A very pathetic incidcut that occurred during the recent reunion of Confodorate veterans held iu this cily was related yes terday afternoon by a proiuiucnt state of ficial.

As he touched the veteran he observed that he had spent some lime in worship at the shine of liacchus, und at that time was just recovering vigoious mentality. While this scene was being enacted an olher veteran, who happened lo bo pass ing, stopped close by, as did the geutle i i who told the slory. "Hello, Johnny Hob; have you secured a room?'' asked the hotel manager. "Yes," replied the awakened man, with apparent surprise. " What is your name?" ".My name is Joe ." "What regiment woto you with?" "I was with Regiment and fought with tho Army of Virginia " At thisjuneturo the veteran who was standing by approached the two and asked iho man: "What did you say your name i?" "My name is Joe ," again replied the man. 'Where did you enter (ho army from? 1 "I enlisted at ,in ," replied Iho now astonished man. As he replied lo the last question the other man fell into his arms, weeping, and said: "Joe, d 'n't you know me?" The veteran pushed him off, presuming that he, too, w is in a iurbulcnt stale of miii I, caused by imbibing drinks other than water. The man would not be pushed off, and in bis subs, said:. "Joe, dou't you know me? This is J. din." "You are not John, for he was killed at . Manassas," said tho now throughly awakened and much astonished man. ' Jo ', I am your brother John.

They calculate that ihe earth will then pass again through tho centre of an immense swariu of uioieoroids, as they arc called before combustion.

L 'wii Swift, the distin guished aslrouar, of Rochester, N. Y'., sa)s, considerable showers iu those years also. Not only this, but it is stated on tho sumo auth irity that many forcruunors of the great shower may be expected to coinewilhiu the earth's utiuospherc on November 1 1, 181)7, because m.iny ol the uioieoroids ars always cousidoiably in advance of tho main clustr. 1'rufen sor Swift says "the thickness of the ujelooroidal stream is 100,0111) miles, and the duration of the shower is equal to the linn' of the diagonal passage of the r;i M Ii through ii, usually from mid night to dawn " Ho adds: "As there is a light shower of Leonidos every Nov oiub. r, we know that there is a vast ring formed by thu comet's tail, and that the minion. e shoal iu one portion is the pro duct of iho exploded comet itself, through which wc puss iinoo every thirtylhrco years and a day."

She was crying and seemed anxious and worried, but as she bud a through ticket to Sioux City, and tcurs being uboul as common as tickets with traveling women, I thought no more about it. "When we got out about 150 or 41) miles, we broke a draw bar and wore compelled tu chain the cars together iu order lo proceed.

However, as we none of us coveted the job, I told him to climb under and fasten tho chains, and I would give him a ride anyway.

When we wore ready I told him tu get on with the rest. When in the coach, wo found his its were nearly frozen and that he was thinly though neatly clad and was a refined looking fellow. He told mo his story. Ho was a elork and prosperous once. Then the firm failed, and he found li im sol I out of work and with no money. Then a letter from a friend tho Sioux Cily offered him a good place if he would come at oih.e and lake it.

The company had arrived iu town but a short lime before the performance begun, hence there bad no lime to test the instrument. Nevertheless, the professor boldly opened wide the lids of the long unused graud, and then sat down to the keys. Tho first touch convinced hitu the notes were slill clear and slroug. and that what ever defects ill tunc there might be would bo very slight, so he began the soul-inspiring select inn. Now it happened that in all tho monlhs in which the piano had remained unused a colony of yellow jacket wasps had industriously built themselves a home iu the shape of a nest as large as a good si.od saucer. The soft pianissimo prelude to the selcciion gcully woke tho wasps I'roui their sweet dreams Hut when the soft pedal was released aud the notes grow vigorous, and the piano began to reverberate to the heavier passages, iho disturbed wasps suspected danger. They curled lie ir backs and stretched aud shook their gauzy wings viciously, liut the professor, unheedful of the fact that tho music, far from soothing iho savage breast of the vicious wasps ambushtd wilin that piano, was rousing their ire, played on. From pianissimo to piano with one bound to fortissimo the composi tion ran. All t lie while the wasps flul tured their wings wickedly, viciously, and all I bo while the professor played. Now came the climax; now be was throwing together vast handfuls of notes in ihe bas-o profundi) region of the instrument, Just as the Sleinway grand was belching lorih from its innermost soul I he musical thunder of that great Wagnerian opera. the vengeance huutiug army of yellow icket wasps swept out of the instrument, with a buzzing war song, down ihe ball- way and upon (ho audience, Suddenly ul-rending shrieks resounded through the ball.
