fellows brutality. If you do not or
cannot protect me, l will have to pro-
tect myself"
The Federal oficer was fairly beside
himself with rage, as he rejoined : ~
will put you in irons, sir, if you do not
at once apologize for your insolence."
Then the commander Of the boat
took his turn. "You'll do nothing of
the kind, sir. That gentleman, l do
not are what title he uses, is a pas
senger on my boat, aud as such is my
guest and entitled to my protection,
which l will certainly give him.
"Do you presume to take issue with
me ;" exclaimed the Federal officer.
"DO you know that l am an officer and
have enough soldiers at my command
to seize this boat and make prisoners
of everybody hereT
This made 'the old man" mad, and
that he didn't care who knew it was
plain from his response : ~ know
you're an ass ! and know you haven't
enough soldiers under you totake one
person prisoner on my boat. It is
You who are insolent, and if you on
tinue so | will land this boat and put
Won ashore" The Federal captain
half way drew his sword as lie said,
II will call the guard, sir, and arrest
youw
"YOu1l do no such thing. Why, if
you dared make any such foolish move,
l would arm my crew with capstan
oars and chase you and your soldiers
into the liver. If you were not crazed
with anger you would know that on
a vessel the commanders authority is
supreme, and it is mutinous to resist
it. Now, don't make any further
spectacle Of yourself, but retire to
your room. and if catch you out of
it wearing that sword again before we
reach Louisville, l will put shackles
and handouts on you and chuck you
down the scuttle in the forecastle."
The steamboat captain was in the
right and knew it. He meant what
he said and everybody else knew it.
Associates and brothers in arms came
to the rescue of the Federal officeran
persuaded him to retire to his room,
and when he came out of 1T he had
fully recovered his good humour, and
Immediately apologized to the cap
tam OF the boat but we were awfully
glad when the Confederate reached
his home, a little below Louisville,

has proved embarrassing to the man
ayers of one or two panoramas in Chi
cago. The first time he saw the.
representation of the battle of Gettys-
burg he cast his. eye over the expanse
of canvas and detected at once the alb
sence of an important detail. The
lecturer looked the matter up and
found that the boy was right.
Harold inherits from his mamma
good deal of his interest in history
Not long ago Mrs. Mech prepared
paper on Josephine and Her Court, ;"
at the request Of q society of which
she is a member. She read tho paper
and few days afterward Harold got
hold Of it. It was just in his line.
He read it through onco or twice and
with his mamma for an audience re-
cited it with fine effect from beginning
to end
Harold is commander-in-chief of all
the boys in the neighborhood. Under
his direction they barricade the alleys
and fight all the famous battles of his
tory without missing an incident OF
strategic importance. In these battles
it is noticeable that the forces under
Harold invariably march on to vic
tory.
Harold has an intimate knowledge
of every prominent man in American
politics. Chicago Tribune.

HelnfnI Hints.

Cream not stirred enough is sometimes
the cause of white specks in butter.
Scanty fare, exposure and neglect is
ruinous to farm stock at this season.
Keep the pig out Of the wet and give
it a chance to keep clean by having a
board floor in at least part of the pen.
Don't neglect to give the idle horses
sufficient exercise.
The question has been raised whether
warming water for stock in any but very
cold weather pays, and whether it may
not even do harm for beef cattle.
Save all waste and refuse that is avail
able for the compost heap: it will pay.
Remember that wood ashes are Of
great value, and secure all you can for
top dressing meadows and grain fields.
The famous Holstein Clothilde, who
in seven days gave 664 pounds and IA
ounces Of milk, which made 28 pounds
24 ounces of butter, or an average Of
over 95- pounds milk and over pounds
of butter daily, ate daily about 10
pounds of grain. This ration includes 2
parts corn meal, 2 parts wheat bran and
part ground oats, with little oil meal.
She had good pasture and pure water.
According to The Cincinnati Price
Current the season has been an especially
favorable one for fattening hogs, and the
average weight will be considerably
heavier than last year
Ground gypsum or plaster on the stable
floor prevents the escape Of ammonia
from the manure into the atmosphere.
Of all the beet sugar factories yet in
stituted in the United States none is now
in operation except one in California,
and this one; it is reported, is largely en-
gagged in refining Sandwich Island cane
sugar.
A visit to the markets will show that
the greater part Of the poultry marketed
by farmers not professional poultry rails
ers is not fully fattened, claims Ameri-
can Agriculturist, and this is as unwise
as it is to market cattle or sheep without
fattening.

Campaign Lies.

