The Two Officers.

Apropos of the foreigners now in the
ranks of the Ell Mahdi, French paper
relates the following anecdote of the
Greek war of Independence. An officer
wearing the Greek uniform was captured
and led into the presence of the Turkish
general, who was decked in the most
picturesque trapping and who stiffened
up and scowled in threatening manner
at the prisoners approach. "My time
has come,' thought the Greek, in his own
mind. But he unused, "isn't that face
familiar to me? 1t seems to me l saw it
before" With commanding gesture,
the victorious general waved his attend
ants back as he ordered them in Turkish
to withdraw for q moment. The order
is obeyed. The son of the prophet ap-
proaches the Greek, looks him in the
eye and remarks in French: "Say, Ge-
bassier, don't you know you owe me
ten francs?" The Turkish and Greek
officers were formerly two officers in
the French army, who having been put
on half pay after the fall of Napoleon,
enlisted on opposite sides in the Gr@co-
Turkish war. One of them borrowed
ten francs from the other on the retreat
from Russia, and they didn't meet till
their recontre in the Greek.

n. Y. Letter in Sunday OregOnian.
The building itself is on the site of the
old Washington Hotel. This hotel, by
the way was built on the ground once oc
cupied by the mansion of Nathaniel
Prime, the Jay Gould of fifty years ago.
1t may be added, parenthetically, this
same banker, Prime, once, when poor
young man, went to a southern planter,
on visit at that time to New York, and
asked fer the loan of S., 600.
what security can you give = asked
ohe planter.
1.-The word of an honest man" an
swered Prime.
The planter eyed him keenly for an
instant, and then replied: You shall
have it,
This sum gave Nathaniel Prime his
start in life and he soon paid the debt
Years rolled by and he became the lead
ing banker of the city. One day the
planter, who had befriended him at the
outset of his career, came to him in pow
erty and asked him for the loan of the
same sum that he had lent Prime so op-
portunely. The banker remembered him
well, but asked
"What security can you give?"
The word of an honest man" an
swered the planter, echoing Primes own
words of years before.
That won't do in Wall street," was
the reply.
The planter seemed dazed by such an
answer and left without a word. The
man who was capable of such ingrati-
tude had become a miser, monomaniac
on the subject of money, and in his old
age, becoming insane in the midst of
wealth over the thought that he might
by some possibility die poor, committed
suicide by cutting his throat in his man
sion that occupied the site, as already
stated, of the present Washington build
ing.

Eufaula Mail.
81 want to get you to write something
in this Bible" said Lawson Lawrence,
colored, and regular subscriber 70 the
Mail. He was accompanied by an aged
''uncle," whose hair was gray when the
gray hairs of our girls were golden in the
sunlight of youth, and it was for him
the Bible and writing were intended.
HE is one hundred and three years
old" said Lawson, and at this the repOr-
ter was all ears, as usual. Inquiry of
Uncle Nero developed, according to his
statement, that he was born in Trenton
district, North Carolina, May 8. 1882, and
would consequently be 103 years of age
on the 9Th of May, 1885, or next month.
He said he came to EufauIa during
Jakkson's war;" and when Eufaula was
Irvinton. The Indians were cncamped
about Montgomery, and he bought
pony of them for So. His present wife,
Henry Kringle's sister," is fifty years
old, he having married her when she
was "gal," as he expressed it. She is
his ninth wife and, in reply to the ques-
ton as to how many children he had, he
said he had been assessed of having 1T
and it was not for him to dispute it.
Last year he cultivated twenty acres of
land and raised an abundance of peas,
corn and potatoes. This year he is cul-
tivating cotton. He lives within quar-
ter of a mile of White Pond, this county,
where he has been for the past eleven
years. He labors during the week and
breaches on Sunday, being pastor Of
Mount Zion Methodist church for eight
years.

A certain preacher not a thous-
and miles from this place, was
preaching at place where he was
much annoyed by young men get
ting up and going out during servi-
ces. At last he hit upon this novel
way of putting a stop to it. Stop
ping suddenly in the midst of his
subject, he said
MANY preachers have a custom
of reprlmandlng young men harshly
for going out in time of service, but
| understand their position and
sympathize with them. These poor
boys go barefoot all the week, and
when on Sunday they put Oh new
boots or shoes, their feet are soon
cramped, hot and uncomfortable,
and they are forced to go out occa-
sionally to let them COOL"

FROM sARTH TO HEAVEN.

| love yon pale blue sky; Il is the floor
oftbat glad home where shall shortly
be;
A home from which I shall go out no
more;
From toll and grief and vanity set free.
gaze upon yon everlasting arch,
Up which the bright stars wander as
they shine;
And as l mark them in theft nightly
march,
I think how soon that journey shall be
mine!
Yon silver drift of silent cloud, far up
In the still heaven.-though it my
pathway ties;
You rugged mountain peak,-how soon
Its top
Shall behold beneath me, as 1 rise
No more of life's slow pacing hours
Shaded with sorrows melancholy here;
Oh! what glad ascending shall be onrs |!
oh! what pathway up your starry
blue
A journey like Elijah's-swift and bright,
Caught gently upward to an early
crown.
In Heavens own chariot of emblazing
light,
With death untasted, and the grave
unknown.

Man born of woman is small
potatoes and few in hill.
He riseth up to-day and flourish

or the day after the undertaken hath
him in the ice box.
He goeth forth in the morning
warbling like lark, and is knock
ed out in one round and two Sc
conds.
In the midst of life he is in debt,
and the tax collector pursueth him
wherever he goeth.
The banister of life is full OF
splinters, and he slldeth down it
with considerable rapidity.
He walketh forth in the bright
sunlight to absorb ozone, and meet
eth the bank teller with a sight draft
for 1857.
He cometh home at eventide and
meeteth the wheelbarrow in his
path, and the wheelbarrow riseth up
and smiteth him TO the earth, and
falleth upon him and runneth one
of its legs into his ear.
In the gentle spring time be
putteth on his summer clothes, and
q blizzard strlketh him away from
home, filleth him with woe and
rheumatism.
He layeth up riches in the bank,
and the president speculates In mar
gins then goeth to Canada for his
health.
In winter he putteth on his win
ter trousers, and a wasp that abid
eth in them filleth him full Of in
tense excitement.
He starteth down cellar with an
oleander, and goeth first backward
and the oleander cometh after him
and stitch upon him.
He buyeth a watch dog, and
when he cometh home late from the

When the Election Commission
ers, after canvassing the returns,
announced the election of jeff Truly
to the Legislature, the young demo
cracy appeared to go wild, and the
cheering was long and lusty. He
was picked up bodily by bis en-
thusiastic friends and carried out on
the street, and it was impossible to
get away from the boys. Mr.. Truly
is quite young man, this being his
first essay in politics, and it is a
high compliment to him that he
won over such an able and exper-
fenced competitor, and ran so far
ahead of his ticket. 1t is unneces-
sary to say that Mr.. Truly, although
young, will prove q credit to his
constituents and win for himself an
honorable standing in the legisla.
