For stufling purposes pine shavings
are now largely used, there being at
Pesth, in Hungary, an extensive factory
devoted exclusively to the production of
such shavings, and these, by the aid Of
machinery, are reduced to such de-
gree of fineness that the product closely
resembles tow. Shavings of this kind
are superior, it is asserted, to every
other substitute for horse hair in con-
nection with upholstering purposes,
alike as regards elasticity, softness and
durability; for bedding they are recon-
mended on account of the resin con-
tanned in the wood being an effectual
preventive of vermin, the utility of the
material in this line, especially for hos
pital and barrack purposes, having
been satisfactorily tested by the Ger
man government After having been
used as stufing for some five or six
years the shavings can be renovated by
being exposed to the heat of the sun or
. heightened temperature.

PRICE ONE CENT
Mr.. Gladssone,s Voice.

In its account of the debate upon the
home-rule bill the I'dll Mall Gazette
says: At last Mr.. Gladstone rose, and
nobody who has not been in the house
on a great occasion can know exactly
what even old spectators feel then. A
different spirit seems 10 come over
every thing "A different atmosphere
seems to be upon the house, something
like the effect caused by the raising of
the gauZe curtain before q transforma-
tion scene. All is there as it was, but
different After midnight the members
lobby was crowded with eager and anx-
ious groups, but tho two words, "Glad-
stones up caused them to stampede
into the house like flock of sheep be-
fore watcndog-not to 90 in leisurely,
and with dignity, but literally to turn
and run helter-skelter, all alike. old
parliamentary hands.and young M. p. S
to whom the house seems yet more like
a new school. The prime minister was
very pale-valmost as white as the flower
in his buttonhole-and there was an
added solemnity in his manner befitting
the occasion. Best of all, however he
was in splendid voice. 1t rang as clear
as in years gone by, and what a voice
it is! To begin with, it is of extraordi-
nary compass, from the light high BAN
tering note in which he twitted the
tories with endeavoring ito adorn the
laugh-to decorate it-with an idea,
down to the deep, resonant, Intention
ally hoarse bass to which it sank as he
spoke of the profound and bitter con-
demnation,o with which the English
action toward Ireland was universally
received. Then the fexibility of it,
too! From top note to bottom Mr.
Gladstone passes as lightly and smooth
ly and easily as birds carol. But the
quality of it-how can one describe
thatP 1t is impossible to do so without
seeming to fall into absurd hyperbole
There is something so winning, so
magnetic" !" in Mr.. Gladstone's voice,
as it was once more, and as we can
hardly venture to hope that it will be
again, that it is necessary to seek far
for simile. A cathedral bell sounded
far away over river, waterfall heard
a long way off in the stiffness of night,
the sea rolling slowly in over & nebbly
beach, summer wind blowing over a
hilltop of pines-in each of these there
is a strange, indescribable quality which
sometimes makes ones eyes fill and
ones throat contract for mere physical
sympathy, and in Mr.. Gladstone's
voice, when he will, there is the same
note. The admirable construction of
his speech, how it began by few per-
sonalities and reference to his immedl-
ate predecessors in debate, how it
passed gradually to elaborate historical
argument, how it turned to denuncia-
ton of the rival policy, how there came
into it the touch of national poetry, and
the picture of Erin with the cup at her
lips-picture finished with a touch of
Virgil-how it concluded with a solemn
appeal for a ''blessed oblivion of the
past, " and "happiness, prosperity, and
peace" for the years that are to come
these, and the utter absence of any per-
sonal taint, any complaint, any refer
ence to the speakers own person, all
can see who will read it. But that
voice-is only an inalienable memory.

The two men of middle age con-
centrated their gaze upon the ex-Con
federate leader with rare interest, and
turning abruptly to the gentleman
whose remark they had overheard,
said simultaneously "You dou't
mean tp say that that's tho rebel
general Joseph E. Johnston, who
surrendered to General Sherman
That's Gen. Jos. Il. Johnston for
sure" replied tho lawyer who was
under him during the war, "but he
never surrendered to Sherman. He
never surrendered to anybody, he
merely capitula,ed when he and his
command got tired of the monotony
OF whipping the Yankees.

One of the small, rocky islands Of
Pyramid Lake, Nevada, is alive with
rattlesnakes. 1t is supposed that the
progenitors of these snakes were waited
TO the island on punches of floating
reeds or RATS of driftwood. There are
thousands, If not millions the people
about the lake say millions-of the rat
tiers on the island, and their right to ii
there is 'none to dispute. = The rep
tiles have their homes among the rocks
and feed upon the eggs and young Of
waterfowl and dead fish that are cast
on the island. Stories have been told
of these snakes rushing forth in body,
Kissing and rafting. to attack any one
landing upon the island. The rattle
snakes of the island, when disturbed,
glide away and hide themselves in the
crevices of the rocks, just as would
similar snakes on the mainland,
though they halt and show fight when
hard pressed.

Glow Bridge"

The Colonel of raw New-York regiment,
which had been hastily raised and sent forward,
suddenly found his command the only reserve
or supporting force to brigade engaged in his
front, and which was fast breaking to the rear.
The stream of wounded and stragglers, with
direful reports from the front, made his new
men nervous and distracted their thoughts
They had been recruited largely in the towns
along the Erie Canal. The order came to move
forward under fire and engage the enemy
With many misgivings, not unwarranted, as to
the result, he put the line in motion, and, in
spite of his utmost efforts, saw it bend, waver,
and partially separate. Just then two enor-
nous elongated percussion shells struck the
ground about 20 yards in front, and. without
exploding bounded over his regiment with the
most terrible whirring sound imaginable. Of
course every man stopped and ducked his head
nearly to the ground. He felt sure the line
would go to pieces. But at that instant some
canal boy with native drawl sang out " Low

and laughter from one end to the other The

81 didn't mean to do it, but / did it, and gained
considerable reputation through what may be
regarded as an accident 1t was on the march
of Buells army northward from the line of the
Tennessee to Louisville. / reported to the
Lieutenant-C Colonel that could not march, and
asked TO be put in an ambulance. My feet
were in a terri bic condition, and the Colonel
sympathized with me, but informed me that all
the ambulances were full and that | must pull
through in some way. / conferred with five or
six Of the fellows and we decided to steal a
hand car and go by rail. Our theory was that
the railway ran alongside of the turnpike and
that in case Of trouble we could join our br-
gade when wanted. But we assumed too much
on this point and on Others. The turnpike
goes straight over Muldroughs Hill. The rail-
road makes long curve OF bend, and this car
ried us Off toward the rebel lines. While Gen.
Buell. kept control of the turnpike the rebels
had captured several points on the railroad.
We did not know this, and did not know that
the railway was for so great distance so far
from the pike; but we got started and made
our way up the incline of the hill and began
the descent when we discovered that our car
had no brake. This did not give us much un-
easiness, as we went along at q tearing rate
without any work. But we soon discovered
that we were on territory held by Gen. Bragg's
army or by his advance. We came upon the
struggling guards so suddenly that they could
put no obstruction in our way, and we flew by
like the wind. We were ordered to stop a
hundred times, but we could not have stopped
had We wanted to. Without moving hand
this squad Of bluc-ceats went charging along on
the flank OF the rebel army, creating as much
