\
A HALF HEARD SONG.
A wonder came out of the air from afar;
It was song, it was beauty and strength and
'delight.
And it soared to a main that was rayed like a
star,
Reviving old faiths in the triumph of right
Over wrong and the triumph of life over death;
And it sank into the quavers of tenderness, too,
As if the sweet singer scarce trusted the breath
Of a love just awakened by one who might woo
Her to give even life for himself, and would go
Whereslpe‘er he might lead, though he led to the
rec ,
Orin silence heroic could nobiy bestow
All the wealth of her heart and receive nothing
back.
Is a spirit concealed in the song from afar?
Is some mighty magician at work, that we hear
In its pure undulations the tones that unbar
Thogates of the soul? That the thrill in the ear
Sends a thrill to the heart of such various scope.
Though the words are all swallowed by spaces
of air?
That meanings profound as the deepest we grope
For in language‘s letter seem symbolized there?

NEW YORK’S STREET BEGGAR.
The Night Mendicant or Alcoholic Skuiker
Who is Peculiarly Offensive.
The New York street beggnl'——that breed of
him that infests the town after dark, I mean
-—is getting to be as noteworthy for his im-
pudonco as the beggar in Europe is for his
servility. It is generally understood that
when you ask favors from people you do it
politely. The night mendicant in New York
apparently reverses this rule. The other
morning in the small hours a filthy and alco-
holic skulker on the avenue halted mo and
demanded aims. I say demanded because the
term fits the case exactly. “Gimme the price
of a night’s lodgings,” said he; "there’s a
good feller.” Alld he followed me up, with
such courtly advances as “I say, you, are you
goin’ to let me sleep out all night?’ “Gimme
a dime, do you hear!” and so 11 ill the same
spirit. After I had dropped im a pale and
sickly boy, with an intelligent face and man-
ner, shyly begged me for some help.
He told a story of having come to town to
find work, being sick and homeless, and
though he may have lied his appearance gave
credulity to his story. Such a case, I say it
in no vanity, I try to never pass by, and I
sent him of! to look for a supper and a bed.
My bandit of the avenue had come looting
up in time to see this, and the beggar's bloss-
illg he gave me was so ridiculously outrageous
as to be absolutely amusing. So I smoked
my cigar and listened to it till the appear-
ance of a policeman put my oratorical friend
to flight. The officer stated that there was
hardly a night that he was not called upon
to drive one of these insolent vagabonds ofi
from more sensitive victims than myself.
With women they are especially offensive.
I was strolling to his club with a friend the
other evening. There was a young girl,
walking ahead of us, who had come out from
a church near by ,where service was just
over. My friend recognized her as his wife’s
maid. At the street comer a big, squalid
fellow dodged out of a doorway alld said
something to her. She started forward alld
be seized her arm. We went tothe rescue
and he shambled ofl’, cursing. The girl said
he was a beggar who haunted that corner
and preyed on the people coming from the
evening services at the church. He had de-
manded money of her, and when she refused
it had threatened her and seized her as we
had seen. And this, like my own experience,
was on the aristocratic residence street of
flow York—Alfred Trumblo in New York

