Shortly after the Crimean war an in dividual, whose right arm was incased in splints and hung in sling, entered a magnificent jewelry shop, the proprie tor of which was a" Mr. James Green. The stranger had that in his apppear ance which is generallv stvled dis tingue; his carriage and garb revealed the military veteran, and his manners the finished gentleman. At the door halted an elegant cabriolet, and the good taste of its owner was made ap parent by the plain but neat liven- of the groom and the choice trappings of the handsome blooded horse. The stranger stated that he was de sirous of procuring a complete silver table-service, rich, solid and elegant, with but little ornamentation. Could Mr. Green prepare such an one for him? The goldsmith answered, of course, in the affirmative, and showed several patterns to his visitor, who then described very minutely the style in which he wished the articles to'be made, and asked by Avhat time they could be goc'flwady. At the same time he insisted ojS punctuality, saying he must use the set it a reception he would 3v"aa ive ft his new residence in Leicester square. Green promised to have it doue in three weeks, and then the two parties discussed the terms. The jeweler very carefully made all his calculations and demanded 1.200. The stranger reflected a few moments, then said he had determined upon get ting a service at a cost of 1,300, and requested Mr. Green to add as many more pieces to the set as would fix the price at that sum. Air. Green thanked the gentleman for this mark of confi dence, and inquired of him to whose recommendation he owed his patron age. "Xo one has recommended you to me." replied the stranger. The jeweler looked up in surprise. The stranger, who had hitherto worn an air of dignity almost amounting to austerity now became more friendly and continued: "I am a soldier. I have served for years in India, and more recently in the Crimea. At Balaklava I received a se vere wound in my right arm and hand, which will perhaps disable the member for life. My patronage you owe to your parents, grandparents, and in fact to the whole line of your ancestors." The jeweler was amazed and bewil dered. His parents and other ancestors had long been dead, and could not have referred the soldier to him. The latter apparently enjoyed Mr. Green's per plexity, and smilingly continued: "I will make myself clear. "When, in con sequence of this unfortunate wound" here a sudden twinge in his arm made him start painfully "I w:is compelled to leave the service, I resolved to settle down in London. "Y1iile riding out the other day my attention was attracted by the appearance of your splendidly furnished shop, but more so by the name on your sign, for mine is precise ly the same. To this simple circum stance you owe the present visit of CoL James Green, of the Grenadier Guards The jeweler expressed his delight at the honor of being the namesake of so distinguished a warrior, and after afew more phrases of this sort the conversa tion reverted to thebusiness in hand. "May I now inform you," said the jeweler, with some hesitation, "of the conditions which must generallv be complied with previous to sale?" making "Xo," said the "Colonel, sharply, "I have my own way of doing business. Tou and I do not know each other; and, although my order is not an un commonly large one, still it amounts to a sum with which you can not cred it a stranger. I will therefore pay vou 100 cash down for a surety, the" re maining 1,400 when I call for the service." Mr. Green accepted the proffer with profuse thanks. "You need not thank me," the officer interrupted. "As I remarked. I alwavs have a way of my own, from which" I never like to deviate. 2sow do me the favor and take my portemonnaie from my coat-pocket ; my unfortunate Balak lava wound " the Colonel again winced with pain "has lamed my right arm and hand completely." Mr. Green expressed his sympathy in the wannest terms, carefully pulled the jwrtemonnaie from the veteran's coat-pocket, opened it at the hitter's de sire, and from four or five new 100 notes took one, which the Colonel re quested him to keep. Mr. Green wrote off a receipt and placed it in the pocket-et-book, which he very carefully re stored to its resting-place. He then as sisted the Colonel to enter the carriage, and the groom CoL Green could not drive on account of his injured arm rapidly drove off in the direction of Leicester square. The jeweler, though much overjoyed, was a cautious busi ness man, and, notwithstanding the considerable deposit, proceeded to make his safety certain. Inthe"""rarList" he readily found tne name and rank of his nnmfl rmri rant- nf his inefnmoT- just as had "been given: and