THE BAD BOY.
Well, what's the matter with yon
now ?" said the grocery man to the
bad boy, as he came into the grocery
on crutches, with one arm in a sling,
one eye blackened, and a strip of
court plaster across one side of his
face. "Where was the explosion, or
have you been in a fight? '
0 'there's not much the matter
with me," said the boy, in a voice
that sounded all broke up, as he took
a big apple off a basket, ana began
peeling it with his upper front teeth.
"If yoa think I am a wreck you
ought to see the minister. They had
t to carry him home in instalments,
' the way they buy sewing machines.
I am all right, but they have got to
stop him up with oakum and tar be
fore he will ever hold water again."
"Good gracious, you have not had
a fight with the minister, have you?
Well, I have said all the time, and
I stick to it, that you would commit
s crime yet, and go to 6tate prison.
What was the fuss about?" and the
grocery man laid the hatchet out of
the boy s reach for fear he would get
excited and kill him.
"O, it was no fuss. It was in the
wav of business. You see the livery
mail that I was working for promot
ed me. He let me drive a horse to
haul sawdust for bedding first, and
when he found I was real careful he
let me drive an exnress wagon to
haul trunks. Day before yesterday
there was a funeral, and our stable
furnished the outfit It was only a
common eleven dollar funeral, so
thev let me go to drive the horse for
the" minister you know, the buggy
that goes ahead of the hearse. They
gave me an old horse that is thirty
years old, that has not been off ol a
walk since nine years ago, and they
told me to give him a loose rein, and
he would go along all right It's the
same old horse that used to pace so
fast on the avenue, vears ago, but I
didn't know it Well. I wasn't to
blame. I just let him walk along as
though he was haulingsswdust, and
gave him a loose rein. When we got
off the pavement the fellow that
drives the hearse, he was in a hurry
'cause his folks going were to have
ducks for dinner, and be wanted to
get back, so he kept driving along
side of my buggy, and telling me to
hurry up, I wouldn't do it, 'cause
the livery man told me to walk the
horse. Then the minister, he got
nervous, and said he didn't know as
there was any use of going so slow,
l-ecausehe wanted to get back in
time to get his lunch and go to a
ministers' meeting in the afternoon,
but I told him we would all get to
the cemetery soon enough if we took
it cool, and as for me I wasn't in no
sweat Then one of the drivers that
was driving the mourners, he came
up and said he had to get back in
time to run a wedding down to the
one o'clock train, and for me to pull
out a little. I have seen enough of
disobeying orders, and I told him a
funeral in the hand was worth two
weddings in the bush, and as far as
I was concerned, the funeral was
going 10 be conducted, in a decorous
manner, if we didnt get back till the
next day. Well, the minister said
in his regular Sunday school way,
"My little man let me take hold
of the lines," and like a darn fool I
gave them to him. He slapped the
old horse on the crupper with the
lines and then jerked up, the old
horse stuck up his off ear, and then
the hearse driver told the minister
to pull hard and saw on the bit a
little and the old horse would walk
up.' The hearse driver used to drive
the old nacer on the track, and he
knew what he wanted. The minis
ter took off his black kid gloves and
put his umbrella down between us
and pulled his hat down over his
head and began to pull and saw on
the bit The old cripple began to
move along sort of sideways, like a
hog going to war, and the minister
pulled some more, and the hearse
driver, who was right behind, he
said 60 you could hear him clear to
Waukosha, "Ye-e-up," and the old
horse kept on going faster, then the
minister thought the procession was
getting too quick, and he pulled
harder, and yelled "who-a" and that
made the old horse worse, and I look
ed through the little window in the
buggy top behind, and the hearse
was about two blocks behind, and
the driver was laughing, and the
minister he got pale and said. "My
little man, I suess you better drive,"
and I said, "Not much, Mary Ann ;
you wouldn't let me run this funeral
the way I wanted to, and now you
can boss it, if you will let me get
out but there was a street car ahead
and all of a sudden there was an
earthquake, . and when I come to
there were about six hundred people
pouring water down my neck, and
the hearse was hitched to the fence.
and the hearse driver was agking if
my leg was broke, and a policeman
was fanning the minister with a
plug hat that looked as though it
had been struck by a pile-driver,
and some people were hauling our
buggy into the gutter, and some men
were trving to take old pacer out of
the windows of the street-car, and
then I guess I fainted away again.
