GOING INTO RATTLE.
Said Cnpt. George W. Stone yester
day:"] don’t believe any man ever
went into a battle without feeling
frightened. 1 know I never did. I’ll
tell you when n man feels real badly.
It’s when he is foitiling Lis men into
line for a big battle while a little skir
mishing fire ;s kept up till the time.
Eveiy minute or so some one, maybe
your best friend, standing right next
to you will shriek out: ‘Oil, my (Jodi’
and fall back dead, yet you cannot
let your men lire, for the army must
be drawn up first. There is plenty of
time to Blink. You don’t dare to re
taliate in any way. The next built t
may find your henit, and your chil
dren will be left fatherless. It is n
moment that, tries the bravest, man,
because he has to stand quiet and take
it all. But, when the order comes to
fight and the excitement of the battle
arises, fear passes away. You have
something to do. You have a duty
to perform at any cost. Bullets drive
into the ground at your feet, sending
up little clouds of dust. They whistle
past your ears and maybe cut holes
in your clothing. Shells and shrapnel
kill your comrades and leave you liv
ing, and soon there comes a feeling
that some good fortune has preserved
you and will protect you, and the de
sire to do tts much damage to the ene
my alot e fills your mind. That was
my experience in the army, and I don’t
believe that the man lived who did
not feel al the commencement of a
’ tight that he would rather be some
where else.”—Ex.

THE WITNESS WAS 1 XCI'SEI).
There rtas an exciting horse-steal
ing case tried up at Bodie last week,
and the opposing counsel bullyragged
the witnesses in a manner calculated
to convulse even a ’Frisco lawyer with
envy. Finally the name of a well to
do old granger was called, and he
stepped upon the stand carrying a
doublebarrel shotgun in his hand.
“What are you going to do with that
I weapon?” asked the Judge. “Wa’ll
I I II tell you, Squire,’’said the < Id man,
| cheerily; “I he.-rrn some talk arouad
1 here this morning that the lyers cal
kilated ter ax me some questions about
a iltle hoss misunderstandiu’ I had
myself when I was a young man back
I in ther States, and aboi’f. my havin’ an
j extry w fe down in Texas sotnewhar.
I Now, I’m willin’ to tell all I know
■ about this here perticular case, but 1
’ ain t going ter take any begosh non
scuse iroin anybody. I'm a law abid
. ing man, J edge, but, 1 rile powerful
i easy. Now, then, go ahead with ther
I procession,” and, placing the cocked
I gun across his lap, the witness turned |
to the attorneys with a bland smile.
There was a solemn pause for a few
minutes, and then the witness was ex
cused, and he stepped down amid ter
rine applause.—Fx.
NARROWLY ESCAPED LYING.
“I declare!” observed a Wall street
man the other evening as he pulled out
of his pocket a letter, crumpled and
creased beyond all semblance of smooth
ness, ‘‘here is a letter my wife asked me
to mail a week ago, and I have never
thought of it since that time.”
‘‘What did you do that for?” asked an
acquaintance, as the broker tore Uie let
ter into pieces and threw them on the
floor.
“Iler correspondent would have dis
covered the delay and written to my wife
about it and then she would blame me.”
‘‘She needn't have known you delayed
it. Lay the blame on the office boy."
"No,” replied the broker, with deci
sion. “1 hate to lie. I’m a man of
truth. I will tell all about it. and then
she can write another letter.”
"That is a foolish way of getting into
trouble.”
‘‘Not at all. Let tnc relate an incident.
Several years ago, soon after we were
married, my wife once asked mo to write
to her cousin Jim and ask him to come
and spend a few weeks with us. Jim
was my wife's favorite cousin, and I liked
him as well as she did; but the truth of
the matter was I had just started in busi
ness, and and couldn’t afford to entertain
any company. It was al, I could do to
make both ends meet and keep up ap
pearances. Os course I ought to have
confessed this to my wife, but I dreaded
to do it. That was where I made my co
lossal blunder. So when she suggested
the visit to me, I professed to be delight
ed with the plan.
“ ‘You write to him,' she said.
“ ‘I will,' I replied.
“ ‘To-morrow?’ sai 1 she.
“ ‘Morning,’ I said.
"And so it was settled. But, blcsa
your soul, I had no intention of writing
that or nny other morning. When I
came home to dinner my wife asked me
if I had written to Jim.
“ ‘I intended to,’ I said; ‘but 1 have
been tco busy. I have hardly had time
to breathe all day.'
"The next morning she said:
11 ‘Of course, you will write to cousin
James to day.’
“ 'I certainly shall, my dear,’ I replied.
"When I came home that evening she
asked we if I had-written. I told h r
that I was j ist on the point of doing so
when a man fell dead while ho was read
ing the tape iu our uffice. Tl.c next dav
this same man's funeral prevented uiy
writing. The duy after I said that as 1
was sitting at uiy desk, pen in hand, a
section of the roof fell in, and I escaped
with extreme difficulty. The following
day I invented a story about my partner’s
mother. I killed that estimable woman
in a railroad accident. Os couiso that
prevented uiy giving any attention to
private business. The next day to this
I had sent my office boy for postage
stamps, but the careless boy allowed him
self to be run over by an express wagon
and killed-
"This sort of 'hing went on fer a fort
night, until it began to wear on my con
stitution. Life gradually became a bur
den to mo, and I was fast growing a nui
sauce to my friends. I used to lie awake
at night ami wonder wlrit in Tophet I
would tel! my wife the next night, and
during business hours I was often so ab
sent-minded that ir attracted general re
mark. One day when one of our best
customers asked mo what I had been do
ing all day, I gravely told him that I had
been attending his wife's funeral. As the
man was unmarried he accepted my reply
with something akin to doubt, and, al
though 1 tried to explain matters, 1 only
made it the worse, and ho left the
office under the impression that 1 was on
the verge of insanity, if it hai not al
ready reached that pi int, ami he after
ward said as u uch to tny partner.
"At the beginning of the third week
my partner came to me one day and asked
me whether I didn't think I had better
take a little vacation. 1 told him ;T did
not see Low that would mend matters
any.' The poor fellow didn’t say any
thing, but lie shook his bead significant
ly, and I felt that I was rapidly becoming
an object to behold.
"Finally, after killing two office boys,
burying all of my partner’s relation s.
and witnessing no cn l of distressing ac
cidents, all of which kept me from writ
ing to cousin Jim, I mode up my mind
that death was to bo preferred to any
more of this way of living. One evening
as 1 cams home I found my wile in tears.
'* ‘Oh, John,’she sobbed, as she threw
herself into my arms.
“ ‘What’s the matter?’ I exclaimed in
alarm.
"1 didn’t know but what her father
might have tailed in business or some
thing awful had happened.
“‘You heard from cousin Jim,’ she
cried.
"1 made no reply. 1 was dumb with
horror. She had evidently invited him
herself.
“‘And,’ she continued, ‘it won’t do
any good to write to him.’
" Then he is coming anyway?
“ ‘No,’ she sobbed; ‘he’s deal.'
"I said 1 was sorry, but 1 know my
faeo must have sliowu the lunholy joy 1
felt, for my wife immediately left the
room, remarking that 1 was ‘a wretch
who didn't deserve to have bad even a
mother.' It was a great relief to me,
though. Ifhehadnot died I think I I
should have done something desperate."
"Killed yourself?” suggested the list
ener.
"No,” responded the broker. "Hard- ’
ly that. But if I Lad continued making
excuses much longer 1 think 1 should
certainly have been obliged to teli a lie."

