KCyes' war record is something
like Bill Apps story of the last
Confederate Congress, the mem.
bcrs Of which Arp heard were to
have been DISTINGUISHED by the
Federal government for having
"aidcd and allotted those who
were in rebellion" Bill Arp said
there was certainly a mistake in
the charge, for if the last Confele.
rate Congress had ever aided the
rebellion or the rebels, nobody
down South had ever heard of it
So it is with Keys, if he ever
killed any Yankees with that rip
snorting East Tennessee regiment
of his, there is no record of the
fact in history. The harm he did
the "Union and the flag' "ain't
worth 'poligizin for"

F. A. BURKE, in his denial, simply
confirms what the Suns correspon
dent charged him with. It appears
that he did talk to the correspondent
with regard to his visit to the Pres
ident, and to the correspondent with
regard to Wells and Andcrson's trial
and tie spiritins away of witnesses.
Mr.. Burke says that he told the cor
respondent that the "spiriting away
was "rumored" in New Orleans. This
is strange, when the city press is there
to report such grave rumors if they
were current.
Mr.. Bulke had just dined Will, the
President when the SIMS correspon.
dent came upon him and We have an
exhibition IN rho reritus. Mr.. Burke
should have reported these rnmors to
the nearest magistrate before he left
New Orleans, as he must have believ-
ed they were founded on something
more than idle gossip else he would
have not repeated them, and that
magistrate would have ordered an IN
vestigation at once. Browns fnlsome
card settles the matter. Who in the
name of Hercules is Brown exclaims
e-tenths of Louisianians.
Public opinion is all but strength
encd in its first expression and will
be clamorous for an investigation,
which they are fully satisfied will
never be accorded. However, the
people can patiently wait until they
can be heard IN proprio persona.

"Don't you think, Philip" said Mrs.
schottguhn, as she drew the darnine
block out of the completed stocking,
"that it's awful mean we've got to pay
out so much for baby carriage2'

he stopped to pick up the apple and the
paper box, "but I think (picking up the
spool and listing) that it would Ged ap-

box to buy one for, and -"
Here the baby made one grand sweep
Of everything on the table, and while the
Majors back was creaking with the ef-
fort to pick them all up promptly, he
heard cry, and looking round he saw
the baby, who had in some mysterious
way freed herself, swinging in the air,
suspended by her head, which was
jammed between the edge Of the table
and the top of the high chair. The stock
ing flew one way, the work-basket an.
other, and before Philip could straighten
himself up Cynthia had the baby safe in
her arms.
"Philip," how could you do that" and
the baby, too, safe on her mothers breast
turned reproachful look on the dumb
founded Major, and then, signing deeply,
turned to her mother again, nestled down
closer, flung one little hand up against
her mothers throat, and, still signing,
went fast sleep.

The Chinese Remedy q Failure,
ON tho Norristovn (Ps. } Herald.

From the Norristown (Pa.) Herald.
A Chinese physician says that in case
of nightmare, instead of rudely awaking
the sleeper by bringing in a light, you
should "bite his toe" This is q very
simple remedy-at least Mrs. Poppleton
thought so, for she treasured the recipe
and the other night when Poppleton was
seized with two-horsepower nightmare,
seventeen hands high, and in muf1ed
and ghostly voice muttered. "Owho-
whwoh! Ughughughuhu!" as if circus
elephant was performing tricks on his
stomach, she quickly slid to the foot Of
the bed, and was in the act of Selling his
big toe in her teeth, when the dreamer
gave rigorous kick and Mrs. Poppleton
was shot over tho tail-board of the bed
on to the floor, with four teeth half way
down her throat. The noise awakened
Poppleton, and hearing his wife scream
ing at the rate of forty knots an hour, he
seized a chair and wildly struck right and
loft all over the room, nearly Draining
Mrs. Poppleton before he discovered the
true situation Of affairs. It was a terrible
mistake, and Mrs. Poppleton was laid up
two weeks and five days, and the first
thing she did when she recovered sufh-
Gent strength was to smash $175 worth
of Chinese curiosities she had purchased
at the Centennial, and she says if she
were man she would go to China and
not return home until she had spit upon
that physician from fgure-head to rudder.
Or words to that effect. Poppleton en-
oys his nightmares as Of yore, without
wifcly interference.

fury.

A man accused of debt, for instance,
was straightway beaten about the legs un-
til he could find sureies for the alleged
amount. Failing in this, his hands and
neck were bound together, and in this
plight he was led through the town, beaten
as he went along, and otherwise ill-used.
When brought before the magistrate he
asked: "Owest thou this man any such
debts?" He will perhaps say, may"
Then saith the Judge: cart thou able to
deny it, Let us hear how.' by OATH"
saith the defendant. Then he command
eth to leave beating him till further trial
be had. In that happy land lawyers
we're then unknown, and every man plead
ed his own cause-all charges being made
in writing. If a plaintiff could not L.
gally prove his case, he was entitled to
challenge the defendant to mortal COM
bat, either in person or by proxy. There
we're professional champions in those
days, but after while they fell into dis
favor, being usually more concerned for
their own safety than the vindication of
the cause they had undertaken to uphold.
When defendant pleaded poverty he
was placed under the crucifx, and the
plaintiff swore over his head to the right
fulness of his claim. The poor wretch
thereupon became the Dukes bondman
until such time as his friends were able to
redeem him. Not unfrequently men sold
themselves to mobiles and gentlemen for 4
piece of money down, and meat, drink and
clothing for life. Some, too, sold their
wives and children.-Belgrarta.

