WAR "REMINISCENCES.
GRANT AND THE CHILD.


AN INCIDENT NEAR APPoMATrox
The leader OF our armies rode
Across the Southern plain,
Around his stan OF bearded men ,l., t.t., B.
Pressed with ungathered rein.
Before him fed his broken foes,
Behind his columns throng.
Full near the hour OF victory shows
Their hearts have waited long.
Beneath mansions vine-wreathed porch
His chargers step he stayed.
To ask n goblet from tho spring
A moment in the shade.
A little child with eyes OF blue, ...
Came shyly to his knee. U.
"My papa is a soldier, too,
And wears a sword" said he
"He has bright buttons on his coat
He looks almost like you.
Only my papa's coat Is gray,
And yours, mamma calls blue.
81 wish you'd find my papa sir
And send him right away;
And IL you'll say told you to
I'm sure he Will obey"
The soldier raised the childish form
Up TO his martial breast
And on the rosy, pleading face
A tear-wet kiss he pressed.
He saw Ms own far Western home,
Where wife and babies dwelt;
More stern than his must be the heart
Such vision would not melt.
"Perhaps, my child" he slowly saiA>
"Your father may see,
And may God grant me my desire
To send him safe to thee"
o. soldiers OF the Blue, the Gray.
Whom hostile weapons part,
The pleading OF that little child
Made one each fathers heart.
And never will the simple tale
From memory's pages cease,
And hearts shall melt as words recall
The soldiers kiss OF peace.

The brusque and fussy i'm
pulse of these days of false
impression would rate down
all as worthless because one
is unworthy.
AS if there we're no notes
in sunbeams
Or comets among stars
Or cataracts in peaceful
rivers !
Because one remedy pro-
fesses to do what it never
was adapted to do, are all
remedies worthless?
Because one doctor lets his
patient die, are all humbugs?
1t requires a fine eye and
a finer brain to discriminate
TO draw the differential line.
"They say" that DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery and
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-

HEAVEN IN THE STARS.
Curious Faith of the Ansairee-They Be-
leve in a Previous Existence.

Curious Faith of the Ansairee-They Be
lieve in Previous Existence.
The belief in metaphysics is very Gu
rious among the Ansairee. Ordinary
Mussulmans, they say, pass into jack
ais after death; and it is common say
ing among them, when the jackals howl
at night, Listen to the Mussulmans
calling to prayer" Bad men after
death have to walk in low envelopes"
as their expression goes, making use of
the Arabic word "kamees' for the en-
velope Of the body, which exists among
us in the word 'chemise" For what
reason | know not, Christian doctors
are supposed to go into very low envel-
opes indeed, and become swine when
this life is over. Jewish rabbis become
apes, and SO forth, writes traveller.
The stars, they say, are envelopes of
light the destination Of the great and
/ good Ansairee who have distinguished
themselves in this life by their charity
and integrity; and there are $4,000 Of
them who form the greater light
world" or the inhabitants of the sew
cnth Heaven who surround Ali, and are
perpetually Illuminated by his pres
ence.
Most Ansairee pretend to a knowl-
edge of what they did in a former exist
encc whether as animals or men; and
at Tarsus il is II common theory
amongst them that the Frankish trav-
elers, intent on archaeological research,
come to look for treasures which they
remember to have seen in these spots
during a former existence.
A man, they say, who has not acted
rightly in this life may be punished in
the next existence by being born
woman, and woman who does her
duty in this life may be rewarded in
theneXt by being born man. Woman
kind is considered by them a sort Of
probationary step between the animal
world and the lords Of creation, and
their women are treated by them with
great contempt and never permitted TO
participate in the sacred mysteries of re-
ligion,
One OF the most curious features of
the Ansairec faith is their belief in
Trinity: ALI the Father; Mahomet, the
Son, and Salm0n el Fari, the Holy
Ghost. Ali, the Father became man
through his veil or representative, Ma
homet; and Mahomet appointed Salman
TO supcrintend the affairs of this world
after his return to his fathers kingdom.
This mystery Of Trinity Is the second
item in the Ansairee religion, and Ia
universally believed in by all the four
sects; it is called "the mystery of
the A. NJ. S." from the initial let.
ters Of the three individuals Of their
Trinity.
An Ansairee-or u Nasari, as their
sect IL more commonly called In the
north--when taking an oath, will al.
ways swear by his faith In the mys-
terry Of Ain, Min, SIM" and one of the
most common forms Of prayer among
them Is 10 say The words "Ain, Min,
Sim" 800 times IN succession, --Cornhill

The Head and Heart.

"Take yer head with yer" says oil Uncle Joe,
'Take yer head with yer and heed it;
Take yer head with yer wherever ye go,
Take your head with yer, yen need it.
"Take yer heart with yer" says OIL Uncle Joe,
Take yer heart with yer an heed 1t;
Take yer heart with yer, wherever ye go,
Take yer heart with yer, yen need it.
LET yer head and yer heart talk over the
thing,
An arger the case till they've tried it,
While you sit in style like judge or king,
An wen they've stopped jawin', decide it."

John Rong and His Dog.

John Rong was vicious from his birth,
AS mean a man as lived on EARTH
His dog, whose days were sad and grim,
Led poor life, following him.
John Rong chose ugliness and strife,
And often he abused his wife;
The dog was kind, the wife would tell,
He served her faithfully and well.
John Rong his children's patience tired,
They feared, they suffered and they died
The dog, who could not take their part,
Gave the poor kindness Of his heart.
John Rong in every vice was seen,
And stained his life with all thiags meal
The dog no wicked thing did do;
His thought was honest kind and true.
John Rong walked out when so inclined,
Coneocting mischief in his mind.
The dog, his masters will to do,
With fear and trembling followed too.
John Rong, when full OF crazy grog,
With club and stones attacked the dog.
The dog-poor creature-yelped and cried
And bleeding, broken, crushed, he died
When John Rong shall Gods justice see,
Then tell nowhere shall John Rong bel
Tell me what comes from Heaven above
TO him who murders perfect lover
Thou dog, dear dog teach US that part,
To be, like thee, a faithful heart,
Alike to love and sorrow true;
Tell me, what more can angels dof
And one of these lives after death?
And one shall perish with his breathf
Which lives beyond the earthly clog,
The devilish man or angel deg.

Chris Nicholas Sought to Escape the Law
but Failed.

Chris Nicholas Sought to Escape the Law
but Failed.
The Supreme Court yesterday rendered a
decision refusing the application of Chris
topher Nicholas for writ of haoeas corpus.
On April 9Th Nicholas was examined in the
Police Court OF this city on a charge nf
larc eny. and il was found that he had stolen
property exceeding $500 in value and. as
result, he was regularly committed on a
charge of grand larceny.
An information charging him with grand
larceny was then filed i'll the Superior Court.
He was tried by jury, which failed to
agree and was discharged. After the jury
had been discharged the District Attorney,
by direction of the Court dismissed the in
formation for larceny ana, without bringing
Nicholas before a committing magistrate for
new examination, filed new Information
charging him with embeZZlement
Upon this state of affairs Nicholas con-
tended that his constitutional rights had
been violated by the fling of an informd-
ton without previous examination and con-
mitment upon the charge set forth in the ill.,
formation.
But it did not appear so TO the Supreme
Court, which held that although Nicholas
had been examined upon a charge which
the committing magistrate considered lar
ceny it might well be that the dispositions
proved enlightenment; and if the commit
ting magistrate had given the crime
wrong designation in his order of commit
ment that would not prevent the District
Attorney from charging 1t correctly in his
information. On the contrary it would be
his duty to do so.
