The Unwritten side Of Great Men.

Ave always think of great men as in
the act Of performing great deed,
which give them renown, or else III
stately repose, grand, silent and mil
jcstic. And yet this is hardly fair,
because the most gracious and magnifi-
cent OF human beings have to bother
themselves with the little things of life
which engage the attention Of us small
CT people. No doubt Moses snarled
and got angry when he had severe
cold in his head, and if fly bit his
leg what while he was in the Desert,
why should we suppose he did not jump
and use violent language, and rub the
sore place? And CGesar-isn't 1t tolcr-
ably certain he used to become furious
when he went up stairs 10 get his slip
pers in the dark, and found that Cal
phurnia, had showed them under the
bed 81 that be had showed them under
the bed so that he had to sweep
around them wildly with broOm-han-
die? And when Solomon cracked his
crazy bone, Is it unreasonable to sup
pose, that he ran around the room, and
felt as if he wanted to cry? Imagine
George Washington sitting on the edge
Of the bed putting OH IA shirt, and
growlingat Martha because the buttons
were off; or st. Augustine with an
apron around his neck having his hair
cut or Joan of Arc holding her front
hair i'll her mouth, as women do, while
she fixed her back hair; Napoleon
jumping out of bed in frenzy to
chase Il mosquito around the room with
a pillow; or Martin Luther in Il night
shirt trying to put the baby to sleep
at 2 o'clock in the morning Alexan-
der the Great with the hiccoughs; OF
Thomas Jefferson getting suddenly over
a fence to avoid a dog; or the Duke OF

AN EXTRAORDINARY DISEASE
i White Infant Turns as Black as q
NegrO-The Disease Rare One.

| PHILADELPHIA, June 1S.-For
over sixteen months an uptown physi-
elan has been attending Il case of dis
ease that Is 50 rare that the like Of it
has never been known, or, at least,
recorded in medical works. 1t is a
case of real melanOsis, or pigmenta-
ton, where the pigment, which gives
color to the hair and eyes, pervadcs
! the whole body. A boy born Of white
parents, and perfectly natural in color
at his birth, turned under the disease
as black rs It full-blooded negro. The
| parents live at No. 1907 Lemon
street, the father, John Salter, being
mechanic. Ten months after his
marriage there was born to the couple
fine and apparently healthy boy.
The infant tlrived and promised to
| develop into Il robust man. He was
beautiful child, with fair complexion,
dark eyes and silky dark brown hair,
which grew in prOfusion. But In
few days the parents were alarmed at
remarkable change that was coming
over the child. He gradually grew
dark. At first his skin became pale
yellow, then deepened into a saffron
hue, and then, to the terror of the pa
ernts, grew darker vet. The color
was uniform all over the body, except
at the joints. were it was little dark
er, and in the palms of the hands
where it was lighter The once brown
hair grew stiff and jet black, and the
eyes also grew darker, so that the line
between the pupils and the iris could
not be distinguished In spite of
medical treatment the boy became
worse, and grew very weak, all the
time the color Of his skin deepening.
At last he became as black. as a full
blo0ded negro. Then he was attack
ed by convulsions, which grew more
frequent and violent until they threat
ened the child's life. 1t was in one of
these that DR.. Reynolds was called in. |
He succeeded in curing the spasms, !
and then devoted his attention to the |
strange disease which afflicted the
child. He ut once recognized it as
melanOsls or pigmentation, which is /.

way, but there is no case given where |
it had developed all through the body. |

use Of alcoholic liquors produces pau

And first, answer, by the direct
outlay. The amount spent for drink
is about $500, 100000. If there are,
5,0G0,OO0 who drink; each, would
spend S12O n year. This calculation,
though not exact, shows bow, the earn
ings Of the multitude are dissipated.

TALES OF FORREST's ESCORT.

