Fight Between two StallfOns
Erf,,,, the Defyoit Free Press

One night last week son of +. G.
Brush, who owns large farm near Bir.
mingham, came heme at a late hour, and
when stabling stallion forgot to tie MIN
In his stall. After consuming the feed
In the stall the stallion wandered out in
to the stable and attacked his mate, a
stallion tied in stall close by. The i'm
prisoned beast endeavored to break
loose so as to defend himself, and maxi
ing a spring to jump through a manger
door before him, the top of which was
let down, was caught in the halter and
thrown on the floor. The other stallion
pounced upon him with his sharp iron
koefs, and sank his teeth into tho flesh
Of the PROSTATE animal, which fought as
well as he could. The struggle continued
until the PROSTATE stallion was exhausted
and the other left him for deac. w On
found in the morning, the beaten animal
was dragged out almost lifeless, and his
fine a nd smooth hide all chopped and
bitten.

Lee md Longstreet.

In an article in the last issue Of the
Philadelphia Weekly Times, Gen. Long
street has the following in regard to the
official relation which existed between
Gen. Lee and himself during the late
war: "a
"At this late day the official relations
of Gen. Lee and myself are brought into
question. He Is credited with having
used uncomely remarks concerning me,
In the presence OF number of subordi-
nate officers, just on the eve of battle. 1t
10 hardly possible that any one acquaint-
Ell with Gen. Lees exalted character will
accept such statements as true. 1t is
hardly possible that any general should
have been 50 indiscreet as to have used
such expressions under such circum-
stances. There certainly never was in
the relations between Gen. Lee and my
self anything to admit the possibility OF
his having used the expression attribu-
ted. Our relations were affectionate, In
innate and tender during the whele war.
That his confidence in me was never
shaken there is the most abundant proof,
but cannot be tempted, even by direct
misrepresentation, into a discussion OF
this subject"
Gen. Longstreet recites some OF the
incidepts of the second battle of Manass-
as to show the confidence which G sner-
al Lee reposed in his judgment.

not only disobedient, but several days
after the chase had ended 1t the Dela-
ware, and CORVALLIS had relinquished
it, Lee, yet lingering in New Jersey,
suffered himself to be captured at some
distance from his army, by q small
British scout. Taken to New York.
he was used harshly at first by General
Howe as British deserter, but very
soon that commander and his officers
treated Lee with marked consideration.
And well they might; for Lee revealed
to Howe the political condition of Penn
sylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and Vir-
ginia, and presented him with written
plan for the subsection of the colonies,
which promised better results than that
of the ministry. He made it appear so
plainly that land and naval expe-
dition up the Chesapeake and Della
ware bays would prove successful, that
the brothers Howe abandoned the
ministerial plan ard largely accepted
Lees. They sailed for Chesapeake
bay with greater part of the British
army, instead of going up the Hudson
to cooperate with Burgoyne coming
down from the North. Howe landed
his troops on the shores of Maryland,
marched into Pennsylvania, gained a
victory on the banks of the Brandy
wine Creek, frightened congress from
Philadelphia, took possession Of that
city in the autumn Of 1777, and held it
until June 1878. This abandonment of
Burgoyne caused the loss Of that en-
erals army and its splendid appoint
ments, and the ruin of the ministerial
plan.-Bensom J. Losing, in Harper's
Magazine for June.

He then placed hh carpet sack between

Little JOhnnie's "Piece on Owls"

Wen you come to see 'em close
they got offle big eyes, but wen you feel
'em with yur fingers, which they
bites, you find they have only got jest
enuf meat to hold there fethers to
gether Once there was man thot he
would like owl for pet, so he tole
the bird man to send him the best one
in the shop; but wen it was brot home
he look at it and skeweezed it, but it
didn't suit. So the man he wrote a
letter to the bird man, and said: "Dear
sir: l take my pen in hand to inform
you I'll keep the owl which you have
sent, tho it amt like l wanted, but
wen it is ded you must make me a
other, with little eyes, cos l spose these
is bout No 12's, but if l pay you the
same price for No. IS, mebby you can
afford to put in more OWL"
Owls is very wise, but my sisters
yung man says anybody cude be wise
if they wude set up mites, like owls. for
to take notice. That Teller is comm
to our house agin. jest as he used to,
only more, and when l asst him what
made him come 40 much, he said he
was a man of science, like me, and
was studyin orny thology, which was

studyin, and he said angels, and wen
he said it my sister she look out OF the
winder, and said wot fine day it had
turned out to be, but it WAS rainin cats
and dogs when she said it. l never
seen such a goose in my life as that
girl, but Uncle Ned, WITCH has been in

are jest that way in Maddygasker.
There was a mans house one mite
which was a spiritlist. and some folks
was there which bleeved in it too, SO
they oil jined hands, and set down to a
table without any supper on it, and
turned off the gas 10, just tiny bit of
lite. After while there was raps, and
the man which thay was in his house
said: "Wot spirit is PRESENT." but no

New Use for Lighthouses.
Pittsburg C Commercial Gazette.

