How Some Soldiers Got Even.

Just before General Joe Johnston
surrendered at Greensboro, N. c., his
commissariat was so slim that it did
not satisfy the hunger of some Of his
men. The consequence was the plan
tations on the route of their retreat
were stripped Of everything eatable.
Stringent orders were issued by Gen
eral Smith against this kind of indie
pendent foragng, and strong provost
guard was sent out to strip the men
OF their booty, and all of the tid-blts
went to replenish General Smiths
larder
His men determined to get even
with him, so a party went to distant
farm house and killed large New
foundland dog, skinned it and cut it
into such small pieces that it was i'm
possible to tell what the animal was
when it was alive. They then APP
preached the camp in the direction
they knew the guard would intercept
them, and allowed themselves to be
captured. The meat supposedly NUT
tom was sent up to General Smiths
headquarters, where it in due time APP
peared on the Generals table. The
story got abroad, and the next time
there was review or dress parade Of
Smiths Brigade, soldier at one end
of the line called out, "Who ate the
dog" The reply from the other end
was, General Smith," and the whole
line broke into loud Bow WOW -
chow WOW p "bow wow p Warrea-
ton Virqinidn.

Stopping a Ship.

The motion Of steamship on the
Atlantic, when the sea is calm, is so
smooth and steady that the passenger
hardly realizes the tremendous mo-
mentum of the vessel under his feet.
After the engines have been slowed
down there is startling revelation Of
the energy Of motion. This energy
can also be accurately calculated with
the aid of mathematical formulas, and
the time and distance within which
tie motion can be totally arrested, and
the ship be brought to stand, may
be ascertained in a similar manner.
This calculation has recently been
made for several well-known ships.
To stop the Etruria, whose displace-
ment is $3.50 tons, horsepower IA ,32l,
and speed 20.l8 knots an hour, two
minutes and At seconds are required;
during the progress of stopping, the
ship will forge ahead 2,464 feet, which
is only 176 feet less than half a mile.
The United States cruiser Columbia,
with a displacement of 1850 tons
1891 horsepower and speed 22,0
knots, can be stopped in two minutes
and fifteen seconds, and within space
of 2,157 feet. The little flyer, Cush-
ing, also Of the United States navy,
whose displacement is only lO5 tons,
and horsepower l ,754, while its speed
is 2248 knots, can be stopped within
distance of 30l feet in IS 4 seconds,
In each case the vessel is supposed to
be going full speed and the stoppage
Is produced by reversing the action of
the propelling machinery.

Brannon and M'Graw.


Judge Jno. Brannon, of.Weston, W.
Va, arrived at the Blennerhassett
Hotel at Parkersburg on last Monday
to give attention to some business In
the U. S. Court in which Col. Jno. I.
McGraw, of Grafton, is also interested.
Those who are acquainted with Judge
Brannon know that he is punctillous
in his business engagements, while Col.
McGraw has probably more of other
peoples time to spare than any man
in West Virginia.
On Monday Judge Brannon received
a message from Col. McGraw that he
would be here on Tuesday.
The Judge concluded to await his
arrival. On Tuesday he received a
message from Col. McGraw, stating
that he was busily engaged and would
not reach here until Wednesday. The
business being of importance the Judge
remained over.
On Wednesday a message was re-
ceived from the Colonel, stating that
he could not reach Parkersburg unit
Thursday. The Judge still awaited
his arrival, but Col. McGraw failed to
appear, and their business before the
Court continued.
On Thursday the Judge received
two kilograms, the first of which an
nounced Col McGraw's contemplated
arrival on Friday and the second IN
formed the Judge that owing to press
ing business engagements he could not
be here until Saturday and asked the
Judge to remain.
By this time the Judges patience
and laundry had been exhausted and
he could tarry no longer, so he sent
the following message to the Colonel
please meet me in Atlantic City in
July next"
And after leaving his call for the
early train he retired to rest. About
II p. IN. he was awakened by a bell
boy with a message, which read as
follows;
"What date in July?
MCGRAw."
When the message boy left the
Judges room he carried with him a
message which read as follows;
"July 10th. You had better start
now. BRANNON. "

Threw Away His Canes.

Mr.. D. Wiley, ex-postmaster, Black
Creek, n. Y, was so badly afflicted
with rheumatism that he was only able
to hobble around with canes, and even
then it caused him great pain. After
using Chamberlain Pain Balm he was
so much improved that he threw away
his canes. He says this liniment did
him more good than all other medi-
cines and treatment put together. For
sale at so cents per bottle by J. e.

How to Treat a Man.
BY A HORSE.

