The Osceola times., 1883-01-06

Near Coolidge, Kansas, Mr.. Harrison, a
young Englishman, has established a
large estate at an expense of many thous-
and dollars. A visiting correspondent
recently found a charming guest on the
place in the person of Captain Sherborne
of the British army, who, after valiant
services in the Afghanistan campaign,
is passing several years in travel.
Captain Sherborne was wounded in a
most singular way in Afghanistan. After
battle he found an Afghan lying on the
field, with both legs shot away. lie rails
ed him in his arms to carry him to an
ambulance. But the man suddenly
wrenched himself away, and, standing
erect on his bleeding stumps, he seized
one Of his own severed legs, which was
lying beside him, and struck at Captain
Sherborne with furious rage, making a
terrible cash down his chest, with the
jagged bone. He then dropped back
dead, and Captain Sherborne fell fainting
by his side.
Sherborne says it was the most thrill
ing moment of his life.

The lien were wandering among the

the sun was invisible; and, worse than

containing some kind of brown meat.
They eagerly crowded around the sled.
They had found food at last. They lifted
the fur covering, when at full length up
on the sled was seen stretched the naked
corpse of an Esquimaux.

SNUFF AND HAY FEVER.

In letter on hay fever two facts are
mentioned, namely, that those who are
afflicted with hay fever are so owing to
the tenderness of the internal lining of
the nose," and that Gin Scotland hay
fever is practically unknown" By con-
Meeting these facts probable remedy is
suggested, namely, the use of snuff.
That this habit destroys the tenderness
Of the internal lining Of the nose is evil
dent from the insensiqility of the snuff
taker to doses that furiously irritate the
nostrils that have been differently edu-
Gated. AS Scotchmen generally are
either snuff takers themselves or descend
ed from snuff takers, a direct or heredit-
airy insensibility may explain their i'm
munity from this 4ffiiction. Not being
one of its victims I am unable to try the
experiment, which should be started
few weeks before the season commences.

Il JUDGES CHARGE, WITH VARLA-
TONS,

The following comes from Georgia,
and its accuracy is vouched for by the
stcnoa!apher who took it down:
Judge - was noted for the way he
got mixed in his charges to the jury.
On one occasion q case was tried before
him, the points Of which may be briefly
stat / thus Smith brought suit against
Jones upon promissory note given for
& horse. Jones defense was failure of
consideration, he averring that at the
timA Of the purchase the horse had the
CHAMBERS, Of which he died, and that
Smt knew it. Smith replied that the
horse did not have the CHAMBERS but the
distemper, and that Jones knew it when
he bought
The Judge charged the jury: "Gen-
tlemen OF the jury, pay attention to the
charge of the court. You have already
made one mis-trial OF this case because
you did not pay attention to the charge
OF the court, and don't want you to do
it again. intend to make it so clear to
you this time that you cannot possibly
make any mistake. This suit is upon a
note given for promissory horse. I
hope you understand that. Now, if you
find that at the time of the sale Smith
had the CHAMBERS, and Jones knew it,
jones cannot recover. That is clear,
gentlemen. will state it again. If you
find that at the time of the sale Jones
had IN distemper, and Smith knew it,
then Smith cannot possibly recover.
But, gentlemen, I will state it third
time, SO that you cannot possibly make
q mistake Il at the time of the sale
Smi h had the CHAMBERS, and Jones had
the distemper, and the horse knew it,
then neither Smith, Jones nor the horse
can recover. Let the record be given
to the jury. "-Harper's Magazine.

SOME THINGS L HAVE NOTICED.

I have noticed that when a horse gets
up he gets up forward first and jerks his
hind parts after him, while a COW will
get her rear half up all right and draw
her forward half up in place also, when
drinking, horse will draw in water
rapidly with every breath the COW, on
the contrary, will suck in one continu-
GUS draught as long as she can hold her
breath.
I have noticed that sheep and goats
are both buffers, yet sheep has to run
few steps backward before he can butt,
while the goat has to raise himself on
his hind legs to execute the same move
ment. One is called a buck sheep, the
other a battering ram. They are the
only two animals I know of whose butt
ends are in front.
A squirrel can run down q tree head
first. The cat and the bear must get
down tail first Gf left to themselves).
If your dog finds his way into your
cellar and sees nice steak he will steal
it and run out, but if your cat gets in
and finds steak, she will sit right down
by it and eat what she wants (if not
surprised before).
[ have noticed that a leather strap
buckled about the height of yourself
around young tree in a few years will
be away beyond your reach, but if
nailed at the same distance will never
get any higher (only the outer shell
runs up).
Although turkeys are much more swift
Of foot than geese, yet in a weeks drive
a flock of geese will come in ahead; for
geese you can drive at night, especially
moonlight, but when evening approaches
turkeys will roost.
A man can stand on one foot in the
middle Of room and pull on his shoe,
while woman must lean up against
something to accomplish the same thing.
A man holds the needle in his left
hand to thread it, but a woman holds it
in her right.
In enc thing I think every one will
agree with me Dress a man as a woman
dresses and you will freeze him to death.

bags the only safe ones for his purpose.
Sometimes the bags found Transports
ton on the back of an old, broken-down
horse, but most often on his own sturdy
shoulders.
He was man of vigorous muscle,
and great endurance, or he could not
have stood the long, weary journeys
through the lonely and trackless wilder
ness for SO many years, journeys in
which he was loaded like mule ascend
ing the Andes.
He always planted his seeds in some
remote, picturesque spot, and there let
them grow to be claimed by the settlers,
whose homes sprang up in the isolated
clearings. In this way the wilderness
was made to blossom like rose.
When the trees were large enough for
sale, Johnny either sold them or left
them to be sold by some settler for him.
In this business he was as methodical
as merchant.
The really poor got trees for nothing,
of others more able he took old cloth
ing, some meal or anything he could
use in exchange. OF those able to pay
he demanded money, which he was
seldom without.
He usually took notes payable at
some indefinite period. This done, he
paid no more attention to the matter
quite often it was the last time he ever
saw the giver of the note.
His wants were few, and he cared
little about money. He used what
money he got in buying religious books,
which he gave to the settlers where he
stayed, and he very often helped poor
families in need of the necessaries OF
life

LE4RN YOUR BUSINESS.

