She then caused the head as well &;!: .’n^XiSin ^^£3: n.w in progress 11mm. new there. lUl.rrimi Referring .0 to bi. his visit to the Booth in 1&67, Judge Kelley says: . “The South was a land of desolation, her fsrm« veto fenceless and uncultivated,। and her people were without reproductive stock, or that with which to imncl modern agricultural implements had they been be­ stowed upon them gratuitously. They were, practically speaking, without seed for food cr crop# except what was bestowed upon them by persona! friends or tho Gov. erument, through the Freedman’s Bureau aud the agencies of tho Agricultural De­ partment.” Contrasting this with what be saw on his late trip, he says: “The progress in wealth, in tho means of individual com­ fort and productive power, has been mar­ velous. and the change wrought from then until now in tho immense development of coal and iron ore of these States, and tho increase in number and extent of industrial centers, mnyiustly be regarded as the work ot Titans. The systems of, railroads that now traverse the Boult feci in the con,-tructioi track, and bridges, an< cars and the means pt_ transportation of freight as those of the North. Lateral roads branch from them into such valleys as are known to be spec.ally rich, not in iron alone, bnt in oluer minerals, some ot which are found in such profusion and juxtaposition ns to seem to defy geologic laws as elsewhere illustrated. “Prior to the war," Judge Kelley writes, "the South neither had nor desired to have great cities. It is also true that her states­ men preferred that their workshops should be in foreign lands, and that tho ships that exported their products and brought them commodities in exchange should bo built and owned by foreigm-n. In this respect the contrast is most striking." Nashville he found th be a beautiful city, which surprised him by the extent and va­ riety of its manufactures and tho magnifi­ cence of its buildings. Chattanooga and Birmingham are each a marvel in its own way. In the former he visited tho great industrial enterprises that are in operation there, and it was hero that his attention was first attracted to the n«nt, commodious, and well-painted homes of the negro labor­ ers in mining, smelling, and mechanical pursuits. The mechanical skill of the col­ ored laborer in some of these enterprising cities surprised him, and convinced him that with an industrial art school they would soon produce gratifying evidence of the adaptation of negro labor to mechanical pursuits requiring a high degree of skill. Referring to the proximity of coal, iron ore, and limestone at Birmingham, be says it is not surprising that the overaanguine men of that city really believe that they will bo able to moke iron so cheaply os to soon close up the works of Pennsylvania and force her iron masters and their em­ ployes to re-establish themselves at Bir­ mingham. This, he states, has produced a speculation in town lots that may retard the immediate growth of Birmingham, and time, by various processes, will de­ termine the actual value of corner lots iu a city whose success is to extinguish the furnace fires of Pittsburg, Brad­ docks, Johnstown, Bethlehem, aud gener­ ally throughout Pennsylvania. At Annis­ ton ho spent ten days making a thorough investigation of the resources of the coun­ try tributary to that placed Here he found extensive iron-works, machine-shops, roll­ ing-mills, car-works, and other industries, besides a large cotton-mill, which ships a considerable part of its product direct to China. The company which planned and built Anniston owns 50,00't acres of land in which aro immense deposits of brown and red hematite, foMnliferous, specular, and magnetic, mountains of lime­ stone, and seemingly inexhaustible supplies of wood and cooking and gas coal. They have just completed a sixtymile railroad, and will build another six­ teen miles tn long b. besides two furnaces and other onterprses. He predicts that though Anniston has never h#d a “boom,” and though its platting and development have been managed so quietly that its name is hardly recognized by the popular oar, it will, before two decades shall have paased.be one of tbo most remarkable cen­ ters of iron, steel, and kindred industries to bo found in those wonderfully endowed States—Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee. In closing he says: “I have given bnt faint intimations of the resources of tho mineral regions of the Sonth, of the im­ pulses that now animate her controlling people, and of the rapid strides with which the spirit of the nineteenth century is changing not only the aspect of the coun­ try but the purposes and aspirations of tho people of the new South." “t^*^ Si ed. and towed that she would be rid of him some day., “These and other facta almost too horri­ ble for description mark the caac a. a plain ono of deliberate and premeditated murder There seems to be rcarcely a mitigating circumstance.

Queer, isn't it?” ' “Decidedly—exasperatingly queer." re­ plied Air. Marshmallow. “If the book be a Heriou-t one, the effort is entirely super­ fluous; the author should be promptly con­ demned for trifling with the feelings of his fellow-mortals by raising such wildly im­ possible expectations." “I didn’t mean exactly that,” said Mrs. Marshmallow, reflectively. “Well, then, will you kindly explain what you did mean?' queried Mr. Marchmallow, "and I trust your meaning will prove clearer than this beverage which you miscall coffee." “I mean that it is queer that any one should have thought such a book necessary or called for. There seems to be an ap­ parent absurdity in the very title," sold Mrs. Marshmallow, pouring her husband’s second cup, and overlooking his slur upon her coffee. . “Ah—and there is just where I should differ with you," replied Mr. Marshmallow. "The world is simply yawning for such a book, could it be successfully written. But the effort will prove a vain one; the prob­ lem set forth in the very promising title you quote cannot be solved. Has it never occurred to you that the comforting assur­ ance that in heaven they neither marry nor ore given in marriage constitutes one ot the surest foundations of eternal felic­ ity? If Bob Ingersoll and his ilk had fully coturidered tha; text, they would never ’hove tried to overthrow the authority of the blessed book that contains as glorious a promise." “Aqd yet, I have never observed signs of any remarkable haste ou your part to reach that bright and celibate hereafter,” sug­ gested Mrs. Marshmallow, thoughtfully. "Your remark is not pertinent to the dis­ cussion, and, besides, it is stale,” said Mr. • Marshmallow. “And I am sure that if I were to step out suddenly, you would con­ sole yourself with some other fellow; and as he, whoever he may be, has never done r e any harm, I shall probably continue to sacrifice myself for his benefit." “You are a kind-hearted man, John," re­ plied Mrs. Marshmallow softly, “but your self-sacrifice is unnecessary. If a kind Fru'ridenoe sees fit to telease me from my Eisent situation, I will agree never to full o another scrape of the same kind." A gentle silence brooded like a benedic­ tion over that breakfust table. At length John arose. “Is there anything you want in town to-day?" said he. “Nothing." replied his wife, “except a yard and a half of silk to match this sam­ ple—you will find it at Hewyer's—and half a dozen spools of twist of the same shade; and will you call at Steele's, and if my bracelet is mended bring that up. and------ ’ “Do you take me for on express wagon?" said Mr. Marshmallow with some asperity.

David Davis tells tho frozen truth when he soys: "Each year every local paper gives from $100 to $5,000 iu free lines for the benefit of the com­ munity in which he is located. No other agency can or will do this. The local editor, m proportion to his means, does more for his town than uny other ten men, and in all fairness, man with man, he ought to be supported, not because you happen to like him or admire bis writings, but because a local paper is the best-iu vestment a community can make.

Mr. Carter." ■ Snap! There wa* a mi«s fire. It all happened twenty-five years ago, when Rear Admiral, then Lieutenant, Jouett wa* at the head of a volunteer party that had left the United Stale* frigate Santee to destroy tbe two Confederate ves­ sels, General Rusk nnd Royal YachL The story was told to the New York Herald r««portcr by onF of the volunteers, who flatly ' refused to allow his name to be used. “Jun Jouett," he said, “must get tho credit, for it belong* to him." Tbe Santee lay off the harbor at Galveston. Texas, November 7, 1861. The two Confed­ erate vessels lay in the harbor. Lieutenant James E. Jouett, then sening on tho San­ tee, requested to be placed in command of a party to go and destroy the two Confederat< s. and his request was granted. Accordingb* the snip's two cuttere, withabont forty men, were placed under his command for the expedition. He wa* provided with n twelve-pound howitxrr. loaded shells, with long fuses, to lie thrown down the hatchway*, and portlire*, fireballs, and slow matches. Lieutenant Jouett look command of the first cutler, with Gunner Carter at the gun. Lieutenant Mitchell commanded the second cutter. The two boat* were rowed up in the harbor in the evening in the direction of tbe enemy, who lay *ome seven miles from the San­ tee. Approaching tho General Rask in tbe darkness tbe first cutter ran ashore, and the second, close behind, ran into her. Several oar* were broken, and enough noise made to raise an alarm on the General Rusk. This compelled a lelreot, as the Rusk was too - powerful to attack excepting by surprise, and the cutters headed for the Royal A nebt. Then came the hail, the rapid order*, nnd the wiss-firw already told, and in u moment one of the most desperate adventures of tbe war was in progress. Tho men clinched their teeth and rowed m if for life. Carter, whose first primer hud failed him, adjusted another as quickly a* hi* trained fingers could do it, and fined, placing a ah«Il in the schooner below the watcr-Mne. Almost at the same moment-Jouett gave the order, “Trail oars! Stand by to board!" The recoil of the howitzer, however, de­ stroyed the boat's headway and made it impocaiblc for the party to board. The cutter, however, was ao near the schooner that Mr. Carter, revolver tn band, mode tbe leap, and found himself alone on the ene­ my'* vessel. He dropped behind the seboon er's bits and opened fire at once on her crew with his revolver. / Jouett had taken the tiller, and, teeing that the boat was drifting back, ordered the oars out again. Aa the boat came up again toward- tho schooner Bell, the pilot, stood on tbe gunwale of the launch swinging the grapnel. He was struck by a ball and fell into Mr. Jonttl's anus. Jouett sprang for­ ward aud at t^e moment the coxswain fell mortally wounded. “I can hear his cry now," said th* narra­ tor, "as he Bald: ‘ O, Jtfr. Jouett, (her aro killing us from the olhe- boat.' He was right, though be hod been struck by a ball from tho schooner. The other cutter had mistaken u* for Confederates, and they were Bring on u*. We ohouted to them, but the noise of the engagement drowned our voices, and Jouett ordered all but tbo four oarsmen who were pulling to lie down in the bout. " As tbe boat neared the schooner again, Jouett sprang aboard with the boat's point­ ier and matte her fast to the main-sheet cavil. “Now i* your time. Come on board!" ho shouted, and turned to rush forward. In turning be ran against a pike held by a man wbo was braced in the cabin botvhwav, aud the blade passed through his right arm into hi* side. He was dszca, 'and sat down on the rail, though, as he after­ word said, be wa« unconueiouM of his wound. The mon bolding tho pika gave a powerful thrust to push him overboard, and Jouett, then first realizing the situa­ tion, threw himself back. Then, grasping the pika, still sticking in hi* body, he grappled with hi* assailant. In th- acuftle the pike was broken, and Jouett drew the blade from his side, and, striking hi* enemy on the bead wi‘h jt, throw it overboard. All this happened quickly and in the darkness. Jouett then rushed forward to aid ‘Mr. Carter and the schooner’s crew ran below. The vane! was in a sinking con­ dition, hut he was determined to cjptnre the crew. Tho wound in the hero's arm bled so rapidly that he once more became dazed, anil to roeover his senses struck hi* head violently against the schooner's pivot gun. This roused him. Meantiine the forts of the harbor bad opened fir.-. au<l Mvera! punlxiat* could be seen von ing down the river. Carter had '■prang tote hatchway, revolver in hand, and Jouett Mheuted to the crew below to come up and surrender, but not a man came. “Men, go down in th* hold aud drive ’em out, he shouted to his own ervw, now all on board, but not one of them went. Maddened at this be sprang below himself, and found there ten armed men. Two of them Marled to go up. bnt sudden­ ly one shouted loo nr men to retreat, aud all. excepting Carter, ran io th* aide, jumped into the : oat, and shoved off. Jouett. hearing tha stampede, pulled down the two men who were ciatuberiug up and camo into the boat himself. •nd ordered the crew to pall Uek again. They obeyed, and Jouett,' a*<ain leaping aboard, maned into tbe hold tbv second Uwe. He had just given the order again to the Confederates to go ou deck, wb^n oome one of the boat'* mew raiaed the cry “Santee.” This wae the watchword for retreat, *nzl the crew made another wild rash for the lx>ai. By thi* time Jouett's position was des­ perate, but he backed up the hatchway, pointing his revolver at tbe heads of the enemv, and ranched the deck once more, only to find that C irler was sdRa alone. “Drive those fellows back wntt Lguard the hatch,” raid the Lieutenant, anti Carter ran to the stem rail. 1 ho boat was some fifty yards away, aud be shouted with blind rage: “Go back, you coward*! Go back and tell your shipmates you deserted yonr officer*. Mr. Jouett and I will bring this vessel out alone." Stung l>y his bitter reproach the crew again returned to tho ves el. Carter then went below and drove up all but tho Cap­ tain and two men. They obstinately re­ fused to come up. and .Jouett. threatening them' with a shell, lighted a fire-ball and throw it below, leaping down the hatch after it. They thought it a she'l, and sprang quickly to the deck, where they sur­ rendered. Jouett seized the schooner's color*, got hi* party, prisoners and all, into the cutter and shoved off. His peril, however, was not over. He wa* wounded nnd his ship wa* seven mile* away. He had only eight oaramen. there were thirteen prisoners in the l>oat. His compas* was lost. Hl* pilot and cox­ swain were shot. Tho wind and sen were against him. His crew wore demoralized, even nfter the victory. And, above all, the enemy were in hot pursuit. Sitting on tho gunwale of his boat, be­ tween the Captain and mate of the schoon­ er, with nothing but a rod nhirt wrapped around bi* finger* to stanch the flow~ofhis bloozl, he commenced a retreat that took three hours, thongh lie could nt ttine* hardly *peok for pain mid weaknksy' At six in the morning, however, he nrached tho Santee. . The Federal los* was one killed and two officers nnd six men wounded. Two of these afterward died. The enemy’s los* wa* never known. • In General Order 21. the Navy Depart­ ment thanked Lieutenant Jouett, Lieuten­ ant Mitchell. Gunner William Carter, Acting Master's Mate W. C. Adam*, and the seamen for their gallantry, and ordered Lieutenant Jouett to New X'ork to lake a command worthy of his valor. Brigadier General McDowelL Irvin McDowell, who died in Saa Fran­ cisco, was born in Fruukhn County. Ohio, in 1818. He was educated at West Point, and fought in the Mexican war. At the outbreak of tlie war he enthusiastically espoused the Union cause, nnd was ap­ pointed a Brigadier Genera! in tho regular army, and in that capacity commanded at the first battle of Ball Run. He reefived the blame for that disastrous affair, bnt was afterward res'ored to the confidence of the Washington authorities, and took part in the advance against Manassas in March, UW2. under McClellan. He was appointed to the Department of the East, and in 1872 was in command of the Department of the South. The last command be hod was of the Department of the Pacific, from which he was retired in September, 1882. “Use the Bayonet. ColoneL” In rd article on Stonewall Jackson in the Stovd/irm Pioouac for November, Thoms* M. Boyd tells of his appearance on the field of battle: I never wa* close to him on the field of battle bnt once; that wa* on the hill not far from the Henry House, nt the first bat­ tle of Manaiuuu. He was extremely pale but bi* eyes ; Jared with au unnatural bril­ liancy. . It was on that occasion that Colonel Bay­ lor, of .Augusta County, rode hurriedly up to him and sai.l, “General, my men are armed with the old flint-iock musket, and not hjdf of them will tire." He replied, “If you examine it, you will find that old muaket has the best bayonet in the world. Use the bayonet. Colonel." In a short time the Federal troop* began to give way. and it bi possible that this circumstance turned the tide of battle. I have seen tho statement somewhere, that General Bee eaid to han. “General, they are beating ns back," and J nek son's reply was, “We will give them the bayonet, sir. Thia may l»e true, but it ia j robable that the .remark made to Colonel Baylor was afterward claimed to have been made to General Bee. I will never forget the terrific fighting that evening about throe o'clock—the roar of artillery, the screaming, bursting shells, the rattle' of stnidl arms. The smoke blinded me; I stooped low to are how to lead my men. We were almost exhausted, aud burning with thirst. Beauregard gallojied by; this gave u» some hope, and we cheered him and pressed on.

Escaping the Guards. POPULAR PRESCRIPTIONS. German reMEOY FwPain^^s NEW BLACKSMITH SHOP. Danvherty Bniliini, Sonth Kain St., It is pleasant, even at this distant day, says J. W. A. Wright, in the Southern itirouac, to recall the extreme and admir­ ing devotion to Colonel Hawkins, even amid the trying scenes of a rough and dole­ ful military prison, ns shown by several young metnber* of hi*“Scout*” who *harcd with him hi* prison life. The pleasant companionship of a Lieutenant Spence, I e<]>ecially remember, and often recall hi* peculiar and bold mode <>f escape from a really strong pri-en-gnard in broad day­ light on the streets of Nashville. Hero are the facts of hia remarkable escape: Whenever enough prisoner* were col­ lected in tbe distributing primm, the Nash­ ville penitentiary, they were marched under guard to the provost marshal'* office, a Slain brick •building not far from Mrs. nmes TK. Polk’s beautiful and noted re«idence. One bright cold dav in January, 1863, with streets and sidewalks covered tn places with packed snow and ice, a batch of fifty or sixty prisoner*, mostly officers, were marched along the rather retired streets from the penitentiary to the provost marsbul's, and thence to tho handsome State Capitol, to have their names properly re­ corded before they, were sent to some per­ manent prison camp. They were guarded by twenty or thirty men of the Veteran Corp* with rifles loaded and bayonet* fixed for immediate action in case of any ettempt at escape. Near the head of tbe column wm Lieutenant Spence, dressed in a citizen's suit, including a black folt-hat and heavy black overcoat, *ent him by some uf tho Good Samaritan ladies of Nashville. By tho time we reached the provost marshal'* office, the guard bad become somewhat noeial with ti e chatty prisoners, and rather careless', nnd more or less citizms. passing to and fro. were near the column, at times con­ versing with some of (he prisoners.

It was-tiut-pjoneer of low-priced journalism in the west. From the first the controlling conviction of its managers has been that a “cheap paper" should be cheap only in price; that .its news should be as fresh and: complete, its editorial discus­ sion as gble, and its general tone and character as- pure and healthful as its best and highest-priced contemporary. This has been its ideal. How well it has succeeded in the actual attainment of so high a standard is best evidenced in the fact that it now regu­ larly prints and sells over 150,000 papers a day,—a lar­ ger circulation than that of all other Chicago dailies com­ bined. The CHICAGO DAILY NEWS is an INDEPEND­ ENT newspaper. , It is not partisan. Neither is it a neu­ tral. It is a paper of positive opinion, expressed without fear I or favor.

As tha gas and ■yrtip rattled down bis neck and searched oat tbe place for which it was intended, the noble red man suddenly made the discovery that be bad struck something that be liked. During the next two days he piled fifty-two gla*ea o>' top of the first, and still had room for more. Bat the druggist, a well-meaning young man, did not have that thirst for gain so common to most people, and rather than see the poor misguided child ot nature swell and burst, like a toy baloon, and scat­ ter hi* anatomy to tlie four winds, refuwd to sell him any more of the dangerous stuff. "Sam, can yer lend me a dollar that yer have no use furf” said Jim Webster to Sam Johnsing. "Certainly, Jim; l’s pleased to accom­ modate yer,” said Sam, handing Jim a dollar.

The other day a son of the Em­ erald Isle entered a drug store there, and, taking a bottle from his pocket, asked far a quart of whisky. Tlie salesman asked to what use it was to be put, and the reply was. "to soak roots in it.” The order wm filled, and the clerk, after handing over tlie bottle and its contents, inquired in a conver­ sational way; "What kind of roots are you going to soak!” Pocketing the bottle, the customer said: "The roots of my tongue, be jabera.” There is very little encouragement for Dan Lamont to carry this adminis­ tration on his back, to take tbe medi­ cine prescribed for.the president’s rheu­ matism, entertain Frank Lawler when he calls at the White House, and look over Democra .c papers by tlie car load every day to select such as are fit for his chief to read, when the incumbent ef a twenty-five dollar post-office in Kansas petitions for the changing of the name of the place from Lamont to Vassar, on tbe groand that the former name has an injurious effect on its bus­ iness. _ _ , r Mrs. 8.

From a friend in Pari* we have recieved on ofliciai programme of the Enivenal Congress of Babies held in Faria, France, last apzing. It wa* or­ ganized under’tfie patronage of gwv»B- x ment officials, physicians, artiste, and many, societies devoted to the protec­ tion of infancy. Children from one year to five were admitted without distinc­ tion of nationality or birth. A prize of about $*200 was offered for tho most beantifnl infant, another of less valne for the most robust, and other prizes . were offered, for those parents or nurses who had some new, valuable sugges­ tions to offer relating to the care and bringing np of children. Each child was submitted to'an examination under the keen eyes of artists and, physician*, and to each was. accorded a certain number of points, just as the judges in a dog show look over the animals brongnt to them. From an eye observer who sent a communication to Babyhood we quote as follows: “To a long wooden hall, or Casino us it is ambitiously called, the'dozens of proud parents daily bring their tiny candidates for the honor of medals and mention, and there they ait waiting until the physicians, artiste, and members of the city government shall form a jury ready to pronounce upon each little one. Nothing is more amusing than to stroll through this halt The heat is quite phenomenal for a Parisian public place, and. is all the more necessary because the babies, male and female,"are submitted quite nude to the inspection of the jury. As the parents arrive, the husband proud­ ly bears the undressed baby in his arms to a great table on which "it is* posed before the jurors. Little girl babies usually give the jury but small trouble, but the boys are more aggressive. One beneficial result of this congress was that physicians were able to point out to expectant parents defects which had been overlooked, and which ought early to be discovered and provided for. Parents who thought their babies were fit for a prize were instructed by physicians that the babies had umbili­ cal hernia, rickete, paralyzed muscles, deformities of tho bones, or other de­ fects, the early recognition of which mode it possible to remedy them. Many of the children offered were ruled ont as not admissible on account of such defects, and of course only those physi­ cally perfect and artistically beautiful gained high points in prizes. We should not be at all surprised to hear that there was much dissatisfac­ tion and bickering among the exhibit­ ors, as is usual at one of our dog shows. But certainly it is a very useful feature of the affair that parents were made to see the imperfections in their own children, and furthermore it resulted in dissemination among parents and nurses of a considerable amount of valuable information on the subject of how to raise prize babies. If such com­ petitions could become os general as dog shows, a vast amount of work could be accomplished by them.

To any veteran of two or three years' faithful service in tbs field ibis’will be n most attractive title. After being some­ what hardened to wax by the amoks, the toil, and the blood of several active cam­ paigns, it is interesting to go bock to the first occasion when he found himself un­ der fire, and review its scenes and inci­ dents. Let the reader turn to tbo map of Lou­ isiana, and examine its southeast part,west of the Mississippi, from Morgan City (known during the war as Brashear), up.to New Iberia, he will wee a narrow neck of land between the Gulf of Mexico and Grand Lake, which is traversed by Bayou Teche on its way to Berwick Bay. This nock, as I call it, k even narrower than it looks to be on.thu map; for impenetrable swampforesta lojund it ou tho Gulf side, so that, from bayou to swamp, there is often a width of less than two miles of territory. At the narrowest point, 'which may be marked on the map as about half-way be­ tween Brashear and Franklin, Lho Confed­ erate General Richard Taylor had, in the early spring of 1863, constructed large earthworks right across the neck, mounted them with artillery, some of which was quite heavy, and remained there ns* the season advanced, waiting for General Banks to come up and light. The battle that occurred here ou the 12th and 13th of April was the 'first ex­ perience of the kind tj probably tbreeloorths of the Union aids who were en­ gaged in it. Seventeen of our regiments were under fire here; how many Taylor had is unknown; but he certainly hurl enough to serve alsmt twenty-five pieces of artillery, which made things quite lively for us in those two days. This fight, known ns the battle of Bisland, from die plantation on which it occurred, occupies no conspicuous Clace in the hislorv of the war; indeed, it i probable that thousanda of the readers of that history never hoard of it; but it was certainly the reul thing to us, in tho way of war, and was attended by incidents of a highly interesting character. I propose to describe the field oa I saw it in an off-hand way, and will make it much more interest­ ing than the historian could. We moved out from our camps on the westerly side of Berwick Bay on the morn­ ing of the 12th. It was Sunday; but that circumstance has never made any pause in war, and it did not in ours. I feel like con- < 'calendar straight when out on campaign, and that Sundays were too apt to be treated like other days. But in Louisiana there was one test of tho day that never failed. When the negro women exhibited them­ selves in the gaudiest attire, decked Ln all the colon or the rainbow, then the Sab­ bath had come—sure! Scouts and spies nnd friendly negroes had given information as to where the hos­ tile works were, and one day's steady march would have brought us up to them. But the country was by no means open, though fiat: it was thick with groves, mansions, brick sugar-houses, growing cane and other obstacles which might conceal hostile skirmishers; so our advance was Cautious. It was made generally in two columns, one in the road along the bayou, and one through the fields. Two gunboats kept •long with us, steaming up the Teche, and B small force of cavalry was a quarter of a mile up to the front * Let me-panse only long enough to speak of this wonderful country wo were passing through. The roil was a rich black allu­ vium, deposited in past ogee by the Missis­ sippi and its outlcading bayous. Nature fairly revfeis in that aoil and that climate. Vast plantations of giant sngar-cuno are here; orangM Lang on tho trees almost tbo year round; the magnolia shows its beauti­ ful white flowers; react were abloom every­ where along the way; blackberries were ripe—in April! Further up the country are prairie lands, where herds of beef-cat’tle aud hardy ponies abound. During this campaign, army-rations, save coffee, were almost discarded; sweet potatoes and fresh meat were our staples. In the bayous great alligators splashed and paddled. All along the Teche were the homes ot wealth and- luxury—stately white mansions, the broad plantation lends stretching in front, thoir rear verandas overhanging tho stream, which waa often arched over by the branches of trees meeting overhead. ’Ru­ mors of war had probably reached this Arca­ dian region; but that a hostile army should ever invade it had not been accounted to be within the bounds of possibility. It was upon these scenes that our army came in thoae April days, and heavily was the cruel hand of war laid upon this people. With UJ nf _____ 2.... .____ ..... lossnoss and psllago will ever prevail, aud the people who fled at our approach in many cases found their homes strips and in disorder on their return. A large propor­ tion of these people were of French ex­ traction, and the night of the tn-color flag tho whites in number in Looisiana, a faint idea may be formed of th* scenes that were eontinually occurring along our march.

TEN YEARS AGO, on December 26th, 1875, The CHICAGO DAILY NEWS was founded. It was the pio­ neer of low-priced journalism in the west. From the first the controlling conviction of its managers has been that a “cheap paper” should be cheap only in price; that its news should be as fresh and complete, its editorial discus­ sion as able, and its general tone and character as pure and healthful as its best and highest-priced corttemporary. This has been its ideal. How well it has succeeded in the actual attainment of so high a standard is best evidenced in the fact that it now regu­ larly prints and sells over 150,000 papers a day,—a lar­ ger circulation than that of all other Chicago dailies com­ bined. The CHICAGO DAILY NEWS is an INDEPEND­ ENT newspaper. It is not partisan. Neither is it a neu­ tral. It is a paper of positive opinion, expressed without fear or favor. It seeks the patron­ age of people who love coun­ try more than party. The CHICAGO DAILY NEWS is the only 2 cent paper in the west that is a member of the Associated Press. It prints all the news.

Kai am a- and poverty. xulua are proud of their beautiful city, and well they may be. She is a real gem, and Michigan's diadem of beaut ful cities would be sadly incomplete without her. . Tho announcement that Hon. A. J. Mills, Circuit Judge of Kalamazoo, will not be a candidate for re-election is univenutlly regretted, especially in the ninth judicial court. Judge Mills has been a hard-working and pains-taking Judge—not ready to adopt an attorney’s opinion as bin decision—his rulings have been fair and impartial, and de* risions, in every case, where they have beep appealed, sustained by the higher couif. His prompt, progressive and. business-like deportment upon the* bench, have won the admiration of hundreds. Judge Mills' record has been a brilliant one, and it is deplora­ ble that be is compelled, on account of the meagerly judicial salary, to retire from the bench. The great state of Michigan is large-hearted and gener­ ous in a general way, bat all-fired pe­ nurious in the particular’ way she re­ compenses fier public officers. Every hour brings forth some fresh evidence that the peace of Europe bangs trembling in the balance, and that tlifc season Alone is nn'propitious for the outbreak of hostilities. The predictions of the French and German pree*, the military preparations of these countries, together with the cuncentration of 300,000 Russian troops at Kiev, a town in the southwestern extremity of the empire, on the west bank of the Dnieper, is ominous of evil intention. As the latter is in the direction of Aus­ tria's weakest line of defense, it is con­ sidered a direct menace to this empire, which has taken alarm at the propor­ tions and ultimate intentions of this massive military movement. It is evi­ dent that Austria is bound to be the pivot around which the next European war will resolve with the rapidity and destructiveness of a western cyclone. The present congress ought to take steps to pass a national divorce law which shall secure uniformity in the matter of granting divorces in every state in the union. There can be no possible justification of the present sys­ tem. In some of the states the divorce laws are an abomination. They pnt n premium upon inconstancy, aud they are indirectly responsiblefor the whole­ sale wreckage ot homes which ought to have been maintained and which might have been maintained if those who had entered the marriage relation had found it leas easy to abandon it upon fiivilous pretext They not only disgrace the people of the states where they are enacted, but they outrage the sense of social decency in other states, and they work innumerable complica­ tions of family respectability and of le­ gal rights to property. The Detroit Evening Journal issued a New Year’s carrier’s address which is simply perfection. Its cover page is richly embossed in gilt, and exhibits a •nmple Journal in miniature; the ad­ dress is good, printing in the highest style of the art, and as a rouvenir it is well worth, preserving. The Journal is a progressive paper and it gives us pleasure to note that its business for the past year shows a decided increase , over previous years. May it continue to grow. Suicide is fast becoming a. popular mode of exit from ttie cares and worries of the world, and the man who braves the uncertainties of the -undiscovered country beyond the grave, has come to be regarded with a certain sense of ad­ miration and awe, just as the man who takes his life in bis own hand by per­ forming Rome particular foolhairiy feat is admired for bis daring bravery and courage. The papers are quoting with approv­ al the recent remark of Bishop Ireland, of St Paul, Minn., that no American laborer earning tS or even $3 a day can support a family, a church and a saloon. It is an admirable statement of the case, and it occurs to thoughtful people tliat the man who undertakes to support a saloon invariably neglects his church and his family. The campaign against Col. Henry W. Grady’s boom for the democratic vicepresidential nomination has begun al­ ready in the revival of the circumstance that Mr. Grady introduced Jef! Davis to the crowd at Alanta last spring, say­ ing: "My friends, this is the most glo­ rious day since the resurrection of Christ” Jeff Davis is said to be very withered and shriveled. Little to be wondered at. He has kept himself in the dry-kiln of the "lost cause” for over twenty years and the heat of his own passion has well nigh consumed him. t Another decision m a Pan Electric case has gone against Attorney Gener­ al Garland, and be feels much cha­ grined.

Hih [Now York *p*cUL] It______________________________________ is known that for some weeks John Roach, the ship-buRder, has been confined to hi* residence in gradually failing health. According to his own desire, that his friends nbould not be needlessly alarmed and apprehensive of the effect upon him of learning the real nature of tho disease from which be is suffering, his family and phy­ sicians h/tve been reticent in regard to his condition. Mr. Roach, however, now realizes fully the impossibility of recovery, and the reason for concealment no longer exists. In view of this fact, a representa­ tive of Mr. Roach's family haa made the Labor is Samuel Gompers, of New York, who is Second Vice President of the In­ ternational Cigannakers* Union, and Pres­ ident of the Workingmen'g Assembly of New York. Mr. Gompers is an English­ man by birth, and is now in bis thirtyseventh your. He worked aa a cigarmoker from his fifteenth year until he was called on to give his time to the official conduct of his union. He has been a prominent promoter of ths plan of federation, and though bityself a Knight of Labor, an opKent of amalgamation. He was twice lident of the first Federation, and has long been n prominent officer of his own union. Whether tho labor organizations should be amalgamated into ouo largo body, or should form n federation in which 'each may retain ita autonomy, is one of the anbjecta that have most BcriouKly engaged the thought of the labor leaders. Tho ten­ dency of the trades unions has been toward a federation; and tho tendency of the Knights of Labor toward an amalgama­ tion. Five years ago a loose sort of federation was formed by several trades-unions which maintained its existence, but was pever strong enough or definite* enough to exert any great influence. Another move­ ment wan began early in thu year, by other trades-unions than those which formed this loose federation, to effect a more in­ fluential and definite general organization. This resulted in the recent meeting at Columbus, Ohio, of delegates from twenty­ seven national aud international tradesnninns, who effected an organization which supersedes the fortntr federation. Tbe new organization, under the name of following authoritative statement of his “The American Federation of Labor,” condition. comprises most of tbe better-organized "Mr. Roach is beyond the reach of medi- unions, such as the Typographical Union, ical help save in the alleviation of his suf­ the Federation of Miners and Mine La­ ferings, which have long been incessant and borers, the Cigar-makers' International intense.

The result wm that bills were introduced in Congress by Hon. Geo. L. Yaplc, Hon. T. W. Palmer and Hon. B. M. Cutcbeou, but all of them failed of passage, and the adverse report of the managers of the National Homei seems to have settled the question of national aid. But this did not discourage the good work, and (ha projectors of this beneficent work only waited until the Legislature of Michigan met in Jbho to there present the cause to the representatives of lhe people of tho State of Michigan. Ono day in the early part of tho session Dr. Rush J. Shank, the Department Com­ mander, with Captain Stone, his Adjutant General, accompanied by tho Hons. John Northwood nnd Free Estoe, entered tho room of the Committee on State Affaira, and witL Major J. W. Long, the clerk of the committee, held a consultation over what materialized os the present Soldiers* Home bill. Mr. Estee was chairman pf the Committee on State Affairs, aud it wns de­ sired to have the bill referred to a’friendly committee and placed in sympathetic hands. Hon. John Northwood, of Saginaw County, introduced the bill Jan. 21, 1885; it wm referred by request to the Committee on State Affairs, and by *hem favorably reported. This was a critical period, and Speaker Clark called Hon. L. M. Sellers, Speaker pro tern., to the chair, and m Speaker he saved the Soldiers' Home bill by his gen­ erous ruling that it only took a majority vote to putt tho bill. The bill passed by 54 yeas, 23 noys, and 23 not voting. It then reached the Senate, where it was referred to (he Committees on Military Affairs nnd Finance jointly, and was re­ ported back by theih with 'sundry amend­ ments, June 3, 1885, when it wm passed by a unanimous vote.

Returning to the typographical corps ho served from 1853 to 1859, aud conducted a survey for the Pa­ cific Railroad. Ho next served on light­ house duty until the civil war broke out. In 1861 he was made Brigadier General of volunteers. In December, 1861 he sur­ prised tho Confederates nt Milford, Mis­ souri, and captured large stores. Ho next commanded the Army of the Mississippi, nnd. with Admiral Foote, took New Madrid m 1862. He was mode Major General March-21, 1&62, and captured Island No. 10. United with Halleck, he participated iu tho ndvaneb ou Curiuth, and upon the evacuation of that place, pursued the Con­ federates as far as Baldwin. Called to tho East in June, he was mndo Brigadier Gen­ eral in the regular army, and placed in command of the Army of Virginia, com­ prising Fremont's, McDowell's, and Banks' torces, to which were added those of the Army of the Potomac. The unsuccessful battle of Bull Run was fought August 29­ 30, and September 1; that of Cbantillv, a few days later. General Popo resigned his command, and resumed that of tbo De­ partment of the Northwest. Ho subse­ quently commanded various military di­ visions' and depots. Ho became Major General.

In a few minutes the party made a complete tour of inspec­ tion of tho Home and then wedged its way through a mass of compressed humanity to the little stand which had been built for the occasion in the main vestibule. Back of thia rostrum was arranged Wurzburg's or­ chestra, and, without, a band discoursed martial airs. Tho main vestibule, tho corridors rami­ fying from it, tbo reading room and li­ brary, and other adjacent apartments, tho corridors which cluster around the second•rtory vestibule, were literally jammed full of human beings. It is ’estimated that there wore in the building during lhe dedi­ catory exerciser 7,500 individuals. Tbo platform afforded seats for the Governor's parly and tho following prominent men: G overaor-eleet Luce, ex-Governor Blair, Rev. Washington Gardner. Hon. John Northwood, Dept. Commander G. A. R. for Michigan; Representative Cutch eon, ex-Senator Ferry, Manager W’ells, General Smith and General Fierce. The two points in decoration which were most noticeable were General Grant’s beadquarter* flag, riddled and torn to shreds by bullets, which •was carried from City Point through the war, aud is now owned by Mrs. Col. Geo. Leet; and a por­ trait of the lamented General Logan, draped heavily with crape. The programme wus opened at a few minutes past 1 o'clock, and carried out nearly aa prepared. “America" wus sung by the asHembled throng, a nude quartette leading. Rev. Washington Gardner was announced by the presiding officer, Gov. Alger, and offered prayer, after which Charles Tiedke, the contractor, presented the building to F. W. Hollister, flja archi­ tect, who, in turn, banded it over to Gov. Alger; and Gov. Alger, acting for the State, turned the Home over to John Northwood for dedication. The Department Com­ mander, assisted by the State Inspector General as officer of tho day; Chief Mus­ tering pfficer. Jenison, as Chief Guard Officer;' Chaplain Barry; by Comrades Gray, Racine, and Blose, as Guard of Honor, and by Comrade Lawrence acting for tho army nnd Comrade Olmstead for the navy, dedicated tho Home after the im­ pressive ritual of the G. A. R. Musical selections were scattered through thin and tho subsequent portion of the programme. Governor Alger delivered the dedicatory address, in which, after a most impressive eulogy of tho late General Logan, he said: Kaldiora, tho port me borw> to-duy ii to welcome you to thi* beautiful home, provided for you by a grateful i>eo]d<< who arc glad to car* Charlo* Y.

The architecture ot the building is in the Norman-Gothic style, and stands upon a gentle rise of ground facing tbe river, and flanked by oak groves. Three million aud a half of red brick stretched out into three wings and built up three stones high, arc there; two hundred and fifty cords of rub­ ble stone hold them up, and lho windows are capped and garnished by cut brown sandstone. The building is constructed in tho shape of a capital “I,” with a parallel intersecting tho perpendicular at right,angles half wny between the top and bolton> lines aud of equal length with them. The front length is 258 feet, two of the wings are each 120 feet Ion'.’, and the cen­ tral one. with its heavily mnllioned portecochere and stone-stepped portico on one extremity, and engine aud l>oiler-honw on the other side, covers in length 1C2 feet of ground. All these wings are connected by ample corridors. The foundation walls, which are made of rubble stone. t«o and n half leet thick, rest upon a concrete footing six inches thick nnd three fwt wide for the general walls, placed four feet below«the grade level, and three feet deeper for the foundations of chimney* and the tower. The wads of the firs: story are 20 aud 16 inches thick; on the second, 16 and 12; and on the third and fourth, 12. All of the in­ terior main wails are of brick, 12 and 16 inches thick, varying according to posi­ tion.

Lassixg, January 8, 1887. Tbo Thirty-fourth Legislatare of tbo Slate of Michigan opened in this city at noon of tbe 5th instant, in accordance with the proviaipna of .the State constitution. The Senate waa called to order by Lieu­ tenant Governor James H. McDonald, who is tbe first man from tho upper pentnaul* to occupy, this honorable and responsible, though not very highly salaried position (t-i per day for tho aeaaion only). ■ The new “Governor," as this office- i* always styled, is a tall and well preserved gentle­ man of perhaps 65 yean, with a thick head of gray n*ir, and a heavy mustache, nearly white. Having spent his life first aa a railroad laborer, later as a railroad con­ tractor and builder, and still later as a mine owner and operator, he comes to his new duties entirely unfamiliar with their re­ quirements, yet he is quick-witted and ob­ serving, and 'Will soon be able to preside with ease and dignity. His opening address was short, but contained many good sug­ gestions, and was well received. BENATE officeiui. Tho officers-elect of the Senate are: Sec­ retary-Lew M.

Tho House wax culled to order by Clerk Crossman, of tho last House, and Hon. Daniel P. Markey, of Ogemaw, was elected Speaker, by a vote of 70 to 20 for the Democratic candidate. Mr. Markey, who secured the prize in (he caucus by a vote of 36 to 30 for Hon. M. E. Rumsey, of Ing­ ham, ia the youngest man who ever occuged this position, being only 29 years old. e is an able lawyer, and, although on his first term two years ago, was chairman of the Judiciary, the leading committee of eithi-r holin'.

HTOCKDRIDGE WINS THE PRIZE. Above tho organization of the Legisla­ ture or the reading of tho messages, the event of the week, and oven tho Reaaion, was unexpectedly settled tho first week. The United States Senatorial fight bade fair to be a long and hotly congested one. as there were four strong candidate* in the field aud a dozen “dark horses." Tho lead­ ing candidates were Senator Conger, of Port Huron, who hoped to succeou him­ self; Francis B. Stockbridge of Kalama­ zoo: ex-Congressman Edward 8. Lacey, of Charlotte; and John C. Fitzgerald, of Grand Rapids. A Republican caucus wm called for Tbtusdny evening, and eightynine Republican legislators found to be present when it called to order by Sen­ ator Monroe. Speaker Markey was made Chairman and then nominations were in order. Senator Giddings, of Cadillac, presented the name of Stockbridge, and Senators Palmer and Monroe, and Representatives Hoaglin, McCormick, and Perkins sup­ ported it; all making eloquent speeches. Senator J. W. Babcock presented the name of Mr. Conger, and Senators Atwood and Fox, and Representatives Mokelein, H oakin, and Wood supported it. Representative Diekema spoke eloquently for Mr. Fitzgerald. Representative W. W. Williams named Mr. Looey; while Senator* Crosby and Pot­ ter supported it. Mr. Stockbridge wax declared nominated. Senator Hubbell making the motion to that effect, and then a committee wu sent to in­ vite in the successful and unsuccessful can­ didate*. Mr. Stockbridge made a neat but very short speech of acceptance, while tho others all accepted defeat a* bravely as they oould. Senator Conger, who will thus re­ tire to private Ufa on the 4th of March, after «ix terms in Court*** and one in the United Stales Senate,being visibly affected. The election proper take* place in each house separately on the 17th (second Tues­ day after tho organization) and in joint convention on the 18th. No kick against tho nominee xill be mode, a* when Senator Ferry was defeated in 1883, and so tho caucus virtually settled the Sonatorship question. Mr. Stockbridge was boru in Maine sixty years ago, lived for several year* in Bos­ ton, and then moved to Chicago. He then, in 185U, made bis home in Michigan, and ba* ever since been permanently engaged in lumbering at Saugatuck. Menominee and St. Ignace. He has resided at Kala­ mazoo sines 1874, and waa a Rcpresentativ» in 1869 and a State Senator in 1871. Ho is poascsBod of immense wealth, is brainy, public-spirited, liberal and popular. THE COMMITTEES. Both houses adjourned from last even­ ing to next Tuesday evening, and then tho presiding officer* will announce their standing committee* and businemi will begin in good earnest. Observer. Opinions alxiut eating have taken more alnaibk turn under late medical observations, contrasting with ths time in memory .when conscientious peopl studied _to limit tl;eir fare to tbe frwea ounces thltSrould sustain life:—Pie®, people and infidel philosophers alike thought it an advance when they could record their daily diet at fifteen ounces, mostly of bread and weak drink. Bigid persons carried scales to the table and weighed their food, al­ lowing so many minutes and so many ounces, after which they rose from the table hijugry or satisfied as tbe case might be. Hygienic reformers are still harping on tbe mistaken rule, “Always rise from tho table hungry,” as if the instincts of tho body were given solely to lie disregarded, and to be a constant uneasiness. This ascetic rule is ono extreme of the food question, opposing which we may place tho homely old aayibg, that the way to eat mush and milk was to “sit two inches from the table and eat until you touch." Science and common sense alike forbid hunger and repletion. Dr. Hodges, before the Boston So­ ciety for Medical Improvement, take? high and well-sustained ground that “the body requires not only to be fed, but filled;” and says that the underfed absorb a large part of medical practice for the relief of diseases from the lack of nutrition, among which are nervous prostration, aniemia, neuralgia, cough and throat troubles, constipation, back­ ache, and nausea or sick headache." The symptoms of “chronic starva­ tion,” he declares are' found not only in Irish and Lancashire fam­ ilies- or among -underpaid op­ eratives and shop-girls, but in good families, among growing school children, boys fitting for college, so­ ciety girls, young mothers of families, and workingwomen. Quality of food, with all the heat and force it may con­ tain. will not make up for quantity, and the better educated classes readily deceive themselves and mislead others as to the amount of food necessary for welfare. Under the conceit that eating heartily is neither wholesome nor re­ fined, a habit of going without enough sustenance is established, till the stomach grows contracted from want of sufficient victualing, and the result is low tone, and weakness of body and. brain. Mnch of the ill-humor, the dullness and flatnes» of intercourse, the failure in business and literature, is directly traceable to defective nutri­ tion. Tho mind is slow or confused, tho nerves give way under strain, and that snappishness results which is really a form of hysteria ur men and women. The shortcomings of the usual diet are apparent, when it is seen that the ordinary daily ration of mixed faro should weigh within an ounce and a half of seventeen pounds of the heardest food. The utter inadequacy of the genteel restaurant portion was forcibly shown at the International Health Ex­ hibition in London, when the Vege­ tarian Society plumed itself on furnish­ ing six-penny dinners to four or five hundred persons daily. From the carefully kept account 01 the fare, com­ pared with the standard diet agreed upon bv phisiologista, it appeared that six of too six-penny dinners would be needed to support a man during a hard day's labor. And growing creatures, hard students, and overtasked women require not less than two-thirds this amount, or the body languishes, and it takes but a few years to establish dis­ ease. Experience confirms the neces­ sity of a heartier diet Within twenty years the rations of armies, and of charitable institutions, hospitals, and Srisons have been liberally increased. t is hardly possible to exaggerate the necessity for an amended diet, gener­ ous in quantity, quality, and variety.— The Congregationalint. Stamp-Cvllectom in France. Tbe mania for collecting postage stamps seems to be gaining more ground than ever in France. .Among the most famous collectors is a man who has over 1,000,000 stamps pre­ served in 130 richly bound volumes, and another who keeps two clerks em­ ployed in classifying and arranging his enormous collection. Added to this there are in Paris about 150 wholesale firms employed in the trade, and one of the bc«t known of these haa lately offered from £20 to £40 for certain stamps of the year 1880. Tuscan post­ age stamps dated l>efore 18(10 will be paid for at the rate of £6 each, while stamps from Mauritius for the year 1847 fetch £80, and French stamps of 1849 are quoted at £1 each.—The JrgonauL One of tho moat important rules in the. science of manners is an absolute silence in regard to yourself.

In a word, however, it can bo said that our State 1* practically out of debt; consequent­ ly nothing need bo said of IU credit,.because It does not use it. nor is it probable that it will - ever have occasion to do so a;:*lu. Our State institutions are, in tho main, in .excellent condition. Tho State University, Agricultural College, and Normal School all re­ quire approjiriatlous lor repairs, improvements -and msdutouanco. Tbo liofonn School for Hoys, at Lansing, •under tho able management of Superintendent -Gower, la doing a groat work. 1, however’, xacommuud tbat the name bo changed so aa to atrike out the word -Reform, * for the reason •does no good, an A'the rules of ths institution can a* well bo enforced without the name us with it. Tbe Industrial School for Girls at Adrian needs sopio careful attention and consideration. Tbe same rule will. In a measure, apply to that •cbool. about placing girls tn homes, that haa just been recommended for the lUforni School. A very great wrong connected with this lustitntlon should be righted nt unco. While there arc very many bad girls in tho school, there are quite a large number of small ones, and some larger ones, too. who ore sent there simply txt-' cause they have no friends. They are charged with •vagrancy,' aud witbbomg'waywani' — Anything to coins under tbe letter of the law,, to get rid ortho care at them. No girl can go to that school without carrying away nwr« or leas of a taint which affects her character, and will do so through life, as it ia purely a reforma­ tory, and tho Innocent alias referred to should betaken away immediately. Several smaller - aCtrl" have been sent home and recommitted to U»- Coldwater school within tbe peat year, from which place they have been sent to comfortable homos. I recommend tbe enactment of a law Absolutely prohibiting tbe s-mdlng of any girl Co that institution that bus not a bud character. Of tbe Coldwater school I cannot say too touch In praise. In twelve years it has received nearly 2,AN children. and placed in homes over LOOJof them. Its management, in my Judg' tnent, is aa near perfection aa possible. Tbe State Prison at Jackson is an "old trap," and ought to bo thoroughly overhauled. * Tbo Ionia House of Correction is in excellent xondlUou.

TUB INHAXK. The four Insane Asylums have made bxTiaustive reports of their conditions and doings. It will be noticed that requests are made for frpprovcmonta, for the purchase of land, aud tot the building ot cottages, all of which 1 ap­ prove. except I recommend that whatever moneys are expanded by th» Pontiac aud Kala­ mazoo Asylums shall be taken from tbeir sur­ plus fund and no appropriation from tho Stato asked for. At tbo .ate charged for caring for patients during the present low prices of pro­ visions quite a substantial saving i* made, and it is out of this that it is recommended the im­ provements asked for shall be made. Tho -colony system, so far as it can bo used, is very touch cheaper than keeping • patients in tho main buildings, as cottages can be built tor from two hundred ' and fifty to three hundred dollars per patient, while the main buildings have cost more than a thousand dollars j>cr patient; and besides, thesb cottages placed an farms give the patients work which they gladly perform. and not only benefit themselves but contribute mneb toward their own support. Tbe Asylum at Traverse City ia, in construction and management, all tbat could bo desired. The Asylum tor Insane Criminals at Ionia Is ably managed, but its iocatiou, overlooking the prison yard as it docs, is mo.t unfortunate. I hope it will not bo enlarged, but that it may bo turned Into a much needed prison fur women, and a now asylum, where ample lands can l>e obtained, may be erected tor thu criminal in­ Li submit tho report of tho Mining School, and recommend it to your carotkl attention. The mining interest of Michigan has become so very great, although still in Its infancy, that all that pertains to the scientific knowledge concerning it may be encouraged. I trust you will deal lll>orally with it. This school has opened under tbo most favorable auspices, and already at tho -close of tho first term la in admirable anil estab­ lished working order. Tbe report of tho Board of Corrections and Charities is submitted herewith. Many of its recommendations are excellent, especially those pertaining to our county jail* and poorbouses, but I aitfer materially with them in some matters, and especially tbat contained in the fiftn section of tbe report, which reals as follows; -Tills board has found a great laxity iu tbo method of doing business, and ono which would should never obtain in any State institu­ tion respecting tho expenditure of public money. We desire particularly to disclaim any idea tbat there has been, so far as we know, any wrong, except what may be considered such from tbe facts that the boards sjxmd tbe monov for purposes not abtbortxod by any law. The evil grows out of tho somewhat loose manner In ■which appropriations arc made." It in substance charges tho Boards with mis■appropriatien of money, although probably such is not its Intention. The Boards of those dlflorent institutions are made up from the very beet men in our State—men who give their time and thought to the care of the same without pay or -thanks, but simply from a motive to servo the State and do what good th., v can far tbo unfur­ -part thorough business men, and their judgwent as to any emergency which arises, and which-cannot bo provided for by special legisla­ tion because unforeseen, should bo either acoepted by tho State or ote tho system should be ■stboUsbod or other men appointed to fill their ntaceu. Far Instance, supposing in ono of these turtitutions any disaster should occur, such si a breakage of machinery, loss of property by fire, or oven tbo death of a horse that is essont.al to tho work of tbe earner Under thelrr.plan nothing could bo done to supply tho loss until tbo legislature should meet and make an approprtation; unless, of course, a special contin­ gent fund shall bo placed at tbe disposal of the Soards, tn which case the Htate could not be tho ■gainer, as they would have aa much discretion as now. Contingencies for tho expenditure of money will continually come up. and when they do must be mot, aud there is no way to meet them except by giving tt> tbo Boards in charge discretionary powers to a groat extent. * think it would bo wise to enact a law requiring all boards of institutions to make an­ nual sottiemeuto with tho Btato, covering all unused ar accumulated balances into tho btato Treasury. This would be doing business in a busmoss way. I believe tho Board of Correc­ tions and Charities are doing a most excellent work in the State, but think they are accomjpltoblng their greatest good in connection with to the latter work, nnd that they mav be reliovod from looking after tbo State institutions.

Not less than twenty, nnd possibly more, lives were lost, among them.five life-saving mon, who. in the discharge of their duly, were drowned. Tho morning was bitterly cold, and a blind­ ing snowstorm prevailed, with the wind blowing a gale from the northcast. During a loll in the storm, the life-saving patrol from Little Island Life-saving Station siguted a large ship stranded on the bar about 900 yards from the shore. When he saw the ve*ad be aas going to meat tbe patrol from Dam Keck station, and exchange checks showing that both patrolmen had been to the end of their bent.

Tho following interesting summary Ot tho industrial situation i« from tbe pen of a statistician who is quoted as the highest authority in the lanch It is yet a little early to present’a statistically correct re­ port and review of the American iron, steel, and railroad building interests. Sufficient matei lai has been received to ' present practically safe conclusions, which xro here briefly embotUod; The chief matter of . anxiety tea* to the probable course of prices and tho ]>enuaucncy of the prvikUt widespread industrial activity. Sonic- sixty syndicates or combinations* of capita »*j« have been formed iu Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago since Ostolxr 1 for the purpose of prosecuting Inrge rail­ road, manufacturing, mining, engineering, and other vast <ni«rptises. To move or . stand still for further developments is now the question. A remarkably conservative feeling prevails in all bunness channels. A‘e are in sight of the possibilities of over­ production. Enterprise is everywhere en­ couraged nnd stimulated. Capital i< firing into reproductive channels. Building en­ terprise is straining. Railroad budding has l-egun on a scale of unprecedented magnitude; already 1,2WI,(XM> tank bare been sold. equal to 13.00U miles of track, and only GOO.000 . tons re­ main unsold. Prices of rails have advanced from $34 to $37@$38. Steel rail material is up $5 per ton. Small buy­ ers have been token bv surpris-, and arc rushing in and crowding up markils for spring delivery. Inquiries are on .hand for mririy 100,000 ton* foreign rails nnd material and all American mills ure sold up to Sep­ tember. This is wonderful activity in the face of foreclosuret during the past year amount­ ing to $375,000,000 on forty-five roads and 7,678 miles of track. No les* than 12,000 miles of main track will be built Chis year, and 5,(NHi miles of side track and repair*. New railroad building projects will be pre­ cipitated onto investors of tbo coming eleven weeks,equal to the post eleven. The iron and steel industries are re­ markably active and strong. The present productive capacity of blast furnaces is 128,000 tons j»er week, and 332 furnaces blowing. Prices have advanced in one year $3 to $4 per ton on pig iro*, and S I on steel rails. $3 on old rails, and the same on foreign blooms, elabs, etc. Forty blast furnace* are projected, and about twelve rolling mills of all kinds of large capacity. The following figures show tho pig iron consumption for the years Gross tons sroductiou:. 1880...........;....3.W0.4l5|MM. .<.MU.5Aj.18S5. .<.340,844 IN'I .<.sa.ss itw*. .5.6)4.016 Stool rail production, not tons : MW. ’ "* .1.144,95! 1861. .RM<.10> IBM. .1.094,21} 188J. .1.088.7IMJUW. .1,530,00) 1863. The pig-iron increase is about forty per cent increase in 1886 over 1885, and the steel rail increase is not far from fifty per cent. It is no use to multiply statistics. They all show about the some general result, via: A heavy production, an improvement in price, and a diminution of stacks at all points. The sudden expansion of demand in the latter part of 1886 sent prices up rapidly, chiefly in iron and steel, but in all other direction* prices have moved up only a little. Building material has mA varied much. Lumber is but little above ita sum­ mer and fall quotations, and builders' hard­ ware and tools, machinery nnd agricultural implements are all at fair and moderate prices. The most remarkable tendency observable is to increase capacity in simps, mills, factories, and mines. The present upward tendency may crowd prices to a point which will endanger enterprise, but the probabilities ate the other way. Capital is seeking for the most favorable oppor­ tunities. While the commercial failures are only about 10,600 of persons doing n busi­ ness of over $5,000, 20,000 now firms and corporations have sprung into life, all with sufficient capital to carry on the purposes of their organization. The cost of living is declining steadily, while the tendency in wages is upward. Tbe increasing margin for the wealth pro­ ducers is creating a field for a multitude of small industries. Prices cannot safely advance in iron or steel. In breadstuff's the probabil.tie* are that demand, both home and foreign, will increase, and that a great deal of new territory will be taken up this year% Extensive purchases have been made in* the West nnd South of timber, mineral, and agricultural lands, for speculative purpose*.

Every piece of burnt clothing, aeys, and everything that was not utterly destroyed has been gathered up to aid in tbe identification of bodies.. The respon­ sibility of the accident is now placed upon, tbe freight conductor, Fletcher, who pulled out of a siding four wiles west of Republic without orders, intend.ng to make the sitting at Republic for the passenger train. Be missed his calculation just one mile, and the ashes of the unknown victims testify to his criminal carelessness.

Louis A. Bevans, of Zanesville, Ohio, on his way to Nebraska, was among those who were in the first coach after the smoker. At the Windsor Hotel, Chicago, he told his experience to a reporter: “I was all dressed, with the exception of my shoes, when the shock came. Hastily putting on my shoes and hat and with my overcoat in my hand I rushed out. I was about the find man to get out of the coach, but even when I jumped to the ground smoke and domes were issuing from tho wrecked can. It was the moot complete wreck I ever saw, end even worse than I ever imagined could bo produced by a col­ lision. The baggage-car was crushed like au eggshell against the tender of the pas­ senger engine, while tbe i-moking-car was split in two and piled ou top of ths general wreck. The whole forward end of tha smoker had disappeared and was scattered about in the form of eplinlen and twisted iron-work. "Immediately after I jumped out of the car the people began pouring out. The railroad mn seemed verv cool under the circumstances, and called on all the men to help push back the coaches and sleepers, as they were in great danger of catching fire. It was a little up-grade, but enough of us got hold to push the cars back about sixty feet. In the meantime the fire in the wreck wa* spreading with great rapidity.

Tbe starting point of the Charlotte slide is not elevated more than fifty feet, but as we sat on the front of the toboggan ready to start, it looked a great deal higher, and when the night editor pulled the trigger and "let ’er go Galaghep,” we would have given worlds could we have shed that bold, bad toboggan without injury to our bravery or person. But we held a through ticket that would admit of no stop-offs, and we sailed through at a faster rate than we ever sailed before, little knowing what moment the next might be. We have heard it stated that the highest bliss is oft-times attained through fear and trembling, and thia is evidently tbe case with tobogganing. In any event it is an exhihratiug and healthful sport, and ifany of The News readers should desire to taste they can­ not find a finer slide, or more gentle­ manly managers than Charlotte affords. A couple of well-dressed, smoothtougued chaps, who registered at the hotel as M. Hogan, of Detroit, and Dan Beram, of Grand Rapids—the lat­ ter’s name is said to be Beecher—struck Nashville with a new scheme. They represented themselves as agents for the Union Paper Sack Co., and proposed to cover their sacks with advertising, and then give them away. Two fcrocerv dealers signed agreements to distribute these sacks. Armed with these the fakirs went to work soliciting orders for ads. They secured nine orders and called upon ya printer for spot cash prices for printing 5,000 sacks. We gave them, and then they tried to explain that they had only 1,000 here, which they counted out the money to pay for printing, but in order to close np the deal we most give our receipt for printing 5,000, and in a few days they would forward the other 4,000 sacks and pay for same, etc., etc. But we bad not been brought np to do bus­ iness after that fashion and refused to sign the receipt for any more printing titan we actually received pay for. They talked loud, threatened to take their printing to Hastings, but finally accepted our terms. Their success in collecting was evidently not as flattorering as they had wished, and they Byon departed from town but little wealthier, if any, than when they arrived. They left no sacks here and it h evident that they do not intend to Mhip any in.

There is no doubt but that a bill will money. _________ pass, but at what age is yet a question. The house at Lansing has passed up­ on the amendment to tbe constitution prohibiting the manufacture and sale of liquor in this state, by a vote of 74 yeas to 21 nays. It will probably be p issed by the republican majority in tbe senate also. Should it be adopted tbe republican party will be responsi­ ble for it, and will be entitled to tbe credit, or tbe blame, of once more try­ ing the experiment of prohibitory measures. But the republicans have acted nobly and need fear no evil. They would have been wholly wrong had they cast their votes against tbe resolution and denied the people the right to be heard upon this important matter. _________ Polygamy makes of man a beast, of woman a trembling slave. It destroys tbe fireside, makes virtue an outcast, takes from speech its sweetest words and leaves tbe heart a den where crawl and hiss the slimy serpents of the most loathsome lust. Civilization rests upon the family. The goud family is the unit of good government. The virtues grow about tbe holy hearth of home— they. cluster, bloom and shed their sweet perfumes around the fireside where the one man truly loves the one woman. Love—husband—wife—home mother—father—child—without these tender words the woild is but a lair, and men aud women merely beasts. But polygamy is doomed at last, and the time is near at band when it will be wiped from the face of this portion of the earth! The passage in the House of the anti-polygamy bill without a di­ vision of votes, shows that it is tbe universal sentiment of our legislators to rid the country of these monsters. If tbe provisions of this bill are car­ ried out, and we believe they will be to the very letter, there will be little left in Utah of polygamous organizations a year hence, but a tradition. The bill provides for the confiscation of the property of these people and their or­ ganizations, and opens wide the doors of the penitentiary for those m eu who have more than one wife. A memorial address has been pre­ sented to both houses of congress, which, if true, shows a most revolting condition of affairs in that state. Tbe memorial comes from Washington county and is signed by ■three persons, two ot whom are southern-born and resident* of the county most of their live*, the other being a naturalized German who has resided in the county since 1871. All three of the memorial­ ists are republican in politic*. They say that "for this theirjonly crime they are now exiles from their home, having been compelled to leaze under serious threats of assassination, and to aban­ don their property or accept for it such prices a* were proffered tiiem.” This has been forced upon them as they say, on account of Jtbeir efforts to obtain a fair expression of sufierage at the last congressional elections in that state, on which occasion a perfect reign of terror existed in that county, caused by armed bands of white ruffians, who intimidated voters not in harmony with tbeir political views. They say, far­ ther, that every effort made by lawaoiding citizens to obtain redress for wrongs and security for thsir lives has been prevented by the murders of im­ portant witnesses, and by the farther With tbe preweut bull there ostenaibly to preserve order, *et- THISK OF IT. Mrs. John A. Logan, Heaven bless her for her loving heart and devotion to her husband, has already received more than $75,000 in cash from sympa­ thising friends in various part* of the country. We ars glad indeed that she is thus lifted above the want for means, but at the same time canuot help think­ ing that the life, strength and useful­ ness of her honest, humanity loving husband would have been greatly pro­ longed had his good friends helped him a little wh^n his life was such a strug­ gle to make his income meet his actual­ ly necessary expenses. He spent days days of hi* time and great sections of strength in the manual work of hunting for references and writing letters and articles that he might have hired done, or dictated to others, but for his inabil­ ity to obtain money to ’pay for such help. In order to hurry his new home into proper order, he did manual labor there to which he wa* unused, and thus Incited the rheumatism that was tlie active messenger that bore him away from a people that does not properly care for its benefactors. The life of John A. Logan was one continuous struggle to obtain means on which to live and honor the calls of his old army comrades for charity. Many a dollar begged from him by old army comrades have they spent in rum and tobacco while John A. Logan and his wife were needing tbe article* they ought to have had. Many the thought, the magic touch of his political power that enriched his friends, but few were they who m his life of struggle ever thought even to permit a piece of cake to the man who brought favors or to let a crumb fall within reach of his fam­ ily. Had John A. Logan devoted his time, energy and brain power to the accumu­ lation of wealth instead of honest pub­ lic service for a most niggardly and generally ungrateful public that de­ mands the cleanest service, he could have amassed fortunes by the score. Had he been dishonest, he could have roped in millions. But no, be wa* not that kind of a man. Millionaire* and monopolists laughed at him and in their offices and parlor* sneered at him, liecause in the current of depth to his thought he had not time or inclination to pose aa a dude in langnage. He was a great hearted, good hearted, honest hearted American. His great desire was to accomplish good for the public. In this work he was helped by bis devoted wife. Such women never love mediocre men. Show us a man who wins and hold* the love of a woman of tbe beautiful character of Mr*. John A. Logan and you will show us a man who in the grandeur of hi* inner temple stands in the sight of God and man like Saul among the prophet*. Mr*. Ixigan is a woman of rare womanly accom­ plishment*. She could get along with but little. If er sweetness of disposition; her brightness of manner*. Her comprehenmon of great things; her entire indisposition to the nastiness of gossip; her inborn determination to never meddle with tlie private affairs of hu­ manity a* do tattlers and goMip-mougore, all draw attention to her as a woman. She had a gift in the matter of fixing up and making a little go a great way in tbe line of service. She wa* loved for her dear, good, loving self and not because of the foliage of fashion would have been ao much better had his admirers helped her husband to supply bis natural wants while he waa in the harness of hairaasitude and thus prolonged hi* life and his usefulness, still it is gratifying to know that Li* friends have awakened and arc doing toward providing comforts for his wid­ ow and in lifting her up a little nearer to that Heaven where want for com­ forts is unknown. This country docs not use its well intontinned public servants aright. They are abused, envied, maligned, traduced, robbed and financially disem­ bowelled before they escape the torture here and pass on to spirit life.

The bills granting pensions to Mrs. Logan and Mrs. Blair, widow of General Frank Blair, wore defeated in tho Hous© Com­ mittee on Invalid Pensions, says a Washington dispatch. Tlie members were arrayed on party lines—seven Democrat- voting against and five Republicans in favor of the bills.

The only precedents for parsing such bills are found in toe cases of tho widows aud families of Ad­ miral Farragut, Generals Hancock, Thomas, and Grant, and the majority of too committee believe it would bo bad policy to follow these precedents, in view of tho fact that there are about one hnn.ired surviving widows of offi­ cers who would then bo entitled to penaiona who are now excluded by too general law.

Wilson was hanged in the jail­ yard her*, on Thursday, for the murder ot Anthony W. Dealy, m February, 1885, in Montgomery County, near the Philadelphia city line. Wilson read a speech from .the scaffold. He confessed his guilt, and said his death in expiation of the aim© should be a warning to all persons who had become victims to strong drink. Hix body was cut down and handed over to a physician to whom ho had willed iL _ . The history of tho crime for which John M. Wilson paid tho extreme penalty, and the manner of hb conviction, are probably without parallel in tho annals of criminal history. But for a confession, which the murderer afterward denied, the death of Anthony Dealy would never have been ac­ counted for, and probably another and an innocent man would hare been banged for another crime which is most curiously in­ terwove n with that for which Wilson suf­ fered. In October, 1885, Frederick Stahl, a butcher who worked for Albert Dieterio at No. 305 Moore street, Philadelphia, ruddeuly dropped out of right. He had lived with Adolph Scheunnger, a saloon­ keeper, at No. 307 Vine street, with whom bo had deposited $700 for safe-keeping. Weeks passed, and Stahl was noi heard fromThen Scheuringer paid that Stahl had been mur­ dered. and accused Albert Dieterle (who owed Stahl money) of the crime. Id tho following March the headless nnd dis­ membered trunk of a human being was found floating in the Wiuuihickon Creek, in Fairmount Park. A further search was made, and one leg and one arm were found; Scheuringer'a charge that Dieterle had murdered hb employe was renewed, and when at the inquest the body wm identified as that of Stahl, Dieterle was arrested. On Sunday, Ort. 4, 1885. a peculiar­ looking man walked into tbe West Twelfth Street Station in Chicago, and said that ho was a murderer. He said he had killed a man named Anthony Dealy near PhiladelEhia in January, and after sewing the body i sacks had thrown it In the Wireahickon Creek. Tbe next day ho repeated the tune story, but in more detail. He said he had been employed by ono Anthony Dealy for several months on a farm near Philadel­ phia. He quarreled with Dealy about $30 which waa due him, and then, picking up a cleaver, struck the man on the head, kill­ ing him instantly. He then cut off the victim’s head and hid it between two feather-beds, drugged flio body to tho barn, and, cutting off the legs emd arms, hid them in a feed-box. Then be went to the creek sad relented a place in which to throw the disserted body. That night ho put the head in a bag along with a lot of stonvs. Tbe body and limbs were placed in other sacks, and, with the aid of a sleigh and horse, Wilson took hb ghastly load to the place selected and threw it overboard. He then went to Philadelphia, nnd, after spending hb money for mink, returned to the bouse and set it on fire. It was en­ tirely destroyed, and hesaid Dealy's family supposed he was burned up in iL The trial, which was begun March 8 last, lasted several days and was very sensa­ tional in its character. Stahl’s brother, hb friend, Sdheuringer, and others who knew Stahl well still swore that the body found in the river was that of the musing butcher. A score of others swore that it was ihat of Anthony Dealy. They related the burning of the house and the disappearance of Wil­ son, who was known to them a* "Sailor Jack.” the day of the fire, and when tbe police found the watch which bad belonged to Dealy and proved that it bad been taken from W ilson while drunk a few days after tbe fire tbe evidence was complete. Con­ viction quickly followed. ■ Tbe whereabouts of Frederick Stahl are still a mystery. The reoemblance of the two men, Stahl and Dealy, was remark­ able. They wore tbe same size hat, both were left-handed, both hnd their right shoulders higher than tho left, both were of medium height, both bad scars on the right hand, both had small mustaches, red hair, and bald spots on the top of their heads.

How is it that they have succeeded in saving the people so many thousands ol dollars In the short time that they have been doing busineM? _ . .... These questions and hundreds of others of a like nature are asked us every day. We cannot give all tbe reasons, but some of the more important are these: That they sell all goods Cor 4'mill, keep track of their sales, profits and expense*, buy good* in immense quantities, thereby saving a good percentasre in tho first cost, beside* a percentage in freight, drayage, and other neces­ sary expenses. . , We sell more of that famous 33 cent tea (present price 39 cents) than is sold of all other kinds by all tbe other dealers in Vermont­ ville. We sell more sugar, more crackers, more spices, more of all the leading Groceriea than is sold by all other dealers together. If any person doubts this we will gladly show up bills and freight bills in proof of what we say. In buying Dry Goods we get a large trade discount, in addition to our regular cash discount, that in many cases pays all the expense of handling. In a small bill of dress goods just bought we made a saving of nearly fifty dollars by taking a larger iiuantity than any other dealer in this section could handle. In Cloth­ ing, Boots. Shot*, etc., the saving in many cases is even greater. Some people seem to think that we are uttering them baits— 'tis not so. . We want every customer to buy all he wants. We had rather sell a barrel of sugar than ten pounds. We will always make a les* price on a chest of tea than on a small quantity. We make a little on everything. The result is. we save our customera *J0 per cent on sugar, 40 per cent on tea. 75 per cent on apices. 40 per cent on crackers, 80 to 50 per cent on dry goods and dress goods, as much or more ou clothing, boots and shoes, and all the time make a little money ourselves.

Usually a Now York audience, salsotod from the “upper ten thousand," is not vw demonstrative— «S{*ecially over a new aspirant far its appre­ ciation and fnvoni. But on the occasion of the debut of Miss Alta Alwyn as a public singer, New York society forgot itself. The new song-bird liccame a favorite before •be had finished her first number— a diffi­ cult “show-piece* in Italian—and when, for an encore, she gave, with pathos and richness of tone, the tender and familiar “8wanes River," the great audience rose ' 3R maaae and cheen-d to the echo, while oo»ly bouquets fell in profusion at tbo feet of the young artisi. And Alta Alwyn wob hapi-*'. supremely happy. Such a night, such n succeui as this, LuJ been her one cherished dream duriug four long years of incessant toil and study. Alta Alwyn was not in love—hncl never been in love, and was a total stranger to Dan Cupid and his tricks. Tho ruling passion of her young life had been ambi­ tion: a desire to excel in her chosen pro­ fession. Now that the first step on the rood to tunc had been taken, now that she found, at the very outset, all the wealth and fash­ ion of wealth and fashion's metropolis at her feet, she was happy. Two other persons in that brilliant o» sembly were also elated at Alta Alwyn's success. One of these was her tutor and maaager, Signor Rivera; tbe other was Mr. Richard Cameron, a wealthy young New York banker. Tho cause for Signor Ri­ vera's satisfaction is obvious; Dick Cameron’s udubuaIW bright eye and flushed cheek will require some explanation.

Come, Mr. Cameron. tho sum I have mentioned is a mere bagatel'c to von." Now Richard Cameron was, decidedly, very much in love; still, ho was notsoeutirely lost to things terrestrial but that he knew full well that this was a most unique and extraordinary offer. He certainly wanted Alta Alwyn for his wife, and to attain that end would gladly expend twice seven’y-fivo thousand dollars. But were Rivera's proposals honorable, were they worthy his consideration? Any­ way, how could Rivera guarantee to bring his plans to a successful issue, and shoula a man who would break a contract with a woman be trusted in any degree? All these thoughts passed, one after another, through Cameron's brain. “Well, Mr. Cameron?" urged the signor. “I do not quite see through your scheme, signor,"said the young man. * “1 will bo frank with you," resumed Rivera. “It is clearly understood between us that I want cash and you want tho lady. If my proposition is accepted, well; if not, well. Only, no riding thu high hon»e—no strong expresHions of indigna­ t on—nothing of that kind, please, or I stop right here." “Go on," said Cameron, as tho Italian paused for a moment. “1 flatter myself that I have ‘made' Alta Alwyn as an artist; also, that I understand her nature thoroughly. As I have made her professional reputation, so I can un­ make it—I can blast it. If I know any­ thing of my pupil, she will not be able to lake failure and disappointment very well. When it comes she will turn to you. and not until then. If necessary I will try something more. I will damage her pri­ vate reputation; I will kill her socially; I will------ " “Stop!" exclaimed Cameron. "I do not wish to hear any more. But I must have that girl. 1 will give you seventy—no, I will give you eighty thousand dollars now, frr a present, to help you out of your diffi­ culties—a present, yon understand, without regard to Mies Alwyn—I cannot make money bargains on her account—I give you this as a present. Of oouree. if you can help me in any way, do so. * But bo care­ ful. Call to-morrow, and you can have the monev.” When the manager had gone, Cameron tried to soothe his conscience. But think as ho would, try to persuade himself ns he might, he could not drive from his brain the knowledge that he bad agreed to pay money to an unscrupulous man for the purpose of destroying a woman's fame, and. perchance, her good name. On tbe morning after tho concert, Miss Alwyn «t alone iu her morning room. The pretty apartment was filled with the rich perfume from a thousand roses—the offer­ ings of tho previous evening—while a side table was literally stacked with notes con­ taining congratulations and invitations from groat people, anxious tn cultivate the acquaintance of this rising star. Alta Alwyn was a very beautiful woman; indeed, one word alone is fitting to prop­ erly describe her charming appearance. She was magnificent. With youth, beauty, talent, and assured •access, life just then seemed all sunshine to her. and the reverie in which she in­ dulged was a very pleasant one. In tho midst of it a servant announced “Mr. Cam­ eron." A slight shadow darkened the fair artist's brow for a mbment Only for a moment, however, for neither annoyance nor excessive pleasure were discernible in her countenance, as with cool indifference she hade her caller “good-morning." “I suppose," said Mr. Cameron, who was a peculiarly handsome man, perhaps thirty years of age, “I nupposo congratu­ lations are in order, Alta—only congrat­ ulations would bo idle, common-place words coming froth me. You know how more than pleased I am at your success, viewed merely as a success; and then there is something else.” Miss Alwyn toyed v-ith a rose, but an­ swered nothing. “Alta,* continued Dick Cameron, “three years ago I loved you—love you now. Three years ago I wished to make you my wife, out you refused and bode me wait until the wish of your life, the desire to shine as a successful singer, should become an ac­ complished fact. Your wish ia now ful­ filled; your success is greater than you could ever have dreamed it would be; and now I am come to claim your promise. Wril you keep it, Alta?" Miss Alwyn's eyes drooped, and she con­ tinued to pluck tbe petals irom tho lovely rose in her band. Suddenly sho raised hex eyes and addressed her companion.

She had no near friend*, and while her heart had held naugut but ambition she had not felt their need. Now she yearned for some one in whom she could confide, and the only one of whom she thought was Dick Cameron. Yet. when Dick Cameron came to her in her loneliness and once more offered bis hand, she refused him. Not that ahe had the faintest suspicion of Cameron's part in Rivera’s plot against herself—or, indeed, of the plot itself. For she had felt so •<.ny for Rivera at the loss he must neces­ sarily (as she sup|>oscd) suffer on account of her failure, that ahe pressed upon him Thai was all.

Now, sir, the average person trims off a thirty-second of an inch of noil from each finger every week, or three inches a year. The average of human life the world over is 40 Sears. Look at that, sir! Ten feet of nger-nail for each linger—around200 from the twenty fingers and toes. Well, sir. there ere l.ftXl.OOO.GOJ people in this world, and altogether they waste, on an average, 800,000,000 feet, or 56,­ 818 1-5 miles of finger-nail in a genera­ tion. Why, air, that is sufficient to reach around the earth and still leave nearly 10,000 miles to do our scratch­ ing with.

Philetus Sawyer was born in Whiting, Addison County, Vt., Sent 22, 1816. His father was a farmer ana blacksmith and lived at a time nnd in a region where those employments offered but little return. Whep a mere child his father removed to Essex County, New York, where the com­ ing Senator's childhood and youth were spent amon< tbe mountains and forests of the Adirondacks. His early life, like that of mo-t of tbe dwellers in that region, was one of manual labor, with omy the opportunities for education that the limited resources of tho common schools nt that time presented. At the age of 17 Philetus Sawyer bought his time for 9100 from his father and started out in­ to the world alone. Ho was so Kuecessful in his efforts that at the a?e of 31 be bad saved $2,000, and with this he was enabled to seek a more profitable field in Wiscon­ sin for his future efforts. He settled on a farm in Rosendale Township in Fond du Lac County. After two year* of farming with indifferent success be turned his atten­ tion to his old calling, that of “logging," and be removed to tbe then village of Al­ goma, now the city of Oshkosh.

Natural Selection in Literature. One of tho minor regreta which tho observer of contemporary literature must feel in view of tho fact that he will probably not be olive a hundred years hence is that he cannot know what is to become of all the estimable books which the press is now pouring ouL If ha is an author, he knows that his own books must at least perish in the second- glacial epoch; and ho can­ not help tho foreboding that much be­ sides which ia excellent, and much which is beautiful, will be lost before that time in the mere'excess of beautyand excellence. Tho greptest excel­ lence and the greatest beauty aro still, perhaps, as rare as in the past, but we think that tho literary average ia in some ways higher than ever it was. Moro honest aud faithful and skillful work is dona, and more of it. The penetrating spirit of democracy has found its expression in tho very quality of literature; the old oligarchic repub­ lic of letters is passing; already wo have glimpses of the Commune. If tho reader has noted tho optimistic tone of these essays ho will conceive that wo are not wholly dismayed st tho prospect, and that we find a con­ solation in recognizing what seems good now, when the difficult business of forecasting ita future perploxes and saddens. Our chief concern is that we cannot recognize all tho good tberi> »r in all the l>ooks that oomo to us; bn* if tho public will keep our secret, we w'll confess that we believo this will have very little to do with their destiny. Tho fittest, in literature as in every­ thing else, will survive, as it has al­ ways done; and for all our confident air in saying this is well and that is ill, we understand perfectly that wo aro not dealing final doom. We aro saying what our experience of literature and of lifo has persuaded us is tho truth: but these books are also tho exproasion of literature and of life, end wo will confess again, if again tbo public will keep our secret, that sometimes the crudest exp ession in that Bort seems better than the finest comment upon it. We have sometimes suspected that more thinking, more feeling certainly, goes to tho creation of a poor novel than to the production of a brilliant criticism; and if any novel of our time fails to live a hundred years, will any censure of .it live? Who cun enduro to read old raviews ? One can hardly road them if they are in praise of one’s own books. It ia not, then, with a wholly impersonal pang, dearly beloved brother immortals, that we sit here in our study sorrowfully regard­ ing your multitude, and misgiving which of you shall survive. You cannbt all, that is certain; and more and more pensively we perceive that it is not absolutely for us to say which; bnt to use what patience we may if the poets, the historians, tho novelists, the essayists, are not able to keep their number within bounds. It is vain, at any rate, to preach Malthusianism to them, and we willingly relinquish to the reader the problem of the future, if, as seems very likely, they should multiply rather’ than decrease. It is already quite impossible to do more than touch contemporary literature at a few points, to spesk of what seems characteristic, or whst seems promis­ ing; but tbe outhor neglected or over­ looked need not despair for that rea­ son, if ho will reflect that criticism can neither make nor unmake authors; that there have not been greater books since criticism became an art than there were before; that, id fact, the greatest books seem to have come much earlier.—IF.

I saw an old friend and war comrade, Ned W., of Third Vermont Battery and realized ho bad stopped me, and there was no danger from falling buildings or cable cars. A'ter exchanging greetings, and all in­ quiries answered, Ned remarked: “I have seen Al------ , aud, by the way. do you re­ member what a fix he got me into in front of Petersburg, in 1864,? A long time ago, but it comes back to me very forcibly. No? Well, it was »bis wjw: “I often helped Captain Start and Lieu­ tenant Phillipes with pay rolls-and other accounts, being a schoolmate and cadet with Phillipes. I was known and trusted, and treated as a companion, and escaped many rough knocks aud hardships that otherwise 1 would have had to endure. “Al was a rough and readv kind of it felbrave and generous. He was admired I by Phillipes for his readiness nt all times, and his soldierly deportment. I think Al respected tbe ofljeers, especially tho Lieu­ tenant, as tbe finest men ho ever met. With all bis soldierly ways nnd courage he had but few true friends. 1 was one that faded to appreciate him. There were strange winks and knowing looks, and whisperings that Al had often rubbed the dead U]k>u the battle-field. After a battle had been fought he was seen to be absent from his tent at night, and was known .to-have watches, rings, money, etc. Nothing was definitely or positively known, but you know soldiers, judging from appearances, or instinct, as to a man's calibea are seldom wrong. So in this case; we simply gue«ed, and did not care to be very familiar or intimate. Al was keen and shrewd. When wo were brigaded with General Feraro's negroes he was very indignant, but took his revenge out by sell­ ing vial- of whisky to the colored boys nt $1 per bottle, thereby making about'$16 per canteen. Thia be did al! summer, making about $380.* By telling you these things you get nu insight into tbe man's character, nnd you can make your own iuferenccs us to the following: “One afternoon 1 waa very busy copying my reports when Al called aud told me of a funny little adventure he had had that day, eud.ng by saying be had a plug bat and linen duster m would give m -. 'and, say, Ned. let's fool Start by disguising as on escaped Union man from Petersburg. You go up about six o'clock and fool them. This! did, nnd had a hearty laugh on the jovial Captain. I remained with him till about eight, and waa standing at his tent front, saying gco;l night, when I was sud­ denly pounced upon by three men, who ex­ claimed: 'Here ho is! Here's tho thief!' and tbe next moment tho Marshal laid his | hand npon me and arrested me. “ ‘For what?' I demanded. “ 'Oh, here’s the sutler; he'll tell you.’ “All our officers had come out and made inquiries as to the cause. Tbe sutler came up. and, with many oaths and hard names, tioner take out u very Logo package which he thought must contain many thousand dollars, he brought over to the window a bunch of >1,(100 and $>00 bills. As he ruined his eyes ho received a dose of dust iu them, nnd the package was siiaAatl from his hands. Although blindedwpe yelled the Alarm. Instant chase.was given; th-o robber was followed closely, and dodged in and out of streets nnd alleys. He disappeared in a short alley leading into Pennsylvania avenue. When the pur­ suers turned tho corner and entered the alley they perceived tkc thief coolly step mound the further corner into tbo avenue. Clerks, managers and policemen rushed along and reached the avenue, and, behold! there stood tbe thief, in.plug hat and linen duster, coolly looking at tbe jewelry dis­ played in the window. They seized' him, and, to tbeir surprise, he was black as tho ace ot spades, nnd was aimed with a boot­ blank's outfit. After s good deal of ques­ tioning they found that be had not been away from that comer ten minutes during tbe whole day, and bad for threw davn i>ecn constantly on duty nt that place. This was swurii to by the occupants of tbe stere, and several others, and no ouestioning elicited any information from him which ‘throw any light ns to the robbery. They had been somehow outwitted; tho white man in plug hat and duster had completely vanished. “The negro said ho 'be dog gon if he knowed anything 'bout do buncss. Three or fore days ago a white man asked me to hold* a hat and duster till he cum back. I waited two days, and no pusson called for dem, so I put on do bat Then .de white man cum snd luff nt me. I thot I’so dono gon for de piece station, but snnh be gib mo five dollars if I would stand here and wear the clothes till Saturday, and I’se at.d evidently unconscious of danger. I did not disturb him, m I wanted the glory of the find blood for the regiment. Slipping bock, 1 concluded my chief was near enough; I aimed carefully, knowing that tbe Hush of a gun makes tho darkness doubly dark, and before I could see to shoot again ho might run in on mo if I let him get too close. . At tho crack of my gun, hero came the boys over the stockade by the cart-tongue route, at least as many as could until it broke, which added some to the racket. . “Where ore thov?" “What to it?" “Look out!" “Oh. I've got him!" “First blood for-Little Gabo!" And sure enough, at about iixty yards' distance he was lying, at loss! wounded. I had all I could do to •keep the boys back, telling them to not all’ rush down at once and leave the camp un­ guarded, but if they should see a move to shoot. I nover shall forget lhe yell that followed, breaking on the night air as if ten thou­ sand red demons hod broken cover to pounce upon our backs. Looking around, hero came our host with his “Sacree! dan­ der dong! Ze foal soger! Ze broke my wahgin tong and kill all my mare' pig! I put him in zo gad hose, sacree!” Now, to say I was mad would be drawing it mild. The idea of a half-breed French­ . man briugidg an old sow sway out there on the plains to make a fool of me was cruel, to sav tbe least. Scared old veteran os I am, 1 would not endure again tbe tortures of .that half hour for all tbe plunder taken from the train, the murder of tha guardians of which we were trying to avenge. ■ We afterward learned the particulars of that melancholy massacre were: Scene first: An old squaw shooting catfish. Scene second: Ono lone wagon drawn by two mules, driven by two men evidently geting away from the draft, to about to cross the river, when n glancing arrow from the boa* of the squaw strikes tho wagon-bed with a dull thud. It was discovered immediately by one of the men. It Was tbe work of a moment to cut those m^TBiv4po»o, nnd ityrheir excitement one want north. _ila» other south, with his distojrted imagination at work, until, when he paired at Camp Cook, there were fifty­ seven wagons, and the mouth of James Bivcr was in danger of being choked up with the mutilated remains of murdered men, women, and children. I remember of thinking at the time how inadequate our number would be to burv the dead and nt the same time keep back the wild Dakotas of the North. But as the sequel proved wo were ample. Perhaps one thing will surprise you, that on our return my name was. not called on dress parade, nnd I publicly presented with a commission bearing a steel engraving in the corner of a mare pig, but I um sorry to "Al rejoined us that night.

It was tho 7th of May, 1 to>3, when Com­ pany A, Sixth Iowa Cavalry, was all ex­ citement over the news of a massacre on James River, Dakota, of :i train of immi­ grants. After what seemed to ns the loss of valuable lime, a detail of thirty mon was made, with instructions to bring in as many bends ax possible, a- a warning to the red devils that we had arrived. We had full permission from the War Department to wipe, ns it were, from the face of the earth all the bauds of Walking Elk, Tall Toad nnd Iron Blanket. Il was our first experience, and lhe way we put that seventy-three miles behind us would make any old soldier believe that wbnt we lucked iu judgment we made up in zeal. Our intentions were to cut off any small parties that would be liable to "carry the news to Mary," us we preferred to wh p them in detail. Our first alarm was can ed by that com­ mon sight on the prairies, a mirage, which to our imaginations assumed the semblance of a party panoplied for the war path. This caused us a Ion,'. hard ride, nnd proved, when we camo in sight of the objects caus­ ing the mirage, to be an inoffensive herd of antelope. This, however, had a good effect, for it brought us to a realization of the fact that our hearts would not choke us if they did get up into our mouths, ami also that we were still ou horseback, a fact I very much doubt any of us was aware of while making the charge. After some more halls and “what are they**," and before tbe Bun had gone to bed by nt least an Lour, we arrived near tho scene of the awful tragedy. Of course, not knowing bow strongly the enemy might be intrenched, we held a council of war and concluded to investigate a smoke Been half a mile or more to our left It took some time to determine, ns we were on hostile ground; however, it proved to be a small stockade occupied by a half-breed, his squaw, nnd an Hudson Bay Fur Company’s cart, the latter a curiosity, made up of raw hide, two short logs for wheela, and a tongue, all out of pro|>ortion to 'he balance of tbe craft.

He served as a private soldier in tho battle of Bull Run, and th>-n organized the Thirtyfirst Illinois Volunteers. He won a Brig­ adier’s star at Fort Donelson, and was soon promoted to Major General. His heroism at tbe battie of Atlanta gave him command of the Army of the Tennessee, but, as he was not a graduate of West Point, he was superseded bv General Howard. He was first elected Senator from Illinois in 1871, and in 1884 was the Republican nominee for Vice President. The Illinois Legisla­ ture in 1885 again elected him to tho Senate, after n deadlock of some weeks. He was married, in 1855, to Miss Mary Cunning­ ham, of Shawneetown. Their ron was a cadet at West Point; their daughter is the wife of Paymaster Tucker, of the army. Tho General owned a homo in Chicago nnd n farm iu Southern Illinois. He died, of rheumatism, at Washington, Dec. 26 last. A Dreaded General. Stonewall Jackson was one of tho niostto-be-drended officers of the Confederate army. He was a tower of strength to tbe enemies of our country. The army of tho Potomac feared Jackson more than it did any other one General in the Comederate service.

Then iu August, 1862, be swept around Pope's right, reached Manassas Junction, and destroyed immense quantities of Govern­ ment stores, and so demoralized Pope and McDowell that they made a botch of tbe second Bull Run campaign. Then in tho Maryland campaign of September of the some year, he dashed in and captured Harper's Ferry, with iu immense stores and eleven or twelve thousand prisoners, and winged his way to Antietam in time to save Lee from utter annihilation. At C'hkncellorsvillo he crept around and took the Eleventh Corps by surprise, thus ren­ dering Hooker's movement against Lee a total failure. He was a great man and a great General, and, as already stated, was a terror to the L’nion army, yet it may be said with perfect safety that there was a feeling of real sorrow in tbe hearts of all true men in the Union army when they heard that Stonewall Jackson had been fa­ tally wounded at ChancellorsviUe in May, 1883. The whole army would have been delighted to hear that Stonewall was so thoroughly disabled that he would never again enter the field, or again take part in the war against tbe country.

Goodwin & Co NASHVILLE la *a Incorporated village of 1,500 Inhabitant*, tocated on the Grand Rapid* branch of the M. C. R- R., midway between Jackson and Grand Rapids. The “mother earth'* upon which Naahville stand*, prevlou* to 1869 was an almost unbroken forest. The advent of the kun bone during the latter part of that year, called for development In this part of the foot­ stool, and Nashville was born. The village's growth hw not been rapid, but steady and per. amaent. Today its business may be briefly summarised as follows: Two grain elevators, two grist mill*, one saw mill, two furniture taetorie*, one machine *bJp, one wool carding aad spinning factory, one planing mill, one creamery, one fruit evaporator, one feed min, one wood-working manufactory, four churches, one opera bouse, a graded school,one ■•■■paper, a goodly number ot mercantile e* tabllshmentt, and the u*ual number of shop*, •te. It Is surrounded by as fine an agricultural Rstrict as there is in the state. In brief, it is a wide-awake, thrifty village; noted for Ito pro* gmslvc buriness men, pretty women, fine ell. ■sate and good fishing.

Ten members, on probation, were also taken into full membership, and two by letter. Next Sunday morning a number of children under five years of age will undergo the baptismal service, and it ia expect­ ed that several more persons will be­ come meml>erH under probation. At the Congregational church thirtyi six persons were voted in as members, -thirty-two «f whom received the right hand of fellowship. Seventeen persons were baptised by sprinkling — the remainder having boon previously baptised, excepting a few who prefer­ red immersion. Rev. Van Auken, at the earnest solicitation of the Congregationalists, consented to remain with us another week—Rev. Gnnnell going as his substitute to Freeport.

There have been many groves planted in various parts of the State. There is a grove of four .acres in Wilkes County, in which the trees have attained a height of twentyfive feet, and from which the owner has netted largely the last season. In 1878, Colonel J. F. Jones, of Troupe County, planted the seed, and has made three crops from the trees. When planted from the seed tho tree will grow and be productive in five years. The nut drops readily upon shaking the tree, and require* no care save that of picking. While the pecan tree grows readily upon hillsides, and rocky or level lands, yet it thrives best on low­ lands, it being a swamp growth. The cultivated nut is much finer than that found in the swamps, and always finds « ready market. Db. Wr. H. Gray, of West Falls, Md., the other day visited Baltimore and swore to an affidavit before Magis­ trate James H. Busan t to the effect that he had invented a machine that ran perpetually. It derives its motion from the attraction of gravitation, by placing a mechanical movement on the wheel in such a way that the descend­ ing side is the heaviest. By the force of ita action it keeps the wheel steadily in motion. The wheel is twenty-six inches in diameter by eight inches in thickness, and is mounted on a wooden frame resembling a grindstone frame. The wheel is keyed to a steel axle, ' which rests on brass bearing*. The motion is obtained by movable weights inclosed within the wheel. The in­ ventor has had one of the machines at his bouse working steadily for the past three months. He believes that he has at last discovered perpetual motion.

Jlsto, tbslr UttiowfaUs: Circumstantial Evidence. , CHAPTERL Daring the spring of 1857,1 had occasion to Stop J or several weeks in a amnll town «• the Mississippi. It wav at a date when tbe fever for land speculation was at its baight. There were some dozen or fifteen boarders at tbe same hotel in which I was •topping, most of them engaged in the traffic of real estate in and around that im■wdiate vicinity. It was confidently pre­ dicted that the place was soon to become a thriving city, nnd it was a curious study to the shrewd observer to watch the monomers of this class of genteel swindlers, as they spread their webs nnd meshes to catch the smwary victims. It was amu-dug to wit■who was suspected of having money nnd a • predisposition for speculation. He was tnstanily beset by a swarm of anxious friends, ready to show him advantageous lots, and prove to him that noth­ ing but their own pecuniary embarrass­ ments could induce them to jmrt with them. A fat old fellow, of aristocratic appear­ ance, with a gold-headed cano and double row. of chins, who occasionally changes tcn-dollar bills for his accomplices when any new customer is around, being very careful at the same time to display a large number of cleverly executed one-thousand dollar counterfeits, is pointed out as a mammoth speculator, who is ready to buy up eveiything, but never willing, in fact, to sell anything, unless be can double or treble his money. Their asking price to the new-comer is always the standing offer they have rewired from him, but they hare entered into n combination nnd are deter­ mined not to sell to him, unless he will pay them double what they would think of ask­ inc any one else. Certain lots belonging to Old Hunks and always adjoining their own are then pointed ont to them, and they are adrised before closing the bargain to apply to Old Hunks himself, nnd satisfy themselves of the truth of tho assertion. Of course the aristocratic old geutleman Dever thinks of selling for less than double the price affixed to some adjoining lot equally available; assures them that he is Dot at all anxious to sell; that the ploce is destined to become a city, and that before the expiration of twelve months those very lots will advance five hundred percent,, •nd then only keep pace with the prospect­ ive growth of tbe place. He always wears a white neck-tie, talks wisely about the future growth 0f the city, ns though it were already an established fact—already incor­ porated, a board of officers appointed, aud himself mayor—sees the star very distinctly, where only’ tho most sanguine have dis­ covered the nebula; and finally succeeds in effrctuully earthing the game for the ac­ complished rascal who has first started it Such was the exact state of speculative affairs in the little town of Greenboro at the date of my arrival. As to the town it­ self, it occupied a very pleasant sight, over­ looking the river, and contained, inde­ pendently of the hotel at which we were •topping; some eight or ten frame houses, ana a few temporary shanties which were to servo till better dwellings could be erected for those who had been swindled into the purchase of lots for actual settle­ ment. I hod been in Greenboro about a week, when a gentleman named Nixon booked himself for a few days at the Irving Honse. Judging from his appearance, he was a man well-to-do in tho world, nud not far from sixty years of age. It was soon noised about that he waa iu possession of a mint of money, so that he naturally became an object of great interest to those disinter­ ested gentlemen who had previously oombinod against the old gentleman who talked •o sanguinely about the city of Greenboro, and was now trying to buy up and monop­ olise every thing. But Mr. Nixon did not aeem to care much about entering into land •peculations.

As a physical being, man must necessa­ rily look to the needs of the body. He must hove food and raiment nnd shelter. These near-needs, as they may be called, arc always present; they begin with the cradlh; they journey all along the way of life, and they end only in the grave. But in his efforts to provide for these bodily needs man haa learned two things: he has learned the value of associate effort and the power of mind. Alone, man is weak; the individual could hardly protect himself against the wild beasts; ho would find it difficult to provide tho simplest com­ forts of life. Alone, a mon would have to to do all kinds of work, to be his own farmer aud builder and machinist, would have to mnkc his own clothes and to cook his own food.

And thus it is that, in the plan of things, life becomes a moral culture, n trans actional activity of the higher powers of the soul. It thus appears that the social order nat­ urally and almost necessarily becomes a vast system of culture, a school of one kind or another to which ail must go, not only in youin but through the later yearn of life.

There ore hundreds of instances where iadiea beyond tbe age of fifty, whose earlier lives ware necessarily occupied and filled up with hard work and tbe cares of a growing family, uro now studying painting or music, or reading the higher forms of literature, and some are even studying German or French. The method of instruction generally pur­ sued in ths universities of Europe is by lectures, and this form of teaching and learning has been adopted in many of the social circles of our own country. And so many and able are the papers thus pre­ sented, that if one could uttmd all the societies and dubs in a city like Chicago, it would be almost equal to a cosrae in a university. And then, added to these are the popular lectures in the many associa­ tions all over the country. The public Position for Throwing Under the New lecturer, if he be worthy to fill so noble RuUs. a place, is a great teacher; nnd in this way the people of the smaller villages even may ground, as it is from tho pressure of this at a light expense and no loss of time hear foot ou the ground, that he derives tbe thinkers and speakers of the day, power to give the last impetus to the ball the‘ in delivering it.

The double eodc, while it enabled him to attain greater speed in delivery- noceeaarily obliged him to sacrifice wcuruev of niiu and injury of catchers, besides placing tbe batsman m tho position of wing obliged to devote nearly all his attention to avoid l>eing severely hurt by being hit by the patched boll." “The changes as interpreted by yon will not seem to be severe on the pitchers who cling marly to tho old style of pitching wherein the arm is swung on a level with or below the hip. How about those who throw tho bull?" “The rule must be followed as exactly, whatever the stylo of swinging tho arm. The position it forces the thrower to take is not really any worse for him than for tho pitcher. He will stand squarely facing tho batsman, take one step forward with the ball in plain sight and let it go os he pleases. It will undoubtedly make his delivery more sure. . “The other important changes in the pitching rules introduce more costly penal­ ties for unfair wild pitching. In the first tlaee, the pitcher is now allowed to aend in nt fire unfair balls before be becomes liable to tho penalty of giving tbe batsman bis base on halls, and this penalty is increriMKl by adding tbe charge of a base-hit against the pitcher every time a base is given on balls. Then, too, every time the piteber bite the batsman with a pitched ball a base is given the batsman for the error. The same penalty, too, is incurred every time the pitciier commits a balk, and One of the Old StyIce. tho liability to balk in delivery is greatly increased under tho new rales. It will l>o seen, therefore, that the pitcher has now to guard against three costly errors in his method of delivery, viz.: those of sending tho batsman to hi* base on balls, for hit- ■ ting him with a pitched ball, and for mak­ ing a balk. This largely increased re­ sponsibility attached to the position, however, is offset ny an important advantage which tho new code grants to the pitcher, and that advantage lies in tho throwing oat of the code of the clause in the pitching tales which requires the pitcher to send In balls * high* or • low,’ as the liatsmxn chooses to call tor. A fair boll is designated, under the new code, as *a ball delivered by the pitcher while stand­ ing wholly within the linos and facing the batsman, and defined in section *2 of rule 1; the ball, so delivered, to puss over the home base, and not lower than tlie knee of the batsman, nor bigber than his shoulder.’ The designated class of ’high’ and ‘low* balls thrown out under tbe new code were not only a detriment to tho pitcher iu his effort to employ strategic skill in his method of delivery, but they were tbe moat difficult class of bolls for the umpire to judge cor­ rectly. and his errors of judgment in this respect were a fruitful«oanse of wrangling ana ’kicking* by pitchers and batsmen. Under the new code, therefore, a greater latitude is given tbe pitcher in this respect, as be is now only called upon to send in balls ‘not higher than tbe batsman’s shoul­ der, or lower tlinn his knee,* and every such ball is now a fair boll, provided, of course, that it at the same time passes over the home plate. This is one of the most im­ portant and radical changes made in tbe rules for some years past, and though it may bother a few batsmen at first, it will ultimately l»e of advantage to them. One benefit it yields is that of relieving the um­ pire of a very difficult part of his duties, while at tbe same time it affords, the pitch­ er greater facility for strategic skill in bis position. “In regard to tlie new rules of the new code, which refer to committing a ‘balk,’ tbe pitcher is far more circumscribed in his movements than be was lart year. Tho new code includes tbe American Associa­ tion rules of 1886. which are as follows: ’A balk is any motion made by the pitcher to deliver the ball to the bat without deliv­ ering it, and shall be held to include any and every accustomed motion with the hands, arms or feet, or position of the body assumed by the pitcher in his delivery ot the ball, and any motion calculated to* de­ ceive a base runner, except the ball be accidentally dropped; if the ball be held by the pit hcr so long os to delay the game unnecessarily,or uny motion to deliver tho ball, ot the delivery of tbe ball to tbe bat by tbe pitcher when any part of his person is ’upon ground outride the lines of bis position, including all pre­ liminary motions with tbe hands, arms, and feet* “Tbe only amendment introduced in the American rules by tbe new code is the clause: ’And any motion calculated to deceive a base runner.* It will be rcadilv aeon that stealing base* under thia rule will not be ns difficult aa it was under tbe ab­ surd ruling in vogue tho latter part of last Muschexbborck found that a human hair fifty-seven times thicker than a silkworm’s thread would support a weight of 2,0.39 grains, and a horse hair, severf times thicker than this, 7,970 grain*. �WAR REMINISCENCES.

Sheridan's battie of Winchester, fought September 19, 1864. Thtfto is some queer fate about the names that aro finally attached to great battles, in contrast with those that are first given them. The French ctesired to name the field of their great overthrow Mont Saint Jean, where in fact .the fighting was done; but history only knows it ns Waterloo, the name of a hamlet two miles off.

A warm sun tempered the cool autumn air; there was a peace and quiet in nature utterly opposed to the hur­ ricane of destruction that arose nt noon. man's designing, and n dreadful one. For two lull mouths two armies of up­ wards ot twenty-five thousand mon each had been moving about in the valley and in Marcland, with occasional skirmishes of cavalry and picket encounters, bat both avoiding a general engagement. Bat Sheridan wm now releas.-d from tbe order that had restrained him: ho was at liberty to fight if he chose, and he lost no time in bringing on a battle. Some battles came ou unexpectedly; but none of our army need hnve been in ignor­ ance, the night before this battle, as to wbnt the orders meant. Everything wm to more at three o'clock in the* morning; all tho trains were to go to the rear; all the sur­ geons to report to tbe medical director. Yet so long had tbe fight been coming on that there were many who did not realize that such orders m this could mean noth­ ing but a battle. * Our position wm at Berryville, some twelve miles east of Winchester. Secret and reliable information had made it known to General Sheridan that two divis­ ions ot Early's army were at Bunker Hill, twelve miles north of the main bodv, and this present movement wm mado with the expectation of crushing tho latter before the detached divisions could regain it. The plan almost succeeded; nothing but tbe unexpected delay that occurred in crossing the Opequan Creek, and the almost super­ human B]>eed made bv the Confederate divisions at Banker Hill to get back in time, when it‘Was discovered that Khiridan was moving, prevented the cutting up of Early in detail.

In the month of February, 1862. I, with several others of ths regiment, was on the way to join my command at Nashville, Tenn.

M ith brsatiutut unft end Hehi I know Sunday afternoon, Gertrude Foster, passing through the kitchen, found George Raymond, her father’s hired man, or, rather, hired boy, sitting ab­ stractedly bv the table. A closed book, the Bible, lay on it Gertrude glanced at it, and him. She was a pretty, kind-hearted yonng girl. •Don’t you want" a book to read, George?" she said. “Allie has a nice Sunday-school book, and she has gone reading it” George looked up doubtfully. He luid a high, white forehead, and large, serious blue e-es. “Is it a true story?" siad he. Gertrude laughed. ■ “Why, I don’t know. I don’t sup­ pose it is exactly. Few etoriea are ex­ actly true.” “I guess I don't want it then. Myown Sunday-school book wasn’t.” “Why, George Haymond, what an idea! Of course you don’t expect a story to be true—that is, just true. Why, people wouldn't write them so." “I don’t care," said George, stoutly, “I don’t-want to read s story that isn't true. I don’t like it. Tho Bible’s true, anyhow. I’m going to stick to that, if I can't find anything else." Gertrude laughed again at George’s rather equivocal speech. "Well, you’re safe about the Bible, I guess." said she. She went in and rtold her mother about George and his trne story. The boy bad been in the family only about a week then, and thov were just getting an insight into his character. None of them could have told just how it came to psss, but in tho course of a few months they had a nickname for him— "Exact Truth.” Of course, the boy never was addressed in that way, but it was—“Whore is Exact Truth ?”’“Tell Exact Truth to put in tho horses"— among the family. All of thorn were sincerely good peo­ ple, and had a profound respect and love for truth; but there was some­ thing in George’s firm adherence to it which was certainly so unusual as to bo almost omusing. Not ono book would ho look at which was not pro­ nounced true by reliable judges. This waa undoubtedly much to tho boy’s benefit, for thus he 1 on'med himself to a very solid and select course of read­ ing. including mostly history and tho Bible, and some few books of travel. Fiction ho eschewed almost entirely. A boy who would not read < story be­ cause it was not true was an anomaly. His regard for tho truth served to make him quite oblivious to everything o'.se, oven to his own personal advan­ tage. A strong instance of this ap­ peared on his introduction to tbe Fos­ ter house. It transpired that he had been employed by a gentleman in a neighboring village, and hail been dis­ charged. George told the story with­ out a reserve. “Dr. Emmons turned me off because I •lamed' the horse,” Arid he, looking square in Dr. Foster’s eyes. “I was careless driving down hill; didn’t hold bim up."/ Dr. Foster looked at him in surprise. “How do I know that yen won’t lame my horse in the same way ?’ he said. “Perhaps I shall." admitted George, “but I shall try not to." So far Dr. foster had had no reason to complain of his hired boy's services. He bad been remarkably conscientious and faithful about all his duties. Still, he was a boy, and a boy of fifteen who loved fnn and a good time just like other boys, and there had to be a little dip occasionally. On the first winter of George's stay with tho Fosters there was a good deal of excellent skut ng in the vicinity. George had skates, and there was noth­ ing he loved like skating. He could outdo all tbe other boys in the neigh­ borhood, and was very proud of his accomplishment One day, when the skating was at ita height. Dr. Foster tent George on an errand about a mile out of tbe village. “ Vou ll have to go on foot," said he, “and don’t go the hill road; go the other way, that’s shorter. I want you to be on hand when I get back from Keene with the horses. “Yes, sir," said George. 1 He took his beloved skates with bim. There might be some little stretches of ice on the way, and he could travel so much faster, he reasoned. He delivered the medicine os he had been instructed, and started home. A little below the house where he hod stopped, the road separated into two. One wm the road proper to the village, the other was a longer, almost unused route, the hill road. Just where tbe road diverged, ho met a boy whom be knew, who was emerging from the hill road, his skates dangling from his arm. “Hullo!” said the boy. “You’d bet­ ter go down this Way; it’s splendid skating." "Is it?" said George, doubtfully. “1 tell you ’tis. The road's one glare of ice all the way." George hesitated. There was the Doctor’s command. Still he had e good argument. Tbe reason for making it had been that he might reach L01 te soon, and oould he not outweigh tho extra distance by his extra speed on skates? What difference could it make? Finally hn started down the hill road. His conscience was retire.- clamorous, but he tried Dot to listen to it The skating wm excellent Tbe road was i ne beautiful atrip of smooth ice, and not cut at all.

Saturday morning during Justice Carsuey’s absence from bis office at Bay City, someliody left a package, which on being examined, revealed a human leg intact from the knee down, and portions of another leg.

John Austin McHale has sued for divo«cr in Anu Arbor. He married Har­ riet Bennett, aud she left him after three day* to go to Detroit on a visit. Afterward Robert Schirer and Belle Bennett were married, and McHale thought the bride looked like bis wife, and she had a gold watch exactly like his wife's, therefore be thinks she is his wife, though she refuses to ^recognize him. Hence the suit. A singular piece of carelelessuesM is reported from Chippewa township, Os­ ceola county. Id the family of a man named Whaley tbe hired girl was churning one day last wtek, when she accidentally broke a tumbler, the pieces falling into the cream. She removed all the fragments, a* she supposed, and used die buttermilk in making biscuits, and the result is that a sod of the house­ hold is in bad shape aud is liable to die. Last Saturday evening a Port Huron young man—presumably of good fami­ ly, as hie name is carefully concealed by the local papers—went to his home with articles of separation, signed by himself, and demanded that his wife should also sign them and tiien “git.” The woman refused whereupon the Dice young man drew a revolver and tereatened to kill her unless she acce­ ded to his demand. She signed the doc­ ument under protest, anfi is now stop­ ping with less excitable relatives. Pnmus Greenhall, who recently died at tbe Jackson County bouse. claimed to ue 100 year* old. He said he was •old five times before he waa 50, tbe laat time being in 1883—or, as he ex­ pressed it, “de yeah de stabs fell.” Primus enjoyed telling how everybody was frightened because of tbe meteoric •bower, “when it come midnight at Doan. and we thought the Lawd was eomin' for suah. He escaped by the underground railroad, and located in Jackson county before the Michigan Central was completed to that section. Dr. Donald Maclean, who recently and collected a judgment of against the Detroit Evening S. Axtell, of near "*Dnu»o/l said, ‘but I don't like tha idea.' “Wdl. tbe long and short of it waa, we decided u> skip. I modi my ar­ rangements about the property as you know, and we slid out ooe Saturday night. We never stopped till we got away out here. ’ Il waa <>n the frontier then, and bless yonr soul, the war nevrr bothered us. We never saw a soldier.” "But,” said I, “didn’t you find out ver* soon that your fears were without f4hBd«tionT' ^To,. <«ir; it was years and years, be­ fore I felt safe. fix fuct.it was some time after the war ended. I had began to accumulate property. My ranch was turning out well, and I had leisure to read books aud newspapers. You bet I looked up that treason business, and found what a monumental fool I had mrde of myself.” I leaned back in my chair and heart­ ily laughed. "Oh, you may laugh, said Dutton, but my ignorance was the making of me.” .. "You would have done well if you had remained iu Georgia,” I leplieii. "No, 1 wouldn’t. I’d stuck to Blue Rock, and perhaps been postmaster there yet-on a salan of $73 a year. Now 1 have a ranch worth >150,000. I have knocked about the world. I go to St. Louis aud New Orleans every year, and I ini beginning to enjoy lite. Come home with me and see. I live but 30 miles from here.” I hnd to decline the invitation, as I was going to leave the next day. "Yon can tell the Iwys.'if yon like.” said Jiiu at parting. “Some of those Blue Rock fellows are as green as I used to be. ahd I uou’t care what they may thiok_about it.

August Ganahatr, aged SO, a convict at the Jackson prison, has for some time been a sufferer from acute pleuri­ sy. from the effects of which a large abcess formed in the left lung. Ou the 2.3d of December last Dr. Williams, the prison physician, placed him under the intiUenre of ann-stheties and opened the walla of the chest at two points, through which he drew a large amount of pus from tbe lung. A rubber tube waa then inserted, pausing from one opening to the other, by which it was washed out, and the abceu is now closing, the lung expanding and'the patient is iu a fair way of recovery. ’Twa* midnight in the Valley City !

When the war broke out Jim Dutton waa the postmaster at Blue Rock He had held the position for a number of years, and no man iu the aetrlement stood higher. Jim's strong point was lift honesty. He had very little bookleaming, and wan ignorant of the ways of the world. Still, with the assistauce of his wife, a charming little woman, he succeded in managing the busineaa of tbe jxjatoftice in such a manner aa to give general satisfaction. While the new Confederate govern­ ment waa getting ita affair* in order, the old machinery organized under the United States authorities continued to run on. Thia waa a public necessity. as tbe postmasters could not all be remov­ ed in an instant, or be recommissioned. Aa a clever Georgian, though not a real strong Confederate Jun Dutton held on nnder the new regime and did his duty. But it waa only for a couple of weeks. One Monday morning the villagers found the poetoffice closed, and inves­ tigation disclosed the fact that Dutton and his witc had mysteriously disap­ peared. The money and accounts of the office turned out te be all right,and □obody could understand why Jim and his wife had slipped ofl-at night with­ out leaying a clue. It was ascertained that a day or two before tiieir depart­ ure the postmaster had mortgaged his cottage and furniture for almost their full value as security for a loan which he had obtained. So tlie couple did not go away unprovided with money. No event ever in tlie history of Bine Rock created such intense excitement. It waa a tantalizing mystery, and it was impossible to unravel it. The rapid progress of the war, however, soon ab­ sorbed pubHc attention, and the Dut­ ton episode ceased to be the topic of conversation. Some time ago, in a little town in Western Texas, I accidentally ran up­ on Jim Dutton. There Was no mistak­ ing the man. Time had dealt gently with him, aud he looked prosperous. 1 slapped him on the back with a hearty "Hello. Jim Du* ton!” Jim turned and fell all to pieces, so to speak. He recognized me and shook hands. After a long aud pleasant con­ versation, Jim said: "Colonel, I reckon you would like to know why my wife and I left Blue Rockf* "Well, you moy explain if you feel like it,’’I replied. letter in my room at tbe hotel before a blazing fire and with a good cigar to stimulate him Dutton unbosomed him­ self to me. "Colonel," said he, "it makes mv blush now to think what a greenhorn, what an miserable ignoramus I waa at the beginning of the war.” “Oh, no!" I suggest*ddeprecatiugly. “But I was,’’ continued Jim. "I ver­ ily believe I was the biggest fool in Georgia, and yet I thought I was tlie smartest man in the state. You see. being postmaster had puffed me up so that I felt aa big as tbe governor himfelf. Well, after the Confederacy or­ ganized I went ahead under my eld Federal commission, attending to the postal business of the Confederate states. One night my wife, who was a great reader, hinted to me that may be I bad laid myself liable for high trea­ son. Now, it struck me that our se­ cession was in fact a rebellion, and if we were whipped, as I feared we would be, I would be in a bad box. I told my wife about it, and she reminded me that I had a copy of Blackstone, and advised me to read up on the punish­ ment of treason.” Dutton paused a moment and then said: . “You see I was so badly scared that I was afraid to consult anybody, and besides there was- no lawyer at Blue Rock. I had beard a heap about Black­ stone and supposed everything in it was tbe law of tbe land. So that night I got the book down and my wife and I looked through iL I give you my word that what we read made our hair sand on end. * Why, air, we learned fnn* that book that 1 waa liable to be convicted of treason, drawn to the place of execution on a hurdle, banged, divided into four quarters, beside for­ feiting all my property aud haring my blood corrupted. My wife burst into a fit of tears and threw her arms around my neck. I blubbered r little, too. ** 'Just to think, said my wife, that my uimmie must be cut into four quar­ ters like beef, and be hanged, and all sorts of hurried thing*.' * “It is bad.’ I said, 'and then I see my Wood is to be corrupted.' A4x>uisville man got into a buggy behind a spirited horse with the remark that he was going to drive to Hudes. He hadn't gone two blocks before he was thrown through a window and had bis skull fractured. An Alabama moonshiner arraigned on a charge of illicit distilling said: "Well>it is mighty quare, yer can make peaches in a pte, stew 'em or pickle ’em. nut just let a man bile 'em, and he is clapped in jail or made to pay the gov­ ernment more’n bteyeafs wages. Richard Comstock ot Heppner, Ore­ gon, wore bnata whose soles were fas­ tened on with brass screw wire. Tbe leather got wet, and when it dried one of the screws stuck up through the sole and pierced Mr. Comstock's foot. Blood poison followed and he died in great agony. One day laat week near Hawkinsville, Ga.. a cow with clumped horns was licking ber calf when by some means tbe calf got ita head in the circle of tlie horns and could not extricate it. Tbe cow became excited, and in her efforts to get rid of the caJf strangled it and broke her own neck, and both died al­ most instantly. Nine-year-old Tommv McCloud was caught stealing in the Chesapeake and Ohio freight depot at Louisville and soundly spanked. In revenge be stole a switch key. waited for a passenger train, and then turned the switch. If tlie enkineer hadn’t seen tbe danger in time the train would undoubtedly have been thrown off the emhankmeut there. A young couple of Valley Ford, Cal., ran away together, and were married at Santa Rose. The girl's father chased them vigorously, and caught them just as they had been married hut instead of shooting his son-in-law full of bolee, he asked him what in blazea he wanted to run away with tbe girl for, when he could have married Herat home for the asking._______________________ How’s Your Liver?

C. L. Glasgow Why is it that LOOMIS CO OF VERMONTVILLE Have taken such a lead ove^ all competition? Why do the people come to them from such fi great distance to trade? How i* it that they have succeeded in saving the people so many thousands ol dollars iu tbe short time that they have been doing businetw? These questions and hundreds of others of a like nature aro asked ua every day. We cannot give all the reasons, but some of the more important are these: That they sell all goods tor Cash, keep track of their sales, profits and expenses, buy goods in immense quantities, thereby saving a good percentage in toe first cost, besides a percentage in freight, drayage, and other neces­ sary expenses. We sell more of that famous 83 cent tea (present price 9U cents) than is sold of all other kinds by all die other dealers m \ ermontville. We aeU more sugar, more crackers, more spices, more of all the leading Groceries than is sold by all other dealers together.* If any person double this we will gladly show up bills and freight bills in proof of what we say. _ _ . . In buying Dry Goods we get u large trade discount, in addition to our regular cash discount, that in many cases pays all the expense of handling. In a small bill of dressgmids just bought we made a saving of Dearly fifty dollars by faking a larger quan­ tity than any other dealer in this section could handle. In Cloth­ ing, Boots, Shoes, etc., the saving in many cases is even greater. Some people seem totbink that we are oilt-rlag them baits— ’tte not so. We want every customer to buy all he wants. We had rather sell a barrel of sugar than ten pounds. We will alwavs make a less price on a cheat of tea than on a small quantity. We make a little on everything. The result is, we save our customer* 20 per cent on sugar, 40 per cent on tea, 75 per cent on spices, 40 per cent on cracker*, 30 to 50 per cen t on dry goods and d rem goods. m much or more on clothing, boots and shoes, and all tbe time uiake a little money ourselves. Our trade for rhe first IS days of January, 1887, was *300 more than It was a vear ago.

Spanish Republican immigrants re* by the steamer Pekin, from hiu-kioug, having all but accomplished his run round tho world on a bicycle. A spare, wiry-looking man of about five feet seven, be seems none tbe worse for bis journey and tbe discomforts of most of tbe hut part of it, and speaks cheerfully of his experience generally. Hi* first serious obstacle was encountered in Afghanistan. He was the guest of the British Delimitation' Commis­ sioners for several days, but by their ad­ vice turaed back 300, miles to Berjande, after which he struck off again into Afghanistan, at a point a safe distance from the commission and their mes­ sages; but at Furrah. halfway be­ tween Herat and Kandahar, he was arrest’d by on Afghan chief acting under orders, who. after some dnys, escorted him back to Herat He was well treated by the Afghans, but they would not listen to his explanation of bis journeying without a political object, and bo carried him to Per­ sian territory again. He was obliged to return to the Caspian, from which ho went by way of tbe Caspian railway, and reached Constantinople, aud from thence by steam­ er to Currachee. So that to travel 300 miles by land he bad to go 6,000 miles by sea. From Currachee be went through Lahore, Delhi. Agra, Cawnpore to Cal­ cutta, from whence ho took ateamer to Hong Kong. On Nov. 13 be got bi* bicycle under way again and started for Canton, but he found it simply useless from the badness of the roads. Fifty miles were not covered be­ tween Ctnton and Kiukiang. One moment be thought that ba was on the highway to somewhere in particular, the next few yards brought him to tbe end of the pathway, which to his mortifleatien he found ter­ minated in a paddy field. So intricate and difficult to travel were tho roads that it took him over’twenty-four hour* to ride thirty miles after leaving Canton. Ho found most of these path warn about twenty inches wide, and high boulders blocked hi* way nt short intervals. Ho reluctantly determined to give his bicycle a rest and take to a sampan. It look four days to reach Chao-choo-foo by this means, and then after a short time on shore to mtreteh his legs, he got into -the boat again and did not leave it for four day* more, when ho found himself under the Mealing Pass and in tho province of Kiangse, Then he fancied that hi* way was straight before him, for tbe roads sud­ denly improved and the bicycle, which had been for eight days borne by coolies, was • once more put into requisition, and ho spun merrily ahead till he reached Kingan-foo. The weather from Canton to the Mbellng Pas* was very warm, but after that it grew cold and lain fell, which ren­ dered that portion of the journey doubly difficult and disagreeable. The traveler was greatly impressed with tho high state of .cultivation is* the provinces through which he joused. and with the beauty of some of the temples, notably of that be­ tween Tchinyncu and Lo-cuoo-foo. • Tne people everywhere treated him Tery well till be reached Kan-tohou-foo, where the inhabitants attacked him with stones, aud matte re were looking very serious when he reached the ysmen accompauied Uy two soldiare, who were sent with him by the very noisy and threatening, and amounted to several hundred.

