The Strange and Sad Carcer of the Koyhood Friend Who Surrendered His Place at West Point to Little Phil—A Touching Meeting of the General and the Tramp. w for The Evening Star. N AN UNMARKED GRAVE AT THE BASE cat lone rock, within vision’s range of Pike's Peak, lio buried the remains of the man who gave Gen. Phil Sheridan to America and to history. The facts contained in this narrative may sound like romance. They have never until now appeared in print, although known to hundreds of persons both in Ohio and Colo- rudo. The peculiar civeumstances by which I became possessed of the strange story and my connection with it have rendered my task a delies th for several years I have solicited to make them pabl: removed the two lead- ing firures of the drama, I have at last con- as they came within my personal knowl- @ige during a period of fifteen years. The facts contained in the story can be verified by hundreds of citizens of Colorado. They reveal ast ending of drama and tragedy and as: no discredit upon the memory of one of the great military figures of the civil war. I first met George Binckley in 1874, in an em- bryo mining camp perched high upon the pre- cipitous slopes of the Sierras San Juan in southwestern Colorado. How hegot into camp no oue kuew and no one inquired. The search for gold was then too keen to permit of idle our neighbor. He must have climbed th and zigzag burro trail leading from Norte to Sum- uty on foot, for be was wan and weak from hunger and fatigue when he eppeared at our camp fire one night and begged for something toeat. He presented an uncanny picture set im uncanny surroundings. ‘Tall and gaunt, he stood before usasa ghost, while an unkempt mass of whitened hair fell down over his stoop- ing shoulders, mingling with a beard that fell almost to bis waist, leaving visible only a little cirele of his face. From underneath hisshaggy evebrows bis eves gleamed like two great eim- Bers o living and consuming fire. His clothes were in tatters and his limbs trembled with nervousness and fatigue, but his voice had mined to see Phil Sheridan. The presence of President Grant himself could not have evoked more spontaneous ovation. Sheridan was the idol of those irrepressible frontiersmen and mountaineers, many of whom had followed his fortunes from '6! to '65, and had fought under hiv banner in all his campaigns until peace came with Appomatox. There was a blare of bugles, @ cavaleade of mounted policemen, a brass band and then the carriage, containing the little military chieftain, turned the corner and came down the strect toward the spot where I was standing. ‘Then a fierce, wild outburst from 10,000 throats tore the atmosphere into tatters. ‘Once more and once again the ear-splitting yell drowned brazen notes of the band and then died way. The crowd was tooanxious to see Sheri- dan to waste any more time in splitting its Jungs into fibers. ‘The carriage was within twenty-five feet of me when I was startled by hearing a strangely familiar voico on my right ery out: “Phil! ob, Puil! I turned and recognized “Old Bink.” A little more haggard and bent, little longer and grayer locked, with his great gleaming eyes shining like twin stars, the mascot of Del Norte stood leaning forward in the crowd, among hich he towered like an aged giant, waving long gaunt arms wildly at the passing car- riage. ‘There was a hungry appeal m the voice that bordered upon supplication and caused hundreds of eyes to tarn from the carriage and its distinguished occupant to the strange look- ing «peaker. “Phil! ob, Phil!" Gen. Sheridan heard the cry this time, and looking quickly around began to scan the massed faces as if searching for some one. “Phil, Phil! it's me, it's Bink,” and again the armso/ the old tramp went up into the air like the sails of a wind mill. He had caught Sheridan's eye. And then the Denver populace witnessed something it did not understand, and about which it talked for weeks. It saw Gen. Sheri- dan stop the carriage, .eap quickly to the street, force his way through the crowd, place hisarms around the neck of our unkemptold tramp and kiss bim fair im the face. ‘ihen he led that miserable looking tramp to the carriage, placcd him besides himseif and the parade was re- sumed. Everybody who witnessed the scene accepted as ait explanation the statement that it wax one of Sheridan's old soldiers. But I, who had listened to and laughed to scorn “Old Bink’s” story at the camp fire in the Sierras San Juan, knew better. I knew that Binckley was the man who had given Sheridan to hi*tory. George and Phil had met agsin. What paseed between them must be written by other pens than mine. I know only what I know. Several days afterward I again met “Old Bink.” Sheridan and his staff had returned