NIGHT OF TUMOR.
Recently a bishop of the Methodist
Episcopal church returned from a lour
of the south and made his headquarters
at oue of the big hotels up town. To
those who called upon him at the hotel
he told a funny story ubout experienco
among the negroes of tho South. lie
went down with a party to onu of the
fashionable resorts alone; tho const. One
Sunday he was tol I of a service that was
to bo held at a colored Melhodi.it church
several miles inland. It was suggested
that the party attend these services, and
accordingly carnages were ordered and
the drive was tuadc. Tho rest of the
story is best told in bis owu language.
lie said:
When wo arrived at the church, we
found that it was to be a sort of special
service to raise nioiioy to pay offa church
:bt. I'hey had recently erected a new
church, and it was only partly paid for.
The local bishop had been summoned,
and a great effort was being made to get
the nioucy. When wo had taken our
seats, a colored brother came arouud and
asked us if we would not go to the front,
but we declined.
"In tho course of his remarks the bish
op dwelt upon the good work that had
been dono in the name of the Redeemer
and called upon every one present to con
tribute something toward paying off the
great debt that the church had assumed
in building a new houso of worship. 11c
said that tho debt was 8142 35, and that
it must be met. His eloquent plea reached
our hearts, and wc made up a little purse
among ourselves and raised $100, The
money was handed to me, and I, when
the plate was passed around, laid u crisp
8100 bill on the plule.
While the money was being counted a
song service was held. It was plainly evident
0 nothing unusual was going on, and (lure
was a subdued air of excitement, amon
those counting tho money. Finally the
bishop stepped lo the front nod raised bis
id The music e -used at once. II
began to speak very gravely, uud imag
ined our astenishnicnt when he said :
" ' Brethren, wc have met wilh remark
le success in our efforts today. W
hive received enough money lo pay oil
the debt and a surplus of 81 1 12 thai
H, providing the bill which the gentleman
from tho north gave us is genuine.' "

He Felt a Scorpion on his Leg ani Suffered
Awny I'nlil he Found it was Only a
Corn Piaster.
Mr. Blossom had probably been asleep
three hours, when he suddenly awoke
with a feeling that something foreign
was adhering to his leg, just above his
knee. Ilo made no move to place his
hand on tho fpot lor fear it might prove
to be a poisouous insect. Tho inoro he
concentrated his mind on the spot of op
pression, the tuoro he felt convinced that
there was a poisonous insect of a large
size resting on his leg, waiting fur him
to miiko a move, when it weuld strike
him with its poisonous fangs, nnd proba
bly poison him to death. He bad read
in the paper only a few days before
where a mun had brought home a scor
pion in a bunch of bananas, and the nar
row escape ono member of the family had
from being poisoned. He remembered
he bad himself that evening brought
home some bananas for his better half, and
would have wagered that he had brought
home a poisonous insect with them. The
more he thought, tho more he was con
vinced and ho perspired freely. What
should he do woko his wife? No; she
was a woman and would probably faint
He might take a hap hazard shot at 'lie
annoying spot on the leg, and, might
perhaps, kill the insect. Then ho hap
pened to think if he hit the insect
ho would also hit his leg. What could
he do? Ah, happy thought I lie
doubled up his fist and drew it closo to
his face; and then with all his strength
he dashed it downward and struck
leg directly over the spot of annoyance
with a blow that would have felled an
ox. As it was it vcrv near broke his
leg. The jar of the blow, of courso,
awoke Mr9. Blossom, who yelled, "For
Heaven's sake, Joe, whbt is the matter
is the house on fire?"
"No!" yelled back Joe, who had
jumped from the bed as soon as the blow
had been delivered, and who was now
stumbling about t ho dark room in senrcli
of a mulch.

I'M) LUCK FOLLOWS II Kit
A certain officer, high in authority in
the ranks of tho Fourth Battalion, tells
a very good story on himself in relation
to an experience which actuall befell him
while traveling some time ago on the
Queen and Cresent rimd. His business
called him to Ahibumu, and, arrived ut
lis destination, found it necessary In go
into the interior iu order to attend to
mutters requiring bis attention, lie
returned to the station very late, nnd it
was fully 12 o'clock before the taiiu
bound for the cily pulled iu. Tired out
he boarded I he Mann sleeping car, mid
was told by the porter thut there were no
icrths Knowing tho conductor, he
aroused that individual, but was met by
the same reply to his demands.
"But I must have ono," Buid the mili
tary man. "I am tired sut and have got
to bunk somewhere. See what you can
do, old man, there's a good fellow."
"Well, replied the conductor," "111
tell you what I can do. In Seclion B

