"0ld Folks AT Home

"Old Folks at Home was written by
Stephen c. Foster thirty years ago, who
sold it to Christy, Of minstrel fame, for
S., and received bonGs of So more
for the privilege of having his Chris
ty's) name on the title-page as author,
and after that piece had made him rich
he generously gave Foster $50 more,
which was all he ever received for the
song. But it served to make the
author famous and to sell all his c.her
songs, yet he died poor man. For a
while the piece waned in public favor.
until it was sung by Mile. Nilsson at
her concerts, when it took new start,
and at this present time it is one of the
best selling songs in the market. The
numerous prescriptions from its melo-
dy by upwards of twenty different com.
posers serve to keep it popular. 1t is
really worthy companion piece to
Sweet Home" and will probably be
sung for hundred years or more.

"Only a PriYnta.r

It was at Dallas. lie was Benona
Burch, private Of the ith Michigan
cavalry. A line had been pushed for
ward on the right Of Logan's corps to
turn the flank OF the enemy Tho ad-
vance met n sharp muslctry fire but
pushed steadily forward across an open
field, driving the enemy aud gaining II
position on the edge of the woods.
which was held, Burch, in crossing
this field was mortally wounded, and
was carried to the rear in an uncon-
scous condition. A few moments later,
on rcviving, he eagerly asked for
"Mart," his messmate, and taking his
hand, with the death rattle in his
throat, smile on his face, his frame
twisted into contortions with agony, he
exclaimed "Mart, tell them died at
my post and give them good-by." His
eyes close, his hands fall by his side,
comrades stand around him, and down
the cheeks of these veterans tears are
silently coursing. At this moment tho
artillery of the 10th corps open n terri
bic fire, making the earth fairly tremble.
Burch opens his eyes, smile lights up
his countcnance, and with his last
breath he oXclaims "IIurrah for the
old flag" aud expires. Only aprivate,
and still only one of the thousands and
thousands of heroes who laid down
their lives unknown and unsung. To
his poor old parents and comrades, q
hero with namelesS grave, with grim

through the tress of Dallas, sing his
everlasting requiem. lie was not
Thomas, u Sedgwick, nor Kearney; no

adorns no page in history, nopoets sing
the glory of his heroic death, but the
recording angel of heaven writes the
immortal history of all these. "Only

Cuaiut Phrases of the Pacific Coast,

The great west has become noted for
quaint and expressive phrases coined
by the rough element Of the coast. The
miner and prospector, as he wandered
through the hills and followed The cir
cuitous valleys and Mario pa srs, pre-
fixed names to these places, a. ''gulch-
es." and canyons" until almost evarr

ern life, finds himself lost in an eastern
metropolis and fails 10 meet his en-
gagement on prompt time, but Is not at
a loss to give q decided reason for his
delay, because of "getting lost among
the box canyons" Terse and pointed
remarks like that of the man who said:
81 did not fight him, but had he come a
step further the doctors would have
thought when they dissected him that
they had struck new lead mine" are
quite common among miners. How
expressive are the sayings. 'lle is

shows well on the SURFACE but there is
nothing in his lower levels" or che

early days on the Pacific coast are
called "oldtimers," and when they die
it is not uncommon for their associates
TO speak Of their taking-of as their

who have toied through the SHOWS and
brayed the dangers Of crossing great
mountain ridges have coined style of
expression upon the death Of an old
friend which TO them is fuller Of mean.

The late Duke of Alba, brother.in-
law of the ex-Empress Eugene, was
one of the most persistent gamblers Of
tho time. He once gambled away tho
sum of 5000 900 francs In u single
nights play After squandering the
immense fortune which he inherited,
he received q pension OF 10000 francs
year. lilo was paid monthly, but by
the fifteenth day Of every month not Q
franc was left OF his 5000 francs. and
he used to borrow B or 0 louis dor In
the club. AT last, however, q turn OF
fortune came. All his debts we're paid,
and the Duke OF Berwick and Alba pur-
chased one Of the most splendid pala-
cos in Madrid, where he lived in prince
ly style, keeping 100 horses In his sta
bles and open table every evening for
forty guests. During tho latter part Of
his life he only played for very small
sums, having a wholesome dread OF
again risk'ng his fortune and position.

Canuibal FeaStS in Fiji.

But prior TO the great change in Fiji caused
by Christianity a feast would have been held
of small account which was not graced by
abundant human flesh, and if by chance there
was no war on hand to provide this delisacy,
there was rarely much difficulty in finding
some neighboring village, canoe driven
ashore by stress of wealth r, or, failing these, o
few insight feant serfs or wives who had lost
favor with their lords, supplied the place OF
home-farm produce. Several peculiarities
were observed concerning the bokata or human
flesh. 1t was considered indigestible unless
eaten with certain herbs which were purposely
grown in every village. Moreover, it was the
only meat which was preferred rather high,
and which must not be handled, from belief
that il would produce skiB-disease. Therefore
it was invariably eaten with peculiar round
wooden fork with four long prongs. Some Of
the most noted cannibals, who gloried in the
multitude of men whom they had eaten, actu-
ally kept record of their number by erecting
lines of stones. One of these registers numbers
S72, and the Christian son of this ogre declares
that his father ate them all himself, allowing
