THE BOY WHO WOUKS.
llow a Burlington Lud Spent a Day Cutting
Urnu.
Tbe grass needed cutting very badly,
and in the interest of economy, Mrs.
Middlerib told her son he might stay at
home yesterday morning and cut the
gross in the front yard. Anything suited
that young student better than school,
and he received the announcement that
he was detailed for fatigue with great
glee. Once only it occurred to him that
it would be the proper thing to be very
sad anu dejected at the very prospect of |
losing a half day of study, and he said : '
"But I hate dreadfully to miss all this
morning's lessons."
His mother, glancing at the expression
of intense concrru which covered his
face, said that she didu't think of that, 1
and perhaps he had better go to school
mi f Vi n /vvnoo ca1ia/\1 Itaiivo
auvi vuv tuc <koo aji^i nvuwi uvuic.
The alacrity with which the young
mail moved to table the m'otion cut off ,
all further debate, and the original mo- j
tion to stay at home prevailed.
Now it was Master Middlerib's in ten- !
tion to cut that grass in about thirty
minutes and have the rest of the morning
to himself. As soon as his father i
was out of the house, therefor?, he began
operations. In tho first place he
hunted up the sickle. This was a task ,
of about an hour and a half. During \
the search for that agricultural imple- ;
ment he found a steel trap, three tops,
a hatful of marbles, an old gun lock, a !
baseball, his father's pocketknife, a ball
of kite string, an assortment of fishing :
Jiues and hooks, a funny stone, a brass
pistol barrel, his Sunday hat (on top of
the woodshed), an odd skate, the carv- j
ing knife, a pair of scissors and a Sunday
school book. All these discoveries, with ,
the exception of the last, required a
great deal of attention and care after
the articles were found, and by the time
he had them all bestowed where he could 1
readily find them when they were wanted
it was nearly ten o'clock, and he re- I
raembered that he had taken the sickle
down town to get sharpened, and could
not for the life of him remember what |
shop he took it to. This necessitated a j
journey to the neighbor's and the bor- j
rowing of a sickle. Then he was at last i
readv for work and, incited to activity J
by the warning voice of his mother, |
Master Middlerib sought the shadest j
corner of the front yard and, seating i
himself in the easiest attitude, began operations.
As he poised the sickle for the first
stroke, however, he noticed that it was
not sharp. Returning to the woodshed
he instituted an elaborate search for the
whetstone. He found everything he
ever heard of in his life except a whetstone,
and returned to his task with a
fire-brick, a piece of sandstone, a three- 1
cornered file and a horse- rasp. He '
tried all of these in succession, and
soon had the sickle in the condition of ;
a circular saw turned wrongside out.
Finally the appearance of the sickle, !
assisted by the voice of his mother, and j
the fact that the sun was so high there j
wasn't a shady place left in the front i
yard, warned him it was high time to
begin. With bitter thoughts of the
good time he had expected to be having
by this time, and mourning over
the sad fate of a boy who had to work
every minute he was out of school, he
raised the sickle high in the air and
made a vigorous sweep at the tangled ,
grass.
The blade flew off the handle and
went whizzing out into the grass. This |
necessitated another search, which Mas- '
{>roved, and that hapless man is now folowing
tlie Circassian like a seoond ;
shadow, beseeching him, with perpetual
iteration, to strike a bargain. It rests
^ on Rochefoucalud's authority that a man
can always enjoy the misfortunes of his ,
friends, and the* friends of this especial
man seem to tind some consolation for
their own sorrows in watching and
laughing at the countless ruses and
maneuvres with which his ingenuity
inspires the hunter of the coat." * J
In the Jaws of an Alligator.
At Lake Charles, in the parish of Cal- j j
casieu, La., a few days since, a most ex- 1
citing scene was witnessed by a number j
of people on the shore, tiome lads, ]
among whom was a boy named William <
Haskell, were in bathing, when the 1
attention of all was attracted to the cries j
of the latter, and an alligator was seen <
swimming in the direction of him. The <
little boy not perceiving the approach of, ]
the saurian, dived, and just as he reached ]
the surface the open jaws received him. j
The alligator drove his teeth almost 1
through the boy's skull, making several ?
wounds in the scalp three inches in ]
length. The boy's comrade4 rushed into 1
the water and began a loud outcry, when the
alligator let go his hold and disap- j
ps&reJ. The little fellow, although t
wiouely injured, will probably live, j t
ter Middlerib pursued like a pointer
dog, groping about on his hands and
knees. When he found the blade he
fixed it in the handle, and then went ,
into the kitchen .to get a piece of string !
to tie them together. I,
" Have you got all that yard cut ?" in- >
quired his mother.