There is something always queer
about lies and lying. There is nothing
a man will sooner knock you down for
than for calling him liar. Burglars
and highwaymen will not stand it.
Only professional liars are proud Of
the achievement, and they are few.
And now the editor of The Popular
Science Monthly wonders why we
have such tolerance for one specific
style and form of lying-the campaign
lie. Why do people prominent as gen
tlemen, religious and Of high social
standing, defend, help on and dissem-
mate a lie, intended to bring the op-
posing party to confusion unjustly2
He fails to find the cause, but he b@
lfeves the remedy is bias of educa-
ton toward science-a love of facts
and truth. The fact is, in all contests,
the subtle and deceitful is brought to
the front. 1t is difficult to fight on
honor. Pugilism, according to the
Marquis of Queensberry rules, is easier
than politics according to the golden
rule. We have too much of it to keep
moral. -Globe-Democrat.

To Revive the Use of the Lance.

The question of reviving the use Of
the lance in the French army is again
being discussed. A military expert,
in letter to The Temps, has much to
say in favor of this weapon He ap-
pears to think it was abolished after
the war without sufficient reflection,
and mentions two incidents in the bat
tie of Waterloo in which English cav
airy, while in the act of charging
French troops, changed their purpose
when they saw. those armed with the
lance, and attacked other regiments
supplied with short weapons. The
writer thinks the main argument en-
ployed in abolishing the lance in the
French army-the length Of time
needed to obtain a mastery of the
weapon-an erroneous one. London

Harold is on no account to be allowed
to leave the house during their alb
sence. Harold is only z years old, but
he has an astonishing memory. He
remembers everything that interests
him, and he makes it his business to
be interested in whatever his gifted
papa says. Unlike most of the mu-.
scum prodigies, he is no phonograph; !;
hiss mental apparatus is sensitive
enough to things which strike his
fancy, but receives no impressioDfrom
routine jargon and phrases which his
understanding cannot fathom He is
bright, healthy, wholesome boy,
with a big, active brain III his Uranium.
Harold was good enough to receive
visitor from The Tribune. The honor
impressed him deeply, but failed to
abash him in the least. His memory
was in fair to middling condition, he
guessed, and by way of removing from
his own mind any doubt in the prem
ises he proceeded to reel off few cold
pages Of American history. This was
merelya kind of turning up process.
"Who won the battle of Waterloo?"
asked Harold's mamma.

''Who was Napoleon's wife?"
Josephine"
"What was her sons name?"
Eugene"
Eugene whats"

What was the name of Josephine's

"What famous marshal was with
Napoleon at Waterloo?'
Harold's mental apparatus had to
have little time here. He took a
turn about the room, and made rum
ming jump to the knee Of his visitor
with whoop of victory.
Marshal Ney," he said.
"Can you repeat something when
you have heard it once?" asked Har-
old's visitor.
."I'u try" said the boy, jumping to
the floor and throwing out his chest.
"What is it2"
The visitor took mean advantage.
He quoted to the unsuspecting genius
tho first verse of a magazine love poem:
The king and the pope together
Have sent letter to me;
1t is signed with golden scepter,
1t is sealed with golden key.
The king wants me out of his eyesight;
The pope wants me out of bis see.
Harold made an unsuccessful effort
to conceal his disgust and began
The king and the pope together
Aletter have sent to me;
Signed with golden something
And sealed with golden key.
The king wants me out of his kingdom
And the pope wants me out
MY goodness, how I hate poetry!"
And Harold had to have drink of
water to take the taste out of his
mouth.
What do you like, Harold2"
"He likes history" said Harold's
mamma "For two years he read
nothing but American history"
"Why do you like American his

Mary Richards began suit in the district
court yesterday for divorce from John G.
Richards a miner, to- whom she was mar
ried in September 1sss---In her petition
Mrs. Richards, says that In July OF the
present year her husband, then duly sober,
threatened to leave her; that she was then
i'll and in bed and that her husbands harsh
words and unkind treatment brought
bout a miscarriage; that while the plain
tiff was still in bed the defendant neglected
to provide for her and that in all the time
OF her illness he neglected to furnish her
with the comforts which her condition re-
quired, and brought to her nothing
except a bottle OF port wine
which defendant and his mother
drank; that defendant refused to bury her
six-montb's babe, but put it in araisin box
and took it to the cemetery and left it ex-
| posed all night, and attended to it's inter
| ment only when the plaintiff threatened to
| leave her sick-bed and see that her off
spring was decently buried; that one month
| after the burial of her still born babe,
| Rich rds packed his clothes in his brothers
trunk and fled, leaving her destitute; and
tfat she is destitute to-day and that her
husband has not returned"to her. Mcbride
