What a Little Fun Did.

Two sons Of W. T. Webster while playing
Monday mornipD on their fathers farm
near Wichita started disastrous prairie
FIRE. The wind was blowing q gale and the
fire spread with great rapidity toward the
northwest and at latest reports had burned
over fifty quarter sections of land. The houses
barns and outhouses of ten farmers we're de-
stroyed and great quantity Of grain and hay
consumed So far as can be learned the loss
among the live stock was not severe. The fire
has now about burned itself out, but it il
feared that high wind, which still prevails,
may fan some Of the dying embers into a blaze.

stole from the lord of tho tides by strategy
also the new moon. He also stole the sun and
stars from the boxes in which they were i'm
prisoned by the lord of the tides.
when the sun shone forth for the first time
all the people were frightened, and ran in all
directions; some of them into the mountains,
some into the woods aud some into the water,
and all Of these were transformed into animals
according 10 their hiding place.
Fire he obtained from an island in the sea.
he reached there by the help of his magic bird
skin, and Selling burning brand in his beak
he started back but the journey was so long
that nearly all the wood burned up and even
the point OF his bill was scoTched black and he
had TO let il drop. The sparks flew over the
ground in all directions. From this time both
the wood and stone contain fire, which can be
obtained from the one by striking it and from
the other by rubbing.

Many were the thrilling episodes and adven-
lures Of the great war which fell in fascinating
recitals from the lips of Con. Sherman, but
they are either recorded In tho pages OF his
autobiography, or are too long and discursive
10 set down here. One little fash of humor
is, perhaps, worth preserving from all the war
talk which we enjoyed.
"Gen. Thomas" said he, Junior 10 me in
rank, but senior in service was a stern disci
plnarian. He had received many complaints
about the pifering and pinDderng committed
by one Of his brigades, and. being resolved to
put this oiiense down, he issued some very
strict ORDERS menacing with death any who
should transgress. Tho brigade In question
wore for its badge an acorn, in silver or gold
aud the men we're iu0rdiuately fond of this
distinctive sign. Several cases Of disobedience
had been reported TO the General. but the evil
dence was never strong enough for decisive
action, until one day, riding with an Orderly
down by-lane outside tho post, Thomas came
full upon an lrishman, who, having laid aside
his rife. with which he had killed hog, was
busily engaged in skinning the animal with
his sword bayonet, 30 AS to make easy work
with the bristlcs, etc, before cooking some
pork chops.
"'Ah,' cried tho General. you rascal at
last j have caught one Of you in the act
There 10 no mistake about il this time, aud
i will make an example of you SIR
- Bedad, General, honoyp said the man.
strengthening himself up and coming TO the
salute, it's not shootin' me that you ought TO
be at. but rewardin' mo-
What do you mean, sirT exclaimed Gen
Thomas.
why, yOnr bonor!' the soldier replied,
this bad basic here had just been disIcratin'
the regimental badge, and so | was forced To
dispatch him. It's atm tho acorns / found
him atP
Even Gen. Thomas was obliged to laugh at
this, aud the soldier saved his life by his wit"

Is II Maj. Andres swordI

Henry Reipe keeps boathouse and fisher
mems resort on the Passaic River at Avondale.
Just behind his residence is a little vineyard.
While hoeing among his vines a few days ago.
he came upon long, narrow piece of rusted
metal. After cleaning off the gravel, dirt, and
mold, he saw that he had an officers sword of
Revolutionary pattern. The sword was Of the
regulation size and had an old-fashioned Eng
iish handle 1t was stuck almost fast In a
metal scabbard. Excepting about six inches
Just below the hilt. it was in perfect condition.
Reipe polished il with cleaning powder, and
was rewarded fer his pains with the discovery
OF this inscription in old English letters on
the blade: "Majo John Andre" There is no
other letter or mark on the sword. Major
Andre is said to have traversed all the ground
In the neighborhood of Reipe's place. so it is
thought there 10 little doubt that the old sword
once swung at his side. Reipe says tho sword
lay about one foot under the surface, and sixty
feet from the river shore.
