Saunders, of Arkansaw."

Captain McGratb, clerk of the supreme
court, tells good story of his war expe.
rience, says the Chicago Mail, going to
show that during the war at least the
world sometimes seemed so small that
you we're continually knocking against
somebody you didn't expect to meet.
Just after the fall of Vicksburg. the
captains regiment, the Seventeenth Wis
consin, had charge of lot of prisoners,
most of whom had manned the works
Immediately in front of them during the
siege. These prisoners were supplied
with rations under Gen. Grants order,
the same as their guards, but they didn't
always, or even generally, eat alone. The
Union soldiers followed with them to a
great extent, and, while guarding them
as prisoners, really treated them as old
friends and discussed the incidents of
the siege with them with great relish.
Among the prisoners was young officer
named Saunders, belonging to an Arkan-
sas regiment, who became fayorite in
the camp of the Seventeenth, and spent
good deal of time for few days among
its officers. He had come of good fam
lily, was well educated. and among gens
tlemen always gentleman. When he
was paroled few days later he parted
from his recent foes, now friends, with
evident regret, taking with him new
Yankee uniform which his entertainers
had made up for him to replace the tat
tered garb in which he had been captur-
ed. He went away never expecting to
see his new found friends again, but a
few weeks later, as the regiment was
approaching Natchez early one morning,
a lone horseman in a blue uniform,
mounted on a mule, was seen approach
ing from the direction of the city. He
evidently did not see the bluecoats until
they were nearly upon him, and then
seemed anxious to avoid a meeting-a
kind of conduct the soldiers couldn't
understand at first, as he wore the blue.
The soldiers thought they must have
caught spy, but the first officer who
came up identified Saunders. Being
among friends it was easy to parole, and
he was soon free again, and this time
crossed the river and went home to Ar
kansas.
A year later the rebel and union ar
mics were confronting each other near
Atlanta. There had been sharp firing
on the picket line all day. just as it was
getting dark it let up little, and pretty
soon voice called out from the Confed-
crate rifle pits:
"What regiment is that?"
The answer went back:
Seventeenth Wisconsin,
Then came the surprising inquiry:
"Is McAuley there?"
"Yes."
"Is McGrath there?"
"Yes. Who the-are you?"
Saunders, of Arkinsaw."
A shout greeted this announcement,
and Saunders, of Arkinsaw,'' was
promptly invited over. He came, and
on invitation brought a party of fellow
rebels with him. Then, as so often hap
pened both in the east and west during
the war, men who had spent the day in
active efforts to take each others lives
gathered around the same camp fire in
the evening as closest friends, and then
again each to his post of duty
to look upon each other as infidel dogs
or hated giaours.

The Wellston Argus, published in the
mining region, has the following about
one Of the tabor reform" bits of schem-
ing of John Mcbride:
when Warwick was nominated for
Lieutenant Governor three years ago, he
found in Mcbride a supple tool to be for
him. Warwick was charged by the
Trades Assembly of Cincinnati with
having used his influence to bring troops
to the mines during strike. Mcbride
denied the story for Warwick, but when
confronted with the facts confessed its
truth. This so enraged Warwick and
the Democratic leaders that they threat
ened to put Mcbride off the ticket if he
would not go to Cincinnati and lie to
the Trades Assembly on Warwick's ac-
count. Accordingly Mcbride, with War
wick's money in his pocket, appeared be-
fore the Trades Assembly, and with
many protestations of love for all work.
ing men, begged to have the resolution
condemning Warwick rescinded, assur-
ing all present, through mass of per
verted kilograms and cunningly connived
wicked lies invented by John for the oc-
casion, that Warwick was not in the
state when the call for troops was made
that be was in the south travelling for
his health at the time, sc.
"And this is the man who has been
nominated by the Democracy for Secre-
tary of State in the hope and belief, and
with McBride's assurance, that the
miners and the knights of Labor and
the Trades Unions generally will rush
up to the polls and vote for him at the
November election. AS the Scotch say,
The mans gaen gyte."

Grains Of Gold.

