THIRTEEN THOUSAND. Living Under Water. The length ot time during which a perwon oan live under water, without the aid of any diving apparatus, is a question in dispute among scientific men. Some travelers have told marvelous stories of the natives ot Eastern coun­ tries who were able to stay ten or oven fifteen minutes under water, but there can bo no donbt that these are absurd exaggerations. It ia wall known that the ordinary divers for coral, sponge, and pearl oysters do not remain under more than two minutes, aud the “man­ dsn" who exhibit in the museums do not exceed two minutes and a half. The doctors differ in their opinion as to the time at which death comes in drowuing. Some say in three minutes, others in five; but none acts a longer time than thia, except the drowning person faints, when respiration and animation cease. A Frenchman named Lucaesagne has been for some time studying thia sub­ ject, and tbe results of his experiments and observations are tn the Bevue Bcienlifique. The man upon* whom he experimented was a famous Hungarian swimmer named James, who, among other exploits, once swam from Cala a to Dover, and had re­ mained under water for fonr minutes aud fourteen seconds. Before diving it was observed he first expelled all the air from his lungs and then took a long breath. After bo had been under water for a minute, his heart beats Iwcamo alow, irregular, and feeble. After two minute* and thirty-seven seconds there was a rush of blood to the head, and Jris eyes ap­ peared sunken. Still be continued to breatho amply and regularly at tho rate of twenty respirations a minute, while at tho same time tho observer no­ ticed that the abdominal cavity dimin­ ished gradually in size. . . M. Lacossagne believes from this, and from the fact that James continu­ ally swallowed his saliva, that in draw­ ing the long breath at first ho swal­ lowed a quantity of air, and that, the ordinary respiratory channels being closed, ho takes into’ his lungs tho air contained in his stomach, which, being breathed out, is returned to his stom­ ach, and from thenco again taken, somewhat purified, into his lungs. That is, in other words, be makes of his stomach a reservoir for air, a fact which, if true, will account for his abil­ ity to remain for such an extraordinary time under water. * This process, which the diver per­ forms instinctively and mechanically, M. Lacassogne believes can and should bo learned by all swimmers, as giving them a far greater endurance under the surface than they now possess.— Youth’s Companion. STATIONS. Grand Rapid Middleville .

You ask me to tell my opinion of | Christ Let mo say here, once for all, that for tho man Christ—for the man who, in the darkness, cried out: “My God, why hast thou forsaken mo?"— for that man 1 have tho greatest possi­ ble respect And lot mo say, once for alh that tbe place where man has died for man is holy ground. To that great and serene peasant of 1’alestino I glad­ ly pay tho tribute of my admiration and my tears. Ho was a reformer in his day—an infidel in his time. Back of the theological m&sk, and in spite of the interpolation of tho New Testament, I see a groat and genuine man. , It is hard to see how you can consist­ ently defend tho course pftrsuod by Christ himself. He attacked witu great bitterness "the Religion of others.” it did not occur to him that “there was something very cruel in his treatment of the belief of his fellow creatures." He denounced tho chosen people of God ns a “generation of vipers.” He compared them to “zhitedsepulchers.” How can you sustain the conduct of missionaries? They go to other lands aud attack the sacred belief of others. They tell the people of India and of all heathen lands, not only that thoir religion is a lie, not only that their gods are myths, but that the ancestors of these people—their fathers and mothers who never ‘ hoard of God, of tho Bible, or of Christ—are all in per­ dition. Is not this a cruol treatment of the belief of a follow creature? A religion that'is not manly and robust enough to bear Mattock with smiling fortitude is unworthy of a place in tho heart or brain. A religion that takes refuge in sentimentality, that cries out: “Do not, I pray you, tell mo any truth calculated to hurt my feelings” is fit only for asylums. Hat’ a Remedy. In court.

' Pafilbm. There appears to be just now a re­ vival of pugilism, or what has been humoroualy*stvled tha “pummelogical” profession, which may, perhaps, be called the most fruitful of all profes­ sions. Slugger Sullivan, the idol of Boston, and who, in one sense of the word, in “the greatest Roman of the maul.” has gone to England, where ho is creating an immense sensation among the aris­ tocracy. The object of his visit to England is to knock out a man by tbe name of Smith, but a great many peo­ ple in this country would be highly gratified if all tho Smiths in I- ngiand would rise as one man and knock out Sullivan so effectually that ho would never come back. e are, nevertheless, compelled to recognize the fact that a great nlany jwoplo who denounce tho press *for publishing the details of prize fights, usually carry a copy of tho obnoxious journal in their coat-tail pockets, for some unknown purpose. It is also a singular fact that they are always ready to bet on ono or the other of the pugilists. To an unprejudiced outsider, it would seem that although sluggers lose ground in a contest, for lack of wind, none of them lack wind before the match comes off. In tho reports of tlie fight, we frequently read that ouo of tho combatants “knocked the wind” out of the other. If th:'s feat is really accomplished, it is certainly one of the greatest honor to tho profession, par­ ticularly if We take into consideration what a tremendous amount of wind the pugilists develop for months before the fight. , While we cannot too strongly depre­ cate brutal sluggers pounding each other to a pulp, and fully realize what a disgrace it is to civilization and tho ninoloenth century, still, if there is to bo an international contest between Sullivan and Smith, the English cham­ pion, wo do hope and pray, now that we come to think of it, that our man will do up tbo Englishman in fine style.—Texas Siftings. A Cure for Dead*Heading. Superintendent Morton, of the Union Railway Company, tells the following story. “When I first took charge of the road the drivers complained to mo of a certain lady who rode down and bock again every day without paying fare. She would get aboard the cor and hand tho driver a $*20-bill to change. Of course he could not change it, and could not ask the lady to got off, so she rode free every trip. I decided that she was deliberately beating tho com­ Eany and determined to get even with er. One morning I gave one of the drivers on tho line which passed the lady’s bouse $20 in nickels, and in­ structed him to change tho Indy’s bill. She fell into the trap, and about 10 o’clock hoarded tho right car on her way down town. She handed the driver the $20-bill and he promptly returned her 400 nickels. She put her fare iu the box, but she was so angry she left the cor and did not ride again for a month. After that she always had change when she boarded a car. It would surprise yoxff" continued Mr. Morton, “to know how many Deople, especially ladies, beat the company out of their fare in this way.

One of the Indians, who evidently understood English, grunted, and a half-amused expression appeared about Kir solemn lips. Poor terrified Skete Was certainly a ludicrous object as he stood tremblingly before them, realiz­ ing that he had worse enemies than snakes to deal with. “Golly! .1—1 couldn’t keep still. Lor, how could I ?” “What black brudder doing here? This Indian’s hunting ground," spoke tbo ono redskin who appeared to un­ derstand him. "Oh, golly, I know it. I wer doin’ my ' bery best to’ git out ob it—if it hadn't been fur dot ar snake.*” “Where you come from ?” Skete scratched his woolly head arid pondered. Ho didn’t know just what was best to answer; he feared if he told them the truth, they would compel him to return and show them the way to the outlaw's home, and to save his life Skete couldn’t have retraced his steps. “»>bcr yonder," ho said, with a wave of.his hand. “What you doing here, all alone?" “Lor’ bress your soul, didn’t I jos’ tell you I wnr tryin' to git away ? 1 got lost from my boss, and I didn’t know de way home, dat's all.” The Indian grunted, and questioned him no further, and Skete soon saw they were making preparations to de­ part “Black man come too. Indians show black man the way home.” Skete obediently followed their lead, knowing objections would not be ad­ visable. At a little distance a half dozen ponies were grazing. These part of the Indians mounted, and tho remainder trudged ou foot behind them. Among the latter camo Skete, empty-handed now. since .one of the redskins carried his rifle and two others his revolver and big knife. For a wonder they had not found the small dagger hidden in his bosom. It was tho longest march Skete hod ever taken, and lasted for three days. The Indians had not been particularly unkind to him, yet he felt as they'pene trated farther and farther in that wild, mountaniouB country that the hope of ever seeing his dear Miss Nora again was very faint but he did not lose heart wholly; his simple, childlike na­ ture always trusted to something hap­ pening in his favor. His situation might well have appalled tho bravest hunter, for when at the end of tho third day they entered another valley, ho found himself in a large and populoos Indian camp, many miles from friends, and surrounded only by deadly foes.

Some physi- CoNSIDEbing that tho construction of nearly one thousand miles of rail­ way is impending in South Africa, wo may bo excused in giving tho latest parti, ulars bearing upon tho under­ taking. The chief obstacle to tho en­ terprise is President Krugor, of tho Transvaal, and it is satisfactory to bo able to note in.regard to him that his own Boer subjects have protested against his policy, and are putting for­ ward candidates favorable to the policy of confederation. This movement is most important, because it will give increased security to English enter­ prise in tho Transvaal; whereas, if tho Boers had sided with their President, a feeling of discouragement might havo been, produced. Moreover, now that tbe Transvaal Boors have gone against Kruger, that politician, already isola­ ted by the refusal of the OraBgo Free State to join him against tho Cape, is practically put in a corner. If, there­ fore, ho does not very speedily change his policy, bis downfall may bo expect­ ed, and in that caso there will be a confederation of Cape Colony, Natal, Orange Free State, and tho Trans­ vaal, accompanied by a rapid expan­ sion of the railway system, reminding one of Canada. It behooves railway contractors, therefore, to keep a vigi­ lant eye upon South Africa, from which there should be some good or­ ders ere long. A Column or Two of Chat About the Fair Daughters of Eve. Together with a Few Notes on Latest Styles In Feminine Attire. Tho fur-trimmed belle is a present thing of outdoor beauty. Fur enters into the costumes of January not merely as trimming, but in many small accessories, such as the vest, the gir­ dle, plastron, cuffs, and also appears in combination with cloths and velvets in tho way any. contesting fabric would be used. kJ any a fragile woman car­ ries a load of fur which wearies while it warms her. But the wrap shown in the picture, with only its edges of fnr to add to that of the cap and muff, is not overweighted, while it is warm iu both looks and feeling. Sealskin, Persian lamb, long black monkeyskin, and the brown furs that resemble sable, aa well as tho genuine Russian sable itself, are the favorites for trimming wraps. Tho glossy Russian lambakin, that looks like moire, or watered fur, is al<M> revived, and, with a pretty, soft muff to match, is a gtylish finish to any costume of green, red, or blue cloth*trimmed with black, whether it is black braid or watered silk, or else lengthwise bands of tbe black fur itself. Bands of all kinds of fnr are employed for bordering the edges of walking costumes made more *or less in rediugote style, and also for panels and tabs on the fronts and sleeves of long mantles. Cloth redingotes made with bell-shaped sleeves and full a'kirts, open in front, are bor­ dered and edged with bands of fur iu some' cases, but separate ornaments made in a style to harmonize with the costume are more stylish and fMhionable. A novel trimming for mantles is a kind of fur fringe, with macaroons and pendants, all made of fur.

Among other interesting milter the following is found: “Our dear Henry Paugh was with us on this trip, as in tho one wo took eight and a half years ago. And again, as then, showed us that wonder of nature in tho great cottonwood tree' that many will not believe, even when trustworthy people -'tetl it. I refer to tbe veritable veins that run up tho sides of these forest monarchs—the swamp poplar, the tree really is—in which a clear, sparkling water runs in spring and summer, when the * sap is up.' It tastes like the unsweetened soda of our ‘fo.mta,’ and the vein when punctured spurts under gaseous pres­ sure as if charged by a machine. The water is deliciously refreshing. Hunt­ ers prize it, where potable water is hard to find, and carry a handy gimlet to pierce the veins, making it a point of honor to plug up the orifice with a woolen stopi»er when their thirst is sat­ isfied, so that the next comer may not be disappointed in applying to an emp­ ty fountain. It is a wonderful * provi­ sion of nature,'os we say; not a decayed hollow, but a tree, vein-living, perfect­ ly sound, and bolding gallons of re­ freshing fluid. About one tree in fifty, perhaps, has them. By what law of selection is not known.” The Worm Turns. Life has had its eye on tho plumber for several years, momentarily expect­ ing that he would turn upon hia per­ secutors. At last it has come, and while wo have little spmpathy for that particular plumber who holds a mort­ gage on our house, we rejoice for his brethren that tho return blow is effec­ tive.

It is both modest and decolete, and is suitable to many different materials, from siik to cal­ ico. A freakish fancy in fuon this season is to have it match tho wearer’s hair in texture. Some foolish and artificial devotees of fashion, if they can’t match their hair in fnr, bleach or dye their heads to the desired hue. ' There is in New York just now (it iZ hard to say how long it will be there) an establishment for tho restoration of the natural color to hair that time has bleached. As it is extensively adver­ tised by circulars, many of its customerj are from a distance.' A woman was seen lately in a coat of hair that, like Joseph’s, wm of many colors. All shades of brown, several reds, includ­ ing rose pink and a pleasant purple, adorned her head. “Isn’t it frightful ?" asked she; “my hair wm nice, but get­ ting gray. I yielded to the seductive aseurance of this concern, and here I am. I had to have my hair first bleached a dingy, yellowish white. Then it was to be colored any shade 1 wanted, and that shade would be permanent" Then -the poor woman went on to say that her hair was dyed, after the bleaching process, a chestnut brown; that mjrm sort of brilliautine lent to it, for a day, a life-like appear­ ance; but before she had got home it wm like an old wisp of dirty hay, no color at all, and the consistency of jute.

The December report of the secretary of the treasury shows that the national bank circulation is steadily and rapidly declining, the decrease aggregating about $80,000,000 in tbe year 1887. At this rate the time is near at hand when there will be no more national bank notes in circulation unless something is done speedily. The recent blizzard in the northwest is said to have been the severest ever known in that severe country. The Toronto News says it oven went so far aa to freeze whiskey in the barrels.

They understand something of every branch of economy and labor, from finance to cooking. .Though harassed by a hundred respon­ sibilities, though driven and worried, though reproached and looked down upon, they n tver revolt; and they can­ not organize for their own protection. Not even sickness releases them from their posts. No sacrifice is deemed to great for them to make, and no incom­ petency in any branch of their work is excused. No essays or books of poems are written in tribute of their stead­ fastness. They die in the harness and are supplanted as quickly as may be. These are the housekeeping wives of laboring men.

The principal causes for these murders are stated to be: Quarrels, 1,199, or more than onehalf; liquor, 212; jealousy. 184; high­ waymen, 118; infanticide, 107and insan­ ity, 83. Tbe cause of 211 is put down as "unknown. ” Turning from the crimes to the pen­ alties meted out by tbe law to tbe shedd^rs of men’s blood the contrast ia startling. Against 3 335 murders in 1887 there stand only 79 legal execu­ tions during the year and 133 lynchings. The is no record of the disposition of the other cases. In 1886 there were 1.499 murders, 83 legal executions and 188 lynchings; in 1886, 1.808 murders, 108 legal executions nnd 181 lynchings; in 1884. 1,466 murders, 133 legal execu­ tions and 189 lynchings. There is only one way to account for the increase of murder ami the decrease of hangings—tho uncertainty of the law has ceased to make it a restraint upon the passionate aud a terror to the vi­ cious. Justice hobbles through the* courts on crutches, while all the ave­ nues of escape are greased for crimi­ nals. '' This story is worth repeating. It comes from Jackson, tbe capital of Mississippi. A young white man who had a grudge against a colored man. of some months standing, ou Christina.* eve. gathered a crowd of his associates and with tin horns and fire-crackers they followed him in the streets. The young man blew the horn in the negro’s face, and the latter, who was escorting a lady, bore tip insulting demonstra­ tion with patience until several large tire-crackers were dropped across the arm of the young lady. The negro then dismissed bis escort, stepped into a butcher shop, picked up a knife, with which after receiving three shots from the revolver of his assailant, he nearly severed tbe bead of tho young white from his shoulders. Both died in less than two hours. Thia incident is used to frame an inflammable indictment against the Republican city administra­ tion, and the Democratic convention appointed a committee of one bundreu to see that their ticket was elected. The Young Men’s White League adopt­ ed resolutions that if a negro attempted to run for office in the approaching municipal election “he does so at his ■upiemest peril,” aud negroes were further warned against attempting to vote for a ticket other than the regular Democratic one. At a meeting^of the colored voters, to whom it was evident that tbe whites of Jackson and the sur­ rounding counties has conspired to use murderous weapons to enforce thpir decree, a resolution was passed declar­ ing that in the interest of peace, and for the protection of life and property, the colored people refrain from voting or in anyway participating in said election, and withdrawing the colored candidates for aldermen. This all happened with­ in three weeks, in the capital of Mr. Lamar’s state, and anything more abominable and barbarous it is impos­ sible to conceive. Mississippi does not enjoy a Republican government what­ ever its form may be. It i* entirely proper to “regulate” by law good things which, in the hand* of Iwtd men, are liable to abuse. Tbe law­ making and taw-etiforciug power may be properly inn ked to regulate trans­ portation by rail or water, the law may be called upon t<» declare what is pro­ per interest, and at what point interest leaves oft and naury begin*, and tbe lawnrny alaoregiilale-ttlie sale of drags to prevent theirmisuse bycareleM, im­ moral or bad men. But an evil, known, marked and admitted, and evil which has no admixture of good, an evil which tbe sense of the entire civilized world has branded ns an evil, can no more be “reflated" than a barrel orp^wder can be fired off by degrees.’ * Any evil that needs regulation n^eds death. If it be an evil, if the world ac­ knowledges and regards it as an evil, killing it is the only remedy. What would.be thought of a proposition to make: A law regulating adultery. ’ A law regulating burglary. A law regulating arson. Alaw regulating larceny., A law regulating highway robbery. A law regulating forgery. A law regulating assault aud battery. A law regulating wife beating, and so forth! ’ These crimes are not to be regulated. They are forbidden. The law does not say, “You may, under certain rales and regulations, do these things,” but for the protection of society iu says, "You shall not.” MICHIGAN FARM MORTGAGES. Tbecommisfiioner of the labor bureau of Michigan has just made a report that given some startling statistics of the condition of the farmers ot tins state. He had been directed to collect facts respecting mortgaged farms, and bis figures indicate that probably one half of the farming land of the state, and possibly more, is heavily encumbered. Of 90,803 farms investigated, 43,079 were, iu whole or io part, mortgaged. This is about 47 per cent of the whole. The most startling fact of the report, meanwhile, is the mortgages amount to from 55 to 66 per cent of the assessed valuation of tho laud. The rate of interest paid averages as high aa 7.2 per cent. This indicates that the farmers are paying tbe mort­ gagees their entire loan every fourteen years, through successions of good, bad ^nd indifferent seasons. Now, is it possible for any agricul­ tural community to maintain even an appearance ot prosperity for any length of time under such a lamentable coa­ ti it ion of affairs as the above figures demonstrate! The fact ia, that by this showing a very large proportion of tbe farmers ot Michigan are engaged in a struggle to enrich the eastern capital­ ists, in two ways. In the first place, they are paying them a bounty on all tbe merchandise they consume, amount­ ing to from 30 to 150 per cent. In the second place, they are borrowing mon­ ey from the same capitalists at high rates of interest in the vain attempt of keeping tbeii hearts aoove water. • MICHIGAN NEWS.

Is this country unconciously undergo­ ing a wonderful change, is the change to take place before we are aware of the fact, and when it has taken place will we wonder why we did not see it before it was too late !

We have seen the grain growing cen­ ters of this country shifted to the West. We have seen the pork-packing indus­ try flit from Cincinnati to Chicago, and thence to Kansas City and Omaha. Southern cotton mills undersell New England and American markets, and challenge the world. We have seen aud are seeing all this take place before our eyes, and know that other changes arc taking place equally ns prominent, and we wonder as we Ixjhold them. Ten years ago the insurance companies required an anal­ ysis of the fluids only when they wore taking insurance for very large amounts. To-day no first-class com­ pany will insure any amount unless a rigid analytd* is had of the fluids passed, and if certain disorders rtj apparent, the application U rejected. In th* ir re­ ports they show that the death jif sixty of every 100 people in this country, is due either directly or indirectly to Hach disorders. The Brompton Hospital lor Consumptives. London, England, re­ ports that sixty of every 100 victims of consumption also have serious <ti*orrdersof the kidneys. Among scientists for the treatment of this dread malady tbequestion is be­ ing discussed: “Is not this disorder the real cause of consumption !” Ten years ago the microscope was something seldom found in a physi­ cian's office; dot every physiuu of standing has one and seldom visits his Satienta without calling for a sample of aids for examination.

I'.-issing up his cup for a second cup of coffee, be discovered his wife's eyes tilled with tears, and that she was eating* little or nothings “Do be reasonable, Elsie." Royce spoke rather impatiently. “I would be very glad to take you if it were possible for me to get nwny this week. Bat it really is—as I said before—quite impossible." After saying this Royco left tho table aud pot his arm affectionately around his wife. But Elsie was in no mood forenressee. and snatching her hands away from him she suddenly left tbe room, with that in­ evitable slain of the door that is absolhtely tieresiwy whoa one is thoroughly angry. Elsie, when she quarreled witu any one •he loved, was bound 'to cry; so the next ten minutes were spent in tears. Royce, feeling very angrv with every­ thing in general, and his wife in particu­ lar, snatched up his hat and departed for his office. Alter the lapse of half an hour, Elsie felt thoroughly ashamed of herself, aud wished she had not let her temper get the upper hand of her; that she had not said so many unkind things to her husband. At that instant the little French clock chimed out 8 o'clock, and Elsie sprang to her feet, hastily opened the door, and hurried to ward the breakfast-room. ' Eight o'clock, and Royce invariably left the bouse for the office at quarter of 8, and now. because she had given way to her temper, he would, of course, be late. Tbe door stood ajar. Elsie pushed it open and glanced in expecting to see Rovce sitting there in a dejected attitude. But instead tbe room was empty. Gone! Elsie could not realize it. Indeed, she would uot believe it But a careful search of the house proved that he was really gone. And with­ out kissing her good-by. The first time be bad failed to do so since their marring*. What should she ■ do? Elsie was unde­ cided. The low French window opened on to a veranda that ran entirely around tho house, and as it stood invitingly open, she obeyed a sadden impulse and want oat. As she did so something white caught her •ye—a letter laying on tbe steps that led down to the delightful little garden, where tbe roses, pink,white, aud crimson, sent up their sweet fragrance. Elsie picked it up. ber thoughts too busy with tbe events of the morning to wonder why it was there or who could hare dropped ft. Turning it carelessly over in her hand, her eye caught ber husband's name. With trembling hands she opened it out aud read tho following: “Sept. 15th. 1887. "Friend Boyce—Yours received, and I gladly undertake your commission. I am surprised at what yoc wrote. I will do my best for you. I do not see tbe lady very often. The whole affair is quite romantic. I can remember the time when every one here expected you would marry her, and yon surprised every one by doing nothing of tho sort. She always appears sad of late, and, now you have told me the reason, I pity her. If she consents to forget and forgive, I myself will take a trip into Lan­ don ibis.week and see her safely to your office. Sincerely yours, -“Kent Hallett.” Elsie read it through to tbe end. Her heart seemed to stand still. She crushed the paper in her tightly clenched hand, and trembled with excitement Who was this girl her husband was so" interested in? This, then, was the reason ho could uot leave his business. She understood it all noy. What should she do? Her heart ached as young hearts only can ache. Again she read the letter, standing there on the broad veranda, ,the sunlight falling on her slim, girlish figure in its pale-blue morning dress, glinting like sil­ ver from her nut-brown hair, and falling pityingly on the aweet, Dale face bent over that fatal letter. She oouid never be happy again. Once more she turned her attention to the letter end read it through for the third tiir.c. Then sbc quickly catered tbe house, and. clanging her pretty morning drew for a dark street suit, was soon walking rapidly in the direction of her hns band's office. geachad his office he felt sorry he had left home without bidding Elsie good-by. He blamed himself for all the trouble. If _ he _______ ,,, , _ had only explained to her why he could not leave at tb:» particular time, everything ■would have been all right But he wantea to wail until tbe whole affair wan nettled before he told her. “Never mind," he •add to bimaekf; “I will go home early to dinner and make it all up." | Tnen h» attention waa attracted by a letter lying on hia desk. ’ quickly read ft through. — •'------- he hastily wrote I tbe following note: for all you have done for me?" “By being true to yourself tn the future, Arthur," replied Royoe, earnestly. Anhar Gweodon sank down into a chair and reeled his head on his baud. “What of Millie? Tell me about my wife, Royce. Do you really think it possible she can forgivff me, anti that once more I shall clasp her to my been, and we begin a new life ‘Yh, Arthur, your wife has forgiven jou, and is, even now. on her way here. I received a letter from an old friend of mine, Kent Hallett, this morning. She is in his care, and will soon be here. Hark!" aa tbe sound of carriage-wheels sounded on the hard pavement, then stopped sud­ denly. “Remain hero, Arthur; you shall see her alone. “ Saying this, Royce left the room, ana met a lady aud gentleman just entering tbe building. Millie Gwendon put aside her veil ns Bho entered tbe hall and held out both her hands. “Royce, kind friend,” was all she could say. Kent Hallett, as he opened the outside door leading into the big hall, saw Royoe coming forward to meet them, so he did not enter with Millie, but let her meet Royoe alone, while ho remained standing on tbe marble steps just at the entrance. Almost instantly his attention was at­ tracted by a lady hurrying toward him from the opposite side of the street. She did not glanoe at him, however, but pushed the heavy door open and entered. As she poised by him Kent caught a glimpse of a pair of big brown eyes, and the sweetest, at tbe some time tho saddest, face he bad ever seen. It was Elsie Lonsdale, and she entered just as Millie Gwendon had given'both her bands to Royoe. Ana she beard Royce say: “From now on, Millie, I hope your life will bo a happier one.” Elsie waited to hear no more. She turned ".nd almost flew outof tho building; with so much haste,in fact, that she ran against Kent Hallett and nearly caused him to lose his Iwlunce and go down the steps too quickly for comfort. Recovering himself, he was not a little surprised to too the Indy who had entered a minute before leaving in such desperate haste and evident confusion.' Again the door opened and Royce came out. Smoking hands with Kent, he hnpponed to glanoe-down tbe street. There, uot a block away, walking very tepidly, was the familiar figure of his wife. “Excuse me a minute, Kent," he said, hurriedly; “there goes my wife, and I want to sMak’to her.”“Your wife,” exclaimed Kent Hallett in surprise; then he told Royce how tbe lady now fast disappearing in tbe distance had entered tbe door aud came out xgain in such desperate haste. Royco waited to hear no more, but walked rapidly down the street in the direc­ tion Elsie hod taken. As he came in sight of bis home lie caught a glimpse of Elsie's dress as the door closed behind her. * Hurrying forward he entered and soon Mood at tho door of their room. He hesi­ tated only an instant, then softly opened tbo door. Elsie's hat lay on tbe floor, and Elsie herself face down upon tbo bed cry­ ing as though her heart would break. “Ob, Royce, my husband, bow could you deceive mo. when I loved you so dearly?" in an instant Rorce had her in his arms and was raining kisses on her neck and tangled brown hair. Her face was turned away from him. “Elsie, my darling little wife, do not cry so. I have never deceived you.” It was soon explained. Royce told Elsie the whole troth concerning Arthur Gwen­ don and his wife. I shall not go into de­ tails here, because, for both their sakes, it is beat lorgotten; and we have every reason to believe that their future life will be n happier one. Elsie's tears wore soon turned to happy «miks, and with a little exclamation of joy she nestled against her husband and hide her burning face. “My darling,” ho murmured, and bis hand caressed her wavy brown hair with i tbe most tender of lingering touches, while : Elsie whispered: “I will never doubt yon^ i again, my husband; never again." not care what he would do then, but for tbo preeent he would wait. Six week* ago Philip Dcemont and Irene Hauler wore married io the little parlor at Irene's home. Voder a beautiful bond bell composed entirely of rosebuds they Irene loved her husband as only such affectionate natures can love. She was only nineteen and Phlhp'thirty-two, Immediately after they -were married, Philip had token his bride to their future home, some three hundred miles distant, and there proudly introduced her to his friends. Irene had always appeared perfectly happy; she was young, naturally joyous In disposition, end a general favorite with all who knew her. There Were sqvcral young married peo­ ple living near them, and they all con­ trived to moke tbe summer, Irene's first among them, pass pleasantly. On this afternoon they hod arranged for a game of tennis, and as Philip's lawn af­ forded the beat tennis court, they had met there for the purpose. After the first game, Philip had gone into the house for his wife's wrap, as she felt slightly chilly after so much violent exertion. Then it was that he had discovered the letter that seemed destined to ruin all his happiness. The smile of gayety is often assumed,, while tbe heart may ache within. And it was so in Philip's case. He managed to play through a game of tennis very creditably. ' But he felt relieved when it came to an end, .and time for their friends to depart The neat morning Philip was up long before Irene was. awake. Ho could not sleep and decided a walk before breakfast would do him good. Thus it happened that he entered the breakfast room before Irene. He paced the floor impatiently until he heard her step on tho stairs. Then the door opened nnd Irene' entered. She was dressed in a charming morning robe of delicate blue, and’ Philip thought she had never looked so innocent and sweet before. His heart ached as ho folded her in his arms and kissed her again and again. “Oh, Irene, my darling, say you love me." “Love you? Why, Philip, you know I love you—that I never knew what it was to love until I met you." “Are you sure you never loved any other man. Irene?” “Sure, Philip? How strangely you talk. Of course I am sure. ” After they bad finished breakfast Philip, instead of going at once to his office, os was usually his custom, lingered by tho window.gazingont in on abstracted manner. Irene had always been in the habit of giving him her letters to mail, and this morning she had not mentioned having any. As Philip stood looking out of the win­ dow, he was thinking of this. At Inst, taking np his hat, ho said, care­ lessly, “Any letters to mail this morning, Irene?" To his surprise Irene jumped to her feet, exclaiming: “Charlie’sletter! How oouid I !>e so forgetful? Wait just a minute, Phil." And she hurried out of the room. “Charlie's letter." Philip could not be­ lieve bis ears. Evidently, there -was a mis­ take somewhere. Presently Irene returned with a letter in ber hand which she was folding ready for the envelope. "I am so glad you mentioned letters, Philip, for yesterday morning I wrote to my old school chnm. Charlotte Tracy, or ■•Charlie," as we always called her, and forgot to give it to yon." How easily it was all explained. Philip had mode himself miserable for nothing. How happy he was to prove it all a mis­ take. Some time be would tell his wife all about it, but not now. THE QL'EERNESS OF THINGS. This is a sort of topsy-tarry world. No one seems to bo satisfied.

Clay, widow of the noted Alabama senator, captured with Jeff Davis, was concerned with the most famous duelist tbe south over produced in the person of Alexander K. McClung. lie was a native of Kentucky, and for many years was prominent in politics and society. He was an exquisite in dress and man­ ners, a brilliant speaker and writer of tremendous power. possessing the keenest wit and sarcasm. His altacks on the Van Buren lulministration gave him a national celebrity. He killed a great many men during his career. As an instance of his deadliness, for he always killed thn man he fought, may be mentioned his ,duel with General Allen, of Mississ)ippi. He had hnard that Allen made some slighting remark about him. Af­ ter Allen had accepted his challenge, McClung declared that he would shoot out the tongue that made the remark. Tho duel was fought at forty puces with rifles, and he literally cut Alien’s tongue out as he threatened. One instance exhibits bis courage. One day he rode up to an inn in a little Mississippi, town. AVhile he was dis­ mounting. a notorious bully and des­ perado of that country, who had killed many men and was the terror of tljpt region, was on the inside with his re­ volver cocked and a watch in his band. He bad ordered the room cleared in five minutes and every man had gone, although all were fighting men. When McClung entered the bully faced him, and with a big oath informed him of the facts, and that there were only three minutes left before he should kill whoever remained. McClung with­ out moving a muscle or drawing a weapon produced his watch, glanced at Hand said; “Myzfiame is AlexnnderMcClung. I give you ten-seconds to get out of here or you are a dead man.1’ The fellow yelled out, * “By------ , colonel, on«-half of that time will do,” and ho was out in two seconds. Later on in his career he was haunt­ ed by remorse. Man killing had left its pains. His light was never out in his room at night, aud men said ho slept not. When the Mexican war broke outho'told the Bev. Peter Donan, father of the now only Colonel Peter, that he waa weary with life; that he had never found any one who could kill him, and he was going to battle to seek death on the field as he did not want to commit suicide. He entered the service as a volun­ teer, and from the first placed himself in the front point of danger, command­ ing attention for his absolute bravery. He was promoted again and again un­ til he reached the head of a regiment, when he was shot through the body. Then he retained home, saying he couldn’t be killed, and hazzarded his life in several duels thereafter. He grew more and more eccentric, and thought his opponents abused his con­ fidence by not killing him. Then ho met Mrs. Clay, a beautiful girl of her time. She describes him as the most fas­ cinating man to women she ever met, possessing that serpentine power over women which historians and roman­ cers attribute to Aaron Burr, the same power that Mattie Quid of Virginia had over men. McClung proposed marriage to Mrs. Clay, but her friends objected on account of his excessive dueling propensities, and the fear that she would be unhappy with him. She asked him to wait six months before replying and during the interval did not dare to meet him on account of his power over her. In the meanwhile she met Clement C. Clay, and was satisfied that he was her destiny. Shortly after the engagement was an­ nounced she got a note from McClung, asking for an interview. Being afraid of his spell, and that be might kill her, she declined. It was only aJew days later when McClung rode into the then little pine town of Columbus, Missis­ sippi. Ho was shown to a room at an inn, the floor of which was irregular Liko those of all such places. He poured water on the floor and observed which way the incline ran. Then dressing himself with the greatest care. and exquisite neatnev, he lay dbwn with his bead inclined with the floor. Ho placetl one hand across his breast, and with tho other tho muzzle of his favorite duelling pistol at the bose of the brain, where death is instantane­ ous. He was found there, dead, without a stain of blood on his scrupulously clean, perfectly arrayed person, having realized his superstition at last, that finding no one else who could kill him, he became' a/rio de sc.—N. Y. 'Ibtcn Topics. DAD COLDS. itching Man js what is known as a warm­ blooded animal, that is, he possesses the capacity under all circumstances of maintaining an average uniform temperature. Whether he live in the frost-bound arctic regions or in the burning districts of Central Africa the beat of the blood is tbe same. In sum­ mer and winter alike (if we except, perhaps, certain abnormal states of the body due to the excitation or depres­ sion of the vital processes in various diseases), the average temperature of the human body is 08.4 degrees Fahren­ heit. Now, this is a remarkable fact, as, in view of the peculiar source from which animal heat is derived, namely, from the combustion of used-up tissue with the oxygen of inspired air, it stands to reason that the heat of the blood cannot remain constant for five minutes together, as with every move­ ment of our muscles we add coaid to the human pre; and the regulation of all our movements, so as to preserve a uniform temperature, would be an utter impossibility. How, then, is the ob­ ject achieved? The superfluous heat is disposed ot by conduction and radiation in the c*pan'll iaries of the skin and by evapo­ ration tiirough the sweat glands and air passages, anil when there is no su­ perfluous beat to dispose of, the skin coutracte to prevent evaporation of moisture from t!« surface. Thus, when we cxeH ourselves, •rcordlngly we both pant ami pcrepire 14 hen we are cold, on the other hand the skin is very far from being moist and contracts, presenting what is called the “goose akin” appearance. . Now. these functions are under the immediate control of the nervous sys­ tem. Cold acts on the latter in such n way that the vessels supplying the skin are constricted, the flow of blood to the surface checked, loss of heat by copduction, radiation, and evaporation being thus prevented; while heat, on the other band, relaxes the blood vessels and favors the es­ cape from the body. It will thus be seen what an important part the ner­ vous system plays in tha maintenance of animal heat. Whenever, owing to any derange­ ment of the nervous system, tbe per­ fect maintenance of animal heat fails to be carried out. disorder ensues, the mildest form of which is a catarrh— namely, the blocking tip of the skin or outer surface of the body, with the consequent transference of the excre­ tion to mucous or inner surface. The deleterious matter which ought to have been removed by tbe skin irri­ tates the blood by its retention, and ultimately expends itself by the nose and throat For example, if the ner­ vous system be feeble sweating would4 probably be induced, and a consequent* loss of heat, irrespective of the body, in which case a cold would most probably follow. As a fact, there are many people with feeble nerves who readily perspire in tbe coldest weather, and are in consequence liable to fro quently recurring colds. The nervous origin of colds also furnish us with a clew to its treat­ ment in the early stages. The whole history of a eold shows it to be essen­ tially and primarily a state of collapse, demanding every recourse to a stimu­ lating plan of treatment. There Is no more dejected mortal than a patient in the first stage of cold, and both his physical and mental condition point to nervous collapse. Hence, we believe the great success of camphor and am­ monia inhalations in the early stage. It has also been repeatedly found that two or three glasses of wine have cut a cold short, when taken at the first appearance of the symptoms.—Cham­ bers' Journal. An Unexpected Interruption. A story too good to be lost is told on Judge Bucher by some of our wayback politicians. Some thirty years ago the judge, then a rising young lawyer—as all young lawyers are—was, as lie still is, a very earnest democrat. During one of those heated campaigns Joe was advertised to address a demo­ cratic mass-meeting at Mifflinburg. The time came and so did Joe, fully conscious of his ability as a speaker but entirely ignorant of the presence of his father in the audience, who was an acknowledged whig leader. For reason best known to himself Joe was a little late, nnd upon mounting the rostrum opened with something like the following apology: “Gentlemen and Fellow-Citizens: I ask jour indulgence for my tardiness and feel assured that you will readily grant it when I explain that it was caused by stopping in for a dram—for, gentlemen, you all well know that no man can make a good speech without taking something to brace him up.” Scarcely had he finished tho last sen­ tence when his father, with stentorian voice, called out from the audience: “Now, hold on, Joe. That is a lie. I can make a better speech than you will ever be able to and I never took a dram in my Ijfe.” This interruption coming from one who had so many sympathizers, took the house by* storm and for the mo­ ment disconcerted Joe, but he gathered himself up and made a rattling speech, though it is asserted that he every now and then cast a bias glance at the old gentleman, us if to see whether ho hadn't a diingio ..liingle hidden under his jacket.—Middleburg (N.

Of course, it’s always colder and more stormy up there than any­ where else, but to accept his state­ ment as accurate it did blow some in his neighborhood last Saturday night. Early Monday morning he went into a house with his daily supply of the lac­ teal fluid and the lady remarked to him that the wind blew Saturday night. Said he: ‘Oh, you know nothing about it down here. I went out Sat­ urday night to the bam aud was re­ turning with a pail of milk, when the blizzani struck me. I had a lantern fastened to me with a strap and the wiud ’dew that out and the lantern went into the air, but I clung to it and it drew me several feet from the ground. The milk in the pall fell out, and as it poured toward the ground the wind struck it. I managed to get to the house without the lantern or pail, and this morning, on the comer of Center and Marslxall streets, I found that milk just as the wind blew it— about a rod of milk frozen stiff, and just as the wind had it when I saw it before. The wind was so furious that it kept that milk in the ajj- in a wavy line till it froze stiff, and then blew down to the village, probably coming through the Bellows pipe.

I think I am correct in saying that the larger proportion of the blossoms selected as national or political symbols have been taken from “the hardy bri­ gade.” Of such are the rose, thistle, shamrock and leek, the broom (planta genista), the white iris of Florence, the Qeur-de-lis of France, the lily alluded to by Chaucer. This last is supposed to have been the white or Madonna's lily, but in the north of Ireland the Orange lily is not unfrequently degraded on July 12 as a symbol of party feeling.

A foster-father would never have written like that I am resolved now to pursue the matter to the end, be it sweet or bitter; but I do wonder where is Fairleigh Hall It must be in or near Richmond. ” When the morning broke she found herself in Richmond, and alone in a big city for the first time since she had Been a child; but she was not afraid. Her modest, self-possessed manner be­ trayed as much. Nevertheless the usual pitfalls for the fair, unprotected young majden were before her. Bixe soon d agovered a policeman loit­ ering around the depot.

The remainder of the day we spent in packing up, and at midnight all’was in readiness, ’<nd we removed tlxm in safety. The dry goods, to the amount of ona thousand dollars, we placed in the cel­ lar. Then Mr. Howard said ho had an empty log house in tho woods about a quarter of a mile away, and he thought it advisable to conceal tho clothing there. * Acting upon tho suggestion, we im­ mediately started with .the clothing, (about fifteen hundred dollars’ worth), and reached tho log hut in safety. It looked weird and solitary enough, seen only by the dim light of lanterns. The inside was simply boarded up, minus tbe plastering. These boards wo quickly removed, and proceeded to hang the clothing up in the hollow space between, then replaced tho boards. It was past four o'clock in the morn­ ing when we reached the store again, and after putting up the horses we went to bed.

A little crip­ pled creature named Foster, who never did and never will walk, began to paint dresses some years ago. She will take a plain satin gown and deftly make it radiant with blossoms, and al­ most vocal with birds. Several cos­ tumes wer« made fine by painted pet-ticoate, and one dross of rich cream white satin was painted six inches •deep about tho train, up the front and -on the waist with large blue pansies— Dot the flaunting yellow and purple •th’ngs—but dewy, tender, shrinking blossoms huddled together, the very perfection of flowers perfectly painted. ■Some one who seemed to know said -the lady wearing it paid a Frenchman in Brooklyn $35Q for the painting.

Gen. Edward 8. Bragg was born at Unadilla, N. Y., Feb. 20, 1827. He re­ ceived a classical education, which was completed at Geneva College. He studied law, and was* admitted to the bar. Re­ moving to Fond du Lac, Win., he prac­ ticed his profession there. In 1808 and 1809 he was a member of the State Senate. Upon the breaking out of tho war he en­ tered the Union army as a Captain. Thir wm in May, 18G1. In October, 1855, ho was mustered out of service with the full rank of Brigadier General. Ho was sent to represent bis district in the Forty-fifth Congress, and was re-elected to tbe Forty­ sixth, Forty-seventh, and Forty-ninth Congresses. He was defeated in tho nom­ inating conventions of the Forty-eighth and Fiftieth Congresses. He was a dele­ gate to tho Democratic National Conven­ tion in Chicago which nominated Cleve­ land, and in eulogizing the then Governor of New York, said: “We love him for the enemies he has made,” alluding to Tam­ many’s opposition. GAS GALORE. It Is Discovered In a Half Dozen Places in the City of Chi­ cago. The [Chicago special.1 There seems little dbubi that natural gas exists under Chicago. Since the first dis­ covery was made at a brewery on the South Bide, three or four weeks ago, several artesian wells in different parte of the city have shown an inclination to spout gas in­ stead of water. In the Leland Hotel artesian well the aqueous has been wholly supplanted by tbe illuminating fluid, and hundreds of rious people daily visit tbe hostelry for tho purpose of viewing the brilliant flame which shoots from the mouth of the bore. Gas has also been discovered in Marshall Field's and Mgndel Brothers' large dry goods stores on State street, and in the National Tube Works, on Clinton and Fulton streets, West Bide. At the Leland Hotel the flow of gas is greater than at any previous time. The volume seems to increase from day to day, and it is now passing through tbo pipe at the rate of twenty cubic feet an hour. Only a portion of the supply is allowed to pass through. Tbe quality is also improved. Tbe heat of tho jet is remarkable. A coil of copper wire was melted in less than a minute, something that cannot be done very easily without tbe oxy-hydrogen blow-pipe. With ordinary gas or gasoline, even when a Bunsen burner and the com­ mon blow-pipe are used, it is impossible to fuse copper. Tbe unusual heating powers of this gas will make it of great value for manufacturing and heating pur- j j • Chics Chicago, Kansas &.

Their agents are scatteied all along the line between here and the end of the Indiana gas belt at Kokomo. They are leasing thousands of acres of land wher­ ever they find any indications of gas. Last wook a tract of 2,000 acres was secured near Valparaiso. The Pittaburghers were on tho ground very soon after tho discovery of the Cooko brewery gas, and carefully inspected the region about Chicago. For some reason or other, they place their faith in the tbecry that there ia no gas under Chicago, but that there are oceans of it near by. They believe the field ia in Indiana. The prospects are favorable near Valparaiao, whence gas could be easily piped into Chicago, a distance of but forty-sevsn miles. In the second Punic war the Roman consul, Claudius Nero, with a picked body of 1,000 hone and 0,000 foot, marched 225 miles in six days, or at the rate of over thirty-seven miles a day. E. ST.

Among all the sports of summer or "winter, in-dour* or out-doors, there is none that excites more popular inter­ wet, when it can be oeeu, than the tug of war, and Ibero in hardly one that walls tor more strength and endurance than thi* game. It baa experienced a peculiar evolution from a crude unrec­ ognized game played by country }>oys, to one of those sport* which take their pluc£fi legitimately aruon^ organized paaflmae by rea*on of their rules and systematic way of going about it It is a distinct feature to-day of college wad regimental exerciser, and tbe great­ est emulation is aroutied between the different institutions which are repre­ sented by tug-of-war teams. Although the sport call* particularly, for •trength of a peculiar kind, it is never­ theless necessary, to accomplish tbo beat result* in it, to utilize tho brain to a considerable extent. People who have not indulged in sports frequently fail to recognize the influence of tho mind upon aucoess in a game, and do not think for a moment that there is any mental stimulus or training or ex­ ercise called for in it Nevertheless it doe* exist to a groat degree, and none the less in the muscular exercise known as the tug cf war. The team has to be cpntrolled and directed by a captain, and ‘hat captain ha* to exercise his mind in the keenest way, has to be on the alert.to watch his opponents, and * has to know a great deal about the dis­ tribution cf force in order to do his . work well. How this comes about may best be told in tho word* of a wellknown member of.a tug-of-war team, Mr. Charles Morrill, formerly of the Dartmouth College team. He sayH of it: “In a well-contested tug of war weight does not count a* much as is ordinarily supposed; brawn and muscle, a good staying power, with ■coolness and a shrewd anchor, ar© what is required. The oxerci*© has advanced u g*eat deal during recent ye»ra under tho fostering influence of college athletes and regimental gym­ nasts. In the old days the method -was a rough, irregular sport, wheroin mon caught hold of ono end of a rope and tried to unll along a similar crowd of men who held on to the other end. Now. there ore very few places whore the'tug of war is pulled, that the game consists iu dragging the other side at nil. There Are several ways of playing it, three of which may bo considered us the most important, and in none of those three doe* the element of pull­ ing tho other crowd enter into it. It is now tbe aim of those who pull in the tug of war to get the rope away from their opponents, and not to drag them about Before taking up the Ameri­ can style of playing, I will describe the method recently adopted in Great Britain. There tho Amateur Athletic Association has lately drawn up a now code of rules to regulate contests of thia nature. They are not all of them new, but they show the difference bc- THE DARTMOUTH STYLE. twei-n the English and tbe American styles of tho game. They prescribe firxt an equal number of competitors, so that the sides may be evenly bal­ anced ; that the rope shall be long «tintich to allow a pull of twelve feet, an.l bav© twelve feet alack at each end, wlnie four feet is allowed for each putter. The rope must not be lea* than four inches in circumference, and shall have no knots or anything which can assist one in retaining one’s grip on it “A tape must be fastened to the cen­ ter of the rope, and at six feet on each side of this center tape a aide tape must also be fastened. * “A center line shall be marked on the ground, and at six feet on either •ide of it two lines shall be mado par­ allel to the eenter line. At tho start tbe rope must be taut, and the center tap© over the center line, the' competi­ tors being outside the aide lines. “The signal to start shall be by word of mouth. During no part of the pull shall tbo foot of a competitor Bb al­ lowed to go beyond the center line. The pull shall be won when one side •hall have polled the side lino of their opponents over their own aide lino. “No competitor shall wear boots or shoes with any projects nails, springs or print* of any kind, nor shall a com­ petitor be allowed to make a hole in the ground with his feet, or any other way, before the n’art No competitor ■hall'willfully touch the ground with *ny part of his person but his feet. If Abe teams have a weight limit each member of tho team must be weighed before the contest Tho tug shall be ■von by two out of three pulls. "Those who aro familiar with tho method of playing this game in colleges and regimental gymnasiums -will uee that those rule* are not followed olosely here. In our games we onlv have one tape upon the rope, which I* fastened exactly at the center, and tbo side­ tape* aud side-lines are not much used. And it will be noticed, too, that ac­ cording to the EngHsK rule, the con­ testanta stand during the trial, and if they should lie down or touch .the ground with any part of their bodv ex------their t ‘ — -----” ------ - . _ ___ With us, on tho conelsim 'louL jiioi THE PACIFIC ROADS. straighten their land to Congress on the College very sueccmfully. gather in the alack in case they get tha There they do not pull upon a board advantage, aud if the other side hapor indoor*, but upon tho turf.

The competitor i* almoat him and let it go a* moment, in order seated in thi* hole, his foot being braced against it* perpendicular wall. Thia, of course, give* the strongest kind of purchase for the puller. “The strain in a tug of war contest really comes upon the whole body, but tho muscles of tbe back arc- perhaps those which are most immediately in use in it The .hand* have to grip the rope very hard in order that it shall not slip through, but there will be no danger that it will slip through it the muscle* of tho body aro strong enough to prevent the other side from pulling harder. The muscles of tho logs are of course very important in thia ex­ ercise as upon them comes a great measure of the strain iu brac­ ing against the wall of dirt. The defeat or victory in this kind of pull is reckoned by the tape upon the rope, which originally ia TAKING TIME AND UMPIRING. placed directly over a middle line be­ tween the two teams, and if it is pulled to prevent hi* men from being pulled more than an inch to ono side or over their cleata. If he should tho other during the time allowed for not let it go, such an event would bo. the contest the victory j* won. This almost sure to happen, and it is, there­ recaHs another essential difference be­ fore, plain that a great deal of re­ tween the English style and the Amer­ sponsibility rest* upon the anchor, who ican.

If the four men not pulled a good distance actually drop to the plauk at the pistol-shot at along the ground the contest was con­ exactly the same instant, they are al­ sidered a draw. The improvements of most sure to get an advantage over to-day necessitate the cxerciae of so the other team, and when the word is much more strength and strain upon given to heave by the anchor, if they all pul) at exactly the same instant the same result is bound to follow. It ■usually happens, therefore, that tho best trained team will win, and weight does not count os much as might be expected. The limit of weight in a team is variable. In the Seventh Reg­ iment it is six hundred and sixty pounds, allowing an average weight of one hundred and sixty-five pound* for each man. The anchor is in almost constant consultation with hi* men dur­ ing the contest He advises them by a quiet word just previous to any order that ho proposes to give. “Concerning weight, I remember a contest pulled in lb85 at Dartmouth. There waa a fat team, each one of whom tipped the beam at over two THE ANCHOR. hundred. The contest was pulled on the pullers that it is usual to limit tho the ‘ fanner's ’ system, with holes in time of the pull to from four to ten the ground, and tho fat team were minute*, five being the ordinarily ac­ fairly pulled out of their holes by light cepted duration.

Their most ancient form waa that of tho epistle dedicatory, in which, while tho author presented the jresult of hi* labors to some gracious patron, or to some relative or intimate friend, he would generally give an outline of hi* plan, its origin, or an explanation of tbe object which he had in view. Plays, poems, and romances had these epis­ tles, as well as works of a serious or critical character. They are generally well worth reading, for often wo come upon passages in them which are of purely personal interest, or which seem to throw a sudden and vivid side-light upon the history of the times in which they were written. The preface “to the reader" was, per­ haps, first adopted because it was found to fill a want which could not be sup­ plied by the epistle dedicatory alone. The patron was not always learned enough, or on sufficiently familiar terms with tho writer to appreciate an account of his difficulties aud his studies; he could not be expected to triumph with when those difficulties were overcome, and those studies were brought to the desired result The “reader" was a vague and unknown, but, possibly, in­ tensely sympathetic person, and if, on the other hand, ho had only taken up the book for tho purposes of hostile criticism, it was but fair to both that a word of warning should be addressed to him, and that in furnishing him with tho author's own weapons—a goodly list of authorities and arguments—ho should bo given to understand in vet plainer language that his judgment was neither respected nor feared. Thia form of preface (to the general reader) is to be found originally in conjunction with tho epistle dedicatory, which it supplemented, and afterward entirely superseded. The dedication was then completely separated from the preface, and became gradually shorter and more natural in expression, till it final­ ly took tho simple form which it bears at tho present day. On the other hand, tho preface became longer and more elaborate, till, in Dr. Johnson's time, it had all the characteristics of a crit­ ical essay. As, for instance, his preface to hi* edition of Shakspeare, to which he added four others, ot the same scope, by bhak*i>eare's other editors, Pope, Theobald, Sir Thoma* Hamner, and Dr. Warburton; while the first four volumes of what are known as hi* “Lives of the Poots" were published by the bookseller* of London as "Pref­ aces biographical and critical of the most eminent of the English poets’*__ what Johnson himself humorously called his “Little lives and little pref­ aces to a little edition of the English phot*."—Gentleman’* Magazine. �dMolatfoo. fell out, but a sketch, ono wonderfully well executed, a most excellent like­ ness of himself, with a roj>e around his neck and a party of vigilanta uat ready to drive the wagon from under his foot and tighten the rope. • “Leucedly well done,'* said Dan to He stopped in surprise, and' well ho “Nothing of importance, mighU.- The tinted sheet held but two it seems ; business affairs A b WB stand ’« old trUndship'a whitening words, aud o they wore: all right I must sell oil “Beware, villain!" those herds.

When tbe city had capitulated, I en­ tered with the rest who were sent to take formal possession, and found the street which led toward the quay facing the point where we were direct­ ed to march led directly past the house which George had pointed out as that of Don Corrulla. as I loo'.ed upon the blaolcaned walls I felt a strong anxiety to enter it and try and find out the fate of George’s betrothed, and obtained leave for a few minutes from my Captain.

"One of tbe beat teste of a pitcher’s skill which the progress of a game pre­ sents is that afforded by the position iu which the first man at the bat id an innings play makes a three-base hit, •and (obliges the pitcher to put forth his very beet efforts in the form of skill­ ful strategic play in the position, in or­ der to pro i-ant the baso-runner from scoring his run. A striking illustra­ tion of this point wm shown in the Contest at Philadelphia on May 21, be­ tween the Philadelphia and Chicago teams. In the eighth innings of this game, while tbe Chicago team were within one of tying the’ Philadelphia team’s score, Sunday, the Chicago out­ fielder, opened the innings at the bat with a dean base-hit to left center field, on which ho earned third base. Ferguson was in the box m the Phila- delphia pitcher, and the point he had to attend to wm to keep Sunday on third while pitching out the next three batsmen. Ho began by retiring Ryan —the next batsman—out on strikes. Sullivan came next, and after two strikes had been called on him he wm retired on n foul fly. Next camc'Daly, and he, too, after barely escaping being put out on strikes, wm finely caught, out on a sharp fly tip, and this left Sunday omthird. base, the innings play ending in a blank. It wm a feat in strategic pitching well worthy of apecial record. ■ “In the contest at Chicago, ^>n Sept 15, between tho Chicago and New York teams, a point of play occurred which plainly pointed out the necessity for the introduction of an amendment to the rules regulating tho position at tho bat of players whose names are printed on tho score cards. The play in ques­ tion waa m follows: Tho score card, in naming the order ot butting, placed the names of “O’Rourke or \Brown" m tho occujiant • of the catcher’s position on the New York side, and tbe order of their batting as fifth on the list, while the names of Nelson and O’Rourke were placed eighth on the list m third-base players. That is. if BADFOBD'S THTFUB PLAY. O’Rourke caught, Nelson wm to play third base, and if Brown caught, O’Rourke was to play third. Accord­ ing to the order as placed on the card, if O’Rourke played at third base ho was to be the eighth striker, but if he played as catcher then his batting order would have been fifth. In the fifth inning O’Rourke, who had been playing third base, went to the bat after Connor, and in accordance with the order of the card was not in his E roper position to bat O’Rourke then it the ball for a home-run, and as he cume in Anson stepped upto the um­ pire and claimed that the run could not count as O'Rourke had batted out of order, and his appeal was granted, 'and the ran declared no count The New-Yorkers claimed that as both O’Rourke and Brown's names were on tho card for fifth plaeo either’ had the right to bat; but this was not so, inas­ much as the position alone gave the right to bat and M O’Rourke wm down to play both m catcher and third base the order belonged to the position he filled; m that was third base, his bat­ ting order was eighth on tho list. As it happened tbe loss of the run by the Now York team did not result in that of the game, as New York won by 4 to 3. But the incident showed very plainly that the rule governing the play should be changed so m to. give the legal order of batting under such cirenm stances. "In one of the May games between the Louisville and Baltimore teams at Louisville Hecker and Werrick played a successful trick on tho visiting bats­ men in the following manner: Thu play in question occurred in the second in­ nings while Dawca wm on first base and Fulmer on second. Fulmer made an attempt to steal to third base, and fn doing so tho fielders alleged that he bad riin out of the line of the base to avoid the ball in the hands of the bueman, Werrick, but the umpire decided Fulmer safe. During the dispute over tbe decision Werrick, wbo held the ball, had it up his sleeve, and when the um­ pire—Eddy Cuthbert—called play at the close of the dispute Hecker entered the pitcher’s box and acted m if ho had the ball in hand ready to deliver it to the bat Fulmer, deceived by this action, left tho base he had previously occumed and stood ofi it ready to run homdr As he did so, Werrick slipped the ball from up his sleeve and laugh­ ingly went up to Fulmer and touched him out greatly to the amusement of the astonished crowd looking on, Dot one of whom had noticed where the ball had gone. It wm a lesson to Ful­ mer to make a special note of the old base-ball saying, ‘keep your eye on Uifi bait’ "On July 9 the Metropolitan team met the Cincinnati]* on the home Sands, and on the occasion found mselves opposed to the strong bat­ tery fire of Pitcher Mullane, who on that day wm in fine form for his beat strategic work in the box. In addition to the effective pitching of Mullane, the splendid support given behind the bat by Catcher Baldwin wm especially a noteworthy feature of the contest But the Metro|K>litaus also played a remarkably fine game, and the moat st. iking feature of it was the splendid triple play „ ,__ .. of Radford. who ___ ,waa ___ ■ piay. ing ’second bass for them ou the ec­ canton. Baldwin wm at the bat, Carthird. Both the runners hod taken ground in base running and were ready to start on the first fair hit. Baldwin caught the hall square on tbe bat and hit a hot liner just as both the runners ran for their respective bases. But Radford caught the swift line ball beautifully, and touching second base with it before Carpenter could get back, promptly threw the ball to third base in time to cut off .Tebean. Tebean. This put the side out by a model triple play, and Bodford’s skillful performance brought out tumultuous applause. "One of the saddest events of the season of 1887 was the fatal occur- DEATH OX THE FIELD. rcnce at Lincoln, Nebraska, on June 13, which resulted in the death of young Edward Likely, of Lincoln. The accident did not occur in a match game, but only while a party of ball players were practicing for a contest arranged for the next day. The party of half a dozen or so were playing when young Likely took the bat and stepped up to the home plate for a hit Harry Claskey waa the pitcher, and he wns sending in very swift balls. As Likely struck at tho ball it just touched tho bat near tho handle and glanced off liko a ride shot to tho ba'sman’s face, striking the latter with such force as to cause him to fall unconscious with Ills head striking tho ground squarely on tho top. Ho was taken up insensible and carried from the field to the near­ est hotel, whero ho was promptly at­ tended to by physicians. But he never rallied from the effects of the blow aud fall combined, and within ten minutes time tho poor boy was dead. He was a bright youth, just twenty-tinoe years of age, and highly esteemed by his companions. Various theories as to the immediate cause of death were ad­ vanced, but it is probable that it was due mainly to tho severe shock to tbe nerve center. The blow on the face was not alono sufficient to have caused death. It wm the only actual death on the ball field last season. “A curious incident happened in the contest of May 16th, nt Bridgeport, Conn., between the Bridgeport and Danbury teams. It is a rule of the Eame that any ball hit from the bat can o legally caught, provided it is not caught on a rebound from tho ground,, and an object other than the person of a fielder. But if it is caught after re­ bounding from the hands or the person ot any fielder engaged in the game the catch is a legitimate one. In the case in question a high ball was batted to tho field, and both Lovett and Wilson ran to catch it. Tho ball os it fell first struck Wilson’s hands, but singular to relate, after he had three times failed to hold it securely ns it rebounded from his hands, it went to Lo«|ptt's hands, who was standing close by ready to assist in the catch, v But Lovett simi­ larly failed to hold tho ball securely, and on the second rebound from his hands Wilson grasped it, and this time tbe catch was made, after five distinct failures to make tho catch before the ball could reachTha ground. “In looking over tho striking events of tho last season, mention should not bo omitted of the records made in rapid base-running. Prizes had been oflered for superiority in this, matter, and tho contests took place at Phila­ delphia on Oct. 17. The 120 yards tun is very different from the same distance straight away, and •’Acords in this feat are novel. It is to be hoped that the contests be continued in coming seasons, as it will improve the game 1O 43 and add a new feature of interest) to the sport.

HEN Jim Gregory . told Skete that InX dions hated “nig­ gers,” ho' told the truth for once in his life at least Poor old Skete, wearied with his tramp and hungry from insufficient food, fully realized all tho danger and horror of his posi­ tion. “Reckon dey’ll stake.

But den I couldn’t leab Massa i airleigh an’ dear Miss Nora, that is, ’less I done os ole Miss Grant —she runned aw.iy ’cause ob dese yer Indians. Golly! wonder what dey will do wid ole Skete?” _ But he was rudely pushed into a tent where au old squaw waa cooking a mesa of herbs, and no further atten­ tion was paid to him. The stars came out Oh, how bright­ ly they twinkled among the white­ capped mountains! There was only a mere patch of sky visible through the tent The scene was altogether differ­ ent from the level, far-reaching prai­ ries that Skete had been accustomed to of late years. “Wonder if dey will give dis yer darky any supper? Lor, but I be hungry! Done 1 wish I was back indo ole ranch helpin’ Miss Nora cook. Gollv, I’d fly round! But de ole ranch is gone, and Massa Fairleigh’s gone, and by an’ by ole Skete he’ll be gone, too. I do wish ’fore de Lor’ Miss Nora hod dese yer papers, or I knowed some one ns would take ’em to her. If I don’t beliebe hero come my supper!" Skete was right Tbe old squaw entered with a bowl of some kind of » mess and set it before. him with a grunt, and to Skete the odd, dirty mixture was delicious. While the braves were consulting to­ gether what was best to do with their black captive, whether to let him run the gauntlet or to burn him at the stake, and many other horrible meas­ ures, Skete settled it himself. Perhaps it was tiie supper, perhaps the friendly stretch of the majestic mountains heavenward that recalled the old home in Virginia and the old plantation days and their songs, for as old memories'crowded upon him Skete forgot the danger surrounding him, his cruel red foes, and began to sing, low at first, in a soft, crowing way, but louder and stronger until the old plantation songs and queer hymns rang out and echoed through the canyons. Tbe .'ndian, to whose ear the slight­ est sound is distinguishable, to tho call of birds attuned, even tho rustle of b leaf or the footfall of the panther conscious, could not fail to appreciate tbe natural sweetuess and melody of Skete’s voice. Only a verv few knew the meaning of the words, but every one, little and big, understood perfectly the music. Skete had been the boss singer in the old plantation days; many a spell­ bound audience he had held, but he predating a crowd before. Tha children and squaws first began to draw Dear, and then tho braves. Skote at last became conscious of his surroundings and his audience, and with a Dew indescribable hope in his .heart, he fairly outdid himself. At last, when all the old plantation songs had, been sung, he took up the hymas hia .voting mistress need to sing to her fatlier, and when they were ex­ hausted he l>egan to whistle the waltzes the piano. But even they had an end. and Skate thincB. but in reality endeavoring to get hold of fire-arms. Only a few really good pieces had been left in th© camp, but one of these, the rifle, was in the tout of an old in­ valid brave, ’but whoes eyes were still sharp. Skete was not discourage.!, though, at the difficulties before him, and re­ sob ed to make tho attempt. Just at nightfall, he crept around to whe e tbe rifle rested, and, by cutting a hole ia tho tent, managed to abstract it, alou; with the accouterments. “I reckon I'll have to leab Vie re­ volver, ’ ’cause I can’t find non-j no­ where.

Negroes have to help pay these taxes. The South Carolina legislature is con­ sidering two measures for pensioning disabled soldiers and sailors of the Con federate army and navy reaidingin that state. One bill provides for a pension of sixty dollars a year for ex-Confeder­ ates and tbe widows of those who died in the service, while the other contem­ plates the erection of a home for tho disabled. The two bill* will probably cost the state annually about $188,000, and the school facilities provided in that state for both blacks and whites are notoriously insufficient.

Although the toboggan slides of the Northeast and Northwest aro groaning under the weight of thousands of merry coasters; although the snow-covered boule­ vards of our great cities throughout tbe North ore thronced with sleighloads of merry people, whose laughter mingles with the joyous jingle of tho bells; aud notwithstanding that the eyes of every lover of w inter festivities in no lees than a dozen of the most populous States of tho Union are turned toward St, Paul in anticipation of the coming carnival of tho loo King and his subjects in that city, tho columns of the great dally papers, of the country aro beginning to fill up with gossip—specula­ tive and newsy—m to the probabilities of the coming- mmou in connection with tho great national gamo of tha Americans —base-ball. This year as in years past the teams of the National League located at Chicago. Detroit, Indianapolis, Pittsburg, Philadelphia, Washington. Boston and New York will, judging from their com­ plexion at the prevent time, give to Ameri­ cans ttie doiK-at contest and tbe most fin­ ished exhibition of the beauties of the game. Lart year throe or four very weak teams left the race almost absolutely in the hands of four clube. New York, Philadel­ phia, Chicago, and Detroit. This year, however, the condition of things will be re­ freshingly different. Pittsburg Lm not been idle since the season of ltft>7 closed. With commendable enterprise its team manage™ have been keeping their eyes open lor everything in tho way' of playing talent that promised to strengthen its ranks, with tho result that they have secured four or five new mon who will surely add very greatly to the playing strength of the team next summer. The latest capluxe of thia club ia that of Billy Sunday, the promising outfielder and sprinter of tho Chicago Club. Chicago people aro by no means pleased over Sun­ day's release, bh ho hnd many friends in this city who think that tbe management of tho Chicago Club has made a mi-take in lotting the player go. President Spalding says, in explanation of hia action: “Sunday was released to Pittsburg against my judgment a.;d against that of Captain Anson, but under tho circum­ stances I could not do other than I did. That we let him go is due to the continued harsh criticisms of one or two of the Chi­ cago paper*. Tho result was that we took Sunday off the field, because we found that the more the papers said the more it unfix­ ed him for work, and tl.e moro errors ho made. He simply could not stand news­ paper criticism. There was but one thing left for me to do, and that was to rolvase him to some club that could offer him op­ portunities that ho couid uot get ia Chi­ cago. He wanted to go to Pittsburg, and I let him co there. If the Pittsburg club handles tho boy in tho right way be will prove a valuable man to it next season. He is as honest as a Quaker, and a ball player from his feet up. I never knew any man to cto better work in tbe field than Sunday at <me6 did for us. He is sensitive, how­ ever, and does not htand newsp iper criti­ cism well." Tbe Indianapolis scorns to be bracing up, and, in addition to Paul Hines, says that it will secure two or three other playen next season that will enable it to play ball along with tho rest of them. Detroit will have about the same old team next year. Phila­ delphia will have practically the same team, with tho addition of two or three promising now men. Chicago and New York have Htrengthenedkwouderfully. and will doubt­ less make a tight race for tbe penuont. “New,York will have a great team in the field next season.’’ Mid Capt. Anson, tho other day, "but none of you want to fail Io keep your aye on Chicago. Chicago will win the pennant of 1888 dead sure, or I shall be a very badly fooled man." The American Association Las finally filleu in its circuit by appointing Kansas City as the eighth dub in ita circuit. Jixn Whitfield, who was connected with the league riub of 188G in that city, went to Cincinnati, and was present at last week's meeting in that city to represent, as he said, Kansas City capitalists, who were willing to establish a club there. So Kan­ sas City was finally admitted to tbe circuit. Now, it happens that tbe new Western As­ sociation, composed of Chicago, St Louis. Kansas City, Milwaukee, St Paul, Min­ neapolis, Omaha, and Des Moines, han a club in Kansas City, and President Sam Morton, of the Western Association, iu nat­ urally very sore at the prospect of tho As­ sociation locating an opposition club there. Last month the new Western As­ sociation was admitted tn tbo protection of tho national agreement, under which no association can establish a club in a city already occupied by another Msociation, witbout the latter association's consent. Wh**n asked what he, ae tbe President of the Western Association, would do in the matter. Sam Morton said: “I should not be forced to take anv steps in that direction myself. The protect on afforded ua as the result of our i ecent meetinj with tbe Arbitration Committee at Cincinnati should alone prove a prevent­ ive to auy other organization entering Western Association territory. If West­ ern Association clubs cannot get protec­ tion that far, what good is tbe National Agreement to them? “Suppose they go ahead and locale a club there auy way, in violation of your agree­ ment, what would your people do?" he was "Simply frame articles of agreement to govern the minor leagues of tho country. Our principal safeguard would be a rule to permanently blacklist from all leagues und obrelations under our agreement any player who leaves a minor league club to accept a position in any National League or Asso­ ciation club, without first having secured .his release from tbe minor league club with which be i« playing at the time. I think such an agreement would give as all the protection we wanted, for I tell you a young player would think twice before uncere­ moniously jumping a minor league for a National League club when be knew that such action upon his part would forever debar him from playing in any minor league club in case he proved u failure with tbe big dobs.” ■ DIAMOND OO8BIP.

Congressional Morals Improving. Along with the improvement in social* ethics, which tbe increased home lifeof Congressmen indicates, the tone of Congress has been wonderfully raised, even in the last ten years. Tho old bogie of Congressmen getting drank, and sleeping off tbe effects in thecloak-rooms, to swagger upon the floor unkempt and unshorn, is entirely van­ ished. It is no longer a joke"for a. Congressman to make his appe&ranceat tbe Capitol or anywhere in Washing­ ton the least tipsy. In the rare cases when it happens in (‘ongrew the mem­ ber’s friends hustle him off the floor, pack him into a carriage and drive him to the safest place where it can bekept quiet, and the whole thing istreated as it should be—as a scandal and a disgrace that every friend the* culprit has iu interested in hushing up. Then tbe gleeful ghouls are always in-, the press gallery, ready to expose such tilings—and thb sentiment of the ageis wholly opposed to it. The am­ bling and drinking of forty yea ..gowould not be tolerated for an instant, to-day; and taken as ayrbole the Con­ gress of the United States is as orderly and wcll-regulated-is any body of men in the world. There are men in it whorank ns “steady drinkers," but thev generally belong t > the old regime,, and their drinking is of the kind thatdoes -not produce drunkenness.___ Washington cor.

The^ Nation st Museum at Washing­ ton has one *1 tho first locomotive* in the country, and I think it has the one upon which Peter Cooper acted a* en­ gineer. Here is tho original Morse telegraph instrument, and it was on this instrument that the first tele­ graphic message in the world wa* bc-dL This line ran from Washington to Bal­ timore, and the first word* were: " Whafhath God wrought?” Shortly after tho line was completed there was a political convention held at Baitimore, which nominated a President •ud Vice FreaidenL The Vice Presi­ dential candidate was at Washington, and he was Silo* Wright, then United .States Senator. Ho telegraphed a declination of the nomination, but the convention would not trust tbe tele­ graph on such an important matter, and they came by cart to Washington to persuade him to accept the accotid place on the ticket with Polk. He re­ fused, however, and Dallas was nom­ inated. Morse eventually made a fortune out of the telegraph, and in 1859 some of the foreign powers made him a present of $-0,(Hi0. lhe King of Prussia gave him a gold snuff-befr, and he received a prosent from the Sultan of Turkey of a decoration belonging to the court in diamonds. Still, while his bill was before Congress, he said one day, that he had enough mcaey to pay his board and get out of Washington if tho bill did not pass. It wa* passed the lost day of the Congress of 1843, aud it gave him $30,000 to build an experimental line between "Washington and Baltimore. He first tried to put the wire in a lead pipe in the ground, but finally adopted the polo system which is now in use. To show how little the poople then knew oLthe telegraph, no less a man than tbo Secretary of the Treasury asked Morse how large a bundle could l>c sent over tho wires, and he wanted to ki.ow whether it might not bo pos­ sible fdr the United States mail to be carried by them. A Congressman brought a bundle of dirty shirts to the telegraph office in the Capitol and wanted them sent to Baltimore for washing. Dolly Madison sent a mes­ sage to a friend of hers in Baltimore find tho telegraph was tho great ex­ citement of the hour. Morse at this time offered his whole right in the patent to the Government for $100,­ 000, and was, fortunately for him, laughed at and refused. ' It was upon this that the Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph Company, during tho time it was fighting the Western Union, based it* claim to be the oldest telegraph company in tho world, in that it held this line between Washing­ ton and Baltimore upon which xnesHttges wero first sent Now tho United States has 164.954 miles of telegraph wire instead of 40, and it surpasses the other countries of the world in its tele­ graph business. The whole world bos more than 600,000 miles of telegraph lines, or enough to put a wire twentyfour times around the whole world and have some thousands of miles to spare. China has only 341 miles of wire, and when you consider that it* population is perllap* six timesthat of tho United States you can sco what immense op­ portunity is open to such a scheme as that of Wharton Barker aud Mitkiowicz. China has just 22-100 of a mile of wire to every 1,000 square mile* of territory, or in round numbers, hardly more than a foot of wire to every square mile of her territory. Belgium, on the other hand, which has perhaps the most telegraph wire in proportion to its territory, has one-half mile of wire to each square mile of territory, and Franco has one-third of a mile of wire to each square mile of her area. In all Europe there is not much more than twice the amount of telegraph line* that there are in tho United States, and we send about 70,000.000 message* a year to half that number by Great Britain. Japan is rapidly increasing as a telegraphic nation, and it sends more than 3,000,000 messages a year. It is it* activity in this regard that has Btirred up China, and I am told bv travelers that the enterprise of the Japanese is having great influence up­ on their Chinese neighbors.

Low-preaaure gas ex­ ists here, either in the ah’ido or the Niag­ ara rook, in sufficient volume bo that the supply from a aix-inch well, when freed from water, will be quite lame enough to furnish fuel and light for IbA largest es­ tablishments in tho city. The pressure, of course, is not strong enough to admit of the use of mains from which to dis­ tribute the gas at pointe distant from tbe mouth of the well, but the flow is held to be large enough from a single well to supply light and fuel to tho extent of from $500 to $1,000 a month, or about $10,000 a year. Thia calculation is based upon a test jointly made by C. H. Dabney and J. H. Ralston, the result of -which is decid­ edly interesting. Both of these gentle­ men hold that tho gas supply, found so far, comes from the Trenton limestone, and that it rises through fissures in the shale and other formations. But this sig­ nifies nothing in tho present instance, ex­ cept that if correct it shows that Chicago will shortly have high-presaure gas. - They have hit upon a way of separating the water from the gas at the bottom of the wells, or. in other words, o'f converting the waler well into a dry one, admitting of a gaa flow only. The process by which this end is achieved is Ire the use of pipes and rubber packing. Tho Leland gas has now been burning twenty-two days continu­ ously. The pressure or volume of supply Las steadily increased from tbe start, and is more than four times greater than it was when discovered. Tbe greatest natural gas flows yet dis­ covered, although neither of the wells has been burning long, are at the Chicago Rawhide Works on East Ohio street, and at tbe brewery of Wacker A Birk on North Desplalnes street Tho pressure at the latter poibt already indicates a volume of 800 cubic feet a day, and it is believed that when tbe water is removed from the well it will increase to 8,000 cubic feet per day. A small gasometer has been put in at the rawhide works, and a natural gas flame is burning there from 10 to 15 inches high, from tho end of.a 2-incb pipe, upon which an improvised bnnier bos been plsced. Tho pressure is about equal to that at AV acker A Birk’s. Experiments made by Dre. Wahl and Henio* show that the gas is found, in all cases, in the Niagara limestone, within forty feet of its upper surface, or from 90 to 130 feet below the surface, which is, on an average, about 550 feet above kb leveL tention to bls mining internets in Alaska.

I began tying the children toge&er. and when I had completed this task I fastened one end of ths string to my arm and awaited devel­ opments. Very soon the roof of the build­ ing blew off, and I said, ‘Conn on chil­ dren.' and we started.

"I thought at one time we should be lost, and I came near losing hope, for I was nearly exhausted. You see I was carrying the smallest child— a little girl—and my talking to the children and urging them to keen up their spirits tried mo veiy much. W'hen we were about half-way to the house one of the boys, about 6 years old, said: * Teacher, I can’t go any farther,’ but I told him if he did not come along I *#ould whip him, and it was remaitable to see how that child exert­ ed himself afterward.

Realizing she was lost, she fell on her knees and prayed God to lead her to a haystack and protect her through the storm. Rising und stumbling forward she soon ran up against a stack on tho prairie and dug into it with her hands and cov­ ered herself wiih hay, and the snow drifted over her to such an extent that she was imprisoned there from Thursday noon until Sunday night (when she was found Miss Feeeman then spoke of the large number of tetters *be bad received since the story of b-rr bravery got into print Most of them were naturally of a compli­ mentary nature, but nine contained offers of marriage.

Embracing a Tew Seasonable Hints About the Latest Styles in The woman who has tho money and time to be intensely and altogether fashionable usually racks her braip, and draws heavily upon her purse, in a struggle for novelty. The newest de­ velopment in this line ta called the ■Cleopatra bath robe. Even in the houses of the rich tho bathroom ta nothing like tho gorgeous bathing apartments of the ancient Bomans and Egyptians, but in some cases it ta eotneChing like a small section of the ancient splendors. Whether tbo mis­ tress of a fine house has a gorgeously tiled bathroom, or only tbe ordinary thing, ahe can bo luxurious in her use of it To that end she may envelop herself, after her lavatory indulgence, in a garment juado of a thick but soft and fleecy blanket, such as uro often brought to the East from the Pacific coast, and which oust at retail from ten to twenty dollars. The garmentta loosely fashioned out of this material, and it has a toga-like .appearance, with its classic drapery. But the white woolen surface is not left as clear and primitive as were those garments. "There are two methods of decoration in vogue for these bath robes. One ta to embroider them, and the other ta to riint them. In either case considera­ te of really skillful art may be em-’ ployed in deaerating the robe with flowers. Bibbons and fringes may also be attached, and altogether the wearer, although only attired for seclusion, aud by all the laws of propriety bound to scream and run if discovered by mas­ culine eyes, ta really arrayed in about as much* splendor, of its kind, os though going to a ball. The next picture shows, by way of contrast, a model .ball toilet that does not depart at all from the dictates of current fashion. Tho draped edge of the corsage, the big banquet, the ar­ rangement of the hair, the wide ribbon ■on the upper skirt—all are new and conventional: Tbe fabrics best liked for fashionable boll dresses are as usual, light and diaphanous in texture, and ot moet varied designs and patterns. Many materials in tullo and muslin are MODERN CLEOPATRA ■old favorites, but real novelties have been added to the list Tho new gauze and crape tissue*, embroidered in ailk of the same, or a different hue, often augmented with motifs in gold thread, shaded chenille, glittering glass, or metallic beads, make charm­ ing toilets. Other beautiful stuffs, for tho same purpose, are broche gauzes, flowered either with velvet or boucle de soie, forming a raised j/utlern on a dull or demi-transparent foundation, thin gauzes, spotted with chenille or soie boucle, and of a most delightful transparence and softness, and ailk crapes, and silks, embossed with a thousand ravishing designs. A lovely new stuff ta lace tulle, striped and em-_ broidered with silk of the same color, mixed with gold thread or fine gold fiord. Tissues woven in alternate stripes of open insertion Or satm or faille ribbon, are among the most ad­ mired novelties. There ta on immense variety in the patterns and texture of the new silken materials. Plain and moire silks are combined with figured broche silks and satins, chiefly in stripes. Some plain moire silks are seen, striped with the same material in satin. tho wider stripes ornamented with garlands of flow­ ers. Broche ]>ekins with scattered flower* in their natural colors on the light or dark satin stripes are employed for dressy evening toilets, especially for married ladies. Very costly silk dresses for the evening for yooog ladies are of delicate hues embroidered with •ilk to correspond. Hound skirts with almost flat panels, redingote style, are becoming more and more adopted by ■women of taste. For instance one panel. slightly draped on the hips, forms the tablier. ,made of sicilienne, moire, or some rich silk; two panels, fuller, and gauzed a little at tbe waist from the sides, showing the full or pleated skirt of gauze or some light material be­ neath. To unite tablier and panels, festoons of moire ribbon are beauti­ fully looped across them. At the back ia a plain pleated drapery, or a large sash bow of wide moire ribbon. The corsage should have a festooned berthe of moire ribbon to match.

This is Russia's annual crop of criminals, men and women who have carried on war with society, and in the conflict have been worsted. Among them aro a few thousand prisoners who are classed us politicals, that is, the men who have carried on agitation against the existing state of govern­ ment in Rusia, whom we call tiocial. ists or Anarchists, but who are better known as Nihilists, the destroyers. Among them are a goodly number of' tlie students who have recently been attempting petty revolution against the University authorities at Moscow*, and are the Gniteaus of Russia.who believe in destruction rather than develop­ ment. who in despair shoot their arrows ■gun.l the luinu »ml m themidro* the victims. Their favorite target for some years past has been the Czar, whose life has been made a burden to him ever since his coronation, and who may yet fall a victim to the assass n’s bomb, as did his father, Alexander II. Then the exile army of Siberia would again be largely increased, the tele­ graph would throb with the dread news over the vast empire ruled by the White Ozar, from the Baltic to the Black Sea, from Orenburg to Merv, and along the grpat line that extends four thousand miles from Ekataringburg to the shores of tbo Pacific. And whore the tele­ graph ends the news would be sent by­ couriers in sleds from governor to gov­ ernor, from ispravnick to ispravnick, until the news reached the Tonguse and the Tchnkchecs dwelling on tho shores of'the Polar Ocean from the White Sea to Behring’s Straits. Wffen tho news of the assassination of Alexander II. reached Irkutsk, tbe courier who took the dispatches from tbo Governor General of Eastern Si­ beria to the Governor of Irkutsk, two thousand miles further to tbe north, tho great journey was mode within nine days, and the story of it causes a Yemshik to this day to shiver. But tbe officer did this at high pressure, eating and sleeping iu his slud, and beating horses and drivers with his whip when speed was not rapid enough for him. In one place, however, he nearly came to grief. Tho Yomshika refused longer to submit to his thrashings, and gath­ ering round him, and supported by an entire village of able-bodied men, as­ sumed a very threatening attitude. The officer had to draw his revolver in order to defend himself, but it is certain be would Dot have been allowed to,pro­ ceed further hud ho not told the people tho value of the important news ot which he was tho bearer. On his re­ turn from Irkutsk the officer was called to account for his brutality on tho road, but as the nature of his mission was supposed to justify tho harsh measures employed, ho received only a slight punishment. Whether ho mot with adventures with wolves on his journey is a matter which may be left unde­ cided. ’ Wolves are not very plentiful A RUSSIAN COURIER EN ROUTE. a large number of persons who are classed as "suspects,’’ and banished by judicial authority without trial. It may be that if the cable reports from St Petersburg respecting a new at­ tempted assassination of the Czar turn out to be true, a small regiment of stu­ dents from St. Petersburg will be add­ ed to the army of Siberian exiles, for it is from this class tbat the great army of exiles is steadily recruited. It would be of interest to seek tho reason why the student classes of Rua•ia furnish so many revolutionists. The young men are, for the most part, •one of poor people of the peasant claai, who receive free instruction at these institutions of learning, which, •trange to say, produce more discon­ tent than the army itself, comparative­ ly speaking. In this case the old ad­ age that a Itttle learning is a danger-ous thing seems to hold good. The revolt is usually the result of despair. The young men are educated for po­ sitions beyond their usual station in life; they have learned to hope to take RUSSIAN STUDENT. on Siberian post roads, but then who ever heard of a Siberian adventure in which they did not take part? But lot ns glance at a Siberian post­ road—a beautiful sledding-ground 3,000 miles long, dotted every ten or fifteen miles with sleds bearing exiles to east­ ward, or with the convoys of unfortu­ nates wearily plodding through the snow, tho chains on their legs chinking musically in tho crisp air, with the guards, like themselves, shivering in the biting blast of the ponrge. A strange feeling comes over you when, ensconced among your rugs in your comfortable sled, you first hear the clank of the exiles' chains. You look out and there you sie a procession, on the march from one steppe prison to another. It is fully three months since they left Moscow,in the bright autumn days. They were transported to NishniNovgorod by rail; then they were transferred to the big cages on the exile steamboats as far os 1’erm; then by rail across the Urals to Ekaterin­ burg, and then further by steamboat to Tomsk. Then tbe weary marching commences in earnest: winter has come, but the great army must be kept on tho march so as to leave the temporary prisons vacant for their successors. They are on their way to Irkutsk, or to tlie mines on the Lena, or of the Transbaikal. Their fetters are fastened round the legs just above tho knees, so that though they can walk they cannot run away. They axe the worst class of dangerous criminals. After the chain­ gang, who march ahead, preceded by soldiers with loaded rifles and fixed bayonets, follow sledges or wagons with the sick, the weak and exhausted, and tho women and children. In one such army I noticed several women and boys and girls who wan­ dered freely alongside the men. They were the wives and children of some of the exiles. The former were peasant women, generally with coarse features, whose appearance was not calculated to awaken much sympathy. Yet they had women’s loving hearts, had once been young and beautiful, had sworn to love, honor and cherish their hus­ bands till death should them part; and they had willingly forsaken Civilization to follow them to the unknown, in spite of tho fact tbat a sentence of banish­ ment at the same time is one of divorce. Rome of the men were most debased and wretched-looking creatures—cut­ throats, who looked as if banishment were not more than a sufficient punish­ ment for them. But all exiles are not traveling over the Siberianwnow wastes thus painfully. Those who can afford an interest and a share in the govern­ ment; but they find themselves ex­ cluded from all official positions; they sure too proud to return to the occupa­ tions of their fathers, and they indulge fn revolt that brings them in the chain <*nga, or at least in the convoys that •re sent from Moscow every year the journey to their destination as com­ •astward to the land of snow aud des­ fortably as the ordinary traveler.

It has been called the civilized beings and compelled to re­ turn to primeval methods of securing an existence by hunting and fishing. The so-called political exiles are perhaps.the 'unha->piest, because they aro not allowed to do any kind of work, but are kept in enforced idleness and al­ lowed a small sum monthly for the necessaries of life.

' At thnt point of time touched by th© earliest ray of historic knowledge, the eye of the student ct human annals sees occupying the Spanish peninsula a race of men called Iberians. These old Iberians were not a tribe or a clan, but a people, numerous and po­ tential, with a fully developed and virile language, skilled in arms and the working of precious metals, and industriously commercial. This Ltuch can bo clearly inferred from the extent of their territory and the remnant of them, with their characteristics and habits, which still remain. This old people, themselves a colony from some other country, once existent and highly civilized in the remote past, spread from tho Mediterranean Sea to the slopes of the Pyrenees, and all over Southern Gaul, as far as tho Rhone, and flowed westward with a movement so forceful that it included all the British Islands. All this happened •1000 to 5000 B. C. They are older than tho Egyptians probably by 1,000 years, and were strong enough to attempt the conquest of tho known world. These Iberians colonized Sicily. They were this original settlerain Italy, and pushed their way northward os far as Norway and Sweden, where con still bo found among the present in­ habitants their physical characteristics —dark skin and jet black hair. This ancient people were not barbarians, but highly civilized. (They had the art of writing and ft /literature. Poetry was cultivated. Their laws were set in verse, and fort these laws thus written they claimed an antiquity of t‘,000 years. | This ancient race has passed away, as all great races do. The rise and decline of a jieople ore os a day. “They have a sunrise, a noon, a sunset, and there remains of them and their splen­ dor nothing but a gloaming, a twilight of u thousand years, Derhaps, and af­ ter that oblivion’s starless nights.

In Southern Europe the remnant of this antique race, the fragment of a root with tho old-time vigorous sap in it, may still be found. There, on the Spanish peninsula where its cradle was rocked, tho grave of a once powerful race is being slowly sodded; for there still live that strange people called tho Basques. It matters not to-day what they are—chiefly mountaineers, I think—tut they aro of the old Iberian stock, and the Iberians wore colonists from some unknown land, prehistoric, undiscoverable by us. Colonists and colonizers also. From some unknown land, hidden from us in the gloom of ages, these Iberians came to Southern Europe in ships. To Sicily they went in ships; to Britain and Ireland; to Norway also, and where else, or how far or for what, is left to conjecture. But being strong in numbers, ambi­ tious to conquer, skilled in navigation, wo can well believe that they pushed their flag and commerce nigh to the ends of tho world. How Camphor I< Made. Camphor is made in Japan in this way: A fter a tree is felled to the earth it is cut into chips, which are laid in a tub or u large iron pot partially filled with water and placed over a slow fire. Through holes in the bottom of the tub steam slowly rises, and heating tho chips generates oil and camphor. Of course, the tub with the chips Uasaclosely fitting cover. From this cover a bam­ boo pipe leads to a succession of other tubs with bamboo connections, and the last of these tubs is divided into two compartments, one above the other, tho dividing floor being perforated with small holes to allow the water and oil to pass to the lower compartment. The upper compartment is supplied with a straw layer, which catches and holds the camphor in crystal in de­ posit as it passes to the cooling process. Tlie camphor is then separated from tho straw, packed in wooden tubs, and is ready for market l bs oil is used by the natives for illuminating aud other purposes.

Twilight was closing in fast, and tho moon had not yet risen. The weird landscape of towering mountains, deep canyons and dangerous trails was not very cheering when one was anx­ ious to press on rajridly. But Skete possessed one excellent quality, and that was patience. By and by the moon crept out from behind a brow of a mountain, and ena­ bled Skete to distinguish the very faint trail and form some idea of tlie’direc­ tion he was taking. Ho had come now to a more level spot through whose gentle undulations a small mountain stream flowed slowly. There was grass and a few trees, most­ ly of spruce pine, and bunches of email cottonwoods and wild plums. But where ho was really, and where he wanted to go, was the least thing Skete knew; he had a dim conception that he would get I ack to the prairies after awhile, if he just Kept moving on. So he kept moving on, until another dsv opened, and onee more he sought a sheltered nest in uhich to hide and rest, and allow his pony to graze. He was aware he had not passed over many miles, owing to the dangerous passes and roughness of the way. Another day passed in comparative quiet and safety, and as the aiternoon began to wane, Skete once more began his tedious journey, knowing that, as the moon did not rise until so late, be must now continue his trail in the day­ time, and besides, as tbo way was more dangerous now, and the trail more ob­ scure, Skete trusted much to the in­ stinct of his pony in following it Several days passed in thii very mo­ notonous style, but one evening, when his delighted eyes beheld the prairie lands below him, Skete felt that he was indeed nearing home, and he could scarcely repress a cry of raj turous joy. “Miss Nora I Miss Nora, honey, Skete's a cornin’; he hab been long gone, sure, but he’s cornin’, truly he am.” With this thought in his brain, what was Skate’s dismay and horror when a rude voice broke in with: “Haiti you black rascal." CHAPTER XIV. O Nora the delight of a gallop on the back of her own pet pony was tbo best tonic tha^ could have been offered. She chose a wester­ ly direction, and re­ solved to reach the base of tho majestic Rockies, that seemed so near and- yet that waa several long miles distant She had never been over any of the mountains of the West but she found great delight in viewing their towering summits and grass and .bush grown sides. The Union Pacific had only been completed as far as Cheyenne, and her route was the well-worn road of tbe old trail, where prairie schooners wore accustomed to cross the long, long stretch of prairie lands and lose them­ selves in tho mountain passes, on their seemingly endless journey to the farfamed Golden Gate. ' As she rode onward her troubled heart took in new strength, and tho calm clearness of the day, so wholly and entirely bright, was exhilarating. Mile after m3e was gone over, and the Rockies rose before her; gradually ahe found hersrif rising above the un­ dulating prairies. “We’ll try some of these small roads, S genuine trail, my pet See I here Big Battles.

But I am very anxious to return to Cheyenne. I was very foolish to trust myself alone in tho mountains. They will bo bo alarmed about me." The man drew his large hat further over his brows, and, rifio in hand, grasped tho pony's bridle and proceed­ ed down the mountain path slowly and cautiously. “Well—can wo not turn about and retrace our steps soon ?’ pleaded Nor A "There is no way of gittin’outof this scrape, Mws,. but to push right on straight ahead.

I guess you’ll nave to pnt np with what us boys can offer, for the present” Nora wondered what ho meant by “ns boys,” bnt concluded it must be a party of hunters camping near. She was right. Just as the sun hid its smiling face behind a mountain, she saw a camp fire, around which, were clustered a half-dozen rough-looking hunters. “Hollo, Jim. is that the sort of game you bring in ?" laughed one of the men, coarsely. “It’s the kind I bring in to-night This yer gal got lost in the trail, an’ I brought her out She’s anxious to re­ turn to Cheyenne to-night, she says. Any o’ you fellows want to gnidc her over the mountains?"

The night was far spent, their way had been over rough, mountainous roads and passes, and at last they had reached a plain, but the surroundings were wholly unfamiliar to Nora. .

We will dismount, have our breakfast and take a few hours’ much-needed rest. Miss Fairleigh looks very weary." After partaking of a few mouthfuls of broiled meat and a cracker, Nora, overcome with weariness, permitted her captor to arrange her a bed of blankets and went to sleep calmly, notwithstand­ ing her strange and doubtful surround­ ings. It was high noon when the voice of Dan Lo Fane aroused her. “Come, Miss Fairleigh, we cannot de­ lay longer; wo must be moving on soon. The boys are just down the river a ways. ’ I will join them now with your blankets. If you desire to bathe your face and arrange your toilet thereto the river; it will answer for all purposes.” And, with a smile, the man gathered up tho blankets and strode off, with: ' “Follow me as soon as you can, Miss Fairleigh; tho boys are' growing im­ patient” She wandered down to the river bank, bathed her face, tucked up her tum­ bled hair the best she could, and gazed about her, wondering if there was any chance for her escape. Thu willows might conceal her for a •lime, but the men would surely find her, hide whero she would. "No. the time is not yet,” she thougnt; “but whenever opportunity does offer I shall not hesitate.” Slowly sho made her way to the group of men who stood near their ponies, and were evidently impatient to be off. “Here is the best breakfast wo con offer at present, but we promise you that who j we reach Satan's Roost all tho delicacies of mountain streams tpd forests shall be laid before you." “Satan’s Boost! Where is that?" “That is the hame of my former home, and where we are now bound; a really romantic, lovely place, such as young girls usually fancy—in novels." (to in: coxnxvxu] Night had now sot in, and Nora, weary and full of fears in her prosont doubtful friends, dismounted and ap­ proached the fire. The coarse, rude faces and forms about her did not reassure her. She knew that usually Western scuuto and trappers were courteous and extremely kind to all women in distress; but these men, although they wore buckskin and had every appearance of the brave hunter, had also a brigandish air tbat caused her a nameless terror, Ao she approached tho fire where the savury odor of broiling meat greeted her, the men drew bock slightly and viewed her extremely pretty face and figure in much surprise. Ladies such as sho were not often out in the moun­ tains alone. Jim had attended to her weary pony and drew near them, bnt before he had spoken a word a sound of horses’ hoofs rang ont down tbo mountain side, and the men looked at each other in sur­ prise, more than one placing thoir hands upon their revolers. " “It's the Captain," said some one. “I know it's him by the way he rides. Yes, hero he is." Nora turned her head and wondered carelessly who “the Captain” was.

There is no class of men better cntitled to enjoy genuine, innocent fun, than tbo soldiers serving m an active campaign. They are entitled to it, and thav they do emov enjoy it with with a zest that that 1I think think other men cannot* feel, for the reason mat they iney have nave their weir lives in their moir hands, nanus, tbat and the occurrences of the next hour or day might put them where humor is unknown. It was a relief for the bravo fellows comprising our volun­ teer armies to relax a little occasion­ ally; to turn from the stem business of ’war and fighting ond lighten their condition with all kinds of fun and jest. That they did so, on occasion, most uproariously, I need not Bay to my vet­ eran comrades. The soldier who could not stand a practical joke was out of place among the volunteers. And those who could take a joke, and were quick to retaliate in kind, found their cares much lightened, and the bond of comradeship strengthened. I am not by any means tho only soldier whoso stick, and-mud chimney, in winter quar­ ters, refused to draw, and who discov­ ered, upon examination, that acme kind comrade had stuffed an old pair of bine pants into tbe opening. And I expect that I am but one of many such vic­ tims who discovered the author of that iniquity, and got more than even with him for tho same. At least, I was one who did that thing. When discipline was relaxed in fa­ vorable situations in camp or barracks, tbe “camp-elephant” used to be pa­ raded about. It was the samo animal that we have seen shown in parlors at home, when the young people get hila­ rious, but constructed on larger and more scientific principles. He was covered with army-blanketa and blue overcoats in profusion; he had an im­ mense motive power of human arms and legs under him, but carefully con­ cealed; a soldier always bestrode him, a keeper walked by his side; a long blue panto-leg, tied at the end, was waved in the air for a trunk. Followed by a jovial procession, the elephant would make tbe circuit of the camp, and morose indeed was tho officer who would not come out at tbe call of tho animal and answer his salutation. Tho negroes in Louisians and Vir­ ginia furnished a constant fund of di­ version for the soldiers. The sack­ races, wheelbarrow-races, blindfold­ races, and others of that class that I have seen since those days, seem bnt a faint imitation of tbe real thing tbat wo were accustomed to have among the people who invented them. And some­ times, and not rarely, either, when wo could get some venerable African, the date of whose birth was a mere matter of conjecture to h'mself. so far back toward tbo early days of.the Republic was it, to twang his banjo and singono of the pathetic slave-ditties of the sSouth, and, later, to “pat" while a 'brisk and lithe-limbed young Freed­ man executed a dance in a style that Dan Bryant might have envied—then we thought we could tell something about the origin of tho negro show minstrelsy of the North. Perhaps it ought not to be mentioned in thia connection, but the fact is that tho religions outpourings of the col­ ored race were so extravagant as to af­ ford mirth for tbe soldiers. They could not help the mirth; nobody could who heard someof the supplications at the negro prayer-meetings. The boys always tried to restrain themselves while meeting was going od, but back in camp the best imitator of the dialect was sura to be greeted with approving shouts of laughter. “Oh, Lawd Gawd, do come down heah! Come down to de pore niggahs 1 Bress de army an’ do navy ob de Union. Lawd' Gawd! bress all de aojeral Brees de good Marsa Linkum! Bress Genl Grant! Come .right down heah. Oh Lawd, in die preient now!" Many things that the soldiers got hold of from the outside were very amusing, and had a wide circulation. I know of nothing of this kind that trav­ eled farther or was more keenly en­ joyed than the intercepted love-letter of the girl down in Dixie to her Con­ federate soldier at the front It breathed the warmest spirit of true love all the way through, but the wind-. l ev you u Every soldier knows what tho bi­ monthly muster and pay-roll of tbe company or battery is. It has the name of every, member of the organiz­ ation, whan last paid, whether present or absent, and all the data and par­ ticulars necessary to guide the pay­ master iu discharging the indebted­ ness of the United States to its sol­ diers. They were made on ponderous ruled and printed blanks, each of which was large enough, when spread, to cover tho table at which I write. The Confederates adopted the same system, very naturally, for their Ad­ jutant General, Samuel Cooper, was formerly in the United States army, in tbe same department. Near the end of tbe blank there war a large space headed, "Record of events that | may be necessary or useful for future | reference at the War Department, or for present information." Buch a record, of course, was intended to bo strictly official ; but on one occasion a Georgia Captain mode this ’’Record" the' vehicle for expressing his great disgust with the service. The roll was among tho property captured by our army at CedaF Creek, October 19, 1864. 1 obtained a copy of this “record" at the time, and present it hero verbatim. “The 1st July found us near WoodFerry; 9th of July at Frederick City, Md.; 11th and 12th of July near Wash­ ington City, D. C.; lb th of July, bat­ tle of Snicker’s Ferry. “We have marched up and down tho lower part of this valley bo much that I am unable to record the property; company and regimental officers having been denied any transportation for company and regimental books and private 'clothing. Am unable to keep a full and correct date of all events, and am often compelled to suffer from tho presence of a body-guard, known ns body-lice. A remedy—plenty of soap, but our money can’t purchase it here. New clothes—they are not to be had. Transportation—alas, that, too, cannot be obtained. Sufferingly yours, “J. A. WniTESlDE, “Captain commanding Co. E, 12th Georgia Regiment” Brave Captain Whiteside! Your “record” made fun enough among us that winter. The griefs you complained of were common to us also during that stirring campaign; bnt we never dared to speak out quite os plainly &b you did. I trust that the Confederate Ad­ jutant General at Richmond received the copy of tho roll that you forwarded to him; that he carefnlly re d tho “record;" and then that ho waited on tho Secretary of War and tho President of tbo Southern Confederacy, and that the three together were able to under­ stand your mysterious allusions to tho “body-guard." During the summer of 1863. among the troops composing the command of Colonel Graham, commonibait of the post at Glasgow, Ky., was tho Elgin Battery, Illinois Artillery. A darky had joined the battery, and was doing duty as cook to the officers’mess. Aaron soon l>ecame a favorite with tho battery and other soldiers. There were rumors in camp that he was a runaway chattel, absent from his “Old Kentucky Homo" “without leave.” One day Lieutenant L. G. Jeffers was in command of the battery, the other officers being out of camp. He waa lounging in his tent, when in rushed Aaron, apparently in too great haste to stand upon the order of his coming, or going either. He dashed through and disappeared at the back door, his eyes the size of the bottom of a teacup. The Lieutenant, as by instinct, took in the situstioD. Within two minutes after the negro disappeared the form of a stalwart Kentuckian darkened the front entrance. Evidently he had seen the “boy" enter, and was in about as much haste to get through as be had been. When he lied got well inside Lieutenant Jeffers sprung at a bound in his fronts and, with a look of terribly! affronted dignity, said: “Who the dickens are you, sir, who presume to enter my tent so unceremo­ niously ?" “Why, a—a—nigger ju—just this minute went through here. “Well, sir, what business have you to question the movements of my servant?” “To me—to me—a—an officer!” “You an officer! Where is your uni­ form ?” . “Oh, sir; I—I—Pm a deputy sheriff." “A officer, are--------you. “ * civil * “ What brings you here?" “I’m after tbat nigger." “Have you any authority to rush into my tent after that nigger ?” “Yes—yes,” glancing nervously to­ ward the rear of the tent, his desire bo­ ng evident to proceed in that direc­ tion. “I’ve got the papers." “LA me see them?" He fumbled nervously for a minute or two, and at last held out the papers. "There, air; you see it’s all right” The Lieutenant took the papers, and after wiping and adjusting his glasses leisurely examined the papers one after another. After five terrible minutes to the Deputy Sheriff he folded them with great care and precision aud to be all suppose yon ar© at liberl with the search.” The deputy, with a groan which plainly indicated “another nigger lost,” said: “Y—a—a—s, but what is the use He went out the back door and.’ through the racSs tent and found hint­ self in front of the sallyport of the fort, before which two vcry.iaoocent-looking soldiers from the State of Indiana were leisurely walking back and forth. No *nigger" was visible to the asked eye. It was afteward learned that tho fagir tive had been admitted into the fort, and for fear that‘the Sheriff would bopermitted to go inside, some of tbo guard nod slipped tae negro into tbomagazine, where he was- cared for by the other darkies several days until the slave-hunter had left. Then some of tho boys got up a pass, to which—by mistake, of course—the name of a major general was signed, aud Aaron visited Cincinnati for his health and comfort. OMETIMEin April, 1863, wa were or­ dered from Leaven­ worth, , Kansas, to march southwest. We didn’t know our destination when we started, but knew if we kept in that di­ rection long we would bid the wild buffalo a “howdy-do 1” The march waa pleasant enough till the boys that had acquired the habit began to be short of tobacco. Finally there was not a crumb of the precious material to be found. For several miles the weeds and grass was used as a substitute; then wo come to a new, box-looking house, with cracks in it through which we could see some groceries. We found tho door locked with a huge padlock; also a huge English bulldog inside, fastened with a chain just long enough to allow him to walk over the vacant part of the floor. We could see the empty tobacco boxes around. We had starved for the tobacco so long that we could inhale its odor through the crev­ ices of tho store. Where there’s swill there's a way. It was nut long till by tho means of a hook we chained Mr. Doggie close to the wall, pried open the padlock by way of a slant, and found tobacco enough to satisfy our immediate wants. A Fighting Sick Mm. N reading over your war memories I of­ ten come across a sketch which re­ minds me of a simiincident. The one entitled “Tho Doctor Didn’t Know He Was Sick" recall­ . ed to my memory one _ '*■“ ' ot my old comrades, who was taken down verv sick a short time after we got into active servioe. Ho was bed-fa*4 for a long time, and finally convalesced. While he did not get very stout, he looked quite robust, and would answer to tbe sick call ev­ ery day. Finally tbe Doctor thought there was not much ailing him, and or­ dered his. Captain to put him on duty. The Captain ordered me to issue him hia gun and accouterments. When I took them to him he pleaded like a good fellow his inability tp do duty. I told him that it was so ordered by tbe doctors, and that he would be com­ pelled to obey. “Well," said he, “I will try.” All went well with him until wo were on tho march to Fredericksburg, Va. He came to me and wanted to deliver up his gun and accouterments, plead­ ing that he was so weak he was not able to carry them. I told him that I had orders not to take them, but that I would intercede with the Captain for him. I did so, bnt the Captain said the order from the Doctor was imperative, and he could not disobey U. I ex­ plained it . to him, and told him he might possibly get on the good side of some of -the teamsters end get to ride, which he did. We went into the fight at Fredericksburg, on Saturday afternoon and advanced almost to tho brow of a hill or plain, where, by ly­ ing flat the enemy could not hit us with their shots, but if we raised upon, our knees we were sure to receive a com­ pliment from the enemy. We lay in this position all day Sunday, with no­ fighting except desultory picket firing. Tho day was quite cold and raw, and: । the sick man slowly rose to his feet and started to the rear to pick some blankets from the dead, as he said they did not need them and we did. He haa just reached the first one when the enemy began to fire at him. Ho turn­ ed and fronted them squarely, and sang out ns loud as he could: “biro away, boys; I’ve only onco to die .and might as well.die now as any­ time." By the time ho said this they had ceased firing at hint; he still stood looking at them.

OYAL sport was the order of the day in St Paul from Jan. 25 to Fob. 4. It was the season of the mid­ winter festival — the Joe Palace Carnival Two of these carni­ vals had previously been held, in the winters of 1888 and 1887, and hundreds of thousands of people hove been drawn thither to witness the gorgeous crystal carnival and participate in the many exhilarating winter sports. The grand central feature of these festivals is. of course, tho mammoth castle of glittering ice. Tbe palaeo of 1886 was the largest of the kind ever builded in the world up to that time, and it con­ tained -0,000 blocks of ice. The one erected in January, 1887 was, however, nearly twice as large, containing 45,000 blocks of transparent ice, and being 220 feet long, 200 feet wide, and 110 feet high It was a wonderful combi­ nation of towers, turrets, battlements, balconies and outworks. Astounding as was the achievement of that year, tho present ice palace far outshines it in every detail It .covan about an acre of apace, and readies a height of 140 feet Its ground dimen­ sions are at least 250 feet square, and 75,000 blocks of ice 22x32 inches and about 18 inchee thick were used in its construction. The ice, which was taken from a placid lake north of the city, would weigh 16,000,000 pounds, and if used in the building of a wall six feet high and eight inches thick would reach fourteen miles I The flfain entrance has a large arch twenty feet in width and seventeen feet in height, flanked by small circular towers on either aide sixty feet high. The three other entrances have large fifty genuine red men, squaws, and pappooscs reside. They occupy their skin tepees, and have their dogs and ponies with them. An elaborate programme had been arranged for the ten days covering the Carnival season, and it was carried out almost to the letter. There were deco­ rations, illuminations, monster proces­ sions, snow-shoe ra-es, curling and skating contests, etc. A correspondent at St.Paul gives the following interesting account of the inauguration of the loe Carnival: Borealis, king of the hyperborean realm, arrived in the city in a blaze of glory that waa chilly yet magnificent He camo followed by a retinue of at­ tendants clad in polar bear skins and flowing beards that hung heavy with frost He camo followed with a blare of trumpets and a wild waving of ban­ ners that brought every able-bodied citizen to the gate of entry and set thorn wondering at this scene of unique magnificence. The day was a propi­ tious one for tho event ' Tho mercury, which bad been low-spirited fordwo woeks past manifested an inclination to be gay and -jubilant, and when the king’s chariot reached the city the ther­ mometer registered five degrees below zero, but the air was damp and the heaviest kind of wraps were tho order of the day.

They were of elaborate design and extremely rich in finish. THE ICE PALACE. . openings and are flanked by towers of different heights and sizes. Tbe court walls have an average height of thirty feet, and run at various angles, termin­ ating in small towers of different shapes and designs. Probably one of the most unique at­ tractions of the Falsoe is the Maze, situated at the northeast corner of the conrt walls. It is designed to bewilder those unwary enough . to undertake to thread its mystic paths. It is about 80 feet in diameter, and has five sepa­ rate passages which lead to the center of the puzzle, where circular stain lead to a platform extending to tho exterior of the Maze. The interior of this nov­ elty is divided into a series of circular walks by low walls of ice, and the problem is to reach tho staircase—not an easy task, by any means. Tho main tower of the Palace starts at the base fifty feet square, with smaller circular towers at tho corners twelve feet in diameter. This shape is carried to a height of eighty feet when the corner towers end. and the grand central tower assumes a circular form, and. with a diameter of 42 feet rises to a height of about 140 feet On the rides of the tower spacious niches contain images of snow-shoers, tobog­ ganers. skaters and animals modeled in k*.

A throne in tho rear end of the chariot reached tho height of fifteen feet, and over it was a grand canopy sparkling with dia­ mond dust, perfectly representing a coating of hoar frost. On the throne sat his Majesty, massive and imposing, in his robes of polar bear skins. The interior of tho chariot y[as thickly cov­ ered with skins of tho same kind, and from tho back of the throne they hung, their skirts dragging in the snow. Back of the throne slumbered an ante­ lope. On tbe front of the chariot a Rocky Mountain goat stood on a pedestal of ice. Tho framework of tho chariot, which was thirty-two feet long, was covered with white canvas, uphol­ stered and painted in realistic repre­ sentation of ice, snow, and frost. The chariot was drawn by six milk-white hones in elaborate trappings. White frost plumes nodded above their heads, and their harness was covered with diamond dust to represent frost A man disguised as apolar bear sat on the seat and held the reins, while at the bit of each auimal walked a white bear in upright attitude, a Following tbe King's chariot were four floats, built for the benefit of his suite, comprising tho Mayors of St Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth and Winona, all hidden under bear-skins and their faces disguised with heavy white beards. Tbe boats of the suite were made in various designs. One repre­ sented a big seal, another an Arctie whale, and the two others polar bears. The prevailing colors of each were white and blue and greon, represent­ ing snow, water and ice in infinite forms of picturesque beauty. The horses drawing the floats were white, and across the haunches of each ani­ mal was thrown a light-blue blanket with a white bear in bos relief in the center.

There was a scrambling for good positions, and, 'vhen an exceedingly good po nt was from the limited opporiqpities of the j Americans are -familiar through tha There were thousands of people from tho rural districts aud surrounding Dakota, Wisconsin and Minnesota towns, who were paying their first visit to a celebration of this nature, and the police had hard work to keep excited farmers and wild-eyed woodmen from the logging districts from climbing tele­ graph poles - and converting the ice statues along tbe line of march inte points of observation.

The procession marched to the Pal­ ace grounds, where Mayor Smith ten­ dered the freedom of the city to the Ice King, together with the keys of the Palace. There were upward of i| 30,000 people on the grounds. Tho vast concourse patiently stood in the cold and pounded their toes on the snow and watched tho tedious ceremo­ nies of giving Borealis possession of his glittering abode. At the close of the ceremonies an immense banner, with a polar bear painted upon it, was run up over the central tower of the Palace, and the reign of Borealis had begun. The procession waa nearly a mile in length, and several of the clubs carried with them elegant floats of peculiar design, while others carried their bouncing blankets on their shoulders stretched on a frame-work. It is esti­ mated that there were throe thousand uniformed men in line, and the sight was a beautiful one. The storm.ng of the ice palace form­ ed an interesting feature of the ten days* festivities. Each soldier carried Roman-candle rifles, a blazing torch, and other paraphernalia of war. When tue word was given the fire king, clad in his robes of flame, mounted his fiery chariot, drawn by four equally fiery steeds, and escorted by an army of little devils and his glit­ tering followers, set forth to give the ice king a roasting. The fire king’ft forces arrayed themselves around tbe ice palace and bombarded tho crystal walls with red-hot shot and shell. Tho sight was one of tho most beautiful possible to ' oon'ceivo. From every tower and loop-hole of the crystal palace darted forth streams of many-colored fire, and the hissing of gorgeous rockets shooting starward was silenced by the bursting of immense bombs, thrown to an im­ mense height by mortars inside the castle. The besiegers were not idle by any means, but shot fiery dots and sheets of flame at tho palace in the attempt to demoralize the defenders. The glit­ tering walls of the palace reflected back thousands of prismatic rays. The grounds -of the palace were filled with UU KLING. gayly uniformed snotrshoers, which imparted additional life and color to the scene. Printers* PI.

It w>ui 11 o'clock in a fright September nigt.t, and the stage • was filled with paaoengcTB. There ! were seven drummers on ik who had been to Bon Angelo with their samples and were eager to get to Ballinger, the nearest railroad point San Angelo is a very important town in tbe western part of Texsa', and is the county seat of that enormous district called Tom Green County, which has an area of ten thousand square mile*. The stage was but twelve mites from Ballinger, and each mile-post was counted impa­ tiently by the weary men. A mounted highwayman, with gleam­ ing pistol, suddenly halted them, springing np miraculously M if from tbo very earth. “Hold up, gentlemen 1 Stop yonr team, driver! Gentlemen, yot» please oblige me by getting ont of tbe stage ? Thia side, ptease. Now stand in a row with your bands up while I place them slicker caps over your heads to prevent your seeing wbat I da Pardon me for running my hands down in your pockets and searching yon, but I must get your money, and I want you to keep your hands up." When be had finished with the passengers and had rifled the mail­ bags lie made a mental inventory of ' his possessions, and found that he had •1,178 in money, seven watches, and four pistols. Then he removed tho tbe bag-like cspa he had placed over their heada. ami said: beads, and MGentlemen, I am sorry to detain you longer, bnt I have made up my pinna to rob that stage coming from Ballinger, and 700 must wait hero un­ til it comes up. Business is business, you know." He then sat down 'and began to look ©▼er the boodle, while the passengep* loitered about and amused themselves as best they could under tho circum­ stances. Among tbe contiscatea pis­ tols was found a small '22-caliber weapon, and tho highwayman yelled out: “Here, who in h—1 owns this dodgasted, measly, two-bit toy gun?" “I did,” said one of the passengers. “Well. I'm going to make you take it back. If the boys would find that on me they would string mo up for con­ tempt" "Mr. Robber,” said a Dallas drum­ mer, “you haven’t treated mo white. You have cleaned me out entirely, and I won’t bo able to get home.” “Is that so? Well, 1’11 do this: I'm no hog; I’ll give every man a per cent of what I took from him for traveling expenses.” “You have no use for that watch of mine,” said Mr. Kaufman, “and you can’t sell it, because my name is en­ graved on it; won’t you give it back to “Here, you take tho whole lot of them; they are not puch account; there ain’t a good one in the lot." "Pardner,” said the driver, “it’s mighty cold sitting here; can’t you ‘set ’em up’ to something to drink ?’’ “That’s whatever;' you all just wait here a few minutes. ” Hedeajied on his horse, which had remained near them grazing, galloped off rapidly, and disappeared in a small chapparal thicket near by, and almost .ustantly was seen to emerge again, holding high in his left hand two quart botGes of whisky. He suddenly reined up his horse when about fifty feet from the men, and said : “I know that white I was gone yon fellows were laying some scheme to take me. I suppose you think you will shoot me with that little pistol Now, I don’t want to have this even­ ing’s entertainment wind up in a row. and Lam going to make every fellow come up and get his drink one at a tune.” The whisky put every one in a jolly­ good humor, and it was generallyagreed that if it were not for his erratic ideas of meum and team the robber would be a clever fellow. Newsome went to work to cxiunt over his gains again, making some calculations on the ground with a stick. Finally he aaid: “Boys, I’m short $11’. I must rob you over ag*in, be­ es'mj I have given some fellow a $20 gold piece for a dollar.” He went through them again, and discovered it in the pocket of tbo man to whom he had intended to give $3. He gave the passenger $*2 and put the gold piece in his own pocket As he was moving off the passenger touched him on tho shoulder. “You owe me a dollar.” -How is that?” “Wasn’t I to have $3?” “That’s sa Here’s another |1." Tho driver was seized with a scheme <141*) and said: “Suppose, Colonel, that you let us drive on until we meet the other stage and you ride along by our side?” . A DBD B a guuu 1UOA, IHMU UO.

The stage was soon met The first MILTS was stopped about eighty yards off and On ** •8lS tho robbing process was repeated. this stage there were four passengers —two ladies and two old preachers. The ladies he declined to rob, and tho iLts eia.M preachers had nothing. When he had concluded his work he galloped off to 4.73 0 5.59 5.00 f» 6-00 the chaparral thioket and fired a shot 6.00 «»CJ5 as a signal for them to move on. They J5)A0 M moved.

It is worry, not work, that kills, is am old trite saying,’ but a true one. Where cam there be a more dejected and wretched ob­ ject in this life than a woman who has noth­ ing to do? Nothing to do, when this world is so fall of work, and ao much in need ot willing hands and hearts to help on the good deeds begun. Work is the salt ot life, the vehicle which carries us to suc­ cess, prosperity and happiness, but wo should aim not to let worr> become a fel­ low-traveler. If we do, the journey will botedious, and no doubt unprofitable. Worry will drive us into many a deep rut on the way. and will call about our heads du-iual, threatening weather, and it is only a ques­ tion of time when the clouds will borsLand the storm, for which our own short­ comings are responsible, will fall upon us fast and furiously. It is, perhaps, an un­ kind thing lo aay, but women, as a class, are prone to exnggerate their woes. They insist on considering themselves martyrs,, and, with I woe-begone faces and heart­ rending sighs, await in idleness their call to a more appreciative world. Let them be up and doing, and glorify their work, no matter how lowl> Many women are un­ der the delusion that out of public life a woman's inflnenee ia marred, biased, and cramped; bnL while it is granted to tbe few to panlicly benefit the masses, it does not exempt ths many from carefully and vir­ tuously making use of every opportunity in private life of creatiug a better and more ennobling current of thought. Beecher has said: “Difficulties are God's errands, and when we are sent upon them we should esteem it a proof of God's con­ fidence—as a compliment from God.” We cannot reach happiness at a single step, or for it every jay, and the prize will be the reward of persevering, long-continued effort. Once more, I will say it is worry, not work, thst kills.

He was reading Bret Harte's poems, she was devouring the latest sensa­ tional novel of the day; for awhile both were interested in their respective books. It was, perhaps, that nameless, fathomless sympathy which we have all felt at times that drew them to­ gether; or, perhaps, it was that stronger but unknown tie which already bound their hearts to. one another; at any rate, they were soon occupying seats turned facing each other. She dropped her book while gazing from the window in an abstracted man­ ner, a sad, far-away look in her ear­ nest blue eyes. He picked it up and returned it to her. She thanked him; their eves met; it was onlv for an in­ stant, but in that single glance Cupid had accomplished his work. They loved, and their railway carriage went rushing along at forty miles an hour. “Are you interested in your novel?" he asked. “Oh, very much!" she cooingly re­ plied. but said it aside as-if willing to continue the conversation. “Do you like Bret Harte?" “Yea. There is a sort of rough, heartfelt earnestness in his poems that reaches one’s heart at once." She had never rood any of Harte’s poems except “The Heathen Chinee," so Bhff replied: “Oh, he is perfectly "dreadful, and writes about such dreadful people, and gamblers, and all that! Now, I want something real nioe and truo and ten­ der-some beautiful sentiment that I can take to my heart and treasure there." “You are so good—so true, ” he mur­ mured, with an admiring look. “Don’t call me a sentimentalist, my v friend,” she continued, leaning toward him as she grew more animated, “but consider me earnest, honest and true.

They remained in paradise*, and the long train sped onward; the course of true love ran smooth. They patronized the fruit boy, the book boy;-they ate oranges, talked and read poetry to­ gether until a rough-visaged fellow thrust his head in at the door and shrieked: “Atlanta! change cars,"etc. “My home," she said, with a sigh. “Mine also," he replied. “How for­ tunate!" He assisted her down the steps. They stood together on the platform a moment, with clasped hands, then both rushed forward at the same in­ stant and clasped in their loving arms a stout, pleasant-faced old lady, who kissed and clasped them in turn. “My Hear Eddy! my dear Emma!" "How—how is this?" he cried, in un­ utterable amazement “Oh-o-o-oh!" crie d the silly girt “What does this mean?” exclaimed the old ladv. "Don’t you children know each other?

Seme Big Mushrooms. In a field near the castle of Peters­ burg st Silz in the Tyrol, Austria, a species of mushrooms called lycoperdon bovista giganteum, is found in abundance. A few weeks ago one of them was sent to Vienna measuring lengthways (it is egg-shaped) 3J feet around and the other way 8J. It weighed upward of seven pounds. It grows generally to the size of a child's bead and weighs some two and a half i pounds.

A diver named Quintreo had a re markable fight with a formidable fish called the boultous or bondro, a kind of shark, which infests the Breton coast at Douarnenez, the other day. Quin­ tree had a narrow escape. The diver, an old salt, was employed by the Gov­ ernment, and in pursu.t of his daily labor duly descended, in a,diving appa­ ratus, off’the Douarnenez pier for the purpose of laying the foundation of an addition to that structure. \\ hile he was at the bottom of the sea the men who were working the air­ pump in the pontoon boat above wore suddenly frightened by feeling the alarm signal. They immediately pulled up and brought a large boultous, nearly eight foct long to the surface. The marine monster’s head formed three'quarters of his length, and h:s under jaws were of immense size. Shortly afterward Quintree camo up, his hand on the air-pipe of his helmet and his diving apparatus somewhat damaged. When he went down to his wort he had scarcely got to the last rung of the ladder when he saw the sea monster lying between two huge lumps of rock. He had in his hands only his stone chisel and a hammer, and ho intended to go up for a crowbar at once, but the fish was too fast for him.

As Iron Dan. pressed onward, plotting andjflanning his future evil course, and pay mg little attention to his horse, Black Joe suddenly stumbled to hia knees, and his rider went flying over his head.. "A cursed hole!" hissed Iron Dun. “Joe, old boy, you’re not seriously in­ jured, are you?" But Joe, with his pleading eyes and mute lipa, could not answer; yet his master soon found that tho noblo crea­ ture’s leg wm broken, and realized the dreadful catastrophe that had befallen him, and besides the one thing he loved waa his horse. He felt a mist rise in his eyes and a lump in his trout, and flung both arms around Black Joe's neck and sobbed: “My pet! my pride! I would give half; yea, even all my fortune, to re­ store you; but I can not, I can not Alas! but one course is open to me now, for I con not leave you here to die a lingering death." Then bo drew forth his revolver, placed it at Black Joe’s head, shut his eves, and fired. With a groan the noble horse fell over on his aide, quite dead. CHAPTER XVIIL AN LE FANE, or Iron Dan, as he was called by his mon and companions in the wild life he had been lead­ ing, carried Nora to his former rendezvous and left her well and, as he supposed, se­ curely guarded, and started once more for North Platte, going at first to Chey­ enne, and from thence by the cars to the latter place. Here one morning he entered his attorney’s office, much to his surprise. “Have-you made any arrangements in regard to the herds?” was his first query. “No, Mr. LeFano; the very after­ noon I expected to bring Mr. Gray around, you both suddenly disappeored." “Both?" “Yes. I understood he started off in search of Miss Fairleigh, who, it seems, Js still mysteriously missing. Fve an idea the young fellow is more than half in love with her." “Indeed!" scornfully replied Dan; "and that young tenderfoot started off alone after her, did he? He’ll come back minus hair, perhaps, if ho comes back at all.” “Oh, he’ll turn up by and by. No, he did not go alone; the old scout, Rube Smith, accompanied him.” “Ah, that alters the case. Pray, when did they start?” •About nightfall, I believe; but really I do not know. I suppose you have beard nothing from the girl?"’ “Nothing whatever. I suppose you would advise me to wait until Mr. Gray returns before I look up another purchaser." “Yes; he’s young and green and en­ thusiastic over the business. It would be to your advantage to wait on him." “Ye’ry well, then, we will proceed to otber matters." _ After another hour Dan left his law­ yer’s office and took the train bock~4o Cheyenne. ut must hasten back and let the boys know that old Rube is on their trail. The girl must be moved to other quar­ ters at once. A sleuth-hound cannot follow a trail more snrely than old Rube can. I was a fool, jierhaps, to carry off the girl, but she’s deuced pretty, and I still fear may have some legal hold upon Richard Farleigb’s wealth. Since Isabel won’t relent or forgive the past, I don’t know who would suit me better than little Nora— bless her fair face—and yet there is a resemblance in it that puzzles me. What a funny old lady that is on my right; snowy hair, glasses, and-how neatly her hands are gloved; deuced small, shapely hands for so old a lady; something about her rather odd, but I can't tell just what it is.” So, musing as the train sped on­ ward in night-time gloom, Dan Le Fane fell asleep, his head resting up­ on the back of his seat When he awoke he found the old la­ dy- hod disappeared, and that his des­ tination was reached. He also found pinned to the seat in front of him the same well-drawn picture of himself with a party of vigilantes ready to hang him He snatched up the picture, glanced keenly about him, and seeing no sus­ picious persons he hurriedly left the car. “Strange who this unknown enemy and artist can be. Seems to think 1’11 come to the proper end, and is v’ery anxious to let me know it This hav­ ing an enemy in the dark is not very pleasant I can fight an open. one. I am at a loss to deal with one in se­ cret" And as be walked away from the de­ pot he saw the flutter of the old lady's shawl—the prim, trim-looking old la­ dy he had noticed in the cars: but ho little dreamed that her hand drew his likeness so accurately, and her hand pinned it just where hia glauoe was sure to fall upon awakening, or that she was his deadly enemy, silent as death, bat pitiless, and day and night hnnting him to his doom. In a short time he had mounted Black Joe, and was riding away in the direction of Satan's Roost, urging his splendid horso to his best efforts. "We must reach Satan’s Roost soon, old boy; so show your mettle. When the mountain roads and trails are reached you cannot travel as now. Ah, if I should be loo late!

I became lost and wandered on .until I fell in with a party of hunters. They were soon joined by Dan Le Fane." “Dan Le Fane! what’s dat debble doin’ here?” “Oh, Skete, do you know him?—he is so cruel.

Nora prudently did as he requested, and sank down upon her bed of skins and quietly awaited the approach of Jim Gregory. “Now, Miss," bo begun, in his coarse, heavy voice, “you are not to worry or take on. You’ll be treated kind if you take matters easy, but any fuss around here or tryin’ to escape will compel us put you in chains.

The sleepor sometimes dreams of his appearing on the street or in soci­ ety only half-dressed; the innocent cause is found in some of the bed­ clothes hav.ng fallen off. ,. Difficulty in respiration is fearful agony caused by nightmare, the night­ mare’ seeming to be a weight rolled upon the chest, or a horrible monster which threatens to stifle the sleeper. Parents and friends cut off m the flower of life ordinarily appear in dreams because of the profound imCession which their death or burial 3mode; hence tho general opinion that tho dead continue during the night their intercourse with tho living. An inconvenient position of the sleeper, a slight hindrance to respira­ tion or interferon with the action of the heart, may be tho cause of dreams, where one seeks an object without be­ ing able to find it. or has forgotten something in starting on a journey. Those subjective visual and auditory sensations which are represented in a waking state as a luminous chaos of an obscure visual field, by humming and roaring in the ears, and especially sub­ jective retinal sensations, cause the dreamer to see innumerable birds, but­ terflies, fish, multi-co'.ored pears, or flowers. But if there be some cutane­ ous irritation these visions ore usually changed into caterpillars or beetles, crawling over the skin of the sleeper. Beecher’s Wisdom. Every farm should own .% good farmer. A man never has good lup.k who has a bad wife. The masses against the classes the world over. A man who does not love praise is not a full man. A man must ask leave of his stomach to be a happy man. It takoe longer for man to find out man than any other creature that is made. A man without self-restraint is like a barrel without hoops, and tumbles to pieces. Whoever makes home seem to the young dearer and more happy is a pub­ lic benefactor. The greatest event in a hen’s life is made up of an egg and a cackle. But eagles never cackle. A proud man is seldom a grateful man, for he never thinks that he gets as much as ho deserves.

I was'at that time Brigade Postmaster, with a sort of roving com­ mission to go and come os I pleased, only it was expected that I would keep the brigade supplied promptly with its mail from home, and be equally prompt iu forwarding the army mail to the lines of railway in the rear for trans­ portation to the North. This was sometimes attended with difficulty, and not infrequently with danger. Upon reaching Shelbyville, which had been evacuated only a day or two before by the rebels. 1 took possession of the regular postoflice of the place. Pass­ ing over some interesting history of two or three journeys to Murfreesboro for mail, I come to'the time when wo had fixed up an old locomotive, with one or two cars attached, and were running two trains a day between Shelbyville and Wartrace. The main lino from Nashville to Chattanooga ran through Wartrace, and Shelbyville was just eight miles to one side, and a rickety sort of a branch road hod been built, connecting Shelbyville with the main line at Wartrace. By this time quite a large army was camped about Shelby­ ville, also at Wartrace, at which point our mail was now received regularly, except when interrupted by accident or by the enemy. It was my duty to go over to Wartrace even* day and sort out tho Shelbyville mail. Ono day wo wore on our return trip, and the old locomotive was groaning and puffing its way up a steep grade when I discov­ ered a man at the ton of the grade, about a quarter of a mile distant, com­ ing toward us on a run, swinging his hat and shouting at the top of his voice for us to stop, or we would run over his horse. At first we thought that there had been a sudden attack on Shel­ byville by tho rebels and this was a messenger sent out to warn us. But it appeared that a break had occurred in the telegraph between Wartrace and Shelbyville, and tho operator, with -a companion, had each mounted a horse, and wero following the railroad to find tho break, and th«operator, it appear­ ed, had been so unfortunate as to ride his horse into one of the cattle-guapls, and there he lay, refusing to help him­ self. The two men had been working for an hour with rails and all sorts of Kies and otber expedients to get the rse out and on his feet, but without avail. Then they heard the puffing of the locomotive, and, thinking it would soon be upon them, to the great injury of the horre, if not warned in time, the operator had hastened out to give us warning. I waa on iho locomotive at the time, and the engineer merely slowed up; but the man was frantic, ^linking that ho was not going to stop, and that his horso would be. killed sure.y. By this time I had taken in the whole situation, and looking forward saw the horse, which had just then got a glimpse of the lo­ comotive, and pricking up his ears he jumped out of that hole as nimble as a rabbit, and in three seconds he had disappeared iu the timber, with the other man in hot pursuit on the other horse. All tiiis was unobserved by the man who was shouting to ns to hold up. The scene became ludicrous to us upon the locomotive, and 1 im­ mediately became the spokesman. “What’s the matter?" I inquired. "My horse stumbled into a cattle­ guard just a little piece ahead here, and you will have to stop and help us got him out before you can pass.” By this time the young roan had climbed upon the locomotive, and we wore but a few rods from the {dace ot accident, where a dozen or more rails were sticking out from tho hole where the horse had lain. We all professed an entire disbelief in his story, and ac­ cused him of being a rebel guerrilla, with evil designs upon us. “I am no rebel," he replied. “I am the telegraph-operator at Shelbyville, and you will find my horse iu the bole, just as I have told you, and my com­ rade and I have been trying for on hour to get him out.” •Well, here is the hole,” said L as the locomotive stopped, and the flxe- 8. Bird, who ha* since recommitted it to the care of the Palmetto Guard. can imagine ths look Of fright and ter­ ror that came over the countenance of this telegraph operator wheu he came to look into the hole and found no horse there. He even examined the depressions and crevices, as though the horse might have shrunk to the di­ mensions of a mouse. Then be sur­ veyed the surrounding scenery, and at length cast his eyes to the tops of the surrounding trees, and looked through the branches, and then far off toward the clouds, as though that horso and his comrade and his comrade’s horse must bo visible somewhere. But neither sight nor sound of horses or comrade was apparent, - and yet less than five minutes before he had left them at that very spot, with his own horse so tight in the hole that Lo had thought it would be necessary to draw him out by the power of the locomoFor at least three minutes ho was sjMjechless. Then, heaving a sigh, he remarked: “If that don’t get .me! I havcheard of witchcraft, and after this I shall believe in it.” We had some difficulty in restrain­ ing our laughter, but now we all broke out io to boisterous hilarity, and the great mystery was explained to the operator, ana to accommodate him we rau back about a mile, found the break, repaired the wire, and when we arrived in Shelbyville, the operator found his horse and comrade, but it is doubtful whether ho ever fully recov­ ered from tho shock occasioned by his conversion to tho doctrine of witch­ craft. Kept a Bear. . HE Union soldiers of tho extreme North_ cm and Middle \ States wero often Jamusod and somehA times puzzled at the Southern dialect. One such case hapI1A** pened to myself, which I have often _ related but -never be­ fore put in print. After the defeat of the Confederate army at Kenesaw Mountain and their retreat toward At­ lanta, the regiment to which I belonged was assigned to post duty at Marietta, Ga., for a short time, until we could got our “cracker brigade" into proper working order to supply the advancing army, and as a partial relief from the monotony of camp life I engaged day board with a Mrs. Reeves, in the vil­ lage of Marietta. Soon after beiqg domiciled there I inquired where her husband was. She said he had gone with the Southern armv; then she went on to relate that he had success­ fully resisted all appeals to join the army. Even Governor Brown had coaxed him in person, all in vain; so .they took him along by force. Very naturally I concluded ho was a person of great importance in that vicinity, and inquired what business or occupa­ tion Mr. Reeves was engaged in before his unforced absence. “Ho kep’ a bear." “Your husband was in tho show bus­ iness ?” I queried by way of a feeler to get at the facts. She answered me with evident sur­ prise at my ignorance, and a rising in­ flection of the voice: “No, sah.' He kep’ a bear, nah.’’ “Yes, I understand; but really, madam, I can not understand why he kept a bear if he was not in the show business." “He kep’a bear, sah; a bear where he sold liquor, sah.” “Oh, yes; I see; Your husband was in the saloon business, as wo Yankees would say. Oh, yes; excuse me; I didn't exactly understand your state­ ment." Her pronunciation of the word bar had entirely misled me as to her meaning. T The Confederate Flag;. URING our civil ceded States used at first distinctive , March, 1861, the Confederate Con­ gress adopted the so-called “stars and bars of equal width, the middle one white, the others red, with a blue union containing nine white stars arranged in a circle. The resemblance of this to the “stars and stripes" led to confusion and mistakes in the field; and in September, 1881, a battle-flag was adopted—a red field charged with a blue saltire, with a nar­ row border of white, on which were displayed thirteen white stars. In 1883 the “stars and bars" was supElanted by a flag with a white field, aving the battle-flag for a union. Tho flag of 1863 waa found deficient in ser­ vice, it being liable to be mistaken for a flag of truce; and on February 4, 1865, the outer half of the field be­ yond the union was covered with a ver­ tical red bar. This was the last flag of the Confederacy. The first secession flag was actually raised in 1860, before the passage of the ordinance of secession by the State of South Carolina. Capt Edward Mills,of the bark “Joees,” belonging to the Palmetto Line of New York pack­ ets, raised this flag at his masthead iu New York harbor, and his vessel was mobbed; but they could not compel him to strike his colors. On his re­ turn a gold-headed palmetto cane was presented to him by some of the Pal­ metto Guard, and in return he trans­ ferred to them the custody of the flag. The secession of the State was quickly followed by aggressive military move­ ments. and the flag accompanied the Palmetto Guard in their various en­ campments. * At tho siege of Sumter it marked their parade ground, and was used in the truce boat that met the United States barges. The Palmetto Guards occupied the fort immediately after the surrender of Anderson; and this flag was the first raised on its walk after the salute, and before F. J. Moms had arrived at thsBort.

