The Other Man Dtdn,t survive.

The grenaders OF the famous "Old
Guard" will never be forgotten in France
as long as the memory of brave men
shall live in the national heart. But
some Of them at least were as bright at
they were brave. as the following trust
worthy anecdote, says the Youths Com.
panion, bears witness:
One fine morning, after peace had been
concluded between France and Russia
the two emperors, Napoleon and Alexan
der, were taking short walk, arm in
arm, around the palace at Erfurt. AT
they approached the sentinel, who stood
at the foot of the grand staircase, the
man, who was a grenadier of the guard
presented arms. The emperor of France
turned, and, pointing with pride to a
great scar that divided the grenadier't
face, said:
"What do you think, my brother, Of
soldiers who can survive such wounds al
that2"
"And you" said Alexander, what dc
you think of soldiers VINO can ihfiici
them?"
Without stirring an inch from his posi-
ton or changing the expression of his
face in the least, the stern old grenade,
himself replied gravely:
The man who did it is dead"

the county hospital, is a curiosity, says
the Chicago Tribune. The man has just
recovered from an operation performed
by Drs. Fanger and Murphy three weeks
ago. The last operation performed on
Burns was to extract a mimic ball, which
he had carried in his breast since the
battle of Antietam. The missile, which
weighed d ounces, was taken out and
with it piece of Burns breastbone,
measuring 2 by inches Burns was
born in Massachusetts,, and is IS years
old. He was the captain in a Massachu-
sets regiment when wounded at Ante
tam. When able to get out again he was
transferred to the navy. His present
home is Cincinnati, o.
Almost the entire vault of Burns skull
is missing and in place of the bone he
has silver plate 4 by inches. Over
this plate the scalp has grown. and q
| casual glance would fail to reveal any
lack of bony structure. Besides this re
markable brain covering, Burns lacks, at
stated, five ribs on the left side, and his
heart is shifted to the extreme right side
OF the body. Another remarkable fea
ture is that Burns has carried his silver
| skull for over ten years, and until few
months ago was employed as an engineer.
In 1887 Burns was employed as an engi.
neer on the steamship Savannah, which
piled between Boston and Florida. In
January OF that year the Savannah was
wrecked. Burns was in the engine room
| when the steamer struck rock. When
| the shock came Burns was thrown into
the whirling machinery. When he was
rescued life was discovered, however, and
he was removed to Philadelphia. 1t was
! then learned that both his legs were frac.
tured, his right arm broken, and five ribs
| were crushed, one of which penetrated
his left lung Last, but not least, the
| the top Of his skull was crushed.

England,s Hop Crop short.

A New York dispatch under date OF
July 10th, contains the following news for
hop growers: It's altogether likely that
the surplus stock Of hops in the United
States. held principally by brewers, will
have some serious inroads made into it
this year for export to England, because
of smallness OF the crop there, being the
smallest known in 20 years, and with an
average yield of 800 weight per acre,
which is above the average, the product
will probably reach 400 1000 weight, and
the chances are that this will be reduced
by the ravages of vermin which are re-
ported plentiful in all the hop gardens Of
England. II the insect holds until flow
ering ii me the yield will be further cur.
tailed.
Louis r. Seares, one of the largest
dealers, says that even with the most
favorable crop reports in England that
can possibly be made there must be large
importations from the continent and the
United States and the brewers will be
obliged to use up considerable of their
surplus of two years ago.

ssGo to Hell Like n MAN..

Indianapolis Journal: / asked Mrs.
Mary A. Liyermore il she had ever seen
anyone afraid of death, or that which
would follow death, at the actual hour
of dying.
Never but once" she replied, "and
then it was the fault of an evangelist. 1t

The Fastest Boas Afioas.

For two weeks or 80 past passengers on
the West Shore and Hudson River trains
have noticed near Nysck, N. Y. queer
looking brown streak on the river, which
flashed by all but the fastest express
trains. The little brown streak when it
slowed down was discovered to be the
new high-speed yacht Elhda, owned by
K. Burgess Warren OF Philadelphia. Ia
the last week the Ellida has been given
couple OF trials. and If the speed
claimed for the little yacht proves correct
she is unquestionably the fastest vessel
afoat. While the exact time made has
not yet been definitely learned, it is gen.
orally accepted at | :35 for the mile. which
is almost IS miles an hour.
The yacht was designed by Charles ID.
Mosher OF Norwood and Fieseen fame.
The Ellids, which is mahogany launch,
very much after the style of the Nor
wood. is so feet long, feet 4 inches beam
and has draught Of feet 6 inches.

Danger In hydraulic Mining.

The hydraulic giants used in placer
mining are not always the most docile
things Imaginable. At the Grant Bros
mine, on the North fork OF the John Day
river, Oregon, one of the giants got rift
the other day, and began throwing it's
stream of water, eight inches in diameter
10 circle. B. F. Grant ran to set the
machine. but was hurled aside like bit
OF paper. A miner named Berry sprsng
st the giant, and his arm was broken in
two places. But this brave action no
doubt saved several lives. The mig hty
bolt OF water, eight inches in diameter,
swung in every direction. One of Mr..
Grants sons, lad of IA years, was
sitting on a bowlder about 100 feet dis.
tant, and when the water struck, it threw
him 10 feet into the air. When the lad
fell, he struck on his head among some
ragged rocks, sorely bruising his face and
narrowly missed destroying an eye.
The men were rolled and crushed against
the banks and rocks, six of them being
badly bruised and cut. A young miner
named Montgomery had his shoulder
dislocated. being injured so he will not
be able to work for at least six weeks.
An idea OF the danger may be cleaned
from the fact that this bolt Of eight inches
in thickness, considerably larger than
the thickness OF common stovepipe,
was hurled from a pressure OF about 100
feet fall.

age, and the bride can't rest until she
goes through the regular routine con-
nected with it. No visit to Washington
by a stranger is complete without an in
spection of the treasury vaults; but il his
or her visit is nonbridal one the fraud
OF the package isn't played on them.
II don't know who it was in the de-
partment that first imposed it on bridal
pair, but it went, and it grows in popu.
larity every year. When the couple en-

in her hand, ii she hasn't asked for it the
very first thing. He then tells her that
the package contains Sc, 000, 600 in treas
ury notes, all in denominations OF &c.
600 each. The bride is delighted, of
course. and when she goes back home she
talks for weeks about having held $780,
900, 900 in her hand all at one time. The
bridegroom can't resist enjoying that
same pleasure, and he fondles the pack
age while, and the pair go away bliss
full over the experience, while the treas
ury vault man losses the package back
on the shelf and chuckles.
Now this is all simply gigantic fraud
on the young people. The treasury at
Washington does not hold that amount
of money. The bulk of the government
money is at the subtreasury in New
York. That bridal package is a gay
deceiver. 1t does contain notes to the
amount Of $40, 900 900. of the denomina-
ton of $4,000 each, but they're not
money. because they're not signed. So,
instead OF having held in their hands
$40 ,000,0 600, the happy couple have fon-
died simply a package that represented
no more value that the price of the paper
and the printing on it. 1t may be cruel
to shatter this pretty delusion, but my
conscience forbids me to carry the bur-
den of its concealment any longer Hence
