His Audience.

A pretty story, which has, moreover,
the merit of being true, is told of GER
tain professional singer. He had beau
tiful tenor voice, of which he was apt to
take the best of care, so that when he
was crossing the Atlantic one summer
with a party of friends, they were not
surprised to find that he disappeared
from view every evening at just about
the same time
Afraid of the night air, said one.
with slight smile.
Afraid we'll ask him to sing, prob
ably" said another. but no one ques-
toned him, as he was known to be quite
immovable from his own way.
But when the last night on board
came. delegation descended to his
stateroom to beg for song or two, and
discovered that he was not there. They
looked for him in vain, until at last the
captain, who had evidently kept the
secret as long as he could, said, pointing
IN the direction of the engine room;
Il think you'll find him down there;
that's where he's gone every evening
Sure enough, when the delegation ar
rived at the engine room, they heard the
sound of guitar and voice, and there,
lolling against the wall, was the recreant
tenor. singing his best for the delight Of
the stokers, whom he had entertained
in this way for more than an hour every
evening during the voyage. - Youths

A reiepathio Coincidence.

/ had as a guest in my residence in
Jamaica a lady of unusual intelligence,
who was very intimate with and much
attached TO Mrs. Beecher Stowe. They
frequently correspondent. She had a
dream in which Mrs. Stowe seemed to
be occupied, singularly enough, in dig
ging the ground, and she inquired II
there was any foundation for this. From
the reply she learned that Mrs. Stowe
had been shortly before in Scotland on
visit to the Duke Of Argyle, and had
been asked to plant a tree as memorial
Of her visit ON leaving. Here 1t is proba-
Bile that, besides the general sympathy
between the parties concerned, there
was some special thought, on Mrs
Stoves part, Of the friend who dreamed
of her act, connected in time either with
the actual handling of the spade or with
the remembrance of her strange occupa
ton. Few people would suppose such :
coincidence to be purely accidental, unless
from the apparent impossibility for &C
counting for it otherwise. -Blackwoodl

WEDNESDAY. MARCH Is. 1892


The ironciad Merrimac which har-
assed the Union feet, and was herself
finally disabled by the Monitor, made
during her first unquestionable triumphs
a victim of the frigate Congress After
the fight had continued for some time,
the MerTimac was SO fortunate as to take
sucha position relative to her enemy
that the destruction Of the Congress be-
came only question of moments.
Her commander was slain, she had
been repeatedly set on fire, and her decks
were covered with dead and wounded.
She was accordingly run ashore, and
there hoisted the white flag.
The Merrimac now sent alongside two
Tugs to take possession and remove the
prisoners, but these were driven back bv
sharp firing from the shore.
General Mansfield had directed the
Twentieth Indiana to deploy along the
beach, behind sand ridge, and two
guns were wheeled into position to pre-
vent the enemy's making away with its
prize.
Captain Reed, who was as good law
yer as soldier, raised question of mill
tary law.
''Since the ship has surrendered, !" said
he, has not the enemy the right to take
possession of herr"
Then General Mansfield uttered one
of the shortest and most conclusive opin.
ions on record.
Il know the old ship has surrendered, =
said he. ssbut we hayef1,tn
That settled it. Unable to take DOS
session of the prize, the Merrimac opened
upon her with incendiary fire and then
withdrew. The remnant of the Union
crew was brought on shore. and that
night. when the fire had reached her
magazine, the Congress blew up. That
lightning decision had at least saved her
crew. = Youths Companion.

NEGROs AT THE CAPITOL

The leading negroes of the capitol
have their own society, and the other
negroes are justly proud of them. They
live in good houses, they have comforta-
bic incomes, some of them ride in their
carriages, their women folks have their
regular reception days, and dress them
selves in silks and satins, often employ
ing the dressmakers of their race who
cut and sew for their white neighbors.
They have their churches, modest and
Observation-Disclosures, Baptist and Ro-
man Catholic chiefly-and they like
good loud preaching, hearty singing and
much splendor. These churches are
sources of constant enjoyment, and theo-
logical discussion is an OVERLOOKING we'll
spring of pleasure to the negro man OF
| woman,
Like the conventional New Highlander,
the life of many of the negroes of Wash
| ington centres around the Church. The
preacher is not always respected for
himself, but his gifts of speech and pow
er OF lungs are objects of great admira-
ton. AS for the church buildings, they
are always spoken of affectiOnately as
"she, even when they are designated by
mems names.
Flows de John Wesley been a gittin'
on sence rs ben away?n asked one old
woman of another.
"Oh, she don got her old wooden front
torn out, and don got herself a new
brick front"
"An' what's John Wesley End ben a.
dom wifi herse'f?''
''She done got herself painted red"
1t Will not be many years before the
negro shanties in the heart of the city
will disappear. They are already giving
way to the march of wealth and splendor.
In the northwestern part of the town,
| small lanes dart suddenly away from
broad avenues, and out of the rear
windows of fine houses there are visions
of small wooden dwellings, some of
them novels and some of them neat with
paint and whitewash. Out of the lanes
come trim girls with baskets containing
some ones washing, or tumultuous
small children, or the man who has
made himself famous by crying through
the streets: Ppm talkin' bout de billed
crabs" A few modest homes of the
thriftier negroes linger in the fashiona-
bic thOroughfares of Massachusetts,
avenue and Sixteenth street. Since
fashion made its entrance into this quar-
ter of the city, the black men who were
fortunate enough to purchase property
there have held on to it with the tenacity
of faith that fate has determined that
they shall be as rich as the richest So
they will not sell until they are COM
PEELED by the stress of circumstances,
which means, in this instance, the in
crease of taxes. Even then there are
difficulties in the way, for the negroes
are happy-g o-lucky people who have
little knowledge of the forms of law, so
that the property descends and passes
from hand to hand without much re-
gard to the law governing the transfer
of land. Consequently titles are not al
ways good, and the prudent white man
who is DESTROYS of building what the
newspapers call ''palatial residence"
does not like to invest his money in a
piece of ground which, preadventure,
may eventually turn out to belong to
some one else than his grantor.-Ha

