Reckless HOSby.

ALTHOUGH II cueuIIa, Mo,by was q
brave man. He wmld run risks and
take chances which be would not order
his meu to take He was in Washing
ton three different times during the war;
in Baltimore four or five times, and III
more than r dozen instances he pene-
trated the Federal lines for information.
Near NIiddletown he wGs once cut of
by Federal cavalry who held the pike
in both directions. When ordered to
surrender he drove his horse over the
stone wall and got away through the
fields Three bullets pierced his cloth
ing, his horse was struck twice, and an
ovcrcoat strapped to his saddle was
clean cut away Iy bullets. One day
while he was eating dinner in the Lu-
ray valley six Union cavalry walked III
on him. They did not know him as
Mosby, hut rightly coujectured that he
was guerrilla. As they attacked him
be shot two and dashed through Il VIM
dow and made off with one OF their
horses. He was orce captured in
Washington while on spying eXpadi-
ton, but leiGued Drunkenness and made
q dash for liberty while on tine way 10
the Provost Morshal's office. At that
time he had plenty Of proofs on his per-
son to have convicted him az a spy.
Near Warrenton h. one night rode with
twenty-four men full upon Federal
reserve picket Of at least q hundred
men. Both sides stood staring at each
other for a moment and then Mosby
called out:
"Did any of them mules come this
way?
"Haven't seen any," wHs the reply.
"Cuss the crittels-ihey stampeded
on u.s." growlei the guerrilla, as he
turned his men and rode away.
Some of his men had blue overcoats
on, some wore citizens clothes, and no
one could say that they did not belong
to the Federal wagon trains. - Virginia

HOW TO QUIET IN AODTENCE.

When Madame Boisgontier was play
ing at the Follies Dramatiques, Paris,
de confessed to having had the very
bad habit of keeping the stage waiting.
One evening, after having been repeat.
cdly called without effect, the manager
burst into her dressing-room, apoplectic
with passion.
"Madame Boisgontier, "said he, "you
are laughing at the audience "
"And why not?" said she; "they ere
laughing at me-"
YOU'RE not ready" he cried. "What
is to be done?"
"Throw that cap" said madame,
pointing to a wide-awake he held in his
hand, "into the gallery; there'll be
fight, and that will occupy them for q
time"
The cap OF discord was thrown, and
produced its effect. Two minutes were
gained, but still Madame Boisgontier
was not ready.
"Madame Boisgontier, this is intol-
erable," exclaimed the manager. "Only
lis ten to the voice Of tho public. It's
worse than any menagerie at feeding
time. They are tearing up the benches"
Nonsense - said the actress. "Send
out for francs worth of apples, and
pelt the pit. I'll pay for them"
1t was an inspiration. The apples
produced the effect, together with some
bruises, and were devored on the
spot. AS the last morsel disappeared,
Madame Boisgontier, radiant with beau.
ty, made her entree amid the plaudits Of
o delighted house.

"I trust that black will not always
remain an emblem of mourning in this
country" said dealer in mourning
goods, who is a scholar as well as mer-
chant cit is not suitable emblem,
but it implies an absence OF light and a
want of life which we certainly do not
wish to convey as our conception Of the
state our Of departed friends. Mourning
is supposed to be the outward visible
sign of inward grief. The notion of
change, however, would not readily be
received, for when one has to put on the
habiliments Of woe grief is too strong to
De overcome by fashion"
"Whot other colors are used In
mourning?"
"In Italy women grieve in white gar
ments and men in hrown. In China
white is worn bv both sexes. in Tur-
key, Syria, CappadOcia and Armenia,
celestial blue is the .ipt chosen in
Egypt yellowish brown, the hue of tho
dead leaf, is deemed proper, and in
Ethiopia, where men are black, gray is
the emblem Of moWning. All Of these
colors are symbols. White symbolizes
purity, an attribute OF our dead; the
celestial blue that place OF rest where
happy souls are Gt peace; the yellow, or
dead leaf, tells that death is the end Of
all human hope, and that man falls as
the autumn leaf /; and gray whispers Of
the grave 10 which all return. The
Lycians considered mourning for the
dead an elleminato practice, and so
when they gricvea E.ey put on women's
clothes as u symbol OF weakness and rs
shame to them for lack Of manli-
ness. The Thraciaus mado feast when
one OF their loved oles died, and every
method Of joy and delight were EN-
ployed. This meant that the dead had
passed from state of misery into one
of never-endInG felicity. Black was in
troduced as mourning by the Queen OF
Charles VIII. Baiore that the French
Queens wore white mourning, and were
known as the White Queens. "-Nes0

SMoKE.-1'he following extract from
the Mining and Scientific Press on a
subject that is now attracting consid-
cradle attention in the scientific world
the utilization of the valuable mate
rials now wasted in smoke, is well
worthy Of our local scientists: "A
company at Elk Rapids, Michigan,
which manufactures fifty tons Of char
coal iron a day, formerly allowed the
smoke made in burning the coal to
go to waste. Nov the smoke, as it is
formed, is delivered into stills charg-
ed with lime, and surrounded by cold
water, the result of tho condensation
being, first, acetate Of lime; second,
alcohol; third, tar; the fourth produ-
ces gas, which is consumed under the
boilers. A thousand cords OF wood
are converted into charcoal daily,
yielding 2,900,O00 cubic feet Of smoke
from which are obtained l2,0OOpounds
OF acetate of lime, 200 gallons of al
chohol, and twenty five pounds Of
tar.

At most, does Queen TipIy-Toes.
Yet most tender just at eve.

Then for little respite shows
Artful heart Of Tipty-Ioes.
Still by day ana stiil by Light

And her heart whoever knows

And / Oft look down the years,
Thinking of the hopes and fears
When The rose bud is rose

FTittv was furnished with o lap-bag,
thread, needle, thimble and several
squares of bright calico for patchwork.
She WAS also provided with copy Of
the "New England Primer" This Was
a book about half an inch thick, six or
seven inches broad and nine or ten long,
printed on paper not much lighter or
finer than common brown wrapping
paper. The covers We're OF coarse blue
paper.

page from A to p. She hastened home,

beat John Smith and got into Bedlam !"
From this point Of departarc, as time
passed, she studied successfully until
she could read easily in the Beauties of
the Bible" and "The Chart to English
Literature" But it was not in books
alone that Hitty succeeded; from the
making of patchwork and the hemming
of handkerchief, she had passed to the
making of shirt, and for this latter had
received prize Of needle-case. This
meant something, 1 assure you, in those
days when every thread was counted in
