AWaitert turns out to be NobIeman.

For the past two years there has
dwelt in Eureka, New, young man
who, although following the occupa-
tion Of restaurant waiter, attracted
attention on account Of his superior
learning and intelligence. He spoke
ve'different languages with huency,
was well posted in all matters Of
semitic character, possessed an init
mate acquaintance with current liter
aturc, and was at no loss in reference
to the entanglements and mysteries Of
the European war question: When
ever he could get hold Of a sympa-
thetic listener, he would dwell learn
edly on the Russian policy, aud ex-
plain in detail the probable moves on
the political ehess-beard The jaw
breaking words that almost give the
lockjaw to English speaking people
rolled glibly from his tongue. AS for
foreign dispatches, he fairly reveled in
them. When questioned as to his past
history, he would auswei Story, sir,

however, camo to an end, and the
Eureka Sentinel furnishes its readers
with the following account Of the
learned waiter; He was born in Mos
COW, in Russia, Of noble parentage,
and his title is Count Alexander
HUM. He was educated at the Uni.
versity Of Kharkov, and after com
pleting his studies entered the army,
where, by family standing and influ-
ence, he rapidly rose to the rank of
colonel. His prospects were very
bright until one unfortunate day when
he became embroiled in quarrel with
brother officer A duel was the re-
suit, and the count killed his autago.
MIST AS the code was prohibited, and
infractions Of the law in that respect
are rigidly punished, Colonel Huhn
fled the country, and for the past
three years has been q wanderer in
foreign lands. His family, exasper-
atel at his con luct, disowned him,
and he finally brought up in Eureka
and engaged in the humble occupation
of a waiteK When the European
complication arose he opened cor
respOndence with the Russian govern
ment and his family. The latter re-
called their displeasure, aud secured
his pardon by the government. He
has not only been pardoned, but re-
stored to his rank Of colonel in the
Chasseurs Of the Grenadiers. A few
days ago he received official notice OF
the fact, and also a letter from the
consul at San Francisco, who had re-
ceived orders to provide the count
with funds and transportation home
He will join his corps in the field, and
the next that we hear Of him may be
through dispatches received from the
seat Of war in the East.

A Gamblers Remarkable Escape.

A well known correspondent, being
detained at Milan, Tennessee, recent
ly, made the acquaintance of Geo. Fl.
Devol, the gambler. He is gentle
manly looking person of forty-sevsn,
dark sandy hair, light sandy whiskers,
beginning to show the silver; quick,
piercing gray eye, ruddy complexion,
is of good address, and sweet talker.
He was born in Ohio, but for thirty
years has been a gambler
While operating on the ShOrtline
road, near Lagrange, he won about
1900 and five gold watches, and end
cd the game just as the train was leay-
ing Lagrange on its way to Cincinnati,
The victims squealed terribly, and
proposed to have their treasure or
bloed They marshaled their forces
and drew their revolvers. Devol skip
ped into the rear coach, locking the
door as he went. He then went to
the rear platform, and, although the
train was running at the rate Of thirty
five miles an hour, selected a clear
spot and jumped. He rolled over at a
lively rate, but picked himself up un-
hurt, though his late friends fired
,volley at him from their revolvers.
He cut across the country and struck
the railroad at Lexington junction,
and went back to Louisville.
"The closest place l WAS ever in my
life, said Devol, twas in 80. L was
coming up the river from New Or
leans in the steamer Fairchild, and
had won a great deal of money. The
boat landed at Napoleon, and about
twenty i've of those killers there, who,
in those days, did not think any more
of killing a man than they did rat,
get aboard. | opened out and won n
good deal Of money and four or five
watches. Everything went along
smoothly enough until about four
o'clock in the afternoon, when they
begun to got drunk. One of them said
where is that blasted gambler; lea
going to kill him! Pm with you,
said another, Il, too, said another.
And the whole party rushed to their
state rooms anddgot their pistols. l
slipped up and got between the pilot
house and the roof. They now search
ed the boat from stem to storn, but
did not once think Of locking ander

pilot that when he came TO bluff

was weighted down with the watches
aud gold had won, and the distance
was more than l thought, and ] miss
ed the bank and stuck tight, waist
-deep, in soft mud at the waters edge
The killers saw me, and as the boa
swung out they opened FIRE. l coulc

army would only be an ornament and
cost, without any material benefit, 1t Is
but right that no such power should De

of the people should be in the interests
of peace aud prosperity rather than in
the interests of bloodshed and war. But
if the emergency should arise, if call
to arms should be found necessary in
the course of affairs, then the manufac-
lures would be stopped, the tools of the
workmen would be left in the shops, the
stores would be closed. the wheels of
business would stop. and an army would

fight to death for the cause of liberty

lated a suburban town with an ora
tion, from which we quote:
= And we rejoice to-day,
and are proud and happy and glad,
glad, glad, that our fathers died for
us instead of compelling us to die
for them. They were great, grand
men. In fact, they were, many of
them, great-grandfathers.
q 1t is sweet to die for ones coun-
try. 1t seems to me that |, too,

me, and / will either come or send

Our fathers died for us. They
died willingly and gladly. But il
they could come back to-day and
see what kind of a crowd they died
for, quarreling over the Presidents
policy, wrangling over the currency,
and some of them trying to pay a
dollars worth of debt with ninety
cents worth Of money, talking pol
itics twenty-three hours a day and
praying so seldom that our knees
get rusty, drowned out by rain, de.
youred by grasshoppers, they would,
if they had it to do over again, live
nine thousand years and only die
then when they had to.
And yet ours is a glorious coun-
try. A wonderful, magnificent
countryl 1t is marvellous. AS a
high school girl would say, it is
"nice." Look abroad over our land,
turn the pages of history, and see
what the mighty genius Of progress
has wrought. But one short cen.

mighty fabric was laid, amid the
