The negro buttoned up the coat, thrust
his handsln the pocket and felt the purse.
A peaceful smile played orer his face
when his touch disclosed to his mind the
contents of the pocket, but he choked
down his joy and inquired: ■
“Who did you say wore thlshyar coal?”
“Vy, Misder Jones vot owns the pank

“What yer gwine to askfer it?”
“D wendy dollars.”
“Dat’s pow’ful high price fur dis coat,

“Nebbor mind, I’ll keep de coat on,”

And since to love me you have doignod,
This motto will I take;
A life unsoUed, a soul unstained,
For my dear lady’s sake.
I care not for the world’s renown,
Yet count it guerdon sweet,
Could I but win its brightest crown
And lay it at her feet.
A sinless kingdom would I fain
Of my existence make.
Where she might never blu3h to reign
For my dear Indy’s sake.
Since all of good I have is hers,
I hold my lot most dear.
With spotless sword and stainless verse
To do her honor here;
That when onr dream of life be done,
Togethor we may wake.
And God nnito our souls in one,
For my dear lady's sake.

“How is that?”
“One favorite method was illustrated a

was that hundreds of amateur speculators

San Francisco Chronicle.
Last night, in a fashionable saloon on
Kearney street, two distinguished-looking
militiamen were recounting their numer
ous campaigns at Sacramento and San
Bruno, when a man with one sleeve of
bis coat empty lounged up to the bar. As
he did so be touched the elbow of one of
the bullion-bound warriors, and at once
apologized to the fierce military glare at
tached to him.
“Beg pardon,” said lie, “but I am al
ways kind of careless when any of tbe
boys In bluo are ’round. I used to bo one
myself.”
The warriors in blue and gold did not
deign to respond, but the stranger was
not on tho alert for any obvious sights.
“I lost this arm,” he continued, “at
Vicksburg. And this cough,” he added
as he shook on a spasm, “I got iu the
same place.”
“Rather a poor recompense, wasn’t it?”
asked one of the militiamen. “Couldn’t
you get anything bettei?”
“Yes,” said the wreck of humanity,
with a touch of genuine pride. “I got
this, too;” and ho threw back the lapel
of his rusty coat to exhibit a small medal.
As he unclasped it and handed it over
for inspection, he said: “I got it for being
tbe best dressed soldier in tbe Thirteenth
Army Corps at -MUllken’s Bend, before
the capture of Vicksburg. We had been
slashing around Vicksburg a whole
month, and for a change had gone up the
White river and taken Arkansas Post,
with 5,000 rebs. When we got back to
Vicksburg again we were a pretty tough
looking crowd. We were stationed in
swampy timber ground that every shower
used to make a slough of, and the fellows
were mud all over. The day before
Grant took command of MUllken’s Bend
we had orders to fix up for the occasion,
and it was given out that the best dressed
inau iu each regiment wonld get a medal.
We all went to work scrubbing and pol
ishing, but it was no use. A fellow
couldn’t rub the mud out ol his clothes,
and if he washed it out, the minute they
got half dry they looked as bad as ever.
Most of the fellows gave It up for a bad
job, but I’d made up my mind I was going
to get the medal. I had a pretty good
uniform, aud after I’d sowed it up on the
elbows and tacked the skirt of the coat
up it looked good enough, only for the
mud. It was about as good as any other
uniform in tbe corps, hut, of course, that
wouldn’t amount to nothing; I wanted it
to be better. What do you think I did?”
“Bought a now one I suppose,” said
tbe barkeeper.
The veteran smiled. “I went down
and stood up to my cbiu in tho Yazoo for
an hour before the parade. I’d burnished
up all the buttons and blackened my
shoes with a piece of burned leather and
pork fat, and when I walked up with my
wetsuit I just paralyzed the crowd. I
looked as if I’d come out of a bandbox
when I stack on my shoes and cap, and
threw my musket over my shoulder.”
■ “And you got the medal ?” said one
ol tbe militiamen, banding back the tro
phy.
“Yes, I got it, and more too. I got the
rlieumatiz and pneumonia. It was in
January, you know, and it set in to blow
from the west, and before the parade was
over, I was most froze to death. To fin
ish me, the Colonel was so tickled with
my appearance that I was detailed for or
derly duty at headquarters and had to
march around for four hours, until the
icicles were hanging out of my elbows and
coat tails, and do you know what Grant
said after the parade ?”
“What?”
“He remarked, with considerable feel
ing, ‘It’s a long time between drinks.’”
The barkeeper shoved three glasses over
the mahogany, and the militiamen both
put their hands in their pockets to pay.
“Yes, gentlemen,” said the veteran, as
he wiped his grizzly mustache on his coat
sleeve and edged toward the door. “I got
the metal, and don’t you forget it.”
“I shouldn’t wonder,” said the barkeep
er, as the veteran flitted through tbe door
way, “if that fellow Isn’t an eightcen-
carat fraud and lost his arm in a saw
mill.”
“You do him an injustice, I assure
you,” said a thoughtful but dilapidated
person, bending over the lunch counter.
“I recognize him as an Individual who

