A. WAR RELIC.
A Minnie Ball Spit Up by Mr..
Croft After Carrying 1t
Eighteen Years.

Marietta Journal: Mr.. Ira Croft
was a gallant Confederate soldier
In the late war, and during the sew
en- days fight around Richmond,
Virginia, in the month of July,
1852, he received a severe wound. a
missile striking him on the left
cheek, just under the eye, shatter-
ing the bones and decorating the
flesh terribly. 1t was not consider
ed possible for recovery to take
place. The doctors were unable to
find the missile, and gave it as
their opinion that it wss q piece of
a shell, and had passed out. Mr..
Croft did recover, however, the
wound healed up, leaving an honor
able scar on his cheek, srmilar to
the one that scars the cheek of the
noble and brave Gen. John B. Cor
don. The war over, Mr.. Croft re-
turned to the peaceful avocatlon Of
the farm. He has experienced no
pain from the wound during the
many years since it was inflicted.
A few days ago Mr.. Croft's throat
became painfully sore, and he was
almost unable to swallow anything.
His throat was doctored and every
thing done to afford relief. On
Monday night last, Mr.. Croft felt
something in his throat which he
tried to eject, and in one Of his eff
forts, he spit up an ounce minnie
ball, evidently the one that Is years
ago made such fearful wound on
his cheek. This Is q wonderful and
remarkable occurrence, and we give
it because il is true,

Broad Streak of Luck.

New HAVEN, CONN, Jan. "a
Roelloff Won Barren, a Hollander,
who has resided in New Haven
with his wife and child for six
months has fallen heir to an i'm
mense fortune by the death of bis
great-grand uncle, Heinrich Spier.
Of Rotterdam, who bequeaths him
his property. Last week Heinrich
Van Barren, half brother TO Roellof,
came to this city direct from Rot
terdam, accompanied by VIM. A.
Beach, a Newark lawyer, and, Ro-
ellof says, told him OF his good for
tune and offered him $4,000 in
cash if he would make him manager
Of his estate, Heinrich to pay Roel-
loft twenty five hundred dollars
weekly. This offer was refused.
and Roellof has since received let
ters from Mr.. Mayer, Of Rotter
dam, and two notaries who drew the
will IN form TOR him, that the estate
LETT him is estimated at between
$25, 100000 ond $40 100000. IL is
said the property is 40 accumUla-
ton Of several generations and in
cludes, besides an immense amount
Of real and personal property, two
ship yards and a feet of 10 vessels.
Won Barren goes TO New York to
morrow to meet Mayer and the no
taries, who are said to have arrived
there to consult with him. Won Ba-
rem is about 80 years OF age, and
says he was formerly Catholic
priest, entering upon that calling
at the wish of his father and other
relations, but after serving three
years renounced his religion against
their wishes. He further says that
in an alteration with half brother
over the matter he was stabbed, and
drawing his own knife, killed his
half brother in self defense, and
acting under the advice of the au
thoritIes. he went to London, where
he married an English woman, and
lived under the name OF John Spier,
q name be has retained in this coun-
try. When no arrived in New Ha-
ven he was pennilsss, and his ap
peals for aid TO his relatives being
disregarded, and unable 10 get
work he has lived mainly on charity.

spiracy to kidnap and imprison
Charlie Ross and extort a ransom

Communication for good behavior.
Westervelt was the brother-in-law

Douglas, was killed at Bay Ridge,
Long Island, while attempting to
rob the house of Judge Van Brunt.
Before Douglass died he confessed
they were the abductOrs of Charlie
Ross. Westervelt was induced to
come to this city and tell what be
knew about the case, and was ar
rested and imprisoned. He stated
that he does not thing the chilo is
dead, and believes that it will be
restored soon. He intends to fol
low up a clew that has never been
worked, and says if has time he is
certain OF success.

Water SpectacIes.

DR.. Dudgson d0serihes o., irnPar-
tanL invention he made some time
ago in spectacles. These are called
diving spectacles, but this name
does not express their utility, as
they may be used without diving.
They are spectacles designed for
seeing under water while the eye
is in contact with the water as in
ordinary free diving. The lenses Of
these speotacles are not glass lem
ses. but air lenses of sufficient mag
nifying power when immersed in
water to restore the retroactive pow
er the eye loses when in contact
with the water. These lenses In
no way affect vision IN the air, but
only in the water. They show the
diver in clear water everything in
the water as distinctly as IL the OBJ
jects were in the air and seen with
the naked eye. When swimming,if
the face be immersed below the sur
face of the water, these spectacles
enable the wearer TO see with per-
feet distinctness everything at the
bottom of the water or In the water;
under similar conditions the naked
eye sees nothing distinctly.

