THE COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT, BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA. . The Trooper's ilcrsc a MTru: BTonv ok tub wau vassino TUB l'ICKKT (lUAItl). "Oft with tlio saddlo nml shoot Mm I" It v,'M a. cnvnlry scout of a scoro of men returning to camp nflcr a rough rirto of a hundred miles. Ten miles away a trooper's horso liiul fallen lamo Voleo nml spur had urged hhn on, but ut last he could go no further, lie mint bo nbnmloticd. Aye, to pre vuut profit to tlio enemy ho must bo shot. "Poor Jim 1'' whispered the- rider as ho dismounted. That horso had oarricd hhn a thous and mile. Thoy had gono hungry to gether, thoy had" shared tho dangers of half a dozen battles, thoy had stood picket in company, tiioy wcro "panls. "Jim, old boy. I'd rather loso my arm P exclaimed tho trooper, as ho loosened tho saddle. The BiiffcNtig horso rcHovcd of his burdens, turned his head to hisjmastcr and uttered h'n gratitude, in a low whinny. "l'vo got to do it, old boy P contin ued tho trooper, as ho drew his revolver and held it in his right hand, wliilo hu patted tlio neck of his old "pard" with tho left. "If they had asked mo to tako a bullet in tho leg if a good, square sabro cut from a Johnny would savo your life, I'd bend my bare head and tako it.'' Tho last of tlio troop had passed on. Night was shutting down, nnd guer rillas lurked in every bend of tho road. "Jim, old pard, it's orders, you know," said tlio trooper, as ho stripped off tho bridle. "Look down tho road, now, whilo I send a bullet into your head. It's assassination it's foul murder but it's orders. Goood bye, Jim. and may tho Lord forgivo mol' Too horso fell liko a log at tho re port of tho pistol, and without daring to look back at his victim tho trooper snatched up tho accoutrements and hurried on after his companions. No was hardly out of sight when tho horso struggled up. What had hap pened? Ho shook his head, wheeled about in a circle, and blow a noto of alarm from his bleeding nostrils. Ho was abandoned 1 Ho was in tho enemy's country 1 Who had dono this by a faithful servant? By and by memory divinely returned. Ho hod fallen lamo his rider had dismounted ho remembered of hearing kind words and feeling a hand caress his neck. What then? Ho had been shot down I Soma hidden guerrilla must have fired tho shot. His rider his old "pard" would not havo sought lus death. With eyes aflame with fear and pain with, a limb almost useless with such torturo racking his head that ho could not repress his groans tho faithful horso searched the roadside for his master; if dead, ho would dio with him I Too search was vain. As ho had been abandoned 1 He had been over this road several times. Ho remembered every bridge and hill and turn. It was miles to tho Union lines, but ho would drag himself to tlio pickets oclorc death came. With slow rtnd painful Btcps with tho darkness rendering Ins road moro gloomy Willi a foreboding that the hand which had fed him so lone had given him his death wound at last, tho poor beast dragged himself along, and tho night wore on. "Halt ! Who comes thero ?" It was tho challengo of a picket. His quick car had detected the sound of feet on tho highway. Hero at last ! This was tho goal tho beast had driven for. JIo stood stock still as tho challenge reached his ear but only for a moment. Then, summoning his last remaining life, he rushed down the hill and fell at the picket. "Haiti Haiti Turn out tho guard 1" It was too lato to stop tho riderless, limping horso outside tho lines, but as ho passed within them half a dozen carbines flashed forth in tho darkness, ' and ho fell forward and died without a croan. Tho men of tho picket natlicr od around. They understood that it was an abandoned horse, winch had di-acrced himself into tho lines. "Too bad, isn't it ?" whispered tho enm old sergeant. And every man felt that he was almost guilty of murd or. N. Y. Sun. - Eiot in St. Louis- Tho stiiko of Iho street car men led to a riot about 0 o'clock last Thursday evening. Many heads wcro broken and ono man was fatally injured. Tlio