A RIP VAN WINKLE.
An Indiana soldier Receivers His Rea.
son Lost In War.

washington Letter.
A noticeable persouage among those
to be met along the avenue and in the
hotel lobbies of Washington during the
past few days has been an ex-soldier,
the circumstances of whose career
since the war have vested him with a
peculiar interest Early in 1862 he,
then a young man, enlisted at his
home in Southern Indiana, and was
assigned TO regiment that was active
ly engaged during the whole war The
young soldier made himself useful,
was always in the thickest OF the fray,
and was promoted to be an officer In
one OF the last battles fought before
the final surrender, while leading a
charge, the young captain was struck
in the head by a ball, and fell. His
soldiers, with whom he was great fa-
vOritc, carried him to the rear, where
he had every attention. Then he was
conveyed to Washington and placed in
one of the hospitals, and, after Il long
period OF suffering, his wounds healed,
but his reason had fled. lie was of
icially declared insane, and placed in
an asylum near Washington, where he
remained twenty years in this condi-
!ion. A few months ago his reason
returned, and he is to day as sane a
man as lives. He says the past is a
blank. He can scarcely comprehend
that he is not the same young man that
he was twenty ycarsa ago. lIchas found
some OF his comrades here, and these
have treated him with great kindness.
He can describe scenes and incidents
of the war with as much clcarncss rs
if they had taken place but Il few
months ago. Among the friends he
has recently made is cN-sccrctary of
war Lincoln, who became Interested in
his case, and has had his application
for pension made special by The com
missioner of Pensions, who also took
an interest in the matter, and within Il
few days he will receive $4,000 of
back pension money, with which he in
tends going into business.

A Georgia Samson.

Perhaps the strongest man in the
State is Mr.. Beussee, the blacksmith
at Mr.. T. E. Birchmore's shop, Max
eys. He is about six feet ten inches
high, stands erect, and his muscles
prominent. He stands and with one
hand raises a hundred and twenty
pound anvil out straight for a minute,
and takes q large cart wheel in one
hand by one spoke and holds it out
horizontally at arms length. On
hearing of his wonderful muscu-
lar power we went over to wit
ness some of this modern Samson's s
strength, and when we asked him
about it-"Yes," says he, II think I
am as strong as any man in this coun-
try. I can take this anvil and throw
it from here to that wagon Ia distance
of fifty yards) use the hammer with
my right hand, but I believe ] am
stronger in my left. Here, feel Of this
arm and the muscles; measure it ifyou
want to. When / used to shoe horses
1 never encountered one that /
couldn't manage. / could hold them
even if they were wild. l have never
found a man that was as stout in the
arms as am. Lexington Echo.

An Elaborate Piano.

Toronto Mail. One of the most
elaborate pianos ever made has just been
completed at New York for Mr.. George
Stephen, President OF the Canadian
Pacific Railroad Company. 1t was de-
signed by the Canadian architect who
planned Mr.. Stephens house at Mon
treal. The piano is built OF the satin
wood of South America, finished In
different styles, to produce contrasting
effects. The case proper Is made OF
nine pieces of satinwood veneerlng,
Glued together, to form one continuous
body, which reaches from corner to cor
ner.
This is laid off in panels, which are
inlaid with rare and costly woods OF
South America, and bright metal. One
panel contains Tyre, the frame OF
" hich is of tulip wood, and the strings
of metal. The vine that leads away
from it on either side has stems OF am
aranth, it's leaves of cocobola, and Its
leaf skeletons of glittering metal, while
the whole has snake wood border. A
sprig of oak has its acorn cups OF anna
ranth and its bulbs of metal, producing
the effect of nature. The legs OF the
instrument are like arched doorways OF
a palace. Each consists OF two col
umns of satin wood exquisitely carved
and inlaid, which come together at the
top to form an arch. The value OF the
instrument is 81, 900.

Eccentric People.
From the July Atlantic.

G1ohi LILO uiy huotte1S.
Half the people who are called eccen-
trio deserve to have much worse epi-
thet applied to them. Here and there
a man OF woman is found whose oddi--
ties of opinion and erratic conduct are
genuine, and the outcome of some real
inborn twist in their mental and moral
disposition. Such persons are gener-
ally tolerable, and sometimes very
ikable, their 1diosyncrasies serving as q
gentle entertainment rather than as an
annoyance to us. We feel that they are
quite unaware of their own queerness,
which is the result of native inca
pacity to comprehend the ordinary con-
ventions of society. But there are other
people whose eccentricities are not, OF
ought not, to be endured. They are not
innocently ignorant, but willfully dis
regardful of reign of law in the social
world. The worlds judgment are no
doubt superficial, and therefore very
commonly defective or false; but the
worlds conventions-that is, its rules
tacitly agreed on for the preservation
of the order and decency of social inter-
course-are, on the whole, respectable
and to be observed. But the unendur-
able Eccentric" prides himself upon
being law to himself in these matters.
He likes to know that his acquaint-
ances are saying of him, "Oh, that is
Mr.. BIS way, you know. He is not
like other people; he always does and
says just what he pleases." And the
notable fact is that so many persons
are imposed on by this absurd affecta-
ton that they will let certain behavior
pass for independence and originality
which is nothing but simple rudeness,
the expression of egotism and ill-breed'
ino

Bismarck's Children.
Moritz Busch in Harper's for July.

