Horace Greeley’» Birthplace.
Last summer I went to see the house in
which Horace Greeley was l>orn, at Am
herst, N. H. On the walls of the room
where that hero was born—no, I cannot
call him a hero exactly,because he carried
his old faded blue cotton umbrella always
to the dinner table when ho was asked out
to dine, and wore list slippera. A hero
always possesses adaptability. I must
call Horace Greeley an eminent philan
thropist and literary man. The walls of
the room were hung with the most amaz
ing works of art. Over the fireplace was
tiie picture of a little graveyard; an enor
mous weeping willow tree in one corner—
under its shade four standing figures. A
black dog with a piece of black crape tied
to his collar—a tall man in full suit of
black—his whiskers, eyes and hair of an
inky hue—a small woman, apparently his
wife, also in dark, somber garments o,
woe with an enormous coal scuttle bonnet
on her bead—a little girl in black panta
lettes; In her hand was a jet black doll.
To crown all a coal black crow was s.-eu
perched in the branches of th
* weeping
willow tree.
It was very funny, certainly. I remem
ber another fancy piece hung between the
windows of the room, representing Abra
ham Lincoln and George Washington.
Their faces were very pallid, both being
dead or supposed to l>e. George Washing
ton wore the uniform of a general, Mr.
Lincoln a full dress suit of broadcloth.
They wore depleted! sif embracing in mid
air, for their feet were resting on clouds,
and vapory matter surrounded both heroes.
I asked the woman the meaning of so
stran ;e a si.,ht. “It is the meeting of
Lincoln and Washington in the spirit
land,” replied she. I told her I thought
it the most astonishing picture I liad ever
seen. “Ahl most every visitor who comes
here is attracted by it,” answered she.—

Tlix
Umbrella in Poker Playing.
One of tho old timers was telling at
Macon the other day of the tricks of
gamblers of bis day. There was ono man,
since reformed, nnd who now stands well,
who camo down from Atlanta about once
a month nnd cleaned up the Macon boys
nt poker. This was many years ago, and
when Atlanta was but a village. As might
be. expected, the Macon boys used eve. J
effort to prevent him. One rainy night
tho Atlanta man camo down, and after
supper was seated at a table up stairs in
a building on Mulberry street. But the boys
had fixed for him. A small hole had been
bored in the ceiling just over the table,
and a wire run through tho ceiling and
down t'.ie side and floor of the room until
it reached the side of the table opposite the
dreaded poker player. Here the wire was
fastened to a pipce of wood against which
the sitter kept his foot. In this way it
was intended fliat the man abovo the ceil
tug could see the Atlanta man’s hand, and
communicate pointers by slight jerks of
the wire. That night tho Atlanta sport
tost heavily. At first lie thought his luck
was bad. but the cards were good, and he
mcntallj concluded that something beside
bad luck was causing his money to get on
the other side of the table by the hundreds.
The Macon boys who were in the secret
were in high glee at the victory. Finally
the Atlanta man caught on, and, reaching
down by his side, picked up his um
brella deliberately, and without a word,
hoisted and raised it above him. The um
brella shut oil the view of the man above
the ceiling, and in a short while the Atlanta
sport had won back his money and cleaned
up the Macon boys, as usual. It was years
before lie ever mentioned the matter, and
you may lxs sure the Macon boys kept it
quiet.—Mucon Telegraph.

Stories That White

*
Symptom
of Danger.
Travelers Have Set Going.
Travelers have told many strange
tales about new countries they have vis
ited. A »treat many wonderful yarns have
been sprung l>y sailors and traders, who
are often too ignorant to tell the truth
about what they see. even if they can
resist the temptation to tell a good story
at the expense of accuracy. Here is a
striking instance of the differences that
may occur in the accounts given by an
ignorant and an intelligent man of the
name thing:
(
Capt. Lancaster, many years ago, told
of a wonderful plant he found on the
sea sands of an island in the East Indies.
He said he found the shore covered
with small twigs growing up like young
trees. When he tried to pull them up
he was astonished to find that they
shrank down to the ground, and even
sank out of sight unless he held on very
hard. In the course of time Darwin ex
amined the wonderful products of na
ture which Capt. Lancaster had discov
ered. He found that the supposed plant
did not belong to the vegetable king
dom, but was a species of the animals
known as zoophytees or seapens. “At
low water,” he wrote, “hundreds of zoo
phytees might be seen ejecting like stub
ble. When touched or pulled they sud
denly drew themselves in with force, bo
as to nearly or quite disappear.
