worn out the patience of the govern

force had been dispatched against
them. Seven thousand carefully Sc.

only decided upon after number Of
the most serious faids, in which

The Wizard.

Some years ago an expedition fror
the University Of Pennsylvania was
sent to one Of our southern states fol
the purpose Of observing a solar
eclipse.
The day before the event one of the
professors said to an old darby be
longing to the household wherein the
scientist was quartered:
Tom, If you will watch your chick

that they'll all 60 to roost at II
O'clock"
Tom was, Of course, skeptical; but
at the appointed hour the heavens
were darkened, and the chickens re-
tired to roost. At this the negro's
amazement showed no bounds, and he
sought out the scientist.
Professor" said he, how long ago
did you know dem chickens would go
to roost?"
About year ago." said the pro.
lessor, smiling.

and his men.
Among the soldiers who were en-
gagged In fighting the Indians, in the
campaign OF which the Custer episode
forms part, were two young Irish
men who had been in the Papal Guard
at Rome. Before they left for America
the pope had given them his blessing
and presented each of them with z
gold crucifix upon which the mystic
beneficence of his prayers had fallen
One of these young men was with
Custer when the general and all his
followers went down before the Zero

other was with the comrcny which
was the first to arrive upon the field
The scene Of the battle was indie.

bodies Of the dead lay about in a man

The young Irishman wandered hope.
lessly about In this fearful charncl
place in despair Of finding his friend,
All at once he discovered body
neither scalped nor stripped, but with
its limbs decently composed as If by
kindly hand. He recognized 1t as
that of his comrade. On the quiet
breast lay the gold crucifix of the
pope, attached to the slender chain
on which it had always been worn.
The squaws engaged in stripping
the bodies had discovered the holy
emblem hung about the young mans
neck, and awed at the sight of 1t, had
feared to wreak their usual horrors
upon him. They had Strengthened
his limbs and left him without the dis.

The friend of the dead man took the
crucifix and lock of his comrades

1t was said by those who looked on
that the Indians who spared the
corpse because Of the crucifix must
have been those who had come under
the training of the famous Father De
Smet, since he had given the savages
among whom he worked such a deep,
though ignorant, reverence for the
cross, that they would never dare to
maltreat body on which 1t was found.

AL AFTER THE BLUE RIBBON


Now, children" said the teacher 81
the infant class Of Sunday school, 4
told you last Sunday that each of you
who learned a verse from the Bible
and recited 1t to-day would receive a
large blue ribbon. Let me see how
many of you have learned verse;.
There were 20 or 30 boys and girls
from four to eight years Of age ranged
ABOUT her In circle. For a moment
there was no response to her question.
Then bright looking girl timidIy
raised hand.
| All! Julia has learned a verse;" the
teacher said. Il am sorry that no
more hands are raised ! had hoped
that nearly all Of you would get blue
ribbon. But ! suppose your mammas
and papas have been very busy and
some OF you forgot. Well, Julia, let US
hear your verse;"

repeated. Then boy who sat near

Now, Is there any one else who has
learned verse? Why, 7 see five,

The teacher looked rather hard at
Arthur, and said:
GLADYS next. What Is your verse?
Speak out loudly SO that all the class
may hear"
Walk in the light" shouted
Gladys.
BY this time all but two Of the
children who had not been heard from
were holding up their hands. The
teacher looked at boy whose name
she had forgotten and asked What
verse have you learned?"
Walk in the light" replied the
whole crowd in chorus, each little one
apparently fearing there would not
be another chance to win the blue
ribbon.

The novelty of camp life began to
lose its zest as the month of February,
1861, grew. To relieve the monotony,
the soldiers sought diversion at the
billiard table and ten-pin alley, which
had been attached to the barracks by
Lieut. Simmer. These paStimes af-
ter a while lost their relish. The en-

their claims, and the popular song of
