A SOLDIER HERMIT.
General rieaiioiitnn'a l.lfn nf t?fter flecla
Hlon In m WanhlnR-ton Hotel.
"Alone in a grent city! prncticRlly a
lieniiit Htniil the til ron rh of the nation's
capital; living a life of comfort and con
tentment, but a life of aechtnion mid ex-
chiHive retirement."
Such wna the Btiawer given In reply to
en inquiry a few days ngo regarding the
welfare and whereabout of Major Gen
eral Alfred l'leasonton, whose name and
fame a few years ngo were on the lips
of nine-tenths of the American people,
and the records of whose exploits as one
of the greatest cavalry leaders of our
late war would fill volumes of graphic
history.
Apparently in the full possession of all
his mental faculties, Rnd with no serious
physical ailment, this limn of genius, a
soldier of two great wars, and explorer
nearly fifty years ago of the then un
known domain of our grent western ter
ritoryan Indian fighter of great re
nown, a traveler whose face and figure
were nt one time well known in every
court of all the great powers of the Old
World, a scholar, bon vivant, wit and
most companionable of all the agreeable
public men of his day voluntarily be
took himself to his private apartment in
a snug little hotel iu the very heart of
Washington on May 15, 18H0, and has
not since been seen or talked with by,
all told, more than a dozen of his fellow
beings. And, with two or three excep
tions, those who have seen or talked
with him Bince that date have been of
those necessary to him in administering
to his personal wnnts.
There was a bill pending iu congress
to retiro him as a brigadier general. He
felt that ao much as that recognition
was his due at the hands of the country
he had served so faithfully. He had
been a major general in command of the
cavalry corps of the Army of the Poto
mac; he had fought the first real cavalry
fight of the war at Brandy Station, June
12, ISO:!, and then and there proved his
superior abilities as a dashing and al
most invincible commander; had met
and thwarted the advance of the enemy
npon Gettysburg, holding Lee's armies
in doubt and abeyance until Meade's in
fantry came up to fight the decisive bat
tle of the war, nnd had never been found
wanting when duty and patriotism re
quired his presence either in camp or in
the field.
The canvasback, the terrapin and all
the dishes he relished soliighly in days
of yore have been abandoned, but he has
everything his appetite may crave, and
with good digestion waiting upon it he
eats to live and contentedly remarks
that he no longer lives to eat. In other
matters his habits are regular, for, like
clockwork, he gets all the daily papers,
keeping well posted regarding the affairs
of the world of which he is part and
parcel, but which he holds away oft at
arm's length, and with which he asso
ciates as little as possible.
No one of the few who see him ever
thinks of asking him a reason for this
most marvelous change in his manner
of living, for they know it would be
useless. In fact he has resented several
inquiries of that kind in such a manner
as to show that they are extremely dis
tasteful to him. General Rosecrans
wrote to him about a year and a half
ago asking about his health and other
questions that any old time friend would
be apt to ask, but he did not answer the
letter for months. Washington Star.
Character In the Walk.
To the attentive eye none of the ordi
nary gestures or movements betrays pe
culiarities of individual character more
plainly than the gait; the sailor's roll
ing, the soldier's stiff, the countryman's
jolting gait are immediately recognized.
Slow steps, whether long or short, sug
gest a gentle or reflective state of mind,
as the cose muy be, while, on the con
trary, quick steps seem to sjieuk of agi
tation aud energy. Reflection is revealed
in frequent pauses and walking to and
fro, backward and forward. The direc
tion of the steps, wavering and follow
ing every changing impulse of t'ae mind,
inevitably betrays uncertainty, hesita
tion and indecision.
The proud step is slow and measured;
the toes are conspicuously turned out,
the leg is straightened. In vanity the
toes are rather more gracefully turned,
the strides a little shorter, and there is
very often an affectation of modesty.
Tiptoe walking symbolizes surprise,
curiosity, discretion or mystery. Pall
Mall Gazette.
Ingratitude of I'artlea,
The ingratitude of party ia proverbial.
One need go no further back in search
of an example than the first Lord Iddes
leigh; instructive stories have been told
of the ingratitude which was shown
toward him. The late Robert Lowe did
something for his party once npon r
time. What did his party ever do fo
him? But the examples which, on a
moment's reflection, occur to one's mind
are too numerous to mention. A niuu
tnay, and frequently does, give all time,
tnoney, intellect, bis whole life to the
so called public service, to be shelved at
last. And suppose he is not shelved;
suppose, that is, he dies in harness.

