A Well Posted Lad.

History never jumps over Detroit.
There are too many old battle grounds
around here for the historian to get past
without at least few paragraphs.
The fight at Bloody Run has been
widely read of, and strangers often ask
to have the locality pointed out. One
day man, who dropped off street car
at the Jefferson avenue bridge to look
around and let memory carry him back
to Indian days, felt anxious to know how
the fight came to be called Bloody Run.
By-and-bye boy came slamming along
and the stranger beckoned' to him and
asked: -
sSonny, is this Bloody Run?"
"You are bloody right it Is" was the
rejoinder.
:" Right around here is where the
British troops were, is it ?"
eyes, sir; and down in the gully there
were the bloody Injuns."
"And they fought2"
"Bloody sure. They didn't come here
to play, you bet"
"Was there much loss !"
ga bloody big one."
"Can you tell me-" continued the
stranger, looking around, "why they
call it Bloody Run"
"Yes, sir; COS when them soldiers
found there were ten Injuns to one white
man, they ran so bloody fast that you
can find old boot heels around here
yet."-DetrOn Free Press.

How the Russians are Armed.

others the Kruka musket. Each man is

Gently ordered that cart, with reserve
ammunition, should follow every bat
talon into the field. A cart carrying a
few entrenching tools is attached to each
company. The armament of the cavalry
is peculiar to Russia. In every corps,
withthe exception of the dragons, the
first rank are armed with lances and re-
volvers; the second rank have Neither
lance nor revolver, but Berdan rifle.
The dragons alone have the Kruka mus
ket. The Cossacks are armed with lance,
saber and musket. The men armed with
rifles have twenty rounds of ball cart
ridge; those armed with revolvers only
eighteen rounds. The troops are cool,
steady and obedient, and are good
marksmen, but rather loose and careless
in their drill, except the artillery, the
horses of which are good and the move
ments rapid, though good gunners are
scarce

The Tortoise as a Weather Prophet.

The tortoise is safe weather prophet.
NJ. Bouchard, in paper read before the
French Academy of Science at its recent
session, described the precautions taken
by tortoises against cold weather. Their
instinct tells them in the milder seasons
when the thermometer is likely to fall to
freezing point; and, toward the end OF
autumn, warns them also of the approach
of winter. In both cases they take pre-
cautions to screen themselves from cold,
and by carefully observing them NJ.
Bouchard has for years been enabled to
regulate his dollhouse. At the end Of
autumn, when the winter threatens to be
severe, tortoises. creep deep into the
earth, so as to conceal themselves COM
pletely from view. If, on the contrary,
the winter promises to he mild, they
scarcely 60 down an inch or two, just
enough to protect the openings of their
shells. Once when the thermometer
stood at fifty F., he saw the tortoises
creep into the ground, and that very
night the glass fell to twenty-eight T:
Another time, the mercury being at ITO
F. in the sun, one of the tortoises hid
himself. On the following morning there
was hoar frost.

Boiled Corn CObs for Dinner.

An amusing story is told, OF which 1t
is averred that no less an important per-
sonage than the late George Peabody,
the celebrated American banker, was the
hero. 1t appears that Mr.. Peabody,
while in England, had invited three
Englishmen to meet two Americans at
dinner, and on this occasion, having re-
ceived as gift ten ears of green corn,
determined to renew the recollections of
his youth, astonish his English and
please his American guests by having it
served ND in the well. known American
style.
Accordingly, at proper time, plates
of butter and salt were placed before
each guest, and the banker, with some
thing of an air of mystery, announced
that he was now about to treat his
guests to a well-known and delicious
American dish of food, cooked in the
American manner. It would be no
novelty to his American guests, but the
Englishmen must watch how it was dis
posed of by them, and follow their e1-
ample and manner of disposing of it.
Then, at a signal, enter stately butler
bearing a large covered dish, which he
deposited solemnly before Mr.. Peabody.
In a moment more, in obedience to the
bankers nod, he whisked off the cover,
and there, before the astonished guests,
was displayed pile of ten boiled corn
cobs
The banker gazed for an instant in
mute horror and dismay, and then found
voice to demand an explanation, which
was finally reached when the cook was
summoned-a fellow who had never be-
fore seen an ear of Indian corn in his life
who replied that he had followed his
masters directions to "strip off all the
outside before boiling" which he had
done most faithfully, not only husks, as
was intended, but kernels also, so that
the banker had only what is in America
the mute evidence of the feast to indl-
cate what were his good intentions to
his guests. Curtis Guild in A6road

Gen. Sherman on Neutrality.