A young man in leather store used
to feel very impatient with his employer
for keeping him year after year for three
years handling hides. But he saw the
use of it years after when, in an estab-
lishment of his own, he was able to tell
by the touch the exact quality of the
goods. 1t was only by the thousands of
repetitions that the lesson was learned :;
and SO it is with everything in which we
acquire skill.
The half-informed, half-skilled in
every business outnumber the others,
dozens to one. Daniel Webster once
replied to young man who asked him
if there was "any room in the legal pro-
fession p "There is always room at the
top" The better you know your bust
ness the better your chance to rise. You
can gather much information by making
a wise use OF your eyes AID ears, and
perhaps be able to surprise yopr EN-
ployer in an emergency by stepping

ing his duties satisfactorily. So learn

Physically Fine. but Vile Morally.

The Afghans are Mohammedans of the
faith Sunni they reverence the first four
Khalifs, and have no particular venera-
alton for the prophet (Khalif) Ali. They
are split up into tribes, clans and fami-
lies, each under It's own head, com
mander, or Sirdar; and they are often
at war or feud, and often engaged in
conspiracies, rebellions and assassina-
tons. They are tall, burly, active men,
with olive complexions,, dark Jewish
features, black eyes and long black hair
hanging down in curls. Their coun-
tenances are calm, and they affect a
frankness end bonhomie they will
sometimes indulge III rude popularity !;
but their expression is savage, and evil
passions are often raging in their hearts
like hidden fires. They are bloodthirsty,
deceitful and depraved, ready to sell
their country, their honor, and their
very souls for lucre. They care for moth
ing but fighting and loot, delighting in
the din OF arms, the turmoil of battle,
and the plumber of the killed and
wounded I; without any relish for home
life or domestic ties without q sting of
remorse OF a sense Of shame. There are
nopeeple on earth having finer physique
or viler morals. They are the relics
of a nation who have played out their
parts in history. In bygone ages they
conquered Hindoostan ON the one side
and Persia on the other; but the con-
quering instinct has died away amid the
incessant discord of family feuds and
domestic broils.- Wheeler'8 "ShOrt

On Detroit street car woman of 30,

ROCH4MBE4U and CORVALLIS.

The following is a brief account of
what became of two of the heroes of
Yorktown. When Rochambeau returned
to France he was made Governor eff Pr
cardy, and, in 1888, was elected to the
Second Assembly of Notables. In 1871
he was made Marshal of France, and
commanded the Army of the North
from March till June of the following
year. During the troubles of '93 he
was imprisoned, but escaped the guillo-
tine, and lived to be made a Grand
Officer of the Legion of Honor by Ma
poleon. He died, in 1907, at the age
of 80.
CORVALLIS lost little, if any, of his
reputation in England by the surrender
OF Yorktown, which the English persist
III calling York Town. In 1776, he sue
ceeded the celebrated Warren Hastings
as Governor-General of Bengal, and
broke The power Of Tippoo Saib. Dur
ing the Irish rebellion of 1889 he went
to ireland as Lord-Ldeutenant. and re-
manned there until the union was con.
Guided. In 1903 he was again made
Governor General Of Bengal, Lut only

Or the Old Norsemen's ships?
In converse with the wondrous tide,
Whose murmurs never sleep,
What whispers haunt thy rest beside
The threshold of the deep?
But as single star might be
Where space begins her reign,
Or time beside eternity,
Art thou beside the main.
Mans record shrinks before thy past,
o world within a world
Atom by fiery waves upcast,
Or icy torrents hurled.
More eloquent than tongue or pen
Beside thy story's worth,
What are the feeble words of men,
The written books of earth?
And yet hold thee in my sand,
Thou key that should unlock,
The awful door of secret grand
Whereat 1 vainly knock.

"JOHNNY APPLESEED."

Apples form an important part Of
Ohio's annual products. The beginning
of the States immense growth of apple
trees was made as early as 1901, by
Jonathan Chapman, who, if he had lived
in these days, would have been called
"a crank" He was possessed by a
mania for planting apple-seeds, whence
arose the name by which he was COM
monty known, Johnny Appleseed."
The Grange Eisitor thus describes
the man and his mission:
In 1901 he visited Ohio with horse
load of apple-seed which he had
gathered from the cider-presses of
Western Pennsylvania. He planted his
seeds on the fertile spots, on the banks
of the Licking creek.
In 1906 he was seen by a settler drift
ing down the Ohio river in two canoes
dashed together, and loaded with apple
seeds, destined for the western border
of the white settlement.
He often planted as much as bushel
of seed in one locality, then inclosed
the spot with slight fence, or guard OF
brush, when he would leave the place
till the trees had in measure grown.
Planting one stock Of seeds, he re-
turned to Pennsylvania for another,
which he gathered from the cider
presses in different places.
He first carried the seeds in linen
bags, but the dense underbrush, hostile
with thorns and briers, made leathern
