The Man Who Shot Lord Nelson.

The man who shot Nelson has been
discovered, through his own memoirs
to have been Sergt. Robert Guillemard
He was stationed in the rigging OF
the Redoubtable and busted himself
in picking off men on the victory
He writes ain the stern OF the Vic
tory stood an officer covered with de.
corations, who had only one arm.
From what | had heard of Nelson
| had no doubt that it was he. AS
| had received no command to come
down out of the rigging and found
myself forgotten in the top, | deemed
it to my duty to fire into the stern Of
the English ship, which | saw unpro
tected and quite near. | might have
aimed at particular individuals, but
preferred to fire into the separate
groups which surrounded the different
officers. All at once perceived 6
great commotion on board the Victory
The people crowded around the officer
in whom / believed l had recognized
Lord Nelson. He had fallen to the
deck, and they carried him away al
once, covered with a mantle. The
excitement among the Victory's crew
confirmed me in the belief that | hat
not been deceived, and that it was in
deed the English admiral. A moment
later the Victory ceased firing

"Will be left TO Sarah's care a little
more than it has been, said Jessie,
firmly, yet blushing crimson.
"Halleluiah cried Tom, catching
her close 10 him. Jessie. darling, I'm
the happiest fellow in town, just now"
"Then I'll take good care to keep
you So" returned Jessie, blushing
again.
The pair were received with great
rejoicing by Lii and her husband
though that provoking fellow could
not help teasing Jessie a little.
However did you make up your
mind to leave that baby? he asked.
"Don't you feel anxious about him
Are you sure you can trust Sarah
Why, it was only this morning that |
was reading the most dreadful accoun
of the way nurse-girl treated a
small"
"Now, Joe, hold your tongue ~
Lii interrupted. And Tom looked
somewhat anxious lest Jessie should
feel annoyance at the unmerciful rail
lery.
But the little woman was a brave
little woman at bottom, and she meant
to profit by dear old Aunt Hannah's
advice in every way possible. So far
from being vexed or hurt, she laugh
ed merrily, and said, with the prettiest
possible air of humility:
"You needn't scold your husband
Lii: 1 deserve to be leased. I'm no
fonder of owning my faults than other
people; but you've all seen this one
so clearly, that | may as well be
frank. You needn't be afraid shall
ever again put baby before Tom
Baby is the prince-royal, but Tom is
king"
Katie Wilder appeared just in time
to catch the last words. A glance al
Toms happy face showed her that nc
vile would be of any avail Jessie S
lesson had taught the young wife how
to win her husband back.

ALPENA WEEKLY ARGUS.
MISCELLANEOUS.
A Memory.


We met, Just for a little golden space
IgaEed into thy earnest soulful eyes,
And, suddenly, through opening portals
streamed
The glory Of an earthly Paradise.
We parted, thick with sharp realities.
Like cruel thorns, fste's hedges shut me In,
And dark the world grew for that feeling
glimpse
OF the enchanted realm might have been"
think Of thee, mad all things pure and sweet
Beneath the stars, or In bright fields Of
flowers;
When robins hail the drowsy purple morn,
Or at the twilights dreamy silver hours
And sometimes in green woods or lonely dells
When winds and leaves make music overhead
1 think of thee with deeper pain than IL
might have called thee mine and thou wer'
dead.

The Star Spangled Banner" and My Country
lis OF Thee. under the direction OF Miss II.
Ofey. After the flag had been unfurled, Mr..
Janncy standing by the pole, amid the cheers
below, took of his bat and gave three cheers
Tor the stars and stripes. During the singing
OF the last by mn, three salutes we're fired from

A Collapsed Attack.

From the Providence journal.
1t has been noticed no doubt, that the inves-
tigation into the conduct Of the civil service
commission. over which was raised such a blare
OF trumpets by the opponents of the civil
service law, has very suddenly dropped en-
tirely out of sight The explanation of its sud-
den disappearance is in the simple fact that it
collapsed. 1t was ordered by Congress in the
interests OF the supporters Of the spoils idea.
1t was practically an attack by the latter class
OF politicians upon the reform cause as a whole,
and it had the secret support of gentlemen who
stand high in administration circles. But.
despite its strong backing, it was doomed to
failure from the start, and in its ignominious
collapse it has brought nothing but ridicule and
dlscredit upon its promoters.
The charges against the commission were
presented in very Unsatisfactory shape, as
was readily seen to be natural when it was sub
sequently found that the irresponsible persons
who presented them knew nothing whatever
about the subject Such as they were how
over, they were promptly and efectually met
by the commissioners.
The investigation has come to naught, there
fore, simply because there was nothing of i'm
portance to investigate. The charges were
based for the most part on receptions and
misrepresentation. In no case could they be
fully sustained, while III most cases they failed
altogether. and the commissioners have risen
rather than fallen III public respect and conf
dencc as a result Of the examination liz to their
conduct.
