used in building the words “ good work.”
The effect upon the hoard is line. Tho

A tarty ok voting folks in Pleasant
Valley, Vn., went to the house of u newly
married pair to “ boll ” them, as the
custom is there. Awakened by the jing
ling of many bells, the bride and groom
arose and entered into the fun heartily.
To add to the noise, the bride and
another young woman ran out and began
to pull violently on the rope of the farm
bell hanging in a frame back of the
house. They jerked so hard that the
bell slipped from its place and fell, strik
ing the bride on the land and fracturing
her nkull.
A Nevada newspaper says that a citi
zen recently saw two Piute bucks dig a
hole in a snow bank, got into it, and
wrap themselves in a single blanket,
preparatory to a night’s rest. In tho
morning he saw no signs of the Indians,
but v mound of snow marked the spot
where they went to bed. Tie was sure
that they had frozen during the cold
night, and prepared to dig out the
bodies ; but the first thrust of the shovel
brought the bucks to their foot, with
grunts of disgust. Instead of being
frozen, they wvro moist with perspira
tion.
A OinoAoo commercial traveller is
reported as saying that drummers for
stove houses now carry a wimple of any
particularly fine parlor stove that they
may Ik> selling, lie says: “This is
more satisfactory to tho merchants than
buying from photographs, but it’s no
fun for the boys to carry stoves from
town to town, I tell you, particularly
when it is considered that their orders
are to put. fires in the stoves so that cus
tomers can see just how the thing works.
Many a time have 1 seen hot stoves
lifted into baggage ears to tie carried
from one town to another.”
A Yoma man of Carbonate, Dakota,
thought that he’d be smart, and so began
a correspondence with a foolish young
woman in the East whom he had never
seen. She wanted his photograph, and
lie sent her that of a hotel-keeper of the
place. She was so pleased with it that
she agreed to goto Dakota and marry
her correspondent. She started alone
and arrived at Carbonate the other day;
but the young man lmd fled. The pa
per that reports the occurrence says;
“ The situation is very embamssing for
the lady. The hotel man would marry
her were he not engaged to another girl.
A rktoktkr of the Louisville Couru-r-
Joitni.il asked Congressman Bragg
what he meant by the expression “coffee
cooler," used in his speech against the
vetoed pension hill. “If you get Forbes’
picture of the war,” said Mr. Bragg,
“you will see a picture of the regiments
as they move into notion. On the side
of the road, under a cedar copse, there
iiiv tlii'ei' soldiers squatted down holding
their eotl'eo in cups, cooling it. And
then 1 they remain until after the battle;
and then rejoin their regiments. These
fellows wera features in every regiment,
and 1 was surprised at the faithfulness
of Forties's delineation of these skulk

