Settled an ola yyar Debt.

John Railey, who lives about fou'
miles from Trimble, Tenn, is one of the
happiest men in the county. The cause
was the receipt by express Of $685., not a
cent of which he expected to receive.
In 1864 squad of the Fiftyfourth
Pennsylvania cavalry, who were out on
q scout endeavoring TO learn something
of the movements of General Forrest,
ramped at spring near Mr.. Railey's
residence. The following morning be-
fore departing they rode up to Railey's,

"Let that horse loose. wouldn't

Yankee thief" he angrily exclaimed.
Don't worry yourself so, pardner,"
mildly replied the soldier. You see,
my horse died last night, and l am bound
to have another. If were to depend on
my feet to get me out Of this country,
Forrest would get me sure" And he took
the horse.
At that time Bailey was well off, but
now he is poor. Recently he received n
letter signed Frank X Walldran, which
contained $685., the purchase value of the
horse and the accumulated interest. Mr..
Walldran lives in Reading, Pa, and

tim of adversely is now well to do and
has at last found himself able to pay for

BIindfolded For the wedding Ceremony

Some unusual evidence was addnced
before Judge Collins in the divorce case
of Nathan Laborich against Sarah La
borich. The complainant testified that
he married the defendant in Russia; that
according to the laws of that country he
was not permitted to see his wife, and
that both Of the contracting parties were
blindfolded when the ceremony, which
took place in a dark room, was per-
formed. The marriage, he said, was ar
ranged by the parents Of his wife and
himself, and his parents were imposed
upon, as he discovered that his wife was
Of unsound mind. He came to this coun-
try and placed her in an asylum. Later
she was removed to Elgin, where she is
at present. A decree was granted

When the sergeant took stock of the
contents of the mans pockets, he nearly

of bills amounting to $50 was found,
then an Emigrant Savings bank book
showing deposits of $1,000 turned up,
and lastly the officer took from an inside
pocket book issued by the Provident
Savings bank of Jersey City, which gave
John Walsh credit for having 81 900 in
the banks keeping. Then the man him
self produced from another pocket a
certificate of deposit in an English bank
which added So 900 to his assets.
In the Butler street court the wealthy

Tho "I,asin" of an Apple.

One end of the apple bears the name
of "basin" and contains the remnants
of the blossom-sometimes called the
eye of the fruit. This part of the apple
is deep in somevarieties and shallow and
open in others. This is the weakest point
in the whole apple as concerns the ques-
ton of the keeping quality of the fruit.
If the basin is shallow and the canal to
the core firmly closed, there is much less
likelihood of the fruit decaying than
when it is deep, and the evident opening
connects the center of the fruit with the
surface.-Professo b. d. Halsted in

A considerable amount of anxiety has
recently been caused. especially among
corporations controlling waterworks, by
the discovery that the passage of electric
cars has tendency TO seriously injure
the water pipes of a city by causing cleo
trolysis. At meeting of a waterworks
association an electrical engineer stated
that in some cases under his observation
lead pipe had entirely disappeared by the
action of the electric current. and like
result had attended the use of iron, gal.
vanized iron, brass and 'rustless" pipes.
The corrosive action takes place where
the current leaves the pipe and not
where it enters it, and the phenomena
mentioned were undoubtedly owing to
the operation of electric cars. IL is sat
isfactory to know that should the cleo
trolysis of water pipes become so serious
q question as it is thought by some it
may, certain remedy, although it
would increase the cost of water install
lations, would be the insulation of the
conduits. Chicago Herald.

Switched or by N Rurro.

A peculiar accidenthappened the other
day on the Bakersfield and San Miguel
railroad at Asphalto. The train was
made up and ready to start for Bakers
field, when young burro was seen rub
bing himself on the switch. When the
train started, the shrek of the locomo-
tive whistle frightened him, and he
jumped with such force against the
switch as to throw it open just as the
train arrived. AS a result the locomo-
tive and four of the cars were ditched.-
