Then* \v:is great commotion in the old Hackledown farmhouse : not because court was sitting in the county town close by. but'because file honorable Jeduthan Haekledown, the learned judge of that court, who walked with a goldheaded cane, and sat in monstrous dignity all tlie week, had sent word he was coming to make a visit! He wanted to see it the haymows smelt as sweet, and the pumpkin pies tasted as good as they did when he was a boy on the old place! " tioodness' alive!" ejaculated Mrs. Haekledown, "of course they won't! And if he comes expecting it, he'll be disappointed, and I shall feel as uncomfortable #as a hen with a brood of ducks! Of course, I'm proud to have Uncle .Teduth come; but think of the things he's seen since ever he lived on the old fann! Do send Medad right* out to-kill some pullets, Mr. Ilackledown, and tell Mink to carry some good stout wood up into the best chamber quick! He'll be here liefore we know it." Hut there \v;ls no one lucky enough not to know it long. Every one. old or young, was sent flying in some direction; every kettle and baking pan-was brewing such goodies as only Mrs. Hackledown knew how to make, and she herself attended to shaking ui> the mountainous feather bed in "Uncle Jeduth's room," and getting her sheets from the lavenderscented pile. -" I believe I do feel like the old hen," she said, half laughing, as she sat down to the tea table at last. " I don't know whether I'm most proud or most worried; that's the truth." "Uncle Jeduthan is a larned man! They say all the lawydrs fake his advice on knotty p'nts," saici Mr. Ilackledown, solemnly rolling his eyes round the table, and resting them at last on Mink, whose sleeves were still chippy from the armfuls of wood he had been carrying up stairs. " And that isn't all, either. They say he knows everything, pretty nigh." Mink almost shivered in his shoes. His friendless life in the New York streets, before a charitable society picked him up and sent him to Paradise with the Ilaekledown?. had given him a horror of judges. Besides that, this one seemed equal to -forty of ordinary measure. So monstrous learned, rich and grand; where could Mink hide his diminished tow-white head from his sight? He did not have long to decide, for bright and early n?xt morning a twohorse carriage drove into the back yard, the driver got down, and with Mr. Ilackledown's and Mrs. Ilackledown's flustered assistance, got the carriage-door open and the judge, ^old-headed cane and all, landed on flirt horseblock. ' Well, well, well!" Mink heard him say, as he peeped breathlessly through the grapevine, and then Mr. and Mrs. iiacKieuown nroKe in, una tuey an disappeared iuto tht house. " I aim goiif in 10 dinner,*1 muttered Mink to himself. " I've got a doughnut in my pocket now. and 'twill lie dark by supper-time !*' lint Mrs. llackledown \yas too sharpeyed for that, and Mink was summoned, and his face scruboed and "shining, as the last ?li^h went smoking on thetHble. Mink?" repeated Uncle .ledutlian, inquiringly, as Mrs. Hackledown went through the form of an introduction. Where ilid he get such a name as that?*' " Oh." said Mrs. Hackledown, apologetically, 44 T ought to have said Doniinii iis. They hadaioolish way of calling him 'White Rabbit' where he came from, and I had to lind a name for him &s* best I might. There, go and -sit down. Mink." ? The.juflge's broad red fa^e shone back again into Mink's with clear good nature, and then lie squeezed his portly sides into the great armchair they had placed for him. and dinner began. But Mink never knew whether he ate potatoes or ch^ken ptew, as the judge went on with st<*ies, reminiscences of old days, and accounts of wondrous things in the world, until, for the tirst time in Mrs. Hackledown's housekeeping life, Mr. Hackledown had to signal to her that it was time for the pumpkin pie. The great nrmsful of wood lay neglected, for tlie cold had vanished, and the sofi. haze of Indian summer gathered round and melted everything and everybody into a luxurious sense of comfort. " Can'tl get out to the old back porch ?" said Uncle Jeduth, when stories and ceremonies were ended at last. " I should like to take my after-dinner nap there, as I used to when I was a boy." " Stirhiinsaid Mr. Ilackledown. and Mrs. Ilackledown bustled into the parlor for the big straw " rock chair," and Uncle Jeduthan settled comfortably into it, threw an enormous silk handkerchief over his face, and silence reigned. Pumpkin pie had conquered learning, wisdom, and authority of the law. "Thejudge grew drowsy, he slept, he snored! At that instant a stealthy step crept toward the porch, and two shining eves blinked at the judge through the vine leaves at the end of it. They were Mink's favorite hiding-place on lazy afternoons; why shouldn't he enjoy it to- day ? The judge was past seeing and hearing, that was sure. 44 They say h? knows everything," said Mink to himself, gazing at the handkerchief under which the judge's wondrous brain miwt lie. 44 IIow did he ever fetch it? Wisht I knowed. Wisht I knowed how they spell .Jedutli, too!" Mink went mentally over a column in his speller. 