The latter were sent as models or ‘pat­ terns,’ from which a limitless supply might have been cast, but the immi­ nence of the attack on Sumter was such that there was no time for the work. “Accordingly, ths gun, on a low rosewood carriage, waa by tho readiest means conveyed to Cumming* Point at night, and waa erected to the right of the celebrat d iron battery of th-eeinch columbiads, and to the left of the three ten-inch mortars, which were concealed by a redan bn ostw/irkA deep-cut embrasure in this latter re­ vealed the .diminutive steel 'pie.e at daybreak on the historical morning, peering out upon tho angle of the grim fort in the bay where Captain Double­ day was in command. From this gun the venerable Edmund Ruffin of Vir­ ginia fired the first shot at or ne^r 7 JlO a. m., which, .after a slmeking and fe­ rocious transit, struck Sumter »on the ‘ southeasterly angle. "This little \\ hitworth was a present from Mr. Prioleau to tho State of South Carolina, and this.primitive dis­ charge on the eventful morning signal­ ized ‘the very first employment of rifled artillery in war in the history of the world.’ “It might be added that the limited ammunition was divided at long dis­ tances during the progress of the bom­ bardment, and that every shot struck Fort Sumter. The gun was afterward placed on a boat named the Lady Da­ vis, and did effective work in harbor defense and fleet annoyance." > A Haughriy Rebel. of INthethewar,lastby winter reason of sickness, I became Separated from my regiment, but upon । recovery I got a full share of soldiering at Nashville, under old Pap Thomas, when we sent Hood flying southward. I had good opportunity on this occasion to note the valor of our colored troops, who are said to have “fought nobly.” One day two colored soldiers came into camp with a dilapidated but haughty Confederate Captain. He had strayed beyond his lines and the colored boys somehow got onto the business and they -went for him. “Hold on dar, boss," said the leading one, advancing upon him with fixed bayonet “What do you mean, you black rascal, to talk to me in that manner?” replied the Confederate. “Hear dat now; black rascal, you say? Don’t you 'peat any more such language to us—we s United States soldiers, wo is, and don’t you talk back.” The Confederate endeavor­ ed first to threaten, but finding that would not do. then to coax, and then to bribe, all of which failed, Then falling bock again upon his dignity he said it was highly improper that he should surrender to two colored sol­ diers, as he was a Captain. Ha pro­ posed that one of the soldiers should go to camp and get an officer while the other soldier remained to guard him. At this the two soldiers laughed hearti­ ly, and then they began to prick him with their bayonets, and in this manner they walked 'him into camp, the sorriestrlooking rebel I ever saw. He de­ manded of our officers that they should punish the black scoundrels for their insults to him. “Insults!" shouted Lieutenant Simmons, of my regiment. “They are incapable of insulting you. That you are alive now is evidence of their generous and noble character. If the situation had been reversed you would have killed them.” J. K. M., 78th Hl. Out of the Hox’s Reach.

Therefore, the importance of Wrly and effective treatment cannot bo overestimated. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral may always be relied upon for the speedy cure of a Cold or Cough. , Last January I was attacked with a severe Cold, which, by neglect and fre­ quent ex|*o*ures, became worse, finally settling on my lungs. A terrible cough soon followed, accompanied by pains in the chest, from which I suffered intensely. After trying various remedies, without obtaining relief, I commenced taking Ayer'S Cherry Pectoral, and waa Speedily Cured. I am satisfied that this remedy saved my life. — Jno. Webster, Pawtucket, K. 1. I contracted a severe cold, which sud­ denly developed into Pneumonia, present­ ing 'dangerous and-obstiuate symptoms. My physician at once ordered the use of Ayer's Cherrv Pectoral. His instrnettens were followed, and the result waa a rapid and permanent cure.—II. E. Simpson, Rogers Prairie, Texas. Two rears ago I suffered from a severe Cold which settled on my Lungs. I con­ sulted various physician*, and took the medicine* they prescribed, but received only temporary relief. A friend induced me to try Ayers Cherry Pectoral. After taking two bottles of this medicine I was cured. Since then I have given the Pec­ toral to my children, and consider it The Best Remedy for Colds. Coughs, and all Throat and Lung diseases, ever used In my family.— Robert Vanderpool, Meadville, Pa. Some time ago I took a alight Cold, which, being neglected, grew worse, and settled on my lungs. I had a hacking cough, and was very weak. Those who knew me best considered my life to bo In great danger. I continued to suffer until I commenced using Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. Less than one bottle of this v»L nable rnedi ine cured me, and I feel that I owe the preservation of my life to its curative ttowers.—Mrs. Ann Lockwood, Akron. New York. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral is considered, here, the one great remedy for all diseases of tbe throat and lungs, and is more in demand than any other medicine of its class. — J. F. Roberts, Magnolia, Ark.

It is somewhat surprising that Henry George and Dr. McGlynn should have fallen out of the trundle bed where they formerly slept together so peace­ fully. True, it was a very narrow bed, but everyone thought they were narrow enough to tit it.; The Detroit Evening Journal makes a fttsosational statement that a scheme has been formed to send Gov. Luce to congress from the Third district. Oh, no! thank you, Mr. Journal. Barry county will name the next candidate for congress from this district. The congressional election in the lltb district was probably the hottest ever waged in this state. Great interests were at stake and it was simply a na­ tional contest. Both sides spent money as freely as water.

The dismissal of a New England pas­ tor who drew a salary of only $850 a year, because be had acquired the to­ baccohabit, may have been prompted by a praiseworthy motive after all. Perhaps the congregation concluded that no man with that income should indulge in such extravagance. A dead congressman is a picnic. “The bill for the funeral of the late congress­ man Mofiatt, recently allowed by the house committee od accounts, is for $1276 48, the smallest fora congression­ al funeral in many years. Of this sum over $1000 was for the special train and 'expense of members en route?

The winter wren is a crystalline contralto tenor. The rapidity of it* song defies lightning and consequently analysis. The blue bird, as Mr. Beecher said, always seems to be about to sing something, but never gets there. The vulture is the musical discord of the bird family. Ita voice, which is even more hoarae than that of the blue jay, is perceptibly vitiated by ita in­ temperate habits. The vulture is the drunkard of the birds.

The Baltimore Journal of Com­ merce is authority for the statement that the thirteen principal Southern ports show an increase of $22,500,000 in the amount of tbeir exports for the last ton months, as compared with the amount for the corresponding period* of 1880. Baltimore, New Orleans and Savannah show an average gain of $4.­ 000,000 each, Norfolk over $2,500,000, and Yorktown nearly $3,000,000. While the export trade of the Southern States has been thus increasing, the North­ ern porta, with the exception of Phila­ delphia, show a falling off. New York has lost $3,700,000, Boston $2,700,000, Portland $400,030, and San Francisco nearly $5,000,000. Philadelphia has gained $9,000,000. The total decrease in the North ia $11,309,000.

The Williams Evaporator Company are building forty evaporators, which will be ready for market by April 1st. We will probably escape a spring freshet this year, as the snow has gone off so gradually, and it is not probable that we will have another very heavy fall. _________ Saturday was an unusually busy day for our merchants. The farmers real­ ized that it was about the wind-up of the good sleighing and made good use of it. _________ The furnaces at the icbool building are in bad condition, caused by the burning out of toe fire-boxes, which wiU probably necessitate the putting in of new furnaces before another winter. All the players of the Nashville base ball team have been signed for the sea­ son of 1888 with the exception of Pitch­ er, H. W. Wai rath, who expects to leave the profession and go to Ovid to work at harness-making. The B. C. & B.

The roof was whirled from the building and the thick walls began to crumble in.

Many of thoto Injured are suffering from wounds which maycrinple them for life, and some cannot survive their hurt*.

What was her dismay aud terror to discover a party of Indians approach­ ing, and to see quite plainly a bound' captivo m their midst As they drew nearer, her lips could scarcely repress a cry of horror when she recognized their captive to bo Les­ ter Gray. Id that one supreme mo­ ment Nora knew her heart even as Lester Gray had known his from the moment of their first meeting. “Oh, what must I do! how can I help him—they ore taking him off to torture him to death. Uh, my heart — how wildly it beats!” The party of Indians hastened for-, ward,dragging Lester along with them. They passed so near her she could almost have touched them, and Nora saw that the thonjis that bound Les­ ter’s wrists had brought forth blood, his wristbands were bright with the crimson flow. His tread was firm, however, and his dark eyes glanced about him keenly. “Oh, if I only dared let’ him know how .near I am to him, bnt I cannot, I dare not, but the moving of a vine might end in all our deaths. There, they have passed; oh, how thankful I am, and Skete is still asleep. 1 must wake him soon snd tell him what I have discovered" A few pinutes she sat watching the peaceful face of Skete and wondering what could have brought Lester Gray so far up in the mountains, when a sudden thought struck her, a revela­ tion that caused her checks to take on a warmer color. “He camo to rescue me. Ah, my heart tells me os much, aud oh, what if his life should bo sacrificed. My dear, dear friend. I will rescue you if possibe. God surely will tell mo how.*” Then as she was about to bend over Skete and give him the shaking neces­ sary to break his profound slumber, she fancied she saw something move down the trail a short distance from where tho Indians and their captive had appeared. What could it be? Readlng on the Nails. He who has white spots on his nails is fond of tho society of ladies, but is fickle in his attachment*. He who keeps them well rounded at the tips is a proud man. He whose nails are de­ tached from tho finger at the further extremities, and when cut showing a larger proportion of tho finder than usual, ought never to got mnrned, as it would be a wonder if he were master of his own house, for short nails betok­ en patience, good-nottfre, and abovo all resignation under severe trials. ' Nails that remain long after being cut level with the finger end are a sign of generosity. Transparent nails with light red mark a cheerful, gentle, and amiable disposition. Lovers with trans­ parent nails usually carry their passion to the very verge of madness. If you come across a man with long and point­ ed noils you may take it that he is either a player of the guitar, a tailor, or an attorney. He who keeps his nails somewhat long, round, and tipped with black is a romantic poet. Tho owner of very round and smooth nails is of a peaceable and conciliatory disposition. Ho who has tho nail of his right thumb slightly notched is a regular glutton, even nibbling at him­ self, as when having nothing eatable at hand, he falls to biting his own finger nails. And, lastly, he who koops his nails irregularly cut is bMty and de­ termined. Men who have not the pa­ tience to cut their nails properly gen­ erally come to grief; most of them commit suicide or get married.

In fact, Wilmington was tho most popular port of departure throughout the war. As late m 1861, oven from that port it wm a hazardous undertaking, but the necessity of get­ ting fixed ammunition for thtf English guns used in the Confederate army, m well as other commercial needs, there were always vessels ready to run tho risk. These supplies were to be had at Nassau, on the island of New Provi­ dence, one ol the English Bahamas, a town that grew to great commercial importance during the war. The pressing demands and rigid economies of war did not deprive the ladies of the South of a desire to add to their wardrobe tho newer manufac­ tured articles and fabrics of other countries, or of a wish to keep abreast of the fMhions of the day. For this reason there were not wanting ladies who were eager to run the blockade in order to supply themselves and their friends with such things as were not to be had otherwise. The necessity of having fast boats brought in new iron ones of English make, in order to suc­ cessfully run the line of Federal gun­ boats which seemed omnipresent From two lady friends I have tho following narrative of their experiences in the fall of 1364: Through the influ­ ence of some prominent gentlemen, permission was given by Captain Davis, of.the new iron steamer Eugenio, for them to come on board on the :M of October, m the boat would leave that night Ladies were generally denied passage, and only gained their point through the intercession of some gov­ ernment officer—even then every ex­ cuse possible was made use of to dis­ courage them. Promptly at 3 p. m. the two ladies went on board. They were met at the gangway by the Capta n, who plainly told them that they were running tho risk of losing their lives or of being erippled, as he rarely made a trip but what the vessel re­ ceived from one to a dozen shots. It was of no use; the project had been considered too long by tho ladies to be daunted by anything short of the actual shots themselves. The steamer left the wharf at Wil­ mington, amid the cheers and good wishes of friends, at a time to bring them opposite Fort Fisher about dark. A few moments’ tarry tor lost instruc­ tions, and the departing signal wm given from the fort, and the fMt , steamer headed for the broad Atlantic. Not a light was allowed to attract the notice of the enemy, while the Cap­ tain with his night-glass continually swept the dark horizon for signs of gunboats. Hour after hour the boat continued on without disturbance. Gradually all had retired but the watch. The expectation of attack, which had been entertained at first, hod died away, and we were comparatively safe. To use the narrator’s own words, "We slept with our ears open, mo­ mentarily expecting to hear the noise Df conflict, but none came.” By break of day we were out on deck to see for ourselves. We wore in the region of tho Gulf stream, and the Captain, whose gruff manners hod softened since we came on board, pointed out to us, through his glass, a dork speck in our rear, which he said wm a Yankee gunboat, and coming after us. Wo gradually lost sight of the dark spot, and we continued on unmolested and without seeing another vesse’.. “Never mind,” the Captain said, on out jesting him in regard to the Yan­ kee gunboats; "we will be sure to have a brush with them before we get back, and I would advise you both to wear life-preservers all the time on our return trip. ” As we anchored in the harbor at Nassau, we were Mtonished at the apparent commercial importance of the place. A quantity of shipping filled the harbor, including a largo number of English war vessels. The trade of the place wm wholly depend­ ent on blockade-running, and, judging from appearances, it mpst be pretty suocesafnl. We found everything wo could desire in tbe way of goods, and soon supplied our wauta and had them securely on shipixmrd. As the harbor was rarely without a Federal gunboat on the watch for '‘blockade-runners," it was neceesary to use every precaution to leave the harbor unobserved, and at night We spent several days, after taking on our cargo, waiting a good opportunity to leave. We had also ■ increased our pMscnger-list by the ad­ dition of several ladies returning to had been vainly endeavoring to get recognition of the Confederacy as an independent government. The first dark night we quietly slip­ ped anchor aud slowly moved out of the harbor, with so little noise that we hardly beard the machinery ourselves. As no lights were allowed, the passen­ gers soon retired to their rooms. Nothing occurred to break the monot­ ony of tho night. As my friend and myself were a little uneasy m to what might happen, we were awake and out on deck by daylight We saw the Cap­ tain on the bridge intently watching in the direction to onr left, occasionally lowering his glass, aud then again sweeping the horizon in the same di­ rection. After a little he caught sight of us and came down to the -deck, say­ ing: “I feel trouble coming, and I am truly sorry I have Indies on board.'* “Never fear, Captain,” I answered, “we would come, and you must not feel your responsibility so deeply. We will try and not disgrace our causa or our shipmates. ” “You mistake my meaning, ladies. It is a fear of physical injury to your­ selves I dread, and not a doubt m to your moral courage to f*oo any danger." Calling the clerk to us, he again mounted the bridge and wm busy with his glass. The other passengers soon came on deck, and conversation became general. As the Captain passed us later in the day one of the gentlemen asked: "Anything in sight, Captain?” “Yes; one of tho enemy’s gunboats is running parallel with us, ready to intercept onr course when wo shall at­ tempt to run for Capo Fear." “Is there no woy to avoid the gun­ boats?" another asked. “None, except in the darkness we may possibly double back and cross in 11 You mistake my meaning, ladie*.' our enemy’s roar.

At night our course was reversed for some time, and then made direct for Wilmington? Our speed wm increased ai\d kept up after we supposed we had crossed the track of the gunboat Daylight again found us up aud out watching. Right before us. a few miles away, was a Federal gunboat. Onr course hod been chang­ ed m soon as daylight had discovered to us the gunboat. As wo were watch­ ing, a puff of white smoke shot out of the side of tho Federal boat, and di­ rectly a great swash in the water in front of us.' Another puff, and another, and a crash of something near tho bridge, with splinters flying, told us we were in the midst of Yankee shot Word to in arease the fires wm sent be­ low. We began to tremble, but did not know where to go. The Captain, noticing us, said as quietly m possible: “If you are not too much afraid you are better off ’where you are than in the cabin. ” Reassured by the words and cool­ ness, we remained. Crash, crash, went two more shots, one in the bag­ gage room, and then we appeared to be gaining headway and uoon got out of range. We made fMt time into Wilmington, where we were glad to remain and not try “blockade running" KJust say that I have an eternal feel­ ing of spite against that particular Yankee gunboat, as one of their shots destroyed a whole trunkful of our best purchases.

Now and then a murmur of dis­ satisfaction could be heard from some pt the party, for we hod been on short rations for some time, and to-day we were expecting a grand New Year’s dinner. It was on that memorable New dear’s day of 1804. As evening ap­ proached more scouts came iu, bring­ ing the news that several small parties of Indians had been seen during the day lurking around; but no trouble wm apprehended, as everything hod been quiet for some time. Just as the sun wm sinking behind tho monntain'two men rode into camp, and they were at once recognized m the two men in charge of the supply wagon. They were in such a frozen condition that it wm some time before they could tell what was wrong. By degrees they told how they had desert­ ed the wagon about ten miles away, and rode into camp as fMt as possible, to save themselves from freezing. A volunteer wm then called for to go after the wagon, and the lot fell to myself. I straddled my leader, took n full team with me; then, by running and riding to keep from freezing, it wm not long before I was hitched up ready to return.

About an hour before the time set for the surprise, we went into ambush and prepared’ to meet them. That cold hotir drugged slowly by; but at last we heard their coming. When they were opposite to us they halted and waited for all to come up’; then came the order to “charge!" Tho murdering procession was soon not twenty paces away; yet not a sound could be heard.

The Grandeat Figure of the Greatest Civil War of the World. At a banquet in Brooklyn, N. Y., in ob> ser'vance ot Lincoln's birthday, CoL Rob­ ert G. Ingersoll. responding to the toast •■Abraham Lincoln," spoke as follows: “Abraham Lincoln was one of tbe few who saw that slavery could not exist forever, lie waa born in a cabin—laid in tbe lap of the poor—born in a cabin in tho wildprnoaa of Kentucky, yot he rose to snch a supreme and epiendid bight that fame never readied higher than hu brow when putting hia laurels oo tho brow of a human being. He waa a man wbo waa true to himself. and. for that reason was true toothers. He waa a strange ming­ ling of mirth and tears, of the perfect and grotesque, of Socrates and Ilabe.lam, of JEaop and ot Marcus Aurelius, of all that waa noble and just, of mercy aud honesty, merciful, wise, lovable, and divine—aud all consecrated to uio uao of man, while through all aud over all wa, an over­ whelming sansp of chivalry and loyalty, and above all thir shadow of a perfect mind. Of nearly all tho great characters of history wo know nothing of their peculiarities^. About tho oaks of these great mqi, and about the roots of these oaks, wo know nothing of the earth that clings to them. Washington him­ self is now a steel engraving. About tho real man who lived, who loved, who schemed, aud who succeeded, we know nothing. 'Die glass through which we look at him ia of such high magnii ving power that the features are indis­ tinct. Hundreds of people arq now engaged smoothing out tho lines in Lincoln's face so that ho may be known, not as ho really was, but, according to their poor standard, as ho should have been. “Abraham Liueoln was not a typo; ho stands aline— no ancestors, no followers, aud no successor*. Ho had the advautage of liv­ ing ia a new country, tbo advantage of social equality, of ncroonai freedom, of seeing in tho horizon of hia life the perpetual star of hope. Ho knew aud mingled with men of every kind, and liecanie familiar with tho best book*. In a now country you must pos­ sess at least three qualities—honesty, cour­ age aud generosity. In cultivated society, cultivation is often more important than soil; aud, while a polished counterfeit sometimes parses more readily than tbe blurred genu­ ine, it is nccoBMry only to observe the un­ certain laws of society to be honest enough to kwp out of tho penitentiary, and generous enongn to subscribe in public when the sub­ scription can be defined as a business invest­ ment. In a now country character is essen­ tial; in tho old reputation ia often sufficient In tho new they find what a man is; in tho old ho generally passes for what ho resem­ bles. People separated by distance are much nearer together than thoeo divided by the wait of casta “Lincoln never finished his education, al­ though he was always an inquirer and a sacker after knowledge You have no idea how many mon are spoiled by what is called education. For tho most part colleges arc where pebbles are polished aud diamonds are dimmed. If bhakapcare had graduated at Ox­ ford he might have been a quibbling attorney or a poor parson. Lincoln waa a mapy-sided man, as reliable as tho direction of gravity. Hia words were kind as mercy, and gave a per­ fect imago of his thought Ho was never afraid to ask, never too dignified to admit that he did not kuow. “Lincoln waa natural in his life and thought, master of tho story-telling art, liberal in speech, using any word which wit would dis­ infect He waa a logician. Ho did not say what he thought others thought, but what ho thought Hu was sincerely natural. If you wish to Is sublime you must keep close to the grass. Too much polish suggests insinoerlty. If yon wish to know what is the difference between an orator and au elocutionist, read Lincoln's wondrous words at Gettysburg and then read the speech of Edward Everett Tho oration of Lincoln will never bo forgotten; it will live until languages are dpad and lipa are dust. The speech of Everett will never bo road. Lincoln waa an immense personality, firm but not obstinate—obstinacy is ogotlam, firmnoM is heroism. Ho influenced others, and they submitted to him. He was severe to himself, and for that reason lenient to oth­ ers, and appeared to apologize for being kinder than his follows. Ho did merciful things as stealthily as others committed crimei Ho did snd said tho noblest deeds and words with that nobleness that ih the grace of modesty. Everything for principle, nothing for money, everything for independ­ ence. Where no pnnocplo was involved eas­ ily swayed, willing to go somewhere if In tbe right direction; willing to stop sometimes; but Iw would not go back, and tie wonld not go away. Ho knew that fight waa needed and full of chances; he knew that slavery had defenders, but no 'defense, and that those who advocated tho right must win some time. Ho was neither tyrant or slava Nothing dis­ closes real character like the use of txiwcr, and it was the quality of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, ho never abpsod it except on tho side of mercy.. Wealth could not pvrchaao power, could not awe this divine, this loving man, He know no fear except tbo fear of doing wrong. Ho was tho embodiment of self-denial and courage. Ho spoke not to upbraid, but tqoouvinca He raisod.his hands, not to strike but m benediction, and lived to see pearls of tears on the chocks of the wives whoso husbands be had saved from death. Lincoln was tho grandest figure of tho greatest civil war of tbo world." 1 2r‘an a 0°“““. nity than a spond thrift," and ss a rule the affirmative won. The man who sjionds hia money so freely as to entitle him to tbe distinction of being called a spendthrift, is generally a jolly, good-hearted fellow who treats the world better than the world treats him. When he is in luck .everything goes, as the boys now days say, and, when he ia broke, he is rarely ever so fortu­ nate as to find friends willing to part with their money to relieve hia distress. But for all that I think ho, as a role, fares better than tho miser, for the rea­ son that ho gets some pleasure out of monpy while he has it, besides Spendingit in a way that others also get some good from it. But the miser’s pleas­ ure is only in getting money aud in keeping it Spending it gives him misery and anguish beyond description. I can understand how a spendthrift can be considerable of a philosopher, in his way, reasoning that money can do him no good except he use it to-day, that he can’t take it with him after death, and as life is uncertain, his only certainty of enjoying it is to spend it as he goes along. But the miser is a different sort of an idiot altogether. It is generally said that the spendthrift is ono who takes no thought for tho mor­ row, bnj, according to my way of look­ ing at it, tho miser is the follow who doesn’t think much about the future, or, if ho did ho would try to do some good with his money hero in this world. The fact is, George, if a man will only use a little common sense ho need never bo either a spendthrift or a miser. It’s the swing of the mental pendulum that regulates actions. All along the banka of tho stream of timo is a continuous Scylla on ouojiand aud a Charybdis on the other, and man’s only safety lies in keeping in the mid­ dle of tho current. In plainer words, avoid extremes. A man who is a vic­ tim of avarice never has any fun him­ self nor furnishes any for anybody else. And he generally dies a bankrupt after all, bankrupt in mind and heart and in all those qualities that form the com­ ponent parts in every grand and noble human character. Yours for sense, ‘ UycLE Sam. Gladstone’s Canes. During a visit to Hawarden, Mr. Willis, while in the library, eaid that ho had promised his wife to try and induce Mr. Gladstone to part with a walking-stick, that he might carry it off os a souvenir of the day. The great chief smiled, aud, going to a corner, produced a thick, serviceable baton. “I cannot give you this,” ho said, look­ ing at it os if it were an old friend. “I bought it five-and-twenty years ago at” —mentioning some Gaelic place end­ ing in fccchan—“and it has been many u mile with me since." I at once thought I could-recognize it as the fa­ mous "piece of timber’’ lost by Dr. Johnson more than a century ago in tho Hebrides, and about which ho made Boswell so miserable. "You will get it again, sir," said Jamie; “it cannot have been stolen.” “I don’|know as to that, sir,” thundered the lexicographer. “Consider tho temptation it must have been. It is tho only piece of timber on those islands." And sn pleased was the great Sam with his joke that it re­ stored him to equanimity and good-hu­ mor. But to return to -Hawarden. Mrs. Gladstone was dispatched to bring in an assortment of walking-sticks, and soon reappeared with some that were marvels of eccentricity. “No, my dear,” ho exclaimed; “not these. They are eccentric. They will be recognized. They were given to me. I cannot give away what were given to me.” Mrs. Gladstone explained that they were only brought fpr inspection as curiosi­ ties, and that more sticks were coming. Meanwhile we inspected those brought. One of them, of a light­ colored wood, consisted of curious coils and convolutions, and looked like the emblem associated with /Eaculapius, the son of Apollo and Coroms, whom Chiron taught the art of heal­ ing ; or like the cadneeus of Hermes. Another was carved like a Gothic scep­ ter, and, turning it about I read aloud the legend that ran twining around its length, "Homo Bule for Scotland." This arrested Mr. Gladstone’s atten­ tion, and he slowly re-read it “Well,” ho at length observed, “whatever tho Scotch mako up their mind to ask for they will get” And then ho added: “Butl don’t think they will want much. ” By this timo other sticks were brought, but if possible, still more grotesque. One looked as if it had tumbled down and broken its knee, which had reset itself with the most hideous excresconceit “No, no!” cried our boat; “not WOMAN’N C05GKE.SS. that either, my dear.

In 1852 Mr. Corcoran, having acquired a large fortune, retired from the banking house of Corcoran k Biggs and devoted himself to philanthropy. The listot his charities ana his benefactions to public in­ stitutions is a long one. Mr. Corcoran has been a beneficent patron of art and edu­ cation. Tho Corcoran Art Gallery, begun ic 1859, cost $600,000. Before the structuro was finished the war broke out Mr. Corcoran went to Europe, preferring, it is said, a residence abroad during his de­ clining years to remaining here in the midst of civil strife. His abeenoe, however, was construed as hostile to the Govern­ ment The Corcoran Art Gallery building was seized and occupied during tho war by tho quartermaster-general's office. Mr. Corcoran’s house would likewise have been confiscated, but tho French minister pro­ tected it, claiming that he had rented it. After the war, Mr. Corcoran having re­ tained, the art gallery was completed. Mr. Corcoran placed in it his own private art collections, valued at $100,009, endowed tho institution with $900,000. and formally presented it to the public on Washington's birthday, 1872. Since then ho has bought from his private purse and presented to tho gallery mSiny notable paintings and sculptures. The gallery has, from its munificent endowment, an income of $60,000 a year. Mr. Corcoran, about the same time erected and endowed the Louise home for ladies who have seen better days Upon this institution he expended abou $500,000. Mr. Corcoran's domestic life was sad­ dened by tho early death of his wife, and afterward by the death of hia daughter, soon after she entered upon womanhood. In later years, however, hia home has been brightened by the presence of his grand­ children, aud the little circle about him has beta a happy one. His immediate family consists of two grandsons, one 25, the other 23 years of age, and a grand­ daughter 20 years old. These grandchil­ dren have lived with Mr. Corcoran, hav­ ing been reared under the care of an aunt. Miss Eustis. He has a nephew who is a planter in Arkansas, and a niece who is married to Mr. C. N. Thom. Another niece is married to Mr. C. M. Matthews, molasses produced from the map distilled spirits or alcohol to be used for scientlflo or manufacturing purposes or in tbe arts..

The coolie man heated the coins, cut them into narrow pieces,, of which he welded the ends together, using hammer and anvil, thus making.' a bar four or five inches long, and, as I remember two or three lines in width and thickness. Covering oneend of the strip of metal with damp­ clay, to protect his fingers from the heat, the bangle-maker stuck the silvarinto tbe diminutive charcoal fire, which, he set aglow by blowing through a tube similar in appearance to a glass­ blower’s pipe- when thff metal was at­ a dull red heat he beat it soundly, forging it round anji smooth to the di­ ameter of telegraph wire; then, care­ fully bending it in a circle, joined thetwo ends, welding them together neat­ ly and with dispatch.

Every member is drawing his pay tho same as if ho were at work. An old member of the order asserted that the Brotherhood could pay every striker his wages for a year Without assessing its members a dollar. “If the strike is still on th-n,” he con­ tinued, “there isn’t nn engineer who has a job that won’t respond to a call of $5 to fSO. It’s a war of capital. We have ns much money to spend in this fight as the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Road.

During the summing np by counsel, Judge Laughlin, one of tho attorneys for the prosecution, called Irons an anarchist, whereupon Irons called Mr. Laughlin a liar. Tbe Judge paid no attention to the remark of Irons, but a moment later bitterly denounced him au au agitator and an anarchist of the Spies and Johann Most typo. Irons sprang to his feet, and in a highly excited manner and still louder voice, branded the Judge as a liar. Tne scene was quite dramatic and exciting, but two deputy sheriffs soon squelched tho irate defendant, and Mr. Laughlin continued his speech. It always bothers a Frenchman who is learning English to read one day that a murder has been committed and. the next day tho murderer has been committed.

They had taken the places of the Reading men in tho recent strike, ond bad often acted in a mean and dastardly spirit toward tho Knights of Labor, bnt this, be said, would not justify tho Knights in taking their places in tho present strike on tbe Burlington road.

How tho Work of Constructing tho Celebrated Tunnel Was Conceived and Executed. An Engineering Blunder fume Near Defeating the Whole Flan of t Escape. BY GEN. HARRISON C. HOBART. HE battles of Chick­ amauga were fought on the 19th aud 2<ith of September, 1863; tho Twenty-first Wis­ consin, which I then commanded, formed a part of Thcfcnas’ memorable line, and fought through tho battles of Saturday and Sunday. At tho close of the sec­ ond day the tide of battle was turning against ns. To avoid a flank move­ ment our brigade was ordered to leave the breastworks and fall back to a sec­ ond position, where only a few men were rallied. Being tbe ranking officer among those who rallied, I directed the men to cut their wav through to our re­ treating lino. I was on the loft of this movement,to the rear, and, to avoid the approach of horsemen, rapidly passed to the left, through a dense cluster of small pines, and instantly found myself in the immediate front of a rebel line of infantry. I halted, being dis­ mounted, and an officer advanced and offered his bond, saying that he was glad to see me, and proposed to intro­ duce me to his commander, General Cleburne. I replied that 1 was not particularly glad to see him, but, under the circumstances, should not decline the invitation. It was now aftcr^ sun-down, and the lost guns of the terrible battle of Chick­ amauga were dying away along the hills of Mission Ridge. A large num­ ber of prisoners of war were soon gath­ ered and marched to tho enemy’s roar, across the Chickamauga. Here we wit­ nessed tho fearful results of the battle. The ground strewed with.the dead and wounded, tho shuttered fragments of transportation, and a general demoral­ ization among the forces, told tho fear- LIBBY PRISON. ful price which tho enemy had paid for their victory. Moro thun 1.501) soldiers, prisoners of war, camped by a large spring to pass tho remainder of a cold night, some without blankets or over­ coats, and all without provisions. Tho next day wo marched thirty miles to Tunnel .Hill, where wo obtained onr first rations from tho enemy. On the march our only food wasMrom a field of green sorghum. At Tunnel Hill we took box-cars for Atlanta, and wore marched to an open field outside tho city. The next morning we were ordered to take the ears and proceed on our way to Richmond. On tho last day of September, after traveling more than eight hundred miles from the battle-field of Chicka­ mauga, we arrived at Richmond, and the ollicers of the Cumberland army, to the number of about two hundred and fifty, were marched to Libby Prison. This building has a front of about 140 feet, with a depth of about 185. There are nine rooms, each 102 feet long by 45 wide. The height of the ceiling from the floor is about seven feet. The building is divided into throe apartments by brick walls, and thjre is a basement below. On enter­ ing the prison everything of value was taken from us. We saved some money by sewing it in the seams of our clothes before reaching Uichmond. Tho whole number of officers of the army and navy in prison at this time was about 1,100—all having access to each other, except those in the hospital. There were no beds_ or chairs, and all slept on tho floor.' I shared a horse blanket with Surgeon Dixon, of Wisconsin, which was tho only bedding we had for some time. Our bread was made of unbolted corn, anil was cold and clam­ my. We were sometimes furnished with fresh beef, corn beef, aud some­ times with rice and vegetable soup. At one time wo had no meat for nine days. There was no glass in tho win­ dows. Everything was overrun with vermin. Officers were permitted to write home three times a week. Every­ thing was resorted to to kill time. Wo played chess, cards, opened a theater, organized a band of minstrels,delivered lectures, established schools for teach­ ing dancing, singing, the French lan­ guage and military tactics, read books, published a manuscript newspaper, held debates. Our sick were removed to the room set apart, on tho ground floor, for "a hospital; and, when ono died, he was put in a box of rough boards, placed in an open wagon and rapidly driven away over the stony streets. Many schemes of escape were devis­ ed. One was for a few persons at a time to pnt on the dress of a citizen, and attempt to pass the guard as visit­ ors. A few actually recovered their liberty in this manner. Another plan was to dig a tunnel into the city sewer, which was understood to pass under the street in front of the prison, and escape through that to the river. This project might have succeeded had not GEN. HOBART 1802. nected with which the prisoners inhab­ iting the rooms above did their cook­ ing. Beneath this floor was a base­ ment, one of tho rooms in which was used as a store room. This store room was under the hospital and next to the street, and though not directly under the kitchen, was so located that it was possible to reach it by digging down-* word and rearward through tho mason­ ry work of tho chimney. From this basement room it was proposed to con­ struct a tunnol under tho street to a point beneath a shed, connected with a brick block upon the opposite side, and from this place to pass into the street -in the guise of citizens. A knowledge of this plan was confided to about twenty-five, and nothing was known of tho proceedings by tho oth­ ers until two or three days before tho escape. A tsblo knife, chisel, and spittoon were secured for working tools when operations commenced. Sufficient of the masonry was removed from the fire place to admit the passage of a man through a di ,<onal ent to the storeroom below; aud an excavation waa then made through tho foundation wall toward tho street, and the con­ struction of the tuunel proceeded nigtit by night. But two persons could work at the same time. One would enter tho hole with his tools and a small tal­ low candle, dragging tho spittoon after him attached to a string. The otb^r would fan air into the passage with his bat. and with another string would draw out the novel dirt car when load­ ed. concealing its contents beneath tho straw and rubbish iu the cellar. Each morning before daylight the working party returned to their rooms, after carefully closing the mouth of the tunnel and skillfully replacing the bricks in the chimney. An error oc­ curred during the prosecution of this work that nearly proved fatal to tbe enterprise. After a sufficient distance was supposed to have been made, an excavation was commenced to reach tlit?' top of the ground. Tho person work­ ing carefully felt his way upward, when suddenly a small amount of tho top earth fell in, and through this, he could plainly see two sentinels appa­ rently looking at him. < >ne said to the other, “1 have been hearing a strange noise in tho ground there!” After lis­ tening a short time, tho other replied that it was “nothing but rats." The working party bad not been seen. Af­ ter consultation, this opening was care­ fully filled with dirt and shored up. Tho work was then recommenced, and after digging about fifteen feet further tho objective point under tho shed was successfully reached. This tuunel re |uired about thirty days of patient, tedious, and danger­ ous labor. It was eight feet below tho street, between sixty and seventy feet in length, and barely large enough for a full-grown person to crawl through, by pulliqg and pushing himself along with his hands and feet. Among the officers entitled to merit in tho execu­ tion of this work Col. T. E Rose, of Pennsylvania, deserves particular men­ tion. When all was complete the company was organized, into two parties—the first underihe charge of Major Mc­ Donald. of ()hio, and the second was placed under my direction. The par­ ties having provided themselves with citizens' clothing, which had at differ­ ent times been sent to the prison by friends in the North, and having filled their pockets with bread anti dried meat from their boxes, commenced their .es­ cape about 7 p. m. Feb. 9, 1-Gt, Major McDonald's partly leaving first. In order to distract the attention of tho guard a dancing party with music was extem­ porized in the same room. As each one hod to pass out in the immediate presence of these Confederate soldiers, when he stepped into the streets from outside tho line, and us the guard were under orders to fire upon a prisoner escaping without even calling upon him to halt, the first men who de­ scended wore that quiet gloom so often seen in the army before going into battle. It was u living drama; dancing in one part of tho room, dark shadows disappearing through the chimney in another part, and the same shadows rcnpi>eanng on the opposite walk, and the sentinel at his post, with a voice that rang out upon the evening air, announcing: "8 o’clock, post No. 1,” and “All is well!” and at the same time a Yankee soldier was passing in his front and a line ot Yankee soldiers were crawling under his feet. The passage waa so small that the process of departure was necessarily slow; a few inches of progress only being made at each effort, and to facilitate locomo­ tion outside garments were taken off and pushed forward. By this time the proceeding had be­ come known to the whole prison, and ps ths first men emerged upon She street and quietly walked away, seen by hundreds of their fellows, who crowded to tho windows, wild excite­ ment and enthusiasm wore created,aud they rushed down to the chimney,’ clamoring for tho privilege of going out It was the intention of tho par­ ties, organized by those who construct­ ed tho tunnel, that no other/ should leave until tho next night, os it might materially .diminish their own chances of escape. But the thought of liberty aud pure air, and tho death damp of .thedark, loathsome prison, would not allow thorn to listen to any deniaL Tho men swnrmod into tho room and threatened to force their way into the tunnel. An outbroak wits*-'imminent. Each of tho original party wks to se­ lect a companion to go out, hud then the tunnel was to bo closed until tho next week, when it was to bo opeuod as a free-for-all. Major McDonald and myself then held a parley, aud it was arranged that tho rope upon which wo descended into tho basement, after the lost of tho two parties had • passed out, should be pulled up for the space of one hour; then it should bo free to all in prison. This wo did, aud 109 pris­ oners escaped througl>this tunnel .that I night, of whom fifty-seven reached our lines. Having joined my fortunes with I Colonel T. S. West, of Wisconsin, wo were among the last of the second party who crawled through. After six days of wandering we found our way back to our lines. It will remain a matter of doubt in history as to who first suggested tho tunnel method of escape. It has been claimed that CoL Streight, of Indiana, first suggested tho plan. This has been denied by tho friends of Col.’ Rose, of Pennsylvania, who was one of the most active leaders in its construction. Col. Rose, acting in conjunction with the? following persons, Maj. A. G. Hamil­ ton, of Kentucky; Maj. Geo. H. Fitz Simmons, Indiana; CapL Terence Clark, Illinois; Copt. John F. Galla- year-old boy, Al bort. Weinstein, who was diseovaied by the manager of a New York minstrel troupe, who adver­ tised for a "musical prodigy," with the idea of burlesquing young Hofmann. Among the applicants was Pro I. Lud­ wig Weinstein, who, mistaking tho ob­ ject of the advertisement, offered tho service of hw son. Tho lad was given a trial, aud with such precocious bril­ liancy did hb play that be was engaged not to burlesque, but to emulate young Hofmann’s playing. Tho two boys havo listened one to the othor, and are very good friends, though they aro not to be considered together as performers, Hofmann be­ ing immeasurably superior. Ho is a youthful genius to bo ranked with tho history of piano music, while Weinstein is only remarkably clever for his years. Woffderful ns young Hofmann’s playing seems to those who hear it, he is not without many precedents in pre­ cocity. Mozart when 3 years old amused himself picking out thirds while his sister was practicing; at 4 ho could remember melodies and had composed little pieces, and at 6 ho played in conducts and before the royal family of Qermany. When 8 ho was a composer whose productions were eagerly sought. Beethoven began nt the harpsichord at 4, at 11 was beyond tho teaching of tho time, and at 11’ was court organist Mendelssohn at 9 was a public perforftcr, and at 11 was pro­ ducing fifty or sixty compositions n year.

It seems, after all, as if Mr. Gerry had not been wholly wrong in his sur­ mises regarding tho condition of little Josef Hofmann’s health, for now comes tho startling news that tho concert given by the young virtuoso Saturday night marked also the end of his ap­ pearances in this country, so far, at least, as the present season is concerned. It is said that Casimir Hofmann, tho child's father, wrote a letter to Mr. Abbey, saying that his son is being over­ worked, and that the doctors strongly advise his withdrawal from public life for a protracted period. The letter waa not forwarded until after tho con­ cert, and, Mr. Abbey beinu away from home, the communication did not reach him until morning. It was, of course, a severe blow, tho Hofmann concerts being the most successful of Mr. Ab­ bey’s present ventures. However. Mr. Abbey had a bonanza in little Hof­ mann. Tho concerts, of which fifty-six were given, netted the snug sum of $85,000. Of this the Hofmanns, besides traveling and living expenses, bad re­ ceived but $7,500. A much more fa­ vorable contract, it is said, has been made for next year. Two Youthful Fciformers Who Play Marvelously on the Fianoiorte. Hofmann, the Ten-Year-Old Mozart, and Weinstein, a Remirkjible Imitator. Josef Hofmann, the marvelous boy pianist, who plays from memory with the technical skill of a master, aud with wonderful feeling and breadth of con­ ception, is in everything save music a thorough child. He is ten years old, the picture <3f health and perfectly un­ conscious of what a genius he is. His performances at the Metropolitan Opera House in Now York havo created an unprecedented sensation. Whenever they occur, thousands aro unable to get into tho building, vast as it is. Not a little of the enthusiasm ho has arousd is duo to his delightful childish man­ ners. Owing to the boy’s tender years his public appearances are at long inter­ vals.

The Processes of Life. , The processes of life are wonderful. Take an acorn in your hand; it is a beautiful little thing, exquisite in col­ oring and most artistic in its form, but it is ao small that you do not feel its weight, and so fragile that yon might, if you choose, crush it with your teeth, and that would be the end of it In­ stead of doing this suppose you place it in moist earth ana leave it there. Long after your body has turned to dust, and your name forgotten, a weary, traveler may stop to rest himself in the shade of a gigantic oak. There is a world of verdure blooming above him; a million leaves are rustling there; birds uro singing among the branches as they sway their long arms in the breeze; over his head aro suspended in tho air frames of stately mansions, great ribs of ship*, piers of strong bridges, whenever Ihen see fit to con­ vert the tree to these uses; and all this may come from the tiny seed that you place in the soil, and all wm lying latent in the beautiful little acorn. There is often a strange disparity be­ tween the size of a seed and the plant that is produced from it. And so the influences which determine our per­ sonal destiny and character, the acci­ dents, as they seem to us, which give direction to our pursuit*, not infre­ quently appear to be very insignificant in themselves. A casual word spoken, a gesture, even a look, may suddenly change the current of our thought and quicken us to a now existence.

General Pul­ ford is lying very ill at his home on Charlotte avenue, slowly dying, it is feared, from -wounds received during the war. He is generally known m the most desperately wounded man living, there being no parallel to his case in the records of the army. The General survived tho shock of being wounded by a cannon ball, which hit him squarely, producing a fearful wound, and rendering him insenaible from the concussion. His skull wm cleft, his jaw fractured, and his whole system shattered. This occurred at the battle of Malvern Hill; yet the brave man, after lying delirious for months in a hospital, where he wm manacled like a criminal to restrain him while ho was out of his bead, and tenderly cared for by his wife, recov­ ered, and again went out to fight the battles of bin country. At the battle of the Wilderness he received a shot in the neck from tbe rifle of a sharpshooter, and he has always suffered acutely from tliis wound. He walked with has head slight­ ly bowed'-and hie shoulders nervously twitching with the constant pain. From the crown of his handsome, irongray head to his waist he wm riddled with shot and shell.

Mrs. Surratt was a small, plump, pret-. ty brunette, with flashing dark eyes and a will like steel.' I remember one incident of her imprisonment which will give you some idea of her strength of mind. You will remember that a part of the old District penitentiary bad been rigged np ns a court house, while the other part waa used as a mil­ itary prison. Well, after Mrs. Surratt and her daughter, a charming girl of sixteen years, bail been separated for three monP. s, they were allowed an interview, which wm to last two hours. Miss Surratt came to the prison in the afternoon, and I conducted her to a room adjoining the court room, where Mrs. Surratt wm writing. The girl just went over and sat down on her mother’s lap and began to cry. I went away then. I didn’t want to stay, and did not go near them again until some time after the two hours were up. When I took the girl away ahe wm still crying, but I noticed that Mrs. Surratt did not shed a tear. I won­ dered at that “The girl cried all the way home to the Catholic institution where she lived, and you can believe it made me feel badly. When I returned I spoke to General Hartranft and mentioned what seemed to mo tho almost heartlessness of Mrs. Surratt Then the General told me that the little girl hod scarcely left the prison when Mr*. Surratt threw herself down in convulsions of such grief as he had never dreamed of before. It seems hard to j&nagine the struggle that woman must have un­ dergone to control herself through that long interview. Afterward the intercourse between mother and daugh­ ter was almost entirely unrestrained. Their freedom wm so great that I think now the administration would have been neither sorry nor surprised if the little girl had carried in enough morphine to have saved them the trouble of executing her mother. “There are few people who know how nearly Mrs. Surratt came to a reprieve, followed by a commutation of sentence. There wm a strong sentiment in her favor, aud I think some doubt m to the degree ot her guilt. 1 will never be­ lieve that she wm privy to Lincoln’s murder. She approved, I think, of bis proposed abduction, but never of his assassination. We all thought she would be reprieved. Two days before the execution General Hancock came to me and said: ‘ Prepare at once to hang four. But,* he added, * I think you’ll only have to hang throe.’ "I went to work at once to prepare tiie nooses. Yon know a hangman’s knot has only seven turns in it.

The county wm under martial law at t ta time, and the proceeding was absurd. Nevertheless, I think it turned the scale against Mrs. Surratt The execution was fixed for 1p.m., but before Hancock wm re­ leased, which waa done without cere­ mony by a Sergeant and a squad of men, it had ruhg 3 o’clock. Hancock came hurrying in, and said to me: “ ‘Go ahead.

Nevertheless, during the progress of the civil war he evinced a quick com­ prehension of tho principles of tho ’art,’ though never using military phraseology. Thus his letter of April IV, 1862, to General McClellan, then besieging Yorktown, exhibits a precise knowledge ot the strength and purpose of each of the many armies in the field, and of the importance of ‘con­ centric action,’ In his letter ot June 5, 1863, to General Hooker, he wrote: "In one word.

The eld flags are nearly played out, and inasmuch as Mr J Fleming fur­ nishes the service free, would it not be a good plan to get up a purse to get him some new flags and put a new rope on the staff.

Harry Wright, the veteran • manager of the Philadelphia club, said recently, in speaking of Chicago's chances for toe coming *ea«on: “Tho Chicagos are in bet­ ter shape than last year, when they were demoralized over the disintegration of their team. There is no use talking, new material is good enough in its way, but it can not be imported wholesale into a team and do the work from the start that a team like the old Chicago* was capable of. A club like that was similar to an intricate piece of machinery, where every wheel ana portion has certain work to accomplish, and most do it cor­ rectly. If any one part goes wrong it throws the entire machine out of gear. New mon ore the fame way. They don't fit in like the old ones did until they have become thoroughly seasoned.

It was in May of 1879 that I started with the Cincinnati Club upon our first Eastern trip of the season. We went first to Troy, thence to Syracuse, to I‘roviden?e, and ended in Boston. The team started out under tbe management of ‘Jim’ White. Jim grew discouraged at the bad business, resigned while at Trov, and Cal McVey went into authority. Wle lost one game ont of three at Troy, two out of three m Syracuse, three in Providence, and the first two in Boston. Dickerson, one ot the club, was drinking pretty hard, and I was plaving in pretty hard luck. After the second Bostor Tame the record shewed that ont of the last twentv-one times at toe bat I had reached tho first base but once, and that was by virtue of an error. McVey announced privately that night that he had telegraphed Jack Leary, who was then in Manchester, to come on the next day and play on toe nine in the last game in Bos­ ton. Ho said that be hadn't made up his mind whether to lay off Kelly or Dicker­ son; tbe latter was drinking to be sure, but he did hit the ball occasionally, but be thought I seemed to be to completely demoralized that I waa the one to be re­ lieved. With that impression McVey went to bed. Much to Cal's disappointment Leary did not arrive in time for toe game, and was pnt in again to play right field. I knew what was going on, and I became so desperate that the too was broken and I succeeded in scattering my ill-luck to the wind*. I went to toe bat five times, mak­ ing two double*, a triple, and a home run. Cal was delighted with my stick work that day. The team returned home, and we met the Chicago*. In the first game I was very lucky. 1 batted in every run made, and won the game for my club. At tbo end of tbe * season I stood up among tho leading batters. What might.'have been the result if Jack Leary had appeared on toe ground* in Boston? I would have been laid off and returned to Paterson in disgrace. Perhaps I never would have nerve enough to play in a League club attain. That moves me to repeat toe sacred thought; Great God, on what a atendar thread Hang *v*rl*atlng things 1 Hints on Health.

In the spring a young girl’s fancy lightlv tarns to thoughts of new clothes, -and the garments which first satisfy her fresh, seasonable longings arc mostly for homo and street wear. The time •of balls and parties is over for a while, and the costuming for summer has not yet been planned. She therefore sets about adorning herself for leas elabo■ rate and yet equally careful appearances in the house and on the promenade. Morning gowns for indoors have of late become more and more artistic. The -old-fashioned wrapper of stereotyped shape and usual slovenliness no longer garbs the persons of women who keep up with the modes of the times. Neat­ ness and shapeliness have taken tho place of slouchy, formless wraps, that always suggested slippers down at tho heels and haft- still tousled from the bed. A morning dress of amort design is illustrated in my first picture. This may be copied in a great variety of materials from the soft thin woolen fabrics that drape an,d cling with much •leefhetic grace to much cheaper and istill pretty cotton goods.

On this subject of feminine girth -some fussy-minded male has taken the trouble to compile statistics of the sizes •of Now York ladies* cossets, with the •result that he has discovered the aver­ age dimensions of stays round tho •waist to bo twenty-throe inches, or just four inches smaller than the natural waist of the average woman is • supposed to be. Upon this fact he •comments with great seriousness, and e\en goes to the length of attributing to this compression no less than a thou­ sand deaths per annum. I so far agree with this zealous statistician that I believe a great many feminine diseases - are attributable to over-tight lacing, but I am not at all' prepared to admit •the accuracy of his death rate from this cause, nor do I think that twentythree inches is a «*zo of waist at which, under any circumstances, any but fussy old bachelors and bulky matrons would c»viL A morning toilet representative of a new and elegant stylo ot home gown is worn by the girl at the piano.

Two hours of piano practice re­ mains fashionable for New York dam­ sels, much to the pain of unwilling lis­ teners, and not greatly to the multi­ plication of good players, for not one w a thousand pr.pils ever becomes able ■to be pleasurable at tho keys. The ■other evening a loving mother ordered her daughter, who had taken a prize at school for pianc playing, to give au exhibition of her talents before a wellknown musician. "Isn’t it angelic?" ahe exclaimed, as the girl’s fingers vigorously rattled the keys. “Ev-angelic, you mean, madam?" ■was the critical 1 atener s remark. “How ho?" asked mamma; and it i took her some minutes to fully realize I the reply. “Because your daughter pays strict beed to the bcriptu:al injunction not to let her right hand know what her left hand doeth." It is fortunate for fashionable wom­ an that bulls do not. run loose in the streets of New Yorl, because a domi­ nant color in spring promenade cos­ tumes would bo sure to cause troublo.

The dressmakers and the milliners hero are getting their importations through tho Custom House with all possible speed, and their hands will soon lie stooped in bloody goods. There will bo red “gowns" (there are no dresses now­ adays), red “frocks," red bonnets and bats, red gloves, red feathers, and red wbat-not besides.

The other .evening I sat opposite to o lady at dinner, whoso nock was encircled by a thick fur boa. worn os­ tensibly on account o_f a severe cold, but which I took to bo tbe outcome of the latest fashionable fad. The effect is pleasing, I must say, especially as our eyes bavo grown so accustomed this season to fui on evening gowns, but I scarcely think tho craze a healthy one. One cannot always wear a boa, and surely this means an epidemic of sorp throats. Pongee scarf-neckties of great length aro a development of tho boa notion, and bid fair to be very popular as summer neck adornments. They can bo worn in all colors, according to tho fancy or tho dress of the wearer, and look very well when tied in a loose bow beneath the chin, with the ends tucked into the bodice. Two more current costumes are sketched in my final picture, not alone for tho illustration of fashion, but partly because tho wearers, when I saw thorn, weie jocularly engaged in touch­ ing an old chap’s nose. They were in the wax works show, where numerous images aro placed so illusively that visitors mistake them sometimes for human beings. In this instance the fair jokers* chose to reverse tho mistake and to protend a belief that the old gentleman who sat very still on a bench waa a work in wax.

Dotted stripes are seen among new designs in cotton silk and woolen fab­ rics for spring wear. The finest artistic judgment and taste is demanded and displayed in the color combinations of indoor toilets. Surplice waists Upping over on one side and forming a V opening at tho neck are in favor for house-dresses of all kinds. The latest fad in ball tissues is the dauphine tulle in all delicate shades, with designs of flowers and birds wrought in colored silks and Japanese tinsel threads.

Taking the train at the Court street depot at 9:15 one balmy morning in early autumn, we left Cincinnati for Lebanon, a small village north, thirty miles distant, of perhaps three thou­ sand inhabitants. Our destination was a Shaker vil­ lage four miles west of Lebanon, lying between the Big and Little Miami rivers. Tbe ride from Cincinnati to Lebanon took us through some of the finest country in the Ohio Valley. At 11:45 we steamed into Lebanon, a quiet, sleepy little place, where we were obliged to wait until 2:30 p. m. for the hack—a atage route lying be­ tween Lebanon and Franklin, the lat­ ter about ten miles distant The day was one of those dreamy days in autumn, that seem somehow to have strayed away from heaven. The drive from tho railroad station at Lebanon to Union Village, the Shaker settlement, was a lovely one. The sky a hazy blue, the air soft and mild, and replete with the melody of the birds, and fragrant with tho per­ fume of the late flowers. Tho dew still sparkled upon the wayaide grasses, and the leaves upon the grand old trees, through which tbo smooth white road wound, rustled, and seemed to whisper that the green of their garments must soon be changed to russet and brown. It was with a feeling of reverence, not unmixed with sadness, and no little curiooity, that wo approached tho boundary line dividing “Shaker" from "the world.7 From earliest recollection wo had learned oi tho perfect lives of these people, and it seemed like sacrilege as tho hack-wheels rolled upon the con­ secrated ground. “This is the line," said tho driver, breaking in suddenly upon our reverie and pointing to the place indicated with his whip. “And there are five thousand acres of land all in a bunch belonging to this community, besides a fine farm-within two or three miles of Cincinnati," ho continued. I looked out upon what appeared to be the garden spot of tho world. As fir as the eye could reach lay acres and acres of fine timber-land, fields of waving corn and luxuriant vegetation, flocks of sheep, and cattle, and horses “upon a thousand hills.” A turn in the road, and wo came sud­ denly upon tho houses and lands of the “South family." Here were fine orchards and vine­ yards. and everything, from tho white­ washed gates and fences to the tall, quaint buildings, with their broad, old-fashioned chimneys, bespoke neat­ ness and thrift Upon nearly all tho buildings could be seen tho date of their erection—1807, 1817, 1822, and 1849. Looking up tbo long white road, 1 could see tho village proper entire, with the exception of tho “ West fam­ ily" buildings, lying off in that direc­ tion, and hidden from view by tho trees and undulating ground. The Community is divided into four families. The “Center,” called the “First", family—and if there is any distinction mad o' it is here—and tho “North," “South," and “’West" families. The houses aro all built after one pattern, having a large square front, with very long wing or L attached, and each family has its stables and sheds for stock and farm implements. I grew deeply interested as wo rolled along, noting everything/ There was an air of peace surround­ ing us.

A splint-bottomed rocking chair, the only luxury (if- it could bo called so) in the room, stood before tho table, and into this 1 sank and waited. I could hoar tbo murmur of voices from somewhere, and soon after the hack and driver departed. I heard footsteps approaching. Looking up I beheld in tho doorway a large, fineno looking woman, a brunette of appare Uy thirty-five years of age. -Hie was dressed in tho straight, full, clinging dress of the Shakers, with a cajie of the same material upon her shoulders, and upon her head sho wore a close-fitting, neat white bobbinet cap. Sho did not appear very cordial at first, but afterward this wore away. Sho introduced herself by giving mo her given name, “Matilda,” and asked mine, and while I remained among the them I was called by it. In a little white Matilda said sho would call tho cldross, and left mo white she did so. Soon after tbo eldress highest |n authority came in, and I found her to be a very well-informed woman, with and tho air of a supreme judge; and still later half a dozen of the sisters cam# in aud seated themselves in the straightor. backed, splint-bottomed chairs, and sat with folded hands and spoke in mono­ syllables. Most of the'r countenances wero very pate, and wore a weary, hopeless sort of an expression. , There was such a lack of cordiality aud such a frigid demeanor that it struck a chill to my heart, and was suggestive of death and open graves. Later I was presented to one of tho oldors, a delicate little man, an old gentleman with snowy hair and tho air fall of a Lord Chesterfield. I was surprised when ho took off his hat and bowod to mo with such a courtly grace, as I had been told tho Shakers never remove their huts or bow to a woman, and learned after­ old ward that this was true; that Elder and Charles Clapp was the exception, and !• have always admired the snowy­ and haired little gentleman ever since. Of him I heard much of the life and al­ ways of the Shaker. The first building erected at this set­ tlement was in 1805, and at that time t to and later tho community became large tho and flourishing. At present there are about one hun­ to dred members in the community. Very few of the genuine Shakers that are living.

The Hamilton bank of Fort Wayne was presided over by ex-Secrctary McCulldeb, and he had to-day the use of $1,000,(XX) of the people's money. The Chase National Bank of New York, presid­ ed overby Mr. Cannon, late Compholler of the Currency, had $1,100,000 ot govern­ ment funds. Tho same was true of the First National Bank of New York, the National Bank of the Republic of New York, presided orer by Mr. Knox, and the National Bank of tbe Republic of Wash­ ington, presided over by Mr. Cressweli.

Of mIIIm and retire*; of tranche*, tent*, ’ Of pa'liade*, frontiers, parapet*; , • Of basilisks, of cannon, inlverin ; Ot prisoners' ransom and of soldiers slain, And all the comnta ot a breachy fight. —Kintf Henry IV The adventures of Corporal John C. Stoughton, Company E, One Hundred and Fourteenth New York Volunteers, who afterward became Sergeant and First Lieutenant, were strange and interesting. Ho was in the as­ sault of Port Hudson, and when the assailants were driven back and dis­ persed, he found himself so near the enemy's works that he concluded that his safety would beat be pro­ moted by “lying low." He did so all through the blistering hours of that June day, and when darkness be­ gan to gather he attempted to with­ draw from the field. He heard a “halt there, Yank !'* and he found that he was covered by rifles thrust over the top of the work, while the same voice invited him to “come in here!” The invitation was more peremptory than hospitable, and Stoughton would have preferred to decline it; but prudence compelled him to accept, and thus ho became a prisoner. He was reported in his company as missing, and was thought jo have been killed. Hun­ dreds wore buried three or four days after the assault, as soon as a truce could be obtained for that purpose, whoso faces wero Wack and beyond recognition from exposure; and it was supposed that Stoughton was among them. Cn the ! th of July the enemy capitulated, and our army marched im Great was the surprise and delight of his comrades to find Stoughton alive and well, He was a quiet fellow, but always keeping up a busv thinking, and there was a flavor of dry wit in his brief account of his three weeks' captivity, “It seems by the company report," he said, “that I was dead and buried three weeks; but I was tbe last one to hear of it. After a day or two the robe wanted to send mo out on parole, but I thanked them kindly, and told them that it wasn't worth while, that the rest of tbe Yankees would be in after a few days. You see, I knew they were hard up for rations, and I wanted to help them out. At flrat my daily al­ lowance was four earn of corn. After­ ward they gave mo some mule-meat, which waa first-rate eating, of its kind." . For his gallantry and cleverness at Cedar Creek, Stonghton was msdo Sergeant. He waa captured in the morning, while bravely fighting, and at night hurried up the Valley with nearly two thousand prisoners, for the tide of victory had turned. Most of elear-cut, resolute features, and a round, neatly trimmed. Grant-like beard. Io fact, he bears quite a facial resemblance to the great commander. Captain Rath’s eyes are bright and keen, hia manner quick and nervous and he likes to talic. although he objects to being interviewed. "I could sit and talk al»out thooe people for ■ whole day," said he to a correspondent “I know enough about them to fill volumes. You see, there weren't so many reporters then as there are now, and there was so much excitement and ao many things to write about that many things were missed or crowded out' which* would make excellent reading. I hod charge of those prisoners through their entire confinement, and at the last superin­ tended their execution, so 1 had a good opportunity to study them. I always regarded Herold as an unthinking boy —spoiled child. He was a great sports­ man, though, fond of shooting, and the owner of a splendid pointer dog. We kept the dog for him in tho prison, and at his death left it to General Hantranft. “I never regarded the conspirators as murderers. Moat of them, I believe, were inspired by sincere love ot tho Confederacy, and the belief that in re­ moving Lincoln they wero acting for the good of their country." Back and Ball Muskets. N the winter of 1861-2 wo encamped on Mi­ nor’s Hill, Vs., along 'JV~iwith tbe Fourteenth New York, Ninth Mas­ sachusetts and Sixtysecond Pennsylvania. ^We were armed with the old buck-and-bull uskets, which we were to exchange for the Enfield rifles. Word was given to the different companies to send details forguns. The Company B detail was disEatchod, and soon the boxes wore rought and opened. Behold, a mis­ take had been made, and the boys thought on purpose. Instead of the Enfield, tho boxes .contained the aame kind of guns we already had. Tho men were indignant and refused to ac­ cept them, but finally concluded to use them awhile, as they were new and bright. The guns wore distributed and tbe boxes ordered back. A pro­ cess on was formed, a la funeral, An escort with reversed guns and music, end every conceivable thing that any noise cou^d lie got out of followed to the Quartermaster’s depot A volley was fired over the boxes, and tho procession returned to quarters. , Soon a racket was beard in the vi­ cinity of Company B. Every other man had a gun slung aro-md his body and was down on all-fonrs. Tho other fellow hod a gun thrust between the gun-sling and along the man’s spine, firing blank cartridges. As soon as the gun was discharged, the man on the ground would assume a sitting post­ ure, with the muzzle- up; then the gunner would “ram cartridge," and tbo gun would immediately assume tho horizontal again to bo fired. There were some forty of tho company en­ gaged in this. That night, after the racket, the Fourteenth New York sut­ ler lost a barrel of whisky, rolled out from under his tent early in the even­ ing, while the proprietors were engaged in front with a special delegation sent to occupy him and his assistants while I these men were taken at Richmond or further south, and endured long im­ prisonment. Some shrewd escapes were made—that of Stougliton among others. He secured a hat and blanket from an exhausted Confederate strag­ gler, got himself cursed and ordered out of tbe column as one who bad no business with tho prisoners, gladly obeyed, lurked awhile in tho woods, and the next day, in half rebel costume, made his appearance at the roll-call of his own company. Ho received a slight wound in the cheek before hia capture. Ho was among these who were highly com­ mended in general orders f >r bravery He was in every engagement of the regiment, and was made a Lieutenant three months before the close of the war. The Mule in the War. WAS reading in the Chi’ago Journal the other day,” said I General Martin 1 Bee in, “an article on the ‘Mule in the War.’ It puts me in mind of another incident worth re­ lating. The Ninth Hlinois Infantry was mounted principally on mules on the Atlanta campaign, and somewhere near there the regiment-while in advance, had a hard fight wilu a large force of the enemy, >and wero at lost required to fall back. Dr. Grelick, tho Surgeon of the regiment, and who is yet living at Alton, in this State, found his mule wouldn’t run, but contented itself with kicking and ‘bucking* as- the Surgeon applied hia spurs. He coaxed, re­ monstrated and spurred all in vain, and all this time tho rebel skirmish line kept coming closer, until at last ono of tbe enemy rode up in the rear of tho Doctor and demanded his sur­ render. Tho Doctor hod all he could do to keep in the saddle, and when tbe demand was again made he petulantly replied: ‘Well, blank it, I am will­ ing, but you can see for yourself that the blank mule ain't!* This didn't satisfy tho rebel, and as the Doctor was bounding up and down on tbe inule’s bock the skirmisher opened fire from a revolver at close range on the Doctor. This made the latter indignant, and, whipping out his own pistol, he began firing over his own shoulder at the rebel, whom he knew was somewhere in the rear, but whom he could not see or pay any at­ tention to because of the imperious demands made npon him by the mule. The danger from death seemed equally great from beneath as from tho rear. Fortunately, one of the Doctor’s ran,dom shot struck the rebel’s bone, which caused it to break beyond the control of ita rider, aod carried him rapidly past the Doctor to our side, and, as he went flying past, the mule saw him and instantly gavo chase, bringing the Doctor soon up in rear of the rebel, whom he covered with his pistol, and actually brought him a prisoner into our line*! Of course, the Doctor was glad enough to commend the mule’s superior strategy, and not condemn it for its characteristic obsti­ nacy, as he was at first disposed to do I” ________ the feat was performed. It never was found, but you could buy a canteen full for $5 of one who know where it was.

In tho Vicksburg attempt it did really seem as though nature said to the Union forces at the start, “You can dig the river away from Vicksburg. Take your spades and go to work." Butler occupied New Orleans in May, 1862, with only 1,700 men. \ icksburg was poorly garrisoned then. Port Hudson was not garrisoned at all until the following August, when General Breckinridge had been beaten off at Baton Rouge; and Farragut with some of his warships and General Williams with about 3,000 men were sent up tho river to see what could be done in the way of reducing Vicksburg. General Williams could not spare the troops to occupy Port Hudson, and be found Vicksburg, although not strongly held, too well manned for him to risk an at­ tack. Ho landed his force from the steamer below the city, and his enSer marked off tho ground for the ing of a canal across the narrow nsula which it was hoped would tap the west channel of the loop, make on artificial course for the river, and leave Vicksburg high and dry, out of cannon shot of steamboat navigation. It was a grand idea, by whomsoever originated. It deserved success from Darkly broods tte flraamsnt.

How very near the attempt camo to success was not reali/.ed at the time; was not known till the sur­ prising natural event of fourteen years later. Of that anon. The digging of tho great ditch was, begun Juno 2;', and was prosecuted night and day for two weeks. It wav interrupted by heavy rains, and by the capricious conduct ot the river itself. The ground was low; fevers raged; everybody was infected by the malaria. Gangs of negroes were employed in the work, whose stout and ready arms hastened it forward. The ditch was substantially completed, but a great disappointment followed. Subsequent occurrences showed that had it been located higher up it might have suc­ ceeded. As it was, the river continued to flow steadily past its western ex­ tremity; the current ran by, and re­ fused to be deviated. Qn a night of July,------ , the river overflowed the Seninsula, flooding the canal, and rowning out the laborers. It put an end to the work. Although the low and narrow peninsula waa under water, it waa causea simply by tho rise of the river. Tho course anil current were unchanged. General "Williams gave up tho attempt, and returned to New Orleans with his men. In March, 1863, Grant repeated the experiment with no better success. And now see a fine example of what well might be called the “irony of fate!" After Grant and his army had floun­ dered ineffectually among the swamps and bayous that lay between them and Vicksburg on the north; after they had gone below, fought battles, be­ sieged, assaulted, and finally taken the place, with great loss of life; after Banks and his army had met with as stern an experience in reaching and overcoming Port Hudson; after the war had been eleven years finished, and in the very year that this nation was cele­ brating its centennial of independence —on tho 27th of April, 1876—tho way­ ward river burst through the peninsula between Vicksburg and General Wil­ liams’ cut-off; a steamer passed through the new channel the next day. The new channel is now and has since been the main channel of the river; in front of sleepy Vicksburg is a bar of mud. and the river truflic passes around her. But just suppose that Nature had been so kind in 18621 -"- numerous that it. seems idle to specu­ late about them.

Yet there were, all over tho South during the civil war, situations that can be point­ ed out whore it is next to certain that a very slight change in tho rela­ tions of tike opposing forces would have given such immense advantage to one side or tho other M to havo saved the sacrifice of thousands in life, limb, and health, and exerted the most pow­ erful influence on the determination of the struggle. There ix no better illustration of these assertions thau the fact that in _ June, ____ 1862,_ the ___ ___ little _ ___________ commandof General Thomas Williams (who was killed in the battle of Baton Rouge the following August 1 almost succeed­ ed in making on inland town of Vicks­ burg. so that the Mississippi would flow far out of reach of the guns on the heights of that historic .place. Yes, almost succeeded—•came so near suc­ cess that nothing prevented this amaz­ ing and bloodless victory but the re­ volt of nature herself at ’such an auda­ cious attempt of Yankee enterprise. About seventy thousand mon in the Union armies toiled and suffered, and either sickened or died from fever and malaria or the bullets of the enemy, in the work of capturing Vicksburg and Fort 'Hudson, in the first six , months of the year that followed, all of which would’ have been spared had General Williams succeeded in his re­ markable attempt To every man who served along the Mississippi, and who therefore knows the gigantic task that it was to send it “unvexed to tho sea," this item of his­ tory will have the largest interest. It is because I was one of the Port Hud­ son men. and know something of the toils and dangers of tho river cam­ paign of 1863, and something of the good blood that was poured out to re­ store the groat river to the Union, that I nave been interested in looking up tho facts of this remarkable attempt to accomplish that end a year before by the strategy of the spade and without bloodshed. If the reader examines a good map of the Lower Mississippi, he will see that the great river first runs down be­ low Vicksburg, then returns to that town, in the shape of a long U, and runs down again, leaving opposite and below the city a peninsula about six miles long and one wide at its lower end. ■ The soldiers who served in that re­ gion well know tho character of the soil It is light and alluvial, being mostly made along the banks by the deposits of the stream. The great river is like a mighty serpent, continually changing its coarse. It works and wriggles here and there; the soil yields to it everywhere. Whole acres some­ times tumble off in the night, and the river at a certain point will change its course sometimes by a distance of half a mile. The Red River, us we discov­ ered, has the ikme peculiarity. These facte were presumably known to General Butler and General Will­ iams. There is a controversy aa to which is entitled to the credit for the idea of the Vicksburg cut-off, and this may be settled elsewhere. Two years later Butler tried the same tactics on the James River below Richmond, with his “Dutch Gap Canal," and the at­ tempt wm aqurily ineffectual. But 1 In the South, toward the close of tliewar, bacon, cornmeal, sorghum, rice and cow-jpess formed the only supplier for the tune. A problem was present­ ed to housewives as to the means of providing appetizing and attractive meals. Cornmeal was made up in every conceivable form, but batter­ bread seemed to be the favorite com­ pound. Cow-peas and rice were mixed when cooked, and called “Tom and Jerry." “Confederate" fruit cake was made of flour, if one could procure it— meal, if not—sorghum and minced dried apples. “Jeff Davis” pies, a mix­ ture of sorghum and eggs, were quite popular, und fig. peach, quince, pear, plum, apple and citron preserves were made with sorghum. Indeed, sorghum reigned supreme, and in many cases those who cultivated it realized from $•.‘,000 to $3,000 per acre (Confed­ erate money) from its sale. It was a very sweet and sticky condiment, and I regret to state that I never hear any mention of tho Confederacy but straightway springs up in mv mind a very vivid recollection bf that black, cloying, and illy refined molasses. Parched rye and “goober” peas (peanuts) were used by some for coffee, but sweet potatoes, cut in cubes, dried in the oven wnd then ground, seemed to lie .regarded with the high­ est favor as a substitute. Dried raspberi^ leaves were used for tea. W heat became so scarce that biscuit, light bread, and cake mode from flour were esteemed the greatest delicacies, and for a time, near the close of the war, flour was so rare in our section that the only dish we could devise for my invalid mother was a “panada.” made of hard-tack (far inferior in qual­ ity to that of the Northern soldiery), softened with boiling water and swe’etened with a morsel of our small and precious store of sugar. This small quantity of sugar, and a pound of tea, my father found great difficulty in pro­ curing, and for them he paid the sum of $150. ________ .

One of that poor but sturdy band of fighters, who knew all the mysteries of “chueka-luck," and explained them to hie dear comrades of the Ninety-third Illinois, actually had money, aud he bought that half-barrel of beer. That night hia company fared sumptuously, but the next morning there was wailing in the camp of the Fifth Iowa, for capital was needed to continue the “chuck-aluck” industry, and lo, the boys had none. But again the occasion brought forth the man. and his name^wae “Lafe. ” In the night he carried that half-barrel to the bank of the river, and there it was filled with wholesome Mississippi water. In the morning, ac­ companied by a guard of his comrades, he started that half-barrel rolling through the camp of the Ninety-third Illinois, apparently in great haste toreach the camp of the I ifth Iowa, but. was hailed and finally hatted by Dearly* n thousand Illinoisans.

This little jamboree being over, the dead buried, and the wounded placed under care of sur­ geon*, the master went right on with his school as if nothing had happened. From the standpoint of the teacher thi* is a great improvement on tbo way of conducting schools. In the first place, it saves him the personal “pom­ meling that was the chief factor of the oliLsystem and substitutes a vaccina­ tion of buckshot fur those who have a . personal interest in the boys. -Anyone who has been waylaid by a score of big boys after school, rolled about in the snow half au hour, and had the skin rubbed oft' his face with hard snowballs will see that a charge of shot in the body of some of those boys is a far better settlement of any difficulty. Again, there is a permanency about the shotgun method that should be en­ couraged. It relieve* the next teacher of the trouble of trying to correct a bad and vicious boy after he has been buried. Others may come to school, but that one is disposed of, and the same methods can again be inyok cd to diminish the crop of bad boys as they come up. This method also relieves school 'directogs from taking sides io district quarrels with the teacher. Ou the whole, the new departure is a good one, aud before long we may expect to see tho arsenal as well as the library an adjunct of the southern school system. Local option is sweeping Michigan grandly. Of the eighty counties thirtyfive have held elections, and all but two have been carried for prohibition. Washtenaw, which borders on Wayne county, in which Detroit is situated, is one exception, and Iosco, on Lake Huron, is the other. Washtenaw has given a large majority for license. All the counties bordering on Indiana and Ohio, save Monroe, in which no elec­ tion has yet been held, have been car­ ried again at the saloon, also a number of counties in the northern part of the peninsula. The thirty-three counties in which prohibition now prevailgjepresent a population, according to the census of ItfeO, of e bout 650,000 out of a total population of 1,636,000. It is a significant fact that most, if not all the counties carried, gave larger majorities for local option than they gave last year for the constitutional amendment The significance of the fact is this: the elections now are being held separate from all other elections. L*at year the vote on the amendment was taken in connection with a political canvas for a partial state ticket, and for local tickets. There is good reason to be­ . lieve that the amendment would have been carried if it had been submitted before the general election took place. It would probably have been carried as it was, if the third party had bad the grace to keep their candidates out of tho field. If they had really wanted the amendment more than party ad­ vantage they would have done this. However, the amendment having failed the Rep u pl lean party did a wise aud manly thing in passing a local option act. More than one-third of the coun­ ties have already rid themselves of the saloon under it, and many more may be expected to do so. Washtenaw and Wayne and other counties, will proba­ bly continue “wet,” but they will be captured eventually, and the whole state.will be secured. FOB 18SS. i* entertaining the G. A.

The value of thia state of things for the writer’s purpose ia that vary early displays of outdoor costumes are made. Prelim­ inary studies of proposed styles, in the taabion magazines and in tbe stores, ve not by any means a sure guidance. A majority of'the designs produced by Vtists are never acceptea by purchas­ ers, and therefore do not become fashionabla at all in tbe practical sense of the term. But when you see a femi­ nine resident of Fifth’ avenue going ■out for aa afternoon stroll, on some real or imaginary errand, yon may bo eure that her toilet is a trustworthy •ample of what, with many modifica­ tions, perhaps, is going to be actually •worn during tho ensuing quarter or half year. The first illustration in this article is a genuine sketch from life, mode with a special, view to the bonnet and tbe bodice. The colors m both the millinery and . dressmaking were several shades of brown and drab, but that is of second­ ary importance, liecause a wide range of fabrics and hues can be need in copying. The shapes are really the NEWEST HAT AND JACKET. important points. It will be soon that the bonnet is exceedingly graceful, be­ ing meilium in size and entirely artistic iu outline. It conforms harmoniously to the lines of the hair and face, and is an admirable structure. The absence of strings is wise in the case of a youth­ ful wearer, but this would not be true of a matron, and in her case they ought to bo added. The waist of the dress is remarkable for the convergence of the V-shaped decorations. This has a tend­ ency to broaden the apparent width of the girl’s shoulders. They would have substantially the same effect upon a figure already broad enough at that level bnt too thick at the waist The still more atrikiug sleeves show the tendency now a-dsysto substitute or­ nate arm-ccrerings for the skin-tight incloanrea that have for several years been in vogue. Between the looseness of the fabric, at the shoulder and over the fore-arm, is a section of snuglyfitted sleeve. A vast variety of ingeni­ ous dt signs for sleeves will be devel­ oped as the spring advances. The second illustration ia that of a tailor-made suit in soft wool, drab as to color, and witl 7>at of the same abode and materia. The smootlineaB of the bodice is in contract with the gathered '.ullness of the skirt, and in that fact lies the novelty ofr the toilet Tbe young lady carries in her hand a quizzing glass'. That i# the newest -whim, of the promenade. These arti­ cles, which are ainjply a pair of mag­ nifying eye-glasses attached to a long handle, have for a year or two been in •use at the theaters instead of 'the ordi­ nary opera-glaiuiea. Their first valu­ able quality in the eyes of belles wu utility, for their long handles enable ’ one to ho'd the lenses to the eyes with­ out raising the arms high enough to burst a seam of a tight corsage, or to tire dainty muscles. But ornamenta­ tion since set in, and now the handles are often very valuable by means of carved ivory, shell, or pearl, or a set­ ting of gems. The March novelty u to quizzing glasses is to carry them in the street, and they are there, already about aa much a feature of female dan­ dyism as the single glass to the beaux. There are enriaus rights in the retail •bopping districts of New York. The throng of women who were passing through Twentj-third street near Fifth •venue were sniun-J by the antics of a little footman.

In order to get the robe this time tho footman had to jmua behind the car­ riage and around to the other side. Again he made a fruitless effort to land it gracefully over bis mistress’s lap, and then he called out to tho coachman, “Home." The robe lay in a huddled heap in the bottom of the carriage, but apparently she preferred to rido without sufficient covering to remain­ ing further tbe subject of the ridicule of the people who were staring at her. Tho coachman, without turning around, grabbed his whip, tightened tho reins, and started off.

In •the Hands of Unfeeling Custom- Houm Officials—Russian Railway Stations aud Restaurants. {WIIXUM EI.EBOY CVBT1S, IX THE CHI­ ‘ CAGO MORHIXG MKWg. j It require* a passport to got iQto tho Cur's dominion*, and it requires a passport to get out. Every resident of the country, foreign or native, must have hi* passport, ready to be pro­ duced at any moment it may be called for, and that is frequently. It i* well to have the document handy, as the police officials are busy mon, not bleaaed with an abundance of patience, and often mistake tho meaning of de­ lay. I heard of one man who mislaid hi* passport, and not being able to produce it when called for, was sent to prison instantly. Hi* wife discovered the-document a few hours alter tho arreet was. made, and went to police headquarters ut once. They were all so busy there that they did not have time to hear her errand for a week or more, and then considered it best for the -husband to remain in jail for a month or so, to* punish him for his carelessness and the trouble he had caused the officers. There is no power on earth so arbi­ trary, so, omnipotent »o omniscient, and bo romor*oless os tho Russian police. I adviso every traveler bound for Russia^, of whatever age, sex, or nationality, to take a passport prop­ erly indorsed by tho representative of the Russian Government at New York or Washington. It will do no harm, and it may be useful to have both, for the Russian police are of an inquiring frame of mind, and lack confidence in human virtue. With a passport prop­ erly vised, a strict obedience to all the regulations that are plain and unmis­ takable, a discreet tongue, and a do­ cent behavior, one can be as safe and •comfortable as in any country on the globe, and see much 'and enjoy much that cannot be seen or enjoyed else­ where. It ba* few picturesque land>acape«, no mountains, and no spring*; but the people and the palaces, the -churches and the cow toms, will revivify the moot blaso traveler, and the gaycties of both the summer and winter seasons offer a treat to those who have exhausted Paris and other social cen­ ters of tho world. There need be no annoyance from the tyranny that is constantly exercised ever both citizens and strangers, there need be no test of patience; it is only necessary to submit, and to do it as gracefully and politely as possible. A visitor can see nothing without a pass or without police surveillance. He may not look at a picture nor the curiosities of the museum without having a gen■darmo peering over hi*-shoulder. If he is an artist he must obtain the permission of the police to make sketches, aud to* S> anywhere he has got to have a puss. ut all these obstacles ore easily over­ come and all the objects of interest can bo thoroughly enjoyed by an observ­ ance of tho requirement*and a disposi­ tion to acknowledge the sovereignty of the police. Submission is all that is required, and the rigid rules have been xnado necessary by nihilism and dyna­ mite. Every citizen must have a permit to live in the country. These permite are issued annually upon tho payment o£ a fee. If ho wants to leave tho country or go from oao town to an­ other he must notify the police, for that branch of tho government must know where each inhabitant of the vast empire sleeps every night In the province* the rigid surveillance is re­ laxed, but at St Petersburg aud Mos­ cow and other places visited by tourists there is a constant contact between the sovereign and the subject that is dis­ agreeable to both. The police grant permission to go and come readily. There is no interference with travel nor with trade. Submission! submission! that is all. No one can get a ticket at a railway station nor on* a steamboat without showing a permit to leave; no hotel will entertain a guest till he show* his passport Ono cannot go anywhere or do anything without the cross the iwder as soon possible, aud have the ordeal over with. _____ But the best advice I got out of a thousand words of caution and in­ struction wa* to advertise myself con­ spicuously and frequently as a citizen of tho United States, a country most different of all on earth to that which I was about to visit, but for which the Czar and the nihilist and all the castes and classes between the two extreme* have an abiding affection. It is true that Rusafa was warmly attached to tho American colonies when they re­ belled and secured their independence. It is true also th <t’ during the lute war her sympathies were openly mani­ fest on the side of tho North; it is true ns well that the emancipation of her serf* preceded the emancipation of our slaves by four years, and that tho two nation* have always been friendly; but just why the typical autocracy should have agich a feeling of friendline** for the typical democracy is something no fellow can find out It is true, however, Americans in Russia are re­ ceived with open onus; they suffer less annoyance at the custom-houses, and at every other point where they come in­ to contact with tho authorities, than the inhabitant*, of any other nation. They ore treated infinitely better than the Russians treat their own country­ men. 1 was told by one who had pre­ ceded me that the letters “U. 8. A.” on my trunk would bo as good a* the in­ spector’s chalk-mark, and it waa a good deal *0. It was midnight when they hustled us out of the cars at Wirballen, the custom-house station of tho Rusuiotf frontier, and took . us into a dimly lighted room, with a pen in the center, where our baggage was already plaoed. The customs officials do not trouble the traveler to assist them in the exam­ । heard a lot of tales told about from which the To nim tho interior of the church, gilded from floor to dtune, decorated with icon* that ire covered with ahet-te of pure gold, is a representation of the heaven the priest* teach him is awaiting those who say their prayers, fast on fast days, and obey the Czar. He is .always loval to tho church and to the it ate. 'J he peasant is never a nihilist, nbver an atheist, but pays hi.* taxes and hfy tithes without jnurmnring, and ex­ pect* no more, than his father got, which was nothing.

Several had cigars and liquors confis­ cated—small amount*, to lie sure—but it was an annoyance, caused by their de­ sire to deceive the inapectora. I noticed that people who admitted that they hadliquors and tobacco aud produced them at once wore, not troubled—only those who tried to hide tho stuff. 'As I had been told would be the case, the En­ glishmen, of whom there were several on the train, were, os a rule, treated badly, and with evidsnt malice. Thero is a very strong contrast be­ tween tho appearance of things on the two aides of tho boundary between Germany and Ru*«ia—as much as be­ tween tlie rural districts of Massachu­ setts and Miasiasippi. On the German aide tho landscape ia dotted with beau­ tiful. cozy homes, with every evidence of prosperity and thrift, with well-cul­ THE STUFF OF WHICH BU88IAH SOLDIERS ARE MADE. ination of his luggage, but they coolly call for his keys, ask him to point out his trunk, and then go through it as if they were hunting for something they want very badly. At least,- that was tho rule, and most of the passenger* had the distressing fien.nation of seeing their clothing and valuablen tumbled rudely and indiscriminately upon the floor. Some of them—the ladies es­ pecially—were allowed to re-pack their trunks, but that was tho exception. Tho inspectors generally took the trouble to re-pack them themselves, aud they did it in a way that made the owner’s hair curl. The first act on the programme was to array the passengers around tho pen like a flock of sheep waiting to be fed, and then call for their passporta, which were carried into'the inner room by an officer, while we awaited the re­ sult of tho inspection. In about five minutes an inspector camo out of the door with a passport in his hand, and called out the name of the -man who owned it. I thought at first they had caught a nihilist, but it turned out to be otherwise, as tbo man whoso name wa« announced only camo forward to deliver up his keys and point out which piece of baggage in the pen belonged to him. And »o the whole list of pas­ sengers waa called over, one at a tun*, at intervals of a few seconds or a few minutes, my turn coming near the last Fortunately, I got an inspector who was a gentleman and could talk En­ glish. After I pointed out my baggage and handed him tho keys I had to en­ ter the pen to show him how to open it as the lock* wer* rather peculiar. “Have yon any cigars ?’’ ho asked. “Ye*," I replied, “some first-rate od*8 in this bag," and, pulling out a part of a box. asked him to help him­ self. He took one, and, being urged, a handful Then he aaked if I had any liquors. I told him I had none, and did not think there was anything dutiable in my baugage. Then' I ex­ plained my nationality and my purpose m visiting Russia, with a little taffy interlarded. Opening one of the trunks, be found a lot of books in the TH» KXAMTSATIOX OF J-UOGAOK. and costa ferty copecks brandy, and the other when he is lay­ ing hi* prayers before hi* favorite “What are the*e?" he »k*d. but no.els and guide- "But I’ll have to take them to th* chief inspector, ’’ b* arid, and he did, being absent about fifteen minutes. out looking at it tivated fields, vine-clad stables, neat­ looking kino, hedges tastefully trim­ med, and patches of flowers, while in the towns and villages were handsome railjrny stations, tempting cafes, large factories, handsome school-houses, and every symbol ot a higher civilization' and prosperity. On the east side gif the line there are none of. these, and the change takes place instantly. Thrift and comfort are replaced by dis­ tress and degradation. The fields are uncultivated, except in patches here and there—spot* where it waa the easiest to plow—the cattle are lc*n and hungry, the homes of tho people are logger mud huts, and there is not a schoolhouse to be seen from the, boundary line to the capital. There are churches enough, howev­ er, for in evevy collection of cabins rises a splendid temple with a gilded dome and spiro, sheltering a mass of precious vestments, candlesticks, and altar plate of solid silver, and usually an altar of malachite, lapis-lazuli, or somd other precious atone. always finds, in the most poverty-stricken and desolate villages, icons, as the images of the Savior are called, covered with shields ot gold, and ornamented with all sorts of jewels. Tho vestment* ot the priests coat more than all the rest of tiro clothing in the village, and the contributions for tho support of tbo church aro usually equal to. if they are not greater, than a third of tho com­ bined incomes of the people. Of the A GROUP OF MOL'JIKS. tho most beautiful spectacle his foggy imagination can conceive of, and to live in such a place always, like the effigies there, . is heaven enough for him. There is skid to be no instance in which a pea*ant'bvor refused to pay his taxes. Once a year tho collector en­ ters the village, taps at the window, and calls “Kazan Then the man or woman of the house comes out with the money, which is always ready, tosses it into the bag of the 'collector, who does not connt it, because ho knows it is all tho moujik has got When night comes the collector enters the best house in the village, hangs his money-bag under the image of tho Savior, and carouses or sleeps till morning, being perfectly confident that his money will not be disturbed, be­ cause of the veneration for the Czar, whom he represents, and the imago under which the treasure is plaoed. How the people live is a mystery to those who have not investigated the subject The ordinary traveler only sees their little gardens, where are grown a scanty allowance of potatoes, corn, turnips, and cabbage. They eat when they are hungry, generally cab­ bage soup, always simmering on tho fire, are drunk as often a* they can get vodka, and when night comes curd up somewhere on the floor in a warm place like a kitten or a caterpillar. In the cabins one seldom finds a bed or a table or a chair, and very few dishes. They have no comforts whatever, not even what we consider the necessaries of life—the church takes the place of them all. The Russian railway stations are not so large and bo tine as one sees in other portions of Europe, but average as well as the ordinary country depot in the United States. In the larger towns and cities a good deal of money is spent on thorn, and a corresponding amount of display. The stations at St. Petersburg are palaces, decorated with sculpture, stained glass, lofty domes, and equal in cost and appear­ ance the beet in New York, Philadel­ phia, or Chicago. The railway em­ ployes are under a semi-military disci­ pline, and tho slightest accident re­ sults in the severest punishment of those who are responsible, whether they are guilty or not A little of the wholesome discipline that prevails in Russian railway management might with profit be introduced into the United States, and would remove the nervous apprehensive that attends traveling on the average road. To kill a passenger on a railway is murder in the first degree, and those who are re­ sponsible are usually punished with or without investigation, generally the latter. It is enough that tho deed was done, and if the right man is not hanged or sent to Siberia, the example of punishing the wrong one is sufficient The tracks of all the roads leading from the country palaces to the capi­ scanty earnings of the moijik one- tal, over which tho Cxar may travel, third goo* to the church aud another are patrolled by soldi*rs, and one uan third to the crown, and both exactions see tents all along the line at intervals of a few hundred yards.

The wor.i was coaductI ed with the groatMKk Jjre est "kill and deterWfl minatiou, aud the TEfflkzjffiL mine was well stored with dyna­ mite. The Czar return‘ng from Xf the Crimea by rail, aud when the train \ * on which he and i® HASTXANX. his family were supposed to bo passed over, the mine was fired, resulting in a terrible ex­ plosion, blowing the locomotive, and the cars to atoms and killing several men. but it was only the baggage train of the Czar’s party.' He with his family and a number of members of his court, was in a train running as a second section, and thus saved from death. Most of those connected with the conspiracy wore tried and sen­ tenced to be hung. The Czar com­ muted tho seutences of several to im­ prisonment in the mines of Siberia, after having satisfied himself that they were the mere tools of tho conspira­ tors. Hartmann and several others managed to escape and left tho counT!m» Depot Restaurant*. The eating stations along the Rus­ sian road* are well kept, and table d'hote breakfasts and dinners are served which are usually equal, if not superior, to the average of American railway restaurants. Instead of wine and beer being ottered at the table and the bars, as in other portions of Europe, hot tea of the most delicious flavor is served at every station, generally being brought out in large glasses, .with a slice of lemon floating on the top in the Oriental way. Tea is the national drink of Russia, aud the people—the upper and middle classes—dnnk it as freely and as frequently as the moujik takes his vodka. The tea is brought overland from China and has a flavor that which has been subjected to an ocean voyage can never keep. There is something in tho dampness of the atmosphere at sea that robe the leaf of its aroma, and one who has tasted tea that has not been in a vessel will never enjoy that which has.

It also seem* framed as a reply to criticwms made by Board of Trade people in Chicago. Statistician Dodge, in his report, say*: “The remainder of the crop of wheat io the hands of farmers is 28.9 per cent, of its volume, against 2G.7 per eent. a year ago. This proportion wa« «ceedwi in 1886, 188u, and 1881, and i* nearly the same a* in 188t and 1883. In fact, only in 1887 and 1882 was the propor­ tion lower.

It is alwajj served in glasses hot as possible, and the average allowance is ten or twelve glasses a day. The Russian merchant has a samovar in his counting-room, and the lawyer or the mechanic goes out to his cafe for tea as often as the German for beer or the Frenchman for wine. At the cafes at all hours of the day and night one can see crowds of people s.uping tea.

After this con­ fession, you will be more inclined to be­ lieve that my ntory is a true one, and, it mny be, condemn my conduct less. If your god fathers and god­ mothers think fit to give you a strange name, they can scarcely expect you lo be the same us other people; and the name some ono cho‘o lo christen me by i« a strange one. “Heritage" is certainly not in common use, although, when one gets accustomed to it, it sounds ruther pretty, especially so when coupled with my sur­ name. "Heritage Rivers” is not at all bad. 1 am quite sure that in most instances people's natures a-commodale themselves to their names. Nearly all the Lucys I have known have been fair and romantic; nearly all the Janes and Susans homely and fond of housekeeping. A girl's career seems ofteu to be settled by her name. So, having no precedent to show me what the owner of the name of Heritage should be like, I always plead it as an excuse for any peculiarities of disposition. Nevertheless. I am not called upon to dis­ sect my mental qualities fof tho benefit of the inquisitive, so shall only say that one of my chief characteristics is that ot being a £ood hater. 1 like and respect a good baler. No doubt it is unchristiaulike: but it is so natural. I am not aahamed to say that if people injure me 1 don't forget or forgive until I feel I am about even with them. Of course, if anyone who had wronged mo naked forgiveness. I should forgive freely enough—I don't see how that can be avoided—but I should never be eager to do my enemy a good turn un­ less I felt sure of heaping coals of fire upon his head! Now you know what man­ ner of being I am; and very dreadful the description looks as I write it, so dreadful that I am obliged* .to comfort myself by thinking of the reverse of the picture—that I can be as true a friend bb an enemy. It is not so many years ago that I. Heritage Rivors, a slim girl of seventeen, left school, and stepped out into tho grown­ up world to meet what fate awaited me. For the time, my only idea was to enjov my freedom. I wn< delighted to think thnt masters nnd mistresses were finished and done with for ever and a day. bo I hade them a glad adieu, and went down into tho country to stay with an nuut of mine, and for several weeks reveled in sunshine and liberty. Then, in accord­ ance with n solemn promise, I spent some little time with an oitl school-friend—one. like nivaelt.-jnsl emancipated. Her peo­ ple lived at Twickenham, in n delicious old bouse with a large garden. I was made heartily welcome. 1 he mother took mu to her heart as her daughter's dearest friend. The father, a courtly gray-haired mu, with literarv tastes nnd pnrmlito, was kindness and politeness itself; while Clara Ramsay's brothers were in an hour mv de­ voted slaves nnd lovers. Surrounded by such pleasant attenliout. I began to realize the fact that I wm now a grown-up young lady, not altogether unattractive, and so valued myself accordingly. As the Ramsays ware quiet people and kept 'ittle company, an announcement made by Mrs. Ramnay that a dinner-party was projected was sufficient to flutter our hearts. For several days before it took place, we discussed again and again the merits of the guests who were to be pres­ ent. As Clara knew them all except one, her interest was centered on the probable appearance of thia gentleman. As even her msmnn did not know him, al! infor­ mation respecting him must be extracted from Mr. Ramsay, whose friend be was. Girla being inquisitive creatures, Clara, at breakfast time, egged on by me, began her faravbiM. ■'Who is Mr. Vincent Hope, papa?" .“A friend of mine, my <1ht. A very clever young man. who will one day, I think, be a most distinguished metulmr of society." So far as it went, this reply was satis­ factory; but we wanted a categorical testi­ monial. not a general one. “How will he distinguish himself?" asked Clara. “He is a rising author—little known as yet; but all Uiat must ooms.” “0, dearl" sighed Clara plaintively; “I know exactly ths sort of man. I have “1 find him nice," he said. “Bui what a chit of a Rir'- like you may find him, is another matter—« very small matter. I should think that moat people would call him erti^mely good-looking." “Is ha dark or fair—tall or sbort?“My dear pbl, I shall answer no morn Jinactions about him. Why don't you milnle tho ditcretion of Miss Rivors, who seeuis free from your failing—curiosity?" I blushed at such undeserved praise; while <Clara, to show her opinion of my fake pretenses, nudged we under tho table. Although Mr. Ramsay wonld tell us nothing more, we. in our idle momenta, which wore manv, speculated a great deal as to the probable peraanal appearance of Mr. Vincent Hope. I bad a certain right to fee! some anxiety about the matter, an I was informed lhat it would be my lot to be taken in to dinner by him; therefore, it was a groat comfort to me to hear he wore neither spectacles nor beard. “I know he will bo delightful!" cried Clara. “I feel snro the whole matter ia arranged by fate. Of course be will fall in love with you at once! Who could help doing so? Yon will look so nice. Heritage!" This is tbo way in which foolish young women chatter at times. * It would be my flrst dinner-party—on ordeal always trying to a young girl. Anyway,-I dreaded it. In spite of Clara's wellmeant compliments, my mind was not easy. I mistrusted the appearance I should present. My newdraav, 1 fancied, fitted mo badly; and I was haunted by a presenti­ ment that my hands and tho backs of my arms were destined to grow crimson. So distressing were my fears, that.*, ns tho hour approached, I would much rather hare joined Ibe boys, who, not being ad­ mitted to the feast, had gone off for a jolly long row on tho river—“to get out of it all," they said. As I dressed myself, I wondered whether I should quite know what to eat, what to drink; and above all, if any ono should deign to speak to me, what to talk about Perhaps, I thought, all this comes instinc­ tively. If, happily, such is the case, could it be possible, ns Clara boldly predicted, that I should carry the little world by storm? I took ono Inst glance at the mir­ ror. After all, I did not look so venr much amiss. Then, a few minutes before the hour struck, I entered tho drawing-room, feeling almost sanguine. The guesta arrived-two by two. “Like animals going into tbo ark,” whispered Clara, who. having seen a little morn so­ ciety than I had, seemed quile nt her ease. Mr. Vincent Hope, as became n distin­ guished man. was bite. At least, it was not until a few moment before dinner was an­ nounced lhat Mr. Ramsay brought a geutlcmnn to mo and pres>*ute^ him. Wo bent to each other; then taking his arm, I joined the procession to tho dining­ room. Of coarse I dropped my fan, or something, by tho way. Tnis necessitated my cavaliers stooping down to recover possession of it, thereby delaying all tho couples behind us for a moment or two. I was lieeinning badly. We sunk into our appointed places, and as the soup was being handed round. Mr. Hopo addressed a few ordinary remarks to me. Then I began to realize how shy— how stupid a person I was. The only words my foolish tongue seemed capable of form­ ing were “Yes" and “No." Connected words had loft me for on indefinite period. I felt my conversational shortcomings so acutely, that it was some little while before I was able to look at my neighbor, except furtively and timidly. He was tall, 1 know; that fact hod made itself manifest as we wtlked arm in arm. I had also received a sort of impression that ho wm good-looking. At last, when able to really look at him. I found that Mr. Ramsay s account, so far as it went, was a true one. Tho young man was undoubtedly handsome. Hia eyes—the tcatares a woman first looks at—were good; gray, I decided, with dark 1 ashen. His face was pale, aud bore a look of refinement His forehead waa high—not too high—and his chin was large, and gave him the appear­ ance of vpoaaeaaing considerable force of character. Above all, hia nose was straight and his bonds well shapen. 'Twenty-eight, I should havo guessed hia age. Altogether, a very creditable young man. Fate had been kind in selecting this companion for me, if only I could find someth; ag to talk about—something so gifted a creature r.s ho was reported to b« would not bo bored with. Alas for me, tho conversation field seemed to have become suddenly barren of flowers of speech- not a bud was left! Yet among people with whom I am at home, I have never yet been accused of taciturnity. For some short time the Indy on tho other side of him saved me. She appeared to know kim, and complimented him on the success of an article in ono ot the re­ views, which she attributed to him. He thanked her for her praise, spoke a feuwords on general subjects; then, as I sup­ pose, Nn duty bound, turned to me and recommenced conversation. In five minutes, I positively hated my­ self nnd Mr. Vincent Hope. It may be kindness to bring one's intellect down to the level of the listener: I call it conceit. If in spile of my elaborate new dress, ho could not help seeing I wm but a school girl, was there any reason why ho should so plainly show me ho saw it? Was there nnj reason why he should quite change the manner ot his discourse as he changed his listener—should talk tome in a way be evi­ dently thought suited to my caliber? If he meant it kindly, what right had he to think I should esteem it kindness? I dare ear I deserved nothing more; but who was he to judge of my deserts? It ruffled my vanity, and destroyed any self-confidence I was beginning to feel. The worst of it wm. he meant no rudeness. He did not pretend loeven patronize me; be simply chose to talk upon subjects which he was pleased to think were well within my limited range. ) It Was mortify­ ing! I twisted up my dinner napkin under the table, as a sort of vent io my vexation. Soon I grew desperate. I would show this man I woe not the inane empty-headed school girl he fancied me, or I wonld perish in the attempt My fluency of speech came back as sud­ denly as it left me. On my own account I began to talk—of topics about which I knew nothing—of places I had never vis­ ited—of people I bad never seen, and of books I had never read. Ho seemed amused nt my new departure, and. I flattered myself, tried to lead me on to talk. So talk I did, and thought no evil. • It was not until I had once or twice gone completely out of my depth, right over head and shoulders, and was compel­ led to flounder back as best I could, that I fancied the wretched man was laughing at me—not openly, of course; his manner was politeness itself; yet I had an unpleasant suspicion that more than once I had made myself an idiot in his eyes. I positively detest people who have (ho misfortune to see me at a disadvantage; ao, when I rose with the rest of the women and left the table. 1 felt that it would have been a great satisfaction to have given Mr. Vincent Hope's broad shoulders a Parthian ■tab with a de»»urt fork.

How delightin! it wonld I dbulited whether it would be quits right for a young lady to walk about tb«. Harden alono and by moonlight; but the temptatiop was »cry great After all. I have always found it much easier and often pleasanter to yield to little temptations of this kind thau to resist them; so I hood gave in. Even at tho risk of a cold or a scolding, I would have one, just one, turn in tho soft September nigbL 1 (dipped from tho room, covered my head and shoulders with a shawl, and stole through tbs library window which opened to the gound. The change from the close atmoaphen of Mr. Ramsay s drawing-room was, as 1 predicted it would be, simply delicious. Tho clear sky, tho full moon, and the bright stars which had tempted me out, made me feel quite poetical I forgot all my little annoyance in the Ixiuuiy of the night: I bccami quite cheerful and happy. The one turn about the garden, which I had pledged mysoif not to exceed, grow to a great many; yet I was loath io leave theenchanting scene. But duty must not be altogether neglected. With a sigh, I turned for the Inst time, and began to retrace my stops to tho house. To my horror, as 1 neared it, I saw tho French casements of the dining-room open, saw the flood of brilliant light which poured out partially eclipsed as one dark body after another passed through the aperture. I realized iD a moment the frightful position iu which I was placed. The mon were coming out to get a breath of fresh air and to smoke a cigarette before entering tho drawing-room. What could I do? I was certain to be seen. By the light of the wonderful moon everything was as clearlv visible as by brood daylight. I shrunk from tho polite ridicule with which my nocturnal wanderings were sure to be greeted; in truth I was now rather ashamed, of the freak which had led me into such an awkward situation. I wished to extri­ cate myse}f without having to make ex­ cuses and explanations, and as I shuddered at the thought of walking boldly past the knot of gentlemen, I was compelled to adopt tho alternative—concealment On the lawn near to me grew ono of those conical trees—a Hpecias of laurel—ttie foiiage of which touches the ground and leaves the center nearly hollow. This particular tree was ao large that it formed a natural summer-house, and to enable it to fulfill its mission an entrance bad been cut through the boughs on the side furthest from the house. It was the very thitfg—a perfect harbor of refuge! Careless of insects, heedless of the twigs which cauubt^nd tugged at my hair, but groaning, nevertheless, aa I- thought of ray new frock. I rushed inside, unseen and, I hoped, unheard, resolved to wait behind tbo friendly boughs until the voices which I beardin the distance died into silence. Feeling quite sure that no one would be likely to explore the leafy recesses of my hiding-place, I began to grow easy in my mind, and even ventured to compliment myself upon the cleverness I had dis­ played. My triumph was short-lived. In a few moments I became aware that voices were drawing near to me—so alarmingly near that very soon I was able to recognize them and distinguish what they were saying. It was Mr. Vincent Hope end his host, who had strolled away from their friends. “You havb a fine specimen of tho Portu­ guese laurel,” Baid the former. “Yes," replied Mr. Ramsay. “It's a fine tree of the kind. They seldom grow lar­ ger. Indeed, this one is beginning to die down. There ie an entrance cut on tho other side; so it makes a shady, but un­ comfortable. warm-weolher retreat.” Then I knew that tho two gentlemen were coming round to the entrance. I waa in despair. I cowered down in the dark­ ness. and prayed that Mr. Hope's curiosity might not induce him to pursue his botani­ cal researches into the intenor. I saw his head and shoulders fill up the entrance- and hide the moonlight faHing there. For the moment, I was undecided whether to shriek with horror, io endeavor to scare him away by growling like a wild bcMt, or to lie still and lo. trust to chance. On the whole, tholast seemed the wisest course to adopt. I breathed more freely when I saw he had no ’ intention of entering—tho reccRses were not tempting at night.

DusL At all times unwholesome, when damp­ ness gets hold ot this dust it ferments, de­ cays, and becomes positively poisonous; and this must needs happen on any rainy day, on foggy mornings, on dewy nights, and at thnt sosaon of the year when the dampness seems tu penetrate the house, and it is not yet time to light the fires that might dry it out or hinder it. The rooms of a dwelling house, then, cannot be kept too thoroughly well swept and dusted off, in order that the least possi­ ble deposit of dust may be left in them. Many housewives think that the less the dust is stiirod in sweeping, the better the work is done, and tea leaves, and wet grass, aud moistened meal are thrown about the floor in order to gather th* dust and pre­ vent it from rising. But people giving the matter philosophical attention have come to the conclusion that precisely the oppo­ site course i< the fit and proper one; that a good stirring up, and then a good blowing out is what the dust needs, and that with a wind blowing nnobstrnctedly through the room as thoroughly as a wind can be made to blow.—AzcAaxffe.

[Wa*bingt-n corre»poudence.] There arc several Senators in this olty any of whom can draw a crowd­ ed house by announcing that ho will oak the Senate to bear him on a certain day. uid by accompanying this announcement with the intimation that h* Intends to pitch into something or some­ body; nnd If he mokes tho intimation quite sharp, thus affording ground for belief that ho will be pitched Into also, public interest in the event will bo largely increased and the galleries are certain to be crowded. Ladies can't, with any sort of propriety, go to see a prize-fight, but there Is nothing to forbid their listening to two Senators abuse each other, and when due notice is given oj such n set-to tiie fair sex turns out w>dL On tho Democratic side one of tho Sena­ tors who is most relied upon in debates ofnational importance is Senator Gray, of Del­ aware. In the debate on tho Blair educa­ tional bill no demonJttnted his right to lead­ ership. It was generally conceded that his BEXATOB GRAY, argument against that bill served to kill it In the House. Senator Gray, fans a resonant voice and an easy method of delivery. As yet ho is a comparatively young Senator, but Is defined, if ho Ilves, to take front rank among the orators of that body. On the Republican aide of tho Chamber Senator Plumb is one of tho most effective speakers. He talks fast, disdaining all tho studied effects of oratory, but ho always speaks to the point, nnd if he were engaging In target practice in the wild prairies of Kan­ sas it could be properly said of him that ho kite tho bull's-eye every time. He is in no­ wise choice about words when ho wants to condemn and abuse. Ho strikes sledge­ hammer blows, and when he means to depict anything as black he says black. He talks very fast, so fast that thewest sten­ ographer of the Senate can scarcely keep pace with him. because ho says what he means; or. to use a prize-ring phrase, he strikes right from the shoulder. There are no fanciful frills about his speeches. They are made up of straightforward Western logic, anti if anybody does not understand Senator Plumb it is because ho Is ignorant of forcible English. Senator Morgan is one of the most fluent Kublic men of the day. Ho is an easy, grace­ d talker, with a wonderful command of language. He 1s one ot the fastest talkers in the Senate, though every word is dis­ tinctly Uttered, because be has never to stop for an instant for words to express his ideas. He is lurid, too. He renders his subject clear and intelligible ns he proceeds. Senator Hoar is deliberate and scholarly in his efforts. His speeches usually read better than they sound, because his voic«. when raised to the tone necessary in public speaking, becomes harsh. He is not much given to gestures, but when excited he has a way of drawing his mouth, even while speaking, that moans a good deal in the way uf flcrv energy and enm«»tneiM>. Senator Dawes does not deliver many set speeches, but he has a good deal to say In the running debates, particularly if there is jin Indian question involved. His voice ia anything bu^ musical. It has a grating sound that would completely upset a nervous jw.TSon. Senator Dawes has u habit while talking in the Senate of continually scan­ ning the galleries. He gestures by throw­ ing his arms straight out to the front vigor­ ously. Senator Manderson, without hny attempt at oral* rical effect, in an easy, pleasing and natural manner, is always' 'entertaining and instructive. There is an air of candor and sincerity about him that commands re­ spectful attention. His voice possesses a pleasing softness that is entirely masculine, nnd he can always count upon command­ ing the attention ef his associates. Senator Stewart is like the ready letter writer in ono respect—he is always ready to talk. No matter what the subject maybe, he wants to be heard. His seat is in the last row on the Republican side, but he rarely ever begins a speodh there. When a debate opens he is on the alert for an open­ ing. and he gradually moves forward until he gets near tiro centre aisle. Then, when he cun obtain recognition, he starts in a loud ton*, and with both arms swinging in the ulr like the arms of a windmill. He rarely ever stops until entirely run down. Senator Harris, now one of the most influ­ ential Democratic leaders, is a vigorous talker. He never engages in debate unless he considers the subject of importance. He has a plain practical method of submit­ ting his views and opinions that invariably commands attention. He fs earnest, even to tiro appearance of belng>xcited: has a clear, ringing voice and murks hi.* periwifi by bringing down his right hand. He Is conceded to be. by both sides of the cham­ ber. tiro best parliamentarian of the body, imd rarely fails to succeed in obtaining 'votes enough to pass any measure ho takes charge of." His eloquence, whether exerted In public or in private, is usually potent enough to procure all the votes necessary. Senator Don Cameron rarely essays to "speak In public on the stage." and he would escape these few exhibitions if. like a school boy.lie could play "hookey." He has no . confidence in nls oratory: admits that ho was not ent out for a public speaker. Now and then he fools it to be imperative to moke a speech, but be Invariably roods from manuscript, and in a tone so low that the official reporter cannot hear him. But when he wants votes for any bill he can get them on both sides of tho chamber, which goes to show that eloquence Is not an essential qualification of our public men. Senator Edmunds, the leader of the mnjorltv in tho Senate, doe* not attach much weight to set speeches and long arguments. Hia His speeches are, aa a rule, very brief and altogether impromptu. But thup he is cock-sure of re-eloction os long as he wonts to re­ main in the Senate, and doos not need to talk for homo consumption. His delivery is methodical and impressive. He nev­ er get* excited, bnt he is quite amo^tcr in the use of cutting sarcasm when mu. xdmuxds. he finds it necessary. Senator Bowen, of Colorado, whoso con­ stituents all call him Tom." even including tliose for whom he has procured appoint­ ment* here, and he says he would not recog­ nise them if they were any more formal in addressing him. does not tak« much stock in eloquence as an element of Congressional script, bat nt.thing nommonditig than rih-T can unlock his e.xucnce. Even in dealing with tho silver question he says he , believes in plain, practical. Iniontrovertibfo ; What Is Being Done by tbe National truth. Senator Bowen is ono of tho most | Legislature independent members of that high-toned body. He does not talk often, but when tho silver question comes forward and he wants to speak he is entirely willing to excuse all who do not care to hear him. Senator Hawley is perhaps tho fastest a talker in the Senate; cer­ tainly ono of the fastest. I* BtRumeot in favor or portpotilax acHis words follow as if in ths treaty Uli December, bat tbe discus-hot chose ono ot C other. Ho cannot colled either a pleasing an entertaining speak He becomes entirely too much absorbed in his aruuuu-. «rxl doecrjpilon irf United Matra bond* subject and talks too fast, though nobody will queahls earnestness or sin­ cerity. Senator Blackburn is okn. hawlex. really one of tho orators of Uro upper branch of Congress, but since bls promotion from tho lower house be ha* mittee on been deferentially respectful to that un­ written rule which prescribes that new members shall remain In tho background for a time. Ho has never sought to force himself upon publM attention.

Senator Cockrell eschows set speeches, but he is ono of the most diligent members of Congress.-and fully informs himself os to every subject that comes up. even includ­ ing private bills.

Tales of Ghosts Have Frightened Tenants for Many Years. A Chicago letter says:—A curious ex­ ample of how the popular superstition that a bouse is haunted ruins the name of the property is shown by the destruc­ tion of the handsome two-story brick house ut No. 126 Langley Avenue. This residence in in perfect repair, and were it not for the fact that it is known as a haunted bouse the workmen would have no reason for disturbing it. But the weird tales of whut tbe spooks do there in the midnight hours have Irightened all tenants oway, and the house has been unprofitable property ever since the ghosts moved in. It is in a fashionable quarter of the city, and ten years ago its oceuiMinta were three maiden sisters named Trow­ bridge—Elizabeth, aged forty-three: Anna, aged forty, and Nora a hall-witted woman of tweuty-flve. They lived mod­ estly, dressed well and had some prop­ erty. On the evening of July 21, 1879, a policeman was summoned to the house. He turned the slide in his lantern and led the way to tin* second floor, where, hanging in the archway of the folding­ doors, they saw the bodies ofthe oldest sisters, each suspended from a shook that had been screwed into the wood­ work. . Within a week a sign “For Rent" was put up or the house, but renters passed by on tho opposite side of the street and pointed ont where the tragedy took place. Soon strange stories began to circulate about the neighborhood. Ser­ vant girls going to early mass asserted that they saw the ghosts of the “old maids" moving through the deserted rooms, others insisted that they heard shrieks and moons. People ot intelli­ gence laughed at the idea of spooks, yet, in spite of the loot that the house had been put in thorough repair, it remained without a tenant for several years. Fi­ nally a family from tho East who had heard none of these stories moved in. Within a week they were occupying an­ other bouse, and the sign “For Rent" was again put up. Their domestic said that every morning the furniture would be arranged differently from tbe way it was the night before, while after mid- accomplish it in suite of all guards and protection." Ana then he added, with most pathetic utterance: “In my present state of mind it sometimes seems to me ns though I did not care whether I am killed or not.” Aside, ..however, from this shooting, it is not known that there was ever anything that caused the police and detectives unbeknown___ to .him, detectiveswho, ___ ______________ were on the watch, to euteituin slightest suspicion. A Vacant Mind. A writer in the Son Francisco (Vjroaicle haa endeavored to explain why men whittle. According to his authority whistling was invented to give a man a i ' chance to odd a noise to the other noises i in creation, the other noises in nature ■ are all attuned to the character of tbe article that produces them. Tbe breeze makes ita gentle sigh, tbe brook has its peculiar sound, the storm has its crash and its roar. Everything made a noise in the world except man when he was alone. A man can’t talk to himself, it is idiotic, although it is astonishing how mnny people do it A cough is not a very enjoyable sound, and it irritates the lungs to produce it A sneeze always goes with a cold in the head. True,* a mon can sing; that is, he can try to sing, but if it is at all agreeable, it seems somehow to be wasted if somebody bus not paid an admission fee to hear it That’s why women have such a terrible reputation for talking. They can't whis­ tle, aud they have nothing to relieve the restraint when they are alone, so when they get hold of anybody they make up for it But whistling was invented to con­ ceal music. You don’t nwd to have mu­ sic in your soul to whistle. It is simply the noise of a vacant mind. The loud laugh of Oliver Goldsmith that bespeaks the vacant mind applies to a crowd. The whistle shows the vacant mind in ita solitary state. When you hear a man whistle who palpably does not know a tune, he is either a very good fellow or a very bad fellow. But of all whistlers the young gentleman going home about 1 o’clock in the morning, who whistles “H Trovatore" with all tho band parts, gy weather the halyardn when the sails get full ? Whan the weakfialiiug m*ku is nt its height sharks make their appearanoe in the lower New York Bay, far tho pur­ pose of dining on sea trout nnd other Htnnll fish that frequent these waters. Pound fishermen iu and around Grave­ send Bay, where menhaden are caught for lobster fishermen, have their nets Geiser and Thingvalla Off Sable Island. The Former Went Down in Five Minutes and One Hundred and Seven Per­ sons Were Drowned. [New York special dispatch.] tangled in them. They are rarely more than four feet long. They often get on weakflah lines, ana if the angler does not know how to handle them he loses his line. The shark becomes so entangl­ ed in tho line that it has to be cut. When they once land a small shark, fishermen sometimes take a cruel revenge by bend­ ing or breaking the pointed nose of the fish so that it stands up, and then throw­ ing it back into the water.- This they say prevents the ahsrk from swimming beneath the surface; and it swims abotn with ita nose standing three or four inches out of water until it turn over anddies. - ■ Dogfish are next to the sharks in ug­ liness,and are hated by every fisherman. A fisherman who doesn't geto; eof these fish on his hook two or three times a day considers himself fortunate. The fisher­ men havo an unique way of getting even with the dogfish. They tie a block of wood to ita tail and throw it overboard again, and until the cord wears through or something happens to the fish, it is forced to spend its days on the surface with a block of wood in tow. Fishing for shark is not considered a very great sjxirt, but nevertheless there are a dozen or more in New York harbor who ore not adverse to angling for sharks. A big hook with a small chain attached is used lor catching sharks. A piece of pork or other meet serves for bait. A stout hemp line attached to tho chain, the end of the lino being mode fast to tho boat. When a shark is hooked he comes to the surface of tho woter as gently os a sunfish. It is only when he gets close to the boat that - tho fight begins. The fishermen keep pulling him in and letting him out again until he is tired out Then they watch their chance, and when hia hea<f is lifted out of tbo water by a pull on the line they club him to death. • Sometimes they row .ashore nnd beach them. The biggest shark caught in these waters in a long time was beached at Roseville, 8. L, last week. It was a species of ground shark, and measured 8j feet It was caught by Francis Endicott of Outing. Harry C. Joncs, and the boatkeeper, Edward Fitzgerald hooked him, the two fishermen disdaining to indulge in such sport When they found out what a big catch he had made, however, they were aa eager aa ho was to capture it. ft dragged the anchor, aud so they hauled tbe anchor in nnd took to the onra to prevent the shark from running off with them. In its struggles it bit off a piece of one of the oura. Mr. Endicott aoys he has fished nnd hunted for years’, but never hod anything as exciting as that encounter. After they had killed it they cut ita heart out. The heart con­ tinued to beat for fully a minute after­ ward. The sharks found heareaboute are not dangerous, being by no means as large or ferocious na the maneaters of •authern waters.—A’.

A Norwich man, who has an ample supply of birch beer packed in the cel­ lar for summer use, was awakened of a recent night by the growling of his dog, says the Norwich Bulletin. Then he heard something which sounded amaz­ ingly like the report of a revolver. He confesses he imagined the presence of armed burglars, and was so impressed with a sense of immediate danger that he. felt his hair behaving in a strange and suggestive way. He seized li|s re­ volver and went to the kitchen quietly, where tho dog was growling. Seeing no one, he entered. Pop wont another bottle. Down lie went on the floor with the art of a skirmisher. He did not stand up again immediately. Ho crept cautiously to the open window with his revolver in front of him ready for action. Ho opened the blind slats carefully and peeped out into the night, determined tool! the prowlers if he onlygot half a chance. He saw no one. He boldly threw open the blinds and looked ont As ho leaned forward another bottle burst The pop paralyzed him, and be fell back upon the floor, determined not to get killed if he could help it He perspired at eveiy pore, and kept a straight aim for tho window. He laid for them, hut was not calm until an­ other bottle burst when be traced the sound to the cellar. The rattling glass reminded him of the bottled beer. He went timidly to the cellar and found that tho beer and bottle had parted com­ pany. He cooled down, his hair settled in its accustomed place, he put away his revolver, he shut the blinds, kicked the dog, told his wife she was a fool for be­ ing so frightened, and then he gave way to nervous reaction and laughed heartily for an hour or two. He makes no secret of tbo fact that he would not'fcave that night’s experience repeated for 8100. Berry Wall’s Private Shoe Store.

Tha verdict being favorable, tbo child henceforward belongs to the opera; if she works hard ahe will become a passable danseuse in about ten or twelve years. Ths first stage is the little girl's class, la classe dea pet­ ite*. Winter and summer, day after day. every morning at 10o’clock, Mme. Theodore awaits her pupils, who come nccompaniM by their mothers, each tone carrying a little bag that contains a regular Noah’s ark full of miscel­ laneous objects necessary for the studies or the happiness of a pupil of the petite classe, such as stockings, dancing •hoes, a box of poudre de riz, a comb, a button-hook, some bread, a bottle of wine and water, some cold veal, hardboiled eggs, sardines, apples, and what not. • Let us look at the room: It is a large, bare room, with bars fixed par­ allel to the walls on three sides, and a sloping floor, to accustom the pupil to tbe sloping stage of the theater. Along the free wall are benches, and -two cane-seated chairs accommodate ihe Professor and her assistant, who plays a fiddle, or sometimes a sort of harmonium. The girls, of whom the ■oldest is perhaps 13, wear low-necked ooraages, leaving their arms bare, white muslin skirts, brood sashos of blue or red ribbon, pink tights, and gray canvas shoes. They are a lean, •craggy lot, not lovely to look upon in^lividuilly, but full of goodh-umor and ■wivacity, lor all these little people are conscious of the glory ol belonging to the opera, and they adore that grand abstraction, which is at once an art, a career, and an institution, namely la -danse. “A lion a, mesdemoiselles, a vos places!" cries the Professor, and the girls run to the bars, and the flddta. «ives the word of command just as the bugle calls direct the soldier. There is no melody, but simply a series of andante, allegro, pizzicato and trill movements, each followed by a trem­ olo, so that to the untutored ear the ■ounds suggest the confusion of the tuning of an or -hestra. But the dan­ cers understand that meh and such notes indicate such and such a posture at tbe bar, which must be held as long as the Professor keeps up the tremolo; other notes followed by a tremolo in­ dicate another posture. Such are the general exerciser, the object of which ■■ to dislocate the dancers, namely, the developpe, sur la barre, the developpe • la quartrieme devant, the grand de­ veloppe a la barre, the petite battements a terra and the pointes. gymnas­ tic exercises that can better be under•tecd from M.

The third part of the lesson is ths variation. The pupils gather in a group around the Prn-fc*oor, who, with her fingers, dictates the steps that are to be executed, one finger of each hand representing the two legs of the dancer. .Suddenly the fiddle stops. There is a rest, and then the girls go through another conrse of dislocation at the bar. and then, with their sweetest smiles, they salute first to the right and then to the left, aa if thanking an idol­ izing public for a deserved ovation. Then, “Au revoir, Mme. Theodore.” In a second the class-room is empty; the little girls, panting and worn out, don their paltry robes of poverty and return under their mothers' wings to their homes.

So then for the work of the grande cIomo we shall not need to go into de­ tailed description. The big girls, like the little girls, all come to the A DUET. opera with bags in which you will in­ variably find, among other things, a piece of cold veal and a pack of cards for the purpose of fortune telling. Like the little girls, the big ones work at tbe bar, execute at tbe word of com­ mand various steps, such aa jetes, bal­ ances, pirouettes, gargouil lades, en­ trechats, fouettea, ronds de jambe, assembles, pointes, parcoura, petite temps. Like Jhe little ones, too, they learn variations on their fingers. However great a dancer may be, she must go through her lesson; not even a Taglioni is exempt fiom the torture of the bar; nay, more, above all a Taglioni can not escape it, for a danseuse must always remain in train­ ing. A week’s rest for a dancer im­ plies a month’s extra hard training to recover her limberness and agility. The examinations are naturally great days in the existence of the aspiring ballet girls. A stage rehearsal of a ballet is less ceremonious than an ex­ amination. The dancers wear flannel or pique corsages, low necked .and without sleeves, drawers coming down to the knees, long stockings, tarlatan skirts, and dirty old dancing shoes. Both examinations and rehearsal* are OX TIP-TOE. long, tiresome, and exhausting. Having now seen something of the Aions the ballet girl must smile, and dancers in training and in the un­ the ark of smiling has to be learned dress, let us take a glimpse of a ballet jaat like a step or developpe. as seen at night from behind tbe acenes.

Now let us view the ballet from behind the scenes. Hero is a danseuse who. with radiant smiles, passes from tbo foyer, dishes on the stage, which she traverses in four revolving leaps, executes a pas before the footlights, salutes the public most winningly amid a thunder of applause, and turns to walk up the stage toward the ‘'wings.'* And the moment that her back is turned to the public the smile vanishes, her face becomes serious, her features artf grimacing and drawn with fatigue, and as she passes us we see that she is panting for breath and bathed iu In­ spiration. And by the time she das finished dancing she will be so worn out that she will scarcely have strength enough left to crawl up stairs to her dressing-room, where she will need to be rubbed down and tended like an overtaxed race horse. This is the re­ ality, the reverse of the medal. Among dancing women beauty is certainly rare. In the first place, the stock from which they come is pool" and plebeian, and in the second place the training develops to excess the legs and calves, while tbe arms remair thin, tbe breast flat, and the shoulder blades often stick out like tbe stumps of torn off wings.

Some one rushed np and dealt one of the combatants a tremedous blow. The crowd around swiftly retreated, leaving a very wide space for the champions, who quickly gathered to the tray aa if led thither by a sort of instinct Being a non-comba­ tant I, too, retreated as fast as I could, and, occupying a safe spot on an ad­ joining fence, surveyed the field of bat­ tle. By this time there were some seventy or one hundred men engaged, and all, what was most aston shing, preserving the most perfect silence. Nothing bnt the blows of the stick, and the "hah“ with which the blows were accompanied, could be hoard. Ever and anon, from the surrounding crowd some fresh warrior eager for fame, or for perhaps only to en.oy the pleasure of feeling the “crag ha el” ris• ing "agin" the hand, broke through, .and, as it seemed tome, wont stra ght for the nearest head. Not a cry of any sort was uttered, though some men were felled like bullocks, and sticks were broken from the violence of the blows. Relief parties from tbe onlooking crowd would rush out and drag some stunned man from under tbe fees of those who were not yet hors do combat. The battle had raged for sorpe ten or fifteen minutes when the cavalry, who in those days were always stationed on the Tipperary race-course, worked into tbe field of war, and tramping and prancing around in every direction put an end to tbe combat. No one was arrested. The factions had had their bit of sport and the lawyers were never a fee the richer. Had there been time and opportunitv to allow lor the mar­ shaling ot tbe factions, soniothini; like more regular warfare might have been seen. But on this occasion so far as I could judge the advice of the old dying stalwart was followed, b aid the stal­ wart: “My soft, take my stick; don't let it disgrace the man who has mel it so often and with so much glory. Whenever you see. a row go into it, aud. once in, wherever you sa;i a lieod, , hit it" The old stalwart here grew faint, and the priest entering, prepared to <,u't the transitory scene like a good if bellicose Christian. A properly cut blackthorn exhibits one little peculiarity known to all i otfno:saeurs of that we;q»on. Ite sides are adorned at intervals with little clutters of spurs or sharp pointe. Three such spurs go to a cluster, and your good blackthorn exhibits a fine supply of such clusters, known, I think, as “triplets. '*1 This little ;>eculiarity of the blackthorn led once to a neat discovery in a' court of justice. A countryman, whose forehead had been laid open from a blow received in the progress of a row,'instituted legal pro­ ceedings against a constable as the man who had struck/him. He swore straight against the- constable, exhibited liis wound, and firmly averred that said constable had smitten him with his baton. The Judge, contemplating the wound, shrewdly noticed at one point of the red scar the three little tjente, which sufficiently establised the fact that no baton, bat a blackthorn stick, had inflicted the wound. • Presently another witness mounted the table and swore that the policeman never struck tbe fellow at all, but would vouchsafe no other information. He wa^ there to clear the policeman — that was all. Getting up from the witness chai *, ho drew out from beneath the t<atne a re­ markably fine blackthorn stick, well grown and well cut, exhibiting all the interesting little natural peculiarities of that weapon, “triplets' go-leo.r i Anglice galore> along its black and shining sides. A sudden thought struo < the Judge. He' was Count Judge and invariably addressed as “your Honor.’’ “Stay, my man," said the Judge. “ Was it with that stick you hit him ?" "It was, your Honor," replied tbo fellow, either taken off his guard by the suddenness of the question, or per­ haps in a reckless outbreak ot pride iu self and weapon. “Aud why d d you hit him ?" “Ah, your Honor, sure he was very noisy and troublesome, and we didn't want to have any fighting that day for the polls was about, and 1 just struck him a little tap to keep him quiet, your Honor." Physical Progresa of Man. The modern Scandinavians cannot get their hands into the hilts of the swords of the old Vikings. At the Eglinton tournament nearly every man had to have his- ancestor’s armor "let out.” The measurements of ready­ made clothes out in the Western States are enlarged to. meet thq wants of the stalwart youngsters of to-day. On the other hand, the standard of * height for soldiers is falling. There are so many little men about now. Town people are undersized. The alight, active­ brained neurotic spurns tbe country and seeks a congenial life in a town. Some interesting statistics, collected a short time ago from hatters, seemed to show that the heads of Englishmen and of Americans were growing larger. Quite recently Mr. Edward Atkinson has collected statistics of clothiers all over the United Slates,.- and comes to the conclusion that the whole American, as well as the head, is growing bigger. In any given thou­ sand garments Mr. Atkinson found that the average of all the returns is as follows: Chest nieaaure, 38 inchee; waist, 33| inches; length of leg, inside, 324 inches; average height, ranging from 5 feet »• inches to 5 feet 9 in England, up to 6 feet 10 for tbe average at the South and West. A few deductions of weight are given, from which one cau infer that the average man weighs between 155 and 160 pounds.—A’eu? York Medical Record.

W Jv/nl The poor colored y AS person bsd been a hone of contention BInon8 tlje politi­ cians for at least forty years before tho war, and the opening of tho conflict made him equally a subject for fierce difference among the soldiers. Very slowly, in­ deed, did thousands of the rank and file yield their hostility to tbe Eman­ cipation Proclamation. There- were eceops in tbo Army of the Potomac ovex this subject between the time of the battles of Antietam and the taking command by General Joe Hooker that history hardly glances at, and that would sound queerly enough now if fully told. In a much lesser degree the same spirit prevailed in other mili­ tary situations; but to describe”’the discontent and other murmurings that prevailed would be to give perhaps the darkest and ss yet tbo least known chapter of that army's history. Good autilority says that during that gloomy winter of 1H412-3 desertions were num­ bered by the thousand. 8o lax was discipline until Hooker came in and •vigorously restored the old morale that soldiers were permitted to receive boxes of citizens* clothing by express, with which desertion became easy. And many officers and mon were heard loudly to'declare that they would never fight in an “abolition war. ” Something of the same feeling I ob­ served at that time in our army in Louisiana. A year was not necessary, however, to do awav with all this sentiment. As the war dragged on. and the enemy continued to manifest astonishing strength and lesouroes, the soldiers camo to see clearly that the. question, no far as they were concerned, was not at all a political one. It was purely a question whether the power of the re­ bellion should be crippled by a blow that would deprive it, day after day, of a kind of property that labored in its fields to raise food for ite armies, and that piled up its earthworks with the spade. In this view of the case, all were soon brought to see that Father Abraham was right. Then came the proposition to employ negro troops sgsinst the enemy; and this excited, if possible, stronger feel­ ing in our armies than the* other. There was a wide prejudice against “fighting with a nigger.” The same cause that overcame the opposition of our soldiers to tho emancipation policy also removed this prejudice. More bat­ tles were fought; bloodshed went on; the enemy was determined, brave, often desperate; and it began to occur to the thinking Northern patriot in the ranks that it was very foolish to refuse any man’s help to overcome this enemy, merely because that man was black. As General Charles G. Halpine wittily put it, in one of his “Miles O’Reilly" soldier songs, - But there was another reason wby opposition in tbe army to negro enlist­ ments was overcome. It was because the negro on some fields began to show that he was fit to carry a musket and fight for the cause. At Port Hudson and at Fort Wngner colored regiments conspicuously distinguished them­ selves, and at the explosion of the Pe­ tersburg mine they would have at­ tacked, and probably would have been the pioneers'of the capture of tbe city on that day, but for the blundering mismanagement of white Generals. A curious example of how men's minds yielded m those days before the "hard logic of aceompliahod eVenta” is found in the case of General Godfrey Weit­ zel. I well rememlx r that in 'Louisi­ ans ho was opposed to the ides of making a soldier of th® negro. Early in 1H>4 he was transferred to Virginia.

Grim Death baa been enjoying a busrnesa boom all over tbe country, during the present month. He likes to make his victims March. Kentucky> defaulting State Treas­ urer, Tate, loaned >30,000 of the state’s money to a whiskey trust, and thou­ sands more to Bourbon Democratic politicians., At this season the qqpstiou which in­ terests a boy is not so much whether his life will be crowned with glory and honor, as whether his new spring vest is going to be made out of his father’s old trousers.

It is a vile drug, and if the townships that go dry lose the license fee, the poor man saves, and there will be more happiness and prosperity under a higher tax. The Syracuse Journal reports that an . Auburn inventor has been granted a patent on a spring. If it is an early spring, and if it can be depended upon to arrive on schedule time, this Auburn man ought to make a bouncing fortune out of it.

They are the best things for temper- The unpleasant quarrel which exists between the United States and Moroc­ co is believed to be mainly due to the jealousy of the Spanish government, which wants to keep this country from «fxneddling with Moorish commerce. Further than this, the king of Spain ia having an awful time cutting his double teeth, and is therefore disposed to kick up a row with everybody in sight. In a street car the other day an anar­ chist, desiring to make himself conspic­ uous, asked a gentleman standing near him, how it was that the gentleman who had just passed with his elegant turnout could have such luxuries while he was obliged to take the street car or go on foot “Simply because be has saved his money and you have drank yours,” was the quick reply.

