Umth, f Lockort, tbat he was tho first person to volunteer in the Union army in 1861 has been Bucccwiully deputed by Col. T. J. Kennedy, of Auburn. Capt. ' Bosh's claim u made on the fact that ha had been anticipating the call for . troops by President Lincoln aftor the firing on Fort Sumter and had not toft the telegraph office in Lockport in ex- All. ' At noon on April io mo nuws that the President had issued the call for troops was received. Bush ran at nee to his place of buainajA, drew up an enlistment roll and signed it Ho then proceeded . to enlist others. Ho raised a company, was made captain, and went to the front with the first troops. This fact has b n a source of much pride to Capt. Bush, and has made him widely known. Col. Kennedy, of Auburn, sets up tlu) Jaira that as early as November, 18U(J, seeing that an armed strngglo between the north and the south was inevitable-, he urged tho immediate enlist men t of men to bo drilled in anticipation of sail for troops. In January, 1801, he ppliod to Governor Morgan for author Ky to enlist a company, and his anplica. , Hon was placed on 111 o Jan. 17. Ho did mot wait to rccoivo tho authority, but proceeded to enlist men. When Fort lumler was tired on, April 13, 1801, ho had 175 men under drill. He otTerod the services of -himself and montothe aUto tho same day, and tho samo day kis enlistment roll, his namo being tho first one upon it, was received and en tered in the adjutant general's office. There were too many men for one com pany, so a full oompuny was selected from them and became Company C of tho Nineteenth regiment, Si. x. o. v., f which regiment Kennedy was mado olonol. The remainder of tho men ho abated were distributed among other companies. Tho claim mado by Col. Kennedy is supported by records of tho state. That Capt. But-h was tho first volunteer under tho call of President Linooln for troops, howovor, thoro is arobably no doubt. Hiving Artificial Colon to Flower. Milwaukee Wisconsin.

I will not attempt to describe tho indescribable and would mniidv iiiitn fur tlin Ixtnellt nf fntura travelers that tho effect of Niagara is as ' follows: On the first day it is distinctly dinppointing; the roar of tho waters is not so loud, tho fall so high or tho cur rent so fierce as was imagiiiod. On the second day this natural though irra tional disappointment has bceu gradu ally and unconsciously swallowed up by the waterfall, which has become omni present, tremeudous and soul absorbing.

Rome New Yorker Who Have Made a million or So. New York Star. "Can yon tell me about some of the rich men with whom you have been ac quainted?" "Well, my personal acquaintance has extended to a few millionaires. There was Mr. William E. Dodge. He was very wealthy, and he made use of a great deal of his money in promoting religious and reformatory measures. In many respects he was a remarkably good man. I knew Mr. A. Stewart. I saw him a few months before his death and had a talk with him at his house. He informed me that one of the m?ans by which he had commanded success was the system of giving people who purchased goods from him the full worth of their money. Mr. Theodore B. Stout was one of the ableBt bankers and brokers I ever knew. I suppose I must includo Mr. Demas Barnes in my list of very rich men ; but Demas lost a portion of his money in the newspaper business. Isuppoio Mr. W. K. Conner is worth a million dollars. Hon. John Morrissey, the Harpers, Moses Taylor, Hollis L. Powers. Jim Fhdc, M. O. Roberts, J. P. Hall and Jim Bennett can also be appended to the list. I p re sumo there are a score of millionaires who do not lot tho world know that they have so much money. Many rich men are misers and take a delight in giving the impression that thoy are comparatively poor. Andrew Stout, presidont of the New York Shoo and Loather bank, started business as a school teacher. He went into trade, and after several reverses made a fortune. Bussell Sage began his business life as a clerk in a mercan tile house in Troy. He showed marked capacity and superior judgment, and at 20 went into business on liis own ao count. Now he is one of the chief men of Wall street. He lives in elegant style, and has his home on tilth avenue. He keeps elegant carriages and fine horses. Bev. Matthew Hale Smith said of him : "Mr. Sage uses his (rreat wealth with wisdom, and grate fully as a Christian should do. From boyhood np his careor has been a re markable one. His industry is a habit. He walkod surely up throrgh all the grades of storoboy, clerk, salesman, ro tailer and wholesale dealer. Ho relied on no chances, but trustod lovel-hoadod-nofcs, fidelity, and strong common sense. Beferring to the late Commodore Vanderbilt the same writer said : "He dressed like a college professor or a well-endowed clergyman. His neck tie was snowy, like his hair. Ho lived in a down-town mansion, roomy and full of comfort, aftor the order of the old Knickerbockers. His otlice was a plain, unpretentious room, and his style of lifo very simple." Although the above was wr.tton or the commo dore, the name remarks could not apply to somo of the surviving members of his family. Paran Steven", when a bo, wat en ployed in a rtublo.

I am a bald-headed man, myself, and I think that feller oasis retleetions on every man in the house." It was with difficulty that ho was quieted, but finally ho sat down. After awhile one of the hotel men struck a match on the clerk's head, and the sympathizing citi zen raved until the police removed him. l.auch or try f fllitm Transxript In middle life we laugh quito merrily over our early photographs; wonder if e should laugh or cry if in youth we could see tho pictures of v. hat wo shall le whon wo arrive at midd'o life I She Sal There.

Variety In Living. Cor. Chicago Tribune. In no city on tho globe are there so many ways of living as In tho city of New Y'ork. Ono may live hero as one pleases, in the most sumptuous or the most simple manner, or, if so minded, one may not live at all. A man may spend a million or keen breath In his body on $100 a year. Few of our citizens have any just concep tion what luxuries aro necessary to some of their fellows, and what common ne cessities aro luxuries to others. The latest effeminacy and the last senat or are often not more than a singlo liloek apart. In adjoining houses that look ex actly alike arc every comfort and even' privation ; superabundance smiling through tho walls ut starvation, tho chaplet of roses against the ciownof thorns. No New Yorker knows or cares for his neigh bor, unless by accident; ho is always ig norant where anybody residcs.and is as dis tant in mind nnd maimer from his fellow citizens as If they were, his antipodes. Here you may livo where, how, and with whum you liko, and no one Le tho wiser. Not even curiosity is felt about you; and it is measurably from this general indiffer ence that people live so differently, aud often so queerly. The Urahmln Lady Dortor. Saratoga Cor.

"Who is tho 'Uncle Remus' story teller" I asked of my companion, as we rode through that prettiest of pretty streets, Feachtree, one afternoon, for, like every ono else who has rend those charming bubbles of fables and fancy, told in such perfect negro dialect, I was not satisfied with the mere knowledge that the author's name was Joel Chand ler Harris and bis position on the editor ial staff of The Atlanta Constitution. "My information is limited," was the response, "for the simple reason that Mr. Harris is moro shy of women than Edison ever was, which is saying a great dud, and the mere sight of petticouts is enough to send him flying. How he ever knew ono of the sex well enough to marry her is a mystery.

Mr. Harris was asked to try his hand at them. With nico feeling he refused to take ad vantage of 'Uncle Si,' and chose for his medium 'Undo Bcmus.' They met with such popularity nnd appreciation that ho was encouraged to write a book, which was an immediate success. The Scribncr's invited him to contribute to their magazine, nnd now pay him a reg ular monthly salary, which, with tho in como from his works, for he did not stop with ono volume, and his salary on the paper here, has mado his circumstances most comfortable " Just then we" stopped to get somo blackberries think of it, blackberries in May! when a man sped by, leaving a red streak in the air.

On one occasion, when Senator John P.
