HE THRASHED THE BULLY. HOW A SOLDIER WON AN OFFI CER'S COMMISSION, A Good War Story Told by Ex-Gorer-. nor Curtin, of Pennsylvania—Tho Result of a Midnight Row. Amos J. Cummings relates in the New York Sun a war story, which he heard ox-Governor Curtin of Pennsylvania tell during the last session of Congress. The incident occurred in the second or third year of the war. The Governor had left Harrisburg, and come to Washington on j business. A great battle had been "fought. The number of killed and wounded had mounted into the thousands. Governor Curtin had been in consultation with the President and members of his Cabinet, j He had returned to the Capitol, where au old lady dressed in deep mourning ! accosted him. She was evidently very poor and nearly distracted. She wore old-fashioned black mits, and her habili ments of woe were worn and rusty. Her face was wan aud wrinkled, and her fin gers were toughened with work and gnarled with rheumatism. She had not heard from her boy since the sreat bat tle, and she had come to Washington in search of information. He had enlisted in a regiment raised in the mountains ol Pennsylvania, and had been at the front for more than a year. "Oh, Governor," she cried,.as tears, streamed clown her faded cheeks, "my boy never failed to write before. He al ways sent me a letter after a battle. I haven't heard from him now in more than a fortnight. He's the only boy left nie, and I can never live without him. Oh, 1 fear he's dead or sorely wounded. If I could only get through tho lines to nurse him or bring his body back home. Please, Governor, try to get me a pass, ; and God will bless you. My heart will break without my boy.'' Tho Governor said that ho heard the number of the regiment with a shudder. It had been in the very heart of tho fight, and had been cut to pioccs. Ilis heart went out to the old mother. If her boy was alivo he was determined that she should see him, or if dead that she should have his body. Upon ques tioning her he found that she was ut terly destitute. She hadn't even money enough to pay for a night's lodging. He , assured her that he would do what he i could for her. He would see either the President or the Secretary of War iu the : morning and got her a pass through the lines. Then ho took her by the arm and escorted her down stairs. Passing out under the arch of the Senate wing of tho • Capitol he hailed a cab. Gallantly as sisting the old lady into it he paid the cabman his fee, and told him to drive j his charge to a hotel where the Governor i was well known, and where he had sent i many a destitute friend. As the cab ! rattled away the Governor turned tore- ! enter the Capitol, when he met John Sherman, Hen Wade, and Gelusha A. Grow, then Speaker of the House. The ! Senate had adjourned, and they were on their way home. It was a clear night, i The great temple of national legislation shone in the moonlight like a palace of alabaster. The city lay below them, 1 dotted with gas lights. The music of a drum was heard away oil on the right. 1 A railroad train had arrived with a new regiment, and the troops were seeking | quarters at the Soldiers'Kest. The four statesmen descended Capitol Hill together. They drifted down Penn sylvania avenue, conversing on political topics. They had halted on a corner near the National Hotel preparatory to separating, when a cab was driven to the curb near by. Its driver was in alterca tion with a woman inside the vehicle. Governor Curtin was even then telling the Senators and Speaker the story of his meeting with the old lady in the Capitol. The altercation attracted his attention. The driver was using vil lainous language. He insisted that his passenger should leave the hack then and there, or he would pull her out. " Something told ms," said the Gov ernor, "that it was my old lady who was in trouble." He stepped to the door of the hack and looked in. The suspicion was con firmed. She was the old woman whom he had sent to the hotel, and she was in trouble. The driver had not taken her to her destination. He had stopped at two or three saloons, and spent nis fee for liquor. Possibly he had forgotten where the old lady was togo, but ut aU events he had determined to drop her on the street and let her shift for herself. He was tilling the air with profanity and threatening the poor old woman with violence. The Governor was indignant. He asked the hackman whether lio had not paid him to take the old lady to a specified place of shelter. The driver swore that he had never seen him before, and threatened to punch his head if he did not mind his own business. The Governor's indignation was getting the better of his judgment. Sherman and Grow tried to calm him, but old Ben Wade grew as hot as a bird pepper and swore like a pirate. He not only wanted the hackman thiashed, but he wanted to help Curtin thnish him. The driver was u giant. He laid his whip across the foot rest of his hack and squared away. He evidently meant to down not the Governor alone, but the Senators and the Speaker. Things were looking decidedly squally •when a boy in blue came along, lie carried a musket, and wore the tail of a buck in his cap. The Governor recog nized the insignia. The soldier was a »>ember of Colonel Kane's famous Buck- Uil Brigade. Over six feet tall, he was brawny and well proportioned. Ho looked like a raftsman, and he swung the avenue as if the world was too small for hira. He was promptly hailed. "Do you know me?" the Governor asked. "Yes," was the reply. '-You're Andy Curtin, Governor of Pennsylvania. I've ■ten you many a time at home and in tho field." "I want vou to do me a favor," tho Governor continued, pointing to the b'ekman who had already begun 10 oKirmish with Ben Wade. The boy in blue sensed the situation in a twinkling. Turning to the Gover nor, he said: "Hold my musket." Then he jumped between Ben Wade and the cabman and sailed in. It was a rough and tumble worthy of the days of Poole and Morrissey. The raftsman proved too much for the bully. He had S terrific struggle, but finally literally mopped the sidewalk with him. The hack email looked M if he bad been through a.fanning mill. Governor Curtin ascertained the name of the soldier, and placed "the old lady in | his charge. She arrived at her destina -1 tion without further trouble. On the I nest day he secured passes for her, and she went to the front for her boy. Two weeks afterward Private Fox of the Bucktail Brigade received an order directing him to report at the Adjutant- General's office in Harrisburg. Trans portation and supplies were furnished. It was a bright and sunny morning when he entered the city. Without do&y