eye, small feet and black name and

poet, whose genius could then depict
his worth and describe his endurance
Of toll, hunger, thirst, heat, cold and
the dangers and sufferings through
which he passed. He could dilate upon
his sagaclty and affection and his inva-
riable response to every wish of his

Manassas, at Sharpsburg, Fredericks-
burg, the last day at Charlottesville,
to Pennsylvania, at Gettysburg and
back to the Rappahannock. From the
commencement of the campaign in
1864 at Orange till its close around Pc
tersburg the saddle was scarcely off
his back, as he passed through the fire
Of the Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Cold
Harbor and across the James river. He
was in almost daily requisition In the
winter Of 1S64-5 on the long line of de-
fenses from the Chickahominy, north
of Richmond, to Hatchers Run, south
of the Appomattox. In the campaign
Of 1865 he bore me from Petersburg to
the final days Mt Appomatto1 Court

He is well supplied with equipments.
Two sets have been sent to him from

Richmond. But think his favorite Is

Thiers, Fulfilled prophecy.

In January, 1871, NJ. Theirs made the
following remarkable prophecy: :"When-
ever England Is In conflict with for
elgn power Europe will see her colonies
rally and cooperate with her. Without
the slightest expense to her they will
equip their soldiers, their only ambi-
ton being to show their close union
with her and to demonstrate that their
strength and energy are at her dispo-
sal, just as her resources are at theirs.
predict this in spite Of your smile OF
Incredullty and although perhaps none
OF us will live to witness it."-United

The Paris Fountains,

The fountains of Paris are among the
most interesting features of the city,
and the authorities are careful to in
crease their attractiveness whenever
an opportunity arises. An experiment
has been tried by which the waters will
become luminous. A sort Of golden yell
low will alone be employed, but the
waters will assume the appearance Of
cascades of diamonds and topazes. The
effect will be attained by means Of
electric lights and colored glasses plac-
ed around the basins In such way
that the beauty Of the fountains will
not be diminished when seen by day
light.

Dread of DrudgerY.

Many people fail to get on In the
world because they will not do the
things that are disagreeable to them.
They gladly pick the flowers in their
vocation, but will not touch the weeds
or thorns. They like to do the things
that are easy and agreeable, but shirk
from the disagreeable or laborious.
They so round the hills OF difficulty in
stead of over them; they leave the en-
emy half conquered, and he is ALWAYS
coming up to attack them unexpected
ly from the rear.
The best way to overcome this dread
Of drudgery is to determine resolutely
to do the dlsagreeable things first.
Take hold Of them with yigor, as you
would grasp d HettTe If you Would

riority men charge our sex with an ex-
travagant zeal for bargains, but | see
enough Of business men to assure me
that they are just as eager as women
are to get an article at few cents less
than the usual price.
"Mr. A is generally extravagant
In his personal expenditures, but he is
keen after bargains. The other day he
came into our office wearing an air of
great satisfaction, and his jubilation
had no other foundation than the dis
coyery of a street stand where sec
onds' in lead pencils were sold at 2
cents each.
"If you know good pencil when
you see it, he explained, you can rum
mage in the pile and pick out and 10
cent pencils at cents each or three
for 5.
And that reminds me of another
bargain. You know the 10 cent cigars

down near the ferry where you can
get them four for quarter. just

at lunchtime and filed my pockets.
Great bargain
"And would you believe 1t, that man,
whose transactions run into the mil
lions, went on telling my employer of
bargains in clothes, stationery, etc,
and Mr.. B stopped In the midst OF
his estimates on big contract to note
addresses and to tell Mr. A of bar
gains he had discovered in neckwear
and shoes and household supplies.

Boston Boys Demand Their p,x,,.

Boston Boys Demand Their RIGHTS.
Ihe spirit OF liberty that prevailed In
Boston at the time Of the Revolution
was not confined to the men who could
carry muskets. Even the children were
ready to stand up for their rights as
Americans. An Incident that took place
In the winter before the battle of Lex
ington was fought shows this. The
boys Of Boston had been much troubled
by the British soldiers who were then
on garrison duty in the town. These
soldiers took great delight In destroy
Ing the coasting places which the boys
had prepared. AT last the boys held q
meeting and appointed a committee to
wait upon General Gage, then in com
mand. and to make protest
The committee was admitted to Gen.
eral Cages headquarters, and in reply
10 the generals question as to what
they wanted the leader replied:
"Sir, we are here to demand our
rights"

surprised. "Do your fathers teach you
rebellion and send you here to display

promptly spoke up the leader. But
your soldiers trample down our snow
slides and destroy our snow forts.
When we complain, they laugh at US,
call US young rebels and tell US to help
ourselves II we can. Sir, we will stand
It no longer"
General Cages surprise changed to
admiration. "You are brave boys" be
said. 60. and If my soldiers trouble
you again they shall be punished"
Henceforth the boys Of Boston en-
3oyed their sport without molestation.

WENT TO SLEEP ON TIE RAILROAD

With his mind apparently filled with
ideas of suicide, Frank Beers, keeper
at the Rosemont Cemetery, walked
out TO Irondale Thursday afternoon,
and after expressing his intention
to end his days walked to a point on
the Bloomsburg & Sullivan Railroad
out beyond the Water Company's
Works, and after draining a bottle
which he had with him, stretched HIM
self on the track with his neck on one
of the rails and went to sleep. w. X.
Pursel and Wesley Mordan had
watched his maneuvers and knowing
that there would be no train until the
down passenger train in the evening,
left him lie. When the shrill whistle
of the locomotive sounded the two
men hurried to the scene and carried
him to a place of safety. There is no
doubt in the minds of these gentlemen
but what he fully intended to carry
out his threat, as he was fast asleep
and the train would have been down
upon him IN few minutes. He was
taken to his home on Center Street
in the evening. There is no cause
assigned and it is believed that while
under the influence of liquor, of which
he had been imbibing for several days
previous, his mind became temporarily
unbalanced.

Yes Why Not2

Somewhere, in an old book, the
name of which l have forgotten, and
also that of the author or compiler;
l came across legend, that in the
early days of the colony, L tribe of
Indians or perhaps mere predatory
band, had their hunting grounds along
the northern border, and occasionally
came south in their excursion. There
was some statement to the effect that
the last chief of the band was known
as ON E-G A, and was frequently
on the Indian paths that led from the
North to West Branch, and was of
course familiar with the creeks and
mountains. Of his exploits or fights,
or raids upon settlements l have no
knowledge; but why should we not
rescue him from oblivion, and call
