General Harney's Dignity Shocked.

The following story is told of General Harney when he was iu command at Odinp Verede Texas. He was an intensely dignified officer, aud if there was one thing he detested more than another it was undignified haste. One evening, just as he was aoout to hold dress parade, perceived that he had forgotten his handkerchief, uud a* the weather wa3 very hot, he said to his Orderly: “Go to my quarters, quick, und bring me my handkerchief,” The Orderly touched is cap, and started tor the quarters several hundred yards distant. After ho had proceeded a short aistauee, remembering there was no time th lose he broke in ; o a trot. “Se e that scoundrel running as if thelndi ans were after him. If there is anything 1 hate it Is to see a soldier run uing iust aa of marching properly, my man,” continued Harnov to another*soldier, “go after that man and tell him I say to walk.” The second soldiei started after the first, but as the first one kepi on ! tinning, the second one saw his only chance to deliver his message was to hurry up, so he, too, broke into a run. To say that Harney sworo is to use a mild expression. “Here, Sergeant, go after that man, and tell him if he doesn’t stop running. I’ll hang him up by the thumbs.” The Sergeant started out In a brisk walk, but as his predecessor had a good start, he, too, began to run as hard as he could. “If all three of the scoundrels ain’t running like jack rabbits,” ejaculated Harney, “I’ll show’em.” Aud tucking his sword under his arm, he started in pursuit as fast as he could run; but suddenly remembering his dignity, he came to a halt and walked stiffly aud slowly back to t lie place where the dress parade was to come off..

For the first time, it brings the scholarly productions of the masters in modern science within the reach of etudents and all readers who most need, and most highly appreciate, their work. The plan of the Cyclopedia differs from auy previou ly published, in that instead of being a mere alphabi tical list of briefly treated lopics, including a mass of unimportant subjects, it will include, complete, the most im portant woeks’of leaking scientific writers upon subjects or the highest value and iuteres'. Each volume will be complete in itself. Volume one, just issued, a large “model octavo” of nearly 709, is sold at the price of $1 50 for the cloth, and $1.75 for the half Russia binding, and contains what has heretofore appeared ij onmerous volumes, obtainable ouly at many times the oost: the works of such authors as T. A. Huxley, R, A. Proctor, Herbert Spencer, Andrew Wilson, R. C. Trench, Alexander Bain, George Rawlinson, and others. This volume will be followed soon by volumes two and three, tho contents of which are said to be of even greater popular interest and scientific value than the present. It is almost superfluous to name the publisher of this grand contribution to the intellectual progress of the masses, for who else would furnish so much that is excellent for so little cost as John B. Al-» den, New York? For sale by book sellers and club agents.
