Two nights after this, as Capt. Buxton
was sulkily going the rounds of the SEN
tries, he made discovery which greatly
enlivened an otherwise uneventful tour
as officer of the day. 1t had been his
general custom on such occasions to take
the shortest way across the parade to the
guard house. make brief and perfunctory
inspection there, then go on down the
hill to the creek valley and successfully
visit the sentries around the stables. If
the night were wet or cold, he went back
the same way, ignoring the sentries at
tho coal and store sheds along Prairie
avenue. This was sharply cold night
and very dark. but equally still 1t was
between 12 and l o'clock-nearer than
ls-as he climbed the hill on his home
ward way. and, instead of taking the
short cut, turned northward and strucl,

OF Buxton's caliber. who, having grown

rance, were fiercely intolerant of lieu

, tenants VINO strove 10 improve In pro-
fessional reading instead of spending
their time making out the company MUS
ter rolls and clothing accounts, as they
should do.
Buxton wanted to see for himself what
the night lights meant, and was p.unGlng
heavily ahead through the darkness,
when suddenly brought to a stand by
the sharp challenge Of the sentry at the
coal shed. He whispered the mystic
countersign over the leveled bayonet of
the infantryman, swearing to himself at
the regulation which puts an officer in
such ..stand.and-deliver" attitude for
the time being, and then, by way of get
ting square with the soldier for the
sharply military way in which his duty
as sentry had been performed, the cap
tain proceeded to catechise him as to his
orders. The soldier had been well
taught. and knew all his responses" by
rote-far better than Buxton, for that
matter, as the latter was anything but an
cxemplar Of perfection in tactics or SEN
try duty; but this did not prevent Bux-
tons snappishly telling him he was
wrong in several points and contemptu-
ously inquiring where he had learned
such trash. The soldier promptly but
respectfully responded that those were
the exact instructions he had received at
the adjutant's school. and Buxton knew
from experience that he was getting on
dangerous ground. He would have stuck
to his point. however. in default of some
thing else to find fault with. but that the
crack of whip, the crunohing of hoofs
and rattle of wheels out in the darkness
quickly diverted his attention.
Whats that, sentry?" he sharply in
quired.
"A carriage, sir. Leastwise, think
it must be-"
"Why don't you know. sir? 1t must
have been on your post"
mo. sir: it was way off my post. 1t
drove up to Lieut.. Haynes about half an
hour ago"
"Where'd it come from from?" asked
captain, eagerly.
From town, sir, I suppose" And.
leaving the sentry to his own reflections,
which, on the whole, were not compli-
mentary to his superior officer, Capt
Buxton strobe rapidly through the dark
ness to Lieut.. Haynes quarters. Bright
lights were still burning within, both on
the ground floor and in a room above.
The sentries were just beginning the call
OF o'clock when he reached the gate
and halted. gazing inquisitively at the
house front. Then he turned and listened
to the rattle of wheels growing faint in
the distance as the team drove away
towards the prairie town. If Hayne had
gone to town at that hour of the night it
was a most unusual proceeding. and he
had not the. coloners permission to alb
sent himself from the post; of that the
officer of the day was certain. Then,
again, he would not have gone and left
all his lights burning. No; that vehicle,
whateverit was, had brought somebody |
out to see him-somebody who proposed |
to remain several hours; otherwise the
carriage would not have driven awav.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.

The Maritime Canal Company |
has filed its annual report for the |
year ending December l, 1890. 1t
shows that during that time work
on the Nicaragua ditch has been
prosecuted with energy that pro-
gress has been made, and that in
no case has the cost of the work
exceeded the estimate made before
it was begun. All of the final
plans and detail surveys have been
completed aud verified.
Parts of the San Juanille, Desc
odo, San Francisco and other rivers
forming parts of the route OF the
| Canal have been cleared of obstruc-
tons, and are ready for dredging.
Ten miles of the canal on the east
side have been grubbed preparatory
for excavation, and thus far about
| 100000 cubic yards of earth have
been removed. Several miles OF
aquaduct to supply mountain water
to the company and it's workmen
hive been completed, and ten miles
of railroad ready for excavation.
Thus far about 100, 900 cubic yards
of earth have been taken out.
Several miles of aqueduct to sup
ply mountain water to the com
pany's headquarters and to the
workmen have been completed
Ten miles of railroad from Gray
town to the first divide have beer
built, and blasting on the mos
difficult part of the work a racf
cut two miles in length, situated a
the junction of the canal and thu
San Juanillo river, is now going on

Who Should Bow First.

Who should bow first Some au-
thorities insist that gentleman
should not bow TO lady first until
she bows to him. The author OF the
American Code of Manners says that
this is all wrong. a gentleman should
always bow first to lady, no matter
whether she returns or not. If he
sees by her face that she does not
wish to return it he can refrain from
bowing the next time. This is on the
ground that a lady, particularly an
elderly one or a society leader, has so
MANY acquaintances that she does
not remember all the young men who
have been presented.
This. however, does not seem TO
settle the question conclusively, for it
may be that the young man has quite
as many acquaintance as the lady,
even if an elderly one. He may him
self. too, very likely. be a society
leader; in fact, a very large number
of society leaders at the present time
are at what would have been consid-
cred so years ago comparatively I'M
mature age. Our idea is, and it has
been arrived at after reflection, that
both persons should bow simultane-
ously. Perhaps, in the case of very
near-sighted persons, a little latitude
might be given, providing the fact Of
myopia can be clearly proved by med
ical evidence. There is, however,
always danger in these exceptions to
social rule, and therefore it may be
safer for near sighted persons to bow
i'm all cases Of doubt, accustoming
themselves to do this with uniform
courtesy whether they are themselves
recognized or not.

