Bustou 'II IS A FBBBMAN WHOM TBI TBTJTH MAXES FBHK, AND ALL ABK pLATES BB8IDB.' EHENSBUTG, PA.. FIUPAY, DECEMBER 17JSSG. " CRAZY ABEL." Ao Exciting Story of TTere Is one of the stories that a Forty ninor bd'i m lately as he dropped int" reminis. i tiecs of his pri-.oiierdays. Ald Anderson wa- a New Yorker, whose h.mie until he was '21 rr more was up in the Catskills. where his father tilled a stumpy farm between liio tiiues v. hen he gunned and trapped through the Clst.-r Mountains. Abel a vory likely voting fellow, as the mountaineers expressed it grew tired of his h'uno and its rather wiUl routine before ho got very old. He dr ppod down to this town earlv in X47. saw something of a world that he had wildly dreamed of a long time, and when Stevenson's brave regiment sailed that year to hold the Mexicans in check, one of the men before the mast on onoof the vessels that carried the soldiers was Abel Anderson. A fever got Its frraP upon him before the Pacific, slope was in sight, and the brawny young man lay sick nnd nigh unto death for months. He rose finally from the sick couch a mentally ruined man. und though ho seemed still ! have capacity sufficient to do certain tamp duties, 'Crazy Abel'' was a lille that nobody ever regarded as in anywise unjust Amiable, devoted to every man In a uniform, capable of doing hard work, and ready to do it. too, the poor fellow became one of tho camp features. Once in a passion a camp hanger-on not one of the regular regiment (lew at Abel and badly beat him. No com plaint came from tho sufferer ; not even did he presume to defend him self. A dumb beast could not have been mor.' s'Tvlln Nobody doubtud that ail manliness and courage had deputed , but chivalry was hot larking out in that far wilderness, and tho brute who struck the defenseless ward of the regi ment learned quickly t" his eoiio-.v that meanness there brought sharp penalties In the stillness of the night he learned a good deal about tho virtues of a leather strap well laid upon a bare back. He was onoof the earliest ;id i;nt liters wli'. had dared to enter the El Dorado territory A man bravo, but coarso in his mind, it was nut unnatural that he should swear vcnge.-.nio, nor unnatural either that he should hasten to try to put his vows Into e'eution. Crazy Abel had the care of n.n olTie.-r's quarters He slept them like a wuteli dog. always alert and wati h!iil, and this fliccr had been one of those who hid inllnted the mtdnlglit punishment on Abel'.-, assailant, and the assailant, know ing It, had marked the oflieer fur v. i. t nneo. Hut the malevolent leil .w disap peared suddenly and was forg.'lion 1 he spring of ls4s en mo fiold iliseovere.l over nt Sutter's ( H nw mill. F.veryb.iil v on the w hole eoa.-t wasw . il'ilV excited Wealth in pih - tempf;d St-v.-n-fun's regiment to ijuit their n-rvii'i- in the army with it-, pitiful J-'l cents a day for pay and enter on the aet utuulai ion of fortunes that waited only lor appro priation The temptation was not strong onou jl. ; loyalty had too linn a hold on those dewte.l fellows, who had already ?a.-ri-liee. too much and endured too much to permit them, remembering honor, to tarnish the spotles- record oT their patriotism by sellishncsn or wavering now. It became necessary cno day soon after the gold dleovery for Oi'i.eral Steven son to send a dispatch ;otoss the country to a def-iohod part of his command, and l hoo!':ieer w horn ( 'r iy Ab.1 a; t ended was eii'isen for the mission. It v ,.s not i o;:i i io 1 a i!snvrnii undertaking, and tho soldier with his ward set out alone. Put they did n t go fur liirouuh tho wild country be fore they found themselves in ninbibh. That man with his pent-up longing for revenge, suppoited by ravage aliies, ma le the two men frcrtu camp fast prisoners. Tho eyes of the captor sparkled with an unholy d"l!ght, and his throats of torture were such as only devils could conceive. Upon a cliff, whose precipitous shies seemed to reach down to the very black ness of the earth's center, there he went on with his glee over the disarmed men in his presence. It isn't a cheer ful recollection, the story of what officer and man endured there, till finally the Inst scene in the terrible experience came. Crazy Abel, hel l by one of the Indians, seemed recardless of what went on. His chronic smile did not leave his countenance; he seemed quite as con tent as though at the camp mess table. Over against a tree the soldier finally was placed, and while the savages danced demoniacally the vengeful white skin, n savage as they, brought his riflo to his shoulder, and holding it pointed at the breast of his prisoner, sneeringly mocked the soldier in his helplessness On the line of the cliff clone by Its edge stood the master and the victim. What joy he pot out of his power! what jubilation the murderous scene pave those red men! Their mad manner grew, and prew. and prew, till suddenly it ended. He w ho had held Crazy Abel loosened his grip for a moment to add a louder note to the death feast. That moment that savage was doomed. Over the cliff he tumbled headlong to perdition, ar.d with a ru-h that seemed like the very flash of a sur.stroak through the air Crazy Abel was upon the body of that man who but one moment ago had terrible vengeance w-ithlo his very reach. It was ;l vain effort that he made to withstand the assault. He toppled and ho foil. Crazy Abel's arms wore about him. Cla-ped together the two went down the precipice together He who had been looked upon as wholly lacking courage had proved his bravery in a way that could not have 1 eon in any wise more heroic. For the luiin whom ho loved, for him who had given him kindness and protection, he had been willing to die had cast hlm seif to death and brought to his guardian delivorance and safety N. Y. Times. Conversation avt Table. A cheerful temper charms the stomach. Pleasant, social companions will help us to digest what might otherwise prove unmanageable. An Englishman, without observing the laws of exorcise or sleep, will digivst nn enormous dinner, and preserve his stomach because of his two hours of hat and good fellowship. Let him eat the same quantity in the rapid restaurant fashion, sitting alone, ami he would soon be a wretched dyspeptic The inlluence of a quiet, social temper upon the stomach is one of the curious facts about digestion. Hlessed are the story-tellers, for they help us digest our dinners. A good story teller, if Ids stories are clean, is :i god fend. His bet services are rendered nt the table.

