An ex-captain of volunteers was entertaining a few friends in an office on Larned street with some of his army adventures when a new arrival listened for a moment and then interrupted him with: "Excuse me, captain, but how ia it when a man is in battle?" "How do you mean?" "Does he have time to think of outside matters?' HE PUGET SOUND COUNTRY JUST LAST FIGHT OF THE WAR, TWENTY- Such is tho title which has been justly given to tho great Mount Morgan gold mino, situated in Central Queensland, which is pay-1 Ing at the rate of over a million a year in dividends. The history of the mine, which has only been fully developed during the last year, is a curious one. The original selector of the freehold portion of this wonderfully i nch property, consisting of 640 acres, was l one Donald Gordon, who paid flve shillings an acre for it, and utilized it as giazing land 'or his cattle. It is particularly haftl to believe in a Japanese literature. One can accept the letter characters over the tiny shops as being in some fashion significant, but to understand the portrayal of virtue and vice, of mighty deeds and sublime scenes, of joy and despair, by a set of crossbones playing cricket is beyond the Occidental intelligence. And the idea of these solemn lines taking it upon themselves to convey modern fiction to this quaint little public in flapping cimono and clattering geta, that warms itself over a hibachi, and sits all day on the floor of its curious domiciles, and goes bareheaded about its business in the streets, is more exceedingly queer.

He did, and the second day he was there dug out about $4 worth of laundry work, which had been accumulating as he traveled, and asked ray wife if he could have it done in the neighborhood. She—building more wisely than she knew—told him she would send it to the laundry with my own bundle, and did it. The result was that eight shirts and a lot of underwear and handkerchiefs, and collars and cuffs, and «ocks and night robes came back with my full name on them in indelible ink. My wife sorted Goodwin's clothes out and put them aside for him and then told me of the error of the laundry folks in putting my name on Goodwin's togs.

She says it is by no means a Dry or Prosy lecture, but conveys many grand ideas to the lofty minds. She might have trouble, however, in getting enough lofty minds at some points to pay her bills. Lofty minds do not always attend a lecture of this kind, but frequently stay at home evenings and read the county paper. If we could only make an appeal to the Lofty Mind that would jerk it from its lair on nights when lectures all lit up with Fire and Pathos are to be heard, it would be a good thing for all. A correspondent of Tho Sydney Morning Herald, who visited the mine some lime agot told the readers ot that journal how, returning from tho mountain, he stopped at a wayside inn, where "a tall, weather beaten, grizzled looking man" took his horse to a wen to drink. "Well, hardly." "Just has his mind occupied by what is going on around him?" "Yes." There were four Confederate armies In the field at the beginning of April, 1865, besides detached commands under Gens. Sam Jones and M. Jeff Thompson. The four were those of Lee, Johnston, Taylor and Kirby Smith. April 9 Lee surrendered to Grant, April 26 Johnston surrendered to Sherman, in North Carolina, all the forces east of the Chattahoochee; May 4, at Citronelle, Ala., Gen. Richard Tuylor surrendered to Canby all the remaining forces east of the Mississippi. The Confederate command of Sam Jones still held together for a time after Johnston's army had laid down their arms. But Jones, too, surrendered to a detachment of Wilson's cavalry at Tallahassee, Fla., on the 10th of May. Gen. Sam Jones died in 1887. At the time of his death he was a clerk in the war department at Washington. HARD TIMES IN THE CONFEDERACY. I know they do though, not because they have conveyed any to me, but because I have a Japanese friend who is a novelist, and tonight I sat and watched him decorating the fortunes of his heroine for a long time. Hi« workshop has no Grub street suggestions in it. Shall I describe it to you? It is a little room, a very little room. "Six mats" is its Japanese measurement, and a mat is about six feet by four. It is full of the soft, dull light that pulses from a square white paper lantern; the low, bright wooden esiling gives back a pale brown gleam hert and there. There is a silvery glint in the frail paneled walls, which I have learned not to lean against; and in a warm, gray shadowed recess a gold Buddha crosses his feet and stretches forth his palms, smiling gently upon the lotus which he holds. In another recess stand the curious vessels of iron and clay and bamboo for the tea ceremony. My novelist has often told me the story of the tea ceremony—bow it was invented 300 years ago by a wise man, whose name I could not possibly spell, who thought that the Japanese were declining into luxury, to gratify the soul more and the senso less.

