DISCIPLINE. During the winter of 18G.J-4 it was my fortune lo bo president of one of the oonrt lnarliala of tho Army of Northern irginia. One bleak December morn ing, while the snow tovcred the ground nnd the winda howled around our camp, I left my bivouac fire to attend the ses sion of the court. Winding for miles along uncertain paths 1 at length ar rived at the court ground nt Round Oak Church. Day after day it had ulou our duty to try tho gallant soldiors of that nrroy, Charged with violations of military law. Uut never had 1 on nay previous occa sion been greeted with such anxious spectators as ou that morning awaited the opening of tho court. Case after cose woe disposed of, and nt length the case of "The Confederate States versus Edward Cooper" was called the charco, desertion. A low murmur roso spon taneously. from -the battle scarred spec tators as a young artilleryman rose from the prisoner s bench and, in response to tho question "Guilty, or not guilty?" an swered, "Not guilty ," The judge adrocate was proceeding to open the prosecution, when the court, observing that the prisoner waa unat tended by counsel, interposed and said to the accused: - "Who is your counsel?" "I have no counsel." be replied. Supposing that it was his intention to renresent himself before the court, the judge advocate waa directed to proceed. Lvery charge and specification against the prisoner waa sustained. The prison. crwaa then told to introduce his wit nesses. "I have no witnesses," he replied. Astonished at the calmness with which ho seemed to be submitting to what he regarded as Inevitable rate, 1 said to him' "Have i no defense? Is it possible you abandoned your comrades and de serted your colors in the presence of an enemy without any reaeonr 'There was a reason, but it will not avail mo before a military court. Perhaps you are mistaken, I replied. "You are charged with the highest crime known to military law, and it is your duty to make known too cause that in uuenced your actions. bor the first time his manly form trembled and his bine eyes swam in tears. Approaching the president of the court he presented a letter, saying na he did so: "There, general, is what did it." I opened the letter, and in a moment my eyes were filled with tears. It was pawed from one to another of the court until all had seen it, and those stern warriors, who had passed with Stone wall Jackson through a hundred battles, wept- like little children. As soon ns I had recovered my self possession I read the letter as the defense or the prisoner. It was in these words: Mr Dbah Edwahd I have always been proqd of you, sad alaee your connection with the Confederate army I have been prouder ol yea than over before. 1 woold not have you do finythlfiK wroac for the world; bnt, before God, dear Edward, unless yon com home we laosidlo.

After reading the letter I turned to the prisoner and said: "What did you do when you received this letter? Did you apply for a leave ol absence to the proper officerar "I made application for a furlough and it was rejected; again I made an application and It was rejected; a third nine l inaoo application ana taey re fused to grant it. That nlgnt as 1 wan- dared backward and forward in the camp thinking of my home, with the mild eyes of Lucy looking toward nu and the burning words of Mary sinking deep into my brain, I was no longer ttu Confederate soldier, but 1 was the fsthei of Lncy and the husband of Mary, and would have passed tboso lines if every gun In the battery had fired upon me. went to my home. Mary ran out tc meet me hor angel arms embraced me ana she whispered: " 'Oh, Edward, 1 am so happy! I am so glad you got your furlough! "She most In', u folt me shudder, foi she turned as ualo as daatb, and then, oatching her breath at every word, she said; " 'Have yon come without your fur lough? Oil, Edward, Edward, go back Go back! Let me and my children gc down together to the grave, but, oh, foi heaven's sake, save the honor of your namef "I at once returned, and here I am, gentlemen, not brought here by military power, but in obedience to the command of Mary, to abide the sentence of yom cornf Kvery soldier of that court martial felt the furoe of the prisoner's words.

During the aeoond battle of Cold Har bor, while shot and shell were falling "like torrents from the mountain cloud," my attention was directed t the fuct that one of our batteries waa being silenced by the concentrated Are of the Union forces. When I reached the lattery every iran but one had been dismantled, and by it stood a solitary Confederate soldier, with the Wood treaming from his side. As he recognized me he elevated his voice above the roar of the battle mid said: 'General, I hare one shell tcft. Tell me, have I saved the honor of Mary and ijuoyr I raised my hat.

Tho con stant and frequent inspection of tho vast fleet of merchant vessels that trades along our coast forms a very im portant duty of the service, nnd ono which, if not iiorformcd, would be fol lowed by a very general neglect of the customs and navigation laws.

