An Extraordinary Career.

The most important event in the his
tory of the German Pioneer Association
probably occurred last evening, at their
regular meeting, being the advent
amongst them of an old Prussian SOL
der and physician, nearly hundred
years old, who had served in most of
the great wars of the last and the pres
ent century. His name is Johann
Friedrich Won Herder, and his age is
ninety-seven years. He was son of
one of Frederick he-G Greats famous
Generals, and at an early age served as
military physician in the Pr,lssian
Army. At the battle of Jena ne was
wounded and taken prisoner, and after
recovering his health accepted "A posi-
ton on the medical staff of the French
Army, afterward being appointed staff
physician to the great Napoleon. He
followed The giant of battles through
all his subsequent wars. He saw the
great fire of Moscow and endured the
awful suiIerings of the immemorably
disastrous retreat which followed. He
was in Egypt; beheld the celebrated
charge of the Mamelukes upon the
French squares. and heard the famous
eXhortation Of the Petite Corporal,
telling his soldiers that forty centuries
were looking down upon them from
the sum nits Of the pyramids. He SAW
Waterloo, the charge of the cuiraSslers.
the defeat of the Old Guard, the
slaughters of the terrible pursuit.
Afterward he joined the Turkish
Il t,,naI in tln I
the Sultan until the time of the Greek
War and the massacre of Scio. when
his sympathies being enlisted in the
cause of humanity he joined the Greek
forces az an army physician. After
the war he again went to France and
joined he French Army. He went to
| Alsiers and served there. He subSe-
Quently returned to Germany, got mar

Then you must be ruined, young

him. 50 notice your sister helps you
quite too frequently"
Joe made comic gesture of resig-
nation, then lifting his right hand. he
exclaimed:

Have SO incensed that | am reckless what

IN so tragic a manner that the p0ter-
tamtl5aS turned away to hide smile,
while the rest Of The little circle shout
ed with laughter. Then Joe made
pretense to dash away any quantity of
tears, and resumed his task with a
haggard, woe-begone look, that was
not changed by the mirth of the others,
though little Pete declared that ne
must be laughing inside.
Your aunts are very good women
resumed Mr.. Davis, folding up his
newspaper, "but / can assure you
they were not always 50 sedate, and
can remember their merry laughter
and pretty faces long before time and
grief had sobered them"
You don't tell me they were ever
young?' queried Joe, his mobile face

Young and good deal more full
OF fun and mischief than ever you
We're you young mad-cap. Why,
when the court used to sit in Lansing,

fifteen lawyers in the house. and those
two girls entertained them in such a
manner shat their fame went through
all the county. They were full of
pluck, too. Did ever tel YOU how
they kept house at Fernfall :" he
asked, turning TO his wife, who shook
her head.
Fernfall was the old family mansion,
the scenery about which was remarka-
ole Tor Its great variety of ferns, anG
its pretty and numerous waterfalls. 1t
had once been place of great repute,
IN old Colonial times, sheltering Gov
ernors and Generals and distinguished
men and women, and though partly
falling to decay, it still retained traces
OF It's grandeur, had its haunted room.
