SHORTY" ANDREWS, who shot Dick
Deegan at RtnayilIe in April, and then
escaped, was arrested at New Albany,
Ind, last week and brought back to
Bridgeport by Marshal Keller. At a
hearing before Squire Howell on Mon
day, he was held for court in the sum of
$1,000 bond on the charge of shooting
with intent to kill, and in default of bail
was brought to Jail in this place. The
evidence at the hearing showed that the
shooting was wholly unproVoked, and
was the result of pure "cussedness."

THE annual memorial sermon to the
G.. A. r. was preached in the Presbyterian
church on Sunday by Rev. DR.. Alexander,
DrummOnd Post attending in a body.
The text was taken from Joshua 23:11,
Take good heed therefore unto your
selves that you love the Lord your God
In the beginning of his discourse the
speaker referred to the grand review of
the army at Washington at the close of
the war, the imposing spectacle, the
mighty host that passed in review, the
multitude numbered by hundreds of
thousands. Where is all that army to-
day? All the Generals are dead. The
ranks are being rapidly thinned. More
rapidly each succeeding year. Soon the
last survivor of the great war of the
Rebellion will have passed away. The
Doctor then pressed upon them the
wisdom of the advice of the great Gen
eral Joshua This was a general order
issued by Joshua to his army. Suppose
all in authority over the q. A. r. to-day
should send out this general order. 1t
would be the grandest order ever issued,
said the speaker We would have a wall
of fire around us and Gods glory in the
midst. Our country is composed of in
dividuals and hear the order individually.
Hear these words from the General of
old. You have by Gods providence
been spared 26 years, while Others around
you have fallen on every hand. May
God long spare you to defend your
country. Many times you suffered de-
feat but in the end was Appomattox.
SO may it be with you in the fight with
the last enemy and may you gain the
victory through Jesus. The entire sermon
was listened to with rapt attention by
the large congregation present.

Gen, Sherma Memory.

Gen. Sherman had a wonderful mem
ory This was illustrated by an Incl
dent that occurred in Philadelphia
three years ago. He was visiting his
daughter, and while sitting at the open
window smoking one midsummer night
he saw the policeman pass, and as the
patrolnan halted moment the general
was noticed to give him a keen glance
and utter an exclamation.
The next evening he told some one
that when the policeman on the beat
passed again to say he wanted to speak
to him. When the officer entered he
Strengthened up and gave Gen. Sher,
man the regular military salute.
"Ah, ha" said the general, II thought
So Now. where was it | saw you be-
fort! Do you know me-"
"Oh, yes, said the bearded patrol
man, II knew you when you were n
lieutenant. | was your drummer in
California,
"IIa. ha. thought 50; and wait a
bit. SO you were that little drummer
boy, and your name-your names
Hutchinson"
Sure enough the general of the
United States army, who had seen
thousands of drunmers. had recog-
nized in passing policeman the drum

the Mexican war. Philadelphia Times.

Wise Words.

The anticipation of evil is the death

of all.

pass it to another.
All virtues are sanctifed or uuhal.
lowed, according to the principle which
dictates them, and will be accepted or
rejected accordingly.
A more glorious victory cannot be
gained over another man than tins, that
when the injury began on his part, the
kindness began on ours
Opportunity is the flower Of time and
as the stalk may remain when the flower
is cut off, 80 time may remain with us
when opportunity is gone.
Mental pleasures never cloy. Unlike
those of the body, they are increased by
repetition, approved of by reflection,
and strengt hened by enjoyment.

1t is good thing to laugh, at any

Read Thoroughly.

Savage I,andor said, in his savage
way, that no person should ever have
more than five books on hand. He
said that when you had read a book
thoroughly y"n had hettcrg give it away,
and that it WAS idle to keep around you
so many monuments Of unfinished read
ing as most men had in the books OF
their libraries. This is straining point,
undoubtedly, and few of us would
say that Landers rule was working
rule in education or life. But what
Lander meant was that it was worth
while for n man to be of with the old
love before he was on with the new.
He meant that it was worth while for
people to finish, and finish thoroughly,
one line of study before they embarked
on another Boston Commonwealth.

THE TWO GREAT MYSTERIES.

We know not what it Is, dear, this sleep 50
deep and still
The folded hands, the awful calm, tho cheek
SO pale and chill,
The lids that will not lift again, though we may
call and call;
The strange wlite solitude Of peace that set
ties over all.
We know not what it means, dear, this desc
late heart pain,
The dread to take our daily way and walk in It
again.
We know not to what sphere the loved who
leave us go,
Nor why we'ro left to wander still, nor why we
do not know.
But this wo know-our loved and lost, if they
should come this day,
Should come and ask us, What il lifcr not one
of us could say.
Life ia d mystery as deep as death can ever be;
Yet, oh, how sweet it is to us, this life wc live
and sec!
Then might they say, those vanished ones, md
blessed is the thought
So death is sweet to us. beloved, though we may
tell you naught.
We may not toll it to the quick, this mystery
of death;
Ye may not tell it if 20 would, the mystery OF
breath.
The child that enters life comesnot with knowl-
edge or intent;
So those who enter death must go US little chill
dren sent
Nothing IN known, but believe that God Is
Ovcrhead;
And as life is to tho living, so death is to the
dead.

IsraAking the News Gently.

Once upon time dear woman OF
my acquaintance was Frustrated by
many cares, so that her physicians
feared heart failure In order that
she might be spared any sudden shock
the household was warned never to be