Nearly Fifty People Meet * Frightful Death Is Ito Most AgonlaIng Shape. The House Ccmmitlee on Military Affaire has favorably reported upon a measure which, if it passes, will be th? moit stu­ pe ndoun expenditure which tho State has ever undertaken—ibis is, to pay bounty to veteran aoidient to the amount of nearly $16,000,000. Under tne present law no soldier enlisting prior to March 6, 1863, is entitled to bounty. After that date the allowances are iui follows: March 6 to Nov. 10, 1863. $50; Nov. 11, 1863, to Feb. 4-. 1864. $60; Fob. 5 to May 14, 1M4, $100; Feb. 4 to April 14, 1865, $150. This omits soldiers enlisting [n 1861, 1862, part of 1863 and and after April 14, 1865. The now measure lakes in all these, and the bounty goes to tho widow or orphans in case of the soldier s death. Tho State will have to pay out if tbe bill be­ comes a law $11,816^100, nocoraing to figures compiled by tho Quartermaster General. These show that the State fur­ nished 00,000 men through tho war. Un­ der tho old bounty law only 18.5W) men have received bounty, leaving 71,420 who will l>o affected by the new law. Allowing tbe necessary reductions for bounty pre­ viously received, tho total sum required under tho new law teaches nearly $15,000,­ 000. If the bill posses it will uinke tbo per capita tax twelve times ns much as it has ever been heretofore. The State levy is usually about fifty cents per capita. The passage of this bounty law would make the per capita tax $6. . . Senator Hubbell, has introduced a bill appropriating $5<n> a year for eacn cf the years 1887 and 1888 to the Stalo Pioneer So­ ciety, arid $4,000 to continue tbe publication of tbeir annual reports. The society, of which Col. Shoemaker, of Jackson, is Pres­ ident, and Mre. Tenny, the State Librarian, is Secretary, has for a long time l>een al­ lowed tbe regular annual appropriation of $5b0. Some years ago tho society began tho publication of boundvolumes of the recollec­ tions of pioneers and sketches of the early ■settlement of Michigan. It bus also begun to procure from the Dominion of Canada, copies and translations of all letters, re­ ports. and other documents in tho Capitol at Ottawa, bearing on the history of Michi­ gan during its occupancy by the French or British. The transcripts are procured at a trifling cost and have now been brought down to the yehr 1816. Tbe sodetv pro­ poses to incorporate s portion of'these French and British records in each of its volumes, having begun tho work in the last volume. Representative Dakin, of Saginaw, has introduced a bill which is the obverse, sc to speak, of the Baker conspiracy law. Tbe title is to prohibit any corporation, firm, oi individual from discharging from their em­ ploy any employes for the free expression of their opinions, and to provide a penalty for tho obstructing or preventing of any as­ sembly of workingmen for tho purpose of peaceably discussing their grievances. Il goes ou to prohibit, under penalty ot im­ prisonment in the county jail for not ex­ ceeding three months, or in tho State pris­ on for not exceeding ou® year, “any rail­ road company, corporation, firm or individ­ ual” from intimidating, impeding or ob­ structing except by duo process of law any laboring niau or workman in lheir employ from demanding or receiving an honest day's work, or to discharge their workmen for demanding or tor having expressed opinions upon nny subject; also, to prevent employers from interfering by intimidation or otherwise in the peaceable assembling of their workmen for the purpose *of dis­ ctuning questions intimately connected with their welfare." | [Senator Sharp introduced a joint resolu­ tion to amend tho Constitution with respect to Representatives. The point of the amend­ ment is to do away with the moiety repre­ sentation now allowed to counties which do not have the full ratio for a Representa­ tive. Mr. Sharp urged immediate action on this measure, complaining of its in­ justice. Senator Hnbbell said that it was not a measure that could take effect until after the next redistritting of tbe State. He thought it ought to go tn a committee and bo printed, and time taken to study up its effect. In this view he was re-inforced by Senators Giddings, Seymour and John W. Babcock. Ths joint resolution was re­ ferred to the Judiciary Committee.

[White Bivnr Junction (VI.) special.; An express train, Louixi from Boston for Montreal, met with a terrible accident near Woodstock.- ou tho Central Vermont Railroad, early Saturday morning. Tho train started from thia city eu time, but was detained at White River Junction, ao it was about an hour and a half late when it left there. It consisted of a locomotive, bogthe usual rate of speed. When about two hundred yards south of tbe end of the Deck bridge, near the old Windsor Station, a broken rail was struck. The locomotive, laggage-car and postal-ear broke away from the rest of the'train, passing over tbe bridge in safety* Tbs rest of tbe train waa thrown from the rails and continued on tho road-bed Until it came near th* end of the bridge, but there it ran over tho abutment, and all of the earn fell into tho White River, some fifty feet below. The gorge at this point is frightful, and when tbe cars went down there was a terrible crash. As soon as possible the detached part of the train was stopped and ran bock to tho aceno of tbe disaster. The screams of the injured were heartrending. Assistance also came from people living in the vicinity, and everything was done to rescue and re­ lieve the injured. Soon after help arrived it waa discovered that fire had started in the first passenger coach, and soon tho entire train wna ablaze, thus adding a new horror to the already frightful catastrophe.

I HAVE wished to'give you a motto to be inscribed upon your banner, which might give you strength in the hour of conflict. And what can I give you better than “Strength and beauty ?" What can you do better than to seek the highest combinations of these in the characters you are to form and to manifest ? Man may lie blessed with riches, troops of friends, pomp, state, the ad­ ulation of the world, but there will come a day when he must seek within himself for a companionship no other soul can give, apd if he finds it want­ ing, live, afterward, a blank. It is said that the warblings of a yearaiag, soulful donkey first suggested the name of O-ma-ha. A man must have a clean heart in his own breast in order to think well of the world in general. and one of the principal merchants. The European colony is small and con­ tinually changing; for Khartoum is a perfect grave-yard for Europeans, and in the rainy season for natives also, the mortality averaging then from thirty to forty per dayK vhi<h implies three thousand to four thousand for the sea­ son. Khartoum is the commercial cen­ ter of Soudan trade, amounting altogether to aixtv-five million, dollars a year, and carried on by one thousand European aud throe thousand Egyptian commercial houses. Drafts and bills of exchange upon Khartoum are as gold in Cairo and Alexandria, and vice versa. From official sources 1 learned that the city contained three thousand and sixty houses, many of them two­ storied, 'each having from ten to one hundred and fifty occupants. Stone and lime are 'found in abundance, and the buildings are, after a fashion, substantial, the houses belonging to rich merchants being very spaczous and comfortable. There are large bazars, in which is found a much greater variety of European and Asiatic goods than would be expected in such distant regions. Fh tho spacious mar­ ket-place a brisk trade is carried on in cattle, horses, camels, asses, and sheep, as well as grain, fruits, and other agri­ cultural produce. Many years ago an Austrian Roman Catholic mission was established and liberally supported by the Emperor of Austria, and by con­ tributions from the entire Catholic world. It occupies a large parallelo­ gram, surrounded by a solid wall. Within this indosnre, in beautiful gar­ dens of palm, fig, pomegranate, orange, and banana, stand a massive cathedral, a hospital, and other substantial build­ ings. Before the people of Egypt and the Soudan hod been irritated by for­ eign interference, such was their toler­ ation and good temper that the priests and nuns, in their distinctive costumes, were always safe from molestation, not only in Khartoum, but even at El Obeidand tbe neighborhood, where the majority are Mussulmans aud the rest heathens. It was Thackeray's delight to_ read each number of “Dombey and 8on" as it issued from tho press. He hnd often been heard to speak of the work in terms of the highest praise. When it had reached its fifth number, wherein Mr. Dickens described the end of little Pjtnl with a depth of pathos which pro­ duced a vibratory emotion in the hearts of all who read it, Mr. Thackeray seemed electrified at tho thought that there was one man living who could exercise so complete a control over him. Putting number five of “Dombey and Son” in his pocket, he hastened down to Mr. Punch’s printing office, and, entering the editor's, room, he dashed it on the table with startling vehemence and exclaimed: “There’s no writing against such power as this— one has no .chance! Read that chapter describing voung Paul's death; it is unsurpassed—it is stupendous!"—U. H. Stoddard. SAFE. SURE. PROMPT. At t»MMn »«*i GERMan FOf Pain rpHE BEST PLACE TO BUT TIKWAKE W.M. EVANS.

In the guileless love and hope of her — youthful heart, Hilda Delorme had imag­ ined that her marriage had been attended by exceptional auspices of a hoppy rad un­ clouded future; but her honeymoon had hardly began to wane in the beautiful an­ cestral seaside homo to which her lover­ husband, Archibald Delome, had borne her directly after tho ceremony that had made them one, before her breast grew troubled with strange doubts and fears. She gratfaolly became consciotui of his being (re ;ueutly preorcupted with other Cbougtts th;m those pertaining to herself; an expression of melancholy and reserve grew blended with the gentle looks that he •o often fMtened upon her face; ha wm •abject to sudden mutterings nnd fitful •tarts when ho deemed himself unobserved; rad there were other indications of a secret trouble preying on his mind, to which all his asseverations to the contrary, when she taxed him with the change, were insufficient to blind her. And at last, one day, when her waiting-maid, in answer to a que­ ry m to the whereabouts ot her •aster, replied carelessly that she hod seen him walking on the ciifls with a strange woman, to all appear­ ances a sort of mendicant, Hilda’s heart gave a great, painful leap, rad she felt a ■tokentag, suspicious sensation such m is only known ta^bose whose jealousy is in proportion with their love. “I could'nt see who or what tho strange oould say, in answer to tbe ea^er but care­ fully veiled inquiries with which her young ■ustrora at once began to follow up this bit of information. “I was coming up from the fishing village, and their backs were turned toward me m I saw them strolling along the edge of the cliffs. I only noticed that the woman with Mr. De­ fense appeared to be tall rad shapely. She also seemed to bo well dressed, rad I marked something beseeching-like in her features, which made mo think she must be begging alms. But my master seemed fa be sternly refusing ail her appeals. He wm shaking his head rad hie walking•tick at the Kame time, m the beech trees •hut ’em out from view." Hilda finaUy forbore ray further ques­ tioning, but tbe poison of distrust hod by this time unequivocally entered her soul. What could it mean?

It seemed to her that he betrayed even more preoccupation •nd nervousness than she bad yet remarked fa him, though ho abated nothing of the eeurtly kindlincra with which he had over greete'd her; and finally, when he pleaded a pressing burineas affair at the neighboring city of Halifax m an excuse for not partak­ ing of the accustomed luncheon with her, her jealous apprehensions grew apace. “You’ve bera out walking ever since breakfast, Archy," said she. petulantly. “Can't you remain with me now?” “You mast know that nothing would please me better, Hilda, darling." he re­ plied, kissing bcr; “bat tbe affijr that samsaonu me to tho city is as pressing as it is unpleasant.

A moment later he moved along the graveled walk outsido, with his bowed head still bare, rad listlessly •winging his hat rad cane in one hand, while the other was pensively thrust in tbe boaom ot his overcoat.

He con­ ducts his farm, factory, trade, profes­ sion without her direct interference or knowledge. If ho makes a loss or a ftrofit aho knows nothing about it un­ ess ho thinks to tell' her. She is ab­ sorbed in her work, and when he is nt home he does not wish to “talk shop,” nor does she desire that ho should. She knows, or ought to know, the general condition of his business, his profits; his income, how much they can afford to spend, when they ought to re­ trench, when they are justified in in­ creasing outlay. This is all that is necessary. If he dismisses a man, if ho increases his force, if he changes his methods, she does not feel it, sees no result from it, is not affected by it.

Much used to be said about his rudeness, roughness, and profanity, and I have read some pretty hard stones about tbe bad treatment that he gave tho soldiers under him on some occasions. It is a plea­ sure for me to say tbat. meeting him sev­ eral times, Loth on and off duty, I can say nothing from my own experience with him except in his praise. I found him, when off duty,'kind, polite, agreeable; when on duty, sharp, decided, rather peremptory, but by no ificaus supercilious or overbear­ ing. He certainly had none of that tenceut starch and pomposity that we too often raw exhibited by some regular offi■ oers, wbo seemed to think that because they bad the stamp of West Point they must look down on the volunteers. I came in contact with West-Pointers of all ranks, and I made up my mind that ths discipline and education of that institution neither mode nor marred n man. They were pretty certain to make a Soldier of him; out if tie had-tbe snob or the brute in him. Went Point did not take it out; if he was a man when ha went in, West Point din not spoil him. The temptation to digress in writing of such subjects as this is great, but I will confine myself to just one case in point. Thousands of the vet­ eran readers Ot these sketches will remem­ ber with pleasure General Godfrey Weitzel, Butler’s right-hand man at New Orleans, ’ long a brigade commander ia Louisiana, and in command of the Twenty-Fifth Corps in front of Richmond at the time of its evacuation. A more accomplished engineer, a better tactician never graduated from the Military Academy; but he never seemed to feel the least pride in the fact. His man­ ner toward the private soldier- was just as kind and courteous as toward the officer; hia Idea was that the volunteers were, wil­ ling aud anxious to learn, and tbat it was his duty to instruct them. I believe tbe man made a friend of every one of the thousands he commanded. The truth about Hancock probably is that in the heat of batt’a ho had not great patience with those who did not think and act as quickly as he-did. On such occasions he may Lave said and done some harsh things which he would not have raid nnd done at other times. That he used to rip '..out b.g oaths, under the stress of battle. I do not think al all to his discredit* To tbe officer in command, high or low, who in ..earnest and brave, tome profanity when the powder burns and the bullets fly is almost as natural ns it is for him to breathe. I don't say that it is either pretty or com­ mendable. I do ray that it is human na­ ture. We bare heard a great deal raid about the correctness of the language used by General Grant and Stonewall Jackson, and that neither of them was ever heard to swear. I can only say that if this was really true, that simple fact shows them both to have been great men. because it shows that they had that powerful eel f-con trol that kept them from a habit which upon the battle field was really a second nature. Ono order I remember, however, that Hancock issued at Winchester, that caused great grumbling and disappointment in tho ranks. It was his famous order tbat brigade-drill should be performed with full knapsacks on. For the new recruit, who needed to be toughened to the labors of tha service, this wm well enough; but in the case of the veterans of Dwight's Di­ vision, who had served almost three years, marched thousands of miles, nnd fought halt a dozen battles, it appeared harsh and unnecessary. Tbe private soldier can do nothing but grumble under such cirxumKtnnc.es; aud I certainly ou that occasion secretly sympathized with him in his growls.’ But to the veterans who over saw General Hancock iu uniform, cither mounted or on fool, bis memory will always be that of a niau wbo thoroughly looked the general and the fighter, (hrr six feet tall, finely proportioned, without the superfluous flesh in tbo*«e days that came to him in rhe re­ pose of Governor's Island .after the war, a well-Hhajwd head, large features, an eye that kindled under excitement, long mustache and imperial—indeed, be wonld remind yon of Jove himself, hurling the thunderbolts of war.

His home was locate! convenienly for Confederate headquarters the day before the battle, and General Beaure­ gard uted it for that purpose, “And he wrote bis dispatches and orders on that very table,” said McLean. The glimpse of war tbat the latter had at this time fully satisfied him—in fact, it filled him with un­ easiness and terror. "I determined to quit this part of Vir­ ginia,” he said, “aud go where there wonld be no danger of the Yankees coming.

THE BOT BANDIT. “Gimme a bite o’ yoar jujube paste?” ’ The speaker waa a boy of some twelve summers and an equal number of winters, to aay nothing of a largo number of springs and several hundred falls. The moat casual observer would have been willing to make a deposition before the nearest magistrate that be­ neath a somewhat < om mon place and phenomenally dfrty exterior (for our hero had a haughty contempt for con­ ventionalities) this boy concealed an indomitable will and a collarless shirt. The person whom he addressed waa a girl of about his own age. She waa peerlessly beautiful, and wore store clothes, and had an aristocratic air. Every nerve stretched to its utmost tension, the boy awaited her answer. With a quick movement she placed tho coveted confection out of his reach, ut­ tering, as she did so. these words: "Naw, I won’t, neither." The youth staggered as if he had been hit with a club. Had he not been so passionately atts-hed to his native land as to carry a., large sample of at on his face, his com­ panion would have seen that he waa ghastly palR. . The iron had entered bis soul. “So be it," he hissed, in a strange, unnatural voice. “This is the bitterest blow of all. To-night I leave New York forever. Henceforth William Boggs is dead. But in his plade will spring to life one of .whom men will sj>eak with bated breath and bulging eyes; one whose feared and hated numo will be----“What? Whatr wailed the girl. “Barbarous Bill, the Boy Bandit, tho Holy Terror of the Yosemite.” . As he uttered these words tbe jujube paste fell from his companion’s nerveleas fingers, and with a low cry aho sank fainting to the ground. The boy seized the confection and eagerly devoured it Then as he strode rapidly away he muttered, hoarsely: “Tremble, haughty gynrl, for the end is not yet come.” One year has passed. The snows of another winter have fallen and passed away; the patent-medicine men have all , issued new editions of their almanacs ; tbe veteran actress has completed her eleventh annual farewell tour. ' In the cavern in the heart of tbo Yosemite which they make their ren­ dezvous are seated Barbarous Bill, tho Bov Bandit, and his lawless gang—all stalwart, black-bearded ruffians from Ruffianville, but mere puppets in tho hands of their boy chief. “Away with you!" shouts the yon lb, suddenly springing to his feet. “A partv* of travelers will cross yonder* pass in an hour. Go, capture them and bring them to me. There will be a gyurl among them,” and the outlaw's voice grew tremulous. “For your livesdo not let her escape you." ' One of the band, a man of herculean build, attempted to make some feeble objection, but an instant later a blow from the young chief stretched him senseless upon the floor of the cave. In an hour three captives were brought in—an old man, his wife, and their daughter, whom the reader haw already met. “Aha! Matilda Mulligan.” hissed the Ixjy, with a demoniac smile, “you are in me power at last!" Chapter HL-KovolL Barbarous Bill had stepped out to shoot a few bears and other wild ani­ mals, and the prisoners were alone with the band. ' “IVhat in thunder is the reason,*" asked old man Mulligan, “that you fel­ lows obey every order of that young cub ? Are yon attached to him ?" “No," replied one of tho gang, shndderingly, xwe fear and hate him, but we must obey him." “Why?” The men exchanged wonderingg lances. “Why—why—because it's the regular­ thing. We never read a dime novel in which the Boy Chief was not held in­ awe and unquestioningly obeyed.” “Well, if I were one of your band I’d give him a switching he'd never for­ get and then clear him out.” “It's a great scheme!" shouted tbe outlkws, in wild enthusiasm at tho novel idea. “We’ll try it" Barbarous Bill returning at that mo­ ment, one of his gang took him over his knee and administered corporal punishment until the youth howled fox­ mercy. It duly remains to be said that the next day the Boy Bandit returned to New Y ork with Mr. Mulligan, and ia now acting as errand-boy in a shoe store.

Few persons, perhaps, in this sec­ tion are aware of the extent of the cul­ tivation of the castor bean in portions of this country. Its prominence as a crop in Illinois is due to the repeated failure of the wheat crop, which it luus in a measure superseded. The plant is a native of Egypt, Africa, and its chief nursery in this country is Egypt, HL It attains a height of about four feel in Southern Europe and America, bnt ia India reaches the size of a tree. It. was known to aud used by the ancteuts^ The Greeks called it croton. Tho coun­ ties of Jutlerson and Franklin, Illinois, claim the largest acreage devoted to it. In Southern Illinois a territory of over 20.000 acres is g ven up to its cultiva­ tion. To pay exiMrases and yield a fair remuneration the bean must bring at least $1.25 per bushel. Last year it sold on an average at $1.40, and f*rm- of soil that is favorable to wheat and. corn serves for the bean.

The adjourned meetin)r'f8ftbe pur­ pose of ratify hlgillie action of the leg­ islature in submitting to a vote of the people a prohibitory amendment to the constitution, at the opera house on Monday eve., was not as largely at­ tended as it should have been. The meeting organized by electing J. B. Mills chairman and Orno Strong secretary. The “call” was read, the chairman siated the object of the meet­ ing, and invitation was given persons to express their views upon the matter. Walter Webstef stated that he hadn’t much to say upon the matter, but was ready and willing to do all in his power for the amendment. A. M. Flint had something to say up­ on tbe subject. He had been ■ through the mill, grinding process and all. His boys were growing into manhood, which made him' doubly interested in the matter. He considered the question more important than who should lie the next President He indotsed, and would vote for the amendment. J. S.

Tbe subject is an interesting one; anti before leaving it to relate the story that I began to tell, which naturally grows out of it, at the adventures and fate of a Confed­ erate spy, it should be said that the Union people in the valley, if in a great minority, were both eager and willing to render any •ervice to tho cause that was consistent with their safety; and tiiat upon many oceesioni General ShtfHdan received the •east valuable information from them, which be publicly acknowledged after the war.

What he did with these men has become history. In the rain dud frost ho pushed far up the valley to Rockfish Gap, where they literal­ ly rode over the disjointed fragments of an army that Early had gathered there, cap­ turing most of them, and sending them back to Winchester, and then striking over tho mountains to the southeast, destroying canals and railloads, and joining Grant at City Point for the final work. I saw the motley captures of this mid, as they were corralled together by tho Provost Marshal, and'was highly edified by the talk of some of them. One’ gaunt fellow gave a graphic summary of the affair in about this language: “Why, wo uni was there, in the gap, and vo was goin' to fight you uns; but you uns camo ridin’ in hell-bent, and scooped wo uns up just like bo many hcrrinT It was late one night in that January, when several of Emory's staff ware tatting up in one of our. log huts at Stevenson's Station, three miles north of Winchester, that a negro was brought in by a corporal of the guard. He was anxious to see “Massa General Sheridan," but was pres­ ently convinced that if he had anything of importance to tell . Le bad better let us have it His mission wm indeed important, if his st-orr was true. He said he lived at Bunk­ er Hill, about twelve miles north, and was “a Linkum niggnb.” There was an old mem named Link living there, who sympa­ thized with the Confederacy, and whose only son was in Early's army.' Before day­ light that morning he had seen a man ride un to Link's house, and gain admittance, while his horse was put in the barn. The negro had slrly watched the premises all day, and he believed'both man and horse were there yet. “Well, unde, what of it?" our Provost Mnnihal asked. “I tink he'tiyoung Mas'r Link, Bah.” “Nonsense! Why, how could ho get here, through our pickets, from away off near Gordons rille?4 -had made a wide detour toward the moun­ tains ol tho west, and oomo in that wey. “I suppose that might be; but what's his. object?” “He's a spy, sah.” "Of course he is—if he's the man; but■ soldiers don't often take such risks for the' good of the service. Has he a mother alive?” “Then I doubt'if he's from Early's army. A man wouldn't come ail that distance andI risk his neck merely to see bis father." Tbe darky'* fuco wore a broad grin asi he answered that there was n young woman1 living at old Link's house to whom tho son1 was engaged. “Now you do talk!" said the officer. “A young fellow will go through fire and water' to see his sweetheart. This promises to bo' important. Stay here, and 1'11 see about it." He went out, and in fifteen minutes was back with authority from the General to try. to make tbe capture, and to take whatever he wanted for that purpose. Of course, we were all clamorous to go;; but the Provost Marshal thought it neces­ sary to take only one officer'beside him­ self and a dozen mounted orderlies, all well armed. The negro, of course, went: along ns a guide. I was not of this little expedition, and I •waited the result with much interest. It was entirely successful. Shortly after daytight the party returned, bringintr the pris­ oner on tho horse which the negro had rid­ den away. He was an erect, manly look­ ing fellow of uDout twenty-two. He was very pale and much agitated now, though. he did his beat to keep up a bold de­ meanor. Over our mess-table at breakfast that morning, the Provost Marshal related his adventure. “It was about two o'clock in the morning when we got to Bunker Hill. The negro pointed out the house, and immediately made himself scarce, in which he was quite right; it probably wouldn't be wall for him to have any of those people discover his agency in this business. Late—or early —as it wm. there was a light in the rear part of the house. I surrounded the build­ ing with nine men. posted another at the stable-door, and, with tho Lieutenant and the other two, rappod nt the buck door. The light wm out in a twinkling. We ham­ mered at tho door till old man Bink opened a window and demanded our business. 'You shan't.' *We shall!

" 'You'll have to talk to General Sheri­ dan about that,' I said; and in ten mtnutes, after each a acene between him and the girt ns made roe feel very womanish, we had him mounted and ridmg to camp.” ’ The princmer was duly turned over to tbe Provost st Wincbester, and a full report of tbe made to General Sheridan, who promptly ordered a military commiiudon to try him on tbe charge of.being a spy. The facta were too plain to be dented. Ha had been founi^i inside onr lines, in citizen's clothes,' lurEmg' in secret; several good Union people from tho vicinity of Bunker Hill were roadv to testify that he was a Confederate soldier, and that they had seen him in the ranks of Early's army, canrying n musket, the previous summer. This he did not deny, but strenuously insisted that he did not come home with any intention of being a spy. He said that bo had not seen his father nor his affianced since Sep­ tember; that ho had been permitted to come here by General Early, and that he had in­ tended to return, after a short visit, with­ out seeking any information tp carry back with him. His plea was a plausililc one, but could not avail against the stern facts. The raid of our cavalry that has been re­ ferred to was in contemplation; tbe intel­ ligence of it might' have been carried to Early by this soldier, with very prejudicial results to us. He was found gyiltV, and sentenced to be hung. The conviction and sentence were promptly approved by-tire commanding General, and a day only two weeks off fixed for the execution. Much sympnthy was felt for the con­ demned and his betrothed, while of course the entire justio.-of his fate, as military justice goes, wm acknowledged by every­ body in our army. Great effort* were made by the people at Winchester _r to save him. Many petitions forLa_milde __milder punishment were sent to headq*pnrteh. —‘Tbe ladies of Winchester were e vpecially- active’ in tbe matter, and some o| them sought interviews with tbe General 4n-----------------------behalf of Link.----Poor — Sue went to headquarters and begged for bis life, as was natural. But it was re­ ported that Hheridau wm obdurate, and that the spy must hang. Tho appointed day came. Almost at the hour fixed for tbe execution, tho General relented. Link wm ordered back to con­ finement, and the execution wm indefinitely postponed. I think that everybody was glad of it. Tho war wm plainly drawing to a close, and tho death of this poor fellow could not hasten it a particle. He wm released, of course, the next spring, and went back to Bunker Hill to finish his courting in peace, undisturbed by Yankee soldiers. 1 don't absolutely know what happened later on; but I suppose that he and Susan were duly married, and I think that if ho nnmed one of his boys Phil Sheridan, he did no more than tho correct thing. How Phil Sbrri^au Became a Soldier. It is a well-known fact that Gen. Sheridan’s parents were people of very humble circumstances, and that his father had a hard struggle to support and educate his larga family. Ami it was necessary for the boys early in life to seek employment in order that they might support themselves and assist their father as much as possible. They were all unusually bright and industrious, and wore not only willing but anxious to do all they could. At the time of which we write the Lancaster (Ohio) Congressional Dis­ trici, in which old Mr. Sheridan and his family resided, was represented by a Democrat This member was entitled to the appointment of a cadet at the West Point Military Academy^ ns were all other members under tho law. Be­ fore he had made a selection, however, two of his constituents, both friends of his, very wealthy, they concluded that they would like to have their sods receive the appointment, and according­ ly each started ■ nt among his friends in the district to obtain recommenda­ tions to tho member of Congress for tho appointment of his son. The men were both well liked, and, as a consoquence, through their determined efforts, almost all of tbe people in the district had taken sides, and the Con­ gressman was pressed upon all sides to appoint one or the other. He was in a dilemma; to appoint either would bring the enmity of tho other and all bis friends. Ho concluded ho would ad­ vise with Thomas Ewing, one of Ohio’s grestest men, who was than a Sena­ tor and resided in the town of Lancaster. Accordingly ho want to tho Senator's house and explained the situation to him. After thinking tbe matter over for a moment, the Senator said: "If I were in your place I would not appoint either of those boys. I would select some poor man’s son and send him; each of these men and his friends would be glsd that you did not appoint the other’s son, and the whole people of the district wonld applaud yon for sending a poor boy.” “That's a capital ideal” remarked the now delighted member as he saw a way out of tbe difficulty; “but where is there a boy I can send?" Just then old Mr. Sheri­ dan, who was employed by Senator Ewing, walked into the dming-room where tbe two were sitting, with some stove wood in his arms. “There." said the Senator, “is Mr. Sheridan; he has some bright boys, and you couldn’t do better than to send one of them.” In the meantime Sheridan had deposited his wood in the box behind tbe stove and was going out of the room. “Sher­ idan,” said tbe Senator, "how would you like to have one of your boys go to West Point?" “I don’t know, sir, re­ plied Sheridan; “I never thought of that, and you know better about it than I do. I would leave it all to you, sir." “Well," said the Senator, "if either was to be sent, which would you prefer to have go ?" “I don’t know about that either, air. If it’s for books you want him, you had better send Mike; but if it’s for fighting you want him, you had better send 1’hil." And Sheridan went his wsy. "There,” said the Senator to tbe Congressman, “there’syour chance. It’s for fighting you want him/ dow send Phil Sheridan.” And he did.— Inter Ocean.

If Edison can render sound avail­ able in bo many ways, why doesn’t he utilize the howling wilderness ? Louis Engel, in hia “From Mozart to Mario," writes thru of Mil—ntiTa youth: “In a little' hut among tall ’pines on the estate of Count Hamilton, near Wexio, in Sweden,.the hut, «as­ sisting of two rooms, belonging io a 1M9, was born a little tow-headed girl, ' the youngest .of seven children, who never spoke unless especially ques­ tioned, but continually sang,- trying to imitate the birds or tho murmuring of ths waters—in fact, obeying an inner impulse to imitate tho great models of nature, never having heard anything else. TheSjoabohi (hamlet) of Snugg, to which the part of the forest lielooged where she had first seen the light of day, was a few miles distant from Wexio, and the highest* ambition of the poor children was to be able to get to the fair of Wexio and. earn a few pence someway in that great town of some 1,800 inhabitants. In . order to reach that glorious result, little Chriatine, who had taught herseli to play on a small fiddle which belonged to her elder brother (and which you can boo any day you pleasp in the magnificent mansion she has built for herself in j South Kensington), entered into parinership with her brother, who was al­ ready ner inferior os a violinist, .and they started ont together for the cele­ brated Wexio. . . . On they went, per pedes Apostolorum, until they reached, on their way. Ljung-by (by means village), where there was held a small fair, and where the youug violinist, accompanied her own voice in the few Swedish national songs she then had heard and retained in her precious‘ memory. With great pride she relates that this, her first open-air concert* brought her the treasure of three-pence half-penny, forewarning her of the un­ told wealth which awaited the children at tho town fair. Thither, then, they repaired with all the courage that suc­ cess, ‘glory, and money could give, and arri ed a little tired, but hopeful, at the fair. There was suddenly a big audience, who wondered if the violin played Christine, or Christino the violin. When the admiring crowd as­ sembled. it attracted the attention cf Mr. Thornerhjelm, the provincial judge, who tried to find out, as every­ one of us would, what was the matter. Well, fortunately for the great singer, the Judge, a man of over six feet high, looked over the shoulders of the people at tho little girl who formed tho center of attraction, and then he saw and heard, over and above the scraping of the little fiddle, what he thought the sweetest and most enchanting timber of voice ho had ever heard before. A highly educated man, and accustomed to read in the physiognomy of the peo­ ple who were brought before him their character and probable capabilities, be spoko first to the boy, then to the Uttle girl, and there and then laid tho foundation of the groat prim i donna's fortune by the present- of untold wealth —a sixpence. Christine, already fright­ ened with the responsibility of carry­ ing her Ljung-by funds, suddenly grown rich beyond her expectations, rich great firmness insisted on their immediate return to the only piece where so much money could safely bo invested or deposited—their father's hut You can see, in one of Christinas great saloons, the little skirt, which did not descent to the ankle, the toilette dejonr of her first concert, minus the least bit of shoes or stockings; and the cherished portrait of two bon* paysans Suedois—father nnd mother—in a rich gold frame, which cost more than a iong series of* concerto at that time could have brought her. “Although not quite so rich as she became hereafter, she returned with the first money earned from her first ruccess in public to her father, who saw, real and alive, pence, the pro­ duct of two concerto, in his daughter's little hand. Strange os it may appear, the great success and the great finan­ cial result remained for a few days without any further eonsoquencea; when, just as a second artistic journey was contemplated, the above-mentioned Judge, who naturally had had some difficulty in unearthing the whereabouts of his small prim* donna, came straight upon her father and asked him would he allow his Honor the provincial J udgo to take temporary possession of the youngest child, and if she were found to bo so intelligent and gifted as she was supposed to be, to give her the education which would, perhaps, make the name of little Christine somewhat better known? Tho father referred, him to the mother, as every well-bred father will, and the mother, with that abnegation that makes of motherly love tho cnly reliable, never-to be-foundwanting love in the world, instantly consented to separate herself from her beloved child—a youngest child to boot—so long as that that sacrifice could do the child any goed. This lit­ tle preliminary arranged, tjie first ia»portant step in Christine's life waa made.” Hejedltary Inebriety. “Thia ia no wholesale liquor store," said the bartender, indignantly, aa h» snatched the bottle away from a tougblooking citizen, who had called for a. drink of whisky and filled the tumhlcr to the brim, “Don’t get mad about a little thing­ like that,” said the cuatomer. “But it is too big a drink for any­ body." “Not for me.

The latter and his friends are supposed to hold enough stock to control the May election, and why it should be held if not for that pnrpoflo is a mystery on 'Change. Cor­ bin’s brokers have had another block of 10,­ 000 shares of Jersey Central stock tranferretf to their name. This makes about 40,000 share* now held bv them, and it is under­ stood that, with the holdings by parties friendly to them, is sufficient to give them control of tbo road at the coming election. There seem io be preparations to continue the receivership indefinitely, os s company has been organized under the title of the Jersey Central Improvement Company, the object of which ia to provide means for the development of Jersey .Central, in which tbe receiver's funds cannot bo invested. The capital stock is $1,000,000, and $350.­ 000 has already been issued in payment of stocks and bonds of the Cumberland and Maurice Railroad, which was lately added to the Jersey Central system.

CoL Rbyall ordered one of his battalion commanders to ‘put that battalion in campon tho other side of the river, facing east’ A promi­ nent and well-known habit of the subordinate officer was a tendency to split hairs, discuss orders, and, in fine, to make trouble whsre there was a ghost of a chance of so doing unpun­ ished. Presently the Colonel saw that his instructions were not being carried out, and, not being in a mood for in­ direct action, he put spurs to his horse, dashed through tho stream and reined up alongside the victim, with: ’Didn’t I order you, sir.- to put your battalion in camp along the river, facing east?’ ‘Yoe, sir. But this isn’t a river; it's only a creek.’ ’Creek, sir! Creek, sir! What do you mean, s'r? It’s a river—a river from thia time forth, by order, sir.

The sea occupies three-fifths of the earth. . The Mediterranean is quite shadow. A drying np of 060 feet wouldleave three different seas, and Africa would be joined with Italy. Evaporation ia a wonderful power in drawing the, water from the sea. Every year a layer of the entire sea fourteen feet deep is taken up in the clouds. • The water is colder at the bottom than at the surface. In the many bays on the coast of Norway the water often freezes nt the bottom before it does above. At the depth of about 3,500 feet waves are not felt The temperature id the same, varying only a trifle irom the ice of tbe pole to 4he burning sun of the equator. A mile down the water has a pressure of over a ton to the square inch. If a box six feet deep were filled with sea water and allowed to evapor­ ate under the sun there would be two^ inches'of salt left on the bottom. Tak­ ing the average depth of tho ocean to be three miles, there would be a layer of pure salt 230 feet thick on the bot­ tom of the Atlantic. If the Atlantic were lowered 6,461 feet tbo distance from shore to shore would be half as great, or 1,500 miles. If lowered a little more than three miles, say 18,680 feet, there would be a road of dry land from Newfoundland to Ire­ land. This is the plain on which the great AUantic cables were laid. Waves are very deceptive. To look at them in a storm one would think the water traveled. The water stays in tho same place, but the motion goes on. Sometimes in storms these waves are forty feet high, and travel fifty miles an hour— more than twice as fast as the swiftest steamer. The distance from valley to valley is generally fifteen times tbe height, hence aware five feet high will extend over seventy-five feet of water. It has been found difficult to get cor­ rect soundings of tbe Atlantic. A mid­ shipman of the navy overcame the difficulty, and a shot weighing thirty pounds carries down the line.

The bar is made fast to the line, and a sling holds tho shbt on. When the bar, which extends below tbe ball, touches the earth the sling unhooks and tho shot slides off. The lard in the end of the bar holds some of the sand, or whatever may be on the bottom, and a drop shuts over tbe 2up,to keep the water from wash­ ing the sand out.

Seeing a Battle, It did not happen to vary many of tho soldiers of the war jot' the rebellion that they were enabled to stand off and Took on while a battle was in progress. It hap­ pened to me once under peculiar circum­ stances, and a magnificent right Jt was. This occurred at Fisher's Hill, Vs., Sept 22, 1«G4. Two days before we woke from our biv­ ouacs beyond Winchester, with ranks de­ pleted by the battle, somewhat tired yet ■ with ita labors and excitements, and ex­ pecting to march at once in pursuit of tho enemy. Everything was noon ix» mo­ tion; the cavalry thrown out far in the advance, the infantry marching through the fields in three columns, and the ar­ tillery taking the pike. From Win­ chester to Strasburg is twenty miles; Fish­ er’s, Hill is jnst bejvnd the latter place. Kearnslown, Newtown and Middletown are on the pike along this route, and the whole region was an old battle-ground. About every square foot of it had been fought over since the spring of 186'2. For the first limo our irms were thoroughly successful here; for the very first time, after the war had progressed three yean and a half, a Union army was following up a thoroughly beaten and retreating enemy. General Sheridan felt decidedly well that morning. His famous dispatch about •sending Early whirling up the Valley."* had gone by telegraph the night before to Washington, and was at this moment elec­ trifying the country. Winchester was the first positive, dear-cut, decided-victory that our arms had gained since Sherman occu­ pied Atlanta, and both people and army felt well over it As our army footed it •long with the ronte-ste^about ten o'clock that morning, Sheridan and bis staff over­ took ns. I noticed that he wore a new pair of long buckskin gauntlets. Tbe men cheered him, of course, and ho bowel. But it was plain to be seen that he was “ull buainoM,” and had no time for fuss or pa­ rade. There was not much of the “banner and band of music” stylo about this man on a campaign. Ho would have a review when he thought it necessary for tbe spirit and encouragement of hta army, or any part of it; buthe seemed in his natural ele­ ment when he was putting tho “go" into everybody and everything—as ho was this morning. As the great peaks of the Massanutten Mountains, and the frowning wall of Fish­ er's Hill began to appear in the dim dis­ tance, signs of something on hand were seen. The throb and boom of artillery came faintly back to us. We saw staff officers and orderlies flying up the pike aud across the fields. Tho Signal Corps were well out to the front, and from an emi­ nence, from tho roof of a house, a barn, or a tree, their waring flags were sending back intelligence of the enemy. It wm a wonderful and most useful arm of the service. Their value on this cam­ paign was very great Not only by day­ light did they rignal as far as their flags oould bo seen, but at night, with waving lanterns, from the high summits of Ibis re­ gion, they were known to send nows st a distance of ten and even fifteen and twenty miles. Before night wo halted outside’of Stras­ burg. Our pickets were at the north end Of tbe town, and tho enemy's at the south of IL No fires could bo allowed, for they would have invited a hostile shell. My regiment wm bivouacked in a ravine, and before lying down that night we partook of a sumptuous repeat of hard-tack, raw salt pork, and water. Many's tho time since that I paid a dollar for a meal that I reli*hed far less than that humble “snack.” Th« next morning some of Sheridan's ... infantry charged through the town and drove out (ftp Confederate pickets. Sheri­ dan and the other Generals rode out well in front of Strasburg, reconnoitering "tbe enemy’s position. Some high ground, well advanced from the bill. Party had seized for an outpost, and this Sherman deter­ mined to have, to demonstrate from. A brigade of the Sixth Corps was sent in and took it after a stiff fight. During the rest of the day the woodchoppers’ axei were heard from this position, as they forti­ fied it Pretty much the whole of this day was occupied in getting tho army into position. The Sixth Corps held the right, facing tho * hill; the Eighth was held back in reserve, for a movement that Sheridan was medi­ tating; the Nineteenth was oa the left, its left flank “reposed," or thrown back to conform to the course of the Shenandoah Biver. on which it rested. It was quite dark when an order came to our regiment to go out and relieve tho Ono Hundred and Sixteenth New York, ou picket, taking ths extreme left of our line. We fell in, formed fours, and started. We had a guide who knew something of the situation and the route to it. but who was not entirely certain, and ho caused us soma unnecessary marching, which did not improve our temper. I don’t know of any­ thing that is more irritating to officers in along on a dark night, searching for a po•itiou that they are ordered to take imme­ diately, but the location of which they mart find m they go. The be»t of tempers will •orae times giro way under that kind of a •train, aa some of ours did that night. Wa were directed out through the town, beyond ita eastern extremity. Had there been any light, we should have discovered bat it wm duly by stumbling over tbe track when nnnseronx “officers and otmtlemen.** at full length ou the sacred soil. Bat everything has au end, and we final­ ly got into position and relieved the other wounded at Winchester, and the Lieutenant Colonel at Pleasant Hill, away up the Bed Biver. Major Carta* took the lef« wing an a reaerve, and eatablinhed himself with it I traveled the whole length of the line with the relief, that 1 might learn something of the location of the pickets. But it was useless to hope for much information in that ota^cunty. I kn«w that this was the extreme left of our linos, and tbe Captain of the One Hundred and Sixteenth, whom I relieved, lold me that the Shenandoah River wan near by the picket line. For the rent, I knew that I liad about two dozen picket'posts, stretched over half a mile. I cautioned them to be vigilant, and returned to my reserve, numbering thirty or forty nten. lha night wore away. Tho excitement of these movements, o( the situation, and tho frequent relieving of the pickets, with the challenges all along the line which I could distinctly hoar, prevented me from haring oven those “cat-nape" which the situation would have allowed. Sometimes I walked about and talked with the men about the stirring campaign that we had thus far seen, and made some wise guesses about what would' happen on the morrow. A few distant lights seemed only to inten­ sify (bo darkness.' There wore a few in Strasburg, behind us, others off to the right, and some so far off in front of us that 1 knew they must be across the river aud in the enemy's territory. Now occur­ red au incident that has always seemed to mo one of the queerest of my whole service. So far in front of us that the sound could, only hnve proceeded from the Confederate right, a baud began to play* The distance must hare been quite a mile; but the night was still, and the condition of the atmos­ phere was favorable to the transmission of sound. First wo beard “Bonnie Eloise," which some of our bands were accustomed to play, but in wjiioh they did not claim an exclusive property. Then my oars wore sur­ prised by “Yankee-Doodle." This seemed strange enough, considering where it onme from: but when, after rattling off “Dixie," tho entertainment wound up with “John Brown. I experienced a mild astonish­ ment. Whether it was harmless bravado, or what was really meant by such eccen­ tricity, I never knew. Morning came, the great curtain of mist Slowly rolled away up the sides of tho mountain, and the situation was before us with all ita savage grandeur as well aa pict­ uresque beauty. So remarkable, ho nearly wonderful were the military events which attended. the close of this., day, that tho reader will not deem' the little space wasted in which the theater where they occurred is described. Tbe Shenan­ doah Valley, twenty miles in width north of this point, narrows here to a width of four miles, and right across it, from east to west, stretches Fisher's Hill, until it falls away at the west to the little North Moun­ tain. The hill is simply tho abrupt falling off of the table-land north of it, and as much of a fortification as if nature boil de­ signed it as such. Tbe narrowing of the valley at this point is caused by the double chain of mountains thrown out from the Blue Ridge, makifig parallel valleys, and called the Massanutten Ranges. Just be­ low Finher's Hill these ranges trerminate so abruptly as to give the spectator the idea that be is gazing upon two or threo isolated mountain peaks. We found ourselves on the morning of the 22d at tho bnso of these natural giants, which towered up fifteen hundred feet over our heads, while the sil­ ver thread of the north fork of the Shenan­ doah wound round their base. Our eyes turned to the long, high rampart of Fish­ er’s Hill. Along ita summit were stretched the lines of Early’s army, rallying here after their defeat. It seemed madness to think of attacking such a position aa that; it seemed so to me, and, I have no doubt, to thousauds of others in our army. Yet it was done, and with triumphant success! How. will be told further on. The hoars wore on into a wild, pleasant autumn day. Our position was rather isolated; the town and the trees and fences, as well as tbe inequalities of the ground, hid whatever bustle and stir tlit-re may have been among the lines of blue which curved away off to our right. Major Curtiss visited us from tbe reserve of the regiment, in­ spected our position, and said he had no further orders. Our p ckot-reservo whs of course idle, and naturally inquisitive: and some of tho woldiers discovering a large vineyard near by, a ramnuy confiscation was made of Rome bushels of grapes for the benefit of this part of the volunteer army. This was all well and proper: what followed was not ho much so. One of those pushing high privates laid his bands Ou a bee-hive, and brought it into the reserve in his arms. One ot the colony within stung him, when time than it takes to wme it, the whole re­ serve wm dixpereed with a fair disfributiou of stings. Four of them fell to my lot The whole scene was the very height of tho ridiculous. Dozens of men were rolling, kicking, and slapping on the ground, others running m if for life, pursued by the in­ furiated insects, and cries of pain mingled with shrieks of langhter. The nearest pickets, obeernng the tumult, naturally supposed the reserve wa< attacked (ns in­ deed it wm , and faced about, ready for n shot. When the insects had satisfied their rage upon us luckless New-Yorkers, they settled in a buzzing cloud directly above the slacks of muskets; and it was full half an hour before we could regain possession of ur arms. The fellow who was at the bottom of all this trouble received, I am glad to say, a liberal share of the stings: and ns the incident created ns much mirth os pain, he escaped any other punishment. About tne middle of the day. when every­ thing wore the most peaceful aspect, an officer of General Emory’s staff rode up. “Tbe General directa," he said, “that you open fire from your picket-line. Be wants to make tbe enemy in Lis front across the river show themselves." I Bent two sergcan's out to the line, to go each way and give the order. “Commence firing; aim anywhere to the front." I had been studying the ground opposite, which sloped from the river back to the mountain*; and not observing the least sign of an en .-my there, I had concluded that there was none. But now, m tbe lively rattle of our picketa* rifles ran up and down along the whole front of half a mde or more, the opposite side of the river was suddenly awakened to life. From behind walls and fences, from clumps ot trees, from the doors and windoww of a brick bouse, whit.* puffs of smoke started up, and we beard the hum­ ming of bullets a:-out us. Tho range was raiser long, but not too long for the rifled musket to kill. Nobody was hit on our side; how it wm ou tbe other ride I do not know. Some of our men in their seal put in double cartridges of powder, aud got lame shoulders iu consequence. But we bad developed the enemy s position oppo­ site; and when they ceaved firing, in half an hour, 1 ordered our pickets to stop. The afternoon passed. I could see no signs yet of anything being done. As it was afterward learnedr what was being done was with the utmost silence snd secrecy. Sheridan oould not fail to observe that from the gigantic MaManuLton'a top, tbe position of every one of his regiments and batteries and every move made by them could be seen. His plan wan much tbe same M that which finished tbe bettie of Winchester: to send the Eighth Corps far to the right, so far that it could climb tbe hill where it sloped toward Little North enemy. —- ------- ---------------------- j.

Nearly threo years previous the gentlenufn had sold him to parties who soon dis­ posed of him, and after exchanging* owners several times, ho had for a few days found a home in tho town -of Greenfield* Tho day bo returned ho was taken from a carriage in tho door­ yard, and after eating a mouthful of “feed" designed for the chickens, tossed his head high in the air, and st a lively gait went tho entire fourteen miles, followed by his now owner, who soon obtained a fleet team at his own vil­ lage, but was one hour behind the horse. A little later the. same family were still more surprised. A mau who was engaged in work about the premises saw a horse come into -the yard, walk up to a building that was formerly the stable, but now used for. another pur­ pose. After gazing through a window, ho looked about outride, aud discover­ ing a handsome now stable, with doors wide open, only a few rods away, ho trotted gracefully up the drive aud took pcsession. The man did not recognize him, and tried to drive him away, but he would­ n't go. Finally, with a halter about bis neck, he succeeded in leading him, but as ho jtersisted in returning, ho asked Mrs. D——, in tho absence of her husband, to look at him, remarking that it must be a horse thfiy had owned before he worked there. Quite a delegation of village people had already visited tbo stable, but all the information gained was simply that he had been seen to pass through tho town: so there was nothing to do but await further developments. The moment Mr. D——, who soon returned from a drive, saw tho horse, he exclaimed to his wife: “Don’t you know him ? Why, this is a colt I sold between ten and eleven years ago, and have regretted it over since. Only the other day I was wondering what became of him." (It was ono of a pair he drove the year before his marriage, and he thought his wife ought to recognize him.) W hen his old mate was brought out, tlie horses showed so much pleasure it was as affecting as witne.tsing his joy wheu his former owner entered tire stable. He had journeyed from Fitch­ burg, Moss., more than twenty miles away, and so far as can be ascertained it was tho first time he had l>een “loose and free" since ho left Wilton so long ago. The present owner had “turned him out to feed,” to find an hour later that bars and fences were not an oppos ng force to a home-sick horse, though hitherto well-bchavod and apparently contented.—Harper’s Magazine.

Co-Operation Among ling'i.xh Working­ men. The co-operative movement began about forty yearx ago. In 1844 tlie twenty-eight Rochdale pioneeers start­ ed a 1 ttle btore on the principle of dividing profits sc. ding to thw amount of purchases. Their business capital was no more than £28, which had been most carefully collected and hoarded. 1 rom these humble begin­ nings the movement has spread among a vast number of the work ng classes throughout England and Scotland. In ita present condition it is no doubt open to some criticism, bnt not even Robert Owen and the Christian social­ ists, including F. D. ilaurioo, C. kings ley, T. Hughes Jjtellow, and E-' Vaiisittirt Keil, who urged the im­ portance of tho matter, could possi­ bly have hoped st the time that codevelopment A few figures will per­ haps be useful as showing the extent to which tbo work has spread. In 186'2 tho amount of sales by co-opera­ tive societies in tho United Kingdom was less than £'2,f>(M),OOU. In 1884 (tho last returns mode out) tho sales amounted to more than L"2H,000,000, the number of societies which made re­ turns of their busineM to tho Central Board was 1.157, aud tho total profits amounted to £2,500,000, and the money applied to education amounted to nearly £'10,000. In tho twenty years (1862-82) the total sales amounted to £275,200,000, and the profits to nearly £22.000,000. All this, it must be re­ membered. is workingmen’s money, snd the whole of this business u man­ aged by workingmen themselves, or through representatives whom they have elected from their own numbers. To show more dearly what an im­ mense hold co-operation has over cer­ tain districts, the fact may be men­ tioned that in tho county of Durham tho members of co-operative societies amount to more than 10 per cent of the total population; in Yorkshire, to 27 per cent.; in Lancashire, to *27 per cent.; in Cumberland, to 24 per cent; and in Northumberland, to 22 i per cent Thus, in some of the great centers of English industry, a large proportion of the working classes are attached to tbe movement.

Ont of the large experience I had os member of a General Court-Martial, I se­ lect the caws of Captain 0., of a Con­ necticut infantrv regiment. It excited much- interest at the time, and is fine of the reminisoencea of army days that is strong iu my memory. Our court-martial was composed of the maximum number of officer* provided by regulations—thirteen, if I rightly remem­ ber—and heard and tried many cases of military offense arising in our division. In the pleasant weather of September and October, 1864, we usually held our ses­ sions under a large tent-fly, at a Ion; pine table, put together by tne headquarters carpenter. When the army moved, we suspened business until it was settled for a week somewhere, when we would’ resume operations. At the battle of Cedar Creek our Judge Advocate was taken prison'-r, and several other members killed or wound­ ed, so that this court was broken up by the enemy, and its unfinished business gone over again before a newly ordered one. I think it was at our camp near Charles­ town. within a stone's throw of the spot where the gallow* of old John Brown waa erected five years before, that Captain C. was brought before us. I suppress his name and regiment out of deference to tbe feelings of one who was a brave and faithful officer, spite of this trouble, and who, I trust, is still living to read this ac­ count. The charge against him was drunkenness on dnty; and the evidence at first seemed to make it ont. It appeared that early one morning, some weeks before, when his reg­ iment moved with tbe division, the C'antaMi was missing from bis company. He had been seen-in camp that morning, and two oft, tho men were sent back to look for him. They found him lying unconscious on the Eund, and perceived, when4hey aroused i. that he was drunk. His arrest, and the charge and trial followed as a matter For the defense, the Captain showed his previous good character and faithful service in the regiment, and that he had been ont on picket all the night before. He could not be sworn as n wilnet-s in his own behalf, but was per­ mitted to make a statement, which he did, very clearly and frankly, about as follows: Tbe pickets had been relieved jnst before the army moved, and he had reached the camp of his regiment while the companies were falling in. His labors on the picket­ line bad been unusually severe; the ene­ my's pickets were supposed to be in the vicinity, and ho had been continually on the line, keeping the men watchful. ' He had had no sleep, and came in exhausted, wet with dew, chilled through, and sick. Somebody offered him a whisky-flask; he took it, aud drank a large dram. Almost overcome with fatigue and the craving for sleep, this potion, which upon most men would have acted ac a slimulant, made him drowsy. He fell asleep, and knew nothing of his condition untiFhe was brought back to the regiment under arrest. Tbe court was cleared for deliberation. According to regulations, the members vote in turn upon the question of guilty ot not guilty, and, if the latter is the judgment, then' upon the sentence. The junior IhS junior memtarv mildly agreed with preferable.

Chlcaffv Garden Seeds in Politics. ✓ Congressman Pfiel, of Arkansas, says it will not do to under rate tbe import­ ance of garden seeds, and he tells of a recent experience to illustrate. The nomination is virtually the election in his district, and the early part of the last campaign was the I'riticul period with him. He entered the contest with a Democrat, who was young, smart and popular. They went about the district together, making a joint canvass for the nomination, and the fight was close enough to become in­ teresting. “r. very where wo went,” says Mr. Feel, ‘‘somebody would come up, shake hand* w.th me and say, ‘I got those seeds, Mr. Peek They turned out firstrate,* or make some sucu acknowledg­ ment This happened so often that I impressed with tbe advantage I had over him. One day we were making speeches, and he referred to the garden seeds. Lu dwelt upon the important duties which should engage a Congress­ man’s attention, and then told of what he had observed. Said he: ’•It seems to me that Mr. Peel must put in ao much time addressing pack­ ages of garden seeds and public docu­ menta to people that he has very little time to give to the weight, issues which should receive attention from your Representative.’ z “l|e made the case pretty strong,’ says Air. Peel, “and haa a good deal of fan at my expense over the seeds. When it came my turn to speak I ex­ plained tbe laudable object of tbe Gov­ ernment in distributing Koed for the benefit of the people, and told of the apportionment that was made to each district. I said: . “ ‘Is is true that I spend a good deal of time in this distribution. I might save the time for other matter*, but tho»e seeds belong to you. They are selected with care by the Government, and the distribution of them is thought to be of great benefit to the agricultu­ ral portions of the country.

Conferenco was called to order at Ctacinnati on Tueeday, Feb. 22, by B. 8. Heath, of Chicago, •Chairman of the Executive Committee, with all .the States represented except six. Ten women were delegates, among them Miss Marion Todd of Battle Creek, Mich., Mrs. Heath of Chicago, and Mrs. Dr. Sev­ erance of Milwaukee. The conference wm opened with prayer by the Rev. Mr. Lockwood, Baptist. <Mr. Richard TrereUick was chosen temporary Chairman. The Rev. Mr. Lockwood made an address of welcome, in which ho said he favored labor organization. The riot at Pittsburgh was the result of labor unor­ ganized—the peaceful strike in New York was the result of labor organized. [Applanso.] The convention by a rising vote gave thanks to,tbo “minister who had tho -courage to speak ns this minister hod done. ” At the evening session a letter was read from Gen. J. B. Weaver, of Iowa, regret­ ting hie inability to be present. Ho sug­ gested that the platform should chiefly re­ late to land, money, .and transportation. He favored the election of Senators of tho Uniiod States by direct vote of tbo people of the States. Ho begged the convention to not put any new and startling principles in the platform. In conclusion he said: “Go ahead; strike hard. * Thv people shall be my people, and thy -God shall be my God.' ” Mr. E. E. Hoaf urged the confer­ ence to declare for prohibition. If that was done the party would have the prayers of every woman in the wholo country, and of every maSb and child who has felt the stfng of the cuno of the open saloon. His address was frequently and heartily ap­ plauded. E. P. Smith, in reply, said if this party should kill tho Prohibition party it would drive 300,000 votes back into the Re­ publican party. These permanent officers were chosen: President, A. J. Streeter, of Illinois; Vice Presidents, Richard F. Trevellick of Michi­ gan, 51. J. Kone of Iowa, B. S. Heath of Illinois. J. H. Allen of Indiana, and others; Secretary. M. D. Show of Missouri; As­ sistant Secretary, W. D. P. Bliss of Mas­ sachusetts; Beading Clerk, George H. Lennon of New York. Mr. C. A. Power of Indiana asked the conference to favor the repeal of tho present pension laws and tho equitable adjustment of tbe soldiers* claims, by which soldiers should be paid the difference between the paper they re­ ceived aud the ralue of gold, every solaieis' discharge to be his pension certificate. A resolution favoring eight hours os a day’s work in all Government. State, and municipal employment was reft "red. Miss Marion Todd of Michigan made a speech in which she said that the laboring mon had been disfranchised by tbe machin­ ations of grinding monopolists and by tbo gross evils of tho wages system of this country. Plunder was not obtained through Special legislation, through officials, through the mtlitla, through the Pinkertons—“what shall I call them?" she asked. (Crier of “ Assassins, ” “Murderers,” “Murdering thieves.”] “I leave the saying of the bad words to the gentlemen," said the speaker. She thought Henry George did not go far enough; that he did not see the evil of the money system. She was heard with in­ tense graiificaiion and given a rousing vote of thanks. . SKCOXD DAT. The business not being pressing, a dele­ gate moved that a gavel be procured for tho use of the chairman, and tho Jote was formally taken aud carried. The Committee on Resolutions not being ready to report, Mr. G. L. Jones, of Wis­ consin, got the floor by consent, and said the main question before the country was to get rid of the public and corporate indebtaess of this country. He supported Us proposition by citing facts to show the great burden on the people caused by the interest-bearing debt. The remedy ho pro­ posed was by law to reduce and to remove that debt. This included a graduated in­ come tax, tbe lending of money by the Government to the States; the States to lend to the counties, and the counties to the smaller municipalities; the Government to lend at 1 per cent, the States al 2 per cent., and the counties at 3 per cent. On motion of Mro. Severance, of Wiscon­ sin, the rules were suspended and Mr. Crocker, of Kansas, was permitted to exthat matter. Mr. Crocker proceeded to read a Preamble reciting the action of Congress with reference to the acquiring of that ground, its grant to the railroad company, and its subsequent forfeiture, and declaring that this land.is now in ths possesiion of a vast cattle syndicate by undue influence of the United States courts, the army and oth­ er officers, and closed by a resolution se­ verely censuring the action of the present administration, and demanding the passage of the now pending Oklahoma bill, and if this CongreM does not pass this bill, then requesting the President to convene the next Congress in extra session to pass tho bilk Mr. Crocker then, in on impassioned the Oklahoma colonists. His point wm that the railroad corporation and the cattle syndicate wore holding possession of that country by the power of a military mob. He would not call it an array; it wm b mili­ tary mob. He pictured tho peaceful pur- sold tbe gross outrages inflicted on them— arrested, subjected to indignities; in one cam resulting in death to the wife of one of these men seeking a home. He closed with the hope that his resolutions, vrhen presented for action, would be adopted without a dissenting vote. Calls were made for Jesse Harper, of Illinois, and he appeared and made a ring­ ing and characteristic speech, the chief burden being the wrong caused by the wat­ ered stock of the railroad and telegraph monopolies. He declared that the coming child of promise would swear by all the gods that there shall be no freight or passenger rotes on watered stock.

The magic and value of gMtronomfc odors lies m this, that they vtimulaie the flow of saliva and other alimentary juices, thus making sure that the food eaten will be thoroughly utilized in renovating the ayatetn. This stimu­ lating effect of gastronomic odors also euplaine the French saving that the appetite comes while eating, m well m our habit of reserving sweetmeats, nuta, cheese, etc., for the' end of a meal, when rich odors .are needed to brace up tbe flagging appetite. So great and salubrious a is the effect of gMtronomfc odors in stimulating all the glands and functions ot tho body that a dinner of savory, fragrant courses may produce in the diner a feeling of warmth -and exhilaration resembling tho effects of wino, but with none of tho depressing after effects following excessive indulgence in that liquor. And, thus it cornea about that the epi­ cure in search of "ignoble ploMure" findy it the source of ho.ilth and of general contentment with the world. A few widely prevalent erroneous notions concerning epicures must be corrected in this place. One is that they incline to gluttony and intemper­ ance. But a true epicure would no more dream of taking away the sharp edge of future appetite by overindulgeuce than a barber would of opening a tin can with a razor. Ha weighs his pleMures and pains too nicely to be caught in such vioes. Another is that an epicure always needs the choicest delicacies to stimulate his appetite. On the contrary, tho art of epicurism consists in the ability to get plcMuro out of the most commonplace articles of food, by preparing and eating them properly. Of course, the epicure pre­ fers Chamberlin to Macon, and canvas­ back duck to roa^t goose, for the same reason that he prefers a wood violet to that of a coarse hot-house flower; but, on the other hand, ho alone knows what an Oriental rose garden of magic per­ fumes may be found in the simplest crust of whole-meal or Graham bread and butter; though ordinary mortals may easily convince themselves of their existence by eating a slice and allowing the exhaled air to pass slowly through the nose. From an olfactory point Of view, it seems, agreeable aliments may bo di­ vided into two classes—those which ore more fragrant externally and those which develop superior odors after they are crushed by the teeth or tongue. Strawberries, apples, and peaches have a more refined and flower-hke fragrance before they aro put in the mouth than after. Cheeses, on the other hand, are not generally regarded as fragrant until they aro eaten. Tho odor of Limburgor is insupportable to many, who, after they have once courageously smuggled it past tho nasal fortress, find it very appetizing and good. But tho most curious illustration between exoteric and esoteric odors, so to speak, is tho tropical fruit called tho durion. Exter­ nally it resembles Limburger, in hav­ ing an intensely disagreeable odor, but during mMtication it yields “wafts of flavor that call to mind cream cheese, onion sauce, brown sherry, and other incongruities," according to Mr. A. R. Wallace, who adds that “tho more you eat of it the loss you feel inclined to stop; in fact, to oat durion is a rare sensation, and is worth a voyage to the East to experience.” The disagreeable external odor is in this cmo evidently neutralized by tho fragrance that is sot free os tho'fruit is crushed in *the ’ mouth.—Contemporary Review. Marvelous Horsemanship. A St 'Petersburg correspondent, writing to the London Standard, says; “This morning I witnessed a wonder­ ful display of horsemanship. It took place in the Petroffsky Park. Here, in tho presence of the Grand Duke Nicholas and most of the foreign' offi­ cers and guests, the regimept of Cos­ sack Guards went' through an extraor­ dinary scries of exercises which throw the most daring feats ol tho circus into the shade. The entire regiment passed at full gallop, in loose order, with many of the mon standing upright in their saddles, others upon their heads with legs in the air, many leaping upon the ground and then into the saddle again at full speed, some springing over thoir horses’ heads and picking up stones from tho ground, and yet re­ gaining their seat While performing these feats all were brandishing their tabors and firing pistols, throwing their carbines into tho air and catching them again, and yelling like maniacs. Some men went pMt iu pairs, standing with a leg on each other’s horses—one wild fellow carried off another dressed m a woman. The effect of the aceno wm absolutely bewildering, and it seemed m if the whole regiment had gone mod. Upon a signal being given, the regi­ ment divided into two parts. One rode off; then halted and made their hones lie down on the ground beside them, waiting as in war the approach of the enemy. The other section of the regiment then charged down, and in an instant every horse was or. his feet, every rider in his saddle, and with a wild yell they rode at their supposed enemy. When tho maneuvers were over, the regiment rode pMt, singing, and uncommonly well together, a mili­ tary chorus. Altogether, it wm a mar­ velous exh bition of daring horseman­ ship. and one hardly knew whether to admire the docility and mettle of the steeds, or the skill and courage of the riders. All the foreign officers and guests were no less astonished than de­ lighted.

When Zach Chandler and his wife and daughter were in England during Mr. Motley’s career as Minuter, he asked to be presented at court, and al­ though he wm then a Senator of the United States and a personal friend of Gen. Grant's, Minister Motley refused to do it His refusal wm grounded on what he held should be the personal refinement and culture of the Ameri­ cans selected for the high honor of bowing before the Queen, Zach Chan­ dler's grammar wm uneven, his speech marked by many idioms of the self­ made Westerners, and his manners bad not the grace and polish that Mr. Mot­ ley considered indispensable. This re­ fusal to present at court being all in the same political party, m it were, did not attain the publicity of the PhelpsRice incident of the last summer, but it doubtless led to the downfall of Mr. Motley quite m much m anything that Gen. Bodeau Iim related in his recent chapters on the historian-diplomat.— A KKCEJrr writer in the American Machinist goes for the fusible plugs in boilers. He says that they will, by the action of heat, become hard and refuse to melt, and that they sometimes be­ come covered by mud and melt slowly, when some one is hauled up for carry­ ing low water.

If the senses are taken seriatim it will be evident that they are not paral­ lel, in men and women. The latter pos­ sess, in • much greater degree, the perfection of the sense of touch; those occupation* that require extreme deli­ cacy of manipulation, such as lace­ making, embroidery, bead-stringing, etc., are therefore usually followed by women. As regards the sense of hear­ ing, we aro not aware of any experi­ ments or observations on the relative perfection of tho sense in tbe two sexes; and the same may be said as regards tho sense of sight, which appears to be equally acute in women imd in men. In the extreme delicacy of taste it is probable that men excel Whether they do so naturally, or in consequence of tho cultivation of men's palates is, perhaps, a moot question; but that they excel not only as gourmands but also as gourmo s may be accepted as an established fact, and the accurate perception of the delicate, shades of diflerence di-tinguishing different brands aud vintages of wine is much more frequently found in men than in women. As regards the sense of smeM, some exceedingly conclusive experi­ ments have been made by some Amer­ ican savants which appear to subvert our preconceived opinions, lhe ex­ periments were performed with prussic acid and other strongly odorous sub­ stances on forty-four male* and thirty­ eight females, and it was found that in nearly all cases the sense of smell was about double as acute in men as in women. The cause of the difference in th’s matter between men and women is Suite unknown, as is the object of the istinction; but it has one practical a bearing that may be borne in mind.* Tbe employment of strong and potent perfumes by women may depend on their less acute sense of smell; and they would do well to bear in mind the fact that odors and perfume* which may be quite pleasant to them may be almost overpowering and decidedly un­ pleasant to individuala of tho other sex. —The London Queen.

The result is a staggering blow to tbe Tory Government and policy, and will be disastrous to the Irish landlords. Ten­ ants who have hitherto held back from adopting the plan of campaign, which is no mon- than a against unjust rents aud pooling of * issues by tenants, so to say, will be emboldened to adopt it now, and the landlords will have to meekly surrender or go without any rents whatever. During tho past few months a new fprm of agitation hu arisen in Ireland. Ihe autumn and winter have been a season of distress to the Irish tenants of land, who have found it hard to pay the rent due by them to their landlords. The chief cause of this is the fact that the prices of the products raised on Irish soil have fallen during the past year, while the amount of rent, on many of the estates, hM remained at the same figure. While, then, lhe ten­ ants have received less for their labor, they have been expected to nay the same as be­ fore for their, land. Kents on very many Irish estates have been lowered during the past five or six year* by the land courts, appointed under the land act of 1881. But tuese lowered rents were fixed at a time when products brought higher prices than they do now. 'lhe difficulty which the tenants have had in paying their rente suggested a new plan to' some of the Irish Nationalists, espe­ cially to two meml-era of Parliament, Mr. John Dillon and Mr. William O'Brien, and they organized wbat is now notorious M “the plan ot campaign.” Il w tho purpone of this plan to protect the tenants from paying to the landlords * rent which the organizeni of the movement regarded os too high. In brief, it wm proposed that the tenants should pay into the hands of ce»tai.. designated member* of tbe National League—among others Meoare. Dillon and O'Brien—what was considered a fair rent for the lands they tilled. Money thus re­ ceived was to be held as a trust The trus­ tees were to proffer to the landlords what they regarded in each case as fair rent; and if the landlords refused to accept it, the trustees were to hold tho money for the benefit and support of the tenant* who had paid it in. Tbo “plan of campaign" wm carried on successfully in many cases. Mr. Dillon and others went from place to place and called meetings of the tenants, who flocked in and paid into their hands tho sums agreed upon as fair rente. At the same time inflammatory speeches were made, and the agitation became an excited and •erions one. But the Government would not allow it to go on. Mr. Dillon wm ar­ rested and arraigned, and one ot the Irish Judge* declared the plan of campaign to be a conspiracy against the law, and there­ fore a crime. But Mr. Dillon, when set Good Word for the Choir. First Worshipper—Why are you wearing those big thick earmuffs, Smith ? it isn't cold.

The tomato has a curious history, j Native of South Amerias, like the po­ tato, it ia said to have been introduced into England aa early as 1596. Many years elapsed before it waa used as food, and the botanical name given to it was significant of the estimation in which it waa held by our forefathers. It was called Lycoperaicum—a comindicating that, notwithstanding its beauty, it was regarded as a sort of “Dead Sea fruit." The Italians first dared use it freely, the French followed •nd after eying jt as-ance as a novelty for unknown years, John Bull ventured to taste, and'naving survived, began to oat with increasing gusto. To our grandmothers in this land the ruby fruit was given aa “love-apples," ,and adorning quaint old bureaus, were de­ voured by dreamy eyes long before canning factories were within tho ken of even, a Yankee’s vision. Now, to­ matoes via with the potato as a general article of food, ana one can scarcely visit a quarter of tbe globe so remote but he will find that the tomato can has been there before him. Ita culture is bo easy that cue year I had bushels of the finest fruit from plants that grew here and there by chance. Skill is re­ quired only in producing an early crop, and to secure this end tho earlier tho Elanta aro started in tho spring the etter. Those who have glass will ex­ perience no difficulty whatever. The seed may be sown in a greonbo-.ise as early aa January, and tho plants potted whan three inches high, trans­ ferred to larger {iota from time to time as they grow, and by tho middle o?

They also grow readily in hot­ beds, cold frames, and sunny windows. Wo usually can buy woll-forwarded plants from those who raise them for salo. If these plants are sot out early in May on a sunny slope they mature rapidly and give an early yield. The tomato is very sensitive' to frost, and should not bo’ in the open ground be­ fore danger from it is over. Through­ out May wo find plants for sale every­ where. If we desire to try distinct kinds with the least trouble, wo can sow the seed about May 1 and in our climate enjoy an abundant yield in Sep­ tember or before. In the cool, humid climate of England tho tomato is usual­ ly grown en eapnlier, like tho iioach, Along sunny walls and fences, receiving us careful a summer pruning as the grape vine. With us they are usually loft to sprawl over the ground at will. By training the vines over various kinds of supports, however, they can lie made as ornamental as they arc use­ ful. The ground on which they grow should be only moderately fertile, or else there is too great a growth of vino at the expense of fruit. This is especially true if we wish an early yield, and in that case the warmest, driest soil is necessary.—E. P.

The luminous meteor tracks are in the upper part of the earth’s atmos­ phere. Few, if any, appear at a height greater than J(H( miles, and few aro seen below a height of 30 miles from the earth's surface, except in rare cases j where stones and iron fall to the ground. All these meteor tracks aro caused by bodies which come into the air from above. 2. The velocities of tho meteors in tire air are comparable with that of the earth in its orbit about the sun. It is. not easy to determine the exact values of those velocities, yet they may be roughly stated as from 50 to 250 times the velocity of sound in the air or of sa cannon ball. 3. It is a necessary consequence &f these velocities that the meteors move about the sun and not about the earth os the controlling body. 4. There are four comets related to four periodic star-showers that come on the dates of April 20, August 10, vernber 14. and November 27. The me­ teoroids which have given ns any one of these star-showers constitute a group each individual of which moves in a path which is like that of tho corres­ ponding comet. The bodies are, how­ ever, now too far from one another to influence appreciably each other’s mo­ tions. 5. The ordinary shooting stars in their appearance and phenomena do not differ essentially from the individuals in star-showers. 6. The meteorites of different falls differ from one another in their chemi­ cal composition, iu their mineral forma, and in tiieir tenacity. Yet through all those differences they have peculiar common properties which distinguish them entirely from all terrestrial rocks. 7. Tho most delicate researches have failed to detect any trace of organic life in meteorites. These propositions have practically universal acceptance among scientific men.--Nature. , TRAVEL VIA Through Trains teith Dining Ct MAM »rt* trains fr ast. West. DENVER. SAN FRANCISCO, IST.

Henry Ward Beechor waa stricken Sb apoplexy al his home in Brooklyn on tardiiy. March 5, and lingered until tbe following Tuesday, when death relieved him of bls sufferings. During these three days tbo great preacher lay in a comatose condition, surrounded by tho members ot his family and physicians. His faithful wife was by bis bedside almost continuously from the hoar he was stricken by the fatal illness. Dr. Searlo made the following statement in regard to the distinguished, di­ vine's last hours: “Mr. Beecher began to fail decidedly at 3 o’clock Tuesday morning. His respira­ tion was rapid. At 4 o'clock the family was summoned. Death came slowly and stealth­ ily. .fBi’ respiratioii.* gradually became faster and faster until they reached sixty a minute. His pulse was variable and often reached 140. He still remained is the same -condition except as to breathing, his eyes -closed, and he was entirely unconscious. The motions of tho right arm became less frequent, and were finally slopped almost entirely. About 9 o'clock in the morning we could detect the first symptoms of im­ mediate death. His pulse ran up still higher, flickered, and fluctuated until 9:28, two ustnutee before his death. His pulse •ceased almoM entirely at the wrist, gethcr There was a rattle in his throat, painful to those around, him. but unlelt by him. owing to the ftilure of the servo center of the reapiratory organa, to­ gether with the failure of tho heart's action. Hit death wm very easy, a« painless if not as pleasant as death from suffocation or by­ drowning is said to be.” ' [New York telegram.) The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher died at ■9:30 o'clock Tuesday morning surrounded •by all tbe members of his family except those for whom distance or sickness made it impossible to reach his bedside. S. V. White and E. A. Seacomb of Plymouth Church and Maj. J. B. Fond were also present when death’s summons came. The family hail been summoned to the death bed early in the morning by Dr. Searle, who detected the signs of rapidly approaching dissolution. At about 8 a. m. Sir. S- V. White announced to those gath■cred before the bouse that the end was very near, and eren then tho sobs of the sorrowing family could be beard all through the house. At V;30 o'clock Dr. Searle, who had been holding one of Mr.' Beecher's hands, said: “Mr. Beecher is no more; ht is dead.’’. It is difficult to describe tho scene at this moment Not\v ithstanding tho fact that his death wm looked for, that it had been ex­ pected hourly, it seemed to <»mo with such crushing force that tho family were completely prostrated with grief. They could not bring themselves to the cod re­ alization that the kindly voice of the husband, father, and grandfather was forever hushed in death, and that they had only the remembrance of his kind admonitions. Mrs. Beecher, who bad borne up ao bravely from tho first, and who hod watched so constantly at the bed■aide of her dying husband, was utterly broken down, and when supported by her •on Harry, us she tottered from the room, looked aA if it would not be long before she would follow her beloved husband. No crape was hung on the door of Mr. Beecher's late huxne to announce that the -great oralor wm no more. Mr. Beecher had always expressed a dislike ot this cus­ tom and of The gloom associated with ■crape in the nreeence of death.

It is half a century ago since Henry Word Beecher, then boyiah-looking and aged 24 yearn, preached his first sermon, and his maidan effort waa delivered before an ex­ tremely orthodox congregation of Presby­ terians in a little white frame church at Lawrenceburg, Ind. It ia probable that morn than coin pensated for byTiui natarai ului ty and hi* energy as,a Mutest. At any rate be en­ tered the ministry the most scholarly man of tbe three, and from tbe very hrs'i sermon nreached by him before the f.'cmgrugat onalista ot Brooklyn to the day < f his death he made hia power felt, not only In the church to which ho became attached, but his ideas exerted a wouihriul influence upon all other denominations. Mr. Beecher's fame became familiar threra.hout the length and breadth of the luitd in a short time, und the Plymouth Church, which soon became known as “Beecher's church,” mm enlarged to accommodate the tremendous' crowds which gathered to hear the eloquent preacher. He spoke on all topics or cm rent or national interest; he at­ tacked abuses and criticised poblicuuu; he opened up his battery of satire upon the institution of slavery, and denounced the American Govern­ ment for ‘not wiping out tbe great stain upon tho nation; took hold of the abolition movement, aud Invited the slaves of the South to strike for liberty, declaring, that every one of them who entered New York would be protected; ridiculed the slave party in Congress; called the slave­ owners vulgar traders in human flesh, and, iu a word, aid everything within his power to bring down odium upon the South, and to raise tho feeling ia-the -North to such a pitch that a clash would lx? inevitable be­ tween tho two sections und the slave Ques­ tion finally settled forever. He had no doubt us to the ability of the North to bring the South to terms’ and ho' looked forward to tho inevitable struggle with con­ fidence. Beecher's name became famous among the abolitionists and obnoxious among the slaveholders. He was admired by half the country ;md thoroughly hated by the other half. But enemies as well as friends thronged to hear him, and although the Plymouth Church had sealing ca­ pacity for 3,000 persons the aisles were often filled, and hundreds of people stood up'm nave and galleries during tbe delivery of what may bo appropri­ ately termed bin great religio-political lect­ ures. During the years of excitement which preceded the Southern rebellion, and dur­ ing tbe rebellion itself, bo maintained that slavery must be abolished at any cort. When the war broke out ho did perhaps as much an any other man in the coanti^ to inspire the people with patriotism and en­ thusiasm. ami bin discourses always con­ tained more politics than religion. After the war he settled down more close­ ly to tho discussion of purely religious top­ ics, but now and then he departed from the well-worn scriptural paths, and launched off into politics, political and social econo­ my, questions of international law and trade, and, in short, there was scarcely a topic before the public upon which be did not give h:s views, whether it concerned the local government of Brooklyn or the claims of the United States against Great Britain. Mr. Beecher hod for a number of years been a regular contributor to the columns ot religious aud family newspapers, nnd out of one of these connections a scandal arose in 1874 which greatly impaired his influence and for a time threatened to destroy it en­ tirely. Mr. Beecher was a prolific and always an interesting and instructive writer.’ He began by contributing to tho Cincinnati Journal, a religious weekly, of which he afterward became editor. He was a con­ stant contributor to tho Indepmdent from tho date of its establishment in 1858, and from 18GI to 1883 he was its chief editor. He wrote also for tbe Farmer uud Har­ dener, and contributed to other agricultural newspapers, forming being one of his numerous hobbies. For a number of years hr- edited and was part proprietor of the Christian Union, which, undifr his man­ agement, became a valuable property, and he contributed weekly sketches and a novel to Mr. Bonner's New York Ledger. His principal published works are: “Lectures to ^oung Mei;,” “Life Thoughts," “Sermons on Liberty and War," “Tho Pljmouth Collection of Hymns aud Tunes,” "Royal Truths," “Eyes and Ears,” “Star Papera," "Norwood, a Novel," snd a largo number of volumes of “Plymouth Sermons.” His greatest and most pretentious undertaking was a life of Christ, which was never completed accord­ ing to contract, and which resulted in a large amount of litigation between himself, his publisher, and their successors. The changes which have come over Mr. Beecher's theological views during the lust ton years are so fresh in the minds of the people that it is not necessary to particu­ larize them hero. It is enough to say that he has been at times on the very verge of infidelity nnd al times in tbo very core of- orthodoxy. His congregation was not a particular one respecting ques­ tions of religion. It cayed more for the man than the doctriues which ho preached. It was a sensational congregation, and it admired him because he satisfied its demands fur something at once unique, seasational, and interesting. They are few who can call his.doctrines sound, and there are many who will pronounce his teachings pernicious, but bo was always assured, no matter how radical or bow liberal his views might be, of tho support ot that portioa of the American people who have no settled opinkrns of their own about religion or a future state. He became popular with a large class by denying the existence of a hell and making the sinners of his congre­ gation fuel as comfortable m possible tor the time being. Mr. Beecher visited Europe thrice, but has never traveled extensively abroad. As a lecturer he was very successful, and ac­ cumulated a large fortune in this way alone. He wns a man of fine appearance in early life, but of late years be became rather corpulent and lost considerable of that sprig tidiness which his congregation so much admired. _____ [Blsmarek (Dak.) special.

Tho water gas of trade is the theoretical gaa, although anthracite coal is used instead of char­ coal enriched with volatile hydro­ carbons, in order that it may possess luminonr properties. The practice of some gas companies is to mix the gas of tbe old process with a large volume of water gas, and still keep within the limit of the law. Home companies with 2,000 cubic feet of coal gas mix 1,000 feet of the water ga*. and then subject the mixture to the old modes of purifi­ cation.

As a result, carburetted water gas passes out at the top ot the tower, and u con­ ducted into a second tower to undergo a process known as scrubbing.

I hardly think that ,G«riy’s Tramp, as wo ealled him, would £ave • been tolerated around our place for a week, save for the all-powerful protection which she persisted in acccruing him. v But, as it was, we gradually grew accus­ tomed to him, and when he suddenly devel­ oped professional skill as a tinsmith—ns ho did ono day by the merest accident—in seal­ ing up tomato cans, preserve jars, and tho - like, besides tinkering the kitchen ware, ho became of retd use Io us. and at last recog­ nized as a fixture at Tho Maples, an my snug villa on the Hudson was called. Hk name was Ichabod Flotsam, as tie told Gerty soon after being taken undei her wing. After that we mostly called him Ike, except tho little girl herself, who always ad jp-fcoeii him or of him aa Ichabod With much seriousness of manner. •Gerty, I would say, in passing, is our only child; a precocious, old-womanish, wise little maid of twelve summers, but with tbe ways and manners of many an ex­ perienced housewife of thrice her years, und whoso slightest wish is mostly law with both her mother and myself. On tho summer evening when Ichabod Flotsam first shambled up to our gate, beggin,’ for food and employment in a thia, far-away voice, he was tbe most un­ attractive specimen of the genue trump, of the listless, kuock-knecd, bow-backed, furtive-eyed variety, it had ever been our misfortune to meet. We gave him plenty io eat and n place in tho barn to sleep. Thereafter, ns ho grew fixed upon us, I had u cot rigged up for him in a disused tool-room over the coach-house, and in a •bort time his lugubrions personality betune almost as familiar anti twice cm homely as tbo pump or the clothes-wires. “Icliabod has been very saving of his Asscte, nnd not without a purpose,” slid •he, gravely. "He is about to send to Pitts­ burgh for a carpet-bag containing valuable papers. Tho Demon of Debt compelled his leaving it there last spring. He has also written and mailed an Epistle, whose address he concealed from even Me.” The carpet-bag arrived by express in duo course of time. Thereafter, for a week or more, according to Gerty, Ichabod's leisure hours were employed in reading and re­ reading tho letters which it contained. “Tbo documents must be of Vast snd Mysterious import," said Gerty ono day. "Ichabod has twice admitted mo to ius Apartment while ho reads them. They are all in one handwriting, which I judge must be a Female's. I think a Crisis must be at Hand.” On tho following afternoon a letter came tor Ichabod, in my care. It was in a fash­ ionable envelope, and tho address was in a woman's hand. That evening he asked leave to go on the following morning to G--------- , to remain perhaps till Thursday. I readily granted »t, at the same limo paying him a few dollaxs owing to him, and expressed the hopo that his letter had brought him good nows. “I ain't sure yet if it’s good or bad, sir,” «aid he; “but it’s made an apixrintment with n—a certain party I'm very desirous of meeting." Ho loft for G------ on foot at on early hour in tho morning, and I myself quitted home shortly after, intending to pass the 4ay with a friend at H------ , the river landtag. which was about as far to the north of us as was G------ , the railroad town to the In the middle of the day, during my ab­ sence, my wife and daughter were visited by a comely, bright-eyed, business-like UV. who had driven from H------ ^in a hired coach, nnd who rather astonished fliem by raying: “I am •.Bchna Graves, a near relative of the young man, Ichabod Flotsam, whom a have been kindly employing for-some past. I had an appointment to meet him at the steamboar landing this morning, but he was not there. I drove right here, thinking be might be sick." '“There must be some mistake about the place of meeting," said my wife. “Ichabod •et out this morning for the railroad sta­ tion at G——, to meet someone from whom he received a letter yesterday." “Dear inc, how unfortunate!" said Miss Graves; • though maybe it wus my fault— writing one thing and meaning another. I could almost vow that I appointed to meirt him at the river, instead of the railroad. . But I must drive after him, poor fellow* How far is it to G---- , pray? and have you some one who will direct tho hackman which road to take?" •Certainly. It is only abont the same distance you have already driven," said my wife. “But will you not take off your tilings and rest a little?” Tbe offer waa politely declined, though tho visitor seemed suddenly overcome, and applied her handkerchief to her eyes. 'Ichabod has had a terribly hard time of ti," said she, recovering; “and I made so •ertum of aeoing him at once that thia dis­ appointment is very trying. Pray, bear srith mo a little, madam. And then, suddenly starting up, she ex­ ataimed: “By the way, my oou-in was to bring with him a number uf letters which he has lately received, and, from what I texnember of his forgettnlne-s, he baa as like as not forgotten them. 1 wiab I could •florttng ua both- Indeed, witbout them I hardly think I can effort the delicate talk W reoaneiiustiou—between him aud others "Ichabod took nothing with him but his Walking Stick, ma’am,” interposed Gerty. *The letters make such a large Package that he could not have pni them in his iris Guardian.” MIm Graves, not being familiar with our My wife hefatated.

A "great deal of good blood ^woa spilled without the slightest reafcon»fpr it, and money was squandered, and thousands of soldiers put to unneces- sary toil and danger and discomfort, with­ out the least apparent prospect of any good coming from it These truths are.staied, not in a fault­ finding way, but in order that the famous Rod River expedition of the spring of 1864 may be set down At the bead of the list, as ill-conceived,-useless, blundering, and dis­ creditable. ’ All this mny be said without casting the blame on any particular one of the Gen­ erals* who accompanied the expedition. ■Their battles have been fought over and over again ou paper, and we will not judge where the fault lay, that some twenty-five or thirty thousand good soldiers bad to re­ treat before on enemy inferior in numbers, with the unmerited stigma of defeat to fol■ low them into history. Blunders were mode by tbe Generals—dreadful blunders— but we will not try to fix tbe responsibility. There was stout fighting done by all the J troop*, both Eastern aud Western, and Sa­ bine Cross Roads and Pleasant Hill were by no taeans Confederate victories, al­ though our army was compelled to fall back to -Alexyidrm. Tho great weakness of the whole cam­ paign was that it was ever commenced at all. Aa soon as Grant, iu command of all the armies, learned of this silly expedition, he wot orders countermanding it; but tho thing had gone so far that his orders never reached us until we were almost bock to the Mississippi. Twenty-Aye thousand good soldiers, the heroes ot Vibksburg and Fort Hudson, sent off almost beyond civilisation, away up in­ to the pine woods of Northwest Louisiana, where there was nothing to be gained, noth­ ing to be held, to hunt around after an am­ bushed enemy! They could have done about as much good to the Union cause if they had taken a tour into tne-pine woods of Michigan. I had an opportunity, the year alter the close of the war, to ask General Banks if he designed this movement. He replied that be did not: but that suggestion* and bints came to him in such a way from Washington that ho clearly understood what was wanted. So the expedition was ’f . &adc; and when it proved a failure tbe i Washington people stepped out and left some of the Generals to be scapegoats; and • then, as stated, severe blame belongs to > some of tbe Generals for their almost crim­ inal carelessness—and, in brief, we will < leave the whole wretched business where history leave* jx, in an inextricable Mate. ‘ Our soldiers. East end West, fought nnd . 'buffered nobly, and illustrated the great capacifies of the volunteers. They should . have no quarrel over iL ♦ ' But there was one episode in that wretch<f<l expedition in which every soldier in tkat ’ army may take the highest pride. It was the rescue ot Admiral Porter's whole fleet ‘from capture at Alexandria. Nothing like this achievement occurred anywhere else t during tho war. It was an exploit standing by itself, so novel, bo apparently impossible, that tbe people hare never understood it, aud never half appreciated the great servlittle On the 25th of April tbo army entered Alexandria in good order, on the retreat. It was not pursued by the Confederates; but when we marched out on tbe 13th of May to continue the retreat, we found them between us and tbe Mississippi, and had to fight our way out. Between these dates bstt^rios had been planted on tbe lied River below Alexandria,and HteamlKints had nications thus cut off from all pointe be­ low, the quartion will bw asked, Why did the army remain eighteen days at Alexan­ dria. instead of instantly moving and scat­ tering the hostile forces in the way? . i The answer gives title to this sketch. It was that-we might save tbe navy. Exact figureii are not >ust now accessible; but it may be stated that Admiral Porter brought up tbo lied River from the Missis­ sippi a dosen good gunboat, which went supplies ala the woods ■ enemy’s bands. It waa the best port of the Mississippi squadron. Ita loss at that time would have been a most disastrous blow to the United States. Not only would it have been the total destruction of ml lions of dollars’ worth of property, but the blockade of tho Mississippi would hare been crippled. The great river conld not have been kept open without tbetn or the r Equivalent, and the Navy Department had not their equivalent to spare. But what was to be done? What could be done? Mark the situation. The Red River just above Alexandria runs with a current of nine miles an hour. There is a descent of a mile, called the "Falla," or “Itapida," in which, at that- season of low water, great black rocks showed their ugly heads above the surface. Above tbo rapids the gunboat fleet was, to all appearance, hopelessly stranded. The sABore knew of no way to help themselves. ’ r In this crisi*. on astonishing plan was proposed by the army. It wa* to dam up the river from each aide, bo as to raise the water above, by which means the gunboats would be floated, and he enabled to pass through an opening of fiftr-fivo feet in the middle of the dam to the deep water below. “Tire proposition looked like madness;, aud the best engineers ridiculed it," writes Admiral Porter. Yet in eleven days the army uccompliabed thin herculean work, released the unprisoned gunboats, and sent them on their way rejoicing to the Missis’"Ke whblc annals of military engineer­ ing, ancient or modern, may well be chal­ lenged to match this exploit; tbe labors of any and all armies may be naught for in vain to furnish anything bo stupendous of this kind. Tbe achievement filled tho Confederates with amazement. They realized ita im­ portance. if the people of the North did not. And the residents of the vicinity, seeing our array 4hu» bring the forcee of nature into subjection, mildly wondered if there was anything that those cursed Yankwn couldn’t do. The credit of planning this wonderful work is given to Lieutenant Colonel Bailey, of the Fourth Wisconsin, then engineer of tbe Nineteenth Corp*. Ha is since dead, and no one would wish to rob his memory of this rare honor. But it will not detract from his just fame to state that there were men carrying muskets in that army who were perfectly familiar with the principle of the scheme, and who had actually helped to put it in practice on the Susquehanna River, in releasing a steamboat stranded at low water. Iu his testimony before the Committee on the Conduct of the War, General Emory stated that he also beard the idea advanced by a soldier of the One Hundred nnd Fourteenth New York, who came to him with iL He had helped try it. with suc­ cess, on the SuB<iuehanua,which he thought a much more difficult stream for the ex­ periment than tbe Red. * The name of that man ought to go into history, for the incident shows the nlmobt boundless capabilities of the meu who compos-d the Union armies. They could do anything; they were never at fault. Over at Algiers, opposite New Orleans, when a New England regiment were starting out to repair the dismantled railroad, the engineer of the train declared that he sympathized with the South, and would not serve tbe Yankee*. General Butter ordered him iu irons, and asked if there was anybody in the regiment who would undertake to run the train. A full dozen practical engineers iurtantly stepped out. The mnn who conceived the idea of the dam simultaneously with Colonel Bailey, was Sergeant Theodore Evans, of Bain­ bridge, Chenango County, New York. He is also deceased. But lo conceive this idea was one thing, and to put it into practical operatioa was another. Without the full and hearty co­ operation of the men nothing could be ac­ complished. Would they give it? They answered that question fully, nobly. They laid aside their muskets, and man­ fully undertook a work which was simply appalling in its magnitude. For eleven days, three thousand soldiers worked in reliefs, night and day, to dam the Red River and float the gunboat* off the shallow*. Rations and forage were al­ most exhausted; what was done must be done instantly, for the army could not stay here and starve. The men worked like beavers. They chopped down acres of timber. They tore down all the neighbor­ ing milk, to get brick and stone. XS agons ou the roads and flat-boate on the river were plying incessantly, bringing in the mateital. From the Alexandria side of tbe river a dam was built out three hundred feet. It was made of tho trunks of large tries, brushwood, stone, and brick, crossed with other limber, and strengthened in every possible way. At the end of this, four ! large ca*l-barges were sunk, filled with > stone and brick. Fiotu the opposite bank, crib* filled with stone were built out to the barge*. The plan had been to make the dam clear aero**, and then, m the water raised, blow a gap in tbe middle with a torpedo, but the pressure of the water wa* so great that two of tho barges were curried away, making on interval through which four of tbe gunboate successfully paased. Tho width of the river at this point wm nix hundred feet; and after this experience Colonel Bailey deemed it impracticable to put tbe dam clear across. The gap wm left, and three cesiiful, snd nine more gunboats nnd two tugs passed down into deep water. Tbe bare mentioa of these details convers no adequate idea of the labor* of tbe •oldier*. They worked under the burning sun, and in the cold dew* of night by tbe light of lantern*. They were in water >11 the tune; korortime* it wm above their wbwui.

Ho took the address, and wont at an early day to seo the prodig^-.- On entering tho house referred to, and proseuting his card, he was at once ushered into a drawing-room. He there saw two cages—nightingale cages—suspended on tho wall. One of them, with a nightingale in it, had an open front; the other hod a green curtain drawn down over.the front concealing tho in­ mate. After a little conversation on ornith­ ology, the host asked him if ho should like to hear ono of his nightingales sing. Of course he was all expecta­ tion.

We dismounted, and. tying my homo to a fence-post, I advanced on that smoke-house, when, behold, it was locked; but, not wishing to be balked of my contemplated feast, 1 ran back and then forward, and planted both feet against it, when the door gave wnt with a crash.

Yesterday we visited a session of tbe house of representatives, and could pot help but contrast the remarkable acene with our own Michigan legislature. Some twelve foot from tbe entrance a fence runs clear acrosa the chamber, an a sort of a bar, we imagine, between citizen and legislator. In tbe center uf this fence wm a gate, guarded by a dirty, tobacco-chewing negro, who sat on the inside and held the rate shut by a black rope held with determination and both hands. A number of seedy* looking spectators stood leaning upon the fence intently engaged iu watching the law-makers and squirting tobacco juice upon the Poor. Several frait and cigar stands were in this part .'and tbe atone floor, littered with apple and orange peelings, cigar stubs aud CoIm*cco quids waa woeful to contemplate, it.was not a place we could long con­ tent ourselves in. and we tried the gate.

[Kansu City spsoiaLI Willie Bell, the 16-year-old bov. who wu convicted lut July of murdering his father, mother, brother and sister, near the town of Erie, Ku., hu made a confession, in which he saya that his father, J. W. Sell, a well-to-do farmer, was killed by his broth­ er, and that he (Willie)killed his brother to revenge his father, and afterward killed his mother and sister. The murdera were commilted at night, and the first information of the tragedy was given by the murderer, who awaked a neighbor and told him some man wu hurting his father and mother. The bodies of tho murdered people were found in tho farm-house, with their throats cut from ear to ear and their beads crushed. A bloody hatchet and butcher-knife were found in a chair. Suspicion rested strong­ ly on the bor and he was arrested, tried, convicted, ana sentenced to be hanged. He is now in the penitentiary awaiting tho signing by the Governor of the death warrant. Tho boy’s confession is as fol­ lows: "Mother ami sister Ina had gone to bed. Father, Waty and I were still up, when the calves got out and came up around tho house. Waty sat at the table reading and father had just taken his coat and pantu off to go to bed, and told Waty to go and put the calves up. Ho said:. 'Let Willie do it I won’t go out now.’ Father said that he should go, and Waty did not want to, and, while they ware talking, I went out and got tho hatehet, which wu sticking in a log of wood outside the door, and came buck to see if Waty would go out with me.

Thehouse has an ample yard, and nothing in­ tervenes between it and the railroad em­ bankment a few rods to the west, the rail­ road here crossing the avenue by a bridge. Mr. Bailey says he wu facing his door when the discharge of a pistol sounded from the vacant lot, and he staggered intoLis house and to bis anxious wife awaiting him in their front room, on the ground floor. Mr. Bailey wu seen shortly after. but could furnish little speculation regarding the would-be mur­ derer or his motive*. Mr. Bailey’s ©scape was not of an uncommon kind, but his life-preserver wm certainly effectual. When he reached his room, uncertain if shot or not, search wu made for any trace of the ball, th* snock of which he had felt u it struck his person.

He his is and---1 — am — two years — sixty-eight, —w—--------------------- — junior. Excepting a brief penod, of which something will be said by and Dy,-wo have lived oil onr lives together. Aa boys we ware brongh^up iu the same family; after I had graduated at West Point my leave was pasted al home; and only a short in­ terval followed before I was severely wounded at Buena Vista. That day made me a cripple and on invalid for life, and a Government pensioner. It waa at Carrell's fireside that I found a hearty and affection­ ate welcome; and nothing, during all the years that have since passed. Los hapfiened to make me regret that I consented when Carroll insisted that this should always be my hdme. I have seeiAhis children grow up in this house; some have died, some have married; of all the happy family that I have seen hem in these forty years, there only remain now Carroll aud bls good old wife, and two orphan grand-children. To have fought in the Mexican war; to have seen Scott and Taylor in command; to Lave survived the stern experience of Buena Vista, even as a physical wreck— these things, it mAy be thought, should qualjfy me to tell long nnd interesting sto­ nes of marching, fighting, and campaign­ wu u«u4pu(juing. And so they do. CarroU’s icjz boys could testify that they have heard Uncle Canon talk of his experience in Mexico by the hour; and their uncle can certify that the youngsters were never satisfied. But I did not take up my pen to relate any­ thing of this kind.** The subsequent his­ tory of our country shows Hint such expe­ riences ore common oliough now; tbo Dewspapen and magazines are full of them. What I do wish to say relates to something that is not so common—to no­ bility of heart, to tender brotherly affection —to Carroll, in short, God bless him! Something that he had concealed from mo for yean he wss led, by his sense of duty, into revealing lost. nUbt; and it has so af­ fected me that it must be set down. Observation has shown me that in most families there is much bickering and quar­ reling among ‘the children. Not being a philosopher, and having been condemned by the circumstances I have named to be • bachelor, I cannot account for this un­ pleasant fart. What has impressed tbe fact more deeply upon my mind is the rery sharp contrast that 1 find upon going back to the days of my boyhood. If Carroll and I ever had a quarrel, I cannot now remem­ ber it. We played together, studied to­ gether, worked together, in. the utmost harmony. We were tho only children of the family, and onr brothcify attachment ----------- grew. One wise and, bool I remember, who Pythias. In disposi­ tion and tastes we wore not at all alike. ■ Carroll was rather reserved, studious, thoughtful, and earnest; I was not overfond of my l*>ok, and was headlong and impulsive. My fun wm of tae boisterous ana noisy kind; he had a fine sense of hu­ mor, and would say amusing thing*, with a twinkle of tbe eye, but a very straight • General don't get proud and refuse to । speak to u« fellows in plain clothes." I I -pass my course at tbo Military Acadi cmy with a few words. I found it a hard atruggle indeed lor the firat two yean; nothing but my pride, and tho contidi ntn with which I had boasted that I would suc­ ceed, gave m j tbe industry and persever­ ance needful to succera in that rigid school. When I graduated and went Lome os n Brevet Second Lieutenant I was received by lather, Carroll, tuld numerous friends and ^elalivea, with evident pride -and ad­ miration. I had forgotten to say’thatcui mother died long before. Carroll, espe­ cially, expressed the greatest satisfaction with* my military bearing, my smart now “uniform, and the fact that I was a whole inch taller ' than he. It is' not necessary to crowd this plain noiralive. with details. -After some duty at the West against tho Indians; I wait or­ dered to Mexico, nnd whnt happened to me (here I hare brietly told. Tbe few let! tent that I received from home told mo of I great changes. C arroll had developed a I mechanical turn of. mind; be l ad invented । nn<i patented a very useful domestic article, —:.*_•*brought ------- . . , him a tho sale -• of — which _* already good income, and wuicb, I may say. ban since made him very wealthy. Father’s health was declining; and I was prepared for the intalligenc < of his death, which reached me at New York, where I lay some week* in the hospital. I have already told bow Carroll's homo became mine. Poor, shattered wreck Hint I was, ho made a hero of nte; such ten­ der and affectionate treatment, during a long lifetime, surely no soldier ever re­ reived before. I come down to our convernation of last night. Tho children had been put to bed, and we two were sitting together in the librnty. I was “reading a liook; he leaned back thoughtfully in his chair, his gray head and fine face making an almost perfect picture of our father. Suddenly he turned to me. “Carson, nut up your book; I wont to talk. The fact is, there's been something on my mind for about forty years, and it trouDicH mo. See »ee here." nere. jroubles • He went to a secretary, and unlocking a drawer brought me an envelope, addressed to me in father's well-known round hand. “He gave me that a week before be died, charging me to deliver it to you. I have not done so beford. because other expres­ sions that he used led mo to believe that tlie letter related to a subject that I did not wish you over to be informed about. But of course that waa wrong. I should have complied with my father’s request long ago. Here is tbe letter." “Shall I read it?” I opened the envelope. “ ‘Dear Carson,' my father said, ‘there is something that 1 want to say personally to {ou; but my failing health warns me that may never have an opportunitv. So I will write it out, and leave it with Carroll for you. I need not say how proud we are of your success in the military profession, and of your good conduct in Mexico. I am the more gratified, because I never expected so much of yon. I supposed you would bo brave, for that is in tho blood; you camo of good Revolutionary stock; but I did not think you had the in­ dustry and application to make an army officer; nor that you had tbe steadiness of purpose to pursue tho military career after you had entered upon it. I have l>een agreeably disappointed in you. But you ought to know how much you are indebted to the generosity and forbearance of your brother for the opportunity to acquire this profession. “You will remember how greatly Carroll was agitated by my announcement of Mr. Sanders' offer, and by your eager claim for the appointment. There was more in his conduct at that time than I could account for; and I took him a>ide tbo same night and urged him to tell the whole truth. "His answer wan given with team. To my astonishment, he told mo that ho had been long enamored of military life; that he had conceived the i'dea of going to West Point; that ho had some weeks before written to Mr. Sanders on the subject; and that tbe letter I had received wos really on answer to his own, although addressed to me. “I was surprised to hear all this, but I told Carroll that the matter must at once be set right by a full explanation of it to you. “He begged me to do nothing of lhe kind. ‘ Carson has set his heart upon it,’ he said, * and he must not bo disappointed. It will hurt me dreadfully not to go, but it will please me to give way to Carson.' I yielded at last to Lis entreaties. though tho tears stood in bis eyes as he spoke of giv­ ing up his cherished project. "Tn s, Carson, is the way you became a tjldier. Nover forget what you owe to Carroll." 1 nover shall forget, long as my life may bo spared. Indeed, what do I not owo to thia self-sacrificing soul? I handed him the open letter. He read it in silence and returned it, with the re­ mark: “It is as I thought I am sorry father left this for you.” I began to praise the generosity of his conduct, but he quickly interrupted me. “Now. really, Carson, you needn't talk that way. What have I done that is so We were large lads, well-grown, healthy, and advanced in our studies, so that tbe question as to whether we or either of us should go to college had been to some ex­ tant discussed, when father came in cue evening looking rather serious, with a let­ ter in his hand. He was one of that rather rare kind of parents who treat their boys with the utmost frankness, and get their confidence by freely giving their own. “Boys,” be said,” here is something that really troubles me. I might as weU tell you about it at once. It u a letter from Mr. 8andm, our Representative in Congrusa. He says that there is a vacancy in the Military Academy at West Point; and that he can control the appointment. He is one of my best friends, and be offers the cadetship for one of you. I think------ ” I interrupted him before he could express his opinion. I jumped from my chair, clapped my hands, and cried: . “Oh, father, let me go! I’d like it above all things." I thought a shade of surprise crossed his face. . “I’m doubtful, Caraon, whether this would be just the thing for you. Do you think you would like a military life?” “I knoic 1 should." “But you don’t know whit West Point Is. You Lave no idea of the severe course of study, and the discipline of the place.” “Other boys have succeeded there; I •hall not fail.” My father smiled at the largeness of my into the army instead of myself, and get boast. used up at that savage battle. Though if it “Carroll, what do you think of this?” he comes to that,” and the twinkle camo into his eye, "I can't think I should have been ras rery eeger to get my father’s cou- iu any danger. General Taylor couldn't but I did not fail to observe that my have got mo within a mile of Buena Brother was very much affected by my de­ Vista." "Nonsense, Carroll! Remember what termination.

I can see with­ shoulder. “Be perfectly serious, brother, aud tell out one minute's thinking that it's just lhe mo why you submitted to what was the se­ thing for me." I never was more iu earnest, nor more verest sacrifice of your life.” His generous spirit shone radiantly from honest, in my life: but the expreasion of his face as he answered: “I did not know the reason then, but I have found it since, in the language of Saint Paul: * Be kindlr affeetioned one to another with brotherly love; in honor pre­ •on.

In those days I was tho master of one of the fastest clippers that rounded the Horn. We had not heard o^Ptacific railways then; ■team on the ocean w^ net whot.it is now, and our swift, ships made voyages between Boston and San Francisco that ustoniabed and delighted both citie*. The discovery of gold in California was followed by a great emigration thither, and all the carry­ Ing trade was stimulated. My ship bad mode an average speed on several of these long voyage* of which tbe owner* were proud, and I was naturally anxious to beat my own time. We were bowling along merrily in the South Atlantic before a stiff north wind when the masthead lookout reported some­ thing in sight far off to the larboard. “ Wm it a Mil?” I aaked. No; it wm r a sail, and it was not clear what it was. Soon after came another report that tt looked like a dismantled hull. “Any signals?” 1 inquired. “No, *ir; no signals.” Mr. Mayhew, tbe mate, who was stand­ ing near me, m*de the remark (in a very proper manner, too.) that if tho masts were all gone, it couldn't be expected there would be anv signals. I am ashamed to say that I told him to mind his own busi­ ness. The truth is, I wm very much vexed. So fnr, we had made a splendid run, and I was hopeful of rounding the cape in lesi time than I had ever done it before. And now and per­ haps a whole dav, looking Il wm too provoking. For fifteen minute* I alkcd tho deck, very much vexed, but d at all satisfied with myself. Then Mr Mayhew ap­ proached me and touched hi* hat. “I beg your pardon, Captain Brace,” he said, “bat the glass shows her plainly now. Sho's a large ship, not under helm, and rolling heavily m if water-logged. Shall I change onr course and send a Boat out?" “No!" I thundered, and as the hurt and astonishod mate went forward, I dived down into tho cabin and shut the door. “Let the old wreck go,” I said to myself. “She's seen heavy weather, and there'* nothing alive on her.” This is what 1 said; but saying it did not satisfy me. I sat down and tned to think of something d*e. I could not do it. Thoughts of tho dead and tho dying sea­ men who might be on that poor drifting hulk took possession of my mind and would not quit me. Then came another thought that caused mo to jump up and pace tbe cabin. Whsl if my brother* had met their death in this way, because some selfish, inhuman ship'* captain like myself was unwilling to stop and save them. Just such things had happened. I rushed up on deck. “What do you make her now, Mr. Mayhew?" I Mked. ■ “She's lurching and Holding fast, sir,” he said. “The rail and tbe hatches have been chopped away, and I see one boot that is stove. She bad live men aboard not long ago, sure." “Well, Mr. Mayhew, you may shorten sail and aenu a boat over to her." He gave a cheerful “Ay, ay, sir!” and in less than one hour from that time I saw through the glass our boat's crew mount the side of tho water-logged wreck. With a Eng of reproach I saw them band down to tbe boat half a dozen helpless men. They were just 4n time—the boat had not pulled a furlong away when tho wreck pitched over and went down by tho bows. It was some little time after our ship-WM before the wind ngain that I went down into the fore hold where tbe doctor was working over the poor, starved, famished fellows who were Liken from the wreck. I had been a sailor twenty years, and never saw so pitiful a sight before. “Can any of them live?" 1 asked. He ebook hi* head doubtfully. “Two have died since they came on board, and the others are likely to—except thi* one. He's for enough gone, poor boy; but he seems to rally under the stimulants, and I have hopes ot him.” The man that he spoke of opened his eyes at the sound of our voices. ’“What's tho matter with yon, Captain?" asked tho doctor. “You're m pole os a gbosL" WeU I might be! My brother EUm lay before me. It was two weeks after this, when wo had nursed him back to something like strength, that he won able to sit up in my cabin and tell mo bis adventures. I did not begin to taU a long story, so I shall repeat none of them save that which happened to him tho night before hi* reocue. “Oar horrible sufferings had at lost put us in that condition," ho said, “where all complaint wm silenced by mere physical weakness. Tho boats had been btove or carried away by stress of the storm; tho rudder was disabled; provisions and water were scant; we drifted helplessly about, while tho ship slowly filled from a leak that we could not reach; the time soon came when we were too weak to man the pumps. One by one my shipmates grew delirious and died; three ended their sufferings by jumping overboard. That last night I was so weak from hunger and thirst that it seemed as if death could not be far off, and I closed my eyes, expecting to open them in another world. Whether I slept and dreamed, or whether what I saw was a, vision sent from heaven to cheer and com­ fort me, I know not; but I raw this ship come sailing over tbe sea toward me, so distinctly that I could tell every mast, sail, and spar, and you, brother, were standing at the bow, holding out your hands to me. When I awoke you and th* doctor were standing over mo.” A Dl'EL ON SKATES. “Coward!” •Liar!" The words were uttered coolly, almost dispassionately, but there was a world of meaning in lhe tones of lhe speakers. It was in a small village in one of our Northern States. Two men, young, but of very different exterior, scowled fiercely at each oUter over the green table of a gam­ ing establishment. Matt MeGill was a true frontiersman, and, though scarcely twenty-one, he had the reputation of being oh oooi and daring a scout as ever followed a trail. There eye* m he looked sternly across the table hands of the latter was leveled at his breast For a moment they stood thus, each defiantly regarding the other.

Both loved and wooed Marie Fontaine, a dark-eyed Canadian girl, and each with ap­ parently tho nine degree of success. Ri­ vals from the first, the breach had rapidly widened Into intense hatred, and had led at last into the formal declaration of hostili­ ties recorded above. Now, nothing but an '“affair of honor” could be tho result, and the contest bode fair to be a desperate one. MoGiU, as the challenged party, had the choice of weapons, and soon tho affair was satisfactorily arranged. Tho meeting wav to take place on the surface of a little lake near at hand, and tho weapons were to be Colt's revolvers.

I suppose that »o long os people continue to talk and write about tho war, there will ■ not be an end of the strange things that will be told and written about it By strange things I mean such occurrences os never could be expected to happen. Now, for example, take tho incidents that I am about to relate. In December, 1862, the Government had begun to understand that ;t had a real war an hand1—no thirty or Jlxty-day affair. Military matters were not moving very en­ couragingly for the Union ride in those days. Tho Mississippi River was barrod; the great campaigns that were to release It had not yet been commenced. At the East, with Maryland and the capital but lately delivered from the Confederate army, our forces had just been flung back across the Rappahannock in bloody and disastrous de­ feat This, any one would ’say, was the time wlujp every Union soldier capable of bearing arms ought to be found at the front And yet, strange to say, the present writer, with about three hundred comrades, was afloat on blue water, in a sailing ves­ sel, almost five hundred miles suit of tho coast of the United States, having a re­ markably pleasant time out among the Ba­ hama Islands And we were neither deserters nor shirks. We were acting strictly under' orders; and, by tho way, wc got back to solid ground soon enough to get our full share of fight­ ing. The explanation is simple enough. Wc were four companies, with pert of the field and staff of the regiment, that bad em­ barked at Fortress Monroe under sealed orders for "distant service," in the early days of December. There were fourteen steam vessels started out at that time, of which we had th® smallest, weakest, and meanest, She was hardly fit to navigate a canal. We were all caught in a raging storm off Hatteras, in the midst of which our engine broke down, and our poor craft came uear going to the bottom. We were finally picked up, after untold misery and peril, by one of the larger steamers, and towed into Port Royal. Here our rotten vessel was condemned, and we were sent ashore for a week until some arrangements could be made to take us on to Ship Island, in the Gulf, to which point tbe opening of our scaled or­ ders directed ns. A most agreeable week was that! We enjoyed the hospitalities of a Pennsylvania regiment; we were at lib­ erty to go almost anywhere about that pic­ turesque bay and ita islands; and more than anything else I think we were gratified by our visits to tbe United States steam frigate Wabash, lying at anchor, which a year before had taken part in tho fight with the shore batteries which won Port Royal for us. Such a picture of neatness as the decks of this noble vessel presented I never saw; and I was somewhat astonished upon being told that no less than eight hundred sailoni, marines and artificers were at that moment aboard. A tame boar on one of the forward decks seemed to be a great pet with the sailors; and one grizzled old salt of whom I made some inquiries volunteered to spin me a short yarn, something in this fashion: “Yon see that there bear, sir? Well, sir, not long ago that there animal went aft, when the marine wasn't looking; and lhe blamed creature climbed up on the sky­ light; and hit- weight broke m the glass and sash all at onee; and he bumped right down into the Captain's cabin, right on the table, where the Captain had th* Admiral to dinner. Yes, sir, he did 1" Something in the manner of this old blue-jacket led me to suspect that he was stories I had heard of, which were usually “told to the marinea." He winked, and thrust his tongue into his cheek. We were transferred to the bark Voltia •gear to complete our voyage; and a remark­ able voyage it was. While steamers for the Gulf porta can go straight down the Florida coast, passing in sight of it a large part of tbe way. the powerful current of the Gulf-st ream.sweejiing north ward around the Florida cape, prevents sailing vessels from pursuing that coarse. They are com- they can round the eape; going almost five hundred miles easterly, aa has amid ths shoaly channels of the Bahamas. Such was our course. Wo left Port Royal with a fair breeze in the early morning of December 17. We reached the Southwest age we traversed tho channels of tbe Baha­ ma Islands; sailed along ths beautiful coast of Cuba, with its dark mountains in tbe background: passed tbe Moro light at Ha­ vana in the night time and saw it flashing Aeys; saiieu iuv »»uaa nu sandy Ship Island, where, without drop­ ping anchor, we learned that wo were or­ dered to Now Orleans; and there we went We were-for whole days and nights of this time in Spanish and in British waters, and there were a few incidents of tbe voyage— soldiers.

I "No. sir!" he said, with emphasis; “you'll I never catch me interfering with that kind of thing. The lads know what ihsy re about. It's their way of letting a landsman know that he’s sticking hia uoxe where it | don’t belong. He’ll know better liext, time." Tho master of our vessel, Caplain Bly. i was a character tn his way. Ho was well along in years and had followed the sea all his life. Ho was 'blunt aud even rude in ; his address, and seemed to think it part of • his duty to snub landsmen and soldiers; while his natural kindness of heart was such that he never gave any one a short or cross answer, without making amends for it afterward. “Captijto," raid one of tbo boys, ‘ what do yon call that roundish .thing that you look through at tho sun eveFy noon?" “Don’t call it at ail; when I want it, I go and get it” — Am ■ Baton, but the next time the old V sea-dog V ■ ? ’ had occasion to use hie quadrant, Lv lie OO ■ some pa'Dx to call this man aft and explain the use of the instrument On another occasion he was scolding somebody for throwing some refuse over­ board to the windward. t “Throw nothing to the wind'ard," be said, “but hot water npd ashes." “Why throw those things to the wind­ ward?” was innocently naked. " Because they’ll blow right back in your blorated eyes, and learn you belter next time." ' On the 2Gtb of December, in the Gulf of Mexico, the only ship sighted on our long voyage was spoken—the T. J. Southard, from New York. Our Captain took bis trumpet and went through a course of hoaree bawling with the mauler of tbe Southard, most of which was all Greek to us bystanders, but out of which wo did nnderatand that the other man said he was I ten days out from New York, and onr skip- | P»r reported the Voltigeur six days from , ort Royal. We all knew that thin was the ninth day of our voyage, and as I, in my innocence, thought that sailors were the most truthful aud conscientiouH of men. I took tlie liberty on hour later, when Captain Bly seemed to be in good humor, of asking him if be hadn’t made a mistake isi his trumpet-talk with the master of the Southard. ^Mistake? No! How?” “Why, you said we were six days out from Port Royal." “So wo are; and more, too.” “I don't see why yon wanted to deceive him.” * “Look I ere, young fellow, you’re green! He wasn't deceived by mv talk any more thau I was by his. He had the tint hbv, and told a ahopjter. Do you suppose I'd have him beat me lying?—about the sailing | ^t this vessel, too’ I guess not.” Some of our detachment, before they learned better, ventured to speak to the man nt the wheel; but they had some plain and pointed talk from the Captain on (hat ; subject, which they did not forget. It was ■ .a picture to cm see «k. the a.iinw sailor standing there almost like a statue, grasping the wheel with both hands, anti waiting orders. Every qrder that was given him he would at once repeat, to be sure that he had it correctly. "What’s the course?"* tho Captain would ask. -S. W. by S.. sir." “Keep her nothing to lhe south ard.” “Nothing to the south'ard, sir." Tbe process of weighing anchor for the start at Port Royal Harbor was witnessed with interest by the soldieis. Thrusting their bars into the capstan, tho sailors marchod round and round till the anchor came up, timing their movements by a song in which all joined, the burden of which The lights pl were in perfect, sod that ctrcnmBtunre probably — Wc could aee that the lights moved very rapidly. After u Hine their direct on changed, and they fast ieceded. The Captain drew along breath, “I hope we shan’t s»e you again,*'he sa d. “What* was ahe, Captain?” some of us asked. " Nothing but the Alabama," he replied, "Th* Alabama!" "1 haven't a doubt o oi-.-nma large steamer—none yachts, running.out L------------------- ----------sure.

From Cincinnati to Chattanooga there are no good small towns, like for inatance'bur own Nashvnle All are lit­ tle, do-account, tumble- down affairs, which appear to be struck with tbe dry rot. CHATTANOOGA. Before the war Chattanooga was a miserable, muddy little village. The secessionist* strongly fortified and made it a atrategetic point aud depot of supplies for the Confederates ; but a victorious army marching over tbe ruins of strongholds in Kentucky aud Tennessee, startled its garrison, threat­ ened to flank or cut off from its base of supplies Bragg's army, consequently he was compelled to evacuate, tbe Union army moved in, nnd Chattanooga was transformed, as it were, in a day from a disloyal to a loyal stronghold. To-day Chattanooga has a population of 35,000, three-fourth of whom are northern men, including soldiers who were here during tbe war and who then saw tbe ad vantages of the situation for commercial and manufactory schemes and at the close of the war came here, bought homes, farms and mines aud began the work of reconstruction. As a result Chattanooga booms with a sol­ idity not enjoyed by other southern cities. The historic Lookout Mountain aud Missionary Ridge have been laid out in-town lota. An inclined railroad has been built to tlie top of the former and a daisy railroad built -from the center of business along the base of tbe latter. Over $6,000,000 worth of real estate changed hands during January and February, and still the boom is in its height; aU of which goes to show that the things needed in the south are northern men. brains and capital. LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN. Embracing the first favorable oppor­ tunity we secured a team and driver, and mode tbe ascent of Lookout. The mountain is 1,800 feet above the -level of tlie surrounding country, but the wagon road from bane to summit ia said to be two and a half miles long. Upon attaining tbe highest poi nt the panorama that spread out before us is majestically beautiful and extends to three states, Tennessee, Georgia, aud Alabama. At this point the Tennes­ see liver berforms a majestic sweep, called Moccasin bend, the toe touching the base of Lookout Mountain. Oter to the right, extending fnr many miles is Missionary Ridge, and in tbe valley, directly in front and on tbe east side of Moccasin bend is the booming city of Chattanooga. Having witnessed, at Chicago, the panorama of tbe battle of Missionary Ridge, which, by the way, is so real, so far as nature ia concerned, we have do tiouble in recognizing where we are. WAR RXMUflSCKMCKf.' We have no ambition to write war articles, and it is not our intention to do so. but standing where we do upon Lookout peak, we cannot prevent our imaginative mind from turning back to the scenes of twenty-odd years ago. Over to our left we can tiace tlie loca­ tion of the hotly contested battle field of Stone River; over tbe Ridge, far to the right, is the battle ground of Chick­ amauga. one of tbe bloodiest of tbe war—nearly 30.000 in killed and wound­ ed being loot by both armies. This battle, it will be remembered, was a aecond Bull Run to the Union army, and Rocecraaa was forced to retreat hack into Chattanooga, the brave gen­ eral Tbomaa, from Battery hill, bold­ ing the enemy in check, aa Old Roeey retire*. The Con federate then occu­ pied Missionary Ridge, tbe site we are standing upon, including all of the ps—du of Lookout Mountain and the railroad towards Nashville, and Rose­ crana, penned up at Chattanooga was almost completely isolated from his base. It is stated that subsequently, from tbe same point we are standing upon. Gens. Bragg and Longstreet witnessed tbe bold and apcceaaful reinforcement of tbe army of the Cumberland, aud trembled, perhaps, aa they learned thai tumbled down the mountain killing thirty men—and disloged tbe enemy, has never been satisfactorily explained by the Confederates to thia day. And tbe no less wonderful military feat tiie next day—the storming of Mis­ sionary Ridge. At the command from Gen. Grant, standing in Fort Wood, just over there, tlie columns of “Boys in Blue,” moved forward as regularly as upon dress parade. Aa they neared the base of the ridge murderous fires of artillery and musketry were hurled against them, bnt Chickamauga was still fresh in t-beir memories, and they had Gens, Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Hookgr, Thomas and McPherson watching them, and they determined to go to the top of that ridge or die right where the* were. Aa a result they se­ cured the ciest of the ridge, 6.000 pris­ oners, 42 pieces of artillery, many thou­ sand small arms, routed Bragg's army, aud that night Nov. 35, *63, Missionary Ridge blazed resplendent with Union camp fires. The killed and wounded on both sides in this assanlt wqs up­ wards of 10,000.

