Berry coal works at Deepwater, BHlenry county, called forth a hand- some tribute and incident of his lite trom a Mobile paper: During the siege of Port Hudson, became necessary for the outside suthorities to communicate with the gerrison, and Master Boarman was selected to bear the important dis- patches to Gen. Gardner, which could only be accomplished by tegy, peril and daring. Having reached Waterproof, on the Missis- sipp! river, he secured a plank, with the assistance ot which he floated Tibrough the enemy’s fleet, and di- rectly under the guns of the Hartford. After having spent several hours on jus floating plank he became chilled, and so close was he to the enemy’s tinels that he was obliged to rest is chin upon the plank to prevent ihe chattering of his teeth from be- taying his presence under the bows Ao the ship. Arriving at his destination, and ! ializing that he was surrounded by mds whose hearts were true as hern steel, the recent dangers momentarily torgotten, and, idst the shouts and acclamations his brave companions in arms, he odestly handed the gallant and incible Gen. Frank Gardner the patches intrusted to his care. . q An Owl's Peculiar Trick. Ione of the Bowery museums, in a aie cage, is a monster owl, with eyes big as five-dollar gold-pieces. A pn-looking man wandered from the mt’s den to the owl’s cage, and his ‘met those of the captive bird. As walked around the cage the big, flat of the owl remained fixed upon He kept on, and, while the claws the bird clutched the rod on which it hed, the eyes neither winked nor d.

Dr. Johnstone would never enter a certain lane in London without going there were four. Frederick the Great in his youth was noted for his stubbornness and bashful- ness, and, we are told, showed this at his sister’s marriage. Instead of appear- ing at the ceremony in court attire he came with the servants dressed as one of their number. _ Neander, the famous church _histor- ian, was unabl:: to lecture to his stud- ents unless he had in his band a quill pen, which he tore to pieces while he talked and it was always necessary to supply him with a second when the first had been entirely wasted. Charles II. of England was very fond of hunting insects, and it is related by certain historians that he was huntin & moth in the supper-room at Whitehall when the Dutch fleet sailed up the Thames and burned Sheerness. Charles Dickens, the famous novelist, was @ most untiring walker; he consid- | ered it but a trifle to pass over forty or | even sixty miles of country. Should a friend visit him a walk was his (Dick- | ens’) first proposition. Tradition says | in the long run he had few friends | spending a whole day with him. Archbishop Whately was one of the most philanthropic of men, and yet, when dying, he is reported to have said: “I rejoice to think that never in my life have I given a copper to a beggar with whose antecedents I was a stranger.” The Earl of Chatham was most pecu- liar in his habits; these, no doubt, were engendered by his hypochondriac na- ture. On one occasion, in midsummer, he wished to have snow, and adopted the following rather curious method of having his wish realized: The servants were ordered to have large fires in eve room, the walks outside were covere with salt to make things have a wintry appearance, and doors and windows were kept shut to keep out the bitter cold. How long this whim lasted the historian does not record. William Wilberforce became so ab- sorbed in conversation in evening com- panies as wholly to forget himself. He would lift himself from his chair in his earnestness, move forward a little, and gradually approach perliously near the edge. I was atradition in fashionable English circles that he had fallen sever- altimes to the floor; but in families to station one of the older children be- hind his chair to move it forward as he moved and guard him against peril. | Some who afterwards became leaders to English society retained among the pleasantest memories of their childhood to this brilliant and eloquent converser. Rossini, the composer of ‘The Bar- ber,” when engaged with any great composition, invariably shaved himself in a most fantastic way to prevent his going out of doors. George. IV., King of England, was very feminine in his habits; he possess- ed scores of embroidered shirts, which were considered by him to be the best department of his wardrobe, and were accordingly displayed with great pomp to any particular friend of his Majesty. Napoleon habitually watched a cer- tain star, which he declared was his, for it never abandoned him, but was al- ways in sight commanding him to go forward, giving as a reason for his suc- cess its own appearance. —_———— ¢ —___- had ended a train of hard thinking, : around on his heel a few seconds and | between two particular posts of which MISSOURI, WEDNESDAY DECEMBER8 . 1886 Augustus Hare, one of the cleverest | 5s TOP And Examine JETER’S Mammoth Holiday Stock, West Side Square. ,Harrer’s BazaR combines the choicest litature and the finest art illustrations with the latest fashions and the most useful fam- ily reading.
