STIRRED HER Virginia Trespass

STIRRED HER UP.-Virginia Trespass
tells this:
A miner, stopping at one of the boarding
and lodging houses, between Taylor street
and the Divide. was troubled a good deal
by bed bugs, and resolved to start the land
lady after them. She contended that there
were no bugs in the house-she had never
seen one in her room, nor felt one; but that
didn't satisfy our lodger, as he didn't occupy
the same room, and was positive there was
at least quart OF bugs in close proximity
to his bed. He procured a small bottle, and
began to catch and bottle bed-bugs He
persevered until he had caught and corked
up several dozen ofthe pesterifereos inescts;
and after keeping the poor things cooped
until they were nearly starved, slipped into
the landlady's room one evening and de-
posited the contents of the bottle under the
old woman's pillow. 1t is unnecessary to
say that she made it " mighty hot for bed
bugs about that house the next day. The
miner says he never saw such relentless war
waged against bed bugs before

a Remarkable Discovery.

The Chattanooga Union says that Mr..

salt lick on his farm, few miles north of
Kingston, Tenn, struck solid limestone
rock about seven feet below the surface
He found in it a we'll eight inches in diam

discovery of the well, Mr.. Staples proseou-

were Of stoneware, made of the same mate
rial as that used by the Indians for their
houseware, such as plates, kettles, ETC.
The kettles were broken, but the curvature
indicated that they were about three feet in
diameter, and were about forty in number.
A most striking fact connected with the
discovery is, that the kettles were found at
a depth Of seven feet below the surface Of

Large and Small Hands

There is nothing which drOnes and tops
covet more than a small white hand, mem
Der which will easily fit into lady's glove,
and may be exhibited upon snowy hand
kerchief, without its color suffering by the
contrast. To many, as well as to the late
Lord Byron, such hand is a distinctive
mark of ''gentle," or we should rather say
''genteel'' blood. We confess that this is a
feeling with which we have never sympa-
thized. The bronzed hand, n ith it's power
of muscle, and its swelling veins, is to US a
far more gratifying object. for it tells of
exertion, and society holds on civilization
by it's stalwart grasp far more securely than
the most aristocratiO fingers would enable
US to do. The small hand Is the represent
tative Of luxurious uselessness, the large
hand Of earnest toll and just as the small
handed warriors Of old vanished before the
sturdy, continuous energy Of the large-han-
ded Teutons, will idle beauty pass away
before the truth Of industry, and the labor
of the large handed will at once support
and rule the world.

THE CONFEDERATE DEAD.
By MRS. C. L. BALL.

No orphans mourn, no mother weep,
No sisters tears are shed
Over the graves where calmly sleep
Our loved and martyred dead,
But woman's heart blessing breathes.
And woman's hands are twining wreathes
Above each lowly bed
And flowers of summer sunshine born,
In robes Of beauty dressed,
And brought by woman to adorn
The soldiers place of rest.
Dear was the cause for which they bled,
And honOred still shall be our dead,
Our nOblest, and our best.
Then come, and DER each buried head
Your floral offerings cast:
Meet tribute to the gallant dead,
Who TO their rest have past.
And soon above our countless slain,
Who long have ali unhOnored lain,
Shall monumental marble tell
How g!oriously they fought and fell
and the brave boys we loved so we'll
Will have their need at last.

There was no affectation ofdevoutness OF
asceticism in my patient but every oppor-
lunity had of seeing him convinced me
more deeply of his sincere religious con-
victions. He was fond of referring to pas
sages of Scripture, comparing text with
text, dwelling on the divine beauty of the
imagery, and the wonderful adoption of the
whole to every conceivable phase and stage
Of human life. Nothing that any mans in
dividual experience, however strange, could
bring home to him, but had been previous
ly foretold and described, with its proper
lesson of promise and hope, in the sacred
volume. 1t was the only absolute wisdom,
reaching all varieties of existence, because
comprehending the whole and beside its
inspired universal knowledge. all the learn
ing of humanity was but foolishness. The

earneslness 10 his discourse clear, pas

of consolng such sorrows as his possessed,

which no sophistrY of the infdel could

To this phase of the prisoners character

which, though an unworthy one, was this:
My knowledge that many, if not a major

dislike and distrust, and consequent fear
that an earlier forcing on their attention o.
this phase Of his character before their opin-
