Why He Wanted TO Know
Detroit Free Press.

At the second battle of Bull Run a
recruit who had just joined New
York regiment, turned around upon
his Captain rs an order was given, and
asked
Say, Cap. what are we going to do
now?'
Move by the flank to the left of the
regiment" was the reply.
"All right-just as soon move as
not"
After the company had held its new
position for a quarter of an hour there
came another order, and the recruit
asked
Say, Cap. which way now? -
Going to advance"
"All right, l'm with YOU"
The company moved forward with
the line, and was pres ntly holly en-
gagged with Jackson's men. They had
not been at over five minutes when the
recruit slid up to the captain and
shouted
Say, Cap, boiler IS loud as you can
and let's sec if | can hear YOU.
"What in - do Won mean? Back
INTO line with your shouted the of
ticer.
"All right. Cap. all rightl The yea

A Child Swallows a Hat-Pin
From the Oswego Palladium.

About two weeks ago daughter of
Mr.. William Hindbough, aged about
20 menths, fell from a chair backward,
and in her struggles on the floor swal-
lowed something which she had in her
mouth, and which was supposed to be
a hair-pin, from the Information that
could be obtained The child has been
in precarious condition ever since,
suffering excruciating pain. The con
ditions became SO serious that DR..
Eddy, the attending physician, decided
that an operation was necessary if the
child's life was to be saved at all, and
with the assistance of DR.. Clark per
formed the same. To the astonishmest
of the operating physicians, the foreign
substance was found to be not a hair
pin, but a steel hat-pin, a little over five
inches long, and having large jet
head, and which was found in the
stomach and very successfully remov-
ed. A slight protuserance appeared
on the left side, just above the lower
rib This was cut into and the point
of the. pin was revealed. There are
hopes for the recovery Of the child

KILLED BY SILENCE.
Married for Honey Hated for Ugli-
ness A Noble w Oman's Horrible
hnntL
Boston Herald.

Boston Herald.
ASSASSINATION by silence" is the
latest Gallicism. 1t was the verdict of
the medical men and of society in the
case of a French woman recently de-
ceased, and a Caroner's jury would
probably have rendered the same YER
dict if>the case had not been kept from
the Coroner. Noble by birth she was,
and very rich; but she was hopelessly
plain, ugly of feature, and hump back
ed. Her husband, a duke, married her
for her money and hated her for her
ugliness. A fortnight after her wedding
her martyrdom began, but not as other
conjugal martyrdoms have done. The
duke iaylshed attentions on her-in
public; he was Observation-Disclosures the
servants; it was darling and beloved"
and my little cat"-when any one was
present; but in private changed, and
only one old nurse was in the secret.
He pretended to be jealous of her, and
SO played the Othello. He had the
hinges OF all the door SO carefully oiled
that they could be opened without a
ereaS, the domestics were trained to
move about nolselessly, snares were
set IN the vast garden of their hotel so
that never the chlrp of sparrow was
heard. The poor woman was forced to
live IN the midst of silence, and when
they went together into society he
scowled so fearfully at every one who
approached his wife to speak to her
that little by little people ceased to
make the effort. And then, after they
had returned and she had gone to bed,
hc would enter with list shoes on his
feet, so as not to announce his coming,
and would simulate q scene of jealousy.
That is to say, he would pace up and
down like one in fury who is about
to burst into reproaches; words Of anger
would seem on the point of issuing
from his mouth; then he would stop by
the bedside and raise his hand in threats,
but he never struck, he never spoke,
and resuming his walk would go through
the same scene over and over again
until, overcome by fatigue and horror,
the duchess, swooned. Every night for
ten years his victim watched for men,
aces which he seemed about to proffer,
but to which he never gave vent. The
doctors were summoned at last, but
the utmest they could say was that
they were in the presence of some
horrible mystery, which could not be
fathomed without killing the husband.
And when the poor woman died and
the old nurse told her story they rem
dered the verdict above recorded

A Cross Eyed Bear.

Sometimes children make remarks
about things they see and hear in
church, that will make the oldest in
habitant laugh, though the aforesaid
inhahitant may not have laughed be-
fore in years. \ little girl in Chicago
went home from church last Sunday
and asked her mother if she ever saw
a "cross- eyed bear" The mother said
she had never, to her knowledge, seen
such an animal Then the child asked
If there would be any cross eyed bear
in the circus, and the mother said there
probably might not be any, ana asked
what put the idea into her head. The
girl said the minister gave out the no.
tees of the prayer meetings, and soci-
sbles, and picnic, and then took up a
song book and read, "A consecrated
cross Id BEAR" and she thought may
be he was going to read a notice about
the circus on the lake front, but the
crowd commenced singing and she
couldn't hear what he did say about
the circus. The mother Rugged the
little dazzling, and then tried to explain
about the 'cross I'd bear" but it was
not a success.

Horse Sense
~ ..

