A REBEL RELIC
General Bolton Relieved OF q Bullet by q
Coughing Spell.

General William J. Bolton, of Norris
town, Pa, was on Saturday relieved of a confeder-
ate bullet in his neck, which has been source of
pain for seventeen years past. While colonel OF
the Fifty first Regiment of Pennsylvania Veteran
Volunteers, and awaiting orders on mound at
the time of the famous mine explosion at Peters
burg, July 30 1864, confederate canister-shel ex-
ploded near him. and small bullet entered his
lower right jaw at the yer point where he had re-
ceived bullet wound several years previous at
the battle of Antietam. DR.. William c. Sherlock,
the regiments skilled surgeon, probed for the bull
let, but was unsuccessful. Several weeks later Dr.
Sherlock made forty distinct incisions, with the
hope of extracting the confederate lead but with
out success. Since then General Bolton felt pain
and oppression in his neck, especially during
damp weather. Of late the pain was more in
tense, and he felt some sharp object cutting its
way toward his throat-pieces of his shattered
'awbone, he thought. Yesterday while waiting
on customer in his store he had occasion to
stoop and was Immediately taken with violent
fitof coughing Placing his hand instinctively
over his mouth something dropped into his hand.
On removing the blood and mucous covering the
object he found it to be the painful little ball OF
confederate cast-iron. 1t was covered with rust,
weighed 273 grains troy, and its surface was
covered with sharp ridges. General Bolton prizes
his relic very highly.

Girls as Barometers.

Professor MacGTegor, of the Royal
Society. has been making experiments to
test the value Of girls as barometers, and
finds thatthe bangs of fbrown-halred ladies
from sixteen to forty-five are infallible
indicators of the approach ofwet weather,
as they become limp and straight. The
bangs of red-haired girls he found to be-
come stiff and bristfing when thunder
storm was brewing, and when he at
tempted to smooth down these bristling
bangs he received a violent electric shock
iii the region Of the ear We have heard
of men who went fooling round red
headed girls receiving a shock on the
ear, but it was usually the result of the
contact Of the palmar surface of the good
right hand of the aforesaid red-headed
girl with the auricuiar organ of the male
investigator; but we have never heard
this conclusion called an electric shock.
However, we won't quarrel with the pro-
fessor as to his use of terms.
The most important point relative
to this discovery is his recon-
mendations as to its practical application.
He advises that the present barometers
be done away with upon all vessels, both
coasters and ocean steamers, and that
fair, brown-haired girls be substituted
therefor; that the brown-haired girls so
substituted be required to wear bangs,
and that the bangs be crimped every
night. and any failure on the part
of said brown-haired girls. so substituted,
to wear bangs and to crimp said bangs
every night while at sea shall be con-
sldered as a high crime and misdemeanor,
and be punished as such. To prevent in
jury to these brown-haired barometers,
We would suggest that they be placed in
glass cases. open, of course, at the top for
air. This would be especially necessary
on board man-of-war, where there are
so many who would desire to inspect the
barometer, from the youngest midship-
man TO the equity admiral. 1t is believed
that the quarterback officers would
monopolize the barometer. and to oblige
the ward-room a red-headed girl
might be done up in a glass
case and placed therein. Accord
ing to Professor MacGregor she would not
be of much use as a barometer on account
Of her excessive electricity, but she could
be utilized N giving the junior officers
shocks when they became too hilarious.
1t is suggested that a board be convened,
composed Of the oldest and most expert
enced admiials, with a young marine

a Big Claim Against spain.

At the meeting Saturday afternoon OF
the Spanish American Claims Commission at the
State Department, Count Lewenhaupt, the umpire,
rendered decision in the case of Joseph E. NJ.
Macias, naturalized citizen of the United States,
who claimed from the Spanish government dam
ages to the amount of 100000, principal and in
teres for losses caused by the seizure of his PLAN
tation, near Matanzas in 1869. His United States
citizenship admitted, were the general facts
of the case, the plantation having been seized
under misapprehension as to its ownership. The
arbtrators having failed to agree upon the amount,
the case was submitted to the umpire, who rem
dered a decision Saturday awarding the claimant
principal and interest amounting to S225,OOO. The
letter of Mr. Durant upon the naturalization ques-
tions raised in former decision will be submitted
to Count Lewenhaupt to-day, when, it is under
stood, it will be made public through the press.
