The Republican will publish to-morrow a number of letters from leading Democratic Congressmen who have been conspicuous ia connection with finance and tariff. The letters are ia answer to a series of Interrogatories n cently sent them by the Republican. These are: (1) Is there a practical basis of compromise through which the Democrats in the bonss can unite? (2) Would an equal cut of internal and tarin" taxes aöord such a loss? (3) Assuming this acceptable, is it feasible to carry the element of compromise into the selection of the tari3 schedulec (4) Are there concessions of any kind the majority of the partv can oder, without sacrifice of principle? (5) Would a caucus farther the accomplishment of the dssired end ? Speaker Carlisle ays in his opiniou, the revenue will be reduced at the next session. The necessity of an immediate reduction of the revenue in order to prevent a large accumulation is so apparent that Congress can not afiord to farther delay in the '.deration of this question. There will be differences of opinion, but these can be reconciled on some basis which will secure substantial relief. Benton McMillan, of Tennessee, says an equal or nearly equal cut of international and tariff taxes would afford a basis of compromise.

Representative Urekenride, of Arkins, knows of no basis for compromise, lie thinks the equal cut of internal tariff taxes has been given a fair trial and he could siegest no concession that would bring about a compromise. Representative Bre:kenrid9, of Kentucky, Is in favor of a real revision of the tariff, and the increase of the free list by placing thereon raw materials and necessaries. Speaker Randall, of Pennsylvania, believed that a compromise could be effected by a fair and just revision of the present tariff. He favored abolishing the internal revenue system. S. 8. Cox, cf New York, believed there was basis for a compromise. lie knew of several measures which would faciliate the collection of coustom duties to which no objection could be raised from any party. He thought a caucus necessary to accomplish a harmonious end. Representative Collins, of Massachusetts, thought a compromise through a ciucis probable. Gro. D. Wise, of Virginia, and John S. Henderson, of North Carolina, strongly alvocit's a repeal of internal taxes, .especially on tobacco. He could tee no relief by caucus. IMPROVIDENT CLERKS. Inability of Soma of the Government Em3 lojes to Get Alone; oa Their Salarlo. Wafchmpton. D. ft, July 13. Special. Judjjs Ed. C. Baskirk, wbo hw been var etgsged as examiner of the Pension Oflice, is doing well in his place here.' Speaking of the inability of borne of the Government employes to get along oa their ealarifs he Bail to the Sestisw. reporter that he had found no difficulty in savin.; money on his allowance, and had purchased a home and made some payments on it. It is all in the habits of the clerks. Hs who can not get along on the liberal salary which the Government pays has got some pretty bad leak some where. As for living it is no higher than it is in Indianapolis. Fuel, groceries, oysters and lisa are cheaper. Considering what you get in jour house, which Is furnished with ranges, latrobea and bath rooms, rents are cheaper. Meat, eggs and batter are the only things that are higher. Tne trouble among the clerks reminds men of an incident that occurred when Judge Niblack was in Ccngreta. He had procured a young nana place. It was not lon until the clerk came to him and stated that his wife would have to have a servant, and that it would be necessary to have an increase in (alary. Judge Niblack thought it strange that they needed a servant, as they had always got along without one in Indiana. Cut be yielded to the importunties of the young man and got the advance in pay. It was not long, however, until the clerk returned to Judge Niblack and informed him that hia wire could not get along with one servant, and that he could not support two servants on his salary, and therefore must have another increase. Jndge Niblack then let loose a little tornado and spoke In terans more forcible than polite. Tbe clerk retreated in confusion, for the Jndge threatened to haye him dismissed at once. He was from that time content to bold his position on his salary, and found life wss endurable with only one servant.

