0aIy One Load.

IT is pretty well known that during
4 William H. Yanderbilt's youth, his
father, the Commodore, had very little
confidence in his sagacity or business
ability. Against the advice of some of
his friends, he perslstently declined the
young mans cooperation because he
thought him stupid" A story is cur
rent on Staten Island which goes to
show how the Commodore's eyes came
to be opened to the mistake into which
he had allowed himself to fall concern
ing his oldest boy. William owned a
farm near his fathers and finding that
it required fertilization, he applied to
him for some manure. u1 raiU@
/" How much do you want? ?" inquired
the Commodore. rt o ut Jn.
Oh, about load, y said the son.
4" Certainly, can spare that, Twas the
reply. a- .aeu
When the Commodore visited his
place the next week, he found that his
yards and stables were swept clean of
the great heaps of compost which he
had allowed to accumulate,
Why, how is this ?" he said to his
farmer. d.
- Your son came and got it,'' was the
answer. . He said you gave him per-
mission" esr.
The Commodore went fuming to Will
liam, and said in a bustling way, g see
here, young man, what have you been
about; how dared you to cart off all my
manure 2"
(" You said could have it," was the
rejoinder. You told me to take load. :"
"A load why, you have got every bit
there is.''
II only took load, father-a sloop
load"
The old mans eyes were opened, and

John went home, and in preparing his
lessons for the next day and joining in
the home pleasures he had forgotten all
about the boys. The next morning on
his way to school, he heard that the
boys had been arrested and sent to Jail
for being drunk and disorderly, Thin k

Sas In one of the terrible battles in
Virginia Union officer fell wounded in
front of the Confederate breastworks.
and while he was lying on the ground
crying piteously for water, James Moore
of Burke county, N. c., a Confederate
soldier, leaped over the fortifications,
canteen in hand, and crawling up to the
poor fellow gave him drink. The
wounded man took out his gold watch
and offered it to his benefactor, but il
was refused. He then asked for the
Confederate soldiers name and the two
men parted Moore subsequently lost
limb in one of the Virginia battles, and
returned home cripple. The Raleigh
Meas now tells the sequel to this strange
adventure, A few days ago Moore re-
ceived from the Union soldier to whom
he had given the cup of water letter
announcing that the sum Of ten thous-
and dollars would be paid to him in four
annual iDstallments.

The INTERNATIONAL RIFLE MATcH.-The
international rife match between the
American and British teams, which began
at Creedmoor, New York, on Thursday,
was concluded Friday evening, the result
being a decisive victory for the American
team. with a score unparalleled IN the
history of long range contests in rifle shoot
ing. Throughout the contest was conducted
in the best possible spirit, and whilst there
was a generous rivalry nothing whatever
occurred to mar the harmony of the oc-
casion. The contest was regarded as Il test,
not only as to the nerve and skill OF the
marksmen, but as to the comparative
superoritv. or rather the relative accuracy,
of the match rifle muzzle-loadcr and the
breech- loader, the British team using the
former and the Americans the latter. 1T
has been stoutly eOntended on the other
side that while the breech-loader IS nsetul
as a military weapon at short range,
because ofits well-knOwn rapidity OF action,
the muzzleloader is preferable for long
range as more accurate. The manu-
facturers of American arms have done
much to turn opinion iE the direction OF
the breech-loaders, by the previous
victorious results of their work, and grant
ing that the teams in the recent contest
~were anything like evenly matched so far
as skill is concerned the very decided
victory of the Americans would imply a
superiority on the part of the breech-
leaders. 1t is very probable that this
last defeat will cause the British to make a
change in their weapons for long rang
work. Our British cousins, in the contest
Just closed, under the leadership of theil
enthusiastic captain, Sir Henry Halford
put forth their very best endeavors, and
they will return to their homes consoled
with the reflection that though they failed
to command success they at least deported
themselves in such manner as to deserve
it.