In the graveyard we are all alike.
A flow of words is no proof of wisdom.
Better it be done than wish it had been.
1t is much easier to be critical than
correct.
Expressing thoughts intelligently is
trade by itself.
To reason with the angry is like whis-
pering to the deaf.
Wisdom listens in confidence, but is
seldom confidential in return.
Wit that finds recreation in friends
discontinue is an insult.
Do not shirk your duty or try to
make others bear your burden.
Reflection is the satisfaction of the
upright, the enemy of TOgues.
Method is the very hinge to business,
and there is no method without punctu-
ality.
Our happiness and misery are trusted
to our conduct,and made to depend on 1t.
The homage merited by virtue in life
is too often rendered by strewn flowers
at its tomb.
There are plenty of people who
can attend to the affairs of others
better than their own.
The heart of the uDgrateful is like the
desert, which absorbs the rain but pro-
duces nothing.
If you would take to yourself little
of the good advice you are so willing to
give to others it would do no harm.
Honesty may not alway win, but gen.
orally lives respectfully and to be respee-
ed. There is some solace in this fact.
Don't spoil to-day by thinking of to-
morrow, or mar your breakfast by spec
ulating on what you shall have for DIM
ner.
True humanity consists not in squeam-
ish ear; it consists not in starting and
at tales of misery, but in dis
position of heart to relieve it.

SPIES, the convicted Chicago Anarch+
ist, is eccentric as we'll as wicked. He
protests strongly against the efforts of
his counsel to secure new trial for him,
as also against his friends begging for
funds for his defense, and rather courts
hanging than an escape therefrom thro'
legal Quibbles. He says he always had
a presentment that he was born to be
hanged, and on this account abstained
from marriage. This is one of very few
cases where it can be safely wished that
presentment may be verified.

The Cost of the White House.

Most people believe that the S5o,- 900 year that the President gets as his salary is the sum total. This is a mistake. The estimate of the amount which Congress is to appropriate this year lies before me, open at the page relating to the President. 1 see that S36, 6,o64 IS asked for him, in addition to his salary of $50, ,ooo, to pay the salaries of his subordinates and clerks. His private secretary is paid S3,25o, his assistant private secretary, S2,e5o, his stenographef SI, 500; five messen- gers each ST, 200; a steward ST, ,oo; two door keepers who each get sI,aoo; four clerks at good salaries; one tele- graph operator; two ushers getting SI, 200 and ST, 400; a night usher get ting ST, 200; a watchman who gets 5000; and man to take care of fires who receives SS64 year.
 In addition to this there is set down sS,ooo for incidental expenses, such as stationery, carpets and the care of the Presidents stables.
 And further on, under another head ing, there is a demand for nearly S4o,- 900 more.
 or this, SIa,soo is for repairs and furnishing the White House; S2. 500 + for fuel, S4,ooo is for the green house and SI5,oo IS for gas, matches ant the stables. The White House al told costs the country, in connection with the President, considerably ovcI SIPS, 900 a year.-Ex.

 Speaking of walters reminds me of one at Glendive, Montana. We had to telegraph ahead in order to get a place to sleep, and when we registered the landlord showed out an old double entry journal for us to record our names and postoffice address in. The office was the bar, and before we could get rooms assigned us we had to wait forty-hve minutes for the landlord to collect pay for thirteen drinks and lick personal friend. Finally, when he got around by me, he told me that l could sleep in the night bartender's $ bed, as he would be up all night, and might possibly get killed and never need 1t again anyhow. It would cost me S4 cash in advance to sleep one night in the bartender's bed, he said, and the house was so blamed full that he and his wife had got to wait until things got kind of quieted down, and then they would have to put mat tress on the fifteen- ball pool table and sleep there.
 called attention to my valuable yalise that had been purchased at grea. cost, and told him that he would be safe to keep that behind the bar till paid, but he said he wasn't in the second hand valiSe business. so I paid in advance. It was humilia- ting, but he had the edge on me.
 At the teatable l noticed that the waiter was young man, who evl- dently had not been always thus. He had the ar of one who yarns to have some one tread on the tail of his coat. Meekness, with me, Is on of my char acteristIcs. It Is almost a passion. IL Is the result of personal injuries re- ceived in former years at the hand of parties who excelled me in brute force, and who succeeded in drawing me out in conversation, as it were, til made remarks that were injudi- cioIs.
 So 1 did not disagree with the wal ter, although l had grounds. When he came around and sported Tn my ear, "Salt pork, antelope and cold beans," at the same time leaning hls full weight on my back, while he evaded the revenue laws by retailing his breath to the guests without a license, I thought 1 would call for what he had the most of, SO ] said if he didn't mind and it wouldn't be too much trouble. l would take cold beans.
 1 will leave 1t to the calm, impaS- siouate and bipartisan reader to state whether that remark ought to create nj itehng. l do not think il ought, However, he was irritable, and life to him seemed to be cold and dark, so he went to the general delivery win - dow that led into the cold bean labor atory, and remarked in a hoarse, isso- lent and ironical voice:
