To the Editor OF the Star:
The loss of the great Birmingham La

serve as a reminder of the precarious ten
ure of the valuable collection of the Y. M.
NJ. L. A., in the so called College Building
The edifce is known to be mere tinder'
box, Notwithstanding its pretentious stone
face, and would, few years ago, in spite OF
our excellent Fire Department, have been
destroyed or very seriously damaged, but
for the accident of the writer's familiarity
with the neghborhood enabling him te
promptly conduct the Chief TO flank at
tack from the roof of the Smith & Nixon
Building.
Can not movement be set on foot fol
fund to erect for this valuable and usefu
library a structure such as may not any
night prove its mausoleum?

sidewalk if it took her all summer.
She succeeded. They all succeed.
A woman pushing a baby carriage
in front of her on the sidewalk is
as dangerous as seven roller skat-
ers and four velocipede riders COM
bined. She can't kill a mao quite
as promptly as a runaway team,
but she can knock his shins 20
pieces, tumble him over, upset all
his good resolutions and leave him
fint hearted and evil-minded. You
can't dodge baby cab. Your only
safe way is to make a jump for the
curbstone or climb ladder. They
go on wheels. They are supposed
TO be a convenience which no re-
spectacle baby can do without
No matter who first got the idea
that jolting a baby around town,
bobbing him over curbstones and
bouncing him over crosswalks
would sweeten his disposition-the
Ideals correct. Put a man in a We
hicle of the sort and his back would
be broken in an hour; but babies
have no backs. They are simply
great big hunks of sweetness. The
woman with the baby carriage
needs no advice. She knows
enough to head the vehicle toward
every crowd she can see. The
thicker the crowd the more urgent
her business. 1t is her business to
run to all fires with it, to select the
busiest crosswalks, and to get in
front of all runaway teams, and she
understands it perfectly. If there
is any country on earth where these
vehicles are not in use, it is no
country TO live in.

Consumption.

Medical men have known for a
long time that the best remedies
for consumption were plenty of pure
air, sunshine and exercise, aud also
food that contained much carbon.
Cod liver oil has been favorite
remedy, and has done good in pro
longing the lives of consumptives
and putting off the approach of the
grim monster. The virtues of 9th
er remedies are in proportion to the
amount of carbon they can infuse
into the system to feed the consum-
ing flame that wastes the body.
The theory is that the internal fe-
yer burns up the carbon in the
blood faster than the blood eaten
can replace it. The disease then
preys on the fatty substances of
the body and destroys the lungs
and eventually life. In short there
is not oil enough in the lamp for
TIE wick, and the latter is burnt
and the light goes out. The Chica-
go Tribune prints an interesting
letter from Dr.. D'Unger, of Mime
apolis, Mimi, on this subject, In
which he makes public a prescrip-
ton which he declares has produced
excellent effects, to his personal
knowledge. This is his prescrip-
ton:
One half pound finely cut up
beefsteak (fresh.)
One drachm finely pulverized
charcoal.
Four ounces pulverized sugar
Four ounces rye whisky.
One pint boiling water.
Mix all together, let it stand in
cool place over night, and give
from one to two tablespoonfuls IL
quid and meat-before each meal
l have used this preparation very
frequently and have never known it
to act otherwise than beneficiallv.
The dose should be small at first,
until the stomach becomes used to
it, and then gradually increased.
This remedy has, at least, the
merit of simplicity. Any one can

Filia1 Love Extraordinary.

A strange story is that of Chas
Gilbert, who has served fourteen
years of life sentence for the MUIR
der of Henry Caldwell, of New
Britain, Conn, in 1865. Gilbert
says the crime was committed by
his father and a man named Par
sons. with the object of plundering
Caldwell of 500, and that he, Gil
bert, allowed himself to be convict
ed to save his parent. The father
has since died. Parsons committed
suicide. 1t is Claimed, however.
that both the elder Gilbert and
Parsons made confessions exonera-
ting young Gilbert. Should the
convict's story prove true, his devo-
ton to his parent has exceeded
anything recently imagined by wri-
tiers of romance Elk.
The Banner says: This is one
of those instances where the laws
could not discriminate. The law
is not to blame, as the young man
was willing to suffer vicariously,
and shows what flial love can do.
1t will be remembered that young
Sam Davis was hung by the FEEDER
ais, as a spy, during the war, at Pu-
laski. He was offered pardon on
condition that he would tel who
gave him the fatal papers found on
his person when captured, the pa
pers containing a NOSE excellent plan
of the Notifications and strength of
the Nashville garrison. Rather
than do this he preferred death, and
althoughoffered repeatedlythe alter
native, be preferred death and was
hung. 1t did not transpire who
gave him the plan until long after
the close of the war. Then when
danger no longer existed it became
known to a few that he got the
plan from his father, Lewis Davis.
The old gentleman was a wealthy
farmer of Stewards Creek, near
Smyrna, and was an uncompromis-
ing rebel throughout the war. He
got it from a Federal Colonel, at
that time stationed in Nashville,
tor which he paid thousand dol
lars in gold. But the old man was
true to the officer, ever refusing to
tell his name, although he was ca
gerly solicited to reveal it. The
old gentleman never recovered from
the shock of losing his gallant boy
he was only eighteen years old
but mourned him so deeply that he
soon followed him to the grave.
This case, like the one at the head
of our article, is one of those rare
instances of filial devotion, that goes
to show that human nature is not
so unselfish and. depraved as some
would try to make us believe.
"Greater love hath no man than
this, that man lay down his life
for his friend.n

Rather a Monster.

