A Reminiscence of the War.
Mr. Sandford, of Alabama, to il
the House of Representative;), said he
bad heard of an incident which oc
curred on a battlefield in North Car
olina. Two brothers, one wearing
the blu?, and the other tho gray, had
by a strange coincidence, shed their
life-blood on the same battlefield. A
tender father's hand gathered their
remains together and buried them in
the same grave, over which he raised
n t;lsalt bearing on tho northern face
i he name of him who had worn the
blue, and on its southern face the
name of him who had worn tho gray.
On tho western face was tho inscrip
tion : "Erec ted by tho loving hand of
a futhcr over two boys, equally lov
ed," and,'on the eastern face, the in
sci'ipiion, "Who was right and who
was right shall bo decided before
that great tribunal to which both
have gone. I, their father, will not
decide who was right and who was
wrong."
The Efleot.
Tho Baltimore Gazette stales that
llie Ihsuo between Congress and the
fraudulent President is as follows:
"The ono roan power against the
people I The free ballot box against
the standing army ! Upon that issue
let tho Democracy come before the
country at the next election. The
veto is a blunder, a folly of a desper
ate party. It gives the victory to
the Democracy beyond all perndven
ture if tbey have the manhood to
grasp it. It unites Democrats in a
brotherhood closer than they have
known for many long years. It
hushes into silence all lesser ques
tions ; il stirs a splendid cnlhusasm.
All that is needed is the time to let
the people speak out. The result is
not doubtful."
Curious.
The Han isburg Patriot states that
when tbe remains of Mr. Benjamin
Singerly, formerly State printer of
Pennsylvania, were disinterred at
Pittsburg, a short time ago, for the
p n pose of removal to Philadelphia,
they were found to have undergone
pctrilicalion. The entire faco and
form seemed as if chiseled in marble,
every feature and lineament being as
perfect as in life. Mr. Singerly
weighed at the time of his death,
some two years ago, nearby four nun
died pounds, but the petrified corpse
weighed nine hundred and eighty
poumis, and a block and tackle were
found necessary to raise it from the
grave,
A Singular Dream.
Two young men of Norrtdgewock,
Maine, met one morning, and one
said : "Charles, I dreamed last night
that you were a Judge of the Su
preme Court of Maine ; that I was a
minister, and that you called on me
to open your court with prt.ycr."
Just thirty years after this, Rev. Dr.
Charles F. Allen, late President of
the Slate College, happened to step
into the Supreme Court room in Au
gusta. Judge Chas. Dantforth beck
oned lo lain, and asked him to open
his court with prayer, and, behold,
Ihe di earn of thirty years was verifi
ed. Rev. Dr. Allen is now pastor of
lue Methodist Church nt Fairfield.
Alle Samee.
lie was a Chinaman, slightly over
the bay and he rushed in o a Blake
slrect saloon excitedly, rushed up to
the bar and cried excitedly ? " Whis
kee eoekcc-lalllo fol me allee samee
Melican iann."
The barkeeper arranged the mix
ture, handed it on', and the China
man poured it down, started for the
door, shouting: "Puttee down on
slattc, alloc same Melican man."
And long before the bar keeper
cohld get bold of a club, the celc&tir 1
was seen no more of men.
"I really believe," remarked Mr.
Hayes, scrambling to his feet and
looking intently up at the top of
the precipice over which he dropped,
"I really beliove the Democrats have
backed down. They are not in sight,
aro they, Itodgcrs?" "Not so far as
I can perceive from our present atti
tude," replied the amiable private
secretary, leaning back in the mud
and sighing deeply.
