burst open, and young woman rushed
in, fell on her knees at his feet, and
cried: Save him! Oh, save him! He's
my husband
1.-THE distinguished member of con-
gress was SO startled by the sudden ap-
partition, that it was with difficulty that
he avoided disfiguring his face with a
large cash. He turned to the intruder.
and said:
"'What's all this about your husband /?
Come, get up, get upl L don't under
stand you
40 general, for Gods sake, do save
my husband! continued the woman.
"'Why, my good woman, I'm not Gen.
Grant the congressman insisted.
"'Yes, you are; they told me this was
your room. oh, save him, general;
they're to shoot him this very day for
desertion if you don't stop them!'"
BY this time Mr. Washburne had di-
vined the nature of the situation, and
tried his best to soothe her and to eN-
tract from her coherent account of
her troubles.
Her young husband, it appeared, in
moment of uncomfortable homesick-
ness, had deserted from his post to GO
home and see her. He had been cap
1 tured, court-martialed, sentenced to be
shot, and the sentence was to be eXecut-
| ed that very day; she had heard of it
only just in time to reach camp and beg
his life of Gen. Grant.
Meanwhile, the commotion had awalS-
| ened the general, who slept in the next
room, and he now arrived upon the
scene from within, just as Gen. Porter
who had also heard the sound of en-
cited voices, arrived from without,
1.-The spectacle partook decidedly OF
the serio-comic. The dignified member
of congress was standing in his shirt
sleeves in front of the pleading woman
his face covered with lather, except the
swath which had been made down his
| right cheek; the razor was uplifted' in
his hand, and the tears were starting
out of his eyes as his sympathies began
to be worked upon. The woman was
screaming and gesticulating fraptical'
ly, and was almost hysterical with
grief I appeared at the front door
| about the same time that the genra
| entered from the rear, and it was har6
to tell whether one ought to laugh OIL
cry at the sight presented"
The poor wife soon had cause to cease
| crying, for her husband was rcprieved
and afterward pardoned; but Gen
Grant frequently REQUIRED to the scene
in conversation, and teased his visitor
| good humoredly about the eNtraordi
nary figure which he cut in the presence
of a lady.-Gen. Horace Porter, in Cen
tury.

KITTEN AND BEAR.

Pussy frightened Bruin Up n Tree
md Kept Him There.
Chris Burns, the veteran first SER
geant of troop ID, has kitten which
during the summer camping of the
troop at the Lower Geyser basin made
her home within the sergeant's tent.
Here, curled up on pair of army blan-
kets, she defied the world in general
and dogs in particular. When the lat
ter approached she would elevate every
bristle on her brave little back, her
eyes would glow like live Goals and her
tail would swell up threateningly. If
the dogs approached too near, she would
hiss and exhibit the usual signs of hos
tility until the intruders had vanished
from her neighborhood.
One day, when the camp was bathed
in sunshine and every soldier in camp
felt lazy, an inquisitive black bear came
down the mountain side and, whether
because he was in search of adventure
or because attracted by savory smell
from the cooks fire, began to walk
about among the white tents of the
cavalry command.
Suddenly the kitten caught sight of
him. Dogs by the score she had seen,

Walks on the Roofs of Houses and Gets
Into a Strange Apartment.
Edward Reilly, of 1900 King street.
Wilmington, Del, performed won
derful feat in his sleep. In his night
clothes he climbed from his bedroom
window to the roof of his house. There
are 15 houses in the row, and he walked
along the roofs of the row for half an
hour, then he climbed down, but climbed
into the wrong window. The window
he entered was on the rear of the sec
ond story of the house of Amos Brin-
ton, two doors below his house.
A niece of Mr.. Brinton's was slum-
bering in the room at the time, and,
awakened by the noise of his entrance,
she screamed when she saw his ghost
like appearance Her screams brought
Mr.. Brinton, who upon entering the
bedroom fred shot, which missed
Reilly. The gas was lighted, and to
his amaZement Brinton discovered that
the intruder was his neighbor.
He saw that he was asleep, and with
a punch awakened him. Reilly at first
wanted Brinton to apologize, but when
he found he had been walking in his
sleep and was not in his own room he
could not say enough to excuse himself.

KILLED HIS KEEPER.
How nm Elephant in India Was Pun
ished for the Crime.

Did you ever see an elephant
whipped? 1 don't suppose yea would
ever forget it if you did. They fre.
quently do it in India, because ele-
plants are very cbstreperous at times.
Recently an elephant, Abdul, was
convicted by court-martial for killing
his keeper, and sentenced to so lashes
and two years imprisonment.
Two elephants led Abdul to an open
space, and in the presence of the whole
battery the punishment began. The
culprit trumpeted in fear, and made
an unearthly noise.
There were II elephants on one side,
and the officers and men of the battery
on the other three. In the center of this
hollow square stood Lalla (No. ~, the
fiogger, and the prisoner. The latter
was chained by the four legs TO as many
heavy iron pegs, and could not move.
Fastened to Lalla's trunk was an i'm
mense cable chain. When all was ready
the major gave the word, and down
came the chain with a resounding
whack. Abdul roared for all he wns
worth. Fifty times was the operation
repeated, and then Abdul was taken to
q compound, where he was to remain
prisoner for two years.-Answers

Gen. Horace Porter relates an anus
ing incident of the visit of Hon. Il. B.
Washburne to the camp of Gen. Grant
before Richmond, whittier he had gone
for thepurposeo of fpresenting the general
with the medal which congress had
caused to be struck in his honor. Mr..

found himself unprovided with n look

hung in the anteroom of Grants dwell

his shirt sleeves, razor in hand, to COM

PET RAT ACTS MEAN.
Bit It's Tiny Mistress, Who Had 20 Re
Taken to the Hospital.


Children sometimes adopt strange
animals for pets. In Philadelphia two
little girls can be seen almost every
day playing with pair of tiny alli-
gators, and neighbor of theirs, three
year-o!d Violet Ricketts,, of 1925 Sum-
mer street, took great fancy to rat.
Last week she was carried to the Hahne-
mann hospital suffering intensely from
bite in the hand from the animal.
The rodent which caused the child's
injuries belongs to the neXt-door neigh
Dor of the Ricketts,, and was captured
in trap several years ago and tanned.
1t is in the habit of running about the
neighborhood, and for long time has
been a frequent visitor at the Ricketts,
house.
The child and the rat became great
friends. The other afternoon the lit
tie girl was feeding it when big dog
belonging to her father came in the
room. The rat became angry and
jumped at the baby, catching the little
ones hand with its teeth. The child'z
cries brought her mother, who tried 10
set the dog on the rat, but the dog re-
fused to interfere, as the pair had been
long friends.
The rat then turned upon Mrs. Rick
etts, who had n hard time to prevent it
biting her. She finally threw piece OF
wood at the little animal, and he ran
through small hole in the kitchen by
which it had been accustomed to go and
come to the adjoining house. The child
was taken to the hospital, and the physi,
clans found it necessary to take five
stitches in the wound.-Chicago Chron-
icle-

Truly Wonderful Pig.

Pennsylvania boasts of wonderful
blind pig. 1t was born blind and a.
the tender age of three months was
sold to n neighboring farmer, who took
it home in his wagon. The road was
not only crooked, but was cut by sew
eral cross roads, and it passed through
village with dozen cross streets, the
entire distance being two miles beyond
the village. The pig was turned into n
small lot, and the third day afterward
the little blind fellow was back with
it's former owner. There was no other
way for the pig returning home than
by following the road over which it
had been carried in the box. Still, as
dumb animals perform these feats by
instinct, blind pig would be on an
equal footing with any other.
