The Doughty sparrow.

A Massachusetts man, driving along
road little frequented by travellers,
saw ahead what appeared to be solid
mass of sparrows, every one making
all the noise it could, and jumping up
and down, striking at something in the
road. The man left his team and went
forward to investigate. He had trouble
In driving away the sparrows, and
when he succeeded he saw large
snake on the ground, wriggling around
painfully. The man gave it knock
with stick and finished it. Then he
drove away, leaving the sparrows pull
ing their enemy to pieces.

30, nuntie, I've been to that wonderful play -
Tho play on the war, you know,
Where Sheridan rides on his coal-black steed
Right into the face OF the foe.
"'Twns the Iolliest fun that ever I saw,
And Dick who was by my side,
Said: Daisy, I'd give-what wouldn't I RivoP
To be of upon such rider
"And auntie wish IL was war times now,
With the rush and the cannons roar,
And Lincoln calling for volunteers
Three hundred thousand more.'"
Then Daisy touched the piano keys
To the tune of u double-quick,
As she thought of Sheridan's famous ride,
And her youthful lover, Dick
But auntie's face had q look OF pain,
And hcr lips grew strangely white,
AS she thought Of her sweetheart, tender and
true,
Who died in Sheridan's fight.

A HOUSE WITH A ROMANCE.
First tho Home of a Quaint Quaker ant
Then of n Lottery King.

1Hht emo Home OF n Quaint Quaker ana
Then of n Lottery King.
On tongue of wooded land formed
by the Glebe and Goldsborough creeks
in Talbot county, there is house with
romantic story. When, in 1861, Wen
lock Christison, the Quaker, was seized
by Puritan mob, headed by the Rev.
Seaborn Cotton, tried, and condemned
by Gov. Endicott to die, pardoned by
the King, and let off with fogging at
the carts tail on the highway, he
found sanctuary in Maryland, where
Lord Baltimore granted him asylum on
the tongue of land that cools itself in
the pleasant waters of st. Michael's
rtver-Miles they call it now. Here the
indomitable Quaker abode and pros
pered, wearing his hat in the presence
OF governors and magistrates, and
testifying for "the Truth and the
Light" without fear of clubs or cart
tails. Those easy-going eastern shore
men actually made him n surgess, and
he and his descendants long dwelt in
peace in the old brick manor house, of
which fragment still survives.
In time, by lapse of heirs, the place

the famous lottery king" of Mary
land, who built the turreted Villa"
there, and adorned the grounds with
fountains and winding walks, conserv-
atories and garden gods, to the effu-
sive wonder and admiration of the ma
tives But Maryland, taking up scru-
pies, set her face against lotteries, and
France for time coquetted with Della
ware, until Delaware in like manner
turned prudish; and the last we hear
OF the lottery king" is that he had
died in debtors prison.
Then the garden gods fell on their
faces and thorns sprang up and choked
them, and all was desolation and re-
spectability. Again the "Villa" waited
not in vain; for one day the windows
were opened, exposing all the ghastly
gaps in their panes and strange man
untidy and shock-headed, pottered
about in the weedy and seedy garden, a
grim and churlish recluse. But negro
curiosity, once sharply piqued, is per-
sistent and penetrating, and forthwith
Ethiopia began to gossip about the
strange man, how that he was black
smith from Connecticut, and an oracle
in local political clubs, one to whom
big Six" was spell to conjure with.
And presently the disheveled interloper
was Joined by bearded and venerable
companion, with head like pear,
wac lurked and waited behind the
close gates and the screen of shrub
berry. Then furtive yacht, at night
ia st. Michaeps river, took the bearded
mystery aboard, and was off to the bay
and the sea; and the police, who went
poking about the place day or two
later, looked foolish and asked one an
other inane conundrums about the cum
ming fitting of Boss Tweed. Century.

