The SOldler.Flutlst.

As General La Fayette sat in his tent
writing one evening in the summer of 1881,
the sweet, mellow tones OF a flute fell on
his ear. II was past 10 o'clock, and a
musical performance, at that hour, was, of
course, in violation of camp regulations
The following morning an officer was
despatched to find the flutist and bring
him before the commander. 1t was, ere
long accomplished; and having dismissed
the officer. La Fayette, addressing the
soldier, asked:
Were you playing flute late last

"Yes, sir"
"You are aware that. so doing, You dis
obeyed an order which IL is of the utmost
importance to have vigorously observed?''
IL am, sir; and. when arrested. was
on my way to voluntarily submit myself
to such punishment as. in your opinion,
my disobedience merits"
"Indeed!" exclaimed La Fayette. in
surprise. IL do not comprehend how one
so conscientious, as you evidently are, hap.
pened to be guilty of the slightest DISC
bedience."
Thinking of the loved ones from whom
am widely separated. whom it may be the
fortune of war that shall never again see.
Ibecame indescribably sad. Hoping there
by to dispel the terrible gloom which OPP
pressed me, l took my flute, stole 10 the
bank of the river, sat down and played"

piaintiveness of you tune, the more es-
pecially, as it is one which a dear friend
Of my youth-now dead-used to play.
You are the only person whom | have
heard play it since long ago. and. as you
can imagine, II brought that friend and
beloved France wildly to my mind. Were

of my army that every act of disobedience

stance, forego all punishment most glad
ly.
1.-THE penalty shall impose upon you
is-that you bring your flute to my tent
this evening, at half past eight, and play
the same piece for my mournful pleasure.
Till then you are excused"
Punctually at the appointed time the
flutist again appeared in the presence of
his commander. When he had played
the tune twice, La Fayette thanked him
warmly. placed roulean Of coin in his
hand. and oppressed a hoped to be similar
" favored in the future.
A few months later at the siege of York
town. this same soldier saved La Fayette' 5
life, by receiving through his own arm a
bayonet that had been thrust at the gener-
ais heart.

At the great Centennial Exhibition Of 1876. the

The decision was afterwards confirmed by the

the value of such high and unbiased testimony the
medical profession both in the United States and in
Europe quickly threw aside the old, slow-acting

An Iron Palace.

The wonders of mechanism and inven-
lion seemed to have reached their zenith
years ago. when in fact they had scarcely
left the horizon. One of the projected en-
terprises that Is creating an interest among
scientific men in general, and iron mon
gers in particular, is the construction of n
dwelling that will rival, in novelty at
least, the ivory honse which Ahab built.

Geo. l.. Huston, of Parksburg, Pa, will
build palatial private mansion for him

ing OF solid rock. Several floors will be
laid with polished cast iron tiles, in which
different qualities of iron will be used to
produce variety Of color as in ordinary
tile flooring. Other floors will be Of stout
iron plates, bolted to iron joists. The
outside wall and inside partitions will be
composed of two courses Of iron plates.
bolted together 50 as TO be alright. These
hollow walls and partitions will be used
for chimneys, for conveying heat and for
ventilation. The hot smoke from the fur
naces will, it is claimed be sufficient to
keep the house comfortable in the coolest
weather, 50 that the heating can be done
with about one half the usual amount OF
fuel. The doors and window sashes
will be Of iron, but so nicely balanced
upon hinges and weights, as to move.

that with little attention, it will last for
centuries without repairs, and will never

well, you know the characteristics
of the citizens OF Fort Worth. They
rarely let a good thing escape

this enterprise in its true light, there