Farther Detail* of the Horrlb’e Bn* tai Illes on Convicts in the Coal Mines of Arkansas. The Chief Justice of the Su­ preme Court Dies Sudden­ ly at Washington. (Coal HUI (Art-1 spMlel to th© Chloego News.) Gov. Hugl-e* Mid the Board of Peniten­ tiary Commissiouero are here investigating the outrages at tee coupe: camp. The 149 convicts all have to sleep in a little room ninety by eighteen feet— negroes aud white, aick end well—on beds ot shucks and straw that have not been changed for years. The only covering is a thin blanket eo dirly that a sickening stench arises from it. Many of the convicts have to sleep in the we: clothes in which they work. Their dood consist* of salt pork and corn bread \n small quantities. A sample of the brufhlity practiced by 'Warden Hudson, who wjuB here last summer, was given in tie fact that iuT chained a man to a post and whipped him until he died at tho jmsL Another warden, J. C. 8co;t, whipped men unmerci tally without any provocation. A convict named Frank Tolbert was whipped because he could, not do hia task in the coal-mine, and bo ran away. Tho warden ordered Tom Gaddis, a pit boss, to go down nnd shoot him, which Gaddis did. Schlt also whipped a sick convict al moat to death. Green flies got to the lacerated'back and the man soon'Usd of poison. J. A. Gifford, tbe last warden, for whose arrest a reward ot 8400 tv offered, whipped and kicked two convicts to death in tbe most brutal man­ ner. Ho made one non net kill another in a fight, and often made the prisoners fight for nb satisfaction. . ' There were thirty men on the stockade who were examined bv the physician this afternoon whose backs are almost solid sores from whippings and beatings given them, and ten men have broken or sprain­ ed limbs or backs hurt. Dozens of them . testified that sick men were afraid to com­ plain, as every man who complained or failed to do his task was whipped. Whenever a convict was killed by sheer brutality thepnlon physician el this place, W. R. Hunt, Yjmld make out a certificate that he died of a congestive chill or some­ thing of that kind. Fifty men were re­ quired to work oil winter without shoes or socks on their feet in water ftom an inch to ono and a half feet deep. They have no hospital, and the sick are treated just aa tbo well men are. The men are required to mine two tons of coal a day, which is a good day's work for a skilled miner in good health. Tho air in tho mines is very bad, so much so that a lump will hardly burn. Things that transpire tn the stockade are kept profound secrets from the people here, and they hear daily tho shrieks of men who are being beaten. Scott, Gifford, and Hudson will be ar­ rested and tried for murder. His Death a Surprise tp Those Who Did Not Believe His Bluets Serious.

Ths first little figure frock of fine oe the usual annual displav of bonnets is clad in a charming vud huts on tho great religious festival lay. A single hat out of the multi­ plicity of spring styles is like a grain of sand from a seashore, and yet the first illustration in this article shows more than the identical shape and trimming of the example chosen. This hat indicates'tbe tendency of fashion. The brim reaching out moderately over and agreeably shading the face, Ihe high, erect crown, and the absence of protuberance behind are character­ istics of most of tho bati that will be worn during the opening of tho sea­ son. Viewed from nn artistic stand­ point, this hat is picturesque and not loo much exaggerated. Considered as to its adaptability to a wide variety of faces, it is admirable, because it can be inliecoming to very few persons. Tho latest developments in millinery sus­ tain the promise of increased si e in. both bats and bonnets, and some of tlio new things are simply enlarge­ ments of old ones. The absence of i overing or shading for tho back of f'ue head is shown in all tho hats .lepicted'in this letter. Tbe effect gen­ erally is to impart an air of rakishness to tho wearers. With tho hair brushed upward, or nt least without any flowing tresses, there is a neatness and jaunti­ ncss of expression to feminine heads winch could not be seen under tho brim* or inclosures. In tbo matter of bonnets, the peculiar shape of tho period of tbe Directoiie in France are being reproduced, running into pokes, and v ct the neat close shapes, such os worn by the lady in our second illus­ tration, will bo extensively retained. Bibbon is rather ahead of flowers just now for trimming. Upright Lows of ribboiron hats and bonnets continuing cream cashmere, effectively trimmed so long in favor, has created a demand with floral embroideries in cream silk, for a ribbon that will remain in the re­ carried like braces over tho shoulders quired position without the aid of wires and down the back.

It will stand erect on guipure lace. The same beautiful lace forms tlio collar and passes down the coat in front. The dainty little hat is of cream corded silk to correspond, trimmed with a plume of cream ostrich feathers and a bow of fine lace. The hat is prettily caught up in front to show a soft lining of quilled 14ce. The demand for artistic dresses is creating a new field of remunerative work for young women artists. An as­ sociation is being formed to supply the demand, and tbe artist’s training and powers will find wide scope in color, form and arrangement of costumes. Mrs. Cleveland’s pansy dress nnd the ouo of poppy design, worn at the French ball 'recently, will be out­ shone. The first work of the associa­ tion, it is rumored, will bo robes for a recherche Easter tench. • Although there will not be a chance for tho rich coloring, harmonious tones and effec­ tive contrasts . which will be presented later by the association, those Faster costumes will be extremely beautiful, delicate tints and exquisite drapery aud embroidery forming sufficient ma­ terial for artistic work.

The out­ ward feature of her toilet is a rich mantle. 'The very beautiful mantle is just new'from Paris, aud it is made in drap de velours in a beautiful shade of bois, ou which there is a kind of faint peach-colored bloom, altogether im­ possible to describe. Tho mantle is of a simple but wonderfully becoming shape, cut as a circular cloak, but made to fit tho figure closely at the bock by means of some ingeniously contrived pleats. The only trimming on the mantle is a handsome and effective passementerie in black and gold ar­ ranged on the back and around the neck, with a bordering of black fox and at different periods.

Tbe Mississippi and Missouri and Ohio rivers are not included in tbo above state­ ment Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, Nevada, and Iowa get no appropriations. Tho committee decided not to make a specific appropriation for the Illinois ship canal, but to insert in the river and harbor bill a clause permitting the Secretary of War, at his discretion, to make a survey of the Illinois and Desplaines rivers. The clause is not mandatory, but simply author­ izes tho Secretary to do thus and so and pay the expense out of the general appropria­ tion. In other words, the friends of the enterprise will then bo compelled to come to Washington and persuade Mr. Endicott, who can not see over the Allegheny moun­ tains, and frequently not beyond the Hud­ son, to order the survey.

This is per­ haps accounted for by the fact that last spring the prohibitory and salaries amendments were iu the field to be con­ tested for and against, and that thia year many farmers were detained at home by necessary work, especially in sugaring.

The ■cortege proceeded to tha Capitol by way of .Fourteenth street and Pennsylvahia avenue. Promptly at noon, without music or •ostentatious display, tbe first of tbe line of ■carriages drew up at the curb, and the ■undertaker with bis assistants stepped out bearing a wreath of white and yellow roses.

Paul Boyton, the celebrated swim­ mer, who lives in Chicago, went to sea on Tuesday dooming m his inflated rubber suit, and be came near not jetting back. Tho Captain has grown heavy dur­ ing tho winter, and to reduce Lis flesh twenty-five pound* ha*.been taking little pulls out into the lake. These are the point* in his story o* be furnished it: Tuesday morning at 7 o'clock he left Fuller:on avenue for a swim to South Chi­ cago and return, and met with tho uiMt thrilling adventure of his life, in which bo battled for hours with a great ire-floe, was carried many miles out into tbe lake, strip­ ped of his fiurigating instrumenta, and lost for fifteen hour* in tha < old, bleak wa-te of drifting ice, hanging clouds, and strag­ gling ducks and gulls. From 7 o'clock In tho morning until midn ght tho Captain was without food or drink, and tho ch II of tbe icy waters had driven him io tho des­ perate resort of hard work aU that time to keep up a vigorous circulation, so that he would not chill and perish in the lake. At midnight, when ho iwasjescusd at tbe crib, his vitality wav almost gone. Stimulants were applied and tho daring navigator put to bed. A telephone message wa* sent to the po­ lice that tLo Captain was saved, and by them taken to his little family—a wit© and son- who were distracted by his long abHenoe, and supposed h>i had perished.' He bad promised them to return nt 10 o'clock in ths morning, as he had been doing. Mrs. Boyton let that hour pass without uneasiness, but at noon she begun to worry. At 6 o'clock she urged her f iber. Mr. C. C. Connelly, to got a tug and go iu search of her husband, but Mich a search at night wns considered useless. At 1 o'clock, when tho officer arriied with nows of box hu*band's rescue, she was willing to concede that his luck had not forsaken him. Capt. Boyton was in bod when a Tribunr reporter called at his homo iu the evening. He was*-exhausted, tho reaction from Lis desperate excitement of the day before haring made him weak and sick. "When 1 entered the water at 7 o'clock," tbe Captain said, "Ibero was n fresh west wind. I »wam about two miles, intending to clear the crib fora trip to South Chicago.

Va., an epidemic of hydrophobia among cattle of all kinds baa broken out. and the farmer* have lost thousand* ot dollar*' worth of fine stock. A dog owned by a man named Huffman went mad, and before he was killed at­ tacked a number of other dogs, cattle, sheep, swine, and poultry on several farms. These animals nearly all went mad and have since died. There i* Hcareely a farm in th* upper part of the county upon which somo animal baa not been bitten. The dog when it reached home attacked its master, who felled it to the ground and chained it till it died. More than fifty dog* have been killed and numbers ore yot about tbe country. Death* among th* cattle are increasing. Cattle that have died from hydrophobia are lying in the fields, and persons are afraid to eat any meat from that section. JUSTICE WAITE’S ESTATE. ir Kdgsrtes nusybodies. I Washington special | Civil-Service Commissioner Jidgorton is very indignant over the published report that the family of tbe tat* Chief Justice Waite is in great financial distress. The Post publishes an Interview with him on the subject in which be »y* that while the reports ar* absurd he fear* that they may be believed by unthinking people. He says that Judge Waite's sons are both well­ to-do, and whatever their father'* estat* may have been, th* family is not likely to want for anything. What displeased Mr. Edgerton mart i* that the subject should be dtocMMxlat all. Such an interference in tbe private affair* ot the family in the midst of Mrs. Waite'* great distress he re­ gards a* unwarrantable and indecent. MAXWELL'S CASE. where the light betrayed me and ha saw a pinch of my face in that hideous black horns of a Texas steer, ths Captain told me. O, Ill never pretend to tell you what h* thought I was. "This naming I pulled into Rash street, where my friends met me with apparel, and of bandit. It ap­ pear* that Ber­ nal wm a prey to melancholy for some time ‘previous to hb death, and that he felt u strong presentiment that his career was soon to be cut short. His -tatdoneholy wa* intensified by a fatal quarrel over a woman named Louisa Garcia, in which he killed a former 'friend aud comrade.w The party which attacked Bernal on tho morning of hi* death was amall, and might have been easily repulsed. But Bernal's men were dispirited by the melancholy of their chief. He him­ self was one of the first to fall, being struck in quick aucoesHion by three bullets, all from the pistol pt the cap­ tain of the little band of recruits, who were eager to -win the fl0.000 offered for Bernal’s capture or death. The firm bullet was probably fatal, but the second, which crashed through the outlaw's Lrain, did the work of all three. Bernal planned his assaults with great care and skill. His attacks were always delivered in the early morning, ns he had found by experience that he encountered leas resistance at that hour than at any other. He was occasion­ ally overtaken by fits of remorse, and at such times he would repair to one of the numberless chapels which rear their spires in tho heart of tho sierra,. and remain few .hours in prayer before an image. -On leaving the oratory ho would’drop a ?20gold piece into the poor box. Hi* amendment -never lasted long. A few days generally brought tidings of some new and dar­ ing exploit. Bernal will probably bo tbe last of Mexican bandits. Isolated case* of assault will, no doubt, occur, as they do, even in the United States. But never again will an organized band of Jesperadocs bo allowed to terrorize a whole state. A number of legends have already begun to cluster round the name of Eraclio Bernal, and in future ages his story may become as famous in traditions ot the sierra a* that of Hobin Hood in England. His life has a'ready been dramatized and represented with success at one of th* theaters in Boston. Tbe Supreme Court has denied the no- I’reUsr murder case.

Ex-Governor Beriah Magoffin, of Kentucky, got in the train one day at Frankfort to go to Lexington. He sat down by the side of a very handsome, intelligent-looking young mau. The Governor, who was a great talker, at once began to chat. The young man listened well, apparently nodding his head from time to time, a* if he agreed With Aho Governor’s views, but it seemed that he couldn’t find room to put in a word. This continued until they reached Lsxington, when a cordial hand shake and an exchange of cards took place. Subsequently in the cor­ ridor of the Ph mix Hotel, the Gover­ nor was telling a party of friends about the meeting, saying the young man was one of tho moat agreeable fellows he ever encountered. “Perhaps some of you know him,” said he; "he has one brown and one gray eye. But stop, I nave his card!" "Why, Governor,” said one of the party, “that was Bob King; he’s deaf and dumb. Everybody knows him 1" World English. The problem of a universal language is not solved by Volapuk, in the opin­ ion df Prof. A. Melville Bell, on ac­ count of the difficulty of keeping in mind the numerous endings which dis­ tinguish number, gender, case, tense, mood, etc. Ab a more promising sys­ tem, this eminent linguis t recommends a modified form of English fex a world language. English is free from tho ob­ jectionable inflections, and it is already reaching out toward universality. While the language must remain snbatanUaily as at present, a few simpli­ fying changes would undoubtedly bet­ ter fit it for international use; and if these were suggested by n committee of one British and one American mem­ ber.

Frank Barnet* aud family, of Hasting*, spent day. They want everyone to turn out aud eourngcmrnta and difflonltiea. but the result is certain to be productive of last Sunday with relatives here. Frv.1 Peodie ha* moved to town and is locat•omc remedial legislation respecting the taxation of mortgages. VThe commissioner of labor says that he baa reporta from 90,808 farms, or 58 per cent of all the farms in the state. Tbe saaeeMHl valuation of ail farmf re­ ported is tlM.834,633, upon which there is a mortgage indebtedness of $37,456, 372, or a little more than 19 per cent, of the-total assessed valuation, and nearly 47 per cent, on that of the farms mortgaged. An average interest charge of 7.2 per cent gives an annual interest charge upon 58 per cent, of the farms of Michigan of $2,701,669. The assessed • valuation nf all the farms in the state is $835'878,035, upon which tbeestinaated mortgage indebtedness is $64,393,­ 580, with an annual interest charge of $4,686,365 on farms alone. Tbe mort­ gage indebtedness on the entire real estate of Michigan is estimated at $129,229,533, with an annual interest charge of $9,451,851. An interesting revelation of tho com­ missioner of labor’s investigation is that so far as it extended 63.879 farm­ ers were Americans whose farms were assessed at $158,777,818, carrying a mortgage, indebtedness of $36,818,153; while 81,570 farmers were foreigners who brought $4,638,188 with them to Michigan and now own farms assessed at $53,587,871, carrying a mortgaged in­ debtedness of $11,191,714. From this it appears that the farms of Americans • are mortgaged for 17 per cent, of their ateeased value while those of foreign­ ers are mortgaged for over 21 per cent. Against an estimated mortgage in­ debtedness od real estate in Michigan of $129,329,558 the amount of capital invested in manufacturing institutions in the state is $186,697,897. One of these assounts is an investment for the benefit of the whole community; the other represents, as the commissioner of labor says, “a mammoth sponge, constantly and unceasingly absorbing the labor of tbe farmer.” But it should not be forgotten that much of the value of the farms of Michigan is due to the fertilixiug influence of the mortgages plastered so thickly over its surface. A graduate of a “school oT oratory ” in New York is advertising to give “special lessons io bobolink tones and baby cries.*1 Among the elite society people of New York, it is said, baby cries are getting very scarce. Until the material instinct down there be­ comes robust enough to set genuine baby cries up in business it would seem folly for any one to put a lot of coun­ terfeit article in the market.

It is a city of constant surprises but the first glance lurnishea the. greatest Much han born written about the glories of Petersburg. Many writers have given it the highest place on the list of the world’s capitals; but while it is grand it has not tho stately commercial buildings bf Now York and Chicago and can never have, because it is built upon a swamp; nor haa it thp closnty. artistic bounty of I’srm, nor the mature and noble magnificence of London. Tbe Vienna architecture ia much more elaborate, and the * plotureraue residences, undulating grades, and shaded avenues of Washington, are far more pleasing to tho eye. Still when one considers how aud under what circumstances the city waa built, and passes from one to another of the grandest and most luxurious palaces in the world, tho mind is awakened by a euoceeaion of wonders and finds enough. Tbe history of Petersburg is a romance. Miakowickz. a popular poet, wrote, “Human hands built Rome; divine hands created Ven­ ice, but bo who sees Petersburg will ssy, •This town ia tbs work of ths devil.1" This remark was, however, more of a taunt at tbe character of Peter tbe Great, than a criticism of bis city. Aa I have said, tho boasted glories of tho Russian capital are exaggerated, and thore who sro familiar with the other great dtios of tho world will agroo with mo; but it> the moot conspicuous tri­ umph of tno power of the human will in ex­ istence. There arc » multitude of shabby bmlnings, and but few groat works of warble or granite. Moat of tho structure* are of brick, tho only building material that is safo to uao in a climate where tho extremes of cold and heat follow each other, for Petersburg is at ono season of the year one of tho coldest places of human abode, and often in tho summor m hot m Cairo or Nsploa Tho bricka used are cheap and porous, aud are invariably stuc­ coed ou tho outside iu ornamental designs.

Ivau tho Terrible conceived tho idea of •recung a city on the Gnif of Finland, but it remained for Peter the Graat, tho moas enter­ prising and progreMive of all the Russian Qsarv, to carry it into effect, and he did so, because ho “wanted a window to lookout upon Europa. • When Peter went to England in hie yon th, he wu the first of the aovuroigno to leave tho bonudarirs of tto empire.

Perhaps, under such trying circumstances, no -man could have behaved in a more dignified manner than did Mr. Hope. “I am to understand,” he said, calmly, but with a look in bis eyes which I dared not meet—“I am to understand you—you do not love me?" I bowed. I think I will ro back to the honse now." We walked in silence until we'were “Unless my presumption to-day makes my presence unbearable to you, I shall stay two days longer, as I promised Mr. Ligbton.

I went to my room—co exult, of course, in my revenge. It was so full, so com­ plete, so exactly as I planned it And writers and poets say that revenge is sweet. Oh, yes, it waa very, very sweet—so sweet that I double-locked the door, that no one might see how much I enjoyed it—so sweet that I threw myself on my bed, and thought my heart must break as I sobbed and wept, for the truth must be told—I loved Vincent Hope, even as he said, and as I hoped ho loved mo. Yet, for tho sake of vanity, I had to-day rejected tho love of a man, the best, the noblest, the clev­ erest in the world! I had buried my hoarded stone, and right well had it ful­ filled its mission; but its rebound bad crushed me.

I mado a great effort, dabbed my eyes with rose-water. and went down-stoinf in passable trim. To-night we were not side by Hide, but sat directly opposite to one another. Mabel was right—Vinoent Hope was a proud man. His discomfiture was no concern of the world’s, so he showed no traces of it. All save one at that table would have said that hte heart was gay and lightANo one would have dreamed that, a few hours before, his love had been refused by an idiot of a girl. He laughed and jested; anecdote and witty repartee fell unceasingly from his lips. He held tbo whole talk, or every unit of the party talked Co him. Yet, woman-like, I noticed that be drank more wine than waa bis usual custom, and at times there was a sharper, harder ring in his voice. Had it not been for this, and the remembrance of the look which atill haunted me, I could hare believed be had forgotten or brushed away from his mind tbe events of the day. Vinoent Hope was a proud man, and Her­ itage Rivers a fool! I would rather say nothing about the next two days. I bated myself so much that I wonder I have ever forgiven myself —perhaps I never hAre. All I care to say Is, that none even suspected wbat had hnppened; even Mabel began to think that the ■ocuMtion of flirting should lie at Vincent Hope's door, not at mine; for, although ho talked to me when needtul, it wu easy to see that his rpanner was changed.

Ono by one those tears began to fall, and soon camo so fast that laying her head on the table, presented the lery picture of woe. Her be wailings and be weepings were at their greatest height, when the door was suddenly thrown open, and Mr. Hope graph to tbe ground. Even in her dire confusion, the prayer that it might have fallen face downward framed itself. But she dared not look to see; tho had to face the intruder as beet she could. Yet he seemed for tbe moment to be taken even more aback than Miss Riven.

She made no reply, but endeavored tc pass him. He blocked tho way, and by the exercise of some force took both her hands in his. As they stood there, she could see on the ground between them that unlucky photograph lying face upward. "Let me go, Mr. Hope,” she said, “it is unkind to keep mo against my will." Her appeal was in vain. His strong hands held her yet more firmly. Ho seamed to be waiting until she chose to look up and meal his eyes. But that would never have boon —not if he stood Ibero till the present mo­ ment. At last he spoke; bis voice was almost grave; “Heritage, I am very proud. I have al­ ways vowed I would ask no woman twice tc bo my wife; but I will ask you once more il you love me.” Miss Rivers only bent her head lower and lower. "Answer me, Heritage!" he said, in a changed, passionate voice. "My darling, answer me, and this time truthfully!” It was no use. Had she wished to do so she could fight no longer. She ventured. to raise her eyes a little, and said, so tim­ idly, so differently from her usual way of it you would only forgive me.

At 1 o'clock, when tho officer arriied with nows of box hu*band's rescue, she was willing to concede that his luck had not forsaken him. Capt. Boyton was in bod when a Tribunr reporter called at his homo iu the evening. He was*-exhausted, tho reaction from Lis desperate excitement of the day before haring made him weak and sick.

A dog owned by a man named Huffman went mad, and before he was killed at­ tacked a number of other dogs, cattle, sheep, swine, and poultry on several farms. These animals nearly all went mad and have since died. There i* Hcareely a farm in th* upper part of the county upon which somo animal baa not been bitten. The dog when it reached home attacked its master, who felled it to the ground and chained it till it died. More than fifty dog* have been killed and numbers ore yot about tbe country.

JUSTICE WAITE’S ESTATE. ir Kdgsrtes nusybodies. I Washington special | Civil-Service Commissioner Jidgorton is very indignant over the published report that the family of tbe tat* Chief Justice Waite is in great financial distress. The Post publishes an Interview with him on the subject in which be »y* that while the reports ar* absurd he fear* that they may be believed by unthinking people. He says that Judge Waite's sons are both well­ to-do, and whatever their father'* estat* may have been, th* family is not likely to want for anything. What displeased Mr. Edgerton mart i* that the subject should be dtocMMxlat all. Such an interference in tbe private affair* ot the family in the midst of Mrs. Waite'* great distress he re­ gards a* unwarrantable and indecent. MAXWELL'S CASE. where the light betrayed me and ha saw a pinch of my face in that hideous black horns of a Texas steer, ths Captain told me. O, Ill never pretend to tell you what h* thought I was. "This naming I pulled into Rash street, where my friends met me with apparel, and of bandit. It ap­ pear* that Ber­ nal wm a prey to melancholy for some time ‘previous to hb death, and that he felt u strong presentiment that his career was soon to be cut short. His -tatdoneholy wa* intensified by a fatal quarrel over a woman named Louisa Garcia, in which he killed a former 'friend aud comrade.w The party which attacked Bernal on tho morning of hi* death was amall, and might have been easily repulsed. But Bernal's men were dispirited by the melancholy of their chief. He him­ self was one of the first to fall, being struck in quick aucoesHion by three bullets, all from the pistol pt the cap­ tain of the little band of recruits, who were eager to -win the fl0.000 offered for Bernal’s capture or death. The firm bullet was probably fatal, but the second, which crashed through the outlaw's Lrain, did the work of all three. Bernal planned his assaults with great care and skill. His attacks were always delivered in the early morning, ns he had found by experience that he encountered leas resistance at that hour than at any other. He was occasion­ ally overtaken by fits of remorse, and at such times he would repair to one of the numberless chapels which rear their spires in tho heart of tho sierra,. and remain few .hours in prayer before an image. -On leaving the oratory ho would’drop a ?20gold piece into the poor box. Hi* amendment -never lasted long. A few days generally brought tidings of some new and dar­ ing exploit. Bernal will probably bo tbe last of Mexican bandits. Isolated case* of assault will, no doubt, occur, as they do, even in the United States. But never again will an organized band of Jesperadocs bo allowed to terrorize a whole state. A number of legends have already begun to cluster round the name of Eraclio Bernal, and in future ages his story may become as famous in traditions ot the sierra a* that of Hobin Hood in England. His life has a'ready been dramatized and represented with success at one of th* theaters in Boston. Tbe Supreme Court has denied the no- I’reUsr murder case.

Ex-Governor Beriah Magoffin, of Kentucky, got in the train one day at Frankfort to go to Lexington. He sat down by the side of a very handsome, intelligent-looking young mau. The Governor, who was a great talker, at once began to chat. The young man listened well, apparently nodding his head from time to time, a* if he agreed With Aho Governor’s views, but it seemed that he couldn’t find room to put in a word. This continued until they reached Lsxington, when a cordial hand shake and an exchange of cards took place. Subsequently in the cor­ ridor of the Ph mix Hotel, the Gover­ nor was telling a party of friends about the meeting, saying the young man was one of tho moat agreeable fellows he ever encountered. “Perhaps some of you know him,” said he; "he has one brown and one gray eye. But stop, I nave his card!" "Why, Governor,” said one of the party, “that was Bob King; he’s deaf and dumb. Everybody knows him 1" World English. The problem of a universal language is not solved by Volapuk, in the opin­ ion df Prof. A. Melville Bell, on ac­ count of the difficulty of keeping in mind the numerous endings which dis­ tinguish number, gender, case, tense, mood, etc. Ab a more promising sys­ tem, this eminent linguis t recommends a modified form of English fex a world language. English is free from tho ob­ jectionable inflections, and it is already reaching out toward universality. While the language must remain snbatanUaily as at present, a few simpli­ fying changes would undoubtedly bet­ ter fit it for international use; and if these were suggested by n committee of one British and one American mem­ ber.

Frv.1 Peodie ha* moved to town and is locat•omc remedial legislation respecting the taxation of mortgages. VThe commissioner of labor says that he baa reporta from 90,808 farms, or 58 per cent of all the farms in the state. Tbe saaeeMHl valuation of ail farmf re­ ported is tlM.834,633, upon which there is a mortgage indebtedness of $37,456, 372, or a little more than 19 per cent, of the-total assessed valuation, and nearly 47 per cent, on that of the farms mortgaged. An average interest charge of 7.2 per cent gives an annual interest charge upon 58 per cent, of the farms of Michigan of $2,701,669. The assessed • valuation nf all the farms in the state is $835'878,035, upon which tbeestinaated mortgage indebtedness is $64,393,­ 580, with an annual interest charge of $4,686,365 on farms alone. Tbe mort­ gage indebtedness on the entire real estate of Michigan is estimated at $129,229,533, with an annual interest charge of $9,451,851. An interesting revelation of tho com­ missioner of labor’s investigation is that so far as it extended 63.879 farm­ ers were Americans whose farms were assessed at $158,777,818, carrying a mortgage, indebtedness of $36,818,153; while 81,570 farmers were foreigners who brought $4,638,188 with them to Michigan and now own farms assessed at $53,587,871, carrying a mortgaged in­ debtedness of $11,191,714. From this it appears that the farms of Americans • are mortgaged for 17 per cent, of their ateeased value while those of foreign­ ers are mortgaged for over 21 per cent. Against an estimated mortgage in­ debtedness od real estate in Michigan of $129,329,558 the amount of capital invested in manufacturing institutions in the state is $186,697,897. One of these assounts is an investment for the benefit of the whole community; the other represents, as the commissioner of labor says, “a mammoth sponge, constantly and unceasingly absorbing the labor of tbe farmer.” But it should not be forgotten that much of the value of the farms of Michigan is due to the fertilixiug influence of the mortgages plastered so thickly over its surface. A graduate of a “school oT oratory ” in New York is advertising to give “special lessons io bobolink tones and baby cries.*1 Among the elite society people of New York, it is said, baby cries are getting very scarce. Until the material instinct down there be­ comes robust enough to set genuine baby cries up in business it would seem folly for any one to put a lot of coun­ terfeit article in the market.

Aa I have said, tho boasted glories of tho Russian capital are exaggerated, and thore who sro familiar with the other great dtios of tho world will agroo with mo; but it> the moot conspicuous tri­ umph of tno power of the human will in ex­ istence. There arc » multitude of shabby bmlnings, and but few groat works of warble or granite. Moat of tho structure* are of brick, tho only building material that is safo to uao in a climate where tho extremes of cold and heat follow each other, for Petersburg is at ono season of the year one of tho coldest places of human abode, and often in tho summor m hot m Cairo or Nsploa Tho bricka used are cheap and porous, aud are invariably stuc­ coed ou tho outside iu ornamental designs. Ths architectural effect i« often ruined, by painting tbe exterior in hideous color*.

Oh, yes, it waa very, very sweet—so sweet that I double-locked the door, that no one might see how much I enjoyed it—so sweet that I threw myself on my bed, and thought my heart must break as I sobbed and wept, for the truth must be told—I loved Vincent Hope, even as he said, and as I hoped ho loved mo. Yet, for tho sake of vanity, I had to-day rejected tho love of a man, the best, the noblest, the clev­ erest in the world!

Mabel was right—Vinoent Hope was a proud man. His discomfiture was no concern of the world’s, so he showed no traces of it. All save one at that table would have said that hte heart was gay and lightANo one would have dreamed that, a few hours before, his love had been refused by an idiot of a girl. He laughed and jested; anecdote and witty repartee fell unceasingly from his lips. He held tbo whole talk, or every unit of the party talked Co him. Yet, woman-like, I noticed that be drank more wine than waa bis usual custom, and at times there was a sharper, harder ring in his voice. Had it not been for this, and the remembrance of the look which atill haunted me, I could hare believed be had forgotten or brushed away from his mind tbe events of the day. Vinoent Hope was a proud man, and Her­ itage Rivers a fool! I would rather say nothing about the next two days. I bated myself so much that I wonder I have ever forgiven myself —perhaps I never hAre.

Her be wailings and be weepings were at their greatest height, when the door was suddenly thrown open, and Mr. Hope graph to tbe ground. Even in her dire confusion, the prayer that it might have fallen face downward framed itself. But she dared not look to see; tho had to face the intruder as beet she could. Yet he seemed for tbe moment to be taken even more aback than Miss Riven.

She made no reply, but endeavored tc pass him. He blocked tho way, and by the exercise of some force took both her hands in his. As they stood there, she could see on the ground between them that unlucky photograph lying face upward. "Let me go, Mr. Hope,” she said, “it is unkind to keep mo against my will." Her appeal was in vain. His strong hands held her yet more firmly. Ho seamed to be waiting until she chose to look up and meal his eyes. But that would never have boon —not if he stood Ibero till the present mo­ ment. At last he spoke; bis voice was almost grave; “Heritage, I am very proud. I have al­ ways vowed I would ask no woman twice tc bo my wife; but I will ask you once more il you love me.” Miss Rivers only bent her head lower and lower. "Answer me, Heritage!" he said, in a changed, passionate voice. "My darling, answer me, and this time truthfully!” It was no use. Had she wished to do so she could fight no longer. She ventured. to raise her eyes a little, and said, so tim­ idly, so differently from her usual way of it you would only forgive me.

The April statistical returns to tho National Department of Agriculture, just, issued from Washington, relate to tho condition of winter graftrand of farm animals. The season far seeding was long, threo months In some of the boutuern States, and the appearance as winter Mt in was uneven, though tho plants were rooted. In the States affected by summer drought there was alow germination In soil not well pulverised, causing thin stands in such areas. Hence a sujxirficial impression of con­ dition was made which trained eorre■poaaont* saw at on co wm deceptive, and that the impairment o< the status was slight. Later rains iniurovod the proepect. In tbs South the soil was in good tilth, and full growth v»| generally good. In the middle mates ths seeding season was moderately favorable, though in some places the soil was dry. In California, with some exceptions, a very favorable seeding and germination Is reported. Drought in Oregon delayed the plant's growth. Only partial winter protection was enjoyed in the Northern belt. The variable temperature Of March seriously Injured the plant in the central States of tho West, and some loss from winter killing appears oven in *U*xas. On tho Atlantic coast the winter injury was very slight. The condition of fsnn animals is com­ paratively good. There has been some disease among horses, and hog cholera has been some­ what prevalent during tho past year in Its usual habitat. 1 HE Italian bank, tho Banco AvclHnose, at Na 72 Thompson street.

Covered with knots and lumps, the result of foul tips and hard catching, they are things which when once seen can never be forgotten.

It was in that famous fourteen-inning game, when Clarkson and Galvin were pitching like *a house on fire.* The Pitta­ burgs had a man on third, with one man out. A detporaie play had to be made. Carroll, who was at bat, knocked a still ground ball to Burns, and the man on third made a dash for homo. With one of his terrific wrist throws Hurns sent the ball toward tho plate in a straight line. I thought I could eat it up, it came so straight and pretty. By some inadvertence I thrust my fingers instead of my palms toward the ball, which struck squarely on the end of this big finger. Of course, I dropped the ball, and Pittsburg won the game by one run. That crook laid me up for two weeks. It shattered the bone and crushed the flesh so that blood flowed freely. “I havo but one straight finger—tho great finger of my loft hand.

Corcoran gave Goldsmith a ‘finger,’ too." The biggest transaction of the present month has been the transfer of John Clark­ son’s services to the Boston Club.

They are divided off into state rooms, the isle running down tho side of the car; are fitted up with elec­ tric call bells, a library, hot and cold water, etc., in fact all the conveniences Of a modern hostelry. The elegant dining cars of this route furnish a sumptuous .meal, and conductors, train mon, ^niters and porters vie with each other in their politeness to the patrons of this route. There are no secondclass cars and theemigrantor poor per­ son receives the same treatment as tho millionaire. We have traveled consid­ erably but have never received finer courtesy than we did on the C.fit. P. & K. C. R’y, and heartily commend it to the traveling public. We spent Thursday in St. Paul, and Friday aud to-day in this place. St. Paul and Minneapolis are called the twin cities but the keenest rivalry ex­ ists betw< en them. Each has a popu­ lation of 150,000 and each claims a pop­ ulation Of from 35,000 to 50,000 above the other. St Paul thought she gave Minneapolis a black eye when she in­ augurated her ice palace and winter sports, but Minneapolis knocked her out bad when she erected her magnifi­ cent vxpoaition building, one of the finest in the world, and that too, in just 83 days. St. Paul has probably greater financial solidity, but Minneapolis does a greater wholesale trade, bandies al­ most the entire wheat crop of the north­ west and is the greatest milling city in the world. To illustrate: Brother showed us through the Pillsbury ‘‘A” mill to-day. This mill ia dubbed the eighth wonder of the world and makes more flour than any other two mills on the globe. Its daily out-pat is 7,000 barrels, and it requires 140 cars every­ day to aupply it with wheat and take away the products. Minneapolis has a fine water-power and thiaand toother milla are all operated by water power. As intimated previously St Paul in something of a money center and her banka last year sold exchange to the amount of $175,000,000. Her trade was $97,138,000. aod there were expended in aubstautial improvements $11,000,000. Minneapolis is a much younger city than St Paul. It is a finer city, and ia destined, we believe, tn far eclipse its rival in population. In 1887 she re­ ceived 45,504.000 bushels of wheat, of which she shipped out 12,500,000 bush­ els, and manufactured the balance into flour. During tlie same year there were erected over 4.000 buildings. The marvelous growth of this dual metrop­ olis i« due to the rich and productive territory, equal in size to five -MiclnKnot, tribnuu-y tberrbi. and through which there were built in 1887 3,000 miles of railroad. While in this city we met our old towuAmau, Chaz. C. Wolcott, and our former employee, R. M. Collier. The former is the same bustling Charley and takes the same interest in the pros­ perity of Ids adopted city that he did in Nashville. He predicts that witbin ten years St. Paul and Minneapolis, Dow ten miles apart, will have trrown to­ gether, aud have a papulation of a round million. Charles and wife pay eiftht dollars per day for board at the elegant West hotel, aud is considered wealthy. His company has fine offices in the board of trade building, and 35 elevators in tlie country. On the board Charley is kuowu as a ba’r, and has the nerve to make his influence felt quite often. R. M. Collier has the responsi­ ble posktiou as foreman in a large job printing establishment. Well, our train for tbe west ia about dne and we must close. Wi|l bear from us again. . 6. 8. .

It was only an Easter bonnet went in as my share." “Some women folks would call that a good deal; but hero wo are at your gate!

It’s a pity you couldn’t take it differently." With which comforting (?) remark the old gentleman took np his news­ paper and began to read, while Busan, aged twenty-eight, and anything but handsome, bent her head over her sewing to hide her silly tears.

Her hair was short and curly, with a glint of red in if, and her plain black dress, although of cheap - material. fitted her slender figure to perfection. Only sixteen, very pretty, and very poor. Ah! how she-longed for fine clothes and the luxuries money could buy. But, alas! her father was dead, aud she was tho eld­ est of five children, and obliged to work for her dailv bread. . She lifted the bunch of pink tips ten­ derly, und laid them inside of the case. Such finery waa not for her, and a tear dimmed the blue eyes and rolled down the pretty cheek. Ah! how tired she was; for the past two weeks the work bad been very hard for one so inexperienced as Delna Kingston. Obliged to. stand up all day, and show one bunch of flowers, then another,, to crowds of richly dressed ladies, who were all so undecided as to what color they really did want Delna remembered it all with a sigh as she glanced up at the big dock on the wall. ■ Only half-past 1 — nearly five hours longer. Oh, dear! how her head ached. ' Only one customer bod been near tho feather counter during tho morning—a lady who came to exchange the very bunch of pink tips she bad just replaced in the case. The lady said she had decided to have pale-green tips instead of pink. Again Delna glanced at Uie clock. How slowly tho hands more. Twenty-five minutes of two! Hark! What was that? Tho sweetest music Delna had ever beard, like little bells. And listen!—someone is speaking; it cannot be—yes, it 4s tho bunch of pink tips. "Glad to get back? No, I can’t say that I am,' for the lady that bought me tint me on the loveliest pmk plush bonnet I ever saw, and 1 know I looked well. Then I had a very pleasant time, for I went to the opera twice and to a grand reception, all inside ot two days." “Ah! how nice,” murmured a bright rod “Ye*. It was nice." continued the pink tips, “nice while it lasted, but I was bo augrv when 1 heard the lady tell Miss Delna that she had scarcely hud mo.out of the box., for on comparing me with the shade of'plash on the lx>ai.et she saw at once that we did not harmonize, aud she preferred green." “It is a sbatne,” spoke up a cluster of white lilies, indignantly. “A lady pur­ chased me and said I was for a bride to wear. She took me home, and that very evening tbo bride, a lovely blende, fast­ ened me among the sott, ricn lace on her breast. I looked even bolter than tho real flowers, for I never fade. I felt a glow of pride ns I hestlod close to the beautiful white lace, and I thought what a happy life was before mo. But alas! the very next day I was exchanged for a bunch of scarlet roses. ” And, saying this, the white lilies relapsed into silence. "Well! it is very pleasant here." ventured a spray of white daisies, quietly. “Yes. very pleasant, and Miss Delna is very Under of us all," said the blue violets, thoughtfully. “Let me tell my experience,” spoke up a bunch of ostrich tips, of an exquisite shade pf green. "A lady returned me last week, after keeping me three days, and during that time was I utterly miserable, if you will be­ hove it. She selected me for a hat ot blue velvet—just think of it—green and blue. It is a wonder I survived. I had the * blues ’ nil the time I was there, and was delighted when I found myself back here Once more." "That was a dreadful experience,” said a cluster of lovely white rosea. “1 can sym­ pathize with you, for, if anything, my fate was even more heartrending than yours." Tbe green lips rustled softly, and looked interested. “YeB," continued the white roses, speak­ ing very slowly. "I waa very unfortunate. A woman bought me, and paid for me. I didfi't like her appearance, but I was obliged to go with her. It was a long, long dislaapa" to her house, and she walked everyjrtejLfit the way, and carried me in a thin -^-ery Jhnt paste-board box. O, but it wsmcold.” Ana the while roses shivered at tbe remembrance. “Yes. it was cold, I can tell you; quite a contrast to this warm ca*»e. Well, at last ' she arrived at home and threw the box. jthat I was in, into the lap of a young girl, ■who was sitting by the window.

I <can't begin to tell you what I suffered. I 1prayed to die. Then the girl spoke again: " ‘Give ’em to me, ma. I shan't keep ’em. Ill exchange ’em, to-morrow, for rod ones. I guess I know what I wan'.* ' “And she pushed me back into the box, utterly regardless of the fact that she ,crushed all my pretty white pe.'als. Ah! I ।am very glad she returned me; I am happy 1here." And the white roses nestled lovingly against black velvet with a contented sigh. “Your experience should mako us oil 'contented with our present quiet, unevent­ ;ful life,” said a long grar ostrich plume, and the pink tips all nodded approval. 1 “Very true," said a cluster of Bright pur,Ele pansies. “I was longing to go forth ■ ito the world, but from now on, I am ।content to remain here under Miss Daina's 1kind protecting care." There was a soft ruatie of approbation iamong tha beautiful moss rose buds, and Delna made np her mind she would speak but hark!—what wm that? some ,to them, one calling her name? Where was she? What had happened? “Miss Kingston,” it was tha voice of the :floor-walker, “Mine Kingston, are yoa ill?" Dfclna lifted her head, and lookadaround' 1quite bewildered.

Harin, ; in mind the furious tempests of a Canadian winter, when very often neither man nor beast is 'safe} out-doors, he fears that suffering or even death is frequently met here when one leaves the house. And cer­ tainly nature looks into Quebec with uncommon freedom; the entire dome of the sky, rising from a vast expanse pf waters, plains and mountains, is visible from many parts of the town; so that when the sun shines in tliis ex­ ceptionally clear Northern atr ho beams on everything, in a great* rustic effusion rare in a city sun; you almost take the firing of tha mid day gun for his uni­ versal guffaw, rolling through tho cloudless sky. Then when a galo swoops down it bears in upon you fa­ miliarly, oven with a terrible eagerness and ferocity; and I fancy too that the moon aud stars hover close about Que­ bec, for when I go out on a clear night they stare with large-eyed wonder—as well they may, at a near view of such a creature I But the Canadian winter, excepting during the tempest, is a sea­ son full of comforts and enjoyments; for business sleeps, the Lower Town seems empty, and life turns either to frolicsome CuGdoor sports—for which the good air furnishes abundant vigor —or to warm and intimate social pleas­ ures. Even if the thermometer bo as low as ten degrees below zerd, yon will often find the children out-doors— cherubic bundles of fur and wool wal­ lowing in the snow as if it were hay. the babes iu their little sleds, and people out snow-shoeing, skating in the rink, or driving in their cozy "carloles;" the horses may be silvered over with frost, and your own eyelashes laden with globules of ice, or now and then you may have to rub your noeo with snow to warm it after freezing; but, as a rule, everybody is very comfortable in furs, with help of moderate exercise. This French people in America seem to have overcome the dependence of their blood on a warm, sunny climate; they walk the streets in any weather with a comfortable, moderate, often perhaps a mincing gait, while their English friends stride over the snow with a martial earnestness. The poor hack­ men have the hardest experience; in fur caps, and long buffalo coats with collars coming up to the top of their heads, they look like bears masquerad­ ing as mon; they tighten the national red sash about their waists, stamp their feet, swing ther arms, and keep up a continual scuffling and joking to short­ en the tedium of their long hours; and I should not omit to add that their rubicund noses promise well to defy the frost. In braving the gloom and ferocity of a winter storm the city bos a certain savage os well as pathetic aspect; a northeast gale comes up tbe bit. Lawrence in bounding gusts, >nd scaling the cliffs of Cape Diamond, throws the snow back defiantly into the sky; and the battlements shake out hoary mane* from their crests. But the human dements of the scene are more timid; the little house crouching down into the snow-drifts look like tattered toques with tassels of white smoke floating out on the wind; mercy on any poor soul that cannot escape tbe snow-laden gust, cutting as a sand­ blast! with bowed heads, and occasion­ al turning about to catch a breath, even the well-clod hurry on, and like silent phantoms soon flit out of sight into tho white obscurity. When the brooding gloom settles over the city at twilight the bugle throws its cheery notes into the arctic silence of the glacis; as you struggle along the ramparts the Angelus rings from over the monastery wall, while the cannon point to the night ap­ proaching over the moutain-topa.—C. H. Farnham in Harper’s Magazine. Lady Milmsn’ii Eccentricities. Lady Milman, the wife of an Eng­ lish clergyman and the mother of Henry Milman, the historian and poet, was possessed of an eccentric mind and the determination to indulge its vaga­ ries. It is said that she used to carry a volume of sermons to church, in order to read them during the less sat­ isfactory discourse of her own pastor, a habit which could scarcely have add­ ed to the self-possession of the speaker. Like most assertive people, she did stand in awe of one person—her old gardener. One day he was pruning thrfpeach trees in the garden, when his mistress called: “Oh. don’t cut that, Saunders! I want to see those blossoms, I shall never see them another year." “Must come off, my lady!” said Saun­ ders, inexorably, as he sheared away the branch; and his mistress content­ ed herself with grumbling; “Henever will let me have my way!” Lady Milman’s plain speaking was sotoetimoB hard to boar with equanim­ ity. A neighbor once called to see her, somewhat earlier in the day than the conventional hour for morning visits. “Very glad to see you, my dear," said her hostess, rising to meet her, “but you must not ao this sort of thing again!’’—Youth’s Companion.

The changing seasons come and go. moons wax and wane, the stars may fade and tho sun grow cold, but the railway guide that is sold on the train goes calmly on with its ready set matter, placidly sending out long-abandoned trains to “lv." long-forgotten stations, and "arr." at termini buried long since in oblivion and drifting sands, and con­ necting at various unknown junctions with roads that have in years gone by crumbled away into a streak of rust and a forfeited charter.—Burdette. will lower the whole burning suu-s into the waves.

A New Scheme far Subduing Fiatnea. Our cities are getting so large that even Maud S. and Juy-Eye-Seo could not pull a squirting machine to a dis­ tant tenement-house fire in time to save tho fresco, and even if tho hook and ladder was attached to an elevated train it would not reach the scene un­ til some superfluous relative had been wildly tossed out of the fifth-story window. Flames can greedily devour yard after yard of costly kalsomine, and revel in rarejiemlock wainscoting, ere the Croton leaps through the brown-paper glass to drive away the fire demon. In London a novel system is being introduced, which will coun­ teract this evil of long distances. A new city hall is being built, with a re­ volving turret tower, having huge port­ holes and guns. The guns are ex­ tra large mortars, aud quite roomy enough to admit a modern fire engine. A long polo (extending above all surrounding objects) will be erected at each fire alarm box throughout the city, and same will be surmounted by a bright-red disc. Under this now sys­ tem, when the patrolman touches tho alarm the disc aloft vibrates rapidly, which attracts the eye of the watcher in the city-hall tower; whereupon the mortars are aimed at the red mark, tho turret revolves, and as each gun reaches its proper angle tho engine within is shot toward the conflagration, reaching its hydrant in a very vulgar fraction of the pleasurable existence of us all, tCere is probably nothing in which that feel­ ing is so'strikingly manifested os in the peculiar gratification which we de­ rive from the sight of the most famous and the meat infamous men of the age. Whether they, who step out of Uie ordinary track, be philanthropists, murderers, Soldiers, statesmen or vil­ lains, we are anxious-to see what sort of men they are, and if that be impos­ sible—if wo cannot see thorn in propria persona—why, the next best thing in public estimation is to see their portraits—being public lions, or objects of curiosity—and as wax models are a species ot portraiture which is by far tiie most striking, and which approaches tho nearest to nataro, tho gratification they impart, if they bo perfect, is greater than that which is derived from representations on can­ vas. Nothing con, give so correct an idea of tbe featuree aud figures of men as wax model*. Every shade, every line, every little peculiarity can be so portrayed as to make it appear that the originals aro living and breathing be­ fore you. It is impossible to take a portrait on canvas for life; but a per­ fect wax model may bo taken for a living man. Hence, if the most exact imitation of nature be the perfection of art, it was impressed on my mind that the art of wax-modeling, os far as portraiture is concerned, may be held to be by far the most perfect. Mercantile Item. Very few people outside of business circies have any idea how much profit there ia on certain lines of goods, but the following incident throws consid­ erable light ou the subject: A country merchant not far from Austin, who does all his trading in that city, became financially embarrassed. Being an honest man he came to Austin to notify his creditors of his condition. One of his creditors is Mom *»<ihaumburg. “ Veil, <at are you going to do mit your greditors ?” asked Mose. “I am able io pay ten cents on the dol’ir. but in your case it is different.

I write this time of the real Gener­ als—that is, the men who creditably commanded armies or subdivisions of them in the field. Some of them were successful, some not; bnt the soldier who did his best in his station, who en­ dured the hardships and dangers of active service, and who did not flinch from the bullets when they camo his way—that man - is entitled to honor whether he wore a leather bolt or a Jel low sash. And having blown my ittle trumpet in a previous sketch about the show, the loafer^ and the coward Generals, it is a real pleasure to say something of tbe other kind, who were a credit to the cause, and whom the soldiers honored and were proud of. Comparatively few of the surviving veterans knew anything in the war of that gallant Irishman, General fortune to meet him two or three years before his death, and I was completely charmed by the magnetism of the old man's manner, his rich fnnd of reminiscences, and tbe drollery of his eye and voice. He was already a veteran when the war began, having seen a _ distinguished and honorable service in the Mexican war, where ho received a bullet through one of his lungs which caused his death thirty years after. Ho had a surprising.pub­ lic record, extending over forty yearn. An adopted citizen of the United States, he was the early friend of Abraham Lincoln, a General of distinction in two of our wars, and a Senator from threo different States. Although he was quite advanced in years, there were many who thought that his early retire­ ment from the service during the War for tbe Union, was a mistake on the no soldier in any array commanded by an’ r him ever doubled hw peraonal cour- lime!

A lurid glare of lightning shot from tho great bank of clouds in the west; thoro was a terrific roll of thunder, and in­ stantly the air waa dark with a deluge of rain. The wind rose and howled dismally, driving great sheets of falling water before it. Wot through, unable to see tho road before him, terrified by the fury and suddenness of tbe storm, Mason Bel­ mont struggled on. He was unused to such adventures; what to most men would have been merely disagreeable, was to him positively alarming. Tho storm seemed to increase in fury. The distressed wayfarer marked by the glare of tho lightning a leafy otfk some distance ahead. He pressed on toward it for refuge, when a stream of fire smote the tree, splintering its stout trunk, while a ball of fire danced along tbe ground. The wayfarer was rooted to the gonnd with terror. -He tried to to cry ont; after repeated efforts ho succeeded in uttering a word. -Hflloal" “Hilloa yourself!” To his surprise and delight, his cry was immediately answered.

CHATTER IL distressed traveler felt to tho The________________________________ full in that moment tbo wonderful re­ lief that comes from tho fact of com­ panionship in serious trouble. “For God's sake, sir,” he cried, “help mo in, somewhere, out of this horrible storm!

It was a youth of about twenty wbo shouted back against the roaring wind: “Who are you, and where are you bound?” The explanation was given in a few words. “Well," rejoined the youth, “yon can’t get to tho village in this storm. I was on mv way over to Tom Bryson’s when it broke out That’s tho nearest house to us now and I guess I’ll take you there. Let me carry your sachel, air ” Mr. Belmont refused to let go of his charge, but took tho offered arm, and the two slowly wended thoir way along in the darkness and the storm. In tho brief conversation that was possible, the traveler learned that his companion was named Edgar Van Wyck, and that he was the only child of a widow living a short distance away on a cross-road. Presently the two’ turned from tho highway into a wide lone, and followed it some distance. The lano lod through a thick patch Of woods, which entirely hid the, house they were approaching from tho road. As they cleared this wood, they found that the fury of tho storm was over. The wind rapidly went down, tho rain ceased, and almost as it had arisen tho tempest was stilled. Tho guido at liut paused before a house. “This is tho place,” he said. The light was ample, now, to permit an examination of the exterior of the building. It was a two-story frame house of considerable size, standing broadside to the lane. In past years the lane had been a pleasant 'drive through the wood. Occupied onco by somo wealthy proprietor, the house had, through misfortune or othor change, been let for some years. Its occupants hod almost mined it, and it had been long since repairs were made. Thebe waa no trace of paint outside, many panes of glass were missing, and at least one whole sash was broken in; a chimney had fallen, leaving but a few ragged bricks above the roof, in one end of which was a large hole. It was evidently the home of poverty; it did not strikingly indicate hospitality. “This is the place,” Edgar. Van Wyck repeated. “Well, let us go in, then.” The youth hesitated. “What’s the matter?" Mr. Belmont sharply asked. “I hope yon haven’t brought me hero on a fool’s errand.” “You can go in here, sir. or I’ll show you the way to the village." -How far is it ?” “Something more than a mile.” “Pm wet as a drowned rat, and all tired ont, body and mind, with expos­ ure. If I don’t get myself dried right away, one of my rheumatic attacks will lay mo up for a month among you boors about here; then good-by to the object of my journey. Why aid yon undertake to got me a shelter if yon did not mean to keep your word ?” “I have kept it air.

Yonlj £©t a bet­ ter reception from him by going alone than yon would if I went in with vou." Mr. Belmont was greatly dissatisfied with this state of affairs, and urged his guide to remain. “Yon must help me to get in.” he re­ monstrated. “wasn’t you coming here when you found me?" “My business will keep till morning," replied tha youth, with a laugh. “I’m as wet as you are, and in no shape to make calls. Good-by, till morning.” ‘A traveler in distress.” waa the re­ ply. “The stage met with an accident and I started to walk to the village. The rain has wet me through. I am tired and hungry, aud want to stay till morning.” “Ibis ain’t a tavern,” was the re­ joinder. 4 ■ “But you surely won’t turn me sway! It is far to tbe village, and I must dry myself and rest" Mr. Belmont heard a soft voice, which seemed to be pleading for his admission, though he could not hear the words. A growl from the surly voice cut it short “I’m under no obligations to talk to every vagabond that comes along with a made-up story.” “But I nave money. I will pay you well" The last words were more per­ suasive. “Let him in, Jess, and we’ll see what he looks like." Tbe door was opened by a girL Tho apartment and the two persons that were thus introduced to Mr. Bel­ mont havo much to do with our narraHe saw a good-sized room, which, in other dsys, must hare been tbe cheer­ ful sitting-room of some family circle. A broad fire-place was bordered by pictorial tiles, now cracked and dis­ placed. Tlie rich paper on the walls was patched and spotted. The floor was uncarpeted; three plain chairs and a pine table, tho latter now bearing the remains of a frugal supper, were tbe sole furniture. A good tire blazed in the chimney, and an armful of dry sticks and branches lay by it. A tallow candle was lighted on the table. The girl who had admitted the guest was not more than twenty years old. Her face waa young in feature and outline, bnt there was a fixed pensiveDess upon it that made it seem older. Her eyes were gray, luminous and ten­ der; her month was sweet in its lines of sorrow, resolutely repressed. Dark brown hair ran and rippled in natural curls over heir shapely head; her brow, her cheek, her throat were as fair as the pond lily. Her dress was coarse in material, and without ornament. It was this beautiful presence that moved usually ungracious Mason Bel­ mont to an expression of politeness. “I believe I should thank vton, miss, for wishing me admitted. 1 heard you speaking for me." She smiled—she was not used to smiles—and would have answered— when the surly voice interrupted her. “No use of iine speeches here. The stranger says he’ll pay, and the Lord knows wo need his money bad enough. Let him eat what there is left, and dry himself by the fire. He can have my bed if he’ll pay for it. This is all business, stranger—no sentiment st all in it Fix the table over, Jess, while he gets dry." The girl turned silently to her task. Mr. Belmont drew near the fire, but warned by the coldness of bis recep­ tion, he msde no further effort at con­ versation. By tho beat of the glowing fireplace he soon got himself thoroughly dried, and gladly responded to the summons to refresh himself at the humble board. The victuals were poor and scanty,- but tbe guest managed to appease his hunger. A glance or two from Mr. Belmont had satisfied him what manner of man tbe other was, and while he stood by the fire and sat by the table he gave him no more attention. Not so with tho surly host He had also been drying himself; his ragged coat was thrown over a chair, and his coarse shoes were before tho fire. His • shoulders were stooped, though he was not an old man. Gray hair waa scat­ tered thinly over his head ; his fore­ head and "cheeks were seamed with lusterloss, save when anger kindled them; his thin lips were morose and sour in expression. Tbe hands that were clasped about his knees were hard and horny from toil. Hardship, sorrow, the bitterness and the darkness of life were plainly expressed by the whole picture. He did not obtain a full view of his visitor’s face until the firelight shone strong upon it as he sat at the table. Then he gave a sudden start. The surly look gave place to one of doubt; then of close inquiry; finally, as if satisfied, he drew his chair back into tho shadows. Had Mason Bel­ mont then seen that face, he would have been startled by its ferocity. The dull eyes glowed like forge-fires fanned by the bellows. The guest finished his meal; the daughter busied herself a few moments in clearing away the dishes. Then she went up to her father and timidly laid her hand on his shoulder. “You take my roqm, father,” she said. "I can make a kind of bed here with some old wraps. You have worked hard all day, and got wet, and you must not lose vour sieen." A little tenderness, the first that the man had shown, appeared in his reply: “No, Jess; you go to bed, and I’ll do the sitting up. I’m going to have my tormentor to-night—the devil of faces and things long past It’ll make no difference whether I have a bed or not.” “Poor father!—how I wish------ ” “O, go Tong with your foolishness! Here it’s half-past eight by the clock. Go up to your luxurious room—the only one on* the whole upper floor of this old den fit for a human being to sleep in. Dream, if you can, that there's something in this wretched world worth living for. I’ll show the stranger where to sleep." She lighted another candle, and put­ ting an arm around his neck kissed his cheek. He neither noticed nor resent­ ed the caress. The door closed behind hex; they heard the rickety stairs creak “PoUTXMEas.” snyc a modern Yankee Socrates, "is lawful tender all tbe world over; it will yriu nine times out of tan ob mankind, and is a good risk tn Uka svsc Htxin tha mnla " I | ' • « �train* •cat beside him aATPap** MIOHIGAB ought 4b carry conviction . _____ HEWS. eluding — ------------ -—— mM.

Umbrsomg a Few Beasonshle Hints About the Latest Styles in Dims. A spring opening by a Fifth avenue milliner ia something portentous. One -of Queen Victoria’s court days is not much grander or more ceremonious. You don’t get in without a special in­ vitation A liveried flunkey stands at 4he door to take the elaboratelv en­ graved cards and to keep out all who. come without them. A long -line of fine equipages stands along tbe block. There have been three of these im­ pressive occasions this week. If all the fuss about tbe feathers seems npn-sensical, it is none tbe less business­ like. In the first place, it impresses -wealthy and fashionable customers -with the exclusiveness of tbe estab­ lishment, and thus leads to the sale of bonnet* at fifty dollars apiece that -could be bought elsewhere, so far as quality of materials is concerned, for -ten or lew. But exactly tho same articles will not be obtainable in other millinery Mores within a month or ■more, and therein lies the utility of tbe •doorkeeper and tbe admittance cards. For instance, there is here sketched a -curiously slouched, Dictureeque hat It was exhibited at one of tho men­ tioned openings, and it illustrates the present tendency toward picturesque­ ness in hate. Tho material is soft felt, auch as the finest of men’s slouch hats are •made of, but the color is .light blue, while the others of tbo same lot are in maif hues. Now this particular mil­ liner has a set of extremely fashionable ■ customers, who delight in wearing things that are not common and cannot ■ soon become so. Therefore the pro­ prietor devised this peculiar hat, gave a secret order to a manufacturer for a production of a stock of them, and :uow springs them on the market nna- warea. The vogue of the concern is so TEXDIXO TOWARD THE PICTUEESQVE. - great among our wealthy ladies that they will usually accept such a novelty from it The upshot is that extrava.gaut prices are got for a positiraly unique article, which rivals cannot re■ produce until many weeks have passed. These ventures nften fail to •catch the iancy of the frivoloua, but tbe successes are so remunerative that ’.they for outbalance the losses. Now ■the careful exclusion of other than in'wited guests shuts out those imitative uud small-fry milliners, who would ■ otherwise swarm tho place, as well aa the ladies who are so shameless as to make their own millinery. The dealers would like to have a law passed making it a State-prison offense in any woman to trim her own bonnet Those who like to command atten­ tion by means of millinery will this ■spring take to eccentric poke bonnets, and trim them lavishly with white or •colored ostrich feathers. Millinery is the foremost fashion topic just now, and never did it present a wider range of styles in shapes or material. As a generalization, it maybe said that bon­ nets are small and hate are big; but it is nevertheless true that many large poke bonnets are displayed in the -openings, and that snug little turbans, toques, and othersmall hate are there for those who do not like extravagance. Rough, fancy braids are jopnlar in the -wrey of material, and they contest for supremacy with Milawtraws and Tus-can. The toques and turbans are apt to lie oval in shape, sometimes running tp a point in front, and fitting closely •over tbe forehead. All models in this -class of hate, when made up of some piece materials and straw braid in combination, have a mffion-shaped or •oval crown, while some of the straw bate are very unique and novel in hav­ ing a crown with the uplifted front of ’that of the cadet's cap, and indented -or crushed in at tbe back. Many turbans and toques appear in the stocks of our more practical milliner*, and evidences are in favor of continued and increased jmpularitv for these convenient and useful head­ dresses. Flowers are under military taboo in Faria, and are infrequently seen on bonnets imported. Metallic pMsemeuterie, fancilul p'.amage, aud ribbon velvet are things used for trim­ ming generally. Parisian Ixa-nete are apt to have tbeir brims bordered with gathered velvet, rather bright color* being choMn, wd the velvet edge cmbvotdered with gold filagree, or adorned with gilt or glass beads.

Whenever I go down Broadway past Trinity Church ot a pleasant after­ noon, at the time when the Wall-street brokers are thronging out of their bosy thoroughfare dispersing for their homes, I see a young woman who is bewitching them with her artistic dross. They don't know it, and could hardly be made to comprehend it, any­ how, but it is as clear aa A B C to a woman. The girl is a flower-vender, and for two or three hours toward night she stands with her back against the railing of tbe churchyard and a basketful of flowers at her feet She is decidedly pretty, to begin with. She wears no covering on her head, and her complexion !* naturally fine enough to stand tanning without deterioration. She arranges her auburn hair deftly enongh, and yet in a style that does not suggest carefulness to a clumsy male observer. Her dress is cheap calico, but it fits her as nicely as any silken gown on an heiress’ figure. Her sleeves are rolled up nearly to her elbows, to show her shapely forearms, and a shawl folded and crossed over her bosom reveals a segment of tho same complexion. Thus she makes the neatest sort of a figure, tidy and feminine, without any grotesqueness or extravagance. She’ commands ad­ miration, and the practical value of this success lias in the fact that she can sell ten cent flowers for a quarter. She has to endure a good deal of ogling and occasionally an impertinent re­ mark. but she is adroit and self-pos­ sessed. and knows how to repel any in­ sulting advance*. I fancy that she does a thriving business, because I mat her up-town the other day, and then her ingenious flower girl's costume was replaced by a handsome and rather ex­ pensive promenade toilet.—Chicago Foahlua Fripperies. The waistcoat is now the most dressy part of the gown. Tailor gowns are made to fit smooth­ ly without whalebones. Silver vinigrettes are made small enough to slip inside the glove. “Blood opavgx* is the name of a fashionable shade of kid gloves.

J oltowing Uii* cue tbe reporter began to east hi* eyes about him iu hi* wa^k along Market street. The first sign that attracted his particular attention waa one that hangs in front of a hat-renovating establishment, and which mates the following announce­ ment: "Your hat blocked while yon wait for fifty cento. It fails (o state how long you muat wait for the fifty cents, and therefore, the exact time at which the “dicer" will be returned to its owner is rather vague. A little further on and a commission house was reached, where a large piece of pasteboard swung out to the breeze, upon which, in letters that evidently emanated from the marking pot, ap­ peared the words: “Goose Feathers Marked Down." Now, as to just whether this was a little practical joke on the part of tho merchant, the reporter did not know, but as “down’’ without any false repre­ sentation on the seller, or without con­ veying tho fact that they are any cheap­ er than they have been before. Then the reporter began to scratch h's intelligent cranium and sauntered back to tho office. As he crossed the street near the panto factory, he saw a small sign hanging to a post, and going a little closer, read the startling intelli­ gence: “Female Fants Makers Wanted." . Comment was unnecessary, and the tcribeSfent on his way. A few minutes later.he -picked np a Richmond, Va., paper, and in the “want” column read the advertisemot of a tobacco manufacturing firm, which was worded in this way: “Wanted—four girls to strip in a to­ bacco factory." Just underneath this was another small "ad.,” stating:.. "For. Rent—Two rooms furnished with a young widow." Ye gods! The reporter’s brain began to reel, and in spite of himself be begun to wonder what tbe world in coming to. He had been raised in a Christian com­ munity, and his cultured mind failed to grasp tbe sanctity of the situation. In despair he turned from tbe adver• tising columns, and imagine the harrow­ ing state of hia feelings when he read an account of a double murder, in wh'ch it was stated that “John Rice was shot in the abdomen; tho other man waa shot in the saloon next door." —Memphis Avalanh". .

Tbo extraordinary number of roll-call* and length of the session ha*dJafiJy de­ moralized tbe reading clerks, and vinous employes of the House have been triad aa substitutes, with .indifferent sucee-s. 1 As one clerk with insufficient vocal ability was struggling along with' the roll-call on tho Weaver motion, Mr. Dockery, of Mis­ souri, generously stopped forward amid the applause of tho House and took up tho call iu a ronorous voice. During the small hours the snores of ebony occupants of the public gallery mingled with the sounds of campaign songs and laughter emanating from tho coot-rooms, tbe confused rumble of hoarse breathing of sleepers, and the subduedapplause of good story-tellers like Mason of Chicago and Allen of Mississippi. Every place available for a man to sire tch himself upon was occupied, except tbe broad marble mantelpieces over tho open grate-fires, in the corners'of the hall; and some ot the relays on guard even sought repose by sitting upon the small cf their backs with their legs thrown over a desk and heads resting upon tbe desk behind them. The more wakeful spirits amused tbe in solve* by playing joke* upon tbsse. Among the moat laughable incidents were the trick* played upon Brumm of Pennsylvania, Taulbee ot Kentucky, and Long of Massachusetts.' While Taulbee, onn of tho most officiously active and least infine nt tai of the minority, was snoozing in tho amen corner, some wag bid bis bsogsns, and when the lank Kentuckian was awakened by tho fall of a bundle of Con­ gressional records upon his stomach, bo could not find his abuse, though he goodnaturedly hunted under tbe sofas and be­ hind tho doors. Finally ho found one shoe, and amid hilarious merriment aud appeals of jesting members to put on his shoes, he came down the aisle, and, rising to a question of privilege, asked how much time he had left “The gentleman is out of order,” said the Speaker, and Taulbee retired amid jeering laughter to appear a little later with odd shoes on hi* feel. Hr. Brumm of Pennsylvania was the butt of a joke that dosed his gaping mouth with a snap and dropped his long legs from tbe desk to the flojr with undignified haste, and of coarse everybody roared at his sudden waking in a fright.

Dear News: Precisely at 4:85 on the afternoon of April 7tb, the long Pacific express -ateaoiod out of the Union depot at Minneapolis for its trip of 2,000 mile® to the Pacific coast, with ye wanderers aboard. We have comfortable seats iu the Pullman and proceed to rake in the view from tbe car windows. The large farms and fine buildings give abundant evidence of the prosperity of the counAfter a refreshing rest in the sleeper we wake In tho vicinity of Jamestown. The farms have grown larger and the country is more sparsely settled. We are in the famous “No. 1 bard" wheat district. Our brother, tbe •‘Colonel ” who ia supposed to know all about flour, nays that "No. 1 bard” is a cele­ brated grade of wheat grown only in Northern Dakota and Minnesota, and being rich in gluten is eagerly sought after by millers. People bare been go ing to Dakota in large numbers for years, but it is A VAST COUNTRY, And there is room for treble the num­ ber now there. The Northern Pacific Railroad company yet have millions, of acres of land in tbe "No. 1 hard” dis trict for sale at low prices. We reach Bi#mark, named after the German chancellor, about ten o'clock and have half an hour to look over the city. ’Tis Che Territorial capital, and with its fine new brick buildings pre­ sents a likely appearance. It claims 5,000 inhabitants and bright prospects. We cross the Missouri river on a fine S pieriron bridge, aud /each Mandan just forty-five minutes before we left Bismark. This extraordinary feat is accomplished by a change of time from "Central” to "Mountain,” which is one hour slower. A few hours ride and we pass from an agricultural to a grazing country, and now and then observe large herds of cattle grazing upon the plains. The snow has disappeared aud tbe air la balmy. As we approach the western boundary of Dakota we strike THE BAD LANDS, And everybody concedes they are rightly named. For n distance of thirty or more miles there stretches out upon either hand a series of clay dunes, looking for all tbe world like huge ash piles, and sometimes smolder­ ing from internal fires, and agaiu rep resenting pyramids and the ruins of mammoth castles. Fire and flood in the past ages have undoubtedly made the Bad Lands what they are. It would seem that these lands could not sup­ port tbe most minute animal life, but we are informed that it has valleys, especially adapted to stock raising, and that large game abounds. Tbe scenery of the Bad Lands is of a startling ex­ traordinary character, and no lover of the wonderful in nature should miss seeing them. — Leaving the Bad Lands wo find our­ selves upon a rolling plateau with the snow capped mountains arising in tho distance, forming A PRETTY PICTURE. We are now in Montana, and the nutritions bunch-grass, upon which stock thrives and fattens tbe year round is just beginning to send out its tender shoots. Itis a country of magnificent distances and very deceptive to the eye, which causes tbe Colonel to relate A STORY About a tender-foot in this country, who estimated tbe mountains at a mile away and started one morning to walk over to them. After 'walking ten or twelve miles and apparently getting no nearer his destination than when he started, hia wiser friends in a wagon overtook him at an irrigating ditch. He was undressed, bad his clothes tied on his head and was just ready to step into the ditch. His friends inquired bis intentions. He answered that he was about to swim the liver. They told him that it was only a ditch and he could jump it easily. "H----- l,r he re­ plied, "1 was not sure but that it was a river uud might be two miles wide.” At Glendive we stoke the Yellow­ stone river, and follow up the meander­ ing stream for 350 miles until we attain an attitude of nearly In tbe meantime we have passed an­ other night in tbe sleeperWe wake at Livingston, a pretty city of 1,800, aud the diverging point for the famous Yellowstone National Park, entitled die "Wonderland of the World.” We should dearly love to vis­ it the Park and "take in” its matchless scenic attractions but tbe season has Dot yet opened.

Thaophilus Smith ha, invented a wonderful instrument. It has not yet been patented, owing to an accident which I shall mention later on, and so, out of loyalty to my friend, who ex­ pects to realize a large return from tho invention,' I shall not describe it fully, but will give a brief sketch of the occasion when it was tested. A slight preamble, however, is nec­ essary. Doubtless every thinking per­ son has. at some period of his life, puz­ zled himself over tho electric com­ munication or responsiveness of mind as well as of matter.' For instance, it frequently happens that thinking deep­ ly of a person is tho forerunner of meeting him, and finding that he has been engrossed with thoughts of your- ____ r______________ Mrs. Smith's face was crimson; but Theophilus was jubilant. "Airs. White to a T! Paas on to Mrs. Black, my detx. I shall have io use your mind, for I could not bring mine in unison with gossip," which, don’t you see, waa saying that hit wife could. Mrs. Black and her husband began life without a dollar and worked their way to a comfortable fortune. They were rather parsimonious, but this was owing, no doubt, to the rigid econ­ omy they had been obliged to practice in early "life. It now appeared they were already conversing about their entertainment, for Mr. Black’s words camo directly: "Such* oxtravaganoe would ruin most men. I noticed Smith has real walnut doors to his .library. He took me in alter tea and showed me his books. Scientific men haven’t a grain of sense —not a grain! Books enough to buy a house that would rent for five hun­ dred a year!” "Did you notice the biscuit?” asked his wife. “They were so rich they would drop to pieces off the plate. So much silver! and solid too; for Mrs. Smith thinks, it is vulgar to use plated ware. She may see tho time------ " “Now for Mra. Gray," said my friend’s wife, readjusting tho current with a jerk. “She is neither extrava­ gant nor the reverse. They are not rich and sho makes a penny serve the turn of many. Her costumes are ex­ quisite. She may think a trifle too much about such things; but she is very lov­ able and her husband advises her." With powerful adaptability Mrs. Smith became in unison with Mrs. ! Gray. “Poor Marion is such a dowdy! If there is any one in this world I like, it is Manon Smith; but I never nee her j that I do not ache to fix her up. With her means, it is too bad that, she-has no more taste. The dress she hod on [ cost enough to clothe me for three months; but how it ooked! And her hair—oh, dear! I could dress it vo look exquisitely, for it is beautifully long and abundant" “But she doesn’t give her mind to such things, Bella; she and Smith are । above it." . I "I know it; and their home is de­ lightful; so elegant and quiet and lit I tie Charlie is a perfect cherub." self, a mutual desire, or mutual thought, having culminated in this meeting. “How strange!" you exclaim togeth­ er; “I was just thinking of you.” Theophilus thought long and deeply | of these matters, and at lost conceived a method of connecting two such cur- • rents of electricity by means of a pow- j erful instrument, so that the thoughts of one person might be telegraphed. I us it were, to another whose mind wps at that time in unison; and, when j words were used, a phonograph attachment would b« Kt in motion to tell thorn off, reproducing the exact tones I ol tho spenkor. But in an invention of this kind, so startling in iu powers, Ibero muse ot necessity be some drawbacks. For instance, putting one's mind -in unison.as my trend Theophilus expresses it. I is impossible, unless the person with whom you desire to communicate is thinking ot you at that exact time. Thoophili is blessed with a dear little woman tor a wile, one who belieros, as all women should, implicitly in her husband's genius. When hi spoke of testing the machine she said at once, with the wisdom that seems to characterize her: “Why not invite my four dearest friends, with their husbands, to a social tea? They will say nothing hard of us. of course, but they will say some­ thing on their way home; all people do. Mrs. White usually does not wait until she gets into the street I have been with her anti all of them, you see, and know their ways. Mrs. Black speaks later, but with no length; Mrs. Gray waits until she gets nearly home, and'Minnie Green until she M housed. You know she is so quiet, sho never chatters in the street like some women.” There was so much wisdom in this that I was lost in-admiring wonder, while Theophilus said concisely: “You are a trump, my dear," at which the little woman flushed with My hostess looked a little relieved.

Talk about their high breeding! They are simply stupid. Mr. Smith seems to have his head in thc clouds al! the time. I like to be amused and if that old bach that is there all tbe time hadn't eaten sauce with his cake 1 should have gone to sleep. They say ho was in love with Mrs. Smith before she married Theophilus. 1 wonder if Theophilus knows it! How ridiculous they act over that child of theim, thinking he is so bright and forward and laughing at all his silly little speeches—actually bringing him to sit at the table. Homely, too! Smith’s nose and Brackett’s chin is enough to spoil Buy child. You know wo have always thought Ebenezer a little more backward than any other children; but kind! he is ten times as smart as that child." •Ebenezer, indeed!" exclaimed my friend’s wife, jerking the machine with so much force that it fell from the table, saying, feebly: “Such fools!" no doubt the beginning of a new sen­ tence by Mrs. Green. “And X thought that woman weak," gasped my friend's wife. “She seems anything but weak, and so do you, " said Theophilus, ruefully, lifting up his much in a, and seeing at a glance that it was broken. “It will take a long time to repair this, for I can trust it to no hand but my own," said he. “The test has been all that could be desired, and rather more,” he added. “You’ll bo famous, Theophilus," X cried, with enthusiasm. •Famous! Well, but if it breaks friendships, shall X bo doing good?" “Friendships!" repeated his wife. •Xt will be a sort of society sifter,” said L Tho machine has been repaired, and will make its appearance soon. Theophilus showed it to Edison the other day. “Smith," said ha, "you have stolen my thunder." Tbe day arrived, and the company eat down to my friend’s well-spread table. I was present, of course, to share in his tnuwpb. The food was excellent, and every one appeared de­ lighted with each othrr and their enter­ tainers. while little Charlie.my friend’s only child, was pelted to hsa heart’s con ten L My though' s wsudared often, I confess, to the innocent-looking case that contained my friend’s instrument. Theophilus shared in my feelings, I am •are, for he was absent-minded at times and I caught him glancing quietly in that direction more than once. Not so Mrs. Smith. She wan os calm us a ■summer morning, which shows, I think, that the feminine mind more readily lends itself to deception, for aa soon aa bdr guests took their departure Mrs. Smith rushed to the machine and ex­ claimed, uh she touched tho battery: •Now for Mrs. White.” Mrs. White was a very extravagant lady, whose former husband died a bankrupt, and whose present one, though in easy circumstances at the time of tbair marriage, was now said to be much straitened. Dr. Stkphxh Magkexzdc, lecturer on “Buch a table!" clicked tho machine, in Mrs. White’s very tones. “I like raedicme at the London Hospital, rec­ lira. Smith; but she is so dose.

More than one-third of the area is in the streets, and most of them are 2U0 feet between Xhe building lines. Endleas almost are the open spaces and squares, treeless and unturfed, sur­ rounded by houses gauged upon tho same scale as the streets. In one place you can walk half an hour and pass only three polices. and it is common for a single residence or palace to occupy the whole front of a long block. Many of the large houses belong to members of the imperial family, others to nobles, and more to wealthy mer­ chants and bankers. In some of the houses, it is said, as many as 1(M> servants are employed, but in Russia every servant has his own peculiar duty, and will not do anything else.

If he is entertained at lunch­ eon, he is expected to give a tip to tho dvornik who opens the door for him, the footman who takes his cost, tbo butler who serves him st the table, and so on all around, which makes dining out a rather expensive matter. And the host looks on complacently from long association to* see his servants paid by his guests. The fact that a very large proportion of the inhabitants of Petersburg and other cities of Russia live iu large apartment houses, like those of Paris, makes it an easy matter for the police to exercise a constant and almost abso­ lute surveillance over them day and night These apartment houses, ac­ commodating ten. fifteen, and some­ times thirty families, all have tho same entrance, through which all who enter must pass—the butcher, the baker, the boy from the telegraph oflice, the man who comes to take the slops, and the ladies who are ont paying fashionable visits. This single entrance usually lead, into a court-yard, which furnishes light and air for the inner rooms, and is a thoroughfare used in common by all the tenants. In charge of the en­ trance, and occupying a little oflice on the ground floor is the dvornik, or con­ cierge, or doorkeeper for the establish­ ment. He has the keys to the great oak doors that bar the passage after certain hours; he sees all who enter; ho takes charge of the letters the post­ man leaves and the packages that come from tbe shops. He sweeps the front pavement, sprinkles it with a hose, and is responsible for the tidy appearance THE DVORXJK’S DIXXKR. of the court-yard and tbe stairway, and thus far is* a harmless and a useful servant. But his relations with the police aro such aa to surround him with odium to any illegal lodger, and to make him feared by all who enter his door. He is the little czar of that establishment, an autocrat with unlimited power, and, if he is dishonest, a very dangerous man. But no matter how bad he is, neither tho owner of the establishment nor the tenants can get rid of him with­ out the consent of the police, to whom he owes a higher allegiance than to his employer. His wages are paid by the landlord who owns tbe building, but he is appointed by the Director General of Police. Id 1'etersbnrtr, in fact throughout al!

But his life stood in the way* The life of such a man! Should he care for that? The candle wont out; there was dark­ ness everywhere in tho old house. For half an hour Bryson never stirrod as he leaned against the wall. The deep, regular breathing of Mr. Belmont soon told that he was asleep. And in si­ lence and darkness the fiend whispered in Bryson's ear. CHAPTER VL It was past one o’clock, when, with­ out a light, and with feet unshod, Bry­ son groped his way down into the cel­ lar. Feeling about in the pitchy dark­ ness of the place, he found a shelf. Several articles upon it he handled and rejected, but presently seized the one for which he searched. It was a thick, heavy iron bar, two feet long. He placed it'inside his waistcoat, and followed the wall along to another part of the cellar, beneath tbe floor of the room where his guest was sleeping. Mounting an old box, ho cautiously tried the floor. It did not yield. Sev­ eral times he changed the position of tho box, aud pushed tbe boards with his hands, before they yielded. At list a trap-door was lifted a few inches. He paused a moment, with both hands above his head, to make sure that there had been no alarm. Then With a painful effort he raised himself by his hands into the trap-hole, his back pushing up the door as he did so. The muscular effort filled his body with pain; but he succeeded in drawing himself up, until bis knees rested on the floor of,tho chamber. Then oc­ curred a mishap that bo had foreseen, but could not prevent The heavy door had been raised by his shoulders to the perpendicular; fo getting his knees on the floor the trap was thrown back, and fell over with a crash. The sleeper started up, thoroughly awake. “Who’s there?" he demanded. There was no answer. Tho room was as still again as it Was dark. "I say—who’s there?" Still no answer. “Was I dreaming about a noise, I wonder?” Mr. Belmont thought. He jumped from the bed, and finding his match-case, struck a light The flash revealed his face as he stooped to­ ward the chair to light the candle. A dim figure glided swiftly aud sil­ ently to him; there was a dull noise aa tbo merciless iron bar descended in a terrific blow upon his temple, and Mason Belmont fell like a log, dead at the foot of his assassin. The lighted match ntill burned upon the floor where it had fallen. Bryson snatched it up and re-lit tho candle. Tho victim lay prone on his face, his arms thrown abroad. A moment's hesitation; a shudder, and then tbe murderer pulled tho body to the trap-hole, and hurled it into the cellar. The victim’s coat, shoes, and hat followed. Then the iron bar, then the sachel—and the trap-door was re­ closed. Pastoral Kentucky Life. A Kentuckian, writing to a friend, aaya: “You recollect that willow-cov­ ered flask that Tom Potter bad, the one that you wanted so bad. He thought the world of it, for it held a quart and waa the handiest thing I ever seed. Wall, it’a no more, for Tom got into a abootin’ fracas the other day, and tbe flask waa broke all to pieces.

N June, 1863, the JConfederates -were ■ well intrenched intrencr ' at Tullahoma, and it was Bragg’s intention with the least possi__ ble delay, to gain 1 possession of Shelbyrille. ’ " k But naturally Gon“ eral Rosccrans was not willing to permit this fresh acqui­ sition on the part of the rebel com­ mander, and so ho at once prepared to seize Hoover’s, Liberty, and other gaps, and even to drive the enemy out of Tullahoma itself. But the tint thing to be done before making an important move was to ob­ tain full and reliable information ns to Bragg’s position. and numerical strength; and therefore Gray Giles and Reub Stacy were sent out on this dangerous mission. When near Normandy, which was just beyond the river, a fearful storm camo on, and after due reflection the Ey scout decided to stop at the vil_ a hotel, the landlord of which pro­ fessed to bo a Union man, and wait thero till tbe rain was over. “It’s a risk, I know.” ho said, “show­ ing ourselvev in tho village; but we must take risks sometimes.” “We have taken them before now, .old friend," returned Reub, carelessly, “and shall live to take them again.” Tbe bridge across the river had either been swept away or burned, but a countryman, mounted on a mulo and headed toward town, coming up. offered to show them a ford, and so they were soon safely on the other side. They passed through tho principal village street, and alighted at the door of the hotel, where they were hospita­ bly received, and shown into a large apartment, which answered tho double purpose ot dining-room and parlor. The night became still more wet and cold, and, accounting themselves for­ tunate in gaining shelter, they seated themselves, and prepared to enjoy tbe comfort of a blazing wood fire. An hour passed, the table was spread, and tbe countryman, having stabled his long-eared charge, entered the room, and seated himself at the foot of the board. The meal wan al out to commence, when a trampling of horses' feet was heard without, aud the landlord rose hastily, and with every appearance of alarm peeped suspiciously from the window. “Three travelers,” he exclaimed. •Thank goodness 1 I feared some of the rebels at Tullahoma bad returned once more, and that we should be plundered by them for the hundredth time.” Gray Giles rose and looked out, but it was too dark to discover who the late visitors mjght be. One seemed superior to the others, for he flung the bridle of hta horse to a companion with an air of authority, and quitting the stable-yard, entered the hotel by the back way. He was evidently a man of little cer­ emony, for he stalked into the dining­ room, threw hia military overcoat to the landlord, unbuckled a belt to which a saber was suspended, deposited a car­ bine and brace of revolvers ou a chair, and then took a seat at the table with as much indifference aa if he bad been fo hta own home.' The newcomer war. a ntrange-lcoking personage. Hia face was a puzzle; it waa one that you oould not look up­ on without a nameless feeling of sus­ picion and dread, and yet, taken sepa­ rately. the features were handsome. His figure was tall and commanding, his dress plain, though half military, and he wore high cavalry boots with jingling spurs. While Gray Giles and Stacy exam­ ined him with deep attention, a hur­ ried look on his part ..round the table appeared to satisfy hta curiosity touch­ ing the company to whom he had in­ troduced himself, and, fo the easiest manner possible, he proceeded to take matters into his owa bauds. “Humph!” he eKclsiined, with a glance at the viands; "what's here's well wen enouga, friend ifwdci Boniface; ouunoce; but uiu there’s not enough of -j it—not by half, On with more food! I have two friends outside who will be >n present- I labors, and the hoe; voluntarily de­ parted to see that tbe horses of the late guests had been properly accomtnodated. Toward Gfles and Stacy the stranger ! evinced, trom tbe first, decided symp­ toms of civility, and among the three there appeared to be a friendly rival- ' ship as to which of them should hold ; out longest at tho table. ■Faith, friends," observed the stranger at last, "to judge by our per­ formances, wo all seem fo excellent health. No sauce for supper, after all, like a long ride through the moontains. “Ho, landlord!" he called, “some­ thing to drink—whisky, I say; and none of that stuff you keep for niggers and mule drivers; tho best, miodl" Then, again turning to our friends: "What news, gentlemen? What is old Rosey about? Will he soon bo on tbo move again?" The gray scout assured him that on these points they were ignorant, gave him a fair excuse for their journey. “Where is the nearest post at pres­ ent occupied by Confederate cavalry?" suddenly questioned tho newcomer of the landlord. "Tho nearest is below Davidsonville. ” “Very welL Get me a trusty mes­ senger; and mind that he be trusty, or------ " He looked the rest; the landlord per­ fectly understood it. It was a look that conveyed more than any language could express. One of his companions, who had eaten supper at a side table, rose, and looked from the window. “How soon." he said, “the storm has abated! The moon has risen, and a finer night to make a rapid march and surprise a sleeping outpost could not be found.” “I wish it were otherwise,” returned the leader. “And yet their nearest pickets seem far enough away. Go, George, and see that this dispatch be seat forward safely and swiftly. For his messenger's fidelity I hold the land­ lord responsible. Tell him that, and whisper in his ear that the guest ho en­ tertains to-night is------ ” His voice dropped, but a smile of sin­ ister expression told the rest. He glanced at his watch. "Past midnight Come, gentlemen, one more round, end then to bed. We must all be up before daylight, yon know. ” The bottle made its circuit for the last time. George returned after send­ ing off the dispatch, accompanied by tho landlord bearing a candle. He conducted his guests to two largo rooms, opening into each other, on the second floor. Gray Giles and Stacy were to occupy one and tho three strangers the other. There were no other guests fo the house. Where the countryman be­ stowed himself was not then known, but subsequent events explained his absence from tho hotel. No stronger proof of caution and in­ security could be required than the care with which each individual ar­ ranged his clothes and arms. Every weapon was placed in a posi­ tion to be ready for instant use, while tho business of the toilet wav dispensed with altogether, as ail threw them­ selves on tho beds without undrossing. A few words were spoken, through tho open door between tho rooms, und then all was still. v Several hoars passed, and yet the silence was unbroken. Suddenly (tray Giles glided out of bod, and peeped cautiously from tho window. ■ Tho stabie-yard wa* filled with dis­ mounted cavalrymen, and one glance told him they were enemies! He slipped into the next room, and laid his hand softly on the strange leader's arm. In a moment his dark eyas wore turned suspicioasly on tho scout’s as he stooped snd whispered that they were betrayed. . Hg heard tho intelligence without any apparent emotion, slipped quietly from the bed, and looked into the yard below. “Ten, fifteen, twenty—forty fo all," bo muttered. “The odds are great; and we too. cut off from tho stable. Let me think. There's but one way— the front door first, the river after­ ward. There lie* our only hope." Flitting from couch to couch, he awakened his sleeping companions. A finger, pointed toward the window, told its silent tale. In a moment every man was armed and ready for the ooming struggle. All look'd to the mysterious leader for orders, as soldiers to their chief. "In a position like ours,” he eaid, “safety coastals in daring. “Strike bravely, friends; in every blow lies death or freedom. And now for the attempt. In five minutes Wolfe Hickman will be a lifeless corpse, or free as the American eagle!" “And you are that dreaded parttaanz chief?" exclaimed Reub Stacy, quickly. "I am indeed Colonel Wolfe Hick­ man—lie whoso dreaded name has carried terror with it to the boldest enemy of Tennessee; who lived the scourge of the oppressor, and will die, inflicting injury while his hand can hold a sword, and venting his last breath fo curses upon those who have wronged him and hi*!” . They descended the stairs, and drew up aDently behind the front door. AU the bolls save one were quickly withdrawn, and that one Wolfe Hick­ man held. Presently a man approached, struck the door loudly, aud in a peremptory tone demanded instant admission. Never was order more promptly obeyed. The partisan chief removed tho last fastening the door was suddenly thrown open! A discharge from Hick­ man's carbine laid the nearest Con­ federate dead upon tho threshold where he stood; while bounding from hta concealment, like a tiger upon his Burners, the we bold ooia partisan sprang hunters, headlong among a group ot the caval­ rymen, cutting down a trooper right and left, and shouting fo a voice of open road was gained, and the chancesfor escape seemed favorable. But, as it unfortunately turned out, a part only of tho Confederate* had surrounded the hotel, while an equal number remained mounted in the road, some distance away. Surprised, but* nothing daunted, Hickman, Giles, and their companion* fought with desperate .ferocity; and tbe Confederate cry of “Down with the bushwhackers and spies!" waa fiercely answered by the partisans' an­ swering cry of “Death to the enemies of Tennessee!" Tho conflict was now hopeless. Each of the Union men was engaged with three or four troopers, some mounted and some on foot. Reub Stacy saw the commencement of tho fray, but was not fated to wit­ ness its termination. A blow from tbo butt of a carbine stretched him on the ground, and when his senses returned, ho found himself a prisoner and fo the same apartment of tho public house where he had supped the night before. He looked around. The room wa* filled with aoldiers, and the only faces he could recall to memory were the sullen countenances of George Maury and Daniel Dickson, the partisan lead­ er’s companies, who were seated near, bound hand and foot Both had received severe wounds, and their dark' hair, matted with blood, added to their ferocious appear­ ance. “Where is my companion? Where your Colonel ?" asked Stacy. “Escaped 1" returned George Maury, exultantly. “Escaped, my friend. But trust me, you will speedily be rescued, and if our glorious chief is notin time to save u«, he will be fo ample time to take vengeance on our murderers." And it turned out exactly as the young Tennessean predicted. They were rescued. . Smoking Out the Woodchuck. .Prepared by Mary Wbtteksr Bartell, Bell Center. Wi*.] ROM Holly Springs kin’s Mills.

The boys not being fo the best of humor, it perhaps was natural that they should be just fo the spirit to want to demolish something. And. Holly Springs was, in this case, tho point of concentrated mind. The de­ termination seemed to be. and was, to burn the town. After taking posses­ sion, General Crocker expressed his determination to occupy one of the fine residences as headquarters for him­ self and staff. One of the mon re­ marked: “I nave known woodchucks smoked out of hollow trees, and it may be done again.” The General established his head­ quarters just tbe same. Guards were detailed and everything put fo run­ ning order. Soon after dark, howes er, there was some commotion occasioned by the appearance of a bright light springing up here and there st differ­ ent points fo tho town, as if a building was on tire. A guard was at once de­ tailed to discover <who were the perpe­ trators. But the guard discovered nothing, except that the tires increased* and about 2 a. m.

This boy answered to the name of Oscar, and during the fight he was a* cool as a veteran. During the hottest fire he was busily engaged fo passing ammunition to the gunners, and nar­ rowly escaped death when one of the terrific broadsides of the Varuna’s an­ tagonist was poured in. Covered with dirt and begrimed with powder, Oscar was met by Cap­ tain Boggs, who asked where ho waa "To get a passing-box, sir; the other one was smashed by a ball!" And so, throughout the fight, the brave lad held his place and did his duty. When at length the Varuna went down. Captain Boggs missed ins boy, snd thought he was among the victim* of the battle. A few minutes after­ ward he saw the lad gallantly swim­ ming toward the wreck. Clambering on board of the Captain’s boat, he threw his hand up to his forehead, giving the usual salute, and said: •All right, air; I report myself on board."

Front Boston to ’Frisco, ball clubs, both great and small, have begun the race for their respective atuocialion pennant*. The League and American Association season started off with a snap and vim that augurs well for a great season. Chicago opened at Indianapolis and won; Detroit at Pittsburg and lost; New York at WMhincton and won; and Boston al Philadelphia and won. In each city there was a great display of players in uniform, gayly plumed hones, brass bands and street parades^ and although the weather wm cool at almost every point, the attend­ ance was both large and enthusiastic. Chicagoans will not have an opportunity to sec their League teem in a championship game until May 1, but have no fear—judg­ ing from the manner in which they have started in—but they will give a good ac­ count of themselves while absent upon the present trip. The previous week Anson's colt* and the Chicago W’estern Association teams played two exhibition games upon the home ground. Our people thus had an opportunity of seeing both teams,and although the game was au exhibition one, it may truthfully be said Chicago is pleased with the team that will represent her in the League this year. Not only with her league team is she pleased, but with her other team which will play at While Stocking Park while Ansop’s boys are traveling the circuit Sam Morton hu gotten a wonderfully promis­ ing young team together to represent the Garden City in the Western Association circuit and if the balance.Df tho teams in that organization are os likely as the Ma­ roons have shown themselves to be, it will certainly be no fault of the Western Asso­ ciation if ita games are not well patron­ ized. Tour correspondent mol Von Haltren in the grand stand during one of these games, and remarked: “Well, Van. they tell me you surprised Von der Aho's boys at St Louis." "Yes, we made it interesting forthem," was the modest reply. “Going to keep up that kind of work?” “If I can—yes, and I know of no reason why I can't" “Well, old man, Chicago is expecting great things of you this season, now that we have not Clarkson to take us through.” “I shall do the very best that I am cap­ able of,” wa* the Californian's reply. “All I hope is that Chicagoans will not expect more of me than I can perform. One thing they don’t want to forget, however, is that I lack a good deal of being the only pitcher in the team. Baldwin will no doubt do his full share of the work before us, and if I am any judge of a pitcher, this man Krock is going to fool many and many a League batsman this seMon." Krock happened to be pitching in the game in question. I watched Krock'e work carefully last Monday, and believe him to be possessed of the requisites of a good pitcher. He is cool-headed, hu a R«»t deal of speed, and seemed to bo able to put the ball pretty nearly where ho wanted it. He pays scarcely enough attention to bases, how­ ever, and is not quick enough in his action when ho doe* attempt to catch his man. With proper regard for this one point, and a realization of just how important it is that he should Borer his position well, Krock will puzzle the batters and base­ runners of more than one League team. As I was watching Krock, Tom Daly joined us. He is in the pink of condition, and says he feels as though he could catch every day for a month to come. “That fellow behind the bat there is a daisy. Look at him take those balls in as though b» loved them. Ain’t it pretty?" Tom referred to Farrell, the colt catcher whom Aneon thinks so well of, and in truth, he is a good one. Ho is as graceful and easy in his work behind the bat aa is Daly himself, a sure thrower to bases, and a rattling good fielder—both in and out. “How does be bat, Tom?" X asked. “You will just about have a chance to see," replied our crack catcher, as Farrell picked up ^:s etick. There was a man on first, and the score stood 3 to 1 in favor of the Maroon*. “Crack" went the tip of the bat against tho second ball over the plate, and away sailed the sphere straight out over center field on one of the longest home-run journeys ever recorded on the home grounds. Both Farrell and Duffy scored, tieing tho game. “That’s the way he bets,” said Daly, dry­ ly. “Have a cig.r?” Taking them all through. I think Anson bM got together the likeliest sot of plsyers Chicago haa had for two years, and ifthe “old man” and hia boys don't win the dag this year, they will manage to keep the public and the rest of the Lenuue teams guessing right up to the last wook of the race. By the wsy. Tommy Burns tells a good one on "Old Silver* Flint, the veteran catcher of the Chicago team. “A friend of mine who is traveling for a big patent medicine house in Philadel­ phia," said Tommy, “was in town yester­ day and had with him a bundle wf pocket dlctionariea, which his house was giving away as an advertisemenL One of these little very much abridged affairs, you know, with the name ‘Wooster^ Dictionary’ printed on lhe cover.

He does Ibis to shield his eye* from the sun; whan batting be discards them. The Bosion Globe remarks: “Kelly should eatob the young pitchers, as they need eoaobiny. O'Rourke can catch Clarkson, as ho is posted on the League hatsTns" ” It looks M if Getzeln aud Baldwin ar* to b« Detroit’s mainstay this summer. Buatin and Gruber have so far been unable to pitch at a winning gait, even against minor clubs. The New York club has decided to play EwinJ at third base whenever ho is not be­ hind the bat. When Eutog is catching, then Hatfield or Cleveland, probably the former, will cover third.

T was tho late sum­ mer of lb65. The war wua at an ond, so far as the laying down of arms by the grout armies, ' and their dispersioa to their homes could end it There was a chaplain, a kind, gentla-hearted man, who had served three yeara with a Western regiment, and seen much of the suf­ fering that is caused by war. Tho ond -of tho conflict found him sick in the general hospital at Nashville. His regiment had been mustered out two months before, and he now being able to travel, was also mustered out and paid off. There was nothing to pre­ vent his going home immediately, but a thought that just then occurred to him. He had heard much of tho strange people who lived in the moun­ tain districts of Tennessee. He was of an inquiring mind, aud desired to- see and observe for himself. He reflected that *.e was nearer then to that region than he might ever be again, and ho decided to spend two weeks there be­ fore he turned his face homeward. He did so. Thtf things that he saw and heard in those savage places in that time will never be effaced from his memory. Not all his varied ex­ perience in the war could find any­ thing to match them. He is never tired of talking of the experiences of those two weeks. 1 am about to repeat the most striking of the many that he gave me. Ono evening in that August he found himself alone in tho mountains, whose rough slopes, covered with stunted pines and hemlocks, towered above his head. He had left his horse that morn­ ing at a hamlet far down the valley, and had been wandering over the ascents and deep glens alone with a lunch in his pocket. He had met very few human beings; those that ho saw had a wild appearance, both in dress and manner, and ho could with diffi■culty make himself understood by them in his inquiries for the way. When it was almost dark ho fell in with a heavy-faced lad of apparently about fifteen years of age. Ho was clothed in ragged homespun, and car­ ried a long shotgun with a flint-lock on bis shoulder. The chaplain told him that he wanted to find the way back to McGraw's. “O, you cahn’t git thar to-night," was the reply. “Hit’s seven miled, an’ goin’ to be dark as ------- . Fd take you home to granny if I knowed who you was. Who be you, anyway ?" The chaplain told him. “Well, that’ll do, I reckon. We’uns u Union, too. Come, stranger." In a few minutes his guide had con­ ducted him to a shanty in a glen that eeemed to have been located there with e view to hiding it The interior was wretched in ita poverty. Two children, whose sex was not indicated by their dothea. which were made of bagging, were scraping cold grease out of a ekillet and eating it. A blear-eyed crone, withered and ugly, clad in faded •calico and homespun, with a pair of man’s army shoes on her feet wus smoking her pipe vigorously as the Chaplain and his guide approached. “Granny," said the" boy, “here’s a a parson, or suthin, from the Union army. Want's to stay all night Beckon we’d better lot him." “I dunno, stranger. Whit ye doin’ uphyar?" The Chaplain explained as well as he was able; but the absurdity of a man leaving the comforts of Nashville to come up into this wild region, from choice, was evidently something that the crone could not comprehend as possible. “Let the fool stay," was her com­ ment “Mighty poor keep he'll git. Ephraim, thur's bacon an* corn flake, of the brats hasn't eat it up.

He opened the door one mornm’ tar look out • one of the Gilaey’s war bid behind the walk an' shot him right through the heart. I ketched him in my arms, an’ his blood spurted in my face." The Chaplain was too horrified to “Yee; an’ that ain’t all," she contin­ ued, as she rocked heraelf to and fro with her arms wrapped in her apron, and lashed hcraelf into hoarse fury with her own words. “Eph’m hod a brother, three years older. Sech a boy! Ono evenin’ he went down to the spring with the pait I heerd a gun, and I run thar. The pore boy was dead 'fore I got to him, an’ I saw Abe Gilsey sneakin’ off through the woods.” “Oh, I say, Granny," Ephraim spoke up, “man told me to day thet Abe Gilsey'd been seen 'bout Mc­ Graw’s." ..The eyes of the crone gleamed with frenzy. "You. Eph," she cried, "don’t you dare to let him live! Y'ou track him an’ kill him aa you would a dog. Start in the mornin', boy, an’ git his blood." , The chaplain, inexpressibly shocked by what he had beard, was anxious to say something to soften the vengeful fury of these people; but be saw that it would be a hopeless task He learned then that neither the clansmen of Scotland nor the natives of Corsica were more implacable in their revenges than tho mountaineers of Tennes­ see, Alabama and Georgia, brooding over the wanton injuries of war. In the morning, after another break­ fast of bacon and corn bread, Ephraim took his long gun on hia shoulder and said he would show the stranger through tho woods till he got him into the road that led to McGraw’s. The chaplain took out two one dollar green­ backs and tendered them to the old woman. She shifted her tobacco from one cheek to the other and eyed them curiously. “What’s these, stranger? "Greenbacks." “What?“ “The government’s paper money. “Wil! they go at the store?" “Certainly." “I reckon they’re all right, grannv,” said tho boy. “I never see .any befoab, but I’ve heerd tell of ’em. ’’ In an hour the two came out on the road to McGraw's, which was but little better than a path through the forest The chanlain shook hands with his guide and walked on briskly. In about fifteen minutes he heard a loud hail for him to stop. A ragged, unkempt man, clothed partly in homespun and partly in bagging, with a gun on his shoulder, cime out of the woods toward him. “Mornin', stranger!’’ he said. "D’ye knowwhar that old she-devil, Nance Budd, an’ her brats lives?" "May I ask your name?" said the chaplain, with a sudden presentiment. “1 don't mind tellin’you, stranger; I’m Abe Gilsey." They were the last words the man spoke. There was a puff of smoko from a neighboring tr$e, a loud re­ port, and Gilsey sprang up and fell lifeless, his breast filled with buckshot Ephraim Budd came slowly up, load­ ing his gun. “Y'ou have killed him!” the chaplain cried. “Beckon I have.- Ef I hain't I will, soon’s I git this load fixed." The horrified spectator of this scene fled as fast aa he could go. Ho re­ turned to Nashville, camo North, and has not visited the Tennessee mount­ ains since. If he should go there >ow lie would find a far different state of things. He would find that time, which “softens all asperities," has been at work sooth­ ing the passions and the hearts of those rude mountaineers, and teaching them the beauty cf peace and forgiveness and brotherly love. And, after that,’ he would reflect that if such people can forget the bitterness of the war, how foolish, how wicked, it is for the refined and the educated to continue to blow its embers!

All was still; that soul, all unprepared for the great change, had quietly passed “from the repose of sleep to the repose of death." The murderer reflected that he could easily hide every trace of the crime. But as he stood here, where so lately he had talked with Mason Belmont face to face, his eyes rested on an ob­ ject that caused him to tremble with He remembered winding it that morning; that {he had heard ita tick­ ing when he last left thia' room, and that tho hour waa then a few minutes past one. . The hands bad stopped at twenty-six minutes past one. ' It waa as if some unseen hand bad arrested then! to Diark tho moment of the crime. For a moment Bryson cowered to tho wall, gazing at tho tell-tale dial in panic. But cooler reflection dissipated lus fears; almost caused him to smile at them. The shock of, the falling-body— or, more likely, that of tho falling trap­ door—Mui jarred tho clock and caused it to stop. He set the pendulum in motion and moved forward the hands ten minutes. He looked from the window. The night was dark; nothing could be seen. He slightly raised it; there was no C^md but that of the wind in the trees. Tho dread of discovery, that was to Haunt this man henceforth till hia* dy­ ing hopr, now urged him to be sure that his daughter was asleep. Like a guilty creature he went softly Wp-stairs to her chamber, and held the light full before her closed eyes. She did not stir. At that instant Bryson trembled and Shuddered with another thought Should be ever again enjoy a tranquil their nainbvr to Tom Bryson's would > have been Uisatwced. and the crime of that night must have been promptly woverou. But, after a moment of irresolution, Edgar Van Wyck continued hia way home. Had he kept on along the highway^ this narrative would have a spec y end. • A l.glit was burning in tbe widow's I room when he entered the cottage. Ho was about to go to his chamber, when she called to nkn. “Don’t go yet Eddie," she said. ”1 wish to talk with you." He went into her ro -m and sat down. His mother came and stood beside him, and laid her hand lovingly upon his head. . “What is it Edgar?" His eyes were averted, and sought the carpet’at his feet “I have been so frightened to be left alone when that dreadful storm was raging; and I have been anxious ior you. Where have you been ?” He gave a little impatient laugh. “Ov* to Bryson’s.'' “You have been there much lately— haven’t you ?’ He was silent “I think I can guess the truth, my boy. Doyou love that man’s daughter ?" He broke from her caresses; his voice choked. “Love her?—yes, I do. Y’ou might as well know it now. I lovo her—O God!—O mother, how I love her! I can’t live without her. There—now you know all.” He sobbed like a girt Mrs. Van Wyck looked at him pityingly, as a mother might do; and then a look of resignation and of settled purpose camo to her benevolent face. “You say yon cannot live without her. You need not" “Do yon mean that, mother ?" His eyes were full of hope as they looked up to her. “Why should I not? I have soon her; sho is beautiful, and I trust, good. •I wish she had a better father than that sour old laborer; but that can’t be helped. They are poor. I am not rich, bnt I have enough for us three until you can do for yourself. My dear Edgar, I want to keep.you with mo for tho few years that I shall stay here. So I bid you marry as you will; this shall bo a home for both of you; and may God bless you!” She ^jped the tears from her eyes. “Deaf mother—dear, good mother!" His face was radiant aa he put his arms about her neck and kissed her. Presently other thoughts disturbed him. “It’s all well enough,” ho said, “for Jou to say ‘marry her and bring her omo;’ but—but—the fact is, I don’t believe she cares for me." “Aly poor boy! Don’t you know whether she cares for you or not?" “I’ve never asked her." “Has she any other suitor?" sleep? “Poor Jeos!" he said to himself, as ho *eft her. “I’ll take her away from here now, and try to moke her happy." Returning to the cellar, his* first ewe was to break up tho box he had used, and place the fragments in a dis­ tant corner. , With ---ind spado ­he now addressed to the task of concealment With severe labor he raised two of the large stone flags that floored the cellar, and in tbe opening excavated a cavity four feet deep. Into this he threw the deed body, the coat shoes, hat and even the iron bar. He hesi­ tated a moment, and then, rumoring the rolls of money from tho sachel, threw the latter into the hole. The earth was filled in, the stones carefully replaced. The secret was safe. « And now for the money. He took it up to the sittrng-room.*locked the door, spread out the bank-notes upon the table till thev covered it and drawing (A chair beside it gloated over the treasure. His heart bounded with exultation. TJy) misery of life would be over for him and his child. They would go far away, among strangers, and begin a now life. They would surely be hap­ py ; money would do every thing—and here it was—here—right here! In tho wall of this room was a small closet breast high, of which he had the only key. Of late it had not been used at all. Into this secure place he cram­ med tbe rolls of notes, and locked them up. The day still lacked an hour of dawn when he sat down again, with his head and arms on the table. And the mercy of God permitted even him to sleep. ' CHAPTER VIL The cottage of Mrs. Van Wyck, the mother of Edgar, was situated about a mile from Bryson’s house, across tho fields and woods, and almost double that distance around by the lane, the highway, and up tho crossroad. Mrs. Van Wyck had been some years a widow. She had a slender income from the rent of some houses in Ay les worth, left her by her husband, and with the fondness of a doting mother, she had restrained tbe uneasy longings of her boy to leave home and seek h» fortune. He was all that was left to her, and she could not bear to part with him So the lad had grown up, handsome and good-natured, working when he pleased, idling far oftener, and passing much of hia time in the woods with bu dog and gun, or bv the trout-brooks, with his.fishing-tackle. which will presently be noticed. Reaching the point on ths highway where the croos-road turned off that led to the house, after his parting with Mr. Belmont, bis attention was fixed upon something up the road. Perhaps half a mile distant, along the straight highway, he saw the flash- of 11 but id lus assistants, aa weld together the “And you hare never spoken out— not for all thess weeks that you have been going there?" He told her everything: the simple story of a diffident boy, almost dumb before the idolized object of his affec­ tion. The widow listened, and smiled. “My poor, bashful boy, you laust be bolder! Women are.never won in that way. Speak out. and tell her tho truth. Where else could she get a better match, about" hero? You’re young, to be sure; so was your poor father when we were married. You may tell her that your Mio th er con­ sents.” “1’11 see her in the morning, mother. I won’t delay a bit longer. I’m going to know how it is, right off. Your advice is good, and you’re the beat mother that ever a follow had." Tho mother laughed at the boy's "eagerness, and kissing him good-night, she retired to rest Edgar also retired; bnt not for some hours to sleep. Tho brief conversation in the moth­ er’s chamber seemed at once to have made a man of him; tho words of tho kind, indulgent widow had inspired him with new hope and netr confi­ dence. He resolved that he would go over to Bryson’s early in the morning. Ho would go with the traveler to Ayleeworth because ho promised him to do so, and then ne would return and learn his fate. Fatigued, at last, with exulting thoughts and rosy anticipations, ho foil asleep. And still—eot io hio mother—not to any person—had he spoken a word of his adventure of that evening; of his meeting with the traveler, and his guiding him to Bryson’s 1 Thoughts of Jessica, hopes for a bright future with her, had, for the time, driven the events of tho last few hours from his mind. The survivors of the strange events we are recording, looking calmly back upon them from a time ten years later, thought that fate itself worked that night to conceal the dark deed. CHATTER VIII With a start Tom Bryson awoke. It was brood daylight ; the sunbeams were creeping in under tho window curtains. Rapidly his thoughts swept back over the events of the'night. All camo to him in an instant. He grasped the situation; he was hampered by no bed. and said he should go on to the village. Set the table, and I’ll tell you how it happened." He bathed his head and face in water, v bile the girl busied herself in setting the table, 'lhe two sat down to the humble meal. There was a moment’s pause, while they ate and drank. "You don't ask me how that man happened' to leave the house in tho night” he said. Her eyes made the inquiry. elt really? Jess-I'm almost iod to tell you. The fact is, r ordered him to leave." “O, father!" . . “Yea, it's too bad; but it’s too late now to help it” "How did it happen?” “I was in bod humor, os you know. He made some remark about the pov­ erty of this house. That nettled me, aud ' I gave him a hot answer. One word brought on another, and I told him that he must leave. He picked up his sachhl in -a passion and went I looked out of the door after him, and saw him following the lane down to trie highway." She said nothing; her eyes were turned downward. He perceived that his explanation had distressed her. “Well, Jess, don't mind it Some way it’s crept into my head that he might be the agent of some one who claims to own this pro;— know—I have told you—t the house abandoned whe Z thought, perhaps, this num might be 8l»yi®B out things for the owner.

In 1824 th® Democrat or Republican members refused to hold a caucus, and the result was a “scrub race" between His voice trembled; there was Anxiety in his face. "Of course I will, father.

Clarkson, of Des Moines, Iowa, the Chairman of the snb-committee of tho National Repub­ lican Committee, visited Chicago last week, and, after going over tho build­ ing, expressed himself as very much pleased, both with the promising splendor of the great structure and the progress being made. Ho said : “It will bo a magnificent building. It will be the finest convention hall ever erected in this country. A feature in the construction of tho Auditorium and one to which particular attention is being paid is the arrangement of the seats and galleries. They are very much nearer the stage than is usual in the construction of such a large audi­ ence-room. The most distant seat is only 170 feet from the rostrum. This seat will be located in tho upper gal­ lery. There will not bo a poor scat in tbe house, every oue commanding a good now of the stage. There is every prospect that the next National Repub­ lican Convention will lie more comfort­ ably taken care of and better accom­ modated than any previous gathering of the kind. The location of the build­ ing on the lake front, the ‘massive walls, etc., all tend to make the situa­ tion a pleasant one. “The convention hall will be seated with stationary chairs. We will use the theater system in taking care of the people this time. Each seat will be represented by a ticket with a coupon.

You Deacon Lee, everyone said what a good know I am rather particular about what match she had made ; for the Deacon I have to work with, and my way may was an honorable, upright man, pleas­ not be a way you'd like." Now the Deacon rather prided him­ ant, kind and generous; and in addiMon to this, was owner of tho best self on keeping a well-furnished store­ farm for miles around, including a room and good kitchen garden, so he smiled very complacently and replied large piece of woodland. Bo, as everyone thought of him os a that if she was obliged to prepare a He Was a Good Provider. • fl model husband, they never dreamed of attributing tho care-worn look that Eew on Katie’s face to any fault of . l How coaid they, when she. loyal little woman, always spoke of him with so much pride and respect that the village gossips could find nothing of which to complain. Even close-mouthed Jones, tbe gro­ cer, said he “never see so good a pro­ vider m the Deacon was. ” Perhaps, he might have thought differently, if he had heard a few remarks Mary Ann Hoolihan made, when, after working^! Deacon Lee's a couple of weeks, she announced her intention of leaving. “Share it's a good missas ye are, mum, an* every thing is plisant an' foine like around; but mo repititation as cook is what I’d not like to lie los­ ing; there’s many a pla-.-e where the master hM since enough, savin yer prisence, mum! to know it takes wood to build the fire, an’ not say till ye, T guess ye con bo pickin’ up something to last ye the day.’ when iver ye speak of the want of a stick for tho day’s bakin’. But don’t worrit yourself I’ll kind word ye’ve given me. an’ Mary Ann Hoolihan niverill forgit that same. ” And she wm m good as her word. No one but Katie’s half sister, Jessie, suspected that there wm any reason for ner leaving. After that Mrs. Lee did her own York, and . ever complained to the Deacon, who, always finding his meals well'oooked. never inquired how they become so; and, m time rolled on. his confidence in her ability to “pick up some pieces “round the yard* grew so neat it seemed to havo crowded all knowledge of tho use of an axe out of hia head; for, beyond drawing up a lot of old rails, when he put in his new wire fences, he left the getting the wood, m well as building the fires, en­ tirely to Katie. People driving bv admired the wellkept yard, and said to each other what r •very chip and piece of wood picked up —never dreaming bow Katie searched for every stray bit that might make kindling, dodging behind shrubs, or into the house when she saw a carriage approaching, for fear tho occbpanta would see how sho wm employed, and •ensure the Deacon for his neglect “Great things from little causes flow," and so it was that the Deacon owed his reformation to a call made by Jessie and a friend one cold day in apring. Tbe fire got low and Mrs. Lee, excusing henelf for a moment, left the room, leaving her little three-year-old girl in Jessie's care. The child played about the room for a few momenta, then, taking hold of the window-sill with Her chubby hands, raised herself np and looked out “Ma's tuttin wood,” she said, as Jessie looked at her, "she’s tuttin Miss Davis was talking and did not notice; bnt Jessie did. and the words confirmed a suspicion she had had for some time. She found it hard to be entertaining until s.rs.

It was not until afterward he under­ stood the mischievous look in her eyes, m she said: “You moke me that promise, du you?" He answered, "Certainly," readily enough, thinking, meanwhile, of the excellent dinners he had helped to eat that Jessie had prepared. The dinner bell at the farm-house rang out cheerily at a quarter of twelve next day. and the Deacon, with a satisfied look at the amount of work accomplished, threw down Ins rake, and, with his mon, started for the barn. There he lolt them to see to their teams, while he hurried to Katie's room. She was considerably better, and he wm feeling' very glad and grateful. As he lingered with her Jessie’s voice suddenly called him to show the men to the dining-room. It wm very pleasant and cool in the shaded room, suspiciously so; but the Deacon never noticed that; fie led the way to the table, and when all were seated bowed his head reverently; but the blessing he wm about to ask died away on his lips, as his downward glance fell on tho dish in front of him, on which wm tastefully spread the pork-steak he had bought the night be­ fore. and which, the Deacon wm hor­ rified to see. was still raw. Farther down the table wm a dish of early po­ tatoes scraped and washed ready to cook, kept in countenance by plates of unbaked biscuit, dishes of raw, green 1 bo Dvticon gave one hMty glance at Jessie, bat beyond a grave, anxious look in her eyes, her face expressed nothing of her feelings, m she said: *T have done m you asked me, John ; got m good a dinner m I could for your friends with the materials there were here.

You’d better give up." And aa tho Deacon glanced sheepishly around at tho men and saw that, they were all beginning to smile broadly, be said: “I reckon i’ll have to, Ralph, and— and—I do give up." Then he joined in the laugh that fol­ lowed. Before the room was quiet again, Mr. Brooks, pushing back his chair, said: which they accepted tbe prt made the Deacon ashamed of mentary anger. half later, When, an boor and themselves at the thev again seated ther knowledge to Jessie before them all that tho leoson hod been needed snd he would try to profit by it. He did profit by. it; for when, a couple of months later, Mrs. Lee was first able to walk out in the yard, the Deacon, with pardonable pride, took her to see a large, new woodshed, well stocked with hardwood and kindling, telling her m they stood there of the way JoMie got dinner for him, and sorry lie wm that the woodshed had not been built years before. A mile or so from the. Deacon's there is a cozy little house where Jessie cooks dinners for Mr. Brooks, and, to his credit be it said, she hM never been obliged to try tho same experiment with him that she did with her brother­ in-law. From the way Deacon Loe laughs with her and her husband about the way she taught him to keep a supply of wood on hand, it is safe to say ne has forgiven her for tho Reason. CONKLING..

Dear News: We would contribute liberally to get some of our Na*hville-ite« to visit Washington territory, believing that the friction created by coming in con­ tact with the progressive, hustling' methods of thU people would wear •ome of the “mow” oft theif backs and cause them to appreciate tbe capabili­ ties of their own community. We have visited a great many cities in nearly all sections of our common country, but have never observed tbe public spirit, unanimity and perfect confidence in tbe future, that parallels that shown by tl*e citizens of the re­ spective cities of Spokane Falls, Seattle and Tacoma, These places arediaving a mighty boom, the noise of tbe ham­ mer and saw is music in tbe air, and new buildings are being completed every day. We cannot agree with that largo army of jealous “cranks” who are con­ tinually harping against the monopoly of railroads and the franchises granted them. It not only requires capital but bold, scientific ability to construct a railroad like tbe Northern Pacific, and tbe question naturally arises what would this country have been without the Northern Pacific railroad? The amount of inaccessible territory opened up for settlement by the construction of"th is read is simply immense, and it would be utterly impossible to estimate tiie great increase in property values that have taken place all over this coun­ try alnce tbe construction of the rail­ road. Tbe completion of the Northern Pacific railroad was- the great epoch­ making factor in the history of titis country. It is a blessing to tbe land, and its indomitable builders must be set down iu history as public benefactors. CITT OF TACOMA. * WASHINGTON TERRITORY. The territory comprises sixty-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-four square miles, of which it is estimated fifteen million acres are tillable. Tbe eastern portion of the territory is large­ ly prairie land, adapted to tbe raising of grain. The Cascade range of moun­ tains separates the eastern portion of tbe territory from die western, and a little to the west of the center. The western portion of the territory is cov­ ered with a magnificent growth of fir, spruce and cedar timber, and estimat­ ed to have contained, originally, one hundred and sixty billion feet, of which only about three billion feet have as yet been cut out. Every variety of soil can be found in Washington Territory. In tbe south­ eastern portion of tbe territory grapes, peaches and fruits which thrive iu wrrmer countries, are raised successful­ ly and in abundance. In the Yakima and Kittitas valleys, just east of tbe Cascade range, both of which are high­ ly productive under irrigation, im­ mense crops of barlev, grain and vege­ tables are produced. All of tbe coun­ try lying south and east of the Colum­ bia river, clear through to the Rocky mountains, is adapted to raising wheat, the average yield for the acreage now in use being thirty bushels to tbe acre. This region, which is generally* known as the Columbia river basin, and some­ times called the Inland Empire, com­ prises about twenty-five million acres. West of the Cascade range of mountains, are found extensive fertile val­ leys, which yield, under the influence of a moist, mild climate, immense crops of hops, hay and vegetables, and the clay loam uplands, when cleared, yield plentifully of hardy fruits, such as ap pled, pears, prunes, plums, cherries and small fruits. Then there are extensive deposits ot coal, which are believed to extend throughout the Cascade range of mountains, from the extreme north­ ern to the extreme southern boundary of the territory. Tbe coal measures of this field have been opened up, and its minesare now being rapidly developed. Near by have been discovered exten­ sive deposits of iron, copper and mar­ ble. On tbe eastern elope of the Cas­ cade range of mountains, rich mines of gold and silver are being worked, and in the Salmon river district, located in the central part of the northern portion of tbe territory, have been discovered ledges of gold and silver which bid fair to rival in richness, the mines of an Eldorado. On tbe islands of Puget Sound, are extensive lime quarries, which supply, to a large extent, tbe market of tbe Pacific coast. As the resoarcesof the territory become more generally developed, there is found ample justification for tbe statement, that no similar area of tbe United States, or the world, enjoys so much and varied wealth in natural resources as Washington Territory. Tacoma, the chief shipping port of Puget Sound, has a population of 15.­ 000, aud is called the city of destiny. It is the western terminus of the North­ ern Pacific railroad, and its interests are identical with those of this great transcontinental railway. It is located at Commencement Bay on Puget Sound, at the head of navigation for ocean-going vessels. It has a fine har­ bor, which is completely land-locked and piotected from storms. It baa one of the most beautiful and desirable of locations, upon an elevated plateau with abrupt banks, except at the south­ eastern end, where the land slopes down to tbe water's edge. The view of the sound, valley and mountains is one of very great beauty. Mount Tacoma, 14.440feet high, towers above all, white with the eternal snows of winter. It is 50 miles away but it stands forth so clear cut and solitary that it looks as though an hour's walk would take you to its base.

Both are constantly inclined to over­ ride the nghta of tbe people to gain their end and shelter themselves behind irresponsible confederation to avoid punidiment. Herein lies die danger of trust*, brotherhoods and associations. in the course of the lively debate which has taksu place in the senate during tbe lart w*ek on the admission of the‘proposed state of South -Dakota, a good deal of light has l>et-D thrown upon the right of a people of a terri­ tory to demand admission into the union as a state. Tbe discussion has indeed .been conducted with unusual ability and spirit—the chief disputants being Butler of South Carolina and Vest of Missouri, on the part of the democrats, and Spooner of Wisconsin and Edmunds of Vermont, un the part of the republicans; nnd’^est, Butler, and Spooner have particularly distin­ guished themselves. \ Among'the points that wire consid­ ered was this—Whether, under the or­ dinance of 1787, and the treaty with Napoleon whereby tbe United States acquired Louisiana, the people of any portion of tbe north west’ territory and of Louisiana did not have tbe right to organize themselves into a state and to demand admission .into tbe union as such whenever the number of people embarcod within the limits by them set apart for such state amounted to 80,000. This other point was also made, contrary to what is the almost univer­ sal opinion of the country, that Texas has not any right to subdivide her ter­ ritory into any number of states leas than five, and to demand their admis­ sion into tbe union as separate states. It is probable that neither the House Omnibus bill for the admission of Dakota (undivided), Montana, Wash­ ington, and New Mexico, nor the Sep-, ate bill for tbe admission of South-Da­ kota, will become a law before next winter. Tbe senate has, however, passed tbe bill admitting South Dakota, all of the republican senators voting for the bill, and all tbe democrats against it. _________ General Boulanger has had something like a swift “vindication” at the bands of the electors of the Department Du Noid, House of Deputiea by the phe­ nomenal majority of 90,000. He bad been previously elected for Dordogne, which seat he bus resigned. The vindrcation is not, we fear, a wholesome thing for France. Boulanger baa been a disturber iu tbe military regime, for which reason be was placed on the re­ tired list. But no sooner is bis obliga­ tion as a soldier to keep out of active politics removed than .at one bound he becomes the most prominent figure in France. The people seem to believe him, and to have deserted the counsels of the moderate Republicans, in which ‘ the hope and peace of France ore cen­ tered. If Boulanger takes bis seat in the Chamber of Deputies, tjje ship of state will tie in danger of striking on tbe rocks; for the constitution has been seriously weakened, and President Car­ not may be forced to tbe wall by the Mine method that so recently ousted President Grevy. It is altogether an unhappy state of affaire; but perhaps the pood sense of the people, which has served in so many crises, will assert it­ self in time to prevent serious mischief. Only ninety-three statesmen in Con­ gress have thus far expressed a desire to be heard on the tariff , but tbe pro­ bability is that tbe furthest seats back have not been beard from. Tbe Emperor of Germany will soon join bis father. Mortatendurance can­ not mneb longer resist his Inevitable fate. Louis Wyaner, a Saginaw salt block workmen, was terribly scalded by a jet of steam a tew days ago. A pipe broke and the rush of steam knocked him down twice. He will probably die. The body of a man supposed to have l>een frozen was found near Mancelona Saturday. Tbe flesh had been eaten off from his face aud some porta of bis body by wild auimals, and one foot was entirely gone. He had evidently been dead three or four anonths, but was covered up by the snow. Sadie Mitchell, a 16 year-old daugh­ ter of a farmer of Lafayette, Gratiot county, has eloped with a good looking Soong chap, who hxs been living at the litchell farm all winter. “The girl left a note saying : “Tell pa he twitted tue of gadding around and wearing out my shoes, tbe la^ time last week.” A man with a sore arm went into a Grand Rapids drug store recently, and asked what was good for it.

It is a ride of three<narters of an hour from the railway station to the hotels in the center of town, and it is so far to almost gtery place the stranger wants to visit that he has neither the time nor tbe Maength for walking. But he has the ■rooky, that curious vehicle that is Bound nowhere else, and street cars that take him anywhere and every­ where. Only the peasants use the street cars, however, and we were warned against using thorn because of the vermin. The fares arc very cheap—as cheap aa the ferries in New York. One can ride from one end of the city to the other for 10 copecks, and the usual fare io 5—about fl cents, put the droskies SHOP-KEEPER. are quite as cheap when comfort is taken into consideration. 1 was about to take a street car one day to go to a ■hop a mile or so distant from the hotel, when the guide remonstrated and insisted upon a drosky. “But what's tbe use of taking a drosky," I said, "when the cars go right to ths }dace?“It is about as cheap for the two of us,” he replied, and so it was, for the cost of the journey, for two passengers, about a mile, was 9 cents, and wo were hauled by a horse that would sell in New York for $500. In no country in the world are there such cheap, comfortable, and rapid fa­ cilities for city transportation as in Pe­ tersburg, and nowhere cun one find such splendid hones. The drosky is an institution that ought to be introduced into the States. There is one in Washington, owned and used by Mr. Alex. Greger, the Secre­ tary of the Russian Legation, and it is a great curiosity, but they would bo very useful and popular in all our cities, particular! v if they could be drawn by Ruasiarrtiorses. There is as much fascination in riding in a drosky as in a gondola in Venice, and it is the first thing a traveler wants to do when he arrives in Petersburg. He will ■end his bags by the omnibus and go to the hotel in a drosky. It is < low vehicle, the floor being scarcely more than a foot from tho ground, on four wheels not much larger than those of a wheelbarrow—a sort of a minia­ ture victoria. The isbvoshtnik, or driver, aits upon a high perch far above the heads of the passengers, who have a low, narrow, backless seat over the hind wheels. It is not un­ comfortable, but the sensation at first is alarming, particularly when vou are whizzing around a corner, for the drivers always go like mad, and you wish there was something to hold on to. You fasten your hand ou the eeat with a good grip, and cling to yo your fellow-passenger, if you ha one. I should remark, by way of paren­ thesis, that when a gentleman is riding with a lady in Russia, in tho daytime as well as after dark, in the principal thoroughiarcH as well ai in the se­ cluded portions of the parks, he always puts his arm around her waist It is the custom of the country, and makes drosky-riding popular with young peo­ ple—as popular as dancing—and causes no more remark than the attitude of a waltz in a ball-room—every one ex­ pects it A little experience causes the alarm to wear off, and you become accustomed to let your body sway with the motions of the vehicle. I inquired if any one was ever thrown out of a drosky, and waa told tha^ such a thing never happened, and I think it is true, for I have seen men riding in them so drunk that I thought they would top- ■a over the _ next instant, but they The horse that draws you and the i—u. .1. __ HOTEL OMNIBUS. as expressive of all that horses should be, but I never saw such animals alive till I went to Russia. There yon can see a thousand that look just as if they had stepped out of that picture, on any street of the city, every day, many of them harnessed to droskies that you can hire for 45 cents an hour. The isbvoshtnik is always prond of his horse, if he has a good one, and treats him much better than he does his wife. Nearly all the time he is disengaged the ishvoshtnik is either petting or rubbing his horse, and at intervals he brings out a little nose-bag from under the seat, to feed him oats or meat slowly, the driver announces his com­ ing by a shout—a peculiar, prolonged tone like the gondoliers use at Venice. In the winter belts are necessary, for Not one in ten of these charioteers has a home, and not one in ten of these splendid horses knows the inside of a stable They live in the harness, in the open air Kummer and winter, being always on duty, eating when oppor­ THE ISHVOSHTNIK. tunity offers, ana sleeping in their droskies between drives.

Wa- I did not see one during my entire stay in Petersburg, but the ishvoshtnik keeps up a continual one-sided conver­ sation . with his fleet-footed partner, now encouraging him with tender, ca­ ressing epithets; now stinging him with sarcasm and taunts of scorn, and again hurling at the horse profane ex­ pletives. The effect of the driver’s voice is peculiar and powerful, aud an observant rider will be interested in studying this edd relationship. Now the stallion, and only stallions are used, “is precious to the soul" of the ishvoshtnik, or is his “tender dove;" a few momenta later he is accused of be­ ing something entirely different in terms that cannot bo printed here, and the horse seems to understand every word. “Come, pretty pigeon, let go thy legs." "Go! Go! pass the brute beside thee, my sweetheart; let not that worthless wretch kick dirt in thy eyes.” “Go swiftly: my lieauty, and thou shait have more oats than thy eyes have ■eea for a month.” “Thou art lazy to-day, thou son of my heart; wilt thou freeze in thy tracks , here, starveling?" “Look out for that stone there, little father; carefully, carefully; this road was not made for the Czar. ” “What dost thou with thine eyes, acenrsed thing? Thy mother’s colt ought not to run in holes like that one." “Now speed thee, oh, kitten! for the passenger has promised me a ruble if I thou makest haste I" This sort of taunts and pet phrases A TABANTAH. ter-tronghs are erected at intervals, small packages of hay, oats and meal are sold ai the i^hops along the wayaide, and the ishvoshtnik gets his coffee and his meat at tho same places, feed­ ing, as he lives, with his horse. Both horses and masters seem never to tire, both are always on the alert, tbe dri­ vers are always cheerful and good-na­ tured, and tho horses always ready to ■tart off Like a whirlwind as aoon as they get the word. Neither seems to care for the cold or rain, and the one is about as much an animal aa the other. The harness of the horse is aa light aa leather can be made, none of the straps being more than half an inch in width, and most of them are round, not larger than a lead pencil. There is no breechen, because there are no grades in Petersburg; the country is perfectly loveL There are no blinders on tho bridle, for the horse fears noth­ ing; he will walk up to a locomotive with as much indifference as his mastied, never runs away, but is perfectly obedient to tbe voice of his mauler.

Travelers in tbe country where there are no railways usually prefer to make use of the imperial post service, which exists upon the principal lines of communication, and will furnish re­ lays of hotses at intervals of twenty or thirty miles. In order to obtain them, one must secure from the postal au­ thorities a “podorozhnaya”—a formid­ able-looking document, which directs whom it may concern to assist the bearer on his way, to furnish him promptly with a certain numbed of noraesj from certain pointa to certain •points, for a certain price named, and must be paid in advance at- the-respec­ tive road station. The “podorozhnaya" costa a considerable sum itself, which is devoted to tbe repair of the roads. Armed with these credentials the trav­ eler applies to the nearest post station for a postilion, horsu, and a vehicle known as a “tarantas,” a sort of over­ grown drosky. heavily and strongly made, with .exceedingly stiff springs, and a general condition of discomfort Sometimes the horses are very fine and fast; sometimes they are only or­ dinary, but their appearance is no test of their speed, for I have seen the most “ornary”-looking brutes gallop over a distance of twenty miles in two hours and I a half without turning a hair. Usually they are driven three abreast, but often when the passenger is in a burry, or the roads are bad, or the distance is great, four or even five are harnessed abreast There is no tongue, or pole, but only a pair of thills, no matter how many horses. One is hitched in the thills and does the FELDSHER. steering; two others are fastened to the axle or the whiflletrees, and their heads are kept together by straps. Very seldom do they trot, but com­ monly go at a gallop mile a(ter mile. In the winter months traveling is much more agreeable, notwithstanding the cold. The sledges are much more comfortable than the wheeled vehicles, aud one can sleep in a nest of furs that is provided for >him. Passengers are often frost bitten, but a Russian thinks no more of such an accident than of a mosquito bile. The latter would prob­ ably annoy him the more. He does not go to a fire to warm when frost-bitten but rubs tbe part with 'snow until the friction thaws it out, and no discomfort follows. But tbe native* of all classes are cap­ able of enduring an almost incredible amount of heat and cold. They dress warmly in furs and flannels, but even such garments would not reconcile an ordinary man or woman to a tempera­ ture which sends the mercury down to thirty or forty degrees below zero, day after day aud week after week, almost continuously from November till ApriL The Russian peasant is frequently al­ luded to aa first cousin to the polar bear, and his habits and endurance ^seem to establish tbe relationship.

She usually treats the women and chil­ dren, while tho "Feldsher" treats the men. In addition to the exercise of sorcery, and the practice of the heal­ ing arts, she is also useful in negotiat­ ing marriages among tho peasants. In her cspacitv of confidential friend and gossip she knows what hearts are loose and may be-tied together. If a maiden loves a young mujik, she confides in the “Znakharka," who endeavors to bring them together, and the young mujiks often seek her mediation when the maidens of the village are indiffer­ ent to their attentions. Poor Old Arkansas. Half a century ago, while tbe first Legislature elected in Arkansas after she was admitted into the Union was in session, an affray occurred on tho floor of the House of Representatives be­ tween CoL John Wilson, the Speaker of tho House, and a member named Anthony, in which the latter was killed. The weapon used by Speaker Wilson on that occasion was a bowie-knife, and from that day to this Arkansas has borne a bard name in the North, and by many has been called the “Bowie Knife State.” But notwithstanding the handicapping under which she has been compelled to move in tbe-race of progress, she bids fair to outstrip near­ ly all the Southern States before an­ other decade. George Russ Brown, of tho Little Rock Gaiette, at a press banquet in Memphis the other day, responded to the toast “.■Lrkansas,’* and in the course of his remarks told some things and gave some statistics touching his State which may prove of interest, if not of value, to people who may be contemplating the seeking of homes farther South: "iVohavea State 200 miles across from north to south, and we raise every product known to the temperate zone and supply semi-tjppical fruits in abundance. Of strawberries and meions we run special train loads to tbe markets of the North. Prior to 1872 we were practically without railroads, and now the State is gridironed with them, and we have more miles of nav­ igable river than any other State— 1.000 miles. Tho resources are greater than any other section of territory of equal area on the face of the globe. Can you find another State where fifty-eight out of eoventy-five counties bear manfaduring minerals? Can you find an­ other State whose long staple cotton wins the big premium wherever shown and whose fruits are awarded fir»t prizes in such rapid succession ? “ W here is there auotlrer State show­ ing eighty different varieties of timber and square miles of heavily tim­ bered land ? And we are erecting one new wood-Working establishment every ten days. And, by the way, Arkansas produces more cotton per acre than any other Southern State. Poor old Arkansas!

