WAR INCIDENTS.

In his Report of the Operations OF tho
Army Of the Shenandoah" General Sheridan,
in speaking of MOsby partisan rangers, says:
Upon one occasion, IN afterterucon in the
last days OF Angus when our army had halted
and got into position for the night near
Charlestowu, aud while under the strictest
orders to be ready to form. line and f sht
battle at moments notice, one of our SOL
ders was wounded By guerrilla, who de-
liberate!y rode up within rod of line OF
stacked arms, fred his carbiue at a knot Of
mar l"Enging about. and gallnn.1I off before
musket could be brought to bear upon him.
Nobody lad thought Of taking him for any
other than stray cavalryman from one of
Clusters regiments, or an orderly from head
quarters until astonished By his shot and cs-
cape. 1t was about this time that General
Emory had q very narrow escape from capture
By these mersuders. His headquarter teuts
were being put up for the night, when a dozen
horsemen rode rapidly through the enclosure,
discharging their carbiues right and left, and
disappeared before the sstouished officer in
command of the headquarters infantry could
get his company under arcas. The guerrilIas
took no prisoners aud the- shots hurt no one.
l presume the whole thing was a piece of
Geyil>may>care reckIessness, without any OBJ
ject except to ''show off," But had they
known that they were passing within few
yards Of where the Major General who COM
manded oue-third of this army was lying, no
doubt they would have made a desperate
effort to take him.

Unlimited Remedial Resources.

People sometimes suppose that DR.. Piorco's
family medicines represent the entire extent
Of his resources for curing disease. This In an
error. Experience proved that while the Col
den Medical Discovery, Favorite Prescription,
Pleasant Pnrgative Pellets, Compound Extract
Of smart Weed, AMI DR.. ssge's Catarrh Rome
dy, would, II faithfully used, cure a largo
hero and there case which, from it, severity,
or from It's complication with other disorders,
would roeist their action. These exceptional
cases required 3 thorough examination into
their symptoms, to ascertain the exact nature
and extent of the disease or diseases under
which the patient was laboring, and the use Of
specific remedies to meet and overcome the
same. This led to the establishment of tho
Worlds Dispensary, ct Buffalo, N. y, with its
whom IL skilled in the treatment Of chronic
disorders in general and those belonging TO
his own special department In particular. To
one ia assigned diseases of the throat and
lungs; to another, diseases Of the kidneys and
urogenitsl organs to another, diseases OF tho
digestive system to another, diseases OF the
nervous system and to another, diseases Of
the eye and ear. Thus the highest degree OF
perfection in medicine and surgery IL attained.
The establ shment Of this institution enables
the doctor to meet long felt want In the treat
ment of the more severe chronic affections,
By careful consideration of the symptoms as
given in writing, he successfully treats thou
sands of cases at their homes. Others visit
the dispensary in person. The amplest re-
sources for the treatment Of lingering affec-
tions are thus placed at the disposal OF every
patient, and those on whom the proprietary
medicines do not have the desired effect can
procure more thorough and efficient course
by personal application to the proprietor Of
the Worlds Dispensary.

A Timely Hint.

The Philadelphia Times says: II
would be well for everybody who has
to do with the accommodation or the
transportation of visitors to the exhibit
ton to recollect that first impressions
are the most lasting, and that the scale
of prices which the earliest visitors find
in force will be that by which they and
all others will measure the cost OF
coming to the show. 1t will be of no
service to'reduce the prices afterward,
as the experience Of Vienna made
sufficiently plain. As mere matter of
policy, it would be better to make all
prices low at first and raise them after
ward, though better still to keep them
down all the time. This applies to
hotels and lodging houses, to railway
and cab companies, to shopkeepers, to
everybody. 1t will be easy to kill the
goose before it has laid any of the golden
eggs we are expecting from it, and i'm
possible, by any means, to bring it to
life again. And the rule applies also to
the railroad companies who are to bring
guests to the city. 1t is of the utmost
importance to them that travel to and
from Philadelphia this summer have
every encouragement, and it would be
wise policy for them to make special
rates for Centennial excursions if only
for the first month or two. If the
stream be once started toward the exhi-
bition it will continue to flow, but some
inducement will be required to start it,
and this is altogether in the railroad
companies hands to offer or to withhold.
Furthermore, whatever is to be done
must be done at once, for people are al
ready forming their plans for the sum.
mer, and this is the time to attract them
here. .LH4--.- LII

An Entire Brick,

Up in Burton, N. H., lived family
of Bricks. Uriah Brick was the father,

excellent people they were. As the old
est boy grew up bright and intelligent,
the father, who had done we'll in the
way of raising and selling cattle, deter

over to Fryeburg academy, not many

"Ah-'um-yes," muttered the pro-

But that lesson was not q very profit

The Brazilian Wedding Hoax.

Some months ago an account of o
brilliant wedding in Brazil was printed
in a journal in this country and widely
copied. 1t was apparently a veracious
report and represented DE Souza
Cabral, of Diamentine, Brazil" as one
of the richest and most extravagant men
in the world. In a short time begging
letters addressed to this mythical
character begun to accumulate in the
New York post-office, and when this
was announced in the newspapers the
author of the hoax asked the post-office
department to order their delivery to
him. This request Postmaster General
Jewell has refused in letter in which
he says:
"The letters have all been opened in
the dead letter Office and returned to
the writer's. These letters averaged
twenty a week from the New York Office
alone, and probably as many more from
the other exchange offices. The writer's
represented every condition in life; but
while all parts of the Union were we'll
represe nted, the South furnished the
largest contingent. With Characteristic
directness, the gifts or loans asked were
usually large, while in one instance the
writer of the letter would have been
grateful for sufficient amount to p lr-
chase sewing machine. This was the
smallest sum asked for. Sons of aged
and infirm parents, clergymen, invalids,
men who had failed in business, all with
the same childlike faith, looked to the
diamond king for relief, and seemed
confident that the trif1e thew asked
would be surely forthcoming. Many in
closed postage stamps for return post
age others inclosed photographs only
to have the clerks who returned. the let
tiers wonder at the credulity of the
writers, and wish they could tell them
to place more reliance upon their own
efforts than upon the liberality of
Others"
