- - - I I Saw Waterloo and Napoleon. From lh New York Herald. The luitUe of Waterloo was fought ou June 18, W5, aui the hundreds of thousands of nu-n who strujrled that day fr supremacy have all paused away except two in America, four in the British Isles and six in France, and most of those men are centenarians. Jam It. rwn, 9S years old, a resi dent of Ellsworth, Mahoning county, Ohio, while not a participant of th great battle, had the privilege of wit nessing the thrilling events of that week iii lteljrium which marked the downfall of the Napoleon dynasty and who viewed that battle from a better vantage pround perhaps than any of the participants. He gave a vivid dewription recently of t he 1 ki! t le of Waterloo. Mr. ; recti is a remarkable character and jios-sess- a Ktrikin personality, which imprcKses all w ho come in con tact with liiio. He was born in liol ton, Incashire, England, July H", 17!, and entered the English navy w hen 1 years old as a midshipman. The next year his ship was employed in transjioriing English soldiers for Wellington's army across the Chauuel from Southampton to Antwerp, and it was at this time that he accidentally witnessed Waterloo. He describes the battle as follows : 'I was a sailor lad of King George III, and was employed as a midship man on a warship in June, 1S15. After the British fleet had transported Wel lington's army across the Channel to the seaport of Antwerp, my vessel was anchored in the harbor at that place. The soldier had told me that great fighting was expected, as they were about to meet Napoleon, who was mak ing a desperate effort to regain the pow er which he had on-e held over Eu rope. Securing permission, five boys, myself included, left the ship and started across Belgium in the direction we were told the British army was camping. We came first to Liguy, where the preliminary battle of that terrible week in Belgium took place. We were two miles distant from the left flank of Napoleon's army after Ligny, and we concluded to follow and watch the encounter. "At tuatre Bras Naiwleon attacked theoutjosts of the Duke of Welling ton, but lie was repulsed, falling back to Watcr'nK) that night, where he deter mined to make his final stand. The French army bivouacked in large fields of rye, which was almost ripe, on the pretty plain of Waterloo. On the night of June IT there was a continuous rain storm, making it very disagreeable for the soldiers. The clouds cleared away on the following morning, and with a sea glass which we had taken from the fhip we sUkh! on the heights some dis tance away and saw the great struggle. "We could see Napoleon ou his charger, riding his lines preparing for the liattle. The lines were formed, and wton the field was filled with smoke, and he roar of c a anon reverberated th"ough the hills of Iklgium. In'the afternoon the fierce struggle ceased, and the field w as a sickening sight. The green rye had been trampled down, and the field was nothing but dust, like the middle of the road, while the dead and wound ed lay scattered thickly over the great plain. "After the battle we went over the field and saw some dreadful sights. "I can remember distinctly seeing Blueher, Napoleon, the Duke of Wel ti ngti n an d George I V. I remember see ing i Jeorge III. and his couriers riding down to the Iondon docks upon many a morning. During the reign of Wil liam IV. I remember having seen Ouecu Victoria in a villa near Loudon, playing in a garden, and I have dis tinct remembrances of the last four ruling monarchs of the House of Han over. "Napoleon was a cruel tyrant and if you had known him in the age which I knew him 3-011 would have thought no, too." To Attempt to Care Catarrh by the use of so-called blood remedies means the expenditure of many dollars and derangement of the Stomach. That catarrh is not caused by blood troubles is self-evident when you reflect that attacks are always due to Midden climatic changes or expos ure to cold, and occur tuost frequently during the w inter and spring, though the blood is pure then as in summer or fall. A remedy which juie-kiy re lieves and by thorough treatment cures the catarrhal attacks has beeu found in Ely's Cream Balm. The green worms which eat into rose buds at this season cau lie kept in check to a great extent by dredging the plants with powdered hellebore. Mrs. Khodie Noah, of this place, was taken in the night with cramping puins and the next day diarrhoea set in. She took half a bottle of black lierry cordial but got no relief. She then sent to me to see if I had any thing that would help her. I sent her a buttle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cliol-t-ra and diarrhoea Remedy and the fir.t dose relieved her. Another of our neighbor had been sick for about a week and hud tried different remedies for diarrhoea but kept getting worse. I sent him this same remedy. Only f r J.wof it were required to cure him. lie says he owes his recovery to this wonderful remedy. Mrs. Mary Sibley, Sidney, Mich. For gale by lietiford's Pharmacy.

