He was ag Important and dlgtii lied as a Major General up to a certain point, and then he eollapfred. The boys culled him Sir Thomas, the Flapper, and then with army directness short­ ened it to Flap. Sergeant Flop was majestic and lorbidding 011 the slight­ est provocation. Wheiiou picker cUity he woo id challenge a man with par.-ide and formality, but he never could tell whether the challenged party gave the right countersign or not. When things came down to business the Sergeant became nervous; wheii excited he always blundered. Once on a gram] review, when the company came to n halt. Flop matched majestically for­ ward head erect, and eyes cast at regu­ lation distance en the ground to tlie front, unconscious of the laughs and words of ills companions,until lie came up against the company in front. Then casting at the men a withering glance, tie suddenly realized what he had done |nd caine buck tlie very picture of $ |illy boy. On the mareli of tha Array of tite Ohio northward, after Bragg, Sergeant Flop became very Indignant because there were no springs in Southern Ken­ tucky. As the command neared Cave City, a large spring was discovered, and the Sergeant started for it, blundering along, trying to take oil his'canteen, which he failod to see vns buckled under his belt. lie came to the spring fn great heat and walked up to It and into it. As liis foot touched the water, and as lie stooped to till his canteen, a quiet mail wearing a dusty coat and a little straw hat, sitting erect 011 a Horse, said sharply: "take your loot out sir." Sergeant F. straightened himself up, gave the mail in the straw Jiata withering glance an<l said: "Who are y«u, sir? No quartermaster's clerk can order nre arot|iid,sir." The man in the straw hat simply repealed: "lake-- your--foot--out of that water, sir." ami the foot came out. Just then a cavally man said, "that's General Buell." This jaiinounceuiejir^ewildered him. II tie Iwd an aiiLbilion to lie like any man except himself, t-iiat man was General Buell. Here had met his hero and had Hot known liitn. lie made a blind dash to get awav, and in so doing tioundered through the spring, going to his middle in the clear, cold water, and then without a drop of water In c?mteen'er stoinaeh, he rolled away like a turkey witli-a4»roken wing. Getiepf Buell was moving hU army the besi team in our county, and the haudtfotuost gal.

(0*Tw» of Postmaster General Qreshani's recommendations .in his amuial reports are likely to meet with wide spread endorsement. The first is the unit of letter postage be changed from half an ounce to one otmc«. This1 Is the weight allowed in England and as we have Imitated the English postal system in the rate, and even In tlie Ap­ pearance of the stamp, why not follow in this respect. He also recommends that the rate ot'newspaper postage be changed ffum one cent for two ounces to one cent for three ounces. In these days of blanket sheets many news* papers weigh more than two^oirnces. It is the general Impression that one cent is suftlcient for any paper and consequently a great number are not forwarded on account of InKutHcleut postage. The postmaster general estimates that on this account alone at least teji per cent of the newspapers mailed fail to renoh their rtostiuationk These tw» changes would be a great convenience to the people and not se rlou-ly diminish the revenues ot the department.--Belvitiere Standard, otm rtr*xr i«kvtkr r«o* it.
