ATajoiiDaiton was in trouble, lledieen detailed and sent to ouep the largest cities in the o ieracy to superintend the vJlifrufacturc of bombs and tor'p4og ; Eeir ftng moved along sat ipfdW. until the chemist con nectRll the works made an experinmtL one aay ana uiew hiillf4lfi, The force of the 88 ivhs so m-eat that.n real tlmtA.not, a jiiece 01 w& innominate man could be fonr1. "I wouldn't have minded it bo much," sni3 the major to his friend, the provost marshal, "if the fellow Indn't carried off a lot of valnahlojiapers with him. lie knew lots of chemical se crets, and he hid his formulas written out, aid they were in his pocket whtn he left." 'Von migte advertise," sug gested the privest marshal. "Good idea" replied the ma jor. "I will do it." The next morning the city papers contained a small adver tisement stating that a lirst- class chemist could secure em ployment, at a good salary, at the irovernnient works. At the time there were very few idle chemists in the confed eracy, and aftei waiting several days the major began to think that he would liave to send up to Richmond for man. One night when he was alone i t 1 ,1 . . in ins omcc, ne commenced a letter to the secretary of war. lie had just penned a request for the detail of an experienced expeit, when lie became con scious ot the presence ot anoth er person in the room. 'J didn't see him, and T didn't hear him," said the ma jor afterward, "but I could jfeel my llesh crawl, and knew that sometuifi Avaa nn. The maior wheeled around in his chair, and saw a man stand ing just inside the door. The t1raiier was tall and thin and his black suit contrasted strange ly with his pale face and white hands. "Maim- iJalton noted those J . .... i i luimtfs. hi R( ( HUM! tO HIS I. . . .1" black attire, t lie man s hair ami eyes were of the same sombre ..... . i shade, a pair ol black rimiiuM eveclasses and a black teal ring. Hie olhcor irrvo a sharp iook at his visitor's face, but its dead whitjness was an expressionless . s a mask. "Ahem!" ejaculated the ma ior. "I must introduce myseii, said the stranger, stepping for ward. 'jIy name is I'ellico. I am a chemist, and I am famil iar with the manufacture of ex plosives. J saw your advertise ment and decided to otter my services." He spoke rapidly, in a musi cal voice, with a slight foreign accent. "You arc no american?" said the major. "Italian," briefly responded the other. "I belong to a fam ily of famous chemists, and we have saved nearly every govern ment in Europe." hist ihen the major remem bered that he had a sentry sta tioned in the front of bis oiliee. "Confound it, sir!" he broke out angrily, "how did you get in?" "I beg your pardon," answer ed Tellico', courteously. "When your olHce was pointed out to me I walked in." "But the sentry, the guard?- "Oh, the soldier, 1 simply i i i. i? passeu mm ny. "Yo.i ran a great risk of be ing shot," growled the major. "Xotatall; there was no danger," was the quiet reply. I'ellico's manner impressed the ofiicer, and he asked the vis itor for' his credentials. The man in black prodveed a letter of recommendation from a Spanish ollicer of high rank in Cuba. . "So you hake not been long in this country?" reinnrjpd the confederate. "Ten days. I slipped through the blockades, landed in Flori da, aiuMhcn came here." Further conversation did not cause him to say anything that was inconsistent with the first account of himself. The interview resulted in the engagement of Pellico, and on the following morning he went to work. From the very outset the man in black gave perfect satisfac tion,, but he made no friends. The men called hiu "Mr. Mid night," and the oliiccrs quietly agreed among themselves that -h-wa& a- mystenoTiS7vcry use ful, no doubt, but a very agree able companion. It did not take long to make the discovery that the Italian's bombs and torpedoes were the! best that had ever been made. One night I'ellico made an other visit to the oflice of Alaj. Dalton. "Major," raid he after some talk about powder, gun cotton, Greek lire, and other matters, 'the main object of our explo sive is to destroy the enemy?" 'Urn! well yes, to a certain extent," replied the gallant con federate. ""What do you think then of a boom that it capable of doing a hundred fold more damage than any now in use?" "It would be a big .thing." "Vvell," continued Pellico, "I have invented it, I have a chem ical compound that can be pro jeered into the enemy's lines throuidi the medium of a shell, and when the bhell bursts a deadly vapor spreads over an erea of 200 yards, killing every living thing! One shell is ca pable of killing an entire rsgi ment. "Why. my God, man," ex claimed the major, "that would be murdei !" 'And what is war?'' asked Pellico, in his low, soft voice. The subject did not drop there. The man in black had so much to say about the inven tion that the major found hinw self deeply interested. -This little thine; "said Pdli- co, exhibiting sonieting that looked like a pill covered with tin foil, "would kill a house full of j.t ople." "Let me convince you," urg ed the chemist, "if you will walk a square with me I will show you something." , The major objected but the italial assured him that his in tended victims were several hogs in the rear of the edifice. When they reached the place thev found the hogs quietly snooping in a fence corner. Then 'they retired lii'ty yards or so and Pellico blew his little pili through a hollow cane. "Wait three minutes," he said. At the expiration of the time the two approached the fence corner. Four large hogs lay stretched outon the ground. It roq hired only a giauce to see mat uu;j were all dead. "Jow," said the chemist as they walked away, "this experi ment is on a very small scale, but von can form an idea from what you have seen." 