' PINNED A WOMAN TO THE GROUND.
The Wetter Msde Less Serloee by the
Feet That She Were Army Sheer.
Richard M. Sommers, the foreman of
the roller department in the mint, was
recently chatting with some of the men
who ha>l seen service in the late war,
and. after relating an interesting advent
ure that bad occurred in 1883. said:
But I never was so frightened in my
life as I was the day I pinned a fair
young rebel to the ground with my bay
onet 1 thought I had killed her.
The circumstances were these. In
August. 1883. when the Philadelphia
brigade was moving toward Mine Run. ...
Vtu. I was detailed from my command. ! Cf «eir.g»u th* pmmi-
the Seventy-first Pennsylvania volun
teer*. known as Balter s California regi
ment. to watch h farmer who was be
lieved to be a spy
In order to throw him off his guard
and also to euable me to learn the better
whether he was a spy or not. 1 waa in
structed to report at his house, on the !
Mountain View farm, in Fauquier coun- ■
ty. and Mate that I had come there by I
command of Colonel VV Penn Smith, in
in order to protect Itis home from auy
straggling soldiers that might trespass
with a view to foraging on the |»cmise*
I was well received by the family,
who. living in that out of the way coun
try, were quite timid and in constant
fear of the passing troop*. I was boused
there, and fed at tbejr expense, and soon
I realised that the hospitality of Vir
ginia’s first families was all that it was
reported to be. The two pretty girls,
sisters, one a blonde and the other a
brunette, were at first a little shy of the
•wild Yankee," as theycalledme.bat
we soon became friends, however, al
though they would persist in telling me
the Confederate cause was just, and that
the Union troops were invaders, and all
that sort of thing.
The Mountain View farm covered a
good many acres of ground, bnt the
owner was poor at that time, and “sweet
sixh-en," aa I called the pretty blonde,
had no shoes with which to cover her
well shaped little feet Now I bad a
brand new pair of army shoes in my
knapsack and a fairly good pair on my
feet ,1 asked her if she would wear my
new pair if I would make her a present
of them. She seemed a little loath to
accept them at first not because of pride,
but because she thought it unfair to take
them from a soldier who might soon
stand in need of them himself. Bnt at
last she did accept them, and waa real
well pleased to do so. Of course, they
were a mile too big for her, but that
didn't matter She soon got nsed to
them.
It used to be her custom to watch for
foraging soldiera and then to send me
after them to drive them away. One
morning she said'. “Oh, Yank! there is n
forager ont there. Don't yon see him?
There he goes under the trees over there.'
1 started out after the intruder, bnt
I ran all over the part of the farm indi
cated without seeing any one. It waa
very warm, and I waa very warm and
tired when I returned. On seeing her 1
told her that 1 could find no one, when
she laughed right in my face and said:
“I just fooled the wild Yank for fan."
It was fun for her, but not forme. How
ever, 1 laughed with her. Just then 1
put my gun down on the ground, as waa
my habit, bayonet downward, intending
to stick It Into the ground and thus let
the piece stand reversed, but instead of
that 1 etnek it through her- shoe and
pinned the beantifal girl fasti
1 waa never so frightened in my life
as I was then. 1 would not have harmed
the young woman for the world: she had
become to me like a slater.
Maybe I wasn't glad when I saw a
twinkle in her bright, bine eyes, and
beard her sweet voice ringing in laugh-
tor aa she said:
’’Well. Yank, you did not hart me a
bit; yon know these aboee are a trifle
large for me, and yonr bayonet joat went
through the upper and sole without grac
ing my toes."
I was rejoiced to bear her talk that
way, faaanre you. I waa taken away
from there in a few days after that, it
having been found that her father was
hot what he waa snapooled to bo. Bnt I
often thought about that family, espe
cially of one member, In my marches
and in later years, but I never met again
with any member of it Not even with
my pretty “sweet sixteen” friend, for 1
was engag'd in a great deal of active
service in the army, und when 1 was
mastered out of it I returned to Phila
delphia and never went back to Virginia

Intelligence In Mir*.
