When the Federal army and the army
of suffers which followed it first struck
the black districts of the South the
negroes of those districts first made the
acquaintance of Federal paper money.
Many of them were employed N the
Quartermaster's or the Commissary's
Department, and at the end of the
month were paid $40 or S30-extrav-
agant wages to men. who had never
had wages before, and who would have
been perfectly willing to serve Lin
Gums sogers" for rations and clothes.
They were paid in paper money. For
the first SIX weeks or SO in every district
the suffers fourished like green BAY
trees. The negroes couldn't tell So
bill from a 81 bill or tifty-eent note
from a quarter. They bought from the
suffers for the sake of buying; he gave
them what they asked for, or what
looked like it, and some change, and

customed to have before thew went TO

Blasting Goal With Lime !.

| A few days ago successful attempt
| at blasting coal with lime was made in
a Hazleton mine, and was witnessed by
a number of prominent coal operators,
who were well pleased with the result.
| The use of this new mining agent, it is
claimed viii avoid many of the dangers
| arising from the use of gunpowder. and
in addition will purify the air in the
mine, The mode of operation is to en-
ploy nearly pure carbonate of lime,
| which, after being carefully calcined, is
ground to a fine powder. This is con-
Quoted to a hydraulic press having a
die two inches and half in diameter
and seven inches deep. A pressure of
forty tons is applied simultaneously 20
both ends of the columns of ground
lime. which reduces it from seven inch
es to four and a quarter, thus nearly
doubling its density. The cartridge,
after having a small groove cut along
its sides, is then ready for use. They
are then inserted into the hole drilled
into the coal, where they are slightly
tamped. Water is then introduced with
force pump, and the steam generated
by the action of the water on the lime
causes an expansion which cracks away
the coal. The claim set up for this ma
terial over gunpowder is economy and
time when using it. safety where dan
gerous gases gather, pure air IN the
mine, and getting the coal out without
blowing it to pieces as is done with
powder 1t has been tried with salts

England, Wales and Belgium, and is

Hard Lines.

Some months ago Queen Margherita
of Italy, asked little girl to knit her q
pair of silk stockings as birthday gift,
and gave her twenty lire to buy the ma
terial. The Queen forgot the circum-
stance till her birthday came, when she
was reminded of it by the arrival of a
pair of well-knit silk stockings and
makers best wishes. Not to be out
done, Queen Margherita sent pair to
her young friend as return gift, one
stocking being full of lira-pieces and
the other of bonbons. They were ac-
companied by note: Tell me, my
dear, which you liked best?" A reply
reached the palace next day: '.Dear-
est queen: Both the stockings have
made me shed many bitter tears. Papa
took the one with the money, and my
brother the other. '-Lo11Clon Truth.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1888.
After Tyenty Years,

The coffin was plain one-a poor
miserable pine coffin. One flower on
the top: no lining OF white satin for the
pale brow; no smooth ribbons about the
coarse shrond. The brown hair was
laid decently back, but there was no
primped cap with the tie beneath the
chin. The sufferer of cruel poverty
smiled in her sleep; she had found
bread, rest and health.
II want to see my mother" sobbed a
poor little child, as the undertaken
screwed down the top.
You cannot; get out of my way,
boy; why does not someone take the
Drat?n
''Onlv let me see one minute!" cried
the orphan, clutching the side of the
charity box, as he gazed upon the coffin,
agoniZed tears streaming down the
cheeks on which the childish bloom
ever fingered. Oh! it was painful to
hear him cry the words: ''Only once;
let me see my mother, only once"
Quickly and brutally the heartless
monster struck the boy away, so that
he reeled with the blow. For moment
the boy stood painting with grief and
rage-his blue eyes distended, his lips
sprang apart, fire glistened through his
eyes as he raised his little arm with
most unchildish laugh, and screamed:
when I'm = 1uan FL De revenged
for thatr'
There was coffin and heap of earth
between the mother and the poor for
saken child-a monument much strong
er than granite, built in the boys heart,
the memory OF the heartless deed.
The court house was crowded to suf-
location.
docs any one appear as this mans
counsel?" asked the Judge.
There was a silence when he had fin
ished, until, with lips lightly pressed to-
gether, LOOK of strange intelligence,
blended with naughty reserve on his
handsome features, a young man step
ped forward with a firm tread and
kindly eye to plead for the friendless
one. He was q stranger, but at the
first sentence there was a silence. The
splendor of his genius entranced-con-

