JouN PHGN1x OurDoNE.-A para
graph has been going the rounds Of the
press in which an account is given of a
horse having new boof grown on by
the use of a certain far1riieatt's Ointment.
Now this reminds us Of an Incident
that happened in Lyons, Wisconsin,
A Mormon priest named Nicholas pro-
fessed a power of doing miraculous
things and compounding wonderful
Medicines. He made nerve and bone
all-healing salve. aud thought he would
experiment little with it. He first
cut off his dogs tail and applied some
of the salve to the stump. a new tail
grew out Immediately. He then aP-
piled some to the piece of tail which he
had cut of, and a new dog grew out
He didn't know which dog was which.
This may seem tough story, but We
have Nicholas word fol- it, Aid We
don't think he would lie:

A4 old man, Who has been living in
alno4t abljact POVERTY for several years,
vibra ting between Worcester county

necti cut, as he was shifted by select
men who wished to clear him from their

years ago THIS same man did a heavy

othe Is, conceived grand scheme Of
doiu g an immense foreign trade; and
went to Europe, taking most of his
~*'seol til with MIN. Family stairs did
not run smooth, and he gave up his
gran d project, went to London, led
gay lite, was feasted by lords, became
very intimaoe with the household of
oobl le earl, and was presented at Court
by the American Minister.
Afterward he crossed to Paris, where
som e imbroglio Obliged him to accept
the challenge Of fighting marquis,
wh9 sse:nnit:a Sent: a bah through his right arm;
but our pauper being but poor shot,
sew erely wounded his own second In

lea 7e the city. Then he went to Mu-
nich, aud made love to the niece Of
the royal families, was accepted, got

Post publishes an article on ''Shoddy,
which, it says, "comes from one Of the
first business men in Connecticut" -
We quote from it the following:
What is shoddy? Shoddy is old,
WORKOUT unfelted woolen goods, made
Of slack twisted yarn, picked to pieces
By machinery specially adapted to the
purpose. 1t is mixed with wool of
longer fiber aud staple, and when card
ed together can be spun finer or coarser,
according to the proportion it bears to
the new wool making the compound.
No small portion or per centage can be
thus mixed with new wool md made
into yarn fit for either warp or woot,
or yarn for knitting purposes. Mungo
is another name for old and worn-out
dne felted goods and broadcloth clothes,
picked to pieces in the same manner.
1t is the finer article, and when proper:
" prepared can be worked into the fin
est black cloths to be found in the mar
ket. Avery large proportion Of all the
satinet in the market is more or less
impregnated With shoddy. The satie
may be said Of hosiery and stockine'
goods. 1t is consequently worn by the
many, and those who do not get it on
! in one form or another are the favored
few. .

He saw no more Of the boy until
Saturday last, when he %cat to his
place of residence-the Burnett House
and found Johnny Glenn sitting on
the sofa, waiting to see him. Johnny
had experienced some Of the vicissi,
tudes of war since they last met. He
had been captured BY Wheelcr's caval-
~ near Bridgeport. His captors took
him to Wheeler, who saluted him
with
"Wh.t are you doing here, you ID

Said Johnay Glen, stoutly: "Gen.
Wheeler, 1 I'm no more ID scoun-

Johnny said that the rebels stole
about all that he had, including his
pocket book, which contained. only
twenty-five cents. =
"Bot I wouldn't have cared for the
rest" hs added, eff they hadn't stolen
thy hat, which had three bullet h,lcs
in it, received at Chiskamauga." -
He was finally paroled- aid sent

meaning of it. He said he was promo

was mounted, and stopped Johnny at
some point on the field, crying, "Stop,
yGt little Yankee devil" Johnny
halted, bringing his Austrian rifle to

ease. Sooner than he though hit, he ar
rived at the Chalet de Ia Gelaise, where
he made known his discovery. 1t was
too Ate to revisit the cave but at
break Of dawn the next morning par
'ty of mouht47reers set out for the spot
The crystal sarcophagus va. soon found,
and the boldcst of the company was let
down to the icy depths, from which he
brought IN his arms the body of q
young man, frozen, and hard is st6he,
yet looking fresh and sfe-like.
Two elderly peasants at once 4ec6g-
mixed the features as those Of The pill
g'im Passy, mysteriously lost nineteen
years ago. Embalmed in ice, decay
had not touched his flesh, and he had
lain undisturbed in his crystal coffin
while generation Of men had passed
away over hi, head. The discoveries
came to the decision to carry their bur-
den at once to Passy. There was no
choice Of conveyance, the only one be-
ing the crotchet OF hook, fastened to
the shoulders, on which all loads are
transported in the Alps. To the hook
accordingly the frozen corpse was fas-
tened in sitting posture, with Upright
head and feet hanging to the ground.
Thus Tie pilgrim, Pilgrim dad nineteen years,
was carried to his former hohue through
snowy fields aud glaciers, across fields
and meadows, e4tendfbx over near q
score of miles. Fastened still to the
crotchet, the body of the young nan
was left at the cottage Of the young
widow of Passy-now young no more;
but an elderly, gray- y-haired woman.-
The son, who had never before seen his
father, made wooden coffin, and K
honor his memory, kept the body lying
in state for twenty-four hours. Then
At the ringing Of bells, and accompa
MED by all the inhabitants Of the vii
lagc, the pilgrim was carried to his las
resting-plaoe, never more to be disturb
ed by mortal hands.

AN AtPInf RO1lAnCE.

The London Globe coudenses from
the Courier des AEpes the remarkable
story connected with . discovery just
made in an Alpine Glacier. Nineteen
years ago, September II, 1874, a young
man, then recently married, set out
from the village Of Passy, on pilgrim
age to the convent of st. Bernard, pur-
suing his journey along by-paths across
the MSdfattains. lie never reached bis
destination, and from that time no hu-
man eye had seen him alive. All
search for the missing dith was in vain
and for many lonely night young
widow wept in her little cottage in Pas
sy, gradually solaccd by the cries of a
baby who had never seen his father
After that the vail Of time covered all.
1t so happened that, about a fort
night ago, a shepherd Of the village OF
'Ssmens went n search of loet goat.
Suddenly, 'dh jumping tcroSs a deep
glacier, an Extraordinary sight arrested
his eyes. The rays of the sinking sun
'illdmited gulf of ice, looking like a
vast crystal cavern, in the midst Of
which was the figure Of man lying
fiat ON his back. Horror struck, the
peasant nearly lost his footing; but re-
covering himself looked once more -
He had not been mistaken; there WAS
the figure at the bottom, to all appear,
