La year a justice OF the peace Of the stats
OF Maryland, for the county Of Allegheny, in
an outlying III -trict, In order to give his en-
TIRE attention to his legal business, rented a
fam lie owned, agreeing to take the rental
out Of the products Of the soil. When he
came TO fettle with the tenant a few month";
ago, a controversy as to the division Of the
crops arose, grew to a dispute, and ended in
a pitched battle. the jurtics getting the
worst of 1t in the shape of a pounding with a
fence, stake. He left without ~1ettling the
matter in dispute, being too mad to talk.
His choler did not fall with tho healing OF his
physical bruises, but rather rose higher. and
he finally issued his warrant for the arrest
of the tenant, to answer the charge of as
sault and battery, and docketed a civil suit
for damages, making both returnahle to h1s
own court on the same day.
The day arrived and with it the con table

But the richest experiences Of this kind"
said a railroad man, "were In the army. I
remember an old locomotive down in
Georgia that got more fellows into more
scrapes than II 1t had been a forty-horse
power monkey. The Con'ederates, when
they retreated south Of the Tenpesses on the
Nashville & Chattanooga road. burned the
railroad bridges and ran OF the rolling
stock. locomotives were soon pulling heavy
trains down to the river, but there wera
none ON the south side. and Rosecrans
wanted one mighty bad.
~In scouting around the mouth OF the old
Nicko Jack cave at Shell Mound a lot of us
found an old locomotive that had been
thrown heels up, a. 1t were, down the cave
entrance. We had an old-fashionsd log
rolling sort OF a time In getting the engine
out, and then all the engineers In the com
mand devoted a week or more TO putting the
machinery in place and in order. At last
cnme the trial trip and the whole brigade
gathered TO see the rejuvsnated locomotive
move off.
THE Toys fired up with great enthusiasm
and at the proper time took their places as
though the occasion was almost too big for
them. The wheels moved and 1000 men

started and the army south Of the Tennessee
had at last a locomotive, and eventually be-
came as proud Of old wheezer as any battery
in the service. In the course OF time the en-
CINE was put to work to draw a few cars be-
tween Shell Mound and Bridgeport And
here came in the fun.
THE old locomotives acted very much as
would a capricious army mule. For days at
a time all would go well. Then some day
when there would be a hundred or more men
on the rough cars, the old wheezer would
stop midway between stations and we would
have to foot it into camp. Or everything
would go we'll until some day when we were
running up toward Chattanooga, and the
rebels would be nosing around. the old ma
chine would stop stone still. At such times
l have seen the mon get down and push the
train along by main force.
o one occasion Of this kind, when half
the men were pushing and tho other half
were watching the rebels, the old locomotive
quit wheeling and, suddenly getting her
grip, started at full speed. The engineer
wa7 afraid to stop her, and the boys ran
after, believing that the speed couldn keep

THE OLD STAGE e



rElla Wheeler Wilcox
Back IN her box by the curtains studded
: She sits above, by the house unseen.
Her eye Is dim and her cheek is faded.
She that once was thu peoples Queen.
The curtain rolls up, and abe sees before har
A vision Of beauty and youth and grace;
All no wonder all hearts adore her,
Slver-throated and fair Of face.
Out Of her box she leans and listens:
OF Is 1t with pleasure or with despair
That her THU cheek palss, and her dim eye
giistens
While that fresh young voice sings the
the grand old afri
She Is back again in her Pasts bright splen-
dor
When life was worth living and love Wal
a truth,
Ere Time had told her she must surrender
Her double dover Of fame and youth.
1t Is she herself who stands there singing
To that sea OF faces, that shines and stirs;
And the cheers ON cheers that 20 up ringing
And rousing the echoes, are hers, all hers.
Just for one moment the sweet deiusIon
Qnickens her pulses, and blurs her sight,
And wakes within her that wild confusion
or joy that is anguish, and fierce delight
Then the curtain goes down. and the lIghta
are cleaning
Brightly DER circle and box and stall;
She starts like a sleeper who wakens from
dreaming
That she lies under a funeral pail.
Her day is dead, and her star descended,
Never to rise or shine again,
Her reign Is over, her queenship ended,
A new name Is sounded and sung by men.
All the glitter and glow and splendor,
All the glory Of that lost day,
With the friends that seemed true and the
love that seemed tender,
Why, what Is 1t all but a dead bouquet
She rises to go; has the night turned COLDER
The new Queen answers to call and shout,
And the old Queen looks back over her
shoulder,
As, all unnoticed, she passes out.