I rode into Bed Blanket, a cowry's town in Southwestern Texas, one sum mer morning, intending to buy sheep nd cattle, and found that a crowd of lynchers had caught a horse thief and were about to rope him up to a tree on the fair grounds, whither all the grown men and boys of Rod Blanket had gathered to sanction the proceedings by their presence. Now, I was still enough of a tender foot to turn siuk at the sight of a lynch ing bee, even though I knew the pris oner was guilty, as in this case they all assured me he was. But I like to have the law take its course, and de precate the illegality of a privte hang ing at the hands of Judge Lynch and his court. So I made up my mind in an instaut to make a plea for fair play. The prisoner was a mere youth, without any of the earmarks of his profession of crime, and I pictured his mother perhatis at that moment looking for tidings of her boy. However, I kept those semi-sentimental thoughts to myself, while I saluted the rough lead er of the lynching gang and asked carelessly if I might witness the pro ceedings. "You might, stranger, if you keep a mighty still tongue in your head," was the curt reply. I dismounted from my horse, a fine animal which I had Umght at El Paso, and I noted the admiring glances that were cast upon him by the cowboys, who adore a good horse. The proceedings had leen stayed for a moment by my coming, and I saw an imploring look thrown at me by the prisoner. "If you've got ennj thing tor say, out with it!' yelled the leader. "I never stole 110 bosses in my lifer' A groan of derision saluted him. "Bull him up, loys!" rang out the command. "Slay!" I cried, "t'ive me a word with this man. Let me look at his Units!"' I approached him and asked him to show me the soles of his boots. "Did he wear these when appre hended?" "Yes." "Look at them, gentlemen! This man is a tenderfoot. I doubt if he can mouut. He has worn neither stirrup nor spur!" They gathered around him, and I showed them the surface of the soles without corrugation or wear. "Tliat don't count," growled the leader. "Let me see your hand?" He held out a sturdy young paw that looked as honest as gold. I examined it and started violently. Gentlemen, this will never do. This hand tells the story of the boy's life. The palm here is hardened with toil. And this life-line. It ends in water. Gentleman, you dare not hang a man who is born to be drowned!" There was a confused murmur, but the leader still held the rotie. "Supjose we make a tet," I sug gested, "let us see if he can mount a horse. Try him on mine and I'll guar antee lie can not mount, if he is the land lublcr I take him to le." "Keep hold of the rope, Possum!" yelled a dozen voices. "You bet I will," came the response. I was taking my life in my hands, but I was determined to save the poor fellow if I could. As lie mounted which he did awkwardly enough I whispered under pretense of tighten ing the saddle girth : "Bide for your life to the Pan Han dle depot and leave the horse there!" My next move was to dig a steel pin, hidden in my hand, into my poor horse. Would the rope unseat the rider and my little game appear? It had just the contrary effect. It jerked Pos sum, as they called the leader, from his feet; as he fell, the roje flew from his hand and then, like an arrow from the bow, the prisoner was off. "Stop him! Stop him!" I yelled, and to aid in the confusion, I drew my revolver and fired wildly after him. Every man there followed my ex ample and there was a perfect fusillade of arms, but all missed. Then one and another sprang to horse, and rode like mad after the runaway. "They'll have fleet steeds that fol low," I quoted to myself, while I loud ly bewailed the loss of my good horse, and the treachery of the thief. "That's what you gets fur not mind in' yer own bizness," said the leader with a bitter scowl. "Perhaps you would like to hang me in his plat"?' I suggested. Was I susjiected? I can not tell, but the cowlioy is not vindictive and as I seemed to share in the general loss, I was allowed to go uumolested. But I think my little ruse of pulm reading had its effect too. There is always a leaven of superstition- ju those rough characters. I recovered my horse, but I never heard of its rider who so cleverly aided my plan in his lichalf. I dare say he was all they represented by the wi y he Pde out of the difficulty, but it was a race for life and I am glad he won. Chicago Times-Herald. INTERESTING TALK.

