A Mean Reb.

At the second battle of Bull Run, a
Michigan regiment, in making change
OF position, came upon a Confederate
soldier sitting astride of Federal who
was lying on his back. Each had firm
hold of the other. and neither could
break the hold. As the troops came up
the reb was taken in, and as the Yank
arose he was asked how he came in such
a fix.
"Why, captured the blamed Johnny"
he replied.
"Then how did he come to be on the

Got q Corner.

On one of the morning trains over the Erie
road the other day a farmer-looking man
walked the length of a car without finding
an empty seat, and he slowly returned to one
occupied by a lone man, who at once spread
himself odt as much as possible and sudden
ly became deeply interested in his ne newspaper.
The farmer ihalted beside the seat, but the
other made no movement. Even after a full
minute had passed there was no sign that he
meant to share his quarters with the other.
Then the farmer touched his arm and softly
said:
at you hang on long enough you'll maze
a fortune"
"What's that, sir?" demanded the ether, as
he locked up.
"lt's a big thiDg-hang to it," whispered
the farmer.
"What is it? What do you mean by that,
sir ?'

the farmer.
"What do you mean, sir?"

on the hog market ever known in this coun-

out of it Iii eat Goldfish for q year."
Half that seat was suddenly vacated, but

against the s,0se.-FaH Street Ne,rs.

A Fish Story.

Peck's Sun tells this almost incredible
story:
at is said that during the high water at
Prairie du Chen the Douseman house was
full of guests, the water was up to the second
story and they could not get away. Williams,
the proprietor, made the guests catch fish for
their board. There was a fish pole out IF
every window, and Williams had a corner Oh
bait. He had a place where lie could dig
worms, and no one knew where it was but
himself. 1t was said to be a touching sigh.
to see him go around to the different rooms
with all oyster can and sell angle worms to
the travelling men. The guests finally struck
on buying worms. They opened the windows
and let the fish III the rooms, and then chased
them under the beds and caught them in
wash bowls. One travelling man says Will:
Jams is awful heartiess. A mud turtle came
along and roasted on the second story window
sill and Williams pushed him Off into the
water because lie hadn't any baggage and
wouldn't pay in advance. Some of these
stories against Williams are tod by Col.
Johnson, who was down on Williams on &C
count of some game played at Hot Springs,
we believe they call it "John Pot Williams
says he turned the mud turtle away because
he thought it was one of Johnson's bed bugs.
We wouldn't have such a temper as either of
these men have got for nothing

Bathing

The dangers Of bathing after eating heartily
are generally known but not always appre-
ciated. Two Instances have recently been re-
ported in which death resulted from the i'm
prudent act. In one case a boy of IA, after
eating a hearty meal, went in bathing. While
swimming beside a companion he gave a sud-
den cry and sank beneath the water. He was
speedily brought to the shore, but all attempts
at resuscitation failed. As some obstruction
of the organs Of respiration was indi ated,
the boys trachea Was opened and pieces of
food were found in it. A partial removal of
these was made, but to no purpose. The
other case was similar, and food was also
found in the trachea and upper part of the
lunos,-HOuT.

Constitutes n Drunkard-What n
Saloon Keeper Can Do.

A common drunkard' is not a regular tip
pier, but one who is frequently drunk. Proof
that one was drunk six times, on six different
days, in three months, when there was no
evidence of his state on the other days, does
not enttle him to the presumption that he
was sober On the other days. The rule of law
is that things are presumed to continue in
statu quo. An ''habitual drunkard'' is one
who has the habit of INDUCING in intoxicat-
drunk whenever tile temptation is presented
by his being near where liquor is sold. The
phrase 'addicted to the excessive use OF in
tOXicating liquors. means not the occasional
excessive use, but the habitual excessive use.
A "salOOu keeper" is one who retalls cigars,
liquors, ct hoe genus Onlne. In England, one
who on Sunday walked to a spa Two and a
half miles from his home for the purpose OF
drinking the mineral water for the benefit Of
his health, and then took some ale at q hotel
Ito keep the water down, We suppose,) was
held by the court o. common pleas to be a
"traveler." In considering the question of
selling liquor to a minor the court held
that the fact that a youth wore a beard and
said that he was twenty-one was no proof that
he was an adult. Judges do not exactly
knew-at least when OH the bench-what a
"salOon" is. They say that it does not neces-
sariiy import a place to sell liquor that il
may mean a place for the sale Of general re.
~freshments, or that it may mean a place for
the reception of company, or for an exhibit
ton of works of art, etc. Neither an inclosed
park of four acres in extent, nor an unin'
closed and uncovered platform erected for the
~votaries of the terpsichorean art and where
lager beer is sold, can rightfully be consid.
cred a "saloon," as a s'house" or 'buildlng'

And danced DER the pathway along. ,

And who dares to say it was wrong? D..

That enticed us to snuggle our kisses Within
Then rustled the breezes. and, whispering, they
said;
eve tangled your darling's soft hair.
We frolicked so lovingly round the dear head,
And toyed with the curls bright and fair;
And we'll do it again, should she come in our
way, .
For there's nothing we love like a baby at
play
And who tore the dress? Then the bushes
around
All lifted their blossomed- wreathed arms.

