RENOVATE YOUR
FEATHERS!
T EE undersigned offers to the citizens of Get
tysburg and vicinity a rare chance to avail
themselves of the unparalled benefits of this un
rivalled
Feather Dressing and Renovating Machine,
The most successful patent of the kind ever offer
ed to the public. And we venture the prediction
that It never,will be excelled, for it proves to be
exactly what all conditions and qualities of Feath
ers, from entirely new to old and much worn.
need to render them as perfect aa age, quality and
condition will admit of their being made.
The Cleansing is Done Entirely by Steam.
No fire coming near the Feathers, consequently
no possibility of burning, scorching, or otherwise
luring them. By this process all moths are de
stroyed and removed, the Feathers cleansed, the
fibres relieved from their matted position, giving
a bed an astonishing inrctase in bulk. often more
than one-half also refnoving all disagreeable
scent which Is so common to new as well as old
Feathers- In fact giving the appearance and es
sential qualities of New Feathers, and reliev
ing them from all liability to moths by the remov
al of all gummy or glutinous matter front the
quill. Our facilities are such, that by short no
tice, we can take and return beds the same day,
well dressed and ready for immediate use.
We warrant entire satisfaction or make no
charge. All persons, especially ladies, are invited
to call and see the machine in operation, at Fax
ton's store room, on Baltimore street, and judge
for themselves.

At length he said: "What is the use or need
To keep at.my own erzst this lazy steed,
Eating his head off in lay stables here,
When rents tike . lotv add provender Is dear!
Let him go teed upon the public ways:
I want hint only for the holidays."
So the old steed was turned into the heat
Of the long, lonely, silent, shadow street :
And wandered In subMban lanes forlorn,
Barked at by dogs, awl torn by brier and thorn
Oue afternoon, as in that sultry clime
It is the custom in the Summer-time,
With bolted doom, and window - shutters closed,
The inhabitants of Atrt slept or dozed :
When suddenly upon their senses tell
The loud alarm of the accusing bell!
The Syndic started front his sweet repose,
Turned on his couch and listened, and then rose
And donne{ his robes, and with reluctant pace,
Went panting forth hito the market-place,
Where the great bell utbini Its cross-beam swung.
Reiterating with persistent tongue.
In hall-articulate Jargon, the old song:
- Some one bath' done a wrong, bath done a
wrong!"
But ere he reached the belfry's light arcade
He saw. or thought he saw , beneath its shad
No shape of human lona, of woman born.:
But a poor steed, dejected and forlorn.
Who, witli uplifted head and eager eye.
Was tugging at the cities of briony.
"Donnueneddiur cried the Syndic straight,
"This is the Knight of Aft I's steed of slate!
Be calls for Justice, being sore distressed.
And pleads his cause as loudly as the best."
.Moanwhile from street and Lane a noisy crowd
Had rolled together, like a Swimmer cloud,
Anil told the story of the Wretched beast
In tire-and-twenty different ways at leasj v
With much gesticulation and appeal
To heathen gods, in their excessive zeal.
The Knight was called and questioned: In reply
Did not confess the fact, did not deny
Treated the matter as a pleasant /eat,
And set at naught the kindle and the
m an angry undertone,
That he should do what pleased him with hls own
And thereupon the Syndic bravely read
The proclamation of the King; then said:
- Pride goeth forth on horseback grand and gay
But eometh back on foot, and begs Its way;
Fame LI the perfume of heroic deeds,
Of flowers of chivalry and not of weeds!
These are fatuiliar proverbi; but I fear
They never yet have reached your knightly ear.
What fair rellow 11, what hiMor, what repute
Can come to you from starving this poor brute?
Re who serves well and speaks not merits more
Than they Who clamor loudest at the door.
Therefore the law decrees, that as this steed
Served you in youth, henceforth you shall take
heed
To comfort his old age, and to provide
Shelter in stall. and food amt Reid beside."
The Knight withdrew abashed the people all
Led lunne the steed in triumph to his stall,
The King heard and approied, and laughed in
glee,
And cried aloud: -Right pleaseth me!
Church-bells at best but ring us to the door:
But go not in to mass: my bell doth more:
It
Cometh Into court and pleads the cause
Of creatures dumb and unknown to the laws;
And this shall make, in every Christian clime
The Bell of Atri famous for ail time."
Little Tip was a tumbler; not a glass
tumbler, though lie might perhaps be
truly called an earthen one. His peculiar
vocation was to make a Wheel of himself,
by which lie annoyed, unprotected women
andchildren. He would tumble over and
over he entire length of the street, bob
bing his head and holding out his hand for 1
pennies between every somersault.
Poor Tip! he got more kicks and bruises
than pennies. Not that the ladies --gentle
hearts—ever repulsed him with rudeness;
but the policemen did.
To them, poor little 'ripe; With his shock
of untidy hair, his teterful eyes, and active
legs, was simply a nuisande, and must be

of flesh and blood, I don't suppose such
an idea ever came into their heads. It

Hung like a votive garland at a famine.

