War Times. MARK TWAIN's SPEECH AT A HARTFORD BANQUET THE TEP.RIBLE TRAMPING HIS COMPANY HAD TO DO FOR LIBERTY. The Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company held their second day's pa rade at Hartford, Connecticut, and in the evening a banquet refreshed the war riors who "shouldered their crutches and showed howfields were won." Mark Twain gave am ccount of how he won a great number of fields by hurriedly tramping over them. His speech is thug " reported by the Boston Post: I wouldn't have missed being here for a good deal. The last time I had the privilege of breaking bread with soldiers was some years ago with the oldest mil itary organization in England, tho An cient and Honorable Artillery Company of London, somewhere about its six hundredth anniversary; and now I have enjoyed this privilege with its eldest child, the oldest military- organization in America, the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts, on this their two hundred and fortieth an niversary. Fine old stock, both of you ; and if you fight as well a you feed, God protect the enemy. I did not as semble at the hotel parlors to-day to be received by a committee as amere civil ian guest. No ; I assembled at the head quarters cf the Putnam Phalanx and in sisted upon my right to be escorted to this place as one of the military guests. i or I, too, am a soldier. I am inured to war. I have a military history. I have been through a stirring campaign, and there is not even a mentioned of it in any history of the United States or of the Southern Confederacy. To such lengths can the envy and malignity of tho historian go. I will unbosom my self here, where I cannot but find sym pathy. I will tell you about it and ap peal through you to justice. Intheearli est summer days of the war, I slipped out of Hannibal, Missouri, by night, with a friend, and joined a detachment of the rebel General Tom Harris' army, up a gorge behind an old barn in Kalis County. Col. Halls, of Mexican war celebrity, swore us in. He made us swear to uphold the flag and Constitution of the United States, and to destroy every other military organization that we caught doing the same thing, which being interpreted means that we were to repel invasion. Well, you see this mixed us. We couldn't really tell which side we were on. But we went into camp and left it to the God of battles. For that was the term then. I was made Second Lieutenant and Chief Mogul of a company of eleven men who knew nothing about war nor anything, for we had no captain. My friend, who was nineteen years old, six feet high, three feet wide and some distance through and just out of the infant school, was made orderly sergeant. His name was Ben Tupper. He had a hard time. When he was mounted, and on the march, he used to go to sleep, and his horse would reach around to bite him on the leg, and then he would wake up and cry and curse and want to go home. The other men pestered him a good deal, too. When they were dismounted they said they couldn't march in double file with him because his feet took up so much room. One night, when we were around the camp-fire, come fellow on the outside in the cold said: "Ben Tupper, put down that news paper; it throws the whole place into twiJight. and casts a shadow like a blanket." Ben said: "I ain't got any newspaper." Then the other fellow said: "Oh, I see; 'twas your ear." We all slept in a corn crib, on the corn, and the rats were very thick. Ben. Tupper had been carefully and rightly reared, and when he was ready for bed he would start to pray and a rat would bite him in the heel. And then he would sit up and swear all night and keep everybody awake. He was town-bred and did not seem to have any correct idea of military discipline. If I commanded him to shut up, he would say: "Who was your nig ger last year ?" One evening I ordered him to ride out about three miles on picket duty, to the beginning of a prairie, haul lie: " bat, in the night, and them blamed Union soldiers likely to be prowling around there any time?" So he wouldn't go, and the next morn ing I ordered him again. Said he: "In the rain? I think I see myself!" He didn't go. Next day I ordered him on picket duty once more. This time he looked hurt. Said he: "What, on Sun day; you must be a d d fool." Well, picketing might have been a very good thing, but I saw it was impracticable, so I dropped it from my military system. Wo had a good enough time there at the burn, barring the rats and the musqui toes and the rain. We levied on both parties impartially, and both parties hated us impartially. But one day we heard that the invader was approaching. So wo had to pack up and move, of eourse, and within twenty-four hours he was coming again. So we moved again. Next day he was after us once more. Well, we didn't like it much but we moved rather than make trouble And this went on for a week or ten days, and we saw considerable scenery. Then Ben Tripper's patience was lost. Said he: "War is not what it's cracked up to be. I'm going home if I cau't ever git a chance to sit down a minute. Why do these people keep us humpin' around so ? Blame their skins, do they think this is an excursion ?" Some of the other town boys got to grumbling. They complained that there wad an insufficiency of umbrellas. So I sent around to the farmers and borrow ed what I could. Then they complained that the Worcestershire sauce was out. There was mutiny and dissatisfation all aiound, and