I was born in Virginia in 1814; emi­ grated to east Tennessee with my parents when a boy, Mid have lived in Tennessee ever since. When the Mexican war broke out, I enlisted; served nearly two years in the Mexican war; got an honorable discharge, and came back to Tennessee. When the war of the rebellion broke out, while my neighbors were enlisting in the Confederate army, I did not forget my allegiance to my country, and enlisted in tbe Federal army, and served two years more for Uncle Sam, and got an honor­ able discharge. When I returned home I was jewed at, had the finger of scorn pointed at me, not being fortunate enough to have a home of my own and being past 50, the service was rather severe for one of my years. Alter the act of June 27, 1890, was entitled to a pension for rupture and loss of sight of $12 per' month, which drew till March, 1804. Since tke present administration and the sympathisers of the rebellion came into power, I have been dropped, and since that time I have not been able to find out the cause. Now I am blind and without means of support and if I do not get reinstated, I am likely to be a county charge.--AlextmOer Flit- eher, 18th Kentucky Cavalry. The Bravest Act Be Knew Of I have been very much interested read­ ing the "Stories of War Time," and es­ pecially the ones giving an account of the bravest and most heroic deeds of the war. I saw many brave deeds while in the service, but none equal to the one which I am about to relate. It occurred in the old stockade, at Anderoonville, during the summer of 1864. The prisoners had been drawn up for the purpose of being counted and passed. There were to be only a limited number sent out to freedom, only those who were the worst, and were already nearly dead. A sergeant of an Iowa regi­ ment was bad off, and had succeeded in getting into the ranks, to march to "God's country." One of the members of his company, who was as bad or worse than himself, came to him, and begged him to let him have his chance. He re­ minded him that he had a wife and child at home, while the sergeant was a single man. But life was sweet, and he hesi­ tated. He looked at the man who was so eager to get his place and finally stepped aside and allowed his comrade to take his place, to have his chance of freedom and life. It was truly giving up his life for another, for he never came out of the prison pen alive. That was true heroism. Not on the spur of the moment, not while nerved by the excite­ ment of battle, but deliberately, knowing that in all human probability he was giving up his lastchance for freedom, and for life, he gave this chance to his com­ rade, and went back to his death.--Geo. A. Barm, Corporal Co. A, IU.Jntt. Married In Haste. While tbe town board meeting of West Indianapolis was in session a few nights aga Justice of tbe Peace Allen, who was present, was summoned to perform a marriage ceremony. The contracting parties were Mr. John Per­ ry and Miss Mary McGreevy. The cere­ mony was performed at the residence of the bride on Bridge street. When Mr. Allen entered the house, be was in­ formed that it was desired by both par- r ties that the ceremony be a short one." Mr. Allen promptly tied the knot. Mr. Wynne, who had taken his watch from his pocket to note the time consumed in the ceremony, startled them all by an­ nouncing that the world's record had just been broken. "You have taken only 2)4 seconds in the ceremony." Another gentleman present affirmed Mr. Wynne's statement.--Indianapolis Journal. _____ Books cheap, nice bound onljr SO and 36 cents at J. A. Story's. Pithy, Pointed and Pertinent. The Democratic Association of Minne­ sota having read twelve democratic Sen­ ators out of their party should now tell what is left how they are to get along without them. The Washington authorities will enter­ tain "Gen" Coxey at public expense, if he ever gets to the National Capitol with his army, but the jail fare is hardly up to that of the hotels at which Coxf(y has been taking his meals. It seems a little queer for a man to preach a sermon from a church pulpit Sunday morning and to deliver a paid for lecture from the stage of a theatre the same evening, but Sam Small did it in Washington last Sunday. Stepping from the pulpit to the stage could not phase the man who has been dividing his time between preaching and editing an administration democratic paper; noth­ ing could. No one can doubt the extent of demo­ cratic harmony when Gov. Tillman, of S. C-, is demanding that Cleveland shall be impeached, and Minnesota democrats are jumping on anti-Cleveland demo­ cratic Senators. Senator Brice thinks tbe farmers may as well adjust themselves to five-cent cotton and fifty-cent wheat. Democratic stump-speakers in the Cleveland cam­ paign promised just double those prices. Boss Crocker's latest interviews indi­ cate that he is a little uncertain as to just "where he is at." Congressman Wilson is so much better that it is said that he is going back to Washington to resume his duties. He will need an introduction to the tariff bill which he helped to put together and to railroad through the House, so great has been the change since he