A Hero of 1919.

During the war of 1912 at Havre de
Grace, Notifications or earthworks were
thrown up, and one old rusty cannon
was mounted with its muzzle dcGantly
staring the British squadron in the face,
causing the male and female patriots of
Havre de Grace to feel courageous and
defiant. AS soon as the British forces
landed and formed on the beach every
defender, male and female, made bee
line for the interior. Only one man
stood his ground; this was a sturdy Irish
man named John O'Neil. He stood by
the old gun heroically, got sweeping
range of the approaching British line,
touched off his cannon, and heels over
head went John O'Neil, forty yards or
more, by the old lannon's recOil. Moth
ing daunted, he gathered himself up,
seized two old muskcts and kept up re-
treating fire upon his pursuers He was
overtakcn and had to surrender to over
whelming numbers and superior artillery.
He was taken on board the Admiral's ship
and when confronted by Admiral Cock
burn and asked where he was born, he
replied, in his rich Irish brogue, "In
Philadelphia, place yer homer, was in
dade, by the holy st. Patrick, and yer
homer can ask Patrick O'Mulligan or
Father O'Lcary; indadc, indade." He
was made prisoner and afterwards ex-
changed, and lived many years in the
town he so bravely defended, respected
and loved, and known as John ONeil,
the hero of Havre de Grace.-Baltimore

Reasons for Drinking.

Old Sambo Shute, long since gone
across the dark valley, was a worthy man
in his way, and genial withal; but Sambo
would occasionally get very drunk. One
day his employer took him to task, and
read him lecture, at the close of which
he asked him if he didn't think he could
do better in the future.
"Don'o, mas'r," said the darkey,
scratching his head.
"But what do you think %
"Well, mas'r, Ps afear'd l tink not"
"Sambo, what do you mean? DO you
mean that you will not try?"
Twouldn't be no use, mas'r. Fact is,
twas born in me. Rum is my nat'ral
drink. Yer see, afore l was born, my
father and mother were bof bought on
de coast of Africa, an paid for in run'.".
This is about equal to the excuse of the
old fellow i'm New Hampshire bar-room.
1t was eleven o'clock in the forenoon,
and number of thirsty ones had en-
tered the tavern for their beverage; and
they all offered an excuse for thus in
dulging. One said he had pain in his
side; another had touch of the collie /;
another had a severe cold; and 30 on,
and so on. At length red-faced old
Trojan stumped up to the bar, having
listened to the excuses of the others,
and said he:
"Say, ole hoss, give us glass of old
Jamaica, stiff. My old woman 5 goin' to
have Goldfish for dinner, and salt Goldfish
alters makes me d,yp'

Siamese SOyereigns.

Plenty of European monarchies have
dOuble-headed eagle as their heraldic
devices, but double-headed sovereignty
is, we believe, known only to Siam-un-
less, indeed, according to Governor Park
er's doctrine, Uncle Sam, like Siam,
sports adouble-headed sovereignty, name
ly both of State and nation. However
this may be Siam, like Uncle Sam, has
lately found that one of its alleged SOW
ereigns is q sovereign only on sufferance,
and, in direct issue with the other SOW
ereign, has had to 60 to the wall. A
London dispatch announces that rup-
ture has occurred between the first and
second Kings of Siam, who are father
and son respectively. The latter took
refuge in the British consulate at Bang
kok has disbanded his forces, and de-
clines to appeal to arms. Without I'M
derstanding the merits of the contro-
versy, we should say, on general princi-
pie, that this pacific conduct of the ST.
amese son was exceedingly fine, filial and
sensible, but not at all sovereign" Per-
haps the result of the strange incident
will be to overthrow the dual character
of the Siamese Government, making it
real monarchy. 1t will be remembered
that conflict between the mikado and
the tycoon of Japan resulted, only few
years ago, in like overthrow of the ex-
ira functionary, leaving a single sover-
eign power. Siamese twins are all wei.
enough except in the way of Govern
ment, but then, if both are sovereign,
and they happen to quarrel, whose be-
hests shall the subject obey? One SOW
ereign is enough for one country.

A Distressing Occurrence In Missouri.

A Distressing Occurrence In Missouri.
Mr. Robert Whelan resides about five
miles from a place called Martinsville,
in Harrison County. He had two chill
dren, a boy aged ten, and girl aged
eight On Friday morning the children
started to school, the school-house being
situated about mile and half south
westwardly. The day threatened to be
stormy, but no apprehensions were en-
tertained for the safety of the little folks.
They reached the school-house in safety,
and remained there during the day.
About halfpast 4 o'clock they started
homeward. The shadows of night were
gathering around, and the fierce blast
from the northwest sent the snow driving
into their faces, completely binding
them. Just how they lost their way will
never be known. They failed to reach
home at the usual hour, and the parents
started in search of them. Failing in
their efforts, neighbors were summoned,
and all through the night the search was
continued. At 8 o'clock next morning
the little ones were found, frozen to
death! Tired, probably, with wander
ing around, they had sought shelter in a
rayine, and, overcome with fatigue, went
to sleep never to wake again. When
found the body of the little girl was
partly covered with the blue jeans coat
of her brother. Even when suffering in
tensely with the cold, the brave little
fellow, although but a child himself, was
mindful of the child who was still
younger and weaker.
The bodies were taken to the house OF
the heart-stricken parents. and were
buried on Sunday. An immense con.
course of sympathizing friends attended
the funeral, and touching discourse was
delivered by Elder Warner.-S. DO
Herald.

Force OF Electrical Discharges.

The theory that the splitting of the
trunks of trees by lightning is the re-
suit of the sudden evaporation of the
liquids contained within them has re-
ceived much confirmation from expert
mcnts made by Osborn Reynolds, who
succeeded in splitting small sticks of
wood by passing the electric spark
through them. after they had been i'm
pregnated with water. He also burst
small glass tubes which were filled with
water, although the same tubes when
empty allowed the electric spark to jump
through them without in the least dis
turbing them. The most striking exper-
iment made by him was upon tube
three-eighths of an inch exterior and
One-eighth interior diameter, which could
stand pressure of at least two hundred
atmospheres to the square inch; this
tube was fourteen inches long, and bent
at "a right angle. A very large electric
flash being sent through the tube it was
split by the first discharge, and the
pieces thrown to a distance of several
feet. The inner surface of the tube was,
in fact, completely pulverized, as though
it had been struck by hammer. Mr..
Reynolds estimates that the pressure
must have been more than one thousand
atmospheres.