of course, at such a time as this the invader must come around pest ering us again; as much as two hours before breakfast, too, when no one want ed to turn out, of course. This was carrying the thing too far. The whole command felt insulted. I detached one of my aides and sent him to the briga dier and asked him to assign us a dis trict where there wasn't so much bother going on. The history of our campaign was laid before him; but instead of be ing touched by it, what did he do ? He sent back an indignant message and said: "You have had a dozen chances inside ot two weeks to capture the enemy and he is still at large. (Well, we 'knew that !) Stay where you are this time or I will court-martial and hang the whole of you." Well, I submitted this brutal message to my battalion and ask ed their advice. Said the Orderlv Ser geant: "If Tom Harris wants the enemy, let him come here and get him. I ain't got any use for my share, and who's Tom Harris anyway, I'd like to know, that's putting on so many frills. Why, I knew turn when he wasn't anything but a darned telegraph operator. Gentlemen yoa eau do as you choose. As for me, I ve got enough of this sashying around so s t you can't get a chance to pray, be cause the time is all required for cuss ing, so off goes my war-paint. You hear me !" The whole regiment said with one voice, "That's the talk for me. So there and then, on the spot, my brigade disbanded itself and tramped off home, with me at the tail of it. I hung up my own sword and returned to the arts of peace, and there were people who said I hadn't been absent from them yet. We were the first men that went into the service in Missouri; were the first that went out of it anywhere. This, gentle men, is the history of the part which my. division took in the great rebellion, and such is the military record of its Commander-in-Chief, and this is the first time that the deeds of those warriors have been brought of ficially to the notice of humanity. Treas ure these things in your hearts. And so shall the detected and truculent his torians of this land be brought to shame and confusion. I ask you to fill your glasses and drink with mo to the rever ent memory of the orderly sergeant and those other neglected and forgotton heroes, my footsore and travelstained naladins. -who were first in war, first in peace and were not idle during the in terval that lay between. Wakened to Die. PARISIAN MONSTER OUILLOTIXF.D SICKENING SCENE OF TERROR. Pierre Jeau Welker, the odious assas sin of a little girl in Rue Nationale, Paris she was eight, and he strangled her with her skipping-rope and went to sleep, using her corpse as his pillow has been guillotined. The warrant des ignated as the hour "about 5:30 a. m.," and somewhat after midnight the ma chine arrived and was noiselessly set up with wooden screws, only 150 persons being attracted to the scene besides the military and police. One of them was a woman. It was 4:48 when M. Koch had everything in working order and tried the fall of the axe; then he and his assistants, Jacob, the chief of the detec tive service, and the Abbe Crozes, who has accompaniod so many scores of murderers to the guillotine, and whose hack, No. 148, is as much a part of the procession as M. Koch's van, entered the prison. Welker was a fearful cow ard, who had wept and moaned and torn his hair when sentence was passed and when he was placed in the condemned cell, but he believed the merciful false hood that forty days must elapse before the carrying out of sentence, which jail attendants always tell to confiding pris oners; and thinking he had still some time left to him, and also having faith that his petition for mercy would bo heard, he had gotten over his terror, ate freely and slept soundly. So soundly was he sleeping this morning that neither the opening of his cell door nor the light of the lanterns disturbed him. Jacob shook him by the shoulder, and the clerk said loudly: "Wake up, Wel ker, your petition has been rejected; von must urepare to die. A Jiorrioie sound, half the cry of a wild beast, half j a ueatu-raiue, luaueu. nuui iuc uuu o throat, and he fell back on his bed. con vulsively biting the coverlet. "Have you anything to say? Do you want some brandy?" asked Jacob; but Welk er did not hear him, and lay racked by convulsive shudders. He was lifted out of bed and made a vain effort to draw on his trousers, but he could not stand and tumbled again upon his couch. The veins of his forehead and temples stood out like knotted cordage, his eyes were filmy, his jaw had fallen and a eold sweat was pouring down his ashy face. The Abbe Crozes spol:e to him earnestly. Koch asked, "Do I hurt you?" as he bound his hands, but Welker made no answer, heard nothing, was as one dead. Indeed the attendants were urged to make haste or he would die of fright in their hands. Two of them had to carry him out with his arms around their necks, his head hanging on the right shoulder, and his legs trailing on the stones behind them. The priest walked backwards before him to shut out the sight of the machine of death, but the merciful precaution was needless. Welker knew nothinsr. His bodv fell upon the plank like a bag of sand, and a moment later the ax fell. Owing to the difficulty of placing tho inert body in position, the ax shored away the head diagonally, taking off a part of one shoulder, and leaving a part of the jaw attached to the other. So largo was the murderer's skull that