AFTER EIGHTEEN YEARS
DIVORCED HUSBAND AND WIFE RE
UNITED.
Chattanooga Times, 20th.

] Chattanooga Times, 2Oth.
! Mr.. John Walraven, the head binder
of the Times Bindery, yesterday receiv-
ed the tidings of the reconciliation of
his mother and father, which affords
one of the strangest stories that has ever
come under our observation. The fol
lowing are the facts about as relat d by
Mr.. Walraven to our reporter
His father, Mr.. Elijah Walraven, en-
listed in the Confederate army in 1868,
as private, at Marietta, Ga. His
family then consisted of a beautiful
young wife and three children. When
he returned home at the close of the
war his wife and three children were
not to be found. He learned that she
had been persuaded, when the Federals
occupied that country, that her safety
was In going North. For some time
no .tidings came of her whereabouts,
when at last he heard that they were
living in Kentucky. He was such an
ardent rebel that lie could not go to
them with any degree of safety, and
his wife refused to return to her des
erted and devastated home, and from
this disagreement he instituted proceed
ings for divorce, which was granted.
Mr.. Walraven shortly afterwards mar
ried a worthy lady of Marietta, and his
divorced wife, about the same time, |
was joined in marriage to a gentleman
residing near her Kentucky home, and |
a child resulted from both marriages. |
By some strange coincidence, both /
second husband and wife ,died during
the month of November, 1878. During
the period elapsing between the suit
for divorce, 1865, and 1873, neither
party had heard word from the other.
About the time of the death Of his
5tepfather. Mr.. Walraven left for Ma

! Character is the sum of qualities that
distinguishes one person or thing from
another. Every object in nature has
character as a divine gift, incapable of
improvement, except man.
The late Mrs. Jennie McGraw Fiske,
wife of Prof Fiske, of Cornell College,

healthy; his face is round, his cheeks
are full, his eyes are bright and lis gait
firm and decided. He sleeps by day and
he sleeps at night, and soundly too, for
having all he wishes, he has nothing to
care for.
A person who has once forfeited the
reputation for integrity is never belieV-
ed when he speaks truthfully, nor trus-
ted when he acts honestly. It takes as
much labor to make the pretence of
having good qualities, as it does to poss-
ess them, and, if this deception is dis
covered, then all is lost.
The wonders of this age is the prog

ther. a dashing, noisy, turbulent wo-
man is a rarity THANK God.
The word book comes from the Saxon
hos, meaning beech. The Saxons usually
wrote upon heecher boards. The ablest
books in existence are those brought
from the ruins of the palace of Royun-

The Ten Commandments were written
on states of stone. In very early times
the people wrote upon papyrEs, with a

Earth presents no higher object of
attainment than to be true man or la
dy. To be this they must first possess
that character which places them above
all trlf1ing and insignificant acts. A
good and noble character is the most
precious above all things; and the work
of making this is the noblest labor on
earth. Great characters are made up of
little acts.

A HREAP FILTER.

Says an exchange A correspondent
wants to know of some cheap filter for
water, which can be improvisad in
every family, if necessary. A cheap
alter can be made of thick cotton cloth,
doubled if necessary, or Gotten flannel,
made into bag and tied over the
faucet. This will, if the water is not
let on too foreihly, cleanse it of most Of
the impurities which are held mechant-
,cally in combination with it; but it
will not deodorize it or wholly remove
the disagreeable taste that now pre-
Vades the the water. Only charcoal, as
flltering material, is readily aYrilable
for that purpose. A cheap charcoal
filter may be made by pounding char
coal fine, aud packing it tightly in the
bottom of 4 wooden pail or keg, into
which a wooden faucet, with the inner
end covered with cloth, can be intro
iuced near the bottom. The inner end
can be further protected by surround
ing OF coarse charcoal. The water will,
however, percolate through this mass
slowly, for it will have only the "head"
Or pressure afforded by the space above
he charcoal which latter, by the way,
ahould be kept from floating, when the
waiter is first put in, by some oontri-
vance, such as piece Of cnarse cloth.
The Gotten cloth filter is the most prac-
gioal, and for all ordinary purposes will
be found amply sufficient-as a good
in practice as the most expensive filter.
When the inside has become foul from
it can be turned and
used over again. In this way filter
of this kind can be used for an sndef-

A Washington special says the
fact has been made known to some
of the Republican senators that a
number of Democratic senators are
SO much disgusted with the course
pursued by David Davis to secure
the position of president pro ten,P0re
of the senate, that they would be
well pleased to see the Republicans
undertake to elect Mr. Anthony or
some other gentleman in place Of
Davis. They say this can be readi-
ly accomplished, since if the attempt
is made several Democrats viii re-
frain from voting or be necessarily
absent, and thus give the Republi-
cans chance to cast a majority
vote for their candidate. Good
Democrats are authority for the
statement that if the Republicans
try this plan it will be made sue
