scions when he was shot and remained so
tin he died. George Washington was
sane during his last hours, and he spent
them In calmly arranging his affairs. He
told his wife to bring two wills which he
had msle, and to burn one of them. He
then grasped his pulse with one hand and
counted the beats until he died. Wash
ington died of a cold. Polk of the Cholera,
Andrew Jackson of paralysis, and Gen
eral Harrison of cold, pleurisy and cholera
morbus. t i
President Jackson was for thirty-one
years a diseased man. and the latter part
of his life was spent In almost continuous
pain. Kven on his death-bed he was tor
tured by officeseekers. "I am dying,"
said he, "as fast as I can, and they aU
know it; but they keep stv arming about
me in crowds, seeking for office intriguing
for office."-- His death-bed scene was a
most affecting one. A naif an hour be
fore his death bis children and friends
were standing around his bed-side, and
nia adopted sou Andrew had taken his
hand and whispered in his ear :
" Father, how do you feel f . Do you
know mer"
"Know you? " Yes, I should know vou
all if I could see. Bring me my spec
tacles." These were brought and put on him,
and he said : " Where is my (laughter arid
Marian t God will take care of you for
me. I am my God's. I belong to him. I
go but a short time before yon, and I
want to meet you all, white and black, in
heaven."
At this all burst into tears, and the
general said : " What is the matter with
you, my dear children Have I alarmed
you T Oh. don't cry. Be good children,
and we will all meet in heaven."
These were Jackson's last words. A
short time after this he passed peacefully
away. He died a Christian and a Pres
byterian. Thomas Jefferson' was more of a deist
than anything else, and when he died he
said he would be glad to see a preacher
who called " as a good neighbor," thereby
intimating that he did care to see him pro
fessionally. There' was no preacher
present at Washington's death bed and
there is doubt as to his belief. The two
Adamses believed in Unitarian doctrines,
and it is said that John Quincy Adams,
during his last years, never wenteo

gnage 1st Practical Use.
: Some time ago a learned Frenchman be
came very enthusiastic on a subject of
universal language for the human race.
After much thought and theorizing on the
subject he came to the conclusion that the
only language that could be universal at
thepreseut day must be a language of
signs. Being deeply impressed with the
importance of this language to humanity,
he determined to travel from country to
country and teach it in all their colleges
aud universities. . ,
As it happened, the first country he
reached in his travels was Ireland, and the
I rst institution he went to was' the Uni
versity of Dublin:
He called upon the president of the uni
versity, and after some conversation with
him asked him if he had a professor of
signs in the university. Now there was
no professor of signs in the university,
"hut the president not wishing to be behind
t he learned Frenchman, told him they had
me. The Frenchman asked to be intro
duced to him. The president Was taken
aback at this, bnttold him that he could
not see the professor that day, but if he
would call the next day at the same hour
be would introduce him.
After the frenchman bad eone. the
president called his professors together
and tola tnem tne nx ne was in. ana toia
them that one of them must play the part
of professor of signs next day. . They all
(lemurrea ana oojecteu to mm, oeingairaia
that they might be caught by the French
man. As none of them was willing to nlay the
part, they at last decided to train Mike,
the cnoreman, ior it. raise naa losian eye,
and was very sensitive about it, thinking
ttint people were constantly noticing it auu
making allusions to it.
Mike was consulted, and consented to
play the part, providing that the French
man snouia not, reier u nis aetect.
The next day the president and professors
dressed Mike np in a good suit of clothes,
took lijrn to a reciiauon-room, seateu aim
alone on the ' platform, and then retired,
for the Frenchman was to see him alone.
Before they left him they told him what to
do, aud that he must not speak.
He replied, "Sure 1'U not, if he sez
nothing about me oye."
. At the appointed time the Frenchman.
Called, and was uxheretl into the recita-tion-rnoin
of the professor of signs." The
i (resident and professors waited in an ad
uining room snxiotiBly for the result. Jn
a short time the Frenchman came back to
them, apparently much pleased. -;
:"How did you like our professor of
Bigtis ?" inquired the president.
. -'.Very, much indeed. I congratulate
yon on your able ' professor. 1 am more
than ever convinced tliat the language of
signs is to be the universal language.
When I went into the room I held up one
finger, meaning there is one God. He un
derstood me at, once, and held np two
fingers, meaning lather and Son. 1 then.
held up three lingers, meaning there are
three ersons in the Trinity. He replied
bv doubling up nis band, meaning. And
these three are one; I then withdrew. It
la wonderful- I am deligiitea."
After the Frenchman had gone, the
president and professors sent in haste for
Mike, for thoutrh thev were pleased at
having gotten out of the dilemma, they

