The manner in which nick names attach to people and the clawlike tenacity with which they cling are really an interesting study. They are usually called out by some peculiar personal characteristic, and in their "meet ness or unmeetness" lies quite often as much pain as pleasure. The nomenclature of the army was particularly rich in descrip tive titles, and a study of the men upon whom these names were be stowed will make clear the fact that very few of them were illad vised or misplaced. General Ulysses SimpsonGrant was at first called "Old United States" from the initials of his name. After the little episode at Fort Donelson, when he issued the edict which stamped him.as equal to the emergency, his men enthusiastically declared that those initials stood for "Uncondi tional Surrender." In fact, those initials cost him not a little per turbation of mind, and in the end he actually had to abandon his baptismal name to save the digni ty of West Point, which unwitt ingly gave him a name that didn't belong to him, but since it was "writ down" the red tape compli cations involved in restoring his right name presented formidable obstacles which he hesitated to tackle. Many of his men called him "Old Three Stars," that in dicating his rank as lieutenant general. Later, when fighting the battle with the conqueror who soon or late subdues all flesh, he became known the world over as the "Silent Sufferer." . General William T. Sherman was familiarly called "Uncle Bil ly" by his men and also "Old Te cumseh." General George B. McClellan, who was a prime favorite with his men, became endeared to them as "Little Mac." General George G. Meade wore glasses and was speedily dubbed "Four-Eyed George" from that and from the fact that he was keen and quick and very little es caped his observation. The title was one of which he was proud, for lie knew it was not designed to cut t wo ways. General Ambrose E. Burnside, who relieved McClellan as com mander of the Army of the Potoj mac, was at first Colonel of the First Rhode Island, but when he came to the dignity of general he was titled "Khody." Incidentally it may be stated that General Burnside also gave the name to tho particular cut of "side burns" so much in vogue a few years since. "Tho general with his whiskers" was considered a very handsome figure. General Jos eph E. Hooker got the sobriquet "Fighting Joe" which ho hated generally, and the man who was spoiling for a 'scrap' could earn it easily by alluding to the doughty general'8 title in his presence. General Lew Wallace was called "Louisa," not that his men deem ed hi tn effeminate, but because they wanted someendearingtern; for a general to whom they were devotedly attached, and that was the first that suggested itself. The McCook family was well represented in tho war of the lie bellion, and tho various members were geuerally bunched as the "Fighting McCooks." General Alexauder McCook had as one of his staff officers Adjutant General Dan McCook, of Illinois. Other members of the family were Cap tain Edwin McCook, who belong ed to Logan's regiment; Lieuten ant Edward McCook, who was in the Regular army; Major Anson G. McCook of the Second Ohio; Captain Henry McCook, of Illi nois, and Sheldon McCook, lieu tenant in the navy. They bore themselves bravely and won the title "Fighting McCooks" where the battle raged fiercest. General Winfield Scott Han cock was known as "Hancock the Superb" a name given him by General Meade after the magnifi cent manner in which he repuls ed Longstreet at Gettysburg. General William S. Rosecraus was speedily dubbed "Rosy." Franz Sigel, the jolly German general, was familiarly known as "Dutchy." A Doctor's Bad Plight. "Two years ago, as a result of a severe cold, I lost my voice," writes Dr. M. L. Scarbrough, of Hebron, Ohio, "then began an ob stinate cough. Every remedy known to me as a practicing phy sician for 35 years, failed, and I daily grew worse. Being urged to try Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, I found quick relief.and for the last ten days have felt better than for two years."

Colonel John McKee, who died Sunday night last at his residence 1030 Lombard street, Philadel phia, as the result of a paralytic stroke, was one of the wealthiest colored men in this country. His estate is said to be valued between 1,500,000 and 2,000,000. At the time of his death he owned in Philadelphia over 300 houses, all of which were unencumbered. He was the founder and owner of McKee City, on the West Jersey Railroad, N. J., and he owned a tract of 4,500 acres, divided into twenty one farms. He also own ed about 300,000 acres of coal and oil lands in Kentucky and West Virginia, and 23,000 acres of land in Bath and Steuben couuties, N. Y. McKee was born at Alexandria, Virginia, in 1821. When a mere lad he was indentured as a brick maker in Virginia. Having fin ished his apprenticeship in the brick yard, ho went to Philadel phia, when about 21 years of age, andsecured a position in a restaur ant on Market street. He after ward became proprietor of the restaurant and conducted it until 18(50, when he retired from that business and entered actively up on the real estate business, buy ing and selling property for him self. He speculated largely in real estate and made money rap idly. He is survived by a daugh ter and six grandsons. The Great Dismal Swamp. Of Virginia isabreeding ground of Malaria germs.

