TOE VOICE IN THE DARK,
A Memory of Pickett's Brigade and a
Night Attack.
Some years after the civil war a
gathering of veterans of both sides
was exchanging reminiscences at a
banquet given by the board of trade
of New York, writes Mrs. La Salle
Corbel! Pickett in Lippincott’s.
The presiding officer was Colonel
J. J. Phillips of the Ninth Virginia
regiment, Pickett’s division. He
was speaking of night attacks and
recalled one in particular, not be
cause of its startling horrors, but
because of a peculiar circumstance,
almost resulting in the compulsory
disobedience of orders —the obey
ing, as it were, of a higher com
mand than that of earth.
“The point of attack had been
carefully selected,” said Colonel
Phillips, “the awaited dark night
had arrived, and my command was
to fire when General Pickett should
signal the order.
“There was that dread, indescrib
able stillness, that weird, ominous
sience, that always settles over
everything before a fight. You felt
that nowhere in the universe was
there any voice or motion.
“Suddenly the awesome silence
was broken by the sound of a deep,
full voice rolling over the black
void like the billows of a great sea,
directly in line with our guns. It
was singii. ' the old hymn, 'Jesus,
Lover of My Soul.’
“I have heard that grand old
music many times in circumstances
which intensified its impressive
ness, but never had it scorned so
solemn as when it broke the still
ness in which we waited for the or
der to fire. Just as it was given
there rang through the night the
words:
“Cover my defenseless head
With the nha< w of thy wing.
“‘Heady! Aim! Fire to the
left, boys!’ I said.
“The guns were shifted, the vol
lev that blazed out swerved aside,
and that defenseless head was ‘cov
-1 ered’ with the shadow of his wing.”
1 A Federal veteran who had been
• listening looked up suddenly and
I said:
l “I remember that night, colonel,
. and that midnight attack which
. carried off so many of my comrades.
, I was the singer.”
There was a second of silence.
1 Then “Jesus, Lover of My Soul,”
1 rang across that banquet board as
’ on that black night in 1864 it had
) rung across the lines at Bermuda
; Hundred.
Rossini’s Resting Place.
’ For years Rossini’s body rested
I in Pero Lachaise, and then city
• of Florence asked that it might be
I transferred to the Church of the
) Holy Cross in that city, where the
( bodies of Galilei, Michelangelo,
. Machiavelli, Alfleri and other great
Italians are entombed. Consent
’ was received from the municipality,
1 but the master’s widow, Dona
Olympia, would consent to the
) translation only on condition that
) when her time came her body
might be placed next to that of her
; husband. This request was bluntly
denied, for the reason that only
; Italians “who hud achieved great
i ness” could rest there. In 1878 the
widow died and before her death
consented in writing to the removal
of her husband’s body to Florence,
provided her body be placed in the
• grave from which his would be tak-
en in Pero Lachaise, and after a
long time for consideration this
was done.
Yearning For Light.
"When it comes to consuming
gas in large quantities blind people
can beat their seeing brethren all
hollow,” said an inspector of the
gas company. “I know two fami
lies where both husband and wife
are blind. Every jet is turned on
full tilt in their homes at night and
is kept going at that rate clear up
to 12 o’clock. Light nnd darkness!
are all the same to the afflicted
ones, but they insist upon illumine-j
tion brilliant enough for a recep
tion. And that partiality for light
is not a whim peculiar to those two
couples. Most blind people feel
that way. They demand the light,
and in all private homes and insti
tutions where the blind are cared
for the gas bills vouch for the
strange fancy.” —Exchange.
Mary’s Wedding.
A Maryland man recently mar
ried off kis fourth daughter, the
ceremonies touching whose wedding
were given much attention by the
“society editors” of the country pa
pers in that region.
A week or two after the wedding
a friend wbv had been north for
acme time met the father, to whom
he made some jocular reference in
! regard to the recent “event.” “I
see by one paper,” said he, “that
i Mary’s wedding ‘well nigh beggared
deecr ption.’ ’’
“Well.** said the old man. “I don’t
knov. about that, but I do know it
wall nigh beggared me'”—Lippin

