A Sad Story.
A correspondent of the Boston Traveler,
writing from Vicksburg, met a strange
character wandering over the old battle
fields. The writer tells the story as follows:
We told hint that we were anxious to sea
where the Federal lines were located, as we
were from Massachusetts.
" Oh, yes, from Massachusetts," said ha,
straightening up ; " I have been in Massa -
ch use tts, and was born in Vermont." Then,
after a pause he clenched his hand, and said
sadly, "I wish I was dead now."
" Why so?" said we, feeling a pity for
such a wretched creature as ho appeared
to be.
"If you are going out toward the bayou,
I will show you," said be, leading the way.
We began to think the man insane, and
after following him nearly a mile, we halted
and asked him how far he intended to go.
He stated that we were almost there; and
SO we kept on. He soon turned off from
the main road into an open hold, surrounded
by a growth of young timber; and after
passing the barren spot which appeared to
have been at some time the site of a build
ing, he suddenly stopped, and;poi Ming to a
bunch of rose trees, said, in a low tone:
" There! in that grave lies the reason why
I wish I was dead. She was my wife, sir."
"
how long has she been dead ?" asked
we, as sympathetically as we could.
"Well, seeing you have taken interest
enough in me to come so far, I'll tell you
the whole story," said he, taking out his
knife to trim the rose hush.
ills STORY.
"She WS twenty-nine years old, sir, and
she was a Southern lady, too. I came down
here long before the war, and had a nice bit
of land here. I fell in with this lady at the
city up river, and we were married in 1862.
I kept out of the war as long as I could, be
cause I didn't like fighting anyhow, as 1
was happy at home, and because I felt more
ke fighting, if I fought at all, among my
native Vermonters. I hated the Confeder
acy, end said so, and it got them down on
me. So one day a company of infantry
came along and said they would shoot me
on my own threshold if I didn't enlist at
once in the Confederate army. hived right

couldn't get away from them, and finally,
with a gun at my breast, 1 said I would en
' list, and went otT, leaving my wife crying
at the clear. I can see just how she stood,
with her handkerchief up to her face, this
way, and lett herliwaving like this. But
no use, rhad to enlist with the Missourians,
and so I did, with the mental reservation
that I would run away the first opportunity.
But I didn't get any chance, far they watch
ed mews close as a bloodhound does a nig
ger. Finally, when Ctram's army came
down here, our brigade was sent out to kind
o' hold them in check. I hadn't been home
since I went away, and my wife wrote to
mo trying to cheer me. up.
"The second day we moved up in plain
sight of my house, our% lines being along
Nyhere that fence is yonder. Then the Yan
kees, they came out of the woods over there,
and began firing. I wondered what had
become of my wife, for the bullets from
both sides began to knock the shingles ott
the house. One side there, where you see
the cellar like. Well, that's where she went
to get away from the shot, she and her
waiter girl. All night I stood out there by
that tree, wishing I might go and see my
wife. But she didn't know that I was there
at all.- But I determined to desert to the
Union lines the next night. So I arranged
it to be on picket, and I was sent out there
in the corner of the field. just as it awns
corning dark, I lay down on the ground, so
that the other pickets might not see me,
and crawled along slowly toward the house,
and when I got within a few rods I jumped
and ran for the house.•
" When I came round the corner a picket
discovered what I was at and tired at me,
and the bullet went over my head. I
screamed ` Mary, Mary,' end she knew my
voice, and came right out to meet mite on the
step, and said, 'Oh dear, dear George, let's
hurry away from hero,' and opened her
arms to put them around my neck and kiss
me; but some of the Union pickets think
ing there Was an advance in the direction
of my house, opened tire just then—and—
and—shot my wife through the heart, and
she fell before she had . kissed me or I her.
The bullet that killed her went through my
arm, right there. I took her up and ran for
the Union lines, shouting, I'm a deserter,'
and they finally let mu in, but my wife wa•
dead. The batteries over there, hearing the
muss about the house, began shelling it, and
sot it on lire, and him• the maid got out of
the house I don't see. lint I Callle back
here when the Union lines advanced, amid
'buried hen next day, an Illinois Chaplain
saying the prayers. And that's just why f
wish I was dead. I can't do anything. nor
think of ary.%,dhing but her. Oh, she was
such a good wife."
Here he paused and wiped his oyes with
Ids sleeve, and went on trimming the rose
bush. So sad a tail and so real, being in
the very place where it happened, thought
tears to our eyes in spite of us. We could
not find it in our hearts to disturb him with
'more questions after finding out his mune,
and so left him to pursue our search in the
fields beyond. As we were getting over the
fence at the out-skirts of the plantation, we
looked back and saw him still bending over
the bunch of rose trees.
After traveling in the woods, marking
the bullet aud shell-scarred oaks, we turned
toward 'Vicksburg, crossing one corner of
the field as we went. It ens getting dark
and the stars were appearing, but we could
sec his form leaning over the bush as though
he had not stirred since we left him an
hour before. We paused upon the old rail
fence and said to ourself, "Great God, wilt
thou not heal this broken heart !"

