The Wrong Kind of Ducks.

THE average American farmer certain
i ly knows how to look after his in
terests, and he has keen wit that is
hard to get over. For example,
Some three or four days ago the con-
ductor of freight train on the Fort
Wayne road, who was out with his
train, saw couple of fine-looking ducks
on the river near the track. He had
shotgun in the caboose car, and stop
ping the train for few minutes, he got
off and shot both of the birds. He
thought this was something to congratu-
late himself on, and when he reached
his home he invited little party of
friends to partake of the fruit of his
prowess.
A couple of days after this conductor
happened to be stopped at the place
where the ducks had been shot. He
got out his gun and walked down
to the river with the intention of
bagging couple more, if possible.
He had scarcely reached the edge Of
the river, before man, who looked
like farmer, approached him and
said
Are you the man who shot those two
ducks here day before yesterday ?"
Yes, that was me-" said the sports
man, rather proudly.
"Well, those ducks belonged to me.
They wasn't any of your wild ducks
but were tame ones"
"Oh pshaw You can't fool me. 1
guess i know wild duck from tame
one.n
"Will you pay me for the ducks ?"
said the farmer coolly.
mo, sir, won't. You can't prove
the ducks were not wild ones"
"All right" and the farmer started
off to the nearest village.
"Where are you goingY What do

Nerve and Humor in Battle.

Here is good reply for brave Briton
"a captain. 1t was when Admiral Lord
st. Vincent's fleet was bearing down
upon the fleet of the enemy-the Span
iards-that the chaplain of a frigate
asked the commander, who was all alive
with excitement, and eager in the
work:
Captain, have you reckoned the
number of the enemy ?''
mo, no not yet" responded the
brave chief. We can do that more
readily after they are ours 70
Here is another of different cast. but
its humor is not to be denied:
The French, at Wagram, were making.
the finest outset of the battle, when a
sergeant of infantry who was holding
his company in line, upon the extreme
right of his regiment, was set upon by q
yelping, snarling cur, belonging to the
colonel. The older soldier could not
tamely bear this, and with movement
like lightning, he charged bayonet upon
the dog, and ran him through, possibly
to the heart. The colonel saw, and be-
ing near the spot, he rode up.
Look you, my man, why could you
not have just as well made at my dog
with the butt end of your musket ?r
" Pdr6Ieu! I'd have done it, Colonel,
if the brute had only made at me in the
same wayl''

and he sank into chair.
Tears choked the utterance of the
Lieutenant as, wavering between duty
and gratitude, he said Corporal, 1

The shock unnerved the war-worn
and weather-beaten Corporal, and for
several weeks he was prostrated with
raging fever. A prisoner, in fact, but
allowed to accept the hospitality of the
Lieutenant's more comfortable quarters,
where, his story becoming known, he
received every kindness that could be
commanded. Meantime strenuous eff
forts were made to remove the charge of
desertion against him, which had been
carried on the company's rolls until he
was finally reported to the Provost
Marshal General and dropped from
them.
The red tape" of the War Depart
ment prevented his reinstatement in
time, and Corporal C was sent to
the front as :" a deserter." Strong papers
relating the circumstances more minute
ly than can be done in this narrative ac-
companied him. He was tried and
sentenced to be shot, but through the
never ceasing efforts of the officer whose
life he had saved, seconded by the efforts
of General Ingraham, then Provost
Marshal of the defences north of the
Potomac, he was reprieved by President
Lincoln. He was subsequently killed
in charge upon the enemy's works at
Petersburg, Va. The wife and little
ones waited in vain for the second sur
prise at the little Pennsylvania hamlet
near Gettysburg.

"a What is the cure for gossipS Sim
ply culture. There is a great deal of
gossip that has no malignity in it.
Good-natured people talk about their
neighbors because, and only because,
they have nothing else to talk about.
Gossip is always personal confession
either of malice of imbecility, and the
young should not only shun it, but by
the most thorough culture relieve them
selves of the temptation to indulge in
it. 1t is low, frivolous, and too often a
dirty business. There are country neigh
borhoods in which it RACES like pest.
Churches are split in pieces by it. Neigh
bors made enemies by it for life. In
many persons it degenerates into a
chronic disease, which is practically
incurable. Let the young cure it while
they may.

A MARVELLOUS DISCOVERY.

