NOT THAT KIND 
Among Ihe stories told of the late Gen. 
Thomas is one of an incident which oc¬ 
curred when he and his chief of staff, Gen. 
Garfield, were inspecting the fortifications 
of Chattanooga, in 1863. They heard a 
shout; 
“ Hallo, mister! You! I want to speak 
to you!” And Gen. Thomas found that he 
was the person addressed by an uncouth, 
backwoods Fast Tennessee soldier, lie 
stopped, and ( lie dialogue which ensued was 
as follows; 
“ Mister, I want to get, a furlough." 
“ On what grounds do you want a fur¬ 
lough, my man ?” 
“ I want to go home and see my wife.” 
“ IIow long since you saw your wife?” 
“Ever since I enlisted, nigh on to three 
months.” 
“ Three months ?” good naturally; “ why, 
my good man, I haven’t seen my wife for 
three years.” 
The East Tennesseean stopped whittling 
for a moment, and stared incredulously ; at 
length he said: 
“ Well, you see, me and my wife ain’t that 
kind I” 
Even Gen. Thomas’ grinmess was not 
proof against the laughter which he rode 
away to conceal, leaving the astonished sol¬ 
dier without an answer.

A gentleman who was very zealous on the 
subject of horses, but not according to 
knowledge, bought a mare at auction and 
rode her home. 
“ Well, C.esar,” said he to his sable

cost me five hundred dollars.”
