A Brothers. jealousy.
From g Paris Letter,

A telegram from the south supplies
us with the details of q sad tragedy
which has taken place in the neighbor-
hood of Marseilles. Some years ago a
widow, Nine. Resigne, who had q son,
married a widower, M. PignateI, pos
sessing a daughter named Madeleine.
The two children, Edenne Resigne and
Madeleine Pignatel, grew up together,
and in the course of years the youth
became enamored of the girl. On her
side Madeleine never entertained any
feeling toward her step-brother than
one of sisterly character. Some
months ago she was asked in marriage
by q young man of her district and
consented to become his wife. Etienne
was very much affected at this resolu-
ton of the young lady, and tried to dis
suade her from it. Being alone with
her yesterday, he pleaded his suit
fervently, but without effect, and, be-
coming blindly Infatuated with passion,
be struck the girl violently, without
seeming to know what he aid. Escap-
ing from him, she exclaimed, "Oh, Eli
enne, you have killed me-" He re-
piled, ~ will kill myself, too," and,
Selling fowling- piece that lay close by
loaded, he blew out his brains. The
girl was found to have received only q
few slight Commissions.

| count. A man is estimated not as in
New York for what he is worth in cash
or real estate, but for his power in the
politics of his state, his standing in
| congress-, his achievements In diplo-
macy or his talents rs supreme court
lawyer. The men of the greatest in
huence have often no private fortune
whatever. Cabinet ministers have
lived in modest boarding houses, and
senators have occupied cheap rooms
over retail stores. Henry Wilson,
while Vice President, stayed at third
rate hotel. When Mr.. Boutwell, was
secretary of the treasury he boarded
st q private house and kept no car
riage. Thaddeus Stevens, the almost
absolute master Of congress during the
war, occupied a little two story brick
house On by street, and lived with
great frugality. Mr.. Dawes, while at
the head of the great financial COM
mlttee OF the House, that had it in it's
power to make and unmake fortunes,
was content with two small chambers
IN q hotel. The influence of these
men would have been no greater if
they had owned palatial residences and
dispensed lavish hospitality. Now
and then a man of ordinary talents at
ta1ns to some consideration by having
the means to entertain handsomely
and the social tact to make his invita-
lions valued, but such instances are ex-
ceptional. AS rule wealthy men who
enter public life here are rated with
out any reference to their fortunes.

A Curious Coin Found in the Heart OF
an Oak.
From the Warren County (Mo.) Banner.

From the Warren County (Mo.) Banner.
While chopping on white oak tree,
one day last week, in the pasture of
Mr.. Joseph Guggenmoos, in the edge
of town, Mr.. August Antmiler found a
silver rs cent piece embedded eight
inches in the wood. The piece of
money is either French or Spanish,
and was made in the year 1774 1t
was about three feet and a half above
the base of the tree, and had been put
there by a hole being bored into the
tree and afterwards plugged up. The
money was wrapped in paper, on which
there had been writing, but as it
crumbled to pieces Immediately after
being removed from the wood only
two or three letters on it could be dis
tinguished. The coin had evidently
seen much service before it was ever
placed in the tree, as it was almost
smooth from use, though it had evil
IDENTITY been buried where it was found
for many years. Why it was there and
who put it there is a mystery that will
perhaps never be known.

MY cRANDFATHER'S HOUSE.
BY CARRIE F. HOWARD.


fMy arandfathers housed" what fond m memories
Around the old hearthstone, now sadly alone
No light from the window beams out on the trav-
eler,
No sound breaks the stiffness but the winds SOL
ernn moan.
AS it sweeps through the branches Of the Lom-
That long has stood sentry DER the old roof
In imagination again, stand in its shelter,
And some of my fancies would weave into wool
Oft thought when child, as watched it's tall
shadow,
That fell cross the door-yard in the long sum-
day,
How much higher shall be if e'er reach Heaven:
Than the tops of those branches, where the sum-
mer winds play.
Sad reoolections tonight come thronging aroun d
AS list for the voices no more shall hear,
Loved retreat of my childhood, my mind loves to
HDger
Around each spot by association made dear.
No sunlight so soft as that which fell sparkling
Around the old we'll curb al the east door,
No water SO pure from he old well came flowing,
Drawn by the hands that will do so no more.
And well remember the old apple orchard,
That stood on the hillside just over the way.
The spring that from under the rock came bu b.
bling,
Where brother and I used so often to play.
sn6 then those bright sunny days in October,
When the leaves of the forest golden and
brswn,
When the apples were ripe, and the branches were
bending
With the weight of their luscious fruit near to the
ground.
An, then it was bliss, with my own loved brother
To go with baskets, ON bright autumn
morn.
With our darling old Grand Sire to gather the
apples
That mid the green grass were thickIy strewn
round
All, brother, dear brother, little then think
ms,
When Ger those old hills, hand in hand we would
roam,
That in drear rebel prison, thoud finish thy life
Sc far from the friends o: thy Green Mountain
Heme.
Yes, alone thou didst die; mother sto cd by thee
No sister to wipe the death damp from thy brow,
No stone marks thy resting place, but it matters
little,
Thy spirit with angels is worshiping now.
No shall the loud booming cannon arouse
thee,
No more the shrek of shrapnel or shell,
No more the terrors of the dead lire appal thee
In peace thou art resting, dear brother farewell
Yes, farewell till we ct in you peaceful Heaven
For no war drums sh all beat on that happy shore
No tears dim the eye the sad thought of parting
Neither snail thou unger or thirst any more,
--EaarJa1, Vermont.

AnecdOte of General Changarnier.

