was such tried and trusty friend, and,
If he was 60, such congenial compan-
ion. He was always ready to go fishing
or coasting with the boys, or to take
the girls to drive; although he was a
bachelor and lived alone, and had
double carriage and the largest sleigh
on Pippin Hill-because he had so
large heart, Peggy said. He knew as
much about the wild things in the woods
as 1.-The Hunters Own Book" and ON
rainy day or when one had the mumps
or the measles he would tell stories
by the dozen-stories that were worth
telling, too, for he had been round the
world and home again." and knew all
there was to know about cannibals and
buccaneers and wild men, and all such
distinguished and interesting people.
1t happened that the only houses on
the tip-top of Pippin Hill were the Bel
fry Il suppose the Bells house may have
received that name because Papa Bell
always spoke of his schildren as his ''small
fry;" anyway, that is what everyone
in Bloomsboro' called it) and the old
Pigeon house, which had belonged to
this Mr.. Pigeons grandfather. The
houses backed up to each other, and
there was a mutual backyard fence,
SO, of course, iJ was very desirable that
the neighbors should be friendly and
congenial; more than this, there was
a mutual apple tree. The gnarled old
"high-top sweeting" was directly on
the boundary line between the two es-
tates, and the mutual fence had been
cut in two to make space for it. Its
branches were low and spreading, in
spite of it's high top, and they spread
very impartially over the Bells smooth
lawn and over Mr.. Pigeons orchard,
and dropped their delicious fruit-early
the first sweet apples that there were
almost as evenly as if it were measured
on each of their owners land. The
only difference was that the August
supRhine lay longer upon Mr.. Pigeon's
side. 80 the first red and yellow, mellow
and juicy apples dropped upon his or
chard grassland he tossed them up
to Christine in her seat in the low
crotch of the tree, the seat that he had
made for her.
1t was Christine who thought the
most of Mr.. Pigeon and he of her, be-
cause they both had twist, Christine
said. She would always speak of he:
trouble cheerfully. even jokingly. You
would scarcely have thought that she
minded it at all; it was spinal weak.
ness which had bowed her shoulders ano
twisted her head to one side. The
others didn't mind much when Chris,
tine was left out of things; they were
rough, merry set, but Mr.. Pigeon
had always remembered her. His
twist was in one of his legs; he had to
wear an uncomfortable iron boot, and
walked with queer, sideways mo-
ton.
When Becky. who was II and was
called the Bloomsboro' Budget. because
abe carried all the news. came homo
with the dreadful intelligence that Mr.
Pigeon was going TO move away. nc

THE FATAL BULLET.
BtoRowaIl Jackson's Death Was Caused by
This Little Missile.

BtoRowAll JackHon'S Death Was Caused by
This Little Missile.
I. B. Wheeler, of Highland Falls, N.
Y, now has in his possession the bull
let which 1t is averred killed Stonewall
Jackson, the distinguished confederate
general. Mr.. Wheeler's cousin was on
Jackson's staff. Early on the morning
Of May I, 1863, Jackson's division, in
accordance with the decision of coun-
ell of war, moved toward Chancellors-
lille. Lee had yielded to Jackson's ad-
vice to flank the union forces. The
stratagem was a complete success and
Sickles' column went to pieces under
the terrific onslaught of $4,000 gray
eoats. It was while accommodating in
the darkness that evening that jack
sons own men, mistaking their leader
Ind his staff for union cavalry, poured
shower of bullets into their midst,
and, although several pierced the in
trepid leader, 1t was the one in Mr..
Wheeler's possession that made the IA
lnl wound. The surgeon who ampu-
tated Jackson's arm threw the bullet
against the wall in violent fit of anger
and Wheeler's cousin picked it up and
carried it through the war. The former
confederate died long after the war and
Wheeler,while going through his effects
recently, found the bullet and it's his
.ory.-Chicago Chronicle.

The less a man knows the longer it
takes for him TO tell it. This fact.
has pertinent illustration in the coll
umns of speculation that are INDUCED
in as to certain appointments to fed
eral offices in Texas. The simple fact
is that the slate is not made up.
There is no one knows what the out
come of the matter is going to be
either as to the internal revenue col
lectorship of this district, the collector
ship at Galveston. the postmastership
at this place, the possible judgship in
case of Rector's retirement, while
even that marshalship over which so
much has been positively asserted is
not absolutely determined. All the
pie eaters have hope. All their
friends have hope that their hope will
not be hopeless one. Beyond this
there is nothing.

The changes that have been made
in the civil service law, during the
past four years, for the purpose of
keeping the Democrats in Office who
were put there when the Harrison APP
pointees were turned out of Office, are
not likely to stand. A vigorous adj
sault will be made on such of these APP
pointments as were made TO take the
place of Republicans turned out Of
office at that time. 1t is not civil
service that is objected to, but the
turning out of Republicans to make
way for Democrats, without affording
the Republicans opportunity to stand
the regular examinations and hold
their Office upon their qualifications
being assured by examination.

The colored brother has a strong APP
petite for pie. If anyone can
point to single act of the
colored branch of the Republican
party in Texas, by which the party
has been advantaged, it would be re-
lief to have the act mentioned. Only
small per cent of the colored vote
of the state goes to the Republican can
dates.as the election figures evidence
and yetthe claim is made in conventions
and at the pie counter for the whole
mass of the colored voters as within
the Republican pale. The colored ele-
ment of the Republican party in Texas
is not source of strength to it, GER
tain1y not such gain that it has
claim upon the best federal offices.