44truth." 44ruth." "booth;" it was of no use, hut anyhow, the judge used to drive the cows to the Hackledowri pasture once; and look at him today ! Mink had great aspirations, especially after 44 knowing things," but wonder got them all in a jog this time. 441)on't care, anyhow," he was just ready to say" in despair, when uo crept another stealthy step. Didn't old Tan, the tortoise-shell, know where to find Mink, and the game that two could play at on such afternoons? 44(?uy!" exclaimed Mink, under his breath, and the game began. One swoop of Mink's right hand caught a fly. and his left set Tab on her hind legs. 44*Now! ' Open your mouth and shut your eyes, ami I'll give you something to make you wise!' One, two, thret!" Down came Tab's eyes, open came her mouth, and in went me ny. it was a game that never wore out. and the judge and all perplexing questions were forfotton. ' Flies were getting scarce, but link had the ninth one just going, when a stentorian voice called suddenly: "Dominicus!" Bless us and save us! The jjklge had come to life again! With one wild spring Tab flew away, and with his tow hair ready to stand on end, Mink crept out oi the vine to face his honor. " J)ominicus," said thejudge, giving the handkerchief a sleepy pull from off his face, " what's that you're saying?" Mink tremblingly repeated. "Well, now, 1 can teach you a game worth two of that. Listen tome! and thejudge struggled up in his chair, and got himself fairly awake. "Open your outh, and your ears, and your eye6, and ! I'll promise you something to make you ' wise." 1 Mink's mouth and eyes were certainly ' i open, whatever his ears might be, ana J the judge went on. " I)o you Know what 13 that means? Well-, now, let me tell you. 1 That's been my rule for life, and that's 11 the reason I'm not living here on the old i farm, good as it is, and holding the j I . plow while you drive the steers. It | ' means, whenever you are with anybody ; , that will answer questions, ask 'em J about the things they know best. A lawyer knows some things that a doctor 1 , doesn't: a doctor knows something a ] , blacksmith doesn't, and a blacksmith s ' i i i i !a.1 r i Knows a goou ueai unit iiriuu-i ui mnu i j ever hoard of.Ask 'em! Ask 'cm! When j 1 you don't happen to meet anybody that's ' t , alive, ask the dead ones. Did you ever i J hear of Noah Webster?" Mink shook his bewildered head. j * ' Well, lie's dead, but he's an excellent i * fellow to know ; he'll answer you forever, j If you can't afford him life-size, cot a : j small one and keep him in your poeket." ' ! The judge leaned back and fumbled j into his own, and Mink gazed, expecting 1 to see a ghost of Noah appear. Xo! Out came something white, but ( , too new and too solid for a ghost. A shining, fresh half dollar. * 1 "There, take that to the bookstore and tell old Hibliothc i to give you a Noah A that will go into your yocket easy. And ; mind he comes out esisy too. Keep ask- j 1 inghim! Keep asking him! That's the j i way." _ ; y ' Indian summer melted away and solid j winter settled into its place, but by the j1 time Medad reported the snow " twelve , i inches on a level, square," Noah had be- j c ; gun to wear a ridgy place just uver!1 ! Mink's pants-pocket. untf the judge had ; s ni:ule sharper marks vet on Mink* him-i , | self. ' i . " Don't see what in natur' has come | t , over that hoy,'' said Medad, gazimr i I thoughtfully after Mink as he disappeared j 'with the mi'k-pail one morning. "He's I the mastered hand to ask questions, all ^ ' of a sudden; there's nobody hut catches ? | it. What do vou think I heard him ask- i j ) ing the tin peddler this morning? Why, <] j lie was asking him what they put into ^ I tin besides antimony to make britannia f of it!" " Antimony!" exclaimed Mrs. Hackle- c down, with a glance at her bottle on the t - helf. "is the boy crazy?" but at that j instant the new doctor's sleigh whirled j into the yard. q The doctor had a call on a road he had t never investigated, and the snow was de<*p; could he obtain a pilot? j " Send Mink," suggested Medad. " I'll j do the milking, and he^ can find out all about antimony," and in three minutes j more the sleigh whirled out of the yard again, with the tip of Mink's nose just r visible above the folds of the buffalo e robe, and a. busvthinkinggoinjon under \ his big cap, with ear-tabs of Mrs. Hack- j down's own knitting. r "A doctor knows some things that a f. lawyer doesn't!"