At tho time of the recent strike of

A SOUTHERN STORY.
Tin: GENERAL. WAS A GUNNER.
The Editor nnd the Man who wax
Worried Over an Item.
{From the N. Y. F.ventng Pent.]
Among the many irons that have nt
various times kept the General on active
duty was a newspaper once, of which he
was proprietor, I>■ it not editor. As pro
prietor lie held himself personally re
sponsible for all that x<ent into its col
umns. This responsibility has assumed
a very grave complexion on more than
one .Ks-asion, notably in the case which ’
resulted in the affair in question. A
braggart of doubtful antecedents auJ
more than doubtful record, took um
brage at something thut^apjx'arod in tlis
paper for which the General stood spon
sor. A vast volume of fire and smoke
(more of the latter, doubtless, than of
the former) was kindled by this little
matter. The whole concern was threat
ened with annihilation, nnd the editor,
who was physically rather a meagre
specimen, trembled in his brown cloth
gaiters, or would have done so if the
General had not promptly and derisive
ly taken the whole matter on his own
broad shoulders. The insulted party
breathed forth fiery threats of vengeance
with such vehemence that the General’s
friends liesonght him to lie on his guard.
He laughed his cheeriest into their con
cerned faces, but consented to burden
himself with a pistol, which he earned
in his capacious hip pocket. He was
seen oftener than usual in the places
where liis antagonist would most likely
be found, but without ever encountering
him. It was only through report that
lie could tell whether or not the tires of
his wrath showed any signs of burning
themselves out. Report told him that
outraged virtue was still on the “ram
page.” So long as that was the case,
the General’s hip pocket continued to
bulge out,. He had begun to grow
laired with the whole affair, when, saun
tering slowly by a public-house on one
of the main streets, he heard a note of
excited warning hurled into his ears
from a man on the opposite side of the
street, simultaneously with the whizzing
i mind of a bullet that passed through
tho crown of his soft felt hat. With
the swiftness of an enraged tiger he
faced about ill time to see the man who
had tried to shoot him in the back, leap
Is'liind a sheltering tree-box that gave
him a temporary advantage. The Gen
eral’s hip pocket no longer bulged. No
one could tell how he managed it, for it
was all done before the nearest loafer,
running at his greatest speed, could get •.
to the spot. When he did get there, it ,
was to see the swaggerer prone on the
sidewalk, where lie was pinioned by ono !
of the General’s substantial knees. His
loaded pistol was in his right hand. He
had never touched the trigger. Patiently,
wordlessly, only showing his apprecia
tion of tiie cowardliness of the attack
by his blazing eyes and short, quick
breathing, lie held his would-be-murder
er until a crowd had gathered about
them; then he addressed him in a voice
that trembled a little from passion in
spite of him: “I could have killed you
and you know it. You know you de
serve it, too, for the earth would bo rid
of a cowardly scoundrel if I did. I’ve
kept, you here to make you beg my par
don before all these people for every
thing you've said, and for what you tried
to do just now. After you’ve begged
my pardon you’ve got to acknowledge
before all these people that, the para
graph you’ve lieon playing the buily
over was true to the minutest particular.
After you’ve done that, you can go.”
Lifting his conquered foe to his feet by
a firm grip on bis collar, not without
shaking him slightly, very much us lie
might have shaken a puppy rescued
from drowning, lie restored his own
weapon to his pocket, pulled his waist
coat carefully down over liis portly per
son, and calmly awaited the issue. It
was all that the most exacting could de
mand in shape of an apology, at the
close of which the Gecueral turned from
the gaping crowd with a contemptuous
exclamation uml walked rapidly home
ward, anxious to reach liis house in ad
vance of any disagreeable rumors, tin
the way he met a Tittle crying child. It
was too young to convey any more in
formation than that it was lost. In his
great strong arms he lifted it up, and
holding it close to the breast that had
just been heaving with the hottest pas
sions that nm stir the human pulse, lie
soothed its terror and told it to point
home. Follow ing the tiny index finger,
he presently found himself once more
face to face with his foe ns lie readied a
certain cute, through which the dust
begrimed and crestfallen man was hur
rying with down-dropped head, and
hearing, so withdrawn from what was
passing around him. Unit the child in
the General’s arms lisped the name of
“father” several times in the eager joy
of recognition liefore he raised Ins sullen
face to see liis baby enfolded softly in
the arms that had just closed with him
in a strugge for life and death. It was
rather a disagreeable surprise to the
General, w ho, not caring to prolong the
discomfort of the situation for the other
man. hastily put the child on its way
ward little £cet and withdrew muclimore
precipitately than ho would have dono
perhaps if the muzzle of a pistol had
boon again ]Hiiuted at his hack.
That Same Man.
Did you ever, asks an exchange, meet
with that unfortunate man whom every
body who does not know him firmly be
lieves to bo married l The man to whom
every married woman savs: “ Really,
you ought to have a nice little wife and
ii nioe little home. You would make
such on admirably domestic husband!"
When they know that lie isn’t, and isn’t
likely to In-, they immediately put up a
history for him and give it out confi
dentially that he has had on a Iventure :
that lielios loved and been jilt.nl, or that
the loved one has died and his heart is in
the tomb of the (Amulets with the lie
loved Juliet. And they nit A him and
are tender and gentle to him, and the
young girls avoid him and the old maids
flock around him and want to console
him. If you’ll investigate him you’ll
find he's perfeetly sound, jvrfeetly
Heart-whole, has perhaps jilted a lot of
girls, and is just as merry a bachelor
as there is.