to Chicago. Link wore a new suit of clothes, but looked as if he was just recovering from a'pro- tracted debaueb. in answer to my look of sur- prise and inquiry he explained: “No, I wouidu't go buck cust with him. He gave me a stake and I've blowed most of it in already. I ain't fit to associate with Phil any more no how, and I ain't going to disgrace him. He wanted me to go home with him, but Icouldn’t ive there. I'm off fur the mines to- motrow. Phil's all right and ‘Old Bink’s’ all right, and so what's the difference?” a deep, mellow ring that despite an undercur- tent of pain and weariness bespoke the train- ing of its once masterful owner. HE was “OLD BINK.” “Vm old Pink, and I'm hungry,” was his laconic salutation ashe drew up before the camp fire, and calmly surveyed the half dozen rough miners who sat about the blaze smoking their pipes. It was uttered in the voice of one who Lad been worsted in an encounter with fat d was indifferent as to the result. the proverbial hospitality of frontiers- men and miners we placed before the stranger an abundanee of the rough but substantial food, found in the camp kettles, and he ate ravenously. When he hadsatistied his hunger & pair of blankets was given him and rolling up im them beneath the drooping branches of a righty pine our strange and taciturn visitor scon fell asleep. We resumed our pipesandafter # briet discussion of our guest agreed that he was a broken-down prospector and that he was welcome. Then we crept beneath our blankets and dreamed under the stars of fabulous veins of gold, while our enrs heard not the thunder of the mountain torrents leaping down the seamed and sacred sides of Dei Norie peak to Join the foaming current of the Kio Alamasa. And that was how “Old Bink” came to our camp, perched like a speck between a rim of pies and the eterral suow. We knew not whence he came, neither did we care. We had the broken-down pilgrim in our care and would shelter and feed him. Ina day or two he was a fisture and little by little dropped his impen- etrable reserve. Dnring the day be would wander along the mountain sides and up d uiches looking for indications of mine ie made himself useful in cooking our rude meais. [He was conversant not only with geol- ogy and metallurgy, but knew every mountain plant and flower b It was “Oid Bink” who, when one of the boys was stricken down with mountain fever, sought out in the darkest guiches the mountain sage and gave relief to our comrade. He founda bed of tender wild onions and added them to our limited menu of bacon and flapjacks. He staked a claim, and, while it was worthless, we would have defended it for him against jumpers at the risk of our lives “Old Bink” was our mascot. We wouldn't have taken the richest lode on South mountain for bim, wretched as he had made himself by a life of wandering and dissipation. And then one night he told to us the story of his life. We didn't believe it then, but it served to while away a weary hour between supper and blankets, and we forgave him. A pack train from Del Norte had brought up to camp a fresh lot of supplies, including a keg of whisky. ‘The latter article was the key which unlocked ““Uld Link's” lips. While talking his eyes took on a far-away look, as if they were resting on green pestures, but his voice be- came vibrant with manhood as he talked about him-elf and Phil Sheridan. Icouldnot attempt to give you the story in hisown language, be- cause betweea me now and that summer night episode high up on the slopes of the Sierras San Juan nearly eighteen years have inter- vened. ‘OLD BINK’s STORY. His name, Le said, was George Binckley and he was born in northern Onio, bis family being &n influential and wealthy one. Phil Sheridan was his schoolmate, and although Phil's mother ‘was very poor the two boys were inseparable friends and companions. “They had grown up together and their affection for each other was as that of David and Jonathan. ‘Then one day young Binckley's uncle, who was then in Con- gress, secured for him an appointment to the West Point M i Wild with de- he at last found “But, ob, don’t I wish I could go, set my heart on being « soldier, but now"—and the youthful Phil again gave vent to his emotions. “Old Bink” burried over this partof his narrative. He talked to Phil and tried to comfort him, with what ue sequel disclosed. He «¢ almost paralyzed appointment. He soldier and Phil Sheridan ock he stood immovable. The «iy knows part of the result The Trish lad, the friend of Ge orge Binekley, went to Wes: Point, His history iss part of that of the nation. ‘The hero of Winchester and half a hundred other battleficlds was made possible by a triend’s magnanimity and self-abnegation. And binekley, what ot him? Ob, there wasn't much to