NANI AS!” “Yc»as, suh?" “What time is it?” “ O y a h d - mountin’ done gone, suh.” “The devil it has! What do you mean, sir, by allowing' me

'to sleep on in tins shameless anil unconscionable manner, when an indulgent government is suffering' for my services? What sort of a day is it, sir?” “Beautiful day, Mr. Waring.” “Then go at once to Mr. Larkin and tell him he can’t wear his new sijk hat this morning—I want it, and you fetch it. Don’t allow him to ring in the old • one on you. Tell hint I mean the new ‘spring style’ he just brought from New York. Tell Mr. Ferry I want that new Hatfield suit of his. and you get Mr. Pierce’s silk umbrella; then come back here^ and get my bath and my ■coffee. Stop, there, Ananias! Give my pious regards to the commanding ofll•cer, sir, and tell him there’s no drill for ‘X’ battery this morning, as I’m to breakfast at Moreau’s at eleven o’clock -nnd go to the matinee afterwards.” “Beg pahdon, suh, but de cunnle’s ■done ohdered review fo’ do whole command, suh, right at nine o’clock.” “So much the better. Then f’apt. Cram must stay, and won’t need his swell team. Go right down to the stable and tell Jeffers I’ll drive at ninethirty." “But—” “No buts, you incorrigible rascal! I don’t pay you a princely salary to raise obstacles. I don’t pay you at all, sir, •except <nt rare intervalsand in moments •of mental decrepitude. Go at once! Allez! Ckassez! Shoot!” “But. lieutenant,” says,Ananias, his black face shining, h‘s even white teeth all agleara, “Capt. Cram stopped in on de way back from stables to say <Jlenc"o’d sprained his foot and you was to ride de bay colt. Please get tip, suh. Boots and saddles’ll soun’ in ten minutes.” ■ “It won’t, but if it does I’ll brain the bugler. Tell him so. Tell Capt. Cram he's entirely mistaken; I won’t ride t*>« buy colt—nor Gleneo. I’m going

disarray of the bachelor sitting-room then whirled on Ananias. “Mr. Waring dressed?" “X<so, suh; jus’ woke up, sub; ain't out o’ bod 3'it.” “The lazy vagabond! Just let uie get at him a minute.” said the big man, tramping over to the doorway ns though bent on invading the chamber l>C3'ond. But Ananias had halted short at sight of the intruder, and stood there resolutcly barring the way. “Keg pardon, lieutenant, but Mr. Waring ain’t had nobath3’it. Can I mix de lieutenant a cocktail, suh?” “Can you? You black imp of Satan, why isn’t it ready- now, sir? Sure you could have seen I was as dhrv as a limekiln from the time I came through the gate. Ilware’s the demijohn, you villain?” “Bein' refilled, suh, down to de sto’, but da’s a little cm de sideboa’d. suh,” answered Ananias, edging over thither, now that he had lured the invader away from the guarded doorway. “Take it.straight, suh, o’ wid Bitters— o’ toddy?” “Faith, I’ll answrf yo as Pat did the parson: I’ll take It straight now, andthen be drinking the toddy while j-our honor is mixin’ the punch. Give me hold of it, you smudge! and teW your masther it’s review—full-dress—and it’s time for him to be up. lias he had his two cocktails yet?” “The lieutenant doesn't care fo’ any dis mawnin’, suh. I’ll fetch him his Voffee in a minute. Did you see do eunnle’s oade'ly. suh? Ue was lookin’ fo‘ you a moment ago.” The big red man was gulping down a big drink of the fiery liquor at the instant. lie set the glass back on the sideboard with unsteady hand and glared at Ananias suspiciously. “Is it troot’ you're tollin’, nigger? Ilwat did he say was wanted?” ! “Didn’t say, suh, but de eunnle’s in j his office. Yahnduh comes de oade’ly. i too, suh; guess he must have hyuhd you was over hvuh.” The result of this announcement was not unexpected. The big man made a leap for the chamber door,only to find it slammed in his face from the other side. “Ilwat the devil's the matter with your master this morning, Ananias?— Waring! Waring, I say! Let me in. The K. O.’s orderly is afther mo, and

