 Turning, he saw his wife with their child in her arms, stand ing just back of him.
 The revulsion, from the extremes of grief and despair to this blessed reality, was too strong, and had it not been for the officer who was standing by, he would have fallen to the floor.
 It seems that Mrs. Irwin, who had barely time to escape with her life, had taken refuge at house opposite. She had seen her husband rush past, on his way to the station, and divining his er- rand, followed as quickly as possible.

The United States Army.

General Sherman has submitted his annual report to the Secretary of War, inclosing the reports of Generals Drum and Sackett, and the reports of the com manding Generals of the divisions and departments. General Sherman says they also show that our companies are too small for efficient discipline and for economical service. When the National Treasury was poor and loaded with debt, the army endeavored to gracefully submit to over work, but now they ap- peal for relief, and it is recommended that Congress repeal the clause of the existing law which limits the enlisted force of the army at 25, 900 men. Con. siderable space is devoted to discus sion of the subject of officers servants, General Sherman maintaining that nc soldier should ever be compelled to dc menil labor without compensation ol without his own consent, and he rec ommends that the existing law be re pealed or modified so as to secure thii end Referring to West Point he says it has been and must continue to be ths fountain source of military education ir time of peace. In his judgment the Military Academy at West Point fulfill it's uses and can safely be intrusted t. prepare boys to become soldiers of tn future.

Breaking the Policy Shops.

That great swindle, the policy busi- ness, is owned and controlled by three New York men. The drawings, which are purported to be made in Georgia, Kentucky and Florida, are made in a cellar in New York after the returns are made by the policy shops, and are made up to suit the exigencies of the case. Every policy den is supposed to pay percentage of its daily business to these three men. who, as a consequence, have 8 soft thing of it. There are, however, some dealers who will not pay this tribute, and every once in little while suffer the consequences. A short time ago the dealers who would not pay were badly "paralyzed," and recently the non-payers had another stroke of bad luck. This time Philadelphia was made to suffer. The New York men sent to Philadelphia lot of sharpers and they played three rows exceeding popular with policy players - the "eating," "dead and "note." The rows are as follows: Eating" 2, 21, 69; "dead, g, 19, 29; "note." 4, 5, 54. As was arranged beforehand in New York the three rows came out, and every policy shop in Philadelphia was broken. The keeper of we'll known den, who lost $11, ,0OO by the chit, '" said: ''This is the worst blow we ever had, although the New York gang struck us for ESQ., 900 last spring and $40, ,0O0 in 1880. They are piggish and demand share of our profits, and as we won't produce they go in to break us, and guess they have succeeded pretty we'll this time if we pay our winners, which we will have to do or drop out of business. A Philadelphia paper says: The packers here say they cannot afford to pay the debts occasioned by the strike, and therefore it is extremely probable that the policy shops in this city will be closed for some time to come.

For the Soldiers.

Quartermaster-G General Meigs, in his annual report, estimates that the new method of lighting barracks and other quarters with mineral oil will cost about $2,5OO 8 year more than the lighting hitherto has cost. But he adds that the we'll being of the troops at the posts supplied with the new light has already been advanced-that "the men, being able to read without injury to their eyes, spend more time Tn rational amusement, and less time at the sutler's store, at the grog shops, and in the guard house. " If so, never was an army item of $2, 800 more iudioiously expended. The only wonder is that during all these past years the internal economy of the army has progressed no further in illumina- tion than candlelight. With the com- fort and the attraction of kerosene, the army will never again go back to the dark ages that ended for them with the year 1881.

The Law of Guarantee.

A decision was rendered in the Su- preme Court of the United States on Monday in the case of Davis and Patrick against Wells, Fargo & Co.,, which settles some points in the law of guar antee that have hitherto been subjects of controversy. This court holds that where A, ''in consideration of $1 to him in hand paid" executes and causes to be delivered to B an unconditional agreement to guarantee the payment, up to specified amount, of C's present and future indebtedness to the said B, it is not necessary for B formally to in- form the guarantor, A, of his acceptance of the terms of the agreement, or to keep the latter informed from time to time of the amount of C's huctuating indebtedness. In the opinion of this court the written instrument in ques- tion is not merely an offer to do cer- tain thing, which to be valid must be formally accepted by the party for whose benefit it is made. It is, on the con- trary, completed contract, by virtue of the acknowledgment which it contains of the receipt by the guarantor of 8 valuable consideration for the services to be rendered. The payment to the guarantor of the stipulated consideration is sufficient notice to him that his agree ment is accepted, and he is by the in- strument itself estopped now from denying that such consideration was received. The fact that the considera- tion is merely nominal makes no differ ence. A stipulation in consideration of $1 is just as effectual as if the sum were larger. With regard to the obligation of the guarantee to inform the guarantor of the default of the debtor, the court holds that, where the guarantor suffers loss or damage by reason of the failure of the guarantee to give him such noti- fcation, he is to that extent released, but both the laches of the plaintiff and the loss of the defendant must concur to constitute defense. The judgment of the court below, in favor of Wells, Fargo & Co.,, is affirmed. Opinion by Justice Matthews.

