An Interesting Letter.
Mr. S. M. Oglesby received a letter
some time ago from a northern soldier
who nursed him through a dangerous
illuess, in the hospital at Washington
City, from a had wound during the
war. The gentleman is now a mem
her of the Grand Army of the Republic,
and his letter is a touching evidence of
the kindly feeliug existing between the
old confederate and union soldiers,
when they wi re thrown together and
had the opportunity to know each oth
er thoroughly,
Mr. Oglesby had not heard from hie
old hospital friend before since leaving
the place after he recovered, until re
ceiving the letter during the past sum
tner, but several communications have
passed between them since. We pub
lish the following, which is interesting
uot only to old soldiers, hut for the
spirit tu which it is written :
Troy, N. Y., Nov. 3d, 1895.
Brother Oglesby:
i was as much pleased at heating
from yoh as you were from me. Iu
fact, I do not remember ever receiving
a letter in my life which gave me such
genuine pleasure. I hope you will
pardon me for not writing before, as I
have been trying to gather up some
iuformatian which would be interesting
to you.
Iu conversation with my friends
about your letter, I found that many
of them were very much surprised.
They had an idea that in the bosom of
the confederate soldier there was yet
that same feeling which existed over
30 years ago. It was with a great deal
of pleasure and pride that I exhibited
the letter 1 got from you, as the best
of prools that such a feeling no longer
exists, and that the feeling of brotherly
love is no longer confined to auy one
section of country Among the mem
bers of the G. A. R. post of this city,
•.here was general rejoicing when 1
showed them your letter, and so pleas
ed wore they at knowing that there did
exist such a friendly feeling, that they
asked me to have your letter published
in our daily papers, and also iu the G.
A. li. Journal.
Well, brother Silas, the mayor of
New York City is to send a delegation
to Troy tomorrow to make arrange
merits for a grand parade of the Blue
and Gray on the 4th of July next, and
while I think you must be a little lame
from your wound, still I would he most
happy, and I am sure it would give me
uubouuded pleasure, to walk arm in
arm with you, and to extend to you on
behalf of my post a welcome to the
hospitality of our homes—and camp
fires.
Aft< r I left service I came home and
learned the carriage making trade, and
have followed it ever since. I got
marrii d and had a most happy home
for 24 years, and saved money, but 2£
years ago my wife died and I seemed
to lose all hope. However, lam now
again doing very nicely and enjojiug
the very best of health. Have worked
for one firm 28 years. I am almost
alone iu the world now, tho only rela
tive being a brother in San Francisco.
I am thinking of going to California,
and should 1 do so, will certainly go by
way of your town, and be most pleased
to accept your kind invitation to stop
with you while there.
In conclusion, let me say that not
only myself, but the members of my
post, wish to extend to you and your
family the best of wishes, with the
hope that some time we may meet to
talk over the old times which, after 30
years of sleep are now so pleasantly
awakened. Should you, or any one
connected with you, ever visit my sec
tion of country, I assure you on behalf
of all my friends a welcome which will
once and forever convince you that the
feelings which once were so rampant
are now buried, never to be resurrect
ed. Hoping to hear from you soon,
and personally wishing you health,
happiuess and prosperity, I am now and
for all time, your friend,
John Butler.
P- S.—l hav’nt forgotten your old
command, “2 ranks form fours, right
smart git 1”

Robert Rowls, of Hollands, Va., has

left me in a low state of health. I
i tried nume'ous remedies, none of which
did roe any good, until I was induced
to try a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough

