A Strange Story, If True.

The following singular item we copy
from an exchange: The man who killed
more negroes during the war than any
other man was loyal Union soldier, one
of two brothers belonging to Michi-
gan regiment. At Yorktown negro
sharpshooter in the service of the Con-
federacy, perched in tree, picked off
one of the brothers, and, though the
negro was discovered a few minutes
later and shot by the Michigan boys,
the surviving brother swore eternal
vengeance upon the entire negro race,
and from that hour devoted himself to
it's determination. The exact number of
negroes put out of the way by this man
would be astonishing if it could be
known, and he was never once detected
in his murderous work by any one who
cared. to report him. Three of his sable
victims found grave in the Ohio, and
the soil of classic Jeffersonville drank
the blood of others, but he operated
wherever his regiment happened to be
stationed, silently and effectually putting
the objects of his hatred out of the way
as often as an opportunity offered. He
has never been punished, and may
even yet be carrying out the scheme of
vengeance he resolved upon at York
town.

"He showed me great kindness once,
fifteen years ago. was here, also, at
that time. You do not remember it2"
"It is very strange, but really, ma'am,
it has escaped my recollection" ."
"Quite likely. 1t was before my
marriage" And with this the landlord
was forced to be satisfied.
The sale was over, and John Mallory
was wandering from room to room,
taking a mute farewell of the house
which he could no longer call his own,
when his little daughter came to say
that lady was in the parlor who had
asked for him.
every well," said he, supposing it to
some neighbor who wished to see HIM
on trifing matter of business; but
when he opened the door a stranger
stood before him.
She greeted him courteously, and then
said, without any circumlocution:
I" I am the purchaser of your farm,
and have brought the deed, that you
| may see IL IL is all r1gnt.
He took it istlessly enough, but as he
glanced over it his countenance changed.
'tI don't understand" +" said he, and no
wonder, for the deed was made out in
his own name.
$50 you, too, have forgotten me, as
well as the big landlord up there; but
maybe you will remember that" and she
held out queer little purse of netted
silk"
John Mallory fixed his startled gaze
upon her face, and something in the
lustrous eyes, the smiling mouth,
touched long-silent chord of memory.
She saw it, and answering his look, said:
eyes, I am Estelle Leroy, and the
same Providence which sent you to me
in my despair has sent me to you in your
time of sorrow. No thanks, John NAL
lory. I do no more than requite your
kindness to me, and hardly that SO
keep the deed, I pray you. But the
little purse, with that I will never part. +"
She then told him that within two or
three years after returning to Canada,
she had married an Englishman of rank,
and had been in Europe most of the
time since; but that, being now on a
tour through "the States" they had
come out of their way to visit those who
had befriended her in her need.
"The dear mother is gone, I hear
but the pretty Marie, she is well?"
my wife is well, and will come her
self and thank you for your great good
ness"
"Not tonight ; not tonight but to-
morrow Sir Edward will come with me,
and we will talk it all over-the past and
the present. He knows it all, and he
will say the thanks are due from our
selves, not you"
And in this she proved a true prophet.

Decline of Silver.


The recent action of several European
governments in making gold instead of
silver the basis of currency has made
silver relatively very much cheaper.
Germany has $500, 100000 of silver coin
to sell, and Belgium and Holland will
probably put another million in the
market. Eastern exchanges have also
been latterly very low in London, there
by limiting the shipment of silver to
India and China, and there has been an
immense increase in the quantity of sill
yer mined during the last few years.
These facts furnish an easy explanation
of the news that silver has deprecated
in Europe fifty-five pence to the pound.
Now, this gives us the prospect of a
speedy substitution of silver for paper
in the United States, in accordance with
the provisions of the Sherman bill. The
premium on silver is apparently about
to disappear here, and as soon as this
result is reached we shall see the speedy
disappearance of our fractional paper
currency, and the temperance of the
silver coins that have been in hiding
since the war.

Nervous Excitement.

One dreadful form of nervous excite
ment very prevalent among all cases of
society is that which is commonly called
i" "dipsomania. A weak tendency to
drink becomes an insane tendency. We
are especially liable to it at the present
time, because SO many Of us are over
wrought. Our actors, our orators, our
commercial men, can hardly keep up the
nervous energy required to go through
with their, work and so they take alcohol
to get up the steam of the mind. We be-
lieve, writes physician, if man has to
90 through a certain amount of bodily
work he will do it better if he takes
a little stimulant. In cases of mental
strain, the freer he keeps from stimu-
liant the better. Let him always eat
something when he drinks. Let him
drink as little stimulant possible as a
rule; let him substitute coffee or cocoa
for spirits and wine, and he will be
fresher for work and last out better.
The body is tough machine, but You
must treat it fairly; and so OF the mind
1T is usually tough enough, but you
can upset it. We beseech you, workers,
to watch yourselves, especially in this
matter of taking stimulants. But what
shall we say of the pleasure-makers
Young people should enjoy themselves
if enjoyment comes innocently. But
what do we see constantly9 We see
young people whose susceptibilities are
keenly alive to everything that comes
from without, fresh and healthy young
girls of seventeen and eighteen, at par
ties and balls, who really require no
stimulant, or the least possible amount
Ia little wine and water at most. Well,
these young girls drink champagne at
intervals, glass after glass; they do no
know how much they do drink. They
have not been cautioned. 1t is over
excitability; it is thoughtlessness. But
it is like throwing vitriol upon roses to
apply such an amount of ttimulant to
young, healthy bodies. A little thought
would instantly set all this right.

The Inkstand Of independence Hall.

Mr.. John A. Smull, in sending the
independence inkstand to the mayor
of Philadelphia to be placed with other
relics for the Centennial, writes as fol-
lows concerning its authenticity: In
the year 1S49 there was placed in my
custody small silver tray, containing
an ink and sand holder of the same ma
terial. At that time tradition held that
this was the inkstand used by the Presi-
dent of the Continental Congress at the
time the Declaration of American Inde-
pendence was signed. I took great in
terest to obtain as much information
as was possible to establish its identity,
and made inquiries on the subject during
several years succeeding 1849, from then
aged public men, and the result of my
Investigations resulted in convincing me
of the identity of this one with that
used by the first Congress. The late
venerable Thomas Fl. Burrows, after
wards superintendent of common
schools, told me that he had made
minute inquiries regarding this stand
many years previously, and that he had
no doubt that it was the same that held
the ink used by the signers of the Decla-
ration. The late Hon. Thomas Nicholson,
who will be remembered as q man who
required the most positive and conclu-
sive evidence to convince his mind, was
an enthusiastic believer in the fact that
this was the independence inkstand. %
One incident will show how much he
felt on the subject. When Harrisburg
was threatened by the rebel army in
1868 he came personally to me and said:
eff the rebels come into Harrisburg be
sure and hide in a safe place inde-
pendence inkstand.'" This inkstand
has been in my custody uninterruptedly
ever since 1S49, and can vouch for it
being the one referred to by the gentle
men I have named. 1t was used very
many years prior to 1849 by speakers of
the House of Representatives have
been particular in thus establishing its
identity in order that others who may
have information regarding it, from
1776 to 1849, may be assured that this
is the same one used to my certain
knowledge at that period by the speak
ers of the House, and reputed to be the
independence inkstand."
This invaluable and authenticated
relic consists of a silver tray, with a sand
box in the middle and an inkholder on
each side. 1t was made by Philip Syng,
silversmith, and cost EOS 15s.
