Where roads Are Venerated

At the ancient church of St. Michael, at Schwartz, in the TyroI, the sacred edifice is invaria bly, kept securely closed on the evening before every great festival, and the simple peas antry of the district are convinced that on these occasions, when no one is present, an immense toad comes crawl ing before the altar, where it kneels and prays, weeping bitterly. No one ever hurts & toad in the TyroI, for the population is imbued with the belief that toads are for the most part good Christians who have made vows to go on pilgrimages and who have died without fulfilling their pledges. So the poor creatures go hopping about astray, bewildered and perplexed, striving to find their way to shrines, which perchance have long ceased to exist.

ELECTRICITY AND WINE.
rhe Current Is Now Employed In the Process of Aging the
 Grape Juice.

Italian wine merchants have reason to congratulate themselves on the in troduction of the electrical process for the aging of wines in the wine-pro- ducing provinces of Italy. The process is said 90 render possible extraordi- nary notifications in the bouquet and body of the vintage, and the suggestion has been made that it might be em- ployed with advantage also in the cor rection of faults frequently apparent in California wines arising from the richness of the soil on which the grapes have grown. But the tempering of wine is only one of the many uses to which electricity is now put in the wine producing industry. In an establish ment in Algeria, where the Arab labor was uncertain and unsatisfactory, generating plant has been erected for doing the whole work. The current from the dynamo is utilized for lighting purposes and for the operation of sev- en electric motors ranging from two to ten effective horsepower. One motor drives one-ton crane, which lifts ht>xes of grapes from the ground floor to the beating room, three motors oper- ate the beaters and presses, and the re- roaining three are coupled direct to centrifugal pumps, which keep the must moving in the tuns.

fought the >Trg1n1ans with gun ram- mers, handspikes, pistols and sabers. After the battery horses had all been cut down and thirty out of thirty-six battery men killed, wounded or cap tured the guns fell as trophies to the Virginians. Whyte, in turn, was sur rounded and had to cut his way out, leaving the guns behind.
 The section of guns taken and lost by Whyte was afterward captured in a charge of Wade Hampton's brigade, which Stuart brought up from Bu- ford's battlefield. The right section of the, same battery was charged by the Sixth Virginia cavalry, but the New Workers defended the guns against saber and pistol, killing the Virginia color bearer. Stuart brought up Hamp- tons brigade on the gallop. and when it sighted the hill the crest was cov- cred with troopers in blue. Fitzpatrick was there with the First Maine and Tenth New York, and the Jerseymen still held their ground. Fitzpatrick ad- vanced to meet Hampton at gallop, and the two columns reeled and sway ed in hand to hand fight until the field was yelled in clouds of smoke.
 Hampton won the day and saved the hill finally for Stuart. This stroke checked the advance of Buford, and the Confederates turned their whole energy upon Gregg. Before the incl dent closed, however, the Jerseymen rode into Hart's Virginia battery and met with reception. like that given to

the doctor came upon the scene. Matt was in a semi-stupor and seemed unable to recognize even his most intimate friends and relatives. The condition of his health was dis cussed and the visitors were unani- nous in expressing the belief that death was inevitable.
 When Matt heard this he rose from his pillow as if by magic and ex- claimed in terms far more forcible than elegant that he was not dead man, nor did he intend to die. Then, suddenly realizing that he had recov. cred his voice, he apologized profuse- ly for the abuse he had heaped upon his physician and friends and became fervent in his thanks for their presence. ,s.~-.
 Had you not come," said he. "and made me angry I do not believe would have recovered my voice.
 From that moment his recovery has been rapid, and in few days he will resume his old place with James J. Hills railroad.

The cannoneers turn ed from their pieces with sponge staffs, pistols and spikes, whatever lay at hand, and beat off the assailants, kill ing the Jersey colonel and wounding the major in a hand to hand struggle. While the fight ragged on the hill smoke and dust obscured the colors, and the combatants could scarcely identify friend and foe. A Virginia trooper ran into a Federal colonel and apologized by saying, 'I can't tell you Tanks from our folks" ...

