Life in the Prussian Army.

The Berlin correspondent of the Lon
don Daily NetOs writes to that journal: ::
A case which recently came to light here
through the courts throws singular
light upon one phase of Prussian life.
Some time since nom commissioned
officer of a regiment stationed at Konips-
berg committed suicide, and Just before
the act wrote letter to Berlin journal
explaining his motive. He had pre-
viously published certain facts highly
discreditable to two officers Of his repi-
ment, and from that time they had per
secuted him with every form of military
cruelty that the superior can visit upon
tue suhaltern. No opportunity was Of
fered to him to prove his charges, and
the standing of the officers screened
them from any investigation. Life.
therefore, became intoIe. able to the
poor man, and he decided on suicide.
The allegations against the two officers
"a paymaster and, believe, lieuten-
ant-were repeated in the testamentary
letter. But as soon as this was pub
lished the entire line aud staff of the
reglment-which seems to have been
less sokcitous about vindicating it's
honor 30 long as the accuser lived
hastened on this posthumous publica-
tion to prosecute the newspaper FOR
libel. The care came before .ila civil
court here, and, much to thn aaryTise cf
all parties, the journal was eoc,- -

" DaymOn and PathOs.o

Two hard-up looking fellows, one
about fifty years old and the other
twenty years younger, entered bakery
in Detroit, says the Free Press, and
called for lunch. One was provided
and when they had eaten a square meal
the old man said to the baker:
"I'n stop in and pay you when we
come back"
g! guess mott guess you'll pay me
now - replied the baker.
They hadn't any cash, and they
hadn't any spare clothes. The baker
fished up a club from behind the coun-
ter and vowed that he would have money
or revenge.
=" It's similar case to that of Day
mon and Pathos," explained the old
man. My friend here shall 90 after
cash to settle this claim, and if he does
not return by noon you can take revenge
on me-"
81 don't care for Daymon nor Pathos,
nor any other man; I want cash %
shouted the baker.
"Daymon will bring the cash by noon,
OF I'm your meat" softly answered the
vagrant.
Daymon went out after cash, and
Pathos" " sat down and spit tobacco
Juice all over the floor. The baker or
dered him to quit.
"Didn't you ever read the beautiful
story of Daymon and Pathos ?" asked
the aged bilker. "Don't you remember
that Pathos sat down and chewed tobac-
co while Daymon was absent 2"
An hour slipped away and the old chap
fell asleep and lurched off the chair,
almost upsetting the stove. The baker
rushed at him, but "Pathos /" held up
his hands and protested.
Don't you remember that Pathos
fell asleep while waiting for Daymon' 8
return. 1 don't know as he fell off
his chair, but that wasn't a progressive
age"
Noon found him still there, with no
word from Daymon." The old man
was firm in his belief that his friend
would return, and reaching up on a
shelf behind him he took down a custard
pie and calmly began eating into it,
The enraged baker grasped him by the
throat, and in the tussle which followed
Pathos" came up to the mark 80 lively
that the bakers heels swept through a
showcase, and then the old man slid out
doors, and when the baker yelled for
the police the vagrant explained to the
crowd:
"Didn't Pathos have what he wanted
to eat while waiting for Daymon's re-
turna Can I play the part of Pathos on
on empty stomach p

preached her, and stood where her
shadow fell.
"Rachel," he said, with all his heart
IN his voice, " would like to walk in
your shadow hencsforth, if you are go
ing my way.
Rachel Moffatt looked up with startled
eyes into the face above her; the pink
flowers with their fatal significance fell
from her hand, and the irregular out
lines OF two confused shadows, never
henceforth to be parted, lay upon the
greensward. In the frosts of the follow
ing winter the Judas tree died, and the
place thereof knew it no more.

A Singular Story.

