THE TBOUBLKNOHE TWINS.
There once were twins, two toddling things,
Who looked like one another,
Ami just to tell which one was which
Was sometimes quite a bother;
For when you felt most some of one,
He likely was the other.
Whether Ted was Tod, or Tod was Ted,
Sometimes caused apprehension,
Ami led to blunders and mistakes
Too numerous to mention;
Yet none were smart enough to find
A positive prevention.
If Ted, while playing in the barn.
Met with slight disaster,
They’d be sure, 1b their alarm,
To clap on Tod the plaster,
They’d give Ted oil when Tod wa9 sick,
And Tod got well no faster.
One of them died - they ne'er knew which—
And then came consternation!
IIow oould they put upon the stone
A bald prevarication ?
They simply carved on it44 T—D,”
And closed the altercation.

•‘A SICK SWTKH.”
How n Confederate Mpy Picked Up
Information for Hen. Early.
While .Sheridan’s forces were lying
in camp, just previous to Early’s move
ment and temporary victory by passing
along the base of Massachusetts Moun
tain, at Strasburg, Va., I was sent
into the federal lines by tien. Early to
pick up such information as could be
had. The armies were so close together
that there was no neutral ground be
tween them for one to oi>erate on, and
the task of penetrating the lines seem
ed to me the most perilous one I liad
yet undertaken. After casting about
for a day, and holding interviews with
some residents of the vicinity, who had
come into the Confederate lines for
safety, I decided on a plan.
On the pike leading out of town and
running along the right flank and rear
of the federal army, or at least a part
of it, was a Confederate war widow
who could be depended on. A part of
her house was then occupied by fede
ral officers, and it was certain to be a
depot for information. From a woman
in Strasburg I borrowed a pretty com
plete outfit of wearing apparel, had my
long hair trimmed as manvof the South
ern women wore theirs during the war,
and at dark one night I moved along
the right flank of the federal army un
til two miles below the point I designed
to make. Then I put myself in female
rig, arranged an extra bundle, and
struck the Middletown pike in tire rear
of the Sixth corps. It was five minutes
before I was challenged and an officer
called to investigate, and this is the
storv I told: ,
“My name is Mayworth. My hus
band was killed at Bull ltun. 1 live in
the log house on the cross road coming
in, about one mile from here, where
your i>eople burned the big red barns.
My sister, Mrs. Akrow, lives in the
double log house, just as you raise the
hill a mile and a half ahead. I am sick
and worn out, and am going to stay
with her until this is over.”
Scarcely a question was uskcu me.
1 was challenged twice more, but got
off just as easy. Having come m be
hind a jiortion of the army in blue, no
one could well suspect me, ami, as a
matter of fact, the women of that neigh
borhood were shifting about a good
deal, and there was no military reason
why they should bo stopiied. I reached
Mrs. Akrow’s without a mistake. 1
knew that the fronts of both houses
were occupied by officers, anil when I
approached it was by the rear. I had
to pass half a dozen orderlies to get into
the house, though some of them want
ed to jest with me, no one interfered
with my movements. I found the wo
man just as she had been described,
intelligent, patriotic and observing.
.She had been doing cooking and laun
drv work for some of the officers, and
lin'd kejit her eyes and ears ojien. On
two occasions she had been through
the Sixth corps, and she knew the lay
of the ground clear down to the base
of the mountain and tlio force of cav
alry holding it.
I had passed for a female very well
at night, but I could not run too many
chances by daylight. I therefore went
to bed to jilay sick. I was entirely
beardless then, but we jiut a poultice
on my cheek for neuralgia, tied a cloth
over the greater share of my face, and
as I lay in bed with my woman s night
dress on the makeui> was complete.
Indeed, an army surgeon came in and
prescribed for me, and two vivandiers
visited me on two different occasions
without the imposition being detected.
I was in the house eight days and
nights, and between what I heard and
what Mrs. Akrow saw and picked up,
I rejiorted to Gen. Early on my return
to his headquarters the number of fed
eral cavalry holding the advance posi
tion within 250, the number of field
pieces within three, the exact number
of earthworks and length of breast
works and tile amount of artillery in
the Sixth corps, lacking tliree or four
guns.—Detroit Free Press.

