A Mystery Explain ed.
Boston Bulletin.

A few miles beyond Victoria we
had the fortune to witness the ter
mination of a Mexican revolutionary
battle. There were several hundred
engaged on each side, armed mostly
with old fiint-iocked muskets, Queen
Anne arms. blunderbusses, horse
pistols, etc. etc, and they were station
ed so far apart that their shot did
each other no damage, the most of
the bullets cutting up the ground
midway between the combalants. We
got into the midst of them before we
were made aware Of the fact by being
hailed by an officer, who demanded
our passports, and as these documents
had been fixed all right at Victoria,
he declared them to be regular,
and after this treated US with marked
consideration.
He invited us to accompany him,
saying that he would conduct US to a
place of safety in rear OF his forces,
where a good view of the whole action
could be obtained. The belligernts
soon began to fire again, and after
each volley of. bullets they would
send another of vile epithets and
oaths. and the two different sets OF
lies were equally effective, except
in the case of poor old woman, who.
was hit by stray bullet and slightly
wounded

ONE OF NATURES FREAKS.
a PhIIadcIphian whose Heart Is on
Ills Right Side.

Tho phenomenal popularity of a
misplaced heart has been brought to
public light as existing in the body of
man who has been a resident of the
st, Cloud hotel for the past six years
He is major in the United States army
and a relative of the late Judge Pack
er. He breads the notoriety which
his malformatiOn would entail upon
him where his name is given publicity.
The discovery that the majors heart
was located on the right side of his
body, instead of the left, was made by
DR. Hampton in 1881, while the for
mer was undergoing a diagnosis for
lung trouble. DR.. Hampton discover
ed that the heart was located four
inches out of place, on the right-hand
side. The seating could be felt three
inches directly below the pit of the
right arm. 1t was found that the
inside organs were CORRESPONDENCE
displaced. As the major had never
suffered from severe pneumonia or
pleurisy it was concluded that the
malformation was congenial. The
heart beat abnormally fast, add an
undue appetite was developed in the
patient. To remedy this latter symp-
tom and the slight lung trouble Dir.
Hampton advised him to 20 to Europe.
He was told that the displacement of
the heart was not inconsistent with
perfect health, and that he would
probably live as long as if the organ
had not been misplaced
DR.. Hampton pronouuces such
cases extremely rare. that of the St.
Cloud hotel man being the second
that ever came to his direct knew
ledge. Maurice Rlynaud, a great
French authority, says that the heart
may be in his neck, At the base of the
skull, in the neighborhood of the Jaw,
i'll depression on the surface of the
liver or between the stomach and the
liver The most curious case of heart
displacement is reported by DeS-
champs. 1t was that of man who
lived healthy, was married, mad three
children, but died suddenly. A post
mortem examination revealed the fact
that the heart occupied the place of
the right kidney. During the last five
years about nine cases of misplaced
hSart have been reported from all
over the world.

A Railroad Moving Itself.

The Utah papers record remarka
BILE illustration of Mormon energy
and perseverance. Beng about to es-
tablish an important manufacturing
business at Iron City, they wanted
a railroad to connect the furnaces and
the coal and iron mines. So they
went to Nevada, and finding the Pho
che and Bullionvllle railroad for
sale cheap, they bought it. But
a railroad is an awkward thing to
move. The rails and sleepers might
be torn up and hauled in wagons, but
cars and locomotives cannot be SO we'll
transported IL that way. According
ly the Mormons have decide that the
railroad must move itself. They will
tear up the rails at the further end of
the track and relay them on the end
nearest Iron City. By continuing
this process they expect in time to
walk the road out of Nevada into
Utah. where they want it.

A $4,000 JERSEY COW.
Which Lives Like a Raee-1orse and
Eats Everything In Sight.
Atlanta Constitution.

Captain G. n. Yancey arrived in
Athens Friday, after short trip
through Canada, where he had gone
to purchase some Jersey cattle. The
Captain chief mission was to invest
in Jersey cattle, and he spent some
time with the most famous breeders,
He went to see and also ate some but
ter FROM the world-renowned Jersey
COW, Mary Ann of st. Lambert, for
which an offer of $50, 500 was refused,
and who would bring on the block in
New York $50, 600 The COW has
yielded four pounds of butter day,
and for eight months past has aver
aged over three pounds. She is treat
ed like race horse, being kept IN a
stall with litter up to her sides, and
one man does nothing but attend to
her She has four troughs in her
stall, and is attended TO as regularly
as q Princess The Captain says the
most wonderful thing about these cat
tie is their appetite. Despite being
pampered like child, Mary Ann of
St. Lambert seems always hungry,
and while he was in her stall she came
near chewing off one of his coat-tails.
But it was not at all disagreeable to
receive such attention from a $50, 600
bovine. She is as gentle as lamb and
delights in being ca1essed.
The owner of the COW has the finest
herd of Jerseys in the world. While
Captain Yancey was at his farm he

teen cows and heiters, and scout

How to Disappoint Balky Horse.
Fitchburg Sentinel.