Arkansas is becoming en­ lightened!" being frightened ing to his relief, he slipped .out into the room, and flew wildly about till be hit something aud fell to the floor. He was picked up.and his fright culminated in a dead faint Tbe little bead droop­ ed, the body was limp, apparently, per­ fectly lifeless, and be was laid m his cage ready to be buried in tbe morning. He was placed carefully on the breast, however, and in a few momenta he hopped upon bis perch, shook out his rutiled feathers, and composed himself to sleep. One feat sometimes ascribed to man is in the case of birtfe a literal fact— they can sleep with one eye open. Thia curious habit I have watched closely, aud I find it common in nearly all the varieties I have been able to observe. One eye will close sleepily, shut tight and appear to enjoy a good nap, while tbe other is wide awake as ever. It ia not always the eye toward the light that sleeps, nor invariably the one from the light The presence or ab­ sence of people makes no difference. I have even had a bird stand on my arm or knee, draw up one leg, and seem to sleep soundly with one eye, while the other was wide open. In several years’ close attention 1 have been unable to find any cause either in the position or the surrounding? for this strange habit. No “set old woman” is more wedded to her accustomed “ways" -than are birds in general to theirs. Their hours for eating, napping and singing are aa regular as ours. So, likewise, are their habits in regard to alighting places, even the very twig they select. After a week’s acquaintance with the habits of a bird, I can always tell when some­ thing disturbing has occurred, by the place in which he is found. One bird will make the desk bis favorite haunt, and freely visit .tables, the rounds of chairs, and tbe floor, while another confines himself to the backs of chairs, the tops of cages and picture frames. One hermit thrush frequented the bureau, and looking-glass frame, and the top of a cardboard map which had warped around till the upper edge was almost circular. On this edge he would perch for hours, and twitter and call, but no other bird ever approached it. Still another would always select the door casing and window cornices. Everv bird has his chosen place for the night, usually the highest place on the darkest side of the cage. They s6on become accustomed to the situation of dishes in their cages, and plainly resent aiiy change. On my placing a drink­ ing-cup in a new part of the cardinal’s residence, he camo down at once, scold­ ing violently, pretended to drink, then looked over to the corner where tbe water used to be, and renewed his pro­ testations. Then he returned to the upper perch, flirting his tail and ex£ressing his mind with great vigor. A >w minutes passed, and he repeated the performance, keeping it up with great excitement until, to pacify him, 1 replaced the cup. He at once retired to his usual seat, smoothed his rough­ ened plumage, and in a few momenta began to sing. A drees of a new color on their mistress makes great commo­ tion among these close observers, and the moving, about of furniture puts the tamest one in a panic.—Atlantic. Making Her Attractive.

Edgar wm silent; this continued as­ sertion of ignorance about the traveler had begun to alarm him. “I hope ho found his way to the village; but the night wm dark, he could not get directions, and be may have wandered off there to the Groat South Woods, and lost himself in the swamp, os 1 have heard happened onoe.

One wm tbe. Sheriff of the county; two were his deputies; another wm a migistrate; the last wm a tall, broad­ shouldered young man of twenty-five, with dark hair and eyes, handsome features, aud with that easy grace in the saddle that showed familiarity with athletic exercises. . The Sheriff spoke, addressing his re­ marks to this person: “We have now, Mr. Belmont, exam­ ined every house near the highway be­ tween the village and the spot where the stage broke down. Up this lane is an old place that I have been saving for the thorough search that I think we should give it. We will rule slowly along, while 1 tell you something of its occupants." . The son ot the missing man, deeply interested in the search that had thus far battled every effort, reined his horse by the side of tho Sheriff's, and the two led the way in a walk. “In brief, the place we are about to visit is an old house occupied by a man named Bryson, and his daughter. They have been there for some years. Where they camo from no one knows. Tho girl is handsome, bnt sad, and has few acquaintances. They aay she is intelligent, and somewhat educated, and appears m though she had occu.pied a good position in life. Her father is a surly, withered old fellow, who repulsee everybody that tries to be friendly with him. Re is a misanthrope; that is the truth. He is a common la­ borer. About all that ia known of these people is, that he is a crabbed fellow, and that his daughter is hand­ some and distant “I am sorry,” said Randall Belmont, “if we must disturb a lady with this disagreeable business. Is this man one who would naturally be ouspected ot anything criminal “No, I think not I never heard of any charge' being made against him. How is it?” And he turned and repeat­ ed the question to those following. They agreed with him. UThc party drew up before the house just as Bryson wan returned from his work. The tremendous .strain under which this man had been laboring for the last two months had made him reetleM at his labor, and he frequently shortened its hours. It happened so on this evening. The Sheriff explained tho object of the visit, and curtly told him that he had the necessary warrant, and that the whole house must be searched. Bryson had been expecting and pre­ paring for this visit. He had deter­ mined that, -when it should be made, he would simply act out his own char­ acter, m tho most natural thing for a man to do Who was innocent of any wrong. So. ho snarled at his visitors for their intrusion, and complained of the indignity about to be offered, till proteste were cut short by a per­ emptory command to load the way into tbe house. On* of the officers remained outside with Hie horses; all the others went in. Bryson led the way up the creaking stairs, along broken and dangerous floors, through cobwebbed and dusty halls, and room after room, vacant, cheerless, and in decay. • “What’s in here?" the Sheriff de­ manded, stopping before the only closed door in this upper part. “My daughter’s room,” said Bryson. “Well see," one of the officers re­ joined, giving a loud knook upon it “Hold 1" Randall Belmont exclaimed. The door wm opened from the in­ side; Jessica appeared in the doorway. “O, yon are brave men, indeed!" sneered Bryson. “Search a lady’s chamber, would you, for the missing man) Is there any new insult that you’d like to put upon us?" Young Belmont wm surprised by the unexpected virion that had appeared to tho party. He paid no heed to the rasping words of the father, but took off nis hat respectfully to Jessica. searching the house, m we have to search ail houses about hare; but I did not mean that you should be disturb­ ed. Let ns go on, Mr. Wsrdweli." She bowed slightly, and closed tho door. As the party descended the stairs, he detained the Sheriff a moment “Is it possible," he asked, “that the beautiful creature wo have just seen can be the child of that spiteful cur­ mudgeon?” “80 they My.

L. Maxwell, Gen. Pass. and Tk’t Ag’t Oregon Railway and Navigation Co., who presented us with a bit of paste-board, according us certain transportation privileges, and were advised to take a boat ride up tbe Columbia river, consequently early one morning, accompanied by tbe Colonel and bis ever present artillery (wbich had been hungering after Rocky Moun­ tain lion ever since we left Dakota, and was not yet satisfied) we took passage on the steamer Dixie Thompson, bound for the Cascades. Tbe mate shouts: “loose your st’arn line.”—“haul in yer breast line.”—“let go yer head line all of wbich commands were promptly obeyed with an “aye! aye! sir,” and tbe trip is begun. We steam 12 miles down the Willa­ mette 'ere we strike the broad Colum­ bia. We soon pass Vancouver (head­ quarters of our western army.) The river is several miles broad, and tho scenery tame for a score or more miles. A railroad skirts closely the water’s edge; a passing train resembles a toy and a tunnel a mere hole in the rock. The upper Cascades have a fall of about twenty feet tn a third of a mile, and the rapids some eighteen feet de­ scent in five miles. Our view takes in the whole of the upper Cascades, and the scene is one‘of imposing grandner. We are now at a point where the mighty Columbia pierces the very lieart of-the Cascade mountains, in its rush to th e sea.

The Oneonta falls are fully as lovely but do not have the descent. THE SALMON INDUSTRY. As we approach tbe Cascades we no­ tice two large establishments upon our right which do a mammoth business canning salmon, and numerous fish wheels, an ingenious contrivance by means of which tbe water not only fur­ nishes tbe fish but does tbe fishing. THE FISH WHEEL Is located in acurrentat the aide of the river or rear of a flat boat, and is sim­ ply a water wheel with screen wiie scoops, and as it revolves it literally scoops up tbe fish and deposits them io the receiving bin. Salmon weighing 00 to 60 pounds are thus taken in. We were informed that a “catch” of four tons had been made recently by one wheel in 24 hours; but as high a catch as nine tons has been made in a single night. As salmon finds a ready market at tbe canneries at from three to five cents per lb., it will be observed that a fish wheel is a money-making concern. Tbe salmon season commences April 1st and closes July 81su Tbe season reaches its greatest product io July, when the river is at its height, and sal mon run up stream in mighty shoals. But the fish wheels of tbe cascades and dales, together with the acres of nets at the mouth of tbe Columbia will event­ ually rob the river of its wealth of salmon, unless congress restricts their EATON COUNTY.

BY -THE MAJOR.* CHAPTER XI—CojfvrcuED “Where can I have seen her before?” he mused. "Such faces are ruroenough; this one seems familiar to me. ” Often, indeed, had he seen that face, aa the face of a child, in past rears, at the stately home of Newland Wendell, and at his own father’s house, in tbe distant city; bnt the lapse of time and her present surroundings prevented his identifying her. She appeared to him now as an indefinite memory out of the past; and she made an instant impression on him. Five minutes be­ fore he had no thought for anything but to prosecute the search by which ho hoped to solve the mystery of his father’s disappearance; now a ■disturbing influence bad suddenly ap­ peared, and he walked along mechan­ ically with the others, his thoughts all in another part of the house. But the'zeal of tbe officers suffered no abatement. They pushed into every part of the first floor, examining the rooms that were dismantled and vacant, as well as the others. In look­ ing about Bryson’s bedroom, one of them noticed an iron ring on the un­ carpeted floor. . “Hol—what’s this?" he asked, lifting up “the trap. The others gathered about and raised it to its full height The damp, musty odor of the cellar camo up from the darkness beneath. “What’s this for?’’ the Sheriff asked. “I know as little about it as you do,” Bryson replied. "I found it here, and have never used it There’s a cellar below, that we've hardly, used at all. When I do use it I go down the stairs; bv| you can jump into the hole, if it «uits you any better.” The Sheriff walked apart a little with Randall Belmont and whispered to him. • “Mr. Atkins,” he said to his deputy, “you will remain here in charge of this man, while we investigate below.” If the cunning Mr. Wardwell ex­ pected that this ruse would cause Bry­ son to betray any alarm, ho was mis­ taken. His object was perfectly under­ stood, and the face ana demeanor of Bryson did not change in tbe least Lighting the lanterns that they had provided, the Sheriff; the magistrate, and tho young man went down the cel­ lar-stairs. “He didn’t flinch nor weaken a bit" remarked Belmont” “No," said the Sheriff. “It looks as though we should get no clue here. But we’ll go on and search thor- In charge of the officer in his own bed-room, Bryson heard tbe move­ ments of the paity below. He heard . them directly underneath, and then farther off; and then a sound came faintly up to him that tried all his It was the noise of rapping on the flagging with a heavy stick Bat the man did not quail. He knew that the officer understood the object of his last move, and that he was close­ ly watching Sim. He braood himself aud stood the test But none may know the torrents of dread that the secret murderer suffered in those momenta. In fifteen minutes the party came up again. “Bryson," said the Sheriff, “it is fair to inform you that we have found noth­ ing in your house that would contra­ dict tho assertion you have often made, will tell you that a little bettor treat­ ment of officers who are only doing their duty would do yon no harm. Be ■till, sir!—don’t answer me. If I hoar anything more crooked from you.

As ho passed the stairway, Jessica, supposing tho party hsd gone, was just descend­ ing. CHAPTER XU. She stopped as she saw him; he in­ stantly came forward. “I hope you have pardoned our in­ trusion, Mias," he said. “It was an awkward mistake of the officer, for which I am very sorry."“There waa do offense,’’ she replied. He looked up at her face aa she stood above him on the stair*. It was calm, pensive, beautiful—almost without ex­ pression. She seemed in that moment « statue rather than a woman.

Our loss was four killed, including Captain Dunn, in lommaud of an independent scout­ ing company, and throe wounded. The Federal loss in killed is not known, and only throe or four were wounded amongst those surrendered, and none of them seriously. The wounded pris­ oner* were paroled on the field. The commissary stores, with transporta­ tion,- of course fell into our hands, and tbo men did not wait for a distribution of rations bnt immediately commenced cooking food, as we hud hud nothing but “jerked beef" for several days—ana hurriedly jerked, too. To get a good meal one* more caused general content, and the usual banter of camp life was resumed in as lively a manner as ever. This skirmish occuired on the 25th of June, 1864. After destroying what we did not feel like taking with us, we commenced our return march. Tbe Federal prisoners were marched on foot, but as a heavy rain fell about twelve o’clock, it made the waxy soil stick so to their feet that it was next to impossible to proceed, and we went into camp. Th* next day the more in­ firm were taken up behind tboee who wore beet mounted snd wc made better time. Several days were spend on the return, but we did not trust to guides. In July Colonel Ford moved his whole force down the river, but met no resistance until right on the thresh­ old of Brownsville, or Fort Brown. Her* wo encountered cavalry outposts, and would have occasional picket skir­ mishes. About tho first of August we could see preparation* going oc for the evacuation of the place by the Federal force, which waa variously estimated at from fifteen* down to three thousand men. On tho third th* Federal* moved down the river towsrd Point Isabel, and on the fourth the Confederate force entered Brownsville with great rejoic­ ing. The Federal* continued on down to the coast and occupied the island of Brazos de Santiago. There was gen­ eral satisfaction with our bloodless victory. Our occupation of this point was of great pecuniary importance to th© whole Confederacy. It opened a way for the shipment of thousand* of bales of cotton daily into Mexico, Mat­ amoras being, for the time, the great cotton market of America. Compresses wet* erected by English and Yankees, and did a -thriving business until tho close of the war. The mass of cotton was shipped by the Confederate Government Private patties also sent cotton through, but tho Confederate authorities exacted half for protection and safe delivery. By this means there was also a contin­ ued return of supplies back into the Confederacy, purchased from the sales of cotton, or exchanged for it And this was the only reason we could see for tho evacuation of Brownsville, that of allowing cotton to cross the border so aa to get into the markets of the world. A great many Federal army officers probably had friends and rela­ tive* engaged in cotton buying or cot­ ton manufacturing, and no doubt a Si'SS-l'S I and discharged on account ot some disability, and boys and young men under twenty years of age. Colonel Ford established his headquarters at Fort Duncan, near Eagle Pass, and within a few weeks concentrated the different commands of his force at that point During the stay at Fort Duncan tho Comanchea mode a raid through the border for plunder and destruc­ tion, which was mot and repulsed by a part of tho force with a small loss. After about a fortnight spent in col­ lecting supplies, which mostly came from Mexico, preparations were msdo to move down the river. In order to be as expeditious as possible, it was necessary to employ a guide to lead the column by the nearest route to Ringgold Barracks. From the uncer­ tain condition of thiffga, trustworthy and oompetent guides were next to im­ possible to be had. However, the best we could find was employed, and ha was so incompetent Jhst for two days the whole foroe was lost, and* worst of all, without water. To the reader who is unacquainted with this “dry belt" of country, it is best to say that for the greatest part of the year river and creek beds are dry and dusty, appearing like a geological transition now in progress. Often for dsys tho traveler will continue his journey without seeing either water or moisture of soil, and any neglect to provide sufficient water is punished -with intense suffering. The thirst is mor* parching on account of tha drynew of the atmosphere, for during the ■r i ■ the extreme dryness causes a rapid evaporation of moisture from the sur­ face of tbe body.

At a meeting of the directors of the Battle Creek A Bay City railroad at the Hudson House, Lansing, Mich., on the 17th, it waa decided to accept (with some alight amendments) the proposi­ tion of Mr, J. J. Burns, of Belle Plain, Kansas, representing an Eastern syn­ dicate, and a conditional contract was made with him for the building and equipping of the entire line from Bay City to Battle Creek, twenty five miles in a northerly direction from Battle Creek to be built by Dec. 81at, 1888, and the balance of the line to be built by Dec. 81st, 1889, conditional that the pro­ per aid be given Mr. Burns along the line. . Mr. Burns has recently* finished con­ struction contracts for seven hundred miles of railroad in Kansas and Colo­ rado. and though but a young man has railroad construction ability of a high order, and is backed up by wealthy eastern capitalists. The proposition in all its details is a very favorable one for the company, and the people of Barry county should stand ready and willing to assist thia company, not only in bonus aid and right of wsy, but with the friendly sympathy that every build­ er of a great public benefit and improve­ ment should receive.

NO DULL DAYS SPECIAL ATTRACTIONS Beautiful for aitoalion ia Seattle, the metropolis of Waabingtou Territory, tbe Queen City of the northwest. Lo­ cated centrally upon the east aide of Puget Sound, she rises like a queen from the waters, in successive terraces to an altitude that commands an imporing view of tbe surrounding scenery. It is admirably located, not only for magnificent view, but perfect drainage. CREfiCKNT-BHAl*KD CITT From the deck of e steamer i* grand, but a view* from the city heights, taking in the sound, with it* steamers, wooded shore*. Lake Washington, tlie Olympic range and Cascade moun­ tain* is magnificent beyond description. Seattle ha* a present population of 15,000 to 30,000, which is rapidly increas­ ing, and possesses advantage* which cannot fail to make her a great city. In the first place her location is admir­ able and climate delightful. She faces salt wateron the west, ’whilst on the east of her is the beautiful Lake Wash­ ington at asufflcienQaltitude to furnish clear, cold water to a large portion of tbe city. HKR HARBOR Is one of the best in the world, to which the largest ocean vessels can find un­ obstructed entrance. Seattle, it is said, is headquarters for nearly eighty •teamboats engaged in coastwise and Sound trade, and in her sate and beau­ tiful harbor can almost always be seen ■ea-going ships from China, Japan, Australia and Europe. Tbe export busines of the Puget Sound district in 1887 was 743 cargoes, valued at $13,820,513, of which over one-third was shipped from Seattle alone. It haa the North­ ern Pacific,^Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern, Seattle &. Bellingham Bay and Columbia Z A| Puget Sound railroads, and prospects for connection with the Canadian Pacific and Union Pacific lines. There are teu immense saw tuill., numerous manufactories, street cars, a cable road building, electric lights, telephone exchange, three dai!y newspaper* and excellent school and church privileges. LAKE WASHINGTON, a beautiful body of water, about 30 miles loog by an average of four in width, forms the eastern boundary of Ute city. It is much higher than the sound, amt its water* find an outlet through Lake Union in tbe northern subu bs of the city, to the Sound. These lakes are connected to the Sound by a small cana>, and it is tbe firm be­ lief of the Seattle people that the governmeut will, at some future day, en­ large this canal and construct lock* to admit war ahipe to Lake Waahingtou, where a navy yard could be eatabliahed in fresh water that would be complete­ ly protected by its inland situation. THE PRODUCTS Of King county, of which Seattle is the capital, for the year 1884 amounted to $8,535,000. Of tbe 350,000 acres of ag­ ricultural laud in the county, only 6,000 an under cultivation. These produced crop* worth $760,000 for 1884, from which au idea may be obtained of tbe enormous value of the agricultural pro­ ducts of this county when all of its ag­ ricultural lands shall be under cultiva­ tion. Other more important resources of the county are timber, coal, iron, marble and gypsum. The shipment of coal last year was 385,167 tons, and tbe cut of rough and dressed lumber was 134.000,000 feet. The resource* of this county are vast in extent, and as yet are merely in their infancy. Tbe bituminous coal field, the marble and the iron have not been touched yet The various industries are farming, mining, lumbering, ship building, manutacturtng. fish canning, brick-makiug and other*. Tbe land is very fertile, especially that' in the Talleys, and yields prodigiously. Four tons of hay to the acre, 3,000 pound* of bops, 000 bushel* of potatoes, 109 bushels of oat* to the acre are common. It ia by such country tliat Seattle is surrounded; and it is not only sutjounded by good land, but also by navigable waters. Good farming land in King county is purchasable at from $5 to $200 per acre, acooiding to improvement, quality and location. The early extension of tbe Seattle, Lske Shore A Eaatern railroad into tbe big bend country, or central Washington, will open up a new section of country, which will be tributary to Seattle.

Wc refrain at thi* time aatlafactlon of tbe court beyond a reasonable doubt that the aaalgnment waa made In good faith and-there are no circumstance* showing fraud, tbe assignment will be legal and thcre- did not And the school fa a prospering condi­ tion, but by strictly attending to hla duties aa teacher he basin less than a year brought the standing of the school up to a point that not only reflect* great credit upon the school, but also show* tbe people of this village that as a teacher the profe**or I* a success. The term for which be eras hired Is fast aoproaebing an end, and It would be well for our school board to again engage him before It Is too late, as we cannot aflonl to experiment with teachers whom we do not know. The professor has al­ so purchased a lot and baa* the material for a handsome new dwelling house already on the ground, And I* therefore soon to be identified with th? growth and prosperity of the village, another good reason why be would take more Interest In our school than a stranger, whose main interest would be hls Wages. Tbe profes­ sor Is fully qualified, has a way to govern the children peculiarly hls own, aud we see no rea­ son for a change. People who are In the habit of rating tbe financial standing of people from tbe srnount of personal property they have around them and apparently own, should be put upon tbeir guard to Investigate three distinct causes, neither of which are found upon record, and •Uber of which, It Is claimed under our exist­ ing laws, places the ownership of the propertv In other parties hand* than those to whom from all outward appearances should be tbe right­ ful owner. And when It beromes known that nowhere can be found any recorded evidence, In places where such evidence should be found, viz, in the township clerk's office, In the town­ ship where such parties reside, you will sec at a glance that should you attempt to collect •ither by an attachment or execution from auch a person, you ruu a risk of having the property rspleviucd by a person whom you never thought of claiming the property, by some oue or other ot these blind Instruments, the nature of which I shall fully explain a* I go along. For Instance a man and woman live together upon the same farm, the woman holding the deed and the man doing all tbe buiioew*; buying and selling per­ sonal property lu bis own name, giving hls in­ dividual note for personal property, taking II upon tile farm and never saying to any person, •‘this personal property belongs to my wile, and I simply act as her agent,” but goes on for years accumulating personal property until such a time when from financial embarrassinefit the property ia levied upon by an execution. Tten for the first time the world Is Riven to un­ derstand that the property on that farm belongs to his wife, who, under tbe advise of her coun­ sel replevin* the same, and you are left out in tbe cold. It may be all right but seuiible mtn think there should be a change In such tactics. Another good Illustration I* this: A young, man having no particular trade orcalllng which the law would justify him In holding as exempt property a horse and carriage, becomes indebt­ ed to a party, who, after using all tbe moral suasion al hi* command, i« compelled to recurl to law. Tbe young man In question has a fine horse and buggy In his poaaeMion, which he claims as hla own, and which tbe law does not exempt Our friend, after be has obtained judgment, goes to tbe towntblp clerk's office in the township where the young man resides and finding no incumbrance upon raid horse and buggy, forthwith goes to the justice and get* an execution and levies upon said proper­ ty. Everything goes lovely until np comes a party from some neighboring town and claims to be the owner of said property by virtue cl a promissory note., with an Iron clad clause st follows: "Tbe express conditiont aud sale of Dolson buggy, by Richard Roe to John Doe, is that the title and ownership of raid atore de­ scribed property does not pass out of the hands of the aald Richard Roe until said above note and Interest la paid In fall; said Richard Roe also reserves the right at any time to take such property and reduce It to hla possession even belore the maturity of aald note. Of course you are taken a little by surprise, and you go for council, and then you find out for the flrat time that aa the young man never owned tbe property your execution could not reach It. A grin a young man starts Into basinets. To all appearances he is making a aueeeaaful run of It, and be cornea to you for credit. He has gathered around him personal p^perty double of that allowed by law as exempt. You trust him, aud afters time bls obligation becomes due, and he either can not or does not pay. You bring suit and get judgment; like the other party referred to you Investigate tbe clerk’s records aud finding nothing there you go to the Justice, get an execution, place lb in the officer’s handiJ, and levy upon all tbe per­ sonal property found tn the parties' possession. The officer appoints 2 appraisers who appraise the property, and the young man 1* asked to take out hl* exemptions which be refuses to do. the legality of the assignment. Of course If you ean prove by circumstantial evidence that thgrc baa been a connivance between the par­ ties \o defraud yoa out of yoar claim, you can What we told you about Shoes in our laa>advertisement. breakdown tbeassignment. Now as business men 4(e appeal to you before the next legtola tore sit* to get up a petition long enough to reach to the capital, Dray I ng our legislature to amend our laws and make it Imperative for every person to file with tbe township clerk every claim be baa upon the property of an­ other, or else to oblige him to take such pro­ perty Into bls possession so that ths world at large when they see a man bare anything can find out to a certainty just who It Belongs to. Something that will ensure safety to those who give credlt'to parties who are not owners of laboring men who have nothing but personal property will be refused credit, and thus will one dishonest person subject a hundred honest persons to live In a community unable to pro­ cure tbe tnceaaariea of life unless they have tbe ready cash to put up for IL Thia la not an Im magi nary ghost set up to frighten timid peo­ ple, but a simple recitation of facta as they have been brought to my view by a chain of cireumstancea, which, had I aubatltotcd names would have been well known lu this vicinity.

On one side of tho Winter Palace of Petersburg is the Neva River, so close that one could throw a stone from any of the windows into the waler, and on the other aide a somi-circlo of vast and Miy roccoco palaces, surrounding an . enormous parade ground, in which fifty thousand troops have been maneuvered and inspected st one time. The pal­ aces are imposing only because of their immensity, there bjmg a dozen or more of them with several hundred rooms each, all built by the Czars at one time or another for themselves or tbeir poor relations, and now occupied by government oifices or for the qnar* tera of troops. The city is reached through an enormous arch, similar to the Arc de Triomph in Paris, although not so Jr go, and surmounted with a bronze c . lot and a lot of prancing chargers Lvorito model in all the capitals of Lurbpe. It was to this parade ground that the great Catherine came from the Winter Palace when she led tho revoIvjion against her husband, and sword in nand, straddling her horse like a man, demanded the allegiance and sup­ port of the mob. “I am your Queen."she said. “Who­ ever obeys me shall be loved as a loyal subject ’ Whoever refuses shall die like a dog.” Catherine was one of the vainest, most extravagant, most licentious of women, without a doubt. Sho had forty lovers with whom she lived as publicly as if tho relations had been sanctioned by marriage, had children by seventeen of them aa she herself claimed, and founded an order of no­ bility for the classification of her ille­ gitimate heirs and their posterity, of whom she was very proud. It is said that she built, at the government ex­ pense. and gave to her favorites more than a dozen palaces, and distributed among them 92,000.000 rubles of pub­ lic funds. When one of her paramours died, as was several times the case, sho went into mourning for him, and gave Glowing Colors. [Albany Ot. T.) Ms«r*m.j Thirty-five hundred persons in the Acad­ emy of Music in this city, Wednesday night, listened to aa oration by CoL Robert <}. Ingersoll to tho memory of Roseoe Conkling, and one-fourth as many more besieged the barred doors, while many climbed to the roof and peeped through the skylights. Tho ceremoniM were under The Trmuurtu of tbe Hermlthgr. Elizabeth, and grandson of Peter the Great. He was a poor weakling,'whom his wife could not tolerate, so after a honeymoon ofc ght months, she headed a revolution against her own husband, and had him strangled by two of her favorites, Count Orloff of diamond fame, and Gen. Bariatinski Then, with grim humor, she forood the assas­ sins to walk each side of tho coflin that inclosed his remains, and carry the path Orloff waa perfectly composed daring the entire ordeal, but the other man fainted repeatedly aud had to bo carried away. Catherine sent him into exile for his cowardice, and it was only when ho made his confession at death that the manner of the murder of Peter was known. Catherine reigned for fifty-two years, and the epoch in tho history of the empire in which she is the chief figure, was the most prosper­ ous it has ever known. She achieved victories over tbe Turks and Tartars, added many thousand square* leagues to tho area of her dominions, and did much to improve the condition of the people. hue wrote books of stories for chil­ dren, some of which are still in use, founded hospitals and asylums for un­ fortunates of all sorts, erected for­ tresses which she herself designed, es­ tablished public libraries, and did much to elevate the taste of tho people in literature aud art, besides carrying on wars and armours. In her reign Ruasia reached her golden age, tho nobles were rich and their Queen set them an example in extravagance which they, did their best to follow. The Hermitage, as it is called, al­ though the name is a misnomer, was the palace of Catharine, at least it was her favorite place of residence in Petersburg, kihe had a dozen other palaces scattered about It adjoins the Winter Palace, being connected to that building by corridors, and is by far the handsomest piece of architecture in the capital.except theC athedral of St Isaac. It is one of the few struc­ tures of stone, is beautifully carved externally, and internallv finished with great extravagance and better taste than most of the Russian palaceC Catherine called it “The Hermitage,” for it was here that she used to retire from the cares of-'state, and give her­ self up to ease and pleasure. Hero she entertained the greatest mon in Europe, poets, philosophers, travelers, and statesmen: gave informal dinner larties and balls; not as an empress, >ut as a society queen; here she had a little theater in which were given plavs of her own composition, acted by the ladies and gentlemen of her court; poets came here to read their verses, artists to rhow thoir paintings, and if tho walls of the beautiful structure could talk, they might tell tales that would astonish the world, for there were routs here, it is whimpered, that would shock the moral nervo.t of the universe, for Catherine never had things half done. Tbo Hermitage was to her what Sans Souci was to Fred­ erick tho Great, and the palace of tho Trianon to Louis of France. a handsome present of money to tho lawful widow, if thero were one. She was a mixture of Cleopatra, Lucretia Borgia, Maria Theresa, Queen Eliza­ beth, and Mme. Pompadour. If one of her favorites would not provide for Catherine's Ituies of Etiquette. his family she would renounce him In a little ante-chamber adjoining and send him to prison. If he paid more attention to bis own wife than to her great drawing-room there hangs a her, she would treat him in a similar little frame, inclosing a list of rales to bo observed by all who enter the Her­ mitage, written in Catherine's own Full of whims, of good-humor, can­ dor, courage, vanity, and ambition; brainy and muscular, she had no gen­ eral who better understood tbe science of war, or could lead an army in battle with greater personal courage; nor Lad she » stateaman in her oabipet or a dip­ lomatist in her service who could match her in craft or political wisdom. There waa no philosopher in Europe with whom she could not converse on the profoundest c.uestions as an equal, or a wit whose epigrams she could not sur­ pass.

The statue is balanced on the hind legs of tho horse and the coils of the serpent, I and is considered one of the most ro- i markable pieces of bronze art-in exist- ; illustrating the life and industrial ac­ tivity ot this remarkable man.

The blood forsook his face; his voice faltered, and he leaned on the table for support, “Yes, she simply said. “I never knew nor suspected this,” he cried, passionately. “Why did you leave me in ignorance of it? You must have known, you surely saw in my face that I loved you." She answered uoL She could tiust neither her voice nor her feelings. “Married next week!" he repeated, in a dreary, hopeless way.

[CHICAGO COBBKRrONDENUX.] Not before in the recollection of ths old­ est basa-ball lover in Chicago has tbe game created such, wild enthusiasm in this city. Possibly It is due to the mag­ nificent game Anson’s hoys are playing; but whatever may be the cause, the effect is as your correspondent states. Last Monday morning one of the Chicago pa­ pers printed the scores and remits of ISO amateur and professional Sunday games in and about tbe city, and it is safe to say unfunded sad uu warrantable, and U disproved that there were as many more of which by U>« fact teat tho whole ooaras of agrarian no account appeared in the public prints. laKlalatton for Xralaud for at least eighteen Truly, bud-ball boometh.

For the next year unceasing torments of soul were hia. Dearly as be loved his young wife, the reproaches ot duty were ever in his cars. He heard them, waking and sleeping. He worked the little patch of ground about the house, and mar­ keted its pfoduce with a mule and cart iu the city; tho theater of war in this State was now fur removed from tfiis vicinity; there was nothing but con­ science and memory, and the frequent Nashville papers that ho to re­ mind him of the war and ortho part that he ought to be playing in it In silenco ho suffered, ever maintaining to Mabel and her mother a cheerful, satisfied demeanor. Thcy nover knew, never suspected tbe stings of disregard­ ed duty borne in silence by tho ardent Northern volunteer; and when Mabel gave him an infant son she and her mother deemed that his allegiance. to this humble home was fixed beyond change. And so it might have been, but for one of those incidents, suddenly occur­ ring, with which the war was tilled. Gne of General Morgan's Confeder­ ate cavalry raids was threatening the railroads in this part of the State; an infantry brigade from tho Union front was hurried back to the exposed point It so happened that it embraced the regiment of the fugitive soldier. Dis­ embarking from the cars at a point several miles down the road on which Mrs. Gorton's house was situated, tho brigade marched past it on its way' to the threatened point In the back yard, so close to the Imubo that he had seen nothing of this, our fugitive heard the crash of brass music. His wife, pale and agitated, beckoned him in. “They are Federal soldiers," she said. “Don’t let them »ea you." He went into the front room and peered through the blipda. With wildly throbbing heart he recognized his lost comrades. He saw the dusty ranks marching by with company front, each stalwart 'soldier whom ho had known and loved with a musket on his shoulder. His face was white. “Mabel, its my brigade, my regi­ ment !" be cried. “Let me go. I mast join them." For answer, she placed his baby in his arms.

Our store room is over 100 feet long, and one entire side of it is packed with Boots and Shoes, consisting mostly of the best makes, such as Robinson & Burtenshaw. Buel & Sons, McIntosh & Co., etc. It would occupy a large amount of space to quote prices unon all of my goods, and even then you could not feel satisfied they were cheap without seeing the goods, therefore I will only say that my prices will range from one-quarter to one-half off from the regular price, and leave you for the judge after seeing the goods.

The Confederate armies at the West had disappeared, but thousands of their soldiers swarmed in tho woods, unwilling to go to thoir desolate homes. Of the remains of Good’s army that melted sway after the defeat at Nash­ ville this was peculiarly true. Dis­ couraged and demoralised, without means of subsistence or hope for the future, they took to the forests aud mountain glens, and many of thorn lived for months a wild and wandering life. Then there were thousands more of irregulars, guerrillas, who had never been under any kind of military dis­ cipline, wbo were far more lawless aud dangerous than the disbanded soldiers who had been in tho armies of tho Confederacy. Large camps of supply were estabhahed by the V nited States Government, where clothing and food were issued to a host of refugees and their families, and some of the classes we have named took advantage of the opportunity and camo in to receive much-needed aid; but there were great numbers who preferred to retain their arms and keep up the war on their own account borne wore actuated by * mere brutal desire for fighting, and unwillingness to give up the contest that had been so long waged: and others were no better than lurking highwaymen and BKsassins. It is a dark picture, and has no parallel in the quiet and orderly dispersion of the armies of Lee and Johnston after their surrender. And it is safe to say that the worst outrages committed in the Southwest at the time named were the work of men who had never been in the Confederate uniform at all. Along the Southern rivers the guer­ rillas and outlaws did deadly work. They skulked behind trees and rocks, firing at every passing steamboat, and killing and wounding not only Union soldiers but citizen passengers. The w pilots were most frequently tha tar­ gets of their deadly aim, for they were skilled marksmen, and were familiar with the business of killing men with rifles. The pilot-houses were sheathed with boiler-iron, and their inmates avoided exposing themnelves' as much as possible; but the fatal bullet fre­ quently searched them out It would naturally be supposed that there would be difficulty, under such circumstances, in securing pilots for tbe trips; but there was not. This hardy class of men were accustomed to tho dangers of the rivers, they were attached to their calling, were mostly stanch Union men, anxious to be of service to tho cause, they received very large pay, nnd coolly treated the danger from guerrillas along the shores as one of tbe risks that tbeir business neces­ sarily exposed them .o. In wan an ad­ mirable manifestation of true American pluck. . Let the reader turn to a good map of tho West, and mark tho course of the Tennessee River, as it winds from Eastoort, in the northeast corner of Mississippi, to the Ohio at Paducah, across the States of Tennessee and Kentucky. It is navigable all the way, nnd over thia long route steamboats were continually passing after tbe vic­ tory at Nashville. The Army of the Cumberland had been ^established at Eastport, and supplies, ammunition, soldiers on furlough and returning to camp, and everything that relates to aa army in the field loaded tho busy steamboats. The boat upon which my informant was returning to his regiment, after a sixty days’ furlough, had on dock a large invoice of hard bread in tbe.ordinary boxes, which the twenty or thirty soldiers aboard had built up along the guards for protection, with •. insterticee left for firing oat. The boat had passed the Tennessee line before there was much trouble. Then there was hardly an hour bvt there was a rifle-shot from the woods. Those peer­ ing out through the loopholes would see a puff of white smoke from behind a tree or ia a thicket, would hear a re­ port. and a leaden ball would flatten that bullet* couldn’t possibly make an there any carualtiea among t>,e soldiers while they kept well to cor- r. Ent a sergeant, incautiously raiw,/g his head above the barrier to take a good ob­ servation, received bullet in his brain, and tumbled dead to the deck. The victim was known and beloved by all ou board, and, cry of grief and rage -went up fro. * his comrades. Those men had becn'.au-zhened in a doz­ en battle*, and were as hardy and reck­ less aa the Western soldier ever bs-came. A common impulse now seized them to capture the assassin, and avenge their comrade. “Run • in, pilot—run in!" several called out “Well catch that fellow!" Thu Captain was below at the mo­ ment, out of the way of interference, and the pilot was willing to humor their mad whim. The bow of the boat was turned up to the bank, and a dozen or fifteen soldiers, with- tbeir muskets in hand, ran along tho deck, jumped ashore, and scattered through the woods in pursuit In any such case tho chances would bo one hundred to ono against them. The lurking guerrillas knew all tho ^tracks through the woods, were fleet of foot, and would naturally distance their pursuers in such a race. On this, occasion tho boldness and promptnessi of tho pursuit took the assassin—for he was no better—entirely by surprise. The soldiers were going swiftly through the forest when they saw a man dart, ou» from behind a large tree thirty yards ahead, and run. Some shouted "Halt!" and three or four rifles were vainly fired at him. The chances were still in his favor; but as ho ran, his foot caught in a projecting root, and he was hurled at full length on his face. His pursuers were upon him be­ fore he could rise, and ho was a prisoner. After a very brief but stormy debate'• as to whether the captive should bp killed there, cr taken aboard the boat, tbe latter course was adopted. Ho was a sullen, ferocious-looking fellow, clad in faded homespun, and they took from him the long hunter’s rifle with which he had slain tho poor sergeant. He saw tho body as they brought him aboard, and looked with curiosity, but withcDo other emotion, at the cruel bullet-bole In the fair forehead. There was no unnecessary delay in the stern but just fate that these sol­ diers unanimously resolved to visit upon their prisoner. He was told to stand and have his eyes bandaged. He obeyed without ft word, seeing that re­ sistance and entreaty were alike use­ less. Tho Captain had now come on deck, bnt had no wish to interfere. Some of tho men observed tbat tho Eilot looked from the window of his ouse, and that just before the eyes oi the culprit were bandaged a look of re­ cognition passed between them. There was a “ready, aim, fire!" and tho man fell dead, his breast torn by half a dozen bullets. The body was unceremoniously pitched overboard, and the steamboat went on her way. That afternoon some of the men climbed up into tbe pilot house, bent on interviewing the pilot. He told them frankly that the \ ictim was his sister’s husband. Ho said he hud not seen him before since the outbreak of the war, when they took opposite sides of the conflict The soldiers were impressed by this awful feature of the tragedy. “You never asked us for his life," one of them observed. “No. What use would that be? Y’ou wouldn't have snared him." They looked down to the dock, whore tho body of their comrade rested on a bier of cracker-boxes, with the Cap­ tain's flag draped over it for a shroud. “No, I guess wo wouldn’t," one of them replied.

That fact it­ self demonstrated that he was en­ vironed by tho unknown, and that whether a Union or a Secession army would first reach the capital mis at best an uncertainty.

The letter was dated the fifth of tbe month, and it was in­ tended to be sent out by some blockade runner, so as to reach the young man’s parents, who lived in England. It serves to show tbe determined spirit of the Southern people and tbe straits to which they were driven before tho war was half over: “1 wish with all my heart this war was over, aud thou you may be sure it would not bo long bafore I see tbe white cliffs of dear old England. I love England, but being here when tbe war broke out, I had to join, but I do not regret it, as I know tbe South is right, and never can bo conquered.

I was only a little thing; but tbe recollection will never be blotted out from mv memory." Such a reminiscence as this very naturally set good Mrs. Maxwell cry­ ing, and for a moment the subject of their conversation was forgotten. It was brought up again by tho ring of tho door-bell. "That’s his ring," said Mrs. Maxwell, hurriedly drying her eyes. , “Now do try to treat him welt Just think what a chance it would be for you, Belle! I know he likes you." This was rathe'r more than the widow had said yet to her daughter on the subject. She was a good-hearted woman, but tbe prospect of having Mr. Curry for a sou-in-law had rather npset her usually level head. She had made a great many plans in secret, based cn that desirable event The death of her husband in tbe war had left her poor, with nothing to rely on but her daughter’s musikd abilities, tho exercise of which now gave the two a very comfortable support Belle was a good girl, as well os handsome and clever, and cheerfully labored for her mother and herself. She was prob­ ably as happy in her independence and in the love of her work and her home aa any girl in the city. Some years having parsed since the fall of Major Maxwell among the country’s heroes, the widow's grief had become blunted, and she, too, was enjoying a certain happiness. That is, she had been, un­ til the advent of Mr. Curry and his marked attentions to her daughter threw the good woman into a flutter of excitement and snticipation. Noth­ ing is so disturbing to the average per­ son as a remote and uncertain prospect of wealth-; and the truth is in this case that Mrs. Maxwell lay awake the greater portion of several nights, spec­ ulating about what would happen when Belle should become the rich The young lady herself was not in the least disturbed by any such pros­ pect. The man was positively disa­ greeable to her. Ho was gentlemanly in his ways, cold and unemotional; one to whom generous impulses were strangers. Ho was devoted to the care of the large fortune tbat bad been left him by his late uncle, a great war con­ tractor, and was constantly looking out for chances to swell it by speculation. This was tho lost man that might nat­ urally be expected to fall in love.

"Mias Maxwell, I have lately bought a pair of fine trotters, and have not yet had them out ou a long ride. 1 am going over to Ridgford to-moriow, and 1 should be pleased to have you accom­ pany me. Lt is a business trip, but I think it will be a pleasant one. It will, of course, take all day.“ The widow's heart leaped. Things were getting on admirably. For her daughter to be soon riding with Mr. Curry behind those trotters was almost as good as au engagement of marriage. She had never heard of his taking a lady out to drive. The next instant Belle made a reply that gave ber mother a chi it “I am greatly obliged to you, sir; but it would bo impossible for mo to go to-morrow. I have promised to sing at the pablic Memorial Day exercises in >he square. ” ’ * “You should not decline on that ac­ count, * the mother eagerly put in. “Yon can get them to excuse you. There are others that can sing. Go with Mr. Curry, by all means.” Tha girl looked at both her mother and tho gentleman with a quiet but severe dignity. She was a datifal child; but there are occasions when a mild reproof from child to parent is the correct thing; and it was so now. “I shall sing nt 'the exorcises, as I promised," ahe said, decidedly. "Ever since the war closed, from the time I was a little girl, I have taken a part in the observance of this day, and I shall do so as long as I live." You surely can’t mein to advise me against it, mother?" “No, Belle, you know 1 would not; but this is an unusual invitation------- " “It must be declined," was tho firm interruptipn. Mr. Curry was very much vexed, and was indiscreet enough to show it. He was aiso foolish enough to say some things in his vexation, which, while correctly representing his own narrow views, were very impolitic things to soy in this house. . “I am much disappoiuted, Miss Max­ well, at your refusal. " Ebe did not think it necessary to say that sbo too was sorry; for she was not sorry, and this was tho last man on earth that she would tell a white lie to, for tbe sake of mere politeness. “Aud I am rather surprised," he pursued, “that you should prefer such a meaningless show to a pleasant ride in the country at this charming sea­ son.'’ M -aningles* show ! The blood of , her heroic sire flushed up in the girl’s cheek at the words; but she kept back her temper, and kept silence. “It has always seemed to mo to bo a very silly parade of false sentiment," the doomed man went on. “The sol­ diers enlisted as a mere matter of busi­ ness; they were paid for their work; those tlist did took that risk st the start; the account was closed some years ago. For sensible people to get up those observances every year, to sing, and pray, and palaver, and have a groat fuss with flowers over a pack of dead soldiers seems to mo tho very foam of folly. I wish------- " Ho never had the opportunity to ex­ press his wish. Belle .Maxwell bounded from her chair with flashing eyes and burning face. “Mr. Curry, such sentiments are dis­ graceful!” she cried. “1 won’t sit here and listen to them. Mother, if you got any pleasure from this man’s company you may stay here and enjoy it; I must bt> excused." She abruptly withdrew to her own room. On the following day Mr. Curry drove hia splendid trotters over to Ridgford alone, thinking along the way a great deal about his investments and alternating these reflections with others about the curious nature of girls. Bello Maxwell participated in the tender and touching ceremonies of the day; and many remarked that her voice had never sounded so sweet aa when she sang “They Sleep the Sweet Sleep of the Brave." A tall young veteran walked by her side as they went to the adjoining cemetery to witness tho ceremony. There was much talk between the two, in the course of which she ob served that he had not cidled upon her lately. “No," he said; “and I believe no man has but Mr. Curry." “If you mention that odious man’s I name to me again, I’ll nover speak to you," she said. The tall young veteran was very glad to hear this, and he governed himself accordingly. And be conduct­ ed himself generally in such a way toward Belle Maxwell that before another Memorial Day the two were married. Some years have elapsed since then. Nothing in our country is moro com­ mon than a sudden reverse of fortune; yet such examples are always surpris­ ing. It will not astonish the reader to learn that the tall young veteran has become a middle-aged inventor, and has accumulated a great fortune by his patents; but it may occasion a mild surpriae when it is stated that Mr. I months at the timo that our sketch opens.

Tbe State Public School at Coldwa­ ter, has now over 200 little waifs for whom good Michigan homes are de­ sired. Nearly all of them are boys, the girls finding homes more readily. Then* are many people iu Nashville and vicin ity whose childless homes would be brightened and made happier by tbe advent of one of these little ones. These boys are not criminals nor off­ scourings, but are principally homeless orphans, or the offsprings of povertystriken parents. For particulars write to the superintendent of the State Pub­ lic school, Coldwater. A neat piece of work was done by B. F. Dean, a Vermontville dealer in mus ical instruments one day thia week. Two local dealers had organs on trial in a certain residence, and each was striving bard to make a sale. Fearing failure, they sent for a Charlotte dealer to come down and assist. Meanwhile Dean drove to Hastings, taking tbe prospective customer along, and sold her a six-octave Capitol City organ for $125, while the others were waiting for her to return. They were an extreme! v tired crowd when they heard of the re suit of the trip to Hastings. SCHOOLREPORT. (Mouth ending May 25th.) HIGH school. Total enrollment for month. 35.

Agricultural College, June 4th, *88. The students of the four Michigan colleges, Albion, Olivet, Hillsdale nod the Agricultural, bare united to form the Michigan Inter-colle­ giate Athletic Association, holding an annual field day alternating betwgep the member* of the league. The first waa held on our ground* last week, the boys of M. A. C. entertaining all visiting students free. The natural beaun of cur grounds was rendered picturesque by seventy-five tents bjiongtag to the state troupe, which bad been loaned aud pitched in various little sheltered necks among the trees, as wcl 1 ar. in streets and groups. From Thursday noon until Saturday evening was a holiday for the purpose. All the colleges were well represented, and the honors were about equally divided. A complete list of games and contests was on the prograre, some of the best being the 100 yards dash won by Ward, of Hillsdale, in ten and three fourths seconds, or at the rate of IS miles an, hour; and the Standing jump of Barnett, of M. A. C., of twelve fe$t and eight inches. The totter is -a half blood Indian, and has won six medals in seven entries. He was perhaps the* favorite ofalL The running high jump was won by Cannahan, of Hillsdale, five feet and one inch; the high kick by Olivet, 20J< inches above the head; and the running high kick by Gale, of Albion, right feel and eight inches. Four games of ball were played, the moat in­ terest bring centered ta that between the two best teams, Albion and M. A. C. for the belt The former had beaten Hillsdale the day be­ fore something like 20 to 3 on six Innings, and the latter bad vanquished Olivet 12 to 2 ta six innings. ■ The result of nine innings was eight for Albton, aud ten for M. A. C.. Five of the former aud three of the latter number being made ta ooe Inning, so that with that excep­ tion the playing was flue. The Albions had the of their tallies iu the last inning. Lawn tennis went to Olivet, and boxing, kicking, jumping, running, gymnastic*, etc., distributed tbe honors quite evenly. Although tbe visiting students were up into the hun­ dreds not a tiling happened to mar the pleas ure. Every act was gentlemanly, and no feel­ ing but cordial good will seemed to exist. This mixing of different colleges will work good. It beget* respect for each other and their work. The industral and the classical institutions should come closer together; It will benefit both.

The sun was just rising from its nap in Chesapeake Bay when the two men look their positions on the field of honor. La Eieux’s glass eye caught the reflection from the sun and glis­ tened like a gambler's shirt-stud. CoL Monstcry, calm, severe and dignified, rolleil up his shirt-sleeves, grasped his sword firmly by the hit, aud prepared himself for tbe Iray. “Get ready, gentlemen!'* shouted the seconds. The scintillations from La Lieux's glass eye were so bright that the sun covered its face with a cloud. CoL kionstery advanced toward his adver­ sary grim and pitiless. It was a duel a la niort, and tbe Colonoi had stood so often ou the razor-bridge between life snd death that he was careless ol results. For a' few seconds the two swordsmen played with each other, fencing for an opening. The steel blades flashed through tho air, curved around tbe heads ol the combatants, and in their des-re to Up blood seemed almost human. All at once CoL Monstory’s sword-arm fell powerless to his side and a stream of crimson blood spurted from his wrist. “This is a duel a la mort," he ejacu­ lated as be changed his weapon to his other hand. “When a man is insulted he can fight with e tber arm.” La Lieux’s glass eyes still contin­ ued to cast a ghtter upon tbe scene. Its rays entered tbe Colonel’s soul and hardened his heart. The Irishman, brave, I hot-headed, aud impulsive, forced the fighting, and for a moment i ds adversary bad to act on the defens­ ive. In a trice, however, the Colonel recovered himself, and made a thrust at the same time tbat he parried a blow. La Lieux uttered a cry of pain, and his glass eye rolled out upon tbe grass. “Look out," he cried, “don’t step on it It cost SKJ.” Again the Colonel’s arm fell power­ less to his side. This time it was with laughter and not by a wound that he was rendered harmless “La Lieux,*’ said he, “let's shake bands and call it quits. I couldn’t fight now if I wante The Irishman wiped the blood from the place where his eye was, and ex­ tended his hand. The' glass eye was picked up and placed back in its sock­ et Tbe wound inflicted was not a se­ vere one, and that night the two duel­ ists and their seconds enjoyed a din­ ner that called into requisition all the terrapin and champagne that Baltimore afforded. “If it hadn’t been for the glass eye,* said CoL Monstexy, “La Lieux would hare been a dead man, as my next lunge would have pierced his heart.

A patriot like tbe Colonel, who had fought lor liberty in Sweden, Poland, aud Hun­ gary, could not brook tbe taunting m•ult to the flag of freedom in America, and his pouion got the better of his judgment. La laeux and Monstery both being noted daelista, a challenga followed aa a matter of courae. Tbo meeting took place shortly after daybreak tho next morning iu a field in ehe outskirts of the town. Swords war® chosen aa the weapons, aud the preparations for the dual were as sim­ ple as during the days of Cardinal Kichelieu, when D'Artagnan used to pick a quiurrel just before breakfast to wbet his appetite. La Licux was an Irishman, despite his I rench name, and had lost his right cyo iu a contest with a shillaleh in bis native town. His loss was repaired by a glows orb, which glistened, cold, sinister, and expressionless, like the steel in the blade of his sword.

Eighteen miles to go to reach Ivor, and only about four hours of night left to do it in, over a fearful road, in a storm of mingled rain and sleet and snow. I don’t bless that “intelligent con­ traband”—generally a lying African. Oh, no—not muchl It seemed as if we would perish, for we had no time to seek shelter, no time to build fires and warm up. Dashing on, with au hour to spare before daybreak, I reached a dense grove of scrubby pine, about three miles short of Ivor. Here I halted and sent my men into the grove, telling them io go buck out of Sight of tbe road, build a fire and warm up, while I went on alone.

The delay between Farragut's arrival and Butler's possession of the city wm thoroughly improved. Tele­ grams were sent up the road for all tbe rolling stock that could be gathered, and us fast os tho cars camo in they were loaded and sent out. It was necessary to take them be­ yond Pass Manchac in order to be out of reach of the Federal gunboats, which took possession of the lakes nearly as soon as the river. The old “Jackson Railroad” Depot never before or since presented such a busy appearance as during the few days of no 'rule. in New Orleans and the departure of tbe Con­ federate military forces and supplies. For a mile the different side-tracks were dotted with the quiek-moring forms of men hard at work, and the hasty arrival and departure of drau and boats. Carri­ ages also, with tho sweethearts and lady fr.ends of thp soldiers, stood thickly scattered along the outer edge of the circle of busy humanity. The glitter of steel in tho sunlight told plainly, even in the distance, tbat all of this almost superhuman effort wm guided and controlled by military authority. The first trains out had time to reach Camp Moore, on the out­ skirts of the station of Tangipahoa, about eighty miles north, unload and return before the Federal commander saw fit to put a stop to it The last trains out were unusually heavy, and crowded with soldiers m welt Slow time was made generally, but as we reached Kenfierville, ten miles above the city, the road ran within a half-mile of tho river, in plain view, and it was necessary to make as quick time as possible, to avoid the chance of a shot from the gunboats. The commander of the Federal fleet seemed to have gained some informa­ tion as to our movements, for a couple of gunboats were cruising slowly up and down the river. Our train wm one ot the latest, and all the pressure of the steam wm forced on the drive wheels ss we passed Kennerviile. There wm about a mile of open planta­ tion before we entered the awamp, and the gunboats open on ns as we cleared tbe town. At least a dozen shots were fired at us, but except a crash through one or two box cars, do damage wm done. Above Kennerviile we got along finely until we passed Bayou de Sair. where we had a stretch of about eight miles of soft, trembling cypress awamp, and the wooden trestle wojk would spring and sway as we passed along. When within three miles of Pass Mauchac tbe trestle work gave way and let down two or three box ears. All hands took hold and rolled them over, so that we conld patch up the track and go on, as we feared being cut off by some of the Federal gunboats at the Paas. We saw nothing as we rolled quietly ont of the dense growth of the swamp, upon the lower edge of Lake Maurepas and thundered upon the bridge. The train wm hardly its length on the bridge before wo saw a Federal gunboat approaching from lx>low, and at almost tbe same time the swash of a shell in the water beside us impressed us fully with our dangerous position. Tho ‘gunboat was barely three-fourths of a mile away and com­ ing m fast as possible. Out of a score of shots but three or four struck our train; on® of the shells entering a l>ox car and exploded, blowing out both doors. It did not take us long to cross that bridge. Fortunately for us, the draw wm closed, and we darted out upon the trestle-work of Johnson's Island like a flash of lightning. It wm only two or three miles acroxa to the bridge over greet for the decaying timber ot the Mauri, if doxen men was leit to guard the property and watch the enemy. Wo expected th® Federal gunboat to pass through the drawbridge and come around the upper end of the island to the North Pass bridge, and thus cut ofl all chance of our saving the cars; but our guards informed us that, after re­ peated trials to open the draw, the gunboat gave it up, and set fire to the bridge. The bridge was built on piles* and only the stringers and some of the cross-timbers were burned, bnt suffi­ cient to prevent any crowing of ears until near the close of the war, when it was completely renewed. We continued ou beyond Ponichetoula nearly to the Southern Cax Works, before we met a train bound south. As soon as they were informed of the condition of things they pulled out for the swamp. Another large de­ tail, however, was sent with the train to assist in transferring the goods from the wrecked cars. As wo reached Pontchatoula it was so near night the tram was l^id up until morning. At dsylight we proceeded on down to tbe pass. As we approached Owl Bayou we saw a smoke rising to our right, apparently in the Pass, and di­ rectly some of our guards stepped out of the thiek bushes and the train came to a stop. Our guards told us that the enemy succeeded in getting through the draw, and they of coarse retreated across the bridge to avoid being taken prisoners, or compelled to stay in the mud and water an indefinite time. While the guards were giving us this explanation, a shell hurtled through the cypress limb® over our heads, evi­ dently fired at the position of our lo­ comotive, from which the smoke wse rising, and- we hastily took our way backward witbou accomplishing any­ thing more. Wilp.er H. Weihjeb.* Gener&l Grant's Son Jessie. At one time his youngest son, Jesse, then a boy of only seven years, came ont on the platform when a cry for a •‘speech'’ wai loudest and his father was as silent as the Sphinx. The lad looked first at tho mass of enthnsiariicpeoplo before him. and then at tbo great soldier by his side, and inquired: “Papa, why don't you speak to them ?“ Bnt Grant remained mute, nod Jesse at last cried o it: “I can make a speech if papa can't.** The shouts in­ stantly went np: “A speech from .lease! A speech from Jove'" Then there was a huslA the child began in his treble voice, bnt without a shade o the embarrassment hu father would" havo felt: "The boy stood on tbs baring dock." Jesse made another speech during the same summer (hat was even mors felicitous. Grant and h's family were at tho farm near St. Louis where Mrs. Grant's father resided, and one hot day after the 2 o'clock dinner, when everybody went out on the lawn, Jesse mounted a haystack and ex­ claimed; "111 show you how papa makes a speech." Grant .himself laughed, and we all went up to the haystack. Then Jessie made a bov (which his ffither wo ild not have done)^. aud began: "Ladies aud gentlemen: I am very glad to see you. and I thank you very much- Good-night.” Every­ one laughed, but Grant biashod up to tbe eyes. I don't think he relished, the imitation at all; it was too close. But Jesse was tbe baby, and we talked about something else. Lincoln on Sham Piety. Two ladies from Tennessee called at the White House ono day and bogged Mr. Lincoln to release their husbands, who were rebel prisoners at Johnson’s Island. One of the fair petit.onerr urged as a reason for tbo liberation of her husband that he was a very relig­ ious man, and she rung the changes on this pious plea ad nauseam. “Madam,” said Mr. Lincoln, "you say roar husband is a religious man. Per­ haps I am not a good jmlge of such matters, but in my opinion the religion that makes men rebel and tight against their government is not tbe genuine article, dot is that religion tho right sort which reconciles them to tbe idea of eating their bread in the sweat of other men’s faces. It is not thu kind to get to heaven on.” PROPOS of reminiacencen concern­ ing General Grant, home in Galena: General Smith, 1 one o! the old resi­ dents of the place, was at dinner one day, before the war was fairly inaugurated, when a servant, announced: “Some one to see you, sir."

At BASE BALL- As announced last week, the Kalamo ball team came over on Tuesday fully prepared to wallop the earth I the Nashville hoys, and they did the Queen’s taste. The visitors were first at bat and piled up six runs before they concluded to go to the field. The home team got half that number, but failed to score again until the fifth Tuning, by which time the Kalamo boys had 35 runs to their credit. (The game up to this time was rotten rh the ex­ treme, the boys being so hot at the umpire for manifestly poor judgment on balls and strikes that they did little else but cuss and make errors. In the last four innings they held the visitors down to five runs, while they them­ selves made eight, but the lead already gained by Kalamo was too great to overcome and the home team was de­ feated by a score of thirty to fourteen. The visiting team is a strong one, veiy apt in the field, and play their po­ sitions well for amateurs, but are not strong at the bat. They are a quiet, gentlemanly/Iotof fellows, and left a very favorable impression both with home players and the spectators. A return game has been arranged, to be played on the Kalamo grounds on immensely while away by flirting with the immense trout in the creeks of Me­ costa and Osceola countisa.

There is a dog living on the West Side, (says tho Buffalo Courier, that has recently developed the strangest appetite that ever excited a canine pal­ ate. The other day a dozen creanx cheeses were bought, and when theycame they were set on a shelf in tho laundry, the weather being ao cold thatit was not necessary to put them in the refrigerator. A few hours later, when, it came time to place Ute cheeses on the table, they were nowhere to liefound. The dog hud a don’t-ask-me-anv questions expression on his face, and it. was Itelieved he had stolen them. Still, us they were wrapped in tin foil, it did not seem as though the dog could haverelished them, and, besides, the cook to steal them he would have attracted, attention. The disappearanco of the cheeses remained a mystery for quit» two weeks, when the mistress of the house was one afternoon attracted to. the yard by the lurking of the dog, and on going to the door she saw the dog pnll out from under a pile of rubbish one of the missed cheeses. He then carefully unrolled the foil with hia. paws, and devoured the contents with undisguised gusto. The remarkablepart of it was that the dog had had sufficient sagacity to store the cheeses, and partake of one of them each day, instead of disposing of the entire num­ ber at one sitting, as most dogs and probably all children would do. Hia. love for cheese is accounted f*r by the fact that his gnmdjiaxwnts (orona of them) were English bulldogs. A Bright Teatk. An Austin parent has a dreadfullr ■tupid boy.

CHAPTER XXIV. These words are addressed to----Mr. -Belmont. They are written in the si­ lence of the night, when I am alone with Him who judges us all. He Jcnows that I have no choice; that I must fly, like a thief in the night, from the dear woman who has been so kind to me, from the noble man whose love would honor a queen, and which I must now reject, once and forever. The happiness that ho points me to. I cannot take. There is a barrier in I cannot bear the misery of saying a last farewell to these two; nor can I bear that they should think mo un­ grateful, or even cold. Nor do I dare to pour out my heart upon this insen­ sate paper. I will in a few words tell them why I must leave them forever. I would implore them that they leave -me to go my sorrowful way in peace; that they will not strive to' find me. But the regret is needles*. They will mot wish—Randall Belmont will not wish—to see me, to bear aught more of me, after this writing shall be fully tread and comprehended. My true name is not Jessie Bryson; it is Edith Wendell. Ten years ago I lived with my parents in wealth and luxury in a’ city. My recollection is •very distinct about it. The snarling, morose laborer whom jyo j knew as Tom Bryson, and who has gone to so fearful an’account was the miserable wreck of my noble father of ■-those old days, Newland Wendell by name. Misfortune overtook him in the city. He fell from his high position in busi­ ness and society, he lost his wealth, -he was once tried for crime. I never knew correctly the true story of that -sorrowful time, but I have often heard my father bitterly say that he waa far more sinned against than sinning, and ■that Mason Belmont—your own father, -Randall—was responsible for his rum. And i have heard him say that the -elder Belmont was the merciless cred­ itor who stripped him of all his prop•erty, when a little forbearance would ■have brought him his due. and made a man again of tho poor, distressed -debtor. You, Randall, mar perhaps jenow •where the trnth is In all this. 1 do ■not pretend to. I onlv know that our misfortunes killed my dear mother, and -that my father and I became much as •outcasts. I have told you that I promised that mother in her dying hour that I would -always be faithful to my father, and -ever love and obey him. That is trne. And you have wondered how that .promise could constrain me to give my Laud to .Edgar Van Wyck, whom I did mot love and to reject yourself, whom J did love (yes, I may as well confess I. at the bidding of my father. You might well wonder. The rea­ son I gave von was not the real one. Not but that I have been true to the memory of that saint in Heaven, my -own dear mother! Not but that I -wished to keep the pledge I had will­ ingly given her in her dying hour! But she never foresaw how brutified her once noble husband would become -with the years. She never anticipated ?that he could become so cruel us to re- ‘ •cording to his selfish will. No! There was another reason for what 1 so strangely promised to do­ lor what I have, with equal strangemess, declined to do. Do you remember, Randall, when won met me in the old house last OctoNMT? How you thought you had met erne somewhere before —how I coldly ■told you that yo i were mutaken? In fact, I recognized you at once. When I last saw you in the city you were fifteen years old, and I had'not forgotten you. But I dared not tell you so. It was mot only that I knew that my father wanted to conceal our identity; there And now, ns the shadow of that -dreadful explanation obscures tho churactors I am trying to write, I appeal to you, Randall, to do me justice. 1 have -done no wrong. Sometimes it has. ■*ered a* I have; but my burdens have been laid upon me by others; I.am lanocent! On that day, last October, you come to the old house with the officers of the your father, who had mysteriously 'our feet trod on the very brink of The robber aid the murderer con- It troubled ma Never had I seen him look so wolfish. I came back to the stairs, and listen­ ed. I hoard him fiercely reproaching your father for his misfortunes. I went to bed, but could not sleep. The atmosphere of the whole house seemed charged with violeuce and crime. I rose in the night, and partially dressed myself. O. God forgive my wretched, mis­ guided father 1 I learned of his awful crime. Spare mo the painful recital of all that I saw aud heard in those hideous hours! At the peril'of my own life (for 1 knew that the murderer would have struck mo dead had he detected me), I saw him burying the corpse of his vic­ tim; I saw him secreting the money. And ho never, to the moment of his death, suspected that I knew aught of it. • Discovery was threatened, when he learned that Edgar Van Wyck had «aided Mason Belmont to the house. Thether Edgar at any time suspected the crime, I do not know; but nis si­ lence as to the presence of your father in that house on that night was bought by the promise of my hand. What was I to do ? To live with the dreadful knowledge that I hod was hard enough; was I also to see my father go to the hangman ? That might have been the penalty of a refusal of Edgar. Shall I sjxjak of the daily and night­ ly horror of dwelling beneath that roof since that August night? You may conjecture it; I cannot tell it. Save for the tragic fate of the un­ happy being who perished in the de-struction of tho house, I cannot regret that it has been swept out of existence. To me it would ever be a’ place of horrors. Now you know alL You know the life I have lately lived, the crushing burdens I have borne. You know why 1 have avoided you, why I fly from you now. . Need I say more? Would you wish for more ? Well, let me go on. You are large of soul; you are generous far beyond the- power of most men. Will you still urge me? Do you re­ mind me that, with those deaths that have lately occurred, I am freed from all control, from all fear of conse­ quences, and that I should offer no further impediment ? Randall Belmont, stop and think! You come of a proud and wealthy ancestry. In the city where you live, you are, or will be, known of all men. You belong to its business, to its so­ ciety; high honors must be waiting for you"in coming years. Your wife must be one that you are not ashamed of; whoever she be, her history will be examined, questions will be asked and answered about her. And if I could occupy that place, think how the question, “Who was she?" must be answered by the hor­ rible but truthful words, “She is the daughter of the man who murdered his father for money, and buried him in the cellar!" Because the story must become known. Once I thought that I would keep it forever hidden in my breast. But you see why I am compelled to tell you; and now, others must know it You must recover the remains and Eire them Christian burial at your ome; the whole shocking story will be known there. Or, if not how would it be with yourself? Would you like to be face to face, fur life, with the woman whose father murdered yours? Could you endure that? . ' No! There is no escape from tho conviction that, whoever else' may be joined together, we two must be for­ ever sundered. Farewell, then, forever! You have tried to make me happy, but it cannot be. May God reward you as you de­ serve. I love you too well to make you wretched. Jkssica. Th® fellow laughed at hi® own bruUhty, and tho distressed girl moved away. .

Jovis, the well-known French mronaut, is preparing an Atlantic air­ ship, with which he hopes to cross from New York to some point in northern Europe during the autumn. The ba* loon will lie called the Atlantic, will be about 200 feet in height, and have a cubic measurement of 35,000 meters. It will only weigh about 4,500 English pounds avoirdupois, and with the car, nggiug, passengers and appar­ atus about doable that amount. The car will be square, and will be divided midway by a wooden deck, above which will rise a quarter deck, both of which will be connected by a ladder. Mr. Jovis, who will be accompanied by Mr. Paul Arene, Llent. Mallet, M. Charpentier and two other passengers, hopes to make seventy miles an hoar. He may land in Norway or Sweden, if not in Ireland, in three and half days after storting. Every conceivable ac­ cident is believed to have been provid­ ed against. M. Jovis does not hope that the scheme will have any immwliate practical result. It is purely scien­ tific, and will cost about $40,000. Major Powell, of the V. S.'GeoIogical Survey, has submitted to congress n project which almost take* one's breath away. He contends that all the mis­ chiefs done by the spring floods in the great natural waterways can be avert­ ed by constructing an immense system of reservoirs, which will hold back the waters pouring oceanward through the Missouri and Mississippi, the Arkansas, the Red, the Rio Grande and the Sacromento river. Nor, according to Maj. Powell’s idea, would this ennrmous storage of water be an end in itself; he would use the water for the reclama­ tion of the vast area of land in the United States—extending, he says, to 1,300,000 square miles—which at present is a treeless waste, but which has in it* soil all the elements that would make it rich for agricultural purposes except that which must be supplied by irriga­ tion. Major Powell does not propose that the whole of this area should be . attacked at once, but be estimates that ■ “it is possible to reclaim-150,000 square miles ot it within a comparatively brief period of time.” He asks for a million to begin the work, and says that it will require two years to lay out the ground wort of bis enormous system. ________ The so-called “dens of infamy” in the lumber camps have at last become a campaign issue in Michigan. After having been vaguely talked and writ­ ten about for two years Mrs. Emma Obenauer. a Women’s Christian Tem­ perance Union missionary, has been relating in public meetings and in let­ ters to the press the awfal honors that she says attend them; a few weeks ago the Women’s Christian Temperance Union state convention openly de­ nounced Gov. Luce for neglecting to suppress them, and public meetings and petitions have been set on foot all through the state. The state republican press has taken np the cry that the move is a political attack on Gov. Luce, and two Detroit papers haic sent cor­ respondents to investigate the real con­ dition of affairs in the localities where the dens are supposed to wist. Gov. Luce has issued an open letter to M r*. Obenauer, in xkich be says that for the last two years he has diligently tried to locate one of the alleged dens. The present rumors, he says, have all been traced to Mrs.' Obenauer, and he tells her that she has publicly made foul charges against the fair fame and name of the state, and he want* her to furnish proof which will put him on the track of one of the "stockade*.” The diriiitegration of the Knight* of Labor i* going on rapidly.

The retrogade movement was begun on tbe next dnv, aid with some halts we reached Vormilionville on the 3d, and camped just outside the village. This sketch baa little to do with tho project cf marching an army to Texas overland; but it has since seemed to the writer, as it has to others who were there, that enough ought to have been discovered in this futile campaign of tbe difflcnltiea of supplying a large fire J to far from its base, to prevent the folly of tbe Red River expedition in the following spring. The streams of Louisiana are bayous, fed by the Mississippi; sometimes they are naviga­ ble, and sometimes not, depending on the height of water in the parent stream. General Franklin found them unfavorable for his purpose, and re­ luctantly hod to abandon the route to Texas. ’ The enemy had an inferior but very active force under General Richard Taylor (a son of old “Rough and Beady”), a large part of which was composed of horse. There waa some desultory fighting on the way up, but never a general engagement, which the Confederates could not afford. The campaign was an easy one for tbe sol­ diers, though it oocomplished nothing; and by the middle of November the army was back again around New Iberia and Franklin, in winter quarter*. Before retiring from YermUionville a stirring affair happened which led to the incident which will presently be When the Nineteenth Corps fell back to YermUionville the Thirteenth re­ remained at or near Carrion Crow Bayou, some fourteen miles in advance. Burbridge’s brigade of the latter corps was considerably in advance from the main body, and in an exposed situa­ tion. An attack was not expected; I remember hearing that a paymaster was engaged in paying some of the regiments at tho time the disaster hap­ pened. We at Vermilonville that night were enjoying a good rest after a day’s march. If my memory serves me right­ ly I was with the picket reserve; our pickets being thrown out three hun­ dred yards from tho camp. Wide awake, but very comfortable, we were talking of what this army had started out to do aud hadn’t done, when, about midnight, our attention waa attracted to a display of light from the steeple of the ohnrch in the village. It waa soon made clear that the spire was occupied by tbe Signal Corps, and that all this swinging to and fro of lanterns must mean that they were coixeraing with the signal officers Mp at Carrion Crow. We watched these proceedings for some time and speculated na to what they might mean. Gne man waa sure that something waa going on at the flout, and that we were being cal.ed for. Another thought that it waa "only those signal fellows nracticing." A third didn't pretend to know what it meant, and didn’t care, if they only wouldn’t have the bod manners at headquarters to disturb us at this unreasonable hoar and send ns “pumping off afoot.” But that was precisely what was about to happen. About one o'clock an order came out to me to withdraw the picket* and return to camp in all baste. I did ao, and found lhe whole camp in motion. Weitzel’s brigade was under arms and ready to move in ten minutce after the order came; the pickets fell into their place*, and tho column was soon stepping out at a s lively pace toward Carrion Crow.

"Why, the roses were little, too, you goose." Now, the roses were to bloom in June, and mamma's birthday came in June, bo guess what the children were going to give her? Roses from their own bushes; for one of the three was Effie's, one Johnny's, and one Baby's. For three whole days before the tenth the children kept awny from tbe front yard, and no on® whispered a breath of tho secret to anmmi, though it surely was daucing in Baby's dimples and peeping from her eyes. On the tenth A ant Betsy woke them very early, and as soon as they were dressed away they scampered down to the front yard. Effie's rose-bush was a elimbing one, twined about tbe library window, and it was covered with beautiful red roses. In a minute Effie had her apron full to over­ flowing. . Johnny’s roses were yellow, and the lit­ tle boy whistled as he piled them in his cap. Baby's rosebush was down by tho front gnte. nnd poor Baby stood before it with tremulous lips and tearful blue eyes, for not a rose was on it. Then Baby stooped aud peeped in where site bad seen a great green bad, and. sure enough, there flut­ tered a half-blown rose. She hurt her fin­ ger* very much, but she pulled it off aud • ran for the bouse. Mamina was sitting in a tow chair, with Johnny's roses in her hair and Effie's in her lap. Baby hesitated ia the cloorvuy with her single rose aud buret out crying. Mamma did not see her at all, she was ao busy thinking of the rosea. “Now I only want one more," she said. “I'd give anything in the world for a half-blown white rose, just one, to fasten at my throat." Then Baby, laughing throagh her tears, ran and put her rose in momma's outstretched hand; and oh! how glad she was to get it, for it was a beauti­ ful pure white.—Arthur'* Home Maga- STATIONS.

BASE BALL- A little after noon on Tuesday lost a little procession with a hilarious dispo­ sition might have been seen wending its way through the scorching sun in a southeasterly direction. A little after supper time the same procession, wear­ ing a decidedly different aspect, imbued strongly with an air of meekness and lowliness, wended its way home again. It was the Nashville base ball team and they started out with the noble inten­ tion to conquer or die. They didn’t do either, but they did make a good struggle for it The Kalamo grounds are located in a meadow about a quarter of a mile north of the village, and are in pretty good condition, but lack a catcher's fence, consequently a ground rule was made allowing only one base on a For National League games at De­ troit, June 90th and 25th, excursion tickets will be sold at one fare for .

Mead had closed up the road and when Wellman went to open the road, the former leveled a gun at the latter and pulled the trigger, bnt the gun was not discharged and Well­ man got away without blood-shed. Mead was arrested but got out of the scrape through the testimony of Rev. A. Witham, who testified that the gnn had no lock on. So far, so good; but now comes up something which puts an altogether different aspect on the affair. At the time of this trouble Rev. Witham and Mead were in close communion, but this communication has been recently dissolved by mutual consent, where­ fore it is affirmed that Mead and his wife say that there was a lock on the gun and that the reverend gentleman swore falsely when be testified there was not. It is claimed that Witham suggested to Mead to take the lock off bis gun and swear there was none on, saying that he himself get out of a similar scrape in a like manner some years previous, and his advice was ac­ cordingly acted upon. A,JI this having come to ' the ears of Wellman, be swore out a warrant for Witham, which was served on him Wednesday, by Sheriff Shriner, just as Witham was taking the train for Maple Rapids to attend camp-meeting. He was taken to the office of ’Squire Kenaston, at Hastings, and gave bonds in the sum of $500 to appear on Thursday of next week for examination. Mr. Witham is a Free Methodic min­ ister, who for the past year has held forth at Morgan, and is the same man who conducted the big camp-meeting north-west of town last fall. WE’VE HEARD IT WHISPERED That the Nashville ball club is winnmg a game this afternoon. That Frank Roberta’ show was in the village to-day, but must not be con­ fused with Frank A.

At the opera house on Wednesday evening last was gathered one of the largest and finest audiences ever col­ lected in that edifice. The occasion of the assemblage was the second com­ mencement of the village, at present under the able guidance of Prof. A. L. Bemis. The immense audience, as it arrived, was nicely ushered to .scats by a cordon of marshals consisting of Misses Alice McKinnis and Lois Mar­ shall and Messrs. George Selieck and Bertie Smith. Extra chairs had been placed in every available spot in the auditorium, but the capacity was not sufficient to accommodate the vast assemblage, even the gallery being filled to overflowing. The evening was oppressively sultry, and the air was kept endurable only by the rapid move­ ments of hundreds of fans, giving the room an animated appearance. The stage had been tastefully deco­ rated and the class motto: "Activity is life; idleness, dea^h,” in white letters on a black background, was suspended overhead. Seated on the platform were the graduates, Prof. Bemis, Prof. J.W. Ewing of Alma college, the musmians, and later in the evening, the familiar form of Prof. J. W. Roberts, of the Hastings schools, who, as preceptor in 1885 6-7 did such noble work in elevat­ ing our schools from the rut of retro­ gression into which they had fallen. The graduating class was comprised of Misses Lena M. Parrish and Mabel L. Selieck and Messrs. Clyde W. Francis and Myron J. Stanton, and was numer­ ically the same as that of '87. The first number on the program, a cornet solo by M. B. Powles, was un­ avoidably omitted. Rev. R. Bramfitt invoked the divine blessing, and was followed by a quartette, "The Lord is Great,” nicely rendered by the choir, composed as follows: Mrs. D. C. Mc­ Laren, soprano; Mrs. A. L. Bemis, alto; George Bell, tenor; A. L. Bemis, bass; Mrs. F. T. Boise, pianist. The salutatory, "The Student’s Aim,’’ by Myron Stanton, was a scholarly oration, well delivered, and gave evi­ dence of deep thought and careful preparation. Miss Lena Parrish had a bright essay on the topic ofc "One Hundred Years Ago and To-day.” She addressed her hearers in a clear, practical manner, which was well received and heartilyapplauded. . Miss Edna Truman then sang "The Watchers,” a touching song, and ren­ dered it in such a manner as to bring out to the full its feeling and pathos. “We build the Ladder by which we Rise,” by Miss Mabel Selieck, was an essay characteristic of the young lady, showing clear thought, well-expressed, and was thoroughly deserving of the hearty encomiums bestowed. - Clyde Francis, the valedictorian, won bright laurels by the masterly manner in which he handled his chosen topic, "Knowledge, the Foundation of True Greatness.” His language was excel­ lent, his sentences well rounded, and his eloquence a surprise to all present. The choir followed with a quartette, "Canadian Boat Song,” after which Prof. Ewing delivered an excellent address, giving the class some timely pointers which were well received. Prof. Bemis awarded the well-earned diplomas to the class with a few ap­ propriate remarks which were listened to with marked attention. The choir rendered "Touch us Gently, Time,” after which Rev. F. Hurd dis­ missed the audience with a benediction. The floral tributes to the graduates are deserving of special mention, being unusually profuse and elaborate. SUMMER. The^wallow the banks of the river is skimming, the daisies and buttercups gemming the leas, the robins and blue­ birds their choiala are hymning, and blossoms like snowflakes descend from the trees. The maiden is wearing a bright Dolly Varden, in which many conquests she’s certain to make; ’tis her season for flirting, and oft in the garden, when twilight is falling, she’s seen with a "rake.” Now opens for boyhood the glad swimming season, and home in the evening the urchin doth go with his shirt inside out, quite at loss for a reason, bis mother to satisfy why it is so.

"Well, if you didn’t lunch, some one has,” Mrs. Lee replied, "for I am several pies, a couple of cakes, a jar of cookies, a pitcher of milk and a bottle of wine short.” Tramps had entered Jthe bouse during the previous night, or early in the morning, and feasted Jupon the above mentioned luxuries. RAOEB FOR THE FOURTH. Arrangements are being made for a grand matinee of races to take place at the driving park on Wednesday, July 4th. Vermontville has decided not to celebrate. Hastings will not celebrate. Charlotte will not celebrate. Battle Creek will not celebrate. There is no reason why "Nashville cannot have an immense crowd here to witness the races, especially aa it has been decided to have admission to the driying park absolutely free. There will be five races, and the parses will aggregate $180. There will be a free-for-all, with a $75 purse; a stallion trot with a 840 purse; a 3-minute race for $30; a running race, free for all, for $25, and a green running race for $10, the latter without entrance The necessary amount of money has not yet been raised, but enough has been pledged to make the matinee a certain thing, and it is the duty of opr people to fill up the lacking amount with a rush. The program is not fully arranged, but will be given in our next issue. Of course there will be bowery dances, peanut stands and the other adjuncts of a regular 4th of July celebration, without the procession, speeches, fire­ works, etc., but with the liberal purses offered the races will be a feature well worth coming to see.

In other words, the waists have the hour-glass outlines demanded by present notions of syunuetry. while the arrangement of the 1<mw$ portions of the robe conform nearly enough to the ancient modes. In tlie matter of the humanl form feminine, a dressmaker of this city’declures she lias made the interesting dis­ covery that women are both taller and bigger than they were some quarter of a century ago. She bases her belief on tin* measurements kept bv her nfothi-r nud herself in the way of busi­ ness during a long stretch of years. Twenty or twenty-five years ago, ac­ cording to this authority, the average waist of. u young ’ woman was twenty inches, while eighteen was a “genteel" size, and some went down to seventeen, sixteen and even fifteen inches. Quite a buxom matron generally measured twenty-one inches. But, notwithstanding the con­ tinual cry of mankind about tightlacing, wo have changed all that. Girls, ncwmlnys, of twenty or two-andtwenty years old, average waists about twenty-three inches, while, if other­ wise projiortioncd, they are rather proud of twenty-five and twenty-six, or even more. This olwerving dressmaker also assures us that women are taller by two inches than their grandmothers were. I am told, also, that it is a fact that the Americans are tho biggest people in the world, taking the average, with the single exception of the Pata­ gonians. However superior to the vanities and follies of our ancestors we may imagine ourselves to be growing in*these prac­ tical, matter-of-fact days, I fear that we shall never jieratiade’ ourselves to re­ nounce all attempts to improve u]»on Dame Nature iu the matter of personal appearance. Not only are we invited nowadays to "add a cubit Jo our stature,” when necessary, by means of artfully contrived cork heels" worn in­ side the boots, but we are actually called upon to correct such defects as we may Ixdieve to exist in the shape of our very features themselves. I saw in the office of an expert surgeon on ap­ paratus that he had made for the good of a particular patient, an apparatus for straightening a crooked nose. It consists of a skufi can, to which is at­ tached a machine which is able to apply the desired amount of pressure to the “wrong” side of a crooked nose, and so to persuade th# refractory organ to oc­ cupy its proper position in the middle of its owner’s face. At this rate, I am afraid that Hamlet's bitter taunt, “God hath given you one face, and you make yourself another," is likely in tho future to apply more literally than was cate regunfiug the by tills route.

Tbe simple mentiob of Blaine’s name, in tbe Chicago convention yesterday set the convention wild. Thousand* of flags waved and thousands of throats cbeerd themselves hoarse. That Blaine the absent leader, u> the real choice of the convention—whether be be Domi­ nated or not—is as certain as that the sun shines. Tbe Emperor Frederick was an ex­ perienced soldier. As a soldier be was modest Tbe young emperor is an un­ tried soldier, and it is not surprising that there u a boasting tone of militar­ ism about his addressee to the army and navy. But this may be mere juvenility. Tho important thing is how he depends on Bismark, who wantsno war. The Mormons are reported to have ( completed their negotiations for the purchase of four hundred thousand acres of land in the state Chihuahua, in Mexico, with a view to establish a Mormon settlement in That state. If they undertake to carry polygamy with them, they are likely to get into some serious difficulties with the govern­ ment of that state. Lincoln was a rail-splitter, Grant *' tanner, and Garfield a mule-driver on the tow-path. Several of tbe presi­ dents! candidates now before the Chi­ cago convention have a similar record' ‘to show for their boyhood days.

The passenger steamer Vanraalte was run into by a barge and sunk Sat­ urday night, at Muskegon. The fifty passengers and crew were saved. In handling a refractory colt in Corn­ stock, Kalamazoo county, Saturday, Fred Billington was dragged upon the railroad track and struck by a train, hurting him badly. There was a severe raiq and. hall storm at Reed City Tuesday, during which a child named Brock was struck by lightning and probably fatally in­ jured. A bouse was also struck.

Monday evening the news flashed over tbe wire* from Cincinnati, which ^•eat a thunderbolt into Hastings that •tertied the oldest moss-bound resi­ dent. 'Twas to the effect that Haatinga Division, No. 19, Uniformed Rank K sight* of PythiM, had won the first price and championship of the world, in Lhe competitive drill at Cincinnati; on a score of 98.54 out of a possible 100. Then the old town went wild, anvils were fired and processions with tin horns, pans and kazoos paraded the streets moat all night. Arrangements were made for hold­ ing a jubilee, and Tuesday afternoon, in response to an invitation to be pres­ ent, we arrived at the city to find tlie Land out, the Uniformed Knights out, the broom brigade out, everybody out, —wild with enthusiasm; various busi­ ness houses profusely decorated with national emblems, the tri colors of the 'Order, and tbe celebration in full blast. A banquet in honor of the victors -was held at the Hastings House in th e the hotel to overflowing. The evergeuial Dick Messer was here, thetu, everywhere, endeavoring to bring order but of chaos. Most of tbe fraternity acted as though it was an open question whether they were on earth or in - . paradise. Tbe bafiqnet. prepared by and under ’’the supervision of tbe ladies of the or­ der, waa spread in the large and hand­ some dining hall of tbe Hastings House. It was a royal feast, fit for a king. A profusion of beautiful flowers and ' plants decorated and made fragrant the banqueting hall. The champion drill corps and invited guests to tbe number of 250 did justice to tbe rich viands, whilst Lee’s full orchestra played do­ ligbtful music in an adjoining room, and then came tbe customary “feast of . reason and flow of soul." Hun. C. H. VanArman presided as 'toast-master, in an accomplished and dignified manner. He gave the drill co4m a hearty and most eloquent welcome home, and by his honorable and witty introduction of sentiments, won tbe plaudits of tlie entire assem­ blage. We have attended many ban­ quets and have no hesitancy in pro­ nouncing Mr. Van Arman the ideal -toast-master. Tbe. toasts were suitable "to the occasion and handled with promptness and ability. THE TOASTS. "“Michigan," tbe fairest queen in the sisterhood of states, was responded to by Orno Strong. Comments are not in order. “Preparing for tho Drill" was the -subject assigned to Sir Kt. D. S. Good­ year, who briefly spoke of the discour­ agements and trials which attended -the organization of the drill corps. “The Grand Parade" was minutely -described by Grand Chancellor P. T. Colgrove in his usual eloquent manner. Phil, always has a knack of getting there iu a happy way that makes glad the boys. “Brigadier Gen. H. F. Hastings," according to Sir Kt. F. R. Timmerman, had stood by his namesake in all of its contests. He had a fatherly feeling for Hastings division that extended clear down to bis pocket book. "The Mascot,” Col. E. Y. Hogle ex plained, is anything that brings success ■or good Inck, and ottlmes changes ap­ parent defeat into victory. Never within the history of mascots has there been one who has won tbe world-wide reputation paralleling that of our little mascot, Eddie Cole. He is the pet of • the brigade, the pride of the regiment And love of tbe division. “From Major to Private,’’ Ex-Major F. G. Goodyear said, was a delicate •abject for him to handle. He was proud when tbe title of Major was conferred upon him ; prouder yet when his brother Knights presented him with that beautiful sword, but proudest when he resigned his commission, that «h« might walk shoulder to shonlder 'with tbe boys in their victorious con­ test. “The Rank and Filo of Hastings Drill Corps" wm responded to by Capt. A. D. Niskern, who paid a fine tribute to bis company without any reference to himself. He oommeuded tbe di»cipline, conduct and spirit of his men, which brought them sacoeas- at Cincin­ nati, characterizing his corps as tbe fioeM, lM>dy of drilled men be had ever seen. It wm sot nacaaaary for him to apeak of bi# company,—it had spoken in words that were heard from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Capt. Niskcro wm the admired of all admirers, and the audience at the doss of his toast, *rwe and lustily cheered him. *'We’re All Right" wm the enthusiA<»c eong of Sir Kt. A. H. Johnson. 'The “silver-tongued" editor waa in•c’ined to be humorous and emphasized each point of his toast with “we’re all ■JoM B.tow tb. Drill.” “The Drill Corps Abroad," Sir Kt. Sylvester G reuse! sard, reflected credit upon HMtings- The fame of the divis­ ion had proceeded it, and tlie deport­ ment and conduct of each member at Cincinnati commanded the respect and admiration of all. u0ur Captain," was the sentiment given Str Kt. W. H. Power*, who spoke highly and enthnsiMtically of the pop­ ular commander. Everything depend­ ed upon such an officer, and there wm not one at Cincinnati who made the bngtrt record that Captain Niskern did. “Cincinnati," the last toMt was giv­ en by Sir Kt. W. R. Cook, who referred to the situation and early history of Cincinnati. The mayor kindly gave the city to the boys, who, through some mistake, were afterwards required to pay for it. The climate of Cincinnati wm all that could be desired—tbe speaker had never heard of but one hotter place; nevertheless Cincinnati would, on account of onr glorious vic­ tory, be ever associated with pleasant memories. During tbe rendering of the toasts Sir Kt. Timmerman, assisted by Mrs. Timmermih, Dr. and Mra. Barber, sang two songs composed expressly for tbe occassion by Mrs. Timmerman, and Hit to mnsic to tbe air of “Michigan, My Michigan," and “Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the Boys are Marching." And thus closed one of the finest banquets ever held in HMtings, if not in western Michigan. PYTHIAN POINTS. Gen. Hastings made the winners n present of $100. “What’s the matter with Michigan-?" “She’s all right!" Eddie Cole, the 7-year-old mascot, took the persimmons. He is the envy of every kid in Hastings. Sir Kt. M. L. Cook was obliged to be absent from tbe banquet ou account of a billions attack. We all missed him. Sir Kts. Colgrove lost his helmet, and Barber fell down during tlie drill, but the admirable presence of mind dis­ played by each prevented break or bad score. In the parade which was the largest and grandest ever seen in Cincinnati, (80,000 Knights were in line) Col. E. Y. Hogle, by the courtesy of Gen. Hast­ ings, had command of the brigade. giace and native ARCAINS! Dry Goods, Boots, Shoes, FOURTH OF JULY.

An excess of rain is reported al Washington, from Arkansas. Louisiana and MlMissippi. which has been unfavorable to the cotton crop. In the west portion of the cotton region less rtdn and clear weather would, doubtless, benefit the growing orops. while in tho cast portion, in­ cluding Alabama.

Indiana, and Con­ necticut more rain is needed, while gener­ ally throughout tho Middle Atlantic and New England States tho weather of tho post week haa Improved the cfop conditions. Harvest­ ing is in progress in Tennessee and Ken­ tucky. where the weather conditions have been favorable for wheat and corn, but un­ favorable for grass.

HARBIBON 4 MORTON. The ticket nominated by the Repub­ licans at Chicago, ia undoubtedly the strongest combination that has been before the people since the time of Lincoln. There is great political wis­ dom in the nomination of Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana. Chosen from a list of most excellent candidates he is unquestionably the best man the con­ vention could haye selected. His rec­ ord is without spot or stain. The republican nominee is a man of high character, of excellent abilities and a leader of the bar in Indiana. He was a brave soldierand a dilligent sen­ ator, and since the death of Mr. Morton he haa been the republican chief in the state. He was strongly urged as a candidate who would make Indiana sore for tho republicans, and that he will carry that democratic stronghold is conceded, even by the thinking democrat. No man is more beloved in that state than Gen Harrison, ’it is extremely desirable that Indiana should be carried by the republican party. The nomination of Harrison will not only make this possible, but certain. The convention at St. Louis passed by Indiana, which had a prominent candi­ date for Vice-President in Governor Gray, and took up Thurman, of Ohio. That was a political blunder by which the iepublican party will profit. Har­ rison will rescue Indiana. Leyi P. Morton, of New York, adds strength to the ticket. Hia is an hon­ orable public record, and like his asso­ ciate, be is a man of sterling and solid personal worth. His great popularity will make New York a hotly contested battle field. While New York is abso­ lutely indispensible to the success of Cleveland and Thurman, its loss would by no means deprive the republicans of their chances or render the fight hope­ less for them. They won the election of 1868 without New York, and might be able to do it again. Underlying this all is the fact that Gen. Harrison like Gen. Garfield is an Ohio man, a native of the Buckeye state, and that Morton, like Arthur, the presidential nominee of the ticket of 1880, is a New Yorker. Indeed, the republican ticket of 1888 has many points of resemblance to the republican ticket of 1880, and >.s all democrats well remember, the latter won. In nominating Harrison and Morton the republicans have accomplished not only a shrewd, but noble work, that anticipates a republican triumph in November. Indiana and New York are pivotal states, and no ticket that could have been nominated would have made them safer for the Republican column than that of Hamson and Morton. It is a ticket that means victory. Some one remarks that “the devil soon gets into idle people.” .But, if the devil gets into them, they surely can’t be unoccupied. Pure and undefiled religion will go a long way toward making a man's politics pure, but poli­ tics as a purifier of religion is no good. This campaign will be one of argu­ ments. Voters will be asked to con­ sider the interests of the country, and to vote for American rather than Brit­ ish interests. If the Democrats suppose that it ia to be a one-aided fight, let them nurse their delusion as long astbey can. The more one studies the earthly life of Christ the more will be be impressed with the moral grandeur and glory of that life. One and but one such life was ever lived on earth. One and but one such Teacher ever appeared among men. We must recognize the divine element in the life of Jesus of Nazareth before we can explain his life. Judging from the talk in the Demo­ cratic papers, one would conclude that Grover Cleveland is by no means the conspicuous figure in the Democratic ticket for President and Vice-Presi­ dent. Ex-Senator Thurman is the can­ didate that calls forth the most glorifi­ cation. The tail of the kite seems to be the larger part of it. ' The venerable Neal-Dow announced that the temperance plank in the Re­ publican platform is a mere sham. He is bound to say so, for the reason that bis party has a candidate of its own. But we shall be much amazed if the temperance plank in the republican platform is not as sincere as the wo­ man-suffrage plank in the prohibition platform. Does the young man loaf, who persists in being a loafer, reflect how much less it would cost to be a decent, respectable man! Does he imagine that loafensm is more economic than gentility? Any­ body can be a gentleman if he choose* to be, without much cost, but it is very expensive to be a loafer.

Mr. Mills (TsX.) called attention" to the fact that potatoes were specifically provide^ for in another part of the bill The clause, ho contended wus in the Inter­ est of the eoiiHumlng classes, and he queried where tho Republican* would be willing to reduce taxation. Mr. Brumm (Pa.) sug­ gested that they wore res«dy to reduce in­ ternal taxes, and Mr. Mills replied: "Yos, ynu want free whisky. You do not •ay in your platform that you want to re­ duce the duties oil Huger end rieq. The con­ vention has overruled what you have con­ tended for. Yoot-, party command* you tp go for free whisky.

We d«mnnd n reduction on the thing* which enter into consumption a* neccaaorle*. and demand that taxes shall remain on whisky as they are to-day.” Mr. J. D. Taylor, of Ohio, challenged ths statement thm the Republican party was in favor of free whisky. All classes of the Re­ publican party were in favor of abolishing internal taxes because they believed it to be unwise as a system. Under the elreumstan e*. n man who wonkl coldly and with his judg.u'nt in hl* hand assert that the Bcpubhci.n party was In favor of free whis­ ky might bo developed, according to the Darwinian theory, four countless cycles of time, without mounting intellectually to the position of a breret as*. (Laughter and ap­ plause on the Repobllcaa side.) Mr. Mills said he was not a*t»;d*hed nt the teodersoM of the gentlemen on this queazLioi\ It won well known that tho majority of ttradBcpubllcan party was opposed to the extreme position which the Republicans had taken at Chicago.’ It was well known that the gentleman from Perftisylvania (Mr. Kelley) represented a minority, and when I the convention at Chicago was lashed und I scourged to take a position for free whisky | no one sooner than the gentleman from Pennsylvania sent congratulations to tho convuntion for coming to the heroic stand which he hod occupied. For the first Umo at Chicago had the Republican party come boldly and taken thef position before the American people in favor of keeping the taxes on the necessities of life, and de­ manding that the Treasury should tx: emp­ tied by taking the tax off whisky. That wus the position that party had taken badore tho American people, and no amount of dis­ claiming would convince the people that that partr. J in power, would not take the tax off whisky and leave it on every article of necessity. (Applause on Democrutlo ■ide.] Mr. Kelley (Pm) denied that he was in favor of free whisky. He advocated the rcr peal of the war taxes which Jefferson had denounced as an infernal system. He had demanded that the Democrat* carry out their platform of 1884. which promised ua abolition of the internal taxes. The gentle­ man from Texas (Mills) could not deny that it whs the Democratic promise in ISttf to the tobacco growers, the fruit growers, and the distillers of the South that they should be relieved from national surveilnneo and supervision. He hud asked that this great source of revenue be remitted to the people of the Slates, and under State law. to the municipalities of the State; and those gov­ ernments which bore tho burden of crime and vice and insanity should have whatever revenue might be justly derived from a source so fruitful ofcrime and misery as tho whisky business. Mr. Splnola (N. Y.) said a party should bo judged by its nets; and it was stated in a newspaper that 81.250 extra barrels of boor bad been consumed in Chicago during the Msalon* of the convention. [Laughter.] That was a pretty strong .piece of prima facie evidence that the Republicans were in favor of free rum. Mr. Owen (Ind.) suggested that the beer waa Intended for vUiting Democrats, but Mr. Splnola denied that Democrat* went to such place*. Mr. Reed (Me.) thought that the gentle­ man from Texas did not mean to be be lived when he said that the Republican party waa for free whisky, because the gentleman knew that there would not be enough Dem­ ocrats left t® make up an electoral ticket in half the State* of the Union if they had con­ fidence in hi* statement. (Laughter.] The gentlemui knew that the position ot the Republican party on this subject waa too simple to be turned in this way; but if the Democratic party should ever commence a campaign without'. a false statement it* . own friends would not know 1L What the convention had said was that after having tried every other method of reducing taxes consistent with the maintenance ot the system ot pro­ tection. if the Republican* hod to choose be­ tween Internal taxes and the protective sys­ tem. they would stand by the systeip of pro­ tection for American industries. The Legis­ lature of Virginia, which was two-thirds Democratic, had adopted a resolution de­ claring It to be the du tv of Congress to se­ cure the repeal ot the internal revenue sys­ tem. Was the Democratic Legi*laiurc of Virginia in favor of free whisky? No Demo­ crat had been elected in Tennessee who was not pledged to use hi* best effort* to secure the repeal of Internal taxes. Was the Demo­ cratic party Of Tennessee In favor of tree whisky? Mr. Weaver flow*) criticised the internal­ revenue plank of the Chicago platform, and declared that the issue could uot be shirked and that there could bo no shuffling. "I am a Democrat." interrupted Mr. Wise (Va.). "and I urn in favor of the repeal of the tobacco tax." (Applause on the Republican side.] Mr. Weaver—“This bill provide* for a re­ duction of that tax: but I say to the gentle­ man from Virginia that his-posillon Ln favor of the repeal of the internal-revenue taxes is not the position of this bill."

At hom'e’it was hidden away under the bureau, and its presence was kept a sacred secret. Most any sort of a string would do for a fish-line, anil the old hunter who once gave me two bullets for sinkers is remembered with deepest gratitude to this day. When hook axyl Hue and sinkers were wound upon a maple chip aud tucked away to wait for the fishing season, it was a redletter day. I would have taken a dozen of the worst lickings a boy could re­ ceive rather than give up the treasure, and, had a stranger come along and offered to trade me a horse for the outfi>, I should have promptly refused his otter. When we went to fish in a creek which was as much im two feet <leef» in Hjsita, and which a boy could liardly jump across in places, it was a mighty river to me, lieside which the discoveries of Hendrick Hudson and De Soto were bantam chickens. There were wholes in there, ut}d our only fear was that one of them would nab our angleworm and break the hook.- There were sharks which might seize us if we waded over a riffle ankh* deep, and we had heard of the devil-fish which lurks under the flood-wood u niting for a barefooted boy to come along with his dinner. ’True, we never encountered any of these monsters of the deep, and that was the reason why we got safely hack home, and why mother heaved a great-sigh of satisfaction, and said: “So you ore home! ‘Well, I never, never expected to see you again!" A laiy's way of fishiug is the liest way ever invented. They may bring out their fancy rods, reels, flies, and patent hooks, but the lioy who sticks to the home-made fish-pole, the old-fashioned hook, and the twine fish-line rubbed down with lieeswax isn't going to be left very fur behind. The first we used to pull out—yum! Nowadays those you don’t catch are the largest. A quarter of a century ago things were different. Of course we had some big bites—awful bites—regu­ lar old monsters, but we didn’t lie about the size of the biters. We never put one down at over a hundred pounds, though we could have doubled the weight and found ready lielievers. In those days noliody ever fished without spitting ou his bait. If he wanted to catch an awful big fish he spit twice. There were times when spitting on the bait didn’t bring a bite, but no boy ever got diseouragml over that. He hadn't given just the right pucker to his mouth, or his hook didn’t hang right, or the sky was too bright or too cloudy. In the way-back time a fishing exeursion was set down fora month ahead, and it dejiended on how well we got along with the potato** and com. We got our outfit readv a fortnight ahead of time. We limited out the liest spot for fish-worms, planned every detail over and over again, and dreamed of creeks und fish and fish-hooks right aloug every night.

WET night was over General Cas­ ey’s division when U attained to its ad­ vanced position at Seven Pines; the torrents of Virginia skies spared forth if in special fury upon the Northern invaders. But for the tri­ umphs of the advance from Yorktown, “blue" indeed would have been the boys in blue; ouly the confidence in hope of speedy and complete vanquishment of the Confederate forces then, concentrating for a desperate defense of the Southern capital wrought a marked buoyancy of spirit throughout the line after the weary nwrehes and deciminating combats which marked the road to the Chickahominv. At some distance from the nearest bivouac, bnt within the line of out­ posts, a solitary figure stood beneath a tree, and not till a hand reached forth from the rainy gloom and firmly grasped his arm was he aware of an­ other human presence. “Smiley?” “Is it you, Lieutenant ?" exclaimed the soldier, suppressed! y and with a start “Yes.

Now just let me give you a case'in point. Old Joe Brown wanted to build a bridge across Puddle Pond, and I made a big speech in favor of the improve­ ment, which I told the Legislature was in tho interest of the laboring classes; that it would fours to the welfare of the agricultural population, and that, in short, it was demanded by every right-minded man who had the welfare and prosperity of the country at heart. Well, what then? Why. Bill Jones— Bill is ono of my constituents, you know—came and said that a bridge over that pond would scare his. ducks, and he wanted me to stop it. Then I had to go to work and prepare another speech, in which I said that from ad­ ditional information just received, I found that the proposed bridge was a move on the part of a capitalist to rob the laboring classes of their rights; that it would be the death knell of the farm­ er, and that no one who loved his coun­ toy could vote for it.

' Cost of .Small* Pox. Ono of tho favorite statements of *ho anti-vaccinationists is that medical men support vaccination because thev profit by performing the operation, font the London Lancet points out that the vac­ cination fee is a mere pittance compared with that for attendance on small-pox cases, which tho neglect of vaccination and revaccination infallibly bring to tho profession. “Parents, in London espe­ cially, just now know something of the money cost of a virulently infections disease in the family—to say nothing of death risks; 1'50 sterling a case, in­ cluding nursing, disinfection, loss of business, destruction of bedding, etc., is a moderate estimate." Tho average cost of the 8,628 cases in Illinois dur­ ing the last epidemic, 1881-83, was more than double this amount—tho gross cost amounting tn $4,403,968.43, which Mi an average of $510.42 for each cas?.* Illinois doctors could give a more crushing answer to the anti-vac­ cinationists than that of the Lancet. Attendance upon a small-pox case is sufficient to destroy a physician's prac­ tice—at least for the time being. Pru­ dent family physicians who have a due regard for their incomes insist on vac­ cination so that they may not be culled on to treat small-pox. How They Coart in Mexico. Going along the streets of Mexico City one day I saw a young man flip­ ping hia fingers grotesquely, as though playing an imaginary tattoo in Gio air. I looked all around, but couldn't see anything. The next day I saw him at it again, gazing skyward all the time. I went into the hotel and one of my friends asked me if I hod seen that young fellow yet who was courting that young girl. I Jell at once, and looking out I saw a girl in a thirdstory window looking down at him and doing the tattoo act also. Said my friend: “This business has been going on for two years, and neither of them has spoken a word." It was so. They were courting. That’s the way thev do it down there. It waa a flirtation, long protracted, but whether the pantomime was translatable into language I nm aminer. How It Might Be, Sometimes.

The first congregation was organized in /1<J92 in the Quaker City, and wor­ shiped in the Barbadoes warehouse corner of Second and Chestnut streets, until 1704, when it erected its first church on the corner ol-Market and Bank streets. It waa enlarged, rebuilt, and. abandoned in .1820, after it had Iwn occupied for 110 years, when the congregation rejnm-ed to the coiumodious church on Washington Square, in which the new and old school assem­ blies united in 187L The firat Presby­ terian minister was Rev. F. Makemie, who organized the congregation, and Rev. J. Andrews was ordained and in­ stalled the first pastor in 1701. The first presbytery was organised in 1706 with seven pastors. It main­ tained its organization until 1716, when it constituted itself into a synod, which ■was divided into presbyteries in differ­ ent parts of its territory, extendingalong the Atlantic slop' from Long^ Island to Virginia. In 1788 the synod transformed itself into a general as­ sembly, and its first meeting took placeon the* 21st of May. in the Second Preabyterian church in Philadelphia. The meeting wax opened by Dr. John With­ erspoon, and the assembly consisted of twenty-two ministers and ten elders. Dr. John Rogers, of New York, waa chosen moderator, and its sessions con­ tinued five days. The progress of the church in two hundred years is indicated by the fol­ lowing statistical statement:' In 1690 it ha<l ten ministers and 1,000 commu­ nicants; in 1789 it had 177 ministers, and about 18,000 communicants, and in 1888 it has 6,654 ministers and 679,885communicants.

Never in the history of Western railroads has such a disastrous record been made by a big railway corpora­ tion in so short a time.

Since the beginning of 1883 its dividend rate has been reduced from 8 to 4 per cent., and even the 4 per cenL has $ot boon earned by many hundred thousand dollars.

The taming of jackals, he says, presents no particular difficulty, and many attempts to domesticate wolves have lieen suc­ cessfully made in recent times.

The Soldier's Life. BY JAMES FRANKLIN FITTS. So runs tho song the “Bohemian Kx Girl,” and here the voice of poetry is _ -5* the voice of truth. For the life of the soldier embraces all things of an interesting and exciting nature. If you want to hear of tragedy, of strong dramatic situations, of hair­ breadth escapes, of exciting incidents, of comic happenings, get some veteran of half a dozen active campaigns to sit down with you for an hour, and he will tell vou all these things naturally and truthfully out of his own great volume of experience. For more than twenty years men have been writing about the great war, and not flic half, no, not the tenth, has been told. The story of the campaigns’ the battles and - the expeditions em­ braces-but a fraction of it. To have tire strong light that will make it plain what war really is thrown upon those acenes, we must road the individual experience of the soldiers. “Record of the One Hundred and Four­ teenth Regiment, N. Y. S. V—Where It Went, What It Saw. and What It Did," written by our assistant surgeon, Harris H. Beecher, a book dear to the hearts of the survivors. While our regiment never claimed any greater distinction than to be one of the best that the Empire State sent out, we feel the pride that veterans ought to feel in their own organization. in pointing to its record. Including recruita, it hud first and last 1,113 men, of whom 431 were killed or wounded in action, 174 died of d'sease, 250 were discharged in hospital, and a remnant of about 250 returned home after almost three yean’ •errice. Many other regiments can make as good an exhibit, do doubt, and I wish that the comrades might be in­ duced to send the like interesting fig­ ures relating to their own commands. Our industrious historian (who still survives, and is gratefully remembered by all of us for his liberality in the matter of quinine, as well ns for his this volume of five hundred and eightytwo pages an appendix, “containing the Dame, rank and military record of every man who was ever connected with the- One Hundred and Fourteenth Regiment, New York State Volunteers.” Think of it! the military historv, in brief, of one thousand one hundred and thirteen Union soldiers! In turning over these deeply interesting pages I find innumerable characteristic inci­ dents which I well remember, and some that I had forgotten. But it is all truth; it ia a succession of life-like photo­ graph* of the war. I propose to give, the readers of these “War Memories" shall in each instance give the real name of the comrade to whom tho ad­ venture relates, for it is all highly lionor»L’e. ijid *o one will be shamed by ne of the soldiers whom kre atill living, and mav daylight, as we still received no orders., I took the responsibility, as the senior officer of our detachment, of ordering it back to our rifle-pits. The order was rather reluctantly obeyed, as the ene­ my’s sharp-shooters were very alert and watchful; five or six of the men did not hour it, and lay in their concealment all day, till darkness came again. Ono after another the soldiers sprung out of the ditch and swiftly “legged it" up the bank and over our works. There wasn't much dignity about it, bub it was n situation where it was legs or nothing. You could hear the bullets strike the the logs and rocks, and several of the men were wounded. Had the hour been brood daylight, not a man of us could have escaped. I believe that Lieutenant Stafford and myself came in lost. Just ahead of him, I gained the top of the ascent find jumped over into ono of the rifle-pits, unharmed. I looked up and saw him in the act of springing down. At that instant the bullet of tiro sliarp-shooter struck him and tumbled him helpless below. Lieutant Stafford is still living, and has served a term in the Legislature of New York. The final month’s service of Joseph G. Washburn, first sergeant of the same company, will illustrate the pluok and tenacity .of the infantry that fought with Sheridan in the Shenandoah Val­ iev. At Winchester, September 19, Washburn was wounded in the arm, tliigh, and Hhoulder. Just one month later, Octolier 19, camo the battle of Cedar Creek, and there was Sergeant Washburn, at tho right of his company, disdaining to be in the hospital at such a time. There was never greater hero-,, ism than filled the ranks of onr volun­ teer armies, of which this example was a fair specimen. He was mortally wounded in the morning and never saw another sunrise. There were some thousands of sol­ diers who were lout during the war. The word “missing" does not describe their fate. The man reported as ‘“miss­ ing" usually turns up after an engage­ ment or march; he has lagged, or got demoralized and gone to the rear, or has found shelter somewhere after be­ ing wounded. But the soldier who is lost disappears in some unknown way and is never again heard of. Corporal Thomas Breed, of the same company, wm one of these. In the latter part of July, 1864, the Sixth Corps and part of the Nineteenth were falling back from Snicker's Ferry on the Shen­ andoah, through the ’Gap, toward Washington. The weather wm hot, wc* were unmercifully marched twenty miles a day, and the men suffered se­ verely. Mosby's guerrillas, with blue overcoats on, were hanging about the flankn and rear of the columns day and night, and took a number of stragglers. On the 22d, lietween Leesburg and Drainesville, Corporal Breed fell out and wm never again seen by his comrades or heard of bv them. It wm of -course conjectured that he had l»een surprised by the guerrillas, and cither killed or sent to Libby Prison; but that was mere guess; his disapearanoe was both sudden and entirely unaccounted for. Aftor the war there were rumors that Went; but thev were only rumors, nev­ er verified. He was one of many lost eoldlers. And yet the man may be alive some­ where to-day; he may read this brief account of himself in print. Stranger things have happened than that Corpo­ ral Breed may yet tell in the “War Memories" a wonderful story of his ad­ ventures. The hard fate of Private Albert Avery, of this company, was that of many of the men who enlisted for regi­ ments in the field in the fall of 1864, and reached the front just in time to receive a fiery baptism. Our regiment had a number of such. This man en­ listed August 31; he first reported to his company October 16; just three N reading the war Ledger, xnr mind scenes of danger and death, and fastens upon one, the most solemn and awful to me, that camermder my observation auriDff those try ita g times.

Fourteen stakes planted firmly in the ground, fourteen men tied to those stakes, four­ teen white pine coffins, one behind each stake; a white handkerchief tied over each man’s face; tho provost guard drawn up in front of the victims, and twenty thousand soldiers massed in the valley to witness the execution. I sou the “guard make ready, the.commandant lowers a handkerchief—-a rattle of musketry. I see some of the victims shrink, while others stand bolt up­ right. I see the dirt fly up in the rear of tire condemned men, and I know some of tho guard have missed purposely; the doctors pass along the line of the condemned and feel of their pulse. The rear rank of the guard ad­ vance to within a few feet of the vic­ tims, single out certain individuals, make ready and Arc. No missing this time; the heads of the remaining vic­ tims fall forward, tho ghastly scene is over. I wondered then,'! wonder now, if such n sacrifice was necessary. We start back to camp, our heads bowed down by the awful scene we had' just witnessed. No one spoke for some time, when a fellow by the name of Dave Defriese says: “Boys, I'll bet we have to git out here in less than three days." “Why?" some one asked. “Be­ cause leaders that will have men treated that way will never prosper." Sure enough, it was not very many days be­ fore Sherman flanked ns out of that notition and wc commenced falling back toward Atlanta.

The slaves are needed to buy ivory with; then more slaves,have to be stolen to carry it So living man him­ self "has become the sommcrcial cur­ rency of Africa. j It is quite a mistake to imagine that ' slave-hunting is a thing of the past On the contrary, the Arabs have quite I recently become bolder than ever. Manx at home imagine that the death­ knell of slavery was struck with the events which followed the death of Livingston. In the great explorer's time we heard much of Slavery; we were appealed to; the Government busied itself; something was really done. But the wail is already forgot­ ten, and England bears little now of the open sore of the world. But the tragedy I have alluded to is repeated t every year and every ’- month—witness such recent atrocities as those of the upper Congo,-of toe Kassai and San­ kara region described by Wissman, and of the Welk-Makua district referred to by Van Dele. It was but the other day that an explorer crossing from Lake Nyossa to Lake Tanganyika saw the whole southern end of Tanganyika peopled with large and prosperous villages. The next to follow him found not a solitary human being —nothing but burned homes and bleaching skeletons. It was but yes­ terday—the close of 1887—that the Arabs at the north end of Lake Nyassa, after destroying fourteen villages with many of their inhabitants, pursued the population of one village into a patch of tall dry grass, set it on fire sur­ rounded it, and slew with the bullet and the spear those who crawled out from the more merciful flames. The Wa-Nkcnde tribe, to which these j»eople belonged, were, until this event, one of toe most prosperous tribes in East Central Africa They occupied a country of exceptional fertility and beauty. Three rivers, which never failed in the severest drouth run through their territory, and their crops were the richest and most varied in the country. They possessed herds of cattle and goats; they fished in toe lake with Dets; they wrought iron in­ to many-patterned spear-heads with exceptional ingenuity aud skill; and that even artistic taste had begun to develop among them was evident from the ornamental work upon their huts, which were themselves unique in Africa fur clever construction and beauty of design. This people, in short, by their owu inherent ability and the natural resources of their country were on the* high road to civilization. Jas. Tyndall, a workman upon J. W.

CUBTIM. » CBtcIoO WKwa.] One may look In vain for the picturesque tn the arcnltocturo of the residence or buslnne* portion of Pstcrsburg. No buildings are notabfc for originality of conception, nor has there been any attempt to introduce ♦aricty. One building follows tho other, mile after mile along the broad streets, all of tiiem constructed on th* sumo pattern and of the sam- height. The eye is no­ where gratified either by artistic groupings or novel effects. The entire city is n mo­ notony of five or six story stuccoed |>alaees. or apartment houses, of enprmous sise. no distinction between those that are used for dwellings and those for business purposes. I rule for the banker to live in the apartments above his counting-house, for the lawyer to rent the ground floor of his residence for a shop.* and for the merchant to live under tbe same roof With his stock of goods. There are one or two exceptions to the monotony of architecture. One is what is known aa the marble palace, al­ though there is very little marble about it. scarcely enough to justify the name. It was erected by Catherine the Groat for one of her lovers In 1770. but subsequently tell ihto the possession of the Grand Duke Constantinq. the brotfler of the late exar. whose widow still resides there and who is famous for the value of her jewels. It ia an impos­ ing building of granite and iron, surrounded by beautiful and extensive grounds, the roof suffered for 11. -One of his edicts was that whenever be paas'-d along the street every one should stop, nnd. turning their faces toward him. bow. .their beads till ho went by. Ho in­ vented forms of dress for the |»)opte. and compelled everybody to adopt them. He wuntd send women from his bails to prison because their gowns were not cut to suit him. If he thought a woman appeared in his presence too plainly dressed he would punish her. or if bn considered another too richly druaaed. »he would go to prison for that offense. As he was seldom in the same mood, and a* what pleased him one day would throw him into a furious passion on the next, the lords and ladies of his court were continually in a state of painful uncer­ tainty, whether they would spend the next day or month of their lives in a palaoe or a prison. One evening at a ball ho saw a gentleman whose stylo ot droasing his hair did not please him. so Paul called an officer and sent tho poor victim to a l»nrber with orders to have him brought back with his head shared. He issued an edict setting forth the amount “of money traveler* might carry with them when they left Husain. The or­ dinary man might take with him 200 rubles or so. according to the length ot time he waa to be away; the noble* might have a little more, say five hundred or a thou*and rubles, while the princes might take two ar three thousand ia their wallets. The theory •f this edict was that too much money was being spent out of the country. Paul wanted Z ~ 'v9HB his Mbjects to s|M-nd their wealth at home.

The manner of hia death waa very tragic, for hia brutality finally wore out the eubmlsaive spirit.,of even the Husalans. nnd he was killed by the officers of his court.

The iwenty-thonsand-dollar battery were billed to appear here in the opening game with Botdon, but neither man showed up nutil tbc last game of the asrie* was called. Tbc cause of their non-appearance, as stated to the public bv the Boston Club management, was that Kelly was sick, nnd Clarkson bod a sore toe. ’ The real cause was that Kelhr "Then yon won't do anything?" “->«. No. .... air; mmm and .I ....... may toll yon that I am .. .. you astonished at your indelicacy in suggest­ ing such a thing." "All right, then; I’ll get even with yon." “I suppose yon mean by that that you will not pilch in the Boston games here?" “Never mind what I' mean. Jnst re­ member that I will got even." And tbe once great pitcher of the Chicago team turned on his heel and left the office. The above *tory will enable our readers to understand why Clarkson has pitched in but two of the seven games played with Boston in Chicago this season. * During their stay in Chicago every member ot tbe Boston club knew that Mike was “off." They did not know, how­ ever, that CapL Morrill had fined tbe versatile comedian fXj, and that expecta­ tion of a heavy fine accounted for hia prolonged ab«ence. .Kelly has thousands of friends in Chicago who will learn with regret that he has not been doing himself justice of late. Before leaving Chicago Capl. Morrill said: “Yea, it is true that I have been obliged to fine Kelly for irregular habits. Since the tine was imposed he has con­ tinued his course and deserves additional discipline. I have laid all the facta of the case before the Boston owners of the clnb and await advices from them.

The History of a Prudent Marriage. BY MISS MVLOCK. CHAPTEB VI Lady Bowerbank was, as she said, dying; that ii>, the seeds of death were Hrnily eown in her constitution, but they were very slow of developing themselves. Per­ haps tho exceeding peace in which, ex­ ternally. her daily hfe. was passed partly caused this; but chiefly it was because, if eho had seen an end to happiness, so she had to all its bitterest elements, its tur­ moil, trial, rostlessnossneBs, aud pain. She was not strong enough to suffer, and now she had ceased to suffer any more. She even seemed for a while to rally, and to take an interest in things about her—tho tender farewell interest of one soon de­ parting. She wm especially sedulous in all duties to her husband—at least those which aho wm able to perform. Bnl aha had long sunk into a thorough invalid wife, most kindly watched and tended, though more by his orders than by his per­ sonal care, while he went his own ways, and fell back gradually into much of bis old “bachelor" life, ns it had been spent in the long interregnum between bis first mar­ riage and his union with poor Emily Kendal. “Sir John la quite comfortable; he will pot miss me very much,” Mrs. Knowle once heard her say. more meditatively than complainingly. But that lady, who hod ao Keen a sense of wifely duty, even without love, never took any notice of the remark. And when, according to promise, abe had learnt all attainable facta about tho Stanhouses—how that they lived in Lon­ don on Mr. Btenhouse's not too large sal­ ary in a merchant's office, and he waa re­ torted to be a most kind husband to tho widow, and a careful father to the three fatherless children—after this the prudent maiden said aa little m possible to Lady Bowerbank on tbc subject of heY old lover. Only onoe, when, after as long an in­ ters tl as it was possible Tor civility to ad­ mit of, Mr. Stenhousa answered the con­ gratulations he had received on his mar­ riage in a letter to Mrs. Knowle. contain­ ing the brief message—“his own anil his wife's compliments, and thanks to Sir John and Lady Bowerbank"—Emily's eye* filled with teats. "Ho might have been a little kinder," aho said. “But be does not know, and be cannot forgive. He never will forgive me —till Idie." And meantime the two. once lover*, lived on, and did tbair duty to the husband and the. wife unto whom Fate hnd united them. Whether bitter thoughts ever camo— whether in the dead of night either woke up ai d remembered tho pust, their young, bright, innocent mutual love, and tho cruelly that snatched it from them and tnmed it into a corse; whether their hearts ever burned within them againrz man, or alas', against Providence, because in this short, short mortal life they were not made happy--they whose happiness would have injured no one. and who needed nothing in tbe world to make them happy except a little love— thrte were mysteries which must remain forevor undisclosed. But month by month there wasdisclosed tbc plain sad fact that Sir John Bower­ bank's second marriage was not likely to be of much longer doration than his first one, which movt people had altogether forgotten; and much waa the sympathy ex­ cited both for him and for tho sweet, fragile creature who was fading away, peacefully and contentedly, it was evident, but still fading, no one quite knew bow or why. All tbe Liverpool doctors, and more ! than one London physician, were brought to his wife by Sir John in undemonstrat­ ive but evident anxiety; but they could not cure her—they could not even find out what whs tho matter with her. Hereditary weak­ ness, wont ot stamina, deficiency of vital force—they called her disease, or no dis­ ease, by all the»e fine names; but no human being guessed tho root or it except Mrs. Knowle. She, honMt woman, as she sat knitting beside her "Edward”—who was getting an old man now, stout, and a little infirm with rheum-lism. and sometimes a little cross too with tho weight of business, but still at heart the name hearty, kindly "good* man" m ever—would often say with a rigb, "Ah, poor Emily! if those two bad thy attracted him to young Stenbcmse. aa being not unlike what be himself had been m a young man, certain it was that the.head of tiie firm never Jost-sight of hia former clerk; and when, an Mr. Knowle's *ugge*tinft the advisability of a junior partner, the question arose who tbould be adopted into such a valuable and responsible situation, the first person Sir John proposed to whom the offer aboulcl be made was Mr. btenbouae. ' , Edward Knowle was greatly amazed— nsr, perplexed. He' rubbed up his hair with a troubled aspect. “8top a bit; I think—I think I should like to speak to my wife about this.” Bir John looked in undisguised surprise. “As you pleave. But it never would occur to me.to consult my wife on business mat­ ters." "Indeed!” said the other, catching eager­ ly at the opportunity. “I wish yon would. I really think you had l»etter—in this mat­ ter." "Why?" “Yon see," awkwardly explained Mr. Knowle, "a partner, which also implies a partner's wife, is a serious thing to tbe woman-kind, bringing about much inti­ macy, and all that. I fancy—of coarse it is only a fancy of mine—that the ladies would both like to be consulted about it Shall my wife go and speak to Lady Bow­ erbank?" • “If she chooses; bat it is really great nonsense bringing domestic affairs into a mere question of business. It will cause delay, while every post is a matt-r of con­ sequence. I cannot see tbe use of it all. In fact, with your consent"—and h'* man­ ner implied with or without it. for Bir John Bowerbank wm a very obstinate mon iu bis way. as was well known to h'S paitner —“with your consent I shall write and make the offer to tho young man to­ night’ He did eo. and it wm declined—de­ clined immediately and point-blank, with­ out any reason being assigned for tho re­ fusal. - . Sir John was considerably annoyed. To the answer,, which hnd come, not by letter, but by telegram, so eager, apparently, was the young man to renounce the proffered kindness, he wrote again, sugvesting eas­ ier terms—terms so favorable that no man in his senses seemed likely to refuse them, and yet by return of post refused they were. “The man must be mad,” sa d Sir John to his partner. “Perhaps," wm the brief reply. “Why, he has throe children and a deli­ cate wife, and acarcdy enough salary to keep them in bread and cheese; for yon know, at Lady Bowerbank'* desire. I found out all about them. She was interested in tho wife, and misht write and advise her to persuade her husband out of his folly. I must speak to Lady Bowi-rbank.” Meantime Lady Bowerbank had teen spoken to. In fe«r and trembling tho matter bad been broken to her by good Mrs. Knowle, but there waa no need for uneasiness; Emily evinced not tho slightest sign of agitation. She merely raid that she thought sucli n partnership would be the best thing possible, both lor tha firm and for Mr. Stenhouse. snd that she hoped it would come about speedily. And then she lay looking into the sunset over the sea. with a strange, soft expression in her eye*. “Yon are sure—quite sure, my dear Em­ ily. Hint you have no objection?" “No; wby should 1?" And she added again, still more earnestly, “Oh, no—not now." “And by that." commented Mrs. Knowle, as sb* repeated the conversation to her hhsband, “I certain Emily feels that she is dying." They talked the whole matter over for a while, conjugally and confidentially, in their own room, for they had been asked to dine and sleep that night at Summer Lodge, as indeed they very often wennow, and then went back to tbe drawing, room. There, white indeed as a dying face, but eager with all “the alrougth of life, lay poor Emily, her husband sitting beside her sofa iu his quiet, attentive, elderly way, and trying, m well a* he could, to make* little bits of talk concerning the new* of the ^ay in Liverpool, to amuse her during tha hour and a half that he and his guests dined, and she rested alone, for she had now c a»ed entirely to join the circle at meals. “Come here, Mra. Knowle, and say if you do not agree with me—you women 'under­ stand one another well. I have been tell­ ing my wifo about that young man's ex­ ceeding folly—your friend bicnhouse, I mean-^n refusing to entei our firm. It must be a mere crotchet—some offense taken, or the like, forwhk-b we can't .afioni to lese such a useful partner, or to let a fine young fellow cut his own throat in that way. I want Lady Bowerbank to write to his wifo. and reason with her. She has a right; for Lady Bowerbank has done all aorta of kind things to Mr*. StenhORM.” “Kindneas implies no right," said Emily hastily and tremulously. “I don't know her. I cannot write to her. What could I say?" “Just a little common sense—that such a chance oa.this docs not happen to a mon twice in a lifetime, that Stenhouse should take advan taKO of it. He is very poor. I hear that he can but just put bread into the mouths of those three children. If he were to join us he would make his for­ tune." “Make his fortune,” repented Emile, wistfully. “Ab! if that had been—cure. But it ia too late now." “Too late, my dear! Nonsense! The young man cannot be over thiity yet/ “Thirty-one and a half.” Sir John Boweibank looked exceedingly surprised for the moment. "I forgot—you said you knew him." I kin. .or-. At which Mr. Knowle, who never senti­ mentalized in bis life, just assented, smiled at his "old woman.” and perhaps a little weary of the subject, generally, went to Bleep. How tbe Stenhouns struggled on. for it must have been a struitg.o at leaf, with their small income and tb » three children, Mrs. Knowle could notla«ily learn; John hiteuhouae seemed determined to drop en­ tirely out of the range of his old Liverpool friend*.

But Mungo was sharp and wary, and off in the toll gross in un instant. The tiger followed, but the dog had tho advantage over him, m it could run through the grass and under the brushwood at a pace which the other could not keep up with. In fact, it wm almost comical to see how the great creature bounded al>ont in its useless chase after the dog. I knew that the tiger, disappointed in seizing Mungo, would soon return to attack his master, so I reloaded my gun and stood waiting. In a short time he wm before me once more, and again I leveled my gun as well aa I could, con- Bidering tho pain in my left shoulder. The first shot missed, but the second struck the tiger in the shoulder, crip­ pled him, and made him roll about in agony. Reloading m rapidly as ixjsaiple, I went nearer to him, aimed very deliberately, and this time gave him his quietus. Scarcely had I done so before Mungo came bounding to me. looking into my face, and whming with joy at seeing me safe.” A sufacommfasioner, who is a magis­ trate for a sub-district, went out in the jungle one day to try and find a tiger which had been reported to him as having been seen near tho village where ho reaided. There being no white man within many miles of him, his guard der a native aubliadar or lieutenant, Hill went to hunt the beast by himself, the Indian servant he took with him to carry his rifle, etc. , not counting m an effective. He was walking leisurely along a path in the jungle with only his walking-cane in his hand. It hap­ pened to be a fine specimen of the gruegrue cane, cut from a variety of vine which Hill had brought from the West Indies some years before. The cane bad a natural knot or knob as a head, and wm remarkably strong and flexible. As be wm looking about him from side to side, a large tiger emerged from the thick undergrowth only a few yards in advance of him. Keeping hin eyes fixed full on tbe brut® and staring into his eyes, Hill put his left hand cautiously ’ behind him, telling his servant in a low tone to give him his rifle. The Hindoo up to this had been following closely in the footsteps of his monter. Not getting the rifle handed to him. Hill repeated the order in a louder tone, but again without any re­ sponse.

The Burman vil­ lagers, who are no cowards, soon pro­ ceeded with spears and other primitive weapons into tho jungte and found Hill prostrate in tho path.

When there wm a Great American Desert where now are populous States, it was not unusual for an adventurer to he lost on the prairie and die n mis­ erable death from walking in a birole until weariness made him drop. Those days are pant now, but there are parts of the world where these awful mis­ haps frequently occur. A traveler in Burmah one afternoon started off for a little sport, taking his Winchester rifle and his Madrassee servant to carry his cartridge-belt. He soon discovered the footprints of a tiger in the .moist soil, and very incautiously entered the ele­ phant grass, which grows to ten or twelve feet in height. “I followed the trail," said he, “for about half an hour without any result, and then, thinking it time to return, I retraced my steps, as I thought, until, to my surprise ami horror, I came upon the footsteps of a person wearing bools, and going the same way I I knew that the footsteps [ were my’ own. and that I hod l»een going in a circular direction and wm lost in the grass.

Finally I gave up in despair, and sank on the ground and thought of the tales I had heard of British soldiers wandering away from the barracks and never heard of again until some hunter would come across a tattered uniform and a few bones. Just os I had resigned myself to the some horrible fate, I heard a dog liark. I rose in an instant, and rau toward the sound, and within fifty yards came upon a native house.

