Loud Takers and Low Speakers.

Loud Takers and Low Speakers.
Funny writers and stage comedians
make the mistake of representing coun-
try people as very loud takers" re-
marked Colonel Leonard Ainsworth, Of
Kansas. "As a matter Of fact, persons
who are accustomed to the quiet and
solitude of rural life speak in a very
low tone Of voice, while those who live
in the constant din and nerve-racking
noises Of the city naturally acquire the
habit Of talking loudly. The reason for
the difference is plain. When you city
folks meet on the street you have to
elevate your voices to high pitch in
order to make yourself heard. 1 never
come to st. Louis or visit any other
large city that don't soon get n sore
throat from overtaxing my voice. Of
course, you who live here are used to
the strain on your voice and don't suf-
fer from it as 1 do.
''1f you ever heard an Indian talk
you would realize the force Of what |
say. l never saw a real Indian that
spoke much above whisper. He Illus
trates exactly what [ mean. The In
dian lives in quiet and solitude. His
atmosphere is not filled with noises and
tympanum piercing sounds. Conse-
quently he does not have to elevate his
voice in carrying on conversation. Your
city arab. the counterpart Of the In
dian, talks loud enough when he comes
to Arkansas to be heard in the hext
county."---St. Louis Republic.

TOWN is CAPTURED,
crusading Minero Make Success-
fui Raid on COffeeu

cru6ad1nC MlncrO Make success.
fui Raid ON Cofeen.
A Hillsboro, ILL.,, dispatch says: The
,ft-repeated threats of the crusaders to
!orce their way into the village of Cof-
!een were carried out amid great excite
nent Tuesday afternoon. For two days
e-enforcements had been pouring in from
I'll quarters, until 400 men and seventy
i've women were in the camp. They be-
.ame more and more restive under the
:igid exclusion enforced by the village
authorities and began drilling in the camp.
At O'Clock i'll the afternoon the attempt
% break the picket lines was successfully
made. They formed eight abreast, 400
trong, the Staunton band of eleven pieces
bringing up the rear The women remain
I'd in the camp.
As soon as Sheriff Randle ascertained
hat the march had begun he placed TWEEN
Y deputy sheriffs, armed with muskets
md with fixed bayonets, across the high
way. The other deputies were stationed
% guard the mine, where 100 men were
1t work getting out coal. President Tray
or went to point 100 feet in front of the
deputies and when the column arrived
ordered a halt. With regular step the
strikers marched on, paying no heed to
the order and brushing the village presi-
lent aside without ceremony. The depu-
lies received no orders to fire and the in
vading army marched upon them without
stopping or hestating.
The strikers in the front ranks grasped
heir guns and the column by sheer force
)f numbers pushed the deputies, many of
whom were considerably frightened, from
their places. President TraylOr ordered
the deputies to arrest Gen. Bradley, who
was marching in front with a green sash
over his shoulder. Two stalwart deputies
seized him and rushed him through side
street. They quickly placed him in a car
riage and drove to Hillsboro, where the
general was placed in Jail.
Meanwhile the strikers continued their
triumphant march through the little viii
iage which has so long defied their efforts.
After parading through the principal
streets they halted near al elevator, half
a mile from the coal mines, where they
were addressed by several speakers from
among their number while they awaited
the o'clock whistle, which announced
that the working miners had quit for the
day.
AS the picket line was broken by the
strikers Sheriff Randle ordered his depu-
ties, together with over 100 able-bodied
men who had been summoned by two
hoarse blasts from the mine whistle, to
form new picket line around the mine.
This was done and further orders were
given to shoot anyone who attempted to
pass the line without permission. When
the miners quit work. instead Of meeting
the strikers as the latter hoped. they went
at once to their homes. The strikers
then appointed Il committee of twelve to
hold a meeting and attempt to persuade
the miners to quit. Intense excitement
exists in COffeen and its vicinity. and it is
feared that blood will be shed if the min
ers persist in working.

A DISoBEDIENT PRINCESS.
Occasion of the One Call the Quee
Made on Another Woman,

Occasion of the One Gail the Queer
| Made on Another Woman.
An Englishwoman living in New
York City tells me how one Of her
friends in London (Mrs. Randall, we
may say, but It is not the name, incur
red her majesty's dlspleasure, says a
| writer in the New York Press.
The Randalls moved in the best of
society. but for reasons probably def
mite to the mind of the queen, her
majesty did not wish one particular
daughter to visit them. There is evil
dence that the queen mother remon-
strated more than once with the DISC
bedient daughter, and to no purpose,
before she decided to proceed in an ex-
traordinary way.
Which was like this: One afternoon
the inhabitants of Blank street. in Lon.
don, were aroused by great Gathering.
Those who got to the windows were
amazed to behold the outriders of the
queen, and then. In carriage of state,
her majesty herself. And further were
they mystified when the cavalcade
stopped before the home of the Ran
dalls. Because" said the English
woman to me, "Of course, the queen
never calls upon anyone"
But their feelings probably were not
to be compared with those of Mrs. Ran
dali above stairs when she learned that
her majesty. Queen Victoria, awaited
her in the drawing room. A woman
may not say that she Is not at home to
queen. however she may dread to
learn what ill fate inspired the visit.
Mrs. Randall, fearfully, but proba-
bly, with apparent ease, descended. Her
majesty was standing, attended. near
the door. Without greeting, she asked,
icily: This is Mrs. RandanY"
1T is, your majesty"
"The Princess - comes here often,
l believer
she does, your majesty"
when she comes again oblige me by
saying you are not at home" Mrs.
Randall bowed, and the queen depart.
ed Immediately.
Hardly was her majesty in the dis
lance when the carriage of the Princess
- stopped, and the queens disobedi-
ent daughter was announced. Mrs. Ran
dali came down again.
The queen has been here, hasn't
she? asked the princess.
"Ies, Princess -"
"Said you were not to receive me. did
she notT'
"Yes, Princess -"
81 shall come exactly as usual '"And
she did, said the Englishwoman to me,
"and her majesty never again attempt
ed to interfere"

Microscope as a Thier.Catcher.

