He Was Not Walking.

Jabe Matthias, of the 18th Georgia, was good soldier, but one day when the Confederates were retreating from the gory field of Gettysburg, Jabe threw his musket on the ground, seated him self by the roadside, and exclaimed with much vehemence:
 ''I'll be dashed if I'll walk another step! I'm broke down! l can't do it!" And Jabe was the picture of despair.
 "Git up, man," exclaimed his cap tain. "Don't you know the Yankees are following us2 They'll get you surel"
 Cant help it." said Jabe, "I'm done for. I'll not walk another stepw
 The Confederates passed along over the crest of a hill, and lost sight of poor, dejected Jabe.
 In moment there was fresh rattle of musketry and renewed crash of shells. Suddenly Jabo appeared on the crest of the hill moving like hurricane and followed by cloud of dust. As he dashed passed his captain that officer yelled:
 "Hello! Jabe; thought you wasn't going to walk any more.
 ''Thunder!' replied Jabe, as he hit the dust with renewed vigor, ''you don't call this walking, do you?"

PINKERroN's RIFLEdEN.
Evidence Bearing Against Them in the Inquest on Terence Begley.

CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-There were six hundred people ill and about the police station when the inquest upon Terence Begley, who was killed by Pinkerton's police at the stock yards dozen or more police officers and the friends of the deceased. The station was pretty well guarded, as it was st1rmised that an effort would be made to do the prisoners dire injury, but aside from mutterings of vengeance no overt act was committed. State Attorney Grin. nell and his assistant were present on behalf of the State. The testimony to-day was decidedly against Pinkertons men. A number of pack CTS were present. Armour was not in attend. ance, bnt he had ambassadors there, and none of his interests were overlooked. This even. ing several police officers said that every man who worked for Pinkerton as special police man will, if possible be indicted, and, judging from the public sentiment, such will be the result.
 The six men charged with being connected with the killing of Begley appeared at the station under police escort at eleven o'clock. Their appearance indicated the tension of their nerves. Each of the prisoners was un- strung physically and mentally. They eyed the crowd closely and paid much attention to the evidence.
 Captain Markey, of the Lake police, after describing the route to the scene of the killing and the attitude of Pinkertons men, said that no stones were thrown at the train. He was on the third car and would have seen such an occurrence had 1t taker place.
 Jacob c. Musselman, an engineer, said that when the train reached Fortieth street a num- Der of boys said, ''Look out, scabs r In g. moment rifles were thrust out of the windows and discharged. Begley fell mortally wound- ed. He also said that no stones or other mis- siles were thrown by the mob.
 Seven other witnesses gave similar testi- mony.
 This evening the cars which carried the Pinkerton men from the scene of the shooting lol l,4% ont nf c1,o dows were found broken and bullet holes on both sides of the three rear conveyances.

Not at Home.

Before Bismarck reconstructed the map of Europe and made United Ger many dozen little principalities used to annoy travellers by stopping them at their frontiers until they had satisfied the Custom house demands. A Yankee once had his carriage stopped at the frontier of a petty princess country. The Herr Ober, Controleur at the Gus tom house, came forward, and, much to his indignation, was received in a nonchalant way. The Yankee was un- eentlemanly enough not to get out of the carriage or even to take off his hat. The Herr Ober sharply demanded the keys of the tourists trunks, which his subordinate began handling roughly. "Here, hands off" shouted the Yankee. II didn't come from the United States of America to be controlled by you. Put those trunks back. I'll not go through you at all. I'll turn back. I'm iu no hurry, and don't care for losing a day. You're no country, you're only a spot. I'll go round you.-San Fran- cisco ATL 0naut.

Ancient HighIanders.

The ancient Highlanders were tall, robust, well-formed, and had remark ably hardy habits. In particular, they felt great indifference to cold, and thought nothing of sleeping outside in the severity of winter. Burt, who re- sided among them, and wrote in the year 1725, relates that he has seen the places which they occupied, and which were known by being free from snow that deeply covered the ground except where the heat of their bodies had melted it. The same writer represents a chief as giving offense to his clan by his degeneracy in forming the snow into pillow before he lay down. The Highlanders were so accustomed to sleep in the open air that the want of shelter was of little consequence to them. It was usual before lying down to dip their plaids in water, by which the cloth was less pervious to the wind, and the heat of them produced 8 warmth, which the woolen, if dry, could not afford. This hardness be- came allied to the peculiar costume of the plaid and the fllibeg, and the two are noticed conjointly in old historical accounts of their appearance. Beague, II IIOACAAdLs WAO WIOGo u uloUOIy O1 Ulc Campaign in Scotland in 1546, printed in Paris in 1856, states that at the siege of Haddington, in 1494, "they (the Scottish army) were followed by the Highlanders, and these last go almost naked. They have painted waistcoats, and sort of woolen covering, various ly colored." Lindsay, of Pitscottie, says: "The other pairt northerne are full of mountaines, and very rud and homelic kynd of people doeth inhabite, which Is called the Reid Shankes or wyld Scottis. They had cloathed in ane mantle, with ane schirt, fachioned after the Irish manner, going bair-leg- ged to the knie." Another, who wrote before the year 1897, observes that in his time, "they (the Highlanders) de- light much in marbled cloth, especially that have long strips of sundry colours. They have chiefly purple and blue. Their predecessors used short mantles or plaids of divers colours. They love chiefly purple. The same custom is observed to this day, but for the most part now they are brown, most near to the colour of their ladders. The bright colour of their plaids shall not bewray them. They suffer the most cruel tenn pests that blow in the open fields in such sort that in night of snow they S1eap anr,n1

SAVED FROM DEATH.
Fifteen Men Imprisoned in a Bridge
 Caisson-Timely Rescue.

