Jolly Soldiers.

Abraham Lincoln was very fond OF
stories which exhibited the wit OF the
soldiers. He loved to tell any anecdOte
which set forth "the bows as mirthiul
in their priyationS. A writer IN Scrib-
Ber's Magazine says:
There was q story of soldier in the
army of the Potomac, carried to the
rear of battle with both legs shot off,
who, seeing a pie-woman lowering
about, "Say, old lady, are them pies
sewed or pegged?' And there was
another one OF soldier at the battle Of
Charlottesville, whose regiment, wait
ing to be called into the fight, was TAX
ing coffee.
The hero Of the story put to his lips
a crockerv mug which he had carried
with infinite care through several cam
paigns. \ stray bullet, just missing
the colIee-drinker'S head dashed the
mug into fragments, and left only its
handle on his finger.
Turning his head in that direction,
the soldier augrily growled, Johnny,
YOU can't do that again" Lincoln, re-
iating these two stories together, said,-
at seems as if neither death nor dam
ger could quench the grim humor OF the
American soldier

REMARKABLE ACCi-
DENT.
A Miner Thrown from a Cage
Six Hundred Feet from the
Bottom and Safely Landed.

From the Nirgua lN~N,I Ou'oHi'tr'
A most remarkable accident happen
ed at the Hale * Norcross mine last
night. 4 cage with SiXmen was comm"
up the shalt at IL o'Clock-the hour Tor
changing shifts. When about six hun
dred ieet irOw the bottom, at point
where there is an irregular place in the
guides. the cage suddenly lurched to one
side, throwing the men to the other.
Pltrick Holland who was on the out
side. was crowded off Instead OF fall
inc 10 the bottom and being dashed to
pieces. he was safely lodged on a wall
plate. The other men on the cage sup
posed he had fallen into the sump, oil
course. When they reached the sur
face they got the usual sacks and boxes
and started back 10 the stump TO gather
up fragments OF the body. As they APP
preached the place in the shaft where
.Es man was thrown oil, they heard a
voice be'oy them telling them TO 90 slow.
They did not kGJw what to make OF the
strange discovery, never suppOSlng 1t
possible for Holland 10 be anywhere
else than ut the bottom. When they
saw him safe ON his narrow perch they
could scarcely believe their eyes. Any
one who haS aScended 4 shaft knows
how rapidly the Nai. plates tit 10y when
the lantern is held so as TO bring them
10 view. The cage from which Holland
was thrown was coming up at the usual
ratio of speed How the man could pos
sibiy have been lodged on one OF these
pieces Of timber without being jammed
bv the cage or knocked OF as It went
past him is wonder. The wall plate Is
a square timber, fourteen by sixteen
inches. 50 that there was very little
standing room for Holland while he was
waiting for the cage 10 come down and
,escre him. Ii the shaft had been so
light he eOuld look down any consider
able distance Of tie six hundred feet
between him and the bottom he would
scarcely have had the nerve 10 cling 10
his narrow footing. The darkness OF
all mining shafts is a point IN favor OF
the miners preserving their GOODNESS
when placed in ticklish positions. 4
couple Of pump men will throy foot
wide plank across a shalt ZOO feet lrom
the bottom and work upon II as though
they were not five feet from the bottom.
The darkness Of the shalt prevents the
thought of the awful abyss below from

BUTLER AT A PRIZE FIGHT.
How He Went I'm the Guise of
Lone Fisherman.

