1t is q pleasure to have a story to tell !"
and whatever else may be true of our pres
ent war, we are going to be (some Of us)
more interesting to talk of. The following
kind of incident makes change in the mo-
notony OF common life-related by Judge
Robertson, in his anniversary address at
Camp Madison, Franklin County, on the
Fourth of July, 1913: son the long roll Of
that days reported slain, the fatal battle
of the Blue Licks, were the names Of few
who had, in fact, been captured, and after
| surviving the ordeal of the gauntlet had
been permitted to live as captives. Among
| these was an excellent husband and father
| who with eleven other captives, had been
taken by the tribe and painted black as the
signal Of torture and death to all. The
! night after the battle these twelve prisoners
were stripped and placed in q line on q
| log-he TO whom we have especially al
luded being at one extremity of the devoted
row. The cruel captors, then beginning at
the other end slaughtered eleven, one by
| one; but when they came to the only sur
vivor though they raised him up, also and
| drew their bloody knives to strike under
each uplifted arm, they paused, and after
long pow-wow, spared his life-why, he
never knew. For about year none of his
friends, excepting his faithful wife, doubted
his death. She, hoping against reason, in
sisted that he still lived and would yet re-
turn to her. Wooed by another, she, from
time to time, postponed the nupti0ls, de-
claring that she could not divest herself of
the belief that her husband had survived.
Her expostulating friends finally succeeding
in their efforts to stihe her afectionate in
stinct, she reluctantly yielded, and the nup-
tial day was fixed. But just before it
dawned, the crack Of rife was heard near
the lonely cabin at the familiar sound, she
leaped out like liberated fawn, ejaculat-
ing, as she sprang, That's Johns gun =
1t was Johns gun, sure enough; and in an
instant she was, once more, in her lost hus-
bands arms But, nine years afterward,
that same husband fell in 'St. Clair
defeat, and the same disappointed,
but persevering lover, renewed his suit,
and, at last, the widow became his wife.
The scene of these romantic incidents was
within gunshot of my natal homestead /;
and with that noble wife and matron was
myself well acquainted"

While we have our energies devoted to
self-preservatioD, Great Britain is improving
the year by forming projects, and carrying
them into execution, to bind her kingdom
more firmly together with the bands of cot
ton and iron. One of the most recent iron
bands proposed is new nearest route to
India" being a railroad from Antioch, Acre,
Sidon or Tripoli, on the Mediterranean,
through the valley of the Euphrates to Bal
sorah, on the Persian Gulf This Euphrates
Valley Railroad, it is estimated by DR..
Thomas Clarke of England, who has been
drawing attention to the advantages of the
route, would reduce the distance between
Great Britain and India by about one thou
sand miles as compared with the Suez route;
and it is calculated that the journey from
London TO Kurrachee, in India, could be per-
formed in fourteen days. DIR. Clarke states
the distance from Antioch to Balsorah to he
eight hundred miles, and the cost to be about
100000, or $43, $50 per mile. Besides the
distance and time saved over the present
mail route, Uia Suez, it is claimed that by this
route Europe would receive telegraph from
Gll parts of India daily, and that the same
arrangements apply in regard to China and
Australia. 1t is a grand scheme, and with
other events almost makes us believe that no
more will westward the star of empire
take its Way ~