O, it was worse that telescoping a
train loaded witn cattle.
"Well, I Bwan," said the grocery
man as he put some eggs in a funnel
shaped brown paper for a servant
girl. "What did the minister say
when he come to?"
"Say! What could he say? He
just yelled "whoa," snd kept sawing
with nis hands, as toougn he was
driving. I heard the policeman was
going to pull him for fast driving till
he found it was an accident They
told me. when they carried me home
in a hack, that it was a wonder
everybody was not killed, and when
I got home pa was going to sass me,
until the hearse driver told him it
was the minister that was to blame.
I want to find out if they got the
minister's umbrelli back. The last
I seen of it the umbrella was run
ning up his trousers leg, and the
point come out by the small of his
back. But I am 'all right, and shall
go to work to-morrow, cause the liv
ery man says I was the only one in
the crowd that had any sense. I
understand the minister is going to
take a vacation on account of his
liver and nervous prostration. I

But that settled the miuister busi
ness with me. I don't drive for no
more preachers. What I want is a

ped on one foot toward his crutches,
filling his pistol pocket with figs as
he hobbled along. PecVt Sun.

Washington, May 4, 1SS3.
A lively interest in the approach
ing re-union of the Army of the Po
tomac, to be held in this city on the
16th and 17th inst. has now taken
definite shape. The committee of
arrangements embraces a long list of
names of the most substantial ana
influential elements of which the
DODulation of this city is composed.
But each gentleman has been select
ed with reference to emciency in
the work, while a display of orna
mental figure-heads was ignored.
Besides the committees of reception
and finance, a committee has been
appointed on parade, on transporta
tion, on halls and headquarters, on
banquet, on press, badges end print
ing, and on invitations. No detail
for making the affair a complete and
brilliant success will be neglected.
Hotel accommodations will be re
duced to $3.00 per day for the occa
sion, and railway lares to one ana
one-third fare for round trip. The
trunk lines have spent ?lo,UUU in
advertising the re-union, and many
visitors are expectea in me cny. io
city of the Union owes the old sol-
diere a warmer welcome man me
National Capital, which thev de
fended through so many hard fought
campaigns, iney will meet nere
again for the first time since 18 years
ago, when, war-worn and ragged,
but covered witn glory, tney carnea
their tattered colors up Pennsylva
nia avenue and passed in review be
fore the Executive Mansion. Though
their reception on this occasion must
necessarily be less wild, boisterous,
and enthusiastic than then, it is
intended to be no less genuine and
cordiaL There will be an excursion
of citizens and veterans to Mount
Vernon, and t some of the famous
battlefields near Washington. The
business meeting of the Society will
be held at the National Theatre,
where also will be the delivery of the
oration by Hon. Martin Maginnis, of
Montana, who is now in the city,
and who, during his day in Con
gress, was called the rhyming orator.
The poet of the occasion will be
George Alfred Townsend. The ban
quet will be held at Abner's Garden.
Some of the conspicuous names on
the committee of reception are Hon.
James G. Blaine, Gen. W. T. Sher
man, Mr. Justice Harlan, Gen.
hazen, CoL Corkhill, Hon. W. E.
Chandler, and W. W. Corcoran. On
Wednesday representatives of the
society called on President Arthur
and invited him 'to take part in
the re-union, and the invitation was
accepted.
An important naval change took
place here this week. Secretary
Chandler appointed Commodore IL
V. Shufeldt to the superintendency
of the Naval Observatory, in place
of Vice Admiral Stephen Rowan,
who asked to be relieved of the
duties.
The special committee which for
some weeks past has been examin
ing the books, accounts and moneys
in the Treasury, completed their
work Wednesday. The members
of the committee waited on Secreta
ry Folger in a body, and presented
their report This is the only
count of the kind that has taken
place for about ten years. But it is
deemed proper and necessary to
know the exact condition of the
cash and accounts when a new treas
urer enters office, as in the case of
Mr. Wyman rice Mr. Gilfillan. The
only discrepancy discovered by the
count was an excess of three cents in
favor of the retiring officer, which
excess existed when he took posses
sion of the office. So it would seem
honesty is not yet extinct, even in
high daces. "
' At the daily Cabinet meetings the
absorbing business is the considera
tion of the civil service rules. It is
thought action will be taken upon
them this week. The commission
ers then purpose to adopt some plan
for the conduct of examinations for
entry into and promotions in the
civil service in the executive depart
ments of this city. In reference to
the complaints made against Mr.
