A Sad Story.

To DAY there is man going about the
streets of this city, ragged, dirty and pen
niless, subsisting on free lunches, and the
charities of gamblers, and has not slept in
a bed for months, who, during the war,
was one of the most dashing cavalry off,
GERS in the Union army, and was pro-
NOTED from the rank of First Lieutenant
to full Brigadier and Brevet Maior-Gen,
eral, for brilliant exploits on the field of
battle, and who for a long time had a
large and important command.
He has been here for two months, under
an assumed name, being ashamed to dim
the brilliancy of his record in the service
of his country by an exhibition of his
degradation under his former honored
name. He is generally very reticent,
having little to do with any one or talk
ing but little, save when "engineering''
for drink, at which he is remarkably
successful.
Night before last, while lying helpless
ly drunk in the rear part of a Third street
saloon, some men thought to play a joke
on him by stealing his shirt, and pro-
ceeded to strip him. Underneath his
shirt, and suspended by a string around
his neck, was a small canvas bag, which
the men opened and found it to con-
tain his commission as Brevet Major
General, two congratulatory letters, one
from Grant and one from President Lin
coin, photograph. OF little girl and a
curl of hair-a chestnut shadow" that
doubtless one day crept over the brow of
some loved one.
When these things were discovered,
even the half-drunken men who found
them felt respect for the mans former
greatness, and pity for his fallen condi-
ton, and quietly returned the bag and
contents to where they found them, and
replaced the sleeper's clothes upon him.
Yesterday Meas reporter tried to inter
view the man and endeavor to learn
something of his life in the past few years,
but he declined to communicate anything
He cried like child when told how his
right name and former position were as
certained, and, with tears trickling down
his cheeks, said: "For Gods sake, sir
don't publish my degradation, or my
name at least, il you are determined to
say something about it. 1t is enough
that know myself how low I have be-,
come. viii you promise that much? 1t

Pruning Injured Trees and Vines.

Mr.. M. B. Bateham, in the Northern
Ohio Journal, referring to the extent OF
the damage done to fruit during the
winter and the propriety of subsequent
pruning, says:
I'VE find much greater amount of in
jury than we at first supposed, done to
fruit trees and grape vines by the freez-
ing Tor thawing?) last month. 1t is
probable that many peach and cherry
trees arr entirely killed, and still more
will hay e to be cut back very severely.
But we advise the owners to let them
alone for month or two longer, till the
extent of the damage can be more clearly
seen. We have known peach trees to re-
cover when they seemed almost hopeless
ly ruined. All the varieties of grapes in
this region are injured somewhat, the
Concord least of any; but most of them
will, no doubt, recover, with only the loss
of part or all of the seasons crop, &C
cording to the extent of the killing of the
buds and young wood. Where these are
good deal injured, it is best to prune
quite se0erely, especially old vines and
such as have made large growth, cutting
out good share of the old wood, and
leaving the best new shoots that come
out nearest the ground, and shortening
these to foot or two in length, or even
less if the buds seem mostly dead. Then
after the new shoots have come out in
June any remaining dead wood can be cut
away"

BLAND BULLARD, a young man OF
Lebanon County, KY, committed suicide
three months ago, and three days before

to the paternal mansion, apparently fol-

had opposed his marriage. He comes al

which he is distinguished and recognized.

A woMAN's determination 10 part her

Bangor, Me, last week. The company
had all assembled, the clergyman was In
his place, and the groom proceeded up
stairs to escort his chosen one TO the
altar. The lady was splendidly dressed,
but in arranging hers hair had adopted
the ''new style" To this the young man
objected in the most decided terms, say.
ing that it looked too brazen and "fast;"
that the hair of bride should be parted
modestly in the middle, A sharp war of
words followed, which resulted In a dee,

that he had taken firm stand; that the
hair must be undressed or he would never
look upon 1t again. To this the girl re-

THE tender, loving wife of citizen of
Hartford, Conn, recently decided To give
her husband a present-just for q SUR

keep her secret and puzzle him, she
thought she would send it by express. So
she went to work, did this tender, loving
wife, and bought little box, and some
gunpowder, matches and sandpaper
These she put in the box, and with her
own tender, loving hands so arranged
them that when the box was opened, the
match would be scratched against the
sandpaper with the result that may be
imagined. This offering of wifely affec-
ton was duly sent and duly delivered; but
somehow it happened that the internal
machine didn't work, and the female is
trying to think, in the solitude of her
present abode, what was the matter

When the physical energies droop and the mind be-
comes lethargic it may be taken for granted that the
digestion is impaired and the liver derelict in its duty
Upon the condition of the stomach and liver depend
the condition of the blood, and upon the quality Of
that fluid depends the vigor of the body and the
pacty for brain labor 1t u.s. therefore, of the utmost
Importance to men engaged in active pursuits, who
are subject to attacks of bodily weakness and mental
stupor or indifference, to know from what they
can obtain immediate and permanent relief. The
tonic and anti-bious stimulating elements combined
in Hostetters Stomach Bitters peculiarly adapt that
genial preparation to of this kind. The rapid
ty with which it rouses the dormant powers of the
muscular and nervous system is marvellous. Acting
first upon the digestive organs. and through them
upon the fluids of the body, the nerves and the brain
it renovates refreshes and regulates not only the
corporal powers but the mind ITSELF AS debility and
its usual concomtant, mental torpor depression,
are often caused and where they already exist are
always aggravated, by the damp and variable wealth
prevalent in the spring months, persons of feeble
stamina and weak nerves should go througha course
of this agreeable stimulant at this season, and In
deed would derive great advantage from taking it
at least once day throughout the year.

DR. Carr, of California, gives it as his
belief that every dollar of gold that has
been produced in that State has costfrom
a dollar to dollar and a half. He assumes
that so, 900 people are engaged in gold
mining in the State. Estimating wages
So. 80 per day, and the number of work
ing days at 800, the wages of the miners
would amount to $37, 100000 But the
gold product for 1872 was only $40, 000,-
900. From this it follows that every dol
lar mined in 1872 cost one dollar and sew
en- -eighths. Allowing for the interest on
capital invested, the estimate of cost
would be raised to two dollars for every
dollar of gold produced.
