STEW —_—— An Old Story Retold, ‘When General Charles H. Van Wyek of Nebraska wus running for congross, many years ago, in the Fifteenth New York district, there was a certain Irish- man who stendfustly refused to give the old soldier any encouragement. The colonel was greatly surprised, there- fore, when Pat informed him, on elec- tion day, tunt he had concluded to sup- port him, “Glad to hear it, glad to hear it,”” said the colonel; *‘I rather thought you wore ugainst me, Fatrick.” “Well, sir,” said Pateick, *'I wuz; and whin ye stud by me pig ben and talked thuv day fur two hours or worse, ye didn’t budge me u hair’s breaath, si but after ye wuz gone I got to thinking how ye reached yer hand over the fence and scratched the pig on the back till he laid down wid the pleasure of it, and I made up my mind that whina rale colonel was as sociable as that I wasn’t the man to vote agin him.” The Reason Why. Youth’s Companion: A report of a French duel has the following interest- ing conclusion: “M.* Lelache having fired his shot, jit was now the turn of M. Boboche to dls- charge his weapon. He waited calmly for a moment, brought up his pistol, awaited the word—and fired in the air. *“Phis is not, however, o great an act of magnanimity as might be supposed, for his antagonist had climbed a tree!” - WIDE OFPEN, The Evans Hotel at Hot Sy Ever visited Hot Springs? 1f you have you’ve doubtless noticed that the hotel accommodations were ngs, 5.

A British Vessel of Enormous Stenms Eighteen Knots, The Roval Sovercign, the largest war ship in the world, has just made her trial trip with the officers of the British admiralty on board. Her displacement is 14,350 tous, and her speed, which was kept up for three hours, was 18.1 knots per hour. Tho lurgest and fastest ves- sels of the French navy, tho Admiral Baudin and the Formidable, are 3,000 tons less und their speed is three knots Our battleships—the Indiana, the sachusetts and the Oregon—aure 4,000 lessand their estimatod spoed is three knots less. Italy L has five ships afloat whose aisplacement is nearly as large as that of the Royal Sovereign and whose spoed is supposed to be the same, The Commercial Gazette suys this extraor- dinary naval deveiopment is the chief cause of the impoverishment of Ituly and of the crushing weight of taxation in that kingdom. Neither Russia nor Germany nor Austrid nor Spain has any ships that will compare in size or offectiveness with the RRoyal Sovereign. The latter compares curiously with other warships and the leading mer- cantile steamers of the maritime na- tions. The crack ship of the British navy, the Inflexible, is nearly 3,000 tons less in displucement than the Royal Sovereign, She is 820 feet in length and seventy-five fcet beam, us against 380 feet in length and soventy- five feet beam in the Royal Sovereign, The great Italian ships are 400 feet long by seventy-four feet beam. But when we turn to the crack merchant steamers of the duy we find that the City of New York and the City of Paris, which have just passed under the American Bag, are 560 feet long by sixty-three feet beum. They are 200 or 250 feet ionger thun the types of English und French batteships before the Royal Sovereign and twelve feet uerrower. In them the proportion of beam to length:is 8.80, while in the battleships it is:less than 6, or about the proportion which was usual in the ships built in the forties. If the Royal Soyereign, with her depth, had been a8 narrow 48 the City of Paris, thera aee fow ports which she could have entered. Her armament re- flects the progness of naval gunnery, The Italian Ialia, Duilio and Dan- dolo, which -were built between 1876 and 1884 carry 100-ton guns; the British dmflexible carries 80- ton guns; the Erench Admiral Baudin and theFormidable carry 75-ton guns, but tho Royal Sovereign only car- ries 67-ton guns, und our three battle- ships carry 45-ton guns. The reason of the reductioa in the size of the guns is, first, the difficulty of handling enormous massos of metal with efficient rupidity, and secondly, the apprehension that no vessol can be built s0 as to endure the concussion of the fire of very heavy guns without her plates splitting and part- ing. The best opinion vow 18 that guns not exceeding forvy-five tons in weight would be more eflective in action than guns exceeding that weight. There is very little doubt that the Italin und Duilio would wrench themselves upart in action long before they had destroyed their enemy. The projectile thrown by the Royal Sovereign will weigh 1,200 pounds and that thrown from our Massa- chusetts 1,000 pounds. Such missiles will a0 quite as much damage if they strike an object us a missile weighing a ton or neurly u ton, Weight Tennctt's Inventory Takens We find lots of goods we didn’t know we had, in fact we find lines in nearly all departments we want to close out, €0 we will continue to cut prices and close out these goods.

