Mysterious Disappearance and Reap
pearance.

WM. HENRY MCCooL is the name of Il
St Paul boy who enlisted in 1862 in Com
pany X, the Tenth Minnesota Infantry.
After three years of faithful service
Henry turned up missing after one of the
fights in which the regiment was en-
gagged, and, circumstances seeming to
bear out the supposition, he was reported
dead. Thus matters stood till Aug. II,
1872, when nothing having been discov-
cred to discredit the reported death of
Henry, his mother, Mrs. Sarah McCool,
of this city, called at the house
of General Flower, AdJutant-Gcneral
of the State, and made the reg
ular application for the bounty
due her son. The papers went through
the regular routine with no opposition,
the evidence of death furnished being
satisfactory to the powers that be ut
Washington. A slight clerical error
caused the return of the papers to Gen.
Flowers Office for correction, reaching
here few days ago, and yesterday,
when the papers were ready to be sent
back to Washington, Mrs. McCool ap-
| peared and introduced to Gen. Flower
the identical Henry for whose death she
had so long mourncd Neither mother
| nor son vouchsatcd any explanation of
the long absence of the latter, but that
no fraud was intended upon the Govern
ment is shown in the prompt appearance
| OF the long-miSSIng son so soon after his
| arrival here. 1t is one of those strange
disappcarances and reappcaranceS of
| which the late war furnished many in
stances, and in connection with which
there is probably Il history that would
| supply the details for frst-clasS ro
mance.-!St. Pant tNtHH.) DiSpath.

THE Continenta5 Herald gave an ac-
count the other day of the opening of Il
Russian chapel erected in the Canton of
Tessin by II Baron whom the local papers
call "a Russian Cropsus." 1t seems that
this gentleman has become SO entranced
by the scenery at Lugano that he has re-
solved on building il magnificent chateau
in the ncighborhood. The building will
cost 5000, 600 francs, the decorations
100000 francs, and the furniture about
as much more; but this will be but
bagatelle to the owner, as the TesSinois
journals say he has an annual income OF
over 10,000,000 francs. They set down
his cHt0urage as thirty Russian servants,
sixteen Russian and Swedish singers and
sixty musicians, who cost him alone 150,-
600 francs n year. In order to crafty
further his musical tastes Il celebrated
prima donna is engaged occasionally for
his exclusive enjoyment, and by way OF
keeping his orchestra in practice the
members of it are obliged to play at II
certain hour each day throughout the
year, although in the absence of NJ. lie
Baron there is not IL single auditor. The
Baron is said to have sumptuous pal
aces" at Paris, Vienna and Nice; TO have
made his money by speculations in Rus
sian railways; to change every two years
all his personnel and even his acquaint
anccs, and to ignore completely his rcla-

4 Blind King.

THE blind King of Hanover has re
turned to Paris to have another look at
the art treasures of the city, for, although
an indefatigable si@ht-seer when with US
ii year ago; he could not get through all
there was to be seen. This may seem an
odd way of speaking of IL blind man, but
there is not much exaggeration about it,
King George sees with the eyes of his
daughter, who has faculty possessed
by few. With her father upon her arm
she enters museum or any public place
and begins IA conversation in IA low, run
ming voice, giving, in few words IA gen
cral idea of the room and of the people
in it, then going into details rs they 90
on. The King enters like man with
good eyes, and, when on his daughters
arm, never fails to return the salutcs
addressed to him from whatever direc-
tlon they may come. 1t is evident,
therefore, that there is some system of
telegraphy known to the two, and from
long habit the King has become so ex-
pert that he rarely makes mistake At
soiree he is led up to the host or
hostess, bows at the right moment, and
goes through the ceremony with all the
ease of a man who can see. He even
pays most~zuncxpectedly compliments,
when the daughter, without saying IA
word, telegraphs that lady is young
and beautiful; and when surprise is eX-
pressed King George calamity replies
that he sees with his soul. When | saw
him at the Louvre / longed for an op-
portunity to hear what the Princess
said as they went from picture to
picture, the King looking intently upon
the wall, but could hear nothing but a
low hum too indistinct to be compre-
hended by ears less attentive than those
of her father. Her language cannot be
understood by others, even when not Z
spoken with the usual rapidity. 1t is
very touching to see the love and devo-
ton of this young Princess.-Paris Letter.

