Remarkable BralnSs

A CONFEDERATE soldier from the Val.
ley of Virginia, in one of the battles o
the late Civil War. was struck In the head
by Minnie ball. The ball passed
through the skull, and the surgeons,
afraid to prote the wound in search of it,
left the man to die. In the course OF
time he recovered, but had lost his reason,
and was sent to the Insane Asylum at
Staunton, where he remained for eleven
years. At length, DR.. Fauntleroy, an
eminent physician Of that city, obtained
permission from the asylum authorities
and friends Of the insane man to make .
surgical examination of the head, with
the hope of finding the ball. He was sue
cessfuf, and found the ball imbedded on
the inside of the skull. Unable to ex-
tract it with any instrument at hand, he
took q chisel and mOrtised 1t out. As
soon as the ball was removed reason re-
sumed its control, and the deranged one
was in his right mind. He says that he
is not conscious of anything that occurred
during the interval of eleven years-from
the time he was struck on the battlefield
to the moment the pressure was removed
from the brain, all was q blank to him.
Another case in the same County of
Augusta was that Of boy whose gun
burst while shooting. and drove the lock
into the brain. The piece was taken out
by q skillful surgeon without serious in
jury to the patient.
But the most remarkable case that l
heard Of was in the same neighbnrhood::
It was that: of . woman subject to f1ts OF
mental arrangement, and while TN aspen
OF lunacy drove an eight Jenny nail into
the top of her head, penetrating ooWn
into he brain-the nail having been
driven up to it's head. The nail was
drawn ont. and the woman has been In
sound mcntal condition ever since. -

cannot adjust, to Board of Arbitration,
composed of three disinterested men, one
to be chosen by each party and the two
to select the third, and their decision to
be final. In my opinion it is the only
fair way of settling disputes, and q sure
preventive of strikes.n
In conclusion, after some references to
the strength Of the Brotherhood, he says:
"Our meetings are opened with prayer,
and the open Bible upon our altar; which
we recognize as the emblem of our Order,
and upon which our institution is founded.
and by it we are taught. Come, and let
us reason together"
We have given Mr.. Arthur's statements
as above very fully, because we have said
q great deal from time to time about the
Locomotive Brotherhood, and we are
anxious to give equal publicity to every
thing that can be urged in its behalf.

Row BrIgandage Fleurishes In Sicily

TIE evils 80 much talked of in Sicily
may be summed up in the statement that
law, as we understand it, is an interloper
in the island. The recognized authority,
which is supported by the moral sentiment
of the population, and which it is disrepu-
table, as well as dangerous, to defy, Is
private violence, or those associations
which have private violence a. their ulti.
ma ratio. One or two examples will make
this clear. In commune where the law
was beginning to get the upper hand, the
head Of the police was one day surround
ed in the principal street, at the hour when
it was most frequented, by gang of ruff
fans who shot him dead. Not one of the
passers-by saw or heard anything. Else

satisfied with this, he went 70 the village,
where the mother and sister of the muir
dered man lived, entered the house, shot
the mother, dragged the sister downstairs
into the street, and finished hen with .
knife. The police-office was close by, and
the village filed with country people re-
turning from their work. The assassin
went away lnmolested. In another place,

Glencoe, N. Y. J. E. Campbell, Presi-

A Trick at Cards.

A FRIEND of mine was witness, a few
days ago, to a sharp trick of cards on q
passenger train of one of our Western
railroads noted for the favor in which
three-card- monte and other card
sharps hold it. A well.dressed, clerical.
looking gentleman had attracted crowd
of gaping passengers around him by
number of ingenious and skillfully-exe-
cuted tricks with pack Of playing. cards,
and, at last, shutting the cards several
times and slapping them dewn on his
knee, he said: "I'll bet any man in the
crowd that can cut the jack of diamonds
at the first attempt" Every one hung
back suspiciously, until green, gawky-
looking individual, with hay.seed in his
hair, pushed his way forward. mis-
ter" he questioned, "may take q squint
at them keerds? ~ Certainly" replied
the professional, as he handed them over.
The cOuntryman inspected them suspic-
iously, and then, apparently satisfied, re-
turned them, but did not take the bet.
The cards are all right, aren't they ~ the
professional asked. Ya'as, 1 guess
they'd suit me, :" the countryman said, hes
itatingly. "Why don't you take my bet,
then:'' "Waal, l don't know; / amt
much of betting man." The profess
sional saw that the countryman was more
than half inclined to take him up, and, to
make sure of his game, he said: Come,
I'll bet SO to IS; SIS, $50 tO $751;"
g Blamed if l don't take ye," exclaimed
the countryman, after moments hesita-
ton, and, diving into his pocket. he drew
out a strip of calico apparently a sample
to show his girl), e. le confectionery, a
plug of tobacco, ,veral horseshoe nails,
and, lastly, a d, speptic- looking leather
wallet, from which he extracted greasy

hands of a bystander. The professional
speedily covered the deposit with twen-
ty fresh from Uncle Sans printing
bureau, and then, thoroughly shutting
the cards Is q prelude. he grasped the
pack firmly in one hand, and, producing
sharp pocket.knife, he actually cut
eoery card in the pack in tsco. "There, I"
he exclaimed, triumphantly, "haven't l

eternally chawed and swallowed if you

that veritable card from his sleeve, whith-

Who Was Casabfanca Z

OWEN CAsABIANCA was native of Cor
sica, on which island he was born in the
year 1888. His father was Louis Casa.
blanca, distinguished French politician
and naval commander, and the friend of
Napoleon. He was Captain, at this time,
of the Orient, one of the largest vessels in
the French Navy, magnificent ship-of-
war, carrying 100 guns and 500 seamen.
OF Casabianca's mother we know little,
save that she was young and beautiful
Corsican lady, and devotedly attached to
her son. Owen was her only child, a
handsome, manly little fellow, with her
beauty in his flashing eyes and dusky
hair. She died while he was yet quite
young, and when the green sod was placed
above her grave, the boy left the pleasant
valley under the smiling hills of Corsica
to 60 with his father and tread the hard
deck of war vessel. Mere child as he
was, Casabianca soon grew to love his
fathers dangerous calling, and became q
favorite with all on board. He was made
midshipman, and, at the early age of ten
years, participated with his father in the
battle Of the Nile. The ship caught fire
during the action. Soon after, Capt.
Casabianca, the father, was wounded bv q
musket ball. Not yet disabled, he was
struck in the head, some minutes later, by
splinter, which laid him upon the deck
insensible. His gallant son, unconscious
of the chieftain's doom, still held his post
ut the battery, where he worked like the
hero he was. He saw the flames raging
around him; he saw the ships crew de-
serting him one by one, and the boy was
urged to flee. With courage and GOODNESS
beyond his years, he refused to desert his
post. Worthy son of Louis Casabianca,
he fought on, and never abandoned the
Orient till the whole of the immense vessel
was in flames. Then, seeking refuge on a
floating mast, he left the burning ship be-
hind him. But he was too late. The final
catastrophe came like the judgment
doom. With an explosion so tremen-
dous that every ship felt it to the
bottom, the Orient blew up, and from
among the wreck the next morning was
picked up the dead, mangled body Of the
young hero, whose story romance and
poetry cannot make more heroic than it
was.-Youth's Companion.
