A Confederate Parson.

Among the first confederate troops
that went out from Arkansaw Was
Parson Geesmore who enlisted as 8
chaplain. He was devout chris
tain, and his prayers were regarded
by the men as utterances from a
higher power. Just before the battle
of Jenkins Ferry, the old man, in a
sermon, said:
NY dear boys, ] have decided tn 60
into the next fight with you. | don't
think that a man can properly preach
about the evils and sensations of war
unless he has experienced the feeling
of going into battle. Now. the next
fight in which we engage, 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 his snowy
charger. Some of the officers begged
him to keep out of danger, hut with
an expression of heroism, he replied
that he would engage in the battle
The first artillery 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 took of one of his fingers.
He attempted to be calm, but then a
ball carried away his right thumb,
and wheeling around, the old man
struck determined trot for the rear.
Hold on. parson! called some one.
Hold on, h-ll he replied. Ask q
man to hold on, when the whole ID
universe is shooting at him. Take
care of your body. and the Lord viii
take care of your soul.-Arkansaw
Traveller.

A Snake in a Sleeping Car.

From the Philadelphia Times.
The liveliest time | ever had on the
road, said the sleeping Car conductor,
was one night when snake got loose
in nv car. We were coming East
from St. Louis, and out at Efiug ham,
ILL.,, We took on family Of Pittsbur-
gers bound for home. There was a
bow of 10 in the party. who carried a
little wicker cage In bis hand, partly
wrapped up. | thought Of course ne
had a bird in it and allowed him to
take it with HIM into the car. That
night at Dayton, which was reached
at 8 80 O'clock, pretty young lady
was put aboard and took berth at
the end of the car. near the ladies
dressing room. About 10 o'clock L
was at the other end of the car, bok-
ing at the porter backing the boots,
when suddenly there came from the
dressing room some of the shrillest
screaming you ever heard so keen
that We heard it over the noise OF the
train. | rushed through the car fol-
lowed by tie porter, and | found the
little lsdy who got on at Dayton
perched on tip-,nes on top of the
washstand, frightened out of her wits,
and pointing at something On the floor.
She was SO excited that couldu'
make out what she was saying, but
looked down, and there was nasty
little green snake coiled up in the
middle of the floor and moving bis
head about from side to side, evident
ly ready for a fight. / wasn't exact
ly afraid of the thing, but it did give
me creepy sort of feeling to see it il
my car, and / was just about to kill it
when / heard somebody behind n'
yelling: It's my snake Don't kill it
Don't kill it and the boy who hat
brought the cage into the car rushed
ju and took the snake up in his hands
But when the boy had put the snak
back in his cage settled matters b!
dropping the cage, snake and all, on
of the window. felt like dropping
the boy out, too. The boy had pu
the cage under the berth on the floor
and when the porter was fishing GU
the boots he must have upset it ant
let the snake out.

An Astopished Cat.

Gautier, the French writer, had a
cat which slept on his bed nights, On
the arm of his chair daytimes, follow
ed him when he walked, and always
kept him company at meals. One
day friend left his parrot in Gautiers
charge during his absence. The
poor bird sat disconsolate on the top
of his stand, while the cat stared at
the strange sight. Gantier followed
her thought, and read there clearly {:
1t must be green chicken.
Thereupon she jumped from his
writing table, crouched fiat, with
head low, back stretched out at full
length, and eyes fixed immovable on
the bird. Parrot followed all the
movements, raised his feathers,
sharpened his bill. stretched out his
claws and evidently prepared for war.
The cat lay still, but Gautier read
again in her eyes:
No doubt, though green, the chick
en- must be good to eat.
Suddenly her back was arched. and
with one superb bound she was on the
perch. when the parrot screamed out :
Have you breakfast, Jack?
Pussy was almost frightened out OF
her wits She cast an anxious glance
at her master, leaped down and hid
under the bed, from where no threat
or caress could bring her out for the
day.-Our Dumb Animals.

Old Styles of Stationary.

