About midnight on last Saturday
night, the daughter of Capt. Henry
Kellanl, who was occupying an upper
chamber in his dwelling, near Grad
dockville, was aroused from her SUM
bers by a humping at her window
and barely escaped from the clutches
of negro that entered her room soon
thereafter to the room below. Re-
turning to her room accompanied by
her father, they found negro,
named Acham Harmon, concealed
behind her bed, very much to the
surprise of Capt. Kellam. who thought
the fears of his daughter. were SO

Kellam received several severe cuts
on the head and would probably
have been murdered, if the daughter
had not given the alarm to couple
of young men, who were visitors at
the house and who came to his rescue.
The negro escaped arrest at the
time by jumping from the window
through which he had entered, but
returning the next day to get coat
and basket which he had left behind,
was covered by gun in the hands
of Mr.. Jno. W. Kellam. until the con

after hearing was had before JUS

Jail. At the trial Hartman implicated
another negro, Robert James, in the
crime, who also was arrested and
sent to Jail, but has since been re-
leased on bail. After escaping from
the house the negro, Achram Hartman,
or some one with him, threw large
stick ofwood and two bricks through
the windows and were heard some
time thereafter around the prem

Brilliant Newspaper Men.

Newspaper men are born and not
made. | do not mean that the art of
contributing skill in modern newswrit-
ing or editorial work is any nearer to
heavenly standards than the reader
holds it to be, whatever his opinions
are; but the phrase "heaven-born" eX-
presses what it is. 1t cannot be taught
or manufactured in boy. There are
persons in northern New York who
are boarding the scraps of paper
wherein my friend, Frederic Reming-
ton, scrawled the childish drawings by
means of which he gave hint of what
his life-work was to be, and it is such
an essence as he possessed which must
be in the journalist in childhood. The
peculiar faculties of blacksmith are in
the prospective blacksmith in the same
way-and others are in the future
money-maker, the future architect, and
the future horse doctor, if you please,
as well. The man who is or is not born
newspaper man either can write enter
taiuingly and with some sense of color
and proportion about the things that are
interesting or important-or he cannot.
If he can, that ability must be developed
and fashioned, not according to any
so-called " tricks of the trade" however,
for the artist or preacher or doctor or
writer who follows the cut-and-dried
rules of his calling is mere bush that
does not flower. 1t he does not develop
his own methods and "style," he never
will amount to much beyond getting his
living.-Julian Ralph, IN Scribner'S

A RefOrmer's Lie.

Says Washington dispatch: "The
charge made by Representative Tars-
ney of Missouri, in speech in the
house some time ago, that pension
had been granted for no other cause
than badness, has been proved true.
1t appears that Allen G.. Peck, of Com
pany II, First Rhode Island artillery,
was granted pension of four dollars
per month on October 1G, 1891, with ar
rearages from March l, 1883, no other
cause being given than The loss of hair
as a result of typhoid fever" To this
the Miltoaukee Telegraph makes this re-
ply: "a man who will write such stuff as
that to be sent broadcast is a scoundrel,
a hired tool or an idiot. Tarsney was a
good soldier; he made his remark in
jest. Under present laws it would be
impossible for man TO get pension
for loss of hair, alone. Such Infamous
work as dispatches like the above can
not be too severely condemned. There
are thousands of ignorant or mischiev-
Gus creatures who will retail that report
as the solemn truth, and many people
who do not stop to think will believe ii
to be true. If the democratic party
cannot remove the frauds from the pen
sion roll without the aid of such liars as
that democratic correspondent has
shown himself to be, it had better droE
the subject and let some one else dc
the work"

comrades re-echoed by the Confederates.
lie had accomplished the work without
the loss of man and had seen himself and
displayed to every one else the full force OF
infantry manning the Confederate works.
The whole affair took less time than it
takes to read this hasty and imperfect
sketch, but thought and still think that
it was the bravest deed on the part of an in
dividual that | ever witnessed.
Captain Ash, in reporting to me after
ward, stated that his scheme of developing
the enemy's force had not occurred to him
until he had reached the brink of the river
and found that the enemy held their works
in force.
TO go on meant certain death to many of
his command. To retreat in the line of di-
rect fire would be equally disastrous, and
the inspiration to do what he did, ride rap
idly across their line of aim and gradually
oblique out of range, suddenly seized him.
His risk was great, and he knew it, but
it was better than any other course that
presented itself to his mind. Men accom-
plish i'll seconds under such circumstances
the thought of hours, with conclusions not
less correct than those attending more de-
liberation.
True, no one could have foreseen that the
excitement and rapid fire of the enemy
would so far disturb their aim as to insure
that the Union officer should escape I'M
hurt and still less could the effect of his
intrepid conduct on the enemy have been
foretold.
Now, after the lapse of years, the story of
this heroic deed appears almost fabulous.
Then it seemed very real and all natural
enough.