And we trembled with sudden alarms
Lest the darling should vanish and we loved

Feeding Poultry.
Lancaster Farmer.

ILanCaSter Farmer.
1t is a common practice to throw the chick
en- food on the cold snow, sometimes where
it is as deep as the fowls can we'll wade
through; or, even worse, into a regular mud
hole. Neither of these methods is of advaGl-
tage to the fowls. In the first case they are
obliged to swallow a large amount of cold,
chilling snow, and in the second an amount
of mud IS taken into the stomach that is not
desirable. All this discomfort could be
avoided by providing a feeding trough so ar
ranged that the food may be clean. Aside
from the looks of the practice. 1t will pay to
be neat in feeding these animals that help to

rExnYsON's LATEST PoEn.

rThis is Alfred Tennyson's poem in mem
ory of his brother Charles Turner, who died
in the spring of 1879, being nearly 81 years OF
age. he was a graduate of Cambridge and
for nearly so years vicar Of Grasby, in Lin
colnshire, the native county Of both BROTH
ers. He changed the name of Tennyson for
that of Turner as the condition of inheriting
a small estate, which is the reason that his
name is often written with the "Tennyson"
in brackets, thus. "Charles [Tennyson] ,Tur-
ner." Mr.. Turner wrote verse of studied
elegance anl beauty, and many sonnets, OF

A APITTSBURGH CHURCH MIL.
TTANT.

PITTSBURGH, Dec. 81, 1879.-The
troubles of the First Reformed Presby-
terian Church in this city will not
down. Yesterday the faction opposing
the Rev Nevin Woodside, pastor-elect,
announced through a newspaper that
! the Rev Robert Clyde would occupy
the pulpit in the evening, the commit
tee on supplies of the Presbytery hav-
ing so directed. The Woodside people
came back through the evening papers,
announcing that Woodside would
preach both morning and evening.
The anti-W Woodsiders appointed $3.50
p. NJ as the hour for their services,
and still determined to hold the church
against the opposing faction. Wood
side this morning announced that the
Sabbath School would be held at half
past two, an hour later than usual.
Shortly after three O'Clock the anti
Woodside faction gathered at the
church, and Dougald Mum took a seat
in front to lead the prayer-meeting,
Mr.. Clyde having declined to preach.
r. c. Miller, Woodside man, told
Mum there would be a row if they
held services, and soon after Sunday
School was dismissed Mum announced
to the audience that the Session of the
church had decided to postpone the
services.
"What Session? This church has
no Session - exclaimed Woodside.
'This church has Session" chimed
in Treasurer James Houston
This proved the signal for a row.
Woodside pulled off his overcoat and
with the crowd rushed up around
Houston and Alexander Black, another
Trustee A regular melee ensued.
Elder Dickson was struck on the head
and severely cut with poker. Stew
art, son of Elder Mum, was knocked
off a chair and his spectacles went
flying over the seats. Elder Bickersteff
was run out of the church by the
Woodside men and received severe
fall Trustee Borckley was struck on
the head, face and wrist with an um-
brella by one of Nuns men, Numcr-
Gus other blows were struck and severe
bruises received.
The excitement ran high and Elder
Mum rushed for the assistance Of the
police, but the disturbance was quelied
before the officers arrived. Mrs. Mum
gave Woodside red-hot tongue-lash-
ing, and foul language and even pro-
family was heard on all sides. A half
dozen young men or more, belonging
to either faction, were under the in
auence of whisky. The scenes were
certainly the most disgraceful ever had
in this city.
At the evening services Woodsidc
said, from the pulpit, that so long as
he was pastor no man else had the
right to preach there, and, until he
was deposed by higher authority, no
man should come into the pulpit with
out his consent. And thus the mat
ter stands now, but where it will end
no one can tell.

On opening the mould the charrcd re-

are found. 1t must be taken out with
the greatest care, else it will fall to
pieces. After being removed from the
mould it is placed in little globe and
attached to the wires leading to the

then connected with an air pump, and
the latter is at once set to work ex-
tracing the air After the air has
been extracted the globe is sealed, and

He finds that the electricity can be
regulated with entire reliability at the
central station, just as the pressure of
gas is now regulated. By his system
of connecting the wires, the extin-
guishment of certain of the burners af-
fects the others no more than the ex-
tinguishment of the same number of
gas burners affects those drawing the
supply from the same mains. The
simplicity of the completed lamp seems
certainly to have arrived at the high

scarcely possible to simplify it more

The lamp shown is table lamp
For chandeliers, it would consist of
only the vacuum globe and the carbon
Glament attached to the chandelier
and connected to the wires leading to
the generating machine in a central
station, perhaps half mile away, the
wires being run through the gas pipes,
so that in reality the only change ne
cessary to turn gas jet into an cleo
trio lamp is to run the wires through
the gas pipe, take off the jet, and
screw the electric lamp in the latter's
place Although the plans have been
fully consummated for general illumi-
nation, the outline Of the probable sys-
TEN to be adopted is the locating of
central station in large cities in such a
manner that each station will supply
an area of about one-third of mile
In each station there will be, it is con-
templated, one or two engines of i'm
mense power, which will drive several
generating machines, each generating
machine supplying about fifty lamps.