The Committee on Gaslighting held a
meeting Saturday afternoon. George
Magg submitted a proposition for light
ing the city which has the novelty of
originality at least. He proposes to
erect three lighthouses ono to be
placed on Nunnery Hill, one on Coal
Hill, and one on Heron Hill,-:rom
which shall be emitted "such flood of
light that, anywhere in Pittsburg or
Allegheny, pin could be seen if lying
on the pavement in the darkest night"
The liz hts will be 80 located that per-
feet crossing of the beams will be effect
ed, and every light will neutralize the
shadows Of the other. The lanterns
are to be Of such an elevation that they
overlook the surrounding hills. Each
of them will be provided with four
lights, and four concave refectols from
six to eight feet wide and from ten to
twelve feet high. The rehectors are to
be made of copper, heavily plated with
silver, the latter to be polished to the
highest degree. In speaking of the fea-
sibility Of this plan, he mentions Ger
many, Austria, and France as using
white lights to the exclusion of gas. II
acceptable Mr.. Magg will raise COM
pany Of capitalists, who will build and
equip lighthouses, guarantee keepers
salaries, and run the concern for seven
teen years without cost to the city.
What is required of the city amounts
to this: All the lamp-posts are to be
handed over for the use of the company,
to be fitted up rs advertising mediums
by means of revolving caskets, and the
income to be derived therefrom to 90
into the pockets Of spectators. At the
termination of the seventeen years the
city, on payment of original costs, takes
over the whole apparatus. The author
admits that each lamp will bring in
$500 per year, which will give total
income of 81, 10000 for the same Pc
rod. If the cities are averse to ac-
cepting that proposition, Mr.. Magg
goes further, and sta.es that he will, for
a consideration of $780, 900, superintend
the erection of his inventions, and hand
them over finally. He considers the
above sum a." mere drop In q bucket
considering the immense income re-
ceivable in seventeen years." The
communication was referred to sub
committee, composed of Messrs. Keller,
Kerr, and Littell, to examine and report
upon it.

A Romance OF Despair.
Puck.

The scene was Niagara. She stood
gazing at the angry waters, rs they DASH
ed over the falls. She had come all the
way from Omaha. and this was the cause
of it.
Her husband, in a fit of anger, had
declared that she wasn't half rs smart
as his wife in Germany.
"A wife in the fatherland Snakes,
frizzes, and scorpions!" she cried, as she
fell az ainst the side of the house.
Upon recovering, she Immediately
contemplated suicide. She thought Of
pistol. rope, carving knife, arsenic, etc,
but they were all too common,
She would end her life upon grand
scale. She would do it up in q romantic
style, furnishing food for the brain of
the writer Of a yellow-backed gem Of
literature.
She boarded the first train for Niagara,
and there she stood, looking sorrowful-
ly at the foaming pillows. She took
down her back-hair, threw away her
teeth, upper and under set, and was
getting the proper expression of counte-
nance preparatory to making the fatal
plunge, when 4 hackman tapped her
upon the shoulder and demanded his
pay for carrying her over the Suspen-
sion Bridge.
Picking up her teeth, and putting
them back into her mouth, she impa-
tiently asked his price.
"Ten dollars, madam" replied the
Jehu. with demoniac grin.
"Ten dollars! You agreed to carry
me over for 50 cents, you scoundrel.

Counting the Cost Of War.
London Times.

Relatively and absolutely, this coun-
try is better able to stand long and
wasteful war than it was in the time of
Napoleon. We do not deny that the
sacrifices of such a contest would be
terribly heavy even to her, but they
would not be ruinous. Now, that this is
precisely what would be to Russia. Her
people, it would seem, anticipated some
great financial catastrophe with the
=" light heart" Of fanaticism. They say
they are ready to face national bank
ruptcy and mortgage the resources of
the future by an unlimited issue of pa
per money, rather, than submit to what
they call the dictation of England. 1t is
undoubtedly true that the fighting spirit
of nation is not to be put down by the
want of money. Where" says Ma

The soldiers of the French Republic
were beginning to foil the best troops
in Europe while handfuls of assignats
were still needed in Paris to buy a few
loaves of bread. But the fact remains
that war is the most wasteful form of
human effort, and that it was never so
costly As it is to-day. 1t cannot be far
short of twice as expensive as it was at
the seize of Sebastopol. During the

Mutual Friends.
Danbury News.

Human nature is the same the world
over, as the following incident will holm
to show. A Danbury insurance agent
called on two of his customers. Who's
premises adjoin, for renewal Of ths;,
policies. The first one is a grocer. The
agent said to him:
81 suppose, Mr.. -, that YOU will
renew your policy which expires next
week! I have called to see about It"
"Well, 1 suppose I'll have to-" said
the grocer. " AS far as I'm concerned
there is no need whatever that should
insure. l am here all day to look after
things, and there amt bit of danger
of fire from my place. But there's no
telling what that fellow next door will
do, and as long as he's there I've got to
keep insured"
The agent called on the customer
next door, who is a baker. He could
not help reasoning that if the danger
in that establishment was 80 great, there
was a possibility of having the amount
of its policy doubled. at least.
He told the baker why he called, sN
limited that there might he probabl
ity or desire to increase the policy
"No," said the baker, scratchingE
head thoughtfully, II don't beliewN
add any to it. wouldn't insuresl
if wasn't where l am. You seem |
up all night baking. and can watch
things, so there's no danger here but
there's no telling what that crap next
door will be up to. If II wasn't for him
I wouldn't insure a cent; but as 1t is,
I've got to do it."