A Leominster farmer recently
broke his horse of a balky freak in a
very quiet, and, as he claims, not a
cruel manner. His horse is in excel
lent flesh and shows no signs of neg
lect on the part of its master. He
drove him, attached to rack wagon,
to the wood lot for a small load OF
wood. The animal would not pull a
pound. He did not beat him with a
club, but tied him to a tree and let
him stand. He went to the lot at sun
set and asked him to draw, but he
would not straighten a tug. Il made
up my mind" said the farmer, that
when that horse went to the barn he
would take that load of wood. The
night was not cold. L went to the
barn, got blankets and covered the
horse warm, and he stood until morn
ing. Then he refused to draw. AT
noon | went down and he was proba-
bly, hungry and lonesome. He drew
that load of wood the first time | asked
him I returned and got a.other load
before [ fed him. | then rewarded
him with good dinner which he de-
Voufeu eagerly. nave uitW W 90 q a.
loads since. Once he refused 10 draw,
but as soon as he saw me start for the
house he started after me with the
load. A horse becomes lonesome and
disconnected when left alone as
much as a person, and l claim this
method, if rightly used, is far less
cruel and is better for both horse and
man than to beat the animal with a
club.

charge upon the enemy and put them
TO flight, or do something besides
stand there and waste ammunition
and call one another vile names The
answer was that the opposite party
was composed of very valiant men,
and if charge were made upon
them that they would not run away,
but would stand their ground, and
think nothing of killing any of the
assaulting party; and that was
catastrophe which they seemed TO
think should be avoided in warfare
And then again the revolution now
in progress had sadly split up families
and communities, and many of the
men on one side had friends or rela
tIves on the other, and they feared the
consequence Of close fight
This explained the mystery, IS was
just little family quarrel about who
should govern them. and how he
should do it, and though they all had
their preferences, still they did not
wish to shed each others bio ID about
it. 1t reminded me of what Next
can had said to me in regard to the
American soldiers as fighting men.
He held that the Americans did not
know how to fight, that they were in
the improper habit of rushing right
on to their adversanes and sticking
bayonets into them,s instead of stand
ing off and shooting as they ought,
and as other nations did, who had re
ceived better training and were more
civilized.
He said it was this that caused the
Mexican army to run away from
them at BueAa Vista and other places.
They would not stand to be beyoneI
ed; it was not the way to fight An
other thing about the Americans,
that they would not give up when
they had been fairly whipped Santa
Anna said of Gen. Taylor at Buena
Vista, that he had whipped that
id Yankee General five times that
day, but he did not know enough to
be aware eff it, and II was no use in

Risked Her Life for Her Hat.
Schenectady Star.

Shortly after the arrival of the Troy
train this afternoon, two young ladies,
accompanied by a gentleman, came
out of the station and started down
the street, crossing tracks Nos. 1 and 2
as an engine from the west was APP
preaching atquite rapid rate of speed.
The party had scarcely left the track
when the wind lifted the hat of one
of the ladies and deposited it directly
in front of the approaching engine.
The woman, Ignoring the protesta-
tons of her friends and the bystand
ers. rushed upon the track and stoop-
ed over for the hat with the engine
within two feet of her. The pilot of
the locomotive struck her and threw
her to one side of the track. She was
in no manner injured, neither was her
dear precious hat. An old railroad
man remarked soon after that in forty
years experience he never saw a
woman make such a fool of herself
or a more wonderful escape from
death.

Franklin Thompson's" Career.


Congressman Cutcheon to-day put
in two bills. one to remove the charge
of desertion standing against the
name of Franklin Thompson, of the
Second Michigan Infantry, the other
to grant pension of S12 month to
Mrs Sarah e. E. Seeley, alias Frank
lin Thompson, for service as soldier
IN Company F, of the above named
regiment. In 1861 an interesting
juvenile enlisted IN the regiment at
Detroit giving the name of Franklin
Thompson, aged eighteen, and served
two years with the regiment. Most
of the time Thompson was employed
as mail carrier; for while. also,
orderly, serving as such to General
Orlando NJ Poe at the battle of
Fredericksburg. At that battle
Thompson, wearing a dainty velvet
cap with a squirrel tail plume, rode
about on horseback carrying dis
patches. Colonel Dillmann, of De
troit, remembers The particulars. The
behavior of Thompson was descreet
and brave, and, although toward the
middle of her second year of service
her comrades had some suspicion of
her sex, nothing was ever divulged
The regiment went to the West, and
Thompson. being then sick with
malariAl fever, was ordered 10 the
hospital at Lebanon, KY. The notion
of going to the hospital did not suit
her. She deserted and returned to
her home at Flint, resumed her ap
propriate attire as woman, and when
her health was restored went to
Oberlin College. Ohio. While there
she wrote the book called Nurse
aud Spy" subsequently she entered
the hospital service at Harper's Ferry
and elsewhere, continuing until the
war closed, when she returned again
to Flint, and not long after married
Mr.. Seeley and removed to Fort
Scott, Kan, where she now resides.
She has quite a family of children.

Michigan are interesting themselves
