The New Recruit,

In passing by one OF Uncle Sans re.
cruiting offices you may have been in
clined 10 smile as vou observed a raw re-
cruit emerging therefrom, trying hard
TO appear at ease in his blue uniform,
but failed utterly. He is young man
of twenty, perhaps, just off from farm,
who has been lured away from the pillow
by dreams Of glory to be won in fight
ing Indians in the far west. His sleeves
are too short for his long, lank arms,
and his great hands, roughened and
hardened by farm work, are awkwardly
conspicuous and dangle clumsily BY his
side. He sets his soldier cap little on
one side, trying to assume a jaunty,
devil-may-care air, suitable to the reck-
less warrior that he has suddenly be-
come, but it is not at all in keeping with
his downcast eyes and bashful face, and
the only things that he feels at home in
are the clumsy army shoes, which might
have been made by his own cobbler.
fou may smile, we say, as your eye fol-
lows him, but, kind reader. did YOU ever
take in all the picture? There is fire.
quently a great deal more than meets
your brief glance on the street. You
might, II you tried, see tender.hearted
old mother in the little farm house he
has left behind, whose heart Is filled
with anxious fears for the boy she saw
depart to make his way in life. He fan
cies he is a man, able to cope with the
world, but she knows his inexperience,
and to her he is little more than the
child she has loved and tended. And
when she learns that he has enlisted and
gone TO the frontier, there Is deep grief
in her heart and an abiding fear that she
shall never look upon his face again
All, there are a great many atfectionate,
grieving, old mothers left behind when
the battles of life are to be fought, that
the world takes little heed Of, and that
are often forgotten by the ones who
above all others should hold them In
tender remembrance.
Now turn In another direction, IL YOU
are accustomed to scanning scenes with
your eyes closed and reading events BY
the potent aid of the imagination. II Is
easy 10 summon up scenes OF savage
warfare In which the raw recruit may
be destined to mingle and where the
awkward youth may develop into lofty
hero. His endurance may be tested BY
long and perllous marches, and camp.
ings out that would exhaust the energies
of an Arctic resident. Soldering in the
Indian country Is far from being the
hilarious picnic which the farm lad pic.
tured to himself while following the lazy
oxen at the pillow, or dreamed Of under
the humble roof Of his ancestors. But
once there he Is not apt TO shrink from
the duties he has assumed, Many q hero
has been made In this way Some OF
them have lived TO come back and re-
joicc the heart Of the patient old mother
praying ut home for her sons safety,
but the bleaching bones Of others whitcn
many tragic spots that tell Of savage
warfare. Eyes dim with tears look In
| vain for their return, and yearning
hearts pine In hopeless sorrow. II YOU
only think Of II, reader, there is wide
atmosphere Of pathos surrounding the
new recruit --Cin. Sat. Night.

A Hog Story.

Says the Salisbury Advertiser: "The

ing and then seemed to recover its
health About that time a small crack
in its skin was observed along the side.
Then similar one appeared on the
other side, and then one on its neck.
These cracks extended gradually, and
the skin appeared to be getting loose.
The process continued until about q
week ago, when on going TO the pen,
Mr. Goslee was astonished to find the
skin lying in one place and the hog,
alive and well, in another. An inch OF
fat was still adhering to the cast-ofi
coat, and the whole weighed thirty-three
pounds. The skin on the legs and
head remained on the hog The ami
NAL is now in excellent health, and q
new skin is beginning to form"

The attempt to ecure q division Of
the territory Of Dakota and the ad-
mission of the lower part Into the
union as q state, received a decided
setback by reason of the Yankton bond
scandal. Information received here
from one of the prominent officers Of
she territory In relation to the action
recently taken by the territorial legis-
lature for the removal of the capital
from Yankton forebodes an offense
which will become a worse stencil in
the nostrils of honest people than the
reputation of bonds. Yankton Is in
the southeastern part of the territory,
and the removal of the capital to
q site more central has long been an
tlcipated. There has been great rival
ry among various towns In the interior
for the possession of the Capital, and
feeling ran 80 high that the legislature
at last determined to disregard all rival
claims, and set up not only q new Gap
ital but q new town. The competing