LOgan's Campaign for Grant.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Gen. Lo
gan has announced that he will
move TO take up the Grant bill ev
cry morning, il he had to fight it
out on that line all the session.
When he made the motion this
morning Mr.. Lamar (Dem. Miss. J
came to his aid. He said that he
presumed that had Gen. Grant at
any time when General OF the Army
asked to be retired in accordance
with his rank, no one would have
objected. The policy of the Gov
eminent in retiring its great Gener-
ais and Admirals was, he thought,
a proper one. 1t meant that such
officers should devote their lives
to their great duties, and that in re-
turn the country shall secure their
honorable and adequate indepen-
dence. So far from Directing to it
he was willing to extend the princi-
pie. Gen. Grant ought not to be
deprived of retirement because he
had left his place as General to be
come President at the call OF the
people.
A vote being taken Mr.. Logan's
moton was rejected by yeas % to
nays 2S-a party vote, except that
Mr.. Lamar with Davis Ind. Ill.
voted yea with the Republicans.

The Sleepy Disease.

We have encountered two cases
of "narcolepsy," One was q lieu
tenant of cavalry in the confederate
army. Before the war he was q
dry goods merchant, and since the
war he has returned to his store.
His narcolepsy dates from child
hood. When selling goods, in the
midst of conversation, and even
while drinking a whisky toddy, we
have known him to fall asleep. In
few seconds or moments he would
awake apparently UNCONSCIOUS that
he had slept. A confederate gener-
al of great intellect, an enormously
obese man, was the second case.
If talking when the sleep came on,
these gentlemen would, on waking
resume where they left Off Lou

Fashionable Preacher GObbled.

A Eoston special says: "Rev. j.
Condor, leading ecclesiastic of
Montreal, who, during the past
week, has been taking in the sights
at Washington, appeared here to-
to-day, and has had considerable
experience among the bunko men
of that provincial city. A few
evenings since he fell in with sew
eral well dressed Senators" and
'"members of Congress- attended
one of their receptions at gor-
geous house on Pennsylvania ave
nue., and was induced to bet his
pile on one of three cards of a
monte pack. He was so sure of
winning that he bet 81 100, all the
ready cash he had with him, and
put up in lieu of the 81, 100 check
drawn on Kidder, Peabody 81 Co,
on State street here, and by whom

soon after, realizing that he had

to see a man present the check, but
upon fastening on to him found he
was Daniel White, messenger of the
Adams Express here, which concern
was given the check for collection
by n man in Washington. The
bankers and officers were disposed
to hold ihe check, but Waldo Ad
Adams, - head of the Company,
on demand, attended with no lit {
unpleasant feeling, finally got il
back, he claiming that the Compa

Aaron V. Brown.

Nashville Herald: just to think
of it, that in 1S20-1, Aaron v.
Brown held the honored position of
Recorder of Pulaski, Giles county,
Tenn. While holding that position
he was honored and loved, but as
soon as the people learned that he
had so far forgotten himself and
them, as to squat so low as TO
run for Governor, they Immediately
began to SANDER and villIfy his past
political life. But he, who is now
numbered with the dead, did not
stop at the Govern orshIp, but be-
lieving that it was the desire OF his
people, lie descended one more
round of fame's ladder, and accent
ed the position of Postmaster Cen
eral, which could not have been
much of place, as Maynard now
holds it.

Advice to Young Ladies.

John Ruskln gives the tottqYlng
advice to young ladies': elm order
to investigate one's-self,it is well to
find out what one Is now. Don't
think vaguely about it. Take pen
and paper and write down as accu-
rate description of yourself as
possible; and If you dare not, find
out why you dare not, and try to
get strength of heart enough to look
Yourself in the face, mind as well
as body. Always have two mirrors
on your dressing table, and with
proper care dress mind and body at
the same time. Put your best in
telligence TO finding out what you
are good for, and what you can be
made into. The mere resolve not
to be useless, and the honest desire
to help other people will, in the
quickest and most delicate way i'm
prove one's-self. Accomplishments
should be considered as mean x
assisting Others. In music get the
voice disciplined and clear, and thin +
only of accuracy; expression and Ell
feet will take care OF themselves.
So in drawing; learn TO Sc down the
right shape of anything, and thereby
explain its character to another per
son, but if you try only to make
snowy drawings for praise, or pretty
ones for amusement, your drawing
will have little or no real interest
for YOU, and no educational power.
Resolve to do each day something
useful. Learn the economy of the
kitchen, the good and bad qualities
OIL every common article of food, and
the simplest and best modes of their
preparation; help poor families IN
their cooking-show them how to
make as much of everything as pos
sible, and how to make little nice
dishes, cosxing and tempting them
into tidy and pretty ways, and plead
ing for well folded table cloths, how
ever coarse, and for flower or TWO
out of the garden to strew on them.
One should, at the end OF every day,
be able to say, as proudly as any
peasant, that she has not eaten the
bread of idleness.
Get quite out of the absurd idea
that heaven will interfere to cor
rect great errors, while allowing
it's laws to take their own course in
Furnishing small ones. If food is
carefully prepared, no one except
Providence can make it palatable /;
neither, if through years OF folly
you misguide your own life, need
you expect divine interference to
bring around every thing at last for
the best / tell you positively, the
world Is not so constituted. The
consequences of great mistakes
are just as sure as those of small
ones, and the happiness of your
whole lite, and of all the lives over
which you have power, depends
as literally on your common sense
and discretion as the excellence
and order of day."