Besides the travelers who willfully or
ignorantly distort facts there are n.>t a
few who could journey around the world
without being able to tell much worth
hearing of their travels. A while ago a
man who had traveled a good deal in the
western Pacific was asked to describe tiie
Solomon islands. All he could say was
that the water there was very blue; that
the bathing was excellent, and that he
saw many lovely sites for villa resi
dences. It was learned that he had long
been a real estate agent in Melbourne.
Mr. Romilly says that a few year? ago
a traveler who was addressing an audi
ence in England, including many scienti
fic men, solemnly assured them that tho
natives of New Britain men led broken
legs by inserting a piece of tortoise shell
into the bone. The shell was neatly fit
ted into a groove that was cut in the
Hone, and the ends of the broken bone
in this manner were kept together. His
hearers never thought of questioning his
veracity when he surprised them further
hv asserting that the science of dentistry
was far advanced in New Britain. He
said the natives made beautiful
teeth of mother of pearl, which they
attached to the jaw by fine threads of
sinnet. Liter visitors to New Britain
have failed to find any evidence of tueue
act omplishments.
One of the funniest stories that ever
gained wide circulation was that about
the bone eating trees of the Louisade arch
ipelago. The story ran that during the
night the branches of these trees bent to
the ground, and that the leaves, like
those of the fly-catching plants, closed
about all bits of bone or flesh that they
happened to touch. Before morning all
traces of the bones and meat had disap-
jieared. the trees having completely n.s-
similated them. The natives worshiped
them as deities, and placed offerings of
bones and flesh near them to appease
their appetites. This story was doubt-
less derived from the fact that many of
the Pacific islanders place thousands of
bones in the crotches of trees, and in the
progress of growth many of these be-
X>me imbedded in the wood, like the
horseshoe which has long been on ex-
hihition in a Nassua street window.
The imaginative element is largely
developed in most savages, and they are
always happy to entertain their white
isitors with wonderful stories, some of
which are afterward repeated in civil
ized lands as solemn facts. There are
many sailors who lielieve to this day
that there is a trilie in central New Gui
nea which is adorned with tails. Some
of the natives of the southeast coast are
willing to swear by all their gods that
they have seen men from the interior
of whose anatomy tails are a natural
and highly ornamental feature. The
sailors think they ought to know. Jack
Tar has also circulated that other inter
esting yarn frow New Guinea to the ef
fect that some of the natives bore holes
through their left hands to flro arrows
through them.—Atlanta Constitution.

BEAUTIFUL
FORMS OF NERVOUS EXHAUSTION.
The very worst formi of nervous exhaus
tion are brought on slowly. The brain
becomes unconscious, deadened, to the
sense of tiredness that is first experienced
from over exertion, and does not notice
that its powers are gradually b ing used
up. Work that is done without emotional
excitement is much le«s liable to bring
about this condition than that which is
accomplished by an exaltation of the feel-
ings. Hence the stock-gambler, the
dealer in futures, etc., are the ones
who furnish some of the worst cases
of this sort. Speculation, no matter with
what it deals, may not call for much
mental or physical work, but the emo
ttonal excitement is tremendous, and it is
this that causes nervous exhaustion. Al
ternations of strong emotions are especi
ally injurious.
Calm intellectual work does little harm,
even if prolonged, provided sufficient food
is taken into the blood and enough sleep is
had. But all intellectual workers do more
or less of their labor under some excite
*
ment. This latter is what does most of the
damage. Some can work only by tits and
starts, and still manage to accomplish a
great deal within a given time. Others are,
by nature,plodding workers, who are capa
ble of a continuous output of intellectual
energy. Whether “steady goers” or par
oxysmal workers, the notes of warning
that too much is being done are about the
same. A few of the more important of
these indications will be given; a full dis-
cussion of ill of them would require more
space than can be devoted to them at this
time.