A Child Mysteriously Slabbed.
Xew York HtraU.
A boy, 8 years q]d, was murdered in a
most mysterious manner in Catharine
street, last nigbt. He was sitting on tbe
steps in front of tbe house in the rear of
No 00, in which his parents lived, and was
there stabbed in the breast by some un*
known person. Tbe child went in to bis
mother and complained tbat be _ was
wounded and felt sick. She took him to
the Oak Street station bouse and an
ambulauce -was telegraphed for. The
mother gave tho lad’s name to tho police
as James Donohoe. Dr. Kimbal, the am-
bulance physician f:om the Chambers
Street Hospital, probed the wound, bnt
could not at once decide to what extent
he had been injured. He removed tbe
little patient to tbe hospital, and
then it was discovered that he was
seriously hurt. In the station bouse the
lad looked very ill and vomited so much
that the police were alarmed. They sent
detectives to the honse in Catherine street
to ascertain the facts in the case, but up
to a late hour last night they had arrived
at nothing conclusive. It was 10:30
o’clock when tho boy was brought to tho
station house; at midnight he died. Dr.
McCosli, the physician In charge at the
hospital, said that, in his opinion, young
Donohue was stabbed with some long,
fine instrument, very pointed, and proba
bly not thicker at the end than tho wire
of a paper file. The Donohue family
moved from Mott street to Catherine
street only threo days ago. Young Don
ohue was a remarkaUy bright little lellow
for his years, and had given evidence of
character. In the police station he re
fused to say how he was hurt or by
whom, and even in tbe hospital, daring
ills last moments, he maintained the same
stolid reticence. When the news of his
death reached his home the scene that en
sued was very painful. The women of his
family rushed around wildly accusing
every one in tbe place of the calamity that
bad come on them, being utterly beside
themselves with grief. It was suspected
tbat tbe child bad bean killed by a woman
iu a lit of venomous rage, and tbo
nature of tbe wound fully sustained the
Idea. The matter for the present is
wrapped in an apparently impenetrable
cloud of darkness, and it is doubtfnl
whether the police will b8 able to push
their way to the light. Three detectives
were ordered by Captain Lyman to re
main on duty at the house all night, and
other officers were sent to the house in
Mott street, in which, tbe family lived re
cently. Such an occurrence in so densely
populated a neighborhood would naturally
create a good deal of excitement at the
moment, aud such was the case in Cath
erine street. Captain Tynan was of the
opiuiou tbat as soon as this cooled down
he would be able to get at some of the de
tails. He thought tbe boy’s manner most
puurcal, and tbat it meant more than ap
peared ou tbe surface.

Lafayette (Ind.) Sunday Times.
In the early history of Lafayette car*
playing was more than an amusement—
with a good many men it was “business.”
The rounder of Lafayette, “Old” Digby,
was for many years the most noted card
player on tbe Wabasb. There are many
aneedates of him that have been handed
d'jwn aud are worth preserving.
If the old settlors are to be believed,
“Old Dig” and the late Judge Pettit had
many a lively tussle at tbe card table.

the husband, was noticed walking slowly
down the opposite side of the avenuo. Po
liceman Delaney, to whom he was point

dazed when told that his wife was dead.
He told the policeman that he had left his
wife in bed at about 5 o’clock in the morn

but he had refused. He then went out,

A PICNIC.
A Holiday Tinged With Romanes.
Foksytb, May 2 —It Is a time-honored
custom for the young peoplo of Forsyth,
Barnesviilc, and Griffin, aud the sur
rounding counties, to meet and havo a
picuic at the High Falls every year, on
tbo 1st of May, but as the first came on
Sunday this year, Saturday last was the
time appointed for the picnic, and quite a
number of young people went from For
syth. Barnesvillo and Griffin were also
well represented, aud all had a delightful
time.
This is one of the finest water powers
iu the State, and is capablo of nmuingany
amount of machinery to which water
could be applied, at comparatively small
expense, as nature has formed dams of
solid rock. There are at present a mer
chant mill, wool-carding factory, and cot
ton ginnery.
The High Falls Is one of tho natural
wonders of Georgia—situated in Monroe
county, twelve mues north ol Forsyth, on
the Towaliga nver. The river is about
one hundred and fifty yards wide above
the falls, and is spanued by a nice bridge.
There is a succession of falls and rapids
above the main falls, which are 76 or 100
feet high. On either side of the river are
sleep hills covered with dense forests and
rocks, and, altogether, the scenery at this
season is grand, picturesque and beautiful.
There are many interesting legends con
nected with this place, and if those silent
rocks could speak, they could tell many
a iove-sick story. This calls to mind a
romantic event which once occurred at
these falls. Among the gay crowd who
had gathered there at one of the annual
picnics, were a youth and maiden. The
girl was the daughter of a wealthy plan
ter, the youth was a farmer’s eon, un
known to fortune and to fame, who had
wooed and won the maiden, but tho
disparity of their circumstances had
proved an unsurmounlable barrier to the
consummation of their fondest dreams.
Although her father was Importuned
time and again to give his consent, it was
to no purpose. The old gentleman was
immutable, and as the last resort they
agreed to elope. The time and place was
tho 1st of May at “the High Falls,” and
on that day, having procured license and
tho services of a minister, tbe young man
went according to appointment to claim
his prize. The ceremony which
united “two hearts that beat as one”
was performed there by‘the minister,
in that romantic place. Twenty years
have passed since then, and the enterprise
and pluck which could foil a vigilant
parent and face ao angry father won both
fame and fortune in after years, and to
day that old man has no son nor son-in-
law of whom ho is more proud.
The war came a few months after they
were married. Tbe youHg man went aud
was a gallant soldier. After tits war, be
engaged in agricultural pursuits aud has
been very successful, and his beautiful
home is surrounded by all that heart
could wish and is graced by the presence
of two lovely and accomplished young
ladles. C.

