A NOBLE LIFE

IL Is impossible for true and pa
triotit American TO contemplate the
distinguishing acts of the lie of Gen
Hancock aud not grow in admiration
for his character The biography OF
Gen. Hancock, which Col, Forney has
prepared, was not necessary to call
the attention OF the people to those
fascinating and re'assuring character.
istcs OF the gallant General and the
accomplished gentleman but it gives
the facts OF his life and record greater
force and symmetry because it places
them in logical sequence and oonsti.
tutes mirror OF u chivalrous and
widely useful career, II shows the
gallantry, the devotion and unselfsh,
ness Of Gen. Hancock from tho time
he swore allegience to bis country mp
to the present 1t shows that his
sentiments have never been accidental
held for convenience to be exchanged
Tor another set OF opinions when there
might be moro made thereby He
has been consistent and unhinching in
his obedience TO what he ever consid.
cred the right lIo has seen quickly
to the core OF every emergency with
which he has been confronted, and he
has been as prompt and skilliul in
applying remedies as in discovering
difficulties and dangers that threatened
the Republic.
We have said that Hancocks acts
and his unvarying attitude prove him
to have been an unselfsh hero, and
that IN every step of his long public
service he sought the path of duty
rather than that which might seem to
point to selfintcrest. Colonel Forney
makes mention of that trait in his
biography; but he does not claim for
himself the merit of a discoveror for il
was too conspicuous an element in
Iancock,s character to be overlooked
by any one who knew him. Had he
played his cards for his own personal
advancement as carefully as Grant or
Pope and few such men played them,
there was no position in the army, and
hardly any in the gift of the country,
that ho might not have aspired to.
Congressional resolutions of thanks
and the enthusiastic outspoken admi.
ration of the people greeted the heroic
and knightly deeds OF the young Gen.
But he could not be untrue to his
principles, He knew at the close Of
the war that rewards we're greatest in
the Republican party but never in
bis lie had he been more true and
ardent Democrat than at that very
time 1t was then that he exhibited
a grander courage than when he
stayed the invasion of Pennsylvania
at Gettysburg. He dared to be 'un.
popular for the sake OF the right. 1t
was then that he proved the truth of
his words: Nothing can intimidate
me from doing what | believe to be
honest and right" That has been the
key to bis character in every situation
in which be has been called upon to
act. Such q record deserves great
reward - NeipqTk Ohio 1dp0cdfP.

A PATENT ALARM BED.

MIR. Washtub is the name of the gen.
tleman who won't stop at an up-coun
try hotel again. 1t seems that the
clerk had to get up very carly in the
morning, and finding difficulty in wax
ing, built a patent alarm bed IN &C.
cordance with plans given him by Mr.,
Edison, who once stopped at his house.
The bed had q powerful clock work
attachment, and at set hourit would
arouse any man who wasn't dead.
The day after they got the thing set
up in the house there was a great rush
OF guests, and the clerk, in order to
accommodate Mr. Washtub, gave up
his bed to hip He also forgot to shut
off the alarm, and the result was that
about four o'clock in the morning
Washtub was aroused by most ter.
riblc racket. lie opened his eyes and
sat up in bed, and then he heard a
voice, which came from a phonograph
attachment to the bed, exclaim: "You
old mucker, pile outw If he had un.
derstood the thirg he would have hop.
ped out of bed and shut of the alarm.
But he didn't and thought it was
burglars So be lay down again and
pulled the covers over his head, and
the bed began to shake violently, and
he thought il was an earthquake, and
was terribly scared. The bed shook
80 that he had to cling to the mattress
to keep in, and finally the bed seemed
to rise up right under him, and he was
hurled violently to the floor, He tried
TO rise, and just then the mattress came
off upon him with great force and
noored him again. He had terrible
time getting out from under them, and
just as he did so, and gave a wild yell
for help, shower of ice water came
upon him, and then the stats OF the
bed began to whack at him, and as he
could see but little in the dim light Of
the room, be thought be must have
gone to sleep in threshing machine,
and some one had started it. His yells
finally brought the landlord who stop.
ped the machine, and tried to calm the
terrified guest by explaining the thing
to him. But the explanation only made
matters worse, for the victim lost two
trains stopping over to lay for the
clerk, who had found out what he had
done, and kept out of the way.-Bos

Ashen tree, ashen tree,
Pray, buy these warts from me

In place Of a pin, nail driven into
an oak is reported to cure toothache
A Gloucestershlre remedy consists in
rubbing the warts with snail after il
has been pierced as many times as
there are warts, As the snail by dc.
grees withers away, so it Is believed
that the wart impregnated with lis
matter will do the same. 1t has been
pointed out that most OF the charm:
Of this kind are Of the nature of q
sacrifice, the warts being transferred
to q substitute.
A lover of statistics has Just made
an interesting calculation Of the mum.
Der of pins made daily. Birmingham
holds the first rank, turning out 81,
100000 every day London and Dub
lin 100000; or Great Britain and
Ireland, 50,OO0,O00. France produces
2O,0OO,O0O; Holland and Germany
about l0,0O0,0O0 each. For all Eu.
rope 10000, 600 daily must be about the
number manufactured This would
make 10000, 900, 900 yearly, u product
representing in value 52,300,000. In
the United States we make over 49,.
600, 100000 a year, which makes 46S
for each inhabitant Fifty years ago
a man could make fourteen pins min.
ute to-day he can make $4,000 min.
ute, thanks to improved machinery.
But despite the enormous production,
and that though pins never break and
rarely wear out, we are constantly
hearing the question, "Can you lend
me a pin 2 aud now very often it hap.
pens that not pin can be found in q
party OF half dozen or more. Pins
disappear, then, almost wholly by be.
ing lost-lost at the rate OF 13l 900.
600 ! estimating the entire population
of the globe at 1000, ,OOO, 200, each per.
son, man, woman, and child loses less
than one pin day-in the United
States somewhat more than ono pin a
day for each inhabitant. But as more
than one-half the population consists
of children or sayages who use very
iow or no pins, we may set down the
loss for each adult at about two and
half day. On the whole, then, we
are rather economical in the matter of
pins, and where the pins 90 is not so
great mystery as many suppose.