was acquitted.
May God bless you, sir; l cannot!"
he exclaimed.
Il want no thanks" replied the
stranger.
"I-I--I-believe you are unknown
to me-"
Sir. I will refresh your memory.
Twenty years ago this day you struck a
broken-hearted little boy away from his
mothers coffin. | was that boy"
The man turned pale.
Have you rescued me then to take
my lifeP"
'No; | have sweeter revenge. l
have saved the life of a man whose
brutal conduct has ranked in my breast
for the last twenty years. Go, then,
and remember the tears of friendless
child"
The man bowed his head in shame,
and went from the presence of magma
nimity-as grand to him as it was in

He Saved Them.

He was a young man with forty
dollar suit of clothes on, and he had
made arrangements to take his girl and
her mother down to Put-in-Bay. He
| left them on the boat while he ran up
| town to get some cigars, and scarcely
had he disappeared when a man with a
Ratchet fs.ce and a goatee approached
the ladies and inquired of the mother:
''Going down to the Bay?"
| Eyes, sir.
Never seasick in gale, eh?'
"Gale! Is it going to blowP" she
asked in alarm.
Flag is up, and that means wind,
you knowo Madam, the-the young
man who just left here is-you know
that is, he loves your charming daugh-
ter"
He waits upon her, SIR
'Ah! exactly If YOU want him for a
son-in-law don't you go on this tripH'
"Sirr'
I'm telling you honest, madam.
Your daughter will be sea-sick first.
She will call for lemon, and some
wine, and some pickles. and she will
sigh and groan, and her hair will come
down, and her bows skew around, and
in half an hour you won't know her.
She'll be a faded fower-a crushed
blossom. The young man won't know
whether it is his darling or bundle of
rumpled muslin
Dear me! but I'm alarmedr'
land then you'll begin TO hate the
thought of fried pork and baked pota-
toes and rib roasts, and ten minutes
later you'll thump down on a sofa and
clutch and cling and groan and la
ment."
but George will be kind to u.s.
MADAM, George will have plenty of
business on hand. Chaps with his set
ears and full face are apt to be very
| sick. Before he can get a lemon for
| Melvina and pickle for you he'll flop
down and call himself names and Won
der how he was ever struck on Melvina
or why he ever wanted you for q moth
er-in-law. He'll heave up and he'll
| heave down, and he'll wish you and
Melvina in Halifax and himself in Mex
leo, and the upshot will be no wedding
| mo cards-no cottage with n clematis
| trailing over the front door. Madam, /
am stranger to you, but | warn you
from heart filled with the milk of hui
man kindness. The only woman lever
| loved went with me on sea-siek ex-
cursion. My love was turned to gall,
and gave her the shake"
He then left. In three minutes moth
er and daughter were on the wharf. In
three mere they were two blocks away,
and as they met George and turned him
back his countenance had the color of
boiler iron and his voice betrayed q
cruel determination as he said:

find and lick that man if he weighs fif-

Worse Than Sheep,

A party OF fashionable young ladies
and gentlemen went picnicing. They
came across a gawky-looking young
fellow tending flock of sheep. A Miss
Impertinence, the most forward CO.
quette of the party, approached the
shepherd and asked him if he had .
wife. NO" he replied. "All right,
then Til marry you" NO" was the
rough shepherds answer again. One
of the young dudes then addressed the
shepherd seriously and told him that il
ne married the young lady he would re-
ceive handsome sum of money, would
have everything good to eat and drink
every day, and would not need to tend
sheep any more. The young shepherd,
however. laughed softly, and said
That may all be, but it don't take
with me. !" But tell me why you don 7
want to marry?" gueried the yexed co
quette; ''there must be reason,n 20

was any advantage in wetting the en-

said: You notice that | moisten the