HOW TO SOBER OFF.
A Remedy Which Appears To Be Quito
as Bad to the Disease.
A member of the Young Bachelors’ club
turned ill his resignation the other night on
the ground that he was about to be married
on the next day. According to the constitu-
tion the young fellow was obliged to treat the
boys to all the delicacies of the season. As
the night advanced two of the members,
piqued at their friend’s club dcreliction,
thought it would be a good joke to make it
impossible for the young man to be present at
the wedding the next morning. They made
him so drunk that he couldn’t stand. In this
predicament he was found by the friend who
was to act as his best man. The friend, for-
tunately, was a well seasoned drinker and
took ill the situation at a glance. The pros-
pective husband was aware of the plight he
was in, and with tools in his eyes begged his
friend to have him braced up ill time for the
ceremony.
There wasn’t a moment to lose. The friend
dragged the groom elect illto the back room
of asaloon and droppe(l_him into a chair.
He then went to the bar and mixed four
spoonfuls of cayenne pepper into a bottle
of ginger ale, and by main strength
forced it down the young fellow’s throat.
He had felt all on fire before, but when
this fearful potion was administered be im-
agined that n. volcano was raging within
him. He uttered an awful yell and made a
dash for a pitcher of ice water near by, but
he was held firmly in the chair while his
friend wound awct towel round his head.
The water was running ill streams from the
young fellow’s eyes, and the towel soon be
gauto steam. For ten minutes this agony
was prolonged, after which his friend laid
him on his back upon the table and pounded
his stomach with an umbrella. The young
bridegroom was now linlp and apparently
lifelem. He was carried back to the chair
and a glass of ice water forced down his
throat. The sudden change was painful.
The poor fellow’s teeth chattel-ed alld he
shook ill every limb. He was then carried to
asettee and wrapped in two billiard table
covers. “Then his heavy breathing showed
that he slept his friend went out and sat in
the barroom. In all hour he aroused his
friend alld gave him a cocktail.
The effect of this heroic treatment was
startling. The young fellow was not only
perfectly sober, but as bright as a lurk. “I I
was pretty full last night, wasn’t I?” be ill-
quired, as if trying to recall his past ex-
periences. “How did you ever sober me so
soon?” ~
“That’s an old fashioned brace up,” replied
his friend, smiling compiacently, “and the
forerunner of the modern Turkish bath.”—

Govermontnl Supervision.
Col. H. M. Greene, of the Kansas Asylum
for the Feeble Minded, Writing upon the
subject of strong government, says: “One
of the most important subjects of gov-
ermuental supervision is the scrutiny of all
incongruous and inharlnonious elements, and
the adoption of measures for their conversion
into harmonious action. And the insignifi—
cance of the obstacle cannot be logically
pleaded. A grain of dust may blind a king.
A beggar has slain a ruler, and changed the
whole course of statecraft. A single woman,
mentally deformed, has cost the great city
many lives and thousands of treasure. Tho
errant boy, who knows no guide or governor
save his own lawless will, may lead the mob
to the sack of the burning city. The states-
man must recognize these perils and provide
against them. * * * It may be held that
the principle which governs in the family is
affection for each member, and this sentiment
should still be permitted to provide suitable
care for lie defective members. But it can
be shown that public welfare often demands
means which are strongly opposed by family
affection. Vaccination is deemed a necessary
operation in order to protect the community,
but it is often violently rejected by the fam-
ily. Ignorance, or false kindness of the fam-
ily, often negatives the acts most needed to
promote its welfare, and, in a degree, that of
the community. Of all the agencies for pro«
moting health and maintaining it tho ordi-
nary family is the least reliable and successful.
That the ignorant, the superstitious, the ab-
jectly poor, even the openly vicious. should
be intrusted with the care and improvement
of the desperately deplorable case requiring
aid, isn. proposition, abhorrent as it seems,
which is often urged by pretended statesmen.
Scarcely better is the attitude of those states
which permit their idiotic alld insane to die
in county jails, wanting not means but dis-
position to build nsylums for their care."
The lilossroom at Sing Sing.
A glance into the messroom reveals 1,105
convicts bending over their plates, eating
their bread and meat, or lapping up their
soup. Along the aisles are ranged the keep-
ers, dressed in blue. Not a sound is heard ill
all that mass, of men save the occasional
scraping of the bottom of a soup dish with a
pewter spoon. Now and then a hand is
raised. “What is that for?" is asked.
“That means one whole piece of bread,” is
the reply. Then both hands appear above a
convict’s head, with the two forefingcrs
crossed. “And what does that mean?”
“That means a half a slice, for none is al-
lowod to be wasted, and every mull lnust cut
up all he receives.”
The silence is almost denthlike while for
twenty minutes the meal advances. Then
the men rise, the companies are formed in
line, the lockstcp begins. and “Swish, swish,
swish,” out they go across the flowering yard
back to their stations in the workshops—New