The st. Louis Republican says that
not long since a resident of that city,
who was major in the army during the
war, wrote to the Turkish minister, Ar
istarchi Bey, offering his services in the
war with Russia, and referring to Gen.
Sherman for testimony as to his qualities,
should recommendation be required.
He also wrote to Gen. Sherman at Wash
ington, stating the case, asking the gen.
eral to reply as he might deem Just to
any inquiries made of him. The st.
Louis gentleman received from Gen.
Sherman the following:
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE UNITED
STATES,
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 4th, 1877.
Dear Sir Yours of May 1st is re-
ceived. It will not do for any person in
the service of the United States to ad-
wise anybody to enter the service OF a
nation at war. We must be neutral.

Reducing His Rent.

In passing over the New York Central
and Hudson River railroad few days
ago, correspondent learned this fact,
creditable in the highest degree to Mr..
William H. Vanderbilt, president of the
company. At one of the eating-houses
owned by the company the lessee was
paying Sc, 600 year rent. Mr.; Wander
biit said to him: eff you will give up
your. bar, cease the sale of intoxicating
liquor, 1 will reduce the rent to 81 300. =
The lessee at once accepted the liberal
offer of Mr.. Vanderbilt This act OF the
president of this great line of travel and
traffic is evidence of the faith that he has
in sober conductors and engineers, and
that he is disposed not to put. tempta-
tion in their way. This is contribution
by Mr.. Vanderbilt of 81, 800 a year to
the cause of sobriety.

A Rich Man and Wife at School.

A lady engaged in teaching the rudl.
mental branches to wealthy people OF
neglected education in New York has
been giving some of her experience in a
series of articles in the New York 1ete-
orana. Among others taught by her
we're a wealthy couple, of whom the
writer says:
But of all the cases of neglected edu-
cation which were brought within the
range of my personal experience, per-
haps the most interesting to me, and the
most touching, was that of nice and
matronly woman who appeared at my
rooms one day literally blazing with dla-
monds, with fifty dollar bonnet on her
head, and a twenty hundred dollar
cameTs hair shawl on her ample shoul-
ders. Though thus overloaded with
ornament the woman was not really vul-
gar. and after she had talked with me a
while I really liked her. She made a
confidant of me at once she told me
her simple history and her strange posi-,
ton. Fourteen years ago she had
been a chambermaid and her hus-
band had been private coachman,
both in the service of the same
family they had married, and her hus-
band had taken to his old trade of car
penter, and from carpenter he became
a builder, and from builder million
aire. He was now the fortunate owner OF
one of the finest houses on - avenue,
in New York, and his sons and daugh-
ters were being educated at the best
schools in the country. But up to this
date he had enjoyed no spare time to ac-
onire any knowledge save what was alb
solutely necessary to his business, while
his wife had remained as ignorant as at
first. Now the loving and worthy couple
began without any false pride to procure
it. Without further ado, without the
slightest pretense at reserve or mystery,
the worthy couple invited me to call
that very evening. There I met in a
private parlor two people waiting for
me, and only two-the wealthy builder
and his wife. found him as frank and
as hearty as had found her, and be-
fore that evening closed I had given my
Joint pupils their first lesson. They
we're docile as babes, and there was
something dramatic in the contrast be-
tween wealth and their ignorance, and
something pathetic in the humility with
which those successful worldings re-
ceived instruction. They studied as
though they were in country school
house under the eye of a village peda-
gogue. Taught them English grammar
principally. also corrected their pro-
nunciation, and, I trust, improved their
spelling and their penmanship. Above
all, I fatter myself that I won their
friendship, for I found them friends
worth having

A Deaf Elders Mistake.

