Alexander, of Georgia, at one time of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, and at present one of the Gov­ ernment Directors of the Union Pacific, is a tall, soldierly-looking man, ever Retire and alert in all the affairs of life. He is a good writer as well as soldier and engineer, and h«s contributed many im­ portant articles to the literature of the war. It was Gen. Alexander who rode to Gen. Longstreet at Gettysburg, telling him th t his ammnnition was running short, and if. th* charge was to be made at all it must be made at once. The General describes the scene fcith .Longstreet as having been very impress­ ive. He was opposed to the movement that General Lee had ordered him to make, and when Alexander's words fell upon his ear he wa£ sitting upon his horse in deep thought. He at once looked to­ ward Pickett, who immediately rode up, sainted, and siid: "General, shall I move forward?" Longstreet, absorbed with the dangers of the sanation, simply bowed his head without uttering n word. Pickett took in the situation, moved to the head of his troops and started forward on one of the most desperate charges that were ever made in civilized warfare.--Louisville Courier-Journal.

The sign of addition is derived from the initial letter of the word plus. In making the capital letter it was made more and more carelessly j until the top part of the P was placed near the center, and hence the plus sign was finally reached. The Bign of subtraction was derived frt>m the word minus. The word was first contract­ ed into m n s, with a horizontal line above to indicate the contraction, then the letters were omitted, which left the short line, --. The multiplication Bign was obtained by changing the plus sign into the letter X. This was done because multiplication is a short method of ad­ dition. Division was formerly indicted by placing the dividend above a horizj tal line, and the divisor below. In orin^y, to cave spice in printing- the divide was placed to the left and the divisor] the right, and n dot was written in l place of each. The radical sign was 1 at rived from the initial letter of the wqaiu radix. The sign of equality was fij. used in 1557. It was used to avq^lxepe ing the words "equal to." ^ A Woman in the Case*: There always is. She 1B the power lirst hind the throne.

AfkeliMkiii j ••miiiy . Mel? and tJntta* nelnnabto Polly Jurdun. ™ Mrs. Hardy and Mrs. Jordan are two ladies who live side by side in West Forty-eighth street. There is a church on one side of Mrs. Jordan's house. Each of the ladies has a parrot. Mrs, Jordan's parrot is named Polly Jordan and the other is called Johnny Hardy. Polly Jordan is the best talker, but Johnny Hardy has the best disposition. Johnny will sit for hours on the shoul­ der of his mistress, petting her in his own little way, rubbing her cheek and Beck with his bill, and now and then touching her softly with his black ton­ gue. Mrs. Hardy likes to have her hair fussed with, and so he has learned to pull her hairpins out and push them back again, only at last to let her hair all down. He is great company, for he talks softly most of the time he is <loi*g these things. The talk goes as fol­ lows : " Mother's pretty Johnny, mother's bird. Come kiss me--t-h-s--fc-h-s-- oome. Shake hands, sweet bird. Pretty, pretty, pretty. How do yon do? How do-o you do-o, Johnny Hardy? Mother, scratch my head. Ma-a-a, scratch my head." His way of putting sentences together is sometimes almost startling, for he will say to a stranger : "Hello! How do you do? Got any­ thing to eat this morning? Johnny wants a cracker." Once when the maid had given him a piece of bacon, which he * liked im­ mensely, Mrs. Hardy said, "Why, you mustn't give him anything so greasy as that." Johnny cocked his head to one side, but said nothing till next morning. Then when the maid appeared he shouted: "Hello! (Jot anything greasy this morning?" Mrs. Jordan's bird is not affectionate, but it is very smart. It learns all sorts o£ speeches, good and bad, and es­ pecially bad.' The reason is that Mrs. Jordan has a son of about i5 who teaches every bit of slang he picks up on the street to Polly. - So it is very amusing to hear Polly talk, and some­ times rather shocking. One day a maiden lady called on Mrs. Jordan and in a little mincing way said to Polly: "Pretty Polly. Why, Polly, Polly want a " "Oh,-for God's sake, don't say 'Polly want a cracker," broke in the bird. That ended the conversation. Polly was shut up in a dark closet, as she al­ ways is when Rbe is naughty. But it didn't seem to do any good, for, just as the closet door waH shut, she said, as the boy had taught her to do under such circumstances: "Ha-ha-ha-ha. Don't yhu think you're smart? Oh, my.-y-y!" In a minute more his muffled voice was heard from within saying: "Come off! oh, come off!" and tbeu, in a perfect scream, "Come o-o-o-off!" They took him out of the closet, and he said: "Pretty Polly! Loves his mother-- loves his mother--oh-h-li-h !" 1_ -•Tnlinny Hnrdv iu>d Poll- T--' ^ e d 8XZTaers £ Quintette Orchestr'" Grippe has Left the System badly debilitated in millions of cases.