Keim as chief examiner of the civil
service commission, Judge Thoman,
of the commission, denies the pub
lished report that Senator Pendle
ton, author of the civil service law,
suecested or advocated Mr. Keim's
appointment He says Mr. Keim
was the unanimous choice of the
commissioners.
It is reported about fifty ex-mem
bers of Congress have applied for
the commissionership of Internal
Revenue at this writing, and that
every train brings new ones into the
city. But unfortunately for them
the President has no nen chant
for the appointment of ex-Congress
men to office.
Sheep Between Bay and Gnm.
The month of April is often
trying period for the flock. Sheep
are extremely fond of green food
and, if allowed, will search far and
near for tufts of grass that have re
mained green through the winter, or
for green shoots just starting. The
amount of food that they get in this
way is hardly more than enough to
compensate for this extra labor in
traveling. This roaming over fields
should be restricted to a short time
each day ; for having lost their sub
stantial food, they are likely to be
come weak and injured by this
change from winter to spring food.
This period is well known, under
the old system of allowing sheep to
shirt lor themselves, as the most
perilous of the year. The stamina
of the system Boon becomes so re
duced, that exposure to a slight
storm ends them in a few hours.
The careful shepherd will therefore
provide against exposure to storms
and reduction of food during April
and a portion of May, if the season
is backward. There is no portion
of the year when sheep more need a
6mall grain ration and a lock of hay
than that between hay and grass. It
has come to be considered the piriod
ot greatest risk by Hock masters ; but
a i. . ...
if sheep have been well keot through
the winter and they reach spring inland his genius with his surrounding,
gooa, strong, healthy condition, why
should there be so great a risk after
the mild season begins ? There is
no sound reason, except the fact
that as soon as sheep go to the fields
the winter feed is nearly all omited,
whereas they should be fed steadily
till the grass furnishes sufficient
food for them to thrive upon.

El ROPE AX LETTER.
St. Petesrbukq, April 20, 18S3.
Had not the large-minded Empe
rors. Alexander I and II, tolerated
the publication and sale of Russian
New Testaments, many more years
might have elapsed before the lower
classes in Russia could have dis
covered the knowledge which their
church had carefully hidden from
them. The Sermon on the Mount,
the whole life and image of the Sa
vior, came upon them in the shape
of a revelation, quite as much so as
it ever did toIIottentota.EsQuimaux
or South Sea Islanders. Von der
Bruggen relates a remarkable cir
cumstance which he gathered from
the lips of a landed proprietor. One
day the latter heard from one of his
men, who had ridden as fast as he
could to bring the news, that a great
i i r I ?
Drawi was going on in a neignoonng
village. Carts full of "Stundisten "
had arrived, and were being attacked
with cudgels and stones. The coun
try gentleman rode up to the tjpot
and found that Muscovite Metho
dists had slowly driven up to the
village and through the streets,
singing psalm". These were the
people whom the priest had always
held up as enemies of God and the
church, and frequenters of taverns
and pot-houses. Hence the new
comers were received with scoffs
and jeers, and ordered to depart
As they did not obey, the crowd
proceeded to hustle them about and
to throw stones at them. The con
verts did not defend themselves, or
give blow for blow. They avoided
angry words, and calmly continued
to chant a he narrator arrived in
time to prevent worse from happen
ing, and to establish order. He
witnessed how more than one of the
orthodox peasants was so forcibly
struck by the behavior of the Salva
tionists as to fall on his knees, and
look after them as if they had been
real saints of his own church. Two
days later the whole village had
gone over to the sect known as the
Stundists.
