Sunshine at Midnight.

The spectacle of the sun shining
at midnight attracts many foreign
ers in Swedish Lapland during the
month of June. For six weeks
there is scarcely any night in the
north of Sweden; the sun never
sets, and the soil constantly heated,
produces in month and half bar
ley and other crops. At that time
of the year the Laplanders pen up
their renders and move their huts
toward the cultivated fields. Be-
ing very hospitable, they greet with
JOY the arrival Of tourists, who gen
orally meet at Mount Gellaware,
about ninety miles from Lulea.
From that hill, which is about six
hundred yards high, the beautiful
spectacle of the "Inidhight sun" can
be admired in better conditions
than from any other place. The
oath of June is the day selected for
the ascension; it is the longest day
in the year, the sun being twenty
two hours above the horizon. This
year the oath of June was not fa-
vored by fine weather, and owing to
a cloudy sky the sun was not visi-
BILE at midnight, but the following
day travellers were well rewarded
for their trouble, the sun shining
brightly at midnight London

Sunday Legs.

Old Zack lived in Virginia. He
was a veteran of the last war, and
supported himself by doing ''chores"
for the neighborhood. In one of
his battles he lost leg, and limped
around on a wooden substitute. 1t
was not one of the new patent legs,
but a right fashioned broom
handle stick, fitted with leather
straps to the stump OF flesh. Old
Zack was well known by his "walk
and conversation" among all the
townspeople. IL cabins and by the
wayside it was not an unusual
thing to see a group around this
lame leader, listening to his stories
of the battlefield.
They were marvellous tales of ad-
yenture, some probable, put many
more impossible. But old Zack
had told them so many times that,
like many other story tellers, he ac-
tually came to believe them true.
And yet be was respected, because
every one knew that the good old
soul had no intention of lying.
Tue marked othing about all his
"reminiscences was that old Zack
was the center of every picture. In
storming, a besieging party, on
scout or picket service, on the
march or in camp, to his own way
Of thinking, DO one stood higher
than he. 1t was an amiable weak

younger folks it would have been a
blemish.

greatly troubled the courts-could
one who had been acquitted as a
principal in a felony be convicted
as an accessory in the same felony?
The Judges held that he could, and
BuZzell was again tried and was
convicted chiefly on the testimony
of the man Cook, who was dis
charged from custody for his val
liable evidence. In the course Of
time Cook took a solemn oath that
his statement that he was the one
who held the gun and took part In
the affair was wholly false, and
that his testimony in court to that
effect was also false in every res
pect, thus parading himself as an
unmitigated har and perjurer. His
conflicting statements threw the
public into a state of agitation,
which was in no way allayed by the
conviction of Messrs. Conway and
Cowen. the principal detectives in
the case, for conspiracy in another
matter, and their afIldavits that the
Buzzell prosecution was. also a ''put
up job" Buzzell's- counsel de.
manded a new trial, and the Su-
preme Court of the State, SIX
judges sitting, reviewed the case,
satisfying themselves of the moral
certainty of the prisoners guilt,
and decided that justice had been
dealt him. He was accordingly
hanged on the 10th of July

The Death Stroke.

Some time in the latter part of
May, says the Leadville Chronicle,
Mr.. Campbell left Leadville for the
Eagle river mining district. He
was well outfitted, having a pony,
rifle and the necessary grub to keep
him supplied for some weeks. The
first mishap that befell Mr.. Camp
bell was caused by his pony. He
was leading the animal by rope,
when the pony became frightened
and started on a run. Mr.. Camp
bell held the rope in such manner
that it became tangled around his
finger, from which he could not re
lease it. The result was that when
the pony freed himself he carried
along with him the little finger that
had once been a valuable member
of the gentleman's hand. He hast.
ened to the nearest doctor, who
amputated the stump of the finger.
Pursuing his way in search of the
precious metals, he was not long in
meeting with another adventure
that compelled him TO return to
return to Leadville. After pros
pecting for some days on the Eagle
River, and going some distance from
all other prospectors, he struck in
dicatIons and went into camp. For
several days he worked at some
claims he thought of locating if
they panned out as he was led to
believe from surface indications.
On the morning of the fifth day he
started in the direction of his claim,
intending to be gone but few min
utes, and taking no weapon with
him but his hatchet, which he had
belted to him. IIe had gone but a
few rods when he was somewhat
startled to see before him a bear.
The bear, apparently paid no atten-
tion to him, and he decided to beat
a hasty retreat Scarcely had he
started on his backward march than
the bear started for him. The gen
tleman increased his speed and so
did Bruin. There were no trees
convenient, and 1t looked for a
minute very dubious. The bear
raised on its hind feet and prepared
for friendly embrace. There was
nothing for Campbell to do but
fight it out, and he awaited Mr..
Bears coming with his. hatchet,
ready for close work. The bear
reached HIM. and they struck 81
multaneously. Campbell struck the
bear between the eyes with the
hatchet, and the bear struck Camp
bell on the head. He remembers
nothing more for some hours, al
though it was evident from his
wounds that Bruin played with him
for a second or two after he was
down. When he came TO he found
that he was the only living occu-
pant of the. field, the bear lying
some feet distant with his head split
open. Making his way painfully
to camp-the journey of few hun
dred yards occupyings everal hours
he doctored himself as well as he
could. He was SO badly injured
that his only wish was TO die as
soon as possible. The evening Of
the day succeeding his encounter
he was found by a couple of pros
pectors. They took care of him for
several days, and kindly assisted
him back to the nearest camp. Here
they left him, and for many days
he was considered "as good" as
dead. He finally recovered suffi-
ciently to stand a journey to this
camp, but it will be about next
summer before he will be enabled
to prospect again.

