Fearful Experience— Her Hind limellled and Her Hair Turned White. Baltimore American. Strange things happen back on the mountains, and the half of the curious occurrences are never told. The writer a few weeks since spent several days deer hunting on the mountains. Game was scarce, but the party was a lively one, and we had a good time. A stormy night com pelled the party to stop at a farm house and ask shelter. A typical, hospita ble Southern Colonel asked ns to re main and make ourselves at home. Among the largo family gathered at the supper table the writer was par ticular impressed by a strango-looking woman who sat at the lower end of the table and was not introduced by the Colonel and had nothing to say. Her face was thin and haggard, and wore an expression of settlod melan choly distressing to behold. Her hair was snow white. After ten a niece of the straage-looking woman,with whom the writer engaged in conversation, told him the following thrilling story of her aunt’s fearful experieuce, which had affected her mind and whitened her bnir whon she was but uiueteen years old: Bessie Knowliug had been invited to spend the Christmas holidays with an aunt living aboat ten miles from Harper’s Ferry. Sho accepted the invitation, and in due time arrived at her destination, where she was warm ly welcomed. Several other guests hod arrived a week previous to my aunt, so that/he house was literally packed,' len.v^| ; 'Tio ■'‘BccornmodafToD for another visitor. On the lawn, a short distance from the mansion, had been built a one-room cabin. It bad been comfortably furnished by the hostess in anticipation of nn emer gency of the present character. The hostess stated to her niece that she would be obliged to place her tem porarily in this cabin unless she ob jected to tho arrangement. My aunt was naturally of a bold, adventurous disposition, and lacked the nntural timidity of most girls, so that she quietly agreed to the plan. Tired out with her trip, she told her aunt that site would like to retire early, so a lire was built on the cabin hearth and everything made comfortable for the night. My aunt was accompanied by her hostess to tho cabiu, and before sho retired sat with her for some time talking over family affairs. As she started to leave she discovered that the bolt had been broken off the door, necessitating her locking tho door on the outside to keep every thing secure. This she did after bid ding her niece an nffeciicsatc good night. Aunt Bess, after sitting by the fire for sometime, became un easy anti nervous, nn apparent pre monition of what was about to occur disturbing her. Sho finally disrobed, and after replenishing the fire retired. She tossed about uneasily for awhile, and then fell into it fitful, lestless slumber. She awoke several hours later with a violent start, the same uncanny instinct warning her of the close proximity of some dread object. The fire was bmning low on the hearth, and, as tho night wns intense ly cold, tho cabin was slowly getting chiller. It wns near daylight, but sho still felt that horrible dread, as of ap proaching calamity. She listened for sometime, when she beard something move once twice under the bed. She nearly fainted from fright, bnt having reassured herself into the belief that several thou.ao : oi,i exoi, TO iub!e for j>t wfts merely n dog, tamed over to vipi'ini; p»rww to pic nnder oarpiti, etc., for >a!e J go to sleep. Suddenly tho bed moved, this office. J accompanied by a loud yawn. Sho hundred. Apply at was nearly overcome ns Bbe realized that the strange inmate was not, as she bad imagined, a dog, bnt must be a man. She lay in constant dread for several minutes, not daring to stir for fear of betraying her presence, but finally decided to make a sudden dash and gain the door aud liberty. She was on tho point of putting her resolve into execution, when she sud denly remembered that the door was locked on the outside, and that she was practically a prisoner aud at the mercy of an unknown intruder. She laid quietly in bed, moving neither band nor foot, the horror of the situ ation steadily increasing, till she fear ed she would loso her reason. The seconds and minutes dragged their agonizing length along, till the first streak cf daylight appeared. The monster several times during these awful hours raised the bed, causing its occupant to experience untold agony of apprehension. Finally, the object crawled out from under the bed. It proved to' be a man clothed in tatters, with the frag ments of heavy shaokles banging to bis wrists and ankles. The hair and beard of the visitor were tangled and ankempt, the former hanging' below his shoulders. The brute stretched his full length out by the fire, and, giving u grunt of satisfaction, fell into a deep sleep. The occupant of the bed, realizing that at daybreak she would inevitably be discovered, cast her eyes wildly aroand for a biding place. The heavily curtained recess in one of the windows caught her eye, and she instantly resolved to reach it. Raising herself quietly on her hands she crept noialessIy-Trtm un!rer Thi bed, und reached the window in safe ty. From this point of vantage she looked with agonizing dread on the sleeping brute. Overcome with fa" tiguo and fear, she wns almost in the act of sinking to the floor, when she snddooly became awaro of the baying of hounds, and the rapid hoof beats of galloping horses. They approach ed nearer and nearer, till she could extinguish the excited voices of the riders. She realized suddenly that they wore on the track of the strauge intruder, and silently prayed for im mediate saccor. The voices died away in the distance, grew loud er and tbeu sunk fainter, the alternate conflict of hope and fear almost ren dering her frantic. They again ap proached closer till they seemed to be just outside of tho cabin door. While listening she had uncon sciously dropped the curtain folds from her face, and suddenly glancing in the direction of the fugitive, she saw that be also had been awakened by the confusion, and hav ing risen to his feet, was glaring at bfcr face with an expression that left no doabt as to bis madness. For a moment she'gazed fixedly into bis eyes, and then made an involuntary movement toward the door. The spell which held the manic wns broken, and he sprang toward her with a wild snarl. The uufortun&te lady gave a scream of despair and sank senseless tho floor. As she sank into uncon sciousness sho became dimly aware of a bursting crash and terrific straggle around about her. When she came to she was lying in her aunt's resi- didence surrounded by weepiDg rela tives. The terrible shock incident to the night of horror resnlted in an ag- gruted attack of brain fever, tho ef fect of which was to unsettle her rea‘ son. The strangest part of the story is that daring her illness her hair, which was of a chestnut t.