driving1, sir, with Capt. Cram's own U‘»m and road wagon. Tell l.im so. Going in forty-five minutes by my watch. Where is it, sir?” "It ain't back from do jeweler's, suh, where you dun lof' it day before . yist’day; but his boy's hyuh now, suh, tv id do bill for las’ year. Whut shall I tell him?” “Tell him to go to—quarantine. No! Tell him the fever has broken out here again, sir, and not to call until ten o’clock next spring—next mainspring — they put in that watch. Go and get Mr. Merton’s watch. Tell him I'll be sure to overstay in town if he doesn't send it, and then I can't take him up and introduce him to those ladies from " Louisville to-morrow. Impress that on him, sir, unless he’s gone and left it on his bureau, in which case impress the watch—the watch, sir, in any case. No! Stop again, Ananias; not in any case, only in the gold hunting case; no other. Now then, vanish!” "But, lieutenant, ’fo’ Gawd, suh, dey’ll put you in arrest if you cuts drill dis time. Cunnle Braxton s ays to Capt. Cram only two days ago, suh, dat—” here a white arm shot out from canopy of mosquito netting, and first boot-jack, then a slipper, then a ieavy top boot, came whizzing past the darky’s dodging head, and, finding expostulation vain, that faithful servitor bolted out in search of somo ally more potent, and fodnd one, though not the one he sought or desired, just 'entering the adjoining room. A big fellow, too—too big, in fact, to be seen wearing, as was the fashion in the .sixties, the shell jacket of the light artillery. lie had a full round . body, and a full round ruddy faec, and a little round visorless cap cocked on one side of a round head, not very full of brains, perhaps, yet reputed to be fairly stocked with what is termed “horse sense.” His bulky legs were thrust deep in long boots, and ornamented, so far as the skintight breeches of sky blue were concerned. with a scarlet welt along the seam, a welt that his comrades were wont to say would make a white mark on his nose,, so red and bulbous was that organ. He came noisily in from the broad veranda overlooking the pinf* ground, glanced about on the

all on account of your bringing me in at that hour lust night. Tell him I’ve \ gone, Ananias. Let me in. Waring, there's a good fellow.” - “Go to blades, Doyle!” is the unfeeli ing answer from tl.e other side. “I'm bathing'.” And a vigorous splashing follows the announcement. “For the Lord's sake. Waring, let me in. Sure, I can't see the colonel now. If I could stand him off until review and inspection's over and he’s had his dhrink he’d let theu whole thing drop; but that blackguard of a sinthry has given us away. Suro I told you he would.” “Then slide down the lightning-rod! Fly up the chimney! Evaporate! Dry up and blow away, but got out! You can't come in hero.” “Oh, for mercy’s sake. Waring! Sure ’tvras you that got me into the scrape. You know that I was dtiruuk when you found me up the levee. Yon made me come down when I didn't want to. Hwat did I say to the man last night, anyhow?” “Say to him? Poor devil! why, you never can remember after you’re drunk what you’ve been doing the night before. Some time it'll be the death of yon. You abused him like a pickpocket—the sergeant of the guard and everybody connected with it.” “Oh, murther! murther! murther!” groaned the poor Irishman, sitting down and covering his face with his hands. “Sure, they’ll court-martial me this time without fail, and I know it. For God’s sake, Waring, can’t ye let a feller in and say that I’m not here?” “Hyuh, dis way, lieutenant,” whispered Ananias, mysteriously. “Slip out on de po’ch and into Mr. Pierce’s room. I’ll tell you when he’s gone.” And in a moment the huge bulk of the senior lieutenant of Light Battery “X” was being boosted through a window opening from the gallery into the bachelor den of the junior second lieutenant. No sooner was this done than the negro servant darted back, closed and bolted the long green Venetian blinds behind him, tiptoed to the bedroom door, and, softly tapping, called: “Mr.Waring! Mr.Waring! get dressed quick as you can, suh! I’ll lat out tout uniform in hyuh.”

"I tell you, Ananias,’ I'm going to town, sir; not to any ridiculous review. Go and get what f ordered you. Sec that I'm properly dressed, sir, or I’ll discharge you. Confound you,' sir, there isn’t a drop of Florida water in this bath, and none on my bureau! Go and rob Mr. Pierce—or anybody.” Hut Ananias was already gone. ^ 'arting out on the gallery, he took a ^ -der through the window of the adjoin. ut> quarters through which Mr. had escaped, snatched a long flask h oln ^e dressing table and was bark in t >lc twinkling of an eye. “What t -camc Mr. Doyle?” asked Warin'* a% he thrust a bare arm through a na. tow aperture to receive the spoil. "Do u’t let him get drunk; he’s got to go ,to review, sir. If he doesn’t. Col. lira*, on maJ' be so ir-con' siderato as to inq\ ’•ire why both the lieutenants of ‘X’ bakery are missing. Take good care of hin* roview» sir, then let him go to g» 'as-s: aat| d°n t you dare leave me witw '°ut Honda water again if you have to burglarize the whole post. What's .Mr. Doyle doing, sir?”