Patbetle Story of th Faaaowa Jockey ad the Steeplechaser Fatlga. Archer, the celebrated jockey, waa riding in a steeplechase, his mount being a horse called Fatigue. The man was fond of the horse, which returned his affection with liberal interest At the last fence the horse fell and broke hi leg. Archer, though of course thrown, fell away from the horse, and waa not badly hurt. The pathetic scene that fol lowed ii described by Vogue: He started away to deliver news of 3he accident and arrange to have the horse shot, bat was stopped by hearing a whinny. Poor Fatigne could only lift his head, bnt he waa looking after and calling the rider he lorcd eo welL Archer returned to the horse, and sitting down on the turf, took the poor creat ure's head in his lap, and sent a boy with a message far what was necessary. Meanwhile the horse lay still, except for an occasional spasm of pain. No one wanted to shoot poor Fatigne. A small boy finally volunteered, if no one else would, but he'd 4 'a heap ruther not" When the pb-tol was finally given him his small hands trembled 60 that Archer toot the wcatsjii froui him, say ing: "You're nervous lad; you'll bungle it He sha'n't have his pain added to. He'll never know what put him out of his misery." Addressing the horse, he added, "If I wasn't fond of you I couldn't bring myself to do it; but you sha'n't run risks of beiiig hurt more." With one hand he caressed the horse's bead, with the other he put the pistol to the forehead. "Good by. Fatigue, old chap, good by." and he pulled the trigger. Fatigue hardly struggled, but settled down, dead, with his head still on his favorite rider's lap; and Archer sat quite still till the last quiver was over. his head bowed, and did not notice tnat the red was staining his clothes. MR. GUMMERTON'S BESETMENTS. Troubled Most J ait Xow Owl a Whatnot la the Parlor. "In her latest rearrangement of the parlor," said Mr. Glimmerton, "my oldest daughter has placed in front of the whatnot a comfortable rocking chair in which I have always liked to sit The whatnot is a flimsy structure on legs so slender that they wabble when you look at them. Upon its shelves there are many delicate bottles and jars and vases and things that are always ready to fall off. " If I were not so eternally kept down, I should be a man of cheerful spirits. Even as it is I manage to keep my head above the slough of despond, but I have a pretty hard time of it what with one thing and another, and just now the whatnot in the parlor is one of my most trvinjr besetments. One cannot sit in the big chair now without danger of knocking the whatnot wer. The first time I tried it the chair rocked back and brought np against it All the bot tles and jars and vases on the shelves nodded violently, many of them beyond recovery, and these went down with that slight but compact crash that thin china makes when it falls. "Then I had to keep the whatnot al ways in mind. If I sat in the rocking chair at all, I had to sit in it can-fully. Once when I had forgotten about the great calamity and had jumped up rath er suddenly the chair rocked back and touched the whatnot again, this time. however, not so hard ; only a few things fell But now I have given up the chair altogether, for with the whatnot at its back it is no longer a comfort to me. "I look at the big chair longingly. and I fancy it looks with sympathy at me, and I wait with patient cheerful ness for the nest new arrangement, when the flimsy whatnot shall be on one side of the room and the comforta ble rocker on the other," New York Sun. WAYS OF THE CUCKOOS. Conclusions Derived From a Long Series of Observations la England. The London Field tells of the eggs of the cuckoo and of the foster parents as exhibited in a collection comprising 919 cuckoo egss and accompanying clutches, or 6cts, of the foster parents. These egg sets were owned by E. Bidwcll, Walter Rothschild, P. Crowley and a man not a member of the Britbdi Ornithologists' club, IL Maspoy, who had more than any other 275 cuckoo eggs and 50 fos teiers'. The conclusions w"hich have been arrived at in regard to the habits of this feathered tough are put down in one, two, three order, according to ob servations recorded. These conclusions give a curious and interesting insight into the ways of a bird, the like of which, insomuch as the habits are con cerned, ia found in the American cow bird. The eggs of the European cuckoo vary more in size and color (markings) than the egg of any other bird. These eggs are remarkable in their form, the weight of the shells and the thickness and hardness of the nbella. The eggs laid in the nests cf two kinds of birds (Rnti cilla pho?uicurus and Fringilla monti fringilla) are nearly always like the eggs of the foster parent. Furthermore, imitations are also common in nests of four other varieties, but are never found iu several species. It seems from this that the cuckoo has the power of laying eggs of a certain color or size resem bling those of the duped foster parents, in at least some instances. Most cuckoos lay their ejrgs in nests of some particu lar ppecies of bird, the nd breasts or reed warbler, for instance. Cuckoos change to other varieties of ue-sts only when they cannot find the accustomed ones, and they come to one district year of ter year. The female bird lays about 20 eggs in year, which is more than the respect able female birds of ordinary sjiecu'S. This is bocanrte of the precarious exist ence of the eggs, which are liable to be thrown to the ground by the birds in whose nest they are placed. One egg only is placed in one nest by the mother bird, which usually, though not always, throws out one of the original f pgs. One hundred and nineteen varietie of birds have been imposed upon by the cuckoo, and while most of these birds were small ones, warblers, flycatchers and the like, turtle, stock and ring doves little grclies, mapgies, jackdoves, and even the shrikes (four kinds), have given support to this race of beggars. The Pig's Croat. The continued grunting of the pig is of interest as revealing something of the conditions of life of his wild ancestors. A herd of swine scattered iu tbe long grass or among the brackens of a Euro pean forest would soon lose eight of one another. But the grunts of each would still advertise his presence to his neigh bors, and so the individual members of the herd would not lose touch with tbe main body. Then there are grunts aud grunts. If one of my readers will imi tate the ingenious Mr. Garner and take a photograph to the nearest pigsty, he tuigbt get material to make np a book on the language and grammar of the bog. However thick the jungle, the wild pig could, by taking note of the pitch and emphasis of tbe grunts to right and left of him, tell pretty much what his hidden colleagues were think ing about North American Review. csh Onions are almost the best nervine known, 6ays T:ie Housekeeper.

