The little Imlia'na town. Hint for many

four days previous!-, after scattering

day llobson had followed him, and was
joined in his pursuit by the reunited

voiced with his latest strength: "Take
me home."
Little Lila Reynolds stood in the
group surrounding the living confeder
ate. Her tears wen- falling fast, while
the ladies were trying to hide their
emotion. These mature women felt
ashamed to weep over the death of a
foe, w hen only a few days licfore they
had assisted in every way they could
to bring alHiut that death. I.ila's little
sympathetic heart could feel only how
horriblv wrong it was for this beauti
ful Itoy to die so far awav from home.
The feverish glances of the dying youth
fell upon her. and he piti-ously liegged;
"Little girl, make these people take
me home.'
The child was so overwhelmed that
she turned upon the ladies and said:
"Why don't vou take him home?'
Mrs. Reynolds here stepped forward
and led the little girl away. The last
words she heard Charles Wallace utter
were:
"Little girl, they're cruel; they won't
take me home.'
As the sun was setting he died. The
next morning early his remains were
buried in a corner of the village grave
yard. Lila visited the grave in the
evening with flowers from her mother's

earth.
As long as there was so much as a
chrysanthemum in bloom Lila placed
fresh flowers upon that lonely South
ron's grave. She saved her pocket
money and had a ecdar plank painted
white. Then she had the painter to place
upon it the inscription:

The summer of 1884 brought the sad
intelligence to Jndge Reynolds that hia
a goidier in the federal army, had
fallen in an affray with guerrillas near
Memphis. Harry Reynolds' captain
wrote to the judge that Harry had
been buried in a Tillage cemetery a
dozen miles from Memphis, and a
cedar plank, upon which his name was
carved, had been placed at his head.
Lila passed through a tempest 01
grief over the death of her brother, and
then said:
Maybe aome little Tennessee girl
that hates this wicked war like I do.
will take care of brother's grave; so I'll
keep poor Charley Wallace's grave nice,
anvhow.
The tide of war flowed here and there
throughout the south. As a rule, the
women of the south were engaged in
the sterner duties of life occasioned by
the absence of so many of the male
population. The terrible reality of war
was ever near, and they, in many cases.
became inured to the bloody scenes of
those times. Xo sympathy could be
wasted upon even their own dead, and
of course they had little to spare for
the northern troops.
In the town of Barrett, Tenn., where
the remains of Harry Reynolds lay, the
ladies were especially vindictive against
the federal troops. Capt. Leslie had
buried Harry in the village graveyard,
because he wanted to leave a well de
fined clew to his resting place, by
which his friend. Judge Reynolds,
might find the grave of his son. The
act was bitterly rcsrnted by some of
the ladies of the place, and a few even
talked of removing the body. One of
them said:
"After all we've suffered from the
ruthless tramping of northern soldiery
over our homes, they place their dead
alongside of ours. I say, take the
Yankee's body up, and put it off to
itself."
A little child with dark brown eyes
here spoke:
"I!ut, mamma, this Yankee can't do
our dead any harm. The Yankee cap
tain said his people will come some
day and take him away. If he is left
where he is, his father can find him
easilv. Captain Minter wrote from
Chicago where he is in prison, that
Charley was killed in the Morgan raid
through Indiana. Maybe he was buried
in some graveyard, and perhaps we
we will some day find him. 1 should
feel awful if we treat this poor Yankee
lxy hadlv. and then find out that my
brother's grave had been cared for by
northern people.
The ladies gathered at Mrs. Wallace's
were touched by these tender words of
little Cora Wallace. She saw her ad
vantage, and continued:
"I think you might let me take care
of Ilarrv Revnolds grave. I was
standing by when they put him in the
coffin. He was an awful pretty man.
Not the same kind of pretty that my
brother Charley was. His hair was
light, but it clung to his forehead in
the sweetest curls. Brother was dark,
ami I used to play with the coal-black
hair on his head as it clustered about
his temples. We think the northerners
are wrong, but I suppose they think we
are wrong. Anyway, this poor Yankee
soldier and brother Charley cannot do
anv harm to either side. Lets treat
the Yankee right, and maybe some one
will treat Charley right."
One of the visitors here said:
"Cora is right. Mrs. Wallace. We
cannot afford to carry our resentment
into the graves of our enemies. Let
us remcmlier that once we were Chris
tian people, and the day may come
when we can again be such; and let us
not do too much now, that we may re
grrt after awhile.
I'nder the mellowing influences of
talk like this, Mrs. Wallace softened,
and her little daughter asked:
'May I fix up the Yankees grave
mamma.'
"Yes, dear, do as you wish.
So it transpired that Cora Wallace
performed the same sad sweet offices
for the grave if Harry Reynolds, that
Lila Reynolds had been performing for
the grave of Charles Wallace-
The war closed, thank God. The
soldiers of both armies returned home,
and purple pinioned peace spread her
beauteous and benign wings over the
land. The nobler hearts of both see-
"tes, bib; this is it.'
tions set steadily to work to heal the
wounds of war. Among these peace
makers were Col. Wallace of Tennes
see, and Judge Reynolds of Indiana.
The judge had been deterred by of
ficial duties from visiting the south
and removing his son's remains until
the summer of He started about
the first of July, accompanied by Lila,
upon this sad errand. He arrived
the middle of an oppressively hot after
noon. Lila insisted upon proceeding
immediately to the grave. Getting
directions from the hotel keeper, they
passed down the shady streets and out
to the cemetery. Lntenng the in-
closure, they saw a little girl about
'Lila's age arise from a grave, from
which she had lieen pulling the weeds.
Lila whispered:
"O, papa, that little girl looks like
my rcliel.
As Cora gazed at them she thought:
"How much like my Yankee that lit
tle girl looks:
"Mi child, can you show me the
grave of a nortnern soldier named Har
ry Revnolds?"
"Y'es. sir; this is it," was the low
sweet reply.
The strong man and the little girl
knelt reverently by the grassy mound.
Cora drew back a few paces, and
viewed the scene. She understood the
case, and was in thorough sympathy
with it. After the judge could control
his emotion, he asked:
'Who has cared so tenderly for mj
boy's grave?"
"I, sir," again came Cora's low sweet
voice.
"And what is your name my, child?"
he asked, arising, and taking her hands
in his.
"Cora Wallace, sir."
Here Lila eagerly inquired:
"Did you have a brother Charley in
the Morgan raid through Indiana?"
"Yea, he was killed on that raid."
"And I have been keeping his grave
up, in the same way you've done for
Harry's."
The two children here flew into each
other's arms, and clasped each other In
a long embrace of subdued Joy, while
The following day the remain of
Harry Reynolds were placed in a cas
ket and started north with Judge Rey
nolds and Col. Wallace accompanying
them. The children sat with arms en
twined during most of the journey.
Three days later, CoL Wallace, in gray
regimentals, gave the command r ire
to the company of union soldiers aa
they fired the military salute over the
last grave of Harry Reynolds.
Three days still later, Charley Wal
lace was laid in his new grave at Bar
rett. Cora wrote a description of the
funeral to Lila, who said, as she fin
ished the letter:
'He got home to Tennessee at last."

