WAR "REMINISCENCES.
GARRISON AROUSED BY A JOKE.
Trick of Two soldiers on n Libby
Prison Guard.

ZEAEk OF Two soldiers on LiDOy
Prison Guard.
A wartime comrade of Capt. Samuel
T. Hamilton, the newly-appointed po-
lice marshal of Baltimore, tells very
interesting story of him in connection
with the Incarceration of Capt. Hamil-
ton and himself ip Libby prison.
I'VE were quartered on the top floor
OF that hell hole" said the old soldier,
~and from the top foor clear down 10
the cellar there ran hatchway, used
in time of peace for lowering and rails
ing hogsheads of tobacco. One of our
fellows, who was good deal of devil
in his way, had occasion to visit the
edge of this hatchway one night and
noticed a guard in the cellar squatted
ON his launches, with his musket in
his arms and apparently fast asleep.
On the edge of the hatchway there was
a barrel with rope handle on each
side. This barrel was used asa recepta-
Gle for all sorts of refuse. This dare
deFii soldier quietly stepped among the
sleeping forms and touched Sam Ham
iIton lightly on the shoulder, awakened
him and beckoned him to follow to
the hatchway. Then he motioned to
have Snm take one handle while he took
the other, and in a whisper he said:
NOne, two, three!' and at the word three
both let go. That barrel was aimed
rsquarely at the head of the sleeping SEN
,tiDel, but by some occult means he
seemed TO realize that he was in danger
and suddenly jumped to one side, and
as the barrel struck the ground he gave
the alarm by firing his musket. The
shot was taken up and repeated by the
guards outside, and then two battalions
of artillery stationed over at Belle Isle
beIebed forth a volume of smoke and
fanae. In an instant the long roll was
sounded, and from the left to the right
flank Of Lees army around Richmond
could be heard the alarm, repeated from
regiment to regiment. There was 6
great commotion, and, of course, an in
vestigation.
Next morning when it was discov

from the upper floor an attempt was
made TO force a confession from th'

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inAamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

ANGLO SAXON ALLIANCE

War Would be ChsapIy Purchased, Mr.. Cham
berIan Declares, if it Should Bring
About this Desirable Result.

London. May 13.-The Right Hon. Jo-
seph Chamberlain. Secretary of State for
the Colonies, made an important speech
on public affairs at Birmingham this
evening.
Mr.. Chamberlain, after deprecating the
constant assertions in certain quarters
that Lord Salisbury was "discredited'
and the government weak and yacillat-
ing said:
"If foreign countries believe and act
upon those statements, they will find
themselves much mistaken and that cour-
teous diplomacy and graceful concessions
are not incompatible with Il firm main
tenance of the country's honor and in
terest."
Then declaring that he intended to
make Il "plain statement of facts, unfet-
tered by the mysteries and reticencies OF
the diplomacy Of half a century ago,
which, without revealing secret negotia-
tions shiuld be 'understanded Of the peo-
pie" Mr.. Chamberlain said he would
accept the judgment of the people MS
willingly as that Of the wisest diplomatist
in the world. Referring to the policy
sued since the Crimean war, he re-
marked that this has been perfectly JUS
tifiable,' but. be added 'the time has
arrived when Great Britain may be con
fronteu by combination of powers and
our first duty therefore, is TO draw all
parts of the empire into close unity, and
our next to maintain the bonds Of pcrma-
nent unity with our kinsmen across the
Atlantic" Loud cheers)
There is 4 powerful and generous ma

be, even war itself would be cheaply