It always put the whole neighbor­ hood in a roar. But one day naughty Polly Jordan put an end to this sort of fun. The minister of the church thai stood next door was a man of strict Calvin istic views, of loud voice, of forci­ ble manner, and was withal thoroughly in earnest in his faith. On a certain Sunday morning, which the neighbors will not forget, Mrs. Jordan hung Polly out and went away to her own church, further down town. Polly be­ haved very well until the text was given out in the church. It was a warm day and the windows were all open, so the emphatic voice of the minister was plainly heard as he said: "My text,' this morning, is as follows: 'There is a lake that burneth with fire and brimstone, and all liars shall have their part therein.'" "Get on to that, Johnny Hardy!" shouted the parrot at that instant. A sermon of the most rigoroqs char­ acter followed, any Polly, with what seemed to be almost a devilish instinct, kept up a run of comment: "Go for'em! Give'em fits! You're ft dandy! Hit 'em agin!. Ha-ha-ha-a-a! Knock the stuffin' out'n 'em! Ra-a-ts! AVhoop! What's the matter with Han­ nah? T-i-ime! Still in the ring! Go «oak your head!" What with the cries of the children who gathered from the shanties that were then to be found not far away, the voice of the speaker and the pounding ;bn the pulpit, Polly got into a frenzy of excitement. It ended only when the sermon was done and the preacher said: "Let us pray." Mrs. Jordan's maid was coming up the steps. She had been to church, and was fairly gasping with horror at the tumult in the street. She reached for the cage, but Polly, aa she heard the words "Let us pray," screamed as a farwell: "WThatyer givin' us? I shall die! Oh, ha-ha-ha! I shall die! He's a fool! You're another! Oh, oh, I sha-all die!" from that day to this Polly was never hung out of doors, and people vrho want to hear her slang must needs go into the lionse. When a friend of Mrs. Jordan called at the house yester­ day and said, on noticing the bird was unusually glum, "What's the matter with Polly ?" the bird said sadly.

The rat-plague in England, especially in East Anglia, has assumed serious proportions and farmers have been com­ pelled to thresh out their wheat and sell it, because of the multitude of rats in the stacks. On a farm of 250 acres 1,800 rats have been killed since the harvest, and on a farm of 180 acres 1,000. The mischief is attributed to two causes; first, the half-cultivated holds, which are not permanently farmed and which consequently serv e as a harborage for myriads of rats and mice; and secondly, the garneteepers' obstinate and ignorant habit of destroy­ ing everything that they call vermin- stoats, weasels and especially cats. Cats in the country often take to a wild lite and thongh thaymake havoc among „ and garnet they also keep the rodent tribe. It is dangerous with the balance of nature. Hew He (let Rid of aa Irrepressible Creditor. "One of my creditors, a big, fat, strong shoemaker, was particularly ob­ noxious when I was in an embarrassed condition," said a Boston merchant, "fir he was at my honse presenting his bill three and four times a day, and often the same number of times during the evening. He made me tired and I puzzled my brain for a scheme to get rid of him, and the opportunity to get even with him came at last. "I knew that he was a coward at heart, and I resolved to make him so afraid that he would run otit of my house and never come in it again. This morning that I referred to he came as usual and presented his bilL I was busy in a room I had fixed up as a sort of 'den,' as it were, and the landlady sent him in there to find me. * 'Well, sir, what lis it?' I asked as lie oame in. <j „ " 'I have come for the amount of my bill," he replied. " 'And,' said I calmly, 'I shall be obliged to tell you that I haven't the necessary funds to liquidate that bill.' " 'Very, well, sir,'he answered. 'Then I shall be obliged to inform, you that I shall sit down here and wait until the bill is paid.' " 'Very good," said I quietly, but to tell the truth I was highly elated, for here was just the' opportunity I had been looking for. "He sat down and placed his hat on the table. When he had done this 1 called to the landlady and said: 'Mrs. {Bobbins, .1 am at home to nobody to-day, and do not wish to be disturbed under any circumstances. You may come in to-morrow morning and mail what letters you find here on my writ­ ing desk.' Theu I closed and locked the door, and stripping up some billiard cloth I had I stuffed it into every crack, leaving no place where air conhl get into the place or out. Then I drew tip a long legal-looking document which I labeled: 'My will,' which I took good care that the shoemaker cou'd see, and after writing a few notes I went to the chandelier and turned on all four burners. All the while, pre­ vious to this the big shoemaker had no doubt thought that I was bluffing him, but when 1 turned on the gas I could see that he was beginning to feel nerv­ ous. "I arranged everything neatly in the room and then sat down calmly and waited for him to weaken. The gas was escaping rapidly and the room was fast becoming filled with it. I could feel my head swim but I would not give in. All of a sudden he jumped up and said: 'I did not come here to be murdered,' and making a rush jumped through the window, taking sash and all with him. It was about twenty feet from the ground, but when he landed he started off as if a mad bull were after hiip, and I never saw him oriiis bill, for--I can't help if you donl believe me. It's the truth, and if you come up here to-morrow I'll show you the man himself, and you cafe tjitk him if it isn't so."