row was begun by a crowd of strikers, who hail gathered in the neighbor hood of Seventh and Pino streets. A car on tho Union Depot line, filled with pa9sciigeis, got stuck on an up giado with ten cars behind it. A great crowd of tho idlo men at ouco gathered about tho car, nnd urged the driver, rat bullivan, yto (abandon his post. Ho paid no atttention to them, but mado desperate efforts to move his mules along. Tho strikers began shouting : "Throw him off.'1 Tho suggestion was acted upon. Two men jumped on tho platform and throw Sullivan off beforo tho wheels, and ho was run over. At tho samo timo other strikers seized tlio mules, whUo others cut tho traces, and tho animals were sent off on a gallop. ISv this timo the passengers had got out of tho car, and tho strikers gave it a running start and Kent it living down tho grade. They had chosen their timo when thero wcro only two policemen nbout, and thoy had things all their own way In ten minutes httccn cars had 'jecn seized, tlio mules detached and driven off, and tho cars set whirling down the hill, each to telescopo with tho ono sent beforo, until thti wliolo fifteen wcro pilled up in a heap of ruins. Tho alarm lor tho police had been sound ed' and was responded to by a squad of bluo coats, under command of Ser geant Kynn, Superintendent James Dcuuin oi.utu car nuu ruuu up, Bingieu out tho ringleader, and in a jiffy seiz ed him. Ono of tho strikers struck Mr. Sciilliu in tlio faco and Sergeant Kyaii grabbed the lellow. 1 hen tho light began general. J ho mob set upon the Sergeant with tho intention of releasing tho lirisioncr, but ho hoi fast; nnd shouted to his men to clear tho streets, Tho police then went fo tho crowd and clubbed them right and loll. Tlio stnkeis wcro full of pluck, and fought gallantly to rescuo thel companions who wero in tho cliithc of tho police. This lasted fully twenty minutes. Tho polioo depended solely on their muscle and their clubs. Tho result at tho end of tho fight was that seventeen strikers wero landed behliu; tho bars, flvo wcro taken to tho hospl tal with cracked skulls, wliilo probably fifty wcro sent homo with soro heads.

ITS llttsburg Letter In Sewing Maclilno Times. Aa historicfil facts nro growing moro interesting each year concerning tlio lirimo movers of tlio crcat Bowlnc ma chine industry, I wish to givo you what x Know about tlio king ot tlio sowing mnohlno business, I. M. Singer. It is said that Ettas llowo nover mailo a machine that would row perfectly, but that Mr. Singer did. All authori ties givo Howo credit for tho invon tlon, and tho country blacksmith did well toward that end, no doubt) but he got his idea fiom n defective machino mado by 'Walter Hunt, of Now York, in 1832. Hunt invented tho paper collar nlso. llo demonstrated tho fact that n machine could tako a stitch, but ho could go no farther, and Howo pat ented tho model and got an offer from a Loudon firm of comet makers, who gave him two years in which to perfect Ii'h machino and adatl it to their busl ncsn. They fitted up a machino shop nnd paid him for his time, but it wns a tnlltirc, nnd ho returned to America diconsolato. Tho problem was solved thus: About forty years aro a man named Kogun owned a wood o.irving establish ment on Fifth Avenue, this city (Pitts burg). Among his workmen was I. M. Singer, who was an export in mak ing wooden letters for signs. Many of theso old letters aro still to bo found in tho rubbish of Pittsburg gar. rets. Mr. Sinccr in thoso days was 'hard up" in tho fullest sense of that term, and was somewhat of a lioliem- in habits and lasto. Ho left this iky and tramped to Now York, whero ho obtained work in a similar establish ment, his now employer being engaged perfecting a machine for sawing out letters a soit of scroll saws at any ralo Mr. Singer helped him to com plcto it. Tlio inventor went to Mr. Clark, a noted lawyer on patents, in order to gi-t his scroll saw patented. iio tooK jur. Sanger along to better ex plain to tho lawyer tho working speci fications aud plans of the scroll Baw invention. Whilst thero Mr. Olark snoku