An Illinois conductor tells tho following story: "We pulled ttito Alton one day, and among other passengers to get aboard, were two very large colored people of the common ‘persimmon class,* and very Ignorant. As I camo by taking up tickets, the old gentleman dug out two tickets from the deep recesses of his tattered vest, and ss he handed them up, said: ■One of dose Is foh me, the udder Is foh her.* I looked at the tickets carefully, and then, turning sharply to the old fellow, I asked: ‘Which is yours and which is hers?’ The old man began stammering something, but the old lady cut him short by hitting him a terrific whack with her fist on tho side of the head, exclaiming: *Dar now, you Ignorant nlggah, I done told you yuh’d git us Into trouble, and now you see yuh ■done got de law on us?” How’s This?

Z ■ kA

hours we had not been permitted to light a fire lest our movements be discovered by the enemy, who were close behind us. Several raw recruits bad joined us—one a tall, guant Irishman, who had evidently been tempted to enlist as a substitute, not thinking he would so soon be sent to the front. He was very hervous and ill at ease showing the white feather long before he smelled the smoke of battle. Cannonading in the distance seemed nearly to paralize him, and when three of our pickets were shot dead at their posts his face assumed the colpr of a corpse. The boys were cruel enough to tell him that this was a common occurrence and that he would never return to camp if he went on picket dutv. Military tactics to him were yet a blank, and plways would be, for that matter, as the drill master never lived who could make a soldier of Mike Degau. He was placed in the Tear and as it was my duty to prevent straggling I had hard work to keep him in line. Every now and then “crack!” would go a rifle in the hands of some sharpshooter ambushed upon the mountains, and another of our gallant boys lying stark and still along the roadside told how true had been the aim. These silent messengers of our constant danger were a great trial to Mike and he would shake his head and exclaim'; “It’s meself that would be wishing I was out of this 1” We had marched about a mile amid gloom and silence when the ominons order, “Halt 1" was given. I stood near Mike when the command was received and a more pitiful looking specimen of manhood I hate never seen as he exclaimed, “Why do we bestopping here, but?” “Well, Mike,” I replied, “we have either got to stop here cr some one will stop us further on,” for I had learned but a few moments before that a reconnoitering party had discovered danger ahead; consequently we had to change our line of march. After a halt of|several minutes, which seemed hours to us, we started os the order, “Forward march.” Then came the command, “Left oblique.” Mike, now several paces behind his comrades, gazed at me in silent awe, threw down his musket and rushed wildly to the rear and endeavored to extract a huge stone from its frozen foundation. “Get back with you there,” I exclaimed; “have you gone crazy?" “Shure, sur,” replied Mike, “didn’t yees here the cap'n’s orders toe lift a breek ? Divil the breek I see at all begob, and I thought a stone might do, for we’ll all be murdered, so we will.” It was with difficulty that I could suppress laughter at Mike’s definition of the captain’s orders. I did not see Mike again for several hours, when he approached me, looking so wan and weary that I really felt sorry for him. He had a white handkerchief tied about his throat. “Sure, sur,” said he. “I’d loike to go to the ambulance, for I’ve a bad pain in me throat and me knees are that stiff I can’t be using them at all, at all.” I sent him to the surgeon, who must have put him on the sick list and sent him to the ambulance train, but Mike evidently lost his way, for he was reported as found dead beside the road with a bullet hole in his head. The white handkerchief had made a good target for some sharpshooter. No one knows whether it was the rifle or friend or foe. —New York Record.

