HO Was Mighty Proud OF His Sweetheart
Back In tho Country.
. There wero dozen of us in q street
car in Now Haven ono day when a very
pronounced typo of young Connecticut
Yankee entered. Attention was at
tracted to him at once, for there was
much in his appearance and makeup to
suggest "thcro's only few of us left"
He read all of tho advertising cards
carefully, and then tho dial which reg
isterod tho number of passengers caught
his eye. He left his scat, walked to tho
end of tho car and examined tho dial
critically, whistling softly to himself
oil tho time.
Whatever opinion no may have enter
tanned of tho devico no kept it to him
sclf, for no resumed his scat without q
word. but still kept on whistling softly.
Presently he stopped whistling. drew

of them to IN old gentleman next to
him, with tho remark:
Don't you think that's q pretty peart
gal?"
Tho old gentleman glanced ut the
photograph, which was that of rather
comely country girl, and handed it back,
remarking as he did so:
"a very attractive face"
''Well, 1 should say So" exclaimed
the young man. -'Never saw any thing
like it."
Ho ran over half q dozen of tho photo
graphs in his hand, which no had evil
dcntly just received from q photograph
gallery, rcmarking:
well, If Princella isn't turtlc-dovo
thoy don't raise 'om in this country"
Ho handed ono of tho pictures to tho
man on tho other sido of him and asked:
"What would you say if told you 1
was goin' to marry that gal next
week?'
"Protty girl. I should congratulate
you," replied tho man, as no examined
tho picture.
''That's whatr' exclaimed tho youth,
heartily. ''Sho's tho best gal in our
county, and Two had tho pick on choice
of all Of 'cm. There isn't ono of 'cm
that wouldn't marry mo quicker nor

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they can not
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucus lining of the Gus
tachian tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and =,
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inhamed condition of the mucus
surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that we can not cure by taking

Written Under Fire.

A Journal reporter while at the state
capitol, Saturday, found Major G. j.
House, messenger to the governor and
council, engaged in looking over some
old files of the monthly returns of alb
sentees, through wounds and sickness,
from the ranks of the gallant First
Maine Heavy Artillery during the war
While rummaging through them he
came to returns of Company +, made
by himself when orderly sergeant of
the company. These were carefully
written in a neat, legible hand, and
bore the date of October, 1864. The
table on which they were written, the
major says, was an old hard bread box,
located in the " gopher-hole " of the
captain. This was when Grants army
was laying siege to Petersburg and was
constantly under fire. Company L at
that time was located in the place then
known as " Fort He'll" in the front of
the Notifications. The " gopher-holes :"
alluded to all old veterans are familiar
with, but to those who are not they
may be known simply as holes in the
ground, into which during heavy bonn
bardment, those who could avail them
selves of the opportunity would run for
shelter. The major says that the boys
derived considerable entertainment al
most every evening from witnessing
the bursting shells fired from the rebel
mortars, and when it was seen that one
of these missiles was to burst in their
vicinity general scramble for the
/" gopher-holes " ensued, resembling
the skurrying of prairie dogs when an
enemy approaches, The amusement
of the afternoon was the soothing tones
played by the tipping minie-balls, each
of which seemed to possess different
tone, from that of distant bumblebee
to that of cat whose tail had been
nipped between Chicago sidewalk
and residents foot.-AuguSta Jour

ceived GO, 435 recruits. OF these, 80, 800
were white; 1890 were colored: 81 ,691
were natives, and 22,744 were foreign
ers. 1t is the experience of intelligent
officers who have served much with
troops that while the men of different
nationalties do not differ much in their
military capacity, certain general prop
ostions are true. The Englishman is
most likely to be insubordinate. He
has the habit of pretending to have
fallen from a superior station. If he is
a deserter from the British army, he is
still worse. The Irishman must be
closely watched. He is one of the best
soldiers when he is good and one of
the worst when he is bad. The Ger
mans and Scandinavians are very trust
worthy. The New Highlander is in
telligent, but opinionated to degree
that sometimes leads him to insubord-
ination. If he is able to control his
sprightly independence he is likely to
become an excellent non-commissioned
officer, and may even secure one of the
few commissions that are bestowed
upon men of the ranks. The south
erner is more likely to be subordinate.
The negro troops are proficient in drill,
very docile, exceedingly clean, and are
good soldiers. They never lose their
fondness for the display of the service.
The northern is better than the southern
negro. The native white soldier is the
most restless and the most depressed
by the monotony of the army post

A Ku-Klux's Honor.

A man who lived through year and
half of carpet-bagism in South Caro-
lima told, the other night, some re-
markable stories of that period. One
of them eXemplifies the best concep-
ton of southern "honah," and might
well 90 down to history along with
other such tales of devotion to ideas.
AT the time in question one of many
prisoners held without bail on the
charge of Ku-kluxism, and likely, as
all the world supposed, to be convicted
and hanged, was an eX-confederate
colonel. This man received word that
his child was lying at the point of
death and asked of the command ant
permission to visit his home, fourteen
miles away, in the country. The COM
mandant knew the character of his
prisoner and let him 20 with no other
hold upon him than the mans promise
to return at sunset two days later. AS
the hour for the prisoners return APP
preached the commandant uneasily
watched the setting sun and showed
unmistakabe signs of disturbance, but
just as the sun disappeared below the
horizon the eX-confederate presented
himself and saluted He had walked
the whole distance back and forth, and
now he came with the news that his
child was still living, though beyond
hope. Could he 90 back if he would
promise to return to his prison in
twenty-four hours? The commandant
again set the prisoner free, and twenty
four hours later he returned and gave
himself up. Happily, his faithfulness
to promises was rewarded, for neither
he nor any other Ku-kluX was hanged.

REMARKABLE REsCUE.-Mrs. Mich

statement that she caught cold, which
settled on her lungs. She was treated
for month by her family physician,
but grew worse. He told her she wasl
a hopeless rictim of consumption an
that no medicine could cure her. Hen
druggist suggested DIR. Kings New Dis
covery for Consumption. She bought
a bottle, and to her delight found her
self benefited from first dose. She
continued its use, and after taking ten
bottles found herself sound and well;
now does her own homework and is
as well as she ever was. Free trial

THE favorite prescription of very
successful physician was " to be little
lazy" This remedy ought to be used
with judgment. He once recommended
it to government official, but, with
most people, rest and quiet are the best
possible means of cure, and change of
occupation is usually better than total
cessation of activity.
