Ihree-fourths ol the Trusses sold do not give satis faction, because they arc im properly fitted to the body.

''Poor creature!" eai-l Amj Wright, to two of her school com panions, as the three girl stepped troua a cabin on the outckirU of the tewn cf Westville, "to be deaf and dumb, and with a little baby, and not able to tell where she came from and where she was goicg, when the train met with that accident! lis dredful!" A wetk before this, a southern bound train collided with freight cars, and was hurled down an em bankment Some of the passengers wtre killed, and but few of them es caped without injury. The woman mentioned had her rihtaim severe ly hurt, and was otherwise injured, and the fright seemed to have affec ted ber mind, for clasping her in fant in her armi?,she walked rapidlv down the railroad tracked did not stop till she reached estville, two miit-4 rliitt'int. frum tr.s t,lnpp of ths xroiHHf.t Ths-r sbo st:...o.. tr, si kx.c.v, c,i f.;ri,i fnriimotw. ' ly, two men were near, wno came to her relief.and as she seemed to have no money, and was thus thrown a pauper upon the town, the authori ties of Westville placed her in tbe cabin of a poor family, and charita ble people provided for her immedi ate wanU. But she was a mystery to the Westville folk. Her outlandish dress, the Ehort woolen ekirt with the queer bodice, the strange bead- gear, between a cip and a oonnet showed that she was a foreigner. The injury to her right arm preven ted her from making anv sing. Even had she been able to express her thoughts by the fingtrs, there was no one in estville who under stood the language of mutes. If any person on the train knew about the poor woman they were among the killed or wounded, for no inquiry revealed anything concerning her. The three girls the eldest was only thirteen years old had been sent bv their parents witu tood to the woman aud their hearts were full of pity for her. Ilow dreaulm it must be to be so poor! JNuna lifiipin said, with a sigh. "And then to be thrown among strangtrs and deaf aud dumb besides !" "Isn't it pitiable t see her trying to make us understand what she wishes to mv ?" Alice exclaimed. Did vou se how she pointed south with her left had and her eves glit tering so wild '? And then she found we didn't understand her, how ehe hugged thr b.tby, and cried as if her heart would break ? Oh if we could only help her in some way ! " 1 m sure she wants money,'' Amv said, solemly. Everybody could get along if they had money, I heard pa say that it sue had some she could buy a railroad ticket and to to her friends. He can t give her anv now. Out he shvs ny tne time her arm is well, he hopes he will be able to help her." "My father is too poor himself to help anybody.-' Alice said, sadly. "But girls, do you know I thi'.k if she can't get aw&y trom here, she will die. She does rot eat and she cries all the time. Oh, I do wish we could do somethiiig for her!" The girls walked on silently. Sud denly Amy cried out in an exciting manner, hasten girls ! 1 ve thought of a way of making money. Do you know pecans are selling in Colches ter for twelve dollars a barrel ? You know Mr. Mills allows everybody to rather the nuts from his pecan grove, and if we can get ahead of j the beys atd colorsd people, wej have as much right to the pecans as j anybody else. Only we shall be ob- j liged togoafternocn-1 and Saturdays. J o play for us until the nuts are gathered "And there are walnuts in tbe woods, besides !" Nuna Halpin cried. "I shouldn't be surprised if we made ever so much money !" "And I'm sure papa would ship them for us, aud attend to all the businoss," Amy said. "To-morrow's Saturday and if you say so, we will begin right off." So the next day the girls began I their work of cbaritv.