41 Not quite," replied the truthful son. j
Then he went baek and resumed operations.
He cut the gras3 a short time ,
in the orthodox manner. Then he got
down on his knees and one hand, until (
he ran the point of the sickle into his
supporting hand. Then he caught hold
of tufts of grass with his hand, and
used the sickle like a scalping knife, |,
until he cut two of his fingers. Then
he went into the house to get his various ,
Trnnrw1? hamla<ra/l anrl tn ra? if if. wasn't
nearly twelve o'clock. And when he
went back to his work he had barely
time to cut his knee when the dinner
bell rang, and a happier boy you never
8aw. His injuries kept him away from
school that afternoon, and the keen eye
of envy itself couldn't detect the spot in
the front yard where he had cut the
grass.?Burlington Hawkeye.

A Coat Lined with Money.
A war correspondent writes : " Comedy
goes side by side with tragedy here as
everywhere, and even at a time like
this men can laugh. A resident, who j
lias come down from Eski Saghra, is in
a condition of much perplexity about
the means to be adopted for the recovery ;
of a stolen coat. Anticipating evil times
in the Eski Saghra, the resident had
sewn up his money in the lining of his 1
heaviest fur overcoat, and with this
held himself ready to leave the town j
at any moment. Somehow when the
dreaded time arrived he missed the coat, j
and had to come down here without it.
Walking about the streets of Adrianople,
he descried this very coat upon the ,
shoulders of a big Circassian, with whom (
lie entered into humble parley for its
recovery, professing to have taken a
great fancy for it. While he pretended ;
to examine and admire the fur he ascertained
by touch that his money remain- I,
ed undisturbed. The Circassian de- i
clined to sell, and the man then put in a i
claim as owner of the coat, and succeed- j
od in bringing the C rcassain before the
governor of the town. The governor 1
declined to oonsider the resident's claim
Fall Fashions.
The reproduction of old modes is observed.
Mosaic patterns in rich goods are introduced.
Rough knottings on fabrics is a novel
design.
Tiie intermixtures of dark and light j
grays are effective.
: Various shades of bronzes are produced 1
in fall goods.
Brilliant threads running over dark
grounds is a new design.
Plush-like intermixtures have an ex-!
ceedingly fine appearance.
Rough unfaced goods gives promise of
being generally worn.
Mixtures of silk and wool, and also
pure silk fabrics have knotted loopings.
The prevalence for close fitting cos- I
tumes is carried to excess; this style :
looks well on slender forms.
Worth's "stalactite" cloth in white
and pale shades is quite new in character;
it is thin and semi-transparent.
Cashmere serges and mohairs still demand
the attention of the fashionables, j
and are made up a la mode.
Fashion admits of a large variety of
garnitures this season, and a profusion
of trimmings will be the rule.
The clair de lune beads are very
"stunning;" their presence somewhat
dazzles, and hence, unless carefully
used, will give a "loud " effect.
Steel, jet, amber and English garnet
beads will figure somewhat largely this
and np.xfc season in the world of dress.
Their tone is that of festivity.
The fashion of buttons is very beautiful,
and their finish artistic. The variety ,
is large, including French horn, pearl,
ivory, crochet, and faucet-cut buttons; j
also, clair ae lune metal buttons.
Bhaws will be quite generally worn I
during the fall season. The modes are !
various, including all sorts of qualities, i
from the costly elegant India shawl to
the "Chuddah" house wrap, so com-!
fortable and yet so stylish in the drawing-room.
In millinery the ruling fabrics are
plush and satin. Of course velvet will
be used, as this chapeau cloth never be-)
comes passe, but nevertheless plush will
this season take tli9 lead. Foliage and ;
plumes figure largely, and all sorts of :
cunning ornaments will be used in mode

uuapcauA.
