The irou frame, which had withstood tho fatiguoH of ho many trying battle fields, and Btill more trying marchestlirough the wilder- nesH, broke down at last under the slow torture of lout friendships and merited disgrace. Iu the last sad days iu London, iu Jnuo, 1890, tho family tradition says that Arnold’s mind kept reverting to his old friendship with Washing ton. Ho had always carefully pre served tho American uniform which lie wore on tho day whan lie made his escape to the Vulture; uud now as, broken iu spirit and weary of,life he felt tho last moments coming, he called for this uniform aud put it,on, and decorated himself with the epau lettes uud swordknot which Wash ington had given him after tho vic tory of Saratoga. “Let mo die,’ 1 said ho, "iu this old uniform iu which I fought my battles. May God for give mo for over putting on any other." They Make Poor Wives. I never see a petted, pampered girl who is yielded to iu every whim by servants aud parents that I do not sigh with pity for the man who will someday be her husband, writes Ella Wbolder Wilcox, It is the worshiped daughter who bus beeu taught that hor whims aro supreme iu a household, who makes marriage a failure all her life.Slio bus had hoi way in things great and small, aud when 8ito desired drosses, pleasures or journeys which were beyond the family purse she carried the day with L urs or sulks or posing as a martyr. The parents sacrificed for her sake, hoping fiuully to see her well married. They carefully hide hor faults from the suitors who seek hor hand, aud she is 6Vor ready with smiles and allurements to win the hearts of men, and the average man is as blind to the faults of a pretty girljas a new hatched bird is blind to tho worms upon the trees about him. Ho thinks her little pettish ways are merely girlish moods:,but when she bpoomos his wife, and reveals her selfish and cruel nature, lie is grieved aud hurt to think fate has been so unkind to him Wallace Died Fighting. Leavenworth, Kan,, Jan. 7.-.A letter from Pine Ridge agency do tails some hitherto unknown facts concerning the death of Captaiu Wallace at Wounded Knee. After the light, the letter states, Captain Wallace whs found at the entrance of au Indian lodge, with five dead warriors lyiug near him, each Indian corpse showiug a bullet wound. Five of the chambers in the Cap tain’s revolver wore found empty, and from the position iu which the body lay it is oresumod that Wal lace killed the five Iudiaus before lie was overcome.

An Egotistic Aj;o Tills., We live in an ago of self importance, sustained and promoted by methods un known to tno simple minda of our an* costers. Tho interviewer and tho re- curder of social gossip hive artfully created a daily want which tboy them selves supply.

The harm in dwelling upon those tilings is not at first apparent, since we bnm to know them. Xlus wenkiiivts of mind induces the belief that onr friends are eager fur similar details about our selves, and as a natural consequence when it is onr cuo to talk tho personal noimnativo does not lack advancement. Egotism, spoken and written, is the fash ion as well as tlio failing of our waning day.—Scribner’s. Child Definitions, 1 asked a little girl how she would de- fiue love. Unhesitatingly ijlie answered, "It’s going errands." I united a little boy tlie meaning of tho word guilt. “Il means telling on another’boy.” I asked Harry Sullivan to define a gentleman. Be replied, not without some fervor, “Oh, a fellow who has tt watch and chain, I suppose ho read disappoint ment in my face, for lie lmstily added, “and loves Je«U8."

