CHAPTER XVII.

Sooner or later all things come to
an end, including wars and histories
Gods mercy!-and even the lives of
such lucky men as I. All things, did |
say? Well, what wonder, for am l not
writing of youth and far delights with
hand trembling of infrmity? All
things save one, | meant to say, and
that is love, the immortal vine, with
its root in the green earth, that
weathers every storm, and "groweth
not old" and climbs to paradise; and
who eats of its fruit has in him ever
a thought of Heaven-a hope immortal
as itself
This book Of my life ends on bright
morning in the summer of II, at the
new home of James Donatianus lie
Ray, Comte de Chaumont, the chateau
having burned the year before.
President Monroe is coming on the
woods-pike, and veterans are drawn up
I'm line to meet him Here are men
Who fought at Chippewa and Lundy's
Lane and Lake Erie and Chrysler's
Farm, and here are some old chaps
who fought long before at Plattsburg
and Ticonderoga. Joseph Bonaparte,
the ex-king of Spain. so like his mighty
brother at ST. Helena, is passing the
line He steps proudly, in ruffles and
green velvet Gondolas with liveried
gondoliers, and filled with fair women,
are floating on the still lake, now rich
with shadow pictures of wood and sky
and rocky shore.
A burst of melody rings in the great
harp Of the woodland. In that trumpet
peal, it seems million voices sing:
Hail. Columbia happy land
Slowly the line begins to limp along
There are wooden legs and crutches
and empty sleeves in that column. D'ri
goes limping in front. his right leg
gone at the knee since our last charge.
Draped around him is that old battle
flag of the Lawrence. | march beside
him, with only this long seam across
my cheek TO show that had been with
him that bloody day at Chrysler's
We move slowly over a green field to
the edge of the forest. There, in the
cool shadow are ladies in white, and
long tables set for a feast. My dear
wife, loved of all and more beautiful
than ever, comes TO meet us.
Sweetheart" she whispers, 81 was
never so proud to be your wife"
And an American" | suggest. kiss
ing her.
And an American" she answers.
A bugle sounds; the cavalcade is
coming.
The President" they cry, and we
all begin cheering.
He leads the escort on black horse,
a fine figure in military coat and white
trousers, his cooked hat in hand. a
smile lighting his face. The count re-
ceives him and speaks our welcome.
President Monroe looks down the war
SCARED line a moment. His eyes fill
with tears, and then he speaks to us
Sons Of the woodsmen," says he,
concluding his remarks. you shall live
in the history of a greater land than
that we now behold or dream of and
in the gratitude of generations yet un-
born, long, long after we are turned to
dust"
And then we all sing loudly with full
hearts.
o land love!-thy acres sown
With sweat and blood and shattered
bone
Gods grain, that ever doth increase
The goodly harvest of his peace.

Many OF our readers would doubtless
give much to know of a quick and sure
way of Kidding the house of mice, which
infest certain localities aud are a source
of annoyance to even the most careful
housekeepers.
Here is story that comes from Eng
land and points moral in that direction;
Marie had just been introduced into the
kitchen by her new mistress, who, after
few necessary directions, withdrew;
but she had pot gone far when she heard
shrieks procee ding from that depart
ment, and returned to find Marie stand
ing on top of the table with her skirts
raised high and gathered around her.
On spying her mistress she declared she
had seen a mouse, and could not live in
a house where they we're allowed to run
about at pleasure. If her mistress had
only klDv1 a5)lt dI'ti1g cayenne pep.
per around places where mice are likely
to enter and stopping their holes with
little wads of cotton thoroughly soaked
with pepper, she would not have had
that unpleasant experience with Marie.

A French way of cleaning the inside Of
glass decanters and vinegar cruets will
be found the simplest and most etfectual.
1t is to take the shells of eggs before
they are dried after the eggs are removed.
and crush them into small bits, putting
them into the bottle or cruet with lit
tie water and shaking well until the glass
looks clear; then remove the shells, rinse
with warm, soapy water, and afterward
with clear, cold water.

Many housekeepers are at loss to
know how to use cold meats to make an
appetizing dinner dish. Two kinds of
cold meat can be utilized in Bordeaux
outlets. Finely mince the meat, season
to taste with salt, pepper and little
Worcestershire sauce, add about one
third the quantity of mashed potatoes;
mix with enough white of egg to make
the mixture of such consistency as to be
easily formed into small chops; stick a
small piece of macaroni in each to imi.
tate the bone, dip in beaten egg, then
10 bread crumbs, and fry nice brown in
beef fat and butter. Serve around a
mound of mashed potatoes and border
the dish with green peas

BRUTAL SHEEP SHEARINC.
Removal of Pieces of Skin While
Struggling Is of Common
Occurrence.

