A War Story.

Congressman Blackburn, of Ken
lucky, is quoted as telling this story:
-Four days before I went to the front
with my regiment we had little girl
baby. She is now grown, and you al
ways see her with me at any social
gathering. Well, in our army the fur
loughs came very rarely. When We got
into line there WAS no great chance
for a man to get home. 1t was about
three years afterward that few of us
were one night going down the Mississ-
ippi on river steamer. I had been
sick and was returning to my command,
but pretty we'll broken up even then.
AS for money, we did not have any, and
the night was hot as laid down on the
deck, my throat almost parched with
thirst. Pretty soon a little girl came
along with big glass of lemonade. I
Tell you it looked good to me. She saw
me eying it, stopped minute, looked
dollbtfully at me, and finally came up
to my side. "You look as if you wanted
something to drink, she said, and off
cred me the glass. It wasn't quite the
square thing to do, but I took it and
handed it back empty. TWAS like nee
tar to me. Then 1 thanked the little
creature and sent her away. Soon after,
just like every child, she came back,
leading her mother to see the poor
soldier. BY Jupiter, it was my wife,
and the girl was the bapy whom had
last seen as baby but just born. You
can imagine the reunion. They were
with my brothers family, and happened
to be going down river. That was the
only time during the four years fight
ing that [ saw my wife and baby, and
under these circumstances what man
would ever forget it?"

A Costly Piece Of Furniture.
The finest and most costly piece

The finest and most costly piece Of
furniture ever conceived was the famous
peacock throne" of Delhi. Tavernier,
a skillful French jcweler, saw it, and
made a computation of its intrinsic val
ue. He calmly estimated that its econ
omical worth, aside from its claims in
an artistic way, was $3O,O0O,00O. It
was but feet high and 4 feet broad,
but it was composed of solid gold inlaid
with rare oriental gems. It received it's
name from the jeweled images of pea
cocks which adorned it's canopy. This
canopy was also of gold supported on
twelve gold pillars, and hung all around
with fringe of pearls. On each side
of the throne stood two chuttahs, or
umbrellas, symbolical of royalty. They
were made of crimson velvet, embroid-
cred with gold thread and pearls, and
We're equipped with solid gold handles
and diamonds. This throne was con-
structed by Austin de Bordeaux, at the
order of the Emperor Shah, the same
enterprising monarch who had con-
structed the Tai, the pearl mosque of
Agra and the other most remarkable
monument of architecture in these parts.
The peacock throne was carried away
by the Persian Nadir Shah, while the
jeweled ceiling was melted down by the
Mahrattas ut the time of their inva-
sion in 1850. This ceiling was valued
at about $S5O,OOO.

British kindness" to Wounded
Enemies.

From the New York Sun.
One of the strange features of Gen.
Graham's battles in the Soudan was
that the dead and buried Arabs were
counted by thousands, while the wound
ed and prisoners were hardly mentioned,
or perhaps we're reckoned in scores and
hundreds. This is contrary to usual
experience, as the wounded are gen.
orally at least three or four times as nu-
merous as the killed. A British service
paper throws light on this subject by an
extract from letter of an officer of the
Forty second regiment, which, it thinks,
twill be read with pleasure" by his
friends:
Il took splendid spear and killed q
great many wounded men with it; it
went into their hearts like lightning,
and their blood flowed out onthe sand. I"
1t would appear from this, unless it
was on exceptional case. that the wound
ed left on the field were butchered, as
in Znluland, where, also, the enemys
losses almost wholly consisted Of killed.

The Penitentiary Too Good for Them.

The Washington Star, referring to the fail
ure of Middleton & Co., bankers, of Washing
ton, says: One Of the latest developments of
the way in which their customers were
plundered is shown in the case of Hon. James
II. Mckenney, clerk of the supreme court of
tho United States. Mckcnney had been close
friend from boyhood Of D. W. Middleton, Jr:,
and succeeded Middleton, ST., as clerk of court
and his confidence, therefore, was unbounted
in Middleton, Jr. His deposits in securities
and money with the firm amounted to $6l Geo.
every dollar Of which is lost They not only
took his money in general default but cut
open envelopes in which he had placed his SC
curities such as bonds and stocks for safe
keeping, and sold them McKenny has moth
ing but plundered envelopes, to show for the
savings of life time, though part of this
amount belonged to tho court; nor did they
spare even their own families. In another in
stance, $1O,0;M in trust bonds had disap-
peared in the whirlpool. There is still another
aggravated case. they had power of attorney
from a gentleman absent from the city to at
tend his business here, and had key to the
safe On hearing of this failure he hurried
to the city to look after his own securities. He
found every one had been sold. This safe was
not in the Middleton bank.

A verdant eapolis Man.