• "Who do you give your money to, my
boy?"
"I gives it to my mother," he replied,
looking down, while his child's face
burned.
"And do you never spend it?"
Ile shot* his head.
"Would you like a new suit of clothes,
and do you think your mother would let
you go to school ?"
dunno," he answered, looking down
and casting furtive glances about the
room
"Well, Tip, if you will wash your face
nicely," I said, "I will give you a good
breakflud."
IHis eyes brightened as he looked up. I
led him to the bath-room, gave him plenty
of soap and water, and when the child
came out I should not have known him.
"He's a regular beauty," spoke, Katy,
stealthily, as she set out some breakfast
for him on the kitchen table.
After he had eaten all he wanted, I put
on my bonnet and water-proof, as the day
looked threatening, and told the boy to
lead me to his home. We were soon there,
in the very heart of a crowded misshapen
court, in the very top room of a horribly
vile tenement-house. There I found the
woman he called his mother.
She was old and haggard. When we
went in, she was on her knees trying to
blow a few damp chips into a flame. Some
stale bread lay in slices on the broken
hearth, in the midst of scattered ashes. I
supposed she intended to toast it. The
woman herself was not bad looking, but
her dress was odiously foul with dirt.
There were only a broken chair, a pan of
coals, and a heap of rags in the room. No
table, no beds; nothing of comforts. Even
the windows were stuffed with paper to
keep the pure air out.
"I have brought home your boy," I sai
cheerfully, as the woman arose.
"I'm sorry I haven't a cheer for ye.
she said, politely; "and, as for Tip,
he ain't my boy, you know, of course
"But you take care of him."
"Laws, no, Miss, he takes care on his
self, and helps me a little, by tumbling."
"Are his parents living, then, and whose
child is he ?"
"You asks me more nor I can! answer.
was the reply, as she wiped her hands on
heragged gown. "Old Toni Green, him
that was a tinker, had him a icouple o'
year; and they do say herealxmts as how
Tip wag stole."
"Then you don't know as Tip is his
ame?"
.Bless ye, miss, no, intleedi That's
what we calls him hereabouts:, He's a
good child as yotnig ones go: but I reckon.
if you asks Granny Loot, who lives in the
basement, she'll tell you somethin' about
him. Tip, take the lady down to Granny.
Loot. You'll hey to holler some!"
The boy went obediently down-stairs;
and, slipping a piece of money into the
woman's hand, I followed him.
The way was fearfully dark and fright
fully dirty; but the basement into which I
was conducted was clean and almost corn
fortable. In one corner, on a low bed,
crouched a strange, shrunken old figure,
as like to a mummy as an
• ythiry ; alive
posaim i be. At, the one window sat
a tidy-looking, girl busily sewing.
"I have come," I said, addressing the
girl, who looked up with a startled face,
"to find out something about this boy."
-0, Granny remembers when he came
here. Don't you, Granny ?" she shrieked
in the old creature's ear. "It's about
Tip. The woman wants to know. Old
Heeps brought him here,_ didn't he ?"
"Yes," muttered the old woman, with
many nods, her bright eyes fixed on my
face. "Beeps, he did. Stole 'em, he did.
I always knowed it. Who is she His
manuny ?"
I shook my head.
"Beeps is dead now. Ile was a wicked
man,;" pursued the old woman;, "and he
stole that child. I remember he wasn't
much more'n a baby then, and there was
aziaccident out on the L. road—a dreadful
smash-up. When Heeps brought that boy
home, he had on pretty clothes, and toretty
trinkets, hey, did he; and, if Heeps hadn't
had us all under his little finger, there'd a
' been trouble, there would. But Heeps is
dead now, and I'm glad of it, I am; he
did a sight o' dirty work, did Heeps."
My heart beat high. Providence was
doubtless leading me to right the wrongs
of this helpless child.
"I suppose Heeps christened him, Tip
Toodles," I said.
"Ye; Miss; that's what he alleys gilled
him, and that's whit he's been going by
ever sense. Heeps learned him to tumble,
and I'll say for him that he sot a sight by
the boy; and when Recipe died, why the
the
.woman up-stairs took him, and he makes
all the money she Bits. She's a good
hearted critter, is Mattie, barring . she
loves the drink."
I learned what I could from this old
woman (who , assured me that she was
ninety-eight).about the accident; and, tell
ing Tip to call at my house on the follow
ing day, I returned home, full of specula
tion. Suppose, and-suppose, and utmost"
—my dreams and my waking hours were
full of supposing. I took the boy borne
with me at last, dressed him in neat new
clothes, and sent him to school.
Ar 'one year he had "been with hie,
proving himself promising and capable in
more ways than one. He was, of: course,