-nge, began to change its color, and ultimately became white. The mauiuc whs tho son of a neighbor and was mad from birth. He was considered so danger- ons as to cause his being chained. The night my aunt arrived at her des tination be had broken bis chains and made his escape. HU friends, who made the discovery shortly after it happened, scoured a blood-bound and started on his trail. They traced him to the cabin, and had sent a servant for the key, whon my aunt's screams told its own story and caused them to break the door down and overpower the madman. HE IS GOING TO GET EVEN. Detroit Free Prete. He got a letter out of the postoffioe yesterday, which was hurriedly read and indignantly flung on the floor. On second thought be picked it up and placed it in his pooket, but be was still red iu the face, when he queried; “From your tailor?” "I wish it was,” was the reply- “No, it’s blackmail.” “How ?” “Why, it’s from a friend who got married a few years ago. I had an invite to his wedding, and I bad to take a present costing twenty-five dol lars.” “Of course.” “Then his first anniversary occur red, and it cost me twenty more'” “I’ve been there, old fel.” “Then he hnd n boy born and our set had to whack up on that I guess he named that onb after at least thir ty of ns.” “I see.” “Then came bis birthday. Then his wife’s birthday. Then the second anniversary. Then the cab’s birth day." "‘•Exaotly. And now ?” “Well, his motber-in-law has come to live witn him, and this is an invi tation to come and leave a soven-dol lur rocking oliair on her sixty-fifth birthday.” “Andyou’ll go?” “I'll havo to or be ruled out of our sot, but I'll hove revenge. There’s seven of us in our family, and I’ll be hanged if wo don’t go at it aud hold an anniversary or something or other every two weeks for the noxt ten years.” The best time to water a horse is an hour before or an hoar after eat ing. If watered immediately before eating the temperature of the stomach is lowered beyond the digestive point, and the food is not acted upon till the temperature gets bnck to where it ought to be. Soppose bis master takes him to the watering trough im mediately ufter eating and bis stom ach is full of food and he drinks a pail or two pails of water ? The con sequence is that a portion of the food is forced out of the stomach and is swept along into the larger intestines without ussimilation. In France Borne years ago I saw some horses that were going to be killed. They were fed course beans, and immediately after were allowed to drink all tho water they would, and were then killed and dissected, and some of these beans were found six feet distant from the stomach itself in the intestines. “You are u good-for-nothing, lazy boy,” said a Boston mother to her 10' ynar-old son, who refused to relin quish readiog a classical work to carry up a scuttle of coal from tho cellar. “Why, mother, I deny your allega tion iu toto," he replied, with the dig nity of a professor. Your assertion is not only ahnorminally absurd, bat merely constitutionally inert. Whether the world goes round or not, it is certain that that part of the world situated iu Europe has its rev olutions often euougb. A PRIVATE IN THE REG CLAR ABNY. Chicago Tribune. I would not advise a young man to enter the army. I tell my boys to get a bit of land, make homes for themselves, and settle down to regu lar, honest farmers rather than follow a soldier’s life; and eo I would advise others. To be tossed about from pillar to post and never have any set tled home is the fate of all soldiers, and this is one of the great disadvan tages of the army. We never know to-day where we will be to-morrow. We are constantly expeetiug orders, and often separated from our families for months and even years at a time. There is an nnrest, a constant expec tation of disagreeable orders, a lack of home and home interests, that to most men is intensely disagreeable. No man in the army is for one mo ment his own master; he is continu ally snbjeet to the orders of superiors. One says go, and he goetb; nootner come, and be comety; no matter bow great the distance, how long it may keep him, what reasons be may have for remaining at home—a sick wife or obild is hardly an exaase for delaying to obey an order, and even when sick himself the soldier will often go on daty. If he were a eitizen ho would go to bed, bnt as a soldier there is a pride about doing his daty which oauses him tp up and away. IN THE GRIP OF DEATH. Hventowu Md. Glob*. Thursday night of last week a bal last train on the Shenandoah Valley railroad, went throngh a trestle near Bnebannan, Va., tho accident being eaased by the heavy rain storm and the consequent weakening of the tres tle. Fonr men were killed. When tho train went down one of the work men bad bis foot caaght under the engine in snoh a way as to make it impossible to release him quiokly. It was noticed that the stream into which the train bad fallen was rapid ly rising, and while one of the men went for a physician the others vain ly renewed their efforts to save their companion. When tho physician ar rived it was seen that the only hope of saving the man’s life was by ampu tating bis limb; bnt, notwithstanding tbo entreaties of his friends and a certainty of a dreadful death, the im prisoned man refused to submit to that operation. He said ho woald rather die. Tbo water finaly arose up so high that the man bad to bo held up by a companion to koep him from drowning. The doctor bad all the necessary instruments for amputa tion. Tbo other men implored their companion to save his life by a sacri fice of bi» limb, bnt he resolutely re fused to submit. The water came to his shoulders, bis Deck, his chin. When the water was even with his month the resolute man weakened. As ho uttered the words “cut it off,” the water bubbled over bis mouth. It was then too late. He was drowned. A fate like this is seldom witnessed. The hearts of the stout men present bled in sympathy. We never regret the kind words we have spoken, nor tbo retorts wo bavs left unsaid; bat bitterly do wa recall sharp words spoken angrily, and un kind actions that may have caused tears fo come to tho eyes that will never shed them more. An exchange says: “If 32,900,000 women should clasp bands, they (bold reach around the globe ” And bow the news could ull bo circulated then The depression of the (ami trade in South Wales is so serious that over 40,000 men are affected by it.