of this class spend five times that amount.
Some of these are single, and some are mar
ried ; but the matrimonial tie is not of much
account with them, and a wire is never al
lowed to stand in the way of other attrac
tions. Indeed, "the better hall" is not much
troubled with her husband's society. The
man about town c;wiist a box at the opera
for• himself, and perhaps two or three fur
female friends of a special character. He
has a splendid turn-out, though his team,
fleet as it may be, is not as fast as himself.
He may own a yacht and have stock in a
race course, without interfering in his gen
eral ehameter for idleness; and indeed he
may have an interest in some business
whose burden is borne by others, while he
shares the profits. Among this class some
tire disposed to include Belmont, the bank
er, who lives in the Firth avenue, and is a
fancy man in many different ways. His
connection with the Rothehilds gives him
an income of one hundred thousand dol
lars, which will enable him to cut quite a
dash. Leonard Jerome, the rich stock
speculator, is also claimed to be one of the
number; but whether he is or not, be
knows how to make the money fly. Ile is
probably spending larger sums than any
man of his years in the city. The wild ex
travagance manifested be some or these
men about town exceeds all belief; and the
sums which they annually expend would
be a fortune to a man of moderate desires.
However, they generally arrive soon at the
end of their purse, and then sink rapidly to
the lowest stage of dissipation, and disap
pear in the general current of misery.
In one of our inland towns has dwelt a man
whose fame is identical with that of the
famous inventor of Indian rubber goods.
-He had arrived at advanced years, and ac
cumulated a fortune. Ilk two sons went to
Now York and commenced business as
stock brokers, and :it the sante time enter
ed the ranks of our "men about. town."
One ,if thorn soon abandoned himself to
splendid dissipation, and it is said that in
three years he spent ninety thousand dol
lars. It is also said that his attendance on
the "Black Crook," and the concomitants
of that most debauching exhibition cost
hint thirty thousand dollars. The result is
the ruin of the concern and all of its l‘est
friends. One young relative who has made
a snug fortune has been forced to sell a
beautiful mans - fon to meet his indorsent cat
01 their paper, while the father and mother
'have abandoned their home, and with their
ruined sons, have gone South, either with
the hope of retrieving their fortunes or
hiding their miseries from the eyes of those
who knew them in their prosperity. A
mere 43 xplorabla _shipwreck ,thaulkisis sel
dom met. Another instance of the mad
prodigality of these In en about town is
found in an offshot of the great Coster tinn
ily. We used to see this follow ,I:t..lling
through Broadway with his splendid team
and scattering money in all the avenues of
dissipation. But the time came when the
writer (then a clerk) had to dun hint the a
bill of fifty cents. Ile run through with
live hundred thousand dollars, and front n
splendid suite of rooms in a Broadway
hotel he went to the street and soon disap
peared. The average life of it man about

there was every indication of an approach

over a portion of the city with terrific vio

In the twinkling of an eye, almost, Bal

roof of the stable of Charles Perry,. Esq.,
and carried it oft; and im nod hdely after

was toppled over and came crashing to the
ground, scattering fragments of timber in
all directions, Lint fortunately injured no

On Baltimore street it large number of
windows were broken, the most expensive
being two fine plate-glass windows in Mr.
Kearney's wholesale fluffily grocery, corner
of Centro street. The doors of the store
were standing open when the storm came
up, and they were blown shut with such
violence that the heavy plate-glass, about
a quarter inch in thiekllo.4 , l, wa-i shivered
into minute fragments and lay upon the
sidewalk in every conceivable shape.