Here is an article from the Chicago
Humane Journal that may set some
of our readers to thinking new
thoughts; if SO, we are glad for the
horses sake:
When a man drops from sheer ex-
haustion or illness, promptly seize an
end board or a cart stake and pound
him on the head and on the ribs. If
this does not recuperate him, kick him
violently in the belly. This treatment
will restore him if persistently admin
istered. If a man finds his load too
heavy and feels that it will seriously
strain him to proceed, kick off a fence
board and knock him down-and ham
mer him thoroughly with the board.
This will give him renewed energy and
he will make no more fuss. But do
not on any account reduce the load.
That would look too much like COM
mon sense or humanity, and he will
be likely to balk again when overload
ed.
If a man refuses to drink when you
offer him water, don't give him any
water for two days. That will teach
him" to be thirsty at any time you
find it convenient to attend to him.
1t is a good plan to ply the whip fire.
quently on a man who is at work.
No matter if he is doing his best, hit
now and then on general principles
and to prevent him taking any comfort.
If his load is not heavy, oblige him to
go enough faster to make up for it.
Work him hard enough to bring down
the average life one-half as is done
with horses. If no whip is handy, use
a club. Tie your mans head back in
an unnatural position, with his eyes
toward the sun. This will give him
"fne appearance, and prevent
stumbling" Of course he will not be
able to DO as much work in this fix,
but it makes him wretched, so it is all
right.
In winter remove his clothing to
prevent his taking cold" He will
also "dry quicker" when you over
work him. You must hang blanket
on his back (but leave his neck and
limbs exposed,) when he is not at
work. Men thus treated are "much
healthier" than when allowed winter
clothing. If not perfectly convenient
to feed man who is working for you
at noon, let him go without, and, by
active use of the whip, secure as much
work as the food would have secured.
OF course it wears out his vitality and
distresses him, but that is no matter.
Put tight shoes on your man and
keep them there until he is very lame
with corns. To change his shoes costs
money, not much, but some, and lame
ness and misery are Of no account if
you can save dollars worth Of shoes
year. When you hire a man do not
be hampered by any humane notions.
Get all you can out Of him. True no.
biity consists in getting money, not in
decency or kindness, or what some
noodles term character. y Get money,
even if it is all bloodstained. These
are correct principles, | am sure, for
l learned them when a colt from my
master, who treated all his horses on
this plan-and don't he know whats
what?

ONE DIAMOND TOO MANY.
Diamond Pincher Collins Takes
George Stansfield's Stud
At the Deg Show Last Night,
But Wasn't Slick.
He is Arrested and Many Diamonds
Found Hidden About His Clothes,
But Not Mr.. stansheId's.

A bold robbery occurred at the dog
show on East Sixth street about $50
last night in which George Stansfeld
lost a 500 diamond stud, and a man
was arrested whom the police have
good reason to believe is "COOkoo"
Jim Collins, the notorious diamond
thief
Mr. and Mrs Stansfeld and party
of friends went to the bench show last
evening and were standing in tho
crowd about the pen where the dogs
are turned for inspection by the judges.
Standing on one of the benches Just
behind them was a young man well
dressed and rather genteel appear
ing.
Suddenly the strangers hat fell from
his head almost between Mr. STAINS
field and his wife and the stranger
made grab to get it,
In grabbing he appeared to fail and
was about to fall against Mrs STAINS
field. when Mr. Stansheld put UP his
arm to avert a collision. The stranger
then fell against him. asked pardon,
got his hat and resumed his position
In less than two minutes Mr. STAINS
field missed his diamond which he had
been wearing loosely in button mole
in the front of his shirt
The incident of the strangers fall
ing LllI4E0AaLEA1 came ~ AAA-7 A-----@-f
and Mr. Stansfeld said to his wife
My diamond is gone and THINK
that stranger got it, Watch him and
give the alarm if he tries to get out
L am going out TO find an officer"
J. P. Lucas, one of the managers OF
the show was also notified and watch
ed the man.
While Mr.. Stansfeld was gone Ser
geant Ellison happened to come in at
the door.
Mrs. Stansheld thought it was the
officer her husband had sent and she
said to him;
There is your man. Why don't you
take him ?"
Mr.. Ellison did not know there had
been a robbery and indeed not more
than three or four in the room knew it.
and he said: Il cant arrest him unless
we know he has done something"
Stansheld and Officer Owens came in
about this time and the man was again
pointed out and watched.
He appears to have observed that he
was being watched for he was very
nervous and took out his watch and
looked at it every few seconds.
In a few moments he left the place
and walked over to Kansas avenue and
north
The officers followed and near Fifth
street they arrested him
He pretended to be very indignant
