Through the kindness of Mr.. Geo.
Hunter we have at the office an old
letter written to his father, Robert
Hunter (soldier) 10th Regt., U. S.
Infantry, Company A. With Gen.
Taylor in Mexico. The letter was new.
er put in an envelope, and the way
it was folded and sealed to protect
the writing would be puzzle now
days. The letter was dated at Rock
ford, ILL.,, Sept. IS, 1S47, GO years
ago, and the ink is just as bright
today as the day it was written.
The letter gives the usual gossip Of
the community that would be of in
terest to a young man away with an
army, fighting for his country. The
letter says that the prospects for a
railroad seem good as reports say
work has commenced in Chicago.
The price of wheat was 81 cents and
the writer had a big yield, nearly
one hundred bushels. The most
peculiar part Of the letter is where
the information was given that Mr..
Hunters uncle had taken up, and
moved on a claim in Pennsylvania.

The Mystery of Death.


Oh, death, how bitter is the thought
of thee! How speedy thy approach!
How stealthy thy steps! How uncer-
tain thy hour! How universal thy
sway! The powerful cannot escape
thee; the wise know not how to avoid
thee; the strong have no strength to
oppose thee; the rich cannot bribe
ehee with their treasure. Thou art a
hammer that always strikes, a sword
that is never dull, 1let into which all
fall, prison into which all must en-
ter, a sea on which all must venture, a
penalty which all must suffer, trib-
ute which all must pay. Oh, death,
death! Implacable enemy to the hu-
man race! Why didst thou enter into
the world ?-Luis de Granada.

Part Of the Letter Wa Road.

"Did you ever think" said an old
printer, that we really notice only the
upper halves of the letters? The lower
halves are in many cases only the
stems, the reminders of ornamental
aourishes which have been gradually
reduced in size and length and are now
meaningless. Take, for instance, the
heading Of u paper. Cover up with a
blank sheet the lower half of the let
tiers, and even If you did not know
what they were you would have no DIFF
ticulty in reading the words. Now, re-
verse the process and cover the upper
half, and IL you did not know the words
it would be impossible to make out the
letters. This fact il even more plainly
seen in the case Of the Roman letters
used for headlines. An l. might be
mistaken for IN l. but nearly all the
other letters are SO plainly indicated
by the shupe of the upper half that the
lines may be read without difficulty

TRAVELLING Sand HIS.

On the coast of Pomerania there are
large tracts of sand heaped up by the
wind, hundreds of yards in breadth
and from GO to 100 feet high, and
these hills, propelled by the wind,
move steadily in an easterly direction.
The speed at which these great hills
travel is from thirty-nine to fifty-six
feet n year. Pine woods, which some
times come in their line of march, can
not stop them and are completely de-
stroyed. The branches are rotted off
by the sand, and nothing is left of the
trees but the bare stems, which after
q few years wither and die.

Effect of Whistle on Rattle.nakes.

"Should you ever encounter rattle
snake and he shows fight just begin to
whistle softly and the reptile will un-
coil and lay with his eyes closed and
body quivering," said Tennesseean.
ION more than one occasion l have
run across rattlesnakes and have al
ways taken the fight out of them by
whistling. The snake seems to become
absolutely helpless when he hears a
soft whistle and will make no attempt
to spring upon you. This whistle ap-
pears to soothe his anger and robs him
of fighting power. l saved my life on
one occasion in this manner. Try it
and you'll find that tell the TRUTH