He Gave God the Option. In tbe summer of 1865. there was a War Department order issued requiring all preachers to pray for the President of the United States in the Sunday morning opening prayer, and requiring all post commanders to see to its enforcement. At the time your correspondent was in command of tbe post at Berryville, .Va., and a regiment of Indiana soldiers. On the next Sabbath morning, spotless top boots, with sash, belt and sword, I went to the big church of the town to inform the minister of the order and as to his duty under it. After waiting some .time, and noticing many faded gray uniforms worn by the bronzed veterans of Lee and Johnson, who had found their way back to their desolate homes and shattered country, once the fairest in all the Old Dominion, the dominie made his appearance and went directly to the pulpit. With order in hand, I marched forward and after giving him a soldier’s salute, haded him the order. He read it carefull, then turning to me with blanched face, curling lips and flashing eyes, said: “Your Government has stripped us of our slaves, our property, burned our cities, devastated our country and taken from us our rights and laws, nothing is left but honor and conscience, these two it shall not take, and I tell you now, I reserve to myself the right to pray God according to the dictates of my own conscience.” “So you refuse to comply with the order, do you ?” “Yes, sir!” Just then I heard an ominous “clickclick,” and, looking orouud, I found the congregation getting onto their feet with some very ugly scowls on tho (aces of some of my Rebel friends, but the preacher with outstretched arms, said: “Let tho congregation be seated,” which was obeyed at once. Turning to him attain, I said: If you refuse to comply with this order, please dismiss your congregation and close your church until you conclude to obey it.” “I shall do no such thing, sir” “Very well, I ■will, then." “But, sir, this people Will not obey you.” “I will see that they do, for I have ithe physical power at hand to enforce it.” “Oh, well, if it has come to that, it * .. ' ■ -

is better, probably, that I submit to I this great indignity by obeying Mio I letter of your order.” “I think that is Iho best for yon. I will take a seat and hear you. Good morning, sir.” The opening hymn was lined out by him and was sung in away, but not with the spirit and understanding of worshippers who throw their souls into tho songs of Zion, but like Humlet’s prayers, who only mouthed their lines. After tho song, the service was continued by a prayer by the pastor, who prayed for everything and body within the confines of the late Confederate States, and finally finished off with, “Oh, God, by a tyrannical, and to these down-trodden people of our beloved South, odious order of the Northern Government, I am compelled to ask your favor in behalf of their President. Oh, Lord, I leave this matter to your option, for I know thou art a just and merciful God. and will deal with him as hordeservetb. Amen.” —Cor. American Tribune. Sharp Talk in War Times.

During the civil War John Letcher . was the war Gov v V‘t' ernor °f the State of <■ IlJVirginia. John was wiaarpuller and slate-maker in poli-XTwI-tics, but not much of talker, but he made one speech to Jeff Davis which Davis

thoroughly understood, and which probably saved Stonewall Jackson from being shelved or retired to some subordinate command. It is in history that Jeff Davis carried into the executive policy his own little personal or spites, such as the almost retiring of Joe Johnston, and notably the assigning of Maj. Gen. Gustavus W. Smith (without doubt the most accomplished engineer then living in the Confederacy) to the command of the forces at Richmond. It was after Stonewall Jackson had driven Gen. Banks across the Potomac and was preparing to attack McDowell and Shields that Jeff Davis, as was his custom, to have a hand in all military affairs, sent an order to Jackson which did not strike Jackson as politic, and which, had it been carried out, would undoubtedly have resulted in the success of the campaign on the side of the Federal forces, and possibly the annihilation of Jackson’s command. It irritated old Stonewail and he sent Davis this laconic reply: “Send me less orders and more men.” On receipt of the message Jeff Davis issued an order through Secretary of War Randolph relieving Jackson from command in the Shenandoah Valley. This came to the ears of Gov. Letcher, and arrayed in his best bib and tucker, with his broad Panama hat, gold spectacles and cane, and his gubernatorial nose high in the air (Letcher was a stiff brandy drinker and his proboscis was carbuncled and red) as who should say, “Am 1 not a Governor par excellence?” Thus arrayed in his best and in high indignation, on a warm Sabbath morn, his Exceljency arrived at the residence of President Davis on Sbockoe Hill. “Is President Davis at home?” queried the Governor to the servant at the door. “Yes, sir; will you step in. Governor?” said the servant. “No, sir;” said Letcher. “Tell President Davis that the Governor of the State -of Virginia desires to see him.” Davis was notified and immediately came to the door, greeting the Governor with, “Come in, Governor, delighted to see you, sir.” The Governor, drawing himself stiffly up, and without further preliminaries, said: “Mr. President, am I correctly informed that you have caused an order to be issued through the Secretary of War, relieving Maj. Gen. T. J. Jackson from his command in Northern Virginia? Is this information correct, sir?” “Well, yes, Governor,” said Davis. “I consider that it is for the best interest of affairs that Gen. Jackson be relieved from his command.” Gov, Letcher: “President Davis, 1 have called on you personally, to learn if this order is to be promulgated, and to say to you, sir, that when Maj. Gen. T. J. Jackson is relieved from his command I shall also issue an order withdrawing the troops of the State of Virginia from the field. Good morning, sir,” and, turning on his heel, he left the astonished President of the Confederacy to his reflections. It is well known that this action on the part of Gov. Letchermut a stopper on Davis, ancl the order was never issued. Tiiese facts were obtained from an officer high in the serv-> ice in the Confederate Government at the time.— Portland Oregonian.

