The West Virginia Sanger.

A correspondent of New York paper
writing from Lynch burg, Va, describes
the "Saugers," their habits and their
country. They are curious race Of
mountaneers who inhabit several wild
counties of West Virginia. Their origin
is unknown. The pure Sanger is a being
by himself. The Digger Indian is the
nearest parallel to him, but the SAUCER
is better physically ard has more intel
ligence than the Digger. The colonies
of the Sauge,s were recruited by deserters
from both armies during the war, and
the influence of these foreigners among
them has perhaps elevated the moral and
social condition of the race. Lawful
mar iage is unknown among them, and
they have no use for lawyers, doctors or
preachersor school teachers. They live
in the woods and among the rocky fast
nesses far away from the highways and
civilized settlement. Their abodes ale
log cabins, with mud chimncys and some
times caves and holes in the
ground. They live on game,
and include in the list which
luIHlhlleH ClltlI VII VI ldie, IdCCOollS, OPP
possums, ground hogs, squirrels, snakes,
owls, crows, polecats and other animals
that come to their traps. The women
drink tea of sassafras and the roots of
the golden rod. In the spring they find
a delicacy in brook trout, which people
the mountain streams and pools. They
despise frogs, which are about the only
living things the Sanger does not eat,
while fried grasshoppers are rare lux
ury. The Saugers have commerce too.
They dig the ginseng root, which is
plentiful in the mountains, steal into
the nearest settlement by night, and sell
it by appointment with their grocer, and
steal out again with corn meal and bacon,
of which they have learned the value,
when their small game is scarce. The
ginseng is shipped to China, where it
commands high price. So they con-
tribute te the outside world, after all,
and are not altogether useless human
beings.

George Cruiksllank.

Although George Cruikshank was near
ly ninety when he died, a few weeks ago,
he looked like hale and active man of
sixty-fve. His head, scarcely bowed or
blanched to the very last, was massive
and we'll shapen. He had high fore
head, blue-gray eyes full of cheerful,
sparkling light, penthouse brows, some
high cheek bones, a prominent aquiline
nose, and mouth cut in firm, sharp
lines. There was curious and original
individuality in his hair. 1t had dwin-
died to q few thin locks, which by care
full combing and an artful continuance
so rumor ran-of wire and elastic were
persuaded to cover his head. Thus to
the end he repudiated the imputation of
badness, and with greater justice could
point triumphantly to the fact that his
sparse wisps of hair were still mellow
brown in hue, and soft as silk in texture.
In his port and mien, indeed, until
almost the very moment when the hand
of the Grim Sergeant was laid upon his
shoulder, there WAS but little Of the fee
bleness and loss of the caducity of age.
Its garrulity he had; but the friends re.
joiced in the good old mans loquacity,
recognizing, as they did, the undimmed
clearness of his understanding and the
tenacity of his memory. He could re.
member perfectly we'll trifing oc.
currences which happened in 1900
but he did not forget events which
happened in 1877. He was, tc
sum up, a ]ight-heartcd, merry
and, albeit teetetaler, an essentially
"jolly" old gentleman, full, physically
of humorous action and impulsive jes.
ticulation, imitatively illustrating the
anecdotes he related; somewhat dogged
in assertion and combative in argument
strong-rooted as the oldest of oaks in Ole
true British prejudices. During his last
twenty years he was as resolute in his
denunciation OF the weed as of tie wine
cup. Only to few very dearly prizeG
literary friends he would show himself
tolerant in the matter of tobacco. 81

4 Narrow EScane.

The Elmira Gazette chronicles the fol-
lowing hair breadth escape: One of the
miraculous escapes from instant death
that we ever heard recorded, is related as
having occurred last Saturday morning.
A man by the name Of W. D. Soy had
been to consult a physician in regard to
his case, as he had been partly deaf for a
number of years. Having finished his
business, he started for home on foot,
taking the railroad, and had proceeded
but short distance when he saw a
train of cars approaching him, and as
the cars came near, he stepped upon the
eastward bound track, not looking for or
hearing that which was approaching from
that direction, but had hardly stepped
on the track and turned to see the engine
upon him. He grasped hold
Of the pilot or head of the engine, heard
an unearthly shrek, and awoke to find
that he had his hands in his wife's hair,
and had partly torn handful out by the

The Ex.Sultan.

A Constantinople letter to the Philadel-
phia Press says: Ex-Sultan Murad is
still confined to the palace of Tcbirigan.
His reigning brother would gladly give
him full liberty of movement if he dared
and 1 have no doubt would be but too
happy to surrender him the throne. if
not prevented by reasons of state. Not
long since DR.. Capoleone, the former
physician of Murad, found means of
visiting him at the palace. As soon as
he saw him the dethroned sultan threw
himself on his neck and tenderly en-
braced him, while the tears gushed in
torrents from his eyes. You, at least,
he said have not deserted me. Thank
God! / have one friend who is yet true,
and who has not turned his back on me
because Of my misfortunes. Be my
friend, but do not compromise your
future and life by trying to restore me

helpless on the diyan." sys - "a. 4

.Humors of War.