with the Confederates in cheering the bold
rider our hearts went out to the generous
foe who so well appreciated u gallant act
and so chivalrously acknowledged it, We
We're then unprecedented who has not

the gray or the blue, the true American
soldier is worthy descendant of the men
who made glorious the history of chivalry.

Made a Fortune by a Mistake.

1t is said that somewhere about 1849-
80, in the early days of the american
AgrtcuLturdBSt, Orange Judd one day
directed his boy to collect bill, a con-
siderable one, and put an advertisement
in the Tribune, directing the lad 10 pay
for the same with the money" or
"out of the money" which he should
collect. The boy collected the bill and
took the advertisement to the Tribune.
The clerk at the counter asked the boy
how long the advertisement was to be,
as it was only marked I" Weekly Trib.,
It," The boy remembering with the
money" which accompanied the order.
Tor answer pushed all the money he had
toward him. The clerk counted it:
found it paid for nearly half a column
OF the weekly; marked it half column
in liberal spirit, and the boy went on
his way rejoicing. Nothing was said
that day; it was late when the boy got
back, but next day about noon Mr..
Judd happened to recol.ect the bill. He
inquired about it, and found to his dis
may that the whole had been expended
in advertising. He demonstrated with
the boy, who maintained that his order
was to pay " with the money collected
-thau meant all the money as he I'M
derstood it. Mr.. Judd thought he said
"out of the money" but wasn't quite
sure, and ceased expostulation, though
he was somewhat uneasy, as those were
days of small things, and the dollars
were not so plentiful as they afterward
became. He was in this state two or
three days, when letters containing
subscriptions, induced by the adver-
tisement, began to come in-next day
more-and so on until the amount ex-
pended was more than recovered. This
made Mr.. Judd liberal advertiser, and
this, joined to the excellent editorial
management of the Agricultralist,
gave the paper its place as a leading
paper among the agricultural sheets of
the country. Our homily is done; let
the wise heed.-PreSS and Printer.

The Sting Of Wasp or Bee.

Such accidents come to child or
person suddenly; the pain is great and
so is the cutlery. In the confusion
our wits are apt to leave us powerless to
help. 1t is always reasonable, then, to
keep constantly giving simple remedies
and advice, that some may be remem-
bered in time of need. A bee will
leave its sting and fly away. A wasp
will sting and come another day. AS a
bees sting is always left in the wound,
it should be carefully removed by pull
ing it out slowly, so as not to break and
leave part in the flesh, as no remedy
will take effect so long as the barbed
end of the sting remains. After its re-
moval, put the injured part to the
mouth and suck away all the poison you
can. Then apply few drops of
ammonia, slice of raw onion, a
little common table salt moistened in
water, drop of sweet oil or benzine, a
little wood ashes mixed with water, or
a handful of mud from the roadside.
Each of these contain the alkaline prop
erty that will counteract the poison of
the sting of these insects, that has been
known to prove fatal in some cases in a
few minutes, when the prompt applica-
ton of an alkali TO the wounded part
and few drops taken internally would
have saved much suffering if not life

Learn to Swim.

A whole sermon might be preached
on the folly of going upon the water
without knowing how to swim from a
sad occurrence at Bangor during the
recent cyclone that swept over northern
New England. Professor Charles E.
Adams and his sister were on the
Penobscot river steamer that was lifted
bodily from the water and capsized.
Professor Adams was rescued with great
difficulty, while his sister was drowned.
Now, here was man who had been an
athlete for years and gymnasium in
structOr ever since he left college in
1884, and who, next fall, will 60 into
one of the most prominent universities
of the West as professor of physical
culture, and yet he is not able to swim
Such an accident ought to call the at
tention of those who are moving so
earnestly to meet the growing demand
for physical education to the serious
defect that is now prevalent. Boys and
young men are trained in all the ways
that go to make them strong and able
to make their way in life with vigorous
strength, but are left helpless as in
fants when thrown into the water.
Very few members of society in these
days do not at some time go upon the
water, where, judging from the drown
ing catastrophes that are constantly
occurring, there is always danger Of
accidents. The matter is especially
timely now when the hot weather is
driving thousands to lakes, rivers and
seashore. Worcester Spy.

