Watrous, a writer of "war stories," about two small boys who, during the Civil war, found their way into the Louisiana regiment to which the captain belonged. Both were from 10 to 12 years old, and both had run away from home, and were serving as drummers. At the battle of Shiloh one of these little fellows threw away his drum early in the engagement, picked up the musket of a wounded soldier, and fought like a young hero as long as the battle raged. Not long after the battle, while the boy-soldier's laurels were still fresh upon him, his mother learned where he was and came after him. The regiment was drilling at the time, and the boy was with it. The mother rushed . upon the drill ground and seized her boy. "Run away from home, will you ?" she screamed, "why, you are nothing more than a baby. You come right home with your mother." As the boy showed some unwillingness, she took him across her knee, and, in the presence of the whole regiment, gave him a sound spanking. Then she led him away, the boy crying and boo-hooing at the top of his voice. She had to wait some little time for a chance to get away, and meantime one of the soldiers saw the boy, who was still crying, and asked if he was crying because his mother huH him. "No !" be shouted. "Do you suppose a soldier like me would cry because he was hurt? Didn't I fight just as well as the best of them at the great battle ?" "Yes, Johnny, but what are you cryinc about!" o ? "I'm crying because my mother spanked me right before the whole regiment 1" In spite of his protests, the boy had to go home with bis mother, as was proper. The Soup.?A coachman suddenly raised to the post of waiter at a dinner party, when a sudden resignation had left the place vacant within an hour of the assembling of the guests, was delighted. The host was delighted to find that an old dress coat and vest would fit the coachman, and 10 minutes were spent in acquainting the servant with the usage of polite society at a dinner. Among other things, the host told the coachman that be was on no account to ask any of the guests to be helped a second time to soup. The guests took their places at the table, and the soup was quite creditably served. The coachman observed *1 1?-j mat one gentleman pusucu ujs pmic of soup from him. The servant leaned over and drew the plate back again in front of the gentleman, who in turn pushed it from him again. This displeased the coachman. He thought he saw a breach of decorum in the action. "Ate your soup, sor !" said he in trumpet tones, "yez'llgetno more." Not So Very Slow.?Down in Ohio the other day, not very far from Cleveland, I took a carryall or 'bus at a country station to ride inland a few miles. The driver, who carried the mail for Uncle Sam, was disposed to be quite communicative. "You don't live 'round here, I suppose?" he remarked, interrogatively. "No, not now," I replied. "I'm from Chicago." "Pretty big place, ain't it?" he continued. "Yes, it's a large city," I said. " 'Spose there's something goin' on there most of the time, ain't there ?" he asked. I nodded affirmatively. "Well, we ain't so darned slow down here," he added. "Had a dance in the Hinckley Ridge schoolhouse last night, and there'll be a turkey raffle Tuesday." Where He Was Working.?There is a certain would-be fashionable dame whose name is not as melodious as it might be, and it is a source of great annoyance to her. Her husband sturdily keeps to its obvious unvarnished pronunciation, "Swett," but she pronounces it "Sweet," and expects all her acquaintances to follow suit. The tnwn in whirh their countrv nlace is located has a local wit, if he is only an Irish working man, and as he trudged homeward one night at 6 o'clock he met a former employer, who said : "How d'ye do, Mike? Where are you you working now ?" "Well, sor," says Mike, with an Irish grin, "shure, this wake I'm working for Mr. Swett and Mrs. Sweet!" And before twenty-four hours the joke was all over town. John Campbell tells a story in The Green Bag about the cross-examination of a bad-tempered female in his court. She was an Amazonian person. Her husband, obviously the weaker vessel, sat sheepishly listening. The opposing attorney pressed a certain question rather urgently, and she said, angrily, "You needn't think to catch me. You tried that once before." The lawyer said, "Madam, I have not the slightest desire to catch you, and your husband looks as if he was sorry he did." t ? j.. ^f arv,; UKD ti?uj > itiiui uuitc ui cujinent physician)?I have called, doctor, to ask if there is any cure for sleepwalking.

Needles are all made by machinery.

