At the Glades.

! The hotel proprietor at Deer Park,
| Nd, says an exchange, who keeps both
houses, is John Daily, the fatherin-law
of Gen. Crook, who is now in the Sioux
country. Daily is now man Of about
sixty years of age. Mary Daily, now
Mrs. Crook, was raised in Oakland, and,
being attractive and educated, she took
the eye, and finally the heart of George
Crook, an Ohio West Pointer. The
Daily family came from Moorefeld,
West Virginia, and Jas. Daily, Mrs.
Crooks brother, was attached to the in
dependent company of rangers COM
manded by McNeill Of Missouri, a
mountaineer Graded in these ridges,
who returned to their wilds at the out
break of the war, and gave every Fed
eral commander much trouble until he
was killed. Resenting the attentions of
Crook to his sister, on making reprisal,
young Daily and others of McNeill's
command captured Gems. Crook and
Kelly in his fathers hotel at Oumber-
land, with their staffs sleeping at
hand, and marched them out at the point
of the pistol and took themto Richmond.
The father was arrested on suspicion Of
collusion, but he had no control over
his dare-de son. Crook and Jim
Daily got to like each other very much
after the war, and lived together at camp
in Arizona.
Gen. Crook is a 1.-the, lean, light
haired man, of both military and hunter
character. He will go out on the desert
alone, and sleep i'll the sage bush, and
from seeking and studying Indians SO
constantly, the traits of his mind have
become like the Indians. His bright,
social wife, who has no children, accepts
his solitude without complaint. He
trails Indians with others, and has de-
stroyed the Apaches, those proud raid
ers into Mexico, whose cavalry was once
equal to the Mamelukes, and whose
lances flashed by thousands hospitality
to the American immigrant.

In Their Own Tongue.

An eminent Judge went ON the Welsh
circuit, and did not know the Welsh Ian
guage. A man accused of stealing
a horse, was defended by a we'll known
Welsh lawyer, and tho case seemed
hopeless for the prisoner. The willy ad-
vocate requested permission of the Judge
to address the jury, themselves Welsh
men, in their native tongue. and the re-
quest was granted. The advocate, who
admitted to the jury that there was
hardly the shadow Of defense for his
client, assured them that the Judge, who
was the kindest hearted person in the
world, and hated to convict any one,
would be only too delighted if the jury
would by any means find it possible to
acquit him. Upon this the jury, full of
desire to please his lordship, announced,
with beaming countenances, to the utter
surprise of the judge, that they found
the prisoner "not guilty" In vain the
Judge attempted to expostulate. The
jury, delighted at the pleasure they had
afforded his lordship, would not listen
to a word, and the prisoner was released.

The HOOsac Tunnel.

Tho temperature of the Hoosac tun
mel is about the same all the year round,
the Thermometer standing generally q,
sixty deg. The air is pure except when
there are great many trains going
through, filling the tunnel with smoke;
yet, Notwithstanding that, there is now
no doubt about the tunnels being able
to thoroughly ventilate itself. When
the five hundred men were at work,
there was 80 much smoke from the lamps
of the miners, the fires of the black
smiths, and the trains that were con-
stantly at work, that the tunnelers' eyes
and lungs were very often seriously af-
fected.
The arching has not been in any one
place, but in sections, wherever there
was a possibility of danger from loose
and crumbling rock. In all, about four
thousand five hundred feet have been
arched, the longest section being five
hundred feet and the shortest ten feet.
Thus the workmen were not all tOgeth-
er, but were scattered along the line.
After section of the tunnel had been
selected as needing arching, the miners
begun to remove the rock from the
sides and roof for depth of about three
feet, that being the average thickness of
the arching. In performing this work
constant care was used, and VIII m the
extreme liability to danger from falling
rock is considered, it is wonder thatso
few accidents have occurred. The rock
taken down was removed daily, and
dumped at different points along the
road from the tunnel, that from the roof
being received and carried out by plat
form cars that reached within few feet
of it. When the section to be arched
had been properly prepared, the masons
begun their work, laying the brick on
wooden arches, called "centers," which
were put up every five or six feet. The
brickwork was not laid close to the wall
in all parts, a space being left for the
water to run down. Sheet iron was
placed between the brick and the wall
for protection against water, and the
brick was laid with waterproof cement
No part of the arching has been slight
ed, the whole work being thoroughly
done.
A telegraph wire has been put through
the tunnel, and offices stationed at both
ends, and warning will be given every
time train enters and leaves the tun-
ael. R. B. Campbell, superintendent
Of the tunnel, keeps ten man examining
;he sides and roof and taking down
oose rock wherever found. Before q
rain goes through, the entire length of
he tunnel is walked over by four men,
stationed at different points, to SEQ that
he track is unobstructed. Mr.. Camp
bell also walks through every day on a
our of examination. Twenty minutes
will be used by every train in going
trough.