tell. be declared He had gone through colle ge with honors: iad been admitted to the bar, had tried journalism and had printed eral newspapers in Iowa and Nebraska; had drunk whisky and indulged in the use of opium Until worn out; he had quit fighung and was now drifting with the tde toward sunset and mightand silence. He bad drifted with other debris of wretched humanity into the moun- tains, aud that was all He was still loyal to Phil’ Did Phil remember his old boyhood friend and benefactor? Uh, yes. Gen. Sheri- dan, be said, had repeatedly offered to provide for him, but he was too far gone to go back. That was all, “Phil was ali right and “Oid Bink’ was all right, and so what's the differ- Having delivered himself of this erscular bit of optimism, our mascot took another drink of whisky and fell asleep in his blankets. After deciding that “Old Bink” was an entertaining liar ihe camp followed hisex- ample and retired to rest. When bantered next day about bis Phil Sheridan “romance,” “Old Bink” reiterated Lis statement. and, finally growing angry, relapsed into sullen si- Jence and the subject was dropped. The summer wan and lower and lower crept the dazzling rim of snow down the moan- tainside. Already the moaning pines gave no- tice in their dumb way of approaching winter. ‘The camp high up on the spar of the mountain was abandoned. “Old Bink” went with the rest of usto Dei Norte and there we lost sight of ‘THREE TEARS ArTen. ‘Three years later I stood on 16th street in the tity of Denver. It was gala day in the capi- tal city of the young centennial state. The streets were crowded by a restless, shouting, pushing mass of humanity, and flags and ban- ers streamed from every window and every housetop. Gen. Sheridan, then in command of the division of thearmy, was in the city, and Colorado was also there to honor one of Grant's greatest lieutenants. Denver was wild with enthusiasm, and it was with difficulty that { could maintain a position the curb which commanded a view ot the @pproaching parade. Everybody was deter- He turned his eye in a wistful way toward a purple bank of clouds resting on the far-off peaks of the Kockies, and I noticed that be had aged rapidly since I had known him im the San Juan regiou. ‘To further questions he gave evasive answers and we parted. I never saw “Old Bink” again. A GRAVE IN THE MOUNTAINS. A year and a half ago I was again in Colorado, after an absence of fourteen years. I had been engaged in investigating the stabihty of a large dam being erected on the headwaters of Cherry creek, about thirty miles south of Denver, near the summit of the divide, and was returning to Castle Rock station late in the evening accom- panied by a citizen of the latter place. Our route lay over a high “hog back” or divide between Cherry and Willow creeks, and our ponies made pe progress. We had reached the top of the descent leading down a mile or more to the little mountain village. The sun was just setting behind Gray's Peak to the south and forty miles distant Pike's Peak stood lonely in its grandeur, thrusting an icy finger far upward into the regions of eternal frost. Directly opposite the outer slopes of the Musquito range lay concealed im mist and shad while a thousand feet below ran the waters of Willow creek. To the right of our trail and directly overhanging the narrow val- ley Castle rock rose, naked and grim, like a giant anvil £00 fect in the air. It overlooked the foot hills tor miles around and had given its name to the railroad hamlet nestled at its base. ‘The grandeur of the scene had made us Lotu silent for a time, but just as we rounded an escarpment of the huge rock my guide and companion broke the spel “Do you see that grave the rock?” what of it?” I was in no mood for talking. “Queer duck planted over there. Buried by the town as a pauper. Tramped into Castle Kock one day last summer and just took down and died. Queer old duck. Whisky and mor- phine did him up.” “Lots of fellows go that way. Nothing queer about that,” I repiied. Xen but he “was no fool, and sometimes he'd talk ike ascholar. And then he'd keep insistin’ that he had rich chummies. Guess he was weak in his upper story. Morphine had clean et bis brains up. I set up with him one night jist before he in his ckips, and he ail at onct set up in bed and boilers out: “Phil, ! so pitiful like that I felt sorry for the np. "Spect it was some brother or pard or something. He died next day and we found. fotygraph of a military-lookin’ cuss in is pocket. It was so greasy and dirty we couldn't tell who it was.” “Did the tramp give his name?" I excited!y inquired. “He said it was ‘Old Bink’ and that’s all. Did you know him?” “Yes,” I replied, as I dismounted from my pony and stood beside the unmarked