Plumb sent his load of produce on, and
went to work to find some one to take
care of the man if it was found that ne
was still alive. He found at Last man
and his wife living some distance from
there who had had the disease, and
agreed to take tbs invalid for good pay.
Plumb then could get no team with
which to transfer the sick man and final
ly in desperation, seized one that was
hitched in front of q store. He getaway
short distance when he was overtaken
and the team taken away, Finally after
persistent effort and pleading, and bitter
denunciation of the people, he obtained
q team and drove to the shed and took
the poor plague stricken creature, diving
alone of his disgusting disease, in his
arms, and drove with him to the home
selected. He left all the money he had,
and promised more when he could get it
for the care of the man if he lived and
his burial if he died.
Then he went on down to Emporia
and had the small pox himself, and came
very near giving his own life as the sac
rifice for that of the poor stranger whose
life he saved. Thet is the story of how
Senator Plumb's face came to be pock-
marked.

How Senator Plumb Caught the SMALLPOX,

How senator Plumb Caught the Small ox.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
Coming into Washington, about the
fret man / CHANGED to meet was Senator
Plumb, Of Kansas. The senators face is
pitted from small pox, though not to the
extent of Disagreement. will tell You
how he came by these marks, and in do.
ing 30 will tell you . tale of rare hero
ism as it was told me by an old Kansas
man who was personally cognizant of the
facts.
Many years ago, when Plumb had just
come to Kansas from Ohio and settled
st Empo-is, he was poor and struggling
for living, as was most of the pioneers
about him. One day he drove to Law
renee with :losd Of produce. On his
way home he stopped ct little town to
feed his team, and while there he heard
that some Ohio people had been there
looking for . place to locate, and had
passed on, leaving one of their number
behind, who had been stricken down
With small pox. Some osthe people had
carried the sick man out Of town to Q
shed, and left him there alone.

A UNIQUE ORCHEs1RA.
Three Hundred Players Who Can Not
One Another.

Three Hundred Players Who Can Not
One Another.
Pittsburg Times.
There is nightly concert in the lower
part of Allegheny, Pa. by the largest or
chestra in the world. 1t is composed CT
at least three hundred players, who per-
form on every known instrument. The
band is well trained, uniformed alike
but has no leaders. The musicians play
what they please; they never see each
other while they play, and their audi
ence consist of the same people at every
performance. The concert begins pre-
cisely at six o'clock every evening and
ends at the stroke of seven. At this
hour the instruments are carefully laid
away and not disturbed again for twenty
four hours. This is according to the
rules of the Western penitentiarv, the
inmates Of which compose this remark
abb musical coterie.
The Western penitentiary is perhaps
the only prison in the United States
whersthe prisoners were permitted to
cultivate the art of music, and many do
it 20 perfection. A reporter was one of
the audience at the concert last evening.
Five minutes before o'clock he made q
round of the tiers with one of the keep
ers. There are $40 cells, and in almost
every second one the occupants sat
awaiting the signal, ready with his in
strument to begin. Two minutes before
6 the reporter End his companion took
their station near the. gong on which the
signal is sounded. All was quiet.
Punctually at o'clock the door keep
er sounded the gong six times and the
singing noise had scarcely died out when
the strains from several hundred instru-
ments were heard. It was impossible
to distinguish one tune from another
The mingling of sounds reminded one of
the bowling of the wind in the dis
lance. The men ratified off tune after
tune without stopping.
"They look forward to this hour with
great pleasure" said one of the keepers.
"From..5 o'clock, when they come in from
work, they sit and watch patiently until
the gong strikes They don't lose q
minute. The music is the only thing
which varies the monotony, and to take
an instrument from q prisoner is about
the severest punishmint we can inflict
Some of them are good players. Prac.
tice and constant application makes
them perfect. There are men here who
were very poor players when they came,
and to-day they can take their places
alongside the best of them"
It was few minutes before o'clock
when the round was completed, and as
the ground tier was reached, man with
violin commenced playing "Home
Sweet Home" His neighbor accompan-
led him on q guitar, and in q second q
flute joined in, then q concert, mando-
lin, etc. In fact the prisoners on the
upper tier seemed to be watching for the
sounds and caught them up, one by one,
until all were playing the tune. The
chorus of instruments closed at the
stroke Oft. Quiet reigned supreme, and
no one would have known that q mo-
ment before the sounds Of hundreds of
instruments had been heard in the cor
idor.

There is missionary hospital at Jaffa
under the care of Miss Mangan. The
Misses Mangan and Newton first began
caring for the sick by receiving sufferers
at their own houses; but the work has
grown so that a rented houre was oh.

specially. Eighteen beds are now kept
full of patients indoors, and of outpa-
tients there were II, 500. There are now
constantly employed four ladies and one

WORSE THAN DEATH.
Awful Scenes in tt . siberian Mines.
Boston Gazette.

Boston Gazette.
The exiles who live in the mines O
Russian Siberia are convicts of the wors
type and political offenders of the best
The murderer for his villainy, the intel.
ligent and honest Polish rebel for hi
patriotism, are deemed equally worthy
of the punishment of slow death. They
never see the light of day, but work and
sleep all the year round in the depths OF
the earth, extracting silver or quicksil-
yer, under the eyes of taskmasters who
have orders not to spare them.
Iron gates, guarded by sentries, close
the lodes, or streets, at the bottom of the
shaft, and the miners are rallied off from
one another in gangs of twenty. They
sleep within rock-hewn recesses,-very
on all.fours. Prince Lumbomiroski, who
was authorized to visit one of the mines
of the Ural at time when it was not
suspected that he would publish an &C
count of his exploration in French, has
given an APPALLING account Of what he
saw.
Convicts racked with the joint pain
which quicksilver produces; men whose
hair and eyebrows dropped of, and who
were gaunt as skeletons, were kept to
hard labor under under the lash. They
have only two holidays q Christ
mas and Easter,-and all other days,
Sunday included, they must toll until
exhausted nature robs them of their
limbs, when they are hauled up to die
in the in6rmary,
Five years in the quicksilver pits are
enough to turn man of thirty into an
apparent sexagenarian, but some have
been known to struggle on for ten years.
No man who has served in the mines is
ever allowed to return home. The most
he can obtain in the way of grace is leave
to come up and work in the roadways,
and it is the promise of this favor as a
reward for industry which operates even
more than the lash to maintain disci-
pline. Women are employed in the
mines as sifters, and get no better treat
ment than the men.
Polish ladies by the dozens have been
sent down to rot and die, while the st.
Petersburg journals were declaring that
hey were living as free colonists, and
more recently ladies connected with
lihilist conapirscies have been consign-
ID to the mines in pursuance of SEN
ence of hard labor. It must always be
understood that sentence of Siberia
lard labor means death.