Hill, who lived in Springfield 111., from 1830 to 1843 tells this characteristic story of Abraham Lincoln, with whom ho was personally acquainted : Ouco Lincoln was defending a man who was accused of cheatiug another man in a business deal. Lincoln was arguing before tho jury that his client had no intention to de fraud when the transaction occur ed; in fact, he never thought ho was cheating the man. Pointing his finger at Judge Logan, his partner, he said : "Any boy you meet in the street knows how to put on his clothes. Now all know that Judge Logan is learned in law, and nobody would accuse him of doing wrong. You will ob serve he has his shirt on with the wrong side in front. Now, the Judge never intended to do that when ho put his shirt on. If my client has done anything wrong, he never intended to do so any more than Judge Logan intended to put on his shirt with the back in front." Sure enough, Judge Logan had his shirt on wrong, and the use Lincoln made of his partner's mistake in dress caus ed the client to get off free. Chronic Bronchitis Cured. "For ten years I had chronic brouchitis so bad that at times I could not speak above a whisper," writes Mr. Joseph Coffman, of Montmorenci, Iud. "I tried all remedies available, but with no success. Fortunately my employ er suggested that I try Foley's Honey and Tar. Its effect was al most miraculous, and I am now cured of the disease. On my rec ommendation many people have used Foley's Honey and Tar, and always with satisfaction." All dealers. Solved the Tramp Problem. "I think I have solved the tramp problem in a perfectly satisfac tory way," said the New Jersey farmer as the subject was under discussion. "It did no good what ever to put up signs warning them off or to keep a bulldog at the gate. I tried all that, and last spring I made a change. I put up signs for three miles around reading, "Tramps Please Call at the Baker Farm, "and "All tramps Welcomed at Baker's," and the result is that not over three of them have called. The other day, to show you how it works, a tramp came along and looked things ov er and said to me : " 'Any constables hidden in the barn V " 'Not a one,' I replied. " 'How many bulldogs you got?' '"None at all.' " 'Got a lot of spring guns or bear traps set about the place ?' '"Nothing of the kind.' " 'Has a feller got to do a day's work to get a meal ?' " 'No work at all You come right in, and I will give you a square meal for nothing, and if you want to stay all night I'll give you the best bed in the house.' "He looked at me in a puzzled way for about a minute," contiu ued tho farmer, "aud then indulg ed in a wink and said : " 'You can't play that little game on me, old man. This is my sixteenth year on the road " 'But what game ?' I asked. " Tutting poison in the milk and selling our cadavers to a raed ical college for 5 apieco. Oh, no, Mr. Baker not this eve !'

He was out on the roof of the iusane asylum at Pdntiac making some repairs, within a foot of the eaves. Suddenly tho noise of his hammer was interrupted by a voice behind him, calmly saying; "Well, come ou! Lot's jump down together." Tue roofer turned aud saw a maniac standing behind him. The glitter iu the madman's eye made the roofer look with a feeling of dread at the ground below, realiz ing that there was no escape. The roofer concealed his fright a moment. He even smiled con temptuously as he looked into the maniac's face. "Huh!" he remarked. "Any blamed fool could jump down. But let's go down and try to jump up!" "Say, that's an idea!" exclaim ed the insane man. "Come on. Let's go down and try it!" And lie led the way to the trap door in the roof. Wants To Help Others. "I had stomach trouble all my life'" says Edw. Mehler, proprie tor of the Union Bottling Works, Erie, Pa., "and tried all kinds of remedies, went to several doctors and spent considerable money trying to get a moment's peace.