“Peckin sfroode bliu »in Air. i *cree s room, suh; lookin’ tof de oade\”. i done tole him de cunacl vVns ah.ter Sum, but he ain't, suh.” chuckled Ananias. “I fixed it all right "'id de gyahd dis mawnin, suh. Dey won’ tell ’bout his cHttin* up las’ night. He’d forgot de whole t'ing, Suh: he allays does: he never does know what's happened de night befo\ lie wouldn't ’a’ known about dis, but I told his boy Jim to tell him ’bout it ahter stables. I told Jim to sweah dat dey'd repohted it to de eunnle.” “Very well, Ananias: very well, sir; you’re a credit to your name. Sow pro and carry out my orders. Don't forget ('apt. Cram's wagon. Tell J offers to be here with it on time." And the lieutenant returned to his bath without waiting for reply. “Ye-as, suh." was the subordinate, answer, as Ananias promptly turned, and, whistling cheerily, went banging out upon the gallery and clattering down the open stairway to the brickpaved court below, liere he as promptly turned, and, noiseless as a cat, shot up the stairway, tiptoed back into the sit-ting-room, kicked oil his low-heeled slippers, and rajfldly, but with hardly an audible sound, resumed the work on which he liad been engaged—the arrangement of his master's kit. Already, faultlessly brushed, folded and hanging over the bael: of a chair close by the chamber door were the bright blue, scarlet-welted battery trousers then in vogue, very snug at the knee, very springy over the foot. Underneath them, spread over the square back of the chair, a dark-blue, single-breasted frock-coat, hanging nearly to the tloor. its shoulders decked with huge epaulettes, to the right one of which were attached the braid and loops of a heavy gilt aiguillette whose glistening pendants were hung temporarily on the upper button. On the seat of the chair was folded a broad soft sash of red silk net, its tassels carefully spread, lleside it lay a pair of long buff gauntlets, new and spotless. At the door, brilliantly polished, stood a pair of buttoned gaiter boots, the heels decorated with small glistening brass spurs. In the corner, close at hand, leaned a long, curved sabpr, its gold sword-knot, its triple-guarded hilt, its steel scabbard and plated bands and rings, as well as the swivels .and buckle of the black sword-belt, showing the perfection of finish in manufacture and care in keeping. From a round leather box Ananias now extracted a new gold-wire fourragere, which he softly wiped with a sill; handkerchief, dandled lovingly an instant the glistening tassels, coiled it carefully upon the sash, then producing from the same box a long scarlet horsehair plume he first brushed it into shimmering freedom from the faintest knot or kink, then set it firmly through its socket into the front of a gold-braided shako whose black front was decked with the embroidered cross cannon of the regiment, surmounted by the arms of the L nited States. This ho noiselessly placed upon tho edge of the riiantle. stepped back to co.mplaeently view his work, flicked off apossible speck of dust on the sleeve of the coat, touched with a chamois-skin the gold crescent of the nearest epaulette, then softly, noise- : lossly as before, vanished through the door-way, tiptoed to the adjoining window, and peeked in. Mr. Doyle ! had thrown himself into Pierce's armj chair, and was trying to read the morning paper. £ *

turner waat _uars er fierce " in say w hen he gits back from breakfast,” was Ananias’ comment, as he sped softly down the stairs, a broad grin on his black face, a grin that almost instantly gave place to preternatural solemnity and respect as, turning sharply on the sidewalk at the foot of the stairs, he came face to face with the battery commander. Ananias would have passed with a low obeisance, but the captain halted him short. ‘•Where's Mr. Waring, sir?” “Dressin’ fo’ inspection, captain.” “He is? I just heard in the messroom that he didn’t propose attending —that he had an engagement to breakfast and was going in town.” “Ye-as, sub, ye-as, suh, Gen. Rosseau, snh, expects de lieutenant in to break1 fast, but the moment he hyuhd ’twas review he ohdered me to git everything ready, suh. I’s goin’ for de baj colt now. lleg pahdon, captain. ^ dc lieutenant says is de captain goin’ tc wear gauntlets or gloves dis mawnin”. He wants to do just as de captain does suh.” What a merciful interposition of Divine Providence it is that the Africa! cannot blush! Capt. Cram looked sus piciously at the earnest, unwinking black face before him. Some memory of old college days flitted through hi: mind at the moment. “O lvunopes!’ (“thou dog-faced one!”) he caughi himself muttering, but negro diplo macy was too much for him, and th< innocence in the face of Ananias wouh have baffled a man far more suspicious Cram was a fellow who loved his batter; and his profession as few men loved be