Syracuse, N. y. Special:-Dr Albert Mayer
Moss of Minneapolis, Mimi, left the Aston
house in New York Wednesday for home. He
had $500 and publicly divided it before leav-
ing the house, putting $500 in his watch pocket
and the remainder on the inside waistcoat
pocket, where he pinned it in He took the
Cortland street ferry for the West Shore train
He saw two men on the boat and again OH the
cars who were in the hotel when he exposed
the money. On entering Kingston the men be-
gan to play three card monte. Mayor Moss
held aloof from the game, but consented to
change money for the gamblers. AS he did so
seven or eight mon gathered around him, and
one grabbed his $500. In the struggle his
waistcoat was cut open and the $500 extract

men left the team at Kingston. Moss was told
that there were no police there and in his en-
element he came on here and related his story

advised him to go back to New York and lay
his case before Inspector Byrnes. He left on

Cold and Heat Near the Poles.

We are accustomed to associate this
geographical position with extreme cold
(remarks the duke of Argyll in the April
number of Good Words}. But the rocks
of Greenland tell us that, although this
is the case now, it was not the case in
former ages, and consequently that
there is no necessary connection between
an extremely low temperature and
position near the pole. They tell us in
short, that this association is purely
temporary and accidental It is strik-
ing and curious enough to find, in the
bleak headlands of the Isle of Null, on
our own coasts, the leaves Of an album
dant forest vegetation-the large leaves
of the plane tree, the evergreen needles
of the texodium, of the view, and of the
pine, and mixed with these the frond-
like leaves of the tree called by botan-
lists "Salisburia," which is now an in
habitant of japan. But the curiosity of
this contrast between the present and
the past, as regards climatal conditions,
is nothing to the still gerater contrast
IN this matter which is presented by
finding the same fossil flora in the rocks
of Greenland-rocksw whose surfaces are
now almost wholly bare of Vegetation,
and all the higher elevations Of which
are covered with eternal ice and snow.
And yet even this contrast is not the
contrast highest in degree which the
rocks of Greenland present. The Mi
ocene flora, to which these leaf-beds be-
long, is a very old flora now, but there
was another flora much older, which
we have never seen in life, and which,
from its nearest living analogies, we
are accustomed to think must have been
associated with almost tepid and sire
my atmosphere. This is the fora Of
the coal measures. Yet this fora, too,
in long ages before the Miocene, has
certainly fourished on the area which
is now occupied by Greenland It is
needless to point out what curious ques-
tons these frcts raise.

by the landlord of the Burns House
with message that it had been found
in a basket of linen, counted the money
which was all in 800 bills, and found
one bill missing: Eleven hundred dol
lars were returned out of the original
$1,000 which the package had contained.
Later my friend Wells and myself
sauntered into the bar.room Of the
Burns House: A good many men were
standing about, and the one subject of
discussion was the finding of the money:
By this time everybody knew that the
money had been lost and quite as mys-
teriously found, it was said, by cham
bermaid among the linen. All sorts of
surmises and suspicious were floating
about. Many looked askance at us as
We drew near, and whispered together,
for somehow it had leaked out that Mr.:
Miller had been closeted great deal
with us. An uneasy feeling that some
accusations might be made was evident
Soon after Mr.. Miller came up to the
bar, and while being congratulated on
all sides, smilingly said that he never
felt uneasy. He knew all the time that
it would be returned. "But,' said he,
I'm 800 short; I don't worry about
that Seating himself and elevat-
ing his legs comfortably to the back of
chair opposite, he said: "That 500
is all right" biting off the end of ci.
gar and lighting it.: It'll get it in
few days" Everybody looked curiously
at his neighbor, but no one thought il
best to ask for any explanation. Sever.
al went away soon afterward. As We
passed out the elder of the Freeman
brothers was just ahead of us. The
next day Mr.. Miller left on one of his
boats for home, thirty miles distant.
Two weeks later he called at my room
again, and said he had just received the
other one-hundred-dollar bill! Two
young men drove up to his door one
day the previous week, he said, stran.
gers to him, and asked if he was Mr..
Miller. They declined to enter the
house; sud they were from the tow1

Some Railway Salaries and Wages.
From the London Railway News.

From the London Railway News.
The amount expended by the railway
companies in managing, working, and
upholding the tines for the past year
was about e37 100000, of Which ex-
actly one-half, or 218,5OO,OOO, was
paid for salaries and wages alone. The
ordinary shareholders received in the
year Ella 200, 900 by way of dividends
on their holdings, or between e4,OOO,~
600 and 95, 600, 600 less than paid their
employees. The fact that the latter have
thus larger pecuniary interest in the
railways, and absorb more than one
fourth of the gross earnings before pay
ment of any interest or dividend whatso-
ever, makes the wages question the most
important to he dealt with in the adj
ministration of the railways. From a
social point of view the subject is, of
course. one of great magnitude, for it
would appear that the annual aggregate
exceeds the sum voted for pay and al
lowances to the army and navy together,
both for effective and non-effective SER
vices.
