Logan at Fort DOnelsOn.

General John. A Logan, who was
elected to the United States Senate by
the Republicans of the Illinois legisla-
ture, was found severely wounded on
the battlefield of Fort Donelson by our
esteemed circuit clerk, Captain W. e.
Bell, who, thinking him dead, took off
his splendid sword and belt and sent
them to his family. Captain Bell, who
was then a gallant Confederate soldier,
came upon General Logan stretched out
upon the ground, dressed in full regi
mentals, his arms folded across his
breast, his eyes closed and giving no
sign OF life. While standing over, as he
supposed, the dead body of the Fed
eral general, Captain Bell was joined
by Captain Madeira, of the Confederate
side, who recognized in Logan his old
schoolmate. Madeira was deeply moved
at what he thought to be the untimely
fate of his youthful companion, and di-
rected Captain Bell where to send the
sword Of tho fallen chieftain. Logan
was shot through the lungs, and his life
hung on q thread for long time.
Madeira was afterward killed at 0hicka-
mauga.-Anderso,s (Ry.) News. '1'.'

The Antiquity Of Weaving.

The earliest records of the art OF
weaving are to be found in the Old Tes-
lament. Pharaoh arrayed Joseph in
the "vestures of fine 1inen," and Job
lamented that his days were swifter than
the weaver's shuttle, the use OF the
smile proving that the shuttle was
common and well-known object at the
time. Portions of woven cloth anda
weaver's shuttle have been found among
the remains of the lake dwellings, and
as the latter are believed to belong to
the stone age, the origin Of the art may,
possibly have been nearly coincident
with the existence OF man. Few, II
any savage races have been discovered
altogether ignorant of the art, and many
of them have brought it to conside1x
able degree of perfection; while the
relics of the ancient Peruvians and
Egyptians show that they were skilled
weavers. Some fragments OF Egyptian
cloth were found on examination to be
woven with threads OF about 100 hanks
to the pound, with 140 threads to the
inch in the warp, and sixty.four in the
woof. Although the art was practlced,
extensively, and with no mean skill, IN
yery ancient times, it progressed slowly
and gradually-by small steps, at long
intervals. The great advances IN ihe
art of weaving have been made during
the past 300 years, mainly during The
past century. .-Scieatifc AMERICAN.

More About the CaRres.

The Caffres, who have given so much
trouble to the British, with whom they
have had any number of wars, are Pc
culiar and, ethnically considered, very
interesting people. They inhabit the
northern part of the continent of Africa,
and are tall, well -proportioned and gen.
orally good-looking, OF dark-brown or
bronze color, their hair growing in short
woolly tufts. They are brave in times
of peace, kind and hospitable to stran-.
gers, and are noted for affectionateness
in the family relation. Having minds of
very acute, even logical, kind, they
have often gained the advantage over
opponents in pacific arguments. Elk.
cepting their well-nigh irresistible pas
sion for appropriatipg cattle, they may
be said to be tolerably honest. Their
theological notions are indistinct and
confused but they are very supersti-
tious, standing in perpetual apprehen-
sion of wizards and sorcerers. Their
huts, built by women, are of beehive
shape, made of wattles stretched with
grass, and a collection of them is called
a kraal, a Portuguese word meaning in
closure. The rule of the chiefs is patri-
archal but they are aided by number
of councillors (pakati), whose advice is
usually followed by the chief. Polyg-
amy prevails, and wives are commonly
bought for cattle, the natural currency
of the people. Albeit the chief has ab'
solute power over property, he rarely
exercises it. Almost any crime may be
atoned for by payment of cattle, and re-
taliation is strictly forbidden, even in
case of murder. The Caffres are strictly
pastoral. The men tend the herds e1-
clusively, even milking them, while the
women cultivate the soil and look after
the duties of the household. Their Ian
guage is sonorous and expressive. In
war they discard the customary blanket,
and fight nude, painted from head to
foot with fre-red clay.

A Princess Elopes with q Duke.

A princess has eloped with duke in
Samoa. His excellency, tho governor OF
the Tan Masaga district in the island OF
Upola, had a charming sister named
Toe, with the complexion OF baked
goose, cocoanut apron, necklace OF
birds claws, and a fancy that was free.
he was ardently attached to her, and
could not be induced to consent to her
marriage under any considerations, social
or political. When Duke Malietoa fell
in love with her the courtship was con-
Quoted clandestinely, and eventually an
elopement was agreed upon and carried
into execution. The governor bethought
himself of bit OF strategy to. recover
possession of his truant sister. He sent
q message to Toe pretending to be re
conciled to her choice, and requesting
her to return and be married under the
baronial tn Itch in proper style. The
dusky Lothario fell into this trap. Great
preparations were made for the occasion,
and Lord Malietos, accompanied by the
fair Toe, set out on his return, followed
by all his relatives in an imposing pro.
cession, bearing baked pigs in profu-
sion, and timing their march to the
beating of tom-toms. On Sunday the
governor feigned violent attack OF
gout, and sent message for the lovely
Toe to hasten to the bedside OF her poor
brother. The unsuspecting one obeyed,
but no sooner was she inside the gov
ernor's lines than she was bundled into
canoe and conveyed to Sola Sola, 7
her brothers domain. The distracted
Malietoa and his retainers remained
where they were bivouacked, assuaglng
their grief by gorging themselves with
baked pig and other dellcacles, not
knowing what disposition had been made
of the missing bride. Toe had professed
great regret for her folly, declared that
she had entirely overcome her love for
Malietoa. and would henceforth be q
dutiful sister. But she had not proved
false to her lover. She sent him letter,
and within few hours a war canoe con.
tanning seventy warriors, armed to the
teeth, put in to Sola Sole. The faithful
Toe had 80 arranged that the guard OF
old women under whose surveillance she
had been placed should be out of reach
at the appointed time. When the war
canoe came inside the reef she rushed
forth, and without tarrying to cast of
her simple apparel, boldly plunged into
the water, swan out to the boat and was
taken on board. Then she sank into the
arms Of her lover.