Gt-RMAN PAWNSHOPS. Bom Acs Maaatsd by Government and libera by Individuals. There is a royal pawnshop in Berlin, there are state pawnshops, ducal pawn shops, county pawnshops, city or muni cipal pawnshops and private pawnshops. The municipal and private pawnshops may both exist in the same town, lne rate of interest waa fixed by a law nassed in 1881 at not more than 24 per cent per annum on loans under 20 marks, and not over la per cent on larger sums. In Berlin the pawnshop is a royal in stitution, and is not allowed to make a profit Its surplus goes to charitable purposes. At Hanan no interest ia charged on loans up to 3 marks if the articles are redeemed within oix days. At Hof. in Baden, people are allowed to raise money, giving as security the re ceipt of their wages two or three weeks ahead. At Weimar and Ilanaa anonymous pawning ia the rule. No names are asked and no address is given. Prov ision is made at Memel for merchant- depos iting goods in time of temporary embar rassment At Bautzen raw wool is received in pledge. At Brouibcrg military accoutcr meuts are excluded from tbo articles which may be pawned. The pawnshop at Dermoid will not receive articles in pawn from servants without the consent of their masters. At Altenberg and ono or two other places no one is allowed to pawn articles of more than 100 marks' value without the consent of the town council. Although private pawnbrokers exist alongside the municipal institutions, in many towns the latter refuse to do busi ness with the former. Secondhand deal ers and pawnbrokers are especially pro hibited from resorting to the municipal pawnshop. A salutary regulation against dealing with pawn tickets is frequently enforced. The rate of interest fluctuates a great deal in Germany, and is highest for small sums loaned for short periods. The averrge is about 12 per cent and on loans issued against securities 4 or 5 per cent Berlin Letter. Cowslip and Bachelor's Button. The name of cuckoo flower is given to at least 10 different plants, cowslip to 8 or 9 and bachelur's button to more than 20. It is the same all over the world. Sir Joseph Hooker says that "throughout his travels he was struck with the undue reliance placed upon na tive names of plants, characterizing it as "an erroneous impression that savage and half civilized peoples have an accu rate knowledge of objects of natural his tory and a uniform nomenclature for them. " Dioscorides made the same ob servation, and Athena?us before him complained that the same plant was called by different names in different parts of Greece. It is, indeed, well known that plants have exchanged their names largely. The forget menot is a good instance of this. In all tbe old herbals the name is given to the ground pine ( Ajuga chamo epitys)on account of its offensive smell, and sometimes, also, to the speedwell. Mills, in his "History of Chivalry." in vented the legend of the drowning knifiht throwing the flower to his lady and fixed the n:tme on the pretty blue flower which had previously been called mouse ear, from its old Greek name, muosotis, aud both name and flower be came popular, but Punch, going back to its original associations, suggested it as a delicate name for tbe onion, and in Mexico the same name, "no me olvide, " is given to an orchid. Clote is another name that has been given to various plants. In the old glossaries and herbals it always means the great burdock, bnt it was gradually attached to other large leaved plants, and in Dorsetshire it is now given to the yellow water lily. Quarterly Review. Position and Sleep. How many people are in the habit cf troubling themselves about the exact point of the compass to which their heads happen to be pointed when they lay themselves down for their nocturnal rest? One might have gone on suppos ing, but for the irrepn-ssiblo Sir Benja min Richardson, that it did not in the least matter whether the head of one's bedstead were turned north, south, east or west But Sir Benjamin is full of theories on tbe subject, and now that be has expounded them we are ia a posi tion to know that if we "turn our face to the west, " like Daddy in the sen timental ballad, we ought to get the soundest sleep, because in that case "the earth's motion will tend to send the blood to the head." Here is a suggested cure for insomnia which is at least worth a trial, and in future a compass should be an indis pensable article of furniture in every well regulated bedroom. It may sadly disorganize not a few bedchambers to arrange the adoption of this westward position, which may in some cases cause almost as much trouble as the reverse position has occasiomd from time to time in the ecclesiastical world. But Sir Benjamin Richardson has spoken, and it only remains for thaw who ac cept him as an oracle to point their bed heads due west at all costj and without delay. Loudon Letter. X Rays Ia Piracy.