HOW PHRASES ORIGINATED.
Carlooa Expressions That Have Beeom
Household Words.
The origin of the phrase, "I can't see
it," is traced to Lord Nelson, who at
the battle of Copenhagen was told that
a signal was given to cease firing and
the direction pointed out to him. Seiz
ing a telescope he applied it to his blind
eye and exclaimed: "I can't see it"
"Hauling over the coals dates six or
seven centuries back, when feudal
barons often used harsh methods of ex
tracting gold from the rich Jews by
suspending their victims abovo slow
fires until they paid ransoms or died.
There was a scene of this sort in "Ivan
hoe," in which the Front de Ilocuf en
deavors to extort money from Isaac of
York, father of Rebecca.
The term "blue stocking was origi
nally used in Venice about the year 1400
to designate literary classes by colors.
In Mill's "History of Chivalry" we are
told that members of the various acade
mies were distinguished by the color of
their stockings, bine being the prevail
ing color. The application of the term
to women originated with Miss Hannah
Morea admirable description of a
"lUuc Stocking club" in her "Has Bleu."
"Corporations have no souls" is a
much older expression than most peo
ple imagine. It originated with Sir
lulward Coke, who, in the sixteenth
century, was considered one of the best
legal writers of the age. He says in
one of his treatises: "Corporations can
not commit trespass, nor lie outlawed,
nor excommunicated, for they have no
souls."
The phrase 'I acknowledge the
corn' originated with a slave. He was
charged with stealing corn found in his
possession. Having a sack with him he
was also charged with stealing that.
His reply was: "Xo, sar; I 'knowledge
de corn, but I ain't gwine to 'knowl
edge to de sack."
"Any color so it's red." originated
among the class of characters called
Jakeys in the local drama. One of
them bring on a committee appointed
to procure a new fire engine was asked
what color the company desired the ap
paratus painted. He replied: "Why,
any color so it's red."
"Drowning the miller" originated
from the following fact: If the mill
stream below the mill is dammed or
stopped the water is pounded back and
the mill becomes what the millers call
"tailed." There is too mnch water, the
mill will not work and the miller is
said to be "drowned out" Hence when
too much of any one article is put into
a mixture it is called "drowning the
miller."
"Better late than never," was used
over three hundred years ago by
Thomas Tucker in his "Five Hundred
Points of Good Husbandry." Later on
Runyan used it in his "Pilgrim's Prog
ress."
Not a few of the phrases in use at
this day originated with Lyly and are
found in his Kuphues, a popular liook
published in l.'.SO. Among them might
be mentioned "caught napping." "a
crooked stick or none, "brown study,"
catching birds by putting salt on their
tails" etc.
When people do not particularly like
each other it is sometimes said "there
is no love lost between them." The
phrase occurs in the old ballad. "The
Babes of the n ood," and in a tale oi the
days of Shakespeare entitled "Montr
chensey." Chicago News.
THE CIRCUS IN
MEXICO.
Aa American limitation Which
Is Tory
Popular.
Crude entertainment as it is, the cir
cus is gradually replacing in Mexico the
wanton brutality of the bull fight. In
many of the states the bull fight is pro
hibited by law, and in Mexico City and
the largest state capitals the revolting
exhibitions are becoming more and
more infrequent. The reputation of
the circus, meanwhile, is steadi
ly increasing. It is the most
popular American institution in
Mexico. There may be a deep
rooted dislike of the invading host of
American railway operatives, mining
engineers, contractors, speculators and
tramps, but the prejudice does not ex
tend to the American clown who can
crack jokes in tolerable Spanish. Let
him be careful to avoid wounding na
tional susceptibilities and he will be the
most popular American in Mexico, but
if he once gives occasion for offense he
will be hissed whenever he reappears
in the town and never forgotten. Mex
icans have tenacious memories when
their dignity is compromised. They
love those who flatter them. They re
sent unnecessary and wanton affronts.
The successful American clown of the
evening could give diplomatists, if he
would, useful hints for regulating their
dealing with the Spanish race. His
keen wit leaves no sting behind it His
merry jests keep the audience in a
tumultuous state of merriment from
nine until midnight Then the cafes are
filled with loungers for another hour.

