A very curious account is given by
the Russian NoroSt of the cause Of
General Todleben's death According
to this, the defender of Scbastopol died
of too good an appetite. 1t says: "As
soon as Prince Bismarck heard of the
indspostion OF the late Count he sent
his medical man to Soden. Dr..
Schwenninger examined the patient
and pronounced his condition serious,
but in no way hopeless-in fact, he be-
lieved that the patient might live for
several years, if he were strict in his
diet and ate only with the greatest
regularity, in order not to impair his
weak digestion. For this purpose the
daily meals of the Count were divided
into six portions, and the hour was
fixed when to take each meal. But
Todleben, who never in his life had
listened to the advise of doctors,
laughed at DR.. Schwenninger' S instruc-
tions. The do tor is mistaken he
said my organism is weakened and
needs strengthening my good appe-
tite is n clear proof of this The six

he ate all the six portions assigned for
the whole day. Thus three weeks
went by. The condition of the patient
did not grow worse, and the day was
fixeo for him to start for Russia, when
he tainted suddenly during walk.
He had hardly reached his residence
after recovering consciousness when he
asked for the bill OF fare. When it
was given to him he expressed his
establishment at having received a
blank sheet of paper-he had lost his
sight. His feet had for some time past
shown signs Of dropsy, but, curiously
enough, the Count had hidden this
from those around him. He had
fought indomtably against the disease,
but in vain. Two days before his
death he had lost consciousness, and
died on the day which had been fixed
for his return to Russia. Pail Matt

The Law OF Seals.

A seal was originally device of ,g.

were unable TO write with method of
signing legal papers. In old times
cattle, furniture, ornaments and other
movable things which, in law, arc
called personal property" were, when
sold, transferred TO the buyer by merely
giving him possession of them, Among
uncivlized nations land is the best kind
of property, inasmuch as tho owner

BATTLE FLAG At SHENAN-

DOAH
The tented field wore a wrinkled frown
And the emptied church from the hill
looked down
On the emptied road and the emptied town,
That summer Sunday morning
And here was the blue, and there was tho
And wide, green valley rolled away
Between where the battling armies lay,
That sacred Sunday morning.
Young Custer sat. with impatient will,
His restless steed init his troopt rs still,
As he watched with glass from the eak set
hill
That silent Sunday morning.
Then fast he began to chafe and fret:
.There's Il batte-hsg on bayonet
Too close to my own t0Ie soldiers set
For peace this Sunday morning!
"Ride over some tne. y he haughtily said,
"And bring \ TO m. Why IN bars blotd

Then a Wcst-born lad. pale-iaced and slim,
Rode ont. and touching his cap to him,
Swept down. as fast as the ,walows swim,
That anxious ST nday morning.
From hill of heaven to valley of hell;
And foe man and friends, us in u spell
Stood still that Sunday morning.

That pale faced lad like bird through the

Kept on till he climbed to the banner there
That bfsvest Sunday morning.
And lie caught up the flag, and around HIS

He wound it tight and he nd in haste.
And swift his perileus route reiriced

All honors and praise to tho trusty steed!

Oh. iron rain on the brave are head
Why, even the caves from the trees fall dead

Brave Custer is weeping in his delight!
Why, he is embracing the boy outright
This glorious Sunday morning.
But, soft Not word has the pale boy saidS

With his hearts test blood; and he falls

EARLY AND LATE.

When Tom was a boy 1t was often said
That he never wanted to go to bed:
And he really appeared to take delight
In running about the streets at night.
All. much too long would have been the day
Aud weary enough he'd have been of play,
In this very wide-awake little chap
Had not extended his morning nap.
He'd sit up with the owls. and with eyes a:
bright
As theirs oh, ever so late at night:
But no one had a chance TO remark
That Thomas ever arose with the lark.
" Early To bed and early to rise
Will make man healthy wealthy and wise
Was an old-fashioned notion, Thomas said,
And well enough for a sleepy-head-
But as Tom grew older he left the owls,
And initiated domestic fowls
BY going TO bed, oh. not AS he used.
But as soun as the chickens began to roost-
And he had no patience, I've heard them say,
With those who wanted to sleep all day,
For he was around and outof-doors
In the early morning doing his chores.
And that 10 the way we turn about
From youth to age, there isn't doubt;
And the very things rnat we once despised
Become the things that are highly priced
And IL when your young you take delight
In being up with the owls all night,
When you are old you'll think it absurd
To copy the ways of so dull a bird.

Drank, Frank! what is the matter?

Frank was holding to her sides in
despair of stopping her irrepressible

road agent at all; stopped the stage to

"What does this mean, Frank. Tell
me. What were you doing on the road

1t took her long time to get the
story out. bat she did, while Charley
stood with his mouth open wide enough
to represent his played-out claim with
$4,000 in SIGHT"
No sooner had Frank told her story
than he caught her in his arms with a
wild shout: "You little darling, you
shall have every cent of it. y
About two hours afterward file of
disconsolate. disguised horsemen wend-
ed their way up to the tavern, with a
suggestive rope dangling from one of
the saddles" and box containing
$1,000.
1t is sufficient to relate that Charley
did not sell his $4,000 in sight, but on
the contrary received much larger
sum: sufficient, in fact, to make him a
happier man financially and matri-
monially. When enough of the story

that he is bad one. In games of pure
skill. such as chess, and in less de-