"All right down there? t is it pretty cold?1' he asked. \ es, sir." answered Mink, hesitating- t ly. "Only"? 1 "Only what?" " If you would be so kind as to tell me t what a tourniquet is?" c "A tourniquet!" ? and the doctor's ' laugh rang out over the snowy hills? i' " what ever put that into your head* A 1 tourniquet, my boy. is an instrument we use to stop the flow of blood from % Vounds, if we're going to cut ofl' a man's * leg, for instance." * "The arteries, you know." and the doctor began to warm up, " the arteries ' carry the blood from the heart down- 1 ward to the extremities; the veins only c bring it back; so when we don't want a man to bleed to death, we put on the j1 tourniquet above the wound. It clasps J round the leg or the arm, and by turn- * ing a screw, we give it such a grip that the arteries come to a dead halt, and * what little veins lose below, nmounts to nothing. Clear.is daylight, eh?" l' Mink nodded, and his eyes snapped ? under the rim of his big cap. 1 " And on a pinch, you can make one -? yourself," the doctor went on. " If you meet a wild Indian and he gives you a stab in your knee that you're afraid is ?oin<* to run you dry, just take your handkerchief and tie it looselyjust above. . Then cut *i small round stick from the J first tree, slip it through the handker- : chief, give it a few round turns, and vou I b.ive a tourniouet of vour own. Under stand?" ? Mink nodded again, and pointed to a wentherbeaten little hon.se just in siidit. v " Muelr obliged,1' lie said. "That s there's the house."

They belong- j ed to his cousin, Lucy Hackledown. and ( had been almost too much for Medad ( during the three weeks *he had been vis- ( iting the farm. There was only on'? thii% that saved r him. Nettie Newman, whose seat had r ].;? ** oil iiMntiir of uinirino'- r UCUJ1 Jll'AL I11U1 <U* vt iUbVi Ub >T*uw...n J school. had brown eyes, and Medad hail \ thought there Avasn't another such pair s in the world. But now, blue or brown, 1 brown or blue,-which was it? If he only i could get them both oft' on a May party 1 together, he was sure he might lincl out. ' and put an end to it. 1 "Mother," l?e said. " can you pet up j doughnuts and cold chicken enough for a i lot of us to go Maying to-morrow ?" t It was all settled; the big two-horse t wagon was "hitched up" bright and s early next morning, Tom Newman's l light buggy following behind, and room i made miraculously for everybody, Mink s included, of course. All was ready at > last, even to Medad's special pride, a r monstrous holiday* handkerchief, which < paraded a red-plaided corner out of his 1 breast-pocket, and a new reel of small t rope that he threw into the wagon at tiie s last moment. "Girls are always want- > ing to tie wreaths, or some such non- < sense.

It was almost perpendicular, the ravine -1 seeming like a cleft in a solid wall of rock, < at the bottom of which lay a tiny brook, i and just width enough for a narrow wagon-track to squeeze beside it.

