A Watch From the Battle Field.

After the battle of Stone River a
Union soldier took from the body of q
Confederate officer fine, large, silver,
Lunting-cased watch bearing the inscrip-
tion:
$40 III. S. Smith, Company c. 4th
Mississippi Infantry, G. 5. A."
The watch passed through two or three
hands, and was finally traded to mem
Der of Michigan regiment for pint of
whisky. He brought it home with him,
and two or three years ago was killed
at one of the railroad crossings. He was
the debtor of p. A. Ball, at No. 1923
Grand River Avenue, to a considerable
amount, and the watch came into the
latter gen.lenan's possession at GER
tain valuation. He is still possessed of
it, but, thinking the relic might have
great value in the eyes of the dead mans
friends, he is willing to surrender it to
them when properly identified. N. s.
Smith was doubtless the first captain of
the company, and the watch was pre-
sented him either by his townspeople or
the company.-Detroit Free Press.

The Origin ofa Common Expression

"Not lost, but gone before" is very
common expression, and yet its true
source HIS been almost wholly over
looked. 1t has figured as an epi.aph
unon the gravestones, and has been
utilized bv the poets and other writers.
The thought is, indeed, a Christian
thoupht. but the words are the words OF
! nagan. 1t was the stole Seneca who
said -Not lost, but gone before There

and which many would shun unless Il

The meaning of this Is not that OF the
Christian. and nothing else In Seneca, so
far a. we can discover. can be compared
With the phrase under consideration.

AHorse,s InteIIicence.

A Stroudsburg. Pa. correspondent
writes: a horse which has been in pos
session of the Peters family, in Bushiull.
Pa, for twenty years, and which was
famous for the almost human inteili-
genCe he frequently displayed. died re-
Gently. During the last few years of
the horses life he had been permitted
to run at liberty. but was frequently
hitched to haul the dead bodies OF cattle
or horses that died on the farm to n
place near the Delaware river. where
the carcasses We're buried. The old horse
always stood near and watched the
burials with great interest and atten-
ton.
Some time ago this horse fell sick
One day he was missed from hio en-
closure where he was being cared for,
a search was made for him, and he was
finally found lying dead on the spot
where he had hauled the dead bodies of
so many of his kind. As the place was
ont of the way of the old horses usual
haunts, and rs he had never been
known to 90 there except when driven
there with some dead animal. no one
who knew the horse believes that he did
not seek the spot feeling that he was
about to die, and to save the trouble of
hauling his dead body there 10 be
buried
Among the instances told Of his intel
ligence are the following: Late one
night members of the family that owned
him were awakened by great noise on
piazza of the house. There was the
loud neighing of horse and the heavy
stamping on the piazza floor. One of
the inmates of the house went to the
door. There was the old horse stamp
ing and kicking and neighing with all
his power The discovery was made
that an clubhouse near the dwelling was
on fire. The old horse had given the
alarm. and a disastrous fire was pre-
vented.
One spring there was flood in
stream on the place. A blind horse be-
longing to a neighbor got out of its
pasture, and, wandering down to the
swollen stream. in some way got into
the water. 1t swan about in a circle
and was unable 10 reach either shore.
No one could render any aid to thepoor
animal. and there seemed no escape for
it from drowning. The old Peters horse
came along while the blind horse was
Struggling in the water. and. after
moments survey. Of the situation
plunged in. He swan out to the blind
horse and headed it off as it turned to
make its usual circle, thus keeping its
head pointed staight for shore as it
swan. BY heading the blind horse first
on one side and then on the other he
guided it safely to shore.

The snake Had Taken a jackpot.

John Shanahan, workman employ
ed IT the Carson street main. is respon-
sibie for the following story. Said Mr.
Shanahan: Il was digging dowa in the
main near TemperanceviIle when pull
ed out what took to be clump of
roots shoyaIed the sguff up by the
side of the coal fire we have to tiiasv out
the surface, and in little while saw
the roots a-wiggiing around like fish
worms. | got up out OF the trench and
examined the roots and found That they
were not roots. but snakes Yes, sir,
there were five Of them-four little ones
and one big gray fellow at least two
feet long when he got stretched out.
Along about the middle of the snake was
a big bunch-a piece that kind O bulg-
ed out That struck me as rather queer,
an | cut him in Two with my shovel.
Well, sir, what do you suppose found?

years. to see what Furport this carrying
Of sticks and punches of grass might
have, and have only learned that it has
nothing whatever 10 do with the wealth
er. or at least with coming rain-storms.
The drought OF summer Is so far 2 con-
venience as to throw light upon this
habit, as it did upon the uneasy COWS.
Pigs carry sticks as frequently then as
during wet weather, or Just preceding
shower. furthermore, these gathered
twigs are not brought together as though
to make a nest, but are scattered about
in a perfect aimless manner. For some
cause, the animal is uneasy. and takes
this curious method OF relieving itself.
The probabilities are that it is n sur
vival of some habit common TO swine IN
their feral condition, just as we see
dog turn about half dozen times before
lying down.
In an interesting paper on local
weather-lore. read BY Mr.. Amos w.
Butler before the American Association
for the Advancement of Science. during
the Philadelphia meeting OF 1884, the
author has another version of this say
ing: "When hogs gather up sticks and
carry them about, expect cold weather.
This is wholly at variance with what !
have observed, for my memoranda
record this habit almost wholly during
the hot weather, and this must neces-
sarrly be the rule with New Jersey
swine. or the local weather-prophess
would not have coined the verse as ]
