An Incident of the Battle ofBeimont.

Logan was Colonel, and had
brought from the field an enormous
shell thrown from the monster gun on
Columbus heights kown as the Lady
Polk The shell was placed in the
door OF The bank at Cairo, and Logan
was telling, in his brusque, expletiye
way, the story of the fight and defeat.
One of his auditors asked him why the
gunboats were not run in under the
bluff, out of reach of the enemy's bat
teries, and the crossing Of reinforce
ments by the rebels prevented. just
at that moment Governor Yates and
another gentleman went staggering up
the levoe, in the direction of the st.
Charles Hotel, having between them
Brigadier General u. s. Grant, who
was so drunk that il required all their
strength to help him along. Logan
drew himself up, his bright black eyes
flashing the scorn and indignation he
felt, aud pointing to the initiating
spectacle, exclaimed, ny God, sir,
that's the reason; that's the reason 7
Couldn't the Senator season one OF his
speeches by reciting this incident in
the Senate Chamber?
The shells from the gun alluded to
above weighed 128 pounds. General
Logan left the field of Belmont in a
big run, and it is hardly probable that
he could pick up l28 pound she'll on
the wing. The balance of the story is
no doubt correct.--Paducah Ken-
tuckidn.

WE copy the following from the
Shclbyvillc Commercial. 1t is a good
suggestion, and subscribers would do
we'll TO act upon it
Preserve Your County Papers.
Let them be filed away as records OF what
Is now passing. In after years your child
rem will find them invaluable because they
will tell of things that happened In the
18th century. BY referring to them, many
child or grand child will be able to see
what was done by his ancestors, and this
of itself will make such papers intensely
interesting; this of itself should induce
those of us now living to hand such pa.
pers down 10 our descendants. The pres
ent generation is being "clbowed" OF the
stage of life. Let Its descendants have the
bonefit OF their living virtues and learn to
shun Its errors.
Aside from all this, the keeping file OF
"local" papers is often necessary. To law
yers and litigants, they are often useful
Such papers contain many legal notices
which. in after years 1t might lo essential

or other. Besides, the record of deaths, oil
marriages, etc, would DO read with much
interest fifty years hence, by those who are

scribers to preserve them.

Taking Country Papers.

OF course the large city papers con-
tain larger amount of reading matter
than country papers, but which is the
most Interestingly DO the city papers
say anything in regard to your own
county? Nothing. Do they contain
notices of your schools, churches,
meetings, marriages, and hundreds of
other local matters of interest which
the county papers publish without
pay? Not an item. Do they ever say
a word calculated to draw attention to
our county and it's thriving towns, aud
aid iii our progress and enterprise
Not line. And yet there are men
who take the contrary view of this
matter, that unless they see as much
reading in their county paper. as they
are not getting the worth of their
money. 1t reminds us ofthe person who
took the largest pair of boots in the
box, simply because they cost the same
as the pair much smaller that fit.

In Pennsylvania, not many years ago
there dwelt the descendants of Peter
Van Schrenbendykc, who had cleared
his own farm, guarded it carefully
from the attacks of the Indians, and
willed it TO his son Jacob. The farm
was transmitted in regular order from
father to son, and at last became the
property of Heinrich Van Schrenben-
dyke-a good natured, stolid Teuton,
whose son johannes, bright, lively
youth of sixteen, was told to saddle
the horse and ride to mill with grist
and hurry back. The grist was, on
such occasions, placed in one end of q
bag, and large stone in the other end
to balance it. johannes, having
thrown the sack across the horse !
back and got the grist evenly divided
had no need of the stone to balance it
He therefore ran to his father and
cried: "Oh fadder, come and Sec
We don't need dc stones any more"
The old gentleman calmly surveyed
the scene, and with severely rcpoach.

A Curious Coincidence.

Sir Humphrey Dayy and George
Stephenson invented the safety lamp
about the same time. A contest arose
between the friends of each as to who
was entitled to the credit Of the in
ycntion.
Stephenson's locomotive engines
were in use several years before they
attracted general notice. People re-
fused to believe that iron wheels on iron
rails could haul heavy loads, because
there was no bite" that IL, no trac-
tive power. They said and believed
that the road must consist of yield,
ing surface, but experiments proved
fully the fallacy of such views. An.
other fallacy entertained was that ffic,
ton increased with velocity, but this
was proved by Stephenson, and had
long before been demonstrated by sci.
entists, to be constant quantity.

To THE GIRLs.-We have lately
seen it stated that in one town, four
girls were married at the same hour,
about eighteen months ago. Two of
them have separated from their hus-
bands, and the other two are trying for
divorces. Such things ought to wake
up the girls to a sense of their danger.
Girls talk and laugh about marriage
as though it was a jubilee, jolly,
gladstone thing, a rose without thorn
And so it is, if it is all right, if they go
about it like rational beings, instead
of merry making children. 1t is a
serious thing to marry. 1t is a life
business and that of heart and happi-
ness. Therefore never do it in haste
never run away to get married; never
steal a marriage; never marry for
wealth, or standing, or fine person, OF
manners; but only for character, for
worth, for the qualities Of mind and
heart which make an honorable man
Take time, think long and well before
you accept any proposal. Consult
your parents, then some judicious
friend, then your own Judgment
Learn all it is possible for you to learn
of your proposed husband when all
doubts are removed and not till thcr
accept him. - '''v'i-'

The Cleveland Leader says Mr..
Kinzua, a gentleman of leisure who
resides on the WestSide, and who prides
himself on his personal appearance,
lately sought to remove grease spot
from his coat-tail by the free use ofbcn-
zine, and then stood close to the stove
that the odor might evaporate more
quickly. He was quite correct in his
theory but unfortunate in practice, for
before you could say Jack Robinson
he was turning cart-wheels through
the window, and there was not enough
coat tail left to make "weskit" for a
doll baby. He does not ride horse
back now, and sleeps on all four like
a mule.