A successful New York dairy
man states his methods briefly: Set
the milk about twenty-iour hours.
Temperature of spring from forty
six to fifty degrees. In milking 6e
cleaDses his cows udders, uses clean
pals and does not allow the milk to
remain long in the stables, which
are cleaned daily. Churns at a
temperature of sixty to sixty-three
degrees. The butter is worked il
the graduated state mainly. In
hot weather the first washing is
with brine, the next with pure wa
ter, His herd is about one half
Jerseys or Attorneys. His average
per COW was 227 pounds this sea-
son, this including several heifers.
The average product was sos 81 for
butter sold from thirty cows. Had
sold from 20 to 80 cents per
pound this year.

Tall Story.

The story is current in Harlem
that an old man resident was al
most the victim of internal combus-
ton the other day. He was suf-
fering from rheumatism, and was
told that kerosene oil internally
would relieve him. He swallowed
a wine -glassiul, and soon feeling
better, filed his pipe for comfor-
table smoke. AS he lighted it he
saw blue fame playing between
the match and his lips, and felt a
singing sensation within his
mouth and throat. Hastily blow
ing on the match his breath iguited
and ribbon of the flame extended
the distance OF a yard from his lips,
while the burning within increased.
He Immediately closed his mouth
and placed his fingers on his nos
lrils, thus extinguishing the flames.
He believes that but for his presence
of mind he would have met a horri-
Die death. Some of his neigS bors be
lieve so too; others are soeptical
about the occurrence.

A Clergyman Loses His Educa-
tiOn.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
One of the strangest cases known
in medical history-in fact there
are but about one half q dozen such
cases reported in the world-has
just been presented by the Rev.
Marcus Ormond, OF Pennsylvania,
who is among friends in Rushville.
He was a few months ago, amoLg
the most eloquent and profound ex-
Founders of the Gospel In the Pres
byterian Church, and on returning
to his town in Pennsylvania one day
be found that his house, library
and everything he had had been
consumed by fire. A day or SO af
terward he was stricken with
brain fever. He recovered his
health, hut his memory was liter
ally gone. He had no language,
and didn't even know his letters.
His wife at once began to teach
him the alphabet, and he can now
read a little. He seems to be
cheerful and contented, lacking
nothing but what he once learned
at school. He is, in appearance, a
gentleman of intelligence. He
hopes to again get back to where
he jumped off so suddenly.

Vineland, New Jersey, has a pop
ulation of ten thousand; absolute
prohibition is the law of that com
munity. One constable, who is al
80 overseer of the poor, is sufficient
to maintain public order. In 1875,
his annual report says: 1--WE have
no debt, the police expenses OF
Vineland amount to seventy five
dollars year; and our poor expen-
ses are a trifie. In mauy parts of
England and Scotland, there is To-
cal prohibition, and the uniform
testimony as TO the absence of pau
perism and crime, is as unequlvo-
cal as that given above.

In the foreground is Mrs. Shocks.
Before her is a tub and one of the
orphans ls struggling in the water.
The artist has seized upon the mo
ment when the infant has just
opened his mouth for a prolonged
solo, but is dexterously checked by
his mother swabbing his voice with
sponge. The manner in which q
stream OF soap water is represented
running into the urchin's right eye
is very finely done. In the other is
thrown all the added emotion of
pent-up-gr and sorrow that
knows no tongue" We defy any
man to see this picture without be-
ing stirred to his inmost depths.
1t is such an expression of motherly
love, housewifely zeal and beautiful
devotion to duty that can be- lik-
ened tC nothing except that seen
upon the face OF our mothers on
wash days and at house cleaning
times.
Three of the children have al
ready been washed. Their rosy
countenanecs, bright and exuberant
health, have been further height
ened by the art Of the Inner, who
has depicted them suffering with
colds as one result of their bath.
At the same time their complexion
forms an agreeable contrast to the
three behind the tub who have not
yet been bathed. This is finely
done, and cost a world of labor.
The whole forms an agreeable
contrast to the naked cherubs sent
out by the religious press. 1t is a
domestic scene, full of holy Joy
and tranquIlized by a sweet and
dream like peace.
In order to convey the idea that
even ID so perfect a home as this
sorrow must enter, the artist has
depicted one of the children suffer
ing with the measles. The way in
which the measle blotches are
struggling with the dirt on his nose,
having captured the last named or
gan. is one of the sweetest things in
the chrome line that has ever been
presented.
We are now prepared to furnish
these ohrOmos to every subscriber
of the FL Paso Journal. We ap
pend a few certificates from promi-
nent individuals:
True to life. The very atmos-
phere smells of soap."- Henry
Ward Beecher.
81 assure you, on honor. that the
chrome is so natural that one OF my
children actually caught the meas
les from looking at it, Ben Butler.
"Reminds me of the time when
they used to wash me, now many
years ago" Susan B. Anthony.
"Send me $4,000 dozen of your
chrome, Washing the Children
We want to offer them as premi
ums."- Christian at Work.
We trust these testimonials are
sufficient. We could append many
thousands, but we forbear.
Now let the honest masses show
their appreciation of art by coming
up and taking the Journal.
