Years ago, when the California theatre was in its most properons days under the man. agement of Barrett and MoCullough, and when Mr. Wason was colonel of the 3d reg iment, the regiment gave General Sheridan a reception at the theatre. "Little Phil" was standing behind the wings taking a quiet peep at the audience. Suddenly he pointed at Musioan Blyth and aski d the colonel : Isn't that Blyth ?" Ou being answered that that was the man. General Sheridan said ; "Ask him to come op here on the stage." "Hello. Blyth ! exclaimed the general. almost wringing the musician's hand off his wrist. 'Tlp8 man saved, my, life, gentle- men." " 4 'He then told the story of their old-tim- e friendship. When oheridan was a young cavalry officer on the border Blyth was a private in his troop. Uae day the troop had a spirited haqd4o-ban- d fight with the Indians. Sheridan, as usual, was , in the thickest, and Just as he was swishing his. sabre over the head of a red devil - who. had shot at him with a revolver, another Indian las soed the general around the neck. in anotner moment ne wouia nave Deen pulled off his horse and trampled to death under the horses had not Blyth promptly cat the Jusso with his sabre, Sheridan, who by thia time - had liia ire i horoughly aroused, pursued t the Indian who had thrown the lariaV and almost de-- oapititted bimwith a stroke of his sabre, .