Money Spent In War.
It costs $7,000 to kill a man. From
me Crimean war down to that of 1870-1
;he civilized nations of Europe and
America spent in destroying one another
121,000,000,000. The wars of the last
100 years have cost $140,000,000,000,
without counting the sorrow, the loss of
nen and other results. Xncinnati En
The RanrirlnRham Funeral Sermon.
The wide interest taken in the ques
tion of recognition in eternity was illus
trated by t lie extraordinary sale of the
sermon preached at 8iinilrini;liamoii the
decease of the Duke of Clarence and
Avondale, the eldest son of the Prince
and Princess of ales.
The profits during the short period of
six months amounted to no less than
tl.ftOO, of which the sum of IIO'iO was
given by tho Princess of Wales to the
Gordon Bovs' home and A'05(l to the
British Home for Incurables. Over 50,-
000 copies were sold in that time a Bale
certainly unprecedented in tho annals
of profit from a single sermon of a few
pages.
1 he preacher has been heard to say
that this sale was not due to his slender
sermon, but to the touching anecdote
told by tho princess, forming the prefa
tory note, and which bIio gave permis
sion to be printed. The substance of
the story U that in 1888 all the five chil
dren of the princess were with her at
Sandringham, and they nil partook of
holy communion together. "I gave
Eddy a little book," said tho bereaved
mother, "and wrote in it;
"Notlilna In my hand 1 tiring,
dimply to thy rrons i cling,
"and also
".tiiKt mi I am, without one plea.
Milt Hint (liy M""d wns nlird for me,
U l.nnib nt (Jod, I come.
"When be was gone, and lay like one
sleeping," continued the princess, "we
laid a cross of flowers on Ins breast, ami
after we hnd done so I turned to the ta
ble at his bedside and saw the little book
in which were written these words, and
I could not help feeling that he did cling
to the cross, and that it had all come
true." Leisure Hour.
Tennyson's Interview with the tjueen.
It was in the latter part of 1862, the
year after the death of the prince consort,
that I was conversing with Mrs. Tenny
son on the sudden death of a much val
ued common friend and the loneliness of
his widow, when Tennyson, who hod
been stalking up and down the end of
the bow windowed drawing room with
his usual long strides, suddenly broke in
with, "I saw another widow three days
ago." "Indeed," I replied, "and who
was that?" "The queen," he replied in
his deepest tones. "She sent for me to
Osborne." I said that 1 supposed her
mojesty wished to thank him for his
noble tribute to the memory of the
prince cons rt, and with perhaps par
donable curiosity went on to ask what
the queen bad said to him. "I can't re
member," he answered; "I lost my head.
I only remember what I said to the
queen big fool that I was!"
"What was that?' "Why, what an
excellent kin'? Prince Albert would have
made. As soon as it was out of my
mouth I felt what a blunder I had made.
But happily it proved to bo the very
right thing to have said. The queen re
plied that that had been the constant
sorrow of her Hie tnat sue was canea
to govern, while he who was so worthy
of the first place was obliged to take a
secondary position." Tennyson had lit
tle more to say of his reception except
that, notwithstanding the perfect calm
ness and Bel restraint of the queen, and
the sweet consideration she manifested
for him, the interview was a peculiarly
trying one, and be was glad when it
was over. Canon Venables in London
Times.
Gratitude Toward Great Men.
We are told regularly periodically
told that the eminent politician earns
his country's gratitude. We have much
to be thankful for, we little ones, but
we have indeed cause to be truly thank
ful that we are not destined to earn such
gratitude os that. How many politi
cianssay, during the past century may
be said to have earned their country's
gratitude? How many out of the great
multitude- of politicians? t Is there one?
Ia there one man of whom his country
men are willing to say, with an even
nearly unanimous voice, "We owe that
man our heartfelt gratitude; it is his;
we give it him." As they sometimes
cry in the arena of his former straggles:
"Name! Namel"
Doubtless every man Jack of those ex
tinct eminent politicians for extinct
they are as the dodo, to all practical in
tents and purposes has his followers as
he had them then. And equally true it
is that he has bis opponents, quite in the
good old way. What sort of gratitude
is it which consists in being set op by
one set of men for another set of men to
knock yon down? Those eminent poli
ticians have handed on theiaenxrTtogles
to our eminent politicians. We are
wrangling just on the same old lines.
