In making the rounds Of our city
last Friday noon we accidentally
stumbled upon a picnic in a high
state OF prosperity in Brubacher's
Grove in the west end OF town.
The party consisted of seven of our
prettiest aud most amiable Httl.
girls and one bog: Anna Brubacl,er,
Belle Fauss. Jennie Fisk, Julia Free
man, Jennie Blair, Mabel Bennett
and Bunnie Brubacher and Otto
Brubacher. When we discovered
them they were seated around their
table spread npon the ground aud
supplied with every imaginable del
icacy of which we secured an album
dant share. They probably hadn't
enough for sever hearty ronping
girls; but we are sure they had
enough for a dozen hard working
harvest hands.

PROMOTED BY LINCOLN.
The Way Sergeant Cover Would Treat At
lacking Cavalry.
pLfludeiDI.,a Press.

Philadelphia Press.
A Sergeant of infantry, whom / shall call
Dick Cover, commanded his company In
many battles in the West In the early days
of the war. His company officers had all
been killed, but right loyalty did Dick
handle his men. His discipline was perfect;
his bravery not only made him hero among
his men, but excited the attention Of all the
officers. At the first lull In the campaign the
officers OF his regiment, OF his brigade and oil
his division united In recommending him
for lieutenancy In the regular army. The
commanding officer joined in the recommend
alton. Mr.. Lincoln ordered the appoint-s
meut. Forthwith Sergeant Dick was ordered
before All examining bard In Washington,
for the regular army officers were tenacious
of what they thought their superiority. Dick
presented himself in soiled and faded Ser
geant's uniform, his face and hands bronzed
and cracked by the winds and suns Of hot
campaign.
The curled darlings Of Washington socie-
ty, the perfumed graduates of West Point,
field, conducted the examination to ascer-
tain If Dick was fit 10 become all officer In
the regular army. They asked him ques-
tions as TO engineering, ma'lrnt les, phllos-
ophy, and ordnance, Of harbrr ~arfare, Of
field campaigns, a'rd su'h stHii. Not sin
gle question could Dick answer.
"What is au ecE"Iom? >" vas ask"I.
81 don't know answered Duck: u lever
saw one
"What is an abattis?" was III" rext ques-
ton.
"You've cot me again. We haven't got
'em in the West"
"Well, what is hollow square," contin-
ued his tormentors.
"Don't know" said Dick sorrowfully; al
never heard OF one"
"Well," finally said young snip in eye
glasses, "what would you do in command
of company If the cavalry should charge OIL
you?"
They had at last got down TO Dicks COM
prehension, and he answered with reso-
lutte face and flashing eye:
"I'd give 'em -; that's what I'd do,
and I'd make q hollow square In every
mothers son of them"
A few more technical questions were
asked, but poor Dick was not able to answer
them, and the examination closed. The re-
port was sent to the Secretary of War, who
submitted 1t to Mr.. Lincoln, saying that evi
IDENTIFY Dick would not do for all officer. Mr..
Lincoln went through the report, and found
that Dick had not answered a single ques-
ton, but he came 10 where Dick said what
he would do If attacked by cavalry, and then
| he did what sensible Abe Lincoln did In all
such matters; he threw the report on the Ia
BILE, and made little memorandum In PEN
ell ordering the Secretary of War to appoin'
| Dick Cover Lieutenant in the regular
army. Dick achieved distinction, and was
everywhere known III :he army as Il mai
without fear, who never made mistake.

floor, get q gallon can Of paint Of
light drab color. Ii will cost two dollars
and fifty cents, and will give two coats to a
large kitchen floor. And the paint will last
six years. To put It on, finish up the work
early, and put on the first coat as soon as
possible. Keep fire on all night, and the
paint will be nearly dry in the morning, but
have few boards laid down-not on the

end and the middle, to walk upon until the
paint is quite dry. Then put on the second
coat, and third, If there Is enough of 1t, If
not, put what there Is where the most wear

with chrome yellow to q desired shade.