Th.) Organ Grinders' Monkeys.
I have always had a curiosity to discover
where the organ grinders’ monkeys get their ‘
outfits. The other day my craving was grati-
fied. In a Broom street basement I dis-
covered a pretty girl trimming a monkey’s
coat. The lists and caps which complete the
costume of the melodious ape were only pres-
ent to the extent of a boxful. There is not a
very heavy demand for these cestumes, says
the pretty girl, and their manufacture is only
part of that of cheap dolls’ clothing and queer
rag rabbits, cloth cats and other articles of
vertu such as are sold by street vendors. You
can dress a monkey decently for half a dollar
and provide him with a uniform cut to order,‘
warranted to fit and splendid enough for an
opera bouffe field marshal, for a dollar and a
half," cash down. ‘ The credit system, without
which dudedom would be in a bad way, does
not prevail at this class of monkeys’ tailors.—

LIFE ON THE FARM.
STORY TOLD BY A PALE AND
SAD YOUNG MAN.
Following the ,Advice of a Physician
Who Recommended Outdoor Exercise.
And Above All “Such Long, Quiet
nglits’ Sleep"—The Hay Hill-vest.
“No,” said the pale young man sadly, “I am
not working on a farm for my health now.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. I have come away, and the furln
which knew me would perhaps know me yet
if it could get a sight of me, but it can’t.
“I went out, you know, by the) advice of a
physician. Said be: ‘You need outdoor excr-
cise, and above all, sleep, such long, quiet
nights’ sleep as you can only find in the coun-
try away from the noise and heat of the city,
with the great open windows and the cool
and velvety breeze floating through your
room all night long, with perhaps all occa~'
sional night with the pattering rain upon the
roof to lull you to sleep.’ That’s what the
doctor said.
“So i hired out to a farmer to work all
summer. He said I was so white and pale
that he couldn‘t give me anything but my
board for my services, but if I wanted to
work for that I might climb ill behind the
seat and ride out.
”So I did. Ho had one mule and one horse,
and the mule balked every tiluc we went
up hill and the horse every time we went
down hill, and they both tried to run away
on the level. He drove them with a trace
chain tied on a white ash ax llclvc.
“But we got out there at last. I don’t want
to tell you anything about the work today—
I haven‘t time—but I feel as if I must say
something about those long nights’ sleep.
“The first night we got home late, but still
the sun was only nicely down. The sun sets
about two hours later out there than any-
where clse in the known world.
IIILKING TIME.
“After supper the farmer spent one hour
and a half telling me about the flux crop on
the back forty and then he reckoned we
better milk. There were twelve cows and
he said each would take six. He gave me
kickers, and it took me two hours, and it had
been dark 0. long time when I finished. Then
he had me pump up water for the next day.
And it took forty minutes. Tilell I filled the
wood box and split the kindling wood. And
as it was a big box it took thirty minutes.
Then he told me about the oat crop, which
took an hour. And when I went to bed it
was growing light ill the east.
“The window ill the room was a pane of
glass nailed over an irregular hole ill the
boards and could not be opened. I fel‘.
around ill the dim light and finally got illto
bed. I had just fallen asleep and had begun
to dream I was lying along the ridge pole of
a double humped camel when the farmer
pounded on the stairs with an old broomstick
and said breakfast was ready. I couldn't see
as it was any lighter than when I went to
bed, though the sky in the cast was a little
redder.
“I will pass over the day, as it is painful to
recall. Or rather the day and the last end of
one night and first end of another, for we
were ill the hay field sixteen hours.
“And that evening after supper he said I
might throw the dirt out of a new cellar
while I rested.
“Then we milked, and he gave me eight
cows instead of six—all kickers. And one of
them was a hooker, too, and slammed me
through the corll crib.
9‘I got to bed an hour sooner than the night
before, because he said he was thinking some
of getting up early the next morning.
“And that night it rained, and I heard the
pleasant patter of the rain on the roof that
that old fraud of adoctor spoke about. But
it didn’t lull me to sleep, because it leaked
down on me and got the bcdclothes all wet
and I caught cold.
AT THE BAY AGAIN.
“And when the farmer pounded on the
stairs I got up and looked at my watch, and
I had been abcd an hour and forty minutes.
And my clothes were wet and there was water
in my shoes.
“But it wasa good day and we worked at the .
hay again. We mowed down what the farmer
called a ‘slather’ of it. And that night after
I had rested awhile on the cellar and milked
the twelve cows—twelve kickers—none of them
thought I was trying tokidnap her call and
chased me out of the yard—tile farmer said it
looked like rain again, and he reckoned we’d
better go out and cock up that hay before
bedtime.
“And before we got to the field I saw the
morning star, and when I had got up twelve
bunches of hay and the old hypocrite of a
furnlcr four, I heard a lurk. Then when I
had up twenty—four bunches and the farmer
six it began to grow qllito light.
“When the farmer saw it he laid down on
the hay and laughed for ten minutes. He '
said we had worked right through the night .
without knowing it.
“But I had known more about it than he .
thought I had.
“We worked an hour longer and then we
went to the house and I milked. Breakfast
wasn’t quite ready, and I threw a couple of
cubic yards of solid out of the bottom of the
cellar.
“And while we were eating the farmer told
me to hurry because he would like to get in
one full day’s work dul‘ing haying. I said I
would, too, and that 1 would stop and go out
and harness the horses. And he said that
was business, and I went out and ran down
the road and walked into town.
“And now I am looking for that old liar of
a physician and surgeon who told me about
the long nights’ sleep I would get on a farm.”

