THE JOKE K OF KDL K SOLD1EFSS. How a Pennsylvania Private RrOkt
 Up Card Playing in His Tent.

From the Wellsboro Agitatorl We were lying ill winter quarters and had days and days of nothing to do. I did not play cards, but my tentmate did. He also had three special friends who played, and their meeting place was in my tent. There they met day after day-in the morning, in the afternoon and in the evening until late at night. Our tent was built for permanent quarters. In one end we made door eight cen inches wide by three feet high. On the opposite side was fireplace built outside oi small sticks like stone work, and covered inside with clay mortar
 The boys, as usual, were at their cards. took a friend into my counsels, and we pro- cured shell which had blown the load out without bursting We fastened into this shell a long fuse. I then told my friend tc go away several rods to an empty dry goods box, and strike upon it so as to make il sound like the booming of distant cannon
 ''Hark!'' said one; "dyou hear that? That: from Lees battery on the left. We may have other business than card playing by daylight"
 Just then "boom!" went the old dry goods box and instantly I dropped the shell with the burning fuse, down the chimney. The shell fell upon the fire and rolled under the bunk on which the boys were sitting. "Tch -tch-tch-" went the burning fuse. The boys thought it message direct from Lees battery. Two tried to jump through the door at the same time, and blocked up the narrow door so that neither able to get out A full evacuation of the tent was final ly effected and retreat made-not, how. ever, in good order. No one was killed; but the boys waited behind distant trees for more than thirty mortal minutes momentarily ex pecting to see the tent blown to atoms. Af ter awhile these heroes came together, an6 in the council of war they held on the iele of fright it was decided that they had beer the victims of fraud. But there was nt more card playing in my tent.

At recent meeting of the Boston Society for Medical Observation Dr. Folsom cited
 the vital statistics of Massachusetts for forty
 years, as showing dec1ease in. the number
 of deaths from consumption in that State.
 Only about one-sixth of the total death rate
 is now caused by the disease. The doctor
 thought physicians were too much inclined
 to give unfavorable prognostics in such cases, and he advised keeping patients quiet
 ly in one place rather than shifting them
 about in search of more favorable climate
 A Pittsburg writer makes the assertion
 that in fifty years, or perhaps in half that time, coal will not be carried from the mines

A Little Girl's Petition.

The Louisville Journal says: One
morning the personal mail of General
Black, Commissioner of Pensions, con-
tanned letter from little girl of four
teen years, whose father, Republican,
is President of the Board of Examining
Surgeons in a Western town, and she
was afraid he would be removed. She
said her father was in the army; that he
brought home with him after the war
was over disease from which he had
not recovered, and which would ulti-
mately prove fatal to him; that he was
a "good papa," and she asked General
Black not to discharge him. She en-
closed postal card addressed to herself.
and said: "My papa does not know
that 1 am writing this letter-if he did
he might not like it; SO if you grant my
request please make a big X on the
back of this postal card. Nobody but
me will know what it means; but l
shall know that my papa will not be dis
charged" The letter received General
Blacks personal attention. 81 have re-
ceived your little letter" he said in..reply,
sand have read it with interest. 1 will
file it carefully away, and when I come
to take up for action the matter of the
reorganization of the Board of Examin-
ing Surgeons at, I will give it just
as careful consideration as would like
to have given to letter from my little
girl, written under the same circum-
stances. If your papa is good man,
a good surgeon, and faithful officer, l
will try and keep him."

How to Tell Pure Butter.

DR.. Taylor, the microscopist of the
Department ofAgriculture, read paper
before the Microscopical Society of
Washington, descriptive of his recent
discoveries in examining butter
and its various limitations. He finds
that crystals of pure butter, when
fresh, have globular or elIipsoidal form,
and that with certain ad-
iustment of the polarizer each globe
or ellipse discloses well-defned st.
Andrews cross, which revolves as the
polarizer is turned. The crystals of
butterine, oleomargarine and of beef or
swine fats are of stellar form. They do
not revolve with the polarizer, nor do
they show the st. Andrews cross. The
crystals of butter which is not fresh or is
of inferior quality, present roseate
form, generally four lobed, and revolve
with the turning of the polarizer. 1t
was found necessary, as preliminary
to the experiments, that all the samples
be boiled for the purpose of crystallizing
their fatty acids. DIR. Taylor is prepar-
ing pamphlet embodying the results
of his experiments, which he believes
will furnish certain means of detecting
the difference between butter and any
imitation or adulterated compound.

An English Dandy.

Mr.. Guy Mannering, an ex-oficer OF
the British army, now living in Chicago.
who years ago served with Lieut.. Albert
A. Pierson, the alleged betrayer of Vic
tor Hugo's daughter Adele, recently
made the following statement:
"Pierson was Lieutenant in the Second
Battalion Of the Sixteenth Regiment,
which was assigned to Halifax in 1861,
at the time of the trouble caused by the
arrest of Mason and Slidel on board the
Trent. Pierson was great dandy, and
was nicknamed by his brother officers
the Count His father was Church
of England clergyman, and the story
that he was rich is altogether untrue, as
the Count was always hard up. He
came to the Sixteenth from some other
regiment at the time that several bat
taIions were added to the English army,
and his age was always a mystery even
to his most intimate friends. He used
to dye his hair and long mustachios
freely, and even went so far as to paint
his face to hide the crow-feet. Pierson
arrayed to astonish the bellies of gar
rison town was totally different person
from Pierson coming off nights guard
duty in Dublin or elsewhere. He went
with his regiment from Halifax to Bar
BADGES and the West Indies, and then,
in 1869, to Ireland, where he was quar-
tered at the Curragh camp and at Dub
lin. In 1870 the regiment went to
Canterbury, where Pierson, who had
obtained his promotion to captain, sold
out and married lady residing at Nor
wood, near London, who was reported
to have an income of 91, 500 year.
"Whether Pierson is alive or dead, I
do not know. Nobody in the regiment
knew anything about his relations with
Miss Hugo. He was taciturn man, al
ways passed as bachelor and resented
any insinuation that he had ever been
married. I remember that the rumor
once got into the mess at Halifax that
he had been followed by woman from
London, but there was nothing unusual
enough in this as an incident of army
life to excite more than the merest pass
ing attention and a laugh"
Miss Hugo became insane, and for
years was in an asylum. Her father left
her half his fortune.
