VOLUME 4.

Of father, mother and sister, were violent |
sympathizers with the South. His father |
entered the Confederate army as an offic- |
er early in the war The son could not
go with him and fight against his prin-
ciples, nor could he stay at home and
brook the taunts and pleadings Of his
mother and sister; nor could he join the
Federal army and fight against his faith
er, 80 he left his home and wandered
to the mines on the Pacific slope. His
home was at the center of hostilities,
and all communication cut off. At the
close ofthe war he went back to Tennes-
see, and what was once his home was
now desolation. The neighbors told
him his father had been killed in one of
the early battles, his mother had died
a3d his sister had married rebel officer
whose name was not remembered, and
all trace of her had been lost. The old
plantation had been cenfscated and there
was not a single tie left TO bind him to
the past. He spent some months in
search of his sister without result, and
finally, homeless, and with disposition
that shrank from fellowship with men,
he went back to his old home in the
noun tains to spend the rest of weary
life. From 1865 to 1872 he was in the
mines Of Colorado and Montana, and
hunting and trapping along the streams
of the great Northwest, being employs ed
occasionally by the Government to do
some work for which ordinary men were
too cowardly or too incompetent.
He was short, stocky man, with a
little stopping of the shoulders, and a
way OF carrying his head bent forward
with his eyes upon the ground. He had
a shrinking blue eye, very handsome
mouth, and forehead on which you
could trace the blue veins, as you can
trace them on the forehead of woman
He was full-bearded, but neither the
growth of hair nor the marks of expos
ure had effacted the lines of beauty
from his face. His manner was unob
trusive and gentle, and his voice was a.
soft and tender as a woman's tones. Hs
was a man that horses and dogs loved
instinctively on first acquaintance; whom
men respected, although he was neve
fathomed by his wisest friends. He hat
fought whole tribe of Indians singh
handed, people said, although no one ev
err learned of an exploit from his owl
, lips. He never learned the necessity o
swearing, never told story, never smok
> ed pipe or cigar before a camp fred
and never drank any liquor.

About Your Pulse.

Every person should know how 10 as
certain the state of the pulse; then, by
comparing it with what it is when he is
ailing, he may have some idea of the
urgency of his case. Parents should
know the healthy pulse of each child,
since now and then a person is born
with peculiarly slow or fast pulse, and
the very case in hand may be of such
peculiarity. An infants pulse is 140; a
child of seven about, 80 and from TWEEN.
ty to sixty years it is 20 beats minute
declining to go at four-score. A health
full grown person's beats 70 times, de-
clining to go at four-score. At sixty, il
the pulse always exceeds 70, there is q
disease, the machine working itself out
there lie fever or Inflammation some
where, and the body is feeding ON itself
% In consumption, when the pulss 4

Danger of Rushing Things.
Reading lPa.l Eagle.

The officer at the hearing was about
to add the charge of vagrancy, when
the prisoner said "Hold on, hold on,
don't you go that far. I've, been citi-
zen of Reading twenty five years and
Pm no vagrant." The officer then test
flied that for the past five years he had
picked the prisoner out of the gutter
time and again, and that he believed
the prisoner WAS out of work and had
no regular home. "Hold on, hold on,
thatll do; don't 60 any further" said
the man. "Well, if you're vagrant,"
said the Mayor, "we might send you
up for thirty days. Has he got any
money to pay his fine, Chief" Eighty
CENTS" said the Chief. "That is not
enough" continued the Mayor, "and l
guess We'll have to" "Hold on, hold
on, your Honor" said the prisoner,
"don't be in too much of hurry.
Don't be too sudden about this thing
Well see about so cents"
The man then stuck his left hand un.
der his vest and drew out roll of green
backs as thick as his wrist. "What dc
you call this?" said he, "does that look
tramp or vagrant like? Guess not
How much is my fine!" and he unrollec
the bills, took out a dollar and quar-
ter, paid it over, and put the rest in hi
pocket. He was then discharged. II
going out he said, always remembel
to hold on bit. Don't be going off il
hurry! Don't rush things" He smil
ed good naturedly and departed.

Getting the Capacity.
[From the Detroit Free Press

Many of the excursionists in town
yesterday boarded the street cars to Sc
cure more extended view of the city.
One of them, a fatherly looking man of
fifty, took seat on a Woodward avenue
car, but after two or three minutes pull
ed pocket tape-line from his coat-tails
and began taking the dimensions of the
car. When he had secured the length,
breadth and heighth be made some fig
ures on piece of paper. He wasn't
through yet when one of the passengers
inquired:
"Going to build car like this?"
mo, sir, hain't going to build a car
like this. 1 was figuring on how it
would do for corn crib 1t would hold
exactly thirty-four bushels of corn in
the ear, and I'll bet ten dollars on it,"
He was going to measure it as an oat-
bin, and had asked lady to hold the
end of the tape-line; when the driver
called upon him to sit down. The man,
sat down, but after two or three minutes
he got mad and called out:
"You needn't be SO burned crusty
about it! If you think Pm obligen to
ride on this car to please you you're
badly mistaken! Pm going to git off
and don't you dare touch mev

the passengers laughing he shook both
fists at the car as long as it remained ir

Animals Length of Life.

