clans taking employment outside OF that
covered by their enlistment. The custom
permitting it he finds to be universal. and
the compensation provided b! the Gov
eminent is based somewhat upon the sup
position that enlisted musicians will sup
plement their Government pay from Iri-
waite employment. but in these eases there
is Il universal rule that the Government
shall not enter into competition with l'ri
vlte individuals unfairly. This has be-
come the subject N IL general order, to the
effect that the Secretary OF War has dis
couraged the employment OF %regimental
bands for purposes not connected with
their duties in the military service, and
holds that they should not be brought into
competition with local bands. In the naval
service the same rule should apply at least
to the extent oil preventing unfair colnpeti-
ton between the bands supported by the
Government and private individuals en-
gagged in the same business.

THE SUFFERING.

Many pitifuI stories are bcinstold. Hiram
cobb, owner OF a mill, said people would
come at the rate Of a dozen IL day after
walking long distances, begging for a pint or
quart Of meal, and sometimes bringing half
Il peck of grain or a few ears OF corn to be
ground. He knew men who had gone for
five days without food, and he himself
would soon be a sufferer. J. II. Garrett
said his neighbors were actually starving.
John Smith, County Assessor, said that to
his knowledge thirty-five families were in
danger Of starving at New Kentucky. The
appeal for aid vas signed by representatives
OF a hundred families. These are but speci-
men stories. One family is said to have
subsisted for five days or Lettuce, and when
found were nearly dead.

GUS. A hundred families are on the verge
of starvation. and unless aid is speedily eX-
tended by the remainder Of the Stat" or
outside world most disastrous results may
be expected: Some of the more fortunate
and influential people fthe county and 9th
ers who believe the condition OF the lnhab-
itants is exaggerated have denied
the reports that have from time to time
been published, stating that things could
be tided over until Il new crop could be
raised, but now much alarm prevails and
public meetings are being held in all villages
AND local papers are printing appeals Tor
aid. Last week meetings were held at
White Pine and New Kentucky at which
scores OF citizens representing their rrspec-
tive neishborhoods testified as to the ex-
tent OF the famine.

ceipt OF his letter, were sad and depressed.

He continued to look and started for the
cabin. While on the road he heard the
first shot and turning saw Henningar's gun
pointed toward him. Before he reached
the cabin the second shot vas fired and he
then sent the man after Cowan. When they
met they both got guns and started down
the creek. Had seen two armed men pre-
viously. When he first saw Henningar did
not wait for him to come up at the time
the water was turned On and he started
for the cabin. AS he turned after the first
shot he saw the smoke OF the gun. Did not
know whether it was.aimed at witness or at
Ford.
On cross examination he said he had got
about seventy-five yards on the way to the
cabin. Thought he was shot at on account
of the water troubles. He thought surely
that Henningar fired the first shot. After
the shot he came out of the brush and
stood on the bank. Did not hear deceased
talk while standing there, was too lar on:
When he went back he saw Ford, but did
not talk with him. Saw two other armed
men that day. Saw the two armed men at
the banks of the ditch after the shooting.
This concluded the testimony and the
case was adjourned until Morning at 10
o'clock.

Consulting Her Father.

Young Mr.. Charles III. Isidore Gosh
inigin, of Harlem, was plainly embar-
raised. For some minutes he had
rested easily in his chair, and Miss
Smith of Ninth street, near Second
avenue, upon whom he was calling,
knew what was coming-or thought
she did-and her heart-throbs were as
the ticking of clock.

ishly, "can I-er-see your father for o
moment or two?"
MY father?" she repeated, with a
blush, certainly, Mr.. Coshinigin, and
excusing herself, she swept from the
parlor.
Presently the old man came in, and,
after short conversation with Mr..
Coshinigin, he stepped to the door and
summoned his daughter.

igin, whose face was radiant, "and, as I

Miss Smith blushingly assured him
that he would, and young Mr.. Coshin-
igin was en- route for Harlem.

and then she stopped.
"You must ask no questions" said
the old man, and he smiled as he
stroked his daughters hair fondly.