The Prince has three children-aa
daughter, the Countess Mary, who was
born in 1S48 and married about four
years ago to G 1T Rantzau, and two
sons, Counts H.. ert and William, both
of whom are younger than their sister
and unmarried. The former is in the
diplomatic service and has in his official
capacity been attached to several embas-
sizes and recently to that in London.
The latter, who bears a strong personal
resemblance to his father, has devoted
himself to the legal profession and has,
been member of the German parlia-
ment. Both served at first as privates
in the Dragon Guards in the last war,
during which the Prince evinced much
anexiety on their behalf, riding out af--
ter them as often as circumstances per-
mitted. Both of them work from tim g
to time in the immediate neighborhood
of the Prince, IN whose bureau his SON
in-law has also found employment. L
may mention, too, that the Prince is the
happy possessor of grandchildren, fine,
sturdy little fellows, the eldest of whom
occasionally pays visit at the grand
fathers palace, with the cap of the Yel-

ONE YEAR AGO,

From Every Other Saturday.
Last year, under the chestnut trees,
Under the chestnuts white,
Two of us walked, two OF us talked
Would it were SO tonight.
Two were the voices, tremulous, sweet;
Two were the heads bent low;
Two were the hands, together cle.sped,
One white as the f1ower-snow.
One yearl But year, when all is told,
Twelve months and day! No more;
Yet my footsteps flag, and my youth seems
old,
And my scared life feels fourscore.
Two were the hearts that together beat,
Two were the hearts, yet one;
Two were the figures that, interlaced,
Strolled, meath those trees, in the sun.
Those trees, those leaf-laden, bloom-strew-
ing trees,
That glorious sun of Junei
Now they strike the golden chords OF my
soul,
Sound sweet on it loves own tune.
Ah, leaves, ye fall, and grow green again,
Nor mourn for the spring time fled;
All, trees, ye bloom in another June,
But the life of my life is dead!

When the yacht Genesta sailed for
England from New York three OF her
crew-her steward, carpenter and one
seaman-refused to run the risk OF
crossing the ocean in her, and took
passage by steamer. They were so
strong in their fear of the passage that
threats by Capt. Carter to have them
arrested for desertion when they ar
rived at England, and that they would
forfeit their prize-money-about 500
each-could not induce them to re-
main on the yacht. Sir Richard SUIT
ton and all the gentlemen of the yacht
also returned by steamer. All her
sailors positively refused, earlier, to
go with her in racing rig, thereby forc-
ing her owners and captain to take
out her racing mast and smaller sails.
The men say that she cannot safely
scud in gale, and is compelled to lie
to and take it; that she buries, and is
liable to go under and never rise again
some time in a heavy sea; and that,
in short, the British type of racing
yacht is not seaworthy in the sense OF
being either dry, safe or comfortable
in heavy weather.

Denmark is almost in the throes of
revolution, from the attitude of the
King towards the popular branch of
the legislature. There are signs of an
open rupture between the King and
the people. Herr Berg, President of
the Danish Folkething, and two other
members of the Liberal majority,
have been sentenced to six months
Imprisonment for interfering with the
police at a political meeting.
Herr Berg is not only President of the
Folkething, or popular branch of the
national Parliament, but is one of
the two great leaders of the dominion
party. The Folkething may be de-
pended upon to push it's fight against
the Crown with even greater virulence,
and may very easily precipitate the
anarchy which has long seemed to be
overhanging Denmark. The fight is
the fight of the people against auto
Grassy, the common citizen against a
land-owning nobility; and in the long.
run the people must win, as they have
already won in Norway.

Judge; "and, besides, where could you
go? You have no home; your wife
won't recognize you any more, and
your friends pass by with horror and
disgust. Drinking has somewhat un-
balanced your mind, and I'll change
the complaint against you into insanity.
You will be better treated in an asylum
than in the workhouse. Officer, re-
move him."
"Please, Judge, will you let another
officer take him?" said Court Officer
Finn, whose eyes were filled with tears.
"Why can't you ?" said the justice.
"He was my general in the war, your
honor" said Finn, "and he was SO kind
to me that don't like to repay him in
this way, although I know it is done for
his good. He treated the men who
fought under him as he would his
brothers. and others will see that he
is properly cared for at the asylum"
The man was none other than Brig
Gen. Thomas w. Eagan, one of the
heroes in the battle of Gettysburg under
Gen. Meade. He was participant in
almost every battle at that time. At
the close of the war he was made an
internal revenue officer.
