In language chaste and sentiments patri-
lotic, recalled the many deeds of valor
upon the tented field by the veterans of the
Fourth Georgia Volunteers, and after ten
dering his home and heart to the veterans,
he would give such as he had to them and

fields. The association by a rising vote ac

A MISERABLE MISER.

Startling llevelallon-Hls Mltli, Castle Kilieil I
; With Wealth.
| Matawan, N. J., August 24.—John Van
Senanck, a miser, who lives at his old
| homestead at Bradwell, near here, having '
had two paralytic strokes and believing lie
was dying, sent for Judge Spader, Lafay
ette Conover and Charles E. Conover. Hu
was found laying on a half-broken bed.
[ The house is 85 years old. Van Schanck is !
i seventy-two years old and has S
t always lived in this same house. '
It is made of old-fashioned shiugles,
I every hole in the shingles was made with
a gimlet and the nails are clinched on the
i other side. The shingles are all lined with
j three-inch plank. The windows are one
I foot wide and three feet high. The stairs I
i leading from the first to the second floor i
are cut out of a solid tree. The doors are ;
1 all seven inches thick. All around the
| house runs an oak fence. Every picket is ]
fastened to a rail with a nut and bolt :
| so that it is impossible to break
one. The pickets could only be '
taken off with a saw. This fence ;
was put up by the miser five years ago j
so that no one could intrude on his i
grounds. The house is a veritable castle
and well nigh impregnable. For five ;
years Sehanek has declined to see any of :
his relatives,or to permit any one to enter. !
He lived on bread and potatoes. Once a I
year he killed a pig and made that lust j
him for months. He did his own cooking;
a loaf of bread sufficed him a week. He
has four horses, of which he was very fond, '
in the old barn. All the mangers were j
made of iron. The miser spent money in !
but one way; he bad a perfect craze for old
muskets and pistols.
It was a curious sight that greeted Judge
Bpader and the Conovers when they en
tered the house. The dirt was an inch
thick all over the house. Schanck said a
broom had not been seen about the place
for eight years. The furniture was musty
and moth-eaten. Judge Spader says there
were thirty-four muskets and seven big
army pistols, altogether about 100 firearms
of different kinds. The miser was lying
on his bed, mortally ill. He said he had
made a will which was to be opened after
his death. He remarked: “It you will
look around carefully, gentlemen, you will
find something to surprise you.” They
then began a search. An old musket bar
rel was found filled with silver and gold
coins worth $300. A stocking full of
greenbacks was found in the garret, and
in an ancient bureau drawer along with a
lot of old iron were $1000 in gold and sil
ver, and in a rickety wash-stand drawer
was a pile of notes much soiled tied with
tarred rope. They aggregated $8000. Be
fore the search ended last night they dis
covered $30,000 secreted in various parts of
the house. Two remained all night with
the old man and this morning they re
newed the search. It is doubtful whether
the miser will live the night out. Great
curiosity is expressed as to the will. It
is believed Schanck drew it himself.
Schanek’s pets were squirrels. Four years
ago he built a house of iron, close to the
homestead, which he devoted to squirrels.
Further developments of wealth are ex
pected, and the affair causes great interest.

did it if there wasn’t a boy near and the
house was full of girls.
And just as soon as a little boy wnnts to
have some fun making mud pies, or tying
tin cans to the dog’s tail, or throwing
brickbats at other little boys, or tying
strings across the wnlk to throw folks
down, or some other innocent amusement,
some meddlesome person runs oft’ and tells
his mamma, and she comes and spnnks
him or shuts him up in a dark closet. I
think that's cowardly, too, for mamma al
ways says if a big boy whips a little one, it
is a sure sign that the big fellow is a cow
ard, so she must be a coward when she
whips me, ’cause she’s the biggest.
I don't like little girls one bit—or I
wouldn’t if I could help it, but somehow I
can’t. Anyhow, everybody treats them
better than hoys. Anything will do for
the boys, big foiks say, so they have to
wear the coarse shoes and common
clothes, and be scolded when their buttons
come off or their pantaloons need patch
ing. Then they are always sent out of the
parlor wheh company comes, “because
they are not tit to be seen.”
Once in a long while they are allowed to
stay in, and then if they trv to be sociable

But the little girls are always called into
the parlor when company comes, and
called “my dear” and “darling” and lots
of nice names, and they play the piano
and "show off," and bang their hair and
wear ruffles, and that's all girls are tit for.
Boys are a great deal smarter than boys.

