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.

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. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of tho mucous lining of the
tustachlau Tube. When this tube nets in
flamed you liavon rumbling sound or imper
fect hearing, and when it Is entirely closed
deafness is tho result, and unless the inflam
mation can be taken out and this tube re
stored to itß normal condition, hearing will bo
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but au in
flamed condition of tho mucous surfaces.