In the Army of Africa, General Chan-
GARNER became known to his comrades
as Pommadin," owing to his custom
of stiffening his moustache with po-
madum. To his disgust, General Bu-
geaud addressed him by that name.
One day it was question Of attacking
the Arabs, and Changarnier rushed
into the Commanding Generals room,
and asked to be sent with the expe-
dition. General !" he exclaimed,
with assurance, 81 have followed cam
paigns enough to know the art of

Colonel" said General Bugeaud. Not
a reason and why not, pray :" Mar
shall de SAKE had a mule which fol-
lowed all his campaigns, and yet was
not able to command an army"
The officers laughed st this joke,
and Changarnier rushed out in q rage.
He never forgave Bugeaud, and only
awaited the moment when they would
be equal in rank to challenge him.
After Isly, where Changarnier behaved
splendidly, he was made a general,
and rushed off to Bugeaud's headquar-
tiers. CHOW, General Bugeaud, our
time has come. am your equal in
rank, and we can settle our private af-
fairs"
"Pardon, General, you are moment
too late; have just received the baton
of Marshal. You've no luck, Chan
garnier; but don't be discouraged. ]

and you are bound to catch up with
me one of these days. Bonnie chance,

THE WARRIORS REVENGE.
BY HENRY w. LoNaFRLLoW,

In that desolate land and lone,
Where the Big Horn and Yellowstone
Roar down their mountain path,
by their fires the Sioux chiefs
Muttered their woes and griefs
And the menace of their wrath.
Revenge !" cried Ram -in-the Face,
Revenge upon all the race
VI the White Chief with yellow hair 7"
ana the mountains dark and high
FROM their crags re- echoed the cry
VI his anger and despair.
In the meadow, spreading wide
BY the woodland and river side
The Indian village stood;
All was silent as dream,
Save the rushing of the stream
And the blue jay in the wood.
In his war paint and his beads.
Like bison among the reeds.
In ambush the Sitting Bull
Lay with three thousand braves
Crouched in the clefts and caves,
Savage, unmerciful!
Into the fatal snare
The White Chief with yellow hair
And his three hundred men
Ddoucu uedu1OuSs SWOru III udHU,
But of that gallant band
No one returned again.
The sudden darkness of death
Overwhelmed them, like tine breath
And smoke of furnace fire;
By the rivers band, and between
The rocks of the ravine,
They lay in their bloody attire.
Blu It the foemen fed In the night,
And Rain il. the Face, in his flight
Uplifted high in air
AS CHASTITY trophy, bore
The brave heart, that beat no more,
Of the White Chief with yellow lair.
Whose was the right and the wrongf
Sing it, 0 funeral song,
With voice that is full of tears,
And say that our broken faith
Wrought all this ruin and seattle,
In the Year Of Hundred Years

The Charm of Washington Life.
Wash. Cor. Philadelphia Time

A chief charm of life in Washington
is the fact that one is entirely out of
the world of business and money
making. There is no talk of stocks or
trade. The atmosphere of the market
and the exchange does not penetrate
to the drawing room, and the lions of
an evening party are not prosperous
manufacturers, the rich merchants or
successful brokers. Nowhere in the
United States is wealth of so little ac-

CuriOsitieS of Life.

Lay your finger on your pulse and
know that at every stroke some i'm.
mortal passes to his Maker; some fel.
low being crosses the river of death
and if we think of it we may well wen.
der that 1t should be so long before our
turn comes.
Half of all who live die before seven

Only one person in ten thousand
lives to be hundred years old, and
but one in hundred reaches sixty

The married live longer than the

There is one soldier to every eigh:

born ninety-fve weddings take place.

dollars week." Well, let's see. Saw
seventy-tive cents week for cigars,
one dollar for billiards, one dollar for
the theatre or concert, seventy cents
for beer, three dollars for house rent,
three dollars for marketing, three dol
lars for clothes, and one dollar for Incl
dentals; total, $13.45. No; we don't
think he could live on SIX dollars q
week, unless he and his wife would be
willing to forego the luxuries of clothes
and victuals, and move every month a
few days before the rent BONES due.
Better not get married until his salary
Is raised to seven dollars week-un-

throwing off his apron, preparatory to
putting on his coat He remembered
full well the scandalous falsehood be
had told concerning his visitor, but be
felt assured it had not yet reached the
victims ears, SO he was quite easy.
In few minutes the cobbler-farmel
was ready, and he set out. The way
was through the barn, down the lane
into the pasture, and over g. gentle
swell Of land, being distance of about
quarter of mile from the house
The sun was nearly down when they
reached the grove, and the wind was
cold and searching. Jed shivered some
and as he noticed how comfortable bis

wished he had taken his own
There, this is the place." said the

bestrew the ground.

some of his friends dropped in.

last night" said Stewart, and he came
home after got there. My conscience !
I never saw man look so terrible as
he did. He took two great pistols out
of his bosom, and laid 'em back in his
desk; and I heard him tell his wife not
to touch 'em on any account; for
said he, they're both loaded, and
may have to use 'em. At all events,
says he, I'm a goin' to protect our
people agin brute that does a good
DEAF more mischief than a robber.' He
wouldn't tell me what he meant. but
he must have meant something dread
full"
Jed trembled, but he did not speak.
and from that time forth his tongue
spoke no more SANDER. If, at times.
he caught himself with such words on
his lips, they were quickly recalled.
For year or so he was held in check
by fear; but at the end of that time he
had begun to learn that there were
higher and more noble inducements
for q virtuous life,, and he thus be-
came good neighbor. And just alb out
this time, too, he was told that Ather-
ton had fired off the two pistols, and
that he said, when he did so, he "guess-
ed there'd be no more need of 'em."
Jed was easy now, but his tongue, once
mastered, kept in the right track ever
afterwards.