A Procession of Seren Grand Divisions The Unveiling Sham Battle of Ganboats and Forts, Etc. TU MONUMEÜT. Logasspoet, July 13 .Special. The monument was unveiled amid the shouts of fully 40,000 admirers of our depsned herots. u nited States Senator David b. Turpie and Gen. William II. Giosoo de livered thrilling addresses, recounting in a most touching manner the hardships en dured by the Indiana soldiers daring the war. Tbose who participated in the exercises inc luded many cf tbe country's greatest m ilitary heroes, and the affair was one of which Gass County may justly lee proud. Froja G o'clock tn the morning and throughout the entire day the streets were full of strangers and citizens of high and low degree. They cine from all over Indiana and from every ether State to witness the grand demonstration. At precisely the hour of 11 o'clock the grand processions was formed on Fourth and Broadway and marched through the streets amid the strains of delightful music from tremendous bands and the hearty cheers frcm a thousand throats. The procession ws3 formed in seven divisions: FirstMilitary. Second Patriarchs Militant. Third Knights of Pjtaias. Fourih Artillery. Fifth Knights Templar. Sixth Visitors in carriages. Saventh Grand Army Posts. There are fally 5,000 members of the Grand Army in the city and 30,000 strangers. The following Grand Army posts were present: Monticello, Remmington, Brookton, Vincennes, Star City, Fulton, Kewanna, Rchestr. Marion, Walton, Riyal Centre, Waverly, Galveston, Deer Creek, Delphi, Kokomo, Wabash, South Hand and Lafayette. There is also a number of artillery batteries here. Tbe following letter, received from Hon. D. W. Vooihees, was read at the grand stand, and its reading was cheered to the ecoo: Gemlemes: I have so aniiously desired to be present at the unveiling of your monument in honor of the deed toldlers of Ca-s County that I have postponed my answer to your invitation until this last minnaL To my very deep regret I Und I cn not be there. Others will address you with more eloquence and in better thiemj than I could emnloy, but there is no heart in Indiana that beats more responsive to your noble purpose than mine. Tu9 sold er of Indiana more than 35,003 strm were on every blood-stained battle field for the Union; and wherever tbe Hag with its stars aud stripes of glory was displayed tbere they rallied and upheld it. When the dead and woundei of the great battles ol the war were gathered up and cared for, Indiana soldiers were found at the front, and where danger and honor were alike the greatest. I rejoice that a monument to the memory of those who fell to rise no more has been erected In your beautiful city on the banks of the beautiful Wabash. They fell In the bright morning of their lives, f r the Constitution, the lavs and the union of the States. They gave up this world with its sunshine, stormy heavens and all its aafolding glories, in order that the gorerament should remiia S3 our fathers mils it. They tore themielves away from weeping kindred, from mothers, wife, sisters, and all whom the heart holds dear. They gave up home with all the precious and inexpressible endearments which cling to that hallowed spot and went down in'o tbe valley and shadow of death in order that perpetuity and permanent peace might bless, in all the coming ages, the united American Republic. No memorial honors can be too great, no monumental shafts too high, for the heroic dead wbo thus died; nor can any records or benefactions be too muniScent for those wbo survived and came back to ns from their baptism of blood and fire. Let the American people, therefore, as much In a spirit of justice and generosity unvail monoments'of brass and marble to the soldiers who peiished and at tbe same time provides a law liberally and manfully, for the support and comfort lof those who survived the deadly perils they encountered. The names of nearly 33,000 Indiana soldiers, together with the widows and fathers, upon the pension rolls at Indianapolis, and every dollar o! the millions they receiye is a just tribute on the part of the government, to the patriotism, courage and sufiering ot those, who, in thetlme of its extermity, proffered their lives for its preservation. That pen sion roll at Indianapolis, more promptly, paid by that Indiana veteran Col. Zollinger than any other roll in the Unit cd States, and including in station and disscussions every day, is, itself, a mighty monument to the soldier and worthy of remembrance and mention whenever and wherever Indiana soldiers are honored. Again expressing my regret that I cannot be with you. I am, with great respect, your friend and fellow citizen, D. W, Voohf.es. This grand demonstration was concluded to-Dight with a grand battle between the gunboats and forts on Eel Klver, and a megnuiccct display oi nreworas. A OomU Monk Starrt; .

O'Flaherty, the young chimpanzee who arrived iast week from IJanana Point, AfricaMiss O'Flaherty, is still occupying apartments in the west end of the monkey house, and as yet has not seen her future lord and master. She has held daily receptions since her arrival, and is much admired for her amiability and general sweetness of disposition. Those who are best acquainted with the young lady say that Mr. Crowley Is a lucky monkey in gaining so accomplished and charming a bri Je. Mr. Crowley, who is ab jut to become a Benedict, is ttill in hij large and airy apartment in the Lion House. He watches with great interest tbe carpenters and ironworkers who are er gaged in preparing a cage to the south of his room for the accommodation cf Miss O'Flaherty. Mr. Crowley has, of course, not j-et met his future bride, but Mr. Jake Cook, the keeper, has told him all about her, aad he is impatient to see her and claim her as his own. She will probably move into the cage next door to Mr. Crowley's sanctum in about a week, and he will have an opportunity to Eee her, but at first through iron bar, Mr. Cock will act as a chaperone (in the absence of one of the gentler sex), and will arrarge all the matters appertaining to the dowry and the details of the welding. Among others who are exoected to be present at the ceremony is Henry E. Dixey, who will give his famous monkey remiaiscences at tbe wedding breakfast.