from i - WUbVUil.L. I the estate agent who rented out the splendid mansion in Leicester square I he had ascertained that it had recentlv been occupied by CoL James Green, of the Guards, and that the latter had brought the most excellent recommen dations from his banker and sundry other distinguished personages. In the course of three weeks, at the end of which the set was to be done, the Colonel often came into the shop to see how the work was going on, and al ways discoursed so aSablv with the goldsmith that the latter could not find sufficient words of praise of his genial customer when speaking to others about him. At last the service was completed. It was placed upon a large table in the counting room, and cover ed with a cloth of blue velvet Punct ually at the stipulated time in the afternoon, CoL Green entered the shop, his elegant eabriolet with the blooded horses remaining before the door care of the groom. in The officer stepped into the counting-room, and Afr. Green, swellingwith pride, removed the velvet cloth from the service. The Colonel, though usu ally a quiet man, declared that it sur passed his most sanguine expectations, and greatly insisted upon paving the entire 1,300, and also uion the jewel er retaining the deposited 100 as a doucer for the satisfaction he had "You owe me no thanks, my dear Mr. Green," warmly said the Colonel to the delighted goldsmith. "Give me your hand, and ag:un receive my heart felt argument for this superb master piece." The jewelers beaming countenance on grasping his namesake's hand "can be better imagined than described." "Xow to business," said the Colonel. "Be so kind as to take out my pocket- book and. count off your 1,500, forldo not wish to tarry a moment before showingfyour vhefcTceiivre to my wife." The jeweler hastened to comply. He took from the officer's breast coat Iocket tv-eard-case, a set of ivory tab lets, and- a silk purse through "whose meshes glittered some five or six sov ereigns but no pocket-book. Upon the Colonel's request he then examined all of Ids pockets. The search was fu tile. "Strange! incomprehensible I Could I have lost it or been robbed?" mutter ed the Colonel audibly, perplexed and provoked. "What o'clock is it?" he suddenly asked. "Twenty minutes to five." "Good; it is time enough: You must make yourself serviceable to me once more, my dear Mr. Greene, and act as my secretary. You know I can not use my right liand. "Will you have the goodness to write a few lines for me to my wife?" "With these words the Colonel step ped to the jeweler's desk, on which lay some writing paper printed with the name of the firm. Taking a sheet, he placed it "before the jeweler, saying: "Thrs-ni do; my wife knows that I am here." He then dictated, and the jeweler wrote: My Dear "Wife: Have the good ness to send me at once 1,300 through the bearer. Yon know where the money is kept. I am in immediate need of it; therefore do not detain the messenger, who is a trustworthy per son. Your affectionate husband, James Green. "Thank you," said the Colonel, after perusing the epistle. "Michael," he cried, stepping to the door and calling the groom, "tike this letter, ride home as fast its you can, and return at once to this place with that which my wife will give you." The groom took the letter, bowed, and quickly drove off. Fifteen minutes, half an hour, nearly an hour passed away, and Michael did not return. The Colouel waxed impa tient, and wished that he-shad gone in person for the money. The jeweler es sayed to tranquilize him, but ineffect ually. "I have always regarded the fellow as honest and trustworthy," said the Colonel, "and have on several occasions intrusted him with large sums of mon ey, though, it is true never with as much as thi3 time. Fifteen hundred pounds may have proved too strong a temptation for him." Pulling out his magnificent gold watch, he continued: "I wait just seven and a half minutes longer, for that is exactly the time it tikes him to drive hither from Leices ter square." The seven and a half minutes were gone, and the groom had not come. The Colonel could contiin himself no longer. "i)o me the favor, Mr. Green, to call a cab, he said, in the greatest impa tience. "I sliall go home myself, and will return within half an hour." The cab was soon at the door. "Quick to Leicester square!" cried the Colonel to the coachman. "A half crown extra if you will drive well." The cab drove off as rapidly as the horses could go. The goldsmith, in the" meantime, had-the service packed up, and wajted for his patron's return. The clock struck six, seven, eight nine. The Colonel did not come. Something un usual must have detained him; but the jeweler felt no anxiety, for had