FATE’S CONTRASTS.
Two Results of Musical Study In
Europe.
Your story about Giulia Valda, the
Julia Wheelock of former times in
Davenport, and her rise to eminence
as a prima donna in Europe, was very
entertaining, but there is another
young lady who used to sing with the
Presbyterian choir here and who went
to Europe for training as a soprano in
opera who had no such good fortune
as Julia Wheelock, and whose fate is
the saddest, if not the most awful,
that can befall any woman.”
The speaker was a long-time resi
dent who used to take a great interest
in musical matters in the city.
“And who was she, pray?” asked
the scribe.
“ Minnie Beals—Miss Minnie Beals
—don’t you know her?”
The scribe didn’t remember her as
a member of the Presbyterian choir,
lie did remember the name, and that
there was something awful connected
with it, but couldn’t recall it particu
larly.
VYell, she was in Davenport a
great deal, and 6ang with that choir
often. She took music lessons in
Davenport , and her father was a pretty
good customer of our music stores.
His name was M. B. Beals. His
home was in Moline. They lived
there in the ’GO’S and went to Kansas
in ’70. Their home was near an army
I tost, and Minnie Beals became ac
quainted with Lieutenant Reed, who
fell in love with her. The family re
turned in ’75, and that is when our
acquaintance commences. She was a
very handsome young lady, with a
perfect voice and winning ways. She
was in Davenport a good deal, and
was a favorite in musical circles. She
had determined to go to Europe to
pursue her musical studies. One even
ing a concert was given for her bene
fit in Moline. A good number of
Davenport people went over. Prof.
Cramer and Mr. Wallace assisted, I
remember. Just after the concert
Lieut. Reed came to Moline and his
visit resulted in a betrothal, but Miss
Beals insisted on her year of instruc
tion in vocal culture in Europe. Tho
Lieutenant consented on condition that
the marriage take place before her de
parture. His people lived in New
York, his father being a wealthy mer
chant. Miss Beals and her mother
visited the Lieutenant’s people, and
the senior Reed was so pleased with
his son’s betrothed that he told her
she should have the best instruction
that she could get in Euroiie and at
his expense. After a few weeks the
marriage took place in Grace Church,
New Yoik, and at 4 o’clock the same
afternoon the bride sailed for Havre
in a steamer.
“ Well, I am stretching it out. The
Lieutenant and her people in Moline
received letters from her for several
months—and at last her husband was
astounded by a telegram announcing
iier death at Milan. He askod for
particulars, and the reply was that
she died suddenly from heart trouble.
He requested that her remains be for
warded to New York. In due time the
casket arrived, but with instructions
that it should not be opened on any
account. The instructions were
followed—the casket was interred in
the Reed plot in Greenwood Ceme
tery. It was not long after that Lieu
tenant Reed received a letter which
stated that his wife was living. Ho
caused the casket to be disinterred and
the remains examined. The body was
tliat of a gray-haired, toothless, aged
woman. The Lieutenant then com
menced his investigation, and discov
ered that his wife was indeed alive,
the mistress of an Italian marquis of
wealth. He procured a divorce. The
Beals removed from Moline to Michi
gan several* years ago. Two years
since Mr. Bea'ls was in Davenport, but
in utter ignorance as to the fate of
his daughter—whether she was alivo
still, or dead, he didn't know. Her
fate is that of not a few American
girls who have gone to Europe alone
to study music in the gay capitals.
Julia Wlieelock had an uncle who re
sided in Milan to care for her and warn
her—his house was her home. Min
nie Beals, being alone and friendless,
probably had an instructor who was a
panderer to such villains as the mar
quis who led her to ruin.”—Daven
port Democrat.