Continental Officers.

Mr.. Scudder, in recent work, tells
this fact, which he says may be relied
on as correct: DIR. Fayssoux, joining
the army of Caa Greene, in North Car
olina, called f.. d hut of Gen. Huger.
the second in command, and was refused
admission. The doctor insisted on his
right to enter; the sentinel, in conform
ity to his orders, denied it. The alter
cation was heard by the general, who,
recognizing the voice of his friend, de-
sired that he might be allowed to pass
into the hut.
"Pardon me, DOCTOR" said the gen
eral, who lay on the ground, wrapped
up in an old military cloak. "for giving
you so ungracious reception (; but the
fact is. the chances Of war have robbed
me of every comfort, and confined
myself to solitude and an old cloak while
my washerwoman prepares for future
occasion the only shirt I own" If an
officer Of distinguished rank, universally
loved and respected, for whose accom-
mediation there was not an individual
in the service who would not havo made
sacrifices, vas thus circumstanced, what
must have been the miseries Of the low
er grades, and wretchedness of the pri-
vate sentinels?

British Grain Trade.

A leading English grain circular says
The supplies of English wheat have been
rather larger, and the tendency of prices
has continued in favor of buyers, who
have restricted their purchases to supply
immediate requirements. Prices gener-
ally have been somewhat lower. The
cargoes on the coast now number six
teen they have been reduced principal
ly by Withdrawals. Trade has remained
very dull at this end. In the neighbor-
ing markets there has been more active
demand, which has sprung up. the
weather having become unsettled with
heavy rains and low temperature, and a
fair business has been transacted in wheat
at better prices. Maize has also been
held for fully late rates. The millers
generally were rather short Of stock and
purchased wheets largely. paying an adj
vance ofltwo pence per GENITAL for both
white and red. Flour was dull and un-
changed. Corn was in good demand at
an advance of AK pence per quarter.

A Chicago Wife.

Not long ago married woman on
Pine street, Chicago, asked her husband
for new summer hat and suit, 80 that
she could make that hateful creature in
the next block see that there were other
people beside her ladyship that could
dress decently. Owing to the stringency
of the money market he declined to fall
in with her overtures. She did not
press the subject, but few days after
ward she came to his side, and leaning
her head softly on his shoulder, said !:
"Darling, if you were to be hit on
the head with a hammer, or something
of the kind, so that it wouldn't kill you,
but hurt you a good deal and put you
out of your mind, wouldn't they make
me your guardian, and administrator"
"Very probably they would, pussy, !"
he replied, fondling her golden curls,
"but what funny question for you to
ask" "And then," she continued, ap-
parently not having heard the latter
part of his sentence, "and then I could
do all that I liked with things, and my
name would be the same as yours at the
bank and SO ONT" "Certainly, pet" he
and she, giving him an affeo-
tionate embrace, hurried away. The
thing somewhat perplexed him, but he
it from his memory until very
recently, when he met hardware dealer
of his acquaintance, who said: "Tell
your wife 1 sent her the biggest ham,
mer we had, but what in thunder did
she want 30 large hammer for9"
Then a cold sweat broke out all over
that young man, and fastening home, he
told his wife he had just collected bad
debt, and here were $3.50 for her to get
that suit and hat with. And she kissed
him and said she would not take it all,
since times were SO hard, and they must
make every cent go as far as they could;
but he insisted that she should, and she
yielded like dutiful wife, and when he
had gone out she took the hammer from
behind the washstand, sent it back to
The hardware store, and told them she
need it, but to send her its
worth in self-sealing preserve jars.

Servians In Camp.