'I didn't see anything that would interest you," Eddie Ross answered "Well, yes, I do remember some thing queer. A tall, strange looking man came us to the train before we started, but he spoke such bad En glish that no one seemed to under stand biai. But ttiere was a passen ger on the train who, after a while made out that he wanted to know about the railroad accident He had expected some relatives who had come from Europe. The conductor told him that three foreigners, one woman and two men, were killed, and he thought they must be his frinds. You ought to have seen how the poor fellow weut on, cry ing and wringing his hands." "Maybe he knew something about our deaf and dumb woman," Amy cried. '"Perhaps she waseneofhis friends. 0, Eddie ! why didu't you speak up and tell him about her?" "I never thought of it oace," Ed die answered, ''and I shouldn't hare had time if I had thought of it, for the train started off before he had finifhed asking questions." "Oh, maybe when she well she 11 be able to make us dersisnd where she wants to gets un- gV Alice said. we ought to have a good lot of nuts by this time. How many have we, Amy T "We have a barrel and a half of pecans already that's eighteen dol lars, and three or four of walnuts. P.i is going to ship them Saturday, and by that time we ought to have as many more. We're sure of forty dollars at least" But to the delight of the girls, fifty dollars in gold and silver wa placed in their hands a fortnight afterwards. As the woman was a foreigner.Judge Wright s;tid she would know noth- lug of American bank notes. So the coin had been obtained, and a l ing procession of children Sled to ibe cabin to give the money to her, for everv child who had assisted in the nutting felt that he or she htd a right to witness the presentation of tile gift The poor woman was sitting in l.er usual languid attitude, with her baby on her knee, and the children saw she had been weeping, for her largo blue eyes were swollen and red. Of course there was nothing to be said, but Amy, with a smile, wa.ked torward and laid the money in her hand, witli a gesture towards her companions indicating that it was a joint presett from them all. The woman looked at the money in a bewildered manner, and then with a strange little cry, threw her self on her knees and seemed to of fer up a frevent prayer. Her next movement, which was rather an embarrassing one for the children, was to seize the baud cf each in turn and raise it to her lips. The boys backed towards the door trying t.j escape, but she was too quick for them. Then with her eyes rainiug tears, she took a piece of charcoal from the fireplace, and, slowly and awkwardly, marked on tho whitewashed wall, "Herman Boegild, Jacksonville, Florida." Then followed some words in qeer characters and in a strange language, but the woman pointed to the name then to herself. "I understand !" cried Eddie Ras. ' She was going to Florida, to that Herman Boggild, when the accident occurred." "Oh, isn't it delightful !" Amy ex claimed, clasping her hands; "and she's got money snough to get there. I'll get pa to come right off and see :ib.ut it." But when Judge Wright reached the cabin, he could obtain no fur ther information from the mute than the names written over and over again. "She has evidently only le.irr.ed to write those names in En glish," he said. "But she wants to go to Florida to this Herman Boa yild, and we must send her there." A day or two later a southern bound traiu took the stranger and her child to Jacksonville. Her young friends accompanied her to the cars, and it was touching to see her farewell to them. On each hand she seemed to involk a "blessing, and by signs she made them write down their names on a piece of paper, which she carried to her lips, and then put it in her bosom. About six months after this, a man, well dressed, and evidently a foreigner from his broken English, stopped in Westville, and asked to be showen the wav to Judge v fight s, "lam her brudder," he said to the Jude'de dtafand dumb Minna you were goot to. I stop here on my way to thank you, and do bless- d children who help her. lam not poor man, and 1 want to pay .ou back." "No, no, my friend," said Judge Wrigbx "The children.who helped her by their own labor for no one else gave any money would be terribly hurt if you offered to pay them. Let them always feel that they have done a kind and worthy act And now tell me about oar sister, ly ?" She reached you safe- till you help her. Her boxes she sent to me by express de day belore de accident so dey got to Jackson- ville safe. I went to Alvord and dv told rne all de Germans were killed. Ach. what pain !" "Well, it is over now, and she must be happy to be sale with you." ; for bim to do ; but he was feeling "Ah, yes!" Herman cried.

The children the following winter received several barrels of fine oran ges from Minna Herzog and Her man Boggild.

In the celebrated whisky trials of 1S76 Emory A. Storrs was ehief counsel for Gen. Babcock. After the conclusion of the trial Mr. Storrs and a number of lawyers were gath ered in social intercourse. One ot the party took from his pocket a copy of Gough's celebrated apostro phy to wa,ter, and rwad it abud. When he had concluded Mr. Storrs jocularly observed, in substance, that that was nothing ; he could beat it himself. Thereupon the law yers called upon him to try it. Af ter a few minutes he arose, with a glass in his hand, to begia. A stenographer present took down the words. Through his kindness the Knoxville Journal publishes them for the first time, with substantially the above explanation. Holding up the glass, Mr. Storrs began , ' How do you expect to improve upon the beverage furnished by na ture? Here it is Adam's ale about the only gift that has descend ed undefiled from the Garden of Eden! Nature's common carrier not created in the rottenness of fer mentation, nor distilled over guilty fires !

