When tho siego commenced ho rejoined his company and wu? in charge of throe mortars plantod about a milo from tho city. Tho landing was made In March, from tho '$'.1 to tho 11th, and tho little band of l2,i>0U men opened tronchos, throw np breastworks and pl toted tho mortal's. Upon tlv idi'j's refusal to surrender fire .pened, and on the 20th thogarrt .Min surrendered und tho Avnerlcan troops entered tho walls. According to Sorgt. Walters, Gen.

Duncan's battery opened fire on them, but the Mexicans made good their es capo. Tho coach was what would now b?> ivjgnr<?odus> Jib. oW fashioned hack, and tho harness that waa still fastened to lt showed that tho mules or horses hud boon cut looso hi a hurry. In tho carriage was found tho wooden leg of Suntu Anna mid a number of boxes of gold and silver coln. This capture, mi.y s Sorgt. Wut tors, was tho founda tion of tho Soldiers' home. This money was very considerable, but ho does not know just how much there was. There was somo controversy at tho time ns to whother tho capture should be paid into tho treasury, birt Gen. .Scott cl nil n cd that it bolonged to tho army. Consequently he turned it over to tho quartermaster's department to bo spent in providing a homo in which old and wounded soldiers could spend tho latter part of their days. To this sum was added tho amount lovicd on thu inhabitants o? tho City of Mexico on Its surrender. Mr. Walters says that when Gen. Scott returned to this city ho sent for Gen. Wodi ?nd tho two went out to tho prosont location of tho homo and were shown over tho place by Mr. Riggs. It wns not, however, until they hud sampled tho bon water lu tho stiring that they concluded that the U'CuAlrtn was tho projior ono, although they 'indi iiliviady udmircd tho vlows from tho various sections of tho grounds. "As fur ns I know," said tho old sergoant, "I am tho only mun nlivo who participated hi tho capturo of that coach. There may bo others who were in tho battle, but of company II, Sec ond artillery, I do not know a singlo survivor. "-Washington Star. A Moun Kimi of Tliiovliitf. A lad named Miner Bonder was ar rested for stealing lithographs. This arrest was tho rovelation of a scheine that has been In practico for along time, and has become oxtensive in its proportions. It seems (hore is a firm hore which, on tho plan of old Fagin, tho Jew, in "Oliver Twist," employs lads to steal tho lithographs from the shop windows whero they havo been placed as advertisements. It ls only tho pict ures of tho most prominent actors and actresses and thoso having well known plays that aro coveted. When theso small purlolriers have secured a goodly supply and have undone, perhaps, tho ontlro week's work of a theatre bill board limn, thoy take them to this firm and receive a small compensation for the work thoy have performed, but nothing for tho crime. This liri it bas a uso for thoso pictures. They sell them at a profit to tho inanngors of barn storming companies, to bo used in small country towns. Thus aro tho people of thoso towns gulled by being mudo to believe that they uro Booing the popular plays of tho timon enacted by fnmous actors.

Arriving at a small town about noon ho started out uftor diiinor for n walk about tho village, on tho outskirts o? which ho como upon a building thronged with peoplo. Upon inquiry ho learned that tho building waa a church and that a wedding wa? about to ta ko place. Ho edged his way through tho crowd until ho roached n spot whore ho had a good viow of tho brido and groom and tho clergyman who was to perform tho coro niony. Tho church waa packed with tho exception of a low, dark gallery near tho roof. Thia waa apparently de serted. Tho minister proceeded with tho cere mony until bo ctuno to tho point whero tho custom then in voguo in that neigh borhood required him to pauso and in quire if thom waa any ono present who know any reason why the couple should not be mudo husband and wife.

For a long period astronomers Unsuc cessfully endeavored to determine tho distance between tito stars and tho earth, and lt ls only within a compara tively short limo that tho Interesting problem cnn bo s:?id to have been solved. Thc distance which separates us from tho nearest star ls, according to Professor Nichols, about 20(5,1)00 times gloater than tho distance from tho earth to tho sun, or 05,000,000 of miles multi plied by 201), 000. Alpha, in the constellation of the Contour, is the star nearest tho earth; its light occupies three whole years In traversing tho dislance which separates us from tho little blinking orb; or, in other words, should Alpha be blotted out of existence today wo would bo woll Into tho sunnuor of 1803 before tho inhabitants of this mundano sphere would bo aware that Alpha no longer existed. Yet light travels so rapidly as to occupy no perceptible space of tinto in Hashing urouiid our globo. If tho sun woro transported to tho pince occupied by this, tho nearest star, tho vast circular disk, which in morn ing rises majestically above tho horizon and tn evening occupies a consid erable time In descending entirely bo low tho same line, would havo dimen sions puny |n their insignificance.
