II first enlisted for three months, full
of fight and sure of victory, and look
ed so fine and tail in my blue uniform,
thought I'd go and say goodbye to
DR.. Miller's daughter. I was only a
common farmer, and she had another
beau, student at Amherst, but I re-
membered once at party, when she
had to choose partner she selected
me instead of Jim; so thought I'd
go and tell her I was off for Dixie
In the morning. thought maybe
she'd cry little as my mother did, Or
say something fine about my laying
down my precious life for the dear old
flag; but she didn'ss say much, and I
didn't stay long, for Jim was there.
RI Martha went with me out to the
gate. I reached out my big sun
burned hand, and she took it in both
her own and held it quite a bit, and
she said: 'Bennie, I'm sorry you're
going to the war; you're too young a
man, and too good a man to stand up
and be shot at Then Jim appeared
on the scene, and -I#went away half

hands and wished they were as big

bered that Martha had said I was too
young to die, and the way she had
held my hand still thrilled me, and
kept me alive and out of the clutch
of old Giant Despair, and I said over
and over to myself thousand times,

SLEEP AND DREAMS.
Aeassiz Worked Out a Scientific
Problem I'm His Dreams.

The letters on sleep and reams in the
Spectator" remind me of case in the
experience of AgassiZ, and which he
told me himself, though it is recorded
in his work on the American fishes. He
was studying a fossil fish in the Jardin
des Plantes, but had never been able
to determine the species to his salts
faction. After time he dreamed that
he caught the very fish, and without
difficulty determined the question,
thinking, as he awoke from the dream,
that he would have no difficulty. But
on returning to the fossil, something in
the dream had escaped him, and he
could no more determine the species
than before. The next night he had
the same dream, and again forgot the
essential point. He then determined
to take a pencil and paper with him
TO bed and make his note as soon as he
awoke. The dream came the third
time, but, to his surprise. on fully
awakening, he found the drawing made
and lying on the table at his bed
side, with three bones displayed in it
which We're not visible in the FOSSIL
and which solved the problem. On
returning to the Jardin des Plantes, he
obtained permission OF his friend, the
director, TO chip away a scale of stone
which lay on the spot where the bones
were in the drawing, and found them
there as the drawing had given them
1t is thirty years since Agassiz told
me the incident. but those who have
access to his history of the North
American fishes will be able to read
it in his own words in the Introduction,
and correct my version if my memory
has in any detail failed me.

SCANDAL IN BERLIN.
A Government Official Who Eeath-
cred His Own Nest.

NEW YORK, March pa Sun"
cable from Berlin says: A strange
scandal has just been revealed in con-
nection with the last emission of inn
perial bank notes. A few days ago a
bundle of 44.000 marks was found in
Berlin cemetery. Being to all ap-
pearances genuine, the notes were ad-
vertised, and, being unclaimed, the
police investigated the matter and soon
arrested Herr Gruenthal, formerly
foreman of the Imperial Printing
Works, who retired voluntarily last
year without a pension. He had been
plundering the State for years.
Subsequently further packages Of
notes were discovered in the cemetery,
the total being 100000 marks Then it
was found that Gruenthal had cur
rent account of $4,000 marks in a Ber-
lin bank and large amounts in other
banks, under false names. Frauds
were readily traced amounting to 40
600 marks. He has been specializing
largely and successfully on the bourse.
Herr Pobbielsky endeavored in the
Reichstag to defend the slipshod meth
DDS of the printing works. He admitted
that when new emission of notes was
made it was the custom to print 10 per
cent. beyond the quantity of notes au-
thoriZed in view of the fact that some
Of the notes are spoiled in numbering.
After emission and delivery, the Reichs
Bank surplus of notes is usually de-
stroyed, but for several years past it
has been stored in a Cabinet accessible
to Gruenthal during occasional alb
sences of the keyholding official
He thus obtained his supplies of
notes, whereto he himself affixed num-
bers, and, consequently, the paper
money he circulated and hid was not
genuine, though printed on proper pa
per and on imperial presses. Officials
are asking why the imperial office
prints 10 per cent surplus of the
notes, when 3 per cent is sufficient to
cover the waste in private enterprises
also why the excess is not destroyed
Immediately.
None dareS openly to offer q sugges-
ton, but it is rumored that the excess
was reserved to pay the debts of GER
tain exalted persons. This is most i'm
probable, but commercial circles are
puzzled on account of the astounding
fact that the same person has been
concerned in printing and numbering
bank notes and in destroying the sur
plus. The question will be raised again
in the Reichstag, and reform in the
Imperial Printing Works must result.

JUDGE SLACK TO RETIRE.
Resigns the Superior Judgeship
and Dean Of Hastings College.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 26-Su-
perior Judge Slack this morning re-
signed from the bench. and also from
his place as Dean of Hastings College
of Law. He will enter on the practice
of the law as partner in the we'll
known firm of Rogers & Patterson.
1t has long been known that Judge
Slack intended to doff the ermine. but
the reason given was that he desired
to devote his entire time and attention
to the law college. Last summer, in
deed, he entered into a contract with
the Trustees of Hastings College that
his salary as dean and professor was
to be increased from SO, 900 to 81, 1000

ADJUSTMENTS.