Hanged Himself.

Nashville Banner, 9th ult.: The
Banner received information this
morning that Mr.. w. X. Shoffner, a
prominent citizen near Mulberry,
Lincoln county, had hanged him
self. Shoffner was about fifty years
old, an d was considered insane. He
was quite wealthy, though he lived
in constant dread of starvin z to
death, and on this account, it is
thought he hanged himself.

Her head was turned away, and her
eyes evidently bent upon the floor.
The sight was entirely too much
for Mr.. Simpkins, and he seized Mr..
Bigler's arm with such energy that
the latter fairly howled.
What the devils the matter?"
exclaimed Bigler.
"Who is she?'' cried Simpkins,
pointing toward the private room.
"Introduce me. In Heavens name.
who is it?"
"Wha's who?' asked the bewil-
dered Bigler, struggling to free him
self from Simpkin's grasp. "What
in the name of common sense is
the matter with you?
That divine creature in there"
said Simpkins, wildly. II must

"Who? That?" exclaimed Mr..
Bigler, following Mr.. Simpkins'
gaze toward the open door.
Mr.. Simpkins nodded eagerly.
Mr.. Bigler looked at Mr.. Simpkins
blandly. Then he looked at the
lady, aud then again at Mr.. Simp-
kins. Then he became Seized by
a violent internal paroxysm, and
commenced cramming his handker-
chief into his mouth.

he had in some measure relieved

Pennsylvania has expended thus
far nearly $4,000 in suppressing
pleuro pneumonia, Of which sum
S2,365 were paid for killing 100
animals infected with the disease.
Over 5000 examinations were made,
and the special agent is said to
to have travelled nearly II, 900 miles
in the performance of his calling.
Maryland has been considered the
principal source of infection, but,
as the state has now in operation q
law for the suppression of the dis
ease similar to that in force in
Pennsylvania, it is believed that its
spread in that state will be efectu-
ally prevented.

Food to Make Flesh.

Sugar, syrup, fresh cheese, wheat
en- grits, hominy, juicy meats. are
the foods to make flesh. Almost
any woman will get plump on
brown bread and wheaton grits, or
oatmeal eaten twice day with
plenty of meat and vegetables at
breakfast and supper Of brown
biscuit, with sweet-meats, cheese
and cream, or coffee drank with
plenty of sugar and cream. 1t is
not necessary TO eat largely if the
appetite does not call for it, but the
food must be tempting, and il hun
ger is keen, one who would be
plump and spirited should not be
afraid to indulge in it. Unrelisbing,
distasteful fool, Will not nourish and
stimulate like what is piquant and
savory and changed in variety day

Generons Donations.

Some months ago Mr.. Leander
Mccormick, n resident of Chicago
but a native of Virginia, gave TO
the University of Virginia $4,000
for a telescope on condition that a
suitable observatory was erected
for it. Mr.. William H. Vanderbilt
gave $4,000 for the observatory on
condition that an endowment of
$4,000 was raised, and all this sum,
except about $4,000, has been Sc
cured, and active effort is now be-
ing made to secure the rest.

VIII Power.

Illness IL sometimes brought on
by Imagination and weakness.
Courage is a wonderful agent in
throwing of disease. A walk Of
five miles would cure many an oc-
cupant of the lounge. Will power
will surpass pill power in nine ca
ses out of ten, If not in every one.
To hold bottle Of smelling salts
in the hand on account Of a head
ache may be just the same at times,
but TO fling a pound of fruit cake
out into the alley, and then walk
furloDg as n reward for not eating
the compound, Is nearly always a
much better thing.

Tn. r..sos, syp Case.

Lewis Haggerty, horse dealer, Of
24s Raspberry street, whose previous
appearance before the Justice at the
Central Station was. in October last,
was called upon yesterday by Magistrate
Pole TO answer the charge OF receiving
a stolen wagon and horse belonging to
William Gresnly, Of 1857 Warren street,
West Philadelphia. 1t was shown by
testimony that Greenly brought the
team, which was worth two hundred
and ifty dollars, to town or Saturday
last, and was taken to stable on Ger
man street, near Fourth, where he was
induced to leave the team on trial, tax,
ing note as security for its return In
case the turnout did not suit. He had
to get Detectives Galloway ard Umstead
to recover the horse and wagon, the
vehicle being found at Hsggerty's.
Haggerty said he had bought 1t for s75
from two men who are notorious "gyp"
operators. Umstead said Haggerty told
him he bought the wagon and might as
we'll have It as anybody else. Francis
McNamee, 923 Locust street, testified
that he purchased the horse from Hag.
gerty for $50. The Magistrate put Hag-
gerty under $1,000 bail for receiving
stolen goods, knowing them to be stolen.
