~ The grand army has Departed
The last OF the troops leaving this post on
Monday. Hardly vis,nge Of military is
left Our town has again assumed quite,
orderly and sober appearance, and our
places Of business are now accessible to
the entrance Of poor civilians. Although
satisfied Of the necessity Of the movement.
We could no, resist feeling Of regret at
departure OF 80 many whose society We
have taken great pleasure in fer the las,
few months. Perhaps never were there
an equal number Of soldiers confined to so
small compass As the troops stationed a.
Sioux City for the pas, few months, where
there was not more real cause Of com.
plant by the citizens. Those connected
with the military stationed herewith
hardly an exception have conducted
themselves like gentlemen. Their dcport.
ment has been orderly, to a degree highly
credi,abIe. They came among US as
strangers. but by displaying an interes. in
everything which would conduce to the
prosperity Of the town, soon secured for
themselves many warm friends among the
citizens. Their continued good conduct
and gentlemanly bearing, strengthened
the feeling Of regard, until when the time
Of their actual departure arrived VIC had
come to look upon many Of them as actual
that Of old friends. May the success Of
the undertaking they are engaged in be
fully equal to their merits, and may they
be able to return to US rs safe in person
and - true in heart rs when they left US.

The Volunteers Vision.

Last night as lay in the rain
And looked up to Heaven through the night,
vision came DER me and lighted my brain
With glory that never will flood it again
This side Of the River of Light.
And heard sweet sound as it came
Like the futter of heavenly wings,
Aud the voice of a seraph kept calling my name,
And her voice in my tresses went playing the same
As the air on an Instruments strings.
told my wild heart to be still,
That the vision naught but dream;
For knew not that over the amethyst hill
The feet of my darling had wandered at Will
On the bank of Eternity's stream.
said to the seraph-winged bird
Oh why have you come from the westW
And she told how the leaves of the forest stirred
BY the feet of the angels who brought her the word
Of a land where the weary may rest.
She said she weary and faint,
And her heart was all covered with snow;
The angels they heard her unuttered complaint
They called her and brought her the robes Of saint,
And said she ready to go.
told her the blossoms were sweet
In the meadows, the same as of yore;
But she showed me the dew on her sparkling feet,
They had caught off the lilies that bordered the street
BY the sands of the Paradise shore.
I asked her how long must wait
Before | must meet her afar;
And prayed her unfold me the book of my fate
But she vanished away through the crystalline gate
She had left in her coming ajar.
Dear Hugh, there's a battle to-day,
And perchance I may happen to fall
If Pm not at the call of the roll, You may say
A goodbye to the boys IN my name for may
Have said Aye" to an angels call.

a Romance Of Modern Times.

In a quiet and peaceful place, en- the banks of
a tributary OF the Illinois river there lived q
Miss TIL commonly known as Mrs P
with her husband and children, indulging of
course, in the luxuries of married couple. They
enioyed a happy life for quite number of years,
until the demon arOusing happiness from its
slumber, and what is technially so called, they
had falling out the husband went north, and
Mrs p married another This second union
was also crowned with happiness and no per-
son apprehended any fears of a separation soon
Months passed on, and nothing disturbed the
happy pair from enjoying the honey days. A
few weeks ago, however, husband No 2, had
occasion to be absent from home in the mean
time husband No. by mere accident-returned
from the northern mines, his pockets full ofBoise
Rivers chief product, induced his not forgorten
consort to flee with him, and both absconded
for parts unknown, leaving husband No 2, on
the return from his journey, to mourn his loss
and amuse himself over the following lines:
"She loved me she said and she swore it;
She swore it a thousand times
She treasured my gifts like jewels,
And learned and repeated my rhymes.
And numherless tokens she gave me;
Her kisses were many and sweet;
And thought her an angel from Heaven,
When she was but womanly cheat
She robbed me of rest and of comfort,
And gave me bright hopes in return,
And now in my bedchamber, lonely,
Her pictures I smiiingly burn.
But bark the dinner bell is pealng;
Not many are blessing the bride
She leans on the arm Of another,
Who was once my love and my pride.
All, well let her live and be happy;
Her pictures are burned, and | see
'Tis better be rid of such tokens,
And keep the heart healthy and free.

The Living Dead.

We are surrounded by the living dead,
Men whose whole lives seem purposeess and vain
They're bubbles in the air husks mid the grain,
Mere walking fesh-piles, without heart OF head
They're dead as those on whoseold graves we ire ad
Long years companioned with the feshfat worm,
To show they're men, they've nothing but the form.
They are not worth their daily meat and bread
The marvels of creation move them not;
As well preach God unto heshless skull.
Surrounded by the grand and beautiful,
They're cold as icy stone of messy grot
Their life IS a dream, fostering id the
Snatched from this fostering earth, who'd miss them?