OMAHA, Neb, October 21, 1ss6.-A thrilling accident, imperrilling the lives of fifteen men, occurred at the new Union Pacific bridge which is being built over the Missouri river at this point. At ten o'clock this morning a leak was sprung ill the caisson in the middle of the river, and before it could be caulked it had filled the shaft up to the surface, thus cutting of the escape of the en men who were at work on the bed rock under the river. The news of the horrible situation rapidly spread, and soon thousands assembled on the levee. George A. Ledderlee, chief engineer in charge of the work, and his assistant, Ralph Moieska. son of the actress, hastened to the caisson and at once proceeded to extricate the imperrilied men. Mr. Lekderlee ran n engine, with pumps attached, to the pier, and set it t work pumping the water from the shaft. After working an hour it was found that the engine was inadequate for the work of rescue, and bucket brigade was then organized among the bridge employees, who with ropes and buckets slowly baled the water out of the shaft This was slow and tedious work, and when the men had been imprisoned over three hours in the caisson nearly everybody despaired of ever seeing them again alive. Finally, at about 8 o'clock, the water was exhausted and the men were saved.
 When they were brought out wild cheers went up from the crowd on the levee.

 Guards.

CHICAGO, Oct. 19.-When the stock yards strike commenced everybody predicted trouble and probably bloodshed. When it was an- nounced last night that the struggle was over all breathed freer and felt that the peril was past.
 But the strike will not pass into history as bloodless one. To-day, while the Pinkerton men were being taken from the yards in q train of cars, they became angered at the jeers and other demonstrations of crowd of men and boys and opened on their tormentors with Winchesters. The Pinkerton men claim that stones were thrown and revolvers fired at them.
 Two men were shot down by tho Pinkertons' volley. Terrence Begley, respected citizen, lies mortally wounded ct his home, and @ man named OConnor was seriously injured. Over one hundred of the Pinkerton men were arrest ed, but all but six were subsequently, released.
 Four of these acknowledged shooting, but declare they thought the men they were suard- ing were in danger of their lives

Phil. Arm0ur's Dandy.

Millionaire Phil. Armour has pleas ant custom of buying q suit of clothes once year for each of his office em- ployees. This year all but one of the bows visited certain tailor on the south side and were measured for suits rang ing from $50 to $35. The exception was t dude, who scorned the selections made by his colleagues. He wanted something gorgeous and tlght-httlng. After paw1ng over the fashion plates of the tailor he finally selected piece of goods which would cost $125 to build into garments When the tailor, a few weeks later, sent his itemized bill to the big pork packer, the latter made in quiries for the purpose of finding out whether this young man with such aesthetic taste was really SO unfortunate as to have to work.
 >s'Is he at work in any of our depart ments2" Mir. Amour asked, turning to one of his lieutenants.
 "Yes; he works in the - room, y" was the reply.
 s'Eh eb; has he drawn his money for this month9'
 "No, sir; not yet"
 "Well, then, go get his salary and give it to me, and tell him want to see him at once"
 When the dude trippcd up to the millionaire the latter cleared his throat and said:
 "Young man, like to have my clerks consider themselves oh an equality with one another. Iii To king over the tailor s bill 1 find that you rate yourself $9O higher than the figures your colleagues place upon themselves. As I see no tangible proof of your great worth to this establishment, it gives me much sat sfaction to present. to you your months salary, together with my esti- mate of your value-your dismissal from my service Remember I'm an expert on hogs and know how to salt them. - Chicdgo Herald.

Hints to ConsulAptIVess

 Out-dbof exercise is earnestly recommended. If YOU ars unable to take such exercise on horseback or on foot, that should furnish no excuse for shutting yourself indoors, but you should take exercise in carriage, or in some other way bring yourself in contact with the open air.
 Medicines which cause expectcration must be avoided. For five hundred years phy- sicians have tried to cure Consumption by using them, and have failed. Who're there Is great Arrangement of the secretions, with engorgement of air-cells, there Is always profuse approximation. Now Piso's Cure re- moves the engorgement and the derangement of the secretions, and consequently (and in this way ohly) diminishes the amount of matt ter expec,orated. This medicine does not dry up a cough, but removes the cause of 1t.
 When it is impossible from debility or other causes to exercise freely in the open air, apart ments occupied by the patient should be so ventilated as to ensure the constant accession u The surface of the body should be .ponged and little soft-soap, CThis is preferable to friction with the hand moistened with oil, Cod-Liver or Olive is the best, This keeps tho DC, es of the skin in soft. pliable condition, which contributes mate ially to the unloading of waste matter from the system through this organ. You will please recollec we cure tn s d sease hy enabling the organs of the sys em to perform their functi ns in a normal way, or in other wolds. we remove obstructions, while the recuperative powers of the system cure the disease.
 We will here say 8 word in regard to cough n the f,rming stage, where there IS no con stitutional or noticeable disease. A cough may or may not foreshadow serious evil; take it in it's mi dest form, to say the least, 1t IS nu sance and should be abated.
 A cough is unlike any other symptom of dis ease. It stands conspirator. with threaten ing voice, menacing the health and existence of vital organ. It's first approao IS & m wnis- needed but in time it never fails to ma e itself understood-never fails to claim the attention of those on whom it calls.
