IT IS UNUSUAL.
Roman Catholic Priests Organize a Grand Army Post.
A Grand Army post has just bean formed in Indiana whose membership, •with one exception, is made up of Roman Catholic priests and brothers of the Order of the Holy Cross. This unique addition to the Grand Army is located at Notre Dame, the seat of Notre Dame university. The formation of the pest •was suggested by the presence in the university of so many instructors who fcught in the war or were chaplains. A brother who fought all through the war in the Irish brigade was recently transferred to Notre Dame from anuniversity, and a list of eligibles was a member of the Grand Army and wanted to remain one. The Very Rev. Father Corby, who was chaplain cf tho Irish brigade, is now superior of the Order of the Holy Cross. He approved the suggestion of a pest at the university, and a list ofeligibles was made. Enough were found to make a quorum and six over. Accordingly the post was organized under permission regularly granted State Commander Dodge. Notre Dame has a fine war record. In all, eight priests left 'here to serve as chaplains, most of =vhom are now dead. In addition, there were sixty sisters of the Order of the Holy Cross who went out as nurses, under Mpther Mary Angela, a cousin of James G. Blaine. Most of the veterans among the brothers joined the organization after the close of the war. Gsi. Olmstead, who now belongs to the order, is also a member. The only layman who has been admitted to this branch of the church militant is Col. William Haynes. who is the dean of the law school. Brother Leander, who was a private in the Fifteenth Regiment of the regular army all through the war, was chiefly instrumental in the post's organization.

Confederate General Shelby Commoted
Hla Death Sentence to Hard Labor In the Tatiyard—Sad Experience of Benjamin Allsup.
N a little volume published by Mr. Patterson of Jefferson City, Mo., in 1874, the biographies 2 the members who composed the General Assembly that year are given. Among others, this paragraph A. will be found:
Benjamin Allsup—Born in Tennessee and removed to Douglass county, Missouri was captured by General Shelby tried as a spy and condemned to be shot worked in the brick mill of the rebel tannery at Little Rock all winter as a horse and was released in the spring."
To a group of friends Col. Henry A. Newman of Randolph county, Missouri, the other day related a truly Interesting story about Mr. Allsup, with whom he served in the lower house of the Missouri legislature in 1874. Mr. Allsup is now dead, but a host of relatives in Southern Missouri and Northern Arkansas survive him. Colonel Newman said that he was first attracted to Mr. Allsup by reading the brief biograph referred to. "This remarkable statement attracted my attention," said Colonel Newman, "and I hunted tbe old fellow up, and asked him what it all meant. I had rendered him a little favor once, and being a Tennesseean myself (you know Tennesseeans are Clannish),I succeeded in obtaining further particulars from him. Here is about the way he told the story to me, as I now recall it: 'It is true that I was captured by General Shelby's men as a Federal spy. I tried to conceal my identity under the guise of an ignorant old farmer, but it didn't work. Compromising papers were found in my possession, which proved that I was a spy beyond question. This happened in the vicinity of Little Rock. I well knew the penalty. A drum-head court martial followed and I was sentenced to be shot just outside the camp at Little Rock. 'As a guard was taking me away from General Shelby's tent, Capt Dick Collins, Shelby's gallant chief of artillery, came in and said to the general that he had found a splendid horse for his battery in the government tanyard, working in the bark mill. He said it was very light work and a broken-down mule could pull the beam. 'General Shelby at once called the guard back and instructed the soldiers to take me down to the tanyard, rig up a set of harness of some kind and put me to work and turn the horse over to Cap. Collins. The order was strictly obeyed. The soldiers tied the backhand of the harness to me, and I worked all winter grinding tanbark. The work was easy, but very monotonous. Round after round I went all day. A soldier was on guard with a rifle in his hands to see that I didn't strike for higher wages or seek a change of climate for my health, but all things considered, I was treated fairly well. 'The rebels would come around and poke their fun at me sometimes. One said he believed that "Old Hoss", as 1 •was called, had the botts another one observed that "Old Hoss" was about to lose his off shoe, and then I was given a new pair. One old fellow said he believed I had a sore neck and suggested that a leather collar in place of the chuck one I wore would prove beneficial. He also advised a good feed of oats. All these suggestions were made in good huinor. 'The little conscript who fed the bark mill was very Kind^to me, and would work in my place occasionally, when the guard was not around. But he was caught one day, and the guard called the corporal, with this explanation: "Here's this derned little flaxenmane colt that ain't half broke worki~* in place of Old Belshazzar. He w.J run away and break the mill." I was put back to work.. 'I do not know just why the guard changed my name to Belshazzar. It was his duty to put on my harness, which consisted of a belt around my waist and two straps over my shoulders, and then I was hitched to the sin-gle-tree the guard would "click" to me, as if I were in reality a horse, and tell me he would give me a good feed at night, and also a good currying down in the morning if I worked well. 'All this was fun enough for the rebels and I had no particular reason to complain, as it was preferable to being led out and shoC"as a spy. In this way I ground tanbark all winter, and in the spring Gen. Shelby exchanged me.'