'Twos steady mount FdrTrtaiiltoVoktr A Delectable Anecdote of Napoleon, tlio Clear, anil tho Prussian King. Tlio editor of Gil Bias vouches for tlie truth of this story: Napoleon I was en tertaining tho 'Czar Alexander and tlio Prussian king nt breakfast in Tilsit, when tlio conversation turned on loyalty. "My soldiers obey mo blindly," said the czar. "And mino nro anxious to die fur me,” added Napoleon, At the suggestion of the Prussian king a D-st of devotion waa agreed upon. The royal party were breakfasting hi the fifth story of a building that faced a paved street. Each member was to call in one of his soldiers and command him to jump from the window. Napoleon mado tho first test. “Call the Gardiste Marcua,” lie com manded, and Marcau appeared. “Will you obey any order I give yon?’ asked Napoleon, “Yes, siro.” “Blindly, whatever it is?" “Blindly, siro.” “Then jump out of that wiftdow.” “But I have a wife and two children, sire." “I will care for them. Forward!" And tho Gardiste Marcau, with a mili tary salute, walked to the window’ and leaped out. “Call a private of the body guard," ordered the czar, whose turn came next. Tho soldier came. "What’s your name?” “Ivan Ivauovitcli.” “Well, Ivan, just throw yourself ont of that window." “Yes, father," answered tlie guards man, and lie did it. "Command tho bravest of my soldiers to come here," said tlio Prussian king to liia servant. A six foot ulilan, with a row of orders across his breast aud a scar on his forehead, entered. “My friend,” explained tlie king, "to show their loyalty a French anil a Rus- i p ian guardsman have jumped at com mand from that window Have you the pluck to do lijf* same?” “Is it for tho fatherland?” ; “No." I “Then I refuse to do it.” Gil Eli13 thinks this anecdote contains a fine lesson for German army officers ef the present.

The Ulrcil Man Mot It, hut ll„ Fnlled to Comprehend n Word of It. “1 remember,” said tlie recontenr of the party, '‘a*dispensaUou of what might bo called Spartan justice. It happened when I wae a boy ami made a lasting impression, ne-inridents of tho kind do on a youthful mind. Our folks at home had some old wil ier spoons that had lieen in constant service for generations, and were small and thin, and carried in their shallow bowls the murks of every tooth in tho family. Ivich spoon kiul u history ami an association, as spoons did liavo in those days, and they were looked after with the greatest care. My mother placed them under her pillow every night, and tho whole family would lie regularly awakened by a inittliight clai ter of rattling spoons, as they had a rest less habit of falling out of lied, so their value was enhanced by the many sleep less nights they cost. Well, one of those precious spoons was missing, and there was a great to do oyer it. Tlie servants were all ques tioned, but no one had wsui tho miming spoon. J luit night a colored girl, who had been taken in sumo months liefore by my mother, and who was a brightand rather precocious character, told of see ing a new liirisl man on the promises hiding something in his jacket. She even essayed to find the jacket, and, sure enough, hetwueu tho lining aud tho ent ente was found the lost spoon. My mother was so happy in recover ing her property that she wanted tho man to go scot free. Not so my father, who was a solemn church goer." 'I will give him a lecture on tlie sin of stealing,’ he paid, ‘and koep him, as ho is a useful man. I am very sure ho will never steal from ns again.’ “I accompanied my father to tlio kitchen, whore tho man was raking nshes over tlie coals of a hot fire and pre paring to go to bod. He sat submissively still as my father appeared, carrying a large Bible, and ho listened to the lect ure that was delivered with an unmoved countenance. I slept and awakened sev eral times liefore it wae finished. My father's solemn, monotonous voico af fected me like a soporific and I did not try to fathom the language ho used. “Tho culprit v as a German, and I have since learned that lie did not under stand one word my father said to him, rim- even tho nature of tlie accusation against him. I thought then, as I lis tened to my father's bass turn's in that grim monologue, that tlio punishment was adequate to tho sin. 1 had been lectured tnyself, and would liavo con- foss»sl to almost anything to liave es caped tho consequences. “Tlie lecture was supplemented by .i Rfnyer, in which my tutor implore illvlue forgiveness for tho offender Tlio German took it all in good part and re mained ia liis situation, but was no doubt carefully watched. Some years after the colored girl acknowledged that she had put the spoon in his jacket in order to get rid of him and gratify her love of mischief. As lie never alluded to it in any way wo could not tell what he thought of tlie services of that night, or how lnHcli of the long moral lecture had been comprehended. But I am certain ho never understood the criminal nutans of tlie occasion,”—Detroit Free Frees. A Itcal Creole Cook. Aside from a few private houses, there is only oue placo in New York where a real creole gumbo file, or a real creole doube, can lie had, and that is a little restaurant upon tlie third floor of a large brick house on University place. Tho restaurateur is au old creole him self, who is satisfied with on average of twenty customers a day. lie both cooks and serves the food himself, having but one assistant, who washes the pots und kettles and dishes and keeps things clean generally. But old Moietz Mari tun i is u famous cook, and could command a large salary should lie listcm to some of his friends. He speaks no English, and in fact no French or Spanish, but simply tlie real old New Orleans creole dialect, which is a mixtnro of both French and Spanish, The gumbo file lie serves is a marvel. It is a great favorite witli Dr. Chauncoy M. Depew Riid Mr. H. Walter Webb, tho third vice president of the New York Central railroad. It is a sort of soup, made of chicken meat, crabs, shrimps or crawfish, bacon, eggs, okra, sassafras, anti flavored with lino old sherry wine. Just before it is served a quantity of grated boiled potatoes and flour and plenty of seasoning is added. It is a whole meal iu itself.— New York Jour nal. IlrJdcgrooin 'Was Confused.