he sought the office of the Adjutant-Gen eral. There he was told that the Gov ernor wanted to see him. ,The way to the Executive chamber was pointed out. The soldier entered with his haversack swinging at his side. The Governor stood noar a table, talking with a friend. He saw Private Fox approaching him. The soldier was awkward and very much embarrassed. "Good morning, Lieutenant," said tho Governor, "I'm glad to see you." "Why, Governor,'' replied the boy in blue, "you make a mistake. I'm not n Lieutenant. I'm only a private." "It is you who make the mistake," the Governor replied, with a smiling face. "You were only a private last night, but you are a Lieutenant this morning. Here is your commission." It was the commissibn ot a First Lieu j tenant. The parchment was gratefully accepted. The soldier expressed hig thanks. He was modestly asserting a doubt as to his merits, when the Gover nor replied: "I know your record. You can truthfully say that you won your rank by service on tho battlefield." The Governor dispensed the usual hos pitalitios and Lieut. Fox departed. His fate showed that he richly merited tho distinction. Within three months ho became Captain and afterward Major. He was shot through the heart while leading his regiment as its Lieutenant-Colonel in a charge at Spottsylvania. WISE WORDS. Slang is the wart on language. Men have sight; women insight. A broken silence is never repaired. Good humor is the bluo sky of the soul. Silence is less injurious than a weak reply. Energy is the sand in the craw of en terprise. Every kind of work that we can't do looks easy. We take less pains to bo happy than to appear so. Man is cold as ice to truth, but hot as fire to falsehood. A little woman can tell just as big a lie as a big woman can. Distrust of yourself really means con scientiousness of wrong. You can't climb a telegraph pole by shinning up % fence post. Shallow men believo in luck; strong men believe in cause and effect. Your bank account, unlike yourself, never gets tight by getting full. Nothing but a mule occupies less space than his hind foot and makes less noise. Every life is a center, and all things are made for it as if there were no other. Tie a coward's hand behind him and you give him an additional reason to boast. Growth of Business in the Sonth. Eight columns of the Baltimore Manu facturers' Record are occupied by Super intendent Porter, of the United State* Census, on the wonderful progress of thu South and the intrinsic merits of South ern investments. He shows by compara tive statistics that the mineral develop ment of that section and its increase of manufacture during the last decade have been of such magnitude and impor tance as to "seriously attract the atten tion of the world." In no part of the couutry is there a more satisfactory show ing of industrial advancement. Com pared with the situation oven in 1880 this advancement is wonderful, with that of 1870 it is amazing, with the condition of things at the close of a devastating war it reads like a tale of magic and suggests a miracle. Look at the cities that have grown up in this period—Anniston, -with its population of nearly 10,000, where ten years ago the number of inhabitants was less than 1,000; .Birmingham, un known in 1870, now a flourishing town of 20,000, and the centro of industrial activity of 75,000 people; Florence, Sheffield, Chattanooga, Johnson City, Tenn.; Koanoke,VVa t and a hundred similar examples of prosperous growth due to the evolution of mineral industries that prior to 1860 were slumbering, un developed, almost unheard of forces. Mr. Porter cites the astonishing facts that the South is to-day producing as much coal, iron ore and pig iron as the entire United States produced in 1870; that enough iron ore exists in Eastern Ten nesseee to supply the Southwest with steel and iron for a thousand years, and in the same part of the same State enough coals beds already discovered to snpply the same great section with coal for a century; that Kentucky and Esst Ten nessee abound in superior coking coal, and that the out-put of the coal-produc ing State of the South in 1890 was more than twice that of the whole country in 1800. It is also the opinion of Mr. Por ter that during the next ten years the manufacture of steel will increase in as great a proportion as the product of coal and pig iron has increased in the ten years just past. But it is not alone in the development of her mineral resourc es that the South is thus forging to the front. Georgia has become the fourth in the list of marble-produring States; Arkansas leads all the othe: Southern States in the output of lumber, and in West Virginia, Tennessee, and Ken tucky the manufacture of lumber has in creased 158 per cent, in the last decade; the product of the 3,382 saw mills of the South is valued at 8112,879,000; thu number of cotton miilt has increased from 150 to 30tt, and of the total cotton crop of the world the South grows about three-fourths, or an annual average o? 7,000,000 bales.—[Washington Post.

With the marriage at Steelviile, Mo., of William J. D. Kelly to Miss Anna Mc- Donald, of Oakville, Canada, is con nected quite a romance. The groom is a well known young man, living on a farm with his widowed mother, well-to-do, though deaf and dumb. A year or two ago ho noticed in the papers a recom mendation of some kind of ear trumpet by the above named young lady who is also a deaf mute. A correspondence en sued, the tender chords of sympathy and emotion were aroused and an engagement followed. The heroic young bride left her far off Canadian home to meet her distant affianced. For six days and alone she traveled, but came safely through. This was three weeks before the mar riage, and the intervenirg time was spent in forming each other's acquain tance at the groom's home, with the re sult that the nuptials were celebrated amidst tha congratulations of a host of friends.— St. Louis Republic. A Flower That Changes Color Daily. During the summer of 1890 the botan ists made a wonderful discovery in Te huantepec, having established the fact beyond a doubt that the native "hinta" has a flower that changes its color three or more times each day when the wea'her is favorable. In the morning it is white; at noon it has chauged to a deep red; at night it is blue. It is even claimed that some individual trees of this species have a flower that changes to many intermediate hues during the night. There are only two hours out of twenty-four—from 11 A. M. to Ip. M. —that this rarity gives out a perfume. DraliieaM Can't be Cured By local applications, an they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear.