The three horses connected with En-
CINE Company No, II, Boston High
lands, are handsome animals, and are
noted for their remarkable intelligence
as for their fine appearance. Under the
care of the members the horses have
become very tractable, and are obedi-
ent to the slightest word Or gesture A
few mornings ago some evidences OF
their understanding was witnessed, and
are well worth detailing. One horse,
Charley" had received no food since
the night previous, and when he was
given his morning supply of oats, ne
began eating with great zest, but the
words, Charley, come hear" spoken
in a low tone from the rear of the stable
caused him in family to stop eaing his
tempting breakfast and to back from
his stall and walk to the person calling
him. Each of the horses did the same
thing without hesitatlng, and at the
command "go BACK" each trotted to
his stall. The harnesses wers remoy-
ed from the horses, and each one was
told in succession to 60 and put on his
collar. The collars were placed on end,
SO that the heads could go through, and
each horse walked deliberately across
the floor and wriggled his head into his
collar without the slightest aid. After
this they poked their heads into their
brides, which were held for them, each
horse opening his mouth and taking his
bit voluntarily. The main part OF the
harness can be hung in any part of the
room with the assurance that at the
W I'd of command the horses will walk
to the exact spot and place themselves
in such position that the harness can
be readily dropped into place The en-
deavors of the animals to secure posi-
ton favorable to the easy adjustment
of the collars almost compells one to
believe that they are endowed with
reason.
The eighty-second birthday Of Mr..
Henry Shaw, of 81. Louis, was recently
celebrated by the prominent citizens of
that city. Mr.. Shaw has been resi-
dent of 81. Louis for sixty-three years,
a period that may be said to embrace
the city's growth He had displayed
great hberaity toward the city, and
has established there the Missouri Bot
anical Gardens. Tower Grove Park, and
has given sites for charitable purposes.

and. with a few pieces of charcoal
dropped into the tube, maiatains the
water at boiling point with minimum
of evaporation and gives it at that
point on the table. And as beverage
the Russian does certainly surpass all
other nations in tea-maklng. We
drink it as ! stimulant, and take it
strong in the morning and too strong
at night, with milk and sugar as a gen.
eral thing; we finish and send the tea
things away; but to the Russian it's an
all-the- enjoyment. The SAM
ovar stands on the table and the tea
1.-THE delicious yellow variety generally
is put into the teapot, the boiling
| water run on, allowed to stand mo-
| ment, and then tea is served mild
| rather than weak, and more water
poured on at once-a little tea added
| from time to time if needed. / have
| often seen Russian friends drink
dozen or more cups IN an evening.
The quick making of the infusion is in
| accordance with Chinese custom, but
there the parallel ends. The addition
of sugar-to the Celestial a barbarism
is now opposed by some English
tea-drinkers, but the Overwhelming ma
lorlty of opinion Is in favor of its use.
1t seems to me as indispensable to the
development of the best appreciation
OF the tea, as salt is to that of beef
steak. The sugar is SO neutral as an
emolllent that it absolutely DISCUSSES
no quality of the tea, and | hold it to
be cardinal principle in gustatics that
where two fiavors can be so combined
as to sacrifice neither, an advance in
art is achieved And the same is true
of coffee-tne addition of sugar is
development of the beverage. But
milk does not come under the same
category. When people drink tea as
strong as most of us do at breakfast
the intense bitter is Modified by milk,
but weak tea is made insipid by it.
The Russians add slice of lemon,
the only addition after sugar which
does not deteriorate in the quality of
delicate tea; but he also takes little
rum, distinct departure from the
purist standard, due probably to his
general lmbibing propensity. Both
rum and cognac, having distinct
favors which disguise the quality of
the tea, are abuses unless the tea is
bad. A delicate yellow tea, with sugar
and lemon, is, I'VE judge, the perfcc
ton of tea drinking if made with the
samovar. A hint to economists on
long sleeping of tea (for boiling is
horrible barbarism never to be dream
ed of: The samovar is arranged SO as
to allow the teapot to stand in the
chimney, keeping the tea at point
just below the boiling indefinitely, and
when the tea is of an old crop the
flavor will be greatly and judiciously
developed by fifteen or twenty minutes
standing on the samovar top. A new
crop tea does not require this treat
ment.

Murder as a Cure for Small-P ox.
Georgia CitIzsn.

In the upper end of this country last
week a negro, whose name We failed to
learn, appeared with smallpox. When
it became known the citizens of that
section quarantined him in cabin
isolated from other houses, and warned
him to there remain until the disease
had subsidized, the patient then being IN
a state of convalescencc. But when
the negroes at work on the Red Gay
and Ooltewah connection, now In
progress of construction, learned that
case of smailpox was near by, several
lawless and heartless scoundrels, fear
ing a spread of the disease, armed
themselves a few nights ago and pro-
ceeded to the patients cabin, and as he
lay in bed shot hira through the
window, fred the house and literally
cremated the poor victim The
wretches then made their escape.