THE WOMAN WHO WAS AFRAID. A man waa once walking along one road, and a woman along another. The two roads finally united, and mao and woman, reaching the junction at the same time, walked on together. The man was carrying a large iron kettle on his back; in one hand he held by tbe legs a live chicken, iu the other a cane, and was leading a goat. Just as they were coming to a deep, dark ravine, the woman said to the man: “I atn afraid to go through that ravine with you; it is a lonely place, and you might dterpower me and kiss me by force."’ •‘If you are afraid of that,” said the man, “you shouldn't have walked with me at all: how can I possibly overpow­ er you and kiss you by force when I have this great irorf kettle on my back, a cane in one hand, aod a live chicken in the other, nnd am leading a goat? 1 might as well be titd Hand and fool.” •’Yea,” replied the woman, “but if you should stick your cane into tbe ground and tie your goat to it, and turn the kettle bottom side up and put the chicken into it, then, you might wick­ edly kiss mein spite of my resistance.” ••Success to thy ingenuity. 0 woman !" said tbe rejoicing man to himself; "I should have never thought of such an expedient.” And when tliey came to the ravine he stuck bis cane in the ground and tied the goat to it, gave the chicken to tbe woman, saying: “Hold it while I cut some grass for the goat," aud then, lowering the xettle from his shoulder, imprisoned the cnlcken un­ der it. and wickedly kissed the woman, a* she was afraid he would..

BY THOHAM COLQUITT. CHAPTER L [This 'story was told to the writer beside a miner’s camp fire in Southern Arizona, one hot and sleepless night last summer, by an ancient mariner of those western wilds who, judging from his (icraonal ap­ pearance, wm probably out there some­ where prospecting when the country was . created, j Cottonwood was a small to<» of half a dozen log and adobe bouses on die bank of the San Juan. There were but two stores in the place, aud their principal stock in trade consisted of whisky, fire­ arms, and provisions, in the order named. Their customers were miners, hunters and trappers, and Indians. There is a great difference, which you cannot understand, between the Cottonwood of that day and the prosperous, rustling city jwhich now stands upon the same spot Yet only a few ^eara have posed it seems when I come to look back; only a few years, but they have been long, long wMted years for me, m I have plodded my way through life alone. I once planned it out differ­ ent; for a few short months I was happy in the love of the fairest girl that ever trod this earth. I will commence at the first and tall my ■tory properly. I was an orphan. My father, one of the first white men who ever penetrated this region, had died when I was but n few months old. My mother soon followed him, and I was left to the tender mercies of a Mr. Charner. 1 never knew anything concerning my parents' people. When I was fourteen years of age a rail­ road was built to Cottonwood. After the road came the inevitable newspaper, aud the hhmaelitr viim established. Through boyish curiosity I visited the printing office. The editor took a kindly interest in me and gave me work on the paper. Ho was a kind-hearted man, but entirely unsuited for this country. He waa always very kind to me, however, allowing me U do nil the work in the office, m I grew able, includ­ ing the heavy press work of the entire edition of fiteea auires. One day, how­ ever, in a thoughtless moment he chanced to contradict Diego Dan m to the quality of a pint of whisky. Dan started a grave­ yard with the editor, sad the paper passed ' into other and more competent hands. Ihego Dan was the whitest man that ever lived. He seemed to consider himself in honor bound to provide for my future, after he had so summarily removed my late em­ ployer, ko he administered on the editor’s estate and gave me the office. He often Mked me to join bun in excursions up the river or out on the plains. I remained in the office of the IxkmaeliU for four years, closely at work, when one summer I de­ cided to take a month's recreation with Dan. He wm a good fellow, as I have •aid, well educated, handsome, and always dressed well. I believed him then to be a dandy sort of hunter and trapper; but I came to know afterward that, when out on the plains, be often compelled overland gold-seekers to ;»ay heavy toll for crossing the divide. But he wm always good to me, and it was none of my business. Ho wm the best shot in nil that country, where everyone shot well, and ha eould see on object farther away than any person I ever ‘■“'tam. One laughable peculiarity in his marksmanship was that, at long range, he always shot Indians in the legs. Many supposed he did it on purpose, but he explained the matter to me m confidence. I wm then very sorry that hr had not ■taken a long range shot at my friend, the editor. We started on our voyage up ths river early one morning in July. Against the •current onr progress could not, of course, be very rapid; we made fairly good time, however, and were soon in the midst of some magnificent scenery. Diego Dan was S'te an artist with thu pencil, as well as pistol, and I readily recognized sev­ eral pretty bits of scenery along the river from sketches he had made on previous Voyages. • We camped the first night about fifty miles above Cottonwood, very tired after a day's bard rowing. Directly after supper Dan rolled himself up in a blanket, and was asleep long before I closed my eyes upon the bright stars glittering above me. The second evening we reached the ruins of an old log house—we were now among the Arizona pine forests—on the river bank. The structure had originally contained revaral rooms, but of theKo one alone wm standing, and it offered but slight protec­ tion in case there should be a storm during the night. “Do von know that we are in a haunted house? said Dan to me that night as we oat at supper in ths little room. “No; do you?" “It is said to be.” wm the reply by which be evaded a direct opinion. ton. who was murdered up here, with his fair.” “Well,’ Dsn continued reluctantly, though I could not then understand why ho should dislike to tell the story. “Barton lived here, aud I often stopped over for several days at a time with the old fellow.

The lady deposited her fare and the boy’s, and the bell rang. “Aunt Ella." said the boy, “what snakes the boll ring?” “The driver rings the bell." was the reply. “What does he do that for?" “Why, he does it to register the fare.” “ What doos ho do that for ?" “Because he has to.” -Ob." Then there was a silence for half a minute. Presently the boy said: “What is that round thing up there?” “That is the register." “What is that for?" “To register the fare." “You said the ring registered the fare." “No, I didn’t say that" "Yes, you did, Aunt Ella." "Now, Johnny, don’t you contradict me; you are a naughty boy." “Well, that’s what you said.” A silence of two minutes followed. It was broken by the boy, who said: "Say, Aunt Ella, what madff you tell me that the ring registered the fare?" -Oh, I don’t know." “You did eav so, didn’t yon, Aunt Eller ’ “Yes, Johnny.” “Then what made you say that you didn't say it?" “I didn’t say that I didn’t say so.

They entered a long, well-shaded, romautic-looking road, and almost before Miss Tyler knew anything John ex­ claimed with more or less emotion: “I love you I" “This is very sudden,” she replied. “I hope you ain’t mad about it" » “No; I don’t know”—and as she fal­ tered his arm encircled her waist. There wm silence for a minute or two, and then pity got the better of tho dear girl’s feelings, and she said softly: “John I should think that you would got tired of the monotony ot your life here." “Yes; it is kind o' tiresome some­ times. ” “Tell me what you do." “Yon won’t get mad about it?” “Certainly not” “Well, you know, we run this form in summer so's to make enough to keep the family the rest of the year. Mam sees to the cooking, pap tends to the work outdoors, and they let me do all the love-making busines*.” “The love-making business.” “Yes, that’s what it amounts to. Flirt with the boarders, you know, and make ’em believe that they’re made a niMh. First it was tough work—kind o' bashful, you know—and the first summer I only popped to two girls. The second summer I got up to six. Last season I reached a dozen, and this year—but say, you ain’t mail about it, are yeu?” "No, dear John.” and her head nestled fondly on his shoulder. “What a pretty hat you have. Lot me hold it for you; and dear John, how fine and soft your hair is.” And she ran her fingers gently through his chestnut locks. Presently she put both hands up there, and, after getting a good, tight hold, she pulled with all the gathered strength of a six weeks* vacation. John tried to yeU, but be couldn’t—his breath forsook him. He tried to speak, but it was no go. Tho big tears that rolled down bis cheeks were the only manifestations of his miserr, but they were enough to touch a heart of stone In about a minute—to John it seemed a century— the lovely Miss Tyler released her hold and gathered several dozen strands of chestnut hair into a knot “No, dear John," she said, in her sweetest way, “I ain’t mad. I only wanted a lock of your lovely hair for a summer souvenir. And now, dea^ John, suppose we return.” Dear John obeyed without a murmur. Thsy reached home, and that night, at a family council, John issued his ulti­ matum. “Dad.” said he, “if there’s any more courtin’ businees to be done ’round here you’ve got to do it I’ve quit tor good." ___________ Wherein Ladle* Are Robbers.

O'Connell, a fanner, of Liberty Township, and John Adair, a railroad grader, of Sioux City. Mr. H. J. Taylor presented the case forthe State and Mr. G. W. Argo presented the case for the defense. Mr. Taylor, after reading the indictment, recited the story of the crime in a delicate nnd somewhat la­ bored manner. Mr. Taylor laid the founda­ tion of tho motive for the murder in the excitinq incidents of tho injunction suits against tho Sioux City liiiuor dealers. Tbe Rev. George C. Haddock's participation in these suits and his advocacy of temperance were shown to have incited the enmity of certain men, among whom was John Arensdorf. ' It is freely predicted in certain circles that a disagreement will be the result of the trial, and betting men are taking odds against conviction. Mr. Tnylor grew ruggedly eloquent as ho neared the climax. In few words ho out­ lined the plan of the State in its proof of the murder. He described the assembling of the alleged conspirators at Junk's saloon, the watching for Haddock's return from his temperance minsion to Greenville, the ar­ rival of tbe minister at Merr Il's stable after leaving Mr. Turner at his home in the western part oj the city, and the- starting of Haddock for his own home. Then came the deed of blood. Had­ dock, after once returning to tho stable door io ask "if that mob was lying in wait for him," started to cross Water street, di­ rectly in tho face of the band on the corner of Fourth and Water streets. A man stepped firmly forward, passed tho victim, then ’urned and fired the deadly shot. Thia man, Mr. Taylor declared the State was ready to prove, was none other than John Arensdorf. “And the blood then shed on onr city's streets," said he. "now cries for justice at your hands." Mr. Argo entered a general denial of the State's charge, and inttoducsd the defend­ ant to th© jtuy in a brief biographical sketch. John Arensdorf was boro in Bel­ gium in Ibfil. His parents were farmers. At fourteen years of age be was appren­ ticed to a brewer. In 1871 he come to America nnd has been employed an a brewer since that time. He has resided in Siou| City for nearly ten years. Mr. Argo showed that tbe defense pro­ posed to rely upon proving an alibi, and upon the general good character of the de­ fendent. The counsel devoted consider­ able time to an arraignment of Harry Leavitt, who, be said, wm the chief witness for the State. It was for the proeecutionto prove the guilt of Arensdorf. But the defense would unquestionably demonstrate that he not only knew nothing of tbe mur­ der, but that he had. on the night of the shooting, ndually saved a temperance work­ er from assault.

Editortai Correspondence. We reached Atlanta over tbe West­ en* and Atlantic railroad, familiarity kso.wu as tha Great Kennesaw route. With Mr Brown’s fine book, “Tbe Mountain Campaigns in Georgia, or War Scenes on the W. A.,” as a com­ panion, wu ckunot remember having . taken a lb ore iuteresting trip than the one from Chattanooga to Atlanta. The _ route is uot only picturesque, hut has become historic from being the ' theatre of that great campaign Betwixt Sbermsn and Johnston, during the late war. Both armies fought for the possession of the W. &. A. Sher­ man, especially, needed it as a channel through which to secure supplies for his immense army, and all his flank movements were made, primarily, to secure possession of this railroad. Over eighty battles, includfqa Chickamauga, ' Missionary Ridge, Rlngold, Ro< ky Face, Dalton, Resaca, Allatoona, Konnesaw Mountain and Atlanta, were fought along this line. In fact from Chattanooga to Atlanta is one continu­ ous battle-field, where for 190 days the booru of the- cannon and sharp crack of , the rifle was heard almost without in­ terruption. ' As we glide along over the all-steel rails of tbe W. & A. we observe upon either hand, iu the old earthworks, many evidences of 'that famous cam­ paign. Joe .Joblisten was.a firm discible of the Fabian policy in warfare and selected positions so strong that, even th$ skillful Sherman could secure them, only by flank fkiovements. We pass through Cartersville, the home of Sam Jones, and Allatoona, famous from having been tbe scenn of aulncident which gave rise to that glo­ rious gospel hymn, “HOLD THE EOKT.” As Johnston was pushed back and stra­ tegic points fell into the hands of Sher­ man, he fortified and garrisoned them. This was the case with Allatoona. In October, aa Hood was making his fa­ mous retrograde movement into Ten­ nessee, he attacked Allatoona, which wm defended by Gen. John M. Corse, with less than 2.000 mon. Just as this little army, assailed by furious odds, were about to surrender in despair, there came that thrilling and memora­ ble message: "HOLD THE FORT FOR 1 AM COMING.” Which was Signaled by Gen. Sherman from the top of Kennesaw Mountain. Thus inspired the gallant heroes hold tiie fort with such undaunted persisten­ cy that the Confederates beat a retreat, even before the heralded reinforce­ ments appeared. In thia fierce and bloody struggle the Union forces lost nearly one-half the man engaged. THE LOCOMOTIVE CAPTURE. The little hamlet of Big Shanty, (rightly named) is also famous for an incident which occurred during the war, and which we distinctly remember reading about at the time. On April 19, 1869, a brave and daring Union soldier, named Andrews, and twenty followers in disguise, seised, whilst the train men were nt dinner, a locomotive and three cars and dashed northward intending to burn bndres, tear up railroad track, and otherwise cripple this great iron feeder to the Southern Confederacy. The Confederates securing another en­ gine started in pursuit and a thrilling race of nearly 100 mile* ensued, at the termination of which tbe Union men were captured. CapU Fuller, tbe man who was instrumental in their capture is a grocer in Atlanta, the identical lo­ comotive is still doing duty on the W. &. A., but the daring gallant fellows who attempted to aid the Union cause, a quarter of a century ago died an ig­ nominious death upon tbe scaffold. But such are the fortunes of war. At Atlanta we met a Mr. Hilton who claims to have witnessed the hanging of An-, drew*. He conducted us to tbe spot where the brave man breathed his last, aud stated that he accepted his fate with undaunted heroism, and met his death with unflinching nerve. The great battle of this campaign was at Kennesaw Mountain on June 27th. At this battle Sherman had 100,­ 000 men and Johnston 60,000; tbe latter however had an impregnable military position upon Kennesaw Mountain, which overlooks the country in all di­ rections; and all the heroic mmu Its of .Sherman upon him were disastrous in the extreme: but later tbe usual flank extension caused Johnson to retreat.

PROHIBITION. Atlanta is truly a progressive and beautiful city, but her great beauty lies in the fact that she enjoys prohibition. Imagine, if you can, a city of 60,000 in­ habitants and not a saloon in it, nnd a more prosperous city cannot be found. In fact, tbe fact that Atlanta has no sa­ loons is her strength, ai.d^ people are flocking to become citizens, because here they can bring up their children away from the pernicious influences of saloons. ’Tie true that wine can lie bought by the quart, but tbe wealthier people—those who rarelv drink to ex­ cess—buy it. We have been in Atlan­ ta a week, and although it is a great city, we have not seen a drunken or dis­ orderly person. The police force has been greatly reduced as to what it was under the whiskey regime, and the courts are sufturing from a dearth of business. Drunkards who formerly lay in the gutter, or tbe “bastile” at the city’s expense, are now working every­ day, and their chilc^en with good shoes upon their feet ana smiles upon their faces, can be seen going to school. Georgia is fast becoming a prohibition state, under the local option law, and not by the formation of a separate pro­ hibition party. Out of 142 counties, it is said 185 sre solidly prohibition. May she continue in the good work. MORE WAR REMINISCENCES. At home we hardly ever think of tbe “late unpleasantness,” but the coinci­ dence of rambling over old earthworks, coupled with the sense of being beneath southern skies has recalled to our mind’s eye the thrilling events of a quarter of a century ago. hood’s OFFENSIVE TACTICS. After the battle of Kenesaw Moun­ tain Johnston retreated across Chatta­ hoochee nver and took a stand within eight miles of Atlanta. His Fabian poliqy having become distasteful to the Confederate government, he waa re­ lieved and Gen. Hood appointed to his place, although the former asserted that he could hold Atlanta forever. Hood was the direct opposite ot John­ ston, aud although be bad an army not much larger than one-half of Sherman’s lie immediately instituted offensive tactics. The terrible battles of Peach Tree Creek, Atlanta, aud Ezra Church, fought respectively on July 90, 32 aud 38th, only served to show Hood his weakness and he was compelled io each instance to retire with prodigious losses. In the battle of the 29ad the Union forces lost their gallant General McPherson and the Confederates tbe daring Gen. Walker. The spot where the former fell is marked with a monu­ ment consisting of a 34-pound siege gun. nioqpted on a granite base and surrounded by a fence made from gun barrels. Although Hood was au offensive commander be did not neglect to en­ trench and tbe ground around the city SEAMED WITH F.KTMKMCHMM1TTS And eartht-rn fortifleation*. We have traveled from the center of the city to tbe four points ot the compaaa, and everywhere do we find those banks of red dirt, which ill ori rate tbe tenacity of aeceaaian. better than any feeble words of ours.

Leavitt was subjected to a rigorous cross­ examination by the defense without'in the 'Bight of tbo conspirators, among whom Leavitt, the Slate witness, was identified. On Monday Leavitt won placed upon the witness stand and (old his story. It was identical with his original confession, or statement, and very damaging to Arens­ dorfh chances of acquittal. Condensed into a narrative, Leavitt's testimony is m follows: In the latter part of December, 1885, he came to Sioux Cjty, but went away and re­ turned in the first week of January, 1886. Ho opened bis variety theater on Pearl street in February. In June ho went East and came back to this place a few days be­ fore the killing of Dr. Haddock. There was a saloon connected with tbe theater. There was a bar up-stairs and another down-stairs. “Doc" Darling and a brother of witness were bartenders. Dan Moriarty was doorkeeper and Billy Doraam^^treasurer. Witness knew John Arensdorf; he became acquainted with him in January, 1886, and bought beer of the Franz Brew­ ing Company to the extant of $50 or $75 a week. Arensdorf was seen nt tbe theater and about town frequently by tho witness. Leavitt proceeded to describe in detail his return to Sioux City from Mount Clemens, Mich., Into in July; how the plan of hav­ ing him join the Saloonkeepers’ Union was proposed; how the meeting mentioned by Witness Adelsheim was held and I Leavitt made a member of the organization. After he joined, several persons, among them Arensdorf, the defendant, agreed to the proposal tha: something should bo done to rid the town of temperance workers. Arensdorf said there was $700 or $809 in Junk's safe, which he thought sufficient to effect tbe purpose. Arensdorf raid that something must be done, and suggested that Haddock's or Turner’s house be blown up or burned down. The next day witness went down to the SL Paul Bailroad yards to see Dan Moriarty and try to get him to whip Dr. Haddock. They were willing to give him $100 for the job,*snd witness thought him to be the proper person for the work. Moriarty re­ fused to whip anybody. Witness testified to seeing Dr. Haddock on the stand us a witness in the injunction cases then on trial. The day before tho saloon-keepers' meeting, on the evening of Aug. 3, Leavitt mat by chance Plath, Treibcr. Fred Munchrath, Jr., and two Ger­ mans, whom he afterward knew to lie Granda and Koschnitzki. They were stand­ ing on the Sioux City National Bank cor­ ner, on Fourth street, talking about Had­ dock's trip to Greenville. Leavitt joined in the conversation. Witness described the hack ride to Greenville “to see how tLo preacher got his evidence in the whisky On returning from “Greenville.” which is near the easioni limits of town and is a local, designation. the party was driven directly to Junk's saloon.

As they reached the street "Bis­ marck” came up and said the buggy had turned- Arensdorf said: "Let's go up and see.” Arensdorf, Peters, Treiber, Plath and Leavitt went toward the stable on Water street, Arensdorf and Peters lead­ ing.

Munchrath was seen there by vtitiicss and heard to say: “If you lick Had­ dock, just give him a black eye or some­ thing that won’t hurt him or get any of us in any trouble.” Witness heard Arensdorf say something about “a drunken Dutch­ man.” Leavitt remained calm, and Arensdorf did not more a muscle during this portion of tbe evidence. As Leavitt continued to explain tbe manner of the killing the audi­ ence was breathless with interest. The witness described how Haddock came from the stable, moved north on West Water by Arensdorf, who bad walked out from the fence to encounter him. “They met. and Arenadorf looked into Haddock’s face; Maddock raised bis hand; the hand came Mr. Marsh caused Leavitt to leave tbo did thia in aching Marsh, gazing in his him, and than turning quickly with raised hand against the who SSW the Mrs. Leant! was called to tbe stand, and corroborated her husband's testimony in regard to the conversation which |io had with Arensdorf upon the sidewalk in front of their rooms on Fourth street, soon after the murder of Haddock, in which Arens­ might be aroused by this scene of a'heart­ dorf spoke of beading Petero away to broken wife's anguish.

One year $1,(MX) would be charged for u cat tarn thing, tho next year $1,100, and the next $2,100. The year tbe highest oommusion was paid was the boat year for business the man ever had. in another case tho commissions, as a rule, were figured st 10 per cent. In one in­ stance 1 he commissions were not paid in money; that is, the parties swore they never paid u dollar. But one of the gang would want a sealskin sack. The merchants didn't deal in them, but had connections through which they could get one, and the firm kept a fictitious account to which such articles were charged, and tho cost amounted to 111 per cent-, which was added to tho price of the goods sold to the coun­ ty. The transactions were not confined to one branch of-business. One house had sold some goods to the county. . They were told, ’You can sell a groat many goods to the county, but in order to do so you will havo to pay 10 per cent.' One member of the firm, knowing one of the Commissionera, felt it was an outrage. He went to that Commiss io n&r, a prominent one, confident that the proposition would arouse his 1 tbe Commissioner's) ire in on instant. He told him, and the Commissioner said: ‘1 think you folks bad better pay the commission. The thing is just here. You sell the county at your prices, charge Hi per cent additional, and pay this commission over, and then the county will be better served, have better goods at less prices than it is buying or can buy them Jtoul others.’ Ho went back and told hia ' partners, and said: *We won't do anything of tbe kind. We will pay no commissions to anybody. There are our goods, and if.iliey want to buy them at our prices we will sell them, but we will not pay a penny commission.' That was the strongest cose that came before tbe jury. “The way in which tbe swindling was done was pe’rfeclly wonderful. There were increased prices, short 'weight, shortcount, and short count way up into large figures. We didn't get st the bottom of that artesian well. It is only 300 or 400 feet deep, but a good many hundreds more were imid for. That was short measure with a vengeance. A certain amount of money was to do paid on all contracts. It would be handed to a person indicated. That person would hand it over, or be present at a meeting when; the divvy wns made. At one time a Com­ missioner made the collections, but tho others became suspicion? that he didn't divvy fairly. Men swore that they were told they must not pay that Commissioner any more money, but pay it to So-and-so, and they did, and they never bad trouble." One cf the neatest of the many swin­ dles exposed by the Grand Jury was the arteKinu well at the Infirmary. By the terms of the contract with W. H. Gray, tho price was to lie: For the first 800 teet, $2.5l» per fool; next 400 feet, $3; next 300 feet, $3.50; next 100 feet, $4; next 100 feet, $4.50; next 200 feet, $5; next *200 feet, $6; next 200 feet, $7; next 10U feet, $8. Under the con­ tract the drilling was to stop when a good flow of water was found, and the maximum d-.plb of the well wns placed at 2,450 feet. Experts sent ont by the Grand Jury to measure tho depth of the well broke tho trap that had been fixed 300 feet below the surface, and found the actual depth of the well to be 1,557 feet. At that depth u lib­ eral flow of water was obtained and drilling was stopped, but bills were put in tbe County Board for a depth of *2,4uO feet, the maxi­ mum depth called for by the contract. Chairman Klehm once attempted to measure tho well. The weight woulo go down, but in trying to get it back the line formed it■elf in long loops, and it was impossible to do the measuring. Mr. Klehm, though a practical builder, aid not find out the cause of the trouble, but concluded the wcjl wus as deep as was claimed. After consider­ able trouble the experts found and broke an arched trap, ana then had do trouble about finding out the actual depth. When they drew out their line they found at­ tached to it the one Klehm had used. On this work the eouitty has been saved i 3,000. Vouchers for this amount were issued, but payment has been stopped.

The surrounding ms his strange 10*. j m 1facta new aurrouncung career have just been brought to the surface by virtue of an effort by his attorneys to have an indictment for forgery against hhn quashed in a New York court. This indictment has been pending against him since 1854. thirty-three long years. The amount obtained by the forgery was $18,‘DO, the Chemical Bank being the victim, Hi 1867 he was a partner in one of the largest pork-packing establishments in Cincinnati. The record shows that in that year be was,accused of being on accomplice in the burning of the steamer Martha Waahington on the llississippi River, by which some thirty passengers lost their lives. Ho wm tried at Cincinnati in the United States Court, before Judge McLean, on an in­ dictment for attempting to swindle insuranco companies. The investigation waa very exhaustive, and he was acquired, Subsequently tbe judicial authorities of Helena, Atk., near which place the conflogralion occurred, obtained the custody of bis body, and tried him for mnrde^ Ho wm sgain acquitted. About *’ * this time Kusano went to <•-• Califor — ­ nia and assumed the name of William K. Rogers. His first venture in that State was the keeping of a store in Sacramento. Probably he made a little money nt that, for afterward he engaged in mining at Gold Hill, Nev., with a partner, and to­ gether they achieved a great success. In a few years Kissane hud amassed between $21X1,090 and $309,000. Twenty years ago he married a beautiful young lady, who was twenty years his junior. Theytuve now either seven or eight children. The wife is about forty-five years old. She js amiable and beneficient of disposition, and is much loved by all who know her. Kissanc bears his sixty-five years well; and is regarded by nearly all his Heighten, as a man of the very highest character. Ho lives in Sonoma County, not far from San Francisco. A (.'lereland paper prints an interesting chapter iu the history of Kusano. It re­ lates tbe circumstances ot tbe burn­ ing of the Martha Washington, and tbe efforts of Sidney C. Burton to run down and pfinish the gang in which ho spent $5(I.UOO and traveled 150,000 miles. It savs that M». Frances H. Bowman, now living in Cleveland, a daughter of Mr. Burton, has documentary evidence relating to tbe case, which includes a book written by Mr. Burton. It then says: “Few persons are aware thut emituariiu of Kusano were instrumental in causing Mr. Burton's death. In the summer of 1865 he visited New York, and, m had l«een tbe case throughout his travels in the United Htates and Canada, his every movement was watched by K insane's agents. Early in tbe fall he became tbe victim of a mysterious illness and returned to his home here. He lingered a few months but never recovered, dying ox. Doc. 11. 1855. The fact was cstablufied at the time that Kisaone's friends had succeeded in sintn. gling a subtle {.uiwou into his food and his death resulted, de­ spite the efforts of the best physicians to save him.

The Imperial Dic­ tionary describes it as a dance which originated in England and is very pop­ ular with British sailors. The reel is defined by tho Imperial rs a lively dance peculiar to Scotland. All the dictionaries define the reel as a lively Scottish dance. Hannah More writes to » friend : “As Westmoreland was so near to Scotland, you won d naturally bo fond of a reel." A jig wm originally a lively tun®, and was afterward ai»t>Iied to a quick, light dance which folowed the music. The -Irish jig is a dancing tune of two or thiee sections, ? written in six-eighth time, and th«i dance to which it is played is a groat favorite with tho festive Irish.

Thone whose experience covered as much as three years of Ute war, with numerous campaigns, had a varied fortune of it. They saw victory and defeat; they had pleasure and distress; as it has been well pat, they saw “the bent of times and the worst of times.” Buch, at least, was my experience; and deeming it necessary to present the shades, ss well aa the lights, of the picture, in order to gel a tolerably cor­ rect photograph of the war as it was, I will candidly set forth this week an account of one of the piost absurd and mortifying failures that anywhere happened to tho Union troops. . Tha nursery rhyme declares that King George*, with twice ten thousand mon, And no better—in fnet, rather worse— than that did some ten thousand troopwho went down to the coast of Texas from New Orleans, in September, 1863. They went out after wool, and came back decidcdjk shorn. The private soldier's keen sense of the ridiculous wns aroused by the untoward events of that week, nnd the following dog­ gerel, to the tone of "Fttr Days/ was much sung about the camps that fall: Sabine Pass! Most mortifying ore tho —_ recollections inspired by the sound! I never knew or heard of just such another fiasco during the wnr aa there occurred; and, indeed, one of that kind was enough for a very long war. I have beuxxl tbat tbe great and goad Jefferson Davis—the same whom we ar­ dently desired to, but did not, “hang on a sour-apple tree—in his book about the wnr, indulges in n good deal of crowing over what happened to the Yankees down in that obscure corner of the Confederacy. Well, ! should say he has a right to. And since the war is long over, and every­ body is happy, there can be no harm in giving all the details in this affair, as the reader will have some trouble to find them anywhere else. Tho locality is tbe lime where occurred in the fall of 1886 a great storm and inun­ dation, with loss of life. If the reader looks at the map he will see that it is tho southeast corner of Texas. The Sabine River is the boundary lietwoen that State and Louisiana. As it nears the Gulf it broadens into a lake which opens out into a navigable inlet, where there i* a light-house, and where some defensive works had been thrown upon the sands. As seen from tiro deck of a steamer out in the Gulf a couple ot miles—and that was as near as I got to it—the whole place looked low and barren, and very suqdy. Sabine City, fo called, situated somewhere about hero, was understood to be one of those insignificant little hamlets which at the West and Southwest ore always called “city." A current army joke about “Bras­ hear City, in Louisiana, declared that, when, there were no soldiers there, it comprised "the wharf, the warehouse, four or five other houses,\a hundred niggers, ar.J n million mosquitoes.” In tbe agreeable lull which followed the fall of Vicksburg aud Port Hudson, the troops had two months' rest. That sultry summer was no weather for campaigning, and wa should have been unite willing to have the vacation extended. But as August waned the air was full ot rumors of what was going to be done. It was rather strange, but no groat movamuut of our armies was ever kept quite secret. Some­ times the shrewdness of the soldiers led them to conjecture precisely what was to be attempted: but there were unquestion<bly cases where there, was a “leak” at headquarters. Bo in the first days of that September it was pretty accurately guessed, if not positively known, that we were going to Texas. Before quitting this subject, for lack of ai other chance to say them. I will men­ tion some surprising things showing how the news camo to us ia Louisiana. Wa usually got it through the enemy's lines, several duvs in advance of the steamer from New York. Sometimes the news was so surprising that we distrusted it; but it usually turned out that the Con­ federate MVrspaporn and pickets told the truth. Thus, the news that General Hooker aud tho defeat at Fredericksburg. reached us first from the enemy. A more astonish­ ing fact wm tbe following: The disloyal element in New Orleans, at least one month before the event occurred, predicted with perfect oetainty that General Butler was to be relieved by General Banka. They alone had the news, and when asked where they obuunrd it they would wink and reply, “From Washington ’’ And they told the truth!

RAILROAD LEGISLATION occupied somewhat the attention of the two houses last week, the Senate haring passed two good and much-needed bills. The first i-< to so amend the-law of two years ago that instead of being limited to tbe list of seven automatic cur couplers (as selec t.-1 bi the commission designated in the bill originally requiring tbe u«e on all freight cars ot automatic couplers), the companies shall be ut liberty to select from outside or inside tho list. This was done from thg foci that one or two of the best and most inexpensive were rejected for some trifling nnd seeming objection, par­ ticularly one invented by Mr. Joseph A. Richard, of BL Louis. Mich., which was rejected in making up the list because tho link is an inch or two longer than they thought it should be, nu objection that in reality,has no foundation, as the coupler works under all circumstances and with any ami all curs of different roads. The other bill was one tbat has been called for very loudly by the recent terrible railroad accidents that have been followed by even greater lost of life by she disabled trains taking lire from the car stoves. The bill prov.des that car stoves of all names nnd kinds (unless encased in n solid room ot boiler iron! must “go,” like the Chinese. As introduced and printed, it pro­ vides that this must take effect by Novemler 1, lbbh, but nt tho solicitation of railroad representatives, the bill has been amended so as to extend the time to Feb­ ruary 1, 1881’, but the bornite restored the original date nnd then passed the bill.

With Hood and his army of 45,000 men, which was liable to be rein­ forced any day, in his front, and his ob­ jective point in the hands of die enemy, the movement would undoubtedly prove disastrous, as the enemy could, by means of its cavalry, harraaa him in front, by the dank and rear, break his long line of communications, and in tbe end, perhaps, be would be compelled to retreat, with his army greatly re­ duced. Whilst Sherman was revolving thia great scheme in bis mind the rebel genera! was also revolving one of an entirely different character. Suddenly Hood transfeired his army from die front to the rear, oomintMicrd his wild invasion of Tenneseec, and Sherman saw bi* way open for an advance through Georgia to tbe sea-coast. Nov. 16. 1864.

Live oaks with their festoons of Spanish moss, palmettos and other semi-tropical trees aud plants abounded, giving novelty andjnterest to the view. This country is specially adapted to the growing of rice and we passed through many plantations de­ voted to thia product.

A raw-boned granger from Arkansas entered the restaurant nt the Union Square Hotel. The gaslight dazzled his vision somewhat, and prevented his making the usual careful scrutiny of the bill of fare. He ordered a tenderlofci steak and disposed of it in a great hurry. When the check was brought he arose and staggered to the cashier’s desk. “How much?" he inquired. “This darned -tight doan’t give a feller a Chance ter read." “Sixty cental" replied the cashier, in a dazed sort of way. "Sixty cental” exclaimed the Arkan­ sas man. “What d’yer take me fur? Sixty cents for a piece of cow that didn't cost eight! PH see ye hanged ’fore I pay it" His voice rang through the dining­ room and office, and startled all the gueate. Two heavy porters were dis­ patched by the clerk to bring him -^ithin range of the clerk’s persuasive voice. The granger generously re­ sponded, but refused to come to terms or to lower his voice. “’Taint the money," he replid to the clerk’s entreaties to pay up. “but it's the principle of the durned tiling.

Lanhiwo, April 11, 1887. Perhaps the most important item of businnaa don* last week, tf not. this MH-sion, was the passage by the House on the 8th of Repressutativs Oviatt's bill “to provide far tbe penalty of d-ath in certain <«es of murder," which failed to pass that body on the 24lh of March, by a vote of tea*. GO; nays. 40. Since’ that vote the Bouse so amended the- bill as to taka out the provis­ ions in regard to capital punishment in certain aggravated case of assault, and when the test vote earns, on tho 8th, with eight absentees, at least three of whom (Messrs. Chamberlain. Reader, and Wood ' voted for the bill before, it passed by a vote of M yeas to 37 nays. It is known positively that at least 16 of tbe 32 S®n*tore will vote for the bill, and, as two years ago, its discussion in that body will be long and earnest, and that it will pass and become a taw is not at all improbable. Following is the full text of tbe bill: Section 1. The people of tbe State of Michigan enact. That every person who shall hereafter be convicted of the crime of murder in the first degree shall Buffer death, if tbe jury before whom such person shall be pied so recommend in their verdict; but if the jury do not sorecommend, such con­ vict shall be punished by imprisonment in the State Prison for Hie; Provided, That should any person plead guilty of tbe crime of mutdar in the first degree, sentence of death or of imprisonment for life may be made, in the discretion of the court. Sec. 2. Whenever any convict shall be sentenced to tbe punishment of death, the presiding Judge of the court at which said conviction shall have taken place shall ap­ point the day on which such sentence shall be executed, which shall not be less than six months and not more than one year from the date of sentence. Sec. 3. The presiding judge of the court at which said conviction shall take place shall immediately thereupon transmit, or cause tob^Xrausmitted, to the Governor of thi*—Stale, by mail, n statement of such conviction and sentence, with a copy of the notes of the testimony taken by such Judge, or by tho official stenographer of the court, upon tbe trial. The expense of such state­ ment aud copy shall bo estimated st tbe rate allowed by law to county clerks tor making copies and exemplifications of reeord< and pleadings, and shall be audited - bv the Auditor General and paid cut ot the Treasury of the State. Sec. 4. Whenever anv person shall be convicted of murder in the first degree, for which sentence of death shall De awarded against him or her, the clerk of tbe court, ns soon as may bo, shall deliver to tho sher­ iff of tho count? a certified transcript of tho conviction and sentence; and the sheriff shall thereupon cause to be executed on such convict tho judgment and sentence of the law. Sec. 5. If it shall be made to appear to the Governor that any convict who is under sentence of death has become insane, or from any other cause it appear to the Governor to be advi*able, the execution of such sentence may bo respited by the Governor from time to time, so long at he shall think proper; and if any female convict who is under sentence of death, shall be quick with child, the Governor shall direct the execution of such sentence to be respited, until it shall be made to ap­ pear to him that such female convict is no longer quick with child. Sec. 6. The punishment of death shall in every case be inflicted by hanging tbe convict by tho neck until he or she is dead; and the sentence shall, st the time directed by the sentence, or by tho warrant of tho Governor whan the execution thereof has been respited by the Governor, be executed within the walls of the jail of the county in which the conviction was had, or within tho inclosed yard of such jail. Sec. 7. The Sheriff of such county shall be present at the execution, unless he shall be prevented by sickness or other casualty, and also two of his deputies, to be desig­ nated by him, and he shall request the presence of the prosecuting attorney, clerk of the court, and twelve respectable citizens, including a physician or surgeon: and ho shall j>ermit the counsel of the convict, and such ministers of the.gospel a* the convict shall desire to be nresent, snd also such officers of the jail, deputies and constables, military guard or other as­ sistants as he shall see fit. Sec. 8. Whenever a sheriff shall inflict the punishment of death upon auy convict in obedience to the judgment and sentonce of the court or warrant of the Gov­ ernor, he shall make return thereof under his band, with such warrant, if any. ot his doings therein, to the clerk of the court fh which the conviction was had, as soon as may be. . Sec. 9. For his services performed in executing the sentence of death upon auy convict the Sheriff shall receive the sum of fifty dollars, and his actual and necessary expenses incident thereto and connected therewith, to be allowed and paid by the county in winch such conviction was had, in tbe same manner that other claims are allowed and paid. Sec. 10. All acts and parts of acta con­ travening any of the provisions of this act are hereby repealed. I-OMHIULE TEMPERANCE LEGISLATION. Captain Cooper left Fort Apache, Arizo­ na, on the 14 th of October, 1886, and sighted the Indians on tho evening ot the 17th, they being on the top of a mountain and he al its foot. Hi at once gave pur­ suit, chasing the reuskins over five moun­ tains and fifteen miles distance. The In­ dians in their flight abandoned their stock and nought refuge in various places. All were hunted out and surrendered. Cap­ tain Cooper was bom in New York in March, 1845. Upon the breaking out of the war be enlisted in tbe Seventy-first New York Regiment, being then but sixteen years of gm. After his dis­ charge he re-enlisted. At the age of twenty he became First Lieutenant of the One, Hundred and Twenty-first Regi­ ment, United States colored troops, and toon afterward was given a position on Gen. Birney’s staff. At Petersburg he re­ sumed the command of hie men, however, and participated in tha closing battles of the wa> At the close of the war. through the instrumentality of John A. Dix, Thur­ low Weed, A.

Bills were introduced for a straight prohibitory law, something like what the defeated amendment proposed, for more stringent provisions in every resoect.foi local option, for timber licenses and larger bond*, etc., etc., in anticipation of the |>os8ible defeat of tbe amendment. While it is yet uncertain which bill will be passed, or just what its provisions will lie. one thing is certain, and that is that before the present Legislature adjourns the liquor liws will be much more binding ou tho ■< Ilers than they have over been, and tbe H.UJOO votes cost this week for the total nixilition and prohibition of the traffic, in­ dicate unmistakably that all laws looking toward tbe suppression or control of tua basin res are to lie much more rigidly en­ forced in the future than they have been in the past. . The Legislature has refused for tbe pres­ ent to order a legislative investigation of tbe'chargvs against Superintendent Footer, of the State Public School, believing that tbe board of trustees of the institution uro able and honest enough to make the in­ vestigation now in progress searching and satisfactory.

Also, the bill regulating the practice of medicine and surgery, the object of the bill being to limit tho practice closer to the regulars, aud shut out the quacks. Axuxo the bills passed by the Senate on tho l-fth Inst, was one providing far an Assistant Auditor General. Also one protecting an elector who can not road frum f r aud and deception at tho polls, which rends as follows: "Any person who shall furnish an elector who cannot read with a ticket, informing him that it contains names different from those which are written or printed thereon, with intent to induce him to vote contrary te bis inclination, or who shall fraudulently or deceitfully change the ballot of any elector, by which such elector shall be prevented from voting for such candidate ar cnixlidatcs as he intended, shall be deemed guilty of misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof be flmxTln a sum not exceeding >100. or imprisouinent In the county jail not exceeding ninety d<y*. or both fine and imprisonment, in tho discretion of tho court."

Novel-writing nowadays is a pre­ carious and not very profitable calling. A very fair price, as thingn go, is $2,000 for tho serial rights of a full­ length story, and assuming that tho author makes$400 by the three-volume edition, and as much by a cheap edi­ tion, his total profit would amount to $2,800—not a great deal, considering the labor and time that the writing of a novel involves. On the other hand, there are undoubtedly prizes, and if a writer reaches the top of the tree, and is as prolific as Miss Braddon, he can make, if not a great fortune, at any rate a handsome inoome by his pen. Miss Braddon, 1 should think, makes more money by fiction than any other writer of the day. Her fertility is pro­ digious. I believe Miss Braddon gets about $5,000 for the aerial rights of a new story, and as she writes something like two a vear, or at any rale three in two years, her takings from this source alone must be considerable. There may be two or three writers who com­ mand as high a price, but none who is equally popular and prolific. Whether her work* will live is another thing. I am speaking of the present—Cosmo­ politan. French surgeons disagree concern­ ing the nature of lockjaw. Some re­ port having successfully treated it as a purely nervous affection, while others insist that it is a contagious disease, one eminent observer contending that it is often contracted by man through germs from horses.

And may we not hope that ttii illustrious example will have a tendency to further modify at least, if not to wholly change, the custom of wearing mourning for the dead? It was the request of this great preacher of life and hope, and of n cheer­ ful religion, that bis family should make no change in their dress because of his death: and with this request they will cheerfully comply. The almost universal custom of wearing mourning involves sudden changes, and often uncomfortable haste iu preparing the new garments, aud «ith very many the ex­ pense is not n light item. And then, why should the sorrowing sort be rendered so uncomfortably conspicuous? Or. svhy should they obtrude nu necessarily their sor­ rows npon others? l.ut wearing mourning does both these, and it does more.

Indig­ nation flashed through the north, with the swiftoes® of electricity. Loyal men were touched to tbe quick. Tbe stars and stripes had been hauled down in Charleston herb .r. but went up, aa if by spontaneous impulse, to tbe very top of every flag-staff throughout the loyal north, and the mumoriable order of Gon. Dlx: “If any qne attempts to haul down the American Rag. shopt him on the spot,” was reiterated by every school boy. President Lincoln called for 75,000 troops in the morning, before night he was offered 800,000. Then fol­ lowed the long, four years war—the most desperate and bloody tbe world has ever known—and the flag—the syinl>ol of our nationality; beneath whose folds the fathers of the Revolution fought, bled and died—was set up again, not only in Fort Sumter, but throughout secessiondom, where it will forever float—the emblem of lib­ erty, tlie glory of an un-divided, un­ conquerable Republic. 0.

Tho latter was proof against the appeals and arguments of his Aleven obstinate asso­ ciates, and' as they were equally fixed in their opinions, the contest ends in a drawn battle. It Las been a protracted and weari­ some trial, involving tho examination of over one hundred and twenty witnesses, with an immense volume of testimony.

"It is probable it will be in the May term. [Sioux City telegram. 1 Judge Pendleton made-the dosing argu­ ment to tho jury for the defense, and Hon. M. D. O'Connell closed for the State. Sat­ urday afternoon the case was given to the jury. The instructions of Judge Lewis to the jnry were full and clear, covering ev­ ery point of law involved in the case. Re­ ferring to tho question of conspiracy, tbo Judge said the jury may and — take into consideration all the facts in to the prosecution of - liquor c courts to close the saloons on or re Angust 3. tho part that Mr. Hu ___ had taken in those prosecutions, the rela­ tions which Artmsdorf and his alleged co­ conspirator* sustained to the prosecution, tbo appearance of Arendsdorf and his al­ leged co-couspirulors on the streets on tho night of the murder, and also the meetings of the • saloonkeepers at tho various halls prior to that time. Under the indictment, tbo Judge held, it was competent to admit evidence to prove the fact of conspiracy, and if tho jury is satisfied that a conspiracy wa* formed with which he was con­ nected, evidence of tbe acts or say­ ings of conspirator* is admissible wheth­ er defendant was present or not. In relation to testimony of accomplices, tho Judge instructed that it should be cor­ roborated, and tho law says the corrobora­ tion must be such as connects or tends to connect the defendant with the commission of tho crime. It may be circumstantial or by witnesses, but it is not essential that it should cover all tbe matters involved. In proving an alibi, the Judge held, the burden of proof reals upton the de­ fendant. It must be established by preponderence of evidence, and evidence of that nature is to be critically examined and weighed, because of the facilities offered for introduction of manufactured testimony. In closing the Judge administered a severe reproof to one of too jurors, whose actions in court and talk on the streets have been subject* of comment. Tbe Judge spoke ns follows: This is the season of old things. They Are n feature of fashion iu regard to warned, just as they uro the craze in china and tapestry.

The Speaker replied that Major Saunderson'moite tho gravest charge', but these could be met in debate. He hirr.self was unable to interfere. • Healy responded that be would say what he thought of Saundcreou regardless of consequences. If Major Saunderson re­ ferred to him, he had no hesitation in say­ ing that Saunderson was a liar. This re­ mark was greeted with rousing Parnellite cheers. The Speaker . called upon Healy to withdraw his expression. Healy replied: “ I am not entitled to rise until you eit down." Tho Speaker resumed Ida rhair. Healy again took tho floor and said: .“I am only able to meet the charge in one way. If you rule Major Saunderson in order, my expression ia equally in order.

The Greit Reservoir Weakened by the Collision of Two Freight Train*. I Chicago special.’, A terrible and peculiar accident occurred Sunday afternoon nt Palatine, a atation twenty-six mites northeast of Chicago, on the Chicago and Northwestern 1tail way. By the bunting of a large railroad water­ tank five men were killed outright and four were seriously injured. At an early hour in the morning two freight trains collided at 1‘alatiue. Tho engines were wrecked and a number of cars demolished and buried from the track. The colli­ sion occurred directly beside a large wutertank which stands near the depot. The ground was tom up, and some of the supports must have been lowered. Tbe water-tank had a capacity of loq.tiOO gallons, and contained at the time about 8<.’,00lt gallons. A wrecking train wn* sent out from Chicago, aud a large force ot men set to work to clear up the wreck. As it wo* Sunday, and the people of the village and neighborhood were idle, a large crowd of men aud boys gathered around the acene of the wreck, watching tho work uf (he wrecking hands. As the greatest amount of work wu* being done right beside the water-tank, the largest crowd of spectators collected there. Men and boys stood around and under the water-tank, and leaned aga-nst the large posts aup|>orting it Suddenly there vol a report, in volume as loud as i toe discharge of ten ordinary pieces of musketry, and the structure collapsed. ! The great sides of the tank were forced : outward, the hoop* parted like threads, and. under the weight of 80,000 gallons of water, the heavy, watersoaked limbers and wrongnt iron descended on the head* of toe unfor­ tunates underneath. It would be impossi­ ble to picture the sight. Hemmed under tho parted tank, and for n moment totally submerged in toe deluge that followed, were toe people caught in the crush. When the water had flowed off—the work of but a second—five men, instantly killed, could be seen through the crevices of the piled-up staves. Tho following are those who were killed and injured: Edward Wenke, of Palatine, killed: William Garau, of Palatine, killed; George Myer, boy, of Arlington Heights, killed; William Myer, brother of tbe pre­ ceding. of Arlington Height*, killed; Fred­ erick Boeger, of Arlington Heights, killed; John Asmust, of Palatine, crushed abo'-rt the bead, probably fatal; Charles Storms, a boy, of Palatine, probably fatally injured; Augustus Fisher, of Palatine.’ severely bruised; unknown man, of Palatine, badly bruised.

Yet, although be seemed to be in tbe best of spirits, he steadily lost flesh. He had always been one of the most methodical of men, and the change told on him. Three weeks ago Mr. Mitchell and Dr. Kean left Florida, teaching this city April 2, and going immediately to the Hoffman House. Two days later Mr. Mitchell com­ plained of feeling, unwell and developed feverish symptoms, but he soon recovered and was able to go down town, although the feverish condition returned at interval*.

Such Is the Termination of the Pro­ longed Express-Robbery Trial at Moms, HL iMorri* (IU.) ipoclaL] After a trial lasting thirty days, Schwarts and Watt have been declared by a jury of twelve gtood men and true guilty of tho murder of Kellogg Nichols, and their punishment fixed at imprisonment far life in the penitentiary. When the^jury re­ tired, on Tuesday afternoon, it was the general opinion that there would bo a dis­ agreement. After a secluaion of a little more thus five hours word was sent to Judge Dibell that they had reached a con­ clusion. A few minutes afterward they filed into court. When Judge Dibell said: “Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed upon n verdict?" E. H. Robinson, the oiliest juror on the panel, arose and handed the verdict to the Sheriff, who passed it up to the court. Judge Dibell scanned it, and then read it: “We, tbe jury, find Newton WaU guilty of the murder of Kellogg Nichols in the manner and form a* charged in the indictment, and fix his penalty at imprisonment in the penitentiary for too term of his natural life." The verdict as to Schwartz wa« then read. It finds him also guilty in tbe manner and form charged, and fixes hi* penalty at imprison­ ment in tho penitentiary for his natural life. Each juror then in turn ratified the verdict There was a death-like silence in tho court-room.

Mr. Haddock at Sioux City failed to agree, and tbe case is oue in which any opinion based on the evidence is worth very little. If there was not rank perjury there wonld have been if it had been necessary. Probably 'there was bribery of somejurors and intimidation of others. The one juror who stood out for a verdict of guilty was told by the agents of the defense to name bis price. The records of crime present nothing more atro­ cious than thismurder, which involved a conspiracy for the deliberate assassi­ n st ion of a citizen concerned only in the enforcement of a law. There was evidence enough to show that Arens­ dorf was a party to the conspiracy. It seems that it was not enough of an outrage against the sacredness of their duty for eleven jurors to vote for the acquittal of the defendant. Nine of them must needs flaunt their utter con­ tempt for decency, sobriety, and moral­ ity by visiting the Franz brewery to drink the health of Arensdorf in the beer which was free to flow through the blood of the Rev. Geo. C. Haddock. Judge Cooley Ims issued a manifesto declining to interpret or decide upon tbe provisions of the inter-state com­ merce latf before complaint* of ita act­ ual violation are brought before the commivion. He rebukes the railroad corporations who have taken advantage of the act to “stick in the bark" of the “phrases of the law ; inventing doubts and imaginingdangers,” and “imposing additional burdens upon localities con­ sumers, trades, professions, manufac­ turers, classes of travelers or employes, straining and repressing every con­ struction in favor of the corporate treasury, and quoting the new law as their authority for all manner of petty exatcions.” He says that tbe commis­ sion can and will “cope with such con­ duct." The truth is the railroads at once set their wits to work to make the law ns odious as possible, and the com­ missioners' first duty aa custodians of the law is to set these corporations down hard, without waiting too long for specific complaints. We judge from the perusal of a col­ umn article in the Beacon, a newspaper printed at Millen, Ga., that the writer was somewhat excited over our obser­ vations of Georgia in general and Mill­ in particular, and charges us in lan­ guage more forcible than elegant, with bearing malice “toward our own south­ land" Well, Mr. Beacon, there is no chip on our shoulder; come up, any time, and make all the fun of our Mich­ igan malaria you want to.

CHAPTER L You can not find a sweeter spot in all Tyrol than the Valley of Volothol, with .its winding silver streams and its green meads. The high mountains which .ynrround it aro constantly lost ia the cloudil that sail over them, and the sun peeps down op tbo valley in one long straight line. . It is a bright August morning, so early that the doors of tho cottages ore not yet unclosed, and the blackbirds are'warbling forth their matin songs, and hopping from bough to bough. Presently a peasant opens his door, and looks np at tho blue sky with u smile of satisfaction. This day is to be a holiday in the village; aud, in the enduing week, the corn is to be cut, for harvest time is near. Now we see a girl, with her pail of milk balancing upon , her head; she is tripping along m fast m she can. in order that she may finish all her work before the chapel bells ring. In the middle of the valley stands a attaint old house of prayer, surrounded by s grave-yard: and across tho space come the clear, musical accents of n young girl’s voice, singing gayly. . The song proceeds from a handsome stone house, which rises proudly and high above the wall which incloses it Its wide portal stands open; nnd on a rustic bench under the porch aits tho fair singer herself. Ber head is bent downward, and her hands are king idly in her lap. By her side sits another, whose busy finger* are employed in making u wreath or crown of silver tinsel. The first mentioned female is very pretty— by some she is called beautiful. She is dressed in a red petticoat made short enough to display a pair of small feet and her faultless ankles, nnd her bodice is of some blue material, laced over a spotlessly white chemisette, whose wide sleeves are turned back to her elbows, showing her rounded and dimpled arms; while spread in front of her is her embroidered muslin apron, the greatest worldly treasure the maiden possesses. The damsel is tall and slight. Her eyes are brown, wi|h long lashes. which sweep tbe downy cheeks beneath them. Her companion, who is her senior by a dozen years, looks good and kind, as one who can reflect upon her past life without regret While the maiden is yet hinging, a win­ dow of the house is opened, and a lady, who still retains the remains of great beauty, leans forth, and in authoritative tones commands silence. “Cease!" she cried. "Cease your loud •ong! Do you forget that you are close to the chapel and the burial-ground?" she added, angrily. The young girl looked round the flowery porch, and showed her laughing face to ner mistress. "Why sbouldT not sing. Miss Isidore?" she asked. simply. “The dead sleep too soundly to be disturbed, did all the girls in tho canton sing their loudest. It can not, surely, be a sin to hum one's voice merrily, since the innocent birds aro nearly always doing so?" .." “You are rude, Franzi—tho rudest of all my maids!" returned the lady, not a whit softened by tho ether's artless speech. "And if you refuse to be quiet at my bid­ ding, I will inform tho vioor, my uncle! Is there no work for you to do in the bouse? Shame upon you! At this early hour to be dressed up like a peacock, and sitting doing nothing!" Franzi's face grew red m a poppy, m she listened to the above words. - “My work is already done. Miss Isidore," she answered, humbly. "I fetched tho food for the cows yesterday; and for the rest of my work, Katrina has promised to do it for me." . "Katrina, indeed! As if she hadn't rupted ths lady. "And for my dress. Miss Isidore, you know that I am chosen for one of the garland maids, to wait on the new priest, Albert Unterwald, and that you kindly gave me permission to attend tho ceremony, nnd afterward the festival." “Ha!” ejaculated the lady, closing tho CMemeni sharply, and disappearing. The maiden flushed deeply, and heaved "Don't mind her, Frunzi," said Katrinx *Mis* Isidore aays a great deal she doeant mean because, having nothing to do, the day hangs wearily on her hands. She meat complain, iu order to give her tongue and her voice some healthful exerenao.

The new priest's father is the wealthiest man in Volotho), and for many miles around it, and the garland maids are always 8e’?cted from amongst the rich farmers' daughters; how, than, is it that you are so favored?"

One of the publisher* of Hoye's Direc­ tory, speaking of the Western cities and tbo SreYoiUng boom, writes m follows of SU oseph. where he hM just issued the Di­ rectory for 1«S7: "Not only has St. Joseph incroMod in population nt a most satisfac­ tory rate, there beiux on increase in ono year of 6.M6, while the total population in round numbers is shown to lie 60,0(MI, but sho Lm undergone a spirited revival that augurs the outstripping of nil competition. Ten year* ago the cjty had scarcelv a dozen manufactories, where ax the year ’’87 finds her with some 17oof all kinds, with thirteen railroads, the largest stockyards west of Chicago, some thirteen mile* of streets, paved with asphaltum, and as mnnv miles more under contract, with the electric motor soon to lie in operation on two of the car linen, nnd the cable line an rasured fact, and new enterprises springing up daily on every hand. Tho demand for real estate bar been steady and active. For tho past year St. Joseph has led almost continually tho other cities of the United States in bank clearances, the per cent of increase over 1886 reaching in one case 140.7, and up to date maintaining on average of almost 100. Down to Dec. 31, 1886, St Joseph’s job­ bing houses did a business of $110,539,­ 000, showing an increase in th» business of 1886 over that of 1865 of $23,111,028. A fair indication of the increasing business may bo sought in the fact that St. Joseph now employs a force of commercial trav­ elers numbering 1,013 men." St. Joseph, more than any other West­ ern town, offers the best inducement* to men of small capital to commence a man­ ufacturing business, and to mechanics and laborers to find employment and build de­ sirable homes. The Science of Noses. Tho nose, wo all know, forms q prominent feature iu everybody’s ca­ reer, but it has been left to M. Sophui Schack, a Danish disciple of Lavater, to find ont that it is an infallible index to human character. He tells us in a book just published that his discovery is tho result of a long and patient study of this facial ol’gan among peo­ ple of/all nations. According to his experience, the moral and physical na­ ture of a person can be gathered from the forniatiou of his nose. A well-de­ veloped noae, he says, denotes strength and courage; a little turn-up nose in­ dicates cunning and artfulness; a deli­ cate, straight nose, taste and refine­ ment; a curved nose, judgment and egotism; and a thick, misshapen nose, dullness and want of tact. But this is not all, “The nose,” proceeds our physiognomist, “discloses to the intel* ligent observer the faculties possessed by the owner. It also indicates tho in­ tensity of bis intellectual activity and the delicacy of hi* moral sentiments. Finally tho nose, which belongs both to tho mobile and immobile parts ot our visage, reflects faithfully the fugi­ tive movements of our inclinations." If al! this be true, it is evident that peo­ ple who desire to disguise their char­ acter or dissemble their passions must in future beware of their noses, or, rather, they must wear false ones.— Pall Mall Gazette.

Its population fluctuated, probably not be­ ing over 3,000, exclusive of its garrison, op to within a few years, when a coterie of millionaires, recognizing ita superi­ ority as a winter resort, invaded the place, and now it is rapidly combining the modern and palatial with tbe an­ cient. i,LEi APRIL 98. 1887 DOW! II DIXIE. NO. VII. ' । Oar trip from Charleston to Jackson­ ville, Fla., was an uneventful, and we might also say, uninv'tingune. It is spring, but the grass and foliage have not that green freahness of oar northern springs. Tbe Howers, too, although they are very beautiful, and bloom in profusion, lack the fragrance which at­ tends our northern flowers, bat this is characteristic of all semi-tropical coun­ tries. We have not the space nor the inclination to go into a description of Florida, and we refer those who desire a detailed description of tbe “Land of Flowers,” to tbe real estate agents, who will freely give'them all they desire, and more to. Tbe orange season was about over, yet we saw in many groves tbe yellow fruit showing oat from the busby tops of bright green leaves. Tne orange industry of Florida is increasing rapid­ ly, but where we Undone man who says oranre-raising is profitable we find two who say it is not. JACKSOXV1LLK. Jacksonville, the commercial renter of Florida, is a very pretty city. It is located on the broad St. Johns river, 18 miles from the ocean. It is the ship­ ping port of Florida, and many ocean steamers, especially at thia season of the year, are lying at its wharves. Jacksonville has a population of 90,000 people, with the addition of 10,000 ex­ tra during the winter season. Just now it fairly bustles with activity. It is .a great place for hotels; has street cars, gaas light, good stores, floe houses and pure, wholesome, artesian water. Beautifully located at the "elbow” of ttib St. Johns river, it faces up the riv­ er and presents to the traveler by water the impression of being a much larger city than it really is. We took a trip up THB ST; JOHNS RIVER. As far as Palatka and can say w never enjoyed a finer water ride. The St. Johns ia truly a wonderful river. It is one of the few rivers in the United States that runs north. It carries an immense Inxiy of water and is in places four and five miles wide, assuming the appearance of a great inland lake. Its extreme length is 400 miles, and it is navigable for laige steamers 900 miles. Along its banks may be seen orange groves and the winter residences of rich men. , SILVER SPRINGS AND RUN. Another attractive trip was an excursion we took to Sliver Springs, 126 miles south and a little west of Jacksonville. Silver Springs has an area of about three acres. It is as its name implies a spring, or rather springs, and ita waters flow at the rate of 30,000 gallons per minute from tbe earth, and so far down as to be cemperatured to 72 degree*. Its waters are pure as crystal, and a 10-cent piece can l»e seen at a depth of 70 feet The "Run” is a good-sized river, formed by the overflew of the springs. We boarded a little steamer and took a nde down this run to tbe Ocklawaha river. Tbe course of the run for nine miles winds through virgin forests of the densest kind. Tbe crys­ tal waters reveals every living thing in its depths—it was fairly alive with fine large fish. We saw immense numbers of baby alligators sunning themselves on logs, etc., also two great ugly ones, which were ten or twelve feet long, and plenty of turtles and snakes of the deadly poisonous kind. The banks of the run are low and swampy and cov­ ered with cypress and palmettb'Trees. OFF FOR ST. AUGUSTINE. For years we have bad a great curi­ osity to view the oldest city in our country. Through the courtesy of M. R. Moran, Gen. Supt. and Pass. Agt., of the J., T. A K. W. R’y, we were sup­ plied with a bit of pasteboard which carried us over the St. Augustine divi­ sion, without being called upon to re­ linquish any of our coveted ducats. This road is a narrow guage, but is finely equipped and has all of the modern improvements o( the Michigan Central. We were whirled along at a rapid rate and soon found ourselves at SAINT AUGUSTINE. CITY OATES AND SEA W<LL. The much famed city gates rank first among the cariosities of this ancient city. They aro square pillars of coqui­ na surmounted with Moorish capitals, and bearing the marks of great antiqui­ ty. The rains of a wall extend.to some distance from both of these quaint pil­ lars, and it is naturally supposed that they were built to defend the land side of the city. These pillars remind one of thj entrance to some of the southern cities of Spain, but just how long ago they were built, is a matter of conjec­ ture. The sea wall is also built of co­ quina capped with granite and extends from Ft. Marion along the bay in front of lhe city for a ifaile. It was began in 1690 by Gov. Diego de Qairoza y dosada. In 1887 48 the United States govern­ ment repaired the old wall and contin­ ued it, capping tbe whole with granite. Tbe wall a os built, to protect th<\ city from the encroachment of the sea. It is ten feet high and as tbe coping is wide enough for two to walk abreast, it is a favorite promenade. , FORT MARION. This celebrated structure is also built of coquina—a material foimed by the action of sea water on ehells ami sand and makes a very durable magonry. Its walls are 21 feet high and 12 feet thick. It has four bastions ; 27 case­ ments, 35 feet long and 18 feet wide; its compliment waa 100 guns and 1,000 men; it is surrounded by a moat and ita main entrance was by a draw-bridge. In all respects it is a military castle, and so in former times, was designated. The fort was commenced in 1690 and completed in 1756, tbe labor being per­ formed by tbe Appalachian Indians and convicts from Mexico. One of the casemates waa used as a cathedral and lias an altar- and two inches of holy water. Another casemate was used aa a court room and a gloomy dungeon 20 feet long and 6 wide, received those sentenced by the stern tribunal. Many strange stories are told of the dreadful tragedies enacted within these subterratean vaults that make tbe blood cur­ dle and set tbe hair on fire, but as they flavor very strongly ot tradition we will not recount them. INDIAN PRISONERS OF WAR. The great attraction at Ft. Marion at present, however, 14 the confinement bele of Apache Indians, the remnant of Geronimuo's tribe, it will be re­ membered that these Indians have been a mcnsnce te the territories of Arizona and New Mexico from the 50’s, by their periodical outbreaks from tbe reserva­ tion and raids through tbe southwest. The last of these raids occurred in *85. May 17th of tl|at year Mangus with 140 warriors left Apache leaving a trail of blood to guide the soldiers. They were followed into Mexico aud defied tbe United States and Mexho over a year, finally surrrondering after dictating their own terms. The remnant of the tribe, about 500 men, women and child­ ren. were confined in Ft. Marion, Ger­ onimo, Mangus andLNatchez, being in solitary confinement with other ring­ leaders of the last outbreak in Ft. Pickens, Florida. Among the Indians at Ft. Marion are several noted chiefs, which were pointed out to us during a trip through the fort. The sight is a carious one and hundreds of people congregate around the fort every day. Passes jnside are very difficult to pro­ cure—we only securing ours by expiat­ ing to tbe general in command upon the power and influence of the press. The youngsters romp al will over tbe fort green. In our trip through the fort we saw a numberot babies almost, with improvisbed head gear executing the war dance in one of tbe casemates. Blood is thick and will tell. These Indians are held as licenced prisoners of war, and have nothing to do but eat and sleep. They draw sufficient ratwns from the government to keep them fat. What work there ia, is done by the women, the bucks spending their time in gambling. The Indians enjoy fair health, there having been only twenty deaths since their incarcer­ ation, these being buried on the north beach. There has been in tbe same time five births. St. Augustine, "ye ancient city” by tbe sea, is the oldest in the United States, having been settled in 1512, al­ though it did not receive the name it now bears until Sept. 8th, 1565, when it was taken posesaion of in the name of Phillip II, King of Spain, by Pedro Menendez de Aviles. We saw In the Catholic Cathedral—a unique and an­ tiquated church constructed of coquina at a cost of over <16,000 in 1793—the other day, a painting of considerable merit representing tbe landing of Pedro Menendez. It was the ancient custom v>. of Spanish explorers in taking posses- I aion of a country to first hold mass, and the above named painting ropre- ■ aenta the first mass in St. Augustine, j Sept. 8.1565, and the place waa named in honor of that celebrated Latin Fath | er St. Augustine. i The ancient city is looated ou a pen- | inauiar. two miles from the sea, between three salt water rivers, known ' as Matenzaa, St. SebaMuui and North.* Tbe street* of St. Augustine are nar- though it was used before the war as a slave market, and it is said that in it has been auctioned off many a jmxit black man. An obelisk erected in 1819 under the direction of Don Geronimo Alva rez, to commemorate the Spanish constitution, occupies a prominent portiou of the plaza. On the downfall of the Spaniards iu this country orders were given that the monument should be demolished which went so far as to leather” Glove MOORISH PALACES. The "Villa Zaraydo,” the home of F. W. Smith, of Boston, is a work of re­ fined Oriental art, fashioned after the most celebrated Moorish palaces in Spain. It is constructed of coquina cemeut, a light gray culor, and withal so complete, graceful, harmonious and elegant that it has been pronounced the most beautiful residence in Ameri­ ca. There are other buildings, finished or in course of erection, which are genuinely Spanish or Moorish in every detail, and which harmonize with tbe mellow tone of Che one and two handrediyeare old Spanish buildings, narrow streets and general quaint air of the uncient city by the sea. PONCE DF. IS FOR SALE IN NASHVILLE ONLY BY Kleinhans LEON. But tbe structure that excites tbe attention aud admiration of all is the Ponce de Leon, the new hotel now in process of erection. It ia not a hotel in tbe crude sense, bnt a Moorish palace, which it is almost a desecration to call a hotel, i The architecture is purely Spanish, from tbe tall towers and over­ hanging tile roof, to the courts and Arcades. It is being constnictec of Coquina concrete, with arches, window cods and trimmings of deep red brick. The outside meaaurementof this superb structure is 350 bv 450 feet. It towers upward from ita court, arcade and four wings to a central dome 140 feet high. The building u to be completed strictly a on grand order without a thought of expense, and will accommo­ date 600 guests. H. M. Flager, its own­ er, is a wealthy New Yorker. Mr. Flager is also building a <4.000 church which when completed he will present to the M. E. church. Tbe Ponce de Leon artesian well is also the biggest thing of •;* kind. Mr. Flagler is a man of great undertakings and he conceived the idea of sinking a well so deep into the bowels of the earth, as to procure water hot enough to heat his palatial hotel. He sunk a twelve inch well 1,400 feet, and then lost his drill and was unable to.secure it, or go farther. But as a result he ba* a well which flows seven million gal­ lons of water per day, with a sufficient pressure to produce 75-horae power, and indicating 86 degrees Farenbeit. ' There are many otberpoints of inter­ est about St. Augustine. The present U. 8. Barracks building was, centuries ago, the St. Francis convent; the post­ office building, an old palace—the Span­ ish Governor's bouse. Tbe military burial place contains three coquina pyr­ amids set up in memory of Major Dade and his 107 soldiers, who were massa­ cred by tbe Seminole Indiana on Dec. 28, 1835. The light house, erected at a cost of <1,000,000, is one of the finest on the Atlantic coast. Although St. Augustine has less than 5,000 resident population, it is pre-eminentlr a watering place, and is full of hotels and boarding places. Daring our stay here, we stopped at the Mag­ nolia House, W. W. Palmer, proprietor, which has the reputation of setting as fine a table as is set in the South. The clerks are so polite and obliging, and servants so attentive to material wants that should we ever go to St. Augus­ tine again—and we think we shall, as it is an attractive spot, which we shall keep ever green in our memory—we should consider it a privilege to stop at tile Magnolia. 0. 8.

On both wings the flags were floating io the breeze in-absolutely contrary directions—one north and one south—while from the-flag staff at tho east front of the building the starry banner was waving directly east. Three flags on three different paits of tbe big building, one floating north, one south and ono east, yet the wiud was blowing at the rate of twenty miles an hour from the south southwest.—Lansing Republican. ....... / ’ Don’t?'Make the Mistake Of thinking that you can buy W PAPER tDECORATIONS Cheaper, or find a better assortment than you can with us.

In this column is an advertisement headed “Spring Tooth Harrows,” which claims that the patents heretofore ex­ isting on Spring Tooth Harrows, have expired. This statement is false, and is intended to deceive farmers. Other frames and teeth are represented as the Original Kalamazoo Reed Harrow, and it is claimed can now be purchased anywhere, all patents having expired, la answer to this I would say, that I wrote D. C. ami H. C. Reed 8c Co., of Kalamazoo, the manufacturers of the original Spring Tooth Harrow, with the long curved teeth, which fasten on tile under side, asking them if the pat­ ents had expired, and received the followingreply: Our patent is not only on the tooth and its manner of fastening, but also on the frames. The patent is No. 201,­ 946 and dated April 2nd, 1878, and ex­ pires 1895, thus showing it has eight years yet to run, and they will hold responsible and Danish for violation any party manufacturing, selling or using any spring tooth liarrow so con­ structed or its equivalent, except those bearing their name and represented by their agent. 1 place this notice here for the bar­ pose of cautioning any parties who have such goods offered them; for their own benefit, and not as an advertise­ ment.

Fences, houres, barns, and everything in tho lino of the storm, which was about half a mile wide, were picked up, rent into splinters, and cast down hundreds of yards away.

Fifteen or twenty thousand dollars seems a large sum to spend yearly for telegraphic tolls, and yet tbero are no less than twenty firms in Chicago who pay that ainount of money every year for the nae of a wire between this oity and New York alone, says the Chicago A'tftrs. These aro mostly brokers whose business demands speedy com­ munication between buyer's and sellers in Chicago and the great market on tho New York stock exchange. Ten years ago the ordinary telegraphic communication between tho two cities sufBcod, but as it frequently took half an hour to deliver a message on tbe stock exchange, even when a broker’s orders, which were, given the priRAerence over everything, it was necessary to find some means of almost instantaneous communication.

Lester & Co. put in a wire from their office to the Western Union Telegraph Company's Building and leased from that corporation a wire to New York, for which tbo sum of <23,000 was to bo paid annually. This didn't include tho wages of operators, which amounted to $2,500 more. Tho scheme was a big one, but soon paid enormously. Specu­ lators saw tho advantage of having di­ rect communication with Wall street, and other brokerage firms were soon compelled to lease wires or stop con­ tending for business. Then the Balti­ more and Ohio Line came in and leased wires for $20,000 a year and the West­ ern Union met the cut. The'Baltimore and Ohio cut to $15,000, but tho other corporation wouldn’t stand the reduc­ tion, and the price for Baltimore and Ohio wiros went to $18,000 f>er year, which is now charged on all new con­ tracts, while some old ones bring but $15,000, and tho firms holding con­ tracts with the Western Union pay $20,009._____________ __________ iatic of a grimly humorous side of hts dt*- Impressive Services by the Clergy al the position mav be told.

Before removing the casket from the house, Bev. Dr..Keeu<i read a prayer in the presence of the family. The scene at the church was iu accord­ ance with the teautiful ritual of tho Episco­ pal Church, of which Mr. Mitchell was a devoted member. About all of the seats in the church were reserved for the relatives and friends, for the Governor and staff, the State and city officials and delegations of societies,-com­ merce and railroad bodies and delegations. The casket whs opened, end the remains lay iu state until the hour of the funeral. A constant stream of people had been vault, ont of which, by woe sleight-ofhand, he had atolen money lor years and falsified tbe books so os to cover it. Ex­ actly how it was done could not be ex­ plained. and nobody could tell bow mneb tosh he bad got away with. The sum stolen was supposed to be hundred* of thousands of dollars, and the thefts bad Leon on for at least six or seven years befo?Wbe.T were discovered. MilcbeU was talking about tbe weather o«e day to a friend, and trailed liahtiy at tbe lo<w. “Bnt." said be, "there’s my nephew, John Johnston, who is an expert book-keeper and hss charge of the Looks, and be can't tell bow it hapSened. It's a dom'd good joke on John ohnston that be couldn’t see what was go­ ing on before his eyes." Tbe late Chief Justice E. G. Ryan, of Wwcc-nsin, had somathing of the toady in his disposition while he was struggling for a livelihood as a needy lawyer. After bo became Chief Ju-tioe he decided all the cases under the absurd granger laws against the railroads, and tbe St. Paul line suffered severely. The Chief Justice met tbe rail­ road magnate after the decisions were given. “ Why, how well yoa are looking, Mr. Mitehell,*' said the Chief Justice, with an affability that at that period he showed to few men. “Yes," soul Mitchell. “I’ve been getting fol I fat) bn your decisions." The sneer cut the great jurist like a knife, and he walked away without a word. BASE-BALL. President Young Addresses a Letter to . the Official Scorers of the Naf tional League.

Tbe face of the dead man looked life­ like and natural, and there were many sad scenes and incidents daring the day a» old friends looked at the dead man for the last time. The casket was heavily dratted, and on its lid rested a cross of caUa lilies. A special train from Chicago bronght hundreds of people, many of whom could not get near the church. During the ser­ vice tho broad avenue wm blocked with a dense mana of humanity that bad gathered to pay their last respects to the dead mill­ ionaire and citizen. Hundreds of strangers from over the Northwest and from other parts of the country were present. * The service wns impressively conducted by Rev. Dr. Keene. Mr. Mitchell's old friend and pastor, and Rev. E. G. Rich­ ardson, rector of .BL James Church. At its close a vast funeral cortege formed and slowly wended its way to Forest Home. There was 'no military display, and the long line that followed the remains was made up of railroad and other employes of the big enterprises ot which Mr.' Mitchell wm the 'head, of old settlers, and of societies in which he had long held membership. As tbe cortege passed through the Soldiers' Home a guard of 600 old veterans acted as an es­ cort from one gate -to the other. At the grave in Forest Home Cemetery the ser­ vice was brief, and was conducted entirely by Dr. Keene, and consisted of the com­ mittal and a prayer.

A Harking tiir llsscrve Rule. The unwarranted attacks of certain papers u|x)u President Spalding, of the Chicago Base-Ball Club, regarding the aale of the releases of players to other clubs has earned the oonleuJpt of lover* of fair play, says the Inter Ocean. The reserve rule was the salvation of the professional bast-ball clnl>s that adapted it. The National agreement pro­ tects the smallest club in its list, and no matter how good a player they may de­ velop, they are protected against the deser­ tion of the player by the offer of a big salary. Bnt for this rule the spirit of rivalry which exists between the profes­ sional ball clubs of tho country wouhPresuit in tho total disintegration of every pro­ fessional team at the end of each season, and the competitive bidding by elute for ball-players' services would dually result in extravagant salary lists that would bank­ rupt every club that attempted to stand up under it, and effectually kill the sport pro­ fessionally. The Chicago* were tho last to sell a release; all the other clubs had ■old releases. 1‘resident Spaldmcr said: “The case of McCormick is peculiar. He, with Glasscock. Briody, and another, deserted from the league, and, tempted by offers of increased salaries, they all went into Lucas' club in the Union Association. Th* Cleveland Club promptly expelled them for their action. The Union AssoeiUtiou went to pieces, and these deserters found themselves blacklisted and thrown out of employment. At the personal so­ licitation of McCormick (who came to me with tears in his eye*, begging me for God'* sake to put him in a way to earn a living), and st tho request of Mr. Lucas, I interested myself to secure the reinstatement of the deserters. They were reinstated. McCormick went to the Providence team, ■nd his habits were so agninst him that the Providence management wanted to <e­ lease him to mo for $6'hi. I bought his release, but not until I had a talk with him, ui which he said he wanted to come to Chicago, and promised me that we should have nothing to complain of on the score of his habits. I-ast year his habits were so notorious that we could not enduro them, and hence the discipline against which he rebelled. We did it in his inter­ est as well ns our own. I submit whether I have no*, been McCormick’s friend, an d whether he has not good ground for being grateful to the management of the Chicago Club."

The credits will, at course, be included in your official returns of stolen bases. V.'o i»« come, however, to tho point which I desire to emphasize.

Tho investigation of the co-operative mutual life insurance compaeiee doing boniness in this State, ordered by the Legislature a month' ago, baa ix-en con­ stantly conducted since by the special commilteo composed of ItepraaentaXives Cross, Douglas*, and Goodrich, and Senators Westgate and Goman, sided by‘Stenog­ rapher Haines, of Bay City, and other necessary-clerical help, with Sergeant-ntArms Stoner of the Senate. The commit­ tee has quiatiy dropped down upon the several companies 10 be investigated, un­ announced and when they lea^t expected them. In liddition to tbe woik done and t estimony taken in different portions of tne State, much testimony has been taken at tbe headquarters of the committee at the capital, so that tho committee has taken altogether eight hundred and twenty-five pages of closely written type-writer tes­ timony. The report was made to the two houses on the x2d. and sums up the testi­ mony with the conclusions and recommen dationa of tbe committen in an able and exhaustive manner, the report <-overing 243 pages of tho same style ot closely written type-writer matter. Tbo testimony shows that there is not only “something rotten hi Denmark," bnt that tbe whole system of co-operative mutual benefit insurance as earned on in this State to-day and for the past few yeois is a most gigantic fraud and awiudle on tbe confiding public, who are vcarly pouring their thousands into the lap* of tbe officer* of these associations, who pocket so much of it asthe^ please, and pay back to the friends of those who die in good faith that they have left a lega­ cy larger or smaller Io some dependent rel­ ative, as little as they choose, the balance, in 1 ome case a* high us four-fifths of the total receipts ;>t the company, being ~cb^rgedupto“^gtpen»es."

The average amount pa d by these sixteen comyauiea during 188*3 on each $1,000 of losses is $166: while the amount of expense for the same concerns during last year was $129,276.06, and tbo amount paid m losse* was $79,574.93. Tho average age of the members of these sixteen concerns is sixtythree or, on average as high as the maxi­ mum age of the risks taken by the legiti­ mate cumpanit a.

The charges preferred ore of a very serious character, ami, if sustained by suf­ ficient evidence, the said Milo H. Dakin should be ex|wlle<l from the House. 2. Your committee therefore recommend that the investigation of said charges be conducted by thu House, with tho S|>eakei in the choir, the officers and reporters of the press in their respective places, and the doors of the hall and gallery open, with a view to the greatest publicity, eousiatent with decorum, in accordance with rule 58of the House, and that thia committee con­ duct the examination on the part of the House, and be empowered to stibpa na wit­ nesses and employ a stenographer.

Tho trees had lost their fruit, nnd their leaven, dry and yellow, wore dropping to tho earth, nnd being scattered nil about, while on the mountains might be seen the white wolf being chased by the huntsman. “Weil, Albert, if you must go away from us. go, ic heaven's name. To-morrow I will ante you to Rosenheim. Bnt are you really better? Are you strong enough to leave your home?” These words were addressed bv old Unterwaid to his son, who were silting in an arm-chair, looking very pole, and much wasted in body. “Yes, father," answered Albert, rising from his seat, and standing upright. "lam as well as ever I was iu my whole life, and I am longing to bo employed.” “I hope you'll have no more sudden at­ tacks of bruin fever,” observed tho old man. shaking his head. “Yet your illnosa was not to be wondered at, after all. Study and anxiety had shaken your nerves; then came the festival, and all tbo excitement attend­ ing it No. I was not much astonisod to see you fall sick on tho following day. knowing how hard ypu had worked prior to it But, my son you still look very pale.” "I think change of air will quite recover ms." Albert made answer. "I wish I had something to do. I want work—work— work!" “But do not go-far away from us, my “I must—I must, father! The further I go from Volothol the better for me in every respect Believe me, father,” he went on to say, in passionate' accents, “believe me, 1 am only doing my duty in going hence. Every added moment I remain here will only render my going away a harder task for me to perform.” Unterwaid regarded the speaker ia sur­ prise and perplexity. “It is well, my boy," tho old man said; “yet I can not’under­ stand why yon so urgently desire to leave us. The people around you respect and love yoc. and your homo is the best homo in Volothol. Bnt there! I will not seek to inquire into tho motives of your conduct. I would yon had chosen a farmer's life, and married.* I thought last night, when I mw you dancing with Franzi, what a handsome couple yon would havo made. Tbe girl has no money, and no friends, poor creature! But, for all that, I should not have had any objeetion to her for a daughter-in-law. Yon lovod her when you wore a boy. and •ven when you were ill, during tho last two weeks, you talked of her. ana you fancied you were once again playing with her in thefielda" Here a look of extreme suffering nessod over tbe countenance of Unterweid's lis­ tener, bur tbe old man remarked it not “Tbo mere ravings of a distempered brain, father," Albert rejoined, in a voice that was far from being steady. At this point of the conversation, Madame Untenrala, burst into the room. She was quite breathless, and sank upon a chair Without uttering a word. “What is the matter, wife?" demanded Unterwaid, looking other lu surprise. "You have been running, I should suppose, or you have just seen a ghost!" “I have been running." she responded. •I have some good news for Albert, aud for ourselves, also. Ob, I am bo very happy!” “Goon, wife!” said her husband, laugh“Well, you know that our chaplain is ill, and obliged to go to Munich for further ad­ vice. how he is worse—so much bo. that ho can not come back, and our son is ap­ pointed in his place. Tbo vioar gave me the pleasant office of conveying tho good nows to you, Albert," she said, turning to her son, “and commissioned me to give you this letter, in which all is got down in black end white. And now, my deer son will re­ main with us, thunk heaven! Ob! at the thoughts of such happiness I don't know what to say for jby! she added, presenting Albert with the paper she had brought. Albert was leaning over tho back of a chair, looking half-scared, but his parents remarked not his emotion, or, if they did. they attributed it to a cause widely diffor- thank for this piece of good fortune?" the mother ran on. “Why. Miss Isidore! Ah. she is an excellent woman, nnd a pattern to her sex! You must not forget to acknowl­ edge her kindness, Albert. But how is this?" she continued, after a pause; “no one speaks a word!

Beginning, a Courtship. Having selected his victim, thenext thing the young man—for the ilrst paces of tho pamphlet aro devoted to the stern sex—must do is to begin his courtship. The method of procedure depends upon tho kind of girl to be dealt with. She may be a stranger or the parties may be acquainted. She may be a wayward co tuette, a domes­ tic young lady, a prude, a proud stripof a thing, an actress, a blue stocking, a widow, or worse than all tho others combined, an* old maid. The triple widower tells how to tackle them alL Ho seems to have an exjiericncc with everything in petticoats. "tfo pave tho way," he says, “for a courtship, a young man must study carefully the part he has io act. His 4m, in all these preliminary proceed­ ings, must bo to do that which is neces­ sary, and at tho same time prevent a suspicion of what he is driving at No jewelry or articles of dress should be given as presents in this stage of pro­ ceedings, as she would immediately suspect your object These must be re­ served until you aro an accepted lover. After thus preparing the girl to approve of you as a lovrfr, the next proceeding should be to ascertain whether her parents or friends would object You should do this by the aid of some friend whom you could make your con­ fidant He might easily find out how the land lay without putting any direct questions, for there would be no harm in hinting that ‘John seemed to have a partiality for Lucy,’ and he wondered whether there was anything in it, etc. If the feeling of tho family could not be got at in this manner, a more direct course should be pursued. Whenever you are persuaded that tho family of the girl are agreeable to the arrange­ ment, vou can then begin your regular courtship, borne couples, after the preliminary steps before described, would run naturally into a courtship without knowing when it really com­ menced; but if the girl is shy it may be necessary to have the matter per­ fectly understood. On one of your visits you will say to her; *1 heard something to-day which I am afraid will make you feel bad for the moment, even if it does not cause you un­ happiness.’ ‘What is that?’ she naturally inquires. You reply. ‘ Mr. Brown says that people talk about us — that it is rumored that I am very thick about here—am paying you serious attentions—that i* will be a match, and all that sort of thing. I told him I was afraid I was not ar lucky as that.* If the girl is pleased with the announcement you will know it by her answer. If sho does not answer at all you can continue your speech by saying: T did not coutradict the re­ port, and 1 hope you will not be angry ■when I say that I wish it was true. ’ If she still remains silent, or if she * peaks kindly to you, you should follow up your advantage by a frank declaration of your passion—not in hackneyed, novel-reading phrases, but in matterof-fact form,‘to wit. ‘Lucy, you must excuse me for telling you that I find your society more and’ more agreeable every time we meet—indeed, I think I should be unhappy to be deprived of it; and if I am allowed to continue my visits, may I not consider them those of an accepted lover?’ On her answer or on her silence (which is the same thing) depends your fate. If you are thus accepted the whole business is through with, unless a future quarrel should part you.' It is true you are not ‘en­ gaged,’ but that will naturally follow.” —Exchange. SAFE SURE.

Now to return to the raid iu ques­ tion: While the command halted at Bean's Station tbe Twelfth Ohio Cavalry were sent eastward, some thirty miles, in tbe direc­ tion of Rogersville,'to look after Basil Duke's command. About half way to Rog­ ersville, at a small town called Mooresburgh. we camo upon part of his command and put them to night in the direction of iiogeisville.

Tho darkness was intense, and,tho silence so marked that, but for tho faint glimmer of an occasional light in some of the houses, we coujd easily havo believed our­ selves miles from any settlement. In tbe matter of taking oar position there was no choice, and in a few moments the twenty horses were standing in lino across the road, their wearv riders lying upon the ground in front of them awaiting develop­ ments. Two videttes were stationed about two hundred paces. in advance of the picket, with strict orders to let no one pass. There were no roads save this and tho main one leading into the town. And as the balance of our regiment were pursuing tho enemy toward Rogersville, we could look for an approaching foe only from this direction, ana should wo be approached from the scuta we could rest assured it was an enemy. The extreme darkness of the night com­ pelled us to depend upon sound rather than sight, and in consequence a silence almost profound seemed to reign around us. Strange as it may appear to those not familiar with the fact, our horses seemed to catch tho spirit pervading tbe troopers, and, at times, appeared listening intently as if to catch the faintest sound. . Tho time arrived for relieving the videttes upon the outpost. I accordingly selected two men for the relief, and we cautiously advanced to -the post On nearing it, we could hear, far in the distance, h sound like to the quick tram­ pling of hones, and as it came nearer we could also discern tho confused murmur ot voices in conversation and laughter. No mystery remained now for ns to solve, and the five of us ranged ourselves in line across the road, with carbines loaded to their utmost, resolved to maintain our posi­ tion agninst any charge, no matter what its character, or die in the attempt Nearer nnd yet more near came the cavalcade, and os we waited, listening now with bated breath, the mind was busy arranging the possibilities and probabilities of the coming rencounter in such a glow of light and shade upon tho mental canvas that the lapse of twenty memory. It was apparent from the reckless, noisy mirth of tbe troopers that they had not the remotest idea ot meeting resistance in that locality. When almost within challenging distance, and their conversation hod be­ come perfectly audibh to us, the following from the officer in command of the ad­ vancing squad fell upon our ears: “Oh, well make it all right with the pickets; yee, we can make it all right with them." Almost on the same instant rang out clear and sharp from our post the picket’s stern challenge: -Halt! Who comes there?" “Friends." “Dismount one and advance." The clatter of hoofs ceased now. but tho jolly laugh and bantering talk continued. Impatient at their seeming delar, our order “Oh, yee. Don't get excited now; just keep cool; we’re all right. You know Major Day, Basil Duke's command? Don't be uneasy; I'm Major Dav: just keep cool now, boys; we're all right.' Why, yon know Major Day!" exclaimed the verbose Al within two paces of tbo muzzles of our carbines, to tin utter astonishment, he was again ordered to halt In a low tone I instantly demanded bis surrender. Taking a prolonged breath, he uttered in a sur­ prised tone. "Whs-what! Yanks!" His bauds had at the same time sought his belt, end. unbuckling it, he handed over to me bis aide arms, accompanying the confounded fool I am! only out of a Yankee prison three weeks, and now caught in such a trap as this." And thus he would no doubt have con­ tinued to abuse bis own stupidity and in­ discretion with the same volubility as that displayed in his endeavors to convince us. previous to his captor*1, that he was "all right:" bnt I promptly checked him with: “How many men bare you out there, One summer nigh tin 1882 we had gone to bed in our tents, tbe conversation had about died out, end most of us were going to sleep, when suddenly Bill Jansen fetched a tremendous yell, and springing to his feet exclaimed: “I’m snake-bit, I’m snake-bit!" We hustled out of that tent in shqrt or­ der, each one expecting the dd rattler to •give him the next whack. I ran backward through tbe rear end of the tent, tearing it up from tho ground as I went, nnd hurried around to the front, where 1 found Janntn standing on one foot holding the other leg clasped in both hands. As 1 rsmd up he exclaimed, “Git a 'light quick, boys. I've got tbe snake by the head.” We procured a light quickly ns possible, and proceeded to feiieve Bill of his uhwelcomo bodfellow, when lo! upon examina­ tion wo fqund that an enormous hard-shell bug had crawled up his leg and bitten him.

Little Dandy. “Little Dandy" the boys called him. Ho joined our company in Vicksburg, just be­ fore tho siege, and none of us felt enough interest in him to make any inquiries, says the Atlanta ('onstitutum. His extreme youth—ht was about sixteen—would have excited our sympathy under other circum­ stance, but tho war-worn veterans in the trenches had no um for the curled darlings of the parlor, and Little Dandy's appear­ ance was against him. The Jad wore the gray uniform of a pri­ vate, but it was of the very finest material, finer than anything worn by our generals. His buttons had an unsoldicrly glitter. He sported white handkerchiefs, carried a pocket-mirror, and every morning he combed and curled his golden locks until they looked like a girl's tresses. “Hello, Little Dandy!" yelled the sol­ diers whenever the young fellow passed them. Tc this rough salutation he always re­ sponded with a bow and a smile, but bis soft ways did not win favor. When we met him in town we passed him by without notice, and in comp we let him alone. Lit­ tle Dandy wm proud after a fashion, too proud to notice the many slights heaped upon him. He went through his tontine duties without complaint, but nothing could induce him to abandon his pocket mirror und bis^ancy toilets. The siege was well under way, and we were no flutter acquainted with Little Dan­ dy than at first. He shared our meals of moldy corn bread and mule meat without u murmur, and it must be admitted that this somewhat raised him in our estima­ tion. But we - till had to learn that a true heart beat behind those glittering buttons. An angle of the enemy’s works was dongeroutly cIom to our intrenchments. and we had to keep our heads well sheltered. When we nuaed a bat on tbe muzzle of a musket it was almost invariably riddled with bullets. One morning we found our men being picked off by an unseen sharp­ shooter at the rate of five or six an hour. This astonished us, because we were all keepthg under cover, and the men who were killed all occupied well-protected positions. Where was the sharpshooter? Thia was the uppermost question in every mind. We were not long in satisfying ourselves on this point Just outside the angle of the Federal works stood a giant oak, whose leafy top afforded an admirable covert for a rifleman. A vigilant scrutiny convinced us that the man who was doing such deadly work in our ranks was concealed in this tree. Tv reach it be must have made his way there during the night and he would have to remain there all day. But we could not stand it even one day. His aim was so unerring that every time his rifle cracked a Confederate bit the dust. We tried a rat­ tling discharge of musketry, but a moment later the report of the rifle rang out and another of our comrades fell. It was evident that from our position it was almost impossible to hit the Federal nilemon. If we succeeded in bringing him down it would be by some lucky random shot. Possibly a man outside ths works would be able to draw a bead on our waxy foeman. but he would be under the guns of the enemy, nnd there would be a thousand chances against him. “I’ll kill him or die!” cried a shrill voice. “Good God! It's Little Dandy!” shouted Little Dandy had already made his wav tn tho open apace between the works, anil was edging around tbe right of the tree. The Federal* naw what he was np to and tired a Iroadride. When the amoke cleared away anti they saw tbe boy with a flushed I commanded them to advance. Imrtaad of obeying they metanlly wheeled about thu wild “rebid yell.' His last words were: “Bring my men inside the breastworks." His remains were buried at Nashville, Tenn., with great honors. No doubt many of the old soldiers re­ member how easy it was to stampede a company, a regiment, or even on army, when vigorously assailed while asleep. An incident of this character occurred during one of tbe campaigns in the Kanawha Val­ ley. After a hard day's march tho Confed­ erate army encamped, one cold night, where they could get a pretty good supply of fuel for fires. After building good fires and partaking of a scanty supper, they lay down for n night's rest, which was badly needed, not anticipating any danger from tho enemy during the night. Between midnight and dsy Captain Blev­ ins, of tbe Forty-fifth Viigmin, froze out, bis fire having iu a manner gons out. Ho got up with the intention of renewing it, when his attention was drawn to a very large tire a short distance off. which had been built by a portion of his company. He concluded to go out to that tire nnd warm. On tbe way an idea struck him that he could have some fun. So, catching up his arms full of green laurel brush covered with leaves, which makes a terrible popping and snapping when thrown into a not fire, he walked up to where fifteen or twenty of his comrades were lying sound asleep. Tho Captain, who was an athletic giant, six feet high, weighing over two hundred pounds, and could perhaps outrun or outjump any mon in the Con­ federate army, threw his laiirel brush into the fire and yelled st the top of his voice: "Charge um! charge urn!” Scarcely has such consternation and confusion over occurred around a camp fire. Aroused out of a deep sleep, nnd firmly believing that a hundred thousand Yankees were upon them with fixed bayonets, tbe men stood not upon the order of their going but went at once. Some got half stra^hteued up as they started, but the majority of them went off on their hands nnd feet, without coats, shoes, or hats. All the time the Captain was jumping backward end for­ ward over the fire, uttering imprecations of the direst vengeance. One poor fellow who had been border to awake, or was too badly frightened at the start to move, had Et onto his knees when tho Captain came ending over the fire alighting in cIom proximity to him. The poor fellow throw up his hands in a supplicating manner, and in a quavering voice cried out: “Don't shoot; I surrender!" The Captain could hold in no longer, and, bursting into a loud laugh, ended tho stampede. The mon enmo back looking­ pretty sheepish, and enjoyed the fun as well as they could under the circumstances. J. O. B. Rather a Big Contract. “What is this man's name?"

In this column is an advertisement headed "Spring Tooth Harrows,” which claims that the patents heretofore ex­ isting on Spring Tooth Harrows, have expired. This statement is false, and is intended to deceive farmers. Other frames and tbeth are represented as the Original Kalamazoo Reed Harrow, and it is claimed can now be purchased anywhere, all patents having expired. In answer to this I would say, that I wrote D. C. aud H. C. Reed de* Co., of Kalamazoo, the manufacturers of the original Spring Tooth Harrow, with the long carved teeth, which fasten on the under side, asking them if the pat­ ents had expired, aud received the following reply: Our patent is not only on the tooth and its manner of fastening, but also ou the frames. The Rate til is No. 201,­ 940 and dated April 2nd, 1878, and ex­ pires 1895, thus sliowiug it has eight years yet to run, and they will hold responsible and punish for violation any party manufacturing, selling or using any spring tooth harrow so con­ structed or its equivalent, except those bearing their name aud represented by their agent. I place this notice here for the pur­ pose of cautioning any parties who have such goods offered them, for'their own benefit, and not as an advertise­ ment.

Oats IChleago special.] t The first anniversary of the event which will be known to history an the Haymarket massacre occurred on Wednesday last. The night of May 4, imKi, six companies of police, numbering 175 men, under cotumund of Inspector John Bonfield and Capt. Ward, marched from tbe Despleines Street Police Station up Despleines street to a point a short distance north of Bandolph street, and there halted. A socialists' meeting was in progrew on tho street, and several fire-eating anarchists were doing their utmost to incite the people to a riot. Capt. Ward formally ordered the crowd “in the name of tbe people of the State of Illinois to quietly and peaceably disperse." Samuel Fieldon, the anarchist who was then making a speech, replied, “We are peaceable," and at the Baine instant a dyn­ amite bomb was thrown into the ranks of the police. Instantly upon tbe expiation of the bomb, and before the iiolice force had a chance to rally, a fusillade of re­ volver shots was poured into ihe police from both sides of the street. The police immediate] v rallied and returned the fire, and the mob fled with the police in hot pur­ suit. When the smoke of battle had cleared away the ground was found to be covered with wounded and dying policemen, stricken down by the deadly bomb. One officer tiled almost immediately and rixtysix others were wounded, six of whom died -within the next/reek or two from tho effect of\taefr jwdwhds. There was also one civittfcn found killed cn the spot and about twenty others wounded, but as the wounded socialists were mostly bidden away, tho total casualties resulting from the battle will never be known. At least twelve, and probably over twenty, lives were lost, and over HM) people seriously injured.

The police, instead of running away, rallied and charged the mob, and drove the conspira­ tors to their holes, utterly routing them nt the first onset. Numerous arrests followed, and the whole conspiracy was laid bare. June 21 eight of the leading conspirators—Spies, Parsons, Fischer. Engel, Lingg, Schwab, Fielden, and Neebe—were placed on trial before Judge Gary, and the next twentyone days were consumed in securing a jury. The details of the trial are fresh in the minds of all. It looted about two months, and resulted in a ver­ dict condemning seven of the prisoners to' death, and the eighth. Neebe, to fifteen years’ penal servitude. Motions in sup­ port of it new trial have since been argued before the State Supreme Court, ana the ease is still pending. The decision of the Supreme Court is not expected until Sep­ tember, and the general impression of all who heard (be arguments at Ottawa was that the motions will be refused. That verdict was the death-blow to an­ archy in this country. It is a warning that anarchy has no resting-place here, and that Johann Most and all his criminal as­ sociates and befooled followers the mo­ ment they begin to put their theories intp effect stand beneath tho shadow of the gallows.

'Two Columns of Reading Pre­ pared Especially for Our Feminine Leaders. - ACCOMPLISHED MRS. WHITNEY. "TFonMn’s Work, Women’s Wrongs, end Women's Rights—Something A neat the fashions. You can scarcely take up a newspaper, » never n monthly journal, not to mention a modern-day book, that you are not treated • to a dissertation, more or loss mild, ou “woman's work.” All that women are now allowed to exist for is to work to agitate, to be rattled around in thu dice-box of social progress. Her worth is punctiliously computed and , her right to to around measured by ber jA capability for work, and her versatility in it. In our grandmothers' days, to be sure, u girl was not worth much if abe could not work ber aamnl* s and make good buUnr. Thu dear old things, then giddy young things, framed their bits of embroidery, suspended them on tho wall over spindle­ legged chairs or tablos with brass, lionclawed feet, folded their pretty hands, sparkling with old-fashioned rings, over their starched bodices, and complacently awaited an appreciative suitor who wa< to ■ cany them off, where their ecstatic bl'uwfuluess would Consist in making the aforexuentioued good butter. The ethical principle is the tamo to-day, • but tho field has been widened, and tho dn• ties more onerous. It a woman does not wish to nink into utter oblivion, she must - do something and be somebody in the great - rushing outside world. Of courre, if, as we contend, this is a misfortune, it is all her own fault, all her • own doin^f. Fo; the last generation women ' have been crying-for their “rights." Her rights to what? Her right to work, to toil, to assume re­ . Kponsibility. to take care of her-«eif, to • worry and plan for othera; in other words, ■ her right to have a good-hard time of it. She has been wanting, in a sadly illogic il fashion, to bo the equal of her brothers, - while all tbe time, if she baJ only kept • quiet, never lold them differently, nobody would ever have suspieioned anything but the fact that she is away above them. However, she was snre she was entangled in a restrauiiug web of domesticitv, and • never rested until the revolution was at least commenced. Equal work, equal wages, she must have, and she may now have the liberty of serving the selfish pub­ lie instead of the inmates of her home. The world of to-day is as much tbe • woman's oyster ns the man's, and her wit, her skill, her finesse, her audacity, and her adaptability, are assuredly acknowledged. tine competes with men in every known • industry; she may prescribe pills and plas­ ters; she may teach theology and philoso­ phy, and she may settle disputes in the fo­ rums of justice. Tho worla of work is at her fo<;t. She certainly attained what she - cried for. Ono man Rays: “A characteristic feature • of the progress of tho century is the .en­ largement of spheres of usefulness for 'vomen. A multiplicity of feminine occu­ pations renders independence a delightful possibility for all.” Another one: “This is a living, breathing, workinp world, and woman has made up ber mind to do her « part in it. Within the next generation tho great txxly of women will be pursuing oc­ cupations side by side with the great body of mtn. It is only the few, os yet, who iabor; then it will be tbe great majority." The women, in their blind, go-ahead wav, rave brought about in men this lack of rec­ ognition to the claims that exist in their homes. These men may hardly realize it, but their children are brought into tho world cud too often taught with tbfcir first lisp to he independent, which means one leas for the father to care for, aud too often oae less to care for the father. Their wives are allowed to add some­ thing to the income, which means the loss of many domestic pleasures none but an • exclusive homekceper can supply. The wives do this with tbe utmost good faith, with an unselfishness, often, that is ‘ thoroughly womanly, yet it » the greatest mistake a young woman can posaibly make. Men are entirely the creatures of habit, and once they learn Io rely upon a certain amount of help coming from that source, they never c.-a*e to expect it, and sick 6r well, tired cr not, old ar young, they will fail to see any reason why it should not - continue as it was begun. | It requires some moral courage to be so - old-fashioned iw to believe that if men realized their priviledge*, there would bo but few women working to-day outside of • sheltered homes. , But perhaps we had better stop or we shall say something •mething we will be sot sorry — for; long for th; the;!old but we can not ert but !“ ~ *z~ ____days .. _ i------j it —--------------when Sappho and Hypatia werei— instances - of woman't^ntarprise, that their unhaiipy fates might Mjrve as warning* rather than models to imitate. * . • ■ ■ • > President Cleveland Declare* Against Railroad Land­ Grabbing. skirta, wore, at (he British Ministsr's Imlf. being the only toilet oT ofbiack and white that she wore.

Then they said it was made for a small actress, and a very pretty one, who said she did not core how much it cost so long os it was handsome. “I tell you," went on the assistant hus­ band, “these actresses are wonderful wom­ en, some of theiu. Wonderful!" Of course I expected to hear praises of Mary Ander­ son or Fanny Davenport. Instead: “Now there was one awfully smart aclreas that used to come here.

If yov’ll believe me, wo—my wife and I—cut and basted the waist, and she did the rest and wore it. There was not a single sutch of thread in' the 'skirts nothing but pins.

The Secre­ tary left bore for Charleston Monday morn­ ing. and he has not returned. He is ex­ pected back on Monday. Tho letter is dated last Monday, and was given to the press last night, so that tbe President wrote the letter and made it public while the Secretnwas absent, and the Secretary did not see e President’s letter to him until it was published in all the papers. By giving this letter to the public before the Secre­ tary saw it tho President made the snub ad­ ministered to the Secretary as severe as possible. There is some curiosity to see how Mr. Iximar will take it People who have paid attention to public land matters, recognize that an emergency existed which called for just such action as the President had tbe nerve and sense to take. 2 While agreeing in general with the theory that comets have their origin beyond the limits of tho solar system.

I know of an affair in ray county that strongly illustrates the dishonesty of men who are afraid to accept presents. A red bearded fellow named Watson went to work for old man Clark, and made himself so useful that Clark, who well knew how to appreciate merit, went to him and said : “Watson, I never had a man that I thought more of than I do of you.” “'Much obleeged to you’, repMed Watson. “ ‘And I have decided,’ Clark con­ tinued, ‘to give you my daughter, Lo­ rena.’ “'Muchobleeged to you,’ said Wat­ son, ‘but 1 ain’t acceprin.any presents.’ “Well, Mr. Speaker, that man was so honest that be would not accept the daughter as a present, but the next day he ran away with Clark’s wife.

These views were held by n small majority of the examining committee to be Prist. $7.00 heretical, and be was expelled, in conse­ I «>ul tip. Sciul »lA*p quence, from the M. E. Church.

He said that he boro his im­ prisonment patiently because be knew that he had done and said more than his friends in Chicago had who were now under sentence of death. He said a bomb was thrown and seven policemen, the tools of a corrupt government, went to hell, and seven honest men, that were never proved to have had anything to do with throwings bomb, were sentenced to be hanged by, an infamous court that was the tool of lthe capitalists. But he said those sevea mm were not yet hanged, nor never would be. The cowards dare not hang them.

The honor of being tbe youngest soldie* in the army who fought in tbe great war hu been claimed at different times for a good many med all over the country. We £resent herewith the portrait of Charlo? (ott, of Milwaukee. Wis., whom we be­ lieve to have been the youngest regularly mustered soldier that took part in the war. Hi* title of Colonel was not obtained in the .army, but since the war, os a member of Governor Busk's staff. Colonel Mott's people came from Eng­ land. where he still has relatives, one of whom is Colonel Rogers, of tho English army, who is aiow in the Pension Depart­ ment at Manchester. He was the youngest man sworn into the United Stales service as a soldier. During the war, when he was between ten and eleven years of age, be went with a friend to the army, then at Port Hudson, where ho remained a few months and returned home. Ho made an effort to go out when the war first com­ menced, when he was a little past nine veare of age. but his father refused to give his jiermission. In 1864, when not yet twelve years of age, he returned to the army at Port Hudson and reported himself ready to be mustered in, but that ceremony was postponed Until the middle of June, at which time he was made a full-fledged soldier. He was then not twelve years of age, weighed sixty-threo pounds, and was four feet, eight inches high. He participated iu the battles of Spanish Fort. Foils Huger and Tracy, and was at the bombardment of Mo­ bile. The mustering officer was Lieutenant G.W. Richardson, of the Twenty-fourth In­ diana. From June 2, 1884, until August, 18125, this mere child did duty as a soldier and was a special favorite of every man iu the company and of a large majority of tho men in the Sixth Michigan. The Lieuten­ ant Colonel of the Sixth Michigan was Charles Clark, a brother of “Grace Green­ wood." Th? Captain of Mott's company was A. F. Craig, who served us Sergenut in the late General Canby’s company when Canby was Captain in the Mexican war. After the war hu acquired nn education. From 1869 until 1872 he was employed us s civil engineer on the Michigan Centra! Railway. A pani? resulted in putting a stop, to a great extent, to railroad building, when Colonel Mott adopted a new profes­ sion. that of commercial traveler.

Beginning promptly nt yn the morning of tho 26th (ac­ cording io previous appointment!, the House ot Representatives, through the committee previously chosen for the pur­ pose, called tho case of Mr. Dakin, and proceeded to examine witnesses, as in open court, to prove the four charges that hadl>een made agaiust oue of their own number, which were in substance: . 1. That the accused. Milo H. DoUn, a Representative from the First Dis * Saginaw County, did, on tbe 19th __ _ April, and at other times, receive money from John H. Khackelton, Mayor of Sag­ inaw, to. be corruptly used among the members of the House in influencing votes for a bill to amend the charter of the city of Saginaw; 2«. That the said Dakin did, on the 19th day of April, and at other times, solicit und endeavor to procure money from cer­ tain persons (who were named), ostensibly to be used in corrupting members, but act­ ually to be used for his own use aud bene­ fit; 3. That said Dakin did, on tho day named, place opposite the names of fifteen members of said House of Representatives sums varying from S5 to $25, which he said would be necessary to be used in or­ der to secure the votes of tbe members so named for the bill in question, “thereby bringing tho good name and character of said members into ill-repute;" 4. That said Dakin did, on the day named and on other occasions, solicit money from at least two persons, to be used among the members of tbe House of Representatives in influencing their votes in favor of the bill named. The committee for the prosecution con­ sisted of Representatives A. R. Chapman, J. V. B. Goodrich. H. W. Thompson. A. B. Pierce, and B. A. Snow, and they were ably assisted by Representativcs.Diekcma and Herrington, who were called to aid in7 the conduct of the case bv n vote of the House; while Dakin was defended by F. L. Dodge of Lansing? Judge P. T. Van Zile of Charlotte,.and Judge L. C. Holden of Haginaw. Frederic L. Eaton, t&e gentleman who mrule the charges against Dakin, was the first witness called by tbe prosecution, nnd his examination aud cross-examinntion oc­ cupied nearly the whole day, aud ho was recalled for quite a time on the third day; yet be told a plain, straightforward story that the attorneys for Dakin were not able to break or disprove, although they made desperate attempts to do so, and fought the cose for all there was in it until the close of tho third day, when both sides rested their case, after having taken testimony enough to make a book of probably 500 or GOi) pages, while lhe speeches of counsel in summing up the case will also cover a large number of pages more. Dakin occu­ pied the witness stand for nn hour or two on lhe last day, but his testimony and ap­ parent indifference to the gravity of the situation had tbe effect to weaken rather than strengthen bis case. Tho House decided to hold on evening session on the third and last day, and then the summing up began, Representative Snow opening for the prosecution. Mr. Dodge followed for the accu«ed, and then came Holden for the same side, Represen­ tative Goodrich for the prosecution. Judge Van Zile for the defense, and then Rep­ resentative Diekema, the best and ablest orator in the House, closed the cose for the prosecution. Tha committee announced that articles one and four would be waived os not proven, and theu a vote was ordered on tbe second count (soliciting mouey, and intending to use it for his own use), and the vote stood yeas 83, nays 11. Thu third charge (making out tbe list with dollars after tho names of members', was then BWttainod, every one cf tho 94 members present voting yea. Representative Crocker then offered a resolution of expulsion, which Represen­ tative Ggg sought to amend so as to pro­ vide for a severe censure. The amendment was voted down, yeas ‘-k nays 92; and then, amid breathless silence, the resolutionAo expel tlie member who had made suclra foolish exhibition of himself and done so much to bring the good name of bis fellow­ members wus earned by a unanimous vote of 94 yeas. The Speaker then, iu a voice chokjng with suppressed sorrow, said: “Two-thirds of the members elect having voted therefor, tbe resolution is adopted, aud the said Milo H. Dakin, member ot the House of Representatives from the Firet Representative District of Saginaw County, is, from and after this date, ex­ pelled from lhe floor of this House, and debarred from any aud all the rights, priv­ ileges, and advantages of a member of said House during the remainder of his official The investigation into the alleged mis­ conduct of the recent Superintendent and one or two of the teachers of the Stale Public School st Coldwater, that came so near being ordered a couple of weeks ago by the Legislature, is likely to be ordered now. as the subject was revised on the 29th by a report made to the two houses by lhe committees on that institution, in which they gave the result of a visit recently mode to th< school by a sub-committee ap­ pointed by the two committees, who went at the request of the Board of Managers of tbe institution. The report was favor­ able to the school and ita managers, and assumed tbst no investigation wos needed, and that if oue were ordered it would hurt rather than help the school, and would cripple the managers in their efforts to purge the institution of al! who would injure it in ita future work. Sena­ tors Hubbell and J. W. Babcock made vigorous speeches against the report as being m the nature of a “bald attempt at whitewashing,” as the former pat it. and against the visit of lhe sub-committee, as being unauthorised by the Legislature and in bad taste, as it was in response to an in­ vitation from the very persons who would naturally be less anxious for an investiga­ tion than any others. The report and visit were both vigorously defended by Senator Westgate (who was of the sub-committee), and then the feeling on the matter seemed so bitter that the committee thought best to withdraw the report in the Senate; bnt after a heated discussion the House adopt­ ed a concurrent reaolut on for a rigid and full investigation. Tho resolution wav not received by the Senate before adjournment Friday evening, but it now looks ns though tbe Senate will concur in ordering the special investigation. PENDING UQLOB LEOISLATION.

In 1854 he sought employment in a Boston shoe Chicago, to enter a similar business situa­ tion. In both of these cities his earnest impulsiveness to do good became a marked feature of his daily life. The excellent ministrations of tbe churches which he at­ tended confirmed him in his conviction of his life mission, and he resolved to relieJoish all business of a personal nature and evote himself to the work of evangelizing. He took an active interest m the Young Men’s Christian Association of Chicago, and established the North Market Mission Sunday-school, since become famous for ita succen in the conversion of men to religion. In the summer of 1861, says a biographer, he devoted most of his labor to the volunteers of the war of the rebellion who were staiioned in Chicago, and in Novem­ ber of that year, when the United States Christian Commission was o-tublished, proceeded under its auspices to tbe camps and battle fields of tbe South, where ne worked, alleviating the Bufferings snd sup­ plying the spiritual necessities of both fri-nd and foe. In August, 1862, be was married to Miss Emma C. Revell, of Chicsec, by reason of whose sympathy of temper and religious ardor the union baa resulted in great good, not to them alone but to tho world. Mr. Moody has been bles-ed with two children —a son and a daughter. The duties of the Christian Commission did not prevent him from attending to bls Chicago school. A chapel—Farwell Hall —was built to supply ita growing needs, and roon out of the organization arose an independent church, of which Mr. Moody became the pastor. In 18t’>5 be was elected President of tbe Young Men’s Christian Association, and was incessant and inde« ui gable in his labors to further Ita work. ithin two years thereafter, chiefly through s influence, a building, admirably adaptd to ita purposes, was erected at a cost of ♦200,000. , In October, 1871, the terrible fire, which devastated Chicago,, destroyed Mr. Moody's home, Farwell Hall, and his church; but within a month thereafter the latter was replaced by a wooden structure, called the North Side Tabernacle, and capable of holding 1,500 peroons.

She asked the eccentric par­ son if be in any way could help her husband. Tbe parson said he wonld resort to prayer after supper when her husband returned home. Just before supper was announced, however, the busband came staggering in the cabin door. He was jolly. He was drunk. The good wile greeted him with tho information: "Parson Dow is up stairs in the loft,” which was the best accom­ modation that could be given him. “Isei-s he?" drawled out the tipsy husband. “Wo-l-l-1, br-br-ing him d-d-down.” This order was obeyed, and present­ ly the parson came down. “C-can you r-raise th-th-the d-devil, Pr-pr-parson Dow?

In tbe course of my whole experience with the effects of baUles, two thing* were deeply impressed upon me: First, that some men were killed by on injury tbat seemed trivial; second, that others sur­ vived the most desperate wounds. I will begin by some illustrations of thia. As my regiment approached our line* at Port Hudson, several shells from the ene­ my’s works produced some . confusion. When it wm over one of the men v its re­ ported wonntjed by the “accidental** dis­ charge of his owu musket The ball had paSM*d through hii great toe. The time and place of ibis injury at once suggested tbe belief tbat here was a cowanl who had intentionally maimed himself. The sur­ geons took him aside on the grass, took off his shoe and stocking, and, after examining the wound, told him that his toe must be amputated. The mon was very pale nnd faint, and preparations were made to chlo­ roform him. He gave one gasp, aud— died! I’erhnps the wound was not the direct cause of his death. It may be that fright kilied him. Many such cases have been reported. ^Lieutenant Colonel George Lewis, of the Twelfth Connecticut, was wounded in oue of the nssaulta of Port Hudson in June, 1863. A grape-shot went through his breast. He was laid aside to die, but, continuing to breathe after some days, he was sent down to New Orleans with other wounded. There, at ono of tbe large hos­ pitals, his death was regarded as merely a question of time, too. But ho lingered on. in tbe most unaccountable manner. It was finally thought that ho might live to get home; at any rate it was worth trying. The sea voyage improved him; he grew better nt home; got up and walked about; returned to duty, aud in October, 1864.wns on horseback commanding his regiment at tbo battle of Cedar Creek; and when I las* heard of him, some ten years ago. be was alive in Connecticut— if not us well as The wound thnt took nw from Port Hudsou to the SL James Hospital at New Or­ leans was received J tine 14. Three days earlier Corporal Clinton Medbury, of my company, while out with a working party, was struck by n rifle-ball which parsed through both his shoulders. His wound was reported mortal, and he was sent down the river. Tbe same day that I reached the hospi­ tal, Medbury walked in to my ward to see me. One arm was in a sling and he lookeu pale; bnt be said he fell pretty well, and had no difficulty in walking about I asked one of tho surgeons about him, the next day; ho said the wound lacked serious; but tbe man felt so well that he hod good hopes of him. For three or four days longer .Medbury continued to improve to all appear­ ances; walked abont, talked, laughed, and had uot the least idea of dying. Then, in one hour, his strength failed; h? took to his bed, grew delirious, nnd died in a day. A post mortem examination showed that one of his Inngs had been pierced by the bullet. Death was inevitable from’ the first. Upon the next cot to mine at the St. James lay Captain Carter, of tbo Fourth Wisconsin. While oat in front of the en­ emy's works with his company, in the as­ sault of May 27th, trying to get past the brush, felled trees, and other obstructions thnt bnd been placed before the fortifica­ tions, a musket-ball struck him below the hip, and, taking a spiral course round tbe leg, came ou^ near the ankle, making six different wounds. He wan jierfectly help­ less, and the surgeons had not discovered, up to the time I left, whether any bone was injured. The fate of tbe victim of this ex­ traordinary wound I never learned. Tbe former Colonel of the same regi­ ment, General Hulbert E. Paine, had an experience before Port Hudson such as very few men could survive. He charged at the head of his brigade on the 14th. and when the charge was repnteed. be lav un­ der tho hostile works with hundreds of others, sorely wounded and unable to move. This happened before sunrise; and all that blistering day he Uy there, suffering tor­ ments that cannot be conceived, while dozens died around him. Several of his men were killed or wounded while trying to crawl up to where he lay with a canteen of water. When at last brought off under the friendly cover of darkness, after fifteen hours of that unutterable agony, it wax found that he must suffer amputation of the leg. Aud the man lived through it all —hM represented the Milwaukee district in Congress, and I believe is alive to-day. Parsing through tbe great hospital at Winchester, Va., in December, 1864, I con­ versed with one of the “convalescent-.” He won a cavalryman; hail been surprised with one or two others by Mosby’s men, dur­ ing the previous campaign, shot, and left for dead—shot, he said, after he had sur­ rendered. And what, would the reader be­ lieve, was the wound, inflicted by a car­ bine-ball, weighing more than one ounce, with which , this poor fallow was at last “convalescent?" The ball had entered the rough experience of one of our corporals at Port Hudson. A bnckshut took out every oue of Lis front npner t-eth as cleanIv as a dentist's saw could have removed them, and without leaving another mark on him. "Bather a rude operation." ho said afterward; "bnt I’ll never h ive to pay for that deuliatrv." On the battle-field bullets nnd shells are no respeetr rs of pcraoaii; nil who get up to "the front" are exposed to the same dan­ gers. Previous to June 14. Colonel Elisha B. Smith, of the One Hundred and Four­ teenth New York, had been Hicljin hospital ai’JCew Orleans. He came up tho river just in time to b^nd a brigade in the as­ sault of that dav. He was near the enemy'* works. a<jd bad turned round to give an ordsr. A ball severed •his spine, passing out over the hip. He Upgored four days with his lower extremities paralyzed, and then was mercifully |>ermitted to die. At Bhdand, while we were supporting n battery, a man was brought Kick, sup­ ported by two other*, and stopped by my company Ion? enough to got * drink from somebody's canteen. I asked where ho was wounded; they raised his arm, and exhibited a ghastly shell-wonud, torn through bis body. He lived an hour, and the only wonder to me was that ho could live a minute. At tbe battle of Winchester Captain W. H. Longwall, of my regiment. Was severely wounded in tbe hip 1>v a bullet. He wore a steel scabbard for his sword, nnd before touching him the ballet passed through th s scabbard, -cutting it through in one half its width. I heard of a soldier at Port Hudson who observed a cannon-ball from the enemy's batteries rolling along the ground, with its force apparently sji-nt. It camo his w»y,a and he was so foolish os to reach ont bis foot nnd try to stop it. Tbe result satisfied his curiosity and taught him something al>ont the law of projectiles that he did not know before, ifis foot was smashed and had to be amputated. General T. W. Sherman—not Tecumseh —who lost a leg before Port Hudson, was an old army num and an original character. I did not mean to admit anything jovial iuto this sketch, but? after all these honors, the anecdote, which is perfectly true, may re­ lieve the somber picture a little. Before the first assault, he wanted to lo­ cate the exact position of one of the enemy's batteries, and the following was the col­ loquy that passed between him and bin General—Lieutenant, you ride out there thirty yards or so in front. I wont to find out where t’jnt gun is. Lieutenant -Do you mean, sir, for me to keep on till I can see it? e General—Certainly not; they'd capture you. ’ Lieutenant—But how shall I discover where the gun is? General—After you get out there i> piece, they’ll fire nt you. But they won't hit you; nnd I shall see where they are. Tho Lieutenant went, for he knew thnt his chief uus perfectly serious about it, aud everything turned out just as tho General had predicted. But the aid said after­ ward, intelliug the incident, that it smacked almost too much of "Regular army, O!" to suit him. Cases of extreme mutilation by wounds were not rare, although not largely noticed. The fact that the lata General Paul lost both eyes at-Gettysburg is familiar; the fact that no small nuinla-r of enlisted men suffered in the same way during the war is not so w*j11 known. At Albany, just after the close of the war. I nut a soldier with both arms off, who had a comrade constantly attending him. I wns at once reminded that in one of our Western Louisiana battles an artil­ lerist on our side suffered the same irrep­ arable loss. Cases wbeie the sufferers recovered after tho dreadful operation of removing tbe arm at the ahoulder-joint were few. but they were known. I found a Lieutenant in com­ mand of Fort Saratoga, in the defenses of Washington, iu the spring of 1863. la that condition. Two soldiers, at least, within my own knowledge came out of tho war w'itbout legs. I know men who ore wearing silver plate* where their Hkull-bones were torn off; I know o'hers, apparently in good health, whose ch'KtH are onlj- held together by steel corsets. The extent of an injury from powder and !ron,wh ch a man may not sur­ vive has neve.- yet been discovered. Sometimes the wound, or the way it was received, was positively grotesque to those who observed it—not often to Lim who re­ ceived it. Abram Chappell, of my company, in tho rille-pit one night before Port Hudson, had just projected his musket through the small aperture cut in the top log for that purpose. Before he could fire, a bullet entered the hole, passed down the barrel of his gun. cutting off both bands, aud then through the palm of his hand. It was hardly a chance shot; sltarpshootnig-wns reduced to a science iu tbat situation. And sometimes death was terrible, be­ cause entirely unexpected. A few days before the surrender of Port Hudson. William Lipples and Morsi Stur­ ges, of our Company J, were in a ravine, off duty—a place which anyone would have said was as safe as a bomb-proof. A solid ■hoi dropped in upon them, taking off both legs of Lipples, and breaking a thigh of Sturges. 1 bo former died in two hours, the latter1* lingered after amputation, and ex­ pired in a few days. ■ General Sherman was right. “War ia cruelty, and you cannot refine it."—J.

