The following story is told of one
of the bravest soldiers Of the old 9Th
Connecticut volunteers, named Sam
uel Walker. After service of two
years, so the story runs, Walker was
taken prisoner by the confederates,
and as he did not return with his reg
iment, it was believed that he died at
Andersonville. In the catalogue of
Connecticut volunteers he is so re-
ported. No one in these parts ever
heard Of him afterward What was
the surprise of Walters old comrades
of the 9th regiment, then, when he
turned up III Hartford alive but by no
means well on Buckingham day
Walker, it appears, escaped from his
prison a few weeks prev -ous to the sur
render at Appomattox. lie kept to
the mountains, and, after undergoing
terrible priyations, reached Nashville,
Tenn, after the war has ended. He
was taken very sick, and fingered for
months. Finally recovering, he.went
to Kansas, and has lived there ever
since. For some reason he never
claimed his back pay, bounty. or com
mutation of ratiOns. There is a con
siderable sum due him, and he came
on here Buckingham day to procure
evidence to establish his identity so
that he can get his due and also pros

he is entitled. as he is completely

Charitable ladies of London are in
the habit of going to the tradesmen
with whom they deal and soliciting
goods for charitable purposes, which
they present in their own names.
The tradesmen are getting tired of the
arrangement. One of them says:
would it not be more to the point if
these enthusiastic ladies canvassed a
little among their own sex p And
why should we tradeSpeople be asked
to hide our charitable inclinations
under bushel in order that ladies of
high rank may fiaunt theirs in fancy
costumes?"
In a voyage from Rio Janeiro to
Bordeaux, two French savants care
fully investigated the quality Of sea
air. They found IN all Instances that
over the open sea, at a distance from
the vessel, the air was singularly free
from the multitude of organisms
which are found in land breezes. It
is now believed by these and other in
vestigatOrs that none of the germs of
al epidemic disease can cross an ocean
with the wind, but that all low forms
of life contained In il must soon reach
the water and die. Sea voyages are
now sometimes recommended on this
special ground.

but had no means of gratifying her
taste, her father having lost nearly all
his money sometime ago, So Bertha
got up a scheme worthy of Ferdinand
Ward himself. She told her mother
that number of friends of the fam

present her father with a house and
lot as surprise. They would not adj
NIT any of the family to the secret
except Bertha, but they wanted little
more money to complete the furnish

Westerfeld from time to time supplied
This noble scheme proceeded until
Bertha had got 81, 100 out of her
mother, but no house is forthcoming
and the family is now worse OFF than

took place the other day at Nismes.
Though there was 10000 spectators
present, the performers were Missed,
and three-fourth Of the lookers-on left
the circus before the close of the

describes the animals as having been

fend themselves, and as having been
slaughtered in the most revolving and
cowardly manner.

Woo len Manufacturers of the North

From the Portland (Orl We

From the Portland (Or.) West Shore
Twenty years ago 1t was an expert
ment to manufacture woolens for
even the home market in Oregon or
Washington. Some factories failed,
closed up and stood idle for Eve, ten,
fifteen or more years. Others pushed
on and succeeded Now the business
is established. Home goods supply
home and interstate demands. A few
firms have won wealth and fame as
pioneer wooden manufacturers. The
annual raw wool product of Oregon
and Washing ton has increased from
100000 to 100000 pounds, and over
one-sixth of it is woven here into
fabrics. The day of experiment is
passed for this industry. The time is
near for 1t to require large part OF
our home woods and many millions Of
foreign to feed the looms and fill the
orders. The immigrants will be great
consumers of these fabrics. The
Asiatics will require all they can buy
and pay for. Our position favors a
rapid increase of this business. Sup
pose its present pay roll for labor
alone to be $50, 600 per month, which
is a low estimate, the annual sum
would be $240, 900. Yet WOODEN
manufactures in Oregon and Wash
ington are in their infancy. They
can extend without limit, as raw
materials, skilled labor, food supply,
water power and growing markets all
invite them and assure their success
Another Theory of Sea-SIckness.
Dr. Foote'S Health Monthly.
The real cause and nature of sea-
sickness is yet a subject of debate
There are plenty OF theories or ex.
plantations, some very reasonable ones,
and the latest one presented also seems
reasonable, It is known that the soft
and sensitive cerebral mass, incased
in the cavity, or, in other words, the
brain moves about in this cavity to a
limited extent. It is therefore suggest
ed that the rapid succession of losses
which the brain receives when one is
travelling on a railroad or baat, causes
sort of fatigue of brain with q sensa-
ton of nausea and dizziness, Idue to the
bObbing about of the brain. It is
furthermore suggested that the fatigue
and headaches caused by carriage
riding are due to the same cause. The
brain is more sensitive sometimes
than others-more sensitive when
it is sick. There are some forms of
head ache, for instance in which the
slightest jar to the body produces an
aggravation of pain-doubtless because
the brain is so irritable as to be affect
ed by the slightest movement. It is
therefore probable that when the brain
is in a sensitive condition, the disease
is really made worse by the jostllng
of travelling. On this account there
are cases of nervous di1ease which,
while they might be benefited in
some ways by change of residence,
would really be aggravated by the
movement incident to travelling. So
sea-sickness is not always a : good
thing for you" as friends often say to
those about to travel.

WASHINGTON CRY, Oct IS Prof. Salmon,
h,et OF the II "a, au of a. imal industry,
IS lrepariny his .iIat report He says that
- u bureau can never hope to be per
Elslienuy successful until congress shall
dlVest itself Of the state-rights theory 50
Tar as to give the bureau adequate powers
TO era sicate contagious diseases among
animals The existing law gives the
barpan no authority whatever upon
that subject, all the provision
of that character having been eliminated
from it as a necessary condition of securing
the passage OF the law. Professor Salmon
says that the bureau has found, un-
fortunately, that contagious pleuro pneu
monia exists and is being rapidly spread
through the fine herds of the west, where 1t
had been supposed that it did not exist at all,
but that the bureau is powerless to check it.
Its only function is to investigate and report.
The bureau has discovered, after the
closest examination, that the laws of the
different states are not adequate to cope
with this disease, as has been claimed. There
are a dozen herds infected with con-
tagious pleuro pneumonia in the west. One
is In Kentucky, two in Ohio, and the rest in
Illinois They are the result of the transfer
Of one infected herd from Maryland to those
states. Professor Salmon does not think
that there is any hope of eradicating the dis
ease except by the cooperation Of congress.
