Signature of
Too Imaginative.
A curious illustration of the journalistic
imaginativencM carried to a high develop
ment was had in a dispatch to a city paper
from its correspondent in a southern city.
He was telegraphing some facts in the
local history of tbe late Ensign Bagley,
slain in battle at Cardenas. “He was,"
telegraphed the correspondent, “in his
twenty-third year and was the first officer
to fall in the Spanish-American war. His
grandfather was the first man shot in the
Mexican war tn 1846, hia father, a ma
jor In the Confederate service, was the first
man slain In the conflict between the
north and south. Thus history repeats it
self.’* This read very smoothly to the
night editor, who gathered these interest
ing details under a striking headline and
sent it up. The eye of the managing editor
on his proofs noted the interim that must
have occurred between the death of the
major and the birth of the eon, and he
prevented history from repeating itself.—

are incapacitated for work will receive £6O

Bo soldier who wears the cross for valor
need fear that he will end his days In the

An Old Question Comes Un Again.
The 8 teenth regiment had taken a
glorious part in its first battle of tbe
war for Cuban freedom and was rest
ing on its arms and laurels.
“Well,” remarked the soldier with
tbe red bandana handkerchief around
his head, “we’ve had our baptism of
fire."
“I reckon we have,” replied the sol
dier who was examining a wound on
the butt of his rifle, “By the way,
you’re a Baptist, ain’t you?”
“That’s what I am.”
“Did you notice that our baptism of
fire came in the form of sprinkling?”
“Not particularly. I noticed we
were pretty thoroughly immersed in
it.”
When taps sounded an hour later
they were still wrangling over it.

It was a bitter cold night, and a
night policeman in Lombard street no
ticed a light in the bank window, and,
going to the door, rapped.
“Ia that you, policeman?’’ asked a
voice from within.
“Yes,” was the reply.
“Come in and have a drink,” said
tbe voice.
The policeman stepped inside and en
countered a dapper little fellow sitting
ftt ft cloak.
“I’ve been detained tonight straight
ening up accounts.”
Tbe policeman wanned himself at
the rousing fire that biased on the
hearth and went out again on his beat.
An hour after the policeman came that
way and, still seeing the light through
the window, rapped again.
“Is that you, policeman?”
“Yes.”
“Come in and warm yourself.”
The polioegian accepted the invita
tion.
“It’s • howling cold night,” said the
clerk.
“You’re right, sir,” said the police
mftZL
Bo he got another drink and returned
to his beat. He was rather surprised
next day to find that his friend of the
night before had got off with some |50,-
000 of the bank’s funds.—London Suc

Aa Attack on Sevastopol.
From whese I was stationed I could
see the dense masses of the attacking
columns advance up the slope. Then
the torrents of grape which met them
would obscure their ranks for a mo
ment and hardly a man would be seen
to remain. lat one time saw a body of
men many hundreds strong so complete
ly swept away by one discharge that
only a few of thereat tank remained
when the iron storm went past I The
dead and dying could be clearly distin
guished lying in piles on the hillside,
and over their prostrate bodies fresh
troops crowded on to meet the same
fate. Many a manly heart and nervous
arm went down in the deadly struggle
on that green hillside. No valor avail
ed. The cannon’s force was greater than
the strength of man.
How many ardent hopes were extin
guished I How many home circles de
stroyed and lives rendered miserable by
the havoc of that hour none can toll,
no more than they can imagine the
bodily agony or the grief for home and
friends which was there endured I What
would be the value of what is called
“glory” if weighed on the field of bat
tle among the dead? —Good Words.
AlUnu or Alt*m*h»?
There can, I suppose, be no doubt
that in the lines in “The Deserted Vil
lage”—
To distant climeg, a dreary scene,
Where half the convex world intrudes between,
Through torrid tracts with fainting steps they
go
Where wild Altama murmurs to their woe—
Goldsmith is alluding to the River Al
tamaha in Georgia, the colonization of
which* had taken place not long before.
But his expressions ' are not very accu
rate. So far from being torrid in the
strict sense of the word, the latitude of
the mouth of the Altamaha is more
than 81 degrees. No part indeed of the
present United States is located within
the tropics. But, besides this, although
there are certainly rattlesnakes and, I
believe, scorpions of a certain species in
Georgia, there are no tigers there to
“wait their hapless prey,” which the
poet reckons among the horrors of the
region where some of the inhabitants of
Auburn have gone.—Notes and Queries.
Snow That Is Alive.
A most curious phenomenon in the
northwest of Canada is the appearance
of millions of minute black insects
whenever a thaw occurs.
During the winter the snow is dry
and crisp like sand, and nothing what
ever can be discovered of these insects,
but as soon as a thaw comes they are
found everywhere in large patches,
looking like a dusting of soot.
They are generally known as snow
fleas or snow lice and have slight hop
ping powers, being able to leap some
three or four inches. They entirely dis
appear when it freezes again, and not
a trace of them can be found.
They do not fall with the snow as
there may have been no snow for a
month or more before their arrival and
are probably analogous to the “red
snow” of arctic regions.
Second Time la Out.
The hotel stood on a corner of a main
street and a comparatively unfrequent
ed side street. One evening I overheard
the little old black man talking very
savagely with another around the cor
ner on the side street, and among other
things he said:
“Yes, sub, an es I hits you dey
woan’ be but two licks struck. I’ll hit
you an yon’ll hit de groan’.
“You done heah whut I say.”—Den
ver Post.
Her Liquid Voice.
“Your wife has such a liquid voice, ”
■aid Mr. F. admiringly to Mr. T.
“Yes; that’s a pretty good name for
it,” replied Mr. T.
Mr. F. looked up inquiringly, and
Mr. T. added immediately: “Don’t you
understand? Why, it never dries up,
you know. ” —London Fun.
Not Diapoeed to DeUy Him.
“I would go to the end of the world
for you, ” he exclaimed passionately.
“I’m sure I wish you would,” she
answered coldly, "and—then jump off. ”
