[Copyright. 1894, by J. B. Uppincott Company.)
at Clayton’s plantation to whom one
of the boys was devoted, and Paimcle.Y,
spies reported there was to be a dar.ee
there. That’s how he came to go o.\:
to Bliccatubbee with the squad, bui
they only got Harry Potts and two of
the Scroggs boys; Barton Potts wasn't
there. They were riding home to
Quitman county after the dnnce and
“making some racket, as young fellers
will, and Parmelee laid for ’em on tin
road.” They wj?re brought into the
jail by Sergt. Quir.n and the squad and
there left to Parmelee and his people
As for the rest, the lieutenant knew as
much as the sergeant, except that “old
man Potts” with his boy Hal suddenly
rode into camp just after Mr. Lambert
hnd walked away, and the old man had
given Capt. Close a piece of his mind,
after which he and Ilal with a couple
of friends rode bock townwards. All
the shooting that took place was prob
ably a feu do joie to the aocompani
ment of triumphant yells.
It was a fact that when old Potts
with his friends, not more than half a
dozen all told, came riding in to offer
bail for the boys, armed only with the
customary revolver, they were followed
towards the jail by a party of inquisitive
and interested townspeople, at sight of
which array Parmelee’s posse on duly
at the jail had fired one volley from that
building and then rushed for the shel
ter of the cellar under the meeting
house. They had killed Potts’ mule
and wounded another, in exchange for
which the Pottsites had ridden off
with the first two animals and all the
prisoners thoy saw. There was no one
to claim the latter, and old Potts had
coolly offered the former to the inspec
tion of Capt. Close; one proved to be
government property, the other Parme
lee’s. “I’ll just bavvrow these two to
take us back home, an’ then you gentle
men can have ’em as soon as you’ll send
for ’em; but you’ll hardly expect us to
call again, after the reception accawdcd
us law-abiding and peaceable citizens
to-day.” This was the majestic con
clusion of Potts’ remarks to the sur
prised but stolid captain. Then they
rode away, and, crossing probably at
the ford, made a circuit back through
town, where they doubtless had a Tug
aloo jubilee with their friends and fel
low-citizens, to the continued alarm and
dismay of the bell-ringers in tlie meet
ing house, until warned that the troops
were coming, when they deliberately
withdrew across the railway track,
firing off a parting salute and a volley
of the characteristic southern vocal
isms known to fame os the “rebel yell.”
This was injudicious. It was well
enough to ride away in company with
prisoners whom nobody claimed or ap
peared to care to hold, but they should
not have rejoiced thereat with riot and
ungodly glee. It was human and by no
means divine. It gave the opposition
too much to tell about in the startling
reports that went broadcast over the
north that very night and appeared
with lurid headlines in the morning
papers on the morrow.
Parmelee had not been seen from the
moment of the initial appearance of
Potts and party until he came scramb
ling' into camp on a borrowed mule.
Later that afternoon, when matters had
measurably quieted down, he made his
way westward in time to tell at the
state capital his story of the riot to his
properly indignant chief, while, all
alone, Capt. Close was jogging over to
Potts’ on the “day accommodation,” lit
tle dreaming of the ill-repute in winch
he and his youthful subaltern would
stand before the unthinking of their
northern fellow-citizens on the mor
row; for, as was only natural, the dep
uty marshal had squared accounts with
Close by laying the blame for the escape
of the prisoners, the peril of the be
leaguered posse, and the riot end insur
rection in Chittomingo county upon the
captain and his lieutenant, who, Ke said,
though wearing the uniform and hold
ing the commission of theUnited States,
had refused to come to the aid of the
OHipers of t he law.