The shapes of hats and bonnets differ j
rather artistically from former modes. ;
The brims are narrow, and the crowns I
both high and low. The coronet front j
appears, and will no doubt be accepted 1
by the beau monde. Long ribbon
pendants at the back are favored. Gilt
edged hats are introduced, and clair de
lune garniture is affected.
Lace bonnet strings and scarfs are
going out of favor, narrow silk and satin
ribbons taking their place. These may i
be tied in a small bow at the left side.
Pure white linen collars and cuffs will
be worn in street and house costumes ; j
the cuffs wider, and in some instances
turned back all around.
Belts will be worn with street costumes

A Useful Wife.
We had been out to the graveyard to
bury Mrs. Pidgeon, and we were riding
home in the carriage with the bereaved
widower.. While he sopped his eyes
with his handkerchief he told us about
her:
" In one respect I never saw her
equal. She was a manager. I've knowed j
that woman that's lying out there in the
tomb to take an old pair of my trousers j
and cut them up for the boys. She'd '
make a splendid suit of clothes for both
of them out of them old pants, and a
cap for Johnny, and have some left over
for a rag-carpet, besides making handkerchiefs
nnt nf the TW?kpts and a bustle i
for herself out of the other linings. i:
Give her any old garment and it was as
good as a gold mine. Why, she'd take j
a worn-out sock and make a good overcoat
out of it, I believe. She had a turn
for that kind of economy. There's one
of my shirts that I bought in 1847 still '
going about makiug itself useful as win- :
der curtains and plenty of other things.
Only last July our gridiron give out, 11
and she took it apart, and in two hours ;1
it was rigged on the side of the house as 1
a splendid lightning-rod, all except what :
she had made into a poker and an ice J
pick. Ingenious ? Why shp kept our
family in buttons and whistles out of the j
ham-bones she saved, and she made fif- 1'!
teen pricely chicken coops from her old
hoop skirts, and a pig pen out of her j 1
used up corset bones. She never wasted
a solitary thing. Let a cat die around |1
our house, and the first thing you knew i1
Mary Jane'd have a muff and a set of I
furs, and I'd begin to find mince pies on
the dinner table. She'd stuff a feather i
bed with the feathers that she'd got off
of one little bit of a rooster, and she'd
even utilize the roaches in the kitchen |
80*8 they'd run the churn?had a machine 1
she invented for the purpose. I've seen
her cook potato parings so's you'd think '
they were canvas-back duck, and she I <
had a way of doctoring Up shavings so
that the pig'd eat 'em and grow fat on
'em. I believe that woman could a built
a four-story hotel if you'd a given her a
single pine board; or a steamboat out of
a wash biler; antl the very last tiling
she said to me was to bury her in the
garden so's she'd be nseful down below
there, helping to shove up the cabbages.
I'll never see her like again."

A Crazy Engineer's Freak. .
Last Wednesday night, says the Niagara
Falls Gazette, the Great Western ,
railway yard authorities at Clifton were
surprised to see Larry Callan, an engineer
on the line, draw out of the roundhouse,
and instead of coupling on the
steamboat express, which he was to draw
to Windsor, started off with his locomotive
for St. Catharines. The engineer
had been waiting quietly in the roundhouse
and his fireman had gone to sleep. :
He did not move down the yard for his
train when he was due, and a messenger
was sent for him. After being called he i
started for the switch, but instead of returning
for his train he pulled the throt- 1;
tie wider open and started off for St.
Catharines. The fireman, who, by this
time was thoroughly awakened, ventured
to suggest that they return for the
train, and in answer got a short disquisi
tion on the relative positions of an engineer
and fireman that was more noted
for its emphasis than its coherency. At
Thorold the fireman got off and the engineer
went on to St. Catharines. At this
point he reported for orders, and in
obedience to a telegram from Clifton re- j i
turned to the grade, when his steam |;
gave out, ^pd he remained until another
engine aud crew took him in charge, and i
opened the track for the steamboat ex- j:
press. The next day the engineer ap- ,;
peared as usual, but professed an utter
ignorance of the transactions of the pre- 1
rious night, neither did he seem to un- j
lerstaud what had been the matter with ;
ois mental organs. As a matter of course J
le has been discharged from the road. j

SHERIDAN AT SEDAN.