One of the first to be roticed is exces
sive irritability or nervousne.-x The least
discord or unnecessary effort is painful to
the over-wrought nerves. This indicates
no very dangerous state of affairs, for the
more profound disturbances benumb the
brain, and such trivial matters pa>s with-
out notice. Headaoae is another symp
tom of the same sort. Both of these drive
the patient to seek the rest he needs and
thus act as preventives of the more serl-
ous mischief. Unpleasant sensations in
the head, not headache, are of far more
serious moment. These are a feeling of
weight on the top ol the head; sensation as
of a band compressing the forehead; or an
indescribable sense of distress that is al
most unendurable, although not de
scribed as an “ache.” These, following long
continue 1 effort of the mind, with or with
out excitement, should always receive at-
tention. They showed that the danger-line
had been reached. Obstinate wakefulness
is something that urgently demands medi
cal advice. It is the most common pre-
cursor of insanity.
Slight loss of control over some group or
groups of muscles; numbness in one or
more of the limbs; momentary loss of con
sciousness; failure of the memory; inability
to fix the attention, and sudden monien-
tary loss of power in an arm or lower limb,
each of them, denotes that the time for
temporizing is over. They are forwarn-
ings of serious disease and must not be
neglected. —Cor. Gio be- De m oc rat.
Stonewall Jackson an<l Barbara Frletchle.
Col. Henry Ky<l Douglas, in an article
on Jackson in Maryland in The Century,
b”.s this to say of the alleged incident
which gave rise to Whittier s poem: “The
troops being on the march, the general
and stall rode rapidly out of town and
took the head of tiie column. Just a few
words here in regard to ‘Barbara Friet-
chie,’ a touching poem which sprang full
armed from the loyal brain of Mr. Whit
tier. An old woman, by that now
immortal name, did live in Frederick in
tiftwe days, but she was 84 years old
and bed-ridden; she never saw Gen.
Jackson, and Gen. Jackson never saw her.
I was with him every minute of the time
he was in that city—he was there only
twice—and nothing like the scene so
graphically described by the poet ever
happened. The story will perhaps live, as
Mr. Whittier ha< boasted, until it gets
beyond the reach of correction.
“On the march that day the captain of
the cavalry advance, just ahead, had in
structions to let no civilian go to the
front, and we entered each village we
passed before the inhabitants knew of our
.coming. In M.ddleLown two very pretty
girls, with ribbons of red, white and blue
floating from their hair and small Union
flags in their hands, rushed out of their
house as we passed, came to the curb
stone, and with much laughter waved
their colors defiantly in the face of the
general. He bowed and raised his hat, and
turning with his quiet smile to his stafT,
sa‘.d: ‘We evidently have no friend» in
this town.’ And this is about the way he
would have treated Barbara Fnetchie.”—
Chicago Herald.
CORFU.
harming Island Known as the Garden
of the Mediterranean.
And thus, between these islands and
“Albania,” the good ship proeeeds to
Corfu, that garden of the Mediter
ranean, and anchors in its beautiful
land-locked bar, exactly twelve hours
after leaving Brindisi. One gasps in
the effort to describe these lovely spots
of earth. Dante is far more impres
sive when his genius puts forth its
strength in the “Inferno” than when
he writes his “Paradiso;” and similarly
one does not feel the limitations of one’s
powers in the attempted depiction
of the commonplace. But it is with
Corfu as with sweet Helen of Troy,
who paralyzed the pen, and was best
to be seen portrayed in the wonder and
admiration of those who were privi
leged to come face to face with her.
One leans over the side of the ship, and,
as it were, absorbs in silence into ore’s
system the soft contour of its many-
sided hills; the stately grace of its cy
presses growing in the town and crest
ing the dark rock which, oven as a
fortress, impresses with its solemnity
rather than its strength; the mellow
color of its old Venetian houses, green
and white, soaring high against the
blue heavens; the clanior of its boat
men, discordant enough when one has
a personal interest in the hubbub, but
otherwise merely strange sounds in a
strange place; the orange sails of its
fishing-boats at anchor in the bay, their
big prows carved witli uncouth saints
and figures; the ruined islands hard by,
and the distant rocks of the Lazzaretto
against a background of deep foliage
where gardens and orange-groves run
to the water’s edge; the Venetian cam
paniles of its churches; the villas and
villages nestling in the nooks of the
hills and the mountains, two thousand
feet and more above the sea level; nnd
the majestic gray hills with their snow
capped attendants on the Albanian
shore, which, nt a distance of five or six
miles, form a firm bar on the eastern
side of the harboiL There can be no
more beautiful port in the world than
this of Corfu. To appreciate the dis
interestedness of the British Govern
ment, one ought to see Corfu. No in
dividual would have given away such a
property so freely, even though it
seemed ever so reasonably demanded
of him.— All the Year Hound.