Prof. Baird, Secretary of the Smith
sonian institution, strongly recommends
the practice of boiling all water used
for drinking purposes, unless it is
known to be pure. The only perfectly
safe way of ascertaining whether water
is pure or not is having it analysed by
q competent chemist. But this is an
expensive process, though there are
rogues who profess to do it for much
less than the operation would cost. and
the boiling for half an hour, though
somewhat troublesome, is good deal
less costly, and would have to be re-
sorted to anyway if the analysis should
show the water to be unsafe.
A porous earthen vessel is good
thing to put the water in to cool, and
if boiled in the evening and placed in
earthenwarc vessels in cool place to
get cold, the water will be found cold
enough IN the morning for many peo-
pie to drink without ice. 1t is simple
preventive of the cause of many dis
eases, and the fact that impure water
by no means betrays itself, as many
people suppose, by an appearance of
impurity, but is perfectly clear and
limpid and agreeable to the taste, adds
to the danger of this cause. 1t has
been shown over and over again that
impure water is not at all confined to
cities, but is found even more frequent
ly in the wells which supply our coun-
try residents. IT used to be held gen.
orally that even when surface impurity
existed within radius of the well suf-
ficiently limited to drain into it, the
percolation through the soil would re-
move every particle of impurity from
the water ere it reached the well; but
scientists have shown US that such is
not the case. During the very hot
weather, when SO much water is drank,
il is we'll to be on the safe side. A lit
tie cold coffee or very little vinegar
and little sugar poured into the water
make q very palatable and refreshing
drink in hot weather. All very cold
drinks should be imbibed slowly. Sud-
denly flooding the stomach with large
quantity of ice-cold liquid is always at
tended with more or less risk, accord
ing to the condition of the drinker at

The Marquis of Hertford-the Lord
Steyne of vanity Fair" was noted for
the fetes with which he entertained the
great world, and the magnificent shoot
ing he gave his friends on his estate at
Sudborne, Suffolk. Yet he would do
o great deal to save sixpence- Wilson
Croker relates that one day, when he
was at Lord Ysrmouth's being out of
parliament, he came all the way from
Seymour place to the admiralty to
frank Q letter to his servant in the
country, which contained orders for the
reception of party of friends, at o
cost of at least f560. He saved six
pence, and if he had been tired would
have got into hackney coach and paid
q half-crown fare to get this said frank.
This is o characteristic story told of
him. When the thistlewood conspira-
tors had been hanged, somebody who
had Witnessed the execution went to
Lord Hartford to give an account of the
proceedings. Among other things he
mentioned that one of the prisoners
had prayed fervently on the scaffold.

The Boy and the Bone-Setter.

Speaking of the bone-setters recalls
good story which occurred in the
north of Scotland, where one of them
had risen to great fame and no small
fortune by his skill. A country lad
residing few miles off had got his leg
hurt at one of the local factories, and
had been treated for some time by the
local medical man without any good re-
suit. His mother, who had great faith
in the neighboring bone-setter, wanted
the lad to go to him, which he declined,
preferring, as he said, the "reglar
faculty." Eventually, however, his
mothers persuasions prevailed. and he
agreed to allow himself to be taken to
see Daniel R., the bone-setter. A
bed for the invalid was extemporized
on cart, and. accompanied by his
anxious mother. he was, after painful
journey: taken to the town where the
bone-setter resided. The leg was duly
examined, and il was found necessary
to haul it very severely in order, as the
bone-setter said, "to get the bone In
The lad was liberal with his screams
while this was going on, but eventually
the bone was got in and he was told
to go home and in few days he would
be all right and fit for his work. He

Antique Furniture.

Antique furniture is still very much
sought after among the more fashion
able of people. The rage for it, how
ever, has passed away, and only really
choice bits command high prices. There
are three establishments devoted to this
business in Washington, one in George
town, and one in Alexandria. In these
you may often find some very fine
pieces. This Is one of the Oldest parts
OF the United States, and in early times
it contained very wealthy population.
Much of the furniture of colonial days
was imported from France or England,
and it is not an uncommon thing to run
across o relic of Washington or Jeffer-
son in one of these antiquity shops. In
one of the furniture stores of Alex
andria, which was hotel in Washing
toms day, they have for sale a bed in
which it is said Washington used to
sleep. 1 was offered once for $50 the
desk which Thaddeus Stevens used
while he was in Congress, and know

of the furniture of Thomas Jefferson
are in daily use. Calling upon Gen.
Tyler, the gray-haired son of the Pres
ldent, took my seat upon high,
straight-back, old-fashioned chair,
which, upon noticing. the General told
me was over $50 years old. It was