Washington NaPltaA-
Laughing over that cartoon IN the
Graphic, representing Gen. Butler on a
fishing excursion with hook and line,
gathering them in" over Massachusetts,,
nv friend, Charles c., remarked that
that picture reminded him of pisca-
torial experience which Butler had some
ten years ago. Two prize fighters, Levitt
and Finnegas, had agreed upon a bat
tie" to take place outside OF Massachu-
sets. The time and place for the fight
we're known to but few persons. Charles
c., then an officer OF the Boston mu-
nicipality. and Butler were well ac-
auainted. The latter came to the former
and said: Charley, there's going to be
a prize fight somewhere about this
neighborhood, Pm told, and you are to
be referee. / want to witness that en-
counter, and | don't want to be adver-
tised as going especially to see 1t.
"Well, said C., "the time set Is Mon
day next, the place is five miles from
Manchester, y. H., near a certain fishing
pond. You come there and I'll see that
YOU have a front seat at the show.
'All right" says Butler, SAY nothing
about me. I'll get my.tishing tackleand
90 angling at that pond, you see, and Just
drop upon me as If by accident" sure
enough, when the crowd had assembled
near the pond, Butler appeared on the
outskirts dressed in a corduroy suit, his
breeches tucked into his boots; thrown
over his shoulder was long tishing-rod,
with hook and line attached. Carlessly
and curiously he appeared as he came
upon the party, and he spoke out loud.
that all might hear him: "Hollo;
What's this you've here-a picnic?
"NO," said Charles C, who pretend
ed not to know Butler, there's going
to bee some gymnastic exercise, and some
ground and lofty tumbling," "No harm
il | stop and see it, | suppose" says
Butler. ''On, nc, none in the world" said
Charles c., lust take a position over
there among those gentlemen in front;
they are the members OF the press.
And Butler did so. Charles c. says
Butler became intensified during the
fight, and every time one or the other of
the prize fighters got in well' upon his
opponent, Butler grunted tremendously,

The Cesarian Operation.

New York Herald.
Three weeks ago Mrs. Sheridan, who
resided at Fifth avenue and One Hun
dred and FOrty-sixth street, was as she
alleged, kicked in the abdomen by her
husband. She was removed to the
Charity Hospital, on BlackwelPs Island,
where Dr.. Eastbrook had her cared for.
Last Friday the COroner's office was no.
tilted that she was dying, and, upon the
strength OF her ante-mOrtem statement,
her husband was arrested and confined
in the TOmbs. Finding that it was i'm
possible 10 save her lie the medical
staff concluded to perform an operation
bv which the woman would be deliver
ed of her unborn babe. This operation
took place, and the child was brought
into the world by the "CWsarian opera
ton" Shortly after the operation the
woman died. Her bod was removed
to the Morgue on Tuesday, and accom-
panying the remains was death GER
tificate, which stated that the caused OF
death was puerperal fever. Nothing,
however, was said regarding the fate OF
the child, and DIR. Cushman could not
learn whether it was born alive or dead.
Yesterday morning he made an autopsy
OF the body with the most astonishing
result. lie discovered another unborn
baby, which evidently had been over
looked when the doctors relieved the
mother of the first child. Baby No. ,
was well formed and large, and when
alive must have been healthy. There
was no appearance or indication ofpuer-
peral fever, but instead there was ma
iignant form of Bright's disease. There
was to evidence OF violence, externally
or internally DIR. Cushman therefore
believes the woman made false state
lnent when she charged her husband
with having kicked her.

The other day an omnibus full OF pas
sengers drove up town from the Union
Depot. Side by side sat a commercial
traveller named William Maccaby and
Mrs. Winnie G. Dumbleton, the eminent
lady Temperance lecturer. When the
omnibus reached the Barrett House the
commercial traveller seized his valise and
started out. The lady made grab after
him and he halted.

omnibus and asked:

1T isn't mine, said the traveller; its

"And il isn't mine said the lady;
che has mine, and I'll have the law on
him. It's a pity ii lady can't travel
alone in this country without beng
robbed Of her property in broad day

Finally the traveller said he would
open the yalise to prove his claim. The
lady objected at first, saying she did not
want her valiSe opened in the presence
of a crowd Of strangers. But rs there
was no other way Of settling the dispute
she at length consented. The traveller
sprung the lock. opened the valise,
and the curious crowd bent forward TO
see.
On the very top Of everything lay a
big Hat flask, half full OF whisky, 4 deck
of cards, and one or two things that no.
body knew the name OF.
The traveller was the first TO recover
his Seli-pOSsessiOn and speech.
Madam, he said You are right. The
valise is yours. l owe you a thousand

But the lady hal tainted, and the
traveller re-lockcd the valiSe with quiet
smile. Early in the afternoon a sign
painter down town received note in
feminine hand, asking him to come to
the Barrett House TO mark a rcd-leather
valise in black letters q foot and half
