THE ELIXIR OF YoUTH.-Every age
sees its earnest scientists still seeking
how they. may discover the elixir OF
the force which shall give US the en-
ergy, the vitality and the appearance
of youth. A German who has been
struggling with the subject Is con-
vinced that the secret lies in keeping
sound our blood-vessels. We are just
as old as our hearts, he declares; and
this is no poetical sentiment, but a
cold, scientific fact. AS years creep on
our arteries and the heart lose vigor,
and we then begin to age" Now, we
can train this organ, it appears, to
work better than 1t does. Like an old
clock. II treated judiciously, 1t Will go
on as we'll as a new one, but 1t does
not do to give 1t any Of the liberties
of the latter. We must carefully regu-
late the exercise we take, the food we
eat, the moral efforts we make, the
muscular work we do. We should
neither walk too much nor too little;
we should get as much air as possible,
yet never oversleep; we should never
coddle, still less should we be rash
about colds, fatigue and so Onion

with a negro man (Weaver George)
whom he made his body servant.

lease old Gum Toz Moore" Thos.
Clendennen, and Charles Curry. who
had been taken prisoners the evening
before, and put In an old corn crib,
guarded by British soldier, they
found the tables turned; for the old
men were so inspired by the sight of
the battle and the success OF the
Wings that they had seized the mus
ket belonging to the guard and held
him prisoner.
CO. a, The afternoon after the bat
tie at Williamson's. some ladies came
to administer to the wounded. Among
them was old Mrs. William Adair. who
seeing a British officer Captain An

Captain, on yesterday when you
passed my house, you ordered me TO
bring you my Rebel sons. Here, sir,
are two of them" He was much
chagrined and ashamed and only re-
piled, Yes, madam, see them"
b. The writer recollects a fine Eng
lish (grey) mare his father received as
his share Of the spoils. General John
Adair, told the writer. that he. on the
same occasion, came into possession
Of a fine silver mounted gun and
roam horse.

Griggs, adding: 81 wonder IL they have

"Has anybody reen to see 'em?"
asked Callahan.
There's a notion for you. Scott"
said Brodrick Scott was the presid-

Get up a committee from the Fedora
tive to go and ask Mr.. Loring If there's
any use in our tryin' to hold on"
Now 1t fell out that these things hap
pened on a day when the tide Of re-
trieval was at its lowest ebb; the day,
namely, in which Kent had told Loring
that he was undecided as to his moral
right to use the evidence against
Bucks as a lever to pry the Trans
Western out of the grip Of the junto.
1t befell, also, that 1t was the day
chosen by two other men, not members
of the labor unions, in which to call
upon the ex-manager; and Loring
found M'Tosh, the trainmaster, and
Durgan, the master mechanic, waiting
for him in the hotel corridor when ne
came in from late luncheon at the
Camelot club.
Can you give US few minutes, Mr..
Loring?" asked M'Tosh, when Loring
had shaken hands with them, not as
subordinates.
Surely. My time Is not very valu-
able, just at present. Come in, and I'll
see If Mr.. Kent has left me any cigars"
"Humph!" said purgan, when the
had gone into Kent's room
to Tummage for the smoke Offering.
And they give us the major in the
place of such man as that" with
jerk OF his thumb toward the door Of
the bedroom.
Come off," warned M'Tosh; he'll
hear you" And when Loring came
back with the cigars there was dry hu-
NOR in his eye.
"You mustn't let your loyalty to the
old guard get you into trouble with the
receiver" he cautioned; and they both
smiled.

OTIS then recrossed the river at Beat
ties Ford, and resolved also to go In
pursuit of Ferguson, who had been for
some time, with the help Of the Tories,
putting the Wings, Of the mountain
region, to fire and sword. Here La
cey and Hill were Joined by Majors
Graham and Hambright, with seventy
or eighty men. and shortly afterwards
by Colonels Hammond and Roebuck,
and Majors Chronicle and Hawthorne.
It is well known that Lord Corn
wallis had sent out Colonel Patrick
Ferguson, (1D near and through the
mountain region, to collect together
and organize all Royalists. Those who
fiocked to his standard. were the most
profiigate and corrupt men In the
country. He passed through the upper
part Of the state and made a halt,
first at Gilbert Town, and lastly at
Kings Mountain. (15) From thence,
he sent out his foraging parties, who
drove In large herds Of cattle. The
Patriots reasonably supposed from
this that Ferguson intended to make
stand here; besides an old man Of
known veracity, came into camp and
informed the Americans that he had
been for some days with Colonel Fer
guson, as a pretended Royalist; that
he (Ferguson) had pitched his camp
on a spur of Kings Mountain, where
he considered his position so strong
and advantageous, that he impiously
said. God Almighty and all the reb-
els out Of hell could not drive him
from the post" But as an act Of pru-
dence. he had sent an express, (Abram
Collins) to Earl Cornwallis, then In
Charlotte. N. c.. for Tarleton's dra-
goons. The name of this cruel and
unprincipled corps, struck the inhabi-
tants with terror and dismay. The
Patriots knew that the forces under
their several commands, were not suf-
tficient to attack, successfully, Colonel
Ferguson's strong position. They also
knew that Colonels Campbell, Shelby,
Sewer, Mcdowell and Cleveland, with
the mountain men" had recently ar
rived upon the Catawba river in
Burke county, N. c., and were anx-
,ious and expected to meet Ferguson
he had threatened to march over the
mountains. hang their leaders, and lay
waste to their country with fire and
sword, II they did not at once take
British protection under his standard.