A similar movement has been be
gun in the aristocratic circles of St
Petersburg by Wassili Alexandro
vich Pashkoff, a colonel in the guards
and a man of birth and wealth, who
was led to study the Gospel by Lord
Kadstock. He has left the army
and now opens his palace regularly
to the rich, who hold prayer meet
ings in French ; and to the poor, to
whom the New Testament is read
and expounded in their native
tongue, iu which the Colonel also
prays with them. The hymns sung
are translated from the German, and
adapted to the melodies in use
among German Protestants. In one
of the latest Russian publications on
the subject either by Jassoff or
Prugavin, the total number of "here
tics in Russia is estimated at 12,000,
000. An official account distinguish'
es 3,000,000 of sectarians who have
priests of their own, 8,000,000 who
have no priests, rather less than
1,000.000 of "spiritual christians,"
and 65,000 enthusiasts, among
which we may, I presume, reckon
the Living-Dead, who bear their
strange name because they are in
the habit of sleeping in coffins a
fact that reminds one of the Chi
nese colonists, whose first day's
work in the new country is invaria
bly the construction ot his own
coffin. The dissimilarity among all
these sects is immense. Adherents
of the Ancient Faith are seriously
at variance with the official church
only in resiect to the highly im-
Eortant question whether two fingers
ave to be lifted up in swearing an
oath, or three. Many a martyr
might have avoided persecution,
prison, torture and death had he
been less economical in the use of
his fingers, and raised three instead
of contenting himself with two.
Sectarianism in Russia has until
lately been as superstitious and
ignorant as Orthodoxy. A kind
of partly evangelical, partly ra
tionalist spiritualism seems to have
entered it as a ferment which
may some dav bring either de
struction or reform to the Russian
church.
A Great American.
The universal prevalence of the
colonial spirit is shown most strong
ly by one great exception, just as the
flash of lightning makes us realize
the intense darkness of a thunder
storm at night In the midst of the
provincial and barren waste of our
' . 11 . , m t . 1 1
inieueciuai existence in me eigh
teenth century there stands out in
sharp relief the luminous genius of
franklin, It is true that Franklin
was cosmopolitan in thought, that
his name and fame and achieve
ments in science and literature be
longed to mankind ; but he was all
this because he was genuinely and
intensely American. His audacity,
his fertility, his adaptability, are all
characteristic of America, and not of .
an English colony. He moved with
an easy and assured step, with a
poise and balance which nothing
could shake, among the great men
of the world ; he stood before kings
and princes and courtiers, unmoved
and unawed. He was strongly
averse to breaking with England;
but when the war came he was the
one man who could go forth and
represent to Europe the new nation
ality without a touch of the colonist
about him. He met them alL great
ministers and great sovereigns, on a
common ground, as if the colonies
of yesterday had been an independ
ent nation of generations. His au
tobiography is the corner-stone, the
first great work of American litera
ture. The plain, direct style, almost
worthy of cwut, the homely, forci
ble language, the honor, the observa
tion, the knowledge of men, . the
wordly philosophy of the remarka
ble book, are familiar to all ; but it
is best and, considering its date, its
most extraodinary quality is its per
fect originality. It is. American in
feeling, without any taint of Eng
lish colonialism. Look at Franklin
in the midst of that excellent Penn
sylvania community; compare him
and you get a better , idea of what
the colonial spirit was in America
in those days, and how thoroughly
men were saturated with it, than in
any other way.
1 here are thirty six theatres in
Londcn, which represent an invest
ment in land of more than f 200.000,-

Two Serious Disaster.
WrxKisBASRE, Ps-, May 4. An
explosion of gas occurred this after
noon in the Dorrance shaft of the
Lehigh Valley Coal Company. A
number of men were in the pit At
the time of the explosion Edward
Rinkerand Henry Baker were doing
some plumbing sixty feet below the
surface. They were almost roasted
alive. The former is dead, and the
latter cannot recover. The shaft is
600 feet deep. The timbers in it
took fire. The only theory as to the
cause of the explosion is that a spark
from a pipe in the mouth of a car
penter bred the gas. The fire was
put out by 9.30 p. m.
WrLKESBAERF, May 4. A terrific
explosion of gas occurred in the Stan
ton air shaft of the Lehigh and Wil
kesbarre Coal Company this evening
just as the shift of night miners were
getting ready to enter the buckets to
be lowered into the pit The head-
house, 500 feet from the bottom of
the shaft, was blown to pieces and
carried forty feet into the air. The
cause of the explosion is unknown.
