A PENuRIous MAESTRO.

His Unique scheme for Putting Some
thing In His Purse.
Some years ago a well known and
celebrated composer resided in Paris.
Hearing that a great prince intended
visiting the city, he gathered around
him number of musical lights in Or
der to give grand concert in honor Of
the prince. Knowing of the princes
hberality he banished his beautiful
concert piano to another Apartment,
substituting in it's place an antique one
with strings that would just about
respond to the touch Of the keys.
The evening of the concert arrived.
and with it the prince, who expressed
himself charmed and delighted with
the lovely music, but curious about
the piano
my dear maestro" he said, 'you
doubtless venerate this ancient piano?"
"Your highness," replied the macs
tro, sit Is more a matter of necessity
than veneration." And here he looked
sad.
The princes heart was touched, and
he asked the maestro in an ill-dis.
guised off-hand manner what style of
piano he thought the best The macs
tro liked to play on the x, its tone
was SO beautiful and it responded so
quick to the touch.
The next day the prince visited the
of the x piano and
purchased one Of their finest make, or
dering 1t sent to the maestro.
Shortly after the maestro called on |
the manufacturers of the Y piano,
and asked: Ibid Prince - order one |
of your pianos sent to my apartments?'
The answer being in the affirmative,
he politely requested his commission,
stating that it had been his pleasure to
their pianos.-Harper's

A GREAT RUSSIAN GENERAL.

He Disobeysd Orders But Won q Splendid
Victory.
We read of many brave sayings OF
men who have borne arms and fought
for their country, but it is not very
often that such are quoted of the
Russian soldiery. The following is one
told of the great Russian general, Sou
worrow. 1t seems that while major
in command Of few small outposts in
sight of an enemy that was daily grow
ing stronger in numbers, he begged
permission of his superior officer to at
tack them, fully confident of his sue
cess, and he even went 80 far as to
pledge his life on the issue. The COM
mander-in-chief thought it rash and
impracticable in view of the enemy's
greater numbers, and forbade the at
tempt. Souworrow, foreseeing that de-
lay only increased the danger, and
more and more threatened his posi-
ton, gathered his officers around him,
and by coaxing and fattery succeeded
in working them up to such a pitch
that they readily agreed to the attack.
They mustered one thousand strong
after embracing all the outposts I'M
der his command, and the enemy,
numbering five thousand, never
dreamed that force of one thousand
men would attack them. They were
taken By surprise at night, and Sou
MORROW obtained decisive victory 1t
was then he wrote his famous report:
"As a soldier, deserve death for DISC
beying orders; as Russian, l have
done my duty-the enemy is no more"
The commander-in-chief,up upon receiving
the report was thunderstruck, though
highly pleased; but, in doubt as to how
to treat the matter, sent the report,
with a statement of the affair, to the
empress. Her majesty was grateful,
however, and Immediately returned
the following answer, addressed to
Souworrow: "As soldier, leave you
to the mercy of your commander-in-
chief; as Russian, congratulate you
as my Northumberland" Harper

tory Merrily clinked their rapiers

was but about forty years ago; and yet
what distances! What a far spin the
world has made down the groove of

Butler have been in the city; the re-

borax can be used over and over again

by preserving fruit this way. Private
families as well as hotels and restaur-

small expense in which they can con-

fruit"

The Indians fired upon by the cowboys