grave. “Fhe man whose body lies here made Gen. Sheridan.” Tom H. Canxon. ————_—_ ADDING BONES. Doctors Quarrel About the Reconstruction of a Prehistoric Beast From the New Orleans Picayune. A few weeks ago some workmen unearthed the remains of a prehistoric animal, probably a brontotherium, in the banks of the Ohio river. These remains were secured by the Catlett Acad- emy of Catlettsburg, Ky., and turned overto Professor Jonkins, who holds the chair of geol- ogy, and he set himself to the task of recon- structing the deceased giant. After the job was done he found that he yet had some 200 pounds of bones undisposed of, and, after surveying his work, he concluded that the tail would bear additions better than any other part of the frame, so he proceeded to add some twelve fect of caudal appendage, curving it over the animal's back iike the tail of a good-natured dog. When Prof. Gould of the same institution saw the novel animal he laughed. He said that Prof. Jonkins had made a nigiculous mistake, and instead of an abuor- maily long tail the creature evidently bad pre- ternaturaily long hind legs, so that the animal, when alive, could go bounding like a kangaroo, fifty yards ata jump. He then proceeded to reconstruct the skeleton, putting the super- fluous bones into its legs. When Prof Jonkins heard of this liberty that Prot. Gould had taken with his specimen he was very much enraged and proceeded at once to restore the tail. The next morning when Prof. Gould came to the room and saw the extravagant tail he at once pulled it to pieces and turned it into legs. Aad this alter- nate metamorphosis has taken place daily in the skeleton for two weeks past. Another amateur scientist who saw the thing suggested that perhaps the beast bad win; but this suggestion was secrnfully rejected by both scientists, and they still insist on recon- structing the ‘skeloton, and will do so until some bad student steals the extra bones. er there just under Showter—"“Why di wallow that fiery Tey He dba Guana our ‘ire LIGHT IN A DUNGEON. ‘The First Phosphdtus Match Was Made by John Komerer, a German Convict. From the 8t. Louis Globe-Democrat. “I wonder does any one know the history of the lucifer,” said Mr. H. C. the other day at the Southern. “I tell you why Task. I ‘was once standing here just where I am now andImet an Englishman. The Englishman had a whole-hearted swear at things in general. ‘You are frozen in the summer,’ he said, ‘and you are heated in the winter till one might be- lieve you were being toasted brown in a mis- take for a mufiin for breakfast and you cannot buy a wax vesta.’ “It occurred to me that there was not so tauch cause for complaint in regard to this last item at least, for you know man has gone on probably a couple of thousand years without s match at all, much less the wax vesta. For the comfort of such gentlemen as I have just men- tioned I will give you the history of the match: “First of all, what do you think is its value? In the United States the value of a singlematch would be the 360th part of acent, and in Europe about half the price. ‘Think of 1t, 360 matches, the wood chopped and all other things done, and the lot neatly packed into a little box for 1 cent, and yet there aro large fortunes made out of matches. France has been enabled to meet the terribly heavy liability involved in the war with Germany through making the match in- dustry a monopoly. “As I have said, the world had to do without the match for thousands of years. You would find it difficult to fin¢ a monument to the ge- nius of the myentor, and probably the majority of mon do not even knowhis name. “It is the old, old story. ‘The man who in- troduced an article by which millions of dol- lars have been made and are still made, an article which is now considered indispensable to society, died poor, heart-broken and for- gotten in a lunatic asyium. “The first phosphorus match was made by one John Frederic Komerer in Ludwigsburg, Germany. He had been imprisoned for rome political offense in the penitentiary at Hohen- asperg. The governor of the prison treated the convicts with humanity, and allowed Komerer, who was achemist by profession, to make scientific experiments, “In the cell of a gloomy dungeon the first lucifer was struck, to the great delight of the unhappy prisoner. | It eame asa ray of hope to a man shut out from the rest of the world and from all that made life dear. A year later Komerer wasreleased. At that time no patent law existed, and the ex-prisoner, being a man without capital, had to fight three companies in Vienna. His opponents had means, while he ha@none. But # still harder blow was in store for him. “The German government had a notion that matches were dangerous because some children playing with them