A CUTE PET.
Habits of the Nevada Chipmunk a.
Developed In Captivity.
The Nevada chipmnnk, differs much
from the striped ground squirrels of the
Eastern States. It is smaller' lacks the
side stripes and constantly carries its toil
curled ver its back. The under side of
the tail is white, and When the little ani
mal is running directly from the observer
about all that is seen is what appears to be
an auimated bunch of cotton. For this
reason the miners call the little squirrels
cotton-tailed chipmunks. The writer has
had one as a pet for oyer five years, and it
is as vigorous und playful as at first.
When first caught it was full grown, and
and may then have been two or three years
old.
Its home is in a roomy cage, from which
a ladder leaus p io a ciaric dox, or nest
house, to which is attached a revolving
wheel. Inn week or two after the squirrel
was placed in this cage it was observed
that its eyes became, dull, its hair turned

K nowing it was a burrowing animal it was
thought a cigar box of soil might prove

"Now," said the traveler, returning the
insect to its cage, where it clung seemingly

J'laciug the two cages in the iuclosure
before mentioned the doors were opened,
while the audience waited with breathless
impatience for the first moves' it came
from one of the insects which was of a
brown hue. With a funereal step it
slowly passed out of the cage, raising each
foot and putting it aowu as u it was
counting the throbs of each muscle in its
withered body. Thehidcousereature was
almost half out when the green legs of its
rival began to wave gently, and soon both
insects were clear ot their cages, wnicn
were then removed from the inclosure.
At drat they did not appear to notice

several moments they- retained the posi

were upon each other, bwirt and power

seconds it was give and" take, the rasping

ment of what the audience called the
second round the green mantis rushed to
the attack, evidently determined to iorce
the fighting, and at a single blow struck
off the flftit joint ot one of its opponent s
claws, whereupon blood was claimed
and allowed. The brown mantis seemed
at first demoralized and retreated, but
soon recovered and delivered several blows.
one of which roiled its adversary over and
over with a force which in two men light

the insect were evidently to knock its op

This time the four saberlike arms became

the human wrestler were displayed on

His grandfather came to Kentucky) poon
after Daniel Boone and his lather pushed
on to Indiana when that territory in turn
was the frontier. Faithful to the instinct
that had kept his progenitors on the front

twenty-one, found Indiana too crowded,
and went still further westward into the
heart of Illinois. At that time he could

volumes to be found In his father!s log
house and the neighboring cabins he
almost knew by heart. It is a significant
fact that among the half a dozen books
that during his youth gave direction to
his sympathies and aspirations, and that
endowed him with his surprising mastery
(it terse, idiomatic English, were the
Bible, Bunyon's " Pilgrim's Progress,"
Weem's " Life of Washington," and the
poems of Robert Burns. v The "Life of
Washington" he borrowed, and having
thrust it one night between the logs of the
cubin, that it might be at hand as soon as
there was light to read by, he awoke to
find it soaked through and through by
rain, naving no money, he offered to
work out the value of the injured volume",
and by pulling corn three days, finally
became its owner.
Lincoln's cognomen of "the rail split
ter" bore witness to his proficiency in all
tasks incumbent on the Western farmer,
but it is less generally known that he was
a crack shot with the rifle, which , before
and during the Black Hawk war was sel
dom out of the Illinois settler's reach, or
that his prowess in the hand-to-hand en
counters by which the young backwoods
men were not seldom called upon to prove
their mettle made his name redoubtable
throughout the country where he lived.
The reputation had its inconveniences
and compelled him on one occasion to
measure his strength against the leader of
" The Clary Grove Boys," who was be
lieved by his partisans to le able
to "lick" any man on .the San
gamon Hiver. We are toM that this
fellow resorted to some foul play, which
rousing Lincoln's ire, the latter put forth
his full st rengtli, and, seizing the hi bnlly
by the throat aud holding him ont at