Eating Forbidden Fruit.

NOTHING exhibits more clearly the ne
ccssity of resisting the beginning of evil
than contemplation of the ruin and
misery men bring upon themselves. 1t
is vainly imagined in youth that time
and opportunities once lost may be re
covered ut will, and that, after having
INDUCED in "a course of folly, IA man may
turn to virtue and welldoing when he
pleascs. This fallacy leads many impcr-
ccptibly from step To step IN the down
ward and trcaChcrouS steep of vice, till
reason and conscience are alike unhccdcd,
and there is ultimately no effort, because
there Is no inclination, to return. We do
not moan To say that there are not many
with strength of mind and purpose who
rcsoiutcIy abandon evil courses and live
exemplary lives, but they are So rare as
To- offer no induccmcnt to follow their cN-
amplcs, and only serve to show us how
desperate Is the risk they run. Giving
way tu sinful courses has been aptly
compared to being carried forward by II
current swiftly, easily pleasantly-it is

Scientific Information.

If you know of anybody who wears
false hair it may be judicious to mention
to them that Prof. Lindcman announces
that he has discovered in the hair sold ut
the stores "little nodosites collected in
colonies of about fifty psorospcrms which
are sometimes spherical and sometimes
tiattened into diScOids. When heat is
appliedthey are transformed into pseudo
navicell;p or fuslform corpusCles." Other
people may do as they please, but as for
myself / would rather pass onward down
the vista of the years, beyond the purple
boundaries of youth and into the serene
placidity of passionless old age as bald
as a watermelon than to frisk about with
nodosites and fusiform corpuscles in my
hair. This information will be valuable
for the purpose of detecting persons who
wear purchased trcsseS. When ! go to
church now and see discoid psorosperms
playing their little pranks upon the heads
OF the woman in the pew in front of me.
| will know that her coitfure is Il base
capillary fraud, and when | see ii spheri-
cal MODESTO parading around the rim of
a mans hat | will have sufficient evil
dence that the man wears Il delusive
wig. The Indians ought to know about
this, for then, when one dashes up to II
woman with Il tomahawk in his hand, IL
knife in his teeth, death in his eye, and
a ycarning for scalpS in his heart, Il
glimpse of il pseudo naviccll;r balancing
itself on its hind legs on that woman s

Did Not Take the Prize.

OUR county fair is just over; but John
sons Cotswold ram did not take the
prize that was offered for the best ami
nal of that kind. Judge Pitman was
Chairman of the Committee on Rams, and
he. manifested the deepest interest in
.lohnson's ram; indicating clearly that if
any sheep ought to take IA prize that one
ought to. Johnson's ram was by itself
in Il pen with ii high board fence, and be-
fore adjudicating the prizes the Judge
thought he had better go in and make IA
close examination of the animal for the
purpose of ascertaining the fineness of
its wool, etc. As soon as the Judge
reached the interior he walked toward
the ram, whereupon the ram began to
lower its head and to shake it ominously.
Just as the Judge was about to feel the
fleece the ram leaped forward and
planted its head in the Judges stomach,
rolling him over on the ground. Before
the Judge had time to realize what had
happened the ram came at him again
and began a series of promiScuous butts,
each given with the precision and force
of pile driver. 1t butted the Judge on
the back, on the ribs, on his arms, on his
shoulder-b blades, on the bald place on his
head, on his breast, or his shins; it
butted his nose, it butted his watch into
il mass of loose cog-wheels, it butted his
spectacles. off, it butted his high hat into
black-silk chaos; it butted him over into
the corner and up against the fence, then
it butted four boards out of the fence,
butted down another of the committee,
butted three small boys into fits, butted
the mOney-taker ut the gate, and then
fled out into the country, butting harm
lessly at the fresh air. The Judge did
not distribute the prizes that day. When
they collected him from various parts of
the pen, they wiped the mud from his
trowsers and the blood from his nose,
and sent him home with Il perennial
stomach-achc and "A determination to
