Where Morgan Fell.

A writer in the Pittsburgh Dispatch
had pointed out to him in Greenville,
Tenn, marble slab in an oat field
neer an old fashioned brick mansion.
1t marks the spot where Morgan, the
raider, fell dead September a, 1864.
The story told is that the owner OF
the mansion, DR.. Williams, was an ar
dent Unionist, while his wife was a
rebel. They had agreed with each
other to entertain both sides impair
TALLY, and neither was to betray the
guests of the other. Nine months
after his escape from the Ohio peniten-
tiary Morgan appeared in this region
and with his officers stopped at this
house, and was Hospitality entertained
by Mrs. Williams. Her husband was
acting as surgeon for the federals at
Knoxville. A domestic III the house
had a sweetheart in the federal caval-
ry thirty-six miles away. She
slipped out after supper, saddled a
horse and rode at full speed to the
Union force with the information. A
detachment reached the house in the
gay VI Gile IlOllillS Gilu SpIcdu OuJ
around it. The sentinels opened fire,
and Morgan with two aids broke out
OF the rear door and dashed through
the hostile force amid a shower of bull
let's. The aids fell, but Morgan escap-
ed into the garden to be picked off by
q sharpshooter, who sat on q horse
under a tree and caughtaa a view OF hlm
as he ran. The man who killed him
picked up his body, and stick was
set upto mark the spot, being after
wards replaced by astone. The wom-
an who gave the information is a

Observation-Disclosures.

eve were the guests OF a well-known
London club" said Mr.. Depew,
Shortly after we reached London,
and were treated to a very nice dinner.
When the speech making began, Gen.
Porter led off, and followed. / began
with an apology, saying that Gen.
Porter had stolen my best stories,
and that Mr.. Dougherty's stories were
so bad that I would leave all OF them
for him to tell. Then / looked
around and every Englishman in the
room was sitting as solemn and un-
moved as marble statue. 1t was q
dreadfully wet blanket to throw over
a man who was trying to be enter
tanning, but got through somehow.
Gen. Porter had said that he had ar
rived in England by the Lane route,
and that he had found it very pleas
ant to see the trees growing along the
lane, and to hear the birds singing in
the branches. That, too, was receiv-
ed by the Englishmen in profound 81
lence. When the affair was over we
went after our hats and coats, and 1
heard a man behind the cloak screen
say: 'Dayvilish queer fellahs, those
Americans, don't you know? Steal
ing stories from each other! DIG you
ever hear ofsuch breach ofconfidence2
Yes said another, but did you hear
what that fellow said about the Lane
route? Why, that man is the most
surprising liar l ever saw. Do you
know I've been to America and back
by the Lane route myself, and / do
assure you, gentlemen, thatyou won't
find so much as a shrub growing any
where between the continents. Trees
indeed! Really, the Americans are a
dreadfully unprincipled set of people. "

Running to Catch the Train.
'rom the Youths Companion.

sFroh the Youths Companion.
Think of the vast number of rail-
road stations, constantly emptied to
be filled with q new set OF travellers!
Now, quite portion Of the popula-
stion as a whole, and a larger portion
OF those who make up the travelling
public, are in condition that makes
it unsafe for them to become excited,
i to act suddenly, or to put forth un-
wonted exertions. Their hearts are
enlarged and dilated; or have under
gone fatty, or other form OF degenera-
ton; or there is a dangerous aneurism
OF the aorta.
With care and the habit ofrigid self
control, each may enjoy comfortable
health for many years, or even to old
age; but single violent act may re-
suit in instant death.
Many of these are wholly unaware
OF any serious heart trouble Yet
every day and everywhere may be
seen persons, perhaps with heavy
satchels, Or other incumbrance, hur.
rying for the train. to save themselves
from being left.
Says the medical reporter, eff q
record of all such cases could be made,
it would probably be found that
deaths or serious injuries occasioned
by lightning orhydrophobia, SO much
spoken OF and dreaded, would bear
but a small proportion to those re-
.sulting from the daily, incessant.
desperate efforts to catch the train. Z"
( The editor adds the case OF a friend,

