And now the air IS darkened with the fragments of bodies that are con- ing together from the opposite corners of the earth. Lost limbs finding their mate-bone to bone, sinew to sinew- until every joint is reconstructed, and every arm finds it's socket, and the am putated limb of the surgeons table shall be set again at the point from which it was severed. A surgeon told me that after the battle of Bull Run he amputated limbs, throwing them out of the window, until the pile reached up to the window-sin.

To Meet Her Lover.

At 5:30 in the morning a we'll dressed young woman arrived in Utica from Castle Garden. She had come all the way from place in western Russia, and was on her way to meet her lover in Duluth, Minn., who had left her two years before to find 8 home for both of them in the New World. He went to Duluth and became fairly prosperous. AS soon as he was able he wrote to his sweetheart and urged her to come t' him, but the age and sick ness of her parents kept her in Russia until this year. Both her parents having died, the young man sent her tickets to bring her to America, with what he supposed was sufficient money for the journey. The young woman began her journey more than a month ago, and when she arrived at Castle Garden thought she must be within a few hours journey of her friend. She came on to Utica, as stated, and was taken to the Central depot, whence she was to proceed on her journey by another train.
 She waited about the depot all day, and at night in broken German told Leonard Pruey, the baggage master, that she had not had anything to eat all day, and had only twenty c~nts in her purse. When she had rcc!ted the whole story, and MT. Pruey told l,sr that instead of few hours she would yet have several days of travel, her distress was pitiful. The kind hearted baggageman promised to do all he could for her, and began his ministra- tions by giving her 8 square meal. He then interested himself in bettering her financial condition, and told Conductor John Unser, of the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg, about it. Mir. Unser was bound north with his train and made no promises, but early the next morning when he came to Utics again he gave Mir. Pruey purse of money which he had collected on his train to help the girl on her way. She finally left Utica, after delay of about twen- ty-four hours, with a big bag of provi- sions and many good wishes. s.-Utica Herald.

THE SLEEP OF DEATH.
A Drowsiness That Attacks People h Some Climates Months Before Death.

A Drowsiness That Attacks People h
 Some Climates Months Before Death.
 An interesting account descriptive of the sleepy disease" peculiar to Africa, is given in the Journal of an African Cruiser" Persons attacked by this singular malatly are those who take little exercise and live principally on vegetables, particularly cassoda and rice Some observers ascribe it to the cassoda, which is strongly narcotic. Not improbably the climate has much influence, the disease being most prev alent in low and marshy regions.
 Irresistible drowsiness continually weighs down the patient, who can be kept awake only for the few minutes needful to take little food When this lethargy has lasted three or four months death comes, but only in the form of deeper slumber. The author of the book mentioned tells of mem- Der of the royal family of Luakaka who was afflicted with this curious di- sense:
 II found the aspect of Queen Mau- mee's beautiful granddaughter incon- ceivably affecting. It was strange to see her so quiet, in a sleep from which it might be supposed she would awake full of youthful vigor, and yet to know that this was no refreshing slumber, but spell in which she was fading for ever from the eyes that loved her.
 'This young girl was but IA years of age. With some difficulty sLe was aroused, and woke with frightened cry-a strange, broken murmur-as if she were looking dimly' out in the phantasies of dream. Her eyes were wild and glassy; rolled wildly in their sockets for second, then immediately sunk into the deep and heavy sleep in which we found her. This poor, doomed girl had been suffering for about three months--no, not suffering, for, except when forcibly aroused, there appears to be no uneasiness until after the end of the third month of this unnatural slumber, when the victim becomes wild and constantly rolls his or her head from side to side-never opening the eyes-death ensuing within @ few days after these symptoms set in."

 AS you all know, the old Northern Central bridge was then standing. and the tracks of that road cut right through ours at Marysville and entered the bridge just after crossing our west bound rails The bridge. now A,rn down was even then considered unsafe. and was rarely used. the through passenger trains on the Northern Central being run on the east bank of the river to Rockville, then on our tracks to Harrisburg. and then over the Cumberland Valley bridge to their own road again Well as drew near Marysville kept my eye on the other train. which l could see dis tinctly. thinking that we would let it have good start, so as not to get blocked when we crossed the river We were not running more than twenty five miles an hour. and when finally the Northern Central train was hidden by the long covered bridge 1 concluded she would reach Rockville before we got to the west bank of the river

BATTLING WITH SNOWBALLS.

Struggle Between the Girl Sophs and
 Freshies of Smith College.
 Smith college girls have just had . novel experience. It was a snowball battle between the ''sophs" and fresh. ies," and the former won after a spirited fight. The sophs were led by Capt. Wilcox and the freshies by Capt. Gain The young ladies were dressed in their gym" suits, and were prepared for a regular rough and tumble racket. The signal for the commencement of hos tilities was given by the gymnasium in- structor, Miss Adams, and the fun be- gan. Capt. Wilcox's shot hit daring freshman in the front rank directly on the right ear.
 A cheer went up from the fort, and the old gold banner was waved aloft; but one shot does not win a battle The freshmen had marched upon the cam pus with a determination to win the fort, and the flag if they could, in the half hour allotted to the battle. The most reckless sallied up. to the very walls Here they met perfect volley of grapeshot, from which all but one tall, handsome brunette flinched.
 She threw three balls inside the fort at three of the largest sophomores with unerring aim. One hit a set of daz- zling white teeth, another would have pierced the heart had it been bullet, but before the third had taken effect there was a sophomore cheer A bold sortie had been made, and sophomores were mauling the daring besieger, but for a moment only. The freshmen rushed back like a drove of prairie ponies wildly charging. Then began a hand to hand encounter which mud dled the amateurs with kodaks awfully. It was muscle, and nothing else.
 "Why, those horrid things actually threw me down and walked on me, /" said one of the sophomore ieutenants indignantly.
 The cascades of hair came tumbling down like Humpty Dumpty, and one warriors eye had dismal hue There was some ''tackling" that would have done credit to football at Jarvis field The Chicago and Pennsylvania re- cruits distinguished themselves by spe- cial acts of bravery. Again and again did the crimson freshmen enter the fort, until it looked as though they would rout the gold utterly, but the plucky sophs succeeded in driving back the invaders at every onslaught. When the bugle blew at the end the sopho- mores held the fort, with their golden banner still floating.-Cor. New York Sun,
