A Telegrapher's Ruse.

DIR. j. Emmett O'Brien contributes a
paper to the September Century en-
titled Telegraphing in Battle" from
which this incident is quoted: "On
one occasion an operator started out
from Fairfax Station on a hand-car
propelled by three contrabands TO at
tempt to restore the line 50 that Pope's
operators could communicate his where
abouts. Finding the line cut beyond
Pohick Bridge, he splced it and got
signals from both directions. While so
engaged party of guerrillas emerged
from the woods to the track and sur
rounded him. Bidding the negroes
stand fast, he dictated swift message
over the line, which was being repeated
back to him and copied as the confed-
crate leader leaned over his shoulder
and read the significant words: Blu
ford has sent back a regiment of cav
airy to meet the one from here and
guard the line. If you are molested,
we will hang every citizen on the route.
The instrument ceased ticking as the
operator firmly replied, -. -
%. K). A painful pause ensued.
The confederate might have suspected
a ruse if at the moment a CLEAN of sa-
bers had not shone in the direction of
Fairfax Court House. Hastily starting
for the woods, the leader exclaimed,
Come home, boys; these yere amt
our niggers' and they disappeared,
while the hand-car, as if driven by
forty contraband-power, sped rapidly
rearward. Pope's wires were not well
guarded at any time"

A Very Tall Volunteer.


General Devens' brigade had a re-
union at Spring field, Mass, the other
day. 1t was a great success, as several
well-known officers, including General
Devens, were present. The most con-
spicuous man on the ground was Fred.
Bailey, who is 6 feet Gt inches tall,
and who carried the brigade flag at the
head of the column. He said he was
six feet tall when he enlisted at nine
teen, but he shot up six inches on rebel
prison fare after the defeat of Bull
Run, in which he was captured. He
was released in season to fight at Get
tysburg, and his comrades say the
tracks of his No. II shoes are still visi-
Bile there. When asked if such tall
man was not good mark for bullets
he said, with twist on his grizzled
brigand-looking mustache, Well,
suppose | was so tall that the bullets
couldn't reach me. AT any rate,
stopped lodging my head after receiv-
ing ball in my ankle" H. a. Cush,
man of Taunton, a survivor of the
Seventh Massachusetts Regiment, was
there. He had just recovered badge
which was taken in November, 1864
when he was captured by Mosby's
guerrillas.

capade. But the emperor related the
scene to the mamma of the little prince,
leaving it to her to give the punishment
which he had not the heart to admins
ter. | don't like to tell you what hap
pened then to the little future king, but
| suppose | must. His royal mamma
whipped his little hand till he cried,
and took away from him all his toy
soldiers for week. This was quite
right. for not even an emperor himself
has right to make his subjects ridicu-
lous for his amusement.
A crown prince must be taught to be
brave soldier, and to know all about
leading armies, and how to carry on
war if occasion arises. SO this little
prince has uniform, with tiny sword,
and very pretty and funny little fell
low he is when he gets it on and goes
out with bis papa TO review, or to
drive beside him in carriage. When
he is dressed like soldier, he must
gravely give the regular military salute
to every one he meets who bows to
him. When he is in his other dress,
he must take off his hat and bow and
smile. He loves his uniform very
dearly, and begs to wear it often.
Not long ago he drove out without it,
and amused every one by giving the
stiff military salute, while he wore his
sailor hat This was also a piece of
his mischief, and he did ii to make the
people uncomfortable; for he knew
they dared not laugh in his face. am
sorry to say that his little majesty mer-
tied and got another punishment. 1t
is not often, however, that it is neces-
sary to be very severe with the fun
loving boy. lie already studies three
languages, is very diligent and tries to
behave as he is told. His favorite toys
are tin soldiers, little caunons and flags,
| and forts made of wooden blocks. He
feels himself quite little man now for
he has four little brothers, all younger
than himself.
The little price has pony and pony
carriage, and when out in the country
he drives the little pony himself; but
in the city he always drives in big
carriage beside his governess. All the
people love MIN because he looks so
| good-natured and full of fun, but he is
a little shy sometimes when the crowd
looks AT him very hard; still he bows
and smiles and takes his hat off like a
/ lllllC lDdn.
In our country we choose man, a
president, to rule over us, and very
often he never dreams that he is to be
great ruler of great people until he
is chosen. But in Germany and in
England, and in some other countries,
a boy is born to be king or emperor.
He can not choose to be anything else
when he grows up. Even when a
little baby, he is looked upon as the
future ruler. | am sure this little
Crown Prince William of Germany,
with his sweet nature and the careful
training he will have, will grow up to
be good man, for he is every day
taught obedience, self-denial, and to do
unto others as he would have others
do unto him. He is also taken some
times by his grandmother, the Empress
Victoria, to visit the poor, and is taught
to give out of his own money gold
pieces to help them; and he is taught to
be kind and polite to the humblest
servant in the empire. -Margery Deane,

A Cigar, a Hat, a Life.