Cotton supriy-ThO Opportunity for India.
The London Money Market Revie'0 has the
following comments upon the development
Of the cotton resources of India:
To avert the impending catastrophe, large
orders with a wide margin must at once be
sent to India There is cotton in every home
stead OF every village in the cotton districts,
an immense quantity in the aggregate, which
would be brought forward. A greatly in
creased export would of course check native
manufacture. Every piece of new road is as
useful for import as for export traffic. The
raw material would be drawn out, and our
piece goods, of which there are large stocks
in India, would answer to the demand
for manufactured goods. At present our
cloths are practically unknown in the inte-
rior. A sudden withdrawal Of the cotton,
and the Simultaneous opening up Of commu-
nication, would usher in q new trade. Our
manufacturers have beaten the native weaver
out Of the market wherever they have come
in contact with them. They will do 80 now,
depend upon it. High prices would be amply
repaid by this new trade. To hold it, the
introduction Of ar improved cultivation and
of machinery will be absolutely necessary.
The Tyots will grow the cotton; we must buy,
clean and bale it. We must, however, be
protected in our transactions with the
ryos. a law insuring the just fulfllment Of
contracts is q sine qua non.
CompaHies are already formed, and in the
present state of the money market we may
expect to see their number increased, for the
purchase and preparation of cotton. We
would draw attention to the province OF
Nagpoor and the adjacent districts as q most
eligible site for such operations.
The extent of land at present under cotton
cultivation in the district of Nagpoor ITSELF
is two hundred and eighty-one thousand two
| hundred and fourteen acres. The Commits
sioner Of the province, Major Elliott, is az
officer thoroughly alive to the importance o.
the cotton question. The Government o.
India have sanctioned all his plans, aud have
| placed the necessary funds at his disposal
| and he is not an officer to sit still. His own
! opinion regarding the capabilities Of his dis
| trict for the supply Of cotton is thus given:
with improved communication and in.
creased facilities for transport, this province
and the neighboring districts, north and
SOUTH would very soon produce any amount
of cotton which could possibly be required u

A New Kind of Dress. Goods

A pleasant Paris letter in the Courier des
Etats UHlS tells this story:
A paper manufacturer has just invented a
kind of impeTmeable paper suitable for dress
goods. Its manner of employment is both
simple and ingenious. 1t consists in replae-
ing by small frames the hoops upon which
are ballooned the petticoats of oar ladies'
These new-fangled engines are covered with
packiDg.canYas, upon which you have only
10 glue, as on common screen, tie newly
invented paper.
Thanks to this invention, when q lady
wants a new dress, her husband has no longer

five or six hundred francs for twenty yards
of velvet or thirty Of moire antique; all he
will have 10 do will be TO buy Ave or six
rolls of twelve-sous paper and send for the
glue. man. This is as simple as all grand
ideas.
The father about to marry his daughter
will not be obliged long time beforehand
to bother himself about her troussedu; he
will limit himself TO asking his wife on the
day before the wedding:
what paper shall we glue on to our EN-
iiy?"
mon Dieu. my love-" the mother will re-
ply, "do whatever you think proper-it seems
10 me that some twenty-five cent paper
with pretty border, you know"

SPEECH OF Hon. JOHN W. FINNELL.-The
Kentucky papers print an eloquent speech of
John W Finnel, Esq, Of CoVington, in the
Kentucky Legislature. He declares, by the

''need the territory of Kentucky, and must
have it at the price of blood and conquest,

A CATHOLIC BISHOP ON LoYALTY.-The
Adjutant General of Iowa, having occasion
to ask Bishop Smyth, Catholic Bishop of
Iowa, as to the possible interference Of the
clergy with enlistments, received in reply
an assurance that he agreed "that the cause
of the Union is the cause OF law, of order and
ofjustice." He concludes:
"You are aware that ever avoid all mat
tiers ofa political nature, as foreign to my
sacred duties, yet in this present hour of
tHal, when the honor and happiness of our
nation are at stake; when some preiudiced
minds may construe my silence into a dis
respect for you, whose friendship highly
prize, or inlo criminal opposition to our
National Government, the Government of
the United States, the only one to which |
owe fealty, it may not be departing too far
from my usual course to say that my feelings
and sentiments are for the Union, and,
though peace is new the darling object of IN y
ambition, yet l would not consent to pur-
chase peace at the sacrifice of principle"

OLD MACFARLAEE.-Among the Tennes-
seeans now in camp in Kentucky is little
fellow of about five feet four inches, with
gray and grizzled beard, dilapidated nose,
and an eye as keen as a ishhawk's. The
manner of his escape was remarkable and
highly ingenious. He headed large squad
of his neighbors and eluded the rebel pickets
by wearing big sleeps bell on his head, and
bleating away over the mountains, followed
by herd of men who did likewise. By this
stratagem he deceived the rebel scouts, and
passed within few feet Of them through one
Of the most important mountain passes. Old
Macfarlane (for this is the name of the hero
of the bells) thus won the sobriquet of "the
bell weather." by which name he passes all
through the camps. he is rough and good
mother wit, and speaks of himself as under
size and over age for a soldier" which he
literally is.