"Crin we see him?" asked Mr. Corbet.
I went out into the 'Small sitting-room,
wherre little. Tip sat, busily engaged in
making bolo for a magnificent kite which
I had that morning bought for him. For
one moment . I paused, sorrowfully, to look
at the picture—the boy, with his flushed
cheeks, sparkling seyes, pretty curling
locks, and round, white throAt.
"Darling," said I softly.
Ire looked up with a bright smile.
"See what a lot of them!" he exclaimed,
tossing the paper bobs up,
through.''
"Come with me, deari" I said; "some
body wants to see you."
He sprang to his feet, and at that mo
ment I knew the boy was no longer mine
to lore and to cherish. The likeness to
the beautiful woman in the parlor was
striking. I had noticed it from the first.
I smoothed his hair a little and led him
in. In another moment, with strong emo
tion, the gentleman said, "That is Helen's
boy."
And as I saw them crying over him and
embracing him, the child startled and
wondering, I felt both glad and sorry.
So I lost little Tip Toodles; but perhaps
it is his gain. My boy comes often to see
me, and sometimes I go to pay him a short
visit in one of the -finest avenues in New
York. My boy lives in splendor; but he
does not forget his friends --lie never will.
As for Matti°, who shared her wretched
room with him• so long, you would not
know the woman. She has a tiny home of
her own in a pleasant country place, and
sells milk and butter and eggs. She tells
me she is making money. Mr. Corbet gave
her the little home, with its pretty garden;
and Tip (his real name is Frank Corbet)
never forgets to make her fine presents on
the holidays.

HIGH ART rs LYnco.—A gentleman of
transatlantic "raising" bad mentin:.ed the
(exceedingly) fact that he had seen as
many as fifty snakes up a tree at ow time.
A stupid Britisher having ventured to
evince a very decided increduality, ‘rWa.,l,

forty." "Forty! but that is as wonderful
as fifty," exclaimed the other. "Waal,
stranger," was the rejoinder "you seem
tarnation hard to please, we'll say twen

afore I take off another snake." But
even this, as "a clincher," must yield to
the following: A Yankee, possibly the
same man, having told an Englishman
that he shot, on one particular occasion,
nine hundred and ninety-nine snipe, his
interlocutor asked him why he did't make
it a thousand at once? "No," said he,
"not likely I'm going to tell a lie for one
snipe." Whereupon the Englishman,
rather "riled." and determined not to be
outdone, began to tell a long story of a
man having swum from Liverpool to Bos

DESPERATE FICIICT WIT/I A RATTLE.
SNAXE.—Another frightful encounter
with a rattlesnake comes from Missouri,
the account of which is as follows:
"During the late harvest a farmer in the
northeastern portion of Osage county,
while cutting wheat in his field, heard the
sing of a rattlesnake. Before he could de
termine the precise locality of the 'rattling'
the snake made at him, leaping over the
scythe and cradle, but missed the man,
who now in turn attacked the snake with
his cradle. The snake was ready for the
charge, and again leaping over the cradle.
inflicted a severe wound on the front part
of the right leg of his antagonist, who
now retreating endeavored to defend him
self against the repeated attacks of the
reptile. The snake made no less than ten
different lunges at the gentleman, while
retreating, who at the same time called
loudly for his dog.
"The faithful animal finally arrived,
finding his owner nearly exhausted with
heat and pain, and at once attacked the
snake. The faiiner, fully realizing the
great and imminent danger of his wound,
now made his way home—a quarter of a
mile—as best he could. On reaching
there he at once applied a thick ligature
hcarily ovakcal totracvo juitz and anal,
and whilst awaiting medical aid drank
two quarts of pure peach brandy, scarely
feeling any effect therefrom in his excited
and exhausted condition.
"He at once despatched assistance to
the scene of the conflict to rescue his dog,
which on arriving there found the snake
coiled around his faithful annual, the' dog
dead and his venomous companion in a
dying condition. The wheat for a consid
erable space around was torn down, bear
ing evidence of the fierce, deadly contest
which had then but recently. occurred .
The dog received au honorable binial, while
the snake was subjected to an anatomical
inspection, which revealed a nearly ful
grown rabbit.
"The tail of the reptile bore seven rattles
anti one 'button.' Our informant, inadver
tently, we presume, omitted any mention
in his notes of the length and general size
of the deadly foe with which the farmer,
and finally his faithful dog, had theidread
ful encounter. That it was of rather un
usual size would seem most probable.
"The gentleman was confined to his
room about two weeks, but is now able to
attend to his business as usual."
A QuEsTrox SETTLE' D.--Old Joe B
was a quiet old - man, burfeettfewtat too
fond of the bottle. Whey in his cups, his
ideas tended toward theological matters,
which he always avoided in his sober mo

wanted some wood for the oven.

