It wits about eighty-three years ago,
‘ accordingto his recollection. that Noah
Baby, ordinary seamen. received his
discharge papers from the stench frigate
Brandywiue. which had just finished a
cruise of inspection of the various ports
of the United States and was then
docked at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
The day after he left the naval as ea
he betook himself to New Jersey. ya:
he joined himself to a farmer and 1'
money agreed to serve as a hired man.
Since that time he has never stepped
outside the boundaries or New Jersey.
For more than half a century, with
more or less stewliness. he followed the
occupation he had chosen. and then,
twenty-eight years ago. being full of
years and decidedly aveise to earning
his own living any longer. he settled
down at the Poor Farm in the township
of Piscatuwuy, not far from New
Brunswick, and there he has since re-
mained.
Today he is totally blind. but his eyes.
though sunken. have the sparkle of one
who can seeperfectly. 111.; body is bent
and his shoulders are contracted. but
the muscles of his 1mm and logs are
firmer than those of many a man not
yet thirty. His jaws are toothless and
his words are uttered with -a whistling
accompaniment. but his voice is strong
and full and his laugh is as hearty as it
was a century and more ago. His long
hair is white. but thick and luxuriant;
his whiskers are irongray. his heavy,
bushy eyebrovvs are still almost jet black.
and he can dispose of a solid drink of
good rye whisky with a sort of smack
that betokens the hellrtiost relish.
Though he believes his father to have
been an Indian. his skin is white. and his
features are of a pronounced Caucasian
type.

During the hottest of: the engagement Mm
Summons found himself in an exposed
position, with shot and shell playing
high revel around him, he sought
such shelter as was ado ed by a large
oak tree which was in dir t line of tire.
While, handling his pie. a bullet
struck his gunstoclr and cut a the two
first joints of the forefinger f his right
hand as cleanse a knife w

The dismembered linger dropped
among the leaves. and as he was more
firthular about saving the balance of
his body than about rescuing as little a
thing as a missing linger. he made the
best of his way out of the light. starich-
ing his bleeding hand as best he could.
The war was fought to a finish and
Summons came back home and went to
work. charging up his maimed hand to
the losses of the Confederacy. Some
time ago he decided to revisit the bat-
tlefield. which he had not seen in nearly
thirty-mo years. and so he betook him-
self to. Chicka‘mauga and started to
stroll over the battlefield.
The tree where he stood when
wounded occupied such a conspicuous
position that he feund little difficulty in
locating it. with all the scars and knots
on its rugged trunk caused by the flying
missiles of death. Having found the
tree he put. himself in the some position
in which lye was standing when wound-
ed. nnd then it occurred to him to look
for the bones of his missing finger.
Scratching around among the leaves.
much to his astonishment. he found the
bones where the finger had fallen. and
they corresponded exactly with the fin-
ger he had lost. They had lain there
undisturbed ever since that dread day,
and it was with a strange feeling that
he took them. and after blishing
their identity to his perfect satisfaction.
wrapped them up and took them away
with him as a strange souvenir of his
war-time exmriences. Mr. Summons

in the July (‘cntury is printed litmus-
lotion of portions of a quaint Jupauese
Life of (ion. Grant. The following is
an extract from it:
In tho spring of his sixtcouth year he
expressed a great thought to his father,
and addressed him. saying: "I have in
my mind the thought that. when four
years from today have passed, I shall
not be doing this kind of labor." The
father. thinking it a strange thing. said:
“Do you hate your father's hereditary
trade? Do you hate to bet-omen leather-
mukcr. and spend your life thus? What
profession. then. do you cxrmit to adopt
in future? Do you oxmct to go into the
fields carrying a sickle and a hoe? Do
you cxpm't to buy and sell things in the
market? Or do you fix your eyeballs
upon books of 10.000 volumes. and de-
sirc to sruxculute rensons and promote
moralitics. and become a man of wide

to those. (prostious, said: “To cultivate
