SARY AND THE BABIES.

81 hear good many stories," re-
club, 'sabout heroic deeds and things
like that took place in war times, es-
pecially about soldiers that would
rather be killed than tell lie, or
something of that sort, and they
mostly remind me of one that hap
pened down in Virginia. A private in
one of the Virginia regiments had got
into some kind of a scrape, [ don't re-
member just what, but something Sc
rious, because he was going to be shot
for it. They gave him week of
grace, and after the sentence he asked
the general in command if he couldn't
go home and see his wife and babies
that lived about twenty five miles
away in the mountains. Says he to
the general:
'sThere amt nothin' in the world,
gineral, but Sary and the babies fer
me now sence I've done this thing,
an Pm willing to die, but want to
go and see them ez if I wuz on fur
Tough and tell 'em that Pm goin' on
scout acrost the river, an jest came
to let 'em know that I mightn't ever
come back ag'in an say goodby to
'em. Sary sets a heap of store by me
and she tells the boys that they must
grow up to be good men like their ia
ther is. 1t 'ud break Sary's heart eff
she knowed what was goin' to hap
pen, an, gineral, don't you think
killing me is enough egsample with
out killing Sary, too, an leavin' them
babies to starve in the mountains? Eff
you don't think it is, gineral, you can
shoot me now and let the same bullet
go through Sary's heart. I'll come
back, gineral, shure; only for Gods
sake let me go home an make it all
right with Sary and the babies
"Wel1, the general had mercy, and
he told the soldier he could go ard
he'd trust to his honor, and besides
the whole army was watching him.
So the soldier left camp on parole
and went to his home, and on the last
day of the week, in the morning
bright and early of the day he was to
be shot''-
"By gravy" interrupted the corpo-
raj on the soapbox, Che came back,
and of course the general didn't let
man like that be put to death?"
The veteran looked at the corporal
severely for the interruption.
GAS was saying,'he resumed, "on
the last day of the week, in the morn
ing bright and early of the day he was
to be shot, he didn't come back, nor
next day, nor the day after that, nor
at any time that anybody ever heard
Of" And this time the veteran grin
ned at the corporal on the soap box
and called for another story.

A young man Of Washington city
was SO much given to exaggerated
expression that his friends found it
necessary to demonstrate.
'Think before you speak," said one
of them. "That's the only way to do
it," And several friends who were
near endorsed the advice
"But that takes time," he pleaded.
81 never misrepresent anything that
is really important, you know"
cit doesn't make any difference.
You are making a mistake. You are
getting a reputation that is hurtful to
you socially and in business way"

''Never say anything you are not
absolutely sure OFF,
''Well, I'll try it,"
1t was some days after, when they
met on the street. Both were in a
streaming perspiration, and the
friend Of the imaginative man re-
marked:
eliot; isn't it?''
The only reply was look Of earnest
reflection
II say it's mighty hot?"
The young man reached around into
his coat tail pocket, drew out Their
mometer, and after gravely inspect
ing it, said:
Ninety degrees in the shade. Yes,
[ think I am justified in replying to
you, as have to several other peo
pie to-day, that the heat is very in

Edwin Forrest had reputation as
strict stickler for what he thought
correct. He used to get so angry
with his stage people sometimes, that
their life was round of sorrow A
certain man in his company had
bad walk. Forrest one day called him
aside and began to reason with him
with foam on his lips.
''This is the way you should come
on" he said. 'sNotice this''
The "hamfatter'' watched the noble
stride of the tragedian with mingled
awe and joy.
"Ah, sir! If could walk like that,
do you suppose would be earning So
a week?"
"And you get SO week."
'tYes''
"Only eight?'

The church wardens of an English
village had placed an organ in their
little church; and, in the delight of
their hearts, they told the archdeacon
what they had done at their next Wis
itation. He fell in with their enthusi-
asm, and advised them to have
grand opening, at which DR.. Ca
well-known musician should be
present.
The advice was eagerly taken. Pla-
cards were posted, and the service
was advertised in the local papers.
The all-important day arrived, and
with it DR.. c., who was at once shown
up into the singing-loft, where stood
the instrument in case brilliant
with gilded pipes known to the pro
fession of "dummies.''
"But where is the keyboard?" in
CURED the great man who had al
ready been somewhat disconnected at
the size of the organ. "Oh," said the
church warden. 1--WE turn I'm round
with that there" pointing to the han
die.
The amazement and Indignation of
DR.. @. were beyond words. He had
been invited to open hand organ!

Last week we reported the receipt
OF a sugar beet weighing Q pounds.
This vegetable has attracted much at
ientioD, but tits completely dwarfed
by another received on Saturday last,
from our old friend z. NJ. Alexander
on Deer Greek, which tipped the scales
at the extraordinary figure OF II
pounds. The sugar beet is naturally
large, It's weight under the best condi.

pounds; but such size as that at

Of what wonders Delta soil can accom-

than 70 pounds. We challenge the

Delta products.

Following claims against the county

The condition of the pond on Wal
nut Street Is very offensive to dwellers
IN the neighborhood. Numerous
complaints have been made, and it
must be acknowledged that there is
good cause. The water has stood in
the street ever since the first heavy
rain after the drouth, and is now
green and stagnant, i'll smelling aud
unslghtly, besides being a serious men
ace to health. The terms on which
the work of excavsting and filling
were made called for the filling with
Stag as fast as II was deposited in O
sufficient quantity. As the railroad
furnishes the Stag gratis, it of course
brings 1t as is practicable and conven-
lent. No doubt the next consignment
of Stag will be so deposited as TO do
away with the Objectionable pond ;
but meantime the situation is very
unfortunate aud disagrecable, espec-
tally in front of the Capital Hotel.
