j Old Squire Hopkins was a per-

the effect of bashfulness rather than
an inherent physical defect. One

buyer. -... .....-.... ..

A Gamblers Terrible Revenge.

A Gamblers Terrible Revenge.
MEMPHIS, January 8.-A shooting
affray occurred at 10 o'clock this
morning, at the corner of Second
and Market streets, resulting in the
death of Edwin Whitfield, Of the
firm of Moore & Whitfield, cotton
factors, by O. H. Doran, a gambler.
Doran rehtid house from Whit
fields father, and kept such disrepu-
table company that an attempt was
made in the courts to eject him.
Doran, this morning, published =
card in the Avalanche, denouncing
both the Whitfields as thieves, liars
and poltroons. Edwin Whitfield
and Major Moore went to the house
for the purpose, it is supposed, Of
chastising Doran. On knocking the
door was opened. Whitfield entered
and the door was slammed in Moore's
face and locked. The shooting
commenced simultaneously with the
locking of the door, when Moore
and a crowd attracted by the firing.
burst the door open, and Whitfield
was found lying on the floor dying.
and Doran and two women were
standing in the center of the ROOM.
Doran cried out that he surrendered.
He and the women were taken to
Jail. Whitfeld's pistol was found
on him, never having been drawn.
He was shot through the body five
times, and beaten over the head
with pistol. There is strong talk
of lynching Doran. Whitfield was
an exemplary young man, and but
recently married. During the war
he served on the staff OF General
Dick Taylor. -

A Novel Wager.

The Chicago Tribune tells of
three young men residents of that
city, one salesman on South Water
street, another machinist employed
in one of the largest manufacturing
establishments on the South Side,
and the other an engineer in one of
the late transportation steamers,
plying between there and the lower
lakes, who came to the conclusion
that by committing matrimony they
would be happier and have some
dear little creature to love and cher
ish and provide for. In order to
settle question as to who should be
the first, a game Of euchre, ten points
up was proposed, the conditions be-
ing that the one losing should be
united in wedlock before next De-
cember- a length of time be-
ing allowed in order to give him an
opportunity to make selection
and if he failed to secure wife, he
was to support the other two thro'
the winter of 80 and'70-giving
them the comforts Of home-or
leave this country and renounce his
rights as an American citizen. The
game came off on the fifth instant,
in the presence of few friends OF
the parties concerned, and termin
ated in the defeat Of the, machinist.
The salesman magnanimously offer
ed to relieve him of the responsible
ity for the consideration of-S5OO.
Whether this proposition has been
excepted or=not, is yet unrevealed.
The successful gentleman was well
known through out the city, and a
speedy consumation is anxiously
looked for by his friends.
Girls, don't all speak at once.

President Lincoln's joking pro-
pensity is notorious. The following
capital hit is worthy Of publication:
A gentleman from Boston who was
a graduate and an office seeker, cal
led on Mr.. Lincoln foran appoint
ment, and was sustained by all infu-
entail politicians of his State, as all
such men are After having preseil
ted his claims and that everlasting
string of names, the gentleman
wished to to turn the conversation
a moment and asked the President
at what college he graduated, 81
never graduated at any college, sir:
while in this world we never gradu-
ate, it is one lifelong school" On
says the graduate, you are a self
made made man. 'sNet at ALL -
said Mr.. Lincoln, 81 believe God
made man."
The Bostonian saw the point and
left without his credentials.

WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.
The Largest Skeleton Ever
FOund-The ELIMINATION of an
Antediluvian Human Skeleton.

FROM the Sauk Rap1dS Sentinei, Istn
Day before yesterday, while the
quarry men employed by the Sank
Rapids Water Power Company were
engaged in quarrying rock for the
dam which is being erected across
the Mississippi at this place, they
found imbedded in the solid granite
rock the remains of human being
of gigantic stature. About seven
feet below the surface of the ground
and about three feet and a half be-
meath the upper stratum of rock, the
remains were found imbedded in the
sand, which had evidently been plac
ed in the quadrangular grave which
had been dug out Of the solid rock
to receive the last remains of this an
tediluvian giant. The grave was IL
feet in length, four feet wide, and
about three feet in depth, and is to-
day at least two feet below the pres
ent level of the river. The remains
are completely petrifed, and Of gi-
gantic dimensions. The head is
massive, and measures thirty one
and half inches in circumference,
but low in the os .frontis. and very
fat on top. The femur measures
twenty SIX and a quarter inches, and
the fbula twenty five and a half
while the body is equally long ir
proportion. From the crown Of
of the head to the sole of the foot
the length is ten feet nine inches and
half The measure around the
chest is fifty nine and half inches
This giant must have weighed al
least 900 pounds when covered with
reasonable amount of flesh. The
petrified remains, and there is moth
ing left but the naked bones, now
weigh '3044 pounds. The thumb
and fingers of the left hand, and the
left foot, from the ankle to the toes
are gone; but all the other parts are
perfect. Over the sepulchre of the
unknown dead was placed a large

From the Atlantic Monthly for January.l
Consumption Infectious.
BY DIR. HENRY BowDITCH.

