ment. Commodore Pcgram fur
nshed his young friend with books
ana came two or three times week
to examine him. The Commodore
says he progressed so rapidly that
soon he found himself unable to
examine him, and he knew more
about it than he did. He intro
duced the young wounded man to
a certain gentleman in Richmond
who had somo very .'ne horses.
This gentleman conceived such n
liking for the intelligent brave
young fellow that he offered him the
pick Of his horses if he would come
out No. 1 in the examination. This
the youth Smodestly said could
scarcely be expected. Well, said
the gentleman, pass your examina-
ton and you shall have the second
choice. The examinatiop came off,
and tho young man came out No. J..
The best horse of the stables was
given him, and still wounded and
against romonstranccs he reported
for duty. BEFORE tho war WAS over,
he bad pushed himself up to the

Commodore Pegram's history is
much longer than this, but it may
be summed up in these words-that

Among the strikers.

School Superintendent Kaye, who
has just returned from the East, tells
us about how he, with other friends,
were taken for strikers in Baltimore.
He arrived there in the night, and
while the excitement was at its worst.
On the way to his hotel he had to run
the blockade, and several times mar
rowly escaped being Drained with a
brickbst. The train by which he ex
pected to leave was to move al IL
o'clock the next night. He had with
him a couple Of friends, and the party
concluded that they could attend the
theater and still reach the train on
time. They were a little late, and on
nearing the depot they began to move
on the double-quick. Things in general
were pretty shaky in the neighbour
strong patrol was ON duty TO keep
down the strikers. Just a. Kaye and
his friends had turned a sharp corner
at full speed they were pounced upon
by a half dozen special policemen, who
insisted on marching them off to the
lookup. Fortunately, one of the
party knew the ticket agent at the de-
pot, and by smooth talk and a good
deal Of il the officers were induced to
take them before the man Of tickets
for Identification. This accomplished,
they were soon off on the west. bound
train, each the meanwhile congratu.

The Outlook.

Eureka is thronged with unemployed
men,. They saunter up and down the
streets. haunt the District aud Justices
court-rooms, lounge around the fur
naces, or gather in groups and discuss
the situation. The majority Of them
are strangers who have emigrated
from camps south of town and sought
Eureka as the most available point to
procure work. Their hopes of getting
remunerative employment hinges on
the termination of the mining litigs-
ton and the early resumption of op.
erations at h furnaces. In the mean
time they idly pass the time away as
best they can, putting in an appear
ance at all the excitements from a dog
tight to a tight-rope performance. II,
rs everybody anticipates, brighter days
are ABOUT to dawn, and the decision of
next week is the signal for renewed
activity, it is probable hat the most of
them will secure situations. A re-
newal of operations at the Richmond
alone would create a demand for at
least 500 more men, while the Eureka,
in the event OF hat company starting
up two additional furnaces, would
employ a much larger force than at
present. Rumors in regard To the fu.
lure intentions of the leading mining
companies are as plenty and a. o n
Trajectory as one could we'll imagine,
aud il Is very doubtful il anyone out
side Of the managers can prophecy with
any certainty as to their future move
ments. but the general DRIFT of opinion
is that the coming month will herald
An era of renewed activity, and that
the fumes of half a dozen more fur
naces will be added to those already in
operation. A thousand more men on
the pay-rolls would rec the
present stagnation and infuse new life
into the arteries of trade. If the full
t~ll,nent of everybody's prediction is
at all commensurate with the pres
ent hopes, another month will witness
precisely that state OF affairs.

A Moonlight Incident at Palisade.

A Moonlight Incident at PaIfsade.
The town of Palisade was agitated to
its depths on Tuesday evening last by
the report that the body Of a supposed
suicide was swinging from a telegraph
pole on the hillside above the railroad
shops. As the report gained credence.
the male inhabitants sailed forth EN-
masse to view the remains and ascer.
tain who the unfortunate person
could be who had thus launched him.
self into eternity. 1t must be a
stranger. for on counting noses every
resident of the town was found pres
ent. A short walk to the spot indicat-
ed revealed the truth of the rumor.
Outlined against the sky the figure of a
man could be seen dangling from the
end of a rope, at the height of 10 or
IL feet from the ground. He was
clad in a black suit of clothes, and his
hat pulled down over his eyes in such
a n as to hide his face. The
crowd gazed with superstitious awe at
the weird form, and watched the
moonbeams play upon the supposed
corpse, until some one suggested that
life might not he extinct, and it would
be as well TO cut him down. This was
promptly negatived by the majority,
who insisted that no one dare inter.
fere except a person duly clothed in
the majesty Of the law. or course all
minds at once reverted to Captain
Rabbits, and for the first time il was
discovered that he was not with the
throng. A population was sent in
search OF him, and found him deeply
immersed in a volume of Benton's
Thirty Years in the United States SEN
ate, and so fascinated with the book as
to be entirely oblivious to the excite
ment that was raging In the little vii
lsge. As soon as the matter
WAS explained to him he at
once responed to the call of duty
and fastened to the scene. A further
delay occurred from the want of
proper means TO reach the body, and
no one volunteered to climb the pole,
but a ladder was finally procured, aud
Johnny Bell deputized TO ascend, and
bring the remains down TO terra firma,
a task that he performed with becom-
ing solemnity. Severing the rope with
n cut of a sharp knife, he swung the
suicide over his shoulder, descended,
and tenderly deposited it on the cold
ground. The citizens gathered around,
gazed at the sight, and hastily retired,
murinuring the word "sold." 1t WAS
a man of straw, an efiigy hat some
mad wag had stuffed and suspended.
in order to perpetrate a joke o. the
unsuspecting people. If you say any
thing about a maj committing suicide
to a resident OF that burg, he either
pretends to utter ignorsnce OF the facts,
or else winks o~ingly, and claims
to have been aware Of the hoax from
its inception.