Scribner's Motions tn n Court of Justice. A rather crude citizen of Seguln, a small town in western Toxas, was elected justice of the paaco, and the only law book he had was Cnshing's Manual. The first case beforo him was that of a cowboy for stealing a steer. When tho case was called the Icadinc lawyer of the town, tho Hon. John Ire land by name, wai there to defend the prisoner. "As thcro is no counsel for tho other side," ho said, "I rnako make a motion that tho case be dismissed." Tho justice looked over his Manual. "A motion has to bo seconded," he said. "I second the motion," promptly ro- Eponded the prisoner. The motion has been secouded that the cose bo dismissed," said tho court. "All in favor will please say 'aye.' " Tho prisoner nnd his attorney voted "ayo." "All opposed will say 'no.' " Nobody voted. "The motion is carried, and the case is dismissed," repeated the court. "A motion to adjourn is now in order." The prisoner made tho motion, and the court adjourned. Lancaster Law Ueview.

THERMOMETERS ARE MANUFAC TURED WITH GREAT CARE. Tliey Are Hade Very Accurately, unrt, Though. (Jnleklr, l'aa, Through Nine teen l'alr of Hand Tho Different l'roeeM. of lb Instrument. The making of a thermometer may be either a delicate scientific operation, or one of the simplest tasks of, tho skilled mechanic, according to the sort of ther mometer made. With the extremoly sensitive nnd minutely accurate instru ments designed for scientific uses groat tare is taken, and they are kept in stock for months, sometimes for years, to be compared and recompared with instru ments that ore known to be trustworthy. But so'mnch time cannot be spent over the comparatively cheap thermometers in common use, nnd these are made rap idly, though always carefully. The method of manufacture has been so sys tematized within a few years that the veryoheapest thermometer should not vary more than a fraction of a degree irorn uie correct point. Whether tho thermometer is to be charged with mercury or alcohol; wheth er it is to bo mounted in a frame of wood, pressed tin or brass, tho process is substantially tho same. Mercury is generally used for scientific instruments, but most makers prefer alcohol, because it is cheaper. The alcohol is colored rod with nn aniline dye which does not fade. The thermometer maker buvs his irlass tubes in long strips from the glass fac tories. Tho glassblowcr on tho premises cuts these tnbea to tho proper lengths, and with his gas jet nnd blowpipe makes the bulb on tho lower end. The bulbs are then filled with colored alcohol, and tho tubes stand for twenty-four hours. On the following day another work man holds each bulb in turn over n g.13 jet until tho colored fluid, by its expan sion, entirely fills tho tube. It then goes back into the hands of tho glass blower. He closes the upper end and turns tho tip backward to make the lit tle glass hook which will help keep tho tube in place in the frame. IfARKIXQ THE TUBES. The tubes now rest until some hun dreds of them, perhaps thousands, are roady. Then tho process of gauging be gins. Thero nro no marks whatever on the tube, and the first guide mark to bo mode is the freezing point, 33 dogs. bahrenheit. this is found bvnlunirinK tho bulbs into melting snow. Ho other thermometer is needed for a guide, for melting snow gives invariably the exact freezing point. This is an unfailing tost for any thermometer whose accuracy may be suspected. Bnt melting snow is not always to be had, and a little ma chine resembling a sausage- grinder is brought into use. Thl3 machino shaves a block of ice into particles, which an swer tho pnrposo as well as snow. When tho bulbs havo been long enough in the melting snow a workman takes them one by one from their icy bath, seizing each so that his thumb nail marks the exact spot to which tho fluid has fallen. Here he makes a scarcely perceptible mark upon the glass with a fine file, and goes on to the next. Tho tnbes, with tho freezing point marked on each, now go into tho hands of another workman, who plunges them, bulb down, into a vessel filled with water kept constantly at Ol degs. A standard thermometer attached to tho inside of this vessel shows that tho temperature of tho water is correct, Another tiny file scratch is put at C4. Then a third workman plunges the bulbs into another vessel of water kept constantly at DO. This is marked liko the others, and the tube is now sup plied with those guide marks, each 32 degs. from the next. A small tab is then attached to each tube, on which its number is written for, owing to un avoidable variations in the bore of the tube, each ono varies slightly from tho others. MABJUNO THE CASES. With its individuality thus established the tuba goes into the hands of a mark er, who fits its bulb and hook into the framo it is to Occupy, and makes slight scratches on tho framo corresponding to tho 33, CI and OS degree marks on the tube. The framo has a number corre sponding with tho number of tho tube, and the tube is laid away in a rack amid thousands. Tho frame, whether it be wood, tin or brass, goes to tho gauging room, where it Is laid upon a steeply sloping table, exactly in the position marked for a thermometer of that size. The 33, ot and 00 degree marks must correspond with tho marks upon tho table. If they do not, the error in marking is dotoctod and the frame is sent back for oorrec don. A long, straight bar of wood or metal extends diagonally across the table from the lower right hand corner to the upper left hand comer. On the right this works UDon a pivot and on the left it rests in a ratchet, which lets it ascend or descend only ono notch at a time. That notch marks the exact distance of 2 degs. With the three scratches already made for a basis the marker could hardly moke a mistake in the degrees if he tried. The marks made upon uie frame or case are all made by hand with a geo metric pen and India ink if the frame is of wood, and with steel dies if it is of metal. The tub bearing the correspond ing number is next attached to the frame. and the thermometer is reaay ror me market without further testing. Some makers uai only two guide marks, but the best makers use three. In tho nrocess of manufacture the ordinary thermometer goes through the hands of nineteen worsanen, iuui m whom are often girls and women. Some of the larger concerns in and near New York nroduce several hundred utoosanu inatrnmenu annually, and on every one of tboin the purchaser may see, if he looks closely, the tiny file scratch on the gloss at 82, Si and W degree marks or somewhere near them, as oinerent matt er use different points.