In testimony whereof witness my hand and sell of office this STtb day of July, 1868. - US, J. U. ABKAHAHB, Deputy and Acting Comptroller of the Currency. is the oompulsory three years military ser- vice of every fairly able-bodie- d young maa ; the standing army is a standing grievanoe on the continent. This compul- sory servioe is one of the most obvious and, egregious follies, idiotically rather tbanehildiably short-sighte- d and impolitic ; and marriage being atriotly forbidden to the common soldier daring servioe, there are some of the very strongest incitements for this class, the hope and sinew of Ger- many, to seek their fortune elsewhere, as soon as the age of service approaches, be- tween 20 and 25 years of age. Their pa- rents cannot blame them, but, approve of tneir making good use of these three of the best and most important years of their lives, instead of idling and lounging about garrison towns, contracting evil habits for life, besides keeping alive the spirit of war and, private feud, and besides immensely increasing tne expenses ox government, to be wrong out of the peasantry who are not of military age. In Bavaria the peas, ant's oottage has been characterized as a pig-st- y; in Nassau, as little better than Indian wigwams, though the farmers of Nassau are superior in their occupation ; and often enclosing the oottage is the cow-yar- d ; the kitchen opens on the stable, and is quite as datk. Ia the mechanical trades another three years is virtually wasted in joarneymanahip ; for the fruits of their workmanship will be found of one pattern over the whole eastern half of Europe, and westward to the Rhine ; while outside of Germany they would loss the aid of their tradea-guii- d ; as It is, Journeymen some- times oome to begging. Every trade must follow the old way; One reason for the large number of musioiana there is that there ia in this profession a ohanoe to rise, and the abaenoe of rivalry and competition gives the artisan the necessary time for practice. The lower classes regard Ameri can ideas and this oonotry with favor, the higher classes with the reverse. Here the peaaant woman ia not obliged to perform the grosser .out-do- or occupations, such as are common there, of loading the cart, driving oxen, working as hod-carrier- s, drawing haod-milk-oart- s, partly because the men are compelled, either by law or ooatom, to waste so much time. The dif- ference between Oatholio and Protestant in most of Germany is perhaps less than anywhere else ; both churches are very easy-goin- g ; and members are not un- churched by a certain amount of social driuking, card-playin- g or theater-going- , even if clergymen. If we observe, for the sake of learning, whioh piovinoea furnish the best class of immigrants and most easily assimilated and Americanized, we oan scarcely fail to choose the North-wee- t German, the houses and ways of living being in advance of those of South' Germany. To specify northern provinces, Sdhieswig, Holstein. Westphalia, Oldenburg, Friealand, against the southern provinces, Bavaria, fleese, Saxony, Silesia. The north German farm- er indeed may be able to teach as some improved methods of agriculture, if we oan get him. here ; for there, as elsewhere, the rnost comfortable class do not so rosi- - iy emigrate. .Yet not all the habits of the rest of Uermany are so fixed and constitu- tional that their assimilation is hopeless ; in the second generation, at least, they may become Americans. The work is one of the moat important in our times, from the vastness and preponderance of German emigration. Another nationality whioh is entering the north-we- st we oan doubtless assimilate more easily as being already like the original settlers of New England and the north generally, the Norse, in the form of Danes, Swedes, Norwegians and Icelanders. The latter people are now compelled by calamities prodaoed by Na- ture to leave their beloved oountry to es- cape famine ; and the government whioh facilitates the settlement of this interest- ing, intelligent, and moral people is fol- lowing the dictates of a wise policy ; and now ia the time to do this for our own present and future Interest. It is one of the Teutonic nations which is to predomi- nate in this oountry. Shall it be, as in the founding, so in the building up the United States the North-Teutoni- c principle of freedom by constitution and laws, whioh shall prevail ? The strength and hope of any oountry lies ia the charaoter of its peo- ple. J. N. ENO. COOL AS A CUCUMBER. John Warner sat by his telegraphio ta- ble, a ' trifle pale, perhaps, but seemingly cool and in no way disturbed by the ex- traordinary situation, says The Detroit Free Press. The stranger, who wore a wide brimmed hat, and waa dressed in the rough costume of a frontiersman, leaned over the oounter, his right elbow resting on it, whioh enabled him to hold the heavy six-shoot- er , without a tremble. The six-shoot- er "oovered" Warner. The following waa the conversation that ensued : "What time does the night - express pass?" "She's due ia about half aa hoar, bat she is over an hour late." "Yes ; besides she doesn't stop here. You'll have to go to Bloornyille if you want to tske the express." "Bat if yoa telegraphed to Bloomville for her to stop here, she'd stop, wouldn't she?" "No, she wouldn't" "Hasn't she ever stopped here ?'' "Once or twice." "What made her stop?" "Orders from the train dispatcher." ' "Where does he live ?" "Center City." "Well, then, the messages from Center City to Bloomville must pass through this offioe, mustn't they ?" "Of oouree." "All right. Then you ooold send a message from here that the Bloomville folks .wouldn't know bat what it oome from Center City, couldn't you ?" "I oould, but I woulda't1 Not if I asked yoa? Well, young man, IH be plain with you. If von don t send just what I tell yoa to, 111 send a oouple of bullets thro' yoa. We've torn np the track just around the bend, so the trainll stop anyhow, and there will be an eternal smash. Now we don't want to bother anybody. We just want a oertain package that a in the ex-pre- ss car. . We know its on this train. We expect to have, to kill the expressmen, for there will likely be an extra guard man to guard that package.' . Its valuable, it is. , If yoa . don't .stop that train, yoa will perhaps kill 00 people and get ahot yourself. If yon do, the folks in the sleep, log car will never know anything is out of the way, and we will have the cash with- out any bother. Savey?" "I understand.

Daring the famine of 1709, 35,000 availed themselves of Queen Anne's offer of free passage to America, and from that time the stream haa been continuous, varying rather with the comprehension of oppression than with the severity of it. ' For a whole oentury after the English queen's aid was given the German peasant was in the condition of a serf.

Their posses sions are loaded with taxes, however, and they have no voioe in the government, by which their freedom of motion and of speech is confined ; not even in trifling lo- cal affairs.