caused a conflagration, and in a fit of incomprehensible stupidity passed a law forbidding the manufacture of ail kinds of matches. ‘Thus was Komerer ruined. Other countries took the matter up, andin 1842 the law of Germany was repealed. “In 1848 a millionaire matchmaker existed in Vienna. His mnillious increased as the years went by and he retired after twenty years’ work With @ fortune of $10,000,000. . “Up to 1862 the Vienna manufacturers con- trolled the match business of the whole globe. They worked in the most impracticable way, without machinery. There was a fixed idea that machinery was useless and that the work should be done by hand. One particular event caused the downfall of the Vienna monopoly. ‘This was the invention of the safety mutch. “The principal material in which the ignit- ing composition is dipped is prosphorus. One hundred yearsago it was nothing more than a chemical curiosity, produced in very small quan- tities, and an ounce of it was sold for an one of gold. Now a pound can be bought for 60 cents. The extraordinary igniting powers of phosphorus cannoz be ‘equaled by one of the chemical substances now in use, but it is a most poisonous article, and many suicides were committed with an emulsion of the heads of the matches of which it formed a part. It also caused a terribly deadly disease among the poor operators in the factories. “Prof. Shrater made a discovery of some- thing which reduced the deadly elements of the phosphorus. He offered his discovery to the leading Vienna manufacturers, but the offer was rejected. By some way the discovery found its way to Sweden, and there a new in- dustry sprang up, which gave employment to thousands of hands and realized millions of dollare. The reputation of the Swedish mateh has been established. It is the best and cheap- estin existence and is neither poisonous nor in- flammable. Sweden produces no other than safety matches, and they are exported to all parts of the world.” jin Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Hol- land phosphorus match factories are under state control to prevent as much as possible the spread of the disease to which I have re- ferred. The girls must wear special dresses, the factories must possess special lavatories and dining rooms, and o medical man must examine the surroundings and send a report once a week to the factory inspector. Ihe manufacturers must pay for the medical treat- ment. “It is strange that the safety match has not found favor in the United States, the most progressive country in the world. ‘Only a few are used in eastern cities, and these are mostly imported from Sweden.’ Yet in the interest of the operators in the factories, as well as in the interest of the public, it is desirable that they should take the place of the evil-smelling, poison- ous and dangerous phosphorus matches, and they can be manfactured just as cheaply. “The number of factories in the states of the Union is very small as compared with Europe, as the following statistics will show: Germany, with a population of 40,000,000, has 140 fac- tories; Sweden and Norway, with a population of 6,000,000, have 40; Switzerland, witn 3,000,000, 22; Russia, with 90,000,000, 200; United States, with 63,000,000, 30." Lumber is more plentiful in the United States than anywhere else, therefore there is every prospect of chance for a development of the trade.” ——___+e+ ______ TREES THAT GIVE JEWELS, ‘The Petrified Forest of Arizona Furnishes Chips of Agate, Topaz and Amethyst. From St. Nicholas. From the Atlantic and Pacific raiiroad it is not hard to reach one o! the greatest of natural curiosities—the petrified forest of Arizona. Much the nearest point is the little station of Billings, but there are the scantiest accommo- dations for the traveler. Only a mile south of the track, at that point, one may seo a low, dark ridge, marked by a singie cottonwood tree. Walking thither (over a valley so alive with jack rabits that there is some excuse for the cowboy declaration that “you can walk clear across on their bucks!") ‘one soon reaches the northern edge of the forest, which covers hundreds of square miles. Unless you are more hardened to wonderful sights than Iam, you will almost fancy your- self in some enchanted spot. You seem to stand on the glass of a gigantic kaleidoscope, over whose sparkling surface the sun breaks in infinite rainbows. You are ankle deep in such chips as I'll warrant you never saw from any other woodpile. What do you think of chips from a tree that are red moss agate and ame- thyst and smoky topaz and agate of every hue? Such are the marvelous splinters that cover the ground for miles here around the huge prostrate trunks—some of them five fect through—from which Time's patient ax has hewn