The Annals Of the Army Of Tennessee.
The names of few Of FORESTS Escort
have ever appeared in the gazette Of
lis many desperate battles and combats.
As body of horsemcn, having no SUI
perior in any age, its fame is wildly
known, but history has never recorded
their names even, or given TO its mem
bers the individuality on which that
fame rests for its basis. This corps
WAS not a niachineO of simply trained
soldiers, delivering its blows compactly,
but each member was host in himself,
ready to act single-handed in any emer-
gency, and to perform intelligently the
work at hand in the most efficient
manner.
We will select for this sketch the
name of q. w. Cooper, as the most
available at present, and as Il fair type
of the rest of this body. He was q
stalwart blonde, who joined the com
pany At sixteen, and passed unscathed
through most. of its eventful struggles.
With Col. Jeffrey Forrest he headed
the mad pursuit of Grierson's raiders
after the latter was driven out Of Okla
Iona. Col. Forrest, Cooper, and sev-
eral others, being splendiCtfY mounted,
kept in advance and were constantly
engaged in hand to-hand conflicts with
the enemy's rear guard At one time
desperate struggle took place for the
possession of Il Federal flag. One OF
Its bearers being shot, its folds caught
in an ovcrhanging limb, and the staff
was dragged from his nervless grasp
another seeing its danger, returned un-
der hot fire and succeeded III bearing
it off, but was himself killed 4 few
minutes later. At length it fell iuso
the hands of the pursuers, after two of
its guard had been killed and several
wounded.
The pressure of pursuit had now be
come so great that a heavy force was
halted and put in strong position, tc

"MOTHER'S FOOL"

'Tis plain to me, said a farmers wife,
"Those boys will make their mark in life
They never were made to handle a hoe,
And at once to college they ought to go.
There's Fred-he's little better'n fool,
But john and Henry MUST go to school"
Wei. really, wife,o quote farmer Brown,
AS he sat his mug Of cider down;
erred does more work in day for nae
Than both his brothers do in three.
Book lunin' will never plant ones corn,
Nor hoe potatoes, sure's your born
Nor mend rod OF broken fence,
For my part give me common sense"
But his wife was bound the roost to rule,
And John and Henry were sent to school;
While Fred, OF course, was left behind,
For his mother SAID he had no mind.
Five years at school the students spent,
Then into business each one went.
JOHN learned to play the flute and fiddle,
And parted his hair, of course, in the mid
die,
While his brother looked rather higher
than he,
And hung out sign, I'll. Brown, VI. D."
Meantime, at home, their brother Fred,
Had taken a notion into his head;
But he quietly trimmed his apple trees,
And weeded his onions and planted his
peas;
While, somehow, either by hook or crook,
Hemanaged to read full many book,
Until, at last, his father said:
lie was getting "booll Iarnin'" into his
head;
"But for all that" said Farmer Brown,
He's the smartest boy there is in town"
The war broke out, and Captain Fred
One hundred men to the battle led;
And when the Southern flag came down,
He came marching home as General Brown.
He went to work on his farm again,
And plowcd the ground and sowed the
grain,
Rcsningled the barn and mendcd the fence,
And the people declared he had common
sense.
Now common sense was very rare,
And the Statc-house needed a portion there,
So the family Ounce" moved into town,
And the people called him GovcrnorBrown;
And the brothers; who went to the city
school,
Came home to live with "GIothcr's Fool"

is now at the head Of this College
writes: sDr. Lee, including his fam.
: ily, has superior fllcilities for teaching.
Mrs, Lee is an educated teacher in
English branches, including the high
ef Mathematics. Mrs. Baldwin, the
sister Of Mrs.sLee, Is one of the best
teachers I have ever Known; admira-
bic in Mathematics, all the way up ;

several years our Householder, that

might search long to find her equal.
Her daughter, Miss NfilIie Baldwin, is
very smart, has studied almost every
thing and is an accomplished perform
er OH the Piano, and f;sniliarwith the
science of Music. She also sings well.
but she plays better, for she plays re-
nlarkably well and with fine execution.
* x x x DIR. Lee is very enthusi-
astic in what he undertakes and likes
to have everything perfect in the fix
lures and machinery of a school. He
is hard and faithful worker, and a
sincere Christian man."
Mr.. FarnswoFth, of Topeka, writes
''Dr. J. n. Lee was connected with
Bethany College for several years as
principal, and financial manager. He
was successful as such, and especially
when you consider how many obstacles
he had to overcome in this new coun-
try. The Institution continued TO
grow under his care, and was in Il
prosperous condition when he resigned.
Dr. Lee is an earnest and devoted
worker in the cause Of Christianity and
Education. In conclusion, allow me
to say that in my best Judgment, you
will be fortunate in securing so able
and good a man, to place ot the head
of so worthy an Institution"