"I ought to bo back by nine o’clock,”
was the message the captain told Cor
poral Cunningham to takeout'to camp;
but Cunningham was the ingenious
youth who first accosted Mr. Lambert
on his arrival that morning, and Burns
hod nearly shaken the life out of him
when lie heart! the story the men were
passing from lip to lip. Cunningham
was a young fellow with a better opin
ion of himself then his employers
seemed to entertain, and, though fair
ly educated in the public schools and in
n business college of hjs native city, a
fondness for Bowery life and associa
tion with Bowery boys had undermined
his usefulness. He enlisted after los
ing his situation, and, coming loClose's
company when clerks were hardly tc
be had at any price, was put into the
company office instead of the awkward
squad. Then came a vacancy among
the corporals; the young fellow, being
a new broom, had swept clean, and was
so helpful about the hooks, papers and
the like for six weeks that Close gave
him the empty chevrons, and gave
Burns abundant cause for another out
break of blasphemy. T1\pto might have
been seine way of licking Private Cun
ningham into shape, but the,re was r.ar.e
whatever of reforming- Corporal Cim
ninghpm. He was not oil bail, however,
for by evening he began to realize thi?,
extraordinary solecism of which he l.a<l
been guilty in the morning; to he was
actually ash a mod to go near the lieu
tenant, and neveir even repeated his mes
sage to Hums until nine oVlock liad
come and the captain hadn’t. Then
Burns went over to the lieutenant’s
tent, where the youth rat wrapped in
his overcoat, trying gloomily and with
stiffened fingers to write some letters
by the ltglit of n single candle.
“I suppose, sir, the captain meant to
ride, the mule back himself. He could
have got to Potts* place before- six and
back here by eight, easy. ’Tisn’t likely
they’d ask him to stay to supper. I’m
only afraid o-f his gettin’ into a row,
and him all alone.”
“I wish he could have been content to

ADAPTABILITY OF ANIMALS.
Dow They Vary Their Food to 8ul«
Changed Condition*.
An Impression prevails that insects
and other creatures are so co-related
with their food that they can scarcely
exist unless the special food seeming
ly essential to them is ready to hand,
says Meehan’s Monthly. This is be
lieved true not only of food, but of their
habits in general. The yucca and the
yucca moth are so closely connected
that it does seem as if each is absolute
ly dependent on the other—and one
might well ask what wou'd the chimney
swallow do without chimneys in which
to build its nests—or cherry or peach
tree gum with which to build them.
But just as the vegetarian would have
to abandon his principles where there
was nothing in the icy region but musk
oxen and walrus to feed on—so animal
nature generally has the Instinct of
preservation to take to that which first
comes to hand when favorite resources
fail. The chimney swallow built its
nest somewhere before the white man
constructed chimneys. The potato
beetle had its home on the plains long
before it ever knew a potato and the
writer has seen the common elm-leaf
beetle feeding varociously in the moun
tains of North Carolina on a species of
skull-cap—Scutellaria—touching appa
rently no other plant, in localities where
elms were absent.
In Germantown gardens half-starved
bees take to grapes and raspberries.
In the same locality the common robin
has had hard times. There had been
no rain from the 4th of July to Oct. 11,
and, everything having become parched
long since, insects that live on green
food had not increased. The robins
took to green seeds and fruits. The
apples on the orchard trees were dug
out as if by mice. An American golden
pippin, with a heavy crop, presented a
remarkable appearance with what
Should be apples hanging on the trees
like empty walnut shells. In brief, no
creature would ignore the promptings
of nature. It will change its habits
when necessity demands.
Cognac.
Cognac, the distilled liquor, takes tho
name from the small city of Cognac,
In France. The spirit has made Cognac
very rich; the population of no other
city on earth can show as large a pro
portion of millionaires. The rich liquor
is distilled from wine only, and expe
rience teaches that excellence of quality
Is obtained only when the crude, old
fashiohed distilling apparatus is used.
An AuachronUm.
In Raphael’s picture of the nativity
the curious anachronism is presented
of an Italian shepherd playing on ths
bagpipes to entertain the holy family."
Diamonds have been discovered at
Nullagine. in Northwest Australia.
Tom Wolfe was sentenced to a term
of two years three months in the peni
tentiary by a Connersville, Ind., court
the other day for burglary. The con
viction of Wolfe depended largely on
whether a man of his build could have
crawled through a seven-inch transom.
Prosecutor Smith procured a window
sash the size of the one in question and
demonstrated his theory before the jury
by getting down on the floor and wrig
gling through the hole. He convinced
the jury and clinched his case.