Will it consume wages and income in advance, and rum men in business? No ! But it floats in gossamer clouds far up in l!;e quiet summer sky, and hovers in dreamy mist over the merry faces of all oursparkling lakes. It veils the woods and hills of! earth's landscapes in a purple haze, where the filmy lights and shadows drift hour after hour. It piles itself into tumbled masses of cloud-domes aud thunderbolts. Draws the elec tric flash from its mysterious hiding places, and seams and shocks the wide air with vivid lines of fire. It is carried by kind winds and falls in rustling curtains of liquid drapery over all the thirsty woods and fields aud fixes in God s mystic eastern heavens. His beautiful bow of promise, glorified with a radiance that seems reflected out of heaven itself. It gleams in the frost crys tals of the mountain tops and the dews cf the valleys. It siiently creeps up into each leaf in the myr iad forests of the world, and feeds, tints every fruit and flower. It is here in the grass blades of the mead ows, and there where the corn waves its tassals and the wheat does its billowing! It gems the depths of the desert with the glad, green oasis, winds itself in ocean round the whole eaith, and roars its hoar?e, eternal anthems on a hundred thousand miles t-f coast ! It claps its hands in the flashing wave-crests of the sea, laughs in tue little rapid brooks, kisses the dripping, moss covertd, old oaken well-buckets in a counties" hest of happy homes.

The man wh has done tbe most for the cause of labor in this coun try, and during the recent strikes has done more to put the Knights of labor in a favorable light before the general public than any other, is Terence V. Powderly. A contributor to the New York Hlir says : I had the pleasure of making Mas ter Workman Powderly 's acquain tance tbe other day. He looks more like a college professor or a well kept Boston literary man than a labor agitator. "Terry," as his friends delight to call him his full name is Terence V. is a man of middle stature, well knit compact figure, regular features, clear, keen eyes, that can look soft and persua sive, a good broad forehead, silky, drooping mustache, and a general air of refinement and capabiltity. He is the son of Irish 'peasants, was working for his bread at 13 years of age, has been collier boy, switch tender, blacksmith, practical ma chinist, private soldier, mechanical engineer, mayor of a turbulent city, and has organized and led the great est labor movement the worid has ever witnessed. In epeech he shows a certain lack of early and-well or dered training, but he is a writer of power and ability. His mind is of a naturally judicious cast and he carefully weighs bis words and opin ions. He is a devout Catholic, ab solutely temperate and undeniably incorruptible and true to his cause.

Every man on the town list helped to edit tbe thing ; that is, he g ive orders how it was to be edited ; dic tated its opinions, marked out its coarse for lt.and every time the boss failed ta connect he ttoyped his pa per. We were just infested with critics, and we tried to satisfy them all over. We had one subscriber who paid cash, and he wa more trouble to us than all the .est. He bought us once a year, body and soul, lor two dollars. He used to modify our politics every which way and he made us change our religion four times in five years. If we ever tried to reason with him he would threaten to stop his paper, and, of course, that meant bankruptcy and destruction, 'that man used to write articles a column and a half long, leaded long primer, and sign them 'Junius' or 'Veritas' or 'Vox Populi,' or some other high-sounding rot ; and then, alter it was set up he would come in, say he had chang ed his mind which was a gilded figure f epeech, because he hadn't any and ord r it to be left out.

The organization known as the I Knights of Lai iMr was organized on TlitnL-j"ivInT fl i 1 ni'.'I in Phil-.l- ment cutters associated with him. Thev formed what was i.fi.rwards known as Local A.-oeuiUv- No. 1, of the Knights of Labor. The Order was confined to garment cutter, but eventually other branches of indus try were orgamzsil undor the shield cf the Order. The organization grew sl.iwly un til Jan. 1, 1S7S. It was all that time without a recognized Lead. Through the efforts of a few energetic mem bers a general convention was held in Heading, Pa., on January 1, 1S7S, when the General Assembly was lormed, with Mr. Stevens as Grand Master Workman and Cbsrles H. Litchman, of MarbiehtaJ. Mass., as Grand Secretary. There were about 1.2-X) branches ftf the order formed up t :i thnt time. They worked secretly uutil January 1, 1Ss2, when the exitnce of tie Order wa3 publicly proclaimed. Since that time the growth of the Knights of Labor has been wonder ful and enormous. So creat has been ths increase that the chief offi cers have decided not to allow any more branches to be started until after April 15. To gain admission, a person must be engaged in some honorable branch of industry. Both sexes are admitted to membership. As a rule, it is useless to apply for member ship, because it is a rule of the Or der to select members- Thus a per son may be proposed and rejected without ever knowing it. Men are usually proposed by friends who judge them worthy of fellowship. Business men can join. In an Assembly ona h'lndr'd strong, seventy-five meinbeis at least must be employes. Meetings as a rule are held week ly, but some Assemblies do not meet so often. The Order is noj oath bound. Each member takes a solemn pledge, and if he violates it he is expelled and black-balled all over the coun try. Violation of the rules renders a member liable to a suspension ranging from one to five years. There arr- two kinds of Assem blies trade- ii'iti mixed Assemblies. A trade Aseeir.bly is one composed of men engaged at one special branch of in lus-'.ry. A mixed Assembly is composed of mechanics, laborers, professional men and so on. Local Assemblies are governed by a District Assembly, wbich may in clude five or five hundred Local As- semMies.

