President The Threats of a Crazy Man Under . Arrest at Washington. WASHINGTON, July 5-Friday even ing Officer Grot? arrested a carpenter, 47 years of age? who gave his name as Beodicbt Krebs. The prisoner is a na? tive of Sweden, and says be has been living in Springfield, III., for some years. He came here about three weeks ago and stopped for a night at the Co Iambus Hotel on Pe na sylvan ia avenue. The next morning be told the clerk, Hr. George Houston, that be was a. carpenter, and the latter gave bim a few days* work. Krebs then paid in advance for a room ia tbs hotel for a mon tb and took bis meals tn the adjoining boose. He. bad not occupied bis quarters in the hotel long before be began to talk about the President, and often inquired where be lived. Several years ago, be said, there were ?500,000 coming to himi from the government, but the President (Grant) got it and spent it. Then be said that President Cleveland owed him J^00,000,000, which 'he would have to pay, and be began talking about killing the President. One afternoon wben be bad one of tbsse crazy spells on, be beld a piece of soap in his hand and said : 'If I can't get anything else Til kill i Cleveland with this/ On Friday be said be was going to j get a doable-barreled shotgun and wben Cleveland was at Church on Sun - day he was going to shoot the top of bis bead off. Mr. Houston - thought that Krebs would carry bis threat into execution, and ito notified Officer Groff, who ar? rested bim. Friday night, wben seen in bis cell, . Krebs said that in 1875 President Grant convened a special term of the United States Court, which granted him (Krebs) $12.000 'for neglect of educa? tion and innocent suffering/ The President failed to keep bis contract, and be (Krebs) was defrauded out of the money. Now President Cleveland acts in the same manner. He intended to see the President when friends of both were present, so that if there was. any trouble each would bave a fair show. .Are you married or single V asked tba reporter. .I am single,' be answered, 'but it is not my fault.

The reunion of Northern and South? ern veterans on the battlefield of Get? tysburg on Saturday, July 2d, was a v grand affair. Gen. Pickett's widow was present and was treated with ?very evidence of hospitality and re? spect, being the guest of the Penn? sylvania brigade. Col. Banes, U. S. A., made a handsome speech and was replied to by Capt. R. P. Rives, of Riebcond, of Pickett's brigade. Many other speeches were made, and the following letter from President Cleveland was read : EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, June 24, 1887. I have received your invitation to attend, as a guest of thc Philadelphia brigade, a reunion of ex-Confoderatc soldiers of Pickett's division who sur? vived their terrible charge at Gettys? burg and those of the Union army now living by whom it was heroically resisted. The fiatemal meeting of these sol fliers upon the battlefield where 4wenty-four years ago in deadly fray they fiercely sought each others' lives, where they saw their comrades fall, and where all their thoughts were of vengeance and destruction, will illus? trate the general impulse of brave men and their honest desire for peace and reconciliation. Thc friendly assault there lo be ?made will be resistless, because in? spired by American chi valry ; and ito result will be glorious, because con? quered hearts will be its trophies o? success. Thereafter this battlefield will be consecrated by a victory which shall presage the end of the bitterness of strife, the exposure ol the sincerity which conceals hatred hy profession of kindness the. con demnation of frensied app^-ls to pas? sion for unworthy purposes and thc beating down of all that stands in tin: way of thc destiny of our united country. While those, who fought and win have so much to forgive lead in lin pleasant ways of peace, how wickec appears ihe traffic in sectional hate and the Le tray al of patriotic senti ment. lt surely cannot he wrong to desire lin? settled quiet which lights for om entire country the path t?> prosperity ami greatness ; nor wed the lessors of the *.var oe forgotten and its result* jeopardized in thc wish ?'jr that gena . ine fraterai?y which insures national pride and glory. ? should bo very glad to accept your invitation and be with you at this interesting reunion, but other ar? rangements already made and my offi? cial duties herc .will prevent my do? ing so. Hoping that the occasion will be as successful and useful as its pro? moters can desire, I am, yours very truly, GROVER CLEVELAND. The veterans of both sides went into, camp on Cemetery hill. The old soldiers who bad confront? ed each other in battle twenty-four years ago met as brothers and friends under the folds of their country's flag and vied with each other in the warmth of their fraternal greeting. Such meetings are productive of none but the best results. . Facts about the Three C's Railroad. Two large new freight engines have arrived at Black's for the use of the Charleston Cincinnati and Chicago. Road. They weigh forty-five tons each and are named 'Rutherford' and 'Cleve? land.' Another engine soon to arrive will be called 'York.' Chief Engineer Matson objects to : the abbreviation *Three CV for the: Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago I Road, and wents it called the 'Magnetic Line.' Col. P. P. Dickinson, who bas just gone over the line of the Three C's Road, says that the road bed is the '. finest he ever saw on a new road. Fifteen new freight cars with a