l read this incident in one of my
papers, the other day. A young man,
the son of New York millionaire,
started to 90 from the palace-car of a
train to the smoking-car. He could not
be happy without his cigar. The wind
was high, and swept with great force
across the open platform between the
cars. 1t lifted the young mans hat
from his head, and was carrying it away.
In trying to catch his hat, he lost his
balance. fell and was instantly killed.
So it is every day and everywhere.
That incident is an illustration. We
seek petty indulgences, and we form
habits that become our masters. We
take risks because we have not learned
to deny ourselves. In order to eni Joy a
sensual qualification, we leave the place
of safety for the place of peril. To get
his exhilaratng glass, the young man
will 20 from home and enter the saloon,
with all its satanic attractions. That
young man had every comfort and con-
venence in the palace-car. There was
good company there, too, no doubt.
But morbid longing lured him away to
seek the reeking atmosphere of the smok-
ing-car. There were no ladies in that
car, and the men were redolent of rum
and tobacco. But there this rich, edu-
Gated young man must 90, and in going
he lost his life-a life for cigar! Then,
again, what risks we run for things of
comparatively little value. Why let 90
his hold upon the railing, and take the
chances of losing his balance, in order
to save hat? His life, in his own es-
timation, and that of his friends, was
worth a carload of hats. But so it is,
| repeat, everywhere and always. Men
are clutching at trifes, and losing not
only the life that now is, but also the
life to come.-EDchange.

Insane Claimant-Rating.

The Irregular personal aid and at
tendance " contemplated by the act of
June IS, 1874, is the same as that which
is required by one who is confined in
an asylum and whose mental derange-
ment is such as to make personal aid
and attendance " necessary. 1t is i'm
material whether an insane claimant for
pension be rich or poor, whether he
has others dependent upon him or only
himself to maintain, whether he be an
inmate of an asylum, supported at pub
lie expense, or maintained out of his own
estate-none of these circumstances
can affect either his title to pension
or the rate of pension that he should be
allowed.-In re Charies d. WEIGH,

The Naughty Fairies.

There are two or three naughty fairies
who Turk in our pretty house,
They are sly as the willy foxes,
And one is as still as q mouse;
And one can growl and mutter,
And one has a chain on her feet
These naughty and mischievous fairies,
whom you may have happened to meet
The still.asa-mouse one whispers,
when bit of work must be done,
" Oh! Just let II go till tomorrow,
And take to-day for fun"
And the mutter and.growl one pricks you
Till you pucker your face in scowl,
Or whimper and fret in corner,
or stand on the floor and howl.
But the worst of the three bad fairies
Is the one with the chain on her feet,
And the strangest thing is her fancy
For a child who is gay and sweet.
She makes her forget an errand,
Aud loiter when she should haste
And many a precious hour
She causes the child to waste.
Should you happen to see these fairies,
Please pass them proudly by
with lips set close and firmly,
And flash in your steadfast eye;
For three very naughty people
These little fairies be,
who mean, wherever they're hiding,
No good to you and me.

LITERARY TRIO.

Crossing the Boston Public Gardens
a fortnight ago, my attention was
attracted to two gentlemen, who
had stopped and were watching
with interest the playful antics of some
early sparrows sporting in the water,
dipping their wings in the cold surface,
and Drawing themselves for what was
probably their first bath of the season
in Northern climes. The eyes of the
shorter of the two men twinkled merrily
as he pointed out the birds with the end
of his cane to his more sedate compan-
ion. Genuine glee and interest was
written on the features of the little
gentleman as he followed the frolicsome
birds at play, and for several minutes
he stood there indulging in a constant
running comment Occasionally he
would break out into hearty laugh, as
one bird attempted to force his mate
into the water. The face of the other
gentleman betokened only an ordinary
interest and APPARENTLY failed to join IN
the more boyish glee of his companion.
1t was beautiful spring morning, but
the coat-cOllar of the taller gentleman
was turned up; short coat of light ma
terial thrown open characterized the
dress of his companion of shorter
stature. Suddenly a pleasant-faced
lady approached the couple from be-
hind, and with a light and merry
playful little creatures, are they not?"
made her presence known. The little
gentleman turned quickly, and, with a
hearty, boyish laugh, stepped forward
and shook the hand of the newcomer.
The more stately gentleman mechani-
cally, stretched forward gloved hand.
1t was an interesting group-Dr. Oliver
Wendell Holmes, light of heart and
with all the youthful ardor OF boy on
a first beautiful spring morning; James
Russell Lowell, stately, cold-looking
and stopped of shoulders; Margaret
Deland, fresh of face and erect of car
riage. L was sorry when the trio moved
away toward Beacon street.
The Seidl Society, of which Mrs
Laura &. Holloway is president, has
been organized with membership of

society is the enjoyment of the music
offered by the Seidl concerts at Brigh-
ton Beach, and supplementary to this
aim is the promotion of the welfare of
women musicians and the development
of the musical taste.
Mrs. Davis, wife of the Senator
from Minnesota, is one of the most ac-

Mrs, Davis has invented a riding skirt

princesse, and with a double skirt, and
she wears unusually long riding boots.