PEPPER AND A HORSEWHIP.
How a Neglected Wife Punished Her ltiisl.
Louisville. Ky., August M. — New-
Albany is enjoying quite a sensation to-
because Mrs. Americas Duggins pub-
S cowinded Mrs. James Clattney at
and Market streets. It appears that
the husband of the former lady is father
a handsome man audio well thought ot
bv the opposite sex. Among his admirers
is the wife of James Claffney. They fre
quently met, and each represented to the
other that they were unmarried. Last
Sunday the couple took a ride on the street
cars out Vincennes street to the fair
grounds and spent an hour or more under
the inviting shade of the trees. Several
of the acquaintances of Mrs. Duggins
chanced to pass by, and noticed thenu-
merous attentions paid to Mis. Clafiftiejr
New York, August 24.—From General
O. O. Howard’s article on “Stonewall
Jackson's Flank Attack at Chancellors-
ville,” in the Century for September, the
following interesting extract is taken :
“Somebody’s guns'thundered away for a
few short minutes, and then came the fit
ful rattle of musketry; and before I could
again get into the saddle there arose
the ceaseless roar of the terrible storm. 1
sent out my chief of staff, Col. Armussen,
who was the first officer to mount. ‘The
firing is in front ot Devens; go and see if
all is in order on the extreme right.’ He
instantly turned and galloped away.
I mounted and set _ oft’ for
a prominent place in rear
of Bchurz’ line, who was to change front to
the northwest of every bridgade southeast,
of the point of attack ifthe attack extended
beyond Deven’s right flank, for it was
divined at once that the enemy was now
west of him. I could see numbers of our
men—not the few stragglers that always
fly like the chaff at the first breeze, but
scores of them—rushing into the opening,
some with arms and some without, run
ning or falling before they got behind the
covers of Deven’s reserves, and before
Gen. Schurz’ waiting masses could deploy
or charge. The noise and the smoke tilled
the air with excitement and to add to it
Dieekmann’s gunsl and caissons,
with batterymeu scattered, rolled and
tumbled like runaway wagons and carts in
a thronged city. The guns and the masses
of the right brigade struck the second line
of Deven’s before McLean’s front had given
way and, quicker than it could lie told,
with all the fury of the wildest hail storm,
everything, every sort of organization that
lav in the path of the mad current of panic-
stricken men had to give way and be
broken into fragments. My own horse
seemed to catch the fury. He sprang, he
rose high on his hind legs and fell over,
throwing me to the ground. My aide-
de-camp, Dessauer. was struck by
a shot and killed, and for a few
moments I was as helpless as any
of the men who were speeding
without arms to the real'. But faithlul
orderlies helped me to remount. I rode
quicklv to the reserve batteries. A staff
officer of Gen. Hooker, Lieut. Col. Dickin
son, joined me there. My owu stall'gath
ered around me, I was eager to fill the
trenches which Barlow would have held.
Buschbeclt’s second line was ordered to
change front there. His men kept their
ranks, but at first they appeared slow.
‘Will thev never get there ?’ Dickinson
said: ‘Oh, general, see those men coming
from that hill, way off to the right, and
there’s the enemy after them. Fire, oh,
fire at them; you may stop the flight.’
‘No, colonel,’ 1 said, ‘I will never fire on
my owu men.’ ”

My mamma is always talking about
woman’s rights—says they are going to

I just tell you there is never anything
done wrong about our house, but what
papa or mamma or nurse or somebody
says: “Oh! the boys did it, of course.”
I’ve heard that in some places everything
bad is blamed on the cat, but in our house
everything is blamed on the boys.

cake before tea, or upsets the tea-pot, or
breaks a cup, or eats the jelly, cook walks

The explorations of recent years have
considerably changed our notions of the
comparative rank of the great rivers of the
wond. If we class rivers according to their
length, both the Nile and the Yangtse-
iviang must be named before the Amazon.
The Nile’s 4000 miles of waterway, from its
headwaters south of Lake Victoria to the
Mediterranean, make it the largest river
in the world, nearly us long us the j 6,1, good ordinary Orleans 1 11-ldrt
Mississippi and Missouri togotuer, and | oilcans 4 7-itkl.
about 1000 miles longer than the A mazon.
The Amazon is the greatest river in the
world, because it has immense tributaries,
some of them larger than the Danube or
the Rhine; by means of which the Amazon
basin covers an urea about 1,000,000 square
miles greater tbau that of any other river.
The Congo river is the fourth longest
river in the world, but in the volume of
water that it purs into the ocean it is
second only to tile Amazon. <■'
A very curious thing has been discovered
about the three greatest river basins in
South America—the Orinoco, the Amazon
and the Platte basins. Il has been found
that they are so connected by water courses
that the traveller can pass in steamboats ft 8 ™
or canoes from one river system into an
other. He can ascend the Orinieo river
for hundreds of miles until he comes to
the Cassiquiari, on which he can travel for
about two hundred miles to the Rio Ne
gro, one of the largest tributaries of the
Amazon. Flouting down to the Amazon,
and then descending that river for some
distance, he can ascend the
great Maderia tributary. In its
upper course be can turn into the Mamore,
then into the Guapore, then into the little
Alegre river. Here, as is often done, he
can haul his canoe over a low, grassy flat
about two miles wide and launch it into
tlie Rio Agoapehy, and then descend by
the Jauru and Paraguay to Buenos Ayres
and the Platte river. The Alegre and. -

lately, and he lays it to poisoning by
ailanthus trees that abound in his neigli
borhood. His errand was to impress upon
the health officers the necessity of
doing something to get rid ol'
the plague. Capt. Curtis believes
the trees are injurious enough to
warrant the health oiiieers in inaugurating
a regular campaign against them. “Jo

New York, August 21.—There is ustou-
ishmeut in fashionaiile society because tlie
family of Secretary of State Bayard has re
ceived Ellen Terry, tlie actress, as an hon
ored guest. She lues lmd a long and varied
career of formal and informal wedlock.
On her professional visit to this country
last year with Henry Irving the hospitality
extended to him stopped snort of her, and
Fifth avenue was not open to her at al),
while lie was welcomed. The present visit
by Irving is avowedly for pleasure only.
Theatrical men discern in it a purpose of
keeping himself in the remembrance of tlie
American people during the forthcoming
tour of his London rival, Wilson Barrett.
But he is to do no acting. Nevertheless,
Ellen Terry came with him, as before ; but
this time she was invited to become a guest
of the modish Mrs. Lockwood, a sister of
Secretary Bayard, at Narragansett Pier,
where she is now, with several members
of the secretary’s family for companions.
Ellen Is a conspicuous figure at the Rhode
Island watering place.