 You must know that I myself was very near dying some few weeks ago. We had a drink of kummel together, and I was feeling so blue that I re- marked that it would probably be the last I should ever take. She secuted the idea and said that I'd be drinking kummel when she would be dead.
 "Her good humor so cheered me that I willingly consented to enter com pact she proposed. The compact was simply this: The one who lived longest would offer to give the others corpse glass of our favorite drink. Friends, I'm going to do that now"
 Jensen approached the corpse with a glass of kummel in his hand.
 "Auntie," he said. standing over the coffin, "it's my treat; have drink. No answer, auntie? We'll, I'll drink it my self"
 He tossed the, drink off, and the service proceeded in conventional fash ion, prayers for the dead being offered by the officers of the union.

NOT UP ON CLASSICS.
A Telegraph Message That Was Ter ribly Translated d by the
 Operator.

A well-known literary woman went ever to Michigan to prepare her sum- mer cottage for occupancy during the summer. Before going she made ar engagements with her husband to have a lot of household goods packed and for warded by steamer, relates the Chicago Tribune.
 For some reason the shipment was delayed, and she wrote inquiring the cause of the delay.
 "Please wire me when the goods have been shipped" she said in con cIusion.
 The husband went hard to work and personally saw the books, hangings, and other property packed for the trip. Then he went down to the dock and saw them safely on board the boat. Coming back from the river he stopped at telegraph office and sent the message as requested.
 'Lares and Penates on board boat" he said. twill arrive tomorrow morn ing"

shot dead instantly while striking his foe with saber. Stuart sent the bri- gades of Wade Hampton and J. E. Jones to meet Buford and Colonel M. 0. Buffers South Carolina regiment of to his right rear to guard Brandy station, on the railroad. Having seen his last gun and tent removed from Fleetwood, Stuart rode out to direct the I light with Buford, leaving Major Mo RClelland, his adjutant general, on the hill to represent his headquarters.
 S Two hours after Stuart left the hill scout brought word to Major Mo- sCIelland that column of Federals had crossed over Kelly's ford and was marching toward Brandy station, hgainst Fleetwood hill, and threaten hg to cut Stuart off from Fleetwood nd the roads to Culpeper. The major efused at first to credit the news, but while disputing with the scout he saw long mounted column of troopers in blue pressing toward the station. Fleetwood was the key to the position hnd would not be overlooked by the kctive enemy. Fortunately a pound er howitzer had withdrawn from the light at Beverly's ford on account of imperfect ammunition and halted at he bottom of Fleetwood hill. This nun was pushed to the crest and with ome imperfect shell and few round hot found in the chest McClelland pened slow fire upon the marching pIur6n of Federals and sent couriers Stuart for help.
 THe sudden fire from the hill was as lJeh surprise to the commander of
 KeIly's ford column, General regg, as Davis encounter with the Virginia cavalry had been to Buford Beverly's ford. Gregg had not seen Confederate on his march up from ae ford and knew nothing of Buford's Uht off on the right. McClelland's Dol and steady firing deceived Gregg. e might have taken the hill with a uuadron at the outset, for there was one to oppose excepting the major ud a battery officer with a few men the howitzer.

 WUNE 9, 1868, the first cavalry bat
 tie of the war was fought near q the Rappahannock, above Fred
 ericksburg, Va. About 10000 sa- bers and forty guns of horse artillery took part. The fight was a surprise all around and resulted in a melee, or series of isolated combats between regi- ments and brigades of horsemen, with countless feats of personal daring and fierce passages at arms.
 For some days Jeb Stuart had made his cavalry headquarters on an eleva- ton beyond the river known as Fleet wood hill. Several roads crossing the river at Beverly's and Kelly's lords lead in the direction of Fleetwood and on to Culpeper Court House. Stuart broke his bivouac on the morning of the 9th to march to Culpeper, and at the same time two columns of Federal cavalry under Pleasonton crossed at the lords to reconnoiter around Gull peper. The column crossing at Bever- ly's ford was led by General Buford. It fell in with the enemy soon after crossing and drove him back toward Fleetwood This line immediately be- came the battle front for Stuart and Fleetwood hill his rear.
 Buford's advance guard at the cross ing was led by Grimes" Davis of the Eighth New York cavalry. Davis was killed in a duel with Lieutenant Allen of the Sixth Virginia cavalry, being

Milky Sen Not Understood.

The milky sea, as it is known to ma- riners, is not yet fully understood. It seems to be most common in the trop- ical waters of the Indian ocean, and is described as weird, ghastly and awe inspiring, and as giving the observer on shipboard the sensation of passing through sort of luminous fog in which sea and sky seem to join and all sense of distance is lost. The phenom- enon is probably due to some form of phosphorescence.-Chicago Post.