Invitations for the reception are in great demand. SCIENTIFIC GLEANINGS. .turpentine, in coses oi twenty or thirty minims, will not only remove headacbe, but produce, in a wonderful mancer, a soothing influence. A Ban Francisco concern is making n&ndEome pressed bricks out o: coal ashes and cinders. These bricks have stood the severest tests for Btrengtb, and are made without baking or buraing. A new discovery is that by the U9e of citric acid or citrate ot eilver sea-water may be made drinkable. By this nieam coionae oi stiver is precipitated and a harmless mineral waler is produced. An ounce of citrate makes a half pint of water M. Teyraud considers one of the best means of determining the death of an individual to be cauterization by Vienna paste. If the eschar sormi forms slowly and is of a yellow color, or transparent, death may be positively declared, wnila if it be red, brown or blacs life still exis3. Mildew spots may be removed by a mixture of Foft soap, boiled starch, salt and Jemon juice. Apply to the spots aad Diesen in the sun lour hours. Jf the spots be old enough to resist this treatment rub yeliowscapon both sides of the article, then apply thick starch mad3 with cold water and hang out in the sun. An interesting series of experiments has been made by Dr. J. W. Fraser on the influence of our common beverages on digestion. Among these drinks he finds that water is usually the best Ofinf usions, tea or cocoa acts most favorably wheD bread is eaten, and coflee Is the best for use with meat or eg?s. Eggs are the best animal food with infused beverages, and should be soft boiled when tea is the beverage and hard boiled with coffee or cocoa. EngraviDgs may be transferred on white pater as follows: Plsce the engravin a few seconds over tbe vapor of iodine. l3ip a slip of white paper in a weak solution of starch, and when dry in a weak solution of oil of vitrol. When again dry lay a slip npon tbe ergraving and place" both for a few minutes under a press. The engraving will fee reproduced in all its delicacy and finish. Lithographs and printed matter can not be so transferred with equal sacCCfS. Dr. C. C. Stockard, of Columbus, Miss., referring to a communication of Dr. Boyd concerning the insolubility of gelatine capsules.! writes that he has frequently seen gelatine-coated quinine pills pass from the bowels undigested, even where there was no gastric inflammation. lie has never known this to occur with fieshlyfillf d gelatine capsules, nor with gelatinecoated pills, except those of qniaine. The latter he regards as bo unreliable that he Gold beaters, bv hammering can reduce I gold so thin that 232,000 must be laid upon each other to produce the thickness of an : inch; yet each leaf Is so perfect and free irom holes that one oi them, laid on any surface, as In gilding, gives the appearance of solid gold. They era 90 thin that, if formed into a book, 1,200 would only occupy the space of a tingle leaf of common psper; and an octavo volume of an inch thick would have as manv pages as the books of a well mocked library of 1,500 volumes, with 400 pages in each. Accordlr g to a paper read by Mr. .1 hn Murray, before the Kjyal Sjcietv ot E liobnrg, 2,213 cubic miles of raio fall annually on areas with inlanl drainage. Buch areas extend to 11,480,350 square milts. The land draining directly to the ocean hss an ara of 44 211,000 equare miles, of which 33,329,750 square miUs have ten inches or more of rainfall. The mean discbarge from this area into the ocean is G.509 cubic miles annually. The total weight of substances carried by this means to the ocean, is more than 5,000.00O.OC0 toss each year. Wood oil is made on a lar?e scale in Sweden from the refuEe of timber cuttings and forest clearings, and from stumps and roots; and, although it can-not well be burned in common lamps on account of the heavy proportion of carbon it contains, it fcrnifahts a satisfactory light in lamps especially made for it, and In its natural state ia said to be the cheaper of illumlnatirg oils. Thirty factories produce aVmt thirty thousand liters of the oil daily; turpentine, creosote, acetic acid, charcoal, coal tar oils, and other useful sabstaaces are obtained from the same materials. At a recent meeting of the Medical Society ot Berlin, Dr. Lewis made a communication on the physiological effects ot a resinous extract prepared from kava ( JVpcr viethist icHm),o which he attributesa local action similar to that of a cocaine. When placed on the tongue it produces a sensation of heat, which is soon followed by anesthesia. Applied to the eye it at first causes smarting, with an abundant flow of tears; this is followed by complete and lasting anesthesia of the cornea and conjunctiva. Subcutaneous injections produced insensibility of the neighboring tissues without setting up inflamation. In the construction of flint walls, according to Mr. Fowler's description in the Architect, a formation is made between two planks, or ,rames, the lime being poured among the flints in a liquid state; in some cases the largest flints are selected, two courses laid with them one outside, the other inside of the wall and the center filled np with smaller flints and liquid mortar, the lime to be mixed with sharp sand and clear gravel The corners are formed of brick, and longitudinal bands of brick are also Introduced, from two feet to two feet six inche? apart, these bands being formed to two courses of brick, one header and the other stretcher, or, where brioks cannot be had, flat-bedded stones may be used for these bands.

