Refused to Express the Baby.

A South Slider called up the American Express company by telephone and wanted the agent to make contract to bring a precious package from northern Michigan. When asked the character of the package, the man at the telephone said it was 8 6-month-old baby. The person in whose care the child had been left, the mother being dead. had wired that she could no longer take care of the little one. General Agent Nosler told the anxious father that he could do nothing for him, whereat the latter seemed greatly disappointed. MT. Nos Ter said that 20 years ago the company accepted charges of that character, but the carriage f men, women and chi.- dren beea4ms risky and undesirable and finally had been abandoned by all the ex- press companies.

Dewey. View of AsuinaIdo.

Albany, Jan. 25.-At the Dewey din- ner at Keller's hotel last evening Will liam T. Dewey of Montpelier, nephew of Admiral Dewey. quoted from letter received recently from the admiral, who stated that Aguinaldo was fast losing his strength with the natives and could be disposed of as a disturbing factor in hurry were it not that he is bolstered up with false hopes that congress will refuse to ratify the treaty and that in some way he will personally benefit by the stand he has taken for independent recognition. There was no mistaking the sentiment which followed this state ment, and it is safe to say that the Dewey family is in favor of the United States keeping the island group which Dewey wrested from the Spanish king dom

ana rro-the van of Butler army. But she did not stop. What were the enemy to her when Hal was missing-wound- sd by a chance bullet perhaps and dying In the fields?
 With roar the house caught fire, and shower of sparks scared into the air and fell among the trees. A bullet pinged not foot away from Nell, but she heard it not.
 "Hall Brother Halp' was the song her heart sang, and she beeded no oth- ar sound.
 A branch, shorn off from it's parent tree, crashed down upon tfe heroic ,hild and bore her to earth. She crawl sd from beneath it, her shoulder bruised and torn and with sharp pains in her ankle that told of serious strain. She could run no longer. but limping was still possible; so onward she limped. At last the lawn was reached, and Nell felt heavy hand descend upon her aching shoulder.
 'Hold hard therep' cried 8 voice. "What in heavens name are you doing here?''
 The child looked up into rough, bearded face, begrimed with powder, yet not unkindly.
 "The babyp p' she whispered hoarsely. "I've come back for Baby Hal"
 The bearded man let the sword which he carried fall back into it's sheath.
 "Oh, you've come back for the baby? Come back through the shells and bull lot ah uir T tra n 1ar of Arc"
 "No, sir, I'm a Confederate. And please. won't you help me to find baby?"
 The big soldier caught Nell up in his arms.
 "Why, your poor little foot's out. !" he cried, land your shoulders bleeding too. This is awful"
 Don't mind my shoulder, MT. Yan- kee. Let me find baby"
 The Federal officer put his spare hand to his mouth by way of speaking trumpet and shouted in stentorian tones, "Has--any-man-found--a-baby?"
 From the right came an answering hail, and soldier came running out of the darkness.
 "We found oolored girl and baby over there. sir, he said "The girl had been knocked down by some burning timbers from the barn.
 Two minutes later Baby Hal was cooing, just as if nothing had happened, upon Nell's lacerated shoulder. Poor Phoebe, badly though not dangerously hurt. told how in flying blindly from the Federals she had been struck and disabled by falling beam.
 AS the story spread among the Fed eral soldiers they gathered around Nell, cheering her so loudly that Aunt Dru- silla, sitting disoonsolately upon her stump in the woods, heard the uproar and wondered what it meant.
 Not long had the honest old negress to wonder, for presently there marched through the woods a guard of honor surrounding the Federal officer who car ried both Nell and the baby in his strong arms.
 "Oh, chile, chilei' cried Aunt Dru- silla as she gave Nell her very heartiest hug. "Yo' done give me pow 'ful scare. But it's all right now, press de Lawd, an dem dar Yankees ain't so bad after all. ."-Chicago Inter Ocean.

The Astor battery, after an absence of seven months, has arrived in New York. In those seven months the men who were equipped by Colonel John Jacob Astor have won laurels for themselves and have earned a distinction for bra very and patriotic service that Is not surpassed by any other regiment that faced the music of bullets in the recent war with Spain.

KING OSCAR RESIGNS.
III Health Compel. Him to Take a
 Long Rest.

Long Rest.
 King Oscar of Sweden, who reached his seventieth year last Saturday. has provisionally placed the reins of gov- ernment in the hands of his eldest son, the Crown Prince Gustaf.
 While 1t is generally reported that the abdication of the king, who has been in feeble health for more than two years, Is only temporary, those nearest at court who are in position to know the state of affairs declare that he will never again return to the throne.
 The step was taken by orders of the court physicians. who claim that, though some Improvements have been manifested since the last serious illness in December, further participation in public affairs would prove fatal.
 Crown Prince Gustaf was born In June, 1858. His wife is the Princess Victoria of Baden, a lady of remarkable linguistic accomplishments and a lead CT in all charitable movements.
 King Oscar has already left Stock holm and will spend the balance of the winter in Saltoja, Baden.