GRIZZLY BILL'S UWDOIWGT BY J. A.'MEISTER. "Thrilling?" said the major; "well, I should say so. It was the most exciting thing that ever occurred to me. Why, I can't even think of it now without shuddering a little. I was considerably younger in those days than I am now. At the time I was a telegraph operator and dispatcher for the Mountain Valley Railroad company in a western mining country. It was a wild and lawless - t .?? u i^..? COUDiry, auu A WOO uui muuu IU 1UIC with my place, but being poor I was obliged to accept the conditions with the best possible grace; "Goldton, where I was located, was really nothing more than a railroad station. It was not on the main line of the Mountain Valley railroad, but on a spur which ran to the Ingot mines. Travel was not very extensive; in fact, but one train a day passed my lonely station. "On the 15th day of every month I received by express for the superintendent of the Ingot Mining company the money with which the miners were paid off. The amount averaged between $15,000 and $18,000. On the 14th of June in that year the superintendent of'the mines came to me aud said : " 'Perkins, the pay money will be here tomorrow as usual; but I want you to exercise more than ordinary vigilance in guarding it, as I understand Grizzly Bill is operating in the mountains again.' "Grizzly Bill was a name to inspire terror. The individual who bore that unmusical sobriquet was an outlaw of ereat daring and resolution; he stop ped at nothiDg. It was therefore, quite natural for me to feel some little trepidation. I assured the superintendent, however, that I would do all in my power to guard the money; and I think," continued the major with some self-satisfaction, "that I kept my word in this respect. "During the night which followed, a violent rain storm swept through the mountains, Shortly before 10 o'clock the next morning I received word over the wire that the train from Pikeville could not get to Goldton owing to a washout below Summit Rock. It was thought that the track could be made passable by afternoon, and that the train would reach my station before 6 o'clock. I communicated these facts to the mine superintendent by means of an assistant who was always at the station during the day. "At 5 o'clock that evening I received a message saying that it would be impossible for the train to get through before 9 or 10 o'clock the next morning. I sent word to this effect to the mine superintendent, who, in turn, communicated it to the men. Feeling rather tired I turned in early that night. Sleep, however, was out of the question. "The baggage, freight, express and telegraph offices were all under one roof. One corner of the big warehouse (it was hardly anything else) was partitioned off so as to to make a private inclosure. ^his box-like com partment I used for sleeping, eating and the transaction of the company's telegraphic and railroad business. The sounder and receiver were affixed to a table conveniently near my bed and if necessary it was possible to transmit or take a message without even arising. Of course I never found it necessary to do this; I simply mention it to illustrate the arrangement of the office. "Along toward midnight the telegraph instrument began to click. I heard my call, opened the key and uctrarl o>hnf. wns wented. The onera tor at Pikeville wired back that the train which had been delayed on account of the washout had started for Goldton, and would reach there between 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning. At precisely 2.45 o'clock the train steamed into Goldton. "The express messenger alighted and banded me a huge and many-sealed package. It contained $17,500. " 'Ob, that isn't all,' said the messenger with a laugh ; 'I have a box in the car that's as heavy as lead. We've been wondering all the way up the mountain what it contained.' "The box was lifted from the cur and placed on end in the freight department of the station. It was fully seven feet long and four wide?horribly suggestive of the rough box in which a coffin is inclosed. I thought of this after the train had resumed its journey. I put the pay money in the safe, turned the combination lock and retired. I fell iuto a doze, from which I was aroused with a start by what seemed to be the ticking of the sounder. It said as clear as if .some one had spokeu, 'Beware ; danger threatens.' I sat up iu bed. The raoou was shining brightly through the window. I gazed intently at the sounder. It made not the slightest motion, yet the message came again, this time even more startingly distinct than before. What could it possibly mean ? I thought that I was dreaming at first; but when tbe mysterious message was repeated for the third time I came to a different conclusion. I don't believe in spiritualism, yet I am at a loss now to ascribe that inexplicable communication to any other source. "At any rate, upon hearing the third iliessage my mind instantly reverted to the huge box in the freight corner. The partitioning of my little apartment did not extend as high as the roof, but merely to a distance of about 5 feet above the level of my bed, and by standing on the bed I could peer over the top and see all parts of the interior of the station. I rose stealthily to an erect position and looked over the edge of the partition. The first thing I saw was the box, stand ing on end near a window in the extreme end of the station; and as I looked I saw its top slowly rise and a man's head protrude itself. "It was a thick, brutalized face, with grizzled whiskers. Instantly it flashed across my mind that it belonged to Grizzly Bill. "The sight sent my heart into my throat with a bound, for I realized only too well that the outlaw would stop at nothing to get the money which he knew was in my possession. To him murder was child's play. But after the first emotion of fear I felt perfectly calm. In truth, I felt as though fate had thrown this desperado in iny way, so that I could conquer , him. I don't know why I felt thus; probably I experienced the same etnotious that a soldier does who goes into battle with fear and trembling, yet who, *tohen actually in the midst of danger, feels as cool and collected as though he were out of reach of all possibility of barm. "I got out of bed, picked up the coal shovel and scuttle and made as much noise as -possible. As the night had beeu an unusually cool one a fire was burning, and as I passed the stove I grabbed my revolver and thrust it into my right coat pocket. Iuto my left pocket I thrust some uails and a hammer. Then, whistling as loudly as possible to mislead the desperado in [the box, I. left the little office and walked across the floor of the freight part of the station. When immediately in front of the box I sprang at it with the fury of & man fighting for his life and overturned it. It fell to the floor, top up, with a resounding crash. Instantly I was astride the box drivI ing nails into the lid as hard and fast as a man in terror for his life could do. Aud all that while I was yelling at the imprisoned outlaw at tne top 01 my voice, telling bim that if he so much as breathed I would instantly kill him. "But my threats did not appear to frighten him much. From the interior of the box came a volley of muffled oaths that would have astonished a Digger Indian. I never heard such horrible profanity. I fired my pistol twice in the air to let him know that I meant business. After a while he became quiet. I carefully examined the box and found that there was no danger of suffocating, for at the upper end were a number of tiny perforations which freely admitted air. "I sat astride that box until my assistant arrived at 7 o'clock. It was a long and trying vigil, but the magnitude of my victory buoyed me up. My assistant was almost too much amazed to speak when I told him of my capture. He quickly went to the mines and told the superintendent io hasten at once with a sufficient guard of men to the station, and take Grizzly Bill into custody. It didn't take long to do this, aud when Bill was hauled by no gentle hands from the box he was the angriest outlaw ever captured. He fought like a tiger, but it was of no use. The men who had bim captive knew how dangerous he was. He was securely bound, and later in the day taken to Pikeville, where he was sentenced to a loug term of imprisonment in an eastern penitentiary. "That little adventure," concluded the major, "proved to be the turning point in my career. I was promoted to an important position in the city, where t prospered as you see. I am today quite coutent with myself and the world in general. Thus you see Grizzly Bill's undoing was my making." STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County of York. IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. W. E.