The other day as I was on my way to Buffalo over the Oreat We-tern. and while occupying a seat in the smokinc car for a few minutes, I fouud a paper parcel kicking around under my feet. it was but natural that I should pick it up and make an examination, espec ially as the ot.ly man In the car satat the far end. What was my horror, when I came to unroll the paper, to find a package of greenbacks marked $5,0o0 staring me In the face '.

I w as wondering if it wouldn't be best b put 2im in niy pocket and throw Sf.siKi out of the window, when a third man mad" his appearance in the car. He spoke to the man at the end and '.hen eatne sauntering up to me and care lessly inquired : Ilav.-n't found a pnper parcel con tainlri.'

THE THIRTEEN SUPERSTITION. ' Its Strength and Prevalence, nnd Some At tempt to Care Jt. M. Leselido. who bns lately published a volume f Propos de Table of the ;;roat French pot-d, was for many years the daily companion of llie author of " Lcs Chat iiiieut s." and he tells tis. among many other things, that Victor Hug.) con fessed to the possession of only one supers! il ion. Nothing could induce him to form one of thirl eon at table. Whenever a t hil l oon1 h arrived nt the last moment if was M. Leselide's business to pick up Ids hnt and depart. The viutlii v of this hoary superstition, which no doubt originally grew out of the story of thela-t supper and of th tragic events which no quickly followed it , is rcm.-ti kable. Anv one w !io takes the trouble to refer to theaeeepted tables may see for him self what is really the expectation of human life. It will be found that, in order to obtain a mat hemat ieal probability that ono out of a given t !iirti n healthy persons will expire during the following twelve months, the average age of the thirteen must, in default of the presence of one or two on the verge of centenarianistu, be very great indeed. It must, in fact, be eighty-eight years, and it is searcelv lteeiss;iry In say that, in practiee. the mated years of a festive party of thirteen never amount to the requisite 11 H. Xhe nnnuitl rate of mortality among males and females of all ages is only one in forty-one, and forty-one, therefore, instead of thirteen, should be held to l t he unlucky number. This das been demonstrated over and over again ; yet the number thirteen still remains ominous to thousands of excel lent people in all cln.sos tf lifo. In Paris there are streets in which twelve bis does duty instead of thirteen, and 1he householders who thus ingeni ously sought to circumvent, fate would not for 1 he wor ld let t he proper number be painted upon t heir diors. Some years ago Prince Najioloon tried to laugh his countrymen out of the su perstition, but his efforts did not benelit his cause, for, with characteristic perver sity, ho used to invite twelve friends to carouse w it h him on iood Friday, wlier.s by he gravely scandalized ri.;iit-b . ;itig people, whatever their theological views. In America similar but less aggressive attempts hav- been made to correct popular error, and numerous thirteen eluhs have l'en established the members pledging t h.-mselves to dine thirteen at table on every opxrl unity. In France, too, there is a thirtien club, the headquarters of which are lit Senlis'; and in England there is a little cot'Tie of thirteen men who dine together monthly at a house nu inhered thirteen and pay 13s. eaeh for their dinner, and bid. each to th waiter. Yet ftill the superstition is as lively as of yore, all over Europe anil America, and probably it will continue to flourish and to make people uncomfortable until tho end of time. A State In iwmauit.

Spaniards will not allow that Le S.iije really wrote Oil Plas, but declare he only translated the work of some unknown Spaniard; they say no foreigner could have hit off so well the national char acteristics.