The organs of hearing and smelling tn
mice are very efficient: but their eye
sight is. we believe, poor. Their into!
ligence is. we should tliiuk, low, a>
might be expected from tbe paucity of
convolution* in their btaiuk We sus
pended a tin of flour at such a height
from the ground that our little friends
could not quite jump into it, though the
smell of the food made them very per
severing in their eudeavors to do so.
We then arranged a string so tliat by n
detour they could get at the good stuff
that way.
One mouse by following that course
attained to the desired goal, but evident
ly by chance, tor being startled out of
the tin. it continued for a long while to
make futile efforts to recover its lost po
sition by jumping up, never again seek
ing the road which had led it before to
the object of its desire. For hours we
have lain in bed watching mice trying
in voiu to spring into the tin of floor,
none of them aver perceiving that than
waa a feasible road leading thereto.—
Chambers' Journal.
Cblvalrun* Devotion.
At tbe most extensive aquarium in
England, the Brighton Zoo. the female
iob-ter recently cast her shell. She
.crewed herself np t.-getheron the tues
and tail and suddenly bent ber body.
Snap went tbe shell in its center, and the
vase of the liack cnuie away in one piece.
The elaws were lier next care, and she
worked away at them for a long time.
It was a proceeding oC extreme deli
cacy. considering that all tbe flesh of the
great claw liad to be passed through tbe
vuiall base. During tbe operation one
daw came off altogether, and this must
liure teemed to the lobster lady a serious
misfortune, as it will not grow to its full
size again until tbe second year. Tbe
tail and legs gave very little tremble, and
tbe body, when thus undressed, proved
to be of p pale bine.
The shell casting over, tbe lobster sank
on the sand, and this action seemed a
signal for the attack of every creature in
tbe tank.
The defenseless victim bade fair tosuc-
enmb to tbe fnry of ber enemies, when
tbs male lobster suddenly came to the
rescue. Standing over his helpless bet-
ter half, be fought ber assailants relent
lessly. Day and night did he watch over
her, nutil her shell was sufficiently hard
ened to protect her in fighting her own
battles
When this happy moment arrived he
deliberately picked np the old claw,
inoka it in bis nippers, and ate tbe meat
He then dog a bole in the land, placed in
it tbe broken bite of shell, buried them,
and piled a number of email stones above
tbe grave.—Youth's Companion.
An Interesting Will Can.
An interesting case and one of peculiar
complication was disposed of by the
court in Allentown recently. When tbe
wife of tbe late Peter Manry, of West
Bethlehem, died two or three years ago.
she left a will bequeathing all ber prop
erty, real or personal, to ber husband,
and it waa stipulated that after his death
tbe estate should revert to “our heirs,”
to qnote the language of the document
Manry married a second -wife, and a
few weeks after tbe ceremony lie was
taken sick with u fever and died.
His widow brought suit against the
heirs, Frank and George Maury and
Mrs. C. Benner, for a dower right in tbe
property, which was one-third of tbe
estate for life. Tbe main question dis
cussed before tbe court was whether the
interest of Peter Maury in tbe estate
was an absolute one or a life one only.
Judge Albright took the latter view of the
affair and rendered a decision in favor
of the heirs, one of whom lives in Texas
Tbe property is valuable and is situated
in West Bethlehem. Before his death
Maury gave his wife a check for $500 or
$600 which he bod in bauk.-Pbiladel-
phia Ledger.
A New Wav of (tattles Pottage Stamp*
The postal authorities appear to re
gard the need for additional conven
iences in tbe way of stump distribution
as real, for they have licensed a syndi
cate to attneb to a selected number of
pillar boxes, experimentally, an ingen
ious piece of mechanism working upon
the “penuy-in-tbe-slot" principle. By
two movements of the hand the delivery
is obtained of a small envelope contain
ing It memorandum book full of useful
postal information, with blank leaves
which might serve fur letter paper, and
fn the cover of the book is securely in
serted a penny stamp. The syndicate
looks for its profit not to tbe commission
on the sale of tbo stamps, bnt to the in
come from advertisements inserted iD
the books.—Loudon Teiegntpb.
