SPRING is com
And everyone needs to put
their system in Ood condition,
to guard against disease that
may pve you serious trouble
during the Spiingand Summer
months. Simple remedies are
generally whnr is needed. We
carry a very superior stock of
JDruys and Medicines,
and "uarantee the strictest pu
rity. "'c make a specialty ofj
filling physicians prescriptions
and iamily receipts. None but
the Purest Drugs dispensed.
We endeavor to keep in stock
everything: that is usually wan
ted bv our many customers,
but anything we mav not have
at O
jwill be ordered in at once, on
short notice.
But to change the subject
You may be ruptured, and if
so, we can supply vou with
Trusses and Support
ers at prices much below those
in the city, or, as we do all oi
our own ritting, can safely say
that a perfect fit will be guar
anteed. Ihree-fourths ol the
Trusses sold do not give satis
faction, because they arc im
properly fitted to the body.
We have a private apartment
in connection with our store,
for the proper fitting of thc.e
goods.
Trusses for men, children and
ladies always in stock. If you
have had trouble heretofore in
getting fitted give us a trial
and we will guarantee a fit, or
money refunded. Do not for-
pet that we have a most com
plete stock of Spectacles
and Eye-glasses. Eyes that
others have lailed to fit, are the
ones we want to try. Always
call at my store when in town.
You will be welcome, whether
you buy or not. If we do not
keep what vou want, it will be
pleasure to tell you where
you can

TWILIGHT.
Slowly, slowly fails night's car tain
Over all tbe widespread I tnd ;
And tbe angeli of tbe tailigbt
At the gates of heaven stand.
Lo, tbey come, a band of angels.
Clad in robes of ten ler jrray ;
And before their gracious presence
Fades the sun"s last lingering ray.
In tae wet a blaz? of glory
Tuni9 the sty to molten goid ;
In the east the faint gray shadows
Of the coming eight unf jld.
Twilight brings us loving, tender
Thoughts of dear ones passed away.
Who have gone front out earth's twilight
Into everlasting day.
Twiiight memories are saddest,
Twilight hopes are grand and strong.
And the shijfl we locg have waited
Come to shore at even song.
In the qniet hush of twilight
We may re.t both heart and hand ;
We may dream of gorgeous castles.
Kaised in St ain's iar distant lan-i.
Life has much of sunlight glory,
Iays whose splendor blinds our sicbt.
It has much of sorrow's darkness.
When all seems the blackest night.
So, with loving hearts slid trusting,
Should we prize thetwilij-bt time,
When the stars in silvery beauty
l'p the heights of heaven climb.

''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

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

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

we didn't understand her, how ehe

heart would break ? Oh if we could
only help her in some way ! "

"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

"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. The colored !

S "When did you come back from
jAlvord, Eddie?'' asked one of the
Igir.s. Alvord was a town near which
j the railroad accident had occurred.
"What did yoa see or hear there?"
'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

the train started off before he had
finifhed asking questions."

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

"lam her brudder," he said to
the Jude'de dtafand dumb Minna

"No, no, my friend," said Judge
Wrigbx "The children.who helped

terribly hurt if you offered to

The children the following winter
received several barrels of fine oran

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 ,

and the country in cabbage and

then we always stated the fact in the
paper, and gave them a puff; and it
we lorgot it they stopped the paper.
Every man on the town list helped
to edit tbe thing ; that is, he g ive

failed ta connect he ttoyped his pa

critics, and we tried to satisfy them
all over. We had one subscriber
who paid cash, and he wa more

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

The Knight of Labor.
! 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. The District Assembly is
in turn governed by the General
Assembly. j

The Trap orKs-bel HeaiiHc.
1 Th Ann i.f iSaCtimberlantl wad
in camp at Murfrefsixro. 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 strong pull for more air, hut he
got no reply. In a moment he felt
his eyes begin to protrude, and then
there was a sharp pain as though a

was pulled off." Then he lost con