it got jammed in the bucket into which it fell and could only bo shaken out by pounding on the inverted vessel. It was 4:48 when the officers entered the prison to take out their man; it was 5:06 when the ax fell, the time occupied being three minutes j less than was taken in the case of Billoir. Koch thinks that with all circumstances favoring him he can reduce the time to twelve minutes that is to say, there will be for the criminal an interval of less than ten minutes between sleep and death. But how many ages of mental agony in those ten minutes ! B. Franklin's Great Discovebi Slighted. "Bangs" vouches for the truth of the following anecdote: Mr. Gately and his neighbor, an old Green street resident, frequently have chats about old times and things, and they both claim that their grandfathers wer e soldeirs in the Revolution. They oc casionally get mad during their discus sions, and some of their statements are exceedingly silly and perverted. They were at their old rendezvous in the fiah market the other day, when, replying to some idiotic statement made by the old resident, Gately said: "You alius seem to think that Ben. Franklin know ed more'n all creation. Ho didn't have no more to do with the capturing of Crown P'int and Ticonderogy than I did. He wa'nt no soldier, and the only thing he ever done in the fightin line was when he an' old Columbus and William Penn and a few more of them old fellers went down ter Weymouth Land in' and killed a few Injins. Old Franklin got his name up after he in vented lightnin,' which in my opinion was the worst thing ever dona. Light nin's caused more deaths than collery ." The old resident leaped down from an oyster bar, and with his features kinked up with disgust, he muttered: "Lemme git out o' this ! Sich ign'rance right undc r the shadder of Harvard is cussed." The Kev. Dr. Scott, in a sermon yes terday on God's method of dealing with sin, assured his congregation that idiots are Raved by Christ without any doubt. We know a number of newspapers of fices in this city where Dr. Scott's cheering words must have fallen like the blessed rain upon the parched fields. Legions of reporters and many propri etors, who despaired of salvation under ordinary terms, are to-day blithe and gay, for the shining robes await them and their heavily harps are attuned. 5. F. Daily Ex-change. A Woman's Terrible Agony. FEARFUL SCENE AT THE DEATH-BEI OK A HYDROPHOBIA VICTIM. The death of Mrs. Lizzie Webber from hydrophobia in the Boston Hospi tal was attended with most horrible symptoms. On the 31st day of July, she was bitten through the nail of the middle finger of the right hand by her pet dog, a black-and-tan. Some boys in the street were worrying and teasing the dog, until at last the animal, goaded to anger, turned and bit six persons, four adults and two children. Five of them promptly had the bite cauterized, and the sixth is unknown. Mrs. Web ber, to punish the dog, grasped him and cuffed his ears, when he bit her fiDger as stated. Three hours after the infliction of the bite she went to the Massachusetts General Hospital to have the same operation performed, but the doctors tola her it was too late to be of any service. She thought no more of the matter, and experienced no ill effect, until last Friday, when she had a severe headache, and the next day she experi enced a severe pain extending from the right shoulder down to the hand which she thought to be a touch of rheuma tism. On Sunday she was chilly, all day, and at night experienced a violent heart-beating, and great difficulty in breathing the breath coming in short, quick gasps. Two prominent physi cians were in attendance, but she could not take their medicine. Tliey decided the case to be a bad cold. Monday the patient kept her bed the breathing dif ficulty increasing, with great nervous ness. The slightest noise, such as the closing of a door or the moving of a fan, or sound of a footstep, would cause her to jump violently to the floor, and it required the united efforts of her at tendants to quiet her. She began to show great aversion to water; but the doctors had no suspicions of the real nature of the disorder, which gradually grew worse and worse. She expressed a desire for various articles of food and drink, but when they were offered to her she found herself utterly incapa ble of eating or drinking anything; in fact, from Sunday morning until the hour of her death, Tuesday afternoon, she ate and drank nothing. At times, Tuesday afternoon, she felt quite easy, and the next moment the severe gasp ing for breath would come on, and she would jump up and down and dash wildly about. She would grasp her at tendants by the dress and thrust as much as bhe could into her mouth, tell ing them at the same time, however, that she would not bite them. She was next seized with severe and unmistaka ble convulsions, accompanied by froth ing at the mouth. Morphine was given Then a pail of scalding hot water was procured, and the patient's feet placed in it. One of the lady attendants poured hot water upon the head of the victim, all of which she bore without flinching, m fact she declared it made her feel better. At times she would stamp her feet upon the floor so rapidly and vio lently as to shake the house, and in the meantime her difficulty in breathing in creased. Another trial of the water pail caused her to bound back to the other side of the bed, and experience a severe convulsion. She was taken to