Woman in France.

A curious state of affairs prevails in
France in relation to women. A French
woman may become doctor, lawyer,
a member of the board of education,
and may even be decorated with the
cross of the Legion of Honor; but she
may not witness a legal document. She
occupies an important place in art,
business and commerce; but she can
not possess her own earnings if she is
married, and she can neither buy nor
sell property without her husbands
consent.

Love Will Have Its Way.

On Sunday afternoon, when the
weather is favorable, you will often see
women and girls riding on the plat
forms of several of the elevated cars.
1t seemed rather queer to me at first to
see woman on the platforms when
there were seats inside. But when
mentioned it to the ticket chopper, he
explained that it was the wife or
daughter or sweetheart or sister of the
guard. You see, the hours of the men
are long, and some of these wives,
daughters and sweethearts are them
selves at work during the week. Sun
day is their only day-Sundays and
holidays-and the loved one must be
seen on his train if seen at all. Some
times you will see modest and shrink
ing little woman sitting close to the
door of a Car on Sundays where she
can see her guard all the run through
the window and occasionally exchange
a sly word with him between stations
for it is against the rules. She is too
modest to excite notice by her conduct,
and as for riding outside, she would
never be guilty of that. But the girl
on the platform would not be noticed
by one in ten thousand, it is so common
to ride on the platform. There she
can be with her lover all the time, and
frequently touch his Internationally
of course-and get a tender word now
and then beneath the screen of bust
ness. 1t is a pretty sight, and it is a
sight to warm the hearts of the young
lovers who have their Sundays in Cen
trail mark ALONG the romantic ramble or
in the shady recesses of the summer
houses of the lake, or can enjoy the
society of each other in the coy front
parlor at home. AS for me, well, if
saw her touch his hand, l would look

True Marriage.

A happy wedlock is long falling in
love. | know young persons think
love belongs only to the brown hair
and plump, round, crimson cheek. So
it does for its beginning, just as Mount
Washington begins at Boston Bay.
But the golden marriage is a part Of
love which the bridal day knows moth
ing of. Youth is the tassel and silken
flower of love; age is the full corn, ripe
and solid in the ear. Beautiful is the
morning of love with its prophetic
crimson, violet, saffron, purple and
gold, with lis hopes of days that are to
come. Beautiful also is the evening Of
love, with its glad remembrance and its
rainbow side turned toward heaven as
well as the earth. Theodore Parker.

Death of " Mother ShiptOn.v

Mother Shipton is dead, or at any rate
the real author of her famous prophe-
cies is no more. In other words, the
bookselling world has to deplore the
loss of Mr.. Charles Hindley, who long
ago confessed to the innocent imposture.
He wrote good deal in one way or
another, partly to the press and partly
in books, but Mother Shipton was his
most famous achievement. He died at
Brighton, where he used to carry on

MISCELLANY,
A Country School.

Pretty, and pale, and tired,
She sits in her stin.backed chair
While the blazing summer sun
Shines in on her soft brown hair;
And the little brook without,
That she hears through the open door,
Mocks with its murmur cool
Hard bench and dusty floor.
1t seems such an endless round,
Grammar and ABC,
The blackboard and the sums,
The stupid geography
When from teacher to little Jem
Not one of them cares a straw
Whether "John is in any case"
or Kansas in Omaha.
For jennings bare brown feet
Are aching to wade in the stream
Where the trout to his Turing bait
Shall leap with a quick, bright CLEAN:
And his teachers blue eyes stray
To the flowers on the desk hard by,
Till her thoughts have followed her eyes
With a half-unconscious sigh.
Her heart outruns the clock,
As she smells their faint, sweet scent;
But when have time and heart
Their measure in unison blentl
For time will haste or lag.
Like your shadow on the grass,
That fingers far behind,
Or flies when YOU fain would pass.
Have patience, restless Jem-
The stream and the fish will watt
And patience, tired blue eyes.
Down the winding road by the gate,
Under the willow shade,
Stands some one with fresher flowers;
So turn to your books again,
And keep love for the after hours.
