When year had passed away, stranger appeared at Patty's door and inquired if Mrs. Black lived there.
 "Yes," said Patty, gazing at him with 8 strange throbbing at her heart. He was tall, with brown curls and deep blue eyes.
 "And you are Patty Moran," said he.
 "And you-you can't be-it isn't John p
 He followed her to the little sitting room without word, but as Patty thought with "the sweetest smile that ever was seen," and dropped on one knee at grandma's feet. "Doyou know me?" asked he.
 My son !" cried she.
 The history of his wanderings need not repeat he had found at last, if not fortune, at leasta competence, and the home which he provided for his mother was one of the finest in the town. Of that home Patty became mistress at the same time that she became Johns wife, and so, as she herself said, "It all ended just like story-book."

On the Battle Field.

Men can counterfeit sorrow, sympathy, anger, friendship, enthusiasm and fear, but when it comes to counterfeiting bravery that's another thing. Let Q regiment be drawn up in line of battle, and while one would look in vain for skulkers he would see plenty of quiver- ing chins and white faces, and that, too, among officers. Under the influence of fear more than one colonel has aban- doned his regiment, and more than one brigadier-general has lost his reputation. Fear of death is not cowa1dice. Men grew pale and trembled at the roar of battle, and yet the knowledge of certain death would not have made them take @ backward step.
 Perhaps one man in thousand is born without fear - absolutely careless of everything which makes other men afraid. Custer was such 8 man. In being brave and reckless he was only natural. Custer was the same in fight as on dress parade cool, good-natured, confident and close observing. The 'ping" of bullet had no more signifi- canoe to him than the hum of a bee, and he relied on his own efforts to get him out of 8 tight fix.
 Soon after Clusters brigade went into the Shenandoah Valley 8 raw -boned re- cruit came down to one of the companies, and next day his regiment had 8 fight. The recruit stood his ground first rate for about an hour and then inquired of comrade: "Say, have we licked 'em yeti"
 s'No, not yet," was the reply.
 "And they haven't licked us, either? ??
 ''No!'
 "You remember I only got hero yes terday, and I don't know much about this business," continued the recruit. "How shall I know when we are licked?"
 "Watch Custer's face," was the re. ply; when you see him turn pale you want to quit fighting and go to run. ming"
 Gen. Custer would sit his horse and write orders and overlook movements with bullets flying all about him, and il is not on record that any one ever saw him dodge. When horse was killed under him he was greatly surprised seeming to have forgotten that missiles of death were flying about. His seem ing recklessness and abandon in the face of the enemy made him the successful leader that he was. His narrow escapes made his men argue that he who rode straight at the enemy ran no more risk that one held in reserve, and before Custer left the Michigan brigade to be come division commander he had 1, OO( men who would follow him upon belch ing battery as soon as against demor alized infantry.-M.

Watching the Nantucket Fishermen.

The Burlington HaeOkeye man taking leave of Nantucket writes And so we are looking our good-byes upon the island that has made the Summer pleas ant, and short, and healthful to us. One whole afternoon we lounged away on south shore, and watched the fishermen fishing from the beach. It was worth 8 weeks furlough to see one of these men heave drail, which is 0 hook, weighted with the glittering bit of fattened metal that serves as bait for the voracious bluefsh. Letting out five or six feet of line, he fishes with 8 peculiarly quick, nervous motion, whirls it rapidly round his head two or three times, and then sends it out whirling over the breaker in long graceful parabola-ten, twenty, thirty, forty-some of these men shoot the dral till it spins out fifty fathoms of line. There's throw for some ambitious young Hawkeye to stand on the banks of the Mississippi and emulate. We saw an old man of seventy-six years heave the drail thirty-fve fathoms, and some of the boys would worry themselves to do that. When this line is out the fish CT instantly hauls it in rapidly, and the bluefsh is landed through the surf and dragged upon the beach. "Heave and haul" is the botanical term for this kind of fishing. And when you have caught fifty or hundred fish that way, you want to stop and have your arms sawed | off

Albanian Bashi- i-BazOuks.
A SKETCH OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE JUST
 BEEN SUMMONED TO ARMS.

