A BTOKY ABOUT MAH ONE.
Mentally, if hia opponents are fit
judges, Senator Mahone, of Virginia,
weighs aomething like a ton; But on the
scale he tips the beam at less than an
hundred pounds. In appearance he is
as lean and 4hin as a greyhound; and it
is doubtful if his avoirdupois in gross
could be made to yield adipose sufficient
to lubricate the wing of a humming
bird. The following pretty good story
of his exceeding leanness is told of him :
During the late war, while in command
of a division of 'Confederates, he, like
many pthers, had the misfortune to be
wounded; but, as it happened on that
occasion, not seriously. An acquaint
ance, about to visit Richmond, was re
quested to call upon the General’a wife
for the puyxjse of relieving any anxiety
she might feel on account of her absent
lord by explaining the nature and extent
of his injury. Col. called at the
lady's resilience, and, as report goes,
found her in tears, she haring already
received the news of her husltaud's
wounding by telegraph. The officer at
tempted to reassure her by the statement
that tha General would be on duty
again in a few days, but without avail.
“Why, madam,” he expostulated,
“you ought not to give younelf so
much CoBcara; he received only a fltah
wound ; no home are broken."
“ Ah, Colonel,” aho sobbed, “ you—
don't know th’—the General as well ss I
—I do, or you would not tell m—me he
could be—be wounded without strik—

Of course nothing more could bo said.

to believe that anybody could stand up

ice, Thomas proposed to fasten them on
a young brave for a trial.
The Indians welcomed the plan with
glee, for though savages they wore great
lovers of sport. Selecting the bravest
and swiftest young fellow, the chief
bade him stick out his feet, which he » a ~.i,i ...

in the winter he had to wear snow-
shoes in going through tha woods to
rkit hk traps ; and one year hs brought
lack s psur of skates, that he thought
would be handy when the ice was dear.
And very handy he found them at such
tunqs, for hs could skats s dozen miles
as easy ss hs could walk two, and the
pack on hk back never seemed so light
ss when be had hk steel shoes on, and
could skim along the glaasy surface of
the lake or river.
One very cold, dear day, when the
ice was good, he weht to vkit some mink
traps almost twenty miles north of hk
cabin. He skated to near the spot,
along the shore of the lake, and then
took off hk akatee and put on hk snow-
shoes to travel over the deep snpw y . a
mile or two into the woods. He knew
that an Indian tribe from Canada had
come down to make war on those who
lived near him, but never thought they
would trouble him.
All at once hk good dog Bruno, that
had been running ahead on a deer-track,
stopped, sniffed the air, bristled .np an
grily and began to growl; and before
Thomas could carry hk rifle to his
shoulder he was surrounded by a dozen
howling Indians, who- sprung from
their hiding-place in the thicket brau-
dkhing their tomahawks and yelling like
mad. ,
The old man was brave, but he wasn’t
a fool; and, instead of showing fight
against such odds, he laid down hk rifle
and folded hk arms. He could talk but
little Indkn, and they could speak even
less Englkh ; but by signs atfd motions
he made out to let thorn know that he
wnsu’t on the war-path, but after furs.
The Indians threatened no harm when
they found him peaceful, but were much
interested in hk arms and dress, for
they hadn't at that time seen many
white men. The snowshoea they under
stood all about, for vou know the In-
from under him, and down he came with
a crack I Such shouts of laughter as
the rest sent up I The young fellow was
gritty, aqd scrambled up to try it again,
but with the same result ~
The chief now signaled to the hunter
to show them how the things worked.
Thomas fastened on the skates with
great care, picked up hk rifle and used
it ss a cane, pretending to support him
self. He moved about awkwardly, fell

The winter of 1842-8 has passed into
the records of Northern Illinois as “ the
hard winter,” The early qpttlers of the
northern part of the State remember its

continuing on the 10th; the pinching

At that time the country was new, the
nettlemeuis were sparse, and it was often

prairies between settlements. The
houses of the settlers were many of them

nbrub to protect them from the driving
winds and penetrating snows. Hence
that whiter has paaeed into history, and
k now referred to aa " the hard winter."
During that winter the snow averaged
thirty inches deep. It fell before the
ground froze np, and lay in such a body
that the ground did not freeze at all ex

snowfall it pjled into great drifts, so that
it was even with the tops of the rail

it bore cattle, horses and men on its sur

When Maiibran returned in 1884
the London stage after an absence
two yean, she electrifidd English opera-
goers both by her acting and singing in
the character of I* Somnambula, in
Bellini’s opera, » part which she made
pcrfectlyisiJrtWlSi distancing all com-
petitora. Templeton, we are told, took
the part of El vino; but the impassioned
Maiibran, who entered heart and soul
into every character the undertook, was
at first reduced almost to despair by the
itnpidhlp—d puntAwte of the Scotch
singer, who had not the slightest idea of
acting. It was enough for him, says an
old eye-witness, to walk ou and off and
about the stage, coming in with hk
part at the proper cues, and singing at
hk best. But thk would not satisfy
Maiibran. At th* first rehearsal she
bore Templeton’s imperturbability of
manner with some degree of patience,
thinking she could rouse “the man," as
she called him, into something like en
thusiasm by her own example. But
when, at the next and succeeding re
hearsal, she found him “ no better than
a stick,” she suddenly seized him by the
arm and hissed into hk ear :
“Good heavens ! sir, don’t you know
you are my lover ? You meat make love
to me with some show of passion in the
first act, and in the second you must
pull me about as if you would tear me

“ Bui,” replied Templeton, as meekly
as a lamb, “ but, madam, I shall hurt
you."
" And what if you do K screamed the
impetuous woman. “ Never you
—that’s my affair ; and, if you don’t do
it—suiting the action to th* word by
stamping her pretty little foot —by