capa? city of 40,000 pounds each, have been received at Blacks for use on the Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago Road, between Black's and Rotberford : ton. Previous to tbe arrival of thc new equipment the Three CY Road returned for taxation two passenger coaches, one baggage car, two box cars, twelve flat cars, seven hand cars and nine push cars. The completed track from Black's to Rutherfordton is forty-three and three-fifths miles of main track and one mile of Side track. Four miles are in South Carolina, twenty-one in Cleve? land and eighteen and three-fifths in Rutherford. The assessment ia South Carolina is $5,000 per mile, in North Carolina it is $3,500 per mile. The Kershaw Gazette says: 'It is probable that the amount paid out for Railroad work in this County daring the present week will reach at least ?15,000.' - ? i a The Manufacture of Type. Gutenberg, K?ster (if he ever lived), and most of the early printers made their own type, and this, indeed, is the germ and key of the whole industry. The making of type is now a calling by itself-the trade of the type-founder -but it is most curious that up to the invention of the type-casting .machine in 1838 by an American, David Bruce, Jun., of New York, there had been scarcely any improvements in the pro? cess since the early days. Then, as now, in aH probability, the type-founder cut first his * conn te rp un ch' of hard steel, which stamps into the end of the tiny bit of soft steel the interior part of the letter to be made. It is a patient mau who must do this work, which ir completed by cutting away ail thc superfluous metal outside the letter, leaving in relief the letter A of the desired new pattern or new size. When a smokeproof of his die shows the punch-cutter that his A is perfect, he hardens the bit of steel, and with suc? cessive blows of this die upon a bit of copper makes the matrix for any num? ber of type. If it is a very large let? ter, the metal is poured into a mould, with these matrices at the bottom, by hand, in the old-fashioned way, and the letters sawn apart ; but most types are now cast in the little casting machines, which will turn out a hundred or more type a minute. The type metal bas. been fused in great melting-rooms, where the lead, antimony, and tin have been mixed in the crucibles in the pro? per proportions to form this alloy, which must be 'hard, yet not brittle ; ductile, yet tough ; flowing freely, yet harden? ing quickly.' It is kept fluid in a lit? tle furnace under the casting machine, whence, as the caster turns a crank, it is spurted by a pump in just the right quantity to fill a tiny mould which presents itself at the spout at just the right moment to receive it. The copper matrix forms the end of the mould, and as the letter jumps back with its quickly cooling charge of metal, thc matrix frees itself from the mould, the upper half of the mould pops off, and the formed type is tossed out in? stanter. Thence thc tiny bits go to the breakers, boys who break off the waste 'jets' of metal ; rubbers, with leather protected fingers, sitting at large circu? lar stones, rub down the rough edges ; girls set the types up in long rows into a 'dressing-block,' in which they arc held while the dresser, with a planing tool, grooves their understandings and shaves their sides perfectly true. After passing the inspection of his maguify iug-glass, the good letters go to a haven of rest to wait the printer's orders, while the bad are committed again to the flames.-Harper s Maga? zine for Juli/. Virginia Characters. The majority of mankind is unwill? ing to have other than a large "P' in any undertaking which is suc? cessful, arid moro than willing to share failure with an equally large "We." Colonel II-, of Virginia, had some negroes quarrying rock, with old Uncle Nod as foreman. One morning the Colonel rode over to the quarry, and after the usual good morning said, "Well, Ned, how are we getting along ?" "Dar 'tis* ag'in.

The Pigeon Fancy* The man or Vornan, boy or girl, who really loves the pets that are hers or his is the person wbo will get a sat? isfactory amount of both pleasure and profit from their pets. Many an bum? ble, hard-working man finds far keen? er enjoyment in contemplating a sin? gle pair of fine fowls, pigeons or rab? bits than does his rich neighbors in looking over his acres of land, cover? ed with fine fowl houses, stables and barns. Many a boy has made whole years pleasant and sunshiny, by sim? ply a love for his pets. After all it is not what wc have, but how we look at it, that makes anything enjoyable. To teach one the way to happiness, the way to enjoy owning pets, let him commence with something that he can not so readily make a means of money making. Let him learn to love and care for his birds because they are his, because they have beauty of form or color, or way, and not to look upon them at all as a source of money earning. Yet keeping a limited number in a proper manner, carefully breeding them, and selling them through the regular pigeon or poultry magazines will not fail paying very fairly usual? ly. We know this from personal ex? perience of several years with them. And yet.the pleasure and satisfaction is not lessened any even when it is all outlay and no income. We recom? mend them to all the boys and girls who read this paper. No possible harm will result from keeping one or two pairs of these interesting pets. They are easily made very tame and arc to please their young owners or old ones cither.- Southern Poultry Guide. News Items.