--Boston Glob6, : * | Larvie as Food. ' Here is an appetizing extract from "Among Cannibals": One night we spent in a cave near the brook. * * The cave was not large, and was low, cold and damp, and thus not very in­ viting. We had but its naked stones for a couch, for there was of course no grass to be found in the scrub. A big lire wa« kindled: outside it was pitch dark. Sly blacks had found in a large fallen tree some larva' of beetle* (Coleoptera) on which we feasted. There are several varieties of these edible larvae, and all have a different taste. The best one is glittering white, of the thickness of a finger, and is found in the acacia trees. The others live in the scrubs and are smaller and not equal to the former in flavor. The blacks are so fond of them that they even eat them alive, while they pick them out of the decayed trunk of a tree--a not very at­ tractive spectacle. The larvso were usually collected in baskets and so taken to the camp. The Australian does not as a rule eat raw animal food; the onl^ exception I know of being these cole­ optera larvae. The large fire crackled lustily in the cave while we sat round it preparing the larva;. We simply placed them in the red-hot ashes, where they at once became brown and crisp, and the fat fairly bubbled in them while they were being thus prepared. After being turned once or twice they were thrown out from the ashes with a stick and were ready to be eaten. Strange to say, these larvsc were the best food the natives were able to offer me, and the only kind which I really enjoyed. If such a larvae is broken in two it will be found to consist of a yellow and tolera­ bly compact mass rather like an ome­ let. In taste it resembles an egg, but it seemed to me that the best kind, namely, the acacia larvre, which has the flavor "of nuts, tasted even better than a European omelet. The natives always consumed the entire larvae, while I usu- j ally bit off the head and threw aside the J skin, but my men always consumed my leavings with great gusto. Tbey also ate the beetles as greedily as the larvte, simply removing the hard wings before roasting thom. Beans and Blushea. The conversation of the little group ran the other evening on the odd replies that people often make through misun­ derstanding other people's remarks; and one of the company told a story of ' a humiliating circumstance of this sort of which he was once the victim. It happened quite a number of years ago, when the hero was a younger man than j he is now, and when it was the fashion, ! if~ene had ladies at the theater, to take I them to Copeland's to supper after- I ward*. This youag man had taken two young ladies to the theater, and when he entered the restaurant with them it was with the determination to do the wildly magnificent thing, and so dis­ tinguish himself before the ladies and all the other people in the place, that young men usually have on such occa­ sions. But before he ordered he wished to consult the young ladies' preference. He bent toward them and remarked softly: " What shall it be ?" The tall young waitress who stood be­ hind the chair must have heard the last word and caught a familiar sound in it, for she spoke up, qtiite at the top of her voice, and loud enough to be heard all over the restaurant: "We're all out of beans!" And it was quite • out of the young man's power to get a public reputation for magnificence that night.--Boaton Transcript EQCTTT has been gradually shaping itself into a refined science which no human faculties could master without long and intense application. • > * T a o r A »Cy;" f Bow Bfatlop Bockwith Contacted A tlnr!*!. It was no* uncommon circumstance during the war for a stranger within the lines of the enemy to be hung for a spy. Frequently it happened on both sides that absolutely innocent men who Were un&ble to give satisfactory inform­ ation concerning themselves met an ig- nonimous death which they did not de­ serve. Even the. epithet of a spy, coupled with a man's name, in those days, secured for him the loatliing ^nd contempt of his captors, and it was rare, indeed, that a man could be found with courage sufficient to cham­ pion the came of a prisoner under sus­ picion. Bishop Beckwith was one of the men who knew no fear, and during all the years he served as chaplain on Gen. Polk's staff, he was never known to"' swerve from the path which he considered that dnty marked out for him. A striking example of the determination of his character was given toward the close of the war, when in defiance of the bind­ ings of a court martial and in. opposi­ tion to the sentiment of the entire army, lie used every effort to save the life of a spy. It was during the last year of the Confederacy that a man was found loi­ tering about Gen. Polk's headquarters. He was unable to answer the questions put to him satisfactorily, and, as his whole bearing proclaimed him a north­ erner, immediately it was said: "That man is a spy. Let him be hung." b A drum-head court martial listened to the testimony, and, as the prisoner oould only bring forward his unsup­ ported assertion that he was innocent, he was quickly sentenced to be hung. It was while the prisoner was waiting to be executed that Bishop Beckwith heard of the case, and hurried to offer what consolation he could. Something in the story he was told by the con­ demned man convinced the chaplain that there, was