TRICK SHOOTING.
The Way Some of the Stage Feata Are
Accomplished.
When a champion rifle shot fires
blindfolded at a wedding ring or a
penny held between his wife’s
thumb and finger or seated back to
her shoots, by means of a mirror, at
an apple upon her head or on a
fork held in her teeth, the danger
of using a bullet is obvious. None,
of course, is needed. The explo
sion is enough. The apple is al
ready prepared, having been cut
into pieces and stuck together with
an adhesive substance, and a thread
with a knot at the end, pulled
through it from the “wings,” so
that it flies to bits when the gun is
fired, is “how it is done.”
Generally the more dangerous a
feat appears the more carefully is
all danger guarded against. In the
“William Tell” act the thread is
often tied to the assistant’s foot.
When, again, the ash is shot off a
cigar which the assistant is smok
ing a piece of wire is pushed by his
tongue through a hollow passage in
the cigar, thus thrusting off the ash
at the moment of firing.
A favorite but simple trick is the
shooting from some distance at an
orange held in a lady’s hand. Great
applause is invariably forthcoming
when the bullet drops out on her
cutting open the fruit. It is insert
ed by hand earlier in the evening.
Another popular trick is that of
snuffing out lighted candles. Half
a dozen are placed in front of a
screen, in which as many small
holes are bored, one against each
candle wick. At the moment of
firing a confederate behind the
screen sharply blows out each can
dle with a pair of bellows.
Tn most instances where a ball or
other object has to be broken on a
living person’s head blank car
tridge is used and the effect pro
duced by other means. A special
wig with a spring concealed in it
worked by a wire under the clothes
is generally used, the confederate
manipulating the spring simulta
neously with the firing of the rifle.
As the ball is of extremely thin
glass, a mere touch suffices to shat
ter it.
In these exhibitions some of the
rifle “experts” invite gentlemen
from the audience to testify that
the weapon is indeed loaded. The
1 cartridge shown looks very well, but
, it is a shell of thin wax blackened
to resemble a leaden bullet. It
would not hurt a fly.—London Tit-
Bits.
Didn’t Suit Washington.
Until the early part of the last
i century Milford, Conn., had a house
, in which Washington was said to
, have spent a night. It was in 1789,
, when Washington made a tour of
New England. Tradition says that
■ there were certain things about his
stay at the Milford tavern which he
did not enjoy. The supper set be-
’ fore him consisted of boiled meat
i nnd potatoes. He was not pleased
■ with the meal and asked for a bowl
, of bread and milk. The landlord
. brought the new order and a broken
pewter spoon with which to eat it.
“Have you no better spoons than
this?” asked General Washington.
, “It’s the best I have in the house,
sir,” replied the host.
“Send me the servant,” said his
excellency. “Here’s 2 shillings. Go
’ to the minister’s and borrow a sil
ver spoon.”
Tradition does not add whether
he got the spoon or not. Ex
change.
Caught.
In Philadelphia they tell a story
of a man whose wife had arranged
an “authors’ evening” and persuad
ed her reluctant husband to remain
at home and help her receive the
fifty guests who were asked to par
ticipate in this intellectual feast.
The first author was dull enough,
but the second was worse. More
! over, the rooms were intolerably
warm. So, on pretense of letting
in some cool air, the unfortunate
host escaped to the hall, where he
found a servant comfortably asleep
on the settee.
“Wake up!” sternly commanded
the Philadelphian in the man's ear.
“Wake up, I say! You must have
been listening at the keyhole!”—

How SenolooHo Bury Their Dead.
Seminoles bury their dead on top
of the ground after wrapping them
in blankets, but always leave the top
of the head exposed. They build a

it with earth. When his squaw dies j
■ the husband wears his shirt until it i
rots off, which is not strikingly dis-1
tinctive. When tie husband dies i

