A MAN LOADED WITH POWDER.

Saving Life Under Moat Extraordinary Ch cums tances. Three noble heroes of the late war met in Louisville, Ky.» and held a little reunion, all by themselves. CoL Watts led off with a blood-curdling tale of his narrow escape from a horrible fate. “It was just before the battle of ShiJbh,” said the Colonel, “when I was engaged carrying dispatches from our division to another located about 100 miles south of us. Every precaution had been taken to head off all communication, and the greatest care had to be exercised fix keeping dispatches and the like secreted, so that in case of the carrier being captured nothing of a telltale nature could be found upon him. When I entered the scouting service I had four of my front teeth knocked out and had them replaced by false ones. These were hollowed out behind and admitted of a good-sized message being secreted therein. “On the trip that I started out to tell about, I had my dispatch secreted as usual, and was riding along very peacefully in the disguise of a farmer going to the mill, whet I was suddenly surprised by the enemy. I pretended to be very much enraged at them making me their prisoner, but there was no getting out of it, for they had kinder dropped on me. They proceeded to search me and compelled me to take off every stitch‘df clothing. These they ripped up. into ribbons, but of course nothing afidlwas beginning to feel Safe, when, Standing before them there, perfectly “nude, one of the fellows Stepped .up ta me and slapping me on the back, said: " ■ ■ “ ‘Ain’t he fat? He’d make good beef.’ “The slap was so vigorous that out popped my false teeth. That settled it. The jig was up and I began contemplating my fate. Seventeen men jumped for those false teeth at the same time, and it didn’t take long for them to find the dispatch, which read: ‘ Send us 300,000 men at once.’ “ ‘So you were on your way for reinforcements, were you ?’ said a big, rednosed Captain, sneeringly. ‘Well, we’ll just help you along on your journey. Bring up that mortar.’ “Great heavens! thought I, they certainly don’t intend to blow me to pieces. The mortar was brought up and planted and pointed in the direction in which I had been traveling. “ ‘ Double-charge her and stick this fellow in head first,’ said the Captain. They double-charged her and then forced me in head first. Vivid recollectiorfls of everything mean that I had ever done in my life flitted across my mind, and, boys, I actually prayed. But while I prayed I felt them ramming the charge home, and I concluded that my prayers were of no avail. “I smelled the powder right in front of me, and a happy thought struck me. Something told me to eat the powder, and I began on it. At every jam of the ramrod I swallowed an extra-sized mouthful, and when the ramming ceased I could see daylight through the touch-hole. A fuse was inserted and torched off, and no doubt the fiends retreated to a safe distance to watch my flight into Alabama. I heard the fuse sizzling as the fire drew near me, but I felt safe, for not a grain of powder had I left lying around loose. The fuse went out with a sudden spurt, and I felt that my life had been saved. The would-be murderers couldn’t understand why the gun missed, fire, and they began drawing the charge to see what ailed her. Just about the time, they got me out a lot of our cavalry charged upon them and I was saved; .but, boys, I can taste that saltpeter and sulphur to this day. ”

The Shadow of a Hand.

In the year 1846, the inhabitants of Dieppe were thrown into a state of the utmost consternation by a series of robberies and murders, evidently the work of one man. No trace of the perpetrator could be discovered, though one of his intended ' victims who had narrowly escaped, averred that he had only three fingers on one of his hands. The Government offered a large reward for his apprehension, and the police displayed the greatest activity. In the outskirts of Dieppe there lived an elderly lady, of the name of Beaumaurice, alone with one servant, in a rather solitary house. She was the widow of an officer, and noted for her strength of character and personal courage. The excitement prevailing in the town made no visible impression upon her, though the contrary might have been expected from one in her lonely position. On the 30th of April, Madame Baumaurice, who had been suffering all day from nervous headache, retired to her bed-chamber at about 10 o’clock in the evening. Feeling very tired, she sat down in an easy chair to take a little rest. Before her stood the dress-ing-table, draped with curtains reaching to the floor. A lamp was burning behind her, on a little table. The lady had begun to undress herself when she saw something that stopped the beating of her heart. There appeared on the floor the shadow of a man’s hand. The hand had only three fingers! The position of affairs was clear enough; the murderer was concealed under the dressing-table. The lady kept perfectly still and considered what was to be done. After a few moments’ reflection, she went to the door and called her servant, and asked her, as soon as she made her appearance: “Mary, do you kow where Mr. Bernard lives?” “Yes, Madame.” “I had quite forgotten that I have 5,000 francs to pay tomorrow morning. You ’had better go at once and get the money.” “Very well, Madame.” “And lest he should hesitate about giving you the notes, I will give you a written order to take to him.” The gif! waited, and her mistress wrote: . “Dear Mr. Bernard, the murderer of the Rue dee Armes and the Rue Grenard is in my house. Come immediately with two or three gendarmes, and take him into custody.— Helene Beaumaurice.” She gave the note to the. servant maid and sent her away. Then she sat down again and waited. Yes, the lady sat a whole hour in the room, in the presence of a notorious murderer who lay concealed under her dressing-table. There she sat—calm, cool and resolute. The