A mmn mm. A Sick Man's Wife Disregards the Druggist's Advice and So Saves thc Life of f^--.^.. Her Husband. I nm a wood carver by trade and it is out of my line to write letters; but my wife thought it was no more than right that I should kit you know what your remedy has done fur mc, and I think so too. I live in East 157th street, west of Third avenue, and have lived there for about twenty-three years, where I own real estate. Up to the time I am about to mention I had been a strong, well man. There was always more or less malaria in the neighborhood, but I had not personally suffered from it. It was ?n 18801 had my first attack. It came on as such attacks commonly do, with headaches, loss of appetite and ambi? tion, chilly sensations with slight fever afterwards, a disposition to yawn and stretch, and so forth. I was employed at that time at Killians & Brothers, furniture manufacturers, in West 32d street. I hoped the attack would wear off, but as it didn't I consulted a well known and able physician in Morris ania, who gave me q inine and told me what to do. I can sum up* the first four and a half or five years of my experi? ence in few words. Occasionally I "was laid np for a day or two, but on the whole I stuck to my work. 1 kept taking quinine, in larger doses from year to year, and kept on getting weak? er anti worse, slowly but surely, all the time. My trouble was now well de? fined and its symptoms were steady and regular. I had dumb ague in its worst form, and it was grinding me down in spite of all that I could do or the doc? tors could do. It held me in a grip like fire in a burning coal mine. The poison had gone all through and over me and nothing was able to touch it. I was fast losing flesh and slrength, and about March, iSSi, I knocked off work entire? ly and went home to be down sick, and to die for all I could tell. I ran down so rapidly that I soon became unable to walk any distance. Later 1 went from room to room in my own house only by friends holding me up by each arm. The doses of quinine were increased until I ' often took thirty gr atna at a dose. The effects of this tremendous stimulation was to make me nearly wild. It broke my sleep all up. and 1 often walked the Moor, or staggered about it, all night long, scarcely able to bear any noises or even human speech. My temper was extremely, irritable. As to food, one of my little children would eat more in a meal than I could in a day. I would order food and then turn from it in disgust. I lived on quinine and other stimulants and on myself, like a bear in winter. The quinine set my head in a whirl, and thc liquor-given as a medicine-made my stomach so sick I could not tolerate it. From 175 pounds (my proper weight) I ran down to 97 pounds-the weight of a light girl-and was scarcely better than a skeldon. ]f anybody had. iahen a hatchet and knocked mc dow fi and killed me I should have been better off. During tiic latter part of this period, early in 1886, my physician said: "Miller, there's no use in my taking ail}* more money of you, I cau't do you any good. I might pour pounds of qui? nine down your throat and it wouldn't help you." On the strength of this I gave up the use of quinine altogether, and made up my mind to do nothing more and take mv el i anees. Three weeks afterwards-about thc I last of May-my wile saw an advertise? ment of Kaskine in a New York paper. She told me of it. I said: v Stull' and nonsense! it can't do me any good." But she went to a druggist's, iieverrhe loss. to get it. The druggist advised - her against Kaskine: he said it was nothing but sugar: that she ought not to throw away ber money on it, &c. He sahl he didn't keep it, but could get it if she insisted on having it. Turn? ing away in disgust my wife spoke to our neighbor. Mv. A. G. Hegewald, who got her a bottle at a drug store in Sixth avenue. Almost against my will, and without the least faith. I began taking it. In one week I was better. I began to sleep. I stopped " seeing ghosts." I began to have un appetite and to gain strength. This was now the first of June, 1886, and by the end of t'hat month I was back at my bench at C. P. Smith's scroll sawing factory in ll?th street, where I work now. Since then I have never lost a day from sickness. Taking Kaskine only, about forty pellets in four equal doses a day, I continued to fl*ain. The ma? laria appeared to l>e killed in my sys? tem, and now I've got back my old weight-?7.5 pounds-and my old strength to labor. I am an astonish? ment to myself and to my friends, and If Kiskinc did not do this I don't know what did. The only greater thing it could do would be to bring a dead man lo life. FREDEKICK A.