Consideration of the army appropriation bill wus resumed. Mr. Tucker submitted an amendment to repeal section 1,218 of the revised statutes. This is the section which prohibits the appointment to the army of any person who served in any capacity in the military, i naval or civil service of tht Confederate States. Mr. Conger raised a point of order against the 1 amendment on the ground that it was new legi Islation and not germane to the bill. He aiter, ward withdrew the point of order, but it was renewed by Mr. Sparks, and sustained by the chu'r. The consideration of the bill having been concluded, with tho exception ol section six, repealing the statutes allowing the military to preserve the peace at the polls, that section was read. Mr. Conger rose to a point ol order that the se|tiou changed existing law ; and did not retrench expenditures. After a prolonged discussion the House adjourned.

Mr. Gordon having appeared for the first time this session, the modified oath of ofilce wits administered to him, and he resumed his seat. ....The Senate resumed consideration ol the i bill making an appropriation of ^200,000 for the construction of a steel vessel, to be used for the disinfection of vessels nnd cargoes coming from ports supposed to be inlected with yellow fever or other contagious diseases. Mr. Harris offered a substitute to meet the objection of Senators to the general bill, authorizing the secretary of the treasury to contruct for the purchase or construction of a vessel provided | with refrigerating upparutus for the purpose named, or arrange with the navy department for the use of a vessel.

Mr. Sparks introduced the army appropriation bill, lie explained that it was substantiid1 ly the bill that had passed thelIou.se in the last 1 session of the last Congress, with the provisions ' in regard to tho reorganization of the army stricken out. It was also substantially the bill which had been passed by the Senate, with the provision inserted repealling the two statutes allowing the use of troops at the polls. It was ' really the bill which had been informally 1 agreed upon in the conlerence committee, excepting that portion repealing tho statutes in regard to the use of trooDs at the noils. The, House then went into committee of the whole. i Tho bill was read in full. It appropriates ? 25,797,300. It limits the number of enlisted men to 25,000, including Indian scouts and hospital stewards. It contains the clause authorizing railroad companies to do a general telegraph business. It amends section 2,002 of the revised statutes so as to prohibit the presence of troops at the place where any general or special election is held, "unless it be necessary to repel the armed enemies of the United States." It also amends section 5,528 in the same sense, making it a penal offense for any officer in the civil, military or naval i service to order or nave troops at any pmcc where a general or special election is held. After disposing of nearly all the ordinary provisions ol" the oill and voting down an amendment to reduce the army to 15,000 men, the House adjourned. Debate was continued on the clauso in the army appropriation bill forbidding the presence of troons at the polls. Mr. Conger's point of order uuit?he clauso was now legislation and not in the interest of retrenchment, was overruled by the chairman. Mr. Conger appealed from the decision, but the House sustained the ruling by a vote of 125 to 107. General Garfleld then took the floor and presented the Republican case in a long speech. Messrs, Stephens and McMahon were the principal speakers on the Democratic side. Adjourned. Mr. Atkins reported the legislative appropriation bill. It appropriates between $15,000,000 and $16,000,000. Under the judicial head it contains a provision repealing the last clause of section 800 of the revised statutes, which applies to the State of Pennsylvania, and sec' tions 801, 820 and 821 of the revised statutes, and providing that all jurors, grand and petit, shall be publicly drawn from a box containing the names of not less than 300 persons possess ing the necessary qualifications, which names I shall have been placed therein by the clerk of i the court and a commissioner, to be appointed by the judge, which commissioner shall be a well-known member of the principal political party opposing that to which the clerk ahaM I belong. It also repeals sections 2,016, 2018 p and 2,020, and all the succeeding sections down \ to and including 2,027, and also section 5,522. c It also strikes out of section 2,019 the words t " for the pin-pose of engaging in the work of t canvassing the ballots," and strikes out of sec- E tion 2,028 the words " or a deputy marshal," and the words " city, town, county, parish." ?