shadow of the hand appeared from time to time on the floor—the only token of the dreadful presence. When at length the gendarmes arrived, Jacques Reynauld was taken prisoner, after a desperate struggle, and shortly after paid the penalty of his crimes under the ax of the guillotine.— Pohl’s Illustrites Hans-Kalender.

Dueling, Past and Present.

Twenty- five years ago, at the table of a gentleman whose father had fallen in a duel, the conversation fell upon dueling, and after it had proceeded for some time the host remarked, emphatically, that there were occasions when it was a man’s solemn duty to fight. The personal reference was too significant to permit further insistence at that table that dueling was criminal folly, and the subject of conversation was changed. The host, however, had only reiterated the familiar view of Gen. Hamilton. His plea was that, in the state of public opinion at the time when Burr challenged him, to refuse to fight under circumstances which by the “code of honor” authorized a challenge, was to accept a brand of cowardice and of a want Of gentlemanly feeling, Which would banish him to a moral and social Coventry, and throw a cloud of discredit upon his family. So Hamilton, one of the bravest men and pne of the acutest intellects of his time; permitted a worthless fellow to murder him. Yet there is no doubt that he stated accurately the general feeling of the social circle in which he lived. Tljere was probably not a conspicuous member of that society who was of military antecedents whd would not have challenged any man who had said of him what Hamilton had said of Burr. Hamilton disdained explanation or recantation, and the result was accepted as tragical, but in a certain sense inevitable. The most celebrated duel in this country since that of Hamilton and Burr was the encounter between Commodores Decatur and Barron, in 1830, near Washington, in which Decatur, like Hamilton, was mortally wounded, and likewise lived but a few l?ours. The quarrel was one of professionial, as Burr’s of political, jealousy. But as the only conceivable advantage of the Hamilton duel lay in its arousing the public mind to the barbarity of dueling, the only gain from the Decatur duel was that it confirmed this conviction. In both instances there was an unspeakable shock to the country and infinite domestic anguish. Nothing else was achieved. Neither general manners nor morals were improved, nor was the fame of either combataht heightened, nor public confidence in the men or admiration of their puplic services increased. In both cases it was a calamity alleviated solely by the resolution which it awakened that such calamities should not occur again. Such a resolution, indeed, could not at once prevail, and eighteen years after Decatur was killed, Jonathan Cilley, of Maine, was killed in duel at Washington by William J. Graves, of Kentucky. This event occurred forty-five years ago, but the outcry with which it was received even at that tifne—one of the newspaper moralists lapsing into rhyme as he deplored the cruel custom which led excellent men to the fatal field—

Where CiUeys meet their Graves—and the practical disappearance of Mr. Graves from public life, showed how deep and strong was the public condemnation, and how radically the general view of the duel was changed. Even in the burning height of the political and sectional animosity of 1856, when Brooks had assaulted Charles Sumner, the challenge of Brooks by some of Sumner’s friends met with little public sympathy. During the excitement the Easy Chair met the late Count Gurowski, who was a constant and devoted friend of Mr. Sumner, but an Old-World man, with all the hereditary social prejudices of the Old World. The Count was furious that such a dastardly blow had not been avenged. “Has he no friends?” he exclaimed. “Is there no honor left in your country?” . And, as if he would burst with indignant impatience, he shook both his fists in the air, and thundered out, “Good God! will not somebody challenge anybody?”— Harper's Magazine.

Queer, Very Queer, Discoveries.