BTJAM&1 FKANKUN FITTS. ’ HE records of flu ... various departments at Washington show some very surprising cases of mistaken identity among sol­ diers and o th c r s l where the personality or identity has been entirely lost through the effects of disess? or insanity. As these records are pub­ lic property, anybody may draw on them for information who can get ac­ cess to them; and haring lately come across Rome very singular incidents occurring in the search for a lost soldier, 11 will rejieat them for the benefit of our old comrades. The soldier was Thomas B. Hough­ ton, ‘late a private of Company H, One Hundred and Fortieth New York Volunteers. During the Fredericks:burg ctmpaign of the fall and winter of 1862 he fell sick on tho march. He was told to go to an ambulance. Whether he did so or not nill prob­ ably never be known. The man .dis­ appeared from tho sight and knowl­ edge of his friend* and oomrades, and his fate remained a mystery at the close of the war. Such occurrences were by no means rare among the huudredstof thousands of men who com­ posed our armies; but tho Hub.M*qnent experience of his wife in trying to find him was decidedly unique. The wife of the missing soldier re­ sided in Ontario County, State of New York. Between November, 1866, and August, 1867, the Superintendent of file Government Hospital for the In­ sane at Washington caused a notice to be published in several Northern jmpers, calling attention to tho case of a patient iu that hospital. He had been found nt Tallahassee, Fla., when the lUnion troops occupied that place at the close of the war; and while noth­ ing was positively known of him, he was believed to be a Union soldier. He had lost the power of speech and was evidently insane. In September, 1866, he bad been nt Tallahassee fif­ teen months, and nobody there knew anything about him. He was sent to Washington with tho idea that he was a soldier, that ha might receive treat­ ment-in tlm Government hoKpita!. and that he might l>e more couvenieiltly seen, .to be recognized. That was a tim? whm fiiousaudi* of distressed wives and mothers nt th? North were anxiously looking for tid­ ings of their “lost soldiers.” Mrs. Houghton, among others, saw tho no­ tice that was published in the papers, and in the faint hoi>e that the unknown might l»e her lost husband she went to Washington. She took with her a daguerreotype, of him which had l»ecn taken just itefore the war, and a lock of his hair, cut from bin hen I before he left home with his regiment. The hair was of the mme texture and color as that upon the head of the unknown, except that the latter was tinged with gray, as well might have occurred through the hardship and sufferings of captivity. Examined with the mi­ croscope tho hair apjieared to bo thsame. Theie was not u marked general resemblance between the face of the unknown and that of tbe picture, which might be accounted for in the same way, supposing the man were the miss­ ing Houghton. But there were features of the picture whiclt showed a-very close resemblance to the man. An un­ usually light blue was common to the eyes of both. The thumbs were long and pointed, the fingers tapering— something rare among laboring men. The mon would sit nnd twirl one thumb over tbe other in thought, <hicb Mrs. Houghton recognized as an old habit of her husband. She said that when the man looked down, she could Dot see any resemblance to her husband; but when he looked up, as if about to speak, she could recognize him. be deemed at nil conclusive; but there were others which might well be thought ao. No marks or tears od the person of the patient had been given in the advertisement; but Mrs. Houghton gave with the utmost exactness the pobeat under from wearing shoes that were too short, which caused partial lameness; there was a scar on the fore­ head, under the hair; another on the foot;' another on the ankle, which she said had been caused by a sow falling acrow it; and others on the breast and back, whtoa she said earn* from deep irritation of the akin from yearing flan­ nel in a hot sun, at which time her hus­ band was under, the doctor's care for two months. Some scars appeared on the arms, but she said that she knew nothing of them. The doctors at the hospital thought that this might well be, as these scars apparently came from recent bleeding. Tbe patient was not entirely dsmeat- ed to excite him. He wm rather dull j and listleM when Mrs. Houghton sat by bin, Mid talk.d lo him. but would .1 times look np quickly, and it aould , plainly be seen that he tried to qieak. • On the morning after the first night that she had been in the ward near him. sho bode him good-by, and went to the door. He rose and followed her: some- l thing that hr imd imver doaa wilh an, ! other person. She extended her hand, and tad, “„„ C-ome, Thomas—won't -you i go with me? He turned to the wall, and trembled all over. Mrs. Houghton had no doubt that the man was her husband. . In January, 1869, the jiatient seemed returning to* his scuses. He said dis­ tinctly. in answer to a question, “Yes, sir." He was asked his name, and re­ plied, “Thomae B. Houghton." ‘*What,is your wife's name?" tho doctor inquired. He shook his head. “I don't know, ," was the answer. ‘Where are you from?" 'New York/ was the reply. Tho man had been dumb for three and a half years! The doctors pronounced the identifiqatiou complete. Mrs. Houghton went home, agreeing with the Superintend­ ent that her huslmad hod hotter remain ot the hospital till his recovery was complete, us it would be in time. His health was good, he ditl some eksy work, and ho improvedin his powers of sjicecb. One day au attendant addressed hint by the name of Houghton, lie laughed. “That's not my name,” he said. He then told what ids name was, which the record does not preserve, but it did not sound in the least tike Houghton. “Did you not belong to the One Hun­ dred and Fortieth New Y'o^c Regi­ ment?" was asked. • A few days later he gave a chuckle, as if compr'ehendttffc that there Was a mistake here, which was like a joke— to him, at least. He then said that he had never been a Yankee aoltlier, but that he used to be a negro driver on a Georgia plantation. He stated the name of the town there where he hail lived, and the names of persona living there. One of the doctors wrote to the persons whom he named and soon re­ ceived replies from them. They rec­ ognized the name that the man gave aud said that just such a person as was described had been an overseer on a neighboring plantation! And that turned out to lie the truth of it. The mi n was never in the Union army; he had many of the marks anti peculiarities of Thomas B. Houghton— but he was not that person. He was a native Georgian. fie explained later that ho hail gone to Tallahassee on business and had been drafted into the Confederate army there. He lost his mind, probably through fright (just such cases are known), and even thing was a blank to him till his faculties begun to return to him in the hospital. He had no recollection of Mrs. Hough­ ton being nt the hospital! The reader will wish to know whether this strange patient intended to de­ ceive when he said that his name was Thomas B. Houghton, and that he came from New York. The doctors never thought that he did Their theory was that when his mind anti his powers of speech were returning to him he would repeat al­ most at random words that he hud heard spoken in tlu* hospital. The nameo Thomas B. Houghton and NewYork he had frequently heard, and he uttered them i>urrot-fashion. When bis recovery was complete he went bock to Georgia. It was one of the strangest case-; of mistak?n and lost identity that the war produced.— Chicago Ledger. ing the war says a ?»’ writer in the Detroit I k Free Press. He was 4R.i pompous character, gy His c h i e f pleasure «M»i«mcd- to lie in the ‘ direction of a special car for himself and family, to the exclusion of even his staff officers. He generally took a weekly, trip from Houston, his headquarters, to Galves­ ton, and on such occasions he invaria­ bly monopolized a special. In the lim­ its' of all the Confederacy, coaches were then a scarce commodity. On one occasion, when every freight cur on tin* road was called into requi­ sition for the purpose of conveying troops to Galveston, and every ear lieing crowded within, as well as on top, with troops, the inevitable special coach was attached to the rear of the train. The troops appropriated tho top of the sjieeial to their use, it being a more comfortable place for I hem than on top of the l»ox cars. In the special sat the General and his family; a cosy circle, indeed. It was a raw day, and as usual, there were objurgations, deep and loud, among the troojrn. ns to the uncomfortablcnww of the situation. Just before the train started a wild harum-scarum Texan, William Ochil­ tree, brother of the famous Colonel Thomas P. Ochiltree, espied the family sitting around the stove, and raising his stentorian voice—he could, and can io this day, holler louder than any man in Texas, and, on account of his melodious voice, is auctioneer for the largest auction house in the State— veiled out: “Lord, boys, come here! Ill be dad snatched if here ain't the old he Itear, the old she bear, and all the little cub bears.'* To say that, in a moment's time, the top of that special was a crowded mass of humanity, doesn't begin to express it. The great wonder was that the top didn't cave in and let the boys down in a struggling heap upon the* General and his family. It was too much for tho General, and he ordered his car detached, and Bill Ochiltree was placed upon a diet of bread and water for a considerable pe­ riod. Tbe General did one good thing, anyway, for he caused Bill to grub stump* and earn his rations by the sweat of his brow. Bill has tamed chickens roosied high daring tbe war if Bill Ochiltree was in the neighborhood, War Hirtory U a Olaoe.. ---yjTsamiw’Sa^yy****1111 Fort taster flMtwST'..~ .

The cashier lr a Russian bank is not a person of a* much Importance *a the man who has a similar title in an American bank. He simply looks after tho cash, is a sort of paying and receiving teller combined, and his room is entirely distinct from the rest of the bank. He enters his cage at the open­ ing of office hours, and does not leave it till the bank closes. Bank cashiers and cashiers for the larger stores aud Ifoatbes* houses are not employed directly by tho banker or merchant, but are furninhed by tho Artel, a aort of guaranty society, from its list of members.

Every dollar that is paid into the bunk goes into tho cage, aud not a dollar -cun bo taken out - without a chock, which tho cashier keeps as his voucher. He issues certificates of deposit to tho depositor and a duplicate to tho bank from which tho book* are posted. Tho owner of the institution can find out from hia book* what is in the vaults, but ho cannot count it until the trust company la relieved of responsibility. If financial gentlemen who read this wilt think over tbo Russian plan I believe they will decide that it is a good one. At least it removes nil temptation for tampering with books from tellers and other employes, and th* funds of depositors as well u tho sto<*kholder* are in»ured.

What have I to any al out my experience? A good deal. It wag awful. July 19 I went into R. H. Hall’s well to dean ft out and repair the curbing. The well, which was 150 feet deep, was a very dungeion* one aud I felt as though I otight not to work in it. Fifty feet down was where the curbing needed the most repairing, as at this point tho old curbing hod given away aud ubout a fool of saud around the well had cared in. After taking the measurement I came ont. put my curbing together and lowered it, supported by four ropes. Ot course this curbing wm smaller than the other and would have to be made fast. Thin I did by going Ixiiow nnd nniliug two by four inch stuff on the old curbing. Iu this, new curbing I had laid three boards across tbe bottom, letting them rest on. the old curbing, thereby making a box. X was in this box sluffing ' hay in behind, preparatory io filling iu the smalt cavity with straw. "When I was about ready to leave tbe well I snw it beginning to cave about me. Jumping into the bucket I called for those above to pull mo up quick, but before a move could bo made tbe sand nnd boards bud closed in on mo und 1 was a prisoner. For the first few pihutes 'of my imprison­ ment words cannot express niy feelings. That ray time bad coins I did not doubt in the least, and the thought of eueh a honible death waa. terrible. After col­ lecting my thought* n little I dis­ covered I was held fast in tho bucket by two or three boards, but by a bard struggle I managed to extricate myself from this position and dropped down into tho Imttom. From the bottom of tho box it was three and ft half feet to tho boards above, which in falling had formed themselves into an arch and pro­ tected me from the sand. The box waa now only about two feet square, aud not room enough for me to stand erect. I could get on tuy knee* or sit down, but bad to stay in u crouching position tbo whole time I was in the well. "About the first throe days I got along* very well, but after that I began to want water^ badly. Tho fourth day when it rained I heard what I thought was water slowly dripping. Feeling around I found it, and holding my mouth open man­ aged in this way to get about a doxen ’ drops of water, whtch gave me much re­ lief. I hud no difficulty tn breathing until tho well below m« came so near being filled by sand occasionally coming in, caused by the diggers above. I had breathed the air over so ranch that it had become impure, causing ine to feel a smothering seusatioq, but about this time tbe rescuer* got near enough to mo to let in air from above. “By haring a gfiod supply of chewing tobacco I did not suffer so much for food as might have boon expected. From tho beginning I could hear considerable that was said and done above. I heard the wagon when it started to town for lumber and heard some one say the man is dead and the order given to try to pull my box out. When tlrov began to pull 1 knew there was great danger of the board* giv­ ing way aud crushing me, and for my own safety and to give evidence of being alive I cut tho ropes and heard the exciting talk that prevailed when it wa* discovered that that time ou I waa hopeful of being res­ cued. "About the sixth day I felt Komething crawling on my band and found it to be u blnt-lxrttle fly. I thought by this that an opening had baen made from above. I w as correct, fpr soon Henry Archer had tbe opening large enough to pa»* a wot rag to me. In reaching it to me it be­ came covered with ffimd. but no honey ever tasted letter than that wet rag. Soon a bottle of water and a piece of bread were given me and I was truly thankful. ‘ “From thia time on I began to g»in strength, sad by helping my rescuers the time passed quicker than one would sup­ pose. When my feet, which are badly swollen, are better, und I dare eat a square meal, I will l>e all right. I am very thank­ ful to my friend* for their persistant ef­ forts to rescue mo." When reaching the top of the ground, Anderson shook hands with hia lescners und tried to thank them, but could only any, “God Meas you, bora," when hia ‘ voice was choked. There were 200.peopte present, and there were very few dry evea among them. Ho was st once carried to t ba farm-house, and placed under the care of two physicians. They say be is doing ae w ell uh could l;e expected, and that ho will soon be restored to health.

Through the dark and exciting night ef May 7, 18G4, the corps of General Warren was forging its advance toward Bpottsylvania. The armv scouts were busy that night; in all directions throughout the woody region they were speeding stealthily, upon special missions bent, at an urgent moment. The messenger sent out from head­ quarters to procure a scout was at his wits’ end. In the delav and confusion incident to the blocking of the route by Mer­ ritt’s cavalry, at about three o’clock in the morning of the 8th, it soon became known that a brave and capable man •was needed for a perilous undertaking, and the half-frantic messenger waa dashing hither and thither, whilt^ his commander's minutes of impatience were Wing scored"against him. “I have a couple of men in my regi­ ment,” said a veteran Colonel, quietly, “who cannot be excelled for bravery, capacity, and willingness.” “But' they have no ■ experience for such a task as may now be required of them ?” “That will not matter. I will wager the honor of Cofroanies * H ’ and * K ’ upon their ability. "Call them forward, Colonel, mount­ ed, for we have some distance to cov“Presently, with the General’s per­ mission." A few minutes later two horsemen rode forward on either side of the Colonel, and paused, grimly erect in their saddles, before General Warren’s messenger. “Sergeants Everett and Blay," the Colonel said, “I pledge my word that they are two of the best and bravest soldiers, and brightest, too, in all the Army of the Potomac. ’* Then three horsemen went galloping swiftly away. Not yet had dawn yielded its gray light sufficiently to reveal the counte­ nances of the two candidates for special scouting service; but their man­ ly voioes, eoklierly bearing, and ease of self-eonaciousness told at once of courage and inward reliaxre?. "I now have use - for both," said the General, instantly, upofi their arrival in Itis presruce. First be led Jack Hvslfctt aside, snd •t ihe conclusion of some hurried in­ structions added: “Ito your duty an I have explained, and I will try and have a pair of e|>auIcrtes placed upon your shoulders. ’’ “If I win them. General, 1 shall thereby slsu win the sweetest girl that ever lived.” grant Blay; and if yon bring me the kind of information I want, I promise to aid in your promotion." “On that promise, General, I can face any peril, because, when I am ranked a little higher. I thereby win for my wife one of thu bent girls who ever loved a.man. She said, before I went away, that she would only wed with me when I iMMMtue an officer.*' “ Indeed! What is her name ?" “Jennie Filmore," and he gave her addresn. , | Full of grim menace as were th oarI hours preceding the crash of another i stupendous battle, the General wm I struck by this remarkable evidence of double loves and ambitions. “I shall remember,"he said, gravely; “and if you meet with accident Jennie Filmore* shall know that you were braveunto death.” In tho broad daylight—while the di­ vision of Robinson was at work clearing the obstructions ahead of the advanc­ ing columns, and while the unerring rifles of the Confederate sharpshooters ■were mercilessly picking off the pio­ neers—Jack Everett had gained a safe covert near the River Po, snd luul gath­ ered enough to know that Lee’s whole armv, shatlered though it had been in the havoc of the Wilderness, waa once again in eager shape to meet the boys in bine. The bustling network of the Confed­ erate brigades had now become so in­ tricate, however, that the Union scoot dared not venture forth. Presently a wagon train came filing along in the direction ot Spottaylvanii Court House, and a curious event trans­ pired, of which Jack availed himsrlf. . The drivers were shouting, swearing, nnd prodding the panting b.-ast#r, when suddenly a maddened animal kicked savagely, striking its driver squarely in the stomach. The fellow doubled up and dropped as if shot, and a hasty examination showed that he was dead.* There was no time for delay; it waa known that a detachment of Federal troops were making a movement oatenaibly to capture the train; th'- wagons were loaded until thev would not bustain the weight of another pound. The dead Confederate was dragged to the bushes at the roadside nnd left within a few feet of the concealed scout. When the wagons had passed Jack glided quickly to the side of the dead man; a few minutes thereafter the Union boy emerged upon the road, wearing the dirt-gray garb of a Con­ federate teamster. Simultaneously another and solitary wagon came lumbering into view, its driver cursing his brutes while he goaded them roughly in his endeavor to overtake the train from which he had become separated. A solid shot came whizzing from the direction of the Federal army, and the forepart of the wagon was instantly wrecked. The frightened horses sprang away; after thmfi Ixinnded the team­ ster, with * yell of alarm, nor did he even glance at* the disguised scout standing at the fringe of the road. Jack Everett advanced to the de­ molished wagon, and as he halted a girlish form leaped lightly from the debrie almost into his anus. As the two stood face to face he uttered a sharp cry: “Jennie!—Jennie Filmore!" ' “My name is Filmore, but it is not Jennie.” He dashed a hand across his eyea, exclaiming: “It can’t be a drcam—and yet I left Jennie far in the North when I put on the blue and came to fight in the war------ " . . “Who was Jennie? Whom do vou mean?” asked the lovely girl, in a quick, peculiar way, running to his side and placing one plump hand upon his arm. “Well, the Jennie I mean was lx>m here in tbe South; she's a Northern girl now. Yon arc ao much like her I thought it was she. ” '‘And her name is Filmore?” , ’ I I | “Mv name is Agnes Filmore. I had an olQer sister named Jennie, but she ran away to the North before the war, bent ou making a good living. We never heard from her. Maybe the one you know is my sister ?" Jock was dumfounded by this meet­ ing, fur as the girl spoke he rcmembered a certain letter received from Jennie, in which she said: “Perhaps, Jack, while you arc fight­ ing down jn Dixie you’ll ’meet a dear sister of mine whom I have Dot,seen for years. If vou do, be sure and kiss ber for me. You’ll be sure to know her, because we are just as much alike as two pins in a row.” Jack impetuously grasped tbe girl by both hands, crying: “As I live I believe you and Jennie are sisters!” “Maybe." “Who waa that man? How came you to be iu his wagon?” “He is my uncle.” I have no other relative except Jennie, if she is alive.” “What shall you do? Go on after him, or come with me and find Jennie?” he demanded, nnd his gaze wbm fixed strangely upon her sweetly glancing, vitdet eyes. “I’d rather find Jennie." “Come, then, and I’ll take you to her." "Jennie Filmore,” end he gave her The task was more easily promised address iu ths rame breath. than fulfilled.

His philosophy was so much in the Falstafiian vein that I will give his views in his own words, as near as my memory serves me. “Were you in the fight?" “Hud a little taste of it, sah.” “Stood vonr ground, did you?" “No, san; I runs.” “Ran at the first fire, did you?" “Yes, sah; on’ would hab run sooner if rd o’ know’d it was a cornin’. ” *Why, that wasn’t very creditable to . your courage?” ■ “Dat-isn’t in my line, sah; cookin’s . my profession.” “Well, but have you no regard for . your reputation ?” ■ “Reputation’s nuffin’ to mo by de side ( ob life."

Many of the experiments tried bv the doctors were of the most extraordinary charac­ ter.

When this man was told he hod reached the summit and might rest awhile tho symptoms of exhaustion gradually disappeared.

Many rears ago, when the circus busi­ ness in this country was in its infancy and before it assumed the immense pro­ portions of a modern show, says the New York Graphic, the tents were comparatively small and dingy, aud with the tent packed to its utmost limit at the prices of admission no more than $300 could be crowded inside. While the theatrical business in this country can be traced back to 1686, when an un­ successful effort was mode to institute theatrical performances in New En­ gland, the history of the circhs in the United States dates back only to 1810, when two Italians named Cayetro came over and first installed into the mind of the American small boy an admiration for the youxig woman in tights, who floated in mid air or was whirled around the sawdust arena on a prancing steed, one of the half-dozen belonging to the establishment. Newburyport, Mass, was the first stopping place of the Italians, but they did not get much further, and a financial failure caused their return to sunny Italy at an early dfkt& Another venture in the sawdust dine was made in 18*23 by one Honk Bailey, of West­ chester county, New York; then came an Englishman named William West, and another by the name of TaUoal. AU three showed in New York City only. The second attempt and the first to establish a permanent circus was made in 1818 by Pepin and Burchard, two Frenchmen, who put up a building for the purposa on the present site of the Walnut street theater in Philadelphia. J. Purdy Brown organized a company ’a New York in 1824, and for many years thereafter he was a favorite in the South. In those days circuses had only one tent, and a small one at that. Dressing tents were unknown or menagerie ac­ companiments, tbe performers being obliged to dress or “make up" in some hotel dr house near where the tent was pitched. It did not pay them to remain in a town, no matter how small, less than a week at least, and daily proces­ sions wegA made on horseback. By nod bjr the business, like every­ thing else, improved with the growth of the country, and with it came great competition. The jjosters now so glar­ ing and expensive, and such an item of the outlay of the modern show, con­ sisted of a small, one-sheet paster with­ out pictures of any sort. Thev were tacked against fences and dead walls, and taken . down after the show to be used in the next town. Circuses began to assume greater magnitude when such proprietors sprang up as Henry Rock­ well, June, Titus & Angevine, L. P. Howe, Avery Smith, G. 8. Spaulding, Charles Rogens, R. P. Sands, Van Amburg, L. J. North, William Lake, John Robinson, Raymond & Warring. John Nathans, Fogg & Stickney, Antonio Brothers, Whitbeck, Dan Costello, L. B. Lent. Dan Rice, Welch’*.

The caul And best, parts of the fat are rendered into oleo oil for making ar­ tificial butter, and the pressings give us the stearine of commerce. These are only a few of the products result­ ing from careful investigation of re­ cent years. Not a particle of the ma­ terials around the large slaughter­ houses is wasted, And the result of Utilizing what was previously thrown away has brought out a formidable source of competition in the glue and fertilizer trades, which has to be met by reduced prices.—Ot/, Paint and Drug Reporter. Rather Particular. Borne years ago two brothers, Wes­ ley and Edward Perrin, kept in Den­ ver a very handsome saloon and cigar store. They catered to the best trade of the citv, and kept the finest goods, in their line, to be obtained. Such a thing as a five-cent cigar was unknown in Denver, and, indeed, a five-cent piece was of do use except for pur­ chasing stamps at the postoffice. By custom the nickel was not a legal ten­ der in the Rocky Mountain region. Finally, however, one of the customers of the Perrin Bros., who had been East and daring the trip had smoked some very good five-cent cigars, pre­ vailed upon the Perrins, after much persuasion, to import from Chicago a small stock of the five-centers. After the arrival of the invoice, the customer come in one day, in order to give the innovation his moral support, and made a purchase of a few of the cigars. Cutting the point from one of them he was approaching tho gas jet used for lighting tho weeds, when Edward Perrin approached him with deep con­ cern depicted on his face, and inno­ cently remarked: “If it’s all the same to you, I would much rather you wouldn’t smoke that thing in the house.” The customer gazed at Perrin in blank surprise for a moment and then said: “Well, your gall is refreshing.” Perrin replied, offering an excellent Havana: “That’s one on me. I’d like to have you stop awhile and talk over old times. Have a regalia. Smoke with me." The customer accepted, and the two sat down and enjoyed a chat together without being disturbed by the scent of a five-center.—Arkaneaw Traveler. Evils of the Elevated Roads. Riding upon the elevated roads is said to be injurious to the eyesight. With each passing train a quantity of dust and cinders is blown through the cars when windows aud doors are open, and also a far more dangerous form of flying particles in tke form of minute chipa from the rails. The habit of looking out\of the window, which so many indulge in, is also deleterious. The objects seen ara so near and so rapidly passed that the constant change is very trying to the eyesight. In rid­ ing upon the surface railrCuds the case is different aa the objects se<n are comparatively distant, and are, there­ fore, within range of vision for a much longer time.—Boston Post.

While this little but­ terfly was busy in arranging and dust­ ing 'the rooms, her bright mind was busy, also. She was wandering from her present surroundings and wonder­ ing whether this would always be her Lome and where her parents’ early homo was and how her mamma had looked. And, too, whether all she had read in books was true or not. As the many strange thoughts crowded her mind she was flitting from ono picoo of furniture to-tho other, and by the quick motions of the large, heavy duster the dust was again set in motion, only to OUR LIFE settle in the very same place.

Bun along, now; you hain’t done nothin’ tlus morniu’, and now you have no time to lose.” “All right; good-by!" And off she went, swinging tho bucket of eggs in the air at such a rate that it was a won­ der that they were not scattered to jlre four winds and broken to pieces. ’ The Rice farmhouse was situated on a cross road, full ha,lf mile or more from the main ono that led to JonesIxjrongh, by turning to the left. If a person went the path, down throngh tho woods, and walked over the log .across the creek, he could cut off con­ siderable distance. This was the roqd by which Farmer Rice intended to re­ turn homo, also the one by which Lina intended to go to town. Immediately after you crossijd the creek from the rice farm was a large, dense thicket, but there had been fot years a path in this thicket, ami little Lina had often gone to town by it;, fre­ quently she wnuld not return uniu dark, but never once did shu fee! afraid. ■ There were numerous and immense snakes and some other animals that would frighten most girls, but our lit­ tle Linn was no coward. Just ns she entered the thicket she was greeted by an immense black racer, ' but she was prepared to defend herself. “Forwarned, foranned,’' thought tihe, and just before crossing the creek she picked up a large club, which came very handy. “Ah, ha! old fellow, you are a bad oman, but I hope to conquer you, as well m» nil other obstacles, if there should be any." So setting the bucket of eggs hastily on the ground she let her immense chib fall heavily upon the head of the snake several times; the force of the blows soon caused the reptile to lay still in death. Seeing no more danger, she hastened on. Little Lina, innocent of the trap that had lieen laid in that path for her, went running and skip­ ping through this dangerous place, bnt suddenly she heard a strange noise. “Ha, hark!.” Asif to stop the mo­ tions of the rustling leaves of the bushes and trees of the thicket. “Hark!

[NEW YORK .CORRESPONDENCE.] Midsummer balls are remarkable for , old and new toilets. A majority of the • women wear dresses from the previous winter’s festivities in town, freshened I ■<up by new trimmings, jierhapA, but jsometimee nlaialv showing the ut&ge 1 ■which they have had. It is the minority who apj»ear on these rare occasions iu brand-new outfit-c The perfectly fresh ball gowns of August are apt to be loudly pronounced in material. That is their distinguishing feature as com­ pared with lust winter’s fabrics. The picture shows one in {which the satin ground work of the wouJt is whiu£ but its surface is half covered by big,bright red'stars. Another fact regarding these pretentious summer toilets is that, al­ though the bustle is greatly diminished for ordinary times, in these particular cases it is just about as large os ever. Id other wools, the August Indie is not quite ready to cut down the preten­ tious outlines of her skirts ou cere­ monious occasions. She may come to it by autumn, but as yet her tournurc for a stvlish evening dance remains practically intact. While she thus maintains a fullness of material in her skirt, she abates none of the scan­ tiness of cloth in her bodice, wjiieh isquifax S3 low" os ever ' in frontr-and rfdher more so behind. The picture showS* what the present fashion is in thnt respect. Another • character­ istic of ball toilets is that the shoes and hosiery both match the dress in colors and partly in materials. Neither high gaiters nor low slippers are in vogue for this purpose, tho correct thing being a low shoe tied with a bow. The leather portion is dyed tho same hue as the satin which is set into it,rand of the silken stocking above, ns well as the dress overhanging them. In case there are two or three distinct colors in the gown they are also reproduced in tho hose and shoes. Of course, I am writ­ ing about those belles to -whom expense means nothing. To arbitrarily order a pair of stockings and a pair of sho?s carrying tints the same as tho samples of th£ dress submitted means reckless­ ness as to cost, for the market will have to be hunted over in vain for the right stocking*, and eventually they have to Im? woven to suit this exq'uimte’demand.

A visit to Newport, perhaps the swellest of all the watering places, disclosed a great number of belles wearing the English blouse waist al­ most without exception in the morning, of flanntl, silk, satin, os the case may be, with skirts of any material, yellow shoes and neglige hats. The Tam-o’Shantcr has had its day, and the ten- ■ nis-playing girls have taken to tho jockey cap instead. In fact, they look very mannish with their blazers and shirt waists, loosely tied at the throat with a soft scarf, and lielted snugly at the waist. Nothing is too conspicuous or outre to be warn. Any costume which causes bystanders and passers­ by to look and stare is considered a great success, and the frills and furbe­ lows. puffs and sashes that some of these enterprising damsels affect be­ wilder the adept in millinery. Every body wears the popular yellow shoe. Everybody wears at least one huge, flapping leghorn flat, crushed and dented and turned up here, there, any­ where, at tho wearer's own sweet will, and bedecked lavishly with flowers of even- hue.

Presumably some of its asjiects were pnt on for the sake of the camera—such as the armful of flowers, ' the long black scarf, and I may add the pastoral pose. All ac­ counts agree that the New York beauty has made a hit over there, socially.

A report of a Republican convention or kindred gathering ought to b< as fair and truth­ ful in the paper of opposite politics as in the one espousing the principles of that party, and wee versa. If the ed­ itor feels like commenting on or crit­ icising the action of such convention, that is his unquestioned and unques­ tionable privilege; but truthful report is demanded by every consideration of decency and justice. Errors may be more successfully combatted by the power of righteous criticism than by all tbe vindictiveness and villific&tion of the newspaper scold.

Seven­ teen people were roasted, six other* so se­ verely burned that they will die. and many more received serious injuries. Tho house was a ramshackle affair hidden in the middle of ths Mock, the only entrance to it being a narrow alleyway from tho Bowery. In front of it was a four-story building. Ad­ joining this is Hurry Miner's People** Thea­ ter. In tho rear of the burned building wore two houses, hemming it completely In. In this caged-in building lived about one hundred and fifty people. Each of the six floors wus occupied by a single family, the head of which was a tailor, who made clothing for the cheap wholesale houses, and employed from fifteen to twenty men. women, and children. In addition to his own family. They were all Polish. Jews, and employers and employed worked, ate. and slept In the crowded rooms of tho dingy tenement Tha flames gained such rapid headway that escape wa* almost im­ possible. and the moat appalling scene* followed, tho crackling of tho flames mingling with tho wild shrieks of despair of the unfortunates. )iany of tho fright­ ened Inmates rushed down through the flames, and escaped to the narrow court yard, with clothes ablaze and bands and bodies burned.

All listened and wendered and feared, and only thought of what would come next. People imagined them»clre* standing on the verge of a possible eternity ns they watched the sinuous lightning rushing like mimic comets along telephone nnd telegraph vfires—they felt deith already creeping around their hearts, us it crept to the hearts of a few, luckily only a few.

[CHICAGO COKBESFONDEXCK.] The present week the Western teams of tha Nntionvl League are playing the last series but one that they will play this season. The Chicago team ia to" visit Philadelphia, Washington, New York, Boston, Detroit, and Pittsburgh, before returning to Chictg*o to .open the next home eerics with Pittubnrgb, on Aug. 27. The past two weeks has made a big change in tho complexion of-tho pennant, race. Two weeks ago Chicago was leading. Then Detroit came to the front and bofli tha Wolverines and New Yorks passed Chicago in tbe pennant race. Then De­ troit began to tumble, and not only New York, but Chicago as well, passed the sluggers. The position of the teams at this writtug, shows thu Gishts to be far in the lead, with Anson's men second and Detroit third. Tho De­ troit Club is in rather an unsettled con­ dition nt present. Laroonue. the Lynn player, heralded by tho Bostonese as a great bnll-tosser, came on and made a pronounced failure as second baseman, wberoupon Gansel was returned to thu base nnd plays it to the queen's taste. Lnrocqno claims thnt the outfield is his liest hold, nnd he will be given a trial there. This, of course, weakens the team behind the bnt, as .Bennett's bauds are iu bid shape, nnd Sutcliffe is the only catcher to fall back on. Director Stearns is, however, hustling for an outfielder and a catcher, and will without doubt soon fill the gap. But whnt a grand game New York is playing. They commented to pick up n month ago. when Buck Ewing began to play his Rnme, and have lieen playing winning ball over since. Your corre­ spondent remarked ns much to n party of Chicago base-ball enthusiasts the other afternoon, and got them started in a gen­ uine old-fashioueil discussion of the uational game and itb well-known teams and plnyoni. "No question but what New York is playing a fine game this year, but they are stronger this season than they wore Inst." said one of the party. “Yon mean at third base," said another of the party. “That is right. And that reminds me that never did a team captain correct bis own and tho faults of his men so promptly as Ewing has done. He »o«i recognized hi* incomjHitency as a third baseman nnd promptly went behind the bat. And did anybody over sec good re­ sults come so quickly? I never did. In my opinion it has been Ewing's example more than anything eloe that has brought the loam up to its present standard. Keofo and Welch have been doing wonderful work, to be sure, but they have been re­ ceiving almost faultless support, and thnt support was the result, I believe, of Ew­ ing's inflacnce nnd example." "Whitney’s work has also bad mighty good effect npou the team generally."said No. 3. “The men knew tho team was weak there, nnd whon Whitney jumped in and began to play third base in a stylo that equaled thnt of any third baseman in tho country it must linve braced tbe boys up." Menu while, how is Chicago faring? Only so-so, thunk you. I see the alarm­ ist has been getting in his work from sev­ eral points against tbe Spalding aggrega­ tion. One man draws an heroic picture of a scene lietween Anson and Senator Ryau in tho home club-house, with Ed William­ son assuming tbe role of peacemaker. Non­ sense. Anson, I believe, told Jimmy after Thursday's game with Detroit that ho had no business muffing Drouthers’ fly to the ! outfield, nnd Jimrnyjkronscious of the fact thnt ho had done his best, sassed the old man quite pert like. Then Anson got hot and gave Ryan an impromptu but very stiff little lecture, and big Ed Williamson disgustedly remarked, “O, shut up, Cap; for Christmas' sake, shut up,” and thus drew tho old man's wrath from Jimmy toward himself, with the result tbat tha only ancieut forgot all about Ryan and the latter’s costly error. Thon some fellojr comes ont nnd says Pfeffer has been fined $10 for stupid in­ field work, nnd has got, an attack of the sulks in consequence. Now this is not right. Jimmy Rynn has made some very bad breaks in tbe center field, and yet he has offset them with some of the prettiest work ever seen in any outfield. So with Pfeffer. Through his monkey business end circus work aronnd second Fred haw let many a man to his base, and although through loss of temper h<j has given cause for some harsh criticism, be is man enough, I believe, to know when he has reached the boundary lino of tolerance. Until Pfeffer obtains the mastery over his unpleasant dis(>osition he will always have more or less to fret over In connection with his work. Surely no man in th<‘ team has less cause for complaint than he, and yet no man is so liable to break out over some fancied griavance or insult. These traits detract greatly from the popularity and success of a ball-player, no matter bow great his reputation. They have hurt Fred Dun­ lap; they have injured George Gore; they have retarded the advancement of Mui lane nnd Latham, and hare mined several ball-players whose names have now almost been forgotten in base-ball circles. However, without attempting to moral­ ize further, I will say that there is abso­ lutely no foundatiou for the charges of discord among Chicago players at present. They feel hot and disgusted at the series of defeats they have met with, to.be sure. Would they be men and bull-players if they did not feel so? While Ryan and Pfeffer are perhaps n little less tractable than the oilier members of the team, it is dollars to cents that they will each do all in their power toward the team’s success so long as they wear it* uniform. Enough, therefore, of these unfounded charge* of dissensions and cross-purposes. There is no room for such among tho Chicago player* at present. Leigh Lynch has' arranged dates for tho Auslralian team al Frisco—four games—and also at Denver and Halt Lake City. He says that the boys will be well received and duly honored at each point, and that, so far as he can judge, there will lie a big attendance at all the games arranged for. Harry Palmeb. Gekebal H. Hurt, a prominent Virpnian, died suddenly ut Louisville, Ky. . The dtghteenth manual convention of 1)10 Catholic Total Abstinence Union of America met in Breton the other day. Five huxdbed axd fifty head of fat cattle were recently sold by C.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, tenting whether that nation or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are mot «»n the great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedi­ cate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. . But in a larger sense we cannot dedi­ cate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it for above our power to add or detract.

It is rather for us to Im» dedicat h! here, to l»e dedicated to the unfinished work which thev who lough t.hen> have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for ns to be here dedicated to the great task re­ maining before us; that from these honored dead we take increased devo­ tion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion, that we here highly resolve that these dead shall have not died in vein, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom: and that this govern­ ment of the people, by the people, and for the people shall Dot perish from the earth. narill history of tbe world affords no other example of ■ iHtich marvelous cool>3 lufss and professional I <Z |-drill as that shown —WillU.

The Constitution of the United States pledges the nation' to secure a republi­ can government to all the states of the * -Union. There is no Republican gov­ ernment in existence in Crittenden county. Ark. It has been deliberately crushed out by violence. Crittenden connty lies along tbe Miss­ issippi river opposite Memphis; ita county town, Maxion, is situated up the river about ten miles from that city. The population of Crittenden county is chiefly colored, in the ratio of seven Negroes to one white man. For a number of years the position of judge of the county and probate court has been held by a colored man. The clerk and under officers of the court were also colored men. The assessor and his deputies were all colored. The other offices of the county were held by white men, the sheriff and his deputies, the prosecuting attorney, tbe judge and officers of tbe circuit court, etc. There have been no serious charges against these officers for neglect or in­ ability to faithfully discharge the du­ ties of their positions till very recentlySome time since several prominent white citizens of tbe county received badly written, poorly worded notices through tbe Marion postoffice warning them to leave the county, with threats of violence if they refused to comply. Comment became general throughout the county and feeling ran high, the tbreatenina letters being attributed to tbe office-holding blacks by those who received them. As soon as tins became known tbe prominent colored men joined in a request to the grand jury then in session, to investigate tbe mat­ ter thoroughly and punish tbe author or authors of the anonymous letters, should they be found; at the same time, on their part, denying all knowledge of the affair and strongly denouncing such methods. Soon after this stage of affairs had been reached and it had been pretty thoroughly given out that the threat­ ened whites and their friends were armed or arming, prepared to pro­ tect themselves, n band of some fifty or more heavily armed white men appeared at the county seat; a number of them repaired to the court­ house where tbe clerk of the county court, David Ferguson, was at work on his records. He was handed a pa­ per which bewaa ordered to copy and sign at once or die. He readily com­ plied with tbe order. He waa no long­ er county clerk; he had resigned. Arter taking an oath, playfully admin­ istered by bis callers, that be would leave the country never to return be waa marched down to the front of the court-house where soon after he was by several of his deputies, the colored local doctor, tbe lawyer, the schoolmaster of tbe colored school, the editor of tbe Marion Headlight, the only newspaper ever published in the county, and a number of other prominent colored men, associates of tbe above-mentioned persons, all brought in at tbe muzzle of shot-guns and rifles, numbering in all about a dozen men. They were told here that the white people of tbe country were tired and done with “nigger rule” and that they must all leave the country never to return on penalty of death; that wbile somp of them were guilty of no offence yet it was judged that they must “get out” They were then load­ ed into a wagon and in the parlance of the country “hauled” to the railroad station and put aboard the first train for Memphis with the gentle reminder that return to the county would mean instant death to anjr and all of them. Tjie cause of temperance has gained . a notable victory in New Jersey in the decision of the court of Errors and Ap­ peals at Trenton, last week, affirming the constitutionality of the Local Op­ tion High License law. The report had been widely circulated by Democratic and saloon organs for some days be­ fore the decision was announced that tbe court would overthrow the law by a vote of 14 to 2. This was quite posi­ tively asserted and gained general cre­ dence among saloon men and others who bad special or political reasons for opposing local option. Tbe report on tbe faee of it dishonored tbe court, for it implied that tbe court or some mem­ ber of it bad given or allowed to be given, secret information of ita decis­ ion in advance to those most interested in the defeat of tbe law. We assumed that the^report was entirely false, aud the result proves that tbe court was grossly slandered. Ita decision upholds tbe law In every point raised. The case came before the court on appeal lie supreme court sued out on the e Garrison for an El option sections j of the law. in Gloucester county. Other I cam-m raishig Questions under the high Rreuae sec t it his were joined with it- in in the proceeding before the supreme court, so that the case, as argued be­ fore the court .of sppeals presented them-distinct points for decision: 1, whether certain provisions of tbe high license Hectionx were constitutional; 2, whether the title of the bill expressed its true intent ; 3. whether the bill ac tuirlly delegated legislative power to the people ; 4, whether the naming of Wednesday instead, of Tuesday, the general election day, as tb«- day for holding tbe election in Gloucester county, was in conformity with the couxHtutioD. The court decided all these points tn favor of the law, the first point unanimously, the others by a vote of 8 to 7, onlyi three law judges, including the chancellor, voting in tbe minority. ________ The St. Louis Gio >e Democrat has had a reporter in Crittenden County, Ark, studying up the facte about the expulsion of the “turbulent” Negros. He t ill* the story that while a party of tho Negros were under guard on the day of tbe expulsion, the armed whites amused themselves by discussing, in the hearing ot their prisoners, the beat plan for disposing of them. The gist ot tbe argument, says the reporter, was that it would not do to take them out in the fields and shoot them, as the Winchesters carried so far there would be danger of the bullets do’Dg haim at tel passing through tbe bodies of tbe prisoners. After various proposit­ ions had been talked of, the boys agreed that tbe best way would be to stand the Negros up against the aide*of the court-house, and let the bullets ilatten themselves against the stone, where they could do no hurt. New England will have much to an­ swer for in tho day of the great trial. Years ago she sold her slaves to plant­ ers in the south for top prices. Then she fitted up slave ships and supplied the south with tens cf thousands of slaves in Africa or bought of African • 4ve traders, brought on and sold to southern planters for large prices. Within the year past there has been shipped from New England to the African coast, to be disposed of to per­ sons on the coast towns and so on to tbe natives in the interior, for ivory and slaves, nine thousand, five hun­ dred and eightv-eigbt cases of New England rum, or about tl',000,000 gal­ lons. For every bible sent into “heath­ en” lands by England there has gone a barrel of liquor, and now New England is reaching for the souls of tbe victims of New England rum as one of tbe readiest roads to ruin. Why does the public, by its courts of justice, rob.people by charging them with tbe expense 'of arrest and trial, when they are not found guilty of tbe offense as charged! A poor man or woman is arrested, and taken to prison over night or to trial. His innocence is clearly established, or his guilt is not proven; then, to be on the safe side, tbe defendant is dismissed on payment of costa, when, in fact, he should be compensated for tbe time lost and the expense incurred in his defense. No matter how innocent a man may be or how high be has to car­ ry his case in order to prove it* the treasury into which go tines should be opened and all bis expenses reimbursed to him. Here is a matter people should think of, and apply the remedy, that justice may not be saddled and ridden into and out of court of Justice. President Cleveland removed Gov­ ernor Baxter, of Wyoming, for protect­ ing railroad men in keeping up tbe fences they bad erected on Govern­ ment land, in connection with railroad land. Tbe United States Court has decided that tbe owners or lessees of railroad lands may enclose their lands, and may enclose Government lands with theirs, if it is necessary to do so in order to enclose theirs. This decis­ is good law and at tbe same time ex­ onerates Governor Baxter, who knew better than a President what to do and whom to defend. President Cleveland is now as desir­ ous that Governor Hill shall be renom­ inated aud run as the democratic gov­ ernor as be was some time since to pre­ vent bis being a candidate for the pres­ idency. Thejtruth is, New York is not certain for either political party, es­ pecially so far as president is con­ cerned, though it is safe to count on the re-election of Gov. Hill by a large ma­ jority, in case be should consent to run and should re-nominated. The Democratic boycott of tbe Bel­ levue Gazette has resulted, as such af­ fairs usually do, in bringing out the Gazette squarely for the Republican ticket and party. We understand that the Democrats feel pretty sore, but-a re trying to console themselves through a page which they have purchased in the Charlotte Leader. ^og Cabins were the waK, n,OHt prominent feature EzUljKKKof the presidential catnpaign of 1840. At the of the campaign rhe opposition aneeringlv proclaimed“Tippecanoe” liMrnson a tow fellow, “born m a log cabin./ His friend* at once made the Log Cabin the emblem of the moat en­ thusiastic of camapigDA.

Then he went into a saloon, took a few drinks and went up town. With­ in seven years this man has buried five brothers. Four died under the inannjty of delirium tiemens, and tbe other by suicide, after he had, on a drunken oc­ casion, lost about $8,000 in gambling at faro. Still these little incidents iu bis own family are to him of less ac­ count than those he hears qfr-In the democratic city of New York, yhere there are thirty-one miles of kaloon fronts, tbe use of-liquors prodaceaffuliy two thousand cases of insanity each year, and leads 73,000 victims into the police pens of tbe city. One bushel of good coru makes four gallons of whiskey, selling at $10 at retail. The government gets $3.60 of tlita; nearly twenty-five per cent, of ita retail value. Of this sum $2.Q0 goes to office-holders. The farmer gets forty cents a bushel for hie corn, at times. Tbe railroad gets $1, tbe distiller $3, tbe vendor |7, the consum­ er gets drumk and is ruined, and his family get the cold shoulder from all those who have made money from tbe deal. . A preacher in Bridgeport read to his congregation a chapter from tbe Bible in which was this: “And I saw the heaven open and behold a white horse.” Then a ten-year-old boy, sitting near the door, said quite aloud: “and a red-, headed girl.” The effect on the audi­ ence waa electrical as it turned to see the boy, who arose and went out, ac­ companied by a man who appeared to be his father. Of tbe 400 exclusive society families of New York city, to which no addi­ tions of tbe elite can be made, only seventeen have records clear of rob­ bery, forgery, murder, embezzlement, seduction, illegitimacy or some dis­ gracing episode somewhere prominent among some ot their members, within the past three generations. With a post office to every 1,000 inliabitante, and a tavern, saloon, drag store, or other place where liquors are eold, to every 386 inhabitants in thia country, the arrivals in hell are natur­ ally greater than in Castle Garden.

What is the secret bond between twin* which makes one sufl'er from tbe pnin tbe other feels, however distant? That thia in some degree in true there are num« ous instances. Here is one from Tif­ fin, Ohio.: "Charles Foncanon, aged 25, got bis arm in a planer at tbe churn factory, and it was ground to a pulp to the el­ bow. At the exact time this happened, 2:45 p. m., bis twin sister, living over a mile away suddenly cried in great agony, saying that there was a fearful pain in her arm. She suffered so in a few minutes thut a physician waa sent for, and soon after he arrived three oilier physicians arrived, bringing her brother, whose arm they proceeded to amputate at once. When the bister had first been taken with tbe pain she bad cried out: “Ob, Charier is hurt?” "While tire arm of het brother waa being amputated tbe sister, who was kept in another part of the bouse and did not know what waa going on suf­ fered terrioly and screamed with agony. It waa necessary to give her an injection of morphine iu tbe arm to quiet her. Since then, whenever the brother is unusually reatleaa or sufiers much, the sister suffers in a similar de­ gree.” “Now, James,” said the groter to the new boy, “our stock is first class in every respect; there are no flies on it and never will be, and yon mustn’t he«itate to crack itnp to customers.” Then James, profoundly impressed, went to wait on an old lady, who pres­ ently went out without buying. "What did she want, James?” in­ quired tbe grocer. . “She asked if we bad any fly paper I could recommend, an* I said yes, that there was no flies on our fly paper, an’ never would be.” Peculiar preparation of togred.ents.

Yea, I think he wrote tbe piece called Flutters that appeared In Uie last issue, in which be mentioned our name once or twiceHow do your people like the new firm! Well, to tell the truth, they feel a little bit "spicious” of them and think they may be as full of skip per* as their cheese is, and are liable to skip out some night with more than they came with.

A recent French writer computes that England has 200 millionaires, the United States 100, Germany 50, Austria 50, France 75, Russia 50, India 50, und the rest of the world 125.

Senator Jones is put down for $100,000,060. These are gross misstate­ ments. We doubt if Gould's holdings would sell for $100,000,000. Mackay, Dot so long ago, had to borrow a few millions from Fair to make good an un­ fortunate wheat deal. Senator Jones had about $7,000,00J when he first came to Washington, but it rapidly dissolved in speculation, and however lucky he may have been in Alaska, we doubt if he will ever see as much money in his grasp again.

Ab Unknown Knight. z— They came slowly along Lafavette Place—a tired, bonv horse, drawings wagon with an old body with the paint worn off, the wagon filled with kindling wood. On the wagon seat sat a boy about fifteen years old. He had no overcoat, a felt hat with the brim more bent and dented than the most extremely fashionable hat you ever saw. The old, tired horse drew up close to the curb, and seemed to be glad of the _ opportunity to rest. The boy on the wagon seat jumped down, and soon was shoveling tho wood into n barrel, which he delivered into a neighboring basement. He presently returned with his empty barrel, whistl­ ing. As he threw his " barrel into the wagon, a lady started to cross the tjtreet, over the snow; but. when she reached the middle of the street, she found a broad, deep puddle of soft slush. -She stood perfectly still, and apparently very much puzzled. The bov took in the’situation ata glance. He ran .to the back of the wagon, got his shovel, and with a bright smile .to the lady, began shoveling tho slush up onto the snowbank. He made a clean path to the stones, and then, without giving the lady an opportunity to aay a word, sprang * onto the seat of his wagon, tprew the shovel into the bottom of the wagon, gatherd up his reins, and, with a cheery “Get up!" drove away. Now, did not* that prove thot boy a gentle­ man? The picture of Sir Walter Raleigh spreading his mantle at the feet of Queen Elizabeth came into mind; but at once the thought come, “Whv, this boy is a greater knight than Sir Walter Raleigh, for he knew that it was the Queen at whose feet he laid the elegant clonk; but this boy did not have the faintest idea who the lady was that he served so nobly, and did not permit her even the opportunity of thanking him, but acted throughout as if there was nothing else to be done." He had only his muscle to help a lady, and he laid it at her service. It takes more than handsome clothes, a pair of kid gloves and fashionable hat to make a gentleman.—Christian Union. In a humble room in one of tho poor­ est streets of London. Pierre, a father­ less French boy, sat humming by the bedride of his sick mother. There was no bread in tho closet, and for the whole day he hod not tasted food. Yet he sat humming, to keep up his spirits. Still, at times, he thought of his lone­ liness and hunger, and he could scarcely keep the tears from his eyes; for he knew nothing would be so grateful to his poor, invalid mother as a good, sweet orange, and yet he hod not a penny in the world. The little song he was singing was his own. one he hr.d composed with air and words; for the child was a gbnius. He went to the window, and, look­ ing out, saw a man putting up a great bill with yellow letters, announcing that Madame Malibran would sing that night in public. “Oh, if I could only go!” thought little Pierre; and then, pausing a mo­ ment, he clasped his Lands, and Iris eyes lighted with a new hope. Run­ ning to the. little stand he smoothed down his yellow curls, and, taking from a little box some old stained pa­ per. gave one eager glance at his mother, who slept, and ran speedily from the house. “Who do you say is waiting for me?” said madam to her servant. “lam al­ ready worn out with company.” “It is only a very pretty little boy with yellow curls, who says if he can just see you, he is sure you will not be sorry, and he will not keep you a mo-, went." “Oh, well; let him come!" said the beautiful ringer, with a smile. “I can never refuse children." Little Pierre came in, his hat under his arm, and in his hand a little roll of paper. With manliness unusual for a child, he walked straight to the lady, and, bowing, said: “I came ta-see you, because my mother is very rick, and we are too poor to get food und medicine. I thought that, perhaps, if you would only sing my little song at some of your grand concerts, may lie-some publisher would buy it for a small sum; and so I could get food and medicine for my mother.” The lieantiful woman rose from her seat. Very tall and stately she was. She took the roll from his hand, and lightly hummed the air. “Did von compose it?” she asked, “von, a little child! And the words? Would yon like to come t<Hny concert?* she asked. “Oh, yes!" and the boy’s eye* grew bright with happiness; “but I couldn’t leave my mother." “I will send someliody to take care of Sour mother for the evening. And here I a crown, with which you may go and get food and medicine. Here’ is, also, one of my tickets. Come to-night; that will admit you to a seat near me.” Almost beside himself with joy, Pierre bought some oranges, and many a little luxury beridea, and carried / ring his little song? Breathless, ho waited. The band, the whole band, struck up a little plaintive melody. He knew it, and clapped his hands for joy. And, oh! ■how she sang it! It was so simple, so mournful. Many a bright eye dimmed with tears, and naught could be heard but tho touching words of that little song—oh, so touching! Pierre walked home as if he were walking on the air. What cared ho for money' now ? Tho greatest ringer in all Europe had sung his little song, and thousands had wept at his grief. Tbe next day he was surprised l>y a visit from Madame Malibran. She laid her hands on his yellow curls, and, turning to the sick woman, said: “Your little boy, madame, has brought you a a fortune. I was offered this morning, by the best publisher in London, £300 for his little song! and, after he has re­ alized a certain amount from the sale, little Pierre was to share the profits. Madame, thank God that your eon has a-gift from Heaven The noble-hearted, 'singer and the woman wept together. As to Pierre, always mindful of him who watches over the tried and* tempted, he knelt down by his mother’s bedside, and ut­ tered a simple but eloquent prayer, asking God’s blessing on the kind lady who hod deigned to notice their afflic­ tion. The memory of that praver made the singer even more tender-hearted, and she who was tho idol of England's no­ bility went about doing good. And, in her earlv, happy death, he who stood by her bed and smoothed her pillow, and lightened her last moments by his undying affection, was the little Pierre of former davs—now rich, accomplished, and one of the most talented composers of the 1— ' Death of Eminent Men. There is one advantage in being humble, unimportant individual in this world, one is permitted when ill to re­ main in pence and retirement in bis chamber, and if compelled to die he may obtain final repose quietly, and, as divorce lawyers say, without pub­ licity. It is not often that he is dis­ turbed by the presence of more than one doctor, and his calls are usually brief. There nre no hourlv bulletins sent out concerning the patient’s con­ dition—how be sleeps, what he eats, how often he rolls over in bed, how long he sits up, and what he says. Nor is there n mob of newspaper reporters on the sidewalk eager to interview any servant or other member of the house­ hold who happens to step out of the front door. And no considerable num­ ber of the curious public stand in the street watching tbe feeble night lamp, speculating as to what is going on in the sick room and whether or not the patient will survive until morning. All this is spared the humble individual, and in cities it is }x>ssible for him to be dead and buried for some time before his neighbors or even many of his friends ore aware that he has been ill. Herein the person aforementioned lias a great advantage over the man who occupies a position of renown. The latter is never allowed to be sick in peace or die quietly. The most trifling indisposition u mentioned in the news­ papers, and if his illness bo at all ol a serious nature it is immediately tel­ egraphed all over the world. Ars the danger increases the doctors multiply, a danger in itself, we are led to think. When the distinguished patient opens his eves he cannot see his sympathizing family on account of the number of doctors who surround his couch. And while the ethics of the profession will not allow any of thesa M. D.’s to adver­ tise, we observe that most of them are fond of talking about the case with the reporters hovering outride, who are sure to spread their views before tho public in the newspapers. Then there is the mob of distinguished people who feel that they must call on the dis­ tinguished patient, or the country will not forgive them; and another mob who wish to be considered distinguished by doing the same thing. The afflicted family, broken down with sorrow and long vigils, must be deluged with tele­ grams from people all over the country, whom they don’t know, asking how ho is and offering their commiseration. And then if lie dies, those who nre nearest and dearest to him are not al­ lowed the sad privilege of laying him quietly in his grave with tender, loving hands. There must needs be great pomp and circumstance, ostentatious mourning and parade. Sorrow not, humble reader, because you are not distinguished in this world. You will be able to get out of it more comfort­ ably than your eminent brother.— Texas Siftings.

No one * hod ever caught her in his strong arms in a quicker embrace that seemed to scrunch her whole being. Summers came and went. The dews on the upland succeeded the frost on the pumpkin... The grand ratifica­ tion of the partridge ushered in the wail of tbe turtle dove and the brief pitink of the muskrat in the gloaming. And yet no man had ever dost to come right’ out arid pay attention or keep company with her. She hod an emo­ tional nature that just seemed to get up on its hind feet and pant for recogni­ tion and love. She could have almost loved a well-to-do man who hod per­ haps sinned a few times, but even the tough and erring went elsewhere to re­ pent. One day she came to town to do some trading. She had priced $7.50 worth of goods and was just crossing Broadway to price some more when the gay equipage of a wealthy humorist with silver chains on the neck yoke and foam flecks acrost the bosom of the nigh hoss, came plunging down the street.

A strange story of eccentricity fleatwi out of a chamber of death in the city of Chicago the other day. For s dozen years James Hutchens had n^t spoken a word to his wife, to whom he had been married thirty years, although thev livwl beneath the same, roof aud ate* at the same table. The husband wm taken ill and a physician was sum­ moned. The man of pills felt his fee­ ble pulse and said that life wm ebbing fast. Mru. Hutchens burst into tears. The dying num gazed steadfastly into her face, but uttered not a word. Kneeling by hi* side she threw her anna around hi* neck, kissed the brow on which the dew of death wm settling, and implored him to forget the unhappy past and speak to her just once before he died. Slowlv he raised ’ his headand his lips parted as if to speak, but the words came not, aud he gave one convulsive ahudder and fell back a corjise. Moro than twelve years ago Hutchens hod an intimate friend named Henry Borroff, who often visited his house. One evening Borroff called be­ fore Hutchens returned from work. He sat down, and presently Hutchens came in. “Hello, Borroff; how are you?” said he. “How d’ye do, Jim?” said Borroff, and the conversation pro­ ceeded socially for an hoar or two, when Borroff went home. As soon m the door closed behind him Hutchens charged his wife with infidelity. He burst into a furious passion. He would hear no reply or explanation, and ended the scene by locking him­ self up in another room. Mrs. Hutch­ ens could not understand it. Their married life, had been happy until this time. She dried her tears, got supper, knocked on her hus­ band’s door and told him supper was ready. He ate his meal without a word, and in sullen silence smoked his pipe until bed-time. She made one or two attempt* to say something, but could get no reply. He retired to their bedroom, while she spent the night in another room. In the morning it was tho Bamo way. He. ata. hi* breakfast and went to work an mute as a post. This life went on for days and weeks and years, he never saying a word to her. ’ Sometimes he wrote his reqnest* oh a piece of paper. Sometimes she called in a neighbor’s child, and talked to him through the child. He always spoke pleasantly on these occasions, but frowned and liecame stern if she ventured to address him directly. Mra. Hutchens, the neighbors say, used to cry a groat deal, and two or three times har husband was seen to weep vio­ lently when ho thought he was not ob­ served. But of late years both have gone on in a matt*r-of fact way. Mrs. Hutchens cared for him, gave him medicine, and performed all the offices of the sick-chamber. He never spoke to her, and accepted her attentions in the same silenee he had observed for twelve years.—Chicago Ledger. The Fhhrs or the Sea. Though no sharp line of separation can l>e drawn, marine fishes are rough­ ly divided, for convenience, into .three categories: Shore fishes, which habitu­ ally frequent coast lines, and rarely de­ scend to a greater depth thuti 300 fath­ oms; pelagic fishes, winch inhabit the open sea, most of them spawning there alone, and the deep-sea fishes, which live where the influence of light and surface temjierature is but little felt. The shore fishes, according to Heilprin,. number upwards of 8,500 species. The northern range extends to or beyond the 83d parallel of latitude, but in the Southern Hemisphere they ore not known to go beyond the fXJth jiaralleL In the different*’zones these fishes uro largely identical in both the Atlantic and Pacific basins, as well as on the opposite side of these basins. Tropical waters, however, produce a greater abundance and diversity of forms than those of temperate regions, while thi reef* give to tho Pacific and Indian Oceans more specie* than the Atlantic. Our still very meager knowledge of the jielagic fishes is sufficient to indicate that the numtar of such types is very limited. They diminish rapidly from the equator, and become rare beyond the 40th parallel. Of the deep sea fishes Gunther enumerated upwards of fifty forms BUp|K>sed to have been obtained from depths exceeding 1,000 fathoms, twenty-six from depths exceeding 2,000 fathoms, and nine from 2,500 fathoms or over. Other species have since been obtained by the Talisman and Al­ batross, one from the extreme depth of 2,000 fathoms.—Chicago Journal.

Mrs. Jones was somewhat excited .and nervous over the affair that had happened; tot, as yet, she did not know of the perilous position in which her htutoud was placed. She had been afraid that her husband would get hurt, and now Johnny’s pale, anxious face only doubled her fears. “Mother, this is a serious affair; don't you know where Mrs. Rico'is? "No. Johnny, of course I do not; but what makes you Idok so pale and worried?" "Oh, mother, it is all so terrible I hate to tell you I" “Speak, Johnny, my toy; I must, I will know all.

Johnny and a servant girl applied restoratives, and in a short time Mrs. Jones began to show signs of recovery. As soon as the brave, kind bov could leave his mother he quietly stole from the house and hurried down the read toward the Rioo farm-house. Just as he came in night of the front gate he saw a man slipping along the feiice, and recognized him as "Swarthy Jim, the rag peddler." Like a flash the angry flush lighted Johnny's pale, handsome face at the sight of this man. A tire of the bitterest hatred burned in his breast, aud then and there he swore to have revenge uixm this man. “Ah! old Jim, I see you are out of place here just now. and I know you are here for no good purpose, but I in­ tend to watch you," hissed Johnny, in deep, low tones of awful hatred. “les, there he goes, stealing his way into the gate, just like the thief that he is; but, by the power of Him who made me, I will bo even with him this time, and he will not leave that house a live man if I do not gain my pur]M>se. ” Had not Johnny quickly hid himself tohind some bushes that grew near the gate, these two men would have met face to face, but, fortunately for tbe wiry boy, he had again escaped this desperate man. With stealthy, quiet steps, Jim ad­ vanced up the long gravel walk toward the front dour of tllat doomed, sad­ dened home, little sus]>ecting that he was watched.' “Hu! old Jim. you think the coast clear; wonder where Mrs. Rice can be; see! lie walks straight in the house as if he was * Lord of the Manor,’ but he will not come out in quite so brave a manner! “Why! now I know what he is after, and why did I not think of it before?

As soon a« Jim had disappeared into the house Johnny quietly glided from his hiding jdace, and, jumping from bush to bush, he soon reached the house, without being discovered by Swarthy Jim. To the front of the house was a long veranda, and the west and part of the side was entirely inclosed by Ixttice work, up which trailed the creeping rose vine, now in ita richest bloom. Behind this close net-work Johnny could easily hide himself, and yet see Swarthy Jim, as he cume out of the door. “Ah! you old rascal, I have you Dow; this little pistol of mine has doao well to-day; two villains less, and, unless you drop those at the first shot, you will drop at the second.” Scarcely had these mutterwl threats escaped Johnny’s lips when Swarthy Jim appeared at the door, with a small wooden box under his right arm. At sight of the box Johnny’s eyes flashed fire; he aimed at the right arm, and os Jim stepjied to the ground fired. The shot had the desired effect, for the box dropped to the ground, as Jim uttered a fearful shriek and darted down the long gravel walk out of sight. As Jim disappeared, Johnny sprang from his hiding place, seized the box aud ran to his home. After a hasty expla­ nation of ita contents to his mother, ho again started for the thicket.

The boy smokes better tobacco in his cigars to-day than his father did twenty years ago, according to William Fitz­ patrick, who say* of the weed: “Cigars are cheaper to-dav than they were twenty years ago. That is a bet­ ter grade of tobacco is used in the man­ ufacture, -while the prices remain wheru they were. Cigars certainly hold thejr own, as they are increasing in projxirtion to the smoking population. Our best domestic cigars are made from the leaf that grows in Sumatra. With a good filler these cigars are regarded as godd as the average imported brand. We are making a cigar now which is sold at $35 a thousand, and I well re­ member that this cigar was made up twenty years ago and waa sold at $<55 a thousand. There is a growing demand for this form of smoking. Those who desire a strong smoke, however, and smoke at home still use the pipe. That there is a new brand of cigarettes in the market almost every week shows that there is an increasing demand for light smoking.”—Kingston Freeman.

This pleasant little city has been thescene or wild excitement for several days, and crowds of turbulent jieople havethronged the rtreeta. Frank Gallup, theterror of this section of Iowa, has met a. just reward, being killed by s militiaman after having himself fatally shot two men and seriously wounded others. Frank. Gallup has been a terror to tho com­ munity for over eight years, during which, time he has figured conspicuously in sev­ eral fights and shooting affrays and served^ a term in jail. Preceding this tragedy only one day waa another of almost aaaensstional a nature, and which brought large crowds to Shenandoah from adjacent towns. Frank Phillips, aged 25, outraged a 6-year-old child of F. J. Pine. Ho waa= arrested and put in the city jail under a.. strong guard. At night a mob overpowered, the guard, forced an entrance into the jail^. took Phillip* out. and after tarring and feathering him whipped him with a black­ snake whip. Officers rescued him from themoband again placed him in jail. Tho mobwarned him to leave town, but he was de­ fiant. and swore vengeance. This so en­ raged the men that they .returned and? again sfonood lhe jail, took* him out, and drew him up to a telegraph pole. Ho waa let down when he confessed the crimeOn condition that he would leave the coun­ ter he wasreleMed. Phillips was a friend of Gallup’s, and both of them were thoencmie* of Pine. Frank Gallup and hishulf-witted brother had been drinking, and partially intoxicated went to the homeof their father, across the street from where Frank lived. A quarrel ensued, and the old man was severely pounded. 'His cries for help brought a crowd of citizens to the rescue, F. J. Pine among them. Frank Gallup went out to meet, them, and without a word of warning deliberately «hot Pine. The others fled, and gathering a crowd of armed citizens returned to tho house. Gallup's father told them his son had escaped. The milfitia was called out, and telegrams describ­ ing the outlaw sent iu all directions. After a short time it was learned that Gallup had not escaped, but was concealed in hi«father’s house. This news took u crowd of a hundred men, including militia Com­ Eany E, Iowa National Guards, to the ousc of .the old man. Gallup, who hod joined the crowd, declared that Frank was not in the bouse. Thecrowd hesitated as if nt a losswhat course to pursue When T. E. Pat­ terson, a traveling salesman for R. P. Smith Jc Son. of Chicago, stepped out and a>-ked that a peace officer deputize a posseto search the bouse, and offered to lead them.

Gallup's shot whistled just past Patter­ son's head and struck T. H. Winfrey, » militiaman, in the right leg. ■ At this juncture the shooting was rapid and lively. Gallup's mother camo outand gave him more cartridges and in go— a juuuff uaiucci aioroni rtctcuerr knocking him down. Gallup, seeing him­ self hard pressed, started to run. As hepassed young Fletcher, who was just, staggering to his feet. Fletcher gaye it to him from the left side, having barely timeto swing his musket around and shooting off-hand. The ball struck Gallup in tho left arm. passed through his body and right arm, and on through the side of tho house. Gallup’s wife appeared and told them her husband was dead. But, fearing furtber treachery from the family, they refused to take her word for it until the end of a rope that was passed to her war fastened about bis neck. Then with wild cheers the crowd ran down the main street, dragging the naked body through tbe dirt to the city hall, where it was left on the floor. After car­ ing for the dead and wounded tho crowd went back to the bouse after the old man, but he had escaped and left town. Hie wife waa arrested and placed in the city­ jail. Later on the old man was also ar­ rested and jailed. The wildest excite­ ment prevailed. Pine's remains weretaken to his old home at Galesburg. XU-*. for interment.

THE GRAND RAPIDS HAND-MADE BOOTS AND SHOES Have become so well-known to the public, and have been so thoroughly tested that it is superfluous 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 boot and shoe 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 Stuck and no Paste Board, Leather Board, Paper, or any other deleterious stock in them; and as the only au­ thorized agents of the Grand Rapids Hand-Made Boots and Shoes we are instructed to war­ rant every pair.

Hot talk and threats are a disgrace to any person of Respectability, and are becoming altogether too common in this town. The cqrb-stone politicians had a great time saving the country last week. So long as we have such zeal­ ous patriots, like those who rushed to the rescue of our common country on Saturday, we need fear do great na­ tional evil.

The esiliest helmet* were made of either rawhide or thick cloth, the folds so padded a* to resist «v*n a heavy sword siroka. Very effect­ ive, too, were those helmets.

AXD rawhide, while exceedingly light, is also remarkably strong, nn instance of it* usefulness beiugseeu in the fact that even in the days when steel helmets were most popular an occasional spasmodic return would be made to rawhide or padded cloth helmet*. Tho metal helmet first rapears in’Egypt and Assyria. Gener­ ally it was only a skull cap of brente-or iron, ornamented by an occasional boss er simple carving. . The helmet first appears in Europe among tho Greeks, this warlike people early making use of this protective armor bey and formed thv cre»l on tbs helmet of the famous Birhsrd II.; it is a lion stand­ ing above ths helmet, and on either aide of ths cre«t i* a single straight feelher. Th* mo*i unique of all dsvke* I* that of a certain French knight who, io strike terror into the heart* of hl* enemies, or­ namented hi* crest with the head of a devil, with green eye* and long, bushy, red hair. Some of the state helm* of mediwval time* were made with very curious and intricate pattern*. Au Italian helmet of the sixteenth centuiy, having visor, neck piece* and even flapi, is gold, silver and steel beautifully carved, the croet in trant being a woman * head surmounted by the . flying golden dragon with a long curly tail. This verv beautiful specimen of a parade helmet. It was something like Italian handicraft was used for ornament the last-named pipes, but instead of hav­ ing a round top the upper portion went off in a point like an old-fashioned night cap; the crest was pointed and all parts of the helmet were profusely decorated. There were carving* on the flaps, ou th* cap and ou tho arest, and to judge from some of th* descriptions left by ancient historians these helmets were of precious metah and often set with gems of great value. The Roman conqueror* of the world found tbeir helmet* of no small value to them in tbeir military expeditions, since the barbarians among their other pecul­ iarities. were wonderfully skilful in the nse of bow* and sling*, and against these the helmet afforded adequate protection. Onlv ono kind of helmet was commonly u»od by the Roman legionaries. This was 3 skull cap of iron, padded inside, with two cross band* to strengthen it, a neck band behind and a narrow band or small shade in front. The helmets of th* Gauls were very much like those of the Roman*—simple only, and is believed to have belonged to skull cap*, but unique. The Gallic hel­ a Venetian general. mets were decorated, sometimes real cow lu the fourteenth century a fashion of horus being fastened upon them, at other making grotesque helmet* sprung up, and times the horns being of iron, the general head piece* were made of all shapes and effect being supposed to inspire terror in .in all likenesses of everything that is in heaven above, ou earth beneath, or in the waters .under the earth. All sort* of birds, beasts, and fishes were imitated in these .head .pieces, and the eflcct of on assem­ blage of knights wearing their helms somewhat resembled that which might be produced by a collection of fabulous ani­ mals. Not the least strange of these, how­ ever, was that which prompted the manu­ facturer of, helmets, the front of which was the likeness of a human face. Many of these were made extravagant; in some the noaea were three or four time* as long as they ought to be, in other* the cheek bone* wore inordinately high, tho chin very long, the teeth protruding, the eyes bulging, or a general fashion of the feathe hearts of their enemies. Indeed, the aspect of a large body of men adorned with these peculiar head pieces must have been strange, to say the least of it, and when the mon wore known to be courage­ ous there is some reason for tho high en­ comium passed upon the Gallic vidor by Roman historians. The Franks had no helmets, protecting themselves only with their shields, which were very large, but the Huns uore helmets of rawhide and iron, the shields being of the same ma­ terial, but very plainly manufactured. Among the Germans and other barbarian* who overran tho Romnn Empire, helmet* won* not popular, even down to the time of Charlemagne. At the time of the Normin conquest of England the helmets were in the shape of a four-eoruered pyramid, the frame being of iron ar.d a strongly podded cap inside, with a nasal iu front, coining down some LTDtAX HELM (CHESTED)—THREE GREEK HELMS. for the bead. The Greeks had armor for the fiout of their bodies, but not tor the back, a true Greek needing no armor for the l>ack of hi* person, because he wa* not supposed to turn hi* back upon the enemy. There aro few helmet* extant certainly known to lie of Greek origin, but en the monuments hundred* are depicted, rad a classification of these gives four kind*, all seen in tho illustration, and all differing in appearance, ia strength, and cost.

She had read <>t hl* neuralgia, and she felt ire that the dry sir of the mountains would tures in such a way as to make the face hideous. Sometimes, however, these hel­ mets were made to resemble th* wearer, a notable instance of which is shown in the illustration, a striking peculiarity qf the helmet being the huge metal mustache, which stand* out a preposterous distance fiom the face. In* this the mediievals were but following a fashion set them thousand* of years before, for in tho grave* of the Gn e’e kings Dr. Schlieman discovered golden face pieces, or so-called masks, bat which may have been the visors distance below the nose, and a short neck­ of their helmets.

' There vm one guest nt our hotel who was nicknamed Mepbistopheles. He was what the girl* called “real devilish." He had a strikingly satanic face—sly. leering, and dia­ bolic—but he was a gentleman in manner*, a heavy ewell of rather the sporting type in dress. Then; was a maiden whom wo called Marguerite, so . weet and Innocent in looks and demeanor was she. One of our photomaniacs spent hours and hour* hunt­ ing thia couple, with a view to finding them posed unawares. He desired to catch Mephistophefe* in an attitude and expression of insinuating deviltry, so as to produce n truly satanic picture at the same time that Marguerite presented a contrasting aspect of coy purity and goodness. Well, he *ucc««eded. Hl* came*p was aimed from a win­ dow. and it caught the pair when, meeting by chance, he Lowed politely and she mod­ estly acknowledged his greeting. We al) felt like kicking that man and kissing that girl. H<>w true it is that every gentleman is ever ready to protect a woman from every other gentleman. The photographer be­ came deeply Interested. He declared that his camera required a moral cleauslng after reflecting our Mephistophefes. and so he took It do4n to a meadow, where some children were playing with sheef. and used it purgatively on that guileless g oup. The nega­ tives were sent to New York with other* to be developed and printed. Four days later a dozen copies came back, and the photog­ rapher gave them to hi* friend*—all but two.

It might have been a Frenchman who said this country had two hundred kinds of re­ ligion and but two different kinds of soup. Come to think about it he said “sauce,” but “soup” would have an­ swered just as well. This popular bev­ erage has many uses. The judicious landlady knows that a first course of the liquid saves considerable wear and tear on the joint of roast which follows, while it warms a boarder's heart and stomach, and makes him view with com­ placency any obscurities in the pedigree of the butter and the coffee. The poor in large cities are fed more economic­ ally on soup by the bloated taxpayers than on quail or mushroom pie., Soup is like a circus prize-package—vo’u can't tell what you may strike. Old liones, stale bread, back-number vegeta­ bles, decayed rubbers, retired brutes, all find tlieir proper sphere in soup— that culinary rendezvous! Soup, uy the authorities,' should be eaten with a spoon—not with a fork, nor even with a knife, however great ite consistency— and should be appropriated from the middle of the side of the spoon, which, in dipping up the fluid, should be pushed away from the operator, not toward him. Mrs. Cleveland and mvself devour our soup on this plan. Of course any confusion suggestive of a murmuring cascade or an inverted jug of cider should be studiously avoided. As I took pains to state clearly at the outset, there are soups and soups and soups; and I might add with equal propriety that there are also soups and soups and soups. FREDERICK ToWXSEMD.

They are smaller than the common sort, the cock having very beautiful plumage; their tails eapecially being gorgeous in green and gold.

Having delivered them there, we went on to New York for transportation back. and started on our return July 8th; I believe that was the exact date. The interval of three days was spent on Governor’s Island. I had two opportunities to go over to the city, and unproved them. I knew that the draft was about to be enforced, and I took some pains to talk with those I met about iL I heard very little said on the subject. I saw no indications of armed resistance, or any resistance. I had occasion to go to the headquarters of General Wool, who commanded there, and to get on order for our transportation back to New Orleans signed by the General personally. But I heart! no whisper of fear of any rising of tho mob, or resist­ ance to tho draft. Nobody seemed to realize that the fires of a lurid volcano ■were slumbering there, ready to burst out in blood and destruction at the Had our departure been delayed three days, I know we should have been ordered over to the city, to face that howling, devilish mob somewhere. There were no troops in the city then; there was only a scant guard in the fort*. Everything was called in that could avail in that awful crisis, until a brigade of the Army of the Potomac could be hurried up to the rescue, and it was then known that New York was safe. During that memorable week there wa* a carnival of blood in the Empira City, beginning in organized resistance to the draft and destruction ot its headquarters, extending to the murder of negroes and the burning of colored orphan asylums, and then, gathering in passion and ungovernable furv and drunkenness, swelling to the pillage and arson of building* indisa criminately, and blind killing for the ' sake of blood. It was a hideous time! People who then lived in New York and survived it, and yet survive it, look back on it as they would on a nightmare. For days the heroic police performed miracles of valor. They charged the • roaring mob everywhere, and without * hesitation, never failing to drive it back when they came in direct contact with it, no matter how great the odds. Marines from the Government ship* that happened to be in the harbor, and a few regular* from the Ibrts, came over and rendered veteran service. The employes of great establish­ ments, public and private, including the large newspaper offices and the Sub-Treasury building in Wall street, were armed and held in readiness, day and night, to repel attacks. Many of these had boiling water constantlv readv, and hose with which to throw it on the mob. It was about the 18th of July that I rejoined my brigade west of the Misaiwippi.

Miss Lucy Robtron, th© English beauty who eloped with her father’s groom, is a tall and graceful blonde, ■ with a wealth of golden hair. She is possessed in her own right of a fortune of $200,000, and, although only 19 years old, has long since proved that she has a temper of her own. Aspin, the groom, is past 35, is married, and has five children at home. He is both homely and illiterate. Philadelphia is said to bo more overcrowded with lawyers than any city in the country.. tThis state of af­ fairs has resulted in the judges raising - tho course of study for students from two |o three years. It is thought this will raise the standard of excellence and diminish the annual crop of attor­ neys. Since Jan. 1, 1875, the Orphan’s Court in Philadelphia has sworn in 1,dOO new lawyers. Accompanied by several assistants, a Deputy United States Marshal arrived at Columbus, Ohio, a few nights ago, having in charge nine Indians of the Apache tribe convicted of murder and sentenced to terms in the Ohio Peni­ tentiary ranging from five years to ten. They had been so securely shackled that it was necessary to obtain the ser­ vices of the prison blacksmith to file the rivets of their irons. has come like a thunderclap upon Charles Cullman, of Cincinnati. While auditing .the books of the Bellevue Building Association, he suddenly turned to one of the bystanders and an­ grily exclaimed: “Why do you turn out the gas? I’m not through yet." "Turn out the gas I What’s the matter with you? The gas is burning." "My God, then I'm blind!" cried Cullman, and, sinking back in his chair, from which he had arisen in his excitement, he buried his face in his hands and moaned like a child. A physician was hastily sent for, and only arrived to confirm the worst fears. Cullman was indeed blind. Without a premonitory sign, without a warning, the blow had come, and ub ho sat there bemoaning his sad fate, his eyes grew dim. Friends took him by the hand, and trembled with emotion as they tried to speak words of hope and comfort. The stricken man only moaned: “My wife! My little ones!" A diagnosis followed, and it was discovered that Cullman had for some time been a sufferer from Bright's disease of the kidneys. The exudations of the albumen from these organs caused anemic blood-poisoning, which gradually pervaded the whole system of the sufferer. Step by step the dis­ ease spread, and contraction of the kid­ neys followed, resulting in inflamma­ tion of the retina or optic nerve, hope­ lessly destroying the sight forever. The case, although not an isolated one, is extremely rare, death generally en­ suing before such a crisis arrives. ‘ Vert few of the present.voting popu­ lation of the United States have ever heard of the tragic death that befell Lieut Montgomery Pike Harrison, brother of Gen. Benjamin Harrison. Ib April, 1849, Capt. Marcy, of the United States army, then stationed at Fort Smith, Ark., received orders from the War Department to organize and command an expedition for the purpose of escorting overland immigrants to Californio, starting from Fort Smith. Among the young officers who accom­ panied him was Lieut Harrison. The command proceeded' to Santa Fe, and returned in the fall of the year to Fort Smith, arriving on the 19th of Novem­ ber. On the evening of tho 7th of Oc­ tober, n?ar the Red fork of the Colora­ do River, Harrison strayed too far from his command, and fell a victim to the treacherous and bloodthirsty Indians. At Melrose, Mass., C. H. Washburn, in works behind a high fence, and to which there was no admittance, has been experimenting with the manufac­ ture of aluminium, that is the direct production from clay of this valuable metal.

The one I have now is out of fashion. I don’t like the shape anyway. I want one of those------ Why, Adolphus, what is the matter?” she suddenlv asked. She might well inquire. Adolphus, pale as a ghost, had suddenly sat down on the chair. “ Y-ou don’t wont me to go and ask for a bustle, do you ?” he asked with a sickly grin. , “Why, yes; what is there in that?" “W-ell, I hardly thought men over asked at a dry-goods store for—for any such thing as—as that,” he explained. “I thought that," she said, “but. of course, if you don’t want to, why Ill— do without," she added, with that ac­ cent of resignation which women bo frequently use and which so exasper­ ates a man. “Oh, no—no----- " Adolphus feebly liegan. "Very well," quickly said Marcella, “I want one of those in semi-circular layers, made of wire - spirals, small at the ends and fat in the center. You know what I mean, don’t you, dear?” “Of course,” said Adolphus, ‘his pride somewhat touched by the detailed description of the desired article. “I’ll get it, of course." He went away cheerfully enough, but his heart rather misgave him when he thought of the task of asking for the mysterious and unique article of feminine wear. He sought out his favorite store and pur­ chased the thread and the ivory-white 'braid and some buttons, going from counter to counter and putting off the dreaded purchase to the lost. “That will be all, I think,” he said nonchalantly, and then added in an off­ hand way: "Oh, by the by, I wish to buy a—a bustle." The girl looked up at him suddenly, but Adolphus riveted his gaze on a case of perfumery and bit his lips. “Next floor for the bustles,” said the girl in a tone of voice which Adolphus thought unnecessarily loud. Several persons having goods near by turned and looked at him. He walked hur­ riedly away and sought the upper floor. He saw nothing that looked like bustles and he approached a floor-walker and said in the softest of undertones: “I would like to see some bustles." The floor-walker wheeled about and shouted like a colonel addressing a regiment: “Miss O’Brien, show this gentleman some bustles!” McSloggerty could have brained him on the spot, for every woman on the floor stopped buying to look at the man who had the nerve to buy a bustle. With his ears tingling and’ a burning face poqr Adolphus walked as bravely as he could across what seemed to him a mile of floor space, gazed atiy hun­ dreds of eyes, to where- a pretty girl with a mahogany red dress and her hair done up in a Sappho knot, stood with a smile, waiting for him. With a look in her eye that Adolphus thought was perfectly devilish she said: “What did you desire?” “A bustle,” said Adolphus, between his teeth. “I beg pardon?” with a deepening smile. “A bustle," faintlv. “Oh, a bustle," she repeated, in a clear, distinct voice, glancing aljput her as she spoke. “Well, what port of a bustle do yon want?" and she indi­ cated a counter piled with strange, wiry things. Adolphus explained. The girl, with the most tantalizing looks, said they didn’t keep that kind, and she looked as if she was glad of it. By this time four other clerks had sauntered up, as if they had just hap­ pened along, although Adolphus could have sworn that the chief of the in­ quisition had signaled them to ap­ proach. They whispered to each other and giggled a little, never taking their eyes off his face as he pawed over the wonderful additions to the female frame, seeking for a substitute for the design Marcella had described. At length h« shut his eyew, put out his hand, and selected the one he touched. “Gimme that, quick," he aaid, chok­ ingly.

He grasped that end with both hands, but there was a tearing sound, the whole package gave way, and tho infernal apparatus straightened itself out with a triumphant twang at being released from the unnsturM pressure. The sweat rolled down McSloggerty's brow, and ho groaned in anguish when a woman came to occupy the other half of the seat in which he sat. His contortions had now attracted the at­ tention of the whole car, and between the tittering of the women and the sar­ castic comments of tfco small boys he felt that life was becoming a burden. The cursed bustle spread iteelf on every side and ho could have sworn that it measured seven feet from tip to tip. The conductor came along and said something Srbout that being no place for bird-houses and that it should be token to the baggage-car. In des­ peration the inferable man closed his eyes and waited for his station. When he arrived he bolted out and never stopped running till he stood before Marcella. Tbe next day Marcella declared be­ tween sobs that she had never heard such language from Dolphy before.

One noted baby born in New York not long ago had a cradle of mother of pearl in the shape of a sea shell, with legs and handle of solid gold, lined with amber satin and with a canopy of satin and rare old lace falling from a gold framework and sweeping the floor. The linen was handstitched and edged with real lace by the fair hands of the happy mother. Five sets of diamond buttons, six gold rattles, a solid silver toilet set, solid gold safety pins, diamond amulets, and. rings enough to cover every little finger and toe were among his baby presents. Then there was a christening and a robe which costs from $100 to $1,000, a mass of rich lace and fine stitching, sometimes made of j>oint lace, and, like a wedding dress, worn at the cere­ mony and never worn again. Money In Electricity. The romance of electric inventions lias not its counterpart in fiction. A little more than a decade ago Tele­ phone Bell, who is now worth $6,000,­ 000, was walking about Washington "on his uppers" and trying to sell his telephone stock for ten cents on the dollar. Shortly before this ho was teaching a deaf and dumb school ia Boston, and his pocketbook was in a continual state of leanness. Now he has an income of hundreds of dollars a day. He is surrounded by fine pictures, owns a magnificent residence, and his soul rejoices in all the fatness which money can give. The telephone gave a great impetus to electrical inventions. The electric light soon followed it. and there is a millionaire in Cleveland, named Brush, who was working Bt $15 a week before he struck the light which turned his poverty into fabulous wealth. I mat an assistant of Edison in New York, and he tells me that the phonograph, which is to be run by a small electric motor, is about perfected, and that it will be in general use be­ fore many months. It will cost less than $100, and one can talk his ideas into it and have them reproduced in the same language and tones in which he uttered them.—Electrical Review.

Mamma hod said “Good-night,” and Ned and Joe were left alone in their little beds. “Joe," whispered Ned, "wasn't that a tint-rate sermon the new minister preached this morning?" “Yes, I guess so,” Joe responded sleepily. “‘Bear ve one another’s burdens.’ I am glad I can remember the text, cause he said he hoped we would. I mean to try and live by it, too, just as he told us’, don't you, Joe?" But this time Joe was fast asleep, and onlv answered by a snore; so Ned lav thinking a few min­ utes longer, and then dropped asleep himself. The next morning ho woke bright and earlv. He had not forgotten liis good rewjlution, and when he said his prayer, he asked God to'help him to be one of His little burden-bearers that day. Then he went to work with will­ ing feet and eager hands. He brought mamma a pail of water from the well and coal and wood from the cellar. He fed the chickens; and when baby Kate began to cry, he put her into her car­ riage and rolled her about in the sun­ shine till breakfast was ready. It was washing-day, and mamma was so busy that, when school-time came, she said she could not spare both the boys, and asked which of them would stay home and take care of baby. Joe looked at Ned and Ned looked at Joe. Both loved their lessons, and were Eroud of the good reports they brought ome. “I don't want to stay," said Joe. “Baby is awful cross." But Ned rememte-red his text and looked up with a bright smile in his blue eyes. “I'll stay and help you, mamma,” he said, bravely. It was not easv work, for Katie was teething, and the day was very warm, but Ned did his lx-st, and succeeded pretty well on the whole. At ’last mamma finished her work and took the baby from his aching anus. “Have I l»een a real burden-bearer to-day, mamma.®' he asked, wistfully. Mamma looked puzzled. “What do you mcafi, dear?" she asked. “Why, mamma, the minister said that everylxxly ought to carry their own burdens, troubles, you know, and then they ought to help other people l»ear their bunlens, too. He said even boys could du it; but I haven’t auy burdens of my own to carry, not one; so I'm trying to help other people.” Tears came into mamma's tired eyes, and she said: “Yea, Neddie, you have l>een mamma's little burden-bearer to­ day." Ned didn’t see the tears, and he felt so very happy that he forgot how tired he was. *By this time school was over, and he went, with an approving con­ science, fbr an hour's play with the other boys.—The Sunlight An ant home is a beautiful mode! of industry and order. There their rule seems to be mild but firm; yet they can lie even warlike when occasion de­ mands. Perhaps in no other situation do they show so well ■their divinely as­ cribed wisdom m when called upon to face the enemy. When ants go forth to battle, it is not with a rush or a confused scramble, for though they have “no guide, over­ seer, and ruler," never was an army more systematic in its tactics. The van is re-formed event few minutes, a new line coming to the front, pushing on for a little distance and then dropping to the rear, thus giving each rank in turn a chance to tdmre in the point of danger. When nearing their adver­ saries, the column hiiltA and masses iteelf together for the grand assault, which is made with imj>etuouB bravery. Nor are they satisfied until one of the parties is entirely overthrown, and this finishes the oombat. It is queer enough to see the columns approach; becoming aware of each other's presence, there ia a momentary pause, during which a thrill like a ripple passes down the line that is plainly visible to lookers-on, creating all the w^y the wildest excite­ ment. Even the ante in the nest catch the spirit as they appear, and rush to­ ward the point of danger, while the op­ posing army hurries up its lagging col­ umns. The pause for preparation is a very short one, after which there comes the shock of battle, and what a strug­ gle there is then. They lock their jaws together, crush sntenn® and legs, grapple in groups of a dozen or more, roll over and over, dash rank upon rank, one seething mass of hot anger and carnage. Soon dead bodies begin to be scattered see tho manner in which they try to ronso up a. wounded comitanion or fallen enemy", rub him with their feel­ ers, and try to lift him on his legs, and sometimes’two or three of them will bo seen aiding some poormoimed ant back to the hill from whence it came, whila around the home there is all the so-, lemnityof a house of mourning; oil­ work ceased, and the wonts of nature for the time forgotten. And if they are nearly gone and there, seems to be the least chance of resusci­ tation, they roll them in the dust, brush them, rub them, then stretch them­ selves upon their dying bodies to warm, them into life if possible. Then they roll them and rub them again if signa, of returning life are visible, and are most untiring in their devotion. Sometimes a legion of large russetante will march in a body with great rapidity, their troop occupying a space of from eight to ten feet long by turee or four inches wide. In a few minutes, they will entirely evacuate the road and* penetrate through a dense hedge into a meadow, winding their way alongthe turf without straying in the least* their column always remaining contin­ uous in spite of the obstacles found in their way. Arriving near a nest of black ante, whose dwellings are built often amid the grass, perhaps twenty feet from the rood, u few of these ants at the door of their habitation, seeing them approach, throw themselves upon those at the head of the army. The alarm, spreading at the same moment to the in­ terior of the nest, their companions rush out in crowds from all the subterranean, passages. The russet ante, the l»ody of whose army hastens to arrive nt thenest, precipitate themselves forward, knocking the black anta head over heels, who, after a very short but sharp combat, retire to the extreme end of the habitation. The russet ante at the same time climbing the 'sides of the hill, even to the top, appear in great numbers in all the avenues. Other groups work with their teeth* making a lateral opening. After suc­ ceeding in this the rest of tjie army penetrate through the breach into the besieged city. They do not make a. long tarry there, for in three or four moments the russets come out again in haste, each carrying in its month a. pupa lielonging to the conquered. These pup® or Iarvn> are nursed by the robbers—who are great kidnapers, as well—and the black ante produced therefrom are afterward found toiling most patiently for the benefit of the spoilers. It is but just to say, how­ ever, that they treat their captives with, the utmost kindness, which is fully re­ ciprocated by these little servants. When we were directed to go to theants to learn wisdom it was well known what faithful instructors we should find them. Surely they are in many ways wonderful teachers.—Exchange- The vigorous determination and ener­ gy which the female sex is showing in the performance of official duties of both private and public nature has re­ sulted in the appointment of numbers of women throughout the Union to­ places of trust and responsibility.

As soon as Mrs. Rice started, John darted across the foot-log and into the thicket Ho went to the place where ho hail left the two dead men lying, but no trace of them could be seen, ex­ cept the blood, which lay in puddles on the ground. After a thorough investigation of his surroundings, he could see no signs of a living creature; all waa still as death, and it was then almost dark. In his despair he knew no better plan than to obtain the whereabouts of the Sheriff and his party. Taking a small whistle from his pocket, he blew it three times. Instantly he waa answered by a re­ turn whistle from one of the Sheriff’s party, and, tearing his way through the matted bushes, he soon reached them. “Hello, Mr. Williams! And what have yon discovered by this time ? This is a mighty close case, sir, and a tough lot of fellows somewhere in tins thicket." “Why, Jones, is this you, really? I had given you up os one of the dead, also.” . _ "No, I am not hurt at all; but what do you mean, Williams? Is any of our partv killed ? “Well, yea, there must be, for we en­ tered this place by the path from Joneslx>rough, and just before we reached the banks of the creek we saw consid­ erable blood scattered round, and, as you did not appear, of course we did not quite understand; we could not be auro who it was that had been hurt un­ til some time after that" * "Very well, I see—and what have you discovered ?" “Well, listen: I searched for some time without any success. Finally I went to the creek and quietly followed it until I came to the ‘big bend,’ where I discovered some footprints in the mud. "Those prints were fresh, and I crept up the bank and hid myself in the bushes to wait and watch. I had been there but a few moments when I heard a male voice, but could see do one. There were two men talking and I recognized Swarthy Jim's voice as one." “Goodheavens! that villain seems tn be everywhere. But go on, Williams. ” . “Well, this happened alxjut two hours ago, and from what I could un­ derstand of the conversation there must be three or four men killed. “I heard Jim tell his pard, or one of the tribe, that- you had killed two of men; then I could not understand of the next sentence, but he said he > mighty glad that they had fixed up that Rice is still a prisoner, and so also is your brother, *s well as your fath- “Oh. heavens; no, Williams; no. What will my poor mother do ? It will kill her if it is true. Those cursed villains ought to be burned at the stake. Thank fortune two of them are out of the way, Did you find out where the prisoners are?" at least, I could not find the place. It is a little low building of some kind on the other side of the creek, that seems "Thon I heard Jim tell the men to go aoma place. but I could not hear where, and sec if the girl was all going up u he did “After I had spent some time exam­ ining the grounds and surroundings, I secretly marked one of the trees. "To-morrow, Jones, I think I shall. find the girl, but wo must give up that point for to-night “Now, follow me, and I think we may be able to find your father and Mr. Rice before it is much later." "All right, Mr. Williams; the sooner we find them the better, for I am al­ most Wild with alarm, for fear all the missing ones will be killed. "Ill wager my life that we’ll never sec that pretty little Lina again. “If she cannot be found before mid­ night all is lost." “Do you think so?" “And why?" “Because she is in the power of Swarthy Jim, one of the most desper­ ate characters that ever breathed the breath of life." “Do you actually think she is in his power?" “Most assuredly I do." “Why so?" “For very good reasons, and more than two." Johnny then told the Sheriff alx>ut Jim trving to steal the {tapers, and how he had thwarted him and secured them himself. “What! Jones, you do not mean to say that you have killed him, too?" “No, but now I wish I had." “Why?" “Because he will earrv off or kill the girl." “But how did he get the papers with­ out Mrs. Rice's knowledge?" "Very easily. She ventured out to the woods in search of her husband and Lina, but was knocked senseless—yes, by jove, right on this very spot, too’." They had just entered the woods, on the other side of the creek. “Ah, ha! See, I am right, Williams, for here is Mrs. Rice's handkerchief— ha—hold; no there is a name! Let’s see—no, only initials—*8. E. N!' Ah, yes, there is another clow to this great mystery." " What! Do you really think it be­ longs to Swarthy Jim?" “I know it does." “Well, this whole affair does seem very strange, indeed. But come, Jones, we must hurry or we will not find the prisoners to-night" “Which way do we go? Down stream?" ’ • “Yea. And if there is one word spoken, or the least noise made, our game is gone. Follow me.” The party walked on for some dis­ tance in perfect silence. “Hist! Jones," said Williams, “see?" Directly in front of them, but some distance off, could be seen a faint light. They all knew the meaning of that light, and about where it was. Every­ man silentlv examined his weapons. ' . By this time it had grown quite dark in the woods—only a few twinkling stars could be seen'high above the lofty tree-tops. They had had no guide to the place where the prisoners were, but now that the light appeared they soon, found it “Jones, there are probably half a dozen of the villains in the cabin. Aro you well armed ?" “Yes." “Well, well close in on them now; but first, let us see whether there isn't two or three on duty ?" "All right, William; while you and the other boys look round for spies, as I am so anxious to see my father, I will steal round to the cabin and see how matters stand. “If I am in (longer I will fire; if not, I will return to you and report." “All right, but bj very careful, my boy, or they will catch you also." ' “I’ll see, sir, that I am not caught.” And he disappeared. With the cunning and caution of an Indian Johnny crept along under bushes and over logs until he come to a small open space. Before him was a small, square build­ ing. From the outside it looked like an old deserted log hut, while the flick­ ering, dim light that shone from the little square hole in the wall might have, to superstitious persons, appear­ ed as if caused by some returned spirit. The inner wall* of this strange build­ ing was stone, and it consisted of two rooms. * There was hut one entrance to this building, and that was now safely barred by a heavy door, securely fastened with large iron bolts. The room in which the prisoners were bound wm about half the size of the building, and the floor waa fully two feet lower than that of the other room; a heavy stone wall separated the two, while the door to that awful dark, damp prison was formed of heavy bars of iron. From the door Johnny could hear no noise within. He quietly listened at the little square window in the wall. He. could now plainly hear two male voice* within, but neither was Swarthy Jim’s. “Did you say that Byl wm shot in the arm by some in ambush?” A Palaubb (Mia Fodrida Prepared vulgarity in the cuataming of children Spacially for Our Fair Readers. “Not jxisitively, but thinks it's the old man Jansa' oldest son. “Syl said ha did not have the time Fashions in Dress, Rotes on Housekeeping now io attend to the young gent, but Affairs, and Other Topics of that I should come over and finish up his father to-night One less, you Interest. know." “And that is what you came over (new tore corr^undence.] here to-night for, is it ?"

It is darker than night in here." The two men slowly and cautiously advanced into the cellar-like dungeon, in which the prisoners had been cast early in the afternoon. A sight too horrible for pen to tell met their sight. The prison floor was partially cov­ ered with water and mold; there was no ventilation whatever, except through the grating of the iron door. ter, with a black tassel in the center.

To bring some of the Graphic's figures down to the present date, supplemental statements are parenthetically added by the present writer. “The newspaper entitled to the distinction of having the largest daily circulation in America is The Chicago Daily News. (Since this state­ ment was made it is possible that the growth of the New York World entitles it to first place.) The Graphic to-day devotes a page to sketches of scenes in and about its establishment The his­ tory of this paper is probably without a parallel in the annals of American journalism. It was founded December 20th, 1875, and was the first low-priced daily successfully established in the West At the end of its first year it had achieved a circulation of about lopoo. From that time on its growth has been remarkable. It now prints seven editions daily, comprising both morning and evening issues. Its statement of circulation for the year 1884 shows a daily average of 125,178 copies, unquestionably the largest daily circulation on the American continent (The sworn state­ ment for 1887 shows a daily average of 165,376.) “In politics The Daily News is always inde­ pendent, never neutral. While its editoral ex­ pression is sometimes vigorous to the degree of severity, there is always in its utterances of opinion so manifest a purpose to be impartial and lair to all opposing interests, that it rarely loses the con­ fidence of the reader, however much it may fail to bring him to an acceptance of its own view con­ cerning the matter in hand. " As a newspaper proper, The Daily News has earned a reputation for enterprising news­ gathering second to hone in the United States. It is the only cheap paper in the West that is a member of the Associated Press. It gives its readers all the news worth giving and gives it for two cents. (Now it does it for one cent a day} ' “ Aside from its own deserving merits as a complete and cheap newspaper, it is doubtless much indebted for its remarkable growth in circu­ lation to the persistent adherence on the part of the other Chicago dailies to the “blanket­ sheet ” style of journalism. Of all the people in America the average Chicagoan is most in a hurry and least inclined to wade through columns of verbiage and stuff The Daily News is the only Chicago daily that has the facilities for giving all the news, and at the same time the good sense to present it in concise form. The result of such a condition of affairs is that The Daily News prints more papers than all the other Chicago dailies combined. . “In considering all the causes which have entered into and produced so phenomenal a jour­ nalistic growth the most important one unques­ tionably nas been the controlling conviction of its managers that the "cheap paper ” should be cheap only in price; that its news should be as fresh and. complete, its editorial discussion as able, and its! general tone and character as pure and heathful as its best and highest priced cctemporary. All, this the “cheap paper” may easily be even at its, reduced price. ' , " The difference of revenue between the twocent paper (even more so when the price is one cent), and the higher-priced “ blanket:sheet,” the latter throws away in useless and unasked for size, that not only is of no worth to the reader, but is even an annoyance, in that it compels him to gleam what is of real news interest from a mass of verbiage and worthless amplication. “ It is because its managers have been wise enough to practically recognize these essential elements of the best American journalism of to­ day that The Daily ’New8> is the best and most popular general family newspaper published in Chicago or the West" It seems hardly possible that an endorsement of merit could be framed in stronger terms than the foregoing analysis, apd yet how much greater Is not the achievement now that such a journal as The Daily News is placed in every man’s hands at the reduced price of ONE CENT A DAY. 71/ truly marvelous enterprise of American journalism can hardly go farther.

THE GRAND RAPIDS HAND-MADE BOOTS AND SHOES Have become so well-known to the ptfblic, and have been so thoroughly tested that it is superfluous to praise them to those who are familiar with their many excellent qualities. To those who have not tried them wq say. they are better beyond comparison than any other boot and shoe made. Their great success and an ever-increasing demand speaks more than anything we could say in their favor.

The total area under cultivation in corn, wheat, rye, and oats in the United States this year is about 140,000,000 acres, or nearly 219,000 square miles. This is loss than half the 322,000,000 acres’ of public lands which have not yet been surveyed, much of which is well adapted to the cultivation of the cereals. The crop possibilities of this country arc far from having reached their maximum. The statue of General Warren at Gettysburg, was unveiled Wednesday. The statue, which stands on -Little Bound Top, where General Warren dis­ covered and thwarted the attempt of the enemy to turn the left of Meade’s line, is of solid bronze and heroic size. It represents the General in full uni­ form, standing erect, in his right hand a pair of field glasses, while his left grasps the hilt of his sword. The at­ titude is supposed to be the one as­ sumed faring the battle of July 2, 1863. ________________ same the agents are traveling over the country with the book and selling it on the strength of her name. Nearly thirty years ago, as a mem­ ber of Congress from the Eighth Dis­ trict of Indiana, Senator Voorhees was on a campaign tour, and stayed at the house of a friend. Before morning dawned a son was born to his host, and naturally the baby was cristened Voor­ hees. On leaving the next day Mr. Voorhees said: “Bring that youngster of yours up in the good old Democratic faith, and I’ll let him have my seat in Congress some day.” That youngster, now Mr. Voorhees Brookshire, has just been nominated by the Democratic con­ vention to represent the Eighth Con­ gressional District of Indiana in the Fifty-first Congress. If he is elected it will be the second time a Democrat has filled the place since Mr. Voorhees was the representative of the district; and then the prophecy made nearly thirty years ago will be literally ful­ filled. ________________ It is recalled in connection with the celebration of the golden wodding of Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone recently that Lady Glynne, Mrs. Gladstone’s moth-, er, was much opposed to the marriage of her daughter with the future Prem­ ier. The good dame was an unbend­ ing aristocrat, and did not think the marriage of her daughter with a com­ moner, the son of a plebeian merchant of Liverpool, was quite the thing. She would have absented herself from the welding but .tliat another daughter was married at the same time and place to a peer—Lord Lyttelton. The young bride, however, had high hopes for her* commoner husband. At a din­ ner party in London some time tafore she became acquainted with Mr. triad­ stone her attention was directed to him by an o’d statesman. “Do you see that tall, handsome young man oppo­ site?" said the latter to Miss Glynne; “note him well and mark my words. If his life is spared he will one day be Prime Minister." The prediction has been three times fulfilled. The young wife has done her part toward its ful­ fillment, and now in her old age is looking hopefully forward to the time when her hustand shall be for the fourth time Premier.

Major Doty has came in and sub­ scribed for the Kicker since the above won in type, and has also contracted for $60 worth of advertising. We take pleasure in informing our readers that he is a business man of the old school, honest, reliable, and truthful, and that as a citizen his record is above re­ proach.

That old, superannuated wind-bag who runs the Weekly Star and calls himself an editor and publisher has again been criticising the yxditical course of the Kicker. We invite and can stand criticism from men of sense, but the idea of an old jail-bird break­ ing the bars in Illinois, robbing a far­ mer of his hogs, and coming West to start a paper with the proceeds and criticise his superiors from week to week is a little too catosh. For the tanefit of the officers of the law we would say that this old cuss, who goes by the’ name of Daniels, is about 50 years old, yellow-faced, long­ nosed, several warts on his chin, and has a game leg.

Even on the lines of a com­ mon settlement, nay from New England and New York, note the differences be­ tween Northern Ohio, Northern In­ diana, Northern Illinois, Wisconsin, aud Minnesota. Or take another line and see the differences between South­ ern Ohio, Southern Indiana, Southern Illinois, and Northern Missouri. But each State, with its diverse population, has a certain homogeneity and char­ acter of its own. We can understand this where there are great difference* of climate, or when one ia mountainou* and the othfer flat. But why should Indiana be no totally unlike the two States that flank it, in so many of the developments of civilized life or in re­ tarded action; and why should Iowa, in its entire temper and spirit, be so un­ like Illinois ? One State copies the in­ stitutions of another, but there is al­ ways something in ita life that it doe* not copy from any other. And the per­ petuity of the Union rests upon the separateness and integrity of this State life. I confess that I am not bo much impressed by the magnitude of our country as I am by the -wonderful sys­ tem of our complex government in unity, which permits the freest develop­ ment of human nature, and the most perfect adaptability to local conditions. I can conceive of no greater enemy Jo the Union tlian he who would by any attempt at further centralization weak­ en the self-dependence, pride, and dig­ nity of a single State.

CHAPTER m-lCONTlNUKD.] The two went to work, and in a few minutes had released the poor sufferers from their perilous position. They were leaving the detestable, ■sickening place when Johnny's quick ■ear caught a faint moaning at a distant corner. . “Hark! Williams; I hear a moan. Who san it be ? Thia way with your lantern, quick; perhaps it’ may lie my father, or—or maybe it is that poor beautiful girl 1" Williams quickly glanced at John’s pale, anxious face, and what he saw there told him alt In a damp, dark corner lay the al­ most lifeless form of Mr. Jones. “Great heavens! he is dead! My poo»«mother, my poor mother; what ■will you do?" . ' Then he raised his father in his strong arms and gently pressed his ear 4o the almost silent heart. . . "Thank God! He is not dead. Ah. but nearly so from the loss of blood." The two then carried the almost life­ less body out in the fresh air, and gently laid it on the soft velvety moss. During this time the rest of the party had‘found and lighted the lamp that had been extinguished when Johnny had fired. They had searched the room long and thoroughly, and were about tq give up in despair of finding any secret door when one of the party discovered a spring knob resembling* one of the nails of the flc»or. It was tightly pressed, when to their great BUYprise a trap door flew ojwn and they then plainly saw how the other thief hod so easily escaped. A pair of steep, narrow steps, led down into a dark damp room. “We must go down, bora, for he is certainly hiding somewhere near here." They were soon searching the floor and ■walls of the lower room. “Noone is here, you see, and it seems almost impossible to find a secret door." “But there is one somewhere, and it must be found.” After another long and close search one of the party found a small, round, yellow stone, different from the rest. He pressed it once, twice, three times; then a door opened in front of liim as gentlv as a leaf falling in tlie sir. “AL! What means all this, boys? Are we entering an enchanted region, or is it all one horrible dream ?’ “I don’t know anything about en­ chanted regions, but this does seem very strnnge. Let us go in and see what we can find” As the door swung open a bright light flashed in their eyes and u sweet­ scented, warm air fanned their cheeks. After crossing a short corridor that Mparated the two rooms they entered one of grandeur and beauty' fit for a king in the glory of his reign. The room was not large, but roomy, and brilliantly lighted by candles placed in gold candlesticks that were set with diamonds. The walls had the appearance of •olid gold, while the floor was covered with rose-colored plush. The orna­ ments ol the room were made of gold, and from manv flashed the bright light of the pure diamond. A few 'choiee oil pointings hung on the wall, while in the center of this room was a table on which were placed many strange and beautiful curiosities that had been gath­ ered from all i*aits of the globe. One ride of this room was bimutiful, delicately colored plush, hpng on rods of gold. The euitaln* were trimmed, and slightly looped from the center, with gold Lnnge It seemed to the lookers on that rather, that thia curtain waa a partition.

This grand splendor and brilliancy did nut jwiirify young Jones, for the man in front of him he reoogniaed to be the second party he had seen in the room above. . “It will he of no use to you, Master Jones, to become angry with me and wiih for my arrest, because you have no chance or right to do so. “This house is now in my possession, aud these rooms were prepared for the girl yon have known ax Liua Rice." “I simply wish justice, sir." “You have your reward, Johnny Jones; you haVe driven her away; whom you would have laid down your io- aavel" “You lie! I havR driven no one away, but to-day have sent three of your worthless villains to eternal jranishment, aud,.if the Sheriff does not arrest you immediately, I will shoot yon dead!" “Very well, then, let him come; but, I warn you, he cannot touch me!" As Williams advanced toward this strange, unknown man, he suddenly disapiieared, and the lights went out. CHAPTER IV. The unknown had disappeared, where and how could not be discov­ ered. ’ ' The party soon left the room to re­ turn to the released priso’ners. A litter was hastily made of pawpaw bark, on which Fanner Jones was car­ ried to his home. It was very late be­ fore they reached Fanner Rice's home, and only to find it dark and empty. Mrs. Jones had persuaded her neigh­ bor to remain with her until the “men folk" returntMl. Mr. Jones was carried by four of the party to his house, while Williams and young Jones remained with sad, lonelv Farmer Rice. “Do you feel strong enough how, neighbor, to hear some news ?" "I guess so; but it depends very much upon what it is. I am not strong enough for a very heavy bur­ den.” “Yes, I see; but you must know this, which I wish to tell you; nothing has proven very serious yet, except, I fear, we shall never find little Lina. ” “What! "My boy! Is ay child still in the power of that villain ?" "Yes, my friend, she is." John then related all that had hap­ pened during the day and that evening. The poor old man shook with emo­ tion. while the hot team coursed down his honest, rough, sun-burned cheeks. “Johnny, my boy, may Goa bless and keep you! You have not only saved my life but your father's and brother's also. You have lessened our enemy by three, and I know you have done all vou could to save my pretty, sunnyLaired child.” “Yes, friend. I did all tliat I could." A deep, sad sigh escaped the old man's lips; and then, in murmured, saddened tones, half to himself, half to our Creator, with his hard, bony hands clasped in pleading pity, he raised his dull, dark eyes to heaven; the moon, by this late hour high up among the now dim stars, shone down upon him in his sorrow with a mellow light, as if in respect for the lonely old man. "Father, have mercy upon me! re­ store me my child! She whom you gave me, fifteen long years ago, is now the light of my life. Have mercy, I pray wee." He sunk, limp and powerless, ujxin a moss-cofered knoll, Dear the veranda, while above his head, swayed to and fro by the gentle spring breezes, hung the white snowballs and red rose*. “Johnny, if she cannot be found I am afraid it will be much the worse for me. ” “Neighlwr, believe me, I am as sad as you. I suffer more, now that she is gone, than words or pen can tell. She was my hope, my happiness; now life is void. If she cannot be found I shall not remain here, but go far away. I shall return to the West." “Ah, Johnny, you loved her, too; I thought so. ” ’ . Just then they heard Mrs. Rice com­ ing up the long gravel-walk, ]>ale and trembling. “Ah, Cristo, my dear, good man, you are, I thank God, restored to me alive, but where is little Lina?” She sighed, and looked hesitatingly into her hus­ band's sad, pale face.. “O, I see by your looks, she is lost!" She then threw herself in liis arms, and the two silver-sprinkled heads rested on each other’s shoulder, while sobs of sorrow burst from their lijis, and tears of anguish dropped from their sad, sunken eyes. At sunrise, on the following day. the Sheriff and his party were to meet John in the thicket, and start in search of the secret hiding-place of Swarthy Jim. Just as the sun pee|>ed from the eastern horizon a shrill, sharp whistle rang through the woods, which was answered immediately, only a few rods off. “Hello, John, how do you feel this morning? Fine. I hope; this is a cap­ ital air to hunt thieves in, I tell you. But. I say, how do you feel ?” “All right, thank you. But let us proceed immediately down stream to the tree which you marked yesterday." “All right; are you well armed?” "Yea." "You see, if the girl is there, and they arc not willing to give her up, we must take her by force." • The poor little girl, if they had but known it, was then crib* away. "Very well, Williams; I could send them all to rest with a very good grace, but I am afraid we are too*late." "Keep up courage, Joum ; it is more than proliable that we shall find her, “Yea. In about half an hour the i«rly reached the place on the bank of the creek where Jim and his accomplice had 1hh*d overheard the day before bv the Sheriff. "Hist! halt!*' commanded Williams, where the two sei>ar- upturned or unnoticed. For boon thev searched for. some clue to tut -umierground passage, but all efforts seemed in vain. The party was growing weary, and decided to give up the search for the present. As they started to leave Johnny, more anxious than the rest, lingered behind, still closely searching for ’ a hidden passage. His quick eye caught a alight movement of the ground a few feet from him. and, like a flash, he bounded to the spot. It was but a mole! .Yet anxious, patiently, ho waited and watched the mole as it slowly dtig its wav under the ground. Presently the 'motioned ceased, 'and at that spot lay a peculiarly colored small green rope. “Ah! It is very strange that that should be here. I will keep it, and, in some way, it may be of some use to me.” ’ But the rope wav firmly fastened to something in the ground. He gave it a strong pull, when, to his great surprise, the earth seemed to S've way, and in front of him was a ■ep, dark opening. “Hello, boys; here quick! We have it!" They were immediately by his side, and in a few moments nil lind disap­ peared down the opening. A lantern was produced, but nothing could be seen but a long narrow passage, of which the walls were heavy stone. The party followed the' passage and finally came to a heavyiron door, which was closed, but not fastened. “Ah! this looks bad, .Williams; I am afraid the bird has flown." The heavy door swung noiselessly open on its massive hinges, and the party entered a large, cold, empty room. The room was thoroughly searched, yet no trace could lie found of the little stolen beauty. A few dead coals lay on the fireplace; near the center of the floor stood an old table, while in one corner was a bunch of straw. “Ah! cruel fate. I feared we were too late, and now she is lost, lost for­ ever; perhaps her spotless soul now soars high above our heads." A sad, low wailing Hound rang through the low, damp room and along the narrow, dark passage; poor Johnny Jones fell back against the wall, heavy and hard, like a marble statue. CHAPTER V. As little Lina went tripping through the woods on that bright June morn­ ing, expecting every motnent to meet her kind good uncle, little * did she think of the danger that lay in the path before her, or of the sorrows andioys that awaited her in the future. Like all mortals, she was destined to experi­ ence deejier sorrows than joys; her burd?ns were indeed often more than most could have borne. The fright caused by meeting her captor as she did caused her to faint, nor did she revive until some time after Swarthy Jim had her securely fastened in the underground room where poor Johnny Jones had hoped to find her. It might have been much better for her had she never known where she had been taken, but such was not to be. Finally those great, beautiful eyes slowly opened, and gazed, in a dozed, wearv fashion, around the room. She could not distinctlv remembpr what had happened, and, rising partially from her hard bed of straw, she saw a large, coarae-looking woman standing in front of the fire, whose features were plainly visible by the bright light from the burning coals in the fireplace. Near the center of the room stood an old table, upon which stood an old, smoking lamp. / Like a flash., memory returned to Lina, and- she knew she was in she power of some enemy. ; "Madam, please tell me who you are, where I am, and how I came here?" The old woman turned around with a start, for she thought Lina still un­ conscious. “You are all right, Miss; just lie down and keep* quiet; I can do nothing for you.” “But I won’t stay here! I will leave here instantly, unless you answer my questions." • “If I should tell you, you would know Imt little more than you do now, for you wauld not understand me; rest easy; youshall not be hurt.” "That does not satisfy me madam. I am not a child, but am old enough to understand; speak, I entreat yon; for you certainly possess some spark of womanhood, and you certsfhly possess a heart that beats in sympathy for a poor, lonely, wronged girl.” “I don’t want you to ask me any more questions. Miss, but just lie there and keep quiet. I have done all I can for you, and you will please understand that you cannot leave this room." “Yes, I think I understand. You are in league with the party who brought me here, aud who tried 'to kill my poor unele. Can yon not, will you not, have a little mercy aud release me?"

[NEW YORK COBUEBPOXDKNCE.] September is going to lie a red month as to dress. If the first picture in this article wore printed in two shades of red ink, instead of block, it would be as correct in hue as it is in outline. All through the stunni r red has been a favorite color at the resorts, and all shades from the lightest pinks to the deepest crimson have been flaunted in the faces of the rural turkeys and bulls. That some of the belles have not been tossed on borine/horns is a wonder. Instead of exhausting itself with the summer months, tms red fashion is in­ tensifying itself for the first month of autumn, and September will fairly paint the country red. The fabrics hitherto subjected'to the dyes of blood have been chiefly the thin ones intend­ ed for hot weather only, but the im­ porters made a successful guess that the incarnadine rage would outlast August, and therefore they ordered a great variety of early autumn textures in reds. The gown here illustrated is made of very light-weight and fine flannel, with a strawberry hue for its ground and a deep crimson for its spots. The waist is in a new style, but of that I will write further 'on. Those well-to-do ladies who extend apt to replenish their wardrol»es about the first of that mont^, for September is between seasons, and is a time when it is too late to wear summer toilets with complete satisfaction-, and too early to put on the habiliments of autumn, therefore it is the usage with elaborate dressers to supplement their summer outfits with ar few new cos­ tumes for this final period of outing. The dressmakers who have stores at Long Branch, Saratoga and Newport are almost entirely New-Yorkers, who thus follow their wealthy customers with ‘temptations to purchase new finery. I have made a thorough round of these experts’ New York establish­ ments, and I find them busy with the making of red gowns to be sent to the resorts mentioned, either on orders or to expose for sale. AU the sketches in this letter were drawn from actual tty villa. But the soreud dress is more elaborate, and is surh a one as a l>elle might wear at th« daflv i-onccrt of a hotel oreiHMtra. She might go riding in it, also, tomecdally in making a round of furmxl (•alia.. There is a great deal of cost in thia gown, for the reason that hand embroidery is plenty on the shoul­ ders, bosom, and down the front of the skirt. The principal fabric is a cotnLiuatinu of silk and wool. The so«h which «nwraps the corsage and is tied in a lx>w nt the left aide, with the ends hanging to the hem of the akirt. is in this in­ stance dark-lirown plush. The s«sh is a marked feature of September toilets. It is made from a variety of materials depending on that of tha dress which it accomi>anies» and lining, in the case of n red dreaa. .usually of a darker ■hale. Many sashes ate wide, and are arranged in ways to suit the figure. If possible, the woman wraps it around her-waist at its full width, but she can only do so succoMifully if she is alim. The hour-glass shape of waist necessi­ tates a lessening of the wjdth, and sometimes it is either folded, or at oth6rs it is cut to form a point in front, which has the effect of making the fig­ ure more slender. Of course, the belles are accused of stealing this revival of BOSTON DRY GOODS STORE/ TljTARR A DUFF have marked down all -LU. Hues of Summer Goods in order to tusks room for their Fall Goods.

Whether the vogue of red will ex­ tend lieyond the early fall is something that I cannot foretell. The chances are that there will be a red winter, but these sudden and violent modes are sometimes very brief. All that I feel like vouching for, therefore, is that there will be one month of red among the extreme fashionable women. Of course these exponents of the color are compelled to provide themselves with all accessories of toilet to match. Red hats, ribbons, hosiery, and shoes are in great demand. Even jewelry turns red, and coral is consequently rerived in favor. “Have you a copy of ‘ Crucify Her ?* Ssked a red-clad Gelle at a news-stand in a summer hotel. ■ “Yes," replied the clerk, as he laid out a paper-covered volume. “Oh, that cover is green," the cus­ tomer exclaimed.

We hear a great many people at Blubberrille complaining because they are hinted at as being connected with certain articles written from that town. There is one way they can i\void it, and that is, have their correspondents come out fairly like men, with their naores tfigned to their articles and we will as­ sure them that no innoceut person will be made a target for our guns. But as it is the sneaking way that their cor­ respondents have always taken to vent out their spite at our village, it must necessarily happen that once in a while an innocent person will get hit. But, upon the whele, we are convinced that all the abuse and slang written from th *re comes from some renegades fre® thialowu, coupled with a few more who have always been at war with us.

The j scheme by which Sterling raised tbe most of his ill-gotten gains was by negotiating j forged mortgage*. It was the determina­ tion of the Wayne County Ravings Bank, which institution was imposed upon by Sterling, to prosecute the offender to tbe full extent of tho law. The first step was to arrest him, and this proved a matter of more difficulty than had been anticipated. It was found that Sterling had left his private residence, on Champlain street, and gone to his father's residence, on Grosse Isle. At the latter place it was ascertained that Starting hod gone to New York, and the matter of catching him was pnt into tbe hands of the police. Dispatches, giving a descrip­ tion of him, were sent in all directions. At New York detectives were notified to watch all outgoing steamers, and this precaution proved i^ccessful. One of the steamers was about to leave its mobrings when a young man, answering to tho description given of Sterling, made a rapid break for the vessel, carrying a sacbcl. Ho had half crossed the gang plank when the hand of a detective was | laid on his shoulder and young Sterling wa* a prisoner. He was locked up im­ mediately to await the arrival of Detroit officers.

I took her small gloved hand in mine a moment with n few pleasant words of wel­ come, then Ralph did the came. And, epo he reached it, which was not quite a* soon as he should have done. I noticed an unusual flush mount to his handsome, fair face, and I feared that ho was in danger of losing hi* heart at tho cutset to oar fair, governess. 2;Yes, this rare creature was to be our governess. Not mine nor Ralph's, for wo wore long past our school days, but wo had two troublesome young sisters, to take charge of whom Miss Grandison had traveled a long wav. Hora was a singular beauty, th© like of which I had never seen before. Her comploxion. one would'thiuk. should be fair to match the bright dazzling gold ou her hair, but it wo* not; instead it suited her deep brown eyes, aud was what I can only describe as a creamy olive, with a spot of richest crimson on either cheek. She was tail and graceful, with an air that was half commanding and a look, u something about her, as I have Baid bef<re. which reminded me of all tho deep passion of intensity of October’s warmth veiled under her stillest haze. Such was Flora Grandison when she came to us, and it is not surprising that Ralph's eyes lingered on her lovely face until he was compelled to turn them away for Bhame's sake. Timo passed very pleasantly. We lived in tho country, or rather, just outside of a stirring town, and we could therefore combine the pleasures of both city and country life. How Miss Grandison euioyed her out­ door ramble* with the children in the brilliantly tinted autumn woods! Ralph -frequently accompanied them, much to her annoyance, it seemed to me, who •watched with jealous eye* every move­ ment that indicated his growing interest in the charming stranger. We know nothing of her save that nhc was from a Southern city, and was thrown upon her own resources for support. But her beauty spoke for itself, and I felt con­ vinced the moment that Ralph first set his eyes upon her that sooner or later she would break his heart. I wonder why the ■thought never struck me that she. a poor governess, would be glad to win him for a huebcind. But it never did. "" There was not the least sign of coqnetry about her, nor did she seem to care at all for his attentions. She aooepted them quietly, smiling, when she could Dot evade them, yet I always felt that she would rather he did not offer them I liked her for that, though I couldn't get over the jirdc* that she would be hi* fate. Ono day, very late in November, the -sun shone radiantly and almost a summer warmth pervaded tho atmosphere. Tempted by the beauty of tho scene I - donned my hat and cloak and went for a stroll in tho leafless wood*. 1 had not . gone far when the sound of Ralph’s voice vziruck my ear. It was strained and deTpraing. and he was laying, oh! how earnestly: “For God's sake, Flora, give mo a little “Haro I not told you there is none?" I heard her answer, almost desperately; “I desire that you will never mention this xnibject again. Mr. Percival." Not caring to play the eavesdropper. I ■walked away and joined the children, who were playing some dUtanca further on. Mils Grandiron aud Ralph had not seen roe. But iny blood was boiling at the -thought of Ralph Buffering through her. When I saw him again the poor boy looked m white and DiMerable m any ghost.

I lorad him dearly, and could hardly bear the loneliness of the house after hews* gone. At last, exasperated* by her calm, queenly loveline**, when my own heart was uching so, I rested my sorrow and •displeasure upon Miss Grandison. She wa* Khtinf by the window reading, and «he ju«t raised her eye* to gire me one long, steady look, slightly mingled with her what 1 had erverbuard, and repeated angrily that it was her fault that Ralph had gone away. "I de Sony," she said quietly, “that you beard what you did. No doe would «ouratf*-J bis unfortunate love either .by void or look." I wm forced to acknowledge that she jgHtoina* 1___ __ _ crimson spot* in her cream cheeks glow­ ing like the burning heart of the richest, reddest roeo. In nil onr acquaintance I had never ad­ mired her so much os I did at that mo­ ment. But. remembering the wrong sha had done my brother, I felt no kindx»ss toward her. “Pray explain, if you can. Mia* Grandi•an." I said in my eoldeat tone, "why you entered this boose under a false charac­ ter, in which you won ray brother'* heart only to break it. What have you to s*y to that?’ “Nothing, except that your brother know* all I hare to tell, and I don't feel called upon to disclose my trouble* to the whole world. If you deem me unfit for tho position I hold in your house, Mia* Perciral, I will go elsewhere.” “You may," I answered coldlr. I was aihamed of my unkindne**. even a* I spoke, but beliering her just then to be a designing woman, tbo calm com­ posure of her manner angered me until I neither spoke nor acted like myself. "Very well," she said, and my heart smote mo at the deathly pallor of her face as she turned to leave the room. At that instant a servant handed me a letter from Ralph, and I tore it open and read it where I stood. Such a fetter!— explaining why ho had gone away, and declaring that Miss Grandison, whom he pronounced as the best aud noblest of women, was not to blame for hi* folly. Ho ended by begging me to be kind to her. :;ud not allow her to leave our homo so long a* she needed such a position. Half penitently I placed tho letter in her hanu, remarking that Ralph's wiahes were law to me, and that I hoped she would forgot my words and do what wa* beat for her happiness. She hesitated a minute or *o, with the open letter in her baud, and I know that n great struggle wa* going ou beneath that calm, beautiful exterior. » “It i* humiliating," she said nt length, with a little, quivering smile,“ to remain here under the circumstance*; but I am poor.

Month* after, when I had grown to lore and esboni her for tho “beat and cobleat of women,” as Ralph had called bar, she told me her story. Briefly, she had a large fortune willed to her by an uncle of her husband, whose other heir*, through jealousy and greed, hod blasted h.>r lire by cruel Blander*. In the bitterness of their hatred they had Mtranged her husband from her, and he had deserted her, believing her to be false. Her enemies hail been suceessful in all their plot* against her, and sh» had borne C>rsecutionH and iusnlt* which, a* I lisned to their pathetical re-ital. mnde mo wonder that a woman like her could have endured them and lived. Abandoned by the busband whom she still loved better than her own life, and thrown- friendless upon the world, she had kept her hutory to herself, simply drop­ ping hor married title for the sake of be­ ing le*s exposed to curious questioning. When winter came round again we were expecting Ralph, who wrote that he was heart whole once more, and intended to bring a friend to help him enjoy his wel­ come home. How handsome Ralph looked a* he walked, smiling and happy, into the midst of our family circle, and what n splendidlooking man wn« tho stranger who walked close behind him.

He hail found Paul Grandison, had told him where hi* wife »m. aud what a true, pure woman she hrul proven hqrsclf.

As soon as I found Tom lie suggested taking me through the camps. So, giving the mule some hay, we started. It was all* very new to me, conse­ quently very interesting. Among other sight* we saw the Union prisomtni like so many wild animals, in what nj>]H‘ared to me, regular circus cages. After walking about for several hours, we rotunn-d to the Lone Jack Camp, wheru Tom was obliged to leave me fur a time, while he attmuled to his duties. I had ja*t seated myself on a small ■tump in front of one of the tenta, when Captain Carlyle ouue up, having ■een me at Lone'dock, he recognized xue at once, and with a bow he asked: "Do you belong to this cunijMUiy, Then ho said, “If yea don't belong to here?” it friend in ly. Bat ■without an instant’s hesitation f replied: “All right. Captain. I have no objections to joining your company." Just then Tom Trundle pat in *nn appearance, and Captain Carlyle aaid: “Here, Trundle, your friend’is going to join our company, ho I leave iiim in your charge." ' Of course Toni van delighted, and introduced nit> to *evera.l mexubera of bin wmpaay, when one of them asked to borrow my saddle to ride KiT^horse to water, anil under the circumstance* I was obliged to let hint have it. After he bail departed. I asked Tom where they watered the stock. He told me they were obliged to go about a mile to obtain water. I said: “I guess I will go and water my little mule, he has not had a drink since morning." ■ My idea was this: I had no inten­ tions of joining the Confederate array, bu$ made up my mind to get away be­ yond the lines if possible. > But I did. not dare confide my scheme to any one, not even to my friend Tom Trundle. Fortunately, no objections were rained to my watering my mule, so I started bareback, hoping I would meet the fellow who borrowed my saddle, and get it bock again. a squad of m<*n returning, a man among them called my name, and said, “Hello! don’t you want your saddle?” Didi want it? Wefi, I did not make any objections to having it, though I did not dare ilhow my satisfac­ tion at recovering it, but proceeded on my way unmolested. At lost I met some men I knew were not soldiers, so I ventured to ask a few questions alnmt my way out—in other words, how to get beyond the lines. Among them wan nn Irishman by the name of Murphy, who said: “Why don’t yon stay and see tho battle now you ’are here?" This was’ news to me. “Is there going to l>e a fight here?” I asked. “Wait and see,” replied one of tho men. Then Murphy spoke up, and ixrinting to a little’ house nestling among .the thick growth of trees st the foot of * hi.ii bluff, informed mo that was where he lived. At once I determined to remain and see the fight, so I offered the Irishman $5 a day to let me stay at his house and witness tho battle, and he con­ sented. . Early the next morning he suggest­ ed wo go to the top of the bluff, where w« fould get a full view of Lexington, where the Union forces, under Colonel Mulligan, were Htationed, in a fort they had built around the college building. Lexington, Mo., is located on a high bluff, which was directly opposite the bluff we were to ascend, and about the same height. When wo reached the top we found a numlier of citizens, with spy-glasses, looking at Lexington, which wm com­ pletely surrounded by General Price’s ermy. It. was a grand night, and I never shall forget it. After a time my Irish friend com­ plained of not feeling well, and thought lie hail better return to the house. So we started back, and when about half way down we were met by a squad of Confederate cavalry. The first intima­ tion we had of their presence was the order “Halt," given in a loud, com­ manding voice. Tis needless to say we came to a standstill. Then wo were ordered to hold up onr hands, and the Captain said: “Who are you?” We answered: “Citizens, and we live in the'valley below. ” “Can you obtain a good view of Lex­ ington from the top of this^bluff?” asked the Captain. i Murphy answered: “Yes, sir." "Then go ahead and show us the way to the top, and to the place where the I est view enn be obtained," was the next command. Then Muqihv explained to them that he was sick and could not walk back. "Very well," replied the Captain, “you remain here, and this man (point­ ing a gun at my defenceless headtahall show us the way, and if, on our return, yon arc not here, his life shall pay the forfeit." Can you imagine how I felt? You remember I never had been up (here but once, ami as Murphy was with me I paid no attention to the direction. Alti/gtether it was rather a dangerous undertaking. But fortune favored me and I directed them to the place safely. After re­ maining for half an hour we started to descent!. When we reached the tree where wo had left Muqihy he was n<> where to be seen. My blood froze in my veins. I could not take another step, when all of a sudden a voice called, further down tho bluff, and looking quickly in that direction, I saw Murphy. It wa* easily explained. I had stopjwd nuder the wrong tree. Then tho Confederate Captain bzdo us goad-day, and departed, and we returned to Murp&y’a house without further interruption. After dinner, hearing a great com­ motion and firing of guns, we again returned to the top of the bluff, anil wore just in time to see Gen. Price’s army advancing up the opposite bluff toward the Union fort. When nearly up to the top the Union caralrv came out to meet them, and fired a volley at them. The Confederates returned the tire, and soon drove the Union troup* back into their fort The liattle continued for four or five dav*. and at ls*t Col. Mulligan was obliged to surrender. This is all I can tell you aix>ut the battle. I made lather a dangerous trip, bat I reached borne on my little black mule in safety.

Leipsic, on the Elster and the Plch*o. is the center of the world’s fur trade, and "has a publishing busineni ranking third. Its Cou’erratory pf Music is the best in the world, and it* university is unex­ celled. The city is r.ot large, though rapidly growing, with n population of about 18,000. The original Leipsic, though the business center, is quite a small port of the present Saxon city. Its old moat is filled in and forms two'of the largest st reels and possibly the largest plnz t, terwit. Bahnhof Strasse, the Prom­ enade. and the Rosspklz. . Leipsic has several large parks—Bosenenthnl, Nonge. Scherber Holz, Johonna. and Jonnnestbal—in whieh are wild fowl and herds of deer.

Each day as 12 in. approaches the street becomes alive with people on their way to the noon meal, dinner, stu­ dents with small block oilc'oth portfolios, containing lecture notes, merchants and other business men, school children, etc., and all places of business are closed un­ til 2 p. m. Dinner is the principal meal; breakfast is a mere form, and supper is a hollow mockery.

Architecturally, Quito is not unlike other Spanieh-American towns, except that it u dirtier and a little more dilapi­ dated. There is not even an excuse for n hotel, and private hospitality is restricted by tho poverty of the people. Fe w travelers evpr go there—only those who are compelled—and the demand is not sufficient to justify tho establish­ ment of a hotel. One-fourth of the en­ tire city is covered with convents, and every fourth person you moot is n priest, or a monk, or a nun. There nre monks in gray, monks in blue, monks in white, monkm in black, aud orders that no one ever hoard of before. There nre all sorts of priests, and the jolly or grim old fellows one sees in Vibert’s pictures are found on almost every omn *r iu Quito. If it were not for the climate Quito would 1» in the midst cf a perpetual pestilence; but not­ withstanding lhe prevailing filthiness there is vt ry little sicknoaj, and pul­ monary di leases arc unknown. Moun­ tain fever, produced by cold and a tor­ I i 1 liver, is-1* the * * * commonest * * h * * * I * tyjie of disease. The {xjpulation of tho city, however, is gradually decreasing, and is said to bo uliout sixty thousand. There were five hundred thou­ sand people at Quito when the Sponiatils ccme, and one hun­ dred years ago tho population was reckoned at double what it now is. Half the houses in the town nre emptv, and to see a new family moving in would be a scwtB’.inn. Most of the finest resilience* nre locked snd barred, aud have remained so for years. The owners are usually political exiles, who ire living elsewhere, and can neither sell nqr rent their property. Political revolutions arc so common^ and the re­ sults are so disastrous to the unsuccess­ ful, that ther.^is a constant stream of fugitives leaving the state. Although Ecuador i* set down in the geographies as a r«’public, it is simply a Popish colony, aud tho power of the Vatican is nowhere felt more completely. The return of .a priest (rorp a pilgrimage to Rome is as great on event as the Dec­ laration of Ind?{>endence; and mo sub­ ordinate is the state to the church that the latter selects the Presidents, the Congreis, and the judges.

Everything has been changed since the six'ties. New.tactics, new ami im­ proved arms, big guns and small, and even different clothing, have made soldiering to be not the thing that it was. War will still l»e carrie d on with the object of killing and wounding all of the enemy possible; but by such scientific and astoniahing methods a* will completely do away with the old ways and arms. Indeed, I think that some fifty years from now those wh« read our current histories of tho war for the Union will Dot be able to un­ derstand tho accounts of the battles without foot-notes particularly describ­ ing the old-fashioned and obsolete arms with which those battles were fought. Still, we need not expect that the wars of the future will Ije more de­ structive than have been those of the past Armies with improved and mur­ derous fire-arms cannot bo got as near together as were those of the wars that our country has seen. It will surprise very many of the veterans to be re­ minded of the fact that the battle of Waterloo, where the slaughter of- the eight hours that it was waged is not surjiassed on any modern field, was fought with flint-lock muskets, wooden rammers, and smooth-bore cauuonl But it was fought at pretty dose quar­ ters. We used to think onr "Springfield" and “Enfield” rifle-musket a very good arm, with its sheath bayonet attached. Its pointed, leaden ounce-ball was cer­ tainly a destructive missile. .And its familiar paper-covered cartridge, the cartridge-box slung over the shoulder and resting over the hip, with itsj metal “U. 8.” letters, and its forty rounds within; the pouch to carry percussion cap* at the right front of the belt All these details became very familiar to the veteran ot 1861-5. ’He con tell you all about “loading in ten times," and how, on special occasions on cam­ paign, twenty rounds more were carried in the pocket. Tho Springfield musket was really a serviceable arm; it equid be depended upon to kill at a thousand yards, and was very effective at shorter range, with its well-adjusted sights. It whs u handsome arm, too, when kept in proper order and well burnished, and it was a common thing for tho soldier to become greatly attached to his mu«t. Many of the men were anxious to take home with them on their musterout those faithful companions of their pointed when they were not allowed to do *o. We shall nevermore hear of this piece being used in war. Yet it was a faith­ ful servant, and did Its deadly work well in onr great conflict The militia organizations of to-day kno< little of if in? to take the cartridge from the box, bile the paper end pJT, jdiake down the pow­ der into the muzzle, insert the spar* Up Ute piece, take a cap from the pouch, hidf-cock the gun and put the cap on the nipeda—tado all this before yon Iv as he can make the motions of firing. He can shoot twenty balls a minute! In our late war, lines of infantry fore each other with not more than two hundred yards between, and gave and took punishment with arms like the Springfield for hours. J But how long, at that distance. • would .a line endure this incessant storm ’ of bullets from the breech- I loading repeater? How long, with such arms, oonld a line of battle be kept together at that distance ? There has, indeed, been a revolution in war, comrades, since our day. Old arms and old methods have' passed away, and new ones have taken their places. The day is not far distant when people will regard tho muzzle­ loading musket with more curiosity than we npw regard the flint-lock and powder-horn. Therefore, since our old Springfields and EnfieldH are practically things of the past, let us revive some of the memories that their names suggest. The neatly fashioned leather cart­ ridge-box must disappear with the musket it supplied. But it is in no <langer of being forgotten, for one of the army corps adopted it for its badge long before the war was over. The grand old cartridge-box! It was a simple and. serviceable device for carrying our fixed ammunition. Pictures from the real soldier-life of the great struggle are called up by the mention of its name. I see tho long infantry columns wad­ ing the Potomac at White's Ford, each soldier holding high his “Springfield" in one hand and his cartridge-box in the other, intent on keeping them dry, whatever else might get wet. I see six-mule teams laden with pine boxes filled with rifle-cartridges gal­ loping to tho front under whip and yell; I see the boxes torn from the wagons almost under fire, splintered1 against great tree-trunks, and the eager soldiers cramming their pockets (for there was no time to fill boxes) and hurrying back to the line. I see the line of battle strewn with bits of tough brown paper, torn from the cartridge by the teeth of the sol­ diers. I see the dry grass in front, Iktween the lines, smoking and burning from ignited paper. I see between fights soldiers with their lips stained with powder, and the fire of battle still shining in their eager eyes, as prompt for the distribution of cartridges as for the distribution of hard-tack Tho pictures come and go, like the shiftings of adream. And through it *11 runs the crack of the Springfield—a thousand puffs of white smoke—tho singing of the grooved and pointed ball—the roar of the battle! Well, times have changed, indeed, even in war. Yet, none will deny that the soldiers of onr great struggle did their work well with the tools that were given them. And in those days they were called good tools, too! One thing gladdens me in this con­ nection. It is that we have so many perfect effigies in store of the soldie'r of 1861-5, with uniform, arms, and ac­ couterments complete, to carry down to coming ages the silent story 'of how our volunteers fought, aud with what they fought. Must prominent among them is the thirty-foot granite figure of the Union soldier that stands eloquent guard over the field of Antietam. It is yourself, comrade of tho infantry, all complete. The cap, the overcoat, the belt, the musket at “jtarade rest,” the bayonet in the sheath, the cap-pouch before and the “forty rounds" behind— all are there, and they will speak for centuries to come of the just glory of the Union volunteer.—Chicago Ledger.

