In the "Reminiscences of: an Emi­ grant Milesian" is -the following enri- •' otu? anecdote' J Stack, formerly of Walslie's - regiment, was among the officers of the Irish brigade who went on half pay at ° its dissolution, tie had .remained on half pay so long that he, became the oldest colonel in the ariW. lie obtained" hTS'proni'ou()ii' to1 the rank of major,gen­ eral after a somewhat cnriolw..inter'view •with the Dnke of York, the commander iiLchief at that time. Having solicited %he honor of an audience of his royal highn°«s. he received an " intimation ' tkat the duke would receive him at the Horse Guards utfxt day. He wjw^pwictual in his attendance, and being uitreduced •e the poniniander in chifif was honored J<. . T»y the enstomary question r "Well, colonel, whae can I do for you?" "I perceive, sir," replied Stack, " that there is "a brevet coming out. in which 1 hope to be included. I am the senior colonel in his majesty's service." , "True, Colonel Stack, but give me leave to ask you of what religion you. are?" ; . •t "1 am of the religion of a major gen- eral." ;' • ] " v :• The duko bowed, and Stack was ga­ zetted. . K.at and Rattler, ':' •" A Kentucky man caught a big rattle­ snake 5 % feet long and kept it in hia store iu a.box with' a glass cover as a- suriosity. Not. long , ago he pnt a. rat and a frog into the box to feed his rat­ tlesnake; The next- morning the frog . was out of sight,* but the rat was still there and apparently very indifferent: to the snake's presence. The rat remained . \ undisturbed"all that day* bnt the gro- ceryman confidently expected the snake to make a meal off the rodent that night.In this, however, lie was mis­ taken. The next morning when he ex­ amined the box he found the snake dead *nd the rat perched upon its head. A large place in the rattlesnake's hide showed that the rat -had satisfied his hunger with a dish of rattlesnake. The box gave evidence of a struggle between the snake and the rat, and the marks upon the snake's body showed that the rat had beeu quicker with his teeth than the snake had been with its fangs. The rat was uninjured and was kept as a onriosifcy.--New Orleans Picayune.
