The Yonth WHO IEnew L All.


Tho youth had been patronizing the
young ladies by vouchsafing choice bits
Of superior wisdom. according TO the
statement of the Boston Transcript.
.'You remember what Cesar said when
he was about TO cross the Rubiconp"
said the old gentleman. Certainly"
replied the youth, with careless glance
OF pity at the young ladies, who, OF
course, could not be expected to know
everything that man knows. ''And
OF course you are equally familiar with
the life OF Peter the Hermit" contin-
ued the old gentleman. II should say
that ! was. replied the young man,
quickly, but not without slightly
troubled look in his face. 'sAnd Semira-
milc.p tho old gentleman went on,
'.you recall his famous sayingP" Yes. /"
gaspcd the youth, wishing that the old
gentleman might be struck with apo
plexy as soon as convenient. IL am
glad you remember it. said the old
gcntlcman, with animation, '.for I've
clean forgotten it. Now, If you'll be
kind enough, and no doubt the ladies
would be glad to hear it Also
The youth by this time wished that
the old gentleman had died in infancy,
and rs for the young ladies, he couldn't
help thinking how much better it would
have been had they never been born.
.'By tho way" pursued the old gentle
man. seeing the youth hesitate, "who
was Semiramidep He had something
to do with tho last Franco Prussian war
hadn't hePn Eyes, oh yes, replied tho
youth, catching at the bait with eager
ness, while something like a giggle
was passed around among the young
ladies, as if it were paper OF caramels.
''And Peter the Hermit was instrument
al in bringing about q peace at the
close of that struggled" Eyes" The
youth said this very family. Caesar
held out and marched his shattered
force into the Wallachian principalityP"
That's the way / remember il, y re-
piled the youth, with desperation
born of despair. Then the old gentle
man looked at the young ladies, who
were engaged in stut1ing their mouths
full of pocket-handkerchief, and then
he looked at the youth and exclaimed:
''Ah, sir, how envy you your store Of
knowledge! What q comfort you must
be to your parents!' Then the youth
got up and went out into the cherries
night, and cursed the old gentleman
behind his back. And the young ladies
laughed in unison, but the noise of
their laughter was overborne by the
merry peals of the old gentleman.

The Mysterious Bag.

Make two bags, each about a foot
long and six inches wide of some dark
material. and sew them together at the
edge, so that one may be inside the
other. Next make number of pock-
cts, each with cover to it, which may
be fastened down with button and
loop. Place these about two inches
apart, between the two bags. sewing
one side of the pocket to one bag and
the other side to the other. Make Sits
through both bags about an inch long,
just above the pockets, so that you can
put your hand in the bags; and, by in
serting your thumb and finger through
these Sits, you may obtain entrance to
the pockets and ing out of them
whatever they may contain. 1t is, of
course, necessary that = variety of ar
ticles should be put in the pockets.
Before commencing the trick you may
turn the bag inside out any number Of
times, so that your audience may con-
clude that it is quite empty. You can
then cause to appear or disappear any
number of articles of u light nature,
much to the amusement of your audi
apce .

On the banks of the Chattahoochee
river near Atlanta, Ga, and just on the
outer edge of the confederate earth
works, there stands an old-fashiOned
log-house of superior style, which has
quite a curious history. 1t was built in
1885 by a Cherokee chief, who planted
around it large number of apple.
trees, which are now over sixty feet
high. and bear fruit luxuriantly. As
the whites encroached from the south
the Indians were forced north, until be-
tween this house and the site of the
present city of Atlanta ran the line
which marked the Cherokee boundary.
In the quaint old house several import
an: conferences took place between the
whites and the Indians. Many years
. later the Indians were pressed further
north, and the old house fell into
tn" possession of young Scotchman
named George Edwards, who had lived
in Philadelphia. Edwards was of
sentimental turn of mind, and although
he had money enough to build a fine
house he preferred the historic building
of which he had become the owner,
looking upon it rs the connecting link
with Il race whose history was in OBJ
scurity. In 1850 he went to Scotland,
where he was married, and on his return
to Atlanta he inducted his bride into
the Indian homestead.
When Sherman marched upon At
lanta the old house stood between the
two lines, and was alternately occupied
as headquarters by both armies. The
first approach of the federal army de-
veloped strange coincidence. The
two federal scouts stealthily approached
the house. and appeared as terrible
ogres to the affrighted Mrs. Edwards.
A few inquiries soon developed the fact
that the two young scouts were the
sons of Mr.. Edwards brother, in Phila-
delphia, and the lady was their aunt.
In this house, subsequently,. Gen. Joe
message was handed him, signed by
Jefferson Davis, President" notifying
him that he was suspended from the
command of the western forces, and
that Gen. Bragg would succeed him.
Other incidents are connected with the
building, but only one more need be
told.
Several years after the war Mr.. Ed
wards, in walking over his farm, kicked
up skull. Picking it up he carried it
to his wife, who placed it temporarily
on the window ledge by the bed, and in
the fulfillment of other duties forgot
the presence of the ghastly relic. That
night when in bed she had a terrible
experience. She imagined she could
hear someone walking around the house
moaning piteously. Sometimes the
footsteps were rapid and nervous, then
slow and meditative. After while
The walker stepped up on the porch,
and in walking up and down would
pause an instant at the window. Then
.he door latch was lifted, the door was
thrown open, and there stood federal
soldier fully equipped, but without a
lead.
81 want my head" said the figure in
! 'epulchral tones.
Here it is,' said the dreamer, and
Mrs. Edwards woke to find herself
sitting up in bed with the skull in her
,utstretched hands, as if offering it to
