The Army Mule.

The army mule is the subject Of
many an interesting story. A good
one is told Of one Of Gen. Shermans
Missouri teamsters. He had just joined
the service, raw recrnit, and was as
signed to the service Of driving SIX
mule team. When the army halted
the first night he was YEARLY unhar-
Messing bis team.
Hello, there, said the wag Of the
company in passing. What do you
mean by taking care Of those mules
YOURSELF Why don't you have the
hostler do it2"
"Why, l thought every man bad to
take care Of his own team" said the
bewildered teamster.
"You bet he doesn't. We've got a
hostler for that. That's bis tent right
over there. He's lazy, contrary old
CUE, and he may not want to do it,
but you swear at him and he'll move
off at double quick.
The Missourian strobe over to the
tent indicated, which il happened was
Gen. Sherman's headquarters.
Here, you son Of gun" be rOared
at the general. fercely, get out Of
here and brush those mulesl"
Needless TO say, the teamster spent
the evening 10 the guard-house.
A pious old Indiana farmer wac as
signed to the duty Of teaming, proba-
bly by mistake. The road was muddy,
and the rest of the teamsters were lit
orally bombarding their charges with
oaths. II was against the old mans
principles to swear, and be held bis
peace, albeit in irnpotent rage. AT
last one Of the hind mules baked, and
refused TO advance a step. The old
man used every endeayor to urge the
beast along but to no purpose. tlast
he roared in a loud aud solemn voice:
"oh, Lord, you know where this mule
ought to be this minute. He knows
where he ought to be. ] know where
he ought to be, oh, Lord and If he

The Case OF Rev. Charles White.

The Parkersburg Presbytery, in ses-
sion at Kingwood, W. Va, last week,
finally disposed Of the case Of Rev.
Charles White, the deposed minister of
ClaTksburg, who was charged with un-
ministerial conduct in his relations
with Miss Minnie Holmes, the organ
ist of his church, who committed SUI
eide. Mr.. Whites case was tried be-
fore the Presbytery, and he was by an
almost unanimous vote indefinitely
suspended from the Presbytery. Mr..
White made a statement Of the case,
the substance of which was as follows:
Shortly after he assumed the pastor
ate Of the church at Clarksburg be be-
gan paying Miss Holmes friendly at
tention, which she reciprocated, and
on her part soon ripened into love.
They met at first regularly only at the
weekly choir practice, but soon she de-
vised ways to meet him, and, after he
removed his study TO the church, she
came daily to practice on the organ
and sought other places TO be with him.
He encouraged her feelings for him
through, as he says, spirit Of vanity,
but later married a young woman to
whom he was engaged during these
relations with Miss Holmes. His mar
riage instead Of checking the feelings
Of Miss Holmes only seemed to inten-
sify them, and she demonstrated them
TO him on numerous occasions. The
matter progressed for period Of two
wears and eliminated in her fatal visit
to McKeesport, Pa. While there she
telegraphed him to meet her in Pitts
burg. He did 20, and eoniesses tnat
they spent two days in hotel there
under the registration ofman and wife,
but he stoutly denies that at any time
| did he have criminal relations with her.
He says he spent a night in her room,
be sleeping on rug on the floor, and
did this only after continuous imPor-
tunities on her part and fearful en-
treaties, and then because be thought
her mentally unbalanced and feared
some bad consequences If she were
left alone. He declares that at nc
time during their friendship did be
ever have improper relations with her,
but admits that he did many indiscreet
things.

NEW VOL. 33.--NO. 40.
Columbus Bones Exhuned.

The official exhumation of the bones
Of Christopher Columbus took place
at Havana last week in the presence
Of General Blanco, Secretary GOWN,
the civil governor, the bishop, the dean
Of the Cathedral and other authorities.
The general public was ordered out of
the Cathedral at S o'clock. The en-
trance to the Cathedral was guarded
by force of public guards, who kept
back the crowds which assembled in
front of the edihce while the ceremony
was in progress. The ashes were de-
posted in a zinc case, which was
placed in the sacristy Of the Cathedral,
and permanent guard was established
to watch them. The bones of the great
discoverer are TO be returned TO Spain.
They have lain in a niche of the Ha-
vana Cathedral since January l9,l7e6,
when they were brought from Santo
Domingo, that island having been
ceded to France by Spain.
In 1892 there was placed in front of
the niche slab representing in relief
a bust Of the great admiral and bear
ing this inscription in Spanish
May the remains and image Of the
Great Columbus lie thousand cenm'
ries preserved in this urn and in the
remembrance of our nation.
After the four hundredth anniver-
sary of the discovery OF the new world
the Spanish Cortes included in the
Cuban budget large sums for erecting
fitting monument symbolizing the
achievements OF the discoverer, 10 be
put in the most conspicuous place IN
Havana, and for the construction of a
mausoleum to hold his bones. THIS
mausoleum, the work Of the Spanish
sculptor Melida, was brought to Ha-
vana and placed upon a base erected
in the centre aisle Of the Cathedral,
close to the main door
The monument, the work on which
was entrusted to the sculptor Susillo,
has not come, and probably never will
come, to Havana. AS just stated, il
was to have been paid for by an APP
preparation included in the budget Of
the island, but circumstances have
overturned the plans. 1t is probable
that both the monument and the
mausoleum will be put in a Citing
place in Spain, where they will be
looked upon as one Of the treasures Of
the Spanish nation.