I'm run- ning this machine, and don't yoa forget that If yoa don't like it, shoot and be hanged to yoa, and then yoa can do your own telegraphing." "That's the way to talk," cried the dos-perad- o, with admiration. "That's busi- ness. Darned if ever I heard a man talk like that with a gun pulled on him. You go right ahead, and if yoa do this thing square we'll whack np ou the swag. Its rather tiresome standing here so long, so I'll just take this chair inside. I won't interfere." "All right," said the operator ; "make yourself at home." "Klio-- a lick, klic k, klic-a-lio- k, klic went the instrument rapidly. "What's that?" said the desperado, for-getti- hia vow of of a moment before. ' "It seems to be all the same thing." "It is. I am calling the office at Bloom- ville." "Klick-a-lic- k, klio-a-lic- k, kick-a-lic- k chuck." "There, I've got 'em. Now don't in- terrupt me. I'll tell yoa what is said when I'm through." The outlaw leaned forward with a puz- zled expression, and doubtless wished ho knew as much about telegraphing as ho did about shooting. "Is Stevens there ?" asked the instru- ment at Bloomville. "Tell him Warner wants him." There was a pause, and then the instru- ment at the lonely way station answered. Warner rapidly rattled out the following message : "This shanty is in the possession of a villain who has a pistol pointed at mo while I work. I expect it is the Zama county gang that is around the place. They are going to rob the express. I'm supposed to be telegraphing orders for it to stop here. Now, can't yoa make up a special there and get the ahoriu" and a strong posse to oome down and gather in the gang ?" "I'll do it Theie's a freight engine here now, and I'll put the boys iu some box cars." "No, don't do that Make up a train of passengers. Put a Pullman on behind if you have it, and make it look as like an express train as you can. Then send her down on the time of the express, and hold the Na 9 there till they get back." "Good idea. Now what are yoa going to do? They'll shoot you." YGan yoa make a connection with t)o town arc. light, and get them to put their full current on ? I'll oohnect it in some way with the fellow hore, and he'll never know what struok him," "We haven't time for that We would have to go down to the dynamo offioe and get them to turn off all the city lights and then make connections. It would take too long, and it would burn out every switch- board on the circuit. Bat I can give you all the oell currents we have here, and that will paralyze any rough from Zama, perhaps kill him. Anyhow, you oould get his gun before he recovered. When you're ready just call the offioe. Ground your current, and I'll send it along on the big wire." "Seems to take a lot of telegraphing to stop a train," said the desperado, uneasily. "It does. Yoa see the train is behind time, and they don't want to stop her. I told them there was a special that would pass her here. They want to know all the particulars. Now ill have to move about a bit I must cut off the wire to Center City. If I don't they may telegraph to the dispatcher's offioe about that special, and then it would be all up with us. ' "That's all right ; go ahead." "Well, don't let that revolver go off." "It never goes off till I tell it to, and then its sure death. As long as yoa act square it won't go off." The telegrapher went to a drawer and took out a piece of. wire and to one end ed a pair of scissors. The other end he oonneted with the big wire from Bloom- ville. He fussed around the switchboard and then took a pail of water and said : "Look out for your feet. , I must damp down the floor, so that there will be no dnst to interfere with the instruments." "Water won't hurt anything outside of me," aaid the man ; "I hate to try it hi-ai- de, though." Having wet the floor, the operator sat down to his table again. "Klick-a-lick- " went the instrument Next instant there was a blinding flash of greenish light in the room. The man started to his feet "Thunder," he cried, "what's that ?" "Yoa struck it the first time. Thunder somewheres. I'm afraid it will interfere with us. But I can fix it Hand mo that screwdriver, quiok.'.' ' The screwdriver was handed, but all tho time the pistol oovered him." The visitor waa not a man to be taken off. his' guard. Warner worked with the screwdriver a mo- ment and then said, sharply : "Gimme them scissors. Hairy up.'' The outlaw reaohed for the scissors, and, the next instant, with a yell, he sprang toward the ceiling, and foil in a hoap on the floor. "Throw np your hands, you villain," cried Warner, pointing hia own pistol at him. The whole, gang were indoood to return to Bloomville with the sheriff shortly after. The population of Btafford la about 5,000, and we would aay at least one-ha-lf are troub- led with some affection of the throat and lungs, as those complaints are, according to statistics, more numerous than others. We would advise all our readers not to neglect the opportunity to call on their druggist and get a bottle of Kemp's Balsam for the Throat and Longs. Trial size free. Large bottles 60o and $1.09.

The postmaster, Winchester, Mass., says t I am personally acquainted with Mr. and Mrs. Carle ton, and was astonished at the remarka- ble effects of your Sulphur Bitters in curing their son, and Ita large sale is undoubtedly due to the fact that it is an honest medicine. I know of many others who have been cured by its use, and I do not think too much can be said in its praise. Yours truly, Omo. P. brows, P. at.