Atlanta Constitution: DR.. j. G..
Jones, of Rabun county, vouches
for the truth of the following: In
1876, Mrs. Sarah Cawkins gave
birth to a child, or rather a mon
ster, which is yet living and becom-
ing more so every day. In some
respects 1t resembles a human be
ing, but in every particular it APP
pears to be our idea of the wicked
one in miniature. At its birth il
weighed seven pounds and messur
ed nearly three feet in length; its
body seemed tough and inclined to
be scaly; its limbs long and the
muscles very rigid; the fingers are
great claws, and out of all proper
ton with the rest of the body; the
toes on one of its feet are long and
crooked claws; the other foot is
cloven, resembling that of a cow,
except that there is one claw pro-
truding from the hinder part of the
foot. The head and face are even
more monstrous and hideous than
that part just described. When the
child was only three months old Its
head measured nearly nine inches
in length and only eleven inches in
circumference; the chin is long and
pointed; the nose sharp, hooked
and very prominent; the lips do
not cover the mouth, but leave ex-
posed two rows of misunderstanding
carniverous teeth; from both the
upper and lower jaws project two
tusks, which interlock and render
it difficult for the child to open and
close its mouth; on the forehead,
about two inches above the eyes,
are sharp bumps, which project out
about one inch and a half, and
somewhat resembling horns, be-
coming more prominent as the
monstrosity grows older; from the
chin and upper lip coarse AID brist-
ly hair is beginning to grow; the
hair on the head is like hog bristles
and along the backbone coarse hair
is making its appearance; the back
bone extends about three inches
beyond the usual length, thus form
ing something resembling a tail
The monstrosity is a male.

scended about 8 p. m and was
witnessed by hundreds of astonish-
ed citizens. Its first appearance
was that of ball of fire about the
size of a WATERFALL, passing at a
fearful rate of speed, and leaving a
long tail of black smoke. The
citizens assembled at once at the
place where the meteor fell, and
discovered hole in the ground-a
blue clay soll-fourteen feet across,
while the dirt had been scattered in
all directions for twenty rods
around. A corps of shovelers was
at once organized, and the meteor
discovered fifteen feet below the
surface of the ground. 1t was
about the size of a bushel basket,
and weighed about $50 pounds. A
half pound specimen of the heaven
ly visitor Is in the possession of the
Sentinel of this place. 1t is a me-
talic substance, and is invalnerable
to- tue strongest acids. 1t is a
queer specimen and is HEAVIER than
iron or any other metal. Auditor
Whitcomb got a. small piece as a
keepsake, which presents all the ap-
pearance of melted metal. A ring
was beaten out of small detached
particle. 1t is reported that the
parties having it in possession have
refused an offer of 5000 for it.

Bad Habits in Statesmen.

The report that Senator Carpen
ter is killing himself with nicotine
by smoking TWEEN y-eight cigars 4
day, is a reminder that others are
suffering from the same sort Of ex
cess. Most of the smokers in con
gress are smoking too much. Some
of them carry a cigar in theil
mouth all the time. There are Sea
tors and members who never walk
down the avenue without the stump
of a cigar between their fingers.
One prominent man ia Congress is
rapidly killing himself with opium.
and one of the door keepers of the
House is at the point of death from
the same cause. The public man ]
refer to is a popular and respected
man, whose strange ways have long
been a wonder TO those who do not
know of his secret habit. He is a
kind aud genial gentleman, but he
is liable to pass his best friend with
a blank stare half an hour after he
has met him pleasantly in converse
tion. His fits Of abstraction and
amount almost TO crazi-
ness. At times he is so odd and
queer that his associates are puz-
zled by his conduct. Opium is eat
ing up his life, and be will not last
long. 1t is q pity, for his is one of
the best intellects in congress, and
he might render much useful public
service If he would.

BETTER THAN GOLD.

Better than grandeur, better than gold
Than rank and titles a thousand fold,
Is healthy body and mind at ease,
And simple pleasures that always please;
A heart that can feel for another's woe,
And share its joys with genial glow,
With sympathies large enough to enfold,
All men as brothers, is better than gold.
Better than gold is conscience clear,
Though toiling for bread in an humble sphere
Doubly blessed with content and health,
Untried by the lust of cares of wealth;
Lowly living apd lofty thought
Adorn and ennoble poor man cot;
For mind and morals in natures plan,
Are the genuine tests of gentleman.
Better than gold is the sweet repose
Of the sons of toll when the labors close;
Better than gold is the poor mans sleep.
And the balm that drops on his slum Der deep
Bring sleepy draughts to the downy bed
Where luxury pillows its aching head,
But he his simple opiate deems
A shorter route to the land of dreams.
Better than gold is a thinking mind,
That in the realm of books can find
A treasure surprising Australian ore,
And live withthe great and good ofyore;
The sage's lore and the poets lay,
The glories of empires passed away;
The worlds great dream will thus unfold,
And yield pleasure better than gold.
Better than gold is peaceful home,
When all the Preside characters come,
The shrine of love, the heaven of life,
by mother, or sister, or wife;
However humble the home may be,
Or tried with sorrow by heavens decree,
The blessings that never were bought nor sold,
And center there, are better than gold.

The ouinine Steal.

The Medical and Surgical Re
porter, published at Philadelphia
the headquarters of the quinine mo.
nopolists, says: "TEe fortune of the
late L II. Powers is estimated be-
tween five and ten million dollars.
Very much of this was made on
quinine, and the movement to re-
peal the duty on that drug is one
which should meet the approval of
all unbiased physicians. At pres
ent the sick are obliged to pay more
than twice as much for this medi-
cine as they would were this duty
removed. The excess goes into the
pockets of the already enormously
rich manufacturers. 1t is a strik-
ing instance of the gross injustice
of protective duties In fact, it is
encouraging a monopoly of the most
unfair description"
