In the last few weeks of the war a
Confederate, serving under Lee, wrote
home to his father that he was almost
barefooted and completely discour-
aged. As soon as the old man re-

mule and set off at gallop, but soon
halted by an acquaintance, who
called out
"Hello! has there been another

"Not as I've heard of, but I've got
a letter from Cyrus"
"What does Cyrus say?"
"He's out O. butes and clean dis

"Down to Abncr Smiths to bor-
row 100000 to send to Cyrus
to get cheap pair of shoes; and

dispatch and safety in the running
of railway trains. 1t was invented
by one, +. II. Tyler, and is being
tested on some of the Eastern roads.
It's an apparatus resembling the

During the campaign a Cincinnati
cigar dealer offered prizes for the
customer making the nearest guess
to the number of votes the successful
candidate for President would re-
ceive. The number Of guesses ran
up into the thousands, and varied in
figlres hundreds of thousands, but
the approach to exact accuracy in
some cases was remarkable. Cleve-
lands exact vote, which is reported
by the Secretaries of State at a, 4,S72, ITO,
was, of course, named by no one, but
Mr.. A. II. Payne came within one Of
it, his number being 4,S72,1SG. One
guesser missed it by three, another
by nine, and three by twelve. There
were $50 guesses that came within
100 of being correct, and thirty-four
were only sixty-nine of.

England!s Queen.

Queen Victoria is out sixty,five
years old; she is tolerably robust
old lady, and her chances of living
twenty years longer are, by all ac-
counts, pretty nearly as good as those
of Albert Edward himself. When the
Prince of Wales, supposing him to
survive his royal mother, becomes
Edward VII, King of Great Britain
and Ireland and Emperor of India,
he will very probably be a grand
father, and may even be greatt-grand,,
father, though that isn't likely; and
before Albert Victor has served his
apprenticeship as Prince of Wales and
ascends the throne as Victor L,
England will certainly have grown
very much older and doubtless
much more democratic. Perhaps
there will be no throne in England
for him to ascend,

A new mechanical cotton picker is
said to be an entire success. Com
missioners appointed on behalf of
the New Orleans Exposition have
followed the machine in the field,
and record their official opinion that
one picker, carefully driven, drawn
by one mule, and followed by three
cleaners will do the work of forty
pairs of human hands. The flying
metallic fingers pluck only the full
blown cotton. The plants are unin-
jured. The fiber thus plucked is au-
tomatically bagged.

What Is Dynamite9
From the PHILADELPHIA News.

From the Philadelphia News.
Nitro-glycerine is prepared by the
action of a mixture of concentrated
nitric and sulphurc acids upon
glycerine introduced drop by drop.
Dynamite is made by filling some
absorbent with nitro-glycerine. The
best article for this purpose is a
silicious infusorial earth found in
Hanover. 1t will absorb three times
its weight of the nitro-glycerine.
1t produces three times as much
gas and twice as much heat as gun
powder. 1t may be exploded by a
primer charged with fifteen grains of
Illuminating mercury-like percus-
sion cap.

A Rastlesuake'. Ia,olua,ary Chase

Mrs. John White. living few miles
from Hawley. Pa. went out on the hills
near her house few days ago to look
the huckleberry barrens over and see
what the prospect was for the berry
season. While standing at the side Of
an old road she heard a rattlesnake
sound its rattle Immediately behind her,
and then felt tug at the skirt Of her
dress. She looked around quickly, and
saw that big rattlesnake had struck
at her, and that its fangs were fast in
the bottom of her dress skirt Mrs.
White started on q run for home. The
snakes fangs were so securely fastened
in the dress that the snake was carried
along. Mrs. White ran so fast that
the rattlesnake was whipped and tossed
about like the tail of kite.
The distance to the house was quar-
ter of mile, and when Mrs. White
reached her door she was so much
overcome by exhaustion and fright
that she tainted on the steps. Her
daughter ran to her assistance. When
she saw the snake, with its teeth fast
in her mothers dress, she did not stop
to investigate matters further, but ran
screaming to neighbor's half a mile
away. She supposed that the snake
had bitten her mother and killed her,
and so announced when she reached
the neighbor's.
A man ran back to Mrs. White. She
had recovered sufficiently to crawl in
to the house. The snake was still fast
in her dress, but was dead. The thrash
ing on the stones and against the
ground that it had received had beaten
the life out of it. The snake was four
feet long and had seven rattles.-M Y.
