HE FORGOT THE ORDER. An Allegheny Mountain Recluse Tells His.Briaf Story. from the Pittsburg Dssuateh. Up on the slope of tl:e Allegheny Moun tain.-. foil' or five miles from Uninntown and only a few stops off the line of the old Cumberland juke, is a little plain board cabin set so tar buck among the rocks and trees that it cannot lie seen more than a huudred yards away. A reporter rambling ox er the mountains last week stumbled all unexpectedly upon the secluded dwelling. Tin occupant was sitting in a home-made hammock just outside the door, adjusting a fish -line to a pretty jointed rod. A dailv pa per lay on the ground at his feet. He was a young man, not more than thirty years of age, but his huir and moustache wero as white as silver and there xvas an ex pression of sadness on his face which seemed to be habitual. His clothing xvas old ami xvorn, but it xvas well kept and neat for all that, and it xvas worn with a grace that is not born in the mountain districts. He welcomed his visitor as heartily as though lie had known him for years, and his invitation to take a seat and rest almost amounted to a command. During the course of the two hours’ conversation which fol lowed he told the sad story of his life and the combination of circumstances which led him to leavo the habitations of men and go axvav into the mountain by himself T used to live in Pittsburg,” he said, “and you are the first man from thoro that I have met for five years. It doesn’t make any difference what iny name is. I have rela tives living and it is better they should not know xvhere I am. You want to know ylmt made my hair so gray and why 1 am living here? Well, 1 don't mind telling you, al though I’ve been trying for ten years or more to forget it all. "1 xvas raised and educated in Pittsburg. 1 learned telegraphy in the Western Union office and when not yet 20 years of age was put in charge of an office on a railroad out in Ohio. It doesn’t make any difference xvliat office it was or what road it was on, it was an office and a rather important one at that. I hadn’t been in my position more than six weeks when I fell desperately in love with a girl who lived only a block from my office. The attachment was mutual and xvhen six weeks had lengthened into six months we were engaged. One night—it xvas in February, 1877—1 had been to see my sweetheart artd about midnight was sitting in my office thinking of the coming wed ding, and feeling as happy as any young man with bright prospects ahead of him could feel, when word came over the wires that a sjieeial freight was coming over the main track westward. It was still NO miles axx-ay and, after recording tho fact that it was coming, my thoughts recurred to the little girl down the street. “Ten minutes later the conductor of the east-bound express came in for orders. ‘All right, Bill,’ I said, as I glanced up and saw him, and a minute later ho xvas on his train speeding away at a 25-mile-an-hour gait. The rear lights were scarcely out of. sight when I happened to look at my desk. There was nothing there but my instrument and a bit of paper, but that bit of paper xvas enough. There, in plain letters, were the words I had written not more than a quar ter of an hour before: ‘Extra freight; tell Bill to side-track.’ The express hau to side track, yoa know, because the switches xvere not long enough for freights. My hair fairly stood on end. There wfis that freight train coming on with full steam, with the express going to meet it at the rate of 25 miles an hour. I fell back in my chair and the cold perspiration broke out all over me. Then I grasiiedthe key to my instrument and called m succession all the offices intervening be tween the two trains. They were all day offices and the operators had gone home hours before. The clicking of the instru ment sounded to my excited imagination as loud as the discharge of cannons. For live minutes I called, in the desperate hope that someone would hear me in time to stop the express. But it was no use; every office was closed. “I dropped the key and ran down stairs and out on the track. I think I had a wild hope that I could overtake the express, but as I got into the air I realized the folly of the most utter despair I returned to the office and dropped into a chair. But I couldn’t sit still. The instrument on the desk seemed to mock me and the air in the office seemed stifling. I walked out on the track again, and walked back and forth on the croasties waiting for the result. I knew it must come and I instinctively stayed within hear ing distance of the instrument. It seemed an age but in reality it wasn’t more than half an hour till the sounder clicked and I ran upstairs, hoping against hojie that some lucky circumstance had averted a disaster. 