CHASTITY Scenes in a Savannah Hos
pital During the War.
From Aunt Kate" in the Weekly News OF
April Is.
1t was a sickening sight. The uooI
exchanged men we've as CHASTITY as
rags, filth; sores, and starvation can
make poor humanity. All! i was
pitifuI; to think OF the greav cogn-
Try Of the United States; how it had
enough, and to spare, and yet had
starved and tormented those poor
men, thrown by the fol cunes of wal
into their hands. Sherman said:
"War is cruelty, and you cannot re-
fine it" But the world never yet
has justified England for the treat
ment of the prisoner Of Helena.
Aunt Kate gazed at each cot in pas
sing. One poor man she noticed
whose form was attenUated until he
seemed a living skeleton. One eye
was eaten out with scurvy; the 9th
er was closed as if he was asleep,
but his face was contorted with pain.
She passed on a few PAGES, growing
for the first time sick at heart with
apprehension that her husband
might be like one of these. Over
come by the thought a sudden faint
ness attacked her and she leaned for
moment for support against a pill
liar near by.
Standing there, her limbs trembling,
depressed and discouraged, she heard
her name spoken i'll faint tones;
Kate! Katen'
She thought surely her senses
Knocked her. The voice was husky
and not familiar. Again she heard
the words:
ooh, Kate don't you hear me?"
1t was the man whom she thought
was asleep. She looked back at
the cot and saw the poor wasted
hand held out entreatingly to her.
She knew then that she had found
her husband.

Pleuro Pneumonia in Illinois,

The Chicago Breeders Gazette says: At
last the unweleome truth is forced upon US that
contagious pleuro-pneumonia has found a
Judgement in the prairies of Illinois. The ev-
idence of its baleful presence in not less than
five Jersey herds in Illinois is overwhelming,
and grave fears are felt that the extent of the
infection has only dawned upon u.s. In view
of these developments the following order has
been issued:
Department of Agriculture, Washington,
Aug. 20, 1SS4-To the cattle Owners of the Unit
ed States: Owing to the existence of a dis
ease supposed to be pleuro- pneumonia, in sew
eral herds of Jersey cattle in the State of Hi
nois, l hereby request owners of all herds of
Jersey cattle in the United States, into which
new animals have been introduced since Jan.
l, to stop the shipments of cattle until after Oct
i. The disease seems to have been introduced
by animals sold at Virginia, Cass coun-
ty, Ill, in February, 1884, and these
animals were widely distributed through
out the Western States. 1t is hoped,
therefore, nat persons owning cattle trac-
ing to this sale, and all others having cat
tie affected with disease of the lungs, will at
once communicate with DR.. De Salmon, chief
of the bureau of animal industry, care of
Breeders Gazette, Chicago, and clearly state
the condition of these herds, and the symptoms
of disease The attention of owners of cattle
and railway and other transportation COM
panies is called to section of the act establish
ing the bureau of animal industry, which makes
it misdemeanor punishable by fine of not
less than 500 nor more than 5000, or by
imprisonment of not more than one year. or
both, for shipping cattle with a contagious, in
fecHous, or communicable disease, and es-
pecially the disease known as pleuro-pneu-
monla, from one state or territory into another.
The condlai cooperation of the state authori-
ties and all persons interested in the welfare of
our cattle Industries is earnestly desired in or
der to avert danger which menaces the herds
of the country.

Captain James T., IN old Portland
shipmastet. told the following ghost
story to 4 citizen: He said that one
night, on the voyage from which he had
just returned, while lying off the Bat
terry at New York, waiting for the crew
to come on board, he heard some one
on top Of the house calling: James T
-" Now, this was not only the cap
tain's name, but also that of his son,
who was his mate ON this voyage. Only
the captain, mate and steward were on
board, and on hearing the voice they all
went on deck, but saw no one. The
stewards dog, which slept id front OF
the cabin door, lay quiet on his rug.
The next day the bark sailed for Rio
Janeiro. and several strange occurrences
took place on the passage. One
morning his son, the mate, said to him:
Captain, the ship is haunted. turned
out Oh my watch ct four o'clock in the
morning, and as went out Of the cabin
door saw some one in white, but be-
fore could distinguish whether it was
male or female it disappeared around
the main mast. The steward said he
saw it also and was frightened. Some
days after this the steward called the
captain and told him the mate had not
yet come on deck. The captain went to
the mates stateroom, and on opening
the door saw the mate apparently laugh
ing at him, but on taking hold of him
he found he was dead. From his dis
torted countenance it appeared that he
had been frightened to death. Several
other strange occurrences happened on
board, and on arriving at Rio the stew
ard left the vessel on account of feeling
that she was haunted. Strange noises
continued to be heard on board, such as
the working of the windlass in heaving
the anchor, but on going forward no
one was to be seen. Now comes the
strangest part of the story. During the
captains absence on this very voyage
another son Of his, Samuel T, ar
rived home from a voyage, and re-
marked that he would 60 down for his
dunnage. He came back with it and
lay down for nap. Not coming down
to tea, some of the family went to call
him and found him dead. This was
about the time that the mate and stew
ard saw the figure in white.-Portland

