Worked Both Ways.

Col. Mosby relates the following
amusing incident, which occurred in
a cavalry fight in the Shenandoah
Valley in 1864: In the midst OF a
sharp cavalry engagement with Sher-
idan's men in a charge near Berry
vile there came riding into our lines
like a whirlwind a Yankee soldier on
a black horse. A score of men tried
to stop horse and rider, but the old
blacks blood was up and he went on
clean through our lines before he was
under control. The rider was sent
to Libby prison, and we mustered
the black charger into the conteder-
ate service. A few days later We
charged some OF Clusters men, and
that old black horse was ridden into
the engagement by one of orr sol-
diers. The old black evenel up things
too, for he carried his rider into the
federal lines and never came hack :.

Jeff Davis Ancestry,

/ q 4 <
This town, says a Phillipsburg
(Pa.) correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Press, has as citizen repre-
sentative of the family of the late
Jefferson Davis, in the person of Mr..
John M. Davis, and a stanch republi-
can.
Mr.. Davis, who is q well preserved
old gentleman about 20 year of age,
gave the following account of the
family.
"My father ancestors came origin
ally from Wales. The founder of
the Davis family to which I belong
and of which Jefferson Davis was a,
member was SO unfortunate as to
lose his wife, she having been stolen
by Indians shortly after settling in
Maine, of which state he was one of
the very first settlers. After waiting
a respectable length Of time he mar
ried again, and began to rear a sec
ond family OF children. One day he
heard that a band of Indians had
some women for sale somewhere up
on the Canadian border. attend
ed the sale, when he was surprised to-
see among them his former wife. He
bought her, took her home, and
from that time until his death lived
happily with both his wives in the
same household.
"a grandson Of his, and great
uncle to myself" continued Mr. Davis.
ATTENDED, one day, an animal show
at Newield, Me. While passing one
OF the elephants it playfully reached
into his coat pocket; taking there
from a plug oftobacco. When hehad:
tasted the tobacco it became enragedi
at Davis, and Selling him threw him
across the tent, to the great, amuse-
ment of the spectators. Mr.. Davis
became very angry, and; to- obtain
revenge waylaid the menagerie and
shot the beast. For this he wascom-
PEELED to leave the place; and all trace
OF him was for many years lost by
the family.
"My sister, Mrs. Smiley, Who, with
her husband, settled at Haverhill,
Mass, was enabled by, the assistance
OF other members of the family, about
the time of the centennial, to find
that the descendants of the hero. of
the elephant escapade had settled: in
Massachusetts, and that from them
had sprung the ex-president.''

A Persevering Prisoner.

Perseverance will accomplish
everything" | had these words for
a writing lesson once and I shall new
er forget them. 1t is a great thing
to have perseverance. There was
once a man who was shut up in a
dungeon with walls 200 feet thick,
made Of the hardest kind OF stone.
He had no tools except a pair of
scissors his brother had sent him in
u loaf of bread, but he rememb ered
that a drop of water will wear away
a stone if it falls on the stone long
enough, and that coral worm,
which is so small that you can hard
~ see it, will eat up and destroy a
coral reef if you will only give it time
enough. So he said that he would
persevere and dig hole through the
wall of the dungeon with the scissors
and escape if it took him hundred
years.
He had been digging abouta year
when the Governor pardoned him,
and the jailer brought him the joyful
NEWS. buG Jney cOuldn> E get him to
leave the dungeon. He told the Jail
er that he had undertaken to DIG his
way throught the wall and escape in
that way, and that he was going to
stick to it no matter how long it
might take. The jailer urged him to
give it up and walk out of the door,
and even offered him $40 to give up
his dungeon to new ledger, but
nothing could induce him to change
his mind. So he staid in the dungeon
and dug away at the wall for forty
seven years, and every six months he
had to pay a big bill for damages to
the jail, and he finally died when he
was half through the wall. This
shows what splendid thing perse-
verance is and that we all ought to
persevere.

An Irish Indian Queen.

The Indian government are about
to be called upon to repay sum OF
100000, which they have had in
their possession for several years,
the proceeds of a legacy left by the
wife OF one of the native princes, who
died upward of thirty years ago.
The deceased lady was an Irish wom-
an, who went to India some sixty
years since as the travelling com
panion Of two wealthy English ladies.
During her stay in India she attract
ed the notice of one Of the native SOW
ereigns, and he married her. The
pair lived happily for upward of thir-
ty years, the wife having a separate
estate settled upon her by the ma
harajah. She died childless and left
no will. Her property was taken
over by the Indian governments,
and it has remained in their hands
ever since. 1t was at the time OF hef'
death 100000, but it's value has
since arisen to close on 100000
The relatives of the deceased lady in
Ireland were in entire ignorance Of
her fate up sill quite recently, when
they learned it accidentally from q
returned Indian soldier. The in
quiries which have since been in
stitnted have fully established her
marriage with the Indian prince.
The friends have also assured Them
selves Of the existence and value Of
the property.--Dublin Freeman's
Journal.

Browning Had a Skeleton.
1t is said that Nhere is a skeleton

literally in Robert Browning's
apartments in the Casa Guida, in
Florence, some shirty years ago.
The Tribune says.it was kept there
in a cupboard, and was intended for
anatomical drawing. One night,
however, at a time when Home, the
Spiritualist, was ia Florence and a.
constant visitor aSs Casa Quida-for
both Browning and his wife were
firm believers in Home at this time,
though the husbands belief faded
in the face Of the disclosure of after
years-the skeleton fell from it's rest

such ali untoward occurrence was a
source Of great distress to Mrs.
Browning, and the skeleton prompt-

NO. IL, QUATRE PoCHES
Quatre poches: 1t is quite impossible to
fold this design unless the serviette is ex-
actly square and very stiff. The folds for
this are like those for the first folds of the
water lily. In the first diagram they are
precisely the same. The second folds are
also to the dotted lines of the same diagram,
but the serviette is turned quite over before
folding them. Thus, the four corners are
folded to the center four times; the servi-
cite Is turned over after each
after the last turn have square with an
opening in the center lying in each corner
Of the folded square. Fold the large square
down the center between the small corner
squares; you will then have two of the
smaller squares lying side by side. Now
fold in half again between these two squares,
press on these folds very heavily (this is to
mark the seryiette and to make bend nicely
in the CENTER, open out the last two folds
and you will have the large square again.
Take the four corners and turn them down
to meet underneath in the center, hold these
four points in the fingers of the left hand,
turn down the four loose corners, one by
one, and bend them out from the center.
The double folded part of the corner you
must turn quite down. and erase straight
along the top to make 1t retain its position;
the single fold of the corner must be round
ed over the fingers and left to stand up.
The principal rule to be observed is to keep
the four corners held very firmly in the left
hand while you are turning out the corners
with the right hand. You will have four
lines Sloping UP to the top of the center,
which were made by the last two folds that
were opened out; press these tightly and the
quatre poches will be complete.