A tail old lady dressed in black,
with a bussiness-like air and water
wave curls, sailed in one of the large
dry-goods stores on Twenty-third
street, and declining the service of a
floor-walker, made directly for the
crape counter.
She had a rather preoccupied air as
she examined the stock, and the
obliging clerk remarked affably: “ We
have a verv large fall stock of cra|ies,
madame. 'Just let me show you some
fine French goods, very popular now
for all kinds of mourning. These
light-weight crapes are all the rage in
half-mourning for cousins. May—
may I ask madame.” he added hes
itatingly, “ for whom you are in
mourning?”
“Husband,” said the customer la
conically. . .
“Ah, yes; then I have just the
material you want. For husbands,
the fall styles are-”
“ Young man,” interrupted the old
lady, severely, as she adjusted her
spectacles, “ i am very much obliged
for your explanations. You may
know’ considerable about crajie and
fashions; but I buried my fourth hus
band yesterday morning, and I reckon
I’ve got a tolerable grip on the sub
ject. — N. Y. Tribune.
Trouble for the Angels.
Young Tommy lias an incredible
facility for gathering upon his clothes
all the dirt within great a radius, and
the care of his clothing is a matter of
terror to all his household. The
i other day Tommy happened to refer
in a moment of agreeable fancy to the
time when he should be singing in
heaven dressed in his robes of white.
“ So you think you will go to heaven
and 'wear a white robe, Tommy?”
asked liis sister, somewhat older.
“ Why, of course, Marian.” “ Well,
all that I can say is, wont the angels
that do the washing make a fuss when
you got there!”—Boston Transcript.
A HATRIHOSUi, ROMANCE.
A Unllnut Ncotcliman Whom Heart
is lu the KlRUt Place.
Some of tlie American papers tell the
following romantic story, in which a
Scotchman figures as the hero: Rather
a notable wedding took place in New
York the other day. with a romantic
story attached. Mr. James Robertson
Blackie, of the groat Glasgow pub
lishing house, came over the ocean to
take back with him in the guise of a
helpmeet Miss Ellen Arthur Botts, of
Savannah, Ga., who is a niece of the
late President Arthur. lie is a tall,
blonde young fellow, who is an excel
lent business man, as the present pros
l*rity of his house shows, and with a
heart in the right place, as the follow
ing little story proves: His wife was a
relative of his stepmother, and came as
a schoolgirl to Glasgow to be educated,
living in his father’s home. He fell in
love with her promptly, and they were
provisionally engaged, owing to her
youth. Upon her return to this coun
tiy she was for some time the devoted
nurse of her dying grandfather, and
after his death was attacked with a
fever as a result of a fatigue. While
still convalescent the great earthquake
that shook Charleston to pieces came
to Savannah, and the shock and terror
acting upon her enfeebled nerves, en
tirely destroyed her sight. The spe
cialists here when consulted declared
the case was hopeless and she must re
sign herself to life-long blindness. Upon
this painful verdict she wrote to her
fiancee, releasing him from the engage
ment, and resigned herself to darkness
and loneliness for the rest of her life.
The manly young Scotchman, however,
refused to submit. He took the next
steamer for this country, and on arriv
ing, declared that he loved and would
marry her whether she ever regained
her sight or not. Stimulated by this
unexpected happiness she at once be
gan to mend, and with the restoration
of her general health her eyes began
to improve, and now she has as bright
a pair of brown ones as are to be seen
anywhere, and no one can see further
into a millstone than she. They were
married and will proceed to Scotland
some time in the course of this month.

