She Wore the Steamer.

A Confederate officer during the war
captured Federal steamer in the Gulf
and brought it into Galveston. Federal
steamers were not so plentiful as the
gossip of the war would seem to indi-
cate; and this prize was to the officer
as the apple of his eye. Rs
Being called away to Red River he
left the steamer in charge of his wife
she had his power of attorney.
His Red River expedition did not turn
out satisfactorily. His troops were
overpowered with superior numbers and
badly beaten.
Their commander returned hastily to
get his steamer and secure reinforce
ments. On arriving in Galveston he
learned to his dismay that his steamer
was gone.
where's my wifep" he asked impa-
tiently of the servants.
'.She gone to Missy C.'s party, Mas.
sa, said the oldest and most faithful of
them.
Without stopping to dress, he hurried
to Mrs. C. s, covered with dust and mud,
and presented himself at the door.
He was shown in. His wife excused
herself to her cavalier.
what is the NATTER" she asked.
Where's my steamer. said the
officer in tones of suppressed excite
ment.

beautiful wife.

HE SAVED HIS LIFE.

General W. s. Harvey Tells How He Once
Saved Abraham Lincoln from Death.
Every schoolboy has heard of General
w. S. Harvey, the Indian fighter, and
will be glad to know that the old hero
still lives at the age of eighty-four, and,
with the exception of somewhat i'm
paired vision and slightly defective
memory, enjoys excellent health. He
is now on a little pleasure tour from his
home in st. Louis, and has just married
his housekeeper, Mrs. st. Cyr. Both OF
his daughters are married and living in
France One of them married Count
de None, of the French army, and the
other, Viscount de Thury, French
gentleman. The son of the General
lives in ST. Louis. IL was in command
in Missouri when the war broke out, y

there would have been no bloodshed in
that State; but / never blamed Mr.. Lin
coin, for he and were old friends. So
much political pressure was brought to
bear upon him by Frank p. Blair and
others that suppose he had to relieve me.
And yet" continued the General smil-
ing, ''Mr. Lincoln never saw me without
reminding me that l once saved his
lfe."
"How was that, General" -
swell, said the General laughing.
Mr.. Lincoln was Captain of a company
of volunteers, and was Captain of
company of regulars during the Black
Hawk war. / remember well how Cap
tain Lincoln used to come to our rendez-
yous, General Taylor's headquarters,
and tell stories that amused us inn
mensely. He used to lie on the grass
and very frequently would say: ''That
reminds me-" and begin funny story.
Zone day Lincoln said to me: Il say,
Harvey, let's pick out four or five shots

A NIGHT BY THE NILE.



One night, after reaching Shellal
writes correspondent from the Nile, l
had set out alone to walk along the
banks and across bit of desert in order,
if possible, to get a near view of the
rapids under bright moonlight. Emerg-
ing from dense palm grove, where
Egyptian soldiers were lying about en-
joying the cool night air, my path for
some distance followed the river bank,
by which dozens of trading craft were
moored, the long bent yards of their
latent sails sharply defined against the
clear sky, and their swarthy, white
robed crews lying asleep among sacks
of grain under the wide-spreading
branches of acacia, lebbekh, or syca-
more fig-trees. Then it swept round
the mud walls of an Arab village, outside
which groups of women were passing the
hours after truly feminine fash
ion in gossiping and shrill laugh
ter, and then it became lost for a
time in the desert sand. Still there was
the rush of water to guide one. Pres
emily that was merged in sound louder
and more weird-at first something like
the monotonous wall of mourners at an
Irish wake it seemed-then grew into
groans mingled with subdued shrieks.
BY the riverside one would have been at
no loss to account for this strange
music; but in the midst of sandhills one
does not expect to come across the
creaking, granting skayeyeh. or wooden
wheel for raising water. There it is,
however, on high rock, and the bullock
is walking round and round at its me-
chanical toll, of which there seems to be
no cessation night or day. The wheel
seemed to be set up there for the simple
purpose of irTigating a half-acre patch
of scant maize, but whence the water
came remains mystery to me yet.
Less than quarter of an hour of brisk
walking brought me to the river again,
where it ran between high cliffs of huge
black granite. Travellers ancient and
modern have told how the thunder of
this cataract often deafened people living
a league or two from it. I am afraid
these writers must have INDUCED in
license that is the privilege of trav-
elers and poets. This night, at any
rate, the rapids roared as gently as any
sucking dove. Far from being loud as
the boom Of waves against English
cliffs, its noise would have been drowned
by the rush of an ordinary moorland
torrent in flood. The strength of a Nile
current, however, can no more be judged
by its boisterousness than the force of
human passion can. When it flows most
silently it is often swiftest and most
dangerous. The rapids between Phile
and Assouan do not break into foam and
buster like fretting burn, but rush
over hidden rocks with a scarcely per-
ceptible swell. Therein lies such danger
as the boats sent out for this expedition
may have to encounter, but where a
heavy diabyah or clumsy nuggah can
go these vessels of incomparably lighter
draught will not be likely to sustain
much damage, even if it be absolutely
necessary to take them through CATS
racts,-London Standard, g

When Major Converse was laying out
the line of the Galveston, Harrisburg Il

days in obtaining the right of way

There was considerable opposition on
the part of some of the citizens to grant
ing the right of way unless they received
extraordinary remuneration.
Among those who regarded the rail
road as a nuisance was a hard-faced
widow of about fifty years of age, who
owned a small farm. She said that if
she was not compelled to have hundred
dollars right off She would fight the COM
pany until certain warm place froze

says: -----------
Now, the fact is, we are all little
tired of that prig and <Aristides among
insects, the little busy bee. We have
heard his virtues praised by poets, NOR
alists and men of science, till we are
all burning to ostracise him forthwith,
for the sake of never more hearing him
called Industrious and intelligent. He
and his self-righteous cousin, the ant,
are in fact pair of egregious Phari-
saical humbugs, who have made a vir-
tue of their own excessive acquisitive-
ness, and have-induced Solomon, Vir-
gil, DR.. Watts, and other misguided
human beings to acquiesce far too read
lily in their preposterous claims, For
my own part, never was more pleased
in my life than when Sir John Lubbock
conclusively proved by experiment that
they were both extremely stupid and
uninventive insects, with scarcely a
faint glimmering of brotherly love or
any other good ethical quality.
The wasp,s though undoubtedly an
irascible and Unbalanced creature, and
chauvinist of the fiercest description,
is yet a person of far more width of
mind and far wider range of experience
in his own way than the borne and
conventional bee. His taste, in fact
Qike the taste of that hypothetical per-
son, the general reader), is quite ON
nivorous: while he does not refuse
meat, he has an excellent Judgment in
the sunny side of peaches, and he can
make meal at pinch off the honey
in more than one Kind of wasp-speciaf-
lied flower. But the peculiar likes and
dislikes of wasps have produced Curl
GUS effect upon the shape and hue of
the blossoms which owe their traits to
these greedy and not very aesthetic in
sects. Your bee has long proboscis
and keen sense of color: so the
flowers that lay themselves out on his
behalf store their honey at the end of =
long tube, and rejoice in brilliant blue
or crimson or purple petals. Your
wasp, on the other hand, in his matter
of-fact Philistine fashion, cares for none
of these things; he asks only plenty
of honey, and no foolish DISTINCTIONS
in the way of getting it. Accordingly,
wasp-fowers are remarkable for hav-
ing helmet-shaped tube, exactly fitted
to q wasp's head, with abundant honey
filing the bottom of the bell, while in
color they are generally peculiar livid
reddish brown, more or less suggestive
of butchers shop.