Major General was a brave division commandf r, noted for his caution and prud-nce as wtil as tor hi? gal lantry. His engineer officer was an old man, and while making a survey of the country between the federal and t.or.iKitriU nnes lormea tn I acquaintance of saver?! young and accomplished ladies, daughters ef a widow living just outside oar lines. The young ladies were intensely rebel. On the strength of their acquaint ance with the engineer they called on the General, introducing them selves as strong Union women and friends of the engineer. The Gen eral was captivated, and gave them passes (they lived on his front) in and through the lines at will till further orders. The engineer was absent at the time, but on bis return he told the Genral that he was sold, as thy were "Secesh"' and no mistake. They frequently called on the General as they passed to and from town, and finally they invited him and his part to a euchre party and supper to be given at their house the following night, supper to be at 11 p. M. The General accepted the invitation for himstif and staff. He knew them to be very fascinat ing, and believed them to be truly loyal. The engineer was absent on that day, but on his return he remonstia ted agninst going in the strencest terms, knowing it to be a trap. The General and his staff would not be lieve it however, and were deter mined to attend the party. The following day, as the last re sort, the engineer called on Major General Geoige II. Thomas, who commanded the corps, told him tie story, and asked him to order the General to report to him in person at 9 p. m., the hour the General and his staff were to attend the party, on a pretext of desiring to consult with him on very important matters. General Thomas complied with the request, and promised not to giva away the engineer. About au hour before the time of starting for the party the General received the order. Of course, the order had to be obey ed, much to the disappointment of the Geritr.il and his staff. The staff officers being very anxious to attend, the General concluded to let tbem go, provided his engineer would go with them. The engineer consented to go with them on condition that the staff and the commanding olii- cer of tho General's escort vu::y mounted men) be ordered to report for duty to the engineer. This would give him command. The order was given and they reported. The Gen eral reported to General Thomas, and the stari' and escort attended the party. Tiie Federal lines were in the timber, a short distance from the cienrtd field.- of the plantation. The co::; ::i.ir.dir.g officer of the escort attei.ded the party, leaving in command a veteran sergeant who after receiving instructions from the eLg neer, secreted himself in an ar bor near the window on the back side- of the dining room, wnere he could hear a eignai given by the en gineer. The young ladies gave the sUif a warm rtception, and after re questing them to leave their side arms in the hall with thsir hats, es corted them to the parlor, where there were half a score of pretty feminine rebels, glad, of course, to see them. Cards and small talk pleasantly killed the time until supper. At 11 sharp supper was announced. The engineer selected a seat near the back window, s as t be in close proximity to the sergeant of the es cort When ail were seated there were two vicant places at the table. Ia a few mir.utes the ball do--r open ed and in came two rebel officers, a captain nd a lieu'enant followed by a Ele-of armed men. The cap tain politely informed the staff tnat they could consider themselves pris oners ef war. This wa?, of course, conceded, the engineer asking per tr.ission fur the p ir!y to fini.-h their supper, and inviting the officers to occupy the two vacant seats. This was ac.-enied to. In a few mon etts the engineer gave the signal, the house was immediately surrounded, and the sergeant with a file of men entered the dining room. Supper was finished, cards resum ed, and all except the rebsand their lady friends had a pleasant time nr.til about 3 o'clock in the morning, when the staff returned to head quarters, taking with them the two officers and their soldiers, ss well as the two lady friends. All of tbe prisoners wtre turned over to tbe Provot Marshal General of the ar my, and at the sucestion of the en- ' R CT the two vour.g ladies were searcuei and upon their persons were found plans of the town and the surrounding country, location of troops, batteries, tc, "for the use of General Brasg. The young ladies then admitted that the pb was put up for the two i officers, to whom thev were enznsed ; A Diver Experience). I Mr. Mitchell, a diver who nearly , , , .- .
