On the inside OF barn door. in village on
the coast Of Maine. there Is still 70 be seen a
row Of tacks In the form OF q fish. says the New
York Tribune. The Jacks we're placed there
many years ago. but the villagers have not yet
ceased 70 tell a story connected with them
Seth GiddinEs, who drove the tscks in the door,
is now an old man, and has long been deacon
in the Congregational church He long ago
learned to hear the story in silence. and, how
ever uprOarlOus the laughter, the only change IN
his countenance is a look of penitence that
comes into his benevolent face.
Mrs. Giddings in her younger days was excep-
tionally fond Of what she called green truck y
Her husband had a garden which extended to
within few hundred feet of the beach, and in
it he was accustomed to raise large variety Of
vegetables. One thing. however. caused him
great annoyance. No sooner were his tenderest
plants above the ground than they we're either
eaten or broken off. No amount of vigilance
on his part could detect the culprit- So much
IS local history. From this point Seth Giddings
himself first told the story.
II finally come 10 the conclusion. so he told
his nelghbOrs, that I'd Jest set a trap for the
cdtter. The Maxwell boys. that lived next
door. said that they was sure that would ketch
the Varmint. So got an old woodchuck trap
and sot it one night right amongst my cabbages,
about ten rods back from the beach.

look at that trap pretty nigh fell down in my
tracks. There was the biggest Goldfish that
ever see, ketched slick as a whistle! / sup
pose that ere fish had been climbin' out o. the
ocean every night Jest to make a feast o. my
green things. The Maxwell boys they came
out, and they found track in the earth where
that there fish had crewled out o. the water,
gone gallivantin' round among the corn and
cabbages, and finally landed him plum in the
trap l skinned the thief and nailed the hide
up, and there ye can see it fer yerself."
The Goldfish skin remained on the barn door
several weeks. Then the deacon went to the
barn one day with a firm and rapid stride. tore
the skin from the door, kicked iJ out into the
barn yard and ground it into the earth with his
heel. That was when he learned that the Max
well boy had put the Goldfish in the trap. 1t is
said, too, that when the deacon had ground the
skin into the earth he uttered one bad word. He
repented instantly. and by listening to the story
in silence he has since been doing penance for
the one great sin of his life

Gen. Ayers Denial.

Gen. Alger promptly and emphatically
denies the statement of the New York Sun
that he was dishonorably discharged from
the army. The story that he tells Of the
way the report came to get abroad that he
was dishonorably discharged is a rather re-
markable one, and is calculated to lessen
the respect entertained for the memory of
Gen. Custer. According to this story
Gen. Custer had a brother whom he
wanted Gen. Alger to appoint lieutenant
in one Of the companies Of his regiment.
Gen. Alger refused to comply with Gen.
Clusters request for the reason that there
were many men in his command who had
earned promotion, and who were entitled to
have any position that might become
vacant Gen. Custer was very angry and
said to Gen. Alger he would make him
regret refusing the request.
In 1864 Gen. Alger being too ill to attend
to his duties, went to the hospital at An
napolis, Md, and after remaining there few
days was detailed on a court-martial at W ash
ington. Not liking court-martial service
he resigned. Twenty-four years afterward
the fact was brought to his attention that
the war department records showed that be
had been dishOnorably discharged, on the
recommendation Of Gen. Custer, for leav-
ing his command without permission. 1t
seems that Gen. Custer had done what he
could to carry out his threat to make Gen.
Alger regret refusing the formers request
in behah of his brother
II this story Of Gen. AlRer's is true, It
shows that Gen. Custer was capable of do
ing very mean action on a very slight
pretext. But there is a chance that Gen.
Custer did not know the circumstances
under which Gen. Alger left his command.
1t is rather remarkable, however, that Gen.
Alger did not have tho record In the war
department corrected when the damaging
error was first brought to his attention.

died at Nice, was, as is generally known, first
betrothed TO Princess Dagmar of Denmark
On his death bed he left his brother, the present

his place in the heart of the princess Tee
Grand Duke Alexander, however, was a very
bashful lover and had not the courage to carry
out his dying brothers last wish, till one day
the Grand Duke Vladimir said to him: IF you
will not fulfill the wish of our dead Nicholas

Alexander set off for Copenhagen, and one day
being alone with the Princess Dagmar, he
handed her. tremblingly, the letter of his
brother. When the princess read it she