A Forgotten Hero. The actors were Col. Francis Wash burn, ten other officers, and sixty-sever troopers of the Fourth Massachusetts Cavalry, supported by two weak regiments of infantry, not more than sis hundred in all, and Lee’s army. In the pursuit of Lee, Col. Washburn’s command had been sent to destroy s bridge at Farmville, where the Confederates were straining every nerve to reach. The supposition was that the bridge was undefended; but when Col. Washburn got there after a forced march lie found that it had been covered by earthworks. Lee’s army was close at hand, and Col. Washburn determined to do all in his power to hold it there or to detain it as long as possible, He knew that every moment he could delay it shortened the war. With his handful of cavalry he literally charged the head of Lee’s army. There were less than four score sabers behind him, but every man was a hero, and they dashed at Lee’s vanguard with such speed and fierceness as to pierce the strong lines of infantry. That conflict became a fierce hand-to-hand struggle; pushed back by the impact of numbers, the Massachusetts troopers reformed and charged again and again. Washburh was mortally wounded, and scarcely an officer or man escaped injury. His infantry supports were surrounded and captured. Yet the fight had not been fought in vain. Leo got the impression that Washburn must be simply the advance guard of a great force and that the fury of his attack must have been inspired by the consciousness of powerful supports close at hand. Instead of pushing on he halted and entrenched, and Ord’s army, from which Osborn had been detached, came up, and Sheridan succeeded in engaging the Confederates at Sailor’s Creek. Washburn had shortened the war. His fight was a Balaklava which no laureate has hymned, and of which most of his countrymen never heard, but a Balaklava charge with a purpose which he accomplished at the cost of his own life.

