boxes, the layers being powdered with bran.
Four biscuits constitute ration and are
equivalent TO ten pounds of oats; the bis

somewhat thin in flesh on the diet, they still

Philadelphia Times.


The officer who returned Yesterday
from the front" and when asked how
he got back, replied, In IN envelope"
gives the following description of the
return of such of the PHILADELPHIA so
ger boys" rs have been heard from.
Though the description may be obnox-
ious to the charge of being somewhat
hyperbolical, yet it must be confessed
that it has enough veri-similitude about
it to be recognized rs not pure fabri-
cation.
An effort was made by one or two
inventive individuals to climb into their
muskets, but as this was found to be
impracticable not for the reason that
the musketS were too narrow but that
the men We're too long, the rtlse was
abandoned. One gentleman tried the
extraordinary experiment of impellng
himself homeward by swallowing his
musket and touching it off from within
himself, but discovered his mistake in
tune to avert serious consequences. In
the excitement of the moment terri
l1tled brlgadier general offered to 'ship"
on passenger train rs Il man would be-
fore the mast" and, being refused,
wanted to know whether he couldn't 90
through rs an invoice to the stuffed de-
partment of the permanent exhibition.
In despair several veterans pinned pos
tai cards to their shirts and threw them
selves by the track, determined to trust
TO luck and some conscientious mail
agent to pass them through. To add to
the terror of these unfortunate men
they couldn't get anything to eat that
was palatable and as the crows knew
this they lowered above the emaciated
soldiers and "cawed' in joyous anticipa-
ton of big Quaker city lunch.
Happily for aching breasts at home,
the boys began struggling into the city
yesterday evening One gallant major
was attired in military boots, brake
mans pants, no coat worth mentioning.
and telegraph operators cap. His
friends met him at the depot and greet
ed him with cheers Though travel
stained and weary, he told the story of
his heroic charge upon the enemy with
modesty becoming III SO great man.
lie reviewed his course briefly, merely
touching here and there upon the num-
Der of rioters he had strangled and 9TH
crWise put to death, and remarked that
if somebody didn't hurry back to Blairs-
vile with some sandwiches and beer for
the First division that somebody would
starve to death 1t was his impression
also that the strike was over so far rs the
west was concerned at least, us the great
majority of the strikers had chased him
all the way home.

A Man Who Never Told Il Lie.

Yesterday afternoon an old oil man,
with crude petroleum dripping from
his clothes and legs incloscd in high
boots entered the Derrick Office and
said;
WaEt an item?'
ave got the dumbdest item you ever
my lease Monday, an she flowed II
stream of lie one hundred feet high
straight up for half an hour. Then she
kinder died down--onc of my drllers
was standing over the hole, when she
suddenly spurtcd up again, an blast my
eyes if it didn't take that driller right up
with it. The stream was Il powerful
one, you see, an he went up hundred
feet. You've seen those little balls
as dance about on top Of those little
squirting fountains such rs they have in
the cities? Yes, wal that's the way
this ere thing acted, an there's that air
driIler right up on the top Of that hun
bred fut column of crude lie, an he's
dancin about like chaff in tanning
mill What do YOU think of that un?"
How long has he been up there?'
"Ahout four days and four nights.
d" lie must be very hungry by this
time. Doesn't he come down to get
something to eaH'
Why, we 'uns just put a plate 70
hash in this stream of lie, and it takes
it up to him, You see. An it's mighty
handy, as he finds his victuals al
ready creased, an he doesn't need any
butter.
But he must have frozen to death
before this time"
"Why, man, We've sent him up on
the same stream bed and bedding, II
small stove an wood, an were gon' to
build him small house, an then
he can live there as comfortable as
prince"
His face was rs innocent Of deceit as
a piece of tanned leather, and when he
asked to have his name put down as
II deadhead subscriber for information
he had given we didn't have the heart
to hurt his feelings by refusing. oil City

Evidently Tilted.

