In a recent number of the
Golos we find the following
Strange story, copied by that
journal from the leading news
paper of Warsaw. A Jewish
peddler, recently travelling ON
foot through the Grodno Dis
trict, was attacked in a wood by
ia footpad, who robbed him of all
the money he had about him and
then let him go. Proceeding
on his way the piundered ped
dler met a mounted gendarme,
to whom he related his mishap,
and who proceeded at once to
search for the robber, accompa-
MED by the plundered man.
They soon came up with the
object of their quest,upon whose
person the stolen money was
found, as well as two clasp
knives and pocket-whistle, of
which "lfnconsidercd trifies" the
gendarmc took possession. Hav-
ing bound the culprit's hands
behind him and attached him to
the gendarme's saddle by a cord
they started for the nearest vii
lage, The peddler on foot, the
police officer on horseback.
Presently it occurred to the lat
ter that he might as well ascer-
tain what sort of a tone could
be produced by the confiscated
whistle, which he accordingly
put in his lips and blew with
untimely vigor. Slraigbtway
there appeared upon the scene
a horde of armed brigands, who
surrounded the party, and, af-
ter freeing their comrade from
his bonds, attacked his captors.
The gendarme put spurs to his
horse, broke through the circle
Of his assailants, and got away
with a bullet in his shoulder.
But the unfortunate peddler,un-
able to escape, fell a victim to
the brutality of the bandits, who
hacked his body to pieces and
left his mutilated remains on
the high road. Preparations
are being made by the district
to surround the wood
in which this band of malefac-
tors has fixed its headquarters.
Such enterprises, however, are
as rarely successful in Russia
nowadays as they were of yore
in the Kingdom of Naples or
the Papal States.

Improving Opportunities.

The proverb sEWhere there's a
will there's a way" finds full il
lustration in the life of many en-
inent Americans. Such men as
Henry Clay, Abraham Lincoln
and many others have risen from
very humble station to intellect
ual greatness by resolute pur-
pose to surmount difficulties.
One well acquainted with the
early life of ex-Gov. George S.
Boutwell,, of Massachusetts,, Sec
retary of the Treasury under
Gen. Grant, gives an interesting
sketch of his early years:
He had little education in the
schools, being obliged to sup
port himself from the age of 13.
While a clerk at Groton he found
in the second story of the store
an old but choice library. This
was a mine of wealth to the boy.
He read during the day, when
there were no customers. But
at 9, when the store closed he re-
tired to the library and read till
1rowsiness came on. Then he
took a little physical exercise to
rouse himself. When he felt
sleepy again he plunged his head
into a pail of water and, under
this new stimulus, was able to
study till a late hour. In this
way he acquired valuable knowl-
edge and discipline, and prepared
himself for a successful career.

The Last Confederate Flag.

a gentleman just from Texas
informs our reporter that Gen.
Tom Harrison's Texas Brigade,
composed of two Texas, one
Tennessee and one Arkansas
regiment, was probably the last
brigade under fire during the
war, as it was engaged with
Northern troops between Ral-
eIgh and Salisbury, N. c., just
above Chapel Hill, on April IA,
1866, the day that the armistice
was declared. The flag carried
on that day by one OF the Texas
regiments (the Eleventh Texas
Volunteers is now in possession
of John Halford, of Denison,
who was a member of that reg
iment at the time. and who con-
cealed it and brought it home
with him in the back Of his
jacket. This is probably the
last Southern flag fired at by the
United States troops. 1t is a
small silk Confederate flag, and
still in good condition, there be-
ing only one tear in it, and that
was done the last day it was
under fire. Mr.. Halford says he
considers the flag as much the
property of the members OF the
regiment as himself, and he
keeps it for the mutual benefit
of all the surviving members of
his regiment, as a memento OF
the closing scene OF the late un-
pleasantness.

1t is stated that the total num-
Der of the Hebrew race to-day is
about what it was in the days of
King Dayid-between 100000

Itistical information,about 5,00O,-

over 80,OOO; in America from
100000 to 100000. More
than half the European Jews

$4,000 in Austria, of whom
575, 900 in the Polish province of
Galicia; $4,000 in Germany
!61, 900 in the Polish province of
Posen; Roumania is credited
with 274,00O and Turkey with
100000. There are 10000 in.
Holland, $4,000 i'll England, 49,
900 in France, $4,000 in Italy,;
Spain and Portugal have 1000
and 1000; 1900 in Sweden, 25,-
600 in Norway. Nothing is said
about Denmark or Switzerland.
The number of Jewish residents
in Berlin is gwen at 45,000-
nearly as many as in the whole
of France, and more than in tia
ly, Spain and Portugal and the
Scandinavian peninsula all to-
gether. The majority of the AT
rican Jews live in the province
of Algiers. But they are to be
found in Abyssinia and all along
the north coast, and even in the
Saharan oasis, frequently acting
as Intermediates between the
Mohammedans and Christians.
Of the Asiatic Jews, 10000 are
assigned to India and 25,0O0 to
Palestine. The population of
Jerusalem is given at 1000 Mo
hammedans, 5000 Christians and
$500 Jews. These last are
classified as German, Spanish or
Jews. In New York
there are thirty synagogues.

Old Times in Tennessee.

The other day a group of pol
iticians were in Postmaster-Gen-
eral Keys room, in Washington,
talking of old times down in
Tennessee. Gen. Key had quite
good deal to say about Andrew
johnson. He said that he had
often curried his horse. Andrew
johnson used to stop at his fa-
theirs, who was farmer, and
young Key always had the Job
of polishing off his horse. In
this case the future President
had for a groom a future Cabi-
net minister.
Key says that johnson was
one of the most ambitious men,
and could not live outside of pol
itics. AT the moment he return
ed home as an ex-President he
began intriguing for a place in
the Senate, and succeeded, after
making a very vigorous effort
for the same.
Andrew johnson had a favo.
rite retort to make to ANY one
who Kissed him when making
speech. The first occasion upon
which he used this celebrated
retort of his was in a public
hall at Chattanooga, where he
was making an address in some
political campaign. A remark
Of his displeased some opponent

gan 10 hiss. Pausing in his
speech, Mr.. johnson looked
grayely in the direction of the

How lightly rests on thy young head,
The age Of "sweet sixteen"
Bright, happy years forever fled,
Ofmany changefuI scene.
They leave they fair and open brow,
From care and sorrow free;
Where innocence reposes now,
In guieless purity.
And yet they bring the woman's crown,
The woman's cross and tears;
Till life shall lay its burden down,
o, few, eventual years!
just on that flowery brink ye stand,
AS time rolls on apace;
Where childhood clasps the woman's hand
With hesitating grace.
The change has come, and yet forsooth,
II scarcely welcome seems;
Farewell 10 sweet, confding youth,
It's careless, happy dreamsl
Unshadowed past, Of love and light,
O, may thy future be
AS fair, rs cloudless and as bright,
Is all ask for thee. gf
