One Freshman Who CLEANED Them Out. .
Lewiston (Me.) Journal

A little while since four bold, bad
Sophomores i'm d certain college in
this State went into the room of a
Freshman whom they judged to be
verdant. After the Sophomore
got into the room the Freshman
asked what they wished. "Oh,
we've come to put you through"
was the reply. The Freshman told
them they had better not attempt
anything, but they seOrnfully re-
fused to listen to advice from a
member of lower class, and made
rush for the youth whom they
took to be green. With blow he
laid one of the bold Sophs upon his
back. In the melee that followed
the light was overturned and eX-
tinguished, when the Freshman
grasped a chair and the SOphomores
were compelled to beat a hasty and
disastrous retreat. The next morn
ing the Freshman was called before
the President of the college, who
inquired the cause of the disturb
ance in his room the preceding eve
ming. The Freshman narrated the
circumstances of the case very mi
nutely, and the President listened
with the greatest attention. When
the Freshman had finished, the
President said: "And you cleaned
them out ?" EYES," was the answer.
81 congratulate your success" said
the President, as took the boys hand
and gave it hearty shake.

Miraculous Escape of a. N. Holland.


r. III. Holland, J. G. Evans and
Chas. B. Phipps, were in Evans
drug store while Campbell's store
was burning. The drug store was a
small frame building only one story
high and but for the falling of
Campbell's wall it could have been
saved. The four men named were
in the rear of the drug store when
the wall fell. Phipps escaped with
a few scratches. Evans narrowly
escaped being crushed and was bad
ly hurt but able to escape at the
side. Holland was crushed under
the debris and was rescued by the
heroic conduct of Jas. III. Winfree
and Wyatt Edmunds, COL, who
tore away the back part and rushed
i'm while the wall above was totter-
ing and expected to fall every min
ute. He was found lying under a
beam that had lodged one end
against the wall, and was alive and
calling for help. The brick and
burning wood was two feet thick
above his body, and by superhunan
efforts the beam was priced up and
Mr.. Holland pulled out, his head
being fortunately toward his res
cuers. He was dragged back out of
danger just as the remainder of the
tOttering wall fell into a mass of
fire and brick ten feet i'm thickness.
He was found cut about the head,
his hands burned into blisters, his
legs bruised and burned but no
bones broken, and no internal in
iuripS He is now ont of dancer
and will be out in few days. He
is the proprietor of the new Opera
House and one Of the wealthiest
and most popular and public spirit
ed young men in the city, and
when he was saved a shout went up
that was shout of joy, even amidst
the ruin and devastation on every
hand.

To bring health and happiness to
the homes of suffering women is a
mission before which royal favor sinks
into insignifcance. What earthly
benefactiOn can compare with one
which protects from
THAT dire disease whose ruthless power
Withers beauty's transient flower?"
which gives ease for pain, joy for sor-
row, smiles for tears, the roses of health
for the pallor of disease, the light, elias
tic step for dragging WEAKNESS, nights
of soft repose for heavy hours of toss
ing restlessness, bounding vigor for
languishing dulness, the swelling lines
of full grown beauty for the sharp and
withered form of emaciation, a long
life of mental, physical, social and
domestic enjoyments for a few sad
DAYS of pain and gloom, ending in an
early grave? Such is the mission,
such are the results of DIR. ). Brad

When the GeneraLs 60 ON.

Special to the Cincinnati CONNER,
cial: Now that Gems. Pope and
Mackenzie have been awarded the
coveted Major and Brigadier Gen.
eralships, those who were left Oui
in the cold are busy figuring upon
their chances for promotion when
the next vacancy occurs in the list
of General officers. In the natural
course of events the eleven General
officers will retire from active ser.
vice as follows:
Gen. Sherman, February s, 1884.
Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan, June, 1894
Mai. Gen. Hancock, March, 1888.
Maj. Gen. Schotield, November,
1895.
Maj. Gen. Pope, July, 1886.
Brig. Gen. Howard, June, 1895.
Brig. Gen. Terry, 1892.
Brig. Gen. Angur, August, 1885.
Brig. Gen. Crook, July, 1893.
Brig. Gen. Miles, July, 1895.
Brig. Gen. Mackenzie, August,
1894.
The above statement will prove
interesting to the army, as the re-
cords of the ages of officers are
guarded AS sacredly at the War De-
partment as If they We're jewels. 1t
will be seen that Br igadier General
Augur, commanding the Depart
meut of the South, will be the first
to retire, and General Miles the last.
If the system of seniority prevails,
General Miles will assume com
mand of the army within the next
twelve years aud remain at its head
for at least ten years. .rl

LIE that Takes the Pastry.

Here is the biggest non-political
lie we have met with since the war.
1t is copied from the Denver Tri-
bune:
Bill Nuckells, a prospector, fell
down a prospect shaft forty feet
deep, right into a nest of black
snakes. Most men would have
died of fright, but Nuckells was not
that sort of a man. He tied thesev-
eral snakes together and started
them up the side of the shaft, tying
on Il fresh snake as fast as the rest
ran up. Pretty soon the head of the
snakes got over the edge and Started
down hill. Nuckells kepttying on
fresh reptiles until he had used up a
couple of hundred-every. snake
there was i'm the shaft. BY this
time the crowd OF snakes on the
outside was strong enough t0pull
him out of the shaft, and he soon
reached MAIDS ranch safe and
sound.

EArHER.s GRowlNc OLD. JOHN.


Our fathers growing old, John,
Ills eyes are growing dim,
And wears are on his shoulders laid,
A heavy load for him;
And you and are young and hale,
And each a stalwart man,
And we must make his load ms light
And as easy rs we can.
He used to take the brunt, John,
At the cradle and the pillow,
And earned the porridge by the sweat
That trickled down his brow.
Yet never heard we him complain,
Whate'er his toll might be,
Nor wanted e'er weicome seat
Upon his solid knee.
And when our boy strength came, John,
And sturdy grew each limb,
He brought us TO the yellow field,
To share the toll with him;
But he went foremost in the swath,
Tossing aside the grain,
Just like the pillow that heaves the soil,
Or ships that cleave the main.
Now we must lead the van. John
Through weather foul and fair,
And let the old man read and dOze
And tilt his easy chair;
And he'll not mind IL, John, you KNOW
At eve to tell us DER
Those brave old days of British times
Our grandsires and the war.
Il
Ills gospel what you say,
That caring for the like of us
Has turned her hair to gray.
Yet, John, 4 do remember well
When neighbors called her vain,
And when her hair was long and like
y cleaning sheaf OF grain.
Her lips were cherry-red John,
Her checks were rolnd and fair,
And like ripened peaSch they swelled
Against her wavy hair;
Her step fell lightly as the leaf
From off the summer tree,
And all day, busy at her wheel,
She sung to you and me.
She had a buxom arm, John,
That welded well the rod
Whenever with willful step our feet
The path forbidden trod.
But to the heaven Of her eye
We never looked IN vain
And evermore our yielding cry
Brought down her tearsiike rain.
Bat this was long ago, John,
And we are what we are;
And little heel we, day by day,
Her fading cheek and hair;
And when beneath her faithful breast
The tides no longer stir,
'Tis then, John, we the most shall feel
We had no friend like her.
Yes, fathers growing old, John,
His eyes are get ing dim,
And mothers treading softly down
The deep descent with him:
But you and are young and hale
And each q stalwart man.
And We must make their paths as smooth
And level as we can.