The excavations made at the city of Herculaneum, buried beneath a shower of volcanic ashes in the year A, D. 79, unfold a great many curious facts, showing that city life 1,800 years ago was very similar to what it is now. There were theaters, gymnasiums, public baths and libraries, same as we have now. There was a base-ball ground, too, and the remains of a man supposed to have been an umpire in a close game, were found buried under the home plate. The score of the last game played between the Pompeii shows they were the “worst kickers out of jail.” We are informed that a telephone has recently been discovered with the following words congealed and petrified in the mouth-piece: “Hello! Hello! That you, wife ? All right. Say, wife, I can’t come—hello, hello there—well, don’t stand so close to the microphone —I say I can’t come home to .dinner. ” “Oh, Charley, why not? You know you promised.” “Yes, I know, but I’ve got business of importance; by-by.” In an adjoining room the skeleton of a man supposed to be Charley was found sitting at a card table with four, others, holding in his bony fingers an ace full on queens. Another curious find was in the house of a plumber, where three bathtubs full of gold coin, greenbacks and government bonds were turned up in a cellar. But one of' the most striking and pathetic Illustrations of the similarity of these old days to- our own, was in the discovery of a skeleton standing before a door, still holding a night-key in close proximity to the key-hole, which for 1,800 years he had searched for in vain. An empty flask in the doorway told the sad tale. He had been out with the boys.— Cincinnati Saturday Night. Of late years the employment of women as clerks has greatly increased in England as well as in France, and in both countries it is generally agreed that the system works satisfactorily.

A Rude Theology.

“Sam, you are getting pretty well along in years,” said an Austin lawyer to an aged darkey; “don’t you feel afraid you will die some day ?” “No, boss, I isn’t a bit afraid of death. It’s how to scrub along and get a libbin’ in dis worl’ what’s boderin’ me, heah, heah!” “Don’t you think you will kinder wince when old man Death knocks at the door and says, ‘Come along, Sam, we have got use for you in the othef world?’” “Not a bit, boss, not a bit. PH tell yer about dart. Did you ebber go to der cirkus ?” “Oh, yes!” “Did, hay ? Well, after de show was all ober an’ yer was streamin’ out of de front door of de canvass, didn’t yer nebber feel sober-like, an’ as though yer’d spent yer 50 cents fer nuffin?” “Well, Sam, that about illustrates it.” “Yes. Well, when de icy han’ ob death is laid on yer pulse, dat’s jes’ about how yer will feel. Yer’ll feel as if yer wanted ter go hum an’ see de ole folks an’ de chums what’s gone afore, an’yer’ll jist feel tired an’ out of sorts, an’ all yer’ll want is ter rest, jist rest. Dat’s my theology, boss, an’ I done got through carin’ what de preachers say. ” —Texas Siftings.

Edison as an Operator.

“Edison used to work the Other end of a circuit with me,” says a telegraph operator, “and I knew him when he was in Memphis some thirteen or fourteen years ago. He always looked ratty and never spent his money on clothes, but the reason was that he was always tinkering with some new contrivance or other, and spent his money in paying for material to work out his inventions. He used to take press in Memphis. He was as fast as they make ’em, and his copy never gave a telegraph editor a bit of trouble. He had a way while waiting for copy of drawing caricatures, illustrating the character of news he was getting, and putting them along in the spaces of the copy he sent into the press. This made one of the papers up there, I forget which, red-hot, and it opened on him and had a good deal to do with his being fired by the manager. Edison didn’t want the fool editor to print his funny pictures in his telegraphic news. He only drew them for his own amusement. When he went to Boston with his yellow linen breeches on in the middle of winter, the manager of the office, finding he was an expert, hired him to keep the repeaters in order. Edison worked a part of two days, and then was caught by the manager of the office fooling with some contrivance of his own. ‘Thought I hired you to keep those repeaters in ordej,’ said the manager. ‘You did,’ said Edison, ‘but I’ve put a kink or two into them that will make them keep themselves to order.’ From that day his fortune was made.”

Legal Intelligence.

Not long since an Austin lawyer was appointed by the District Judge to examine a candidate for admission to the bar. The young man was rather deficient in Blackstone and Greenleaf. It looked very piuch as though he lacked the Requisite preparation. “Do you know what fraud is, in' the judicial sense of the word?” inquired the examining attorney?' “I don’t —I hardly think I do,” was the stammering f eply. “ WeU, fraud exists yylien a man.takes advantage of his superior knowledge to (injure andgnorant' person.” “So that’s it, is it ? Then if you take advantage of your superior knowledge of law to ask me questions I can’t answer, owing to my ignorance, and, in consequence thereby, I am refused a license, I will be injured and you will be guilty of fraud. Won’t you, Judge?” The lawyer was very thoughtful for a few moments and then added, reflectively : “My young friend, I perceive you have great natural qualifications for the bar, and I shall recommend that a large, handsomely-engrossed and richlyengraved license be granted you, in spite of your ignorance.”— Texas Siftings. A tourist leaning out of a nook, Fell on his head near a brook, The hurt he received St. Jacobs Oil relieved, And he says it cured “like a book. ” Great oaks from little acorns spring, Great aches the little toe-coms bring; But for every com That ever was born, St. Jacobs Oil is just the thing.