The matter of lack of supplies was investigated during tho winter, and in a secret session of congress at Richmond the following exhibit was made of the coudition of Lee's subsistence department: "That there is not meat enough in the Southern Confederacy for the armies in the field. That there is not in Virginia meat and bread enough for the armies within her limits. That the supply of bread for those armies to be obtained from other places depends absolutely upon keeping open the railroad connections of the south. ery of Desperate Men. Tho confidence of the besieging army at Petersburg in 1865 was not due to lack of vigilance nor to uusoldierly apathy. The Union troops occupied more than three-quarters of a circle around Petersburg, the intrenchments being about sixteen miles in length, compelling Lee to spread his men over the ground in a very weak line. It is true that the gap still held by the Confederates gave them avenues of communication with their capital at Richmond and with their depots of supplies at Danville, Lynchburg, and points in North Carolina; but as the season for the spring campaign was at hand it was known that Union armies in the rear and on the flanks of Lee would soon close these avenues, and then the chief forces of the Confederacy would be surrounded. There had not been a sortie during the siege of Petersburg. The Union lines had closed In upon the enemy's works with steady progress and the "last ditch" seemed to have been reached and the baffled Confederate army settled in it to dio ingloriously. "Exactly—all right—I didn't anppoae you did. You went away owing me $10; you know, and I didn't know lDut it bothered you. All right—all right—it's outlawed now and I shan't ask for it. Go on, captain, and tell 'em how you won glory and renown and didn't think of me."—Detroit Free Press. If Gordon sold the freehold to tho Messrs. Morgan for £640, or £1 an acre. They discovered gold in 1883, and in that year formed a partnership, in which they held half the mine, while Messrs. T. 8. Hall, W. Hall, W. H. D'Arcy and W. Pattison, who are now four of the principal proprietors, held the second half. The Messrs. Morgan subsequently disposed of their share to these gentlemen for £93,000; and in 1886 the present company was formed with a capital of £1,- 000,000 in 1,000,000 shares of £1 each, of which 7s. 6cL per share is paid up. "This gave me an idea, and the next day when Goodwin and I were standing in a crowd of fellows at the theatre I saw a handkerchief sticking out of his side pocket and said: The Coant and the Collector. Collector—I have called to present vour bill. In fancy I can now see Mrs. Bowles dressing in the baggage car, as the train is late, and as she arranges her toilet behind the peanutter's Wti trunk, softly saying over her crisp little piece lit up with lire and pathos. Later on I see her trying to find the stage entrance to the rink. It is locked. It always is locked. After twenty-seven Scene Shifters and Narcotic Supes have gained entrance they carefully lock the door, and while quenching the fire with their salivary surplus they read "Punko Pete, the Dire Disemboweler of Dead Man's Gulch."

"Then I pulled it out and looked it over and showed him my name on it. I didn't reproach him.

The hard times in the Confederacy were known to every Union soldier who came iu contact with the enemy on the Petersburg lines. There was regular communication between the oppnc*pickets, a.id there was an epidemic of c.eaertious from the Confederate ranks, which alone would have encouraged the Union troops to believe that the bottom was dropping out of the Confederacy. The stories which these men told of the state of affairs in Dixie more than confirmed the suspicions that were awakened by their action in deserting their colors. Their stories briefly were that the whole population of the south had given up all hope of success and wanted the end to come soon; that ouly the leaders who feared for their beads w£re holding out; that the friends of the soldiers in the field encouraged them to desert, and that all of them would desert as soon as opportunity offered, except property owners; that the property of deserters was confiscated and their families turned adrift; that men who remained in the ranks would not fight any more, and that all of the Bring, or nearly all, on the picket line was done under the orders and direction of the officers, and they in some cases handled the guns themselves; that many soldiers when compelled to shoot were careful not to hit the target They laid great stress upon the fact that the southerners would not fight again. Circumstances might compel them to remain in the ranks, but nothing could induce them to do battle with their old time ardor. The condition of the men who came into the Union camps as deserters attested the truth of all that was told over the lines of the forlorn aspect of things in Lee's camps. A deserter's first act on finding himself in the hands of the enemy was to appeal for food. Occasionally they were too modest to throw themselves boldly upon the mercy of an antagonist, but their famished faces, and their hungry eyes, wandering wistfully to the camp chests and sometimes resting upon a refuse bone, led their captors to offer food the moment they had secured their prisoners. Of ton these mon were barefoot and some of them had worn their trouser.i legs off half way up to the knees. Such absolute distress among so large a number of men is seldom witnessed. And this was not oonflned to the men who came in as deserters. Every night Confederates came to the Union camps, wading through swamps and risking their lives where the pickets' bullets flew, in order to get bread and meat which their generous foemen kindly gave out of an abundance.— George L Kilmer. fessor of mathe- matics in the Uni- Although it was believed at Union headquarters that Lee would make an effort to join his forces with Glen. Joseph E. Johnston's at some point ' south of Petersburg, the probability of his doing so by breaking Grant's hold on the Petersburg lines seems not to have been taken into account. Sheridan, who was marching from the Shenandoah Valley to Petersburg, was close to the Appomattox onlhe 84th of March, and Glen. Grant issued an order for a movement by the left flank around Lee's right, with a view to placing a barrier between him and Johnston. The campaign was to begin on the 29th. Sheridan's cavalry column was to letyd, and the Second, Fifth and Sixth corps, already on the left, would follow. On the night of the 31th Gen. Meads, commanding the Army of the Potomac under Grant, was at the headquarters of the latter at City Point, where also President Lincoln was staying on a visit with the purpose of reviewing the army. At headquarters, everywhere, preparations were going on for the movement of the 29th, and the troops, excepting the pickets and trench guards, were resting quietly in their camps. A couple of hours before daylight Gen. Parke was aroused by the noise of a battle on his front, and after learning from couriers that the enemy had broken through he telegraphed to Gen. Meade, at the headquarters of the Army of the Potomac, the facts. He received the reply that Meade was at City Point, and that he (Parke), being senior, was in command of the army. On attempting to telegraph to City Point he found that the lines had been cut by the enemy and communication was broken. Gordon's blow had been delivered with surprising swiftness and success in the midst of a heavy morning fog that aided his men in the initial stroke.