Typhoid Fever.


Typhoid fever is generally regarded
at the present day, along with cholera
and some other diseases, as belonging
to the class of "water-borne affections.
In other words, it is believed that the
germs of such diseases are carried. and
perhaps propagated, in water. There
is little doubt that this theory of ty-
phoid fever is correct, and that in
tracing any extended epidemic Of the
/ disease TO its source We must first Of
all examine into the condition of the
water supply.
Drinking water has been proved to
be the cause of the spread of typhoid
fever in many epidemics in this eoun-
try and England; but there is little
comfort in this for those who habitu-
ally drink something stronger than
water, because, although during an
epidemic the drinking water may be
made safe by boiling, this is not
enough.
If the water is contaminated the
germs may be introduced into the body
while brushing the teeth or washing
the face. Or, again, salads and fruits
which are eaten raw may be contami-
mated by the water in which they are
washed. Typhoid fever has sometimes
been spread in city whose water sup
ply was above reproach by means OF
milk or ice.
Milk need not be watered in order
to become vehicle for typhoid germs
the germs may be introduced into cans
and bottles while these are being
washed in water drawn from a con-
taminated well or brook at the dairy.
Although destroyed by boiling, ty-
phoid germs will resist freezing tenn
perature for long time, and have
been found in ice cut from pond pois-
oned with sewage containing the ba-
cilli of this disease.
Another means of the spread Of ty-
phoid has recently been discovered in
oysters. Oystermen frequently place
oysters in brackish water near the
mouth of a creek or river in order to
fatten them before they are brought
to market. If this place happens to
be near the mouth Of sewer contain
ing typhoid poison, or if the creek wa
ter be contaminated, the oysters will
take the virus within their shells, and
so revenge themselves on those who
| eat them raw.
In some puzzling cases of typhoid
it has been supposed that the food was
infected by flies, which had carried the
germs long distance on their feet
strong argument for the proper care
of food in the fly season.
These are only few Of the ways in
which this disease may be spread but
they are enough to show that, 50 far
from feeling surprise that the disorder
should be so common, we may rather
wonder that we are not all its victims.

An old countryman came into a
small town in Arkansas a week or so
ago. He lived in the woods and his
last visit to town had been made at
the close of the civil war. The little
country place was then full of SOL
diers, and now after thirty years the
first thing the old man saw was mil
itary company marching to the depot
on their way to the encampment. He
looked in amazement and muttered
audibly: by gosh, them burned liars

He Was Patriotic.

The Burlington train bad just pulled
out of Hastings and the conductor was
working his way up the car punching
tickets and tearing off coupons. He
had got half way through the smoker
when he came to an inebriated man
wearing a wide slouch hat and brown
overalls. The man had all sorts OF pa
triotic ornamentations attached to his
person. The grip which he had slowed
into the seat beside him was painted
red, white and blue, and half a yard
of bunting was wound around his SOM
brero. Three Dewey buttons were in
his coat and small soiled flag hung
from buttonhole.
Tickets !" said the conductor.
Remember the Maine !" the pas
senger promptly responded.
Whats that ?" the official inquired,
not exactly understanding.
Cuba libber and prosperity, the
man in the seat returned.
"Give me your ticket, please" the
conductor said, ignoring the ford re-
mark of the other.
The passenger looked surprised,
Ticket? ?" be repeated, after the
conductor. "What do | want OF a
ticket? I expect this old road to rec
ognize patriotism and love OF country.
I'm goin in to Grand Island. Pass on,
mister Hurray for old Bill Shafter
You'll have to give me ticket or
pay your fare, the conductor coldly
informed him.
"Pay fare Thunder and hailstorml
Amt you got any patriotism in this
here hour of our great rejoicln at the
triumph of the American flag, ain t
you got no idea beyond your blamed
tickets and fares? I tell you | amt got
no ticket. l don't need none. We
have twins at our house last week, and
we named one Cuby and the other
Hobson. Look at that there gripsack
and look at these decorations. Go on
away. I want to go to Grand Island.
These is war times, and we must all be
prepared to sacrifice little.
"You can prepare yourself to sacr-
fee $l.39 or you can prepare to get
off this train.
What Git off? In spite Of Cuby
and Hobson?"
Exactly"
"You don't recognize the flag Of
your country-Dewey-the Maine
Sanndyaggo?"
"One-thirty-nine, please.
The sombreEo passenger looked
about him. "And do you men hear
that?" he inquired wonderingly. "Do
you hear your country getting insulted?
Hear the blood of heroes dying in
trenches gittin stamped on an treated
with disgust? Who is fer declarin mar
tial law an teachin this old railroad
thing or two about freedom an lib
erty an humanity ?"
Nobody stirred to help him. The
conductor reached for the bell rope.
At that the patriot weakened. He
pulled pocketbook into view and be-
gan counting: "ffty cents-a dollar n
a quarter, 3O-no regard fer loyalty
an patriotism at alI-fve, six an three s
nine there's yer money, oPpressor.
I'll change the name of those twins as

when he slipped softly in and made
ready for bed, but she felt for him and