saw it last. Oh yes, the democratic Senators are opposed to trusts--those which cannot be influence by legislation. Mr. Cleveland may think just as Sena­ tor Hill does about some parts of the tariff bill, but all the same he has not congratulated Hill for making that speech. The democrats have put "elections" on the black list as subject of conver­ sation. As if the democrats in\Congress "were not already suffciently divided upon the tariff and silver a new division is appar­ ent over the repeal of the tax on state batik currency. Oh yes, the people of this country are just howling for free trade. If you don't believe it just refer to recent election returns. Boss Crocker found Tammany some­ what demoralized, although still hdlding on to the offices, when he got back home. Tammany also found the "old man" somewhat "broke up," over the outlook for a continuation of his "perq's."^ The six Democrats, who by some ap­ parent oversight were elected to the Rhode Island legislature, will hardly try to carry out the Democratic anti-election program of electing a Senator from "little Rhody," to succeed Senator Dixon, whose term expires next March. Members of the Louisiana legislature, which meets next month, are just now haughtier than aldermen. They will have to elect three U. S. Senators--the first occurrence of its kind--one to fill the unexpired term of Justice White; one to fill the full term from March 4, 1895, to which Justice White had been elected, and one to fill the unexpired term of the late Senator Gibson, which ends March 3,1897. Senator Murphy's statement that the tariff bill will not be voted upon before next November has worried the Demo­ crats quite as much as the set speech made by Senator Hill against the bill. The latest news from Hawaii says Lil. is restless. That's exactly the predica­ ment of her friends, Grover and Gresham. Does the sudden activity of the Wash­ ington police authorities against Coxey's army indicate that anybody's, fright- ened? < Heal Estate Transfers.

It was the establishment of a cir­ culating picture gallery, which should occupy the same relation with regard to paintings as Mudie does in respect of books. Of course the subscription would be higher, as the number of sub­ scribers would be limited. But the pictures would be changed every month, so that a man need never be bored by the eternal sameness of the walls. A story is told of a man who dined op­ posite to a fine work by Sir Joshua Rey­ nolds for so many years that it at last had to be moved, for it irritated him to such an extent that he threatened to hurl a decanter of port wine at it. The new society would effectually obviate any such annoyance. All the works would be for sale, so any subscriber taking a fancy to a particular picture might ob­ tain the price from the secretary and on payment thereof could become its pos­ sessor. The advantage of this system, especial­ ly in the present depressed state of the fine art market, is obvious, and it would also be a benefit to the buyers, because they would discover after the trial of a month whether they really liked a pic­ ture or not. The terms of the subscription would of course be in proportion to the style of pictures supplied. Of course if you ex­ pected to have works by Sir Joshua Reynolds, George Romney and Sir John Everett Millais the payment would be very much more costly than if you only required a series of prints. But the sub­ scriptions should be so regulated that it would bring the circulating picture gal­ lery within the reach of all.--London Graphic. S'M. KI88ING IN COURT. NO. 41. omen Show Their Gra Lawyer, Judge and Jury. Men running from women wishing to kiss them agitated the county court at Long Island City the other day. Judge Garretson was on the bench. A jury had just announced a verdict of "not guilty" in the case of Anna Wonzowlas- ka, a pretty Polish girl 16 years old, charged with a criminal offense. The verdict caused a commotion among a number of Polish women in the rear of the courtroom. They rushed into the open space reserved for lawyers and fell upon Counselor Merrill, who defended the girl, and assailed him with fervent kisses. Each kiss was loud, and the counselor became red in the face. The jurymen smiled, but their turn was coming. Before they realized what was going to happen, the women made an assault upon the jury box and grab­ bed the members of the jury around their necks and imprinted kisses on their cheeks and hands. The men struggled, but the chairs prevented their escape un­ til all but the foreman had received an affectionate embrace. Foreman Arm­ strong ran for the door. It was a short, sharp race, but the foreman won. Judge Garretson frowned from the bench. He was too surprised to act un­ til it was nearly all over. He was re­ covering his composure when the women started for him. The judge was saved by the interference of the court officer, who succeeded in getting the women to leave the courtroom. The earnestness of the women had such an effect on the spectators present that they made up a purse of $20 for the girl. She left the court light of heart.--New York Times. A PHYSIOLOGICAL CURI08ITY.

