An Indiana Soldiers rorasinr Experience.
From an Exchange

When Tom Kennedy, Pittsburgh boy, with
three of his comrades of the 10Th Indiana, was
taken prisoners at =" Knots Section" four miles
up the Potomac River from Harper's Ferry,
he was on foraging expedition. Tom had
crossed the river several times, bringing in live
mules, cook stoves, and other useful append
ages to our picket-posts, and on this occasion
he had determined to fit himself out with a
full wardrobe of woman's clothes. While his
comrades were rumaging below, Tom sought
out the sleeping apartments up stairs. During
their search through the premises some thirty
in plumber of Ashby's Confederate cavalry
pounced down and surrounded the house. The
guard who had been stationed on the Maryland
side to cover an attack began firing, but the
unfortunate boys who were below were soon
captured; but Tom had determined to escape,
if possible, although greatly overpowered by
numbers. Tom was fully equipped in female
attire, with the exception of long wooden
white hat, which ne had drawn down on the
back of his head. The door through which he
must pass out was four steps from the ground,
and was surrounded by ten or a dozen cavalry
men on foot. Tom took in the situation at
once, and determined to make the best of it.
The door was open, and with a run and leap,
striking with his clenched fists and kicking
with both feet, 1oored three of the Johnnies
and broke for the river bank, but was captured
before reaching the waters edge. Tom and his
comrades then bid good-by to the guard on the
opposite side of the Potomac. and were soon On
their way to Richmond, where they were for
tunately exchanged in few weeks.

The Castillo Soap DelusiOn.
TFrona ne phaadsEphf.u Cnu

By some unaecountable means there has been
handed from generation to generation two
erroneous ideas concerning CASTLE soap. One
error is that the materials of which it is COM
posed are invariably of the best, and the other
is that it is beneficial TO the skin. and conse-
quently desirable for the toilet. These errors
have so taken hold of the popular mind that it
is usual TO provide piece of white CASTLE
soap" to wash the newborn infant, and this
is usually done by the advice or sanction of the
family physician, who, having imbibed the
prejudice from his precept0r takes TO recon-
mending it as a matter of course, without using
his own judgment.
Ii is now, however, becoming doubt among
many physicians and nurses as to whether the
favorable opinion about CASTLE soap is not en-
tireIy at variance with the true facts Of the
case, and it is a settled opinion with some that
CASTLE soap is really responsible for many Of
the skin diseases that are prevalent even among
persons whose occupation should cause them to
be free from any such unweleome and annoy
ing complaints; ministers and lawyers, bank
ers and artists, and men and women whose
occupations Tor want of any occupation would
seem to preclude almost any possibility of such
uHge,,teeI disease as saltrheum, letter, ETC., IN
spite of their exemption from exposure are as
likely as any, not only to have these or worse
skin troubles, but to suffer with them for years
Infants, even the children of the wealthy, sur
rounded by all that money can provide, are
seen afflicted with eruptions and sores, or rem
dered hideous by ugly seabs, that seemingly
cannot be either accounted for or relieved.
We advise the blame to be put in such eases
where it usually properly belongs, to their
favorite soap, for in ninety-nine cases out of a
hundred skin diseases will be found to arise
solely from soap, and NO matter how much
prejudiced in favor of any particular kind OF
soap is recommended, person with skin
trouble should at once make change.
1t is really very doubtful if any vegetable oil
is adapted for soap intended for the skin
even if the oil is fresh and sweet, but there is
very little doubt that even the best brands Of
white CASTLE soap are made from rancid olive
oil; that being of too poor quality for table use
is in consequence used for making soap. The
best imported CASTLE soap costs the importers
only from 10 to IL cents q pound, ali over that
paid by the public being profit to the importer
and retailer; and pure sweet olive oil brings
too much to enable it to be made into CASTLE
soap and sold at any such price. We trust thi:
article win induce physicians to give this sub
ject the consideration that it deserves, and VIZ
feel confident that the result viii amply repay
them for their trouble

That Iowa sergeant at Yieksbarg.

To THE EDITOR: In reply TO Comrade d. c..
Cameron's question as to what Iowa Sergeant
it was who came out OF the casemate in front
Of Cars division in the charge on Vicksburg
escorting Confederate Lieutenant and dozen
men, I state that it was Sergeant Griffith,
of the 2lst Iowa. He came out in front of
LAWYERS brigade of Cars division and my
brigade of a. J. Smiths division. The two
regimental flags that were planted upon the
epaulment, and kept there five hours or more,

the 46th Ohio, Lieut. Parker, of my bri-
gade The 18th Ohio took down and saved
their flag, while that of the 18th H. was cap

Honesty Not a Rare Quality.

AS many as 1869 articles found by drivers
or conductors were deposited in the lost prop
erty branch of the police; 10,031 of them We're
restored to their owners ; the rest given back
after three months to the finders, or sold.
There were s, All written inquiries about effects
or parcels left in public conveyances, but never
brought to the police, showing total of q, $50
articles lost in those conveyances, irrespective
Of cases in which verbal inquiries only were
made The number of lost articles never
brought back to Scotland Yard should not give
one too bad an idea of the London drivers and
conductors honesty, for there is no doubt that
many of the articles never recovered are taken
and stolen by subsequent passengers. That
most of those men are honest and can resist
strong temptations is evidenced not only by
the number Of the returned articles but by the
value of sone of them, among which in 1882
were three deposits of bonds amounting in each
case to FL 600; plate of silver weighing l ,O34
ounces, and valued at f240; diamond, f500;
banknotes, f130. All these valuable articles
were restored to their owners, while three ESQ
notes and other valuables remained unclaimed
and were restored to the finders.

Concerning the smartsst Cat in esorzia.

Robert Adams, of Baker county. gentleman
whose veraeity is one of the dyed-in-the-wOol
kind, was in TO see us this week and related an
occurrence that we are forced to call clear case
of adoption ON the part of cat at his house.
The cat was the mother of three kittens, whose
appearance proved source of inexpressible
delight to the smaller members of his flock,
whose appreciation and affection was so lavish
towards the kittens that il proved the death OF
one of them. The old cat in this dire moment
of distress was determined that the family
circle should be numerically the same, and,
suiting the action to the thought, Immediately
meandered forth into the woods, hitched on to
young rabbit and carried it into her children

1t Bothered the Doctor.
[Fron the Troy Press

DR.. McCosh is celebrated for egotism, aud
the best of it is he is never conscious of it.
He has a broad Scotch accent and the habit
of gnawing at the joint of his thumb when
busily thinking.
Some years ago he was lecturing before the
senior class in Princeton College. he had been
discussing Leibnitz's view of the reason of evil,
to the effect that mankind was put upon the
earth because there was less evil here than
elsewhere.
One of the seniors inquired, "Well, Doctor,
why was evil introduced into this world?"
Ali" said the Doctor, holding up both
hands, rye have asked the hardest question
in all feiosophy. Suckkrates tried to answer it
and failed Plato tried it, and he failed Kahnt
attempted it and made bad work of it Leib-
nitz tried it, and he begged the whole question,
as I've been tellin' ye; and confess (gnawing
at his thumb knuckle) 81 confess don't know