Jielford, Con- ^ ger and Frye on tlie Republican. Adjourned. An effort was made by Mr. Sparks to have a time fixed for closing the debate on the army 2 appropriation bill. Suggestions were made to have a night Bession, to restrict speeches to ' fifteen minutes each, and to close the debate 1 tho next day. Objections was made to all J these propositions, Mr. Conger stating that 4 a number of gentlemen on both sides.hatl given j notice of their desire to speak; also that many j had prepared speeches, and would not like to s be restricted to illteen minutes; and also, that j few members would be present at the night ? session. On both sides it was declared that there was no desire to shut off debate; and * tho speaker gave it as his experience that an unlimited debate was the shortest debate. Finally, on motion of Mr. Dunnell, all general ] debate was ordered closed on the following ( Friday, leaving the flve-minutc debate still l open. The debate was then continued by j Messrs.

( Adjourned. . ] The Fitz-John Porter Case. < The oflicial report of the board of in- ] quiry in the Fitz-John Porter case lias < been approved by the President and 1 the Secretary of War, and the general " will now be restored to his old rank and 1 position in the army. The report of the 1 board, which consisted of Generals j Scholield, Terry and Getty, gives a nar- ' rative of the events which gave rise to j the charges against General Porter, omitting unessential details and limiting themselves to a plain statement of es- ( sential facts established by positive i pro.of. Concerning the charge or which ] General Porter was found guilty?not i having moved his command on the night of August 27, 18C2, in obedience to an order from General Pope?the board , report that it was a manifest physical impossibility to march over that road , that night: that nothing would have been gained by the attempt, and that it 1 would have been wiser if General Porter i had delayed the attempt still longer than he did; that he exercised the very ordinary discretion of a corps commander, and that it was his plain duty to so exercise it. i The report closes as follows: "General Porter was, in effect, condemned for not ' having taken any part in his own ] battle. Such was the error upon which I General Porter w:is pronounced guilty I , of the most shameful crime known among soldiers. We believe not one among all the gallant soldiers on that bloody field was less deserving of such condemnation than he. The evidence of bad animus in Porter's case ceases to be material in view of the evidence of his soldierly and faithful conduct. But it is our duty to say that the indiscreet and unkind terms in which General Porter expressed his distrust of the capacity of his superior commander (General Pope) pntinnt- hn defended, and to that indis crction was clue in very great measure the misrepresentation of both his motives and his conduct and his consequent condemnation. Having thus given the reasons for our conclusions, we have the honor to report, in accordance with the President's order, that in our opinion justice requires at his hands such action as may be necessary to annul and set aside the findings and sentence of the court-martial in the o.-ise of Mr\jor-General Fitz-John Porter and to restore him to the position of which that sentence deprived him, such restoration to take effect from the date of his dismissal from the service." SURROUNDED BY ZULUS. The Story of a Young English Officer'* Tin * ! *? nf Tsnnrlnln. The following letter from II. SmithDoriiui, a young English officer, gives a graphic account of his escape during the massacre of British troops in South Africa: At about half-past one the Zulus were seen coming over the hills in thousands. < They were in most perfect order, and seemed to be in about twenty rows o 1 skirmishers one behind the other. They were in a semicircle round our two flanks and in front of us, and must have covered several miles of ground. Nobody knows how many there were of them, but the general idea is at least , 20,000. Well, to cut the account short in half an hour they were right up to the camp. I was out with the front com- i panies of the Twenty-fourth, handing them spare ammunition. Bullets were i flying all over the place, but I never 1 seemed to notice them. The Zulus near- 1 ly all had firearms of some kind and lots ' of ammunition. Before we knew where we were they came right into the camp, assegain<* everybody right and left, j i'.YPryOOClY Ull'n WHO imu u nurse lumm to lly. The enemy were going at a kind of very fast half-walk and hall-run. On looking round we saw that we were completely surrounded and the road to ltorke's Drift was cut off. The place where they seemed thinnest was where 'we all made for. Everybody went pellmell over ground covered with huge bowlders