the hospital, in a sort of ambulance, held by fastenings around her body un tne way sue made a growling or barking noise. At the hospital, where, about three-quarters of an hour after her arrival, she was lying apparently comfortable, sho suddenly gave her arms and feet a violent twitch, her countenance turned black, and she breathed her last. After her death a consultation was had by the physicians at the hospital; the best authorities upon the subject of hydrophobia were looked up and quoted, and it was unani mously decided by the physicians that it was a gemiine case of hydrophobia The Horrors of a Turkish Execc tion. As we walked through the town yesterdav morning we could not avoid coming upon five street executions and witnessing the whole disgusting pro ceeding?, not that they Were to me any novelty, for during the two or three davs I was in Adrianople it seemed as if I could never get out of the sight of men dangling in the air. As soon as a likely looking shop is reached say one with sun blinds supported with brack ets the officer cries "Halt!" and a sol dier, carrying a stool and a rope, steps on one side and arranges the latterover the bracket. The mau steps on to the stool, the noose is placed around his neck, and he is drawn off his feet. There is no drop, but in every case, I am told, the poor wretch diea just as those we saw did that is to say, instan taneously, and apparently with little pain, being, in fact, choked instead of having the neck broken. I have dwelt upon this, not to satisfy the morbid craving for details in such matters, but to call the attention of some scientific man to the subject; for if our patent drops and new-fangled hanging appara tus are not so merciful as the older method of hanging, then our capital criminals are punished in excess of what the law demands. To be hanged by the neck till one is dead is quite a different thing from having the neck partially broken and the circulation of the blood, and perhaps the- nervous system generally stimulated into intenso activitv.

The fishermen living on the lonely Island of Hitteren, off the coast of Norway, have had for generations a tradition that in shoals near the island, over a century ago, a large ship was wrecked. Divers searched for the vessel this summer, and easily found her. Since then por tions of the cargo, including ninety-six cannon, twelve anchors and 200 pounds of lead have been recovered. The can non bear the date of 1716. It has been discovered that the ill-fated ship was a Russian man-of-war, and that while on a voyage from Cronstadt to Archangel in 17G0 she was wrecked. There was silence in the school, says the Danbury JVeirs. The teacher had struck the "bell calling attention, and every eye was bent upon her. This was a favorable opportunity for the spread of information, and one of the little boys perceiving it, raised his hand. "What is it, Johnny?" asked the teach er. "Tommy Migg's father's cow has got a calf," shouted the excited young ster, his face aglow with the intelli gence. The teacher wilted.

COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY, UNIVERSITY CF CALIFORNIA, There Ji Danger Ahead When those usually active littlo organs, the kidneys, are neglectful of their duties ami prow sluggish, fatty degeneration, Bright' disease, diabetes, and other dangerous maladies, are the result of neglect to remedy thia inactiv ity by medicinal means.

KXTKA(Tfi, RSSKXI i:s, iesox siuai:, tyre r. KiKUEi: co. l'or the benefit of our readers it has been our aim to make mention of some of the leading houses in the various branches of busi ness with which onr city abound - : and while in pursuit of our vocation a few uj;h since, we called upon the above named lirni," who occupy commodious quarters at No. 511 front street. They are manufacturers of all kinds of flavor ing extracts, and, despite all competition, have been constantly gaining favor. People in search of good flavoring extracts are generally bewil dered by the multiplicity of articles claimed to he Buch that are pressed upon them, each stren uously claiming pre-eminent excellence on all points. No doubt this mode of gaining public attention is shrewd, if not very caudid, since public opinion is often influenced more by the boldness of an assertion than by its pro veil ve racity. Practically there are only two kinds of such articles offered to the public for family use : adulterated and pure ; and the former so largely predominates over the latier that a few years ago there was but little prepared of the latter grades. Now, however, we see a change, and after visiting the establishment of Messrs. ltie ger A Co. we arc satisfied that from one source at least Hows a stream of pure goods goods which, when once tried, will sell on their merit alone. Mr. Paul Bieger is a practical chemist of many years' experience, and from a small, unpretentious beginning some five years ago he has, by strict attention to business, care in the manufacture and promptness in tilling orders, succeeded in establishing himself on a firm ba sis. His trade to-day extends all over tho coast, and among his customers he can count most of the leading grocery and liquor houses of our city. Among the specialties of the firm are extracts of lemons, vanilla, nutmeg, clovos, rose, bitter almonds, strawberry, raspberry, pineapnle, etc., sugar of lemon and" treble pure extra extract of Jamaica Ginger. These are all distilled on the Jiremises under the