"I was present not long ago," said the Colonel, k,at 11 My friend of English antecedents sat near the center cf a long table. Al most opposite hiiu sat a stoutly-built man who would have been haQdsome but for the fact his eyes were sightless. This blind man received little attention, except from the men who sat on either side of him, both of whom were Irish men and strangers to the majority of the guests. When the toast was read, speaking in such enthusiastic terms of ths Irish soldiers of the war, their faces flushed, and they sat erect, looking straight across at the man who was to respond. "Mf lirst surprise was in the manner of the speaker. J. knew liim to be one of the coolest and most excitable of men, but a3 he rose to his feet I saw that ne was controlled by strong emo tion, He stood for a minute lookiug down the Hue at the table, as if study ing the thoughts of every man present. Then he be^an in a quiet tone saying that when this toast was assigned to him he was puzzled to know why be should be selected aboye all others to sneak of Irish courage in the Union Army. "lie had said as much to his wife, but as he said it, there came to his mind an incident of his army life that made the whole matter clear to him. Then he proceeded to relate the story of his ex perience at the turning point of one of the fiercest battles of the wrtr. In the midst of a hand to-hand contest, where everything depended on every man do ing his best he received a blow that sent him headlong to the ground. When he regained consciousaess he realized that a terrific struggle was be ing fought to the death above him. kCThe officer \--V\ -. a banquet where an old army officer of English antecedents was on the programme to speak to the senti ment, 'The Irish in the £Jnion Army courageous and loyal Americans, they were as true as the truest, as brave as the bravest.' This puzzled me greatly. Why should an American of English descent be called upon to compliment the Irish-Americans. I did not under stand tha situation until mv friend, one of the hard fighters of the war, arose to speak. His speech was simply a little story, and yet it stirred me as few speeches ever did. objects to catch the eye were two sturdy legs in blue—the legs o" some one standing astride of him. The owner of the legs seemed to De bending this way and that to shield the prostrate from blows that were falling on his own devoted head, A. he fight was over the flag, which was torn into frag ments as the men struck and cut each other in the fury of their wild excite ment, but, happen what might, the one man standing astride the captain never moved his feet, The captain did not know who this stout defender was until in answer to a demand to surrender, there came in Irish brogue, i4lo wid you!"' He realized then that Fat McBride was fighting against odds for the flag and his captain. He realized, too, as blood came drooping down in his face, Fat was sorely wounded. He this when in a few minutes he was dragged out from the heap ot wounded avid saw Fat fall down from loss of blood. They found wadded into Fat's blouse that part of the flag con taining the stars, and Fat only remark, as they strove to 'revive, him was, that knew A HTimorous Postmaster. The following resignation, tendered by Frank W. Mavill, editor of the Mt. Carmel, 111., Register, and postmaster of that place, is one of the wittiest and best we have yet seten. It will be appre ciated by all Democrats who understand the present administration: To Hou. B. Harrison, President, &c SIR—By the grace of God and Grower Cleveland 1 am postmaster at Mt. Gar mel. My official term will expire Jan uary 20, 1890. In addition to editing the mail of this citv, I am also the editor of the Mt. Carmel Register, a live local Democratic newspaper, establish ed in 1886, and published at $1,25 a year cash in advance a discount of 20 per cent to ministers and presidents. "While the office has agreed with me, *4iid 1 have, in IXhe 11 lBe gorra, I sat, ed the stars', alas, that he could never see again. 'This was in brief the story, but it was told by a man who felt every word, was told so dramatically that at its close nearly every man at the table was stand ing on his feet. As the speaker went on to pay his respects to the man who had sived his life, and pictured him as ideal of soldierly courage and loy -1 alty, the blind man opposite stood like one'entranced, and as the speaker closed, he plunged across the table, and reckless of glass and china, and with a howl of exultation threw his arms about hi3 old captain. •'The scene that followed was simply indescribable. The story called out all the noisy demonstrativenessof the Irbh nature. The speaker was overwhelmed with congratulations and 'thanks. Listening to what was said, to other stories that this one called out 1 under stood why an officer of English antece dents had been selected to speak of the courage and spirit of the men of Irish descent in the Union Army."