Tho Old Soldier.
(f im fbn R.-lfigh Sentinel.)
He was quite an old man, and he
had quite a bad limp, and he re
marked as he touched his hat :
'All I want is money enough to
get to Savannah. I feel that I
have not long to lire, and I want to
be buried in tbat nice, cool grave
yard just outside of Savannah.'
The appeal rdu't open a single
wallets He was talking to three
men whx hatt found a shady spot
under a grocery awning, and he
seemed a little disappointed. Pull
ing a new striDg, he remarked :
'Gentlemen won't do someth'ng
or an old seldicr T '
'Were you a soldier ;i the last
war V asked one of the group.
4I was,' was the prompt rtply.
'What branch of the service V
'The heavy arallery.'
'Whtro were you stationed':'
'Well,' slowl; replied the stran
ger, as if bo hadn't expected such
a question, 'we were sometimes here
and sometimes there. The fact
wus, our artillery was so heavy
that we generally kept it on a hill.
The Confederate government didn't
seem to expect that us three or four
men were going to drag a big can
non all over the country and whip
the Yankees to boot. Yes, 1 was
weunded in the left leg.'
'In what action ?' w is asked.
'7 never knew what they nnaed
' it; ray business was to git up and
hump and knock thunder out of a
! whole Union regiment to once, and
you just bet I didn't have any time
to fool around and ask what they
weie going to name the battle. 1
went into the war to fight, and
didn't I jvst thtow myself through.'
'Did you throw yourself under a
wagon V qvretly asked one of the
three.
'Sometimes I did and sometimes
I didn't. They used to let me fight
any way to win. i've fit from un
der a wagon and from the top of a
tree, and the Lays used to call me
tbe wild cat.'
'They must have seen you 'claw
injr' to the rear,' Suggested another
of ibe trie.
'Very likely, gentlemen. Some
times 1 could figlit better at the
rear, aiid I went bacl
Then I'd

the:
I'd advance and mow 'an down

nere uki ou
3ay you were
wounded ?'
'In the leg just about there.
The surgeon said that three or forr
bullets hit me at once.'
'Bo honest, now, old man, and
tell us if you didn't get that leg
hurt in a mill er around machin
ery V
'GrettGod! do you doubt my
word?' gasped the man, starting
back.
'We do !' the replied in chorus.
He closely scanned each face,
and indulging in gestures to show
how he deplored such conduct to
ward one who had fought bravely,
when one of the men said :
'Come now, speak the truth, and
we'll raise you thirty cents.'
The old man turned to go, halted
hesitated, and then replied:
'I suppose, gentlemen, that I fell
off a building in Atlanta and hurt
my leg, but it happened so durned
close after a battle that I could
never really tell whether the fall or
theiight hurt me the most. Now,
please pass in your ten ceatses !'
A F3V7 of Fred Earnaby's Feats.
Among many expleits that are
chronicled of Fred Bainaby, the
exceptionally strong Engl:sh guard
man, it is related that when he was
Times correspondent at the Carlists
headquarters, he captivated the
heart of Don Carlos by throwing a
donkey over the garden wall of a
convent. The animal fell among
the nuns, who naturally conjectured
it to be the evil ne, a surmise
which was for the moment strength
ened by the tremendous braying of
the creature and the rapid vibration
of its ears, which gave its head the
look of a wind-mill. Returning to
England after getting tired of the
hardships or the UavJists headquar
ters, he took up the study ot luis-
i j til r.L
siau and AraDic, uouuuesa wun
some reference to his contemplated
Eastern jour jeyiugs. In the inter
val between his return and his wmi
ter journey to the Oxus he made a
dash into Central Africa to look
after Gordon or Stanley, journey
ing as far is the Sobat ltiver, where
he met the former. It was at this
place that he lifted a hippopotamus
on a wager, exciting the natives to
such a degree that he was immedi

difficulty in convincing his new sub

but Be finally did so, whereupon
they fished out their old monarch,
reinflated his hat, and set him on

across the iicrber JJe3ert, givieg
the amazed Arabs occasional exhi-
bitions oi his strength. At Coros-
ko, in the presence of a great nura-
ber of Sheiks he broke in two the
musket of the oldest and most pow-
erff 1 of those chieftains, which had
been handed him te experiment on;
but instead of admirirg the feat,
me soraia ii.raos pronounced it
black art, and lneistod en payment
fr the ruined weapon. This prop-
osition was finally acceded to, the
captain telhngr down the stipulated
number &f coins, twisting the last
one "ssanaer a3 if it had been a
macaroon. Lie desired to retrain a
broken half of this as a souvenier,

The Arabs thought their viuter
possessed, and seemed joyful at his
departure. His Khivan journey,
just finished, winds up the tale of I
his achievements and brinjz? him
back to the metropolis and calvary
barracks a lull grown social lion of
the smaller sort, who will be heard
of and seen in all the fashionable
saloons of the season, but who by
the next will very likely have shed
his claws and mane and relapsed
into an enormous and prematurely
worn-out sub-officer of tho calvp-y
service, with little achievement to
fall back u-on, except a few daring
and foo-hardv escapades, undertak-
en with no sufficient purpose, and
carried threugh with the force of a
restless and uneasy vanity which
would rather astonish the world
than serve it. This greatly gifted
young man seems te nave overuone i
everything, and it will be a wonder
if he does not learn that he has
wasted his rich patrimony cf
strength and vigor almost before he
has arrived at his full inheritance.