Hill’s account of tbe battle of Chickamauga ~e take this conclusion: "But whatever blunders each of us in authority committed before the battles of the Ittti and 2>>th (Chickamauga), and during their progress, the great blun­ der of all was that of not pursuing the enemy on the 21st. Tbe dav was spent in burying the dead and gathering up captured stores. Forrest, with bis usual promptness, was early in the saddle, and saw that the retreat was a rout. Disorganized masses of men wore hurrying to the rear; batteries of artillery were inextricably mixed with trains of wagons; disorder and confusion pervaded the broken ranks struggling to get on. Forro-t sent .back word to Bragg that •every hoar was worth a thousand men.'

The Colors of Canaries. With regard to the yellow color of the canary bird and ita testimony Mr. Darwin's theory it is said that, _. ter domestication in Belgium, Ger­ many, and England (a point with which temperature or climate may have had something to do), the birds throw up on the feathers small patches of yellow of lighter color, and by carefully mating those birds that had the largest number of these patches the breeders at length, and after a consid­ erable period, succeeded in obtaining bright and uniform color, more closely resembling what are c-alled the "clear’* birds of to-day. But the application of the phrase, “canary color,” to indi­ cate a special shade of yellow, though general, is not justified by the facta. Canaries of pure breed are to be found of many colors. Whole breeds are green; and, by feeding on pepper and other seeds, canaries have been pro­ duced of cinnamon and coffee color, nnd even of red; and, in the lizard va­ riety, the bird, though yellow in the crown, is elsewhere shaded and span­ gled in the most ftvely manner. —AU the Year Round.

DEAD TO THE WORLD. Iu 1867 John Flynn, aged 35 years, suddenly disappeared from Marquette, and after n few years he was forgot ten, it Ix-ing accepted a* a fact that be had left the country. Niue years ago Law­ rente Donahue, Flynn’s nephew, like­ wise dropped out of public bight, nnd the incident recalled Flynn’s sudden taking oft. No tidings were learued of either, however, until May 10th. For several days neighbors had reported strange none* as coming from a hovel occupied by Mrs. Donahue—sister of Mrs. Flynn, and mother of youug Don­ ahue—and the marshall called nt the place to investigate. He was refused udmirrance, but farced his way in, and there in a filthy, cell-like room found John Flynn, bent with age. hi* hair hanging in masses over hi* shoulders, hl* l»ea»d long and unkept, his l»ody covered with dirt and his face pale from long confinement. Tbo man fought desperately, bnt was taken to the coun­ ty house. He is aaue and talks intelli­ gently. When stripped the dirt rolled from his clothing and body. He was terribly emaciated, his leg* shrunken to pipestems in size ; hi* feet bloated, nnd nis whole form remindingall pres­ ent of the stories told of the men taken from Andersonville prisou. It is be­ lieved that the case is without parallel. The house is located right iu the city, and the old lady has been working out at odd jobs for 20 years, bat i-ever di­ vulged tbe grim secret* of her home to a so Ill. Popular indignation lias been aroused against the old woman. She informed a reporter that Lawrence Donahue, her non, was in an upper room, that he was not sick,and he weighed 900pounds; that she put him up in the loft year* ago because his school mates plagued him by throwing stick* at him, that he had never been out since and did not want to go out. That he could go out if be wanted, but he preferred to stay iu the house and read. "Whose busi­ ness is it anyway,” said the old lady. The legal questions touching the guardtuuisliip of tbe son have been settled aud he is now in charge of the author­ ities. Before l«ng the question is to be. nut will England let Canada go, but will the United States let Canada in. &AKIH0 Cash Drives Bargains/ It does its work when we buy.

CHATTER L The wax was an extremely severe rtrrftn on the people ot the South, especially those Situated along tbe southern border of Mason and Dixon's line. It would not have Beamed ho severe if it hud not been for the suffering of the innocent. Men precipitate war. and should be the -ones to Msnmt war's duties and pay all its penalties; bnt alas! they do not Many poor women, with ■mall children, have had to resort to that, sort of food that an animal would disdain to eat, in order to sustain life in that country. Bushwhackers, guerrillas, jayhawkera and every evil that war could generate were en­ tailed upon those that were along the bor­ der and could not break through the ter­ rible line of brush-thieves and escape. In­ dignity upon indignity was heaj»ed upon the unprotected females, until a desperation bom of desiair took possession of thsm and raised them to do acts heroic, or drove them downward to devilish deeds. the gangs of deiq>erodoea that infested that jxirtfon of the country. The numerous caves in the northwest farabhed a safe retreat in cass of pursuit and an impregnable strong­ hold in case of attack. The Ozark Moun­ tains are fa the northwestern part of the State. The “divide," or top of the moun­ tains. la comparatively level—about half of the surface being praine and tho remainder covered with a utunted. inferior growth of timber. The “breaks" are that portion of the country situated between the streams and the divide, and this broken, hilly sec­ tion is of such a nature and aameneM that a large body of men could not traverse it unfess they were to go parallel with the ridges. A stranger in the depths of these hill-foresta. without a guide or compui, would easily become lost and bewildered. Upon the topmost point of this con­ tinuous range of mountains runs the road known now, m it wm known years ago, as the "Wire Hoad." This road wm formerly used by the Butterfield. Express Company, aud a wire wm stretched along its winding counie. over which news wm transmitted, ad important points thus brought into rte communication with the world. An there wm no rail or water connection with thia country, the trafficking w*s done with teams, which carried the produce out, and brought those things wanted by the inhabit­ ants. Slave labor had made many families wealthy, and there were some intelligent, refined people here. There were, also, many people of the poorer class, and not a few of them possessed the t-ssentials for making first-rate villains, capable of doing any desperate deed that crcumstam-es seemed to render desirable. Their oppor­ tunity came with the coming of the war. and my story will show how well they im­ proved it For the better understanding of this his­ toric tale I have written this preliminary explanation. "Mother, John is oome! John is come!" and Lillie Eddies danced on her toes, in a circle, by the open window. Her bands were clasped in ecstasy, and her loose golden hair floated gauzily around her tall, elegant figure “ Why, no, not John, surely, so soon after returning to college!" replied the mother, a stately, gray-haired dame, m she slowly adjusted her cold-bowed spectacR "But it is certainly he", she continued, ‘for Jeff is now going for his luggage. Something is wrong, or John would not have left his studies tow, when he is so near graduating. What can it be?" ‘ Her question wm unanswered, for LiUie had rushed out upon the lawn and in a mo­ ment more was strongly eloped in tbe em­ brace of a big. noble-looking young man of perhaps twenty-one years of age. “How you have grown, sister, in the past year," said John os be looked in admiration upon his lovely sister. “Can it be that you have grown so tall and womanly in so short a time? You were so slight and small then." “But you did not think I would always remain small, did you, brother?" laughingly asked the pretty girL "Yea, dear, I am afraid that it would have been better if you had always re­ mained my little sister." Tbe look of paysty had all passed away, and a serious one had token its place. "What do you mean John? You can't be •erious?" she inquired. "Too serioux, too serious, dear child," ho hurriedlv answered as he crossed the threshold to meet bia doting mother. The meeting wm affectionate, for they were a noble family, with all the elevating qualities of such people. Mrs. Eddies was a widow, her husband having died a few years previous to the opening of our story. Ho had been a phy­ sician. and had gone Routh from n N orthern State while yet a young man, after trying, unsuccessfully, the battle of life in his Dative State.

She is the prettiest girl I ever saw in Chicago.” Several days later, while standing in the store, the same young fellow came up to me and as we wore chatting together Mrs. Williamson, handsomely dressed and her big blue eyes shaded bv the brim of a be­ coming Gainsborough hat, entered the door and passed up to President Spalding's office to moke some inquiry as to the time ferrod to seized me by the arm and, with parted lipa and distended eyes, gazed up the stair-case. “That is the girl I saw with Williamson," he whispered. “Do you know her?” “Yee? said I quietly. "That is Mrs. Ned Williamson.” I never saw a man’s face change color more quickly or assume a deeper shade of chagrin as he heard my reply. “I should have known as much after all I fhave read of Mrs. Williamson and Mrs. Williamson's beauty.

IWoshlnston special.] The report of the Director of the Mint oc the production of the precious metals in tho United States for the calendar year distribution. The Director eatimstes tho production of tbe United States to have been in 188C: Gold, •35,000,000; silver. •51,000,000. Tbe value of the ailver in the above estimate is calculated at the coinage rale ot silver in United States silver dollars—namely, 51.2V2J per ounce fine. Tbe production of ail­ ver was | 30,445,312 fine ounce* of tbe commercial value, at the average urioe ot ailver during tho year tnamely, about SI Ssr fine ounce), of £39,445,31 ‘i. The pro­ action of gold shows an increase over tbo prior year of •3,200,000. The production of silver is slightly less than in 1885. A tabular statement shows that the produc­ tion of silver iu ibo United State* ha* largelv incrensed from 1880, when it was to $51.00(1.000 in 18«fi. Tho year’* production of gold has approximated the maximum of ti c tart seven years, the product cf 1880, which reached ?3fl,000,WO. against •35.000,000 in 188G. Colorado miiMitains first rank a* the largest producer of tbe precious metata in the United States, the value of its produc­ tion of gold end silver having been over ••u.tN-O.i.OO during the last year. Cali­ fornia yields second place to Montana with a production ol nearly 817.000,000, against 810,000,000 by tho former. The produc­ tion of Nevada and New Mexico has de­ creased, while that of the other States ha* remained almost constant. Texas, for tho first time, I* added to the list of producing .Stales, with a production of 8200,000 in ailver. The annual supply of silver from the mines of the world ha* largely in­ creased in the Inst fourteen years, the periwl covered by the marked decline in -the market price of silver, and has doubled ' since 1872; thnt is, from •42,000,000 in thnt yenr to 8124.000,000 in 188G. During the calendar year 1880 the chen.-es in the price of "silver were very marked Opening Jon. 2, 1888, at 48 13-16 pence per ounce, British standard, the fluctuations were slight until April, when commenced a rapid decline, which contin­ ued until July 31, when the price of silver reacted 4‘J pence, remaining at that price until Aug. 10, when an advance took place which continued until Nov. 20, when tho price reached 47 ;>ence. but remained at that point only a short time. The cloning quotation Dec. 31 was 4ttj pence. The av­ erage price for the year wni 45.374 pence, equivalent to 99.465 cent* per ounce fine. The price of silver nt the present time is 435 pence per ounce, British standard, equivalent to 95.0 cents per ounce fine. The value of the gold deposited ot the mints of the United State* during the cal­ endar year 1885 was 879,057.818, of which over 821,(MX»,000 consisted of foreign bullion and orer ?'J,000,000 foreign coin. Tbe dojiosita and purchases of silver amounted* to 839,086,070. The coinage executed at the mints during the calendar year consisted of 03,739,*Ji>6 pieces, of the fscc value of 801,375.438. The uumbor of silver dollars coined was 31,423,880, on which the seigniorage was 87,095,361.34. The Director estimates the stock of coin 'in tho United States Jan. 2, 1887, to have been, in round figur.-s, gold, 8500,000,<100; silver, 8^24,000,000; total, 8884,000,000. In addition to the stock ot coin, the Gov­ ernment owned gold and silver bullion in the mint owniting coinage of the value of gold, 881,400,000; ailver, 87,00o.000; total. 888.4<>0,l!00; a total of metallic stock on Jan. 1, 1887, of gold. 8641,100,000; silver, •331,800,000; total, $973,200,000. Tbe Director presents official figures to show that of the stock of gold cdtn esti­ mated to have been in the United States tho first of the present yenratbere was in the Treasury of tbo United States und in the national aud Staty banks and in circu­ lation on the Pacific slope 8360,000.000, leaving 8200,000,000 in tho hands of tho people and in the banks and savings insti­ tutions of the United States east of the Sierra Nevada* (other than national bank* and the 849 State bank* which reported to the Controller of th" Currency). The stock and own>-rabip of gold and silver coins !h the United States, Jan. 1. 1887, are given ns follows: United States Treasury, 818rt.901.494; national banka, 8166.993,556; State and other bank* and private individuals, 8531,150,804; total, 8885,051,854. Tho total stock of paper and metallic money in the United States— tho paper all either redeemable in coin or secured by bonds redeemable iu coin— amounted. Jan. 1, 1887, to 81,879,919,935. THE CROPS.

Tha Chicago club has improved but little, if any. in it* playing, during tbe past weak,, and all because of its unfortunate weak­ ness in the pitcher's box. When a ball team knows that it ia weak in any one par­ ticular tiuarter it is going to funk. At least that is the caae w ith the majority of ball clubs, and tho Chicago team is no exception to the rule. Save upon tbe days when Clarkson., pitches the boy* take the field with little hope of winning. TALK OF CONSOLIDATION. It is rather significant tfaat at this time when the interest of base-ball lovers Hhonldbe held down to the winning and losing of games in the fight for the pennant that the old qnertian of consolidating the Amer­ ican Association and National League into one groat organization should be given tho prominence it is now enjoying. President Spalding still has the idea of one great League in mi»d. and never loses a chance to give it »-j>usb. He ha* been working hard of late with the various other club presidents to gum supporters for his plans. His idea now is to drop the Metro­ politans and Clevelands from the American Association, and the' Indianapolis and Washington nines from the National I/cague at the end of this season. Then the League and tho Association will Soconsolidated under the title of tho Ameri­ can League. The New Yorks. FJiilndelphins, Athletics, Bdstonst Brooklyn*, add Baltimore* will comprise 'the Eastern sec­ tion, and the Chicago*, Detroit*, St. Louia,. Louisville*, Ciuctnnatiw, and Piitaburgb* will form the Woateru division. The* Western team* can make one trip Eust, and. tbe Eastern dobs can return tbe visit. Each nine could thus play six games with every other club in the Leagne. It may bo stated ns a fact that several League cluba are strongly impcewied w-ith the practica­ bility of this plan, and will give it cardial assistance should there be any chance te carry it into effect. OTHER RVMORS. It is a fact that the Athletic, the Cleve- ' land, tho Chicago >nd the ludianapqlia clubs are all trying to purchase Pitcher Hudson** release from St. Louis, and have < offered big figure* for him. but Yon der Ahe has declined them all. This fact., considering that he hav three such splen­ did pitcher* ns Fontz,. Caruthers nnd. King, strengthens the opinion wbich is be­ coming general in base ball circles berfrthat this ii tbe last sea-on of the Browns' in the Association if they again win tbo championship, and that they are figuring to take- tbe place of Indianapolis in that event next year. It "is also ap;*arent that the new ‘ scheme includes tbe supersed­ ing of Detroit by Cincinnati, the players of tbo Detroit Club to be taken charge of by tbe League when that town is farced to drop oat, the choice players io be distrib' utea around to strengthen the weak clubs, > and the balance to go to tbe bent obtainable market. I, nite a sensation is expected todevclop under this head in a very chort time. ANSON ON THE LOOKOUT. Captain Anson nor President Spslding ha* a* yet succeeded in sscunng an> additional pitcher, but that Anson is by no means idle or indifferent to tbo wants of the club may presumed from the following dispatch from Washington: Captain Anson while here visited Bob­ Ban twice and endeavored to secure theservices of that crack twirler, who ha* been living in quiet retirement since last-­ fall. Barr hesitated on account of hi* re­ cent iilnea*. but Anson insisted, and it i*. Kbable that the Washingtonian will in adays don a White Stocking uniform.

This dark river has, too, its romance, as being the place which gave rise to a melody which, like “ Home, Sweet Home," tho affection of tho heart will nover lot go. For it was here that a French family iu tho time of Louis XIV. came over and settled upon the Suwanee and made a plantation. After awhile tho father and mother and all died save one daughter, who, disheart­ ened and desolate, returned to France, and there wrote, adopting in port that negro dialect which sho had been familiar with on the old plantation in her girlhood, a feeling tribute to “the old folks at homo” in their graves in ths far-off country.—Auguela ((?«.)

The old steamboat wharves are being propped up ready for business and the yawning inhabitants are rubbing their eyes and wondering if the days of rail­ road traffic since the war have only been a horrible nightmare. KingKalakana, having sent hi* queen to England to distract tbe attention of tbe British government from the aoutbKea affairs, is said to be prepar­ ing to annex Samoan an d Ton­ ga islands, which are also coveted by Great Britian.

The question i«, what, under the circumstances, can the gov­ ernment do! Go into the open market and buy bonds al a large premium! Ex-Secretary Manning says that no government can do thia and live. Yet, even if congreaa were to meet in extra session it is doubtful if it could accom­ plish anything in time to meet the emergency. So, there appears nothing at present for it but to drift along in tlie dangerous business path which on one side is menaced by speculative ex­ pansion and on the other by a severe contraction of the circulating mediup, which not only invites but actually cre­ ates disaster. Southern and eastern journals con­ tinue to give expression to the appre­ hension that Asiatic cholera is likely to reach this continent during the fastapproncbinglsummer. Its march across South America, its reported ravages on the Isthmus of Panama, and its alleged invasion of Mexico and Lower Califor­ nia. have caused a nervous dread along the gulf coast, while the Atlantic sea­ ports are vigilantly watching the West Indies, whither tbe disease is stated to have been brought from Buenos Ayer*. There is probably quite ns much to fear from tbe hosts of immigrant* from tlie cholera-infected Meditenaaean coast*. These have already .brought the small­ pox contagion through the New York quarantine and scattered it over a thousand mile* of the interior. If a disease so unmistakable in its manifesjatiousandso easily preventable may be thus readily introduced there is far less hope that cholera germ* in infected clothing, baggage and bedding will be excluded. The only safeguaid for the interior lies iu maintaining the same sanitary vigilance' that ha* secured the exceptional heallhfulness of the past three years. The efforts which state aud local boards of health have put forth on account of the cholera scare have resulted beneflcialfy in a reduced death rate from all diseases. These ef­ forts are now more than ever necessary. MICHIGAN NEWS. Martin Kuhta. was fatally stabbed at a Polish dance in Detroit last Saturday night.

L00AL MARRIAGE BELLS. # *' Part of the program for the doe ob­ servance of Decoration Day among some of our villagers was not earned out at the opera bouse. Such was the happy celebration of the marriage nup­ tials of Richard Sturgis and Miss Mimi Brown, of Castleton, both of whom are well known in our community. The marriage ceremony wan performed by Rev. A. H. Gamble of the M. E. church at the residence of the bride’s parents, at 5 o’clock Monday evening. May 30tli. Everything conducive to the happiness of the occasion had been prearranged, aud there was nothing lacking to mar the hour’s pleasure. The vows were taken under a large floral horseshoe, E. M. Everts and Electa FurniM offici­ ating as groomsman and bridesmaid. About sixty invited guests were pres­ ent. mostly relatives of the bride. Af­ ter the ceremony a sumptuous feast was spread, of the clyjicesc variety and kind, to which the happy guests did ample justice. The presents bestowed were many, being both serviceable and valuable. The happy couple left on the night train for their trip to Chicago. They will return about June 4th, and it is understood will make Nashville their future home. Mr. Sturgis is a young man of promise, and has a bright pros­ pect for the |pture. That he has chos­ en a helpmeet indeed, who will prove herself worthy of his love, is conceeded by all. Many are the congratulations extended by friends, and may long life and happiness crown their blissful union. _______________ SPLINTERS. LeEfy Jnne. June 17th—school is out.

(CHICAGO COBRF.SPONDEXCX.] Two weeks ago Detroit bod (ho call as a permanent a inning club «o completely tual many predicted n clear walk-awny for the Wolverines, And a conseqnendy flat and uninteresting izee for tbo League- pennant. This opinion entertained by De­ troiters not only, but. by admir­ ers of tho game everywhere, and per­ haps BLt-h an opinion ,wos warranted to a consiilerabk extent. Detroit has played a magnificent game from the outset, and if beaty batting will win, which is not improbable under the new rules, the belief th.it the Wolverine* will fly the flag over their own beautifully located park next sentqn may not be far out of the «ay. Bnt the season is still young. There is a dnrk-hoisc dement in' the - rank* which renders almost ahy condition of things possible, before tho League clubs shall have made their last spurt in the race. Boston, New York and Philadelphia are following Detroit's lead determinedly, and n little streak of bad lack upon the part of the Wolverin-s would lw apt to give Mike Kelly's men a lead that would change the complexion of things materially. Re­ ports of the two Decoration Day games show two splendidly contested gaoieu at Boston between these two leaders, and De­ troit won one by a score of 2 to 1, while Boston raptured the other by 4 to 3. The character of the game* indicates tho strength of the Boston Club to be dan­ gerously nepr that of Detroit, notwith­ standing thc'groat hit-fag power of the lat­ ter organization. Pitfaburg aud Chicago are neither of them out of the race as yet, while the Indianai'olis dub, with Jack Glasscock at its head and Denny as its lieutenant, may prove a stumbling block in the way of some ambitious would-bo pen­ nant winner that will ruin its chances iu the end. Daring the past week Detroit fell back g trifle in its lead, having dropped a game to Washington ami one to New York, but it still has on advance of three games won and four less lost than Boston, its nearest competitor. New York mauaged to win a couple ot games, bnt nearly offset its gain by dropping n game to both Detroit aud Pittsburgh, while the only stomp tho Phillies hare run against has been Anson's men. With its winnings during the past seven days, Chicago has crowded ahead, nntil now it stands tied with the Smoky City lads for fifth place, both of these dabs being but three games each behind 1'hilnddphia. The following table will .how the work of the League clubs up to Monday. May 30: The Industrial Bituatlor.—Points Interest la the Labor ‘ of Horizon.

The summer dross-goods are more than usually handsome and varied this year, and it of course follows that the modes are also of the greatest beauty and diversity. Pei baps tlie most popular among tho fabncH ear ’during the warm months are the finer grades of woolen ma­ terial*. such ns enuddah cloths, those |>opular favorites, the colored armures, camel'* hairs, etc. The ever-present cashmere will figure extensively in street aud house toilets, and t: o finer grade cheviots will be consider­ ably in use, especially for misses' dresses. School cottames in checked cheviots are very much liked. For seaside toilets, lawn tennis, and yachting costumes, plain and striped sum­ mer serges will bo used extensively, but lighter aud perha[»> more grateful dresse* are already shown in etamineo, tussores, India silks, foulards, and French satine*. Efamines are shown iu tho moat pleasing tiute, and will be worn by many young ladies a* prominent features lu their coun­ try wardrobes.

In connection with this it may l>e mentioned that many ladies, after securing a graceful overdrea* of black chantilly, wear beneath it. on separate occasion*, various of their plainer dresses, of suitable colors, and so practically enlarge their . wardrobes con­ siderably,* m the combination ot a plainly made suit with tho overdress of lace pro­ duces, to-till appearance, anew toilet.

These are the first imuressions—tho crude ideas—one gets from looking oveF an assortment of fash­ ionable millinery at present Some of the shapes nro unique. For example, one extremely pretty hat, whose croan was moderately high, bod a brim which commenced in front, flat. On each side it curled gradually higher till a point wa* reached half-way back; hero it took a sudden twist forward and upward, then another beud, still higher, until finally itLegame nearly level with the crown. This' brim was smoothly faced with dark helio­ trope velvet, slashed on the edge so that the strew—a light lavender—became visi­ ble. The crown was covered with lace, netted acrons with iridescent beads, and th* garniture consisted of a small bluebrensted humming-bird perched on one side, beneath him np;»enriug n large knot of mingled “English* pink and heliotrope ribbon. A plain but very pleasing dross, for wear upon the street, is iu dark-blue camor*boir eloth. wnh trimmings only of braid and buttons. This dress has a kilted skirt, the plaits being carried back on each side until they appear to merge in, rather than puu l>eueath. tho black drapery, which is, by the way, much the more graceful fash­ ion. Ah near sh it can be described upon paper it is accomplished thu*: The under­ most fold of tho drapery is made very tint aud very long, only about five inches of it being allowed to show beyond the overlaying folds.

William Clifton, his faithful attorney, received on Wednesday night—or rather Thursday from Gov­ ernor Gordon him of Leggett's respite for thirty days.-----------hese he-----------started with for Tatujll County on Thursda afternoon. throughout the county that tho execution would take place in the forenoon of the next day. The sun was not two hours high when people began arriving in the town, xn foot, others on horseback, and many in the cracker carts. The scaffold had been erected in a field a quarter of a mile from the village. Thither the crowd moved, and steadily grow in numbers. ' “ givA at 7 o'clock, Lcggclt ---------breakfast --------------------------------d ohortly afterward a minister of tho gospel wm admitted to hi* cell. Tho con­ demned man talked of the murder of his wife, said that be was sorry far it, and ex­ pressed a hope for forgiveness. He hnd not received any iutimatiun that a reprieve would be - granted in his case, and ho went about preparing to pay the penalty of his crime. At 10:30 he was handcuffed, and, surrounded by Deputy Sheriffs, was driven to the scaffold. Fully l,5Uti people had collected there, and an immense crowd fol­ lowed Leggett and his guards from tbo town. Dozens of men and boys bad climbed up into the trees to get a better view. Hundreds morn swarmed over tho carte, staud ng up on the wheels, seats, anywhere aud everywhere that a foothold offered. THF. BLACK CAP. The jesting lulled as the prisoner as­ cended the scaffold, but still a low buzz of excited comment arose from the throng. After a few miuutex of prayer and a short confession * from the murderer the sheriff slipped the noose over Leggett's head, carefully tightened the rope around hi* neck, and adjusted the knot. Then the black cap was put on and pulled down over the prisoner’s face. He had walked up on the gallows with a firm step, and showed little sign of nervousness in his voice as he sang an<l prayed. Ho did not falter when placed on the fatal trap, and held hir hands quietly behind his back to have them tied together. His ankles were next bound tightly with a stout rope. Mr. Cliflon'was In his bed in Savannah when he received a telegram from Governor Gordon granting a respite. When the at­ torney left the train at Johnston’s station, on tho Savannah, Florida and Western Railway, ho hod forty-five miles to drivn through a country not noted for its good roads. Tbo breaking of a trace or an axle or anything happening to either of the hones, or any one of a hundred accidents, was liable to delay him and prevent his reaching RiedsvUle before tho trap was sprung. While Leggett was watching through bis coll window tho first gleams of dawn his faithful lawyer was urging a swift pair of hones across the country at a gait that covered them with foam. The hours sped by with equal rapidity to the prison­ er and to tho mon who was hastening to save his life. IN TIMX. The Sheriff hnd just turned to step down off the scaffold, preparatory to catting the rope which held the trap in the floor, when Mr. Clifton pushed his way into tho crowd aud shouted: “Mr. Sheriff, I have hero a message from Gov. Gordon, directed to you." "Come this way t»ud let me sec it imme­ diately," an*weied back the Sheriff. For a moment not a whisper was uttered. Every one held LL* bieath. The crowd clivftled aud made way for the lawyer to pass to the foot of the gallows. The Sheriff glanced hastily at tho telegram, and drop­ ped the hatchet which he held in bis hand. “Go up on the scaffold, Clifton, and read to us!" cried a thousand voices. Tatnall is the attorney's native county. Everybody down there knows him, and there was not a man in the crowd who did not recognize his tall, broad form as he elbowed his wav to the Sheriff. Many a time in his life hnd the lawyer heard the cry, “Tflke tho alage,” but never before under such circumstances. MB. CLIFTON EXPLAINS. Taking ox-Senator Mattox by the arm, Mr. Clifton stepped briskly upon the plat­ form, and without waiting for Leggett to be unbound read the dispatch from Gov­ ernor Gordon granting a respite for thirty days. “Tnis is authentic," the speaker added, and he read another telegram ad­ dressed to himself, to the effect that a re­ prieve bad been granted. He then read a third dispatch, inquiring if the first and second had been received. The telegrams had a magical effect upon the crowd. They yelled and shouted for Gordon and Clifton and pressed up cIomj to the scaffold to con­ gratulate him. Leggett stood at first as though paralyz­ ed, being unable to b?lieve what his ears heard. Then when it dawned upon him that he was not to die. he made frantic efforts to be released. The cap and noose were quickly removed, and he fell down on his knees and poured out thanks (o^Iod and bis attorney. His bonds were cut and he was led away, declaring that he loved hi* lawyer mere than any one in tho world. The acene was one not witnessed twice in a lifetime, except in the last act of some dramas on the mimic strage where a courier rushes on breathless from the wings and hands the heavy men in the play a pardon for the hero. The crowd was disappointed, but it seemed perfectly well satisfied that the affair bad taken the turn it did. Mr. Clifton was a sort of hero, and in leas than au hour petitions wire be­ ing signed asking tbo Governor to com­ mute Leggett's sentence to imprixonment (or life. Labor and Industrial Notes.

Few of us, indeed, can lay claim to ex­ emption from this habit; yet many ot us mar have good reasons for finding fault with ourselves, others, and lhe world in general. I am no exception to the rule. Off all sides I notice “tbe eternal unfit­ ness of things," and long to stfc them righted. What I grumble about most, in my case, is the absence 'ot ~ wealth. Now, it was no fault of 'mine that Y camo into this world minus tbe golden spoon which plnys sa im­ portant a part in one's otter life. 1 enre nothing for the spoon, but haves a pro­ tracted weakness. Known as longing, for tho golden side of the question. A neighbor of mine, however, is wealthy, and I am obliged to enuoble at the roll of his carriage wheels—they disturb my study. Were the carriage mine, no doubt the dis­ turbance would pass unnoticed. Carriages ore a nuisance,' any way—to those who do not possess them. Ttie same may be said I also find fault with this neighbor's handsome book-cuse. It is in the wrong bouse. If I hajl it the old dry-goods box might be dispensed with. His costly writ­ ing desk might also be transferred to my domicile with advantage to me. I have read, however, of greet authors using the covers of old books to write upon while composing. I u»u one nlso. A certain friend of mine is a great grum­ bler. He is a carpenter by trade. The other day ho came to me grumbling about the shingles on his roof. He said they were all curling up. Before laying them he growled about tho darkness of the evenings, saying be wished it were moon­ light, as Lis time was too much occupied during the day to tho job. In the mean­ time be remained m his rented nouso. Moonlight came and he shingled. Now he finds fault with the job. It is difficult to please aome folks. It is also hard to believe that tbo queen of night in all her majesty would lend her influ­ ence to so mean an action ns to curl the shingles on that man's roof. I do not be­ lieve it. A book agent called on me lately and struggled hard to make a sale. I feel sorry for those Buffering venders of intellectual food, and always frown down any move made toward 'their ex­ tinction. Nor do I hurl them from my presence with lansuage strong. Those colling around in this section are mostly Kwerful fellows who demand my respect. «y get iL Still I find fault with them, because they always happen around when funds are low. They might drop in at almost nny timn aud find tbe regitter oc my wealth at tho snmt) old spot—zero. I can find no fault with the register, only when my salary ia paid. It instate upon remaining at that ’'identical spot, well aware that mr accesrioir to wealth is but momentary. The register is faultless. Some authors find fault with editors for rejecting long articles; others, in the re­ jection of abort ones. Editors, of course, are nlso great fault­ finders. This fact may have much to do with tbe rejections above mentioned. Fault-finding becomes a chronic malady if allowed to run loose.

Ho presented a written opin oh of some length, taking tbe ground that as section 1 of tha bill then read it would bo declared umoiiatitutional if passed, and so, ou his tool ion, the section was amended by cutting ont of tbe s-ction the words. “Tbe tax, either on the business of sell.ng at retail or wholesale, or on the business of manufacturing, shall be a lien on the stock aud fixtures of any saloon, bar-room, brewery or distillery, and the same shall Im subject to seizure and Hale at any time after such tax shall have been due and un­ paid for a period of ten days." The bill was also amended by changing l the time for which a druggist shall be Uarred j from selling liquor in tbe St^c <for a viola^ionlif the law) from five years, as tha drill \bnd it, to one year, and in other small jiarticulnrs, while Senator Shnrj> voughl to so amend it that parties desiring to begin business may pay for us short a time a* one-quarter of tjie total yearly (ax instead ot one-balf a year, as provided iu the present law, and a* proposed Lv the Lili under discussion.

It is strange how few people know what thoir normal pulse is, said a phy­ sician to a St. Louis Globe reporter. They know that tho average pulse is about 70, and imagine that they arc well or otherwise as their pulse ap-_ proaches or departs from this standard. It is true that a%average of all pulses would give a result of about 70 beats, but in nootber physical peculiarity is there such wide in'dhidval variation. I hod two students in my office at the same time, both very strong and re­ markably healthy young men. Tho normal pulse of one- Was 47 and the other This difference is unusual, few pulses falling below 00 or rising above 8<> in a healthy subject, bnt on unusually slow or rapid pulse is no in­ dication whatever of disease, os is pop­ uiarly supposed to be the case. Most tbeir pnl„. u they often count ita beats when talking about the matter, and it is a fact well known tp physicians that the excitemerit of conversotion will quicken the pulse from 5 to 20 beats. The best time to arrive at the true normal is shortly after waking in the morning, when'lhe nerves are unexcited.

I have called attention to roads to show that under the law, we have su­ perficial work. This should give place to something solid and nermanent. I have called attention to (bridges, to show either that boards of iffipervisors should act upon and carry out the theo­ ry of the law as it stands, or that the law should be changed to make its pro­ visions mandatory upon them. I Have called attention to the statutory provis­ ion to secure to every municipality a valuable public library, believing that, through inattention and public lethargy, this important provision for tho public good, especially for the young, a mere pittance us a tax, is often lost to the public through simple neglect to vote it at the annual township meet­ ing. The matter of roadside tree$ is in mach tbe same condition—what is ev­ erybody’s business is nobody’s. Our statute law recognizes the practical, utility of beaqty,-the value of therefreshing shade. kThe law pays a premi­ um to the intelligent man who heeds ita provisions, and this for serving his own interests. Sections 1,408 to 1.410 inclusive give the statute law on the subject—“distance of trees, sixty feet apart and shade trees shall be planted along both sides of tbe public highway. Trees sixty feet and more apart shall remain. Any person planting shade trees along roadsides shall be allowed twenty-five cents per tree, not-to ex­ ceed one-fourth part of his road tax." If owners will not attend to thia, it is the duty of tbe overseer of highways to collect the twenty-five cent of tbe road tax in money and attend to it himself. The law further provides that at least fifty trees per year.ehall be planted in each district where rees are now lack­ ing and it is tbe duty of the commis­ sioner or overseer under bis direction to see that this is done. Every man recognizes, when called to his atten­ tion, the importance of these provis­ ions; yet, show me a commissioner or overseer of highways who pays any at­ tention to it, and 1 will make a not© of it on the twenty-ninth day of February. The lack of attention to some of these very important phases ot village and rural improvement reminds me of the attitude of the man down in Maine to­ ward Christ. He was approached by a col porter with the query whether he loved the Lord. His answer was, “I hain’t got nothin’agin him.” After all, there is a better way than to leave this work to the commissioner and overseer of highways. The law is all right—let it stand but enforce it. Set us take up the theory that it is ev­ ery man’s individual work, and try that. I suggest that our association ap­ point a village improvement committee, with this special work in view. Let the attention of property owners in village and country to be called to provisions of tliis law. Let every man set trees against his own land. Let the country take up the work and meet the villages. Let there be a uniformity in townships and villages, so far as Dossible, and among adjacent land owners. As to the distance trees shall be set from the outer line of the highway, see Sec. 1,408 Howell’s statutes. Let trees be set uot ’.ess than thirty-ftve nor more than sixty feet apart—say thirty- five to forty feet in villages and forty to sixty feet in the country. Let tbe foolish habit of setting trees without roots or vitality be abandoned. Let this committee of our associations, clothed with no legal authority whatever, and requiringnone, enter upon this work, and engage, through personal effort, through tire press, ana through every friendly aid, the active co-operation of all men. Let them canvass the village personally, interviewing owners of proper^ where there is no friendly shade, in each case, take their orders for the number of •trees required by them. Have contracts with faithful mtn of experience, who are in active sympathy with your work and who will do their work well, to furnish trees. You will want them by scores and by hundreds. Have one of your committiMi or a suitable man to receive them and leave them at the proper places, and see to it that they are promptly and property set oat. Remember that, with good setting and proper protection, the success of the tree is assured. Let the press call at­ tention to the law on the subject and to your good work and invite the active co-operation of all. Gentlemen, there is satisfaction in the concionshess of having wrought a good work. If a man dies under such circumstances, there is some advantage about it—you don’t have to skirmish around so far to get a minister who is willing to preach tbe funeral sermon. Why, I heard of a man in the west, Kansas 1 believe it was, I forget just where. He ran away from the east to go there and never hod done a good thing there. He died. They couldn’t got anyone to preach his sermon. They all knew him. They had laid him out, thrown into a cheap coffin—lumber from Muskegon, I believe. Finally a man stepped forward and said that he would try to say Mimething. Tbe time was set. The sermon came—“My friends, I don’t like to preach this man's funeral sermon. 1 didn’t like tbe man. He had horses, nnd he run 'em. He had cocks, and he fit 'em. He had money, bnt he gambled it all away. He’ bad friends but he made thorn all his enemies.

If you must hear it, come with me to my house, and I will relate to you that which is now known to but few per­ sons. That which I will tell you I have sad reason to know is true, for tho lovely woman .was my uncle’s wife.” 1 “At the base of the Sandval moun­ tains lies a level mesa of several hun­ dred acres ia extent, crossed by a mountain brook. In the center of the mesa is a rambling adobe building, with many placitas in which were once lovely statuary and sparkling fuun* tains, overshadowed by noble trees. Tbe cool waters of the brook rippled through the grounds and singing birds of brightest plumage dipped their wings in the sparkling depths. These wide acres belong to one of the wealth­ iest families in New Mexico, and were given hundreds of years ago in an old panish grant to the first of the name Salazar who came to this territory'. The house is old, very old, and much of its former magnificence is still dis­ cernible in the rich carvings aud splendid furnish iugs, but many a dreary year has passed since human feet have tread the moth-eaten carpeUj or looked from - the dust-grimed windows. The hand of the destroyer has touched it, and ruin is imprinted everywhere. Perfects Salazar, my father’s young­ est brother, inherited this land as his share in my grandfather's estate. My uncle was a passionate, unreasoning man—a maniac when fairly roused. He was forty-five years old when he married, and took for his wife a wild young girl whom he had dandled on bis knee When a baby. She did not love him, it was not in the nature of things that she should, but married him in obedience to her father’s com­ mands. She loved a man her equal in position and age; but to keep her from a marriage he did not approve, her father hurried on the marriage with Any uncle. 1 believe that Dqjores Perea meant to keep sacredly the vows taken at the altar, and did, so far as il was in her nature so to do, but her giddy ways were wholly unsuited to the serious manhood of my uncle, who loved her with all the passionate ardor of a man who had never known but one love. He surrounded her with every luxury that money could buy, and her light nature was in a measure contented, but my unde was so insanely joalous of her tliat his life was made miserable by Dolores, who often tormented him needlessly. It is just twenty years this very night since they were married, aud nineteen years since Dolores looked for the last time on my uncle's face. She had among her jewels a bracelet, one of that peculiarly hideous pattern •o much in vogue in those days.

A very pretty incident was sociated with the early history of New Izindon, and may properly be brought in here. It was related by Gov. Win­ throp himself in 1872 in testifying concvming the boundaries In one of the suits with its neighbors, which the litigious and ambitious town was con­ stantly maintaining. In 1634-7 Jona­ than Hudd, a Say brook colonist, was very desirous of marrying his affianced bride. All had been prepared for the ceremony, but a heavy snowstorm prevented the minister engaged from coining. In this extremity he ap­ plied to Winthrop. Tlie latter, while eager to aid the lovers, was not legally empowered to officiate in Connecticut juruKlletiou, holding, as he did, his authority from Massachusetts. He solved tbe difficulty 1^- proposing that the bridal company come to “Bride brook.” then called ••Sunkipaug,” two miles west of Niantic bay, and tlie limit of the plantation. The propo­ sition was accepted, and beside the icecovered brook, with the crisp show cracking between their feet, and tlie bare bpmehes of the trees intercept­ ing none of tbe feeble raya of tlie sun, was performed a marriage lite un­ paralleled in romance, and yet vouched for in history. �Onr <Ute lia. r<mlud> u lul lb- : that ,tb.w«n hill near Sugar Creek, and, though tired, sere jubilant over the prospect of raised cake* for sapper, in place of the usual cold-water slup.acks.

As to whether tho Confederate soldier was any more superstitious than tho Fed­ eral I neither a limit nor deny, but I think the same superstitions in regard to battles probably prevailed to an .equal extent on. both side*. Wo mar laugh at them now, but we once accepted and pinned our faith to them. " Tbo first instance to come under my ob­ servation was at Gaines' Mill. I was then serving with an Alabama regiment, and on . the morning of the day on which we were making our coffee at tho early camp-fire I heard a sort of groan from a comrade, and as I turned to look at him I noticed that he was staring into bis coffee-pot with some­ thing like terror, while hia face was death■ IJ-lW bkl la Itr I aakad. “I shall bo killed to-day," ho groaned out • “Fudge! We don't know that even a single musket -will lie fired.” "I dreamed last night," he whispered, "that I looked down upon a sboet of water whose surface was covered with bubbles, and amidst them I saw my own dead face. I shall be shot lefore night ” I ridiculed the idea and brought up others to assist me. but tbe only reply to our raillery trass sad shake of the bead. He .was a believer in dreams, and he cer­ tainly felt that bis Inst day had come. In place of eating his breakfast he scribbled off a letter to his mother and intrusted it to a comrade. In a Little time we got the order to march, and before noon my regi­ ment was thrown forward to uncover a portion of the Federal line. The first mis­ sile sent at us waa a solid shot from a field­ piece. and it struck' the young soldier in tbe ch« st and cut him fairly in two, witb. out injuring (toother man. Not another man was even wounded for the next teu minutes. Tbo night before Burnside crossed at Fredericksburg a Second Lieutenant in n Virginia regiment received, with hundreds of others, some mail from a regimental bag. I carried tbo pack of twenty or thirty letters over to the officers' quarters and handed it to this Lieutenant Tbe top let­ ter was for him, and on one end of tbo . envelope was a red stain. It looked like blood, but was probably ink. He no sooner saw it than he became greatly affected, and said; "I shall be the find officer out of the regi­ ment killed to-morrow." I beard a dozen officers ridiculing him, but he became silent and serious, and finally walked away by himself. We were down bn tbe nght where the first Federal attack was made. Our regiment was using a long and deep land furrow as a rifle-pit, and the advance line of bhte had just come within range, when a bullet struck the Lieutenant in the bead and killed him in­ but it was afterward- agreed that the officer who was killed waa perhaps tho least ex­ posed of any. There was a superstition ia my regi­ ment that any ouc who went into battle with tho foot of a rabbit tied around his neck was safe. This was oil right, and rabbits* feet were at a high premium for two or three weeks. My brigade was then pushed uhead on n reeonnoisaince, bumped up against tbe kanka, and we not only got severely thrashed, but we lost a uood many men. Out of the seventy men iu my commn.nd I presume that thirty had the talis­ man. It so happened that the three killed belonged to tae “lucky" se\ and next day rabbits' feet took a decided fall tn price. I was for a time a Brigadiers orderly. His superstition was that be would lie safe from bnllr-t. long ns he rods a chestnut lowed him his chestnut was shot, and. of course, I "hustled" to bring him upanotber. Mine was c coal black, and the only oue I could get for him was a roan. Ho didn't seem to notice the difference until the ac­ tion was over, and men I got a terrible ratfag. In the second bottle he had a chestnut, and even before our line came under fire a bullet crippled the horse, and another hit my superstitious General in the thigh and left him to limp through life on a short leg. I personally knew other officers who felt safe on roans, bays, blacks, and even whites, bnt they sooner or later discovered that they had pinned theil faith to a rule which had exceptions. 1 remember that just before Grant at­ tacked Lee ia the Wilderness, and while I which there was a large flock about the yard, scratched up u steel button. A^crgeant of cavalry st onoe dismounted and se-.ured it. and when I asked what nso he could put it to, he replied: "I wilt drop it into tbe ear ot my Colonel’* boree just before the next battle, and do harm will coma to either of them." “But what fetich con there be in a steel button?" “Oh. it isn't so much in the bation as in the ben scratching it up before my eyes.” “But why uot try it In your own home's ear >ind.tuke care of yourself?" “To be lucky it mast be given to some- and naked him bow the fetich worked.

A pretty feature was the "march­ ing spng” be 35 or 40 children, each with a boquet of flowers—who sang as they marched through the aisles of the church.

Her Majesty is the pattern of a woman in all the relations of life. Her mother died March 16, 18C1, ' followed by tho sudden death of the Prince * Consort, Dec. 14. Vic torti Victoria was in her eightecntlMkear when --■he became Queen.

The contrast was a great one between the Court of George IV:, or even that ot William, and the truly English home where the Duchess of Kent nurtured this sweet life in all ‘that was simple, loving, and pure. Tb^re could scarcely have beeu n better school for an affectionate nature. ' Without touching on (ha earlier period of her reign, which was not without many incidents of interest, we turn to tho married years of the Queen os to a bright and aunny mwu,ory. The Quoin's married life wm ideally perfect. She married the man she loved, and each, yeak deepened her early affection into an a*dnupstion, a reverence and a pride which elevated her love into consecration. There was no home in England made more beautiful by al! that was tender, cultured, and noLie, than that in which “the blame­ less prince" fulfilled his heroic career of duty, and abed tho bright light of hb joy­ ous. affectionate, and keenly intellectual life. There were fewer homes in which a greater amount of trying and anxious w^rk was more systematically accomplished, or in yrhich there was a more exquisite blending of hard thinking with the enjoyment of tho fine arts and the fullness of loving family happiness. It i* when wo come to this bright time, so full of fresh interest and of a delight­ ful freedom s that we have the advantages of tbe Queen's own “Leaves from the Journal of Our Life in the Highland*." Her visit to Edinburgh in 1842, and tbe drive by Biroam and Aberfeld to Taymouth, aud the splendor of tha reception, when amid the cheers of a thousand High­ landers and the wild notea of tho bag­ pipes, she was welcomed by Lord Breadalnane, evidently stirred every feeling of romance.

They appeared bewildered and dazed with fear, ana complied with the demand at once without making a show at resistance. “Lillie ordered them to shoot tbe first one that set bis foot on tbe porch, but tho frightened slaves were like sc many blocks of wood, without tbe sense of shame at their display of cowardice.

He tamed partly around as she fired, and ws all knew he was hurt, for his right arm appeared to be useless. "‘Catch the blasted wench! Catch her and tie her!* he exclaimed, and in a moment her pistol was knocked from her band aud the great, rough men grasped her and tied her with cords. It makes my heart ache to think how the poor girl sobbed when she found she was powerless in their hands. “ *O, where is John, or Henry, or Jeff?

Yet it ia, nevertheless, a cold, hard, aud undeniable fact that tbe lightest and pret­ tiest beer made in this country is brewed of rice, together with glucose, and is noth­ ing more nor leas than a mild form of dead­ ly rice Lnuidy. with which tbe hnlf-civilixed Chinese swell their shaven heads.

It is imported to Son Fra»ciseo iu large quantities for the residents of Chinatown, and Jersey applejack is lamb­ like and mild compared with it. It is no wonder that, while stimulated and frenzied through drinking this dilution of liquid dynamite, revolting crimes are constantly I>eq>etrated by them. Walking on house-. tops is but an indifferent comparison with the feeling of elevation produced by a single glass of thia peculiar intoxicant. It is of straw-color.' and quite pretty to look upon; but to oue unaccustomed to its in­ dulgence its effect ou lhe bruin is like (hat ot the deadly night-shhdo upon the stom­ ach. It is startling news to Americans to be told that they are being fed with rice brandy in any form without knowing it. Put lhe question to any large brewer, and ask him if he does not depend upon rice for the making of bis best beer, and. if ho does not prevaricate, he will be forced to acknowledge it as a fact. Tbe steamship Fulda, plying between Bremen and New York, brougbt to New York, the first week in November last, J,BOO bags of cracked rice, each bag weighing *240 pounds, aud the whole shipment weighing throe hun­ dred and thirty-six tons. The vesse.'s of tbe German lines bring about double this amount to New York twice a week. This rice is imported to Gernuu< from India for exclusive nse by brewers, who produce with it the lighter shades of amber and straw-colored beer that have been found to sell best in this country. Lager beer was originally made from hops, barley, and malt, brewed in the fall and allowed to re­ main in the vats until spring, when it was calked for use. The dark beers were those having tbe most barley in them, while the light were made up mostly from hops. Beer differs from whisky by being pro­ duced through alow fermentation, and tho custom of letting It lie all winter iu vaults retarded fermentation to exactly the proper degree. Barley is a high-priced ingre­ dient. and, therefore, such ingrodi -nts ns rice nnd corn are Bubelituteil in its place. These do not contain sufficient sugar, nnd. consequently, glucose must be added to give them enough. Tho modern brewer is a progressive business mon, and regards “life as too short" to wait through a long winter for his vats to cool. He uses cool­ ing machines and hurries the process of his beer-makinv, bo that he markets his weakened rice-brandy in a month after it is diluted to proof, aud tbe first-class hotels, restaurants, and saloons proffer ’it to their patrons under tbe guileless shape of bottled beer.

And the various forms of literature and and wontoip nil look to tbe same ends in learning and government and religion. Aud thus it may be seen that the Salva­ tion Army, however new .or strange its methoda nnd work may appear, in no! nn exotic; but is somehow indigenous; is the were to be or product of the nature and cutgrowth needs of man, and of tho oeanhar condi­ tions nnd influences o"f tho long past that have coiue down to our present, and aro making it what it is. Nor should this re­ ligious movement of our time be regarded os something wholly different from nnj'thing in other ages. It is at center, a form of religious revival; and such were the movements under Luther, and Calvin, and Knox, and Wesley, and Whitfield; and such, too, were the various orders of the monks, and friars, and Jesuits, in their in­ ception nnd early life. The'objective phases of the Salvation Army that attract most attention, and seem so strange to ail bnt those taking part, are tho processions on the streets with banners *und drums and horns, and tbo jbo of these in their worship. And at first, they do im­ press one strangely; and more so in their worship than when marching or parading through tbe city. And then, the military names and forms of their order are pecul­ iar in religion; but all these aro merely ex­ ternals; means to an enA And as such they have proved woaderfully efficient, not only in attracting attention and drawing in the careless ana loafing elements, but in securing tbo discipline and concerted ac­ tion of tbo anny itself. Tbo timer life and spirit and manner of conducting their meetings are nut unlike those of the early Methodists; and aside from tho drums and tambourines, and uniforms, not nnltke what many of us have seen in Methodist campmeattngs and revivals. Providence has bo planned tho great move­ ments of tho world that society must in a measure move all together. It is true that enc part may seem to get away from an­ other—the cultured classes may get for in advance of the hmmms. and the ignorant and vulgar crowds fall far behind: but there are always noble spirits that are somehow called to go back and help bring up the rear—lhe philanthropists and mis­ sionaries that go down to the lowest to help them rise. And often, too, some powerful inspiration comes to some soul that is struggling along with these nuuses, and is one of them, and he rises up m a leader. Aud always when a forward movement is once set in motion there are many who feel the impnlse of the now life, and soon become efficient rorkera and even great lujiders. All this finds illustration in the Salvation Army. A few years age a young Wesleyan Methodist preacher in England, who hod been quite successful in the regular "cir­ cuit appointments,” failed In health, and wait pronounced n consumptive by his physician and forbidden to work. He looked over tbe great city of London, nnd saw the large cathedrals' and tho wealthy churches well attended by tbo upper classes, and rejoiced that with these there was much intelligence and piety. But be saw also that tbe larger numt>er of the poor and the ignorant aud tho vicious aud the fallen classes had no church, attended uo form of religions meetings, and that the churches seemed powerkts to reach them; and, like tbe Christ, this good man had “compassion on the multitude," and asked if there was no way to help them to a bet­ ter life. He decided to at least make an effort, and getting a small, plain tent, nnd pitch­ ing it out in one of tbe most neglected dis­ tricts. he began singing and talking in the open air to such as would stop to listen. At tbe close of such a service he would in­ vito serious ones to his little tont, and soon be had around him n Imuh? of earnest helpers. And then camo the question of I larger work; and then toe thought uf a military form of organization camo, and was tried, and has proved successful. And now the Salvation Army ii in every land and in all the great cities, aud numbers its hundreds of thousands; and has build­ ings nnd property, and a press and litera­ ture of its own. Tbe question rr.ay tie asked. “Is this great movement doing good or doing barm?" Tbo answer tnnst be that it is doing both; bnt tho good is immensely more than tbe evil, and we should look to ace the harm grow less and the Rood greater. Tho Sal­ vation Army is not for the "well." but for the “sick;" its mission is to reach those who are lieyond the ordinary influences of the churches: to reach and reform drunk­ ards and outcasts, and thou set them to work among their old associates. But many persons of better rais­ ing aud culture aud morals have also been won by the inspiration of lhe cause, and have given up all; have "joined tho army " and gone to tko war; nnd these give a lunch-needed strength and help *to those ot humbler origin. The cnthusiasni of the “army" holds many weak Ixstiunero until they gain strength to stand alone; and as time goes on the drum and tbe banjo will give place to tbe piano and the organ, and in a hundred years the Salvation Army may be building theological seminaries ana trying their preachers for heresy! Bat if so, and if they have not carried all tbe lower classes up with them, then from their ranks, or from somewhere, other workers and methods will arise, that “the fragments be gathered up. and nothing l>e lost," in the world's long and upward march.

Leaving Nashville Tuesday, May 81, I soon realized tuat we can get a long distance from home in a short time, for Wednesday evening found me in the city of Worcester, Mass., a beautiful city of about 80,000 inhabitant*, where was held, June 2nd. the annual reunion of the Bigelow family, and my mother being a Bigelow I classed myself among the decendents of that ancient family. The day was spent in forming pleasant acquaintances and listening to address• es, poems, music, etc. An elegant din­ ner was served in elaborate style, and at evening we parted, feeling it had. l>een a day long to be remembered •for its plea-ant associations and we trust lasting friendships formed. Friday morning found ns on our way to Boston, where we temsined until Tuesday. Jo tho meantime we visited Bunker Hill monument, and after reg­ istering our name in the great book where thousands from all over.the land had placed their names before us, we proceeded to climb the 295 stairs which brought ns to the top of the monument 221 feet high, where we had a fine view of the city of Boston and the numerous citiesadjoiniug. We also visited the Old South Church 1 around which clusters so much of in­ terest to our American people. It is in rood Male ot pre.err.ttoi>, but uo Ion. _ ’ . .. ger used for ch arch service*, but i» fill­ ed with ancient relics, many of them from the Revolutionary war. We saw the window through which Warren entered to deliver hia famous oration. After viewingtbe many things too numerous to mention, we registered our name aud went our way. Words would fail to describe the beauty of Boston Common nnd Public Garden. They must be seen to be ap­ preciated. Sunday, June 5th, we attended church at Tremont Temple, a magnificent htnitture. We listened to an excellent sermon and music by a choir ot 75 or 100 voices accompanied by a pipe organ and the immense congregation joining in perfect time. Imagine tho volume of sound. Not the least among our pleasure j trips was that across Boston Harbor to Nantasket Beach, where we spent an hour gathering shells from the sea­ shore and eating clam chowder and other good things. Tbe grandeur of the mountains and l>eautv of the varied scenery haunts me like a pleasant dream.'

But few word* passed as the officer drew rein. He said to Nunnelee : “Here is Vallandigham, sentenced to banishment."

Been out harvesting hay the past The Congregational Sunday school held their annual picnic at Tnornapple lake on Wednesday, and all reporta very enjoyable time. The Nashville cornet band accompanied the party and enlivened the occasion with good music, adding thereby very much Vo the enjoyment of the party. The school, to the number of over 100, met at the church, at 9 o'clock, in convey­ ances provided for that purpose, and, led by the band, made a detour of the principal streets in town, afterwards starting for the lake, where they ar­ rived at 10:30 a. m. At 1 o’clock a bountiful dinner was spread in the spacious dining hall of the Lake House, to which all did ample justice. The afternoon was spent in rowing, steam­ boat riding, and amusements on shore. Not the slightest accident occurred to mar the enjoyment of the excursion and it is one long to be remembered by those participating.

Since then, the incentive for regular attendance and thorough work has been great, and the week of examina­ tion and promotion has been antic­ ipated with no slight degree of anxiety. Although but 200 names were enrolled when school first opened in the new building, the interest awaken­ ed has been growing and the attendance increasing, so that, during the past year, the enrollment was nearly 300. The studies of the two highest grades are book-keeping, physiology, algebra, general history, English literature, philosophy, German, Latin, botany and geometry. The completion ot these by four of the students led to the first esof its government are properly ad­ justed and improved together. Edna Truman followed, and, with her usual dignity and self-possession, did justice to the declamation, “Angela JtKiaor." Myron J. Stanton's “History of oYr Schools" was well received. He thought that the progress of the schools in the past two years Should character­ ize this period, as the “Golden Age" m their history. The Valedictory, by Miss Alice Smith, in which she predicted, with some degree of humor, the future career of the members of the class was no more meritorious than should have been expected from oue wHq. daring the past year, has walked, nearly 1,000 miles, and carried forward the studies ot two grades. The Class Song was sung by C. H. Barber, then came an ad­ dress by Suot. Wirt, of Portland, Ind. This was a very appropriate discourse, and, one which, for* eloquence, could scarcely be excelled. The diplomas were then presented by Prof. Roberts, who closed bis remarks to the class by extending to them bis best wishes, and hoping that their lives migh be successful in the highest sense of the word, success. Hon.

A good foundation for future effec­ tive work has now been laid ; and it be­ hooves our citizens to continue the in­ terest already manifested. and to ex­ ercise the greatest discretion in the election of trustees who will sustain the superintendent and teachers, as they have been sustained in the past two years, that the prosperity of the schools may be ensured and the superstructure erected, a credit to our towu.

As soon ns ho Emerged from the darkness a volley of shots, from tbo timber to the north, greeted him. end he l>e*t a hasty rotre.it, but not flutil be .saw a huge pile of blazing straw againei the building. The tongues of the tlanies wore reaching up to, aud over the roof, like some huge demon, and tho fate of the mnnaion seemed scaled. A* John turned logo a puff of air struck his toco and the flame* shut up far over the roof. Tho thunder began'to sound more distinctly, and a few drops of rain pattered against tha bouse. Then came another gust of wind, and thaflntnesenvelopedtho man­ sion like a mantle. Then again came atillnese, only relieved by the crackling of the fire. Nothing now but the intervention of prov­ idence could save tho building from de­ struction. A faint hope buoyed up the inmates. What they had *o feared ip the early even­ ing. they now looked to for their only help. ’ For an instant the entire heavens were aboze with electricity, and n deafening peal of thunder shook the very foundation of tho structure, and-made the frightened peo­ ple crouch in teiror. A mournful sound fol­ lowed like the groaning of aom* great mon­ ster, and then tho storm struck the house. Thon the flood-gates of heaven were opened and the tain poured down in tor­ rent*. The lightning was continuous, and the crash of thunder that followed deafening. Gradually the light waned and in a few miuutes the fire waa extinguished. For an hour the elements continued battling above the drenched earth, and then tho storm de­ parted a* quickly as it had come, and the people who were thus providentially saved by tba opportune interference of nature be­ lieved that “God fights the battles of the just." The bushwhackers mutt hare had a sim­ ilar thought, for they slunk awny and left tho persecuted people to enjoy another quiet night Our fnend* had been acting antirely on the defensive, but thia began to grow monotonoua, and John and Henry concluded that unless the bushwhacker* continued to press matters, they would change tho order of things. A few day* had passed away, and our friends bad not seen anything more of their enemies. They believed that it was only a question of time when the rascals would ngnin putin an appearance, and they kept a continual watch lor them. One day two men rode up to the man­ sion gate and asked to see the proprietor. Two guns were leveled at the strangers from the windows, and Juhn with his rifle walked out on tho porch. •Who are you, and what do you want?" he demanded. “ We^e friends, and ore huntings place to stop," was the reply. “Well, lay down your guns and come up to the houao." They readily complied, and left their guns leaning agninxt the fence, and strolled lei­ surely up tho path, but kept a watch upon the Wire Rood from which they had eomo. As they came up tho stops one of the strangers—who was poorly dressed, but possessed of a fair-looking countenance, with honest gray eyes, which looked un­ flinchingly under John’s searching g.izc— reached out his long, bony hand and took that of our hero with such fervor that it made that young man wince. “Mr. Eddies, I ’sposo?” The sentinel waa not fifty feet away from John. His gun was carefully raised and a deadly aifti taken. For an instant there was ji death-like stillness find then a quick, sharp whistle pierced the uigbt-air, and tho next instant tho report of two guns almost simultaneously rang out, and reverberated among tho hilla. Each sprang for his man but it was un­ necessary, the bullets had done their work. A rcrtuui of tenor was hoard from within, •nd then all was still. John grasped • huge stone, and in a twinkling the door wo* knocked from its hinges. There was no time to lose now. The camp was, no doubt, already aroused, and would soon bo upon them. John caught hi* half-fainting sister and carried her ou: to the horses, Sylva and " Jeff following after. The night air soon re­ vived the frightened girl, and as quickly a* possible tho captive and tbo maid wore placed upon horse*, and John and Jeff mounted theirs. Then the race for life and liberty began. They traveled directly up the valley down which they had come, and into which they had driven the bushwhackers' horse*. When they had reached that point, they "William Gunn. Folks call mo Bill, found the animals quietly feeding. They though.” kept them in front and continued on up the “Glad to meet you, Mr. Gunn.

Saving Washington. Sunday, July 10, 1864, was a block day for the capital of this nation, and every­ body in it, from President Lincoln down. It was feared, and with good reason, that the next day would see the Confederate flag flying from the lofty dome of tho Capitol. By what a very narrow chance Washing­ ton escaped capture at that time—a matter of hours instead of days—is not generally known. My regiment was among tbe troops that were reaching toe periled city aa fast as steam could bring them, and therefore I bad good opj»ortnnitr to know what u tre­ mendous danger the nation escaped in tho«> critical days. Some people. taking a very narrow view if the military situation at tbat time, hare said: “Well, suppose Washington had fallen? The enemy could not have hold •L There would have been a flurry for a jw days, and then tho city would have "been evacuated." Whether General Early could havo held it or noUas a permanent possession, is of little consenuence. He could certainly nave Beld it Jong enough to have disheart­ ened, if not demoralized, the whole North. Grant would have been compelled to de­ tach troops enough to retake it, and h would hnvo been necessary to raise tho aiege of Richmond and Petersburg, or to greatly protract that siege. Wu may faintly imagine tbe effect that would have been produced in Europe by lhe news that Washington was in the hands of tbo Con­ federates. It was not yet too late ’in the war to talk seriously about recognizing tho Soumern Confederacy—it would not have been too late for Franca und England, at least—after such a blow as that. On the whole, it is difficult to think of a time of greater danger to the .^'nion cause than presented itself on thnt very Black Sunday al Washington, July 10, 1864. The people who were within its de­ fenses just then will remember something of it For about a week railroad and telegraph communication with the North hod been cut off. The supply ot provisions was running short. Tho forts around lhe city were poorly garrisoned by a scanty force, some of whom were veterans and others were hundred-day militia. Clerks in the departments and employes of the Quarter­ master General were hurriedly armed and sent out to do duty as soldiers against tbe Confederate veterans of a dozen cam- Potomac, with steam up. ready to take tbe President and other high officers of tho Government down to Fortress Monros as soon as the danger should become immi­ nent. Tho danger was certainly getting to be imminent enough-' From Fort Stevens, which win plain sight of ths capital. tbe garrison saw that Sunday, away off Ttn the north roads, the cloudv of dust arising from the hoofs of McCausland's cavalry, which was the advance of General Early's army. During tbat day and tho next tlie deep columns of tbe Coufedetatea, march­ ing through torturing heat aud dust, were letting into position outside the iortificatious; and by evening of the 11th the gar­ risons of tbe north forts looked over upon fifteen thousand of the euemv. How, it will be asked, could they ever have l»een permitted to get there? How was It possible for Wash ugton to have been menaced in this way. dating tbe last year of the war? And bow did re­ enforcements happen to arrive in th - very nick of time, and where did they come trom? The story reads like romance; is more entertaining than romance, because it is tLe truth. Probably if somebody should of this country during the previous few weeks, which dirrclly Influenced too mentoe people would say the whole thing was improbable. But truth to, and ever will be, stranger than fiction. Let roe tell that story, with exact truth about dates, names, and jiersons. It is not necessary to mention anybody by way of evnrare; the plain facts show that some emment people did not know near a« much about the situation of affairs as they should have known. Let ns go back to the 30th day of June, about two weeks before. Down on the banks of*the Mississippi, at Morganza, nboi Port Hudson on the other side, the Nineteenth Army Corjx was resting from the fatigues of the Red River orders always did—to Dull up and go aboard steamer* immediately.

Our corp* wan to report lo Fortress Monroe, when it would be sent up to City Point, to be put in aomewbere on tbe lines of that weary, dragging siege.

Never had there been such an opportunity to relieve Rich­ mond and Petersburg by threatening Washington. Ho would send Early with bis “foot cavalry" tbe length of the volley, lo the Potomac; then he wonld be in rear of Washington, aud by a rapid march might seize it. Tbe scheme wns a dazzling one for tbe Confederacy, and it came perilously near to success. Let us now follow Early’s march on Washington fqr about seven days. On toe 27th of June ho was el Staunton; on tha 2d of July at Winchester, sending bis cavalry to raid and break up the Balti­ more and Ohio Railroad, and destroy Gov­ ernment otores. Tho Union forces at Martinsburg and other points retired into Maryland, after somo snarp fighting, and on July 5 Early crossed the Potomac at Sbopberdstown. The strangest part of this affair is tbe sublime confidence tbat General Halleck and Secretary Stanton felt and expressed that Washington was in no danger. Neither of them could bo made to believe that a Confederate army was in Maryland, until trema and Churubusco. Ho also served in tbe fact was plain to everybody.

Then the band struck up “Biddy McGee,” and the procession started as grand as could be to parade the street* just like a circus, 5,000 people‘cheering the start and other thousands cheering all along tha line. The procession went parkward*. . (ICS SECOND VICTORY. No one could have asked for a more rarely beautiful day than that which dawned on Saturday for our second game with the Bostons. Kelly was suffering greatly from an attack of “Charley Horse," or contraction of the muscles in his left leg, and young Mad­ den, of the Bostons, had to do the running for him. Still, Mike played with mtveh of his old-time vim, ana the game was a great one in every way. The crowd w« nearly as large as that of the day before. Men and boys were packed in the side stands like figs, and the grand stand was so full that men *al in the aisles. There was a deep semi-ciraie of plug hat* and bonnets in front of the grand stand in tho space reserved on either side of the catch­ er's path, while the outfield was fringed with at least two thousand men.

Fall Power* Given to the ExecutiveBoard in AU Matters Relating to fi trikes. irhilodelptita tetegram.l By returns mode to the general headquartera of the Knights of Labor the new constitution of the order, embodying many important changes, ha* been adopted by about * throe-fourth* vote. A danse pro­ viding for the formation of national tradeeassemblies, sent out separately from the constitution, and verted upon by the local oasembHos throughout the order, ha* also been adopted by nearly the •*«» vote. The new constitution will b* promulgated by the General Executive Board in a very few days, and will go into effect immediately after it* promulgation. An analysis showsthat nearly half of the local aa*emblis*that ojipoaed the adoption of th* new con­ stitution did so on account of section 325,whieh reads: No local, or oth< r assembly, or member, shnM directly or indirectly give, sell, or have any ale, beer, or intoxicating liquor* of any kind, at any meeting, party, socia­ ble, ball, picnic or entertainment what­ ever, appertaining to the order. Any mem­ ber found guilty of rid ding this law shall be suspended not tees than six mouths, or expelled. No lino' shall be imposed forthin ofien-e. Any local or other assembly so offending shall be stisp«nded daring tbepleusure of the General Executive Board, or shall have its charter revoked by jiaid board. Nearly every nssemblr composed solely of Germans voted against this clause, and hereforo against the whole. The article upon co-operation wa*adopted unanimously. It is quite lengthy, and provide* for the creation and disburse­ ment of a fund to aid co-operation enter­ prises. Each local assembly ia required tocollect nnd deposit a’sum not less than i cents per month for every member in good standing. The money is to be invested by the co-opcratiro board, and profits are to be divided equally between the general osaemby, toe co-operative fund, and the workmen who create the profit. ' Tho new constitution give* the General Executive Board full power to settle all strikes and disputes, whether sanctionedby the board or not, and it increases the powers of the General Board in many other purticulare. Hereafter each district, State, national, or unattached local assembly shall be en­ titled to one delegate to each 3,000 mem­ bers or majority fraction thereof. Tho term of office, over which there has been somueh controversy, has been fixed at two Sars. The compensation hereafter will fixed by the General Assembly when the officer is elected. The national trad* assemblies clause is probably the most important ef the changes. It prorides that "Any particular trade or calling may form a national trade assem­ bly by giving st least three months’ notice to each local assembly—pie entire mem­ bership of which is composed of such trades—to attend a convention for the pur­ pose of forming a national trade assembly.”* At least two-thirds of the local nsseinblies must vote in favor of the trade assem­ bly, and not leu than ton assemblies, if there be that number in the order, may re­ ceive a charter. Section 3 of the article is not very strong, however, u it still leaves the matter in thehands of tbe General Executive Board, which, if th? law has been complied with, may instruct the General Secretary to is­ sue a charter. Votes will be received until July 15 and recorded, although the new coustiluiiftn will be in effect' some time before thaU ===s=== < TWO WOMEN CRL’ELLT WHTPI’ED Ohio *• Regulator* *’ La«h Them with Switches Till They llccomv Vnconscion*. . ;Wlneh»»ter Ohtoi specisL) About six months ago a band of “regu­ lators” was organized in this (Adams 1 coun­ ty to drive out disreputable people nnd break up tbe house* of ill-fame.

Six or eight terrific-looking dogs had dashed into tbe crowd, and the people were running f. r their lives. Three of the dogs dashed up to the speaker's stand, and, sitting down on the ground, pointed their noses at the Colonel and the members ef tbe commit­ tee. By thia time tho crowd had dispersed. Tho Colonel and his friends were alone. “Merciful heaven!" loudly mourned tbe Colonel, “they are going to jump up here!" The dogs had begun to cut ugly capers. “Grab a limb an* climb up in tne tree," some one shouted. Tho Colonel seized a limb, and after every ono ol»e had found a safe lodgment, he succeeded in climbing a short dis­ tance, when, to hi* horror, ho found that ho could climb no further, and what made the viluation still more thrilling, he found that the swinging limb dipped him down to within a few'fict cf the most lereciouslookiug dog. “Oh, Lord!" the miserable man groaned, as he felt himsvlf again dipped down, “i’ll bet anvthlug he nab* mo this time.

Tbe day wore away in agony, and a night of misery settled down, the' Colonel, alternating between praying and betting. na«sed the night somehow, nnd when day­ light camo tbe worn-out man saw that the dogs were gone. Tbe Colonel, unable to climo down, turned loose and fell off like a sloth. Mile* Brewer, early that morning, called up a pack of bloodhounds, and, a* ho fed them, remarked: "Good old boys.

The war was virtually over, but tbe bitter hates nnd persecutions en­ gendered by the strife in thi* remote region still glared fiercely. A Serious outbreak wns now at hand. Before s imi*« tho next 'morning the old black-mith, Saul Zophsr, displayed the stars and stripes from tbe:roof of his house, ami brought out ananv.l;and some powder, with which be extemporised a salute. The sun was not half on hour high when tha little street was filled with men; some in home-spun, some ip Confederate gray, some in Union blue, but all armed with rifles or muskets, and carrying knives. They ranged theiutelvo* in two parties of about equal strength. Alter much mutter­ ing nnd-scou ling. the spokesman of tha auti-Fourth-of-July people stepped for­ ward. “Saul, we want that flag down." * “O, do you?” tmewred tho old man, who bad a double-barreled gun. “Now 'sposa some of yoti felk-rs/ry takin' it douh!" ■ It’ll come down, 1 tell you!

At this instant two horses galloped up, and were reined in between the warring fso-----------..j. g yonng jjjjn. lions. 1 Mail tbe other by a handsome girl, an expert horsewoman. “Shame ou you all!” she cried. “Hasn’t there been bloodshed and misery enough among these mountains for four years, but yon must still keep It up?’ “Wimmen don’t know nothin' 'bout such things,” was a »ulky answer. “Do they not?" Her voice rang like a trumpet. “You know me; you know howl have visited your families, and helped them. One of my brother* was killed at Perryville, and the other at Vicksburg. They were on opposite aides." "These tellers want to pull down the flag.” old Saul put in. “Then they're wrong,” said tbe girL “The war is over; that i* our oulv banner now.

It has oecu mine, and I cannot recall those horrible scenes even now without a shudder. In tho autumn of 1863 an incident oc­ curred in the regiment to which I belonged (the Odo Hundred nnd Twenty-second New York Volunteers'), which bo clearly illustrate*, the magnanimity of bur noble Lincoln Jhat I think it worthy of record. Wo were at the time I iy>eak of guarding the Orango and Alexandria Railroad from the- periodical raids of the ubiquitous Mosby, ami were camped near Catlett s Station. A private of Company B, by the name of Dank-l Bowley, had some time previous applied for a furlough, that be might visit hw family in the North. Lottera from his wife were occasionally received, in which she complained bilterly of Che inattention ami neglect of those that hnd promised to care for the family of the absent soldier. As bo read of the Buffering of that faith­ ful partner and his little brood of children he berame adjected and moody, and, when he learned tnat hia application had been refused, in a fit of desperation he deserted end went to the dear ones at home. His deoertion was quickly followed by an ar­ rest and trial by court-martial. The sentence of the court was, “That on * certain day not far distant, between the hours of nine a- m. and two p. m., he be shot to death by muiketry." ' Tbe proceedings and sentence of the court were approved by the commanding General. a&d toe Provost Marah.il ordered to execute the seutence. When the sad tidings reached the One Hundred and Twenty-second indignation meetongs were held aud tbe court severely censured for passing what all considered an unjust rantence upon a worthy soldier; but there seemed no possible way of avert­ ing the impending catastrophe. Al! but one num became reconciled to the ap­ parently Inevitable. Lieutenant Colonel A. W. Dwight, com­ manding the regiment, determined, if it were within the power of man, to prevent the execution. Daniel Bowley should not die the death of a felon. He began by circulating a petition, drawn by himself, among the officer* of hia com­ mand, and, after securing the signature of e»eh and every oue, presented it to tho brigade, division, and corps commanded, and with their indorsement upon the paper started for army headquarter*. It requ red considerable persuasion to induce General Meade to sign the petition, as ho had decided to make an example of a few, hoping thereby to effectually check desertion in the future. -The General held out for some tune, but the eloquence ot the Colonel at last prevailed, and he returnedwith the name of George G. Meade affixed to the document. Lieutenant Frank Wooster, of Company “K," was detailed to carry the petition to Waehixigton, without delay, and present it to Mr. Lincoln in person. But one day intervened between that of WoosU r’s departure and the one appointed for the execution.

She never seems to indulge in that feminine luxury, “the blues,” and it is a mistake to suppose that she is noisy; there is jollity of the lady-like, aristocratic sort, os well as of the fish-wife order. The girl who makes up her mind that jollity i* the proper cue, nnd that she will be lively or die. usually overdoes tbe busi­ ness; she thinks that it chiefly consists in laughing and in chattering nonsense, that it is a manner of speech merely, rather than a quality of the mind which'disposes one to make the best of overthing, to see the rainbow on tbo cloud and tho silver lining b-hind it, to make the wrinkle in the rose leaf a cause of mirth.

Further, he had always declared that death was in itself no evil; to Hye unjustlv was evil; to suffer unjustly was a small misfortune in com­ parison with doing unjust-acta; and so he submitted to his sentence with a dignified cheerfulness which, as de­ scribed by his friend and disciple, Plato, has been the object of the veneration of all the centuries of learn­ ed and good men who have since been privileged with the contemplation of his great example.—Macmillan’* Magazine. ■ HANDSOMB WK GDI NO.

OWARD THORNDIKE reclined in a favorite easy­ chair by the window, rn one of tbo sumptuously [• fitted apartments in his | bachelor suite, listlessly ’watching tho blue wreaths .of smoke aa they rose from his fragrant havana and slowly curled themselves into fantastic shapes in their ascent to tho ceiling. The libretto ot a light opera. rested on his knee, and his cool, unruffled, and apparently careless exte­ rior would never have betrayed to an observer (he tumult which reigned within him. Howard Thorndike was a man who, or­ dinarily. would allow nothing, not even the most extraordinary occurrence, to startle or surprise him. Ho was about thirty years of age. a man of intellectual bearing, and possessed of that indescribable wefl-bred.sir which be­ tokens a gentleman everywhere. His dark brown hair drooped in waves on his broad forehead, whither it haa been pushed as he inadvertently ran his fingers through it during his reverie. Under tho firm-knit eyebrows bis usually sharp, deep-blue eyes had assumed a lackadaisical expression, and were now gazing at ths libretto on his knee with a far-away look, as though his mind was centered on some object miles berontl tho other side of it. That he was a favored son of fortune was apparent by tbe splendor of his surround­ ings. and the fact that his apartment* wsro the beat suite in one of lhe most fashionable hotels in New York City. No one oould live nt tbe Windsor without money, and money In plenty. Howard Thorndike's down-town investme-its yielded a handsome income, and en­ abled him to hold a corner at the club and a box at tho theater, to appear with a fourin-hand in the afternoon at the park, and to live in a luxurious manner, altogether at aase and almost without a core. He had traveled over continental Europe, and was well read and highly educated, everywhere au fait, and. in fact, a general favorite with his acquaintances, more especially with the designing mammas, who considered him a desirable- “catch" for their marriageable daughters. Many were the bails thrust for­ ward. many were the tea-parties, sociables, and balls gotten up for his especial benefit, and many were the times gracious mam­ mae retired, cross and disapjiointed, through his non-appearance. Polite notes of thanks and carefully worded excuses were sent them at the hands of a discreet vhleL A note of acceptance would have been the signal for filling tbe parlors of the favored hostes* to overflowing. His Bundays, for tbe previous two years, had been spent in Boston. Each Sunday morning found him there, and the next Monday morning back again in New York. Two seasons previous ho had been intro­ duced to Effie Desmond, at Saratoga, and had been bewitched by her pretty face and charming ways. She was a ward of Mr. and Mrs. Edouard He had presented his card at the stage door that evening and had been refused Liatlewly watching the blue wreathe of admittance. Ho could not bear to see her on tho stage again; so he returned to his rooms and sent her a note, telling her that ho attributed bar neglect to notify him by ho would call at a fixed time in tho after­ letter or telegram.

(V. MhlBffton special. ] The terrible destruction of life and property by tornadoes at this season cent investigations by Lieut John P Finley, al Service United States may, to some extent the danger which will do much to allav nnh alarm in thw Eastern Stales. At same time other re­ gions before tbought to be compara­ tively a«fe are found to bo more dan­ gerous than had been supposed. The first striking result of the exam­ ination at .Lieut. Finley’s map showing the geographical distribution of 1,867 tornadoes from 1682 to that the elusive, avoid, extended moun ranges. The ’ Rocky Mountains so insurmountable barrier that the country lying west of this great range is almost entirely free from tho long violent tornado tracts soon in Kan­ sas and Missouri. It is known that storm-centers which form west of the Rocky Mountains are imperfectly de­ veloped. and are not persutent or vio­ lent in their course until the Missis­ sippi valley is reached. Tornadoes form at an average distance of 453 miles south pant of the main storm­ center, as shown in 41 cases o'ted by Prof. H. A. Hazen, of the signal ser­ vice. It follows that the coU air from the foot of tlie Rocky Mountains, i-oming in the wake of an eastWfu-dly mov­ ing storm, manifesting unusually low barometer, causes sharp contrasts of temperature ia Kansas and Mis­ souri, aud these contrasts, sometimes an much os 50 degrees, result in great tornadoes frequently.in Northwestern Missouri no.l Northern Kansas. It is further shown by the distribution of tornado tracts that tbe average of severity and destruction steadily lessens as the storm centers move eastward from the Mississippi Valley. This wan­ ing of tornado power is gradual, but the danger does not entirely cease as the Atlantic coast is approached. The coast lines of the Gulf of Mexico and of the Atlantic Ocean ore nearly free from tornadoes, because great contrasts accompanying storm centers can not develop, owing to the equalizing effect of the ocean temperature and moisture. Of the total number of tornadoes reported nearly one-half occur in the Mississippi Valley, which is the region of greatest violence. The lapse of time must make this even more marked, because the records of the Eastern States cover a much long­ er period, while the number of torna­ does is less. The region of greatest frequency is along the north and west boundary lines of Missouri, increasing toward the point of intersection. Then comes Northwestern Georgia, extend­ ing into Alabama. A very solid and compact region of tornado develojxment is in Southern Michigan, tending toward the lower part of Lake Michi­ gan. For a distance of about *200 miles square this region nearly equals that of Kansas in frequency, though it has not more than one-tentL its extent, and its average severity far ‘less. In the Eastern States the most remarkable region next to Western Now York is in tho Connecticut River valley, which seems to be persistently followed by tornadoes through Connecticut and Massachusetts into New Hami>ahire. The open country here favors the de­ velopment of a small tornado with a track about a mile or half a mile long and from two to five hundred feet in width. Western Connecticut and Massa­ chusetts favor the accumulation of warm air from the Southwest, which nioves steadily northward, while Pennsylvania, Virginia and Western Delaware remain cool, this causing sharp contrasts of temperature. In southeastern Penn­ sylvania near tho bend of the Del­ aware River there is a group of torna­ does centering near Trenton, N. J. Southeast of Lakes Erie and Ontario there is also a lively region which is an extension due to the still higher con­ trasts of temperature common in the Mississippi Valier and southern Mich­ igan. In northeastern Mississippi there is a very marked extension of the Georgia and Alabama region, though not equaling it in frequency. The value of property reported to the Signal Service as destroyed in 205 years was about $28,000,000. Lieu­ tenant Finley estimates this to bo about one-tenth the actual value, making the total losses about $800,000,000. The number of deaths reported was 3,1G5, and tbe injured, 5.0W. These figures are doubtless much below tbe actual damage, because tornado reports in­ clude the main fagte only, ^hc trans­ mission of news is partly obstructed, and isolated regions escape report. The comparison of a number of tor­ nadoes with the amount of forest land By Sates, according to the United States census, indicates that these storms are not appreciably influenced by the presence or absence of forests. Tornadoes are caused by the persist­ ent movement and accumulation of air BASE-BALL. danger given j known that tornado insurance pre­ —tirmi —. — mi can be estimated justly, and in The Chicago (Hub, by Winning Throe that manner much expenditure saved; । Straight from New York, There is ovary reason to believe that if Takes Second Place. the tornado records were carried forword for several hundred years an as­ tonishing regularity ould' be discov­ Enormous Attendance at tn?

The father, though a man of wealth, trained his girls as well as boys to honest self­ support. Accordingly Susan chose the profession of teacher and followed the career for fifteen years. About two years lifter Mrs. Stanton called the first woman convention Miss Anthony become a con­ vert and .fully identified herself with the movement. For fortv years she has been one of Rs most prominent exponents, hav­ ing during that time made speeches per­ haps, in ex ery town of importance in the United States. One of tbe most exciting incidents in her varied career occurred, in 1872, when she tested her right to veto under the fourteenth amendment and cast a vote in the Presidential election. For this offense she was arrested, but appealed for a writ of habeas corpus. The writ was relused and her obliging counsel gave bonds. But this not only kept her ont of jail, but also kept her case out of the Supreme Court and the trial was hold atthe State Court in Roches­ ter. The Judge, after hearing arguments, refused to give the case 4o the jury and made the decision himself. "Tbe prisoner will iitand np." Miss Anthony arose. “The sentence of tbe court is that you pay a fine of $100 aud tbe costs of the prosecution." “May it please your Honor," answered the irate Susan, “1 will not pay a dollar of your tinjust penalty." “Madam, the Court will not order your committal until the fine is paid. Yon may go.” And Susan went, but she boa never paid her fine. Other leaders of importance are Mrs. Livermore, Miss Phabe Cousins, Lillie Devereaux Blake, and a score or more of lesser importance. tbe woman's righto doctrine living are. perhaps, Mrs. Elizabeth Cody Stanton and Miss Susan B. Anthony. These two ladies are about equal in age, but of the most op­ posite- characteristics, and illustrate the theory of counterparts in affection by en­ tertaining for each other a friendship of extraordinary strength. Mrs. Stanton is a smooth and* polished writer, but a pl or organizer ana manager. Miss Anthony, on the other hand, is a thorough organizer but a poor writer. No doubt a large share of the honor that would go to the originator of the woman's suffrage movement belongs to Elizabeth Cady Stanton. She was lx>rn Nov. 12, 1816. at Johnstown, N. Y.; her father be­ ing Judge Daniel Cady, a distinguished jurist of that State.

He had a wonderful hold on their sympa­ thies, and he enjoyed a popularity with the rank and tile such as no other Russian General has ever acquired. It was Skobeleff who conducted the pur­ suit and harrying of the wretched Yo-( mud Turcomans after Khiva, so vividly described by his friend and admirer, the American correspondent Moe Ga­ han; and it was Skobeleff who. after the atormingof-N'.'eok Tepe and the rout of its brave Tekke defenders, gave twenty-four hours* complete liberty tc his excited soldiers to work their wicked will on the persons aud property of the defenseless families of the dispersed Turcomans.

An old Federal soldier who now holds a seat in Congress said to me a few days ago: "The most promising military career in our army was blighted when Porter fell under n cloud. There ie no doubt of tho fact that he had a contempt for Pope as a man and as a commander. He chafed under the consciousness that he was under the command of an incompetent and spite­ ful officer. 1 don’t think this influenced his action in the historic case. If there was a men in either army who loved to tight it w*i| Porter, but he was no fool, and the conduct for which he was courtmartialed was the exercise of his military sense. He had an appreciation of the situation of which Pope was absolutely incapable, nnd he had no desire to sacri­ fice the Fifth Army Corps in a useless dash upon Jackson, with Longstreet ready to swoop down and insure tbe capture of his entire command." Said the sumo veteran: “The best corps commander, I believe, in either army, was Joe Hooker. I never saw a man who* could handle a corps so well and get so much fighting ont of it. But that was tbe limit of Hooker's capacity as a general. Sev­ eral times be bad command of an army, and each time be adopted tbe tactics which made him a matchless corps commander. Ho did not have a power of generalization sufficient to overcome his natural pug­ nacity. If one pait of his line was getting the worst of a fight be could not leave it, even to secure a great advantage elsewhere. “The two men,” continued the old soldier, “who have received less credit for tbeir work in conquering the Confederacy, compared to the value of their services, are Sherman and Meade. Sherman's ‘march to tbe sea' whs undertaken against tbe pro­ test of Grant and other high military au­ thorities. Stanton hated Sherman be­ cause Sherman would not truckle to him. “As to Meade, the injustice is still more striking. Had Lee won tbe battle of Get­ tysburg tho Confederacy would hove been invincible. Lee has been severely cen­ sured by military critics for pushing into this tight. It was a Napoleonic movement worthy of the great commander who mode it. Les realized that the Confederacy with its limited resources must triumph soon if it triumphed at all. He failed, but failed through no fault of his own. Meade laid plans for his battle superbly, and calcu­ lated the result from the start. Hancock was bis right arm, but the man who di­ rected tbe ruinous work of the artillery was Henry J. Hunt. “Meade died almost unknown, anjl Hunt is now only n retired Colonel.

He was a fearful .dd drunkard, too, and used to go to town about every other dny, ataiting home late io the evening, and always abooaing tbe railroad track. Being an old man. and not able.to stand big dome of liquor, he often fell down on the track and went to sleep. Time and again our boys Mopped their trains on discovering old Potter ahead, and. of oourae, saved Ida life every time thev did it. *<ie winter's night in 1874 Dave Thompson—he's now superin­ tendent at Lincoln, bnt he was then a freight conductor—One night Dave was running an extra cattle train from Lowell, and as they reached the top of •he hill going down to Sutton. Dave was in the engine cab and he said: "Keep a sharp lookout for old Potter If he’s on Jet’s give him a scare.” "Pretty soon the engineer sighted a dilapidated form on the track, aud de­ clared that it waa the old man. ‘Whis­ tle for brakes,’ said Thompson, but let her run pretty free, and we’ll shake the old man up a little.’ The boys all entered into the spirit of tbe matter. Their purpose was to run th v iocojiofire’s nose right into the old man and rouse him without hurting him, with the idea of giving bitu a good scare. But the weight of the train and thd grade proved pretty bad things to calculate to so tine a point, and when tbe locomotive reached tbe old man the boys all had their hearts in their throats aud a ..feeling that they were little better than murderers. They jumped down, expecting to tied Potter all mashed to pieces, bnt there ha was under tbe engine, snug up against the fire box, wnere he had been rolled and pushed along on tbe snow for two or three rods.

THE TENDER-HEARTED TYRANT. Some twenty years, ago, when John A. EllaierwaamaSagerof-che Academy of music iu Cleveland, there was a man connected with the stock company in the capacity of heavy villain, who, al though a good actor, had an inordinate fondness for sack, to draw it mildly, which he never did. We will call him DeBudge, which is safer than to give his real name, for he is living yet, we think. At least wit will give ourselves the benefit of a doubt. DeBudge waa a very tender hearted man when full of Ina name. He would weep profusely over any tale of woe, no matter how remote it nrightbe from his own time and environment. He used ro say that he couldn’t hurt a fly, aud he conldu’t when the barkeeper 8ut it in his lemon de, an he generally id. One afternoon when iu his cups DeBudge was discovered weeping as though Lit heart would break. When asked the cause he said he wa* think­ ing how cruel it waa to make the poor Egyptians crow the Red sm in pursuit of the Israelites without firn supplying them with life-preservers., *■ You can gather from theidhure what kiud'of a heavy villain De Budge was when loaded to the guards. One night wbeu tho plsy was "Wil­ liam Tell,” De Budge was cast for the tyrant, Gealer, an equally heavy but more temperate villain appearing as the hero of Switzerland. w De Budge had been budging pretty heavily during tbeafternoon, and when he came to the dressing-room to dress for his part n was observed th at he was full. However he managed to pull through very well until they came to the acene where Tell ia commanded to shoot the apple from his child’s head. Ferocious monster!" exclaimed Tell. ‘‘Make a father murder his own child”’ De B idgo’s cltin began to quiter, but he m .naged to stammer: ' D d-does be consent *" Tell—"with his own hand! Murder his child with liis own l ned !** Da Budge's eves filled with tears, and it was evident to those who knew him that be would soon begin to blubber. Tell—tbe baud I’ve led him when au infant boy! "Tis too much for flesh and blood to bear." "Tbaab sbo,” blabbered De Budge. "Don’t shoot. Tell ! Don’t shoot! I know jesh bow you feel.” The prompter cursed at tho wing and tried to set nitu rignt, but Tell, hoping that the paroxysm would paw, over, went ngbt on with bis part: "Sir, bare you no children f” This gave tbe finishing blow to De Bodge. He shrieked: "Yes, I have. Bill—two spied’ boys ! I iove’m—hie—likeor life’s. Don' sb— sb—hie—oot, Bill, don’t sh-h-oot!" And he stumbled forward, attempt­ ing to throw himself into Tell’s arms that he might weep upon his breast. It is hardly necessary to state that De Budge was dragged oft and the cur. tain rung down. _____________ iw?d.

News is very plenty this week, which accounts for our ten columns of local items. There was a dog tight on Main street Monday, two of our prominent citizens hare had valuable hens die, and—and—0, lota of things like that.

The first new wheat was brought in­ to this market on Tuesday, by Jesse Downs, who marketed it at Wolcott, Smith A Co.’a elevator. H. A. Leedy waa in with some at about tbe same time, which was sold to Overholt A Reynolds. Seventy cents was the open­ ing price. Nearly a thousand bushels ot the new cereal have already been marketed, and despite the light yield the berry is plump and solid, and what has been marketed so far is exception­ ally clean. Two old gentlemen were deeply en­ grossed playing checkers in front of A. L. Rasey’s barber shop last Saturday evening, and quite a number of by­ standers were interested onlookers. At the close of the game, which was a very closely contested one, the defeated player remarked to the victor: "You only beat me by the skin of your teeth.” at which a 5-year-old standing near caused a roar to go up by innocently inquiring "How could he when he ain’t got any teeth!” "Billy” Smith tells big stories some­ times, but he tells them in such an honest way that you can’t help but be­ lieve them. His latest, and about bis toughest one is to the effect that he has a hen that is twenty-nine years old, which he keeps because she is a good setter, and because he is too tender­ hearted to kill her.

The following letter, addressed to the[CHICAGO COHKEBPONPENCE.] For the part two weeks the fight tor the League pennant has L>een narrowing down to the three present leaders in the race, De­ troit, Chicago and Boston, and the pros­ pects for last seaton's great struggle be­ tween Detroit and tho White Blockings be­ ing fought over again are improving with almost each day that passes. No one seems more strongly convinced than President Spalding that such will be the result, and when asked Saturday how he thought it would all end, he said: “Nothing* that I know of now can stop us. We shall win the pennant in a gallop if oar men continue to play the ball they are playing now, and even though we should meet with misfortune of any kind, such as the disabling of oar players, post­ poned games through unfavorable weath­ er, or any of the other ills a ball club is heir to, we shall, I think, beat Boston and good second place, We usually have a pretty fair share of luck, however, and by the 15th day of August I expect to see Anson’s men in tbe lead. I predicted before the team returned to Chicago on Juno 9 that, before it . left on its next Eastern trip, we should be in second place. You ace that the pre­ diction ha.'t been verified. As for Detroit, the team is playing a strong and winning game jtut at present. It may continue to do so. As you see by the result of last week’s games, however, the team is not too strong to lie beaten by New York. There is an dement of grit pud nerve in the New York team that one cannot help admiring, and if they should steadily improve from now until the mil of the season, it would not surprise me in the leant. On the con­ trary, I rather anticipate that such will be tho case." “Is there any prospect that the Associa­ tion or League will consolidate this fall; that Indianapolis will drop out; or, that in the event of tbe failure of the two big or­ ganizations to become one, that the St. Louis Browns will be admitted to the League circuit?" “Well, it is as yet a little early to discuss such matters, and yet I am free to confess that 1 have thought of all of them. In the first place, tho matter of consolidation is in exactly the same state it has been in for six months past save that tbe demonstrated superiority of the St. Louis and Baltimore clubs hav made it pretty clearly apparent, that they are out of their class in tbe association. At no time since the matter of consolidation has been consid­ ered or proposed has the time for it been so propitious. I can not say on the whole, though, that I am as anxious for it as many newspaper correspondents have rep­ resented me to be. Tho League is without question the greatest athletic aud amuse­ ment organization of ita kind Id the world to-day. Look where you will and find any organization if you can, with aggregate salary lists of $300,000 a year, and ex­ penses of fully three-quarters of a million. Point out any enterprise that can draw 158,000 people to ita performances in a single day, aud I will grant that it is a greater organization than tbe National League of American Ball Clubs. There is no comparison that I can see between the Le ague and the Association. “Would the League make or$-concessions to Von der A he, such as the privilege of playing Sunday games, or of selling liquor upon his own grounds, in the event of his being admitted?" “No, sir; not a concession of any kind. If Mr. Von der Ahc wants to enter the League circuit next year, be may bq able, in the event of the unanimous agreement of the League Prwiients, to do so, but if he comes in he must do so under exactly tbe same rules that govern ns all, and no others.” TUB GOOD EFFECT OF NENCE.

But there w another side to the question, and I am not ashamed lo tliscan it. There is u mon in our team unon whom this new order of Bring has worked a wonderful change. A home that was not as happy m it should have been because of overindul­ ge uce has been conjpletelv reorganized, and on what 1 beUeve to be an enduring basis. A more overjoyed little lady than this ployer s wife is not to be found in this city. They are saving money, and were never before so contented. If the result of tbe temperance plan bad been only to reform this player 1 should have been quite satisfied. But it has had other splendid result*. We have young men in tbe dubmere boys, eome of them-who take as much pride in their temperance record os they do in their ball-playing record. That is snyiug a good deal, but it is only the truth, and I know what I am talking about. When I asked the Lore not to drink anything until tbe dose of the season, and they promised mo that they wouldn’t, I said we should adopt any plan we thought best to discover whether they were keeping their pledge* to us. It gives me a good deni of satisfaction to say that no man nas violated bis pledge.

He was always a handsome, pre­ sentable man. and even in those early days, when spcial distinctions were much more observed than now. he had no trouble in persuading the pretty daughter of Com­ modore Morris to mnrry him. Thu old Commodore was wroth when the propo­ sition was made, nnd. like Colonel Cary when George Washington wanted to marry beautiful Mary Caiy. her father informed tho lover that his gtfl had higher aspirations. In spite of th. t ommodore's swearing and blustering, though, tiis daugh­ ter was obstinate, aud became Mrs. Cor­ coran. Allot w ard. when poverty had redneed the Morris family. Mr. Corcoran bad an. opportunity of repaying the debt by supporting them all comfortably. But. meanwhile, tho old Commodore bad fonn4 out that the ■shoemaker's son was no ordi­ nary man. In time tho banking hous-> of Co coran A Briggs wax established, but it was not until the loan necessitated by the Mexican war was taken up by the bouse that it came promiently before the public. Then Mr. Corcoran foresaw that he would become one of the richest men in America. He was even then noted for bis public and private chanties, but he had not arranged the vast schemes of beiiovolence winch have occupied bis later years. He had but one child. Loui-e Corcoran, a b uutiful aud interesting girl, in whom he was quite bound up. She married Mr. Eustis, of South Caro­ lina, then a voting member of the House. IL-r married life was very happy, but she did not live many years. He bad already designed great charities, but after that he seemed to pursue them with greater order. He established the Louise Home for Impoverished Gentle­ women, and upon a plan that shows Low perfectly he understood ti e art of giving. No restriction exists for these unfortunate ladies. They may go and come nt will, spending mouths or years with their ftimilies, ba* e their friends with them in ill­ ness—the homo is truly a home, which is always ready tn welcome them. Not only every comfort, but every luxury fa provided for them in tho handsome bnildiug with the large grounds on Massachusetts ave­ nue, in tho most desirable quarter of tho town. Mr. Corcoran know that the depriva­ tion of accustomed refinements Lite in life would be bird upon women gentlv nurtured; therefore everything, linen.chins, glass, and furniture was" dainty and elegnut. They were to be at no expense of any kind ex­ cept for tLoJr clothes, nnd Mr. Corcoran made it hi* bittiness to find out those who they were suitably and handsomely clad. He desired, as far »s possible, to relieve them ot tbe sense of being paupers, and by bus treatment of them actually placed them upon a distinguished footing. Tho aristocratic prejudices of the inmules are the subject ot much sly joking, but Mr. Corcoran merely smiled st this. He wanted to reach a claa. most difficult to get-nt— gentlewomen, noor but proud—and he did so, humoring their harmless notions. He spoke of them as bin guests, and on New Year's Day his first call wus always paid them. Tho gratitude and affection of these old ladies was most touching. He enjoyed, as thev did, the quaint pretense that he was their gnest for tho time. His birthday was invariably spent with them also. Unlike many generous rich men, who, in giving, tike one line of benevolence to the «zclusion of all others, Mr. Corcoran was truly catholic in his gifts. Tho Cor­ coran gallery, wnich possesses many sa|>erb works of art of the bed foreign aud American painters and sculptor*', is liber­ ally provided for.

He was a genuine friend to Washington enterprises. Any entertainment that promised fairly he was cestipn to ba a subscriber to, and was thus of great and substantial benefit to the city.

Vaughn made his way without interrup­ tion to lhe house of Mr. Lazenbnry. within eafy vicinity to Brentwood, his objective point. Here he left his horse, and. mounted upon an old, broken-down, one-eyed mare, without saddle, and using a blind-bridle with rope rains, and having btfore him an old plow-share, be approached the Federal picket and asked permwsion to go to tbe shop, within the lines, "to have his plow ’ sharpened.” Permission being granted. Vaughn rode up to the shop and di«oovered at once, to his great relief, that the smith, an old scquamtauce, did uot recognize him. Of course, the arrival of a “clod-hopper" in their midst promised some diversion to the bovs in camp, and they soon gathered around. While Vaughn was a cool head, not at all liable to get rattled, he felt the neces­ sity for being very discreet in not appear­ ing “too groen,*"nor to know too much, but- contented himself for tbe present with paying but little heed to the numerous ban­ ters to “trade his outfit,"or to take a "quar­ ter" for bis beast, etc., etc., and devoting hi* time to giving instruction* to lhe black­ smith u to what he wanted done to his "old plow, now ao near worn out.' Concluding that there was no fan to be had with the "country bumpkin," tbe boy* left him to seek amusement elsewhere. Having wound hi* way through the camp, a target for t’e witticisms of tho boys, Vaughn reached lhe shop just as tbe blacksmith had finished tho pl^w, and iu time to ask several question* and to re­ ceive answers thereto, before interrupted by the appearance of a garrulous kid—just the matet lai for Vaughn to manipulate to the best advantage. In a short time Vaughn had obtained all the information needed, and felt satisfied that, in his statements, the fellow had rather overestimated the force in the comp: also, that no other force waa nearer than Nashville or Franklin to Brentwood. Vaughn, pretty well satisfied with his gleanings, paid tae smith for resetting the plow, mounted his “old mar,” and started back to recover his own steed, which was hid in the brush to the rear of Lazenbuxy'* house. As he approached the “Granny White," or middle franklin pike, Vaughn remem­ bered a “shaky bridge," which spanned a ■mall creek, or branch, that intenected his path. This bridge was floored with small saplings, and had been covered with earth, whereby to prevent the foot of an animal slipping through space* between tbe saplings. However, not apprehend­ ing much danger, the nder urged his beast upon the bridge, where ouo of the small sapling* broke, thus permitting the mare s fore lout to pass through. Uf course the mare struggled to release herself from tbe trap,, threw Vaughn over her head into the mire, and, finally, broke ber Leg above the knee. Vaughn wm a humane man, and felt in­ clined to put an end to the animal's suffer­ ings. and would hare done so if the means had been al hand- but of co ares he had letl hi* pa ol* in a hollow log near to where bis own mare wm concealed. So, with the aid of a stout pole, he suc­ ceeded in rescuing tbe animal from her cruel confinement; and then, retiring to the btuhe«,be divested bimaelf uf clothing, nnd begun tha task ot tubbing aud scraping off the mod, with they were plenlttully smeared. While thus employed Vaughn was alarmed at tbe approach of a body of troops who escorted a "forage train;" and ha thought it safe fn escape unseen, if possible. But, in changing position, tbe fugitive attracted the attention of parties who were on tee wateb. aud who gave immediatechase—and who, finding they were about to be distanced, fired several shots in quiek succession. Bat the musket shots and the shouts, “Holt! holt!” served only to ac­ celerate Vaughn’s flight; and, instead of pursuing a direct course, he wisely kept within lhe friendly shelter of ths under­ growth and timber until he reached one of Whi pUtt*UK °°l ftoiQ tlie Gfanuy Here, feeling himself safe from fur^er pur*nit, Vangbn determined to remain until night, aud then to continue his jour­ ney toward tbe south bonk of Big Harpeth. For several hour* he rested and slept serenely until about dark, when he was awakened by drops of rain falling in his face. Thu* aroused, Vaughn started across the hills, and kept a direct co ante until after crossing to the west side of the turnpike. Here he halted, undetermined whether to take a dirt road around its base or to go directly over lhe hill. As time wm valuable, and considering tbe possibility of encountering a picket cn the road, he concluded to taka the shorter and probably the safer route. At the foot of the trill, Vaughu cut a stout staff with which to expedite tbe as.-ect. which he found quite difficult on account of the many small stones which covered the surface of the ground. He knew that a cluster ot beech trees, on (he summit of the bill, would afford shelter Vnuuhu *as disguxted to hear a voice utter: “Ii’- raining like b—1, ain’t it. Lieutenant.-'’ "Ye*.

Mexican Street Railwar Customs. Another amusing oddity is that the street’ cars -run in groups, one car never seen alone, nor two together, but always three or four in a row less than half a block apart, writes Fannie B. Ward from the City of Mexico. In­ stead of starting from the terminus one every five or ten minutes, several are started at once every half hour. To run each car it requires two con­ ductors besides the driver, and also in many places two or three. soldiers armed cap-ji-piai The first conductor approaches a passenger, sells him a ticket and pockets the money, and soon the second conductor comes along and takes up the bit of printed paste-board; meanwhile the brass-buttoned guardians of the peace stand glowering upon you with suspi­ cious eyes and loaded carbines. In some respects this double-conductor system is better than the “punch in the presence of the passenjaire” mode of the United States; but though the soldiers have been provided to insure the safety of pa.isengers from robbers and revolutionists, a timid person is more worried bv their presence than by the possible dangers they are sup­ posed to avert. There are always first, second and third class cars. The coaches of the first and second class are made in New York, and are similar to those used in tliat city; while the third-class cars, manufactured In Mexico, look more like cabooses used on freight trains than anything else with which we are familiar. First-class fares are some­ times as high as 50 cents, though ofttimes a mudio (6j cents), according to the length of the line; and. though there is little difference between rid­ ing first or second-class, except in the character of the company, the secondclass fares are usually just half as much as first-class, and the ttiird-class one-third. The drivers are compelled by law to carry horns and to blow them when­ ever a crossing is approached, keeping up a perfect- pandemonium in populous quarters. Family Jars in Japan. Generally speaking, the Japanese men make kind and affectionate hus­ bands, and the women make virtuous and exemplary wives and mothers; and the children are certainly the happiest little imps in the world. Their parents fondle and spoil them most effectually, and at the same time never lose their control over them. The non-irritating nature of the native diet has much to do with such serene nerves and tem­ peraments. One never sees a child whipped in Japan; a reproving mother may administer a mild slap over the head, which correction invariably brings the little recalcitrants to order. The husband has absolute control over the person of his wife; at the same time one never sees a man strike a woman in Japan; yet there is consid­ erable pinching ami slappin^done on occasions when those strange and un­ governable spells of exasperating ug­ liness known as tantrums settle down upon their matrimonial horizon. On these occasions there is considerable free hitting, biting and scratching in­ dulged in on both sides of the house; but the greater strength of the hus­ band invariably leaves him master of the situation, and the belligerent household speedily resumes its serene and happy course. On such occasions, unless physical force was resorted to, it would be difllcult to sa; where mat­ ters would end, for the women are very childish, and in their paroxysms of fury might speedily* demolish the household, unless restrained. These family jars are not of frequent occur­ rence, but they make up in intensity for their rarity.—Brooklyn Magazine. Grand Rapid* Lv Middleville........ Hasting*.............. Nashville. ..

There was a time, not many years ago, when the sun might shine and shine with all its might, and yet leave no scientific record of its presence be­ yond the effect of mere heat shown by the thermometer. Nowadays all this is changed, and there are scattered over various portions of the country instruments which catch every gleam of bright sunlight and write it down indelibly, so timt looking at the picture presented we may see at a glance whether such and such a day was really fine or cloudy. The contrivance by which this is effected is exceedingly simple, consisting as it does of noth­ ing more than a solid glass ball set on a pedestal with a surrounding frame in which to place at a suitable angle a little strip of blue card board, where the effect is seen in a scorched patch of more or less distinctness. As the relative position of the sun changes the scorch changes too, so tliat at the end of a bright sunny day the picture on the card consists of a long scorched line. By measuring this line we get a record of the number of hours’ sun­ shine prevalent during the day. The instrument, although commeqlably simple, has one great drawback. If tiie brilliancy of the sun’s rays be shrouded even to a very small extent by mist or by a thin veil of cirrns cloud, the heat produced is insufficient to produce a burn on the card.—Jtfaiicharttr Examiner.

CQ 0 The 12-year-old son of a prominent citizen was noticed out in a yard in the rear of one of our saloons the other day, making desperate efforts to draw the stale beer out of a keg which had been thrown out. He had a long straw, which did not seem to fill the bill, but he finally got it arranged in such a manner ns to quench his thirst. A large number of Nashvilleitcs were at HautingsSaturday afternoon to take in the trotting races at the fair ground, and were rewarded by seeing A. J. Hardy’s “Buckskin" win the free-for^dl. taking three straight heats. The second heat was made in 2.48 on a very alow track, and the time would probab­ ly have been better still if the heat bad been closer. _______ The half-mile track at the driving park has been surveyed the past week and work is going right along in the matter of making a track. The course is a full half-mile, very level, and with a nominal sum expended upon it it can be made as good a track as there is in the state. The newly-elected officers of the association are A. J. Hardy, president; C. M. Putnam, Secretary; Theo. C. Downing, treasurer. Cd 2 o u MS % 5s .a3 o Ph o Iz ft Rer.

A prayer rose to his lips as with pallid face he jumped and grabbed one of the shooters and found them to be candy ones, but a'good imitation. The supreme court has completely knocked in the head the claim of the receiver of the defunct Kent, Barry & Ionia Union Mutual insurance company and declares that all policy-holders whose policies were cancelled prior to the commencement of the winding up of the affaire of the company by the in­ CD — surance commissioners in the fall of 1885 cannot be held tor any assessments made since that time, and that all judgments on such assessments amount­ ing to less than $100 can lie reversed into a judgment against said company for costs of suit. W. D.

Tho clock was indicating almost noon when Sharp was almost carried into the court-roonp Hi* suffering wife and son-in­ law were close behind him, auji deep lines of weariness and sorrow overspread their faces as they seated themselves beside the convicted man -and fanned his livid face without bringing anythtaq like a semblance of color back to it. Sharp sat with clasped hands and bowed head at the foot of the table, facirg the bench. His face, almos'. buried in his chest, was flushed and sickly looking under the riv­ eted gaze of all present, who weie silently staring at the convicted railroad -king. Mrs. sharp and the rest of the family, like the prisoner himself, were silent. There was applanse iu the court-room when -Judge Barrett delivered the sentence, and outside the announcement was greet­ ed with cheers. Sharp's lawyer moved for n new trial, but it was denied. The Court, in ]/ronounctag sentence, said the task he had to perform was the most delicate in his whois Inofensional career. He had received many etters from many people, pleading for mercy for Sharp. But a court was not appointed to be merciful any more than was dictated by the laws of justice. “A judge is appointed to award penalty accord ng to the offense, when all the circumstances connected with the commission of tbo offense have been duly weighed and considered. The de­ fendant herein asking for merev can give nothing as a plea for clemency but age and sickness. On the merits of the case he certainly is entitled to none. It is absurd to state that he was not guilty of giving the bribes, as he was unmistakably the leader of the whole affair. There is not here, ns in the case of the aidermen. any attempt to prove the defendant's good character. The crime itself was on enormous one—the raising of ?500,003 to corrupt half a legis­ lature." Judge Barrett reviewed the corrupt ac­ tion of the defendant in forming a bogus company to contract with the Seventh Av­ enue Railway, of which he is a director, and alluded to the defendant's receiving 81,000,000 ot profit a* sheer lareenv, for which he could have been indicted just as well as for bribery. The Judge continued: “What is there to excite pity or mercy except the age and ill-health ot the pris­ oner and the mourning condition of his family? With over $1,000,000 in his pocket be clamors for mercy without offering to pay back a penny ot the money stolen, so that, should he* die in prison, hi* family ha* a vast fortune to fall back upon.” ' At this Mrs. Sharp buried her face in her handkerchief and went silently, while the prisoner himself did not lift bis face from the table. “The Legislature does not allow us to go below the minimum penalty in such a mve offense as the present is," continued Judge Barrett. "All cannot be satisfied; those who clamor for the prisoner’s receiving the full penalty of the law and those calling for a reprimand. All things have been consid­ ered, and the judgment of this court is that the prisoner be confined four years at hard labor and that he pay a fine of $5,U00." Sharp was sent back to spend the night in Ludlow Street Jail. Application was made to Judge Potter, of the Supreme Court, for a stay of proceeding*. ,T4 0 .UH 5 S 5 CINCINNATI.' Total.

Dress reform has been ackroaledged tiefare now as one of the questions ot the day—of course more particularly for lh*l half of the world's population whom if most concerns. Many and various have been tbo efforts-made to introduce styles of dress which their originators successively claimed to be the only miration of woman; aud each of these readily found adherents, however absurd in themselves. Several la­ dies of title (and wlo should, naturally, be ladies of fashion, also) walk tho streets ot London in divided skirts, or Bloomer costumes—martyrs to their principles, for of course they attract more or less atten­ tion. Now, to being looked nt admiringly, few women object, but to be eyed with cynical, sneering, Uncomplimentary glances—to be regarded as "strongminded"—to be called to tho bar of popu­ lar opinion on the charge of having un­ sexed themselves—those are tilings women cannot and will not brook, no matter how praise worthy may be tho costumes they are invited to don. But if a woman de­ sires to adopt dress-reform in its best fea­ tarcs, the public need, really, bo none the wiser. Tea-gowns in diaphanous summer ma­ terials more than hold their own.

General Hancock never ’-understood why he should be held re­ sponsible for that unhappy exec Jtion— asVcruel a spectacle as ever stained the escutcheon of a nation. President Johnson was wholly responsible for it. Not once, but many time*, did my hus­ band urge upon the President unan­ swerable reanons for granting a pardon. He would reply that he could not, that , the execution was demanded by many ’ prominent men of his party, and a por­ tion of his cabinet were aa'nncomproming as the other. The question has many times been asked and remains unanswered: “Why did General Han­ cock consider it necessary to be pres­ ent at tho execution ?d For the im­ portant reason that Miss Surratt had gone to the President at the last mo­ ment bv his advice to plead for a par­ don of her mother, and it was hoped up to the last moment that a reprive would come. The fact necessitated his presence at the arsenal to receive it from the couriers, stationed at inter­ vals along the line from the White House to the arsenal, in order that if the President relented and granted ft reprieve not a moment would be lost in reaching him. -To hold-General Han­ cock responsible for the death of Mrs. Surratt was ubsUrd.

Re­ covering from the tough deal they experi­ enced at Washington, Anson's men last week entered upon a brilliant series with Mutrie’s giants upon the polo grounds. Last Saturday’s game was particularly noticeable for the brilliancy of the crowd of spectators as well as for the .magnificent playing of the White Stockings. There ware 10,000 persons within jhe inclosure, and among those who sat in the grand stand was Miss Helen Dauvray the actress, in a drew of white fluffy material. Marie Jansen was there, too, and so was the eccentric DeWolf Hopper. Half an hour tiefore the gam? commenced, Gov. David B.

The to­ tal for the year ending last March was nearly 42.000,000 bushels, of which the united kingdom took a little leas than 484 per cent. and Italy nearly 23J-per cent. This year, from Jan. 1 to June 35 the ex ports were nearly 18,000,000 bush­ els. Nor is this all. The Indian gov­ ernment are at present opening up a wheat district of 400 miles square, with railways, which would very largely add to the wheat-exporting ability of the "empire. The wheat produced in this district is of the best quality. This new factor threatens our supremacy in tiie export ot wheat. Indeed, it is stated that in a few years the united kingdom will, to a large extent, be releivcd from dependence on any other country save India for the wheat she The present drought is a bitter blow to the fanners of Michigan and other portions ot tliedry section.

George E. Pickett, ot the Confederate army, If he had been living. Her blstoiy make* the affair doubly romantic, for she waa married to Gen. Pickett on the 15U1 of Septcmlier,. 1863, only two month* and a half after tbe great anti decisive battle, and though but 15 year* old, accompanied her husband to the camp and re­ mained with or near him during ipoC of his subsequent service*. At the capture of Peters­ burg she waa exposed to considerable danger, Irelng under tire; and when the war ended rhe accompanied her husband to Canada, as IL waa then supposed that he and other prominent Confederate would be indicted. In their exile they were reduced to poverty, and when Mrs. Pickett applied for a position as a teacher she amination so creditably that she secured the place. After a little while, however, they diacoveral that the United States was as safe for the General as (Janada, and they returned, first to New York city and then to Virginia. Mrs. Lasalle Corbell. as her maiden name was, was bom at Cbuekatuck, NamremoudC'o., Virginia, in 1848, and Is, therefore, a very young woman. Her son George accompanied her to the reunion and was the object of much inter­ eat. The survivors of Pickett's division were : the guests there of the Philadelphia brigade, and the two joined In a fraternal handshake on the spot at which Pickett’s uten penetrated Into tbe Union lines. They then passed In re­ view before her and one by one took her by the hand. A very interesting relic produced, and one which she values highly, was a letter writ­ ten to her by Gen. Pickett ic the short interval between receiving the order for the charge and tbe signal, while his division lay in line. He died at Norfork some twelve yean ago. An­ other valuable relic is a gold watch his mother presented to him while a cadet at West Point, with the first money she earned by translating. Mrs. Pickett had thia watch Cleaned and In­ scribed with a list of the battles in Mexico and the civil war in which he bad taken part; This she again presented to him on her wedding an­ niversary In 1967. On the outside of the case she bad the Confederate aud Union flags cross each other, as an expression of trust in a thor­ oughly restored Union. She has lived to ace it, lived to see tbe most complete reconciliation that ever took place tietween th* opposing par­ ties in a civil war; and with only the average longevity she may well live to see tbe time when the young citizens of our common coun­ try will look back upon the war as a healthy man looks upon some severe sickness of bis childhood.

Toliis employer ho al tray a spoko good English, and to any one else with a broad Scotch accent—probably a whim of his. Ho wai not a hnmbomu man nor ona of imposing mien; quite the contrary. But a few mlnulee' conversation with him on business soon proved to any wo:ild-besbarpfl that they had no fool to trade with; they usually found out he waa a crafty Htahtauder who well understood what be waa after himself. and alao what they might be driving at as well The proprietor of tho flower store toon became cognizant of tbe fact that he had a hard cuatomer to drive a bargain with; but, being anxious to sell out, be was obliged, after two hours' hard dickering over it— daring which time Sandy picked numerous bits of informat bn from him relative to the business—to come to Sandy’s terms. Sandy returned in half an hour with the ready cash and a sign-painter. He waa a bandy jack-at-all-tradM, and bo sat down and drew up tho bill of sale himself—all tbe while wondering if the bnsineaa would pay. and pay sufficiently well for him to keep an eye on tbe little Scotch landlady he had met that morning, with the idea of sometime Baling her to share its profits with him. He had been a hot-homo gardener in tbe old country and understood tbe culture of flowers, and be thought the Rolling of them would be a secondary consideration. Althofffch the store was not yet bis, be had a feeling of pride and satisfaction in reading his name; : ALEXANDER MePHEltSON. : : moinsT. : in largo gilt loltora on the window as he easoa it that evening on his way to call on iss Insley—and tbe little landlady; for bo hud no notion ot calling on Miss Insley without making some excuse to ace the only woman he had found time to admire dur­ ing the many yean ho had knocked around the world. Reaching tbe house be rang the bell, then brushed some imaginary specks of dust off his broadcloth suit while waiting. As be was engaged in giving an extra polish to his silk hat with a handkerchief, the door opened, and ho was caught iu tho act by tho hndlady, who smiled her welcome as she invited him into her little private parlor. . Sandy, after much hesitation and stam­ mering, told her he had just bought out tho business of a well-known florist on Four­ teenth street; and, being in need of a trust­ worthy saleswoman, a friend of Miss Inslay had suggested she was a likely person for the place, and- perhaps would be glad of tho chance to fill it if the salary was suf­ ficient. He wound up by a few common-place questions hero and there, by which means he ascertained what salary Mrs. Campbell thought the-girl could get along comfort­ ably with, and if sho thought her capable for the position. Finally he produced n huge bouquet that he had brought with him and presented it to the little Scotch landlady, saying: “I bn made so bauld, sayin' ye air a kentrv woman o' my ain." This so delighted her that she opened up a vivacious conversation about life in the old country, eta, which luted until almost nine o'clock, when Sandy suddenly remem­ bered that if he was going to see Mfss Insley that evening perhaps she had bettor be called down stairs then. When Mrs. Campbell left tho room to call Marie, Sandy gave vent to a noueleza whistle, and thought to himself ne had started a bee in tbe little woman's bonnet sooner than he antici]«t*'d; and he com­ mented. with a shrug of his shoulders and a chuckle, that sho «u "noo ue bud lukin* ayther." Mrs. Campbell soon returned with Marie, and as they camo into the room together Sandy quite made up his mind that ho had never seen two prettier-looking ladies at any one time before in his life. He looked Marie over with a swift glance, and shrewdly calculated that her pretty face would soon attract enough custom to quickly repay the loan from his employer. He wondered what could be tbo reason of his employer's sndden interest in her. Evidently he had never seen her to speak -with. Sandy mentally compared her to a beautiful apparition, and truly she was beautiful an she sat there in the full light of tbe chandelier, backed by tho old gold and cardinal window drapery. She wu plainly attirea. Her neat gray merino dress showed signs here and there of careful mending; but ebe was endowed by nature with personal beauty that re­ quired no fine garments to increase its loveliness, and no artificial means to add to its attractiveness. Her deep-chestnut hair wm smoothed bock from her broad full When Howard Thorndike awoke in the snoruing the sun was full three hours high. After enjoying bis lute breakfast and at­ tending to his correspondence he asked of Ilin valet if he had anything to any to him. “Yes, sir," was the concise reply. “Well. Sandy, tell me what it is." **I called nt the addrefis and made inquiry of the landlady, Mrs. Campbell, who told me all that ahe'knew. That was very little, •air. She said the mother of the young Jadirs is the widow of a sen captain; that ■she hired two rooms on the top floor last May. and has occupied them until tbe 'present time.-.*They are very quiet people, axpobtruaive, mind their own businciw, and refuse all invitations to mingle with the rest of tbo lodgers evenings in the parlor. "Both of the young ladies sing, and one r plays tho guitar. “The youngest is a cripple,and has some­ thing the matter with her spice. Tho moth­ er, who was forewoman at Koch &■ Co.'s dressmaking establishment, was lately taken sick, and is now unable to work! Tho young lady obtained employment some­ where as a sfcger—in an opera troupe, the landlady thought—and has supported her mother and sister since the first week the another was taken sick. Before that time the crippled sister was never left alone, one of them always remaining in when the other went out Now the mother is con­ fined to her bed, aud when the oldest daughter, Miss Marie, goes out there is no one to wait on either mother or daughter, and neither one Is able to help the other. “The young lady paid the room rents in advance last night, and, as she did so, asked the landlady if it was possible for her to lower the rent, for the sickness of her mother and sister made it quite bard tor her to get along with what was left after paying the rent Mrs. Campbell eaid she agreed to reduce, it a little, but she eould see by the look on the girl's countenance that it was not enough, and she thought the girl would have a struggle to meet the next payment. The girl looked distressed, ■and Mrs. Campbell thinks it may be she has lost her |ilace, although the girl said nothing about it. The family have received but one caller during tbe time they have lived in tho house. Tho proprietor of the store in which Mrs. Insley has been em­ ployed called two mornings after she was taken iiL They are evidently genteel Kple in reduced circumstances, sir, and i. Campbell says she sympathizes with them greatly, for she has been through hard struggles herself.” “That was all you could find out, was tt?" queviioned Mr. Thorndike, with a smile. “It wm all Mrs. Campbell knew, sir. ’ “Did she know where they camo from when they first hired rooms of her?” “1 beg pardon, sir; I forgot to ask. * “Never mind; we will find that out later. "Where do they board? Evidently, not in .the house." “1 should judge, from Mrs. Campbell's •remarks, that they kept house in the two room-, sir." “Is that florist's window on Fourteenth street, that you inquired about the other ■ day. still for sale?" “Yes, sir; I saw the sign in tho window vthis morning." “■Go and buy it in your own name and •put up a Sign.

