HISTORICAL EVIDENCE.
"The late Richard Mansfield was a
•patient sufferer in his last illness,
and he retained his good cheer to a
marked degree. One day he told his
physician that he believed he would
jaot live many weeks longer.
"Bosh!" -said the physician. "You
are good for a long time yet. Why,
man alive, did you ever hear of anybody
near death with legs and feet as
^warm as yours?"
"Yes," replied Mr. Mansfield, "lots
.of tlhem. For instance!, there was
Joan of Arc, and the Salem witches."
—Harper's Weekly.
MILITARY TITLES DISCONTINUED.
The late Senator Morgan used to
•enjoy telling a story illustrative of
-the cheapness of military titles a few
years after the Civil War.
A traveller in the South was passing
through a certain populous country
district, and stopped to converse
with a farmer who had a considerable
number of men at work in his hayfields.
"Most of these men are old soldiers,"
said the farmer.
"You don't tell me! Were any of
them officers?"
"Two of them. One there was a
private, and the man beyond was a
corporal, but the man beyond him
was a major, and that man away over
yonder was a colonel."
"Are they all good men?"
"Well," replied the farmer, "I ain't
going to say anything against any
man that fought for the South. That
private's a first-class man, and the
colonel's pretty good, too, but I've
made up my mind to one thing—
ain't going to hire any
generals."—Lippincott's.brigadier-
