THOUGHTFUL OLD ROSY.
How an Affscbionate Family Horse Con,
.. forted Its Little Master.

How an Affscbionate Family Horse Com"
forted Its Little Master.
Perhaps good deal of the Listeners
personal love for horses is traceable back
to single incident of his early child
hood. At the age of six he once mount
ed Old Rosy (the term "old" at that
time was merely one of endearment,
for the mare was not as old as the boy),
to ride to neighbours, The mare was
fat and sleek, and so was the boy; her
back was so round that her spine was q
littlo hollow instead of projection.
On this glossy round back was no sad
die, not even n blanket; the fat little
boys short legs simply stuck out into
the air on either side. The greater
part of the journey had been achieved,
! and the boy and mare were returning
homeward, when in going down
slope, Rosy inadvertently began to trot
and the boy, having no kind of anchor
age, began to slide forward upon the
mares neck. Upon that he let go the
bride, hugged the neck, and screamed.
Not knowing quite what this perform
ance meant, Rosy continued to trot
placidly down the hill, and the boy
continued to slide. Doubtless she
thought it was some new kind of boys
play. At last he slid clear over her
head and rolled upon the ground. The
mare must have eased the fall for him
by ducking her neck slowly, and She
certainly kept her feet entirely clear
of him. He simply rolled into the ditch
by the side of the road, quite unhurt,
boo-hooing Justify.
And then comes the pretty part of
the story. The young mare did not go
on ten steps after the small boy rolled
off her neck, but stopped, turned back,
came down to the screaming child,
nosed him affectionately, and, as he
will swear to his dying day, comforted
him as best she could. She showed him
that the bride r2ins were hanging
down within his reach. Under such an
influence the boy of six-which is an
age, it is scarcely needful to say, when
few Boston boys are intrusted with the
management of a horse-stopped weep,
ing, got up, took hold of the bride, and
reflectingly led the mare home.-Bos

WANTED TO FIND HIS MuskET
Reason Given by an Ohio Veteran for a
Trip to Tennessee.

Reason Given by an Ohio Veteran for a
Trip to Tennessee.
An old soldier and veteran of the late
war will start from Cincinnati upon a
strange errand, but one that lies very
near to his heart. He is Capt. William
f. Jones, and his present residence is
Bloomingburg, o. He has relatives in
this city and they are about to aid him
in carrying out the one wish of his life
and that is to go to the battlefield
where he was captured during the war
and hunt for his old rifle that in tho
last moment he threw into a stream Of
water.
This might seem to be very unrea-
sonable and entirely useless desire
on the part of the old soldier, but
he is confident he will be able,
after the lapse of over thirty years,
to go back to the point where
he threw his gun into the slug
gish stream and find it again. Capt.
Jones enlisted in the Forty-second
Ohio volunteer infantry, the regiment
which President Garfield led out as it's
colonel, and of which he was colonel at
the time of the capture of Capt. Jones
and his associates.
1t was in 1861, when the regiment
was in the Cumberlands, and just after
| number of the brief but sharp en-
| counters of the campaign, but the old
soldier was out with a scouting party
in the Cumberland gap. They were
surprised some distance from their
lines by company of confederates,
| and yyheO il was seen that eSpnpe yag
impossible they determined they would
not allow the confederates to have the
use of their weapons, at any rate.
Breaking the locks and otherwise rem
dering them unfit for use, they threw
them upon the ground and waited dog
| gedly for the capture that they saw
could not be avoided.
Capt. Jones, more bitter than the
rest, and determined that no confed
crate should ever have any good from
his rifle, beat the gun arourd tree
that stood near and hurled it into g
small stream that winds through the
low land of the gap. He, with all the
others of the little band, was cap
tured and taken away from the place
and, as fortune had it, none of then
ever returned to that spot where the
guns were thrown away.
Capt. Jones is now an old, gray
haired man, and, notwithstanding the
fact that he rose from the ranks ant
carried better weapons than his olt
rifle, he is now taken with strong de
sire to revisit the place where he wa
captured and search for the gun. H

PUSSY is AMBITIOUS.
She Wants to Sing with operate Stars In
n New York Hail.

New York Hall.
There is a cat in Carnegie hall that
Is rapidly becoming famous because of
its stage performances. Whenever a
concert is given in the hall that cat is
certain to turn up at the most inter-
esting part of the entertainment and
walk demurely out to the center of the
stage and sing.
OF course, the audience, as a general
thing, is amused, but the singers are
thrown into confusion. AS the cat re-
fuses to be coaxed from the stage 1t is
necessary for some one to walk out from
the wings and interrupt the perform
ance in order to get the cat out. II
pussy takes notion to remain on the
stage, and she usually does, she tries
to escape, and then there is sure to be
lively and diverting chase after her,
But pussy is an intelligent cat, and
when she heard the men and women on
the stage receive tremendous ovations

A wounded Confederate,s GRIT.

Col G. S. Venable, of the University
of Virginia, relates the following Incl
dent in the life of the late confederate
general NJ. d. Corse: "At Sharpsburg
Gen. Corse's brigade charged the
enemy on our left center against heavy
odds The charge failed and he was
left on the field wounded. The gal
liant brigade was soon reformed ane
the charge was renewed. The old
hero raised himself ON his elbow under
the enemy's fire and waved his hand
backward to his men to come on. And
come on they did with will, and drove
the confronting foe from its position.

AN OCEAN LETTER HOx.
How Australian Sailors Send and Receive
Their Mall.

Their Mall
peculiar custom prevails among the
shippers and fishermen in Australian
waters. These hardy mariners are
often for months at time away from
their homes, cruising to and fro in
search of fish, shells, coral or sponges.
Away from all communication with the
civilized world they have erected on
points of vantage situated near much
frequented ocean highways high stones.
to which they attached an empty barrel
at convenient height. Here they de-
posit all letters they wish to mail, with
money for the postage, and pearl or
bit of coral as reward for the one
collecting this mail. In fact. it is moth.

Sensation over tho I6sNaHce OF 0aFTan1
for Rev. Mr.. Hinshaw.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 2.-Rev. W..
e. IIinshaw, whose wife was murdered
by burglars at Belleville three weeks
ago, went to Danville Friday to be ar
rested for the murder of his wife. Mr..
Hinshaw was himself cut sixteen times
on the night his wife was murdered.
He is still very weak from his wounds,
but went to Danville to avoid being
taken there by an officer.
Detective Burns, of Seymour, who
has been at work on the case, made
the affidavit upon which Mr. Hinshaw
was to he arrested. His theory was
that IIinshaw's wounds were self-in-
hicted.
The greatest indignation has been
aroused in Belleville and at Dam
vile over the action of Detective
Burns. The warrant issued for
the arrest Of Ilinshaw has been re-
called, and the powers of the deputy
constable who was to have served it
have been revoked The little COM
munity of Belleville is nearly as greatly
wrought up over the effort to secure
the arrest of Mr.. Hinshaw as it was
over the dastardly murder of his wife
and assault upon himself. The cor
oner's verdict completely exonerated