boy. Tht'ie used tb be a legend current
that Washington could outjums any man

Ifscult Dudley's Attempt to Kill
O'Donovin Rom Kecanse lie
l Dynamiter.
The last New York sensation was the
shooting of the notorious O'DonavaTt Kossa
by the English woman, Yseult Dudley.
The exciting affair, took place Monday ,the
2d inst.. alKMit five o'clock in the after
noon, in the very heart of the business
center. On the Saturday previous the
woman sent a note by a district telegraph
boy to Hossa's office, 12 Chambers street,
asking him to meet her as she w as inter
ested in the Irish cause and desired to as
sist it. Kossa responded and had an inter
view with the woman in the ladies' parlor
of Sweeney's Hotel. Monday he received
another summons in the same manner and
responded as before, without any suspicion
of danger. They met on Chambers street
near Broadway, and the ciuvting was ap
parently cordial. As they turned to walk
towards Broadway Mis. Dudley, dropped
back a few feet, suddenly raised her arm
and tired a revolver at lier companion.
Kossa turned and fell, crying for mercy.
His assailant, however, fired four more
times, emptying the revolver, a self-cock-ingone.
Only one Imll took effect owing
to ner unsteadiness of aim and the wound
was not serious. The would-be murderess
was promptly arrested. Subsequently she
declared that it was her intention to kill
Kossa because his cowardly acts under the
cloak of -patriotism were fatal to innocent
men, women and children. She designedly
met him and made a personel investiga
tion of the nefarious business in which he
was engaged, becoming convinced that he
was a wholesale murderer aud dynamiter
and his object purely mercenary and sejr
fish. Kossa alleges that Yseult Dudley is
the tool of the British government and
was hired to assassinate him, but has thus
far failed to produce any proof. He had &
gresentiment that he would be attacked,
ince the recent London explosions he re
ceived several threatening letters.
What is Known About Its Origin
and Subsequent History. .
The origin of Valentine's " Day is lost in
antiquity, and can now be only speculative
ly fixed. One theory is that it sprang
from the aficien Eoman Festival of the
Lupercaiia. celebrated oa1 February , 15.
When the Christian Church gained power,
an effort was made to abolish the heathen
feast, which by that time had become a
mere expression of gallantry; but; this
proving vain, the date was changed to the
birthday of St. Valentine February 1'
This saint was canonized soon after his
execution by order of the Emperor (Clau
dius, - about 370. He was a Christian
I Bishop, and he- was made the natron of
tne uay, oecaus-; th.-lovuur charltv
l BIS iti-actfr. Another thwu-v in i.hit fha
it f jutioi itr jhot ii its pre
cise date, is as old as the human ;race,
beiug an expression of the vernal impulse
common to all living beings, and which
Tennyson sings in the familiar lines:
In the spring a livelier iris changes on the burn
ished dove,. . 1
In spring the yonns man's fancy' lightly turns
to thoughts of love. .
References to the mating of birds in the
sprinsr, and to the feelings of love which
thrill the breast at the season when nature
wakes from her winter sleep are scattered
though all literature back to the earliest
times. Catwllus. in particular, has a charm
ing lyric on the impulse of spring, which
is curiously like the opening lines of
Chaucer's prologue:

-A- Patent
Closet Seat.
FOR THE
of a country store. Several incidents Il
lustrate in integrity to which, it seerts,
his customers ' could not have been
habituated. One Evening he found his
cash overrun, a little discovery which
we fear sometimes excites ;a cuckle aiid,
after poring over the phenomenon, con
cluded that iu making change for his last
customer, an old woman who had, come
in a little before ; sundown, lie hadi given
her too iittle. Although the sum involved
w as only a few eents, he forthwith took it
too her house. At another time he found
ou the scales a weight which he remeir,-
bered using just before closing the store
Oil the previous niiiht, hut which was
linhter than the one he meant to use.
Evidently he must have given the pur
chaser a few ounces of tea less than was
paid for, and he immediately sent the
quantity to moke up the 'deficiency. He
carrieu tne same scrupulous probity into
his management of a small postotfire of
which he had charge for a short period in
lb34, and his method of dealing with un-
caiied-for remnant of the funds on deposit
may interest, tne oince-iioiaers ot a later
time. It seems that when the station was
discontinued the small sum of SIS remain
ing iu his hands yns o ei looked, and not
demanded until some years after Lincoln
had removed to Springlield to attempt the ,
practice of the law,. During thofe years'
he had been, so poor that lie had often been
compelled lo borrow a pittance from
friends to pay tne Dare necessaries of life.
When, therefore, an airentof theix slollice
called at one 'Dr.: Henry's, in whose oftico
Lincoln had a desk, Henry, ltelievinK (so
he told the biographer) that Lincoln could
have no money on had, wherewith to
meet the draft.i was about to call him
aside and advance the sum requisite, when
Lincoln, asking the agent to be seated a
moment, wuutovjcr to his boarding house
and brought back an old stocking with a
quuntity of copper and silver coin tied up
in it, manifestly the identical pieces in
which the country (n-ople had paid their
postage, llie aent found in the stocking
tne exoci. amount uue me uejiaj uaieni. to a
cent. . ;
Of his tenderness of heart some touching
E roofs are cited in this biography. While
.inculii was serving as a Captain in the
Black Hawk war an old ami half-starving
Indian strayed into the camp ot his com
pany, allot wnose memoers were exaspe
rated oy tne oaroarmes laieiy perpetrated
on tne settlers, and some oi. wuom, iiko
Lincoln himself, had lost near relatives at
the hands of the savages. : In a frenzy of
blind rage the soldiers refused to recognize
the lndiuu's "safe conduct,';' and had cock
ed their muskets, determined to despatch
him, when Lincoln rushed forw aid, knock
ed up the pieces, and declared the roan
should not lie killed. But the mob's passions
were aflamet and for some niomenls it
seemed likely that Lincoln and his protege
would be both shot down. After a pause,
tbe militia low ered their weapons and
sullenly turned away. " 1 never," said an
eyewitness, in all iny life saw Lincoln so
roused before." Mr. Arnold recalls another
incident, on its' face more trivial, but
which the thoughtful reader is not likely
to overlook. In the early days oi his prac-.
tice at the spnngneia oar Lincoln was
coming home from a neighboring county
seat, with a party of lawyers, riding two
by two along a country lane. '' Where is
Lincoln r" was the iuquiry. "Oh," replied
his comrade, " when I saw him last lie had
caught two young birds, which the wind
had blown out of their nest, and lie was
hunting up the nest to put them biick in
it." In a short time I Jncoln rode, up, hav
ing found the nest and replaced its iu
mates. It was while Lincoln lived at New Salem
that he managed to buy a second-hand copy
of Blackstone's Commentaries and began to
study law. Other books, however, he had
none, nor would he have had any means
of getting ony, had not an . old friend at
Springfield, offered him the use of his
collection. In order to exchange one book
for another, however, he had to walk
from New Salem to Springtield, a distance
of fourteen miles, and, it is said, would
often master thirty 'or forty pages of the
new volume on his way home. He was
often seen seated against the trunk of a
tree, or lying on the grass under iu shade,
poring over liis books, and changing his
riition as the sun advanced so as to keep
the shadow. 1 . ,
There is a tradition, which apparently
dates back to 1631. that on tbe visit which
he paid in that year to New Orleans, as a
deck hand on a flat boat, Lincoln and his
rnmniuiinn viuitpd nn old fortune teller, a
Vondon npsrressj The lesrend has it that
during thelnterview the prophetess be
came intensely excited, and, poring over
1 jncoln's liand, cried out : " This man here
will bi President, and tell all us colored
folks go free." It seems to be certain that
this visit model Lincoln an anti-slavery
man. "He sawv" we read, "a slave, a
beautiful mulatto Eirl, sold at auction;
she was felt over, pinched, trotted around
i to show the bidders that said article was

Her father was a cavalry omcer and ner

O'DONOVAN ROSSA.
His right name is Jeremiah O'Donovan
and he was lrn in Ross Carberry, County
Cork, in 1831. As a boy he.attended the
national school at Skibbereen. He served
an apprenticeship to a grocer and went
into business for himself, but all his com
mercial ventures failed. In 1856 he joined
the IriBh Revolutionary Society and soon
became a leader. In 1858 he and others
were arrested as Fenians. He was re
leased and in 1862 came to America. Failing
in the liquor business in New York he re
turned to Ireland and,became identified
with a Dublin Fenian organ, the Irish
People. In 1865 the paper was seized and
Rossaand the editors jailed. He defended
himself and though sentenced to imprison
ment for life was liberated in ;187(, tbe
result of the amnesty 'meetings. 1 He came
to America in 1871 and received a rece)
tion. He ran for Senator and was de
feated. He engaged in various business
without success until four years ago when,
during the inception of thedy namii e move
ment, he started the United IrUliman.
His life as an editor is well known and
the apostle of dynamite has achieved wide
notoriety. The last important event at
his office was the stabbing of! Captain
Phelau. Rot sa has been married three
times and has had nine children. He is a
much milder looking and acting man than
is generally supposed. His home life has
been pleasant and he is .an agreeable
talker. i