Sixteenth Ilknote, with the Majors of the regiments, started out on a scout looking for seme rebels near Kirksville, Missouri. After a dusty ride in wagons the party stopped for supper. The scarcity of ra­ tions wm noticed, and the fact that green corn was ripe for table use was the occasion for a supply from the fields near, as well os some vegetables from the garden*. Every one was soon eating a very good supper. Ever* one? No. There was one, an officer t Major Stone, of the Third Iowa , who solemnly said, with some very emphatic words, that he wonld not eat any­ thing that was “jaynawked.” “confiscated." “stolen.” He was cordially invited to dine with the boys of the Illinois company, but be was of tho op.nion that all the food taken bv both companies was stolen, und declined. To . provide fpr himself, ho went to a bou^e near by aud asked a young lady to bake him some cornbread. She soon had tbe bread ready for the table. And here came in tbe terr.ble appetite of those fel­ lows, who still refuse to confess. Not hav­ ing tasted cornbread for sixty days, they laid a diabolical plot to get a taste of that “pone." Tbe bread was placed on a table :near the window. Two or three,soldiers were loafing around out-ide, and while tbe young lady was out after milk the bread was slipped out of tbe window, and tbe trio went behind tbe smoke-house and ate the Major's supper.

Two women came before a mandarin m China, each of them protesting that she was the mother of a little child they hud brought with them. They'were so ■ . ' t ,i i ,-u positive thattho mandarin waa anrrly puzzled. He retired to con­ sult with his wife who was a wise and clever woman, whose opinion was held in great repute in tbe neighborhood. She requested five minutes in.which to deliberate. At tbe eud of that time •be spoke : "Let tbe servant catch me a large fish in the river, aud let it~be brought to me hero alive.” This was done. "Bring me now tho infant, but leave the women in tbe outer chamber,” she said. This was done, too. Theo the man­ darin’s wife caused th© baby to be un­ dressed, and itaclothes put on tbe large fish. "Carry the creature outside now. and throw it into the river hi tho sight of the two women.” The servant obeyed her orders, fling­ ing th© fish into the water, where it rolled about and struggled, disgusted, no doubt, by the wrapping iu which it was swaddled. , Without a moment’s paifte on© of th© mothers threw herself into tbe river with a shriek. She must rescue her drowning child. "Without doubt she is the true moth­ er,” she declared ; and the mandarin’s wife demanded that she should be res­ cued. and tho child given to her. Tho mandarin nodded his head and thought his wife the wisest woman in the Flow­ ery Kingdom. In tbe meantime the false mother bad crept awav. She was found out in her impostiro; and the mandarin’s wife forgot all about her in tbe occupation of donning the little oue in the bent silk she could find m her wardrobe. . Senator Joe Blackburn of Kentucky, says that a year in New York properly spent will transform any specimea of rusticity into at least the outward re­ semblance of a gentleman. "Let me illustrate,” Ire continued:' "I was stumping some years ago in Kentucky, and at ft hotel which was crowded had to take in ax a bedfellow an old ac­ quaintance. He wa* a good fellow, but characterized by rusticity. The next morning when f awoke, he was gone, but on raising up in bed 1 saw him sit­ tine by the window carefully examin­ ing the collar-band of my shirt. He did not move a muscle until I spoke and asked him what his perturbation was caused by. Then he said : ‘Joe, is tb'a* your shirtf “Yes, wlmt’s the mat­ ter with it?’ ‘Joe. I've been looking at that button on the back of your collar­ band for half an hour, trying to make out wh;it on earth it’s therefor.’ ‘Why, it’s to hold raj- collar down behind.' He, like the Kentuckians of th© conntry districts, lind a shirt with a collar attached. ‘Joe,’said he,‘I knew you" could rustle with the best of them on the stump, but 1 never knew yon was a dandv. A button on-tbe back of your shirt! Now, two years ago I met a man dre.ssed in the most ultra of fash­ ionable apparel, a marvelous and glist­ ening collar, and a bewildering scarf. 1 hesitated. ‘What, don’t you know me Joe? I’m Jim.’ It was. indeed, him who, a few years before, didn’t know what a button was sewed on a shirt­ band for. But he’d been in New York four years, nnd if New York can refine him ft can anybody.” Yes, it ia rather warm, but we must take tbe weather as it comes.

A puzzle to tho ethnologist is pre­ sented in the fast-expiring race which were the true predecessors of the Jap­ anese all over the Japanese Archipela­ go. The dawn of hiatory shows tha Ainos living fax to tho south and west of their present haunts; and e/er ainoe than, century by centnrv, we see them retreating eastward and northward m steadily as the American Indian has re­ treated westward under the pressure of tho colonists fiom Europe. Their numbers are gn wing smaller decade by decade; their industries are passing into Ju panose hands; the animals which were their principal sustenance are rap­ idly becoming extinct; the survivors of this people almost all speak Japanese as well as their own tongue, and are losing their special characteristics. The race is now no more than a “curio" to the philologist and to the ethnolo­ gist. It has no future, because it has no root in the past. The impression left on the mind after a sojourn among the Ainos is that of a profound melan­ choly, The existence of this race haa been as aimless, as fruitless, as is the perpetual dashing of the breakers on tho shore of Horobetau.

[CHICAGO CORRESPONDENCE.] At this wri.-ing the seemingly irresist­ ible forces under . Captain Anson are fighting what it is expected will be the decisive point in the championship race 'hgainst Detroit. The first atttack was made by tho White Stockings last Saturday, aud resulted in the complete routing of the Riverine contingent, the score stand­ ing B to 4 at the finish. Three more games ore to be played—two scheduled and a postponed—aud one of two re­ sults seems inevitable. Either Chicago will return home from its second East­ ern trip leading the balance of tho League dubs in the pennant race, or else it will be nearer the top of the list than it has yet been this yaar. The last tour of the Detroit team has tK-eu anything but satisfactory.in its results to Detroiters. When they returned lo their headquarters lari week they received anything but a flat- . tering reception. Tbo meteoric drop of the club, a change from winning everything to losing everything, has been as remarka­ ble iu its way as tho advance of the Cuicago team from sixth to second place. Out of the last ten games played—three in New York, three in Philadelphia, three in Washington, and the one on Saturday, in Detroit—Detroit has won just one game, aud that not the game with Chicago. The once great sluggers seem now to be the in­ valids of the League. -• Strange diamonds, unfriendly crowds, change of water and diet, passing sleep­ less nights on railway trains during the warm weather, and various other excuses have been'offered for the poor succesa achieved/ Buttart Saturday settled all. Chicago whipped the heavy batters on their own grounds, and tho hope that baa been nurtured in the bosom offc every fol­ lower ot the club has slowly deponed. Tho chances of winning the fieunaut are growing less and less, and if the Wolver­ ines do not get out of the present tut they will soon bo passed by Chicago, Boston and New York. The While Stockings return home on Thursday of this week, and will*meet the Bostons for a series of three games, after which we are .to cross bate, with Washing­ ton. New York, Philadelphia nnd Detroit successively before departing again for our lari Eastern trip of the season. THE-week's 8KN.HATIONS. The week just past baa not been without its sensations in the base-ball world, tho first of these was the bold bid of President Nimick, of tho Piitaourgh Base-ball Club, for War'd, of New York. He wired Presi­ dent J. B. Day, of the New York Club, to the effect that Pit.sburgh would give *5,000 for the famous Johnny or make a trade. Such plucky enteqiriso ia some­ thing remarkable at this stage of the sea­ son, and caused considerable talk among lovers of the game everywhere when it became known. President Day, of the New York Club, refused to entertain any proposition, however, forWard’s purchase. NEW YORK'S COVNTKH-OFFER. No sooner bad Nimick's offer for Ward, and Day's refusal thereof grown cold, than an announcement was made to the ellect that the New York Club had pur­ chased Morris, the clever left-handed pitcher of the Pittsburg team. Negotia­ tions were really entered into and so far completed that Manager Mutrie, of the “Giants,” went to Pittsburg to pay over the purchase money and secure the play­ er’s contract. The result of the trans­ action, however, may be seen in tb? fol­ lowing dispatch from Pittsburg, which IT" INTERNAL REVENUE. Interesting Figures from the Report of CommlssioBer Joseph 8. Miller. The Total Ool'eyJons for ths Lart Fisoxl Year Amounted to One Hundred nnd Eighteen Million Dollars. . The Hoe. Joseph 8. Miller, Commis­ sioner of Internal Revenue, has sub­ mitted to Secretary Fairchild a preliminary report of the operations of that service during tbe fiscal year ended June 30, .1B87, from which the following facts and figures are taken: The total collections from all sources of internal revenue for the fiscal year just ended wtre *11H.833,757, which amount has been accounted for and covered into the Treasury. This is •1/J32.IM8 more than the collections for the previous fiscal year. The cost of collec­ tion to be paid out ot appropriations made to tbe Revenue Bureau for the fiscal year ended June 30,1B87. was about *4,075,000. In order to ascertain the exact cost of col­ lection it will be necessary to add tbo fore­ going sum to the amount expended for tho printing of internal revenue stamps, the appropriation for that purpose for tho year ended June 30, 1887, having been included in the sum appropriated for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Tho amount ex­ tended for this purpose will be stated in a subsequent report. During the year the offices of the several Collectors of Internal Revenue have been examined as frequently as possible, and the reports received of these examinaliomi indicate a very generally satisfactory con­ dition of tho internal revenue service throughout the country. The receipts from the different objects of taxation as com­ pared with receipts for ths previous year were as follows: Spirits, **^,823,322, a dscraose of. *3,2C2,M4. Tobacco, *30,108,067, an increase of *2.200,700. Fer­ mented liquors, *21,022,187, an increase of *2,245,456. Oleomargarine, *723,048, all increase. Banks and bankers, *4,288, all increase; miscellaneous, *247,945, an increase of *21,435. The quantities of dis­ tilled spirits, fsrtnentod liquors, manufac­ tured tobacco, snuff, cigars, and cigarettes, ou which tax was paid during tbe year were os follows: Spirits distilled from grapes, apples, and peaches, 1,211,532 gallons, a decrease of 344,462. Spirits dis­ tilled from other materials, 66,163,859 gal­ lons, a decrease of 3,126,502. Number of cigars, 3,788,305,443, an increase of 277,­ 437,455, Number of cigarettes, 1,584,505,­ 200, an increase of 273,543,850. Snuff, 6,561,875 pounds, an increase of 395,826. Tobacco, 199,937,648 pounds, an increase of 14,511,455. Fermented liquors, 23,121,­ 526 barrels, an increase of 2,410,593 bar­ rels. The above figures indicate a decrease in the consumption of spirituous liquors and a corresponding increase in the consump­ tion of malt liquors.

His salary was very materially increased when he signed in the spring, the amount being $3,2OU, which, witu tho exception of that received by Badbourne, is the highest salary paid any league pitcher.

In an open sunny space, in Hampden Park, not far from the road, standing among the thick grass, we see two hand­ some birds as large as our ordinary poultry. They are pbeasontH, and do not appear to be tn tho least disturbed at seeing ug. They probably know that no one will be allowed to harm them except in the game neuon, which will not arrive for several mouths. The laws regarding gamo are very strict in England, and even >n the shooting Benson no ono who does not "preserve game, as tbe rearing and care of it is here called, is allowed to kill a rabbit, a part­ ridge, or a pheasant, even on his own prop­ erty. All such panic is considered to be­ long to thoee persons in the neighborhood who have “preserves."

Fortunately for them, they fell in with an honest m in, who took a great liking to Harry and <’barley, nnd who willingly consented to their accompanying his party. They had been out for dare, making their wny over almost impassable walls of rock, through canyon* nnd gnlchfs. in search of one of the vnllers or pocket* where surface geld was principally found in those days. One day Andy Carter, tbo leader, was badly hurt by a fall, and it was boou seen that he must'be left behind and some one must stay to care for him. Not a sight of tbe precious metal had been seen, and our bays were weary and disheartened. They at once volunteered to Star, he being the only one in the party that had troubled to be kind to tho lad«. They wore journeying up a broad canyon when the accident happened, and tbe first side ravine was explored for a suitable Slaoe for a camn. It was soon fonnd, a ny valley n half mile away, with water ana small underbrush that would do for fuel. Tbo whole party, some twentr-two. pro­ ceeded thither a: once, carefully carrying the wounded man. Tho "sugar bowl," tho boys nt once dubbed it, and no other name would so well describe ita shape. There wns perhaps n quarter of an acre of tend, inclosed by a high wall of rock; no outlet save the nar­ row ravine, through which they had entered. A fine spring bubbled and boiled from the rock upon one side, danced and sung across tho valley, then disap|>earod iu un openinc in the wall of rock upon the other. I pon three sides tbe rock was smooth, with scarce a footing for a bird, bnt upon the fourth it sloped gradually upward, ai^d was covered with n dense growth of stunted vines. Near the spring a tent was pitched for Andy, nnd tho party robbed themselves of blankets to make him comfortable. Then leaving a generous supply of ammunition nnd provisions, tbe party went on their way, and none of them were seen again by our party for years. Andy'looked blue when he saw the last ono disappear, and turned himself labori­ ously on his blanket bed. , "Well, boys, we are in for it; I'm afraid you will be sorry you stayed. There’s neither gold or glory'to be gained here." “Who knows!" cried Charley, gaily strik­ ing his spade into the earth, “we may be standing upon a mine now." Andy laughed heartily, and hoped it wca so. “But, boys, tho first thing to do is (o de­ cide who is boss of thi* arsenal, and be glanced smilingly at tbeir supplies piled near. “You. of course," cried the boys in con­ cert. “All right," he rep’ied. “Then I move that yon both search the wnU air about for a sheltered spot to store our goods. We ■re to;> far from town to make it easy to procure more, if these get dam iged;” ’ “All right," came cheerily, and tho search began. The round wa» almost made, with no discovery, and a feeling of disappointment was beginning to be felt by the boys, when a sho.it from Harry, who was slightly in advance, proclaimed the desired find. “Hurrah! here it is!" Aud he drew aside a curtain of vines and branches of the tine, revealing a deep cavity—not a cave y any means, but a hollow deep enough for the purj»oBo. Il was very near the tent, too. vhiob pleased Andy, as be said hn could keep gparik while the boys were absent, giving as his opinion tliat neither would be con­ tent to lie idle long. Such a thought had not occurred to the bore, and they shook tbeir beads, but events proved the elder man’s judgment to be correct.

Cornwall Tin. Dolcoath is tho name by which the oldest and the deepest tin mine in the world is known. It is situated at Cam­ borne, in tbe west of Cornwall. In the early part of tbe present century it was noted for ita enormous production of copper ore, the saiea of this mineral haring amounted to about £5.000,000. It now produces tin only. In the inter­ val between copper and tin, about the years lh&3-55, a period in the ainking when tbe two minerals were so blended that they could not be separated so as to make them marketable, the whole mine could have been purchased for £3.000. Tbe market value of tbo same to-day is £470,000 (4,700 shares at £100 each); so that each sum of £50 invested in it thirty yean ago is -now worth £7,000, and receives dividends amounting to about £500 a year! The produce for some two or three years past hM been forty to fifty tons of tin per week, obtained chiefly from one of the eight or tea lodes in die mine. Movable Target*. There is a good deal of talk of rifle shooting at movable targets these days. Most people imagine that, in order to hit anything with a rifle, a man must have a solid rest and take a long aim. Such ia not tbe fact The best rifle shots at game seldom take a rest, ex­ cept at long distances.

Last honor of many—a tomb! The General and the Mutiny. BY JAMES FUANKLIN FJTT8. Everybody hates prefaces; but when a eoldier'iittempts to write upon such n sub­ ject us this, he owes it to the Hundreds of thousands of true soldiers who never fidaxed nor refused duty, to explain that mutiny iu our volunteer army during the war was a thing of rare occurrence, when ii did happen, it was small in size, easily checked, uud produced no lusting results. But that there were exceptions to the rule, and that here and there a body of soldiers did attempt to make themselves superior to military law and subordination, will not be when the General in command over such troops knew how to nut down tho outl-reak with the strong hand that was shown in the case which I am about to describe. Having said so much, I should also say that the facta here related were not person­ ally known to me. The General referred to—William H. Emory, late in command of tbo Nineteenth Army Corps, and now re­ tired, living at on advanced age at Wash­ ington—is well known to mo. I had the honor to serve on his staff in the Shenan­ doah Valley, nnd I, in common with all who were brought near to him by duty, learned to appreciate tbe stuff he was mode of. He was a Colonel in the regulars, a West-Pointer, and had seen much service before tbo war of the rebellion-begun. He looked, and talked, and acted like an old Boman. He was stern or gentle, as occa­ sion required; in short, a very original character, and a type of soldier of our old army that is rapidly itasaiug away. Should some scoffer doubt the truth of tho store, 1 request him io write to Dr. Charles W. Crary, Lake City. Minnesota. During McClellan's Peninsular campaign General Emory commanded a brigade in that army, and Dr. Crary, a medical officer iu the same campaign, learned the fnets at the time, and pos-ibly witnessed the thrill­ ing scene. In IMKi my regiment was serv­ ing in Lohidaaa. General Emory was then high in command there, and Dr. Crary was transferred t> ua at an Assistant Sur­ geon. It was not long after tfle Doctor joined u« that he repeated thia story to me; and it is so characteristic of the General (aud I so highly esteem the Doctor as a truthful gentleman as well as a good medi­ cal man) that I never doubted it. Those who do are at liberty to write to him. It was a good regiment It had already proved its gallantry in battle. The whole brigade was astounded when it refu>ed duty. But it afterward appeared that tbe causes of its discontent had been lurking and growing for months. What was stranger still about it was tho fact that the mutiny was planned and matured in secret, with­ out tbe knowledge or suspicion of a single commissioned officer or first sergeant. Tbe blow was struck one morning at reveille roll-call. Tbe muskets had been stacked in regimental line tbe night before, ni tbe clone of a l ot day's march, and cov­ ered with rubber blankets to protect them from dew. At reveille the first sergeanta went out to call the roll of the companies. When it wm finished, they gave the order to take arms. Not a man obeyed. Tbe orderlies stormed and cx;x>atulated. They were quietly informed by seme of tbe ances of the regiment were redressed' i The orderlies want to the Captains. The arms. Not a man stirred. ' Things were getting decidedly serious. Tbe Captains wont in a body to the Colonel, and reported to him the condition of things. - Refuse date, do they?" bo said. “Wall, I don I know what's tbo trouble between you and we'll see about this." Tbe Colonel was brave and manly, and the men resp-cted him. He stood before the renter of the line, eommanded atten- The Colonel was excited. He threat. and yourselves in wm at "Who the devil cares what you didn't know? There never was a mutiny yet but the officers were to blame for it. Go back aud smnbls all your commissioned offi­ cers and first sergeants in rear of your line. I will come over in ten minutest The Colonel departed; tbo General called up his staff, dispatched them in dif­ ferent directions, and thou mounted his horse and rode oier to the mutinous regi­ ment. The officers and tho orderlies were al­ ready drawn up iu three lines. Tho Gen­ eral addressed each and every man in this fashion: “Colonel Blank, do you refuse duty?” "No, sir." “Lieutenant Colonel Blank, do you re­ fuse duty?" “No,'sir.” “Major Blank, do yon refuse duty?” “No, sir." So it went, right down through ■di grades, to the Orderly Sargeant of Com­ pany K. A grim smile of satisfaction appeared under the heavy mustache. “Til end thia thing now in short order," he raid. “Follow me, and stand behind mo while I talk to them." The mutinous regiment was still in line behind tbe stacks, standing and lying about at ease. The General took his place in front of tha center, with tho officers and sergeants behind him. He commanded "Attention!” nnd every man was on bis feet iu an instant, in tha position of the soldier. Meantime, some alarming things had happened. Another infantry regiment of the brigade hnd marched up and formed line in front of tbe mutineers. A light battery galloped in on each flank, unlim­ bered, and got their gnus into position. Two of tbe General's aids were observed going about among these troo|is. The mutineers beard tbe order: “Load nt will —load!" They heard rammers springing in the barrels of the muskets, nnd the clicking of hundreds of hammers,.as the gun* were capped. They heard tbe orders of the batt-rv captains: “Load with grape andcanisteri” They began to see that they were in a decidedly tight place. “Now, men of the ------ Regiment," the General vociferated, “this thing ha< gone far enough. Either you or tho United Sta*ee will give in; I think it will be vou. If you have any grievances, I will bear them by aud by, and you shall have justice; that 1 proprise you. but I make no terms, nor conditions. I want obedience, and by — I’ll have it! I’ll give you just one order; if you don't obey it, I retire behind these troops with your officers, and you'll be blown to hell m a second! I say it! you know me! Now—take—arms!" His order was like a thunderclap. The order was obeyed as if by machinery. The stacks were broken; the piuskets were taken: the line stood at shouldered arms. And then the veteran General almost broke down. “Stack them again, Colonel," ho said. “I'll talk to them in o moment”• When the arms were stacked again, tho General pissed along the front and talked to tha soldiers in a familiar way. He told them that discipline was the b ginning and the end ot the soldier's life: that unques­ tioning obedisn -e was his first rule; that they had the right to complain of abuses, and should have done so in this case. “I will have ju-tice done you. I would have seen to your complaint had it reached me; hut never try to right your wrongs in this way. You disgrace yourselves as soldiers, you cast discredit on your comrades, and the power of the government is sure to crush you." Some of the men were moved to tears; all were deeply affected. The lessons ot the morning were not exhausted until the General had summoned the officers to his headquarters, and given them such a lecture on their duties in caring fortheir men as they who know “the old m.in” can best appreciate. The regiment was heard of afterward. This w.m the only questionable episode in its career. Fields of glory and of blood attested its devotion to the cause. Sawed by Packages. What apparently trifling circumstances have often saved men's lives in bailies! Tbe followiug stories 1 have heard related repeatedly by eye-witnesses of remarkable escapes: One tells: “One time, while I was looking at iny wife's picture, the order came to march double-quick to the opposite side of a bill, where the enemy were to be met aud routed. The picture was in an ivory case, end 1 alwavs carried it iu a pocket I had made for that purpose. But this time, in my hurry to lull into line, without.think­ ing what 1 was doing. I thrust it into my le.t bren«t pocket. Dnnng the progress of the battls I was struck twice. Once I, thought my time had come, fur directly over my heart I felt a stinging sensation and a faintness come oier mo. But I ral­ lied and did not faint On examination I found that two balls had struck the ivory case, badly damaging it. one of which must have come obliquely from tho right, as it glanced along f e riba and passed out un­ der my left arm." I had a package of letters I always car­ ried in my left breast pocket, says Sergeant Jones, of the Twelfth Wisconsin; once, when I wss performing a little "soout duty" on my own account, I ran into “ ousiness."

After Sherman cut loose from Atlanta on his march to the sea. the different de­ tachments of his troops concentrated at Chattanooga and along tho railroad to Dal­ ton. They organized into divisions pro­ visionally. aud were shipped in a hurry for Nashville, Tennessee, without rations. I was orderly of a provisional division com­ manded by Colonel Malloy, and, ns wo neared Murfreesboro, the Colonel told me to try and raise tb<<n something to eat. There was a great number of trains there, aud we expected Hood's troops or Lyon's cavalry to make a dush at any time upon some of them. The trains were close togetter, and when one stopped they »11 stopped, for wood and water. The engines we kept stopping for a little ways south of Murfreesboro, which gave me a chance to get off and go ahead into town, where I was joined by two others on the aame business. Wo hunted the town of Murfreesboro all oven but if any one had eatables they were bidden away, and as a last resource we applied to the negroes for information. Thev told us the town had got everything at famine prices, but there was yet some bread in the Evernment bakery. They doubted our ing able to get anv. nnd showed u« where it wee, that we might try.

Professor Proctor not long ago showed quite plainly that tho ball could be curved, and the reason for it, but a more convincing test, and one which atm not on paper, wm made a few years ago. after an Ohio mathe­ matician nad asserted in print that a ball could not be curved out of a straight course without first touching some object between the point of start and the point of finish. The base-ball players were not m skilled in figures M this great mathematician, but they know it could be\loDe and was done every day. But he had the best of the ball-players, m the public backed him up. finally a test was made on a neighboring ball ground, and the man of figures was worsted. It wm tbe first test ever made for this purpose, and has gone down on the record of scien­ tific works. The test was made aud fulfilled nnder the following condi­ tions : Two fences five feet high and seven feet long were placed in line with each other and some distance apart A third nnd intermediate fence was placed at right angles to the other two fences and about midway between them, m shown in-tho following pictnrd: Cahker. * Pitcher. THE FIBRT TE8» EVF.B MADE. The pitcher and catcher stood at their respective fences. 1 he sole object of the fences was to prevent the pitcher from giving his arm an outward swing, and to compel the catcher to receive the ball only after it .had finished ita curve. On the first two efforts the boll struck tho intervening fence, but by this time the pitcher had learned his distances, aud each time after that the ball made a clean curve. Even after this many refused to be­ lieve that the ball could be curved, and to-day there are many people who will say that it con not be bone. It can be done. Tho only question is how. Of course those wbo make their living by ball playing will find little interest in an article which tells them what they already know, but there are thousands who Mpire to become ball­ players who will find thi« of interest. The great curves of to-day are shown in the following cut: level with the shoulder. In this curve, when tbe ball ia relraaed. the palm of tbe hand is turned exactly toward the left, with the fingers snfflcwntly doted around the bail to give it the required rapidity of rotatory motion. Tbe ball is releMed wuilo the hand is in this Esition. This curve can be greatly proved by cat -hing hold of the seam of the bull with the ends of the first three fingers before throwing it. Thia curve is. perhaps, tho easiest one to acquire. Very often, a beginner ran throw a good in-curve the first time he tries. In a high in-curve tho hand pMses above the head with an overhand mo­ tion. Tho “Only" Nolan wm probably the first pitcher to use the down-curve, and ho met with remarkable success. In throwing a down-curve the ball is held in the same manner as for the in-curve. An underhand throw is generally used for this curve. When tho ball is re­ leased tho hand is held pointing direct­ ly toward the home base, with the palm turned upward, allowing the ball to roll off the tips of the fingers. This curve is to-day one of the most decept­ ive in use, on account of the inclination of tho ball to drop anywhere but at the right place. STATIONS. Grand RaplilsLv MkHlcvilfe Hartintr*............

This is the most difficult curve to pitch, and bnt few ever become perfect m it Ev­ ery one knows that the ball is likely to curve downward, and in order to over­ come th s downward tendency great swiftness must be used to get sufficient resistance from the atmosphere. In pitching an up-enrve the balris held in the same manner as for an out-curve. Tbe hand is thrown forward and down­ ward with a quick jerk. As the hand goes downward it should pass the knee, and go at leMt a foot to the front Juicy of it before the ball is released.

MEATS! OLD RELIABLE MARKEt H. ROE. AMD OVT-CUBVES PA88IXG THE HOME BASE. In explaining these curves Mr. E. J. Pringle savs that the picture repre­ sents two kinds, an in-curve and an ont-curve, aud there are two methods for using each of them. One is to start the ball in a direct line for the home base and the curve will carry it to the loft ot the base; another is to start the ball in a direct line for the batsman aud let the ball curve over the plate. The latter curve, however, is not safe unless tho pitebbr has a good command of the ball. The in-curve is much the best, provided the pitcher is expert enough to use it. The in-curve and out-curve are probobi v the easiest of the pitcher’s carves, while the drop ball and the rise bail are the hardest The different curves now in u«e were di-u-ove.ed by different persons, but all pitchers are now per­ fect in them. Arthur Cummings was undoubtedly tbe flr».t tu discover the out-enrre when ho pitch* d for the Stars of Brook­ lyn back in L*6X It was then that he suddenly found that he euuld strike out baesmen when he pleased, and ho also no.-'ced tho ball curve: bnt why he did not know • himself.

Major Pinkerton, of the ------ Indiana, relates some of the most amusing, aa well as tbe most pathetic, war stories. He tells of a “full-blooded Yankee" from “nay down East,” who was a genius in his ec­ centric way. A pompous old Confederate claimed the protection of tbe United States troops. A guard was accordingly famished LnZ by Uncle Sam. The old fellow bad, among other things he required guarded, a patch cality. One ball grazed my shoulder, an­ of very nice swe.-t potatoes.

When the ball is released tbe palm of tlie band must be turned exactly upward, tbe first two fingers pointing as near straight as possible. . When tho ball is thrown it can be released either by drawing the thumb back or by turning it over to the right and si lowing the ball to roll around the side of the forefinger, and not off the tip.

There are always two sides to a story and as Messer Bros, of Hastings have aired themselves through the llastiugs papers with regard to my connections with the Milwaukee Binder, I deem it no more than fair to give the public my side of the story : Some time in May last while at Hast­ ing R. B. Messer persuaded me to sign an order for a Milwaukee. Jr., binder, under the understanding that I was not bound to take the machine, but should have the privilege of trying any other machine that 1 wanted to and the ma­ chine that suited ine best I should have the privilege of buying. Mr. Messer further stating that by putting a ma­ chine in mv neighborhood he could sell others, and I should have a commission of five dollais for every machine sold. He sa d lie would Lave a machine ou hand in a week and was to let me know as soon as it arrived. I was to bring it out to my place and he agreed to send a man to set it up, which he failed to do. ) On the 5th day of July Chef Messer and e man from Milwaukee, with my­ self, started the binder at 8:55 in the morning on a 14 acre field (which the Champion binder cut the year before in one day) and at noon we Bad not gone once around the field. They worked all the afternoon till supper time and quit and went home, Mr. Messer saying he was going to send to Grand Rapids the crown ­ after a smooth knife, as tlje one be was using wouldn’t work, and if it wouldn’t work he didn’t want me to have the machine. I guess that my big wheat was "too much oak sticks” for the Milwakek. There was no trial of binders on my farm as stated by Messer Bros., but thev brought along eight or ten men and a constable to condemn one fanner and I was forced against my(will to ac­ cept the machine; but the Hastings ed­ itor wasn't sharp enough co get me to sign his paper. The Milwaukee man admitted at my supper table that there was something the matter with the ma­ chine, but the Messer Bros, explained this by saying that th is man didn’t know enough to come in when it rained.

In the course of Mr. Walker's speech ha denounced Wren as ‘the most contomptiblc swindler of tho gang,' and as a ‘perjurer.’ Wren jumped to his foot and called Walker a liar, repeating the term sev­ erer times, while Walker reiterated his char­ acterization of tho big boodlcr as * perjurer.

In the opinion of nine out of ten Chicagoan* nothing short of the collapse of the team can prevent the White Stockings from winning the pennant again this season. This is a most grab tying change in tho drift of public opinion and sentiment, for not more than six weeks ago an indignant public in this city was freely expressing ils disgust at the policy of President Spald­ ing mid CapL Anson in releasing what was looked upon as tbe most valuable men in the team, and thus ruining the chances of tbe city for oven a decent atauding in this year's race. Messrs. Anson and Spalding, however, builded wiser than the public knew, with the resnll tbat Chicago has probably the most capable ball team to­ day that it ever had. The race thus far hm been a desperate struggle from the start. With such strong clubs a* Pittsburg, Philadelphia, New York, Bos­ ton, nnd Detroit ahead ot him, Anson's task to pilot his own nine to ths top was thought to be too great for the famous captain to accomplish. But ho has done it, thanks to his o^vn matchless guidance and the wonderful playing of his men. and to-day ho stands the same excellent chance of winning the flag os ho did at this time last year. The spurt made by the Chica|te* is without n parallel iu the history of the league. It is a record such os will prob­ ably not be made again in years. Letter* of a congratulatory nature have been pouring in upon Anson from all section* of the country for more than n month past, and there seems not to be a sign remaining ot the condemnatory nnd critical spirit that existed everywhere against Anson and the' club al the outset of tbe season. EAST UBK&TY on ter decided that he had no sired permission.

As for Boston, the team next to Chicago in the race, there seems to be something between ils players and winning ball which even the influence of the great and only Kelly can not dispel. It seems to be peculiarly unfortunate away from home. When the boys from tho Hub came West early in the summer Kelly got Io badly crippled that he could not play. Several other meml>ers of the tean# were suftering from injuries. The boys bad not been away from home two days on the present trip when Hornung was taken ill uud l.tul to be left in New York. Kelly is now doubled up with cramps, and isVearvely able to play. With kelly and Hornung out of condition, tht.e isn't much left iu the Boston team to whip. The club will be in great luck if it regains the grounded haw lost during the post week. THE OTHKK CM llK. It would be well for everybody to keep an eye on Philudelpbia and New York. These cluba nrc not so very far tiehind. and. what is moie interesting, ihev are playing stronger ball as tbe acajou advance*. One or both of these clnl.w sz! cnu«e acme trouble, Gf the tail-endeiB Pittabur.'h has been plating tb« better ball during the Kt week. Tue fielding of this team Las n very flue all sesson, but they arc still lamentably weak with the stick. If th s clnbhivl bad a half-dozen good batters at the beginning of the season it would have a bund in the fight to->lay. Indianaj ol.s and Washington are showing a marked improvement iu playing strength, th" Eastern club in particular playing some of the greatest ball recorded this year. A great many people seem to have made up t eir minds that Detroit i* going to take a very big tumble in the race. One Cbica o paper in p irticular e\presses tbe opinion that it will be la-aten out by Chicago. Boston, and New York, and that even Philadelphia will give it a tough lassie before the season ends. Id tbe opinion of tour correspondent this is a mistaken idea. In the face ot all this sort of predictions that have been made for a month past, Detroit has gone right along playing good bull, defeating the League's best teams, and staying at the top of tbe string in the race, and the probabilities would, to od unprejudiced mind, seem to point to ita continuing as it is unless Chicago alone among oil the oth* r cluba can overtake it. During the post week the management of the Wolverine* has spent no less than $3.00? in securing new players, a fact which proves more conclusively than any­ thing else that tbe club intends staying in the League for not only the present season but so many more a* it chooses. The three men aecured in the latest deals are good ones. Gruber, the successful pitcher of the Hartford (Conn.i Club, was the first one signed, and he bus been tried and has given satisfaction. The others are Beatin and Kinslow, the crack bstierv of tho Allentown (Pa. I Club, and if rec­ ords count for anything they will prove valuable additions to the nine. With tho new material thus secured tbe club has a great deal more material than i« needed, and it is but natural to suppose that some of thoee wbo are considered tbe least use­ ful will be allowed to go.

In 1817 ho was Auditor of the Nunciature of Madrid. After some years we find.him in Borne, Prefect of Btttdie* in the Pontifical Lyceum of the Roman Seminary and Apostolic Participant. For many years he was Secretary of the Con­ gregation of the Propa anda, and as Consuiter be belongs to the Holy Roman and Universal Inquisition, to the propaganda for affairs of tbe Oriental Rite, to the Council far the revision of Provincial Councils and for extraordinary ecclesias­ tical affairs.

A machine, has been brought out for ■cutting up old timber into firewood, and tying it in bundles ready for sale. It consists essentially of a choppingknifo _Mc:uatetl like a mortise chisel.

They pass out of the machine ,nto n box. which, by agita­ tion. settles them into the smallest bulk. They are then formed into bundles by mechanical means, com­ pressed, and bound by wire.

The Trial of Aaron Burr. Immediately upon tho close of his office as Vice' President. Burr started on an expedition to tho Mississippi Valley, to work ui> among the people ot that locality his scheme for estab­ . linking nn independent republic west of the Mississippi. He found a number of citizens and some Government offi­ cials ready to fall iu with his plans, nnd there seems little doubt that for a time James Wilkinson, General-in­ Chief of the army and Governor of Louisiana Territory, was inclined fa­ vorably toward the:scheme. Probably this was ■because he was not aware of its extent and enormity nt firslTTor later ho made every effort to thwart the plan, and it was through his infor­ mat on that tho attention of the Gov■ernment was called to Burr’s plans. In November, 1803. Burr was arrested and summoned before a grand jury at Frankfort, Ky., but no bill was found against him, owing to difficulty of pro­ curing witnesses, and he was released, and his friends celebrated his triumph with a grand bait But meanwhile President Jackson had commissioned Graham, the Secretary of the Or­ leans Territory, to investigate the re­ ports about llurr, and immediately afterward he issued a proclamation against “an unlawful scheme set on loot for invading the Spanish domin­ ions." Graham, securing from the Legislatures of Ohio and Kentucky the requisite authority, seized a number of boats on the Muskingum and Ohio Livers which Burr had fitted out for his expedition. Burr, hearing of the e -seizures, made his escape to the west shore of the .Mississippi, but a bodv of militia was sent, under the President's proclamation, to arrest him. Ho had previously had all his esses of arms thrown into the river, and therefore aasnmed the pretense of utter innocence of any hostile intentions, demanding that he and all those with him should be searched, nnd his boats examined for evidence of his revolutionary deaigns. As nothing of the sbrt was found, a strung sentiment in his favor was aroused. He was brought before tho Supreme Court of tho Territory, but the Grand Jury not only refused to bring any indictment against him. but presented charges against tho Governor for call ng out the militia to'arrest him. Burr, now tree, resolved to disband all his followers and leave the country. But before he could accomplish thin he was again arrested. An indictment for high treason was found against him by tbe Grand Jury of the ) -istriot of Virginia. He was charged with levying war, by tbe collection of armed men, ■within the dominion of Virginia.^ He was also charged with concocting a -scheme for tho overthrow of the na­ tional authority in tbe Western States vmd Territories. As there wm not suf­ ficient evidence against him, however, •on this trial, he wm acquitted.—Infer O< ean. * Buying a Cradle.

If you want an economical Furnace and one capable of heating any house easily and that will last a life-time, get a “Fuller & Warren.” Ask Isaac Purkey, Austin Brooks, KocherBros.,- T. C. Downing, or any one who has examined or known anything about the furnace at all. Now as I close I would ask you not to forget Garland Stoves, the finest line now made. Car Loads of Copper Rivets, Rat Traps, Dust Pans, Stove Handles, etc. Times are close and I realize it and will make you good prices. Yours Resp’y, jACjalfc C. L. GLASGOW. WIpoBaic THIS HOT WEATHER?

CHAPTER VL Tbows -were sweet words to Howard Thorndike, the words he heard Marie Xostey utter in her swoon after Mrs. Camp­ bell had left tho room to cel some "cor-dtai:” ”<*. he does not know that I love him He took the liberty of printing a caress on ooe of her tiny hands with his lips when ha had taid her on the sofs. Slowly she opened her eyes; then, giving went to a long sigh, ebe shut them again . «nd shivered. Her Mattered senses gradually camo back ■ to her, and she opened them ngain. A faint flush spread over her face as she oske-l. tn a weakened -voice: “Wtl^you kindly ask Mrs. Campbell to bring me a glass of water?" “Hbo is coming with one herself ia a minute. Miss Insley,” replied Howard. And while be spoke Mrs. Campbell en­ tered the room with a whole tray full of .xcatoratives. After bathing Marie’s forehead with a sponge dipped tn bay rum and giving her a gnas of wine—not forgetting to take one bentelf at the same time, as it bud given her “snch a shock”—Mrs. Campbell arched her .jwettyeyebrows and shook her bewitching tittle widow's cap, wblle a twinkle lurked in the corners of her laughing eyes as she •aid: “You will be all right in n jiffy, dear! Mr. Thorndike will let me know if you are wot. I must go to the kitchen aud see to tbe dinner ar it will be burnt." Whoa eho bad left tbe room Mario spoke to Howard, wfio, for tho first time in his life, felt he ought to say something and -wu ut a Iom for words with which to say 1L ■You must think mo very silly, Mr. Thorndike. I do not know how I came to fiaint. I never did so before. I feel dizzy B I have often wondered how people in a faint; but I am not a whit wiser after my experience." sheaaid, with a faint laugh. “Aly dear Miss Insley," said Howard, os he sat in a chair by the sofa and took her little band in hie. "I have something to say to you, and I scarcely know how to begin." Mario felt that a denouement was forth­ coming, and her little heart fluttered wildly m she endeavored to feel calm against her wilL “I should begin at tho beginning.” she ■aid, demurely, as she looked at the sofa back and niuvely picked nt a button. Howard felt something drop from her hand into his as she sfioke, aud, on looking ■t it, saw it wna tbe diamond ring. “She—she left it," was all the remark Marie ma<!e about it. ‘'Miss Insley, I will not attempt to diaefiso from you that I overboard what she •aid to yon, aud that I am aware of tbe ■cause of your fainting spelt It may be ltd I ’ faithful and tiudworthy while iu my em­ ploy. aud I appreciate it" Howard had agreed to return to Marie’s in the aflernoou to be introduced to Mrs. Insley. and the specified time found him there. He brought with him a noted physi­ cian, a friend of his, that he might aee what waa best to be done for her. After spending some little time with Mr*. Insley, Howard returned to tho parlor with Marte, leaving the doctor alone with tho patient. The doctor joined them shortly after­ ward and asked several questions of Marie relative to her mother. Ho then told How­ ard that it was impossible for hot to be re­ moved then, and that chances wore in every wny against her recovery in either case— whether aho remained whore sho was or was taken South. The crisis was near at hand, and her life was a question of mere­ ly a few weeks nnd days. It wns a physical impossibility for her to live longer. She hud quick consumption, aud tho only won­ der was that she wm still alive after suffer­ ing so long. If she hod any friends it would bo ns well to notify them of her ap­ proaching death. The crippled daughter, bethought, could be greatly benefited by treatment, and eventually regain tbo use of her limbs, al­ though she might never be ns strong and healthy ns she would have been had she never been a sufferer from spinal affliction. What they both needed was the attention of nn experienced nurse, one who understood tho petty contrivances for relieving some of the sufferings of nick folks, and nn-ler whose care tho cripple would surely begin to improve and feel more comfortable. It wna too much of a strain for Marie, and she would be sure to br.-ak down if aho un­ dertook iL Howard instructed the doctor to send a nurse around to the honse as soon as he could, nnd *to take both sufferers under treatment After the doctor bad left Howard walked ! acron* tho room to Marie, who had remoined nt tho further end during hte con- i vernation with tbo doctor, nnd. taking both 1 bands in hia. he asked in n qniet, kind way. , if sho had ever thought of what she should i do if her mother did not recover. i "Y’es >ha mid “and I know fnllv aa I well ..’jou au> Wl’wi. lh.1 >b. ewa I get well. She is dying now. If I can Keep my place al tbo florist’s I can get along after a manner. I cannot say I shall be sorry when she is at rest; ahe suffers so much. I thought, perhapo, the end had come when I was sent for thia morning. It hurts me to see her suffer so, although she is very jiatient and never complains. When she inch ­ ' dies I will try to do the same by her daugh ter as she has done by me. My own motbw. could never have treated me with more kindness or oared for me with more moth­ erly affection." “What! la not Mrs. Insley your mother?" inquired Howard, in surprise. “Why, no, indeed! .

Those that Lad families returned to tbeir desolated Lome*, and by bard work, good management, and untiring industry, finally succeeded in repairing to some extent the ravages of war. The old Southern home which tbey had left but a short time before was destroyed; the old mansion which had l-een tbe home of their ance* ore was gone. All tbat reunined were tho smoldering mins, which told tho talo of destruction. Tbo slaves that they hod owned were emancipated, and, in the eyes of tbe law, \iere tbeir former master*' equal* in many resjx-cts. Some of those that enlisted in the Southern array poMe*s»<1 everythin? requlsite to happiness and contentment— lands, slaves, and money in abund­ ance. They enter- d the service opulent, tearing th er loved ones at home with all tb«t wa« ueoeasary for the comforts and luxury in life. They went into tho nrtuy rich in tUs world ■ good*, snd came out paupers. Their money was worthless, their slaves freed, snd, in some instances, their land* confiscated. It seemed then that there wa* nothing to live for. Houses, lands, andproperty of every de»cri;><ion were swept from u» like chuff before tbe wind. Yet the South­ ern soldier did not repine; he thought no: of tbe past, but looked to the future. He laid aside his faded suit of gray, arrayed hiinsc'f m a suit of homespun, and wen: to work. New bouses wore erected, terms were Improved. coUou factories were built, and soon tbe bum of industry wa* heard throughout all port* of the laud. We are glad to see ibe North und South sbakin? hands acroos the bloody chasm. Godsave us from another sco» saiqn. We want no more family strife-. We wish to see do more aackvd cittes and no more smoldering Am<-1 icon blood abed in ware waged by brother* und kinsmen. Let us fervently pray tbat our country's hirtory may never record another scene like tbe one through happy aa well ns a prosperous wound*. Thank God! tbey are healing rapidly, and. in our bumble opinion, lhe day to not far distant when we shall know M ben Um war f~-l Union. 11 one was | ! t j The following is a story related to mo a few days since by an old “vet": Tho hospital is at its best about as un­ comfortable quarters as a soldier ordinarily finds, for several reaaon*: First, if ho i* in tbe hospital be is unable to be any­ where else, m a rule, which alone is not a very comfortable situation. But, to make a b*d matter worse, if a man is in the hos­ pital, he must take hi* regular “dose," which is dealt out to him by an ignoramus of a physician <?l, without any regard to what hi* disease may be, very much oftener thnn by one skilled in his profession. Such was the ease ia the hospital where I nursed for a while. And the poor suf­ fering boys were saved many a bitter dose that could in no possible way do them any good (except, perhaps by the enervating thought that they would not have to swal­ low iu, and often did much harm. I Lad not the heart nor tbe will to enforce the doctor's aiders when it wm plainly evident that it wm harming lhe poor fellows. One great, strong, capable-looking man when well, John Allen by name, whom the doctors proceunced beyond recovery, liegged hard to be allowed to die m peace. Medicine wm still issued to him, but not a dose of it did I give him after the doctor wa« out of sight. I did all I could to make him comlortabie while Lu might stay with u*. But he did not die, I desire to correct Comrade H. F. An­ drews, Sixteenth Maine. says a Trib­ une correspondent. He claims to have *eeu General Sedgwick hit; that he •aw him taken from hi* horse, nnd heard him utter bi* last word*. General Sedg­ wick was stiuck Irr n ball while on foot, di­ rectly in re.tr of the left of the Fourteenth New Jersey, First Brigade. Third Division. Sixth Corps, and never ulfered one word alter receiving the fatal shot. Our regiment nt that time was support­ ing a section of the First Massachusetts Battery. My company (B) was on tbe left, aud Company G on the right of the two pieces of tbe battery. The earthworks on that point formed nn angle. What regi­ ment joined us on our lert I cannot now ear. but its right was as near to the spot where General Sedgwick fell a* was my company. The words uttered by the la­ mented Sedgwick I can remember os well na though it were but yesterday. About the time General Sedgwick cams toward the front a member of Company G was moving iu a stooping position toward his company, ia tho breastworks. Sedg­ wick, noticing tho comrade, smiled, and playfully raised hi* foot toward ^ho cau­ tious comrade, saying pleasantly and goodhumoredly: " “What are you dodging for? They can­ not hit an elephant that for." Just os our noble and beloved old com­ mander uttered these word* ho received the fatal shot, and fell not more than twentyfive feet from our rear. I heard a stray the other day about th* late Delegate Haymond, of Dakota, who died early in tbe year, which is quite ro­ mantic. He was the last man to see Gen­ eral McPherson alive at tbo battle of At­ lanta. He was just in the act of delivering a message to the General when tho party of Confederate horsemen came upon them, and McPbereon wa* shot down and Ray­ mond was taken prisoner nnd sent to An­ dersonville. After he had been there a year or so there was an exchange of pris­ oners, and the whole body of men in the prison were aisembi«d in fine to bear read the list of (how who were to be exchanged. Those whose imme* were icad were or­ dered to answer “Here" cud step forward. YThen tbe officer in charge was going over tho roster he called out the name of one who had died the night before.

He was exchanged under the name ot hi* dead comrade, returned North, and re-entered the ermy. Tho survivors of tbe Eighth Illinois Cavalry will hold a reunion at the Sherman House, Chicago.

Thajury filed in at one door and the defendantsat another. The buzz and crush of about fifty newspaper meu, who at once swarmed, to the front, created some confusion (or a moment. About fifty other*, mostly detectivee and bailiffs end }>eraonal friends of' the defendants or jurors, stood up outsidethe railing. Bailiff Cahill rapped for order when the jury came filing in and were Mated, nndi Judge Jamieson at once began proceed­ ing*. “Call the jury, Mr. Clerk** wav his curt order, and the same old form wm repeatedfor the last time. "Are all the defendants present in canrV Mr. Sheriff?” was tho next question. y Mr. Matson was there behind the back of -y chairs to answer “Yes." ' < Turning to the jury, the Judge asked: “Gentlemen, have you agreed upon your verdict?" Ona or two of them answered “Yea” ia kn undertone, while Mr. A. L. Brown, thoforeman, rose in his place wi h the formal answer, “Wo hare, your Honor," nnd band­ ed the document over to Bailiff Cahill, who in turn pawed it up to Clerk Leo. Mr. Leospread out the document—a sheet of fools­ cap—and began- reading slowly and dis­ tinctly: “We, the jury, find tno defendants^ Adam Ochs, etc." There was a desth-liko•ilence in the room until the name of Buck McCarthy wa* reached—“fl,000 fine"— and then there was a faint attempt at ap­ plause from somebody in the rear of the court-room. At the conclusion of tho* reading there was another attempt at ap­ plause which wav promptly squelched by »■ rap from the Judge and a rnab by the bail­ iffs and policemen gathered there. Directly after the verdict was announced each one of the defendantswM asked what he thought about it. As the replies werebrief they are given in full: Casselman—It is something I didn't ex­ pect. Leyden—I’ve got nothing to say. Oliver—I’m so much surprised that I don’t know what I do think about it. Wren—I think the verdict is an outrage. Wasserman—I do not care to express an­ opinion now. McCarthy—I haven’t much to aay, but come to mo in the morning and perhaps 1'11give you someihing worth printing. Ochs—I don’t care to rty a <br<L . Van Pelt—I can live through the tworears, and when I get baek here I will live long enough to get even with the-------------who have worked so hard to put me in this hole. Varnell—I don’t think anything about the verdict at all. I can’t think. • McClanghry—I ain’t -saying nothing. I ain’t going to express no opinion. Goij*—The verdict is a ('.^appointment to me, but it is no more than I might have expected. Lawyer Sullivan was asked for his opin­ ion of the verdict. Ho said: “I do not think, the testimony justified buy euch verdict,, and my opinion is that we 'will get a new trial. It is one of these unjust verdict®which result from an excited stale of pub­ lic opinion. Now, I don't see how Was­ serman aud Ochs were found guilty with the others for their terms of office expired a year and a half before the indictment was found, and it tfetms unreasonable to* punish them. Nor can I see how McClaugbry is punished with imprisonmentwhen so many otheis were punished by fine.” Mr. Grinnell ( find his assistants went, back to their room after the verdict, wherethey were followed by “Buck” McCarthy and one or two, others. A reporter con­ gratulated McCarthy on his escape. “What ip ------ do you-mean?? asked Buck, with an assumption of dire wrath. “I shouldn’t bay* been fined a goll- larned cent. I say it's an outrage.” “And I’ll say," said Mr. Grinnell, “that r»u should have’got three years, Buck, and. make no bones about saying it, either. I would like to see you in McClaughry’v place and MoClaugbry- in youra. You. should have got the two years and McClaughry should have got the fine—that is, if either of you had to get off with a fine.* Buck then left^he room. “If it hadn't been, for Clark the verdicx would have been all we asked for or couldi possibly get," said Mr.. Grinnell. “How­ ever. we are satisfied under the circum­ stances. This verdict is, of course, im­ measurably better than n disagreement, and a disagreement was the only alterna­ tive." But there is another clan of indictment* wherein the plea would be of no avail. Leyden, Wasserman, McCarthy. Ochs, Wren, Van 1’eit, Hannigan, McClanghry, and Lynn are all indicted jointly with Michael Costello in wbst ore known a> the coal cases.

Tho case wa* given to tho jury at 3 o'clock p. m., Friday, and when they retired tbeir first action was to elect A. L. Brown fore­ man by a unanimous vote. There was very little desultory conversation at firei, ballots being at once prepared on the ques­ tion of guilt or innocence. The first vote on this question resulted 11 to 1 for guilt. One more ballot settled the question of guilt in the case of each defendant, and the matter of the penalty to be affixed came up for consideration. Foreman Brown dis­ couraged general talk on the question and a test ballot was taken. Thia resulted 9 to 3 for three years in the penitentiary—the heaviest punishment that can be imposed under the statute. Tho nine jurors who voted for the extreme penalty were very firm in their convictions, and they labored with the other three earnestly and long. Considerable feeling was demonstrated. At last the fore­ man called for another ballot It resulted the same as the first, but after some more general discussion and debate in groups two of the three who held out for the imposition of a fine upon all eleven defendants were won over. Tho third was taken in hand and argued with for nearly an hoar. This was J. D. Clark. He stoutly maintained that there was not enough testimony of a character that was worthy of consideration to warrant sending any one of tho defend­ ants to tho penitentiary. He was a* ob­ stinate in his opinion ns were the others in theirs that three years in the penitentiary wm too good for all of them. Ho would stand a fine for all of them, but no penitentiary. And this wm just where matters stood when the jmore were in­ formed that the court had reconvened. Finally some of the elevon began to show signs of weakening. They were vary much opposed to a disagreement, and in this Juror Clark agreed with them heartily. Otbera of the eleven became leaa firm, and the first signs of a compromise began to bo apparent. Aa the others weakened Clark grew firmer as to Geils,, Oliver, Cas­ selman, and McCarthy. It began to look as though if they granted him these four his purpose as to the others might bo sbaken. Several were at first very much opposed to a compromise on this line; but thev at last submitted, stipulated for seven for tho penitentiary, and the maximum fine for the other four. Then there was a season of labor with Clark, who thought that two years was enough penitentiary for tho worst of them. Ths suppers had not yet come, and the jurors were getting hungry. Somebody proposed another ballot, which was agreed to. This, to the surprise of some and the delight of all, reaultod in the agreement as read in court The report of the foreman was drafted, and it had no sooner been signed than a bailiff opened the door and inquired if the gentlemen wars ready far their sup- was at St. Catherines, Canada.

The fashion of wearing a waist of entirely different material, and most often of contrasting color, is growing in favor and adop­ tion. A pretty waist wo illustrate is, much used this season in thin goods, while and colored lawns, and particu­ larly adapted for making those numer­ ous and pretty‘pattern drosses which can bo purchased from §1.50 up to §50 per pattern. As will bo seen from these front and back views, tho wider Embroidery is utilized for small plastrons front and back, and tho upper halves of the sleeves cut out of thm-narrower width. This waist is easily laundried when made of wash goods, but it is just as pretty in the popular light woolens of tho season. Very odd and grotesque are the hots which tho milliners have prepared for country-going dames and damsels, allieit most of tho designs are exceed­ ingly pretty as well. Tall, round shajieA are among these.

The bosque is trimmed with a vest and jabotod revers (all, of course, of tho lace itself, as no other material is per­ missible on such a dress', while the skirt portion consists of a square, deep­ ly droned tablier in front, with rather carefully arranged back draperies. The tablier and draperies come so close to the floor all tho way round that but two inches ot any skirt is visible be­ neath. This is, however, of black satin. The popularity of these lace dresses has brought about new and hondsome styles in sleeves. A plain, tight-fitting sleeve was never appro­ priate for lace. The full lace sleeves we il­ lustrate aro at onco ar­ tistic and graceful, especially becoming to thin arms, and add a soft roundness to plump ones. The tight-fitting cuff may be made of silk covered with lace, but it is most often made of velvet or satin only.

Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge, the bril­ liant and popular editor of St.Nicholas, was a young widow before she ever en­ tertained the idea of writing for publi­ cation. The first contribution she ever sent to a magazine was promptly ac­ cepted and there was an instant de­ mand for her sketches. The Princess Louise is a woman of no ordinary nerve and courage. She has steered a canoe through some of the roughest shallows of the Hestigouche and Coscapedia, climbed peril-. ous peaks at dawn to make sketches at sunrise, apd has frequently groomed her own pony upon returning from a ride or a drive. Mbs. Edward Humphreys, a great­ granddaughter of Beniamin Franklin, is one of the heroines of tho beach. She was driving her dog-cart on Long Island and saw three children of Mr. Isham bathing. The oldest one, a girl of 13, suddenly got beyond her depth and sank twice. Mrs. Humphreys jumped from her cart and with all her clothes on jumped into the pond. She succeeded in bringing Miss Isham to the bank.

Ax impression prevails in the minds of some builders that a chimney foun­ dation is a good place to get rid of bats, culls. Bpawls, or other refuse brick, but no impression could be more unwise or injurious to them. A bad foundation is a builder’s worst enemy, and for his own future welfare he should insist upon carefully selecting the stock that goes under ground.

CHAPTER 1 the Burn< ISS TATTIE BRITT, of the Evergreens, sat in soli­ tary state in the middle of the room that waa given wholly over to her own use. The floor was of pine, and •*uncarpeted save by the litter numerous paper wads ' which she was industriously toHsing hither and thither on all aides. The chair she sat U]>on was a common one of wood, with tho back broken ■off. But no queen upon her throne over sat ou tho Neat of state in statelier dignity than did poor, foolish Tattie upon hot broken chair. Describing a wide circle about her chair was a chalk mark, over which no foot save her owa wa* allowed to This charmed circle she called Paradise Court, and horr^sbc sat for hour* tearing the paper wads aud tossing them to on imaginary audience ns messages' from heaven. At her feet lay a pot coon, to which she occasionally addressed terms of endearment and affection. Mio* Tattie lived usually in solitary state in her own apartment. She wm possessed with tho idea that tho Lord had made her of a better material than that which bad entered into the composition of her asso­ ciates, and she insisted upon being treated accordingly. If the walked out—which wa* rarely the case—Dora was permitted to follow at a re nectful distance behind her. Poor Tattie was born “queer"—not ex­ actly foolish, but strange and uncouth. Mrs. Britt had once said, in the bitter­ ness of her heart, that tbe curse of God had been visited on tho child for it* father's sin. The Britt household consisted of the master and mistrees and tbeir daughter Tattie. Ibero waa still another girl about Taitie** age—Dora—who waa said to bo a “poor relation” of Mrs. Britt's. But tho Britts never reckoned on Dora when counting up the family, so wo will follow their example and omit her from' the catalogue. Still, Dora was a not unimportant factor in the Suiot life going on there in tho old house y the manthos. Without Dora, there was no one to wait upon Mrs. Britt, or to man­ age poor, foolish Tattie, and Tattle had sore fieed of kindly offices. An old man-servant, Jerry, and his wife, who was cook and maid of all work, com­ pleted the hourahold. As the invalid of the family. Mrs. Britt occupied the largest and best room in the house. It was situated at the stop of the staircase in tbe west wing, and commanded an unobstructed view on three sides. The walls were hung with a dingy pa|>er, now dark with age and mildew, and a huge four-poster stood in the middle ot the floor. Very dark curtains of cretonne de­ pended from tho ceiling about this conch, giving it more' the appearance of a great black hearse than a place for pleasant re­ pose. The furniture was plain and poor, concistiug of a chair or two and aa old-fash­ ioned chest of drawers standing in an alcove near the bed. There was a musty parlor on the first floor directly beneath the room occupied by Mrs. Bntt, but it was seldom, if ever, used by any member of tho household. Britt himself occupied a small apartment near the musty parlor. Ho was always going out or coming in st the most unsea­ sonable hours, and instated upon having a chamber to which access wm easy.

THE STRUGGLE OF THE HURTS. IU Disastrous Effects Upon the Crops in Some of the Western j The present week is the sixteenth wssk of the League pennant race, and with re­ markable tenacity and determination tho four clubs which took the four leading positions in the race aro hanging on to first, second, third, and fourth positions respectively, with only a streak of daylight between themselves and their nearest neighbors. It is certainly a remarkable struggle, and, barring the collapse of some one or more of tho big teams, promises to result in a remark­ able finish. Chicago snd Detroit ■till continue at the top of tho string; and Detroit is playing better ball than she wm playing two week* ago, but that the* cham­ pions will ultimately beat the Wolverines out in the race seems to be tho firm con­ viction of lovers of the game hereabout. That the two clubs will go East ahreMt ta almost certain. By playing steady ball the Chicagos will hold thoir own until the lat­ ter part of the present week, when tho De­ troit* will come here for a scries of three games. It will then be an euy matter to whittle down the small lead now held by ihu Michigan men. This may be expressing a little too much confi­ dence in tho Chicago team, but it ia a notorious fact that Captain Anson and hta men had rather play ball against tho Detroit* than any other team in too League. Clarkton will probably pitch two of the three approaching games. This is tantamount to two victories, and two vic­ tories over the Detroits means a great deal. ; Stipuld the two clubs go Eot on even terms it ta dollars to doughnuts that tho ' champions will come out of too tighte to be ! waged in Pittsburg, Philadelphia, Wash- j iugton.

Moriarty.a south-paw twirler who pitched a good game against the Detroit* when tbe latter played the Minneapolis team last spring, is in Detroit, and will probably be given a trial by the Detroit*. The Washington Club still holds tho honor of not having lost an extra-inning game this year, having won one from Chi­ cago. two from Detroit, two from Pitts­ burgh, and tied oirt, while lost year every one was lost. Providence has sent out many ball cap­ tains. Irwin, of the Phillies; Farrell, oil the Washingtons; Ward, recently captaifi of the New Yorks; aud Denny, of tbe In­ dianapolis, make up half the League force of captains. If Seery keeps on at this rate he will have more haras on ball* to hi* credit than hits. He is on his way to the fiftieth base ou balls. Shomberg has seen first on balls thirty-four times. This would give Shom­ berg an average of .357, League rules, and Seery .334. Tom Densley says there is too nlucb legal talent on the New York League team. Ward and O'ltourke are both graduates of law schools, and Tom asserts that these two legal luminaries delight in paralyzing the common members of the team by the use of legal terms and jaw-breaking word*.

I would ratter put on a base-ball mask and watch n boy than to go (stealthily into a hole in a neglect, d canyon and pull a grizzly bear out by the tail. It is more exciting, too. But I think that jndnrtry among boys is not making such fearful ravages as it did when I wuh a boy. Boys seem now to te more able to restrain" themselves in tho matter of forming industrious habits and do not become the slaves of manual labor. I can see that I overdid it ns a boy, nnd uow that I am abundantly able to take life easy and enjoy well-merited rest my whole being seems to te so soaked in a morbid desire to work that even in England, where it is looked upon with horror for n gentle­ man to exert himself, I frequently lost caste by doing chores around the barn. In the South, where industry is con­ trolled almost solely by colored people, I can see now that I lowered myself by giv­ ing way to this wild, uncontrollable yearn­ ing for totL So that boys should not te allowed to think that Industry is the one thing for which we were created. I wish I might say this in on impressive way, so that boys would heed it. ‘ How would it do for the B'orLf to send a man down to your house. M. L. B.. nnd see what bo could do with your boy in order to make him a summer boy ? The ll'or/d wants to do what is right by its readers, bnt the trouble ia to get Its friends to harmonize on a policy. A few weeks ago n subscriter for tbe paper wrote to this office asking how to preserve water­ melon rinds so that they would not work iu Hummer, and here you come with a wild and Macedonian cry for a recipe that will make your boy work during tbe same try­ ing season. . I run anxious to adjust this matter so that both of you wi 1 be ph ased, but I have a good muuy other things to think of, aud it is hard to give yonr matter the time and thought that it teally merits. I would like to dwell at greater length upon the horrors of ludmitry were it not for several far more imjH’rtant question* that are waiting here for a reply. On my desk there is a pressing inquiry ns to the best method for tho ame! iorut ion of pimple* which it U not do to tenure. There is also a tear-wLiiued note from Fre­ mont, Ohio, asking what to do to restore nniuiutiou nnd induce artificial respiration in a lieu that Uns fallen into the i-w II-bar­ rel hioiigli no fndlt ot1 hers. Another sub­ scriber, in a Hpixit of badinage, I presume —for Htire'v no one could be ao ignornn’— asks what he ran do to make hi* hydraulic ram ring while molting. So you con see, M. L. B., that a man who answers all these iiueriious during the week and then writes the matter for a thir­ ty-two page Sunday paper is what might be termed sbusy man. Some would tell you it yoor boy will not work in summer to fill him up with New Orlemii molasHes nnd set him in a warm place, b.it that is no way to talk to a parent - Pae.

Battle Creelj cap­ italists are looking and working for railroad extension northward through this village, and the completion of such a railroad as is proposed, means a boom that would bring manufactories, growth and prosperity to Nashville and sur­ rounding community as surely as the sun would rise to-morrow. The chair would recommend the organization of theNashville ImprovementAssociation, whose objects should be to secure an­ other railroad, to solicit the location of manufactories, and to offer substantial encouragement to every enterprise, industry and improvement that will contribute to the growth, prosperity and beauty of the village of Nashville. Remarks were made by George W. Francis, W. S. Powers, S. Overholt. Jacob Osmun, F. C. Boise, C. W. Smith, G. A. Truman, C. L. Glasgow, W. H. Young and others, who stated sub­ stantially that they were ready and willing to work for the up-building of Nashville. On motion of W. S.

Secretary, Geo. W. Francis. Treasurer, G. A. Truman. And a general committee, of thirty, after which the meeting adjourned un­ til the next evening.

Representative men of Battle Creek have perfected an organization for the purpose of extending the St. Louis railroad northward from that city through Nashville and ultimately to Bav City. It Is eminently proper that Rat­ tle Creek should take the initiatory and leading steps toward reviving this railroad project, a* the proposed line Would be a rich feeder to that enter­ prising city. It has been conoeeded by competent judges that the buiding of such a railroad would’ prove profitable to the company which operated it and a benefit to the people and towns along the line. The section of the eountry through which it would run is aa fine as the sun shines upon, and the tapping of this section would increase our products 25 per cent., and double the population of Nashville. Our people are fully awake to the importance of securing another railroad, and are ready to extend substantial encourage­ ment to such a project.

Hie counsel for too railroad said tho ground upon which the company Htood was tout the inqnir; of the Railway Commission is uncalled for, unjust, and unprincipled. It is an inquisition into tho private affairs of a private corporation, and the court could not use any mcasurre to compel tho President of the road to answer. Tile counsel continued: “Wo do not fall back on tho right of Senator Stanford to refuse to answer on the ground that ho would criminate himself. We da not say that there would ba any criminality if he answer. The refusal testa on too question of human rights individually. The right to hold a star-chamber inves­ tigation and act ai» they had undertaken to act, is to undermine thq principles of civiliaod nations and to revert to war.

Artistic needlework is again very fashionable and much practiced by many young ladies, who now revert to the ways of their grandmothers in this aa in some other things. Lambrequins are not now thought so much of os in the popular days of macraxne-work. Macro me was simple, and st the same time very effective, so that a very handsome lambrequin, either for man­ telpiece or window. «-ould be produced by any g-rl who rhose to give a little time to it, without putting much taste -or skill into the work. The present wtylo of lambrequin is, however, a very different article; its basis is velvet, and the very highest art of the needlewom­ an is often exercised in the production -of sprays for its decoration. Aprons pin-cushions, card-cases, 'wall-pockets, and many similar articles receive tb«r due share of embroidery, and are made os fancifully beautiful as the taste of tae maker dictates. One -of the prettiest objects for tbe display of fine needlework ia a racket-cover.

They are that antagonistic they wou’d offer up in smoke endless cigars as ass.slants to cogitations resulting in a now ou-ilnught. Tbev would expend their last “William" in effTrvescingeye-openers if it were necessary. However,they need no such extravagant helps. On the contrary, they simply fall back upon an old and, wa had- supposed, worn-out fad. They are discussing tho uses and abuses of the bustle. They grow classical in their satirical re­ marks—at least one of them smattared of fowl, if not dog, Latin when he saida fash­ ionably accoutered womsn suggested a sym­ phony* in ornithology of the species Tnriur uurituu, with all the plumage borne where tbe cart is when the horse is in front, or something like that, bo said. Again, ih>-y tell some very well-rounded storiea of impossible accidents happening the wearers. One man insists ho saw a wurnnn with a ?tunning attachment of the bustle nature trn-iug to get off a crowded street-car. But >he couldn’t. Tho attach­ ment war wedged iu between human logs. Nobody could budge enough to liberate her before the car started on, and she had to rule another block, whde the fire in her eye showed she blnmad the men for her delay. This is so preposterous it is scarcely worth refuting. The idea is a concoction of Lis own mind, false on tho face of it. Bustles of to-day are pot that kind of solid substances. • There was a time, if you take it historic­ ally, following its rise* and fall, when the bustle was something of a battering-ram. Then it was stuffed solid with sawdust. Or during - its intellectual period, when woman's beauty was backed up by intel­ ligence—the newspaper intelligence of the day. But to-day tho bustle is light and yielding in its manneri. Nothing obtru­ sive or-<x>mbativo about it. It in simply a structure of compressible springs and reeds. Notwithstanding all these vituperations and ineffectual efforts to bring it into dis­ respect. the I ustle allows nothing to stay it iu its gigantic strife for prodigious excel­ lence, and it grows dearer aud dearer to the heart of every fashionable women, and net less so to the pocketbook supplying ber pin-money. It has not only survived all prejudice and hostile Critiehiu which nt one time accused it of being of Satanic origiih but this very hostility has given impetus to its auccemiivo stages. It has this season reached its moat extraordinary development. It has out­ stayed all modistic rivals in fact; while it has never been literally in front, it has left behind all competing innovations of a lady's toilet. High heels and choker collars have had their day und are discarded, but for the last twenty yi-ors no lady would think of going upon 'the street without her bustle. She would, indeed, be n sorry spectacle, us depressing as an elephant promenading without hw trunk, and she would receive i.o small amount of observation. We have sought diligently to, give you tin- authentic origin of these drees-extendera. In dress, nil roads lead to Eve, but we cannot with authority affirm that she used tbe article. There is some doubt about herbaceous condiments working up well into this article. Alma Tadema’s pictures assure us it does not reach back to the palmy days of Greece and Egypt. * It really seems too bad those ancient maidens, 'who, otherwise, displayed great taste iu the fabrics and designs of dress should never have been introduced to this popular device. It w certain that if CleoKlra or Sappho had only dreamed, ot tbe nerits of tbe bustle they would have worn it. They couldn't have helped being det lighted with the perky look it would have given their limp, lanky gowns. Dming those old dnrk ages we may have to concede the beauties of the bustle hibernated with the soul of the camel, but with the advent of the Dolly Varden and tbe Grecian bend it was transmigrated, us it were, to decorate pretty girls aud it has come to stay, as before intimated. To-day it* has its home with feminine royalty and intellectuality. Queen Kapiolani wean an adjustable wire back-action bustle; tbe Princess of Wales holds draw­ ing-rooms attired in a robe distended with reeds; and we will wager half our pin­ money every graduating dress of the sea­ son was puffed out ten to twenty inches by some wire contra ance. As this article is supposedly only read by our dear lady friends, it will of course not hurt their tender sensibilities when we affirm that we believe that men in their in­ most secret hearts wish that they could wear bustles. Strange os it may seem, tbe best inventions for dress-extenders, the best bustles, have originated in masculine minds. How much regretful thought was expended in this work the world can never know. The other night at some ambitious ama­ teur theatricals the handsome red velvet disreputable laps behind. We quietly tacked in a little pleated crinoline that nghted the whole affair, and the aelfsotiafied strut with which that man wsnt off radicated that that little bustle filled on aching void in his ambition as well as in tbe wrinkles of his garments.

Little Nellie, five years old, went to walk on Sunday afternoon with her pa­ rents. The party strolled along the bank of the reservoir, concerning tho use of which Nellie asked many ques­ tions. While they were there they witnessed an exciting episode—a small boy's straw hat was blown off his head into the reservoir aud fished out with no little difficulty with the aid of a long pole. That evening at supper, on Nellie was drinking water from a glass, she asked: "Is this water the same as tbe water up in the reservoir?" Nellie smacked her lips in an experi­ mental way, and with a alight expres­ sion of displeasure. “Well," she said, “I think it tastes some ot a straw hat?"—Boston Tran­ script. __ _____________________ A great many petty trials of life would cease to trouble u* if we only thought how little they will mutter a thousand years hsnee. fcntCAOO COREESPOSDENCX.J ' What a fight the League clubs are having, and uiyrt-n. magnificent race they are en­ joying for tbe League pennant or 18rt7.

DF.TB0IT AND CHICAGO. The series of games just played in Chi­ capo between the champions and ifco Wol­ verines have been of absorbing interest to lovers of base-ball everywhere. When tbe Wolverines arrived here the standing of the teams wai such that Chicago, by winning the three games, might take the lend in the race which Detroit had so long hold. Both teams went upon the bull field Satur­ day afternoon “for blood," and a wore in­ tensely exciting game has never been witnes-ed upon tbe Chicago Base-ball Grounds. But seven inning* were played, owing to the heavy clouds, which shut out the daylight; but tbe 15,000 people present —tbe largest crowd present at any one game this season—went home just ns well satisfied as though nine in­ nings had been played. The game stood three to two at tbe end of the sixth inning, when Chicago suddenly dropped onto Getzein’s delivery, and entered into a baling streak that raised that great crowd onto their feet in many and many a cheer that fairly shook the "grand stand. The game was in many respects one of the most remarkable yet played on the home grounds. Clarkson, whom Vie Detroits dread as they du no olher man in the National League, was in tbe points. His work outgrew the descript­ ive jiower conveyed iu the adjectives, and Lecnuit- simply phenomenal. Pitching with wonderful accuracy and coolness, he completely baffled the great sluggers from the Strait*. Bronlhen clone ot all tips team was able to gauge the wizard's deliv­ ery. Besides striking out six of the Mich­ igan men Clarkson fielded six grounders to Anson. Three of the«e were red hot, and one was pulled down with one hand ou a jump. The great pitcher, besides pitching an extraordinary game, made two home runs—one over the Hurri«ou street wall and the other a low, hard drive over the gras* in left field. Flint handled the de­ livery of his old colleague iu splendid form. M henUhe game was called nt the com­ mencement of the eighth inning the score stood t> to *2 in favor ot Chicago. The two clubs crossed tints ngain on Monday, and ngain the Wolverines were downed, after a magnificent contest, by a score ot 6 to 4. This produced a tie for first nlnce between the two clubs, and when the contest.inis met on Tuesday for tho third gome of the present series, ex­ citement among base-ball enthusiasts ran high. Another enormous crowd assem­ bled at the ball park to witness tbe battle of the giants of tbe League, aud were rewarded by another splendid exhibition of the science of tbe national game. For a third time in sura-ession Clarkson, tho crack pitcher of tbe Chicago team, faced the De­ troit sluggers, and he held them down to five base-hits. Four of these, however, were bunched in one inning, which, aided by an error and a base ou balls, netted them five runs and gave them tbe gome by a score of 5 to X In the other eight Innings but one solitary base-hit was made off John CUrksou'a’deceptive curves. In the three games the heavy hitters of tho De­ troit nine hit him safely just eighteen times, an average of six hits to * game. Verily is Clarkson a wizard. THE WESTEKN CLVDS IN THE EAST. The Chicago*, who are still second in the race, are in prime condition. Upon the result of their pls.nng during the next three weeks will de;>end their chances of winning tho pennant. The New York dub is now in fine form, and with Keefe aud Welch on their mettle there is certain to be some fan on Man­ hattan Island during tho next three weeks. Tbe feature of the Philadelphia’s play, recently, has been the phenomenal pitch­ ing of Buffintou, who in two games retired the Chicagoe with a total of five clean hits. The Boston club seems to be still upon the decline, compared with its strong showing . at the outset of tho b'.asou. The cause, as assinged by many, is that there is too much Kelly the cltib. The wan is a good player when under restraint, but as cap­ tain of a team be is a failure. This fact, added to the almost complete collapse of the Hub's batteries, has ruined the chances of the club. Pittsburg, Washington, and Indianapolis ore trailing along iu tho order named. Cos Cbsoas. Lost time is forever lost. The famous authoress of “Uncle Tom's Cabin,” Mrs. Harriot Beecher .

In 1850 she contributed to tbe National Era, an anti-slavery paper published at Washing­ ton, "Uncle Tom’s Cabin," ns n serial. This story followed shortly afterward <in 1852) in Look form, and met with merited success, 313,b0o copies being sold in the United States within the short space of three year* and a half, and in oil, over half a million copies, including a German edition. In Groat Britain its sale was enormous. It has been translated into more than twenty lauguages, including Welch, Russian, Armenian, Arabic, Chi­ nese, and Japanese; there were fourteen different German,and four different French versions, and it has been dramatized in various forms. Sirs. Stowe subseqnently published “A Peep Into Uncle Tom’s Cabin, for Children." 1853; “A Key to Uncle Tom’s Cabin," giving the original facts and statements on which that work was based, 1853; and “The Christian Slave," a drama founded upon Uncle Tom's Cabin," 1855. “Uncle Sam's Eman­ cipation" was issued in 1853, and in the same year she visited Europe, publishing in the year following “Sunny Memories of Foreign Lands." A little work entitled “Geography for My Children" was pub­ lished. in 1855, and the next year appeared her second anti-alavery novel, “Dred, a Tale of the Dismal Swamp,” republished in 1859 un,der the title of "Nina Gordon.” In subsequent works Mrs. Stowe has de­ lineated the domestic lifr of New England of fifty or one hundred years ago. Her other published works axe: "Our Charley aud What to Do with Him," 1859; "The Pearl of Orr’s bland." 1862; “Agnes of Sorrento," 1863; “The Ravages of a Car­ pet,’’ “Religious Poems," “Stories About Our Dogs, "Little Foxes," “Queer Little People, "The Chimney Corner." “Men of Our Times," "My Wife and I," “A Doga Mission,” etc. Mrs. Stowe's home is in Hartford, Conn., but she passes much of her time in Florida,where she possesses an extensive orange plantation. THE CHATSWORTH HORROR. . From the stories of eye-witnesses, tho conduct of the women in tho railway acci­ dent at Chatsworth was extremely credita­ ble. Those who died met death with heroic bravery, ’and those who were for­ tunate enough to escape did so only after rendering those about them all tho aid possible. . There are some vho are made strong by great dangers Or emergencies. Tho Chatsworth women are of this sort and dozens of them had hardly extricated themselves from the wreck before they busied themselves car­ ing for the wounded and smoothing the pillows of tho dying. The attending phy­ sicians attribute the recovery of a groat many of the wounded solely to the minis­ tering care of tbe noble and unselfish women. _________ Tho pecuniary loss arising from the Chatsworth accident is simply enormous. Under the laws of Illinois tives of those killed in the dis­ aster will, if they here any claim at all, deplete the treasury of the Toledo, Peoria and Warsaw of something like S350,(K)0, and those injured would receive at least $250,000 more. It migtit be just as well, at this juncture, to recite some of tbe vicisaitudea of the road as illustrating its condition. In 1880 it was leased to tbe Wabash, aud when that road drifted into tbe hands of a receiver, the trustees for the holders ot tbe first-mortgage bonds of the Toledo, Peoria and Warns took possession of the road. Proceedings to foreclose this particular mortgage were had, and in October, 188G, the road was brought to sale. It was bought in for the benefit qf the holders of tho first* mortgage bonds. A new company was organized, which took possession July 1, 1887. The name of the road was for some reason or other changed from tbe To­ ledo, Peoria and Warsaw Railroad Com­ pany to the Toledo, Peoria and Western Railway Company. Tho new corporation is realizing from $10,000 to 815,000 per month on the road. Should the corpora­ tion be held tuilty of negligence, and therefore at fault for the accident, the gen­ tlemen who only six weeks ago bought in tbe property to save themselves will be confronted with claims aggregating little loss than a million of dollars. This, of course, simply means bankruptcy. Seedy party (to bartender)—Your refusal, sir, to trust me to a paltry drink of whisky fills me with astonish­ ment and indignation.

Numerous inhabitants of the village knew nothing about the fire until tbe next morning. Four men were all who had presence of mind enough to go after the engine and hose cart. The rest wanted to see tbe fire. If tbe buildings destroyed are replaced by good subsan tial ones, as they prob­ ably will be, a year from now the town will be better off for the fire having occurred. The fire engine was, of coarse, crip­ pled, so that only about half an ordi­ nary stream eould be throws. It would be a good scheme to either fix it op a little so as to make it serviceable, or else give it up altogether and organize a basket brigade. The whole time occupied io the de­ straction of the foar buildings did not exceed an hour and a half, and by twelve o'clock tbe crowd bad entirely dispersed, save a few who remained to keep a watch on the smouldering ruins. It was a remarkably rapid fire, ata. ting with startling suddenness and burning with fearful rapidity. O’Champaugh Jias opened a shop in the little Barry building, just north of । C. B.

[Boeton dispatch.] Now that all other labor troubles are Mi­ lled, or in process of settlement, the base­ ball players are coming forward and de­ manding that their claims be mtisfied. With them it is not a question of nay or hours of work, but simply an abolishment or amendment of the present methods by which they are bought and sold as com­ pletely as were ever black slaves before the emancipation proclamation. There is at present a base-ball union, called the Brotheihood of League Base-Ball Players, of which Ward, of New York, is Presi­ dent, and before next week ia out the brotherhood will have informed the League managers fully of what it iutends to de­ mand, and the presumption is that most of ita demands will be satisfied. There is as yet no L.lk of strikes or lockout*, and it is hoped that tbe settlement will be an amic­ able one, for it is felt on all sides that if tho brotherhood should take tbe bit in ita teeth the disruption of the National League would be the result The brotherhood is weaker in Chicago than other cities, only Williamson. Pfeffer and Flint being members, but the Chicago club has to stand or fall with the League, and if it is broken in New York, Detroit, Boston and Philadelphia President Spald­ ing will find his occupation gone.

(New Ubn (Minn.) telegram.] Tuesday was the twenty-filth anniversary of the battle of New Ulm, and the city gave a right royal welcome to the surviving de­ fenders who, a quarter of a century age, risked their lives in her defense. It was at a lime when the drafts upon Minnesota for the civil war bad taken away many of her able-bodied citizens, leaving comparatively few to defend the firesides. The Indians Mixed this opportunity, and then followed the great Sioux massacre, the most saneu nary conflict of which was the battle of Hew I la. But Colonel Charlea Flandrau, dow of St Paul, and a few well-armed men came from BL Peter and tbetcvn was saved. Numbers of the old defenders were at New Uhn from Mankato, BL Paul, Le Sueur, SL Peter, and other cities. All the streets were gayly decorated. A Woman Office-holder. Miss Minna B.

In team work, in brilliancy of fielding, in. wonderful spurts of baiting, in base-run­ ning, in splendid pitching, in individual and collective playing, Che work of theaetwo teams wa« something which the most gifted pen could bat faintly outline, how­ ever greatly inspired. Each game was a battle of tbe giants from first to last, and in attempting to give just credit to those of the players who most deserve it one is. puzzled where to begin. With but little­ hesitation, however, it can safely be said, that of tbe twenty or more players whoparticipated in the three games, none did nobler work than did John Clarkson, starting in upon Saturday, ho gavesuch an exhibition of . pitching skill as is seldom seen. Not onlydid ho show himself master of theball from the pitcher's standpoint, but without exaggeration it may be aaid that it it is poeaitlo for one man to win u ball game, Clarkson accomplished the feat in tbe first game of the series with Detroit In his delivery upon that day be seemed. bent upon sho wing tbe 13,1100 people pres­ ent every strategy and peculiarity kuown.in tbe science of modern pitching, aud being familiar, through careful and systematic study, with the batting peculiarities ot every Detroit babtman who faced him, he was wonderfully effective. It msv safely be said, brilliant at bis record has been,, that Clarkson never covered his position in. such splendid form. He pulled down and stopped balls from the bat that many a. man upon the lines of tbe diamond would, have hesitated before, and with the bat in his hands he was a tower of strength to hi*team. He went in again Monday and pitched another winning game, making al­ most aa brilliant a record as upon th» Saturday before. He went in again on Tuesday; and al­ though bo pitched a great game for Chica­ go, Detroit won by a lucky stroke of bat­ ting and some really wonderful work in the field. To chow bow detenpinod De­ troit was to win thu third and last game of the series, a little piece of strategy upon the part of Getzein and Bennett—the De­ troit battery—may be cited. It was full ot risk, and might have lost them tho game;, but, fortunately for Detroit, it was suc­ cessfully accomplished, and saved the game to them. It was in the eighth in­ ning, with Pfeffer upon second base and Sullivan upon third, when Williamson came to bat. Three strikes had been called upon Ed, who throughout thu game seemed wholly unable to Rauj-e •Pretzel's* de­ livery. When just as ho was al­ most in the act of sending the ball over tbe plate again. Gets stopped and called Bennett down the path toward him. Thetwo conversed for ten seconds in low tones, Gelzern the while glancing toward Sullivans on third. Then they separated, and Getxein, stepping back into the box, Mnt aball over tho plate on a line with William­ son's head. The next ball was to one side of the plate and low down, with but little' speed. Nevertbeleu, it otruclc Bannett'a band squarely, bounded off about ten feet to one side (the result of an intentional muff1, and Sullivan started la from third. Getz jumped toward tho plate almost at the same momor.t tbe ball left his hand, and received the ball from Bennett, whocaptured it with a single bound, easily put­ ting Sullivan out at tbe home base. Then, tbe Detroiters started in for their bench and the White blockings went to tho fieldThe nature of BennoU and Gotzein's little­ consultation dawned upon tho spectators, aud a roar of mingled laughs and cheerswont up from the big crowd. Since Chicago's departure for the East it the four games commenced with Pitts­ burgh, one was postponed by rain with the Pituburghs in tbe lead when gome wa» called, two were won by Pittsburgh and one by Chicago.

The German tragedy queen has recently celebrated by a jubilee performance tbo twenty-fifth anniversa­ ry of her engagement at the Royal Barg • Theater. The Emperor. Crown Prince, and other high dignitaries wore present, and ths house was literally packed. The play was “Sappho,” with Madame Wol­ ter in the title role. She was received with an encore of enthusiasm and wm overwhelmed with flowers. The Em­ peror presented to her a diamond bracelet, and other gifts came from all parts of Austria and Germany. At the close of the play Madame Wolter made a touching speech of thanks to tho Em­ peror and to tho nndience at large. She was presented to the Austrian Em­ press by her rightful title m the Count­ ess O’Sullivan. But the Empress in turn presented her to the Court os Madurne tVolter, saying, “I am proud of-you m ‘the Wolter,’ m that is the name I like to prosentyou. I have so many Countesses at Court that your other title conveys no distinction.” Madame Wolter was born in the city of Cologne in 1834, of poor but respectable parents, and i had to overcome many diflicuities, and battle through innumerable hard times before obtaining the recognition her talent deserved. She now occupies the undisputed place of the first among German tragic a -tresses, and only her objection to play in foreign countries has prevented her name from becoming one of world-wide fame. In 1875 she married Count Charles O’Sullivan, but family considerations obliged her to keep tho marriage secret for many years. Not only Vienna, but all Aus­ tria, may be said to be at her feet, and although she is over 50 years of age, she is still young-looking and attract­ ive. as tho accompanying cut of her shows. _________________________ American Wares. It m&v be noted that the Americans aro trying to show us in thia year of grace what they can produce in inven­ tion and manufactures by holding an exhibition of purely American mechan­ ism and manufactures in London.which is likely to be the jubilee exhibition for London at any rate. It should be known that this exhibftlon is neither instituted nor supported by the Amer­ ican Government, but is a purely pri­ vate though gigantic speculation got up by some of the most eminent men and manufacturers in the United States; and tho mere fact that such an exhibition, solely composed of our great competitor’s wares, should take place in the capital of the commercial world and in the heart of' our empire shows the pluck of the Americans and their determination to cut us ultimately out of the running even in our own country if tuey poM? blycan. When wm ever such an exhibition held, in a foreign-Tountry without gov­ ernment assistance, by any other nation in the whole annals of the world ? Con­ sidering the great advance the people of the Unital Kingdom have made during the post fifty years, in spite of the heavy weights hnng on them by “use and wont," and all other remnants of feudal traditions, it surely stands to reMon that, under more favorable cir­ cumstances, tho advance will bo pro­ portionately greater. How comes it that the “essentially British” Americans are so go-ahead' and inventive, if not because they ore enlightened and progressive—running lightly, m it were, in tho race? Why, again, are the mass of the people in the old country (of the same race as the Americans) *o comparatively slow, and to all appearance so non-inventive—if not because they are unenlightened and lethargic—running hoavilv laden in the race, looking back to the past rather than forward to the future? In the language of a high authority, “the old nations of the earth creep dn at a snail's pace, while the American Re­ public thunders past with the rush of the express.” Why should this be? Who is to blame for the existing state ot matters ? In a free, oonatiiutionally governed country like the United Kingdom is it not time that the mau of the people were waking up and in­ sisting on their xepresentative* and statesmen reading the sign* of the times, and seeing that the disadvan­ tages under which they labor m a na­ tion are removed and that the whole country is really governed by the peo­ ple and for the good of the people in every sense?—Nineteenth Church. Growth of Good Habits. Good habits grow upon the constant doer of good actions with perhaps more Insty readiness than bad onus, for the reason that they are backed by an ap­ proving conscience.

AUG. 87,1887 TRAPS FOR YOUNG GIRLS. Thousands of the beat home* and klandeat of parent* in the world turn their daughters oat into society to drift about Ln the snares aud trap* lying so thick about them, letting them go out with ywung men of doubtful morality, going to balk that take ap nearly the whole nkht, and keeping as late hours Mtivoy please, and with whomever they please, and then are horrified when thd^ are awakened to the horrible fact that their girl, that they sent out all innocent and trust to cope with the world has fallen prey to somoucheming bat polite, gonial and winning man who is all guilt. Can parents who are thus guilty curse the daughter who ha* fallen into pits from which they could and should have warned her! It is tiie first wrong step of a girl tak­ en innocently, and not tbe last that ruins her. And nine times out of ten that first step tbe watchful, careful eye of parents could have prevented. Let not parents who know how full the world is of temptation to woman, blame too harshly the daughter who has fallen by reason of not knowings little of the things of which her mother might have warned her. For it is too often the over-indulgence and tbe mis­ taken kindness of parents that give the reins and license for the first step In the way that loads to the ruin of the girl and to the sorrow and woe of all who love her. Any close observer in a city or in a town now can see almost every day sweet and lovely and in no cent girls taking this fatal] first step. Girls are seen talking this first step in handkerchief flirtations on the streets with men they do not know—or if they do they ought not to know. Again, it is seen in one step too far at the ball, in somfe sacrifice of modesty*, or too great familiarity, of which the young libertine, who was her partner, boasted to his chums next day, ad­ ding still more to it. Sometimes it is taken in reciving and answering n clandestine letter; at other in long and late walks at night, in secluded places* terminating in a supper somewhere at which wine a<Ms fire to flame already, but perhaps unconsciously, started. It is taken, too, in a clandstine kiss at the gate or in a carriage—a kiss not of a brother or an accepted lover, but of a pirate and his poison; in the secret reading of an inflammatory book, se­ cretly and shrewdly loaned and in many other ways I need not mention. The sweetest, purest thing in all the world is a pure young girl, when she is just emerging from tbe daisy and voilet field of youth, and blushing into all the beauty of womanhood. Standing thus in her purity, she move more a thing of heaven than of earth and all heav­ en contains nothing that ought to be more sacred, from the touch of tbe spoiler. But the earth is not heaven, and that which good people would hedge about as sacred, thousands of evil-hearted men would trample down into the mire of the earth and into the fires of hell for a moment’s ratification of their brutal lust. Let the parents who know thia, and who see their daughters stepping out of their arms in all tbe radience of girlish beauty or ri­ pening womanhood, loos more closely to tbe safety aud purity of their je wels. Let the girls, too, listen more faithful­ ly to the low-toned monitor of delicate □stinct, that nature lias placed in every pure woman’s breast aud not trust as fair all that seemeth so, aud there will be fewer such tragedies, fewer girls and women daily fallen to a depth that ia below and beyond even the kind­ ness of death.

I beg, however, your leniency, as the absence of flowery language to balanced by tho truth of the narrative. Eugene Eggleston loved Laura Le Favre fondly, devotedly. Bo loved her as only those can love who possess that warm, af­ fectionate temperament matured under a Southern sun, affluence, aud the sweet in­ fluence of loving friends. His was a true manly nature, a noble heart, a face aud physique almost perfect. Ho hod eyes of clear, beautiful blue, through which one oopldlook way, way down into the very Brart, and see nothing corrupt therein. A complexion as rich and warm as his nature, and Hoft auburn hair which accompanies that peculiar shade of blue eyes. There wm nothing objectionable in him! Nothjhg-Aahaolutely nothing. He'wta toe embodiment of everything grand and noble—and yet consent to wi-d the object of his deep .passion was withheld by Colonel Jerome Le Favre. Proud, wealthy, and aristocratic, Colonel Le avre had always bold himself so far above every one in his suburban town where hi.* Bummer home had been for a quarter of a century, that he was regarded with awe nnd reverence. One hardly dared approach him until he jmade tho brat ad­ vance toward recognition, and it was with a faint' heart ana nervouR bearing that Eugene sought this haughty man and made known his desire. • Col. Le Favre had raised his only child, Laura, alone. The day that gave her birth saw her mother’s eyes close in death, and the father from that hour centered his whole heart upon the child; had given her every advantage abroad that wealth could secure; and now, at the age of seventeen, he realI' lzed with a feeling of satisfaction that his daughter was inferior to none in beauty, education, refinement and culture. 8 u was his idol. Watch her as Rhe perches on the arm of the great upholstered chair in which her father sits. Her light arm encircles his neck, and they make an attractive pair. He, with his handsome face lit with paternal love and pride, and she, with that dark, rich, magnetic beauty that baffles all de­ scription. Her brown velvety eyes are deeply fringed with long, dark lashes that incline upward and at the corners come together in so bewitching a manner as to import a combined look of childish purity ana innocence with a love of fun and mirth. Tho contour of her face is oval; her com­ plexion most enviable, and her mouth so beautiful, so rich in coloring, and with clear-cut curves, which be«poke a love for everything good and pure; and such a sweet expression! Ono cannot look at her without a desire to kiss, *1 And both mon and women were alike in this. An abundance of silky black hair, care­ lessly put back in two long braids, is held by cream satin ribbons, and a dress of cream-colored summer fabric, on a fault­ less figure, complete the picture. She is happy, for Eugene that evening to to auk for her hand, and she soliloquized in this manner: “I know papa's love for me is too groat to deny mo any pleasure; for I cannot re­ call one instance where bo has refused me anything.” 8he seemed to feel certain of bis ap­ proval. Hto refusal was never dreamed of; but that evening Eugene Eggleston re­ ceived, in words moat painfully to the Eint, an absolute and final refusal of her ud, with a warning, full of subtle mean­ ing, to withdraw his unit at onoe. He was nearly wild, and did nothing but walk the streets all night nnd contemplate suicide. Tho next morning, at the hour hto dar­ ling was accustomed to take her daily ride, he mounted his favorite saddle horse, nnd searched tbe road she usually selected, just in time to see her emerge from a lie nd around a thicket of trillown. From the expression of her face be saw she knew all. He had no hopes. He knew he must give up his darling. “Eugene, I have never disobeyed my father in my life,” she said, and broke down. She could not speak for an in­ stant, and, believing that she was trying to summon courage to say “good-by” to him forever, aud knowing ho would rather hear his death-warrant read, he felt a paroxysm of pain, an uprising in his throat, and his heart seemed to stop beating. ' Soon she continued: “But without you I cannot live, and knowing tbe depth of my father's love for me I feel confident of his forgiveness in tho course I am about to follow. Eugene, I will marry you this hour, and before I dismount' from my lelt as though he had been called back to life. They turned their horses, and in silence reached the residence of the dear old di­ vine who had baptized Laura and loved her as hto own. The minister had not the moral courage to refuse the request she made, even though it was full of mad ro­ mance, and there, under the massive boughs of a grand old forest tree, and on horse­ back, Laura Le Favre and Eugene Eggle­ ston were made husband and wife. The laws of their State did not require the marriage license. Realizing the hasty step taken, she felt her whole nervous system giving way; but she soon had control of herself, as she His plans were quickly mad.. In tea than twenty-four hours he had completed his plans, purchases, etc., for a trip to Europe and wm pn route for Loudon. Was there ever such another impulsive, self-wiUed pair of lovers? So perfectly mated, and with true mutual love existing, could they help but be happy, even though thev had made a sensation in their quiet little town sod were deprived of a father’a blessing? They remained six months abroad, loving one another more and more every day. Business then called Eugene home. They returned, located in too neighboring city to toe Colonel's residence, and, be­ lieving time would heal all wounds in his heart, and fully expecting a reconciliation, Eugene Eggleston was not an unhappy man. . He little dreamed of too sad event await­ ing him, an event which would change his present state of happiness to hopeless misery. Colonel Le Favre had grieved deeply for his daughter, and decided that their sepa­ ration should not be further oontiuuod. On learning of their return, he coolly carried out his plans to obtain her. Eugene Eggleston had placed his darling in a home of grandeur, suited in every way to her exquisite taste; and just as they were prepsred to enjoy life in a genuine, homelike, domestic manner, fancy Lis sor­ row, on reluming to his house, one even­ ing, expecting to find an attraction therein, his love for which all words fail to de­ scribe, to find, instead, the following cool note, written in toe bold hand of Colonel Ill-gotten Joys cannot last. They laugh l*it. who laugh but. AH March or pursuit will be vain. ’ Pause and behold him, dear reader, for a moment. He had reached the pinnacle of happi­ ness only to bo robbed so cruelly of all. He thought of the infinite bliss they had enjoyed undisturbed for six months. He knew her whole heart was full of love for him alone, and to be thus cruelly bereft of her was maddening. He felt the strength and meaning of those words, “Search will be vain,” as ho well understood the stern na­ ture of-their author, and the power and wealth at his command to assist him in his bold venture. Tho cose was hopeless in the extreme, yet he vowed to find his wife, or al least devote his life-time in a search. He left nothing undone in his endeavors to obtain some clew to their whereabouts, but each day, each gear, more ftrongly proved the meaning of those words, “Search will be vain.” He lived. But 0, what a sad life! He could not remain in any one place; ho traveled continually. His grief had so stamped itself upon his countenance that strangers saw written therein volumes of untold Badness. It was gnawing his very life out. He could not apply himself to anything. His was a hopeless, ruined life. He searched systematically tor years, but with fruitless results. Then'the search had become a part of bis nature, and was mechanical. This one thought—to find her —had so absorbed his whole soul that ho was powerless to do aught but mechanically search. He had censed to follow out any course of plans or reasoning, but followed his inclinations, which led him every­ where. Five long, dreary years passed. We find Eugene Eggleston in Italy—a sad, changed man. His friends rejoice that ho has nt lost found one pursuit which holds his at­ tention. He now finds so’ace and com­ fort in tbe occupation for which he always had a passion and natural talent—the art of painting. It is not landscapes, ani­ mals. or marine views to which he gives attention, but ever tbe same subject—his wife. His continual effort is to produce or have produced a satisfactory portrait of his lo»t darling. Tbe desire now absorbs his whole life. One of tot- large rooms of the suite he occupies is filled with paint­ ing*; tho subject in each the same, his wife. All aro productions of the most emi­ nent artists the Old World contains; but none satisfy him. In vain these famous artists have endeavored to suit him in the coloring and expression. He arises, leaves his easel in disgust, and starts for a walk. Ab be passes out the door his attention is attracted by a child of extraordinary beauty, chatting gayly to her French m>se, in her native language. They enter the house adjoining toe one be has just left, but not until b« has obtained a good v ew of the face and eyes of that child, which bears so marked a resem­ blance to his lost darling that his first im­ pulse is to follow them and speak to the child. But he suddenly realizes how ab­ surd such a proceeding would be. and moves on. He reasons with himself and tries to thr-w this trivial incident from hi« mind: but that sweet baby face fairly haunts him. He does not walk far, but returns Io the easel while tho face is fresh in his memory, thinking it a* ill aid him to approach^ nearer to the desired expression ot the picture. The next day he Raw tho child again. She came out accompanied by a lady and gentleman—evidently her parents. The gentleman was tall and handsome aud much older than tho lady, who was dressed in deep mourning, with a thick veil which bid the fa'O from view. He watched them from hi« window till they ; awed from sight; then something about tho lady's figure recalled an old familiar fcomething, he knew not what. He felt strangely, and could think of nothing bnt the lady and the fancied re* semblance. Finally ho banished the idea from his thoughts, or, at least, made an effort to do so; for if it should be her, was uot that man her husband and the child theirs? Two living barriers to a possi­ ble reunion with his darling, should it prove to be her! Far better, thought he, never to know too truth than to find her thus. I To remain in a state of doubt was pref­ erable; but all efforts to reason with nimsclf and dismiss the subject from his mind were in vain. Ho felt, however, that it was best for him never to have revealed to him the identity of tbe lady in black. He decided to leave Italy that evening, and go direct to Faris. He had started down (ho street to make some arrangements toward this immediate change when his attention was again at­ tracted by the French- nuree and her little charge. He could not overcome the desire search, to find her thus—beyond his reach. "My child—for eomo powerful instinct tells >10 she to mine—to be forever with­ held from ma! O, God, pity o#,: he cried out in distress. How he reached his rooms he hardly knew. Arriving there ho trod to think of some course to pursue, but could decide on nothing. » What oouid he do? His brain was in a whirl. He ordered his valet to have too groom bring his noddle-horea st once. As ho stood at the window, waiting for his orders to bo executed, he naw a party emerge from the adjoining house, a tali gentleman, the lady in black, maid, nurse, aud his child. Thor entered a carriage and were driven rapidly away. A maddening thought occurred to him. They may bo taking final leave of the city. “I must act; something must be done before it to too late.” He jumped on his horse and followed toe carriage for a long distance, and he saw bin worst fears realized. * Their evident destination was the depot, where they would soon beard a train that would bear them swiftly away from his view forever. . He reins his horse nearer the carriage, and side by side keeps pace tbe distance of a block. The carriage stope. A lady screams in wild delight. Laura Le Favre recognizes in him her long lost-husband. “Eugene," comes from her lips. In au instant ho is face to face with his loved one—under more perplexing condi­ tions; for he dares not claim her until ho understand* the relationship that man by her side bears toward her. He is speechless; but she is conscious of tbo fact that an explanation must be made before he dare claim her. She quickly introduces her uncle, Le­ land Le. Favre, who, she briefly states, since the death of her father, two years previous, has been guardian and protector of hor and her child. “O, how I have prayed for this hour!" "At last,” said Eugene. “I am rewarded. 0, my darling, my two darlings. ” Tbe footman takes charge of the saddle­ horse, the carriage door is opened, Eugene enters, and. barring tho very objectionable presence of witnesses, this to to him like stenpiag into heaven. Little Eugenio, with an inherited love for her father, pats her baby u.rms around his neck and calls him “papa.” He had never dreamed of this additional joy—that of finding a daughter—their daughter. He felt amply repaid for aU his years of misery. Her love unchanged—his intensi­ fied! Oh! theirs would be undisturbed bliss through the future. * Each had volumes to relate, and together they traveled for months enjoying their second honeymoon. They returned to their old home in America, and then-, on her twenty-second birthday, they held a grand reunion of old friends^ who jovfuUy con­ gratulated them, all agreeing that “Truth is stranger than fiction.” Evil* of Hotel Life.

Ho took porticur pains to let it be known that he was these upon business, and that had it not been of a most urgent character ho would have avoided it, as it brought him to a place that bo held in absolute abhorrence. “It will seem strange, gentlemen,” he said, “that I, who have been in pub­ lic life so long, should say that 1 hate to be seen in this public place, but it ia a fact I think that any man who will keep out of these places, except whon he has buainouK, will be much happier.v 1 dislike to see a man hang.

The bugle call excitea him, and he pricks up hto ears and hurries, limping may be, anxious to see what is going on around the corner.

QMETIMES, in these piping days and nights of tho vivid gleam of tho lightning waken mo as I slumber on my comfortable mat­ tress. and I hear the dash of the rain against the window-panes, I turn over and say to myself before drifting off to sleep again, “Well, thank Heaven, I’m not marching with tho army to-night, nor sleeping on the ground." And »o, I doubt not, do many thou­ sands of veterans wake and reflect They tell me that they can't make the people half understand tbe life they led in the army. They any that the more they think of it tbo stranger it seems to themselves. I think I under­ stand the feeling. The experience was so strange, that it is hard now to make it seem real. Comrade Ben Crowninabield, of the Massachusetts Cavalry, wr tes to me that he has learned Ger­ man since the close of the war, and that now he always dreams in Dutch about it, just as if it were too queer for our own tongue. I cannot hope to convey an adequate idea of what soldiers in the field suf> fered, to tbe people who only know about war as the subject of some highflown history, illustrated with all kinds of impossible pictures. I will not try to do it I will merely try to quicken tbo recollection of those com­ rades who served with the regiments that did the marching and the fighting, as to what they suffered while the army they were attached to wa, moving about, getting ready to fight Here we are: time, five o’clock a. m., the dawn of a blistering July day; place, anywhere in the South. The fields, acres of them, are covered with little “dog-tente" enough to shelter in a poor kind of way thirty thousand soldiers. If you are awake at this hour you will hear a bugle-note; then another, and another; then the distant rattle and scream of fife a>d dram, drawing nearer and nearer sb each martial band takes up the “reveille,” till all the camps are astir and alive. There ia a loud murmur everywhere; roll of the company. This done, in­ numerable small fires break forth in every direction. The soldiers are the tin cap that each man carries; they dispatched, the men smoke as into ranks; the staff officers about hero and there; the companies file out into tbe road or upon the field, aa the line of march may be; columns of regi­ ments, brigades, divuuons are formed; and tbe day’s march begins. It will be a twenty-milo march, and last till night. “Not a difficult thing," some brisk young athlete observes. “I have walked farther than that in a day." Have you? Well, suppose you try it m these soldiers do it. Put a rixteen-pound musket over your shoulder. Haug a cartridge box over your hips loaded with forty rounds of fixed am­ munition. Sling on a havesack filled with a peck of cooked rations. Fold vour wool blanket and your rubber blanket, and strap them over vour shoulder. Add your canteen full of water. Here you have anywhere be­ tween s;xty and eighty pounds weight Yon wouldn’t like this, young fellow, would you, on one of your pedestrian tours? Moreover, the man who thinks that there is no difference in easily walking at will along the green roadside, and marching in a column in tho middle of a dusty road, with a man before him, behind him, and on one or both sides of him, had better tpr both ways be­ fore forming his opinion. Our column moves on—cavalry at the front artillery in tbe intervals, infantry strung out at the route-step, wagons at the rear, all toiling ox In the first hour vou may hear talk, jokes, speculations about the campaign, etc. But the sun mounts higher and blazes down fiercely upon us. Tho air is full of dust; everybody is covered with it The march grows painful. The can­ teens are empty. Thirst, weariness, heat Bro upon you all at once. It is the. perfection of misery in the sol­ dier's life. The ranks aro silent; the laugh and jest have ceased. Those men nxe suf­ fering bodily torment They, grit their teeth; they clutch their muskets; they dr.ig themselves along. Do they com­ plain? Yes, in a mild way; else they would not be soldiers. Thev mutter to themselves; they- grumble; but they keep on. How much nature can boar without the body fainting and failing, they have a hundred times found out The bugle sounds n halt; it is a tenminutes’ rest They sink to tho ground in their, tracks, and make tho most of the brief pause. A man in each com­ pany is loaded with a dozen canteens and dispatched for water. Tho buglo sounds again; we get up and woarily resume the march. I have seen men fall with sunstroke at such a time, never to rise again. I anve seen faithful soldiers tumble in their tracks, clear spent with weari­ ness. How can I speak of these things without giving my own experience? I have dragged myself along mile after mile, with blistered foot, aching limbs, with such torments of thirst as Dives know when ho looked out ot hell—and I have managed to endure it all, for tho sake of the example to those under me. Shall I speak of a forced march at night—of weary, half-awakened mon stumbling along in the dork, actually sleeping as the march goes on ? Hun­ ger can be borne, fatigue or physical pain can bo endured; but if you wish to know what ia tbe most exquisite tor­ ment, ask the soldier. He will toll you that it is deprivation of sleep. I h'avo rood how, in some of the barbarous countries of tho East, the criminal is tortured simply by keeping him awake. Many of tho veterans can realize what it means. But_!Jthe long, long, weary day" must end at lost. The welcome halt for tho night sounds. The multitude ot regi­ ments file into the fields. The arms are stacked, the accouterments aro re­ moved, the bacon and coffee are cooked again; unless we are detailed for picket, we shall enjoy such luxury of ■rest as only a thoroughly exhausted soldier may know. The fires aro re­ plenished, pipes are lit, officers and soldiers fraternize around the comp fire. Incidents of the march are re­ counted, stories are told, song and jest lighten the hour. And soon the ground, is covered with slumbering forms, wrapped in their blankets. While the stars wheel in their silent courses, they dream of home, never thinking of tho morrow. “Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are marching!” The burden of the old war-song had a deeded smack of truth. And sometimes the truth took a fierce asjiecL Sometimes tho rattle of car­ bines broke out at the front; tho staff come galloping along the column; bat­ teries went dashing up. “Step out ! long, men!" was the cry. The roar of battle would swell and strengthen ahead; the smoke would rise over the trees. “Double-quick, double-quick!" was shouted and taken up all along tho column, and the old brigade would go, with a dash and a cheer, to ita place in the line, deploy, and take a strong hand in the business that was the ob­ jective point of all this marching and preparation—the work of killing and getting killed. ________ That “Five Ohio” Sutler. In May, 1661, an Englishman named Ezekiel was appointed sutler of the Fifth. Ohio.

The Colonel then asked what compa­ nies dealt with him most liberally. “O,” said Ezekiel, “they all do protty well, but Company J buy the most man of Company J belonged to the rommand. As foou as he mastered tho situation Ezekiel pulled a long face and remarked confidentially to the Colonel: “Whv, d------- them Company J fel­ lers !

RSLL C BBSS perb flrede- With the rapid and u n c hocked growth l^>f Chicago it has been no easy matter to keep the requirements for fighting con­ flagrations at an equal pace. A system and apparatus sufficient for the city’s protection five years ago would to-day be but a child’s game. But the depart­ ment has not lagged. Every practica­ ble new invention has been adopted, every tfuggestica to increase speed and eQicisncv has been introduced, and illustrious General, who commanded during the famous charge, into most conspicuous prominence. The three days’ conflict which practically termin­ ated in the repulse of tho Confederate army needs no repetition here, as history bos heralded and chronicled tho sanguinary deeds of that day sufficiently. General George E. Pick­ ett was born at Richmond, Virginia, January 25, 1825; • he was re­ ceived as a cadet at West Point, gradu­ ating from that ’ academy in the year 1846, from which time his war service soon began. He participated in the war with Mexico, from tho battle of Vera Cruz to the capture of the City of Mex­ ico. ;Howm brevetted First Lieutenant and Captain for gallantry at Contreras, Churubusco, and Chapultopee; he was placed on front er duty from 1846 until 1861, when ho resigned on June 25 of the latter year. In September General Piqkett waa appointed a Colonel in the. Confederate army. and Brigadier and Major General m the following year. Ho participated in many notable bat­ tles, was wounded at Cold Harbor, and his final stand and surrender was in 1865, at Five Forks. He died at Nor- Mrs. Pickett.

This is found in a telegraph key and relay “sounder," and enables the chief to send a mes­ sage to the main office calling out ad­ ditional engines, sounding a general alarm, or ordering extra hose. The alarm-bpx, therefore,.serves a mission of two-fold value. The most isolated box holds tbe ingenious mechanism that, with the aid of electricity, puts that portion of the city under the pro­ tecting influence of the fire depart­ ment and lets loose water to fight flame.

Mrs. Pickett accompanied her husband through the portion of the war which immediately followed aft­ er the date of her marrioge, going into the hardships and trials of camp life. At tho conclusion of the war General Pickett and his wife went to Canada and lived there under the name of l.dwnrds.

General Pickett, accompanied by his wife, soon after this returned to the South, where he established himself in business. His death occasioned Mrs. Pickett tbe sincerest bereavement of an eventful life. “I declare,” said a gentleman who had. just returned from a trip through the South, “it’s an outrage; that’s just what it is.” “What’s an outrage?" said a man with a bod limp, who had just come up. “Why, this thing of fencing in the battlefields and-making a man pull out his pocketbook before he can look at them.

Mjfs H nephew, that you had any reasons for being diaaatixfied with your present business, and if you hive, I fail to understand the hitherto hiuden vein of cuBsedness iu your make-up which has prompted you to risk your good name and character by entering tho legal profession. You say of all the professions that of the law is the quickest and surest to wealth and distinction. And I notice, too, the emphasis you place upon tho last word. I know you have been fairly educated, that you are bright and smart, and that you are counted among the honest and upright young men in your community—a position you have won by your conduct and your business dealings with your fellow-men. ,Yet all these you are' ready and anxious to cast aside to try Sour hand at the wealth and distinction usinoM as an attorney at law. I can only account for this sudden departure from your usually sensible course, on the grounds that some sleektongued and designing villain, per­ haps your unscrupulous competitor in business, has been trying to induce you to run for the Legislature; and you, knowing that a sensible business man was never elected to that body, have felt it necessary to take a preparatory course in the tew. In tho many talks I have given you, and in the letters of counsel and advice I have written you, I have warned you against lightning-rod men, insurance agents, fruit-tree peddlers, pick-iiockets, footpads, monte sharps, etc., but .it appears that in my inexcusable care­ lessness I have never warned you against the seductive but none the less corrupting influence offtho ward poli­ tician M y boy, I regret this; in fact, I am my oWn accuser for having bo long neglect­ ed so important a duty; especially does it make me feel that I must be enter­ ing upon my dotage to think I should have bo long overlooked a matter which I might have known was so likely to prove your ruin, os it has that of many good men before you. If I am right in my opinions- as to your motives, permit me to suggest that there ia more wealth and distinc­ tion to be had in becoming an Alder­ man than you can possibly attain iu tho paltry character of Btate legislator. Should you change your mind, and de­ cide to run for the City Council, you might at once take a trip to Canada and look about a little for a suitable location. Then when the time comes for you to Like up your abode in that country you will know right where you are going to settle down to enjoy your hard-earned wealth and distinction. ________________ Uncle Sam.

He had three romping, laughing school-girls under, his charge, and so completely had they loaded him down with luggage that he bad grumbled and fussed ever since they had started, much to the amusement of the young ladies who were used to his ways. • At tho last moment a gentleman called Mr. Reed aside and Mked if lie would be so kind as to take charge of his sister, who was en route for the city to take a position as teacher in a large school there. In response to tho introduction, "Miss Carlton, Mr. Reed," ahe only bowed, and then turned for a last good-by to her brother. Jack looked about him iu dismay, frightened at the idea of an addition to hia load, but could see nothing but a gray shawl snugly strapped, which she carried easily. Her traveling costume was neat and perfectly fitting, and there wm an air of tidiness and composure about her that just pleased John’s taste ■exactly. He was listening intently to what ■Miss Carlton said, but when she ceased turned to Effie’s side with some jesting remark about an entirely foreign sul>ject, and when tho girls hod a chance to teaze him about “this lady who had do luggage for him to carry,” he only answered in his solemnly ludicrous style, “Time will show, time will show." After a time the day grew hot and tho way dusty, and. tired and worn out, the girls lost their liveliness and were content to lie back among the cushions and sleepily let the time glide away. Poor Jack, left to himself, sought Miss Carlton, expecting to see another “faded flower,” as he emphat­ ically declared each of his charges to be. 'On the contrary, she was wide awake, fresh as when they left home, no trace of wearineps or fatigue on the bright face that wm lifted from tho book when he came to her.. She was one of those women that dust seems to boro no affinity for. “A tidy, neat body,” as the old folks call them, “who always look m if just out of a band­ box.* She quietly cleared away her things from the adjoining seat and they were soon chatting away as though they had been friends for years, instead of the chance acquaintances of « few hours. Her voice was sweet and clear, and her language was refined and cultivated, and ner manners were so free from all affectation, that John felt a composure and a relief from em­ barrassment in her presence that he rarely enjoyed when with other women. The truth was ho was in love; and the girls, fully awake now that there was something to interest them, were not long in understanding the case, and now prepared to tease most heartily the “dear old fellow,” who was as bashful as a schoolboy. But at dusk the city was reached, and after seeing his party safe at the academy John went home to his board­ ing house, so abstracted that he was un conscious of the greetings of old friends. When alone there shone be­ fore hi™ those clear hazel eyes, into whose depths he had looked that day for the first time, but that would ever be remembered. A fair face framed in nut-brown hair, with a smooth brow, and faintly tinted cheeks, made a picture for his memory that he sought to recall clearer and more vividly hour by hour. “A woman who could take care of heraelF hod always been a boasted prodigy that he had challenged his girl friends to find, and now that he Bad known this quiet, demure teacher, he was still dissatisfied.

Proceed, Effie; Grace and May are busy steal­ ing my lead-pencils.” “Now, Jack, yon know wo mean Miss Carlton. She’s the only woman you ever loved, and I don’t wonder you like her. She's tho only teacher that we girls can bear, and wo all just worship । her. Why yesterday, when we were watching for you, Grace got to talking about you; she’s always at that I believe sbo wonts you herself, but sho won't got you. You always did belong to me, didn’t yon. Jack? Bob your head—yes—well, then she told Miss Carlton how you despised women who could not look out for themselves, and how you scolded us for having always such a lot of baggage. And then we all told her about that day she caiue in with us, aud what you hod said about courting the first woman you saw who carried no extra luggage. And I •aid, ‘Well, whoever gets Jack Heed will have an easy time, for he's rich;’ and Groce snapped me up with, ‘Yes, and somebody’ll take him for that, too.’ Miss Carlton’s cheeks Bushed—ain’t she pretty when sho blushes, Jack?— and she said, taking her locket from the ribbon, ‘Hero is a dear, good man, girls,’ and oh! the prettiest face you ever saw; if ho wasn’t her bean I’d have him. And thou sho pushed that little old-fashioned pearl ring farther back on her finger, and sighed. And when May asked her if it was her brother sho said, ‘Oh, no! but he is very dear.* ” Jack's tawny mustache concealed the firmly shut lips, but the wrinkles camo in his forehead, and he looked sad for a moment, but the girls kept him chat­ tering until, satisfied with promises of an unlimited stock of candy the next time bo came, they swept out, taking all the sunshine with them, and leav­ ing tho old law office, ho thought, mustier and darker than ever. So his day dream had bad its rude awakening, his air cMtle was shattered and in ruins, aud his idol tho beloved of another, ho had at first regretted the idle talk of the girls, but it bad at least saved him from paining both the lady and himself by the proffer of au affection that must have been rejected. But so completely had he given his whole heart to her that it did not swerve from her though now he knew how use­ less it was to hope. He had no thought of going to her to try to win from her a response to his pleadings. Sbo knew who to tell that it might reach Ids ears as delicate­ ly as possible, and having road his love by his actions, now wanted him to know how fruitless were his desires. And yet why had she manifested pleas­ ure in hia company, for though she was shy and timid yet she had seemed to onjoy his society, and had always received him with at least apparent gratification. His littje gifts cf flowers and books or music hod been accepted cordially, and, of no intrinsic value, had been carefully kept, and he had dared to hope it might be for his sake. But that was all over now. He would gradually make his visits less frequent and in time he would fade from her memory and then- well, th enJ were the girls; they at least would always be glad to see him. Tho winter and tho spring passed slowly by, for they all missed Jack at the academy m the long evenings dragged by. He came occasionally, always the same old kind fellow, and yet they felt a change they could not describe. Ho was more quiet and still, and yet at times when with Miss Carl­ ton he seemed to forget his troubles and for awhile wm the same romping, scolding “old brother," aa the girls generally called him. But of late his visits were less frequent and he rarely met the little teacher, aa she, too, seemed to avoid him, bnt when she was in the parlor, she took but little part in tho conversation. The school term wore to its close, and the girls, c hattering aud wild m a lot of magpies, surrounded John and pleaded with him to go home with them and have a “good time." and wondered why ho glanced hastily at Miss Carlton and answered, “I’ll go up home with you, Effie, but I cannot star.

