An I.K i.lca t W h ich Ilrtppenetl D u rin g Wtir , T im es, On the day after we tunneled put Of Ihe confederate stockade at Salisbury, N. ,C., and while each man had taken hip own direction, I came upon a color­ ed man in the woods' skirting a field, lie was digging roots to make himself a tonic, and I broke through the brush and came upon him so suddenly that there was no time to dodge. He was kneeling down, with a parcel of 1 roots beside l)im, and he looked at me a min­ ute andlhen asked: • _ •‘When did .you all git out of dat prison?’’ . . “Yesterday," l replied, seeing that he had at once discovered my identity. ■‘An’ what* yo’ all gwine to now?” “I’m going to try and-get'to the Yan­ kee lines.” 11c began to grin, then he broke into a chuckle. Then the chuckle became a laugh and he rolled on the ground, thought him demented and was about to move away when he sat up andsaid: “I jess laffed and couldn’t help it.” “I don’t see anything very funny about it.” “But yo’ hain’t an’ ole nigger, yo’ see? Hit’s powerful funny an’ Izo got to laff some ino’.” He indulged in another fit of laugh­ ing and rolling, and when ho had recov­ ered from it he took a seat on a log and said: “ ’Bout fo! months ago, do missus she calls me up one day an* looks at me a long time an’ den says: “Moses; T has a dream las’ nite.

TH E DEAD ALIVE. A Soldier Hurled i t Shiloh Still Amoiif th e I.l*lng. ’ At the battle of Shiloh, fought Sun­ day, April 6, 1888, Capt Gilbert J. George, now of SL Louis, was orderly sergeant of Company D, Fortieth Illi­ nois Volunteers, of ’ the Union forces. Tuesday night, April 8, 1888, Orderly Sergeant George, in command of a bur­ ial detail of twelve privates of his com­ pany, buried in the trenches-dug on the battle-field William Newby, also a pri­ vate soldier of Company D, Fortieth Il­ linois Volunteers. Nine men of that ^ company had been killed on the bloody field of Shiloh, and Newby’s body was the third on the list to be wrapped in blankets and be laid in a soldier's sepulchre, the long and ghastly trench, lie was shot through the head, a mus­ ket ball having crashed into his brain on the left side, just above an I a little in ?1 k rear of the left ear­ On a recent Sunday Capt. George, who became a lieutenant at Shiloh, left St. Lorn'*, mid going to a farmhouse near Mill Shoals, White county, 111., saw living the William Xowcy whom he had buried on the battle-field twen- .nine years ago and positively identified him as Newby, the, “dead come to life.” For twenty-nine years the old soldier, whose death and burial are duly re­ corded in tiio war department archives at S\ ashington, lias been drifting froth poorhouse to poorhquse and from in­ sane asylum to insane asylum.a strange and piteous wreck. He is now safe with his wife and'children on the very farm from which he enlistyd in 18.01 at his country’s call to nnns. He remem­ bers the futon and some of his associ­ ates, but has forgotten Ids wife, forgot­ ten the fact of his marriage, forgotten his children. IBs wife, hurrying from a son’s home in Texas, arrived at U 10 farmhouse the other djiy. She saw her dead husband come back to life again, butho loolred her in the face and said Calmly: “I. was never married, I have no wife. I have no ’children. But- J am William Newby, and I was raised on this farm. Stranger still, the William Newby who enlisted in Company D, Fortieth Illinois, in August, 180i, was a fair­ haired and blue-eyed man, while the William Newby who returns from the grave in 1891 is a man with black eyes and with black hair, streaked heavily with gray. Yet, by certain marks on his person and by the, most searching tests to which he has been put, the man is iden­ tified as the same William Newby. Seven of his former comrades of Com­ pany I), all of whom were in the liury- PERSONAL AND IMPERSONAL. ing detail that placed his body in the trench, swear that lie is the man they knew and buried. His own mother swears that lie.’ is her son, William Newby. Eighteen months ago a vagrant was admitted to the White county poor- house. /He gave his name as William Newby, stated that he had belonged to ■Company I), Fortieth Illinois, during the war, and that he had enlisted from that county. An official of the poor- house spoke of the matter to one of the Newby family, .who ace well known in theycounty, and the son of the man who had “died" at Shiloh, visited the insti- tutibn,' The pauper denied that he had ever been married. Members o f. the family, visited him, and from scars on his person and the- manner in which he received theni became convinced that he was the missing man. As a final test his mother asked that he be taken to his father's grave. The old vagrant was led to the place indicated, his mother and three brothers standing be­ side him. . “This >is my'father’s grave,” he an­ nounced to them quietly. -“ I built that vault