SAVED BYA. SECOND.
'ON THE BRINK OF ETEENITT.
Mow One f Iilneoln'8 Reprieves
Was Ielayed by a Break In
the IViren.
"The most impressive sight I ever
'saw, I think, was at Harper's Ferry
, in '65," said Detective C. W. McElroy
! yesterday afternoon. The detective
is a member of I'erkins' Agency, ana
was at one time Sheriff of Oswego
County, X. V. The conversation was
brought about by a remark upon the
impressiveness of the funeral services
over General Grant.
"The sinht of a man coinc to his
1 own funeral, with the band playing a
dead march, is calculated to impress
one," he continued. "That is the
case, j'ou know, with a man con
demned to death by court-martial.
The case of a hiclt 1 spoke happened
in January, 1SG5, and the wonderful
escatM) of" the condemned parties is
' something I shall never forget. Two
Irishmen, John bhea aim Michael
Doane, had been sentenced to be shot
for desertion. There was considera
ble feeling in favor of the men. It
was in the time of big bounties, and
the two young men had enlisted for
something like $1,000 apiece. In a
few days they were both missing, and
were not caught for three or four
weeks. They were drunk, and their
money was about gone. The truth of
the matter was that it was no case of
willful desertion. The men had got
on a drunk, and had never sobered
up enough to realize their position.
They were badly frightened, and wcro
attciided by two priests. I can re
member the place well. They wer&
marched up on a little hill on a level
plateau, and the soldiers thrown into
three sides of a hollow square. The
two men, accompanied by their
priests, and preceded by the band
playing the dead march, weremarched
around the inside of this square and
stopped nearly in the center, by tho
side of their open coffins. The priests
were in earnest conversation with
them, and the minutes rolled by till
they grew into an hour. Twelve
o'clock came, and General Stevenson
gave orders for the priests to leave
the men. Very reluctantly they did
so, prolonging their leave-taking upon
one pretext and another as long as
they could. Everything was at last
made ready and it was only a matter
of seconds between the men, .and
eternity, when the General's orderly
rode up, twinging his hat and yelling
at the top of his voice. It was a
reprieve from Lincoln.
"It seems that the priests had tel
egraphed tho President the night be
fore, asking for a reprieve, and stating
that there were mitigating circum
stances. Lincoln, who was always
looking for an excuse to save a man's
life, reprieved them. General Stev
enson's head-quarters were nearly a
mile from where we were, and the
telegraph office was at his head
quarters. He had left a mounted
orderly there with instruction to rush
through any dispatch that came.
Nothing came until a few minutes be
fore 12, and the orderly dashed away.
Ho had to go up a steep'hill, nearly
half a mile long. When he reached
the top his horse was badly winded,
and could hardly go. He met a citi
zen on a good horse, and without any
ceremony pulled the gentleman down
and mounted the fresh animal. Half
a minute's delay would have been
the last of Messrs. Doane and Shea.
"A strange part of the story is yet
to come. Some tliree years afterward
I met an old telegraph operator in
Oswego. He was in Washington in
the winter of '64 and '65. We got to
talking over war matters, and I found
that he remembered the case I have
told you about. He was in charge ol
the wire leading to Harpers' Ferry.
He had heard of the two men to be
executed there, though the operator.
They had discussed the matter over
the wires. Consequently he remem
bered the case well. Upon he morn
ing of the execution, at 10 o'clock,
the dispatch reprieving the men was
handed him to send out. He turned
to his deskand what was his horror
to find that he couldn't work the wire.
A storm was in progress, or somethinc
else was the matter. At any rate
the wire would not work. There was
no other way of reaching Harper's
Ferry. Tho dispatch he didn't get
off until just before 12, but, as it hap
pened, in good time; but he told me
it was an experience he would never
forget. Altogether, it was a prettv
close shave for the two Irishmen, and
I don't believe they ever forgot the
accident either." Pittsburg Dis
patch. It Teuched His Vaalty.
Mrs. Ward Politician. "I do wish
vou would stop that habit of smoking.
It will eventually kill you."
Mr. Ward Politician. "Kill me!
What makes you think that?"
"Well, for instance, there was Gen
eral Grant, who died from the effects
of a cancer produced by smoking ; and
Senator Hill died from the same
cause, and so it is with a great many
other prominent men and statesmen
of the country."
"Prominent men and statesmen?
Humph ! Yes, I guess I had better
quit it, too." Philadelphia Call.

