A Daring Irishman.

"Talking about nerve, said one of the
veterans on his way to attend the Army of
the Tennessee reunion, "let me tell you a
little army story. l was at Vicksburg.
When the work there got down to pretty
close range the Johnnies showed us what
kind of sharpshooters they had They
were clever fellows. those sharpshooters
and they would pick man off as quick
as a wink If he once showed his head up
They were always on the lookout for that
sort of game, and even at night it wasn't
safe for man to get up on top OF che
earthworks.
In our company was an Irishman, Tim
Mccarthy, and of ali the dare devils he
was the worst l ever saw He was pas
sionately fond of smoking. and if any
body would give him cigar at night he
would light it and climb up on the works
and puff away. OF course the ashes would
obscure the fire, but every once in awhile
he would knock the ashes off, leaving the
bright fire for the sharpshooters to
aim at
AT first noticed that with all his
dare-deviltry there was something of
method in his madness, for he would
never climb up Until the ashes had formed
over the fire. Then when he knocked
the ashes off he would hold the cigar at
arms length. Whenever he did this
crack, crack crack, went the guns of the
Johnnies. and we could hear the bullets
whistling over our heads. But after awhile
he became sOreckless that he would knock
the ashes off his cigar while holding it in
his mouth. Nobody ever saw such nerve
as that man had. but not a bullet ever
touched him, though several went through
his hat and marked his clothing

SELF DEPENDENCE.

Many an unwise parent works
hard and lives sparingly all his life
for the purpose of leaving enough
te give his children start in the
world, as it is called. Setting a
young man ahoat with money left
him by his relatives, is like tying a
bladder under the arms of one who
can not swim ten chances to one
he will lose his bladder and 90 to
the bottom. Teach him to SWIM
and he will not need the bladder.
Give your child good education.
See to it that his morals are pure,
his mind cultivated, and his whole
nature made subservient to the laws
which govern man, and you will
have given what will be of more
value than the Indies. You have
given him start which no misfor-
tune can deprive him of. The earl
Ter you teach him to depend upon
his own resources and the blessing
of God, the better.

WILD MAN.

The wild man has again made his
appearance in Walker county, Ca,
says the Lafayette Messenger. He
was seen last week near High Point
by a reliable gentleman, who was
searching along the spurs OF Look
out mountain for mineral indica
tons. On arriving at the head Of
the hollow, just above Mrs. divers
his attention was attracted by thrill
ing screams on the side of the high
spur that he had just passed along
the trail below. He looked in the
direction from which the noise
came. What should he see but the
wild man. When his fright cooled
down, he discovered that the old
fellow was not making any move to-
ward him, but was standing erect
and shaking his fist at him and
showing signs that were not favora-
bic to a human being. Therefore,
get away was thought about imme-
diately, but before starting he
would examine the wild gentleman
more infinitely. He was about 100
yards from him, but could distinctly
see his teeth, nose and eyes, and de-
scribes him thus: Was about seven
feet high, hairy as an old bear, and
would weigh, from his looks, 400
pounds had a pole in one hand
that looked to be ten feet long,
which he handled as easy as a stout
healthy man would pipestem. His
name was asked, and the answer
came in the shape of large stone,
which weighed at least one hundred
pounds, which was hurled at the in
quisitive gentleman. This being
done there was no time left for any
further inquiry, consequently he
tried the working speed OF his legs
and feet, which worked most excel
lent until he arrived at Frank Car
ter's shop, almost breathless. AS
soon as he could narrate his story a
crowd was collected which started
In search of the wild man of Look
out mountain.

THE INDEPENDENTS lWIFE.

