A Birthday Reunion.

EDS. HERALD:
A very pleasant meeting of the children,
friends and neighbors of Mrs. Eliza Orr,
occurred at the old Orr homestead, on the
Wabash pike, AZ miles south of Wash
ington, February Goth. 1873, to celebrate
the sixty-seventh anniversary of her
birth.
While the old lady was attending morn
ing service, at the NJ. E. Church near by,
the friends came in with their baskets full
and had the dinner all prepared and ready
for the self-invited guests. 1t was very
pleasant surprise for the mother as she
returned from church to find her children
ready to welcome her with joy, and to
surround the family table once more.
The following is list of those who
were present: Rev. J. W. Wakefield,
j. NJ. johnson and lady, Chris. Groves
and family, Mrs. Ellen McElwain, j. S.
Orr and family, William Brannon sand
lady. Miss Alma Hinkson, VIM. Orr and
family, Samuel Fisher and lady, Misses
Otie and Ella Post, Hugh Snyder and
lady, o. w. Rowe and family, Miss Lizzie
Waddle, Wm. Wilson, Henry Snyder and
lady, and Mr.. and Mrs. John Orr, making
| in all forty persons.
At2 p. m. dinner was ready and three
large tables well filled, which literally
grOaned with good things to tempt the
| appetite and please the eye. Among other
things were two large roast turkeys, a
surloin of roat beef, six fine large cakes,
with apple plum and cherry pies, and
peaches and strawberries for dessert.
| Much pleasant conversation was en-
| joyed, many pleasant "reminiscences mar
rated and everything passed off very
pleasantly. Among those present were
four children and thirteen grandchildren
of the happy old couple who resided
there. May they yet live many happy
years, surrounded by the loved ones who
unbrOken family around the Great White
Throne. w. S.

The Boy Who Wanted a Drink.

The Burlington Hasckege fiend. in des
cribing recent railway Journey, saws
Moreover, l saw the boy who wanted a
drink-a restless, questioning, uneasy,
th irsty boy. He let the window fall on his
fingers before the train had gone a mile.
He steod out on the platform until he was
eDcrusted two inches deep with ashes and
dust and cinders. He went to the water
cooler and go drink then he came back
and told bis mother be was hot and went
back and got another drink. He drank
about four times per mile, seldom Oftener
unless be was suddenly seized with an un-
comfortable spasm OF thirst If he vas
drinking and somebody else came after
drink, the boy would suddenly seize the
cup he had just sat down aud refill it, and
drink as though he had wrapped his
stomach in the desert of Sahara, glaring
suspiciously over the top of the cup at the
waiting passengers as he drank.
When be was III his seat he watched the
aisle narrowly, and if he saw any passenger
get up and move toward the water-co cooler
he would jump up aud race for it. If he
got there first, ne would drink and snore
over the cup until thirsty passengers forgot
what he went down there for. People be-
gan TO wonder how much the boy was
gauged for aud if he wasn't rather strain
ing his capacity. The remotest hint or
suggestion was sufficient to send him to
the cooler When the train ran over a
creek, the water made him think of his
thirst. When it ratified over long stretch
of prairie, the absence of water drove him
mad / was afraid the supply of water
would give out before the boy was filed
up, and he was rather small boy, too.
His interior circumference. | think. must
have enclosed an area double ia extent to
that enclosed by the exterior belt. Near

boy making a stop at the tank.

full that during such an unbeatd of absti-
nence from water, his pumps would run
dry, rust out, aud be might blow up. So 1
leaned over the edge of the seat aud said,
carelessly
''By George, but an thirsty. I wond-
er If there is any water Gu this car ?''
You want to understand me now, as re

mental reservation, the fact that that boys

Her eyes snapped when she heard my
careless aud innocent remark, she took 10
every syllable of it, and she turned on me
in a flash with
& wish you would mind your own bust
ness and leave my bPy alone"
A low, mocking murmur Of applause
went through the car, little of it for the
Indignant mother, some of it for the charity
boy, but mostof it for me. She suppressed
yours truly very successfully, bat it was
too late. Long before she finished that
brief sentence, her boy was down at the
water cooler, holding his eyes tight shut
to keep the water from running out of
them, while he flooded his system as
though he had taken a contract TO keep up
a Parental Baptist revival inside of him

WANDERINGs OF AN OLD VIOLIN
Among tho New Yo'kers who fought in
the Mexican war was musician named
Boyd, whose skill with the bow was often
turned to account when time hung heavy
in camp or the spirits of the boys dropped.
After the capture of the capital Boyd met
a Mexican officer who told him of an old
and highly priced violin, the property Of
another officer, He hunted up the owner,
and found that the instrument was genu-
iDe Cremona. Every grain bore unnlis
taxable evidences of age, and Boyd deter
mined 70 secure it and carry it home as a
trophy, All offers OF barter were indignant
ly refused by the Mexican, and the Ameri-
can was obliged to obtain by foul means
what he could not by fair. He carried the
instrument home and used it for several
years, but its history was kept secret until
in time of adversely he was compelled, to
part with it. 1t went into the possession
of Mr. Barnes, who paid three buudred
leilars for it. 1t descended to bis 500, Dr.
r. A Barnes of Richmond. During its
travels it had been shattered TO fragments,
and was no longer of any practical value
Mr.. A. b. Clark, a virtuoso OF much ex-
perienee. saw it on exhibition, aud ex-
changed it for a fine instrument of his own
make. By three months labor he has
restored it to its original shape and tone.
The back and neck are new, but the frame
and top were made by. Nicholas Ammatis.

Ammatis, and is remarkable for the very
large arch and deep belly. The tone is
soft aud sweet. but very powerful, growing
louder as the listener recedes, until he is
beyond a point where an ordinary insJru-
ment would be inauoible. -

SAVE MAMMA. Capt. Roscoe Burke,
of the steamer Henry Clay, plying between
Cincinnati and Wabash, relates the follow
ing
Down on the Mississippi, near st. Louis,
one of his boilers exploded or collapsed in
backing away from a wood wharf and the
steamer was sinking. Many of the pas
sengers had leaped overheard, some with
life-pteservers and some without. Among
the latter, who had been swept over by the
wildly rushing mass of humanity, were a
boy Of 10 years and his mother. A man
upon the stern of the boat, seeing the boy
buffetiRg the troubled waves, attempted 10
throw him rope, and at the same time
crying cut to him to catch it and save him
self.

mother was proud aud found Of him, wor
