Burr's Last Shot.

One afternoon q number of young
lawyers amused themselves by shoot
ing at target with pistols. As the
exercises continued long after the ad-
journment of court for the day, many
lawyers and others who were attend
ing court assembled to witness the
sport Among the deeply interested
spectators was Colonel Burr. While
keenIy watching the effect Of each
shot, two young lawyers, who had
been engaged in shooting, approached
him.
"Colonel Burr" said one of them,
1--WE should be very happy to witness
your skill at target-shooting."
my skill at target shooting ?
How came you to suppose that 1 had
any skill as a marksman ?" said Burr,
fixing his piercing eye upon the
speaker.
You are an old soldier, Colonel
Burr, and we have always heard yon
spoken Of as the best shot in Ameri-
ca, y said the young man.
HIt is many-years siuce l was 3 SOL

tice with the pistol since leaving the

Several were brought to him. Sc
lecting one of them, he balanced it q
moment in his hand, sighted across
the barrel, then taking his stand at
the line from which each contestant
fired, he raised his arm and presented
the pistol.
1t was a moment of intense, almost
dramatic interest. Before the spec
tatOrs, pistol in hand, stood Aaron
Burr, the very arm oQtstretched,
which, on the heights of WeehaHken,
laid the illustriOus Hamilton cold in
death. The eye that was now sight
ing the pistol had CLEANED along q

sharp report broke the spell that held
the spectators; the bullet had sped.
Aaron Burr had sent it home to the
center of the target. A faint smile
passed over his features as an excIa-
nation of astonishment announced
the unerring shot. Handing the
weapon to its owner, he turned and
left the field without uttering q word.

From the New York Herald Sept. 29.l
The Ingenuity OF Sing Sing Convict.
A singular discovery, illustrative OF
the extraordinary fertility of convict
ingenuity, has just been made at Sing
Sing Prison, being no less surprising
than the finding of a whisky still,
which had evidently been in opera
ton for months, to the pecuniary ad-
vantage of one convict at least. For
some time past convicts have oecas-
ionally been noticed to be under the
influence of strong drink, but all ef-
forts on the part of the officials failed
to elicit from them where the liquor
had been obtained. A couple of
transpired which ultimately led the
prison authorities to the fountain of
convict bliss.
A night guard, while noiselessly
pacing one of the galleries when all
the Jail birds were supposed to be
slumbering, had his attention attract
ed to cell occupied solely by
A COMICAL CHARACTER,
known in the prison as "Irish Tom"
This individual appeared to be talking
in q conversational sort Of way to
some person near him, whom he al
ternately chided and caressed, using
such terms OF endearment as a man,
under circumstances of q convivial ma
ture, might address to a bosom friend
or benefsctOr. On opening Toms cell
the guard found him in q glorious
state of intoxication, giving some af-
fectionate advice to black bottle, the
contents of which had almost evapOr-
ated through his dexterous manipula-
ton. Next morning on being told,
under penalty of severe punishment,
that he must say where he procured
the liquor, Tom at first hesitated, but
finally said that he had obtained it
| from another convict, named John
Short, who was working in one Of the
marble quarries.
DISCOVERY OF A WHISKY STILL.
Without informing Short a search
of the quarry was Immediately insti-
tuted, where, in a secluded corner, shell
tered by q few rough boards, was
| found one of the most remarkable
eontrivances on record for the manu-
facture of whisky. A couple of the
prison tubs, holding perhaps twelve
or fifteen gallons each, contained the
mash, which was composed of pota-
toes, scraps of bread, a sprinkling oi
tomatoes, with some corn and coarse
meal, collected in the prison stable
An iron kettle answered the purpose
Of still, while section Of half inch
GAS PIPE, ARTIsTICALLY BENT,
formed the worm, thus completing an
apparatus which, it is understood, wa:
capable OF producing about five gal
Ions of homespun spirits daily. Thi:
frightlul liquor Short, who construc
ted and owned the still, retailed to hi;
fellow convicts in sarsaparilla bottles
at the moderate (one) price Of 81 each.
Before Short had received nOtifica
ton OF the seizure of his distillery he
was made to undergo a search wheI
concealed on his person was found
belt containing over $500, being tbs
proceeds of sales from his illicit bust
ness.
1t is almost needless to add thai
Short has for time, at least, abandon
ed the distillery trade. The question
as to whether his keepers were cogni'
Zant OF what was going on in tha
particular quarry need not be answer

THE BEST BED.


OF the eight pounds which n man
eats and drinks in a day, it is thought
that not less than five pounds leave
the body through the skin. And of
these five pounds, n considerable per
centage escapes during the night while
he is in bed. The larger part Of this
is water. but in addition there is much
effete and poisonous matter. This, be
ing in great part gaseous in form, per
meates every part of the bed. Thus
all parts of the bcd-mattress, blank
cts, as well as shcets-soon become
foul, and need publication.
The mattress needs this renOvating
as much as the sheets.
To allow the sheets to be used with
out washing or changing for three or
six months would be regarded as bad
housekeeping but | insist, if thin
sheet can absorb enough of this poison
Gus excretion of the body to make it
unfit for use in few days, thick mat
tress which can absorb and retain n
thousand times as much of these poi
sonous excrctions, needs to be purified
as often certainly as once III three
months. A sheet can be washed. A
mattress cannot be renovated in this
way Indeed, there is no other way
of cleansing a mattress but by steam
ing it or picking it to pieces, and thus
in fra gments exposing it to the direct
rays of the sun As these processes
are scarcely practicable with any Of
the ordinary mattresses, | am decided
ly of the opinion that the old7fashion-
ed straw bed, which can every three
months be exchanged for fresh straw
and the tick washed, is the sweetest
and healthiest of beds.
If in the winter season the porous
ness of the straw bed makes II NIUE
uncomfortable, spread over it a com
forter or two wooden blankets, when
should be washed,as often as every two
weeks. With this Arrangement, II you

"Chicken and Eggs are out"

The most sensible thing in the Farm
Ballad line, Mrs. Emerson and viii NJ.
Carleton to the contrary notwithstanding,
is the following from o. c. Kerr's 'sChicE-
en- and Eggs are Out" in which an old
farmer laments the nuisance of being both
cred by city folks who want everything for
nothing, as well as those who don't care
what they get SO they get it in the country
The old agriculturst says:
Between the town-folks selfish, who think a
farm is made
OF eggs and chickens and dairy, which no
cash is paid.
And them, more free and foolish, who never
think a mite,
But come, when they'd do better, at home
a precious sight
We, farming-kind, get riley, to find the
breed so fiat
And where's our human natur' if we made
naught but that?
We give to the ones we welcome potatoes,
pork and green's,
With apple-pie and doughnuts, and q spice
OF corn and beans.
But as for milk ana poultry, and things in
skin and shell,
We send them down TO the city, for they
were made to sell
And if twas them they wanted, these folks
who range and ToaIu,
They ought ia know where to buy them, and
that Is III town, at home.
So hide the coop, there, Betsey, and nail
the hcn-hOuSe stout
We've city-boarders comm, ard chicken
and eggs are out
And what is still more peslly, to happen the
selt-same day,
Our milk it is all out, lihewise-until they
have gone away