A story is told OF Congressman
TauIbee, OF Kentucky. who was shot
lately by Chas. Kincaid In Washing
ton City, that contains considerable
humor. An old colored man called
Uncle Eph had lived in the Taulbee
family many years and was consider
ed an honest and faithful servant.
After the election for Congressman,
Taulbee having been n candidate, he
wa. taunted by some OF his oppo-
nents with the statement that Uncle
Eph had voted against him. 10th to
believe it. he called old Eph into his
room and said: Uncle Eph, IL II
true that you voted against me at the
electionT' "Yes, massa William,
replied Fph, II voted the publican
ticket" Well" said Taulbee, II
like frankness, and here's dollar Tor
your candor." The old colored man
stood scratching his head, when
Taulbee asked "Well. Eph, what Is
itr' well, Massa Taulbee," said
Eph, III you is buying candor you
owe me TO dollars mo- kase j voted

Warts.

Beneath the epidermal, or outer
up into little mounds or cones, called
papilla. Into these run the small
blood-vessels and the sensitive nerve
endings. Sometimes one OF these
papille takes on an abnormal growth
which projects above the level of the
surrounding skin, and is known as
waTt.
Since the enlarged papilla may
have one OF various shapes, the wart
may be pointed, or round, or ilatten'
ed, and may be attached to the skin
by base which is broad, or by n
small pedicle. Sometimes the papilla
is branched, and then the wart ap-
pears TO be split.
In what is known as the seed
wart," which is very broad and fissur-
ed in various directions, there Is series
OF branches OF the underlying papilla,
each branch being covered with its
layer of epidermis.
Warts grow generally upon the face
and hands, but no part OF the body Is
exempt from them They are seen
most frequently in the young and
the very old, persons OF middle-age
being less frequently attacked.
Sometimes a crop will appear all at
once, almost in night, and they
may disappear with equal suddenness.
The reason for such appearance and
disappearance is rarely known, but
probably local irritation has some
thing TO do with II in many cases. 1t
il a popular idea that they are conta-
gious, and certainly there are facts
which seem to point that way; but
what the nature OF this contagion is,
il there is any, is yet to be discovered.
Warts rarely appear singly, and may
reach enormous numbers as well as
large proportions.
Though in themselves all warts are
harmless, it is undoubtedly true that
they are sometimes the starting
points for cancerous diseases. This
il more likely TO occur when the wart
is unduly rubbed or irritated.
The commonest treatment Il by the
use OF some form OF mild caustic.
Rather more satisfactory, however, Is
the treatment OF surgical procedures,
either 10y the knife orthe sharp scrap
ing spoon. The process, whatever 1t
il. must be q thorough one, for II the
papilla is not entirely removed, the
growth will speedily recur.

fine pickles.
why do you make me present Of
themF'
Because you gave me advice that
is worth a great deal"
The morning Of one Fourth of July
came, and he pondered whether TO go
TO his store or not. All at once he
thought, people going on picnics will
want pickles; it was the magic words
on the little card that ran through
his mind. He found as he had thought,
a large number Of buyers waiting for
him.
The little card was consulted in all
sorts of weather. If man made a
proposition TO him Of any kind, and
he was in doubt, he would 60 and
look at the words, though he knew
them by heart already. One day a
cheese merchant came TO persuade
him to buy his stock.
People said he who buy pickles
always buy cheese, you will do big
trade 1t was a temptation. He
went and loob ed at the words and
studied them intently, trying to think
out their application TO the case in
hand. Men do what they can" he
reflected. Il would like TO sell cheese,
but know can sell pickles" Then
he returned. Now he was resolute
and firm, although by nature easily
bent and swayed by the words Of
others.
Business is business he said. Il
am in the pickle business, if | cannot
make money in this | shall quit and
go into something else, but | will not
have two kinds on my hands,
1t was turning point; after this
he could refuse all influence to go
into something that seemed at the
time to be more lucrative. He was
not only industrious, it is plain he
had fixed principle of action. Or
course he was successful; all men who
put industry and mind to their work
are bound TO be successful. When
the ten years were up of course he
had $4,000, and more, too.

MY OLD-FASHIONED GIRL.


AS the clock on the stairs ticks the minutes
away
sit with my pipe at the close OF the day,
And in the light smoke-wreaths that softly
arise
Are numberless visions In fancitul guise.
In sun bonnet olden dreamily see
Two roguish blue eyes glancing shyly at me,
The incense arises in one lazy curl,
Eniraming the face OF my old-fashioned girl.
7 look once again in her soft, azure eyes
Live over our meetings meath June's tender
skies
AS we strolled side by side down some shsd-
owy lane,
or skirted the acres ofripening grain;
While but hearken. hear even yet
Her fairy-like steps in dim minuet,
And there comes from the smoke, in deli
cate whirl.
The willowy form OF my old-fashioned girl.
I hear the sweet voice that heard years ago,
And her hand touches mine as we passed to
and fro,
When we meet for an instant in old Money
Musk,
Or tenderly clasp IL at midsummers DUSK,
And each hunting vision in fragrant disguise
Grows fainter and fainter and finally dies.
Yet one face is left me, as pure as pearl,
The face Of my darling-my old-iashioned
girl
In the sweet little miss who climbs up on my
knee
To kiss grandpa goodnight" there is some
thing see,
Unseen by all others, deep down in her eyes
A something within them that half hidden
lies;
She wonders perhaps, why hold her small
hand,
But If should tell her She not understand.
The grandmother yonder beyond the smokes
curl,
Was once, and to-day is, my old-fashioned
girl.