Lord Palmerston's country residence
is well known to have been near Rom
sey, Hants. In the course of his ac-
customed rides in the New Forests he
saw laboring man burning lime and
entered into familiar conversation with
him, asking to be obliged with his sur
name. The man replied that it was
Purkiss. Now, this was the reply that
was sought, and Palmerston exclaimed.
II thought as much" He accordingly
asked the man if he was descended from
the lime burner of that name who carted
away the body of William Rufus after
his unfortunate fall by the arrow of Sir
Walter Tyrrel. The man answered in
the affirmative. "Then give me your
hand" said his lordship, for though
you are . laborer, I must not forget
that you are q brother Hampshire man, "

Living on His Dead Comrade.

Winnipeg Special: w. B. Mcbride
of Chicago, who has arrived here from
trip to the Rocky mountains, brings
word that man named William Owens,
California miner, was found by some
railway navvies near Kicking Horse
river few days ago in a famished and
partially demented condition. Owens
said he started June ID, with Joseph
Williamson, from Kamloops on pros
pecting trip, expecting to strike the
Columbia river, but their supply of
provisions gave out before reaching
there. They travelled for six days and
half without food, when Williamson
laid down and died. Owens then cut
strips of flesh from his dead companions
legs, which he ate sparingly, and pro-
ceeded on his tramp. He had been iv-
ing six days on human flesh when found
and still had quantity of the dried
flesh in an old handkerchief. He was
very weak and emaciated, and told his
story with difficulty. He repeated the
horrible details on several occasions
and all who heard him are con-
vinced that the story is true. He had
large roll of bills with him. The police
have taken the matter in hand and will
investigate it.

Struggle With A Wolf.

For many years the trapper Cheney
was feature" of the northern New
York wilderness. Every tourist
through the woods reckoned his ac-
quaintance as one of the necessary adj
ventures and all who returned from Lake
Golden and Mt. Tahawus brought home
choice collections-or collections of
forest stories related to them by DAN
lei Boone of the Adirondacks. Cheney
was man who knew how to face wild
beast and never feared to do so-wheth-
or his antagonist was an angry moose,
or wildcat, panther, wolf, or bear.
One of the many close encounters out
of which he narrowly escaped was a
winter fight with q she-wolf which his
first shot failed to kill.
As he came upon the animal, raven
GUS with hunger, and fioundering
through the snow, he raised his rife
and fired; but the wolf made spring
as he pulled the trigger, and the. ball
did not hit vital part. She then
rushed at him furiously.
He had now nothing but an empty
rifle to defend himself with, and Instant
" clubbing it, he struck the wolf on
the head. So desperately did the
creature fight that he broke the stock
into fragments without disabling her.
He then seized the barrel. which, MAX
ing q better bludgeon, told with more
effect. The enraged animal seized the
hard iron with her teeth and endeavored
to wrench it from his grasp-butit was
Q matter OF life and death with Cheney,
and he fought savsgely. In the mean
time the wolf, by stepping on his snow
shoes as she closed with him, threw him
over.
He then thought the wolf would con-
-quer, unless he could make his dogs,
which were securing the forest, hear
him. He called loud and sharp after
them, and soon one--a young hound
sprang into view; but no sooner did he
see the condition Of his master than he
turned in alright, and fed into the
woods.
But at this critical moment, the other
hound burst in with shrill, savage cry
and wild bound upon the struggling
group. Selling the wolf by the neck,
he tore her fiercely from his master.
Turning to grapple with this new foe,
she gave Cheney opportunity TO gather
himself up, and fight to better advan-
tage; and soon, BY . we'll directed blow,
be finished one Of the severest battles
he had ever had with . wild beast.
After thst lesson Cheney bought :

In Boston, a few days ago, Mrs. Parnell of
Ireland, held conference with a number Of
Catholic bishops and leaders Of the Irish Ma
tional league concerning the means by which
the coming political contest in this country
could be turned to the advancement of IreIand's
cause. It is understood Mrs. Parnell repre-
scented her son at the conference. Mrs Parnell
submitted details Of scheme for the benefit of
Irish home industry which she stated had been
conceived by her son.
MIR. ParnelPs proposition was that a direct
offer be submitted to the political parties of
the United States as follows: If, in accordance
with the friendly feeling expressed toward
Ireland in America by Americans, one of the
political parties will incorporate plank in
its platform in favor Of admitting goods of
Irish manufacture free of duty, specifying
such goods as cannot be manufactured else
where than in Ireland, and the importation of
which will not complete with American pro-
ductions, then such party will receive the or
ganized support of the Irish American vote.
Even if direct organization is not made, yet
the Irish vote can be directly influenced in
favor Of the party which shall champion the
cause Of Irish industry.