Scattered about among the trees were tents of various descriptions, bark huts, huts of corrugated iron, and wooden houses. In a central position were two hotels, some stores or general shops, a church in process of con(truction, a school, and an Odd Fellows' hall. There are already about 5,000 inhabitants, and the object which has attracted them all is a conical shaped hill about 500 feet in height above the water level, and with notb ing, so far as outward appearances are concerned, to distinguish it from numerous other well wooded hills which surround it.

Some of the stone is reddish, and looks as if it might contain copper, while here and there is a bank of yellowish sand which yields eleven ounces to the ton. Formerly the ore was treated by the ordinary battery and quicksilver amalgamation process, but the gold is so finely distributed through the stone that most of it was lost, and the tailings are being treated with very satisfactory results by the chlortnation process, which is now in use at the mine. Under this process the ore is first crushed by powerful machinery and reduced to fine sand.

The deputation of Armenians which visited the shah to ascertain if an emigration of members of that race would be acceptable to Persia have reported favorably to their oppressed brethren at home, but these latter will meet with almost insurmountable difficulties in escaping the grasp of their Turkish masters.

"One or two friends had dropped in meanwhile, and they joined in the general grin at Goodwin.

It was in one of the coal mining towns, aud a crowd of rude, turbulent men had gathered to prevent Miss Dickinson from speaking. At she stepped upon the platform she was greeted with hisses and screams, and as she advanced to the front the tumult increased. She did not shrink nor show one sign of fear; her eyes burned with a new light and her face paled a little, not from fear, but from excitement. With an undaunted air she stood there, with her head thrown back, her eyes blazing, one arm behind her, in the attitude all he? admirers knew to be her own characteristic, stood waiting for the tumult to cease. Suddenly one man, more reckless or more inflamed with anger than the rest, drew a pistol front his pocket and fired. The shot cut off a lock of her curly hair, but still she never flinched. The look of contempt deepened on her face, Sid the firm lips closed more tightly. For a moment there was a dead silence, then a voice cried out: " 'Gimme back my handkerchiefs. Every blessed piece of linen I've got has your name on it. The laundry folks did it, and I've been yielding up handkerchiefs to you at every jump. Give up!' THIS INDEED IS HELL.

The works, which are lit throughout by the electric light, are kept constantly going night and day. Nine hundred men are employed, and work in three shifts dt eight hours each. The expenditure in wages is £100,000 per annum; 4,000 tons of firewood are burnt per month, and the output of gold is about a ton per month If the works were stopped for a single day it would mean a loss to the shareholders of £4,000. —London Times.

If you had done as much in the elevating business as Sitting Bull, you migjit do well, but, having done nothing worse than to assassinate the English language, a good lithograph alone will not crowd your Halls with Lofty Minds. There will be nights when two or three lofty minds will be all you can scare up. After a period of incubation which has been spent in educating public opinion in the matter of the hygienic iniquity of the present system of interment, the group of sanitary philanthropists, with the Duke of Westminster at the head, who have taken up the ungrateful task of bringing the necessary reforms to pass, have at last decided to seek the indorsement of their contentions by the legislature. The object sought is, failing the effective embalming of the body, the prohibition of leaden and other solidly constructed coffins, the effect of which is to indefinitely retard complete decomposition, and so prolong the period during which the dead are not only aesthetically objectionable, but are an indisputable source of danger to the living, wicker work or papier mache receptacles alone being used. This is merely a sanitary precaution of an elementary kind; and whatever the immediate fate of the movement may be, it must sooner or later Impose itself. The idea of cremation is daily being received with more favor in England, and the suggestion of Sir Spencer Wells that in future only properly cremated remains should be admitted to funeral honors in Westminster Abbey and other national mausoleums, has met with general approbation.—New York Commercial Advertiser.