The Influence of Nun Heat on
l'raztts
Never was there-a greater mistake made
than that of supposing that fruit produced
in the shade has the best flavor ; it is a false
notion, the mere chimera of half a century
ago. The black Hamburg grape is, to some
extent, an exception ; for its berries will
not color if the branches are deprived of too
many of their leaves, so as to let the sun in
among the bunches too freely ; whereas,
the Muscat of Alexandria will not attain its
rich amber color if so much overcrowded
with leaves as tohceep the rays of the sun
from ponetratingTreely among the bunches.
A pineapple produced in the water has not
the flavor of ono ripened in the summer
months of the year, when the sun is pow
erful. Again: under the old method of
planting strawberries in beds four feet
wide, the fruit is not to ho compared, either
in size or ll.tvor, with that of those planted
out in single rows. Now, what is the
reason of this? I contend that it is in conse
quence of the action of the sun upon the
fruit. The fruit shaded by leaves will al
ways-be more or less insipid and worthless,
as comparild with that, on which the sail has
had full play. It is the sun that puts flavor
into our fruits.—Journal of Horticulture.

The Devil in at Cooking Stove.
Mr. Ed. Hicks, of this city, for a year or
two past has owned a very large monkey,
known to Maconites generally, and the
police circle particularly, as Jacko. Yester
day Jacko managed to escape front his cage,
and before the fact was known he was in
the lower• part of the town searing the
women and children half to death, and his
whereabouts was unknown until a police
man was sent to arrest the "disturbing ele
ment." Jacko refused to surrender his lib
oralit:• of person, and for a time made a
gallant light; but the policeman "doubled
on him," and after receiving sundry kicks
and blows, Jack() ran, and tried to lied his
way back to his cage on Fourth street. IIe•
darted in the kitchen of Mclntyres restau
rant, and seeing a cooking stove side-door
open, popped in before his pursuers reach
ed the door of the kitchen or saw what had
become of him. Thinking perhaps that he
had passed through - the building, Lis pur
suers went on to his cage, but lo! Jacko
was not. at home, and the search was aban
doned.
In an hour afterward a customer entered
the restaurant and ordered ham and eggs,
and the cook, who was not in the kitchen at
the time Jacko entered, went to prepare the
meal. Seeing the stove-door open, he shut
it. with his foot, eta wassunt, turd, gathering
a handful of light, wood, kindled a tire, and
began to stir his eggs in a plate preparato
ry to scrambling them. While standing
there stirring the eggs, Jacko's quarters be
-01000 too warm for hits, and, forcing the
door open he bounded out and darted under
the table. This wits more than the cook
could stand, as be had not heard of the
monkey's escape, and, dropping his plate,
eggs, spoon, he rushed through the room
and frantically informed his employer that
the "berry debbil was in the kitchen, k:eo
he saw him jump out ob de stove," and
away he went and has not been heard of
since. The uproar soon renewed the pur
suit. after Jaekb, and he was recaptured
and returned to cooler and more com
fortable quarters than a stove with a fire in
it, but not until he had scared a score of
women and children to within an inch of
their lives and a negro out of his senses.

A. Deaf and Dunib Debating Cub.
A London paper says : X deaf and dumb
debating club known as " the Wallis Club"
in honor of Dr. John Wallis, who in the
seventeenth century, succeeded to some ex
tent in teaching the deaf and duntb, has
just terminated its third session,in the usual
English fashion, by a dinner. The society
consists of twenty-eight members, effective
and honorary, the qualifications for mem
bership being proficiency in daelylology,in
which mode or communication the debates
''are earried on with (in most cases) the ad
mixture of 'expressive signs ;' and it is It
satisfaction to know that these denizens or
the ' land of silence' are not debarred front
the qualification of expressing their opin
ions on the great political and social ques
tions or the day, adding their influence,
minute though it may be, to one side or any
in the , polemics ot.life. Therx_halrit.heeu
nine debates during the term on the follow:
ing subjects: "The Irish Church." "Which
party is most worthy of tho confidence of
rho country—the Conservai ire or the Lib