had any sickness, who finding him

On reaching the station, he sat

run that way again." instantly fell
down and was dead. @
OF course it is annoying to find one

business is involved. Yet it is never
necessary either to run or to hurry.
All we have to do is to start in season,
Ito form the habit of being on time,
leaving q good margin for possible
delays and the possible variation OF
the watch from the standard time.
The habit will be worth in other di-
rections, moral as well as physical, all
it would cost.
Form it, and there will::be no occa-
sion to hurry to catch the train.

The Autumnal Equinox

tumnal equinox occurs. Thesun then
enters the sign Libra, the ecliptic and

astronomical autumn commences.
The sun shinesfrom pole topole, night

opment crowns the picture. The
earth has yielded her choicest treas

harvests load the broad fields, trees
bend under the weight OF sripeping
fruit, flowers of brilliant hue brighten
the landscape, the elimination OF the

ent. But even at this interesting point

there is q foreshadowing of change.

equinox occurs the sungoes into south

Hay Fever.

A very singular and practically un-
explained malady prevails during the
summer months known variously as
hay fever, hay asthma, summer ca
tarrh, rose cold and several other ap.
pellations. Happily it is OF compare
lively rare occurrence, as it is both
painful and exhausting to it's victims.
1t is y catarrhal affection oft respira.
tory mucous membrane, and as it oc-
ours frequently during the hay season
it has been thought to be due to the
inhalation OF the emanatlons from
grass. The symptoms are those com
monty experienced in the case of a
severe cold or influenza, consisting OF
headache, violent sneezing and watery
discharges from the eyes and nostrils.
together with a hard, dry cough and
occasional severe asthmatic parox-
ysms. The attack usually runs a
course of from two to six weeks,
though it is often found amenable to
treatment, in which case it disappears
sooner, to reappear, however, pre-
clsely one year afterward.
The malady IS admirably portray
ed by DIR. E. N. Holmes, as follows:
"The salient trait which most at.
hay fever is its sannualrecurrence This
sgrafted on its life history. becomes its
central point OF diagnosis, the chief
characteristic OF the disease, and to
the elucidation OF this all existing
theories tend. 1t is, however, not suf.
ticiently recognized that we come here
upon a problem which we are totally
unable to solve elsewhere, and we can
by no means be wiser in the interpre-
tation OF this than we are compelled
to be in the discussion OF diseases far
longer known. The reason of the rhyth-
mic measures OF the most ordinary OF
every day events is not, and cannot
be understood. Their unfailing recur-
renee at the appointed time is recog-
nlzed, but the determination thereof
then, rather than at some other peri
cd, cannot be explained. AS long as
the cause was held to be an exter-
nal one, there was little en-.
couragement for treatment, and
but little progress made. The more
recent discussions, which recognize hay
fever as i'll the individual, and not in
the surrounding ether, and the causa-
tion nos a vague. shifting irritant, but
an actual abiding disease, have been
productive of much benefit. Not that
we yet understand the true, innate
quality OF the disease, but we now have
at least a good working hypothesis,
yielding some sound practical results.
1t is great gain to have discovered
that as the symptoms Of the malady
are so prominently referred to the
nasal regions and may induce local
disorders, so pre- existent, and second
airy LESSONS may in turn result in in
creased centric irritability, and their
reparation is imperative before the
deep-seated elements can be eradicated
nay, even in some cases may be the
uprooting OF the disease itself."-

FAMILY DIFFERENCES.
Some Striking Instances Developed In tho Ci''

