A Last Dollar MisaDpIied.

The other morning, says the Carson
(Nev.) Appeal, a stranger might have
been noticed standing in the rear of the
mint, watching an old woman pick up
sticks. She must have been about eighty
years of age. Her old calico dress was
full of holes, her face was as wrinkied
as tripe and as brown as leather. Every
time she stopped to pick up stick she
was obliged to do so with painful eff
fort. She raked over the dry leaves
with palsied hands, and all the worth
less little pieces went into her basket.
A heap of garbage and ashes occupied
her attention for some ten minutes
The man who was watching her finally
walked up behind her and dropped a
dollar into her basket, and then stole
away, unnoticed. An attache of the
mint, who was near, hailed him as he
passed. 81 say, did you give dollar
to the old lady" eyes, did, although
it was about the last l had. l can't
bear to see poverty and old age combined.

she, and as weak and palsied. 1 feel

have a dollar from me if its the last

over thereW yes" "With houses
on it?' eyes" "The houses and lot
belong to her." An expletive was all
the stranger had to offer, as he turned
away and walked rapidly up Carson
street. 1t was his last dollar.

"A Plucky Virginia Lady.
Petersburg lva.) Index-AppeaI.J

MAJ. Gen. G. B. Warren, formerly
commanding the Sixth Corps of the
Army of the Potomac accompanied by
Capt. Gotten also of the United States
Army, recently visited the battlefield
Of Five Forks, in Dinwiddie County, the
scene of one of the last battles around
Petersburg.
The object of their visit was to make
a survey and plot of the field, and the
! positions of the contending armies, to
be used in the Court of Inquiry before
which Gen. Warren is having an inyes-
| tigatiOn as to his prOmptness in moving
to the fight. In order to get the exact
data and a complete situation of affairs,
it became necessary for Capt. Gotten to
run a line of survey through the prem
Uses of a gentleman living in the vicinity
which line was just outside of the
residence-between it and the orchard.
The owner of the property happened to
be away from home at the time, and his
wife was the custodian of the manor.
She discovered that something unusual
was going on, as to the nature of which
she had not been informed, and about
which her permission, it seems, had not
been asked. Imagining that a trespass
was being committed, she bravely went
out to the spot, armed with a double
baTreled shotgun, and ordered the engi-
ueer and his assistants away. Capt.
Gotten, who, by the way, is genial and
courteous gentleman, undertook to ex-
plain his presence there, and the object
he wished to accomplish; but the lady
declined to accept his explanation. de-
claring in a positive and determined
manner that she did not intend to have
the farm parceled out into $40 acre"
lots. The Captain hesitated, hoping to
be able to make his presence and his
motives understood, but he was again
ordered to leave-and that Immediately
with an intimation from the lady that
though she was not in the last war, she
would be in this, if he did not move
forthwith. The Captain quickly per-
ceived that it would be wise in him to
go, and retired with the best grace posi-
Bile under the circumstances. Suisse
quently, however, the object of the visit
of the officers was explained to the lady
by some of the neighbors, and the sur
vey was allowed to proceed. The mis-
apprehension under which the lady
labored was a very natural one and she
manifested remarkable courage and de-
cision under the circumstances. Our
opinion is more than ever confirmed that
the Southern ladies are not only the
fairest and gentlest, but the bravest in
the world.

SuDerstitiOn.

The following superstltions, handed
down by tradition, are yet fervently be-
lieVed in many parts of America:
White specks on the nails are luck
Whoever reads epitaphs loses hissnem-
Dry.
To rock the cradle when empty is in
furious to the child.
To eat while a bell is tolling for a
funeral causes toothache.
The Growing Of hen indicates some

When asmOUse gnaWs hole some mis-
fortune may be apprehended.
He who has teeth wide asunder must
seek his fortune in a distant land.
Whoever finds a fsUr-leaf trefOil-
shamrock-should wear it for good luck.
Beggars' bread should be given to
children who are slow learning to speak.
If a child less than twelve months old
be brought into a cellar he becomes
fearful.
When children play soldier on the
roadside it forebOdes the approach of
war.
A child grows proud if suffered to
look into the mirror while less than
twelve months old.
He who proposes moving into new
house must first send in bread and a
new broom.
Whoever sneezes at an early hour
either hears some news or receives some
present the same day.
The first tooth cast by child should
be swallowed by the mother to insure a
new growth of teeth.
Buttoning the coat awry, or drawing
on a stocking inside out, causes matters
to go wrong during the day.
BY bending the head to the hollow of
the arm the initial letter Of ones future

Women who SOW fax-seed should,
during the process, tell some COMPOUNDED
lies; otherwise the yarn will never
bleach white.
When women are stuffing beds, the
men should not remain in the house,
otherwise the feathers will come through
the ticks.
When a person enters a room he
SHOULD be obliged to sit down, if only
for moment, as he otherwise takes
away the children's sleep with him.
The following are Omens of death: A
dogs scratching on the floor or bowling
in peculiar manner, and owls hoOting

Domestic harmony must be preserved
when washing-day comes, in order to in
sure fine weather, which is indispensable,
as that ceremony is usually performed
out of doors.