A VALUABLE WATUII.
Description or an Elaborate Dial
Owned by an Illinois Hun.
A gentleman connected with the
Illinois Watch Company has a won
derfully curious watch dial. Instead
of the Kornan numerals to denote the
hours there are eleven small but very
distinct silhouette figures, represent
ing a man starting out with his dog
for a day’s sport. At seven o’clock he
is seen starting out with his gun and
dog; at 8 o’clock he makes a shot; at
t) o’clock he has a sandhill crane
which measures as long as himself; at
10 o’clock the man and his dog are
scared at the sight of a jack-rabbit,
which is sitting upon its hind legs,
with his big long ears raised above the
bushes; at 11 o’clock the hunter takes
a drink, and while in this attitude the
dog sits in front of his master, with
his nose pointed directly at the
flask; at 12 o’clock the sportsman is
seen sitting on a stump, and is eating
a lunch—the dog is eyeing the piece of
bread which the hunter has in his
hand. At 1 o’clock he starts out to
fish the rest of the day, and so he
takes his dog and fishing-tackle and
goes to the water; at 2 o’clock the
dog, which is behind his master, has
been caught with the hook by an at
tempt to throw in his line; at 3 o'clock
he and the dog are all straightened
out again, and the line is in the water;
he has both hands on the j>ole and his
foot braced on a stump by the water’s
edge as though he had a tremendous
bite; at 4 o’clock the man has got a
fish on his line, which has pulled him
off his feet,and he falls on the dog and
doubles him all up, but the man is
holding fast to the jwle, which is bent
almost double; at 5 o’clock he is all
straightened out again; his pole is
thrown across his shonldor, and
with his fish in the other hand he
starts out for home, the dog follow
ing behind him with his head hang
ing down, being all tired out. The
man’s name is also painted in the cen
ter of the dial in rustic letters. The
dial reflects a great deal of credit
upon the artist, Mr. Charles Geyer.

A I.itile MIsunderstaudliiB
A housemaid, after being a short
time in her place, gave warning. Her
mistress asked her what she had to
find fault, with—was the work too
hard, or what? No; she had nothing
to complain of on that score, but sho
could not stand being prayed at by
the master at morning prayers.
Mistress (loquitur)—What on earth
do you mean, Mary? Your master
does not pray at any ono.
“ Oh, yes,'he does, marm; he prays
at me every day, and I wont stand it
any longer.”
“ What does lie say then?”
“Why he says, ‘ O, Lord, who
hatest nothing but the housemaid.’"
Mistress, after a little reflection and
further inquiry, ascertains that Mary
lias thus interpreted “ O, Lord, who
hatest nothing that Thou has made.”

We were driving past a Dakota set
tler’s house, when he came out and i
said: :

“ No.” i
“Ain’t? I sw’ar, I told the old
woman we got to move the house i

“ Had trouble with the railroad

res—been skakin ray house
’round all Summer. First, some men
came along in a buggy, set up some
long, slim barber pole-lookin' sticks,
stuck up a three-legged du-funny,
humped down an’ squinted through
it, an’ then says they: ‘Old hoes,
you got to move your house ’bout
four rods, ’cause we’re goin' to run a
track of the Dakota and Unmweed
Fork railroad right through here."
“ So you moved it?”
“Pulled her right out o’ the way.
I ain’t the man to hinder no public
improvements. Then some more
come along an’ squinted an’ peeked
around, an’ says they: ‘ Mister
Granger, we’re sorry, but we’ll have
to trouble you to yank your house
’round ’bout six rods to the south.
I made a bee line an’ we yanked
her.”
“Didn’t that settle it?”
“ No. In ’bout, a week I caught
some more men squintin’ an’ I called
the boys an’ we put jack-screws un
der the house an’ then I asked the
fellers where she should go. ’ Jes’
take her a quarter of a mile due
west, old man,’ says they, an’ ’fore
night me ’n the boys had her hauled.
I left the wheels right under it that
time an’ told Ike not to unyoke the
oxen.
“ Yes, but I did. Next mom’
’fore we was up ’long come a com
mittee from town an’ condemned the
house and ordered me to move it in
side of ten minutes to make room for
the Great Dakota an’ North Pole

