After the war I started for Michigan, but while in rhino rn T Innrneil that 111V mother WOS dead, aai under the impulse of the mo ment I re-enlisted in the navy, where I have been ever since. "I have been around the world three times. A short time ago when I was in San Francisco my time expired. "While there, undecided what to do or where to go, I heard that mother was still alive and well, and that she was living in Washington. I learned, too, that she thought I had been dead for year3 . I have saved a good portion of my earn ings and nearly all the prize money I re ceived during the war, and now have a snug little estate which will keep my mother and myself comfortable for the rest of our lives. I left San Francisco as goon as I heard that she was still living. Tonight I expect to sec her for the first time since 1862." A YOung Girl's Terrible Death. Parsons, Kan., July 8. Polly Taylor, th'j 12-year-old daughter of Hon. C. II. Tavlor. the Cherokee Indian lawyer, For GlaM of Beer Drummer C.et Two Uandred Thousand Dollars. This may seem a large sum for a small article, but it wan virtually jwiJ by a man of great resources who hud an ingenious ex pedient for saving the horse flesh ot the world. About ten years ago a veterinary surgeon who was with the army in Hombay found that the excessive heat of that country raused the tops of the horses' necks to sweat freely and thereby produce sorc3 under the leather collars. All the exjiedieiits that he could suggest were of no avail to remedy this state of things. One-fourth of the horses used for draught iuri)oses were laid up by what is called "sore neck." This "vet" in his younger days had studied chemistry, and ho found that sulphate of zinc was the Inst and almost the only cure for horses' "soro neck," but the difiioulty in applying this preiiration lay in the fact that tho horso had to rest during tho times of the application, otherwise the collar would rub it off and there- was no chance of the horse's recovery. A thought struck him that to mako a ziuo pad und put it under tho collar would at any rate prove an ameli orative, and may lie a cine. The man, though ingeniouj in his way, was much given to drink, and was looked upon by the oilicers of the army as a "ne'er do weel" with bright ideas. "While this idea was simmer ing in his mind and lieforo ho had put it into an actual test ho hnii)iied to bo in a drinking bar. His linauces were at this time at the lowest ebb, for his future pay was mort gaged for all it was worth and the publican refused to trust him with any more drinks. An American drummer hap pened to bo representiug a largo leather house and knew a good deal of the difficulty with which ttte American farmers of tho southwest had to contend. The two men got into conversation, and as a natural result the veterinary spoke of the idea that was up permost in his mind and said that ho thought that he knew of a remedy or tuat most troublesome of complaints of which all horses in hot countries suffered. Tho American was lerfectly convinced that ho was talking to a man of good ideas, though bad principles, and asked what ho would take for tho idea. "I am awfully hard up and can get no more drink on trust, so I will give you the idea for a glass of beer." "Done!"' said the other. The American at once saw that thero was probably millions in t,his and ho conceived tho notion that the matter oozing from the sores on horses' necks would corrode tho pad and produce sulphate of zino thus tho dis ease would provide its own remedy. He also saw that zino, leiug a iion-oisductor of heat, would keep the part cool. The more he thought of it the more ho liked it, and al though his business should have kept him in Bombay some months longer, bo in a few daj s took the first steamship for Liverpool and then for Boston.

Hamlin Garland in American Mag. agino. Portrait Made from Descriptions. A Baltimore pnblishing firm a while ago wanted a picture of Tippu Tib, tho celebrated trader of Central Africa. It happened that at that time no picture of the king of tho slave dealers had come from Africa, and so a gentleman of this city undertook to collate for tho use of tho publishers all attainable in formation about tho personal appearance of that worthy. Ho found in the writings of Cameron, Stanley, Van Gele, Gleerup nnd Dr. Lenz some minute descriptions of Tippu Tib, and with the aid of this material tho publishers made a picture of tho big Central African. Since then two woodcuts made front photographs of the trader havo como to hand, and it is goon that the Baltimore picture deserves to rank almost with tho en gravings as a very good likeness of Tippu Tib. Probably not once in a hundred times could a portrait lo made merely from descrip tions that would, on the whole, so nearly re semble the subject as in this case. Suc cess in this Instance was duo largely to the fact that most of the writers, regarding Tippu Tib ns tho most striking personality they had met in Central Africa, gave very minute nnd detailed descriptions of him.

No sooner had the Clock agreed than the musket said: V.And please don't strike so loudly, as the mistress is very nervous." Then one of tho pictures observed: 'Make yourself solid with .he children by losing half an hour every night, so they can sleep later in tho morning."