Gas you gentlemen who fought on the
other side are no doubt aware" said the
handsome ex-Confederate Colonel, with
a smile, 1--WE rebels held the battlefield
of Chickamauga.
81 was Captain at this time, and for
the first and only time in my military
career l found myself detailed to bury
the dead. If none of you have ever had
this work to do you can form no idea of
its appalling horrors.
at is said that familiarity breeds con-
tempt but an eternity of familiarity
could never make me Indifferent to the
sickening, heartrending sights of
battlefield after the struggle is over and
one looks at the many poStured dead in
cold blood.
''Of course there were no collins, not
even for our own boys, who covered the
ground by hundreds. We dug separate
trenches for the men in blue and gray,
laying them side by side in long, stark
rows, and then covering them up.
"But that day we buried one young
Yankee by himself, and this is how it
was:
'We were moving over the ground
along the slope so heroically held by
ThOmas's men, when one of the detail
called me to him.
HE was bending over handsome
youth in blue, whose yellow head rested
on his arm as if he were asleep.
"'What is it?' asked of the man.
"Just look at that, Captain, he said.
81 knelt down and found that the
poor fellows left arm had been torn off
by shell. He evidently felt that the
end had come, and realized perhaps that
there was nothing on his person by which
he could be identified With a splinter
of wood, evidently dipped in his own
hearts blood, he managed to scrawl on
the stock of his gun the words, Il am
Sam. The last word was no doubt
meant for Samuel, and intended to be
followed by his full address, but death
came before he could finish it.
1.-THE whole thing was so touching, so
suggestive, that myself and men were
affected as if we had taken sudden colds,
and let me say we were familiar with
death.
" Il reckon, Captain, said one of the
men, and he evidently voiced the senti-
ment of most of his comrades, that we'd
better give the poor Teller restin' place
by hisser.'
81 coughed my consent, and under the
oak at the foot Of which he lay we made
him a separate grave. The soldiers
covered it tenderly up and | cut in the
bark all we knew of the poor fellow,
with the date of his death:
"'I am Sam, a Federal soldier;
killed at Chickamauga, Sept. Goth, 49,"

A FOOLISH OLD HEN.

Once there was cross, fussy, squawk-
ing Old Hen.
She took a Contract to hatch some
Eggs.
She sat on the Eggs for two Weeks, and
then, becoming Dissatisfied, she left her
Nest and Walked Out.
And some OF the other Hens said
"What is the Matter with you? Why
don't you go ahead with your Hatch
ing?"
And the Old Hen said II have been
sitting on those Eggs two whole Weeks
and haven't got Chicken yet. There
is no Sense in my Spending another
Week on that Nest just because tits Gus
tom. am going to quit"
And they said: "Then some other Hen
that is ready to set must take those Eggs
and hatch them out"
"If any other Hen tries to hatch out
those Eggs" replied the Old Hen, furi-
ously, 81 will pick her Eyes out! The
Eggs are mine!'
"Have you not left your nest?"
"Of course l have"
''Are you going back to it?''
mot unless l can have the Assurance
that the Eggs will hatch right away"
Then why can't some Hen that is out
of job go and take the Nest?"
Because it would be infamous to step
in and deprive me of the Benefit of my
two weeks work. Let any Hen try it if
sine Daresr'
And several Hens that had just taken
Contracts to Hatch out Eggs in other
Nests got up and Walked Out because
they Sympathized with the Dissatisfied
Old Hen.
And while they ran about the back
yard cackling and making great Noise
and driving out the Irregular Hens that
were willing to take the Nests off their
Hands and carry out the contracts, 10,