The girls looked at each other and then at Miss Carlton, and last but longest at Jack. He was an enigma. The tables seemed turned, and ho alone of tho party wm composed, tho girls being all curiosity, and their ■ companion nervous and restless. • But tho conversation drifted off to : other channels, and soon they were deep in a discussion of the merits of their respective photographs. Jack quietly took one of each; but looked up in Miss Carlton’s face and said: “May I?" She laughingly replied: j “I hardly know. It is the only one I have, and it is promised; but I will have some more soon. I promised it to my uncle in exchange for his, which I wear in my locket By the by, girls, would you beliovo ho could havo changed so much in three years?

But there is a good artist, brother tells me, at home.” Jack leaned across tho way and said, with fun and earnestness strangely blended, "Muv I carry your ‘traps’ the rest of my life?" Tho girls tried to look unconscious, but it was useless. It was too ludicrous, and peal after peal of hearty laughter rung out on the air, and made a spiteful old maid, sit­ ting a few seats away, say crossly, “A lot of school-girls, who don’t know how to behave, making fun of their bettors.” But after awhile Jack changed places with Effie, and when they were all worn and tired out, with tha author­ ity and right that seemed but natural, he quietly unstrapped tho grav shawl and wrap;>ed it about the little woman,’who leaned close to him and let him fix her head comfortably near his shoulder. She seemed to have lost her old, independent ways, and let Jack wait upon her us if he had never declared “he despised a woman who could not take care of herself." So much easier is it to preach than prac­ tice. The girls were delighted,and showed their joy by first hugging Jack and. then Miss Carlton, winding up with a modest petition to the former happy personage for more “chocolate cream," which was so abundantly answered that they were in a state of bliss tor hours. They gave Jack up readily, only pleading for the uncle, who had been a skeleton at the feast for so long, protesting that they must have someDody to love, now that dear old John was” to be taken from them, and with groans and laments of most woeful grief they consigned him to the care of Miss Carlton, who insisted that they only wanted to get rid of himwo they might bewitch another. But Jack only laughed and said: "I told you I’d marry the first woman who traveled without a bushel of baggage, and I am going to.” Her Standard.

Dr. Parker next preached in the “City Temple." In 1873 Dr. Parker att* nded the meeting of the Evangelical Alliance in New York, when he formed tbe personal acquaintance of Henry Ward Beecher. In 1877 Dr. Parker started a weekly journal, which Boon accumulated a largo circulation.

He paused a mo­ ment in bis toilsome journey, and from a slight eminence looked attentively about him. To the east stretched the mysterious marshos through which be had evidently come. To the westward the bills lifted their long, uneven outlines against a sun* less sky. , To the left stretched the barren fields. At tho right of him and standing far back from the traveled road, m if oourting ob­ scurity and loneliness, wm a thick grove of evergreens. Aud -behind these trees, and partially hidden by their boughs, stood on old red brick building, now much dilapidated nnd evidently falling to decay. A row of sol­ emn firs edged the boundary line between the road and the adjacent fields leading up to the old. moss-eaved mansion, and a dirty pond at the foot of the little hill seemed to serve m a drain to the hinds about it. Sonic ducks were now disporting over the turbid surface of the poo!, and their noisy gabble reached the ears of the approaching traveler. He turned from the main road and en­ tered the fields, like one who had once been familiar with the place and its surround­ ings. A few rods brought hira to a double row of cypress trees, standing so near together that their interlacing arms clasped each other above his head. A path, shaded and lonely, led on somewhere between tho trees. He plunged quickly infe this walk, and went on in tbe shadows over tbe hill, beyond the old red house among tbo firs. The walk ended m suddenly as it had begun, the traveler finding himself in a small square inclosure, bordered ou all sides with funereal cypress trees.

Before he could recover himself his antagonist had taken advantage of tho accident, and the next moment Britt wm thrown flat upon his Lack, aud his assailant had clasped him tightly by the throat. The advantage was but momentary. As tbe choking flngera fastened them■elvos about his neck, Britt saw tbo hilt of graap of those utrangiing fingimu The knife sank heavily into Ihe yielding flesh. Something red and warm KpujUxl on hu fee*. Tha finger* relaxed their deadly grip; a heavy body settled slowly down upon him. There was * groan, a gurgle, as of blood rushing, hot and red, from a wound. The dizziness that threatened Britt now overpowered him. He know that ha was saved, but ha could not rise. Tbe leaden, sunless sky seemed to settle down upon hitu. The long arms ot the cypress treae danced like gboetiy spirits before him. Tbe darkness and louehne^ of the grave seecaed to encircle and fold him ia. Bight and feeling fled away, and be lay in the gathering twilight, cold and stiff aud silent as the victim whose body held him to tbe frozen earth. Night came on. A mist that had hung for hours upon the wind gave place to rain. A cold, diimal sleet felt like icy teare upon the two stark faces turned upward to the skies. How long bo lay there unconscious, a’ Erey to the ni«ht and tho storm, Britt never q«w. When ho came to himself, a flue cold rain was falling, aud it wm already night From the' western wing of > The Evergreen* l.e could see tho lamp-light shining from his wife s window. Clear and white, like a star, it twinkled upon him through tho blockness of tbe night and the a'.orm. With difficult? L'e pushed from him the heavy body of his victim, and essayed to rise. He' was stiff from cold, and his muscles rigid. But a determined will conaaered hi tbe and, and he stood up. Then to thought occurred to him for the first time—what should be do with the body of the man be had slain? Ho dared not throw himself upon tho merey of the people by telling boldly the otory of the battle waged and won. There were reasons why the most plaus­ ible tale would find no credence with the people. A thought occurred to him. The cemetery wm a private one, and belonged to hia own estate. It bad nover been used I for burial purposes by any other than the owners of Tho Evergreens. . Few graves were there now. It wns un­ frequented nnd isolated—the very thing for his purpose. Taking nobodv into his confidence, he would himself inter tho body unsided, and thus escape suspicion, and perhaps detec­ tion m welt To aeepro a pick and spado would be tho work of a few momenta. Filled with this idea, Britt suddenly stopped out toward tho cypress walk. But ere he had taken tho second stop tho folly of tho idea became apparent to his mind. Though the snow had disappeared some timo before, the ground wm still fiozen. Alone and unassisted, it would take hours for him to dig a place of sepulture—a Bcpultnre whose silent clods would still be a witness against him. He struck his forehead with his clenched flat. What should ho do ’ Ah! Like lightning flashed through his mind tho Great English Ball Game— Some fit toe Principal Point* Described. What base-ball is to Americans cricket is to Englishmen, and if en­ thusiasm is shown over the national game on this side, equally great is that displayed' over cricket in England. It i« impossible to say when cricket was first introduced m a popular game in England, bnt according to Motcg WAITING FOB THE BALL. and Queries tho first mention made of cricket os a game was in an account of some legal proceeding* held at Guild­ ford. in Kent, in tho year 1593, in re­ spect to the right of some land. A Mr. Derrick says in his evidence: “When he^was- a scholler in the free school .of Guldeforde he and several! of his fellowewtfid runne and play there at cricket and other plaiea, and also that the same was used for the baytingo of beares in the said*towno. un­ til tho said John Parvish did inclose the said parcell of land.” Whatever cricket may have been in 1593, it is quite certain that it was not nearly as popular m it is in 1887. La­ dies are particularly fond ctf looking on at it. and tbo remarks they make are quite characteristic of tbe fair sex : “Oh, what h that funny man doing with a club in his hand before those three sticks?" “Oh! look, dear; there is that horrid man going to throw the ball at him again. I’m sure he'll hurt him.” “What are ail those men stand­ ing gaping at?" etc. To answer some of these questions, and at the same time attempt to make the game clear, is the object of this article. To begin SWIPING THE BALL. The next moment, he etruck wildly. thought of a well—old, dry, long disused. In this well he equid hide the evidence of his crime. Britt seized the body, and, with superhuman E'rougtb. bore it from the cemetery,The rain was still falling slowly ns he made hia way. with difficulty, down the cyprers walk; but th? icy drops, as they splMhed hie face, made no impression thereon. He reached the well. A few rotten boards covered its yawning mouth. To throw them aside was tbe work of an instant. To pash the body in'o tho unknown depths that now opened to receive it was quickly done. As the body fell Britt leaned h:s head altoulively over tha well, listening for the heavy thud which would attest its dcsecuL lint there wm no sound. Disap* pointed. Britt peered anxiously through the dirkness in o the depths of the well, but he could perceive nothing. The darkness wp« iu*'»re. He could not see Lis ha-ad before bi tn.

Give them the habit of it and tha knowledge to understand when they should tako themselvee in hand.

There are eleven players on u aide, each under the charge of a captain, whose word is law. When one side is “in.” that is, batting, the other hide is “out," fielding.' The “out" side is distributed about tbe field a cording to the following diagram: u 6j gp E 10 ■ *—Batamcn. V L’—Umpires.

If the bowling be slow and the batsman a heavy hitter, then he will place hia “fields" away cut, taking a man off probably from behind - the wicket and putting h m “overhead” or behind the bowler to look oat for “catches." If, on the other hand, the bowling ia swift is required in laying out s good cricket ground and maintaining the same in proper order. As a general rnle the shorter and more level the turf can bo got the better. As we have said, donble wicket, i. e., a batsmen st both ends, require* two aides of eleven players each, the choice ot first inning being decided by tossing a coin. Two batsmen go in, one at each wicket, and the object of the fielders and the bowler is to dislodge them according to the rules of the game. A batsman may be put “ont” either by his wickets or “stumps” being knocked down by the ball bowled by the bow­ ler. or ho may be “caught out,” that is, the ball being oanght by a fielder with­ out its having touched the ground after leaving his bat He may also be “stumped" by the wicket-keeper if ho happens to have the ball in his hand and the batsman is outside the pop­ ping-crease, cither having gone out of his ground to plav a ball or when run­ ning between wickets. If the batsman knocks down his own wicket when playing a ball ho is also “out," or if he stops a ball that wonld have other­ wise hit,Ids wicket with any part of his person he is out; 1. b. w.—i. e., leg be­ fore wicket ( The other strikers go in by rotation as arranged by their captain. When a ball is hit the batsman may, if possi­ ble, score a run by reaching tho oppo­ site popping-creaae before the wicket is put down, each timo he does this «nccerafully counting as one run. When there is timo each aide has two innings, and that side scoring the largest num­ ber of runs is the winner. Otherwise both aides may agree to decide the is- BOWLING. suo on tho reeult of ono inning apiece, and it ia sometimes arranged to allow six ball* in each over instead of four. An “over," it may be explained, is the number of balls bowled by each bowler. At the end of each “over” the whole ot the fielders change their po­ sitions, another bowler delivers an over from the opposite wicket, and so on al­ ternately. Batting may be said to be divided in­ to “forward” and “back play,” accord­ ing m the batsman stretches forward to meet the ball or keeps tbe body perpendicular or slightly inclined back­ ward. To this may be added the “cut” and the “leg hit." The fielders must forever bo on the lookout to stop the ball and return it to the wicket-keeper smartly and without any “muffing.” And now enough has been said to en­ able even a tyro to understand the noble game, and for those who do not care for base-ball and want some kind of a game for exercise, tho best advice we can give is to try cricket It is never too late to learn a good thing.

A team belonging to Andrew Ruse, of Maple Grove, was frightened by the lightning on Tuesday afternoon, while standing near Charles McMore'a shop, and ran away, demolishing the buggy to which they were attached. They ran across the iron bridge and were cap­ tured on Kellogg’s addition. David Dixon’s team was hitphftd in front of F. C. Boise’s store last Satur­ day afternoon, and in attempting to back them ont the neckyoke fouled C. Fowler’s buggy, which was overturned smashing the top completely oft. Mr. Dixon promptly took the broken vehi­ cle to the shop and had it repaired. H. A. Durkee secured a judgment in Justice Mills’ court Thursday in an attachment suit against C. R.

Tliis law will be rigidly enforced, and it is hoped that parents and guardians will take timely warning, and see that those under their charge be regularly in school, thereby avoiding the neces­ sity of sending them away. Mrs. H. L. Walrath died at her home in this village nt 3 o’clock last Tuesday afternoon, of blood-poisoning. De­ ceased was the elder daughter of Jas. Fleming, and was 33 years of age. She leaves a hosbuid and two small children. The family were ail present during her last hours, her brother Dean from Jackson, arriving shortly before her death. She was born at Albion, Mich., December 26th. 1863, and was married to Herbert L. Walrath Decem­ ber 29th, 1881. Mrs. Walrath has many warm friends in the village, who sin­ cerely mourn her untimely death. The funeral occurred at the residence at half-past ten o’clock Thursday morn­ ing, Rev. F.

The editor of The News not only be­ lieves this, but practices it—very often at a personal sacrifice. Our obligations have been unusually pressing this fall, and, having in view the accommoda­ tion of subscribers, whom we thought too busy to come to town, we have, during the past few weeks, visited the post offices at Vermontville, Assyria, Lacey, Dowling, Woodland, Bellevne, Kalamo, Delwood, Bismark and Coats Grove, to receivekubscriptions due us. A few responded cheerfully, but the great majority paid no attention what­ ever, to the call, giving us the impres­ sion that they'didn’t care n darn wheth­ er they paid their debts or not. Possi­ bly if they were the editor and wo the subscriber, and had received like treat­ ment they would feel very bitter about it. However we’ll not be uncharitable and say that their failure to respond was premeditated and intentional, but shall now look—liaviug performed our duty—for a prompt remittance of all amounts due The News. 11. M. Lee’s new place of business in the Boise block, is without doubt, the finest clothing store between Jackson and Grand Rapids. The salesroom is 22x102 feet, is well-lighted and venti­ lated, and is fitted up expressly for a clothing store. The neat shelving and draws underneath are finished in nat­ ural woods of ash and cherry, and in lieu of counters, (which have long since gone out of date in clothing stores) their are eight broad tables upon which to display suits. A handsome case in the front part protects a fine line of hats aud gents neck wear. An ample office constructed of calico ash and cherry after modern improved plana, occupies a central position on the north side of the store. The workmanship is of the highest character throughout. The boot and shoe stock will be sold from the old store, the new being de­ voted exclusively to clothing goods. Upon the whole it is a remarkably fine salesroom even fora much more pre­ tentious place than Nashville and we congratulate Mr. Lee upon his good fortune in acquiring so elaborate a place of business. But of course, every­ one will want to see it for himself. MICHIGAN CENTRAL EXCURSIONS.

Mr. Peck was a man whoso vindictive feelings would at ray time overbalance his judgment, and he now proceeded without delay to fulfill his threata. It is perhaps unnecessary to say that this ston describes boys not ns they ought to l>e, but as they wore in the neighborhood where its scene is located. The npplo crop was super­ abundant that fall, and the well-known and highly appreciated indulgence of Air. Nor­ ris was sufficient lo furnish all the fruit that the juveniles could desire: but t>ecause "old Peck" had driven them harshly away they were not satisfied short of eating hia apples. In the convention held at recess ho was unanimously voted “a stingy old hunks,' and it was determined that his orchard should bo robbed. Tho attempt was made one dark night soon after the conversation we have detailed. A(dozen boys of from twelve to fifteen years secretly left thoir beds, rad assembling near Mr. Feck's orchard, silently scaled the high wall rad begun their foray. It had hardly commenced when a deep growl from the distance warned them of impend­ ing danger. Tbe retreat was hasty, but successful; ono of tbo boys suffering a severe bite in tho calf of the log as ho mounted tho wall. It may be fdded that the same boy endured some of the pains of martyrdom in tho next week, while res­ olutely keeping tho knowledge of this occurrence from his parents. Two days after this occurrence Mr. Peck's ferocious dog was found dead. He hail been poisoned. •The rage of tho owner was unbounded. Ho callod at the school rad emptied the vials of his wrath; but tho master informed him that the case was clearly one for par­ ental discipline—provided ho could find the guilty parties. Ho thou visited every homo that sent a boy to School, rad de­ manded the summary punishment of that boy. Mr. Peck was hardly more a favorite with the grown-up people of the neighbor­ hood than with the boys; but this was a rerious matter, rad an investigation wm mode to find the culprits. It is unneces­ sary to say that they were not found. Boys who will' do the things that I have de­ scribed will never hesitate to cover up their tracks by lying; rad so it was here. Money was flowing into Mr. Peck's hands for tho products of his orchard; so long as he felt that a single apple was leing taken without payment, ho was bound to” bo miserable. His next resort was a spring-gun, wnich''he rigged up one afternoon and set in the orchard. A loud noise from it that night awoke him, rad h® rushed out, only to find the gun demol­ ished rad useless. It afterward transpired that tho operation of setting it had been watched by some interested parties through a chink in the wnll. For one whole week following did Mr. Peck lie in wait each night for the thieves, and he did not see one of them. There was at least one old head upon young shoul­ ders among the offenders, and the word had been passed round that the orchard must not be molested again until the pro­ prietor had sufficient time to "cool off." That unhappy proprietor was enraged, dis­ gusted and mystified. He had tried every remedy but on« for the evils that afflicted him, rad to this one he now resorted with reluctance. What it was will appear further It was a moonlight night when the boys next made an incursion into Mr. Peck's orchard. They filled their pockets with tbe fruit, they ate more than they wanted, he spirits of tbo storm* their weary forma. and then they proceeded to hang up to a limb an effigy of the owner, which they had brought along with great trouble rad'difficulty. It was after midnight when they were safe in the highway again, and then their mirthful mood was somewhat dis­ •BT JAMES FHANKLI^i FITTS. turbed by the near approach of a borao and baggy.

Last Days of Edward VL If princes are indulged in their life­ time, their hour of death has often been cruel. Tbo event that brings compaaaion to the least tenderly cored . for has come to kings with the compli­ cation of politic®, with calculations and hardness and anything rather than hu­ manity. Boyal death has been lied about and betted upon as part of the "situation” rather than the ending of a life. The angel ha® been smuggled in by the back way and hidden behind the arras, and bustled away again in* disguise when he is sent to summon a king's soul. And no death has been more solitary and more pathetic, be­ cause of its importance, than the pass­ ing away of King Henry VIIL’s con­ sumptive little son. The ambassador, as quoted by Mr. Froude, writes to Charles V. on the 4th of July, 1553: “As to the King's health, sire, it is still j tho same as I wrote to you on the 27 th ult. Since then ho has been shown at a window in Greenwich, where many naw trim, but in such a plight, so weak ! and wasted, that the people said it woe death.

AtJ this writing Chicago and Detroit are play­ ing their last aeries of th* year, upon th* Detroit ground*; and upon the rc*u)t ot these depend, to a very great extent, Chi­ cago'! chances for the pennant. The si agger* were never in belter form. Their two crack pitchers, Getzein and Gruber, are quite as effective as anybody’* pitchers, while the big batters are hitting; the ball unmercifully. No matter how many runs the,opposition mav make, tho heavy hitters seem always able to pound out a greater number, .lust at this time, when all the wiseacres were predicting their downfall, the Detroit* are playing by long odd* the best ball seen on League diamond* this year. Their Eastern trip has been a. round of *uec<^ses. and Detroiters predict that their team will increase their lead after their return home. The Chicago* left homo three weeks agoa tie with their reval*. But the trip ha» turned out somewhat badly. They lost two games out of three m Pittsburg, two ont of three in New York, one of two in Wa-hiuL’ton. and one of tbe two champion­ ship games played in Philadelphia. A year ago this date the outlook was much brii^ter for Chicago. Captain An­ son’s meu had won 7o games and lost 24F while Detroit had won only G8 and lost 37. Even then Detroit came near beating Chi­ cago out. Now the shoe is on the other .d foot, and the champions have the uphill F before them. During the team's Eastern trip Anson signed a new player, of whom be think* particularly weU. His .name is Robert I’ettitt. and Chicago paid tbo Wilkesbarro (Ps.) Club $.500 for hi* release. Fettitti* a blonde, with blue eyes and a small, red­ dish mustache, and is built after the race­ horse style of Pfeffer and Van lisltren. He is about 24 years old. Before hejoined the WiJkesbarrc nine he used to-, play with the Waterbury* in tho Eastena League. Manager Mack, of the Wilke*barre Club, in speaking of tbe new man. says:’ “Petlitt i* the best general player I ever saw. He ia a cracking good pitcher aud backstop, and os a short-range fielder he is ahead of them alh I think him Denny’s equal at third.sand a* a bu*e run­ ner he Lu not an equal in the International) League. He has been with us nearly two months, and in all that time be has nevex been caught stealing a base, although ho is purloining them right along. He is a temble left-handed batter, but when oc­ casion require* it hn is equally effective with his right I have no hesitation iu say­ ing he will make a great hit in the Chicagonine." Captain Anson has decided to play Pettitt in the right field for the present When the reorganization of the club come* next season, a* it sorely will, the youngster will prot>ably be found in the infield. President Spalding, of the Chicago Club, is evidently not worried a* to the final out­ come of th. jiennat.t race. A correspondent found him in his office, nt 10K Madison street, the other dsy. just after he had re­ turned from hi* Eastern vacation trip. He oaick “We aro in the best position, under the circumstances, that a club could occupy. We ar* making a sharp, stern race. The responsibility of leading the league is * severe and wearing one.

A Sunday of Terror in Nashville. s During the early part of the civil strife General John Morgan served tte generous people of Pulaski, Tenn., and vicinity a very shabby trick, for which they have probably never forgiven him. It was a cue of slighted hospitality that tho people of tho South would never brook. Though General Morgan was not solely to blame for it, the old residents of that section still hold a grudge against his memory. On’ tho first occupancy of that sec­ tion by tho Federal authorities, tho practice was adopted ot leaving a com­ mand at every town in order to keep the-poople in subjection. The result was a very rapid depletion of tho ad­ vancing forces. Pulaski, with tbe othei places, wm made a military post o| this kind, and tho Seventh Kentucky Infantry wont into camp there. On< day the great Confederate scout, with his tend, swooped dowu upon the vil­ lage and captured tho 1 ttle Fedora) army and all of tbo stores and aoconferments of war. In fact, so rapiq was General Morgan’s descent that be­ fore the boys in blue were aware of th« presence of Confederate soldiers they were surrounded by cavalry and or­ dered to surrender. Being outnum: bored and in no condition to show fight, they gracefully capitulated, and were paroled by the Confederate officer.. General Morgan was then tho horo of the hour. He rode a fine black horse with a flowing mane and tail, and his fine figure and dauntless cour­ age captivated the hearts of the Pn-; laski ladias. They idolized him, and; begged for meritentoe of tbe .event, which demand he attempted to supply; by clipping bits of tbe long hair from the mane aud tail of his chargor until the animal was almost shorn of these members. Straightway arrangements were sot in motion to give a barbecue in honor of General Morgan. A subscription was started among tho men, and the women folks set about preparing all sorts of delL-ocies for tbe fcasL \\ ord was sent to tbo farmers and planters to come tbo Morgan banquet with wollfllled bMkets. As a matter of coarse they responded and gathered together the choicest of their bounty for the occMion. Un the morning of tho day set for tho feMt, General Sigel loomed upon the scene, an unwelcome guest, but with a sort of "yust gomes to god a leodle of der bieme alreodv." As tho town was too small to bold two great mon, General Morgan retired, and about ns suddenly ns ho came a few days before. General Sigel’s descent had been by a dextrous movement, and tefore tho people wore informed of the presence of Federal troops they were patrolling the outskirts. No. word could thus be sout to the plant­ ers informing them that the Morgan festivities had been postponed for ob­ vious reasons. So they drove into town with their wagons and carriages filled with good things. Tho Union boys were apprised of their mission and per­ mitted them to pass within the lines. As long tables had been arranged in the grove ready to groan beneath t'nis bounty, tbe Federal boys thought tho picnic might os well proceed, and if General Morgan was not pre-ient it was ■his own loss. So thfcy collected the eatables brought in by tho planters, set tho tables, and, unliko tbe feast of Biblical times, the stock did not in­ crease, but there were several basket­ fuls left after it was over, which wore utilized for lunch. Tho boys had just come off of a long march, wore hungry, and doubtless enjoyed the feast with a keener relish than would Morgan and bis men had they remained. It was during (laneral Sigel’s occu­ pancy of Pulaski ttaat he issued his famous verbal order, “I shust shuts mine eyes for one hours.” The scenes and incidents that took -place in*Nashville, Tenn., on theSatur-day night and Sunday of the attack -and fall of Fort Donolsou aro mem­ orable events in the history of that -city. The story is a graphic one. The dollowing sketch is compiled from a narration of tho exciting acenes by a Union man who was ia Nashville at rtbe time: The Confederates were loath toenteritain an idea that ttio Union army •would over reach Nashville. That city was thought to te secure, aud hence it was made a place for the general stor­ age of army supplies. At tho date of -the Fort Donolsou fight Nashville was .full of army stores.

The attack ujxin Fort Donolsou .raised the first alarm for the safety of the Tennessee capital. During' the progress of the battle all sorts of de­ vices were fesorted to in order to allay <he fear among tho people. On Solnrday night preceding the fall of this dort the city was full of people eager 4o hear the news, but do dispatches were made public. So eager became the populace that a bogus dispatch was finally read to tho crowd in front of •one of the hotels. It purported to te drum the Confederate authorities at Jort Donolsou and read as follows: “We have whipped the Yankees at ••very point aud captured o ie gun." This wm tte only dispatch made pub­ lic, and ita transparency rather served to increase the fears of the people. They thronged the street and rushed hither and thither, seemingly without •aim or object Sunday morning came, but still no news from Donelson.

It is of the subsequent battles, in­ cluding all tho battles of the Army of Northern Virginia up to the campaign of IBM, that I cm deal with. I recollect the preliminaries of two or three battles as distinctly as I do tho events of yesterday, and I recollect, moreover, how I felt when tho order to strip for battle wm given. But what I wish to pive an idea of is the conduct of a regiment when in actual battle. There arc three battles in which I was engaged that especially recur to my memory, for the reason that the fight­ ing wm fierce and the loss on l>oth sides heavy. Those were Frazier’s Farm, second Manassas, and Seven Pines. I moan to stale that in theeff battles our regiment lost most heavily. Before tbe latter of these battles some of my comrades wore immediately be­ hind the fighting line, and before'they could roll up their blankets they were called into the fight by their officers. The. old story th*t the boys lesru in tho columns of the “zEneid”—when speaking of tho sol­ dier element—“furor iraque men tern precipitant," had no exhibition in the war between the State?, or be­ tween these men in line of battle. The men M a rule stood off and shot at long-range ax each other. When they got to cloae quaaterA, ar.d they wary lighting body to body and man to man, then, of course, as I have!; above staled, there were angry pausiods developed by the contestants which did not apply to the body proper of the armies on Doth sides in any Oecaaionol engagement.

H Loring m En­ gineer-in-chief of tbe Navy and Chief of the Bureau of Steam Engineering, wm born in tho city of New York, Jan. 10, 1841. Ho wm educated partly in the Academy of the Christian Broth­ ers and partly in the Polytechnic School ef New York. At the age of 17 years he entered the EMt Brooklyn engine shops m a machinist apprentice. Three years later, in July, 1861. he was appointed as assistant engineer in the navy and was soon ordered to duty with the Flying Squadron, serving first on the Dakota and then on the Santi­ ago de Cuba, under Wilkes. From thia vessel ho wm transferred to the Wachusett' and promoted to past as­ sistant. He made two cruises in the Wachnsett, and wm aboard of her when she captured the Confederate corsair Florida, in Bahia Roads. The following year he was employed in tor­ pedo service. After the war Mr. Mel­ ville served in the Chattanooga, the Penobscot, and the LancMter. He was then chosen as engineer of the Tigress, in the Hall relief Arctic expedition, after which he made a cruise in the Tennessee. Mr. Melville was se­ lected m chief engineer of the Jean­ nette, and his exploits in the escape of her crew from the ioo pack by way of Siberia, have given him undying fame in the annals of Artic exploration. It is not disputed that, but for the iron en­ durance and the unfailing courage of Melville, no part of the crew of the Jeannette would have ever seen home again. . Melville was selected for Arc­ tic service as chief engineer of the Thetis and fleet engineer of the Greely relief squadron under the command of Commodore Schley. Mr. Melville's recent duties havo teen altogether on shore in positions requiring particular expertnesa m a machinist Ardudwy. It is the men of Ardudwy who quarry the rich veins of slate which lie about Festiniog, and it is they who made the fortune of Lord Palmerston, who, from a poor man in his youth, gradually be­ came rich, people hardly knew how. The great quarry of Ardudwy wm the cause of it; that Welsh slate company, of which Lord Palmerston was a chief shareholder, which, after many years of perpetual drain upon ita proprietors, became eventually a source of almost boundless wealth. began tho work of reclaiming that Jost country, where his uncAtors may havo held dominion over subject cities. That Traeth Mawr already referred to, tho estuary which forms the boundary between Merioneth and Caernarvon, was bordered on each side by extensive marshes and sands, overflowed by the tide, an amphibious district, neither land nor water. Projectors had often looked askance at the task of reclaim­ ing this land. Sir Hugh Myddleton, the engineer of the New River, was sounded about undertaking the busi­ ness a couple of centuries ago and more, but declined, m “grown into years and.full^of business at the mynes, the river at London and other places,* but significantly remarked that tho un­ dertaking required “a whole man with a large purse.” And thus the matter rested till 1807, when Mr. A Madocks, a whole man doubtless, but of no very largo purse, obtained a grant from the crown of its righto in the drowned lands, and began the work of reclama­ tion. The plan adopted was to carry a great bank of stone right across the river mouth, shutting out the tide and allowing tbe river flow to escape by sluice gates. Sometimes tbo tide re­ fused to te shut out, and carried away the works; at others, the river floods burst through with like effect.

HOWABD BENT’S DECEIT. ■VVANTED—An honest, active intelligent vv boy about 16 year* old, as clerk In a gro­ cery store. No one using tobacco need apply. . .B. F. Jones A Co. This advertisement appeared in the village paper, and was the first tiling that Mm. Bent's saw aa she took it ap to read the news. "Just the place for Howard,” she said as she finished reading it for tlie second time. Sixteen—that’s just his age. He’s honest, ^active, intelligent nnd don't use tobacco. He lias often said that he would like a position in some store. 1 wilkrun down and see Mr. Jone* at once, for fear some one may get ahead of him.” Mrs. Bent was alone in her bouse when she uttered these words, and ad­ dressed them to no one save henelf. Site was a widow, aud the boy site was referring to was her only child. He waa absent on tins day visiting an un­ cle, and would not return till night. She thought she would see about die position at the store., and perhaps she would have some good news for her boy on ilia return. She lived near die edge of the village, a half mile from Jones’ store, as it was commonly exiled. An hour later found her in the office of Jones & Co., reciting a few of the many virtues which in the blindness of a de­ voted mother she believed her boy po­ ssessed. “There b one point on which we are very particular,” said Mr. Jones. “Our firm has decided to have no one in our employ who use* tobacco.” "You needn’t fear that Howard will ever do that. He would no sooner use tobacco than poison. I have taken great pains in teaching him to shun the evil ways so many boys of his age fall into, and feel proud of him on account of his freedom from bad habits.” “I have noticed that yoar son teems to be an active, intelligent sort of a boy, and I have no doubt of hb honesty. If be will call here thb afternoon at 4—” “He is absent to-day and will not be home till evening.” “Very well, to-morrow morning at ten will do. I would like to have a abort interview with him, and will come to some decision during the day.” Mm. Bent returned home, elated with the prospect that seemed opening be­ fore her son. She already saw him in­ stalled as clerk, pictured him gaining in popularity, and in the uKteein of bis employers until be became a memlter of the firm and was able to furnish her a home of comfort and ease. Howard came home a little before tlie time set for bis return, but hb mother was watching for him and met him at the door. “Oh, Howard. I lisvu'good news for you,” were her first words as he opened tlie gate and came up tht walk. “They want a clerk at Jones’ store, and I think you can get the position if you try. 1 saw Mr. Junes and be said you might call on him to-morrow at 10 o’clock.” “The very thing uncle told ine about, and I esmu home a littlq, ekrly on pur pose to talk with you sbyut.lt. Uncle says rt is a sphmdjd dianoe for the right kind of a Itoy." Anti he Haid'ho would do all becould U) help me gut the place; but it seems yoii ntu ulieud of hiiu. If I can only get a plate in a store and be earning something I shall be so glad.” “One thing they are very particular about,” said the mother. “They will not employ anyone who smokes, or usee tobacco in any form. I felt proud that I could tell them that you waafree from such * filthy habit.” A slight color came to Howard’s face, but his mother noticed nothing as she proceeded : “1 don’t know why they in­ sist so strongly on this point, unless it b on neconnt of the-fire that csrse ao near destroying their store. You know they thought the tire started from the cigar of one of the clerks. I know they discharged him Mie dext'day, and I do not t|iink they bjkvedmd a derk who smoke* since th ep.” The next day, precisely at Un o’clock, Howard Bent stepped mto'the office of Jones & Co. During the brief interview he very creditably impressed himself upon the members of the firm, and ar­ rangements were made for him to en­ ter their employ at once. Wages would be small at first, but the promise was given that they would be increased.jMt an fast an be •hetild make bis services more valuable.1 He wan to board ut know ns I care fer him to leave the led to that in the companionship of store; I’ve got use for him there, if he such low characters aa Dick Bray. will only be a little more social.

I’d be independent ’bout my own affairs if I had to paddle in that gutter for a livin’. So long as you don’t smoke under their nose it’s just none of their business.” "Well, I don’t knowaboat that,” said Howard slowly, “they have their rules, and so long as I am in their employ I shall have to respect them—or seem to do so at least.” “Don’t they keep cigars to sellf” in quired Dick. “Yes.” . “Well, what’s the difrciicc, I’d like ter know ; ain’t it as bad to sell tilings an it is to use it yerselff” “What I wish bthat I had your place and the handlin' of them cigars,” be continued, with a furtive glance at Howard. “But you’ve such squeamish notions aa jest spoils ye far a chum.

Through the iutiuence of Dick aud a few of hb companions Howard hail learned to smoke about two months previous. He had now got so as to en­ joy hi* cigar, but he would gladly have quit it if it had not been for the contin­ ual influence of these associates. The country town in which the store of Jones & Co. stood did not have those safeguards against tire and burglary which are found in larger places. Thb store bad barely escaped a terrible tire, and brrglars had attempted several times to enter it To guard against these, a small room at the rear of the store had been fitted up for a sleeping room, to be occupied by one of their most trustworthy clerks. Thb room had a system of alarm bells so connected with tho front of the Btoro that no one could enter at night with­ out arousing tlie occupant. It was also connected by telephone with tlie room* of each proprietor, so that immediate notice could bfa given of auy disturb­ ance. About six months after the opening of our story the clerk who had occupied this room for several years, was taken sick, and someone mu«t take hb place. After some hesitation on account of bis youth, it was decided to let Howard Bent till hb place. In doing this tiie proprietor spoke with him of its re­ sponsibility, and of the confidence they placed in him. They took thb occasion to raise his wages to well repay him for extra efforts in faithfully carryiug out their wbbee.

The GRAND RAPIDS HAND MADE BOOTS AND SHOES have become so well-known to the Public and have been so tboronghly tested that it ‘is snperflnous to praise them to those who are familiar with their many excellent qualities. To those who have not tried them we say, they are BETTER BEYOND COMPARISON THAN ANY OTHER BOOTS AND SHOES MADE. Their great success and an ever-increasing demand speaks more than anything we could say in their favor. The Grand Rapids Hand-Made Boots and Shoes are thoroughly good in every particular, made from Selected Stock and no Paste Board, Leather Board, Paper, or any other deleterious stock io them and as the only authorized agents of the Grand Rapids Hand­ Made Boots and Shoes we are instructed to warrant every pair.

If the officer* of district No. 4 had retained a certain pedagogue tn their high school for a term of years wc don't think a certahi newspa­ per correspondent would bear down quite so bard on the village of Woodland.

Those living along the line of Mud Creek are very foolish not to sign tlie petition pre­ sented to them by Mr. Schweitzer; for tt must occur to them that Sunfield will not stand If much longer to have the water backed up ou that township. Having drained their land into and opened and straightened the channel up to the county line, they are patiently‘awaiting some action from this township. A resident of Eaton county told us recently that if Wood­ land did not open up Mud Creek of her own accord Sunfield wonld force her to do so.* How does it come that the rorreajiondent to the Barry County Democrat knows how much “liquid damnation’' is dispensed from Wood­ land drug stores, unless he is one of the many who wane from that section jof the country to get whiskey for “medicinal " purposes. We tear that said correspondent has not taken the profewlon in life for which hi* early education flitted him for, as his “scriptural" quotations shows that he was intended to follow some more useful occupation than that of a corres­ pondent for a local -paper, or an advertisement for a Woodland drug store. All citizen* of our village and township who are interested in the growth and prosperity of said village and township should see to it that sneb papers aa the NssnviLUt News aud Ha tings Banner, aud ail other paper* whose edi­ tors and correspondents are alive to the inter­ ests of our county and township and villages. and who do not put in extra time booming some other county or village, are well patronized. Look to it that the subscription* to the papers mentioned are doubled, and see that a similar decrease is reported of such papers as take de­ light In trying through their columns, to boom every county but the one they Hye tn. When will people learn that the growth and prosperi­ ty of a place depends, almost wholly, upon tiie local press. Nashville owes a good share of her prosperity to the efforts of Thb Naws, while Hasting* may be egld to be indebted In a like manner to The Banner. Now while we have no such enterprise located in our village It is ! our duty to patronize those papers that through their correspondent* are endeavoring to build i up and stand by our village. Fanners should learn that the growth of our village means an increase to the value of their farms: in fact an Increase tn wealth Iu one part of tiie township means an Increase of wealth in another part, while a decrease has a corresponding effect.

For wives, as a class, have no spending money, and are rarely cogniz­ ant of their husband's true business condition. Is this just to the being a man has promised to honor as well as to love? Women are accused of being "mean," and any one who has ever served on a collecting committee knows how, in forming a list of possible sub­ scribers, name after name is omitted with the remark, “No use going to her; she never givee," or, “She has no money," and yet the husband of “she" ia invariably a man of means or ample professional income, who pays extrav­ agant household and personal bills for his family, usually with grilling good­ nature.

One would suppose 160 years wm tho average length of life, if we took a lady’s word a? to the dividing line. It is doubtful if tbe gorgeous, soft splen­ dor of plush fruit or velvet flowers will ever amount to more than the decoration of the wholesale dealers* counters.

In old literature there occur many indiscriminate allegations as to femi­ nine frivolousnees, talkativeness, and general indiscretion. The offense is ancient, and charges so broad and indiscriminate are unworthy disputa­ tion. The ancient satirist went on st great length to show that all these frailties were prodigiously apparent when a woman went fishing. Lord Angler, in those days, would don his velveteens, his high-topped boots, provide himself with a book of flies, a basket of lunch, which was chiefly done up in flasks, shoulder hia rod, nnd without a show of invitation to any of the ladies go selfishly off for a day’s fishing. Now, almost every boat carries a lady angler, and ,her bright flannel fishing suit and broad straw hat make a cheerful showing in piscatorial re­ treats. It is generally acknowledged that some of the very best anglers in tho country are women. They excel in adaptability and fer­ tility of resource, and possess in a high degree two important elements—pa­ tience and perseverance—which go to make up a successful angler. They, alas! have too much conscience, and sometimes fall behind in competition with tho men in stories about their takes. The ladies at our Northwestern re­ sorts have evidently realized this sum - mer the pleasures to be derived from this amusement, and its lakes and streams are tangled with their lines. It takes muscle to hold the lightest rod, and some of the less en urgeting take to trolling. W’o know of one young lady up at White Bear Lake, who spent many mornings under the awning of a light boat, trolling line in hand, while “Dennis,” her good-natured coachman, rowed her gently on. But she never caught anything. She wits asked if she did not grow tired fishing with no re­ suite. “Gracious, no!" she replied. “Why, I wouldn’t catch a fish for any con* sideration. It is all right to troll, but were a fish u> bite I should have to draw tho line in, perhaps rapidly. ’1 hen Dennis would havo to stop rowing, and I should have; to help him take it oil* tho hook, and then we would havo tbe damp thing flopp ng around in tho boat until wo could land. Ah, no!” with a yawn. “I wouldn’t catch ono for the world.” But sho was voted tho laziest person at tho lake, and all tbe women snubbed A gentleman, however, tells of an­ other who. in very rough water, struck a fish, and was wide-awake to land her prize. She played that fish for fifteen minutes, ana in spit© of the waved, which nearly upset the boat, landed a big black bass weighing over five pounds. Ho says that young angler displayed more pluck, coolness, and skill than many a male disciple of St. Peter could have commanded. What the Boy Costs. Taking as a text the words of a young man, “My father never did any­ thing for me,” the Buffalo Ejcpritof preaches a little Sermon and pro­ duces some figures that ought to have a good effect on youth who entertain such unfilial ideas: ‘ This young man, to tbe knowledge of tho writer, has never done one month’s actual work for others in his entire life. His life has been passed in the pleasant pastimes of the home circle, in reading, study, hunting, fishing, ball-playitig, yachting, and other em­ ployments not particularly beneficial to others. He is a type of that class of boys whose parents are sufficiently well-to-do to keep servants to attend to the household drudgery, and whose fathers follow vocations in which no use can be made of the boy’s spare hours. Like most boys of his class, he looks upon his board and clothes for twenty years, together with his pony, jewelry, bicycle, etc., as matters of course.

General Banks’army left Alexandria, La, on its retreat to the Mississippi in May, 1864, and a few days previous the subject of this sketch was intro­ duced to me, then an infantry Captain, who had been for some time servant­ lean. Tlie Orderly Sergeant one morn­ ing thrust his head into my tent and •aid with something like a grin that son'f of- the boys who had been out foraging had brought in a fellow that would suit me. I went out—and Jonah was before me. Would that I could faithfully photo­ graph him. With all my experience with the negro race in Louisiana, this was the queerest specimen of it that I had seen. No exaggerated picture on the posters of a minstrel troupe ever sur­ passed him in what I may call real oullandixhnce*. He was black; to •ay that be was dark does not convey an adequate idea of his complexion. His hair was kinked all over his head in stubborn knots; his lipa turned up­ ward and downward in a rich pout; his white teeth and eyeballs gleamed from their dusky surroundings. He was tall, lank, loose-jointed, long-armed, and with such hands and feet as have never yet been modeled. A great plantation straw bat covered his head; his feet were bare; he wore a suit of striped cotton, and carried a small bnndle in his hand. His unique appearance had attracted a dozen of the company to the spot, and they stood by, ready for fan. But Jonah was all business. He had been a house servant on a plantation up the Red Biver; the appearance of our army hod frightened away his “ole xnas’r" and scattered tho negroes. “Some gone dis Way. some dat," was his own language as to what had fol­ lowed. “Some gone down de nbber to 'list in de Cordij Freak. Some loafs about in de woods and de fields. An’ some follows yo* army. I’se ono ob dem last. I likes de nrilit’ry, and Tso goin’ along wid yo’. Dat is, if I can be secant ob a captain.” There was a certain originality as well as grotesqueness about tho fellow, that captivated mo nt once. For the rurpoao of hearing his amusing talk, encouraged him to go on. “Why, wouldn’t you be servant to any less officer than a captain?" “My ole maar was a man ob quality, an’ I’se got to keep np de dignity." “Bnt do you know what it is to be a servant in the army ? Won’t you be frightened when you hear firing?" “U, yo’ nebber fear foh Jonah! Hab heard do big guns go off befo’, when all de darkies ran away, an’ Jonah jes’ stood laffin at ’em. . Dat waa up to old mas’r’a house, when de big shells come whoop—whoop! — screech—screech! — whtah, whinh, whish—sh—*h!—troo de trees, and de boys all shake, an' nay he say, 'Where dat mggah ? Where dat niggahF" Hia own broad laughter at the. remiuiscenoe would have been irresistible of itself, bnt his imitation of tho peculiar whistle and scream of a fuse-shell wm ao life-like that he drew a chorus of approving mirth and comment from the listening group of soldiers. “Bat I’m afraid, Jonah, that if I take von you will treat me os the others have done. You'll find the marching too hard, and you will leave me of a sudden, as they did.” “No, eah; I won't! Yo’ jes’ trus’ Jonah for dat When ho *ay he go, he will go; an’ he stick bv yo’, too. The result was that ths lad (he could not Lave been twenty) was duly in­ stalled; and candor compels me to say that tho man Friday of the greatest of all stories of adventure was not more faithful to his master than was Jonah to me. Down the Red aud ths Mississippi to our camp at Morganzia he followed the army in that exciting march, in thp sultry weather and the dual When the Nineteenth Corp* took ship and wsot to sea under sealed orders for sumo unknown destination in the following month, Jonah steadily refused to remain in his native Louisi­ ana. Be had “joined de array" and was bound to “go along wid yo’-11.” Through that eventful summer, on our toilsome march?* over the hills of Maryland and up and down the She­ nandoah Valley, when officers and sol­ diers fell behind from exhaustion, Jonah never faltered. Conveying the Captain's blankets and coffee-pot, he trudged all day far at the rear with the camp-followers. But, half an hour after the halt for the night he waa cer­ tain to appear at company headquar­ ters, full of good-humor aud descrip­ tion of what ho had seen during the day, aud set himself lo work to pre­ pare supper. He could neither read nor write, and after several patient efforts had been made by some of the soldiers to teach him, he gave up tho study for a bad job, philosophically remarking: "Nebber saw no use in um for niggah, nohow.” Tbe men among whom he was thrown at first attempted to make a butt of him; bnt his quickness And hia native wit soon made them cautious of trying any jokes on him, for he was sure to get more than even, in tbe end, with the person venturing it. His fund of drollery and his talent for mimicry soon became the entertainment of the whole company. He waa quick to seize upon any marked peculiarity of sjieech or manner that he noticed; and whenever C shout of laughter came from tho fires around which the soldiers gathered at night I could be certain that Jonah was edifying the crowd with an imi­ tation of the Adjutant on drees parade, or describing bow General This or Colonel That acted on review. Hia steady practice, if not his rale of life, was to attend to the things of tho present, and nst bother himself about the future. "After de wah,” ho would say, “an’ befoh de end ob hint, Jonah mebbe bo whsh dey aint no walk Mebbo yo’ bo dah, too. Den whah de use askin’ what we do when de wah dono end? Mebbe do wah last forty years. Nuff to bodder Jonah "bout to keep up wiv dis yer armv, an’ look foh stray chick­ ens, an’ cook de Captain's supper.*” ' Once on the voyage from New Or­ leans his attention was directed to a fine sunset “De sun hab dono sot.” was his sole comment. His practical soul saw no sentiment at all in tho scene. Sunset was to him merely a fact which he ex­ pressed in his own way. It was near Winchester, a week before tho great battle of Sept 19, 1864, that this black diamond was last to me. His zeal to secure for his Cap­ tain something a little better than army rations led him to go out with a foraging party, which waa captured by some of Mosby’s men. I never siw him again. What his lot Jias been since “de wah,” wo shall never know. I trust it has boon a happy one; I know it must havo been useful. Jonah was a very humble factor in tho great war; but he had one pleasing quality that was not possessed by all the famous warriors on both side* of that contest—he attended strictly to his own business, and always did tho duty that was nearest him. Never does his good-natured face recur to mo withoutsuggesting tbe old couplet: Honor and ahamo from no condition rite ; Act wall your part, there all tho honor 11m. General Grant on the Terms at Vicksburg. In tho Century i* printed for the first time a letter by General Grant on tho above topic, from which the follow­ ing is an extract: General Pember­ ton, being a Northern man command­ ing a Southern army, was not at tho same liberty to surrender an army that a man of Southern birth would be. In adversity or defeat he became an ob­ ject of suspicion, and felt it Bowen was a Southern man all over, and knew the garrison at Vicksburg had to sur­ render or be captnred, aud knew it was best to stop further effusion of blood by surrendering. Ho did all he could to bring about that result Pemberton is mistaken in several points. It was Bo wan that proposed that he and A. J. Smith should talk over the matter of tho surrender nnd submit their views. Neither Pember­ ton nor 1 objected; but we were not willing to commit ourselves to accept­ ing such terms as'they might propose. In a short time those officers returned. Bowen acted as s|x>kesman. What he said was substantially this: The Con­ federate army was to be permitted to march out with the honors of war, carrying with them their arms, colors* and field batteries. The national troops were then to march in and occupy the city, and re­ tain the siege guns, small arms not in the hands of the men, all public prop­ erly remaining. Of course I rejected tbe terms at once. I did agree, how­ ever, before we separated, to write Pemberton what terms I would give. The correspondence is public and speaks for itself. I held no council of war. Hostilities having ceased, officers and men soon became ao । unin ted with the reason why. Curiosity led officers of rank—most all the general officers— tc visit my headquarters with the hope of getting oome news. I talked with them very freely about the meeting be­ tween General Pemberton ai d myself, our correspondence, etc. But in no sense was it a council of war. I was very glad to give the garrison of Vicks­ burg the terms I did. There waa a cartel in existence at that time which required either party to exchange or parole all prisoners cither nt Vicksburg or at a point on the James River within ten days after captures, or as. soon thereafter a* practicable. This would have used all the transportation we had for a month. The men had behaved so well that I did not waul to humiliate them. I believed that consideration for their feelings would make them less dangerous foe* during the continuance of hostilities, and better citizen* after the war was over. U. 8. Gravt.

Dora, who had never seen death in any of its forms, was white with fear. "Put her on tho bed," said More, quickly divining what the end was, to­ be; “she is dying." They laid her gently on the couch. Her lips were moving,* but her voicewas famt and low. More bent his head to listen. “Dora." Dora took her place by tho dying: woman. “I know I am going soon,” said Mrs. Britt, “but it is better so. I would not stay if I could. But first, answer truly. Have I been kind to you all these years’ we have lived together ?" “Most kind," answered Dora, wiping* the cold drops from tho still colder forehead. “And you forgive me. Oh! say you forgive me." “Yes," said Dora gently. “If you have wronged me in any way, it is for­ given. Fully, freely forgiven.”. “The wrong I have done you is in. having kept silence.

One of them runs: “By the rood of by-and-by one arrives st the town ot Never/ There is much richness and beauty in tbo Italian proverb: “Time and patience change tbe mulberry leaf into satin,” but many others alluding to vengeance are terribly significant. The proverbs of Africa partake largely of the physical aspect and moral cbanicteristics of the country: They say of a lucky person: “He waa born with a silver spoon in his mouth.” ;, On the Nile it is: “Throw him into tbe river snd he will eome ud with a fish in bis mouth.” “A small date stone is large enough to prop up a large water jar." “The corn passes from bnnd to hand, but it comes to the mill at last." “What can I think of thy good qualities, O onion! since every bite draws a tear?” “The beetle is a beauty in tho eyes of its mother." “Say good-morning to tbe bean seller, not to the druggist" meaning that it ia better to be poor and well than rich and ill.

Mr. Clark was a typical gentleman of tho old school. It' was once my privilege to enjoy his hospitality and to visit his manufactory in his company. A more entertaining host could not have been found. His style of conversation waa somewhat quaint and desultory, a fact which added to its interest, and he seemed to take pleasure in telling to me tho story of his unrivaled success as a lens­ maker. ’ in a jocular tone he asked: “Would ■ vou think I was over eighty years old?

Thence I came to Boston and mado a •modest livelihood for about twenty years by pursuing the self-taught art • of portrait and miniature painting, be­ guiling my leisure with the construction • of small telescopes. Here is a miniature portrait of old Dr. Bemis which I painted almost fifty years ago. It has just been sent back to me.

I recalled the conversation, and said to him : * If you wish to know any­ thing about telescopes come and see me at Cambridge.’ We enjoyed a hearty laugh over the reminiscence.

It had . nothing better than an ancient Munich refractor of nine and a half inches. In 1870 a bill was passed by Congress authorizing the Superintendent to con­ tract for a telescope of the largest size of American manufacture. The aper­ ture agreed upon was twenty-six inches, and the contract was given us, ss we are solitaire in our line in this country. It proved extremely difficult to obtain rough glass even of this size, and it was over a year before we were able to get rough disks completed of the required size. Wo import our glass from Paris. Tho glass arrived in December, 1871,; tho polishing was completed in October, 1872; tho whole instrument in a year more, and was finally mounted and ready for observation in Novem­ ber, 1878. We were paid forty-six thousand dollars in gold for it, and gold was then at a premium. In im­ porting rough lenses wo were obliged to pay thirty per cent duty because the edges of the glass used to lie ground smooth and polished, so that the maker could inspect them to see if there were any defects before they were shipped. Now I order them ground off rough again, which allows them to be passed under the head of raw material, as they should be either way." . “Have you shipped many out of the country V "Quite a few."

NUMBER 10;------- OR.-------- Author of ‘Tbo Bokewood Tragedy,' ‘The Jason Girls," “Allthorpe,” Etc- ctnrnxuEDij “There is no time to be lost," she said •with feveriah baste. “Let me begin, back to tho years of my youth, when prosperity smiled upon me, and hanpinesfl was mine. I was married when -quite young, to the man of my choice, Jonathan Udderzook. The first years of my married life, let them go. Enough to fcsy nothing of them. It was only ■when reverses in fortune came, and brought the tempter to work his bale­ ful influence oyer my husband's heart, my trouble began. Then—but sever mind. I | ass over those terrible mocths of anguish and trial. “Dissensions camo. We often vowed, in the heat of our differences, that we would part—he would go his way, I would go mine. Hut all differences were ended when one morning people came in and told me he was dead. A hat and coat was found on the river bank, and a ncite stating briefly that, tire.1 of h:s life, he had ended it The shock maddened me. I was wild. “The river was dragged without buc•cesa. Davs after, a horrid body, swol­ len past all semblance, black with de­ composition, yet clothed in Iris garxnciits, washed ashore. I believed it to be his. I buried it ns his. 1 set up shore it a memorial stone. In the days when plenty had smiled upon ns, my hudiand had taken out a life insurance policy to the amount of fifteen thous­ and dollars. ■“J discovered that this was all that I xsordd look forward to as a support for myself and child For Tattle's sake I •frino tho case was decided in favor of «he widow. In time, the money was paid to me. And in time I became rec-oociled to my lot in life, and lived at peace if not in happiness, alone with my foolish child. My late husband had had a friend, true and stanch, by the Axame of Dawes. To John Dawes I ■owed much. He had helped me fight llso company, and, in fact, it was his testimony that finally decided the ease for me. But wait; letme not anticipate. ■ “One stormy night, when the sleet was tailing, a tap came to xpy window. Alarmed, I peered out into the storm. The w.ndow openedOb. heaven! -Alive and well. Jonathan Udderzook stood before me. Tho bitterness of death was on mo. More, tho bitlernosH of ahame. disgrace, was there. He made me understand what he wanted. Food, and more than all, money. Under an assumed name ho was living in a distant part of tbe country. He liad seen the settlement of my claims l>5’ tho insurance company, and he had oon e for a division of tho spoils. Then told me what ho had done. How ho Bad planned and schemed to bring the dreadful fraud about. How he had ^gotten a body. Inng buried in tbo cem'Sjtery, dressed it in his clothes, and fin­ . ally, with bis own hands, placed it in tbe river at a point and at a time when waited for the payment of the insur­ ance money. “Ofa. the shams, the anger, the de­ wpair of that awful hour. But much as iat. Waa he uot my husband and the dher of my child ? “On my knees, I besought him to go he should designate. At money went to, what I had dona with the large sums that I had expended. I could not answer. Suspicion wag aroused. Ho told me bluntly, at lost, that he believed I was squandering the estate. Not tong after, bo had occasion to go to a distant part of the country, and, as fate would have it, encountered tho supposed dead man face to face. “But a man capable of planning and perpetrating the fraud that bad been planned and jicrpetratod upon tho in­ surance company was equal to the pres­ ent emergency. Before Dawes could expose or denounce him, my husband had drawn a pistol and shot him dead. For this crime he was arrested. Tho trial came off; ho was convicted of man­ slaughter and sentenced for life to the State prison at------- . “The prison doors closed upon him, he was enrolled upon the prison rec­ ords as ‘Convict No. 10.’” “No. 10.” Dora started and clasped her hands. “My father I Oh! I thought you said ho was innocent.” “Be still." Mrs. Britt's thin hand beat the air. “I am coming to that. When the prison shut him in, I thought my trials were over. .He had been tned and convicted under the name he had assumed upon leaving the old life. And though the papers gave a full account of his crime and its result, yet the secret of his real identity was a secret still, known only to himself and to mo. Nobody bnt mo dreamed that the name of ‘James Orton’ waa an assumed one. A marble head-stone in a private cem­ etery bore the name that waa rightfully hia. But he was dead to me now, al­ most us much ho as it tlxo body I had buried had really been his. * “Seven years went by, years of fancied security and peace. I’wis beginning to think that the shadows that had so long darkened my pathway would be disj>elled at last I thought the worst that fate had in store for me had hapj>ened, and looked forward to an old age that would be peaceful. But—it is ever so. When our feet are u]>on tho brink of the abyss that is opening to receive us, we are fancying ourselves the safest. "It was the night before Christmas. I sat in my choir dozing, when tho girl came in,’spying a stranger was in the hall, asking to speak with the mistress. I told her to send him in. “A large man, closely cropped and closely shaven, come in and sat down near me. “There was a disgusting familiarity in his manner that aroused my anger. “ ‘Who are you?’ I asked. “He took a card from his pocket and gave it to me. “I read the name inscrilxxl on tho card. It was one that I had never heard before, ‘Joshua Britt.’ “ ‘What is your business at this time of night?’ "I was trembling. I know not why. Ho filled mo with a fear of something, 1 could not tell what. “ ‘My business is to stop with you. Comfortable place this.' And ho looked about him with so insolent an air that 1 put my band on the bell-rope. “ ‘Don’t do that,’ said ho in a warn­ ing voice. ‘Don't do that; you’d bo sorry if I should explain my errand here’ before your servants.’ “He reminded me somehow, in spite of his changed appearance, of------- But no! Tho thought died us soon as it was born. “A grip like that of death clutched at my heart. “ ‘Explain your meaning.’ He bent forward. He looked into my face with a dreadful leer. “ThonI knew him. “’Susan, don’t you know me? I’m your door husband, come bock from tho grave, come back from the prison, to console your grief for my long ab­ sence. Your dear husband. Aren’t you glad to see me, Susan Y “Det me pass over the dreadful ag­ ony of that dreadful hour. “Gradually, as I could bear it, he told mo the story of his escape. How he had overpowered a chance visitor, had exchanged clothing, had loft him in his cell, one more innocent than him­ self, to suffer for his nins. Assunyng the identity of his victim, he had come straight to me. And, penniless as he was, thief, murderer, villain, with me he insisted upon remaining. There is a kind of suffering deeper and more terrible than that which strikes us dead at tho tint blow. A kind that paralyzes the heart and freezes tho blood, that kills by slew degrees. That was mine. “By and by, he tnld me hia plan. Hia scheme was for me*to go through a marriage ceremony with him, aud take tho name he then bore, “His changed appearance would en­ able him to escape recognition, by those who once knew him, and he would live on at the Evergreens in se­ curity with me. “But for the stain which would have been cast on tbe familv, by my de­ nouncing him thou and there, I would have handed him over to tho law he had outraged. But so far no suspicion of the truth was known. He had plotted and schemed and carried out his villain­ ies in such a manner that no breath of scandal had atta hed itself to his name. “Once more, to shield that name, I consented to his plan, and on Christ­ mas morning tho ceremony took place. “But my conscience now gave me no rest Day and n:ghi, night and day, sleeping or waking, my mind turned upon the prisoner in that prison cell. Had he friends? Had he a wife? a child, perhaps! I would find out For my own peace of mind it • were better to know the worst. “By the aid of some old letters which were in the pockets of the clothes my husband wore, I found such knowledge as assisted me to the end I had in view. Let me skip the details of the search. Suffice it to say that I found—oh! merciful God! In tbe wife of that vic­ tim I recognized tbe friend ot my Youth. She wee ill, she was poor! I brought her and her child to my Lome. I said nothing. “There wu still the child, a girl o! that child ahould be mine, to care for, to love. I meant, too, that no more in­ nocent victuna should suffer for the sins of tbe guilty. Dora, that child was you." She paused. “Bnt the end of all the deception, the plotting, the misery, is at hand. To-day I determined to tell all, with my dying breath. I denounce him, Joshua Britt, James Orton, Jonathan Udderzook. Behold him!” The guilty wretch whitened, shud­ dered at the accusing voice.

Prof. Goode is sWht thirty-six years old, having been born in New Al­ bany, Ind., in 1851. He received his early academia and scientific training at the Wes- levan Lnivenity, at Middletown,Conn. _____ After taking his degree he became at­ tached to the timithsonian Institution in Washington, directing his attention more particularly to ichthyology. When the Ber­ lin Exhibition of Fish and Fisheries wns held. Prof. Goode had the American de­ partment under hi* charge; he acquitted himself so well a* to receive the highest praise from Germany. At the London Exhibition of Fisheries in 1883, he repre­ sented the United States ae Commissioner there.

They van not make money themiudves honestly, but i have remarked that $5,000 ia a great deal to them, and they will do a lot for less." Mr. Huntington then entered into an­ other explanation of how money could be legitimately spent in influencing Congteas. Mr. Huntington knew nothing about the books of the Contract and Finance Com­ pany. He knew that after building the Central Pacific the company's debts weie big and its assets nothing but Central Pa­ cific stock of less value tnan tho amount of its debts. "I never kept the books of tho company, and carry most of my own business memo­ randa under my hat," said he, “and they very seldom mislead me." The witnesB went into tho methods and men employed in starting the Central Pa­ cific. Every one went in at his personal solicitation. Only good, honest, thrifty men were taken in, like Gov. Stanford and Mr. Crockor. "The Government took away our power of repaying them quickly when it subsidized parallel lines. That was not our fault. We have fulfilled every obligation to the Government. Il is they who hare broken the contract. The exCnses at one time were enormous-Freight, Nursnce, provisions, everything, was high during tho war. Materials had to bo shipped around Capo Hom a year in advance, and thus interest was lost At present the Government owes the Central $2,000,000, which it will not pay, and it won't pay interest on anything it once ba* in it* grasp. The most expensive port of the road was over the Sierra Neva­ da*. It cost Mr. Crocker more than tho contracts came anywhere near paying him. At one time It looked like a losing enter­ prise. Tbo risk was enormous, and it was not until long afterward that tho profits showed themselves." Mr. Huntington asserted tffat tho Gov­ ernment paid the Central Pacific less for carrying the mails ovdr the Sierra Nevada* than it paid tho level Eastern roads. To which statement Mr. Littler responded that he wonld like to have the official data AL'KEE. statement that the Irish party v?ould give the land bill fair play.

C. Huntington appeared a* a witness before the Pacific Railroad Commission on Friday, and the examination into the dif­ ferent letters lient to Mr. Colton was en­ tered upon. The first was in illation to having convinced a certain Senator from Florida of the advantages of. the Southern Pacific Road to the Gulf State*. The witness did not know whether it was Sen­ ator Jones or Senator Conover be referred to. He know both gentlemen personally. The next ws* relative to having a Cali­ fornia Senator friendly to the road. Noth­ ing could be extracted from Mr. Hunting­ ton on this head, except thst Mr.. A. A Sargent, whose name Mr. Anderson mentioned, would have been a most admir­ able man for tho. position. • He was well .and able, and al-ove suspicion. Following this came a letter commenting upon the advisability of purchasing Senstor Jones' (of Nevada) road, the Los Angele* and In­ dependence, so as to induce him to favor the Union Pacific and Nwthorn Pacific Railroads' sinking fund bill. He bought the road, which cost $716,000, for *MX»,000.

Tho soil and climate of this vast scope of coun­ try embraced in the Missouri valley, apd< reaching away in rich, uniulating fieldsfor hundreds of miles from the murky river, are peculiarly adapted to the profit­ able growing of cereal«, especially that Ob’ corn. But boro, like in many other Mo­ tions, farmers have but imperfectly realised! the im]>ortanca of corn cultivation, and the breeding of bogs and cattle.

Three Englishmen ot wealth and leisure, tiring of inaction, embark on a Journey of adventure and discovery. They arc ac­ companied by a Zulu ex-chief named Um■lopogaas, whose courage and proweea figure conspicuously in the narrative. Having heard rumors of a great white race, located somewhere among the pla­ teaus of Central Africa, they ascend the Tana river, meet with many remarkable HAGGARD.

The strangers excite much Interest, nar­ rowly escape death by burning, and are finally advanced to positions of distinction —subsequently eejtouiiing the cause of Nyleptha, against her sister Santis, in a great revolt precipitated by the latter. The story abounds in thrilling situa­ tions, and will repay reading. Loot out for lie Ojeoim Ctajler. The following will show the general this serial: I have several times board my father, who was a Lieutenant aboard of H. S. Spitfire, tell of bis adventures among the pirates who used to make the coasts of Arabia and Persia such a terror to seamen. It took many years and plenty of bard knocks to clear the seas of those gentry, and crews of the war ships receved more wounds than prize money. One story in particular which I heard my father tell several times over bad a peculiar interest to me, for 1 had seen the .vessel spoken of in dock at Liverpool. I will give tbe ykrn tn his own language as near as 1 can : "We had run across from the Lacca­ dive Islands to the Gulf of Aden, and were just inside the Island of Socrata when we picked up a sailor floating on a plank. It was about seven o'clock in tbe morning, with little or no sea run­ ning, and die lookout saw him when die was yet a mile away. How he was preserved from the sharks has always been a matter of mystery to me~ When we lowered a boat to pick him up he was fairly surrounded by the hungry monsters. Through the ship's glass I counted nineteen cutting the water around his float, and I could nqt believe that the boat would be able to reach him before he was drawn down. If Providence ever makes a special ef­ fort for poor humanity it made a grand effort to preserve that sailors life and permit him to fulfill his mission. He was drawn safely aboard tho boat, and whetfhohad bad had a glass of grog we got his story. He had been second mate on board an American brig named the True Flag. 1 think she bailed from Boston, bnt am not sure. I mw her in Liverpool three years before this inci­ dent, and painted on her stern was the first American flag I had ever seen except at a distance. This was the reason I remembered her above all others. . “The American had been up the Gulf and into the Red Sea, and had come out with a part of a cargo and was going up to Mirbat to finish load­ ing, when be was attacked by three pi­ rate dhows. Thia occurred the evening before, and only twenty miles north of the island. The attack was made after sundown, and while two other nieichantmen were in sight. The dhows had been discovered hovenng about. aud their evil intention was suspected, bnt it was little the crew of the brig could do to defend themselves. They had a few old muskets and cutlasses, but the dhows ran tbe brig aboard, poured fifty or sixty men on her decks, nnd the fight was over in five minutes. The mate, knowing that all was lost, had gone overboard with a plank during tbe confusion, and tbe wind and sea bad drifted him down across our course. There was no doubt that every man aboard the brig had been cut down or saved for captivity, and ransom,.and that tbe vessel had been thoroughly plundered by that time, but it was just such an incideat as we wanted to hear of. We hadn't had a brush with- tbe pirates for several weeks, and were geting rusty fur the want uf some act­ ive work. The Spitfire was, of course, a sailing ship. She was a snug craft of thirtysix guns, with a strong aud ready crew, and tbe first thing done after bearing the sailor's story was to heave her to’ io the light wind and transform ber from a taut and trim man-of-war into a merchantman. I bad charge ol this B£ .NOW! e ah the Chapters of BREA T SERIAL work, and it was not tbe first time we had made tbe change to deceive the pirates. Inside of three hours the best glass on board of a dhow could not have told the Spitfire of tbe Royal Navy from the Sarah Jane of New Bedford. And then we beat up to the north for further news concerning tbe brig. The mind was light and baffling, aud when night came we had seen nothing. Just at dark, however, a French bark com­ ing out of Kershin, reported seeigg three dhows and a brig standing in for a bay between Mirbat and tbe latter place—a biding place and rendezvous, aa we bad previously ,.:een informed. We could do nothing by going there in the night, but we stood ou till pretty well in to the coast and then prepared to lay off and out After midnight we got a stifiisb land breeze and bad to run to sea. and it waa well that jt happened so. When morning came we could just make out tbe coast range of mountains through tbe glass, and tbe breeze was dead against us. It was only well into daylight when tbe dhows were espied coming out. We set a signal of distress and pointed the ship's nose for tbe Gulf, but we took good care not to go too fast. "Tbe success of tbe previous evening had emboldened tbe pirates. I-don’t know what sort of a looking over they gave us from their mastheads, but they were certainly deceived aa to our iden­ tity. ■ They did not come dead at us on tbe Start, prolxbly intending to give us a bit of investigation, bnt no sooner dirt the signal of distress become plain to them than chch dhow altered her course and bore straight down. Did not oar signal call for help. Waa it not their duty to basteo to. mm- Midi There was but one other sail in sight, and she waa well up the Gulf. Tbe pirates had a dear coast and a hapless Victim, and they cracked on all sail. They had scarcely been seen Wore the .Yankee mate recognized the ident­ ical dhows of tbe day previous, and after that- wo had no fears of making a mistake. Our whole crew entered into the scheme with a will.* While we did not'beat to quarters, every gun waa made ready, ammunition wawpaastxi up and long before tbe dhows were up we had every preparation made. Twothirds of the men were kept in shelter behind tbe bulwarks, and the pirates icoald see nothing tending to arouse ^suspicion. I "The piratical prafte came along in a bunch. They were about the same size and burden, and each carried fully forty men. When they hod come down within cannon shot they separated having probably planned to lay us aboard, stem and stern, but our Captain did not propose to let it go that far. While he could have nth-doubt of our ability to clean out the scoundrelly gang, be realized that a hundred d» terinined fellows damned upon our decks, with pistols and cutlasses meant death and wounds to some of our crew. Just as the dhows separated our porta were knocked open, the guns run out, and next moment wo were giving it to them hot and heavy. The fellows could not have been more surprised. had the sea suddenly opened to swallow them up. Each ot the dhows had a couple of can­ non on deck, but there was no thought of using them. The knowledge that they had. caught a Tartar seemed to unnevvb tlrem, and the first dhow had gone down before either of the other two seemed to think of escape. Then it was too late. Our shqt went right through them and left terrible gaps for the sea to pour in, and in just seven minutes by tbe watch from the firing of the first gun we got the order to cease firing. "One dhow was at the -bottom, the second with' her rail awash, and the third on her beam end and slowly turning turtle. The survivors of our cannonade were floating about on pieces of wreckage, but by tbe time we had lowered our boats and picked up seven the rest had been hauled under by tjie sharks, which came to the feast in a great school. Among those res­ cued were the captains of two of tlie dhows. Seven worse looking villians than we picked up were never seen in or out of prison. They were a defiant lot, too. Having recovered from their shock of surprise and comprehending that a trick bad been played upon them they fought even as we rescued them from the sharks. No matter how bad a gang you get a hold of, on sea or laud, sumo one of them will be willing to ‘tarn nose’ to save bis nock. It was so in this case. Six of them refused to answer a question concerning tbe American brig, but the seventh was willing to tell all if it would save him from the yard-arm. He said that every­ one of tbe crew had been made away with, and that the brig was then lying in the bay spoken of. They were in­ tending to plunder, dismantle and scut­ tle ber, but had not yet begun the work, having espied the Spitfire and come out to investigate her. He gave the number of men aboard the dhows at 110. "■In those days the Captain of one of her Majesty’s vessels in a foreign sta­ tion, or I might say, on a barbarous coast, had things much his own way. Breakfast was only over when out Cap­ tain ordered whips at the yard-arms, and informed the six pirates that their time had |come. Not a man of them even changed countenance, while each uttered the word ‘Kismet’—it is fate. Each man went to his death calmly as if it was an every-day affair, and tho informer gazed upon the spectacle with aa little concern as you please. When the necks of the six were well stretched tbe bodies were lowered and sent to sharks. Then we spruced up a little, headed In for the bay, and by mid-af­ ternoon were alongside the brig. She was anchored within pistol shot of the shore, and nine or ten villainous Arabs went ashore from her before we bad come np. "The sights aboard that brig have always haunted me. There were blood stains all over lier decks, proving that the crew had fought a gallant fight, and in the cabin were the gory beads of two of the sailors. At the foot of the companion way was a bloody hand, and near tbe scuttle butt was another. I believe three or four of the brig’s crew had surrendered and were tor­ tured to death. Oar Captain, having agreed to spare the informer’s life, the Arab was ordered overboard when we were ready to depart. It was only a fair swim to shore, and he did not need to be told twice. He made a dive off the rail, came up like a duck, and then headed off for the beach with an easy stroke. He had gone about fifty yards when a dozen of our crew called out in chorus. We two or three black fins eating the water, a gleam of white at the surface, aud the swimmer was gone,” _ nr -__________ The scandal monger is tbe hyena of modern society.

The government has the power and right to do it no matter whether there is a precedent or not. Let the government-create a precedent If it needs one; that is the object and duty of a govern­ ment for and by the people. If gov­ ernment means anything it must be supreme, it must teach the people that a national debt is a national disgrace, to be wiped out at all hazards. There can be no loss to the bond-holders, for they can take tbe money and invest it again in other business, while tbe relief to tbe national treasury and to the peo­ ple would be apparent to all. The United States is building a small Imt what may'prove to bo a toleraly efficient navy. Within three years’ time, we may have some seven or eight swift and powerful vessels. Two of them will have a speed of at least nine­ teen knots an hour. But even then we shall be in no condition to make war, in view of the enormous naval power of the great nations of Europe. Tbe great cities of the Continent are in­ land ; ours are on the seacoast, and un­ defended, for we have neither fortifi­ cations nor guns. It is curious that, while we are in this exposed condition, the politicians are at their wit’s ends over tbe problem of getting rid of a surplus in the Treasury. We have harbors to improve, a series of internal water* courses, upon which millions could be spent with great advantage to our inter-state commerce, and yet the newspapers are raising a clamor as to the beat means of getting rid of our surplus, when it might be applied to a thousand productive and profitable internal improvements. France is arming ber troops with what is known aa the Label rifle, ao named after its inventor. This "little gun” as it is called, has a carrying pow­ er beyond that of any rifle heretofore in nse. The bore is very small, and tbe ball, which is often of steel, sharp ly pointed at one end, is said to re vol v at a speed of 1000 revolutions in a sec­ ond. The bullet is allot out of the rifle by an improved explosive, the secre of which is known only to tbe French government. It gives out no smoke and there* is no recoil underfire. .The bullet is carried a mile and a balf?and at five hundred yards will penetrate r brick wall eight inches thick. About a thousand a day of these marvelously destructive weapons are now being manufactured and tbe whole French army will have them by next spring. It was the needle gun that gave the Prussians the advantage over tbe Aus­ trians at Sadowa, aud the French ex­ pect that this new arm will give them the victory when next, they meet the hated Germans in battle array.

At the annual meeting It waa left optional with the •chool board to hire either a male or female teacher, aa they saw fit, for the reason that it was the general supposition that they would hire a female teacher, and we understand that tbe board bad already promised the school to the same teacher who is .now teaching it, but contrary to all expectation* the next day after the meeting tbe moderator and assessor en­ gaged a mole teacher.

The truth, ^L4aiLn ’ I honorable to humanTal'l . x'l -2”| tty, but none the lx JJles’ remarkable, that loving and devoted women will cling to unworthy men long after the world has , hopelessly given them up for lost We cite but one more example out of hun4reda of thousands. •The announcement by Everett Travis 'to his parents ot his clandestine mar­ riage with Julia Carter, one of the fac­ tory girls, wm tho cause of such an •explosion of. paternal wrath m doos often really occur, outside the pages of romance. The senior Trsvis glared on his son in the most highly approved style of sensational fiction. “What! Married, do you say, and to one qd those cotton-spinners? Well, by —r-^ir, we’ll make short work of -this foolishness! Find how much she wants, and you can pay her off; then go out West and get a divorce. And let this be the iMt of your wild oats, air! It’s time you settled down and began life sensibly and steadily.” “Sir, she’s my" lawful wife. She’s good enough for anvman in the State. I want to bring hor^iere and have yon and mother reedhre her m a daughter." “I’m sure I*d be willing," put in Mrs. Travis, with a thought of the far-off days when she used to do kitchen­ work for wages. " And I’m sure she must be good, and that we can love her dearly. Let Everett bring her here, father.” “Never, madam! Never, you undutifnlson! We’ve made an idol of you; I*ve educated you carefully and expen­ sively; l*ve lavished money on vou; I’ve 'spoiled you, perhaps. Anything reasonable I’ll stand, but this is a step too far. Repudiate that creature, take the means I nave suggested to get rid of her, or I repudiate you forever. Cbo.se, now. between her and me, with all that I have to give you." . There could be no doubt what the choice would be at that time. In the flush of young love, with a temper law­ fully inherited from this irate parent, .and viewing the world through the roseate glasses of twenty-four, Everett Travis left his father's house, content to sacrifice his worldly prospects and •advantages for the woman who was all in all to him. He lost no time in attempts at recon­ ciliation, but removed at once to a flourishing Western city. Stories were told, probably true ones, of a stealthy •visit by Everett’s mother before the re­ moval; of her forgiveness and blessing ~ -■-*>- to the fair young bride; of a welcome gift of money from the same kind hand, •nd of her promise to try and soften the stern father, and to write often. So they went to their new home. No letters were received from the yearning mother. Her first attempt to -write was detected by her husband, •ad so sternly forbidden that she •ever dared make the attempt after­ ward. Bnt travelers going to Joliet from this village frequently carried •abstantial tokens of maternal afieofrcc to the disinherited. . Julia Carter had committed tho com•ire had taken counsel of the heart, and nothing else. A handsome boyish '■•limited devotion—these had captiva­ ted her; she had not dared to look heJ’oed them. Had aho looked beyond them she would have seen a character informed, a frivolous disposition, abewho had thus far proven the ability do dD nothing but to Spend his father's B«t then, she loved him; and what tained in the reply, with its sneering allusion to henelf.

She labored with her hands M she had never labored in the cotton-mill She cleaved t> that unworthy man in tho worst of ill-re­ port, with a sublime faith and heroism which are only shown by women. “Timo softens all Mperitiea." Years of practical childlessness produced their natural effect upon the father of Everett Travis. The barriers of pride and obstinacy were strong and high; but at last they yielded. A letter camo to the poor Western home, informing the son that his mother wm stricken with paralysis, and likely to. die. It implored him to return at once, bring­ ing his wife, and gave repeated sssnrance that everything should be for­ given. The answer, anxiously expected, waa brief and unsatisfactory. It wm writ­ ten by Julia. She said that both her husband and herself were saddened by the intelligence of his mother's illness; that both wished to go at onoe to her, but they could not. Everett could not write, and he had requested her to do so. “Is that all ? " asked the dying mother. “Yee, Sophy; that’s all.” “Oh, dear! I shall never see him again—my darling, my only child! Did you send them money to come, Timo­ thy?" “No," groaned the repentant father. “I didn’t think of that* “O, Timothy!" “But I don’t believe they'd come, anyway. It’s a queer letter. She don’t even say that Ewy is aick." When the sufferer was dead and buried, Mr. Travis resolved to go in person and look up hfti waywnrd son. A long railroad journey brought him to the city of his home, and with much difficulty he found his mean habitation. To the thin, careworn woman whom he found there, he introduced himself os Everett's father. She looked at him with stony eyes. ’ "I sin his wife," she said. “You dis­ owned him years ago on my account; now vou have come too late to find him. . “He is net dead?" Mr. Travis cried. “No; but if you persist in seeing him you will wjah he was." “Where is he? Take me to him." “Beware, sir! I warn you. I say it is too late for your hard heart to bo moved. You bad better go back, and not insist on seeing him." “I must see him." She put on her battered bonnet and faded shawl, and without a word con­ ducted him through busy streets to a gloomy and vast stone building. They walked through offices, halls, and courts and were stopped by a man at a strongly barred door. “Do you want to look, Mrs. Travis?" the guard respectfully asked. “lea; do yon look, too?" Her companion did as she directed. Through a wicket in tho door that the guard unclosed some hundreds of men were seen marching across a large open court.

But you only vr“te your breath when you champion tbe cause of that ras’ cally nephew of min0»-l,'re<l ®°1' x ton. You don't know him as I know him. Ho is a scamp of the first water- ’ "I know he’s old and poor,” says Hazard. “What if he is old? That's nothing. Given time enough—you’d be old yourself. Hazard. And as to his povery—whose fault is it that ho is poor? He’s already squandered two fortune*, and for all I will do to pre­ vent it, he may end his days in tbe alAs-house. I hone be will." Captain Hazard smiles at tho old lady’s vehemence. Her black-mittenod hands gesticulate with energy, and in her excitement her lace cap has bobbed half.off her head, where it now hangs in an awry twist that is ludicrous. "Oh, pray.don't excite yourself, aunt,” says Huzard; “your capstrings are all in'a flutter. By rights I should bo a woman, that T might adjust such little matters of dress for you But yon see the disadvantages under which I labor. I am melee*—even as an accessory to the toilet-room." Madam Dundas smiles indulgently. The Captain is a prime favorite with her, and has been for years. Thea she rings the bell that stands on the table close by her side, and a maid enters. "Put my cap straight, and make mo presentable," commands the autocrat. The maid quickly and deftly makes the necessary changes, pulls the mittens well up on the. skinny arms, adjusts the awry cap, and disappears us silently as she has come. — Madam Dundas is very old, very rich, and very whimsical, and, alas! very much accustomed to having her own way. Bhe turns again to the Captain, u tall, thin gentleman in an undress uni­ form. “Bid I understand you to say that Bolton has a daughter ?“ Hazard nodded. “How do you know?" “Campion knows them both; Jived in the same honsa with them at one time, and got to bo well acquainted. The girl is bright, but uneducated, and with little or no taste in dross. He says she is dark as a savage, and yet wears tints that should only be worn by blondes. ’’ “That is unpardonable,” remarks the old lady, with quiet sarcasm. "We might overlook ber lack of education, and forgive the poverty. But bad taste —never.” The Captain shrugged his shoulder*. “I do not understand your reasons tor espousing my nephew’s cause," says Madam Dundas peevishly. “No more do 1.” “Unless it is from sheer perversity. You were always on the opposite side, let the matter be what it would.” This is true enough. The Captain, who admits that he is hit, winces and makes a grimace. “And were I to become reconciled to my nephew, what is to hinder me from cutting you off without a penny, and leaving all the money to his daughter?” ’“Nothing." "Knowing my changeable nature as you do, don’t you see that you are per­ iling your future prospects by your ad­ vice, and that if I become reconciled to those two vagabonds—which, thank goodness. I never will—I am likely to give them my property?” “Yes 1 but I don’t think you would reallv be so unkind to me as that. I am certain a stray thousand or two would fall to my share, for vou are not ada­ mant. no more than L” “This is very trying, very trying, inleaning her white head back on her cushions. “At my time of life, Captain Hazard, people should try to please an old woman and soothe her, instead of raising old and half-forgotten memories of the past I know that I have done my duty by Frederic Bolton.

And as a rich man’s son be began life with no other idea of the value of money than that* of its purchasng power.

STODDAKD. “Randall," said the Colonel of ar­ tillery to the red-faced young man be­ fore him, “these are what I wish to have delivered first. You must exer­ cise great care in handliflg them. They do not go off easily, but a small tap right here will explode them. “ His finger was on the nose of a throe­ inch percussion shell as ho spoke. It was a very neatly finished affair, of a new pattern, from which important re-. suite were expected by artillerists. The shells were to explode on strik­ ing, and scatter everything in front of them in a thoroughly scientific manner. “All right, sir,” said Randall. “Well get them out on the levee as fast as we can and tbe ammunition wagons can come for them." “I’ll not send any until you report a sufficient number of shell ready for transportation.” "All right, air," said Randall, as ho touched his hat and marehod out of the Colonel's quarters; but ho added to himself: "They’re a little the worst-looking death machines I ever saw. I shall be glad when the last of them are on the levee." He was mate of one of the smallest iron-clad "turtle-back" gunboats of the Mississippi squadron, and had been detailed m charge of an ammunition barge or “powder-boat" She had been towed down the river, with a full cargo, and now lay with her hood against the levee otthe “powder landing,” between three and four miles above Memphis. It was early in the fourth year of the civil war, and it was well understood that a great deal of ammunition would yet be required. An hour or so later, Randall stood at his post upon the stern of the barge, watching a score of “roustabouts,” who were going and coming, busily employed in removing the percussion shells called for by tbe Colonel. Every man of them was deeply im­ pressed with the solemnity of the work he was doing, and waa visibly afraid of each burden he brought up from the hold of tbe barge. AU the customary shouting and singing had subsided into a befitting gravity. There were no loungers on the levee, for the sentries posted at suitable distances prevented tho approach of unauthorized persons. No other craft of any sort was moored near the barge which contained so manv tons of compressed powder and peril. Tho ridge of the levee was many feet above the river level, and was already lined with the terrible cylinders, whose yet undimmed copper glistened in the sunshine. "Nearly done," said Randall, aloud, “and I’m glad of it. Can’t say I've any nerves to speak of, but I’d rather move a hundred loads of mere powder or ordinary shell. I don’t like those things. ” He glanced down kt the muddy tor­ rent of the Mississippi, rushing Ly in millrace haste, and added: “I’d .be safer in the middle of the river than I am here." He was undoubtedly a man cf cour­ age, and his nerves were such as fitted him for his present duty, but he was unable to put away from him a strong sense of the lonely peril of his post. Neither could he avoid a kind of vague calculation of the enormous destruct!ve forces chained in the cargo con­ cealed by the deck he stood upon. Tramp, tramp, tramp, with soiqber steadiness, the athletic “roustabouts” went down the companion-way or came up again, each, in turn, bearing one or more of the new explosives. These did not make an unduly heavy shoulder­ load, and there was no apparent dan­ ger of an accident The veteran artil- super* intended the p ing, had been_____ _____________________ tions, and every shell had been lifted with a clear understanding that, as one “roustabout" expressed it: “Ef I should sneeze, do shell would take dat advantage and go off." A transport steamer coming down the river seemed to sheer away from the "powder landing,” aa if it were a place to be shunned; and Randall may have been justified in saying that— "The gulls fly high over ft, and even th® buzzards wouldn't light on a dead mule if be lay ot thia levee.

Fairchild and Sherman, partly protected from the storm, bowed to the boys as they passed, acknowledging continually the rousing cheers that went up from each post aa they filet! by in company front Here and there throughout tbe different divisions marched a colored post and their salute was in­ variably a signal for applause from those in tbe grand stand, which several times was taken up by the crowd and prolonged into n hearty obeer. The ^dripping flags re­ ceived much boisterous notice, and ns a squad carrying the tattered remnants of battle-flags passed by the enthusiasm »become unbounded. Throughout tbe column nn occasional warrior carried a cane or a pole ou which was dangling a chicken, leg of mutton, side of bacon, cabbage, or ;oim other representative of a foraging expedi­ tion for commissary stores. Every delegate was in his seat on tbo second day of tho session, Thursday, Sept 29. Department Commander Smedbnry, of California, submitted an offer, in be­ half of JohnG. Capron and Colonel Holabird. of San Diego, with a view to the es­ tablishment of a G-. A. R. soldiers' homo in that city. The dbnntion is iu the form of land, and is equivalent to $100,009 in caah. The proposition is accepted by the encampment. The homo will bo placed under the control of throe trustees, one ap­ pointed by the donors, the second by the encampment, aud the third by tho other two. The usual red tape regulations of soldiers' homes will be tabooed, and actual service, Grund Army membership, poverty, and residence in California will be the sole qualifications for admission. A lengthy report was submitted by the I committee appointed to consider the ad­ dress of the Commander-in-Chief, and it was adopted with a three times three. It eulogized his administration of tho office, ■nd suggested that a proper testimonial he presented him in tho uame of tho or­ ganization. The proposal to appoint an historian was approved, and Comrade B. B. Beath, of Pennsylvania, was suggested for the position. Approval was also given to the proposition to locate permanent headquarters at some central point, with tbe suggestion that tho matter be referred to tho incoming administration. Special approval was also given in tbe report to the action of the Commander-in-Chief in instructing posts to withhold replies to a drcular issued by a New York paper, tho committee expressing the opinion tha “it ia entirely improper nnd contrary to tho rules of the order for posts to express themselves by official action at the request of persons outside of the Grand Army of tbe Republic upon any subject or question unless officially authorized or requested so to do through the regular official channels of the organization. “ There was a sharp contest over tho se­ lection of a location for the next cncamp- The President's grammme previously laid down, wilhou: accident. Leaving Washington on Friday, tbe 30th alt, tha train reached Columbus, Ohio, early on tho morning of Saturday, the Ini of October, but stopped only l°ug enough to change engines. At Richmond, Ind., a stop of a fow minutes was made, and the President went out on the platform and shook hands with all who could get to him. At Indianapolis a stop of three or four hours was made. At tho State House a stand had been erected to which the President was conducted, and a speech of welcome was made by Governor Gray. Tho President responded, compliment­ ing tho State of Indiana and its capital, and paying a handsome tribute to iho memory of vice President Hendricks. In concluding, President Cleveland thanked tho people for their hearty demonstrations in honor of himself and party, and was loudly cheered. After the speech-making the President shook many of tbe people by tho hand. Tho President and wife called on Mrs. Hendricks aud lunched with ber, and later called on Senator Mc­ Donald and wife. The party then loft for Terre Haute, which point was reached at 5: U> p. m. The town was elaborately decorated, and many bands were in the streets. A Presi­ dential salute was fired upon tha arrival of the train, and the President was cheered wildly when ho appeared. Tho Presiden­ tial party was escorted by ox-Socretary Thompson, Senator Voorhees, and tbe Hager veterans to carriages, and all pro­ ceeded to the Normal School grounds. Senator Voorhees made a short address and ex-Secretary Thompson a long one, which the impatient crowd tried to cut short by shouts.

Tho President and party were met in East St. Louis at 11:45 p. m. by the St. Louis reception committee and were driven across the bridge in carriages. Two ■olid masses of humanity lined tho way from the Dlinois shore six blocks to the west of the Missouri levee. Tbe appear­ ance of tho party on th© bridge was the sig­ nal for a burst of cheers and a glare of firejrorka. Tho people followed tho carriages on the run. A banner stretched across the bridge at tbo Missouri line gave “ Welcome to Missouri." At the entrance to the city a dense mass of people obetrrwted tho road, but a charge of mountea police cleared it away, and amid Joud cheers the party passed tbo gates at tho western end of the bridge. The city was resplendent, illuminated by a myriad of lights protected by globes of scarlet, green, amber, white, and blue, and decorated in profusion with bunting. Before the President blazed a transparency of himself and on the streets to his left hung the transparency of Grant and Lincoln. For a dozen blocks an un­ broken lino of people stood on either side and poured forth a volume of cheers. Leaving the crowd behind tho party turned from Washington avenue and drove on Lucas place to the home of Mayor Francis.

For there’s different degrees of hard voy­ aging, so to speak. F*r instance, a sailor ships in ono of these wild packets where the cap’n is a bully and his officers a couple ox shades worse. From dock to dock it’s a word and a blow, with tbe blow two minutes before the word. If you got ashore with a skin full of whole bones you haven’t had aa hard a v’y’ge as somo others that goes to the hospital with smashed jaws or broken limlie. Ormebbo, fool-like, you get inveigled aboard a deep-water whaler, though I will My no reg’lnr A B in his sober senses gets caught that way often. Two and perhaps three years you’re cruising after sperm, and finally got into port with part of a cargo of oil, your share not being enough to pay your outfit bill. That's a hard v’y’ge! ’ And so it goes, which, if the dog­ watch wasn't nigh half spent, I might keep illustrating ot But I mind ono Being American born and bred. I’ve mostly sailed under my flag as a matter of principle, d’ye see? American sailors being scarce at beat, and our • ship*' fo’cfcles full of dirty foreigners for nigh twenty years past, growing worse all the time. I did moke a cruise in a Chinee junk in *65, but that was entire accident, as some night I’ll tell yon about. But in *72 I got stranded in London with wages to the States two-pound-ten, and throe-pound-five offered foreign. So it camo about I shipped in the brig Clara Desmoxfll bound for tho west coat of Africa. I knew tolerable well what part of; the cargo was like to be, but 1 was a little took aback when come to get fairly aboard I see thero was a young­ ish and au older gent which the steward •aid wss ■ missionaries, goin’ out to a mission on the Gaboon River. “The same old story; rum, gun­ powder, and missionaries. I’d rather it were you than me was goin', for you’re sure to como to grief somehow," says an old shipmate who camo down to see soe off. But tho missionaries wasn’t to blame for tho cargo, waa they ? In point of fact, sal found out after, they didn't | know what the cargo was, passage hav­ ing boon engaged for ’em by other par­ ties. But there's a certain class of folks always sneering at religion that likes to represent such things in the worst kind of light. It was in the middle of March, the toughest time in tho year on the English coast, in my way of thinking. We had a fairish wind through the Straits of Dover, and then it chopped round dead with half a gale blowing, and that thick you couldn't see the brig’s length half the time. There was eight of us before tho Blast, she being a lump of a brig, for English owners are more particular not to have their vessels sail short­ handed, os well they may, considering iho starvation wages. Four wore Booeians or Roosian Finns, two Irish, and one—the one which begun trouble —hailed from Australia under the name of Boxer, which wasn't his right name any more than mine is Horry Hale. There's some of us fellows in the forooas*lo that ain’t willing to carry a re­ spectable fam'ly name along with us. Boxer had been paid off from a deep­ waterman and blowed in something like fifty pouids inside of throe weeks. Bo when he come aboard he was that shaky Cap’n Gore wouldn’t send him aloft; besides, be was on the ragged edge of delirium tremens! Why, talk about selling one’s soul for drink, after he’d been aboard six hours Boxer would have sold his and all his relations’ to boot for a glass of liquor. Temperance lectures with illustrations! A vessel's fo’c’sle is where you’ll hoar and see 'em, and they ain't stareopticon views, either I From tho time Boxer found out thero was rum in tho hold, I thiak he grew crazier. He begged like a dog for Cap’n Gore to give him tbe least drop, but the old man was solid against it, and dosed Boxer with valerian and •uch. Boxer kept his bunk, and it was all hands on deck the biggest part of the time, so wo never mistrusted what he wm up to. First I took much notice of either of the passengers waa when we was three days out beating down channel under reefs, somewheres midway betwixt Cape La Hague on tho French c Ast and Prawle Point off Devon. The old­ est of tiie two, a Mr. King, was sick, of course, but this younger on*, a Mr. Venn, didn’t seem to nave an idea of He was a slim, palish sori of chap, but come to look oloae at him, I no­ ticed he had considerable muscle and all toonoehe and grabbed holt and surged down on it tiler “sing out," “my says to myself, “your . in a tarpot, or I lose Tnlmtem C.p'a,- ho says, in a quiet sort of way, “and it’ll do me good to stir round with the men a little—I’d like to." Cap’n Gore stared, and smiled in his dry wav, but said nothing. And Mr. Vonn did stir round. We h»d two reefing jobs before noon — first a single then a double, and both times I’m bliwsed if the young feller wasn’t to tho weather yard arm hang­ ing on to the lift with his oarrin’ ready rove to haul out, before we men was fairly on the yard. Yet he didn’t forget his profession neither. It was Kelly, the worst swear­ ing man aboard, stood next him, and when Kelly begun his regUar cursing, Mr. Venn says: “Mr. Kelly, your own priest would tell you you were endangering your soul—and the sail down'I pick up a bit eaeier, either* “Right Ton are, parson," says Kelly, and Mr. Venn was the “sailor parson" after that with all hands. He knew just what to say and when to say it— and we fellows'took to him mightily, ’specially as all but sleeping for’ard he filled Boxes place in the watch day and night But it was awful weather, and we were two days and nights beating to wind­ ward 'before the Eddystone light showed up. This was early Bunday forenoon, and when the watch was sent below, Boxer wasn't in his bunk. Now there was only a board bulkhead twixt the fo’c*ale (which was below deck,) and tho for'ard hold. Then, somebody noticed one of the boards was loose, whilst there was a tremen­ dous smell of rum in tho fo’c'sle itself. Wo mistrusted what it meant in a minute. Wo shoved the board away— and tho whole thing comes to mo now like a photograph. What with tho rolling and pounding, s>~me of the upper tier of tho cargo had shifted. Three or four of the pow­ der kegs was stovo atop of the punch­ eons and casks of rum, and thc^o sat Boxer in the middle of ’em. One of tho half empty kegs was jammed down into a heap of loose powder to stiddy it, and in the end bungnolo was a lighted tallow dip with paper round tho butt to keep it in. place! Boxer had somehow got a big gimlet from the carpenter's room and tapped a rum puncheon. And thero he sat a-straddle of it like a seafaring Bacchus, drinking tho raw liquor out of a tin pannikin as though it was water, while every time tho brig rolled a little heavier than usual, you could see tho pow­ der-keg with the candle in it work back and forth in tho powder heap. I’vo been scar’t in my day, but never nothing like that I only wonder my hair didn’t turn white in a minute, as tho story writers say. I don’t think as quick as some, and while I was. standing staring, Peter, ono of tho Finns in my watch, had run aft to Cap’n Gore, and the next thing I saw was tho old man standing right behind me with ono of those Prooshan army “needleguns" cocked and ready for action. “Hullo, Cap," Boxer sung out, wav­ ing the pannikin round his head, crazy as a coot, “como on, and have just ono drink before it’s too late.

Passengers included, there were fourteen of us all told at the mercy of one sailor, crazy drunk I and as he lurched for’ard, having the idea of anulfing the candles with his fingers so wo could sec, Captain Goro jerked tho gun to his shoulder. “God forgive me!" I heard him say sort of under his breath, as he steadied himself and glanced along the barrel. “Wait one moment!" *■ It was the parson; and, as he spoke in a half whisper, he pulled tho captain’s finger away from the rifle's trigger guard. “Step back," ho whispered, and pushing himself in front of Captain Gore, who was struck aback for the minute, ho sung out: “Dacy—Charlio Dacy!" Drunk and crazy—both, in fact— Boxor started back like he’d been shot, instead of being within a hair’s breadth of it. Before Boxer could speak the parson Sneezed himself through the narrow , ace in the bulkhead and gripped Boxer's two wrists in his hands, which I never would have believed were so strong. “Charlie," tho parser, says, solemnlike, “you aren’t yourself, come------” But “Charlie,w as he called him, wu-m’t himself by no manner of means, and ho grappled the parson with a yell that was awlul. But tho parson hung on with a death-grip, and we fellows broke through the bulkhead to help him. It wasn’t long before that caudle was in safe hands, I can tell you, aud then Boxer, lashed hand aud foot, wrfn car­ ried into the fo’c’sle and tied in his bunk. But all this while the mate was iu charge of the deck, and the wind hauling further and further to the south’ard and east'ard, was driving tbo brig to loo’ard. And just as Cap’n Gore run on deck the reefed foresail bust and blowed into rags in a twinkling. The brig’s sails were old anyway, and the fore-staysail went flying after the foresail. And before we oomd get new ones bent the Clara Desmond was drifting to loo’ard to’ard Burr laland, where the breakers ran half masthead high aa far aa we could see.

A curious smile flits about her mouth. “My opportunities for match-making being so ven- excellent, it is a wonder that I am still in tbo market,” she says lightly and scornfully. Bolton ignores this sarcasm, and again buries his nose in his novel. Sonqs seconds elapse. Loo rises, goes to the door and gives the maid the money for which she has been waiting outside, then returns to her chair. The thick, yellow envelope lies un­ opened on tho table. Loo picks it up. examinee the seal, furtively tries the point of a pin along the edae of the flap, and ogain calls out to her father, “You haven’t read your letter.” Inwardly anathemizing the corres­ pondent, whoever he, or she, may be. he takes the unwelcome epistle, and tears it open.

The coaches arc already full to overflowing os the bell rings and the engine comes imazv B brief halt at a wavside lyWVyjs platform in the very heart an °P€Q pnurie. Evferybody looks expectantly for everybody else to leave his or her seat; but as nobody makes his or her exit, the passengers proan with inward dismay nnd vexation as the possibility of a fresh influx of people dawns upon the mind. Heads pop out of the windows, eyea sweep anxiously up and dowq tho open prospect. An audible sigh of relief surges through the crowded train, as one figure only is espied upon the plat­ form outside. A young lady attired in mourning takes her place in the cars, and every­ body draws a long breath, as at some danger that is either passed or averted. Each passenger secretly determines in his own mind to resist every effort of the conductor tending toward “mov­ ing up a little." And with one accord each and all stare bard at tho new­ comer. She enduros the ordeal of the eyes gracefully. Chaperoned by the urbane ticket­ taker, she passes slowly through the different coaches in search of a scat. The lady is young, handsome. But nobody rises to make way for her. The conductor grows savage. Ho elbows the fortunate possessors of seats ; he pushes them about rouguly—bulliee them. All to no purpose, however. The fact remain* that tbe train is al­ ready too full of people. Nobodv con­ sents to make room for the lady, for the simple reason that there is no room to spare. The conductor becomes pitiless. He drops mysterious and scathing insinu­ ations derogatory to nineteenth century gallantry. Insinuates that in this grace­ less age of progress amtlemcn are “few in number and difficult to find," and odds injury to insult by italicizing “gentlemen.” But nobody resents it; evidently no­ body hears. Perhaps his audience had suddenly grown deaf to suit tho occa­ sion. The lady whimpers: “It is really of no consequence. I can stand.” But the eondnetor’s blood is up. He glares furiously at the shining row of bald heads in front of him. But, bless you I the bald heads don’t mind it; not a bit “Madam, you shall not stand,” he says savagely. “In the next car per­ haps we may be more successful. “ They proceed in state to the rear coach, the conductor leading the way with a great show of gallantry, the lady following. • Alas! Here they meet with the same result “The coach seems to be full," Bays the conductor, evincing disappoint­ ment "The coach is full.” assents a tipey passenger, who is trying to preserve his equilibrium on th© wood-box in the corner. “The coach is full; fact is, everybody's full—everybod v." Homebody snickered. The conduc­ tor bit his lip. The lady blushed. But a very old man in a threadbare suit of clothes now rises slowly. ‘‘The lady can have my place.” She drops into tho seat without a word of thanks to the old man, but she smile* very sweetly, indeed, up into the face of the conductor. Tbe conductor, glad that she is set­ tled at lost, marches away, and with him goes the old man into tho smoking­ car. When they are gone my lady turns about and scrutinizes the face of the girl who is to bo her companion in the seat It was a bright face, framed in a lit­ tle cottage bonnet, whose drab veil was folded decorously across the brow, and crossing behind, the ends were brought in front and tied in a snug and becom­ ing bow under the round and dimpled chin. A cheerful spirit looked up st the new-comer from the violet eyes in the becoming bonnet. “Let us simplify matters nt once," says she of the bonnet, “by introduc­ ing ourselves and becoming acquaint­ ed. lam Miss Lafarge, going to live with my forty-third cousin at Stubble­ field. This is my first journey, and I am perishing for someone to talk with. Tho old gentleman who haa just gone wm a stranger to me.

The next instant Miss Lafarge Laughs softly, saying: -jjo yOn know—I have absurd notions al»oiit what it takes to. consti­ tute a gentleman. With me, the ques­ tion of wh*t is on the body is of less moment than what ia in it, and the mo­ tives which actuate the behavior. Really, I thought‘him—pardon me, I still think him—a geutieman.’ Now the new-comer laughs, softly, to Im) sure,'and mus'oally, too. But she laughs in a 'tray that'shows she does not share tho absurd opinion of the other. Then she opens a tiny lirfShbox which she has carried in her hand. t kes tLprefrom a slice of cake, a tiny\ bottle of wine, and a tinier gloss to sip , it from, and proceeds to make herself comfortable. "It was ao early when I left home this morning, that I could eat little or no breakfast before setting out oh my journey,” alio says apologeti­ cally ; “so I brought a lunch along, and I find' that a jaunt of fifteen miles across a windy prairie has given me an appe­ tite for eating. Will you have a bit with mS7" , Miss Lafarge accepts the invitation os frankly as it is given. The two ladies ore soon chatting volubly over the re­ spective merits of the cake and wine, and time flies. Like some great smoking monster, the train goes sweeping along ovce the level reaches of the prairie, through the deep cuts in the sandy hills. On, and on, and on, and on. Miss Lafarge has had time to chatter into lhe ear of her companion every thought she ever had. They have di*-: cm»ed dispassionately the various merit* of crewel work and Kensing­ ton atitoh. They both agree in think­ ing Howell an overrated man. And, alter a bit, b >th pause, as if by mutual consent, and there is a lull in the con­ versation. .Btill the train rushes along madly, for miles and miles, for hours and hours. The lady in black stares blankly out of the window. On the contrary, Miss Lafarge composes herself for a nap. She shuts'her eyes and dozes. Worse, she even snores. Her companion turns finally a glance of contempt on the quiet face at her side. “ What doos she know of life and its poeaibilitiea?” muttered the lady in black. “Lafarge, von are a baby; an inane, insipid baby." This, with a tightening of tho lips across the white teeth, and a gleam of something like fury in the handsome eves. The lady in black suddenly puts her face down close to her sleeping com­ panion. Her eyes shine with a wicked triumph, her teeth gleam. She looks as if sbo were going to bite. She is going to bite. She draws still nearer, the beautiful scarlet lips are smiling. Miss Lafarge moves uneasily in her sleep. The handsome, wicked face— for it is devilish in its expression now— is close to that of her intended victim. Miss. Lafarge suddenly opens her eyes wide. Sho gawps, springs to her ecL A tremor seizes upon the lady in black. She shrinks, pales, grasps the back of tho scat with both her hands. A shiver runs through the train. “Whut is it," cries Miss Lafarge, wildly. “Nothinc,” is the cold reply. “Be quiet. You havo been asleep, and have wakened suddenly." . “I felt as if something was going to happen,” says Miss Lafarge, j>ptting her hand to her head, “something ter­ rible." Even as sho speaks there is a crash. The coaches rock and reel; they rise in air; they topple. The next instant, engine, cars, and all on board go crash­ ing to destruction through a rotten railroad bridge. For a moment, dreadful sOonca reigns. Then the air resounds with the shrieks and groans of the wounded and dying. Smoke and steam and flames rise up from the shattered coaches, which are piled in shapeless heaps on the floor of the gulley beneath the broken bridgo.

War is full of horrors; but thero is nothing sadder nor more dreadful about it than tbo cold, stern enforcement of military law in the execution of an offending soldier. , I Such scenes were not rare in our 1 great armies; buttlie men never be­ came familiar with them. On such oc­ casions all the troops at hand were paraded nt tbe place of execution, in I order tbat they might be impresacd I with tbe solemn example. Nobody craved such exhibitions, nnd the infiicI tion of the dreadful penalty was always j regarded os a painful necessity. j Many a bod soldier who richly de­ served such a fate was saved from it by the clemency of Abraham Lincoln. His great sympathetic heart could never resist the tearful and pathetic appeals mode to him for condemned soldiers by tbeir wives, mothers, and children. There are men living to-day who owe their lives to tho pity of the great man who became himself the victim of blind hatred to the triumphant Union. But while tho trade of war taught soldiers to be kind and charitable to each other, the mart?’ spirit and tho soldiers’ regard for henor and duty led them to despise a shirk and to hate a deserter. During the laat year of my service I was several times a member of a gen­ eral court-martial; and I do not hesitale to say tbat in more than ono well­ ' proved case of desertion I voted to in­ I flirt the death penalty. It usually hap• pened that the necessary two-thirds : vote for this purpose could not be ob­ , tained; but that a majority of a dozen | officers could lie brought to favor it, j shows how quickly the spirit and tra। ditiona of the old army were imbibed . by the volunteers.

The pounding of tho artillery sent him fleeing to the rear. Ho wo* found hid­ ing in a ditch. In the midst of a stirring and fierce campaign, cowardly soldiers often oscapo punishment, because in the midst of tho marching aud fighting, thero is not time nor opportunity for a courtmartial. Should such a soldier redeem himself by good conduct before tbo campaign is over, ho is pretty safe from Eunishment Turpin s Captain probaly thought that it would be well to give tbe delinquent another chance. Thb chance was not long coming. On tbe hist of the next month tbo> regiment reached the line* outside Port Hudson, where ono Woody and ineffectual assault hod already been delivered. Wc all knew what awaited us there. Brave men marched into the riflo-pits, knowing that tho chances were large in any case that the soldier would never see home again. Tbe pros­ pect was too much for Turpin. Ho de­ serted on the way. I have seen men who were iu the crowded hospitals at L'aton Rouge at this time, who tell mo that Turpin was skulking about tho town. Alore than one who knew him warned him of wbat was in atore for him, and advised him to return to tho regiment. But he did not. Port Huron fell July 9. A few days after Turpin was arrested and sent to his regiment under guard. During the balance of the summer, and in the fall to near tbo end of .September, be was a prisoner under charges. Then bo was brought before a court-martial and tried. It is a peculiarity of tho admin­ istration of military justice that, after his trial, tho accused is not permitted to learn his fate until a long interval has elapsed, when the order of tho commanding General is published, re­ viewing the case. This painful inter­ val lasted, in Turpin’s case, till Decem­ ber 7th. Then the order of General Banks was promulgated, confirming tbe proceedings. The accused had been tried for misbehavior before the enemy, disobedience of orders, conduct to tho prejudice of good order and military discipline, and desertion. He was found guilty of each charge, and was sentenced "to be shot to death with musketry.” Only a few weeks since I was con­ versing with tbo Colonel of Turpin’s regiment about tho case. “He was a worthless fellow." said tho Colonel, “yet I hated to have him shot I know what his offense waa, and after be bad been court-martialed I antici­ pated what was coming. For moro than two months he was nominally in confinement with tbo regiment; but you know that a man in that situation, with his regiment in tbo field moving about, has many chances to escape. I must say now that I hoped Turpin would realize tho situation nnd put himself somewhere far out of reach.’’ But it was not to be. When the sen­ tence was published he was ordered to be sent to New Orleans under guard. There he was couflndk in tbo parish prison. Tho man seemed to realize very slowly the dreadful fate that was im­ pending over him. But on the 27th of December whatever hope ho may havo had was extinguished. Tho order was then iasued for the exocution to take 8lace on the Dftxt day at tho Vicksburg otton Press, in the presence of all the troops in the city not otherwise on duty. Tho kind and faithful chaplain, Bev. C. B. Thomas, who attended the wretched man during his last ho^rs, said tbat he appeared penitent and reasonably resigned io his fata. He expressed a wiir. that the reproach of his offenses and punishment might not follow his unhappy wife and child, in their far Northern home. Ho wished his name placed on his coffin and a prayer said over his grave. His last request was that tho chaplain would write to his wife “that bo believed God had forgiven him, and that ho died in a reasonable hope of mercy." The execution was conducted with all,the solemn details that make such ceremonies impressive. Tbe escort and firing party marching with reversed arms, to the wailing of tho dirgo by tho bands; rank after rank of infantry and artillery filling tho great inclosure of tho cotton-press; tho reading of the record and orders; tho blindfolded culprit, placed upon his coffin in front of tho firing platoon, just one musket being left uncharged, that each man of the detail might know that, perhaps, he was not to aid in the execution; the “Ready! Aim! Fire!” and the clearing away of the smoke showing the body of Charles Turpin on tho ground, shat­ tered to death by the bullet*' of his comrades. It was harsh—but just! Kissed Him for His Mother. At a small village in the mountain region of Tennessee, where a company of Federal soldiers were quartered, a report was started one day that a Con­ federate prisoner st the quarters had died. The report soon spread, and, reaching tbe mountain section, down came one of the belles of that region, who said she wanted to kiss tho dead Confederate for his mother. She ap­ plied at the headquarters for permis­ sion to see the dead soldier, expressing her desire by way of showing her love for the Southern cause. The officer of tbo day concluded to play a joke on Lieutenant L------ , he being in one of the back rooms of tho house used for a headquarters, taking a nap. As there was no Confederate dead the officer did not like to see the mountain beauty dis­ appointed ; ao ho told her the Confed­ erate corpse was ia tbo back room, showing her the way. When tbe door was opened there lay tbe Lieutenant form, and exclaimed, “Ob, let me kiss him for hi* motherat the same time pressing her lips to Lis brow. This rather novel procedure awak­ ened the Lieutenant, and he took in tbe situation at a, glance, clasped the mountain daisy in hu arms, and, re­ turning the salute, exclaimed: “Never mind the old lady. Go it on your own hook, got I’m willing." Before the little Southern lady could extricate herself from tbe Lieutenant’s embrace she was not only kissed for her mother but for tho whole family. I sec there is little in this de­ partment of your paper about the historic city of Charleston, S. C., nnd, os it is known now, the "Earthquake City." Right here wore enacted some of the most direful episodes ever heard of in the annals of American or Euro­ pean war. Thete, in that aad little city, was where I tried to do my duty os a “Southern soldier.” aud God and man can testify an to how well or poorly done. I saw as bravo men os ever lived tremble and others meet death with the stoicism of an Indian warrior. There, too, I saw brave and noble women driven wild in the agoniz­ ing terrors of war. It is not my wish to dwell on those terrible scenes, for there is a sorrow in some soldier’s heart that can never be understood. There, in that “City by tho Sea," my dear brother met hi* fate; there,' while standing by my side with all his proud strength, the whistling leaden Lail come and claimed him as its own. I often wish it htul been me in his stead! Did I stop fighting? No! As man or beast never fought before dyl I fight that day. Many a bravo Northern sol­ dier felt tbo same leaden sting that sent my brother 'neath the waves of the rippling Atlantic. It was on or-about the 16th of Feb­ ruary, ’63, that the destructive work which usually precedes an evacuation began in Charleston. All tho cotton stored at tho Northeastern Railroad depot was gathered in one huge pile in tho center of the yard and set afire; and by the 17th all tho cotton in the city was destroyed by fire. Lucas’ Mill, at the head of Mill street, was filled with rice, and several other de­ pots, which were estimated to contain over 250,000 bushels of the same grain, were also burned. In the evening of the 17th tho depot ot tho Northeastern Railroad was filled with a motley gathering of every size, sex, and color, taking what each was able to carry away. Women staggering under loads; children went by with aprons filled with rice or corn; old and crippled men and women, hardly able to get along, came away, under the ex­ citement, bent nearly double beneath tho weight of tho cereals they had se­ cured. When night came tho whole scene was made to appear hellish with firo and smoke: explosion followed ex­ plosion in rapid succession; tho huge gun mounted in the corner of the east and south battery exploded with a noise and jar that sho<jk the city like an earthquake; glus was shattered far and i.ear. Oh, tbe sickening horrors of that night! / How few were tho eyes that closed in slumber. The Confed­ erate forces were known to be with­ drawing from tho city, and with the army would go every able-bodied white man and boy in the cily. Tho* fire companies hod disbxnded; only negroes worked at the engines, and they kept time, as they worked, to the tune of 'Mmu gouo Mw*y: ulgg<T atay at iwaxc.* Toward morning everything got quiet, at leaat in our quarter, and sleep came to tired watchers. About 8 o’clock, on the morning of the 18ih some boys (such is the story) amused themselves by breaking open tho packages of pow­ der at the depot, carrying it in their hands and throwing it upon the cotton burning in the yard. As thev did time after time, they unconsciously laid a train from tho depot of powder to the fire. Suddenly, there was a tearful explosion, and the Northeastern Rail­ road depot was blown to atoms. Ru­ mor goes — never contradicted — that some hundred of thoee who were still plundering tho store were instantly killed. The fire swept square after square; beautiful homes, buildings of revolutionary fame, were laid in ashes. At 9 o’clock the cry of, “The Yankees are landing on Accommodation "Wharf," was raised. Men looked at each other, but only for a moment, and went off down Meeting street—Southern Sol­ dier, in .Chi. ago Ledger. Knocked Over Her Ash Hopper. In 1861, when General Patterson started toward Winchester, the vener­ able agriculturist in question came to camp to sell a load of vegetables to the men. He was told that thev would not trade with him unless he was ready to “swear,” that is, take the oath of allegiance. Not understanding the word in the new condition of atiairs, and supposing it to be taken literally, the old man opened out. He swore terribly, putting the “bad word” in front of the names of Jeff Davis, Floyd, Lee, and every rebel of any note he could remember. He swore until it looked blue all about, and then inquired if that would do. It is a pleasure to be able to state that he xaa promptly adjudged a loyal and trust­ worthy citizen. At this period it was a common" practice of the invading forces to capture citizens, administer the oath of allegiance and let them go, to discover afterward, aa a matter of course, that their real sentiments re­ mained the sanio. In this connection it is related that a scouting party from Fori Monroe had captured and brought in alive a vicious looking rattleansxe, and a question arose as to tbe disposi­ tion of the dangerous customer, when a partially intoxicated soldier hic­ coughed: “D-d—n biml s-swear him in and let him go!” As the war went an, however, and the people on the bor­ der were harassed by both armies, their feelings were well expressed by the old lady in East Tennessee, in ^de­ scribing a skirmish around her house: “Along camo Longstreet's walk-men, and along came Woolford’s critter men. and they formed a line of fight in my yard, and knocked over my ash hopper that I wouldn’t take two dollars and a half for.” �county circuit court ot outraging a lit- the crime.

YOURBUCCY FOR ONE DOLLAR < COIT’S HONEST During the recent hot weather a New York man said to his wife one evening: Katrine.I yust go me up stain mit the bath-tub and then tn bed. No more pusineM to night; it was too hot.” “Dose plinds are off dos windows. Frits, and everypody sees you.” waa was bis wife’s reply. . . "I wants no lights mit me, Katrine.” The tub stood in the room with a stove in it, and Katrine had polished the stove well that day. The stove polish had been left near the bath-tub, and Frits, in the darkness, mistook it for soap. He rubbed himself well with it from the crown of h’s head to the soles of bis feet, and rinsing it oft,as he sup­ posed, dried himself and went to bed. A short time after piercing shrieks summoned the neighbors. Katrine had discoverd, instead of her rightful spouse, a corpulent negro in the maritai couch. Frits was a sight to behold, his bath having imparted to hla skin a shining blackness. Explanations and a solemn vow by Frits never to take a bath again, at any rate, in the dark, ended tbe evening’s excitement. 0DDITIR8 I” * 8° You ’er® L*v<>rn a modern t ’ I hotel with every convenience, do you!"