WHY BEES WORK IN THE DARK.--A lifetime
might be spent in investigating the mysteries
hidden in a bee hive, and still half Of the secrets
would be undiscovered The formation Of the
cell has long been a celebrated problem for the
mathematician, whilst the changes which the
honey undergoes offer at least an equal interest
to the chemist Every one knows what honey
fresh from the comb is like. 1t is clear yel-
low syrup, without trace of solid sugar in it.,
Upon straining, however, it gradually assumes
a crystalline appearance-it candies, as the say
ing is, and ultimately becomes a solid mass of
sugar. 1t has not been suspected that this
change was due to Photographic action; that
the same agent which alters the molecular ar
rangement of the iodine of silver on the excited
collodion plate, and determines the formation of
camphor and iodine crystals in bottle, causes
the honey syrup to assume crystalline FORM
This. however. is the case. NJ. Scheiber has
enclosed. honey in stoppered TASKS, some of
which he has kept in darkness, whilst others
have been exposed to the light. The invariable
result has been that the summed portion rapidly
crystalizes, whilst that kept in the darkremained
perfectlv LIQUID We now see why bees are so
careful to work in perfect darkness, and why
.they are so careful to obscure the glass windows
which are placed in their hives The existence
of the young depends the liquidity of the
saccharne food presented to them, and if light
were allowed access to this, the syrup would
gradually acquire a more or less solid consist
ency: it would seal up the cells, and, in all
probability, prove fatal to the inmates Of the
hive,

THE BEST C1GARs.-Itis is not generally known
that the best Havana cigars are made from to-
bacco dipped in a solution of opium. Natural
leaf tobacco never has that peculiar effect, as
will be noticed upon smoking the best clean leaf
in pipe. 1t is the opium in a first rate cigar
and not the tobacco, which smokers get enslayed
with and cannot get along without. In some OF
the Havana establishments $40, 900 worth OF
opium year is used

THE Inevitable PENALTY OF CRnE.-There
is a wholesome truth in the following passage
from Emerson, which all would do well to lay at
heart. It may help to ward off temptation,
when purer and better motives grow weak in the
contest "There is, he says, ''no den in the
wide world to hide a rogue. There is no such
thing as cOncealment. Commit crime, and 1t
seems as if a coat of snow fell on the ground,
such as reveals in the woods the track of every
partridge and fox and squirrel and mole. You
cannot recall the spoken word, you cannot wipe
out the foot-track, you cannot draw up the lad
der, so as to leave no inlet or clue. Always
some damning- Circumstance transpires. The
laws and substances of nature, water, snow,
wind, gravitation, become penalties to the thief"

THE STRAsBURG CLoCK.-The priest and mil
itary have retired, and l am now sitting in
chair facing the gigantic clock-from the bot
tom to the top not less than one hundred feet,
and about thirty feet wide and fifteen feet deep.
Around me are many strangers waiting to see
the working of this clock as it strikes the hour
of noon Every eye is upon the clock. 1t now
wants five minutes to twelve The clock has
struck, and the people are gone, except few
whom the sexton or head man, with wand and
sword, is conducting round the building.
The clock has struck in this way; The dial
is some twenty feet from the floor, on each side
of which is a cherub or a little boy, with mall
let and over the dial is a small bell; the cherub
on the left strikes the first quarter, that on the
right the second quarter. Some fifty feet above
the dial, in a large niche, is huge figure of
Time bell is in his left a scythe in his right
hand In front stands figure Of young man
with a mallet, who strikes the third quarter, on
the bell in the hand of Timej and then turns,
and glides with slow step round behind Ilme
then comes out an old man with mallet and
places himselfin front
AS the hour of twelve comes, the old man
raises his malet and deliberately strikes twelve
times on the bell that echoes through the build'
ing, and is heard all around the region OF the
church Soon as the old man has struck
twelve and disappeared, another set Of machine
~ is set in motion, some twenty feet higher still
1t is thus There is a high cross with the i'm
age of Christ on it. The instant twelve is
struck, one of the apostles walks out from be-
hind, comes in front, turns facing the cross,
bows, and walks on around to his place.
As he does so, another comes out in front,
turns bows and passes in. So twelve Apos-
ties, figures as large as life walk round, bow
and pass on. AS the last appears an enormous
cock perched on the pinnacle of the clock,
slowly flaps his wings, stretches forth its neck,
and crows three times, so loud as to be heard
outside of the church to some distance, and so
naturally as to be mistaken for a real cock
Then all is as silent as death. No wonder this
clock is the admiration of Europe 1t was made
in 1911 and has performed these mechanical
wonders ever since, except about fifty years,
when it stood out Of repair.