A Last Legal Resort.

“There doesn’t seem to be any justice left in this country for murderers,” observed an Austin merchant to a companion; “juries are continually disagreeing, and law and order are suffering a relapse. ” “I know a good way to enforce the law, if they would only do it. ” “How would you proceed?” inquired the Austin merchant, with some show of curiosity. “Why, you say that juries are always disagreeing, don’t you?” “Yes.” “Well, then, I’d put the murderer on the jury, and then he would be sure to be hung, wouldn’t he ?” “Yes, I suppose so, but then he wouldn’t mind it much, as long as he got as 2 jury fee for .being 4 hung.”— Texas Siftings. Tampico Tenn.—Rev. D. F. Manly says: “Brown’s Iron Bitters relieved me of Indigestion and nervousness after physicians failed.” A Nebraska man refused to marry a girl because she powdered.

Blood Infected with Malarial Virus

Is more effectually purified by Hostetter’s Stomach Bitten than by any other depurent It expels every trace of the poison from a system impregnated with it, and for the reason that it gives a vigorous impulse to all those functions whose regularity is essential to health, it is a first-rate preventive of malarial and bilious endemics. It promotes regularity in the bilesecreting process, is the best auxiliary of enfeebled digestion, enriches the circulation, and imparts to flaccid, attenuated and enfeebled frames an amount of vig< r which ordinary medication tails to yield. Since it is well-known that persons of a bilious tendency, irregular digestion and a constipated habit or body are the best subjects for malaria, the wisdom of using this fine protective agent in time will lie appreciated. It diffuses a genial warmth through the system, which counttracts the effects of damp and exposure, and defends it from causes productive of rheumatism, kidney troubles and other serious maladies. Isn’t it a little paradoxical to speak of a man as a crank when he is so set in his mind that you can’t turn him? *

MAINE MEN. From Bath. Me, we hare received, under date of May 15,1883. the following statement of Oxo. W.

I consulted one of our resident physicians, but I received no benefit from the treatment, and fearing that my symptoms indicated • Bright's Disease,' the most dreadful of all diseases, I made up my mind that I must obtain relief speedily or I would be past cure. I consulted my druggist, Mr. Webber, and after ascertaining my symptoms he recommended the use of Hunt’s Remedy, as he knew of many successful cures effected by that meditfine in similar cases here in Bath. I purchased a bottle, and before I had used the first bottle I found I had received a great benefit, as I suffered less pain, my water became more natural, and I began to im,prove so much that the second bottle effected a complete cure; and my thanks are due to Hunt’s Remedy for restored health, and I cheerfully recommend this most valuable and reliable medicine to'my friends, as I consider it a duty as well as a pleasure to do so.” BLACKSMITHS’ TROUBLES.

We will give reference to any one for any disease similar to their own if desired, or will refer to any neighbor, as there is not a neighborhood in the known world but can show its cures by Hop Bitters. A DOSING JOWf. A prominent physician of Pittsburgh said to a • ladv patient who was complaining of her continned ill-health, and of hin inability to cure her. jokingly said: "Try Hop Bitters !" The lady took it in earnest and used the Bitters, from which she obtained permanent health. She now laugha at the doctor for his joke, but he is not so well pleased with it, as it cost him a good patient. FEES OF DOCTOBS. The fee of doctors is an item that very many persons are interested in. We believe the schedule for visits is $3.00, which would tax a man confined to his bed for a year, and in need of a daily visit, over SI,OOO a year for medical attendance alone f And one single bottle of Hop Bitters taken in time would save the»sl,ooo and all the year’s sickness. - A LADV’B WISH. "Oh, how I do wish my skin was as clear and . sdft as yours," said a lady to her friend. “You can easily make it so," answered the friend. “How?" Inquired the first ladv. “By using Hop Bitters that makes pure, rich blood and bloomlag health. It did It for me as you observe.” gM GIVEN UP ST THE DOCTOBS. |H “Is it possible that Mr. Godfrey is up and ||B at work, and cured by so simple a remedy?" “I assure you it is true that he is entirely BH cured, and with nothing but Hop Bitters, IM and only ten days ago his doctors gave him> ||M up and said he must die, from Kidney and aM Liver trouble !” ■■ tR In COR P® r day a* home.
