An athlete famous for his feats of
strength, but never in good health, con
suited a physician OF more han the av-
erage good sense, as physicians go. He
wa told that the encroachment of his
muscular development upon his vital
forces-his nerve. power-was killing
him. He was ordered to enter upon a
course OF reading, not novels, but his
tory and biography and other strong
food for the brain, to foreswear the
gymnasium and his customary feats Of
strength and to take daily lessons in the
foil.
The first lesson was in the presence Of
a couple Of gentlemen and one lady
pupil. The athlete barred his magnificent
arm and looked s~cornfuly at the slender
weapon weighing a few ounces as he
took it in his hand. Facing his in
structor and with arm extended he went
through the simplest motions in the
school. In two minutes his arm fell to
his side. and, matchmaking his -rheu-
matism.' he gave way to the lady pupil,
who smiled as she took the foil in her
slender hand. She faced the instructor
for ten minutes and never lowered her
hand. The athlete left the academy in
disgust and never entered it again. A
year later he died OF heart disease.-Chi-

At the commencement Of the Buchanan
administration there was often seen on
pennsylvania avenue n stout-built gentle
man, whose martial aspect and enormous
goatee b~etokened a decided character. His
full face, OF rosy hue, showed that he
loved good living, and that his love had
not been unrequited. willis a slight limp
observable In his gait told of a duel In
which he Ind been wounded. The fire.
quent salutations given and returned MS he
passed along left no doubt as TO the ex-
tent OF his acquaintance with the very
mixed society OF the federal metropolis.
Those acquainted with his history said
that he was a South Carolinian who had
served h%onorably In the Florida war, and
who had come TO Washington to prosecute
a claim against the government and lay
Siege to the treasury OF the United States.
Jacob did not serve Laban more faith
fully for Rachel than the gallant Capt.
Corrie (for that was his name) served his
relatives and friends in the wearisome
campaign. Several successive winters
were passed In constant battle. Day aud
night he discharged upon the congress
sional guardians Of the treasury showers
OF campagne and his volleys of oysters and
canvas-back ducks. The siege progressed
but slowly, yet he tagged not, but contin-

pelt the guardians OF the treasury with
boned turkey and claret, Finally he car
ried the place by assault, and his claim
was passed. But alasl the gallant cap
tain found himself no better of han be-
fore. The expense OF the siege had con-
sumed all the fruits OF c~apitulation. He
had enriched several OF his relatives, but
he had wen-nigh ruined himself. tii
Just then he disappeared from Wash
ington. A few weeks after, the New York
papers contained accounts OF n noted
yacht which had been sold to Capt. Corrie,
but which was overhauled by Capt. Isaac
Rynders, then United States marshal,
upon information that she was to be used
In the slave trade. II seemed almost i'm
possible that a vessel so d~elicately fitted
up and so expensively ornamented should
be devoted to the unlawful traffic OF the
middle passage" and Marshal Rynders
and his deputies felt a sort OF sheeplsh
modification at having made the seizure.
She consequently sailed AWAY with flying
colors and the good wishes OF the United
States officers, who had, while she was
under doubt, Toasted from her sumptuous
larder. A few months later the astonish-
ing intelligence was received that the
yacht Wanderer. Capt. Corrie, had landed
on Jeckyl island, near Brunswick, In
Georgia. $50 slaves, brought from the coast
OF Africa. This announcement created a
great excitement at Washington, and sew
eral confidential agents were sent to Sa-
vannah TO ascertain the particulars. 1t
appeared that the negroes had been car
ried into the interior OF Georgia, and some
sent to Alabama and Mississippi. Capt.
Corrie amassed quite a fortune by the i'm
portation Of wool and ivory" as the
negroes were sold at prices ranging from
$1,000 to q, 7oo.-Ben; Perley Poore in Bos-

GIN. CRooK has brought into Fort
Bowie and shipped to Florida, for per-
petual exile, seventy-six of the hostile
Apaches. 1t is believed that there are
only thirty four hostiles left and nearly
half Of these are squaws, who fight On a
pinch, 50 that Gen. Miles, by employing
all the available troops in Arizona, may
be able to bring the Apache business to a
satisfactory conclusion. These thirty four
squaws and bucks should be bagged at all

penditure Of several thousand dollars by
the government, and the sooner they are
all run down the better will it be for the

The personal characteristics Of the Tex
ans are changing. In early times their
lives as pioneers were so hard and fraught
with danger that it made them grave and
even severe; but now they have become
decidedly a gay people; pleasure loving
and pleasure seeking. Formerly, a rigid
plainness and simplicity marked their
lives and surroundings. At this day, even
in the countries remote from the centers
of population, their tastes have become
more luxurious. They crave the ~elegances
and reinements OF life. This is well, and
the natural effect of the superior facili-
ties for education which distinguish the
state. Yet with the simplicity has disap-
peared much Of the hospitality OF the
olden time. The warm and unquestion-
ing welcome grows rarer each day, and
the entertainment Of guests is more a
matter Of circulation. or distinct social OBJ
legation, than n spontaneous %outpouring

