sing the song she knew he loved, there
was solemn hush in the room, and
every eye was filled with tears. Even
the rough, old surgeon, as he cut away
the bloody bandages, was seen to turn
away his head and hastily draw his
sleeve across his eyes number of
times; and the steward was hardly
able to distinguish his instruments.
Under the soothing effect of his moth
er's voice the boy allowed the wound
to be dressed and the cruel stitches to
be taken. Later IN the day he dropped
asleep and awoke considerably re-
freshed. He was accomplishing
through it all; and the fortitude with
which he bore his sufferings excited
the admiration of every one.
In the cool of the evening Charley
was taken home in an ambulance, sent
for that purpose from the fort. The
officers old everything in their power
to atone for the suffering they had so
carelessly but unintentionally caused.
The surgeon and his assistants attend
ed him tenderly and carefully until
he was well. The surgeon
offered to procure his mother a
pension, but Mrs. Cages declined, say
ing that she was toe thankful that her
boy was alive to think of asking aid
from the Government. Charley was
soon able to walk with Il the aid of
crutches, but could not dispense with
their use for many months.
as Mrs. Cages, now an aged woman,
loves to tell Of those perilous times.
One of her daughters, q lady of rare
qualities, fills one Of the highest posi-
.tions allowed to her sex in the Govern
ment departments in Washington.
She has in her little cabinet at home
the very piece Of she'll which did its
cruel work that day. Il is rusty, and
whom picked UP was blood stained.

to hear an argument from him. At
the time appointed for the session of
the Circuit Court Wilson appeared
agreeable to his recognizance. A mo-
ton was made by Wilson's counsel for
change of venue, founded on the affi-
davits Of Wilson and two other men.
The Court thereupon removed the case
to Saline county. The Sheriff Of ulaski
never confined Wilson one minute, but
permitted him to go where he pleased,
without guard or any restraint imposed
on him whatever. On his way to Saline
he entertained him freely at his own
house, and the next day delivered HIM
over to the Sheriff of that county, who
conducted the prisoner to the debtors
room in The jail, and gave him the key,
50 that he and everybody else had free
egress and ingress at all times. Wilson
INVITED everybody to call on him, as he
said he wished to see his friends, and his
room was crowded with visitors, who
called to drink grog and laugh and talk
with him. But this theatre was not
sufficiently large for this purpose. He
afterward visited the am-shops, where
he freely treated all who would partake
with HIM, and went fishing and hunting
with others at pleasure, and entirely
without restraint. He also ate at the
same table with the Judge while on
trial. IT,

County Bonds.

The County Commissioners yesterday met to
sign she bonds of the $780, 600 issue recently au-

official signatures. There are to be 200 fifteen
year bonds, with thirty coupons to each, and 200
twenty-year bonds each having forty coupons,
making in all $4,000 coupons for the auditor to

hand, and to relieve him of the tedious task on
this account, the commissioners gave him per-
mission to have his signature engraved on the
coupons; but this has to be attested by the writ

has been calculating on the number of coupons

But several causes interviewed to delay this &C

Dynamite had been put under the window of Garry

front of theiplace generally disturbed. The shock
also broke the windows on the Allen street side of

Festival of st. Stephens Free Sewing
School


The festival Of st. Stephens free sewing
school the oath inst. notwithstanding the Sc
we're snow storm was very pleasant one
Thirty-seven little girls between the ages Of
fifteen and four years. were present and exhi-
bited their skill and improvement in sewing
with the needle, not only patch work. but va
rious articles of wearing apparel, (which was
fine, and would have done credit to children
OF larger growth) from two till four o'clock
when they laid aside their sewing, and sang
their beautiful songs accompanied by the music
OF the organ. After which they rested awhile
and had amusements. Mrs. Cole the princi-
pal and several young lady assistants then led
the children two by two to the supper room
over the vestry, where long table was spread,
and seated forty-eight little girls without con-
fusion or noise. 1t was beautiful sight to
see such beautiful little girls, so gentle and
quiet, partaking with so much delight OF the
bountiful supply of dainties spread upon the
tables. Hot milk and water, hot biscuits and
doughnuts, frosted cup cakes and several
kinds OF frosted cakes, corn beef and pickles
and bags Of sorted candies, oranges and corn
balls, were served to each Of the children by
the several assistants and principal. At an
opposite table sat those interested in the school
among whom was the rector and his good wife,
Rev. Mr.. and Mrs. Dalton and others number
ing in all seventy. Eve lads between five and
ten years of age, sat at another table. After
the supper the children marched orderly be-
low, and sang in concert, then two little sis
ters sang and then the children spoke their
pieces, which was admirably done, then the
rector addressed them in fitting words, and the
superintendent of the Sabbath school, Sawyer
Sylvester came in and was afforded time to
address some timely words, finishing with a
story Of commendation, when all joined in the
Lords prayer, followed byIprayer by the rector,
and all departed for home apparently happy.
Four years ago this school numbered six, two
OF whom sisters still attend and were present.

The Legality of Limited Tickets.
o1Nvrrrx,1s.., r.. % FOOr


A young man who boarded the East bound
passenger train at Lewiston yesterday
afternoon attempted to test the
legality of limited tickets-or the mettle Of
our genial friend, Conductor Anderson-per-
haps both. The young man had limited
ticket from Boston to Skowhegan, which by
its terms expired Saturday, Jan. "a. When
Mr.. Anderson demanded his fare, he produced
this ticket-thsn dead two days longer than
Lazarus-and which even the kind-hearted Of
fetal was powerless to restore to life. The
young man had evidently prepared himself for
a contest, for he stoutly refused to pay his
fare, saying he had paid once and wouldn't
again. After consulting the superintendent by
telegraph, Mr.Anderson secured the services OF
attorneys, Messrs. Merrill & Coffin Of Skowhe-
gan, who were ready on arrival of the train
with warrant and officer. The young man was
in charge OF H. II. Tufts, Esq, over night and
was very determined and declared his purpose
to test the question in the highest tribunal.
This morning he wisely, though rather lats,de-
cided to plead guilty, and was fined by Justice
Bacheller, $500 and costs In the end he
paid $1354, while he might have got off with
"Jossph" for S315. Probably he saw counsel,
and learned that he didn't know so much
more than Mr.. Anderson as he thought at first.

ProvidentiaI ,Di.pensations.

NhOcklAnu OOuf1er-dazette.l
The inhabitants Of Long Island, near Mt.
Desert, are all fishermen, and depend for sub
sistence upon the hnny inhabitants Of the bri-
ny deep, the ensnaring of these inhabitants
being their sole occupation. These people are
poor, and il at any season they are unfortunate
in their business, actual want and need con-
front them. About six years ago this proved
to be the case.
The seasons fishing proved an utter failure.
and when the cold storms Of winter debarred
the hardy toilers of the sea from the fishing
grounds, the little community was on the verge
Of starvation. While their need was sorest, a
coasting vessel, loaded with provisions, was
wrecked on the shore, and the provisions saved
from the wreck made the destitute people conn
Portable for the winter.
From that season until the season lust passed
the fishing business has been good, and the in
habitants OF Long Island have been prosperous
and happy.
Last seasons fishing, however, proved fail
1re, and again the gaunt wolf knocked at
Long Island doors. Again the waves proved
friendly, and about thirty days ago second
vessel, provision laden, was tossed up on the
Long Island shore. Nine hundred pounds of
lard, large quantities of pork, and a number OF
barrels OF flour were saved from the wreck.
The goods have been advertised the required
thirty days, and are now the property Of the
finders. The vessel, name unknown, was sold
for $40.
