The evening of the last day of October is
regularly observed as time of frolic
among the young people according to the old
tradition which permitted witches and elves
to ride abroad and work their spells on the
eve of All Saints Day. 1t is an ancient
Scottish custom to observe the time and
Burns wrote nent it:
Upon the night when fairies light
On Cassillis Dounan's dance,
Or DER the braes in splendid blaze
On sprighty coursers prance
Or for Coleon the rout is ta'en;
Beneath the moons pale beams;
There up the cove to stray and rove
Among the rocks and streams,
TO spat that night.
Among the bonnie winding banks,
Where Doom rims wimpiin' clear,
Where Bruce ance ruled the martial ranks
And shook the Carrick spear,
Some merry, friendly country folks
Together did convene
To burn the nuts and pu the stocks,
An hold their Halloween
In blithe that night.
Cassilis Dounans is famed in classic story
as the abode of fairies. The peculiar signif-
canoe of the time has reference to the love
of the young people who have various spells
is to boil an egg hard, take out the yolk, fill
with SALT and eat it while going to bed back
wards. The young lady who does this
will most assuredly want drink, and she
may dream her future husband will bring her
one. Or she can pare an apple without
breaking the peel, aud on looking In the glass
backward and repeating her thoughts if she
throw the pairing on the floor it will form the
favored ones initial letter.
Roasting chestnuts in pairs is a popular
method. II the two slowly brown side by
side it is an omen that the couple for whom
they are named win marry and be happy.
But if one flies fro IN the other they will not
be united.
Boys engage in boisterous sports, such as
pulling up cabbages, taking gates off their
hinges, and tearing down signs Bobbing
for apples is one of the peaceful home amuse-
ments. The apples are put in a tub of water
and each guest ''bobs" for one, catching
it in his mouth. and he can have as many
apples as he can secure with his teeth in this
fashion, 1t is provocative of much mirth
and amusement.
THE FEAST TINE OF THE YEAR.
''This is the feast time of the year
When hearts grow warm and home more dear,
When autmn's crimson torch expires
To fash again in winters fires
And they who tracked 0ctober's flight
In charmed circle sit and praise
The goodly logs triumphant blaze"
eve have had slight frost, the first ten
der touch of winters ieweled finger, a pre-
monition-no more. How kindly the old
dame moves in the eountry-how orderly,
How cleverly she lays everything to sleep
ond then folds over all her delicate drep-

her success as fortune teller through her
skill in shaking and tapping teacup until

shapes or forms representing people, ami

way to the person whose fortune she happens
to be telling at the time l was present once
when she told the fortune of a young lady.
The prophecy aud the method OF making it
seemed TO me to be very vague; but the gist
of it all was that in short time young
gentleman of extremely prepossessing ap-
pearance would arrive, and that he was. in
some unexplained way, to exert powerful
influence on the future prospects of the
young lady. Wishing to discover what
was in the cup to warrant such a forecast,
l obtained possession of it without
being observed. In the bottom of the CUP
/ saw that the leaves had assumed 8 form
which with a little aid of the imagina-
ton, might be accepted as resembling very
spare, delicate and altogether debilitated
young man. With the aid OF a teaspoon,
and using q few other grounds of leaves
that were lying on the bottom of the cup. |
quickly changed the young man into a dis
reputable looking old tramp, with big bum

cious looking bulldog Then awaited the
result. Presently the young lady whose for
tune had been told, lookup the cup. with a
blush of pleasure to examine its contents.
The moment she saw the dreadful figure of
of the old tramp she exclaimed, ssWhat q

connection, which was only oueIled when /

NIcKsAMEs OF GENERALS.
One Hay in Which Soldiers Express 17sess
Estimate of Their Leaders.

Estimate Of Their Leaders. .
''Every general of prominence had nick
name bestowed upon him by his troops, "says
writer in the Century. "Some of these
names were of a sarcastic nature, but usual
ly the indicated the confidence of the men
in their leaders or their admiration for them.
Gen. Grant was commonly known over the
watch-fres in the army of the Potomac as
"Oid United States,n from the initials of his
name, but sometimes he was called sold
Three Stars" that number indicating his
rank as acknowledgement. Mcclellan was
endeared to his army as Little Mac Meade,
who wore spectacles, was delighted to learn
that the soldiers had named him 'Four-Eyed
George for he knew it was not intended as
reproach. Burnside, the colonel of the 1st
Rhode Island regiment, rose to the dignity of
'Rhody' when he became general. Hooker
never liked the sobriquet of fighting Joe,'
though he always lived up to it during his
career in the field. Pope was saddled with
the title of 'Saddle-Bag John, in memory of
his famous order about headquarters being
On horseback. His men used to say that
their headquarters moved pretty rapidly at
times. Sigel, the German general, was
known in the other corps as sDutchy.' Han
cock won the brevet of Superb from re-
mark made by Gen. Meade ut Gettysburg,
when the I'd corps repulsed Longstreet's men.
HUMPHREY. being distinguished engineer,
was invariably styled 'Old Mathematics The

ming OF his military career. Logan, with his
long black hair and dark complexion, was
Black ,JacK' with his men, Sheridan the
cavalry leader, was Little PHIL and Sher-
mans troops spoke of him as sOld Tecum-
Sch The sterling nature and steadfast purA
pose of Thomas earned for him the signifi-
cant and familiar name of old Reliable. ;
Alexander Mcdowell McCook like Hooker,
was called Fighting" McCook.' The New
York city regiments in the 5th corps changed
Sykes to 'Syksey.' Halleck was derisively
nicknamed odd Braius,' and Rosecrans had
his name shortened to 'Rosey.' Lew Wallace
was Louisa to the soldiers under his COM
mand; he was great favorite for his fight
ing qualities, and the soldiers adopted the
inappropriate name for want of better
Kearney, who had left an arm in Mexico
was invariably known as 'One-Armed Phil
Butler was styled 'Cockeye,' for obvious rea-
sons. Fitzpatrick was nicknamed Kill, }
while Custer was called 'Ringlets,' on account
of his long, flowing curls; and so the cata-
!ogue might be prolonged indefinitely.
"Among the confederates familiar nick
names were not so common as with the feder

The editor of the Scranton Pioneer does
not claim to be prophet, only logician He
argues in this way: Is it not easy to see that
European prices will prevail in regard to the
price Of lands in this country in a few years
after our free lands are exhausted. To put
the matter in a few words, we shall soon see
lands that can now be bought for S. and SO
an acre selling for $50, while the best farm
ing lands in the most favored places will be
held at $500 or $500 per acre, and even
more. But this will not be the case for wears,
say some. 1t may happen in ten years, and
certainly will in twenty. If man desires
to make safe investment for himself and
for his children, let him buy land. And for
cheap lands, Dakota stands ahead. Not
only are Dakota lands the cheapest, but they
are the best in the world. Let the land seeker
come to Dakota.
