Congress is hard at work doing n

Congress is hard at work doing no
thing. The event of the session thus
far was Senator Voorhees, speech ad-
vocating the unconditional repeal of
the Sherman law. As he has been a
silver man heretofore, the advocates of
free coinage are feeling somewhat
downin the mouth about it.
The continued illness of President
Cleveland is sominous. The.vdeath.. of
the president at this time would be a
national calamity. When we consider
the character Of the man who would
succeed him, as well as Mr.. Cleve-
lands own personal Importance during
the present crisis, We can but hope
that his life may be spared to serve
his term. ~. -.

A ragged, barefooted boy, a crossing
sweeper, had doffed his cap to the Duch-
ess Of Sutherland in the hope Of reco~-
milton, when he observed well dressed
but rakish looking man following her
across the street, as if trying to force
upon her attentions that were evidently
obnoxious to her. There was a look CT
distress on the duchess face.
"Scuse me. lady," said boys voice
beside her, "shall I punch is 'ead?'
She turned, looked down angrily upon
the little sweeper, and then said, smiling:
"Why, it's Jemmier'
She had remembered his name after
all, and at that moment the boy was hers,
body and soul. Without waiting for
another word he dashed off and turned
a sort of violent "cartwheel'' 50 adroitly
calculated that he landed with two very
muddy feet in the middle of the offensive
mans. waistcoat.
Then, before the man could recover
from the shock, the boy had slapped him
with one muddy hand across the mouth
and with the other had deposited a hand
full of the filthy compound on the back
of his neck.
The next moment the boy was in the
grasp of a policeman, who dragged him
away to the nearest police station. He
was just being charged by the constable
with having committed an assault whe1
the duchess entered. She spoke kindly
to the gamin and then explained the af
fair to the inspector on duty.
At her request the boy was set al
liberty, and he staid only long enough
to say to the Inspector: y

When Booth Saved Young Lincoln's Life.

When Booth Saved Young Lincoln's Life.
It was at Bowling Green, KY, during
the summer Of 1877. Edwin Booth stood
upon platform waiting for a train; so,
too, did man unknown to the actor.
Buried in thought, this stranger left the
platform to walk upon the track, not
noticing an approaching engine. One
moment more and there would have been
an indistinguishable corpse. Silently,
suddenly, Edwin Booth seized this
stranger and lifted him almost bodily
upon the platform. So close came the
engine that it struck the strangers heels
as they left the track. "Do you know
who that man is?' asked Mr.. Ford, the
well known manager of Baltimore, who
witnessed the thrilling scene.
''No," replied Booth.
"Robert Lincoln, President Lincoln's
son." ...l .,..-..
This was the most satisfactory Incl
dent in Edwin Booths life. Sensitive as
a woman, he suffered untold tortures
for the mad deed Of his brother. He had
voted for Abraham Lincoln as president
and never voted before or after.-Kate

She and her aged mother were the only occu-

arose and said: Colonel You ran great risk
in leaving your horse In such an exposed posi-
ton : the Yankee pickets ara all about u.s. !
will go and put him in the barn.
She left the room and after few minutes
returned, when we resumed our conversation.
Suddenly she started up and listened. Colo

we found two pieces of artillery stationed their
muzzles pointing in the direction whence we
came, the gunners standing beside them, and
supply of ammunition at hand, 1t began 10
dawn upon us that this vas a retreat. This
opinion was further strengthened and verified
by number of men being at once detailed,
with axes, to go back and fell trees across the
road we had just travelled, and to destroy the
bridge over which we had just passed. The
whole regiment was then deploycd along the
edge OF the bayou, and there, with the open
fields behind US and with the bayou, and ON It's
further side the woods, between us and the
enemy, we lay and watched uudisturbed by
our foemen, who were then no doubt uncon-
scious of our quiet and hasty departure from
their immediate vicinity.
Here for the first time we realized that we
were beaten, and afterward We learned why
our expedition failed. The army under Grant,
that was to have kept the rebel forces IN the
interior OF Mississippi at least employed, had
failed utterly in carrying out their part OF the
program. Moving down to Holly Springs, Grant
there established depot of supplies and pro-
visions and then moved SOUTH meeting with
only slight opposition. Whether the force left
at Holly Springs was insufficient for the pro-
lection of point so important, or whether the
defense made by its garrison was not SUCH as IT

Birds with long legs always have short tails.
Writers on the fight of birds have shown that
the only use of birds tail is to serve as a
rudder during the act of flight. When birds
are provided with long legs these are stretched
directly behind when the bird is flying and so
act as q sort of rudder. Nature is economical,
and never provides two organs for the same
purpose, so when the long legged birds began
to use their legs as steering apparatus nature
cut off their tails and made the leg rudder