An attempt to classify some of the prominent figures in British public life as tall, medium or short is made by the St. James' Gazette, "medium" being taken as from five foot four to five foot nine. Under tall came Lord Salisbury, Mr. Balfour, Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Cecil Rhodes, Mr. Lecky, Dr. W. G. Grace, the bishop of London, and Sir Henry Irving under medium Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Chamberlain, the Archbishop of Canterbury, John Morley and Henry M. Stanley under short, Lord Roberts of Kandahar, Lord Wolseley, Dr. Jameson, Rudyard Kipling and Mr. Barrie.
A Criticism.
"But," said the argumentative friend, "there is some reason for people complaining at the increase of price for sugar." "Not necessarily," replied Senator Sorghum blandly. "Sugar is unhealthy as a diet, anyway. Where they made their mistake was in not letting sugar alone and saving up their money t« buv stock."—Washington Star.
THE BEN DAVIS APPLE.
Like Grunt's Generalship, It la Often
Criticised but Always Triumphant.
The tree is a good one, bears early, annually and prolifieally. The apple is beautiful in shape, si?e and color, says the American Agriculturist. It is pre-eminently a good shippei and long keeper. For culinary purposes it has no superior in the appearance, palatableness or utility of the finished product. Oooked or uncooked it is, in its season, agreeable and ihealthful. In qualities of solid merit for all purposes to which mankind applies it, except for cider and the hypercritical taste at dessert it is superior to all other apples. This renders it the favorite in commerce and gives it the world's verdict. A few hundred people have for many years debater its quality as a mere table fruit. Seventy millions of Americans and perhaps all apple-using people elsewhere, either not knowing of the discussion or caring nothing about it, buy and use this apple when they can get it.
The Ben Davis apple, like Grant's generalship, is often criticised, but always triumphant. It is a development that meets a need as nothing else of its kind has done. It has pleased the world's eye. It has convinced the world's judgment. It is beautiful, useful, enduring. Its deficiencies cannot contend against its merits. It is not to be judged by the palate alone. It suffers in quality only in comparison with a very few other varieties inferior, to it in all other respects. Apply to it the test of quality alone a comparatively few men—experts of overtrained taste —'have pronounced against it. But it sells for the highest price in the spring. The world's judgment is against them. But, they say, this is when all other apples (have perished. This statement, true only to the extent that this apple outlasts all others, brings into prominence one of its chief merit^— namely, its fitness to sur.vive its rivals.
The Ben Davis will not down. It is an established, accomplished fact. It is intrenched in the good will and sound judgment of the practical millions. Late in the season the epicure ceases his fight and craves it and the millionaire finds it a delight. It is a commoner and a king. It will never surrender to criticism or denunciation. When it falls it will fall before a rival, which nature shall produce—strong where it is both strong and deficient. Such a rival has not yet appeared

To Cure Catarrh
Do not depend upon snuffs, inhalants or other local applications. Catarrh is a constitutional dieease, and c»n be successfully treated only by means of a constitutional remedy like Hood's Sarsaparilla, which thoroughly purifies the blood and removes the scrofulous taints which cause catarrh. The great number of testimonials from those who have been cured of catarrh by Hood'i Sarsaparilla prove the unequalled power of this medicine to conquer this disease. If troubled with catarrh give Hood's Sarsaparilla a fair trial at ODCO
Tho gold-tilled watches at the corner Jewelry Store, range fromj $5 to $125. C. L. Rost.
