What One Man Saw in One Day.

Il saw three very curious things
yesterday; remarkable, they were.
Coming in on suburban train sat
down behind women as black as ink
She was a full blooded negro, and her
hair was as straight as yours or mine
and as soft as velvet. | don't think
there is another such case in the world.
walking up Broadway later on l saw
an electric wire catch fire and burn in
twain, the pieces falling to the ground
There were no cross wires nor any wire
nor anything within ten feet of it when
it caught" He rested awhile.
"Say! Ahem! When | was eating
supper last night | found a worm-a
black, shaggy worm an inch long-in a
fresh egg. You see l have my eggs
served to me in the shell and eat them
with a spoon from the shell. AS | dug
down into the yolk of one brought me at
fashionable restaurant saw something
black in the center, and pulling it out
discovered what | have told you. The
egg was sound as dollar. The way
figure it out is that an old hen swal-
lowed a worm just before the egg began
to form and the worm got tangled up in
the machinery and got stuck. Well,
must be going. Good day. Louis

Fear Before the Fight.

Testimony differs as to the feeling Of
the soldier on going into fight, and the
many experiences related by Grand
Army men to their always willing lis
teners show that in their war histories
there was no uniformity of either fear
or daring The major of a New Hamp-
shire regiment said: Il always felt
timid when the shot began to reach us,
but as soon as we got into action | was
carried away by excitement. | am not
usually a profane man, and | have no
recollection of talking roughly to my
troops, yet a good many of them have
assured me that all through fight |
would swear like-well, like trooper"
Another man, a colonel, said: cts
all nonsense to say that man doesn't feel
afraid in the beginning of fight and all
through it. OF course he does. He has
reason. Sherman said of General Sum-
ner that he was the only man who grew
holder as he grew older, but the only
man | ever saw who really seemed to
want to fight, and to enjoy it after he
was in it, was Custer. New York Sun.

The Truth Worked.

One of the members Of the regiment
told a story of Honest Captain Wood "
The incident occurred in very cold
weather, and at an important crisis.
AT nighttime" said the narrator,
when we pickets arrived at the out
posts Captain Wood said, 1T is too severe
for the men to face this storm all night.
There was small house close by, and
the captain directed that we should build
fire in it and shelter ourselves as best
we might.
I'VE did so, and weary with march
ing and lulled by the warmth we all fell
fast asleep When the officer Of the
grand rounds came our way he found a
regular Sleepy Hollow.
"Of course we were reported, and in
the morning we were summoned to head
quarters. Naturally we were terribly
frightened, for sleeping on picket is a
serious offense.
1--WE were ushered into General Will
sons tent. He sternly repeated the
charge. Had we been guilty of sleeping
on our posts? We had. 1t would have
DcCh uSclCSS w dGCChipt any VApioiioeiOh,
but Captain Wood, who was present, an
ticipated any that we might have at
tempted.
General he said, the blame does
not rest upon these men. l am response
BILE for it all. | gave them orders to
take shelter in that house and build a
fire there, and | am to blame. They
would not have been asleep but for me. ,
"'How long have you been in the serv-
ice, sir?' asked the general sternly.
GA few months, general.
81 thought so. If you had been here
longer you would have come up here
full of excuses and ready to shift the
blame upon any one at hand. You can
go. Your honesty has saved you. ~

Tetherball is a new game of Eng.

a few feet of lawn or courtyard. A
post eight feet high is set up, and to
this is attached a cord having at its end
a ball The space of the grounds may
influence somewhat the length of the
string, which should be, however, not
less than eight nor more than ten feet
long. The ball is set in rotary motion,

Naked, where some royal tree
Powdered all the spaces
With wan sunlight and quaint shade

Through the maze of myrtle,

Hest infancy. As we grew up we were

he arrived in England, where we were

ANARCHY REIGNS

Supreme In the Mining Regions OF East
Tennessee - Troops Surrender and the
Miners Are In Possession at An Points.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Aug. ls.-Anarchy
reigns supreme in the mining regions
north of this city. Excitement here is
intense and is heighten ed by the lack
Of definite information from the scene
of the trouble, the wires having been
cut The mob is in possession of the
property of the East Tennessee railroad
In the neighborhood of Coal Creek and
Oliver Springs They have cut the
wires in numerous places, torn up the
tracks in every direction and captured
every locomotive in the mining region.
At late hour Tuesday night over one
thousand miners captured three loco
motives and several empty coal cars at
Coal Creek and forced the engineers to
take them 10 Oliver Springs, where
about ninety-five convicts were en-
ployed in the mines of the Cumberland
Coal Company.
They arrived at Oliver about o'clock
Wednesday morning. Att o'clock they
assaulted the stockade ana lively bat
tie ensued. The stoclkade was defended
by fifty picked guards and a company
of thirty-eight militiamen. Two COM
panies of national guards en- route from
Chattanooga via Hartman, were COM
pelled to take side track few miles
from Oliver on account Of displaced
rails Hundreds Of shots were ex-
changed, but strange TO say no one was
injured. The guards and militiamen,
seeing that 1t was useless TO combat q
force Of 1000 infuriated and determined
men, quietly surrendered. The con-
victs, guards and soldiers were loaded
on train of fat cars and the engineer,
at the point of Winchester rifle, was
compelled to pull the train out in the
direction Of Knoxville. The stoclSade
was then burned TO the ground.

THREE FATALITIES

At "A Fire on Long Island sound-A Million
aire Drops Dead From Excitement and
Two Mon Are Burned to Death.
MAMARoYEcK, n. Y, Aug. ls.-A fire
occurred on the Sound shore at this
place at an early hour Wednesday morn
Ing that resulted in the death of million
aire Jabez A. Bostwick and his coach
man and footman. The fire broke out
IN the stables Of Mr. Bos twick, which
adjoined his summer residence on ORR
entail Point, overlooking the sound,
short distance from this village. The
flames communicated 10 the stables Of
Mr.. Constable, OF Arm old, Constable &
Co, the well-known New York dry
goods firm, which were next TO those Of
Mr.. Bostwick.
Soon after the fire broke out Mr..
Bostwick, who was at his residence,
hurried out on the piazza, laboring un-
der great excitement He had been in
III health for some time and seemed
anxious TO take part in extinguishing
the flames, for he shouted few orders,
then suddenly clasped his hand TO his
heart and sank down unconscious
Members OF his family carried him in
side, where he gave a convulsive gasp
and fell back dead
After hard work the fremen got the
fire under control. Then IL was discov-
cred that Bostwicl's coachm an and foot
man were missing. Their hIackened
and charred bodies were found among
the ruins II is supposed that the fire
was started by either of the two men
carelessly smoking or handling matches
in the stable
Eight valu able carriage horses and q
number Of carriages and carts were de-
stroyed with BostwiclSs stables. The
stables were completely gutted. The
loss is estimated at s5O, O,O00
