HISTORIC CANNON BALL.

The United States National Muse
um has received as gift from DIR. w.
Hutson Ford, now residing in Wash
ington, 4o-pound cannon ball fired
from Fort Sumter at the beginning OF
the engagement on April I2th, 1861.
which marked the opening of the Civil
War. In connection with the history
of this shot DR.. Ford says:
"This cannon ball was fired by
Major Anderson from Fort Sumter on
the 18th of April, 1861. At the be-
ginning of the fight Major Anderson
devoted his attention to the floating
battery, which was moored In the cove
at Sullivans Island near the western
extremity, about mile and quarter
from the fort. Three Of his shots
struck the battery and rebouEded
upon the sand bar, failing to pene-
trate more than three inches. l was
one of the surgeons of the hospital at
Mount Pleasant nearby, across the
lagoon back Of Sullivans Island, and
as there was nothing to do, being nc
wounded, in company with a col
league 1 paid a visit to Sullivan:
Island on the 18th of April, and see
ing these shots lying in front of the
floating battery on the sand bank,
caught up one of them in my hand
kerchief and brought it away, fore
seeing its historic value. Ithen tool
the ball successively to Charleston ane
Aiken, S. c., thence to st. Louis
where it remained until brought i
to Washington"

UP IN MAINE.

They were discussing nasty weather
at the postof6ce the other day. There
had been heavy fog over the place
for two days, and it naturally became
topic of conversation.
"Ya'as, it's foggy-quite foggy,"
said Uncle Hezekiah Torpyhue, filling
his corncob pipe and putting vigorous
ly on the stem. 'But it ain t nothin'
to the one we had back in 10. BY
CORY, boys, that was fog an no
mistake Why, it was so thick that

affair very we'll, but it warn't a marker
along side O. the one we had in '73,
when me and Joe Sillsbee had to take
a plow to cut our way through to the
henhouse, an by ginger, when we
got there we found the hens a-settin'
on it instid of on their nests, an some
of 'em laid their eggs right onto 1t,
like as though it was made O. hay,

9'Ya'as," put in old Gran'ther
Smoggs, the village patriarch, "them
there two fogs was dandies, an every
thing you fellers says about 'em is
Gospil trewth, but fer real fog ye'd
oughter been around here back In old
Andy Jackson's time. I tell ye they

used to set on the fence down in front
O. the meetin' house and make fog
balls outen 'em an peg 'em at people
as they went by. Seems to me l ain't
seen no fogs since that time that ye
could make snowballs out of, have

"Ye'll have t. excuse me, Gram

A THIN CAT.

The skeleton of cat walked into a
butcher shop. Ryan seeing her bawl-
ed out: mickey, didn't Oi tell ye a
month ago to fade that cat wild a
pound of mate day until ye had her

'You did An Oi'm just after

"Has that cat ate a pound this
mornin' 7"
"Yis, sor."
"Sure, Oh think it's a lie ye're tell
in. Bring me them scales. Now
bring me the cat"
The cat turned the scales at exact
ly one pound.
"There, didn't 1 tell ye that she'd

pound of mate, but where's the cat?"

THE ROAD TO WEALTH.

"The thing that counts" said a
man of INDEPENDENTLY large means ac-
sand dollars; when you've got that
amount together you are beginning
to get somewhere, and with that start
you will want to keep on.
"The red ink interest entries that
you see put down in your savings
bank book twice a year will strike
you very pleasantly indeed. AS In
terest on your thousand dollars you'll
get $35 or $40 in year your money
has begun earning money for you.
''You get an income now and you'll
want to add to it. You will leave
that interest in the bank to be added
to your principal, and now your In
terest will begin to draw interest, and
to be sure you will keep right on add
ing to your principal too, and every
six months you'll see those red figures
growing bigger and bigger, pretty
figures to contemplate, and you'll
keep right along saving. But the
thing that really counts is the first
thousand dollars. Getthat and you re
all right. And you'll always be glad
you saved it.
"For there really is nothing like
neutrality-suspicious., or like having
at least some money laid by. Then
if you want money you have got
it. You don't have to go to friends
to borrow and take the risk of being
refused, the risk of being compelled to
90 without what you need. Hyou've
got the money in the bank you can
90 there and get it. There might
come a time when you would need
money for your family or for yourself
very much; it's a grand thing to
have it where you can get it.
There's nothing mean about be-
ing saving and accumulating money !;
on the contrary it is every mans duty
to make himself financially indepen-
dent. 1 don't mean at all that man
wants to set out to accumulate great
wealth there's no great fun in that,
but what he does want to do is to get
together enough to live on modestly." )"

MosBY WAS THERE.

General John S. Mosby, the Con-
federate cavalryman, used to tell of a
comic incident which happened in the
Shenandoah Valley in 1864. Near
Millwood regiment of cavalry halt.
ed one night and went into camp.
lairr11 he :,,e;. ..;1; OFF IN r1s
neighborhood to get something 70 eat.
He rode up to cabin on farm in
the dark and called for the person in
side to come out.
A negro woman, known at that
time as an intelligent contraband,
opened the door and asked him what he
wanted. The soldier wished to be
assured of his safety before dismount-
ing and while eating his supper, so he
inquired of the woman if any one but
herself was there.
She replied, eyes; Mosbyis here.
"What !" said he in a whisper. is
Mosby here?"
EYES," she said che is in the
house."
The soldier put spurs to his horse
and dashed off to his company to car
ry the news. When he got there he
informed the colonel that Mosby was
in house not far away. The regi-
ment was soon mounted and went at
fast trot, thinking they had Mosby
in trap.
When they arrived at the negro wo-
mans house the colonel ordered his
men to surround it to prevent Mosby' S
escape, while he went in with few
to take him dead or alive.
The woman again came to the door
of the cabin. The colonel inquired,
"Is Mosby here?"
She innocently replied, eyes," SO
he walked in.
After the colonel got inside he
looked round. But the woman seem
ed to be all alone and utterly uncon-
scious of having so important per-
son for a guest.
In loud voice the colonel demand
ed, "Where is Mosby?"
"Ere he," answered the terrified
negress, at the same time pointing tc
a cradle on the floor.
The colonel looked into the cradle
and saw little African pickaninny
sucking its paw Ionths CombGnion
