A STORY AND ITS SEQUEL.
Pathetic Death of the Grand Niece of
Revolutionary Hero.

The pathetic death in Brooklyn few
days ago of Mrs. Josephine S. Gerocka,
who claimed TO be grand niece of
Count Pulaski, adds tragic sequel to
one of the most thrilling chapters Of
the American revolution.
A member of one of the oldest and
most aristocratic families of Poland.
Count Pulaski was forced to leave
home on account of the conspicuous
part which his father had taken in the
Polish revolution. Although a Eere
youth he joined the Turkish army and
figured in several engagements be-
tween the Turks and Russians. Later
on he went to Paris where he made
the acquaintance of Benjamin Frank
lin, who was there in the interest Of
the American cause. Becoming deeply
Interested in the struggle of the revo-
lutionary patriots he offered his SER
vices. through Mr.. Franklin, to the
COMMUNICATIVE of the American
forces. His offer was promptly ac-
cepted, and shortly after his arrival in
Philadelphia he participated in the I'M
fortunate battles of Brandywine and
Germantown. In spite of his first dis
astrous experience, however, he organ
zied an Independent corps of troops
and took part in the famous engage
ment at Valley Forge. Although he
sustained a frightful loss of men, he
reorganiZed his corps and started
south, where a still more grievOus
chapter of misfortune awaited him.
At Charlestown, he made a stubborn
assault upon the British lines, only to
be repulsed with great slaughter, and
again at Savannah his troops shared
similar fate. In the latter engage
ment, however, the brave officer fell
mortally wounded, and his long career
of reverses ended on Georgia soil.
With gratitude to the noble count for
his heroic defense of her borders Geor-
gia has named one of her counties in
his honor, while towering shaft OF
marble in the city of Savannah pre-
serves the record Of his courageous
martyrdom.
Similar, in point Of misfortunes at
least, to the checkered career of this
illustrious prince has been the eXpe-
rience of his hapless niece, Mrs. Ger
ocka. Several years ago she filed
suit against the government in which
she sought to recover the sum of 81
600 1000, which she claimed that her
grand uncle had advanced to the Amer
lean cause. Unable to subStantiate
her claim, however, the suit failed.
after this she was given
clerkship in Washington, but on ac-
count of Indifference to her duties it
was necessary TO dismiss her. Unable
TO return to Europe for lack of means
she took up her residence in Brooklyn,
where she gradually sank to the very
lowest condition of poverty. For quite
awhile she sold papers on the streets,
but growing tired of this occupation,
which little harmoniZed with the gentle
blood in her veins, she finally resorted
to the desperate extreme of self-de-
struction.
Our American annals contain no sad
der tales of misfortune than the ones
which group themselves about the
names of Count Pulaski and his grand
Constitution.

Still Believed In,

In some parts of the southwest of
England curious superstition is said
to prevail. A hair is taken from a
maiden's head and passed through a
wedding ring, The ends are then held
by the girl with her first finger and
thumb, and the ring is suspended lit
tie way from the top of a half-flled
tum bier of water. The hand is held
perfectly still, but the ring is pres
emily seen to oscillate to such an ex-
tent that it chinks against the sides OF
the tumbler. The number of chinks
is said to correspond with the years
which will elapse Lefore The girl is
married.

The Black Cat.

The wives of many of the fishermen
in Yorkshire keep black cat in the
house, in the belief that doing so as
sures their husbands safety at sea.
On the vessel herself, however. it
would be deemed disastrous for q
black cat to be carried, as it is popular
ly supposed to carry gales in its tail.
Also, if one of these animals become
unusually playful, a tempest is always
considered certain to follow.

Drew Lots for Life,

A most affecting incident was the
drawing of lots by twenty-seven Fed
eral prisoners, seven of whom We're to
suffer the death penalty in retaliation
for an equal number of Mosby'S men,
said to have been executed by Sheri-
dan.
1T was painful scene," says Will
hanson, "and one never to be forgot
ten. 1t was not merely in spirit of
revenge that these men were condemn
ed, but it was measure to which Mos
by was forced to resort, by the brutal
acts of Custer and Powell. One of the
captives laid his head on the shoulder
OF comrade and wept like child.
Another prayed earnestly until it came
his turn to draw, which he did with
trembling hand. Holding up the pa
per and looking at it, his eyes bright
ened as he exclaimed: "Blank, by
God! / knew it would be So"
Seeing a drummer boy among the
condemned, Murphy Immediately went
to Richards and told him the story,
saying he did not think MoSby wanted
to hang q drummer boy, and asked
Richards to intercede for him. He
did so, and the boy was saved. 1t may
be said that he owed his life really to
his poor, old, tired horse.
Mosby said the drummer boy should
not have been allowed to draw, and
that there must be another drawing
to procure substitute for the boy,
who was released.
Again the prisoners were placed in
line and compelled to go through the
same trying ordeal, this time there be-
ing only one number in the hat.
The seven unfortunate prisoners
were then sent off under guard, in
charge Of Lieut.. Ed T. Thomson, with
oders to execute them on the Valley
turnpike, as near Gen. Sheridan's head
quarters as possible.

Gen. El{ III. Murray,

The youngest general officer in the
war was Eli H. Murray, of Kentucky.
He was a brigadier-general when he
was 20 years old, and before he was old
enough to vote he commanded half of
Sherman's cavalry force on the famous
march to the sea. At II he raised 4
company of cavalry, he was major at
IS, and colonel at 10. He was a most
handsome and gallant figure, straight
as a pine and tall as mast" After the
war he studied law and was appointed
by Grant Marshal of Kentucky. Hayes
made him Governor of Utah. For eight
or ten years he has lived in California.
He died last week in Kentucky. Gen.
Murray used to tell of his first sight of
the enemy. Leslie's Weekly tells this
story about him: HE was sent with his
troops to make a reconnaissance and
stumbled upon Il large force. He did
not have an accurate idea at that time
what a reconnaissance was, but he had
firm belief that it was a soldiers duty
to fight till he died. But his men held
different views, and they Scampered off
as quickly as their horses could take
them. Murray was sure that he had
been disgraced. Will you not stay and
die with me-? he called to one of his
officers. Not to-day was the reply, as
his lieutenant put spurs to his horse.
Murray, with tears in his eyes, hesitat-
ed one moment longer, and then, he
said, he realized that the commanding
officers place was with his men, and
he joined them as quickly as his thor

Hoods Sarsapari1la Cures - Disease
Completely Eradicated by This Great
Medicine.
The fact that Hoods Sarsaparilla has
power to cure n great variety OF dis
eases is due to its peculiar combination,
proportion and process, which enables
it thoroughly to purify the blood. y
great variety of diseases are caused by
impurities in the blood and it is by re-
moving these impurities that Hood's
SarSaparilla strikes at the root OF the
disease and effects positive cure
where other medicines only relieve the
symptoms.
Hoods Sarsaparilla has done great
good in my family. My wife's throat
was in terrible, condition, being COW
cred all over with sores. The roof of
her mouth was also affected, and there
was hole in the right side of her
tongue. Her lower lip was in bad
condition and her

she would now be beyond the reach OF
any remedy. The first bottle of Hoods
Sarsaparilla did not seem to do much
good, but before the second was gone
she was cured. She has taken three
bottles in oder completely to eradicate
the disease, and she never felt better
in her life than she does at the present
time. 1 will never be without Hoods