In the farther west, where by far
the greater number of sheep are
raised, the shearing is often done by
rowing hands of shearers whose only
thought is 10 dispose of as many head
as possible in day, says Country Life
in America To remove piece of
skin as large as the palm of the hand
times 1t is the case with struggling
sheep that this mishap occurs several
times. 1t is rare indeed for sheep to
pass through this ordeal without a
skin puncture in one or more places.
Reference is made to hand shears,
shearing machines has not removed
all the danger of injury TO the sheep.
With these clippers in the hands of a
careless or Indifferent man it is an
easy matter to stick the points of the
guards into the sheep or TO cut Sits
appear, however, that the shearers of
the west are more cruel than those of
the great sheep raising countries of
Argentina, New Zealand or Australia,
but the practice is none the less repre-
hensible. and worthy the protest of all
humane citizens. In the sheep shear
ing contest at the worlds fair at st.
Louis last October some of the con-
testants were so bloody" In their
work that the sheep and goats when
released presented a sickening sight.
Because of this fact, the judges of the
contest, so far as the machines were
concerned, went beyond their pre-
scribed duties to rebuke the inhumane
work.

Where Londoners Were Born

Light is thrown upon the subject OF
ancestral Londoners in the latest vol
ume of the report of the London traf-
fic commission. From one OF these we
learn that of the 100000 people in
the administrative county OF London
only 100000 were born in it. But
that is probably a larger proportion
than most people were aware OF.

Purchased Furnace Stack.

F. @. Hartman has purchased the
material consisting mostly of brick
and mortar, that composed the stack
of the Bessemer blast furnace, which
was overthrown with such spectacular
effect the week before last.
Mr.. Hartman will use the material
in filling up between his silk mills
and the river bank. The furnace stack
contains several thousand tons Of ma
terial, but it will all be needed along
with great deal Of additional matter
before all the space at the rear Of the
mills is graded over and the river bank
is repaired aad protected to meet Mr..
Hartman's idea.
The heavy blasting heard at the fur
mace site during the last couple of
days. shows that work is being pushed
steadily along. Dynamite is being en-
ployed to break up some Of the very
heavy steam and blast pipe that still
remains at the plant.
It will be some days before they will
be ready to throw the tall smoke stack
or to demolish the engine house, that
still shelters the big upright engine,
which is considered in too good con-
ditfon to be reduced to scrap. Should
the engine not find purchaser by the
time the dismantling is completed a
temporary structure will be built over
it In order to afford shelter until it is
finally disposed of.

CORRUPT PRACTICES BILL.

By the terms of the Roberts corrupt
practices bill which has been sent to
the Governor for signature, candidates
must, after the bill becomes law,
itemize every dollar expended by them
for political purposes and verify these
expenditures under oath. This plan
has been adopted in other states with
a degree Of success dependent only on
the scrutiny Of the district attorney
as to the correctness Of the returns
made. An honest candidate needs no
public accounting for the funds he in
vests in political way and the dis
honest one will glibly swear to any
thing necessary either with or with
out law governing the subject. The
only advantage in favor Of such mea-
sure is that it gives double hold up
on the political crook in case anyone
gets virtuous enough to prosecute him
he can be held for unlawful expen-
ditures as we'll as for perjury in max
ing his return. But the bill Is an
evidence Of reform thinking in any
event.

COMMITTED TO
COUNTY PRISON

Albert Smethers of Liberty township
was committed to the county prison
yesterday to await a hearing before
Justice of the Peace Oglesby on the
charge Of malicious mischief.
Smethers, who is single man about
20 or 80 years of age, was arrested yes
terday by Constable Mcclellan Diehl
of Washingtonville on warrant sworn
out by George K. Heddens. The spe-
cifc offense that Smethers has to an
swer for is the kicking over Of lamp
in Heddens' Hall, Washingtonville, IN
February and. On that night there
was to be dance in the hall, which is
in the second story of Mr.. Heddens'
building, Immediately above the store.
1t is alleged that Smethers was see-
ing how high he could kick when he
struck the lamp and caused it to fall
to the floor. 1t broke to pieces and the
oil, which ran out over the floor, took
fire. Smethers, it seems, himself pick
ed up the fragments Of the burning
lamp and threw them out of the win
dow, after which he assisted to ex-
tinguish the blaze. Prompt action
succeeded in preventing a fire.
The complainant in the case with
necessary witnesses will drive down to
Danville this morning, when the hear
ing will take place before Justice
Oglesby at 8 o clock.

VALUABLE PHOTOGRAPHS.

A series Of very interesting pictures
may be seen at A. H. Grone's book
store showing the old Bessemer blast
furnace in its partly dismantled state,
one of the most interesting being a
snap shot taken just as the big furnace
stack and elevator shaft were in the
process Of falling. In the photograph
the ponderous mass hangs suspended in
the air at an angle of probably forty
five degrees.
The views artistically are quite up
to the standard and show that Mr..
Poulterer, the gentleman in charge, is
quite as much at home with the camera
as he is directing the wrecking Of OBJ
solete industries. The photographs
should be priced very highly as they
will serve to keep in mind an impor-
tant industrial establishment, whose
walls were familiar to whole genera
tion of our inhabitants, but which af-
ter few more blasts of dynamite have
done their work will be wholly thing
of the past and the spot where they
stood will be part Of the common.