They, the living, •re all married now, and living in houses of their own, "from Land's End to John O’Groat's;" but each summer the old home ia full of them and their families, and my dear grandchildren, sometimes a dozen of them together, make me youngugain -with their mirth •nd laughter and charming child-ways. And the picture? it hung there m my own ch-ldhood; It has hung there ever since. 1 thought it the bravest, handsomest picture that eould be; and not a child nor a grand­ child of mine but has been attracted to it from the time that anything was no­ ticed. No ordinary picture is it, you may be sure! If it Mad been mado in these cheap days of big imperial photo­ graphs, and colored lithographs, and <audv chromoe, there would be noth­ ing about it worth five minutes’ notice. But if you look in the lower left-hand corner, you will find the mark, “J. it. pinx., 1785, ’ and that, I may tell you, was the mark of Sir Joshua Reynolds, -the most famous painter of tho reigns ef the Four Georges. So it is a painting, and no common eno either. Those colors were laid on by a master hand. It is of grand size —six feet by four and a half. I could turn my eyes from it and describe every detail of it. A sailor-boy of twelve, hatless, and fair of face aa the pictures of the youtfnl Byron, site up en the high main cross-trees of the •hip, his beck to the mast, his left hand grasping one of the ropes by which bo has ascended to this dizzy height, his left foot braced against cross-ropes, his right foot swinging, his right hand resting on tho timber of tho cross-tree. His flaxen hair and the loose ends of his_neckerchief are blowingout; yet there is not wind enough below to rutile the .ocean, for, far down and tar away to the horizon, you see it stretching •a placid as a pond. An albatross is fly­ ing about the ship—the only other liv­ ing creature in sight. There he sits, clinging to the rope, his blue eyes gaz­ ing off over the wide ocean—O, so years past they have come to me, my children and grandchildren, •nd begged me io tell them about this handsome little sailor. “There must be some story about turn," has I men the common remark. “Indeed there is, my dear, and a good ■ne. You shall hear it," Tho time has come when it has been told to al! of them; even to little Mintoe, who has not yet given up her 4olls. So now th« great, kind public •hall be my children, and for the last tone will I relate the story of this bravo •ailor-boy. "When Captain Jacob Converse wan ■bout to leave London with the good •hip Cynthia, laden with a great varie­ ty of fancy articles for traffic with the natives of the far-off islands of the South Pacific, he bethought him that he had not secured him a cabin-boy. “And what d'ye want of a cabin*w»" asked his gruff mate, Mr. Hinds. “A, cabin-boy is mostly a little vaga­ bond who learns nothing aboard ship but to be lazy, to steal the goodies out •f your locker, and to tell tales of you to the fo’csstle. I wouldn't have such a fellow about" Bit the Captain aud Mr. Hinds dif­ fered on this subject, an they did on almost every other. Captain Converse w*| a mild and merciful man, who knew something by experience of the hard lot of the sailor, and wished to ■sake it easier. Mr. Hardy, on the eontrary. had just one theory •bout Jack Tar—namely, that he was a worthless guzzler ashore, and a laxy. sulky animal afloat, •nd that all that could be got out of him at sea must be got- at the rope's ■ad. He never gave an order but with ■a oath, and the day on a voyage that he did not knock down a seaman, either with hia fist or a handspike, was a rare day. Captain Convexae deplored his bad temper and asvsge ways, and had aftau seriously talked with him on tbe ■ubjeoC; but he could not bs changed. Tbe fact waa, the Captain waa too easy • man totem authority anywhere, and ■spacially over such a tyrannical brute as Hardy was. The crews of his ships •sffered everything, because the Cap­ tain had not force of character enough j I I i , Against his protest, the Captain en-1 gaged a cabin-boy for this voyage. He j waa the orphan grandson of one of the I legless veterans ot the Royal Navy, ' and he had been about Greenwich Hos- , pital so much, aud heard so many stir- ' ring stories of tbe sea from the disabled and superannuated tars laid up there, that he was longing to make a voyage. Captain Convene liked his bright looks and manly talk, and took him on this voyage. Tbe boy’s name was Rodney Barre, It is not necessary to the proper un­ derstanding of the story that all that befell the ship and her crew on-the voyage down the Atlantic and round tbe Horn should be told. It was then a voyage of .many weeks, as it is now, under sail. The Captain was mild and easy aa ever; the mate waa quite as brutal oa he had ever been known to be, and the quick, bright cabin-boy kept his eyes and ears open and learned something new every day about sea-faring. ' It was when tho Cynthia had got well up in the low latitudes of the Pacific that a groat disaster happened. For a week tbe Captain had been confined to his berth m his cabin by a low, listless ship-fever. In that week he waa unable to visit the deck, and Rodney was busy attending to him. The ship's chest had a few simple drugs and remedies, of which every shipmaster waa supposed to know the use, and Captain Converse attempted to prescribe for .himself. He did not make much of a suoceu of it. I think that if be hod known half the shocking treatment that the mate waa dealing out to tho sailors ho would have got upon deck some way and stopped it; but he did not, and Mr. Hinds' brutality went on till the catas­ trophe came. It camo on a still, quiet night, when the ship was hardly moving through the water. The Captain was slightly delirious, and Rodney was awake al­ most the whole night, wetting his head, and g ring him powders nnd drink. About midnight the cabin-boy heard strange noises from tho deck. There were shouts and cries, a pistol­ shot; and later, the sound of oars in the water, rounding tbe ship's stern. Rodnoy looked out through tuo bull'seye window, but tho night was dark, and nothing was in sight. Ho thought ho would go cautiously on deck and reconnoiter. Ho tried tho oabin-door, and f >und it locked. When tho long hours of tho night had passed, tho Captain woke from his slumber and was conscious. The boy told him what ho had heard. “Something dreadful has happened," tho Captain groaned. “Take a hatchet from the locker, break the lock of tho door, and find out what's wrong." Something very dreadful had hap­ pened, and Rodney was not long in finding it out The mate was propped up against tho foremast, with two knives driven through his breast and a bullet-hole in his hood. A white paper was pinned to his coat, scrawled over with rude characters, which tho boy deciphered aa follows: “Sir CapL: We likes you, and we would not hurt you nor tho boy; butthis here brute had to be put where tho devil will giv him tho rope's end. We start him on his vige, and wo goes our ways. Fair well, and may you make port safe." All around this queer letter were signed the names of the seamen, "round-robin" style, so that, in esse they were caught, tho names of the ringleaders would not be known. Rodney looked from tho horrible spectacle of the deck and saw that there whk a dead calm. The sea was like glass. The sails of the Cynthia idly flapped from the yards. Not another sail was in sight' The mutinous and runaway crew had taken the long-boat and the jolly-boat and were now far beyond call or sight Rodney took the paper and went back to the cabin. Trio Captain, weak and sick as he was, helpless and un­ nerved, hoard the boy’s account and fell back groaning on his pillow. “God be merciful to us!" he cried. “It is a judgment upon us for not standing between Hinds and my poor sailors. I knew my duty, and I did it not Boy, we shall starve; we shall drift helpless till the storms carry us to tho bottom. Poor innocent that you are, I have involved you in my punish­ ment" Rodney Barre was but twelve years old; but*"the child is the father of the man." and the hero-spirit of his later years began to shine out in him. He talked cheerfully and soothingly to the sick Captain, and told him whet ho thought he could do. There would be no danger, he said, while tbe calm con­ tinued; and, before a gale came up, he hoped to signal some vessel and get re­ lief. "How, I'd like to know?" fretfully interrupted the Captain. “I’ll run up the Union-Jack, union down, to the main top-mast." “WelL But there's no water nor food in the cabin lockers, here. Ten to one some of those sailors locked up the bulkhead door and threw tbe key overboard. How will you get to the hard* biscuit, salt-junk, and water casks?" “I can find an axe," said Rodney. “I’ll break in." "Good." said the Captain, drowsJy. “Take command of the ship, lad; I can’t stay awake. Hinds said I mustn't bring you, but I think the hand of God was in it." While the Captain slept Rodney be­ stirred himself. Ho found the bulk­ head door wide open, and brought down into the cabin provisions and water enough for weeks. The disagreeable job of pulling out the knives and roll­ ing the body of the mate overboard was next pet formed by the boy. Then he got the Union-Jack from the cabin, and wrapping it about him under his arms, be went up the shrouds, up the ropes, till he stood on the main croastreea. He seized the halliards, rove the flag to them, and ran it up to the very peak of the main-mast There was no breeze on deck; in that lofty height there was juat enough to shake out the folds of the bunting, and show that the union was down, the signal of distress. The boy sat down, grasped the rope, and waited. He tmaun©d the horizon in every direction. Nothing appeared but an alliatross and some noisy gulls. He knew that the Captain’s slumber would continue at least two hours, and he remained aloft to watch. .His little soul was strong with hope, was firm with trust in God. His courage and faith were rewarded, for on the horizon at last appeared a white speck; it slow­ ly but steadily grew, it became a sail, it waa surely approaching the forlorn Cynthia, and Rodney descended to the deck aud returned to tho cabin, to tell the Captain the joyful news. Before dark the 'Cynthia waa hailed by the good ship Dumbarton Castle, of York, and the cabin-boy boldly told his story through the Captain's speak­ ing'trumpet Men enough were spared by tho Castle to take the Cynthia into port Ship and cargo were saved, and the cabin-boy received from the own­ ers in England, months later, one hun­ dred pounds for his services. “But who was the cabin-boy?" the children always asked, at thia point "Years later,** I would say, “he was known as Admiral Sir Rodney Barre, It N. The errata I have described occurred in 1770. When Sir Joshua painted the picture Sir Rodney, al­ though only twenty seven, was a post­ captain, and had seen sea-fights in hia own ship." “But how did you get the picture?" would be tbe next question. “Well, my dears, it so happened that the Admiral was my father. Ho mar­ ried when be waa of middle age; I was his only child. God has allowed me so long a span of life that I can talk to tho Admiral's great-grandchildren about him." It was wee Minnie who remarked at this point, looking at the picture: * “Why, what a nice little sailor-boy our great-grandpa waal" ‘•Long John” and the Mail Bags. Years ago, when "Long John" Want­ worth was ('hicago's representative in Congress, the Government used to send- out its rojiorta wrapped up in twobushel corn sacks or mail bags. So whenever a man got a public document through the courtesy ot the Congress­ man of his district, ho also got a firstclass bag with it Just why the Gov­ ernment used bags, unless to gratify the whim of some farmer Congress­ man, instead of wrapping paper can only be conjectured. It did it and that is enough for this story. “Long John" as Congressman naturally re­ ceived everything in tho way of a “pub. doc." that was sent out, and with them many meal bugs. Hundreds of his constituents, too, received the books and bags because their names had been {>laced on the lists at Washington^at he long Representative's bidding, and most of them turned their bags over to John with the understanding that they would be returned by him to tho Gov­ ernment Ho, however, with that thrift that has ever been his distin­ guishing characteristic, and that in a measure accounts for his payment of $100 taxes, per year on $1,000,000 worth of property, sent tho bags out to his farm in Will County, where they were used to carry corn to town. The bags were of tho best quality, and they proved a valuable addition to the equipment of the farm. Oue day the authorities of tho Post­ office Department took a notion that they would like to get back some of the “pub. doc." bags, and a secret order was sent out to inspectors, instructing them to seize all the bags they could find. The inspector at this point was Paul H. Denis, tho present claim agent of tho Illinois Central Railroad. Mr. Denis first ascertained that "Long John" had been shipping bags out to his farm by wholesale, and then he planned a raid on the farm, which he speedily carried into effect He went out there one afternoon, when he sup­ posed "Long John" was snoring peace­ fully in his room, and entered a little outhouse 'in which. he found stored nearly five hundred Government mail bags. To seize tho lot and load it into his wagon was the work of less than half an hour, for M.r. Denis was a young and vigorous man at that time, but to get tbe bags off the farm with­ out trouble waa another thing. The inspector had scarcely started away from tho outhouse when the towering form of the Congressman appeared in tho roadway just ahead. "Long John” camo up at a canter, growhug execra­ tions and deep-toned curses at every jump, but before -he could reach the outhouse the inspector and the bags were gone. Denis saw that ha must re­ sort to strategy if he would avoid trou­ ble, and he turned his hone off the road and started across a wheat field at a furious gallop. "Long John” wheeled round and started in pursuit of tho daring officer, calling at the Up of his voice for him to stop, but the of­ ficer paid no heed to him and kept on until ho got clear of the farm. The hone proved to be too fleet for the Congressman, and he gave up the race in digust when he reached the open gate. The Government got back its bags, and Inspector Denis got abused by “Long John."—Chi ago .Herald. Two Flacky California Girls.

Story of ths Collision cn the Chicago and Atlantic Railroad at . Kouts, Ind. Tbe Blame for the Wreck Lire Be­ tween the Crews of the Two Trains. [Special telsgrnm from Kouts. Ind.l The worst horrors of Chais worth were duplicated here Tuesday. A dozen blood­ stained, smoke-begrimed, injured victims of railroad careieeeness or blundering were brougEh into the village's little station­ house, and nins charred corpses, victims of the Same blundering or carelessness, were laid upon the station platform, while three miles west, down tho track of the Chicago and Atlantic Railway, near a lonely old waler tank, piles of fearfully tangled debris marked the spot where a col­ lision seldom equaled for terrible results had occurred. Boone Grove consists of a station build­ ing and a simple little store. It is fortynine miles out of Chicago on ths Chicago and Atlantic road. The roadbed eutack oa a heavy down grade, which runs two and a. Half miles west of the State ditch. On the north of the track is a large water tank. The country thereabouts is a wide prairie, relieved but infrequently by sparse growths of stunted trees. There Is do habitation within a mile of the water tank, immedi­ ately m front of which Tuesday’s terrible accident occurred. Conductor Parks was in charge of the train when it left Chicago. The train proceeded without accident to Hulbert's, six and one-half miles west of the scene of tho accident. There one of the eccentric straps of engine 26 broke, and Engineer Barney Connors disconnected one side of tbe engine and ran, ao it is termed in railway parlance. “on one leg." or with only one piston rod. He pulled his engine into Boone Grove thus crippled. He tele­ graphed tidings of ^AHpaccidsnt to Hunt­ ington and then resumetLhis run. with half force. He 'passed the water tank on tho prairie, then reversed his engine nnd went back for water. Half a mile back, an a warning to trains following, stand *the semaphore lights, which were properly turned. At 8:15 o'clock a freight train composed of refrisator care laden with dressed beef and fruits left Chicago. It was due al Boone Grove at 11:08 o'clock. John Dor­ sey, the engineer, bail instructions to "rush through." The night was heavy and foggy as ho pulled out of Boone Grove a few minutes late and started down tho steep grade, unmindful of any danger until he had passed under the semaphore lights and caught a sudden glimpse of the danger signal* dangling from the rear of the pas­ senger train. He reversed the engine, sounding several piercing blasts of warn­ ing which sent tbe trainmen scurrying over the cars to set the brakes. But tho im­ petus of tho heavy train was beyond such trifling control. The engineer aud fireman | jumped for their lives only a few seconds . before the engine crashed through the Pull- ' man sleeper. Tbe passenger train was driven ita own | length ahead and then tbe rear coach forced , its way through and on top of tho coaches in front. The freight engine was wrecked ’ entirely. Its tender was thrown over the ! engine and onto the coaches, while eighteen refrigerator ears were strewn zig-zag across the track or piled in an indescribable mass —one within the debris of another. Dressed beef sufficient to feed an army was scatter- ! ed in the adjacent fields, while fruits lay I about aa plentiful us though rich orchards had yielded their bounty to the earth and | been spirited away. The ready and dangerous stove in the ’ second coach responded at once to the deafening invitation the crash of the col­ lision otiered to join in the wreck of de­ struction and death, for the heavy Pullman had scarcely settled into position after its terrific plunge through the two coaches when fire added its horrors to the already terrible scene. All tbe fatalities were from tho flames, which instantaneously enveloped tho shattered cars. Conductor Parks, Engineer Connors, and all tho trainmen escajxd miraculously, and immediately set about tbe rescue of the doomed people imprisoned in the burning wreck. They worked in the face of the flames, drawing away from their grasp all within reach until they were com­ pelled to desist by the fire's dangerous ad­ vance. On either side of the tangled wreckage, reaching out from ita midst, wei^ the heads, arms, or feet of thepasi^ngers wbo lagged piteously to be released before the dames took them in their fatal embrace. Little Herman Miller was found under the foremost ooAcb. his arms extend­ ing above his head. Visible throngh the splintered timbers were the other members of his family, already in the throes ot death from the breath of the hoi dames , encircling them. In broken English the ' boy begged of those endeavoring to save ' him to save his mother and sister. The boy's head was split open, but he retained his coft>ciousuess until he, free himself from further danger, gazed back st the quivering forms of his father, mother, and sister encircled in flames. An unknown victim, who was caged in the vciy center of the debris—a large, pow­ erful nun—made a desperate bottle for life. He fought his way from one end bf his prison to the other end—100 feet away- in an effort to h<ep beyond the reach of tbe flames. He tore‘down the broken frames aa if they bad been reeds, plunged head­ foremost through the litter, or rooted up the earth to force bis passage from the path of the dames. As safety was about reached the flames descended in front of him, he inhaled thsfii. and falling, yielded up tho struggle. Of all the victims hia form alone retained any human semblance, for the tire leaned over the prostrate man aa if content, with victory over so stubborn a victim with­ out destruction. The collision is attributed to the care­ lessness of the engineer of the freight train which dashed into the delayed passen­ ger. The freight men, it is said, were warned to go slow and look out, bnt it seems they drove ahead, passed a danger signal at Boone Grove, aud three miles beyond ran into tbe passenger.

Evading tse Provost. While wo lay in camp near Chatta Dooga, one day there camo to us from that city a scouL He seemed to have no special business, bat a dose ob­ server might have noticed him in pri­ vate conversation with a number of tbe soldiers. However, from his visit, it became pretty generally known throughout the camp that the follow­ ing day a provost marshal would be there to search tho camp for goods that had disappeared from a supply train the niaht previous. Whether the “hurrying to aud fro’ that followed this news had any relation to it pr not, we will leave old soldier* to judge. However, it was a strange coincidence that there was some excitable move­ ment in eamp and mysterious visits to various points in .every direction. I began to consider whether a fellow could ever find an article hid’ ont in such a mixed company and in such confusion. On mature consideration I thought perhaps there were a few articles in my tent that needed care. Therefore I set about caring for them by remov­ ing my bunk, digging a deep hole, placing a box in the hole, packing tho dirt back as solidly as I could, scatter­ ing leaves over it very carefully to make the surface appear as natural as possible, and then replsced my bunk. The next day the Provost came, of course. A very thorough search wa* made. When they came to my tent I was lounging on my bank, a newspapcr in my hand, very deeply interested in —well, my v sitom, of coarse. “Hello I" called out one of the vis» itors. “Hello, sir! What’s wanted?" “We have orders to search this camp to see if there aro any goods to be found that were taken from tho supply train a night or two ago." “All right! Go al|ead, sir!" After searching every other place above ground in the tent they ordered, me to allow them to search the bunk. I sprang up, threw off everything tothe slats. “Look carefully," I suggested. “There may be something buried under here,” suggested one, and began, scratching around among the leaves. Now my hair Ixigan to rise, but I dare not say a word. “This looks like fresh dirt." Now my hrir dill rise. “No doubt; there are plenty of-rats around." Then, putting on a bold front and assuming inditlerenoe, I added: “You would better dig; yod may find something." ' But they evidently concluded itwould not pay to dig, for after scratch­ ing around a little more they took their departure, satisfied that there waa noth­ ing there they wanted. The following day1, as I sat eatings some of the boys came in. “Where did you have these things? You must have kept them pretty close about” “Oh, they are safe, you bet!” Bat many of tho boys had hid their treasures too well; so well they could never find them. Jew H.

An Ohio Soldier in the C*ltlx Sergeant Mouser, of Company H, Fourth Ohio Volunteers, enlistod'from Marion, Ohio, and became aa brave a soldier as the Huckeye State turned out He was the hero of several daring exploits daring the war, one of which is thus related. He was once on picket duty under command of a lieutenant when information was received of tho presence of a body of Confederate cavalry in the neighborhood, their evi­ dent intent being to drive off soxm fat cattle that were grazing on a farm * few miles away. Mouser obtained permission to go, asking only for a single soldier and the guide who hod brought tho in­ formation, and engaged to drive tho cattle in that night Reaching tbe house of tbe farmer who had charge of the cattle jnst after dark, he saw a. party of Confederate soldiers eating sapper within. Instantly dismounting, ho rushed in alone, and drawing hi* pistol commanded every man to keep hisscat and finish his repast “Yon are my prisoners," he said, sternly, and called from tbo door, commandingly, "Sergeant station your guard* about the house, throw out twenty horsemen ss pickets; send in on or­ derly to report to me in person as soon as your orders are executed.” 1 he parties at the table sat in amaze­ ment while he coolly secured their carbines, which stood in tbe oorner. The single soldier outside had instruc­ tions to give hia orders in a loud, im­ posing voice and gallop about the house to convey the impression that a squad of horsemen were on the presnisea. This being done, the guide appeared at the door, as orderly, and Mouser took his seat and calmly ate sapper. After this he took the soldiers and tho farmer and imprisoned them in the loft of th* house, nailing np the door, and shutting landlady and eook in the kitchens The one soldier then stood guard, sturdily holding the “fort" till a couple of Lrtiaty mountaineers went, in company with the guide, and drove tbe cattlsL , �I , U !

Many of the pattern bonnets ore made of velvet,-plush, or a:lk of soma bright shade. The prevailing idea iu color is an iridescent effect that is particularly charming. .It appears in plush, velvet, ribbon, and silk, and is sug­ gested in tho new feathers and plum­ age. Velvet and plush, with a.surgreen, have a shad­ ing of gold under­ neath; blue shows poppy - red, helio- shade,! and so on through almost the entire range of col­ ors. The contrasting colors are woven into the surface of the body of the fabric, and the pile is either short enough or thin enough.to allow tbe shade to show through. There are some very pretty new shot-slice for millinery purposes, in which - green rose-yellow changes into blue, olive into pink and gold, gray into Homanred, nnd ecru into gold and palest water-green. “Ribbons will continue to be much used, principallv for bows at the buck * of hate, like this pouf’.

Precisely which of the novel varieties will achieve popularity re­ mains to be seen. But certain it is al­ ready that no now gown intended to be stylish must be made up with a plain ;coat sleeve. Perhaps the simplest mod­ ification of- it is to merely cut tho i sleeve rather full and gather it into a i narrow velvet band, hooking under a i ' bow at the wrist. Where two materi­ als aro combined in tho costume, tho i top of tho sleeve is made of tho trim­ । ming fabric, or that which forms tho i vest, while the under part is of the plainer or predominating stuff; and in ] order that thia construction may bo < visible while the dress is on, the under ' half of the sleeve is cut nearly as wide : as i tbe top half, and is put in so that tlie ;underneath shall come, at tho arm­ : hole, not for below the point of the shoulder. In another style of sleeve, i the top part, from the shoulder ' to just below tho elbow, is fully gathered, and put into a tight-fitting । •cuff which covers tho arm from the wrist up to tho elbow, and which but­ tons down the back so tbat it may fit quite tightly. In yet another gown, the top of the sleeve is trimmed across with bars of velvet One pretty demi­ toilet dress, of mignonette silk, has tho elbow sleeve slashed o]>en, show­ ing a fnll white lace insertion apparent­ ly held down in its place by straps of ,gold passementerie an inch wide, which cross and recross in a moderately close trellis; a narrow full vest of white lace, half-high, being similarly barred over with the beautiful bullion embroidery. A velvet or a braided epaulet, oven, will suffice to redeem a sleeve for a plain dross from reproach; or a coat sleeve will pass muster if made of a different material from the major por­ tion of the bodice—as a velvet sleev** with a plain twee.l gown, or a plaid Bleevo with a self-colored material bodice. Is it, I wonder, our climate alone that prevents us from ever emulating in our dress the unconstrained and un­ pretending grace of tbe Grecian cos­ tume, in which Mary Anderson looks her loveliest as the dual heroine of “The Winter’s Tale?” The peasant girls who dance with Perdita at the shearing feast—in which scene Miss Anderson is grace impersonified—are all dressed in a sort of Greek robe, shortened slittie and ffirt in a trifle, to make it workable-looking; but still so ntj uid Ire., uul with.1 elegant th.t it » ■ sight to nuke ererybodr in corsets and tighl-wsisUid snd lullskirted gowns quite envious.

You shall hear it.” Tho time baa come when it has been told tc all of them; even to little Minstie, who has not yet given up her 4olls. So now the great, kind public •hall be my children, and for the last tone will 1 relate the story of this bravo •ailor-boy. ■When Captain Jacob Converse was about to leave London with the good drip Cynthia, laden with a great varie­ ty of fancy articles for traffic with the natives of the far-off islands of the South Pficific, he l>ethought him that fee hod not secured him a cabin-boy. “And what d’ye want of a cabin­ boy?” asked his gruff mate, Mr. Hinds. “A. cabin-boy is mostly a little vaga­ bond who learns nothing aboard ship bet to be lazy, to steal the goodies out cf your locker, and to tell tales of you to the fo'castle. I. wouldn’t have such • fellow about" Bat the Captain and Mr. Hinds dif­ fered on this subject »* they did on sdmost every other. Captain Converse was a mild and merciful man, who knew something by experience of the hard lot of tbe sailor, and wished to make it easier. Mr. Hardy, on the •ontrary, had just one theory •bout Jack Tar—namely, that he was a worthless guzzler ashore, stud a lazy, sulky animal afloat, •nd that all that could bo got ont of him st sea must bo got ■ at the rope’s •nd. He cover gave an order but with sc oath, and the day on a voyage that he did not knockdown a seaman, either with his fist or a handspike, was a rare day.

The Outlook for the Winter Hewxm—Chicago Securing Young Talent for Next Year. ’ [CHICAGO COBBESPONDEXCE.] The last iramos of the Base-Ball League championship Beason of 1887 have come and gone, and the questions that have bees caked again and again by lover* of the national game in every city aud hamlet in the country have been finally and irrevoca­ bly decided. Detroit now looks with pride and gratification al tbo silken champion­ ship emblem which will wave from the top of tha tall flagstaff upon its League grounds, while the pluoky and determined team which Harry Wright has commanded through tho season's campaign ia fairly swelled with satisfaction and gratified pride as its players glance back over tho season’s record, which gives them snob honorable mention, and places them in so enviable a position in the race at tho finish. In Pittsburgh's nine the Chicago team has met its stumbling­ block this year, and in the record of tho last week of the season, wixich-shoirs Chi­ cago'* portion to have been four defeats nnd one tie game at the bonds of tha Smoky City lads, rests tbe secret of Chicago's dis­ placement from second position in the pen­ nant race. However. Chicagoans aro sat­ isfied with thc record of tbeir Team. With nines composed almost wholly of new talent, the White Stockings have given theoldest and most thoroughly organized teams in the race a great bailie, aod only retired to th:rd place after it had fought a long, hard and determined fight against each and every one of the teams pitted against it. THE WINTEB SEASON. Now that the race of 1887 is over and the question of clnb standing settled, the ap­ proaching winter season of base-ball will, doubtless, open up with legislation of a character so important as to wake the com­ ing fall a memorable one in the history of the game. The troubles between tbo league mid the Ball-players’ 11 rotberhood, which have lieen. seething and boiling ever sinoe Johnny Ward started tho bail with tbo or­ ganization of tho Brotherhood, will doubt­ less be at once brought forward, and if the players who form the backbone of thc new organization adhere firmly to the policy they havo so distinctly outlined, it is diffi­ cult to see how a bitter fight between clubs and players can be averted. HOW THEY STAND.

My father built the house so near tho sea, "because ho had been a sailor all hia life, and he could not livo far away from salt-water. When he died, the place camo to me; and tbo man I married happened to bold an important position in tho revenue service, and it was precisely tho thing that wo ahonld live in this dear old home. So my children were born here, grow up here, and two are buried in the Cliff Ceme­ tery, over yonder. They, tho living, •re all married now, and living in houses of their own, “from Land's End to John O’Groot’s;” but each summer tho old home ia full of thorn and thoir families, and my dear grandchildren, sometimes a dozen of thorn together, make mo young again, with thoir mirth •nd laughter and cbaflfiing child-ways. And the picture? It hung there in my own chddhood; it has hung there ever since. I thought it the bravest, handsomest picture that eould be; and not a child nor a grand­ child of mine but has been attracted to it from tho time that anything was no­ ticed. No ordinary picture is it, you may be sure! If it had b^on made in these eheap days of big imperial photo­ graphs, and colored lithographic and gaudy chromos, there would be noth­ ing about it worth five minutes' notice. But if you look in tho lower left-hand earner, you will find the mark, “J. R. pinx., 1785,” and that, I may tell you, was the mark of Sir Joshua Reynolds, -the most famous painter of tho reigns cf the Four Georges. So it is a painting, and no common one either. Those colors were laid on by a master hand. It is of grand size —six feet by four and a half.

Many are borne away from tbe scene of tbe disaster, only to die of their wounds later on. Among the latter number was Miss Lafarge She and her traveling companion aro rescued, both m an unconscious con­ dition, and arc conveyed to a neighbor­ in gfarmhouse. They are divrobed and put to bed, and medical help summoned. Mias Lafarge is by far the greater cofferer of the two. She is burned shockingly, and perhaps fatally. Her head ana neck presens a frightful ap­ pearance, and sho is unconscious afid remains so. Her companion has escaped with a comparatively light injury, which con­ sists in a broken right arm. Presently the surgeons and physicians arrive. They consult each other; they argue; they disagree. In the midst of their arguments my lady struggles back to consciousness Sho realizes vaguely that she is no longer a “lady in black,’’ but that, at­ tired in a long white gown, with her arm tightly bandaged and held in a sling, she occupies a narrow cot in dose proximity to another cot, upon which lies a long, still object, covered over with a sheet.

Confederate Soldier’s Lament to her, after the momentary horror passes away; “inano little thing, she ought to have died.” The night settles down upon the scene. Morning dawns. And <ith the morning comes returning strength and a cleur brain. My lady insists upon sit­ ting np and being clothed, and asks for her gown. Much against her will, tho “motherly woman'' fetches in a quan­ tity of garments, and with great per­ turbation spreads them out before her guest for inspection. “You ladies were brought in here at the same time, and those who disrobed you not being here now, I am unable to say which one of the gowns belongs to you. The other lady being dead, poor dear—and laid out in the west chamber there—can’t tell me which is ■hers. So you will have to do it for her. ” My lady is a lady of fertile brain, and a mind that is (pick to perceive au opportunity, and here is an opportun­ ity . Will she use it! The lady closes her handsome eyes. She hesitates; and us is proverbially the case, “the woman who hesitates is lost " It is very evident tbe opportunity will not be lost, for presently she opens wide her handsome eyes, snaps her lit­ tle white teeth, and savs vivaciouslylying like a lord—or a lady, may be: “The gray things uro mine, please. The black gown belongs to my poor friend. If you will be so kind as to as-' sist mo a little, I’ll put my gowii on now." She rises, and with the assistance of the “motherly woman." attirea herself in the gray gown that had been worn by Miss Lafarge. Le roi wt mart. Vive le roi," she mutters, her white teeth gleaming as tho garment falls about her graceful figure “Lafarge is dead. Long live Lafarge.” "And then she laughs softly, and strokes the back of her velvety hands together, although the action gives ber pain, and brings tho tears to er handsome eyes. When all is done to her satisfaction, she asks her willing attendant very prettily to add one more kindness to tho many shtUias rendered, and bring pen, ink and paper. ■ This is done. And now she sits down to her task, for task it is to one in her condition, and grasping tho pen firmly in her loft hand, she tries to scrawl, and does scrawl tho following: Died, May 1. Judith Dnulthornc, of East Portland, from injuries rvoeived in tb® late X. Y Z. Railway dilutee. This finished, sho scrutinizes it care­ fully, nods her head with satisfoction, folds it as well as she is able, aud takes up h or pen again. This time the scrawl is only a matter of two lines, and is directed to btubblefi.l.L And it merely announces tho fact tbat Miss Chidley'a long-expected cousin and guest Marion Lafargo, will arrive at Stubblefield by tho after­ noon train on tho following day. These messages written, they aro at once dispatched to tho telegraph oflioe, for my lady, haring once decided upon a course of action, loses no time in the execution of the same. Then she site very quietly and medi­ tates for a little time; but not for long. The next thing sho does is to send for the nearest undertaker. And when this gentleman arrives, sho is quite pre­ pared with her little tale of woe. And she tells him of her poor friend who died so dreadfully the day previous, snd who was friendless and poor. And who had better bo—all things con­ sidered—buried qu'etly near tho spot whoro sho hod met her death. Thensho displays n comfortably filled purse, which she has discovered in the pocket of the gray gown, and she says, prettily and pathetically, that she'will herself pay tbe funeral expenses. And that, as she is obliged to resume her journey at tho earliest possible mo­ ment, ero she sots forth npon her way, she particularly desires to have tho mel­ ancholy pleasure of following the re­ mains of her late friend to the silent tomb. My lady looks so pretty snd so very sad, and her words tall so plaintively upon the undertaker's ears, that tho sympathies of the worthy man are at once enlisted. Tbe result being that, at ten o’clock on the ensuing morning, the poor, charred remains of tbe real Marion La­ farge are interred in the rustic burial ground close at hand, with my lady, in a hired carriage, acting tho part of chief mourner for the loss of one whom she hod known less than four-andtwenty hours. But all this has taken time. During the thirty-six hours that have elapsed since the disaster the railway company hare been busy. The wreck of the train has been cleared away. A temporary bridge has been thrown across tha chasm, nnd traffic is at once resumed. Tha pseudo-Lafarge hastens to claim the dead girl's luggage—which she ac­ complishes by means of the brass checks found in tha pocket-book along with the dead girt’s money. My lady pays her reckoning with the undertak­ er. makes a neat little speech, accom­ panied by a neat little gift to tbe “motherly woman," and then flita away. As tbe train goes screeching off with her at last, she leans her blonde head, in its neat cottage bonnet, back against the cushions of her seat, and smiles a smile of deep and unalloyed satisfac­ tion. And by and by, as time hangs a lit­ tle heayily upon her hands, my lady amuses herself in a desultory fashion by making little left-hand drawings on ft scrap of blank paper which she presentlv discovers in her traveling bag.

IME, four o’clock in the afternoon. Scene, a light, two-wheeled car­ riage at a dead stand-still in the mid­ dle of a country road, and Elizabeth Chidley, spinster, round, roly-poly and rubicund, bolt upright in the carriage, and glaring alternately first st the black imp perched up behind her on the driver’s box, and then at the two b!sck, balky ponies in front of her. Either way she looks, the picture of an ebony imugo of in* "bordination con­ fronts her. "Do you mean to telj me that you will not obey my orders?" shouts the angnr spinster. “Now, look a hero, mistiss," returns Obe, argumentatively,*“de good Lawd knows Tse willin’ ’nuff—’taint that But I done tele yer when yer bo’t dem Ingin bosses how’t would end.

' The attitude and appearance of tho ponies themselves testified to the truthftilnchS of Obe's statement They were evidently in a state of rebellion, and stood firmly braced on their short logs, stubbornly resisting every inducement to proceed that had, ao far, been brought to bear upon thorn. Miss Chidley grow purple from in­ dignation. . "Obe, take this whip and give them a few cuts across their bocks. They will, come to their senses then, I’ll warrant." At this, the ponies, a pair of wellmatched black beaats, whose diminu­ tive size and shaggy heads betrayed their origin—turned their pointed ears backward ss if they too understood the spinster’s command—and resented it. “Ibis ia enough to provoke a saint.'1 screams Mias Chidley, as tbe block boy makes no effort toward obeying. “Obe, give mo that whip. 1’11 start them or know the reason why. See if 1 don’t" "Bettor not," returns Obe cautiously, keeping a wary eye upon the willful horses. “Better not. I done tolo ver Tjout deso yer Ingins when ver got ’em — tricky os Satan hissolf. Guess yer’d best sit down, mistiss. Ef dey done atart on a sudden; yo’ll be mighty apt to feel onoomfurtable.” It seemed as if tho horses had made up their minds to “start on a sudden;" for, sure enough, they now lift their heels in the air, and the next moment, with a snort of disdain, dash forward and go tearing down tho road like veri­ table demons of evil. Obe grits his teeth and grasps the lines tightly, as the light carriage plunges from side to side, in danger of upsetting every moment, and Miss Chidley, collapsed and angrier than ever, flops down to the bottom of tbo vehicle a red and tumbled heap of womanhood. “Brace yo’self, mistiss," cries Obe, “brace yo’self.

To one who was in active service almost four years, there was something in the closing scenes of the war, in and about Washington, that powerfully stirred the dramatic side of the soldier’s nature. Many thousands of the vet­ erans who were there will read this sketch; and while it tells them nothing new, they may feel that their comrade bos conferred a favor by reminding them of incidents, dimmed by distance of time, and perhaps forgotten, which attended the “wind-up at Washington.” On the morning of April 15th, 1865, cur division was at Summit Point, Vir­ ginia, midway between Harper’s Ferry and Winchester. The war seemed about over, and here were, perhaps, six thousand soldiers who felt that they had done their share, and were impatient to be released. The spot was a magnificent one. The meadows and woodland sloped gently away fiom a high ridge, giving a pros­ pect for miles. On the high ground was the mansion of Mr. Wiilii, an obstinate secessionist, where the General had taken up his quarter*.

We marched out on tho north aide of the city in front of Fort Saratoga, and here we learned why we had been brought here. The division was to picket a long stretch between that fort and Fort Stevens. Tbe orders were to let any citizen in, but to allow no one to pSHB out For three or four days this duty was kept up, and a severe strain it was in the - warm weather Hundreds of people were turned back with tho solo explanation: “You can’t go out; it is our orders.” There seemed to be at least a suspicion on the part of tbe military authorities at Washington that the assassin was still in the city. When it was positively known that he wre not, the pickets were drawn in, and we had rest aguiu in a pleasant camp. • 'A few days later came tbe day when, by order of the War Department, a hundred guns were fired in memory of the illustrious dead. It was a deeply solemn ceremony. Washington was completely girdled by fortifications, and around tbe whole vast circle, in regular time and succession, the heavy guns boomed out a nation’s sorrow for the dead. And now Washington was a gigantic camp. The armies of thc East and West were concentrated there, prelim­ inary to the final break-up, by rail, by steamer, tome mar hing. Corps after corps, division after division, poured in, and were encamped everywhere in the suburbs, till the military popula­ tion exceeded the civil at least thrice. In those days the streets of the cap­ ital were thronged. It seemed as if the population or the co mtry was be­ ing turned that way. With'the others camo the' blacklegs, tbe sharpers, the disreputable classes, the whole making such a daily panorama as Pennsylvania avenue may not witness again. 'And it is unnecessary to say that the shop­ keepers of Washington throve and fat­ tened. and swindled the soldiers in the most barefaced manner. The 23d and 24th days of May, 1805—the grand review that fitly ended the great tragedy of four years’war! It quickens the pulse to think of it Two hundred thousand veteran soldiers, the saviors of this country, marching from tho Capitol past the President’s house, with burnished arms, proud banners; with one incessant and prolonged burst of military music! The firm tread of legions of infantry, the clatter of hoofs, tbe rumble of ar­ tillery! March, march, march!—mile after mite of those grand columns, hour after hour, for two entire days, passing in review before President, Cabinet, groat General, and the Diplomatic Corps! They passed in review before the peo­ ple, too. They ware there—the people —other hundreds of thousands of them. Along the avent e, from housetops to gutter, i hero was literally a mass of spectators, a glowing sea ot faces. Flowers were thrown and scattered upon us by the ton. One rolling cheer, one roar of acclamations, which was not allowed to pause or fail, shook tbe air. It was the nation gathered to sa­ lute its soldiers. It was tho last march of the armies; they proudly marched thence into h'atory! So it all ended; ind we who had been mercifully snared saw home again. One cf the minor incidents of the grand review, which was told at the time, will bear repeating. A tall, broad-shouldered veteran, who for some reason was not on duty, had established himself in a good place to see tbo sight, and kept his footing white the crowd wedgeci about him. “Sir," said somebody behind him, "don’t you know you are directly in front of us ?” It was a dapper little clerk, who was striving to get s sight for him&elf and his girt The veteran turned his head, and contemplate'^ him with cool disdain. “Yes, I’m in front of you—just ae I have been for four years!” There was nothing more to be said. After the Battle. The aspect of troops of all arms of the service,- writes Colonel J. B. Gandolfo, in St. Louis Globe-Democrat, is very different in battle from the trim and neat parade appearance, bnt no­ where is this difference so marked as in tbe artillery. It was always- most interesting to me to watch a battery going into action. The artillerymen were very careful at all times to be dressed 'strictly in accordance with regulations, and when a battery took position every cannoneer looked as if he had just prepared himself for in­ spection. Nothing could be neater and more uniform than their appear­ ance. Bnt this did not last long. ! As the Are began to get hot a jacket here and there would be thrown off; next the collars would goj and often the shirts. The men were' soon bathed in perspiration, which they would hastily brush off with their powderblackened hands, leaving great marks wherever they touched themselves. carried to tbo rear by their comrades, blood stains were added to the powder marks, and at the close of the fight the artillerymen, so remarkable for their fine appearance at ita opening, pre­ diers loved him; many of them had sented the moat horrible spectacle that seen him and heard his kind, quaint can be imagined. But they soon re­ speech. They mourned for him as for moved all trace of the fray, and by the a father. ' They thronged the out-door next day were as clean and neat as religions services that were held to ex­ press the universal sorrow at the be reavement, and joined fervently in the Paul H.

Soon after came tho order for tho arm. belonging to the Twenty-third division to proceed to Washington with North Carolina Regiment, says a Get­ all hasft.

And the conversation became generate “My God! you Han't mean to aay.” said tho North Carolinian, “that you are the man who lay behind that rock yon­ der?” “I do," said Jones. “Then yon are the identical man I shot; I sawyoa fait" “And you aro the fellow who stood behind that tree there, are youT Well, I’ll only say tbat I’m the iden­ tical individual ‘ made you lose that arm," said Jones.

Evading toe Provott. While we lay in camp near Chattel nooga, one day there camo to us from that city a scout He seemed to have no special business, but a close ob­ server might have noticed him in pri­ vate conversation with a number of the soldiers. However, from his visit, it became pretty generally known throughout tbe camp tbat the follow­ ing day U provost marshal would be there to search tbe camp for goods that had disappeared from a supply­ train the nurht previous. Whether'the “hurrying to aud fro” that followed this news had any relation to it or not, we will leave old soldiers to judge. However, it was a strange coincidence that there was some excitable move­ ment in camp and mysterious visits to various points in every direction. I began to consider whether a fellow could ever find an article hid out in such a mixed company and in such confusion. On mature consideration I thought perhaps there - were a few articles in iuy tent that needed care. Therefor* I set about caring for them by remov­ ing my bunk, digging a deep hole, placing a box in the hole, packing th* dirt back as solidly as I could, scatter­ ing leaves over it veiy carefully to make the surface appear as natural aa possible, and tlien replaced my bunk. The next day the Provost came, of course. A very thorough search waa made. When they came to my tent I was lounging on my bunk, a newspaper in my hand, very deeply interested in —well, my v sitors, of course. f “Hello!” called out one of the vis­ itors. “Hello, sir! What’s wanted?” "We have orders to search this camp to see if there are any goods to bo found that were taken from tho supply train a night or two ago.” "All right! Go ahead, sir!" After searching every other place above ground in the tent they ordered, me to allow them to search the bunk. 1 sprang up, threw off everything tothe slate. “Look carefully," I suggested. “There may be something buried under here," suggested one, and began scratching'around among the leaves. Now my hair began to rise, but I dare not, say a word. “This'looks like fresh dirt" Now my hair did rise. "No doubt; there aro plenty of rate around." Then, putting on a bold front and assuming inditierecice, I added: “You would better dig; you may find something." But they evidently concluded it would not pay to dig, for after scratch­ ing around a little more they took their departure, satisfied that there waa noth­ ing there they wanted. The fallowing day, as I sat eating, some of the boys came in. “Where did you have these things? You must havo kept them pretty cloeo about” “Oh. they are safe, you bet I" But many of tbo boys had hid their treasures too well; so well they could never find them. Jett H. Thompson, An Ohio Soldier in the Cadtl» Business. Sergeant Mouser, of Company H, Fourth Ohio Volunteers, enlisted frota Marion, Ohio, and became as brave a soldier as tbe Buckeye State turned out He was the hero of several daring exploits during the war, one of which is thus related. He was once on picket duty under command of a lieutenant when information was received of th* presence of a body of Confederate cavalry in the neighborhood, their evi­ dent intent being to drive off aom<. fat cattle that were grazing on a farm a few miles away. Mouser obtained permisaion to go, asking only for a single soldier and the guide wbo had brought the in­ formation, and engaged to drive tbe cattle in that night Reaching the house ot the farmer who had charge of the cattle juat after dark, he saw a party of Confederate soldiers eating supper within. Instantly dismounting, he rushed in alone, and drawing hui pistol commanded every mon to keep his scat and finish his repost “Yon arc my prisoners,” he said, sternly, and called from tho door, commandingly. “Sergeant, station your guards about' the house, throw out twenty horsemen aa pickets; send in an or­ derly to report to me in person as soon aa your orders are executed.” The parties at the table aat in amaze­ ment white he coolly secured their carbines, which stood in the corner. The single soldier outside had instruc­ tions to give hia orders in a loud, im­ posing voice and gallop about the house to convey the impression that a squad of horsemen were on the premises. This being done, the guide appeared afc the door, aa orderly, and Mouser took hia seat and calmly ate supper. After this he took the soldiers and the farmer aud imprisoned them in the loft of th* house, nailing up the door, and shutting landlady and eook in tho kitehen.

The evening was very cool, and as twi­ light came on there flew into his -attic a pair of carrier pigeons benumbed with cold and bewildered in the dark­ ness. Each bird had a bine silk rib­ bon around its neck and under the left wing an ivory tablet bearing the inscij ption: “Miss Rose Lovejoy, Carondelet, Ma, Sept. 2, 1887." Under the right wings were two letters, one ad­ dressed to Miss Janet Wheeler, Wasepi, Mich., and the other to George Sarpell, Valparais>, Indiana, Several quills in their wings were also marked with letters and numbers. There are in Paris about 8,000 art­ ists of the brush, of whom between 2,000 and 3,000 are women, and 300 are foreigners of various nationalities. About seventy of these are famous, while the others are made up of wealthy persons who paint for pleasure, of pe<> pie who are specially employed by the Government, and of tbe producers of “pot-boilers," who paint portraits and landscapes for cheap picture dealers or for foreign exportation. The models are only employed between the ages of 18 snd 19 by painters of the nude, but some of them find work until they are 25 or 26, after which their forms eompletely lose the grace aud contour of early growth.

A SUCCESMTUL experiment has been made at Bellevue Hospital with a tele­ phone probe for the location of bullets. A man who received a bullet in his body while attempting a burglary was the subject. A small steel plate was placed on the man’s leg. To one end of this was attached an insulated wire con­ nected with a telephone receiver, which in turn was connected with another wire, at the end of which was a prob­ ing-needle. This needle was inserted in the wound, and an electric current established. The needle was pushed in through tho wound until a slight clicking sound, heard by the operating surgeon, who held the receiver at his car, notified him that the current had been broken by the needle touching the bullet sought for. Further probing showed that the bullet had been cor­ rectly located in the man’s liver. The probe used is an improvement on that of Prof. Bell, with which it was sought to locate the bullet in President Gar­ field’s body, but which failed because, as Prof. Bell explained, it was too crudely constructed. "I would have implicitly trusted him with the combination of the safe, ” said a prominent mill-owner of Indianapolis, speaking of a man who had long been in his employ. It is a case of blind confidence in an employe, who had turned out faithless and dishonest The man had an important position in the mill and his department was never investigated. It finally occurred to the bead miller that the mill was paying more for flour by the barrel than the others, and he determined to investi­ gate. A man was put on watch and soon discovered that wheat was being systematically stolen and sold by tho suspected employe, who when con­ fronted with the facts admitted their correctness. Ar estimate of the short­ age was made and tho amount paid over to the miller by friends of tho employe. Out of respect to the man’s family and relatives, and upon satis­ factory evidence of his repentance, tho affair has been overlooked, and, though arrested, tho employe was sot at lib­ erty and even retained in the service of the mill. His name will be spared, and he will probably redeem his sin. At all events, he will be given every oppor­ tunity. ________________ Column or Two of Chat About tho Fair Daughters of Together with a Few Notes on Lstcst Styles In Feminise . Attire. "It is surprising to me,” said a dress­ maker, “that smocked frocks have not yet made their appearance in America. You thought smock frocks were quite out of date? Yes, ‘smock* frocks are very different affairs, and are quite the newestT&shion. The smock frock was formerly the ordinary garb of the En­ glish peasant, and in some old-fashion­ ed counties, such os Dorset and Somer­ setshire, it is still worn by a few of the more ancient inhabitants, old men as gnarled and twisted as their own apple trees. Shepherds, I’ve noticed,.as a rule cling to the smock, and very quaint and curious they look in it "What sort of garment is it? Well, it is worn outside of everything else, you know, and is a sort of very full, loose shirt of heavy white Ijnen, gather­ ed closely and even­ ly at the neck, and with full sleeves gathered at the wrista.

It has been adopted by French k RMOCXKD oowx.onus, ____ rtoo, ___ r__________ and some of the very prettiest gowns I saw in Paris were smocked, usually at tho throat and wruta, but sometimes all over the bodice and sleeves like this basque. How would I describe it? Well, there are several varieties of smocking. The most ordinary kind is a sort of trellis work, caught up at tho four angles with a bead or stitch, leav­ ing in tho center a cavity or vacant 8i>aco. Then the ribbed diamond with the cavity in the form of a lozenge is almost equally used. Both kinds are troublesome to work and are done by the means of a cardboard charL A piece of perforated cardlx»rd is taken and a series of large holes cut by se\cr■ ing the dividing line between every four small holes. Tho space left between these holos must de­ Send upon the width esired between tho lines of gathering threads; five holes are usually left The chart is placed even­ ly on the material, and dots are made through the holes ot the cardboard with a pencil of contrasting CHILD • MMOCXKD color. The lattice smocking is much used for children's frocks, and has a very pretty effect With these frocks smocked Tam O’Shanters are worn, the fullness drawn to the proper size with a twoinch band of honey-combing, extending in the center to a point Smocked beef­ eater hats are also pretty, the crowns being covered with an indescribable heap of puffings in cashmere, and the material so cut and draped as to allow its edges to be contracted with a oneinch circle of honeycomb, the frilling falling on tbe gathered brim. Let me prophesy that ia less than three months smocked frocks will be the thing here. "Do you know, by the way, that the truly swell young woman no longer , sflBt wears a mantle? Or, I Gentlemen who frequent the theaters to nee the play will doubtless be charmed to know that the milliners are showing this winter tbe tiniest of little head coverings, which they call "The­ ater Bonnets." These bonnets are rot quite as large as the ordinary break­ fast cap, and are made of plush, velvet, tulle, and lace, in all of the new and old evening shades. Although they are without the high and showy plum­ age worn for tbe street, they sre not the inane articles one might suppose, and will attract as much attention and admiration as the most dashing Gaines• borough loaded with plumes. For instance, one mMel of pale-pink plush is bordered with a double frill of crimped tdlle, between which gleam a row of little white bird beads from the luckless bodies of tiny Java sparrows. Tho crown is plaited and caught all oyer with small white quill feathers, gilded at the ends, and looking for all the world like miniature pins. These are from the wings of the little birds. The back is.quilled with tulle and set with the tiny sparrows* tails, and, to add the final touch, the long ribbons of pale pink plush are fastened under the chin by a silver clasp of six little bird-claws on each side. One not ijuite so suggestive of parted members is of white plush, embroidered in silver lilies apd trimmed in front with white tulle-cnd k^enille drop, which frame the face charmingly. These little bonnets are ’destined to l>e popular, for they ye becoming, pretty, easily made at home, out of the same material as tho dress, and will win tbe tq»ccial favor of tho masenliuo mind. Two or three of them have al­ ready ap{wared at the New York thea­ ters. and in a few weeks there is hope of their being generally worn. The Boulanger hat is destined to bo one of the most fashionable shapes this winter. R is named for the famous French General, and is very much the same shape as the French and Ameri­ can military chapeaux; it is also be­ coming to many styles of women, and this-last fact will perhaps have much to do with its popularity. The Boul­ anger is made in felt, and also in plush and velvet. The high side rolls are generally faced in velvet, even though the rest of the hat is felt, and the crown is ornamented by a plume of cock's feathers, which are the most fa­ vored plumage of the reason. Sometimes the stylo is varied by adding a silver or jetted dagger in frent amid the many folds of ribbon, but the plumes are considered the more graceful. Of coarse tbe Boulanger is not to be worn by old ladies, but those who are still young may wear one over the Grecian coil, now the metropolitan coiffure. A handsome imported model in this shape is of the new lizard green felt, faced with velvet of the same shade embroidered in silver bugs. Ribbon in four shades—olive, grass, sea-foam and hunter's green—forms tho bows, and on top is a full nodding plume of shaded green cock’s feathers. The members of tho .Audubon Soci­ ety and their large following wear co.-k’s feathers without the least qualm of conscience because the feathers are pulled out of the live fowl. All the farmers’ daughters in tho State, it is said, are trying to get this fashionable Elumage.

STATIONS., sian Government Count Mitkiewicz came to America in 1864, and after remaining here for a short time returned to Europe, only to repeat hia visit to this country again and again. While on one of these visits he became acquainted with a Miss Caroline Les­ ter (daughter of Ralph Lester, a wellknown Rochester banker), to whom he was married in the year 1872. This union resulted in the creation of a large family- of children, nine in number, when his wife died. His second matrimonial alliance was with an estimable lady (a grand­ daughter of John Marshall, of Vir­ ginia, late Chief Justice of the United States). Taking up his residence in the gay capital of Washington, where he is well known, he launched into various schemes which have been more or less successful. His latest scheme (that of placing telephones in China, with the ass stance of the Chinese Government, and backed by a financially substantial Philadelphia syndicate) is the one so much ventilated and stretched into tbe most absurd colossal dimensions. Ths result of these schemes time aldne can tell, and whether they will be success­ ful or aot will be a riddle of the pre»entto be solved in the dim future. Count Mitkiewicz is oi slender fig­ ure, with a florid complexion and red­ dish side whiskers which are always carefully trimmed to stand at right angles with the sides of his face.

Twenty-two years ago, if you fol­ lowed the pike out of Winchester, Vir­ ginia, going south, you would see on the left-hand side of the road, about sixty rods from tho town, a small twostory frame house, standing hear the pike, in a barren yard. That house was the scene of a military tragedy such as did not often oocur in the armies, and which illustrated in the most striking manner the fidelity of a young recruit to duty, and to tho strict military maxim—"obey .orders!" Let me toll tho story. It will be best to say at the start that the real names of the principal actors an this episode are suppressed. They are fresh in mind, and could easily be used; but when tho account has been read the reasons for withholding thorn Will be perfectly understood. The hero ef the adventure was at the time • lad of less than twenty years, a re­ cruit of the Fifteenth Maine Infantry, and had been bnt six weeks in the serv­ ice. His share in the events of that ■night waa not only honorable but highly praiseworthy; vet os he may now be, if surviving, the father of a family, possibly a man of wealth and prominence at home, I should not wish, without his consent, to attach his true name to tbe sketch. We will therefore call him Private Brigham. As for tbe unhappy victim of the encounter, whose nshnesa, or worse, led him on to his death, charity to his memory and to the feelings of surviving relatives appeals to me to withhold his name. Ha will be styled Lieutenant Y----- . The time was April, 1865; it wm a tew days after tbe news had reached us of the surrender st Appomattox. J wm Judge Advocate of Dwight’s Division, which wm thrown out about two miles in front of Winchester. Early one morning the field Officer of the Day came riding in to headquarters to re­ port. I stood by aud heard what ho said to the Adjutant General “Everything is all right on tho picket lino; but 1 hear of a row that occurred at a house where we have a safeguard, on the pike, back near town. There wm a man killed—some say an officer." 1 wm immediately dispatched to in­ vestigate. As I rode up to tho house I saw a group ot idlers fn front One of them said something about “blood.” Dismounting, I stopped long enough outside to see what they were looking at Sure enough, it was blood; drops at it on the steps and on the ground. I went in. Two or three women were in the ball, pale m ghosts, and almost hysterical. They all began to talk at once, but I stopped them. I told them who I waa, my errand, and that they must tell me the exact truth m to what had happened. I got their story and then went into tho back room. There wm Private Brigham, a slander slip of a fellow, about m pale as the women, but look­ ing just like a soldier m he grouped his good Springfield musket with the bay­ onet fixed. I had learned enough already to sat­ isfy me where tbe truth lay, and I talked kindly snd assuringly to the young soldier while I took notes of his Statement “Give it to me just m it happened,” I said.' “If you have obeyed orders •nd done your duty, no harm shall eons to you." He told me his story, which perfectly matched that of the women, iu a sim­ ple and straightforward way. These accounts, I have never doubted, gave the whole truth of the affair. Before going back to headquarters I went into another room, where some­ thing on the floor wm covered by a white sheet from a bed. One of the women turned it down. A dead man lay there with a bayonet wound clear through his breast There wore no •traps upon tbe shoulders of his blouse, but I recognized the face at once. It was that of Lieutenant Y------ , of the fully realized this; but he knew what hia orders were, and he wm deter­ mined to obey them. They were to admit nd one to the house but an of­ ficer on duty. Some time after dark three horse­ men rode up to the door and dismount­ ed. One of them, Lieutenant Y------ , opened the door, and wm confronted with a bayonet at the end of a mus­ ket, in the hands of the resolute safe­ guard. One of the women held a lamp back in the hall. What happened did not take two minutes. The officer swore st Brig­ ham, and ordered him to stand back. The soldier told him flatly that he cpuld not enter, and that he would bo hurt if he tried it The officer swore again, wm taunted by his companion outside for being kept back by “an in­ fantry toad-stabber,* and he made a rush. The soldier put the bayonet straight through him. He must have died instantly; his heart wm cloven through. He tumbled to the floor, and Private Brigham stood again on guard. There wm more profanity outside, and another man appeared on the steps and attempted to enter. He, too, wm warned, but pressed on, and promptly received the bayonet through his arm. He wait­ ed for no more, but beat a hasty re­ treat, wm helped on his horse by the orderly, and rode away. On the report that I made to Gen­ eral Dwight of this affair, I wm- or­ dered to defend the soldier whenever he should be brought before a courtmartial. I expected to have to do this, and made ready to do it; but the occa­ sion never came. Brigham wm never tried, and honorably finished his serv­ ice. I never know precisely why no greater stir wm mode about the matter, but th&reMons are not hard to con­ jecture. The’cavalry division in and about Winchester wm commanded by General Torbert, the same who lost his life by drowning, a few years since, off the coMt of Florida. I have no doubt that he mode his own investigation, and became satisfied that the safeguard did exactly the correct thing, and that a court-martial would be a useless form when, the facts were so well known. Nothing but reproach to tbe dead man and his companion could have come from the trial of Private Brigham; so the whole business wm wisely dropped. But I doubt if another instance of such promptness and fidelity to orders can be found in a lad not two months in the army. It is such stuff makes heroes! , Excessively Honest. BY OPIE P. BEAD. Very few negro preachers have aban­ doned the pulpit on account of the van­ ities of recent religion or tho dishonor­ able transactions which havo been im­ puted to the cloth. Among tho very— we mar say solitary—few may be reck­ oned old Gus Marcus. Mischief-breed­ ers—and they are to be found in nearly evary congregation—declared that old Gus gave up the calling which he had so long pursued because his people failed to pay him adequately, but those who had most largely partaken of the old man’s rigid casuistry knew that he could no longer associate with to-work­ ers who, while on their way to prayermoeting, marked with calculating eye the height of the chicken-roost, and who heard, with the keen ear of inter­ est, the turkey's sonorous gobble. Gus moved to town, rented a small shanty, and opened a vegetable store.

Schoolmasters, in their daily routine of instruction, receive many* carious answers to the plainest questions. Boys who are5distinguished for a certain amount of originality, m well m those whoso wits are somewhat less acute than the general run, often afford a hearty laugh from a careless blunder or thoughtless reply. And it is sometimes in vain that the teacher strives to keep countenance and look severe at a most atrocious exposure of ignorance. Esspecially in Scripture history do these ludicrous mistakes occur, and any one who Iim read tho answers to examina­ tion papers on this subject will have come across many instances. The correction* of the Scripture pa­ pers of a school to which I had been appointed assistant examiner once fell to my lot One of the questions asked wm; “Who wm John tho Baptist, and what wm iiis mission ?" Among other extraordinary answers, I found this: “He was a stone-breaker, ard had to mend the roods so that they should be good when Jesus went that way.” Another wrote hia reply to the ques­ tion: "Who wm Matthew?” “He wm a man what kept a public house.” For an account of the resurrection, one boy said: “Lazarus was in a cave, and his head wax wrapt up in a napkin, and he tried to climb a high tree, but could not, be­ cause he wm a small statue. And when tho cock crew he went out and wept bitterly. ’’ The idoM of this young gentleman were evidentlr rather confused. Ono day, in a geography lesson, I wm wishing to get at the name St. David's Head, but it wm a little fel­ low, aud ho wanted a lift, so I said, suggestively: "Well, who killed the giant Go­ liath?” For a moment there wm a puzzled look on his face, and then, with a sud­ den inspiration, he exclaimed: “Oh, I know—Tom Thumb!” No doubt his mind wm better stored with fairy lore than holy writ, and he had confused tho story of the Lillipu­ tian Tom Thumb with that of Jack the Giant Killer. During tho some lesson a helping bund wm needed to get at the name St Boe’s Head. I proposed: “What do you call those insects that fly about in summer and make honey ?” “Oh, please, air, gnats, sir," replied the youngster, heeding only the first part of the question. On another occasion, when endeavor­ ing to explain the meaning of the term "transient bliss," I had got so far as to call it “passing happ ness,” when a small boy burst forth with: "Oti, sir, a kiss.” Evidently he knew too well that kisses soon are past, and while they last are sweet, and with the happy ex­ ample at his tongue’s end, could not contain himself, but had to let tho idea have its own way and come out.—Lon­ don Exchange.

Left Alone with the Money. The affairs of Montenegro were con­ ducted in a very peculiar fMhion when Lawrence Oliphant visited it, eome years ago, says Youth's Compan­ ion. On arriving at the little town of Cettinje, tho capital of tho principality, he found that it contained no hotel, but that room wm made for tho rare stranger at a lodging-house containing one or two spare bedrooms. Having been put in one of these chambers, he found it simply furnished, and, as there was no table, his dinner wm spread upon a large chest which it con­ tained. While ho wm enjoying his repMt the door suddenly opened aud a stalwart Montenegrin stalked in. Says the traveler: "He addressed mo with great polite­ ness in hia native tongue; at IcMt I gathered from his manner that he wm polite, for I could not understand a word he said. “I rose and bowed with much cere­ mony, addressing him fluently in the English language, upon which he drew an immense key from his pocket and pointed to the lock of tho chest, thus giving me to understand that ho wished to open it. “In order for him to accomplish this it wm necessary for me to remove my dinner, an operation which wm speed­ ily performed. As ho seemed a frank and engaging sort of person, without any secrets, I looked over his shoulder while ho opened tho chest, to seo what The Education Superstition. It is a fact at this day that tho rut majority of pupils in attendance at our colleges do not know what they want, It is also a fact that the parents who send them do not know what value their children ore to got for the sacri­ fice made. They havo a vague idea that their children ore to bo “educated,” and aro accordingly to take their place among the first of the land. This sim­ ple conception is carefully coddled at commencements, where the public are congratulated on tho fact that they are to be taken under tho protecting wing of tho “educated” (L r., the <-ollegebred i man. Tho common people are elegantly assured that they will bo su­ premely blessed, in some mysterious and unspecified manner, by the pres­ ence of “educated” men among them; while at the same time it appears that the “educated" man will have a very nice and agreeable job in taking care of tho public. And tho amazing super­ stition that a study of books (and those, too, almost irrespective of the wants of either pupil or public) is education persists in defiance of all sense or ex­ perience. The same simple faith appears in the making of charitable bequests. No statistics regarding educational endowmenta are afforded by the census, nor aro any at hand, hence the subject can not be presented in its full Mpect. But we know that endowments aro daily announced in the nowspajiera. Young mon and women are to bo hired to study theology by means of fellow­ ships, to look at tho stars, to study the languages and the sciences, or whatever the whim of tho benefactor happens to be. The climax is reached when, as wm lately announced in tho I ondon Timex, an immense sum is set Mide from tho ordinary course of business to aid young men in becoming civil en­ gineers. That education, if valuable, should be p 'id for like everything else of value: that it should stand on the same footing m all other things, and that ite value is best BO'-ured by its ability to appeal to the spontaneous dosires of the public, and to win its financial support precisely as Booth or Patti Of Theodore Thomas with their support—that is to say, by receiving value for value given—seems to be a conception which, though it has reached many people in a confused way, has not yet penetrated educational circle*. —Charles »w.

Price of Pictures Past and Present. In the days of Sir Joshua Heynolds very fine landscapes by such mreters m Claude, Poussin, cuyp, Huysdael, and Hobbema were to be bought for 200 or 300 guineM, and the highest for a Claude wm £520 for that beautiful picture known as “Tho Enchanted CMtle” in the sale of M. de Calonne's (the French AmbMsador) collection in 1795 in London, and £500 for tho com­ panion picture, described fo tho sale catalogue m "equally beautiful” but which has now not' been identified. The prices, which evince a high estimate of Claude before the days of modern landscape, aro positively insignificant compared to those paid at auction dur­ ing tho lost twenty years for land­ scapes aud sea pieces by Turner, Con­ stable, David Cox, Copley, Fielding, William Collins, W. Muller, > tan field, and Linnell. These go by thousands instead of hundreds of guineas. And Gainsborough comes into this honor­ able account now, though his land­ scapes while he painted them were thought little of, and he died leaving the passage and staircase of his rooms in Schomberg House, Pall Mall, ipenmbered with them.

He touches the whip to thia horse, and tbe carriage whirls over “Cap'n, Fee done tole de trvfe.’ ladies be stowed away at de saim time in do kerrige which is already here? Dey will not be crowded in dat yer seat, I know." "The very thing," answers Hazard, who has already introduced himself to poor Loo, who, homesick and tired, sits curled up in the waiting-room, and whose unspoken ooinion of things is plainly written uron her face. Hazard states the case to her. Just now she is too much crushed in spirit to do anything but acquiesce in silence. Moreover she stands in great awo of the gallant Captain, whoso ex­ ploits have reached ber ears long years ago. Ho she agrees, without ado, to riding in tbe Stubblefield carriage, and she gathers up her little bags and bundles and announces herself in readi­ ness to go. Miss Lafarge, pale aud interesting, with her bandaged arm carried in a silken sling, stares a little as Captain Hazard introduces himself to her notice, amkprefers his request. But she too consents readily enough, and the two ladies take their places in the vehicle. Miss Lafarge has ample time, before tho carriage stops at Bywater Park, to make herself interesting and entertain­ ing to her companion. Obe drive* slowly to enable the Cap­ tain to keep pace with tbe carriage. And Miss Lafarge improve* this oppor­ tunity to the utmost, by relating her late experience in the railway accident Loo. anxious and uneasy, glances into the . fair face of her companion, who bears up under thia gaze with ad­ mirable composure. Tbe Captain too, turns a pair of ad­ miring eyes upeu'Miss Lafarge, as she relate* her story with gracif and spirit, and Loo grows glum and more distrait still as she sees this. She knows with­ out being told that the Csptaiu is com­ paring her sallow skin and dark eyes unfavorably with the exquisite blonde at her side, and a pang shoots through her heart that it should be so. Miss .Lafarge takes the Captain’s glance* and hia compliment* quite as a matter of course. She too perceives the little rankling thorn in Loo’s breast, and the knowledge fin* her heart wifh joy. To her the time passes all too quickly, and the carriage stops at the Park gate* sooner than she thought would be the case when the two ladies set out together. Arrived at tbe Park, the Captain msists Miss Loo to alight. He gathers her bags aad bundles in one band, begs to be allowed the privilege of calling at Stubblefield tbe ensuing day, lift* lift hat, and, with a sweeping bow to Miss Lafarge, watches the carriage as it rolls T^en he tucks Loo’s trembling hand, in a matter-of-fact fashion, under his cred with foam and arm, and marches her up the walk to W* dust, the horse the house. “ dashes up to tbe CHAPTER VIIL platform and stops with a suddenness that nearly unseat* the driver ia the face of the engine iteslf, M the train ADAM DUNDAS rushes into the station.

Loo pauses before her aunt, and stands trembling, forlorn nnd pale on the threshold of the new home that now receives her. Captain Hazard sees her confusion and her air of humiliation. He turns a glanc* full of pity upon her. His look doe* what words would have failed to accomplish. Loo hates to be pitied. Ths blood runs through her veinrlike fire. She lifts ber head erect, the color leaps into ber sallow choeks, her dark eyes shine like stars. Tho Captain’s look of pity changes rapidly from pity to astonishment, and from astonishment to admiration; for Loo, under the influence of strong emo­ tion, is handsome. She has regained her self-possession, and returns Madam DuadM* greeting quietly. “Really, her manners are not so bad after all,” says Madam to herself, as Loo sinks down upon tho seat indi­ cated to her by her grim old relative. The Captain tolls a man servant to drive down to the station for Loo’s lug­ gage, and this necereitetes a rummag­ ing expedition in Loo’s hand-bag for the checks. The brasses found, the Captain goes his way, and leaves the young lady alone with her aunt “I wish tossy to you,” begins Ma­ dam, calmly, “and I may aa well say it now as at some future time, that my object in inviting you to live at Bywater Park is more to please the Captain than from any interest which you may suppose I feel in either your father or yourself. Tho Captain has some ab­ surd ideas sbout what he considers my duty is to you. He feels that the tie* Of blood which bind the daughter of Frederic Bolton to me give you the right to claim something in the way of assistance from me.” Loo’s head lift* itself a trifle higher at this, the color deepens in her cheeks, her eyes sparkle. Madam, who is keen­ ly watching every change in that oxprauive face, gloats secretly at tho sprit which shows itself. “Aunt Dundas—perhaps I should say Madam Dundas—1 came here for the purpose of earning that salary which you were kind enough to offer in return for my services. I care less for the ties of blood which bind us together than you do yourself. I look upon you in the light of on employer; any other claim which I might have upon your time or attention is ignored." Madam taps the polished floor with the toe of her high-heeled slipper. Then she leads the way into the draw­ ing-room, and, pointing to a handsome piano which stands open in a recess, says, not unkindly: “I am passionately fond of music. Do you sing ?” “A little," is the quiet reply. “Tho Captain plays tolerably, but his efforts are al! instrumental—not vocal. I think we will be able to get on very well together. It may be rather lonely for you to live with an old woman like mo; but 1 am euro I shall enjoy the so­ ciety of a young girl like yourself. Wo will drive to the village to-morrow, and you shall select some new gowns. All girls are fond of now gowns. ” Madam, impelled by some impulse, stretches out lipr wrinkled old hand and lays it on the girl's head. The oct breaks down the barriers that havo been rising in Loo’s heart Sho is quick to feel the change in Madam’s manner. The warm tears spring to Loo’s eyes. She seizes Madam's hand, and raising it to her lips cries impulsively: “I don't care for the gowns, aunt; only be kind to me. Nobody in the world was ever kind tome.” Then she chokes-^-and half repenting this show of emotion, drops Madam's hand again. And Madam rings the bell for her maid, who is told to show Miss Bol­ ton to the room assigned to her use, and to be ready for the usual five o'clock tea. * Loo went away, wondering curiously if sho had mortally offended her aunt in the very beginning of their acquaint­ ance. She has hardly time to make a tour of inspection through the apart­ ments to which she is conducted, when her one small trunk arrives. Tho maid announces demurely that Madam has ordered her to take care of the young lady's toilet, and Imo, not quite daring to rebel against her aunt’s dictum, submits in silence. The maid rummages through the small trunk and drags out Lon’s best gown, a pale yel­ low thing with scarlet ribbons, which Loo has in her secret heart thought a masterpiece, to be reserved for ve^y grand occasions only, and insist* upon robing the young lady in it The gown is cheap, but it is certainly becoming, aad Loo is more than pleased with the result as she surveys her reflection in Brentwood. P wljl OMPANIES F and E. number- mon, and about as many more than two hun­ dred men of the Twenty - second ■Wisconsin, w ‘ Brentwood, Ten­ nessee. from March 5 to 25. They had no work, and camped iu an open niece of timber near the pike, between Nashville and Franklin, where tho rail­ road crosses the pike. Days had passed during which rain had fallen heavily, and depression of spirit was general. One day a battery of Napoleons went by on a train to Iranklin. At Nash­ ville tbe hillside* were dotted with the tents of Granger's corps from Ken­ tucky. Daily Confederates, in guise of farmers, appeared in camp and disap­ peared. and yet no steps were taken to withdraw tbe force or make it effective. The consequences weje very much as a writer in The Chicago L^pGkb nar­ rates, with one of two strong exceptions. Early March 25th, detachment* of Forrest’s cavalry were seen by the Federal pickets, engaged in cutting the wires and tearing up track between Brentwood and both Nashville and Franklin. The long roll sounded and the com­ mand waa speedily in line. A party waa sent to the stockaded fort at the bridge to assist a small gaxison com­ posed of a remnant of the Nineteenth Michigan, but a heavy force barred the way and compelled their return. The meager command of Colonel E. Bloodgood was drawn up facing vari­ ous approaching bodies of dismounted men wiio dodged forward from tree to tree firing at long range upon our mon in line in tho open. A summons to surrender and a threat of tho use of artillery was disregarded, and the men, in excellent spirit, sent a bullet wherever a Confederate showed, firing.” The Adjutant rode up the pike hold­ ing aloft a fluttering handkerchief in token of surrender; the Confederate* immediately advanced from south aud north in long lines, and coming down to the Fodarals saw the boy* standing firm and menacing in look. “Throw down your arms. Why in h— don’t you throw down your arms?” said the Confederates, and reluctantly the order wa* obeyed. Not one, but many, of their rifles were broken against trees by enraged men, and right hero comes the account that arrested my attention in tho War Annals of tbo Waterloo Frees. “A fat, jolly-looking Dutchman swore ho ‘vould not goof mine goon to no tam robbil.'put I preaks him on dish dree.’ Suiting the action to tho words, he ap{troached a largo tree and struck vioently, tho hammer of his gun striking the hard wood, whence the gun was fired, and tho poor follow fell by his own hand.” Only one man shot himself by break­ ing his rifle, and that was Sergeant Jonn Morgan, of Company “F,” a tent­ mate of mine, and the idea of calling Morgan a “fat, jolly-looking Dutch­ man,” and putting “vould not geef mine goon" into his mouth, is su­ premely ridiculous. In build Morgan wm lithe and mus­ cular, handsomo aud scholarly in ap­ pearance, and of superior education; and it is an insult to bis memory to put “gibberish" as his words. Morgan, attempting to break his rifle, discharged it, and received the bullet in tbe thigh, aad he wm carried to our camp hospital. He asked for me, and a Johnny wm kind enough to call my name and tell me of IL His limb, wa* amputated, and the task was performed with gross careless­ ness. The result was his death. And tho news in the other home, away on Lake Michigan, nearly killed his be­ trothed. Tell war annals, Johnniee, all you wish, but don’t libel our comrades who fell, and don’t make scholarly lin­ guists, like John Morgan, talk of “dish dree." Wm. H.

T was truly a start­ ling experience, this that I am about to relate, and 1 try to forget it But Dr. Kane han requested me to write a de­ tailed account, so 1 shall let tho world share it with him. My name in those days was Esther jSgSfT * Dane, my homo in ' Charleston, and I worked in a printing office. My father was well off, but I had u passionate love for my work, type­ setting, and worked in tho office of a popular daily, much against his will. The summer 1 was eighteen ! became afflicted with a singular disease ’ I was very fair, with gray eves and goldenbrown hair. Those who cared for me were kind enough to call mo fair to look upon, and I loved my own face because it gained love from others. One day I discovered a small black apot upon my right ear. I wondered over it very much, and when 1 saw it grow from day to day, spreading over my entire ear in a few weeks, it made me feel terribly. I arranged my hair in a way to hide it, but when it spread upon tho side of my face I gave up my place and went home. Father was frightened nearly to death over my strange appearance, and eould scarcely believe it afforded me no pain or inconvenience. He would have me see a physician, •o at my entreaty ho took me to' a great doctor in New York. We carefully concealed our identity, for I was very sensitive over the matter then. The case puzzled the learned man, and in fact we journeyed from city to dty, puzzling every one we visited in turn. *. Some talked learnedly, using a string of unintelligible medical phrases. But none prescribed a remedy. All the time it grew and spread, until half my free was covered. Our constant travel, and seeing so many strange doctors, and bearing tho matter so fully discussed, had cured me of my foolish sensitiveness. Of course I would not go out with­ out a veil, but I ceased to worry and cry over it, and could even make merry •bout it I remember telling a Chica­ go doctor, when my face was about equally divided into two colors, that I Has a big dose of “ 'art and ’arf." My chin became wholly black, and over half of my forehead, but my nose and the rest remained white. There it •topped, and begat. spreading down­ ward over my body. man, but already had gained aome reputatiou. : He bad become couvina-d that ho , had much yet to learn, so had thrown j up a lucrative practice, to walk the ■ • •hospitals - •< » a year, - - or - - -iierhaps v----- ‘two. w-A I Paris My strange case at once interested him. He asked questions until he knew as much about the matter as I did. He examined the black growth closely, and eventually owned himself puzzled, as had man v fhmoua men before him. I liked him immensely, and, in my merry unconcern, turned much of his questioning into ridicule. Boon after our arrival in Paris s great medical convention took place, and one day Dr. Kane came for me. . Only a few of the celebrities had ever heard of anything similar, and were unanimous in the opinion that there waa no cure. I must go piebald all my life. We - returned home, and father sold his possessions in Charleston. We hid ourselves in a pretty New York sub­ urb. Dr. Kane returned a year later, and our curious friendship was renewed. He was very kind to me, wss often at our house, rode, drove, and walked with me, spending as much time aa he could spare from professional and other duties. He was always studying over my case, and tried many experiments, all to no purpose. I took a good deal of quiet comfort that summer. I waa not happy. God help me, I never could be happy again, for I loved Harry Kane. Sometimes I thought he cared for me, but that was when we were riding or driving, and I was closely veiled— when he could not see my very hideous face. Along in the fall he was called away, and would bo absent some months. Soon after his departure I first became cons -ious, by physical sensations, that the blackness was a disease A stinging, burning sensation began wherever there was a spot of color. I suffered tortures. .• Every cooling, soothing lotion imag­ inable waa resorted to, advice was pro­ cured, but naught availed to allay my suffering. It lasted months. For many nights I never slept, and at length brain and nerve gave way, and I died. Strange assertion to make, you aay. Yes, I died, or the people thought I did. But every sense remained acutely alert—save feeling and breathing. I know my body grew rigid, and cold as ice. I know when I was arrayed for the grave and placed in my casket I knew the peril I was in; that of being buried alive; but the rest from tfiat agonized suffering was so exquisite that all else soamod of little moment I heard, as ono hears from afar, the voice of a man of God speaking words of oomfort to my sorrowing frio 'da. I heard the solemn “dust to dust” rattle upon my coffixi, then sank to a total unconsciousness, as one sinks to a sweet sleep. Mv next sensation was cold, awful, deathly cold, and a feeling of numb­ ness. I could not stir, or open my eyes, but feeling had returned to my whole body. Every part of it tingled and ached, and my hands and feet felt like blocks of ice. Presently I felt hands grasp me and extend me on what seemed a board. Loud exclamations in different voices reached my dulled cars; then a dead silence followed. It was broken by a voice that—ah, God!—had power to call me from the dead. “What is the matter, gentlemen?" it asked, and footsteps Approached me -and paused beside me. “Good God! Estner!" Ob, how I struglcd to break the in­ visible bonds that held me. “Esther, Esther! Oh, my God! Dead, dead!" the dear voice moaned, and he passed a caressing h^nd over my poor mottled face. As it lingered against my lips I kissed it lightly, involuntarily. A great cry escaped him, and ho bent closely over me. I felt bis breath upon my face. His lips touched mine. Then 1 lived. Had it been really death, instead of trance, I must have come to life then. He loved me! 1 opened my eyes, gave o io quick glance alioat, then cried out in terror. Around stood many strange men, a'l watch ng and listening iutent'y. The "Either! O, my God! Dead! Dead!" room seemed large and long, and waa lit by many lamps. Grizzly skeletons hung here and there, and seemed to grin in ghastly mockery at me. “Dr. Kane!" I cried, finding mv voice, “I am afraid! Take me away 1" Ho was white as death, and trembled so he could scarcely speak. "Gentlemen, this is a strange way to find a dear friend, and a queer ending to our lecture, but I thank God for it" I was shaking like a leaf, my teeth chattering. I seamed dying of cold, and no wonder. I lay upon the dis­ secting-table, with ro covering but my shroud, and had lain for hours in a fire- From being natural the black skin be­ came velvety to the touch, like it some­ times fa on a large mole or birth mark.

Don't Hear Ever; thing. The art of not hearing should be learned by all. It is fully as important to domestic happiness as a cultivated car, for which so much time and money are expended. Ibero are so many thing which it is painful to hear, matfy which we ought not to hear, very many which, if beard, will disturb the tem­ per, corrupt simplicity and modesty, detract from contentment and happi­ ness, that every one should be edu­ cated to take in or- shut out sounds, according to his pleasure. If a man falls into a violent passion, and calls us all manner of names, at the first word we should shut our ears, and hear no more. If, in our quiet voyage of life, we find ourselves caught in one of tboee domestic whirlwinds of scolding, we should shut our ears os a sailor would furl his sa la, and,' mak­ ing all tight, scud before the gale. If a hot and restless man begins to in­ flame our feelings, we should consider what mischief these fiery sparks may do in our magazine below, where our tem]>cr'is kept, and instantly close the door. • If, as has been remarked, all the petty things Mtid of one by hcodleea or ill-natured idlers were to be brought home to him, ho would bocomo a mere walking pin-cushion stuck full of sharp remarks. If we would be happy, when among good men, we should open our ears; when among bad men, shut them. It is not worth while to hear what onr neighbors say about our children, what onr rivals say about our business, our dress, or our affairs. The art of not hearing, though un­ taught in our schools, is by no means unpracticed in society.

Many persons not only drift into these hurried ways but pride them­ selves upon them. They boost of their speed, and contrast it with the slower measures ot their more deliberate neighbors. They flatter themselves U|>on their dispatch, and hold them­ selves of more value on that account. Slowness in work, lingering or loiter­ ing over what is to be done, is not to be recommended. On tho contrary, energy and vigor will prompt the healthy and industrious man to labor steadily and rapidly, while neglecting nothing that is needed to perfect his work. But this is very different from tho agitated and excited hurry which has been mentioned, and which is to be deprecated.—Philadelphia Ledger. Death at Chicago of Hou. Elihu S.

He afterward studied law, was ad­ mitted to the bar, went We«t and located at Galenn, Ill., in 1810. Being a Whig he did good electioneering work for his party during the Harrison campaign and was a delegate to the Wl ig national convention which nominated Henry Clay in 1844. Mr. Washburn was a member of tbe Na­ tional Whig Convention which nominated General Scott in 1852, and the tune year wns elected to Congress through the sup­ port of tho Frec-soilers. He was re-elected 111 18-54 by a majority of 5,000. Ho continned to represent tbo district term after term, his majority in I860 rising to 13,511. Mr. Washburns noted as t'h iirman of the Committee on Commerce in the Congress of 1862. and later became Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations. He occu­ pied a conspicuous position in the councils of the nation during tb<* troublous years of tbe rebellion.

Being Congressman of Grant's district, he used bis influence nt every step of Grant's career to secure the latter's promotion. It wm chiefly through his efforts that Grant was made a Lieuu-nant-Genend end after­ ward General of the armies of the United States. Mr. Waahburne was an opponent of the practice of making grants of the Sblic lands to railroad companies, and ■quently voted against extravagant ap­ propriations for public buildings. He was chairman of tbo committee of the whole which discussed the impeachment of An­ drew Johnson, and brought in the ;first postal-telegraph bill. The establishment of national cemeteries was also largely due to hia efforts. Mr. Waahburne was appointed Secretary of State by President Grant in 1869, and resigned his seat in Congrou, which be bad held for twenty consecutive years. After a brief tenure of office his health compelled him to resign. President Grant offered him the French mission, which he accept­ ed. The Franco-Prussian war shortly af­ terward broke out, and the delicate questious of diplomacy and international law that arose taxed hie abilities to tho utmost. He succeeded in securing from tbe Foreign Department of France protection and safe conduct out of that empire for all German* who felt it dangerous to remain. When the Commune raised its banner in Paris, Mr. Waahburne was tho only foreign Minister who stuck to his post, and ths foreigners of every nation looked to him alone lor protection. He re­ mained in Paris during all tbe carnage that followed in the wake of the Commune, and made a strong but ineffectual effort to save the life of Aretibisbop Darboy.

Shortly after the war the order of the Red Eagle was conferred on him by tbe Emperor of Germany, who also pre­ sented him with his portrait in oil and a letter expressing the warmeet uffiction and After President Hayes' election Mr. Wuhburne expressed a desire to resign, and soon returned to hfa native country, making his home in Chicago.

And she is at once interested when tho genieman inquires, in a voice which betrays emotion, carefully modulated though it is: “Is this tho place where Judith Donithorn died?" The “motherly woman" nods in the affirmative. “Yes. In this house, and in this room,” throwing open tho door. “Wil! you walk in and sit down?" The visitor enters and glances about him. He is unprepossessing in his per­ sonal appearance, and his face is sinis­ ter. His figure is short and heavily built, wiih shoulders so very broad as to suggest suspicion of padding. A thick black board straggles down either side of his fu’i, red foce, and sweeps upon his breast His eyes are keen aud twinkling, shrewd in expreas.on, and of a red color. His clothing is bluck and evidently much too tight for his body. Upon his bead is a silk hat, and he carries a cane. His walk is a stride, and he glances around the room with an air of scorn. “You say she died in this room?” The "motherly woman" spin nods in the nflirmative. "In this room, near tbo spot where you now stand." “ A ho wm with her when she died?" he asks, biting his lip. “Only the doctors." “Wm she < onscious?" “No. Directly after the train wm wrecked, a number of tho wounded were brought here. Among them was the lady yon have asked about She was terr.blr burned, and in an uncon­ scious condition when she arrived. She lived but a few hours, and diod without realizing her extremity." "And she wm alone?'* “Yes. But stop! There wm a lady “A lady!" he ejaculates incredu­ lously—“a lady?" “A lady!” affirms tho “motherly woman." “And the lady said she was a friend of tho girl that died, and I Gess she was. 1 know she sat by tho iy, and she paid tbe undertaker, and she lollowod tho corpse to the burial ground. Then she went away. She said the poor dead girl had no friends of any consequence.” The visitor bit his lip again. “Have you anything in' your posses­ sion now that belonged to tho lady that died?" The “motherly woman" nods swift­ ly. She disappears presently, only to return again with a traveling-bag in her band. "Thia is all," she says. “All I” He grasps the beg, opens it There is the usual paraphernalia: combs, brushes, j>owder-box, pencil, and lastly—a diary.

Then he puts the card carefully in liis pocket .. “With your permission, I will keep this,” he says, speaking in a more civil tone. “I would like toc-dl upon tho lady and thank bur in person for her kind­ ness to my dead relotive." • “Shall you take the bag?” lie shook his head in tbe negative. “You may have it, and the contents too.

Loo, however, is quite unconscious of this action on his part. She slips into her scat and sings the simple old songs Madam calls for, then when this is done she slips sway m quietly m she had come. Tho little cuckoo clock over tho mantel sings out the hour nine as she rises now from the piano. “Good-night, Madam," she says. “Good-night, my dear," answers Ma­ dam, and the girl flits away. , “I’ve been thinking lately,” says Madam Dundas, beckoning to the Cap­ tain, who leaves his shaded nook and dow approaches his friend. “I've been thinking lately that you should marry." Hazard laughs lightly. “I once thought so too," ho replies. “But you know I never could quite make up my mind to offer myself a sacrifice on the altar matrimonial, after alL” “Selflsh creature." Madam smiles, tl^en grows serious. “1 have thought lately--since Miss Latarge came to Stubblefield—that at last you had "met your fate." “Deuced fine girl, that Lafarge," says the Captain. “Not to be compared with Loo." “Loo is a little, flinty-hearted, cold­ blooded iceberg.” “Sheis very discreet. I never believed Frederic Bolton's daughter was what she has proven to be. I uave thought lately, Captain, that perhaps you wero right after sll, and that it is my duty to provide for her future." “I was sure von would come round at lust," cries the Captain, enthusiMtic-/ ally. “Aunt Dundas, you ore incom­ parable after all. Provide for Loo by all means.” “Though, by so doing, your own share of my fortune will be lessened that much?'' “Certainlv.” Madam closes her eyes and sits silent for some time. Th§n she says slowly, and with evident hesitation, “I made a change in my will yesterday. In fact, mode a new will entirely. Captain, 1 wish it might be so, that the money would remain undivided in your hands after my decease. If yon could forget Miss Lafarge, and transfer your atten­ tions to a lady a little nearer home, we might arrive at a solution of a difficulty that troubles me now." Tbe Captain colors. Ho understands what her meaning is. fCw (TO SB COXTINUXD.] The luckiest man is often the most unfortunate. In fact, to emphasize the paradox, there are men whose wonder­ ful goqd luck has proved their utter ruin. On tho other hand, some of the grandest characters among men, and somo of the greatest of life’s successes, have grown out of or been founded upon misfortune and failure. John L.

The civilian might wonder what oould be written about it But to the veteran those words mean a great deal; to him they stand for the light and the shady side of tho sol­ dier’s life. There is very much to bo said on the subject—so much that I can only glance at it in this column. There were, first and iMt, in tbe vol­ unteer army of the United States dur­ ing tho war no leu than a million and a half of soldiers. There wero bo many of them that it is calculated that one out of every eight of tbe loyal male population wm a soldier. In order that tbeee immense hosts should be able to march and fight they had to be fed, and systematically fed.. Ab to how this stupendous job was continu­ ally accomplished, wo are still wonder­ ing; and the soldiers, who know better than anybody else the size of the job, wonder the most. What tho soldiers do know about it ought to be put into print The subject naturally falls under two heads—tho regular and the irregular feeding of the soldier. Anybody who imagines from this enumeration that it is the beginning of a sermon on army subsistence is recommended to read ht on, and he will be soon undeved. Soldiers were accustomed to speak of a situation where there wm little duty and plenty to oat m a "soft thing. ” The expression particularly referred to tho troops who garrisoned the forts or were barracked in the large cities m a permanent guard. These comrades, most of them, only wanted the occasion to show that there wm fight in them; indeed the worst slaughter at Cold Harbor wm among the heavy artillery regiments, fresh from the forts at Bal­ timore; but the duty first named wm, after all, much like playing soldier. A comfortable bunk to sleep in, under a tight roof; full rations every day, so largo in quantity that there was an ex­ cess to soil or swan, whereby delicacies ware prodxred; all this, with the easy duty and no marching, wm emphatic­ ally “a soft thing,** but, in the eye of ths soldier of two or three hot cam­ paigns, it wm not soldiering. Often in passing somo immense depot of commisHary supply in the city or to the field,. I paused to look at tbe vast j structures of boxes of hard bread, the of ra coffee to sacks, the pyramids ' pilss ol 3* Of some tall angel* And, where tho Milk And the hord-tack. For the benefit of ignorant citizens and the now generation it may bo ex­ plained that ‘his great staff of the sol­ dier wm issued habitually in exactly tho shape of a soda cracker. Tho parallel ceases with uhape. They were liard; emphatically hard. A box of them wm once noticed with the brand, “B. C.—6d3.” The meaning wm not evident, but the soldiers were not at a loss for an iaterpretation. “It is the date of making," said one, “063 years before Christ I" The recruits, and all green soldicra, were shy of them at first; but they soon came to it Tho hard-tack would Htand any climate. They were never fresh, never stale. They wero insect­ proof. The bugs got into the holes, and could make no impression. They had to give it up. Experience mode the soldier wise, and taught him that a haversack full of hard-tack wm a bless­ ing. Ho ate them with his bacon; he fried them; he stewed them; he even made puddings of them. No veteran will ever go back on hard-tack. Soon after the close of the war one “Hard Tack, wm published anony­ mously.

Upon marching into the town he announced that he wm going to sleep -for two hours, and every per­ son knew how much he disliked being aroused. When he finally awoke from his siesta the town wm in flames, st which he expressed official surprise. For this he was put under arrest and court-martialed by General Buell, who wm. perhaps, the most earnest executant of tho hen-coop and onion-bed policy that we then had in tho fiejd. The Colonel wm dismiss­ ed from his regiment by the sentence of the court-martial, but found a com­ mission m Brigadier General awaiting him when he returned home to Chicago, nnd was received there with a great ovation. He assumed command of his brigade in the Fourteenth Corps, and I with it did splendid service in the Tul­ lahoma, Chickamauga, aud subsequent campaigns. Ho now makes his home at Radom, III., where he hits settled a colony of Poles that he brought over from Europe, and, though sixty-two years old, is very vigorous and hearty, and one of the most interesting talkers that one can sit down with. Closing the War. The man who claims' to have ordered the last shot fired on the Confederate aide during the late unpleMsntneM is Mr. A. B. Faircloth, of CamiBa, Ga., a gentleman an modest m he is brave. The in cident was told us by Captain D, H. Sanders, an old comrade, in arms of Mr. Faircloth, and forms a unique feature in tbe unwritten history of ths great struggle. Mr. Faircloth be­ longed to Company C, 2d Georgia. cavalry. This regiment wm for some time associated with Terry’s famous Toxm Rangers, whose exploits are among the most highly prized tradi­ tions of the war. The intimacy that grew up between these two regiments was very close and tender, iind re­ mained unbroken to the end. A ranger would succor a 2d Georgia cavalryman in distress m quickly as be would his own brother. .They fought together, bivouacked together, and together they went on many al wild, adventurous raid. Lee had surrendered. Johnston hod surrendered. .Old Kirby Smith re­ mained at tho head of armed resistance. The Confederacy was in its death throes. Wheeler determined not to surrender h;s men. but to force his woy across the country to join Smith west of the Mississippi. To this end bo procured the removal of his co.nmand from Johnston’s army, and- started upon one of the most hazardous rotreata in tbe annals of war. Whileeverywhere Confederate* troops weregrounding their arms, taking the oath of allegiance to the United States Gov­ ernment, and returning to their homes, this little band under their gallant leader refused to lower the stars and Wheelar's bold movement was kept a profound secret, known only to his own men and General Johnston. All thought that the war was over. Tho Federal* camo freely into tho linos of their late foes, and there wm a general intermingling of tho "blue and gray.* It fell to the lot of Company C to guard Wheeler's rear. A barrel of brandy wm discovered just inside tho reserve picket line, and these old vet­ erans, with true soldierly instinct* soon tapped it and wore fMt get­ ting into a hilarious condition. Tho Lieutenant in command of the picket guards wm in a short time unable to distinguish a Confederate from a “Yank," and wm relieved by Mr. 1air­ cloth, the Orderly Sergeant. Tho aroma of that brandy wm watted to tho olfactories of the Union soldiers, and soon a troop of cavalry was seen coming at a headlong charge upon that barrel. Sergeant Faircloth obeyed tbo orders of his chief, and the dash­ ing squadron was received with a vol­ ley from a picket lin*. They wero dumfounded, and without returning the fire showed a white flag. Tho SerEoant advanced to parley with tho eorer of the flag of truce. V“What the deuce did you fire for? Don’t you know the war is over?” This was jerked out by the spokesman on the other side. “I obeyed orders," calmly replied tbo Sergeant “No troops can pass my line." "But, man, Johnston has surren­ dered, and the war is over. Come, lek us pass, we want to taste that brandy over there. “I must carry out my orders," stoutly maintained Sergt. Faircloth, “and if your men advance they will be firod upon. But,” he added. "I am expect­ ing orders calling in my mou every minute, aud if you will wait perhaps you may get a drop of the byarrdy.” Strange to say the troop^waited, aud the order came.

They are again seen this fall, and, besides being com­ fortable costumes, they are the hardi­ est things possible when one is em­ broidering, as the long, hanging, square sleeves are practicable pockets. Mrs. Langtry never looks better than in a Japanese robe. Sho has one of alate gray silk, embroidered in gold sprays. Bhe wears a soft handkerchief folded across her neck aud bosom. Then the robe laps across, just showing a few inches of tho white beneath. Bho sticks a pearl-tippod dagger pin m the breast of tho dross, twists her hair into a loose knot on top of her hoad, aud impales it on a golden shaft tippod like the pin in her bosom. This head­ Sear harmonizes with tho costume, and i becoming to tbe Lily. But many ladies affect tho Japanese robe com­ bined frith such modern accompani­ ments, as standing linen collars and oven bustles. Portia tolls us that, “The quality of mercy is not strained,’ but it would be were it made into a Japanese gown and worn over a bustle. A pretty invalid ou whom the writer called wore a loose-fitting, princess­ shaped dress, made of tbe snowy white eider-down cloth. Into a big darning­ needle very narrow feather-edged rib­ bon had .been threaded, and with this ribbon rows of feather-stitch had been embroidered all about tho hems, pocketa, cuffs, and collar. Tho ribbon stitches were ubout an inch long, and the loosely pulled loops laid up pret­ tily on the woolly snrfsc'o. Tho lato autumn, with its days of fair, bright weather, brings garden games into now favor, and October ex­ ercise is frequently taken in gowns which by no moans disfigure the sport, and if a girl cannot be picturesque at lawn tennis there is no hope for her in tho parlor or on the street Tpe reader has heard of the girl who opened the oysters, threw away tho meats,' washed and boiled the shells, and served them piping hot to an as­ tonished family. Mrs. Smith’s maid did something wdrse. When Mrs. Smith was in Paris she paid a fabu­ lous sum for a sort of bonrette cloth that hod at intervals something like caterpillar* woven into the loose mesh of tne wool. Tbe weather is cool enough to woar that odd but fine attire, and sho longed to exhibit her unique toilette. She laid the drees out and bode her new drossing-maid remove the bastings that had held some plaitings in place during its travels. She left her luncheon table at 2 and found her smart maid with a sharp pair of scis­ sors picking out tho chinks of colored floss silk that hod made so gorgeous u material of a plain bonrette. “They looked for all the world like caterpillars, ma'm," said tho girl, “but I’ve got tho most of ’em off." , Mrs^Smith sat dow;. and wept, but tho unfeeling Smith husband laughed, and declared ho hadn’t boon so tickled since ho toadied a woman in a theater and said, “You have a spider on your shoulder, ma'm," and tho woman jumped to her feet, and screamed, “Take it off!

Fancy finds full vent in the dress of fashionable women's children. An in­ novation of last winter was sleeveless frocks for little girls at parties, and now a move further is made by cut­ ting them somewhat low at the neck, as shown in the illustration of the two childish belles. The dresses are new models, and so are those in the second picture of juvenile toilets. Hence the smallest child’s frock had scarlet serge for the plain skirt, while the blouse was made of one piece gathered above and below, and tho puffed sleeves were of red and blue striped jersey.

Ab a rule, when bows of ribbon are used ns a garniture for hats aud bon­ nets, they are arranged very high and directly in front Birds and feathers, however, are oftener arranged at the aide.

Duane Urges the Immediate Con­ struction and Repair of Talk 'with Captain Amon—Gast ip of Batteries, Etc. * Clubs and Players from Different Citiie. ’ The annual report of Gen. Duane, Chief (Chicago COHJIEHFOXDKXCE.) of Engineers, says a Washington dispatch, is largely devoted to tho 'condition or the ■en-cooint and lake-front dewnses. Gen. Duane says that many of the works are dilapidated, and economy requires that they should be kept from decay. The estimates submitted aggregate $6,234,000, including $2,610,000 for tho construction of gun and mortar batteries and $1,800,000 for sub­ marine mines and appliances for closing channels. A report upon tbo subject of fortifications, mails by the Board of Engi­ neers, which is included in Gen*. Duane's report, says: “It must be evident that immediate ac­ tion is demanded to place ouraoa-coast de­ fenses in proper condition to resist tho at­ tack* of an enemy. From tho difference of opinions which exist among certain non­ military experts as to the character of tbo armor to be used in land defenses the im­ pression has bden created that this matter is in an unsettled and tentative condition, and that the policy of inaction now exist­ ing -should still continue. But the facts will not warrant this conclusion, as more than nine-tenths of the armaments recom­ mended for our sea coasts is not to be mounted behind iron 'protections, but in the rear of earthen covers surmounting snd shielding the masonry, magazines, bomb-proofs, and store-rooms. Particu­ larly is this tiue of the rifled mortars, which must hereafter play an important part in the defense of our channels and fair ways, and there is no reason why the erection of the batteries rettuired for them should be delayed a single month.” In accordance with tho instructions of the Secretary of War the board has also submitted preliminary plans for the dofense of tho more important seaboard harbon. Two typical designs prepared by the .board, which are said to meet all modern xpqnirnmentN, are for fortifications con­ structed of Hand, covering tho masonry and bomb-prtxifs. The report says that no armor is now or ever will bo required for such defenses. It is believed that disap­ pearing carriages can be constructed which will carry 12-inch 5<»-ton rifled giins, and nu appropriation is suggest id sufficient to place a f«-w of these guns and carriages at each of the principal ports. The plan of defense by mortar and gun batteries recommended by the board involves an expenditure during tho next fiscal year of $2,640,WO, which it is proposed to divide among the ports as follows: Now York, $GW,Wii; San Francisco, $1CO,000; Boston, $280,000; Hampton Boads, J25O.OW; New Orleans, $210,000; Philsdelphin, $210,000; Washington, $80,000; Baltimore, $30,000; Portland, $290,000; Narmgansett Bay. $200,000.

J., ou Tueadav evening, Archibald McFaddun crawled into a water tank which formed a part of the tender of a new locomotive, to remedy a slight defect. He entered through the hole on top, through which the tank is filled with water, taking with him, besides hia tools, au oil lamp and a piece of carpet to put under his kOues. The interior of tbe tank is braced with rods running in all directions, and it is like making ones way through the meahea of a senes of nets to craw] through it. A few moments after McFadden en­ ter* d the other men beard smothered cries and groans issuing from the hole, and a little later a cloud of smoke came out. The man had upset hia lamp, set fire to his clothing and the piece of carpet, and was unahle to make his way out. One after another other men en­ tered the hole, but each earns out again choking and half smothered with the smoke and gases given off. by the oily itame* inside. The shriek* of McFad­ den for help made them Yedotible their cfioits, but in vain. A stream of water waa turned in to put out the fire, but was atopj>ed for fear of drowning the imprisoned workman. Then air was |>u«uped iu to keep him from suQoeat- seconds the stout boiler iron was torn away enough to allow the unfortunate man to be rescued. He was nearly dead wh-n lie wa* taken oat. fur he had been in the tank nearly an hour. He was frightfully btirnwl about the leg* and lower part of the body, and it is feared that he can not recover.

The voyage thus far had proved a singular one, and though tha Luzon wm a fast sailing ship, her passage had been long. First, before striking the northeast trade wind in the Atlantic, wo had en­ countered a succession of southerly e^es, and at tho end of those a tedious calm of twenty-two days. Next, off the Cape de Verd Islands, we had lost our fore yard in a squall. The weather was threatening, and ve were under double-reefed topsails and foreaail, when this squall, a sort of .whirlwind, caught ns aback, snapping the yard short off in the slings. Then off tho Cape of Good Hope, nearly every man on deck was struck down by a bolt of lightning which en­ veloped tho ship in a blinding glare, and was accompanied with a crash of thunder that no language can describe. Luckily, however, the man at the wheel was less stunned than most of tho othori, or we would certainly have gone to destruction. Finally, off tho Isle of France, wo had met with a hurricane which carried away our mizzenmast, foro and main topmasts, main yard and jibboom, be­ sides making a clean sweep of our bul­ warks, staving our two boats, and tak­ ing the galley overboard. We had rigged a jury mizzenmast, got up a new main yard and a couple of spare topmasts, and so kept on our The cook’s stove had gone over with his galley, but among the hardware of cur freight wo had an invoice of a dozen stoves, aud hence we were able to replace the lost one. As to va galley, we improvised that the best way we could. In the Strait of Sunda we fell in with the ship Cashmere, from Canton to Now York, which reported having fallen in, off the Island of Borneo, -vith an American or European vessel that had just been captured by Malay pi­ rates. i- The Malays had set the ship on fire, and upon discovering the Cohmere they gave chase to her. The weather, however, getting very rough, their proas could not carry sail, and hence she wm able to escape. “I thought so!" exclaimed Bill Dean, one of our fellows, as soon as the Caxhinere had passed us; “we have had all other sorts of bad luck, and now wo are to be cut into mince meat by a parcel of Malay pirates! This will be in keep­ ing with our kind of good fortune, so I suppose it must bo all right:’ . Bill was never disposed to look upon tho bright side of things. He believed in lucky and unlucky ships, days, and He had already, as he supposed, had ample proof that the Luzon did not como under the lucky head, and, in­ deed, the fact” in the case seemed to sustain him in his position. to the one hundred aud seventy-..rat day of our voyage; snd now bore we were, in a dead calm, in tho China Sea —the Luzon lying •Aa idle aa a painted ship.

"I guess there must be a white stone among the ballMt!” remarked Jack Lee. “I don’t know about that,’ replied Tom Welch, “but I know there are black beans in the soup!” They spoke jestingly, for at this day even sailors have come to make light of some of the more absurd superstitions of former times, when a white stone in tbe ballast, or a black bean in the soup foretold some dreadful misfortune. “Well, there’s just thia about it," •aid Jack Lee; “we shan't be troubled by pirates m long m this weather usia.” “That’s true enough,’ replied Dick Mayhew; "but who wants to be tied up here to broil to death in the sun, pirates or no pirates 7” “I don’t know about it’s being true enough, either," said Bill Dean. ^What 4o they care for a breeze?

Speaking of the recent landslips at Spennger, tbo London Standard says: Many of the Swiss villages exist almost on sufferance; the avalanche of snow, or the avalanche of earth, may st any time sweep them owav, or, what is equally as ruinous, overwhelm them with the debris of tbe mountain at the foot of or ou which they are built. In not a few instances, the landslip is so slow in ita progress, that it is only a ques­ tion of time when the final catiuitropho will be precipitated. At Bee Kouge, in the Turcntiiise, for example, the side of tho monutuin is gradually overwhelming tbe village of hiiroir. In most cases, however, tho calamity is sadden and unexpected. Such an instance is sup­ plied in the fall of Hossberg. a wellknown mountain 5,000 feet high, aituuted behind the better known and loftier Bigi. In 1806, after a very rainy season, a largo portion of the mountains, consisting of beds of hard sandstone ami padding stone, resting on soft nandy layers, suddenly swept across tbo valley of Goidau, burying four villages, comprising o.er 300 houses, nearly 500 inhabitants and more than eighty square miles of fer­ tile land. In 11-.55 a mass of debris slid into tbo valley of the Tiber, which, dammed back by tbe obstruction, over­ flowed tho city of St. Stefano to the depth of fifty feet, uutil the drowning village was relieved by means of a hastily constructed canal. Another example of a diaastrons landslip is that in which, by the sliding of a portion of Monte Como, the entire village of Plan, with 2,430 inhabitants, was, in 1618, overwhelmed. For several days l>efore the catastrophe masses of rock hud become detached from tbo mountain, and numerous fissures were observed to form or widen on its sides. But the villagers disregarded the warn­ ings, ami were in a few minutes buried with their possessions beneath,sixty feet of rock and earth. AU attempt* to penetrate the mass proved fruitless, and no trace of the town has since been seen. The earth whitfli entombed it ia now covered with a luxuriant forest of chestnuts, but tho original name sur­ vives in tha village of Plurs, or Pluro.

Indeed, the country was on a slope which appeared to terminate at a mass of snow tippad mountain*, for wbi'-h »>■ were steering, and where we learned the eeoxid lake, of which the wanderer had spoken ra the lake without a bottom, was situated.. At length we arrived there, and having aacer tained that there was n large lake on tbe top of the mountains, ascended 3,000 feet more till we came to a precipitous cliff or edge, to find a great sheet of water, some twenty miles ■quarn, lying 1,500 feet below us and evidently occupying an extinct volcanic crater or craters of vast extent Perceiving villages on the border of this lake, wo descended with great difficulty through forests of pine trees, which now clothed the precipitous tides of .‘be crater, and were well received by tlie people, a simple, an warlike folk, who had never seen or even heard of a white man be­ fore, and treated us with great reverence and kindness, supplying us with as much food aud milk as we could eat and drink.

Indeed, for the first three lays of our stay there we saw little or nothing of the xenery, on account of an un­ mistakable Scotch mist which prevailed. It waa this rain that set the tsetse poison work­ ing in our remaining donkeys, ao that they oil died. This disaster left us in a very awkward po­ sition, as we had now no means of transport whatever, though, on the other hand, we had oot much to carry. Ammunition, too. was very short, cmounting to but 130 rounds of rifle cartridges and some fifty shotgun car­ tridge. How to get oo we dal not know: in­ deed it seemed to us that we bad about reached tbe cod of our tether. Even if we iiad been incliu d to abandon the object ot •>ur march, which, shad w as it was, was by no meins tbe case, it was ridiculous to think of forcing our way back some 700 miles to tbe const ‘n our present plight; so wo came to the conclusion that tbe only thing tn be done was to slop where wo were—the natives tiring so well dispo rd and food plentiful—for tbepres­ ent, and abide event* nrd try tn co l*ct infor­ mation os to tbe countries beyond. Accordingly, basing purchased a capital log canoe, large enough to bold u* all and our baggage, from the headman of tbe vil­ lage we were Uayiug in, prreeutinx him with three em|dy cold drawn biai_s cur.ridges by way of payment, u lib which he was perfectly delighted, wo ret out to make a tour of tbo lake iu order to find tho most favorable place to make n camp.

Suddenly I saw tiiat before u.x, just rising eighteen mebre or so abevetbe (.urfaceof the lake, was what looked like tbe top of tbo arch of a rob­ in rged cave or railway tunnel Evidently, from tbo water mark on tbe rock several fret aliove It, it was generally entirely submerged; but there had been a dry soaaou, and the cold had prevented tha snow from melting as freely as usual, ao tbe lake was low and tbe arch showed. Toward this arch our poor servant wn* l^lng sucked with frightful rapidity. He WM Dot more than twenty paces from it, and we were about thirty wb/-n I saw U, and with little help from u* tbe canoe flew along after him. Ha strogglrd bravely, and I thought that we should bare saved him, when suddenly I perceived an ex­ pression of despair come upon bis face, and there before our eyes he was sucked down into tbe cruel, swirling, IJuedeptlis, and vanished*; at tbe sam- moment I felt our canoe seized a» with a mighty bond aod propelled with resist less force toward tbe rock. ’ Wc realised our danger now, and rowed, or rather paddled, furiously in our attempt to gU out of tbe vortex. In vain; in another M^ond wa were flying straight for the arch like an arrow, and I thought Urat we were lost. Luckily, I retained sufficient present* of mind to shout out, instantly setting the ex­ ample by throwing myself into the bottom of tbe canoej “Down on your faces—down I" and tbe others had tbe sense to take tbe hint. In another instant there was a grinding noise, and tbe bent was push”! down Ull tbe water t>egan to trickle over tbe sides, and I thought that we were gone. But no; suddenly the grinding ceased, and we could again feel the canoe flying along. I turned my bead a lit­ tle—I dared not lift it—and looked up. By the feeble light that yet reached tbe canoe I could make out that a dense mvli of rock hung just over our beads, and that was all. In another minute I could not aven make out a* much a* that, for tbe faint light iiad merged into shadow, and tbe shadows bad been swallowed up in darkness utter and complete. For an hour or so we lay there, not daring to lift our beads for fear last tbe brains should be dashed out of them, and scarcely able to rpeak even, on account of tbe noise of the rushing water which drowned our voice*. Not, indeed, that we bad much inclination to speak, seeing that we were overwhelmed by the awfulneoi of our position and the immi­ nent fear of instant death, either by being dashed against the side* of tbe cavern or on a rock, or being sucked down in the raging waters, or perhaps asphyxiated by want of air. All of these and many other ’modes of death presented themselves to my imagina­ tion as I lay at tbe bottom of tbe canoe listen­ ing to the swirl of the hurrying water*, which ran whither we know not One other sound only could I hear, and that was Al;>bonse*s intermittent bowl of terror coming from tbe center of the canoe, and even that srennd faint and unreal. Indeed the whole thing overpowered my brain, ami I began to lieHere that I was tbe victim of sotnq ghastly, spirit shaking nightmare. CHAPTER X rnx nos* 09 rnuc. » On we flew, drawn by tbe mighty current, till at last I noticed that tbe sound of the water was not half so deafening as it Lad been, and concluded that this r.iu*t be be­ cause there was more room for the echoes to disperse in. I could now bear Al(bon*e's bowls much more distinctly; they were made up of the oddest mixture of invocations to the Supreme Power and tbe name of bis be­ loved Annette that it is posaible to conceive; and, in short, though tbeir evident aarnatiMM saved them from profanity, were, to say the least, very remarkable. Taking up a peddle, 1 managed to drive it into his riba, whereon he. to tn king that tbs end hail come, howled louder than aver. Then 1 slowly and cautiously raised myself on my knees and stretched my hand upward, but could b>uch no roof. Next I took the paddle and lifted it above my bead as high as I could, but with the same result I also thrust it out laterally to the right nn<l left, but could touch nothing except waler. Then I bethought me that there was in the boat, among our other re­ maining poesewuona. a bull's rye lantern and a tin of oil. I groped about and found it, and Laving a mutch oo me, carefully lit it, on l as anon ox the flame Iiad got a hold of the wick I turned it on down tbe bout. As it bapi«ned, tbo first thing the light lit on was the white and scared face of Alpbouse. who, thinking that it was nil over al last, and that be was witneming a preliminary ce­ lestial phenomenon, gave a terrific yell, and was with difficulty reaasurnl with tbe pad»ilf. As for tbe other three, Good was lying on the flat at lus back, his eyegla«s still fixed in bis eye, and gaxing blankly into the upper darkness. Kir Henry had his head resting on tbe thwarts of the canoe, and with bis band was trying to test tbe speed of tbe water. But wben tbe beam of light fell upon old Uimd ipoguas I could really have laughed. I think I have said that we bad put a roast quarter of water buck into tbe canoa. •Vell, It ao hapjienedatbat when we all pros­ trated ourselves to avoid being swept out of die tioat and into tint water by tbo rock roof, Umsloprigaas' Iwud bad come down unexnntnouiy near this roast Luck, and so soon m be had recovered a littk1 from tlie first >ba.l; x>f our position it occurred to him that be wu hungry.

A MODERN BY K. C. FARLEY. Loo Lei eves the latter to be the case. She pauses, twirls a curious old ring that Madam has given her round and round upon her finger, then she draws herself up stiffly and marches past the wary Captain. • Don’t talk of matrimony," says she. “Tlie subject Is tiresome."’ He catches at her gown as she goes by, and forces her to stop. “The subject is tabooed from now on and forever more." he laughs. “Bui stop, Miss Loo, let me see vour jewelry. That ia Madam’s ring, aa I'm a sinner. She has taken a wonderful liking to you, or she never would have given you that.” She waits, while he, making a pre­ tense of examining the emerald upon her finger, holds her hand. "If you must give it such close atten­ tion, * will remove it," says Loo, im­ patiently taking the ring from her fin­ ger as she speaks. "It is a atone you must have seen many times, as Madam told me she had worn it herself for “Yea." admits Hazard, flashing the emerald in tho sun, and admiring its changing color. “Pre often seen it before." . Loo waits for h'm to return the ring. The Captain evidently means to take his time about it, for he turns it about slowly, finally slipping it upon tbe lit­ tle finger of his own hand. “If you don’t mind. I’ll wear it awhile myself," says he coolly. “Wear it yourself!" Loo gasps in utter astonishment, gazing blankly at the Captain. "Yes. And you shall wear mine in re­ turn,” pulling off a diamond that has long been the secret admiration ot his astonished companion. "Even exchange is no robbery." This he says gayly, as the diamond slides upon her white finger, and there is so curious .a look in his eyes that Loo blushes, catcher her breath, and again feels that strange flutter about her heart. She has no time, however, to either expoatu'ate with the Captain upon his cool method of settling matters to bis own satisfaction, or to scold herself for her part in the transaction, for the maid at this moment approaches them with a message from Madam. bhe walks in silence by the Captain’s side, as they ut once set out for the , house. If it were not for Miss Lafarge, Loo wou’d almost believe------Never mind. She drops her ayes to the ground.

Captain,” cries Madam Dundas, casting a sharp glance upon the pair os they approach her chair. “I have made up my mind to give Loo a party, aud to thus introduce her into society.” “By all means.” assents Hazard, “the very thing. Young ladies adore parties. Miss Loo will be no excep­ tion to ihe rale.” “Let us make out a list of those we will invite." Loo fetches her writing-desk, and the Captain begins to call off tho names of tho*e whom he considers eligible. ■“Let us begin with Jack Littlefield,” says Hazard, gravely. "I feel certain that he at least of all the guests, will be very welcome." Madam jots down a list of names herself.

Madam grasps the arms of her couch and stares hard at Hazard as he makes his confession, intense astonishment depicted on her withered' face. “Loo!" reyieata the Captain sulkily. “But I believe she was prejudiced against me before she came.

Loo’s heart quaked when she re­ ceived thi* message. She was afraid to go to her father, yet because Bolton wm her father she could not refnse. It wm early twilight when she finally left tho bouse to keep her appointment un­ der the trees. He wm already waiting for her when she appeared upon the scene. “You are wonderfully improved, Loo," he says, after the first hurried salutations are over with. “Bywater Park must agree with you." . “Yes,” Loo says, abruptly. “I think it does. But you------- ” “I am no worse at least," he says, with a bitter smile; “but hush! I hear vpi es." They listen. Only tlie low chirp of a nightbird in ita nest break* the dewy stillness. “I must have been mistaken, ” Bolton speak* with evident relief. “Loo, what can you do for me, anything?” “I wrote you that I had not a cent in the world. ’’ "I know it," Bolton speaks harshly. “What a skinflint your old aunt is to be sure.

She resents th s use of her power by, Madame Duudas, but she is powerless to prevent it. “It will never do for me to press my claims for the salary,” says Bolton at last “Madam might ’fly off the hooks’ and pack you back to me at the first warning. And that would never do. Loo, can't you spare me a bit of that jewelry which 1 see loaded up on your finger^? I might pawn it until such time as your auntchooses to come down with the cash; then it would be re­ turned.” Loo glances at her fingers. It is the Captain's diamond that has taken her father’s eye. “Not this,” she says hurriedly, "the diamond is not mine. " "Whose is it, if not yours ? Loo’s head droops as she replies: “Captain Hazard’s." Bolton -looked quizzically at his daughter's red face. Then he laughed. A light seemed to break upon him. “Your aunt is a schemer. Do you know she has made Hazard her heir ?” “I do know it She told me herself, that I might build no casilea in the air, nor have any great expectations.” “I hope you expect to be Mrs. Cap­ tain Hazard, Loo.” She turns pale. “Don't jest I expect nothing of the sort.

"lam * sea tramp," said Jeff Turcott, as ho squared himself for a yarn an the forecastle of the Mary Malone, a stanch brig in the China trade out of Boston. “Leastways, if there are tramps •shore there are tramps at sea—chaps that wouldn’t make three v’yages with the same timbers under them if yon made them a present of the ship; be­ cause, why, it gets so blamed monot­ onous, so to speak, and that is the kind of critter I am. . “I’ve Bailed north and south, and east and west, and here and there promfaooous to the other p’inta of the com­ pass; but I never come so nigh losing the number of my mess as once in the Arctic Ocean. “We was in the Cachalot that trip, a •quare-rigged ship, owned in New Bed­ ford, and wo was after ’right’ whales. Sperm is all right, when you can got enough of it, but that ain’t always •My. “So our skipper would rather take a chance on good right whales, when they was plenty, than to chase cacha­ lots all over the North Pacific. “So wo shipped up through tbo •traits and got on the grounds early the first year, and when winter came wo worked down under the loo of an island, and spent it as well as wo could. “There ain’t pinch fnn in it, but what with cards and sleigh parties after musk doer, bear hunts, and games, wo managed to put in the winter. “But I tell you I was mighty glad when the ico broke away, and wo saw a chance to get out of the bar. “The old man was in a nurry. You •oo we was ncarlv full when tho ico drove us into tho bay, and he reckoned we could fill np in two months, slip down the coast with the cargo, and got away in time to be back on the grounds the same year. “Everything seemed to play right into his hands, and every day almost, when tho try-pots were not busy, we’d •trike a whale; and twice I know of wo had three of them alongside, and tho ship smelled like an oil factory. “We didn’t seem to mind that, for old salts get used to these things, and we was as anxious as any one could be to get back, because our lay was sure to be good with such a cargo, and wo oounted on a big time with 'the girls we left behind us.’ “We hod a man aboard wo called Prophet Pete. He was a Cape Cod man, a long, lank skeleton, with a face on him that would drive a man crazy if he had any love of the beautiful, so cussed homely was he. “Then ho was one of these infernal ▼ision-seeing fools, and kept the men in hot water with his prophecies. "Whether it was just bull-head luck or what not, I don't know, but what­ ever Prophet Pete Pulver said waa sure to come ont true, and the men got bo they believed every word he said. And •o, when he came to me one day, just before we struck the last whale, I knew he was coming to me with a vision. _ “ ‘I’ve had a revelation, Jeff,’ he says, in a voice like a handsaw going through n knot “ ‘Revelation be blowed,’ I said. “What's he got to do with the Cacha­ lot r “ Ton don’t understand,’ he whined. •What I want to say is that I have seen a vision.’ “Then I got mad, and said: ‘And what I wanter say fa, thet you’ll see more stars and cut more cuper-t than if you was hit by a cyclone, if you come fopling'around here with your visions. YouJre a Jonah, that's what you are, Fete Pulver.’ ’ “ ‘But this is important. I never had such a vision before, and I tell you thm, if the Cachalot don’t sail within three dsys, she will meet with Iwful peril. I------’ “Mateu, I started for that infernal prophet, and I’d have stove in his fig­ ure-head, sure, but he got out of Gali­ lee so quick I couldn’t reach him. •But he ambled ’round among tho men, and told his yarn until he got them so worked up that he nigh about bred a mutiny; and he wouldn't atop .it, and the mate had to clap the dar­ bies on him, and shore him down in the brig. “He didn't seem to care for that, either, and when thev was hauling him below, he sung out that they’d remem­ ber what he said when trouble came. “Putting him into ths hold didn’t •eem to make no difference, for the thing had got to working among tho men, and they was just as sure we were going to have trouble as if an angel had come down and told them; and they were ekally certain that the old mon -would catch it for putting Prophet Fete in the brig. “I didn't say much* mates; but I’m like all old sailors, a little inclined to be superstitious, Bad I wm uneasy •bout the thing. “It got so hot that the old man call­ ed us aft and made us a little speech. He said we was good men, ©very one, and he didn’t want io have any trouble; but no more he wouldn’t allow no sea lawyers to come aboard him and run his ship. “And if any of us felt as Pete did, why, there wm a place for him along with Pete, and if we didn’t take a drop on it pretty qniek, some one might get a taste of the cat “Now, that kind of argument is pretty strong and convincing, and we undcr,stood that tho only way to get out of that wm to buckle in and get the ship full m quick m we could, and than we could get away. “No man shirked his duty, and the second day Pete was back among us. He’d submitted to the powers that be, and promised not to make no more prophecies that trip, if ho burst a blood vessel trying to keep it in. “But he locked mighty solemn when three days passed, and we had just towed the last whale up to the aide and set in to get the blubber aboard. “We worked hard, but it wm no use trying, and we had to leave part of the work for the next day. Prophet Peter didn’t speak, but I’d a blamed sight rather he’d howled like a hurricane; it wouldn't have scared mo half bo much. He went around with his jaw dropped, his face pale as a ghost, and a look on it like he had given up all hope and was just going to cue. “I wanted to bust him in tho jaw; but what good would that do? I'd liked to have seen him keel hauled— anything to take that awful look out of his face; and I never felt happier than I did next day when the last of the blub­ ber came aboard, and we squared away for tho straits. “We had been dodging ice ever since we came out of the bay, and now when we headed up to lay a course, we found plenty more of it The most we met was in scattered Hoes, some of them as big as a house, and we dodged among them m well as we could. “Pete did his work like a man, but you could soo he was only doing it be­ cause it was his duty—not that he thought it would do anybody anv good. “ ’We seem to be skipping along all right, Pete,’ I says. “ ’Wait until night,’ he answers in a hollow voice. “I looked for a belaying pin to hit him with, but he sidled away and got out of my reach. The next day went .all right and wo had plenty of room to dodge the ice, and at night would be the time when wo must look out. “In the middle watch that night I hod tho deck, with Pete as one of the watch, and I saw him sneak forward and take his station in tho foretop. I didn’t want to stay with the fool, for his look made cold chills run down my back and into my boots; so I went up the main shrouds and into the top to take a look. There was nothing in sight, and it was cold aloft, bo Islid down and planked the deck to keep warm. “Everything was going nicely, and I was just’beginning to think what a fool I was to allow Pete Pulver to bother me, when he camo sliding down a backstay, and ran up to me. “ ’It’s come!’ he hissed. ‘Tell tho mate; hq wouldn’t believe me.’ “ ’What’s come?’ 1 gasped. “He pointed forward, and I saw a sight ouch ns I never see afore in the Northern seas. All around us, in front, astern, on both bows, and on the quar­ ters, were great iceliergs, and we had crept among them without knowing it “Pete Pulver’s prophecy had como true, for if wo escaped from tho net into which tho ship had thrust herself it would be a miracle. “I sung out for tho mate, and he jumped up on the rail and took one look. “ ‘ Call all hands,’ ho sung out, hur­ riedly, os ho jumped down again. ‘ You, there, Pete, rout out tho Cap­ tain.’ ’The old man was on deck in a mo­ ment, and he was too good a sailor not to see the danger, and that the ’bergs were closing in, and only quick work could save ns. “Right ahead were two ’bergs, per­ haps two hundred fathoms apart, bnt drawing in fast On every hand we were hemmed in, and his decision was quickly made. “ ' Set everything that will draw, alow and aloft, Mr. Trysail,’ ho or­ dered. ‘ I’m going out of this pack. Stetson, you take the wheel, and do as I tell you, for your life.’ “Stetson, harpooner in the Captain’s boat, laid his brown hand on the wheel, and the old man jumped up on the rail, where the helmsman could see him. We Kwormed aloft like a flock of bees, and before you could think, the ship was packed from rail to truck. There waa a good ten-knot breeze just over the starboard quarter, and the Captain raised his hind. “ ‘Head her due west, you at the wheel; steady—sol’ “The ship swung round and headed for the opening between tho two 'bergs. We understood then what he meant to do, and though it wm fearful risky, we knew well that it was the only thing to do. “The good ship seemed to know what wm expected of her, and fairly seemed to fly. The ’bergs were closing in, and we knew it would be touch and go. “But Captain Crafts stood like a statue on the rail, and his voice wm steady m be spoke: “ ‘Port a little—steady; that’s well!’ “The Cachalot’s horn went in be­ tween the 'bergs, and every man held his breath. If the ice extended under water further than we knew, it would be the end of all. “High above us loomed the two 'bergs, with their lofty towers and tur­ rets, and tbo space between seemed perilously narrow. “•Starboard, there 1’ cried the Cap­ tain. ‘Now, thou—helm amidships.' “There was sn awful grating sound along the keel, such a sound m I never heard before and never want to hear again, and Prophet Pete whispered in my ear: “ ‘My dream, my dream fl “Mates, I turned on that bloody pirate and give it to him right between the eyes. If we went to Davy Jones Pd at leMt have it out of him. “I felt the ship heel to port and lift at the stern, and then she slid off into dee)) water; Htetaon put the helm down, and, with the icebergs Mtern, the Cachalot wm flying on her course, saved by a hair. “And I never felt so happy m I did to think that I knocked that croaker out ao that be couldn’t see bow it was done. “Eight bells, mates. Away you go.” And wo jumped on dock before the mate got to the foksel hatch. Bill Mye on Hotels. America has mode many gigantic strides, writes Bill Nye, in the _¥ew York World, aside from those made at the battle of Bull Run, and her people spend much of their time pointing with pride to her remarkable progress, but we are prone to dwell too much upon our advantages as a summer resort and our adroit methods of declining the Presidency before we are Baked, while wo forget some.of our more important improvements, like tho elevated, railwav and the American hotel. Let us, for a moment, look at the great changes that have been wrought in hotels during the pMt century. How marked has been the improvement and how wonderful the advancement! Everything has been changed. Even the towels nave been changed! Electric bells, consisting of a long and alert wire with an overcoat button at one end and a reticent boy at the other, have taken the place of the human voice and a low-browed red elm club. Where once we were compelled to fall down a dark, narrow staircase, now we can go down the elevator or wander down the wrong stairway and find ourselves in the laundry. Whore once we were mortified by be­ ing compelled to rise at table, reach nine feet and stab a porous pancake with our fork, meantime wiping the milk gravy out of a largo yellow bowl with our coat tails, now wo can hire a UH, lithe gentleman in a full dross suit to pass us the pancakes. Even the bar-rooma of American ho­ tels are changed. Once the bar-tender waited till his customer ran all his re­ marks into one long hoarse word, with a hiccough .on tho end, and then he took him by tho collar and threw him out-into tbo cold and chaotic night. Now the bar-tender grodually rises on tho price of drinks till his customer is frozen out, and while ho is gone to the reading-room to borrow some more money the chemist moves tho bar some­ where else, and when the guest returns ho finds a barber shop where he thought ho loft a bar-room. It is very rare now that we see a United States Senator snaking a twoyear-old Mambrino hair trunk up three flights of stairs to his room in order to secure the labor vote. Men, as well m hotels and hotel soap, have changed. Whore once a cake of soap would only last a few weeks, ncienco has come in and perfected a stylo of pink soap, flavored with vanilla,’ that will fast'for years, and a new slippery elm towel that is absolutely impervious to moisture. Hand in hand this soap and towel go gayly down tbo corridors of time, wel­ coming the coming and sjieoding the parting guest, jumping deftly out of tho hands of tho aristocracy into tho hands of a receiver, but always calm, smooth, and fatherless. A great many droll characters and bright, shrewd men are mot with among hotel proprietors wherever you go. “Tho Fat Contributor" was lectur­ ing once in the State of Kentucky, and had occasion to take dinner at a sixbit hotel. After the meal Mr. Gris­ wold stepped up to the counter, took out a bale of bank-notes, which he had received for his lecture tho evening be­ fore, and asked what tho damage was. “Three dollars," said the blue graas gentleman, who hod buttoned his col­ lar with a ten-penny noil, while he looked at “Gris" with a pained expresion. “Yes, but a man ought to be able to board here a week for $30. The whole house didn’t cost mote than $40 or $15. What’s your idea in charging mo $3 for a wad of hominy and a piece of parched pork?" “Well,-- sir," said the urbane land­ lord, m he put out the fire at a dis­ tance of twenty feet by emptying his sohvary surplus on it, “I need tho money!” Tho frankness and open, candid manner of the man won Mr. Griswold, and he asked him if he thought $3 would be enough. The landlord said be could get along with that Then Griswold opened his valise and took out a largo brunette bottle of liniment marked “For external use." He passed it over to tho landlord and told him that this stuff worked as well on tho inside as it did on the outside. In a few momenta the liniment of the “Fat Contributor” and the liniment of the landlord hod merged into each other, and a friendly feeling sprang up be­ tween the two men which time hM never effaced. I have often thought of this and wondered why it is that .ho­ tel men are not more open and cordial with their guests. Many s time I have paid a large bill grudgingly when I would have done it cheerfully if the landlord had told mo he wm in need. Brussels Lace. Brussels face is celebrated all over the world, and we must not fail to visit one of the places where this beautiful and costly lace is made. Here we see a number of women, very quiet, very neatly dressed, and in some cases with wonderiully delicate and bo^i-looking hands, although they are sill plain work mg-women. Each is busy fash­ ioning the delicate pattern of a piece of lace, and it is said that each woman has a pattern of her own, which she always makes, and which, perhaps, de­ scended from her mother and grand­ mother. Borne of the women are working on cushions, with pins and bobbins, and come arc u<»ing needles and the finest and most delicate thread. We are fold that this thread is all made by hand, and it is so delicate that it has to bo spun in damp cellars, because in the dry upper air it would break before it is finished. There are old women in Brussels who have spent nearly all their lives spinning in cel­ lars. — Frank IL Stockton, in BL Nicholas.