myself." ■And he told of where he, had quarried the sandstone, and even gave tho names of l the two oxen that had hauled the stone to the grave lie was tiled taken to his old home and is ti >Wliving there, although still main­ taining that he is not married. . A num­ ber of survivors of Company I) have called upon him, and alt identified him as their former conirado-at-arms. Capt. George Was among the last of his for­ mer comrades to see him. William Newby did not remember his old com­ rade, but, strange to say,, talked of the “orderly sargeant pf Company D” as tHough that officer were not face to face with him. On the sido of hi's head, just where William Newby was shot at Shiloh, Capt. George saw the place where the awful wound had been trephined. Tho man had a faint recollection of what happened at Shiloh. lie claims to have been taken from the field by the con­ federates and sent to Andersonviilo prison, where ho lay for months, and that afterward he had spent most of the years at various poor-houses, at one time, however, having been confined in an insane asylum.—Chicago Times. HE WASNF t ” m 1 SSED. A Lieutenant Whose Head Swelled Till I t Ha rated. He died. There was a military fan end but no mourners among' his com­ pany. Now a military funeral without some one of tho deceased's comrades feeling had enough to be called a mourner when a lieutenant dies is sure­ ly an odd occurrence, I remember him as a recruit in the squad that was regularly detailed to go off in one corner with some man of chevrons whose business it was to in­ stil into the heads of recruits a knowl­ edge of things military. Then he was quiet, so quiet in fact that the boys named him “stick" for short, bnt that was changed when he became older in the service and he was styled “Fresh.** Then came a timo when a corporal was needed and “Fresh]’ was the lucky dog that Caught the warrant, hut oh, his head, Along with chevrons came an order for a new cap, and that war­ rant covered a multitude of sins, The boya stood it for “Cap" did it for the best, and, after alt, wjiat's the use any­ way, for a kick does not go in the army. After a time ho wore three bars in­ stead of two and a-still larger cap Ono day there came the astonishing nows that the “Colonel,” as,he was now called, bad received one of those articles so rarely secured by men in the ranks-a lieutenant's commission—and then he died, . “Of what,” dill yon ask? “Of‘» swelled head, .

XVhut Many of Them Are Doing iu This Itilsy World of Ours. A notv departure of college women is in the raising of fruits, largo atul small, and in flower culture. •One of New York’s successful .teachers lias in­ vested the capital accumulated by teaching in a flower firm in the south 6f. France. A professional woman writes from southern 'California: “I have a sniall tract of six acres of or­ chard anti garden, where I have filled in all my spare time for the past six­ teen years most agreeably and profit­ ably. Lain satisfied that women _can earn a .comfortable living; with a few acres of land, and the cultivation of t.he inbid and development of the body which an intelligent person can derive from such vocation Will-.be a double compensation." " / Another New York teacher has in­ vested her savings in, real estate, and at its sale is jtp put the money in a vio­ let farm uear the city. - An owner.of a ’-'twenty-acre orange farm in the smith claims for her occu­ pation that it is not only remunerative, but in all its tendencies highly refining and preferable to any indoor employ- went. Liicy Salmon, of Vassa.r college, is .collecting statistics on the great prob­ lem of domestic .service, in the hope that some w-av out ot the diflieuffy may be found. She urges' that domestic la­ bor, while having features peculiar to itself, is amenable to tlie law’s'which control other forms' of industry, and that in the laws which underlie it a trained mind is essential. And she argues wisely that the main question for women to study is how homes may be retained without the friction nnd Waste of material and nerve force that atteiuls housekeeping at the pres- ' #nt time, ’ ’ , • . , Emina.I\ Ewing, professor of do­ mestic economy in the Iowa Agricul­ tural college, lias established a school of domestic economy, Similar id scope and character to the other schools com­ posing tho college. . Mrs. Ewing is the dean of this school, where the course of study is based'upon the assumption that a pleasant homo is'an essential clement of broad culture and one of the surest safeguards of morality and virtue. , In Chicago a college wjomaii and a wife has devoted her time to the study of sanitary science and has built for her family a model home, perfect in every sanitary detail. Among unusual professions taken up by college women is that of civil engin­ eering, adopted by Grace Hubbard, a graduate of Iowa college, employed