Two miners were injured.
Southern Excursion Party.
Harrisburo. Mav 3. An excur
sion unmbering fifty-six persons,
and consisting ol such Senators and
members of the House as are veter
ans of the last war, with a few invit
ed guests, left Harrisburg this after
noon for Fredericksburg, Richmond,
Petersburgand the battlefields. The
Pennsylvania Railroad Company
extended the courtesy of transporta
tion over all its lines to Quantico
and return, and the Pullman Car
Company supplied the new cars
"Danube" and "Severn" for the en
tire trip. The programme of the
party includes a reception at Fred
ericksburg and a Sunday in Rich
mond, returning to Harrisburg early
next Tuesday morning. The trip
was designed by the veterans in or
der to enable them to visit the scenes
of their former battles.
Gave Himself Up
Bismarck, Dakota, May 2. Wil
liam A. Wilson, from Mouse river,
gave himself up yesterday for kill
ing a man named Bailey lastmonth.
It seems that Bailey had killed a
settler, taking his wife's money and
other effects, and Wilson was the
leader of the crowd in taking Bailey
to justice. Bailey attempted to get
away from the citizens and fired at
Wilson, who fired in return, the ball
taking effect in Bailey's stomach.
The latter, before expiring, confessed
the murder of a man named Wood
ruff last December, and that he threw
the body into Mouse river.
The Strike Extended.
PnTSBURa, May 1. Reports from
the railroad coal mines, this evening,
state that the strike against a reduc
tion of one-half cent per bushel in
the price of mining, has extended to
all the mines save one or two. The
operators admit that the strike is
general, but profess to be indifferent
whether it is of long or short dura
tion. They say they will see their
mines idle until next fall rather than
pay more than three cents per bush
el for mining. The miners' officers
pronounce this the greatest strike of
the miners ever inaugurated in this
district, and say they are prepared
to hold out
Terrible Disaster at a Mine.
Halifax, N". S., May 3. A dis
patch from New Glasgow says :
"While the men were coming up
from work in the Vale mine to-day
the rope attached to the rake broke
and the boxes ran down the slope,
killed six persons J. R. Gillie, Colin
Campbell, A. Frazer, Willace Mc
Gillivrae, J. McEachern (boy) and
Willian Hannehan (boy). The in
jured are A. McLeod, John Nicholson
(boy) and Kichard lay lor, none ot
whom are expected to recover, and
A. Irving (boy) and Malcolm Bea
ton, both of whom will revover.
Family Fend.
Stanford, May 1. News has been
received here that three Smith broth
ers and Hafiey and Yocum on one
side, met three Cain brothers in a
drinking house at McKinney, when
a quarrel arose between the parties
during which forty shots were ex
changed. Peter and James Cain were
seriously wounded, Wm. Cain was
shot through the head and Robert
Smith shot in the mouth.
The Bad and Worthless
are never imitated or counterfeit. This
is especially true of a family med
icine, and it is positively proof that
the remedy imitated is of the highest
value. As soon as it had been tested
and proved by the world that Hop
Bitters was the purest, best and most
valuable family medicine on earth,
many imitations sprung up and be
gan to steal the notices in which the
press and people of the country had
expressed the merits of H. B., and in
everyway trying to induce suffering
invalids to use their stuff in stead,
expecting to make money on the
credit and good name of II. B. Many
others started nostrums put up in
similar style to H. B., with variously
devised names in which the word
Hop" or "Hops" were used in a way
to indnce people to believe they were
the same as Hop Bitters. All such
pretended remedies or cures, no mat
ter what their style or name is, and
especially those with the word "Hop"
or Hops " in their name or in any
way connected with them or their
name, are imitations or counterfeits. !
Beware of them. Touch none of
them. Use nothing but genuine
Hop Bitters, with a bunch or cluster
of green Hops on the white label.
Trust nothing else. Druggists 'and
dealers are warned against dealing
in imitations or counterfeits.
A man has figured that there are
in this country about 14,000,000 pet
canaries which annually use 18,000,
000 pounds of seed, worth $14,000,