Jacob Sharp slept better last night than for some nights previous, but it seemed to be the slesp of utter exhaustion, and he appeared to be but little refre&hed by it when he arosa this morning at 9 o'clock. His wife sat by his bedside through the night fanning him while he was asleep and giving him cooling drinks, when he awoke, at intervals. After he arose from bed she assisted him to dress for his second trip to the court of Oyer and Terminer to receive sentence. He bore the same listless, indifferent, almost dazed manner noticeable in him since his conviction. He appeared almost unconscious of the attention his wife lavished on him and scarcely exchanged a word with her. Sharp remained sitting in hi3 rtclining chair with his wifa beside him lannirg him until the hour came at which he was to start for the court house. He had been able to take but little nourishment and as very weak. It was 11:30 oc.joi whn he 'mage drove away from the jai), and jast twenty miautes later it u pi d btiore the County Court H'jise. The piny aUghte l and pasel tbroa;u ttie late ma'e for tlum by the pilice throi-TO.

Judge Batre' whose illness yesterday compelled a jtponement of the sentence of the convict 1 man had recovered sufficiently to-da? .o be present in court. He arrived et t i conrt house at almost the 6sme moment as the prisoner. The clock was indicating almost noon when Sharp was carried into the court-room. Iiis suffering wife and son-in-law were close behind him, and deep lines of weariness and sorrow overspread their faces as they seated tbemceives beside the convicted man and fanned his livid face witboot bringing anything like a semblence of color to ir.. Sharp eat with clasped hands and bowed bead at tbe foot of the table facing the bench. His face, almost buried in his chest, became flushed and sickly-lookiog, under the riveted gazs of ail present who were silently staring at the convicted railroad kirg. Mrs. Sharp and the re3t of his family, like the prisoner himself, was silfnt. The excitement waa becoming quite feverish when a sudden hush came over the room as three raps on tbe door announced the entrance of Judge Barrett, at exactly 12:15 o'clock. After calling the court, Mr. Martine got up 'and stated that, as h9 hi ard the defense had some remark to n ake, he wished to hear them. Mr. Mitchell responded, saying that he had no application to put in for a delay, but would move for a new trial, and wished the stenographer to make a note ot the fact. Judge Barrett said that if the document contained Dothing new he would deny the application for a new trial. Mr. Mitchell then road the paper, stating that the trial was an unfair one; in several ways the jury was prejudiced against the client and gave an unfair verdict. Moraover the judge's charge was an nnjust one. Judge Barrett stated that the motion would be denied. District Attorney Martin stood np to move the court to sentence the. prisoner. He stated he considered it his duty to ask the court to appoint physicians to lcok into the prisoner's condition of health, and read some certificates from Drs. Allen, Hamilton and Jane ay, to the effect that the prisoner's health was very bad, and that he was suffering from diabetes, itilammation of the kidneys and organic disease of the heart, which were of serious import to a man oi seventy years. He then read Dr. Hamilton's report on the condition of Sing-Sing and the arrangements for the care of the sick, which, he said, were of a most excellent character all around, and the place was most healthily 8itnated. "In view of these facts," concluded Mr. Martine, ''there ia nothing left for n e to do but to move for tbe sentence of the prisoner." Mr. Mitchf-ll made a last appeal for the defense. He said he did not wish to delay ths court, but would asx the jadge to temper jus -ice with mercy. Judge Barrett proceeded to deliver the sentence. lie said that he had never performed so delicate a task in his whole professional career. He had received many letters from many people plesding me.'cy and otherwise. . Bat a court was not appointed to be merciful anv more than wis dictated by the laws of justice. The defendant here is asking for mercy and can give nothing as a plea for clemency bat age and sickness. On tbe merits of tbe case he certainly is entitled to none. It is absurd to state that he was not guilty of giviag the bribes, as he was unmistakably the leader of the whole aSair. We have not here, aa in the rase ot the aldermen, any attempt to prove the defendant's good character. The crime itself was an enormous one, the raising of half a million of dollars to corru pt haLfa legislature. Judge Barrett reviewea the corrupt action of the