Some times laugh will occur in the
serious minded congregation of a Con-
necticut church, as on recent Sunday.
The clergyman desired to call the atten-
ton of the congregation to the fact that,
it being the last Sunday of the mo ath,
he would administer the rite OF baptism
to children. Previous to his having en-
tered the pulpit he had received from
one of the elders, who was quite deaf, q
notice to the effect that as the children
would be present that afternoon, and he
had the new Sunday school song books
ready for distribution, he would have
them there to sell to all who desired
them. After the service the clergyman
begun the notice of the baptismal ser
vice, thus: call of those having chill
dren and desiring to have them baptized,
will bring them this afternoon. At
this point the deaf elder, hearing the
mention of children, supposed it was
something in reference to his books, and
rising, said: Cali of those having
none, and desiring them, will be sup
piled by me for the sum of twenty-five
cents each.

herself OUT on cake for their enter

declined to indulge further, and when
the lady herself tasted the cake she was
surprised to find it unpalatable. The
articles entering into the composition OF
the cake were examined In turn and
found oil right, the stove was taken down
and found in perfect order, and the mat,
ter seemed likely to remain enshrouded
in complete mystery, when dose OF Gil

An Imperial Joke.

# is we'll known that the Emperor
Joseph H., of Austria, disliked parade
and ostentation and indulged his taste
for simple and private habits. One day,
when riding out in small caleche,
which he drove himself, and attended
only by one servant, he was overtaken
by heavy rain and returned toward
Vienna. He was yet at some distance
when person on foot, who was also go
ing in that direction, hearing the noise,
turned and made sign to the driver to
stop.
The emperor stopped his horse.
"Sir," said the traveller, who was a
sergeant. elf it be not too great liberty,
T should be glad of lift; you have
room enough and I should save my uni.
form, which put on new this morning.
81 Let us save the uniform, my brave
fellow" said Joseph. "Place yourself
here. Where do you come from Just
now?"
"Ah, ah where do come from l
come from the house of a gamekeeper,
one of my friends, who has just given
me famous breakfast"
"What had you, then?".
"Guess."
"Nay! how can I guess? Beef ?
soup?"
"Well done; yes, soup, and better
than that"
"Some saurkraut %
The sergeant chuckled, and repeated ;
"Better than that"
GA breast of veal, then9"
"No. better than that"
"Well, then," said the facetious SOW
ereign, 81 can guess no longer, 1 must
give it up"
"Why, then, pheasant, my worthy !;
pheasant killed on the preserve of
his majesty. What do you think OF
that, eh ?" cried the sergeant, slapping
his unknown companion Oh the shoulder.
"Ah. indeed" replied he, "killed
on the emperor's preserve 1t must
have been all the better for that, I'll an
swer for it. =,
As they approached the city and the
rain continued to fall Joseph asked him
where he wished to be set down.
The sergeant made his excuses.
"No, no." said Joseph. Your
street ?" and at length the sergeant in
formed his majesty where he lodged and
begged to know to whom he was indebt-
ed for 90 many civilities.

"Better than that" said the monarch.

GA colonel ?"
"Better than that.
He began to open his eyes.
GA general, than %
Perhaps better still.
"What, the dickens?" said the poor
sergeant, shrinking into corner OF the
caleche. "Can you be field marshal ?"
He feigned grave voice and said !:
Something better still"
Ach it is the emperor"
Himself" said Joseph, unbuttoning
his plain coat and showing his decora-
tions.
The poor fellow in an agony entreated
the emperor to let him alight.
"No, no; not yet" said Joseph.
"After having eaten my pheasant you
would be too lucky if you got rid of me
so easily; I shall certainly see you to
your quarters. -.
And thus continuing to amuse himself
he drove him to them, after promising
to forgive the sergeant for having made
apoaching meal at the imperial expense.
