An Officers Situation.

When the Michigan Cavalry Brigade
was sent West to wallop the Indians
after the close of the war, one of the
companies of the Sixth was commanded
by a. lieutenant who was hated by every
man in his command. He realized this
fact, and lost no opportunity to make it
warm for the boys. One evening when
the regiment went into camp on the
banks of the Platte. far beyond Omaha,
the lieutenant rugged up fish.line,
and slipped off down the stream to try
his luck. Rattlesnakes were plenty out
there then, and it was we'll known that
the officer had horror OF them. He
was fishing away, getting nibble now
then, when one of the boys stole for
ward to within ten feet of him, and
hoarsely whispered:
"For heavens sake, lieutenant, don't
move hand or foot There's big rat
tier in the grass behind you."
The officer was man of nerve, and,
though he heard every word, he made
no move. He realized the situation,
and, after moment, replied:
"Can't you kill it? ~
"No; he's too near you. I'll go
to camp for gun, and come up on the
flank"
The officer heard the man crawl
away, and he sat like statue. The
fish began to bite, but he dared not
move his arms. He saw the Gun 60
down, and the darkness saw him as
rigid as post. When he had been in
that situation for forty inmates he
could stand it no longer. Gathering
his breath and muscle. he made leap
into the water, and after wading and
swimming for thirty rods, he climbed
out and struck for camp. as wet as a
rat and loaded down with mud. The
story had gone around the camp, and
at least four hundred men were out to
greet him on his return, and question
him regarding the length of the reptile.
The officer took solemn vow to make
somebody sweat for that trick but he
fell by an Indians bullet before he had
secured his revenge.

their wealth. We have had numerous


examples in this country. Commodore
Vanderbilt is one and Jay Gould is
another. The latter was born May 9th,

Where there is no aspect between Mer-

ally he is very timid, and although he
conceals it we'll, yet is subject to great
nervous agitation. This was shown at
the time his son was supposed to have
been killed some years ago. For an
hour or two he was almost frantic.
These characteristics are ever found in
those persons who have Saturn afflicted
by the moon. Another bad position in
the horoscope is the square of Herschel
to the sun, which will cause secret and
powerful enemies and sudden financial
vicissitudes. The sun being afflicted
by Herchel, and the moon by Mars and
Saturn, and all three of the male6cs
being in parallel, the country will
doubtless be startled some day by the
news Of Mr.. Guuld's violent death.

GRANDMA'S PARTY

Grandma had party the other day
1t was the funniest thing I ever heard
of in all my life, which hasn't been very
long yet, seeing I'm just a slip of girl,
only turned 16, and Bob Andrews says
Bob says-oh, pshawl I'm not telling
about him, but about Grandma's party.
You see, she was SO years old that day.
Eighty-two-meroy me wonder what
I'll look like when I'm 80? My hair is
black as night and hers is whittier than
anything I ever saw. for there is sill
very gloss about it that I cannot de-
scribe, and she is so old and small and
yet every one says she has lovely face;
it is just as if all sorrow, and regret, and
disappointment, and care had been
taken out of it. It makes me cry some
times, it is so sad +; but then Bob An.
drews says I cry at anything As if he
knew.
And it's queer. isn't it? but Grand.
mas cheeks are red sometimes, or at
least they are pink, and it always re-
minds me of the sunset shining on
new snow, and when she looks out of
the window long time her eyes grow
large and look almost young. I was
telling that silly Bob Andrews about
them, and he said if I would look close
into them would see an angel. I did,
and all I saw was my own face, and l
kissed Grandma and told her something
I had read one day that made me think
of her;
"Her eyes are homes OF silent prayer"
For sometimes I think Grandma prays
much of the time. What else can such
old people doP
But about her party; there were eight
old ladies invited to it, and they were
all as old as Grandma, or very nearly
so, and they trembled when they walked,
and they stopped and had wrinkles and
were dressed-oh, dear, if you could

black silk gowns, with skimpy skirts
and white neckerchiefs, and work bags
and strings of gold beads, and watch
chains made of hair, and they wore

talked in such pathetic wheezy voices,
as they shook hands with Grandma, end