he not still the service and a" deposit of 100? Tired of waiting at last, he closed his shop at half after nine and went home. His wife, who had been long expecting him, had grown sleepy, and was slum bering peacefully on a sofa. An open letter lay in her lap. Mr. Green step ped lightly to her side, intending to wake her with a kiss, when his eyes fell upon the letter. ""What is this?" he cried, dumb founded, as he recognized his own handwriting and the letter which he had just written for the ColoneL The reader can readily guess the se quel and the connection. True, there existed a CoL Green who had served in India and the Crimea, and had been wounded at Balaklava, who had rented the house in Leicester square, and who possessed a consider able fortune; but alas! he was not the CoL Green who had ordered the silver service. Heaven knows by what means the sharpers had gained knowl edge of all the facts and circumstances upon which they constructed their ad mirably ingenious plan. The man who personated groom, of course, was an accomplice, and the let ter which Mr. James Green had penned for the pseudo CoL James Green was delivered by him to the jeweler's wife, who did not hestitate a minute to de liver to him the 1500, because she recognized her husband's handwriting .. - uVon tne P6" stamped with the name of the jewelry firm.

There are at least thirty huckleberry marshes in St Joseph County, or close to its borders. The largest of these is the Great Schroeder marsh, which con tains over 100 acres. It is three miles southeast of "Walkerton, and lies in three different counties. Xear it are the Baltimore & Ohio and Indianapolis. Peru & Chicago roads, which make it a desirable shipping point There are two men who buy all the berries picked here, and all Through the sejison the number of pickers is estimated at 1,200 to 1,S00, while on Sundays there are not less than 3,000. This" Sunday in crease is made up partly of people" who go to pick for their own use, but most ly of curiosity seekers, who, under the guise oi picKers, manage to see more wickedness than can be crowded into one day elsewhere. In the centre of this immense marsh, which goes bv the name of "Huckleberry Hell " there is an island dotted with a few trees where the regular pickers resort when not at work. It is covered with tents and shanries used for cooking, sleeping, and sinful purposes. Besides these, there are more imposing shanties of rough boards, filled with general mer chandise to exchange for berries, or sell to the pickers, who, as long as the season lasts, are "Hush of funds." Still largershanties are stocked with liquors, others are filled with prostitutes, and when the pickers are idle, and at night, gambling, drinking and vice are carried on to a fearful extent Chicago has vomited its depraved of both sexes on the island women from the vilest haunts, pickpockets, snaik-thieves and burghirs, mingle among the pickers, intimidating everybody, and attempt ing to pollute all. Decent people who go there to pick berries have to keep in a body, and no man is safe if he be comes isolated from his crowd. Fights are of such constant occurrence that, unless accompanied by stabbing, or shooting, they excite no comment There is no redress for any crime, for there is no law on the island, except that enforced by a woman who is known as the "Huckleberry Queen." A few years ago thousands" saw this woman in Montgomery Queen's cir cus, and wondered at her marvelous beauty, wlule they were astonished at her feats of strength. She combined in her body the grace and beauty of Venus and the strength of Hercules, with the wickedness of X'ana. She was known as "The Woman with the Iron Jaw." She commanded a large salary, and was the principal attract ion of every show with which she traveled. One day she took as sudden a freak as the wicked and voluptuous Xana, and refused to appear any more in public She settled down in "the lit tle town of Tyner, some eight or ten miles from Lebweder Huckleberry marsh, lived a decorous life, joined church, and married. She soon tired of the matrimonial career, and four years ago, when she first made her appearance at the marsh, she became the wildest of.the wild ones there. Her strength, dash, and utter abandon, won her by common consent the title of "Huckleberry Queen." A score of times her title has been disputed, and she has asserted her assumed rights by sheer force of her individual strength. She has had more contests than any prize-fighter, and luis never been whipped. Last summer she drew two revolvers on two Chicago rowdies, who attempted xuidue liberties with one of her female friends. The men were quick enough to knock the re volvers from her