A dozen railroad engineers and con ductors met by rlmuec the other day ami an old gray haired veteran of the call told a story. lie had been un engi neer witli a big reputation as a “run- ner in tho days gonoby, bnt on account of failing nerves and eyesight was now enjoying an easy berth around tlio shops. IIo said: “It was when tho old Y. M. aud B. was first opened up," lie began. “I was pullin’ passenger, and took the first coach over the road. I got n good run—all day work—and was holdiu’ her down as a good tiling. ’Bout a year after we’d got to doin’ a good business I had some ex tra nninin and lost my turn for awhile, and run nights nil of tho time. It was my last trip before I'd get hack to my own run, and I was foolin' glad Ur get on to tho day ‘trick’ again. "Wed had sonio mighty bod weather and lots of water fell. Onr truck was in pretty good skApe, though, ami we didn't lurch fear washouts, so wo kept up with tlie ‘card’ pretty well. On the night 1 spoke about 1 was on No. 2. We had a heavy train, but tho machine I had was able to ‘get there,’ anil I was on time till wo struck a freight that ■onldn’t take tlio siding. They ‘swung us down,’ and we side tracked until the freight got away. I was pretty warm iver losing tlie time, nnd when we lit out of there 1 pulled her right tip to the notch and sho went for all sho was worth. Wo were making about forty-five miles an hour, and when wo reached the (ill east of Wildcat I worked 6toam all tho way down. Wo wore ’bout half way to tho creek when the bell rang. I worked mighty quick, but it was down bill and the rails were wot and 1 didn't get stopped until tlie pilot was almost 'Ver tlio bridge—or where tho bridgo light to be—’cause when I stopped the headlight was shining over a cluiam. t he bridge was washed away. GadI You can tell just Tamt how I felt. My fireman nearly fainted, and I wasn't far iK'hind him. Well, after we stopped tho conductor, a smart chap with a fancy lamp and a rubber collar, came arunnin' ap wantin’ to know why I stopped. “ ‘ 'Cuuse the bell rang. What did you pull the ro;H> for?’ I says. I didn't,’ says lie. Well, who did?" No one,' says lie, hot like. Well, some ouo pulled it or I wouldn't a stopped,' says I. “The ‘con’ looked at me a minute, and jast then tho brakemnn enmoup. “ ‘Did you pull tho rope, Joe? said the con.' “ ’No,’ says Joe. “.Tout of u Mulilnt, tlionfrht oft-nAlr ine, nnd I told tho ‘hrakey’ to ask the porter. Tlio ‘coon’ hadn't pulled the bell, aud tba passengers in his ear wore all asleep until 1 jerked them endways with the ‘air.’ 1 took tlio conductor around to tlio front end and showed him tlio bridge, lie was seared to death, and we went back together through the train to see who pulled the bell rope, but every mother’s son of them swore it wasn't touched, i began to get scared again and told them about tlie bridge, and everybody came out to look ut it. “Wo couldn’t find anyone who gave the signal, nnd after we’d Haggl'd back to tlio statiun I got to thinkin' more and more, nml I came to tho opinion that the bell was rung by Providence. There wns 160 people on tho train, nnd if that bell hadn’t rung I'd a took them nil over into tho Wildcat, and dropped thorn about ono hundred feet into tho water.
