He Came Back.

Gov. Duval, of Florida, was the son of
a poor Virginian, a stern, strong, taci-
turn man. The boy was a huge youth
OF fifteen. At the cabin fire, at bed time,
according to the custom of putting on a
back log, the old man aaid, between the
whiiis of his silent pipe:
Tab, go 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
it 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 powderhorn, as pos
sum 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 l79l. After
an absence Of eigteen years he was elected
to congress A man of immense size and
strength, he started for Washington, 60
ing 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
late n string and with his load stood be-
fore the old man, pipe IN mouth, as
quiet as usual.
Here is the gum back log, father"
"Well you've been long time getting
it-put it on the fire and go to bed,"
was the reply.-San Antonio (Ter.

Military Use OF the Telephone.

Experiments are being carried on in
Prussia, by order of the German military
authorities, to determine how far it NAV
be practicable to employ the telephon,
tor military purposes. One Of the new
instruments has been arranged by the
railway regiment on the exercising
ground near Berlin; but, as vet, the
results obtained have not been altogether
Satisfactory. With the stations only a
few thousand PAGES apart il is found ex.
tremely difficult, and at times when the
conditions are unfavorable altogether inn.
possible to carry on a conversation. II
.is expected, however, that when some
suggested improvements in tbeapparstus
have been carried out, the telephone will
work in much more satisfactory man.
ner, and will become of great value for
many military purposes. One OF the
Obstacles to the more extended employ.
ment of the field-telegrsph in actual war
has always been the difficulty efinstruct.

instruments, aodof giving them sufficient