A Pathetic Incident.
A few weeks ago in this city a { st
widow died, leaving one child, a little
lame boy, to the cold charities of the
world.
After his mother's funeral the little
fellow was taken ill from the combined
results of grief and neglect, and it was
then evident that he would soon be
united to his only friend.
He was left alone much of the day,
there being no one who could spare the
time to stay with him. It was often
noticed that the voices of t»o persons
could be heard in his little room. But
when those in charge entered he would
be alone and apparently asleep.
One day they listened, being quite
sure that no one was with the child, and
they overheard this strange monologue:
“Is you rite there, mamma”’
“Yes, rny little boy, l is rite herel”
“Was you went away yet?”
“I wented back to heaven to tell God
about, my little boy.”
“Did you was afraid, mamma?”
“No, my own little boy, ’cause God is
nicer’n peoples.”
“Did you told Him about me. mam
ma?”
to led Him I had a little boy
na> ed tarry—an’—-an’—”
'i was a loud noise of sobbing
then, and the listeners without cried,
too. Presently the child’s voice re
Burned:
“Did you told God to let me come up
there, mamma?’’
“Yes, my boy, an’ ne said, ‘bimeby,
bimeby.’ ”
‘ Mamma, I’se—so —tired —an’—an'—
sleep—an’—l want to come an stay
with—you - and —God.”
There was a long silence then, broken
by no cry or sob. The listeners went in
after resolviug in their hearts to be
thereafter very patient with the mother
less o c.
But death had been kinder than they.

The Chicago Herald tells this story :
Frank Lincoln gave his mouolgue en
tertainment in a town in Southern Illi
nois the other night. The hall was well
filled, but the people did not seem very
much amused at the humorist’s funny
work. After the show a man with Ezra
Kendall whiskers stole into Lincoln’s
dressing mini and poured a hatful of
coin into the humorist’s hands.
“Well, how did the show come off ?”
asked Lincoln, trying to shake off his
chill.
“Fair,” blurted the committeeman,
drenching the floor with tobacco juice,
“thirty fair show.”
“How did you like it?”
“Oh, tolerable.''
“Then you have seen better?”
“Sort o disapp'intod you didn’t bring
it along. We mis all a-looking fur it
Did you furget it. ”
“ Forget what ?”
“Why, that ere thing you call the
monologue. The feller who came here

When Lincoln got to the depot the
next day he saw tb -b the dead walls bore
these posters: “Frank Lincoln will
present his monologue at hall to
night. Come and see it.” This ex
plained the coolness of the audience the
night ln-fore. They were waiting for
the monologue.

A Mixed Pair.
Among the steerage passengers that
left for China on the steamer Gaelic
yesterday were Mr. and Mrs. Mong
Chung and three children. There
would be nothing unusual about the fact
of a Chinese couple going back to their
native country, but this was not a Chi
nese couple, as the female branch of it
was a Caucasian girl of about twenty
four summers. She was quite a nice
looking woman, and in conversation with
one of the Inspectors stated that she
was l>orn in Philadelphia, of German
parents. She married the Mongol, she
said, because she loved him.
“Chinamen are just as good as white
men,” she added, “and I would just as
soon marry one of them as to marry a
mau of mv own color.”
“ How long have you been married to
him,” inquired the Inspector.
“ About eight years. Ever since I was
sixteen years old,” she answered.
The woman appeared to lie happy and
went aboard the steamer with an infant
babe, a result of the union, in her arms.
Three children are the sum total of the
marriage. The eldest is about seven
years old and the second about live
years. The two older children have not
the slightest trace of Caucasian blood,
but the baby is of a very fair complexion
and of a very decided Caucasian cast of
countenance. The husband is said to
have considerable money, which he ac
cumulated in this city, and he is taking
his better-half to visit his relatives in
China. He will undoubtedly let her do
for herself when tliev get to that coun
try. Among the 125 Chinese that left
on the steamer yesterday Mong Chung,
the husband, was voted by everyone on
the wharf as lieing the ugliest looking
among the number. —San Francisco Ex

Recenlly I bought a jj|
young horse. He was
taken very ill with Pneu- I
monia. I tried to think I
of something to relieve H
him. Concluded what I
was good for man would I
be good for the horse. S
So I got a bottle of Piso’s |g
Cure and gave him half B
of it through the nos- IS
trils. This helped him,
and I continued giving S
same doses night and y
morning until I had ||
used two bottles. The
horse has become per
fectly sound. I can re- jj|
commend Piso’s Cure for
the horse as well as for jg
man. ||
