YOU FIcHT NIT SIGEL, you DRINKS NIT
NE. A soldier, with his arm in sling, on
Monday morning, went into Bergner's beer
ss.ivon, uuJvr the Post Office. TO refresh him
self with lager beer. The sighto the wound
ed limb naturally interested the crowd that
was present. A conversation ensued, in
which the wounded man, in response to inqui-
ries, modestly stated that he had fought under
Sigel in Missouri. At the name Of Sigel, a
little German in a corner of the room rose to
his feet. He ran up to the wounded man
just as he raised his lager to his lips. - You
fights nit Sisel, said he. :. you drinks nit
me-" The wounded soldier was slightly ta-
ken back at the abruptness of the remark,
when the Teuton. embraced him, actually
kissing his cheek as he would kiss the cheek
of girl. ''Mein Cot," said he, mo man
what fights wit Sigel pays for no beer when
| ish by-no, SIR The result further was
that. after the soldier had slaked his thirst
the German went out with him, proffering
TO him anything he might desire. The atfcc,

of this city l. very great. We see it illus

To PREVENT DRowNING.-At this season
of the year when so many accidents occur
from persons bathing, we think the following
remarks may prevent the loss of life :
" Men are drowned by raising their hands
above water. the unbuoyed weight of which
depresses the head. Animals have neither
notion or ability to act in simler manner,
and therefore swim naturally. When a
man falls into deep water he will rise to the
surface. and continue there if he does not sl-
evate his hands. If he moves his hands un-
der water in any manner he pleases, his head
will rise so high as to allow him liberty to
breathe and if he moves his legs as if in the
act of walking up stairs, so that he may use
less exertion with his hands, or apply them
to other purposes. Persons not having learn
ed to swim in their youth, will find the above
plain directions highly advantageous.

The Pilot Fish.

1t was in the month of May, 1893, that the
ship that bore the celebrated French zoologist,
NJ. Geoffrey, was lying becalmed between
Cape Bonand and the Island of Malta, whenthe
ennui of the passengers was disspated by the
two pilot fishes, that directed their course
toward the ships stern, which they inspect
ed twice, swimming from one end to the 9TH
er. Not finding anything, they for time
departed The SHARK, it is asserted, never
lost sight of the pilots, and he seems to have
followed them as.if he had been an iron
shark, and they had been magnets The
sailors threw overheard large hook baited
with pork. The three, observing the splash
of the bait, stopped, The two pilots advanc-
ed as if to examine the cause. While they
were gone, the shark was seen playing up
on the surface of the level sea. now diving,
now re. appearing in the same place. When
the pilots discovered the pork, they swan
swiftly back to the shark, took the lead, and
all three made towards the ship. The shark
did not seem to discover the bait till it was
pointed out to him by the pilots, when he
made rush at it, and was hooked and hois-
ted on board. Here the pilots seemed to
have led their friend to his death.
The next witness, captain of the royal
navy, gives these leaders credit for greater
sagacity. Captain Richards, while on the
Mediterranean station, saw following the
ship a shark, attracted probably by a corpse,
which had been committed to the deep. The
dav was fine. \ sharp hook, baited with
pork, was thrown out. The shark attended
by four pilot fishes, repeatedly approached
the bait Whenever he did so, one of the
pilots was distinctly seen from the taffrail
to run his snout against the sharks head, as
if to turn it away. After some further play
the shark swan off in the wake of the vessel
his dorsal fin being long distinctly visible
above water. When, however, he had gone
n considerable distance, he made sudden
turn, darted after the ship, and. before the
pilots could overtake him, snapped at the
bait and was fast. On hosting him up, one
of the pilots was observed clinging to his side
until he was out of water; then it fell off,
All of the pilot fishes then swan about while
as if in search of their friend, With every
appearance of anxiety and distress they
then started suddenly down into the depth:
of the sea.
Mr.. Mayen deposes that he saw no less
than three instances in which the shark was
led by the pilot fish. When the former
neared the ship the pilot swan close to his
snout or near his pectoral fins. Sometimes
the pilot fish darted rapidly forward ant
sideways, as if looking for something. anC
constantly went back to the shark. Wher
the latter was within twenty PAGES from thu
ship, a piece of bacon fastened to grca
hook, was thrown overheard. Quick as
lightning the pilot fish darted up, smelt til,
bait. and instantly went back again to th,
shark, swimming many times round his snout
and splashing as if to give him exact infor
nation as to the bacon. The shark ther
put himself in motion, the pilot showing
him the way, and in moment was fast t
the hook.

SOMETHING FOR Swans A gentleman
who was among the Salmon river auventurers,
says that party with whom he travelled had
with them n Chinaman as cook. There is
nothing strange in this, but to us there is
something strange and suggestive in the fact
that this Chinaman was able to talk-perhaps
not fiuently, but so as to make himself un-
derstood-with two different parties of In
dams who came into camp. The Indians
were supposed TO be Bannocks, though they

A Brilliant Charge.

The following is an extract from letter
written by an officer in the army of Virginia,
describing charge of the rebels, during one
of the seven days battles:
/ now had the good fortune to witness one
of the grandest sights in the whole war, and
if live hundred years l may never see
another such. On our ri ght brigade of reb-
els advanced from the woods about 200U feet
in front of our batteries. They came up with
yells and cheers to capture the batteries. In
moment eight Parrot guns and two brass
howitzers sent their deadly charges through
their ranks. The shell and shot, grape and
canister moved them dewn like grass before
the scythe, but when the dust cleared away
there was the same line, closed up, advanc-
ing steadily as before. Faster and faster
came the murdereus grape, but louder and
louder they echoed their yells. 1t was graudl

done better. Twelve cannon belching ruin

it, 1t was so brave. Slowly they came on,
and now not five hundred feet remained to be
passed over. | cried out that our guns were
lost. Not one half of the rebels were left,
but there were enough to capture the batter
les. Their officers waved their swords, and
springing on with renewed energy, seemed
certain Of success, when 10! up from the long
grass where they had lain concealed, rose
two regiments of our brave boys, who poured
into the faces of the as.onished rebels Internal
volleys, and then with cheer that rose far
above the din of arms, charged bayonets.-
Human nature could stand it no longer. They
broke and fed, and our regiments threw
themselves on their faces while the cannon
hurled double shotted canister and grape into
the retreating mass. In that charge the reb-
els must have lost more than one thousand
men.

Thankfulness is the Incentive to Gratitude.

who may be unfortunate enough to be similarly af
ficted where permanent relief of their sutferings

express his most sincere gratitude to DIR, L. ].

Borne down by the distressing symptoms incident
to the vicious practices of uncomfortable passion

perform even the most trifing duty imposed by the

nv physicians, who at first regarded my disease as
of trifing importance but aas, after few weeks,
and several instances, months of their treatment,
found to nv unutterable horror, that instead of
relef, my symptoms became more alarming in
their torture and being told oy one that my dis
ease being principally confined to the brain, medi
cine would be of little consequence, despaired of
ever regainpg lay health, strength and energy; and
as a last resort, and with but faint hope, called
upon DIR. Czapkay, who, after examining my case,
prescribed some medicine, which almost instantly
relieved me of tho dull pain and dizziness in my
head. Encouraged by the result, | resolved to
place myself under his care and by strict obedi-