I how long it was before he ubi ,l t'ici i ropliod scum, times twenty years timca lungfi When I was a boy, iu - i lhy county, 1 went one day to Mr. Jo,1 a Cooper's shoe maker's shop to be measured for a pair of shoes, as tho custom of the country then was. He and his littlo son Robert lived alone in the woods in a hoaso of one room, which was dwelling and shoe shop. Soon Bob's uncle, Gideon Kaylor, about his age, came in, and B:b joyfully exclaimed, "Come, Undo Uid, we'vo got some potatoes, and thero is plenty of salt." It seemed strange to me to see how eagerly they roasted and ate tho potatoes and how happy they were. They lived happily, nnd yet this was all thoir liv ing. I have repeated this story frs quently during my prosperous days as a great wonder, nover dreaming that it would become my own reality, as it nuw is, and I am happy too. A German woman who could not speak a word of English came into my office one day with one of my German circulars in her hand, which Mr. Coop had given her in Saxony. I sent hor out into tho country with a German mer chant to look at lands, and that day she bought a farm. The next day I mad tne deeds, nnd she became the owner and moved in. A neighbor soon after ward told me that it cost that lady nothing to live He says she puts a tin cup of coffee on the store and a tin cup of comincal mush, and that is all hor Br ing, but she is getting rich. I thought that very strange, too, never thinking that I should live so, but I do just that thing now, having remembered hoaxing bow she lived. When I lost oil my money and yet must live, I rented a room 11 by 18 feet, with heat, for (S per month not a very good room and not very well furnished, but comfortable and respectable, and there are plenty of them at that price, I bought an outfit as follows: An iron handy lamp, 79 cents; three eesmleas pint tin cups, 15 cents; one do. quart. is cents: one nau gallon tin cup, with cover, 10 cents; three bowls, IS cents; cup and sancer, 10 cents; gallon glass oil can, 35 cents; oil, IS cents; spoon, 10 cents; total outfit, (3, Then I bought one month's provisions as foi lows: Half bushel potatoes, 35 cent,, ten pounds eornmcal, 20 cents; three pounds Graham Hour, 15 cents; one pound ground coffoo, 25 cents; eight pounds granulated sugar, 38 cents; one pound lard, 10 cents; coarse salt, 5 cents; total for the month, $1.40. I am a good, hearty eater, and am fat) fed and live well, and am thankful for it, but I cannot eat all of uy month's provision. There is always a considera ble amount over every month, and I Br well too. In the morning I light my handy lamp, fill my seamless pint tin cup with water, put a teaspoonful of ground coffee into it, put it over the lamp, and turn another tin cup, bottom upward, over it for a cover. In ten minutes thero is a pint cap of good, hot coffee. - While the coilee U boiling I put a little water into the half gallon cup, not more than one-eighth fall, and than fill the quart tin cup about one-fourth full of cornmeal, add a little salt, then set this cup into the half gallon cup, and fill up the quart cup full of water and stir up the meal well. Jam in the han dle of the quart cup so that it will g into the larger cup. As soon as the cof fee comes off set the mush on the lamp. Stir it occasionally, and when it thickens and fills np the enp take it off. I buy a loaf of bread for four cents for Sunday, nnd melt a little lard and salt for gravy, and I live well and have plenty to eat.
