FIGHTING UNDER ARREST.
a Fight while on the SikIrmish
Line. &


Capt Wheeler was born commander of
skirmishers. He had a voice like bugle-
blast, and an unusual amount of push and
dash in his composition. He knew all about
human nature on the slzirrnish line, its strong
points as well as its weaknesses, and seemed
guided by an unerring instinct in ordering
forward movements. He always aimed to
stampede the enemys skirmishers, and very
often succeeded. The men of the regiment
had the greatest confidence in him, and
obeyed him with alacrity, and so, somewhat
to the disgust of the other officers of the
regiment, he monopolized the skirmish bust
ness.
In other departments he was not so great
success He was INSCRIPTIONS and reckless,
anu was occasionally under arrest. He was
at once the pride and the aggravation of
Gen. Nelson. The old soldier generally called
him buccaneer, and had him under arrest
half the time for some of his s'devilish practi-
cal infringements" Capt Wheeler was under
arrest after Shiloh, and Nelson was con-
stantly complaining about the way his
slziIIcishe-s acted before Corinth. Nothing
was done to suit him, and he was on the line
every day Tuning and swearing and direct
ing. One day he insisted that the post should
be advanced. He didn't want any child's
play. The attempt was made, but resulted
simply in hstless skirmish fight. A man
slipped down line of fence, and was in con-

he passed along the line to the right There

MYSTERY OF NATURE.
Theodore Tilton.1

Theodore I1lCOn.
The works of God are fair for naught
Unless our eyes in seeing,
See hidden in the thing the thought
That animateS its being.
The outward form is not the whole,
But every part is nodded
10 image forth an inward soul
That dimly is unfolded.
The dew falls nightly not alone
Because the meadows need it,
But on an GRAND of its own,
To human souls who heed it.
The stars are lighted in the skies,
Not merely for the shining,
But, like the looks Of loving. eyes,
Have meanings worth divining.
The waves that mourn along the shore,
The winds that sigh in blowing,
Are sent to teach mystic lore,
Which men are wise in knowing.
The clouds around the mountain peaks,
The rivers in their winding,
Have secrets, which, to all who seek,
Are secrets worth the finding.
Thus nature dwells within our reach,
And, though we stand SO near her,
We still interprest half her speech,
With ears tc dull to hear her.
Whoever yearns to see Alright,
Because his heart is tender,
Shall catch glimpse of heavenly light
In every earthly splendor.
Whoever hears the coarsest sound
Still listening for the finest
Shall hear the noisy world go round
To music the divinest.
So, since the universe began,
And till it shall be ended,
The soul ofnature and the soul Of man,
And the soul of God are blended.

Tailors as Dressmakcrs.

I" Ruhamah" in Globe-Democrat
The introduction of regular tailors into the
great dressmaking establishments promises
well for the futuy g, even if these severely
plain suits should go out of style. Their bust
ness methods, their precision, accuracy and
careful finish of every detail, are in contrast
to the slipshod, haphazard ways of the
ordinary dressmakers. These tailors might
even be said to have conscience in the mat
ter, so exact and painstaking are they about
their work. At the largest houses the tailors
will not promise a suit in less than thirty
days. and after four fittings they turn out a
suit without wrinkle or flaw in any part
Any clear day upper Broadway is alive
with these cloth suits, and nine out of every
ten tailor suits are of the darkest brown
broadcloth or tricot, gray following next in
favor, and blue or green being last choice
The fashionable woman is as compactly but
toned and braided as one of Henry James
heroines, and the wearer of a cloth suit looks
with pity upon the poor women who display
silks or brocades on the street In the way
of hats the most trying and unbecomina
things are offered that womankind ever
wore. The Langtry turbans and bonnets and
the little tognes still reign but the new hat is
high-crowned stiff brimmed affair, covered
with stiff feathers and stuffed birds. Every
poor fluttering thing, from pigeons to hum
ming birds. are used on these hats, and one
gray felt hat, with seven English sparrows
on side, is characteristic of the season, and
only surpassed by the kittens, mice and
downy little chicks that are actually paraded
on fashionable headgear

A sAD-EYED GERMAN
Tells the Story OF His Fight Against
Depot ..GaonopOly."
[Omaha Cor. Courier-Journal. I