cricket and heard its chirp among the
foliage in the fall, as it is quite com
mon at that season. The crickets lie
conie fi ll grown at this time and it is
then that the female, inonler to propa

enemy to the raspberry producer. With

the winter and not break till some,
windy day when the foliage has issued,
but a cane padly punctured is almost

St range as it may seem, the cricket
feeds on the raspberry at no time in its
life. When the eggs hatch in early
summer, the young crickets leave the
rancs and live upon plant lice at first
and later upon ripe fruits and succulent
food. The eggs are probably placed
inside the canes for better protection
from the depredations of predacious
nd parasitic insects that would other
wise devour them.
Every cane that contains the eggs of

SUICIDE BROUGHT FAME.
A London) Paper Tells How Toaa Thasak

The beginning ot Tom Thumb's ca
reer of almost unexampled prosperity
was not without vicissitudes, says the
London Telegraph, In its Barn am obit
uary, lie made his first bow some flve-and-forty
years ago at the Princess
theater, in Oxford street, bnt the pa
trons of a house then dedicated to the
performance of English and foreign
open could see nothing worthy of ap
plause in the clumsy antics of a diminu
tive brat dressed up as a caricature of
the great Napoleon.
The "general'' was a complete fiasco
on the stage of the Princess. The show
was transferred to the Egyptian hall,
and there, by what appeared to be a
stroke of ill luck, bnt which practically
turned out to be an extremely fortunate
contingency for the dwarf, he unwit
tingly came in collision with the brave
bnt hapless English painter II ay don.
The huge pictures of this ill-understood
artist were being exhibited in
one section of the hall, and attracting
only a few shillings, while the "gener
al" In another part of the building was
drawing a hundred pounds a day. Short
ly afterward II ay don, in a paroxysm of
insanity, engendered by sheer despair,
destroyed himself.
According to the fitness of things,
this lamentable catastrophe should have
been the ruin of Barnum and his exhi
bition. In the newspapers of the time
he was held up to execration as a "Yan
kee showman" with "yawning pock
ets," and the diminutive urchin whose
popularity had maddened the poor
painter was denounced as "a disgusting
dwarf." The takings at the turnstiles,
nevertheless, increased daily, and Tom
Thumb only suspended his crowded se
ances in Piccadilly to make a trium
phant tour in the provinces, and an
equally remunerative Continental
round.
GOLD-INCASED BODIES.

Dr. Variot, one of the most distin
guished physiciana of the Paris hospi
tals, makes a striking propostion for
the transformation of human bodies into
Indestructible mummies by means of a
process of electroplating. By this means
the entire form is surrounded by an en
velope of metal which preserves each
feature in the semblance of life, says
the Scientific American.
The process is somewhat complicated
in practice although simple in princi
ple. The skin of the cadaver is first
painted or sprayed with a solution of
nitrate of silver, which turns the skin
an opaque black. The body Is then
placed under a bell receiver In a partial
vacuum, into which vapor oi wnite
phosphorus dissolved In bisulphate of
carbon is allowed to enter. This re
duces the nitrate of silver and leaves
the skin a grayish white, like a plaster
cast.
The next step Is the application of
the metallic coating. The frame sup
porting the body is immersed in a bath
of sulphate of copper, electrical con
nection having been made with the top
of the skull, the bottoms of the feet, the
hands and several other portions of the
body and limbs.
Dr. Variot nses three small Chaudron
thermo-electric batteries to supply the
necessary current, the passage of which
causes the uninterrupted deposition of
the metaL A continuous layer is soon
formed over the body, and the metallic
skin may be made of any thickness de
sired, but a coating of one-twenty-fifth
to one-fiftieth of an inch Is sufficient to
resist blows and shocks and still pre
serve the features in every del test de
tail.
