Antietam Cor Sharpsburg) was the
bloodiest and most furious battle, and
more men were killed that day than

Gettysburg, Charlottesville and
Spottsylvania, the fighting covered
three days or more; at the Wilderness,
Cold Harbor, Shiloh, Chickamauga and
Atlanta the losses were divided be-

desperate work began at sunrise and

She Lest Netting.

A distinguished naval officer was
telling this story on himself the other
evening to gathering of his friends.
At the time of his marriage he had
been through the Civil War and had
had many narrowing experiences
aboard ship, through all of which he
kept his courage and remained as calm
as brave man should. AS the time
for the ceremony came on, however,
his calmness gradually gave way. At
the altar, amid the blaze Of brass but
tons and gold lace marking the naval
wedding, the officer was all but STAN
peded, and what went on there seemed
very much mixed to him. Fearing
the excitement Of the moment would
temporarily take him off his feet, the
officer had learned the marriage cere-
mony letter perfect, as he thought,
and he remembered repeating the
words after the minister in q meohan.
ioal sort Of way.
After the ceremony was over and
all was serene again, INCLUDING tie

clergyman came up to him and touch
ed him on the shoulder.
"Look here, old man." he said,

"Nhat's that?' asked the BRIDE
groom, with something Of astonish-
ment in his voice.
"Why, I repeated the sentence

efforts you would not say it after me-"

He Knew his Own.

Carlyle, speaking Of America, once
| said thAt the North cursed the negro
and baae him be free, and the South
blessed him and bade him be slave.
His theory gives point to story told
in the Arkansas Thomas Cat.
One Of the old-time Southern me-
groes went to Boston to rake mis- for
tune. After q week Of walking up
and down, he found himself psnniless
and no work in sight. Then he went
from house to house.
"Ef yo' please, sah," he began,
when his ring at the front door was
answered, "oan't yo' glib p'or culled
man wuk ter do, or sompin to eat2"
And the polite answer invariably
was, "No mister; very sorry, but have
nothing for you"
All who answered his ring addressed
him >as "Mr.," but shut their doors
and hearts against him. Finally he
rang the bell ct brownstone front.
A gentleman appeared, and the I'D
man began, BOSS, I is starvin'.

exclaimed the gentleman. "How dare

The King Of Italy and the Peasant.

There is little story about the
young King Of Italy which is being
printed in the Italian papers, and
which is worth reproducing. The
King was staying in the country at his
palace in Racerrisi. He is little
known to tho psople there, for in his
walks about the neighborhood he al
ways strives to preserve his incognito.
Hence come some curious adven lures.
One day, while out tramping, he got
very thirsty, and seeing woman
milking COW in field nearby, he
went up to her and asked her for o
glass of milk.
II can't give you any of this" said
the woman, "but if you'll mind the
cow I'll go to the house and get you
some"
So the king minded the cow till the
woman returned with glass of cool
milk. Then he asked her where all
the farm hands had gone.
ooh, they're always running away
new to try to see the King" answered
the woman.
"And why do you not go? Don't
you want to see the King2"
Some one must stay and look after
things"
"Well, little mother" smiled the
guest, "you see the King without run
ming away from your work"
"You're joking!' exclaimed the wo-
man, who could not believe that o
monarch could be SO quietly dressed.
But whom the King put gold coin
into her hand she fell on her knees,
while he continued his walk, laugh
ing over the incident. March Wo-
mans Home Companion.

subduiug a Bully.

The following story Of how bully
was cowed on railroad train by o
nervy conductor is told by D. Eldridge
Monroe, Of the Baltimore bar:
II was coming eastward over the
Santa Fe railroad one night in the fall
of 1877. The train stopped at Dodge
City, =h;oh was then the most impor-
tant point for the shipment Of cattle
in southwestern Kansas. Some Of the
worst characters on the frontier made
their headquarters there. Quite q
number Of passengers of the true from
tier type boarded the train. Among
them was q fellow who particularly
attracted my attention, because Of his
burly form and COARSE, and I could
not help but think cowardly, features.
He was dressed in typical cowboy style.
he wore suit Of deerskin, profussly
adorned With tassels made Of the
same material. Bully was written
in his unattractive face and was
shown in his every movement. The
conductor Of the train, very cour.
teous and efficient man, rather small
of stature, named Bender, some time
after leaving Dodge, came through the
car collecting fares. Bender had
some nasal trouble, which made it
appear when he spoke that be was
talking through his nose. He drawled
out his words very slowly, and alto
gether his utterances were rather droll.
He approached the Doc Q City bully
and asked him for his ticket.
60 Got no ticket he surlily re-
piled.
"'Where are you going?' drawled
Bender.
"'Goin' where I please, and it's
none Of your business where I'm
goin," replied the bully.
you've got to pay your fare or get
off this train; and I want to know
how far on this line you're going,'
again demanded Bender.
"sI tell you I'm not tellin' you or
any one else where I'm goin', replied
the bully, at the same time placing
his right hand on one Of tho two pistols
of large calibre conspicuously display
ing in the holsters attached to his
belt.
"The bully during the oolloquy had
emphasized his words with the coars-
est profanity. The other passengers
in the car became not little excited
and were evidently curious to see
what the end would be.
"When che bully thus threatingly
gave his ultimatum Bender eyed him
coolly for moment in silence, then
passed on collecting his fares. In per-
hsps half-hour Bender came into the
car from the direction Of the express
Car with double-barrel shotgun cock
ed, and before the bully had time to |
offer any chow Of defence, Bender had
him covered, the muzzle OF the gun
being within two feet Of che bully's
face.
"'Now where are you going3" asked |
Bender, coolly drawing out the ques-
tion through his nose.
"I-Tm goin' to get off, replied |
the thoroughly oowed bully.
"a brakeman pulled the bell cord
and the train came to halt. Bender,
keeping his man covered with the
cooked gun, followed him until he |
saw him jump from the steps Of the
car into the darkness, at least 20 miles
from the nearest station. Then the
train moved on and the passengers re-
sumsd their normal quiet. ."-Balti-

NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, April 29.-The cotton
market opened steady with prices 2 to Z
points lower this being an Indifferent
response to weak Liverpool cables and
generous port receipts, but by 1890 the
whole market had been bid up decidedly,
with July at $50, or within points of
last nights close. Nevertheless, the
conservative members of the trade no.
ticed that outside supporting orders
were not as strong as of late, while
many longs were selling for profits.
Liverpool made a feeble effort to con-
form to the strength here, but soon suf-
fered a RELAPSE and closed net 1 to 215
points lower with the tone easy. Sus-
picion that large weak long interests
existed and that sharp break was at
hand, prompted selling for both accounts
during the rest of the early session.
BY midday July was off to $50 with the
market heavy Then came a very bear
ish weekly crop and weather report and
a tremendous estimate for tomorrow's
receipts at New Orleans. These infiu-
ences started urgent unloading of long
cotton, and not until July had broken
to 9.43 was there sufficient buying
aroused to check the downward rush.
For the rest of the day the market
was irregular. The close was steady
with prices net five to fifteen points
lower. Firm spot market news and rela-
tive strength in futures at New Orleans
helped the late market here.

market soon recovered to about the level
yesterday, at which prices considerable

sales brought about a sag from the top
and there were losses until a new level
had been reached. Throughout the ses-

a good undertone and the losses were
checked with little effort on the part of
