Charleston In the War.

The city of Charleston was under
siege 585 days, and for over five hun
dred days under fire. When Gilmore
got his Swamp Angel" planted and
sent word that he would open fire on the
city, the citizens of Charleston laughed
over the message. His guns were five
miles away, and the idea that he could
do any harm was too absurd to enter
tain.
1t is just midnight.
WRIT! S-s-s-s! Scream-rush-
bangl
Gilmore has sent his first shell into
the city. 1t strikes brick building
opposite the postof1ice and explodes
with crash which turns 5000 people
out OF bed Men who heard the horri-
bic screaming of that great shell as it
came over the waters of the bay will
never forget the sound.
In five minutes second one came, but
this failed to explode and is now on ex-
hibition at Major Willis Office on the
wharf. 1t just fits into and fills nail
key. BY the time the third one arrived
all Charleston was awake and full of
alarm and horror. This was the begin
ming of siege which has no parallel in
American warfare. Day after day
week after week-month after month,
with only intervals of few hours ut
a time for the guns to cool or some
new move to be made, the lombard
ment continued.
By and by the people became used to
the situation, and seemed to go to bed
without any more fear than would have
been shown in New York. While the
street cars ceased to run, all other bus
mess was transacted as usual, and dur
ing the hottest fire of the whole siege
men were loading vessels at the wharves,
various factories were running and
children were playing i'll the public
parks. Federal history pictures
Charleston in ruins and filled with woe
and desolation within thirty days after
Gilmore opened fire. AS matter of
fact business was not suspended for a
single hour. While few families left
the city, others came in, and after the
first fortnight the shells were looked
upon as matter of course, Probably
not more than thirty inhabitants were
killed by the missiles direct, and both
the big fires had their origin in other
causes. As Charleston began naughty,
imperious and defiant-so she remained
to the last, and wnen evacuated the
southern Confederacy was drawing its
last breath of life Detroit Free Press.

A Process of Cremation.

The body, covered with pail or
winding sheet, is placed in catafalque
in the chapel or reception hall, whence
it descends noiselessly by means of an
elevator to the crematory chamber.
This, by means of superheated air, has
been raised to o white heat at tenn
perature of about 800 degrees Fahren-
heit. When opened to receive the
body, the inrushing cold air cools this
chamber to a delicate rose tint, and the
body, after an hour in this bath of rosy
light, is completely decomposed, moth

per cent. of the original weight of

be comfortable. Old friends, or, if new
ones, nice ones; intelligent society with

One of the most remarkable men in
Camden is one-legged and one-armed
colored man named James Weeks. He
is strong, healthy man Of about forty
years of age, and evidently enjoys life
rs much az his more fortunate and phys
ically supplied brethren. The strange
part of the thing il that, although both
his left leg and his left arm are gone
entirely-they having been taken ont Mt
the sockets-he is able TO drive cart,
loading the vehicle as quickly and as
well as they who have all their limbs,
with sand or brick, and doing fully as
much work as any cart driver in tho
city. When asked how he came to lose
his limbs, he showed his worries, as a
broad grin spread over his rather gem
erous mouth, and said: "De war took
'em off You see, boss, was shot down
mt Port Hudson. i laid dere for hour
arter hour, and finlSin 1, Jim, you're u
cooked mig, shuah, case L only had u
piece of my lef' arm and none of the lef
leg WORT mentionin'. Putty soon, when
de scrimmage was all ODER, de men come
along for to pick up the wounded, and
/ seed DIR. Gross, a son of de old pro-
lessor at de Jefferson College, tink he
was. He JUS looked at me an den
passed on. Hold on, surgeon, said /,
cant you help fellah? Don't gone

walk Why said the doctah, you're
dead Dere amt no use tendin' to you.
But L sisted dat L was better'n two
dead men, and he 'cided to see what
could be done. When L came ont oh
dat hospital l was JUS like you see is
now. Dey took bofe limbs out foam
de body at de sockets"
He draws pension of $1S a month
from the Government, and says he has
no trouble making living and little
extra by driving cart. Twice each
year since the close of the war, Jim
goes to Philadelphia to see Prof.
Gross, who exhibits him to the stu
dents mt the Jefferson Medical College
as "Old Ironsides. That world-re-
nowned surgeon says that it is one of
the most remarkable cases that has ever
come to his knowledge, and he does not
believe that there is one man in mill
ion who could have gone through what
he has and still live. One-third of his
body was taken from him and the whole
course of the circulation of the blood
changed. Jim" gets around with ease
on his crutch and the remaining leg, il
matteriug very little whether he uses il
under his right arm or leaning against
his left side, where the arm-socket only
now is.-Cdmdel On. ~ Post.

Menlo Park, a graduate of Georgetown
College, ID. c., who was elected last
year to the California Assembly, and it
is said has Congressional aspirations,
though only 81 years old. A few years
ago he was clerk at Nevada mine at
500 a month. He was nephew of
VIM. Il. O'Brien, the bachelor bonanza
king. During the last illness of his nm
Gle, Jimmy nursed him and was re-
warded with gift of 100000, in addi-
ton to 100000 bequeathed in his will.
The uncle also made him executor of
his estate, which yielded in fees Si64,-
600. The whole value of Uncle Billy's
estate was little over $9.0O0,O00. After
the legacies were paid, the residue, was
turned over to Mr.. O'Brien's two sisters
Mrs. Coleman-"Jimmy mother
and Mrs. Joseph McDonough. The two
ladies inherited $4,000, 900 each.