them. I broke « specimen from the heart of a tree there yeurs ago which had around the stone pith a remarkable array of large and exquisite crystals; for on one side of the specimen—which 18 not so large as my hand —is u beautiful mass of erystals of royal purple amethyst and on the other an equally beautiful array of smoky topaz crystals. One can get also magriticent cross-sections of « whole trunk so thin as to be portable and showing every vein and “year ring,” and even the bark. ‘There ie not a chip in all those miles which is not worthy a place, just us it is, in the proudest cabinet, and, when polished, I know no other rock ‘so spiendid. It is one of the hardest stones in the world and takes und keeps an incomparable polish. ————+e+—_____ ‘Mrs. Partington's Half Sister. From the Lewiston Journal.

Pine Ridge Letter to Chicago Tribune, I passed an interested hour in one of the traders’ stores, which was filled with loungers and buyers. Tho long, low room was crowded mostly with men, but a few women shared the bench upon which I ent and some others passed about negotiating purchases us best they could with the aid of interpreters and signs. Here I had opportunity for studying the costume of the men, which is certainly more attractive than that of the women. The blanket is worn by them in an entirely different manner. In ‘most cases it envelops the entire form, wrapped about the head and descending in graceful folds to the ground. Among the younger men the courting blanket was most frequently seen. The wearing of this garment, as its name indicates, signifies the existence of an ardent flame within the breast beneath. Itisahandsomeaffair of dark blue wool, elaborately ornamented with beads and ribbons in devices which wre strikingly effective. Sometimes small round mirrors are introduced into the design, Beneath this bianket appear broad leggins and moccasins brilliant with embroidery, whi hind in a flat square ie a sash simile: I was unable to get a glimpse of the upper gar- ment, as the bianket was never lowered be- neath the chin. Seldom indced was any part of the face visible, snve the black eyes peering above the edge of the blanket, held carefully over the mouth. Somotimes the features were more fully concealed by the shadow of a slouch hat ornamented with feathers and bandsof por- cupine work. But nowand then a countenance ppeared resplendent as the pallet of a disciple of realistic art. The natural mineral paints which are said to abound upon this reservation would certainly finda home market if manu- factured here. Many of the tal! men about me were clothed in sheets in lien of blankets. Different reasons are given for this dross, that their “hearts are bad,” either from grief ‘or anger, &c., but the simple explanation 18 probably that they pos sess none other. ‘The sensation produced by these ghostly figures with gleaming eyes and silent, stalking tread is nervous, to say the least.’ Visious of daggers and conspiracy be- hind thore toga-like draperics seem to arise nat- urally, Many of those present wore the white mai garb, or modifications of it, but few were with- out the blanket in one form or another. In- deed. such a covering is essential @®r comfort in Dakota's frigid climate, and is more simple as well as more picturesque than any hooded ulster which has been devised. ‘The dress of Sioux women is not designed to show beauty of form should they possess it. ‘The heavy bianket worn loosely over the head and fastened blouse fashionabout the hips pro- duces a squat appearance, which is usually in- creased by the bulk of a child upon the mother's back. Sometimes two children are carried thus. We noticed among the crowd numbers of the Navajo blankets, remarkable for their striking patterns in blue, black, white, yellow and red. These, mingled with those of red and blue which are issued by the government, belted with the showy squaw belts, produced a gorgeous effect, which the snowy background intensiticd. ‘These squaw belts, while ‘sometimes of beads, are usually made of leather thickly studded with brass n: heads or of continuous plates of German silver obtained from the traders and beaten into the desired shapes. They sometimes bang from the side, trailing upon the ground. A sheath of similar manufacture suspended from it holds the murderous-looking knife which they use in preparing meat. That these are some- times put to more cruel service is as well known as is the ferocity of these stolid-appear- ing women when it is aroused. It is they who mutilate the dead upon the battlefields, mak- ing ghoulish orgies of the work, illustrating a lesson all history has taught—repression re- acting with terrific force when its opportunity occurs, +02 SQUAKING IT. The Captain Was in Too Big a Hurry to ‘Spit On It. From Chin. A good story has been told of a lisping officer having been victimized by a brother officer— who was noted for his cool deliberation and strong nerves—and of his “getting square” with him in the following manner: The cool joker—Capt. Blakeney—was always quizzing the lisping officer—a lieutenant—for his nerv- ousuess and eaid one day at mess: “Why, nerv- ousness is all nonesense; I tell you no brave man is ever nervous.” “Well,” inquired his lisping friend, “how would you act thpothing athell with an inth futhee thould drop ithelf in a walled angle, in which you had taken shel- ter from a company of tharpthooterth and EDUCATIONAL.