The handsome and fashionable
wife OF the vice-pl esident elect is
noted for the possession OF s. re-
marKable coachman. William White
who sits stiffly on the high drivers
seat of Mrs. Morton's carriage,
was once in the employ of the Prince
of Wales, and was brought to this
country by the Marquis Of Lorne,
while that aristocrat was governor
general of Canada. He has been
in the service Of Levi P. Morton
four or five years, and is sort of
example to the other family coach
men of Fifth avenue in department.
NTbeHmanner in which he tips his
hat on being questioned or answer
ing, his stiff pose on his seat,
his handling of the reins and whip
in everything he is taken as
model. Even the livery stable pro-
prietors, in fitting out equipages
that are meant to be mistaken for
the private turnouts of their Gus
toners, are accustomed to point
White out to their drivers as an
exhibit of what they ought to aim
at. But Mrs. Morton's carriage has
interior comforts that are not for
show. A diminutive clock is set
into the side where she can see it at
a glance, and thus, in making a
round of calls or keeping other en-
gagements, she may know the time
without the bother of taking out a
watch. In drawer are compactly
arranged a handglass and a hair
brush and comb, to be used in the
carriage whenever the slightest mis-
hap of toilet requires attention. A
bearskin rug contains fiat tin re-
ceptacle for hot water, and is thus
kept in a condition to warm the feet.
Like many of the vehicles made to
order for ladies of wealth, the back
seat of this one is of height,
breadth, and upholstered shape ex-
actly suited to be easiest for Mrs.
Morton. The carriage, although
not singular in its appointments of
luxury, is one of the newest in man
ufacture, and nothing more COM
plete is owned by Aston or Wander
bilt.

According to the New York
World, DR.. Green, president of the
Western Union telegraph company,
claims that he gave Thomas A. Edi-
son the employment which was the
beginning of his successful career.
" Edison had been bothering the
officers of the company with tele-
graphic devices they had no need of.
He came into the office one day
when it was impossible to obtain
communication between New York
and Albany, and the seat of the
difficulty could not be located. lie
was banteringly invited to remedy
the difficulty. He said he could do
it in two hours. He was laughed at
and given two days for the task.
His process was very simple. He
telegraphed to the best operator in
Pittsburg and instructed him to tele-
graph to the best operator in Al
bany. The latter telegraphed down
his New York line as far as he could,
feeling his way from point to point
and sending the results to the Pitts
burg man, who forwarded them to
Edison. In less than one hour
Edison said to the anxious official
THE break is two miles beyond
Poughkeepsie.' That simple device
insured his status with the Western
Union people, and won for him a
hearing in all his schemes.

A WORD FOR BANANAS.

The banana has a high recommen-
datlon as an article of food, because
OF It's nutritious character. One au-
thorlty announces that one pound of
this fruit has more nutriment than
three pounds of meal or as manv
pounds OF potatoes, while as a food
it is said to be in every sense SUI
perlor to wheat bread. The natives
of the West Indies and other tropi-
cal countries subsist largely upon
them, and find them, as chemists do,
d food containing u large amount
and variety of nutriment. A friend
OF the writer makes them a special
and exclusive article of food when
he has work requiring considerable
and particular attention and ac-
curacy, at a time when a regular
meal and other food would weaken
the action of the mind. He finds
that the banana in such cases d.
gests easily and makes no diminu-
ton of mental concentration, while
at the same time the sustenance of
mind and body is obtained. -Ex-

WAS 1T A COMPLIMENT.

Senator Matt Ransom is back
from North Carolina, happy over
his reelection and handsomer than
ever. His pose for the galleries is
strengthened by some new elements.
A brother Senator who congratu-
lated Ransom on his reelection slip
ped back into the cloak room and
told this story:
Il never see Matt Ransom with
out thinking of an incident they
tell down in his own neighborhood.
They have the biggest fair IN the
state there. One year lank, lean
mountaineer brought horse down
to the fair. 1t was blind, spawned,
and had the CHAMBERS. A sorrier-
looking beast couldn't be found in
the country. The horse dealer
showed his PAGES all around the
track,
"'Take a look, he cried, at the
finest boss in Northamton county,
"He had gone half way around
the track when a man came up to
him and said:
Look heah, stranger, that boss
is blind
"' Can't help it, it's the finest
boss in Northampton county, and
the mountaineer passed on a little
further. Somebody else struck him
and said:
Hello, there, that boss is lame.
"Still the mountaineer called
out:
"'Take look at the greatest boss
in NOrthamton county,
"He had got around the circle
when Matt Ransom met him. Think
ing he would have some fun, the
senator went up and said:
"' That the finest horse in North
anton county? Why, it's lame,
blind and wheezes like thunder.
What are its good points ?
The mountaineer sized the SEN
ator up, changed his cud of tobacco
and said:
'' Can't help that, boss, it's name
is Matt Ransom, and it's - on
style. That makes it the finest boss
in Northamton county, IN. Y.