A curious use of the microscope was
lately made in Prussia. 1t appears
that on one of the railways a barrel.
which should have contained silver
coin, was found on arrival at its des-
tination to have been emptied of its
precious contents and sand substituted.
Prof. Ehrenberg was consulted on the
subject, and he sent for samples of
sand from all the stations along the
different lines of railways through
which the specie had passed, and by
means of his microscope identified the
station from which the interpolated
sand must have been taken. In due
time the culprit was found to be one of
the employees at that station.-London

A Lake of Oil in a Region of Coal.

A Lake of Oil in Region of Coal.
A remarkable discovery is reported
from Alaska. Some gold prospectors
several months ago ran across what
seemed to be lake of oil. 1t was fed
by innumerable springs, and the sur
rounding mountains were full of coal.
They brought samples to Seattle,
Wash, where tests proved it to be Of
as high 4 grade as any ever taken
put of Pennsylvania wells A Seattle
company was formed and experts were
sent up. They have returned on the
steamer Topeka, and their report has
more than borne out the first reports.
1t Is said that there are enough oil and
coal in the district to supply the world.
1t is close to the ocean; in fact, the eX-
perts say that the oil oozes out into the
salt water.

WARREN'S ADDRESS.

Stand! the grounds your own, my braves
Will ye give it up to slaves?
Will We look for greener graves?
Hope We mercy still?
What's the mercy despots feel?
Hear it in that battle peal!
Read it on yon bristling steel?
Ask it-ye who will.
Fear ye foes who kill for hire?
VIII ye to your homes retire?
Look behind you!-thcy're nfre,
And, before you, see
Who have done it! From the vale
On they come!-and will We quail?
Leaden rain and iron hail
Let their welcome be!
In the God of battles trust.
Die we nay-and die we must:
But, oh, where can dust to dust
Be consign'd so well,
As where Heaven its dews shall shed
On the martyr'd patriots bed,
And the rocks shall raise their head
OF his deeds to tell?

Unaskcd Advice for Grant.

General Horace POrter's Campaign.
Ing with Grant," in the Century, deals
with the preparations for tine last CAM
paign. General Porter says:
General Grant had become very tired
OF discussing methods of warfare
which were like some of the problems
described i'll algebra as more curious
than useful and he was not sufficient
ly interested in the canal to be present
at the explosion which was expected to
complete 1t. About this time all the
cranks in the country, besides men of
real inventive genius, were sending ex-
traordinary plans and suggestions for
capturing Richmond. \ proposition
from an engineer was received one day,
accompanied by elaborate drawings
and calculations, which had evidently
involved intense labor on the part of
the author. His plan was to build n
masonry wall around Richmond, Of an
elevation higher than the tallest
houses, then to fill the enclosure with
water pumped from the James River,
and drown out the garrison and people
like rats in cage. The exact number
OF pumps required and their capacity
had been figured out to a nicely.
Another inventive genius, whose
mind seemed to run in the direction Of
the science Of chemistry and the prac-
tice of sternutation, sent in chemical
formula for making an all-powerful
snun. In his communication he as
sured the commanding general that aft
er series of experiments he had made
with it on people and animals, he was
sure that if shells were filled with 1t
and exploded within the enemy's lines,
the troops would be seized with such
violent fits Of sneeZing that they would
soon become physically exhausted with
the effort, and the Union army could
walk over at its leisure and pick them
up as prisoners without itself losing
man.
A certain officer had figured out from
statistics that the James River froze
over about once in seven years, and
that this was the seventh year, and ad-
vised that troops be massed in such a
position that when the upper part of
the James changed from liquid to 4
solid, columns could be rushed across
1t on the ice to position in rear of the
enemy's lines, and Richmond would be
at our mercy. A sorcerer in Rochester
sent the general word that he had cast
his horoscope, and gave him a clear
and unclouded insight into his future,
and added to its general attractiveness
by telling him how gloriously he was
going to succeed in taking Richmond.
One evening the general referred to
these emanations of the prolific brains
of our people, and the many novel sug-
gestions made to him, beginning with
the famous powder-boat sent against
Fort Fisher, and closed the conversa-
ton by saying: This is very sug-
gestive age. Some people seem to think
that an army can be whipped by wait
ing for rivers to freeze over, exploding
powder at distance, drowning out
troops, or setting them to sneezing; but
1t will always be found in the end that
the only way to whip an army is to go
out and fight It,"

With her cheeks atiame and her lips

As she leaned and looked with a loyal

At the steady flow of the steely river;
Fill storm grew black in the hazel eyes
Time had not tanned, nor lover sighed

And she ran and she girded her, apron

With the flag she loved and her brothers

Out of the doorway they saw her start.
Pickett's Virginians were marching

The hot little foolish hero-heart,
Armored with stars and the sacred blue,
Clutching the folds of red and white
Stood she and bearded those ranks of

Pickett's Virgininns were passing through:
Supple as steel and as brown as leather
Rusty and dusty of hat and shoe,

Fierce little Jenny! Her courage fell.
As the firm lines flickered with friendly
laughter,
And Grecncastle streets gave back the
yell
That Gettysburg slopes gave back soon
after.
So they cheered for the flag they fought
With the generous glow of the stubborn
fighter,
Loving the brave as the brave man ought
And never finger was raised to fright
So they marched, though they knew it
not,
Through the fresh green June to the
shock internal,