The special correspondent OF the Lor
dan Standard at Belgrade gives the fol
lowing description Of the Servians il
camp at Topchider:
Twenty minutes walk from the hospi
tai is the beginning Of q sloping plain
and there lies the camp: Tho first viey
OF 1t was startling; the widest dream
OF the most skillful arrauger of mas
querades never approached this variet
and lively picture. At the extreme lef
were number of covered carts, draw
by animals which in size resemblet
dogs, when compared with our dray
horses. These carts were most of then
driven by boys, old men, or young girls
and contained the baggage Of the divi
sion; some Of them had also casks Of
rakieh (spirits), and q crowd Of thirsty
militiamen surrounded these.
The men, when not exercising in
companies, were either lying down or
standing about in little groups. All OF
them-almost without exception be-
tween the age of forty and ffty-wore
the dress of the Servian peasants-a
short jacket of gray linen or coarse
brown cloth, wide trousers reaching to
the knee, looking like sack behind,
some thick coloied material bound round
the leg from the knee downward, and
their feet enveloped in all sorts of rags,
thrust into sandals made OF reddish
brown untanned leather, and bound by
straps-a very practical covering for the
feet, but often of colossal dimensions.
A leathern girdle, or red shawl of great
length, is worn round the waist. Many
have revolvers stuck in the former, from.
which number of straps hang down,
and to these are attached knives, tinder
for striking light, and other articles
considered indispensable by the Servi-
ans. Instead Of knapsack, they have
only the ordinary thick woolen sacks, so
often to be seen hanging on the backs
of the horses; these had been well filled
by the wives of the men with bread,
mutton, cheese, and plenty of onions
and leeks-the latter choice delicacy
among the Servians, the dreadful odor
of which makes the m,eh0nes (inns) al
most uninhabitable to European trav-
elers.
Finally, every one had the national
drinking vessel hanging at his side-a
gourd followed out in the shape of two
cylinders united by ball. The gourd
bears great deal of knocking about, is
light, and keeps the fluids it contains
fresh. A few OF the men were in Euro
pean dress, except that sandals were
worn instead of boots, and there were
also Roumanians and Zingaris in long |
shirts of coarse linen, worn outside the
and Bulgarians (Roumanians
md Bulgarians come from East Servia)
n thick wooden coats, which years ago
lad been white. The Gypsies were very
all in the Servian dress, but
,asily to be recognized by their dark
kins, the dozens of gold rings on their
ingers, and the large families that sur
ounded them. The State supplies each

a,y cloak of Austrian cut, manufactured
n that country; blue cap, also copied
rom the Austrians; an ammunition
'ouch, and another little one for percus-
ion caps, both attached to black strap
ound the waist; and an old Russian
nusket, with three edged bayonet.

A Heavy Weight.

In Vessel there is restaurant keep
er, twenty seven year, old. measuring
around the waist feet five four inches,
and weighing over four hundred pounds.
When the landwehr was lately mustered
to attend the artillery practice no proper
uniform could be found for this extraor-
dinary man. and as he was absolutely
good for nothing so far az activity was
concerned, he was granted his dism is sal
which he very willingly accepted.

An Afterth0ught.

We felt the grass dow round our feet
In currents cool and palpitant;
Tho cherry blooms above hung sweet,
Through riffs in which, with horn aslant,
Aud clear as ice, We saw the moon
Swim in the suns bright wake at noon.
She was 30 young she knew not love,
But blushed for Joy, as flowers do
When winds blow warm. It was enough
To heat mans heart through and through
To see her eyes and feel them lure
His own to plunge in deeps 20 pure.

The import might in tender way
Mako her hearts fountain gently move;
Somehow my words were all astray;
Save those to name the simplest thought
The cunning Of my tongue was naught.
Oh, laundering olod! Oh, timid sot!
To lot life's crowning crisis pass
To be king and know 1t not
The sharded insect in the grass
Had better nerve and clearer brain!
But who can call time back again2

The Mariner.

A minister in a Scotch seaport town
was descanting before large audience
upon the perils of unrepentant sinners
as they drifted down the stream of time.
He compared them to tempest tossed
bark, bowling under the hurricane, every
bit of canvass torn from its spars, and
driving furiously upon adjacent break
ers. At the climax of his skillfully
elaborated metaphr the minister
shouted: "And how, oh, how, shall the
poor mariner be saved2" An old salt in
the gallery, with his whole soul alb
sorbed in the scene, sprung to his feet
and screamed: "Let him put his helm
hard down, and bear up against the
waves"
