comes a law. In the meanwhile

The records of the war depart
ment show there were "a, $50 volun-
teers in the Mexican war. OF these
the southern states furnished 81
$40 and the northern states 26,620.
OF the whole number it is estiMa-
ted that not more than 15 per cent.
are alive. This would only leave
1894 to be pensioned under the
act recently passed in the lower

The Fate of the Old Blue Hen.

"These are all Generals" said Sher-
man, on the first days march to the
sea, to an old farmer who had come
to ask protection for the last guinea
hen on the farm. "All these are
Generals" he repeated, with sweep
of hand all around.
"But you be the head General. l
reckon" continued the old man, sup
plicatingly.
"When it comes to fighting l am.
l get in the rear and wait until they
clear the way" replied tbs General.
In all earnestness.
"Please. sir. Mr., Gineral, won't
you spare that old guinea p"
pleaded the old man,
"Where Is she ?" said the General.
THAR she be on the top pint of
that tall Lumberdy poplar. and she
can't git no higher"
There she sat, sure enough, on the
swaying top branch of the poplar,
with halfa dozen men throwing clods
and clubs at her, and another half.
dozen climbing the tree. At last she

"Go it, blue hen ; 60 it blue hen,
It's your only chance, for the head
General can't save you."
As she sailed down over the garden
fence a tall soldier reached up and
took her on the fly. She was his
meat, as there was an unwritten law
that the prey belonged to the party
who first got it in hand, no matter
who had found or started it.-Pitts-

Didn't Understand It.

During the war with the South
there was a certain company of raw
recruits marching rapidly to the front.
Their way to the outpost led along
Virginia road which stretched over
rolling country that was dotted here
and there with clumps of trees. AT
turning they saw ahead of them a
pine grove which grew about 100
yards to the left of their path, but
they were unaware that in its midst
a squad of rebel cavalry was lying in
ambush. AS the company got abreast
of the timber, the guerilIas opened a
scattering fire on their flank. 1t was
the first time that the recruits had
heard bullets singing over their
heads, and, moreover, they had no
idea that the enemy was within five
miles Cfthem, so they were uncer-
tain how to regard this demonstra-
ton. The squad halted, undetermin-
ed what to do; and one big German,
after putting his hands to his mouth
trumpet-fashion. shouted towards the
trees: "Stob shooding," and then
turned excitedly to the officer in
command, exclaiming: "What de
tevel dey about? Don't dey know
dey is some boobies here ?" Life.

Sumatra Cannibalism.
From the Gentleman's Magazine.

From the Gentleman's Magazine.
A friend of the writer, who for
more than 40 years has been in the
employment of the Dutch Govern
ment, hears personal witness to the
prevalence of the custom in Sumatra
up till recent times. He was once
making scientific investigations in
the interior Of that island, and was
being entertained in the most hospi-
table manner by the native rajah, or
chief of the place he was then in. A
feast had been made to which he was
hidden and to which he went, taking
his own native servant with him.
The banquet had proceeded for some
time without interruption, when at
last, as crown of the feast. a beauti-
full brown roast joint was brought
from the hack of the house to the open
airy place where the repast was being
held. This was cut up without re-
mark and handed around, and the
Dutch gentleman was on the point of
eating his portion. having raised part
of it to his lips, when his servant
rushed forward and stopped him. say
ing: "Master master do not eat !;
it is boy! !" The chief, on being
questioned, admitted, with no small
pride at the extent of his hospitality,
that hearing that the white man
would feast with him, he had ordered
q young hoy to be killed and cooked
in his honor, rs the greatest delicacy
obtainable. and that the joint before
them was the best part. the thigh.

James and Dan Broadwaters, OF Tex

q seven-year-old girl. The Broadws-
tiers are father and son, and the little
girl had been placed in their family by
her mother who paid them for her
keeping-the mother working in viii
lage some miles distant. The deed
was done while the women-folk were
away from the house. The testimony
adduced at the preliminary examina-
ton is conclusive, and shows the two
roadwaters to be more than brutes.
They were held to await the coming
term of the circuit court, in the sum of

give; but we think the quicker ana

made quite startling discovery last
Sunday. While out in the woods, and
in the vicinity of an old forked log
where he had found a rabbit during
the snow, he peeped into the fork
thinking probably he might find an
other, and discovered large pile of
silver dollars the paper wrapping of
which had been eaten off by the mice.
On investigation the package was
found to contain $l79, and was also
found to be counterfeit. M. F., at the