H. V. Redfield writes to the Philadel-
phia Weekly Times:
\ War horrors predominated in our
neighborhood, but the humorous side
was not altogether lacking. A brigade
one day camped around the premises OF
neighbor Of ours He was sitting on
the fence for the purpose, as he said, OF
saving one rail at least, contemplating
the destruction going on all around
One soldier was killing calf, another
was after the pigs, another was milking
the COWS, hundreds were burning rails,
others were taking off the well.bucket
and rope, some were digging for" hidden
treasures" and altogether the scene was
rather lively. Our neighbor looked for
some time, saying nothing, doubtless
from inability to do the subject justice,
when he broke out: Gentlemen it l.
live through this war shall never fear
hell" When Bragg retreated from
Tullahoma large part Of his army pass
ed through our neighborhood. The
soldiers were much discouraged. Within
a few months they had retreated all the
way from before Nashville, about one
hundred and thirty miles, and in all that
time they declared that they had not
been whipped. ," It's bad enough to run
when We are whipped" said one OF the
soldiers; "d-n this way of beating the
Yankees and then running away from
them!" l asked one of the officers, m
acquaintance, to what point they were
retreating. '}"To Cuba" he replied,
sharply, "if old Bragg can get a bridge
built across from Florida!" On the
same retreat couple of soldiers stopped
at house near us and proposed to swap
horses, as theirs were worn out. Our
neighbor .trotted out two and offered
them bargain. One Of his horses, how
ever, had very white head and face.
"That one won't d." said one of the
soldiers; " the enemy could see that face
mile" "No,' said the other soldier
quickly, that's no objection; for the
other end of .Bragg's cavalry is always
toward the Yankees! So they took the
white-faced horse and went on, satisfied
that the rear only would point toward
the enemy during the remainder of the
war. This happened just as I relate it,
and shows something of the spirit of
Bragg's army on the famous retreat from
TullahOma.

Another Interesting Discovery at N.Y.

Another tomb has been opent

Another tomb has been opened by the
superintendent of excavations at Ny
cen@. Two skeletons were found in it,
one of them with gold mask. The
skull is fairly we'll preserved, as we'll as
some Of the half-burnt bones. A beauti-
full little gold cup, quite modern in it's
make, was found with them. The house,
first discovered by DR.. Schliemann, and
now undergoing thorough examination,
lies to the east Of the tombs, and con-
tains several chambers, the walls of
which are rudely formed of small unce-
mented stones. Here is a large and mis-
cellaneous collection of prehistoric re-
mains, consisting Of ivory ornaments,
beads, and spirals Of glass, amber and
lapis'lazuli, stone.rubbers and moulds,

ed), bone pins and combs, and various

A Terrible Liar,

He was the orfulest liar lever seen"
said Cooley OLeary, as we returned
from his friends funeral. "Why he told
me once that he lived on small island
in the Pacific ocean on which there was
a volcano. And he said that there was
an active demand out in that region for
watermelons, so he went into the bust
ness Of raising them. And he said one
year his whole crop failed except one
melon, and that kept on growing at such
a fearful rate that it crowded him off
the lowland and up the side of the volca-
no, which generated steam and caused
an explosion which blew up the whole
concern to atoms, and shot him four
hundred miles out to sea, where he was
picked up by whaler. He used to tell
that one great mistake of his life was
that he didn't drive plug in the crater
of the volcano so as to make it water
tight, and then slice open the water
melon and come sailing home on the
half-shell.
He would lie. He said that once he
was cast away on an iceberg, with no
baggage but pair of skates and fish
ing-pole. But he skated around until he
came across dead whale, frozen into the
ice. So he took off his shirt was
night for six months that year up there
tore it into strips for a wick, run the
strips through a bamboo fishing rod,
stuck the rod into the fat Of the whale,
and lit the other end. He said it burned
splendidly, and the iceberg reflected the
light so strongly that it was bright as
day for forty miles around, and one YES
sci ran into the iceberg, thinking it was
a lighthouse. He said he sold the ice.
berg to the captain for $4,000, and the
captain split it up and took it home and
made 200 per cent. profit disposing of it
to ice companies.
Lie? well, sir, he beat any man ] ever
came across. He told me that once, out
in Nevada, a mountain lion attacked
him, with his mouth wide open. He had
presence of mind enough to grab it by
the tongue and pull. The lion roared
with pain, but he did his level best pull
ing, and pretty soon the tongue began to
give and the tail to shorten, and directly
out they came, the tail and the tongue
in one continuous string. He said he had
'em at home, and he showed 'em to me;
but my belief is they were only three or
four cow-hides and bulls tail dove
tailed together. y
He was astonishing as truth-crusher.
He said he served on gunboat during
the war which was very small and light,
while the mortar on deck was very large
and heavy, and he said the first time they
tried to fire fifteen-inch shell, the shell
remained stationary, while the recoil
was so great that it fired the gunboat

BORING village and soon proved an inval.
liable physician; but in the preparation
of his medicines he used the best wines,
brandy and alcohol. His taste for liquor
was such that he soon became a slave to
habit, and within four years he lost his
practice. Poverty stared them in the
face, and with three small children,
stricken and smitten, Lillian appealed to
her mother, who offered her a home on
condition of her leaving Henry. The
cries of her helpless children, and her
own suffering decided her, and she re-
turned to the home fold again. Hattie,
loving, motherly Hattie, nursed her back
to health and helped care for the little
ones.
Henry sank lower and lower, till his
own father scarcely recognized him.
For two years he went down, when one
day he found himself in Claysville. Two
little boys were playing on Mrs. Sharp
wells portico as he staggered by. He
stopped to look at them; they were his
boys, and at the window sat Lillian with
his blue-eyed baby-his little Maud.
His wife had caught sight of him, and
turned away; the boys ran into the
house and shut the door. That moment
he beanie sober. Then and there he
vowed never to touch, taste or handle
the intoxicating cup again.
He appealed to his father for help, and
receiving it, started for Danville, New
York, resolved to become hygenic ply
stefan. Total abstinence and change of
diet made new man of him in six
months. The traces of dissipation be-
came less and less, and in eighteen
months he visited his former home with
the pride of his early manhood. He
sought an interview with his family, but
he was still debarred. Lillian was sup
porting herself by teaching, and must
forfeit her home the moment she suf-
fered him to approach her. The old
stigma remained, and every one now be-
lieved their intercourse to have been