WHERE CUSTER FELL.
A VISIT To THE FIELD WITH GALL,
WHO LED THE INDIANS.
Sitting Bull Not in the Fight at All—Tho
Horses Stulnpedcd by Roy \Vurriors.
History Corrected— l‘lm Losses on until
Sldes.
The Indian canlp was 01] the left side of the
Little Horn river, extending up and down
the stream, in a lovely, fertile bottom,
covered with rich herbage and luxuriant
grasses, and occupying an area i'uily three
miles in length by half a mile ill width.
When one considers the size of this cnnlp,
close packed with lodges, lcpecs and wicki-
ups, he can form some idea of the population
it contained. it Inust be remembered, too,
that every redskin ill a tribe—bucks, squaws,
boys, maidens, and all except the papooses—
does his or her level best at fighting when at-
tacked by au enemy. So it was with Sitting
Bull’s village in the Little Horn valley.
When the brave cavalry lender swept down
on the Indians with his usual dash and cclat,
he was not checked by bullets or arrows; no
want of courage caused him to pause and
falter, but simply nlass of numbers got in his
way, beat him back step by step, notwith-
standing the leaden hail poured into the sav-
ages from the cavalry carbinespaml finally
overpowered alId killed every white man
after the ammunition of the latter had been
exhausted. Custer’s men fought all they
could, fired shot after shot with tolling effect,
but all to no purpose.
Indians who were ii] that fight have tnld
me some strange stories. Sitting Bull was
not in the fight at all. Gall was the big chief
and generalissimo of the day, and while he
was leading the bucks and directing the ell-
gagement, old Tonka-te-Tonda (Sitting Bull)
was back in his medicine lodge making nlcdi.
cine. As the Indians won and Sitting Bull
made the medicine he, of course, got all the
credit for the victory. One of the Indians
says that the shells got stuck ill the white
man’s carbines,-nnd when these weapons were
‘thus rendered useless as fire arms the poor
fellows, pressed to the wall and overpowered
ten to one, clubbed their guns and fought
desperately, with death storing them ill the
face, until the last doomed man fell ill his
tracks. When the anlunition was exhausted
the Indians walked up, knocked them down
with clubs and butchered them with hatchcts.
Gall told me that the main object of his
young men was to stampede the horses, which
carried the saddle pockets in which each
soldier had stored his ammunition. The
troopers hurl, perhaps, fifty rounds apiece on
their persons, but the main supply was ill the
saddle'bags, being entirely too heavy to carry
on the body. In all, the soldiers were sup-
plied with about two hundred rounds per mail
for the fight. When the cavalrymen were
dismounted to fight on foot one soldier
was detailed to hold every eight horses.
Gall says he quickly saw the advantage to be
gained could the horses, laden with ammuni-
tion be stauipeded, so he devised a plan to
that end. He sent a score or two of young
bucks up a ravine to the rear, and these elli—
bryo warriors, unmindi‘ul of flying lead and
the danger of the job, suddenly rose up with
yells and shouts just ill front of the horses,
swung their blankets wildly in the air, and
every stood in the oulflt broke loose from the
holders and scampored down the ravine to-
wards the Little Horn, where they were
gathered in by the squaws and old men
on the wait for just what had occurred.
Many of the Indians were armed with cav-
alry cal-blues and United States - ‘ ‘s, so
this very ammunition was turned against
Custer and his men, and no doubt had much
to do with deciding the fortunes of the day.