tended.
Not far below Augusta, Ga, the Sa-
.vannah river is crossed by an anti
quated fiatboat, hanging by a cable
from post far up stream and impell-
ed from bank to bank by the action of
the current. This is the Sandbar Fer
ry, and from time immemorial, until
the abolition Of duelling, the banks OF
the river on both sides were bloody
fields Of so-called honor.
Gentlemen of South Carolina, hav-
ing quarrelled, crossed in the rfckety
fiat-boat with their seconds and
fought their battles on Georgia soil,
and Georgians went over to the Pal
metto State for their shooting or
swordplay.
Thither, one day, went solemn pro-
cession Of principals, seconds and wilt
nesses, most of them representatives
Of the Georgia bar. They were more
solemn than usual, for the fight they
were to witness was to wipe out the
most terrible Of insults. Two V-"ll-
known lawyers Of Rome, who had been
lifelong friends, had fallen out, and
one of them, in the height Of dis
pute, had reviled the other with all the
terrible words he could lay tongue to.
There had been a score Of men pres
ent to hear and to prevent an immedi-
ate shooting, and now the two devoted
friends, turned enemies, rode with the
party toward the fatal ground where
they were to make target practice on
each other. Each Of them was down.
cast and gloomy, for at heart they
were devoted. But the insult was
deadly and there seemed no escape
with honor from the encounter.
When they arrived at the ferry,
however, the fiatboat was on the 9TH
er side. A second picked up the horn
from the post and blew 1t Justify. over
and over he sounded it, until from a
distant field the aged ferryman came
sauntering leisurely down to his craft.
The two lawyers sat side by side on
their horses and watched the slow
progress. The strain grew momenta-
rily heavier and the men gloomier. AT
last one of them-the insulted-could
stand It no longer.
"Jim," he said impulsively, "befo' we
go out of Geo'gia, want you to an
swer me one question. How did you
ever come to apply all those epithets
to me?"
Charley said Jim solemnly, Il did
1t in my professional capacity"
The face of the man who had been
insulted lighted up with a smile Of
great relief. and he held out his hand.
Il knew 1t! I knew it," he cried.
Shake on It! Who ever heard OF
holding a lawyer responsible for what
he said in his professional capacity?
1t would be madness sub, madness!
They shook hands fervently and the
duel was declared off.-Youth's Com
panion.

EGGS FOR BERNHARDT.
Quebec Resents Alleged SIur of the
Partisan Actress.

QUEBEC, Dec. Mime. Bernhardt
had the experience of being saluted
here with bad eggs. The French ac-
tress gave three performances to
crowded houses in spite of the clerical
announcements. The cause of all the
trouble was an article which appeared
in IL French Canadian paper purport-
ing to be an interview with Nine.
Bernhardt. In it the actress was made
to say that Canada was Il magnificent
country to look at, but its people had
no literary or artistic tastes, no cul-
ture or refinement.
Nine. Bernhardt wound up her dia-
tribe by asking what could be expect
ed of Il people made up of French Ca
nadians, English Canadians, Sioux and
Iroquois Canadians and Irish Cana
dams, whose chief attributes were
their willingness TO be ground under
the heels of the Roman Catholic
priests.
When the performance was conclud-
ed the audience went away, but about
200 men hung around the doors, and as
Mr.. Max, IA of the performers, made
his appearance he was struck with an
egg.
a detachment of about fifty police
men had mustered behind the Market
hall and marched down to the audi
forum. A squad of ten proceeded to
the Canadian Pacific railway station.
This stopped the intended trouble at
the auditorium, but as Nine. Bernhardt
got into her sleigh eggs were thrown
at her. Some of her company in open
sleighs received the full force of the
onslaught. Nine. Bernhardt left Que
Sec for Ottawa with still more fervid
views on Canadian culture.