A N extraordinary discovery of great
IA practical utility is reported in the
London Times of May 26. 1t is based
on an authenticated and detailed state
ment in the Brisbane Courier, of New
South Wales. In one of the land-locked
reaches on Sydney harbor, in that colo
NY, an establishment has been put up in
which is being conducted an experiment,
the success of which is now established
beyond any doubt, that must have an
immense effect on the future prosperity
of Australia.
The gentlemen connected with this
enterprise are Signor Rotura, whose re-
searches into botany and natural history
of South America have made his name
eminent, and Mr.. James Grant, pre-
eminent for his knowledge in the science
of generating cold, and the success of
his freezing chamber at Woolhara.
1t appears that some five months ago
Signor Rotura called upon Mr.. Grant to
invoke his assistance in scheme for
the transmission of live stock to Europe.
He averred that he had discovered a
a South American vegetable poison,
allied to the well. Unknown woolhara, that
had the power of perfectly suspending
animation, and that the trance thus pro-
duced continued till the application of
another vegetable essence caused the
blood to resume its circulation and the
heart its functions. Before he left Mr..
Grant had his doubts turned into
wondering curiosity by experimenting
on his dog. The Signor injected two
drops of his liquid mixed with little
glycerine into small puncture made in
the dogs ear, and in three or four min
utes the animal was perfectly rigid, the
four legs stretched backward, the eyes
wide open, pupils very much dilated,
and exhibiting symptoms very similar
to those of death by strychnine, except
that there had been no previous struggle
or pain. Begging his owner to have no
apprehension for the life of his favorite
animal, Signor Rotura lifted the dog
carefully and placed him on a shelf in
cupboard, where he begged he might be
left until the following day.
In the interval Mr.. Grant was much
panied at the apparant cruelty he had
inflicted on his faithful friend. The
temperature of the body in the first four
hours being gradually lowered to 25 de-
grees Fahrenheit below ordinary blood
temperature, the body by morning was
as cold as in actual death. At the pro-
missed hour of 10 o'clock next morning
Signor Rotura appeared. He plunged
the body in tub of warm water and
laid the dogs head under. After about
ten minutes of this bath the body was
taken out and another liquid injected in
puncture made in the neck. The dog
first showed the return of life in the
eye, and in about six minutes he drew a
long breath and the rigidity left his
limbs ; in few minutes more he COM
menced wagging his tail, then slowly
got up, stretched himself, and trotted
off as though nothing had happened.
On the suggestion of DIR. Barker, after
several subsequent unsuccessful expert
ments, respiration was encouraged, as
in the case of persons drowned, by
artificial compression and expansion of
of the lungs. He was of the opinion
that as the heart in every case commenc-

CRAZED By FEAR.
A REFUGEE FROM MEMPHIS IN THE wIIlB
OF ARKANSAS.

A REFUGEE FROM MEMPHIS IN THE wuns
OF ARKANSAS.
From the Little Rock Gazette
Mr. j, Handle, who has Just arrived in
the city from Crittenden county, relates
rather a sad story in regard to woman
who is now roaming around in the woods
Of the Mississippi river bottom. Shortly
after the yellow fever appeared in Memphis,
the woman, whose name is Mrs. Annie
Harper, left the city, crossing in skiff to
the Arkansas shore. She lost her husband
and two children last year, and when the
fever appeared again, she became
wild in her manner and declared
she would die unless she lett the
city. But leaving an infected CITY is
not perfect assurance against trouble. if
it does sometimes prove safeguard against
disease. Mrs. Harper wandered around in
the dense forest almost crazed. The bot
toms are very sparsely settled, houses in
many instances being several miles apart.
When the woman applied at the first house
man came out with gun and demanded
her immediate change of scene. In vain
the woman pleaded. The man explained
that it was better for one person to die than
to be the cause or the death of a dozen.
Flooding to another house, the woman was
Just entering the gate when man came
out and said that coming in would be more
disastrous than a case of yellow fever. The
poor woman walled aloud, declaring that
she certainly bore the mark
similar to that worn by Cain.
Al the next house man gave her some
thing to eat, but advised her to move on.
Thus she has been wandering around. get
ting morsel to eat here and being spurned
there. She turned toward Memphis, but
lost her way in the woods, almost ironically
dense. When she went to the next house
where Mr.. Woodson lives, she declared
that she had the fever, and wanted to
spread it. This of course excited the in
mates Of the house, and the womans has,v
departure was demanded.
Mr.. Handle saw the woman near Black
fish. The woman had been wandering aim
lcssly and had at last reached the railroad.
Having heard of the woman, Mr.. Handle
asked her several questions.
"I'm Wild the woman said. "YelIow
fever is chasing me. Like a bloodhound it
follows my footsteps
Then, in quiet manner the woman re-
lated her sad experience, and then, in mo-
ment, she became villa again, and. with
wild shrek she dashed of into the woods.
Mr. Handle followed her, but she paid no
attention to him, wildly eXclaiming that she
was dying with the fever. Mr.. Handle
says that, from what he can learn, Mrs.
Harper belongs to good family, and that
her husband was quite a prominent plum
Der and gas.tltter Of Memphis. Something
should be done for the woman, as to con
tinuc in this way will only prove to be her
death or total destruction Of her mind.