From all that can be gathered by question-
ing Carley, tllo Crow scent, and the only.
living survivor who marched with Custer,
and also from the narrative of Gall, who has
since visited the spot and told the story of the
day on the ground where he made it, it ap-
pears that there were between 0,000 and 7,000
Indians in the village at the time Custer de-
scended upon it, and that the attack was not
so much of a surprise to the red men as has
generally been supposed; Gall says that he
saw the soldiers early in the morning crossing
the divide, and noted carefully that the white
men divided themselves into three divisions.
When Custer’s command swept off to the
right they lost sight of that force temporarily,
keeping their eyes on Rollo, who come directly
down to the river, seeking uford to cross own
and fight, Reno did cross over, paused a
minute to rest and tighten girths, remounted
all his men, and rode up alongside some ash
timber a mile and a half, when he suddenly
came in sight of the village, W hen the
soldiers new all these Indians the bugles
sounded “charge.” the soldiers came rushing
like tho wind upon their women and children
and killed many of them, but the braves rallied
in great force. turned on the troopers and
chased them back to the river, into which
everybody tumbled and scrambled up to the
top of a steep hill opposite. When they had
Reno on the hill the bucks, ill great numbers,
tried to drive him off; but not succeeding,
the women, old men and some bucks were left
to guard them while the others recmssed the
stream and hurried down to the other end of
.the village, where the cry had been raised
that more soldiers were coming. Of course,
this was Custer’s outfit, and we have no tale
of that terrible affair except what the Indians
tell us.
From all that can be gathered, it seems
that Custer must have eonle down as far as
the river with his troopers, although Gall says
he never get within half a mile of the stream;
but the footprints of the cavalry horses lcd
ill a broad and well defined trail clear down
to the river, notwithstanding Gail‘s state-
ment, to the contrary. Gall went with me,
placed his foot on a certain spot, fully one-
half a mile from the river, and said flatly and
positively that the white soldiers got no
nearer the river than that point, and were
than first met by his braves and fought back
step by step to the ridge, where all finally
perished. When asked how these hoofprints
came on the bank. the chief explained that
they were made by white soldiers Oil horse-
back, who had attempted to escape from the
field by going down a ravine nlid then cross.
lug the river. These were met by seine bucks
on the other side, who turned them up stream
again, and, after racing parallel to the vil-
lugo for nearly three-quarters of a mile, were
finally crowded into the water, and they re-
crossed the river once more. They came out
just where all the cavalry tracks appeared,
and after running half a mile further, were
finally caught and knocked on the head with
stone clubs.
This chief, who was undoubtedly the leader
of the red forces on that day, further says
that only forty-three Indians were killed in
all, although a great many afterward “fell
over and died.” This phrase, I think, refers
to the wounded who died of their injuries.
This seems a very small percentage of casual-
ties among the red men, when it is con-
sidered that 204 white bodies were found on
the field, although more than 53-10 men yielded
up their lives on Custer‘s field. not counting
the killed and wounded of Reno's and Ben-
tcen’s commands—“J. M. T.” in Ncw‘York

