A SOLDIERS SoLDIEELY WIFE. = A
plucky woman is Mrs. Kendall, wife OF
First Lieutenant F. G. Kendall of the
Twenty-ffth Infantry, stationed at Fcrt
Davis, Texas. She was awakened early
the next morning by the noise of some
one trying to enter her window. Her
husband was absent on duty and she
saw that her safety lay in the prompt
use of rev Oliver in her possession. She
called three times, "Who there?" and
receiving no response, fired straight at
the head of the intruder, who had near
ly succeeded in getting into her apait-

be Corporal Taliferro, a hideous negro
belonging to Company One, Ninth u

saws: From all that I can Learn 1t is
highly probable that Salomon Will be
reappointed Governor of Washington

the California delegation, and as Gar
tielde, who is his enemy, is without the
slightest influence, it is almost certain
hat Salomon will be Successful. No
Change wIll be made however until the

PAPER SHoEs.-A trial is now in
progress at Lille, in France, against
the furnishers of shoes with paper soles
to the Army of the North during the
late war, and the most fragrant rascali-
ties are being brought to light in the
investigation. One unfortunate suffer-
er testified that some days before the
battle of St. Quentin, shoes were dis
tributed among the men of his COM
pany, and two pairs came to his share.
One pair he put on in the morning of
the day preceding the battle, and by
midday they were completely played
out, literally falling from his feet. At
midday he put on the other pair, but
by four o'clock they too had almost
fallen to pieces, and when he attempted
the next day to march in them, they
fairly dissolved from his feet in the mud,
leaving him to march barefooted in the
intense cold, by which his feet were so
badly frost-bitten that he had afterward
to submit to amputation. This poor
fellow, it is said, manages to move
along by the aid of two crutches, and is
completely incapacitated for work. The
furnishers of these shoes are immensely
wealthy, and no one has manifested any
disposition, until very recently, to re-
ieve them of portion of their scan
dalously earned fortunes.

VACCINATION AND RE-VAcc1NAT1or

VACCINATION AND RE-VACCINATIoN
The following statistics are probably
the most reliable and instructive of any
of the kind ever published, and are we'll
worth needing. From an official report
made ON the subject, it appears that in
the army of Bavaria re-vaccination has
been compulsory since lS43, and from
that date until lS57-a period of four
teen years single case of small
pox occurred, nor single death from
the disease. Of the nearly $4,000 re-
vaccinations in the Prussian army only
about one-third were perfectly success
ful-resembling, that is, the result of a
primary vaccination so closely as scarce
ly to be distinguished from it; and the
remaining two-thirds being more or less
modified, or failing entirely. In con-
nection with these facts, the statement
is also made that the distinguished En-
glish vaccinators-Dr Marson, in 40,-
900 vaccinations DR.. Sverse, in as
many more; Sir William Jenner, in the
cases of $4,000 sick children and adults
in London; and DR.. West of the Chill
dren's Hospital, as to the $4,000 chill
dren-all concur by saying that they
have never seen any other disease than
that of vaccination communicated with
the vaccine.

SMALL ARIsTocRAcY.-W Women are
the most absurd creatures, all owing to
the silly fancy that it is lady-like to be
a loafer. A little time ago one of my
small busy housekeeper friends asked
a lady loafer caller what had become of
her sister.
"She goes down town every day,
now," says the lady loafer, hesitatingly.
"Is she at work ;" inquired the
housekeeper.
"Well, ye-yes," said the lady loaf
er, still more hesitatingly.
"What does she do:" inquired my
friend.
The lady loafer stammered, and back
ed off painfully two or three times, and
finally made clean breast of it, thus ::
"She-she-she has charge of the
trimmings in dress-making estab-
lishment. She has nothing to do with
the dress-making. She has charge of
the trimmings. It's not a common
dress-making establishment. It's one
of the fashionable dress-makers. She
won't make dress for poor person."
"Oh. glory! Fan me with a cab
bage leaf" quoth my friend, the small,
busy housekeeper.
The idea of body's maker set
ting herself to be "highstoocracy."-

THE MONKEY AND THE GAIA
playful assistant to a fshmonger, with
basket of crabs on his arm, took it
into his head, while passing the mon-
keys house in the Jardin des Plantes,
Paris, the other day, that it would be
amusing to give crab to one of the
monkeys which held out its "hand :"
through the wires of its cage. The
animal, we are told, looked at it curl
ously, then raised it to his mouth. The
crab, hitherto inert, now recovered its
self-possession, and took hold of the
monkeys nose between its large claws.
The other, with piercing cry, rushed
to the roof of the building, clinging to
a cord. The crab continued to main
tain its hold, the monkey frantically
endeavoring to tear it away. Weary of
the struggle, he suspended himself to
bar by the tail, and swung violently to
and fro, hoping thus to throw off his
enemy, the other apes sitting below on
the ground looking on with astonish-
ment at the strange spectacle. Sud-
denly the poor animal became notion
less. He was, an eyewitness suggests,
thinking, and his reflections, we are
told, were of melancholy character,
as they ended in suicide, He let go
the bar to which he had been suspend
ed, and. falling head : foremost, was
killed instantly, his nose still in the
claws of his prosecutor.

