why He Disubcyed.

Zagonyi the commander of Gen.
Fremont's body guard, was a Hunga-
rian refugee, and man of most gal
liant spirit; not at all the man to over
look INSTRUMENTATION or the appear
ance of it. He obeyed orders himself
and exacted obedience from others.
Just before the final charge at Spring
field, Mo-, Zagonyi directed one of the
buglers, Frenchman, to sound a sig
nal. The bugler seemingly paid no
attention to the order, but darted off
with Lieut.. Maythenyi. A few minutes
afterward he was observed in another
part of the field vigorously pursuing
the flying infantry. When the line
was formed in the city square after the
engagement, Zagonyi noticed the bu-
gler, and approaching him said: In
the midst of the battle you disobeyed
my order. You are unworthy to be a
member of the guard. | dismiss you"
For reply, the bugler held up his
buge and showed the mouth piece
shot entirely away. THE mouth was

viz mon bugle, and SO | bugle viz mon
pistol and saber." 1t is unneccs-
sary to add that the sentence of dis
missal was withdrawn.-San Francis

months of July and August of this year tho
public debt had been increased over 81
OOo, 600, while during the same months In
1883 the debt had been decreased over $1l,-
Oo0, 600, Secretary Window said the fact
was that the public debt had been de-
creased $20, 9lC. 80 during July and August
of this year. The statement he said, arose
doubtless from the peculiar form of the
monthly public-debt statement in which
the amount of debt is given LESS cash In
the Treasury" BY this form any increase
of the cash in the Treasury shows an ap-

Valuable Crop.

A western man, proud of his inn
mensely productive acres, was show
ing visitor from Vermont over his
farm, and, while boasting somewhat
loudly of his own crops, turned upon
the Vermonter with the question:
you can't raise much back there
on those stony Vermont hills, can
your"
"Oh, yes, yes; we generally get fine
crops"
But you don't raise much grain,
do yous"
"Oh, yes; we raise sight of barley" "
"You do2"
"Why, certainly; l don't know what
our farmers would do if it wasn't for
their barley"
'Do you get much for it3"
"Oh, we don't sell it, no, sir; we
don't sell grain of it.
You don't feed it to your stock?"
"Oh no, no; you don't ketch us
wasting barley like that"
We'll, what do you with it then2"
"Why. man, we save every grain of
it for seed-that's what we do with it !"
This is the western mans story, and
he naturally thinks this queer kind
of farming for profit" - Youths

HER FRIEND.

Marie has lovers half q score,
She wears them as she does her gloves;
One pair when driving on the shore.
Another for the modest loves
or country lanes, mid flowers and dew,
whirl that never seems to end;
And yet, tits serious and true,
much prefer to be her friendl
When tired of Charley's tennis talk,
And wearied quite with Georges 6rawl
When sated with the moonlight wax
After the ennui OF ball:
All, then she takes my arm In hers.
And to her rare moods attend,
Beneath the pines and jumpers,
And still I'd rather be her friendi
Her soul Is like an open book,
Wherein the fairest thoughts read;
No strangers 'twixt its covers look,
Or. glimpsing, feel no anxious need.
Tho utmost trust she asks OF me,
That trust where two twin natures blend;
My comrades WOO right gallantly,
But would rather be her friendi
We read for hours In quiet hooks,
The few deep authors Of our choice;
Somehow the music of the brooks
Is not so sweet as her low voice;
And while the breakers strike the beach
And over. under curve and bend
Her heart my heart doth truly teach.
Until-but must be her friend
Sometimes the daring thought will rise,
When touch OF hand has thrilled me through,
And In her tender girlish eyes
One sees the heavens reflected blue:
What would do IL she some day
Her wedding cards to me should send'
could not truly, frankly say:
IT'S better just to be her friendl

Canine Benevolence to a Tramp Dog.