Joe Hooker and the COnfederates.

How it came about that 5000 Confed-
crate soldiers cheered Justify for eight
ing Joe Hooker" is explained by the
editor of the Rural San NASHVILLE,
Tenn, who was a prisoner at Rock
Island, ILL.,, during the severe winter of
1863-64. The General visited the mill
tary prison one day, and all the inmates
were drawn up in line for Inspection.
His keen eyes seemed to scan every
man from head to heel, as he slowly
passed before them, and at the upper
end of the lines the party halted. The
General, bslf-wheeling his horse, lifted
his plumed hat with as much kpightly
grace as if they had all been couftiers,
and a soft expression passed over his
face as he said: " Young gentlemen,
am sorry, very sorry for you, and hope
soon our differences will be settled 50
that you all can return safely home
again" Simple as the expression was,
it was so different from those they had
been accustomed to hearing from the
commander of the prison that it touched
the hearts of the ragged Rebs," like. a
current of electricity, and instantly
three thousand threats gave lusty
cheer for Joe Hooker.

Living Without Eating.

DIR. VIM. A, Hammond, of New
York, has been challenged to submit
his theories about the length of time a
human being can live without physical
nOurishment to public test. The
challenge has been made through a
Minnesota paper by DR.. H. S. Tanner,
of Minneapolis, who offers himself as
the subject of the test. DR.. Tanner
claims to be able to live in comfort with
out food for at least thirty days, and
that he has twice publicly submitted to
a test, each time maintaining his CON
seriousness, health and the ability to take
physical exercise, although totally alb
staining from food for the extraordinary
period of fOrty-twO day. He asserts
that DR.. Hammond is ali wrong in his
published opinions about the power of
the human system to endure long fasts.
DIR. Hammond, however, says he never
claimed under any circumstances that it
was impossible for a human being tOlive
without food for thirty days. There
are over a dozen we'll authenticated
cases of persons living forty days and
over, without food. Men have been
confined in coal mines and lived at least
thirty days without food. Men have
lived without food more than thirty
days while buried in avalanches. In
sane persons have lived without food
for even longer terms. So have hysteri-
cal women. DR.. Hammond says if DR..
Tanners proposition includes abstinence
from water, he is inclined to deny the
possibility of its being successfully car
ried out, and that he will gladly accept
Dr. Tanners proposition for the test.

A Cure of Deafness,

A San Francisco printer, who has
been deaf for thirty years, now hears as
we'll as anybody. Seven weeks ago ne
was troubled with pains in his head
while he was setting type. He described
these symptoms to his physician, who,
having long made a specially of para
lytic diseases, conceived the idea that the
deafness of mis- patient might be the re-
suit of paralysis. The printer refused
to be treated, saying that he had spent
all the money he had ever earned
in the useless endeavors to have his deaf
ness removed, and did not care to make
any further attempts in that direction.
But when the doctor offered to treat him
six months, if necessary, free of charge,
he consented to the proposition. A species
of liniment was applied to his throat
and ears. He was giving mixture for
gargling, and supplied with a little
medicine for internal use. The course
of treatment was continued for two or
three days before any effect became ap'
parent. Previous to this time he had
been so deaf that the discharge of can
non within a few feet of him did not
disturb him. One morning he was
awakened by sound-the first he had
heard for thirty years. He was delirious
with ioy. He dressed himself, kissed
the landlady, shook hands with the land
lord, and slapped his feilow-boarders on
the shoulder. It was sometime before
he could explain the cause of his
ecstacies. He pointed to his ears. He
tried to speak, but the organs of speech,
inactive for so many years, could not do
his bidding. At last he made himself
understood to the amazed bystanders,
and they knew that his noisy rejoicing
was occasioned by partial restoration
of his hearing. Since that time the ply
stefan has continued his wonderful
and the deafness of his patient
is gradually disappearing.

Editing a NeMsnaper.

There are people who think it an easy
matter to edit newspaper; there are
chose who think any man of education
can succeed in the profession. But the
truth is, there are comparatively few
men who succeed in it, and for tho
reason that they do not regard it as a
profession, requiring study and prerar6-
ton. It is also a laborious profession
when pursued with industry sufficient
to insure success. The Boston Post fur
nishes paragraph which gives a great
deal of truth in a few lines: A good
editor, a competent newspaper conduc-
tor is, like a general or poet, born, not
made. On the London daily papers, all
the great historians, noVelists, poets,
essayists and writers of travels have
been tried, and nearly all have failed.
We might say all, for after display of
brilliancy, brief, but grand, they died
out, literally. Their resources were ex-
hausted. Z" I can" said late editor of
the Times to Moore, " find any number
of men of genius to write for me, but
very seldom one of common sense"
The Thunderers in the Times, there
fore, have so far as we know been men
of common sense. Nearly all successful
editors have been men of this descrip-
ton. Cambell, Carlyle, Bulwer and
Disraeli failed. Barnes, Sterling and
Philips succeeded. A good editor sell
dom writes for his paper; he reads,
Judges, selects, dictates, alters and COM
bines; and to do all this well, he has
but little time for composition. To
write for a paper Is one thing, to edit a
paper is another.
