A Patriot.

In 1861 it was decided to organize
the clerks of the treasury department
at Washington to defend the building
and its contents against an anticipa-
ted attack. The following paper was
presented to each emplove to 81 gn.
Il will defend the treasury, under
the orders of the officer in charge of it.

The pledge was not received with
enthusiasm. They all. with one con-
sent. began to make excuses.
There was an epidemic of heart and
nervous diseases, which were always
brought on by any sudden shock.
But one old southerner put them to
shame. He had been in the office hall
y century and belonged to an old Car
oina family. His desk was in the
basement of the treasury. where he
had charge of surrendered ships regis
terS. Few of the other clerks knew
him. for scarcely anyone had occasion
to go to his desk.

A GRATEFUL ALLIGATOR.
Once I:afriendel, She Makes Animal
Visits to Her Eenrfactor.

There is an old man who lives not a
dozen miles from Jacksonville, or the
St. Johns River who has what might
be called an alligator farm He owns
tract of about twelve or. thirteen
acres and il, one part is low marshy
with water. A ditch connects this with
the river.
One spring day the owner Of the
farm while walking near the swamp
heard i: crashing sound in the marsh
grass, and looking over to the centre
saw a large alligator moving around.
he stood still aud watched the saufiaD,
and discovered that it WAS throwing
up mound of mud and grass. After
time. when the heap had assumed Il
shape not unlike that of a hut such as
the Esquimaux are pictured as living
in.the alligator lay on top. The farmer
came 10 the conclusion that she was
laying her eggs. and, not wishing to
disturb her. left.
The next day he visited the place
again, and saw that the mound had
been firmly bedded all around. while
the old gator lay summing herself on a
log. Each day he visited the place

shape of fish anI meat and us the time
went on she got so tame that on Il
certain hour she was on the lockout
and came crawling up to be fed.
One morning he was startled by a
loud believing in the iiro oction of the
swamp. and hastcning over found
things in a high state of excitement.
There. lying in II pool of water. was
the old mother, surrounded by numer-
Gus little aliigatOrs. some OF which
climbe'l upon her back and Ihcn slid
off, seeming TO enjoy the fun Immense

light btamed in her eyes and, after
receiving Il few caresses, She started
off towards the river followed 10y her

Every spring after that the owner of
the place has watched for the old

THE CAUSE FOUND.

The cause of chronic diseases has at
last been discovered.
People have taken "Blood Purifiers |"
and wondered why there was no perma-
nent benefit derived.
DR.. Shoop has taken step in advance
of all others, by giving special study to
the cause of these increasing chronic
diseases.
He has found that certain ne,-res have
entire control over the stomach, liver,
kidneys and all internal organs. When
these nerues are weak, or exhausted, the
stomach will not digest the food, the liver
will become torpid and the whole system
will sink from this laci; Of nerue force.

The Germans were not mark smen,
it must be said. in the last war, though
they won the battles. From German
statistics. 1t appears that 250 bullets
were fired to each Frpnchman struck
in the war of lS10-7l. This was in
part due to the German rifle being i'll
ferior to the Chassepot; but, after
making every allowance, it must be
said that the troops lire without aim

less than "a 900 rifles are said to have

NEARLY FOUR MILES HIGH.
Prof Russell ID II ,:teIy F.xes the AIti
tude of Mount St. Elias.

Prof. Israel G. Russelrs trip to
| Alaska has established finally and in-
conteStibly the claims of Mount ST.
Elias TO be the highest peak in North
America. There are taller mountains
in the world of course. This one
measures somewhere between Is. 600
and 10, 600 feet or pretty nearly four
miles of altitude. But there are peaks
of the Andes in South America which

fuse vegetation. but ii DAYS march in

TO the snow line. There commences
the vast icy plain formed by eternal
rivers of ice flowing southwark from
the mountains ut the north. For two
months the expedition journeyed
through that frozen realm, carrying
cornmeal and bacon for food and oil TO
cheer with lights the Arctic nights.
For six weeks the party Travelled over
the glaciers on the north side of Mount

The highest camp was pitched at 5000
feet above sea level, and from that
point the professor and his men made
tremendous effort to reach the sum-
NIT. After twenty hours of climbing
they got up TO 1900 feet. but the
snow finally drove them back and they
were compelled TO abandon further at
tempts.
The great obstacle to climbing was
always the snow. which fell almost in
cessantly. rendering progress imprac-
ticaJie. AT one time IA snowstorm
came ON when Prof. Russell was alone
at the highest point. and for four en-
tire days lie was cut eff from his COM
panlons. Although the top of Mount
st. Elias was not reached angles were
taken which will determine its altitude
with accuracy when the necessary
computations have been made.

south of Mount ST. las covers !. 900

made by the confluence of four big
glaciers and thousands of little ones.

glacier is from 800 to 900 feet thick.

and surprising thing that l,e saw in the
region described was the reflection of
himself in his climbing clothes mir

Movements are on foot in various
quarters having for their object the
abatement of the smoke and fog nui-
sance. The London fogs which de-
scend upon the town are bad enough,
but are made almost unbearable to the
healthiest and most robust people by
smoke. Some extraordinary facts were
elected at the interview granted on Sun
day by the lord mayor to deputation
from South Wales which wanted to in
troduce anthracite coal fer house pur-
poses. It was shown that the Goa. was
largely used in Paris, Berlin and other
Continental and American cities which
enjoy an atmosphere absolutely pure
compared with London's The deputa-
ton held that anything tending to abate
the fog nuisance should be given fair
trial
Sir John Puleston, who introduced the
deputation, said that there were ZOO, 900
houses in London and 10000 Chin
neys. On cold day about 10000 tons
Of coal were consumed emitting $50
tons of sulphur His argument was that
anthracite coal WAS cleaner and cheaper
if householders could only be made to
understand it. The mayor thought the
deputation made a clear case, not for
trade purposes, but for the public well
fare. and promised his earnest support.