defendant in forming a bogus company to contract with the Seventh Avenue railway, of which he was a director, and referred to the defendant's securing $1,000,000 of profit as sheer larceny, for which he could have been indicted just as well for bribery. He added: "What is there to excite pity or merry except the age and ill health of tbe prisoner and tbe mournin? condition of his family ? With over $1,000,000 in his pocket he clamors for mercy without offering to pay back a penny he had stolen. Should he dieor go to prison his family has a vast fortune to fall back upon." At this Mrs. Sharp buried her face in her handkerchief and wept silently, while the prisoner himself did not lift hia face from the table. "The legislature does not allow us to go below the minimum penalty in such a grave cflense as the present is," continued Judge Barrett "All can not be satisfied those wbo clamor for tbe prisoner's receiving the full penalty of the law aud those calling for a reprimand. All things have been considered, and the judgment of this court is that the prisoner be confined four years at hard labor and that he pay a fine of $5,000." An attempt at applaus was made Ic one corner of the conrt as tbe sentence was pronounced, but It was quickly aappressed. As some of the spectators moved out of court Mr. Mitchell etood up to ask for a delay in the removal of Sharp to Sing Bing until he bad settled some aSairs ia the city. Judge Barrett denied the motion, as there was no provision of law tor such a course of action, and he ' did not think it would be deserved by the prisoner ii there was. At that moment a cheer was heard outside as the erneute was unouuctd Of thoe who bad left the court room, 'fie audience then began to melt awty qiicklyThe eentence had heea proaouacsd at 1:01 o'clock. At 1:10 nearly, all ths mre curio dty eeete -s bad lsfctae courtroom. At 1:13 tbere was another excitement of momentary duration aa the prisoner was lei oat of tbe court room, still followed by his faithful wife, son ln-laaraod grandson.

requiring the district attorney to show cause on that day why it should not be made permanent. The stay was granted on affidavits by Sharp's counsel that they need more time to prepare a bill of exceptions, and that Jndge Barrett had said that he was too 111 to give the matter of a stay his atUntion. BEFORE THE CAMERA. A Washington Photographer Talks "Shop" in Convection With Promineat People. New York Commercial Advartiser.l A noted photographer in Washington tells some interesting stories about the bearing of some of cur leading statesmen before the camera. 'I have posed all the membsrs of the cabin en t and most of the senators and congressmen," Baid he. "Some of them fall into position with all the graca of professional actors, bat th9 majority give me a great deal of trouble, ömator Edmunds is one of the worst subjects I have ever had on account of the expression he invariably assumes at the critical moment. He will look pleasant while being posed, smile when told he is all right, and beam on the black cloth while the artist is makla his preparations. Bat the moment the cloth is removed a fi3xa look comes into his eye, his muwles grow rigid, and his whole appearance is that of a Sepoy tbout to be fired from a cannon, w Ucu i cqutbied U tat euuam ra ,.-;, , fjpresKou he complies with a s.ii'.l, wiicti lasts till the camera is agt n insover-!. Tt en gtiu cornea that ii jrce "I'll-die if I-niGSt" expression. I colli never catch a pl asnt loik on bis face "Mr. Blaine is a mo 1:1 sitter. Ha Ta'is In'o pcsulon grar fully aad needi iiu!r aid frcru the poitr. He ia not ea't'j plfRsed, however. He is poMgraj'iN; ritit-of tbe kcar.fst kind and cax the s'jghtp faults ia te projfs Sn tjrme w 8 tiken a half doz siiUa t. satisfy him. "Senator Evarts does not lookell in his photographs, because lie insists on p3aing himself. He has a large no3e, yoa know, and his chief anxiety is to conceal it aa much as possible. Since a generoa3, lofty nose can not, by any effort of art, be transformed into a delicate Grecian feaiare, the senator is never satisdal with his photographs. "Senator Sherman takes a poor picture, because be assume3 a smile whica is foreign to his features. If he would only look grim and stern as he doe3 outside the ph tograph gallery, bis face would be impressive on pasteboard, even if it could not bs called beauti fal. Bat the Senator tries to look sweetly benignant, and the result it aa expression bordering on the idiotic. This is invariably the cae with stern men who try to smile before the camera. 