| A GERMAN “KINO OP TRAMPS.**
I Once * Valiant Soldier, He Became a
Hopelen Wreck,
! A few days ago there was buried in
Brooklyn, N. Y., the body of William
Heiser, alias “Jumbo,” 45 yearB of age,
lie was known as "The King of
Tramps,” and for the past twenty years
; was one of the most interesting char*
acters of the city. He was the son of
the mayor of a town in Germany, and
through a money broker was in receipt
of an allowance of $100 every three
months. Even under the dirt of a tramp
he showed his breeding. Tall and com
manding in appearance, he was in the
habit of reminding all with whom hs,
came in contact that although a tramp
he was once a gentleman. Of the thou
sands who knew him no one could con
tradict him. Twenty years ago he mad*
his appearance in Brooklyn. It was at
the time when lodging houses were at
nched to the station houses. He waa
wer about the Bedford avenue station,
Meaning and tending the furnaces. All
attempts to make him talk of his pre
vious life were a failure. His only an
swer was: “I am a gentleman If I am a
tramp.” It was his pleasure on receiv
ing a remittance to take his friends out
and get them drunk and then pay their
fines. Through the money broker it was
learned that “Jumbo” gained a gold
medal during the Fran co-Prussian war,
but that having Incurred the enmity ol
the German government he came to
this country. Eighteen months ago, oa
expressing a wish to reform, his reliV'
tives sent him $1,000, with which he
started in the furniture business, but
failed. An officer found him sitting on
the steps of the hospital at Bedford ave
nue and South Third street. He awoke
him. “Keep moving,” said the officer.
Jumbo’s reply, “They don’t know me
any more,” was scarcely audible, but he
kept moving as best he could. A few
hours later another officer found him
sitting in the gutter. He made an at
tempt to get up, but fell back uncon
scious. He was taken to the station
house, where he died. Fortunately the
regular $100 remittance was received
the day after, and he was not buried
in the potter’s field.
THE MYSTIC THREE.
Something About the Time-Honored
Snperotltlon for the Number.
I was reading an article the other
day on the superstitious regard for the
number three, and it set me think
ing. There must be something in it. The
third repetition of anything is gener
ally looked upon as a crisis. An arti
cle may be twice lost and recovered, but
when lost the third time is lost for
good. Twice a man may pass through
some great danger in safety, but the
third time he loses his life.
If, however, the mystic third can be
successfully passed all is well. Three
was called by Pythagoras the perfect
number, and we frequently find its use
symbolical of deity. For instance there
are the Trinity of the Christian relig
ion, the trident of Neptune and the
three-forked lightning of Pluto. In my
thology there are the three Fates, the
three Furies and the three Graces.
Shakespeare introduced three witches.
I can remember the old nursery rhyme
about the three wise men of Gotham,
and the song of the three blind mice
whose tails were cut off by the farm
er’s wife.
f have heard of three volume novels,
and know that most doctors order their
medicine to be taken threi times a day.
We eat three times a day. The Bible
Bpeaks of a man being thrt'ce blessed.
The old saw—"If at first you don't suc
ceed, try, try again”—gives three trials.
Cleveland tried three times for the
presidency and succeeded twice. Surely
he is not going to brave fate and try
again?
Hard on the Reacuen.
“Charlie Brown—later on the faiped
Aretemus Ward of literature—and I
were walking toward the office along,
toward 1 o’clock in the morning, when
we were reporters together on the
Cleveland Leader,” said Gen. Warren P.
Edgarton, "when we heard piercing
cries from the second story of the house.
*' ’Ah, ha! Beauty in distress!’ ejacu
lated Brown. ‘Let’s go over.’
“Over we went, and into the room
where tho trouble was. We saw a
burly fellow fearfully belaboring his
little mite of a wife, and I rushed in
to do the saving act. Well, that fellow
was a whopper. The table was set for
a meal, he evidently being some sort oY
a night-worker, and the first thing he
did was to swing me across the top of
It, making a clean sweep of the dishes
and -the hash. Then I was fired under
the table and had it overturned on me.
Just then as I got a chance to breathe,
I looked around to see what Brown was
doing for the relief of the country.
" ‘Time!’ he shouted; and as I turned
my banged-up head I saw him perched
on a chair on the corner, with his watch
in his hand, enjoying the situation
hugely.
“The ruffian let me up and we two
proceeded on our way. The next day
after I had the pleasure of reading a
vivid account of the fight described by
•rounds’ 11s Brown saw the scrap."—
Philadelphia Call.