It was our fortune to attend a
man slowly dying OF consumption,
who, while hopelessly and helpless
ly i'll, was devotedly cared for by his
wife, who at the time felt herself,
and seemed to be, in perfect health.
Years after her husbands death,
and when bravely battling against
the disease, which commenced its
insidious attacks Immediately subse-
quent to his death, she related to me
the following facts, but only on my
definite inquiries as to how init
mate her relations had been with
him during his illness. 1t seems
that often, in wintry nights, that
faithful woman would arise from
the side of her husband, wto was
lying with his dress drenched with
the chilling sweat of increasing
disease, and would persuade him to
take her warm clothing aud to lie
down in the dry warm place she had
just left, while, simply throwing a
blanket over it, she would take the
spot previously occupied by him.
Upon our expressing horror at
the thought of the danger she had
run, and which apparently had told
with so much power upon her, she
quietly remarked that she knew at
the time the danger she was incurr-
ing. She had no thought of danger
to herself, and only of her husband s
comfort, "But" added she, II then
got what l never recovered from. D
A certain vitality seemed to go out
of her; and though her nature con-
tended for many years against the
incroachments of. the disease, she
finally died, always believing that
she had taken consumption from
her husband, but with a certain
martyr like joy that such had really
been the fact. IT, 80. - : ''.'' =,
IF We have now in our mind Other
and analogous cases, as, for example
husbands having their first cough
when .,inhaling the breath of theil
sick wives" while ministering to
their necessities. We have known
daughters and sisters, who, full Of
apparent helth and strength, wher
consumption has seized mother ol
sister, have continued to sleep will
the invalid and to breath the same
closed-up atmosphere at night, ane
to watch all day without, perhaps, I
moment of healthful out-of-dool
exercise And we have been dis
tressed to find not a few Of suci
healthy young persons gradual.
beginning to suffer with indigestion
debility, and finally cough, and al
the symptoms OF consumption. II
some instances, in fact, the attendan
has died before the life of the orig
inal patient has ended. These fact
are very significant, and although
we are well aware that, in some o
them, other elements of disease ma.
lhave had their fatal influences, still
| the cases have been full of sugges
Itions as to the encessities of create
precautions than we, in this country
have usually taken in this matter.

isto avail ourselves Of the only
means by which we may avoid
serious depreciation of our material
interests. That is, this will be the
practical result of reconstruction,
under national legislation, upon
our interests. The moving cause
of that legislation, probably, was
security for the future Here, we
m6y discover the line that should
mark our connection with recon
struction. 1t begins and ends in
our care for home interests. 1t will
be time enough to begin to look
into the future when we have pro-
vided for the present. .
The politicians of the old school
seem anxious to impress upon the
minds Of our young men the i'm
portance of rejecting all PROPOSE
tons coming from the Republican
party, or else they dishonor their
own bl >od and the blood of theil
fallen comrades. But gentlemen
should remember that they only
dishonor their comrades when they
dishonor themselves, and that there
can not be dishonor in ready ODE
dience to law, and a proper care fol
our own welfare On the contrary
to discard the law and expose our
selves to unnecessary difficulties, is
near akin to dishonor. Il is true
that many worthy persons are dis
franchised under the law, but the
readiest and surest means of relief
are through the law. z--
conclude, therefore, that interest
and duty, and honor demand that We
should place ourselves in condi
ton to support the laws OF Con
gress. When we have done so WI
shall receive abundantly of hell

other members of the Govern
ment. 52 4.a4. -.

The YANKEE,-Who has not heard
of the Yankee? His name is sound
ed in all the world. But from whence
came this strange character? He is
a nondescript among the nations,
and yet the reflex of them all. He
is translation from other national
tiles; resurrectio from the ruins
of the past.
When we talk of the wit of the
Irish, we behold the Yankee his peer.
The frmness of the Briton is more
than equaled. The endurance of
Norway, the integrity of Scotland,
and the politeness of the French
man, are beautifully combined in his
character. Thus he stands forth in
the march of civilization as the elec-
tic man. >r