It neems Sam nw'a crazv to join the Union forces, and claimed that as the war was fur the good of the colored race and for the freedom of the slaves, it was not only his right but Jiis duty to join Lincoln's army. One night a large number of promi­ nent men were sitting in front of the hotel, when along came Sandy and Sam wrangling. “Ise done jined de Linkun troops an dot’s the settlement ob de whole fuss," Muid^Sam, triumphantly. “You has?" interrogated Sandy, derisively. y^Yes, I hafi." “I say, honev, 'spose a big cannon-liall come bustin’ along through de air an' take de top o' dat simple head o' yourn right clean off, wot wo41d ye say ?

Headache suggested dverstyain in study combined with defec­ tive ventilation, and perhaps a too spar­ ing diet; while some curious facts bearing cn the causation of color-blind­ ness and somnambulism were also noted. Thus, in one case tho blue­ color perception was for a time oblit­ erated, and the sufferer from this de­ fect found herself painting ivy leaves a bright orange; while in another a stu­ dent, having retired to rest on the eve of an examination, awoke at his desk to find that he hod been busily en­ gaged in drawing humorous cartoons relating to a former conversation. Here we have an instance, of cerebral irrita­ tion dger-to overwork, which suggests a _fionicwhat'<fllose connection between dreaming and somnambulism, and af­ fords a clue to the physidlogy.of the latter condition. » Overwork, both mental and bodily, is at once the most general and the least regarded form of illness to which we are liable in the present age. Do what we may, it is next to impossible to escape from it; but there is, at all events, a certain satisfaction in being able to recognize its features. We must not forget, however, that it is also to a considerable extent a preventable evil, and it is certainly a mattdr for Hatisfaotian that this fact is not ignored by the reforming party in the legisla­ ture. Its treatment in individual caws requires chiefly that due attention be paid to the two great essentials of timely rest and wholesome diet. Work, however irksome, may, it is generally allowed, be undertaken on a lilieral scale, if only it is not too continuous, but is broken by timely and adequate intervals of rest. The value of a plain and liberal dietary is hardly less, and we may take it a* a maxim for the times that, so long as appetite and sleep are unimpaired, there is no dangerous degree of overwork, and, conversely, that a failure in either of these respects should be regarded as n warning signal, to which attention should l>e paid by relieving the strain of exertion.—Lon­ don Lancet. Everything In the Name. Medicine in any shape is not relished by many of its takers, but nearly every man has an exaggerate! aversion to some particular drug. This mon would rather expire than swallow castor oil, that man could not be induced to touch potash, and so on.

A Sermon by Father Taylor. I unce heard Father Taylor preach a nermon on the Atonement. It wav all in a style that nobody but a sailor could understand, a style', that every sailor could comprehend, although a treatise on thh sibject from au up-town pulpit would have been "Greek" to him. This is one of the passages: "You are dead in trespa’ses and sins, and buried too, down in the lower hold amongst the ballast, and you can’t get out, for there is a Jton of sin on the main hatch. Yon shin up the stanchions and try to get it open, but yon can’t.- Yon rig a pur­ chase. Yon get your handspikes,- cap­ stan l»or», and watch tackles, but they are no good. Yon can't start it. Then you begin to sing out for help. You hail all the saiuts you think nre on deck, but they can't help you. At last you hail Jesus Christ. Ho comes straight along. All he wanted was to bo asked. He just claps his shoulder to that ton of sin. It rolls off, and then he says, ‘Shipmates, come out!' Well, if you don’t come out, it is all your own fault" * It was on the Bunday before a State election. Briggs was the candidate of the Whig party, but Father Taylor de­ sired that he should bo elected because he was a religious man. This was his prayer: “0, Lord, give us good men to rule over us, just men, temperance men, Christian men, men who fear Thee, who obey Thy commandments, men who----- But, O Lord, what’s the use of veering and hauling and pointing all round the compass ? Give us George N. Briggs for Governor!” His prayer was answered on the next day. Father Taylor was eloquent, humor­ ous and pathetic by turns. Sometimes all these characteristic* seemed to lie merged into one. These and many others of his traits interested me, but I loved him because, first ami last and all the. time, he was the sailor’s friend— John Codman, in the Century. An Incident of Railway Travel. iHERE have been |m a n y incidents of railroad travel enlarged upon which were not more worthy of note than the fol­ lowing, which is recorded by a Philadelphia convery peculiar ac­ cident, that set a whole railroad car full of passengers in a state of. intoxica­ tion, occurred ou the North Pennsyl­ vania Bailroad. Dr. Ott, of Pleasant Valley, got on tho train at that station to go'to Quakertown to parform a sur­ gical operation on a pati >nt The doc­ tor took with him a large bo tie of ether, which he laid ou the seat beside him. The jolt.ng <4the train agitated the potion to such an extent that the bottle exploded, and in a moment the atmoHphere was laden with the drug. The mole passengers in the car made a dash for the door, but many of tliem could not get out, and, together with a dozen ladies, were overcome by the ether. Wh -n the conductor went into the cor to take up the tickets he, too, was overcome before he could retreat. The brakeman missed the conductor, and on looking into the car saw him, with tho others, laughing and grimac­ ing. As soon as possible the windows were thrown open and the passengers revived.

If the lit­ tle bits of glass in the instrument can­ not fall twice alike, much less can tho microscopic parts which make up atree, or u face, or a human form, a»sumo twice the one. exact image. Hence, no two minds are alike. The passions and logical forces, the grada­ tions of energies which combine to create a Webster, or a Lincoln, or a Do 8 tael, or a Carlyle, will meet only onoo in tho entire historo of man. None of these great ones will ever come back to the earth, because the parts which com। bine to make a Byron or u Virgil are numerous as the army of Xerxes, and will no more OMsemble again than that exact kind of army will at some time invade Greece again led by a duplicate Xerxes. Each mind feels a certain wave of unhappiness when it looks in upon itaelf and marks how many wheels must bo in j»erfect order to secure what is called sanity. In such momenta of introspec­ tion the thought comes that not only i» tho thinker crazv but all men and women are not a little crazy; that per­ fect scmie is impossible.

Tbe superintendent of public instruc tion decide* that a person who owns land in one district and lives in anuther, can not send his children to school in the district where he doea not reside without paying a tuition. They started another buckwheat boom on wheat, the same as they did on wool, over at "No Man’s Land.” and caught a few of our farmers. Those who have sold are all right, bat the rest want to look oat for snakes. One of the business men of our rival town attached Geo. McArthur’s honsebold goods for a store bill. The con­ stable neglected to remove the goods, and George went the next day and got them, moving them to this county.

In our own state, provisions were mode in our state constitution for the establishlisbment of an agricultural school as soon as practicable. In obedience to this provision of the constitution, the legislature of 1855 established this college, which waa opened in 1857. W aen the land grant came from the United States in 1862 tbe college was already established, and was, therefore, the first of its kind in America. From the first, it was argued that it should have been a department of the uniy rsiry, and it was strongly urged when the grant came -, and the matter was raised from lime to time of selling the building and attaching it to the university.

Babon Julies Revter is 70 years old, ami has been hard at 'work for fifty-five years. He is still bright anil active. He has keen gray eyes, which pierce you from beneath grizzled brows, and thin, prominent nose, and a face “fluid with expression.” He is a fluent and pleasant talker, and not backward in telling of his early hardships, when he was a poor and unknown foreigner in London, with a tiny office and one Email boy to look after it. Is an article on courage in the Forlntpktiy Bet few, Lord. "Wolseley con­ tradicts that little men are braver than big men. One of the bravest he ever knew was six feet four inches. Among the nations he singles out Turkey with special praise for her fighting qualities: -Among all the great armies of the world, none is composed of a finer or braver fighting material than that of Turkey. The early life, the training, laws, manners, customs, and, above all, the religion of the Turk, combine to make him the most formidable of sol­ diers.” The balance of trade between this country and Europe is now positively against ua. The balance in our favor has been growing smaller for a number of years, and last year’s failure of - our corn cfop was undoubtedly responsible for the change to the other side. It re­ mains to be seen whether tlie balance of $27,000,000 against us tbo last twelve pionths will be entirely overcome.

The failure of onr crop of 1887 shortened many exports besides that grain. It diminished our exports of pork, beef and dairy products. Unless we export more, or import less of merchandise, this country must lose some of its gold. But even this may be better than to have the farmers of the country bear­ ing tho entire burden of our imports, by growing wheat and other products to be sold .below cost of production. or pulled out only half of the right one, it is probable that all present, includ­ ing the dentist, would have been slain.

Thebe died near New York City, a few days ago, Gouverneur Morria, who waa called by an earlier generation Young Gouverneur, to distinguish him from his father, who played so promi­ nent a part in the revolutionary war and the political events which followed it. The son was born in 1813 and tho father in 1752, so that their united lives covered a century and a third, be­ ginning at a time when New York was a loyal colony ruled by King George IL At that date the hatred which later on tho Virginians felt for tho —was entertained with equal intensity by the dwellers on tho Hudson. It was the father of tho older Gouverneur who declared in hia will that under no circumstances must his son be sent to Yale or Harvard to be educated, lest he should acquire there those base and illiberal qualities which characterized the inhabitants of that part of the country known as New England. The first Gouverneur was a man of groat natural ability. He waa a member of tho Provincial Congress of New York and of the Continental Congress, and was Minister to France preceding and during the great revolution. As Mr. Waahburne remained in Paris during the reign' of tho commune, the only representative of any foreign govern­ ment, m did Morris stay alone in Paris during the "red terror," the only for­ eign minister who dared to take the chances of the guillotine and mob. Tho . son took no part in politics—the father was a bitter Federalist—but de­ voted himself to the new field of enterpriso which opened up soon after his liis birth. He became a great railroad man. He was one of the projectors of tho Harlem Road and of the Illinois Central, was connected with the New Central and the Erie, and was a rail­ road president up to 1880.

Cole, and in this manner they were enabled to accumulate a competency upon which they afterward lived at their ease. A correqioudent, shortly before the death of his wife, visited the Captain at his home. Hia farm is one of the finest in that region. Wheat, corn, oats and to­ bacco are the principal products. The Captain is considered one of the leading live-stock breeders in the State, Pcrcheron horses and shortdiorn cattle be­ ing his specialties. However, he is at present making preparations for adding a fine line of trotting stock. Martin Van Buren Bates, the son of John Wal­ lace and Sarah Bates, was born at Whitesburg, Ky.,Nov. 9, 1845. At the age of sixteen he waa graduated from the Emery and Henry College. He served in the Confederate army during the rebellion. He is an exaggerated specimen of an old-time Kentucky planter, of stately bearing, handsome features, and excellent pn>j>ortioni, measuring eight feet in height Mrs. Bates' maiden name was Anna SwanShe was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Swan, aud was born at New Annan, Colchester County, Nova Sco­ tia, an 1 perhaps from some highland ancestor inherited her < nurmous stature of eight feet end oue-fach. In speaking of her daughter, Mrs. Swan said: “Her growth was phenomenal. At the age of four years the was four feet aud six inches in height, at eleven years six fe st and four inches, and at seventeen yesra she had attained the remarkable height of seven feet and seven inches. Anna’s highest ambition was to be welleducated, an 1 as her parents were poor her only hope of achieving this end was Dr. R. J. Gatling, the inventor of that terrific engine of destruction known as the Gatling gun, has spent several years of study and experiment upon b new method of making heavy ordnance, and as a result has obtained patents in thir country and Europe ujoiuan inven­ tion which may revolutionize the entire system of manufacturing heavy missile projectiles now in vogue. The only plan on which these gnus have ever been constructed is on tbe built-up method, which is the style of gun now turned out by Krupp, Armstrong and other manufacturers Results obtained from these guns have always been un­ satisfactory, the record lelng that nearly all uf them burst sooner or later. The best gunmakers of Europe will not warrant their guns to fire more than 100 times One or two attempts have been made in this country to make solid steel guns by casting huge ingots of steel and boring them out. From u scientific standpoint there are serious objections to this method, tho chences for imperfections largely predominat­ ing. Dr. Gatling’s new invention is •aid to be the carting of Xhe heaviest ordnance in solid steel around a cen­ tral core, which is used in several ways lor obviating tho disadvantages of the old style guns. The result, it is claimed, wjfl result in tbe production of an infinitely better gun st a reduc­ tion of 50 per cent, in cost.

CHAPTER V—[CoxTDiVKDj As Lina spoke she sprang from the __ bunch of straw to the heartless woman’s side, and pressed the large, rough hands in her cold, soft, trembling palms, and, gazing straight in the eyes of her oaptors, she said: "Will you not please be a little con­ siderate and treat me ns you would want to be treated were you in my place? Can you not open your heart a little and do something for me?" Mrs. King, for that waa her name, gruffly answered: “No!” And with a dark frown on her brow, roughly pushed the pale, pleading girl from' her. tihe was but a paid tool of Swarthy Jim’s, and if she should now allow her fair prisoner to escape, she would not receive her money. Poor little Lina had dene all she could to obtain her release, for she knew t>he could not unfasten the dt or, neither could she get through the heavy stone walls. “Oh, Hravcnly Father, the only father I have ever known, will yon not Icok •down in mercy on me now.’ And turn­ ing with tear-stained face to her foe. she said: “You seem heartless, for you will not even tell me why I am ho cruellv imprisoned here. Yon must be like the wicked persons I have read of in books, yet I did not think such peo­ ple existed. Oh! please relent and free me.” But Mrs. King was silent and un­ moved. In utter despair Lina threw herself upon the hard straw bed, while low, deep sobs of agonv broke from her lip*. The poor, helpless girl lay there for some time; the sobs had ceased, but occasionally a deep moan would sound through the room. “Oh! Wiatcanldo? What shall I do? What have I done, to be so cruelly treated? “Mamma! My dear angel mamma! Can you not see me now, and do' jou - not know I am in trouble? * “Oh, why was she taken from me, for I need her every hour of my life! What will my )»oor aunt aud uncle think when I do not come home ? Oh, why have they brought me here ? I know nothing.

She was afraid rOlU to move, U1UVC, to MJ look 1WK up. Up, that a man stood in front for she knew thst - ~_t__2 of her. “What shall I do? I am powerless to c scape, but I will not be insulted by that coward in this manner.” Like on arrow from a bow she sprang up from her crouching positimi and confronted her foe with angrv, flashing eyes. “Who are you, and what do you mean by insulting me in this manner ? Why have you brought me to this mis­ erable place, and held me here a pris­ oner? You are a coward and a thief!” Linz’s hot, angry breath fanned the chock of . the man in front of her, who had now become silent, and a strange look of wonder and admiration lighted up his dark, sparkling eyea.

An hour Ago. at sunrise. I sat in the pavilion gazing Indolently upon these acres of ex­ travagantly improved nature, and wonder­ ing bow the man strolling past presumed to enter thia starched and ironed garden In a gray flannel shin. He struck me as a chap who would go Into Queen Victoria's draw­ ing-room with his trousers rolled up or seek audience with the Pope in bls shirt sleeve*. Then camo a morning maiden whose aspect suited tho • exquisite unnaturalncss of the park, and I hailed her as a harmonious Stroller. Her long hair flowed free from under a mob cap. but lb* seeming catebmness was the. acme of artifice. Its yellow was the Meachcry of lime, and Its fluffineas waa tho drouth of lx>rax. You have seen Circassian girls in the museums? Their hair is chemically faded and distended, and this girl’s head had been subjected to simi­ lar treatment. Her face bore a complexion that was n matter of artful attainment, too. and it was only because no trick of altering the features has yet been discovered that her vlwige retained the beauties of outline that nature had made. Tho apparent calico of her gown was silk, when you got close enough to discover the costly simulation of cheapness. "Oh?1 don’t mind wearing what looks had ho boon disposed to take advantage of the player’s abaaneo.

Next the conversation happened to turn on the exclusion of Jews from the two Sar­ atoga hotels owned by H<-nry Hilton. Some­ body told how Florence, the actor, had once applied in an assumed Jewish accent for rooms, und hod been promptly repulsed. Credence was not unanimously given to the anecdote.

Therefore, considerable stocks nf velvets in all imaginable colors and qualities, and ranging from the plain piles to elaborately embossed surfaces, hav© boemordered, and everything has lx-en made re^dy to duplicate these in­ vestments in case stylish women accept velvet as a favorite fabric. ‘Already velvets are oeen by piecemeal in tho very newest costumes ordered for wear in the cooler mountain resorts and at the seashore.

Other and equally rich dresses were expanded rearward by inserted steels to an extent as grea-t as hitherto. When our most elaborate dressers thus disagree about the bustle, there is nothing for their less independent sisters to do except to consult personal taste and physical re­ quirements. The belles nt the watering-places are getting ready to go home, and tho more pretentious of them nre ordering trav­ eling cloaks for that purpose. They told me at one dressmaking establish­ ment about a daughter of wealth who hail spent the summer in the mountains, and who was telegraphed to by rela­ tives to return at once to the city. She replied that she couldn’t do ho’, unless it was a matter of. life and death, becans© the only traveling costume she had was the one which she had worn for her departure in June.

It seems strange that the first practical, combined application of two such common sense principles in journalism should have been left to a paper as yet only twelve years old. And yet true it is that in this fact lies the real secret of the unparalleled success of The Chicago Daily News. Briefly stated these principles are: Second. THE DAILY NEWS First THE DAILY NEWS Is an Independent, truth-telling newspaper. Is a daily paper for busy people. Of all mankind the people of Chicago and the buxy north­ west are the busiest. And yet perhaps no equal number of peo­ ple are to be found who appreciate so keenly the necessity of an intelligent knowledge of the world’s daily doings. They recog­ nize that they, more than anyone else, are the world's providers in many of the most important necessaries of life. How im­ portant, then, that they should have their daily intelligence of every event, the world over, which by any possibility ean affect their diversified commercial holdings. And in all the higher interests of life where can be found a like number of people more keenly appreciative of all that contributes to progress in art, literature, science, religion, politics, and the thousand and one things which make up modern civilisation. s.

Out by the edge of the meadow, under an apple tree that was sending showers of delicate pink and white jictals down to the grass with every breeze, lay pretty Nora Creely, fast 'asleep. The soft and sweet-scented leaves lay scat­ tered all over her brown dress, and some nestled in her thick,-dark hair, and one had fallen on one of her evelids and“i*eposed there as if pleased with the position. Nora’s arms were bare to the elbows and were undeniably red and showed signs of toil, and her face was fanned aud brown, save where her healthy voung blood showed through tho brown. Her lips were parted and be­ tween them were glimpses of white teeth that were the envy of nil who aav^ them, and all who knew her saw them often, for she was al Ways laughing and blithe, and somehow the rich color, dark hair and pretty teeth all seemed to belong to those beautiful blue eyes that looked so honestly out from under the heavy, black lashes, true Irish eyes than which none are more lovely. Nora was only a servant, but she was an honest, conscientious and capable one. and her rich Irish voice used to troll forth those creening old ballads that keep you vibrating between a smile and a tear. The children idol­ ized their good Nora, the mistress leaned upon her in sorrow and joy. the master spoke of her as one of the treas­ ures of earth, and the dumb animals followed her with worlds of love for her expressed in their dewy eyes. Nora was happy liecause* it was the gift of her sunny nature to be so, and she never seeipcd sail or out of spirits and so ahe was regarded us a sort-of perpetual sunshine in the house. Only one peculiarity had Nora, and that often surprised her gentto- mis­ trees. Nora was avaricious. She was a miser if there ever was one. She re­ ceived good wages and she never sjient a penny that she could possibly save. She made her own poor clothes ut night when she should be resting, and ahe went barefoot ’ whenever the weather rendered it possible, and, in short, ahe was evidently a born miser. Still Mrs. Satterlee decided that that was Nora’s own business, and that the money was hers to spend or save m suited her. So Nora had lived with Mrs. .Salterlee for seven years. She came as a child of 15, just landed, a bewildered stranger in a strange land, and because . of the cheery smile and honest eyes ahe had been chosen from among many others, and' she went with the gentle lady to live in a country home where she was always content, happy and efficient. As the little children were Ixirn to the lady, so were they txiru to the love of good, kind Nora, whose heart was a welling spring of warm affection. Nora was now 23, and there were indeed few girls anywhere who were prettier, neater or better taught for one in her station than Nora, and there were two young men who thought her perfection entirely. One of them wm a blacksmith and the other a horti­ culturist. but though Nora was kind to them neither received* the slightest encouragement. Sometimes Mrs. Satterloe wondered why Nora did not seem to care to marry and have u home of her own, but she said nothing. Norawrote to her parents and friends in the “Old Country’’ and received let­ ter* from them in return with a regu­ larity that wm a ItoM-on to n*ny other families, ami save that Nora always sang and laughed mow for a few day* after the receipt ol these letter* none would have noticed. But the songs ter not quite so rich and mellow; still she said nothing, and none remarked it bnt “the baby, as they called her, a child of 3, sod she would alvraywirofc at Nora’s heels at these times like a lit­ tle dog till Nora would take her up and sorts as she looked them over a little brook, and so sweet znd lux- m TBE BITTER AND TBE SWEET. 7 Z3 lady that came frit a little dizzy, or perhaps distracted. and suppose I fainted. Do you know wheth­ er there is to'be any company here to dinner?” “No, madam; none but the newr lady." “Very well; you have relieved me very much, and now let me rest until time to dress fcr dinner." Sweet sleep .soon visited her weary eyes, aud both beauties were, for a. while, lost to their troubles. be dresaed for dinner. The many tears* she had shed before lost in sleep had only brightened and made her eye» more beautiful. “Ah, my lady! I hope you ore feeling much better now. Your kind husband —that is to be, I mean—said that I should dress you now, and he would allow you this pretty home, that you arc to be mistress of." “Madam, you may tell Mr. Noll that I never intend to be mwireas of thisor any other house that belong? to him." “I am very sorry not to be able to do os your ladyship wishes, but I must first obey my master.” For some time Lenora sat in deep­ thought, and then said: “Very well, Mrs. King; you may dress me, and I will go down and see­ the rooms.” "That is right, my lady, for I know Mr. Noll loves you and will be very kind to you." “That will do now, Mrs. King. I donot care anything for Mr. Noll; itmakes no difference what ho may think of me. “It is impossible for me to find wordrto express my contempt for such a mam as he." ' “Ah, my lady, you should not feel so. He thinks' you very beautiful and. good; I am sure he is not mistaken, j for you certainly would suit any man’s fancy. “If you don’t believe me—there, now, look in the glass for yourself." Lenora did not or seemed not to hear Mrs. King's shallow remarks, for she did not obey them. She had sat for*some time, thinking and planning; suddenly she looked up at her maid, with a somewhat aad butpleading look in her eyes. “Mrs. King, if you will allow mo to­ e icape from here to-night, I will give you this ring; I will be your lifelong slave, and do anything for you. Oh, please ba kind, be merciful, and let moThe temptation was great, for shehad been handsomely paid for whatshe had done, and now that beautiful' ring was just what she wanted. She studied for sometime, but finally shook her head in the negative. “I can't do it,, my ladv, for he would kill me if I did.” ' "Oh, why did you, Mrs. King, yield' to temptation, pnd .help him to bring me here? . “Why did you not leave me in the thicket, a prey to the snakes. I would* ten thousand "times rather have been* bit by fifty snakes than to be here to­ night. You do not know, you cannot, imagine, how I feel. “This place ip but n gloomy prison* for me. Why were you so cruel as to tear me from my lovely s quiet homo, from my birds and flowers, and my dear old uncle and aunt ? Pity me, Father; I am so miserable and 'sad." Her tones were low and pathetic, while* her eyes were filled with tears, yet. Mrs. King was unmoved. “You tire very foolish, my lady, tothink and talk so; for here you can■ have every thing money can liuy, and do just ns you please. You can alsohave your’birds and flowers.” “Say no more, please; I see you donot understand. Let us go down now Zif I must go, I must, and tho quicker it ■ is over with the better." “Yes, it is high time for you to go­ down. But, my, you do look lovely. You outshine the most beautiful queen * that ever graced a throne." A sad little sigh escaped Lenora's t beautiful tip* as she said: “I so wish that I was at my dear old,, quiet, lovely home." They descended the velvct-caqieted stairwav into a brilliantly lighted hall. . To the left were the double ]»urloni, and I back of them the drawing-room. On . the right waa the library and Noll's pri­ vate rooms. The two jmriors were fur­ nished nearly alike, and very richly in­ deed ; the drawing-room was very fine, also. In the front parlor, on an easel' in one corner, stood a lecture of a fair young girl, with dark, beautiful eyes, and long golden curia. She wore a short, pink dress, while on the buck of her head rested a jaunty little straw hat, with a wreath of field' daisies round' the crown. On her white, plump ana* hung a basket bf wild flowers.

As he stood there the door opened, and the original, Lenora Churchill, en­ tered the parlor.

One of the prettiest events of the campaign so far was a little incident that occured in Indianapolis Saturday evening, when one hundred pretty uniformed misses called upon aud paid the respects to Gen. Harrison. The telegraph gives the following partic­ ulars: Saturday evening Gen. and Mrs. Harrison received ’ one of the most unique delegations that ha* yet called at their home. It was a glee club oL. 100 uniformed young ladie* and niisse*, ranging in age from five to fifteen years. The club had been drilled for the occasion and tbe parade enroute to Gen. Harrison’s residence was very creditable. At the head of the line rode Master Cbarle*Pettijohn. 6 years old, mounted upon a pony. Following him came a drum corps, composed of eight young boys in uniform, who furnished music for the hundred pretty girls marching in fours, each attired iu —■ — — rof white, .1.. _ costume a decked with r,.,I red, white and bine ribbons, and carrying paper lanterns mounted on canes.

He was convinced at this time that tho country was ujion the verge of civil war. und jbe realized the vast resources of the North. His plan when hostilitfe* commenced, which wm submitted to the Confnlerato Govern­ ment, was to take no provigiops. This strange character, whom not a few of his own people believed to be more in­ sane than eccentric, actually argued that the whole war was merely a “John Brown raid" on a largo scale; that the great preponderance of the North in men and means oould only be offset by giving no quarter on the field, and that the effect of this return to the barbarous system* of warfare would be to strike the enemy with ter­ ror and make them feeble in their cause. When reminded that this was a game thaf two could play at, he ad­ mitted that it was a j>olicy that would lead to the butchery of Confederate prisoners also; but .hu still insisted that it would be the very best policy for the Confederacy, and he wm quite anxious to have it adopted. Minds saturated with peculiar forms of religion have conceived the most horrible cruelties, as the history of the Inquisition will show; and the' cose is more curious than rare that one of Jack-, son’s gloomy and severe religion* view* should agree with such an idea as the massacre of helpless men who had laid down their arms. It should 1m> added, in justice to the memory of this remarkable character, that when his government rejected his plea he cheerfully acquiesced, and had no more to sav in it* favor. It is related that when he fell wound­ ed from his horse in the twilight of that evtuing, and there was great danger that he and those who were striving to remove him from the range of the terri­ ble artillery-fire would l>e captured. Jackson said, “I do not fear to be taken, I have al wav* us_*d their prisoners kindly." * When he died from tho effects of his wounds, a few days later, his delirious mind was running not upon battles, but upon Parodist*. His last words touched a chord in the breasts of foes as veil a* friends, wherever they were repeated. “Let ns cross over the river, and rest under tlie shade of the trees!" Captain William D. Wilkins was Assistaflt Adjutant General of General A. 8. Williams, who commanded the First Division of the Twelfth Corps, which received rough treatment in Jackson’s flank attack on our right that evening. Captain Wilkin* was wounded and made prisoner. It was at once seen from certain ]>eculiaritiea of his uni­ form, which it is unnecessary to explain to veterans, that he was n'atiff-officer, and one of the Confederate officers near by ordered two of the men fo take him to the rear and report him to General Jackson. No one could give so much information, if he choe? to, xs a General or a staff officer; which was well known to his captors. Captain Wilkins was decidedly un­ easy just then. Not on hi* own account. He was brave, and had learned to face the dan­ gers and expocure* of war with sol dierly equanimity. He was uneasy be­ cause he had that about him the discov­ ery of which might make it very bad for the Union army. A* Adjutant General, he was the proper custodian of order* and dis­ patches; aud he had in hi* breast­ pocket at that moment some papera tlie reading of which he knew would give General Jackson some highly imjiortant information.

BOOTS AND SHOES Henry Strong, of Morgan, had a por­ tion of tbe thumb and first finger of his right band cut off in a stave ma­ chine Monday. Have become so well-known •to the public, and have been so thoroughly tested that it is superfluous 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 boot and shoe 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 Stuck and no Paste Board, Leather Board, Paper, or any other deleterious stock in them; and as the only au­ thorized agents of the Grand Geo. Crabb, of N. W. Castleton, demonstrated his loyalty to Harrison and Morton Saturday, by raising a slick 75-foot tamarack. Frank Lampman is again in tbe meshes of grim justice.

'A frilcw,» We have a very inadequate idea of the magnificent manner in which the ancients lived when they had wealth and the desire to spend it. They, were particularly lavish in their hospitality. Among the Romans, the most dis­ tinguished for his habits of expense was Lucullus. - When on duty a«a General he cheerfully put up with 'camp fare and camp privations, and was a most successful commander, until he was superseded by his rival. Pompey, on which he retired to his villa near Rome, where he lived in a princely manner— mingling authorship with 'epicurism, and alternately indulging in literature and luxury. His gardens, near Neapo­ lis, were the wonder of his time; Ho first introduced cherries into Europe— the fruit deriving its Latin name (cerasus) from Cerasusj a town af Pen­ tus, in Asia Minor. It is related that on one occasion Pompey and Cicero met Lucullus in one of the streets of Rome, and told him that they proposed to accept aninvitation he had often given them, to sup with him on that very evening. But, wishing to see what sort of a re­ past he would give them without prep­ aration—that is, to ascertain what his “pot-luck" was—they stipulated that he should not prepare anything extra­ ordinary for them. Lucullus, who whs extremely polite, courteously assented, declaring that he wonldbe happy in entertaining such valued guests on their own terms, pro­ vided they would jtermit him to’dis­ patch a messenger before them, merely to inform his servants in which apart­ ment the repast should be given. They agreed to this, and tho word was sent that he would sup that even­ ing with some friends in tho apart­ ment called Apollo. In the interval, Lucullus and his two friends took a ride in the county, returning in time for the bath, after which—the supper. ‘ When they arrived in the Apollo apartment, end sat down to for rather reposed neari the table, the pair of oc­ cidental guests were astonished to see a feast which could not have cost less than fifty thousand denarii, Ere retired, told them ” they “ "" ’ ’Lucullus ’’ that he had a number of supper-rooms, each distinguished by a different name, a supi»er in a peculiar stvle being bjc propriated to each, and always kept in a certain state of readiness. Therefore, when he sent word that he would sup in the Apollo, his servants knew that they were to prepare such a banquet as his friends hod then jmrtaken of—which was the most sumptu­ ous that his house could supply. That supiwr for three cost f8,500. There is a well-known anecdote of Cleopatra and her ]>earl, which illnstraus the lavish luxury of the time when Lucullus lived’ Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, was anxious to attach Marc Antony, then one of the triumvirs, to her interest, and gave a series of doily feasts in Tarsus, where she was then residing, to him and the principal officers of his army. y' Her wealth was immense, and her magnificence unsurpassed. At one of these banquets, Antony wondered at the vast number of g<dden cups en riched with jewels, which were scat­ tered over the table, whereupon Cleo­ patra answered that since he was so | kind os to admire tliem, he must con­ fer upon her the further favor of ac­ cepting them. Without waiting for his reply, she gave the signal, and all the pre.ious vessels were at cnee re­ moved from the table and conveyed to Antony*x housj. • Next day there was another feast, at which Antony and bis oflieera were present, as beforx When they were retiring she prew nted them with the gold and silver plate which hud been used that exening. On another o casion she wore ear­ rings, the pendants of which were two of the finest and largest pearls that had ever been seen—each valued at $260,­ 000 of the money of that period. The anecdote about this jiair of pearls, as related in history, runs thus: That during one of her feast*. Clei/ patra dropp< d one cf these pearls into a vessel containing vin» gar. whereby it was immediately dissolved, and then drank off the oon'enta, in a health to Antony; moreover, that she was about melting the other }>earl in like manner, but Flaucus (the Consul mentioned by Horae.-*) took the pearl out of her hand; that it waaqiftcrwanl carried to Rome by Augustus Cn*ar. by whose orders it was cut into two pieces,which served as ear-]iendants for the statue of Venus, owned by the Julian family, and long to be s?en in the Pantheon at Rome.

One of the officers of the kitchen laughed at thia, saying that not more than ten jierscns were to partake of the banquet which was then being prejjared. The wild boars, he said, were placed before ths fire at different hours, so that they might be ready for the table in BuecesHion. Antony was fond of feasting, but wished to have his dishes at the time when each hal attained perfection—a state which did not long continue. On the other hand, he would often order supper served, and in a few minutes forbid its being placed on the tabic, having entered into some conversation which interested him. Therefore, not one, but many suppers were always .prepared, because it was impossible to know st what time he might please to eat. In thia Antony somewhat resembled tbe first Napoleon, who cared very little about what he ate or drank, and usu­ ally made his dinner from a roasted fowl. As it was impossible to know at what hour Napoleon might be ready for his very simple dinner, a series of fowls were always before the fire, so that one might be ready when called for. . ' A very good and extremely lively de­ scription of the symposia of the an­ cient Greeks is given in tho Noctes of Atheneus. The first dish was a pie or pasty of hens, ducks, pigeons, a goose and other delicacies. Then another and larger pie, containing hares, geese and yonng kids. Next came pics of par­ tridges, young turtle-doves and smaller birds. These, it seems, were only appetiz­ ers, for the supper began with a pig, roasted whole, and stuffed with rousted larks^young hares, "wheat cars, ortolans (ouxtx'c/I-birds), yelks of eggs, oysters and cocklCs. At this period of the feast waa a course of fish—fresh-herring, mul­ let, eels, and a species of shad which comes, as with us, in the primest con­ dition, in April and the early part of May. All the dishes—fish, flesh and fowl— were served np with fresh herbs and pungent sauces. The bread was tinged with saffron, and, instead of butter, was covered with honey. The fish was followed by a young kid stewed in rich canoe—resembling a currant jelly dis­ solved in hot claret. There were small delicacies, such os tarts," preserved fruits, sweetmeats, cakes; but the above constituted the dinner, of which twenty gentlemen partook—the Greeks rarely allowed women to sit with them at any meal. After the solids, Greek wines, strong or sweet, were liberally partaken of. When justice was done "to these, fried fish, just flavored with a slight sprin­ kling of salt, were handed round. Then came a trial to see who could take most wine at a single draught, and w hoever emptied a vessel contain­ ing about a pint and a half was pre­ sented with the golden cup out of which he had quaffed. Later in the evening a roasted wild l>oar was served around, and then a slave blew a trumpet, which proclaimed that the supper was ended—but not the wine-bibbing, only that, after supper, light wines were taken, which, it was said, were antidotes to the strong and powerful wines of Thaaia and Lesbos, with which they hod begun.—Golden Days. Tiny Pipes for Women. The question, do nice women smoke, brings up a very pretty implement with which they may smoke if they so choose. The latest novelty exhibited in a Broad­ way jewelry store is a tiny pipe that only a woman could carry to her lips. Its stem is a trifle shorter’and smaller in diameter than the average meer­ schaum, and is made of gold, set with garnets, moonstones and emeralds. The mouthpiece is of yellow ond-pink-ve ined onyx, and the 1k>w1. w;hich might hold half a thimbleful, is heavily set with small gems. The toy is worth some­ thing like $100, and at a gilt-edged fine affair, when cigars are brought in with the coffi e, if a lady chooses to remain at the ebss of dinner, it may make a prettier combination than beauty and the cigarette. The jeweler says' that the first pipe of this sort was made to crd< r for a woman of some social posi­ tion, and that he hai had four or five calls for them since. The talk of ladies smoking is much exaggerated, how­ ever.

But they are only importing a foreign custom, which does npt strike any strong root here.—New 1'ork Mail and Express, Do Not EDI the Suspected Dog. Tho custom of killing dogs that have bitten people is, in my opinion, a great error. The idea that the death of the dog. if he bo rabid, protects against the development of hydrophobia is one of the most absurd superstitions that re­ main in this enlightened nineteenth century. If u man has had tho poison diffused through his veins it is imma­ terial whether the dog from which it was derived is dead or alive. The only good that can resalt from his death is the protection of the unbitten. On the other hand, if he is killed, and was not rabid, there remains the ineffaceable belief in the mind of the bitten man that he waa. Often his friends do not doubt that the dog is suffering from hydrophobia, and the force of one intellect upon another, coupled with the willingness of the victim to behave the worst possible of his case, often brings about the actual disease and causes him to die the horrible death of rabies. If, instead of immediately kill­ ing the dog. unless there is no room to doubt his madness, he was chained up until his innocence of the terrible distemper was firmlv established, it •would saVe not only lives that may bo lost through this fatal belief, but years of peace to all men that have incurred a bite from a canine.—A St Louis Phy­ sician. founded at Bologna by Theodosius about 433, but the real date of the es­ tablishment of the' University of Eoulotrne was 1116.

The ground plan is 60 by 100 feet; there are three stories and a basement, with a solid front of brown stone. The general style is of a French Renaissance, but the designer allowed himself much latitude. The main hall is that of an old English manor, and all the woodwork is of English black oak, elabortaely carved, with panel deco­ rations, choice paintings and steel suite of moil There is also a library finish­ ed in mahogany, a dining room in the Dutch style of the sixteenth century, a parlor upholstered in Gobelin tapestry, with deep friezes of allegorical paintings, a wonderful balcony, and a conservatory, 40 by 60 feet in size, which is a perfect paradise of ferns and exotic flowers, with bubbling fountains and waterfalls, over all of which is a light soft os that of a full moon. Altogether it is a neigh­ borhood of which the possible colored orphan neighbors would have nd cause to feel ashamed. Tho real wonder of the place, however, is the bath-room, mod­ elled after that of the luxurious Louis XV. of France. The ceiling is an imita­ tion of lattice work, with vines and flowers; tho immense later (vult to voce, "tub") is of silver and Tenevsee marble; the water comes in through brass pipes and gold-plated fixtures, and all the adornments are of sybaritic ele­ gance.—Philadelphia Metre. —AIjxim pbjwijuiM have formed * pro­ rMUwaakM n^etat] ¥ .

At Might of Noll her fear increased, . but by a mighty effort she calmed her­ self and prepared to meet her foe. He r.‘ach?d as if to seize her hand, but shrank from him as if he were a jx>i»ouous serpent. “I jxwitively forbid yon to ev?r touch me. Have I not told you that I hate you. and ought you not’ to be satisfied that you have me here your prisoner? Is tliat nil yon wanted of me in this room, to in-mit me again?" “No, my beautiful Lenora, I wished you to come to me that I might show you my home." As ho said nothing of her being mis­ tress of Ida home, she felt somewhat relieved. “I do not object to looking at vour nouse. Mr. Noll; from what I have seen of it so far, it must be a very nice prison." Noll bit his lips, yet said nothing. They passed through the whole beauti­ ful house, but Lenora took no interest in any part of it, until they came to the conservatory. As they passed up and down the long, beautiful aisles, she would gently touch with her soft rosy lips the lively flowers as she passed them by. “You seem to love flowers. Lenora." “Yes, they are my friends." And she cast a sweet, gentle**smile at Noll, for­ getting where s>he was and who she was with. “Miss Lenora, as it is now near din­ ner-time. we had best go to the art hall and then to the library.” The art hall was beautiful. She sat long and gazed in silent admiration upon the fine paintings and the grand collection of things of interest that Noll had gathered in his wanderings. “I see yon enjoy thia also." “Yes, I am an admirer of the fine arts and of beautiful nature." The library was next, and its walls were covered with the works of almost every author. There seemed to be nothing wanting; this, also, was a great attraction for Lenora. Noll saw she was pleased and thought best to im­ prove the opportunity and make an im­ pression, if possible. “You see. Miss Lenora, I have tried to make this little kingdom fit for the queen I wish to reign in it Beneath this are fine wine rooms and billiard halls, while in the rear of the building is the dining hall and kitchen.

Let us hone that this in the l»t fall Hint our whtsai baa got to be mar­ keted abroad, for with a market here our people will use it.. The outlook for Woodland is good, and already people are looking over our village with a view of purcbaaing here. Let our citixeaa encourage outsiders to set­ tle here, and build up a town- of our own. and when we have done this we can look with pride upon our village, as one that baa withstood the combined forces of all our neighboring towns to wipe her out. Col. Merrills, solicitor for the C. K. & S. R. IL. passed through from Port­ land to Hastings. From him we got the following information: That the company baa formally decided to build tbe road to Portland, and that unlessthe weather prevented would make thia place this fall. While at Portland the Colonel contracted for a gr_arel bed. one of the finest in the country. Col. Merrills will now go through on the line from Portland to BL Johns, via Westphalia, securing right of way and soliciting aid. He says tho two places referred to will donate liberally. Thus you see our contemplated road is get­ ting to be a stern reality, despite the rabid opposition we have bad from the beginning. Some of the business men over the lake tell our fanners that they cannot for the life of them see wbat a railtoad company can be thinking of, to build a road through here. Let me tell them that if they would have said one year ago thai they wondered why the D. L* hi. N. ever went through that country, then there might have been some com­ mon, sense connected with their re­ marks. * Allow me to say that tbe C. K. & S. knows Just why they want to run through here, and before two yews are over our neighbors will have dis­ cerned the same fact. But in spite of their sayings, the C. K. Ac 8. is getting there just the same. The people of Portland, Westphalia and SL Johns also know why this road is being built. Let Lake Odessa ask them.

And do I not know how charming you look in that irresistible, red and white affair you call a “bathing suit?" Why, even I (an incorrigible old bachelor, as I urn called, and old enough to be your father, no doubt) felt that I could not live without you when I first saw the vision I have here attempted to portray. But you refused me, Tremella, smiled up into my eyes and refused me; just as you will smile into the eyes of other love-lorn swains, who linger around nt "Sewaren Beach,” os I lin­ gered Inst season at Newport. I shall not answer your letter, Tremella. I dare not. ’ "A burnt child fears the fire," you know; and I shall not accept your suggestion that I spend n few weeks at "Sewaren Beach” this summer. No, I shall not come, Tremella; and, to guard against any possibility of my changing toy mind, I shall start ai once for the “Catskill Mountains." I have never been there, but I have a verv natural idea that “visions" (such as I saw at Newport) will not haunt me up in tbe mountains. I must never see yon again.

Bnt what would he say if some of the exceptional instances of the aoldiers suffering were present*d to him? Let him consider that dreadful picture of what befell our wound­ ed on the field just before tlie capitulation of fori Donelaon. in February, 1862? The weather was at first mild and pleasant; it changed after the fighting had continued some time, with snow and a cold wind. It was hard enough for the unwounded to shiver and endure frost bites; no fires could be permitted, as they would be­ tray the positions to the enemy. But think of the wounded in such a situa­ tion as thstl Hundreds of bath sides had fallen and lay where no help could be given th< m while the siege was go­ ing on; and as the cold increased, many of these were frozen to death, and were found afterward with their limbs and bodies fastened as in a vise by tha freezing of the mud in which they lay. Could any form of death be more appalling? If there could be. it would be that which overtook other hundreds at Chancellorsville in May, 1863, nnd again in the Wilderness, near by, a In both of thesa situations there were places between the opposing lines where the dry grass, brush, and fences, even the woods and thickets, were set on fire by burning cartridge-paper. The devouring fiames and the stifling smoke rolled over the poor, helpless victims of the fight; their agonizing cries oould fo beard bv their com­ rades, hut nothing could be done to help them. How many men were there burned or .suffocated to death will never lie known. An eye-witness of the horrors of tho Wilderness* says of thi* fearful epi­ sode: “While we were fighting savagely over these intrenchment* the woods in our front caught fire, aud I saw many of our wounded burned to death. Mus'i they not have suffered horribly? I am not at all sure of that. Tito smoke rolled heavily and slowly before the fire, and 1 think that by for the larger portion of the men who were roasted were suffocated before the flames could reach them.” The conjecture of this writer may be true; but he fails to take into account the mental agony, worse than a thou­ sand deaths, of these helpless soldiers, Iving on the ground and watching the destroying tire and smoke crawling to­ ward them, without the jiower to es­ cape. Could anything be more hideous than that? But a volume would be required to recount the special and dreadful forms of suffering that visited the soldier. The people as a whole know very little of them. None bnt the soldier can un­ derstand what the soldier endured. While the body-was slowly sinking, the white-headed preacher was ex­ horting the attendant*! in eloauen| aud impressive language, and aJ«o com­ mitting the body, “Dust to dust," etc. Just a* they were in the act of throw­ ing in the dirt covering, up darted the dead body, head first, more than half wav cut of the grave, and the last one of them -r.in away yelling.

Tho issue at steak—so to speak—was which of the two restau­ rants approached nearer to a geomet­ rically square meal for a hungry marin­ er ashore, Delmonico’s or Monquin’s. “By the beard of my pilgrim ances­ try!” quoth Captain Cutlass, “I would rather cat tbe crumbs that fall from Delmonico’s table than chew the choicest viands that Monquin can aet forth.” “By the blood of the Vikings, that courses in my veins!” vowed Captain Cleats, “I would not ask the mongrel curs of Gloucpatento .gnaw the dain­ tiest biis~T>cliuonico can devise." . AritU thuOhey swore long and loud. ' “The morrow’s sun will see us safe in port,” said Captain Cutlass, one evening, as he watvhed the orb oi day declining in the suburbs of Bridgeport; “the crew shall sup with us at Del­ monico’s." “Not mj, by my Moorish cuirass!" roared Captain Cleats. “It shall never be!” . “How so, forsooth ?” “By yonder sinking fire I swear! Hear me, O Neptune!” “And hear me, ye guiding stars!” bellowed Captain Cutlass, in BoothBarratt tones. “I hate said it.” Then each went his way with mutter­ ings. It was a goodly custom of the skip­ pers- of the “Eliza” to spread a fat and merry feast for their jolly crew of one squint-eyed tsr, when safe ashore, the ducats wherewithal being taken from the great iron cheat full of doubloons of the reign of Grover 1.

' “Traitor!" he shouted, in crarnpy tones, “you liave deceived me. ” “Soft there!" cautioned Captain Cleats. “I have had ’my day like even- dog; the night is yours; go where you list." “And will every day see you change the.oourae?"

You may have had a trick played on yon but I tell you that this is to your advantage. It won’t take you ten minutes. The only reason I want you to go with me is that I may prove my good faith." He continued with such strong im­ portunity that Twain finally consented to go with him. The humorist was con­ ducted through a muddy street and down a dark alley to a small, wooden building. His conductor unlocked a door, entered a room and lighted a smoky lamp. “Come right in an’ set down." The humorist looked around and dis­ covered that he was in a printing-office, fitted up with a hand-press and a few “cases" of type. “Set down." Twain seated himself on a box.

Samabcand has been selected as the city where the Czar is to be crowned Emperor of Central Asia. Samarcand has a great. history. Alexander the Great occupied it, the Nestorians es­ tablished in it the see of a Christian bishopric, and the fierce conqueror, Tamerlane, invested it with barbaric magnificence, and made.it his capital, as it is also his sepulcher.

Trimly ac­ coutered he proceeds at precisely five minutes before the hour of meeting to the room of the presiding officer. He halts in the doorway with military abruptness, makes a very stiff but very deferential bow, and says: “Sir, the hour of the meeting of the Senate has arrived.” Then he bows again, escorts the presiding officer. into the chamber, delivers the gavel head into his hands, and retires to his post at the left of the President’s desk. A wedding ceremony was performed a few days ago in Brooklyn, N. Y., • which carried the jmrticipants back to the terrible blizzard wliinh visited New •York in March last.' The acquaintance which resulted in the marriage was be­ gun while the streets of Brooklyn were filled with snow. The contracting parties were Miss Mary McEwen and George Cozen, of Hicksville, L. I. On the night after the great storm Mr. Cozen was floundering through the drifts in East New York avenue, when he was attracted by the sounds of a woman’s voice calling for help. He made his way to-the place whence the sounds came and found Miss McEwen lying helpless in the snow. Her feet, hands and cars were frozen, and she was so exhausted that she had lain her­ self down to die. Mr. Cozen, being an athletic Young man, picked the helpless young lady up, put her on his back and carried her to her home. The journey was' a weary one, but home was reached at last and Miss McEwen received the care'of tender hands. Her rescuer was a frequent caller after that, and, it is needless to say, a welcome one. The acquaintance rapidly sprang into inti­ macy, and as the two young people talked over the eventful night they found themselves regarding each other with feelings of other than gratitude on the one hand and admiration on the other. _________________ The reappearance of Judge D. S. Terry in the public prints as one otthe principal'* in the Sharon-Hill suit and his imprisonment for contempt of court, recall a celebrated duel which Terry fought with Senator Broderick and the tragic death of the flatter. Terry became embittered against Broderick lifcause he failed to secure a renomination for Chief Justice and he thought that Broderick had some­ thing to do with his defeat Broderick Jiad become a warm adherent of Stephen A. Doughs. At a Democratic State Convention held in 1859, Terry denounce! Broderick in unmeaauhd terms and said that if he was the fol­ lower of any Doughs it was the black Douglass, whose name isFrodeiiak, not Stephen. Broderick read Terry's re­ marks in r. paper one morning when he was eating hi breakfast; He merely said that he “would not take back the remark that h» hid once made, that Terry was the only honest Judge on the Supreme bench." In the then state of society in California this remark was considered a good enough ground for a duel, atad a challenge was sant by Terry to Brod­ erick. Eighty persons witnessed the affair; a half-dollar was tossed up and Judge Terry won the choice of weapons. The seconds of Senator Broderick had become very nervous over the prelim­ inaries, and this somewhat unmanned their principal. The pistols were finally cocked and the word .given for firing. There was a report from Broderick's pistol, followed in a second by Terry's. For some reason Broderick’s pistol ex­ ploded before it had been brought to a level. The bullet buried itself in the ground a third of the distance short. Had it gone all the way it would have struck the mark, for it went in a per­ fectly direct line. The report of Terry’s pistol had hardly died away when Broderick was seen to start. He turned half way round and grasped at the air as though trying to recover his balance. His head droppod and he fell flat on his back,'his pale face upturned t j the sky. The ball entered ‘he right breast and passed through the upper lobe of the left lung. The owner of the ranch upon which the duel was fought was so intensely excited over this that he shouted: “That is murder, by God!" Terry was arrested in San Francisco and Broderick died in three days. The excitement throughout California was intense. The trial followed and re­ sulted in Terry's acquittal. The very original wedding tour of Mr. and Mrs. Sigourney, terminated on time. When they were married in Buffalo, in 1882, their wedding cards read: “Mr. and Mrs. Sigourney at ho'ine Thursdays in Sacramento, Cal., beginning May 10, 1888." They ar­ rived promptly in Sacramento on the A Magic Husband. date specified, after a prolonged wed­ real ding tour of six years, during which life the feats that they seem to per­ form on the stage, they would never time they had explored very nearly the need, when married, to live on “bread and cheese and kisses.” The cele­ thing like >75,000.

The following pretty incident of Gladstone is related in one of our ex­ changes. About fifty years ago several haulers were employed in carrying pig iron from Brynibo to Queen’s Ferry. Among the n*uml>er was one William. Griffiths, who is still alive. This man, when going down Tinkerdale one day with his load of iron, wan accosted bv a stranger, who talked very freely with him. Among the questions, the stran­ ger asked him how much per day he got for carrying the iron. “Six and sixpence," said the carter. “ What weight have von on tho cart ?* “About a ton and a Half.” "And what do you pay for gates?” “Eighteen pence." “How much does it coat to keep tho mare?” “Thirteen shillings a week." Presentlv they reached the foot of the mill: hill. “How are you going to get this up hill?" asked the stranger. “Oh, I mum get my shuder and push hup ’ere." “Hl help you a bit," said the stran­ ger, and he at once put his shoulder to the cart and pushed up the hill well. When they reached the top the hauler said, “You an’ me ’as been as good as a chain ’orse.” “Well, well," said the stranger, “I don't know how the poor horse’s legs are, but mine ache very much indeed. I snpjxise yon can manage now." “Yes, thank you," said the hauler; and wishing each other good day they sepa­ rated. As soon as the stranger was gone a tradesman asked Griffiths if he knew who had been helping him. “No." said he, “I never seen ’im be­ fore." "That was Mr. Gladstone,” said tho “Mr. Gladstone exclaimed tho hauler, “I dun no what ’ell think o' me, then; for I never sir'd ’im nor nothin’.

Fuller on his oasum ption of the office of Chief Justice of the United- States. they were joined In their manifestation by the foremost citizens ot Chicago. Repub­ licans and Democrats all united in their tribute to a man whom tho city delighted to honor. When the doors of the Palmer House dining-room were thrown open be­ fore Judge Drummond and Mr. Fuller about 6^K)p. m.. the breath of Eden touched their nostrils. The Bov. Dr. Fleetwood, on tho Judge's left, probably thought of Paradise with its unfading flowers. Its golden light and silvery sheen. Mr. Fuller will be for­ given if ho thought it the garden of the gods and tho strains of music were from Olym­ pus. He might have hesitated to take Jupiter's seat or even a place in the row of American gods who- sat behind the long table al the head of tho dining-room. But Mr. Fuller is the greatest god in American the rulers and their laws, for he establishes them or sets them aside. He is the Chief Justice of the highest tribunal this side St heaven, and the banquet was in his honor. Half hidden behind the stands and baskets of flowers that stood in the center of the tables were rows of glosses, th in.as paper and translucent osti fancy. From the chan- deliore hung strands of smilnx entwined with yellow roses, and pendent from the center, balls of Marechai Niel roses. The white shades and tho glittering electric lights looked like huge daisies. A rope of smllax. looped with pink and yellow roses, festooned thu front of the honored guest’s table. In front of Judge Drummond, who pre­ sided. was an immense bank of dark-red American beauty roses. Behind the vener­ able Judge a pointed arch of daisies, roses, asters, and smilax supported u floral piece representing the scales of justice. A basket of rare flowers was suspended In tha arch. Banks of white and pink roses, baskets of cardinal, flora! scales, white dahlias, and a path of tern leaves strewed the Chief Jus­ tice's table. On each of the forty-five tables in the body of the room stood a different flora! design. OnJudge Drummond's right sat tho guest of the evening, the Chief Justice of tho United States Supremo Court, tho Hon. Melville Fuller. hair wm no whiter. *__ _W. • a.

In answering the charge that Mr. Fuller was nnt well known, be said that tho new Chief Justice was exceedingly well known in Chicago, and Cook County con­ tained more than twice the population of Vermont Tills subtle reference to Senator Edmund's opposition was received with re­ peated cheers and clapping ot hands. The speaker thought Mr. Fuller would bo an honor to the bench of tho United States Su­ premo Court, and the banquet was a com­ plete vindication. Al the conclusion of the Judge's remarks he proposed the health of Melville Weston Fuller. Chief Justice of tho Supremo Court of the United States. The guests arose to their feet and some one proposed three cheers for Mr. Fuller. Tlic cheers were given with a combination roar of jury argu­ ment. Mr. Fuller's voice was soft and tremulous when he arose. Hix eyes were in sympathy with his voice. Mr. Fuller ran briefly over his experience with the early Chicago bar. When he mentioned the names of Lincoln and Drummond tho lawyers arose and cheered until their throats were scorched. Many other names, as those ot Judge Caton and Leonard Swett, were also loudly ap­ plauded. Ho expressed his keen apprecia­ tion of the honor conferred on him. which ho took as a recognition of Chicago and the great West rather than a personal compli­ ment. When he took his senj the audience again arose and gave him a round of cheers. Judge Gresham spoke to the toast. “The Bench." sketching tho powers ot the Su­ premo Court and concluding with an ex­ pression of confidence In tho President s se­ lection of u Chief Magistrate of tho highest court In the land. The Judge's speech was very brief, for Judge Moran was on tho pro­ gramme tcT help him wrestle with tho same subject. Judge Moran's address dealt chiefly with tho lower courts and their duties. Ho thought tho people of Illinois bud peculir cause to be proud of their judiciary. In all the seventy years of its judicial system no Judge had been impeached nor within fifty years had there been a judicial scandal In this time great co rm irate relations hod been adjusted, and though many jrfdges hod been elected in political contests the integrity of tho judiciary had never been questioned. He compared the English courts with tho American tribunals. Many newspaper edit­ ors liked tho speedy trial of criminal cases in the English courts, but the speaker ques­ tioned tho efficiency of such tools. He got a twist at tho British lion's tail bv declaring that while we wore catching a thief the En­ glish courts could convict an Irishman of loving his country and send him to prison. W. C.

At the apex of the main pavilion rises a flag-staff to a height from the ground of nearly two hundred feet- From each corner of tho pavilion rise smaller flag-staffs, from which float beautiful streamers bearing tho words "Iowa.* “Dakota." "Nebraska and “Min­ nesota." In the main tower there is a wind­ ing stairway, and from the top a splendid view of toe city can bo obtained. Between the small towers are beautiful fountains fo the center of miniature landscapes.Imado aa natural m life with green, grassy sods, mossy rocks and dwarf trees, with a silvery rivulet flowing past. The great body of the outside is covered with cars of corn, sawed lengthwise through tho center, and nailed with two brads with the flat orcob side next to the walls. To reKovu toe monotony different colors are used, and white, red. speckled, purple, and Clden-vellow ears were obtained. The exrior is laid off into panels, which are plainly marked by the varied colors of the groat Western prodact. Next to the ground Is a wainscoting of cornstalks, stripped of their leaves and pocked close together. Thn entrances, windows, etc., are also bordered with cornstalks prepared in the same way. The railing of the towers Is also covered with oornstalks. and the long stalks of grain—wheat and oats—while the capstones of tho turrets are represented by the buzhv heeds of millet, bearded oats, and sorghum seed. Springing from toe inmost corners of the towers to the apex corner of the roof of the main pavilion are tight festoons.or, to use toe architectural term, firing buttresses, covered with full sheaves of golden grain, and imparting an effect of massiveness to the structure. The rOof lines are harmoniously Irregular, sweeping from the central pavilion to the exterior as the several front elevators require. The broken " ' outline was intentional In ormaximum surface for decora­ -perturcs in the towers are spa­ cious. generally of an arched style along the upper sources and entrances but angu­ lar in the ground course. This purpose was also to give a variety of outline for decora­ tive purnoses. Thus, while the structure is of a composite and original architectural order, the plan is admirably adapted to the uses for which it was designed. In addition to the plans of decoration fur­ nished by the artist, many original and unique designs ore worked out by toe dec­ orators themselves. Panels are laid out and covered with variegated ears, mostly sawed lengthwise, but some cut crosswise of toe ear. forming bright rosettes, about an inch thick and of the diameter of toe corn ear. A -single slender nail through the center of tiie cob holds each piece in place, and many fanciful designs are thus made. Signs and mottoes are made, the borders being stalks denuded of blades and ears, interwoven with golden wheat-straw and somber-col­ ored sorghum heads. Tha letters are made by fastening the corn rosettes as above, and a very gorgeous style of block-letter is pro­ duced. Tho windows of all toe towers ore latticed with coni ears strung on wires. Some are purple, some are red. others yel­ low. and still others white, giving that va­ riety of coloring which Is at onea the charm and novelty of too general effect. Viewed from the distance ot a block or two the trifling irregularities of detail are softened and a magnificent blending of color Is presented to the eye. The prevailing shade.of course, is yellow, while the red and white of the corn ears, the brown of the sorghum, and the dead green of the corn bladei* relieve the outward surface of a mo­ notony which might ordinarily have been expected, while tho varying heights of the salient outlines add a charm of perspective, with lights and shadows, that combine to produce a singularly beautiful and striking effect. The interior of the palace is veritably a realm of enchantment. Under the brigh ness shed by half a hundred electric lights after nightfall, it presents an appearance thnt rivals Fairyland. From toe rough plank walls, ungainly posts, andhigh vnulting dome of irregular outline and un­ sightly rough surface has been created a bower.of beauty never before equaled In any clime. And all this marvel was worked without the aid of those adjuncts of decoraLive arts •' ’ which have heretofore been dermsd essential to the plans of skilled artisans. There is no tinsel or fine materinl. no precious metals, no use of costly pig­ ments. An ear ot yellow corn, a handful of pralrte grass, bunch of unsightly weeds, wisp of golden straw—these arc toe ma­ terials used. Scattered about the walls are appropriate mottoes curiously wrought with corn and other field grains and grasses. The rough nosts that sui ppon lerive are covered with corn and ch___.- Into Ionic.

The ceilings under the galleries are ornamented with devices that can not be described in words so m to convoy suggestion of their appearance. Land­ scapes. maps, flags, mottoes. music staff with corn-stalk notes, emblems of hus­ bandry. and quotations significant of the fertility of the country are everywhere shown. seemingly Infinite variety of de­ signs is presented to the 'admiring eye. and the originality of the decorations is truly amazing. The palace Is lighted by electricity, and is for fighting fire and of sewerage. thief for twelve years, and has been before other prominent monitors of the society, claiming 110,000 damages for malicious prosecution. This case was taken up on a change of genue from Jones County to Clin­ ton. There it was twice tried, and then re­ moved to Benton County on a change ot venue, where it was once more before the coarts. In each of these trials the jury r®‘ turned a verdict in favor of Johnson for amounts ranging from 23.000 to 27.000. and each Ump the Judge set the verdict aside on account of alleged errors. The case was next taken to Blackhawk County in 1883. on another change ot venue, and there tried, interdict of 25.000 ren­ dered by tho jury and judgment entered. From-this, however, an appeal was taken to tho Supremo Court, tho decision reversed, and the case remanded back for trial in 1884. In 1886 the case wm once more tried in Blackhawk County, and again a decision was rendered in favor ot Johnson tor $7,000. This was again appealed to the Su­ premo Court, and once more the verdict was set aside and the case sent back for trial In 1887. and the sixth trial of tho ease occurs after fourteen years of litigation. This litigation has been un­ der the consideration of thirty grand jurors and eighty-four petit jurors. It has been presented to nine different trial judges, and has twice been before tho Supremo Court, five judges sitting upon tho bench each time. The court costs alone amount to more than $3.0U0. and tho attorneys' fees are much more than that amount. All of the eighty-four jurors have decided In favor _of'Johnson. but the courts have uniformly set the verdicts aside on legal grounds, be­ cause of tho close question as to whether there was probable cause ton the part of the members of the society for starting prose­ cution. » Tho large part of a lifetime has been spent in useless litigation over a few ani­ mals. - tho entire value ot which was about 245. A number of the farmers engaged In tho suits have become hopelessly ruined, but still Johnson comes smilingly before the court, begins his suits, and readily pars for them, and is already an old man. Chil­ dren oft various ages, who testified when tho legislation first began, now lead into court their own children, who are nearly as old as were their parents at the time they made their first bow to Hie courts. The farmers are growing old. their money has leaked away through the various legal crev­ ices. and found its way into other hands; homes hare been broken up. a community made poorer In every way. and still tho case is dragged through the tedious chan.acls of tho law. with but little more chance of settlement than there was fourteen years ago. OLD CORN ON HAND. The following crop and stock summaries As there is every prospect nt the present time for an immense crop of corn this year, it is a matter of interest to ascertain some­ thing regarding the amount of corn of tho 1887 crop in tho farmers’ hands, and also facts relative to tho supply of hogs for the consumption of the new erop. A very thor­ ough canvass of the country, through tho medium of our correspondents, enables us to offer important facte on these subjects.

The total amount^receipted for was $56,000on dates between Ang, 6 and Sept. 15, St. Luke's Hospital having receipted for the $30,000 bequest very recently. It was a provision by the testator that the above bequests should be conditioned upon the fact thnt the parties should be alive at ths time of bis death. This provision operated advere ly only in the case of Mrs. Marie L. Welles, died prior to the death ot Mr. Eaton, her bequest be­ ing the sum of $5,000. The residue of the estate, after tho payment ot these be­ quests. is devised entirely to Theodore H. Eaton, Jr., the only child and heir at law of deceased.

However, after going 280 miles out of their way they reached n small station near Jacksonville, where, by keeping secret the name of the place they had come from, the family obtained tickets to Way Cross, Ga. There the cars were fumigated and quarantined and dours locked, and the train put on. a side track outside the city, where it s'ood for twenty hours more without any food for the passengers.

Mr. Cleveland’s supporters appear to be extremely anxious to reduce the surplus, bnt exhibit no desire to get rid of the national debt. The proposal of General Harrison to devote the for mer to the reduction of the latter has even aroused the fiercest opposition from the Free-Trade organs, and par­ ticularly from thoae of the Mugwump section of the Democratic party. The New York Times, for instance, com­ menting on the Republican candidates declaration that "The Surplus now in the Treasury should be used iu the purchase ot bonds,” denounces it as “positively vicious assertion” con­ tained in his letter of acceptance, and adds that “The most violent and reck­ less Protectionists; the most selfish beneficiary of a Tariff-sheltered trust could not devise a mortf sneaking, dis­ honest and infamous way of prevent­ ing the reduction of protective taxes than to recommend that the money wrong from the people • • • should be used up—so much of it as Congress cannot rightly spend or safely squan• der—in paying the public debt in ad­ vance of maturity and at a high prem­ ium on the bonds so redeemed.” The utter absurdity of tills fiercely worded but fallacious argument against reducing the national debt can be easi­ ly made clear to all intelligent minds by one example of the saving which would be effected by devoting the sur­ plus to that object. The four-per-cent bonds have yet nineteen years to run, and, therefore, if not bought in by the government before maturity the people will have to pay S76 of interest on ev­ ery S100 bond. These ar© selling now at less than $ 180 and their purchase at this figure would consequently save the people more than forty-aix per cent of interest on the total amount But even were they to rise to <138 the gov­ ernment by buying them in could, it is evidtent, save half the interest required should they be allowed to run to ma■ turity, or, in other words, save two per cent per annum for every year they have yet to run. By devoting tho surplus to the purchase of these and other bonds a saving of between thirty and forty millions of dollars to the people of the United States would be effected, and therefore General Harrison’s proposi­ tion is a wise and patriotic one and the outcry of the Times against it is unfair, unOustifiable and absurd.

Ever since tho foundation oftho city the'Russians have hnd-n place of worship on this spot. Under Peter a wooden edifice w«s erected that was doutroyod by Are. Then Catherine built one. which waa finished in 1W)I. but did not suit her. and with the reck less way she hud of doing things, it was torn down, and foundations laid in 1809 for what was to be. and until re­ cently has been, the finest temple in tho empire. <hc foundation Itself te a wonder, for It te a perfect forest ot pfies. a million or more of them, sunk in the marsh an which the oity is built, at a cost of S1.5UO.OOO; but even this work te not sufficient to carry the onormoua weight of stone resting upon It. and for more than fifty years all the engineers of tho empire have been experimenting at *ii enormous cost to make it more secure, without great success. The walls toward tho river ore gradually sinking, aud there Hcerus no way to prevent iu , Enormous scaffolding continually conceals the walls, destroying the appearance of tho building, cut giving continual employment to u large number of workmen, who undoubtedly need tlic money more than tho church. The total cost of the building was originally $16,000,000, $3,000,000 more tbnn thn Capitol at Washington, but the repairs since it was completed in 1858 have been enormous. Tho building te tn tha form of a Greek cross, like all tho Rnssian churches, each of the four grand entrances being approached by three broad flights of steps, each whole flight being com[x>^o<l of a single block <rf grcjiito brought from Finland on sledgoR over the snow.

These steps lead from tho four Hides of the building to tho Xour grand entrances, each of which has superb peristyle. Each portico has 112 maMire pillars polished granite, sixty feet high, with a <L umeter of eleven and a half fact—the finest aaaomblago of granite monoliths in the world, all from out of the same quarry In Finland. Thu pillars are crowned with cap­ itate of bronzy. Over thn peristyles, and at twice their height, rises the chief and cen­ tral dome 296 feet, supported by thirty pil­ lars, which, although gigantic in size, look small compared with those below. The dome te covered with copper, overlaid with gold bullion, hammered to the thinness of Che American dollar. The value of the gold tjpon thte roof i* nearly 1.000,000 roubles, and it glitters in the sun with amaztug bril­ liancy.

The affect of the music te heightened by the appearance of th* monks, who do not alt as the choirs of other churches do. but stand in a Mmi-circto. two or three rows deep, as the case may be. in front of the ikonostas or altar.

They believe that it is cut by the artist from a block of marble, by means of a chisel and mullet, and that this cutting goes on. on, on, until the sculpture is completed. Now, in nearly every instance, the sculptor only copies, in marble, what he or someliody else had previously made in plsster-of-paris or in clay. ’ What he copies from, what he tries to make a facsimile of, is called the model, and is usually the exact size of what is to be reproduced in marble. Some sculptors us?d to copy in mar­ ' ble from half-sized models, a system which is injurious to the attainment of true proportions, for the defects are sure to become exaggerated (at the ratio of eight to ono, it is said) in the full-sized marble, ami the nature of that material is such that scarcely any lalxjr, however judicious, can effectu­ ally repair so great an error. The at­ tempt to remove or correct one defect is often the means of discovering two, and any change is like cutting a tooth out of a nicely-balanced wheel. The proper way is to make a full­ sized model; to ImiH up a large struc­ ture of wet and well-tempered elay, and preserve it in just proportion until the figure, or group of figures, is com­ pleted, and a east of it has been made in plaster-of-paris. The clav model re­ quires to bo kept perpetually damp, to prevent it becoming dry ’and brittle. Water has to be squirted over it. and wet cloths put closely around it. on leaving it after each day’s work. If this were neglected the clay would crack aud fall to pieces. A skeleton of wood has to be con­ structed in the shape of the figure to be made, and around this the modeling clay is to be carefully anti closely wrought. By means of' this skeleton of wood, something very like the bulk of the required figure is obtained, rude and rough, as yon may well suppose, but sufficient for the artist To support hanging draperies, further framework has to be constructed. Wire and bits of wood will suspend arms and folds of draper,', while the whole skel­ eton is kept in its position by au up­ right piece of timber, resembling the' mast of a ship, which rises out of the center of the turning-bunker on which the statue is modeled. The skeleton completed and firm, the next thing is to cover it with the mod­ eling clay. This material, which is to be fennd everywhere, does not contain any stones, not even the smallest peb­ ble. It Um to bo carefully and thor­ oughly beaten up, with as much pure water as is necessary, until it is as pli­ able as putty or the softest dough. The artist, having liefore him the sketch of which he means .to make a solid copy, cuts the square lumps of pliant clay into long, thin slices, works it round the wooden framework and l>eats it solidly in, so as to leave no crevices in which water may lodge aud endanger his labor. The clay, wrought with very simple tools of wood, and with tho hand, gradually grows into tho required form; the artist turns the figure round and round (the foundation on which it stands moving on a pivot), proves it in strong and in weak lights, compares it with living and also with dead models, and when he conceives it to be true tn proportion, and expressing the wishedfor sentiment, proceeds to clothe or drape it. All statues, I must mention, are mod­ eled naked, and then clothed. This is done to insure accuracy of proportion and gracefulness of shape, without which no drapery will hang with ele­ gance, and fine workmanship be thrown To obtain natural and flowing dra­ pery, a al oak or robe of tbe same tex­ ture of that to Lo represented is placed on the lay figure or manikin, which is one of the “properties" of painter and sculptor. Tho figure itself fixed in the proper position, and the robe adjusted until it falls iu the dreired manner, the Kral* idea of the drapery—the chief ng lines—is already determined, and from the rol>e the detail is copied. Louis Framus Roubiliac, a celebrated French sculptor, * ho settled in Eng­ land over a century ago, and made, with other excellent works, the full­ length statue of Shakspeare which he dipped into warm starch­ __ so that, when he had pleased himself, he left it to cool and dry. and thou proceeded with the marble.” . Hie limjn, thna starched, was easily placed in the desired folds, and dried in a few honrs, retaining them. Later sculptors have adopted the same simple aud successful means of saving trouble and securing accuracy. When the model is completed in clav, a mold in plastor-of-paris is easily made over the figure, and all the clay (which may be used again) and the framework are removed. As the mold is, made in two parts, it is easily washed and placed together. A cast is then made of a finer plaster than the mold, and iron? ate put up the center to support it With a wooden mallet and blnnt chisel, formed like a wedge, the artist removes the outer mold, which peels readily off. After that tho plaster statue is carefully cleaned down, and then it is fit to be dried in a hot stove , and copied into marble. * Formerly this was done, first, by rough-hewing the marble, and‘after that by carefully cutting it away with a delicate but quick touch, eo as to pro­ duce in the stone a facsimile, or per­ fect copy of the planter model. There was, a century back, a meas­ uring instrument, technically colled a “pointing machine," which was used in transferring the expres 4 image of the model to marble. It was-clumsy, and not very efficient. Bacon invented an improvement up­ on it, by which into the marble block were sunk, at various depths, cor­ responding with the proportions of the model, marks which denoted how much of the marble was'to be cut sway by the skillful rough-hewer. Sixty years ago, Sir Francis Chan­ trey, a great sculptor, improved so very 'considerable upon the "pointing machine" that its accuracy and rapidity | became immensely increased. The model is placed on a level at any desired elevation, the marble is close to it, the measuring^pin goes lightly over the model,.and as it goes, a number of small holes are drilled in the marble nearly corresponding with the outlines of the model. The rough-hewer rapidly cuts away the marble down to tho prescribed size, and is succeeded by another—an artist in all bat creative jKjwer—who, with care and skill, and the quick cer­ tainty that long practice gives, makes tho marble a beautiful copy of the mtxlel. The sculptor finally goes over themarble, using tile and chisel, to give the masterly tiui-hiag touches, which add grace and delicacy and loveliness to the whole.—Golden Day.i. Mra.

Health and Work. There are many persons in the world whose'only capital is health. They are engaged in work of various kinds, and so long as health lasts they earn a good living. They must learn how to avoid illness by living in the right way. There are others who have lived wronglv in their youth, but have found out their errors in time to have a fairly good constitution left. These may live to a ripe old age, healthfully, if they only take care. There are still others with everything that riches can give; these must learn to live rightly, too, if they want to be well Plain food, exer­ cise, etc., will enable these to live long, as they are not troubled by necessity of work, ’so that they may live. Wealth comes not from our income, bnt from the amount we save of it; so health comes not from the amount we have to go on with, but from the amount we save, by not spending it ota trifles which waste our strength andzgive us no re­ turn.—Dr. Alfison.

Neither m into tha account that older female* while males of their own ago are <.m tho street or mingling with peraous whose habits are not the bed. Many of the temptations to crime come from busi­ ness complications, in which women luve no sKare. As women spend most of their time at home with their children and female companions, they are less likely to be tempted to do acts of violence. Most homicides are the results of anger incited when per­ sons are awsv from their homes and families. Violent quarrels general)* take place in the street and not in the sitting-room. Tho history of crime, however, allows that most of tbe murders committed by the administration of poison are perpe­ trated by women. They show careful jireparation and great deliberation. In almost every instance treachery is em­ ployed. Tho victim is generally in­ vited to partake of refreshments sup­ plied by one who is presumed to be q friend, and dore so without the slight­ est suspicion. Murder by the adminis­ tration of j>oifion is the darkest of all crimes, but it is the ono to which women have been addicted more gen­ erally than men in all ages aud coun­ tries^ Statistics in relation to crime have never been carefully compiled in this country, and till recently little atten­ tion has been given to classifying them. Iu Great Britain, however, the matter has received more careful considera­ tion. Iu on extended review of crim­ inal matters there during a period of fifty years tho singular fact has been ascertained that men generally commit their crimes before they are 40 years old, while women commit theirs after that period in their lives. In other words, men generally cease to commit crimes at the age when women com­ mence. Another very remarkable fact has recently been contributed to a London paper by tho chaplain of Clerkenwell Jail. It is to the effect that women criminals aro practically incurables. He has prepared a table extending through ten Tears, and showing how many men and women have been con­ victed of offenses more than ten times during that period. During |zsi year there were committed to the vanous prisons and jails in England and Wales 5.G86 and 9.764 women who had been committed not less than ten times pre­ viously. Such is the case at a time when crime is rapidly decreasing, when the number known os criminals is con­ stantly diminishing, and when there are six thousand fewer inmates of pris­ ons than there were in 1886. A partial explanation of this strange state of things may be found in the fact that women are more thoroughgoing'in all things—good, bad, or indifferent,—than men are. They do nothing by halves. Be the matter tho (".instruction of u short-cake, the mak­ ing of a crazy quilt, or the poisoning of a rival, she devotes all her time, knowl­ edge, and talents to it. Doubtlessly a woman finds more dif­ ficulty in reforming, if she desires to do so, than a man dore. The latter can go to a strange'or distant place, raise whiskers, or shave off those he had, assume a different name, and com­ mence a new life. If ho is skilled in any branch of work ho can generally find remunerative employment A strange woman is always looked upon with suspicion, as it is presumed that she would prefer to live in the town where she was brought up and where her old acquaintances are. A man gets credit for his enterprise if he goes to a new country and engages in business for himself. Such is not tha case with women.—^Chicago Times. Row to Have White Hands. I promised to tell you about the care of the hands. Always remember that what is known as a "dead-white” band is undesirable. The hand should be white, with a flush or pink showing through, especially at the fingertips. It should Im- firm and well shaped and should be able to grasp a friend’s hand with a strong, cordial pressure; above all, it should never have, au air of help­ lessness. After the fingers have been held in hot water for a short time the noils should be carefully trimmed with a pair of sharply pointed scissors kept for th© purpose. In shape the nail should resemble the half-moon; the pointed style is bad form. Tight sleeves, tight gloves, and even tight corsete will make the hands red. Sometimes a qjose-fitting bracelet will have tl»e same efibet. One of the aimtb st and best methods of making the ands white is to moisten them well with glycerine or vaseline and draw on a pair of gloves. This must be done fur many u night, and to stop, even for a little while, may counteract the good effect of w<-eks of care. Soft, un­ dressed kid gloves are best, and they may be purchased cheaply, if one chooses an unfashionable color. They must be at k-aat two aises too large or they will do exactly what you are try­ ing to prevent—cause the blood to rush to the hands. Why do I prefer vas­ eline? Because, my dear Kitty, mine skins are so wnaitivo that glycerine actually makes them brwWn, and some­ times causes a painAH eruption. M, however, glycerine has been tried with good results, I prefer it to anything else, for, like the desr little girl in the nur­ sery rhyme, “when it is good it is very, very good. ” I have often lieeu told of another quick method of whitaniug the hands, but I will not vouch for it.

Colonel Sevier had been away fight­ ing the enemies of his country, and it can be imagined bow joyfully his re­ turn would be welcomed. ’ ' wife in his arms and kissing her. “we’ve won the day, and JVe brought about thirty of the red-skiuM home with me for you to nlay mother to. It will make a good-sized family ; but we’ve plenty to feed them with, and their presence here' is a suretv of safety for all the whites in the settlement.” Whatever might have been the ma­ tron's surprise as she looked around nt the motley group of Indian boys and girls, she made no sign of it, but nodded at them pleasantly, as though to say : "All tijRht, little red brothers and sisters; i’ll take care of you." Brightening faces answered her glance—that is. among the girls, for the lads had already been trained to habta of Indian stoicism, and looked oh grave as though the mantles of their chieftain-fathers had already descended upon them. Ruth Sevier—her parents’ pet daugh­ ter—now came to the front. She had ever ha l a peculiar fondness for the tawny children of the land, and had learned their dialect from an old, de­ crepit squaw who had taken refuge in tbe family when the medicine-innn of the tribe had accused her of witchcraft and condemned her to death. As Ruth came and stood in her child­ ish beauty among the captives, they looked at her in wondering amazement. Tbe sunlight streamed in nt the open door and turned her yellow hair into a golden aureole around her head. A bright pink was on her dimpled cheeks, and her blue eyes shone with a joyous light. She took a little Indian girl’s wiry brown fingers in her tiny hand, and laid her cheek against the dusky maiden’s. Then she looked around at the others and said in the Sliawanese ______ yonr sister, and yotirx. and yours," pointing to one after another until she had gone the rounds, “for I love you and wont • you to love me. Wawa told me about vour people, ujpl I like them for her sake." One of the elder lads stepped for­ ward. Through all hix attempts at stoical dignity, nature made itself felt in tho working of his tawny features and the brightness of hix block eyes. “I thank you. Golden Hair, for yonr kind words. I know who you ’are. ’Chucka's Rutliic.’ The sun is yonr father,” pointing to her yellow hair, "and the moon is yonr mother,” point- , ing to her white forehead. "May they make their little girl liapny. ” Colonel Sevier and Lis wife ex­ changed glances of satisfaction. "Rnth will make onr hostagts con­ tented,'* he said, in a low tone. “I am glad. It takes quite a weight off my mind.” “Ruth is well fitted to be a pioneer’s daughter," answered her mother, with a proud xmile. “She is ax fearless ox she is loving. ” The young girl who had thus sud­ denly been adopted into Ruth’s sisterly affection was the daughter of one in­ fluential chief, and the sister of another who afterward became famous, Tecum­ seh. Her name was Menewaulakox-<’. . It was simplified into "Koosie” by Ruth. She had soft, melancholy dark eyes, and block hair which shone like a* pigeon’s breast. Her moccasined feet nod a etsalthy tread as though trained to leave no trail. Ruth's sunny face was a type of her joyous nature. Her light feet scarcely aoemed to touch tne earth, and smiles constantly dimpled her pink cheeks. The Seriera were extensive corn­ growers, and as tbe aurrounding for­ est* afforded rich foraging grounds fcr their herds of xwine, their amplcamokeh onsea were stocked with prime hams and bacon after “pork-killing,” and timir large giai-aries were also full to werdowing. Tiie name of Sevier was axsocistod with deeds of bountiful generosity. No qu- stionx were asked of needr appli­ cant* for help. Be they on tho Tory aide or the American, it mattered not to Mrs. Sevier, provided they were hungry and in distress. Party feeling, however, ran high. ficient officer the Tories hated hia» c >rdiall >, and had laid several plots against his hie.

The woods seemed like a vast plavground. The gnu* waa like green vel­ vet, gloxsy-leaved partridge vines trailed about the roots of gnarled old tree-trunks, their bright red berries glowing like tiny balls of fire amid the soft verdure. "Let us have a game of hide and seek” was the cry after bags and bas­ kets had been filled to repletion; and soon the woods rang with joyous shouts as the young folks engaged' in their fa­ vorite play. Ruth and dark-eyed Kootu’e liad grown into two tall, graceful girls of sixteen; but they were os full of fun and as fond of a frolic as the youngest child in the party, and were the ring­ leaders in the merry chase. But sud­ denly a change came over the scene. A party of soldiers came uiarelring into their midst, their red coats' proclaim­ ing them to Ira Tories. “Run, Koosic,” said Ruth in n whisjrar, “and tell every one you eon find not to let on that father is away from home.” ‘ Then while Ktxixie performed her bidding, Ruth confronted the soldiers. “Halloo, Blue Eyes, where do you hail from ?" was the familiar salutation of the commanding officer. Ruth's heart quaked, but she feigned a confidence she was far from feeling, and tossed back her golden curls with a smile. “We’ve Iraen nutting;” she said, “will you have some?” “Yes. little one. I don’t care if I do,cspccially if you’ll throw a kiss into the bargain.p "You’ll have to take the nuts alone,” the ideal of a soldier’■ wife ns she spoke thus bravely. Her ringing wards dispelled the fears of th? inmates of her household. They felt that she would prove equal to the emergency. Just then a timid knock sounded on the door, and a tall gannt-looking woman came in. She had once been comely, but hardship had hollowed her cheeks and faded her. bloom. Her eyes sought Mrs. Skiers face, onxioualy.' It was Susaa Dykmu “Well, Susan," said Mrs. Scrier, with a kindly nod, “have yon come for bacon and cornmeal I promised yon “No,” answered Susan, hastily. Then' she checked herself; 51 mean yes. -I’ll be much obliged, ma'am." Mrs. Bevier saw by her confused man­ ner thnt she had something on her mind. “Come. y»en, Wore it gets any dark­ er; Hl fill your bag and you can put it before yon on your horse." “I didn’t ride. I walked, and I’m that tired I feel as if Fd drop to pieces." “Then sit for a minute and Ruth'll run and*get y*»u something to e^t.” Ruth needed no second bidding.

While thoroughly versed in forest warfare, and an un­ erring marksman, bn was deficient in book-learning, and had never handled a pen. Colonel Sevier had taken a liking to him, and had invited him to become au inmate of the family. But brought thus into daily intercourse with beautiful Ruth Sevier, his pride rose in arms at finding himself so far her inferior in mental attaint™ nix. Had he been Ism out of conceit with him­ self, he might have seen that Ruth held him in high esteem. His manliness and courage made him seem, to her in­ experienced eyes, as a being inferior only to her father. Ono mqrning^Ruth arose at an un­ usually early hour to attend to some household duty. To her surprise, she found Richard ia the kitchen fast asleep, his curly head resting on an open book, and paper scrawled over with rude attempts at writing lying on the table beside him. .■ She turned to retrqiat, noiselessly, when Richard awoke anff started to has feet, dismay imprinted on every feature of his expressive face. “I’m sorry I have intruded upon you," said Ruth; “I didn’t know you were here." “It’s nn matter,*’ answered Richard, flushing hotly. “You might as well know now as ever what an ignoramus I am. You can't think less of me than I do of myself! It will be no wonder if you do despise me!” “Despise you!" echoed Rnth, wonderingly. “No, Richard, I shall never do that.

As to reading and writing, if you want to dearn. bow, I will teach you. The only trouble is you'll soon outstrip yonr teachar.” ’ Richard was oh pale now as he had been flushed; but his eyes shone with happy light "Thank yon," he said, gravely. “Iwill accept your offer. It is kind of you to make so light of my ignorance. I will try not to be a dull or inattentive scholar. As Ruth had said, it was not very long before her pupil had mastered all her own store of book-knowledge, and while instructing him she herself had become a scholar! She had learned a lesson, new to her, but old as the world itself. Tbe same sweet story that Adam and Eve conned together in the Garden of Eden wax written upon her young heart by the pencil of the master­ limner who delights in leveling all ine­ qualities of station, and in making b youth and maiden join hands at tlu altar of Hvmen. Colonel Verier was well pleared at the turn affairs had token. He had seen the yonng man’s promise from the first, and indorsed Ruth's choice cordially. Did space permit. I would describe the wedding, with its quaint' and enrions guests of all the different na­ tionalities that had been drawn to­ gether in that new country—with its gomes and feasting, and its prolonged festivities. But I can only say that it was tha talk of the country folk for years after, and that the bride and groom were pronounced the handsomest couple that eyes had ever rested upon. Colonel Sevier's judgment of Richard Sparks’ abilities proved a correct one. His name figures conspicuouely in tho early annals of the West. He rose rapidly to Government positions en tailing great trust and responsibility, in all of which his beautiful and de­ voted wife proved the brightest orna­ ment of the social circle in which they moved, as well aii her husband's cheer­ ful, untiring aid and helper in hix on­ erous duties; relieving his hands (which were wore familiar with tbe sword than the Den; from the labor of letter-writ­ ing; and keeping hix accounts, as well as preparing his reports for the super­ vision of his xupsrior officers in the War Department A Coffin on a Pulley. The economy of space in construc­ tion of apartment hoiurax is often a serious inconvenience to tenants. In order to make as many distinct suits of rooms as possible the halls are made so contracted os to be little better than narrow ]>assage-way9, scarcely wide enough to admit a, xmall table. Many of these apartment houses are, there­ fore, provided with hoisting tackle, and all large pieces of furniture arc thus raised or lowered through the win­ dows. A tenant complains of the narrow and tortuous staircase which leads to his apartments on the fourth floor of one of these “economically” built houses on the East Side, and says: “Why, the staircase and halls are so contracted that nearly every piece of my belongings was hoisted through the window, and those that went by the crooked and narrow utaircase were bat­ tered and' marred beyond repair. Bnt the most ghastly experience I ever had, and which was tbe direct result of these narrow halls, was the lowering of a coffin contiining the body of a man who had died on the top’ floor of the building. The stairway was so winding and narrow that when the attempt was made to remove the body in the legiti­ mate wxy it was found impossible to do so without standing it on end.”—-Ven?

A distinctive feature is the shirring'at the shoulders and above the elbows. The bodice has a jacket front, with a ball trimming of silk. The front of the skirt is ben­ galine, with velvet stripes set on, these being very dork gray. The outer skirt is light gray, with darker dote. Tho Irangaline is in gay colors. Please ob­ serve that the outlines of this lady are dtogether possible and comfortable. She doesn’t look like a fashion plate of .he ordinary description. It may be truthfully added that she is fairly rej>resentativo of the stylish members of her sex hereabout in her freedom from tight lacing. Once in a while a human hourglass, with its “sands of life nearly run out," is seen and deprecated, but the preponderant majority of onr women are not hurting their health by compression at the waist. I asked the woman in charge of the corset department in a large dry goods store whether there had been a change in the average size of that article. She replied that with­ in tho seven years of her experience in selling corsets there had been, she es­ timated. about an inch and a half of re­ form. What she meant was that the average corset is an inch and a half bigger now than it was seven years ago. But she doubted if this improve­ ment was a consequence of agitation by professional health reformers. She at­ tributed it rather to a cultivation of artistic sense. Tho rage of sestheticism, with all its exaggeration and ita Oscar Wild comicality, really did in­ struct us to true beauty in shapes and colors. The dyers of fabrics have had to hustle to keep up with the progress of taste in hueq and the designers of costumes ore compelled to exercise far more ingenuity than they used to. All thix advance in good judgment haa car­ ried with it new and better notions as to what is desirable in tho configura­ tion of a woman.

Welldcvelopeil shoulders and widely round­ ed hipx conneetetl by a painfully slight waist do not compose a figure deemed xightiy nowadays. The picture is n fair representation of what our fore­ most belles consider just about the nght sort of thing. The fact may as well Ira disclosed lhat the figure that is approved as a model is that of Mrs. Wm. K. Vander­ bilt, as she appeared one evening at Lenox, that Msaxachuretts resort of New York swells in September. There has for ten or fifteen days been a remarkable gathering of fashionable folks up there in the country. But while much may be written tn admira­ tion of the ladies seen there, the kind­ liest i*n could not ascribe to the young gentlemen anything like corresjranding prniw*. The autumn dudes at Lenox are a curious lot. take them altogether; and although the more pronounced specimens are made to apjraar in the n st of the sketches of tnis article, I b"g to assure tho reader that the por­ traiture is just and accurate stxfar ex it goes. The Linpx dandy, f6r on? peculiar thing, is brushing his mnxtxche violently and frowsily upward at tlie ends. Whether there are so few hairs in his mustache that they could bo couDtod at a glance, or whether it is abundant in material, he industriously bnwhe* it toward the top* nf his ears. The effect is usuoliy <*omica!, and if he takes tbe singular fashion l>ack to town, it ix a question bow -he will be received by tne public. His hat some­ times retains the while figured band of ioxt summer, but the new article for bis head is a cap, with wide, deep visor. Two apeoimens will be found in ihe xketciras below. His whit? flan­ nel suits are different from those of the earlier season in beiug iKirdered with black, suggesting that he lias gone into a mild degree of mourning. He carries a great variety of canes with wonderful heads, and ho searches tinwoods of the neighborhood for natural odd sticks to be mounted and polished to order. But I have put him into this article merely as a fxreial ekment, and to make ouaHhing Kke a dramatic con­ trast with the fair heroines of fashion. The girls have a great deal of fun with enough to deserve it. “Eh?" he hrtsrrujded. “Beg pardon—I meant to say Bo u, dear,” she dem urvly explained. Tbe endearment sweetened the bit­ terness of the >ke and allayed the fellow’s suspicions. There ia no necessity for amount of detailed description as to the costumesof those girls. They represent the ac­ tual apparel of Lenox belles, and are therefore authoritative as examples of correct autumn dressing.

The fair lounger on -* garden seat wan in white India silk, with black and white striped velvet at the bodice, and a black zouave jacket just covering little more than her shoulders. New York belles at Lenox were rer oeiving many of their newly ordered toilets for the various occasions of their stay there. In these new gowns silvergray and green ware the colors oftenest seen, aud there were many dull reda and castor browns, but blue was al­ most entirely absent, and seemed to have fallen into total disfavor. Then* were evidences of a marked revival of black dresses, which had not been in. vogue among extremely stylish women for several years. The new tea gown* THE LEMOX DUDE. were more elabo'rate and gorgeous than, ever, and quite rivaled the dinner and ball dresses as rare confections. The trimmings consisted largely of genuine silver and gold thread and cord pas­ sementeries, enriched often with jewels instead of ordinary crystal beads. Veritable works of art were some of these embellishments. The styles of these gowns, if they were to becomepetrified suddenly, and left to be dis­ covered centuries hence, would puzzle tho antiquarians of tliat day. for all: ages would be represented. Ele­ ments of classic Greek taste would! be discovered alongside modern French and German ideas. The draperies in> the back of both trained and short ■ dresses are full and made slightly bouffant over small pads and two or three steels that arc not permitted to give the balloon-like effect of the past few seasons. There is plainly shown a deference to the wish of the feminine­ mind to return to the plastic, clinging draperies of the classic period of drees. l’iedraperies are nil long; the sashes full and loosely folded once or twice around the waist.. Long fringes of beads, passementerie, and the cloth which composes the dress ore a feature. The cloth fringes are finished with spikes or balls of passementerie, giving a barbaric but beautiful effect to tho new cloth gowns, which are tailor made, but nothing like the tailor gowns of the past. Prominence is now given, to the redingote style of dress, which represents the acme of fashion for all' dressy occasions, and the Directoire redingotes predominate over all other shapes. They will be worn over skirts of plain silk, very little of which is visible, mere glimpses being afforded by the open xfie panels. Flat fronts in pleats from belt to foot or else long draperies that nearly cover the lower skirt are seen on the new dresses.-. The strictly Empire style forbids much, fullness in tho front of the skirt, but it is found more generally becoming to • catch up the front breadths to the belt.

McClern and A. B. Carlton, of the Utah Commission, have filed a minority reKrt with tho Secretary of tho Interior. o Commissioner* **y that in their opin­ ion a great majority of the Mormon people have wisely resolved that too practice ol polygamy ahouid be abandoned. “We arc thoroughly satisfied." say tho Commission­ ers. “that the work of reformation tn Utah Is progressing rapidly, and it will soon re­ sult in a succesaful issue without a resort to legislation that is proscriptive of religious opinion. Our view may be epitomised In a few words: ‘Punish criminal action, but religious creeds nover.' “ Tho commissioner* are averse to any fur­ ther restrictive legislation by CongreM.' be­ lieving that the present lows are sufficiently stringent and will accomplish all that con be reasonably required by leg*) coercion. Tho report recommends the adoption of an amendment to too Federal Constitution prohibiting the institution or practice of polygamy In any form in the States or Ter­ ritories or other place* over which tho United States has exclusive jurisdiction. The commissioners, in conclusion, say: “We have no disposition to defend Mor­ mons against all that ho* been alleged against them, but we believe they are en­ titled to be treated with justice and hu­ manity; that they are not Incorrigible: that they are subject to be influenced by the same causes that have changed anil ameliorated other peoples, churches, and creeds. Wo also bcllcvo they have got common sense, and by the exercise of this valuable attribute they have found out that polygamy must go. We believe that tho great mass of the Mormon people are deter­ mined to go on with this reform and that they will accomplish tho work In spite of any Influence that may bo attempted to be exercised by a few fanatical old polygam­ ists."

Feed regularly three times daily, but never overfeed. Never wash a horse with cold water when he is overheated. On tho farm disj>en8o with shoes, unless the land is very rocky. Water before feeding, but not while the horse is hot from work. Use the whip very little, and never when the animal shies or stumbles. Never leave a horse standing un­ hitched. It is the way to make them runaways. Do not storm and fret. Be quiet and kind, and the horse will be so, too, in most cases. Give the horse a large stall and a good bed at night. It is important that he lie down to rest. If a hone is vicious and unmanage­ able at your business, sell him to some one that can control him. Hay and otlier ground feed is indis­ pensable, mid ground corn or hominy is better than whole corn. A cotton-card is one of tho best in­ struments for grooming a hone. It cleans better than the comb. Do not expect your hone to be equally good at everything. The hone, like the man, must be adapted to hi* work. Near the close of a journey let the horse walk. If covered with sweat rub off with a rag to prevent too sod­ den cooling. Collar galls and l»raises are benefited by washing with salt water. Wash shoulders daily when using the horse. Brine is also good for stiff joint*. When flies are bad wash the hone all over lightly with a weak solution of carbolic acid. If you have not the acid, apply sturgeon oil on the flanks, neck, and tender parts. Wise Sayings of Mrs. Grundy.

I only freely offer you my friendship, aud will try to make the lonely house as pleasant for you as I can.” Gertana’s mother was a noble, true lady, and her daughter inherited some of her womanly nature. Lenora’s quick eye soon saw that Gert ana was not try­ ing to ^pceive her, and such^joy as was that poor little prisoner's, to find a fri«*n<l so near in her hour of need. • She sprang from the easy chair in which idle was sitting, and clasped her little soft arms about Gertana’s neck. "Oh, Madam Girindani, I am so glad you are my friend; heaven has answered my prayer." She still clung lovingly to the kind woman’s nock, and sobbed, as if her lieart would break with joy. “Think you, my fair little friend. I am pleased Unit you accept my friend­ ship. and I shall gladly do for you all that lies within my power.” “Yon are a woman.

She wan content that her plan of right and justice had no far succeeded. Lenora's surprise and joy at having a friend so near nomewhat overcame her weak' Ixxly, for she spon fell asleep and did not awake until late the next morning. That long peaceful sleep seemed to work miracles upon the pale little prisoner, for the next morning she looked like a fair blooming rose. Thai pale, delicate look that marie her very beautiful, but not so attrac­ tive. leu her in that long unbroken In a few days she asked her nnrae if she might go down to dinner with her friend. Of course, her every wish was obeyed, and ahe ajrpeared in the dining hall in a deep pink cashmere, trimmed with loops of ribbon. How lovely and delicate she looked in the suit, just like the first rose of the spring.-almost afraid to venture from ite warm, snug nest, for fear that a lingering chilly breeze may nip ite delicate leaves. * Lenora was not afraid of that chilly bivem-, but of a still worse fate, of a liMik-or a word from the man who hsd *o cruelly wrong-, d bar. Since she had tried to escape, but liad been recaptured by her perse­ cutor, she felt ifiore afraid of him, if possible, than ev< r. “Wha shall 1 do if he i» in the <lfoiug-h til hr -<*h, oh!

Lenora was soon Tajrra sweet sloop, sweet sloop, but Gertana was Mrtlesa. and sleep would not como to her weary, burning eyes. ••Who had called Sylvester away so anddonly? what had he gone for?" continually mug in thu Italians ears. A telegram that would call Sylvester Noll away from Lenora, just when he expected to see hes so soon again, must necessarily be of considerable imr>ortance to him. So this telegram proved. It was sent to Noll, at Chicago, by a man we have met before: by the un­ known, who had so suddenly disap­ pears 3 from Sheriff Williams’ grasp in that beautiful under-ground room at the old log cabin in the woods near Jonesborough. Thanks to Johnny Jones’ skill, Swarthy Jim had not suc­ ceeded in getting the papers cono.wnsing Lenora that were ao necessity to enrich his purse, but he hod lcft'th3 best man of his remaining gang, th j unknown, in charge of the old cabin; bo was also in some way to get the papers that were in the Rice farm llOUAl*. The unknown sasverv skillful at n game of this kjnd, and by assuming a number of different characters he fin­ ally succeeded in gaining the full par­ ticulars of the affairs of the Rice family. He hsd watched closely for two months for an opportunity of raiding the house and getting tha'pap?™. Luckily for h m, one day by chance he heard that the farmer was going with his wife to visit some relatives living at Koalin, nnd were to l>e there four or five days. They hurl thought it safe now to leave thrir home, for they had not sren or heard anything of that band of rob­ bers for so long that it was supposed they had all fled from tho country, or, n# they deserved to be, had been killed. So the unknown, taking advantage of this good chance, stole to the little lone farm house one dark, rainy night during thu farmer's absence. After n long and tedious search, he found the papers in the same little box that they had l>een in when Swarthy Jim <lrop;>ed them at the door of that doomed lonely home. It was indeed lonely now, since the pride and pct of the neighborhood had so mys­ teriously disappeared. The party who bad secured these papers was a partner, or rather one of the memliers of Noll’s gang, who had iiuppotuxl he would get good pay for his long two months* work. If not, he intended to have revenge —to be even with his unscrupulous leader. After the papers were safely concealed in an overcoat pocket the unknown left tbe lone bouse for his, own abode, the beautiful under-ground room of the mysterious log cabin. After laying the papers away in a secure place he put more wood od tho fire, drank a glass of brarnjy, and soon fell asleep. It was aliout noon the next day be­ fore he wakened. His fire was out and he felt hungry. “Ah! Now I must have a little lunch and a good, warm fire, for Jim will soon l>e here.” About dusk of that day, as the un­ known was sitting by the fire, warming his toes and smoking his cigar, Sylves­ ter Noll entered, in the guise of a Jewish peddler, with tho pack on his back, while he looked dingy and sus­ picious enough. “Halloa, old pard, I was looking for you about this time, and here you are, o. k. How do you do, any way ?" "Oh, I tun feeling first-rate; bnt we came Dear losing that plucky little Imauty, after all. Have you got the pBJMTM?” “Yes; you may stake your last dollar that when I say I will do a thing I mean it I told you I would stay here and get those papers for a good fair sum. But, Jim, I am anxious to know what happened up there at old Chi­ cago. Sit down aud tell me all “I will, but I must get back to Chi<5Ogo by to-morrow; you will under­ stand why after you hear what has happened.” Noll then related al! that had hap­ pened since he left Jonesl>orough. “Ah! the girl is a rebellious little minx, isn't she? Is she handsome, Jim?" “Yes, by Joe, pard; the finest I ever “Seems to me, Jim, by the way you -b, to be talk you are fulling in love, eh 'I I am about right: ha!"

It’s a mystery to me how some women can 1m» so foolish.” "Ha, ha; woman's nature, you know." “Well, where are the papers that we have had such a time over ? I am anxious to get started; would not be left for a small farm." ' The unknown handed Jim the papers, bnt said nothing. “That's the very box they were in when I had them in my hands once before. What is your price, my brave fellow?" “Five thousand dollars.” ' “Yon must be crazy ! That sum just to get these’ few papers? O, I fear you must whistle again before you will be able to get that sum from me." Jim hastily put the papers in a deep, inside pocket and drew out from an­ other a large roll of bills apd counted out to tho unknown three hundred dollars. “That is every cent I will give you for getting those papers, and as it is I may be just throwing money away, for it- is more than probable that I may never realize one cent from all this trouble and expense.” As Jim looked up, he saw a dark, threatening look in the unknown's face; it was something rather new. us he hod never seen it before, but he did not take warning. “Is that all the money, Jim, that you are going to give me for all the time and money 1 have tq>ent here in this horrible, ghastly place ?" “Did I uot say that that was everv cent I would pay you? Yes; and as it is, you arc getting good money. I am going to be off now, and I want you to go to Springfield and investigate mat­ ters thoroughly. As soon ns you are ready for the last act wire mo and I will be on hand.” Tho unknown's eyes were flashing fire; the very demon of hatred and roveqge filled his whole soul at the little­ ness of Swarthy Jim. He sprang from the chair in which he sut, and looked straght in the eyes of the man in front of him. “Sylvester Noll—I suppose that is your'right name—1 swear, by all that is good and «-vil, that if yon do not play fair in this game, and not oct so confounded small, that I will l>e even with you. I fortunately have the cards in my own hands this time. I will give you iust three minutes to decide to either give me the five thousand or let it stand just ns it is. Remember, I II wire you at Springfield when I need you, regardless of your decision.” Noll was considerably surprised nt the way in which the unknown fqmkc and acted, but thinking there Wtos noth­ ing in it, more than his accomplice in­ tended, if possible, to get the money by threats, he decided that no man ooulil frighten him, much less this fellow who was in his power. “Ah, ha! My boy, you forget who you are talking to, and you must not forget, that you are in my power. I have said what I Would do concerning this affair, and that settles iL Goodday, sir.” “Very well, go, you small-hearted blackleg. I meant what I mud, and shall act accordingly." It was after nine o’clock in the even­ ing, and a cold fog was rising off the creek. The air was very damp and chilly, and so were all the mvstcrious under­ ground rooms of the old cabin. The once beautiful room vm now terribly gloomv and dcsola'e. for Noll had packed and carried ofl most of the valuults. The unknown sat there for hours in deep thought, entirely regardless ot the late hour or the dampness of the dreary room. The cold wind came wlust.ing dounth j chimney, scatt ring the dead coals and ashes over the hearth. Dork, dangerous thoughts passed through the angry min’s mind; he aa* determined to liave revenge, even if, in the end, it should cost him his life. this moment brea'ho.

For the fiscal year 1887-8 tlw sales of public lands m this country amount­ ed to $11,005,000, compared with $9,000,000 for the year previous, and $5,000,000 for each of the two preced­ ing years. As early os 1856, says the New York Commercial Bulletin, the land sales rose nearly to $9,000,000, but then thev fell off ami went as low as $152,000 iu 1862, and never rose ■hove $4,000,000 again for twenty Jb l«8i’ nearly #H»,<X«O,Oo6. 1 money Til do the work, and you make love to that pretty little fshou’d be avoided as a pestilence.

There are a great many people in this enlightened land, ^and apparently ’'right ones at that,, who ore afflicted itli superstition. Tho “thirteen” myth seems to have a strong hold upon the affections of a great many. The “horae shoe” and numerous other harmless theories have not yet been exploded. If people wish to be de­ luded by them it is of no consequence. They are perfectly Jiarmless. I believe that they do more good than evil. There are a thousand and one other myths which have not yet been buried that ought to have been measured for a coffin loug ago. I shall enumerate a few myths which have grown moldy with age: Strong boarding-house butter. -Ac­ cording' tox scientific authorities, it is now found to*be no butter ut all, but aml>er-eolorrd grease. The obnoxious mother-in-law, All mothers, according to soag and tradi­ tion, are everything that is lovely. Mothers become mothers-in-law through thu fault of their children, and not from malicious intent and aforethought. We come to the logical conclusion therefore that mothers-ip-Iaw, as a rule, are kind and well-behaved. Hence tho willful und recalcitrant mother-in­ law is a myth, which had its origin in the brain of tbe humorist (?). The phenomenal curvo base-ball pitcher is supposed by many to bo noth­ ing but a myth. He is supposed to be able to lose or win a game if he wishes, reganlle s of the skill and phenomenal playing oi tbe opposing nine, or the wishes of the members of his own clnb. The best authorities in base-ball tactics have now discovered that the base-ball pitcher does uot do all of the playing; the rest of the players are supposed to do a little of it. Well-authenticated ghost stories, tbe perenuial snake and fish story, and a great many other wonderful lies, have now, through tho untiring energy of icunoclytii, treaacxposod to the public, am|-irt>own up iu tlhiix true light. There is no tru h in them. THSjsure nothing but myths. I have no more information to give the- public about sujierstitions and myths, bnt I would like to give away a cheap article that I always carry with m >, and do not need myself. It is ad­ vice. It is cheaper than water, and I shall give it away without stint, or mur­ mur. First— Utilize a little of your own ad­ vice, and if you have any left to spare, give it to others who may need it. Sec >nd—If you want to rise from poverty to affluence, follow the dictates of your own common sense and don't buy-* book' to find it out. Third—If you find yourself too awk­ ward aud vulgar to become a society put, become a pugilist. The harder you can hit the more you will be lion­ ized by the dudes aud pelted by the dudines. Fourth—Do not try to defraud your neighbor of his money by means of a quiet game of poker. If you do, your neighbor may quietly draw your own money away from you by the aid of a pokt r made of iron. Sixth—When you wish to economize with a view to saving away a few dol­ lars, do not curtail your necessary ex­ penses, such as wholesome food tmd good clothes, but throw away less money on "schemes," buy less aqua de­ mentia, and strive to diminish the lib­ eral flow of beer. Don’t let your butcher and your grocer suffer by your economy, and don't put on so much style and parade it before an unsympa­ thetic public. The average man will walk a mile out of his way to save a fuw pennies on n cheap purchase, and will “sst ’em up" with his friends to the tune of a few half dollars without a murmur.

A “lick” is a salt-spring. so called by hunters because wild animals resort to it and lick the briny ground. The writer has seen the virfnitv of such springs trodden by the beasts of the forest m hard os a cattle-yard. A. tiingular trait of many wild creatures is that they never seek drink or salt by daylight, instinct seeming to tell them that safety requires such visits to bp made at night.

How­ ever, every family was pro­ vided with arms, and a log fort had been built as u de­ fense in case of need. One day, just at dusk, Robert Page and his son Jim­ mie, an atiiltdic lad of sixtesn, ptsted themselves on n rode Hcaffolding, twenty or thirty feet from the gronnd, in an enormous branching tree within short gunshot of a lick. . From thia perch n clear' view opened toward the lick, whore on moonlight night* the trodden s]>acu wa* distinctly visible. Here they had often concealed themselves to ob­ tain venison for the family, and, having fixed their gims in rest, remained, an .silent u* the trees around nntil the game appeared. , On the night in question, several hours passed -jvhile hunters listened intently for noise* denoting the approach of game. • At last tbe boy's quick ear detected footstep*, Distant and faint at first, I they steadily drew nearer, bnt at the same time they were so heavy and un­ like tho footsteps of wild animals that the listeners were mystified if not alarmed. . ’ •On they came, tramping through the ■ woods, and as they emerged into the moonlight in the vacant ajot near the spring Mr. Page and Jimmie connted a war-party of sixteen Indians. Much to their surprise the red men baited, and building a tire on the hardtrodden gronnd, proceeded to broil venison, roast nuts, and parch corn. .While eating they kept tip an inressaat jabbering, enough of which being understood by Mr. Page to prove that they were on the way to attack the set­ tlement at daybreuk. Of course uj»on the disco vorv of this dreadful purpose Mr. Page and his sun were overwhelmed by their feelings, .for the first house in the settlement was their own, scarcely a mile distant, where Mr*. Page and several children would be easy victims. What altould be done! To descend from their covert and hurry on to give alarm seemed impos­ sible without being heard by the In­ dians. To fire on them would avail nothing, and would not save the settle­ ment from attack. Much low whispering passed between father and son before a decision was reached. Twice they sighted their guns at the Indians, almost resolved to begin the fray at all hazard^ But at length Mr. Page, himself un­ fitted by rheumatism for such an at- dertook the dangerous experiment of descending and flying to alarm the set­ tlement Removing bis heavy home-made hoots and leaving his gun. he began, with tiie stealth of a cat, to make his way to the ground.

Men came armed and stern for the fight; women with tender babes and children, sleepy and half-clothed, us they hud tumbled out of their trundle­ beds. . The plan of defense adopted on this occasion was an ambuscade. All the women and children were committed to tbe block-house, under the care of half a dozen of tho elderly men, while the able-bodied settlers concealed themselves in tho loghouse of'Mr. Ba«a, it being die first likely to be at­ tacked.

There in a woman in New York who has a growing clientele of patients coming to her to be treated for ugli­ ness. They may be in perfect health physically, but not quite at peace in their minds because of defects which render them unpleasing in the eyes of their fellow mortals, and she ministers to this mind diseased by curing, m far m possible, the complaint of plainness. Women go to her to Le made tlunner or stouter, to have their color heightened or reduced, to be treated for ugly com­ plexions, red eyes, thin hair, round shoulders, and all the physical faults which make tho differerue between beauty and the lack of it. To women who are too stont she recommends a bath of salt water in the morning, two or three handfuls of rock salt being put in the bath over night and allowed to dissolve. They must be rubbed down with a heavy Turkish towel after this salt bath, and are to sleep on hard beds, while the only internal treatment she prescribes is Congress water and a grain or two of roosted coffee, to be chewed half an hour l»cfore meals, which will greatly lessen tho appetite for food, tihe suggests a diet of cresses, lettuce, and spinach, with' dessertssof Iceland moss jellies.

The law of 1871 provided that all children of slave mothers should have their free­ dom, though they should still serve m apprentices until they were twenty-one years of age. These apprentices might appeal to the courts for protection in rose they were emelly treated. The law also established an emancipation fund. Meanwhile the Brazilian Gov­ ernment freed all the slave* it owned. The result of the law of 1871 did not content Dom Pedro, who wa* ardently desirous that tho stigma of slaver;should Ih* removed., from hi* empire as quickly ns pomible. By it* slow op­ eration only 27,000 slaves had be -n freed in four years. So, in 1875, another law wm passed, providing for the payment to owners of the adjudged value of their slaves, while all slave* over the age of sixty year* were freed at a stroke. The third law, which wm passed in May of this year, by both Deputies and Senators, and received tho assent of the Princess Isabel, regent, makes the redemption and freedom of all the slaves yet in bondage in the empire im­ mediate.

Taking a vohunn of this kind to my airy suite of hall bedroom and wood­ box, with the keen blade of a butcher­ knife I cut oyt two leaves and left a third all the way through without mar­ ring the general plot of the book. This gave room for pasting excerpts and other literary gems, mpst of which re­ ferred to myself, and prevented that general fullness which would have re­ sulted had I not done so. Whenever a paper referred to no I bought some copies, and having scut one to my dear one, I carefully cut out the excerpt from another copy and past­ ed it by means of some loud and ex­ tremely offensive paste on tho page. Thus I filled at least a whole volume THE CAMPAIGN OEATOR. of the Reports of the Commissioner of Education with paragraphs in which it was stated with more or less tyjx>grapliical inaccuracy that I waa "in town ami quartered at Riley’s Hotel," or that I was “on our streets," or that I “shook hands with friends hero yesterday,” or that I was "attending the quarterly confer­ ence in town," and many other state­ ments which would be invalqable m references in future years. I also hod a much larger book in which I kept the adverse criticisms of the press, para­ graphs in which I was alluded to as the intelligent wart on the editorial page of tho Sawa/raH Commonwealtit, and "the flea-bitten fugitive from jus­ tice who edits the porus piaster acrons the street." Whenever my feelings were wounded I put the item in the large Ixxik and kept it where my chil­ dren could .see it when I should rest from my latars forever. I thought it would teach them humility, and really do them good. The other book I used to keep on the center - table for the use of visitors. If I 1ib*1 a visitor wbo had the habit of putting in a visit or two at a time conversing with me about him­ self I generally risked him to glance over this scrap-’bnok, and wlulo he was doing so I would slip out and take a train for some other point. It is a good plan. . Japanese Philosophy. We are getting to know a good deal of the mysterious empire of Japan. There has appeared in Paris a transla­ tion of a Japanese Manual of philoso­ phy, a little book thj»t is used in all the schools of Japan, and is made as familiar to a Japanese youth as tho catechism is to the boys and girls of this country. It is, in fact, a kind of Japanese “Wjtole Duty of Man." The following sentences may serve as spocimens: Heaven and Earth are the father and mother of all things. Man is the most honorable creature; he is more partic­ ularly tiie son of Heaven and Earth. Therefore ho ought always to worship Heaven and Earth, and to acknowledge by all means the infinite blessings of Heaven and Earth. A child without filial piety will never prosper; much leas man. the sonof Heaven and Earth, if be dues net obey them. In order, to arrive at perfection, we should devote ourselves altogether to our business, like the cat watching th© mouse, or the hen hatching her eggs. True knowledge is that which is ac­ quired in order to govern ourselves, not in order.to be known by the world. Every evening we examine the faults of the day in order to c irrect them to­ morrow ; every day our work pro­ gresses: in a month there will ta the work of thirty days: every year will have 360 complete days; in this man­ ner wo advance in virtue and knowl­ edge, and wo have delights not to bo described. Of all precious things, none is more precious for men than time. Do not rest even while taking breath. After death wo shall rest. How to Send Initials by Telephone. All men who have occasion to tele­ phone names have had great difficulty in making initials understood. B, C, D, E, G, P, T. and V sound so much alike that to distinguish between them is almost impoarible, aud N and M also sound very similar. A system used in the Now Hajven (Conn.) Palladium office for some time past, and with very satisfactory results when the person at the other end of the wire understood it, is to give a word taginning with the letter that is the initial in question. For instance, suppose the nam^7is B. P. Smith. A score or more cf other combinations have almost the same sound, but if tho sender says, "B. I*. Smith; B for butter and P for pepper; B. P. Smith," there is no difficulty in understanding. Vety Suggestive. Mary—The butcher is here, nrn'am; what shall I older? Mrs. Morris Parke-Dear me, I haven’t thought.

BY FLOBESCR B. nALLOW’XLL. “Can’t we have dinner an hour earlier todav, mother? I want to go to tho base­ ball match at Woodville Park." cried HanQ’ Sawyer, bursting into the kitchen where his mother was ironing one warm day in July. "Dinner on hour earlier! You must be crasy, Hany, to ask such a thing! No, indeed, it would be too inconvenient." “But tho match is to begin at 1 o'clock— just our dinner hour—mother, and it would be no fan to got there when the game is half over. Can't you have dinner at-'12 o'clock, just for once? Please do.” "No, I can't." answered ' Mrs. "Sawyer. “It is 10 o'clock now, and to gft dinner ready by 12 I would have to go to work at it at once. Tbe pea* are not even shelled. And soma one would hayo to go to tbe field after voar father, or be would know noth­ ing of the change." “IT shell the peas, mother, and I can go after fether, too." "You couldn't do this ironing, though, and I must finish it up by noon. It would put me out for all day to stop now. I guess it won't hurt you not to see the base-ball match. Harn’ You have too much base­ ball fn your head as it is." “But all tho fellows are going, mother, and they'll think it so strange if I’m not there. But never mind. I'll do without my dinner." “And walk all the way to Woodville Park in thi* hot sun on an empty stomach! No. indeed. You’d be sick in bed. and I'd have you to nurse. And I've enough on me without that, goodness knows." “ Thon give me a sandwich to take with mo.” “I haven't a bit of broad in the house. I'nj going to make biscuita^or dinner." “Haven’t you anything I could eat:' “Not a thing. Don't be so persistent. Harry., Why can't you learn to give up gracefully?" "I think you might horror.' some bread from 31 rs. Wheeling," said Harry, begin­ ning to look sullen. ‘Borrow bread! Wbnt an idea! I never did such a thing in my life. What would Mrs. Wheeling think of me!" “Tom Woodford'* mother is going to have on early dinner." “Come, Horry', you've said enough. Go out now, and let me go on with my work." Harry obeyed, but the look he cast ou hi* mother n* ho left the kitchen was not a pleasant one. He threw himself down ou tbe gra** under a tree, and pulled hi* straw hat over hi* oye«, feeling very miserable and very much abused. He lived in a small, country- settlement, and had few recrea­ tions or aransumeuta. Bose-Indi was hi* hobby, and he was “catcher ’ on the Eagle Nine, a club composed of the Vest ball­ players in the settlement. They played matches with other country clubs and "picked nines" whenever they had a chance, but Harrv had seen only one professional game. It 'wn< not strange he was so anx­ ious to go to Woodville Park to see the great guine to be played between two noted Western clnbs. lie had looked forward to it for days, and talked it over with “the fellows'' until the subject hail beeixzwoni threadbare. It *n* a terrible disappoint­ ment to him not to go. If ho ha-1 not been too old to iudulgv In* emotions without re­ straint. it is protxible bo w ould have /cried; and hi* feelings toward hi* mother were verv bitter. ’ “Everything has to give way to her borriri system." he muttered, angrily. "I’m sick of living by rule." By one of the kitchen windows old Grandma Chance sat knitting, nnd a* Harry left tho room sho laid her work in her lap nnd took off her spectacle*—an unfnilingH-gn that she was about io speak. She was a woman who. low th it old nge hail crept upon her. sohlom Rpoke utibt* ittq»pearefi to.lier absolutely necc**ary. “Harriet." she s-dd, in her slow, deliber­ ate voice, “thirty yov* npo 1 was ns t; ca: a driver with tay work «.* you are. and quite:!* fond, perhaps, of living by a cer­ tain rule ><n>l system; and it seemed to me a dreadful thing if my ironing w^s not all done by Wednesday noon. But I would rather have an early dinner ejenr day for a week than have received onoirach look from your brother George ns Harry g ivo you just now." Mr*. Sawyer looked a little disturliel, nnd her face flushed u* she bent over her ironing-board. But-she made no reply, nnd grnndm.t presently took up her knit­ ting again. When the bell rang for dinner at one o'clock Hnrry came iu with lagging step and took his seat at tho table. He ntc scarcely anything, kept his eve* steadily on hi* plate, and there was a sullen. re*ratfnl look on hi* face. Hi* mother took no notice of his mood, but spoke to him n* usual when occasion dema*.idud. She was not yet quite willing to admit to herstflf that she had aouo wrong. Tbe ironing was done, and after the din­ ner dishes were wauhad and tho kitcheu put in order she went upstair* to put the clothe* away. Then she ilrc**e 1 herself for the afternoon and went down into the yard, car­ rying her mending with her. For three hour- she sat under a tree and darned and patched without pausing a mo­ ment; but her thoughts were not on her work. Her mother * repioof kqit reenrrinj; Jo her in spite of her mo-t paraiatont efforts to forget it, aud she could not avoid asking herself if she had done right in refusing Harry'a reqno*t. Khe had not intended to be either uiikiod or unjust. Sbe loved her children, aud m-ul«t many sacrifice* forthem Hsny complained of a headache when he came in. and would not eat, . “I hope vou’re not going to bo side. Hany, ” said Mr. Sawyer, kindly. "It wouldn’t make any difference to any­ body if I did get sick.” muttered Harry, in a rescutful tone. Mr. Sawyer looked surprise, for ho knew nothing of his son's disappointment of the inorning. But he widely made no comment whatever. That night, after putting little Bell to bed, Mrs. Sawjer went to the window of the child's loom, and stood there for a mo­ ment looking ont oa the garden below. Her thoughts were of Harry, and she felt greatly distressed when she saw him lying on a bench near the gate, his hands over his face. While debating in her mind the propriety and expediency of going to him and con­ fessing that she had in error, the gate opened to admit Harry's special crony. Tom woodford. He went straight to the bench, of course. 'Say. where wore yon this afternoon?" be asked in a loud, cheerful voice. "Wo fel­ lows came to the conclusion you must have got a sun stroke. It was a grand game! I wouldn't have missed it for anything." • "I couldn't go; mother couldn't manage to giva mo an carlj- dinner." said Harry. “Seems to mo she might have worked it if she'd tried hud,“said careless Tom. “Afy mother did." “Well, my mother is different from other mothers. 1 guess." said Harry. "Anyhow. I couldn't get it." Mrs. Sawyer hoard no more, though Tom went on to tell of the features of the great game. She sank down ou a low stool by tho wutffotv and bowed her face in her bands, her'whole frame shaking with emo­ tion. Different from other mothers. Oh, that her boy should have felt piat! That he should be growing up to manhood con­ trasting her unfavorably with the "other mothers" ho know! And it had been tho result of her system, of tboso iron-cost rules that had 'appeared to her so nec­ essary for the maintenance of order and comfort. , She hesitated no longer about going to her boy. When she heard the gate slam and Tom's departing footsteps, she rose at once, and two minutes later she was kneeling by the old bench, her arms about Harry's neck, and sobbing as if her heart would break, while she told him how sotry she was that she had caused him such bit­ ter disappointment. Did Harry respect his mother any the less for her self-abasement? No. ho loved her a thousand fold more dearly for it. They talked together for an hour, and when at length they went into the house at the hour for retiring, tho heart of each won at peace, and Harry had never again occasion to think that his mother was different—except for being better and kinder—than other mothers. Mis. Sawyer hwl learned a lesson, and the profit from it wan great.—Ladies' Home Journal. The manual training-schools in Germany ar© intended especially for the claw of boys who idle away their time before aud after school on tbe street.

At other seasous of the- year the boy* are engaged at various light craft* in work-rooms, such oa tho making of boskets, bruahe* and brooms, aud plain carpentry, where tho n»o of tool* is taught. Ty-pe-sctting and book-binding are taught to the advanced and older classes. Each boy receives a small remuneration for his a oi k when it is'faithfully and obe­ diently performed. The money, however, is not directly paid to him. but is put into a savings bank for him. and from time to time ho receives his certificatesi of deposit. The girls ore taught knitting and all kinds of sowing in tho same systematic manner. Every lesson is mode a class drill.

Shipping opened sluggishl^i the spring, but for the Hat ten weeks mine-owners have been strain­ ing every nerve to gel all the ore that could possibly be produced to lover lake ports. July 1 shipments were several hundred thousand tons loss than at tho same date in 18S7. but since then ore bss been going forward at such a rapid rate that tbe shortage is now only 129,127 tons. Over 3,500,000 torrs have been shifted to date thia year, and nearly . 1,000,000 tons more will follow. The sea­ son, which promised poorly at its open­ ing, is proving one of the beat that the mine-owner* hare had for years. Wages of miners, mechanics and laborers are slightly lower than last year; ore ia selling at a little better price, and lake transpor­ tation charges are lower than last year. Charters for vessels from Two Harbors and Ashland to Cleveland are given at f 1.65, and from Escanaba at $1.35. NouBessemer hematites, for which there was no market at $3.90 in tbe spring, are sell­ ing freely now at $4.50 on the dock at. Cleveland. Mine-owners have ao diffi­ culty iu making sales, but the furnace ' men find trouble in getting enough ore. Tbe directors of the Cleveland Iron Mining Company have called a special meeting, at which tbe ad­ visability of bonding the mines of tbe company for $400,000 will be consid­ ered. There is little doubt that it will be •lone and the money so raised will be used in building a fleet of powerful steam­ ers. with barges for consorts, and this fleet will carry the ore from the company's mines to Cleveland and other Lake Erie ports. There is no question that this will be a money-making operation for the company. Owners of lake vessels hnve made great profits for tho last two years, nnd the Cleveland company can effect a s -.ving of neatly 50 per cent, on the pres­ ent co t of placing their ore at Cleveland The new shaft of the Michigan Gold Mine is still going down a* fast as three miners can sink it (owing to legal compli­ cations only four men can be kept at work on the property), and sugar quartz carry­ ing gold iu quantities varying in value from $10,000 to fti'.i.lKK) per Ion is being taken out daily.

Is this wonderful generation the natural teault of tbe proper diet and medicines of one hundred years ago! It is conceded in other land* that moct of the wonderful discoveries of the world in this century have come from this country. Our ancestors were reared in log cabins and suffered hard­ ships and trial*. But they lived and enjoyed, health to a ripe old age. The women of tho*e day* would endure hardship* without apparent fatigue that would startle those of the present age. Why wa* itT One of tbe proprietors of the popular' remedy known as Warner’s safe cure, has been faithfully investigating the cause, and ha* called to his aid scient­ ist* .-.* well as medical men, impressing upon them tbe fact that there cannot be an effect without a cause. This investigation disclosed tbe fact that in the olden times simple remedies were adminiHtered, compounded of herbs and roots, which were gathered and stored in the loft* of the log cabins, and when sickness camo on, these remedies from nature’s laboratory were used with the best effect*. What were these remedies! What were they used for! After untiring and dilligtnt search they have obtained the formula* so generally used for va­ rious disorders. Now the question is, how will the the olden time preparation affect the people of this age, who have been treat­ ed, under modern medical schools and code*, with poisonous and injurious drag*. This test has been carefully pursued, until they are convinced that tbo preparations they now call Warner's Log Cat>in remedies are what our much abused system* require. Among them is what is known as Warner’s Log Cabin sarsaparilla, and they frankly announce that they do not consider the sarsaparilla of so much . value in itself, a* it i* in the combina­ tion of the various ingredient* which together work marvelously upon tbe Estem.

BY EDWARD S. KLLte. • It would require a long search through the animal kingdom to find an nglier-looking creature than a gprilla. The bravest hunter might well shrink on meeting this frightful ape in the depth* of the African jnnglc, es­ pecially when he know* the gorilla to posse** prodigious strength aud activ­ ity, and to lie absolutely untamable in his ferocity. . The gorilla, when full grown, lack* but two or three inches of six feet in height The skin i* of coal-black col­ or. This, however, makes itself ap­ parent onlv on the face, chest, and palms of the hands, whicli'are uncovcred by the iron-gray hair, two inches long, which envelops the rent of the hotly. The hair is quite dark on the arms, nnd, rather oddly, it grow* upward on the forearm umf downward on the main arm. A look straight in the face xrill startle any one. The small, restless, piercing eyes glitter viciongly from l>eneath the heavy frontal ridge; the enormous moutli, the thin, black lips, without any red on their edge*, the formidable double row of fangs, the crimsoned-lined month, the almost hu­ man ears, the short, wiry hair covering bis head, the flat crown, and tho iron jaws possessing incredible strength. These are some of the characteristics, which, breaking suddenly on the brav«st man. are euongh to cause him to recoil in fright. The resemblance of the gorilla to us human beings is remarkable, though much less (han that of the chimpanzee, which looks indeed os if it were the famed “connecting link.” Besides the ears, the nose resembles that of a man more than that of an a]>e. It lias a projecting nose bone, though -the organ itself is very flat and renul:*ive in shape. Its chest and shouluers are immensely broad; it ho* no neck, and the abdomen is simply tremendous. The arm* reach to the knees, and jkwscss a strength almost incredible. The legs are short, without any calf, the knees are bent at the joints and the back has a forward stoop. It is a singular fact, that when running on all fonra, the hind feet of the gorilla leave no trace of their contact with the ground. Only the ball of the foot and the thumb, answering to our great toe, jMH»m to touch. The hand of the male gorilla is immense. The fingers are short and thick, ’ the middle one at the fixat joint sometime* being more than two inches in diameter. The foot resemble* a huge hand, the middle toe being longer /than the others. Awkward and un• couth as is this extraordinary creature, lit* strength and activity are almost . marvelous The home of the gorilla is in the 'glaornieat depth* of the African jun­ gles. Here are found other formidable animals, so that the savage fellow needs to possess great power to defend himself from their attacks. Tho male _ .-seems to be almoluteiy without fear. He never runs before the approach of rocity toward the native African. He is always ready for a fight, and is nut .afraid ot tbe lion, elephant, or any quadruped that may cross hi* path. My friend, Jarvis Maggiore, one of tho in-st famous of English sports­ men, penetrated tbe gorilla country with two friends, as fon'd of wild hunt­ ing as be. He had shot the lion in the land of the Busbmau and Hottentot, And had come within * hair of l«ing torn to shreds by a royal Bengal tiger in the depths of Hindustan. • Being a man of means, Maggiore de­ nied himself do eqmfortor convenience that money could procure. His com­ panions were equally fortunate iu that xespect. They were well mounted when necessary, had the I^Qst of dogs and •weapons, and procured the moet ex­ perienced and trustworthy guides in The three hunter* were accompanied .by a dusky native, who had led other parties into the country, and who l»ore .Ac rither curious name of Zigzag; ’this had probably been given him by aoaae Englishman, and he had proudly adopted it in preference to his own. Zigzag was au active, athletic fellow, who also carried an ex ire]lent gnn, nnd held the gorilla in more dread than asny other inhabitant of the jungle*. It wa« not until he was promised a verv liberal fee that he " ‘ patiy the trio of Ei into the gorilla country.

"Very well; let u* separate." There were three excellent hunting dog* in the canipaiiy, the best of which belonged to Maggiore. He was called Captain, and wa* a* courageous os any bull dog. The company split in the middle, as may ba *aid.’ Maggiore, Zigzag and the’ dog. Captain, composed one, the other two canine* and their owner* made up the other. The underatanding wa* that all should return nt night­ fall, in accordance with the custom they had followed ever since penetrat­ ing’the country. There must have been some truth in the theory that the party was too largo to pursue the pastime success­ fully, for, lieforo the sun reached the meridian, both companies had more than enough of gorillas. These animals, a* I have raid, fre­ quent the gloomiest depths of the jun­ gle, and it is impressive, even to the bravest hunter, when he stealthily pick* his way though these almost im­ penetrable forests, expecting every mo­ ment to oomo upon one of the terrible monsters who fears him not, and who will attack him with scarcely any hesita­ tion. It lacked yet considerable of noon when Zigzag, who was a few feet in advance of Maggiore, suddenly stop­ ped, raising hi* hand aud inclining his head in a wav which showed he had head something suspicious, though Maggiore-binia elf had detected hotliing. “ What i* it?" asked the Englishman, in a whisper. “I think it is one of them," he an­ swered, meaning a gorilla, Bcfoje Maggiore could check hi* dog the animal shot forward and van­ ished like an arrow from a lx»w. This were close «t hand, he was simply wait­ ing for them to appear, so ra to give him a chance to open the fight. Instead of thumping his chest aud giving out that roar which nprttics all tluU hear it, the creature advanced straight upon the native, without any preliminary demonstration. He wu* prolably *<» infuriated that he could not restxain himself a moment before assailing an enemy. Zigzag knew that when suc^-a-meeting takes place, it is certain death to gorilla or hunter. Planting.\<me foot before the other, he raised- his pin to his shoulder, aimed directly at'the sjx>t which he knew covered the heart of the frightful creature, atfid pulled trigger. He missed! Why he did so can n$ver V® tally explataed. Loss than 'a d«zen yard* separated the native from the gorilla, and it mart have been some unusual cause which interfered witjj his aim. Possibly there was some defect in' the bullet which made it *werve aside, or it may have glanced against some obtruding twig which a breath of air bent across its path st the critical mo­ ment; it mav have been duo to some other cause, for it is certain that Zig­ zag could not have miasol through any fault of hi* own. His bullet nipped the muscular shoulder of the gorilla, who mode a couple of tremendous bounds and then landed directly upon the African. • When the ’ latter saw that he had failed, he mnst have ’ known what it meant. He lowered his piece and be­ gan hastily reloading it He did not attempt to' run, for it was useless, a* indeea it was to seek to defend him­ self in any way. The prodigious bounding of the gorilla ano wed that it waa utterly out of the question for the native to reload in time. As a last desperate resort, therefore. Zigzag seized the gun by tbe barrel and I rought down tho stock with all the strength at hi* command. ‘ It inflicted no more damage titan if it had struck the trunk of s solid oak.

