No DSblx Allowed

The Board Of Supervisors at their
session last week. audited no bills.
Various parties handed them in, but
they must now wait for their pay until
the June session Of the Board. Their
pretended excuse was that there was
not sufficient money in the Treasury to
pay all the claims. Outsiders say, that
they know from expressions made ty
different members Of the Board. that
the real cause Of the bills not being au.
ditcd, vas, that they did no, wish to
remair in session long enough to do it.
BIZ, desired to 60 lone and attend 10
their own private business. We did
not "hang around" TIE Board and
hence arr unable to say whether the
last is correct or not, Tut We do know
and 80 did the Board, that every b,ll
which was presented to them, and
should have on allowed, would have
been paid by the Treasurer long before
their next seesiOn.
The Board may plead Ma. it was an
ezra session, and had it not hsen held
claimants would have been obliged "a
wait f,r their pay until their June SEES

wait now. THIS IL not Justiti.ble plea

INCIDENTS OF THE WAR.-During the Sc
we're bombardment of Atlanta, Lieutenant
of one Of the Alabama regiments was survey
ing the lines, accompanied by two privates.
Suddenly the well known cry of "mind the
SHELF is heard, but rather too late and as the
shell struck the parapet, the Lieutenant and
his two men jumped in one of the rifle pits on
the other side of the banquette But they had
hardly reached this place of fancied security
when another cry is heard: Lieutenant, mind
the shell-as the she'll bounds from the par
spet into the very pit where our three men
are squatting At that moment one of the pri-
Yates, who was over his Lieutenant, seeing the
death-dealing missile reaching its explosive
point, extended his arms over his officer, and
murmured: Lieutenant we are gone, but
may save you" These were his last words
The she'll burst. One Of the prvates had a
leg shattered, and the Lieutenant held in his
arms the mutilated body of the other, whose
death had saved his life .4. ..a
At the same siege, one of the points had be-
come so hotly asSailed by the Union shells that
for moment it was thought the gallant squad
of the 9th Washington Artillery that held that
point would have to fall back, when SER
geant, watching one of the thick falling shells,
ran to it and kicked it into ditch, where it
exploded without injury. Then, coolly draw
ing cigar; he went to the still burning fuse
and lit it.
That post never was abandoned Mobile
Times.

Books IN THE OLDEN TIME.-Before the
art of printing, books were so scarce that am
bassadors We're sent ftom France to Rome to
beg one copy of Cicero's works, and another of
Quintillian's, because a'complete copy of these
books were not to be found in all France AL
bert Abbot, of Gemblous, with incredible la
Der and expense, collected a library of $50
volumes; and this was considered a wonder
indeed. In 1894 the library of the Bishop OF
Winchester contained parts of seventeen
booFs on various subjects; and, on his borrow
ing Bible from the Convent of St. Swithin,
be had to give heavy bond. drawn up with
great solemnity. that be return it uniniured
When book was purchased, it was an affair
OF such consequence that persons of distinc-
ton were called together as witnesses. Pre-
viously to the year 1900, the library Of the
University of Oxford consisted only of few
tracts, which were carefully locked up in &
small chest, or else chained, lest they should
escape; and at the commencement of the 18th
century, the royal library of France contain
ed only four classics, with few devotional
works.

A RAGE FOR RED.-Yesterday seemed to
inaugurate fashionable era of red. A per-
feet mania seems to have taken possession of
the ladies for red and scarlet women, scarlet
in costume, if not in character are more nu-
merous than the Irishman's BIRDS, of which
there were 6 80 many you could shake stick
at them" Red is worn on every part of the
person, from the hoods on their heads to the
shoes on their feet. They wrap their frail bo-
dies in cloaks of scarlet, and their fair limbs
in stockings of red. More than this they en-
compass themselves with scarlet hoops, and
give shape to their waists with corsets of red
lin order that means Conformation may not
be misunderstood, l will say, par parenttesis
that hoops and corsets are displayed in the
shop windows.) The borders of their hand
kerchiefs display the color so offensive to the
ferocious Fenians," and at the theatre and
opera you may ever see red chemisetts The
ladies accept the decree of the miliners with
good grace, and,
"Since the color they must wear
Is England's cruel red"
they don it with determination to look pref
ty in spite of the milliners. In consequence
of the prevalence of this style there has been
panic in the pink saucer market, and vendors
OF such paints for the face are rapidly rum
ming into bankruptcy. The style in COM
plexion is now the pale and interesting: pale
ness even to palor being practced, as afford
ing an agreeable contrast to the flaming red