EDISON’S FIRST BIG CHECK.
- %
So l.argo That He Thought It Couldn’t
He Good.
Among the many inventions that
sprang from the fertile Thom
ns A. Edison was the instrument gener
ally kuowu as the ticker-r-tbe little
clicking glass covered affair one
sees nowadays reeling off its yards and
yards of paper ribbon hearing on the
surface in clear letters the baseball
score, the results of speed trials be
tween the thoroughbreds of the eastern
tracks and much important news. It
is only within recent years that we
have had this development of the ma
chine that wras originally intended to
give to speculators iu stock markets
a line on how their money was going
and comiug.
Mr. Edison, however, isu’t collecting
royalties on the tickers turned out by
the manufacturers, and to few persons
is the man who euvolved the electric
light, the telephone, the kinetoscope
and numerous other wonders of the
century, is identical with the inventor
of the original ticker. This compara
lively insignificant work of the Wizard
was the means by which he obtained
the first money beyond his salary as a
telegraph operatoi. To a party of his
friends who entertained him one even
ing recently in the rooms of the Arion
Society Mr. Edison related how he sold
the patent right.
“When I came to New York to sell
my invention,” Mr. Edison said, “I
was largely in doubt as to its value. 1
knew it was a useful contrivance, but
it was with some diffidence that I en
tered the presence of the manufacturer
with whom I opened negotiations for
l ts disposal. As a boy I bad often
longed to possess $5,000, and I had a
good mind to hold out for that much
money, though I felt secretly that I
would be doing well to get $2,000
So when the manufacturer asked me
how much 1 wanted for th* ; . patent
right, I stammered and asked how
much he was willing to pay.
“ ‘Come around iu the morning,’ he
said, and I went home to dream about
that $5,000 I was going to get —per-
haps. When I saw him in the morn
ing he said with a take that-or-take
nothing air of determination :
“ ‘We have decided to pay you $40,-
000—not a cent more.’
‘“I almost fainted, but in less than
five minutes I stuck my same to a
contract aud was out iu the street look
iug iu a half dazed way at a check iu
my hand. ‘Payable to the order of
Thomas A. Edison forty thousand dol
lars ($40,000). ’ Then 1 began to
think, aud the $40,000 seemed like
$40,000,000, aud I said to myself:
•Tom, you’ve been swindled. The
check is not good.’ And wheu I went
to the bank—l had never been inside
of one to do any business—and pre
sented the check, I was not surprised
wheu the teller scrutinized it, gla need
at me aud pushed it hack with a shake
of the head aud a remark that I was
too excited to understand, but conclud
ed that my fears were confirmed. So
I stuffed it in my pocket and went to
see a friend, to whom I related my ex
perience.
“ ‘Let’s see the check,’ he said.
•Why that’s all right. You must be
identified,’ aud we went back to the
bank. The cashier knew my friend and
the money was soon counted out.
Still I wasn’t sure I was awake until
I began to feel and hear the snap of
the new batik notes. It was a big
bundle of money and I stuck some of
it in every pocket, so that almost every
where I put my haDd 1 could feel it
bulging out.
“When I went to the hotel that
night do you thiuk I took my clothes
off? Not much. I slept in them so I
wouldn’t wake up aud fiud that it was
all a cruel dream.”

HOUSE ON WHEELS.
! How Two of tho Nebreskans are i’ro
oeeitiiig to Georgia.
Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 9 J few
days ago there passed through this city
a* house, with a roof of oil cloth, built
on a big farm wagon. It was drawn
by a pair of bouy horses. Its only
door was at the front, where tho driver
sat, and as it went through the streets
au old woman and a girl leaned ou the
driver’s hack and peered out at the high
buildings and sights that were Bttarge
to them Another man walked behind
the wagon, and this composed the par
ty that owned and lived in the little
house ou wheels.
The men were August Kemps end
Albert Woeppel and they were moving
from Nebraska to the Fizgerald colony
in Georgia. They had a farm near
Fremont, Neb., Woeppel said, and sold
it. They built the house to sleep and
eat and live in as they moved. A
stove stood near the door in which a
red hot fire burned yesterday, and the
smoke curled in wreaths from the pipe,
which stuck up through the roof. A
bunk extended across the rear of the
house and two hens and a big red roos
ter were strutting around ou tho bed
clothing.
Woeppel said they left Nebraska
two weeks ago and expected to reach
Georgia in four weeks. Woeppel's
throat wheezed raspiugly as he talked
and he pulled down his coat collar and
showed the cause of it. He had a sil
ver plate with a hole in it resting
against his throat and he took it out
and exhibited it. The hole led in
tbrougli a silver pipe that bent down
ward into his windpipe. He breathed
through this. The whole in his throat
lie explained, was made by a bullet six
years ago, that went iu there and came
out between his shoulder blades ft
was fired by an Indian, who was trying
to steal some of his cattle when he was
r a herdsman out on the plains of Idaho.
“Fifty miles behind Ogden.”
It was on account of his hole in his
throat that the plucky little Dutchman*
was moving to Georgia. “De air’s to
cold up dere,” ho said.
Woeppel collects spare change as he
goes along by exhibiting this li.le in
his neck and playing a harmonica,
which he blows iuto through the pipe
that he places in the hole in the silver
tube in his throat.
If we could trace Dyspepsia to its
source, st would lead hack to our kitch
pus. In fact, tho secret of good health
>s good cooking. If wi ll cooked, fouls
are partially digested, if poorly cooked
they are less digestible than iu their
raw state. If you are a victim of faul
tv cooking; that is, if you suffer Irom
Dyspepsia, the rational cure must be
looked for in an artificially digested
food, aud a food which will at the same
time aid the digestiou of other foods.
Such a preparation virtually rests the
tired digestive organs, thereby restor
ing them to their natural strength.
The Digestive Cordial, as prepared
by the Shakers of Mount Lebanon, is
just such a preparation, and a single
10 cent bottle will convince you of its
value. If your druggist doesn’t keep
it, lie will lie glad to get it thiough his

