NARROW ESCAPES.
Some Close Calls, and How They Were De-
clined.

New York World.
The escape from death of the six year
old child, Annie Haley, who fell from a
third story rear window in Mulberry
street and was caught by a double
clOthes-line, escaping with slight injuries,
seems almost miraculous. Yet some
still more marvellous cases have occurred
within the observance Of many persons
in this city.
About four years ago during the Sum-
mer, youhg lady seventeen years of
age, residing on Sixtieth street, was re-
covering from an attack of fever and was
left one afternoon alone in front room
four stories from the basement The
young lady rose from the bed, pinned a
blanket around her shoulders with a
heavy shawl pin, and hearing some
music in the street went to the open
window, held the lace curtains together
with one hand and leaned forward to
look out. AS she did so her strength
failed, and she tainted, falling out of the
window. Immediately outside of the
window was a large nail on which a
bird cage used to hang. AS she fell close
to the wall the nail caught the blanket
for an instant, and this sWerved the body
to one side of the basement yard where
there was grass-plOt. The young lady
escaped with a dislocated shoulder,
which was set while she remained I'M
conscious. She is now married, and was
kept in ignorance of her accident until
after her marriage, in fear of the
effect the shock might have on her sys-
tenn.
A little boy six or seven years of age,
whose parents moved into the sixth
story of a large, fashionable uptown fiat
about two years ago, leaned against a
slat nailed against the unfinished ele-
vator. The shaft broke and the little
fellow fell through the shaft, but was
caught by a man working on the elevator
two floors below, and was carried unhurt
upstairs to his mother before she knew
of the accident. Yet the detail of it so
shocked her that her life was for some
time in danger,
About twelve years ago number Ct
Americans were crossing the channel
from Dover to Calais during very heavy
sea. They were advised to go below,
and did so. But stubborn Englishman,
who was bullying the walters and deck
know, persisted In remaining on deck.
A heavy wave suddenly struck the side
of the boat, broke the guards and swept
over the deck, carrying the obstinate
Englishman and everything that was
loose out to sea. But the backward
sweep of the same high wave brought
him back to the boat again and landed
him violently against the guards.
The Englishman Immediately went be-
low.

An Iowa Romance.

In the year 18- there arrived from
England and settled in small town in
Iowa, few miles west of Dubuque, a
young man, one of that class we now I'M
hesitatingly term dudes" which is of
recent years one of England's most num-
erous and perhaps popular articles of ex-
port. He was a handsome fellow of
pleasing address, and ere long won the
confidence and respect ofthe inhabitants
of the little town, and indeed, the hearts
of many of the fair girls. But three
weeks elapsed when he was employed as
clerk in an extensive general store.
and by extremely polite manners and
strictly business principles he soon built
for his employer a lucrative business.
Among his customers was a pretty bru-
nette of the sweet sixteen" class. Her
father was very wealthy but miserly
old farmer, and quite ignorant as com
pared with most of our present wealthy
farmers. The old farmer, it may be said,
accumulated all his wealth, upward of
100000, in the remarkably brief period
ofsix years by
A SUDDEN STREAK OF LUCK
in the silver mines of Colorado, he being
one of the lucky or rather unlucky three
who left there with over a million dollars
in their possession. But alas! on their
homeward journey they were set upon
in the wilderness of the vast plains and
massacred in most indescribable man
ner, their heads severed from their bod
les, the scalp torn from their heads, and
their arms'pulled from their sockets, and,
of course, robbed of all their treasures
Yet in some miraculous way our old hero
made good his escape with few slight
wounds, and with great difficulty and
endurance reached his native town three
months later, where six years previous
left wife and child in the most desti-
tute circumstances and depending on the
county for support. Now his timely re-
turn changed their station. They no
longer needed assistance from the county
or neighbors, but on the other hand they
became source from which other poor
people sought aid. They were now
wealthy and independent and were
looked upon as the head of the COM
munity for time. But to return to our
young hero and heroine: We find their
clandestine meetings the subject of con-
siderable comment, and encountering
serious objections on the part of the rich
old farmer, who, of course, only Olowed
the general rule by opposing the atten-
tions paid his daughter by the handsome
young Englishmsn. But as is also the
rule, on the other hand,
LOVE LAUGHED IN HIS FACE,
and with loves determination the young
admirers pursued the Objectionable course
until at length the old man, no longer to
be baf1ed, sent the pretty daughter off
to bt arding school in the suburbs OF
Chicago.