SCHOOL TEACHES COUSIN.
How a Railroad President Ones
I'lOftKed • Refractory Pupil.
Here is an anecdote of Austin Cor
bin, President of the Reading Rail
road Company. When young Corbin
was 18 years old the school committee
of a certain New Hampshire district of
fered him a high price to teach a
school from which during the preced
ing Winter three teachers had been
driven away by unruly big boys. The
first day he opened the school the big
boys were all on hand bent on mis
chief. Corbin, seeing the devil in
their eyes, said to them:
11 Boys, I came here to teach this
school. I understand there are some
boys here who brag that they will
drive me out of the district. Now I
entend to teach this school throughout
the Winter, and we can get along
nicely together or we can have alight,
just as we choose. I intend to be
obeyed during school hours. Out of
school I am a boy with you.”
His manly, determined and pleas
ant course brought all the boys in
sympathy with liim except one big
hulking fellow. He behaved fairly
well until recoss, but when the boys
were called in he stayed out. Austin,
seeing at once that he must conquer
him, told him to come up to tlio desk
and give his reason for not coming in
when called. He made a frivolous ex
cuse in an impudent manner. Austin,
with a sudden trip and a push, landed
him on the floor, held him down and
gave him a severe flogging, which
lasted until ho asked pardon. After
that the boy was the best in the
school, because afraid of the toaclier,
while the school became the most
orderly of any in the county.—I-an

Yonder goes the dude of Yantepec, '
a wealthy young sugar planter, whose
ancestral acres stretch away beyond
the limits of the vision. He bestrides
a prancing steed, the pace of which is
here known as “ single step,” and the
gorgeous saddle and trappings that
cover the animal almost out of sight
must have cost a moderate fortune.
Observe how gingerly he holds his
gold-headed whip, and how the big
diamond sparkles in the end of it!
See his pearl-inlaid revolvers protrud
ing from the sash of crimson silk,
which his short, black jacket imper
fectly conceals.
His pantaloons, tight as two candle
molds, are decorated with double rows
of genuine half-dollars up the outside
seams, set so closely as to overlap,
and braided together with gold cord.
The pointed toes of his tiny shoes are
thrust into silver stirrups of enormous
size, and from his heels dangle silver
spurs that, ten to one, outweigh his
feet. His great sombrero of white
felt has a gold cable as large as your
thumb wound round and round it, and
its broad, thick brim bears a heavy
arabesque of gold. His horse is so
perfectly trained that the rider never
uses the rein, but bends slightly to
the right or left to indicate his wish.
The mozo, or groom, who rides be
hind at respectful distanee, forms an
admirable foil to the gorgeousness of
his master, whom lie constantly eyes
with an air of excessive pride and dig
nity, as one who says:
“ There he goes, just look at him!
Ain’t he a daisy? lfis hacienda cov
ers 1,000 square miles, and that white
sombrero cost $100 if it cost a cent.”
The mozo is a good deal more so
berly dressed than the dude he fol
lows", though his sombrero is equally
broad, and the coins on his breeches
are madros (six-cent pieces), instead
of half dollars. Besides the dagger
and brace of pistols, which he sports
in his cotton sash, a broad, savage
looking sword, called a machete, is
stuck in the saddle-sheath.—Mexican

While we were waiting at a little

“ Any political talk in the States?”
“ Some.”
“ Democrats goin’to put up Cleve

“ Yes, it looks that way.”
“ Republicans run Blaine?”
“ Probably.”
“ It’s funny how these men will

“ Ambition, I Buppose.”
“ Yes, that’s jes’ it. I dunno what

ambition a-stickin' into him.”
“ You are without ambition, then?”
“ Er—well—w’y, doggone it all,

“ There, take that,” said a red

six.
“ Madam! I-ah—don’t understand
the reason for this. How have I of

“ Don't madam me, sir. You’ve
been looking around for a white horse
ever since I got in, and I want you to
understand that if I am rod headed