hands, but she knocked them both down and brought them to terms. Her conduct frighten ed her husband into running away, last season, but' she did not mourn his absence. On the contrary, she picked up a green country youth named Fal kenberg, proposed to him, and, against his feeble resistance, marched liim out to Justice Sehaffers office to have the ceremony performed. It was after midnight when when they got there. The Justice is a bachelor, and sleeps in his office. She kicked the door open, and ordered the frightened Justice out of bed. He attempted to put on his clothes before striking a light, but she told him "dash" that formality, lighted the lamp herself, and forced the Jus tice to marry her to Falkenberg. while he stood there shivering in that single garment on which hotel clerks are wont to display their diamonds. This wedding took place hist Novem ber, but this summer she found it a marriage of inconvenience, as it in terfered with her wild life, and she bought this second husband's absence with a suit of clothes. Despite her rough, wild life, and immoderate drinking, the "Huckleberry Queen" is still a handsome woman. Sunday is always a gala day at this marsh, and at the stamping ground. yesterday, special attractions were of fered. There were a walking match, greased pole climbing, rifle target-shooting, a greased-pig chase, and the Huck leberry Queen lifted by her teeth a chair with a man weighiug 230 pounds seated in it There was a dancing platform, where :dl day long prosti tutes and their associates danced to execrable music, and drank themselves into the wildest revelry. Chrriositie3 of Battle. A "Western paper has been compiling incomplete mortality statistics of some of thebigbattles of the civil war. Eighty soldiers, all shot above the hips, and all of one regiment fell dead at one volley in the battle of Gettysburg. At Fair Oaks twenty men "went down one upon the other in the space of a few reet and never moved a limb among them after falling. One shell at Cold Harbor exploded in the ranks of an Ohio regiment, killing sixteen soldiers. At Savage Station, during McClelLin's charge, a solid shot fired from a Federal piece at an infantry column marching by fours, killed twenty-one men. At Frederickburg five thousand Union soldiers were killed in les3 than ten minutes.

How They Sacrificed Their Temperance Principles, and "Worked "With the Eum Eellers. Boston, Sept. 23. A Portland letter to the Journal shows bow certain Pro hibition leaders worked with the liquor interests against the liepublican candi date: The most remarkable feature of the campaign was the course pursued by Xeal Dow, Joshua Xye,anl other ultra Prohibitionists. They took offense at Gov. Davis because he would not ap point such men to be Special Constables as Mr. Xye desired. These Constables were created by a law of the last Leg islature to enforce the Liquor law where the local authorities were deem ed to be remiss. It was a delicate duty, and Gov. Davis could not appoint the hot-headed men whom Xye and a few others demanded. When he would not there was trouble. Xye's first purpose was to turn the Prohibition vote over to Plaisted, but that was impracticable. Xext he and his friends undertook to nominate a temperance candidate, but he declined. Lastly Xye was under stood to be a candidate for Governor in connection with one Joy, of Ellsworth. Both received about 500 votes. Mr. Xye says, however, that during the last days of the canvass both he and his friends did their utmost to induce the Prohibitionists to bote for Gen. Plaist ed. and congratulates himself that his little coterie w:ts able to give the Fus ionists 2,000 votes. It is said that Xeal Dow wrote to his personal friends urg ing them to vote for Plaisted. Thus we find Xeal Dow, Joshua Xye, and the head of the Good Temp lars working side by side with the or ganized liquor interest of the cities to secure the election of Plaisted. The rum-sellers never expected aid from that quarter, but they are none the less grateful for it In this county the same men did their utmost to defeat and did aid in defeat ing, the Republican candidate for Sher iff, who represented an enforcement of the law in Portland an enforcement which, if it has not succeeded in clos ing the traffic, has been vigilant and even half malicious in its prosecution of violators of the law. By this action the Dowitcs did the rum-selling inter est the greatest Kssible service, since they aided the organized rum interest in electing a Sheriff wlio will permit the same freedom in liquor-selling tliat now prevails in Bangor tinder the Fus ion Sheriff. In other words, Dow, Xye& Co. have become the agents and allies of the rum interests, and