ury. Nothing has been published since
his going into ths white house which has
given him more annoyance that the stor
les of his having had a serious difference
Of opinion with Mr.. Manning Just before
the latter was stricken down. Mr.. Man
ming is n of his closest friends. There
has never been any difference between
them since the administration was
formed.
The president has fully made up his
mind not to even consider the subject Of
appointing a new secretary of the treas
ury until MIR. Manning had 70 far recov-
cred as to indicate to him by word of
mouth what he would like to have done.
The president fully believes that Mr..
Manning will recover. He never yet has
entertained the idea that he was going to
lose him from his cabinet. The president
has a way of believing certain things in
spite of the adverse influence of all OPP
posing information or opinions from those
about him.
He holds to the belief that Mr.. Man
ning's full recovery in spite OF the doc
tori opinions that Mr.. Manning, after a
certain period Of rest, will not be able to
assist him again in his councils. The
president does not expect that Mr. Man
ming will be able to devote himself so ex.
clusively to business as he has in the past,
but he thinks that the burden Of the
work in the treasury can be lightened by
shifting a good deal of it to Mr.. Fair
child. All the gossip, therefore, about a
new secretary Of the treasury will have to
fall for a time"

One Of our popular %clergymen, yester-
day. overwhelmed THE LEADER with a
storm Of words regarding its Sabbath edi-
torial He complained hat this paper
had COMPOUNDED the Jewish Sabbath with
the Christian Sunday; and that the new
testament should be studied by the editor
in order to acquire knowledge regarding
the Christian Sabbath. Well, we have
been to the new testament and find that
Jesus himself was publicly branded as a
Sabbath breaker while the writer of the
Epistle to the Colossians distinctly and in
terms abrogates the Sunday law, declar-
ing 1t to be no longer binding on Christ
ians. There is no trace anywhere ofany au-
thoritstive transfer Of Sabbath keeping to
Sunday. The Jewish Christians contin-
ued to Keep their Sabbath, while, at the
same time, they met on Sunday morning
to celebrate the Lord's supper, and keep
in memory their faith in the resurrection
Of Jesus; but the Gentiles generally kept
Sunday only. And for hundreds Of years
il never occurred to the early church that
there was ever any question about its
being wrong to work on Sunday after
their religious service was over, or to en-.
gage in any occupation or Amusement
they pleased.

fingers could. He has invented n plan
which, being well OF, he has decided not
to have patented, but Is willing to make
public for the benefit Of the rest OF suffer

An Adventure on the shirmhh Line
bringing AwAry the Household Furni-
turs-
That reminds me" said a northsider,
that there Is now living in Chicago the
hero OF a furniture scrape or adventure on
the skirmish line. In February, 1853, sew
eral brigades OF Gen. Rosecrans's army oc-
cupied positions south Of Murfreesboro, on
the McMinnville pike. These had felt their
way after the battle Of Stone river rs Tar
70 the front as 1t was safe to go, and forth
fed camps were established at Cripple
creek, ReedyviIe, and other points In sup
porting distance. Our brigade was camped
on the BLUM at the crossing OF Cripple
creek, and we discovered when we had
been there a few days that we were In the
midst of a settlement somewhat divided In
sentiment.
One day an old gray-headed man came
TO the picket line with the story that a
battalion OF rebel cavalry were at Halls
Hills, three miles down the stream. No
one believed this until a message came
from the signal corps to the effect that a
large body Of Confederate cavalry was in
our immediate front. An hour later, or
just before dark. several men approached
our picket post, and preparations were
made to receive them az enemies TIL
man on the lookout came running back to
say that 1t WAS the queerest crowd he had
ever seen.
Looking down the rough road the men
formed in line ready TO fire, saw a process
sion OF men stumbling along under heavy
burdens. One man carried a table on his
head, legs up; another carried q mattress.
another had a bureau on his shoulder.
There were seven or eight men in line, and
each one carried some article OF furniture.
When first challenged they declined to
stop. and a rife was fred to bring them to
n halt.
1.-The man in front put down his burden
and protested with great vehemence
against the shot that had splintered one
of the legs of the table He was SO CON
cerned about his table that he failed to ex-
plain his own conduct. But at last the
story csme out. He was a Union man who
lived about five miles distant, and as the
Confederate cavalry had stolen all his
horses, taken his wagons, and threatened
TO return and burn all his furniture, he
called some Of his neighbors together and
they were carrying that furniture five
miles to get 1t inside the Union lines. They
were hot with labor. irritable and nervous,
but were determined to get their house
hold goods to a place Of safety.
PROPER arrangements were mhuet anu
in time the families were movedinside the
lines. They located temporarily between
the camp and Murfreesboro, then at a
later date went North. When l returned
at the close of the war I found my table
carrier in business here. l ave kept up
acquaintance with him ever since, and
whenever Feb. 10 comes round we cele-
brate the anniversary of the shot that l
fired at the table-leg which he carried on

II you go following Tom or Nelly's

from your maiden aunt, or copy sporting
subjects from your bachelor uncle,
either from love OF their personality or
respect for their intelligence, you are
wasting time entirely and preparing for
yourself difficulties in the future similar
TO those you might feel in making a free
hand drawing after you have been ac-
customed to use tracing paper. For the
first beginning of art, whether for anna
teur or professional, is freedom. You
must run alone, even II you stagger
and fall in the attempt, from
your first moment. But having got
rid Of their advice, let us go a step fur
Their and get rid OF their appreciation.
Perhaps this is even more fatal than
their blame. For in the first place they
seldom care, save for you personally,
and in the second place they seldom
know; and in the third place, if they both
know and care, they will probably be
silent.-Contemporary Review.