Dr. Edward Walther, of St. Paul, Minn., recently discovered one of the very few silver dollars of the year 1804 in the possession of an old Norwegian living in the southern portion of Minnesota, and purchased the coin of him for (150.

There are numerous bogus coins of this date which are made by skillfully cutting out the figure S in an 1803 dollar and neatly plugging It with a figure 4.

Penelope—Isn't it detestable to hear a man keep time to the music with his feet? I must this afternoon go and pay for a bright new floral autograph album with a music box in the hind part of it, which volume was sent to me for my indorsement, and pending my signature the said album was stolen from my room. It is pretty tough, to say the least. Writing an autograph is a trivial affair, but to become the custodian of a valuable collection and then have to replace it, signatures, music box and all, is not what it is cracked up to be. An interesting experiment in jumping a torpedo over a boom has been carried out in Porchester creek by the officers of the Vernon. The boom, which was twenty feet in length, differed from the usual spars which are used for the defense of harbors against torpedo attacks, in that it was six feet broad and surmounted by a number of spikes, which it was supposed would receive the boat and hold it a prisoner. A first class torpedo boat, which had been strengthened for the purpose, was selected to attack the boom. Having worked her engines up to full speed, she made a dash at the boom at the rate of about twenty knots. At this speed her stem was lifted out of the water almost as high as the boom itself, which sunk on impact, and before it could rise to the surface the momentum of the craft had carried her over. It was subsequently found that neither her cutwater nor propeller had suffered in the least, nor had a single plate been bulged or started. The result of the experiment points to the fact that either the booms must be duplicated or that they must be supplemented with nets, with the object of entangling the screws of the attacking enemy.—New York Commercial Advertiser. Torpedo Maneuver*. Our Moon. Jack—Oh, the music probably appeals to his sole.—Munsey's Weekly. The dean had come upon it by accident, and feeling that it expressed with singular felicity the true Christian proportion between doctrine and character, between good words and good works, he used it to poiut and adorn his sermon. Readers of The Companion may be glad to add it to their collections of good words: A widespread legend of great antiquity Informs us that the moon is inhabited by a man with a bundle of sticks on his back, who hat been exiled thither for many centuries, and is so far off that he is beyond the reach of death. This tradition, which has given rise to so many superstitions, is still preserved, under various forms, in most countries; but it has not been decided who the culprit originally was and how he came to be imprisoned.

"The demand for canary birds has increased enormously of late," said a well known New York bird fancier. "But the regular dealers do not find much profit in handling the ordinary yellow singere; thej •ell comparatively few of them, and it doe* not pay to keep them long in stock. The street competition is too great. AVe must charge at least $2.50 for any bird that can sing at all, while a canary that at all events looks as though he might warble if he tried, may be purchased at a street corner, from a man who raises his own birds in a tenement house, for about seventy-five oents. "Sometimes a dealer who has too large a stock on hand employs a peddler to offer the poorest of the lot for sale on the sidewalk. Birds bought from such persons aro pretty certain to be dear at any price, but if you are a good judge of a canary a bargain may often be picked up on tho street. Your beet plan, if you are buying from a peddler and are doubtful of your own ability to make r good selection, is to stand before the little wooden cages until you see a bird singing strongly and well. Then ehoose him; but keep your eye cm the dealer, for many of them are as adept as card sharpers at changing a good bird for a bad one during the process of wrapping up the cage."—Hew York Sun. Loss of life was doubtless prevented by the prompt action of a little 9-year-old lad, Norman Smith, at Kingston recently. While playing near the West Shore railway track he discovered a mass of rock which had slid down over the south bound track in Fitch's cut, just after the watchman had passed. Seeing the Hudson River express rounding the curve some distance above, he made frantic efforts to warn the engineer of danger. The train was stopped just in time and was switched on the north track. Other trains were detained for a time. A private car, with P. W. Clement and family on board, was attached to the train. A purse of money was quickly made up for the little fellow. —New York Tribuue. An opportunity for the extension of woman's field of employmont has been suggested in New York, where it is proposed to employ women as ushers in tbe theatres. The plan is favored by many prominent actors, especially those who have seen its operation abroad. In Paris the ouvreuse, or female usher and box opener, is a regular attache of every theatre. Her duties are precisely those of the usual American male usher, though in some cases she may be entrusted with other work about the theatre that is here done by men. If the plan is a success at the theatres of the French capital there is hardly a doubt of its success here.