The popular reputation of the Skipe- tar for military efficiency is not alto gether deserved. He is very light on foot, indefatigable and inured to all kinds of hardship, qualities, which fit him for an irregular of the first calibre, especially where there is any booty to be taken but he will risk his life fur ther for plunder than for military suc- cess. His personal courage is unim- peachable, and in single combat he is undaunted; but, though in battle he goes gayly and with great bravado to the attack, presenting formidable appear ance to those who do not know him, h1s military IS not on 8 par with his per sonal courage, and when the work gets hot and he begins to see his comrades fall around him, he loses his dash, and his discretion is equal to his valor. It is almost unknown in the interminable wars of the Montenegrins that the Alba nian irregulars have made an efficient attack even on much inferior forces. Suleiman Pasha, in his march through Montenegro, the hardest and best exe- cuted movement of the war, would &C., cept no Albanian forces, and Mehemet Ali, who had 1000 at Maratscha, saw his army dishearten ad and panic stricken by defeat of its irregulars by one-third their number of Montenegrins. Yet day by day fresh bands of recruits, clad in the simple and manly costume of their native mountains, pass to the front l through the streets of Scutari and along the level margin of the lake, singing their highland war songs as they go. Their women follow, rose-aproned, white-kerchiefed, unencumbered to the knees, bearing provisions for their lords and masters. There is the pride of in- dependence in every motion and in every look of their blue eyes. They pass be- side the Turkish minarets, and beneath the hill crowned by the old Venetian fortress to which still clings the legend of an earlier foundation of the days of Serbian Empire. In mountain gorge to the left rise the ruined towers of Dri- vasto, once stronghold of the Byzan- tine Empire; unawares they traverse the line of Roman military road; and even the pendant coins that glitter in the sunlight on their women's breasts recall the wealth and industry of old Hellenic colonies of the East Adriatic coast lands. Their land has been held in turn by Greek and Roman, Byzan- tine, Serb and Venetian. These suc- cessive conquerors have passed away, and now the Turk is about to follow them, but they-the remote descendants of the original Hlyrian peoples who held this land before the earliest of these later conquerors set foot on it-they, the Skip etars, "the children of the rock," re- main, and to-day, forgetting differences of creed, are marching forth to beat back the Montenegrin stranger from their native crags.

Officers With Good Lungs .

The Montenegrin army-and we'll disciplined and efficient force it is too has no buglers, drummers nor any other apparent mode of rallying its men in battle The troops depend for every thing on their own lungs-lungs in many of them that Stentor might have envied as they can shout with an incredible force and can make themselves heard at distances which would be thought im- possible. They particularly pride them selves on this power, together with very remarkable sight and acute hearing In our own army during the war there was quite number of Hungarian officers. Every one of them had lungs that were sound to the core, and voices that would have made a mad bull jealous. There was no need for the bugle to give call when Hungarian officer was around.

Walking End-Ways.

Among the many stories told of the late unpleasantness we find the follow ing: Political favor1tism during the course of the late war made some very interesting officers. Having returned from the front in June, 1862, business called me to the town of Wabash, Ind, some time in July. They were organ izing regiments in camp south of the town. Col. G. was commissioned for the Indiana Regiment. The drum beat for battalion drill. The Colonel rode out with 0 book in his hand, from which he was reading the commands. After the adjutant had formed the companies in line, the Colonel took his position near the center and gave the commands: "Atten- tion, battalion ! Forward, march!' He forgot the "right face," and the regi- ment commenced moving toward him. Then he commanded halt and broke out in roar "What in thunder did you do that way for? want you to get in two lines of fight and aOak eed- aoays like you did yesterday. We are going over in the field to drill, condemn ye; don't want you marching out here where I am. There are too many rocks and stumps here to drill and you ought to know it yourselves"
 The same colonel appointed the non- commissioned officers, but he insisted that the Governor of the State had to sign their warrants, or they were not legal appointments.
 On one occasion, coming up the road where it made square bend, he gave no command of "file left" The file leader of Company A kept on in 8 straight line in military style until he came up to the side of barn. There, of course, he stopped and marked time. The Colonel rode down the line in hot haste and terribly angry: "You in fernal long-legged sergeant, haven't you got sense enough to keep in the road :? What in thunder are you trying to march through barn for ?'
 Sometime in October, while in Ken lucky, he resigned for the good of the service. No doubt it was the most brilliant act of his life, and many others could have aided their country more than they did if they had done the same.

The Albanian Peasant.
off.

