Horses In Battle.

When il comes TO battle, a horse
seems TO know everything that is go.

and seems to be in his element. He
enters into the spirit of the battle like
a human being. He shows no fear of
death. and it is singular that if his
mate is shot down he will turn TO look
at him and seemed pleased. A horse
in my battery was once struck by a
piece Of shell, which split his skull, so
hat one side was loose. The driver
turned him loose, but he walked up
by the side Of the gun and watched
the firing, and when a shot was fired
would look away in the direction Of
the enemy, as If 10 see the effect of the
shot. When a shell would burst near

it. When he saw his own team going

MEETING o. LOVERS.
A Pretty Little Seem at Castle Garden
with Plenty Of Kisses.

with Plenty of Kisses.
Picturesque sights are to be seen
daily al Castle Garden. On Monday
last as the Storage passengers were
being landed from the steamship
Etruria. a tall, we'll built young man
called at the Garden and told the gate
keeper that he wanted TO meet a
friend. He was directed 10 the infor-
nation bureau. TO which he repaired.
He appeared nervous and would not
sit down. He asked Roundsman Con-
lin when the passengers would be
landed. The roundsman directed him
again 10 the bureau, where Clerk
Raven noticed his uneasiness and ask
ed him what was the matter.
The young man said hc came here
from Ireland thhee years ago. His
father and mother were dead. He was
poor. lie loved Il girl in Ireland
named Lille Walsh. She was Is years
old. aud he was 20. He wanted TO
marry her, but she would not consent
Her father was dyingOf consumption,
and she would not leave him. She
promised To wait for him. He placed
"A wedding ring on her finger and sail
ed away. Two months ago she wrote
him that her father was dead and that
she would sail on the Etruria.
Like all men, Clerk Raven is human
and could not withstand the appeal.
He weu' into the rotunda and oou re-
turned with the soon-to-bc bride. She
looked about IS years old, tall and
~queenly, with rosy checks and cherry
lips. Her eyes were black and spark
led like Goals. Her hair was dark and
concealed from view by a neat little
bonnet which sat coquettishly on her
head. Her dress was a neat one of
black silk. and set off her form TO per
lection.
= The JOY Of the two young lovers at
meeting was very touching, and drew
tears to the eyes of Detective Peter
Groden. who is used to such scenes.
Taking her tenderly by the hand the
young man, whom she called Tom,
led her around the path TO the rear o.
the police office. Here they embraced
half a dozen times and lavished kiss
upon kiss upon one another. They
did not speak. Their eyes alone told
their tale of love and waiting. Plac-
ing her arms around his neck she
gazed with long and lingering fond
ness into his eyes, while he kissed her.
This continued for fully fifteen min
utes, the police officers and reporters
watching the scene and envying the
young mans position until a newsboy
entered the gate. he did not recog-
nize the solemnity Of the occasion,
and with a loud Break away" he
dashed up the garden path and
startled them from their dream of
bliss. Gently releasing their embraces,
but joining hands, they walked slowly
toward the baggage room TO check her
baggage and make plans for the flu.

Didn't Like the Game.

Uncle Pete went to see a ball game
last Saturday. II was his first view
of such a contest in ten years, and he
looked somewhat disappointed as the
innings rolled off with machine like
promptness, but he said nothing until
he was on board a homeward bound
car. Then his nephew addressed him:
What do you think Of il. unclef"
That was "A baseball game. was til"
"Of course it was. Why do you ask
that2'

Certainly
Nobody punched nobody else from

"And the umpire was not kickey

THAT is a rare diversion nowadays

A Master Architect.

Mr.. c. o. Bolmerth, of Maiden,
Mass, was not only the architect of
his own fortune, but he was the archi-
tect and builder of his own house as
well. In the work of building he was
entirely unaided, placing every stone
and every beam himself. This would
not be 70 surprising if Mr.. Bolmerth
were as well supplied with limbs as
other men, but lie is not. Ho has but
one arm, and yet he has done much
better than most men would do with
two. The house is of stone, with a
complete wooden frame inside. II
took him four years to do the work,
during which time he was laid up for
oae year, having sustained serious in
jnries by a fall Of thirty feet, from the
roof to the first story.-Harper's Ba-

the county for his industry and honesty
About year ago Washington Walker, de-
string to homestead tract OF land, ana not
having the necessary funds TO pay the fees,
applied 10 Horton TO assist him, and promised
him a home as long as he wanted one. Horton
advanced the money for him and moved TO
walkers TO live. After q time Walker find
ing he could not pay Horton the money, which
was only nine dollars, concluded TO
have him put out OF the way, and calling
the three named defendants TO his assistance
they met and considered plan OF numbering
Horton. AS Walker was IS years old II was
decided he should take no part in it. On the
night agreed upon, which was the 2lst OF last

going Into Horizons room, picked him
up and carried him into thicket about
100 yards from the house. They took switches
from one-half to an inch In diameter and gave
him seventy-six lashes, after which they
took clubs and beat him TO death,

thicket, and it doubtless would rot have ibeen
discovered had they not mentioned In the

was about IA years old, that they had
whipped this man Horton. He reported the
same 10 white man living near, who, Ia eem-
pany with others, instituted 4 search for
the murdered mans body, which vas found
the next evening. The negroes OF the county