personal supervision of 31 r. tieger himself, and are consequently of the very best quality and fully equal, if not supe rior, to tne very nest ever imported. .These ex- ! tracts are put up in five different sizes in bottles i containing from two ounces to a pint and are of two degrees 01 sirengtn. The concentrated tx-1 tracts have been long and favorably known, but j the treble extracts, though of more recent in troduction, arc much superior and fast drivlne even uie very nest ot loreign productions from our market, They are three times as strong as the concentrated" extracts and cost as much again. The lemon sugar turned out by this firm deserves notice here, as it is recognized as the very best manufactured on this coast, while the essence of Jamaica Ginger is no less deserving of a word. It is made from the root imported directly by the firm, is superior to any in the market, and is put in handsome large "4 ounce bottles, being larger than any Jamaica Ginger bottles in California. The labels are elegant ones, in five different colors. The firm also deal in strictly pure bi-carbon-ate of soda, and manufacture and sell the purest salerattis both articles being put up in 15 ounce packages. Strictly pure prepared whiting, free from tiiit, warranted not to injure tho finest fabric. is another of their specialties. AVe might add in this connection that tho facilities enjoyed by the firm for obtaining raw material for "the manufacture of their different goods are unsur passed and give the firm in question a prr stigo over other houses of similar nature, whose ope rations are on a more limited scale. In conclu sion wo will state for tho firm that they sell only to the wholesale trade and therefore any of our readers who wish to give these goods a trial should order the same of the wholesale house with which they are doing business. They will find all the goods of this firm fully up to the standard and, what is more important, just as represented. S. Commercial. SVKII'S, CORDIALS. IIITTEH. SEXCES, WIXES. ETC. ES- THE REWARD OK INDUSTRY AND TERTKISE. EN We, as curators and chroniclers of the business interests and manufactures of the me tropolis of the Golden Stats, which is the great center of all trade on the Tacific Coast, meet with agreeable surprises every day in the way of some t- us unknown or rather unexplored man ufactory. The number and extent of these fac tories are, when we for a moment reflect on the youth of our city, remarkable. What thirty years ago was a desolate and almost unpeopled waste has grown into a flourishing city of nearly 300,000 inhabitants, whose magnificent build ings and numerous manufactories are the pride of our citizens and the admiration and wonder of the world. We chanced, a few days siuce, in our peregrinations, upon the establishment of McMillan .t ICester, No. 714 Front street, near Uroadway. They are manufacturers and dealers in Cor dials, Syrups, Bitters, Essences, California Wines, etc., which have acquired a reputation for par errplleuve. everywhere. The house has been established 25 years, Messrs. McMillan V Kester succeeding thirteen yetrs ago, the old firm, with whom they had be'en connected since the origin of the business in this city. Thoir productions are but a synonym for purity and excellence, believing that integrity is the surest and safest highway to eminence," popular esti mation and conscientiousness. THE FACTOKY. Under the guidance of Mr. McMillan we went through the building, a commodious three story edifice, the largest factorv of the kind on the coast, and consequently doing the largest business of any similar concern west of tho Mississippi. In the third story the proc; hs be gins with the melting of the purest cube and and crushed white sugar in large copper kettles heated by steam from a boiler in the basement. from these it runs down to tho filter tanks, thence to tho mixing vat on the second floor where the pure simple svrup is treated to anv fruit juice and it becomes raspberry, pineapple, etc., syrnp. From these vats it descends into other receptacles in the basement where it is barrelled and bottled for the trade. That their syrups are regarded as the best in the mar ket is shown by the absence of any impor portations. As we passed through the apart ments we remarked tho cleanliness of every thing and thatamong the many employees thero were no Chinese. This is another commendable feature and is an example of the interebt they have in their own race, "That charity begins at home." When all of our own worthy laborers are employed it will be time to look for outbid aid from "the Celestials. On the second floor their essence of Jamacia Ginger, which has no superior, is made and bottled. It is sold un der two names : "Turner's Essence of Jamaica Ginger," and "McMillan & Kestr-r's Essence of Jamaica Ginger,1' tho only difference be ing that one is put up in a" smaller bottle than the other. W e now descend to the bottling and packing department in the basement, a scene of bustle and activity. This department contains many barrels, tanks, and hogsheads containing liltters, Wines etc. They ure the solo owners of Dr. Wonser's U. S. A. Iudian Root Ritters. They also make Wormwood, Cocktail, Stomach, S tough ton, and Calitornia ine Bitters. Of the virtues of bitters as a tonic and invigorator all are cognizant. The boxes for shipping are made on the premises. Btcuring two objects a better made box and requiring less room for storage.
