A Story About Gov. Crosby.

a friend Of ex-Goy. Crosby. Of Mont
ana, relates the FOLLOWING romantic
episode in his career. When he was a
young man he made a voyage on a clip
per ship from San Francisco to China.
The captains wife was on board and
during the long voyage a cordial liking
grew between the couple and the young
traveller. One evening, when the. vessel
was nearing her destination. the cap
tain told Crosby that his calling was a
p%erilous n and that he feared that if
his death should occur his wife might
be sadly in need of friends. He asked
Crosby to promise in that event to be-
friend her. The young man freely
made the promise, and in order that it
moi be forgotten tie captain tattooed the
mark of a heart on his arm and also on
that of the lady. Many years elapsed
and Crosby heard nothing of his COM
p%anions of the China voyage. Finally,
when in San Francisco again last sum
mer, he inquired among some Of the old
merchants and learned that the captain
was long since dead and that his widow,
son and daughter were living in Wash
ington territory. He telegraphed them
to meet him in Portland, and had the
satisfaction of being able to be of some
substantial service to them. The Gov.
still carries the mark on his arm, and
the narrator Of this incident comp AIRED
it with that on the lady's arm at a dim
ner table in Portland when the reunion
Of the old friends was celebrated over a
bottle of champagne.

the primitive man in any great city,
with his low forehead, his prognathous
jaws, his large, knuckly hands and
splay feet. He and all his modifica-
tions up to the perfected form and the
spiritualized intelligence are every
where around u.s." The treatment of
women is one of the attributes of the
primitive man and the low savage; es-
pecially his right to trade her off like a
beast of burden. A queer story,
which carries us back to our semi
british ancestors, is that of a man
who, getting tired of New York,
determined to return to the old
country, and, having no funds, hung
out q notice that he would sell his wife,
with all his right, title, and interest in
her, to the highest bidder A China

out for $40; and when he found that

that he would be arrested if he persist

He Went Into Rattle.

Among the first Confederate troops
son Geesmore, who enlisted as chap
lain. He was devoted Christian, and
his prayers were regarded by the men
as utterances from higher power.
Just before the battle of Jenkins Ferry
the old man in sermon said:
my dear boys, have decided to go
into the next fight with You. i don't
think n man can properly preach about
the evils and sensations of war unless
he has experienced the feeling of going
into battle. Now, the next fighting we
engage in shall have me numbered
among its participants.
The old gentleman rode large gray
horse, and when preparations for the
battle of Jenkins Ferry were being
made he appeared on the snowy charger.
Some of the officers begged him to keep
out of danger, but, with an expression
OF heroism, he replied that he would
engage in the battle. The first artil-
lery fire from the enemy shot the horse
from under the old gentleman, and by
the time he settled himself on his feet
a bullet came along and carried off one
of his fingers. He attempted to be
calm, but just then bullet carried
away the right thumb, and, wheeling
around, the old man struck a deter
mined trot for the rear.
Hold on, parson!" called some one.
Hold on, -" he replied. ASK
a man to hold on when the whole -
universe is shooting at him! Take care
of your body and the Lord will take
care of your soul !"-4rkanSa,o TraU-

Manicured Hands.

They are known by the rosy trans
parency of the nails and the well de-
fined half-moons at the base, where the
cuticle is drawn back and compelled to
relinquish its tenacious hold. The cut
tings of the nails are oyal-shaped, and
the brittle, shcll-like edge smooth as
glass. The whole hand undergoes a
change, as by direction of the manicure
it is swathed in poultices and washes
by night and watched and caressed by
day until it becomes as handsome and
perfect in its shape as it is possible for
that particular hand to be, and an OBJ
ject of respect and admiration to its
oWner.-DetTOu Free Press.