LINCOLN’S TIMEPIECE. It Is Now Worn Uy a Fitlsburgli Mun and 1 I« n Valnnl.le Italic. It Is perhaps a noteworthy fact that Abraham Lincoln left fewer relics behind him than almost any other of our Presidents. Though his death occurred such a comparatively short time ago, the objects which, so to speak, are permeated with his personality, are exceedingly scarce. A token doubly valuable on account of the associations with which It is surrounded is In the possession of Harry C. Campbell, formerly Chairman of the Campbell Burner company of Pittsburgh, who Is temporarily stopping at the Astor House in this city. It is a Hall open fuco gold watch with case No. 14,964, which was owned by President Lincoln and worn by him during some of the most trying periods In our nation's history It came into Mr. Campbell's possession Ina rather curious manner. Charles Heyser of Company D, Second United States Cavalry, enlisted at Albany, this State, August 11, 1859. He was appointed acting orderly to Adjutant General Thomas in 18(11, and by him was detailed as orderly to President Lincoln. President Lincoln kept him busily employed during the war carrying messages to the different depirtments and to the front and seemed to be much attached to him. Christmas day, 1864, the President presented Hyser with the wat h he had been wearing as aChristmas gift He afterward took it back and had the Inside case engraved in line script, "To C. Heyser, A. Liu oln, President,: 1864 f” and returned it Heyser carried the watch until February 27, 1889, when desiring to raise money enough to get to his birthplace in Prussia he sold it to C. R Todd of Pittsburgh, who, in turn, on December 1, 1892, sold it to Mr. Campbell. Mr. Campbell has received a great many offers for the timepiece since, TjutThas refused to sell. The watch is a stem winder and setter, and was made by Ligne Droitel. It is a perfeet timekeeper.—New York Advertiser. Snow Shoe Exercise by Soldiers. There are now being made in certain corps of the German army some very interesting experiments relative to the introduction of snow shoes, to permit ot marching and service on a campaign in the severest weather. The snow shoes used by the German soldiers are the same as those that have been employed forcenturics in the countries in the north of Eu-rope-Norway, Laoland, and Sweden. They consist of a thin strip of wood about a yard long, and little wider than the foot, turned under and curved at the extremity and shod with iron. Every one uses them in Norway, and the results obtained are truly wonderful. During the deepest snows the rural postman owes to them the possibility of continuing his service, not only without delay, but with amazihg rapidity. The hunters of the country, provided with snow shoes, pursue the hare and kill it with a single blow ot the cane. The Norwegian soldiers, it is unnecessary to say, could-not remain strangers to the national sport. So, since the middle of the last century, there has existed in their country companies ot light infantry broken- in to marching on snow shoes and; capable of rendering the greatest services in case of a winter campaign. At present all the Norwegian corps of infantry annually perform manoeuvres upon the snow with the aid of these shoes, and in their cantonments, even, get up racing matches on snow shoes. The foot soldiersot the Dutch army are exercised in the same way upon the frozen canals that abound in their country. Finally, in the Russian army, certain corps—the sharpshooters of the imperial family and the Finnish sharpshooters—are provided with analogous snow shoes. Not wishing to remain in a state of inferiority in this regard, in face of his neighbors, the Empeor of Germany has had snow shoes tried in the eighty-second regiment of infantry, stationed at Goslar, on the confines of Hanover and Brunswick. A model platoon, composed of non-commis-sioned officers under the direction of an officer, has been trained in the use of the snow shoe, and thus shod, has executed long marches in the mountains near the city, with all the imitations of battle possible. t . - Insane People Can’t Crr. One of the most curious facts connected, with madness is the utter absence of tears amid the insane. Whatever the form of madness, tears are conspicuous by their absence, as much in the depression of melancholy or excitement of mania as in the utter apathy of dementia. If a patietft in a lunatic asylum be discovered in tears it will be found that it is one beginning to or an emotional outbreak in an epileptic who is scarcely truly insane; while actual Insane persons appear to have lost the power of weeping, ’it is only returning reason which can once unloose the fountains of their tears. Even when a lunatic is telling one in fervid language how she has been deprived of her children, or the outrages that have been perpetrated on herself, her eye is never even moist. The ready gush of tears which accompanies the plaint of the sane woman contrasts strangely with the dry-eyed appeal of the talkative lunatic. It would indeed seem that tears give relief to feelings which, when pent up, leacl to madness. It is one of the privileges of reason to be able to weep. Amid the misery of the insane they find no relief in tears. —The Million.

Greatest Ruins in the World. George Curzon, tho English member of Parliament, recently returned from a seven months’ tour of tbe tar East, and in Riving a Pall Mall Budget man an account of bis wanderings said that he had visited the ruins of Angkor, an ancient Chinese city, with remains of the most magnificent and stupendous character. He photographed the temple of Angkor Wat, which, it is supposed, was built by the Kumers, who came from India between A. D. 700 and 1100. The ruins of these temples and palaces, Mr. Curzon thinks, are the most remarkable in the world. They are situated in tho midst of a tropical forest. Ttre forest growth is so thick that to approach them it is necessary to cut away with billhooks. So dense was the undergrowth that tbe journey to some of the ruins was made in darkness. So little is known about them and so thoroughly are they hidden by the forest that many of the people in the neighborhood have forgotten the actual sito Hotel Swindling by Telephone. A Paris hotel-keeper is lamenting the loss of 8100, which was extorted from him under exasperating conditions. He was telephoned by a person who pretended to be speaking from the Prefecture of Police, and who stated that a swindler who was being shadowed by the police would shortly present himself at the hotel with a claim for 8100 on some pretext or other. The person telephoning added that the hotel-keeper was to give the money, and that the swindler would be arrested on leaving the hotel. The instructions to pay were acted on, and the clever swindler, who bad telephoned to hfs victim himself, walked quietly off with the 8100. It is believed that he belongs to the Paris police force.

Just so.” “Well, I don't think it is a square deal. S’nosing you put a mustard plaster on tbe back of my neck and gimme a dose of medicine.

“German Syrup” I am a farmer at Edom, Texas. I have used German Syrup for six years successfully for Sore Throat, Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Pains in Chest and Lungs and Spitting-up of Blood. I have tried many kinds of Cough Syrups in my time, hut let me say to anyone wanting such • medicine —German Syrup is the best We are subject to so many sudden changes from cold to hot, damp weather here, but in families where German Syrup is used there is little trouble from colds.