by tho United States government survey in Montana in the making of maps, A woman graduate of the University of Fennsylvania has lucrative employ­ ment as the assaycr of metals in a large watch factory. Several of the graduates of the Uni­ versity of California are engaged in fruit raising, and Kansas includos ranch owners among her alumni. One of Vassar's graduates is a print­ er, one a graduate in mercantile busi­ ness, and one conducts a chemical laboratory in the Institution, of which she is the only woman instructor. A dentist, a sanitary expert and several librarians are also included among the professionals outside of teaching, which is, as it ever has been, a favorite occu­ pation for women and one which meets With least resistance. Besides this, many graduates are pursuing scien­ tific or professional studies with their husbands, or assisting the husbands in their Work, as only zealous aad capable helpmeets may assist One college woman in New York, wife of a busy physician, does all of her husband's reading for him, both of current literature and'medical publications. With the trained intelli­ gence peculiar to tho thoroughly edu­ cated woman, she grasps the salient points of the articles, and in few words gives them to him at dinner or In the afternoon drive. Many college women enter into most intelligent partnership with their husbands; One of the post­ graduate students at Barnatd has, with her husband, opened a school where she teaches during the morning hours, devoting tlie afternoons to the Barnard Vtoturcx. A university woman on one of the Brooklyn papers has entered into a unique co-partnership with her hus­ band. He is a salaried man, and at her request puts the entire amount of his , salary into the bank in her name, while she supports the family, consisting of two .small children, a maid, her hus­ band nnd hcr.-ielf, with her pen, besides attendin'* tosher household und doing much of her sewing • Of special .value is tho college 'train-- ing to mothers’ of'-children in the city school^, for unless she. is capable of helping the children with their work, a tutor is *an essential and expensive luxury. Prejudice against the college train­ ing of women is breaking down, and ■. .though fathers are. still more inclined / to .educate their sons than their daugh­ ters; a uian of broad culture said re­ cently: ■ “If I haven’t^nough money to educate both .my sons and daughters I shall send the girls to college, because they need it more 'than the boya Not that'they are less bright than their brothers, for I tliinlc intellectually they are more clever, but because)tho world demands greater skill and better prep­ aration in [Ugirl than iu a boy. The girl is more sharply, criticised, meets with greater obstacles, and is treated with.less confidence in her ability than a boy. consequently she needs the best start. Besides, physically,' she is at a disadvantage and needs the discipline of the college training to enable her to work with less expenditure of 'nervous force than the untrained woman knows how to work."—-Inter Ocoan.

Mrs. Brunot, of Pittsburgh, is a lady whose name is closely associated with tho Woman’s Christian association of that city, a brief history of which also embodies the story of her early labors. Its real inception was in the Temporary Home for Destitute Women..which was opened at 45 Chatham street in April, 1800. Tts officers, all of whom wer< distinctly charitable women, were: Mrs. Brunot, president: Mrs. W. •A.

Mrs. Her­ ron and Miss Holmes; for Allegheny, Mrs Poindexter. , This home was sub­ sequently moved to 939 Penn avenue, where it remained till recently it was : sold. It will be reopened across tlie street from its late location. At the first annual board meeting reports- showed the good ttfe home had done, and the* ladies got to discussing its future possibilities with Evangelist Moody, vvho was present. The result of that chat was the organization of tho Woineiv's;T'hri.,tian association, with the sa,rnc Officers as the home board. They established thejr headquarters at Wilkinsburg. when Mr. Kelly*—who, it was said, never could deny a charitable woman, and actually impoverished him­ self by llis generosity—had; given Mrs. Brunot five acres of land for the pur­ pose Here they built a reformatory for girls'and called It the Sheltering Arms. It proved inconvenient for man­ agerial visits and, alter a vexatious law-suit, they sold it to the n ew board ol the Home for Aged Men and bought a comfortable old bouse on Locust street, named it the Christian Home for Women, and within a month found the work prospering, until ndw it is .really their most successful enterprise. They subsequently attached a hospital to i t Of the thirty members of this original board there are but six ladies left— Mrs, Brunot, Mrs. Thomas Mellon,Mrs. Samuel McKee, Miss Kate Holmes.