If we look deeply into the matter we
' ill begin to doubt if we have advanced
.ouch farther than they did. We are
making the same old plunges in the
same old lucky bag. All the Year

TWO PATIENTS IN A DISPENSARY.
A Small Newnhny and A ills' Fireman
Kneh Undergo nn Operation.
Late one evening a man was seated in
the receiving room of ono of the dispen
saries in the' lower part of tho city. He
was talking to a young surgeon who hnd
charge of the room, and the conversa
tion turned to the subject of tho courage
Ihown by young folks as compnred with
that of adults.
"It's all bosh," said the visitor, "alnmt
a child standing pain better than a man.
Why, it stands to reason"
"Hullo!" says the surgeon. "What's
this?"
"It's me."
The visitor turned and saw two bare
footed urchins, one nbont eight, and the
other iierhajis a year younger. The elder
came in carrying his companion, whom
he carefully laid on the lounge. Then
be raised himself and said:
"Me and Dannie 're newsboys, and
just now he stepped on a busted bottle
in de park nnd cnt his foot."
"And yon carried him all the way
from the park here on ymir back?"
"Yep."
Tho doctor had washed the blood from
the foot and disclosed a deep, ragged cnt
about three inches long. He carefully
washed and dressed it nnd was alxiiit to
thread his needle to take a few needed
stitches when the patient spoke up for
the first time:
"Are yon goin to sew it, doc?"
"Yes, my little man. It can't heal
without it."
"Oh-h-h-h!"
He lay back, and after one suppressed
groan the tears which tifrkled down
his cheeks nlone told the story of the
pain. The sole of the foot of an ordi
nary New York newsboy is not a very
easy thing for even the sharpest needle
to pierce, and the puin of the ojieration
was much increased. While it was go
ing on a member of the New York fire
patrol entered and sitting himself in a
chair waited with evident impatience
for his turn to arrive. The sewing fin
ished, the foot was bandaged, and the
young Styrax took np his burden.
"How far have you to go?" asked the
doctor.
"Over to Oliver street."
It was a full half mile to Oliver street,
bnt the youth took np his burden cheer
fully. "Well, sir, what can t do for you?"
said the surgeon to the man.
The patrolman was a magnificent
specimen of physical manhood, tall,
broad and muscular.
"Well, yon see, I was hitchin up the
bosses, and they started and threw me
down. I fell on my hand there," he
added as he held out the member. It
was considerably swollen. To find the
canse of the swelling the doctor began
to run his fingers along the injured part,
but he had hardly begun when his wrist
was seized in a grip like iron.
"Hold on there, doc: that hnrtal"
"Of course it does, bnt I have to find
out what's the matter."
Again he tried, and again he was pre
vented. "How do yon think I can fix your
hand when you won't let me find out
what's the matter with it?"
"I know that, but I can't stand it," he
began.
"Hold his arm, a couple of you," said
the surgeon to the attendants, who had
come in, attracted by the noise. The
man's arm was held, and it was found
that the hand had been merely sprained.

The King and the fteldllts Powder.
On the first consignment of seidlitx
powders to the capital of Delhi the
monarch was deeply interested in the ac
counts of the refreshing box. A box
was brought to the king in full court,
and the interpreter explained to his maj
esty how it should be used. Into a gob
let he put the twelve blue papers, and
having added water, the king drank it
off. This was the alkali, and the royal
countenance expressed no sign of satis
faction. It was then explained that in
the combination of the two powders lay
the Inxnry, and the twelve white pow
ders were quickly dissolved in water,
and as eagerly swallowed by his ma
jesty. With a shriek that will be remem
bered while Delhi is numbered with the
kingdoms the monarch rose, stared, ex
ploded and in his full agonies screamed
"Hold me down," then rushing from the'
throne fell prostrate on the floor. There
he lay during the long continued effer
vescence of the compound, spurting like
10,000 pennyworths of imperial pop, and
believing himself in the agonies of death,
melancholy and humiliating proof that
kings are mortaL Indian Mirror.

The Value of BuMlan Beard.
