Almost n Panic.

The Confederates had left big forest
IRE burning somewhere within half mile
o. u, says the historian of the Forty-third
Massachusetts regiment. 1t illuminated
the forest all around with dim light and
we were near enough to hear its constant
dull, furnacelike roar
My six companions were supposed to be
asleep in a small hut close to me-the re-
serve post. was in a sitting posture out
SIDE doing, but conscious. In an instant
was put upon my feet, wide awake, by
one of the most tremendous crashes l ever
heard. Some giant of the forest had gone
down, and in its fall had dragged down an
acre or Two of trees with it.
| comprehended the state of the case at
once, and so of course was not thrown off
my balance; but not my companions,
all of whom were naturally cool and brave
men l judge that they were soundly
asleep, but in a state of mental tension
from their recent experiences, especially in
blowing up some Confederate earthworks.
At any rate they were for an instant or
two scared out of their wits. Only once in
my life had seen mems hair actually rise
on their heads and their eyes look like sau-
GERS, and that was in circumstances of en-
treme danger on board ship; but l saw it
now.
The sight was ludicrous in the highest
degree, and yet it WAS fearful. FOR few
seconds l thought they would get away
from me and go back to camp on the dead
run without their guns; but the tones of
my voice, as much rs anything could say
in such situation soon Gained them, and
then the laughter was as uncomfortable as
the terror had been.
What a sight it must be to see a brave
regiment stampeded in the night in q
panic! This happened TO regiments in both
armies, from less impressive causes than
this instance would have furnished

QUINCY Herald: The movement in
favor of senatorial elections by popular
vote is gaining increased popular momen,
tum. II is favored by men of all parties
Senator Palmer stands as representa-
tive Of the principle. He made his fight
before the people snd won popular ma
jority and prestige which enabled him
10 hold the vote of his party till victory
was at last attained. The opportunity
for deals and trades, ard the instances
of notorious corruption which belong to
the present system, speak loudly for a
change which would put these great legis-
lstive officers under the direct control Of
the popular vote.

Fraud in Coffee Grinding.

Ii Is in the grinding of coffee that the
greatest opportunities for fraud occur, for
here there Is a chance to mix in any GUAM
tity of cheap substances, that are ground
in so that the grains of the product are all
of the same shape and color The purchaser
therefore has absolutely no protection short
of chemical or nieroscopical analysis. TIE
compound takes on the aroma of whatever
coffee is in it. aud very few persons will
take the trouble to protect themselves from
such imposition. New York sun.

one of the leading Massachusetts
wooden manufacturers in the wool con-
sumers' association has this to say about
hr. Springer's free wool bill:
Free wool, with the present advalorem
rates upon goods, would be great gain
to wooden manufacturers; snd, as on
the wooden schedule. free wool brings q
very large reduction in the duties on
goods. with largely reduced cost on many
wooden goods, the bill for free wool
would benefit everybody. Free raw ma
terisl for wooden manufacturers also
means a greater use of wool for so-cslled
wooden goods; mills running upon "all
wool goods" so called, are now in many
instances using no wool at all, but some
waste or shoddy. and mostly cotton.

A New Dish,

A tramp who was eating dinner in
the kitchen of house where the lady
herself waited on him accidentally drop
ped his plate, breaking it into pieces.
He sent for the mistress of the house, to
whom he said:
Madam, forgive me, / am a great
iconoclast."
She was pleased with the word, which
was new to her, and readily excused him.
The next day she was calling on a
friend when she remarked with much
Importance:
1--WE had an iconoclast for dinner YES
terday. Did you ever see one?"
sob, yes" answered her friend sweet
ly, 1--WE often have them for dinner, and
] am very fond of them"
Then the two dear innocents smiled
blandly at each other.-Detroit Free