are seriously ill, but the left upper berth
is empty. Now, it' you will slip into the
berth without making any noise and get
out before they awake, why . you may
have the ctance. But whatever you do,
don't make a noise."
The military man jumped at the
chance, and leaving his shoes in the
passage, got into the berth successfully
and went to sleep. He awoko and saw
the light peeping between the curtains,
and was astonished to hear a chatter ol'
girlish voices. Peeping from his berth
he was still more astonished to find the
section occupied by a trio of young dam
sels, who, unconscious of the presence of
a horrid man, wero making a hurried
toilet.
Being a bashful man, he hid his bead
under a pillow, when he was hornhod to
hear the Dorter knock at the door and
pass in his shoes.
"You made a mistake, said one of the
iris; "There is no man in here."
"Vas, dere is, miss," the factotum an

There was silence for a moment, then

How a Young Wife Stopped Her Ilustand
from Drinking.
A young wife had just settled in her
new home. All seemed fair and promis
ing, but ouc night her husband came
home very lale and staggered iuto the
house. His wife, greatly shucked, told
him he was ill, uud lo lie dow at once.
Ho did so. His face was reddish purple,
his breuthiug heavy, and altogether he
was 11 pitiable lo'iking object, inusiaru
plasters were applied to his hands and
feet. When the doctor ciunc, felt his
pulse, examined him, and found that he
was diuud ho suid:
"lie will bu ull right in the morning."
But the wife insisted that he was very
ill, and severe remedies must be used.
"You must shave his head and apply
blisters," she urged, "or I shall send for
some one who will."
II is head was accordingly, shaved
closely and blisters applied. All night
he lay iu a druukcu sleep, notwithstand
ing the blisters.
About daylight he awoke to a most
uncomfortable consciousness of blisters
agonies.
"What does this mean?" he said
putting his hand to bis bandaged head.
"Lie still; you mustu't stir," said the
wife- "You have been very ill."
"I am not ill."
"Oh, yes you are; you have bruin
fever. We have worked hard with you
all night."
"I should think you hud !' groaned
the victim. "What's the niiitlcr Willi
my feet?"
"They are blistered."
"I am better now. Take off the
blisters; do," hu pleaded, pilcoiisly.
He wus most uncomfortable; his head
covered with sours, and bis hands nnd
feet still worse.
"My dear," he. said, groaning, "if
should set sick iu this way again, do not
lie ularmed or send fur a doctor, and
above ull, do not blister me nguin."
"Oh, indeed, I will. All that saved
you was the blisters; and if you should
have another spell 1 should be more
frightened than ever, for the tendency,
am sure, is to apoplexy; ond from the
next attack you will be likely to die
unless the severest measures are used."

At the grand army encampment in
Cleveland General Leggett related an in
cident which wus vouched for to him as
authentic. It is so remarkable that,
coming from almost auybody elso than
the general, it would hardly be believed.
During the war a squad of Confederate
soldiers under command of u captain
captured a number of United Boldicrs,
und with them an American flag. The
Confederate officer was delighted with
tho capture of the flag, and to show his
contempt for it drugged it behind him
through the dut and dirt as ho marched
into General Stonewall Jackson's camp
with his prisoners. A Confederate sol
dit-r, scciug the stars and stripes trailing
in the dust, raised his musket, took aim
at the Confederate officer, nnd in lun
gunge more forcible than polite told him
to lift that flui: out of the dust or he
would blow his brains out.
1 he orlicer saw "shoot in the man s
eye and lifted the flag out of the dirt,
but took the namo of the private soldier
who bad "insulted" him, and reported
the incident to General Jackson. The
general usked what he had done to excite
the wrath of the private, and the captain
told him that he was drugging the stars
and stripes through the dirt, "He did
not shoot you?" said tho general. "No,"
suid the officer, "he did not shoot me."
The general made some rcuiurk which
indicated that hu would not have dealt
harshly with the man had he d ine so,
nd suid to the officer, "That soldier a
born under the stars and stripes, und his
father was, uud he still retains a respect
and 11 IT el ion lor it, and un officer of 0111
army who has no higher appreciation of
the senlimcnls of our people than U;U

Goucrul IiCggutt remarked that this
showed that there wus in the Confederate
army a strong undercurrent of ulfeclion
for the old stars and stripes, und he
added that a prominent officer of the
Confederate army once made the r-murk
that the mistake the Confederates made
was in adopting a new flag; that they