Fifteen FOllies.

1st. To think that the more man
eats the fatter and stronger he will be-
come.
I'd. To believe that the more hours
children study at school the faster they
learn.
Sd. To conclude that, if exercise is
healthful, the more violent or exhaust
i've it is the more good is done.
4th. To imagine that every hour taken
from sleep is an hour gained.
9Th. To oct on the presumption that
the smallest room in the house ls large
enough to sleep in.
9Th. To argue that whatever remedy
causes one to feel Immediately better is
"good for" the system without regard
to more ulterior effects.
7th. To commit an act which is felt in
itself to be preiudicial, hoping that
somehow or other it may be done in your
case with impunity.
9Th. To advise another to take a
remedy which you have tried on your
self, without making special inquiry
whether the conditions are alike.
9th. To eat without an appetite, or to
continue to eat after it has been satisfied,
merely to crafty the taste.
10th. To eat hearty supper for the
pleasure experienced during the brief
time it is passing down the throat, at
the expense of a whole night OF dis
turbed sleep, and weary waking in the
morning.
11th. To remove portion of the COW
ering Immediately after exercise, when
the most stupid drayman in New York
knows that if he does not put a cover on
his horse the moment he ceases to work
in winter. he will lose him in few days
by pneumonia.
18th. To contend that because the
dirtiest children in the street or high
way are hearty or healthy, therefore it
is healthy to be dirty; forgetting that
continuous daily exposure to the pure
outdoor air in joyous, unrestrained &C
tivities, is such powerful agency for
health that those who live thus are well
in spite of rags and filth.
18th. To presume to repeat, later in
life, without injury, the indiscretions,
exposures and intemperance which IN
the flush of youth were practiced with
impunity.
18th. To believe that warm mir is
necessarily impure, or that pure cold air
is necessarily more healthy than the
confined air of crowded vehicle. The
latter at most can only cause nausea,
while entering q conveyance after walk
ing briskly and lowering q window will,
by exposing to draft, give o cold in
fallibly, or an attack Of pleurisy or
pneumonia, which will cause weeks and
months of suffering, if not actual death
within four days. :,
18th. To "remember the Sabbath
day" by working harder and later on
Saturday than any other day in the
week, with a view Of sleeping late next
morning and staying at home all day to
rest, conscience being quieted by the
plea of not feeling very well.-HaH.

How Lazy Chinese Students are Punished

A young John Chinaman at Phillips
academy, in Andover, finds his head in
danger. John had been rather backward
in his studies, so that the faculty consid-
cred it their duty to make the same
known to the Chinese government, at
whose expense the young man is edu-
Gated. This they did; and one may i'm.
agine the disgust that was manifested
upon reading the reply, which was as
follows: "Send him home, and we will

Conflicts,

"The great battles Of life are unending-
hey go on by night Is well as by day, at al
easons and in all places"
Oh not upon fortified hill or field.
Where foemen meet with saber and shield,
Are mightiest battles fought!
Not amid warfare's wild alarms,
In the roar Of cannon, the clash Of arms,
Are grandest Victories wrought!
Look abroad into earth's sad homes
Where fierce temptation steslthily comes,
Followed by wan despair;
Where souls are assailed by some merciless
BY sin, BY hollow-eyed want or woe,
And mark the conflicts there!
Many mother sitting at night
by her starving child, without warmth OF
light,
In the desolate winter time,
Faces dread fees with courage true,
And q spirit whose noble struggles outdo
a hero's deeds sublime.
Many wife who watches and prsys
Through long sad hours, while her loved
one strays
With those who to ruin lure,
Bravely wrestles with unseen foes
Bravcly smiles while her hearts blood flows
From wounds that know no cure.
Behold yon maiden, strangely fair,
With her gentle smile and her patient air,
At her needle toiling still.
Ah! she could tell Of many fight
Bitterly wsged by day and by night
With the legions Of wrong and i'll.
But she's conquered the terrible army at
last
The struggle is over, the peril is past,
And victory crowns her brow.
No mortal eye may see it shine,
Yet the crown is there, and its light divine
nlumines her spirit now.
All, yes these wonderful battles are fought,
These silent victories hourly wrought
In the lowlisst ranks Of life!
While some are wicked and many are weak
While spirits Of evil their victims seek
Will be waged this unequal strife.
Only God and bis angels pure
Ever can know what they endpra
Who cope with these unseen foes;
Only heaven, with its infinite rest,
Can symbol the peace Of the vic:or's breast
When these perilous cohlic:s close.
