I had nothing to eat, and very
little water to drink. / had some
medicine in a little bottle, and,
after emptying it, used the bottle
as a drinking glass at the first pool

Kate Fields Romance.

Miss Field s death recalls story of
her youth that was first given publicity
i'll the World's Congress Of Journalists
in 1898 and may contain the secret of
her having never married. The story as
told by one who claimed to know was
that in the beginning of her journalistic
career Miss Field worked ON the Gin
cinhati Commercial in collaboration
with Whitelaw Reid, who was at that
time her accepted lover. When Reid
became. an editorial writer on the New
York Tribune he sent for his old sweet
heart to come and take position on the
paper. Until after the defeat of Horace
Greedy for the presidency the pleasant
relations between Mr.. Reid and Miss
Field continued
When Greeley returned OF his old desk,
defeated and broken hearted, the stock
of the Tribune was put upon the market
at very low price. By the advice. of
Mr.. Reid majority of the stock was
purchased by D. o. Mills, and Reid was
given full control Of the paper. As a
result of the relations thus established
Whitelaw Reid married Elizabeth Mills,
the daughter of D. o. Mills, and be-
came the owner of majority of the
stock of the Tribune. When the news
o. the engagement of Mr.. Reid to Miss
Mills became known Kate Field severed
her connection with the Tribune and
I,ft the Office never to enter it again. =

A recent writer has been recalling
some Of the peculiar marriage ceremo-
MES of the Puritans, and says that the
following Sunday after the ceremony
the happy couple walked to the church,
followed by little procession of friends.
1t was not necessary for the congrcga-
ton to break their necks trying to see
what the bride had on, for during the
service, the bride and groom rose from
their seats and turned slowly around to
complacently exhibit their finery on ev-
cry side This was humane custom
that could be adopted now with much
advantage. Furthermore, It was the
privilegeof the bride to choose the sub
ject Of the sermon, and much ingenuity
was exhibited in finding unusual Bible
taxts. Two of Parson Smith daugh-
tiers were married, one Of whom re-
joiced in the name of Mary. Mary
chose; MARY hath chosen the better
part. = The other one had displeased
her parents by her selection Of hus-
band, and she chose For John came

A True Hero.

Down at Smyrna, twenty miles from
Nashville, Tenn, there sleep the re-
mains Of boy hero, around whose grave
cluster honoYs that are athousand fold
richer than those that cling about the
graves of Grant or Lee. Sam Davis,
less than twenty one years old, was a
brave Confederate. During the war he
found his way inside the Federal lines
and gained important information.favor :
able to his beloved mother, the blessed
Sunny South He was captured, tried
by court martial as spy and convicted.
The day of his execution came. A de-
tail Of the enemy's soldiers confronted
him; his coffin rested before his eyes
over his head dangled the fatal moose
about him hung the bright heavens, and
around him the golden sunlight that be-
longed to his beloved home played upon
his cheeks and flashed before HIS eyes
The prayer by brave soldier in sympa
thy had been uttered, and nothing was
to be done but to carry out the execu-
ton of the order to hang the mere boy
on the grounds of his own home and in
the air of his own country. The com
mandant said to the boy: ''Tell us
who gave you your information from
out our ranks and your freedom is
yours The noble boy looked straight
at the officer for moment, smiled and
bravely swayed his head negligently
The order was given to pull down the
black cap and adjust the moose and the
poor boy was launched into eternity
His friends of the South have erected a
monument over his remains, and' his
spirit is with the God who gave it.. The
name of Sam Davis will be treasured
Preside remembrance so long as the
South with her blessed memory is not
forgotten. Bowling Green Courier.

Fishing lIade Easy.

Last week Chicago genius was grant
ed a patent ON a fishing rod that is cal
culated to cause the disciples of leak
Walton to shed tears of joy. This great
labor saving device consists Of a rod and
holder cooked and poised upon strong
spring. In this position it may be left
upon the shore by itself, after the owner
has baited the hook and cast it into the
water. When fish seizes the bait, the
tug 1t gives the line opens trigger, and
the fish is jerked ashore and landed high
and dry by the uncoiling Of spring.
This invention at once removes fishing
from the lists of laborious occupations
and makes it nothing but a pastime. In
particular will it commend itself to our
colored fishermen, who have found the
one drawback to sitting on the bank Of
the canal with rod and pole-the diff
Guilty of fishing and sleeping at the same
time. With the new patent Chicago
pole, after they have spit on the bait and
set the pole, their duty will be done, and
they can dream on. The pole and the
fish will do the rest. -Ex.

We find the following excellent senti (
ment going the ronnds Of the press.
They are SO very correct that every per-
SON, whether adopting the precepts they
set down, or not, must approve them
"Onc Of the most easy, the most com
mon, most perfectly foolish things in
the world is to quarrel, no matter with
whom, man woman or child, or upon
what pretence, provocation or occasion
whatever. There is no kind of necessi
ty in 1t, no matter of use in it, and no
species of degree of benefit to be gained
by it. Theologians quarrel, and poll
ticians, lawyers, doctors and princes
quarrel, the church quarrels, and the
state quarrels nations and tribes, and
corporations, men, women and chill
dren, dogs and cats, birds and beasts,
quarrel about all manners of things, and
on all manner Of occasions. If there is
anything in the world that will make a
man feed bad, except pinching his finger
in the crack of the door, it is unques-
tionably quarrel No man ever fails
to think less of himself after than he did
before one; it degrades him in his own
eyes and in the eyes of others, and what
is worse, blunts his sensibility to dis
grace on the one hand and increases the
power Of passionate irritabiIity on the
other
The truth is, the more quietly and
peaceably we all get on the better, the
better for ourselves, the better for our
neighbors. In nine cases out of ten, the
wisest course isif man cheats you to
quit dealing with him; If he is abusive
quit his company; if he ISLANDERS you, the
wisest way is generally just 70 let him
alone; for, there is nothing better than
this cool, calm, quiet way of dealing
with the wrongs we meet with. -