NJ. Dl0xeAeA.

This singular man lived in Greece. He was
distinguished for his cccentricitics, bad man
ners and bad disposition. It was his chief
cuisines to find fault For example, he took a
lantern one day when the sun was shining
brightly and went out to search for an honest
man, thereby insinuating that such persons
were exceedingly scarce. When Alexander,
distinguished military gentleman, paid him a
yisit,and inquired what he could do for him,h
had the impudence to tell him to " get out of his
sunshine.' To cap the climax of his oddities,
he dressed s"l like beggar andi S in tub H.
infer that he had no wife, first, because his
tory does not mention her; second, because
no woman would take kindly to ono of his
habits, dress, or manners, or aspire to become
mistress to his mansion. "There was an old
woman who lived in q shoe," it is true. but the
woman who would live Ia tub, and especially
with such a companion, has not been heard from.
The misanthropic spirit which possessed this
man was doubles due to disordercd digestion
and a biliousncss, one of the prominent symp-
toms Of which is morose, faultfnding dis
position. The tongue is heavily coated, giving
and the patient feels dull, sleepy, or dizzy,
and is apt to be frctful. Unfortunately. Mr.
Diogenes lived several centuries before Dr3
Pieree's Pleasant Purgatiye Pellets were in
vented, a few doses of which would have re-
lieyed him of his "bilc,' and enabled him to
ma scores OF honest men - Without the aid OF
his lantern. Under their magic influence,
combined with that Of the Golden Medical Dis
covery, to cleanse his blood, he might have
been led to take more cheerful view of life,
to exchage his tub for decent habitation, to
"sprucc up" in personal appearance, and ut
last have taken a wife to mend his clothes and
his manners, both Of which were in evident
need Of repairs, and become the happy sire OF
little Diogeneses who would have handed down
to posterity the name, not of cynic philoso-
pher, but Of cheerful, healthy, happy, rirt,tous
mani!

From tho Detroit FREQ Press
A man who appeared to have just
struck tho town yesterday boarded a
Michigan avenue car, and as he rolled
along he began eating big apple. Pretty
soon piece Of the fruit went down his
windpipe, and he coughed like horse.
In his struggles the piece was blown out,
and it struck woman who sat opposite
in the eye.
you great brute!' she shouted, as she
brushed it of.
He coughed and coughed, and his eyes
rolled, and his face grew red, but as soon
Al he could get his breath he showed
out one of his big cowhidc boots and
said:
"sorry, ma'am-purely accidental, and
I'm willing you should spit on my foot to
make it all square,"
It was q fair offer, but she turned away
and continued to feel mad.

Fireside FancieS.

From the Danbuly News.
I have an active fancy, and I see pic
lures in wood fires. Shall I tell you of
that picture, the wonderfully life-like pic
ture, which always comes to me out of
the glowing Goals? It is the picture of a
saw-buck, and contrary saw in the
stick, with very much outraged boy at
tached to the saw. And I see the boy try
to pull and push the saw, which will
neither be pulled nor pushed, and hear
him cry, and scream, and sob, and yell,
and moan, and howl; and see him jump
up and down, and kick the buck, and
trample on his hat, until my heart aches
and my eyes grow dim.

From far-of Mount Despair.

uAJo1 sCHoTTqUHH's BABY.

There was dms, In his boyhood days
when tho Major thought Sunday dreary
day. No work, no play, everything SOL
emn, prim clothes, church bells, dull SER
mon, = momentsry relief In the air. after
church; more bells, Sunday school; more
bells, more dull sermon, supper, to bed,
weary with monotony; and then the JOY
Gus awakening on Monday morning, the
hum Of busy Rife resumed, the grass green
er, the sun brighter, tho birds blither, and
all the world natural again. But as the
Major grew older, and came to take up
his share of the responsibilities that fall to
men, Sunday appeared to him in differ
eut light, and he began to realize the
wisdom of that provision Of Providence
which gives one days rest in seven, and
still later, so keen was his enjoyment of
the day that he looked forward to 6stur-
day night as time when ho should d.
vest himself Of all his little petty cares
and troubles, as of coat, to be left be-
hind him for full six and thirty hours; and
he walked up Broadway already enjoying
in anticipation the quiet delights Of the
morrow, and caring not whether the earth
would be flooded with sunshine or with
rain; and when the morrow came, the
church bells sang tune which increasing
years had ever mcllowed, and even in the
clangor of the city's many bells it was
easy to single out one whose voice was
pleasant because it was like that Of the
church of his boyhood.
Aud after the baby came what an add
ed pleasure in the day! Here was treas
ure that neither money nor influence
could buy, piquant Joy with reverend
ing changes and ever-novel and delight
full phases Of development, though, to be
sure, it was something Of bother, too,
when, for instance it would reach NY from
the Majors knee and pull his neck-tie out
Of joint, or suddenly and violently witch
his moustache, or do one Of the thousand
unexpected things that only baby does.
It was only week ago to-day that Mrs.
Schottguhn, whose incessant labors had
not permitted her to finish the darning of
stocking begun on Saturday night,
asked the Major to hold the baby for .
few minutes, whick task he cheefully
undertook. From the first the baby's eyes
have been taken by the Majors shirt
studs. Two months ago her brain had
not reached that stage of directing and
controlling power which would enable
her to put finger squarely upon them