[Omaha Cor Courier Journal
There is very curious object just in front
Of the Union depot, which generally creates
considerable surprise among strangers. The
depot, a splendid structure of granite, with
its surrounding grounds aid off in walks and
flowers, is the pride of Colorado. Strangers
look at this magnifcence and beauty and
turn, the more surprised, to gaze at the IN
slightly object opposite. This object is q
rough fence, twenty or thirty feet high, be-
hind which towers, several stories high, the
sham front of a house-a wooden wall painted
to represent the front of house. In the
windows of this sham house are no glass panes.
but painted on the boards are rude figures Of
men and women looking out of the sham
windows. Over the whole curious structure
are painted a number of signs and placards:
''Down with monopoly Still Live.! Come
and see me, Behind the fence" etc. On the
arrival of trains man appears on one of tho
upper platforms or scafolds and pounds on a
triangle, at the same time crying out at the
top of his voice, "Down with monopoly
"Come behind the fence!" etc. The curious
traveller who accepts the invitation and goes
behind the fence is still more surprised by
what he finds there. A low, dingy room,
with windows that give little light; shelf
with few beer and pop bottles cake of
wormy cheese and sad-eyed German behind
a counter This is the interior of the
strangely placarded place. Even at midday
it is dark in this gloomy room surrounded by
its three-story fence.
''They have ruined me-" the German said.
1.-TWO years ago did good business. The
Union depot wanted to buy me out, but /
didn't want to sell. Then they tried a freez-
ing-out game. They builta fence around my
house. l made the house two stories high
The Depot company raised the fence again.
l saw it was easier for them to raise fence
than for me to raise my house. SO just ran
up wooden wall and painted it like house.
The depot men kept on building their fence
higher, but wouldn't give in, and every
time they made raise 1 ran up the front Of
my house, and, you bet, Pm still on top" he
concluded with sickly smile.
In small sense the German is on top His
sham house towers above the depot fence,
but the real house-the house he lives in-is
completely surrounded and cut off from
light and the patronage of the travelling pub
lie. 1t is only a question of time when the
unsightly object will be replaced by hand
some building or laid off in tasteful walks.

Stirring Times Ahead.
[Demorest's Monthly.]


There are indications all over Europe which
are ominous for the reigning monarchics.
England is republic in all but name, France
is one beyond all peradventure, while in
Germany, Italy and Spain, the great body of
the populations are republicans in theory. A
change will probably come over Europe soon
after Kaiser Williams death. The kingdom
of Sweden is even now shaken by popular
democratic agitation. King Oscar, descend
ant of the French adventurer Bernadotte,
has repeatedly SCI at defiance the popular will
as expressed through the Norway Storthing.
And as a consequence there is determination
on the part of that nation to assert its right
against the autocratic rule. King Oscar
may yet lose his crown if not his head, for he
has violated the fundamental law, by making
the same pretensions which cost Charles l. of
England his life. There are stirring times
ahead for the peoples of Europe.

The camera became an alarming object
when the artist threw black cloth over his
head and converted himself, as it were, into
one large glass eye. The patient was told
not to move-a terrifying injunction. He
was earnestly entreated not to wink, and the
result was the tears Instantly flowed into his
eyes until the craving for winking became a
madness. His head was fixed into an engine
designed to steady it, but which in reality
appeared as if it was meant to crush it, and
in this position he was told to look happy,
and to think of something agreeable, whilst
the operator watched him with his hand on
the cap over the lens waiting for the happy
expression to come into his face II was
hardly surprising that the usual consequence
OF a sitting of this description was likeness
the predominant characteristic of which was
that of acute mental suffering and consider
able physical anguish.
You are constantly coming across the most
extraordinary poses, the most astonishing
expressions Of cs)untenance, the most melan-
choly grouping. 1t is not the fault of the
photographers; the sitters will have it so,
and object to artistic arrangements. A fond
couple, for instance, imagine that a most
picturesque and pleasing effect may be pro-
duced by Matilda sitting on a chair looking
up at Henry, who leans POLITICALLY over her.
In real life nothing could be more idyllic
than such an attitude; but in real life par
ticular subsection of light will not make
Matilda look like West Indian negress, nor
will Henry's bowed head lead one to suppose
that it is possible for a mans face to consist
, entirely of the parting of his hair.
One young lady, in the resolution to look
uncommonly pleasing, comes out as though
she had been just about to sneeze when her
likeness was taken. An elderly lady of larger
proportions, quite ignorant of the law of
Photographic perspective, insists upon sitting
$50" and is represented like an elephant in a
gown. People with turn-up noses, with very
long noses, with no noses to speak of, delight
in sitting en- profile. On the other hand, peo-
pie decorated with four or five chins, and a
. corresponding amplitude of cheek, love to
present their full faces. A short man insists
upon being taken standing. A tall man will
cross his legs, desiring to appear an easy at
titude, and by projecting his boot in the
sphere of the lens is depicted as the possessor
of foot that should make his fortune in a
travelling booth.