—Chicago Inter Ocean. main, agreed with the office, and while I might reasonably Entertain the hope of holding eight months longer, yet I feel it my dutv to tender you my resignation. "Being a Democrat I have preached that "to the victors belong the spoils'. I feel disposed to practice that which I preach. "Your immediate predecessor hoped to build uo his party bv keeping the opposition in office. You are nrobably aware, if you are at all familiar with the vocabulary of true and trite sayings that his name is now Denni3. I am moved further to render you my resignation because ot' the anxiety of a barn yard full of patriots to succeed me. I believe that tariff is a tax. They do not. Therefore they are of your own kith and kindred, and he who provider not for his house hold is worse than an infidel. I am told that you are not built that way '•But to resume the thread of my dis course: The boys wao are anxious to be my successors are very hungry the have been fed on shucks and icicles for four long weary years the official caif is fat and they are yearning to taste its tender joints. They fought (among themselves) bled at the nose and were willing to die for the o. p. When it was asserted that you were the Chine man's candidate, and ate rattail soup with chop sticks, they swore by Dudley and Foster that it was a campaign canard and threatened to detail blocks of five to fry the fat out. of me. For tunately for me, their threats were never carried into execution, Thev carried torches, drank with coous, s.tug 'Grandpa's hai will just fit Benny,' and did divers and many other foolish things noue of which they would have been guilty of doing had they not scent ed an aroma of post-office on the crisp morning air. And the Deans of praise which they sounded when it became svident that you had gos there, Eli, will ever be a iSahara in mv memory. "For these and other reasons, un necessary to mention, I tender you my resignation, with the hope that my successor will be animated with a simi lar spirit in 1893. If he is, your Demo cratic successor will be spared the painful necessity of turning the rascals out.' I am respectfully yours. Frank W. Havill, P. M. "N. B. I would rather be right than be postmaster." An Undertakers Story. In conversation with a reporter the other day,'an old S.tn Francisco under taker remarked that he would not ex change occupations with any man in the State. Said he: "I tell you there is a singular fa-iciua tiou in ministering to the wants of the dead, in placing over them garlands of flowers, nicely arranging their white faces, and laying their pale bodies in the last casket. Experience has taugh me that familiarity with the dead takes the sting from the grave. My business puts death in a less terrifying light than tne pictures which the imagination draws where the actual is seldom wit nessed. I have put so many in their last homes that I no longer look upon death with the old fear. I agree with the man who said. 'Tired of the heat and glamour of the day, we hear with joy the rustling garments of the night," "1 look upon every new face that comes into my quiet sleeping apartment over there as one more lucky traveller who has reached at last bb mraey's end. Of course I do not like to have my friends suffer, nor do 1 enjoy haviug them die. It makes the world lonely and makes tombstones out of life-long comrades, but when a friend is dead it pleases me very much to give him every attention. I-Ie becomes my guest, anci it pains me if aus of my servants neg lect him or do anything to mar his visit. Tnere is, after all, quite a pleasure know that your best friends do not have to die, that aching hearts are forever at rest in the everlasting sleep. I have had people come here and I felt from the first glance that I would love them for their winning ways. I like modest people with frank countenances, whether in life or death. Some corpses have mean countenances. I would have declined an introduction iu life, and so I do not cultivate their society in death. 3ome seem to stare at m3, while others look like sneaks. A dead man's face is a good photograph of what he was in life, and it has the advantage thaj no trick of an assumed expression can de ceive the eye of the observer. There are lovelv men and women who come here, and when they leave U3 we mi^ them and we feel lonely. It gives me great pleasure to pin a liitle boquet upon their garments, or to adjust their heads upon their pillows. They often need these little attentions, and they seem pie vsed when we are kind to them' Of coarse they never speak, but there is golden eloquence in their silence. Different positions of th jir quiet faces give a language to tnem, and a slight change in attitude makes the contour and whole effect different." Harvest Excursions.
