How Gen. Hooker Got His Charger.

that he was couiscated horse. and
refused to give him up. Then the
owner went TO Secretary Stanton for

a loyal man, aud came back to camp
with the order from Stanton to Stckies

How Mail Cars arc Manned.

Nearly every railroad in the United
States carries. at least once day, one
or more men whose business it is to
receive. sort. and deliver the mail
gathered q" the towns along or near
that road.
If there is little work TO be done, one
man does it alone, in small room
built in part of the baggage-car
or smoking-car. a. the business in
creases, two or more men work to-
gelher, having a whole car for their
accommodation. This car is drawn
directly behind the engine, so that
there shall be no occasion for any pass
ing through it. With still more BUSH
ness. between the large cities, two or
more cars are run; until between New
York aud Chicago we have a whole
train run exclusively for mail service,
made up of five ears aud worked by
twenty men. line of railroad be-
tween two cities, used in this way, for

country taking their names from the

length, ranging from twenty miles to

tremely long runs, with the except on
OF the New York aud Chicago, aro
found only in the West, where there
are great distances between the cities.
On such run there will be two or
more men. one crew sleeping while

HOW THE BEAR FOOLED Mr.. GREENE.
An Ex-Cowboy Given a Surprise by =
Bear He Had Iassoed.

Once a year a party of crack shots
start from Hawatha for a hunt in the
wilds Of Colorado One Of the party
at one time was George Greene, an ex-
pert with lariat. aud although a rich,
midde-aged ekbuyer at Lincoln, he
has never lost a chance to test his skill
with his favorite weapon. He was
! quick with a rifle, but when he began
an attack with lariat he disdained to
take advantage Of his foe with powder
and BALL Mr.. Greene developed his
wonderful skill by long service on
ranches as a cowboy.
The hunting party was mounted one
morning early for a day in the saddle,
when ar. Greene saw a large bear
making tracks across a clearing for the
woods He was master horseman.
and his horse was not unlike him, being
well bred and fearless. With cow
boy yell he clapped his spurs to his
'partner" and away they went like
mad to head bruin off. and succeeded
in doing so. Swish-sh went the lariat
through the air. The horse snorted
set back, and the astouished bear was
roughly ierked into a standing posi-
ton. with a taut lasso about his neck
and in under the fore paw. Then
there was a wild scuflle. and though
the brute pulled and danced about,
the trembling horse held him tight.
After few seconds the bear quit try.
ing to get away, and thoughtfully
looked matters over He glanced along
the rope, and saw Mr.. Greene griuning
4 L.. a. a.
of it. His rage at it all was terrible to
see. Mr.. Greene's nerve was beyond
anything he had ever thought OF.
Growing fiercely he proved himself
equal to the emergency. Reaching out
one paw after another, as "a sailor
would, he rapidly pulled horse and man
toward him. His great strength made
the task easy for him and they were his
"meat," instead OF him being theirs.
The horse was struggling now, and the
change in the program was anything
but satisfactory to Mr.. Greene. Quick
ly he made up his mind that he must
cut the lariat. Out came the knife
from the sheath at his side, the throng
was in two, over fell the bear, and, be-
fore he could attend to business again
at the old stand. Mr.. Greene's gallant
horse got both out OF his reach.
Bruin trotted on to his death. every
hunter in the party who had seen the
fup pouring bullet into his body.
To Mr.. Greene's credit he told them
he should have liked to have seen the
"bar' 90 free; it deserved only to die,
if need be. with an equal chance for
life with its assailaut.- Kansas City

A British Pompeii has just been dis
covered near Reading 10 Berkshire on
the great Strathfeldsay estate of the
duke Of Wellington, says a London
dispatch of the Dunlop cable company.
II is true city. not mere camp, and
wnen fully excavated will throw light
upon the domestic life of our remote
ancestors Of more than one thousand
years ago. The city now being laid
bare is the Ottoman Silchester.
The whole area has been free from all
building operations ever since tie
Roman occupation of Britain. in fact.
tie soil is virgin. having been pasture
land for centuries. The excavation
committee has already succeeded in
revealing to the nineteenth century
eyes lie IN British city that had a
long existence in a day Of which his
tory is almost silent. The task of ex-
cavation is "A tremendous one, but the
work is being prosecuted as funds
come in.
An exhibition will be opened at the
Burlington House. Piccadily, within a
few days which will present features
of extraordinary interest. On the
walls will be hung huge plan of the
buried city, marking whereabouts the
streets. walls, gates. houses, baths,
temples, forum and basilica stood. The
excavations have brought to view the
remains of an important house orua-
mented with mosaic floors and con-
tanning rooms heated by hopocausto
Among the articles to be exhibited are
potsherds, bones. combs. bronze uten-
sis, fragments Of good glass vessels,
pieces OF ironwork. chiefly tools, in-
Guiding carpenters planes. chisels,
axes, hammers, gouges, anyils and
some edged tools, sharp enough, even
after being buried for ten centuries, to
work with now. The city was laid out
with great regularity in squares like
Salisbury and Winchester in medieval
times
Strange feelings are excited by the
sight OF piece of tile upon which a
baby must have troden while the clay
OF which it is formed lay drying in
the brick-maker's yard. The prints
of the little toes are distinct. and the
entire foot is perfectly marked. There
are very fair specimens ofpottery from
coarse celtic ware to delicately nodded
vessels embellished with artistic de-
signs of human and animal figures and
symbolic devices. There are two sets
of human bones, skeletons of imma-
ture infants or dwarfs, as also need
less and other articles of household
use. Among these it is curious to
note key ring and safety pin, with
other toilet and table requisites, much
resembling those in present use, There