have inflicted a wound upon the cause of prohibition from wluch it-will not soon recover, because they have proved to sensible men that they will sacrifice that principle to gratify personal spite. A Pantous Pennsylvania Orchard. Solon Bobinson hats traveled 1,000 miles to see a famous Pennsylvania orchard on the Juniata river, in Juniata County, 144 miles from Philadelphia, near a little station ealled Thompson town. "Tliere," says Mr. Bobinson. "if the traveller going west on the Pennsylvania railroad will look out South, and up the steep hillside, he will see the main orchard of 15,000 peach trees, J 0,000 quince trees, and D.0U0 Siberian crab apple trees. And if he could stop and ride through the orchad. :is I did to-dav, and find one dead or diseased tree, he will find more than I could : although I was told, by Mr. Taylor, the foreman, that he did lose one tree in the section where we were. And how many trees are there in this section?' 'six thousand. If a like result can be found anywhere eke on earth, I shoukl like to'be in formed, that I might make another pilgrimage of 1,000 miles to see it as I have to see this, the most healthy, thrifty, most promising young orchard I have ever seen in all my extensive journeys through the United States and Canada. Yet most of the land is unfit for any other cultivation, and a considerable portion of the ground has never been plowed, because so steep, and so full of stones and roots. In tlus respect it reminded me of some of the vineyards of Pleasant Yalloy, it being often difficult to get dirt enough to make a good bed for the roots." The orchard is owned by H. Bradford, a Connecticut river Yankee. A few years ago the tract, containing 440 acres, came into Mr. Bradford's hands, upon false representation that it con tained valuble veins of iron ore. He bought it unseen. "When seen, it was found to yield no workable ore, and only a small tract of farm land with a few common buildings. The question was. "What shall 1 do with it ?" That question lias been answered in the splended orchard on the ground. The first section of peach trees wasplauted in 1S75. and on July 21, of this year, when Mr. Bobinson visited the orchard, the first full crop of peaches was be ing gathered. A Bodie Snake Story. George Finney, driver of the Virginia and Bodie stage, says that snakes of several species, including hoops and rattlers, are getting to be so plentiful along the road at this end of the route that it is dangerous to leave the coach, and it is a great wonder he hasn't lost his team before this. In coming in the other day he drove into a lot of snakes that literally covered the road for about 500 yards. He couldn't turn out so he sent the silk into the horses and dashed through on a dead run. How the team escaped injury puzzles him. One big hoop-snake about ten feet long, that was laying in the center of the road, a3 soon as it heard the coach coming uncoiled itself just as the team was passing over it, and made a vicious strike with its spiked, bonv tail at the belly of the nigh wheeler, but missed him and struck the pole. j-iieiorce oi me mow wa3 so great! tuat tne tail was driven mto-the liara wood some three inches. The snake, being unable to with-draw it, was dragged along for about 100 vards un til it was killed by one of the wheel ers stepping on it and breaking off the spike. The venomous reptile gave a frightful yell, denoting pain mingled with rage, as it expired, and before reaching the next station the wairon- pole was swelled up as big as an ordin- ary saw log while poison was dripping out irom under the irons at each end i lit-P mwn nr fr-r.Tr. -, -rVc-t.l.- .... .. :.--""r:-t' """ .-. u .r jujj. j iI?ft OFFICIAi TAPER OF THEC0U5TT A Poetic Story There is quite a singular fact in con nection with Stiles hilL in the town of Southburnv known to the country residents living within sight of that eminence. For six decades two tall elm trees stood side by side, a little dis tance apart upon the topmost point of the elevation; these trees were visible for many miles around, ;nd from this fact they became noted landmarks. More then sixty years ago two little girls were wont to pass over the sum mit of this hill daily, during the sum mer season, to drive their fathers cows to pasture. They were impressed by the sightly attributes of the elevation, and often tarried to gaze at the wide spread landscape- One day they con ceived the idea of planting each a tree upon the hill summit, which should bo to them a reminder of their childhood days in the years to come. They put their idea into effect, and two slender elm shoots soon waved their green brandies as solitary sentinels in the open space round about Years