realized the danger, but all my en-.
treaties were useless. He simply re.
piled that he would rather be killed
than suffer any longer. He had to
stand up, thus exposing head and
breast, before he could scramble out of
the pit, and it did not seem to me that
he had been on his feet five seconds
when he sank down again. To show
you how vigilant the enemy were, and
how rapidly the hands of death move,
will state that the poor fellow was
struck by five bullets in the head and
neck. He was not only fired on from
the pit opposite, but from those to
right and left. Had he got out of the
pit he would have been struck by
twenty balls before he could make a
STEP
One could never tell whether cap
was on a soldiers head or a stick.
Four times out of five it was hoisted
on stick, but we were ready to take
the one chance In five of hitting a
head. Old caps were gathered up by
the bushel for use in the pits. After
being "plunked" about five times
there was only handful of rags and
batting left. Tho stick on which it
was hoisted would be hit about once
out of five shots, once held silver
three cent piece aloft on cleft stick
when in n pit sixty feet from the
nearest of the enemy. At the second
shot, which was doubtless from q
hunters rifle, the top of the stick and
the coin were carried away. On an
other occasion l tied blouse button
to string and held it up. 1t was a
new button and the sun was shining
brightly, and it drew the fire of a
dozen men. Some twenty shots were
| fired before the button was hit. Then
the bullet which struck it cut it in
two, and one of the halves was de-
fiected into the pit and gave my COM
rade n severe wound in the chin.
Before Lees lines were broken no
man went into the rifle pits with
out bidding his friends good bye.
1t was considered that the chances of
his being killed were five 10 three.
Hundreds and hundreds of men were
killed in going to and returning from
the pits, and out of eight men who
might occupy pit in rotation for
pWSupy-louT hOuTS Uuc loss WOulu some
times be as high as six and seldom less
than two do not mean that all were
killed, but a wounded man was little
better than dead one for thirty days
after being hit. l am sure the confed-
crates suffered as severely as we did
on the average, though they did the
finest shooting. Some of them had
fine hunting rifles, and the end of o
finger held above cover was target
they could not miss. 1 believe that
from eight to ten thousand men were
killed in the rifle pits on our side alone
while Grant was hammering away,
and these figures were equaled on the
other side. In no single instance could
| make out the slightest benefit from
this loss of life, and / do not believe it

hour 1t was useless and cold-blooded

The Quickest and Cheapest Method of

Many practical farmers find that the
quickest, easiest and most economical
method of handling shock corn is to
husk it in the field as soon as ripe and

tory to hauling to the barn. To facil-

the fodder, Elnathal Heald, of Iowa,
uses table of his own construction

Name the fiercest battle of the war,
and yet the loss of human life in the
rifle pits in front of Petersburg ex-
ceeded it by comparison. Lee hung
to Petersburg as last hope. Driven
to bay there every confederate soldier
fought with desperation. Up to that
time piclset-firing was looked upon by
both sides as little short of murder,
and by tacit agreement was suspended
except at long intervals, when it was
ordered to cover some movement by
one side or the other Along the front
of what is known as "The Crater" the
main defenses were only musket-shot

WHAT A WONDER.

The Capital considers it q great
triumph that Charlie Curtis has sue.
ceeded in getting more bills through
the present congress than any Popu-

certainly is wonderful. At this time
there is not a shade of difference be-
tween the republican and democratic
parties upon any national question.
The representatives Of the two parties
have worked and voted together upon
every question that has come before
this congress. All the differences
that have existed have been upon
sectional, and not upon party lines.

tsinly marvellous that Charlie Curtis,
one OF the gang, should be humored
by the passage Of some Of his pet
measures which in no way conflict
with the general scheme of public
plumber; and it MAY possibly seem
strange to republican editor that
Populist measures, which, if passed,
would Interfere with such schemes,
are laid away in musty pigeon holes,
but sensible people are not at all sur
prised at it. No Populist in this
congress expects any of his bills to
pass. They are not introduced with
that view. They are introduced to
indicate what will be done later on.
This congress, thank heaven, will
have sn end, aud another will sue
ceed it.; and mark the prediction,
there will be more Populists IN the
next congress than there are in this.
The time is coming when such legis-
lation as this congress is inhioting
upon the country will cease, and
when Popullst measures will have q
hearing. Don't forget this for a
minute.
