During a fierce charge of Confeder ate cautlry at Murfreesboro an olllcei was killed and the cavalry driven back. The horse the ollicer had ridden was a mngniliccnt animal, and he hau uot been taught to retreat. Kiderless he kept on his way. and as he dashed through the Federal battery the sight of hiui was Indescribably grand. Ills nostrils were extended wide, his eyes fairly blazed, and lie clutched the lilt ilotermlnedlv with his teeth as he came on like the wind, with his sad die flaps Hying until he looked as If he were himself flying Instead of wildl running. Every one gave him room as he dashed onward. An ollicer shoute.. that he would give SlOO to any one who would capture that superb ani mal, but all seemed too much bound up in admiration or the noble beast to make the effort, and he sped on and disappeared in the blue distance. Profanity. The more Ignorant the man the moro he swears. When yon hear a mun swearing ft Is a sign that he Is an Ig norant man and has lived In uncul tured surroundings all his life. A well known writer on the development of language asserts that the use of ex pletives has been steadily diminishing as a result of the cultivation that ren ders coarseness generally distasteful. Apart from the moral aspects of the case. It is held that what may lie called tho explosives of talk not only repel the listener, but weakeu the argument. An excess of gestures or facial expres slon. of grimaces, shrugs and manuul flourishes, either shows the poverty ot the tongue or the lightness of the cause advocated. Atchison Globe. Patrician Names In Humble Life. India Is not the only country where historic names are borne by people In humble life. The same thing Is found lu the Italian Tyrol. The district for mcrly belonged to Venice, and many ot the peasants are probably descended from Venetian grandees who In the palmy days of the republic were lords of the soil. This would explain a cer tain eastern ilavor, for Venice was nothing If not Ityznntlne. A common surname In tho Tyrol Is Constantino. Climbing in the Dolomites, writes a correspondent, I was accompanied by one of the family. It gave an added dignity to tho ascents to feel that my guide was a possible descendant of tho emperors of the east, and he looked the part. Whittier's Humor. A story Is told of Whlttior which illustrates the diameter of his humor. Two ot! his neighbors, an aged broth er and sister, had accumulated a com petency. He thought they were work ing harder than wus necessary in view of their age and worldly accumulations and spoke of It. "Wo must lay by something for our last sickness and have enough left to bury us," said the sister. "Mury," replied Whlttler, "did thco ever know auy one lu his luBt sickness to stick by the way for want of fuuds?" Australian btishmen believe that tho sun Is uugry with the moon and hacks at It till It grows smaller and amaller and finally disappears, when It Is sup posed to beg for a respite and soon begins to grow again, but that directly It uttalns its full size the wrathful sun recommeuees Its attuck udoii it.
