A Story of the New York Militia

Gen. Bertrand visited this country in
the fall of 1S43, and make quite stay
at New York He was Of a noble pre-.
sence, though, like Napoleon, below
the medium height His features eX-
pressed honesty, trmncss and rapid in
telligence, the latter expression aided BY
eyes of unusual brillancy. His hair was
quite white. Possessing all the natu-
raj pOliteness of Frenchman, he was a
man of very few words, very collected,
but very courteous. The Light Guards
made him a guest of honor at dinner
given by Charles StetsOn of the Aston
House, when he was made lieutenant
In that famous corps, and the General
was very felicitous in the remarks which
he made. On Evacuation Day, the 25th
of November, the entire cit military,
commanded by Gen. Sanford, paraded
on the Battery, and were marched up
Broadway to the park, where they
passed in review before the French hero.
Rome, in the days of her broadcast en-
pire, never showed greater variety of
nations in their distinctive uniforms
among her troops than there were
among these. Some of the regiments
were well disciplined and drilled, while
Others would have disgraced an old
fashioned New Hampshire training. I'm
mediately after the review the General
who sailed for France that afternoon
was entertained at lunch by party of
officers, and one of them, with more en-
thusiasm than wisdom, insisted that
their guests should frankly give his
opinion of the militia of the State of
New York, as he had seen them that
day. This was rather poser to the old
veteran, but the request was vociferous-
ly seconded, and at last he rose, evil
IDENTIFY not knowing exactly what he
should say. Measuring every word, as
if he was at the same time cropping into
the future for the word which was to
follow it, the General said: "Messieurs
les officers-You much fatter me by
asking my opinion of the miIice of the
City of New York. | have seen re

His Teeth in His Throat.

Some four years ago Rev Richard P.
Baughman of Orrville, Ohio, went to
bed with yulcanized rubber plate hold
ing four teeth (all incisors) in his mouth.
During the night, while he was asleep.
the plate became dislodged and slipped
down his windpipe. All attempts to
remove it were unsucces full, and various
physicians tackled the case to remove
the foreign substance, which had been
pushed into the asophagus and LODGED
there on the right side, where it is now.
Rev. Baughman suffered indescribablo
pain in consequence, and from a once
heavy weight of nearly two hundred
pounds has fallen to the rather light
weight of one hundred and thirty
pounds. His speech betrays the pres
ence OF some foreign substance in his
| throat, and his continued hawking is
caused by the teeth, which have made
him resemble a consumptive, vet re.
cent examination made by a medical ex-
pert in Chicago showed that his lungs
we're sound and that his coughing was
caused by the teeth. During the four
wears he has had the teeth in his Tso-
phagus he has not eaten any substantial
food, such as bread, potatoes, meat and
like vegetables, being unable to swal-
low them, but has subsisted on raw
beef chopped fine, soup and stimulantg.
In drinking he is compelled to throw
his head far back, as though gargling
his throat, and allow the liquid % pass
slowly down his throat. In his present
condition he is wholly unable to pursue
his calling. He is man of forty-two
e -
Volunteers. He is a man of means and
offers $10,O 900 to the person who will
remove the teeth without injuring him.
If life is spared him he will go to the
hospital at Paris, France, next fall and
have the teeth removed by the surgeons
knife.

Tie Era of Steam Yachting.

A New York letter to the Boston
UcrolG says: There will be more steam
Yachting around the waters in this part
of the world dur ng the coming summer
than has ever been known before. Rich
men are going in more and more extern
siveIy for owning their private steam
vessels, and the consequence is that,
while the makers of these craft are all
of them as busy as they can possibly he,
tie sailing yacht builders are idle, and
fine vessels of this description can be
bought for mere song. was offered
recently a simply superb sloop yacht, 80
feet long, beautifully fitted up with
everything that mortal yachtsman could
wish for, for an even 81, 900. The rea-
son was that the owner had ordered a
steam Yacht, and really didn't care to
chain himself longer to the comparative
dizziness of a vessel of this sort. There
YOU are. That is why all sorts Of pleas
ure craft of the sailing variety are to
be had for next to nothing, and why
the steam-yacht builders are rearing
their harvest. Great Improvements are
being made almost daily in appliances
for steam navigation.

The Rev. Penstock arose in the Lime
Kiln Club to a question of privilege.
One of the local papers had referred to
him as ga saddle colored coon who

were fifty other members in the same

THE BABYS PRAYER.

She kneit with her neat hands folded:
Her fair little head bowed low.
"n1e dead vines tapped at the window
Aud the air was thick with snow,
without, earth dumb with winter;
within, hearts dumb with care;
AND up through the leaden silence
Rose softly the baby's prayer.
BLESS all whom I love, dear Father,
And help me be good" she said,
Then, stirred by sudden fancy,
She lifted the shining head.
Did she catch on the frozen maple
Some hint of the April green,
Or the breath of the woodland blossoms
The drifts of the snow between I?
1.-The beautiful trees" she whispered,
Where the orioles used to sing;
They are tired of the cold, white winter,
Oh, help them to grow in the spring;
And the flowers that I loved to gather,
Lord, bring them again in May;
The dear little violets, sleeping
Down deep in the ground to-day"
An, earth may chill with snowAakes,
And hearts may be cold with care,
But wastes of frozen silence
Are crossed by the baby's prayer;
And lips were dumb with sorrow
In jubilant hope may sing;
For when earth is wrapped in winter,
In the heart of the Lord It's spring.

The Lewiston (Me.) Journal says =
One of the queer cases of domestic in
felicity which will soon be tried on di-
vorce libel in the court of this country
is the outgrowth of a difficulty which
arose on an evening 25 years ago between
husband and wife then of middle age.
During all these wearisome years the
husband and wife have lived together,
but have not spoken, Communication
was by nterpretatiOn-never direct NO
tete-a- tetcs, no condolences, no discussion
on Aings of mutual interest to huspanu
and wife, no plans for the future, no
common thought for the welfare OF theif
children This farce was kept up until
about a month ago. If ever man or
woman forget anything it is when the
household is enjoying its Spring moving.
The wife spoke to her husband on TINS
occasion for the first time in % years.
She said: "Where's the nails!" He look
ed at her and said nothing. The con,
versation. it is reported, never progressed
beyond this point. We will bet nickel
that after it happened the woman would
rather have bitten her tongue oil than
have broken the eloquent silence OF a
quarter of century with that momen-
tous, soul thrilling sentence where's
the nailsY' 1t is said that now that the
nails, instead of closing the breach, have
only widoned it, the unhappy pair are to
seek bliss apart, through the medium OF
the courts. We can almost imagine the
wearisome sigh of a hundred hu Stands

mans married life. "Some folks, say