inci dentally of tho failure of Elias Howo to perfect, his sewinir mnchino in Lon don. Singer listened attentively, and. t is said, asked many questions con cerning tho difficulty. "ISy tieorge, exclaimed binijer, "1 can tnako that thing work." "Ultra is a tortuuo tor you if you do," said Mr. Clark. "I can do it. 1 havo the idea now, enthusiastically eoutinucd Singer. then it is recoided how lie looked lown at his shout, A'itli tho soles loose and his clothes in tatters and ra"4. Ho wilted (so to speak) and exclaimed: "I am talking wild; I haven't money enough to buy a screw." '1 will tell you what I will do. said Clark. "I will tit you up a shop in tho loft of my stable, furnish you wi.h everything you need to work with and live upon, and givo you two months to makuit go. If you are suc cessful I will get all necessary patents, and tako halt ot my investment. "It s a go, said Singer. Inside oi a month he had his ma chino working, using tho eye-pointed needle and shuttle invented by Hunt, but with an addition it mado a contin uous stitch. Thero was ono defeel, ion-over. His machine failed to draw up the stitches and left each ono with loop on both sides of tho fabric. Upon this ho worked night and day until tho last day of his timo came. Ho worked at it until noon and thon tarted for his dinner. A thought struck him, and back through tho streets ho started on a run for his shop. Ho sic.ed a little piece of wire, cave it several bends and inserted it in tlio machine. This was the little "spiral" called a "laku up," which to-day is found in otic form or another in every machino. It was a suceoss I I!y tho timo Klias Howe got back from England he found three machines n Ameiica Hint would sew; nil were i.ncd on his patent tho Singer, the Wheeler & Wilson and iho Grovcr & Haker. Ho found that Singer had sold 1000 machines. Ho brought suit and succeeded in getting iudgmcnt for 80,000 royalty on those sold, and fur ther established a royalty ot 20 on each machino sold by any of the three hrnv. After this Howo got a man named Taylor to work on a machine, and he finally succeeded in inventing an en tirely new one, which took Howe's name. About this tunc rumors reached tho other firms that models mado by lliiot and antedating Howes wero in existence, and they seemed ono from Baltimore. 1 hoy held a consultation and sent for Howe, nnd showed him tho model, nnd their proofs that Hunt invented it long beforo his patent was applied for. Howo was broken up badly and made n clean breast of it. llowo left tho ollico and happened to meet his lawyer on the street. To him ho confided tho whole matter. "I w fix that," said tho lawyer, and they started back. "Now, gentlemen," ho said, address ing tho sewing machino proprietors, "you nro simply killing the gooso that lays tho golden egg. You lot this thing get known and icfuso to pay Mr, Howo his royalty and you will hayo to sell your machino at $25 instead of SILT). Inside, of a year there will bo a hundred sowing machines in tho mar ket, all of them using tho patent you now hold. ' Thoy saw tho point. A compromise, was effected, by which Elias Howo continued to get a royalty of 2 on each machino instead of 820. Two dollars also went into a gcnoral til ml to light other companies into sub mission to their control. This was the famous "combination" which mado millioi's upon millions of dollars, and furnished much cause for denunciation on tho part of many will-meaning peo pie. iho llowo machino then was really tho Taylor machine, nnd Singer, who was a Pittsburger, made tho (list machine ihat would sew, llo died worth SI. '(,000,000, to say nothing of tho millions ho squandered. How to Wulk for Eieroise- If walking nlono is adopted ns tho moans to counteract tlio (.'fleet of too much sitting, then euro should no taken that system enters into the walk. A slow, desultory sore of walk is of no earthly line: it simiily tires ono with out any beneficial result. Tho walking should bo brisk, with the head up ami Iho chest thrown forward. Tho breathing should be regular and as freo as tho swing of tho limbs.
