A common story was to the effect that a Muramasa sword was puce on a time pledged to a pawnbroker. The fellow i thought, this a fine opportunity to parade himself as a gentleman,'and, accordingly, on a festival day lie wore the sword. Quarreling with some idle fellows, he essayed to use the weapon, but his unfamiliarity with it excited the derision of the bystanders, who .sftrinercifully ridiculed his bungling manner. But the i) merriment of these individuals was short lived. The sword itself took the matter in hand, as though the' fhnnts Impugned its own skill, and soon laid low all its traducers. Thon it turned against the unfortunate pawnbroker and killed him. Another story is thi| basis of a popular Japanese drama, and tells of the adventines of a samurai with a strange sword V which ho had borrowed from a pawnbroker. Ho lightly hit a man with the blade without apparently wounding him in the least. Some time after thfrman suddenly dropped dead, and it was found that the sword had inflicted a mortal wound even when it had scarcely drawn blood. Upon examination this was found to be fi Muramasa, which, -though coming from the dishonor of a pawnshop and carried in the hands of an inoeinpotcnt, had thus made mauifest its power.-— Lyman Horace Weeks in Lippincott’* s, ■ “ <

Farmer Who Placed Valuables In a Ragbag Wishes He Had Not. Liberty, Ind., April 21. —Fletcher Highly, a wealthy farmer north of this city, some time ago banked S2OO good money in his w ife's ragbag, and last week he placed therein his own gold, watch as well as one belonging to his wife. Soon after Airs. Highly sold the bag and contents to a peddler without knowing of the valuables concealed therein. The peddler was followed, only to find that he had already shipped the goods via Richmond to an eastern rag firm, so that there is little liklihood that Mr. Highly will ever recover anything.

SOME SIGNS OF APPROACHING AGE. How a Man Showed That He Was Growing Old Without Knowing A man, apparently slightly past middle life, whose hair was tinged with gray and noticeably thin on top, sat near me at a theater. As the curtain rose for the first time a spectacled man of about the same age entered and occupied the vaeaut seat between us. He looked at the other fixedly. The look was exchanged, and in a second each had the other cordially by the hand. The con-' versation told that they had been schoolmates who had not met in many years. “By Jove, Charlie,’’ exclaimed the first, “it does me good to see you. Yo« haven’t changed much more than I have, and I am uot a day older than when we got our diplomas.’’ “I can’t quite agree with you, Tom,” answered the other, “but I don’t feel very old yet. 1 see you still enjoy the theater, and I suppose you have kept up your literary tastes for the past 30 years. ” “Thirty years!” repeated Tom. “How, the years fly! Do you remember how they used to drag? Theaters! Well, I do go now aud then, but tho plays and acting are not what they used to be. As to books, I still read them, but none of the modern trash. There hasn’t been a good book written for a quarter of a century. Tho new ones give me the dyspepsia worse than what I eat. Do you remember the meals we had on the old Vermont farm? Those were happy days. ’ Thirty years and more ago! titrange, hut I don’t show a sign of age. I wonder where this confounded draft is coming from. I feel neuralgia on top of my head now. ” “Tom, old boy,replied the other, “you are deceiving yourself, foi' you have shown marked signs of approaching age within three minutes. Your belief that theaters and actors have degenerated, that new hooks are below thestandard, tiiar childhood cooking was perfection and that time flies so very fast are all indications that you are on the down hill side of life. The slight draft that you say brings a tinge of neuralgia to the top of your head, where, Inotice, the hair is rather thin, wouldn’t have been thought, of 30 years ago. Then here you are in the very front seat of a theater. No use denying the signs, Tom. We are getting along aud must admit what others plainly see."—New York Material For Cavalry. i While the United States does not , boast of a large standing army; the few i regiments of cavalry which have seen 1 service on the plains will not only com- * pare favorably with the mounted men of other nations, but for the particular kind of work to which they have been trained they are without equals in the world. We have had no reason to keep them in training, but if put to the test we could certainly raise a magnificent army in a very short time. Unlike the early days of the recent rebellion, we Would have plenty of horsemen to call | upon. Whereas, in earlier days, equestrian- ■ ism was unknown f comparatively speak- i ing, it has in later days become so’ general as a.meaus of exercise, recreation and health that old aud young are fairly good riders. The various sports of polo, hunting aud racing have served to stimulate interest in equitation. The military troops formed throughout the country are also factors. All of these sources would bo drawn upon for officers rather than for private soldiers. They do not represent a large number in comparison with the force necessary to'eopo with a foe, bitt they would certainly prove a valuable nucleus on which to build.—Rider and Driver, i A' . - Wouldn't Need It.

PEFFER RESOLUTION He Is Confident the Boi d Issue Investigation Will Pass. INDIAN APP'C'RIATION BILL. Senator on I i»<* Bond Ismie Measure* Much Pushing and Jostling Anticipated in the House This 'Week Preparatory' to an Early Adjournainrut. Other Capital New*. Washington, April 20.—The proceedings in the senate today are expected to open with a contest for right of way between the appropriations committee and the friends of the Peffer resolution for an investigation of the recent bond sales. Senator Pettigrew, • who is in charge of rhe Indian appropriation bill, which has been only partially considered, will make an effort to get the bill up immediately after disposal of the routine business of tho morning hour. S nator Peffer is anxious not to antagonize the appropriation lulls, but ho thinks that the debate on tlie bond investigation resolution could be concluded in another day or two. He has not yet decided whether he will yield to tlie entrf aties of rhe appropriations-coinnnttee tir allow tlie question to go to a vote. He is confident that his resolution will pass when a vote upon it is reached, and is of the opinion that after Senator Hill concludes his specHi there will be uo great prolongatisuxn the debate. There are at least two or three days more'of work on the Indian appropriut’ion bill. Tlie question of the abolition of sectarian schools will still call out; considerable debate. Senator Platt will offer as an anieiidment to the bill the plan agreed upyn by the comniittee on “ Indian affairs for a general settlement of affairs in Indian territory and this will develop discussion, as will also the provisions for the settlement of the claims of the Cherokee old settlers and in regard to the freed men of the territory. The Indian bill will be followed by the naval appropriation bill and that by the sundry civil appropriation bill, though neither may be reached this week. Tlie latter lias not yet been reported to the senate, but -will be during the week. HOUSE FOKECAST. Much Crowding Expected Preparatory to Early Adjournment. Washington, April 20.—The programme for tlie coining week in tlie house is very unsettled. Mr. Henderson, chairman of the judiciary committee, has given notice that he will call up the bankruptcy bill for consideration on Wednesday i r Thursday, but the approach of the “ iid of the session has made alEmembers interested in particular legislation very* active, and from now* on there will be much jostling and crowding for the right of way. It seems probably that Air. Henderson will be crowded out this week ar least. First of all Mr. Cannon, chairman of the appropriations committee is de- ‘ Jerniined to push through the general aeficiency biil, 1 - the last of the supply bills, at the earliest moment and as appropriation bills are privileged he can be kept out only by a vote of the house. He does not expect the deficiency bill to consume mere than a day, two bays at most. Mr. Pifkl’-r. chairman of the oommitree on iilValid pensions, is very much in earnest in his purpose to bfiiigjn the general pension bi IF reported i torn his ! committee ami . intends to press it at i every opportunity.