pass ed by and the shoots grew into tall, statwart trees. The girls grew to womanhood and passed out of the parental home into the great, wide world. Occasionally they would meet one another and allude to the living reminders of youthful days, and often they would visit the familiar haunts of their girlhood and would sit beneath the wide-spreading branches of the mammoth elms. About five years ago one of the girls died, an aged Lady of almost SO. Scarce had the intelligence of her death reached the neighborhood of her youth than the residents observ ed that one of the elms was dying. Its leaves wilted and withered as though scorched by flame, and al though midsummer yet the foliage fell to the ground, leaving the naked, life less branches and stock looking deso late enough. Decay quickly followed in the great tree trunk, and during a high wind, one night the following winter, it fell to the earth. The other girl, though an octogenarian, still lives, and the old elm which she planted in her fresh young girlhood still lives. But the people, to whom the above circumstances are known, watch it with interest, feeling that a subtle relation ship exists between the two lives, and that the one will cease with the other. Waterbury (Conn.) American. Talk up Your County Friends talk up your county and speak a good word about your neigh borhood, not only when you" are abroad, but when you are at home. Dont go around looking as if every man was your natural enemy, and you were hope lessly tied up in a community with which you had nosympathy and no com mon interests. Don't run down the county and berate your follow citizens to every stranger you meet, but brag them up. Tell strangers you have a fine county. Don't deceive them by telling exaggerated stories or untruths. wit don t take a delight in makiu minent everv little mismanagement of f puDiic aiairs ami every little circum stance of your county's history that was not just according to your own ideas. Tell the strange visitor tbnt your people are hospitable, and prove it to him by introducing him among your friends. Let every man speak well of his neigh bors and his county, and induce stran gers to settle there. "When a stranger locates near you, make him think well of you and your neighbors. If there bo a bargain in a piece of vacant land near you. help to get that bargain disposed of. When it is in stronger hands and out of the market, it will stiffen the price of all lands surrounding it Get your farms into the hands of men out of debt and able to hold them, and yoa will see a boom in the real estate mar ket But so long as there is a farm for sale under the pressure of debts, the price of other lands will be influenced thereby. A vacaut store in a row of business houses injures the rental value of all the others, a demand for onemore store than can le had has the contrary effect. Prices of land are effected in the same wav. In a "STiafe'slEouth. TheXantucket correspondent of the Indianapolis Journal vouches for the following: Here I met Captain Wood, who ha3 been in a whale's mouth. After edg ing carefully toward the matter, a friend induced him to tell about it probably for the ten tltousaiidth time. "Yes, I was standing in the bow of the boat, with the iron in my hand," saidhe, "looking around forhismajesty, for I thought we had given him his death-blow. Suddenly up he came right ahead of me, and" he struck the l)oat underneath with Ids prolonged jaw, knocking it out from under me, and I fell straight over into his mouth." "What did you think then?" asked a listener, as the Captain paused. "Thought I was a goner," answered the Captain, "especially when he shut his mouth on me. But he was, for tunately, in the agonies of death, too worried to think of me. and, after giv ing me one savage crunch, he blowed me out of hi3 mouth, covered with blood. I at once struck out for the boat." "And when they picked him uptbey thought he was killed," said another captain ; "though, after a good while, he recovered, with the ugly wounds that you see." There was a scar some inches long across Captain "Wood's scalp, and a great lump on his side was visible under his coat. "What did you think when you were in his mouth, and knew where you were?" asked another bystander.- "Thought he'd yiekl about tight bar reL" said Captain "Wood, turning over his quid, and calmly firing at the box of sawdust Dr. Lyman Beecher, on returning home from church one Sabbath, said he felt he had done very poorly. Said one of his boys: "Why, father, I thought you were never in better trim; you just shouted out to 'em." "Aye, aye," replied Mr. Beecher, "that's it exactly: when I'm not pre pared I always holler at the top of my voice."