A dog in the neighborhood of Man
chester has been distinguishing itself
in a marked degree. This is not a
homeless cur, but dog in easy cir
cumstances, and owned by kind and
indulgent master. Too indulgent,
the reader may be disposed to think,
when he is told every morning at
lunch time the creature was presented
with penny, which it carried in its
mouth to the shop of the baker and
there purchased biscuit. 1t happen
ed, however, that the baker, meeting
the owner of the dog, mentioned to
him that it had not been for its bis
cult lately. This was unaccountable,
and the more so because the animals
master had remarked that during the
past week or so it had exhibited unusu-
al impotence for lunch time, endeav-
oring by caressing and tail wagging
to obtain its luncheon money before IL
was due. When it had at last receiv-
ed it it had never failed to run off i'll
u hurry, and return without the coin,
seemingly satisfied with its invest
ment.
The next morning after the baker
had made his communication to the
gentleman, the latter, after giving his
dog the penny, was curious to watch
it. And 10 and behold it never went
near the biscuit shop! Without an
instant's delay it fastened to tripe
sellers, and there bought and paid for
q neat and tempting skewering of
''paunch. But it was not for his own
eating. With cheerful alacrity it took
the meat in its mouth and made for
an empty house, and to the cellar
thereof, and being closely followed,
the benevolent creature was discover
ed in the act of delivering its precious
pennyworth to q poor, miserable tyke,
stranger to the neighborhood, and
apparently of the tramp" species
Evidently it had been taken i'll on the
road, and probably would have died
in the cellar into which it had crawl
ed for shelter, had it not been for the
kind commiseration of the other dog,
who probably quite by accident found
il there. -London Globe.

No bouquets with Strings Wanted.

A Bird had picked up an earth worm
and flew to the limb of a tree over
hanging a brook to dispose of its meal.
While opening its bill too wide the
worm dropped out and into the water.
1t had hardly touched the surface of
the water before it was seized by a
Trout and swallowed. An Angler who
had been fishing several hours with
no result addressed the Trout:
"How is it, tell me, that you so Gag
erly seized the miserable, half starved
worm that fell from the bill of the
Bird and you refuse the fine, fat worms
| offer you2"
To which the Trout replied:
Deceit is not the nature of birds,
and so we do not regard with suspi-
cion the worms that drop from their
bills; and then, again, we have, in
common with the human species, an
aversion to presents with strings tied
to them. Selah l''-New York Herald.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE BANANA.
Probably the most pathetic incident Of
the career Of President Harrison ia the
White House was related by Hugo Zis-
man, the discharged steward.
After relating some delicate secrets
concerning the Presidents penchant for
pies, even at breakfast, Hugo stated
that the President was fond Of eating
fruit at bedtime.
Following these interesting state
secrets he gave the startling information
that on one occasion the President "fell
asleep with a banana in his hand and
that the rats climbed the Presidents
short legs and stole the banana.
II is not strange that sleep should
overcome the President while his impt.
rial mind was occupied with the difficult
problems Of statecraft and Tannerism.
During the absence OF that constant
companion and astute adviser, Baby
Mckee. who with his royal mother Is
visiting his father, shoe merchant, in
indianapolis, II is not strange that with
ouly the companionship Of banana the
President should have serious fall Of
sleep
OF course, if the President is accus-
toned to consume banana while he is
doing his heavy thinking, late at night,
it would not be strange phenomenon If
the process Of thinking should envelop
him In gloom difficulty and obscurity the
only escape from which would be in sleep.
While in some respects this picture OF
the President is not captivating, it pre-
sents a scene of his home life well worthy
Of the skill Of master artist. The
spectacle of the grandfather Of the
Mckee baby falling asleep during the
soporifc process Of thinking, while his
bold right hand grasped rich, half
green, Italian banana, should fill true
patriot with sublime admiration.
Washington has been represented in
the midst Of his family on the veranda at
Mt. Vernon. But the picture Of Presi-
dent Harrison without any family acces-
saries whatever TO detract from the sim
pie grandeur Of his commanding pres
ence alone in solemn and sleepy majesty
holding banana, would be novel, unique
and bewitching.
No President has ever been portrayed in
that manner. We have Lad the death
bed scene Of Garfield, several presiden.
tial family groups and the inaugural
scene of the magnetic Hayes, but no
artist ever conceived the grand thought
of putting on canvas in imperishable
pigments the noble spectacle Of the Presi.
dent Of the United States asleep
with a banana in his hand. Very
likely, the artists aesthetic taste would
suggest that the incident Of the rats
stealing the banana be omitted. That
would not add any glory to the Presi-
dents fame and the rats would detract
from the simple pathos Of the banana and
the President in silent communion to