'Secretary Whitney has had but one set of photographs taken since he has bee.i at the head of the navy department, an 1 those were for private distribution. Unlike most prominent men at the capital, he does not care to see his face in store windows. Curiously enough, too, his pictures are the handsomest we have taken of government officials. He is the onlv instance I know of in Washington public life of gcod looks and modesty going hand in hand. "Secretary Lamar is fond of assuming a poetic, ethereal expression, which cornea near to utter blankness. To add to the Impression that he is a poet far above thoughts of earth, he ramples his hair and lets it fall so as to almost cover his ears. He is fond of seeing his face on pasteboard, and distributes his pictures liberally. "Senator Hoar takes well. He sits down, clasps his chubby hands, and lets his face resolve itself into sunbeams. He has the sweetest smile I have ever seen on the face of a public man. Hen ver asks for proofs being satisfied from experience that the camera does him justice because he does justice to the camera. "Senator Sewell ia rather troublesome. He always wants the positionist to poss him in such a way that the little bald spot on his head can be concealed. I have tried it and in vain. The only way it could be accomplished would be for the Senator to place his face hcrtzontally to the ceiling, but when I told him this he got angry. "Senator Fry looks in his picture quite the heavy villain. He seems downright blood-thirsty when he faces the camera and no amount of persuasion can Boften his features. I have tried funny stories, humorous suggestions, and little practical jokes but to no purp ise. He still looked as if It was his dearest wish to be let looe str ong hia fellow citizens with a derringer. "Senator Wade Hampton is particular as to one point only bis hasorns 'DaiduEiies.' When we show hi:n a proof, ba gl&ccea at once at hi side f aie adornments, seems to count ail the hvrs, and if be finds cone missicg he hss no cri icisai tot.rtVr. He pases many miuur foi 11? arranging his whiskers before taking the chair. "Senator Beck takf?, Trhao., the best picture in the Senate. His face is strong and handsome, his bearing manly aad graceful, and his iron-gray curly locks are things of I beauty. And isn't he proud of them, and does a 't he handle them tend jrly? He knows that his photograph is something to be admired, so be does not by any means object to havinz it in the widows for sale, lie gives us a call regularly every tbree montns " "Itia a pleasure to pose Mr. Randall. He has natural grace and perfect command of his features. He can assume any expression, unterrified by the instrument before him. Like Senator Hoar, he never has to come bark for a second sitting. "Mr. Morrison is quite the opposite. His expression when in the chair would excite tbe laughter of any looker-on except a 'positionist.' If the expression were translated into words, it would read something like this: Tve got my eye on you, my man, and if yon make a movement, I will send a bullet through your heart. " "Speaker Carlisle is a good subject. He looks serious and natural, just as he does at his desk in the House of Representatives." Catch a Weasel Asleep. IR'chmond State.1 "The bravest Yankee soldier I ever saw," says Henry W. Flourney, Secretary of the Commonwealth, "participsted in one of the fights in the Valley of Virginia. It waa during Sheridan's raid in the valley. Oar company of cavalry was going across a broad and level field at a sleeping gallop. In the woods I saw a solitary Yankee sitting upon a horse, and I noticed that every now and then (just as fabt as he could load) he would fire down our line. Pop, pop, pop, would go his rifle, and I determined to capture hiau, I entered the woods without hlsseeiog me, and came up in the rear of him. I had a fine sevenshooter in my hand and intended to use it in case of an emergency. I rode up toward him as quietely as I could, and had my pistol cocked ready for use if he attempted fight. Suddenly he turned and saw me and in an instant raised his rids. I leveled my pistol, but he was quicker than I, and the ball from his rifle passed through my neck. A few moments afterward there was a general skirmish, but I was badly wounded and did not know what became of the fellow who shot me and stood solitary and alone In the very face of a whole company of Confederate cavalry ard reblet d theoa." Ills Peculiar Kind of Mole. (Tld Bits.) "Excuse me, sir," said a young man, nndgice a fellow-passenger in a car; "you have a epeck of, eoot on the end of your nos." "Thst's been there for eighteen years," replied the passenger. "It's a oeooliar kind ot a mole, and you are the ninth mn to ask me to sponge that nose since breakfast tnrt'ni a a rule the avtrare Is about twelve a day.".