PEOPLE WHO THINK ALOUD.
“It is interesting to hear the remarks
sometimes made by people who talk to
themselves while they are walking along
the streets,” said a Pinkerton detective
in the Continental Hotel. "They are sim
ply thinking aloud. The habit seems alto
gether foolish, but I can tell you the ten
or of some of the expressions is just the
reverse. I always make it a point to listen
to these one-sided conversations. Now
you may consider that impolite, and even
mean, but in my business I don’t think it
is so, for detectives sometimas gain valu
able information by overhearing persons
talk to themselves. I remember how I
cleared up a case in that way, years ago,
when I was a private detective in this city.
Several thousand dollars had been stolen
from a prominent merchant- He suspect
ed bis son, a rather fast young man, and
employed me to find out whether his sus
picions were correct. I shadowed the
young fellow for weeks, but cculdn’tdis
cover any good reason for connecting him
with the robbery. Finally, late one night,
when I was thinking about giving up the
case, I noticed him going up Chestnut
Street, and heard him talking to himself.
I got up close behind him and listened,
and in a minute I knew he was the thief.
The affair worried him, and for relief he
talked about it to himself, and thus gave
the whole thing away.
“A most important instance occurred
to me in New York a year ago. A little
girl was (bund murdered one morning, in
one of the worst parts of the city. The
child had been smothered, and for several
weeks I tried to discover the murderer.
But 1 found the | erson at last in a moat
unexpected manner. It was winter, and
one hitler cold day, as 1 walked through
Central Park, I saw a woman ahead of
me acting very strangely. She was poor
ly dressed, and at first 1 thought she was
intoxicated. She wns throwing her arms
around wildly, and talking to herself
You should have heard that woman.
She was raving about a child that was
murdered, and calling on God to forgive
her lor having killed it. Then she moan
ed out something about the child having
been cold and freezing and starving, and
sho couldn’t see it suffer any longer. I
soon found out that she was the* very per- i
son I was looking for- Well, I arrested
her, but the poor thing died before her
trial camo off. I was glad she did.
"But the funniest things are said by (
drunken people. I often see c< mical
... . (
instances of intoxicate 1 men staggering (
home, swearing nt themselves forgetting
drunk, and solemnly promising not to do
so any more. Then again they often have I
aacrious conversation with themselves as '
to how their wives will receive them when 1
they reach home. l’hiladclphia Times. I