WATERMARKS.
Th ay Ar* Stamped In the Paper by
Patterns of Wire.
The discovery of the watermark
was the result of an accident, prob
ably a thousand years ago. Parch
ment was then made of vegetable
pulp, which was poured in a liquid
state into a sieve. The water drip
ped out from below, and the thin
layer of pulp that remained was
pressed and dried. When dry it
was found to bear upon it the
marks of the fiber that composed
the bottom of the sieve.
These fibers seem to have been
twisted reeds, and the mark they
left on the parchment took the
form of wide lines running across
and across diagonally. In those
days the watermark was regarded
as a blemish since the fiber was
thick and coarse and the deep im
pression made on the paper proved
a drawb kin writing.
The quill of the scribe found
many a yawning gap to cross on
the surface of the manuscript —
“switchback scripture” it has been
termed. But when wire was sub
stituted for fiber in |jie sieve, says
a writer in the Denver Republican,
the lines of the watermark grew
thinner and less conspicuous.
The possibilities of the useful
ness of the watermark became ap
parent by degrees. It was first
found to be of service in preventing
the forgery of books and manu
scripts. Many a bogus copy of a
rare work has been detected be
cause the counterfeiter failed to
take into account the watermarks
of the original.
The watermark of many a pre
cious manuscript in the world’s mu
seums is alike its glory and its
safeguard. And in the sphere of
bank notes and paper money every
where the watermark is most use
ful in protecting the notes from
imitation.
The term “watermark” is in re
ality a misnomer since the mark
is actually produced by wire. Wire
is fashioned into the desired pat
tern, figure or lettering. This is
inserted beneath the sheet in the
last stages of its manufacture and
while the paper is still capable of
receiving the impression, and the
wire device stamps itself into the
sheet.
Ordinary note paper held up to
the light reveals hundreds of par
allel lines running up and down,
betraying the fact that the paper
was made on a wire foundation.
To this the paper owes its smooth
ness and its even texture.
Th* Welah Not*.
Here Is what the Rev. John
Evans tells us in reference to the
way in which English was taught
in Wales in the eighteenth century:
“This school had several features
unknown in the Welsh school of to
day. The Welsh note was one in
dispensable feature. This secured
English conversation. It was a
smooth piece of wood, like a flat
inch rule, with the letters ‘W. N.’
carved on it. When any one was
caught speaking Welsh the Welsh
note was immediately handed to
him, but the hand which held it at
the end of the lesson was the one
made to tingle in consequence, so
it was a common occurrence for the
child who had it to move about
from pew to pew, craftily tempting
others to speak Welsh. This sign
of guilt therefore often changed
hands until at last it rested in that
which had to bear the burden of all
the transgressions of that law.”
An Indefinite Numbar.
Three-year-old Andrew was in a
rather petulant mood, and in order
to restore his customary good hu
mor his mother promised him some
preserved strawberries if he would
be a good boy. Calling a servant,
she said:
“Jennie, please give Andrew
about four strawberries.”
Jennie proceeded to fulfill the
wish of her mistress and counted
out the berries, “One, two, three,
four.”
“I want five,” protested the child.
“But your mother said four,"
said Jennie.
“Mamma said ‘about four,’ ” re
plied Andrew.
And he got the fifth.—New York

writer in the Philadelphia Public
Ledger, some men were discussing
the merits of different kinds of
E‘ me birds. One preferred canvas

' still another thought a quail the
most delicious article of food. The
discussion and the dinner ended at
about the same time.
“Now. Frank.” said one of the
men to the waiter at hie elbow,

"Well, anh. to tell the truf, al

A DIAMOND STORY.
The Way a Russian Princess Disposes
of Her Jewels.
A few years ago Ludwig Nissen,
a well known wholesale dealer of
the Maiden lane district, was in the
office of a diamond merchant in
London when a stranger came in
and offered an unusually beautiful
stone for sale. The Englishman
did not care to buy. But Nissen
thought he saw a bargain. But he
was not willing to buy until he
learned who owned the stone and
where it had come from. The man
said he represented a friend, a wo
man, who did not care to have her
name disclosed. The American was
firm. If he could not learn the
owner’s name he would not buy.
The stranger said he would see the
woman and talk the matter over
with her.
The next day he came back and
took Mr. Nissen to the woman’s
home. She lived in a handsome
apartment in one of the most fash
ionable quarters of the city. It
turned out that she was a Russian
princess who, with her husband
and her daughter, had been driven
from Russia for having taken part
in a nihilist movement. Os all
their large property they had saved
only their jewels. She opened a
little safe and showed the Ameri
can one of the finest collections of
diamonds he haa ever seen. They
were Wort. l $200,000 or $300,000.
“We sell them a few at a time,”
she explained, “just enough of
them each year to give us a living.
Perhaps you will wonder why we
don’t sell them all and live on the
interest of the money? But my
husband has the gambler’s spirit.
The money would not last a year.
So we part from them piecemeal.
I estimate that there are enough of
them to keep us twenty years, and
I don’t expect to live longer than
that.”
One of those diamonds forms the
centerpiece of one of the most val
uable necklaces in New York. A
few others are sent to this country
every year. In the “diamond horse
shoe” at the opera there is never a
night when there are not some of
the jewels of the exiled princess on
view.—New York Tribune.
