But still these amtties are constantly

every free man was a soldier, and the

subordinated to the claims of military
service." Each nation says it is arm
in-r otilv for defence but some of
them have already armies of defenco
more numerous than" any ollensive
army that cad be brought against
them, i or. says the June
"Germany has a total army of 1,

twice as large as the entire ofionsive
acmy of European and Asiatic Russia
aud lulls very little snort ol lite com

Within the lat fifteen years she has
almost doubled her standing army

sive part of it in an even larger pro
portion, fohe has now wo.iW sol

self, and 322,000 with whom she can
attack her neighbors. If we measure
her defensive forces with an v other na

are considerably in excess of most,
The very preteuce of reason thus alto

trim which will be the signal of the
next great war will be bred by her.
NO TIME TO CirilEK.
There was a little incident at tbe
second National Bank of Winona,
Minn., on rriday last, which Uie lie
publican describes thus: "Some time
tlurintr the forenoon a man called in
and got some large .bills exchanged
At noon, while the occupants of the
bank, with the exception of Willii-.tu
Gurlpck, Jr., were gone to dinner, a
stranger entered and asked to see the
manager, but on being informed that
ho was out, the stranger asked if he
could step into 'the director's room and
wait for him. Mr. Uarlock didn't ex
actly like the idoa, but consented, and
the stranger stepped through the open
door and took a seat in the room, from
which another door communicates with
the interior of the bank. Presently
another man came in and was instant
ly recognized by Mr.. Oarlock as the
one who had the bills changed in the
moruing. He stepped to the counter
and made a singular inquiry as to
whalju certain sum of money would
amount to if deposited .for a minor
child of thirteen years, and left at
compound interest for a term of years,
which he slated. As this problem was
propounded the individual in the di
rectors' room moved over to a chair '
commanding a view inside of the coun
ter. Oarlock in an instant suspecting
a ruse from' the actions of tho man,
quietly took a revolver from a drawer
aud informed tbe individual at the
counter that he hud no time to figure
on any such question, aud the fellow
dropped his head and walked out.
Singularly enough, in a minute or two,
the man in tho directors' room also
passed out. Oarlock was this morning
presented with a handsome now revol
ver by tho directors of the bank.".

they heard of the interment of aT mys

to resurrect the remains. That night
Smith and his friends started out with
out a lantern, but with plenty of spades
and shovels. When llicy came to the

the eurtti was apparently fresh. T!in
they began to dig. lhey dug for twt

that they must have been at the wrong.

particular burial ground. ' It was get

determined to try once more. Just as
thev removed tho first shovelful of
earth, Smith, who had been wandering
around the place meanwhile, suddenly
said, in a mournful voce:
lioys, 1 think we had better go
home.now.
"Why? What for?" they asked
"Well, I think anyhow we'd better
knock oil' now on account of various
things."
"What Jo you mean what d ynu

"Well," said Smith, "I think it

but principally because we've been
rootin' 'round here all night in a mar

They did go home. They had got

Hero is a story said to be strictly
true. During the late war, a French
General had upon his staff a certain
volunteer civilian, who had several
times shown signs of unwillingness to
expose his perron. One morning the
General said to him, "Get on horse
back, sir; ride beyond our lines till
you see the Prussians; draw fire.if you
onn ; Ihei., when you have made out
where their outposts exactly are, come
aud report to me. J he gentleman
trotted for two hundred yards, pulled
up, and thought he would go no fur
ther. Finally, after a quarter of an
hour of fear, he decided to rido home
again. As he reached the cottage
where the General was waiting for
him, the latter looked up, saw him,
and exclaimed: "What? not gone
yet? Start instantly, sir! 1 hereupon
the individual in question glanced with
terror at the Genera', and after a few
seconds of hesitation, turned his horse
sharp round and rode off at full gallop
toward the rear, the Ueueral snatch
ed out his revolver, hred at him, and
put a bullet through his tluoat. He
was carried to an ambulance, remained
there for six months, until, in the
excitement of the Commune, he was
quite forgotten. He then came out
with a doctor's certificate, obtained
with that document the sympathy of
people who knew nothing of the tacts,
and finally, on the ground that be had
been "wounded before the enemy, on

