Paid by the Private.

The Baltimore Sun revives the fol-
lowing story of Elias Howe, the invent
or of sewing machines
At the outbreak of the war, when he
was a millionaire he enlisted as pri-
vate to show his patriotism and inde-
pendence. Money grew scarce, and his
regiment, which was sent South, was
left unpaid for three months. At the
end of that time Howe. in his private IS
uniform, one day entered the Office of
the quartermaster and asked when the
soldiers of the regiment were to be paid.
Il don't KNOW replied the quarter
master.
well, how much is owed them p
blandly asked the private.
What is that to you?' said the storess
keeper, with a look of surprise.
'Oh, nothing said Howe, noncha-
lantly; 'if you'll figure out the amount
I'll give you my check for the whole
business
Who are you p gasped The quarter
master.
Elias Howe, and my check is good
for..the pay of the entire army
The quartermaster made out his bills
and Howe gave him the check for three
months pay for his regiment. The
government afterward reimbursed him.

Sugar by Electricity.

An entirely new process for refining
sugar, electricity being the agent en-
ployed, is one Of the latest discoveries.
If the half that is claimed for it be
true, it H. also one of the most import
ant that has been made in the last
half of this century. The process is
said to be dry one throughout, dis
peosing altogether with boiling and
the use of boneblack. 1t is claimed
that no syrup whatever is produced,
the whole product being hard sugar of
nearly, if not quite, absolutely purity
namely, 100 per cent. cane sugar,
per analysis. This result has been
obtained from the lowest grades, the
parcels treated ranging all the way
from ten pounds to over ton in
weight. The refined sugar is obtain
ed within four hours from the time the
machineryis set in motion, and the
process is continuous, the output of
fine sugar being kept up so long as
the raw material is fed in and the ma
chinery kept in motion. The cost of
the process is almost ridiculously low,
being set at not more than eighty cts.
per ton, with a guarantee that the loss
will not be greater than about one-half
of one per cent. The cost of the re-
quisite machinery, including power
and apparatus needed to put the sugar
into barrels and the buildings requir-
ed to inclose the works, is estimated to
be about 100000; in England, for an
output of four thousand barrels every
twenty-four hours.

The Bitter Bit.

Gilhooly was..in somewhat intoxi-
Gated condition. He came out Of the
bar room at late hour. He had suffi-
cient intelligence, however, to know
what his condition was, so he conclud-
ed to take hack. AS soon as he was
inside of the hack and was being driv-
en- towards his home it occurred to him
that he had only five dollars in the
world, and that the sum had to last
him until the end of the month, there,
fore, he could not afford to pay hack
hire. Slyly opening the door of the
hack he jumped out without the coach
man haying observed him. He war der.
ed about On foot for half an hour until
he found that he had lost his way. He
was then compelled to hire second
hack. As he had succeeded so well in
swindling the first hack driver, he con-
cluded to try the same trick over again.
It succeeded, but unfortunately in jump.
ing from the hack he landed in pile OF
fresh mortar out of which he had much
difficulty in extricating himself. After
wandering around for several hours in
the rain he at last found his way home
On the floor he saw his fine black SUIT
utterly rained by the lime and water
He seized his pants and got out his
pocketbook. He counted his money,
and discovered that precisely two fares
were missing.
Now I understand how it happened.
he exclaimed, Il paid these two hack
drivers their money when ! first got in
to their hacks, but I was too drunk tt
remember. So in swindling two fares
out of the hack dryers | have swindled
myself out of that amount, and walked
home besides. The ruined clothes are
worth at least forty dollars

stole the Corner Stone.

