The Wisconsin man rode out bet wees
two great cavalry forces—Union and

force, and after a Land to hand saber
fight, lasting fully ten mirutes, cap

him until he became unconscious.
On recovering he heard a strange
noise at a little distance as if

It was the tigress herself. He
turned slowly round and gave a
furtive glance in that direction.
He could hardly believe his eyes.
There was the tigress si unking off

her legs and sneezing most
violently and making the most

The Last Slave Auction.
The last great slave auction
held in th s country occurred just
a year and a half b**tV>|p the war—
viz., in October, 1859—at the *’ace
track 'li Savannah. The slaves
were the property of Pierce But

Mease, but ho inherited a fortune
in lands and slaves from his grand
father, Major Pierce Butler,
South Carolina, on condition that
he should take the latter's name
Butler's inveterate passion for
gambling got him into financia
difficulties. It is said that he lost
$26,000 in a single hand—four
deuces against four kings held by
by his opponent.
Finally, to meet his losses, But

The sale took two days and nettec
$303,850. Butler had chosen
good time to sell. A year later
his negroes would not have been
worth a dollar a head. But the
sale would have been more profit
able had it not been announced as
one of its conditions that no di
vision of families would be per
mitted. Hence, in order to secure
a good slave, buyers often had to
take with him infirm or aged rela
tives. Out of this limitation grew
a memorable tragedy. Tom Pate,
a well known Vicksburg trader,
bought at the sale a man, his two
sisters, and his wife, with the
guarantee that they should not
be separated.
Disregarding this, Pate sold the
sisters, one to Pat Somers,

Women as Buyers.
Women do ranch of the buying
these days, and women, whether
they read the papers or not, have
learned to go to the advertising
culmnns to determine where to do
their shopping. It saves them
much time, and women hive
learned to be economical of time
as well as of money. They are
good buyers and are not nearly so
quickly fooled in trade as men.
Before starting out for the day
they like to plan their round for
visitation. A man sticks usually
to one place; but a woman goes
where she believes she is likely to
get the best bargain. There i9 no
bond of friendship or club mem
bership, as in the case of men,
to hold her to any particular
places. She looks out for bar
gains and hunts thew as the news

DOOLITTLE’S LITTLE JOKE.
Bow
HU
He Conferred m Honor Upon
Friend, Senator Fessenden.
The old senator was a great story
teller and related many interesting and
humorous accounts of what he had seen
in public life. One of his favorite sto
ries was at the expense of Senator Fes
senden. a warm personal friend. The
judge and Senator Feasenden had been
appointed on a commission, with several
others, to treat with the various chiefs
of the Sioux Nation on an important' In
dian question of the day. It was long
before railways had been introduced
into the far west, and the members of
the commission had to travel on horse
back. Judge Doolittle was chairman of
the commission, but at the conference
shifted that duty to the shoulders of
Seliator Fessenden. The latter was high
ly pleased at the honor conferred on him
and much*‘puffed up** in consequence.
The judge had method in his madness,
however, for he had heard of the pe
culiar reception tendered by the Indiana
to the spokesman of any party of visit
ing whites.
At the appointed time the two parties
to the conference congregated. There
were probably 200 Indian chiefs present,
with their wivea Senator Fessenden
Advanced to do the honors for the com
missioners, when, to his dismay, the
whole body of Indians, squaws and all,
advanced and, after embracing the
chairman, gave him, according to theii
custom, a welcoming kiss. Judge Doo
little often said he thought that Fessen

FINALLY HEART TROUBLE.
Restored to Health by Dr. Miles* Nerving,
M B. EDWARb HABDY. the jolly man
ager of Sheppard Co’s, great store at
Braceville, Ill., writes: "I had never
been sick a day In my life until In 1890. I
got so bad with nervous prostration that I
had to give up and commence to doctor. I
tried our local physicians and one in Joliet,
but none gave me any relief and I thought
I was going to die. I became despondent
and suffered untold agony. I could not eat,
sleep nor rest, and It seemed as if I could
not exist. At the end of six months I was
reduced to but a shadow of myself, and at
last my heart became affected and I was
truly miserable. I took six or eight bottles
of Dr. Miles* Nervine. It gave me relief
from the start, and at last a cure, the great
est blessing of my life."

Bismarck’s Apt Response.
Apple Tree,
The American Cultivator says that
the original greening apple tree is still
standing on the farm of Solomon
Browne at Mount Hygeia in North
foster, R. L The tree was a very old
one when the farm was sold in 1S01.
The seller informed the purchaser that
lit was a pity the old tree was going
into decay, as it produced the best fruit
of any tree in the orchard. The pur
chaser determined to see how long he
could keep it alive, and it still survives,
after almost another century has been
added to its venerable years. But it
shows signs cf final decay, and* the par
ent of afl the famous Rhode island
greenings, which has set its grafts on
Hie orchards of almost all the world,
will soon be but a neighborhood memo
ry. It is doubtful if there is a more fa

Th© difference between a horse
and the man who rides him:
A few years ago, Bismarck who
was greatly shaken in health,
seriously made up his mind to re
tire. He had placed his resigna
tion in the hands of the emperor,
but the aged monarch returned it
to him in a few minutes, without
a single word for answer.
“Never!”
Yieldin to the urgent wish of
his master he remained iu office.
At the first audience afterward his
majesty said;-
“I cannot under.-land why you
want to retire. Here I am, much
older than you, but still mount
my horse. “Just so, sir, that’s
the rule,” replied Bismarck.
“The rider always holds out much
longer than his horse.”