SARCASTIC ROMANCE.
Appearing in a Nashville paper,
whether original or not, and credited
to one J. mteman hmith, is a tremend
ous romance ot acts in f ayctieviiic,
from which the appended chaste des
criptions of the lovers may be taste
fully quoted :
llo was voiing, he was lair, nnd ne
inned his hair, like the uverae beau,
in the middle ; he was proud, he was
bold, but, the truth must be told, he
played like a demon the fiddle. Jiiit,
asido from this vice, he was everything
nice, and his heart was so loving and
tender, that he aUays turned pale,
when he trod on the tail of tho cat ly
iug down by the fonder, lie clerked
in a store, and tho way that ho lore
oil culioo, jeans aud brown sheeting,
would have tickled a cair, and made
brute laugh in the faco of a quarterly
meeting, lie cut quite n dash with a
darling moustache, which - lie learned
to adore aud to cherish ; for "one. girl
had said, while she drooped her proud
head, that 'twould kill her to sue , the
thing perish. On Sunday he'd search
the straight road to the church, On
heeding the voice of Ibe ecoruer; and
demurely he sat, like a young tabby
cat, with tbe saints in the fur amen
corner. He sang like a bird, nud his
voice could be heard bravely tugging
away a long metre, and we speak but
the truth, when we say that this youth
coulu ont-sinu a hutigry mosquito,
She was young, ehe was I'uir, and
she scrambled her hair, like the aver
age belle of the city; she was proud,
but not bold yet the truth must be
told, the way she chewed wax. was a
nitv. But aside from thia vice, she
was everything nice, and tho world
much applauded her bustle: and the
Fayetteville boys, being calmed by the
noise, walked miles just to hear the
thing rustle. She cut quite a swell,
did this wax chewing belle, and the
men flocked in armies to meet her ;
but she gave them tho shirk, for sho
loved the young clerk who sung like a
hungry mosquito. So sho hemmed
and she hawed, aud sho sghed and
she "chawed." till her heart and her
iaws were both broken ; then she walk
ed by the store, where he stood at the
door, awaiting some nmative token.
She raised up her eyes with a'prctty
surprise, and tried to enact the proud
scomor; but, to tell the plain truth,
she just grinned at the youth who so
loved the devout amen corner.'
THE l'OJ.l.HII WIFE.
During tho troubles in Poland,
which followed the revolution of Thad-
deus Kosciusko, many of the truest
and best of the sous - of that ill fated
couutry were forced to flee for their
lives, forsaking home and friends. Of
those who had been most eager forlhe
liberty of I nland, and most bitter lu
enmity against Kussia and Prussia,
was Gicbael Sebieski, whose grandf'ath
er had been Kiug a hundred and fifty
years before.
- Sebieski had three sorts iu thePntri
ot ranks, and father and sons had
persisted in what the Russians had been
pleased te term rebellion, and a prico
had been set upon their heads.
ihe Archduke Constantino was en
ger to apprehend Michael Sebieski,
and learning that the wife of the
Polish hero was at her home in Cra
cow he waited upon her.
"Madam," he said, speaking polite
ly, for the lndy was beautiful and
queenly, "I think you know whero
your husband and your sons arc.hid
ing?"
"I know, sir."
"If you tell me where your husband
is, your sons shall bo pardoned.
"And shall I be safe?"
"Yes, madam. I swear it. Tell mo
where your husband is concealed, and
both you and your son shall rcmaiu
unharmed."
"Then, sir," answered tho noble wo
man, rising with a dignity sublime,
and laying her baud upon her bosom
"he lies concealed here in -the heart
of his wife, and you will havo to
tear that heart out to find him."
Tyrant as ho was, the Archduke ad
mired tho answer, and the spirit which
inspired it and deemed tho good-will
of such a woman worth securing, he
forthwith published a full pardon for
ihe father and the tho sous. Ar. Y,

In Southern Texas there is a catlln

When he went there. ho picked ii a
do7.cn cows and branded them. 11

of a wife, two or three gtins.a few dogs
and two or three horses. He kept
watch over his cows and lived in a
hand-to-mouth way for several years.
subsisting his faniily by the capture of
game nnd the sale ot skins.
In .May, IS 1 3, be owned oO.uuu bead
of cattle duly branded, ranging over
tha plains. He has a lamily of nine
children, five of whom are boys. His
oldest child is a girl nineteen years of
age. She trots nrqund with haw feet,
can rope a steer, kill a wolt with a
rifle, or strangle a dog at arm's length.
In the man s house is a nan keg
ncailv filled with gold coin, while, in
the pantry is a flour barrel almost full
ot silver pieces. hen he seis cattle
it is for coin, which is dumped on ine
premises, lie will not. take paper '
money at any rate, but is always ready
to sell rtecrs for gold or Bilver.
His bovs are all familiar with guns,

The house occupied by this prosper
ous family is low, built of logs and
contains three rooms. Tho father and
mother sleep lb' the dining room, the
girls sleep iu the ' spare room, while
the boys sleep in the addition, ihe
girls do not know much about honiton

quick as an Ohio woman can get up

THE NEW atl'BHTlTCTE FOR COAL.
It was stated a short time ago that a
Belgian peasant hud made the extra
ordinary discovery that earth, coal
and soda, mixed together, would burn
as well as, if not belter than any other
combustible. 1 he fact, has siuce then
been proved beyond a doubt. The
Parisian paper, the Moniieur, has gone
so far as to make the" experiment at
its printing office. A correspondent
31 tho Journal of the oectefy of ArU
has also tested the compound with the
most satisfactory results. The mixture
was made ns follows: To 15 lbs. of
mould were added 3 lbs. of powdered
'coal ; uJso ono piut of a solution of
common washing soda water, 'ono;
pint; soda, one ounce. The mass was
worked up after the fashion of mortar.
and then made into, balls nbout tho
Bize of a large orange. Half a dozen
balls in the wet state were put on u
coal fire, which was not burning very
brightly. In a short time the moi.i
turo was driven off, and tho ball
quickly became red-hot, giving out a
strong heat, and apparently burned
slowly without falling to pieces, tho
soda no dnubt acting as a flux. Tho
balls on being touched with a poker,
broke into lumps, which burnt like
cinders, yielding a' fire clear at tho
top. It was observed that after the
moisture was driveu off the balls burut
without a sorakc. The ash was ap
parently of a heavy character, differ,
eut from coal ash.
