He Tried 10 STOP a solid Shot.

/ remember that one of the most daring and
strongest willed men in our regiment, says
correspondent of the Chicago Inter Ocean, was
much given to laughing at the poor fellows
who went down under disease or who COM
planned much Of what we called mere scratches
Of wounds. For two years it seemed that he
was proof against all troubles incident to army
life, but one day as he stood in line of battle,
as fine a specimen Of soldierly spirit and cour-
age as ever saw. there came bounding and
rolling toward the line heavy cannon ball
fired from one of the large guns Of the enemy
The temptation to stop spinning ball of this
kind was so strong that most soldiers nerved
themselves up TO the point of resisting the
inclination to give the apparently harmless
ball kick. The only man TO yield to the
temptation was my superb soldier. He put
out bis foot with a smile on his face. and went
down a shattered, MANNED, and helpless man.
His foot was cut of as by an az, and the shock
made him on the instant as helpless as babe.

Why Mr.. Tod seorned the Double d.
B0Sf0a Trareifer 4

One Of Lineoln's most esteemed friends was
old ex-GoY. Tod. Of Ohio. He was quaint old
character, and Lincoln loved him for MS honesty,
ability and native shrewdness. One evening
when Tod was in town Lincoln invited him
over to the White House. They had long
chat together, when Lincoln finally said
Look here, Tod, how is it that you spell your
name with only one d ? / married Todd, but
she spelled her name with two DIS. All Of her
relatives do the same. You are the first Tod /
ever met who spelled his name with so few let
ters-" Old Tod looked at Lincoln for a moment
in his peculiarly quizzing manner and then re-
piled Mr.. President, God spells his name
with only one d, and what is good enough for
God is good enough for me-" Lincoln used TO
repeat this story to some Of his more intimate
friends. and every time he did so he would laugh
until the tears ran down over that furrowed
but grand face.

wept because Lazarus was coming back 10 earth
to suffer foreome years and then die again.
Others imagine that scene of sorrow brought up
by suggestion to our Savior's mind all the sor
rows of earth and caused him grief. Others
believe the weeping was purely sympathetic. A
few hold he wept tears of joy as he foresaw the
happiness of the sisters when they should re-
ceive their brother again in health.

Fora minute, for eighty feet and more,
ehey glided down-down-asking them
selves if the abyss in which they were
mgulfed were really bottomless. Already
the roar of the raging waters below them
could be heard. Then they understood
that the lightning conductor led down
into the torrent. What was to be done?
TO climb back to the base of the donjon
they could not their strength was un-
equal to the task And death, for death
was better to chance that which waited
for thera in the depths below.
Suddenly there came an fearful clap OF
thunder and an intense electric glare.
Although the conductor was not struck.
yet the tension of the electricity was such
chat the iron rope grew white as q plati-
mum thread beneath the discharge of a
battery or pile.
Bathory uttered cry of despair-and
let go.
Sandorf saw him pass him, almost
touching him with his arms wide open.
And then he let go the iron rope which
glowed in his hands; and he fell more
than forty feet into the torrent of Foiba
which foamed along at the foot of tho
unknown Brico.

There is a large industry in the manu-

On the sides Of the cave recently dis
covered in Calaveras county, California
are seen huge b ulders, which seem
about to fail upon and crush the invader
of their grand domain. A closer obser-
walton will show, however, that the
boulders which originally were dis
placed from the roof, have been caught
in fssure in the wall, where they have
remained in the same threatening ;.tti.

depth of the calcareous deposits which
cover them.
