no DISCUS EAsrBouNp FREIGHT RATES

The question of eastbOund freight rates Will doubt
less be brought TO the attention of general meet
ing OF railroad managers. There Is no doubt that
rates badly cut, in the opinion OF men who should
know the facts, but whether evidence satisfactory to
the Interstate Commerce Commission can be adduced
remains TO be seen.
In connection with this it is interesting to note that
another competitor is TO be in the field when naviga
ton opens-a which always tries the virtues OF
railway men. President Galloway, Of the Toledo, st.
Louis and Kansas City Railway, anpounces that his
company will have line of frst-class "propelers
between Toledo and Buffalo, the business to begin on
April 10. william Winter is TO be the agent OF the
steamship company at Toledo and H. E. Hyde the agent
at Buffalo.

Mrs. ANA VANsICE died at her home
near Athens, Pa, Feb. 23, aged Sc years.
Mrs. Vansice was the mother of nine
boys, all of whom enlisted in the war
of the rebellion. One of her sons was
starved to death in Andersonville pris-
on, and another died in Alexandria, Va.
Athens Post, G. A. R., had the privi-
lege of mastering in the seven sons who
returned home at one time, the mother
being present and given the place of
honor in the post-room. All mothers in
the country might have given their
sons as willingly, but all did not have
so many sons to give. Mrs. Vansice was
an active member of the Baplis. church
for fifty years.-National Tribune.
A PATHETIC scene occurred between
Gen. oseph e. Johnston and Dabney III.
Maury during the fatal illness of the
former. Both of these men We're West
Pointers, served together in the Mexi-
can war, were both wounded in the
same battle, and were on most intimate
terms. Gen. Maury called to see Gen.
Johnston not many days before he died.
Desiring to appear as cheerful as posi-
BILE in parting he expressed the hope
that they would soon meet again. With
Gen. Maury's hand still in his Gen.
Johnston pulled his old friend down to
him and kissed him twice, once on the
forehead and once on the lips. "Yes,"
said Gen. Johnston, I'VE will surely

he never drank coffee, and rarely tasted
tea. Milk was his favorite beverage
when he could get it,. and pure water
when he could not.
His personal appearance was impress
sive, but without the slightest sugges-
ton of the pompous and oyerdressed
military man; he was plain as an old
stick, and looked more like an honest
country squire than the commander of
a warlike expedition. He had blue-gray
eyes, quick and penetrating in glance,
finely chiseled Roman nose, firm cnd
yet kindly mouth, wel-arched head,
good brow, and a general expression of
indomitable resolution, honest purpose,
sagacity, and good intentions. He had
an aversion to wearing uniform and to
the glitter and filigree of the military
profession. He was essentially man
of action and spoke but little and to
the point, but was fond of listening to
the conversation of others. He was at
all times accessible to the humblest
soldier or the poorest ''prospector,"
without ever losing certain dignity
which repelled familiarity but had no
semblance of haughtiness. He never
used profanity and indulged in no equivo-
cal language.
Probably no officer of equal rank in
our army issued fewer orders or letters
of Instructions. Example is always
the best general ordey," he said to me
once when we were seated side by side
on q fallen log in the lower Powder
valley, Montana, in most exasperat-
ing drizzle of rain in the summer of
1876. 1t certainly was true of campaign
ing in Arizona, and no officer or soldier
hesitated to endure any hardship when
he saw the commanding general at the
head of the column, eating the same ra-
tions as himself and not carrying
enough extra clothing to wad a shot
gun. There is one character in Ameri-
can history whom Crook, saving his bet
ter education and broader experience,
very strongly resembled-and that is

pick. Grasp it firmly, separate the
hands, and you will of course see that
you have transferred the picks.
In order to return them to their for.
mer positions you must reverse the pro.
cess just described. If the directions
are not implicitly followed the picks
cannot be transferred, for they viii
catch upon each other in transit.
If the trick is done with dexterity the
picks are made to exchange places al.
most as if by magic. 1t also heightens
the illusion somewhat to blacken one oil
the picks in order to convince your
friends that there is no deception about
the work.