THE GOOD QUEEX OP ITALY.
An Italian correspondent of the
Tngleside says :
It would be shameful ingratitude il
we were not proud and fond of our
king and queen, and of the whole
House of Savoy that has done so
much for Itaty. No ono appeals in
vain to the queen's kind heart ; she
finds the way of helping and com
forting every one. While driving out
one day and as she was returning to
the palace, she was sudde-ly sur
prised by a man tossing a small child
into her carriage. She immediately
took the crying child a little ragged
baby of about two and a half or three
years old on her knees, patted and
kissed it, and insisted on taking it to
the palace with her. The child held
a petition in its' hands, from its
father, who had been a soldier, but,
having recently been sick, was now
seeking employment, and "in great
poverty. That same evening the
child was sent back to its home with
a message of help from tho queen to
the poor man.
JULES FERRY AND THE ORG AX OF
NOTRE DAME.
The Paris correspondent of the
New York World says:
Jules Ferry came back to Paris a
few days ago. He was to remain
away for two years, but Pari3 seems
to have attractions for him that he
cannot resist. The wags of the cafes
say that after his arrival in Paris ho
went to mass to Notre Dame to hear
the grand organ play. It is known
that the former Prime Minister has a
passion for listening to the great
organ of Notre Dame, and the story
is told that on one occasion, after
leaving the church, he whispered in
the ear of a friend, in a voice of
gloomy foreboding : "That organ will
bring me to believe in God yet, if I
don't quit going to listen to it."
TnE PRESIDENT AND TnE KENTUCKY
GIRL.
A Washington correspondent tells
this one :
A Kentucky Congressman's pretty
daughter visited Washington re
cently. She went up to President
Cleveland upon the occasion ot a
White House reception and said:
"I'll bet a horse you don't know
who I am."
. Tho president was eqyjldio thec
casion." '
"No," said he, "I don't know who
you are, but I'll bet a horse you are
from Kentucky."
"Shake," said the young lady and
she has been on good terms with the
President ever since.
OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES' CHEAP
LECTURE.
Several famous writers and ora
tors of Boston were speaking of their
lecture experience, when the subject
of pay was brought up. Each was
certain he had received the smallest
sum. But Dr. Holmes made a climax
by saying: '"'Listen, gentlemen. I
had engaged to give a lecture for $5.
After it was over a grave-looking
deacon came to me and said: 'Mr.
Holmes, we agreed to give you $5,
but your talk wasn't just what we
expected, and I guess tew-fiftv will
dew.' "
Insertion Differs with ?IIsri C'h)ve
land.
"If Miss Cleveland condemns the
pjetry of George Eliot," says Inger
m11, "she has made a mistake. There
is no poem in our language more
beautiful than 'The Lovers,' and
i.oiio loftier or purer than 'The Choir
Inisible.' There is no poetry in
tin 'beyond. The poetry is here
here in this orld where "love is in
the heart. The poetry of the 'be
von.r is too far awav a little too
;iMiral. Shelley's 'Sky Lark' was
in our sky the 'Daisy' of Burns
prew on our ground; and between
that iark and that daisy is room for
all the real poetry of the earth."

An Internil Eeiolutlon
Which enahles the stomach to throw off the
yoke of dyspepsia, is effected through the aid
of nostcttei's Stomach Bitters, a most effi
cient ally in warring with all disorders which
affest the digestirc organs, the liver and the
howrls. When the dyspeptic experiences
heartburn, wind on the stomach, or any tf
the other familiar symptoms of his malady,
a wineglass full of this matchless stomachic
will dissipate them, and a pursuance of the
remedy brine; about a cure. Constipation
and biliousness, ovils to tho relief of which
aperients and cathartics are inadequate, also
yield to this due alterative. The restora
tion of appetite and nightly repose, and the
disappearance of those nerrous symptoms
that habitually annoy the chronic sufferer
from dyspepsia also ensne upon the use of
the-Bitters, which Is likewise a staudard

and debility.
Hunting "Water with a Baboon.
If when upon a long hunt or jour
ney the Katfir be unable for a long '
time to find water, he sometimes
avails himself of the instinct of one
of those animals which he frequently
keeps in a domesticated stat the I
baboon, or chacma. The baboon
takes the lead of the party, being at- ,
tached to a long rope, and allowed to
run about as it likes. When it comes
to a root of babiana it is held back
until the precious vegetable can be
taken entire out of the ground, but in
order to stimulate the animal to
further exertions it is allowed to eat
a root now and then, The search for
water is conducted in a similar man
ner. The wretched baboon is inten
tionally kept without drink until it is
half mad with thirst and is then led
by a cord as before mentioned. By
what signs the animal is guided no '
ono can even conjecture, but if water
is in the neighborhood tho baboon U '
sure to find it. American Field.
How She Keforracd" Him.
"Does vour husband go to the J
lodge, Mrs. Gibberick?"
"Well, ho just don't. I broke up
that little game quite a while ago."
"Why, how in the world did you
do it?"
"Whenever he started for the lodge
I went with him as far as the skating
rink, and told him tocall for me on
his way home. It only took a few
doses to cure him."