some truth in the story he had listened to, and by the exercise of his wonderful ^eloquence he procured a new trial. The accused man's unsupported tes­ timony was, however, not sufficient to conviuce a court composed of stern soldiers asr it had the man of God, and he was again found guilty and sentenced to be hung the next day. #• All the intervening hours the bishop passed preparing the condemned spy for the dreadful ordeal through Which he was to pass, and he even consented to go as far as the gallows with the man he had tried to save, though he could not bring himself to promise that he would stand by and see the execution performed. In the gray light of the breaking day, a dismal procession took its way to the borders'of the camp. In the midst of the soldiers marched a man with his arms pinioned behind him, and by his side was the friend he had found in the midst of his enemies striving to comfort the doomed man in the hour of his eore trial. Not until th<v«»fi«* «u> abont hit neck, did the clergyman turn away, BO as U avoid seeing the death struggle, and as soon as it was over he hurried back to render the la«t service possible, aud to see that Christian burial was given (the lifeless clay. About the foot of the gallows tKe soldiers stood looking at the swaying body. There was no pity in their hearts for the life cut off in its prime, and when their chaplain asked them to cut down the body and.place it in the rude coffin which had been prepared, they all turned away,1 saying: "He was a spy, let him hang' there till' he rots." When th^ chaplain found all his en­ treaties useless, he advanced with a knife, and quietly, but with determina­ tion, commenced cutting down the body. Every man there had received some kindnetH from the clergyman, and tbey all loved him well. When they saw that he was in earnest, reluctantly they lent their aid, and in a few moments the body was lying on the grass. Under the same force of example the soldiers even consented to place the corpse in the coffin, but digging a grave for a convicted spy was asking too much of them, and they refused absolutely to make a beginning. Without a word of upbraiding or complaint, Chaplain Beckwith pro­ cured a spade and commenced dig­ ging. One by one, the hearts of the men softened at the sight of their brave pastor performing, for duty's sake, such an unusual task, and soon a big soldier, who had been earnest in his assertions that the "damned spy should be left for the buzzards to feed on, took the spade from his hands and con­ tinued the work. Others came to his aid, and the grave was quickly made. When the coffin was finally lowered Chaplain Beckwith read the Christian burial service, and saw to it that a wooden cross was placed at the head of the mound. After the war news of the manner by which the spy received the last offices of the church was carried North, aod finally reached the dead man's family.

The very thing that most men think tbey have got the most ov, they hav the least ov, and that iz judgment. A man iz vain just in proportion tew hiz phollv, and wize just in proportion tew hid humility. A vain man, flnshed with success, spreads himself like a peakock on a fair day; but when hiz hoar ov trial cuma, like a peakock, on a wet day, he folds hiz spread, "and steals silently away." When vice leaves au old man, it iz no ways certain that virtew takes the place Gv it, for sin sumtimes quits us because it haz nothing to feed ou. It seems very natral for all ov us to think that the world . would get along very poOrlv if it wan't for us, and if there wan't but one man left on the face ov the earth, he would think just 'so, too. The luxurys ov life, which are so of­ ten reprimanded, are, after all, the prinsipal promoters ov industry. Munny ain't akumulated so mutch to satisfy wants as tew kreate them. It iz a very wise man who iz able to hide his ignorance. * ' , Wisdum is another name lor genius, and both are the gift of God.

So confident are the nwirmfactnrers of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Rem^Hp' in their ability to oure Chronic Catarrh in the Head, no matter how bad or of how long standing, that they offer, in good faith, the above •eward, for a case which they cannot cure. * >: j SYMPTOMS OF CATARRH. Headache, obstruction of nose, dischargee falling into throat, sometimes profuse, wa­ tery, and acrid, at others, thick, tenacious, mucous, purulent, bloody and putrid ; eyes weak, ringing in ears, deafness, difficulty of clearing throat, expectoration of offensive matter ; breath offensive ; smell and taste impaired, and general debility. Only a few of these symptoms likely to be present at once. Thousands of cases result in con­ sumption, and end in the grave. »By its mild, soothing, antiseptic, cleansing, and healing properties, Dr. Sage's Remedy cures the worst cases. This infallible rem­ edy do£s not, like the poisonous irritating snuffs, "creams" and strong caustic solu­ tion* with which.- the pntotfe tM*§ humbugged, simply palliate for a short time* or drive the disease to the lungs, as there is danger of doing in the use of such nostrums, but it produces perfect and permanent cures of the worst cases of Chronic Ca­ tarrh, as thousands can testify. »* Cold in the Head" is cured with a few applica­ tions. Catarrhal Headache is relieved and cured as if by magic. It removes offensive breath, loss or impairment of the sense of taste, smell or hearing, watering or weak eyes, and impaired memorv, when caused by the violence of Catarrh/as thev all frequently are.