Crapliir Description of a Cavalry Charge.
A correspondent sends the following
to the London A thenceum: In the
Athenceum I read a lengthy review of
Colonel Denison's " History of Cavalry,"
and must say I was greatly interested
more particularly with that portion
where Lieutenant General Sheridan is
mentioned having described the defeat
of a cavalry regiment at Sedan. I at
once wrote to Sheridan on the subject.
After calling his attention to the book (a
copy of which I regret I have not yet
seen), and to your lengthy criticism, I
continued: " I should like to know if
you have been correctly quoted in this
matter. If so, will you please to inform
me as to the place of the charge; also,
how it was that a line of skirmishers
could resist?in fact, destroy?a regiment
of Hussars ? Were you in a position
where you could see that which is
related as coming from your lips, or was
it told you by some officer who was on
the skirmish line ? I should like very
mnoh to rftcp.ivp from von vonr tapoUpo
tions of this affair. * * * I am
afraid Colonel Denison lias been imposed
upon; and it will require your own
statement to dispossess me of that belief.
I write you in the interests of the
service, here and abroad, and have the
honor, etc."
In a very few days I received a letter
from the lieutenant general as follows:
" Headquarters )
" Military Division op the Missouri, >
" Chicago, June 23, 1877. )
"My Dear Captain?Yours of the
sixteenth inst. is just at hand. Lieutenant
Colonel Denison's statement, as
quoted by you in reference to the charge
of the French cavalry at Sedan, above
and near the village of Flowing, is in
the main correct.
" I was watching the advance of the
German troops through a field glass
and saw the whole affair distinctly. The
facts are as follows: The German in1

of Flowing moved up a steep ascent with
a skirmish line in advance. Upon reaching
the brow of the hill the skirmishers
came out upon a sort of plateau and
were at once discovered by the French
cavalry, a small brigade of which, say
from twelve to thirteen hundred strong,
was in the immediate vicinity. The line
had advanced but a short distance upon
Ifee plateau when they were met by the
oavalry, which charged them. As the
cavalry came down upon them they were
broken into small knots or detachments
of men, of somewhat unequal size, the
cavalry having ridden completely
through the line; but meanwhile the little
groups of infantry kept up a galling
fire upon the troops by turning to their
rear and constantly firing upon them as
they broke back and around their flanks
and back through the groups of skirmishers
toward the direction from which
they had come.
" No sooner had the cavalry fallen back
than the skirmish line reformed, and was I
rapidly strengthened by some of the
soldiers of the main body, who, as soon
as they reached the plateau, saw at once
the perilous condition of their comrades,
and ran forward to their assistance. In
the meantime the cavalry, which had retired
beyond range, promptly rallied,
and reforming with scarcely a moment's
delay, again advanced to the charge.
Once more the skirmishers received them
with a volley, and adopted precisely the
same tactics which they seem to have
been forced to do at first. Again the
cavalry broke through the line,but practically
accomplished nothing, for the
Germans poured in a withering fire from
their small knots or detachments until
the cavalry once more retired around the
flanks, having lost large numbers of men
and horses.
"During the time occupied by this
second attack the leading files of the
main body of the Germans, which had
naturally somewhat broken while moving
up the rough ground of the heights, >
came out upon the plateau and hurried j
forward with great speed to the skirmish ;
line, which now, from constant acces-;
sions, had become very strong; in fact, J
almost a line of battle.
" Once more the cavalry rallied, and, j
having reformed for the third time, gal-;
lantly came down at a charge; but their
valor was of no avail, for the Germans
met them with such a terrible and destructive
fire that they badly cut up the
leading files, and completely broke and
scattered the French squadrons, who
tbis time utterly failed to break the line, j
and were fearfully punished. With!
scarcely any delay the German line ad- j
vanced, and pushed on to their objective .
point.
"This action was plainly seen by
many officers, who were looking at the
battle, my aide, General J. W. Forsyth,
being among them."
The Lawyer and the Emetic.
A correspondent sends to the Man-;
Chester (England) Courier the following
story: It happens that in one of the
principal streets of a certain cathedral
city there flourishes a chemist, and in
another a lawyer, each eminent in his
particular line. Being somewhat of the
same feather it is not wonderful that
they sometimes came together. The j
fact is they came together rather more i
frequently than the apothecary's assist-!
ant liked.
