Teddic's Advice.

The Blakes have summer home in
Willoughby, to which they have Just
returned, after a residence of six
months in the city. One of the first
callers after the family had got settled
was the minister. While the good man
was inquiring after the health OF each
member of the family, expressing his
pleasure at their return and explaining
how the affairs of the church were go.
ing, little Teddie, who celebrated hi:
third birthday, and who, during thei.
stay in the city, must have met some
body who was addicted to the use OF
slang, stood open-mouthed and appar-
emily drinking in every word that was
said. Having finished a general review
of affairs concerning his church the
minister started to tell about a book
that he had just finished. when Teddie
suddenly interrupted him by grayely
saying:
''Oh, go hire a hall"
1t is understood that even now the
worthy minister is sometimes possessed
of troublesome doubts concerning the

Sherman passed along some hours
afterward. when the commissary was
issuing rations, and found that the
colonePs men were returning on the
run from under the bank of the river,
where they had taken shelter from the
firing; and in few minutes nearly all
OF the lost seven hundred had rejoin-
ed. and were boiling coffee and eating
hearty meal with an appetite that
showed they were still very much
alive.

Chorus:

TTurrah, Hurrah. we bring the jubilee!
Hurrah! Hurrah! the flag that makes
YOU free
So we sang the chorus from Atlanta TO
the sea,
AS We were marching through Georgia.
How the darleys shouted when they
heard the joyful sound.
How the turkeys gobbled which our COM
missary found,
How the sweet potatoes even started
from the ground.
While We were marching through Gcor-
ga.
Yes, and there We're Union men who wept
with joyful tears,
When they saw the honor'd flag, they
had not seen for years:
Hardly could they be restrain'd from
breaking forth in cheers.
While We were marching through Geor-
ga.
"Sherman's dashing Yankee boys will
never reach the coast!
So the saucy rebels said, and twas a
handsome boast.
Had they not forgot, alas, TO reckon with
the host
While we were marching through Geor-
gia.
SO We made thoroughfare for Freedom
and her train.
Sixty miles in latitude-three hundred in
the main:
Treason fled before us, for resistance was
in vain,
While we were marching through Geor-
gia.

Remarkable Escata ding.

A remarkable feat has just been ac-
ccmplished by soldiers stationed at
Fort Sheridan, Ill. An improvised
rarapet thirty-one feet high was scaled
by means of pyramid of soldiers
Eighteen of the heaviest and strongest
of the men formed the base OF the
pyramid. Upon the shoulders of these
stood ten men. Up climbed six men
and stood on the shoulders Of the ten.
then four on the shoulders Of the six,
then three on the shoulders Of the
four. The huge pyramid swayed and
rocked unsteadily, but it hung brave
ly together Could it have stood per-
fectly upright the upper men could
have reached the edge OF the parapet.
But this was. of course, impossible.
To cap the pyramid and scale the
wall was assigned to Corporal Leary
1.-the, athletic infantryman. Getting
swift running start he climbed like
cat up over the backs and shoulders
of his fellows and finally standing up
on the shoulders Of the three upper
men he sprang upward, and catching
the edge Of the parapet with his fin
gers in few seconds drew himself up
over the edge and into the strong
hold of the imaginary enemy. The
whole effort required just four min
utes, and it must be recorded as q
truly remarkable feat, breaking, as it
did. the worlds previous record for
escalading by three feet. Corporal
Leary has been recommended for pro-
motion. Escalading has long been
recognized as of great Importance.
The soldiers of the different armies OF
Europe have been for many years
drilled in this particular branch of the
service. md some squads have become
remarkably proficient. This feat of
the soldiers of Fort Sheridan is GER
tain to be follow ed by attempts else
where in the country TO excel the rec
ord of thirty feet.

Bridget.

Poor little Oracle sat before the

and faded. her hair brushed back In a
plain plat, her cheek transparency
pale, and there was an expression in
her eyes, as they looked into the red
embers, that made Mr.. Folliott's heart
ache.

thought, and then he said aloud:

With sudden cry she sprang TO her
feet and ran sobbing into his arms.
"Oh, take me away" she exclaimed.

tears in his eyes.

And when Mrs. Folliott and her
daughters returned, tired and cross, at
O'Clock in the morning, there was no
patient Oracle to do the duties OF a
lady's maid to them. And a note from
their rich relative on the tall table eX-
planned the phenomenon.
Mrs. Folliott grew pale as she read
the curt words in which Cousin Paul
expressed his meaning.
I'VE shall never have a cent from
him again as long as we live" said she.
But Oracle, secure in his parental
love. was happy, and when she looked

plosion of the pod when ripe. Dried
pods, brought to Europe recently, ex-
