There are two blind beggars in New
York who have stood at their respect

lor twenty five years.- Il is believed
that both have accumulated fortunes.
A banquet cf horse flesh, roast, slew
and aoup, was served in St. Louis. The
old Confederate solliero during the
war in Vicksburg dieted on nrtle meat,
but they are not hankering for it now.
Tbe humming of telegraph wires is
a strange phenomenon which has not
been satisfactorily explained. It is<
not caused by wind, for it is heard
daring perfect calms. It has been
conjectured that changeo of tempera
tore, which tighten or loosen the wire
probably produce tbe sound.
Some of the editors who are saying
cutting things about Allen D. Candler
had better be very careful. You will
have to support him as the democratic
nominee for governor and you bad
better not get yourself in too pitiable
plight in “eating crow.”—Marietta
Journal.
The Nashville American pays the
following tribute to woman: “The
new woman is not much in evidence
in war excitement, but if war comes
tbe woman whom we have known since
Eve’s time will play her old part of in*
spiring tbe brave and nursing the
. wounded.”
Few persons in the couth are aware

Probably few people know that there
ia a choice side to every cemetery.
Thue, io some parts of the world, the
eastern portion, without regard to its
situation, is always deemed tbe most
desirable. Tbit preference arises from
tbe old tradition that our Lord will ap
pear from tbe East. It is also believed
that tbe dead in tbe eastern portion
will be first to rise; tben those in the
southern, western and northern, in or
der. In England it was once tbe cus
tom to bury ,'eioos and other bad char
actors on tbe north aide of the church. (
The custom of laying tbe dead in a I
certain direction is responsible for tbe

That tbe'soldicrs of tbe Continental
I army—yesterday farmers and. artisans—
could fight history tells, but in tbe
transition stage the idea of suboedina
i tlon that marks tbe difference between
an army and' an armed mob was diffi
oult’to grasp by men in whom tbe idea
of personal independence was so strong.
The captain was no better than the
private in the village from which both
hailed, anddt was not stMnge that the
private, when ordered by his superior
officer to fetch a bucket of water from
the spring, should retort: “Get it your
self. I got it yesterday. It’s your turn
today-* Thia was not insubordination
in tbe view of the rank and file, but
merely tbe assertion of a proper spirit
cf manlineaa
It happened not infrequently during
tbe civil war that the private was a
richer man than tbe officer, as in the
case of Elias Howe, the inventor of tbe
sewing machine, who on several occa
aicsM presented a fine horse to some ma
lar ar colonel too poor to purchase such
a mount himself.
There was another soldier of this
stamp, Koch by name, who was well
known in Philadelphia. He left a for
tune of over $1,000,000. It fell to bis
lot one night to be stationed sentinel
over a baggage wagon. The weather
was cold and wet. This set the sentinel
musing. After remaining on post for
half an hour he called lustily:
“Corporal of the guard!”
The corporal came and inquired what
was wanting. Koch wished to be reliev
ed for a few minutes, having something
to say to the officer in command of the
post. His wish was gratified, and in a
few minuses he stood in the presence of
General Macpherson.
“General,” said be, “what is the
Value of that wagon over which lam
sentinel?”
“How should I know? Was that all
you wanted?” responded the general im
patiently.
“Something approximate,” insisted
the soldier.
“Oh, well, 01,000 perhaps.”
“Very well, General Macpherson,”
responded the private. “I will write a
check for that amount, and then I will
go to bed.” —Youth’s Companion.
WHAT THE BAND PLAYED.
An Exciting Dinner Table Episode on an
Atlantic Liner.
An instance of what it calls “trans
atlantic courtesy” is related by Le Gau
lois of Paris. One of the greatest singers
of France, a woman whom it says every
body will at once identify on a mo
ment’s consideration, was returning
from Now York on one of the German
liners. One evening, glancing at the
programme of the concert that was to
bo played at dinner, she saw the an
nouncement of a triumphal march cele
brating the German victory of 1871.
“lam sure,” she said to a fellow
countryman sitting near, “that this is
not intended as a discourtesy to us, but
• I don’t care! I’m too much of a patriot
not to express my disapproval of it in
my own way when they begin to play
this piece. Wait and see. ”
The captain, having caught the gist
of these remarks and noticing the great
artist’s agitation, glanced at the pro
gramme to see what caused it; then,
without showing any surprise, he spoke
to one of the waiters in a low tone.
At the moment when the German tri
umphal march was due to begin the
French singer, who could hardly con
trol her agitation, prepared to leave the
table. The first chord was played, the
artist arose and stood, pale, agitated,
amazed, while the officers and other
passengers also got up and smiled sym
pathetically at her. And the band play
ed “The Marseillaise 1”
How Senator Vest Obtained 111. Desk.
Many good stories oould be told of
the alertness which senators’display in
securing well placed desks, but the ex
perience of Mr. Vest is especially worth
relating. When*in 1883-the civil service
law was being discussed, Mr. Pendle
ton, an Ohio Democrat, and Mr. Dawes
had presented bills. By a shrewd bit of
politics theJßepublicans abandoned their
support of tbe Dawes bill-and voted for
Mr. Pendleton’s measure, their votes,
together with the votes of the Demo
crats favorable to tbe measure, being
sufficient to pass it As the bill was
about to be voted on-Mr. Cockrell.mov
ed that its title be changed so as to
read, “A bill to retain Republicans in
office.” As-soon as it passed, Mr. Vest
filed a claim for Mr. Pendleton’s seat.
“The author of such a bill, ” said he,
“will never come back to tbe .senate.”
Mr. Vest- was right, and at the begin
ning of the nexteongress he moved into
Mr. Pendleton’s vacant chair. Wash
ington Post.
Th* Curtate Was Down.
A party of countrymen were in town
enjoying the sights. At last they came
by one of the theaters in tbe Strand.
"Suppose we.go in,” said one.
“Better see bow much it is first,”
said another.
After inquiring tbe price of admission
theyeilecided to send one of the party in
sideKo see whether it was good enough
or not. After remaining for some-time
the delegate renamed.
“How is it?” asked one.
“No gp&L A lot of fellers fiddlin in
front of a biff pfctur*. Gome on. ”