Ho was erect, but hi* walk wa* very awkward, being, in fact, a waddle. “I wonder how it was I kept my self­ possession," said Jarris. in relating the incident to me, “for imagination alone cannot picture the horrible sight. The deep-set eyes glowed like those of □ cobra peering from under a rock; the features were twisted and contorted: the jct-blaok skin wa* wrinkled into all sorts of creases as if it were silk; the thin lip* were drawn up so as to disclose tho long fang* and rise-like jaws which are powerful enough to crush au iron gun-barrel a* though it were an egg­ shell.". But my friend did keep command of his nerves. Ho knew that he had but the single shot, which would be the death of one of the two. With a vague dread, as he reflected on the unaccount­ able fate of his guide, he pointed .his gun at the hairy covering over the heart of the monster. He held his fire fora moment or two, for the gorilla was still advancing slow­ ly and regularly, pounding his chest and giving utterance at intervals to his atrocious roar. Jarvis Maggiore stood until the Croattnre was within thirty feet, when hu Despite the formidable strength and great ferocity of the' gorilla, he is as vulnerable to a buljet as is man him­ self. The Englishman saw that tho savage was beyond the power of inflict­ ing harm, nnd then, as the true hunter always does, hu reloaded his rillo be­ fore stirring from his tracks. Moving forward, he drew a line from his pocket and measured the body of the fallen monster. It was fully five feet nine inches in height, and one of the most terrible of his kind. Maggiore then made as careful an investigation as possible into lhe mat­ ter of Zigzag’s death. The result of his conclusion I have already given in my account of the ]xx>r native’s tak­ ing off. When Maggiore returned to camp at sunset and met his' companions, he gave them a full account of his thrill­ ing experience, and they in turn had n story to tell of how they had brought down a gorilla, which they measured and found kicking scarcely an inch of being as tall as the one he nad slain. The Photograph Anticipated. Among the “Fables" of Feuelon, writ­ ten in 1690, for the education of the Due de Bourgogne, grandsin of Louis XIV., is an interesting narrative called “Voyage Suppose,” and among the mar­ vels of which tbo story is mode up wo read: “There was no painter in all the country, but when they wished the por­ trait of a friend, or a picture represent­ ing some lovely landscape or other ob­ ject. thev put water into large basins of gold and silver, and made this water face the object they wished to paint. Very soon tho water would congeal and become as the face of a mirror, where the image dwelt ineflaceably. This could be carried wherever one pleased, ond gave as faithful a picture as any mirror." The good bishop, when he wrote the above, little thought that the fabulous wonders devised by hi* imag­ ination would so closely resemble the reality of a century or so later. ’ WlMt I»Clajt A common mistake, often made of late in connection with processes of cheapening aluminium, is corrected by Mr. W.

The writers describe clay as alumina, or the oxide aluminium, even a well-established text-book on geology enumerating “alu­ mina or pure clay" among the constit­ uent* of rocks, and au old dictionary of geology stating that “when clay w quite pure and unmixed it ta^termed alumina." But pure clav hast more complex composition. “It is a hydrated silicate of alumina, i. e., a compound of solid water with the oxide of silicon and alumina (whether wet or dry) has the characteristic plastic properties of clay.

These* are details of minor import­ ance to the citizens of to-dav, but not. to the old soldier. , ’ ’ Tho right of our army lying there at ease, guns stacked, cocking and card­ playing going on, thousands of men in blissful ignorance of the calamity that the apathy and blind, willful ignorance of their rup<arioni was precipitating upon them, was startled by a sudden rush of deer and rabbits among them. The enemy and the pickets came to­ gether. Ten thousand of Jackson’s veterans wer? without the least further warning,thrown upon our right. ' The result was certain. A panic in snch a situation is sun* to happen. Soldiers surprised in this way, often without their arms, can do nothing but fly. Regiment after regiment, brigade after brigade, was rolled up, shattered to pieces, dissolved into a disorderly mob. All organization waa for the time, at an end. Tbe euemy swept on with exultant yell, driving everything before them. General Howard, at last convinced that Jackson was at hand, rode hither and thither, trying to rally the fngitivea. But soldiers in such a situation never rally right before on advancing enemy. What could stay this wild panic? What could hold back the charging foe, and save the whole army from the disaster of the night? General P lessonton, riding back with two cavalry regiments from a reconnoisaance, was met by all this terrible rout and war! Instantly he ordered his cavalry to charge tLe fugitives and clear a space. Into this, with his active staff and troops, he collected twenty-two . gun s that were hurrying to the rear, placed them in battery and was making ready to repel the victorious legions of Jack­ son. But their lines were almost upon him; they were bursting from the woods with triumphant yells. Ten minutes—ten precious minutes to load and aim! They miul be had; tho safety of the whole army dejiended upon it,. Pleasonton turned to Major Peter Keenan, of the Eighth Pennsylvania Cavalry, with tho order: ’ “Major, charge the enemy. You must do it at any cost." Four hundred sabers against ten thousand muskets! Keenan well knew what that meant “I’ll do it, General," waa the hero's sole reply. And they did! That devoted little band charged straight upon the advanc­ ing host. They were swallowed up, horses and men shot or bayoneted, but the precious ten minutes ’were saved. Again and again Jackson’s legions charged up to Pleasouton's guns and were lifted ar.d blown by hundreds from their muzzles. The rout waa stopp. d!

It was only in very serious cases they sent for old “saddle-bag” with his physic, which quite as often killed as cured. Later day society has wandered too far away from nature, in every way, jor its own good. Our grandfathers ano grandmothers lived wholesqmer, purer, better, healthier, more natural lives than we do. Their minds were not fill* d with noxiousisma, nor their bod­ ies saturated with poisonous drugs. Is it not time to make a change, to to return to tbe simple vegetable pre­ parations of our grandmothers, which contained the power and potency of nature as remedial agents, and in all ordinary ailments weie efficacious, at least harmless! The proprietors of Warner’s Log Cabin remedies have thought so, and have put on the market a number of these pure vegetable preparations, made from formulas secured after pa­ tient searching into the annals of the past, so that those who want them need not be without them. Among these Log Cabin remedies will be found “Log Cabin sarsaparilla, for the blood; “Log Cabin bops and buebn remedy." a tonic and stomach remedy; “Log cabin cough and con­ sumption remedy,” “Log Cabin hair tonic,” for strengthening and renewing the hair; “Log Cabin extract.” for both external and internal aplication; "Log Cabin liver pills;” “Log Cabin rose cream.” an old but effective remedy for catarrh, and "Log Cabin plasters.” All these) remedies are carefully prepared from recipes which were found after long investigation, to have been those most p ucceaafu.il v used by our grand­ mothers of “ye olden time.” They are the simple, vegetable, efficacious reme­ dies of Log Cabin days. Mire Smith, ot Coldwater, visited them re­ cently. Rev. Goodrich and wife with others made up a load and attended the Ladle* Aid Society at tbe Austin appointment Thursday.

SO LAN BEK. •Missouri, yon aro n coward!” The speaker was a stripling youth, almost a boy, and the words were hiss­ ed out from between closely shut teeth. Missouri was a tall, raw-taned fel­ low, apparently about fifty, whose long, sandy hair and beard showed slight traces Hf gray. He held a pistol in his ’ hand and another was in his belt. A smile had been on his face, but when the word coward reached his ears his features changed for a moment and an angry light shone in his eyes, while his. • huge bony fists closed with something like a snap, as with a threatening ges­ ture he made one hasty step forward. But the next moment ho drew back again j his fingers unclaspcd-themaelves, his face relaxed itself into its usual pleasantness, and there was a aad ring -UJ his voice he saitl: “You came by jour temper honestly, Jim, I"—then he ■checked himself, and as ho stepped forward and handed the pistol to Jim. he continued: “There, take your pop and shoot whenever you yet rtuuly.” Jim took the pistol, aud grasping it By the barrel flung it with oil hia .strength in the face ot Missouri. The attack was unexi>ected, but the -aim waa sure, for the man fell to the Eround as if shot by a bullet, and the lood spurted out of a deep wound jmtt above the temple. "When Missouri fell Jim walked away •without picking up his pistol or turn­ ing to look at his victim. Their alter­ cation, however, had drawn spectators to the scene, and others came from the camp-fire when they saw what had hap­ pened. “I hope Jim finished him for good," vine fellow said. “He was always in­ terfering tatween Jim and some “fine else. I guess if he gets over this he'll mind his own business next time." “But he always looked out for Jim's good," said another. “He waa too stuck on Jim, and Jim -aidn’t like it, and I for one don't blame Jhim,” said a third. “You fellows are most to blame for • this quarrel between Jim and the old . man," said tho second speaker. “You -ware all afraid of Missouri, and kept ■gging Jim on to finish him off for jou.” There were others who said nothing, "but one, more thoughtful than the real, brought a tin cup with water, and dashed it in the face of tho wounded ' The water had the desired effect, for Missouri opened his eyes, and, after looking into the faces of those around Aim, as if ia search of some one, for a moment, he rose to his feet, staggering like a drunken man, and made his way toward his horse, which was staked a little way off, saddled him, and, with­ out saying a word to any one, rode away across the prairie. Jim sat by the fire, his face buried in his hands, but when ho beard the hxwf-bcata of Missouri’s lu»rse, as he rode away, he lifted his head and started to rise, but sat down again, muttering: “I am sorry; but he was always taking my part, au*l the boys .kept teasing me ataut it till I was mad enough to lull him.

Jim rolled his blanket around him ■gain. Half an hour elapsed, his breathing was more regular, hia eyre artxe closed and he was asleep at last. A rider came across the prairie st a trees not far from eamp. where he disasounted aud fastened his horse. Then, taking his course toward the camp on foot, he approacheil slowly and cautfooa’.y, his eyes snd ears on the »b-rt. When he wax close enough to dihtin- "inib. irnlurr. w. Jim waa sleeping, his smooth young face upturned to the stars. Missouri was close beside him, and as he bent his own rough, weather-beaten face close above that of the youth, some­ thing like a sob seemed to force its way over its quivering lips. “Yes, it is beat,” he murmured; “who can tell what/night happen, so it will be best that I tell him now. My God! as he ol/seps thus how like he is to his mother; and in his waking hours the same hasty, fiery nature when thwart­ ed as here used to be. But I must call him before some one comes and finds me here.” So saying, he touched Jim’s hand lightly and called his name in a whis­ per close to his ear. The youth stirred uneosilv. Again his name was called, and Jim opened his eyes and found Missouri's face bending close over him, and he heard his voice hardly above a breath whis­ per, “Hush.” ’ Jim was not startled. Slowly he rose to a sitting position, and in a voice as guarded os Missouri's had been he asked: “What is it, Missouri? What do you want?" “I came back to tell yon something, Jim, before I go away,” *“And you ain’t mail with me?" asked Jim, looking Missouri straight in the face. “No, Jim." . There was a tear that trickled down the hard, weather-beaten check, but Missouri did not know it. Jim, how­ ever, saw the reflection of a glimmer­ ing star in it as it darted out of sight among the gray beard on Missouri’? face, and Jim's voice was more tender than usual when he said: “Forgive me, Missouri; I didn't in­ tend to hurt you, but the devil gets into me occasionally, and I can’t help it." “I know, Jim; but if vou ain’t too sleepy, 1 would like to tell you some­ thing.” “That's what you said before. I be­ lieve." "Yes; pull on your boots, and let’s go a little ways from camp, for I don't wish any one but you tc hear what I am going to tell; nnd some of these fellows may be awoke and listen.” “All right.” Jim was sopn ready, when both left the place nnd were soon out of sight and hearing of the camp.

Individuals of the ape tribe have a nat­ ural tendency to assume a wise and dignified expression of countenance. I can only account for this tendency to wear a dignified look by the fact that a monkey’s mind has never been able to grasp or aemprehend the witty or hu­ morous side of life. The most jMilpablu or transparent humor, so to apeak, is too deep for their comprehension. Bo, not being used to the habit of smiling, their countenances naturally retain a dignified and grave appear­ ance. If an qpe could only be induct'd to comprehend a little of the humorous or ludicrous, he could shake off- that grave aud dignified aspect. He would then appear less stern and forbidding, and more congenial to tho community at large. There are many other ani­ mals who habitually retain a dignified countenance. I will not enumerate them, for their name is legion—or words to that effect. Their principal excuse for being dignified is that they cannot help it; it is natural for them to be so. It is natural for us to suppose, then, that all dignified people are not wise or learned. There is nothing necessary to success in life as much as .a self-confident and dignified ap­ pearance. A young man with plenty of pluck and dignity in make-up will succeed where a shrewder but less .confident aud energetic one will fail. Dignity is, therefore, quite as much a necessity as anything else. Some people are in the habit of con­ tinually wearing a sour, unsympathetic and chilly visage. Nothing seems to be able to disturb their equilibrium or dis­ place their habitual chilliness. A groat many people who are in tho habit of being cheerful aud warm by nature mistake this sourness for dignity, and have, therefore, no idea of what true dignity means. They think tliat dig­ nity means coldness. L«d us be cornest and sincere while attending to buaiurea, and let us find time for smiles and fun occasionally when nature seems to call for it. I have seen persons who were never known to relax their dig­ nity. even on the most mirthful and ludicrous occasions.

Tricks of the Repair Shop. “It is astonishing How mob v. little bits of practical scientific knowledge a youngster picks up when he is learn­ ing his trade,” said a workman in a general repair shop on Third avenue to a New York reporter. “For instance,” he continued, “most people think tho only way to make a hole in gloss is to break it or cut it with a diamond, but it isn't. There are two or three ways of doing it. The neatest, to my mind, is to warm the glass and spread it over with wax. Cut the wax down to the place where you want the hole and drop a little fluoric acid on the glass with a piece of wire. The acid will eat through the glass, and you can shape the,boh) afterward with a copper wireuuld spine rotten stone and oil. • “The handy man in a shop will make many of his own tools. A- whalebone taw is often necessary ip using's fine saw, but manr people don't know how­ to handle whaletane. If it is too stiff, or unequally stiff, it can be scraped down easily with a bit of broken glasa. These bows usually have brass hooks at tbe end, but you can make a hook out of tho whalebone itself by holding the end in boiling oil a short time and bending it around and holding it until it is cool. “Sometimes I have had to make holes in steel that was too hard to cut or file easily. ‘Then I make a mixture that will cat the hole. I mix one ounce of sulphate of conper, quarter of an ounce of alum, naif a teasjxjonful of 'powdered salt, a gill of vinegar, and twenty drops of nitric arid. This will :make the hole, or, if washed off quickly, it will give a beautiful frosted 1 appearance to the metal." 1 ('alignin'* Gratitude and Mercy.

J3together his actions were so odd that I felt some curiosity t<5 learn his history. It turned out that he had been through a rather uncanny experience tho winter before. He and another man had gone into a remote, basin, or inclosed valley, in the heart of the mountains, where game waa very plentiful; indeed, it was so abundant that they decided to pass the winter there. Accordingly they put up a log cabin, working hard, and merely killing enough meat for their immediate use. Just as it was finished, winter set in with tremendous snowstorms. Going out to hunt, in the first lull, they found, to their consternation, that every head of game had left the valley. Not an animal was to be found therein; thev had abandoned it for their winter haunts. The outlook for the two adventurers waa appalling. They were afraid of trying to break out through the deep snow-drifts, and starvation stared them in the face if they stayed. The man that I met hi^l his dog with liiin. 'They put them­ selves on very short commons, so as to use up their hour as slowlv as possible, and hunted unweariedly, but saw noth­ ing. Boon a violent auarrel broke out between them. The other man. a tierce, sullen fellow, insisted thot the ■ dog should ta killed, but the owner was exceedingly attached to it, and re­ fused. For a couple of weeks they ■poke no words to each other, though cooped in tho little narrow pen of logs. Then one night the owner of the dog was wakened bv the animal crying out; the other man had tried to kill it with his knife, but failed. Tho provisions were now almost exhausted, and the two men were glaring at each other with the rage of maddened, raveqing hunger. Neither dared to sleep for fear that the other would kill him. Then the dne who owned the dog at last spoke, and proposed that, to give each a chance for his life, they should separate. He would take half of the handful of flour that waa left and start off to try to get home; the other should stay where he was, and if he tried to follow the first he was warned that he would ta shot without mercy. A like fate was to ta the portion of the wan­ derer if driven to return to the hut. The arrangement was agreed to aud the two men separated, neither daring t > turn his back while thev were within rifle-shot of each other. For two days the one who went off toiled on with weary weakness through the snow­ drifts. Late on the second afternoon, os he looked buck from a high ridge, he saw in the far distance a black speck against the snow, coming along on his trail. His compunion was dogging hi# footsteps. Immediately ho followed his own trail back a little and lay in ambush. At dusk his companion came stealthily up, rifle in* bund, peering cautiously ahead, his drawn face show­ ing the starved, eager ferocity of a wild beast, and the man he was hunting shot him down exactly os if he had been oue. Leaving the body where it fell, the wanderer continued his journey, the dog staggering painfully behind him. The next evening hi* baked his lost cake and divided it with the dog. In the morning, with his belt drawn still tighter around his skeleton body, he once more set out, with apparently only a few hours of dull misery be­ tween him and deatti. At noon ho crossed the track of a huge timber­ wolf; instantly the dog gave tongue, and, rallying its strength, ran along the trail. The man struggled after. At last his strength gave out and he sat down to die; nut while sitting still, slowly stiffening with the cold, he heard tho dog baying iu the woods. Shaking off his mortal numbness, he crawled toward tho sound, and found tho wolf over the body of a deer that he had just killed, and keeping tho dog from it. At the approach of the now assailant the wolf sullenly drew off, and man and dog tore the raw deer­ flesh with hideous eagerness. It made them very aickjor the next twenty-four hours; but, lying by tho carcass for two or three days/ they recovered strength.____________ 'Baby’s Toilet. Every mother knows how difficult it is to clean the baby’s fingernails. By folding some tissue p&per into a sharp ]K)int, and, when using it, calling tho attention of the baby to something else, this simple task can be easily per­ formed. The paper is so soft that it does not hurt the tender flesh, yet it is sufficiently firm to remove every par­ ticle of dirt. My children sometimes cry when taken out of water, but never when they are putin. I think it ia because they have auch a go<xl frolic in the bath that they dislike to leave it. The tub should be but half full of water, and should ta placed on two chairs ui a ■ low iuw stand, suuiu, for there mere is u, danger uanger of oi i or draughts if it is put on the floor. Set I it before an open fire if )>oasible, and see that the baby’s clothes are-warm and well aired before putting tjhe.m on. In winter, when giving a vt4y young infant a bath, it is best to wrap it in a large piece of old flannel, and then put the baby into the water gradually, without removing the flannel until *it has been in the tub for a minute or two. The water should be lukewarm. Alwavs wash the baby’s head, face, mouth, and tongue thoroughly before putting it into the tub, and give it a teaspoonful of cool water to drink. If possible, let the hour for feeding come directly after the bath, and then the baby is ready for the long morning nap. When the child is old enough to sit up in the tub alone, it is always well to let it have some toy to take into the bath, such as a tiny rubber doll or animal, or a liitte wooden or paper boat.—Farmer*' Review. i■arm**.— MtrcKanl Trartler. ,over a bar will find himself >voyage of life on a sea of Ocean. • "It's a cold day when I ge the summer straw hat, as it Mngly ia tho dust on iop a ! ‘Can*t," replied ■ dd.. play t*nnia ' OS ton liulletiiL. without a raa^ "What is their „—„ _ -— mediate gain,” said the miuiater softly to himselL as he J flithaly pocketed Ue ।customary marriage fee.—Sinaerville Journal.

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 in them; and as the only au­ thorized agents of the Grand Rapids Hand-Made Boots and Shoes we are instructed to war­ rant every pair. Superb in fit, they are mod­ els of grace and beauty. Sel­ dom equaled, never excelled, BUEL & WHITE. - ATTORXBT AT LAW, Vermontville, Michigan. TAR C. W.

Only ten days more, however, and poloucs will be relegated to a state of “innocuous desuetude,” or in other words, knocked into a cocked hat. Drs. McLean and Henry, of Detroit, were called to Geo. Dillenbeck'a north of the village, Wednesday, to perform an operation for tumor on Mrs. Dillenbeck. An incision was made for inves­ tigation, when it was discovered that it would be impossible to remove the abnormal growth.

There is no question that Messrs. Putnam A Kelly have by all odds the very beat fence machine in exiatence, and it would undoubtedly be a profit­ able business to engage in. Gentle­ men, dont let this new industry go to some other town for a location when we have first choice. Hon. Jas. O’Donnell, candidate for re­ election to congress from this district, and P. T. Colgrove, candidate for state senator, spoke apon the political issues, from a republican point of view, at the opera house Monday night. The hall was crowded, and the two eloquent addresses were attentively listened to. At the finish a home-made campaign song by Albert Barnum, of Woodland, added much to the hilarity of the meeting. The Battle Creek Journal of this week says that the grading on the new St. Louis, Sturgis & Battle Creek rail­ road between that city and Athens, is nearly completed, and between Athens and Sturgis has so far progressed that it will be ready for the steel rails as soon as the track is laid on this part of the route. It is now expected that tracklaying will begin about next Mon­ day and will be pushed rapidly. The right of way for the road has been ob­ tained from Danville, Ill., to Bay City, in this state.

The Court allowed that she had all the logic on her side. The etymology of the word honey­ moon is thus given by a good authority: “Among the northern nations of Europe there was an ancient practice of newly married couples to drink metheglin or mead, a kind of wine made from honey (hydromel) for thirty days after mar­ riage. Hence the term honeymontk or honeymoon. Atilla, the Hun, drank so much mead at his wedding feast the Red Sea." The largest man in the Massachu­ setts Legislature for many years was •Hod.

OB8 of hair is not nvorely an injury to looks; it is a serious damage to the general comfort of the body. The locks are s neces­ sary protection to the skull and scalp, and as­ sist in equalizing the temperature ot the brain,* blood, and en­ tire system. Thin hair ly fqjr neuralgia of the , especially with open -------- -DVdy climate. Neurid-I gia quickly inducM gruyness and affects the sight Nature^ penalties for neg­ lect are various and interlinked. Thin­ haired persons often have weak .eyes, but aeldom connect the two conditions. The hair ought to be thick on the fore­ head and wsved or crisped enough to afford a slight shade to the eyes, with­ out falling low, which interferes with the sight and gives an idiotic expres­ sion. The flat, well-brnshed bands of hair in front, drawn strictly sway from the parting are certain to cause thin­ ning on the temples and.at the parting. All flat- and very smooth styles of hair­ dressing injure its growth more or less, by drawing it closely to keep it in good order. Hair can not lie too easily or loosely for its own well-being and that of the nerves of the head. This matter of hair-dressing will have to be strictly inquired into in behalf of our nervous, highly sensitive women. Anything like ’ pressure, heat, or strain about the head inflicts injury on the brain and the finest parts of the nervous system. The drag­ ging of the hair by the roots in Spanish and Parisian-Chinese coiffures not only pulls it out in time, but irri­ tates the nerves of the temples. When _ drawn up tightly behind, the glands of the neck have been known to swell in ugly fashion. Wrong hair-dressing ag­ gravates spinal malady as truly as weighty skirts do. The Psyche knot, so pretty for the very few who know how to wear it, probably ruined the hair of Grecian women as" it does our own, if twiste:! at all tight, aud a Psycho knot or “massive ood" does immense mischief bv heating the base of the i bruin and the sensitive top of the spine. Women only notice the effect by the relief it is in headache, or when tired out, of "letting one's hair down.” But those with any pronounced s; inal ail­ ment find the sensation of a knot of hair on the top of tho head or at the buck unbearable as the tournure of hair at the base of the s;*ine. The ponipatlour coiffure is :>a e if open work rolls are tw»*d to support the front hair. The chatelaine braids suspended from the crowa are bad whenever they drag or heat the back of the head. The high coiffure piled on the top of the head heats and presws on a very sensi­ tive spot, which is one of the first to grow thin and bald. These criticisms arc not captious fault-finding, but the opinion of lib­ eral doctors and hair-dr.-ssers who are artists ns well as tradesmen. The ver­ dict of artists and physicians alike is that the natural anil safe way of wear­ ing th? hair is flowing naturally in waves, curls, or long hanging braids in the Russian fashion, by which the weight falls equally on all sides. Yn;ing girls should wear their hair free aud curling, tied by a riblmn or light fillet, or in braids, as long as decorum will tolerate. Women should wear curls tied back in the pretty fashion of twenty years ago, or in the hanging braid at home, nn'd abroad the braid loop-, d in Cadogan style, or wound coronet wise around the head. With this easy, artistic, and natural style of head-dress a host of potty, maladies would be relieved, and half the headaches disappear. The in­ evitable result would be increased care of the hair, hince no meager growth would bo tolerable in such simplicity. As the nature of the hair is to grow, un­ der all fxtssible conditions, and with good care its average growth is from five to thirteen inches a year, it would be ths work of two or three seasons only to provide most women with as handsome a chevelure as they would desire. It is a matter of pride with the favored to show their hair down to the knee, and braids thick oh an arm, or curls to the waist; but as a matter of fact and experience one would prefer some other woman to wear them. These magnificent, phe­ nomenal heads of hair are immense, unending trouble to dress, to cava for and keep tolerable, even if one sits all day combing it like the Sutherland sisters, or lives like a mermaid, with a comb and a glass in her hand. The women who let down their cloaks of hair to the floor l>efore admiring friends have a life of toil to care for these ex­ hibition tresses. You can't wear hair like that, flowing, to get stepped on, and the work of putting it up every day would reconcile any woman to frizettes and a pug in a week’s time. No; a very good standard of hair is just long enough to wind around the head when braided and thick enough to look well hanging straight K Turkish Lamplighter.

I do not know how much of this sit­ uation G.'D Tai Doubleday saw person­ ally. Thus*- who" luul an opportunity ty s *e it an I did will alwt^s remember it ns one of the most critical and alarm­ ing situations of the war. Circumnt.inces at that time made ma acquaintni with sonic details that never went into history, to give which is the ob­ ject of this sketch. There is in my possession a brief written order Jrom General Hooker, made on the left bank of the river to hfa generals on the other bank, which, with the greatest difficulty, I succeeded in conveying across by signals that memorable night. I will ten now it came to be given. It was toward evening that the lay­ ing of the pontoons was completed, or supposed to be completed. The'oommanding General, hfa staff and escort had come o\er. As signal officer at­ tached to headquarters, I was with them. The Uppey Rappahannock is a deep but usually not a wide stream. The laying of the pontoons, when not un­ der tire, was no difficult job, as had been often lielore proved. But the “sudden rfae" of tho river referred to changed the situation. The stream was widtenea by the flood of water com­ ing down from the mountains after the spring rains, and was swollen to. a torrenL The bridges were swaying about, carried down by the force of the cuirjut, leaving wide gaps between their ends and this side. They were just us useless for the crossing of a single soldier or a single gun as no bridge a» all would have been. ' The night cams on, dark as pitch; but while there was still light enough to see across I had obsened the spec­ tacle on the other shore that caused all of us to shudder with apprehension. The retreating army was crowding down to the water. Of course we only saw the advance divisions; but the whole were near at hand. In some places the troops looked all huddled together, their officers, no doubt, sup­ posing that the crossing could be eommenccd in a few minutes. The thirty-two guru* posted on the heights beyond, and the rear guard, under General Meade, were all well enough; but think what might * have happened that night had Gen­ eral Lee learned of this situation. It was plain enough to me that an army cooped up as ours was there by the river was in no shape to fight, and that a sudden and resolute attack might have resulted in such a disaster as that unlucky campaign had not yet given us. Hooker had his headquarter* at Mrs. Barton's house. I hod established my­ self and my assistants near by, at what was known os the “Cheatnut-tree Sta- F r'vwemake the followM ting interesting ex­ BL. tract: Krjh Beyond us. in n tow ■V/valley (near AppamntBlL tox Court House, alter tny flank movement). ■ lay Lee and tho rem­ nant ot his army. There did not kppeur to be much organization, except in the ad­ vanced troop* under General Gordon, whom we had been fighting, and a rear-guard un­ der General Longstreet still further up the vnilay.

Custer. tilled with excitement, hat Ln hand, dashed tip to me with the meseage from hia chief: "Lee has surrendered. Do not charge: the white flag is up!" Or­ ders were given to complete the formation, but not to charge. Looking to the left, to Appomattox Court­ house. a large group was seen near by the line* of Confederate troops that hud lallcn ba.-k to that point. General Custer hud not come back, and. supposing that he was with the group at the courthouse. I moved on a gallop down the narrow ridge, followed t>y my staff. The courthouse was. perhaps, t!.rec-fourthsof a mile distant. W< gone for before a heavy fire was opened on us from a skirt of timber to our right, and distant not much over 3U0 yard*. I halted for n moment and. taking off my hat. tMUfod out that the flag was being violated, but could not stop the tiring, which caused us to take shelter in a ravine running parallel to the bridge wo ware on. and down which we then traveled. As we approached tho court­ house a gentle ascent had to be made. 1 was in advimce. followed by a tergesnt carrying my battlcflug. WUbln 100 to 150 yards from the courthouse and Confederate lines some of the men in their ranks brought their guns to aim on us. und great effort was made by their officurs to keep them from flring. I halted. and. hear­ ing some noise behind, turned in» the saddle and saw a Confederate soldier at­ tempting to take my battleflug from the color-bearer. This the*Sergeant hnd no idea of submitting to’.’ and hnd drawn his saber to cut the man down. A word from me caused him to return hi* saber and take the flag back to the staff offiwr*. who were some little distance behind. I rtnxUned stationary after these events: then, calling a stuff officer, directed him to go over to th« group of Confederate officers und demand what such conduct meant. Kind apologies were made, and we advanced. The superior officers met were General J. B. Gurdon and General Cadmus M. Wilcox, the latter an old army officer. An soon as the first greet­ ing was over, a furious firing began in front of our own cavalry, from whom we had only a few minutes Mfurv separated. Gen­ eral Gordon seemed to be somewhat discon­ certed by 1L I remarked to him. "General Gordon, your men tired on mu us I was eoiuffig over hero, and undoubtedly thoy have done ths same to Merritt's and Gustos'*, commands. We migM just as well let them tight it out." To this proposition General Gordon did not accede. I then asked. "Why not send a staff officer and have your people cease firing? They are violating the flog!" He said. "I have no staff officer to send." I replied. "I will tot vou have one of mine." and calling for Lieutenant Vanderbilt Alton he was directed to report to General Gor­ don and carry hfa orders. The orders were to go to General Geary, who was in com­ mand of a small brigade of South Carolina cavalry, aud ask him to discontinue the firing. Lieutenant Allen dashed off with the measagB. but on delivering U to General he bad left it on that moiucatou* dsr.

If a mother does not lay aside her courtesy with her company dress, if a father is as refined in speech when the door has closed after the guest as he was when they convened together, the child will learn to be habitually polite and modest. For gjod manners are bet­ ter taught by example than by precept. r The woman who wrote the “Practical Thoughts of a Mother." says that she has often noticed that girls who have grown up in retirement and simplicity have shown, when placed in the great world, such elegant tact and behavior as to astonish high-born ladies. “Where has the little one learned it?" ; exclaims one of them. “She behaves like a que*n; and my daughter, who has been educated in Paris, only just look at her! there she stands and turns her bask to that lady; how improper!" The mother does not reflect that the daughter hai been taught many rules of behavior, but setains very few. Bat "tho little one” ha« imbibed courtesy with the air of her home. Her mother has taught her few rules of politeness, but I ai sot on example of high-bred courtesy. The girl ha< acquired so un­ consciously the art of polite behavior tliat she feels what is and what is not “g.xjd form." In her home she has never known a word, n look, an act that differs from the acts, wordi and looks used in polite society. When she first stepped from her father's house into an assembly room where well-bred people hod gath­ ered, she simply trans ’.'erred herself to a brger but not different sphere. Her requests are entreaties, favors are returned by thanks, but little ac'.s of service are "done quietly as » matter of courso. and a spirit of kindm ss and consider alien is associated with all she says and does, because her father and mothe rwere kind, polite, considerate at home. If her mother said anything to her daughter as she was leaving the house to go to her first party, it was simply, “Behave just as if yon were at hom&" But no mother can bo thus laconic, in whes-» home good l>ehavior and tact are not associati d with the every-day life of the family.— Youth's Compan­ ion.

The humble guage. Th© time was when most every family and their kindrod had a dialect of their own. Their language and tone of voice was handed down from some rude ancestor and spread around among the children to the third and fourth generation; there was a whole settlement in Gwinnett County who said “wall" for well, “yaaa" for yes, and added eh to every break in their sen­ tences. “Ho told me eh that he waa a-gwine to town eh, and I axed him eh to bring us some coffee, eh.” There was another very numerous family who inclosed their sentences with “so it . was,” or “so he did," or “so I will" “I have bought me a oow, so I have, and I gave fifteen dollars for her, so I did." There are still people living among the liilhs Of North Geo ria who say you’uns and we'uns, but they are growing few and old.

The telegram which was sent by the unknown to Captain Hutchinson at Leadville, Colo., was answered in the affirmative, and ou the stated date the men were closely closeted in a room in oue of the hotels iu Lincoln, Neb. “Well. Tan, what is this very irajiortaut matter that you have had the cheek to call me here to meet you for?" “Ah, Hall, I thought you were al­ ways the man on hand for a haul." "Well, so I am: and now out with the whole affair." “All right; yon know who I have been with since I last saw you?” "Yes. Jim tbe Desperate.” “Just so; and now he has played tho little on me and I intend to be even.” Tlie unknown then related in full everything eonccniing this strange affair, with which we are already ac­ quainted. "Ah, ha! Ton. yon have Jim in a tight bbx indi'etl. He played me a small game once, about five years ago, and now I will cAiicel that old debt when 1 have a good chance. “Yon say the girl shall not Ixs hurt nor swindled out of her money?" “Yes, I said so, und that must be part of the bargain." “All right. A mon must be con­ foundedly small when he will attempt to cheat a poor, helpless, innocent woman." “That ft the truth. Hall. I had not thought of it just that way Iwfore, but as sure aa thunder und lightning that ft the chief point in the game that Jim ft trying to play." “So much the worse for him. I am right with you. And now for out; plans of action." "1 had thought it best to work it in something of this manner, in order not to compromise ourselves. About the last of this month we intended to make a haul on the First National Bank of Springfield. Illinois. I was to go there from Jonesboro, and investigate, get everything ready to just step in and get the money, and then I waa to wire for Jim. The boodle was to be divided l»etween us, niyl I suppose I wonld get about one-eighth, while he would have the rest. I told him I would wire him when I w.is ready for him, and so I will. I like to see fair plav, even in this kind of work, but when he ft too smart for that he must look out for number one, and then take the conse­ quences. I intend to go back to Spring­ field, look the matter up, and on the nightj expect Jim I will give the po­ lice a key to the plan. Of course yots mav lx) amured that I shall be careful to lie out or sight if they should want me." “That will work all right so far; but how will w*e manage about the girl and that Italian woman tliat he has there?" "Well, now, that's just the thing— that is just what I want you to see to, and if vou do us I say there vi!l lie no harm done to any oue but the man who deserves it ” “All right, partner; I am willing to agree to anything you suggest that ft anywhere near fair and won’t com­ promise me ton nroah. “Yon will get into no trouble what­ ever." "All right; I am willing then.” "I will return to Springfield, and you go with me. We will investigate matters there a little, und then you go to Chicago to watch Jim's house;'watch it cloeely and get everything ready for the final act. ' ' "Now, about that iovelv fanner girl. What do you intend to do with her? Remeinlxsr, she must have those paper* that belong to her, and you know where her home was.

I will see what ha has to ^L’he unknown held a letter in hft hand addressed to Stephen Douglass, Esq., Springfield, III., Box 859.

Of course, we detectives never’ cuter into full particulars us to how we know of these things; but nevertheless yon know we do. and I want you to be sure and be on time and ready to enter the back door of the bank nt one o'clock the morning of December 1." “Ven- well; I will be there and se­ cure the man.

There are two beautiful girls in Chicago at Jim’s home whom he has very much wronged, and one is kept there as his prisoner. I have sent a party on to, the rity to release the girl and let her go to her home. Now. what I want is thia: That after the trial you take this man back to Chicago and to hia own home. He will want to go, for, of course, he will wont to see the girls. Those girls will not 1x3 there, and his home will lie forsaken; of course yon will have to go with him. and after you get him there, convince him that that beautiful young girl that he was going to force into a marriage with him ft now entirely out of hft power. Will you and can you do this. Captain?" “Yes, I will do it, but that is a little out of our line. No matter, though, it ft worth a good deal to have such a prisoner in our power." “Very well, sir, that ft all I want. Good-night.” .. And the unknown left the office to return to the hotel, knowing that most of hft work was done. CHAPTER XIII. The morning of November 30th dawned dear and crisp. All who hail l»een at the party hail been dreaming of Lenora's beautiful face, und the sweet songs she luul sung. The master of the cottage was awakened from his sleeping dream of his daily thought, the little jirftoner, by a sharp, quick knock on hft door. “Hallo, what’s wanting?” “A meosage for yon. master. ” “Very well, bring it in. Henry.” The message was the much-lookedfor telegram that ordered him to Springfield immediately. He glanced at his watch and saw that it waa nine o’clock. “Henry, order me some breakfast immediately, and go and tell your mistress that I would like to wo her in the library at a quarter post ten. ” The lireakfnst was ordered and the message delivered to Lenora's maid. "She is not well this morning, Henry, and has slept but very little all night I do not know whether she will be able to go down or uot this morning, but I will tell her wlyn she awakes.* Gertana had heard Henry come up the stairs and wrap on Lenora's door. She stepped to the door of her o» n room tliat than stood slightly ajar, and heard what Henry had Haid.' "Yes, Sylvester Noll, you want her to go to the library, that’ von may tor­ meet her still more. Very well; I will be and ready to go down to her biding place at the ajqxriuted time, but the weary little prisoner vv still asleep, . Aa she had slept »o little dnriug tlio night, her maid wonld not awaken her, I so it was long paal the time before that| gentle, timid tap wm heard on the door' that Noll was so impatiently waiting for. It was then almost time for him to start to the train, but he wm determined to see Lenora Wore he went As he heard Lenora’s gentle tap at the door he instantly opened it and reached out his arms as if to draw her gentle, shrinking form to hft bosom, but she steppe*] back out of hft reach. “Good-morning. Miss Lenora. I waa afraid that you were going to disap­ point me. Have a chair; I want to talk to you a few momenta.” But Lenora would not sit down, and stood up against tho wall while her great, dark, beautiful ryes stared him directly in the face. “I hod no jjartieular reason to de­ cline your request for an interview, but you are aware that your presence is very repugnant to me, andT wish to repeat Again, that whatever may hap­ pen, I ahall never retract my first state­ ment. ’NG; you may kill me, but I shall bo firm while I breathe.” Her face was radiant with an angry flush m she turned to leave tho room. “Hold! my beauty. Yon are par­ tially mistaken; you cannot get out of that door, for it ft locked. Be seated, I have considerable to say to you, and it is tiresome standing.” "Don’t you dare come near me. I positively’ refuse to accept that chair while you are in this room." She had stopped back in one corner as far as she could; the wall only pre­ vented her from fleeing, she cared not where. "Miss Churchill, have you not pun­ ished me enough by your aversion against me? God only* knows how hard it ft for me to keep from drawing you to my heart, and holding you there for­ ever. The very sight of you makes me wild. Oh, Lenora, for heaven’s sake, don't look at me like that. You will kill me or set me crazy. “Do pity me a little—do have a little mercy on me I If yon will only consent to Ixs my wife in the future, to love me a little, I will be content, and the hapEiest man in the world. Don't you see am burning up with the fever’of love that you have sent through' every vein in my body? Yon looked so l»eautifu) last night, and this morning bo fair; oh, never-never did any one see such loveliness. Can't you, in your heart of hearts, have a little pity bn mv misery?” An he ceased speaking Lis lovely features were drawn with pain. He was a muster at controlling hft feelings ex­ cept in the {iresence of this girl. He knew that he hod no power over her, and that now, since he could not per­ suade her to Imj his wife, his only re­ course was stratagem or force. Lenora «tood looking at him without a shadow of pity crossing her face. When Noll ceasvtl speaking, she replied: "You have no one to blame for your misery but yourself, Mr. Noll. 'You understand, I do not consider you a gentleman, and any rational person who knew how you have stolen me away from all my happiness and imprisoned me here, when I ‘prefer death to your presence, wonld know you were acting wrong, und not the part of a gentle­ man. I entreat yon to oct thoughtfully and right. I wrote to my uncle some time sgo to come for me, und when h? does you shall be properly punished; but now redeem yourself a little iu the estimation of those who really know yon, by letting me go-by giving me my freedom. “O, precious freedom, I pray you to give me, sir, ami let me go back to those who really love me." ’ "Ha, ha! Vour home, you fair temptress; your homo is here, the only one you now have, and I aiu tho only one who rightly loves yon. For your own sake you had best yield and be mine. I will take you away from all this—away off, iu fiiir, beautiful lands, whore you shall want for nothing that money can bnv. O, yield, I beg of you, for this is 'your’lsst chance. I will give yon just three minutes to say yes or no, and then, if it be no, I shall place you in a little cell, just oil' my room, and yoji shall be kept th. re under lock and key until I return, when I shall carry you off, as I brought yon here. Now, remember, juat tliree minutes.” And he drew out his watch to count the minutes. One minute hail gone, and Lenora stood pressed against the wall, trembling, and as pale as death, while her parched, pale lips were mov­ ing in prayer to heiven for protection. Two minntes had gone, and yet no help came to the little sufferer; three minutes, and the time wm up. Noll closed his watch, and the little click of the spring startled Lenora. He looked at her with a cold, strange gaze, hb if he knew that her answer would not be what he wanted. “What ft your answer?'’ “No; never." Just then Henry opened the door of the library. / “Master, here ft a letter for tho mis­ tress ; she isn’t in her room, and, too. it is time to start if you want to catch that train. The carriage ft waiting at the gate.” Lenora quickly sprang to Henry’i aide, despite the weakness of her body. Her little remaining strength was re­ newed by the hope that aid would soon reach her in her hour of greatest trial. (TO » COXTIMUKD.? Xitpara Kalb Li".

Three new dances got the indorsement of the recent Daucing-niaxtern’ Con­ vention in New York, nnd a* they are not particularly demonstrative or revo­ lutionary they'will undoubtedly come into immediate uso among modish people. On© of these is the glide Rutzourka, which is a partial revival of an old round dance combining the polka and the waltz. In its new form it has more of a waltz movement than before. The general effect is graceful, and the long, sliding step is sightly, unless it is practicecTtoo earelesMlr an an over-poushed floor, such an some of our ball-rooms present Several of the freshly smoothed and waxed floors mude ready for the Wister's dancing are as alipperv as ice, and the glide mazonrka would seem Io lie almost im­ practicable thereon. The other new round dance is called the Berlin, and it is very ingenious, since its slow, graceful polka time can be used at will for a gallop, waltz or a schottisdie. The awkward sight of a couple waltz­ ing to polka music has of late years been too common. Many couples are either unable or unwilling to accom­ plish a polka, and to them the BerliD will be welcome, while it will also be serviceable to those who like a polka. The other noveltv devised by the dancing-masters is the diamond lancers, the figures of which are more intricate and showy than any of the fanciful <|uadrilles yet introduced for amateurs. It is happy news and trustworthy that for at least one more season the dancing will not be impeded and en­ dangered by (rains.

The silk fabrics employed in such toilets are of the finest and richest qualities, as well ss wonderful in vgnetr. The now arniure-roval silks arc in all the new colors of the season in plain and brocaded patterns of the new artistic designs produced this season. The most delicate shades of gold colors, pale-red greens and reseda tints, pear white, and the new rose called jus de cerise, are in stately flower patterns in antique effect and in solid color in peau de soie and satin, and in stripes with allorer pattern, in brocades which unite all these fabrics, and in a medley of rare colors in oue goods. The most elegant gowns are made in some modi­ fication of the Directoire style. The lines of drapery, when there are any, are from the waipt in classic ef­ fect. Hanging scarfs and straight effects, which add to the height of the figure, are always aimed at in these garments. Full ruches of feathers in fluffy Inarabout-like band* are extensively used on Directoire gowns. The heavy matelagse goods, velvets and heavy brocatelle eflccts in brocaded silks are made up in Direc­ toire styles, over skirts of cashmere, embroidered wool, or plain heavy silk or velvet| The silk petticoats of even­ ing dresses, with broegded bodices and trains, are frequently covered with a succession of lace flounces, and jabots of wide lace are placed down the sides of dresses where the train meets the petti­ coat and wide falls of lace finish the sleeve and neck.

Tho heads of three ball-room belles Srtrayed are so young and handsome it a conventionally fashionable style of hair-dressing looks well on them. But what are ugly women to do? To vouDg girls whose natural crown cf beauty is abundant, hairdressing is a comparatively unimportant toilet de­ tail, but when one is reduced to chant lugubriously with Lady Jane, in “Pa­ tience, ” that “spreading is the parting straight,” and to “wreathe her wrink­ led brow with well-saved combings,” the hairdresser's art is of the first im­ portance. That is the reason why so many of our rich matrons employ an expert to arrange their hair for all havg this dona often enough to learn how to repeat it with their own hands. It is ■wonderful what can be done by a clever artist in producing coiffures exactly suitable to ia- pearance went, 'niton the manner in which their hair was dressed. Of one this candid critic Raid: “To see her before tbe glass a siting for me to ope­ rate was a truly unpleasant sight; but when her maid and I hod fixed her up, she was a redoubtable rival for no mat­ ter what beauty. .The satisfaction she felt on seeing hsraelf tramdonned lighted her up, callsd all her perversity into play, and made her agog for man­ slaughter.

A plain style of hair would not have drawn the eye from the face or tickled it into good-humor, and grotesnueness would have been ruin. I. had to be very eccentric, and yet knew exactly where to draw the line." After tins who would denv the thrall of the coiffeur, or his claim to his cherished title of artist? Women in the cities, will do without, all other luxuries, and many comforts, for the sake of promenading in a seal­ skin sacque or cloak and with glister­ ing diamonds hanging to her oars. Those things represent the aspiration of the great majority in the matter of , dress. It is for that very reason that our moneyed and more exclusive belles will this winter abjure fur, for the sake of being separate from the msss of good dressers, and will take to equally costly but more perishable wraps, made of fabrics and in styles which will last only one winter. ’ In that way they Cublish the fact that they can afford to­ ny an expensive outer garment every season, and need not resort to furs, which can be continued through a number of years. The picture shows two of these perishable) cloaks, made of velvet in ornate shapes, and trimmed with loco and feathers. Garments similar to these will be foremost in the winter regard of our wealthier women. Open sleeves are attached to them, and they are quite fashionable on most of the winter mantles. That such foolish and comfortless shapes should have been introduced for garments presum­ ably worn to keep out the cold is as­ tonishing, but not so much so as that women have been ridiculous enough to encourage the fashion. This season the mantle-makers have made the loose flowing sleeves on all their best shapes, and there is, tlierefore, every possibili­ ty that bronchitis, coughs, and conges­ tions will be unusually prevalent. A mantle-maker to whom I spoke on the subject acknowledged that these sleeves were tho most uncomfortable ever introduced, but that in spite of K ANOTHER. this they were likely to be more worn' than ever this season. Surely some kind of warm nnderaleeve might be ar­ ranged which would protect the wearer and still not interfere with the stylo of the garment—Chicago Ledger. Faitbion Small Talk.

Tho gravity of the- Metropolitan’s act In declaring a dissolution ot Queen Natalie's marriage will bo appreciated throughout tin* world. No such ecclesiastical procedure has been recorded since Napoleon's divorce from Josephine. It is hardly four months since Queen Nntnlie wrote thus to the Metropolitan, who is absolute head of the Servian Ohureh: "The King writes to me saying that he has taken steps to secure a divorce. Neither tho canon nor the civil law *permlto divorce without real causes. Not knowing of any in our case. I. for my pait. shall never con­ sent to it. I trust in God's justice." The Metropolitan did not deign to reply. So tiie Queen telegraphed: "The journals to-night Drotcnd that I am divorced. Kindly Inform me how a divorce can bo pronounced while I. Queen Natalie, one of the interested parties, have not re­ ceived any citation whatever. Up to foe prbsent day I have not a single paper about it* Tfofi Metropolitan briefly replied: ‘His Emiiu-nee the Bishop ot Nlsch will present you with a reply to your telegram."

Do not forget that at your age tho hour cannot be far off when you must appear before our Sovereign Judge, and do not burden your soul with another sin." To this the Metropolitan replied: The demand for a divorce has Deen pre­ sented to tho Bynod. the competent au­ thority of the independent autocephalous Servian Church." And tho Queen sent her last despairing message: ■■ The Holy Synod not being qualified to concern Itself with divorce. I protest en­ ergetically against this iniquity and ille­ gality. " These letters will go into history. They trace every step in the conspiracy between King Mlluu ot Servin and the Metropolitan Theodosius. The third party to the plot was M. Cristitch. President of tho Council, who in the following words announced the forthcoming divorce to tho Queen: "I have the honor to Inform your Majesty that his Majesty, our august master, has deigned to communicate to his Council of Ministers the step which ho has th ought well to take." And when Natalie, with a cry of anguish, called Jor hoc son. Cristitch replied: "I have the honor to Inform your Majesty that his Majesty tho King has confided to (»en.

Governor of Now Mexico, in his'annual report, says that tho questions of the settlement of tho land grant titles, water storage, and irrigation precede, in their importance to the development and future welfare of the Territory, every other topic of an economic character that could bo suggested. Of tho land grants ho says that, compared with tho aggregate acreage of tho Territory, the area of these grants is not latge* but it comprises iernral thousand holdings. These grants are confined mainly to valleys where water is acceasiblo for Irrigation, and are often located in the vicinity of towns and railways where the land is the most valua­ ble in the Territory. The greater portion of those claimed grants, ho says, are but lily defined os to exterior boundaries, and in the increasing pressure of settlement tho unoccupied portions are liable to be settled upon and endless and serious frictions ensue which will become more serious from year to year, so long ns legislation for settlement is delayed. Ho says it is to a degree unsafe, even now. to go on the public lands In some sections und make improvements, for fear of conflict with some real or pretended grant. Tho Governor says that of tho 79.000.000 acres, the area of tho Territory. 60,000.000. may be classed us tillable with proper irrigation. Ho says that the facilities of the Territory for storing water are unsur­ passed. and that the present system of in­ dependent ditching must be abandoned, and that the Territorial Government must assume jurisdiction of tho water supply and its distribution. The aggregate value of foe taxable prop­ erty In the Territory is given as $43,151.94). Of this amount $15370.960 is on live stock. S7.466.W9 on lands, and $633ti.35O on houses and improvement*.

BY JAMES FRANKLIN FITT3. on the evening of September 17. 1862, General McClellan could have advanced his army and dis­ persed that of the _ _ enemy, or have pi^S^^cauHfHl them to sur­ render, is still an jOpen question, but with the probabili­ ties largely inclining to the affirmative. There are some things that are beyond dispute about that campaign, and* be­ fore relating my own experience at the headquarters of the commanding Gen­ eral after the battle, it may be useful to state what those things are. I think it is lieyond dispute tliat the Confeder­ ate army was ho largely reduced, by straggling on its march from the field of the Second Manassas to Frederick, that it was largely inferior to oura; that it was poorly clothed and shod; that it lost ten thousand in killed and wounded at Antietam; and, Baying nothing about tho mistakes of our Generals in that battle, that it was in no condition to renew the fight the next morning, or even to withstand a vigor­ ous attack. Genoral Lee knew this perfectly well, and therefore he with­ drew with haito. He must have ex­ pected to be pressed, for his army crossed at Shepherdstown on tho 18th. On the other hand tho Union army was al»out as disorganized as any-victorious anny can be, losing twelve thousand in killed and wounded, and stragglers in­ numerable. Still, it largely outnum­ bered the enemy; it had a reserve; it was left in possession of the field, and at least the name of victory in this, •which was and continued to lie, the greatest aingle-day battle of the war. and I have no doubt in saying that a general advance, pushed with determination on the morn­ ing of tho 18th, must have de­ stroyed Lee’s army lietween Antietam Creek and the Potomac. This is the opinion of a great many survivors of that campaign, and I believe it the cor­ rect one. But that was early in the war, and things were not done then as they were two years later. McClellan thought, or pretended to think, that the administration waa unfriendly to him, ’.hat he had only been placed in command for the purpose of saving Washington, and that he had no authori­ ty to advance. It reads queer now, after some of the later successes of tbe war and the jiowers that were assumed by commanding Generals; but he has sincerely asserted this and we must be­ lieve that he thought so. But it is hard to read, as I have elsewhere re­ marked, that all thia enormous slaugh­ ter went for nothing—unless it won to encourage the President to issue his proclamation freeing the slaves. The golden opportunity pkssed. the army of General Lee, torn and disorganized, eroased the Potomac without molesta- more. When the enemy over, safe on the other aide, and with time Mime detachments of cavalry and in­ fantry were sent across the ford, and were of course repulsed and driven into the river. This was two days after the battle. Some of this I saw v.»nco signal station I saw a whole brigade of our cavalry go over, disap­ pear in the woods, and quickly reap­ pear flving in disorder, “every man for himself and the devil for the hind­ most." It was no fault of theirs; they ws# that they cnemT. The infantry detachments an the high ground easterly of thought I was wounded and cm the day after the battle’ I wm out in Croat, olMcrving and signaling back to headquarters. Shepherdstown, whore the enemy croased, is only eight miles from । Sharpsburg. I saw their regiments, i or parts of regiments, artillery. wagonH, everything, gettinc over. I saw it a good ways off, ana from the top of a church steeple; but there could be no dispute about the fact I saw also that it was a very slow job; indeed, what tpldicr who has ever tried it does not know that the fording of a river is always slow, and that such a crossing by’as few as ten thou­ sand men is always a tedious opera­ tion ? And I suppose that not less than thrice that number crossed at Shepherdstown after Antietam. I saw so much of this kind of thing th it I thought the situation ought to be reported personally and urgently ot headquarters. It seemed to mo then that the larger port of the Confederate army was safe in Virginia. And I saw plainly that our artillery and infantry were in such positions and so near that it only needed the word of authority to capture what was left on the Maryland side. Should that word be spoken ? Why not? I was yonng and enthusiastic and had an idea that the war ought to lx> prosecuted in earnest. So I mounted my horse and rode back to Sharpsburg. I found McClellan’s headquarters at another brick house in the village. I did not see the General, but I saw General R. B. Marcy, his father-in-law and chief-o!-staff. The latter was an elderly man, sedate and rather severe in appearance; but he listened atten­ tively to all I had to say. I did not think that the intelligence gave him much surprise. While we were talking a young and dashing officer in cavalry dr&w came in. He exchanged a few words with Gen­ eral Marcy and I heard the latter a»y to him: "Colonel Kilpatrick, here is the sig­ nal-officer, from the front. You had better talk with him yourself.” That was so early in the war that there was no “General" Kilpatrick. I explained to the Colonel what I had seen. “I’ll go out there with my cavalry,” he eagerly said, “and capture them.” “Excuse me, Colonel," I put in, “but I don’t believe you’ll be quick enough to capture a man.” “Don’t repeat that remark, young man," General Marcy said, with a se­ vere frown. I got the idea at once that my opinions were not wanted. Kilpat­ rick laughed. However, the General sent me back to my church-steeple to report further, and gave me half a company of order­ lies to bring in my dispatches. I do not think that Colonel Kilpatrick was permitted to charge the retreating en­ emy. I got to my steeple again, watched the crossing, penciled notes of it and dropped them down to the order­ lies, and Lee s army vanished. J’ta No Butterfly. REVERENT) com­ rade of the Third Indians Cavalry, well beloved by 4he boys, tells the fol­ lowing story on a New York regiment: It was one of the city swell regiments, and to the dumpiest little private in the rear rank, all were alike togged out in broad-brimmed hats, high feathers, yellow stripes down the legs of their pants, brass shoulder pieces, etc.>aand to the Western boys, who were in camp across the river from Washing­ ton when the “darlings” made their appearance, they were a sight to be­ hold. By general consent everybody gave them the name of “Butterfly Regiment.” They were assigned to camp duty at Fredericksburg, Vo., with just enough Johnnies in the neighborhood to re­ quire a sharp lookout for chance shots. There was one spot near the edge of asmall ravine where six “butterflies" had been missing when the relief came around, and it was almost impossible to find any more men who would stand guard’there. Just at this time the Third Indiana Cavalry was returned Ao camp to re­ cruit up a little, and the “Butterfly Regiment" was relieved and Bent to the front. In making the rounds with a relief guard of the Third Cavalry, the officer of the guard of the “Butterfly" troops went around also to give the “new hands" some pointers, and when they reached the dangerous place referred to urged extreme caution, for they had “lost six good men at this spot ” * The new officer called one of the relief guards and said: “Charlie, this is a bad post, they say, and I know if anybody can hold it you can, and I want you to try it.” V An hour later a gun waa fired in the ^neighborhood of Charlie's beat, and the officer made haste to see what was the matter. There was Charlie, pacing his beat m unconcerned us yon please, and by the side of a small sapling near the edge of the ravine, about four rods off, waa a dead rebel. “What’s ths matter, Charlie?" “Nothin’, now. ” “Who killed tbe reb?" “I guess I did." “How did it happen?” “Why, I heard a little noise, and when I looked there he stood pointin’ his gun, and aaid, ‘Surrender you ------- Yank;' ami I said, ‘Go to hell, I’m no ------butterfly/ an' that's all"—A m er icon Tribune. ________ ter Philipfii. but were halted by a picket at tho bridge spanning the river.

A sentinel down toward the river near some storehouses shivered as he strode to and fro on his post, his gun­ lock under hia arm to keep off the wet. He was a raw recruit from “down East,"^ent out to help fill the ranks of a regiment which had lost onedialf its men since the campaign began. He saw a man in a regulation over­ coat and with a slouch hat, but with the steady carriage of a veteran, passing along a few rods away, and he called out to him: “Say, friend, have yer any terbacker in yer clothes?"

When our regiment went to the front in Kentucky, late in the fall of 1862, we had not yet learned the art of war as we were taught later on, and among our primitive customs or habits was one we had brought with us of build­ ing our beds or bunks above the ground. As the weather grew cold, one by one, or pair by pair, began to build their beds upon the ground. At length the officcia began to throw aside their nice little cote which looked so soft and comfortable to those who had 'built their bunks of hard boards Among the first to throw away his cot was Major Broaddus, which Private Underhill, of Company K, immediately seized upon uh an old-time luxury," remark­ ing, “Now I'll enjoy a comfortable night's rest once more." Major Broad­ dus told him he thought he wouldn't find it so comfortable os he imagined, unless the weather changed. Tho next morning Broaddus asked Underhill how he had slept. Underhill, with some enthusiasm, replied: “Major, keep shady; my fortune’s made. If ever I live to get home again, I am going into tho dairy business, and I am going to provide myself with a lot of these darn cote to set pans of milk on, for if there is anything in the world that will keep them cool it will be these cots."

Perhaps some mother whose children are still in babyhood, with its exhaust­ ing demands on her strength and time and patience, may take courage to know that I find it easier all the way up. With a heart full of love for little children, etill I do think they are ex­ acting, selfish tyrants, if their mothers foster or allow their natural propensity to tyrannize. Big boys and girls, 6 and 8 years old, demand to be amused, when yon «*•* need to husband your strength to give them necessary food and clothing. For the baby, whoso age is counted by months, and for the ailing little shut-ins or fretful convalescents, we can always find ready sympathy and an inexhaustible fund of patience on which to draw, dovising new wavs to amuse and quiet them. But when healthy children, 5 years old and upward, drag and whine about me for "something to do," I have learned to give them a task, not always to their minds, but suited to their strength and age, and require them to do it. When such a task i» done, usually liberty and. leisure have Income so sweet to them that they can find amusement for themselves, or are easily started on a new tack for having a good time without depending ou me to keep the ball rolling. The task may be to dust the furni­ ture of the rcotn in which you are sit­ ting, or to fill the wood-boxes and chip­ baskets, or to wind the balls and spools of your mending-boskets neatly, smooth­ ing and rolling its tumbled pieces, put­ ting the basket in desirable order—al­ most any task that will occupy idle hands and peevish thoughts, thereby routing mischievous meddling and cross, whining complaints, and yet not be too hard or exacting for the easily discouraged*little ones. Work is healthy for us a’L What miserable, flabby, bored individuals we are without occupation of any kind. And the children need their tasks junt os much as we, to help them appreciate play hours, that with fresh zest and in­ terest they may turn to the very games that, without such work Iwing required of them, would be only fruitful source* of discord.—Ladies’ Home Journal.

By comparing this with tbe present section S, article six, of the State consti­ tution, the exact changes it makes can be noted. THE EARTH DRYING UP. There is abundant evidence that the amount of water on the surface of the^ earth has been steadily diminishing for many thousands of years. No one doubts that there wm a time when tbe Caspian Sea communicated with the Black Sea, and when the Mediterran­ ean covered the greater part of the Desert of Sahara. In fact, geologists tell us that at one period the whole of the earth wm covered by water, and tbe fact that continents of dry land now exist is proof that there is less water on our globe now than there was in its infancy.* This dimunition of our supply of water is going on at tbe pres­ ent st a rate so rapid m to be clearly appreciable. The rivers and smaller streams of the Atlantic states are visi­ bly smaller than they were twenty-five years ago. Country brooks in which men now living were accustomed to fish and bathe in their boyhood have in many cases totally disappeared, not through any act of man, but solely io consequence of the failure of the springs and rains which once fed them. Tbe level of the great lakes is falling year by year. There are many piers of lake-side cities which vessels once ap­ proached with ease, but which now hardly reach the edge of tbe water. HarliorB are everywhere growing shal­ lower. This is not due to the gradual deposit of earth brought down by riv­ ers or of refuse from city sewers. The harbor of Toronto has grown shallow in spite of tbe fact that it has been dredged out so that the bottom r^ck ha* l-wn reached, and all the dredging whK-h can be done to the harbor of N< w York will not permanently deep­ en it. The growing shallowness of the Hncsob is more evident above Albany than It is in the tide-water region, a»d. like the outlet of lake CiunnplaiD. which was occe navigable by Indian care* • at all seasons, tbe upper Hud­ son is now’ almost bare of water in many p’aces during tbe summer. In a!) other parts of tbe world there is the r? -r. , -dy decrease of water in rivers ard and the rainfall in Europe, where *cicatiflc observations are made, is manifsstly lean than it wm at a pen or* ? h.ji wean’s memory.

Aside from this, however, the subject is one of antiquarian interest, for pottery of one kind or another ante­ dates all history, and there never was a time known, so far as records of any c W 1 CHINESE AND JAPANESE PIECES. WHITE VASE DECORATED. the wares of Majorca. Famous pot­ teries have existed in Franco, Spain, Italy and Germany for many centuries past. In .the East, porcelain of supe­ rior quality has been employed from time immemorial. In West Asia Damascus was the cen­ ter of the trade and manufacture of porcelain, and the Damascene goods weqe famous both in Asia and in Europe for their elegance of form and for the taste and skill with which they were colored. Bottles, bowls, dishes, tiles, lamps and a hundred more ar­ ticles of ornament and use came from the furnaces of Damascus in almost endless profusion, and for a time it seemed as if the abundance of the.wares would render them valueless by making them too cheap. But china is so ex­ ceedingly fragile that only time is needed to correct such an evil as abundance, and little by little the. Damascus pottery disappeared, until now it is quite as high-priced as most of Hie early Italian wares. There is oue ]»eculiaritv concerning the Damascus and Moorish pottery—its lack of any representation of tho human face or form, or that of anv living creature whatever; as the Sfohum- kind attest, when mankind did not have pottery. There is a marked difference l>otween pottery and porcelain. Tho for­ mer is composed of coarse day, glazed with some substance entirely foreign an£ distinct from itself; the latter is made of materials that readily combine ■with those used in tho glaze, and so the body of the piece and the glaze are practically one and indivisible—the two arc fused together. The ancients had pottery, properly speaking; the moderns have porcelain. But although there was this difference of the glaze, the ancient glazes did not differ so greatly as might be supposed from those of modern times; their blues and greens were of compounils of copper, their violet was gold, their vellow was ■silver, their white was salt of tin, while they used lead, cobalt, and other ma­ terials well known to modern pot­ teries. first dated works which were copies of paintings'; bnt the Faience artists did not confine themselves to these, bnt turned their attention also to depicting LIMOGES EWER. current scenes, and from the pictures on the Faience porcelain, antiquarians have learned no little concerning cos­ tumes, weapons, houses and furniture of Italy during the lost four centuries. Nor did they even stop here, for por­ trait painting was also included in the list of their accomplishments, and the faces of not a few Italian notables have come down to us as preserved by the heat of the Faenza furnaces. Just now there is a fashion for Chi­ nese porcelains, and. in view of their incomprehensible color, it must be said that this fashion has a much bet­ ter reason for its existence than many, other crazes which have ‘come and LION AND KING VASE. medan religion, like that of the Jews, was very rigid in forbidding likenesses or any representations of living crea­ tures, and the artists of Damascus were forced to confine themselves . to fruits, fiowers, and landscapes. Of curved pottery the Italians, Span­ iards and Moors have given us the ex­ amples. The Moors - were fond o5 making plaques with raised edges, a vine being traced as a border, with fruits, leaves and tepdfils complete, the delicacy of the carving being equaled only by the charm of its coloring. For a long time, in the infancy of art, the makers of pottery and jiorcelain did not mark their wares in such a way as to indicate either the potter or the date of the piece, but of the early dated pieces the most famous are those which came from the Siena furnaces, and the most noted name is that of Gubbio. This potter was particularly celebrated for his ruby colors, his shades of green and blue. Like all potters of his time, he kept his eonqiositions a profound secret, and it is curious that chemical analysis, while it may determine the exact proportions of metals employed in a glaze, throws comparatively little light on the subject after all, because a glaze to lie effective dejieuds not only on the material employed, but also up­ DELFT VASE. on the firing, for a good composition l Lead glazing was very common may be spoiled by too much or too little heat, by an exposure too long or too among the early potteries. The name Majolica was derived from short. So. while ue may know exactly Majorca, an island which formerly had what Gubbio used, modern potters have very extensive pottervs* which turned had to do a groat deal of ©xperimentout" exceedingly valuable work.

The Chinese pieces are of every size, from a very small vase to an urn six or seven feet in height, and are of form as various as the size, the elegance of some of the pieces chal­ lenging comparison even with the most celebrated work of antiquity. The Chinese artists were, however, noted for their preference for modest tints, nor anvwhere fr. their work ap­ pear those glaring hues seen in the products of the European furnaces. They are also famous for the innumer­ able varieties of their colors. In red, for example, connoisseurs have deter­ mined fifteen to sixteen different tints, quite as many of blue and green, and even of white and black there are sev­ eral varieties, as the ivory white, the cream white, tho snow white, the milk white, the jet black, brown black, pur­ ple black and red black, while the tints of brown and other colors are endless; and besides these, they have tints not Io be compared to anything but objects in nature. The Chinese have been famous pot­ t ery makers from before the time of Charlemagne, and when Europeans were fighting with bows and arrows and eating off of brown pottery plates, when they used plates at all, the Chi­ nese were shooting one onother v ith guns and taking their meals off the exquisite white porcelain which has HOW TO BE BEAlTIFUla ever sine* gone by th ir name.

It may be interesting to know what is considered standard for the size or weight of eggs of the different varieties of domestic fowls. Light Brahma and Partridge Cochin eggs, seven to the pound; they lay, according to treatment and food*, from 80 to 100 per annum, sometimes more if kept well; Dark Brahmas, eight to the pound, and about seventy per annum; Black, White and Buff Cochins; eight to the pound, and 100 is a large yield; Plymouth Rocks, eight to the pound, and’ lay 100 per annum; Houdan, eight to the pound, and lay /150 per annum, being non-setters; La Fleche. seven to tho pound, and pro­ duce 150 per annum; Black Spanish, seven to tbe pound, and lay 150 per an­ num ; Dominiques, nine to the pound, and lay 130 per annum; game fowl, nine to the pound, and lay 130 per an­ num; Crevas, seven to the pound, and 150 per annum; Leghorns, nine to the pound, and from 150 to 200 per annum; Hamburgs, nine to the pound, and 170 l>er annum; Polish, nine to the pound, and 150 per annum: Bantams, sixteen to the. pound, and sixty per annum; turkeys lay from thirty to sixty eggs per annum, weighing about five to the ]>ound; ducks' eggs vary greatly with the different species, but range from five to six to the pound; geese, four to the pound, and twenty per annum; guinea fowls, eleven to the pound, and lay sixty per annum. The aliuve are only approximate figures; care in breed­ ing and management of fioeb differs so widely that results will vary very much, but it is certain that the size of the eggs and the fecundity of our domestic fowls has greatly increased in tho last tliirty years. *_____________ A new device has Irnen introduced for the German army. It is a cloak cut and finished in such's way that two of the garments together may be convert­ ed into a tent, the supporters for which accompany the cloaks. scalp and atrophy, but it is not consid­ ered their place to say that the cause of innervation, eczema, ’and paralysis of the skin is want of needed cleanli­ ness. Think what state the face would be in if it were . washed only once in six weeks or longer; and imagine the condition of the scalp with its thou­ sands of oil glands and its hairy growth to detain nil the abounding dust. The wonder is not that people lose their hair, but that they have any to lose. The cause of much baldness and thin­ ning of the heir is the choking of the bulbs by neglect. The next potent causes are dry, overheated air of rooms, which destroys the vitality of every­ thing in reach, withers bloom, draws tho skin into wrinkles, and dries the hair by the roots—and also nervous dyspepsia, which denies nutrition to the entire system, including tho hair. Those causes, want of care nnd clean­ liness, dry heat, and indigestion, lie at the root of poor hair. Wearing hats or bonnets frequently or long at a time is an unsuspected cause of grayness and falling loeks. Custom shbuld be amended to allow woman to remove linnets wherever possible—on long journeys, in heated concert-rooms, theaters, and public galleries. The “library headache," familiar to women who spend, much time studying in pub­ lic libraries in senseless habit with their bonnets on, is speedily destruct­ ive to the hair as well as the nerves. Tho unnecessary heat and pressure on the brain while reading is most mis­ chievous. Women in class-rooms and reading-rooms should lay aside their head-gear, if only for a half hour. The harm done by going about hours and days with a bonnet on, shopping or vis­ iting, is the cause, doubtless, of much falling of the hair which the owner is at a loss to account for. But hair must be carefully cultivated to grow even in length, supple, silken, and graceful in color. Everything is encouraging for the improvement of hair, if time can be given it. The same treatment will not do for different kinds of hair, by any means—strong, stiff, naturally moist hair needs a weekly shsitypooing and daily and nightly brushing, with exposure' to the morning and evening sun, which is a great stimulant to the hair. Thin, soft, dry hair needs tender care, but with either the''first step toward improve­ ment is through washing of the scalp and hair, which collects dust its entire length. To cleanse it the various alkalis, borax, ammonia, carbonate of potash, and washing soda are used, and the strong hair will bear them, but they burn the life out of thin, dry hair. Most hair washes are used en­ tirely too strong. Soap bark is better thau anything I know, except the shampoo powder of "the fatal sisters” which leaves the hair luxuriously silky, instead of flying like thistledown. Pour two quarts of boiling water on a tea­ spoonful of soap bark, let it cool till pleaaant, comb the hair smoothly from the face, part it and scrub down the parting with the shampoo brush like an exaggerated tooth-brush, wetting the skin well with the decoction. It lathers well, and tho whole he^ti should be gone over, making twenty or more partings, the hair rinsed in’plenty of clear waler, combed and wiped smooth­ ly, not rubbing it ferociously and tangling it, which breaks it The Venetian ladies drew their hair through a crownless hat and lot it stream over tho brim to dry, and you may follow the example, sitting in ’the sun, if pos­ sible, an hour. Light is a great stimu­ lant and preservative to, hair, and it is well to open it when drv and let the wiud blow through. The sun will cause the natural cal of the hair to flow—or the head may be hold to the fire till the dry hair feels moist. A smart brushing night and morning, careful braiding before sleep, and an hour spent once a month clipping all forked ends, will insure a rapid growth of hair, if the general health is good, without other treatment. If you want a stimulant at night rub a little oil of lavender in the roots of the hair with the shampoo brush. Do not irritate the scrip by hard brnahing. Regular care is better than overdoing. The annual consumption of featheni in this country is 3,000,000 pounds.

I said that for a good, cigar I would be ■willing to Ioan mv nam •, but, on a pocir on-, no price could be set, or words- to that effect. ... I am now constantly receiving letters from people in whose love and favor I felt secure, but who have since smoked some of those cigar.'*, and now assure me that if they can be ol any use to Satan by carrying in wood, coat ke» sene, tnrp*-ntine, and other inflamma­ ble materials to prejmre a welcome for me in the future, they are ready and willing to do so. . From all over the Union word is coming ever and anon in relation ta these cigars. Judging by the tone of these letters I conclude that the cigars are of <n inferior quality. L therefore, desire'to caution the public against using them to excess, and also to state that the cigars are not prejmred.by me, but atei distance from my Slosh at Slippcryelmhurirt. For this, reason it fre­ quently liajipens that trits of wire, rub­ ber. Madura overalls and other foreign sulistances are introduced into their manufacture. That is not all The first edition of the weeds was not so bad. Crazed by snccMS, the manufacturer has lowered the standard of excellence, and others have adopted the name, in order to ob­ tain speedy wealth at the expense of quality. ’ So it has come to pass that there is now abroad in tho land bearing my ef­ fulgent name a npecies of cigar which is to all intents and purposes a stench in the nostrils of the peopleI know that tobacco hi a filthy weed and does much harm in the world, but that is no reason why a cigar manufac­ turer should seek to carry oh his busi­ ness without using it. We can hardly hope to abolish tobacco by making cigars from an inferior grade of flannel. I have steadily oppoaed all classes of frauds and imitations all my life, Even when my eyes wore first open to the wonderful truth that nobody had ever known a goat to die a natural death aud that mutton continued to be plenty even after sheep had disappeared, I went to mv butcher und told him that tho square, open way was the best way, and I feel that way yet. To show the reader how I have lost caste among my friends because my name is attached to a cigar that is in bud odor. I give below a few letters from those who once respected me: Eufaula. Ala. Mr. bye. N«w. York : Drau Sir—1 bavo been a reader of your nieces in tbe papers for many years, and nave certainly been grvuily benefited by them, but you hurt yourself when you went to making rignn*. 1 bought u box ut tbe Bill Nyo cigar* u week ago and that evening smoked one in my study. I lost tho use of tho study fur two or three daps, and my wife has not yer come back. What de you put In your cigars, aside from lhe rag carpeting und Jtuman candles? Did you invent tho cigar or do you just manufacture it for the inventor? Our phy­ sician r ays he thinks you get tbe cigar up out of your own head, but it does nut seem posHlbli' tliut your head is in that condition. It so I hope you will try to do something for it before it is too latn. So no more ut present.. From your true friend. Earl H. Adamk. This letter pained ma very much, for it was written iu such a gentle spirit by on© who evidently had my best interests at heart. I begun to bo alarmed, but thought that perhaps be had struck a bud cigar, which had crept into the box without mv knowl­ edge, while the rest were ull right. Just then I,received the foilowing; Stuxz Laxr. luwa. Bill Nys. Esq.: Dear rim—Your cigars huvs just reached Western lows. We have had nothing like it since tho close of the war. I was just llghtlag one of them yesterday when Ila contests fall out on the door, leaving tho wrapper in my band. After you have Uaished your cigars you should put a stopper in the end to keep the debris from spilling out. Dn you get your cigar linings from abroad? Wo have a curled-hair mattresa factory here thut you could make a deal with after you run sboit of scrap Iron and retired eedar-bloek paveturnL If you could afford to boll dowu u few pounds of tobacco nnd pour the broth on your cigars it would help to deaden the ef­ fect ot foreign substances and add a flavor ot tobacco to tho Manilla wrapper you now use. Generally I do not go out of my way to give advice, but in this Instance I feel that I ought to tell you that the best thing for you to do with these cigars Is to use them for home consumption. I would like to witness u few rounds between one of those weeds und a long-standing case of home consump­ tion. Possibly you have been wronged, how­ ever. Last year I saw a horse that had been named after you. and he did not resemble you in any way. Be was a heavy-set horse «u>u had considerable sense. If you are not making these cigars your­ self I will apologize for writing you about It. but. honestly, there are a great many of your old friends who would not loathe you so much If you would come out and state thut these cigars ore not made under roar ©ye. Yours truly. McKzx Lawrzrcil Many uth> r letters of a similar char­ acter have been received from various parts of tho Union, all showing that the promise made to me by the manu­ facturer ha« not been lived up to, or that other manufacturers are getting up a spurious article. I now desire to wash my haddB of the whole matter, at least, and to state over my own signature that unless it be a stenchless cigar, tree from slag or sediment, it is not genuine, and this is to warn the public to that effect. I suspect that the cigar refer-t-d to is one which was started up about two rears ago and facetiously called "Tb« okxsk Yard Zephyr.” bnt a> it did not Aeli well it has recently sppeared bearing mv name, and, by means of judiuions advertising and the use of my i*oArait, is reaching a tremendous sale. It is a flagrant wrong to the peopte of the United States, however, and I here proclaim that I will not defray the ex­ penses or assist at tho obacquiw* of those who smoke these cigars.

RED. WHITE, AND RED • MONG the various lo­ calities affected by the। strife between the। North and the South,, perhaps none waamoro। fertile in romantic in­ cident than were tho। western counties of’ Missouri. Tbe dissen­ sions which hod gitvn rise to bitter animosi­ ties between "bleeding KamtM." as it wm de­ risively called on tho one hand, and tho "border rufllnns." a» was the obnoxious cp-.the'. bestowed upon the other, had at tho outbreak of tho war reached such a degree that Uttle security was feit on either side of tho rushing over. On tho Missouri shore every Northern man wx-» looked upon with suspicion, m was. in fact, every nonalaveholdcr. whether of Northern or of Southern origin. Th ore wm an outside ap­ pearance of civility and neighbort I ness. but it was tho civility with which the lamb regards the fox. not knowing how soon open warforo may be declared. Nestled in among tho bluffs wm a little hamlet oompoaod of settlers malnlv from the older Southern States. Every shade of opinion wm to bo found among them; m a matter of course the pro-slavcrr sentiment predominated. It wm expected at no dis­ tant day to see. a Urge and thriving city ooeupyingthls bend ot tho river. My father, who wm tho loading physician in the ham­ let. wm among the first settlers. Born in 'Virginia, he had no anti-slavery prejudices; yet no felt the system to bo detrimental to the white race. Before coming West he had emancipated himself by disposing of 6is negroes, reserving only a couple of oom servants. -Even tills shade of diMp»ral in the then state of public feeling i construed into a hostile sentiment. On a certain spring morning this remote spot was Mtir with tho reverberation of the Kuns of Fort Moaitrie. Now there could no longer be any doubt where my father stood. He declared unconditionally for tho Union. Our house had—what many of tho ruder structures had not—a commodious cellar, and here at night knots of Union men held their secret meetings. When at iMt Gov•ernor Jackson disclosed his true attitude, •and called upon tho Htate militia to repel the ■invasion of Federal troops, the pent-up RSMIng found expression In wild speeches from the inconsiderate of both parties. Lyon wm preparing to move against Jeffer­ son City, and recruiting officers were busy mustering troops for both sides of the con­ flict. Lawlessness was already rampant, born of tho free frontier spirit which is al­ ways ready for reckless, daring adventure. Our household consisted, besides tho aervants. of onlv my father and myself. Among the suitors for my hand wm Raymond Ken­ neth, a young, bold, daring Carolinian. In physique, he was tho perfection of manly ■vigor, handsome and courteous In bearing, and u warm partisan in favor of soccMion. My father had deprecated the growing at­ tachment. and I gave hood to his cooler judgment against Raymond's hot-headed raanncM and violent temper. When he bo.nought me to put my faith in him into prac­ tice. by consenting to be his wife, my ■father's warning withheld the wished-for -answer. Our homes were adjoining. In tho gar•den fence wm a little wicket, through which we had always exchanged ncighlwrly cour­ tesies of the most friendly sort, hinee it was known that my father looked with disffavor upon an alliance, the feeling between the two families had become somewhat consitralncd; still ws.went In and out of the lit­ tle wicket m before. Ono night m I was sitting nlonc. my father gon*’ to visit a patient, old Marin, a house eervant of the K«*iincths'. camo hurriedly In with her baby in her arms.

Thwarted In thia, he muttered vengeaner. The following day he wm en­ rolled upon the list that sent so many mar­ tyrs to the lost mum. A company ot man were drilling tn a lot on the outskirts ot the town, without, m vet. aar regularly appointed officers. -When it wm known that Haymond Kenneth had enlisted, a shout went up: *0ur Captain! our Captain!’ He wm received with dem­ onstrations of joy. and when ho counseled an Immediate departure to join tho forces of Price, they gave the wildest cheers. It was decided that upon the arrival of the next boat this newly organised company would embark with Raymond Kenneth as first officer. He know tho Indignation with whivh this move Would be regarded by every Union man. and he gloried la it: but had no known with whut a throe of anguish this news wm received by me hU impetu­ ous nature would have forgiven all the past. and ho again would have been tho suppliant lover. I went about the house with eyes strained toward the bills for the flrat white wreath of smoko which should herald the approach of the evening steamer. Finally, upon tho clear noon-day air the shrill whistle sound­ od. The little hamlet was alive In an instunt. Tho levee was crowded with men. women and children, while the negroes stole surreptitious glances around the cor­ nets of fences and corn-cribs. The boat rounded to tho shore m tho company went marching down tho single street with its rod and white silken banner, the work of fair secession hands, floating in tho sun­ shine. Men of pronounced Union senti­ ments were eoMtdauons by their absence, and n strange quiet was over alt I stood upon a bluff which commanded a view ot tho whole scene, knowing that my figure would be thrown in silhouette against the clear sky. as a background. My pride camo to my uld and I made no moan. I thought that Raymond would relent at the last and send mo somo token of reconciliation, but he did not. In anticipation of thia. I hud formed a rosette of red and white ribbons, which, with long, floating streamers. I had fastened to the top of my parasoL I held it closely to my aldo, watching the boys as they stepped on board, some laughing and jest­ ing. others furtively brushing away the tears, and all leaning over the guards to repeat some last meeaagc. Raymond Kenneth stood In the bow of the boat, distinct as the smoke-stack itself, with his arms -folded, taking no part in tho general legvo-taklng. 1 felt that his eye wm upon me. but there wm no sign to reveal what emotion was passing within. The band struck up a gay march, the gang-plank wm withdrawn, and the boat swung out to resume her way down the -river, and still-he stood there motionAkdOflt os ho wm being carried out of sight. I brought my parasol in view, and waved tho Confederate colors aloft. I saw him bracp himself more erect, then a wave of his hand with tho military salute. By this time the boat was fairly turning round, and he wm lost to view. Not Uli then did my courage give way. I sank down among tho reeds in the brood sunshine and covered my face with both bands. Tho townspeople wondod their way back to their accustomed business or pleasure, while the heavy throbs of the steamer, m she plowed through tho waters, seemed like the bursting of some agonlxed heart. I Mt there through tho long sum­ mer afternoon, watching tho shadows grow­ ing longer and deeper, and at last the full glow of the sotting sun lay all about me. turning the waters to molten gold, and where they lay In shadow, all wns dark and gray. "I see mr life in this’picture. There is the gold of my vanished youth; there, below. Is the darkness of despair, and my heart’s love hM gone down In its track." I watched tho golden glory fade away and the gray shadows that camo creeping on. and soon the slender curve of the new moon stood over the dark­ ened waters. The dampness of early night wasall about me. and Ray. our old houMservant. came searching fonme. Her first words were: *Mias Jessie., I have ben a huntin' for ye all obor de place. Yere'a a letter Mmsu Raymond done sent by little Jake, but I ’clkr to goodness I couldn't find ye nowhar.” I grasped the paper.

Ah! it he could have seen me at that moment, have seen the passionate kisses which I bestowed upon this inanimate piece of paper, ho would have foresworn all hope ot glory, indeed. Not a word of this did I dare breathe to my father. As I wm seated on the veranda, before retiring for the night, ho referred to the departure, saying every secessionist should do likewise. If they were not satis­ fied with tho best government on earth lot them try to overthrow it. They would soon find an end to their boasting. He little knew, at that moment, that in my hand lay the little red and white rosette which I had detatched from my parasol. seeking the first opportunity to send ‘.t to my hot-head­ ed lover as the "charm in the hour of dan-> ger.” In a few days name the news of the open­ ing conflict onF Missouri soil, in the battle of Boonville. My father wm triumphant. Lyon had routed the State forces.

Bitmoxd." In the enlistment of Southern troops in Missouri there was little ot the pageantry of war to captivate the senses. There was nothing to distinguish the officer from his subordinates save a bit of rod flannel or a piece of cotton cloth fastened to his shoulder. The sultry days of July were full of fore­ boding to the Union men. The disMtor at Bull Finn had given outspoken bravado to the secessionists. knowing that the greater part of the force under Lyon, opposed to the State forces, was composed of three months* men. whose term of service would soon ex­ pire.

Make you the same confession, Tom. You trudged through miles of mud-puddle yesterday, and then gave yourself no rubbing down and dry stalling. Now you wonder where you got that con­ founded cough. And you, Dick, who spurred your tired eyas open night after One of the mysterious ruined cities of southern North America is that of San Guivera, near the western point of Texas. This was known to the early Spanish explorers, but, being at pres­ ent forty miles from water, it has sel­ dom been visited. A late surveying party found the ruins to be of gigantic and substantial stone buildings, one of which was four acres in extent. The indications point to a former existence of a dense population. To the south­ ward is a stream of lava from one to ten miles wide and forty miles long, and the surrounding country is most arid and desolate. No inscription, no legend tells the tale of the great city or of ita fate. x Cholera Inoculation. Five years ago Pasteur endeavored to discover a means of curing cholera by inoculation, but allowed the matter to drop on the death from the disease of an assistant investigator. The sub­ ject has been followed up, however, by Dr. Gamaleia, of Odessa, who has found a method by which the cholera has b en cured in animals by the in­ oculation of the cholera virus, and which, it is confidently believed, may be applied to man. His experiments are to be repeated before a commit­ tee of the French Academy of Sci­ ences, which holds a prize of 100,000 francs to be awarded for a cure for cholera.—Arkannaw Traveler. Has any whist player ever held the thirteen trumps in one hand ? The phe­ nomenon was seen at the United Ser­ vice Club, Calcutta. The piavers were Mr. Justice Norris, Dr. Harvey, Dr. Sanders and Dr. Beeves. Two new packs were opened and were trayed and shuffled in the usual manner. l)r. San­ ders had one of the packs cut to him and proceeded to deal. He turned up the knave of clubs, and on sorting his hand found that he had the other twelve trumps. The other three suits were unevenly divided in the other hands, but in the excitement of the moment, no record was taken of them. The fact was duly recorded in writing, six gentlemsn singing their names to the document. Tho odds against this com­ bination are, according to Dr. Pole, 157,750,000.000 to 1.

Her drooping body sank at Noll’s feet, while her little hands were clenched so tightly together that the nails ^ere piercing the flesh, and she gazed up-into his face with such on ex­ pression in her great beautiful eyes that he never forgot. “Oh, Mr. Noll, please be kind, and have a little mercy on me just once; please kill me.

Your life won’t be worth a cent if you let her go.” “Yee, I will keep her.

The first hat is called a Henri Deux, and the model from which the drawing is made is gray-blue velvet with a pretty soft crown, and a tumed-up turban brim, slightly indented in front, and bor­ dered with a-silk cord in a mixture of gold and silver. A wide band of gray­ blue ribbon, embroidered with gold and silver, passes round the crown of the hat, ana in front you see a plume of gray-blue ostrich feathers and a to mark their wearers as girl* who don't mind being hx-ked at.

It is sad to tell, but it is true, that in very many cases the color of both materials is the result of dye. Artificial blondes are’ not becoming scarcer. Women with bright yellow hair, along with eye­ brows and eye-la-hea twenty shades darker, are to be met with shocking freqiumey on the promenade. They are not fools enougli, as some imagine, to believe that they are for an instant deceptive. Their artificiality is too glaring to mislead anybody, and they know it; but thev are willing to be recognized on sight as “bleached blondes" rather than go unnoticed. The more deft and ingenious women with dyed hair ore now affecting a bright auburn rather than yellow, and so red-haired demand for white horses is not falling off. In these casrs, cloth caps of a correspondingly reddish hue produce a striking effect, and that without the glaring dyes of yellow. Genuine flaxen hair is never mistaka­ ble for the Itogmi article, for it is al* ways accompanied by a complexion peculiar to those combinations. A real blonde of this type, with a cap and boa to match her hair, has been one of tho wonders of our shopping district for a week. Bonnets of to-day aro a question of extreme importance, and there is a great deal to interest one in the pres­ ent fashions of headgear. Green vel­ vet plays an important part in milli­ nery,and in bonnet a is generally accom­ panied by green wings and "birds to match. Feathers are the favorite trim­ ming, while ostrich and rook feather roucnes are placed on the brims, both inside and outside. Small birds in masses and large birds with extended wings are prominent features. Hum­ ming birds nave been imported from sun­ ny climes, and throe or four are laid on the fronts of brims. The art of bow­ making has become a science. Wing­ shaped bows made, of sash ribbons surmount many crowns, while in others piece velvet for covering the hats is so cut that it forms a double comer on cluster of ribbon liows. The face is that of a belle of high degree, for it happened that the hat already had a purchaser when it was exposed to the artist, and he knew her visage from having often seen it in public assem­ blages. In the nicety of modern mil­ linery, the face and "the hat are care­ fully harmonized. Some of the ex­ quisitely fashionable women go so far as to provide themselves with certain millinery to wear on days when their complexion happens to l»e roseate, and others suitable for days when they chance to be pallid. That is drawing it pretty fine, to be sure, but such fan­ cies are diversion for those who indulge in them, as well as amusing to ob­ servers. The hats that reach forward and up­ ward from the two fair faces are new shajies in velvet. One is a combination of pearl-gray velvet, trimmed with black jet and black <»strich feathers.

In spite of the multifarious duties* and tasks that are imposed on these tiny burglars, they still find time to clean and adorn their worthy little per­ sons. No spot, no atom of dust or any­ thing uncleanly will they tolerate on their bodies. They get rid of the dirtwith the brushy tuft of their feet or their tongues, says the New York Graphic. They act for all the world liko domestic cats when they clean and lick themselves, and they assist one anotheral their toilet precisely like monkeys. Their sense of cleanlinem goes so far that the naturalist often finds to his un­ pleasant surprise the colored marks that ho had applied yrith so much camon his “trial ants" removed by their, dirt-hating friends. They keep" their dwellings just as cleanly. But the conveying away .of their de­ ceased brethren, whose bodies they ap­ pear to regard with the greatest onti)> othy, gives them more trouble than anything else. When some member* of on ant community which Mr. Cook kept imprisoned died and could not be r» moved, those remaining seemed affected, with the greatest horror. For days tho insects ran sbont seeking a wav out, and ceased only when completely exhanated. The anta belonging to the* camponorouH a[>ecies seized the dead and therw them into n water pail,, which they converted into a sepnlrner. Ordinarily, though, the ants are slid to treat their dead with more reverence. They even posscM their own grave­ yards, which lie in the vicinity of lheir nests. Then convey their deceased companions thither, where they lay them. down in orderly little heaps or rows. It i« only the corpses of their fellows,. however, that they treat in this man­ ner. Dead strangers they throw out. like something unclean, or tear tho body in pieces. Even between the* master and slaves of the same commu­ nity Mias Trent says she has observed a. dissimilar mode of burial. While the masters find their last repon? in a spe­ cial graveyard side by side, the slaves be like heaped-up refuse near the nest,, despised equally in death as in life. This Wall*. The partition walls to some of thenew houses in some of our great Amer­ ican cities are often *o thin that one would not dare assume the privilege of leaning back against them in Ids chair,, lest he should find himself, along with a heap of brick and mortar, in the prem­ ises of his neighbor. Indeed, if we are rightly iuformed.anaccident of this kind happened to a fat citizen not. long since. Ho had recently moved into a near house, when, leaning back as usual ho take his afternoon nap. he waked up all of a sudden in his neighb or's parlor.

Latest returns from New York, as we go to press give tueni 11,189 plurality iD New York, which assures them tbe victory. The cause of this reversion is exactly the same one which defeated Blane in 1884—a political split in New York. Four years ago the republican party in New York waa torn by dis­ sensions, giving the state to Cleveland by a plurality of a trifle over 1,100. *jTbis year the rent in the ranks was on tbe democratic side, the battle being virtually Hill vs. Cleveland, and Hill is victorious. His friends defeated Cleveland in Kings county alone, thin being tbe county in which Brooklyn is located* Tbe electoral ticket waa in­ dustriously traded, from morn till nigbt. for votes for Hill for governor, with the result tbat instead of a ma­ jority of 15,000 to 90,000 for Cleveland in that county, as was expected, the figures dwindled down to 11.000, giv ing Harrison tbe victory. Had it nut been for thin one thing, Cleveland would have achieved an overwhelming victory. The republicans of Michigan have won a victory of which they may well be proud, carrying the state for Harri­ son by one of its old time majorities. In Barry county especially are they to be congratulated, they having elected every man on their ticket by majorities ranging from 940 to 700, when not even the most sangaine of them expected tbat the result would be anything but mixed, an it was two years ago. Tbe election of W. W. Cole and D. W. Reynolds bad been conceded by nearly every republican, but tbe result shows bow lame were the estimates. Tbe republicans of course are jubil­ ant over the result in tbe state and na­ tion, burthey should bear in mind the ' fact, tbat as the republican mugwumps of New York elected Cleveland in *84, so tbe democratic mugwumps of New York are now entitled the credit of electing Harrison. recruit* from Europa, Tt» MW M.uuk.o mimIm will be viewed with decided taxor by the Unired Staten.

Newsome, of Atlanta, who wrote “The Lone Rock by the Sea,” a popular ballad twenty-five years -ago, has promised to sing the song and ‘give its history at an entertainment to be given at an early day for the l>enefit of the yellow fever sufferers. Pos­ sibly in this instance the end justifies the means. The librarian aud secretary of Shakspeare’s birthplace thinks tbat he has found fragments of a missing Shakspearean drama, called “Iras," in a book of' dramatic quotations of tho time of Elizabeth. The title is found on a page headed “Pl. Shaksp." Mr. Savage thinks he detects “au unmis­ takable Shakspearean ring*' in various paMaaee—as, for example: “The faults of many are buried in their hutpor;" “Your heart is greater than your per­ son "Dearer than the pomegranate of my eye,” etc. Mr. Savage is regarded sh a little impulsive. Lord Tennyson is not, as some peo­ ple believe, enshrouded in impenetra­ ble gloom, for he haa relaxed again in­ to social gayety of a mild type.

"Bnt what more can you expect?" he asked. "They are only animals." I saw more drunken men in Petersburg on the day of my arrival than I had seen in all the rest of Europe during a four months* stay. The peasants of Belgium have a poor reputation for temperance, but I saw more drunken men in Petersburg on my way from the station to tho hotel the day of my arrival than 1 saw in all Bel­ gium. Not only does the Russian religion fail Insecure sobriety and chastity among the peasants, but it is openly charged that the priests encourage intemperance. They are not accused of pounug liquor down the mouths of their parishioners, nor of exhorting them to get drunk on vodka, but tho charge is made, openly and often, that tho Russian priests advocate the use of intoxicating liquors aa necessary, be­ cause of tho severity of the climate; that they never reprove drunkenness among the peasants; tbat they discourage tbe organization of temperance societies, and that they multiply church feasts, which are little more than drunken carousals. The mnjik will get drunk whenever he can; he may be depended upon for that and needs no encouragement; but the motive of the priests for opposing sobriety and resisting temperance work is that the (Jhief mon of each parish are generally the manufacturers of spirits, who in many districts allow tho priests a regular anil often a liberal subsidy for permitting the natural appetite of the peasant for stimu­ lants to go unrestrained.

N tho same week that the fall of I’etersIsaw burg and Richmond Mand the surrender of |B3Sr_ J the remnant of the Army of Northern Virginia, Mobile was taken by the Union series of operations. Goming so late and at so remote a point from the most imjwrtant theater of military events, the combined at­ tacks of our army and navy uj»on the widely separated defenses of Mobile hardly attracted the attention of the country. Yet it was a long-continued and bravely fought contest on both aides, and the losses were severe. In­ side or outside of Mobile it was not known in the find days of April, 1865, that the war w»s about to end, and those, who fought there wore as de­ termined and os gallant ns any soldiers anywhere. Individual acts of heroism were performed there that ought to have place in the annals of the war, but which have never been told in print. One of the most daring of these was a reconnoissonco undertaken by a Lieutenant with a sergeant and private, all of the signal corps, which will now be related as \?ell as it can be by one who merely heard the thrilling' descrip­ tion of the extraordinary events of that night given by those who were engaged in them. Many of those who fought in tho Mobile armies could give an accurate description, which I cannot pretend to do, of th«* situation and importance of Battery Huger, f which was part of the defences. It was a strongly builL earth­ work somewhere on the Bay, armed with heavy artillery, and having a largo garrison. It was located a mile and a half from the shore upon a rand foun­ dation that had been strengthened for the purpose, was surrounded by reeds and water-grass, and was approached from the shore only by a narrow-built causeway, a mere footway of plank el­ evated above the marshy soil, which u single cannon of the earthwork could •weep. Picket-boats were sent far out from tliis work, and it had been Tor some time impossible to discover by any means short of a gunboat attack (which it was not just then considered advis­ able to make) what was going on be­ hind those high Arth works. Indeed, the belief prevailed to some extent at the headquarters of tho besieging forces that Battery Huger had been evacu­ ated. What led to this opinion, and whether it was anything more than a guess, cannot bo known. What con­ cerns this narrative is, that some time before Mobile fell it became a matter of great importance to ascertain definitely whether there was a garrison in Battery Huger, and whether it waa held in jorce or only by a picket. For this dangerous service a Lieu­ tenant of the Signal Corps was de­ tailed. He was ordered to take such help os he might desire, nnd to make so thorough a reconnaissance that the questions proposed would be settled lieyond doubt. He knew something or the topography of the situation, and that a boat would be indispensable. He merely took with him a soldier to row, a sergeant to assist him, and several large rockets. It was arranged be­ tween him and the headquarters from which be received his instructions that one rocket sent up by him would be for the purpose of attracting attention, two more, in quick succession, would mean that the battery had been evacu- The boat was silently rowed down the bay iu tho night time, and was brought into tho weeds and grass next the narrow causeway, perhaps midway l»etwcen the shore and the battery. So far, ao good. That the adventurous sea fsea of tho works waa simply im­ possible; it was tco nrarlY vertical. To skulk around on tho land side would bo dangt xpus in caw thrra were men inside; detection would bring nn instant volley of luuskotry, and r-uiult in death or capture. What should be done? «• • The thing that these resolute men deciJed to do may be thought rash and even fooliah. But it must be remem­ bered tliat tho balance of their judg­ ments waa that the battery was not held; and they must discover the truth in Rome way. They did discover! They planted a great rookct-atick. in the mud, nnd fired tho fuse with a match. As it went high up with a noisy rush and a stream of light, there waa’heard the call of a bugle inside tho battery, the so&nd of orders and the hurrying about of feet, and presently tho para­ pet was liued with soldiers, musket in hand. The signal-men, hidden in the reeds below, distinctly hoard their eager talk. “It waa from one of our boats. ” ’ “No, no;- they haven’t any that size; and thev’d have nothing to use them for." ’ “Howdo yon know? Perhaps it’s a lx>at -expedition." “Pshaw! I tell you that rocket came from this aide, over there. We might send a few shots down below hero.” “What nonsense! There’s nobody there." “I’ll send out and see, anyway. I believe it’ssome------ Yankee trick!” From their concealment in the mud the adventurers saw picket-boats com­ ing from all directions, and a dozen armed men rush out on the cunseway and run along it, looking over the aides as they went toward the land. In such a situation aa this escape would seem impossible. And yet it was managed. Probably not once in a thousand times could it have been ef­ fected ; but these daring men accom­ plished it With the most toilsome efforts they w a led the marsh back to their boat,* sinking-in mud and water ■up to the middle, keeping themselves concealed in the weeds, and lying per­ fectly quiet when boater or soldiers on the causeway, wereuiear. They were proliably three hours in getting back to their Ixmt, which they were delighted to find just where they left it. The uion they had left in charge of it told them that he had been seen by men on the causeway, but that they had mis­ taken him far one of their own pickets, and ho had tho presence of mind to answer them in that character. The boat was pulled out from the dangerous situation, rowed up along tho shorn and was put out into the bay far above the picket-boats. About two hours after sunrise a man camo to the quarters of the General wh» had sent out this expedition. He waa covered almost to the neck with mud which had dried nnd stiffened on him; his face and hands were scratched with reeds, nnd he waa thoroughly ex­ hausted. “General,” he said, saluting, “I have the honor to report that Battery Huger is well garrisoned.” It was the Lieutenant of the Signal Corps.—Chicago Ledger. i \/\/ when writing of I —) V V the mule to tell *-^how our Chaplain ®ven *‘»th the Irish Colonel.. The Colonel was a strict °®c®r' wtth a bitter contempt for the SjiPfOSSGSV* Chaplain, and took '“Vi every chance that of­ fered to show that dislike. Every officer and man shared in the contempt, but some few had drank from the same canteen with and tolerated tho Chap­ lain, on account ot his zeal in hunt­ ing out and success in finding the spirit and his readiness to share the same with his comrades. One Sunday, a bitter, cold, stormy day, the Colonel ordered inspection at ten, to be follow­ ed by divine services. Every officer and man was forced to turn out, then inspected and marched to the parade ground. Then the Colonel took his position six paces in front of the line, ordered parade rest and turned, salut­ ed the Chaplain who at once began the exercises by reading a long chap­ ter, followed with prayer. Then taking a text he began an eloquent discourse, and that old Dutchman was an eloquent man. Tbe sermon lasted' one hour, then the Colonel camo promptly to at­ tention and right-about-faced, intend­ ing to order the Adjuntant to dismiss the command, but found the entire bat­ talion had silently stolen away, one by one, frozen out, and even the Adjutant had left him and he had listened to half that sermon, standing there in the cold wind perfectly still, while the old Chaplain could swing his arms around and keep warm._____ Ltaeota*.

They occupied the east hall of the Ohio penitentiary. After »°mo weeks of oonfinementMorgan be­ came almost frantic. He and some of the rcst began to form plans for escape. At length Morgan and Captain Thomas H. Hines hit upon a scheme which seemed practicable. They had been allowed to receive food and other articles from friends and relatives out­ side. Correspondence by letter with their families was allowed. It has never been fully ascertained how it happened to this day, but in some way Morgan and six of his officers obtained each a full suit of citizens’ clothes. They stole knives from the dining­ table, and dug a tunnel underneath the floor of a cell. The floor was made of brick and cement. The tunnel was made from the cull down into an airchamlter underneath, thence to the yard of the prison. They tore their bed-covering into "strips and made a rope of it An iron poker from tho stove was beaten into a hook, and with this extemporized rope and hook they p'repared to scale ths great wall of the penitentiary yard. The signal to go was given just after the great prison bell struck the hour of midnight. “Dummies" hod been prepnred by .stuffing their old garments with newspiqtera. These they left cov­ ered in their beds to deceive the guard, who always looked into their cells with u lantern, on liis hourly rounds, hold­ ing it up to see through the grating. Clang! went the great iron bell on the stroke of minignt, Nov. 26, 1863. White it struck, a rap beneath on the floor of each cell told the seven men that their hour had come. With beat­ ing hearts and hurried hands they placed the “dummies" in the beds and slipped down into the air chamber. A thin crust of cement had been left over the floors of all the cells except that of Captain Hines.* The cutting of all ex­ cept his had been mode from under­ neath. The night was dark nnd rainy, and favored their escape. Th® hook and rope did their work well, and in a few minutes after leaving their tunnel the seven men were in free air. They sep­ arated into three parties, Morgan and Captain Hines taking a railway train to Cincinnati. A Union officer of high rank was on board the car in which Morgan and Captain Hines sat. Morgan at once approached him and engaged him in conversation. As they approached the State Prison the officer remarked: “That is the hotel where John Mor­ gan stope, I believe.” "Yes; and H is to be hoped he will stop there, ” answered Morgan. “Let us drink to him.” With this remark General Morgan offered the Union offiuer a drink of fine Kentucky whisky. It was courteously accepted, and so the night wore away. In the dawn the train approached Cincinnati. Morgan pulled the bell­ rope and went out upon the platform. Hines moved to the platform at the other end of the car, and they applied all their strength to the brake's. The train slowed, and the two bold adventurers sprang off, almost into tbe arms of. a guard of Union soldiers. One of them asked, with on oath, what the men were jumping off there for. “Whafa the use of a man’s going into town when ho lives out here ?” replied Morgan. “And what’s it your business, anyhow ?* “Oh, nothing," answered the soldier. A boy ferried Morgan and Captain Hines over the river for $2. Once more they were on Kentucky soil, in”*New­ port When, a few minutes later, the telegraph brought word to Cincinnati that Morgan had escaped from Colum­ bus, the boy who conveyed him over the river in his skiff gave the first in­ formation as to the raider's probable method of accomplishing his freedom. But by that time Morgan was across the Licking River, from Newport, and already well on his way to safety in Boone County. He went south toward Tennessee, means of travel being fur­ nished him by devoted friends.

K&n. tn which 160 men were buried 200 feet below the surface of the earth. A terrible report, like a discharge of artillery, shook •very hotiw in Pittsburg and shocked the people Into un almost paralysed condition. Searchers for the cause started toward the coal mines, and mot a mangled, bleeding nun, who said- that No. 2 shaft at Frontenac kad been destroyed by an explosion and that all the men in the mine exeept himself and a Dane were undoubt­ edly dead. At the mouth ot tho mine the tremendous force of the explosion was ap­ parent There were huge semes in tho earth, and the timbers ot tho hoisting apparatus were shivered and burned, and foul gases wore escaping. The men were about to quit work tor the day when the ex­ plosion occurred. It is believed that not one survived the shock, as the explosion must havo destroyed everything in the piL Big fires were built near the mouth of the pit, and beside these biasing piles the wives and mothers of the entombed minors placed their children, while they them­ selves tried by ell kinds of entreaties tb in­ duce the miners from the other shafts to enter tho pit and rescue their relatives. Rescuing parties 'started down the shaft, but were forced to return bock owing to the foul air. Most of tho miners at these shafts were originally from the mines of Pennsyl­ vania. Pittsburg is in the center of tho coal mines of Southeastern Kansas, and is about 100 miles south of Kansas City, on the Fort Bcott and Gulf Railroad. TIIE WORLD OVER ■>Mrs. Sarah JaneBobluson. the Somerville. Meas.. poisoner, will not hang. She will for the rest of her life remain In solitary con­ finement in the State Prison—the only fe­ male convict over imprisoned in that institution, and tho second prisoner to suffer solitary confinement Governor Ames and his council commuted the death sentence to solitary confinement for life. When the condemned woman heard the verdict she fell back Into tho chair and moaned: "My God! I wish It hud been the other way." She had prepared her mind to die. and tho sudden end of her misery seemed far preferable to the lingering tor­ ture of solitary confinement. For several minutes she gave way to the wildest out­ burst of grief and rocked to and fro. crying out for death. Ever since her conviction and sentence. Mrs. Robinson has stoutly maintained her innocence. She expected u> hang, but said that in time her innocence would bo established. The action on the part of the Governor and tho Council has practically settled the question of hanging women in Massachusetts. Tremendous pressure was brought to bear in this case to save that Bute from the disgrace ot hang­ ing- a woman. This has not been done since July 10. 17®U. when Rebecca Waugh was hanged in Worcester for murder. Whitehead Inaugurated ns Aid. James Whitehead, the newly elected Lord Mayor of London, is an advanced H.idical In politics, and ho has amassed, a large fortune as tho proprietor ot the great fancy-goods store in Ken­ sington known ns “Barker' where, according to popular report, it is possible to purchase every imaginable article, from a bicycle down to a second-hand coffin. Born fifty-four years ago. the Lord Mayor is an active, energetic-looking man. and was educated at the Appleby Grammar School He has twice unsuccessfully con­ tested a division of Westmoreland against tho Hon. W. Lowther. He was elected Ai­ derman ot Cheap Ward in 1882 on the dentil of Alderman BrcfflL and served in tho office of Sheriff of Lon­ don in 1884-1885. The Conservatives were extremely disgusted at the idea of see­ ing a follower of Mr. Gladstone and sup­ porter of the Irish homo-rule doctrine es­ tablished at tho Mansion House, and great pressure was put to secure the election in his stead of Sir Henry Isaacs, the next Aiderman in rotation. The attempt, how­ ever. was unsuccessful, and Mr. Whitehead, who is personally popular, was duly chosen by the Liverymen. The inauguration of Mr. Whitebead took place In accordance with traditional usage, Nov. C. POISONED BY THEIR SISTER.

A FORTUNE RECOVERED. Gen. Herman Sturm, of Indianapolis. Ind., a man who onee possessed great wealth, but lost it through his dealings with tho Mexican Government, has. after many years of persistent effort, prorured tho al­ lowance of a claim wh ich will restore his fortune with Interest. At the time of the Maximilian Invasion he entered into a con­ tract to furnish the Government a large supply of arms and ammunition at a greatly advanced cost. Philadelphia capitalists were interested with him in tho transac­ tion. Through the wrecking of a steamship containing a large part of the cargo and the failure of the Government to pay for its purchase Sturm was bankrupted, and others associated with him lost heavily. Sturm endeavored to recover insurance on a part of his loss, and the case was In court The Findlay (Ohio) Postoffleo employes The Postmaster, his deputy, all his clerks, and all the letter-carriers have forwarded their resignations to the department at Washington.

Chairman of the Demo­ cratic National Campaign Committee, says a New York telegram of the 8th. is suffering all the Yictaaituaee of the vanquished. Bel­ ting men are denouncing him because he raised false hopes after he knew th* election was against him. The Democratic newspapers proclaim his incompetency in the management of Mr. Cleveland's cam­ paign. Republican dailies call him Colonel Ralnbowchascr Brice, and a man from Ohio says he is no colonel. The overwhelming defeat or Abram 8. Hewitt is now-attributed to tho venality of lire County Democracy heelers. These heelers were evidently bought up by Tam­ many. On, tho afternoon ot election day County Democracy heelers in Harlem tore down the pictures of Mnyor Hewitt from their ballot booths nnd declared for Hugh Grant, Tammany's candidate. HOW THE WAGEKM RESULTED. Probably SSOO.OOO Changed Hand* in Cla- Tho jeremiads are being suug to­ day. Ono is the wail of the mug­ wump. and the other is the requiem over the blasted prospects of Governor David BcAnett Hili. Tbe political career of hl* Excellency 1* without doubt wound up. He organized this State for himself, without paying any attention to Cleveland. All the liquor men and tbe disreputable member* ot society generally were for Hill, os ha has vetoed the high license bills both year* they were pa*»ed by the Republican Legislature. All through the State where his friends are tho strongest ho ran ahead of Cleveland. Where Cleveland Democracy is strongest ho suffered but slightly, and not in proportion to the number of mug­ wump votes found in these localities. In his own county Hill ran 590 votes ohoad of Cleveland. In Erie County, where Cleve­ land used to live, but where now Governor Hill's friend* have charge ot the Demo­ cratic oreauization. Cleveland was defeated by over 2.UU0. while Hill had almost 5.000 plurality, a difference ot about 7.00U. In Rensselaer County, where .Cleveland was defeated by 374. Hill hod 790plurality. This is the county where Chairman Edward Murphy, of the Democratic State Committee, lives, and is the local leader. In Mon­ roe County, where Governor's Hill's friend. Secretary of State Cook, lives and controls the German vote. Cleveland was defeated by almost 5.000. and Hill ran ahead of Cleve­ land more than 2.000 vOfcs. Rochester is in this county. In Onondaga County, where Hill ha* many friends in the Democratic organization, ho ran 1.200 votes ahead of Cleveland. Syracuse i* in this county, aud Hill's friends control the city organization there. In Oneida County Hill ran over BOO votes ahead of Cleveland. David Disber was the State committeeman from this county until he was put off tho committee by the Cleveland men on account of his dis­ reputable cliarnotcr. He is an cx-gambler and a friend of the Governor. In New York tho liquor men hod a Hill organization of their own. and made enough difference in the vote to elect Hill without any gains throughout the State. They were encouraged in their purpose by the State Committee. On election night, when tho return* from all over the State told that Cleveland was defeated and -that Hill was elected, the State Committee held a jubila­ tion meeting. They were making so much noise about it that the crowd around the hotel took it up. and the new* spread through the town. Senator German came down from the National Committee to the Hoffman House and told the State Commit­ tee that they might *t teafft have the deSMS7SiS.,?r*’' The results of tbe vote in this city, as revisad and announced semi-officially to-day. enable one by a simple arithmetical calcula­ tion to determine within a few hundred of the number of mugwumps in this town. Cleveland's plurality was S7.$13. Hill's wm 6B.3W, Jones' was 73.290. The mugwumps supported Cleveland and Jones; they oppowd HilL Jones was the Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor, and bis name wm on the same ticket with Gov. Hill's, the two names msk(ng up tho State ticket. Tho various mugwump newspapers nnd the first meetings that opposed Hill urged on the mugwumps the necessity of voting against Hill. and. at tho some time, of voting for the other man on the same ticket, that they might emphasize tn thi* easy way the immense number of voters who were opposed to HilL rtr jlokerk and winners.

He was game to the end, nnd did not appeal for mercy. After waiting long enough to he assured that their work had been accomplished tire moh departed, tearing Young'* body dang­ ling from tire gate. The vietim'* wife, neo Laura Sprouse, cal the body down as quickly aa possible, and efforts wcre tnade to resuscitate Young, but without avail. Coffman, the attorney, pale with terror, was found by tbe member* of tbe mob in the corncrib, and given five minute* to leave tho couni ry. on pain of death. They shot hi* plug hat full of holes to empha­ size the order. Laura Sprouse- Young wae notified that she could not remain in Clark County, and she removed to Keo­ kuk. Iowa, where, about n year after the tragic events above narrated, she commit­ ted suicide by taking morphine. It wae olwsyr. believed that she knew more about the Spencer murder than any one else, am] a newspaper correspoudent worked untir­ ingly to glean some information from her, but signally failed. "When I am on my death-bed.'* aha would respond, "come to me and I will tell you all I know. Not before." When the correspondent waa informed by tbe city phyaician that Laura Sprouse, m she was always colled, wm dying, ho hurried to her bedside at midnight, but she was too for gone to answer his eager "No." And there the awful mystery rested. Young could have had no motive for the murder save robbery or the gratification of a homicidal mania. He was in good eircumstanccH, and the theory of robbery waa not regarded a* a good one. Though lynched after having been declared inno­ cent by twelve of his fellow-citixen*, and no evidence against him.*avo the weakest kind of circumstantial testimony an;! an an*arory record, his violent death seemed to satisfy the people, and the Clark Coun­ ty butchery i* almofft forgotten. Tbe mur­ derer may yet be alive and in their midst, but the citizen* of Clark County have long since given up all efforts to unravel th.; mystery surroand:ng the butchery of tbeSpcncer family. WON HIS WIFEONTHEFXECTION. ong >io „ cem j •rhat rlm. w^ parties ,long since censed. That .crime was the butchery of the Sf.encer family, near Luray, in Clark County, Mo., ten years sgo The Spencer family, consisting of father, two daughters, and a son—the father on the shady side of 50, the daugh­ ters full-grown, and the son 16 years of age—were classed among the best peo­ ple of the county. Old man Spencer yras frugal, and was supixrsed to have considerable money at all times. He owned a valuable farm and some property in the town of Lui ay. The murder wav discovered by neighbors, who noticed that the house had riot been opened, and as this had never happened before it created sus­ picion. and finally a distant relative, ac­ companied by hi* farm hand, broke into the unpretentious little farmhouse, and found on the first floor, in the rear room, the horribly mutilated remains of old man Spencer. The honse wm a story and a half structure. The menqiroceeded to the attic floor, where the two girls were found in bed dead, and* nlw terribly mutilated. The relative, who is still a resident of Clark County, knew that the son slept in the bam. and tbe horrified men continued their investigation in that direction, where young Spencer was found with hie skull crushed and a Ditchfork driven into his abdomen. The alarm was given aud never bad »-nch excitement prevailed in that section of the State. The relative was suspected of having committed the murder in order to secure Control of tbe property and was promptly arrested for the crime. Detec­ tives were imported, among them one Frank Lane from Louisville, Ky., who after a few days qnnonneed that the man under arrest was innocent, aud pointed out m the murderer one Bill Young, who owned- a large farm in the neighborhood, and who was regarded m a dangerous man. though never\ convicted of any crime. Young was arrested and narrowly escaped lynching, meanwhile protesting his inno­ cence nnd claiming he could show his movument-i and whereabout* during the entire week of the murder. When his case came to trial one Laura Sprouse, a dressmaker, testified that* she was in Young's company during tbe time he was accused of having committed the quad-nple murder, and brought in a host of witnesses to show her own whereabout* night and day. The trial lasted several days, and attracted wide attention. The jury brought in a verdict of “not guilty," and Young was released. The people were not pleased with the re­ sult of the trial, and made strong th:cats of taking justice into their own hand*.

Two week* after the trial Bill Young married Laura Sprouse aud the couple went to Keokuk, Iowa, bn their bridal trip. Young was a widower and had several small children. He had been defended tn his trial by a Kentucky lawyer named Coffman, who fought for his client like a tiger, and did much to save his neck. with the aid of the woman Sprouse.

Brown is a blacksmith in Broadbnxi. and the smithy is his sole possession. He is a stanch Republican. For a long time he liu paid court to a young woman, the daughter of a Democratic farmer, whodid not look with f«vor on tho young man becauHe of hi* priipca. Again and again has Brown pleaded with the agricultur­ ist for the hand of his fair daughter, but invariably in vain. He received no encouragement whatever, and in tho heat of one political argument not long ago the old nim turned the young suitor from tbu door and positively for.ade him to eror enter tbe house again. The next day theold man tried to invent some scheme which would wrest from Brown* his black­ smith shop and compel him, through poverty, to depart from the vicinity, lie • felt Bure of Cleveland being elected, and, thoroughly imbued with the idea, he vis­ ited Brown’s shop. "Young man,’' he Baid, “I’ll tell yon what I’ll dp. Y'on want to marry my daughter. I'll make yon a wager. If Harrison is elected she is yours; if not, you can give me a bill of sale of this ahop and the tools, and forever quit the town. Georgs was only too glad of an opjiortunity to back up hi* political preferences any way, and he accepted the ■fwrmrjr sd quickly that the old. man was dxs^d. The bill of sale waa drawn up nnd signed, and the farmer went home chucMing about how easily he had obtained tho litllo blacksmith abop and rid himaelf of the youngnter he disliked. Tho rest of the story is rood told. Af- ter the presentation of all tho convincing docuincutR obtainable the old farmer hax given in, though insisting that a trick han be?n played upon him and that he is the victim after all. He haa consented to his daughter's marriage with Brown, but insi*ts that tbe wedding mutt not takoplace until after Harrison is inaugurated. Tho daughter and her lover deny that there was any such clause in tho contrast and propose to have the nuptial knot tied at once. ______________ SENOR CANOVAS MOBBED.

Thousand* of Republican* collected at the aiatiou early, and tho arrival of Senor Canovas wm tho signal for a hostile outburst. The mob sur­ rounded and followed hia carriage, hooting and throwing atones. The windows of thecarriage were smashed by the flying mis­ siles.

When the carriage reached the Prado the gendarmes sur­ rounded it in order to protect the occu­ pants from violence. Similar ecetm of disorder occurred ouiatde of the residence of Senor Canova*. In order to eeoap* from the mob he drove to the housfeof hiw brother-in-taw, the Marqui* cf Sotomayor.

Yet, on reflec­ tion, any one who knows anything about the war and tbe character of the people engaged in it—and, more than all, the passionate intensity of the Southern women for their oauae—will deem such things entirely probable. I have read many such accounts, and from my own 'experience with the Southern people hire supposed them true. Whether so or not, here is one that is perfectly true. fChjCtfoll I believe it occurred about April, 1862, before Banks' hasty retreat down the Shenandoah Valley, at the press­ ing request of Stonewall Jackson. I was a Lieutenant in the Twenty-eighth New York Volunteers, but from August, 1861, to the close of the war, was de­ tached for the service of the Signal Corps. I wm -on this service all through Banks’ Valley campaign of 1862, and the incident that I have lo relate occurred while I was so acting. The main part of the army lying at Winchester, I used to ride short dis­ tance's about the country, witli a Ser­ . ge*nt, getting information and learning the topography, for possible future signaling operations. - There was no -enemy very near to Winchester; possi­ bly I may not be correct as to the exact time, for dates are hard to recall after a lapse of twenty-six years. But the situation I remember perfectly. It wm a handsome stone house on a lane or by-road three miles west of Winchester. The region abounds in just such houses, mid there was noth­ ing peculiar about it. From ita apI had passed it several times and ol>served it, when the inclination took me to oalh I dismounted, and said: a sharp lookout I don’t suppose there is any danger al>ont here, so near to town; but we must be watchful.

I The girls were kind enough to say ‘that they really thought there was a igreat reMmblance. I wm bright enough to say that I was very glad they find so handsome a brother. And then we * all laughed together and became quite merry. Our troopa had bcefi paid shortly liefore this, and a large part of the pay­ ment was in gold. That was a very unusual circumstance, and one that bocam© impossible to happen a few weeks later. I had a few gold dollars jingling in my pocket, and I preunted one to each of my fair entertainers. Not m payment ’for their hospitality, that I knew would never do with them, but merely as tokens of good-will. They had not seen gold coin for some time, and they thanked me while ex­ amining and admiring the keepsakes. While we chatted thus, one of the ladies excused herself and left the room. I thought nothing of it at the' time; I did afterward. Suddenly my-sergeant came running in, without formality. “Lieutenant!" ho exclaimed. “There’s a squad of horsemen just come over the hill," . I forgot my good manners in an in­ stant. I bolted from the room without ceremony. I stayed not cm the order of my going; I went at once. We mounted our horses and rode rapidly through a lane to a piece of woods, thinking it safer to keep out of the highway for tbe present. We paused when we got to tho cover, and looked back. A white linen sheet was hung out from one of the open upper windows; for what, I could not doubt. Id a moment a dozen russet-clad horse­ men galloped into the yard and sur­ rounded the house. We withdrew in silence and secrecy, regained the road by a wide detour, and returned at • top-speed to Winches­ ter. I felt as though I had learned something that I did not know before. A week later I rode out that way in company with a good-sized detachment of cavalry.

It will lx; C remembered that riiis was the second day of that memora­ ble »and bloody battle, and that from the dawn of the fifth until sunset of Xhe sixth (according to history) fifteen thousand men were slaugterod in lx>th armies; nor did the firing then entirely cease on the picket lines, for the occa­ sional crack of a musket gave evidence that the pickets of both armies were on fthe alert, watching for an opportunity <o do bodily harm to any one who ex­ posed his ]>erson. That night I war, detailed for picket duty and was sta­ tioned in front of our corps, not far from a point where the woods were -Hiud to be on fire; indeed, the smoke of the burning had already reached us: Amt os we were informed that the dead ^aud wounded had all l>een removed we gave the subject no thought, knowing Hint beyond a thorough smoking, perliajM. it could do us no harm. I had gone buck into the wood u short distance and built a little fire to cook coffee for my comrade and myaelf—having been fortunate enough to purchase a canteen of water ffrom a fiossing soldier—and was rejoicing over die prospect of a feast fit for a king— hard-tack and coffee. While waiting for the water to lioil I had sat down, and, ns I have stated, was brooding over my feeble fire, and being weary, it is just ]XMsible that I fell asleep. Whether aaloep or owake the follow­ ing visions iMt-ssed before my mind : I was up North among my friends and acquaintances and was warmly greeted. There was rejoicing on every"hand, for ■the “cruel war was over,” and tbe “flag ■of our Union” floated over the whole -country, its honor iio longer divided with another. Bonfires were burning, •cannons were booming, and orators were ahouting themselves hoarse, while bands were blowing “Hail Colum•bia” and “The .Star-Spangled Banner" •to tatters. In fact, the whole country ’ll nd gone moil with joy. I was re■ceived . very where as a her.), and proudly walked at the head of long pro•cessions in my thread-bare uniform, far prouder than a king in his robes of purple aud gold. Then the scene suddenly changed. The year was 18G2; I stood before a humble cottage, a cottage covered with trailing vinei and flowers, but the fairest flower of all stood in the door­ way, and, extending her hand, greeted sue warmly. This was heaping coals of fire on my head, for I hail scarcely Loen true to her;still I was not untrue, only a little wayward, tftat was all. Then she talked of porting, as she Juul ou a former occasion, aud gave the young soldier excellent advice, caution­ ing him against all excess; "aud, above .all things, be true to your country. 4rncr than you have been to me. You -ore now going where you will know «omething of the realities of war, some­ thing of a soldier s life divested of tinael and gold. Realities will meet you ou every hand, cold as the steel’ of your sword, and as broad as the wound jin onr country's heart." The next moment her fine lip curled and her manner towards me changed, and in place of soothing words, the teat parting was disfigured by sour looks aud upbraiding—in short, we ^parted in anger. Tills was a true pibCure of the parting ahich burned into any heart, and this was the mountain of si rad that I hod carried in my breast sfor many o day.

M. F. Scott of Grand Rapids and H. R. Pat­ tengill, editor of the Moderator, will be present.

According to his explanation, the cold­ est day docs not occur at tho winter solstice, but somewhat later, since the greatest cold must be experienced at that time of the year when the amount of heat received from the sun becomes equal to that lost by nocturnal radia­ tion. As might be expected, the cold­ est day falls earlier in tho southern part of the country than in the northern. An amusing incident occurred the other day in Birmingham, Ala. A lady employed a little negro boy, and, as he was very ragged, she bought him a new suit of clothes. He immediately announced his intention of leaving her employ. Determined that he should not take the clothes with him, she stripped him, and wrapped a blanket around him. He dashed into the street Baked, and tho lady took after him.

The Vassar brothers, the last of whom, John Guy Vassar, ditxl not long ago, have done much for education and for tho higher development of women. John Guy Vassar was a fortunate man of business. He appreciated the bene­ fits of a liberal education. He and. his brothers founded Vassar College, which mm really the first definite attempt to establish an educational institution solely for the benefit of women. It is a grand monument to the generosity ond breadth of tho founders. Accordinc. to the Walla Walla Jour­ nal, the red fish have for the first time in sixteen years disappeared fiom Wallowa Lake, and the packers are idle in consequcnc?. The fish are identical with the “blue black'1 salmon of the Columbia, and have been accustomed to making the lake their breeding grounds, where they swarmed in im­ mense numbers. Like many other fish, they change color at the breeding sea­ son. The blue black is one of the finest fpecies of salmon, and its utter extermination seems to be a matter of only a short time. It is asserted in Loudon pajK-rs th^t the discovery made by Mr. Hewitt in the artificial manufacture of quinine will result in the reduction of the price of that article to a few cents per j>onnd. Tbe importance of this discovery ia rendered greater by tho fact that, while hitherto dependence has been on the cultivation of the cinchona tree for quinine, the bark yielding only about two per cent, of the same, the new pro­ cess admits of the substance being pro­ duced without limit from an article which can always be got in abundance The Portland Oregonian tells of a peculiar sight witnessed the other day by passengers on the ferry from Van­ couver. A seal was in pursuit of a salmon. The fish darted hither and thither, and frequently leaped out of the water. The jhwk(ligers Ixcamo very much excited in watching tbe race. Finally the fish darted up to 173 Dragon.. The fact that the population in France is remaining stationary, if nrt actually diminishing, has provided po­ litical eennomis's and moralists with u fertile theme for comment. A payer lately real by M. Lagneau to the Academy of Medicine on tbe tendency of Fren.’h famili-a toward rapid extinc­ tion throws n new light on the subject. It IT2X i been calculated that of one hundred families existing in tho time of King Philippe August?, who died • hoe. figure up > balance, and by it rate the woman ns a number one beauty, or number two, and so on, up to a hundred. The latter figures really meant downright ugliness, but the gal­ lant and jocose Thieblin wonld not ad­ mit that such a thing existed.

There wouldn't be any harmony in that, you know." Certainly ’ tho abbreviation of the cloth and’ horse-hair tails gave what the English call “amartness" to the two figures.

Besides, the swell girl is in no hurry to enwrap her­ self heavily in velvets, plushes and furs. She prefers to keep up the brisk, airv aspect of a warm-blooded physique os long as she can.

As they neared tbe place he paused, and looked in surprise.

Tbe mound was cov­ ered with bright green tnrf, a circle ot flowers in the center, from among which one pure white lily lifted ita bead. At one end rose a little marble headstone, a beadstone showing an angel flying up toward tbe stars with a baby form clasped in its arms, and at the angel's feet waa the one word, "Nellie." ’ Surely there must be some mistake. The old man lifted his tear-wet eyes to the editor’s face with a questioning look. “The boys at the office," explained the editor, “they bad it done, and they bad me bring you out to see how you liked it,” and the editor looked in tbe other direction. Not a word replied the old man. Tbe editor looked at him again. The old man was on his knees, be­ side tbe grave, and right down in tbe heart of the lone white lily sparkled a tear drop, bright as a diamond. And a drop as bright as that the Iflly held, trembled on the editor’s cheek. Little Aleck waa a small-sized Afri­ can who waa employed in a St. Paul, Minneeota, newspaper office as an errand boy.

In snort the editor of the paper called little A’eck in and told him it wonld be among his duties, whenever be saw an item of news on the street, to bring ft in the office. “Now,” said the editor, "if yon should happen to run across a dead man. or a lost child, or a runaway home, bring it into the office.

Detached from toe re-a ox the village, •there used to be, and is uow, for aught I ■know to tho contrary, a long, low, viuecovcred bouse, not much larger than a ■cottage. An old-fashioned garden, full of the sweet flowers somewhat despixed by modern horticulturists, lies all around it, divided from tho orchard at tho liack by a straggling fence and a merry little stream of clear water. Tho whole place gives one impressions of sweetness and -froshnosi. though hardly of trimness. They would require, this garden and or­ chard, the constant care of two strong men to render them ns neat us the lawns and flower-beds of city lots, whereas the sole attention they reco ved, when I knew them, was tho very unmethodical care of pretty Marie Gambier. Well, Marie had more important work to do than garden­ ing. Sbo kopt house for her father, and for tho girl that meant cooking, cleaning, •sewing, and sotn-rtfines even milking. Mild Paul Gambier was the last of a long line of descendants of an ancient Paul Gambier, who had settled in Canada with the first of the French colonists, and al­ though only imperfectly elucated he prided himself on the fact that he was a gentleman who had never been obliged to work. It did not ofcur to him that, bo«ausc ho cho»e to orht u]>on a p iltry three «or four hundred dollars a year, a frail and slender wife had been hurried to her long creut; nor did be pause to consider that his -daughter Marie, iurtead of being nt the convent school nnd enjoying herself as young girls should, was growing up to ancceed her mother as a household drudgo and iu total ignorance of all the bccqibplishmenU usually so dear to young tuufies. even in the back townships of tho .slow French province. Mario was very simple and very igno­ rant,'but she posses-ed pleasant traits of character. All the dogs, cote, cows and horses in the vill.ige know Marie Gitmbier, aud in their several wavs showed their ap­ preciation of her kindly notice of them. Besides. Mane was very pretty, and in the mountains liied n shopping young -Frenchman who was a* iguorant of Ltorw- pretty cirod for his p ret tv nurse.

Certainly, a French-Canadian peasant girl, who could speak neither In* Inngunge nor her own correctly, could hardly hope to l>epomo Mrs. Penrith.

Each Sunday ho drove over to tbe old cottage just "the same ns ever, only his visits were short, and most of the time was spent in ’discussing n pipe nnd local affairs with Marie's porujtous old father. Of coarse Jeau could see how Mario was entirely engroisod in the handsome stranger from the city, and although he said very little, ho watched him very closely—so closely that when, two months after the accident, the stranger took his departure, Jean met him outside the vil­ lage. * You will come bock, Monsienr?" “Ye*," replied Penrith, very shortly and coolly—“that is, in a few weeks.” “Yon will marry Marie?" At first Walter Penrith was disposed to resent what, although naked as a question, almost sounded like a command. But as h* raised his eyes to tho-u of the sternFooking Frenchman before him he was conroclled to say: “les, I shall njarry Marie.” “Yon will pass me your honor. Mon­ sieur," persisted Coutellier. "My word i* good, sir," replied Penrith, rather haughtily. “Only your honor is good now, Monstenr, beciUMiii* Maiio," said Couloll er. with allthe stubbornness of bi>nature.

Ominous clouds wore sweeping down the mountains in sheets of ini-t and vapor, nnd the rod leaves hung damp and life­ less on the trees. The sunshine and tbe summer were gono from nature, us the sunshine nnd summer of her life had gone from Marie. She looked very sod nnd old for a girl of twenty-two; for. although she tried sincerely to make her husband hapnv and to repay him as well ns she could for his great lore, she found it hard work. Down tho n-.rrow mountain path she could sec Jean mending n fence which ran along the edge of tho path whore tho gorge was parnciihirly deep nnd danger­ ous.

A n North Side family?—Philttdelph-a Religion of (he Roumanian*. The religion of the Roumanians is a mass'of superstitions, which under tho name of Christianity dominates their entire existence. Indeed, one author has said: “The whole life of a Wal­ lach is taken up in devising talismans against the devil.” A Roumanian un­ covers his head on passing n wayside cross, but he makes an e jually deep salutation to the rising sun; he goes to church on Sunday, but it is doubtful whether he does not regard Friday, which is dedicated to Venus, as tho holier of the two. The orthodox Rou­ manian regards any one who buries a corpse without placing a coin in the hand a? a pagan. The Roumanian churches, in contrast -with the cold, bare-looking churches of the Saxons, pr« sent a most attractive appearance, for they are covered with artistic dec­ orations, and are a mass of soft, warm coloring. “Not a corner," says Mrs. Gerard, "but from which starts up some grin­ ning devil, not a nook but reveals some choleric-looking saint, till wo feel our­ selves to be surrounded by a whole pageant of celestial and diabolical beings, only distinguishable from one another by the respective fashions of their headgear, horns or halo, as tho case may lie. These homed devils play a very important port in every Rojimanian church, where usually a large portion ol tho walls is given up to rep­ resentations of the p aco of eternal punishment.

