A TRUE SOLDIER.

Gen. Bartlett. did, refuses to keep up the
war against tho South for the benefit

tenance and aid of the most corrupt

with. and who had tho manhood to

A NARROW ESCAPE.
A Man Falls Forty Feet.

About 1890 o'clock Friday morning there
was considerable of stir created in the Gus
tom-House by the report that man had
fallen through the elevator hatch ind was
dashed to pieces. After short search, the
individual who was said to have been the VIC
tim was found, and although he was not
killed outright, he had received very serious
bodily injury.
He was, it was learned, standing near the
hatchway in the southeast corner ofthe build
ing, on the second floor, when he suddenly
lost his balance, and turning over and over in
his descent, struck heavily on a wheeibarrow
in the basement. Assistance was rendered
him Immediately, and the extent Of his inju-
ries inquired into.
He said his name was George Laris, and
he resided on Robertson street.
He did not feel any very acute pain after
the fall except when he dew a long breath,
and then his back and shoulders hurt him.
The back of his head, which was gashed,
didn't pain him as badly as the shoulders
and he thought something was injured in
terna!ly.
He was conveyed to his residence, and it is
probable both shoulder-blades are broken.
The distance he fell is fully forty feet, and
Laris's escape from instant death is remark

A Coop JoKE-There comes a good story
from the post-ofice. The agent of book
called and endeavored to sell copy to the
delivery clerk. 1t was doubtful if he could
afford one, he said; however, if the mailing
clerk would subscribe he would The mail
ing clerk said he would take one if his col
league would follow suit The young man
intimated that if the chief came down he
would secure copy. Now the chief thought
that he would do better than the rest, who
had lily succeeded in evading the book agents
requests, SO he singled out member of the
corps who was expected to refuse with Spar
a wag, for he said that rather than deprive
the whole of them of the privilege of reading
the work, he would take copy. The agent
was duly grateful, but how that clerk did
catch it when MS associates got at him.

Fashion Defeated.

In Germany fashion is sometimes com.
PEELED to make concessions to good taste. A
Berlin correspondent tells of an amusing pc
tition recently presente to the superintend-
emit of theaters there, in which the signers
complain that on account of the towering SUI
perstructure worn by the ladies on the top Of
their heads, and on the summit OF which
many perched hat, it was impossible for
persons in the back row of seats to see the
stage or the performance. The amiable di-
rector found himself in an uncomfortable
position.
He desired to please the frequenters of the
opera, and yet it was delicate matter to pro-
woke the displeasure of the ladies'. Finally
he inserted in all the leading newspapers a
notice stating that such a petition had been
sent to him, which he would publish, with
the hope that the ladies would save him the
necessity OF issuing an order in regard to the
costume to be worn by opera.go The
notice had the desired effect, and it was anus
ing to see the marked change in the style Of
couture on the succeeding evening. Some
time before, gentleman took an equally ef-
fective plan to clear the obstruction between
him and the stage.
A lady sat in front of him with towering
braids and high, plumed hat. He stopped
over and asked her several times to be kind
enough to remove her hat She sat bolt up
right, not even condescending to look around
at the speaker, and there was a still higher
elevation Of the towering mass of velvet and
plumes. The gentleman quietly took out
from beneath his seat his own "cylinder >"
and placed it upon his head. In an instant
there were several cries Of chats off, while
the lady, supposing, Of course, they were in
tended for her, hastily united her hat and laid
in her lap, to the great amusement Of those
who witnessed the genteman's ruse

seen sauutering along the rain street OF one
of our Western villages. Pau5ing in front of
little meeting house for moment, he
went in and took his seat among the con-
gregation. The preacher was discoursipg on
the text Of ''the sheep and the wolves" and
had evidently been drawing a contrast be-
tween the two subjects Says he: "We who
assemble here from week to week and do
our duty, and perform our part, are the
sheep; now who are the wolves q pause,
and our friend the trapper rose to his feet !:

The Boy Who Sa;ed Charlotte Cus'lman's
5z.5.. Life.
boston Herald


More than fifty years ago boy some six
teen or seventeen years of age, was at work
one afternoon on the old I" Hingha1 Station
Packet" which will be remembered by some
Of our citizens as for years occupying berth
at the head of the dock where State street
block now stands. 1t was an afternoon when
there was no school, and girl, somewhat
younger than the boy alluded to, was passing
the half-holiday in play near the store Of her
father. Nenturing too near the edge Of the
dock she missed her footing and fell over
board, and it being high water at the time
she disappeared. No one saw her fall, but
by accident the lad noticed some bubbles in
the water, and having just before seen the
little miss on the wharf, instantly took in the
situation.
Springing into the water, he succeeded in
bringing her to the surface, and, calling for
ai6, she was taken On shore and restored to
her parent. This act Of hercism saved the
life of one who has become the most distin-
guished American actress of the age-a lady
as highly respected for her moral worth and
irreproachable private character as she is re-
nowned over the world for her eminent his
tronic achievements. Her rescuer is to-day
one of our most estimable citizens, and less
than year ago acquainted the lady with the
circumstances of her delivery from o watery
grave through his fundamentally fact she
well remembered, although till then ignorant
of the name of her preserver. Cornelius
Lowell had saved the life OF Charlotte Cush-
man.
Hon. William S. Groesbeck has presented
$4,000 to Burnet Woods Park, Cincinnati,
the interest OF which is to used to detray the
expenses OF music in that park.

Boston Women Scandalized.

DO Boston women chew tobacco? That's
the question. Rev. Mr.. Lathrop has declared
it a fact before the Womens Temperance
Union of that city. He not only makes this
charge, but, generaliz;ng little, claims that
he can get ton men to leave off chewing
where he can induce one woman to say that
she will never more use " fine cut or 'ssweet
navy Can such things be? The use Of
the weed by women in certain sections OF the
clergyman, whose opinions are entitled
to the utmost consideration, should
felt it his bounden duty to publicly remon-
strate with the female world of Boston for its
indulgence in the habit that has heretofore
been deemed one of the blessed vicious priv
ileges OF male humanity exclusively. His
statements seem to be made in manner
which indicates that he has accurate know
ledge of certain cases. The Globe says: "In
times past, jealous New York, Tuning Chicago,
and ever quiet and demure Philadelphia have
hinted that the average Boston young lady
affected eyeglasses as gentle stimulant for
her optics, and was trifle cool and high
toned as to style; and, not long ago, Boston
ladies were accused by some anonymous cor
respondent of frequently INDUCING in too
much wine; but We have never heard of any
such awful charge as this before" 1t is
pretty rough, surely. II the thing were told
upon any other city than Boston it would not
50 much matter. But the idea that, in the
very hub OF the universe, the dreadful exam
Pile should be set the world at large, is har-
rowing to husbands and lovers. Hereafter,
young man, mind your girls eye-teeth for
nicotine discoloration. They do say tina.
Washington bellies brighten their eyes and
prevent their gayety from tagging by cham
paign tipping, but that is as nothing to this
Boston scandal. -COurier-.joarna