''This is the latest thing out in fancy
stationery" said a dealer yesterday.
The paper appeared to have been
sprinkled with muddy water and
dried in that condition. lis ed -es
are wrinkled and soiled. The manu-
facturer evidently meant to give the
paper peculiarly soiled and aged APP
pearance.
"The fashionable taste in station
ery." continued the dealer, sis for old
stvle, particularly anything that sa-
vors of age Here is style of paper
which is hardly less peculiar. Its sur
fac, is full of Impressions of autumn
leaves. Here is piece of paper
which was made up in lady's dress
and worn at a ball. The paper Was
made in the Sandwich islands from
the fibre of cocoanuts, and was made
to initiate satin.
But speaking of odd designs in
writing papers here is an imitation OF
birch bark. 1t has a glossy white
surface, covered with minute speck:
worked into the psperin such a way
as 10 exactly resemble birch bark
Here is style made in imitation of
fancy, pebbled leather, and another
which closely resembles Hammered
bronze. Here is style thai
has satin finish, and an
other style in imitation of gros grair
silk. Another paper is made in imi
tation of watered silk.
Refined people usually buy plair
paper ola fine quality, such as pnr'
linen or parchment. which is suitable
for all occasions and is never out o
style. Some 200 styles of fine wed
ding, visiting, and general stationer!
have been introduced this season
Card stationery is going out of fash
ion, and will be very little used in thu
future. The newest designs are wha
are called papeteries-that is card
either plain or gilt-edged, with an ini
tial or floral design stamped in tn
upper left-hand corner. They ar
very nice, although as said, card
are going out of fashion.-Sun.

Martin Mulvey living at No. Easf

to tIke the carpet from the Il o.. He
was dru * aud said he would sell the
carpet so as to get money for liquor He
had gathered it up and w:L> about to
leave the room when Mrs. Mu.yey en-
tered. As soon as she raw what he was
doing she attempted to prevent
il, when Mulvey drew revolver
from his pocset and, pointing it al
her, fired, without hitting her. He then
chased his wife into the street and,
Jumping on his wagon, which was in
front Of the house, took heavy loaded
whip in his hand aud struck her three or
four times ON the head, fracturiug her
skull. Mrs. McMann, of Ninety-thirJ

Observation-Disclosures.

LOUISVILLE, October THE affairs Of
the NewcUmb- Buchanan Company are ap-
parently in q worse condition than ever.
The assignee is without money to carry out
the trust, and the plan proposed by some OF
the largest creditors to raise the same by a
system of charges on the whisky in the
warehouse, owned by creditors, is so strongly
objected to that il is not likely to be adopted.
In this event the estate will probably be
forced i'll the Chancery Court which will
make final settlement In many
cases it now appears impossible for cred
itors to obtain the whisky on which
they have claims without its costing them
heavily. Another letter has been received
from George c. Buchanan, proving beyond
doubt that he and Andrew Buchanan arc in
Windsor, Canada, opposite Detroit. George
c. and Andrew Buchanan, members Of
the whisky firm of Louisville, KY, just as
signed, are reported to be at Windsor, On
tari0, where they were seen last week, and
are now identified as the missing liquor
dealers. A rumOr says they visited Walk
er's distilery at Walkerville, and have been
inquiring into the Canadian liquor laws and
requirements necessary to engage in bUsl-
ness. 1t is thought they are Visiting some
interior town, as search to-day in Windsor
fails TO discover them. There is no doubt
the men have been in Windsor, but their
present whereabouts are unknown.

Henry d. Moore, of this city, has re-
ceiv 4 letter from his cousin, Leonard
X. Moore, second officer of the British
steamer Niseroa, which ran aground or
the coast of Sumatra, November Sth
1888, and the crew of which was capture
and taken into the interior and held for
ransom by the Rajah OF lemon. The let
ter is dated July 10th, 1884, and says
eight out Of the twenty-eight men had
died. Their treatment was very
cruel. They had tired to es-
cape, but each time were brought back
at peril of the sword and some were
placed in irons. The latter info nation
was conveyed by means OF ciphrr
known only by Moore and hi, cousin.
The writer explains that he has to be
careful what h. writes. The letter was
forwarded by friendly native TO Com

Of the Atchafalaya outlet of the Mississippi
and conveying the belief that there is dan
ger of the water of the Mississippi being
detected into that river, and thus finding
its way to the sea, leaving New Orleans
on the banks of a lagoon as Vicksburg
has been left. They ask that the facts may
be laid before the President and Con-
gress with q view to averting what they
look upon as National calamity. The
best engineers say that if the Atchafaiaya
were damned as proposed the water would
inundate all of Southern Louisiana and
place the city of New Orleans under ten
feet of water.
LINCOLN BANKS, a noted desperate of
the Kentucky mountain regions, was ar.
rested recently in Louisville on the charge
of murder. Banks was in attendance on
the session of the United States Court as a
witness in some "moonshine" cases.
AT Sipe Springs, Tex, a mob lately at
tackled the residence of a farmer named
Hayes. His son-in-law, Dunlap, and q
young son of Hayes went out to meet the
mob. The latter was instantly killed and
the former fatally wounded. 1t seems that
another son of Hayes had been concerned
in horse-stealing. A committee notified
the elder Hayes TO leave the county and he
refused. A posse of citizens started in
pursuit of the assassins, several of whom
were recognized by Mrs. Hayes.
A SINGULAR case of spontaneous COM
bustion recently occurred at Canton, Miss.