'Mr. Smith, I called to see

'Wh wh what d'you say

ex
cla;raed Smith in some alarm.
'I say that I've come around to
take your life. My name is Gunn.
As soon as I heard you were un

Then Smith got ap and wtnt to
the other side ot the table, ands'd
to himself:
'It's a lunatic who has broken cut
of the asylum. He'll kill uie if 1
hallow or run. I must humor him.'
Then Gunn, fumbling in hia pock
et after his mortality tables, follow
ed Smith around the room and said
to him:
'You can choose your own plan,
you Lnow. It's immaterial to me.
Some like one way and some like
another. It's a matter of taste.
Which one no you prefer V
'I'd rather not die at all,' said
grnith in despair.
'But you've got to die, of course,'
said Gunn. 'Thai's a thing there's
no choice aheut. All I can do is
to make death easy for you; to
make you feel happy as ycu go off.
Now which plain will you take ?'
'Couldn't you postpone it until
to-morrow, so as to give me time to
think ?'
'No, I prefer to take you on the
spot. I might as well, uo it now
as at any other time. Yeu have a
wife and children i
'Yes. And I thiek you ought to
have some consideration for them,
and let me off.
'Well, that's a curious kind of

The Character of Gov. Tilden.
(From ihe Utica Observer.)
I have been intimately acquaint-
ed with Mr. Tilden for nearly forty
years, and though I havo often dif-
fered with him politically, some-
times even lamenting his strong re-
iiance on party agencies, 1 have
never had the slightest reason to
suspect his absolute integrity of
purpose and sincerity of conviction,
In all the relations ot private life
he is purity itself. At the same
time he has always been a public-
spirited citizen, tsking an active
part in whatever concerned the
welfare and progr ss of the comau-
nity in which he lived. His deyo
tion, inueed, to public atiairs began
while he was still a youth, and his
early discussions of intricate quet,-
tions ot rinanc-e attracted the atten-
t.ir.n of maturar minds bv tliftir sin.
gular penetration and judgement.
Professional, he has taken rank
with Van Buren, Brady, O'Conor,
Graham, Jbvarts, ivirkland and oth
er foremost lawyers, and in a pecu-
liar class of cases heavy and com-
- 1 plicated railroad complications he
I. .. . . n
is admitted to De iaciie pnnceps.
His council, when important and
decisive actien was involved, has
been deemed invaluable. In Btill
higher relations, Mr. Tilden seems
to combine mere than any man new
before the public, hard'y expecting
Aiams of Massachusetts, the two
great kinde of aualitv theoretic and
practical which form the tru?
statesman ; a profound understand
ing of tho philosophic grounds of
political opinion, and the sagacious
tact and energy of the man of busi
ness.
This union ef theeretic insight
with Tiractical eanaritv haa hpen
singularly shown in his administra-
tion of the auairs of this state.
Now York ia tho largest common
wealth of the . union, the largest
population, in agricultural products,
in manufacturing enterprise, in
commercial capital in a word, in

tioD, cenfWed to the appointment of
notaries and tl e sijrnij2 of comm's-
siooe, as.5s many of the newer west
ern1 states, but an onerous, intricp e,
and resnons!ble trust.
The go ernor is invested with the
veto, which makes him a part of
the legislative power, while his ex
ecutive connection with the cem-
plicated bisincss of the quarantine
the saltworks, the state prisons and
charities and an immense system
of canals,' imposes upon him the
most rariflrl and iHffimiifa Ann.
Mr. Tilden, in his short tenure of the
pla9e, has evinced a masturlv fitnees
tor all its duties. He has defeatsd
a multitude of ill considered and
improper bills, rectified many er-
roitof administra :on. overthrown
a fraudulent and giga ntic conspira
cy, and reduced the taxation from
over $15,000,000 in 1875 to less
than $8,000,000 in 1S7G, with an
assurance that if tho t hnngos ho has
suggested are followed, the decrease
will be two or three millions more
in 1877 ! A part of this reduction
is due to ihe extinction of the
bounty debt, but the rest to Gover
nor Ti'.dcn's direct efforts and in
fluence. Pakke Godwin.

.Hotol'Life in San Francisco. '
A' story is told of a San Fran

we cannot possibly saddle it on any
one "of them. 'A nan boarding

of the ite jus charged. Sixty dol

'Can't help it,' says the land
lord, 'we can't afford to furnish fuel
and a man to attend "to it for less
than $1 a day.'
'All right,' says the boarder.
'I'm willing to pay you a dollar a
day for fire, but don't want to pay
for any luore than I've had. Now,
out of all the time I've been here
it's impossible that I could have
had a fire more than half a dozen
days in the whole sixty.'
fWell,' say 3 the landlord, 'that's
not our fault; the fuel was there
and a man to attend to it; you
might have used it if you had been
a mind to.'
But the boarder remonstrated
still further: 'Now, if you como
v i and look at my room I think 1
can convince you that there has
never been any fuel there, and what
is still more,' continued he, rising
to the sublimity of tho occasion,
'there is no fireplace in the room,