'It is astonishing," comment ed the major. . "Nothing to what I have done." said the man in black. In Cuba I took a sling and threw a ball of that stuff of big as my lit into a village. The next 'morning it was found that all the inhabitants, some BUG or 400, were dead. People out side Hippor-ed that it was some mvftcrions epidemic, but it was l i . i . ii.... t not." Maj. Dalton threw aloof from his compan himself on. "And you killed those inno cent people for nothing?" . ho asked indignantly. "In the interest of science,' my clear major. Resides, they were native Cubans. I would not have treated genuine Span iards tiiat way." The major pulled his mus tache and walked on in silence for a few ii)inutes. "Wont t!6 you suppose?" he asked after jsome rellection. "My scheme is a big one," replied Pellico. "A few little pellets thrown into Libby, Salis bury and Andeifsonville will rid prisoners and save our government no end of expense. Then thev must use my invention in the Meld. The armies of Snerman and Grant will melt away before it, and a few hundred projee tiles fired from long range guns into .New York will turn that metropolis into a city of the dead. "What do oti say?" "Hello, corporal; come here?" vnllnd .tlin rrunniv - oeverai soinicrs ran 10 me spot in a hurray. "Seize him!" shouted the ofii cer, "and take him to the guard house, lie is an enemy, a mur derer, the devil himself, I be lieve. Put hold on search him." "Only some papers and these pill." said the corporal. "I'll take them." said the ma jor. "Iow hustle him off to the guard-house " The major walked with rapid strides to the office of the com mander of the post. The pro vest marshal was summoned as a party to the conference, and other ollicers were called in. The council lasted until a very late hour. Xuver in their whole military experience bed the ollicers been confronted with so serious a problem. When they dispersed the sen tinel outside heard one of them say: "He is a monster, an enemy to the whole human race. We cannot accept his aid, and if we let him go. he may at anv time turn against us and against our people." "There is but one thing to do." said the major. The next day the man in black was found dead on the floor of the guardhouse. Py his side lay a shred of tin foil. "I searched bi4iii" said the corporal, ""and took all those shiny pills away from him. How did that get there I won der, and what in the iniscliies is it, anyhow?" The commander of t lie post, the provest marshal and major Paitoti showed little surprise when they heard of iVllieo's death. The eoriorl, however, heard the p:ovet marshal speak in an undertone to the major. "What did you do with the other jxdlets?" he said. "I rode out io the river and threv.- them in," answered the major. All right," responded the maivhal. "This has leen a strange piece of Inimss from fiit to last, but I don't think our conscience will ever hurt us for our part in it." Long years afierward a gray hairwd confederate veteran men tioned some of the facts of the case to a circle of inter sled lis teners. "I have always thought that he was the devil," said the vet eran. "Did the maior rcaliv kill him?" inquired a lady. The veteran shut one eye and twisted his mustache. "We had better not talk aboirl that," he said. "Pnt yon may rest assured that if he did kill the wretch he haii never re gretted it." Atlanta Constitu tion. She Was Guided Entirely by the Dictates of Her Heart. .

It is strange that vrc get "con flicting reports" about a fight. Eastern newspapers are figur ing upon the probable eleelorial vute of the two parties in 1802. It is a case of large priviousness. The Sultan of Zanzibar, has issued a decree proclaiming that murders shall forfeit their lives,,- Tefthands! China has her troubles. She just now winces und'-r a rebellion in Formosa. Just 1U0 years ago an uprising in that inland coa;t the lives of KJ0.000 Chinese. We have received a little book entitled "Eating for Strength." As it omits to spoak of either on ions or cheese, we cannot recom mend it as a thoroughly candid and reliable work. At least seven cities are claim ing the little girl who, when ask--cd by her Sunday school teacher what the Epistles of the Bible were, replied that they were the wives of the Apostles.' Francis Murphv savs he has inducd 11,000,000 people to sign the totsl abstinence pledge, and that So per cent of them have kept it. This is a r.oble record for the honor of moral tuasion. When William Henry Harri son was elicttd president theie were only 14,000 Federal oHiea hslders, and they worried him fatally sick in a month. Now there are 1G2,G00 ofiices.'and five candidates for each one. It is estimated that $ 100,000 has been sent as Christmas gifts to Ireland from Roston nearly all all of it by the servant giris of thai ; !tt and vicinity during the last week.

It H said that "a Dakota girl . ate twenty oars of gron corn br supper and then went to a party and danced all night." We should think ?he would. Eight ears ot corn are enough to make some p -ople dance all night anil hovi ioo. In Vermont a liquor setter, brought before the courts, urged in defensf thr In had so reduc ed his whisky l y water that a m n c amid not got drunk on it. lie came very near proving Ids cas?, but unfortunately for him, in an urgu irdcd moment he had s ld one glass of unadulterated whisk, and a tine was the con sequence. in 1802 Alexander Hamilton planted on Washington Heights, now a part of New York City, thirteen trees, one for each of the original colonies. They arc all living but one. The green tree planted for North Carolina was blown down a few years ago. It ia now projiosed to destroy the others to opiii a new street. There should be room some oth er place for that street. "Mandy!" almost skrieked the elderly aunt, as she entered the parlor unexpectedly and found the young lady clasped in the arms of a yong man, who was kissing her with every indication that he had had considerable practice, "what on earth does this mean?" "Nothing, but an election bet, auntie" replied Amandy, with a look of heroic martvr-hke resig nation on her lovely face; I lost, yum yum. Go on, Mr. McPoli- can. itow manv was tnair "Talking about swindlers," said old Deacon Hlizzard, "about two years ajo a book peddler come along, and, as we had no Bible in the house, bought one with a pretty red cover, with Holy Bible"' in guilt letters..on the hapTc, and clasps on to it, ami I'm danged if wo didn't dis cover last week that the hook was a volume of census reports for 1S70, with a bogus back; and maybe we'd never found out how we'd been cheated if my wife's sister, who had come to visit us, hatln' gone rumaging through the book, looking for a recipe for mince pies, which Amanda Said she had mislaid somewhere." 1.1 .. h ; Mr