After their arrival in Chicago the pris­ oner and the two men guarding him wore driven in a closed carriage to that now deserted cottage, aud at the first giant Sylvester knew there was some­ thing wrong', for the shuttera-were all cloned and no one could lie seen. They rang the -lx?ll and De Blaise's old radnnan opened tho door. “Why, Tom, what does all this mean ? Where is Henry and the rest of the servants, and your mistress and the madam?” “Tho servants were all discharged, and the mistress was stolen out of the house night after you left, and the mad­ am, why, I don’t know where she is, cither.” De Blaise wm standing in tbe hall, while Tom was explaining the strange and sudden change. The library door was standing oj>en, and De Blaize, looking more like a dead man than one alive, reeled and staggered into the room where he had last seen tho two injured beauties. The chair in which Lonora refused to sit, in his presence, still stood in the same place as it did when he left the room on the day of his departure for Springfield. Sick at heart, and thoroughly con­ vinced that it would be nselena to at­ tempt to find either of the ladies, he surrendered all hopes and himaelf to his present bitter fate. The two men guarding him never left his ride, and scarcely removed their eyes from his face. It was evident from the expression ou the prisoner's face that he was men­ tally suffering almost more than he could bear. For some time he stood gazing aronnd the room from dne object to the other, evidently seeing nothing, but remembering everything that had hapKned in that room, when suddenly he iked steadily into the faces of the two men guarding him. and in tone* strange aud hollow, that were entirely foreign to him, he said: , “I nm now man enough to realize that I never was one before, but I was a rogue, a villain—-aye, worse, I was a brute! “In Illis very ipom I have, no doubt, uttered the words that caused the d -ath of her—whom—I—really—did— love; oh, my God! how much I cannot tell, and never knew until now!” The' last few words were scarcely audible, so low and hollow wm his voice. He sank down in tho chair by his side, sad covering his face with his hands, he wept like a child., Finally the sobs grew fainter; ho looked up at the men. with pule, parched bps, and haggard, tear-stainud face. With some difficulty he arose from tho chair, scarcely a shadow of what he was the last time ho sat there. “Oh, would to God it wm in. my power to undo the wrougs of my past life! but no, that cannot be. “My xodl must go to hell nnd my heart burn forever for the redemption of those sins." As he '-eased speaking he cast a pleading glance nt the men at his side, as if it were in their power to relieve him in some way, but finding • no reKjfonse to his silent pleading a deep moan of unutterable misery e« aped his lips, from the very depths of liis mis­ erable wicked soul. “Oh, if you have no mercy on me then shoot me. Heli and otetn d dumuatifin would b • l»etter than this horrible mental misery. "My God, m m, it is tearing mv heart mid s’nnl from my body. Sh n>t me, for Heaven's sake.” Almost before the words escaped Sylveiter’s lips a li'.t’e stream of blood rushed from one corner of his mouth and went trickling down the side of his pale cheek, flowing in a little stream to the floor. Befor* the Mionishe:! guards ould recover their pr s >nce of mind to at­ tempt to check the flow of blood, a pistol wm fired from behind the cur­ tains of the arched doorway and the hnltet entered Sylvester De Blaise's heart.

Were there not the best of evidence to the contrary, we might suppose that this raid of Stuart through Maryland and into Pennsylvania on the right flunk of tho marching Army of the Potomac wm intended as a piece of bravado, to terrify Washington, and perplex and mystify our Generals. It is known, however, that the raid had the direct sanction of General Lee; the latter hoping that Stuart might harass the rear of the Union army and delay their crossing of the river until the Army of Northern Virginia equid get a good start , into Pennsylvania. After that he wm to puss between the Union army and Washington and Bal­ timore, and rejoin Lee in Pennsylvania. The first part of the programme failed, for Hooker’s army hail crossed when Stuart reached the Potomac, at DrainesviUe. Fording the river, the latter began his raid. His connte led him almost in sight of Washington, and something like a panic wm caused thereby the knowledge, os well as at Baltimore, which he skirted a few days later. On the 28th he captured a large supply-train at Rockville, which was going toward Frederick; on the next day he had reached the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, between the two lust named cities, and occupied a part of the day in burning bridges and tearing up the track. It must have been on this day— June 29, 1863, that I had my intro­ duction, by no means a pleasant one, to a company of Stuart's cavalry that was scouring the country almost as far west m Frederick. It wm about this time that the Army of the Po­ tomac reached the latter place on their way north; yet on the day I speak of they had not arrived there, and there­ fore I may be in some confusion as to tho dates. No matter; it is the ad­ venture, not the particular time of it, that ia of importance. I had been dispatched ahead of the moving army to make arrangements for signal stations at and alxmi Fred­ erick. I wm well acquainted there, having been there much in the pre­ vious year. It wm a good, loyal town, aud always had a welcome for the Union army. I put bp at tho hotel, 4nd, with another Lieutenant (Hal­ stead by name) and a squad of men, went at once about my duty. Halstead and I rode out about a mile east of the town, accompanied by a sergeant The latter rode on a little pray, while we stopped to make an obPresently the Sergeant came tear­ . ing back like mad. , “The rebe are coming!" he shouted. They were, indeed. Three of them were in sight, spurring over a distant rise of ground, and the Sergeant said there waa a whole company behind them. We lost no time ia making for I Frederick with all speed. The Sergeant got in safely, and I ^should have had no trouble iu doing ao, hail not Halstead’s horae fallen lame. He told me to leave him and attend to myaelf. Our pursuers were so near now that we could hear their shouta, “Halt! Halt!" I urged my companion to do the beat he could, and lingered .to encourage him. I looked back. One of the raiders wm much in advance of the other two; 'more were in right dowfi the road; the one nearest us m m eaaily within pistolriiot. I saw him reaching for his re­ volver, and heard his repeated shout, “Holt, Yank! halt, or TH fire!" I an­ ticipated his kind intention*, aud fired myaelf with good aim. He fell forward Ten minutes hail not passed when a ! negro came running in with tho news that “De rebels is cornin’—in de town now. aah ?” • “Yo* can hide in de garret, honey!” ■said a sympathetic “aunty." I wm about to take this advice when tho thought that the finding of my horse would l»c sure to betray my pres­ ence. determined me to another course. If I must be taken it would be bettor to be taken on my horse than hiding in a garret. I ran out, mounted, and dashed into the street. There was a prompt cry behind me, “Halt!” I paid no atten­ tion to it, but spurred down the street .with a carbine ball whistling past my mead. j I had not gone far when a mounted pan appeared ahead of me, nnd there was another call, “Halt—aurrender!" The whole town wm bring picketed. ■ I turned into a side street just m a squad of s dozen or more horsemen galloped along from the direction of the hotel. There wm a chorus of yells, “Halt, Yank!" “Surrender, Yank!" quickly followed by a scattering volley. None of the balls touched me, but my horse stumbled to his knees. He is a lucky man, who. going at tho pace that I wm. is able to keep his seat in that situation. I did, clinging to saddle and neck, with feet out of the stirrups. Tho horse got to his feet again, and just then, when it seemed as though capture was sure, a woman came to the door of tho house near the road and beckoned mo to ride through a narrow lane. I did so, put some outbuildings between me nnd the road, went through an orchard nnd a grove, and got past a pair of bars into another road. The maneuver completely “threw off” mv pursuers for the time. They fol­ lowed me, but were some tune in finding my course. I took tho oppor­ tunity to make a hasty examination of my horse. To my surorise and joy I found him unhurt! Ho had chanced to stumble at tho instant the shots were fired, but not a bnllet struck him. Ho wm a strong, fleet animal, and to him I owe my deliverance from the perils of that day. I had ridden some distance along tho road I had now reached when I aaw far off the figure <tf a horseman on some rising ground. Another picket— tlii* was tho Baltimore pike. 1 turned into a field and rode south. All my safety now wm in reaching the road to Rockville and WMhington, the enemy was between me and that upon which our army wm advancing. ' My nil vent-ire was by no means in­ tended. A map of the woods and lanes through which I mode my way that afternoon, in the effort to evade my pursuers and get dawn to the Monocacy Crossing, three miles below, would be a study. More than or.ce I almost ran upon mounted pickets, or two or three horsemen scouring about, but my good /ortune, which hail be­ friended me so well at the start, did not desert me, and three days later I rode into Georgetown. The newa^of my adventure had pre­ coded me. My pursuit out of Fred­ erick and the stumbling of my horse had been witnessed by people who knew mo well, and a ladv coining to Georgetown had brought th.) account, ending with my death by tho bullets of Stuart’s men! This had been tele­ graphed to my homo in New York, and some telegraphing from me wm necessary to change the mourning of my relatives over my untimely end to joy at my escape.

But with us it was do or die, make or do without; and with this incentive to exertion we proved apt scholars, and were not long in achieving a degree of perfection in our different lines, sur­ prising even to ourselves. In the manufacture of ovr hats we need palmetto. We gathered this while in the bud. when it was pure white, be­ fore it had expanded or turned green. These long, spear-like buds, which ntraally meMurea two foot in length, we carefully pulled apart, and then dried them in the shade. We then tore them into shreds about an eighth of an inch wide, which was done with a common pin or needle. Afterward we braided these shred* a ^at pltut half an inch wide, with a notched edge. When we had made a sufficient quantity for » hat, which was fifty or sixty yards, clipped off every protruding end, then dampened the plait and ironed it well with a moderately hot iron. The braid was then sewed together with a strong thread, aud formed into a hat of any desired shape.

In a down-town restaurant in Chi_____ «ego John Gilmore sat at dinner. With a very discontented expression of countenance he was “jabbing” with his fork a piece of pumpkin pie which ho had just ordered, seemingly determined that that particular piece should never know another victim. . His.thoughts ran somewhat on this wise: “Call that pumpkin pie! A yel­ low akin oyer a piece of soggy dough!" Then, through the association of ideas, his thoughts turned to that home in . Ohio where his mother, at this season of the.year, always served daily the luscious pie. rich us new milk, fresh eggs ipid golden pumpkin could make it. But that home was broken up, and all its inmates scattered; none of the numerous kinfolk near the old place but Aunt Sally Penrose, while he, after ten years of. struggle in’ this modern Babylon—Chicago—at the age of thir­ ty, was only just beginning to catch a glimpse of the, way t> fortune; fame he never expected, Then his mind re­ verted to the stabbed pie, and he said to himself, for ho never condescended to scold waiters about things for which they were not responsible, bring a gen­ tleman; “I can't eat this; it’s more than human stomach can endure. I be­ lieve I will go back to Brookville and «ee the old place and dear old Aunt Sally. Next week is Thanksgiving, and I can ^nanago to get off two or -three days. I’ll never marry until I can find a woman who can make pump­ kin pies as my mother could." With a final critical glance at the offending food, he took his hat and de­ parted. That evening he wrote to his aunt telling her of his intended visit, and in duo time received a reply so kind and cordial that it warmed his rather lonely heart and touched his conscience for not having gone before. Thanksgiving morning John Gilmore was wakened by the unwonted sound of crowing cocks and lowing cows. For a few momenta he was dazed, then he remembered that tho night before ho had reached Brookville, had been mot at the station by his uncle James and taken to tbe farm on the edge of the little village, had sat late talking to his aunt, and finally, when snugly enjKxmsed between the' white sheets, had fallen into such a dreamless sleep as he hail not known in years. After breakfast Aunt Sally said: “John, it’s union service to-dsv, and will be held in the Methodist Churoh. Our preacher will preach— the Presby­ terian. You’ll go, won’t yon?" John hesitated, and then said, .“Yea." He had some thought of tak­ ing a long walk through the leafless wood, where in boyhood he hail known every nook and corner. The day was so bright, the air so crisp, that it was a great jrieee of self-denial to give it up. But, as he had to stay till the fast express Sunday night, he concluded to spend an orthodox Thanksgiving — preaching, dinner, and alt He hadn’t beard any old-fashioned preaching lately. To be sure, he had every Sun­ day beard Professor Rope discuss the questions, political' and secular, which had interested the public during the preceding week, but, barring the tex\ it bore very little relation to its nnti-quated relative, the “gospel sermon." Arrived at the church, he found him­ self seated well up in front. His aunt fowed and smiled to many; he saw no familiar face. His manhood hud btx-n ■employed in the great struggle for foot­ hold, so that bis old friends hod been Hropped, and he had not formed many new acquaintances. In thia atmos­ phere of homely, cheery friendliness he felt like an intruder. 'Just back of the preacher was seated the choir, oomjsised of the members of all thb differ­ ent churches in the village. He was pleased with the sensation of interest the pretty, fresh faces of the girls gave him.' He joined in the singing of “Coronation" and other old hymns, and listened to the sermon, apparently •as interested as any one there. It was a simple effort, suited to the occasion and the heirers, but, by its absence of pretension, it refreshed him. At the close a general hand-shaking was indulged in. and he was introduced to many persona who hod known his lat her and mother. •“John,” said Aunt Sally, “it’s our •torn this year to go to Mrs. Grey’s to iinner. We take year about, the Grays, Steels, and our folks; so, if you • ill, you may fast walk over with "the jther young folks through the meadow *ed we will t^ke Uncle Billy Gregg tome in your phrs. I was so flurried Last night I forgot to toll you.” Sghtad to walk through the meadow, must introduce me to my com­ I don't know them, even by don't’" exclaimed <nti| Sally. | John, thia is Bulb Gray. It u» to her ' home we are going," she explained to him; “she will take care of you, and make you acquainted with the other young folk.*." ' John, who was unaccustomed to the society of young ladies, instead of mak­ ing complimentary speeches about her guardianship, bowed gravely, and walked by her aide across the road to tho big ‘ gate which led into the meadow. He opened it and let her through, and found himself, with her, following a small procession, which proved to be the “other young folks." Ruth at first felt shy of him, as he was n city mon, but soon concluded hf was bashful; and then, being naturally kind-hearted, set herself to entertain­ ing him by talking of the sermon, tho weather, and other commonplace top­ ics, until they reached the old-fttahioned farm-houae. ’ Tho dinner was a breve affair. The guests, some twenty ar thirty, sat at one long table, graced with turkey, of course, cranberry sauce, ]>otatoen, white and light as a snow-mound, half a dozeu iSnJs of vegetables, stands of plumy cclerv, luscious jelly, preserves ol every kind, and cakes: in fact, all the prodigal profusion of a country | Thanksgiving dinner. To John the crowning glory was a goodly array of pumpkin pies ’which graced ’ tho side­ board. Ruth, with two of her young friends, waited on them all, handing the coffee, heaping the plates, and cut­ ting tho pie. This last operation John watched with interest, for pumpkin pie cannot be cut properly by a careless hand. Ruth cut it with two quick strokes, leaving a clean edge of deli­ cious custard and an unbroken crust After the repast John, whose reserve had thawed under the influence of the good things of which he had partaken, said to Mrs. Gray: "You must let me thunk vou for that delicious pumpkin pie. It -wav as good as my mother’s, and that is the highest praise I could Mrs. Gray looked pleased and said : ‘Tm glad yon liked it. Ruth inode it; she was up at five o'clock so as to have them fresh. She save if there is any­ thing detestable it is a pumpkin pie with crust soaked till it is soggy.” The older folks had assembled in the parlor, but the younger jmjople who had eaten remained in the dining-room for the fun of waiting on the "waiter*,” which John soon dis­ covered, and thought ho would like to try. He found his way back, and wks soon busy tilling the plate of Ruth, whom he had elected to serve, so full that she laughed and said: “Mr. Gil­ more, you must have a great opinion of my jiowera of digestion. ” Ho looked a little teased as M contemplated the pyramid ho hail ju* constructed, took the vacant seat nt her side and said to her: “I thought you misfit have an appetite; making pies at six o’clock in the morning is hungry work." “Did mother tell you that?” she asked: “No; I asked her, in a manner.” “I had my breakfast afterwards," said Ruth, ‘‘but you may bring mo a piece of pie now, if you please." Ho went to the sideboard to do her bidding. As ill luck would have it, there was none cut, so ho took the knife in his unskillful hand and held fast to the plate, but not to the pie, which went slipping to the floor spat­ tering him well in its descent. Ruth, who had been watching him, saw the mishap, which none of the others had jjoticed, came quickly’ to the rescue, and soon hud the pie deftly cleaned up and in the kitchen, whore sho indulged in the laugh, which bar politeness and sympathy for his discomfiture for­ bade, and no one the wiser. "You may be a good lawyer, but you are a poor butler," remarked Ruth. The rest of the afternoon was spent in walking about the fields, eating nuts and drinking cider around the fire. But the best part of the day was the evening, for it was the custom of these good people to stay till ten o’clock. The long kitchen was cleared', and every one, old and young, played games—“Puss in the Corner, ” "Blind Man’s Buff," and such like. Ruth was blindfolded. Buch scamj>ering and giggling, as she dashed wildly around the room! With arms uplifted, she brought them down on the shoulders of John, who, to tell the truth, made no great effort to escape. With one hand she clasped his neck affectionate­ ly. while the other slid down his nose till it struck his mustache. This set­ tled the question of his identity, as he was the only person present so adorned. With her hand still unconsciously about his neck, she took the bandage off her eyes, while he, with an audacity new to him. said, softly, “A delightful situation, if it could only last longer.” Ruth, becoming conscious of it, blushed brightly and withdrew her hand. "Turn around; you are caught; have to be ’it,*" quoth Ruth. "Yes, and by you," be softly answer­ ed, as be turned to have tbe handker­ chief bound over his eyes, enjoying the sensation of making a pretty girl blush, and his own newly acquired boldness. The next day, as m duty bound, John called on his late hostess, found Ruth at home, and persuaded her to walk with him through the leafless woods, which, to a true lover of nature, are almost as pleasurable as in their early leafing. He showed her where he had'played in his boyhood, told her of bis childish pranks, and something of bis present mode of life. In the inter­ change of confidences sho told him that she taught in the little white school­ house at the forks of the Madisonville road: of her experiences at Normal School, and of her home life. In that one short afternoon they learned more of each other's tastes and habits than first time only three days ago? seems to me I’vo known you a year. “And I you," rejoined Ruth, holding out her hand in partiug. "As you'll not come in--gv:»d-by." If kissing hands had not been so long obsolete that hand would have re­ ceived a goodly number, but John con­ tented himself with a uqueezo, painful to Ruth, but borno heroically. That night, as the midnight train whistled at the station, one sweet country maiden said to herself: “I wonder if I will ever zoo him again." And. then, having formed,this good habit, fell soundly asleep among her pillows. And John, the long night through, made plans to see her again, till the train drew into tho station at Chicago, and business replaced senti­ ment. A few days later Ruth received by mail a letter and small package. The package proved to be a book; the let­ ter, an apologf for sending the former. John wrote: “I saw this little l:o>k’ and the poem where the leaf is turned down reminded me so strongly of our delightful walks together that I ven­ tured to send it. Will you aisurc me of your forgiveness by one line, telling me you received it ?" Tho pudin was Lucy Larcom’s “ No­ vember.” The first verso of it brought smiles and blushes to Ruth’s face: I heard h»r slug in wood-path* dim. The letter of forgiveness was duly sent, daintily soiled with wax showing the imprint. “Forget me not,” above the initia’s “R. G.” This injunction John followed so faithfully that the mail nt Brookville increased to such an extint that it has hopes of becoming a fourth-class of­ fice. Before the “frost was on the punkin’’ the next year Ruth was mistress of a cozy flat in Chicago. and John the head uf that sainfr establishment.

The hat has fur and feathers on it, and the name spoils of robbery from beasts and birds cover the front of the gown from collar to hem. The art id adorn­ ment in dress is applying itaeiF to dec­ orative uses of dur 'and frathors com­ bined,and nil tlic effects of embroidery are produced with those materials, os in this instance. The design of the dress itself is in tbe fashion of Louis XVI., pure and simple, the redingoto being of dark-gray velvet, while the embroideries and garnitures of fur and feathers are intermixed with silk and steel. The small turban bat of gray vldvet is almost hidden under the mass of gray fur and ostrich feathers. The tiny muff is a mixture of the same color in -fur aud feathers, with a bit of blue velvet to match tho same touch of color in tho bonnet. There is cmc freak of fashion not shown in that picture, and deserving of suppression in every way, although it has come into considerable favor. That is the revival of thick and ample veils. These arc not only diode to cover the face, but they ore swathed across tho back of tbe head aud around the neck in an inartistic manner. Be­ sides, they suggest that the wearer has a face which will not stand bright day­ light exposure. A bit of aceciiote is appropriate.

Then, says the narrative, his eyes kindled, his inti rest was aroused; aud when the grammar class recited, he raid. "I want to be u school-boy again." He took a sent with us, and iiarsed with us, declining the verbs and so forth. We all enjoyed it very much. When all was through, and Mr. Barker arose to make some ra­ marks, he took up the little Mental Arithmetic, held it in his extended hand, and these were the words ho said: “I have lived over this afternoon some of the happiest remembrances of my school-days. When a boy my father was very poor, and had a large family. We lived in a log house. The owner ship of books was quite out of the question; so one of a kind answered for all, and our whole soul yearned for learning. ’This particular time if which I speak, at the commencement of the term, the teacher held up in his hand, as I do this, a Mental Arithmetic. •Whoever bears the best examination in this study at the close of the term,’ said he, ‘shall have this book.* Such a prize, to me, was never offered before nor since.

It hadn’t struck me that way. I fancied that it suggested quite another being with abnormal ears." As to what may be called the attri butes of evening’toilets, some of the bonbonnieres are very pretty. They are in the shape of a large silk hand­ kerchief tied cornerwise and having sprays of green and purple graj>es ona leaves showing at each corner. The handkerchiefs are in the brightest mixture of color, and in rich silk. Others are in the form of a gigantic green nut, with the nut made m satin, the calyx in velvet The newest handkerchiefs have broad borders com­ posed of several lines of silk thread in bright colors, and the. edges finished in tiny scallops, buttonlioled in the same colors. They are of the finest batiste, and the colors are principally red, blue, yellow, and mauve. It is'a cus­ tom now to carry several handkerchiefs ut once, disposed in different ]>ockets or other receptive places in the toilet, and these are taken out, for use or dis­ play, according to handiness or the whim of the belle. The fashionable tendency of floral decoration is toward more simplicity and more artistic arrangement. Refined people are be­ ginning to recognize that flowers should not l>c tortured into impossible and ridiculous shapes, uud that the more natural tho effect produced, tho more beautiful. Much importance is now attached to the auxiliaries of the toilet, aud in view of the fact that they supply the effect of the same they can­ not be held insignificant. Of the orna­ ments worn in the house, the oldfashioned buckle with sharp teeth for holding the bplt and ribbon is again in vogue, and comes into play upon many stylish gowns. Stones in real jewels are mounted in showy de­ signs, as, for instance, blue topaz in an elegant buckle of crescent shape, and Arizona garnets in one of star shape. A ruin-, a catseye, a dian*nd and a sapphire ornament, a buckle shaped like an agraffe, the Stones being cut in Cabochon style, without facets. A new fan is to have odd coins from foreign countries mounted up as pins to hold draperies or girdles. The Peruvian collar affords a pleasing specimen, be­ ing particularly handsome in design. There are no great changes in jewelry this season. Flower pins, in small shape, continue to be worn. The new­ est pins more closely approach the open brooch-shape worn by our grandmoth­ ers than anything recently made. Single pansies, single daisies, small passion­ flowers and sweet peas are all popular, but the newest pins«.re little open cir­ cles and plaques of white or blue enamel, set with diamonds, turquoisee, A little girl wanted more buttered toast, and was told that she had had enough, and that more toast would aertainly make her sick. “Well," ahe said, “give iuf onuzzer piece and send for the doctor right away.” A little girl was walking with her governess. They met a man with a club foot, nt whom the child looked a little wonderingly ai ho passed, and then laughed. “You must not laugh at him,” said the gpverness. “Why not?" “God made that mon." “Humph!" said the child. “It must have been the first man he made!” Little Ixa, nearly five years of age, »et oat to visit school one day, aa gay ns n lark, but returned after the ses­ sion with rather a careworn expression of countenance.

Mr. Maxim reluctantly left bis models at hia hotel and took only photographs w'lth Him. aoou as the introduction wasovM. Mr. Maxim explained that ho had not brought it owing to a hint he bad received from the War Minister that the Czar would not havo time to examine it. The Czar ex­ pressed bis disappointment, but Mr. Maxim at once sat down with his book of photo­ graphs and began to explain tho merits of His invention. He says ho has stftn all the great so Idlers of: this generation and dis­ cussed guns with them, but ho never found bo attentive or intelligent a listener aa tho Czar. The Interview lasted two hours, and was renewed the next day at tho request of tho Emperor, who mado another appointmeat with tiic understanding that Mr. Maxim should bring his gun with him. Mr. Maxim says that no one can look in the Czar's face without being convinced ot the absurdity of tho stories that are printed about his.drunkcnnoaa and brutality in the English papers.

From my earliest recollection, when going into a trash pasture for tho cows or for berries, my good mother would caution me to “look out for snakes," or “dont let the snakes catch youand during those early years I heard awful storieH nbrat snakes, which created a fear of them from which I have Buffered much, and I suppose that has been the experience of the average New England boy. Now, I earne«tly protest against tliut kind of education, as it proves an clement of great discomfort to childr. n in after life. Snakes arc perfecUy harmless (excepting the venomous species) and us timid as birds, and children should lie taught so, and they should no more be allowed to be cruel io a snake than to a frog or a turtle. When young I heard the maxim, “If you kill the first snake you see, it is a sign you conquer your enemies." And also,* “Break tho first brake and kill the first, snake, and it will insure good luck for the year.” Unnecessary cruelty to anything that has life should be cen­ sured. It is now to me a pitiful sight to sec a man tarn aside to pnrvae s' little in­ nocent snake, as harmless ns a fly and not half so annoying, os though some dire calamity was to be averted by his success in destroying it. Although I must confess to having done tho same thing and practiced much cruelty to­ ward them, it was simply the result of education; and now, since I have thor­ oughly made their acquaintance, I feel disposed in some small measure to oitone for my past indiscretions. In youth I was" taught to regard toads with diBgUMt, no less than tho snake, but not with the same dread. I was told that to handle them would cause uiy bauds to be covered with warts, etc. I have since known people who were fond of playing .with them, and I now call to mind a lady of culture and refinement who would catch a-toad and pet it, tell it what pretty eyes it had, call it one of God's beautiful, beauti­ ful creatures, and lay it against her face as a child would a pet bird. Toads andzsaakeii are equally harmleac, but neither of them have any attraction for me; still I can lie merciful toward them.—Forest and Stream.

Statistics show that on an average every bit of prop­ erty in the county passes through the hands of the probate court once in every 83 years.

Barry is the only connty in this con­ gressional district which ia thus reck­ less of her property, all the other counties having substantial buildings costing from $50,000 to $100,000, in which they keep their county records securely. This county is abundantly able to and should have a county build­ ing in which her valuable records could be kept secure from danger by fire. Such a budding would cost, say, $50,000. A large snm, yes; but when viewed in the light of what the ex­ pense would be to the tax-payers in­ dividually, nothing so alarming after all. Less than one half of one per cent of the assessed valuation. Suppose we make.it into three equal payments, running three years—less than onesixth of one per cent. Is it too high a price to pay for a secure receptacle for our county record*, and a decent "place in which to transact tbe business of the commonwealth. We think not And we think also, that the county board of supervisors should not let the January session pars without allowing the people to express their opinion on the matter. Certainly the fact stands out prom­ inently that Barry county badly needs and ought to have a new court house, and we believe that the progressive people of the county would, If given an opportunity, express themselves in favor of building one, and that by a good round majority.

CHAPTER XVIII. • "Oh, musses, musses, for de heben’s sake what am yo’ poo’ diggar agowin* to do? De vury ingels of de hebens am scornin' down beer, an’ am now at de vury gates ob dis house." "Tnomas, what do you mean ? Are you ill this morning, or has this beau­ tiful, clear, frosty weather aroused your feelings, and caused you to come to me, jesting in this manner?” "No, mum; Fsa not ill, neider am I afoolin’, but am in de deepest kin’ a’ arnest. Ef yo’ am not ableviu me. come along an’ see fur yo’self; I tell yo' she am at de gat?." ' “Whatcan you mean. Thomas? What you say is impossible, and more than that, you never saw an angel, and. of course you do not know what they' are like." , "Of course, mum, I never sees" an angel afore, but dis un must be one, ’cause it looks jist like what my big liook says them am. Yo’ see, I was a brusin’ de snow oft’ ob de walk, an', L’d o’ mercy, when I comes to de gate, dere wus ou de step a mighty big, rough-lookin’ sort o’ box, an' I jist pulled up de lid, an', L’d o' mercy, de purtlest pictur' I eber did set me eyes on was was in dat box. " Twa-H an angil, mum, wid de purtieat yallar curls, an’ de purtiest white face dat eber was. Now, mum, come along an’ see fo’ vo’self.” Something in Toms manner caused Mrs. Bristol to think'more seriously of the matter, and she threw a fur-liaed circular over her head nnd shoalders, and followed Tom to the front gate. To her great surprise, there wus the l>ox that her servant had described, and when he raised the lid she shrank back, uttering a faint scream. Her face was as white as tbe snow at her feet, and she was trembling from head to foot. Sure enough, there in that miserablel<M>kiug box was a human being, or,'was 9 as Tom had said: “An angel from de Hebens alx>ve?” The old lofly could scarcely believe her own eyes,’neither could she'im­ agine how the box nnd its inmate could have got there. Certainly a stronger thing had never happened before, and Tom waa cer­ tainly right, for a prettier picture she had never seen. As Mrs. Bristol stood gazing down at the pale, beautiful face, the heavy eye­ lids were raised, and two great beauti­ ful dark eyes looked steadily into herf. “Oil, you are another stranger, but vou look kind," and the tears came into Lenora’s eyes. Just then a little gnst of wind swept across the lawn, and tossed about the golden curls that were scattered over the pillow. "Oh, oh! I am no chilly, .and where —where un I?" She raized upon her elbow and gazed round over the spark­ ling bed of snow; but, seeing her sur­ roundings, she realized that something terrible nad happened. She sank back on her pillow, paler than ever, while the heavy lids drooped, and she scarce­ ly seemed to breathe. Mrs. Bristol watched her closely, and as Lenora sank back exhausted, the tears came into this good, kind, noble woman's eyes, and uh? said: “Thomas, bring the young lady into the house, and ' take lier to my room. I see she is ill, and does not know how ahe came here, and I will take care of her aa if she were my own until she is better. Poor, beautiful girl. I fear she has hod much trouble in her short Ufa." Mrs. Bristol was a widow, and an English lady; her former home was Sheffield, England, but, preferring the free, beautiful lands of the United States, she hod concluded to make it hex Jiome. Being a lady of great wealth, ahe mode her home, the Bristol estates, very beautiful. The Bristol mansion and estates were arranged entirely in the English style, and Mrs. Bristol, a woman of aristo­ cratic nature, was a beautiful mistress itoghi roid« curb scattered over his sfioutder, looking, in the sunlight, like a creai, pile of the pure dust The trio had reached the great hall door, and were ascending the broad marble steps to Mrs. Bristol’s private rooms. “Lay her down ’ gently, Thomas; there, that will do, and you did very nicelw. It is necessary that a physician should see her, and you may go' to the city immediately and bring one.” Tom was off like a flash, only too much pleased to do something for “his purty angel.” Mrs. Bristol did not wait until the doctor came to bring Lenora out of that dead faint, bnt with her own hands immediately applied effective restoratives, and soon she was reward­ ed, for the lids were slowly raised and again those beautiful eyes gazed into hers. “Is that you, Gertana? You will take me away to-dav, won’t you? You ore my only good, kind friend, and you won’t allow him to colfic near me any more, will you? T know you won’t, for you promised me you would not." As she erased speaking, a sweet, sad smile played about her pale lips, and the long, black, curling lashes again laid on the soft, white cheek. “Ah! how strange this is; those eyes, the most beautiful I ever suw, seem to recall my childhood's happy days. The face, the roice, and the expression haunt me as a dream of the past!” The Doctor soon arrived, and hasten­ ed to the patient’s room; he carefully examined her, and then looked strange­ ly at Mrs. Bristol. “Is she dangerously ill, Doctor?,” “No; for the present she must not be disturbed. She has been given a heavy dose of chloroform, and is still under its influence somewhat. If ahe does not receive the very best of care brain fever will set iu. ami with such a delicate jx-rson os she tho case would be doubtful." “I will see thot nothing is left undone. Doctor." The physician left, feeling assured that his new patient was in good hands. Sometimes the days seemed a little long to Mrs. Bristol, now, since the weather was too disagreeable for her to take her accustomed drive; and since her only-sou, a young man of twentysix, was 'not at home and would not lie until the holidays, she could scarcely find enough to do to pass the time Ofcourse, she had Jeannette Nathan, a young lady twenty-two jrears of age, who had always lived in the Bristol family, who now she seemed like a daughter tu Mrs Bristol. But Jeannette's time was occupied in different ways, and her mxxl adopted mother did‘not get much benefit of her society. As the doctor left the mansion Jean­ nette's quick eye spied him, jind her cariosity of course was excited. .She wss the favorite of the mansion and an acknowledged belle of society. As yet she knew nothing of the strangelooking box and its conbnts for when the discovery waa made she was still lost in sweet ilrenms. Seeing the doc­ tor leave the house, she wns afraid that Mrs. Bristol wss ill. aud immediately went to her aunt's rooms. “Oh, Auntie Marguerite, are you ill, or wlrnt is the matter?” The large black eyes of tbe tall, slender girl glanced round the room and rested on the form of the little stranger lying on her aunt's bed. “Why, Auntie, what does this mean? Who and what is that strange patient ?" They had walked to the bedside and wore looking down at the liesutiful pale face. "I do not know who sheis, Jeannette, but this is evidently a very frail, ten­ der little laxly, and, indeed, very beau­ tiful I have not tho ngnotest idea who she is, but the face for some rea»tin or other strangely affects me.” ■’But who brought her here? Hhe was not in the house last night.” Mrs. Bristol told Jeannette all the particulars concerning the box; also what the Doctor had said. “Hum 1 A very strange way, indeed, for any one to enter here. No doubt she is an adventuress, and of exceed­ ingly low character, coming to attack Raynard." ■ Mrs. Bristol did not agree with Jean­ nette on tliis subject, but she did not say so. The kind-hearted woman hail taken a fancy to her little patient, and was determined, if possible, to see whether the innocent, childish expression was real or not. Suddenly the eyes of tho little sup­ posed adventuress opened, and she gazed at the two ladies at her side; she lifted her little soft, white hand, and extended it to Jeannette. Z*Ah! you are still here, Gertana, my dear, good friend, and you. too, nurse. You must be very tired. Go, lie down awhile and rest yourself. You are nil no kind but him. Oh. he was so cruel! I wish I could have died then!” As Lenon* extended her hand toward the supposed Gertana Jeannette saw the bright flash of the diamond ring on her finger, and she then mentally de­ cided that it was a stolen one, or that it hsd l>een obtained from some of the j oor victims of her treacherous lieautyLenora sjightly raised herself upon her elbow that she might get a letter look at her friend, but Instantly she shrank back, with a low, startled cry. “Who are vou? and where am I? What can all this mean, for overy- taken me away from u»y Gertana, my only friend on earth.” The poor Jone girl sank back on the pillow, weary and exhausted, ss Jean­ nette, with a somewhat cold, scornful look on her handsome face, shrank from the b.*d,Yand soon left the room. Mrs. Bristol went to the bedside and The grounds were spacious and took the little cold hand in her gentle, lieantiful, situab-d about two miles warm ctipv. north of Michigan City, and on the bank of Lake Miclugac. . you are with .friends, and no one in this The neat lilt to tenant houses could house wishes to. harm you in any way.

I do not know who brought vou here, and ▼ou were asleep when I first saw you.” ’ Lenon* smiled faintly, and Mrs. Bris­ tol continued: “Where were you when yon last re­ member, and who is he that you do not wont tosee?"' “I was not at my home, and you surely know that it is not hero in Chi­ cago. The man that I so fear is my worst enemy. Oh, please keep him from me." And. she closed her eyes, while her hands trembled with fear. “You are not in Chicago now, my dear, and not even in. the State of Illi­ nois. but in the extreme northwestern part of Indiana. Be calm, my child, and do not worry, for you are safe, and I will care for you." ' Lenora looked at the kind, sweet face before her with a pleased smile. “How strange it all is. I was ia Chicago last night, where I went to sleep, und now I am so far away from it. I must. have be*n transported b£ some good fairy, or, jierhajM it was one of Aladdin’s slaves, and this is his pal­ ace, while you are Lis good, kind, low­ ing mother?" Mrs. Bristol could not help smiling at Lenora's comparison. "I am a widow, my dear, and I havo an only son, also, but my home is noth­ ing to compare to Aladdin's place, for I would be like the Sultan and much worse. You are too weary to talk any more, and I beg of you to rest now. * Lenora nestled among the soft pil­ lows like a beautiful little kitten that had been petted to its heart’s content, and Mrs. Bristol went to the farther part cf the room and sat down to think. “Jeannette must be mistaken about this girl, for it does not seem possible that such u sweet, innocent-looking face could be deceitful. I am satisfied for the present and shall try and find out more about her when she is better.” While Mrs. Bristol was sitting by the gate toasting her fingers by tho glowing heat, she was not aware what was going on just outside of her room. Tom hod found the papers that Hutchinson had put in the l»ox with Lenora, und was bringing them to his mistress, but Jeannette met tho servant at the head of tho stairs and asked him what he had. Tom told her that he had found the roll in the box and would gire it to his mistress“I .will give it to her, Tom; yon need not bother. There, that's a good fel­ low, now." And she took the papers, while Tom. pleased at her compliment, turned and went down stairs, while i-he crossed the broad, beautiful corridors to her own elegant apartment?. “Ah! And these were in tho box that that strange, beautiful newcomer came in. J will keep them for my own use just at present, for I am deter­ mined, if possible, to find out who she it. These papers may can tain the de­ sired information." ' The curious, cunning girl tons open the seals nnd unwrapped the roll; but, to her great astonishment, her »yes mot nothing but blanks. "Well! Who ever iu this world hoard toll of such a thing? How very strange! There must be some great mystery connected with that l»enutiftil girl. Can she possibly lie a real ad­ venturess ?" In her astonishment She hod dropped the pajiers. Slje stooped to pick them up, with a shrug of the ahoulclcn, ami a chuckling, low laugh ran through the room. “It makes no difference to me what she is, for certainly Aunt Marguerite will not allow her to remain here long­ er than is necessary. She will soon Imy able to leave here, und I need never fear anything in any way. “Oh, won’t I have a jolly time, though, when Raynard comes home. "To the opera we shall go; and, yes. every place of amusement, and, ob, iny! that grand ba'l we an* to have on Christmas! That will be perfectly de­ licious; no one .can wnltz. aa nicely as I, and Ray will waltz with no one else. I do not want that girl here. Some­ thing tells ni£ something will happen if Auntie does not send her right away. “Oh.’ oh I What tf, when Ray comes home—and—ond—she should Ik* here— and, oh. I dare not think of it! It would kill me, I believe, kill me! but pshaw' I know he would not be so foolish as to care at all for such as she. Only a little tramp, if not an adven­ turess.” She then went to the grate, and stood with claajN-d hands looking down at the bright coals, while in her own mind she was building bright and tow­ ering castles for the future. She hoped to be mistress of the Bristol mansion some day, and even now looked upon it us her own. “I know Ray loves me, because he acta just so. If that little tramp doe* stay here, what need I fear ?" And with a haughty toss of the head, she rang for her maid to dress her. ' That was her day for shopping, nnd as it was so lovely outdoors, she would start early. Under Mrs Bristol's careful nursing, Lenora ^rew rapidly better, and in a week’s time'the Doctor said she would bo able fo leave her bed. Of course the kind woman was greatly pleased over her pet patient's ^onvalesemee, bnt nev<-r once had she naked her any­ thing about her post life, or even her name. {TO BE COXTIML’Kn. 1 • Short and I’ithj. “Ami now, fellow-citizens," said the political orator, “I leave the subject with you.

It was dark as we passed Penang, city and island, one of the British “Straits Set­ tlements," but next day we reached tho more imjwrtaut island of Singa­ pore. The Captain took the steamer into Singapore harbor for water, and eve us just four hours to see the wxi. As, however, the town lies two mile* back from the harlior, and as we were half an hour hag­ gling with the Jews. Malays, negroes, and Chinamen who thronged the wharf for a conveyance, wo only had time to drive up and come right btu-k. I noticed tin* wo drove over low flats, which at high water are covered by the tide, but vhicdi twice a clnv form a broad ex­ panse of mud and refuse, rendering tho city very unhealthy. However, I also noticed that on each side and back of the city weie very beautiful wooded heights from which pe >ped many bun­ galows, and it is in that pleasanter lo­ cality that the rich Europeans reside. Folks who suffer from cold feet or chill* ought to go to Singapore. It is located right on the equator; the heat is excessive and doos not vary five de­ grees during the entire year.’ Steaming eastward from Singapore, we began to enter the archipelago— islands, islands, islands—large, small, and all sizes between, voloanio and otherwise. Passing down tho Java Sea we jkis ed Karimata and Baniea, both mountainous islands with their summits completely hidden away in the clouds, and for a louo time we* hnd the large islands of Borneo and Java on our left and right respectively. For two whole days we were steaming through these myriads of islands, and among them got a good view of Mount Bator, a very active volcano. We saw the smoke and flames very distinctly, though Bator was unusually quiet as we passed it The sail through the warm blue waters of the still Indian Ocrnn is mighty pleasant, and as one hardly ever loses sight of land there is nothing tedious about the trip. Now, alth-ugh navigation of the waters of the deep has been brought down to a pretty fine science, there are •till some out-of-the-way quarte rs where skippers have to go very slow, and sometimes hive to stop’ altogether. Torr.-s Straits is one of these place*— where the most northerly point of Aus­ tralia comes very close to the shores of New Guinea. These straits are foil of treacherous reef* and currents and hiddeu shoala, which have already proved fatal to many a gallant craft. However, each successive trip of a steamer with an intelligent captain letwens these dangers, for both the Queensland (Australia) Government and the En glihh Home Government are preparing reliable charte for mariners who navi­ gate riie intricate channel of Polynesia. No, fast steaming is not one of the of- words of the immortal Davy Crockett, “Be r-ure you're right, th->n go ahead." Osr captain agreed with Davy and eanu’ to an anchorage toward evening, where we lay until daylight. Then we ste'Lmexl on, and about noon I got my fiix: .ight o4 Australia—a ootmlry I seem to have plenty to eat and drink if pumpkins, pigs and poultry are the staple articles of diet. Somerset is the headquarters of tho Torres Straits Pearl Fisheries which, together with the fact that it is a coaling aud water­ ing station for steamers, gives it some importance. Those pearl fisheries give employment tA nearly a thousand men, most of whom are terrible “hard cases." Of course, Somerset being so close to New Guinea a good many of the savage South Sea Islanders come over there occasionally—indeed, some of them are employed right along in the pearl fisheries, as they are splendid divers. In appearance they axe very rcpellant, although if they would not interfere with the akin nature has given them they would be by no means badlooking fellows. Two of these, men whom I saw were completely covered with tattoo marks while, worst of all, their noses were split right down the middle. 1 ought to say that “pearls’ proper are not (otind in these Torres Straits Fisheries, but a mollusk known as “pearl shell." It is the article which is often called “mother-of-pearl,” from which are made all lands of fancy ar­ ticles, such ns card-cases, knife­ handled, etc. This, however, will fetch its high as $700 per ton in the London m >rket, consequently it is a valuable article of merchandise. ‘ There are about sixty boats engaged, averaging six or seven tons burden, and all built in Sydney, N. S. W. Each of tl.e»e Iwata with’ its outfit is worth quite $2,500, no that, with wages and oth» r expenses to pay, it will bo Mwn that an'enormous capital is sunk in that “side” industry of the world. After we left Somerset we were soon ont of sight of land again, although we were not very far from the Australian coast. We sighted it again off Cape Flattery, and then steamed with­ in sight of land until we ended our journey. St ven hundred miles from Somerset we come to Bowen, an incon­ siderable seaport, and then we encoun­ tered some of the finest coast scenery I have ever seen. On the shore are lines of bold- rocky cliffs, while rising from beliinil them are mountain* of no mean size, covered with beautiful foliage from base to crown. Ever and anon a rushing torrent camo pouring down rocky slo|>es, forming a miniature Niagara, while always on the,shore there was tho gentle ripple of the ebbing and flowing waves.

I was carrying on a des­ perate flirtation with a rather ancient girl I happened to meet at a Texas railroad station some year# ago. and while I was waiting for the train, which was nine hours behind time, the old man somehow got wind of the affair and came around with a preacher, a shot-gun and a bull-dog, and asked ma what mv intentions were. “I toid him that he had sprung the matter on me so suddenly that I was afraid my judgment might be unfairly biased, and that I would like to have a little time. “He seemed so impatient when I talked in this way that I concluded al­ most immediately, however, that I could not be happy in this world unless I could call his daughter my bride, and so we were married and she has never lost sight of me rance.

Quiet in bis demeanor, ho never gave way to cursing and swearing, even whan the worse for drink. He w fawning in his address, and was a general tarorite among the children ot the neighborhood, any one of whom would cheerfully run upon his errand.

After Burke's conviction he made a lull confession. In which, however, ho sought to show that in oaoh case Hare was tho actual murderer, as he had been the first one to suggest the execution of the crimes. According to Burke's statemeut the first victim was one Abigail Bimpson. a niiddtetwed woman enticed to the house by Hare's wife. She wo# carried to Haro's house at night, was induced to drink, went off in a dead sleep and was suffocated In tho early morning.

Numerous works have been written on “what to do in emergencies,” “firs* aid to tho’injnred," and kindred mibject«, all of tho eanio general tenor. As yet, so fat as I know, no ono has ever put forih a work on the preven­ tion of etnerg.-ncies. Of courae, there ore many cmergencimi which cannot bo prevented, but, >.ith judicioua care, some of them can. The frequent Btnta brought against ouqx>rations for dam­ ages following some avoidable accident shows tho necessity, from a financial view, of studying the l/est methods of preventing such emergencies. The sufferings of tho patient justify the study from a humane point of view. Poisoning cases as a rnltC ore inten­ tional ; that i <, the drug is taken with suicidal intent. But, occasionally a case occur* which is due to careleas□ees, or to a mistake in compounding medicines. There never should exist in the household the possibility of a case of poisoning from the careless handling of drngal No ordinary fam­ ily has any need for poison* m the house; oven rat poisons can give way to a good cat. When poisons are kept, they should be locked up in a medi­ cine .chest, and not stored away on tho mantel or closet shelves. When drug­ gists, who handle poisons constantly, see fit to keep them under lock and key. I see no reason why the laity should neglect such precautions. Oc­ casionally the community is horrified by sensational accounts of fatal mis­ takes made by druggists. It is gen­ erally supposed that by soma mishap the disp user gets the wrong bottle. This I think is wrong; tho trouble is, tho druggist gets the wrong idea into his head. Ho misreads liis orders, and under the delusion that he is doing right, he complacently makes a mis­ take. Numerous device*, as intricate and’ complex u« poison containers, alarm-bell poison cases, etc., have been invented to prevent such accidents.

It is during the waking time of the day, however, that wo are going to consider her. The houss* dresses which she wears are now commonly called tea gowns, a term which roe in « nothing iu particular, and is applied to any oilier than a plain dress. Tea gowns have Jittlo in common with the original ■Wen, and it is under thia name that the individuality of the wearer is permitted bv fashion to frequently declare itself, while originality of design and quaiutuwm of coloring may be indulged in without being considered cither outre or uwthetic. One exquisite example is here sketched. It has a high, white inner 'dress of thick silk gauze, and sleeves of the same material. Over this is a gown of blue brocade, the un­ usual feature of which is an abundant train. Many tea gowns are made in similar modifications of the Empire form, and sometimes such heavy fabrics as plush and velvet are com­ bined. with the most flimsy gauzes. Maidens with more of time than ttish are suspected of using up portions of oid ball dresses in these concoctions, and that is feasible, owing to the prevalent style of patch­ work, which jiermits a variety •( incon­ gruous fabrics.

He is an old blind horse, and ha* paased to the stage when it is not of much consequence to him where he ia or what he does. In hauling ice for the Nor­ wich Town "Woolen Company icehouse, which is on the~Miteep side o'f the Yan­ tic River, he backed oft the twentv-fivefoot embankment and lodged in the upper boughs of an old elm. He rested (here easily, his fore feet dangling over one limb and his hind legs hanging over another, while on his face was an expression that was interpreted to mean that wherever be was -he was satisfied that hia job had become a batter one than hauling ice up a verticle tackle. It was not easy to tell what to do with him, and twenty men gathered about the trunk of the elm nnd thought. Some oue finally hit on an experiment. The man went aloft and fastened a rope to the tree top, came down, and thir­ teen men took hold of the rope at a ante distance from the tree. Then a woodman went to work to fell the tree. The rest of the party waited to see the horse and tree come down. Tlie chop­ per cut the trunk half through; the weight of the horse bora the top down­ ward, the deacent being graduated by the men at the ropes, and tho animal was gracefully and safely lowered to the river ice. The horse was led around the embankment, hitched to the tackle again, and his job of hauling ice was resumed.

In our cities and large towns es­ pecially, children are inclined to sit to­ gether on the .stone door steps, which aro often ice-cold. This practice needs to be guarded against. Every thought­ ful mother will readily see bow danger­ ous it is for her girls. 5. On returning from a cold walk or ride, throw off ail but the home cloth­ ing at once. The outer clothing is near­ ly at the temperature of the outside at­ mosphere, and, if kept on, must absorb much beat, which might otherwise have come to tho wearer immediately. 6. In dressing and undressing in a cold room, move.about as little as possi­ ble when the slippers are off. The car­ pet just under tho feet i» warmed by ab­ stracting heat from the feet, and the per­ son has tho advantage of it; while every change takes additional heat to warm a new place. In undressing keep the siippen on ac long as convenient; in dressing put them on as soon ns possi­ ble. 7. If a chamber is without a woolen carpot, bo sure to have a woolen mat or rag or bit of carpeting near the bed on which to stand. 8. All slippers for use in cold weatbshould have extra inner soles, to lift the feet from the cold floor and to retain the natural heat. Where nothing else can be had, such soles can be cut from card-, ireard; a thickness of woolen doth should be stitebed on each mde. 9. For women in the kitchen sliprs made of woolen uppers and thick t soles aro desirable. Slippers are preferable for home use to buttoned boots, os they facilitate the warming of the feet, which is otherwise apt to be unduly neglected.—Youth’t Companion. What it Contains, How it is Carried and What te Thought of it- A new outfit is being rapidly intro­ duced throughout tho whole Germao Army. One, indeed, of the alterations, as it does not involve any new equip­ ment, has been already taken up by; all the regiments—that is, tho strapping of tho overcoat round the kutnisack instead of over the shoulders and aoross the body. This has the great advantage of allowing tho men to breathe more freely and to open bis coat if ho wishes. Tho knapsacK itself has been changed and is of a longer shape than before. It con­ sists of two parts, tho knapsack proper and tho pocket, the former containing the soldier's linen, the latter the famous "pease sausage” and bacon. The bolt is, in tho new outfit, nil im­ portant, and serves to make the whole e<]uipmcnt fast From it, on the left, bangs tho bayonet, which has been so shortened that it is now merely a light dagger not a foot long, while in front two pouches are attached, each contam­ ing thirty cartridges (the non-commis­ sioned officers have smaller pouches, holding only fifteen each). Behind is a third pouch which contains forty cart­ ridges made up in two pasteboard cases. These are a reserve and were formerly kept in the knapsack. By this change the soldier carries twenty cartridges more thou formerly. Od tlie right hangs the bread, wallet, which is larger than the old pattern. It has no longer a belt of its own, but hangs directly from the sword belt, thus relieving the chest. The water flask is hooked ou the bread wallet Tho pannikin used to be fastened in tho middle of the knapsack, but is now laid flat on the top with the forage cap, which whs formerly under tho flap of the knapsack below it The combined re­ sult is that the soldier’s chest is almost free-and that the air can circulate be­ tween the knapsack and his bock. Ho can also, by m rely undoing bis belt, take off tho whole of his accoutrement*. The trenching tool is not carried on tho soldier’s back, but hangs at his left side with his bayonet—Nt Jame» Gautte, Washington’s Jumps.

"I know you,” cried out a mellow voice from one corner of the room. Tim masked man was so frightened that be almost dropped his lantern, but with the quick instinct of a crim­ inal he grasped and cocked his revol­ ver and turned the lantern toward the sound. Its bright circle of light shone on the wall like the illumination of a magic lantern, and in the centre was a pretty picture. It was a little child of six or seven years sitting up in her cot. Her Xea were dazzled with the lantern, but ey sparkled with merriment. Her long curls fell over her shoulders on the white embroidered little night dress. Tho burglar’s revolver dropped to his side.

"She’s never stirred, mum, the little dear,” and with that Kate was com­ mended for her watchfulness and care.

The next moment be was applying such means as he could think of to calm a woman in hysterics. A mouth after this one of Mr. Porter’s clerks said that a very unpromiainglooking individual inxuted on seeing him personally and would tell his busi­ ness to no.oue else. When the mau came in he was haggard and in everv way disreputable but with a weak face rather than a bad one. "Well, my mau, what do von want with me?” "I want work.” "You needn’t have insisted on seeing me for that purpose. I’m a busy man.

Even in Chicago Christmas is observed, and sounds of revelry and other things of tlmt kind were Hosting indiscrim­ inately around. "And you want to take away my little girl, the sole prop of my declining years?” "Well that’s about the size of it.” Thu first speaker was old man Gilbooley, tje wealthy and high-born pork-packer of Chicago; the youth whom he addressed, and whose haughty reply wo have recorded, was Rcjrmald Snook*, a prominent member of the nobility of the far-oft western meuopous. "Well.” moaned the old man, as he hysterically seized a decanter and pouted out four fingers of rye, “vou are my equal and hers iu culture ami breeding, and you have got the scad-i, so I suppose it isn't worth while to kick. Take her, my t>oy—ahe is my Christmas gift to you. What ho! without there! red lights aud slow music!” As a faithful servitor entered wiih a large panful of red tire the happy couple knelt to receive a Chicago blessing. It was a happy, holy scene.

"Say what do I get this Christ­ mas?” “You get a daisy gift,” said Reginald Snooks, with animation. “I am ex­ pecting it every moment—nnd here it is!” he added as a slave entered with a document. "Take it—read, aud see if I am unmindful of the claims ofsociety.’ The woman hastily scanned the con­ tents of the paper. "Oh, Reginald?'' she murmured, coyly, while blushes suffused, her face and neck, "my first divorce! Oh, how good and noble you are, and how I have wronged you. And you have been planning this surprise for months!” "Cert. Now society can not point the finger of scorn at us.” “Not much it can’t. But it has been a long weary wait.” “Do not think of that. Ere another six years have passed, you may have your third or fourth divorce.” “Oh, Reginald, how happy you make me!” Both were, indeed, very, very hapyy. In all Chicago, that blessed Christmas Eve, there was not, perhaps, a more joyous or light-hearted couple than Reginald Snooks and his ex-wife, as they sat by the blazing Yule-log and planned tier divorce costume.

It U« common impraadon that the I chief of cluralloo i> to enable a i Denton to intelligently perform certain duties in life, nnd that tho preparatory drill must specifically fit tho individual lor these duties. Nothing is further from the truth. Three things are accomplished by education—independence, discipline and a love of investigation. The man who cannot read naturally drifts into a sort of dependence upon some one who can read. He has never aroused a de­ sire for investigation nor acquired the habit of inquiry. Frequency he does not know tliecommon things necessary to his vocation, nor the physical laws, upon which depend tbe preservation of health, nor the statues which relate to the transaction of ordinary business. He is dependent upon soms one to tell him tbe price of the article be produces to advise him how to vote for the offi­ cers which represent him; be is depend­ ent upon his doctor to keep him in health, upon his lawyer to keep him from violation of law; upon his minister to lead him to Heaven. A Republic regards tbe voter as an independent factor and it has in the illiterate man a most dependentcreature. Education is a paramount duty of a republic. It is the necessity of government. To oppose it is a crime against civiliza­ tion. It is then among the first duties of every state and people to make universal education possible; to plant the school house in every neighborhood and make tho conditions of attendance eo easy that they are within the mean of all. It is the duty of the school to culti­ vate in every mind tlie spirit of inquiry, so that there is a disposition in the individual at all times to investigate tlie problems presented to him. It is astounding how informed a person may become on almost any subject if he studies it. The time ordinarily wasted by a man before he has come to middle life, if de­ voted to inquiry, would make him a good scholar, a fair lawyer and a man of wide information. The illiterate man is r I most sure to drift Into vice. The mind demauds companionship. If it cannot t»e ob­ tained from books it is sought among the idle. Tho boundry between idle­ ness and depravity is an imaginary line of doubtful location, sure to l>e crossed by such as seek pleasure in freedom from duties and responsibilities. It is a hopeful sign of tbe tiihes when the public mind is turned towards liter­ ature, aud art and science : when pleas­ ure is sought in the investigation of the problems necessary to our highest success in life, in the study of the race and its history of which we are a part, and in ascertaining the truths in the material world so closely id en it lied with us.

Un the east side of tho building run* a low-roofed structure, used as a warehouse, atoru-roome. and spirit-room*. In thi* section ore stored nearly 200,000 gallon* of whisky and high proof spirits. Walls three to tour feet thick divide thi* portion of tho building into sections. The entire place is left under th© charge of United States Gov­ ernment officials. A terrible explosion, sounding like thunder, took place. Two dozen men were at work in tho building. The fuse to the bomb*, except in one in­ stance, went out. thus averting a terrible catastrophe. Th© bombs were placed on top of tl>© building directly over tho high proof liquor*, and the one that exploded tore a large holo in the roof, but fortunately did not Ignite the liquors. The work was by unknown parties. BLOWN TO ATOMS. A terrific explosion occurred on the .West Side.

Three children of the first wife contested the will. On the trial which followed thejury disagreed. Tho executors then found that the estate, owing to toe depression in value* which followed the panic, would not pay for itself. Jahn L. Ward, the grain operator of Chicago,*and Thomas R.

[ELUSTR^TED BY JAMES FRANKLIN FITTS. 8 the South ■ ern Confed­ eracy drew nearer to its downfall, the t desper­ ate efforts wero put forth by men at the head of it to cripple the United States Gov­ ernment, and to strike ter­ ror to the ' people of the North. So much of these irregular nnd unmilitary proceedings is known from the attempts made in theMall of 1864 to divert the attention of our Government from tbe enemy in front by raids from Canada, that we aro justified in believing that many more were projected which for some reason wero not put, in operation. Sanders, Tucker deary, Thompson, nnd Clay were in Canada, the accredited agents of th© Confe leracy, engaged in matur­ ing and putting in operation plans for terrorizing the North, some of which did create great consternation and unt-a-iness. It is not at all to the credit of the Canadian or the British Grvcrnmeut that this kind of guerrilla war­ fare oould for months be organized in Canada and launched from there against a country with which she was at jwace. The daring expedition of Beall for tho release of the Confeder­ ate prisoners on Johnson's Island, in Lake Erie, has been lately treated of in this aeries of papers. In Novem­ ber, 1864, a man named Kennedy, with ..his helpers, attempted to burn the city of New York by firing four wide­ ly separated hotels. The attempt cost this desperado his life; he was arrest­ ed and hung shortly after. In th? same month came tho St. Albans raid, a most wanton and freebooter-liko af­ fair, the perpetrators of which-escaped bock to Canada, tbe authorities then? rofmdng to give them up. A very warm welcome would have l>een given them oould th-y have been found on our territory afterward. St. Albany, where this raid occurred, is nnd then was a larga village of Ver­ mont, near the shore of Lake Cham­ plain. fifteen miles from the Canadian border, ami about the last situation where an irruption of Confederate guerrillas was to be looked for. The leader of thia expedition was Lieuten­ ant Ihnnet H. Young, having at hi* back at least thirty men. They broke into the town, killed several citizens, Hoized a larg? number of homes, plun­ dered the I Anka of two hundred thou­ sand dollars, and attempted to bum the town. A e tn ng armed party waa or­ ganized, nnd pursued them over the border, but every man < scaped and was sheltered by bo p'.txble Canada. , From these /pecimeus it is easy to see what a force of bold, resolute men the Confederacy hod just over the line watching for an opportunity to infiic: damage on the United States. The aitu-M and towns along the <whole river and lake border swarmed with them; they made no se­ cret there of their character; they always had an abundance of money with which to forward their plans—not Confederate paper, bnt gold coin. They swaggered and boasted of what had been done, and hinted of great things that were going to be done by them; and they made themselves the herons of large numbers of Canadian youth, who in their mature years are probably ashamed of the admiration they bestowed on these men.

By to-morrow night, nothing prevent­ ing, the line from Midland will be com­ pleted to the depot in West Bay City. Between here and Goshen the work is being pushed as rapidly as bad been anticipated. The bridge spanning the St Jo. river has been completed and track laying is now* being tdone from the river south and from Sturgis north and last evening there was a gap of only 5 miles between th© two gangs of tracklayers and when the track is laid between these two points there will be a continuous line between this city and Goshen. This we are promised, weather permitting, will be completed by Saturday night. It is therefore safe to say, that Battle Creek and Goehon can exchange Christmas greetings by rail and the Battle Creek dudes may be afforded the privilege of making New Year’s calls upon the fair lasses of the “Land of Goshen,” that is if our dudes are so inclined and the lasses at the other end of the line condescend to receive their calls.—Battle Creek Sunday Morning Call.

A* I told you before I moved. Ideicrainnd to have a grand opening on Thankagiving; but, oh, Fidola, my heart ache* to have to tell you how it all turned out. You know I told you it would be a ■splendid chance to show folks what style wo could put on when we hnd a mind to, and so three days beforh Thanksgiving I sent Sophia Jane out to invite the bigbtigs of the town, and I am mire she munt have invited them right, for she had a slip of paper, on which I had written th® exact words of the invitation to look aL It read as Tryph*u* Hicsin* on TbaukBcIviuj. *l »uch limo ua you may mj Ct tn your to desire. I used two big words, you see. which I found in the back part of the spelling­ book, among the long, hard •words, be­ cause I wanted the invitation to sound high-toned, and us though we were edicatcd, for I know they wouldn't know the meaning of them any better than I did. Well, Fidola, Sophia Jane nnd I worked like horses to get everything slicked up and things baked. I bought the largest rooster I could find, for I determined to have enough, if it took all wo possessed on this earth. The guests came stringing along from ten o'clock till three, although thpy might have known I would not expect them till afternoon; and O, Fi•dou. only, only five camo, and I bad invited a plump dozen I When they began coming I was head and ears in the work of cleaning that hateful old rooster, which I had nearly finished, but instead of sending Sophia Jane in tp entertain the company, I went into the parlor myself anti left her to fin­ ish tho fowl, and I’ll regret it to un­ dying day; but of that hereafter. Weil, Sophia Jane had tho rooster on to roast when I came back, and so at three o’clock we had supper, for I was determined to have it early, so that if any of the neighbors were intondin? to slip in jus: in time to see what we had to cat nn I get asked to supper, they would miss their cidcul itions. We all s it down, anil after Phylotus had askt d the blcs.-iug I told Georg® Washington to carve the turkey, for it was such a largo rooster that Sophia Jane and I made up our luiuds we could pass it for a turkey just as well ns not; nnd there is where wo sinned like Sophia in the bible, lor I hadint n led to curve it lielore bringing it oh the tablo, but it looked so nice nnd wns done so brown t int I yielded to Sophia Juno and brought it on whole. I forgot to tell you that one of our guests was n young Ldv, nnd ns Gi-orgo begun 'to curve that hateful old rooster, I saw her looking at him with sheepish eyes, and I .thankeil the Lord for Thanksgiving, for I knew she wai love stiuck. I began thinking of atwedding, aud of being a grand­ mother, when I looked nt Georg®, and O, horrors! my heart turned sick nt the sight, for that heedless Sophia Jan® had left tho crow in that rooMer and George had cut right into the middle of it! And O! thevsmell wom such that I began to mortify in my very victuals. Well, I didn't look around, for I hadn’t thn heart, nor I didn’t want to, but Sophia Jan® said some of the guests went out doors and liked to have spewed their Insides out: and poor George (he always was so bashful, von know) just gave one look at that black-eyed lady and then upset the gravy all over the table, after which he stumbled out of the room. Poor Phyletttfi just sat still and said words which I wouldn’t write on paper lor tbe price of “this world of vanity and vexation of spirits," as th® preach­ er nays.

T Boems strange tome that there are so few peo­ ple in the world who are, or ever pretend to be, polite. 1 have aeon so many impolite people thia week that I think I could fill a volume if I attempted to give a deecrinasir|iU.l i IciH-i of each. But I will only mention a few of the most noticeable. A lady enters a home-car; every scat is taken; she glances along the row of upturned faces with a haughty stare; on® gentleman, near the end, can not withstand the r.hsip glance she gives him, and, rising, offers her his seat. With an audible sigh she sinks grace­ fully into it, never deigning to give as much as a nod of thanks to the mnn who stands np and clings to the little strap that waves over his head, thereby making himself extremely uncomfort­ able that she may lie seated. Presently a ladv seated next to her leaves the car. l*hen what does she do? Think you she gives the man standing a chance to sit down? You would, perhaps, but she does nothing of the sort. With a little shake of her dress she settles herself more com­ fortably, thus monopolizing both of tho ’scats, evidently much to her own satisfaution. Presently tho car stops again, and a lady enters carrying an infant. Do you imagine tho dress is pulled aside and tho tired' young mother is offered a seat? If so, you are mistaken, for the woman who is so comfortably seated does not move. Thon some­ thing hap|>ons; the door opens and the conductor enters, and his voice is plainly heard all over the car: “Clcsa np, here, and give this lady a soaL’ Then, aud not until then, does she condescend to move. I can not understand why it is, but in nine cases out of ten a man is mure polite (han a woman. My idea is that one never loses any­ thing by a little true politeness.. It is a very simple thing to say “Thank you," wlien one is offered a s^at in a crowded car. Yet how few take the trouble to say it. I suppose tho lady who neglects to thank a gentleman for giving up his Hcatto her considers it every man's duty to stand up and let the ladies sit down. I. for me, do not think so. In my estimation a man has as good a right to retain his seat in the car as any lady has, and if he rises and offers it to a lady, it is simply because the man is a true gentleman,' and his natural manly politeness will not permit him to bo seated while a lady is obliged to stand. Imagine ’his feelings when she takes it as a matter of course, without a word of thanks. One could not blame liim if he registerei a vow to keep his seat in the future. If, in going from a large building, a gentleman politoly stops and holds op< n the heavy door fora lady, a stran­ ger, to puss out, I should think it would be an impossibility for her to g..t through the door without some acknowl<*dgment of his kindness. • But twice this week I hav/witnessed a liko case. Once I was directly liehind tbe lady (?) who passed out, without a word of thanks, nnd as tho gentleman held the door open for mo also I politely said “Thank yon.” And I am tolling the truth when I say that he looked so astonished I was positively afraid ho would lose his equilibrium and go down the steps too quickly for comfort. Evidently ho was not accustomed to receiving thanks for so small an act of kindness. Perhaps he thought I was from the “country,” for it seems to be the style of the city people-to com­ pletely ignore anv little act of polite­ ness.—Chicago Ledger. A Turkish Lamp-Lighter.

My friend is a very plain, homespun sort of a man. who takes matter-of-fact views of things, and entertains com­ mon-sense opinions. Yer. he is a man of taste—proud, sensitive and particu­ lar—though not by any means a grumbier or fault-finder. ' He is a professional man, dresses well, attends to his business, makes a good living, and something besides, and has everything around him com­ , fortable and In order. He passed the meridian of life some real's since. His locks are grey, his Head is bald, but his step is yet firm, and a countenance rather stern in re­ pose is usually lighted up with a smile, while the hearty laugh that anon breaks out reveals a remarkably fine set of teeth—but I would not like to say whether they are natural or artifi­ cial. The members of his family hare all reached maturity, and it would seem that he might feel very contented and happy in bis own snug little home, free from want, scud as free from care as an earthly home well can be. Yet my friend is not quite happy; he has a skeleton in bis house—rather airy aud ghostlike, I must confess, yet nev­ ertheless a skeleton—a veritable cause of sadness, if not of sorrow. “My wife.” says he, “is one of tbe strangest women I ever saw. She can never see any beauty or m»rit iu any­ thing that she possesses, or that sur­ rounds her in her own home.” “Perhaps that is only an expression of her natural modesty and lack of self-esteem,” I suggested. “No. that is not it,” he replied. “It is her disposition to depreciate every­ thing she has, while she over-estimates and goes into ecstacies over everything she sees her neighbors have.” “That may be,” I added, “owing to the fact that she is familiar with the defects of the articles she uses and sees every day, while she is not cogni­ zant of die deficiencies of those pos­ sessed by her neighbors. But it is un­ fortunate, if it makes her dissatisfied and complaining.” “Oh, she never complains nor finds fault; nor docs she ever indulge in ex| pressiotu of satisfaction, or act as if she felt contented and happy. I have tried time and again to carry home something that would surprise and please her and awaken some excla­ mation of admiration aud enthusiasm. But it is of no use. All my efforts fall dead. “That is rather discouraging,” I an­ swered. “Yea,” continued he. “To illustrate, I will give an incident or two. She had a good silk bonnet—good enough for mo.<t women to wear; but I thought I would surprise aud please ber a little. So I bought her a fine black silk velvet hat—as nice as I could find—richly but not gaudily trimmed. I would’ not have it sent home—I carried she band­ box myself. I wanted to enjoy a pleas­ ant surprise. I walked triumphantly into tbe sitting-room with it, and put it on the table before her. “She opened it and examined tlie bonnet, picked st the feathers, inspect­ ed the lace, and every article of trim­ ming, not excepting the material. I felt sure all most be right, and I waited fa®* a word. But no word came, and she quietly laid the hat in the box and “it on the cover.

But I never broached the subject again to my wife. “Shortly after," he continued, “when I had in a measure recovered from tho shock, I made up my mind to purchase my wife a black silk velvet cloak. I did not count cost- I searched tall I found one that suited me, aniLwhich I thought would suit her. I ordered it sent home, aud wm sure to be there when it was delivered. I was certain this time I should make a hit. as I had heard her express a desire for such a cloak. But I was again doomed to disappointment Mrs. Smith had one —a green or a blue, or some other in­ appropriate .color—that was a great way ahead. It was of po use; I have subsided and given up all hope of pleasing her.” ••Perhaps you would succeed better if r>u allowed her to select these things,” suggested. “Nd, I believe I hare tried to have her do that, but she insists on my pick­ ing and choosing fgr her, though I have never yeV succeeded in making her say she was pleased with my pur­ chase. ‘ . “And it is just so,” continued he, “about my house and furniture, s She never finds fault and she never ap­ proves. Sho is a bundle of silent neg­ atives. We visited a neighbor’s the other day, and she was in raptures about the furniture, the finish of the house, and everything about it Yet I knew all the time everything in that house was greatly inferior to mine in almost every particular. It was neith­ er so costiv,‘so tasty, nor so elegant But what is tho use.’ Some people nev­ er can appreciate their own posses­ sions.” And my friend again lapsed into a profound melancholy. I sympathized with him, but I could suggest no rem­ edy, so I thought I would put his case in print, and submit it to the ladies. Can you not iu some way drive this skeleton out of the house?. Hnblt* of the Ostrich. San Francisco Call: The Legislature of Illinois has undertaken to deal with the case of Landlord Scully. It findt it a tough job. Scully is an Irishman who Uvea in London, 'England. Mans years ago ho began to buy land in Illi­ nois, aud has added to his purchaser from time to, time until now he ownr several score thousand acres. He lets his land out in farms of fifty or IOC acres at low rents, his leases rarely ex­ ceeding three years in length, and now generally covering a single season only They are granted on the condition thal the tenant shall pay all texes and make all improvements. After the tenant has broken tho sod, built him a house and barn, planted some trees, dug s well or two, and made other improve­ ments, Scully’s agent values tlie hold ing, and when the lease expires the rent is raised to correspond to tho in creased value. If the tenant demurs al being required to pay interest on hb own outlay, he is evicted, and the farm revert* to the landlord, who leases it tc others. This is what is called rack­ renting in Ireland. They have not yet; found a name for it in Illinois. • The subject is interesting to us, be­ cause there are quite a number of great estates in this State which are held in tact by wealthy men, with the view ol renting them out to tenants precisely as Scully has done. If tbe plan can bt carried out there is no investment foi money which promises to be as product tive and as sate. In tho years, to coins improved farms in this State, with (hj£ \J4EWERS OF growing trees on them, will be sure tc command good rents. For the land­ lord to improve and plant them would involve a targe outlay indeed. But il the landlord can get his tenants to im­ prove and plant and then get tlie land Lack into his hand with tho increment he will do a fine stroke of business in­ deed.

Take it. perhaps of doubtful constitutionality has already been passed invalidating provisions in any lease which requires tho tenant to pay the landlord’s’taxes. BOSTON Another law has gone through both branches of the Legislature providing, first, that no foreigner shall hereafter acquire land in Illinois except by be­ coming naturalized, and, secondly, that on the death of a foreigner owning land in that State his property shall escheat to the State unless his heirs become naturalized. It will strike outsiders that these measures do not quite reach the heart of the evil. It is all right to throw im­ pediments in the way of alien land­ holding, but something more is needed.

It is too bad to say anything against these magnificent creatures, but their big eyes aud tlieir grinning look re­ veal an ugly disposition. They will strike with their feet and trample whenever they have a chance. Con­ trary to my expectations the ostriches are very clean in appearance, and the feathers in tlieir natural state are beau­ tiful and rich. They are not packed down dose to the body, but very loose, so that the wind blows through them, fanning the body and keeping it cool. This shows more than anything else that that they belong to a hot clmate. The chicks’ are plucked at seven months of age and the large birds every six months. ' The head, which is wonderfully small compared to the great size of the body, is very queer, consisting of hardly any­ thing except two big eyes and a ’wide, deep bill, splitting the head back to the neck. The top of tba head is flat and often sunken; there absolutely seems to be no room for brains. Aj authority has placed the size of the brain to be in proportion only of one to 1,500. while the eagle’s is one to 160 and.the parrot’s as one to forty-five. Notwithstanding their brainless heads they show an intelligence that over­ throws all laws of phrenology. When hatching their young they ’ carefully break the thick shells of tlie eggs, and show the greatest tenderness and affec­ tion for the chicks. Although viciously disposed they beg for food most winningly. First they toss their wing about, as if to drive off flics. They open their mouths and fol­ low ya« along the fences, reaching oat their long necks. If you wait a little to test tlieir importunity they will sit down and raise their wings, sway their bodies, and pound their head from side to side. Now reward one by throwing him a big orange, and be quickly gulpt it dow n whole. While it is retained in tbe neck, slowly working down, he will stretch his mouth with another, aud sc on until you can see four or five bq^i-hs; where the oranges are working down his neck at the some time.

MICHIGAN LEGISLATURE ■as �HOW BLAINE STOOD. BRITAIN'S GRAND HORSE THAT BANKRUPT CANAL [hew York sp^laL] The Derby winner. Ormonde, has been sold to an American for £17,000. This la stallion. Tho buyer te said to bo John A Morris, of Throgg’s Nock. L. L, who has made millions out-of tho lottery business. Tho purchase of OAponde Is lottery busi­ ness of tho wildest aort. Tho horse of the century, tbe winner \>f the triple crown, tha [nighty successor tof West Australian. Gikdiateur. and Lord Lyon, the champion ot the English turf, the invincible Ormonde, is a "roarer." If be were not no amount of American dollars could have Induced tho Duke of Westminster to have parted with him. All the resource* ©( science have been expended tn a vain effort to cure him of his malady. At the close of tho racing season ot 1886 Ormonde was universally and justly regarded as toe grandest horse in the world. If ho had broken down, his value os a sire would at least have been us great as tho sum (170.000) given by the Duke of Westminster for Or­ monde's grandsire, Doncaster, and for many year* to come the winner of the Derby, tho St. Leger, and tho 2.000 Guineas, would probably have hold his court tn Eston Holl. In Cheshire, us a worthy successor to Touchstone and Pantaloon, to Doncaster and Ben d'Or. But being touched in tho wind, his noble' owner hod no use for him. nnd sold him to an American for885,0U). This sum. preposterous as it stems, is 89.000 less than- Lord Dupplin paid to Mr. Gosden for Petrarch, tho BL Leger winner in 1876. Ormonde is live years old. Ho is not a perfect beauty, nor is he a perfect horse to the eye. His color is dark bay. with the black rising nearly to tho hocks. There is a great deal of daylight under him. Home people call him leggy. He is over nlxtesi^ hands, a Kwerful. rangy, and impressive \creature. o shoulders are long. Sold, and''•toping: the neck is short and thick: the feet and legs are firm os steel, and the quarters are superb. Ill-fortune seems to follow the noted race-horsos imported from England to tho United States. Prince Cliurllc. who wns purchased in Englund only four or five years ago. died in 1886. His owner at ohoo secured Lord Falmouth's Derby winner. Kingcraft, to take his place. Kingcraft died on tho steamship thut was bringing him over. It is a singular co­ incidence that Blue Gown, tho winner of tho Derby two years before him. also died on tho voyage to this country. There are. however, two Derby winners now in tho United Blates—Iroquois and BL Blaiso. Nearly two years ago it was suggested that the Duke of Westminster send Ormonde to Kentucky, where, it was bcliuvOd. ho might bo cured of roaring. It is rumored that Mr. Morris bought Ormonde for Senator George Hearst, of California. THE MAN WHO WAS ELECTED. [Washington telegram.] Tho man who thinks he has been elected President to succeed tlie present Incumbent has already turned up mid wants to oust Mr. Cleveland right away. He is a crank named G. W. Jamison and says ho is from Hartsville. Hucks County. Po. Officiate at tho White House have been annoyed by the man. who has paid frequent visits there for tho purpose of seeing the President. Ho is about 45 years old nnd well dressed, nnd presents tho appearance of a man in good circumstances. Early in tho morning and late tn the evening ho appeared to sec tho President on important business. Each time he appeared he carried in his hands a bundle of manuscript and newspapers. On n dozen or more sheets of legal-cap paper he has written what pur­ ports to be a report by the Secretary of tbe Navy. This convinced tbe officials that tho man was a crank, and Sergeant Johnson notified him to keep away from tho White House. One day he managed to slip in un­ noticed with a visiting delegation, and when discovered by the officials he was up stairs on his way to the President's mom. Sergeant Johnson then put him out nnd again warned him to keep away under a threat of arrosL This, however, did not frighten him. and n few hours later he re­ turned in a cab and again insisted on seeing the PresidenL He was sent away from tho door. Later on tho officials discovered that fiw visitor hod left hta coaL Ho returned to tiie White House and wa« placed under ar­ rest. He was taken to the sanitary office, where ho was.que»tlonodby Sanitary Officer Frank. H« Said that ho was a widower and hnd four children, whom ho left In charge of n Mrs. Rutherford. "There was an election last month." re­ marked tho stranger. "I believe there was.” sold the officer. “•Well." said Jamison, "there is a mistake os to the man who was elected. Cleveland and another man ran. Cleveland was de­ feated. but the other man was not elected." "Who was?" asked tho officer. "I was." he answered. "And I came hero to see that President Cleveland turns over tho office to mo and not to the other man." EXPENSES OF THE STATES.

The French Chamber of Deputies has voted urgency for legisla­ tion. which, by legally postponing the evil day three months, enables the company to evade tbe ordinary penalties of bankruptcy.

The embarrassment of the Panama Canal Company was tlie topic ot excited contro­ versy in all public places. Ton minutes after the vote was given in the Chamber a Figaro correspondent called on De Lesseps. "Eh bion, monsieur, do you know the re­ sult of tlie vote?" usked the correspondent. "No." replied De Lessepa. "The Government bill is rejected." De Lcsseps suddenly became pole; ho was speechless; he placed'a hiLndkerchief to his lips to stifle a cry.

[New York telegram.] Nobody In Wall street will admit now that he has had any sort of interest in the Pana­ ma Canal scheme. Those who were most boastful of their relations with it are now more than discreetly silent, and glibly re­ pudiate all their past utterances. A brief order by cable gave instructions to Count Colonc. the head of the New York office, to refund to Americans all strbscriptionn made to tlie collapsed bond scheme, and directing him to stop nil payment demanded on any other account No Instructions reached hero from official sources, though Wall street was deluged with cable dispatches telling of financial trouble, probable and possible, apprehended In Varis und through­ out France. How great au interest Ameri­ cans have In the collapsed company Is not to be easily ascertained. It Is declared on authority that nut less than SiM.OOU. and probably S250.1XX). was subscribed here for the bonds. "The effect ot tho failure ot the Panama Canal scheme on the Nicaragua Canal enter­ prise." said a representative of the latter, "is difficult to estimntu. It removes from our way a possible claimant to rivalry os a waterway, but further than this and the probable concentration of attention and in­ terest in the Nicaragua Canal 1 can sec no immediate effect. We have never seriously regarded the Panama Canal as a rival, bccause even if the Panama route hud been possible it'would have made impracticable the general use ot sailing vessels on account ot the windless urea that extends into the Paclfle from the vicinity of Panama Buy. The Pantun u Canal would have l»een ns use­ less for sailing craft as the Suez Canal, through which only one sailing vessel has ever pasi.ed. and that was a pleasure'yacht. We have every reason to believe that wo shall begin work on tho canal next spring and that we shall then push It forward to completion with the utmost rapidity.

Forty yours ago a Catholic priest in Kpringllrld. Father Dougherty, was (Tiarged with the betrayal of a young lady. The Sunday following the exposure a crowd of forty or more excited parishioners gathered ut.thc church door and refused tho Father admteaion.

Throe or four of the "accursed" are still hlive. Among them Is Owen O’Connor, of Springfield. Two years ago O’Connor’s youngest son. Dr. P. J. O’Connor, committed suicide: another aon. ex-Mnyor O'Connor, of Holyoke, died of apoplexy.

These boys Lav© been running mr.tteiu and things pretty much to suit them selves for the last six months; they have martyred their parents and made life au unbearable burden to tlie neigh­ bor*. X'et now all of a sudden these boy* exhibit a great and wondrous change; meek M the proverbial meekems ot Mo«e«. they are an thoughtful, as preper, and as circumspect in their daily Uvea aa the moat exacting mother or the sternest father could wish. The truth of tbe* matter is that Christ mas is at hand. That is why tho bcns.-fre *o completely ehanged; yes CLi utmas is tlie wherefore. Wo know lids becauae wa were once a boy, and (a© we distinctly recollect) a very good boy,too. Hingolarly enough, die parents change, too, at this particular season of the year. They forget much; the spirit of oblivion testa upon that large section of the past involving tlie mis­ doings of the boys. Well, such is human nature, thia kindly forget: ulnew> is one of the pleasantest bitein all the comedy of human life. It was only last spring that the boys wrangled and quarreled over their marbles; very often they scratched and beat each other, and not infre­ quently they—now we are pained to have to record this—they used bad words. Yes, not content with kneeing out their trousers, with tearing big, ugly holes tn their stockings (and stockings cost money!/—not content >;ith cheating the smaller "kids” at fen’ dnbs, with tearing up the parlor register in order to recover a lost agate, they descended to the more reprehensible crimes of personal vi­ olence and of language calculated to provoke a breach of the peace and in­ tense horror in the souls of every Christian auditor. To marbles succeeded the top craze, involving mor© contention, and then followed the pigeon mania; and after tl»«* pigeons (they were very tough!' came rabbits, after the rabbits came white rata, then game chickens, then a lame dog, then a pet groundhog aud an educated crow, and, last of all, a goat—a ribald, ill conditioned, odori­ ferous, profane goat No, there is no oblivion that can blot out hideous remembrance of the goat! There may be nepenthe for tbe marbles, die tops, the pigeons, the rabbits, tbe white rats, the game chick­ ens, the lame dog, tbe pet groundhog, and the educated crow, but nepenthe for that impudent, intrusive goat— never! With all its subtile and potent influences, the Christmas season can neither make us oblivious to nor rec­ oncile us to that goat. At the goat the line.is drawn. Yet it must be admitted that these boys, whose chubby arms erstwhile did embrace said goat and whose clothes did use to drink in tbe aroma of said diabolical and demoralizing goat only to exhale the same for the regalement and delectation of sensitive olfactories —these boys, we say—these naughty, malodorous boys seem very sorry for it all now. They do not go about clam oring their sorrow; they do not refer to the past with sighs expressive of regret; they have the exceeding good taste never to invite scrutiny into their records. Yet it is evidi nt to tbe par­ ental eye that deep down in their hearts the boys are sorry about something and are trying to du better. Some might argue that a reform which is dearly for revenue only ought not to be encouraged, but go to, all such pessimists, at this sweet Christ- Shall not tbe saintly faces and the unusual decorum of these children successfully plead their causes'! Surely nicely washed bands and combed hair and pleasant greetings and carefully preserved clothing and courteous manners and hasty obedience aud pious profeeaionH— surely these are metamorphoses which should be rec­ ognized and encouraged. Why, yes, of course. And though, aa we have before said aud do still maintain, we may not forget that part of the imme­ diate past involving the goat, we may and slioold and shall waive that hide­ ous iDcumlms for the present and abandon ourselves (aa tin* most natural and pleasant) to the indulging and the whose natures, let it be hoped, the good inherited from their doting father shall eventually triumph. * * Bi Yure Chrismas Prezants OF- GUDWIN & COMPANY.

Watkins of tb* Middleville Republican to (he various county office*. Calling first upon Register of Deeds Richard", we found that pleaaant, busineM-iike gentleman nnd his assistant, C. W. Jordan, hard at work, but they gave us the freedom of their "palatial” office and we proceeded to look around. We first inspected the so-called fire_ proof vault It might be'fire-proof * if it stood out by ituelf, bnt it is built into the side of the court house and is covered with a wooden roof. The court house is', ft large building, built over a solid timber frame, has been seasoning for many years, and would make a terribly hot fire, and it is indeed questionable if, in case tfiv building burned, the content* of the vault would not also be destroyed. The records contained in this vault concern the title to every piece of land in Barry county, and their destruction would involve hopeless confusion of titles and almost endless litigation, which of itself would cost Barry county many times the price of a new court house. There is a set of abstract* of title in the office of Cook & Sheldon, but should tbe county records be destroyed is it likely that Messrs. Cook A. Sheldon will give up these records t their own personal prop­ erty, the result of many year*’ work) . for a songf In all probability, from $50,000 to $100,000 would be the expense to Barry county; $50,000 is a low esti­ mate. Yet we incidentally mention that no one in toe county is more in favor of building a new courthouse than are these two gentlemen. Then in the Register’s office, unguarded by safe or vault, are kept tlie indexes, which would certainly be lost in case cf fire, and which would alone cost several thousand dollars to replace, even were tbe records saved. The records of mortgages .are equally un­ protected. In the Clerk’s office are filed records of all cases in the circuit court, very many unsettled; also records of the proceeding* of the board of supervis­ or*, etc. Deputy Clerk Powers said it would take many years of expensive litigation to straighten out tbe tangle in case of the destruction of these file*, which are in such shape that they could not possibly be saved in case of fire. Their destruction would lose thousands of dollars to litigants, as well as to the county, by reason of new litigation. In the Treasurer’s office are kept all tax rolls and records of tax title*. Tbe destruction of these would mean direct loss to many, and put clouds on the titles of an enormous quantity of real estate. We have before explained the sit­ uation of the probate office. It is in toe second story of a brick block on State street, the only means of access to it being up a narrow stairway. In this office are the records of over 3,000 cases, nearly 1,900 classed and num­ bered. Less than oue-half of these are closed up, and many are only partially begun. Probably not less than 4,000 of the people of Barry county are directly interested in the cases in this office which are not yet closed. Tbe records could not tie saved, and their losses would not only defeat the wishes of toe dead but rob the living of their just dues. It would cause direct loss of hundreds of thousands to heirs, and would cause law suits which it would take fifty years of courting to settle. It would be an easy matter for the old court house to be destroyed by fire. It i* open all tbe time, night and day. Tramps and vandals frequently set Buch places on fire. The careless use of fire or a stray cigar stub might cause a blaze. The building is so inflamable that a firo once under headway would destroy It in spite of all which might be done. The business and recordn contained in the court house involve over $13,000,000 worth of property.Any man with a thousandth or a ten thousandth part of that amount of hi* own at stake would aee that the books or papers which secured hi* title to tbe property was securely kept. It ia a hazard which the people of this county cannot afford to take—not only a haz­ ard, bot a foolhardy deduce of a fate which experience shows is liable to cause a direct loss of hundreds of time* the.amount a new building would cost. Look at it candidly. Don’t think of the trifling sum it would coat you personally, but of the large sum it i* liable to cost you should the county record* be destroyed. Capt H. B.

The various line* of street cara all start -from this square; it i* headquarter* for huckster* and street venders, embraces a fine flower garden, fountain and band stand from which music is dis­ coursed nightly. It is a popular re­ sort for all classes of people and fur­ nishes a most excellent place to study life in Mexico. Upon any fine evening may be seen a gay and merry throng promenading' the plaza. Imagine beautiful Spanish women with their dangerous black eyca, superbly clad in dresses of silk or velvet, with their small feet encased in beaded, bronzed, high-heel shoes and head covered with rich lace mantilla*, accompanied by their father, brother or trusted servan*. A horde of poor, homeless, uncared for beggar*; the uncombed, half naked Mexican woman and her babies; men and women, boys and girls running about with great trays of sweet meats, pastes, cakes and other dainties on their heads; and you baye some idea of the scene, but to comprehend it thor­ oughly you ought to be able to speak Spanish. Upon one side of the plaza mayor is the palace, the largest building in Mexico, having a frontage of 675 feet. On another aide is the great cathedral, nearly 800 years old. It is the largest in North America, covers a space of 433x300 feet, has a tower 200 feet high, and cost about $2,000,000. The Em­ peror Iturbide is buried in one of its chapels, and it contains paintings which are said to be the work of Murillo. One of the most interesting event* of our stay in Mexico waa a trip to toe castle of Chapultepec, the white house of tbe.Mezican republic. We entered tho grounds' through massive gates, guarded by1 a dozen sentinels, and were among the trees that sheltered Monte­ zuma and his people, A. D. 1400. One of these trees is said to be 60 feet in circumference and 200 feet high, Chapultepec was the last battle of the Mexican war, and we notice a tine monument erected to the memory ot tho Mexican cadets who laid down their lives in the defense of their country upon the invasion of the North Americans. There are some hireoglyphic* of pre-historic times upon the rocks which archaeologist* have not succeeded in translating. Water is piped from a spring styled “Monte­ zuma’s bath,” and a cave in the rocks is said to be connected with a sally port from the garden on the roof of the castle, and used pea method of escape in times of extreme peril by bis people. Tbe castle of Chapultepec is built upon a ledge of solid rock at an al­ titude of several hundred feet above the valley. Oar party having a proper pasport from the Governor, and having liberally feed the guide, were admitted into it* innermost sanctuaries, and we all agreed that we had never seen such furnishings, such paintings, such sculpture, such magnificence in any mansion we ever visited. A fine garden grows on its roof. It com­ mands a superb view of the city and surrounding country. During the French invasion Chapul­ tepec was occupied by Maximillian, who remodelled and fitted it up in oriental splendor. Here he brought his beautiful wife Cariotte, only S3 years old. Sho worshipped her young busband, as he did her, and was am­ bitious for his sake. A sad fate was theirs. Maximillian’s reign was of short duration, from April, 1865 to June 19tL» 1867, when he was executed at Queretaro, by the Mexican author­ ities. Some say that the worst thing the Mexicans ever did for themselves was to shoot Maximillian—that they have never bad so good a government since. Maximillian’* last words were "Live Mexico;” “Poor Cariotte." Hi* death caused bis beautiful wife to go mad. We also visited the interesting sub urb of Guadalupe. Ito cathedral is a massive brick edifice with four towers aroupd a central dome. The interior is noted for its solid silver railing. Tbe sanctuary of Guadalupe is the most celebrated in tbe republic, owing its origin to a tradition. An Indian crossing tbe hill saws rainbow in tbe middle of which wa* tbe mother of Jesus encompassed by a white cloud. The virgin said thai she desired a temple built at that place. Tbe bishop of Mexico w*f at first inclined to think the Indian was “yarning” when he told him the story, but wa* Anally pre­ vailed upon to build the cathedral. Half way up tbe bill is a monument in tbe form of an immense sail, erected by a man who once upon a time had a vessel out to sea, the loss (f which would make him a bankrupt. There were great storms and his vessel was given up for lost, but bi* family turned out enm*w»e and prayed the virgin to restore their property and they would erect her a monument. In a few day* the ship came to port safely, and the monument was erected n« a luemcnto of the virgin’s goodut*w. The natives are very superstition* and it i* a rowmon belief that anything asked of tlie Virgin of Guadalupe will l>e grai't‘-d, nrd there are scores of rude pxttit- spring babbling up muddy water, which the native* drink, belelvmg that the Virgin baa bleated it, and that it will cure their infirmities. At all time* may be found a crowd supping from a coffee bow! and endeavoring to conceal a look of disgust aa they swallow the vile stuff. Other* are filling bottles and jars to take home with them. The oldest church of the three is way up on a pile of rocks, and back of this is a little grave yard iu which lies hurried the body of Gen. Santa Anna. The moat noticable feature of alupe was the great amount of bling carried on in tbe num booths arduud the cathedral.

He was also for n time tho private secretary ot Senator Morton. He ini- always held close relation* to the influ-ential Be publicans of Indiana, and i« a gen­ th-man whose adv lee is always sought.

It is only a privileged few wiio are taken into the confidence of the party. Private *ccretorie* have, as o rule, boon a sort of pa-rfunetory set of officials. They wore of importance or not. os the President made them so. In most cases the secretary is little mortf than a Presidential guard ami keeper of the anteroom, bis duties beinJrto open and sort the mail, mnke newspaper marks and clippings, receive cards, and en­ tertain the iwoptn waiting for an audience. It is to be presumed that the dignity and importance of the office will be added to under President Harrison.

K- Holisinger we were to day shown through . the two bran new trains which will j aeon begin running on tbe C. A- St. L.! railroad between this city and Battle i Creek next Tuesday or WedneednjX^ Believing that first-clsM accomoda-i Lions and furnishing^ will pay the best returns on the inveetmeot. as they will be most highly appreciated by tbe pub­ lic, Mr. Burns has spared neither pains nor expense to have th© equipment "of tills road equal to tbe trunk lines. The exterior view of the trains is imposing and captivating, each car being finished in a harmonious combi nation of dark colors, with handsome windows, doors and ventilators. They are built high and passenger coaches have the appearance of thebest sleeping und palace coaches on other reads. The passenger coaches are also suppli­ ed with extra large steel combination wheels, their diameter being nine inch­ es greater than the old style. This insures not only greater strength to the coaches but more comfort to the traveller. We were assured that the running would be so easy that without looking out of the window a person would hardly know that the train was moving. Tuese wheels made an add­ itional cost to each coach of $500. The interior of the coachee'are finished in hard oak, beautifully carved and orna-, mented, the seats being in antique; pattern. With splendid chandeliers, ] and racks for hats and packages, the ■ inside of the coaches is fully equal to I the outside appearance, and will attract I the attention and admiration of all passengers. The Westinghouse patent j automatic air brake is used on all the coaches, and they are heated with! steam throughout. The company is determined to spare no efforts for the comfort, convenience aud pleasure of tlieir patrons, and to this end will have only the most ac­ commodating and corteoua conductors, while brakemen will be excluded from all couches but the rear one. The traffic of the rood is already quite large, a number of car loads of logs arriving in this city from LaGrange county each day, besides a good gener­ al freight transportation and occuaion- • ally a train load of salt.

POWERS A STRIN8HAM LAST LEAP YEAR OPPORTUNITY The Evangelical Sunday school looked forward to Christmas this year with considerable delight, on account of the Christmas boat which was to be constructed. The members of the Sunday Softool worked hard and faith­ ful in preparing for this occasion aud were very amply rewarded by the unanimous approval of a large and very appreciative audience which gathered on Monday evening to be entertained. The program was short but interesting, the recitations and singing being rendered almost alto­ gether by the smaller members of the school with the exception of a short address by the pastor. Thia being finished the attention was directed to the boat which bore three masts from which Lung large white sails and were decorated by numerous flags. The boat was well loaded with valuable presents for scholars and teachers, conspicuous among which was an el­ egant silk hat, suspended at the top of the flag on the highest mast which was presented to the pastor by the mem­ bers of the church. An appropriate song was then snug after which the audience returned home well satisfled. _ _ __________ PATENT MEDICINES.

Arriving at the brilliantly lighted bouse, they were ushered into the commodious parlors and were soon in the midst of the evening’s pleasures. Games of various kinds were indulged in, wit and repartee flowed freely, choice viands and fruits were dispens­ ed with lavish hand and no doubt many an engagement made. What the result of these may be we will chronicle in the future, with warmly congratulating pen. The thanks of all were due and accorded the pleasant host and hostess for the opportunity thus afforded for the assembling of kindred spirits and the modestly-prond smile visible upon the happy counte­ nances of our young folks since that evening tell their own story of con­ quests made, but which as yet we dare not tell.

It costs uh $200,000,000 per annum to support our 20,000,000 dogs. The food given to an. average -dog every year m ould yield a return of $10 if fe<l to chickens. Our high-toned dogs many of them consume more than working jieople, and move in the very best society. Before any strange gen­ tleman ventures to set foot within the gates of a Southern plantation he waits nspectfully till the Ir st comes to the gate and introduces him to his dog. Michael Davitt once declared with great eloquence and effect before a larg? and respectable New York audi­ ence tliat Ireland was the only country in the world where one could travel for miles through the country without ever seeing a dog. “Alas," he said, “a people living on the most produc­ tive soil in Europe, far less thinly populate! than Massachusetts, cannot afford dogs, for they need the food themselves." No wonder Mr. Parnell resents the latest Tory scheme of Eng­ land to devote $25,000,000 to the forced purchase of farms from landlords. The wrongs of Ireland can never be patched over by such delusive make­ shifts. But they show that the fear of Ireland’s land mono]K>lists never gives them any rest Why We Sink In Quicksand.

Such bones will ’ ’ *’ a long time and show scA more changes than atones. .. „„ Bones poas^ss the greatest jralue at the time they, are taken from an ani­ ma! or fowL They then contain a large amount of fat, the hollow ones inclose marrow and there is considera­ ble flesh attached to them. These bones, if large, are very hard to break. Without -suitable machinery it is al­ most impossible to pulverize them. If placed in a fire the animal substanc&t will be consumed and the mineral .por­ tion*- will become quite brittle. All the substances, however, that are ca­ pable of forming ammonia will be con­ sumed and lost in the atmosphere. It is very desirable to save the animal as well as the mineral substances tliat are combined in bone. This may bo done by crushing them in a machine pre­ pared for the purpose or treating them with sulphuric acid. Farmers, how­ ever, are not generally in a condition to do either of these things. It will accordingly be their best way to put the bones under conditions favor­ able to their decomposition and at the Same time unfavorable to the loss of any part of them that iavolatle. Solid as* bones appear,--nearly, half their weight is matter that is qQite perisha­ ble. Oue of the best ways of disposing of fresh bones is to throw them into tho pig-pen. The pigs will devour the flesh that is on them and will break many of them for tho purpose of get­ ting the marrow they contain. They will often devour all tho bone* of a fowl and most of the smaller ones of a sheep or calf, tho last being quite soft. Tho undigested portions of them that are eaton will become part of their dung and will be in tho best condition to use as a fertilizer. The larger bones will be at length mixed with the manure in the pen, which during the process of fermentation will soften and partially decompose them. Bones can be softened and partially decomposed by mixing them with fresh horse dung. The softening and decomposition may ‘ lie promoted by putting worn in a pot with quick lime and causing it to slake by the application of water. The same thing may be effected by placing them in a tight barrel and covering them iga become of great value, Betions Co sheep can overnnefit derived in that way. On the important subject of raising cows for profit the -Breeder's Gtutflc NUMBER 16 J)o^6u fneW The Hon. James Wilson of Iowa, ob­ served in a public address that “where men farm for dear life the cow is the foremost consideration.” Nothing could be more true, for wherever the farmer is harassed with debt, or when­ ever he is struggling to make good a start in life,it is tho cow which comes to his assistance, paying off his mortgage in the one case and placing him upon the high road to fortune and inde­ pendence upon the other. Her ca­ pacities for good are almost unlimited, and in no direction can the farmer so surely improve his condition as in de­ veloping and cultivating these capaci­ ties to the highest degree. Those who keep cows, and as many of them as circumstances will permit, and take pains to have them good and of tho most improved sorts, and maintain them in a manner favorable to their thrift, find they are not only an agency to which a man can resort to save him­ self when misfortune presses and all else fails to bring relief but that they are also a sure mean* of advancing the farmers’* prosperity at every stage of it* prdgress. But the cows seldom have a chance to show what .they can do, and to what a degree they are capable of contributing to the fortunes of their owners. Upon a large number of farms they are not maintained in sufficient numbers to fully accomplish their mission, and on a vast majority they are of the common unimproved sorts to whoso development no efforts have been given, and which are in­ capable of realizing for their owners one-half the profit which could be se­ cured from highly improved animals.

The relative merits of deep or shal­ low culture for farm crops have never been fully settled. It is claimed that the only advantage of deep culture is Id the fact that the .loosening of the soil allows the heat to penetrate deeper into the soil than it otherwise would do. Many plants also, as corn, have roots that grow near the surface. Pro­ fessor Sturtevant, of the New York Ex­ periment Station, is inclined to think that the route of corn and similar plants grow nearf the surface because the soil is wanner there than deeper down. Last season he conducted a series of experiments at the station to test whether the location of plants in the soil was governed more by temperature of the soil or by it* fertil­ ity. He has recently made* public an account of these experiments, as fol­ lows: ‘Tn the spring of 1887 four pita were dug, each three feet in diameter. Two of these were filled to the top with fer­ tile soil, mixed with compost, the other two were filled with the same to the depth of two feet, and finished to the top with clay that had been taken from the bottom of the pits. In the center of two of these pits, one of which was filled with clay, two fourinch sole tiles were placed erect, one resting on the other, «othat a tube was formed to the depth of twenty-eight inches. In each of the other two pits one tile was placed, making a tube in the center fourteen inches deep. The tiles were then filled to the top with fertile soil, tamped in lightly to insure a continuous column. Thus prepared we had abundant fertile soil at the bottom of all the pits, while in two tho surface soil was very infertile clay. “In each of the two pits containing the single length of tile, a few kernels of Woshakum corn were planted in the soil within the tile, while in the tiles of tho other pits seeds of the Student par­ snip were planted. These plant* wore chosen because tho corn is known to root shallow, and tho parsnip deep. After the seeds had vegetated the young plants were thinned to one for each pit. The corn plants made an excellent growth, and each produced several stalks. The one in the pit topped out with clay yielded three merchantable ears and five nubbins. Tho parsnip plants were a fair growth. “On September 24, the root* of the corn plant* were washed out and ex­ amined. In neither the pit filled to tho surface with fertile soil, nor in tho one topped out with clay did the root* incline upward to any extent Tho appearance was the same a* if the bot­ tom of the soli corresponded to the surface of the soil. The roots were very much as in their natural position, extending in every direction except upward. “On September 29 the roots of the parsnip plant* were examined in the same manner. Very few roots had penetrated to the bottom of the second tile, and these grew outward, inclin­ ing down. But in both plants roots had grown out at the junction of the two tiles. In the pit filled to the sur­ face with rich soil these roots unques­ tionably inclined upward, some of the fibers reached almost to the surface, lu the other pit, where the junction of the tiles was about at the union of the fertile soil and clay, one large root came out and turned at once down­ ward into the rich soil, another in­ clined downward, but descended grad­ ually; a third grew straight outward, aud some of its fibrous branches de­ scended, while as many more ascend­ ed. “That the roots of the parsnip, a plaut that thrives in cool climates, and roots very deeply, should have inclined upward more than those of com. a shallow rooting, tropical plant, was hardly to be expected. The parsnip plants, however, did not make full de­ velopment, while those of the corn made an unusally strong growth. Leaving out the parsnip case, which is perplexing, the fact that the corn root* made their full development more than a foot below the surface, while tho greater part are usually found within the first four inches of the soil, and while there was noth­ ing to prevent them from rising to the warmer soil above, is evidence that abundant food and moisture ase more essential to the development of com than a high soil temperature. “In order to make sure that the soots of corn plant*,growing under ordinary conditions, lay no deeper in the son than usual the past season, the root* of plants were washed out and exam­ ined. They were found to be, as in former seasons, chiefly within two to five inches of the surface. w 'OLD MODESTY a | O H no. BOSTON- Dry Goods Store! MARR & DUFF HOLIDAY GOODS & BOOKS.

A beautiful bird, and one now fast becoming extinct, is the “quetzal," the national bird of Gautemala; and with such reverence is he regarded that bis engraving occupies the center of the postage stamps of the country. Tho body of the bird is about the siso of that of a good-sized California quail; his general color is a beautiful emer­ ald green, with a crimson and a yellow luster running through it; the* small feathers of tbe head stand straight up, and his four or five tail feathers, which grow to the length of two feet, are rich green and red. His home is in the tall­ est mountains; he pines away and dies after a month of captivity, and even the Indians, who know his habits, are unable to keep him alive when sway from his native haunts. It is said that his food is the plantain; bnt confined ss a pct he does not relish it. prepared in most tempting ways. They say he dies should one of his tail-feathers be broken. How true this mar be I do not know, but it seems to have some foundation considering the great'eare ho takes of them. His nest i» built in cylindrical shape, with a holo st each end, and much resembles a lady’s muff. He enters at one end and rests with his long feathers hanging out; in leaving his nest he never backs otit—that would ruffle and break his feathers—and the Indians, knowing this, arlwavs ap­ proach his head and easily capture him. After death the crimson and yel­ low luster in a greatdegreo disappears, and, this being the life of his green color, the stuffed specimen is never so handsome as the live bird. The scavenger of tho country is th® sopilotc, or large black buzzard. Eve­ ry house has two or three of these birds continually watching for kitchen waste aud other refuse of the house, aud though they are many strange dogs the people arb much in­ debted to them. Sanitary precautions are disregarded, and these birds have constituted themselves ‘ into a street­ cleaning department, removing all th® filth and carrion which would other­ wise rot and fester in the hot sun to breed disease. Swarms of them hover on tiie outskirts ot the town* to prey upon th« dead mules, horaes. and oth­ er animals. A mule's bones will be picked clean in two days, bnt before the nifcal commences he* must *hsve a haut gout, for though the buzzard be a gourmand he is nevertheless a gour­ met.

One time I felt * that I was not doing my duty by the stranger* who occa­ sionally came to the church wherein I was a pew-holdcr. I said that I would keep an eye odl for the stranger and take him in with a cordiality that would make his hair furl, so to speak. Sun-i day morning dawned, and my resolu-i tion still held good, although three or four days old. This surprised and fih-aaed me, as two days was the usual imit for my best resolutions. Well, I took a back east afid laid low for strangers. I waa gping to show tliat ehnren how to welcome tho sojourner and tho stranger within our gate^ I: missed two or three good shots on ac­ count of my shyness, as I was new at the welcoming business and wasn'tvery well acquainted with the church, people anyhow, and had a terrible fear of making a mistake. So I let three or four thoroughbred strangers get' past my look' off and wander around into wrong places, only to bo started,' out of the pjw when the family came in. But by and by, just al»ut tho hour, for opening service, I made a baae-: hit. An old man came in, with a timid, uncertain stop, and I • had him by-tbe arm liefore h- knew where jio wAs. He.whispered, "Never mind,”l but I told him that was what I was1 there tor. He tried, in *his feeble, । timid way, to slide into feside pew, but I wouldn't have it I walked him upj the center aisle, abd pointed him into Judge Duatinashos’ pew. Then II forced an open hymn book into his re-1 luctant hand, and refusing to stay and listen to his faltered thunks, I went to my own seat, followed by*a surprised, pleased look in that old man’s face and eyes tliat made my heart warm all through the service. The people) smiled at each other, and looked at me, as I bad never been known to do' such a thing before, but I didn’t core., I had made one humble worshiper feel; at home in that church, and I knew hewould come back again. I didn’t hear* rtiuch of the sermon, I am afraid; T was thinking too pleasantly about) myself. Well, I was right about the old man, coming back again. He camo back; several time*, in fact, but he found his own seat after that memorable Sunday. I learned after service that he was one of the richest and oldest members oft that church. He had been baptized, into it about the time I was getting born. No wonder he was surprised. No wonder I didn't show my face ah church for three weeks. No wonder thaft I was confirmed in the suspicion that, had b?en haunting me in a vague, shad­ owy way for some years, that I hadn't much sense. I haven't any more nowl than I had then. Still, there's one comfort—you don't need much in my business.t f - Sailors Not Oftea Overworked. Perhaps here it would be well to say, a few words about sailors and contra­ dict some of tho romance and false sentiment that is connected with them by people and writers who know abso­ lutely nothing about them. We hadi an extraordinarily tine crew, which II studied closely all tho way, and came to this conclusion: First, that Jack is not really vicious at heart, but at the same time he is a perfect child and easily iflnenced by any character of strong will that h: comes in contact with, so that one man who ao desires can spoil and make discontented a whole crew, no matter how well they may l>e treated by the officers. Sec­ ond, they are so much like children that they even have to be told when to go to'bod and when to get up. The least little thing will ups<*t them, and I have known of a whole crew coming forward, crying and complaining be­ cause the cook had spoiled their soup. Th rd, that they do not have to work as hard, and that as a rule they are much better fed than the class of com­ mon laborers. It is all nonsens? to imagine that a sailor is an overworked man, for be is not. Jack's day is divided into watches of four hours each, four on and four off. Nor does this mean that they are all, especially in pleasant weather, ob iged to keep awake during thb houis at night when on watch, only that they must b? drdased and around. They generally have one or two men, . "° h__, ri .1° AtT™ nrd ! instantly*arouse the others it if but any order instantly arouse thf is given. Then they, are so trained by habit that they wu;o up instantly whenever an order is given, and then S> to sleep the minute it is executed. f course, in stormy weather this is different, but in storms—and I have seen some pretty severe ones, includ­ ing a cyclone in the 1’aeific—there is not nearly so much to do as one would imagine.—Samuel F.

It is surprising to see what a great change a little paint will make in the appearance of farm buildings. The Farmers’ Alliance was introduced into Mississippi ?n March. 1887. and now has lodges and 40,000 morn­ The American Association for the Advancement uf Science will hold its next annual meeting in Cleveland, Aug. 14 to 22, inclusive. Many of the ready-mixed paints arc valuable and cheap, aud the painting can be done by one of tho boys or hired man at odd times. A hundred rods of fence on a farm above actual need become a tax on la­ bor and material that may better bu cut off by removing the fence. A new vegetable fiber, called “gamootic." is Imported from Celibca into Holland, and is made to take the place of moss and hair in upholstery. It is estimated that to collect a pound of honey from clover 62,000 heads of clover must l>e deprived of nectar aud 8,7<»U,000 visits from bees must be made. Watering troughs by the roadside at convenient distances are highly ap­ preciated by travelers aud are pretty sure indications of kind aud hospitable farmers. . ' A good coat of paint will preserve the buildings, add to the Iwauty and . attractiveness of the premises, and transform old run-down farmhouses into, neat and tasty homes. Going to law is expensive, whether it be for the purpose of securing jus­ tice or revenge, and is almost most certain to end in disappointment and loss of money to both parties. It is a queer ijea some farmers have Jhat grass will grow after soil is exhaf&ted by grain cropping and that gross will*restore fertility after it is so far gone tliat seeding must fail. One way to make your boys dislike farming is to be continually -finding fault, complaining of the hard lot aud slavish life of farmers and telling them of the ease aud -comforts of city Ufa. Burned bones arc useful in the poul­ try-yard, but do not equal those that are procured in the ground condition. Bones from the butcher, pounded into pieces, arc preferred by tho hens, os they contain more or less meat. With all the talk about the- value ot Jerusalem artichokes for hogs fewer arc planted every year. While large crops of them are sometimes raised, the average yield appears to bo very small ana dependent on the season. Experiments in raising alfalfa are being made at the Iowa Agricultural college. It is likely that this forage plant will otow in Iowa and do fairly well, but there is no prospect that it will be as valuable for stock food as clover and grass. * Dr. Salmon says there are two con­ tagious diseases Renown as hog cholera, one affecting the bowels, the other the lungs. The one is the genuine hog cholera, the other the swine plague. It is possible for an animal to have both diseases at the same time. Sheep are one of the besPpaying things that can be had for north Da­ kota. One farmer got three sheep two years ago, and from them he now has eleven. Another farmer hod in 1883, with addition to other stock, 100sheep, and he has now S50 besides 140 young lambs. The pig that brings the farmer the most money is not toe one that yields him the greatest profit Fall pigs win­ tered over aud fattened the next fall arc almost invariably expensive ani­ mals. Where euro is fed to cattle whole, a few pigs may be kept to fol­ low them without much outlay, but only a few. To make hens lay, says an exchange, put two or more quarts of water in a kettle and one large seed pepper or two small ones, then nut the kettle over the fire. When the water boils stir in coarse Indian meal until you have a thick mush. Let it cook an hour or so; feed hot. Horseradish may be chopped fine and stirred into the mush as prepared in the above di­ rections. Several reports trf death from hand­ ling animals diseased with glanders or .. blackleg are reported. If the virus of - 'these contagious' diseases enters the blood through a scratch or wound, blood-poisoning, and a frightful death follow. Tbe fact is not generally known, and it oughfHo be carefully borne in mind, and neighbors ignorant of the nature of these diseases cau­ tioned. One of the principal causes of heaves in horses is the feeding of dusty or dirty hay. Ordinary clean hay can al­ ways be fed with "safety if 'cut up. moistened, and mixed with ground grain; but to feed the musty or dirty sorts fat very injurious. Clover, owing to its liability to crumble, often gets dirty, even after storage, and should never be fed without being previously moistened. ' ~ V this mixture. Dr. George A. Bowen, of Woodstock. uuta and seeds of native forest trees. He learned that if a board be placed in the bottom of the trench in which the seeds are planted the would-be tap­ root will be turned from its downward course and become more branched and fibrous, making a better tree to trans­ plant. Success in n small way en­ couraged more planting till his little garden nursery has become the source of supply for many planters. W. D. Hoard, the Wisconsin dairy editor, writes: Under do circumstances would we run the risk of dehorning a male or female iu whom we placed any reliance for breeding or butter pur­ poses. We believe farmers have gone into tins business, and especially dairy­ men, without sufficient knowledge of its physiological effects. Not one farmer in a hundred has ever made any study of the machinery of butter production. How should thev know whether it is safe to dehorn a aain- or butter cow? Yet tbev drive ahead just as if they knew all about tiie future of its effects. A correspondent informs the Mark Laue Ezjtress that last spring, when on a sheep farm in England, he noticed several she goats iroru which lambs that had lost their mother were suck­ ling. Tbe owner informed him that this was a very general practice in the neighborhood, and that it was much better than using the bottle and cow’s milk, as the lambs usually, by that method, become pot-bellied and hardly ever thrive. The goat is kept tethered in a warm pen ami her food taken to her, aud when a lamb requires milk it is taken to the goat and allowed to suck.

Made From Worn-Oat Saw*. A wagon, heavily laden with’ a non­ descript assortment of old saws in every stage of decrepitude, was slowly wending its way along Greenwich ave­ nue the other day. The cbrioim colleo* tion caught the eyes of a reporter, who, hailing the driver, inquired whither be was bound with his unique load. ••Jump aboard uud I will show you.” The reporter clambered to the lofty seat and there obtained a closer view of what appeared to bo tbe most value­ less lot of old rubbish imaginable.

Au exclamation of -Wait now. I’ve only two lines to finish," startled the old man almost out of his wits. He had turned the page before his fair neighbor hail finished the paragraph, and so interested was she that she for­ got where she was, aud unconsciously gave her dear self away.

The openings should be mostly closed dur­ ing the day and opened after tbe out­ door air has become cool at.night. If kept clean^the cellar will not need a great deal of airing, but ventilation and dryness will prevent it becoming unhealthy. Lime will absorb the mois­ ture and noxious gases, if they cannot be expelled or their formation prevent­ ed. Charcoal is also a great absorber of gases. In some parts of the south whitewash is the great agent of puri­ fication and cleanliness tu cellars, the walls and ceiling being coated with it. The temperature of a cellar may be lowered by patting a tub of broken ice and salt in it. Double windows are made to keep the temperature at the right point in the summer as well as in the winter. Keep the cellar well drain­ ed and well ventilated and there will be less fever, less diphtheria and few­ er diseases tliat breed from dampness and the putrifaction of vegetables.— Good Housekeeping. Hidden Death in Africa. * Central Africa is the finest hunting country in the world. Here are the elephant, the buffalo, the lion, the leop­ ard, the rhinoceros, the hippopotamus, the giraffe, the hyena, the zebra, and endless species of small deer and ante­ lope. Then the whole country is cov­ ered with traps to catch these animals —deep pita, with a jagged stake rising up in the center, the whole roofed over with turf and grass, so exactly like the forest bed that only the trained eye can detect their presence. I have found myself walking unconsciously on a narrow neck between two of the pits, when a couple of steps to either side would almost certainly have meant death. Snakes, too, and espe­ cially the hideous and deadly puff ad­ der, may turn up at any moment, and in bathing, which one eagerly does at every pool, the sharpest lookout is scarcely a match fur the diabolical craft oi the crocodile.—“Tropical 4/Banking intelligence.

On the other hand, it would seem so to read some grocery advertisements. We have just added a stock of Groceries, everything new and fresh, and they are all paid for, and we own them as cheap as any dealer in the county. We shall sell them on a small margin, and meet all competition. We shall not give away one thing and tuck it on another. We shall not agree to refund money on our 50c. Tea and not on our 35c. tea; on the contrary, yrill cheerfully refund on any goods in our entire stock. We will sell you New Orleans molasses as close as we will sell you Crackers. We will not try to draw you in on sugar at cost and make it up on Boots and Shoes. Our Shoe prices are right and we have built up a large trade on good goods at a low margin. .

He worked with exceed­ ing skill and prudence, mastered the situ­ ation, arrested everv man ted woman con­ nected with the plot, and either hung them or sent tbem'to Siberia. It wa* the cleanest, neatest piece of de­ tective work ever done in Rauia, aud Gresser wa* reworded. He was not only made a member of the Privy Coancil. which corresponds to the Cabinet of the President of the United State*, but was promoted from Colonel to Lieutenant General, only one step below the highest rank a Russian military man can attain. He was presented with a purse ot 60,000 rabies, u pension of 3,000 rubles for life, and a handsome residence, the Utter given by those who wanted to win the favor of the rising star; aud finally made Director General of Police, with unlimited rxjwcr. He is as powerfnj in Russia to-day m Gortschakoff was under the la«t_Qt*ri there never was a man en­ dowed with greater power over the lives of his fellow beings. He is not only policeman, but court, judae. jury aud all, and not only enforces tbe lag* bnt makes them. In Russia every conceivable set of man is regulated by Uw. No private enterprise can be established, no corporation formed, no business entered into without the con­ sent of the state. This law is not the net of a legislative body, butlbe decree of the Czar. Somo decrees read: “I forbid:" others, “It is permitted.” In other coun­ tries what i* not forbidden by Uw is al­ lowed. In Russia everything is forbidden which the law does no! expressly permit or the spirit of the executive power toler­ ate. It is hot the good of the jteople that i* studied, but tho welfare of the despot. There can be no mistake; it is impossible for the Czar or his agents to do wron *. They have an expression iu Russia: “He has offended." What? That is nobody's business. He has offended the police, who accept mxapologies and veldom forK've. Hu may not have violated written w, or even custom, he has simply “of­ fended." nnd that is enongb. He goes to prison, perhaps lo Siberia, as the tyrants dictate, for no court interfere*. |and no habeas corpus is known. Them is very little for tbe lawyers to do bnt bribe the police. Gresser himself has the leputa tiou of belug a scrupulously honest mau, but Gresser is not omniscient, even if bo is omnipotent, and his subordinates make their own reports to him. He listens to no on® else. When Peter the Great was visiting En­ gland he was shown over the city, and among other places was taken to Lincoln's Fieldinns or Courts. There he saw tbe big-wigs, and asked who they were. His escort told him they were all lawyers. "What! all these men lawyers?" ho ex­ claimed. “ How do they live, and why are they tolerated? I have only one. lawyer in all my empire, end I think I shall bang him when I get horn®." There are courts in Russia for the prosecution of civil and criminal causes between citizens -courts like those of any other country, only more corrupt, if the reports one hears be true; but crimes against the crown are tried by militery commissions, at least they are supposed to bo. But in almo-t all cases, except those in which publicity ia politic, when it ia necessary to create n dramatic seasation, and awaken the indignation of tbe loyal subjects, they are secret, attended by no reporters nnd no lawyers, solely by the |>olice.

Thor® have been but five public trials for many years, including that of the Emperar's ossaseina and Vera fiasaulic. In 1H.S6 there sore 703,254 persons im­ prisoned in Ratwia, according to the offi­ cial reports. Of theae about niua-tenths were incarcerated by order of the courts. One-tenth, or 7ll,®*) per-one, were im­ prisoned by the police for cause® known only to themsulv®.*. On the 1st of Jannuy lout there wore 96.272 persons known to be ia prison. Of these at least one-seventh were political offender*, wl o were held by order of the po­ lice. without any other trial than secret ex-parte investigation. It is estimated that 2 per cent, of the priaoneia die before they are tried, nnd 6 per cent, are seat to Siberia.

As they came from tho ball-room, Jeaxmette heard Lenora singing: some­ thing told her that Ray w#s with tho “little tramp,” vet she must go and nee. Aa they reached tho sitting-room door. Jeannette was compelled to clutch ut the casing far support, while her face was ghastly white. . “Oh. heaved*! I knew it; something t *»ld me so. I cannot endure this mis'{tense any longer, or it will kill me. ‘•What a fool I waa for not putting an end to that hateful girl’s life before Hay came home. Yes, there he is, standing and looking at her, with eyes that tell only too plainly that he al­ ready loves her. "See—oh, heavens!—see how he looks at her, and never looks this way. “I cannot cudure it, and I will not! Ray, my Ray, shall not be a victim of her treachery. She quietly glided across the room to Ray’s side. "Ray, Ray, my dear, have you for­ gotten that ii is time for onr waltz?” Ho did not hear her, but waa still Jo it to everything but Lenora. Jeannette laid her hand npon his arm. nnd gently shook it. “Ray, dearXt is L don’t you see?" As she shook his' arm he seemc.l to woken with a start from a hoppy drcam. “You here. Jeannette? Why. yes. I had forgotten about the dance, she sings so sweetlyand still in a dozed, dr.-ainy manner. “But now, let’s go to the ball-room; it in onr waltz." “Ah, you here. Charley ? Oh, come for your partner, I sse.” Lenora caught the sound o’ voices behind her, and. turning around, she saw Charley IL 11 standing near her. while Jeannette aud the young mon she had b en singing for were just leaving the room. But as the music erased, Ray looked licok and saw that Lenora wm looking at him. He went back to tho piano, picket up her card, and saw that the fifth number, a waltz, was not marked. “May I hove this?” - But Lenora said not a word. She looked into his fate and smiled back her answer. The two couple* then went to the ball-room, and the dancing soon Iregan. But neither Ray nor Lenora sacmed pleased with their partners, for every time they passed each other their eyes would meet in a long, loving glance. “I want to tell you that little joke, Ray, after the dance is over; let’s go to the conservatory, for perhaps there are some parts of it that you do not core about any one hearing." “All right, little sister; but remem­ ber. now, the joke must not be on me." Jeannette slightly shrugged her ■boulders in reply, and did not know just what to aay. She did not want to displease him; no, now of all thnes, she could not afford it. but she had de­ villed to toll him her opinion of the "little tramp." and, if possible, save him, as she thought, from a terrible fate. Her chief object, though, was to get Ray to send Lenora away from tho msnsion immediately. The walta was soon over, and the dif­ ferent couples were leaving the hall, some going to one part of the mansion, while others went back to the drawing­ room. “Won t you go through the conserva­ tory with me, Mira Rice? I know that you are fond of flowers, for—you—yon are so much like one yourself.” ** Lenora cast a onick, keen glance at her partner, and ne soon saw that he was treading on forbidden ground. The conservatory was empty when thev entered. When the music ceased Bay and Jeannette were at the farther end of the Imll from the entrance, while Lenora and Charley were just d'-'H-.

Aa they sat there they were entirely biddy n from view by the heavy vines that' had grown up and completely covered the fine, iron wire of the frame. They- were quietly sitting there, ! Lenora exe.ling tyary nerve in h?r body to cam herself, and Charley was feasting his eyes on th ) strange, be­ witching beautv of the girl in front of him. Lenora heard the hum of voice* in tho distance, bjut Charley d’d not hear and did not wish to bo disturbed. The voice* came nearer; Lenora could not see, but knew who it was. Hark! What did she bear? They were just opposite the recess now, but they could not see her. • She pressed her hand clrsaly to her side, as if to f-top the wild beating of her aching heart. Jeannette’s strong, harsh voice sounded like thunder in her cars, os she hoard them come nearer. “I tell you, Ray, that sho is actually a ‘little tramp’ or a cunning adven­ turess. Just think of the way she man­ age*! to outer this house, in an old rough l»ox, and all wrapped up in blankets; and, too, those blank papers were abominable. Sho thought she would create an excitement by throw­ ing an air of mystery about her.” “I do not see how it can be so, Jean­ nette, for she looks so------ ” The sentence was not finished, for just behind them they heard a call for "Help—help—she has fainted1" It was Charley Hall’s voice, and Ray recognized it; and, too, he remembered that tbe little stranger hod been his partner and that they left the ball-room together. He quickly unloosed Jeannette's graxpug hand from his arm and ran Charley met him at tho entrance of the recess, and his fsec was ghastly pale. “Oh, my God, Ray, she fainted and fell over before I knew it! I noticed that she-turned very pale as yon came near, and before you had scarcely passed she fell." “Jeannette, run for tho smellingsalts, and you, Charley, bring soine water and wine, qnick!”' As the two started for the restora­ tives Ray went to Lenora and knelt down by her aide. She lay there on t'.e soft, green gross, nnd her ghastly, cold fa«'e, with it* dull, stony eves, seemed to stare him in the face'and re­ proach him for listening to what Jeannet* e had been tolling him. As he saw her lying there, so pole, so death-like, a great flood of passion­ ate love for her rushed through his heart and shook his verv soul. He gently lifted the (imp little form Jn his arms and pressed her to his bosom, while the warm, loving kisses were pressed to her cold, ashen lips.' “Oh, my darling, you are mine, heart and soul, and you know it. Y’ou, my little angel, my ruling queen. You fought bra-rely with your own heart to­ night, but when I gave you mine von had to yi.dd, and I wm so happy, bnt now, oh. God, what is this that they come and tell me about yon? "Speak, tell me, darling, that it is not true, and that iv all I want “Speak, my little queen; I am with you." And he kissed the still, cold lips again aud again, but she did not an­ swer him. “Oh. God, why are you punishing me so to-night? Why nave you sent hfit* here to punish me in this manner, whqn 1 would die for her this very mo­ ment? I know it i* all false—she* can't be wicked.. No, she is as pure as the augel* in heaven. ” He pressed her close to his bosom again and she slightly moved. “Thank God! she lives." . * He gently laid her down on the grass again and her eyes lost that cold, atony <*xpr?rai~n. She turned her head and looked straight in his eyes. “Please do not believe it, sir, do not believe what she said, for it ian't true. I am not wicked, but, oh, so lonely and homeless." That was all Ray wanted; he was then the happiest man in all tha world. “I did not. I could not, believe it when she told me. Y’ou know all now. and shall never leave me while I live.” Lt nora Iiad closed her eyes again, but a< he fini-h. d speaking she opened them and looked ut Ray. wh 1 ■ that same snbmisdve smile played sb ant her mouth that was for him only. It was awe .-ter and more eloquent than words to Ray­ In tho confusion, Jeannette and Charley had been somewhat detainjd, but they soon came. Lenora drank some wine that Charley brought, and Ray batb<*d her face and hands iu the cool water. In a abort time the four returned to the drairing-room, to rest awhi e. Ray was Lenora's iiartner for tbe next waltz, and as they entered the ball­ room his face glowed with happiness, and be was more radiant than he hail ever been se m before. . Mrs. Bristol quickly saw the change, and divined the cause when she saw that her pet was Ray's partner. Had she not been ao jKWitive that Le­ nora was innocent of Jeannette’s charge, she would never l>e aide la for­ give herself for what she had done that night; tint aa it was, she only looked on with a pleased, happy smile.* As for Jeannette, no one kn«w what she thought or felt as she raw her “lit­ tle tramp" whirling round and round the room Hke a fairy, treading On the air, and Kay—her R^y—waathe hateful creature’s partner, and be had bis arm round her waist, and from the expres­ sion on his face a< be looked 4-wn in at her in perfect Lenora's lovely, dreamy eyes, Jean­ , don’t yon. know nette knew that hr loved 'the “litUe »?

It will Ih. a very easy matter for me to call on her to-morrow morning, when -be takas her chocolate, and season it with a certain liquid that I have iu my room. Ah! my fine lady, we sbaH ase then who shall be mistress of the Bristol mansion!" The Christmas ball at the Bristol mansion had l>een a grand success, and ail enjoyed thamseHas except Jeanette Nathan. The night had Been a beautiful, crisp, stanight night, and the morning dawned bright and clear. Rav awoke with a sweet sensation. He had , been dreaming of the little stranger. He knew that Lenora loved him, and how he longed to make her hie wife immediately, but there was a barrier between them, and it was not within his power to tear it away. Lenora must do that herself by tell­ ing him who her parents were. He lay for some time with the vision of her lovely face Wore his eves. The girl also, felt happy that morn­ ing, yet there was in'her heart a tinge, of sadness. She now looked upon her­ self as one who had merely tasted the sweetness of true love, and then all had been snatched from her and she must carry the burden of her lost love for­ ever. As she stood by the window, looking out over the brood sheet of sparkling whiteness, conscious of something found and something lost, there came a gentle tap at the door. “Come.” The door was open, and Jeannette, with a light stop and a bright smile on her face, entered. “Good-morning, Miss Lina; I hardly expected to find you up so early. When you fainted, you frightened me terribly last night, and 1 was most sure that yog, would be sick this morning; but, upon my word, I believe you are oalvbooking the better.” “Thank you. Jeannette, for yonr kind consideration for my health; but I am not feeling much the worse be­ cause of my dissipation of lost night; it is nothing uncommon forme to faint and I soon ’get over it But have a chair. Here comes my chocolate. If you have not had yours yet stay and lunch with me.” “Tliank you; that will be delightful. No; I never lunch until ten, and it is always so delightful when one has com­ pany." This was just the opportunity that Jeannette wanted, and she was indeed delightod at having succeeded so nice­ ly, thus far. • * The only difficulty that now remained wm as to how she could get the ]>oison in the cup without being seen. The opportunity soon arrived. Home of the guests were leaving and Lenora went tu the window to see who it was. As quick as a flash she drew the lit­ tle from her pockdt and dropped its content* into Lenora** cup, just how much she did not know, but ahe hoped it wm enough to send the breath uf life quickly from her hxted rival. Lenora soon returned to her choco­ late. “How many were going?" “Only two gentlemen.” “Ah, yes, I remember now. They bade me good-bv lost night; two friends of Ray's from Boston." “How strangely this chocolate tastes this morning. Did you enjoy it, Jean-' nette ?“ "Oh, yrs; only I thought it a little strong, and I do not feel very well since I drank it,” “I generally enjoy my cup very much, but perha|»ti I have not yet quite re­ covered from the effects of the ball." Still Lenora drank of that awful steamiqg cup of poison, and Jeannette looked at her with an inward feeling of victory. “Oh*, dear! I feel very uncomforta­ ble! If yon will excuse me I will re­ turn to my room. ” This wicked, deceitful woman rose and went to the door, and just as she passed out she raw Lenora set the empty cup on the table.

Seeley was advertised to lecture at the Congregational church last Saturday evening on the battle of Gettysburg and life in southern prisons, bnt the audience failed to materialize, consequently there was no lecture. The Colonel was so well pleased with tbe reception accorded him .by our people that he remained here during the week. There have been jolly times at the Wolcott Pouse this week, the -last one of Mr.Foote's reign. Among the holi­ day guests of Miss Hattie Foote were Misses Helen and Tena Anderson and Mrs. A.

We notice many of our neighborinc exchanges are making favorable men­ tion of Judge Frank A. Hooker in connection with the supreme judgship. Certainly now they are favoring a grand man for that position. We do not believe a man could be found in Michigan who would fill that chair more acceptably—a man more able or honest. Let ns have Judge Hooker on the supreme bench. On Monday evening last, in the midst of the loud hum and buzz of con­ versation at one of oar barber shops, one fellow suddenly called dttt, “Now let’s all atop, catch our breaths, and go ahead for the rest of the evening tell­ ing nothing but truthful stories and things.” Of course conversation ceased instantly, a dead silence fell upon the crowd, and in ten minutes the shop was as empty as a last year's bird’s nest. We give you this week 54 columns, 1080 inches, about ten thousand lines of solid, substantial and interesting reading matter, embracing local news and country correspondence, vicinity news, general news of the world, stories, poetry, war reminiscences, historical matter, farm and household matter, general miscellany and a hundred nnd one other things, all worthy of perusal. Look us over and see if you can’t find three cents worth. We believe the public are appreciating our endeavors to give them a good paper. MAPLE GROVE. Our thaw has taken a very »udden cold. Rev.

Chief Clerk Youmans was speaking this morning on the fidelity and hon­ esty of the employes of the • govern­ ment. He alluded to the fact that the large sums of money that passed through their hands and the opportun­ ities nffored them of do.ing wrong acts •were very great temptations. He was much elated over the trifling figuses j that were lost in times past when com- j Cared with the large sums that might ave been taken. “The consciences of men,” said he, “make them do their duty." “Excuse me, gentlemen, for interrupting you,” said a clerk. “What is it?” asked the chief clerk. “Here is a letter containing <l,6U0 sent by some one in Washington. The envelope bears the Washington postmark. He states in his letter that he owes this amount, and he wants it to be placed in the conscience fund.” “What is the amount of the conscience fund now. as near as you can judge?” asked the news man of the clerk. “It is now lietween ISOO.OUU and |400,000.” —Baltimore American. Taking Heed of the Morrow. I sometimes look at a pretty boy and think what a pity it is that he’s bound ti grow up and tSeeome a man and get married and drunk and wicked and do all sorts of horrible things. And when you look at the blue-eyed, fair-haired little female child aud think that some day she is going to be a pretty woman with a tight-laced waist, a tailor-made suit, false-hair, and a touch of paint on her face; that she is going to fib and flirt, and deceive and marry the wrong man and have lota of trouble— well, you can’t help asking: "What is the use of it all.”—San Francisco Chronicle.

Not oolf is the judgment clear, but a practical knowledge uf the Indian giro* it nddi- ■ tional furen: -The.under relates to Indian text-books and trot to religious literature dissetuinatod amiong the1 Indiana. We defy any ono to point | out an Indian text-book that i* worthy a place in our schools. We have such i books, but they have been written by Engliah-speakfng people whose im- ■ perfect knowledge of the Indian' language compelled the wndipscaoe of (in moat cases) uneducated iutorpre- . ters. Who can vouch for the corhn-tn«s* of such books? After ten years’ work wo are fully convinced that Indian children can learn the English language sooner than they can learn these Indian text-books. Besides this, what teacher of Indian children is not familiar with this almost in van bin in-, atruction given by full-blnod’ Indian parents: ‘Me want him learn white I man's language!' We have yet to I mdet with a full-blood Indian who did not want his child to learn’ the Englishlanguage.
