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 —Philadelphia Press Mj :t*rbl« s »r.

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.

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.

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.