I have observed all through life, that
many neat ari l economical housekeepers,
who clean, an 1 dint, and scour, end scrub
the i- terior of the dwelling, from attic to |
basement, will have a filthy, unhenltliful I
and disen-e-breedirg slop hole near the
back-door of the kitchen. They seem to I
think that there is no other way, as there
must be sonic place to east out the slops t
and di-h-water. After the habit is once I
established, of stepping to the back door |
to heave out every pound of slop and ■
waste waler, it is extremely difficult to i
adopt any other practice.
Oar own practice has always been to
keep the surroundings at tlio back-dooi
just as neat and clean as the environments I
of the front door- When we commenced .
keeping house, more than forty years !
ago. in a small out-building ol a farm
stead, a largo pail was placed beneath
the waste-spout of the sink in the kitch
en, to receive every drop of waste water.
As often as once a day (or whenever rhe
I ail was nearly full) the slop was carried, ■
either to the garden and emptied around
trees and vines, or where it would be dug
into the soil.
The little labor incident tn such a daily
task did not amount to any work worthy |
of mentioning. But our yard at the back- I
door was kept ns neat and clean as a I
grassy lawn. More than this, soap suds, I
dish-water, and ehninber-slops constitute
excellent fertilizing material fir the soil.
During hot weather we carry a pailful of
slopwater to the garden, anti with a hoe ■
make a broad channel around a hill of ■
corn, or any other plant, into which the |
slop-water is poured, and covered with !
soil.
Fresh earth is an excellent disinfectant.
The hungry soil will absorb every atom of ;
mate rial that will moke plant food; and
the roots of growing plants will soon find ;
whatever may ba deposited within their |
reach. —Ex.

I with a lovable disposition, with many
ascertainable and measurable things, and
yet we find them continually falling in
j love with women who are not beautiful,
nor wise, nor gentle, nor possessing any
ascertainable thieg. You’ll find a hun
dred reasons for falling in love, and rare
, ly the right reason —which is common
, simply because a man can not help it.
He is in love because a mysterious force
in nature h s touched him. The woman
may be unbeautiful, heartless, selfish,
cruel, untrue, coarse, f.ivolous. empty,
but if the magic of nature —something ol
ihe magic, I suspect, that Puck used on
the eyes of Titania—touches him, he sees
not one of these in their true aspect. The
Titanians that have fallen in love wi'h
men crowned with donkey heads, and the
men that have fallen in love with ser
pents, thinking them doves, are many
arid all because of a diabolism or a mys
tic fury in nature that delights in bring
ing incongruous elements together for
the sake of a dance of delirium.
A Remarkable Case.
Mrs, Henry Ellis, 500 Scott street,
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, writes: “Dr. S.
] B. Hartman & Co.,Columbus,O.: lam
. induced by a sense of duty to the suffering
; to make a brief statement of your remark-
■ able cure of myself. I was a most miser-
I able sufferer from the various annoying
and distressing diseases of delicate persons,
I which earned me to be confined to my
' bed for a long time, being too weak to
1 even bear my weight upon my feet. I
j was treated by the most reputable physi-
I cians in our city, each and all saving they
could do nothing for me. I had given up
I nil hopes of ever being well. Inthiscon
dition I began to take your Manalin
I an 1 Phruna, and J am most happy to
! say in three months I was perfectly well
; —entirely cured, without any appliances
I or support of any kind.”
Mr. G. A. Prochl, New Portage, Sum
-1 mit County, Ohio, writes: "My wife
i lias been sick for about five years. In the
fir-t place the doctor called it leucorrhcea.
I and treated it about one year, and she
I grew worse, and turned to ulceration of
the womb, and was treated for that two
I years, but she grew worse and the doctor
gave her up. Then I employed Dr. Un
der wood, one of Hie best doctors of Akron,
b it under Lis treatment she grew worse.
' She wai paralyzed; she had lost all of tl.e
I sense of feeling and her eyesight. She
could not walk lor nearly two years.
About six months ago Underwood gave
I her up. She tried your Pkruna. She
i has taken three bottles, and it did more
| good th in any other medicine. The pa
| ralysis lias about left her; her eyesight is
1 g tling better. We will continue the use
I of I’eruna until she is well.”
Mr. Isaac Nicodemus, Schellsburg, Bed
' ford Countv, Pa , writes: *1 am induced,
: bv a sense of duty to the suffering, to make
I a brief statement of your remarkable help,
. as a sufferer of catarrh in ray head and
I throat. I doctored with one of the best
( ' physicians in our place for that dreaded
1 . disease, catarrh, and found no relief. But
I in 1883 I lost my speech, and tvas not able
, to do any kind of work for near three
months. I could neither cat nor steep.
1 . Peruna and Manalin did wonders for
me. I used three bottles of Perun a and
1 one of Manalin, and now lam in bet
-1 ter health than I have been for ten years,
and I can heartily recommend your med-
1 icine to all suffering from that dread dis-
! case, catarrh."

I its curative properties.”