There was a good house at the Metro
politan Theater last night, the first Of
the Jerome Company in the farce-com-
edy. "A Jay in New York" 1t is a
screaming farce in three acts. AS for
plot, that was left in New York evil

the company is one of the cleverest of
grouped specialists, and it keeps the
audience in a roar of laughter through
out the acts. 1t is a clean thing, too.
very neat, very satirical and very mu-
steal also, with several good singers,
and all when in chorus are especially
good. The coon-song singing is of the
best. In short the company is a sur
prise in it's speciality work. Playing
at very cheap prices, the announcement
would lead one to think the company
cheap, but it is far from that, and the
audience last night was a unit in that
verdict, and approved by encores to
WEAKNESS and applause to a surfeit.
Jerome himself is a comedian and satir-
ist, and in burlesque of Mr.. Depew
makes a hit from the start. His wit is
fresh, his hu1nor novel and his jokes
new. In fact, there is nothing ancient
in the piece. Harry Taft one of the
specialists, is a wonderful whistler and
imitator-the best we have heard.
Maud Nugent, the composer of popu-
lar ballads, is a good soprano and neat
soubrette, and sings her song, Mamie
Reilly" charmingly. Clint and Bessie
Robbins do a double act of singing and
dancing, with operate burlesque, that
is notable; the German limitations of
the latter are extremely funny. Laura
Wilson and Carrie Massoney are very
neat in a double act. Clint Robbins, in
a female character, does some of the
most laughable of burlesque work, and
he is equally good in male comedy
work. w. c. Davis as Maurice Barry
more is successful in burlesque hits
upon a noted dramatic artist, and as a
dancing, is also superior. Nick Conway
is another good low comedian. The
burlesque of Sousa's band is a very
laughable thing, but the best of the
"take-offs" is that on the rescue of
Miss Cisneros, with Jerome as the res
cuer, Decker In this act there is a
good deal of praise for Cuba and of APP
peal to American patriotism, and the au-
dience rose to it all with will, evincing
a decidedly hostile spirit toward Spain

YOUTH.

THERE is no vitality like that Of
youth. 1t is grand. 1t is great,
and should be highly priced. But
when youth stupidity depletes vital
force what is the result? 1t is the
same everywhere. In all coun-
tries of the world. Weakness ensues.
First of all there are pains in the
back. often accompanied by fear, dread
of danger that does not exist and gen
eral restlessness. Then sleep that re-
freshes becomes impossible. This
weakens more and more the constitu-
ton till il is in danger of breaking
down altogether. But sleep must be
had The man grown old before his
time seeks a poor and useless stimu-
liant He should seek "Hudyan," which
will renew his youth and his energy.
This is only possible by asking the
Hudsonian doctors for help. Then the
story which the patient tells is always
similar to this:
The record-union., 1898-03-28
There are pains in the back.
And sleepless nights.
"Hudyan" reScues.
Refreshing rest had.
Kidneys and strength perfect.

'Hudyan" has thousands Of friends
in California, and it has them in all
parts of the world. They write CRATE
full letters to the staff of physicians
who lead the world in this special class
of diseases. If you have weak kidneys
why not try what can be done for you?
There is absolutely no charge for med
ical advice, and. if you will take the
trouble to ask, you have circulars and
testimonials sent to you free. Then
again. if you have a suspicion of blood
taint in your system, the ''3O-day blood
cure" surely clears it right out of the
system, no matter what the stage may
be- Ask for these circulars, too. They
are free, as "Hudyan" evidence is. But
don't delay. Get back that light heart
ed feeling of youth, and get it back
this week. Be a man and feel young

ALLEGED SHORTAGE.
But There Is No Apparent Ground
for the Rumor.

There was a rumor afioat in san
Francisco on Saturday that a shortage
had been found in the finances of the
Home for Adult Blind, in Oakland.
So far. however, there appears TO be
no ground for the rumor. There is
deficiency in the fund, because the
broom factory is running at a loss
owing to the existence of an unWlse
contract for materials, but this is
very different thing from shortage.
Expert Thomas A. Lewis, of the state
Board of Examiners, has been going
over the books of the home during the
past week, but has reported nothing
thus far that would give any appre-
hension Of loose methods. He places
the deficiency at between $4,000 and
So 600.

as soon as he should leave the bench.
At that time he intended to resign as
Judge upon the termination of the
Craven Fair case, then pending in his
court. That litigation was prolonged
until late in the term at the law col
lege, and Judge Slack, it was said, had
postponed his resignation until the con-
clusion of the present scholastic year
at the end of April. His double resig-
nation, however. was unexpected, and
to most of the profession and students