A WATER -CURE-1oUs RoMANoE.-The follow
ing are the leading particulars Of an occurrence
in a neghboring town in Chenango county,
writes a correspondent of the Utica IN. Y. Her
ald) About year ago, the wife of Mr.. T., a
prominent citizen Of the village Of New Berlin,
repaired to a fashionable Water-cure in this
State for hydropathc treatment of her bodily
ailments, leaving her husband at home with a
young woman as his hOusekeeper, in her alb
sence It was the good fortune Of Mrs. H., at
the water-cure to secure the services Of one of
the nurses, whose name was Miss Sallie NJ. Nun
roe. Miss Munroe was large, stout, handy, and
careful and, under herkind ministratiOns, Mrs.
z. so throve in health that she was able to come
back to New Berlin in few months, essentially
benefited in condition. She brought home
with her the faithful nurse who continued to
bathe and pack, and dOuche her in her own
house. Miss Munroe also, upon the recOmmen-
dation of Mrs. H., rendered similar services, as
a nurse in the water-cure way, to several respect
able ladies in that village, and was much es-
teemed for her skill and usefulness. In a few
weeks, Mrs. Z. discovered that, in her absence
at the cure, her husband had been obliviOus Of
his obligations in the matter of marital fidelity
and she forthwith Indignantly commenced pro-
ceedings against him for a divorce.
Mr. Z. was a nice, good man, as the world
goes; but not being able, unfortunately, to deny
this particular impeachment he made no de-
fence, and permitted her, unopposed, to obtain
a bill of final separation Mrs. y. was consoled
during the progress of the divorce suit by the
sympathies of her tender nurse, who was scarce
ever absent from her side. But by-and-by Miss
Munroe went away to New York on business
She returned again to New Berlin this spring,
metamorphosed and disguised-or rather undis-
guised, for she was clothed in the habliments
of a man ughout-hatted, booted, breeches
and bearded-looking, acting, and being YER
table man She was now Dr.. Munroe, and her
cards of business and of visiting were "S NJ
Monroe, N. D." In explanation of this great
presto change, Sally alleged that it was only
during her stay in New York city that her mas
culnity of sex had been made known to herself
through the scientific examination of distin-
gushed surgeons She had been a man all her
life without knowing it rs. NJ. Monroe, NJ
D., " at once commenced to pay honorable atten-
tion to Mrs. y. as a lover. He was accepted
and they were married by clergyman in the
village of COOperstown, and are now regular
man and wife in the Christian town of New
Berlin There were some good women at that
water-cure, and some good women in New Ber-
lin village also who started a little when Sal
y's transformation was announced. Mr.. q.
contemplates under the advice ofcounsel, meas
ures to open the divorce case and to knock the
bill endways. Public feeling has suffered a re-
vusion, and is now wholly on his side. He is
well and favorably known in Utica Incredible
as this story is, it is nevertheless true, and is
another realization Of the remark 'Truth is
stranger than fiction"

THE SEXES EAsTAND WEsT.-A Western paper
makes a note of the following facts as tending to
explain in part why the West usually is able to
answer the calls for soldiers with more prompt
ness than the East. It says
In the following Western States and Terrific
ries the number of males in excess Of the num-
Der Of females, is as follows, in round numbers:
California, l42, ,0OO Indiana, As 900; Illinois,
"a ,OOO Iowa, 1000; Kansas, IL, 600; Michigan,
40 600; Minnesota, IA 900; Missouri 63, 900; Ohio
Al ,OOO Oregon, ! 900; Wisconsin, 80 ,OOO Colo
rado, 81 900; Nevada 5000; Nebraska, 5,0OO}
New Mexico and Washington, 6 1000. Total 59l,-
600.
In the following States the excess of females
is as follows
Connecticut, 5000; Massachusetts,, 37,OOO
New Hampshire, 1000; New York IL 900; Rhode
Island, 6OOO. Total 69OOO.
In Pennsylvania the numbers nearly equal,
with a slight excess of males, and the same is
the case with Maine and Vermont. New Jersey
has slight excess of females.
The writer then adds .
Yet men there are all over the West who ask
Massachusetts, with her excess of 81, ,0O0wOmen,
to furnish the same quota on population that
Illinois does with her excess Of "a, 900 malesl
