At the club the other day they were re-
counting some "reminiscences o' the war,
when an old general on the retire. i.st of the
army remarked:
Il will Illustrate to You the amount Of in
luence possessed by officers over men, and
the high state of discipline that prevailed
during the first months of the war, by the
following incident that occurred at the bat
tie of Bull Run. In the heat of the action an
officer, who has since become prominent and
well known throughout the country, was
then in command of brigade on the right of
the line. While riding over the field he dis
covered a soldier concealed in hole in the
ground, which was of just sufficient dimen-
sions to afford him shelter. The general rode
up to him, inquired as to his regiment, and
ordered him to join it at once The man
looked him full in his face, placeI thumb
upon his nose, and replied:
"'Oh, no you don't, old fellowl You want

A writer in Pacific Rural Press tells his
method, as follows:
In the first place stem the grapes and
press out the juice into q tank, letting it
stand over night to settle. In the morning
rack it off and then filter, thus rendering it
free from all vegetable matter. / also take q
quantity of black grapes and put them in a
boiler letting them come to a boil, in order
to produce dark juice This juice filter.
Now, by blending these juices, any shade Of
wine desire is produced, from light pink
to deep claret color. / then put the wine
in boiler-which should be copper, with a
faucet ut the bottom for convenience in
botting-and let it come to a brisk boil,
skimming what rises to the surface 1t is
now ready TO draw off into bottles, which
should be standing in hot water to prevent
breaking on the introduction of the bot
juice When the bottles are filed they should
be corked Immediately, and then Dipped into

In various parts of China there is belief
that the souls of very atrocious criminals
who have either been executed or died in
prison are sent back from Hades by Yenlo,
the judge there, to undergo a further term of
imprisonment, one death not being enough
to expiate their crimes When the second
term of imprisonment is judged to have e1-
pired the district magistrate beseeches the
tutelarv deity of the city to accompany hin,
TO the prison in order to acquaint the ghost
of his release. The order is supposed to reach
the imprisoned by burning it, ceremony
which is solemnly carried out in the jail. On
Aug. 10 last the district magistrate Of the
city of Soochow had placards posted up in
viting subscriptions of imitation money for
the ghosts then in the city jail This was all
duly burned and thus converted into cur.
rency, which would be useful to the ghosts

BURGLARY WITH EMBELLISHMENTS

Vickery was a German who worked as
miner in Yreka, Sisklyou county, in the ex-
treme northern part Of the state, There
about 1870, he committed a series of burgla-
ries and was sent TO San Quentin for a long
term of years. He made so good an impres-
sion on the prison officials, and his thefts had
been so small that he was pardoned about
1873 He came TO this city, and in the fol-
lowing Year was convicted of perpetrating a
remarkable series of burslaries that were the
local sensation for nearly month.
After robhing a house it was his custom to
visit the rooms of tao female members of the
family and kiss and fondle them. On several
occasions he actually got into bed with sleep
ing women, and when they awoke he escaped
BY a window or door which he had thought
fully left open, taking his plunder with him.
He was such a good sprinter that none of the
robbed ever caught him, Some of the women
whom he kissed were seriously i'll from the
shock OF awaking and finding themselves ii
q strange mans arms. EIckery surpassed al
his previous exploits by getting into bed be

Hermann yickery. the Noted California
Thief-Nine Years in Prison Did Not
Attempting to Escape.

The burglar, Hermann Vickery, who was
shot this week and fatally injured while max
ing bold dash for liberty at Folsom state
prison, had career which is one of the most
extraordinary in the criminal annals of the
coast. California has had many desperate
criminals whom long residence in prison
could not tame, but none of these ever showed
such utter lack of fear as Vickery did. or
such remarkable disregard Of danger when
indulging in his favorite pastime of burglary.
The police officers who saw much of him and
the prison officials all declared he was a crank,
and they have pointed, since his death, to his
attempt to escape as proof of their .oundness
of position, but others who knew him said he
was simply confirmed criminal, with many
eccentricities, which made him as interesting
u study as BLACK Bart, the poetical lone high
wayman. who robbed stages for over ten
years, and left sarcastic note in doggerel

American river just below Folsom prison
He probably counted on the guards becoming
''rattled," as the governor was inspecting the
place at the time. As it proved, he made a
good calculation. Although during his climb
up the exposed side of a bluff for seventy feet
be was in range of a dozen WincheSters and
one Gating gun, and the ground over which
be passed looked afterward as if it had been
rooted UP by hogs where the shower of lead
struck it, still Vickery reached within ten
feet of safety when three bullets struck him.
He had gained the top of the bluff, and
another moment would have seen him safely
buried in the thick chaparral that grows on
top, but when his figure was outlined against
the sky he made too fine target, and he was
brought down by wounds that ended his life
