Borrowed Herself Ont.

1t often happens that the loan of some
household necessity may be of very great
convenience to neighbor-such as flour,
eggs, matches, tea ETC., but how often these
things are paid back by an inferior article, or
else entirely forgotten, or perhaps the show
ofmaking payments is gone through with and
less quantity than was given is returned
remember hearing story which is so apt
to this last point that cannot help but relate
it. "a plain Friend had for neighbor one
who was constant borrower, and as she saw
the articles when returned were less in guam
tity than she had given, she resolved to put
the following plan into execution She
bought one pound of the very best tea and
put it into separate box, and when the
neighbor borrowed Il cupful it was taken out
of this box when she returned it, it was put
back in the same place; but as she always re-
turned much less quantity than she borrow
ed, the result was in time the box became
empty. So one morning when she came for
the usual cupful of tea, which she would re-
turn after she came back from the store, the
following conversation took place:
"Dost thou see this tea box, Sarah Ann q"

The Noise Of Cannon,

In an article describing the Confederate
charge on the last day of Gettysburg, M.
Quad says in the Detroit Free Press:-At
2 o'clock, while there was almost perfect ST.
lence over that great battlefield, the sudden
boom of gun was heard from Lees centre.
lis echoes were yet rolling back and forth
from hill to hill when there came crash as
if the heavens and the earth had met. Lee
had opened with nearly $50 pieces of artil-
lery. Meade had massed eighty or more guns
in the centre to reply, and now 300 cannon
began their awful din.
An officer standing within thirty feet of three
six Founders which are being rapidly fired
must shout his orders. One standing as
near rs that to full battery could not hear a
thunder.clap in the sky above. The roar of
twenty pieces ofartillery will drown ordinary
voices half mile away. Mcclellan had sixty
or seventy guns massed at Malvern Hill, and
dishes were shaken down in houses six miles
away The cannonade at the first Bull Run
was nothing compared to subsequent battles,
and vet the reverberations were distinctly
heard in Washington, twenty miles away.
The cannonade at Fredericksburg toppled
down farmhouse chimneys eight miles dis
tant, and was heard twenty .five miles. Think,
then, of $50 pieces of artillery, many of them
Parrot guns, massed on the crest of hills and
all firing as fast as men could serve them An
earthquake could not thus have shaken the
earth. Men became giddy and staggered,
and houses seemed to lift off their founda-
tions. In ten minutes after the first gun was
fired one could no longer distinguish single
reports. All reports were consolidated into
one terrible roar which alarmed cattle in the
fields fifteen miles away, and was plainly
heard by human ears forty miles away

With my grist on the horse before,
And talked with Nelly, the miler's girl,

The wheel might stop or the wheel might go.

A Sign Which Conquered.

A Wayne county farmer who is much an
noyed by tramps, came to Detroit while ago
and had dozen signs of "Smallpox-Be-
ware painted to post up on his house and
grounds Although he had one on either
side of his gate, they had not been up two
hours when rover passed between them and
knocked on the door and asked for food.
Don't you see those signs on the gate?"
demanded the farmer.
"Yes'r but | can't read"
The next one said he was near sighted and
thought the signs read "for sale" The third
had had smallpox and was willing to nurse
the family. The fourth had been vaccinated
and was reckless. The fifth had remedy
to sell. and the sixth after getting away with
cold bite turned to his benefactor and said:
"If you want to beat the boys knock down
them signs and put up one reading "Help
wanted" 1t never fails to keep EN- jogging
straight along"
The farmer followed the advice, and he
hasn't had call since.

A Touching Incident.

A child's soul in the act of grand endur.
ance passing out at the pressure of his moth
er's kiss is nobler subject than the last scene
of "Undine and Sintram" Says Western
exchange:
A ten.year.old boy whose legs were re-
Gently cut off by train of cars at Dubuque,
Iowa, was too plucky to make any fuss over
the incident When the little fellow was
taken home his legs hung limp, but he did
not complain.
Not tear stood in his eyes, but the tender
look he gave to those who stood by his side
told plainly that he was suffering great agony.
After the doctor had dressed his wounds, he
called his parents, sisters and brothers to his
bedside, kissed one and all, and left tear
upon their cheeks.
A second time he called his mother to his
side, placed his arms about her neck, and
said
Mother, am going to die in a few min
utes Please forgive me for not Winding
you"
With this the little fellow fell back, and as
the mother said "Yes, my darling" and took
another look at his face, she found him beyond
all pain.

CLEANING BRAss.-The method prescribed
for cleaning brass, and in use at all the
United States arsenals, is claimed to be the
best in the world. The plan is to make
mixture of one part common nitric acid and
one-half part sulphuric acid in stone jar,
having also ready pail of fresh water and q
box of sawdust The articles to be treated
are dipped into the acid, then removed into
water, and finally rubbed with the sawdust.
This Immediately changes them to brilliant

and soda in warm water; this cuts the grease,
so that the acid has free power to act

HE HEsBARD INDICTMENTS.

The last entry in the criminal record in
the United States District Court at San
Francisco, in the case of Henry A. Heb
bard, is dated February 24th of this year.
Hebbard was arrested and indicted over
year ago for the embezzlement of So, 500
while deputy in the Internal Revenue
Office under Collector Highly. Four in
dictments were presented against him,
covering the crime under the various sec.
tions of the United States laws. At first
plea of guilty was entered, but subse-
quently, and after considerable delay, the
plea was withdrawn and demurrer was
filed to the indictments. 1t was sustained,
but the District Attorney bridged over the
difficulty in the mean while by filing new
indictments, conforming with the de-
cision on the demurrer. Nothing was
heard of the case again for long
time until the announcement was made
that negotiations were pending with the
authorizes at Washington for a full CON-
promise OF the defalcations, to the end
that nolle prosequi might be entered.
The information obtained at that time
turns out to be true, and furnishes ready
explanation for the dllatoriness exhibited
in the case from the very start. The entry
of February oath testifies to the discharge
and exoneration of Charles r. Bowen, Z.
j. Blanding, John Best, r. H. Haskell
and Mrs. Isabella Best from all liability on
the bond OF Hebbard. 1t now also trans
pires that the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue at Washington has notified the
District Attorneys office to dismiss all the
indictments against Hebbard, as he has
made good his defalcations by returning
the money to the Government. The in
dictments have not been dismissed yet, nor
will they for the present. Inasmuch as
the sureties have been exonerated, the case
is practically ended.

THE SAILORS RIGHTS AND WRONGS.

The San Francisco E.ramine' is perform
ing public service of Importance in dis
closing the many abuses practiced upon
the sailors in that port. 1t has already
been instrumental in several cases in res
cuing seamen from the clutches of the
thieves and rufians who prey upon them,
and it appears to have stirred up Congress-
man Rosecrans to introduce bill of some
kind looking to their better protection. 1t
is somewhat singular, however, that, if our
contemporary statements are trustworthy,
the United States Shipping Commissioner
appears to have little or no sympathy for
the men whom he is supposed TO watch
over, and that he looks upon them as a
hopelessly stupid class, who are constantly
getting into trouble, and who ought to be
left in it as a punishment for their obtuse.
ness. Such a theory is far too convenient
for the thieves, who live by robbing the
sailors, to sit well upon an official whose
special feature it is to protect them, and
we conclude from the Ecaminers state
ments that the Shipping Commissioners
Office at San Francisco would bear inves-
tipation.
