After the war he was mustered out WIN

his kidneys bothered him greatly. IN q
year he decided to come west to Mln-

He was terribly crippled and sunerea

Finally he decided to go still farther

more harmful effect and he, suffering
what only fellow victims Of sciatica can
realize, took almost the next train back,
and came here to Alexandria where ne
had relatives. Buying a small farm
near town, he again took up his fight
with sclatica. He tried every known

the Grand Old Man.
You ask who is the most interest
ing Englishman 1 have met. It Is q
hard question to answer IN some ways,
but, on reflection, 1 am inclined to
think that Mr.. Gladstone is the most
remarkable. He has wonderful mag
netic quality, and in private converse
ton as in his oratory, is always enter
tanning and often eloquent. When he
meets you he puts on you what they
call in England the Gladstone tenta-
cles.' He has learned from some
source unknown to you your specially
and he pumps you dry without your
feeling the process until it is all over.
Gladstone will meet the best equip.
ped man in the world and draw from
him the mental stores of lifetime.
but he gives you a quid pro quo
He is wonderful talker. Let him
discourse on any subject-music, his.
tory, novels, fashions. science, politics
cooking, anything that interests the
mind of man-and he makes you fee
that the topic under treatment is his
speciality.

A COUNTESS AS A DETECTIvI.-An
extraordinary story comes from Rome.
A short time since, says the Lady's Pic
toriaI, Countess C was robbed OF
iewelry to the value of ever 10000 lire.
The burglary was performed in sim
ularly daring manner, the plunder be-
ing removed from the Counle: SIS bed
room while she was in the next apart
ment. 1t was impossible not to suspect
either a servant or some one consider
ably higher in the social scale-name-
ly, some intimate friend of the family,
well acquainted with the habits of the
Countess, and the place where she
kept her Jewels. The police were in
stantly applied to, but their investiga-
ton led to no result. and the Countess
formed the bold resolution of endeav-
oring to trace her lost heirlooms for
herself. In order to do this, she OBJ
taiped exact information as to the hab'
its and haunts of the minete-old WON
en- who convert stolen goods into
money, and pledge or buy various
property for others. Countess C
then disguised herself into as near a
resemblance of one Of these old hags as
she could manage, and for five even
ings running hung about house in
the Via Santa Croce in the Gerusa-
lemme. From this point there is a
wide difference in the stories told, some
asserting positively that the Countess
obtained several articles back, while
others say she was only enabled to
trace the culprit, who turned out to be,
as supposed, an intimate friend and a
person of considerable rank.