SHAKsPEARE's PERsoNALITY.-Mod
science more and more confirms the cor
rectness cf Shakspeare's descriptions.
Of the poets physical appearance there
are so few authentic items of informa-
ton extant, that their consideration is
more a source of aggravation than of
qualification to the thoughtful observer
of character. Even the portraits which
are circulated as representing him owe
much of their contour and lineament to
the artists imagination. We feel that
there is more of realism for our consid-
Grafton of Shakspeare's mental organi-
zation in his dramatic conceptions, and
here and there we grasp peculiarities of
temperament and disposition and intel
lect which seem to bear the impress of
his own personality-to be portraitures
rejecting his own individuality. For
instance, we are disposed to accept
Hamlet as in many respects resembling
Shakespeare. There is such warmth of
manner, such a deep human philosophy,
and such grandeur of soul, illumining
even the errors and blemishes which
show the human side of the character,
that we feel that Shakespeare identified
himself designedly or unconsciously
with this great creation, and made Ham
let to think and act and speak as Shaks-
peare would have done in such line of
circumstances as those which compassed
the Prince of Denmark. Prom The

CULTIVATION OF THE MIND.-to the
farmer we would say, fertillze your
mind as well as your land, that the
plough may be driven over and through
it. The gliding of wheels is easier and
rapider, but only makes it harder and
more barren. Above all, in the present
age of light reading-that is, of read
ing hastily, thoughtlessly, indiscrimi-
nately, unfruitfully when most books
are forgotten as soon as they are finish
ed, and very many sooner, it is well if
something heavier is cast into the midst
of the literary public. This may
scare and repel the weak it will rouse
and attract the stronger, and increase
their strength by making them exert it.
Remember, that in the sweat of the
brow is the mind, as well as the body,
to eat its bread.

THE city of Pekin abounds with
doves, which are profitable to the own
ers as food. Formerly they were prey
ed upon by vultures, which are SO ex-
ceedingly numerous, also, that it would
have been literally impossible to have
protected the pigeons against the exter-
minating warfare of a cruel enemy had
not a lucky mechanical contrivance
been devised for their security. The
Chinese make small whistles that give
a shrill sound held against the wind,
which are fastened to the tails of the
birds just as they are ready to be wean-
ed. Fly which way they may, the little
organ pipe screams Justify without i'm
peding the bearers; for go as they
choose-the swifter the better for the
whistle they frighten their old vaga-
bond destroyers prodigiously, which
flee as fast as their wings will carry
them when they hear an approaching
whistle. Is this science or art To

EVERLASTING FENCE PosTs.-sI dis
covered many years ago that wood could
be made to last longer than iron in the
ground, but though, the process so
simple and inexpensive that it was not
worth while making any stir about it.
l would as soon have poplar, Eastwood
or quaking ash as any other kind of
timber or fence posts. l have taken
out Eastwood posts after having been set
seven years, that were as sound when
taken up as when they were first put in
the ground. Time and weather SEEM
ed % have no effect on them. The posts
ca be prepared for less than two cents
apiece.
For the benefit of others, 1 will give
.he recipe: Take boiled linseed oil
and stir it in pulverized charcoal to the
consistency of paint. Put a coat of
this over the timber, and there is not a
man that will live to see it rotten" -

A WESTERN paper gives a startling
account of the punishment of train
wrecker. The engineer and fireman
caught him and kept him under guard
on the engine, which was soon got on
the track and under way. While speed
ing along, the engineer picked up a
round stick of wood, and struck the
criminal a stunning blow on the head.
He then caught the quivering form of
the wretch. and, opening the furnace
doors, threw his body into the hot,
seething flames. The doors were shut.
the train ratified along, and never. until
the engineer confessed the act upon his
death bed, was it ascertained what had
been the fate of the fiend who had been
in the habit of throwing the train off
the track.

IT is telegraphed all the way from
Augusta that quite large number of
the members of the Legislature attend
ed church last Sunday, where they were
politely cared for and shown the most
approved styles of contribution boxes.
1t was little too bad to greet their un-
accustomed presence at church in this
way, as it may discourage their praise

A STORY for CHILDREN.-A friend
of mine told me a story little while
ago which interested me SO much that
/ want to tell it to all my little friends.
This gentleman owned fine horse.
which was very fond Of him, and would
come from the pastures at the sound OF
his voice, and followed him round like
a dog. Well, at one time the horse
became lame and was obliged to stay IN
his stable and not be used for many
weeks, and it was during this time that
Mr.. B. became interested to see how
much the horse knew and how kind his
sympathies were. An old cat made her
nest upon the scaffold just above the
horses manger, and had there laid her
little family of five kittens, to bring
them up under her good tuition l sup
pose.
She and the horse got on nicely for
some days. She jumped down into his
manger and went off for food, and then
came back and leaped up to her kittens
again. But one morning she rolled OFT
into the manger, with her foot bleeding
and badly hurt, so that she could scarce
ly crawl; but she managed to leap
away on three feet and get her break
fast; but when she came back she was
entirely unable to get up to her kittens,
and what do you think she did? She
sat down at the horses feet, and new
ed and looked up several times, till at
last pony took the cat in his teeth, and
tossed her up on the scaffold to her kit
tens, who l doubt not, were glad enough
to see her.
This, Mr. C. told me, he saw repeat
ed morning after morning. Kit would
roll off into the manger, 60 and get her
breakfast, come back and be tossed up
to her family by the kind horse, who
must have understood cat language and
been willing to listen to it.