F. a. B. in the Philadelphia Times.
During the war there were several
striking instances OF family difference
over the questions at issue. John j.
Crittenden, OF Kentucky, had two sons
one in the confederate and the other
in the Union. Right here III Pennsyl..
vania we had very notable case OF
the same sort. The two McAlister
bows will be remembered by many OF
the Times readers. They lived up in
Juniata county. Tom McAlister was
member OF our legislature at least one
term then went south. Robert meal
lister, his brother, drifted over INTO
New Jersey and became a citizen OF
that state. When the war broke put
Tom entered the confederate army ana
became a brigadier-general. Robert
McAllister stood by the Union and
commanded brigade on our side OF
the fight. Frequently these two
brothers struck each Others hard
blows in the fierce furnace OF war.
Time after time they threw their brl-
gades against each other with terrific
force, each probably fighting the hard
er against the other for the pride in
their cause, which the ties OF blood
not only did not diminish, but in
creased.
In Bath county, Va, there lives q
very prominent family by the name
of Terrill Before the war it cut con-
siderable of a swath in the social and
political life OF that section. When
the war broke out William II. Terrill,
one OF the sons, took to the Union
side and soon became soldier OF
great promise. He was killed while
leading brigade at Perryville, where
the gallant Jackson fell, and where Gen.
Lytle, who wrote 81 am dying, Egypt,
dying" was wounded. His death was
q sad one, for he was Just reaching aft
er the flower OF great lame. 1t is easy
for me to recall the circumstances of
his heroic fall when some of the bravest
and the best of the Second Michigan
Cavalry followed this gallant soldier
to the unseen land.
Gen. Terrill's brother went into the
Confederate army and while leading
his brigade at Cold Harbor WAS killed

them on the farm where both had
spent their childhood days and where
they had grown to manhood and there
parted over question OF duty to
State or nation. Both had lain down
their lives for their sentiments. Be-
tween the simple graves of the two
boys the father has erected q marble
slab. A most touching inscription is
cut in the white stone 1t chides nei-
ther one. Itexpresses faith in the Crea"
tor and leaves him to Judge OF his two
heroes conduct. 1t is simple line
and reads:

There was much more that was pa
thetic in Col. Jones's recital OF this
touching incident of war. But here is
enough to Illustrate how cruel the diff
| ferences in this life really are. The
| conflict in the Taylor family over pol
itics is not sad, but funny But the
arrangements which war made were
sad and bitter enough to bring sympa-
thy and tears.

A Bell's Five Hundred Years,

London Times. .
The city Of Breslau celebrated the
five hundredth anniversary OF an oc-
currence which was memorable in the
history OF the town and is known
wherever German poetry finds u
home. The bell which hangs in the
southern tower of st. Mary's church
and is named "St. Mary's bell," but
is usually known as "thepoor sinner s.
bell" rang out morning and evening
on July Z to remind all who heard it
that it was cast on that day five hun
dred years ago. Next day (Sun-
day. the preacher reminded his con-
gregation of the pathetic story which
has made it singular among bells,
how, when all was ready for casting,
the bell founder withdrew for few
moments, leaving q boy in charge OF
the furnace, warning him not to med
die with the catch that secured the
seething metal in the caldron. But
the boy disregarded the caution, and
then, terrified on seeing the molten
metal beginning to flow into the mold,
called to the bell founder for help.
Rushing in and finding what he had
intended to be hismasterpiece ruined,
as he thought, angered to madness,
he slew the boy on the spot. When
the metal had cooled and the mold
was opened, the bell was found to be
an exquisite work perfect in finish and
OF marvellous sweetness OF tone. Com
ming to his senses, he recognized his
bloody work and straightway gave
himselfup to the magistrates. "Blood
| for blood" was the law; he was con.
demned to die, and he went to his
doom while his beautiful bell pealed
an invitation to all to pray for "the
| poor sinner" whence its name. w,
Muller has enshrined the sad story in
u ballad OF touching simplicity.

Not a Poor Man Against Home Rule

During the Easter holt LAYS British states.

Mr. Psrnell were notably quiet AMI their rep.