Comb or Extracted Honey.
Country Gentleman.

M M Hunt had raised both comb and
extracted honey, and should, in the fu-
ture, work more for extracted than
comb honey. DR.. Kezartee had had ex-
perience in raising both kinds and found
that comb honey was the most salable.
It was necessary to ask people to buy ex-
tracted honey, while comb honey almost
sold itself DR.. l. @. Whiting thought
that the profits are about equal, and re-
marked that ii honey put up in small
packages would sell for three cents more
per pound, it would pay to put it up.
DR.. Mason said that it depends
upon the market and upon circum-
stances, IS to which kind is the most
profitable.
The question was asked whether it in
lures the bees to extract the honey. D.
A. Jones said that he knows it is good
for the apiarist, and he believes it is
good for the bees. 1t does not injure
the brood. If some of the larvae are
thrown partially out in extracting from
the brood comb, they would be thrown
back when the combs are reversed and
then care should be taken not to turn
too fast after the combs are reversed. II
anyone doubted it, he could pick up a
larva that had been thrown out, and put
it into a cell surrounded by smaller
larvae, and it would be sealed over first,
showing that it was uniniured.

adapted to the mode of life. Coffee, fried
pork, boiled corn beef, ginger bread and
biscuit, cooked in old-fashioned tin ovens
before an open fire, and baked beans,
cooked in the ground, are the usual dish
es. Good cooks are always employed
and the men are never stinted. An I'M
mense wagon follows the drive, always
filed and covered with heterogeneous
collection of pike poles and overcoats,
tents and coffee pots, etc. The trip usu-
ally consumes from two to three months.
The drivers, cooks, walters, etc., comprise
a force of about sixty men.

THE EIGHTH KANSAS.

Once more we meet-but not as when
With youth and hope we marched away
A thousand men we mustered then
A feeble remnant hire to-day.
Our banner flashed in waves of light,
Der serried columns brave and strong,
While thousands gathered TO the sight,
With cheers of parting, loud and long.
The merry Jest and laugh went round,
Our tolls and hardships to begulle, =,
AS with the soul OF Old John BrOWns
We tramped through many weary mile
We tramped and fought, and fought and
Wars ierce tide surging to and fro,
Der mountains high ana dismal swamp,
Until the grand concluding blow.
But now. by conflict torn and marred,
Our flags hang out on the silent wall
And We gray haired and battle-scarred,
The struggles of the past recall.
For suffering binds with links of steels,
The souls mat death together braved,
And hearts, with tender memories NIL,
For those whose blood the Nation saved
Our comrades of those troubled years,
Who sleep beneath the silent 500,
Who yielding not TO foes or fears,
Were true 10 country and 10 God.
Wasting. as wastes the crumbling rock,
Worn by exposure, want and Toll,
Falling in batJle's deadly shock,
But dying with the conquerOr's smile.
For them the camp fire burns no more,
Nor morning TeVeille shall awake;
The bus le's blast nor cannons roar
Shall never more their slumDers DreaK.
Their dust is scattered far and wide,
Der battle fields their valor won;
Meath AlaUama's mountain side,
And Georgia's ferVid southern sun;
Kentucky's dark and bloody ground
Has closed upon the msnly Ureast, =
And Tennessee place has found
For many a comrades final rest.
Down the gulf streams cypress gloom,
Where MOSES gray, funeral wave;
Or Whe magnolias blend perfume,
With orange blossoms above their graves
Our Western households mourn the loss
of lovers, sons aud brothers slain;
Yet Joy relieves the bitter Cross
They died, but persisted not In vain
The Union banner floats supreme
Der every spot their feet nave pressed,
And glory crowns the patriots dream
A land united and at rest.
Thus Kansas gave, in faith sublime,
The life blood of her children free,
While rom it springs through after time
The flower and fruit of liberty.
But while we drop the silent tear
In memory OF our comrades gone,
A grateful country greetS us here,
And halls our work as nobly done.
Then Il the tale from age to age,
B. Be told with varied speech and style,
In poets song, on history page,
Ana proud monumental pie.
The parting com es-the conqueror, Death,
Lays PROSTATE both the brave and strong
But while the Union stands the Eighth
Shall live in story and in song.