The Ferryboat Disaster.
Xew York San.
Mr. Will Long, who was one of the
passengers on the ferryboat which sunk
in Fox river, Elgin, Ill., yesterday and
many lives lost, says: “About twenty-
five persons were in the boat. The bot
tom was full of water up to tbe floor, aud
1 said to Sullivan and Murphy, who were
running the boat, ‘For God’s sake, meD,
bail her out before we go.’ But they
paid no atteution to mo. When we bad
reached tbe middle of the stream the boat
began to take water. The passengers
seemed to lose all control of themselves,
and rushed from one end of the boat to
the other. This caused the boat to take
more water. I tried to get the people to
stand still, but they wouldn't. Then tbe
boat sunk, and tbe first wave tbat
swept over her, with the swift
current, carried the Lightened people
away. I clung to tho seat, and
a long clothesline, one end of which
was fastened to the boat, was within
reach. Seeing a little girl floating aloDg
several rods below, I swam to her, ana
pulled myself along with her back to tho
boat, which still bung to the cable by the
guy rope. I again caught hold of the
scat, when tho force of the current against
my body tore it loose, and tbe little girl,
Bertha Kahn, aud myself floated away on
the stream. All about me were men and
women struggling in tho waters. Some
of them could swim and others sunk and
rose every minute or two. Several rods
in front of us was a little girl named
Emma Berrlnger. She sunk several
times, but I was unable to reach her. A
great crowd of people soon gathered on
the shores, and wo could hear them
shouting to us to bear up a little longer.
Then boats came over from the shore
and began gathering up the exhausted
swimmers. A boat came to where my
self and the little R&hn girl were floating.
As the oarsman was about to take bold
of us I said: ‘Save the Berringer girl
ahead of us. We can hold out a little
longer.’ The man did so, and another
boat came to my rescue aud saved the
little girl aud me.”
Thirty Thousand Forgotten,
Leddville Chronicle.
On last Saturday morning Judge Tank-
ersley, of this city and Denver, started for
New York on an errand which entails a
story of perhaps the most remarkable ab
sent-mindedness on record.
In the early days of tho camp the Judge
was one of those who struck it rich, and
his fortune could not have amounted in
good hard dollars to lass than $160,000.
In those days the Judge had extenalve
business relations la the East, and, for
convenience of storing papers and cash,
rented safe deposit boxes in New York,
Chicago and St. Louis, aud later one at
Denver. During the last year, when tho
tide of fortune bad turned somewhat
against him, the Judge, io endeavoring to
balance his funds, was utterly unable to
account for a large sum of money. The
more lie figured tbe more deeply intricate
the problem became, and he finally gave
up in despair, crediting $30,000 vaguely to
profit and losses.
Last fall, happening Into the office of
the Safe Deposit Company at Denver, he
was informed tbat be was delinquent for
three years’ rent on one of the boxes.
“But,” Mid the clerk, “we hare you
credited with $160 on our books.’’ it » -
Judge Tankersley had forgotten all
about the matter, but paying for the box
had It opeued, in tho vain hope of finding
some money Inside. ' Tbe box was empty.
The circumstance, however, suggested to
him tbat he might possibly have left funds
in some iff she Eastern boxes, and for the
express purpose of examining them he
went to New York, Chicago and St- Lou
is. Three of the boxes were broken open,
as the combinations had been lost, an*
all were empty. Disappointed, lie re
turned home and thought no more of tho
matter until last wee it lu waa looking

tit. Iu those days every lawyer kept a
horse to ride the circuit. “I can go with
out nay dinner,” the Judge continued,
“but I am not going to abuse my hone
fust to accommodate you at this game.”
Pettit retired withDigby’s $70 iu his pock*
et. The next morning, bright and early,
they were at it again. Digby had s big
streak of luck, and before 12 o’clock haa
bagged $120 of Pettit’s money. Raking
from tbe table the last $10 put un, he an

“Well, John, If I haven’t got auy horse,”

“Pve got the money to buy enri” The
game was closed.
Digby, who was a bachelor, had a
small one-story framehouse put upon Main
street, close to where the canal now is, as
an office and sleeping apartment. After
it was finished, but tbe plastering not suf

exhausted and Pettit declared, tbe game,
closed. Digby proposed one more gamo
staking his new house against a certain
sum of money. The game was played,
and Pettit was tbe winner. The next
morning he made a bargain with a house-
mover to remove the building to a lot

a little east of the public square. The wood
