One Battle He Lost.

There is one battle which General M. M Trumbull did not win It was fought in Q down town restaurant He entered the restaurant and was very ob- sequiously ushered to seat by an ebony waiter, who was clearly im- pressed with the generals imposing ap- pearance. The darky's countenance registered several degrees lower whom General Trumbull gave his order:
 Coffee and rolls. ''
 "Yes, sah,' was the walters disap- pointed reply. He had looked for big order and did not get 1t.
 When he returned with the coffee, the general looked at it @ moment in supreme disgust. The fluid had stopped down the side of the cup and half filed the saucer.
 1T don't want that coffee Bring me some in decent shape, ordered the gen. eral.
 "Dat all de kin O. co1ee you gwine t' git " replied the waiter.
 Hook here" said the general sharp ly, II fought four years to give liberty to the likes of you, and I'm carrying three bullets in my body now. Get me some decent coffee"
 With this telling the general began to unfold hisnewspaper. considering the matter settled.
 "Yes, sah! You done itl You done it. sahl But dat's all de coffee you gwine to git heahp' obdurately replied the negro.
 And the general was obliged to take his ungrateful medicine in silence. - Chicago Tribune.

4 MINE DISASTER.
Seven Men Instantly Killed by an Explosion
 of Canl Dust

Seven Men Instantly Killed by an Explosion
 of Coal Dust.
 WHEELING, Nov 2l.-The most appall- Ing mine disaster in this section of West Virginia occurred at the Blanch coal mines on the Panhandle railroad at Col Hers Station. A new miner, an Italian. put of an offblast charge which ignited the coal dust in the mine. and a fearful explosion followed, carrying death and destruction in its path. There were 4S men in the mine at the time, and the following are known to be killed:
 Michael Rooney. Thomas Jordan, Thomas Tucker. married; David Row land, married; John Donnelly. married; Antonio Sattie. married; Mazzle Gissie- deo, married.
 The following are badly injured: Jose Refael. married; Raefel Necki. will die Jasper Lawrence, Thomas Morris.
 After the explosion there was terrific whirling in the mine, carrying every thing before it. Donnelly and Rooney wore in the mine some distance and were going toward the entrance. The force of the explosion drove them nearly 100 yards out of the mouth of the mine and landed Rooney on the railroad track, killing him instantly, while Donnelly landed in a gully, striking his head against post. His brains were dashed out and scattered for yards around. His wife was the first to find him. and she swooned and is now lying prostraued by the shock. There Is little hope that she will recover.

He w.a .aAhsentminae.i.

The absentminded man is at 1t again. He had been reading the egg story and decided to try the trick. The first thing to do was to boil tho egg. How many minutes? he asked himself. and going to the stove with the egg in one hand and his watch in the other he dropped the latter in the hot water. Then, placing the egg on the table, he sat down to read until the time was up. At the end of five or six minutes he was surprised to find the egg lying there before him; but, supposing that he had himself taken it from the kettle and cooled it he proceeded to crack and peel it. The consequence may be imagined Fiaally he missed his watch. The house was searched high and low, and it was not till the following morning that the cook found it in tho kettle, whore 1t had been boiling for rhours.-Exchange-

"How are you?''

"Mid'lin," said the colonel. The 'lank fellow placed an elbow on the fence. "wollopped' his tobacco about in his mouth time or two, and lazily lookingup at the colonel remarked: "l don't live in this hero noighborhood. Live good ways from here. Yes, and I lowed that before the season got busy again I'd drap over here and gath CT me up chunk of wife. ''
 'tThe h--l you didP' the colonel ex- claimed .....
 "Yes, before the season gets busy again. But I'm mighty hard to please, tell you. Don't care much about the girl though. A feller down wander ad- vised me to come up here and marry your daughter, but replied that I was so blamed partioular"-
 They picked up the lank fellow and hauled him to a boarding house, and when he came to he made certain in- quiries concerning himself, and then said that he reckoned that it was all right Ho said that some men had one way of handling subject and some an- other. "We live and learn" he re- marked "Ef we furgit somethin today, we're mighty apt to think of somethin new tomorrow"
 The old colonel called on the fellow. He was as tender hearted as he was pe- culiar. The lank man forgave him, and they talked pleasantly of the shooting scrapes they had seen, and an intimacy of pity on one side and peculiar aim lessness on the other grew between them. One day the lank man, sitting in rocking chair at the window, look ed up after few moments of pondering and remarked:
 Colonel, I wouldn't marry your daughter, sir. ''
 Well, gad, that's cool Wouldn't marry her. Why, hang it, you have nover seen her. "I know, but that don't make any difference since she'd have nothing to do with it anyway. have discovered that there ain t nothin remarkable about you anyhow. don't know of moro ordinary man than you arc, and l couldn't afford to have you for daddy in-law."
 "Why, you impudent scoundrel, Pm bu6 Iuhh tliio OOli- munity, and, gad, sir. I'm kin to the Peppers"
 1T don't care if you are kin to the let tuce and the onions You don't strike me as amountin to much No, I don t want your daughter.
 "Why, confound your lank picture, if you bully me I'll make you take her."
 "Oh, reckon not" ''Whati Now, look here, I never was bullied in my life. and I never intend to be. Blast me if you shan't marry her this veryday. I'll toach you to come bullying mo, you good for noth- Iing.wretoh-

Changing Colors of Glass.

In featuring on the ruby at the Royal institution, London, recently Professor John w. Judd, the well known English geologist, alluded to the changes in color which certain kinds of glass undergo when exposed to light. The green glass panes in the conservatories at Kew gradually change through shades of yell low to purplish hue under the action of light. Rubies change color in Q cu- rious way under the action of heat Bluish rubies turn green and on cooling regain their original tint. The blue sapphire turns white, and the yellow corundum crystal becomes green.

ALONG THE BEACH.

Last night storm was on the sea, The wreckage drifts ashore; Come walk along the beach with ma And hear the breakers roar. What soul their sorrow understands7 What eye can trnce their path7 They fling themselves upon the sands And foam with fear or wrath. The shore receives them, patient, dumb, Nor trembles at their shocks, But lifts to meet them as they come Its great, insensate rocks They calm me with their awful strength, So small my life appears, So less than nothing In their length Are all my days and years. Hook across the restless sea And seem an atom tost To wandering winds, and what to me Is joy if kept or lost2 And what If wearied on the way fall and faint and die, Would any miss till judgmsnt day So small thing as I?