and rocks till we got to a deep sprint or gully. IIow the horses got over I have no idea. I was riding a broken-kneed old crock which did not belong to me, and which I expected to go 1 on its liead every minute. We had to go bang through them at the sprint. Lots : of our men were killed there. I had lots ' of marvelous escapes, and was firing 1 away at them with my revolver as I gal- ! loped aloi}g. TJie ground there down to ! the river was so broken that the Zulus went as fiist as the horses, and kept killing all the way. There were very few ; white men; they were nearly all mount- < ed natives of ours flying. This lasted ! till we came to a kind of precipice down j to the river Buffalo. I jumped off and led my horse down. ] There was a poor fellow of the mount- , cd infantry (ft* private) struck through the sirm, who said as I passed that if I i could bind up his arm and stop the 1 bleeding lie would be all right. T accordingly took my handkerchief anil tied < up his arm. Just as I had done it, Major Smith, of the artillery, came down ! by me, wounded, saying: "For God's i sake get on, man; the Zulus are on the 1 top of us." I had done all I could for J the wounded man, and so turned to i jump on my horse. Just as I was doing ' so tlie horse went with a bound to the bottom of the precipice, being struck with an sissegai. I gave up all hope, as ( the Zulus were all round mp,finishing off the wounded, the man I had helped and j Miijor Smith among the number. However, with the strong hope that every- i body clings to that some accident would 1 turn up, I rushed off on foot and plunged ] into the river, which was little better ( than a roaring torrent. I was being < carried down the stream at a tremen- J dous pace, when a loose horse came by i me, and I got hold of his tail, and he landed me safely on the ot^er bank; J but I was too tired to stick to him and c get on his back. I got up again and < rushed on, and was several times knock- 1 ed over by our mounted natives, who would not gdl out of ray way, then up a ? tremendous hill, with my wet clothes i and boots luu 01 waier. About twenty Zulus got over the { water and followed us up the hill, but, I i am thankful to say, they had not their * firearms. Crossing.the river, however, the Zulus on the opposite side kept firing at us as we went up the hill, and killed J several of the natives round me. I was t the only white man to be seen until I T came to one who had been kicked by hjs Z horse and could not mount. I put him J on his horse and lent him my knife. lie 1 said lie would' catch me a horse. Di- u rectly he w:is up he went clean away. ?' A few Zulus followed us lor about three ; miles across the river, but they had no ; guns, and I had a revolver, which I kept j letting them know. Also the mounted j natives stopped a little and kept firing at them. They did not come in ciose, and finally stopped altogether. Well, to cut it short, I struggled into Helpma- J kaar, about twenty miles off, at night- * fall, to iincl a few men who had escaped, I I about ten or twenty, with others who | I had been intrenched in a wagonla ager. j ? ~ i < A young lady rejoices that she did no "J liave to buy any furs last winter, bo- r c.iuse the gentleman who waited on b< r j was both a muff and a boa.

Pierce, having acquired a reputation in the treatment of chronic diseases result- E( ing in professional business far exceeding his jg individual ability to conduct, some years ogo induced Several medical gentlemen to associate themselves with him, us the laculty of the ? World's dispensary, the consulting department of which has since been mefged with the Invalids' hotel. The organization has now been at completed and incorporated under statute "i1 enacted by tlio legislature of the State of lNre\v ,irs York, under the name and style of the "World's xnf Dispensary Medical Association." f(,r Wo clip tbe following from the Buffalo j Express: f A branch of the " World's Dispensary Medisnl Association " is to be established in London, ^ Eng., a step which the continually increasing j>oi European busiuess ot the Dispensary has been found to wan-ant, and next week Dr. B. T. Bedortha will sail for the great metropolis named, to superintend the organization of the new institution. This gentleman lias been for some four years associated with Dr. Pierce In 11 position of responsibility, and is well qualified n for the duty now entrusted to him. Hereto- t lore the foreign business of the World's Dispensary has been transacted through the *m tgency of prominent druggists, but it has as- r mined such proportions us to require more di- p rect care. Dr. Bedortha will no doubt success- th>fully carry out his mission, being a gentleman a I )1' excellent business abilities and most pleasing address. in .1 CHEW . }t' '11 le Celebrated ?