"The now Chief Conunissioner of Police—
ought not an officer of the army to be ap

place?" " rho late Abyssinian war
justifiable?" " That early marriages are
injurious to society, and should be prevent
ed by law .•' " The Siamese Twins—Mt ould
surgical operation be fatal to them both?"
" Should deaf and dumb children associate
with hearing children at school?" and "Wo
man Suffrage." Reading over the minutes
of the debates, we find the argil inen ts pro

the closing dinner all the usual loyal and
patriotic toasts were given, as well as the
toasts of the evening—"Suceess to Wallis

Tit E Japanese use paper for a great va
riety of purposes. A recent traveler stated
that he saw it made into materials so closely ,
resembling Rtissian and Morocco leather
and pig-skin, that it was very difficult to
detect the dilh•rcnce. With the aid of pecul
iar varnish anal skillful painting, paper
made excellent trunks, tobacco bags, cigar
cases, saddles, telescope-eases, the frames
of microscopes, and he even sate :Mil used
excellent water proof coats, made of simple
paper• which did keep out the rain, and
were as stipple as the best halm rubber.
The Japanese use neither silk nor cotton
handket•chiefs, towels, nor dusters; paper
in their hands, serves as an excellent sub
stitute. It is soft, thin, tough, of a pale
yellowish color, very plentiful, and very
cheap. The inner walls of many a Japanese
itpur Intent are formed of paper, lacing
nothing more than painted screens ; their
windows arc covered with a tine, translu
cent description of the saline material. It
enters largely into the manta facture of
nearly everything in the Japanese house
hold ; and he saw what seemed to be balls
of twine, but which were nothing but long
shreds of tough paper• rolled up. If a shop
keeper had a parcel to tie tap, he would lake
a strip ot • paper, roll it quickly between Ills
hands, and use it for the purpose ; anal it
was quite as strong its the ordinary string
used at home. In short, without paper, all
Japan would come to a dead lock ; and, in
deed, lest by the arbitrary exercise of his
authority, a tyrannical husband should stop

St. Corpse Pitched into a Train
Yesterday evening, as soon , employes of
the Union Paeitie Railroad opened the door
of a box freight ear at the State Line depot,
their vision was horrified by the form of a
dead man lying a few feet from the entrance,
whose blood lay congealed in a dozen places
on the floor. The body proved to be that of
a well-dressed young mini named Charles
T. Brady. His head was terribly lamer:ilea
and his skull frightfully fractured as though
"struck with a hatchet.
..Two fatal CO ts-were.h.l. the neck, just he .
lon - the right ear, and ii bullet had pierced
a short distance into his right hip, proving
that both pistols and a hatchet had been
used in the murder. On the voting lIIILWI4
linger wits found a beautiful gold ring, and
in his pockets were found some letters anal
ti pocket-book containing, a few dollars in
green backs. One of the letters wa, from
Messrs. White & Austin, lawyers of Hays
City, addressed to young Brady, at Junc
tion City, and asking an advance of :,'N'lso—
a snit that, legal tirm, it appears, were
conducting for Idni.
A discharge was also found in his pocket
front the Nineteenth regiment of Kangas
volunteers. The supposition is that young
Brady was murdered at Sheridan, or be
tween that point and :inaction City, and
his body thrown into the freight car by the
murderers. The car was billed, cluptY,
from Sheridan to Kansas City, and these
being no occasion for its use on the way, it
had not been opened by the employes of the
road, and thus the body was not discovered
until it arrived at the depot here.-linizsa4

Few things in which life Lend to express
the thoughtful tastes of individuals more
Hutu Ilou•ers—especially when we observe
them in windows tind doorways, cared for
and cult u zed as these sweet things which
only need a soul to make them perfect—de
serve to be. If n•e pass by a house, even
though it be a narrow confined thorough

rots of pots tilled with gay geraniums and
bell-formed fuchias we suppose surely in
that house there must live some one whose

simple things like those often render to the
wretched hearted and weary. Wherever
dowers are seen carefully tended, we may
be sure there will be found people of a re