All are ready in the east.” The gentl men who had been commissioned to pre- sent the four spikes, two of gold und two of silver, from Montang, Idaho, Cali- fornia and Nevada, stepped forward, and wigh brief, appropriate remarks dis- churged the duty assigned them. Governor Stanford, standing on the north, and Dr. Durant on the south side of the truck, received the spikesand put them in place. Our operator tapped out: **All ready now; the spike will soon be driven. ‘The signal will be three dots for the commencement of the blows,” An instant later the silver hammers came down, and at each stroke in ail the offices from San Francisco to New York, and throughout the land, the hammer of the magnat struck the bell, The event was celebrated large cities, and everywhere with demonstrations of delight. in all the hailed Blackwood’s Magazing There rises & huge wall seventy feet high, inclosing a squure court of which the side is 74 feet long. Part of the wall, hu fallen into ruins, has been rebuilt from the ancient materials; but the whole of the north side, with 1ts beautiful pilas ters, remains perfect. As the visitors enter the court they stand still in as- tonishment at the extraordinary sight which meets their eyes; for -here, crowded within those four high walls, is the native village of Tadmor. It was natural enough for Avabs to build thei mud huts within these ready-made fo fications, but the impression produced by such & village in such a place is in- describably strange. The temple, 80 1o speak, is eaten out at the core, and little but the shell re- muins. But here and there a tluted Corinthian column or group of columns, with entablature still perfect, rises in stutely grace far over the wretched huts, the rich, creamy color of the limestone and the beuutiful moldings of the capi- tals contrasting with the clear blue of the cloudless sky.

HARRY HARRISON, ‘War Stories About States ne A correspondent of the Philadelphia Press mukes the curious ecalculation that of the governors elected since Appomuttox no less than 227 wero old soldiers A large majority of the mem- bers of the present congress sorved in the army on both sides. Of these veterans from the north and south ten j rals and twelve were and field officers are The history of these men is the history of the war, Wouldu't o history of the war by living major generals, éach one contributing ten pages, be o murketablo hook? I was tho other day told u story about a member of the present congress whom I will call James Smith, vy one of hit collenguos whom, also, I cannot 1dentify, says tho correspondent, They are from one of the border states and live near the lino. “Eniistments,” says the member, ‘wero seeretly going on in their neigh- borhood for both armies. Jim was an orator, rather than a soldier. He never tired of addressing public meetings. But he was excitable and apt to be with the crowd at the moment. One day he yelled for the old flag and the undi- vided union, and the next day he helped hang John Brown and Abraham Lincoln in efligy. “One morning when Jim was in town he was called on to harangue s hundred or two men who were assembled 1n front of tho corner grocery listening to the lutest news. He imbed into a wagon, threw off his coat and satled in. “I have but one message for you,” he shouted, ‘go to tho front!” Many of your neighbors are on the line of battle and all calling unto you!l Why stand ye here idle? IFreedom, which shricked when Kosciusko fell, is in poril as never before. Ky to her rescue! Men may ory poaco, ponco, but there is no peacel Freedom’s battle, when once begun, be- queathed from bleeding sire to son, though vafiled oft, is ever won. Rally and organize a company right here— this d this hour.” *Wall, strenger,’ broke in about tho only man present who did’nt know him, ‘which army shell we jine? Nawth ur south?’ **Lither! oither!’ shouted Jim. ‘Can’t all think alike.” **It made some fun at the time,” said Mr. M. C., who was in_the confederate army afterward, “‘but Il bo hanged if T wasu't talking to Jim about it the other day, and he insists that he was just ight!” At lonst two of the presout senators who wore major generals enlisted in the army as private soldiers—Gibson of Louisiana and Hawley of Connecticut. These men, both fine looking, have a curious resemblance and are sometimes mistaken for ouch other. Both, too, ng their rapid promotion indicates, had a romantic story. Hawley, an old aboli- tionist, was the first man to enlist in his * state, and was in the ariny ail the time to Appomatto: Gibson lost his fortun during the war, but recovered it aftow v 5 The tostimony of pevple who have been shot differs widely as to how it feels. I have heard more than a dozen members of the present congr alk on the subject and have got as many opin- iuns. The worstshot man now in publia lifo is probably € who re. sented the insolence of the misropresons tative of the “Federation”” the other d He lost his right arm in front of Richmond in his twenty-seventh battle, having previously been shot through the right arm, then in the right leg, then in the left him, then through the vight thigh, then in the head, ns pre- monitory symptoms of what was coming. *When a minie ball strikes you,” ha said, “'itstuns you us if you had b i at short range with a club or bri Then the develish intruder turned into a furnace of live coals. Then perhaps you mercifully drop into uncons ousness.” It felt when I was hit,” aid Colonel Horbertof Alabama, spealk- ing of the matter to a_comrade, *as if my shoulder was seared with caustic; in sct, 1 never could get over the impres- sion that the Yanks were firing red hot balls,”? Ho experimented with four of thom during his service, and has reason to know just how they foel. The' two one-legged men in congress who manage themselves bast in walking are, by general consent, Senator Daniel of Virginia, and Representative David B. Henderson of Towa. They were both very young meu when they met with the l0ss of n leg, und ns Amos Cunning- ham says, “‘they probably hudn’t got attached to it.” = A stranger would y suspect either men of using a wooden member. “When I was hit in the head,” says Colonel Henderson, ‘it didn’t hurt wmuch, for I became unconscious: but when' my foot 1nterce the spiral flight of the rifle bul it secmed us if I had experienced an equal collision with Jupiter, or, at least, one of the wildest and most dissolute comets. I never was 80 astonished in my life. Then came collapse.” Joe Cannon, “the next member from the IFifteenth district of illinois,” as he would probably sign his name today if he were less modest, tells a good story of Henderson: “1 had seen Dave Henderson around on crutches, and L was sorry for him, and urged him to come and see us dance atone of our little affairs at the Nutional. Well, do you know, he came. Without aeruteh? Yes. And he came tripping and bowing in as if he hud never had svon a corn, and he waltzed his cork ieg with a patent leather boot on it up to one of my favorite partners, and bore her off in the giddy labyrinths of the gevman, just as if he had half a dozen legs. Yos, sir. us lively us if he was a centipede.” And those who saw it say that the prize waltzer of Danville leaned against the piano paralyzed, superseded as bolle of the ball by the more or less disjointed but very vivacious David. “How much it hurts to be shot,” said Manderson, who got soveral men sort during tho war, and likes to exchange views with vets evans, “depends on whore and how you are hit. 1f it is in an extremity, or i thick tlesh, the wound is not generslly very painful at once, and men hive often been so struck, and even muimed, with- out knowing it. But get hit along that vital center, the spine, and you feel as if u red-hot spear a mile long had been thrust through you,” 1 usked Coionél Stone, the Kentucky soldier, who is gencrally scen on crutehes, I didn't know, at first, that I wus wounded,” ho said. “'I justfelt a slight twitch ut my trousor log nus if a brier had caught it or a playful kitten had touched it with her claw. but pretty soon | fell in the grass and lay there all day and all nignt while Morgun ana the st of the boys marched away into Obio,” e — A visitor to the studio of a i New York curtoonist re- marked to the gifted urtist: ‘ou are very skillful in drawing pios tures.” *You bet.
