How Gen. Forrest Liked To Be Shaved

From the Mobile Register. The Civil Rights bill may enable the colored gentlemen to enjoy all the privileges of soda water fouutains, ice cream saloons, and billiard rooms - but we would like to see him subject himself to the mauipulation of a white barber. He would find himself in as dangerous a position as General Forrest. It is said that Forrest went into a barber-shop ou Broadway to be shaved. The colored gentleman who officiated was voluble. Forrest was in a good humor and disposed to be talkative. At last it ciine out that the gentleman being shaved was General Forrest, whereupon the colored gentleman wanted to knowif he was having the honor to shave General Forrest of tbe late Confedérate cavalry. General Forrest mildly assented. Whereupon the barber remarked that he was glad to make the general's acquaintanoe as his brother was a soldier in the Federal army. " Where is your brother f" asked the general. "He was killed at Fort Pillow !" answered the barber. Silently and gently as the fall of the snow flake - but accurately and without hesitation - the General slid from beneath the razor of the barber, and with a face bare as to one side, and lathered as to the other, remarked : " You can't shave me this morning P" A friend who met him a moment later, remarked on the singular appearance of his face. The General merely observed : " I like to have half of my face shaved at a time."
