McNeal's ingalls, Story.

In this weeks Mail and Breeze Tom
McNeal tells this story on ex-senator
John J. Ingalls,: In certain doctors
office was skeleton which had been
so rugged up with wires and strings
that on pulling cord the skeleton
would begin to toss its arms and legs
about in the most weird and fantastic
manner. On one occasion a cOlored
bootblack was taken into the private
office of the physician and permitted to
look at the bones of the departed. As
the young African was looking curl
onsly on the skeleton it suddenly be-
gan to dance and throw its arms about
in manner that almost paralyzed the
boy with fear He stood for moment
as if rooted to the spot, and then, with
a yell of terror, broke for the door and
down the stairs. AS he dashed around
the corner he almost ran against Sena-
tor Ingalls,. He glanced at the lean
form of the senator and then giving
another yell, bounded on. Ingalls,,
noticing the fright of the boy, called to
him and asked what was the matter.
"Come here" said the senator, "and
tell me the trouble"
"No, sah,'' said the boy, shying off.
"Dar dom no ghostes nur skillitions git
der hams on me-"
"Well, I am no ghost or skeleton.
What are you talking about, young
manp"
"Huh! Amt yo' dat skilliton what

Lincoln's secretary of state, Seward,
who was highly polished, cultivated
and dignified gentleman, lived under
the impression that although Lincoln
was elected to be president he was
utterly untitled for the task (by the
way, Mr.. Seward was only one of the
many who had this bigoted. d.impression)
and Mr.. Seward was, not only willing,
but most eager, even without the
salary attached, to crown himself the
president de facto.
But he reckOned without his host
and soon found out that Abraham Lin
coin was president both de jure and
de factO.
Thus we learn that though man
may not be dignifed, which is only
more polite term for cOnceit, or have
much 'book larnin'," it is no crime for
him, nor even to his discredit, to assert
his rights against the dignified, the
polished and highly educated, who by
intrigue seek to deprive him of and
ueny Cnem TO him.
Truly there is silver lining or a
gold lining (for the benefit of the gold
bugs) behind every cloud. and while it
is true that the deeds of good man
are seldom or never recognized during
his life, there is this redeemng feature,
that his opposite, the deceiver and
hypocrite, is usually exposed before he
has run his full evil course.
1t has been my privilege to witness
one of the most complete vivisections
that such an Individual was ever sub
jected to: who was SO cowed and sub
Jugated by the disclosure of his iniqui
ties to satisfy his personal ambition,
that he made the least attempt to re
flute or deny the charges that were
flung into his face.
Such exposures are a blessing to
humanity and their value can not be
Overestimated What such indiyidu.
ais are capable of, it is beyond my
ability to depict, but we can Judge
v,
which is their nature, they succeed in
gaining some office, they make its
facilities subservient for the spreading
out of the personal venom that boils
within them, with statements devoid
of the least foundation of truth and
fact against those who have little or
no influence, on the one hand; and on
the other, with fawning and fiattery
for those whom they consider essen
tials for the successful elimination of
their selfish and artful purposes.
When they have reached that state
they are more to be pitled than con
demned; for theirs, alas, is a sorry
plight in which no humane person
finds delight.
And so [ say (as Jadam has it, let us
love one another and be kind, gener-
Gus, forbearing and forgiving towards
those who have the misfortune to be
afflicted with that or any other weak
ness, and we, as we'll as they, will be
better and happier for it-as Cowper
has so we'll expressed in the following
words, which [ pray you will permit
me to quote:
Happy the man who sees God employed
In all the good and i'll that checker life;
Resolving all events, with their effects
And manifold results, into the will
And arbitration wise of the Supreme"

How quick the world will kick a mau

They ask not how it came to pass;
They know he's dOwn-that's all.
How quick loved friend proves tickle,
He too the rumor hears;
How eager he to fOrsake one,
All for his hopes and fears.
He asks not the why's or the wherefores;
The world decided these.
The knowledge had come as usual,
Waited upon the breeze.
But what means this change of feeling,
This world that smiles once more?

My Experience With "Bones"

spent the winter of 1S- in small
backwOods town Inlet us say-the
state of N, and it was my good
fortune to become acquainted with a
certain person in this town who after
wards played very important part in
the only experience 1 ever had with
highway men.
This person was man not over five
feet three inches in height, weighing
probably one hundred and ten pounds;

the position of village school teacher.
The girls adored him, especially one,
of whom shall speak hereafter; but
the boys had given him the descrip.
tive name of "Bones," and by this
name shall refer to him.
1t did not take me long to learn that
"Bones" was deeply in love with the
young lady before mentioned and 1
could not but admire his taste. She
was about five feet ten inches in
height, weighed not less than two
hundred pounds, red hair, freckled to
a degree, pug nose, and wore num-
Der s shoe Taken all around she was
a peach. But the old adage about the
course of true love not running smooth
proved true again.

had another lover in the person of
stalwart son of Odin, who, when he
found how matters stood, promptly
proceeded to get rid of his disagreeabe
rival and 1 really had to admire his
promptness while regretting to see
"Bones" misused, for I had begun to
get liking for him.
One night he was unceremoniously
ducked in the horse pond and told to
leave for parts unknown, which he
very sensibly did. For the benefit of
the fair sex [ will state here that
"Beauty" took his desertion calmly
and is now the mother of nine sturdy
imps of mischief. "BOnes" 1 never
expected to see again, but unfortu-
nately for me [ was disappointed.
Some months later l paid my first
visit to New York and while taking in
the sights whom should 1 meet but
"Bones." He was dressed in the height
of fashion and greeted me cordially.
He offered to be my escort and show
me the town. I accepted, thankfully,
but l have bad scar to show for my
trust in too chance acquaintance;

dinner at Delmonico's, we started.