Tllden Encouraged Young Politician*.*
Governor Tllden believed in encour
aging the aspirations of young men
with a taste for political life, and in
according to them all the opportunities
for honorable party service and dis
tinction that could be put in their way.
Every man was to be used, and to be
given employment, as far as possible,
that would be congenial to him. The
party that adopts and follows a theory
of politics like ijiia will make bosses
impossible, and adherence to such a
reasonable theory will add to rather
than diminish the number of members
of its conventions conspicuous for char -
acter and worthy of confidence.,

SURVIVAL OP NEW NOVELS.
Percentage of Books That Okie Reduc
ing fame la Extremely Smalt
It is said that the American publish
ers have in press over two hundred
new novels which are likely to be is
sued between now and the holidays.
The statement Is easily credible. In
1890 they issued 1,11* novels; 1a 1891,
1.105; in 1892, 1,102, and In 1893, 1,132.
This average of three novels put on the
market for every day In the year in
cludes imported books Issued by Eng
lish houses and published in New York
by their resident agents, but it does
not include the publications of the
'‘minor cheap libraries." The English
publishers issue snout the same num
ber of novels yearly as the American.
In 1893, an average year, 'they issued
935 new novels and 393 reprints.
The interesting question of what be
comes of all thlB mass of "literature”
is answered only in part by the flve
cent counters. Many of these books
must fall to obtain the honorable if
humiliating usefulness the tve-cent
Counters offers to those for whom the
■Sellar shelves are no longer tenable.
They do not circulate at all. A few
copies are sent to the newspapers. The
author distributes complimentary cop
ies among his acquaintances, and he
is fortunate if he finds even among his
intimate friends those who can recall
the title of his work within six months
after its publication. That "among
nine bad if one be good there’s still
one good in ten” is a comforting
thought, but it hardly applies to con
temporaneous fiction, for hardly one in
a thousand and certainly not one in a
hundred of the novels published stands
the only sure test of merit as a novel—
that of survival. Only in rare In
stances do they outlive their first year.
The man whose book actually lives ten
years may set himself down as a genius
whether the critics think so or not.
Only once .or twice in a generation do
writers appear whose stories have
enough of universal human nature in
them to survive their generation. And
this is all as it should be. It is well
enough for the most worthless of all
worthless books to be written if it real
ly represents an aspiration to produce
something worth the attention of the
world, but it is better still that swift
and merciful oblivion should cover fail
ure; In novels as in everything else the
fittest should be the survivors. And
in the long run they always are.
JOSEPHINE WAS MERCIFUL.
Blip Tried to Prevent the Kxeeatlon of
th« Duo d’Enghlen.
Mme. Bonaparte learned with intense
sorrow of the determination taken by
her husband. In the main his measures
and his convictions had been kept a
secret, but she confided both to Mm«
do Remusat, and the first consul him
self had told them to Joseph. On the
20th the decree for the duke’s impris
onment and trial was dictated by the
first consul from the Tulleries, and is
the early afternoon he returned to Mal<
maison, where at three o’clock Joseph
found hkn strolling in the park, con
versing with Talleyrand, who limped
along at bis side. “I’m -afraid of thy
cripple,” waS Josephine’s greeting to
her brother-in-law. "Interrupt this
long talk if you can.”
The mediation of tho elder brother
was kindly and skillful, and for a time
the first consul seemed softened by the
memories of his own and his brother’s
boyhood, among which came and went
the figure of the Prince of Conde. But
other feelings prevailed; the brothers
bad differed about Lucien’s marriage
and the question of descent if the con
sular power should become hereditary;
the old coolness finally settled down
and chilled the last hopes in the tender
hearted advocates for clemency. To
Josephine’s tearful entreaties for
mercy, her husband replied: “Go away;
you're a child; you don’t understand
public duties.” By five it was known
that the duke had arrived at Vin
cennes, and at once Savary was de
spatched to the city for orders from
Murat, the military commandant. On
his arrival at Murat’s ofllce, from
which Talleyrand was In the very act
Of departing, he> was Informed that the
court martial was already convened,
and that it would be his duty to guard
the prisoner and execute whatever sen
tence was passed.—“Lirt> of Napoleon,”
by Prof. Wm. M. Sloafie, in the Cen
tury.