1 was so nervous that I could scarcely hold the key to answer Then I laid back and waited as the instrument oilckaC what socined to me to ho my death sentence; ‘Express and freight collided. Nineteen killed; many injured.’ “Two weeks later I regained my senses. I had been hovering around between life and death during the interval, and I was roll so weak that I could scarcely move a linger. But I recovered rapidly and then they told me the awful details. Both en gineers and the conductor of the passenger train, as well as IS passengers, had been killed. The list of injured ran up to nearly 50. The trains had met on a curve and the passenger had been thrown over an em bankment 30 feet high. The Coroner’s jury hail heard all the details and exonerated me, although, I tell you now, I would rather at that time they nail hung nte. All through my sickness my sweetheart watched over me and nursed me, and when I recovered she was kindness and consideration it self. But I was in no mood for love-mak ing. “As soon as I was able to leave the hos pital I went to Pittsburg, and from there I name out here, intending to stay a month or sc. till my nerves would get strong. I stayed all summer, and then it was so quiet and secluded here that I built me this cabin and lye Ijeen here ever since. How do 1 live! "'ll, I had a little money in the bank and " doesn’t cost much to live up here. When the money's all gone I reckon I’ll lie ready to go myself, k go to Uniontovvn or Con nellsville once tii a while, but outside of those places I have not been a wav from hero for ten years.” A COPPER IN THE STRAW. Human Nature Thoroughly Exempli fied On a Street Car. From Tid Hit*. “You dropped a copper in the straw,” said * horse ear conductor to a pompous-looking °kl gentleman, the other day. “A copper.

He t ui"v l and crawled back toward his seat, plowmg up the straw with both hands. "Oh, well,” he said, as he peered as far ns he could under the skirts of a lady who had sat next him. “a copper is but a trifle after all, still I--would you mind moving over a little, madam: It might have fallen here, you know; sorry to trouble vou for such a t: 'lie, but the—” H" made the straw fly for about five min utes; (hen he rose slowly to his feet, stirred around with bis ea:ie, and finally sat down saying: “It is of no consequence, not the least. Let it go. A copper is—ha. there it is!” He bounded half the lentil of the ear and grabbed up a handful of straw in which there was a brass tobacco tag. The joyous light died out of his eyes. He sank back in bis seat dejectedly; but be tried to grin and said: “It is of no consequence, not the least." “Fifty-ninth street,” cried the conductor. “Great Scott!” shouted the copperless man, "I ought to have got off a mile back here. Here, let me off!” The Result of Swallowing* a Fork. From the Lancet. Dr. William Wilson reports the following interesting case: “Cipriani, to whom you referred in a re cent number, while imitating the exploits of a juggler in swallowing a fork, some sixteen years ago, allowed it to pass into his aasophagus beyond his control. After various attempts at extraction made by himself, his friends and his wife, he was on the following day transferred to the Ospe dale de Santa Marie Nuova, where also all efforts at removal were unavailing Sev eral ingenious instruments were invented for the purpose, but failed. He remained in the hospital for five weeks, suffering more or less inconvenience, moral as w.-ll as phy sical, for the public were divided in opinion, some proclaiming him only a fool, others an impostor. A year or so afterward, having produced severe pain, hemorrhage, and other untoward symptoms, it was ascer tained that the fork bad effected its exit from the stomach and passed into tho intes tines, accompanied with a relief to the more urgent phenomena; motion, however, oc casioned severe suffering. He now wander ed from place to place a subject of interest to some, of ridicule to others, till three or four weeks ago he was attacked by acute pleurisy of the right side, terminating in effusion, and was admitted into the Ospe dale di San Giovanni di Dio. Recovering from this, attention