fore. lie was fall of big ideas in one way and little oddities in another. Undoubted ability had been at the bottom oi his selection over the head of many a senior to command one of the light batteries when the general dismounting took place in -60. Unusual attractions of person had won for him ! a wife with a fortune-only a little later. I The fortune had warranted a short leave abroad this very year, (lie j would not have taken a day over sixty, | for fear of losing his light battery). He had been a stickler for ganntleta ! on all mounted duty when he went < away, and he came home converted to white wash-leather gloves because the British horse-artillery wore no olher, ; “and they, sir, are the nattiest In the world.” He could not tolerate nn officer whose soul was not aflame With enthusiasm for battery duty, and iso was perpetually at war with Waring, who dared to have other aspirations. 1 He delighted in a man who took pride in his dress and equipment, an Or so rejoiced in Waring, who, more than any subaltern ever attached to “X,” , was the very glass of soldier fashion and mold of soldier form. He, had dropped in at the bachelor mess just j in time to hear some gabbling youngster blurt out a bet that Sam Waring ' would cut review and keep his tryst in town, and he had known him many a | time to overpersuade his superiors-into ' excusing him- from duty on pretext of social claims, and more than once icto pardoning deliberate absence, lint he and the post commander had deemed it high time to block all that nonsense iu future, and had1 so informed him, and' j were nonplussed at Waring’s cheery L acceptance of the' implied rebuke and most airy, grace.lScd and immediate j change of the subject. The whole gar* j risen was chucklingover it by night. [to BE COWnXCED.J

POWER OF TELESCOPES. Comparative Figures Showing the Weak* ness of the Human Eye. The followin'? careful statement by | Prof. E. S. Ilolden on the power of the ! eve and the telescope as they are con- ; trasted in actual experience, is of spei eial and permanent interest: If the ! brightness of a star seen with the eye ! alone is one, with a two-inch telescope i it is 100 times as bright; with a fourinch telescope it is 400 times as ; bright: eight-inch telescope it is j 1,000 times as' bright; sixteen-inch I telescope it is 6,400 times as bright; | thirty-two-inch telescope it is ‘25,000 I times as bright; thirty-six-inch telI escopa it is 02,400 times as bright. | That is. stars can be seen, with the | thirty-six-inch telescope which are S0,j 000 times fainter than the faintest star visible to the naked eye. While the magnifying power which can be successfully used on the five-inch telescope is not above 400, the- thirty-six-inch telescope will permit a magnifying power of more than 2,000 diameters on suitable objects, stars, for example. This power cannot be used on the moon and planets with real advantage for many reasons, but probably a power of 1,000 or 1,500 will be the maximum. The moon will thus appear under the same conditions as if it were to be viewed by the naked eye at a distance of, say, 200 ! miles. This ia the same as saying that objects about 300 feet square can be recognized, so that no village or great canal or even large edifice can be built on the moon without our knowledge. Highly organized life on the moon will make itself known in this indirect way if it exists. If one were looking at the earth under the same conditions, the i great works of hydraulic mining, or J the great operations of Dakota farms ! or California ranches would be obvious.

PEPPERMINT PLANTS. I Fifteen Thousand Tons Cultivated Yearly In the Wolverine State. More than one-half of all the oil of [ peppermint, spearmint and tansy used ! in the world is said by the New York 1’ost to be produced and distilled in Michigan. The center of the industry is St. Joseph county. Peppermint plants weighing fifteen thousand tons i vrjjen dried are cultivated every year , its the state. From these the essential | oils are distilled. Early in spring the 1 roots are planted in furrows from- two j to three feet apart. In a day a good ■ workman trill plant an acre with : them. A few weeks later the rows meet and cover the entire ground. In 1 September the plants mature. They are then covered with fragrant pnrple blossoms and the time has arrived for mowing. After lying in the sun tc 1 dry they are raked into heaps and I taken to the distilleries, of which j there are about one hundred and fifty in the state. It is ^estimated that three hundred and fifty pounds of dried peppermint plants produce one j pound of oil. The yield per acre is fifteen pounds of oil. Distilled peppermint brings from one dollar and twentyfive cents to five dollars per pound in the home market. The industry was originally established in Mitcham, • Eng., about one hundred and fifty J years ago. Early in the present 1 century a beginning was made in this country in Wayne county, N. Y., and in St. Joseph, Mich. To-day ninetenths of the entire product of the world is made in the United States. The rich alluvial soil so abundant \e ; Michigan, together with its desirable climate, has enabled the state to take precedence over any other state or ! coun try in this industry. An Efficient Physicist. Among the “characters” in a certain little Hoosier town is an Irishwoman by the name of Lynch. Not long ago Mrs. Lynch made a visit to the town cemetery. The sexton welcomed the old lady with a mournful smile and said, sympathetically: “You have quite a number of little , graves to look tfter, Mrs LynchV1’ “Yis, God be praised. I hov. I hoT , nine childer buried here." “What physician do you employ, i Mrs. Lynch?” “Dochter Brown, Hivin bless him. He’s the only dochter in town who ■ understood the constitution of me . ehilclas."
