Five Millions of Soldiers.

Some years ago an idea suggested itself
to an obscure workman of Belleville, an
idea that since then has engendered an
army, amply qualified, were it a question
of numbers alone, to realize the dream OF
eternal peace, by keeping in check the
assembled armies of Europe. He sets on
foot 100000 soldiers year. These sol
diers are of humble origin, but so was Ma
poleon. They sprang from old sardine
boxes. RELOCATED to the dust hole, the
sardine box is preserved from destruction
by the dustman, who sells it to a rag mer-
chant in Belleville or in Bnttes Chau-
mont, who in his turn disposes Of it to a
specialist, by whom it is then prepared for
the manufactures The warriors are made
from the bottom of the box, the lid and
sides are used for guns, railway carriages,
bicycles, ETC. All this may seem unimpor-
tant at first sight, but the utilization Of
these old sardine boxes has resulted in the
foundation Of an enormous mandatory, at
which no less than 200 workmen are en-
ployed. / went there the other day, and,
no one suspecting me of being a political
correspondent, | was admitted without
difficulty to view of the great arsenal
and its 100000 warriors The poor
workman, out of whose head the armed tin
soldier sprung-via the sardine box-is
now rich man, and, what is more, an
eager and keen-sighted patriot, who in his
sphere deserves the gratitude of his coun-
try. After retreating for years the French
tin soldiers take the offensive again; every
year the German spiked helmets retire
from positions conquered in French nurse
ries, and the time is not far distant when
the tricolor shall wave over the Berlin toy
shops-a slight revenge en- attendant the
great.-Bldck1gooF Magazine.

Once when Wisconsin circuit Judge
was impaneling jury, he said that if any
one wished to be excused from service,
reasons should be given at once and the
sufficiency would be duly considered. One
man had sick child, and another a sick
COW. Presently, after considerable rumi-
nation, an Irishman arose. His face and
attitude bespoke heavy sorrow and a
reverent humiliation to Divine Provi-
dence. His words were few and simple;
'Jedge, me VOTES did," with stomachic
emphasis on the "did." The Judges heart
was touched, and he said: "Well, my
good man, guess wen have to let you
go"
The Irishman slowly took his hat and
went. When he had gotten his body well
outside of the Courtroom, he poked his
face back through the nearly closed door,
with a triumphant grin, and said:
'Yis, sor; she's been did fhorty year

HOW HE WAS STABBED TO DEATH

A Chinaman Who Witnessed the Tragedy

The thrilling details of murder com.

recesses Of a Placer county forest, have re-
Gently come to light. The detectives al

lie print until yesterday, when secrecy was
no longer considered of any avail, and one
of the officers unbosomed himself to a re-

On the 18th day OF November lady
dressed in black attire stepped from the
west-bound train at Colfax, and had her
trunk taken to the Depot Hotel Shortly
after she had been shown to her room she
stepped down 10 the Office to make some
inquiries regarding outgoing trains.
While she was engaged in conversation at
the Office desk, the second cook, China
man, entered he room with a basket OF
vegetables which he had procured from the
market.
When he caught a glimpse of the
woman he dropped his basket upon the
floor and ran. The proprietor followed,
but the Chinaman ran away, saying he was

aUigators, Nests.

Alligators' nests, says the St. Louis Re
public, resemble haycocks more than any
thing else to which they can be compared.
They average about four feet in hight and
about five feet in diameter, and are con-
structed of grasses and heritage. First the
mother gator deposits one layer Of eggs
on floor of mortar, and having covered
this with a stratum of mud and heritage
about eight inches thick, lay another set
of eggs upon that, and so on to the top,
there being commonly from 100 to 200
eggs in nest. With their tails they then
beat down the tall grass and weeds to pre-
vent the approach of unseen enemies. The
female watches her eggs until they are
Matched by the heat of the sun, and then
takes her brood under her own care, de-
Tending them and providing for their sub
sistence. DIR. Luizemburg, of New Or
leans, once packed one of these nests for
shipment to st. Petersburg, but they
Matched out before they were started on
the long journey. and were kept around
the doctors premises, running all over the
house, up and down stairs, whining like
young puppies.

For the RECoRD-UNIoN.1
THE OLD YEAR AND THE NEW.

It's night of wall, and night of woe,
And night of doom and DEATH
Stran &c shapes in Heaven fly to and fro,
And a horror spreads over earth below,
For the feHds are busy beneath.
And the wind from the north and the wind
from the east
Meet and mingle, and round and round
Go hand in hand with moaning sound;
And the white moon, high in the stormy sky,
Peers out with q frighted face
Through the broken clouds as they hurry by,
Shaking their names in their headlong race,
Tossing their plumeS as they reel and dance
Here and there in the dim expanse-
For tonight is the last of the olden year;
And ages and ages long bygone,
They are circling around and lowering near;
They have woven his robe and twined his
crown,
And are waiting about to carry him down.
He has barred the door and the windows close,
He has heaped fresh logs on the fire;
And brimm ,ng cup on the blaze he throws
Till the flames flash higher and higher.
20 the Old Year sits with his friends together,
And they scott in their hearts at the surly
weather.
"Ha Ha p' laughs the Year, ''they have pat
tered tale
And they tell me die tonight;
But my limbs are lithesome, and sturdy, and
hale,
And my spirits were never so light;
So Well drink till our noses are red as the
And well see who has falsely foretold in the
morning
And "Ha Ha % his friends in a chorus shout,
And the tankards elatter and clink,
And the flames flash up to the rafters stout
Till the rafters shriyel and shrink;
While the forests about in the tempest are shak-
ing,
And the night shrinks aghast from the day that
is breiking.
So they feast and shout, while the winds with
out
Ccease never their wall and warning,
Till afar in the East in his cloudy towers up
riseth the misty morning.
Then hush for the winds have stopped at the
gate,
| And the flames die down on the floor,
| And the Old Year boweth his white head low
| Like a crested wave on the shore.
! He is dead he is dead, and his requiem swells
| As in turret and tower thousand bells
| Ring and swing with dangerous din,
| And the wild winds carry the New Year in;
| And the New Year sits with a smiling face
where the Old Year sat before,
And the fierce led flames with a crackle and
| hiss
Leap up from the logs once more.
And the friends that drank of the Old Year s
cup
For heath to the New fill the tankards up
| At the poor, dead Year they are scofiDg and
scorning
| Ere the skies are gray in the dawning.

