A Soldiers Revenge.

Captain Shoemaker tells this story of
his experience at Libby Prison, in the
Philadelphia Times There was one
among my prisoners for whom | neither
had respect nor sympathy-the notori-
GUS Dick Turner, ex-inspector of Rebel
prisoners. A thorough brute was he
the fit fellow for such an lnhuman mon
ster as Wirz When l assumed COM
mand Of the Richmond prisons there
were turned over to me complaints
against Turner that in bulk would have
heaped high a hushel basket and when
his capture was effected l ordered that
he be incarcerated in the vilest dungeon
Of Libby-a front basement cell. Sol
diers in the city, many of whom had
only been released from this same prison
by Richmonds fall, visited Libby in
numbers every day, and the main OBJ
ject of every visit seemed to be to seek
out and insult Turner. AS inspector of
prisons he had scrupled at no baseness,
and the days of the Spanish inquisition
were not more black with terrible deeds
than was the regime in Richmond. But
not mine is it to here dwell upon his
record of Infamous viciousness. l soon
found it unwise to hold him as public
curiosity, and issued orders refusing adj
mission to the prison basement. But
one day l was personally sought out by
a one armed officer from Connecticut
regiment, who so strongly urged per-
mission to see Dick Turner, that l for
once allowed my rule to be waived, and
accompanied the visitor myself TO the
Libby cellar. l callel the prisoner to
the front of the cell, and my one-armed
companion, advancing, demanded
"Dick Turner, do you know me p
"No"
"Don't know me, Ell Have you for
gotten how you had me piled with a
hundred other Union boys in cell up
stairs, and how you kicked me with your
neavy boots in the side when l was too
sick to get up, and how you slashed me
over the face with an ox-whipl The
scar is there yet" almost Missed the man
on the outside of the grated door
"Don't you see 1T =
The hand was raised as if to point out
the long scar that EXTENDED across the
forehead, but for no such purpose was
the movement A moment later a
tightly clenched fist struck through the
little opening in the door full upon the
eyes of the prisoner, and Dick Turner
sprawled senseless upon the floor of his
cell But ae was not killed.
Never after would | allow any visitor
under any circumstances to approach
Turner's cell

Respiration Affected by Food.

to the following conclusions: With an

High Play Among the Russians

PLAY has run so nigh of late at the
st. Petersburg Yacht Club that the most
august personages in Russia have felt
themselves called upon to check the
gambling propensities of the reckless
Boyars whose recent inordinate gains
and losses have been brought under their
cognizance. 1t would appear that the
particular episode which prompted the
Imperial Intervention was the changing
Of hands within week of no less sum
than 100000 in the play roolus Of the
club. More than half of that enormous
amount was lost by Prince Demidoh, of
San Donate. to his cousin, Colonel
Count Schouvaloff-not the diplomatist,
but an aide de-camre to the Car. This
stupendous gambling transaction came
to the ears of Count Loris- Melikof, who
deemed it his duty to report the matter
to the Emperor, craving His Majestys
permission to dissolve the club. This
browning disaster to the jeunesse doiee
Of the Russian capital was averted
through the interposition OF the Grand
Duke Vladimir; but the Car, it is
stated, sent for Count Schouvalotf, and
laid his commands upon that gentleman
to return seven -eighths of his winnings
to Prince DemidoH, observing that " he
might be very well satisfied with having
gained f4O, 900 at game of cards" 1t
is needless to say that His Majesty's
orders were carried out to the letter.

A "Reminiscences.

We learn from the East that Mr..
Joseph McArdle (familiarly known to
the profession as "Joe') is dead He
was Edwin Forests business agent
when the great actor visited this coast
some tel or twelve years ago. And
Thereby hangs the tale. Joe had hard
time with his principal, who came to us
in IA condition of physical-we may as
we'll say NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. He suf-
fered mart ,rdom from sciatica, and his
stage action only went so far as this
nerve demon permitted it. After Mr..
Forrest completed his engagement with
Mr.. Magulre-completed with some per
sonal suffering and great public dissatis-
faction-he was advised to try the cura-
tive influence of CALIFORNIA; thermal
springs He chose the Geysers, and
went there accompanied by the ever
faithful Joe. Forrest found congo NAL
spirits at Sonomas favorite sanative re-
sort, and he loved to sit on the riazza
and IS wap lies with Colonel Jack Gam
bill, Senator Tom Wand. and others,
forgetting, in the pleasant converse, ply
steal suffering and the shadows Of de-
clining life. Joe smoked the pipe of
peace under the nearest buckeye. But
the Intellectually great and physically
weak tragedian did not forget the object
of coming to the Geyser's the benefit,
if any, of the waters. He bathed regu-
larly every morning and evening. His
favorite plunge was in hot pool stre ng
ly impregnated with iron--so hot that
its waters had TO be tempered from a
neig hboring cooler spring before they
were bearable. 1t was about two miles
from the hotel, and he rode there every
morning shortly after day 1t was
Joes business to preceIe him, and by
turning che cooler water into the hot,
modify the temperature so as to make it
enjoyable. Tom Wand saw the chance
for practical joke. He "aid Cor" Joe
And when, one morning, that unsus-
pecting individual had fixed things all
right by turning the movable tlume of
cold into the boiling, chalybeate water,
and gone off to do little fishing in Plu
ton creek, Wand emerged from conceal
ment, turned the hume aside and awaited
the result. Presently came Forrest
mounted on pony. He stripped hur-
riedly, and plunged unsuspecting'y into
the pool, now almost at Il boiling point.
There was yell such as scared the bears
in the chaparral, a volley Of oaths and
a hasty scramble for ira tirma. Wand
made himself scarce, because, he said,
the air was 'blue with cursing." The
tragedian came back to the hotel foam
ing with rage, calling for McArdle, and
charging every body with being i'll con-
spiracy to xiii him. When the inno-
cent Joe did return, the nature of the
interview may be imagined. He had
no occasion to speak to Forrest for "a
week afterward, and the parboied actor
made it almost as warm for the people
ut the hotel as it was at the iron water
BATH But Wand always insisted that
the heroic treatment to which Forrest
was subjected, by way of joke, did
more to relieve hun from pain than the
more moderate treatment he adopted
and, if we are not mistaken, Forrest
himself confessed as much when his ruff
fled temper was soothed, and the cutcu-
lar irritation had subsidized
