THINGS EVENED UP.
Why the Old Woman Didn't Object to
One-Legged Husband.

One-Legged Husband.
I had had a big chunk of lead from a
Confederate cavalry carbine driven into
nv shoulder at Brandy Station. and was
in hospital at Washington for treat
ment, when an Ohio infantryman was
placed on the cot next on the left. He
had been shot in the leg about two
months before, and after every effort
had been made to save the limb he had
been brought here to have it amputated.
A surgeon came one day to notify him
that the operation would be performed
the next day, and Bill. as we called him,
listened, and then replied:
Say, Doc, I'm waiting for letter
from the old woman. wrote to her
that the leg would probably have to
come of, and 1 want to hear what she
has to say"

RANDOM SHOTS.

THE State of Kansas has a law appro-
priating the sum of $50 to bury any sol
der or sailor who may die in destitute
circumstances or whose family are too
poor to afford decent burial.
ORDERS have been issued from the
navy department to have the torpedo
boat Alarm, now at New York, fitted
out for service as a gunner's boat for the
use of apprentices and seamen at the
training station at Newport, z. l.
SENATOR MANDERsoN introduced in
the Senate bill to grant bounty to
the soldiers of the regular army who
served in the last war. The bill pro-
vides that all such who were honOrably
discharged from the service shall re-
ceive $40 a month for the time they
served. This bill applies to all nom
commissioned officers and soldiers, and
in case of death to their wives.
A FAVORABLE report has been ordered
By the House military committee on the
bill TO retire General Fremont with the

MARYs YOUNG MAN.

Hes bashful, he's nervous, he's breathless with
fear,
His knees are all trembling, his voice isn't
here;
He's fixed himself up just as smart as he can,
For he knows that we all know thathe's Mary's
young man.
His black hair is parted with exquisite skill,
The barber has soaked II with bay rum at will /;
He has a mustache on the cricket team plan,
Just eleven on side has our Marys young
man
His new boots are squealZy; his clothes freshly
pressed;
He sports two gold chains on the front of his
vest,
His face is well Drowned with flush through
the tan,
Indeed he's quite handsome, is Mary's young
man.
He loves Mary fondly, and she likes him, too;
He comes twice week now his darling to WOO
They sit in the parlor, she firts her new fan;
And he firts with Mary, does Mary's young
man.
He's getting less bashful, we see, every week,
And we think before long he'll get courage 10
speak.
Then Mary's expression he'll anxiously scan
And then for the wedding Of Mary's young man.

IRON FROM THE SKY.
The Raw Material from Which the Az
tees Made Their Implements.

The Raw Material from Which the Az
tees Made Their Implements.
When Cortez had completed the con-
quest of Mexico, the Spaniards, among a
great many other peculiar and extraodi-
nary observations which they made in
that remarkable country, were particu-
larly struck and puzzled by one fact.
They noticed that the Aztecs possessed
certain implements, such as knives, dag
gers, etc., made of iron, but it seemed
that only the most distinguished of the
natives possessed such, that iron was a
great rarity, and was priced higher than
gold.
At first the Spaniards believed that
the Aztecs extracted the metal in some
crude fashion from it's ore, which
abounded in many parts of the country,
but they soon ascertained that this was
not the case. They found that not a
single smelling furnace existed in the
empire, and their surprise was not small
when they learned that the Aztecs were
totally unacquainted with any method
of extracting the iron from the ore,
which indeed they bad never suspected
of any kinship with the highly valued
metal.
The question whence the Aztecs had
procured the little iron they possessed
became a perplexing problem to the
Spaniards, problem which they were
never able to solve. The natives do not
seem to have enlightened them much
on the subject, for when asked they
mysaariously pointed to the sky and in
dictated that they obtained their iron
from the regions above. Such asser-
lions no doubt the Spaniards received
with an incredulous smile, and they con-
cluded that the Aztecs received it by
way of traffic with some other perhaps
more civilized nation, which they sus-
eected to exist and kept looking for,
Eo-th and south, for more than a hun
dred years.
1t was left to modern science to I'M
ravel the mystery. The Aztecs were
quite correct. The iron of which they
had made their implements was not
fashioned from materials of this ter
restrial globe, but had come to them
from the unknown regions of space.
Their iron was, in fact, of meteoric
origin, like that of the Mayas of Yucca
tan and the Incas of Peru, of which
many weapons are still preserved in col
lections.-American Geologist.

REBuKED BY JACKSON.

How the Southern General Taught One
of His Colonies a Valuable Lesson.
An old soldier at the Capitol told this
story of Stonewall Jackson:
1t was during his valley campaign, and
battle was expected within day or
two, though Jackson's plans were so
carefully guarded that not even his
Adjutant could guess them intelligently.
This self-reliance was characteristic Of
Jackson, and his aversion to telling his
plans was we'll known among his officers
and men. In fact, it was his policy to
surprise his own men no less than to
surprise the enemy.
General Jackson was one of the group
of officers, and another of the group was
Georgia Colonel who is still living.
Conversation was dragging. Jackson
was thoughtful and had little to say,
and the effect was dampening. Finally,
lust to revive the conversation, the
Georgia Colonel asked abruptly:
General, will we have fight to-
morrow"
Every body knew in an instant that
the blunder was irreparable, and nobody
realized this more than the Colonel.
Jackson turned quickly and stared
full in the speakers face. Then he
slowly surveyed the Colonel from head
to foot, and back again.
The silence was painful.
Colonel" said the General slowly,
but not in an unkind tone, ''can youkeep
a secret?"
Eyes, General" was the warm, if en-
barrassed, assurance. 81 know l can,
General. Yes, sir"
care you quite certain, Coionel?"
81 am quite certain, General"
swell, Colonel" in the same quiet,
even tone, $50 can 1, sir"
The Colonel's face flushed crimson, and
there was deathly silence for half a
minute or more.
"Now, Colonel" said Jackson, with
some feeling, that rudeness of mine
hurt me as much as it did you, but
trust that it has taught you valuable
lesson. If we do have fight tomorrow
Colonel, your regiment shall have
chance. Atlanta Constitution.

General Grant died. the two chairs
where he passed so many weary hours,
the pen with which he last wrote, the
pencils and pads he used when commu-

messages to friends, a portion of his
wardrobe, and, perhaps, the most sug.
gestive of all, on the stand by the side
of the leather-covered chairs that served
as his couch until few hours before
his death, candle burned to the socket

which works by a spring, is set

Mr.. Kibbee Was Surnrisad.

Ever since the time when Mr.. Kiboee of the
Hotel Ryan was living on Chica 20 chicken and
faith out in Montana, he has been regarded a
one of the unrattleable variety of men, one
whom nothing short of an earthquake or the
appearance of the angel Gabriel would ever
disturb, relates the st. Paul Pioneer Press. He
used to be so cool that there seemed to bs some
grounds for tne belief that if he should ever
perspire that it would be ice water He has
lost his reputation for calmness. owing to
little incident which occurred recently, about
which he observes a reticence that is absolutely
painful The boys at the hotel secured healthy
but hungry crawfish and assigned it to Mr.
Klobee's room, taking precautions against its
escaping by tying it to the sheets at about the
point where Mr. Kibbees feet would later or
be located
After making the usual preparations that a
sober man makes for retiring, he turned out

small but enthusiastic, awaited DEVELOPMENTS

OF language unfit for publication that could