They have Il man on the Richmond
Enquirer who was engaged; he was
awtully ugly, and the lady Tilted HIM
He relieves his feelings in this para
graph; "The flirt is the painted hyena
of society, the lamb-ileecing, disguised
ravening wolf Of the afleclional fold
Her fangs drip with the gore ofthc fool
ishly fond and true. Like the hideous
spectar bat of the Orinoco, she drains
the last purple drop from the veins
of the spell-bound victim, while her soft
Establishments hull him to rest and fill
his dreams with dazzling scenes of beau
ty and felicity. More cruel than the
great war-god of the Aztecs, she fcasts
upon the torn and bleeding hearts Of
her own most fervent worshipcrs. With
savage ferocity she crunches the tender
est feelings and emotions Of the human
soul. ="

BY all Means be an Editor.

An editor is the happiest being ON
earth, He has little or nothing to do,
and his pay is all that heart could wish
His sanctum, with its Persian rugs and
Turkey carpets, its costly rosewood
furniture, It's magnificent mirrors, its
beautiful pictures, its complete library
of splendidly bound books, its buffet
stocked with the finest wines, liquors,
and cigars, which cost him but Il puff or
two, Its silver bell to summon an attend
ent whenever II julep or cocktail is
wanted, and, i'll short, with its everything
that human ingenuity can devise for his
comfort and pleasure, Is n perfect little
paradise, where he sits or lounges and
reigns young lord, with the world of
fashion and pleasure ut his feet. And
then, anybody can be an cditor,--no
study, no PREPARATION. no brains, nothing
but little money to start with, and, once
started, the money pours in upon YOU in
Il steady stream, and the chef labor of
your life Is to spend it. AS for the labor
OF editing Il news paper, that is mere
moonshme. A mere glance at the col
ulnns OF newspaper Is enough to con
vince you that 1t requires no labor to
edit it, and less brains. 1t is certainly II
glorious life, that of an editor; life of
luxurious ease and elegant lcisure--a
life for the gods, filled, like that of the
young lover in his first sweet dream Of
requited love, with flutes and roseleaves
and moonbeams,
While not a wave of trouble rolls
Across his peaceful breast;
and that all men are not editors is one
of the strangcst things beneath the stars
True there must be doctors and LAWYERS
and merchants and shoemakers and
peanut dealers and the like, and all these
callings must be filled by somebody but
there are enough to fill them, and why
they don't become editors and lead
the life of opulent princes is II thing that
staggers us, But, after all, it may be
that 1t is a mere matter of taste 1t may
be repugnant to some natures to be
clothed in purple and line linen and fare
sumptuously every day, and of course
it would never do for such II nature to
become an editor; the life of ease and
elegance and luxury, and exemption
from all care and toll and debts and
duns would soon become bore to him,
and he would spend his nights in dream
ing of plows and pitchforks and roaping-
machines, and squander his days in de
vising some plan for swapping places
with IL bhcksmith's apprentice, or n
Strcet-car driver. Louisville Courier. Jour

Meet Me In Heaven.

One of the most affecting incidents of
the Pittsburg riot was that in connec-
ton with the death of little boy. He
was shot in the abdomen, and was car
ried into saloon near by. A physician
was summoned, while the little sufferer
lay upon piece of oi-cloth spread upon
the floor, The life-blood was ebbing
from him and covering the cloth with
gore. but he was conscious, and able to
talk little at intervals. He kept call
ing for g water water" and eagerly
drank the precious fluid handed him.
Just after one of his paroXysms Of pain
he seemed to become conscious and the
fact of his approaching dissolution be-
came impressed upon him, he asked
that his mother be called. They said
she had been sent for, but might not
reach him in time. Then said he,
"if | die, tell mother to meet me in
heaven" Later in the evening the gates
of pearl were opened, and his, spirit
entered in the Eden of everlasting rest.