E. P. Roo’s Idea of Authorship.
“It appears to me that the true impulse to-
ward authorship does not arise fronl a desire
to please any one, but rather from a strong
consciousness of something definite to say,
whether people will listen or not. I can hon-
estl y assert that I have never manufactured a
novel, and should I do so I aln sure it would
be so wooden and lifeless that no one would
read it. My stories have come with scarcely
any volition on my part, and their characters
control Inc. If I should move them about
like images. they would be but images. In
every book they often acted in a manner just
opposite from what I had planned. More-
over, there are unwritten stories in my mind
the characters of which are becoming almost
as real as the people I meet daily. While
composing narratives I forget everything and
live in an ideal world, which, nevertheless, is
real for the time. The fortunes of the char-
acters affect one deeply, and I truly believe
that only us I fcel strongly will the reader be
interested. A book, like a bullet, can onlygo
us far as tho projecting force carries it.”

I was troubled with Salt Rheum for a number of
years so that the skin came entirely on one of my

until i commenced taking Cniicura lielucdics,
and now i am entirely cured.

Catarrll to l‘onsunlption.
Caiarrh inns destructive force stands next to
and undoubtedly loads on to consumption. it is
therefore singular that those afflicted with this
fearful disease should not make it the object of
their lives to rid themselves of it. Deceptive
remedies concocted by ignorant pretenders to
medical knowledge have weakened the commence
of the great majority of sufferers in all advertizetl
remedies. They become resigned to a life of
misery rather than tenure themselves with doubt-
ful pailiatives.
But this will never do. Catarrh must be met at
every stage and committed with all our might.
In many cases the disease has assumed dangerous
symptoms. The bones and cartilage of the nose,
the organs of hearing, of seeing and of tasting so
affected as to be useless, the uvula so elongated.
the throat so inflamed and irritated as to produce
a constant and dislrcssing cough.
SANI‘oun’s RADICAL Conn meets every phase of
eaturrh, from a simple head cold to the most
loathsome and destructive stages. it is local and
eonstltulional. Instant in relieving. permanent in
curing, safe, economical and never falling.

and after the Backllche is cured, you can

And our wife over fiics doesn’t grieve.
But kills them with old family jars.

Language of the Hand.
Hands indicate character. A thin, skinny,
narrow palm expresses feebleness of intellect,
as well as absence of energy or moral force.
A hollow, deep palm indicates misfortune,
loss of money, misery and failure in enter—
prises. Shakespenre tells of all “itching
paling” that indicates that the blood is out of
order, with a covetons disposition. A stiff,
hard hand, that opens with difliculty to its
full extent, betrays stubbornness of charac—
ter and reluctance to open to calls of charity.
Supple elastic fingers. on the other hand,
while manifesting a tendency to extrava-
gance, nevertheless indicate talent and 5.13110-
ity. Those who have short fingers are quick.
impulsive, and not usually on the spur of the
momcllt, more readily-than those who have
long fingers. Short, thick fingers, nearly all
of the same length, indicate a callous, cruel
character, and betray clumsy unhundiuess in
manipulation, as well as a constant tendency
to falsehood and the defamation of the charac-
ter of others. Long’, slender fingers betray a
peevish, worrying disposition.
Young women ought to choose a husband
whose hands are naturally red; and hands
made red with difficulty should be carefully
avoided. A man with dark colored hands is
inclined to biliousuess and melancholy. As
an indicator of character, however, the
thumb is the “boss." A small, ill formed,
foebly balanced thumb betrays a vacillating
disposition. Small thumbcd persons are
governed by the heart, while the large
thulnbed are swayed by the intellect. Indo~
pendent, self reliant people have large
thumbs, or ought to have them, from the
point of view of the chiropodist, while pliant,
dependent and easily governed natures may
be known by the smallness of the digit,
always remembering that the feature must
be judged in proportion to the size of the
hand and the fingers on the same band.—
Joseph Simms, M. D., in Hall's Journal of
Health.
Fora llIonth’s Jaunt.
“Give me some idea of the outfit required
for amonth’s jaunt ill the mountains or by
the seashore?” '
“Well, in the first place, you would want a
flannel shirt—a good one—which would cost
83. Then, perhaps, if you were knickerbock-
ers, I could sell you a pair of boots or a pair
of canvas shoes. The first would cost $7 per
pair and the last 82. A polo cap, at $1,
would complete the wearable outfit; of course,
taking into consideration that you had
clothes. A big canvas tcllt can be purchased
for $15 and will stand the wear and tear of
two or three seasons. Then you would want,
ill case you were going to the mountains, a
canoe. Medium sized ones can be bought
cheap, solnc selling as low as $2. Fishing
tackle, guns, shade umbrellas and hammocks
come all prices. In hammocks many novel-
ties are shown. Here is one which can be
carried easily ill one side of a medium sized
hand bag. It is very compact and folds up
like an umbrella. In the past hammocks
caused complaint, owing to their bulk. Give
me $50, and with that suln I would guarantee ‘
to have a glorious m outh’s fun. "—Brooklyn
