His Face LII. Fortune.

"Long before the war John Reynolds
was . great man in Illinois," said Col.
w. X. Morrison. "As far back as 1878
he was o Justice Of the Supreme Court,
and was Governor from 1880 to 1884.
He cut o figure in the Black Hawk
war, and later came to Congress. He
was . powerful a before q Jury, and!
his facial expires ion, which certainly
did him great service in winning his
cases, was something wonderful. It
would have made the fortune OF n

every body knows, q man OF the koen-

Trumbull fairly outdid himself. Turn

Not a Temperance Ship.

A remarkable encounter with a
strange sea monster is reported by the
crew OF the bark Loogana, which ar
rived from the Gilbert group recently.
The vessel was drifting along some
where in the vicinity of the Santa
Cruz group, when the helmsmen shout
ed out that there was a whale along
side. According to the mate, the Wis
itor, which almost touched the YES
sells side, was not a whale at all, but a
monster thirty feet long and eleven
feet broad, completely different from
anything ever seer before by any one
on the ship.
1t had q mouth large enough to
take in half a dozen men. 1t resem-
bled a whale about the tail, but was
differently formed about the head,
and was of a dark color. spotted with
white. The eyes were visible. Fear
ing an attack from the monster, two
shots were fired at the body from a
Winchester rifle, but the bullets ap-
peared not to have the slightest effect.
A third shot, which struck it's head,
had the desired result, and with one
sweep of its tail it turned and disap-
peared as suddenly as it had hove in
sight.-LOndCn Telegraph.

tail the events which a strange fate had
placed in such conjunction as to com.
promise Marguerite, and he concluded
as follows:
Therefore from this moment you be-

whom. there were about 100. In ona
company, "a strong, every man and
officer was hit, and the orderly sergeant
who made out the list did it With a
bullet through each leg. This was bv
far the largest regimental loss on
either side during the war. Col. r
J. Kennedy of Auburn, N. Y, claims
to have been the first volunteer for tho
Union Army. This application was
placed on file January II, 1861. This
patriotic distinction is disputed by
Capt. W. w. Bush, of Lockport, N.
Y. However, if they are alive, thew
must settle this between themselves.
If they are dead, they have doubtless
proved the matter by the official
records.
In April, 1861, the lieutenant
colonel and major Of what became the
famous Second Massachusetts Regi-
ment induced the Secretary of War to
sign a paper agreeing to receive into
the service Of the United States for
three years a regiment which Col.
George Ii. Gordon was the raising.
This was five days before President
Lincoln issued his first call for three
year troops, and thus Colonel Gordon's

One month later, after having had
plenty of opportunity to get better ac-
quainted with Marguerite, Andre sub
mitted to mild compulsion and accept
ed her as his wife. Nor have fifteen
years proved the unwisdom Of his
course. How many husbands can say

ON Duty Forever.
IAN quiet on the Potomac, :" they say.
Except now and then . stray picket
Is shot as he walks his beat to and fro,
BY q rinemau hid in the thicket.n
IT'S nothing, a private or W now and then,
Will not count in the news OF q battle;
Not an ot1cer lost-only one OF the men.
Moaning alone, all alone the death rattle.
All quiet on the Potomac tonight,
Where the soldier is peacefully dreaming;
Their tents In tho rays OF the clear autumn
Or the light O, the watch fires are cleaning,
A tremulous sigh, as the gentle night wind
Through the forest leaves slowly Is creeping;
While the stars up above, with their glisten-
Keep NV wa,eh-for the army is sleeping.
There's only the sound OF the lone sentry's
As he tramps from the rock to the fountain,
Thinking OF the two on the low trundle bed,
Far away in the cot on the mountain:
His gun falls slack-hisf face, dark and GRIM,
CLOVIS gentle with memories tender.
AS he mutters a prayer for the Chi dren asleep
For the mother, may Heaven defend her.
The moon seems to shine as brightly as then,
That night when the love, yet unspoken.
Leaped up to his lips, and when
vow
Were pledged. to be ever unbroken;
Then drawing his sleeve roughly over his eyes,
He dashes OF tears that are yelling,
And gathers his gun up TO Its right place,
AS II to keep down the heart swelling.
He passes the fountain, the blasted pine tree,
The footstep Is tagging and weary.
Yet onward he goes, Through the broad belt
OF light,
Toward the shade OF a forest so dreary.
Hank! was it the wind that rustied the leaves:
Was It the moonlight SO wondrously fash
ing
1t looked like a rihe-"Ha! Mary. good bye! -
And the life-blood is ebb!ng and splashtng.
REFRAIN.
All quiet on the Potomac tonight.
No sound save the rush OF the river;
While soft falls the dew on the face OF the
dead
The picket's of duty forever.

Colonel of the First Massachusetts

the Colonel's being in the neighbor-
hood of Platte City, and therefore

Colonel's abode, the Captain was
somewhat in advance of his men, and

window, and then with a quick dodge
draw it in again. The men, in the