THE 4 UTUMN LEA YES.

Twas at the time when summer flowers decay. And leaves fall trembling from the trees, That Lucys mother, ill at ease, ..-... Thus heard her daughter, fondly dreaming, say; "Yes, dearest mother, shall be his wife, And to his happiness devote my life And am young, dear mother, you know
 well ;'
 But down, a-down, the sere leaves fell. "Alas how distant seems the wedding day, When the ring of gold shall wear, And joyfully enwreath my hair With those white orange flowers that brides Then I, thy daughter, he, thy son, will be United in one tenderness for thee; Together in such happiness we'll dwell ;" But down, a-down, the sere leaves fell. |" "Then in the winter, mother, at the ball, 'ls she not lovely?' all will say. My mother, do not weep, pray; I'm well, quite well, why let those tear-drops
 fall?
 Yes, am better-banish all thy fears; Indeed, indeed there is no cause for tears With certain hope feel my bosom swell;' But down, a-down. the sere leaves fell. A month had passed, and autumn now was
 gone, saw 8 new-erected tomb
 Which on the valley cast gloom, And plainly read 8 name upon the stone Twas Lucy's name. Think what her mother
 felt, When bowed by heavy grief in prayer she
 knelt, When heaven-turned eyes her anguish told
 too well; Oh, then no more the sere leaves fell.

A Nice Little Story.

A story with 8 joyous ending is told in the New York Sah,a. In its opening scenes we observe the happy dry goods store, favorite of neighboring city, and the pride of it's partners-a specta- cle of industry and prosperity. By degrees cloud is seen to be developing over the scene-a cloud arising from a contrast between what may have seemed to them respectively the gravity of the one partner and the gayety of the other. Then comes the eliminating disagree ment. in the narrative, which ends all direct intercourse between the two chief members of the firm. In the next act the curtain rises on system of commu- nication by which, whenever one of the two chief partners wants to speak to the other, he speaks to the junior partner, who considers himself for the moment as the other chief partner, and in this circuitous form all intelligence passes between the two chiefs. This act must be rather long, lasting ten or fifteen years, but it certainly is not without a1 element of humor, and striking figure on the stage is that of the junior part ner, who has frequently to personate both himself and his two senior part ners, thus wildly realizing Mrs. Nal aprop's definition of Cerberus as "thret gentlemen at once." In the last ac comes the sly god Cupid to do what al the other gods and goddesses of Brook lyn had failed to accomplish and when in due time, after the gradual progress of the tender passion, the marriage bell ring and the bridal tour is made, thu cur tain falls over the cordial reconcilia tion, amid the h earty good wishes of al the city, of the long estranged but nov at last sympathetic founders and chief of the dry goods store.

OPIUM SMoKMG.-It is said that opium-smoking is rapidly on the in- crease among American men and women, low estimate giving five thousand white persons who indulge habitually in this practice. One writer states that he is personally acquainted with nearly one hundred in New York alone. Each white ha6itxe consumes daily about 100 grains. Multiply this by the days in the year and the number of smokers, and we arrive at the con- clusion that Americans annually con- sume 23, 762 pounds of opium in this manner. Last year the amount oi opium imported was T,196 pounds, valued at $773, 796.

HE LOVED HIS POWDER. Cincinnati boy brought home some caps and full minating powder from the fireworks factory in which he was employed, and put them under his bed. His mother struck them with broom while sweep ing, and caused an explosion which al- most killed her. The lad did not let this mishap hinder his diversion. He brought home much larger quantity of the explosives, and kept them in a box on the roof of the house. A few days ago roofer picked up the box, rubbed the powder between his fingers, and was blown into fragments.

A Wall street broker testified in the examination that he re- quested the Baldwins to withdraw their account, because he thought that men in responsible financial position ought not to be buying million dollars worth of stocks at 8 time on margin. The brokers hint apparently was not taken to heart by Baldwin, but the request was wise. ....
