He Came Back.

Governor Duval, of Florida, was the
son of poor Virginian, a stern, strong,
tacitnrn man. The boy was a huge
youth of fifteen. At the cabin fire, at
bed time, according to the custom of
putting on back log, the old man
said, between the whiffs of his silent
pipe: ....
"Tab, 60 out and bring in that gum
back log, and put it on the fire.
Tab went out and surveyed the log.
He knew it was of no use explaining
that 1T was too heavy,nor prudent for
him to return without having it on his
shoulder. His little sister passing, was
not surprised that he requested her to
bring out the gun and powder horn, as
possum or coon might have passed, or
the brother might have seen bear signs.
She brought the gun, and Tab started.
He found the way through the woods
into Kentucky, in 1871. After an abb
sence of eighteen years he was elected
to Congress. A man of immense size
and strength, he started for Washing
ton, going by the way of his old home,
to see the folks who had long since
given him up for dead. Entering the
little cabin door near bed time, he saw
the identical gum log. He shouldered
it, pulled the latch string, and with his
load stood before the old man, pipe in
mouth, as quiet as usual.
"Here is the gum back log, father"
swell, you've been long time get
ting it--put it on the fire and go to
bed," was the reply.-San antonio

The old Virginia boundary questions
had remained unsettled until recently.
AS we learn from the Philadelphia
Press, Baltimore lawyer, c. X. Adams,
Esq, who had been concerned in the
case between the States, accidentally
came upon some papers relating to the
Pauletts. They were interesting enough
to inspire further search, and, by adver-
Using, he became aware of the fact that
the Pauletts still lived in Long Grange.
He visited them, and found in their pos
session all the old pirates papers, in
GLIDING journal and much correspond
ence. None of the letters described
the property, but the diary is enthusiast
tic over the colony. The record of
PENIS deed to Paulett has been found,
and in the land office at Annapo-
lis, transcript of Calvert's tt
tie has been discovered,
the original record having, it is known,
been destroyed by fire. The index gives
the date, number of deed, number of
acres, names of parties, etc., clearly
showing that all Philadelphia was in
cluded. 1t is also known that in the
final settlement of the Penn heirs and
others in 176O, the confirmation of all
the Calvert grants was stipulated. The
lawyer has been given carte blanche by
the Pauletts to go on with the suit, and,
unless his version of the case is dis
tortion or exaggeration of the facts, it
may well disturb the proverbial calm of
the Quaker City. Even if the heirs of
the old freebooter have not even the
ghost of chance, the incidents now
brought to light are more than common
ly romantic and neutrality-suspicious.

Light-Heartedness of Japanese
Children.

One of the first lessons presented to a
foreign teacher in Japan is the reason OF
the great apparent happiness and light
heartedness of Japan children. One may
walk for hours through the streets of
Toxic aud scarcely ever hear child's
cry of distress. Four principal causes
of this superiority of the children of
Japan over those of other nations have
been suggested by an English lady resi-
dent there. They are worthy of the at
teuiioa Of the teachers at home. The
style Of clothing, loose and yet warm. is
far more comfortable than the dress Of
our children. japanese children are
much more out in the open air and sun
shine. The absence Of furniture, and,
therefore, absence Of repeatedly given

The Murphy Temperance Move
ment in New York.

One of the first converts of Francis
Murphy in the southern tier was William
ii. Maxwell, Of the Elmira Advertiser.
81 was drunk thirty years." says Max
well, in one of his temperance lectures.
81 have had the delirium tremens six
times, and been in county Jail in every
State in the Union but six, for drunk
enness." Since his reformation he has
lectured almost every night, and has
reclaimed over 5000 drinking men in
this region. 1t was through his efforts
that not a drunken man was seen in
Hornellsville at the time of the Erie
strike. His lectures are the wittiest,
most eloquent and effective of any of
the Murphy workers in this part of the
State.
81 have been counsel in twelve muir
der cases." said ex-Congressman Hor-
ace Bemus of Hornellsville, at meet
ing on Thursday night. "In every case
liquor was at the bottom of the crime.
I bought supper for man tonight who
was worth $780, 900 eight years ago. His
wife was Judges daughter. She is
in a pauper asylum for the insane to-
day. Every dollar of the $4,000 went
for rum" a.I. A. .n
"Imade $4,000 by rum selling in
five years. said a well known resident
of Schuyler County, reformed liquor
seller, at Maxwell meeting a few
nights ago. "During the past five
months l have returned that and $4,000

were wronged by the place 1 kept. In

The Horrors of Plevna.

Mr.. McGahan, the correspondent OF
the London Daily News at Plevna, sends
a horrible story of the. state of things
prevailing in and around the captured
town. Before the recent great storm
Plevna was simply charnel-house.
Modern warfare has no parallel for it,
and its horrors can only be compared to
those which followed in the wake Of
Genghis Khan, or Timour, as their saw
age Tartar herds swept over and DESC
lated Asia. The famished dogs, of
which there are always large numbers
in every Turkish town, were feeding on
the corpses of the dead, and the bodies
of the still living wounded. The savage
bowls of the greedy brutes as they tore
the putrid flesh of the dead, or crunched
the bones between their teeth, the cries
and groans of the wounded as they vain
ly struggled with the dogs, might be
heard for miles around, and made the
heart sick. Birds were pecking at the
skulls, hopping from body to body with
beaks and plumage besmeared with hui
man blood, and screaming with tiendish
delight. Dogs fought among them
selves, and bird struggled with bird for
the possession of a morsel of human
flesh, and the most indescribable horror
prevailed. In one house alone 81 dead
and IS wounded Turks were found,
some of the former in half-decomposed
and putrid state, and the wounded in a
condition that can be more easily i'm
agined than described. Some of the
wounded were able to crawl about, and
clutched at odd morsels of food that
were found in the hands of the dead,
devouring it with feverish avidity; but
thousands of them were utterly helpless,
and awaited death or succor with list
less fatalism. Eighteen hundred pris-
oners were huddled together on
the banks of the Vida, and
the horrors of their position equaled
those of the great plague, which raw
aged Europe in the 14th century. Liv-
ing and dead were piled together pro-
in heaps like wood and cart
ed away. There were only three carts
available for this work, and the confu-
sion was indescribable.
Osman's bravery is stained and black
ened by his treatment of the Russian
wounded that fell into his hands. His
gallant defense of Plevna for moment
blinded the victors and Europe to the
fact that all prisoners were butchered
by the troops under Osman's command.
Bucharest correspondent says that a
fearful retribution has overtaken a part
of Osman's army, which was Caught in
the march by that dreadful snow-storm.
Fate seems to be wrecking vengeance
for the slaughter of the Russian wound
ed whose corpses lie unburied on the |
hills around Plevna.

German Syrup"

No other medicine in the world was
ever given such test of its curative
qualities as Boschee's German Syrup.
In three years two million four hundred
thousand small bottles of this medi-
cine were distributed free Of charge by
Druggists in this country to those
afflicted with Consumption. Asthma.
Group, severe Coughs, Pneumonia and
other diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
giving the American people undeniable
proof that German Syrup will cure
them. The result has been that Drug
gists in every town and village in the
United States are recommending it to
their customers. Go to your Druggist,
and ask what they know about it.
Sample Bottles 10 cents. Regular
Size IS cents. Three doses will relieve
any case.
