PERSONAL General J. B. Gordon and
his accomplished lady were in Charlotte
on Wednesday. The gallant hero Of
SCORES OF hard fought fields was looking
remarkably we'll. notwithstanding his
numerous wounds. The General had
way of getting hit in many OF the battles
he was 10. and after one or two casualties
of that kind, Mrs. G. resolved to stay
with him to nurse him. To her loving
care. he is doubtless indebted for getting
safely through some of his worst wounds.
Mrs. Ct. was almost as well known by the
soldiers as her intrepid husband. Many
still living will remember her attem pt to
rally the disorganized fragment of troops
In Earlys great disaster in the Valley.
General p. "a confirmed old bacIelor)
was not in favor OF officers having their
wives with them. On night march he
inquired whose ambulance thai was, and
being told that it was Mrs. G.'s, he
growled out. II wish my soldiers would
struggle as little as Mrs. G.i"

There is just now tremendous hue
and CRY against the gallows as means
Of helping murderers out Of the world.
The Minneapolis Tribune is in favor OF
its aboiishment, because it is an unsiehtly
and offensive way OF inficting the death
penalty, and proposes that poison or
something else equally quiet be substi-
tuted for asphyxia. and that every State
have a Surgeon General to supervise the
taking Of life according to law, who shall
prescribe the sort of poison that will be
the least painful and the most effective,
and the best method OF administering it,
1t is not certain, says the editor, but
electricity would be quicker and better.
Hogs are now killed in Cincinnati with a
patent battery. II the Sheriff could
walk gently around behind the prisoner,
quietly apply the end of the deadly
wire, and drop him to the earth, like a
pigeon deftiy shot on wing. it would
seem little more in accordance with
civilization.