The Albanian, like the Cossack, is a born guerrilla, and the repeated efforts made to compress both these splendid savages into the mold of regular troops have uniformly destroyed, instead of in- creasing, their efficiency. When body of Arnaouts joined the garrison of Acre, just before Bonaparte's siege of it in 1798, Djezzar Pasha, the Turkish commandant, was about to enroll them as regulars. The Albanian chief objected. eff you pen up my children like sheep," said he, they will behave like sheep; but if you let them run free, like wolves, you will see how they can bite." The Pasha wisely yielded, and the Albanians, scat tering themselves along the ramparts, made such deadly use of their rifles as to render several of the enemy's batteries quite untenable. A French Colonel, while adjusting his sword-belt, happened to rest his elbow on the top of the breast work. "Take care, Colonel" said a passing officer, "one inch of the elbow is mark enough for an Arnaout." The Colonel was still laughing incredulously when an Albanian bullet so shattered the limb as to demand immediate ampu- ! tation.

 Gayly up the back yard the young man comes. Silently in ambush the old man lies. Cheerily the fat girl war bles. Quiet but awful is the syringe. In the uncertain light of early evening the old man sees 8 figure stealthily drawing nesr his guarded pen. With bated breath he waits the onslaught. The syringe sounds its dreadful "wh-s- s-h-p," and it's deadly contents fly through the air like wild and mad avenger. A yell that tore the azure robe of night, fairly knocked the fatgirl off the piano stool and curdled the old mans blood, followed the discharge, and when the neighbors rushed in, un- der the impression that the Blaine boom had burst right in the neighborhood, they found the unfortunate young man paving madly around on the ground, and screaming out awful Mexican words terrible to hear, while the old man hoy cred over the scene with the syringe in his hands, looking like an animated figure escaped from an allegory. Sym pathizing arms bore the young man into the house, after their owners had stopped their nostrils with cotton, and it required the combined efforts of the fat girl and eight friends to bring him to, and it was some hours before he was able to fairly inquire if the meteor hit anybody else when it struck. That night, beneath the darksome shade of 8 cypress tree, whose thick branches the struggling moonbeams vainly strove to pierce, an old man s tottering form rested upon spade, and silently viewed thew made grave. He had just buried the syringe. e.-Rocklo1ad Courier.

A Politicians Troubles.

There was great deal of excitement on Galveston avenue. Men were seen running in different directions and look ing up at the house. Some people said it was a fire, while others remarked that it was only fight. The truth was that the monkey of the well-known Italian or gan grinder had made his escape. A prominent local candidate saw the ami nal climbing over the roof of house. "How long has the organ grinder been in town p he asked breathlessly of young man who is going to be his depu- ty if the candidate is elected. "He is all right. We can vote him, anyhow" was the reply. In 0 moment the candi- dates coat was off. In another he was struggling to climb ten foot board fence. Just as he was getting his leg over his sweaty grip slipped, and down he came O.. pile of garbage. Before he could ra1l ly for second assault old uncle Nose, who was standing on the sidewalk, said, with an exasperating grin: "I say, Kernel, what's de use of cotchin' dat monkey? He can't vote, nohow." The colonel was so heated that, not thinking of the heavy colored vote of Galveston, he retorted hastily |: "You old moke, I don't see why mon- key with tail can't vote as we'll as one without tail.'' He was about to storm the fence again, when out came the hated rival candidate, caressing the mon- key on his arm. The amusing little creature was handed over to the grateful Italian voter. The disappointed candi- date found out then that somebody had gone off with his coat-in which were some very compromising letters-during the excitement. Old Uncle Nose, who has immense influence among the col ored voters, is coming Peter the Hermit on the unfortunate candidate, while the grateful organ-grinder is consolidating the Italian vote for the opposition.

THE HECH1NEsE.-''Compared with other nations, China" says the Celestial Ena- pire, 'sis wonderfully self-supporting, and little dependent on foreign con- merce. Except in extraordinary years of distress each district is capable of producing enough food for it's own SUD- port. There are no large bodies of workmen, like the Lancashire operatives, dependent on the introduction of raw material for means of earning their livelihood. Those occupied in the pro- duction of tea and silk would certainly feel severely thexstoppage of the export trade but as they are scattered over @ wide extent of country, they could not mass together and so become source of danger to the government, and it would be comparatively easy to furnish them with as much relief as would be re- quired to enable them to tide over their troubles"