A Hopkinton IN. H. correspondent
OF the Boston Journal says: The cir
cumstances we are about to relate are
not recent, though of such remarkable
character and of such scientific import
ance, If true, we wonder that apparently
no informed person of the time to which
they belong made any account of them.
But now, as years have passed since the
publication of Elsie Venner," it may
be proper to inquire if any such phono-
mena as we are about to describe can be
correctly ascribed to the subtle poi
son of the rattlesnake.
Sixty years ago, or thereabouts, Cap
tain Parker Parsons kept O country
"tahvern in the district of Hopkinton,
known from time immortal as "Stump-
field" Being personally engaged in q
variety of rural pursuits, the captain
kept about the farm, as general help, q
young man about TWENTY-FIVE years of
age, who bore the somewhat oppressive
lysuggestive cognomen, Moody Swallow.
AT that time the rattlesnake was by no
means an infrequent habitue OF this
vicinity, though the number of repre-
sentatives of this class of reptiles had
been greatly reduced since the first set
tlement. One day young Swallow gave
out that being himself close to cluster
of elder bushes growing by wall at the
side of the highway, a rattlesnake in
f1icted bite upon his leg, at the same
time confirming the statement by ex-
hibiting wound or scratch upon his
naked skin.
The information reaching us does not
state whether or no Swallow Immediate
ly exhibited the effects of the serpent's
venom, but it is sclemnly affirmed that
soon he became the subject of "spells, I"
during the attacks of which he mani
tested traits peculiarly and strikingly
snaky. His brow corrugated, his eyes
flashed, and he would actually crawl or
wriggle upon his belly. A resort during
these attacks was quite noticeable. Near
the "tahvern" stood the old Parsons
homestead ancient, unoccupied,
dilapidated building, with roof extend
ing far down toward the ground on one
side. Here Swallow would repair and
give demonstration of his fitful malady,
not the least astonishing of his exploits
being the exploring of the whole roof
on his belly, wriggling up one side and
down head first on the other, and 80
about to the extent of his serpen
tine impulse or pleasure. These fits be-
Chno uiatGeIS Ol Sucu common ODSerVa-
tion in the neighborhood that on an oc-
currence of one people would say ::
Swallow is having one of his spells :;
his snake is after him"
According to the information, these
things continued at least year, though
We are not told how frequently the at
tacks occurred or how long they lasted.
Swallow does not appear to have been of
this town, nor its long resident. He
soon went to Vermont, where he was
convicted on criminal charge of some
kind and sentenced to the State prison
at Windsor, where he was visited by the
person, now living, who informs us of
these circumstances. From this time
we have no account of him.

A Political Renaissance.

The Titusville (Pa.) Herald says /:
EARLY in 1910 Henry Clay, as candidate
for the Presidency, stood head and
shoulders above any other. The delega-
tion of the State of New York to the
Wing convention were unanimous in his
favor. In June General Scott went to
Saratoga, and was there made to believe
that his popularity might secure him
the nomination and the election. He
Immediately went to Albany and coun-
seled with Governor Seward, who told
the general he would require twenty
four hours to consider SCOTS PROPOSE
tion, which was that the governor
should, in case of Scott's election, be
his right hand man. At the expiration
of the twenty-four hours Scott called
upon the governor, in the old Yates
mansion, when the governor told him
that on mature deliberation he concluded
that the general was or might be the
most available candidate. He had
fought the country's battles at Chippewa
and Lundy's Lane, and his scars ould
plead most eloquently for the snffrages
of the people, but he, the governor, did
not regard the general as politician.
and politics was the governors pro-
sion. "Now," he says, "if you will
place yourself in my hands, ard y -
not to answer any 'etters or
without my approval. 'si"

Sit Down, Sad Soul.

Sit down, sad soul, and count
The moments flying;
Come, tell the sweet amount
That's lost by signing!
How many miles-a score,
Tnen laugh and count no more
For day is dyingI
Lie down, sad soul. and sleep,
And no more measure
The fight of time, nor weep
The loss of leisure;
But here, by this lone stream,
Lie down with us and dream
OF starry treasure
We dream do thou the same;
We love for ever;
We laugh ; yet few we shame,
The gentle-never;
Stay, then, till sorrow dies,
Thon hope and happy skies