The ceremonies of what is now- St.
Valentine's day, in this view, becomes the
expression of a great human passion.
coexistent with the race. Valentine was
made its patrou, and its date was fixed by
his birthday, simply because his name is
equivalent to galatin, French for "eallant.'
This derivation, is quite re5isonable,ifor a
like change is found in "valiant"! and
"callant." both from the lAtin valens.
The theory of t he origin from the Luperual
has in its favor, however, the fact that it
became a custom for Roman lads' and
maidens to write their names upon tablets
which were drawn by lot from a box;, and
the couples thus thrown together iwere
supposed to be devoted to each otherjfor a
certain period. A like ceremony, according
to Misson. a learned traveler of the fearly
part of the last century,' had been an
ancient custom among the young folks of
England and Scotland, on the eve of St.
Valentine's, day. He says: 'An equal
number of maidens and bachelors gejt to
gether; each writes their true or pome
feiErned name unon separate unlets, which'
thev roll up and draw by way of lot$, the
maids takinu the young men's billet and
the young men the maids'; so tnat eacn or
the young men lights upon a girl that he
calls his valentine, and each of the 'girls
upon a young man whom she calls hers.
By this means each has two valentines, but
tlie man sticks faster to the Valentine that
has fallen to him than to the vaientiue to
whom he has fallen. Fortune having
thus divided the company into so many
couples, the Valentines give balls, and
treats to their mistresses, wear their
billets several davs npon their bosoms or
sleevesfand this lit lie snort often ends in
love." . I '
'The custom of sending valentines is ns
TmiWp..tmi&i'- wriv.niuuw timmmwi
reef and" single were alike liable to be
chosen as a valentine, and that a present
was invariably and necessarily given to
the choosing party. Sam Pcpys id his
diary ab;mt that time wrote : " This morn
ing came up to mv wife's bedside (I being
up dressing myself ) little Will Mercer to
be her valentine, and brought her name
written upoti blue paper in gold letters,
done by himself, very pretjty, and we were
pleased with it. But I am also this year
my wife's valentine, and it will cost me
3; but that I must have laid out if we
had not been valentines." Two days later
he adds: " I Hud that Mrs. Pierre's little
girl is my valentine, she having drawri me,
Which I was not sorry for, it. easing me of
something more than I must, havegivn to
others.. But here 1 do first observe the
fashion of drawing mottoes a. wdl as
names, so that Fierce, who drew my Wife,
did also draw a motto, and this girl drew
another for me. What mine was I forgot,
but my wife's, was ' most court eousf and
most fair.' which as it may be used as an
-anagram upon each name might liejvery
pretty." Noticing soon afterward the
jewels ofhe celebrated Miss M iiaiT.jwiio
became duchess -of Richmond, lie says:
" The duke of York being once her valen
tine did give her a jewel of about i'SOOi and
my Lord Mandeville, her valentine this
year, a ring of about 800 This evening
my wife did, with great pleasure, show me
her stock of iewels. increased bv the irinar
she hath made lately as my valentine's,
gift this year a Turkey stone set with'.
diamonds." ,,
It is evident that there is a considerable
change in the observance of Valentine's
day since the playful Pepys lived. Iu that
time preseiitsswere undoubtedly given in
order to relieve the obligat ion under which
the beiug drawn as valentines" had placed
the donors. Notwithstanding the practice
of relieving, there seems to nave ben a
disposition to believe that the person drawn
as a valentine had considerable Likelihood
of becoming the associate of the party in
wedlock. At least it may be supifpseU
that this hiea would be gladly and easily
arrived at where the party so drawn jwas
at all eligible from oilier considerations.
There was, it appears, a prevalent notion
among the common English people that
this was the day (February 14) on which
-the birds selected their mates. They
seemed to have imagined that an influence
was inherent in the day which rendered iu
some degree binding the lot or chance by
which any youth or maid was now led to
fix his attention on a person of the op
posite sex. It was supposed, for instance,
that the first unmarried person of j the
other sex whom one melon St. Valentine's
morning in walking abroad was a destined
Wile or a destined unsound.
Thus Gay makes a rural dame say:
