On the morning of July 10, shortly
after midnight, James McArthur left
Cresco on his wheel for the 4 o'clock
train from Calinar south. On tho coun
ty line road near Mr. B:ip.ning"'s, as ho
approached the railroad crossing
where ho would turn to go cast, he
observed two men standing on or near
the crossing, both of whom started on
tho run toward him, exclaiming
"throw up your hands you son of a
bitch." As it was up grade there, he
had dismounted and with his hand up
on tho butt of his revolver, in comply
ing with this order ho drew that weap
on from his pocket jind w^oa hto as
sailants wero within six feet of him
disohat'ged it at the person nearest,
who with shriek throw up his hands,
falling prostrate upon Uis face nearly
in front of his wheel, the other turn
ing about and running acossthe track
in tho direction from which they came.
Mr. McArthur is so coulident that ho
shot his assailant and perhaps killed
him, that on his return to Cresco he
reported the matter tQ tho authorities,
qlTering to surronder himself, but as
no dead or injured person had been
reported it was unnecessary that ho
do so. If his assailants wero tramps
and one of thorn was laid out bv Mr.
McArthur, the one left would sooner
bury his companion than surrender

he present the case to tho authorities

of a "Business Man
We say to you lh.it you have made
too limited iu its application the defi
nition of "biisiurss mau." The man
who is employed for wages Is us much
a business iua:i as his employer. The
farmer who goes forth iu the morning
and toils all day, begins in tho spring
ainl toils all summer, aud by the ap
plication of his bruin and muscle to
the uulural resources of this country
creates wealth, is as much a business
man as the mail who goes upon the

MONEY USED IN WAR TIMES.
Bare Collection ot Currency Employed la
trade During the Rebellion.
There is a collection in this city,says
the New York Wcrrld, which is war
ranted to make the eye of the relic
Beelcer glisten with delight. It is
coin collection, not of antiques which
have the history of ages stamped on
their faces, but of coins none more than
36 years old, but each one of which tells
not only the story of the nation, but also
a personal history.
The coins are of C28 varieties, and rep
resent the various metal moneys.issued
by private individuals during three
years of the rebellion. Each bit Of bras?}
copper has adifferent design stamped,
and others a name and address.
Occasionally a wag has announced in
brass tones "I owe you one cent." Del-
monico, the gatherer in of silver and
gold, found it necessary to send forth
bits of metal stamped with his name.
Of shoemaker, grocer and candlestick
makers ther.e are any number. One
man announces to the world that 8,000
people are annually cured by his pills,
while another inculcates the moral ot
"little by little," presumably pennies,
to insure wealth. The interest of the
collection is not confined entirely to the
comic, but to the manner in which they
have been set up.
Dr. eorgo B. Bond, of New York
city, collected the coins with great care
not later than 1863, and arranged them
in a design representing the front ele
vation of the capitol at Washington,
Brass pieces are so arranged as to sug-
gest the windows and porticos. Around
the coin design are arranged pleoes of
paper money used during the war. In
cluding duplicates, just 1.283 articles
have been employed. It is probably tho
only collection of its kind in the Coun
try. The whole is inclosed in a frame
five feet eight inches by four feet, oh'i
is the property of Mrs. Kirschmann, of
No. 140 Fifth avenue, Brooklyn.
A Swan's Wing.
The first surgical case that I had in

arm that had been fractured bj a blow
from a swan's wing. The acck1-nt oc
curred on Swan lake, near-' \wnee
Village plantation, in Missis/ -un
ty, in the winter of 1879, sayS a physi
cian in Forest aud Stream. The pa
tient, a hunter for the Memphis mnrket,
was "fire hunting" at night, and a
band of swans flew at the light. Tha
man was in a little pirogue, and in
stinctively threw his arms up to pro
tect his head. The left arm wa£ struck
by tho wing of one of the birds and sus
tained a oompound fracture of the fore
arm, both bonea being broken.

urged complaints, always With the ut

soup, sir nasty, thick, greasj' poor
stuff, with nothing to feel between tho

farthing for it," I pointed out to tho
malcontents. "You need not consum3
this gratuitous food if you do not like
it, and you are not deprived of ono
ounce of your ration meat. My instruc
tions must be carried out, a-nd kettles
of soup must be placed in the rooms

silenced, but unconvinced.
About three weeks later I ascertained
the further developments of my innova

tinued to be eyed with anger and, un
tasted, to be relegated to the gutter.

KAISER AS AN INVENTOR.
Levlses A System of Fastenings tor DOOM
In Alcn-of-War.
The latest capacity in which the Ger
WttU VU1JJC1V1 UBO V-Uwcctl (V A nl trtin
self, says the New York Times, is that
of an inventor of anew system of fast
enings for watertight doors in men-of
war. He turned up in the harbor of
Syracuse recently in the llohenzollern,
and the officers of the British cruiser
Astroea, which happened to be lying
there, were not a little astonished soon
after to see him approaching their ves
sel in a steam launch, attired in tha
pnuopoly of a British admiral. He in
spected the Astroea minutely and then
carried off the captain to the Hohen
Ssollern. After entertaining him royal
ly he took him down into^the engine
room and there pointed out a water
tight door in one of the bulkheads,
which, he said, he had invented himself,
and expected to see imitated generally.
The door was of the kind known tech
nically as a "clipped door"—that is", it
is secured when shut by means of short
lever catches which are called "clips,"
In the English service as many as a
dozen of these clips are often used to
secure one door. The improvement
claimed by the emperor is that instead
of having to work the clips singly, thus
involving several operations, he can, by
an arrangement of levers, work them
simultaneously in one operation only.
Provided the mechanism is not too com
plicated and likely to get out of order,
the invention seems to be one of consid
erable practical value, ths manifest ob
jection being that if the lever happens
to be out of order at a critical moment
nil the clips and the door would be use-?
less.
