without leave, was tied by the feet by
order of Capt Leonard A. Loveing and

insensible soldier with his sword,
drawing blood at every thrust 4 deep
furrow marked by blood was left where
Hammond's body had been dragged.

MISS oulLFoRD's vow.

Said She Wouldn't Speak for Fifty
Years, and Now She Can't Talk.
The people in the southern part of
Hancock county, Me-, are deeply inter-
ested in a peculiar malady which af-
fiicts Miss Experience Guilford, an aged
woman of East BIuehill, who has not
uttered word or any audible sound
for so years. The original reason for
Miss Guilford's speechlessness was an
ger because she could not marry the
man of her choice. When she was 10
years old she fell in love with William
Simpson, the village schoolmaster.
They were to be married on June 1s,
1s47. One of Miss Guilford's rejected
suitors told tales about the schoolmas-
ter, and Miss Guilford's parents stopped
the wedding. Miss Guilford thereupon
said:
Il swear will not speak word,
though l live for so years, unless l mar
ry this man."
She kept her pledge. Her parents
died, and she went to live with her mar
ried brother. When he died she made
her home with sister, and after the
sisters death she went to camp in the
woods and kept house for a brother.
with whom she is now living. All this
time she performed her share of the
household work and did not show any
regret for having made the VOW. When
the so years of silence expired she
was visited by large number of rela-
Il
for the purpose of being present when
she was at liberty to speak. Soon after
the midday meal Miss Guilford dressed
herself in the garments which she had
not worn for half a century. At two
o'clock she stood up before the people,
smiled and opened her mouth to speak;
but, though she tried hard and got red
in the face in trying, She could not
utter sound. Her vocal muscles had
become atrophied from long disuse and
refused to work.
When Miss Guilford found that she
could not speak she sent to Bangor
for physician and took to her bed.
The doctor gave no hope of recovery,
but suggested that she be sent to a
Boston hospital for treatment. AS soon
as Miss Guilford gets strong enough to
take the journey she will make another
effort to regain her speech. Her father
left her a good sum of money at his
death, which has been growing every
year in savings bank, so she is well
able to obtain the treatment she TO
quires.-N. Y. Sun.

THE SILENT MARCH.

When the march begins in the morning
And the heart and the foot are light,
When the flags are all a-fiutter
And the world is gay and bright,
When the bugles lead the column
And the drums are proud in the van,
It's shoulder to shoulder forward. march,!
Ali let him lag who can!
For it's easy to march to music
With your comrades all in line,
And you don't get tired, you feel inspired.
And life is a draught divine.
When the march drags on at evening
And the color-bearers gone,
When the merry strains are silent
That piped so brave in the dawn,
When you miss the dear old fellows
Who started out with you.
When it's stubborn and sturdy. forward.
march! 49,
Though the ragged lines are few
Then it's hard to march in silence.
And the road has lonesome grown,
And life Is a bitter cup to drink;
But the soldier must not moan.
And this is the task before us,
task we may never shirk,
In the gay time and the sorrowful time
We must march and do our work.
We must march when the music cheers US,
March when the strains are dumb.
Plucky and valiant, forward, march,
And smile, whatever may come.
For. whether life's hard or easy,
The strong man keeps the pace.
For the desolate march and the silent
The strong soul finds the grace.

THE STURGEON.
some OF .eAe Points of singular1ty
About the Fish.

some Of a1he Points of singularlty
About the Fish.
The sturgeon is naturally an inhabi-
tant of the large rivers and brackish
waterof the north temperate zone, moro
particularly of Europe and America.
The Sacramento, the San Joaquin, Rus
sian river and the Columbia on the west
and the Hudson and Delaware on the
east are very favorable to its produc-
ton in great quantities.
The Importance of the fishery to San
francisco is shown by the amount
brought into the market, in the first
three months of last year, being TO-
761 pounds.
This interesting and curious fish has
many points of singularity. It's armed
exterior skeleton seems to point to its
being one Of the few descendants of the
ganoid or armorlp plated fishes Of the pre-
historic ages. The position Of the
mouth is much the same as in the shark
family, but its form and function is
rather that of the remora, or sucker
family. The flesh. too, is remarkable
as being = reddish and yellow and part
white. English fishmongers call it
"beef and veal" In that country it
is usually cooked by baking with .
stufffng of fine herbs.
There are several varieties Of the
sturgeon family, the sturgeon proper
(accipenser sturio). the beluga and the
sterlet being the principal. the two lat
ter kinds belonging to : the Russian
waters.
Some IS years ago there were mill
lions of surgeons in San Francisco bay
and tributary waters, principally in the
mouths of the Sacramento and San Joa-
quin rivers, where they lay on the mud
dy bottom feeding on CLAIMS and bottom
fishes. The Chinese, who have an In
ordinate fondness for gelatinous sub
stances, such as isinglass, sea swallow
nests, trepang, etc., imported from
China very deadly hook for capturing
the sturgeon, which they caught solely
for the marrow in its peculiar back
bone. They stripped out the backbone
and threw away the rest. Some of the
backbones were sent to China, where
isinglass is made from them and also q
highly tenacious glue. The principal
use, however, is for making gelatinous
soup.-San Francisco Chronicle.

ELECTRIC LIGHTING.

In the electric lighting field the total

is given as over $500, 00o, 900. The num-
Der of plants, public and private, is
over 10 900, says an exchange The num-
Der of motors in use is estimated at
about 100000, and their value at about
500, 100000. The electrical apparatus
used in mining is estimated at $1o0, 000,-
900, and the value of the electric ele-
vator industry will probably not fall
short of $15,OOO.00O.s
The most Important of all the cleo
