orders, but at the first volley from the rebel
limo no seemed 10 lose his senses. He crouched
together like Il hare, turned, and was creep
ing to the rear. But / intercepted him, with
my revolver cooked and pointed:
Corporal Dayton, your only chance of life
is in the ranks. One step more. and. 20 help

He Strengthened himself up TO his full
height, leaning backward and mechanically
putting out his hand; for the moment his
lesser fear of the rebel fire seemed frozen
out by tho greater dread Of my own threaten
ing weapon o looked at me with great,
pleading eyes. in which entreaty, shame and
cownrdice seemed contendiug, and WITH n
sad, lifeless look OF resignation to his fate,
completely at odds with his former trem-
bling cowardice, he cried:
you've killed me, lieutenant-you've
killed melr
No sooner had he uttered this cry, and
with the look Of a patient brute driven to the
shambles, had turned toward the enemy,
than his musket fell from his grasp, his huge
franc crashed together like a giant OF the
forest beneath the woodman's az, close Of my
very feet, and his upturned face showed mo
a small round hole, pierced by n rebel buck
shot In one corner OF HIS forehead, from
which the thick blood was slowly oozing:
while his hands clutched and snapped tina dry
twigs which lay upon the earth. In the last con
vulsive struggle. his eyes rolled upward for an
Instant before it glazed over, and then half
closed; and his features set in tho CHASTITY
stare Of death.

What do we pay Just what the silver comes

less than 800 worth Of old silver. Many
people coma here and expect we are going to
give thin a new piece for some punched
dime or quarter they have. 1 usually send
them across the street to Colgate's bullion
office. We get a queer assortment Of old
silver here-worn-out spoons, old family
plate, watch cases, medals, jewelry, refuse
from jewellers shops. etc. You soc, there
may be n good deal Of sentiment clinging to

mothers spoons or the pin you gave your girl

A cARRoTY haired Socialist in Chicago
is preaching the doctrine that working
men must be melted to absolute resistance,
that all monopolists should be hanged as
enemies of their country and that peace
and order could be better sustained if
criminal statutes were abolished. 1t is
astonishing how many red-handed bath
enkitea are receiving some degree of con-
sidcration in this fair land Of ours and
how many gullible people are ready to
swallow their oratorical dry-rot. Many Of
these men are lazy, hair-brained fellows
who are unable to earn m honest or dis
honest living in their own country and
come here with the intention of turning
things topsy-turvy. They are usually
given sufficient rope to hang themselves
sooner or later. However, if 80 many of
these jay-hawkers are dissatisfied with the
way things are done in t,is country, we
feel assured hat no serious objection will
be made to their emigration to more con-
genial chimes.

HUNGRY horde is a phrase that Is
being overworked in most Republican
newspapers nowadays. Reference of
course is made to the Democratic p~atriots
who are willing to hold Offices of profit or
honor under the Government. 1t is a
noticeable fact, however, hat although
the Democrats have been out of office for
twenty-four year,, they do not swocp
down like vultures on their prey as did
the Republican carpet-baggers on the
people Of the South In their hour Of
victory the Democrats conducted them
selves with conspicuous generosity toward
a fallen political foe and even il some of
them are now willing to accept Office they
have beautiful examples in the Republi
can party to stimulate them forward and

In answer to a correspondent we would
state that the plan for a monument to
General Washington was approved by
Congress less than two weeks after his
death, which occurred December IA, l779.
1t was to be built by the United States.
and the original intention was TO bury
Washington in a vault in its base. Moth
ing further was done until in 1888. when
an association Of prominent people was
formed TO raise a fund by subscription,
and the corner stone was laid July A, ls4s.
In the eight following years the shaft was
nised l5o feet Work was then sus-
pended for lack Of funds, afterward be-
Of the war and finally because
the foundation was believed to be
insecure. The monument was allowed to
stand for twenty years in its unfinished
condition until 1876. when Congress was
induced to take the matter in hand. The
base was then rebuilt and strengthened,
and in August, 1850, the work ofbuilding
the shaft was resumed. Congress appro-
priated $500, 900 Tor this purpose, which
covers the cost of the shaft, but the pyra.
mid which cans it was paid for by private
subscription. Tue shaft was finished Au
gust .. 1884. The monument is built of
crystal marble from Maryland, aud rests
upon a foundation Of Potomac gneiss 81
feet square at the base. The base of the
shaft is IS feet square on the outside and
is feet thick. 1t is 500 feet high. and the
pyramid of aluminium which surmounts it
is IS feet in height. making it by about so
feet the tallest construction Of man exist
ing, or that probably ever has existed in
tho world. 1t will be dedicated February