The next morning a number of soldiers were assembled on parade, when along came the lisping lientenant, Lazily opening his eyes he remarked to a cluster of officers: “I want to try an ekthperiment thith morning and thee how ektheedingly cool Tom Blakeney can be.” Saying this he walked ealiberssely. into the captain’s quarters, where a fire was burning on the hearth, and placed in its hottest part a powder canister and instantly retreated. There was but one door of egress from the juarters and that opened on the purade ground. The oceupant gave one look at the canister, comprehended the situation and in a moment made for the door, but it was fastened on the outside. “Charley, let me out if you love me!" shouted the captain. ‘Thpit on the canither !” shouted he in return. Not a moment was to be lost; the captain hud at first snatched up a blanket to cover himself with; but soon dropping it he raised the win- dow and out he beanded, sans everything but a very short undergarment, and thus, with hair almost on end, he dashed on toa full parade ground. The shouts which hailed him brought out the whole of th occupants of the barracks to see what was the matter and the dignified captain pulled a sergeant in front to hide himself. “Why didn't you thpit on it?” inquired the lieutenant. ‘Because there were no sharpshooters in front to stop a retreat,” answered the captain. “AllT've got to thay said the lieutenant, “that you might thafely have done it; for I'll thware there wathn’t a thingle grain of powder in it.” ——~or- A Misjudged Exhalation, From the San Francisco Chronicle. A mischievous youth who has been shooting sea gulls with a parlor rifle from the window of ashed on the city front has caused consid- erable trouble. Dr. Woolsey and another well- known Oakland scientist were discussing the condition of the San Francisco sewers afew afternoons since when the youth with the noiseless ritle began to practice. Unless these San Francisco people do some- thing pretty quick to improve their sewer sys- tem they'll have a plague on this side. Just take a whiff of that bilge water that the ferry boat has churned up.” “It's terrible. By George, I wish the boat would start,” said the doctor. “Great Cesar, did youwee that seagull drop dead off the ile PreThe poisonous mephitic exhalation. My God, there's another one,” gasped the scientist, asasecond gull succumbed to the skill of the concealed marksman, Four gulls dropped dead into the bay before the ferry boat started, and when the scientist struck Onkland his first action was to calla special meeting of the board of health. He and the doctor are now writing a valuable treatise on theveffoct of sewer gas on bird ilfe, and the Ouklund real estate boomers aro getting out maps of San Francisco with showers of deud vea gulls dropping all over the peninsula to scare iuvestors over to the salubrious shores of Alameda. ———-+es____ Brandy Consumed in Norway, From the Pall Mall Gazette, There is lamentation and woe among the advocates of temperance in Norway. The official report concerning the consumption of alcohol in Christiania during the last twelvo months is just out and shows that the con- sumption of brandy in that town has been larger during the first six months of the present year than has been the case for the same period for many years past. In 1890 Christiania had been drinking 179,975 liters of alcoholic drinks by the end of June; this year the figure has risen to 193,826 liters. With regard to the whole country the report is almost as bad, for it shows that more “braendevin” has been consumed from Jan- uary to July, 1891, tan at any equal period during the Inst decade. Is it the severe win- ter which has to answer for these facts, or is it that the revival of interest in their own posts lias caused the Scandinavians to act upon the advice of so many of their skalds, ancient and modern, whose drinking songs belong to the of the ty of tho norte Who knows fat that good Bishop Franzin, with his inayired drinking songs, is really at much at the bottom of the as the publicans and sianers themselves?