Few men seem to realize the constant
drudgery and the incessant vexations under
which Il wife untiringly and uncomplaingly
performs her daily household duties, not per-
haps from lack Of kind feeling, but from ap
objectionable want of sympathy and con-
sheraton. Some men never dream OF the
hourly iTTitatious and annoyance to which
then wives are subjected; they are SO en-
crossed in the mad struggle for wealth, Sc
absorbed in their own pleasures that they
lose sight of such minor matters as home af-
fairs that claim all of woman's attention,
seeming to think that q wife should be happy
and eontented if her purse be kept moderately
well supplied. How little such men know OF
true womanhood, or of their duties and
obligations 10 their wivesl Yet they would
feel Outraged if classed with selfish, unkind
or inconsiderate husbands.
a man who cannot appreciate, and in some
measure Teciprocate his wife's loving sacri-
fees and unselfish devotion, is, in my opinion,
noInan. He should be more gentle, more
Loving, more scrupulously polite to his wife,
more tendelly considerable of her, as such,
than VIXEN she was only his sweetheart for q
sweetheart is still her own mistress and holds
the right TO refuse his attentions, whilst a
wife Is, in this regard, wholly in his power,
and true manhood will recognize that fact
and ae5 accordingly.

and lie cheerfully replies: Certainly, my
dear, With pleasure" the kind words and
gentle manner penetrate her heart, and are
treasured there, but if he harshly answers:
81 suppose must, but you're forever want
ing something" her heart grieved and hu-
INFLATED, shrinks within itself, bearing an
ugly Wound that time will scarce heal
True politeness, ever thoughtful of others,
never willingly wounds, and no one has so
high a claim upon mans politeness and con-
side5aticn as his wife. She may have, doubt
less has faults, since no one is perfect, but her
faults are of the head, not of the heart, and
when her love, devotion and self sacrifice are
placed in the scales how largely they out
weigh these little faults
Kind words and loving attention may seen,
small things, but they sink into a woman's
heart and rivet her affections. Love is a
woman's life; she grows radiant and beauti
full upon it, but deprived of it, she withers
and dies. Her love once given is for always
unless it be crushed by coarseness and brutal
ity, ard there are brutes who call themselves

"A 800 Year-Old Bible.


a curious and valuable book has recently
come into the possession of Mr.. S. A. Thomp-
son, of this city, it being q Danish bible of
the year of 1885. 1t was printed at Copen-
hagen by Matz Bengaardt, and is one of the
second edition ever used in the Scandinavian
peninsula. Its history is known for the past
200 years, having been in the Svendsgaardt
family for that time, and it contains the fam
lily record for most of this period. About
seven years ago it was brought to this coun-
try by L. Svendsgaardt, and, after changing
hands several times, was recently purchased
by Mr.. Thompson in Otter Tail county.
The book shows traces OF its age, both from
its worn condition and the style of its bind
ing. The covers are of Norway pine some
ive-eightS Of an inch in thickness, and COW
cred with hog-skin. The corners are finished
in brass, figured in fanciful shapes, which
have been battered and worn till whatever
beauty they may once have had has been lost
The work is profuse in its Illustrations and is
valuable chiefly for these, as being we'll
preserved specimens Of the engravings of
three centuries ago. Quaint and curious are
some of them. The creation of Eve is one
such. the idea being taken from the literal
-vording of the scriptures. Adam is asleep
and tbs Creator is drawing a fully-devel-
oped woman from his side. A curious thing
is that in the sky the sun, moon, aud stars
are all to be seen at the same tine. Many
of the engravings, if not all. are made in
accordance with modern rules of aerial per-
spective, thing not always done in works
of that century.
A singular fact is that in the New Tesla
ment there are no engravings until Revela-
lions is reached. The life of Christ had not
single scene, and the only representation
of Him is where He appears to John in Rev
Citations The value of the book is not far
from 81 coo, and Mr.. Thompson is in com
munication with parties east who wish to