was again directed to ‘the fork,’ which was discovered in the right iliac fossa, pointing obliquely upward to the left side. It was evidently fixed in this situation, for palpitation effected no change in his position, and considerable enlarge ment could be detected in the immediate neighborhood. After long hesitation he con sented to an operation, which was performed by the distinguished surgeon, Prof. Rosati, aided by his skillful assistant, Dr. Catani. An incision was made extending from an inch and a half below the umbilicus perpen dicularly down to the pubes, and after con siderable difficulty the fork was extracted from the ascending colon, the blunt end pointing upward. There had been long and constant inflammation, as was proved by the great thickening of the bowel, adjacent tissues, and the firm adhesion of the colon to the abdominal parietes. The bowel was opened, the edges secured to the abdominal i ntegumonts.and the wound dressed in the us ual way. The fork measured twenty-two centimetres, and presented but little erosion; for though the plating had disappeared, the extremities retained the original defined out lines. The time could not be calculated which it had taken in reaching its ultimate destination, but probably many years, judg ing from the condition of the surrounding textures. The patient bore the operation well, and was very anxious to secure pos session of the fork as conclusive evidence against his detractors. There has been no fever or unfavorable symptom, and the w ound is nearly healed, there remaining only a small fistulous opening communicat ing with the intestine.” At the Musicale. From the Detroit Free Press. (Mr. and Mrs. Fraud to each other.) Mrs. F.—How utterly stupid it all is. There’s nobody here I care anything for. Mr. F.—The singing is awful and I won’t stay to boar Spouter read. Mrs. F.—Mercy! is he going to read! I don’t see how Mi's. Redfern does manage to get so many stupid jieople together. Mr. F. —Oh she has the culture and intel lectual craze just bad enough to rave over cranks of all kinds Let’s go. Mrs. F. —Oh, we can’t until Miss Screech gets through singing. How she does squeak! There’s Prof. Wise. He’s to read a paper on protoplasms. Great thing for a musieale. I’d stav for refreshments if it wasn’t for that. But I’m bored to death . now. Mr. F.—So am I. I’ve yawned three time, >-s many different faces now. (Mr. and Mrs. F. to hostess.) Mrs. F. —We are so sorry to have to go so early, dear Mrs. Redfern, but I am not quite well. I did so want to hear Prof. Wise's paper, too. Mr. F. —And I, too. But I really must insist on my wife’s going home early. We’ve enjoyed the evening thus far so much. How charmingly Miss Screech sings! Mrs. F. —Oh, beautifully! How do you manage to get so many delightful people around you, Mrs. Redfern? It is always a treat for us to come to your house. And I have so enjoyed it to-night. If my poor head didn’t hurt so I should so like to hear Mr. Spouter read. Will Miss Screech sing a^ain, yes? O, Mr. Fraud, shall wo stay?* Mr. F.—No, no, my dear: not with your head hurting so. I can’t allow it. I only wish it were otherwise. But now we must go. Good-night, Mrs. Redfern. Such a de lightful time. Mrs. F.—Oh, charming, charming! Good night! So sorry to go. Good-night. Syke3’ Dog. Ben : Perley Poore in the Boston Budget. When Mr. Lincoln heard of the scattering of the Confederates under Hood by Gen. Thomas he was reminded of the following anecdote: “Out in lower Illinois, in a lit tle village, there was a butcher named Sykes, who had a large, wicked, mischiev ous bulldog, which was regarded as a town nuisance. Fowls were killed, clothes were pulled from the lines, meathouses w'“io robbed, children were scared, and ‘Sykes’ dog’ was blamed for all and blamed justly. Now, there was a man named Hen derson, who had a fine turkey killed by this dog of Sykes’ and be swore revenge. So he took about a quarter of a pound of powder anil did it up in a piece of buck skin. tying up a piece of punk so that it pro jected out of the little bundle of powder. Then he put the bundle in a large piece of corn bread, and had it in readiness. It was not long before Sykes’ dog came trotting along, and Henderson, lighting the punk with his cigar, throw the bread to the cur, who gob Wed it at a mouthful. The next minute there was an explosion. The dog’s head was blown over a fence into the crec!:, his hind legs and tail were sent up and lodged on Henderson’s porch, his forelegs were thrown across the street, and the rest of the bow-wow was laid about in small pieces. ‘dVhorra!’ exclaimed a looker-on, ‘you’ve rather used up Sykes’ dog, hain't ye, Hen derson?’ ’Yes,’ replied Henderson, ‘I rath er think that as ndng Sykes won't find linn of much use.’ And so of the Confederate army,” added Mr. Lincoln, with one of his sad smiles, “as an army Hood won’t find it of much use.” Chills and Fever. Malaria. “Many cases of fever and ague, dumb ague and congestive chillis were promptly arrested and entirely banished by the use of Simmons Liver Regulator. You don't say half enough in regard to the efficacy of this valuable medicine in eases of ague, inter mittent fevers, etc. Every care has been arrested immediately. I was a sufferer for vearswith the liver disease, and only found relief by using the Regulator. ItoMM J. Week*. Batavia, kuuo couuty. Hi.” THE MORNING NEWS'. SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, 1887, THIEVING MOUNTAIN RATS. They Are Small, but Steal Everything They Can Lay Their Paws On. From Wide Awake. Studios in natural history, calculated to excite the wonder of a voung student, abound in the Western regions of Ameri ca, I know 1 was vastly entertained, dur ing a trip through Arizona and New Mexi co, by iny own observations of the moun tain rats, popularly known there as “trading rats.” I used to lie awake sometimes in order to watch their pranks by the light of my camp fire. Their antics and gambols re minded me of young kittens at play. They often appeared to be at a game of ‘‘tag.” They look like common rate, save they are lighter in color, their tails shorter and thicker, and their noses loss pointed. They live in hollow trees and in the rocks. But the very funny thing is that, though they are born thieves, little kleptomaniacs every one, they always return something in the place of every article taken away; and a queer thing, too, is the fact that they rare ly' steal articles of food. One night I felt a slight stir about my head. Cautiously open ing my eyes I saw one of these rate tugging manfully at my saddle, which I was using as a pillow. As the saddle was one of the California style, and weighed about 30 pounds, the efforts of the little rascal seemed to lie very ambitious for an animal of his size. They take away r cartridges, knives and forks, or anything else they can carx-y. I have been told by an old prospec tor that ho had a whole outfit of such things “rustled” (that is, stolen) in one night, and that various objects wore re turned in its place. Articles taken from one place have been found in a shanty twenty'miles distant. I met one day at a railway station an old ranchman, who lived at least twenty miles from the road, and chancing to speak of these rate, he said: “I found in my ‘shack’ the other day' quite a collection of spoons, forks and knives, hid under a pile of rubbish, that had been brought there by the little thieves. Where they' came from I don’t know, but I do know that they carried off in turn a whole box of 45-75 Winchester cartridges.” I laughed and replied: “Well, I have your cartridges, and you probably have my spoons, for out of a dozen I have only two left. And, as the car tridges will not fit my Sharps 40-70, they' are no use to me. So, if you’ll bring the spoons to Flinn’s store 111 see that the cartridge s are left tnere, and you can get them.” The exchange was effected in the course of a few days nnd the spoons proved to lie mine and the cartridges his. Spirits Advised Them to Dig for Gold. From, the Baltimore American. It is not generally beliex r ed that there are gold mines in this city, but that xvas exri dently the belief of five misguided persons who went to the residence of William Wat son, 1634 Lancaster street, and began to sink shafts. The house is a three-story building, owned by some war' Is of whom Lieut. Carroll is guardian. William Watson, the occupant, works at tho Baltimore cemetery. While he was absent from his home Tuesday five persons entered his cellar and began a search for gold. Mrs. Watson had been told frequently that large amounts of gold xvere hidden in the cellar of her house. She says that a few duys ago a xvomau, who resides a fexv doors above, came to her house and said that she had seen a vision, and that a spirit had told her to see Mrs. Watson and get per mission to dig up her cellar for $ lb,ooo in gold. She said that the spirit threatened all kinds of