Passing through New Brunswick. q
few days ago on the Pennsylvania rail-
road, a member of the assembly, gazing
off to red clay bluff high oyer the Ca
nal along the river bank, mile or so
from the town, remarked "Do you
see that big building, the Rutger theo-
logical seminary, up there back of the
town. Well, the corner stone Of that
building is in the canal just under that
high bluff-at least it was the last time
knew anything about it. 1t was back
in 1856 or 1857 and I was graceless
young scamp, at Rutgers college.
There was lots of US g. y. s. ia Rut-
gers that year. The Theological semin-
ary building foundations were just fn-
ished, ,and they had made grand prepar- :
ations for laying the corner stone, with
no end of speeches by big guns from
everywhere. The night before a lot of
US got an old pair of wheels, went up
there in the dark, mounted the corner
stone on the wheels and dragged it a..
cross the country to the bluff, where
we dumped it over into the canal and
went back to bed. There was a rue
tion next morning, but 1t was Of no use;
they had to 60 on with their corner
stone laying without any corner stone.
They never found out what had be-
come of it, and the fun of it was they
all laid it to "those rascally town
boys"

He Had Seen Mermaids.

An American F'ireside.

An American woman Is lecturing
in England on marriage, domestic hab-
its and kindred subjects. Her idea of
fireside bliss is illustrated by an ideal
picture of cozy room with pretty
children and a cat and dog playing a.
bout. Enter to these the husband. tir-
ed but happy. He throws himself into
an easy chair, in attitude of careless re-
pose, which he completes by placing
his feet in his wife's lap. With their
usual guilelessness and faith in what
they are told concerning American af-
fairs, the English who unfortunately
hear this lecture will henceforth stub
Dornly believe that all American hus'
bands are in the habit Of resting them
selves with their feet in their wives
laps.

He took the bit of lace, and I motto.
ed queer look come over his face. I
also saw two or three of the young men
draw near and eye me curiously, and /
began to feel embarrassed.
"I don't know" said the shopman,
slowly. "Mr. Jones, ask Mr.. yelling
to step this way"
The young man addressed hurried a
way, and in moment the gentleman
named came up, which was relief to
me, for saw something was wrong.
and l knew him well, as he was an old
friend of my fathers.
"This is a had business, and requires
explanation. Miss Mary" he said. "a
week ago lady exactly answering the
description you give of Mrs. Graham,
came here and bought twenty yards of
this same lace. After she was gone it
was discovered that the money she
paid was bad. We have been trying to
trace this lady ever since, but had not
the least clew till now. What do you
think ?"

Killed in the War.

The official report of Adjt.- Gen.
Drum settles the much-debated ques-
ton Of how many persons in the I'm
ion army lost their lives during the
late war. Including 29,49S who lost
their lives while confined in southern
prison-pens, the whole number of
Union soldiers who died during the
war was 359, 496. 1t has so far been
impossible to obtain the exact num-
Der of men in the Union armies, ow-
ing to the fact that in many cases
duplicate returns have been filed, and
large number of men enlisted twice
or more times, but Gen. Drums esti-
mate is that about 100000 different
persons enlisted in the Union armies
during the war. If this estimate be
correct the number of deaths was
just about 144 to the 1000. Owing
to the destruction Of papers at the
burning Of Richmond when it was
evacuated it is impossible to ascertain
with any degree of accuracy the
number of troops in the service of the
Confederacy or the number of lives
lost in its armies. But it would be
perfectly safe to put the total number
of lives lost during the war at least at
500, 900, and even that large number
would probably be too small. Nor is
it possible to form any estimate of the
number who came from the army to
private life with wounds or seeds of
disease which shortened the lives of
those who bore them. 1t is compare
lively easy to reckon the cost in
dollars and cents of the great rebel
lion, but the lives lost, the suffering
and distress it caused to both sides,
battles all attcmps at calculation. The
large number of Union soldiers who
died in captivity (29, 49S) is one of
the startling exhibits of the whole
array of figures which the adjutant-
general gives. 1t is true that some of
those soldiers captured on the field of
battle died of their wounds, but many
of them because they were not prop
erly cared for. The greater number
died from the brutalities of Anderson
vile and Libby and Bell Isle prisons,
practically murdered by the inhu-
manity Of their keepers. 1t is not
possible in all cases to fix the response
bility for these crimes, but no one
even remotely responsible for them
should receive any other recognition
from the people or government of the
United States than the contempt he
dcserves.-Chicago News.