"That voice I" ejaculated Bolton, as he seized the newcomer. “Who are you? Good God! it’s Scarth!” The butler writhes away from the grasp of the angry father. In the rapidly growing darkness his face is rendered indistinguishable. Could Frederic Bolton see that face as it looks now, he would fear for his Life. “I am Kibbey, the butler at By water Park,” the butler says, coldly. “Itmay be to the future interest of this young lady here to make some kind of terms with me, If I should repeat to Madam The father rushed upon him. Dundas the story of this meeting here it would be all up with tho young lady, so far as By water Park is concerned." "Scarth!” again ejaculates Mr. Bol­ ton. “I am not mistaken in that voice." Before Kibbey is aware of Bolton’s intention, Bolton strikes a match, and holds it excitingly in tho butler's face. "I think if this young lady should goto Madam, and tell her the past history of Kibbey the butler, that Kibbey the butler would be summarily dismissed from By water Park," said Bolton tantalizingly. “I feol sure that is what the end of this affair will come too. As for me—I am this young lady’s father, and there is no law in 'America that will deprive her of her father's society. Come now, Scarth—for you are Scarth —had you not better try to make some kind of terms with us, in order that you may not lose your present situa­ tion?" , “Send the lady away and I will talk with you," Scarth says sullenly. Loo does not wait for Bolton to tell her to go away. She is already flitting, scared and trembling, toward the house. suasive to Frederic Bolton in the feel­ ing produced by the roll of notes in his palm. He hesitates, bnt it is for an instant only. "Well," hv begins, “if you really are trying to do right, why, I—I----- " “I really am," breaks in the anxious butler, “and you may take your own time in paying back the money. I shan’t want it—not for a long, long time.” . “Very well," says Bolton; “its a bar­ gain. But there shall be no monkey­ ing with the plate as Bywater Park. Remember that." “No." replied the butler, hurriedly; “no monkeying, I promise yon. " And before Bolton can say another word, Kibbey rushes sway, leaving Bolton standing alone with the money in his hand. . “I shan’t need Loo’s locket, after all,” Bolton thinks, as he leisurely makes his way back to his hotel, “and I'm glad of it. I dislike having to put things in pawn. Here’s enough to keep Mrs. McGillicuddy quiet for months to come." , Mr. Bolton reaches his bin, writes a few lines to Loo, telling her that he has nnexpectedlyYoceived a remittance and that he will .therefore cancel the engagement for ’ Tuesday evening, blows out his candle, and in high good­ humor with himself and the world, jumps into bod. Not so with the bntler. Kibbey rushes away to his room at Bywater Park, throws himself fu­ riously into a chair, shakes two fists at an imaginary somebody, whom he anathematizes as “that d----- d Bolton," and curses until the very air is blue. ' His fury exhausted, he goes to a cup­ board. takes down a jar, and pouring out. the contents, which proved to be notes and gold pieces, proceeds to count his money. “Not enough,” he mutters, gloomily. "If I leave, and of course i’ll have to leave after this, wo must crack the crib. There’s noth­ ing else to be done. That Bolton— blast him—why did ho ever come to By water Park?” Now tho butler fetches pens, ink and paper, and proceeds to scrawl in his turn the following epistle: Bywatxb Pace. c%>. i> to let you know that everything Is “up" with mo m this here sitiwation.

"Tho thing’s got to be done," says tho butler, eying his blurred epistle with satisfaction. “Now, Miss Loo, look out for what's in the atmosphere. You and your precious pa will feel a Smiting hand soon, or I am no prophet.” It was barely possible tho butler himself was soon to feel a “smiting hand;" but of this, more anon. CHAPTER XIV.

There is absolutely no natural ground of sympathy between the workingman and the anarchist The aim of the one i* constructive, of the other destruct­ ive. The workingman seeks to better hi* condition : the anarchist to destroy all condition* and leave the ^future ar­ rangement* of society to future gener­ ations. The workingman desires most of all a share in the benefits of social organiMtioit commensurate with what his labor produces or effects for society. The anarchist* revolts against society, and would reduce it to a state in which there would be nothing to share. In Chicago the anarchists have been the worst enemies of the workingmen. They have attached themselvettto labor organizations like barnacles to a ship, not tor the benefit of labor but to it* detriment, and that they might profit by it* honesty aud industry. Even in the matter of the eight-hour agitation of 1886 the anarchists openly avowed their disbelief of its aim and expedi­ ency. But they forced themselves for­ ward iu the agitation in order to turn it to account for their principle of do•tructiou. They seized upon the cloak of a labor demonstration to mask their conspiracy against both labor and cap­ ital, foc.their war is with both. It iswcardinal principle of the anar­ chist that he must hate everything that i*-noi revolutionary. But the anarchist is a hypocrite and a liar upon principle, and the anarchists iu Chicago have demonstrated this in their profes*eed attachment to the cause of labor. They are its worst enemies. Anarchy is like the upas tree, its shadow is deadly. EXIT ANARCHISTS.

Dr. Gunn was never in greater glee than when, surrounded by his students, bo was at work upon a patient, and he always had a joke which aided in fixing what was diffi­ cult of remembrance in his students' memories. His droll stories were as fa­ miliar to the riaing medical profession aa “household word*.” His most technical lectures fairly bubbled over with wit and originality, and it was contrary to his very nature ever to become tedious.

One thing, however, every man and woman in th* country wore m tbe national tarignia, and that wm th* thick Land of gold round the right arm above the elbow and tbe left l<-g beneath th- knee.

Here we paused for a moment to admire two colossal lions, each hewn from a single block of pure black marble, and standing rampant on the termi­ nations of tbe vi He balustrade* of the stair­ case. . ■ On be went up the first flight of 130 steps, acroa* the Lrond platform joining it to the aecoud flight, a bore we jiaufli-d to admire the glorious view of cue of tbe most beautiful stretches of country that tbe world can show, edged by tbe blue waters of tbe lake. Then we passed on up this till at lost we reached tbe top, when- we found a large standing ipoce to which there were three entrances, all of small size. Two of tbe-e opened on to rather narrow galleries or roadways cut in the face of the jireripice that ran round tbe palace wall* and led to tb* principal tboroughfaree of tbe city, and were used by the Inhabitant* pawing up and down from the dock*. Tbrae were defended by gate* of bronze, ami also, os we afterward learned, it wm poMible to let down a portion of tbe roadway* themselves by withdrawing certain bolts, aud thu* render it quite impracticable fee an enemy to pom.

To this doorway our guide led u*. Tbe door, which wkbvery massive, and made of wood protected by an outer g^te of Lnxtrf, wub closed; but ou our approach It wm thrown wide, and we were met by tbe challenge of a sentry, wbo wm armed with a heavy, triangular bladed ap«ar, not un­ like a bayratet in shape, and a cutting sword, aud protorted l>y brewst and buck platev of carefully prepared hipp<>|>otaiuu« hide, and a small round sbirid fashioned of tbe umr U-ugb material.

It ia an exhaustive showing of the havoc which tho railroads have wrought and are working, in the forests of the country and tbe terribly wasteful manner in which thoir demands for timber are supplied. The report shows, also, how this wastefulness may be checked by increasing the durability of the timber used through preserving processes; by substituting where practicable other materials, and by active forestry work on the part of the railroad companies. The report is illustrated with photomicragraphs showing the structure of tho several woods used by the railroads. Buncombe County, North Carolina, 'was named after Col.

Two hundred years will hive elapsed since the revolution of The Cheyenne Leader says: “Of all the English snobs of great preten­ sions who flew high and sunk low, probably the Frewons ore the chiefs. Their career in Wyoming as great cat­ tle kings will long be remembered. They planted oysters on Ireland’s const, organized a bat guano cave stock company in Texas, constructed a beef­ packing house on the summit of the Rocky Mountains, made cowboys of freshly imported English lads, main­ tained a princely establishment on the frontier that would have bankrupted Monte Cristo, erected a city residence in Cheyenne which they occupied leas than ono month a year, established re­ lay stations so as to make lightning ■Journeys through the Territory, had flowers shipped by the wagon-load to their ‘ranch,’ and conducted business in general upon a high-pressure, go-asyou-please system that was a constant surprise to even the most reckless and extravagant Americans." To them is due in part tho collapse of Post’s Bank in Cheyenne, and bringing discredit on tho cattle business of tho West They cut a swath in tho horizon like the trail of a rocket and camo down bankrupt and useless. Who can deny that wo Americans of to-day live in the greatest country of the- globe and in tho most striking period that history has yet developed ? The United States not only pursue a steady course of feeding the rest of the world—they steadily increase tbe amount of that work. For tho ten months ending Aug. 31 the export of beef and pork exceeded by $2,007,000 the exports of tho samtf kind in the same period in 1886. The total was $65,500,000, or a ratio of over $96,­ 000,000 a year. The wonder of this is beyond parallel, and it may well claim a passing thought in these days of re­ flection upon tho greatness,the growth, and the illimitable future of the repub­ lic. Here is tho contribution of the United States to tho dinner-table of tho world in only two articles of food consumption. All other meats than beef aud pork go to swell the enormous total, es do breadstuffs, fruits, and vegetables, canned goods, etc. We not only feed ourselves more nourishingly nnd amply than anv other jieople are fed. but we send these hundreds of millions* worth of food yearly to the markets of other nations. No other country does rach a work, nor in all history has it been done. Who could possibly have foretold such a tale, sur passing any “Arabian Night" marvel, ouo hundred years ago? 4hey are charged for their new, fash­ ionable clothes. These returned goods •of the preceding season go to the •small 'means" department and uro •sold at a little advance, enough to •cover expenses. In that department workmen, clerks, and others are thus sable to buy good clothes at very low Phil? see you in town.

Social oc­ casions of ceremony are at hand, balls are to lx) danced, dinners are to be eaten, evening receptions are to be at­ tended, and it isn’t much of a belle who doesn’t feel that she must right off have at least one brand-new full-dress, to say nothing of a clever revamping of last year’s ones. A recent celebrated painting by the French artist, Garrido, represents a pretty woman garbed ready for a ball, and standing in front of her mirror for a last inspection. The picture is called “The Last Touch," and the mentioned touch is being given to her face with a powder puff. Now, our draughtsman has here copied the coquettish figure, except that ho. has clothed her ic tbe very latest sort of a ball costume, os carefully prescribed by ono of our foremost dressmakers. The two ensuing toilets are less pre­ tentious and can easily be reproduced exactly or with variations, even by an amateur worker. The first has elbow sleeves‘and a plaited vest of lace, and at the bottom of the waist is a bow of tho dross material, with decorations of lace alongside. The othep dross has a corsage of black velvet caught to­ gether at ope side with a brooch of brillkntB. A necklace is used to orna­ ment the front A strip of block Chantilly loco is plaited lightly around the nock opening. Cut jet beads trim the lower edge of tho bodice as well as the lace on the half-long sleeves. Such toilets are suitable for uvening occas­ ions of stylish dress or for those who care to go to a boll or reception in rather a quiet garb. If you intend to l>e exquisitely fash­ ionable in your entertainments this sea­ son you must hire talent from tbo trav­ eling shows. It is tbo custom in Europe for social assemblages to de­ pend on professional performers for special entertainment. After the opera is over and tho curtains are dropped in tho various theaters, tho bright actors or actresses, in full evening dress, go off to some private house in Belgravia, and there give tho howling swells proof of their talent Such men as Corney Grain and George Grosmith will visit several places in anight at $25 to $50 each. It seems beneath an artist, this taking half hours in private houses, and tho first time I saw Corney Grain, big. handsome, clover, tbe most distingiuiihed-looking man in a crowd of titled dudeietf, come in late, in full evening costume, speak to the hostess, and hold himself aloof till ho got tho cue from her lady­ ship, then press through the throng Id the piano and give a half-hour’s enter­ tainment with all the genius for which he is noted—respond to a well-bred pattering of glbvee, make a courteous acknowledgment of their applause—I was rather grieved by it. After this he would probably be seen talking with the host, he would stroll to tho smok­ ing-room, or linger a moment in the drawihg-room dpor—take something— and, as the major domo of the staff of attendants helped him on with his over­ coat, he would receive a cash envelope, take his roll of music, and jump into a cab at the door, to go perhaps to an­ other party and do his little turn again. This adds materially to an artist’s in­ come if not to his self-respect. This winter in New York tho same fashion is to be generally followed. Many comic mimics, Marshall Tilden and Frank Lincoln, and many singers, are engaged as far ahead os Feb­ ruary. The little trim l<eauty Ade­ laide Denison, who belonged to Wal­ lack’s company ono cr two seasons, immortalized herself at a little supper one night by asking “What is beer?” had a neat trick of whistling in imita­ tion of, birds. She has made a good income in London by her drawing room engagements, and now is to be heard in'society circles here during the win­ ter. Robert Heller was often impor­ tuned to give prestidigitatorial seanoes at private bouses, but he held out until August Belmont gave a children’s partv. Heller went then, and deligted little and big folks for two Glad bo hours.

Major Brewer stands in the same relation to the army as does the presiding elder to the Metho­ dist church, and is a nice speaker, with less than the usual amount of "hallelu­ iah” and more of the downright earnest­ ness in his manner.

When the war began wo used to look with a kind of awe at the fall-page wood-cuts in the New York illustrated papers o! General This, That and T’other, figged out in full regimentals, fierce- with mustache-*, aud usually with the hilt of a sword projected up toward the martial breast Stunning eques­ trian pictures of grand warriors were also much in stylo, with the rearing charger “smelling the battle afar off” (alas! it wab in the field often a long way off), and the gloved hand of the rider pointing to the distant-smoke. They were very impossible things. I well remember an interview that I had with General Custer in his tent near Harrisonburg, Virginia, in the early October of 18J4. It so happened that I knew some of his relatives in New Seems like whisperings of hope to him who’s dying. And 1 lows to watch the stare oome out and hoisted into tbo air.

Am^ah but of York, and the fact, when I mentioned tbeir names, led him to speak of him­ self and his career. Bravo and head­ long as was this yellow-haired warrior in the fight, in the seclusion of his’tent, with only two or three near him, ho was reserved, almost diffident, and it was not easy to draw him out. But I shall not soon forget the smile of con­ tempt, almost of disgust, that his face showed when I spoke of some of his pictures that had appeared in the pa- “I saw one of them,” he said, "a groat horse - picture in Harper’s Weekly. Man and horse seemed to be galloping through the clouds, straight io glory. I don’t think I ever looked as foolish as that on horseback." He certainly never did. The war had not been going on a year when the people and the War Depart­ ment made tbo discovery that some­ thing besides clothes was required to make Generals. Double-breasted coats with gilt buttons arranged in twos and threes, and shoulder-straps with stars on them,' made pretty pictures, but they didn’t direct armies. Yet at vari­ ous" times during tho war tho number i of these gentry that loafed abont Washington, with nothing to do but to drink cocktails at Willard’s and criti­ cise the campaigns, waa astonishing. In the late summer of 1862 Secretary Stanton began to enforce vigorous measures to have these high-grade dead­ beats either mustered out or sent to the front After that there was much lees of this kind of shirking. “They looked, in tbeir shining gilt and blue," said some irreverent joker, “like so many illuminated pin-wheels." And too many of them were only good for the same thing—a little sputter, gas, and smoko. Real cowardice, ihe thing that above all others disgraces tho character of the soldier, is doubly painful and hu­ miliating when exhibited by an officer. Whan it is shown bv a General, by tho man who reaps the glory that comes from the blood and wounds of thou­ sands of brave and devoted men, what language is too severe in which to de­ nounce him ? -. The subject is painful and humiliatipg, but we must not shrink from treat­ ing it on that account. These “war memories" are devoted to fact, not fiction, and the truth is what they want Said General Hooker to his cavalry commanders, when ho set out to reor­ ganize that arm, which afterward did such stout service: “Gentlemen, we want to see a dead cavalryman once in awhile." That was the real spirit, cruel as the words sound. A soldier, whatever hia rank, must do his whole duty, though ho have to sacrifice him­ self in doing it Probably the most mortifying, the most exasperating, instance of bad conduct in high places that the whole story of the war can show, occurred at the mine-explosion in front of Peters­ burg. July 30. 1864. With infinite labor and skill, * regi­ ment of brave Pennsylvania miners had tunneled under the enemy's works and constructed and charged s mine. The Generals had no faith in it, from the highest down, but merely suffered it to go on, willing, of course, to mo­ nopolize any honor that might oome from the achievement. Of the three divisions opposite the BcrintioD might be through the breach. The choice fell truthfully applied to on Ledlie's division, -which wm to be our volunteer armies followed by a colored division. during the war.

N second thought Mr. Bolton decides there is no verv pressing reason for his immedi­ ate return to the stuffy back bedroom in his city boarding-house. Tho airy country inn, in which he has estab­ lished himself pending his contemplated ne­ gotiation with the powers that be, at By­ water Park, » by all odds to be preferred to Mrs. McGilli­ cuddy’s fourth-rate lodging-house. Tho expense of living is no greater, and sum­ mer in the country'is deligbtfuL Mr. Bolton already feels invigorated and refreshed by the change. If a short sojourn in the country has done done him good, a longer one will do him still more good. Therefore, though he retires at night with the no­ tion in his head of his speedy depart­ ure in the morning, yet the m irning dawns and finds him with this idea en­ tirely dispelled from his mind. Mr. Bolton's first thought is of the roll of money the butler has given him. He hastens to sasure himself that the whole transaction enacted in the Park grounds the previous evening is no wild chimera, or shadow ot a dream, by drawing the roll of bills I from their place of concealment be-; neath his pillow and looking them over. “I may as well remain here for a short time," MysMr. Bolton, who finds it a matter of conscience to always pander to his own desires. “Madam Dundas need not know that I am with­ in a thousand miles of her, and I’ll keep shady. For Loo’s sake as well as for my own, it may be as well for me to remain in this neighborhood for a while, anyway; and Dere’s money enough, if I am careful, to last until Madam comes down with that promised salary.” The truth is, Frederic Bolton feels a strong desire to once more be looked upon as “somebody," or as an attache to the court of somebody. Madam Dundas is the great lady of tho coun­ try side, and this Bolton is quite well aware of. , Madam might and did ignore her re­ lationship to Frederic Bolton ; but Frederic Bolton never forgot, and al­ lowed nobody else to forget, the fact of his relationship to Madam. • In the country, where everybody knows everybody else, Bolton’s claim* upon the mistress of Bywater Park were admitted, and he was treated with deference and respect by the country quaintauce of Captain Hazard, and to find out, if possible, the exact con­ ditions of MsAam Dundas* will. He was a good deal annoyed to find the man Scarth domiciled at Bywator Park. Scarth waa an old offender, aa Bolton had cause to know, and there wm a doubt still in Bolton’s mind about the genuineness of tho butlex’e alleged repentance and change of life. . He believed Scarth's presence boded no good to tho inmates of Bywater Park. If Scarth really had reformed, a little ffurveiBance could do him no possible harm. While if be was up to his old tricks, the watch set upon his movements might result in positive benefit to Madam’s household. Viewing the subject all around, Bolton decided that upon tho whole the best thing to do "was to remain where upon the comers and goers at Bywater Park. By this course of conduct be was certain to please himself at any rate, and possibly he might be the means of doing Madam a good turn, which would result in winning the old lady’s forgiveness. This being his view of tbo case, Bolton made himself ‘ con­ tent He knew better than to intrude upon the household at Bywater. To intrude upon Madam was to rain every­ thing. Still, having made up his mind to act tho port of a watchdog, Mr. Bolton was faithful to the character, and thereafter, if Madam goes out in her carriage, or walks in the park, or re­ ceives a visitor, Mr. Bolton sees it No movement of tho Bywater household escapes tho watchful Bolton. If Loo rides out with the Captain, or walks with her aunt, or sits mooning under tho trees, she mav be sure the observ­ ant e^es of her father are upon her. It is only in the actions of the butler that Mr. Bolton feels curiosity and sus­ picion ; and his curiosity and suspicion rather increase than diminish aa the davs go by. The Tuesday appointed for Madam's party arrives, and, watch closely as he will, still nothing is done by the butler to warrant Bolton’s open condemna­ tion. On Tuesday morning the light wagon is driven from Bywater Park to the bank, half a mile distant, presently re­ turning with a strong, souare box that is heavily clamped and barred with iron. “The Bywater plate,” Bolton says to liimself, as the vehicle trundles past him, and hia eyes light upon the box. “Madam is doing the thing in regu­ larly swell style. There goes the fam­ ily silver, and it is valuable.” Mr. Bolton’s eyes follow the box lovingly, as the wagon disappears through the Park gates. Thon ho turns about, fetching a long sigh as his mind reverts again to the box of silver and the ease it would buy for him were it his own. and converted into cash. As ho turns away, his eyes fall upon the short, squat figure of a man who is walking hurriedly in the shadow of the trees. Bolton's first impulse is to follow him, and he yields to the impulse. The stranger is some little way in advance of Bolton, and he walks with a peculiar, cat-like, and gliding mo­ tion. Bolton follows pn slowly and care­ fully, and is astonished to see the stranger pause at a small side gate in the atone wall—a gate that has long been disused by tho Bywater Park household. A chain that has grown rusty from disuse fastens tho gate to a po*t in tl^e wall. Bolton wonders how the man will re­ move this rusty chain, but soon sees that neither the gate nor the chain itself is a bar to his ingress. The stranger’s next movement proves that he is no .stranger to the correct management of this half-forgotten gate, for he whips out a key from his pocket, fits the key in tha padlock which fastens the gate and chain to­ gether, and, presto! the gate opens easily, and he disappears at the inner side of the stone wall. Bolton wonders. He cautiouslv ap­ proaches the gate and listens as the low murmur 61 voices on the other aide of the wall is borne to his ear. There is a crevice in the high stone wall which shut* Bywater Park from the public road. To this crevice Bolton To thia crevice Bolton applied hia eyea. applies hi* eyes. He sees two figures standing neat each other on the oppo­ site side of tho wait One of the men is the party who* has just passed through the gate. The other—there is no mistake—is the rascally butler at By­ water Park. , Bolton instantly Recognizes the slim, black-robed figure of 8 earth, and all his dormant distrust is atonoearojsed. He feels certain Scarth is plotting mis­ chief, and as if to dispel even the shadow of doubt from his mind, the first low words which fall upon his ears reveal the purpose of the two plotters before him. “Yea," tho butler is saying, “the {date arrived just now. It is worth a ortune, and must be bagged to-night or not at all Madam has had it brought down from the bonk for tho party. To­ morrow it will go back again. 8o* to­ night is the time." “About what hour?" asks his confed- lore, and created a desire in him to o’clock. At two tho guests will all lie continue on in this congenial atmoo- gone, and by three the household will in the butler's hi* breath, “thia beats me. Of all th* “I don't care a straw,” 8,earth con­ tinues fiercely; “for any of the folk* at By water. I'd rather rob them thaa not Folks that have must Iom, you know.

She knew mo the minute she put her peepers on me, and I*x® expected daily to be denounced by her." “Maybe we might carry off the young lady herself,” says the other. “No; she would be a trouble. The silver is enough. I’d like to give her * little crack on the head, though, just to remember me by. And maybe I wilt” “Ho means Loo," thinks Belton, aa he gathers himself up in a bunch against the wall “Let him so much as lift a finger against a hair of Loo'* head, and it will be all. day with Scarth, or whatever he call* him*elt” The two villains now walked slowly along, still conversing, but in so low a tone that Bolton failed to catch their words. Ho had heard enough, however, to enable him to frustrate their designs, and this he meant to do,. They must not suspect that a listener had over­ hoard their plot Bolton realized this, and at once moved off down the road. Ho waa puzzed at first about the proper thing to do. But a moment** reflection decided him upon a course of action. Ho went directly to the village, and, hunting up the village constable, laid the matter before him. This offi­ cial determined to notify Captain Haz­ ard of the intended robbery, and then proceeded to lay a plan by which tho villains should bo taken in tho very CHAPTER XVL YWATER PARK is brilliantly illum­ inated. Twinkling lights from myriad* of Chinese lantern* dot the grounds, and floods of light stream from the long windows ol the house itself. The and tho roll of car­ riage wheels along tho graveled drive Captain Hazard has suggested to Madam that the or­ dinary staff at By­ water Park is quito inode juato to meet the requirements of the occasion, and a number of trained waiters from a neighboring city arrive in time to help serve the sapper. The appearance of this addition to the usual staff rather nonpluses the worthy butler at first. But Captain Hazard remarks casually that ho scut for them at tho lost mo­ ment, entirely upon his own responsi­ bility, knowing that the help kept by Mc-dam would bo unworthy so skillful a chef as tha butler hftnself, and Rib­ bey’s suspicions—if suspicions they are—at onoe subside. The Captain knew, if Kibbey did not, that the new waiters were only so many policemen in disguise. But this was i something the Captain felt justi­ fied in keeping entirely to himself. He did not even take Madam Dundas into his eoufidenoe on this point. * ' Very stately and dignified in her black catin and point lacer Madam stands in the grpat drawing-room and receives her guests. Loo stands be­ side her aunt, and there are presenta­ tions and speeches, and flowers and music and dancing. Loo’s poor head is in a whirl, but she bears the ordeal very well and acquits herself credita­ bly, even in Madam's critical judgoient. Miss Lafarge arrives late. She is fairly dazzling in silver gau e and pearls, with all her beautiful blonde in tho most bewitching fashion imagin­ able. Straightway she forces the Cap­ tain to oome to her side, and here sbo keeps him. Loo sulks a little; then she think* better of it, and being really a girl of some spirit treats her rival to a glance that is intended to be scornful, accept* Littlefield's arm and whirl* away among the dancers. Bo the hours go by. Midnight eome*. Madam has long since excused her­ self and gone to lie down on the cushions in the alcove behind the long curtains in the supper-room, bho wilt not retire.

Still, she must rest So she quietly makes her way into the alcove, unper­ ceived by any ouo, not even by tho, sharp-eyed Kibbey himself. Captain Hazard exerts himself to entertain the guests—particularly Mis* Lafarge, Loo thinks, jealously. And Miss Lafarge accepts h s attention* with becoming grace.

The Guide Scientifique gives the fol­ lowing method of making artificial whetstones: Gelatine of good quality is dissolved in its own weight of water the operation being conducted in a dark room. To the solution If per cent, bichromate of potash is added, which has previously been, dissolved in a little water. A quantity of very fine emery, equal to nine times the weight of the gelatine, is intimately mixed with gelatine solution. Pulverized flint may be substituted for emery. The mass is molded into any desired shape and is then consolidated by heavy pressure. It is dried by ex­ posure to strong sunlight for several hours. To build a chimney that will draw forever and not fill up with soot, you must build it large and sixteen inches square; use good brickand clay instead of lime up to the comb; plaster it in­ side with clay mixed with salt; for chimney tops’ use the very best of brick, wet them and lay them in ce­ ment mortar. The chimney should not be built tight to Ixuims or rafters, as most chimneys settle a little, and if too tight between the beams and rafters there is where the crack in your chimneys comes and where the most of the fires originate, as the chimney sometimes gels red hot. A chimney built from cellar up is better - aud less dangerous than one hung on the wall. Don’t get your stovepipe hole so close to the ceiling, eighteen inches from it. — The Builder. In dealing with a cellar in springy ground, the first thing to be done to make it dry, says the Sanitary Engi­ neer, is to provide some chance for the water to run away before getting into the cellar. This may be done by lay­ ing a two-inch tile drain pipe in a trench dug all around the foundation outside of the walls, and from one foot to two feet below the cellar floor. Put this pipe together without mortar and cover it with cobblestones to keep out the dirt and sand. If it be not prac­ ticable to lay the drain outside it may­ be laid inside of the cellar walls, di­ rectly in the cellar floor, but the opera­ tion of such a drain is less efficient. The bick-illllng of the cellar walls should be porous enough to allow the water to go directly into the drain. The Milling World thus descril>es how to lace rubber belts properly: The bells should be placed on tlio pulleys as tightly as possible. This can be best done by the use of belt clamps, except in the case of very narrow lielts. In al! cases the belt should be cut about one-eighth of an inch less than tlie distance around the pulleys with a tope line. The seam of the belt should always be on Hie outside. For narrow belts butt tbe two ends to­ gether, make two rows of holes in each end, thus obtaining a double hold, and lace with lace-leather. For wide belts put in addition on the back a strong piece of leather or rubber, .and sew or rivet it to the belt. If the belt should slip it should be lightly moistened with boiled linseed oil; animal oil will ruin the belt. If one application does not firoduce the desired result repeat until t does. The belts will be greatly im­ proved and Uieir durability increased by coating the surface lightly with a composition made of equal parts of black lead and litharge mixed with boiled linseed vll and Japan, enough to cause it to dry quickly; the effects of this will be to produce a finely pol­ ished surface. tresses to bring elatxirate silk and satirr costumes to be renewed, and we alsohave many fine ball dresses. We do not take them apart, but cleanse them as they are. They are first dipped in a bath of naphtha, and this removes ink, champagne and many other stains. Then they go into a bath of pure ben­ zine, which takes out all the grease. They are softly rubbed in these baths, and any spots remaining are treated with oxalic a c d. They are rinsed out in warm water, and dried over steam coils. To iron them would harden the silk and make it shiny, so it is run over steam rolls or ironed between flannels. We have ironers whose bus­ iness is to iron dresses, and when they have finished a dress it looks new..

Of course, flies are a great annoy­ ance to us, but how much we trouble the flies. From the fly’s standpoint— ou the top of a bald head, for instance —man was created for his sustenance aud diversion. He can see no other use for a man, even with his multifariouseyes. Had we wings with which we could fly. or were our feet so con­ structed tluit we could walk on the ceil­ ing. head down ns the fly does, perhaps we might win his respect, but as it is we must be coptent with a low place in tlm fly’s estimation.

The girls have discovered the gum­ board, and haring seen at once what a marvel of comfort it is, have with characteristic taste made it ornamental as well ns useful. Tlrty decorate the sides of the frame, pin silk ribbons upon the corners, hang it upou the walls of their chambers, and in some cases have even gone so far as to issue orders for special gum-boards to bo made, that in color and foam shall har­ monize with tho furniture in their apart­ ments. What is u pum-board ? Heretofore tho discoverer of a par­ ticularly choice morsel of tutti-frutti, or spruce, has been obliged, when oc­ casion demanded the relinquishment of the chew, to stick it upon the mantel­ piece or upon tbe window-frame; or, when retiring, upon the bed-post The objections to this method of preserving the morsel are apparent and well known to all who have tried it If placed upon the bed-post or window-frame it is liable, upon«eing taken off again to resume the mastication, to carry some flavor of paint with it during the first few chews. This, of course, is disa­ greeable in itself, and most so because it detracts from the esthetic enjoyment of tbe gum. On the other hand, if the gum is placed on the marble mantel it is liable to take up with it, when re­ moved, some of tho dust that invaria­ bly lingers upon any piece W furniture In spite of the most careful attention of the housemaid. The gum-board is designed to over­ come all these disagreeable- features of the preservation of the chew. It is made of hinhly polished alate, and is surrounded by a 'frame which makes the board itself set in about an inch or a little more from the level of tbe frame. Then there is a nice glass door on binges that shuts in upon the gum­ board, thus protecting it from dust When the girl, then, has chewed a suf­ ficiently long time on ber gum, or is in­ terrupted in the process of her n-sthctic enjoyment by callers, and is under the necessity, therefore, of using her teeth and tongue for conversational pnrposea, she simply open« this glass door, presses the morsel of gum upon the polished slate, closes the door, and leaves it, confident that, when she wishes to return to her delectable pleasure, the morsel can be taken up entirely free from any heterogeneous matter.

Union Thanksgiving services were held at the Evangelical chart h Thurs­ day, at 10.30, a. m. The pastors of the I churches were present, and members of the Salvation Army were on tho plat­ form. The audience was quite good considering the unpleasant weather. The difierent church choirs were united and tilled the singers’ side of the plat­ form. Rev. W. A. Koehler read the scripture lesson and the hymns, and Rev. Robert Bramfitt read the Presi­ dent’s proclamation and offered prayer. The sermon was by Rev. F. Hurd, on Leviticas, 25-11, first danse: "A jubilee shall the fiftieth year be unto thee.” It wm a historical discourse suggested by the fact that the present year completes fifty years of Michigan’s statehood. The historic survey glanced briefly at French discovery and occupation, the transfer to British rule, the conspiracy of Pontiac, the session to the United States in 17W5, Hull’s surrender of De­ troit, and tbereatoratton of the state in ’Twos Tuesday last, and o’er the fro­ zen varth the snow in dazzling white­ ness lay, and through tho cracks and crevices a cutting wind did play.

Prince, and from Bert Downs his wagon, and’ the job we will com­ mence. We’ll bring saw dust from the mill-yard, I guess ’twill cost us nix, and shortly will capture grim old Boreas at his tricks. The fillinl son went on his way, secured the aged roan, and from obliging Bert his wagon easily procured the loan. He hitched up to it, buckling tightly all the straps he found, ne­ glecting the south end of the horse the breeching to put round, and started off. Into a hole the wagon went “kcrcbuck,” and the lad profane as usual, commenced to id—n the luck in language unmistakable. The steed, "gol blast his pate,” feeling the wagou strike his heels, sped eastward at a rate that made Frank’s hair lift and his ruddy face get white as chalk, and while he swore in good big swear-words the next time he rode he’d walk. The corner turned in safety, toward the north the race went on, while the lad stood bravely at his post with pallid face and wan, the reins gripped-with the clutch of desperation, while his hair streamed out a yard behind him in the nipping winter air. The father, watching for the coming of bis dearly loved son, heard far oft to the southward the rum­ ble and the hum of flying cartwheels, and the patter of swift hoofs, and rush­ ing quick into the street, beheld a sight that nearly made the old man sick. No action took be, till into hte shell-like ear the wild cry rolls, "Dad ; 0, dad! hurry ! head us off, gol darn our foolish souls.” Then waved be a shovel wild­ ly, yelling like a demon crazy, shouting "If you get by me, old nag, you surely. Are a daisy,” but the pile of bones fled past him, left him standing in the street, and again from the far distance comes the patter of the feet. Suddenly the house of ..Durkee looms in sight, and quickly turning, to the barn-yard flies the equine, all his soul within him yearning for that half-a-pint of oats. While the wagon was left sticking on the gate post; from the snowy lawn the lad waa slowly picking his dilapi­ dated frame.

Fierce partisanship, the “crap” table, and a strong inclination toward jig-dancing bad so discouraged tbe former preach­ er, a quiet *old negro, devoted to his creed and fresh ahote-meat, that he surrendered bis charge after having been “bucked" against a gin-house by two mourners, to whom bright promis­ es had been made, but who had failed to “pull through" at a recent revival, and resumed bis former employm'ent of chopping stove-wood at a village tavern.

For 50 cents a good qual­ ity, although of little coarser texture and cl doable width, may be purchased. For a full costume from eight to ten yards will be needed, and it is always wise to purchase a yard extra, so that in case of the dress being remade there will be new material for sleeves and basque fronts. A tasteful way to have a cashmere drees miulu is as follows: Have the skirt two aud a ball yards wide and just escaping the ground all abouL Yey strout figures need the skirt longer in front than in the back, and un­ less this point is strictly attended to the effect of the entire drew#'is spoiled. Ttaskirt should ta made plain and* finished with a two-inch hem, over a heavy lining, o lged with a very narrow side plaiting. Tta back of tho srirt should have twe reeds. Tta overdress, or, rather, tta drapery, should be very full and full to ths edge of tbe skirt, tta basque made pointed in front, high on the bins, and box-phi ed in the back lapels, with a simulated rest and rovers nnd a standing collar nnd cuffs. A plain cashmere like this should always have small buttons of tta same color. There ore many cheaper materials of all­ wool that are suitable for such n dress. . A pretty and cheap gown tor a young lady, which will do for both fall and win­ ter," tuoy bo made out of a dark-blue «■ rge, which, at fifty cents a yard, double width, la of excellent quality. Six yards of the derge and a yard of dark-blue moire at two dollars will make the dress iu one of the fashionable modes. The skirt should have n wide side-plaiting from tbe hip to the edge over a lining. The drapery should be 'fathered about tbe hips and fall half way to tta knees in front, with a full back draperr. ending in a foml nnd worn ovei three reeds placed iu the skirt. Tta laxiice should have a pointed ironL and be cul short over the hips, with a pointed vest and n similar piece in the back of tbe moire aud a high collar of tho same. The sleeves should be puffed full to tho clbofrs aud the long cuffs to the wrists of the moire. The material, including buttons and linings. for this neat suit, should not cost over seven dollars. Young ladies of small means needing n new dress for evening wear desire gen­ erally something that is tasteful nnd odd. Cheap satins and silks are nut to be rec­ ommended, because they look lawdry after ono wearing, and are* really expensive. Tarlatan is one of the prettiest materials for a ball gown, nnd may be worn three or four times; but there ore many thin woolen goods that are far more preferable. Nun’s veiling is one of these, und a fine quality may be bad at 40 to -r>0 cents a yard, double width. This material is particularly adapt­ ed to graceful draping, and will wash nnd iron nicely. For a party dress a rose-col­ ored nun’s veiling, made over eilesia a tnde brighter in color, is pretty. A yon ng girl would look well iu such a dress, mode with a plain skirt, a French wrist, with low neck and short puffed sleeves, and a wide sash of the same material knotted in a butterfly bow behind.

Who's talking in the parlor?” “Lyman Drake came while you were down street, nnd he and Eva are there.” The Judge turned to his desk again, wrote two or three letters, and then threw himself bac i in his easy chair. When his wife was ready to go up­ stairs, sho liad to arouse him from a deep revery. “Do you hear, Jonathan?” she said. "I’m going to bed. When you come up, be sure to blow out this lamp.

One was a painted miniature of a laughing child with yellow ringlets; the other a photograph of the Captain in uniform. He looked from one to the other, this upright Judge, this stern father.

His back was to tho door; her face was neces­ sarily turned in tho same direction; a leave-taking which it would be a broach of confidence in us to describe was just about to occur—when Lyman wax startled bv tho sudden pallor of Eva’s face, and tho trembling of her whole per.ion.

There ia another one. lying senseless in tho yard. Go and wake the fol'-s; I’ll send some people in to take care of them. Good-night!" He had started toward tbe door, when ho heard a subdued scream, and a pair of arms were thrown round his neck. “It’s yon, Loony! I know you!

Meantime, Lyman Drake, observing that he was a kind of nobody in this scene, conceived an idea, and promptly acted on it, which showed him to be a very level-headed young man.

If of al! parts of the house the parlor receives first consideration by the yooDg ncel-buildets, there is good rea-on for unEk-asant prophesy as to the future wellein-i of the family. To provide perfect kitchen equipments lequires a special int> lligtfnce gathered only by experience that abnit enable one to meet the exactions of individual conditions. If tbo young wife lacks pract-cal exnerienov abe cannot do better than apply lo (be elders of her ac­ quaintance tor advice as lo limitations rather than nbun dance ot supplies. At every house-furnisher's shop she will ba presented with a long list df household i easels, including every essential for tho kitchen, closets and drawer; but not ona of the catalogue1* will tell her what aha can do without and not l>a incommoded. She who with pride exhibits the newly furnish­ ed kitchen cloaata before she displays bar wedding presents inadvertently intimates that she means to be a thrifty housewife. If the young housekeeper exhibit a keen interest in her kitchen utensils, the person who has charge of them will be apt to take greater care, either through imitation, or by a natural fidelity to her employer. If the mistress of the house should be the one who prepares the food for t'_o family, she will have better success if she is careful to have the different ve-iaels bright aud shin­ ing. If she has not time or strength to moke tho poUi and pans maintain their first brightness, she had better choose Ge man earthen sauce-pans, uhich are inexpensive and eiuuly kept sweet and clean. Above all, aim to have everything about the kitchen tend to make the work as easy as possible. By being careful in this way, and ecouomitinx’ every moment, time may be saved fur reading, making little articles to braulify the home, or for tbe neceystny os wing mid mending. . ■' For painting walls or other objects exposed to dampness, • mixture has come into extensive use in Germany formed of very fine iron filings anil linsaed-oil verni»h.

Bo interesting is the Chicora, she is now called, .and it will be a matter of such cariosity to thousands to know prec sely what kind of vessel was able to success­ fully run the blockade, that I have taken the pains to get from her Captain all necessary particulars about her. She is a clipper-budt craft, sharp at the bows, sits low in tne water, though a double-decker, and him a “rake” to mast and smoke-pipes. Her length out of water is 230 feet; breadth, 4M feet; depth of hold, 13 feet; gross tonnage, 93J. She has double oscillating en­ gines; cylinders 42-inch stroke, 52 inches diameter; sho is double-decked, with five water-tight compartment*. Bessemer steel .was used in her con­ struction. Sho is capable of. the great speed of eighteen miles per hour. Her saloons nixl interior fittings are handsome, and, excepting some umall changes which wero necessaxy to fit her for her present business, the Chi­ cora remains the same as when, in tho old war days, ahe plowed the blue water between Nassau aud Charleston, and successfully showed her light heels to tbo swiftest of our steam cruisers outside the harbor. Her present name was given her after tho war. when sho was transferred to tho lakes. In her former history ahe‘ was known as the “Letter B,” and the boll that has hung in front of tho pilot­ house over since sho wss launched lias this singular name cast into it She was built in tho famous docks of Liverl>ool, in the first year of tho war, espe­ cially for tho dangerous service of a blockade-runner, and I presume that the Lords of tho Admiralty shut ono Se. looked the other way, and p..t eir fingers beside thoir nosos when she was launched, and ex­ pressed groat surprise soon after when informed that such ft vessel hud got to sea.

I beard from enough in the memories of the 5 moat important part in the great struggle; they did their work w*el 1; they should -r*-, ~ have all honor for it Knowing very little L-vv ---- of from my OWH knowledge, yet I believe that there was no more exciting nor important service during the war than that of tlie block­ ades. Here was an Atlantic and Gulf coast of more than one thousand miles to bo guarded. Not only were the principal harbors of the Confederacy to be sealed up to commerce aud sliut against the ingress of everything that was contrabarffl of war, but the multi­ tude of small streams coming down to the sea were also to be watched. Cot­ ton was actually taken from these “holes in the wall" along the Gulf coast to Nassau by vessels so small that they could only carry half a dozen bales; but it all helped tbe Confederate loan in England. So large was tho theater of tbe blockade, and so pressing the need of tbe United States for ves­ sels, that it was impossible to wait for them to be built. Before the monitors and other war-ships could be construct­ ed. and onr scattered navy recalled from tbo four quarters of the globe, the Government hod purchased pretty much everything on tbo great lakes that carried steam, mainly for tbe quartermaster's department; but there wero some queer-looking war-ships, too, off tbe coast, during tho first year of the war. An immense fleet win soon collected, largely manned by volunteer sailors; and they were vigilant enough. A steamer from New York to New Or­ leans (os I know from personal experi­ ence) could not approach the coast near enough to see the tops or lights of the blockaders off Charleston without a swift vessel from tho fleet putting to sea after her, and usually a small boat was sent aboard to make sure of tbe character of the stranger. Vigilant as were the blockdflers, and many of tlie swift craft as they sunk or run ashore when seeking to run in, there was still a surprising degree of success at Wilmington and Charleston on the part of the blockade-runners. The service was most exciting and per­ ilous. The steamers used were of En­ glish build, and were always swift They were ruu by men perfectly reckleas of their lives, to whom excitement and danger were meat aud drink; but men, too, who knew that just one cargo of rifles, cloth, ammunition, medical YjBKySL flB • ■i i taken in, might enrich them for life. They usually chose a perfectly dark night, got ia as close to the fleet aa possible without discovery, and then put on all steam, and dashed in under a tempest of shot and shell. A few round shot in the hull above the water­ line counted little so long bs the en­ gines were not disabled. safely moored at th® wharf at Wilming­ ton, Charleston, Mobile, or Galveston! Almont the whole population of the meanness and selfishness during our great struggle for national existence. The “Letter B” soon became well known' to onr navy. She was com­ manded in those days by Captain Stevenson, of South Carolina. By his skill and daring, rare good luck, and her own swiftness, this steamer, al­ though often chased and brought with­ in range of our guns, always escaped without injury, and made ‘a successful run into Charleston harbor with a full cargo no loss than eight times. I doubt if there ia another craft afloat that can match her history. Often os I take a trip upon her among a crowd of plcasnre-seekers, and observe her swiftness on these quiet inland waters, I seem to look bock to those breathless times and see her flying over rough billows with the roar of guns in her wake and tbe skipping of balls and shells about her, into the harbor, past the frowning ruins of Sumter, while lanterns hung out from the tall church-spires beacon her perilous way. As we were lying in Chattanooga in the fall of 1MJ3, says the writer in an exchange, on short rations, a detail was made for wagon guards to go to Stevenson after supplies. My brother, two other comrades and myself, who were detailed ont of our company, drew a scanty five days’ rations, which were to last us through. Being very hungry, we sat down and ate it up at one meal, and started for Stevenson, a distance of about sixty miles. About three o’clock iu the afternoon the wagon-train stopped in the Sequatchie Valley for the night to get forage for tbe men and mules, and so wo four started off to see what we could find. After going about three miles two of us stopped under a persimmon tree, near a bttle log cabin, and the other two went ou to the cabin. White ioj com­ rade aud myself were eating persimmon* I looked up and saw a porker coming toward us from the cabin. Comrade Cal Day, who had a horse but no gun, said to mo: “Hank, shoot that pig.” and I battled off and took him under the ear. The pig gave one squeal, and be was “our meat." The woman of the cabin, bearing tbe pig squeal, came to the door and told us that wm her pet pig, and we should not kill it. She wm very angry, and ordered the two comrades who were in the cabin to "get out.” We caught’ bold of tbe pig and dragged him into a piece of woods a little distance back of the cabin, aud began dressing him. When we had him nearly dressed the two comrades came from’ the cabin and told Uft if we wanted something to eat to go up there and get it. on her arm going .to milk.

She looks away, partly recovering herself, and gives the Captain her hand. “I am not feeling well, I think," is what she says, faintly. ■ “With your per­ mission, Madam, I will bid you good­ night ” She stoops before Madam, then turns toward the Captain. An evil countenance, on which is written every evil emotion known to the human heart, peers at her from tbe shadow s of the stairs down which she has just come. Miss Lafarge secs this face. She re­ treats two steps. White foam begins to gather upoii her livid lip*. "Judith, says a low and warning voice. ■ Her teeth chatter.

A long, wild piercing shriek, that rings throughout the house—a uhrick that paralyzes Madam in her chair—a shriek that fetches the guests from the chambers— a shriek that brings tho servants from below stairs—the policemen from tho park grounds. The butler drops his tray and it falls crx aing to the floor. He looks im­ ploringly at Hazard, who stand* trans­ fixed with astonishment. People crowd into tho hall; guest* and servants mingle confusedly to­ gether. Miss Lafarge sees nolxxly, nothing but the evil face and twinkling red eyes of the stranger. She shrieks again. Suddenly she rushes toward him; her eyes look like blue flames, she leaps upon him like a tigress, and. snapping, snarling, buries her little white teeth repeatedly iu his flesh.

She sees nobody but the rascally butler and bis equally rascally confrere. She recognizes both. “Hearth!” she screams. “Scarth and Jim Donithorne. Lost, lost! Why did j ou not tell mo that wretch was here? Lost! All lost!" Thon she heaves a great sigh. “This is a pretty bit of work." hisses Donithorne at the craven butler. “I believe this is a vile plot between you both to ruin me.” “I thought she was dead,” begins Scarth, pale with terror. “You sent mo yourself a newspaper account of her death. How could I know she was alive and right here under my very nose ? I tell you I am as much sur­ prised as you can possibly be." < "It wa* the other one that died," cries the false Miss Lafarge. “She wm burned in the railway accident, when tho floor flew up to the ceiling and the ceiling came down to the floor. She ought to have died, the silly goose. She told me everything. They carried her out on a board—she was a long, white thing then in a sheet I gave her my clothes.

EAST LIBERTY. [SPECIAL CHICAGO COBBKSPOKDENCE. | Winter is now fairly upon us, and around the shipping and receiving doors of the big sporting-goods establiihmonto of Chicago are piled great stacks—not of base-hsll bate, muki, bells, gloves, snd other para-J p hern al in of the diamond, but of tobog­ gans, bob-sleds, gymnssium apparatus, caset of ice and roller skates, cases of wsna snd brilliantly hued Canadian > wool blankets, for manufacture in­ to toboggan costumes, piles of snowshoes and crates of racquet bate, and all other appliances necessary to in and out door winter sports. If the weather is favorable throughout the Northwest this winter, tbo indication* are that winter sports will be more gener­ ally indulged in this year than ever before. Among outdoor sports, tobogganing and ice skating will of course take the prefer­ ence. The manager of tbe Chicago house of Spalding A Bros., who probably handle tbs largest number of toboggans and ice skates of any sporting goods house in the country, remarked to an inquirer the other day that where theii house alone sold over 8,600 toboggans last year and material for nearly 3,000 cos­ tumes, they expected that the demand this year would be almost double these figures. Inquiries are being received daily as to the cost of toboggans and toboggan outfits, and the cost of erecting slides. From present indications it is safe to say i that the coming holidays will find one or more slides in ojieration in every populous town in the Northwest It is an easy mat­ ter for thirty or forty young people to get together, /orm a club, and contrib­ ute $10 or $15 apiece toward the construction of a slide and the purchase of a score of star toboggans. Judging from the manner in which the young people of Chicago have gone into the sport already, they expect to receive their full share of fun for the expense in­ curred. And why not? An excellent arti­ ficial slide can be erected for from $250 to $360, and the lumber can always bo con­ verted io other uses after the eesnon closes, or can be stored away for construction when another season begins. Where natural slides exist, this exp n*e jof course need not be incurred. Twenty toboggans will cost $100 more, and cos turn ex can be purchased or made at home with such expense as the owner can afford. When thia has been done the sport to be enjoyed upon the torch-lighted and ice-sheeted run ways, or by the rays of a full moon when a score or more of rosy-cheeked and brilliantly costumed couples are out for a slide in the crisp, cold air, can only be fully under­ stood when participated in. Of course a regulation toboggan costume is not really neceMary to the enjoyment of this pastimeof the Canadians, but when a tobogganist of either aex is properly costumed they can enjoy tbe sport withmuch more zest and satisfaction. As to the work of putting up a sli^e, the method of construction js verv cheap, simple and strong, but care should be taken that tho brace* and floor beams snd posts are thoroughly well spiked together. By boarding up around the posts of the lower part of the level port of the platform, a large room will be afforded, at a slight ad­ ditional cost, which may be kept warm, if desired, and afford a means of shelter or a place for refreshments, as well m to afford, a place for tbe club to store their articles under lock and key. In ordinarily favora­ ble localities the coat ought not to exceed <250, which is a liberal estimate. Another form of winter sport which Chi­ cagoans have takep hold of in earnest this season is that of racquets, and when one has participated in a single game they be­ come, as a rule, enthusiastic admirers of it. A month ago CspL Anson, tho big cap­ tain of the Chicago ball club, assumed the management of tbe only racquet court there was in the city at that time. It stands on Michigan avenue, snd is easily acccMible by dub men. Board of Trade men, and the wealthy young bloods of the city who have become regular frequenters of the court since it opened. Many readers will uk, " What is racquet?"' for the game has never been very exten­ sively played in this country. It is similar to the odd game of hand-ball, only that the ball is smaller and harder than a hand­ ball, and is struck with a bat something like a tennis racquet, but longer handled. Tbe game is played in an inclosed court, tho regulation court being about thirty-five feet long, twenty feet wide, and twenty-twofeet high; the walls and floors of solid cement, and tbe whole lighted by a sky light in the ceiling. The rules of hand­ ball apply to tbe game of racquet, and nocxercise that a young man or woman can indulge in is more beneficial in every way. Of course it is not necessary to construct a regulation court to enjoy the game. A spacious loft of any kind, with the walls solidly boarded or plastered and lighted from above, would answer admirably, the only expense necessary being the pur­ chase of the racquets and a box of balls, with, perhaps, a flannel or worst­ ed gymoMinm shirt and a pairof rubber-soled exercising shoes. These can be found at any sporting goods bouse. In Chicago the game is rapidly taking the place of many other athletic pastimes. It is groat work to get into Anson's court and throw one's seif into a profuse perspiration through the active work necessitated by the character of th* play. Then to strip off, stand under..a shower, and afterward have a strong, armed attendant rob one down until your muscle* feel firm and vigorous, and your akin is red with tho chfiang gives an exilarating and healthful effect not allowed by any other means. Racquet is a great sport—at least so say all who have indulged in it. GENERAL MENTION. The gate receipts of tho recent pedes­ trian match at Philadelphia wore only $5,000.

A novelty has been supplied to the lovers of exaitement. Whether jt fall* under the head of aeronautics, gymnas­ tics, or simply daring, doe* not seem easy to determine. It certainly involve* all three, although tho man who sup­ plies the novelty is as cool as if he were folding a napkin. . Perhaps an explanation of the feat xnay enable the reader to appreciate better how it should be determined. A young fellow twenty-seven years of age ascends by rowans of a balloon, sometimes as high as five thousand feet, throws himself over from tho basket and drops to the ground. Hap­ pily, he is assisted by a parachute, or else he would not have dropped but once, and that once would have been too often. Thomas 8. Baldwin, of Quincy, HL, is the name of the young man. He traveled for several years with a circus as a professional gymnast, then took to tight-rope walking, and finally to bal­ looning. His first jump from a balloon waa made in January of this year at San Francisco.

The increa** in tbe whole number or postoffices was 1,453 aud tbe whole number in operation June 30, 1887, wa# 55,157.

A# a result of the annual adjustment of postmasters' salaries, which took effect July 1, 1887, twenty-two offices of tbe third class were reduced to the fourth Clasx, and two offices of tbe fourth class were assigned to tbe third class, leaving 2,336 presidential offices.

Among the principal contract article* consumed by tho postal service were about 399 tons of wrapping twine, over 193,000,­ 000 facing slips, over 60,000.000 blanks, and nearly 7,000,000 letterheads. The following recommendations are made: That tbe deposit of fifty cents for each postoffice-box key be reduced to twentv-flve cents; that authority be granted and the neceesary appropriation be made for paying the rent of third-class postoffioes.

The revenue from tho money order business was $719,336, making a total revenue of $48,­ 837,609. Tbe total expend-tures for the year, including actual and estimated out­ standing liabilities, amounted to $53,133,­ 252, showing a deficit in the revenue of $4,295,643. In addition to this there wa# certified to the Secretary of tbe Treas­ ury for credit to the Pacific Railway Com­ panies, in their accounts with the Govern­ ment, being tho amount earned by them fc carrying the mads, $1,187,027.

Hour* «f Labor Iu Russia. _ An inspecting committee of factories exists in Russia, and this committee has lately published, says Iron, a re­ port which conUiua some interesting data concerning the hours of labor in that country, taken from the inspection during the past year of 2,214 manufact­ uring establishment*, representing 125 different branches of industry. From the information thus collected, it ap­ pears that a great difference exists be­ tween the working hours at the various establishments, in the large majority of them men and women work equal time. The number of daily working hours varies from six to twenty in tho various branches of production, and, in one or two special cases, uninterrupted toil is prosecuted for the twenty-four hours by relays. It is remarkable that these great divergencies in the number of working hours occur in tho same branches of industry, within the same inspector’s district, nnd among estab­ lishments whose produce realises the same market price. A difference oc­ curs of from one to eleven hours in manufactories of tho satfln nature. Tho probable cause of this is the extent of tho works and the greater or less local demand for tbe articles produced. Tho longer hours are, however, to be found in those establishments of primitive construction, and belonging to propri­ etory who uro either ignorant of, or profess to be ignorant of, modern tech­ nical development Night work is pur­ sued in 247 establishments, or 20 per cent of the total number, but princi­ pally in tho governments of Moscow and Vladimir. The majority of tho es­ tablishments open at 5 a. m. and close not later than !) p. m. These represcntZWG, or 74.6 per cent, of the total number inspected, so that the law of June 1, 1HN2, for tho protection of children, and fixing their maximum number of hours of day labor at from 5 a. m. to *.i p. m,. and of night labor at from 9 p. m. to 9 a. m., does not affect them, any more than the law of Juno 3, 1865, by which female night labor is prohibited in certain indus­ tries, notably tbe textile industry.

Was there no escape out of, thia demon's < lulcht*, he wondered ?Oh, ye needn't be calculatin’ to nth, you blaek scamp, Decsuna within sound of my. whittle there’s a dozen warn-, comrade* quite ready to hang you on oue o' those tree. if I bnt say the word.

State trembled like an aspen, for the name given belonged to one of the worst white renegade* in all that coun­ try, and well known to every settler as a desperado’and outlaw. “Will ye do as Isay?" “Don’t shoot! Yes, boss, I—I promise.” “You’d better, if you want to keep a whole skin, liemember to hav., the door unlocked at the first gentle rap, aud mum’s the word—don’t forget that" And without another word the man mounted his horse and rode away, sat­ isfied that tbo frightened darky would obey him to tho letter. Poor terrified Skete didn’t cut down any more trees, but stood tremblingly by his ax and looking helplessly to­ ward home. At last he roused himself, and us the sun swung down under the level plains in the west he gathered up his sx and slowly made his way in the direction of Fairleigh Ranch. State bad been a slave back in old Virginis, but he usd clung to his old master after he got his freedom and willingly followed him, like the faith­ ful dog he was, to l he far West. He was u loving, ignorant old soul, easily frightened, as tbe m.n who proposed making a tool out of him well knew. Fairleigh Bench was a large, barnhke structure, surrounded by numer­ ous sheds and corrals. There was no other human habitation within less than five miles. The ranch was situ; ated in the vast plains of the Platte Valley, where iu owner. Richard Fair­ leigh, luul purchased hundreds of the cheap prairie acres and also hundreds of sheep and cattle, which wandered for many miles watched bv his numer­ ous cowboys.' The -muddv, shallow Platte River was within bight, and to one not initiated into its uselessness as to navigation and treacherous sand­ bars, it appeared quite majestic. At the time of the commencement of our story the Union Pacific had been com­ pleted only a short time, beyond their ranch home, and settlers were just be­ ginning to flock to that fair section of country. i.ichard Fairleigh had been iu the West so* oral years, had grown ac­ customed to pioneer privations and frontier dangers, and was fast growing rich owing to his. numerous herds and simple habits. As the sun disappeared in the west­ ern horizon a girl came to the front door ot tho ranch aud gazed long and earnestly in the direction of the river. She was about eighteen, of medium size, and with a face almost if not quite beautiful. She wore a dark print dress, with a plain white apron, and her luxuriant brown hair hung in one heavy braid down to her waist and was tied with a bunch ot bright blue rib­ bon. the only bit of adornment about her fair person. “I do wonder what keeps papa so long absent. I never like for h m to be out alone after night, especially when I know he carries a large sum of money, os he does to-night Ah! there he is at last, and here comes lazy State, walking slower, if possible, than usual" "Hichard Fairleigh was a man of some fifty-five summers, tall and grim iu ap­ pearance. He possessed few acquaint­ ances, seemed to care for no one’s friendship, unless it was that of his faith­ ful Skete and his fair young daughter. Even to them he was meager in the be­ trayal of his affections. What his former life had been was not easily told from his deep-lined, moody face, or bis conversat on.

After pretending to eat his supper Skete crept around to Nora’s side and whispered: “Mias Nora, Miss Nora, Massa Fair­ leigh. h—he------ ” "Well, State, what is it?" wonderingly. for State's tongue was usually glib enough. "Oh, nothin' 'tall, ’oept did—did Massa Fairleigh bring home de money ?" “The money ? Oh, to pay the hands and that note of Simpson's. Yea, I think he did; what a funny question, Skete. Do yon need any yourself?" "N—o, Miss Nora, bnt—but I reckon he keeps it under de bed.” “Certainly, that is hia custom.

As the clock stri.ck ten she arose, and, hoi feeling a >y desire for sleep, threw herself down on the bed without disrobing and gave herself up to fancies. In half an hour thereafter sho was sound asleep How long she slept she never know; she awoke with a sense of suffocation aud found herself surrounded by fire. With a cry of horror, she sprang from the bod,'•flung. open her window, and threw herself wildly down on the ground below. Fortunately the win­ dow waa only a few feet from the ground. Her first thought waa of her father, but, alaa. it was too late! his room was already one mass of flames. “Father! lather!" she shrieked, wildly. “State! oh, Skete 1 where aro you? Merciful Heavens! am I all alone? Have all periahed but me?" Then a sound of horse's hoofs broke upon ber ear. Help was coming, but, alas, alas! sho felt that it would be too late to assist her father. “Oh, my God! this is horrible, hor­ rible! Why did I not awaken sooner! Perhaps they have escaped.” ■ Just then the roof of the building fell in with a crash, nnd poor little Nora sank down in a dead faint When she opened her eyes she found herself blipported by a young man who With a cry of horror the aprany from the bed.

There seems to ta a very strong senti­ ment in favor of restricting immigration, •nd half n dozen or more bills have been introduced bito tbe Senate for that pur­ pose. nearly Ml of them being in tbo lino as that proposed by Senator Palmer. Among others was one from Mr. Farwell, of Illinois, whi.-b provides that every im­ migrant coming to tbe United States, be­ fore he is allowed to land, shall produ e a certificate of good character from the United .States Consul of tbe district from which ho comes, os evidence to show that be ia capable of self-support. It looks very much as if some such bill would be­ come a law nt this session, aud it is cer­ tain to bo passed by the Senate, although it wilt meet with greater opposition in tho House. MR. FARWELL’S BASK BILL Mr. Farwell has introduced a bill, which has already been published and widely commented on, authorizing national banks to deposit railway, State and municipal bonds instead of United States bonds to secure their circulation. Speaking of this bill and the criticism upon it, Mr. Farwell said that he believed it proposed tbo only “method by which tho country can havo a circulating medium after tbo payment of the public debt, and that tbe tafeguards thrown around the bill are unquestionably sufficient, because the committee to pass upon tbe bonds furnished aa a aecurity for circulation will consist of the Secretary of tho Treasury, the Treasurer of tbe United States and the Comptroller of the Cur­ rency." Mr. Farwell baa also introduced a bill to remove the tax on oleomargarine nnd to require tbo manufacturers of that article to place upon every package a label showing its character. Mr. Farwell introduced another bill to repeal the tax upon domestic and tbe duty tipoh imported tobacco; also to repeal the duty ou sugar aud give a bounty of 1-5 to 2-5 cents per pound on cano and beet sugar manufactured in tbo United States. Another bill introduced by Mr. Farwell proridt-s for ti e recalling and recoining of the standard silver dollar into a coin con­ taining 541 grains. Tho holders of silver bullion may baie it coined on tbe same terms that gold bullion is now coined. TO distribute the surplus. Senator Aldrich, of Rhode Island, has introduced a very important financial meas­ ure, which is tbe result of several confer­ ences between tbe Secretary of the Treas­ ury and himself. This bill is intended to distribute the surplus in the Treasury, and gives tho Secretary absolute authority to expend tho surplus both by the purchase of United States bonds at market nites and by the anticipation of interest on bonds at any time. With such outbority oa this tbo Secretary of tho Treasury would be able to relievo any stringency in tbe financial mar­ ket by opening tbe doors of the cash-room. KUOENE HIGGINS WILL GO.

Another reason why be had not resigned before was that he wm being assailed on all aides, and he could not bring himself to retreat under fire.

[CHICAGO CORRESPONDENCE.] Robert Carruthers, tbe famous pitcher of tbe Browns, has returned to Chicago from Si. Loaii, but at last accounts had yet not signed a contract to pilch for Brooklyn next aeasou. When asked by a Chicago im­ porter, however, which club he would probably plav with next season he said: "I think with Brooklyn." "Would you rather go there than to Cin­ cinnati?” » "No. My preference ia Cincinnati, but Von der Abo will not release me to Cin­ cinnati." ■ “How do you know?" "He told me ao. He said that ha would refnso any offer Cincinnati might make, and that $20,000 would be no inducement." "Then you will go to Brooklyn?" “Yes. I think 1 will sign there within tbo next three days. I would have signed tn BL Louis had it not been for my moth­ er's strenuous objections, and I. of course, could not disregard her wishes.” “Why does she object to your going to Brooklyn?" "I guess she thinks the company down there i*» a little too fast tor my health. You know 1 am far from strong," said Bob, with a grin. "Vonder Abo won't have much of a team left, will he?" “Ob, yes. He showed mo a list of the then that be expected would make up his regulaf team next year. They are King, Hudson, Kuouff and Devlin as pitchers; MiBigau and Boyle, catcbeis; Comiskey, Nicbulsou and Latham on bases; Robinson at short; O'Neil, Mann and Holliday in the outfield. Then he has two or three good new men." “What show will St. Louis have next ’season?” “Not the walk-over we had this year. If I could go down to Cincinnati 1 think Mullane, Smith and myself conld do our share toward making tbo rest of them hustle to keep up with Cincinnati. But I guess I won't be there. If Byrne sticks to tho $5,000, Von der Aho sticks to his expressed determination not to let mu play in Cin­ cinnati, und my mother gives t.er consent to my going East, 1 will put my name to a Brooklyn contract before many hours." A question of growing importance among proieuioual baao-baU clubs is that of socuring good and capable umpires. It is being demonstrated more nnd more every year that tho smooth progress of a game depends more upon tbe manner in which an umpire renders his decisions aud en­ forces tbe rules than upon any one else connected with tbo game. Several base­ ball men were discussing this question the other day in Spalding's Chicago store, and among thorn was Harry Palmer, tho Chi­ cago base-ball writer. “Tho position of an umpire," said Palmer, “in a championship game between clubs of such reputation ana importance as that enjoyed by hose of either of tbe big organizations is without doubt tho moat important to bo filled upon c ball field. A competent mon can handle almost any class or grade of players in such manner as will insure the smooth progress of the gome, while an incompetent, rattle­ headed, or unscrupulous mm can create chaon, disorder, and disgraceful quarrels “Ono thing that makes me hot," con­ tinued Paliuer, is tbe failure of club man­ agers to back up and sustain tho action of umpires in demanding respect from play­ ers and enforcing the rules ujfon the field. I believe that there was many a fine im­ posed Inst year which was never collected or beard from afterward. A player who receives a high salary nnd plays an impor­ tant position may gel tbe big head, for in­ stance, and once be attains that degree of mental deformity it is safe to bet that be uqver loses an opportunity to bluster and bully and make a spectacle of himself for tbe benefit of the grand stand—and. I may add for tho information of these fellows— much to tbe disgust at the grand stand. ‘Me?’ he will say to the umpire; ‘Me? Jess wait till do game ia over, cull, an* 1’11 set­ tle wid you.* Now, if I was :.n umpire, I would fine n man so fast nnd heavy that ho would hhut up aud crawl'back to his position with mighty little of his blaster left it he gave me any such talk as that. Moro than that. I would tell the club manage­ ment that if they did not sustain mo in my action they conld have tny resignation, and after that I would lose no time after the game in hunting up my man and giv­ ing him all tbe chance ho wanted to ‘settle wid me.' I am in favor of giving tbo um­ pire absolute control upon a ball-tieId. Let there be no appeal from their decisions by any man on either aide—captain, or ony ono else. Make it compulsory for the um­ pire to fine a man not less than $10 nor more than $25 for questioning a decision, and put it out of the power of the club to remit that fine, save where it can be proved beyond all doubt that it bad been unjustly administered. Of course, any player would have the right to appeal and the right to de­ mand investigation, alter the game was fin­ ished, but under no circumstances should he be permitted to open his lips in protest of a decision while a game is in progress." The firm of A. iff. Spalding & Bros, last week gave the largest order for bicycles ever given by any house in America. Their order was for 1,500 Victor bicycles, valued at $195,000. Chicago is to have the wealthiest and touiest totaggau club in this country or Canada. A party of millionaires have just organized the "Onaway Tdboggau Club," and will erect a magnificent private club slide near the north end of Lincoln Park. The slide will be the finest ever built in America, and will be 1.50U feet long, with handsome club-houses, lookout-houses, and waiting-rooms adjoining. Thr.e hun­ dred members will be admitted. Tbe club costumes will be csiieciolly rich in' de­ sign and color, and the famous "Star" to­ boggan w ill bo used. The Troy Club, of which so much h; ■ been written recently, baa been regularly admitted to membership in the Interna­ tional Association. Mr. Howiit, of tbe Washingtons, states ho is largely intoicsted in the Troy Club, aud proposes to make it a training iicbool or feeder for the Wash­ ingtons. I’mpire Phil Powers baa written a letter io President Young declining to officiate as a League umpire next season. Powers states that be is pleaxantly situated in Lon­ don, Ontario, and that be will manage an In­ ternational League Club there.

He closes by wishing that tbe League staff may be n men. who will do all in their mote the national game. Lr is well that some people study carefully the laws of punctuation.

As tbe sun was creeping behind the mountains tho party entered a lovely valley, sheltered on every aide by toworing mountains. Hero a scene of novelty aud comfort greeted them. Tents were scattered about and chil­ dren were playing here and there. Lazy cattle and sheep nibbled the sreen grass along the mountain stream, and fires, over whi h swung kettles, were in.numerons places. Several dusky specimens of man­ kind lolled ab ut; some lour or fire approached them as they rode up. “We have come according to prom­ ise, Bald Eagle. Fave the other par­ tice arrived yet?" exclaimed Jim “I am not prepared to asy, positively; but this night’s work shall be ferreted out. I as-mr* you, dear Mias Fairleigh, and your father’s cowardly murderers brought to justice. Don't look so white; '— ready for our journey. Shall I help you to mount?" Just as the storm broke in all its fury Nora entered tho hotel and was tenderly led to her room by one of the maids. ' An she parted from her new-found friend belaid, softly and kindly: “Rest for a Jew days; then, if I can Eagle replied in excellent English: "Yes, they have been waiting tho coming of their white brothers long." “The ranch is many miles off, or CHAPIKR IL VER tho prairie Ixwept a party of (mounted men, the ^continual beat of their horses' feet sounding keenly on the almost pulseless air.

If yon don’t we’il sot yon up fur a shooting mark. Do you hear what I say?" "Y—e—s, boss.” “Then see that you keep quiet an' urge that lazy critter into a brisker gallop. We’ve got many miles before us that must be gone over before dawn." Skete—for it wm ho—turned one long, despairing glance over his shoul­ der in the direction from whence a small bright light appeared far in the east, which his tortured mind realized was the still burning ranch of his old master—his loved, betrayed master, that ho had served so long and well until now. Yet he had little imagined that tho band of desperadoes had other intentions than robbery when he, in unwilling terror, opened the door for their admittance. Not until compelled to mount and accompany them, riTTd when more than a rai.e away, did he perceive the raging flames of the ranch and surrounding buildings that wore of a nature to be set on fire. Then hi< awakened senses began to realize the enormity of his work, and ho moaned in anguish. But even now the voice of Jim Gregory could strike terror to his timid heart, for ho knew that to “make a shooting mark" of a poor old darky would bo a amalMoffair to him. The mystery was that he hadn’t dispatched him ere this; but Jim, the leader of that half-dozen desperate men, had' a reason for preserving Skete's black akin I nown only to himself. On they pressed, mile after mile be­ ing left tahind. Hkete had seldom been out of sight of his homo since he had lived in Nebraska, nevertheless ho felt pretty certain that thoir direction was northwest, aud that the stream of water they were never far from was the North Platte. The country was deso­ late in appearance; the muddy river, the numerous sand-hills, and tbe sparsely scattered bunches of buffalo grass were not calculated to inspire one with other than gloomy thoughts. Dawn broke at last,' and tho country was still barren in appearance. A brisk wind sent sand and dirt hither and thither in blinding confusion. A real, genuine Nebraska "blow" waa ^ipou them, and a real, genuine Western storm was not far off. •> “We must find shelter soon, or we will be caught in a storm of no small mag­ nitude. Thqje’s some friendly bluffs slight!v* to our west; let’s break for them, boys. Hurry up!” The tired ponies were urged once more, and the bluffs were readied in time to be a partial shelter from the ahai'p wind and cold, piercing rain. The threatened storm had broken at The storm lasted some five hours, when the clouds parted and the bright, cheerful sun smiled down over that farreaching plain.. The ponies were teth­ ered for a short time to allow them to eat a few mouthfuls of the buffalo' grass, and then their journey was re­ sumed once more. For Ywo days and nights they pressed forward as rapidly aa possible; then, when poor old Skete wsa beginning to a more broken country, with the grand old mountains in the distance. Skete felt a thrill of delight as his eyes beheld those lofty heights. Virginia, dear old Virginia, was re­ called so vividly that ba almost ex­ ger off, boys, let him supper. I dare say he i will go and report to Iron Dan at once. I bring him splen­ did news and we are all to be well paid.” The men were silent, but more than orfe face looked dissatisfied and as if in doubt as to their share of the spoils. Evidently Jim Gregory was on friendly terms with the Indians, for only a few gave him more than a pass­ ing glance as ho strode through their village. To tho right, in the shadow of a cluster of trees, with tall mountain pines reaching their dark green arms just beyond them, two men in the Western garb of buckskin and corduroy atily smoked thoir pipes. Tho darker and heavier leaped to his feet the mo­ ment he beheld the approach of Bald Eagle and his companion. "Ah! you have come! What suc­ cess?" “Good; wo ransacked tho ranch,stopped old Fairleigh's disturbed dreams with a knife, sot the whole she­ bang on fire, and here we are. Here's the money and the papers—all we could find." “You are sure ho is—dead?" “Very sure; you made a special point of that in your orders,” brutally. “Yes; nothing could be accomplished whilo he lived ;-but the girl, what of her; you didn't kill her, also?” Jim Gregory shrugged his shoulders and laughed heartlessly. “No; that is, we gave her a chance for her life. Wo merely set the ranch ! on Are, left her sweetly sleeping, and skedaddled with the old nigger, as you requested." . "Then she may have perished------- ” "Don't think' it’s likely; too many cowboys around over tho country. Some ono ou ’em got there in time to pull her out." " I had no desire for her death; she conld not interfere with my plana— yes, these papers ate all right—you have succeeded well; the money you Fes, these papers are all right.' can have for your share, and Ned's here, and the other boys; divide it be­ tween you." “Have you no further orders, Cap­ tain?'' “Not at this moment. I want to think a while; in the morning I will have other work ready, no doubt" The men drew off, leaving Iron Dan alone with his thoughts. His dark, evil face glowed with an exultant joy as he examined the paiiers he held. “All!” he muttered, “at last, fair cousin; at last wo are even. The trump cards are in my hands now. You sent me to the devil, and made me wliat I am. Now, my time has come. What delight it will be to tell you how he perished and that all his vast wealth is mine!” CHAP1EB HL ci/k.

Mr. Lee Swift, a tall, stylish, elderly gentleman, with on exceedingly cold foce and manner, mado his appearance that evening. "You sent for me. Miss Fairleigh.

I only heard of it at noon." “I thought you were papa’s friend, and ! k..ew no one------- " . “Ab, yes. poor man!” “Have you heard anything posi­ tively?" For the first time the man’s face showed something of pity. "Yea, they found the bonce of ono man—and something—some knife or watch—tho latter.believe, that two of tbe cowboys identified as your father's." “I hen lie is dead,” she sobbed, “and —and Skete?" “He must have escaped; the jcys say he was an arrant coward; he fled in terror no doubt, and is biding iu tho plains.” Nora shook her head slightly. “Yes, he was a coward, nut he loved papa and I too well to desert us wholly; if he escaped he will return to me liefore many days. I wish, Mr. Swift, you would make some efforts to dis­ cover who those cowardly robbewc aud murderers were. Papa'certainly It-ft considerable property and—and I would wish n big reward offered. ” "By all means. Miss Fairleigh, I will do whatever you wish.

Nora ordered him shown up at once. She received him in her private par­ lor, and as the dark-browed man first beheld her face ho started back and turned slightly pale;onlyjiis own heart knew who it was her face recalled, but the next moment he was himself again, cold, cruel, desperate, and revengeful. “Mias Fairleigh, I presume. ” Nora bowed and replied: “Be seated. was the first to 7 ] approach with words of comfort “If you please, Miss.’’ he said, kindly, “my horse is here, quite nafe, I assure' you, and I can obtain another and will' gladly escort you to North Platte; for you can not remain here; the fire has made a waste of everything, The man took the chair opposite her and there is a storm gathering that will with easy grace, and his bold, black break by dawn, if not sooner.

Talcott, of ChiL s""^cago, in speaking of a'^ Jn. *be military experi[y <7) ence which brought him in contact with thocommander,“had tho memory, waa tlie most letel**■ headed and quiet, and tho ableabman I ever met" 'During the close of the operations about Richmond Captain Talcott was in charge of the engineer depot at the Bermuda Hundreds, from which the wants of the great vise which was slowly closed upon Lee by Grant were.supplied, and his position brought him ih constant contact both with headquarters and tho General Like every other man whom I have ever met who had comO in contact with General Grant in action, he was impressed with tho extraordinarily quick percep­ tion with which ho seized every in­ cident. “While I was on General Foster's staff," said Captain Talcott, “General Grant once came to our line with his staff, and we all stood on a little knoll opposite which was a Confederate bat­ tery, the number of whose guns Gen­ eral Grant wanted to find out, in order to learn what it would cost to take it Instead of leaving a staff officer to count the flashes of the guns, as al­ most any other man would have done, he stood on the knoll and began watch­ ing them. Of course, as soon as be stepped there General Foster went there, Grant's personal staff followed him and General Foster’s personal staff stepped alongside of their com­ mander. This made the prettiest mark you ever saw. We were near enough for tho battery to see that wo were offi­ cers. It wos’a large group of officers, and while the shells wore going over Grant’s hood when he stepped there, it was not very long before they began to get the range, and pretty soon a shall struck the ground > and threw sand all over us. By this time Rawlins, who was always anxious over his chief, said; “ ‘General, this is too exposed a po­ sition for you to stand in.’ “ ‘Well,’ said Grant, without taking the agar out of his teeth or turning his head as he watched the flashes, ‘if you don’t like it yon had better get down under the knolh’ “Gen. Rawlins did not move, and another shell reminded everybody that the battery was getting the range very closely. * You gentlemen,’ sa d Grant, again without turning, ‘ have nothing to do up hero and I guess you had better get under cover at onoe.' And. waiting a moment longer unt.l he had settled tho number of the battery to his satisfaction. Grant went back alone to the shelter of the knolh “At another time, in the closing op­ erations around Petersburg, it happen­ ed that I was with the Tenth Corns, General Terry's, which was in action with its right resting on General Hod­ cock’s, tho Second. Between ths two ran a deep ravine, at the head of which was a Confederate battery, and as the fire of the battery commanded the ra­ vine the entire length, it bad not been considered possible for the troops to stand at the bottom of the ravine un­ der fro. General Grant rode up and said to General Terry: ‘What does this mean? Why aren’t these lines connected ? They will sweep right in here and turn you right and left’ General Terry explained the circum­ stances at some length, but Grant, who had been watching the ravine, in­ terrupted him to nay, ‘What troops have Vou got here ?’ “ ‘The One-hundredth New York,’ zaid General Terry. " ‘Colonel Dandy'a. regiment. Bend him hare,' said Grant. Now Dandy was a West-Pointer and a whooper. He rode up and saluted aa General Grant said: “ ‘I want you to take your regiment down and connect these linos in that ravine.’ Colonel Dandy saluted again, with, ‘Certainly, sir,’ formed his regi­ ment as if he waa going out on dress parade, colors in tho center, and swung down into the ravins under fire of the battery, and when the work waa over rode back, with another salute. “ 'The lines are connected, sir!’ “‘How many men did you lose?’ asked General Grant “ 'None, sir,’ said Colonel Dandy. "‘I thought so,’ replied General Grant “And then everv one saw what Grant had seen as he rode up and looked over the field—the twigs which were falling from the trees ender the fire of shot and shell from the Confederate battery only oame from ths top branches. The battery waa firing over the ravine, and the men once marched into its bed were as safe there aa anywhere in the line. _ ▲ Asm. A- fow years bWore the war, writes Herbert J.

If every tom]M*n*nce man, every lover of moral­ ity. aobrtety and good order do their duty we have no fear ot tbe result. Tbe problem of dealing with the liquor traffic is a knotty one, and the achemt« devined for controlling and throttling it are many and varied. But of all tbe propositions advanced Tut News is inelined to believe that local option is the most sensible. Prohibi­ tion will not prohibit in communities where the majority of tbe voters think more of their “toddy” and the saloonkeepei than they do of principle—where is lacking a constituency to “back-np” and enforce the laws against tbe illicit peddler, who is m sure to put in an ap­ pearance in such communities as the sun is to nae to-morrow. • Local option gives prohibition only to temperance communities. Barry county, thank God, is prohibition by a large majority and will enforce the local option laws. It is probable that there will be some -clandestino liquor selling iy Barry county after the local option law goes into effect, but utterly impossible that so much would be drank as is now drank over the bars of our licensed sa­ loons. The removal of the saloon might not take away the cup from tbe wealthy and the Aristocratic, but it would remove temptation from tbe poor laboring man, restore the bloom to the faded cheek of his wife aud put bread.in the mouths of bis little child- Michigan Central * of it.

Lay of the Minstrel Sad was the song the minstrel sung, in the light of the waning moon, and his voice was cracked and ids knees were sprung, nnd his eyes far out of their socket hung, and he howled a dirge in a foreign, tongue, nnd his lyre was out of tune. I softly unchained tho brindle dog, and loaded tho old shotgun; while ho scraped his lyre in the damp and fog, nnd sung of a fairy who drove n frog, and held a court in a somber beg, by the light of a mid­ night sun. “No fairies for me," I softly said, ”so singer, you’ll change your tune; you must sing a ballad of death instead, of ghosts in purple and ghosts in red, of regions -where wander the phantom dead, and there are no stars or moon." He tuned his harp to a dis­ mal lay, that chilled nil the blood I owned, and he sung: “There is a land in the far away, where never is gleam­ ing the light of tho day, where the goblins damp and the specters stay, and tho wind with their shrieks u toned. Tho ghost of the pallid dude is there, bereft of its gilded cone; it ha* no oil for its yellow hair, it has no glasses to eye the* fair, and it can not stand on the street •and stare, so the dude is bowed in pain. The dude is chained to a sLl-eyed ghost that used to bo wild for gore, that followed the teaching of Spies and Most, and tried the law and tbe courts to roast, and wo* inter strung to n towering post, and clamored for blood no more." I loosed tbe deg on the minstrel there, and I fired my gun in tho damp; and pieces of harp flew* in the air, and stogy boot* and wads of hair, and all that was left of the minstrel fair was rolled in a postage stamp.—Lincoln Jour­ nal.

A Japanese Temple. , A Japan*** delights in nothing more i than a grove of venerable trees grouped. ; about an ancient temple, within whose ! dimly lit recesse* sit the gilded images of their hero-worship, I say hero-wor­ ship, for a large majority of the temples exist as xeo laments of priests of long ago, who, having brought sacred relics from China or India, and built ahrinse, lived ascetir lives, and after death were apotheoriaed. Starting early one morning from the Yaami Hotel, Koois, a delightful place overlooking tha whole city, I direct my jinriksha boy to take me to the temple of Jfenninjx. I^t the description of the general feat­ ure* of thia temple suffice for all, for they all have certain features in com­ mon. You enter from the street through a high arch of wood mode of two immense upright pillars and a crow piece, which curves down instead of up, and which extends far beyond the uprights. You ascend several flights of stone steps, sometimes pass­ ing between stone images aud shrines and stone lanterns, until you reach tha platform on which the "temple proper stands. Heae you remove your shoes, aad jierbaps a pair of slippers will ba provided you. You ascend the short flight of, step* immediately in front of the temple, and find yourself in a sort of wide porch extending along the whole front of the edi­ fice and upheld by several rows of mas­ sive wooden pillars. Behind these is a row of large paneled doors, also ex­ tending clear acroes the building, bat vou will find only the middle two open. Within you encounter other rows of p.'llars upholding the roof, and behind these in tho exact center sits tho image, surrounded with tho censers and para­ phernalia of the priesti, and with what­ ever attendant images there may hap­ pen to be. Near approach is prevented by a wooden railing. A wooden box stands in front of each image. It is furnished with wooden slats acrots the top, and into it are thrown the offer­ ings of tho worshipers. The grounds of the Kenninji aro beautifully laid out in lawns and walks. In tbo eastern part of the grounds hangs an old bell, which for manv years lay in the river bed, buried in debris. It is said that Ye Sai, an eminent priest, attempted to have it recovered, bnt the men were unable to move it till he cried to them to shout his name, when, of course, it immediately became manageable.— Corresitondence New Orleans TimesDemocrat. One of Napoleon’s Marshals. Brune, one- of Napoleon’s Marshals, was mode a soldier by the sneer of a witty actress. He had written a pamShlet on military operations, nnd one sy nt Danton's dinner-table it waa mentioned, and the actress said, mock­ ingly, to him: “You will be a General, since you fight with a pen.” Stung to the quick, he applied for a commission and entered the army as a major. The witty actress, having wagged her pert tongue at Kotaspierre, was sent to tho guillotine. In the army Brane showed that will Kwor can conquer natural nervousness. his first battle he suffered from the sight of blood aud the noise of cannon­ ading. Eyery discharge of a field piece gave him such a shock in the pit of tha stomach that he would have bent dou­ ble with pain but for his will, which gave him power to stiffen his legs in tho stirrups and throw his body back. When the battle was over his muscles remained paralyzed for houra on ac­ count of the tension to which they hod been subjected. He hod a quick temper, which he mastered after many trials. While Governor of the Hansa towns he gave certain orders which ware not obeyed by the Burgomaster of Hamburg. The official sought tho Marshal and began a long explanation. Now and then Brane, without saying a word, poured himself out a glass ot water and drank it At last the burgomaster, pausing, stretched out his hand for the decantar and said: “Will you allow me?” “Hold!" exclaimed Brnne; “we had better ring for a fresh supply. I always pour down water when I feel a fire riaing which might explode." Brune was massacred by a royalist mob, after Waterloo. “Shout ‘Live the King!*" said the mob. He refused. “Shout ‘ Down with the Emperor I ’ * called out the mob. “The Emperor is low enough now; this is not the time a hen l ean say aught against him,” was the spirited The enraged rioters answered this noble rejoinder by striking him on the head with a shatter. He fell on one knee, exclaiming: “To have escaped a hundred deaths for this!” He was then killed by pistol shots— Youth's Companion. The Kind of Revolvers Used Oat West. In the West every weapon except one of these little niokel-plated .22 or .32 calibers, with a two-inch barrel, that will scarcely hit a cow at ten paces, is designated by tho title ol “gun” by those who use them most, whether for self-protection against men who attempt to ‘‘hold you up" or for game.

When carefully saved, twenty-five pouuds will furniah •uflident to manure an acre ot <*oni, producing an effect equal to that of the best commercial fertilizer. Poultry manure is identical in .-.ction with gnano. both being very rich in ammonia, and tl ereforu powerful plant stimulants. For this reason it is not safe to use the droppings without first mixing tbetu with other sub-t mces, such us pul­ verized clay, diy loam, or land plaster. Tbe plan for saving them commonly adopt­ ed in New England is a good one. It is to have a platform of hoards under the roof on which Abey collect, and from which they are gathered daily or weekly and preserved dry in barrel* or bins until de­ sired for use.

" [Xejr York eerreepcadenoe.’ Ignorant masculine eyes' will see nothing in particular about tho piece of millinery here shown, but feminine sight will at once discover that it is novel, for it is about half way between a hat and a 'bonnet It has the shape of the former and tbe strings of the latter. Therefore it is a noud’eacript and very useful, because a woman can wear it on occasions when she is in doubt whether a hat or a bonnet is most appropriate. The crown is round and low; the peak . four and threefourths inches wide in front, bordered at the edge with a stripe two and threefourths Miches wide, of green velvet, shot with red satin-backed ribbon two and one-half inches wide, the color of the velvet, that is slung round the crown,' tied in u bow in front, and arranged nt the back edge of tho crown in three loops, hiding tho place whore the strings are sown on. Five short black ostrich feathers fall toward the back, and a fancy arrangement of cocks* feathers, with two wings at tho side, start from beneath the strings. As millinery news it may bo said that com­ binations of black and white and black and other colors find favor this season, and there are more black velvet and lace bonnets worn for dress bonnets than for several seasons past. A few small birds aro used on dress bonnets. Mil­ liners generally prefer birds from cold countries whore tho plumage is fuller, though it is not as briiliont in color as that of birds taken from tropical lands, bo the birds in high latitudes should fly high for safety. Few ribbon ties are seen on bonnets, and the stiff bow aud ends are never seen; the strings ore arranged closely at the side in various styles. Tho majority of the bonnets AX INGENIOUS HAT-DONLET. are finished with made strings of vel­ vet, which may be twisted and pinned closely under the chin. There are some exceedingly leintiiul littje bon­ nets made of fine steal cloth,'finished with a velvet brim and trimmed with a largo soft aash-bow of white moire ribbon, a simple white aigrette and a steel and a silver quill. "White felts are finished with soft brims of black velvet and bows of white moil e ribbon, which form a huge soft knot nearly con­ cealing the crown. Dainty bonnets of white felt are braided with goldenbrown soutache, and trimmed with a full cluster of brown cowslips. A brim of golden-brown velvet and short *ma*lo" ties of the velvet, which are simply twisted under tbe chin by tho wearer and pinned closely at each’ side with bonnet pins, complete the pretty thing. In order to illustrate, on the author­ ity of a well-known fashionable name, an approved ball toilet for the winter of tbe writer has obtained from the New York maker a photograph of the dress worn of Mra. J^rrne Wilson, a married daughter of Mrs. William As­ tor, nt a recent Delmonico ball. It is accurately reproduced in the engrav­ ing, which gives tbe outlines ao clearly that no description of them re­ mains necessary. Much of the gow£ is made of ivory-wliite wool barege, so soft and fine it could be pulled through n ring, the silk foundation only appear­ ing at the right side ot the skirt, where the monotony is broken by a pleated Enel of rich ivory faille. The emIlishments are lice and embroidery. There is a tendency among extremely swell dresses in Xrotham. however, toward a flowing looseness of robes. A novel effect is produced in one such dress by a classic drapery of gaxe de chine arranged over a petticoat formed of white embroidered not, crossed by wide bands of white moire ribbon placed so as to form diamonds. The drapery is loosely tied at one side, and terminates in purse ends, gar­ nished with pearl tassels. The effect produced from the different whites is very good, the dress looking charming as the light falls on lace and watered ribbon and soft, shimmering silk. All tho draperies of this dress would de­ light an artist, for the material is soft and yielding, and is allowed to fall into natural folds. Moreover, this new de­ parture in fashion has economy on its side, for young ladies will find a dress of these soft silky materials wear much longer ‘than the tulle dresses, which lose their beauty in an evening. Al­ though tulle is somewhat losing favor, the fact of its being extremely becom­ ing causes it to be frequently adopted. A pretty tulle drees is made of alter­ nate layers of pink and gray, a novel effect being gained through the intro­ duction of trimmings of narrow gray MODEL EVENING DI1EHS.

This revelation lost her a lover. But I don't suppose she will miss him from tho gang, and aho certainly had fun with him while he lasted. The cold question fur fashionable women to settle is, each for herself, whether she will sacrifice comfort for beauty, and if so. how much. Close­ fitting sealskin sacqucs, with sleeves reaching to the wrist, aro perfect gar­ ments for warmth in any latitude; but sealskin, despite its expensivenesa. has become rather common, for the reason that many a woman will deprive her­ belf of many other luxuries for the soke of wearing it Besides, it has a plebeian sort of durability, which is no merit in the eyes of tho extravagantly fastidi­ ous. As much or more money can be nut into such a wrau ns either of these here illustrated, and composed of vel­ vet, plush and trimmings of fur, aa would be required for u sdklskin of equally enveloping length. Moreover, these exquisitely artistic cloaks are too susceptible of injury by exposure in bad weather, and so pronounced in style, that tho wealthy owners like to dis­ card them at the end of one senson. The open, drooping sleeves, or wings, of such wraps do not keep out the cold very well, although they are so picturo-que and so suggestive of warmth. They are unobjectionable on that score in lower latitudes, but correspondingly objectionable away north. ■ What are called opera cloaks are still more pro­ nounced and fantastic in material. Brocades of beautiful but loud patterns eomjxwe them, the shapes are apt to be striking for street wear, and the fur which over-edges them is white or very light. They can lie properly worn only in the evening at drossy social gather­ ings or at tbe more pretentious theat­ rical shows.

The coiunritt.-* on tbe growth of the order reported that the rapid growth of the order resulted from the first avowed purpose of the federation to allow each trade to govern itself; second, to the dis­ content of lhe Knights of Labor. Tho committee recommended, by reason of the mismanagement of tho Lnigbts of Labor, and their desperate use of atrikes. that the federation use its utmost endeavor to re­ sist the encroachments of the Knights of Labor, as that organization showed itself opposed to trades unionism.

But now it ia different It is certainly bad enough when a man, out of inherent lazineae or downright ctlMedneM, won’t work, but when he is of an industrious turn, wants wor?, and more than that, needs it to enable him to food and clothe the loved ones who are dependent upon him, thou, I say, no greater curse cou’d befall him. In my younger days a fellow who wanted work, and wasn’t too parti, nlar what ho did, in the way of honest la­ bor, wan never idle. It was not until I hud been a man grown that I began to find out that there were thousands of fellows all over this country out of employment, and no work to be had of anv kind, to enable them to keep soul and body together. Can yon imagine anything -more discouraging than a hard day’s tramp from place to place, without a penny in your poci'.et, lag­ ging for work enough to procure a moal and a bed. and at nightfall to find that yon are the owner of nothing but a vo­ racious appetite, «o imperative and un­ relenting in ita demands that you are tempted to rob, steal, or even to com­ mit murder, and al! in self-defense? Pretty black picture, isn’t it? Yes; but not overdrawn. When a man asks for alms outright, then it ia right and proper to investi­ gate his case and to see whether he is .not a deserving object of charity. If ho so proves, then those of a philan­ thropic turn not on-ly relieve his pres­ ent needs, but take ateps to give perniaiieut aid, such nx helping him to employment whereby he may become self-supporting and remain no longer a charge on the community. B.ut when a man comes along taking for work it is different It is at-once con­ ceded that a man who wants to work ought to be permitted to do eo. He ia not asking charity, but employment. Bui many times it would save him ask­ ing for bread or for money to buy a night’s lodging, if those whom he asks for work would do something to help him to obtain it. Ask him a few questions us to what lie wants to do, what ho can do. what he is willing to do, and then think for a minute, if there is not some place to which ho ean be directed where he is likely to obtain that for which he is seeking. Some men aro very easily disheartened, especially when they are looting for work, but still, even on inch, a little of the milk of human kindness is not wasted. I have often thought that Holland's idea of charity was a good one. He said: “Build churches, school-houses, and work­ shops, but give no man a dollar in charity, except as you giro him labor by which he may honestly earn it" (if course this rule does not apply to the sick and helpless, but only to the able-bodied applicant for some small change. So my advice, George, is always to help a fellow to find work: he cun accept such a favor without saerificing his self-respect. But a man wbo can uc- opt a penny in£he way of chanty, and with no thought of rcI aying, has taken ths forst step to lie-; come a lieggar, if he is not, indeed, already a professional mendicant.

It is generally supposed that pneu­ monia is due to the accidental penetra­ tion of specific microbes into the sys­ tem, but. the observations of M. Jaccouu, a French student of the subject, show that the disease really results from the development, under favorable conditions, of microbic germs perma­ nently present in the system. A chief condition of such development is a sud­ den chill, which explains the frequent coincidence of lung affections with ab­ rupt changes of temperature. Soudanese Maniogc Dunce. The festivities that accompany a marriage in the tioudan have much of tho character of a public entertain­ ment, but most especially in tlie terpsichorean department of tlie same. As in more civilized communities, the ladies take a special delight in moving their feet to the sound of music, but, the music in these equatorial regions'* is very harsh to the European ear. as might lie expected, uonsisting as it> does of ••tuinining’’ on a drum (kid-skin stretched over a copper vessel) and a few twanging notes on a harp-like in­ strument, more pleasing to the eye than to the ear, as it is decorated with bands of beads and with feathers. Time being all-important to the dan­ cers, this is made more marked by one of the latter, who wears a girdle from which.innumerable cowrie shells are suspended, and which clash together violently in. the man sways his body from side to side. Men and women both chant a few monotonous bars, the ladies occasionally varying the sound with a shrill screediing. Tho dancing is also of the simplest description, the performers stainping the ground with their feet and clapping their hands, tho women being arnuiged together in ranks, whilst lhe men, of whom only three or four dance together at tbe same time, caper about in a small open space left for them. Endurance seems to be the object of all, but more espe­ cially on the part of the men, who also attempt to outvie each other in saying funny things, in which no doubt some of them succeed, judging by the laugh­ ter they create amongst on-lookers and performers alike. Undex tlie hot des­ ert sun one can easily imagine that tho perspiration is free, and the atmos­ phere in the small circle not exceed­ ingly wholesome, nevertheless there is a woman (sometimes more than one) with her garments drawn over her head, who, kneeling on the heated earth in tlie humblest poeture, sways backward and forward, with her face apparently resting in tlie dust. I was told this was the wife, but I think that is doubtful, from what is generally related of tne seclusive habits of tlie Arabs, but it is, at any rate, truly symbolical of the position of tlie fe­ male slave, styled a wife, amongst these fanatical savages.

My wife, with more color in her face than I like to see, said: “I’D see who this woman is.” and, picking up the pieces, she carried them to her room, aud at the end of an hour managed to get the letter together and read: “Dear Sir: As my son is going into tlie in­ surance neitt month, I shall hereafter place my business in hto hands.” Had it been wintci and I had thrown the letter into the fire I would not have txjcn able to square it withinc week.— New York �minutei i ghostly gray of n>- dawafog «» .

The stranger bowed, hud with a smile that spoke volumes, he continued: "I bring you unpleasant news, but when you set up claim to tho late Rich­ ard Fairleigh’s wealth as his daugh­ ter, it becomes my painful duty to in­ form you that you aro mistaken.

Miss Fairleigh, that your adopted father did not inform yo'u of these stern facts, or nt least make some provision for you, which I leoru he did not." As one stunned Nora listened to liis cruel words at the beginning, but as he proceeded in his merciless voice, some­ thing in her gentle nature awoke, and with a strength of which she never would have believed herself capable, she arose, and in a voice os cold and scornful os bis own, replied: “You come to me with your weak, manufactured story and, no doubt, deep-laid plans to rob me of my birth­ right and my fair and honorable name as well. You must produce proofs of all you affirm. I will listen to your words no further; go to my lawyer." The man laughed lightly; the pcorn in the flashing eyes of the young girl and her flushed cheeks only rendered her more 1 cautiful. A sudden resolve came into his cruel heart—a new desire. “There may be a compromise; under certain circumstances, I think there could be." The girl stepped back a few steps, hardly comprehending his meaning, but the feeling of repulsion toward him was great “Please, go,“ she said; “leave my presence." With a bow and smile he complied, and Nora sank bock in her chair, feel­ ing that another new calamity had fallen upon her. How was she to prove that his words were false; there was an easy assurance about tho mon that chilled her troubled heart. An hour later a messenger brought her a note from her lawver.

HEN Jim Gregory re­ turned to Iron Dan’s presence the following morning, ha received the o'der to take his . party and penetrate further into the moun­ tains to a well-known Jz resort ot their own. “There is nothing special I care for just at present, as 1 have a big thing on my own shoulders row.

And with meroiy a nod of hi* head, ' Iron Dan mounted hia beautiful racar. !

There is that la y Sketo! It is time we were on our way to Bataa's Roost" With that he sent forth a long, clear whistle that in a few minutes caused him to be,surrounded by his comrades. Skulking behind them stood the still frightened darky. The Indiana appeared quite carelees of the coming and going of their white brethren. But Iron Dan had for his own reasons been very kind and gen­ erous to them. He had brought them more than one fine horse, and several small herds of cattle and sheep, be­ sides many other presents, trifling in themselves, but dear to the Indian's heart., There wo* still another bond between tbo lawless band and tHemselves, they too were leagued against the white settlers—the Indian's bitterest and most encroaching enemies. Tho order to start for Satan’s Roost was given, and in less then a half hour the little party had begun their toil­ some, ]>crilouB march over tho moun­ tains. Sketo hadn’t the least idea a here they were going. His woolly head was all in a chaos inwardly, but ho was growing somewhat calmer now and was beginning to realize that he was not to be harmed if be obeyed the or­ ders of cruel Jim Gregory. Tho mountains themselves had a soothing influence. Skete felt quite at homo climbing up their stoop sides and winding around and in tho huge canyons. The pines were green and homelike, and.tho stray warblers made his heart beat faster and hia tongue longed to join in with their songs, if he had bnt dared. What was to become of him, how he was ever to escape from these mount­ ain fastnesses or out of Jim Gregory’s clutches, Sketo had not the faintest conception. That he would escape finally and seo his dear Miss Nora once more, his anxious, loving heart assured him. Sketo was bat a child after all, and the hand of oppression had made him submissive and gentle. The out­ rage that had been done, of which ho had been made an unwilling partici­ pant, had changed his careless nature into somethiug stronger aud braver. The sense of the great wrong—the fear­ ful crime committed—caused tho desire for escape to reveal tho treachery, to toko deep hold upon his simple nature. All day long they continued their toilsome journey cautiously and silently as possible, for there were hostile In­ dians that they had no desire to en­ counter. At nightfall they reached a sheltered volley, one of tbe loveliest imaginable, but different from the one where they had passed the night, a* this was in­ habited only by wild game that was tempted to its confines by the luxuri­ ant green grass and sparkling water of a mountain stream. On the side of tho mountain a large shelving ledge stood out boldly; far back under its dark depths the men broken, .mountainous oountry. Th» desolate prairie, wilh aearcelv'a show of vegetation, is before him. Sand htlia and wind—strange that tlie wind never gets tired, and. certainly if therein any country where it trie* itself, that couittry is Nebraska. Iron Dan is careloM of wind and sand. He has been too long accustomed to such small evils to hoed them now, when his mind is burdened with plans of great moment and magnitude, A fortune inch aa is not foundxn a day, or even many days, sometimes, lies just witbin his grasp. First, it was necessary to put Richard: Fairleigh on» of the way entirely; this bod been most successfully accomjilnbed, and liis papers, of land and titles, are a’ready in Iron Dan’s possession. “Hello 1 what’s that?” Iron Dan drew forth hi* powerful field-glass, an A at the word Black Joe Iron Dan drew forth his powrr^tU fleld________________ glaM.__________________ stood motionless. The objects that had arrested his at­ tention moved along slowly, a party ot mounted men from their dress un­ doubtedly Indians, and hostiies. “Indians, as I live] Hostiies, too, I believe. Well, old fellow, you way have a chance to show your mettle once more. You and I have left more than ono redskin to seek the happy hunting grounds, haven’t we, old fel­ low?" And Iron Dan caresses tho arch­ ed nock of his horse lovingly. "We try to conciliate tho noble red man whenever we can, but it happens in our ten years of the Itockies we have nr» formed all their acquaintance.” The party of some twenty or more mounted warriors came on directly to­ ward Don Dan. Evidently they had perceived him also. “Now, my beauty," said Iron Dad,, patting his horse’s head gently, “quiet­ ly mv pet, you are almost fresh and it ■will J>o mere play to gallop around that party of sneaking redskins.

Well, well, my pet, you can soon be free to show what stuff you're made of. Now for it!” Like tbo wind Black Joo shot out to the left, but at that instant the Indiana, with a terrific yell,'struck out to inter­ cept the intrepid solitary horseman. Only three of the party were mount­ ed on horses that could in any way aj»prooch tho magnificent creature rfdclon by Iron Dan and circling around them, as easily as a gust of wind. Iron Dsn smiled as he noted,thcthree that, by making a short cut, hail approached within easy shooting range. “So much tl»e worse for <you, my lads. Thanks to the-long practice aud. drill, Joo and I are ready for you.. Hero goes! Whoa!” It was no rocklees aim he took, hut cool and steady, his horse standingLke a block for< that instant; then, at the word, was off like a flash. The foremost Indian fell, and ins splendid maro galloped on endeavoring to overtake Black Joe. Iron Dan, perceiving this, whirled and fired again, once, twice, and tlie two others fell from their horses either dead or wounded. His eagle eye perceived tho re­ mainder of the pursuers were far in She rear, but pressing toward him at the best speed of their ponies. A whistle to the handsome mare and she was In­ side him. “It’s a bit risky, but you are worth it, you beauty. Now we arc off tor a race for life.

IN TRAINING TOR A DUEL A correspondent, while in con versa-1 tion with an old citizen of Macon beard ' of the following incident a* going to j prove th© cool sourage of tbe Woolfolk I family. “You have 'hfard, of course,” i liesuid, “of tbe famous Woolfolk-Camp i duel, which took place years ago, and { resulted in the killing of Camp, one of the moat noted duelists in the south. Camp waa a daring man, and had took part in several duels, always bringing down bia man. He waa a dead allot. was couaideied a dangerous man. and wasdomineering and insulting in hia manner. He waa the terror of every one. But finally he inaulUMi one of th© Woolfolks, who challenged Cainp, and tbe challenge waa’accepted. Friends interfered and tried to conciliate mat­ ters, believing that Woolfolk would surely be ki'led, but he waa a fearless man and very determined. He' was told by hia second that be would be killed. ‘I expect to be,’ waa the reply, ’but I’m determined that we both shall die.’ Hia friend induced him to take some lessons before facing such a dan geroua adversary. He took him out, stripped him to tbe waste and stepped bfl twenty ©r thirty nacea, the distance agreed upon for tn© duel, and they were to tire at each other after the word Three.’ Th© pistols were loaded with corks. His frieiul called out, ‘Fire! one, two, three 1’ “At the Word ‘fire’ hie friend fired l»« fore ho did. and Woolfolk Jumped into t:.e air, having been hit by th© cork. •You must learn to receive the cork with flinching,’ said his friend, ‘though it will leave a very painful bruise every time.’ Tho pisiote were again and again loaded, and each time Woolfolk waa hit, but ho never moved a muscle, but kept cool, and with steady aim he would fire after hia friend had shot and bit him. It whs understood that hiafriend should file first, aa it *b* !►©lieved impossible for him to shoot be­ fore Camp, and his only hope was to shoot and kill Camp after he had bwn shot. Il resulted just as Woolfolk’s friend had pl:uine«l it should result. -When the duel took place, at the word ‘three’ Camp sbottirat, his bullet pass­ ing through Woolfolk’s l»ody. Wool­ folks never moved. Taking a cool and deliberate aim he fired a second after Camp, ai d both fell to th© ground sim­ ultaneously. Camp was allot through the heart and killed instantlv. Wool­ folks was seriously wounded, but soon recovered. It was one of the uios*. des­ perate duels erer fought, and at th© time created a sensation throughout lhe country."

Taking a Battery. ITER tbe Confed­ erate batteries hod been unmasked they made it rather live­ ly for tho light bat­ teries of General Getty, for their guns were mosty of heavy caliber, such as had keenUk£° from th® Norfolk 5Tavy Yard, when it was captured by them. TLq artillery duel did not lostlong— it dia not pay on e.ther side. The in­ tended crossing bad been foiled, and that was enough for us. So General Getty drew off his guns at nightfall, audthepnemy appeared next day to have dohe the same. Not a gun, or even a Confederate picket, could be seen by daylight from our side of tho river. Masked by swamp and forest growth, they were tber« yet. however, as a night-scout in a canoe mode by tho writer soon after discovered. • In a pouring rain-6torm the writer dropped down the river from Suffolk in‘an old canoe, keeping close ou the western shore, listening tb every aound, keeping eyes open as well as ears. It was pitch dark, the river fairly boiled iu tho seething rain, and tho dip of my paddle could not have been heard a boat's length away. Xearlv three miles bud been covered, when the sound ot men's voices talk­ ing, in a low tone, and seeming to be very near, reached mo. To check the canoe by reaching the muddy bottom with along polo ! felt for in tbe bot­ tom of the boat, was my instantaneous action. Then a glimmer of light on the cy­ press trees on the swampy shore showed I was near a camp or guard­ tire. Careful not to touch an overhanging branch or to moke any noise, for I knew not how near I might be~to a sentinel, I pushed the canoe to the shore. Fortune favored me. I found by feeling, rather than seeing, that I was just under an old wood-wharf, wbcrev boats had landed to take off cord-wood, such as was used on the river steamboats that navigated the stream before tbe war. Pushing the boat in, I laid her alongside tbo laud under this wharf, and crept out on the bank after fasten­ ing her to a spile. Listening, 1 heard the tramp of u sentinel outside of me ou the wharf. Safe iu tho darkm.-ss, I crept higher up the bank, guided by the lights reflected on tbe trees, aud iu a few minutes found mj-aelf on an earth-work m tbe old woodysrd, look­ ing oyer into a camp of forty or fifty men just back of a battery of seven guns, all masked by bushoa, but cov­ ering the wharf where I landed and the river-front. The most of the men were asleep in shelter-tents, but a few under a canvas ■bed near the camp-fire were playing cards, despite the pelting rain. They were the night-guard without doubt These were talking and laughing in a I low tone, little dreaming that a Yank • was so near, anxious to know if | “spades" were trumps -just then. It took me about ten minutes to | study out*the landing—see what guns ' bore on tbo wharf, estimate the force by tbe number of shelte^tents, and then I backed off like a turtle on mv Dropping noiselessly down stream till 1 was deaf of danger, I paddled across to tbe other side of the river, landed and concealed my canoe, and made my way back on foot to onrTines at Suffolk. Reporting at headquarters that there was a battery left which might bo taken easily at night, by surprise aud sudden assault, and which would be a capture. Two nights after, the Eighty-ninth New York, Colonel England in com­ mand, was detailed for the work, and, with the writer as guide and pilot, started down the river at midnight in a small steamer to do the work. The night was dark, and the boat wag allowed to drift in silence until she waa actually abreast the old wharf. The men, with bayonets fixed, wgre ordered to remain in silence on her decks. . * When we were actually Abreast and close to the old wharf, then steam was given, aud in a minute more the boat as in st the landing, and with a cheer aiirituous liquors, or “commissary," as io boys called it, -writes Crowell in the National Tribune. It was my ob­ servation that although wfiile a citizen at homo ho waa usually temperate and law-abiding, yot ns n soldier no lawn, no orders, and no persuasion would prevent his risking a tour in "barrel armour,’’ a trick in the guard-house, or oven his life, to obtain some “commis■ary," ho holding, it to be self-evident that ho should have os much of it to drink as bis commanding officer, pro­ vided bo could carry it, and he nover hod any doubt of hia ability to do so. Too often the officer claimed tbe ex­ clusive privilege of drinking all the “commissary," and then tlie conse­ quences to tho private soldier going under flro were exceedingly disastrous. I know a Major of infantry who was a thoroughly drilled officer in tactics and regulations, who never could bring hia body to face the enemy in time of battle without having his skin full of whisky, and then his regiment fared badly. Hut a time camo when, suddenly thrown into battle, ho couldn’t*got a drop, nnd ho didnlt Ro..

Ho would steal away from camp at night and tramp twenty miles away to get “canned peaches.'’ Tho cap's really contained nothing but whisky, and woe to tho party* who had it and wouldn’t give him some.

Under it they lost their all, and to day they rcs}>ect the old stars and slopes as they never did before. Meeting on old Louisianian yesterday, the reasons why tbe ex-Con­ federates are to-dny eo patriotic was explained, and is more readily explanied by n remark of Jeff Davis’, made before the Mississippi Legislature at Jackson, nearly two fears after tbo war between tho States had begun, and which now goes into print for tho first time. As tlw gentleman remarked, it is a most curious thing that nono of the historians of the rebellion over got hold of it, or it they did it was not re­ corded. To liegiu with, the people of the States were led to believe that se­ cession was entirely a peaceable move­ ment. and after the first gun was fired they were still made to believe that the ‘•war-’ would be only a small affair; and although the great majority of the Southern people were at heart <Jpfiosed to secession, yet the political eaders wore strong enough to carry tlid proposition, and the people be^an to believe it was only their rights they were fighting for. Having gotten into it, however, they were de­ termined to fight it out, hence tho re­ marks of their chief above alluded to were calculated to encourage those who had voted for secession against their butter judgment In the course of Mr. Davis’ speech, at which were present os monv people as could be crowded into tFie legislative hall at Jackson, after telling them that while the war had unfortunately lasted longer than anticipated, and without attempt­ ing to predict when it would end, be said that when it did end he had no doubt it would end in the separate in­ dependence of the Confederate States. “But when ended,” said he, and my in­ formant gives os near as possible his exact words, “the South should look upon it only as a hollow truee, to l»e interrupted' at short intervals for a long penod of years by war; and thus ft becomes Southern statesmen to so legislate that tbe entire youth of tbe Confederacy—every boy when ho at­ tained the age of sixteen or seventeen years—should be required absolutely to give at least three years of his time to a regular military training. b'« that when these interruptions come we may be a nation of trained noldiers.” Had the great rank and file of tho Confederacy beard that proposition early in the war it would have speedily ended: but, as remarked by the gentle­ man who related the above, having gotten into tho trouble and been iu it for nearly two years they were willing to stay until its close, Loping against hoix) that it would not only end speed­ ily' but end as their chosen leader had predicted. __ murder unions ho was given enough to “lay him out."

Her thoughts were evidently not pleasant ones, for she sighed now and then, and glanced sadly out of tho window on tho glori­ ous autumn scene that stretched before her vision. A servant brought her a card, but no sooner did sho read the name than it dropped from her hand as if it had been a coal of fire. “Heavens!” she thought, “what brings him here? I suppose T must see him though; there is no escape." Very white and stately she appeared when tho door opened to admit the un­ desirable visitor. The gentleman that advanced to •• Oh, my God, how can I bear il! meet her, with a carriage and manner as haughty uml self-possessed as her own, was no other than Dun Le Fane. "Good-morning, fair cousin,"hesaid, blandly, with his dark, cruel eyes bent miarchingly upon her lovely f*i*e— which was beautiful still, notwith­ standing it betrayed traces of thirtyfit-o or six years.' “I trust I see you well, after all these long years of sepa­ ration. You are little changed. Still beautiful as the old siren tbat sent me to the Evil One os fast as possible.” The woman’s face grew scornful, an indignant, contemptuous glance fell upon the dark, handsome face of the man, and in tones of withering scorn, she replied: “That is false—just as false as you arc. I can find no better comparison. You went your evil course simply be­ cause your heart was evil. I always disliked you.” “And 1 always loved you,” said the man, smilingly. “Love! You are too cruel to know what that word means. It was you who wrecked my life far more dread­ fully than you ever dreamed of, thank heaven I But it is past What brings you back to your old home now? Some new contemplated crime, no doubt." “You are highly complimentary, to soy the least. But I will tell you why 1 came back.

I'll die if you do, boss.” The man laughed boisterously. “Not much you won’t; you jist keep yer eyes peeled. I’ve larned ye how to shoot first rate, and we’ll all be back in less than a week.” Then Jim muttered to himself: “It’s agin the Cap’in’s order*, but I can’t help that.

Miss Isabel Randolph sunk back iu her chair in a dead faint. “Queer," ho thought, puzzled for once in his life, “that sho should faint over his adopted daughter, and toko his death as calmly as sho did. Ah, she’s coming oround." She recovered slowly at first, but when his dork, evil face grew plainer, gloating over her misery, she struggled for composure and conquered. “Tho story you bring is so terrible, it is enough to weaken stronger nerves than mine.

It is principally consumed locally in the country districts, aud very little is exported. The best cider , is said to be made in the Province of Normandy, where it was introduced many ages since by the Moors, but cider is mode in no fewer than fifty-four de­ partments. About 150,00J barrels of cider and perry uro annually made in the western counties of England, the sweet in Hereford and tho rough in Devon, and a good deal is also made in North America. In the Dominion of Canada about 1,000,000 gallons of cider are drunk yearly. In Chili, after making cider and wine from their ap­ ples, they extract from the refuse a white and finely flavored spirit, and by another process they procure a sweet treacle, or, os they term it, honey. When properly fermented and prepared the black mulberry yields a pleasant vinous liquor. In the cider counties of England mid berries are sometimes ' mixed with apples to form a beverage known a* mulberry cider. Tho fisher­ men of Newfoundland, Labrador and tbe Gulf of Sl Lawrence drink largo quantities of spruce beer. It is consid­ ered an admirable corrective of thendiet, which consists principally of fat pork and salt fish. The process of mak­ ing it is simple. A few black spruce branches are chopped into small pieces and put into a pot containing six or eight gallons of water and bo.led for several hours. The liquor is then strained and put into a cask that will contain eighteen gallons. Molasses ia added in the proportion of ono gallon to eighteen gallons; a pint of tbo grounds of the last brewing and a few hops, if at hand, aro also put in and the cask, filled up with cold water, is left to ferment. In twenty-four hours it becomes fit for use. Spirits are fre­ quently mixed with sprtce beer to make the drink called “callibogus." In New Zealand a drink somewhat resem­ bling spruce is made from the twigs of Dacrydiuni taxifolium and was used by Captain Cook. There are some who write, talk, and think so much about virtue, that they have no time to practice it.