Tim's Miraculous Escape.
“We were rolling logs down a bluff
iuto the St. Johu river, below Grand
Falls,” said a lumberman to a reporter
for the Boston Standard. “The bluff
was about forty rods up from the river,
steep and worn pretty smooth by the
log tolling. A log started over the
brink would roll with a tremendous ve
locity d-iwti that sharp descent. To
ward the foot of the hill there was a
slight ridge, and now and then a log
would strike it and go bounding into
the air and land well out into the
river.
“It was a dry time that May and the
rolling logs made dusty work. 'The
dust was so thick sometimes that we
almost lost sight of the logs before they
reached the bottom. If a log was
started right it geuerally followed a
pretty straight course down the bluffi
but once in awhile a crooked one weut
slewing, or another would get advan
tage of the rollers and start off end
first, and so roll on a curve, and geu
erally reach the botton, hut get lodged.
Tim Field would then have to go down
aud dislodge it.
“Oue day a crooked log slewed and
lodged. Tim Field went down to
straighten it and send it on its course.
While ho was engaged thus two men
came along with a log. They stopped
at the brink aud waited for Tim to get
out of their way, halnnciug their log
with their ‘peevieß.’
“One of the poevies slipped and tho
great log started down the iuoline. The
men at the top cried loudly :
“ ‘Tim, oh, Tim ! Look out!
■ ** k There was uo time for the j oor fel-
low to jump aside, and no human
power could save him from being
crushed hy that huge descending log.
We stood, horror stricken, peering over
the edge of the bluff.
“Downward rolled the log, a cloud
of dust in its wake. For a dozen
tods it rolled, gaining velocity as it
descended, and then it suddenly struck
a rock or some obstruction and gave u
great hound over jl’im’s head, and stuck
to the ground below, whence it rolled
aud tumbled to the foot.
“Tim was untouched.
“Although wo rolled thousands of
logs down the same bluff. I never saw
a second one bound iuto the air like
that one. It seemed to us that the
hand of Providence had interfered.”

“I see according to recent statistics,
that marriages are decreasing rapidly
in number,” he said as he look at her
soulfully.
“Are they?” she ask, without much
show of interest.
“They are, according to the statis
tician, he replied. “I think there must
be something wrong with the present
social condition, don’t you ?”
“I don’t know, I haven’t given it any
thought,” she returned.
“Of course, it may be the effect of
the new woman,” he continued, “but 1
wouldn’t say so positively. Still, I
think it’s very much to be regretted,
don’t you?”
“I suppose so.”
“It doesn't just seem just right to
me. It seems as if the world was sort
of going wrong. The population is
increasing, but marriages are decreasing.
This is a state of affairs that threatens
great danger, and I think it is the duty
of every true hearted individual to do
what he or she can to change such con
ditions, don't you.
She had become interested by this
timo, and she straightened up and look
ed at him sharply.
“What are you driving at?” she ex
claimed. “What are you talking about
anyway?”
“Why, I—I—” he stammered.

rupted, “speak up like a man and do it,
and don’t go beating around the bush
and talking about tendencies of human
ity and all that. I’m a new woman
with a business training, aud I believe
in coming straight to tbo point. Are
you after me?”