NEW ORLEANS TRENCH MARKET

A Remarkable Sort OF Place-An National
tiles Representative Hurry.
IGOR. Louisville Courier-Journal.l
We took in the French market before
breakfast Il is a remarkable sort of place,
but to me was rather disappointing. Maybe
that was because after seeing 80 many
inc~ongruvial things about this town the
edge Of the quaintness wears of, and you
cease to enjoy 1t so much This market Is
a kind of bazaar Of all nations, and is
really a sort of exposition itself. /
saw a great many things for sale whose uses
] had not the faintest idea of. There were
great quantities of vegetables, many Of
which were unknown TO me, even by name,
but all looked fresh and tempting. These
people cannot dine without some kind Of
salad. and the demand for lettuce, and such
like vegetables, is very great But strangely
enough, ! have not been able to find a single
spray OF watar-cress, and at soma OF the
places where we have inquired for 1t the
wait srs seemed never TO have heard Of it at
ALL | would suppose that It would grow
here AMI be in season all the year round.
But green peas and radishes seem to be plen-
tiful, and are very fine, though the radishes
are quite small
In this French market there were Hindoos,
and Egyptians, and Cinnamon, and Italians,
and Jews, and ~Spaniards, and Mexicans, and
Turks and Indians-in short, pretty much
all the tribes Of earth-with their wares on
sale; but nobody seemed anxious to sell any
thing except the Jews an Indians. Two
Indian women sat on tho ground, one on
each side, at the entrance to ono Of the pass
ways through the market house. Each OF
them had a little bag of some dirty yellow
powdered stuff that looked like -four OF sui
phur. The bags sat on the ground beside the
hays, and each OF them had "a peculiarly
shaped horn spoon in her hani. They APP
peared to be rivals in business, but / could
not see that either Of them made any effort
to encourage custom. People would come
up. sometimes to one. sometimes to the
other, and hand in a piece of money. In re-
turn the old woman would ladle out a spoon
full OF the yellow stuff, and the purchaser
would go away. Not Il word would be said
by either, and not an expression of ~satisfac-
ton, on the contrary, would appear on the
face of either OF the old women. Now and
then, though, they would look furitively at
each other with keen glancss out of their lit
tie black eyes that made me think OF snakes
But nobody seemed TO be in "a hurry, and.
with the exception l ave mentioned, no
body seemed to care whether they did any
business or not The matter Of selling any
thing here seems TO be purely u thing in
dulged in out of courtesy to the purchaser
ANYHOW.

MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich, March IL
A week ago Mrs. Charles Bollenson, a
woman of 20, suddenly expired, it was
supposed OF heart disease. Her death
was announced, and the funeral took
place Tuesday. The life-like appearance
ofthe body excited much comment, which
increased rather than diminished after
burial. Finally the interest grew so in
tense hat it was thought best to disinter
the body. This was accomplished
Thursday afternoon. the body having been
in the grave two days and two nights. 1t
still bore the same life-like appearance.
It was placed in a room in which the
temperature has been kept steadily at 75o.
Not the slightest indication of decompo-
sition is apparent, and physicians declare
themselves unable to determine whether
Mrs. Bollenson is dead OF alive. The
case has created much excitement.

An important part of the Buddhist creed
is the belief in the alienation of periods OF
repose with the periods Of activity. As man
sleeps every twenty-four hours, and vsgeta.
tion subsidies and revives with the seasons.
so rest periods follow each incarnation. The
tide wave OF humanity flows on to each Of
the seven planets seven times, and passes
through its ssven races and GIBBS away again,
but the great rest period OF our planetary
chain does not begin until the seventh round
Of humanity Is perfected At an incalcula-
bly, remote period the whole OF the seven
planetary chains OF our solar system will
pass into a period OF rest, and finally the
whole universe itself will have its great
cosmfc night.
