1t is said that mule can not bray if
you tie a weight to his tail and hold it
down. This was touchinglv illustrated
in the cavalry movements that preceded
the second battle of Manassas. Gen.
Stuart, with a large force of cavalry
manoeuvring around the retreating army
! of Pope, got caught between two columns
of the Union troops, and was obliged to
conceal himself In dense wood between
two parallel roads along which the
enemy were retreating. He had to lie
low all night until the columns passed
by. Messengers that the Union generals
sent to each other through the woods
were captured and held with as little
noise as possible.
One great difficulty was to keep the
mules in the ordnance and commissary
wagons from braying and thus calling
the attention of the foe. For this pur-
pose Stuart ordered man to be detained
to stand by each mule and whack him
with stick as soon as he offered to
bray; for mule, like an orator, requires
certain preparation before beginning
his neat and appropriate vocal exercises.
There is preliminary protest made with
the ears, and certain solemnities of the
nostrils, an expression of sorrow over
spreads the countenance, then the tail is
lifted. A bray does not break forth from
the mule. 1t begins way back in the
abdominal viscera and comes gradually
up. Now, as soon as the cavalry mules
began to prepare for a bray, whack!
whacki would go the sticks, and the
bray would be suppressed-and thus all
NIGHT It WAS said that this was need
less severity, for it would have sufficed
to tie brickbat to the tail of each mule.

they would all COOK, IKE so many Ioaves
in a bakers oven. 1 found the roof where
this family had gathered place unique
among the house-tops of New York. An
iron framework enclosed the great sheet
of tin, and from its posts was hung a
pretty awning of blue and white striped
canvas. In hanging baskets and in great
pots were broad-leaved tropic plants, and
two or three birds in pretty cages swung
among the flowers. A complete set of
furniture, all of cane or wicker work,
except the table, completed the appoint
ments. There We're rockers and easy
chairs and settees of split cane in which
to loll and lounge and read and sew.
There, in delightful breeze that kept
the ribbons of the ladies all a-futtering,
we ate dinner that would not have
exchanged for any that was served in
any hot and .stuffy dining-room in the
city on that night. Providence Journal.

There is a lady living here, Mrs. -, who
has had catarrh for many, many years. have
known she had it for fifteen or twenty years,
and my father once doctored her, as she was
then tenant on our place. For the last two
and half years she has been bedridden. the Ca
tarrh or cancer (the numerous physicians have
never decided which,) during her two and a
half years in the bed, had eaten all the roof of
her mouth out. She was so offensive no one
could stay in the room she could not eat any
thing, but could swallow soup If it was strained.
She gave up to die, and came so near perishing
all thought she would die. Her son bought the
B. B. B., and she used several bottles, which ef-
fected an entire cure. She Is now well and
hearty. have not exaggerated one particle.

GREAT GRIEF.

Fr I'M the Athens, (Ga Banner Waterman.
Uncle Dick Sauter says Fifty years ago
had running ulcer on my leg which refused'to
heal under any treatment. In 1853 l went to
California and remained eighteen months, and
in 1878 visited Hot Springs, Ark, remaining
three months, but was not cured. Amputation
was discussed, but 1 concluded to make one
more effort. I commenced taking the B. B. B.
about six weeks ago. The ifty-year- old sore on
my leg is healing rapidly, and yesterday walk
ed about fifteen miles fishing and hunting with
out any pain. and before using! the B. B. B. l
could not walk exceeding half mile. l sleep
soundly at night for the first time in many years.
To think that six bottles have done me more
good than Hot Springs eighteen months in Cal
fornia, besides an immense amount Of medi-
cines and eight or ten frstclass physicians, will
convince any man on earth that it is a wonder
full blood medicine. 1t has also cured me of
catarrh.

staye Eirkes of Norway.

When we had passed through the mag
nificent gorges about Husum, climbing
always higher and higher as we faced the
dashing waters, and last looking over the
carriole wheels at splendid foaming fall
in deep abyss, we came out upon plain
and saw the church Of BOZgund. Its
peaked gables rising in tiers one above the
other and covered from ridge TO ground
with shingles like dragons scales, were
outlined agaisnt the clearcst blue sky,
and with its dragon finals from every
point, like a Chinese temple, it stood the
strangest object one might expect TO find
in that lone mountain valley.
This architectural freak is q precious
relic of the Twelfth century that the Anti
quarian Society Of Christiania now owns
and preserves as an example Of the old
stave kirkes that were common in the ear
lier days before the plague robbed Norway
of half its inhabitants and left these
parishes desolate. II is preserved intact,
the pine shingles getting the deeper and
richer brown with every year and every
renewing coat of varnish, and the interior
a dark well lighted only by pair of air
holes high up. In the crowd OF shingled
gables one can trace cruciform shape
but with the queer little outside gallery
running under the caves that so nearly
reach the ground, the quaint and bulging
domes at front and rear and the doorway
carved with an intricate interlacing de
sign and Runic inscription scratched by
chance Just within the portal, 1t is thing
apart from all the rest of architecture. -

"The Devil and tn. Deem Sc, -

The old story of the poor soul who was
caught between The devil and the deep
sea, gets new illustration from the deal
ing of doctors and drugs with malaria The
story is soon told: My daughter" said a
lady, had been struggling with malaria for
four years. She was all the time out of
heslth-pOOr appetite, disOrdered digestion,
pale earthly color, pain in the head, limbs
and back, and every now and then a right
hard chill, followed by fever. Then We
would send for our doctor and he would
prescribe quinine, just as he did from the
irst-and 50 kept doing all slOng-until the
name Of quinine sounds like the tolling of
the bell. Clearly between the two, her
health was being ruined and her very life in
peril. She was really between The devil
and the deep sea- Sometimes the name is
varied, and it Is called some other inc in
place of quinine, but it is all the same-the
old firm with new sign. In this dilema
lady friend said: Why not try Humph-
rey'S Homeopathic Specifics, Nos. Ten and
Sixteen tried them. They were a sue
cess from the first, and not only cured the
malaria, but restored her to perfect health,
and left no trace of disease or drug pOis-

Excitement over a Marvellous Cure in Eng

The newspapers Of Great Britain are
filled with accounts of the wonderful re-
cOvery of a young man who had been so i'll
with asthma and rheumatism that he could
not lie down in bed for nine long years.
This cure was due to the Shakers Of Mount
Lebanon. n. Y. They say that this. like
nearly all others, was the result of indi-
geStion, and that the Shaker Extract of
Roots tSie.e's Syrup effected this wonder
full cure by restoring the digestive organs to
a healthy condition, Obviating entirely those
disagreeable turns of sick headache,
hillousneSs. &c. The Shakers say they
have spent fifty years in perfecting this
remedy for Dyspepsia, and that its effects
upon the digestive organs is something
wonderful.