The Russians had an old law by which
any one who drew hair from another's
beard should be fined four times as much
aa for cutting off a finger; and the im
portance and value of the appendage is
further illustrated by the fact that,
although the loss of a leg was estimated
at 13 shillings, the loss of the beard waa
estimated at SO. English Illustrated

ftome Yankee Train In Mexico,
"If anybody thinks the citizens of the
Cactus Republic do not possess their full
hare of Yankee shrewdness he is likely
to become wiser without growing wealth
ier during a year's sojourn in Mexico,"
said Ignatius Rclmmaker, as he joined
the circle of bonanza kings who were
talking pay rock in the corridors of the
Southern. "I wentdown there a couple
of years ago to pick up a few fortunes in
the mining district. At Chihuahua I be
came acquainted with an old greaser
who professed to become very fond of
me. One day, when I had warmed his
leathery old heart with pulque, he con
fided to me that he knew the location of
an old Azteo mine of fabulous richness.
It was situated npon a branch of the
Yaqnai river, on land owned by his
brother, a wealthy ranchero. It was
from this mine that the Monteznmaa
drew the bulk of their fabnlons wealth.
"Dnring the war waged by Cortez the
mino was forgotten, and he my com
panion had lately discovered it. He
tiad specimens of the ore, and it was
fully 70 per cent, coin silver. Of course
I bit bit ravenously. 1 set out for his
brother's ranch next day and reached it
after a three days' ride. The old mine
was certainly there, and it gave every
indication of being as rich as represented.
I scraped together every dollar I could
command and bought a third interest in
it. Then I went to work to form a com
pany to develop it. I did not work long,
however. The first man 1 interviewed
looked at me pityingly and remarked:
'So old Jose, has caught another sucker,
has he? My innocent friend, that old
hole is salted. Yon could carry away
every ounce of pay rock within twenty
five miles of tho place in a meal sack.'"
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Iiiaao Kewton'a First Inspiration.
Tho youth of high scholastic attain
ments who is always carrying off prizes
naturally raises hopes of his subsequent
success in a particular career. Of course
the most is made of him. He is not only
a credit to himself, but to his teachers;
to the latter, indeed, he is a practical
certificate a "human document" of
the first class. Finally he leaves school,
and it is confidently predicted that, if
he does not achieve greatness in the bat
tle of life, it can only be on account of
some moral flaw which has not yet had
time to declare itself.
But the "dull boy" seldom receives
the benefit of the doubt in any specula
tion os to his future. Once dnbbed
"dunce" or reputed "slow," ond he is
allowed to develop in the shade, emerg
ing from which he satisfies or surprises
his friends only because nothing was ex
pected of him. No one can dispute the
claim of Sir Isaao Newton to a monu
ment in Westminster abbey, nor to the
praise conferred by Pope's well known
epitaph:
Nature and nature's laws lay hid In night,
(jod said, "Let Newton be!" and all was light.
Nevertheless the greatest of English
philosophers was a so called "dunce" at
school. Sir David Brewster tells us that
Newton made little progress "nntil one
day the boy who was above him having
given him a severe kick in the stomach,
from which he suffered great pain, he
labored incessantly till he got above
him in the school, and from that time
continued to rise nntil he was the head
boy." London Standard.
Perseverance and Path.
Perseverance and "push" are far from
being the same thing, and quite as far
from being equally commendable. A
girl walked into a large dry goods store,
and going up to one of the firm asked if
be wished to employ any more girls in
his workroom. The gentleman was busy,
bnt he left his work and answered her
courteously in the negative.
The girl, who was showily dressed and
evidently impressed with her own ap
pearance, would not accept his answer.
"I was told you wanted more help,"
persisted tho applicant somewhat defi
antly.
"It was a mistake, you see. I do not,'
was the reply.
"But won't you need some one after
awhile?"
"No," was the answer, given very de
cidedly and with courteous coolness.
The girl looked at the gentleman some'
what doubtfully and walked out. Turn
ing to a friend the gentleman said:
"That young woman saw that I was
busy and pushed herself forward with
out a word of excuse. She did not ap
preciate the courtesy 1 showed her.
would not employ a girl who had ao
much push and so little modesty and
consideration for the rights of other peo
ple. She would never succeed in my
store. I donbt if she would, succeed any
where." Youth's Companion.
Men Are Good Listeners.
"What a splendid listener," says a
woman, "seems the average young man,
and how weak apparently are his con
versational powers! Yet he manages to
draw much from his young women
friends, saying little, but quickly setting
the ball rolling. Is it because we have
all the volubility, which inuBt pour out
In any event? I think so, for two men
walking or riding together find little to
say to each other. But watch a throng
leaving the theater or church or any
where and you will see every woman
chattering away, with nearly every man
a pleased listener." New York Times.
The Bpaee Between Young- Trees,
Trees that grow large tops, such as
