The worth Of Battle Fields.

Men do fight, no doubt, from mere
recklessness, from hope of plunder or
glory; and sometimes they have been
whipped to it. But more often, when
they 20 where one out of every four or
five is likely to fall, it is with the nobler
motive uppermost, and felt with 9 burn
ing earnestness, too, which only the
breath of the near-at-hand death can fan
up. Mol there is reason enough why
battle fields should be, ssthey are, places
of pilgrimage. The remoteness Of the
struggle hardly diminishes the interest
with which we visit its scene; Marathon
is as as sacred as if the Greeks had con-
quered there last year. Nor, on the other
hand, do we need poetic haze from a
century or two Of intervening time ;
Gettysburg was consecrsted spot to all
the world before its dead were buried.
There need be no charm of nature; there
are tracts of mere sand in dreery Bran
denburg, where old Frederick, with
Prussia in his hand, supple and tough a
| If plated into nation out Of whip cord,
scourged the world and these tracts are
precious. On the other hand, the grand.
est natural features seem almost dwarfed
and paltry beside this overmastering In
terest.-April AtIantic.

In the wear 1898, during the reign Of

In the year 1898, during the reign of
terror, the surgeon of Boulogne having
been accused of being an aristocrat by one
of his younger professional brethren who
envied him his practice, was obliged to
take refuge in London, in order to save
his neck from the guillotine. Being
without employment or acquaintauces,
he inquired for the residence of his for
mer patient, Mr.. Oxley. He was di-
rected to it, and on arriving at the house
he sent up his name and was immediate
ly admitted. In huge arm chair, seated
before the fire with bottle Of wine be-
side him, sat portly parsonage, whose
size was so great that it was with diff
Guilty he could rise to welcome his yisi-
tor. "Welcome, Monsieur Lefebvre," !"
exclaimed the huge Englishman. Do
not be offended at my receiyeing you in
this manner, but my cursed wooden leg
won't allow me to do anything. You
have come, no doubt, my friend, to see
if in the long run you were not right r
g I am a fugitive asking an asylum
among you"
You shall stay with me, for you are
really wise man. Youwill console me.
Do you know, my dear Lefebvre, that,
had it not been for this abominable
wooden leg rendering me useless, / should
by this time have been Admiral of the
Blue. Ispend my life in reading the
newspapers, and in curses that / am tied
here when everybody else is up and do
ing. Remain here, you shall comfort
me-"
"Your charming wife can doubtless
do that better than I can"
Oh ! as for that, no. Her wooden
leg prevents her from gadding about and
dancing, SO she has as resource given
herself up to cards and scandal. There
is no possibility of living alone with her;
in other respects she is good enough
woman"
"Whatl wasI right, thenr exclaimed
the surgeon. ..iss
Oh, thousand times, my dear Le-
febyre; but say no more on that subject.
I was an unutterable fool. If ! had my
leg back again, / would not part with
the pairing of single nail. Between
ourselves, must have been crazy; but
keep that to yourself" siasg

Saved Her Little Companion.

The Des Moines Iowa) Register says:
Little "Pet" Ford, daughter of E. M.
Ford, Esq, saved the life of playmate,
while on a trip to Illinois, few weeks
since. Several girls about the same age
as Pet-ten or twelve years-were skating
on pond near Providence, when one Of
the party broke through the ice. All
the balance of the group, except our Des
Meines heroine, scampered off to procure
help from house about quarter of a
mile distant. Pet saw the drowning girl,
who was her cousin, rise to the surface
and support herself on the edge of the
one end to her cousin, but the girl was
not abba, with this help, to climb out
Then she lay down at full length on the
ice, with her hands extended to hel
cousin, and with this aid the girl wai
rescued. @sa - ~ Hsia

He didn't look as if his pockets held
fifty cents, but rich man has a right to

wold street until he saw the right sort of
a face, and then he asked: ~
"Can you show me bank ~
Yes, sir-three doors below, or Just
across the street, or right back there"
"Thanks. I'd like to put some money
in some bank, but Pm a little afraid Of
banks. I always did prefer note Of
hand to bank as' - - -

asked: a's = ~

know of anybody who'd like to take
some and give me a note for a year at
seven per cent. !? I think of going to
Mexico for while.'
"Let's see," unused the citizen, " /
don't know but I'd take some myself"
"Lemme git drink and then we'll
talk" said the stranger.
7" Yes, certainly come on" i" replied the
citizen, and the two went into base
ment. Drinks were ordered by the
citizen, one after another, until his shin.
plasters felt lonely. He said he could
make good use of few thousand dollars
for year, and some of his friends might
also take few thousand more. The
stranger put down gin, whisky, lager and
braudy until his legs gave out. The
citizen laid him on bench and tried to
sober him, but the fellow went dead
asleep while they were trying to force
vinegar down his throat. The barkeeper
said he was an old loafer, and police
man was sent for to take him to the sta
tion. When they got him down there
and searched him they found four cents

his pockets, and the CITIZEN who wanted
to borrow few thousand dollars wen

THIS is General Sherman's estimate Of

This is General Sherman's estimate Of
the fighting qualities of Americans: i:
" Put the Southern and Northern SOL
diers together you have the strongest ell
ement, in military sense, that could be
gotten together for any national purpose.
As fighters they would be invincible
The Southerners are impetuous and will
fight quicker and fiercer, but they give
out sooner; the Northerners are slower,
but they stay longer; they have more
endurance, and fight steadier and more
stubbornly. In fighting qualities the
South represents France and the North
England. Put the two together and the
devil couldn't whip them"

Anumber of County Republican Conven-

didates for nomination to the State Conven-

also does Montgomery, Fairfield, Preble, and
Brown.
Clarke county is Thought to favor Bristow
as a candidate for the Presidency.
Greene county passed strong resolution
recognizing Bristow as a man of rare honor
honesty and courage, a representative man ;
but left their delegates without instructions
as to their favorite candidate.
In Crawford county (Bucyrus): "Resolu-
tions were passed complimentary to both
Hayes and Bristow, but no instructions
given to delegates"
At Bellefontaine, Logan county, the Con-
vention resolved that Hayes was the first
choice for the Presidency, but -" Re-
solved, second, That in the event of Cover
nor Hayes failing to receive the nomination
at the Cincinnati Convention, our next
choice is Secretary Bristow." ~,

EDWIN BOOTH created furore in the
Southern cities, in which he has recently
given fifty-two performances. He had
not appeared south Of Baltimore on the
Atlantic coast since 1851, and was there
fore a novelty. The people came in
crowds to see him. The hotels were
thronged. Legislatures adjourned at
night to { witness his performances.
Social parties gave way to the occasion.
Way stations were crowded by persons
to see the great actor as he passed, and
car doors had to be locked to keep ont
the rush. BE has had great success bis
health is sretcrning, IS are his good spirits,
and the future looks bright. =