"Joe, I wish you would go out and spli
some wood. Here it is nparly - two o'clock
and the fire isn't made."
Joe went Out to execute his commission,
but fearing his physical condition was
weak, marched to tho neighboring tavern
to fortify himself therein. He returned
home utterly obivions to all things, save
his pet theories. Seating himself on the
chair, he - -

the question. Still an ominous silence.
"Wife do you think the Lord means—to

"No!" said the thoroughly aroused wife;
"no, you old fool, not if he waitsfor you to

TUE 31/TRAILLEUIL—The utitrailleur,
which is as yet untried in practical war
fare, is considered by the French as the
most destructive military weapon known.
'Recently, 300 wittehecl horses, already
condemned to the poleaxe, were purchased
at the rate of four or live francs each, and
ranged at a considerable distance. Two
mitrailleurs were brought to play on them,
and in three minutes after two discharges
not one of. the animals remained standing.
Ou a second occasion, 560 horses were
brought down at a single trial. This for
midable weapon is constructed as follows:
It is a light 37-barrelled gun, arranged
that its barrels may be discharged simul
taneously, or consecutively. The 37 cart
ridges intended for ono charge are eon
' tallied in a small box. A steel plate with
corresponding holes is placed on the open
box, which is then reversed and the cart
ridges fall points foremost ipto their re
spective holes. They are prevented from
falling through by the rims at their bases.
The loaded plate is then introduced into
the breech-slot, and when the breech is
closed by a lever a number of steel pins,
pressed by spiral springs, are only prevent
ed from striking the percussion arrange_
ment in the cartridges by a plate in front
of them. When this case is moved slowly
by a handle, the cartridges are tired cue by
one. If the plate be withdrawn rapidly
they follow each other so qukkly that
their discharge is all but simultaneous.—
The invention ifetris.Very Well adapted for
use in forts or other permanent places of
defence or offence, but its carriage and
management in the field would present
many and insuperable obstacles to its gen
eral use.
A FORMIDABLE VEssEL.—Wlidle most
of our people are sympathizing with Prus
sia in her present struggle against France,
it is curious to note that one of the most
formidable vesseLs in the navy of Louis
Napoleon was devised and built in this
country by Americans fur the use of our
government but rejected. At the close of
the War it was completed fur tho French
Government. We allude to the immense
iron-plated rain Ilvelumbevi, more fami
liar to our readers as the Dui/der/mil/.
This marine monster is 378 feet long, 73
feet Leam and 30 feet deep, carrying an

blow equal to a cannon ball of 1,000
pounds weight, hurled with a propulsive
force of 1600 feet a second. This mighty
craft crossed the Atlantic from New York
to Cherbourg in fourteen days,frthpieutly
steaming at the rate of fifteen knots au
hour.
A FAMLLY .Fnun.—Some how
long we cannot say, a fend broke ont be

regular vendetta, and already ten 'persons
have been killed. The last victim•was an
oldman, Col. Dickens, who, while on his
way home, near Memphis, was shot alai

The Colonel had killed a Bolton last fill
in Memphis. Of course, as he was one of
the chivalry, nothing was donate h im, and
now another of the same class

times for three or four days, on his s •
and from Washington. He usually e,n
pioyed his time in fishing from the stern
guards of a whartboat. On one occasion
of this kind he had a set-to with a Cairo
youth, which will bear telling about.
The youth, like himself,. was fislting.,--
Houston on the wharf boat, and the boy
on a wood boat moored just'below. At
the interesting juneture of a bite at the
boy's bait, Houston nom out his line,
which became hopelessly entangled with
that of the bOy. There was a pause.—
Neither seemed to have a wool fit for thy•
occasion. At fast Houston broke the
silence.
“Sonny, go elsewhere and fish, and then
we'll avoid entangling alliances.”
"You blasted Old short coat," retorted
the bud of promise, "go elsewhere
..lotirself
and fish."
"I apirchend that you are a very saucy
boy," returned the Senator, "for whom
there are by no means enough rods, in
pickle."
"Now look here old Skeezieks," cried
the boy fully agitated, "I don't, want to
quarrel with you, nor anybody like you,—

Saying licit, this very amiable young
creature gave a sudden lurch, and pulled
the honorable gentleman's rod from his