Drawer THAN THE MEN.
A New Story of Gen. Howard and a Woman
Waterbury American

A New Story of Gen. Howard and a Woman
Waterbury American.
While in Gettysburg last week had
an interview with Mrs, Peter Thorn, who
was in Gettysburg at the time of the bat
tie there, and was told by her the follow
ing, which think has never yet been
printed. The story has been corroborat-
ed by a number of the people of that
place, and I have every reason to believe
it to be true.
Mrs Thorn lived in the house at the
entrance of the Borough cemetery. The
house was used as headquarters by Gen.
D. o. Howard. Mrs. ThOrns husband
was away from home at the time (serv-
ing in the Hath regiment of Pennsyl-
vania volunteers, and stationed in Vir-
ginia), leaving her with two quite young
children. During the fret day of the
fight Gen. Howard wanted some one to
show him and tell him about the differ
ent roads leading from Gettysburg, and
asked number of men and boys who
were in the cellar of the house to go
with him and point them out. But these
persons were all fearful, and refused to
90. Then Mrs. Thorn showed her cour-
age and patriotism by voluntarily offer
ing to show the roads. This offer was at
first refused by Gen. Howard, who said
he did not wish woman to do what
men had not the courage TO do. Mrs.
Thorn persisted in her offer, saying:
Somebody must show you, and can do
it; I was born and brought up here, and
know the roads as well as anybody" Her
offer was accepted. and, with the general
and his horse between her and the fire
of the enemy, Mrs. Thorn went from
one spot to another, pointing out the diff
fere4.t roads. When passing along the
line of troops, the General was greeted
with: "Why do you take woman for
guide? This is no place for her." II
know it," said the officer, "but l could
not get man to come; they were all
afraid" This answer to them started
cheers for Mrs. Thorn, which lasted sew
eral minutes, and showed that our sol
diers admired the courage shown at such
a time.

LOGGER'S LIFE.
A Picture of the Camps of the New Hamp-
shire Lumber-DriVers.

A Picture of the Camps of the New Hamp-
shire Lumber-DriVers.
Plymouth, IN. H Cor. Boston Journal.
The lumber industry of this section is
a very important one, and yet one of
which few people have any adequate
idea. Away up the PemigeWasset valley,
among the loot hills of the Franuonia
Range, stand immense forests, into which
each winter enter gangs of lumbermen.
A rude shanty is erected, in which the
men eat and bunk, and large quantities
of salt pork and salt beef, -four and mo-
lasses carted in, a cook procured, and
the Winter campaign is opened. The
life of the men in these camps is a most
mOnotonous one, chopping steadily
through the day, with the exception of a
short rest for dinner and a smoke. After
supper all gather about the cooks fire to
tell stories or listen to the soulful har-
mOny drawn from a $3.50 fiddle, and
then they climb the ladder to their hunks
in the loft.
The typical river driver is to New
Hampshire what the cowboy is to the
West-a creature of unbounded profanity
and shirt collar, bold, reckless and dare
devil to the last degree. Yet among the
number are many who are far above the
average of such laboTers- farmers sons
whogo down the river for the sake ofthe
81 or 50 per day, which is more than they
can earn at home at this season of the
year. The life is hard one. The men
never sleep in a house during the trip,
but two camps, the 'front.' and ''rear,'
move with the drive, here to-day and
further onto-mOrroW.
The camp consisted of large cooks
tent and several ga tents" in which, on
3 few inches of straw, the men take thei