Whether it was because "old "
was always at his elbow and looking over
him at his business or not, for some reason
that individual conceived the idea
of getting rid of his master's friend.
Accordingly one fine day lately "old
" turned in as usual, and found the
assistant alone. The master had gone
out, but that did not deter the lawyer !
from taking his seat on the corner of the
counter where the assistant was busy
pounding some lump sugar in a mortar.
Turning toward a shelf, he fancied lie
6aw our friend the lawyer dexterously
wetting his fingers with his tongue, and
having dipped them in the powdered
sugar, applying them to that member
with evident signs and smacks of enjoyment.
The time had come, and the
young chemist resolved upon his course.
Resuming his pestal, he began pounding
away, but in a moment stopped and
began to sneeze and wipe his eyes.
"Confouud that stuff," he said, "it
- ? y .mi ?? <<
always maaes me iu. nuab ?tuu ;
exclaimed the lawyer, anxiously. " That
arsenic," replied his friend. *' Arsenic !'
shouted the lawyer, alarmed. "Yes,"
replied the chemist, as coolly as he
could, "I was mixing?" Before he
could say more the lawyer ran about the
shop shouting: " I'm poisoned, I'm
poisoned; what is to be done ?" " Nothing
but an emetic for it," said the assistant,
forthwith getting down the mustard
from a shelf; and in a few moments
poor was retching and groaning in
the greatest agony of body and mind. (
It is unnecessary to say that he had
not taken arsenic, but a few grains of
powdered sugar. He has not been in
his friend's shop since, his two chief j
difficulties being, first, to know whether
he was poisoned or not, and secondly, in :
the face of the auxious solicitations of his
friends after his health, persuade him*1
self that nobody known,
All Done in a Trance.
The Sail Jose (Cal.) Mercury has the '
following doubtful story : Miss Ella Malone,
a young lady of ttu, who resides
with her mother in the southern part of
the city, lias been subject for two years
to peculiar influences. She often goes
off in a trance in which she claims to be,
not Ella Malone, but a man named
, Charles S. Evans, who died several years
ago, but who was, when living, a musi
cian and a member of a minstrel troupe.
I While in this state she is said to execute j
difficult music on a piano with her eyes j
: closed, being evidently in an abnormal
condition. After a few performances of
this kind she is able to give the same
j music in her normal state. In this way,
I in less than a year, without the least
; previous knowlege of WTitten music, she
is able to execute many difficult pieces
; with the skill and precision of an artist.
At times her 44 control," as the influence
is called, improvises music, and has composed
several pieces, which Ella plays in
her normal state. In this way she is
acquiring her musical education independent
of books or earthly instructors.
P? ravian Syrup vs. Alcoholic Tonics.
it has been the desideratum with the medical
i proiession 10 prepare a prepumuuu ui uuu io?o
! objectionable than any of those now in use,
which often procure unfavorable effects upon
the system, especially when prepared with
alcoholic fluids,
j In many cases of debility and convalescence
, from disease, where a tonic is indicated, wine,
! braodv, porter, etc., have^been recommended;
but these are of doubtful efficacy, to sav the
least. Alcohol is never digested, is ranged
I among the diffusible stimuli, and is incapable
of affording nutrition. It creates generally an
! unnatural excitement and derangement of the
circulation, irritating the whole system by pre,
venting the blood from losing its carbon.
; Again, how difficult it is to obtain an article api
proaching to purity, almost all the wines,
brandies, porters, etc., being more or less
| adulterated.
Such being the case with regard to the spirit!
uous preparations of iron, and the alcoholic
drinks, of which any one can satisfy himself by
j investigating the subject, an opportunity is
now presented in the Peruvian Syrup, for the
I trial of an article in general practice, which
j has the very strongest recommendations from
! medical and scientific men cf the highest
j character?a preparation which so happily com!
bines the protoxide of iron with the other conj
stituent parts that the effects inoident to the
use of iron salts are entirely obviated.
I . For all cases iu which iron or any tonic*is
needed, this preparation is confidently believed
to be far superior to any other. It seems to
purify the very fountain of health.
