Out of the great excitement of the War Tnn nmm Mbta i pe fantastic gajety, 8 wfld sort of gambling for the purpose of amuse- mentor pastime. Those who visit Carmagnole frenzy, Society did strar.tt things. Women would dance the jrorman ux ft fashionable New York party with their hair hanging in long streamers down their backs, while the young men would fteize those beautiful tresses for reins and drive the fair women with imitation whipa. Everybody was half mad. And after the war was over these women, to whom philanthropy had become a busi ness, found it hard to return to the com mon everyday work of life. Bo Mrs. S. M. K. Barlow, one of the beat and no blest of human beings, suggested that we should help the south. We went to work again at the dramatic committee and invoked Mr. Wallaclt, Mr. Jeronio lent us the theater, and we really did some very good works, producing plays which were not stumbled through, bat bad some resemblance to the real thing. The money we made we sent to the cler gymen of the south, who wrote of indi vidual cases of distress. It was our pleasure to save the lives of sick chil dren who needed more delicate food than their poor mothers could otherwise have procured. We used to receive most touch ing letters. Thus was the first effort at reconstruction attempted and carried through successfully. We tried to fol low Grant at Appomattox and to be worthy of the last words of Lincoln, Mrs. M. E.

In the h sence of the governor he acted aa auch. and thus got the title which has atuck to him over since, though he failed of election in many milwequent campaigns. He waa born April lKj, in Adams. Jtfferson county, N'. Y., and was partially reared and edu cated in Michigan, but was graduated from Union college. New York. In 15 he mar ried Caroline Jay French, and the young couple man after located in Ne.irnwku City. In 1857 he pre-empted th farm now known as Arbor l.od'e, nut there their four sous ware mini. Mrs. Morten died in lie has served two terms in the legia- , ' Tim American Navy. There is little doubt that the American ehip is much better built than the foreign vessel. This may be rightly attributed to the fact that the United States government is very rigid in its requirements. All con tracts must; be lived up to, and that the builder may be encouraged in his work pre miums ait: paid where the official test de velops greater horsepower and more speed, or where the requirements of the contract have been more than met. The govern ment will not accept a vessel not up to the specifications. Builders know this and are accordingly prepared for it. A an illustration in point take the case of the Vesuvius, The contract called for 8,300 horsepower, and she would have to de velop a speed of 20 knots. In the official trial this vessel actually developed 4,440 horsepower and attained a speed of 31 04-100 knots from a measured 4-mile course, of course as a result earning for her builder a large premium. The case of the Blake, English built, whose contract called for !&r,0U horsepower, illy compares with this showing. The best effortw of her engineers and builders could only briug out a little over 16,000, and under this tremendous train her boilers went to pieces. The same statement is true, although in a worse de gree, of the failure of her sister ship, the Blenheim. Colonel A. G. feather in Blue and Gray. - An Old Custom. The custom of fastening rags, shreds and such worthless votive offerings to bushes which grow near holy wells and springs which were noted for health giving proper ties, though now obsolete, once flourished in huglandandScotland. Near to Newcastle, in the suburb of Benwell, a well which was once famous for such gift still exists. The practice is not unknown to Ireland. In oVM it survives in all countries where Ro man Catholicism flourishes, which is not surprising when it is borne iu mind that the Ho mis h church had a special prayer for blessing ciouto used for the cure of diseases. At Wierre Effroy in France, where the water of St. tiodeleine'a well is esteemed crhcacious for ague, rheumatism, goat and all affect ions of the limbs, a heterogeneous collection of crutches, bandages, rolls of rag and other rejected adjunct of medical treatment ts to be seen hanging upon the surrounding shrubs. These are intended aa thaak ollerings and testimonies of res toration. Other springs, famous foreuringophthal mia, abound in the same district, and here, too, bandages, shades, guards and rags m numerabie are exhibited.

A well known physician recently published an account of the experi ence of a patient at a so called health resort. Here is a part of the story ; "The patient in question was suf fering only from overwork; his fam ily history was clear, and there was no tuberculosis to be traced in his im mediate kin or among his ancestors He went to a health resort at a high altitude to recuperate. He boarded at a hotel in which numerous con sumptives were coughing and expec torating; four months afterward he developed tuberculosis and now has a typical case of pulmonary phthi sis. .

During the succeeding winter, which he ! spout at home, he received the news that the young Indy of his hmirt had turned fickle ami was allowiug another the honor nf her company to village merry makings. Iu his despair he and a friend named Colby, who whs afterward killed in tlie war of the rebiilllou, bored a three-quarter inch hole into a white birch tree then bunt live inches through, put the hair in and drove home after it a pine plug, The next summer he went back to Nova Scotiu and married the fair Deborah, in triumph over his rival, and brought her to the Sjtates, where he afterward died. He never thought it necessary to reclaim the hair, und there it remained year after year, the tree waxing large and strong and covering over with its white wood and paper burk the precious token hid in Its bosom, Last winter Mr. Edwin Smith, who now owns the old Marshall farm, cut the tree for Hrewnod.

An interesting London building has just been demolished by the ruthless hands of the speculative builder. Tbe old thatched cut'age fronting on the green at Shepherd's Bush has , been de stroyed. Tradition associated it quite erroneously with the name of the famous Jack Hheppard, hut there Is good ground for believing that it was the actual boose in which lived Miles Bynderoombe, the prime mover in a plot against the life of Oliver Cromwell. The details of the conspiracy are ob scure, aud it was asserted at the time that it was the work of agents provoca teurs, with the object of increasing tbe popularity of the protector; but in the fomoiui pumphlet, "Killing no Murder," Symlercombe ' gnilt is assumed, for he is lauded m a martyr in the cause of lib erty and compared to Brutus. Apart from its historical associations the cot tage should have been preserved as be ing probably the last remaining thatched building within tbe limits of the county of London. Ualignani Messenger. Discharged. A most remarkable incident has oc curred at the City hospital It is the custom there every afternoon at 8 o'clock for one of the clerks to visit the various wards and tell the patients who are able to go home that tbey are discharged Several days ago the clerk entered 11 ward, and walking to the aide of Henry Juelg'a cot said: "Yon can go out today. Your name is on the discharge list." Juelg, who was suffering from heart dis ease, leaned npon his elbow, and turn ing to Dr. Wolf, who was standing near by, asked in an anxious tone, "Doctor, am I discharged?" "Why, no," was the answer, "yon are not well enough." Be fore the physician could utter another word the patient dropped back dead. Cincinnati Enquirer. A Ball of wIm PIoIimI Up at Sm. Captain Chad wick of the schooner Henry Souther of Thomaston, Me., lying at Wood all's shipyard in Baltimore, possesses a ball of twine which has a history. One morning in September, on a voyage from Brunswick, 6a,, to an eastern port, Captain Chadwiok noticed a string flying out from the rnizien mast of bis vessel about the eroastrees. It extended as for aa tbe eye could follow it above the water. A man was sent aloft to pull in the string, and after it was all gathered aboard It made a large ball of manilla twine. At tbe time tbe string was discovered the nearest land was 85 miles distant. As such twine was not used on the Souther, Captain Chadwiok was puzzled to account for it presenoe. The only solution was that It bad been used to fly a kite or a captive bal loon, which bad escaped, and that it had been blown across the Chadwick'a most.