SscBrnjr of a Man Whose Loagi Were Mx- posed by a Wood tew. Gus Carlson, who was accidentally thrown against a steam wood saw some four months ago and a gash cut across his breastbone and ribs, exposing his lungs and other internal mechanism, has nearly recovered and will soon be able to go out. The doctors were much inter­ ested in his case, or rather in viewing what was inside the case, as it is very seldom they get a chance to watch the expansion and contraction of a set of lung% The most remarkable thing about it was to see how gradually the lungs were filled and how suddenly they collapsed when the breath expired. The doctors would have liked to leave a peephole open in Carlson's thorax, but were afraid he might contract pneumonia through it.--Portland Oregonian. A British Cabinet Secret. - A London correspondent says that the renewed agitation on the subject of the navy has led to the disclosure of another cabinet secret. It is now known that Gladstone stood absolutely alone among his ministers in opposing the large in­ crease in the naval expenditure. He was unyielding to the end, and this was on© of his principal reasons for his decision to resign, a decision which he did not communicate to any one of his official advisers, and which they first learned through the Pall Mall Gazette's prema­ ture publication. White Glrla' Marriages With Indians. Of the two New England girls who at­ tracted notice a few years ago by wed­ ding Indians, one, Nora Belle Fellows, the former schoolteacher, has found life unbearable with the Sioux Chaska and has left her husband. The other, Elaine Goodale, the poet, found life on an In­ dian reservation unbearable and has come east with her husband. The result in both cases seems to show the nonsuo- cess attendant on attempted affiliation of Indian savagery and white civilisa­ tion.--Boston Home JoumaL Petroleom la £b|1mmL The discovery of petroleum oil tn Som­ erset excites great interest.

A FLYING STREET CAR. •»aj Aa Aerial Whalebaek to Su f>j Tidlef at the Antwerp BxpoatU«M, A flying street car is thelale||!||^velty which an ingenious Belgian (jaat&visdd for the convenience and; ;sntti||iiMM«^ visitors to the Antwerp iiixliilp|iit'̂ ff|" % does not call it a flying street ear, Ifttfc' "grand balloon dirigible" is tits way of putting it. In appearance the flying street car re* sembles the famous Pennington airship or a miniature whalebaek upside down. The floating apparatus is & huge cigar shaped bag, to which is attaefted the street car itself. In the front op powtf the car is an immense fan or gnmPjepv and at the other end an apparatus like a barn door in three sections, wfctehpr»> vides a rudder. ' The car is divided into three one for the motorman, another for tins passengers and a third, which OQR% sponds about in size to the hagqajTl apartment on a suburban car, is for tha use of the conductor. The much abused trolley system has been turned to good account in oooneo* tion with this flying street oar, as from the overhead wire the dectricity ia ob« tained with which to work the Connecting the car with this o wire is a traveling cable, one end ei which connects with the motor, the other being attached to a trolley which slides along the wire as the oar moves. In the rear compartment of the ear. where the conductor has his quarters, is all the paraphernalia for lowering tits machine. A stout ship's anchor attadhsd by a wire cable to a windlass, which ia turn is connected with the eleetric motor, provides the means for hauling down tfaa flying car when a station is waited where passengers are to alight. The first practical demonstration of this aerial means of rapid transit will be made during the Antwerp estpositioa. One model machine is already pretty well advanced toward completion, tha termini of the route being the exposition grounds and the bourse at Antwscpt which are about a mile apart.