The average age of sheep does not
much exceed ten years; to that period
they will usually live, breed, and thrive
tolerably well. But there are instances
of much more protracted age. Parti-
cular sheep are stated to live nearly
twenty years-those which the mountain
shepherds call "guide-sheep," old wheth-
ers which are kept on purpose to direct
the bleating focks in the unfrequented
wilds.
Cows have an average age of about
fifteen years. Rings on the horns tell
the number of their days. At four years
old a ring is formed at their roots and
every succeeding year another is added
Thus, by allowing three years before
their appearance, and counting the num-
ber Of rings, the age of the animal is
known. 1t is well for certain members
Of the human race losing their bloom,
who are somewhat sensitive upon the
question Of age, that there are no defn-
ite appearances added with annual pre-
cision to their cheeks, revealing to the
eye what they keep from the ear. Pigs
have been known to live through thirty
years, but the average term is much less

The Law of Horse Hire.

The Rural Sun has the following
at has been decided that when horse
or carriage is let out for hire for the pur-
pose of performing a particular journey,
the party letting warrants the carriage
fit and competent for such journey. If
the hirer treats the horse or carriage as
any prudent man would do, he is not
answerable for any damage that either
may receive, but he must use the horse
for the purpose for which he hired him.
For instance, horse hired for saddle
must not be used in harness. If the
hirer violates this express condition of
the contract he is liable for any damage
that may occur. If the horse is stolen
through the hirer's negligence, such as
leaving the stable door open all night,
he must answer for it; but if he is rob-
bed of it by highwaymen, when travel
ing the usual road at usual hours, he
cannot be held for damages. As these
questions are frequently in dispute these
decisions may be interesting"

Governor Pillsbury, Of Minnesota,
has issued proclamation against grass
hoppers in advance of the grasshopper
convention of Western Governors, which
is to meet in October. He recommends
that the insects be destroyed by all pos
sibly means-by rolling and crushing,
by late plowine and narrowing, by de-
laying the prairie fires till spring, when
the young ones will be burned, by spread
ing straw which can be burned in the
spring, by digging ditchss and sowing
grain in strips with lanes between, and
finally by passing ropes over the grain
when the grasshoppers attack it, and in
ducing them to rise by smoke, noise and
all means of annoyance.

A Lucky Veteran-A Good Thing for
Him That He StOrmed Stony Point.
From the Chicago Legal News.


Years ago, Charles NJ. Lee was
great lawyer in Rochester, New York.
On one occasion he was defending an old
veteran for passing forged promlssory
note for thirty dollars. There was
scarcely doubt of the mans guilt, but
Lee, getting over the knotty points of
the evidence as we'll as he could, under
took to carry the jury by escalade on
the ground of the prisoners Revolution
ary services. He described in graphic
terms the bloody attack on Stony Point,
by Mad Anthony, at which the prison
er, then daredevil of 10, had distin-
guished himself, and closed his speech
as follows:
Gentlemen of the jury, will you send
to the State prison, for passing a con-
temptible thirty dollar forged note, an
old hero, of three score and ten, who, in
his youth, cheered the heart'of his coun-
try in the darkest hour of the Revolu-
tion by storming Stony Point?"
This was poser for the jury, who,
retiring, returned after an absence OF
about two hours, when the clerk went
through the usual formula:
Gentlemen of the jury, have you
agreed upon verdict"
1--WE have"
"Do you find the prisoner at the bal
guilty or not guilty?"
"Not guilty, because he stormed Stony
Point!" thundered the foreman.
The audience applauded, the criel
raped for order, the District Attorney
objected to the recording of the verdict
and the Judge sent the jury out again
telling the foreman, in a sharp tone, tha
they must find an unconditional verdict
After an absence of few minutes
they returned, when the foreman rem
dered the simple verdict of not guilty
adding, however, as he dropped into hi
seat:
at was good thing, though, for til
old revolutionary cuss, that he storme

The Hygiene of the Face and Eyes.

1t is mistake to believe that a good
complexion depends upon the use of
such and such cosmetics. 1t really de-
pends upon digestion, which itself de-
pends upon our mode of life. Persons
who rise early and go to bed regularly
at ten, who take plenty of air and exer-
else, eat with moderation at regular
hours, having their meals at intervals
long enough for digestion of one being
thoroughly accomplished before they be-
gin the rest-these persons are sure to
digest well, and in consequence have
clear, healthy compilations, which will
require no other cosmetics but plenty of
soft water and good toilet soap.
The hygiene of the eyes is very SIM
pie. For them, as we'll as for the COM
plexioD, good digestion is equally neces-
sary; more so, for no cosmetic could at
tenuate the yellow tinge which bilious
ness imparts to them; and if some mys-
terious pencils can supply the insufficient
shadow of rare eyelashes, good health
alone can give them that brightness
which is their principal beauty.-[ Fash

KRUPP's CANNON FACToRY.-The
establishment of Krupp, the great gun
maker, extends over several hundred
acres and employs $1,000 workmen. 1t
is traversed by railway five miles in
length ard tramway of two miles 1t
various parts are connected by lines of
telegraph wires and not less than thirty
stations. The annual sum paid in wages
amounted some years ago to $400, 900; it
is now probably much greater. Consid
erable skill is required in the manipula-
tion ofthe steel so largely used at Essen
When good workman is founn it is de.
sirable to retain him; and so, as far as
possible, it is made worth his while to
remain when once he has been employed
A pension fund has been established to
which every one employed on the work,
must subscribe q small fraction of hi,
wages. To the money thus collected. ths
proprietor adds sum equal to half Of
that subscribed by the men.