visitations if she refused, and as Mrs. Watson had just lost her son by drown ing, she xx as sornexvhat nervous at the threat of the woman’s spirit. At any rate, on Tuesday it is said that the woman, her hus band, and three other persons entered the cellar quietly and began to dig for the gold in the spot indicated in the vision. Before digging in the cellar, however, a consulta tion had been held with several people who had held conversations with’ a great many invisible spirits, all of xvhom advised them to dig for the $17,000. And they dug deep down into the hard floor of AVat son’s cellar. Two of the scorchers held seances in the cellar while the other three dug for the gold. The qftioltf on the heat heard that there was a spiritual seance and a gold mine in the cellary and went to look for the miners. The doors xvere found to be fastened, but the officer still suspected some thing xvas wrong. Going into the cellar he saw five persons .work. “What is all this about?” asked the officer. They made no reply. The officer then discovered a hole large enough to hold several people dug in the cellar. He repeated his question, and a woman replied that they were looking for money. One of them became angry, and said that in half an hour, without interruption, they could have unearthed 1!>,000. “How do you know the money is there? - ’ asked the officer. He replied that the spirits had told him so, and had threatened him with bodily injury if he did not go at once ami search for it. The officer made all five of them quit digging for the money, but made no arrests. Mrs. Wilson says that she has been annoyed by persons who have come to her and told her of vast quantities of wealth stored in her cellm-s, but she never thought an at tempt xvould bo made to dig for it. Wat son says that the next man xvho enters his cellar "without his permission will jeopardize his neck. The little gold-mining scheme cost Lieut. Carroll -jl for replacing the dirt, and the $19,000 remains undiscovered. Watson first learned of the operations of the miners through a hoky-poky boy. Stories of a Virginia Home. J. Tehh in the Independent. The Clay-Hill portrait of Mr. John Ran dolph, said to bo the finest likeness of him, is now in the Corcoran gallery at Washing ton. Long after Mi's. Tabb’s death Mr. Ran dolph still came to Clay-Hill. Ho was there one day at a dinner party given to a young army officer. At table the military guest was giving a glowing account of the Mexi can churches, some of tho finest of which, he said, had been turned into barracks by the United States troops. "Why, Captain! were you not afraid to do it?" asked one of the ladies. "Oh, no; for my part,” tbo Captain re plied, "I have become so used to such things that I could take my dinner on an altar as comfortably as elsewhere.” “And so would a hog, sir,” said Mr. Ran dolph. In the silence that followed this terrible thrust,' they say tho very air of tho room seemed to tingle as tho nerves of the guest did. At that time, and even a much later day, there ws in the neighborhood no regular cler gyman of the Episcopal church. Sometimes only once in three or four years would u parson appear, and then it was that the wedding took place, and that all tho children born in the interval were broughtt to lie baptized. This last, as a matter of courtesy to the pastor, was of strict obligation. Dr. Archer’s youngest son jvas quite old enough to liavo some notion of the import of the rite when his turn for it came, and object ing to the ordinance, he tried to run away. When his father caught him the little fel low yelled: "I Yiwant to be baptize." “Why not, my goaf” inquired tho old doc tor. “ ’Cause I can't cuss no more,” sobbed the little boy, piteously, “You shall curse just as much as you please, my son,” said tho old man, tenderly. “Come along, let 'em baptize you, my child.” Tho privilege of "cussing” secured to him bv this strange dispensation, tho little fel low made no further resistance, but submit ed to the rite. I)r. Archer was a lifelong partisan of his illustrious brother-in-law. Gov. Gives, one of the ablest politicians of tho day. Home time time after the Governor's death, the doctor in a heat of a political discussion, said to his opponent: ‘•(Hi ami ask Giles. If you doubt what I say, sir, go and ask Giles.” "But I can't.” remarked tho other. “Giles, air, is (lead—dead and in hell.” “I don’t care a snap if is he is,” cried tho doctor. “Go there and ask him!” MILLINERY.