An Unoonventionss Love STORY.

An aristocratic English family rented
pew in st. Stephens Church, London. For
years no one had dared enter that pew
save by special invitation, and when the
youngest daughter dreamed that young
naval officer would occupy it as an unbid-
den guest 1T the Sunday morning service,
she was laughed at. She persisted in tell
ing the dream, and described the appear
ance of the young intruder 50 wildly,
that when on the following Sunday
midshipman exactly answering to the de-
seription was found to have wandered into
the pew by mistake, the elder members Of
the family felt that the laugh was turned
against them. According to a statement
made later by the sailor, lie had seen the
fair young dreamer in dream of his own.
At any rate, 1t was a case of mutual love
at first sight. The midshipman ascer-
tanned the name of his inamorata and
called on her father to request him to al
low formal introduction, with view to
matlImouy."
The old gentleman was mad with rage,
and the interview terminated abruptly.
The midshipman shortly afterward went
to sea, and the love-sicll maiden was left
to comfort herself as best she might.
Frequently in the night watches she
seemed to see her audacious lover, and at
last she saw him on his ship while it was
battling with waves. Soon the ship
sank, and among those who went down
with 1t was the young sailor laddie.
Many years elapsed before the young lady
could ascertain the name of the hero or of
the ship on which he sailed. But she
eventually saw his photograph in a
friends album, and learnt not only the
name of the ship, but that it sank about
the time Of her second dream.

TWO NOBLE MEN.
An Incident Brought to Light by the
LYNN Fire,
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
Some time ago a young man who was
starting in business became indebted to a
Lynn manufacturer to the extent of $500
or $500. The young man did not only not
succeed in his business, but failed to pay
cent of the money he owed the manufact-
urer. The young mans father, it hap
pened, was an employee in the manufaet-
urer's establishment, and he took his sons
conduct so much to heart that he went to
the Office and demanded the privilege of
having a certain amount deducted from
his weekly wages until the debt was
discharged. The manufacturer objected !;
he insisted that the sons debt was not
the fathers; he knew that the
old man was poor, and he felt in his heart
that it would be mean thing to take the
money from him. But the father insisted
so stifiy upon his right to pay his sons
debt that the manufacturer at length con-
sented But he gave directions to his
cashier to have the amount which was
deducted from the old mans wages put
aside each week in an envelope and put
by itself in the safe.
Well, the time passed by, and it hap
pened that the last deduction had been
made, the sons debt completely paid, and
| the evidence of Indebtedness handed over
and cancelled, week or two before the
Lynn fire came. In the confagration the
establishment Of the manufacturer to
whom the debt had been pad, and in
which the old man was employed, was des-
troyed with the rest; but the safe came
out Of the vault unframed, and with it the
envelope containing the money represent
| ing the old mans slow accumulations to
vindicate his sons commercial honor, or to
satisfy his own pride. The manufacturer
had this envelope under his hand, with
the other effects rescued from his safe
| He had lost a great deal in the fire, but
| he could not find it in his heart to covert
into the treasury of his establishment the
money in the envelope, although it was his
by every title. He inquired into the old
mans circumstances, and found that his
home had been burned up and everything
in it. The employers loss was as nothing
to the workman's. He could begin again,
and, in fact, had practically resolved to be-
gin again in another town, where the old
man, perhaps couldn't follow him.
| The manufacturer had the veteran en-
ploye called in.
What are you going to do now?" he
asked him.
81 don't know, sir" said the workman,
everything is gone"
"Well," said, the manufacturer, 81 be-
lieve you have just completed the pay
ment to me of some $500 that you didn't
owe me ?"
at was money, sir, that my son owed
you"
"Well, I have kept that money at one
side in an envelope by itself. 1t came
through the fire. | don't want it, and
want you to take it."
He produced the envelope. This time
the old mans necessities overcame his
pride, and, full of gratitude aud rejoicing,
he took the money which was to tide him
over his present distress, and possibly en-
able him to get new foothold in the
world.

Boston Culture.

One whose testimony is worthy of all
confidence writes us "A clergyman from
distant city, accompanied by his wife,
entered Boston church one Sunday morn
ing, and being little late walked down
the aisle a short way hoping they would be
invited to a seat. The occupants of the
pews looked at them as they passed, but
made no sign. They continued the walk
until near the pulpit, when seeing a pew
with but one occupant they ventured in
and took seats. The gentlemen in the
pew put his glass to his eye and leisurely
surveyed the intruders from head to foot.
The clergyman, being a modest man, whis-
pered to his wife, Let us go OUT She re-
piled, Il am willing So they quietly
walked down the aisle again, but when
near the door repented the thought of
leaving Gods house though they had been
treated so discourteously, and made their
way to the gallery, where they enjoyed
the services, unmindful of the culture by
which they were surrounded. Christian
