by the Gathering of is spoon. My
wife had no rest; there was q contin-

him; the soup might be too hot, and
he might eat too much! "Wife, said

quite chubby, sat comfortably OF the

powerfully at it's soup; and now, that

How War Makes Friends.
IErnaa The N Y TriI,nne l

The ex-Confedcrate General Gordon told an
interesting story about two interviews he held
with General Barlow. AT Sharpsburg Barlow
was apparently mortally wounded and fell into
Gordons hands. Gordon took liking to him
and asked if he could not do something for
Barlow. 81 think not, general" said the
young man / shall be buried here no doubt.
i do not expect to live. But you can do one
thing for me; here is a package of letters from
my wife which | wish you to destroy before my
eyes" Gordon, who was then a young man
also, took the letters and was about to destroy
them, when Barlow, with bubble at his throat,
murmured Would you take the trouble to
read me one Of them first? Any one will do'
Gordon opened one of the letters and read it to
the dying man-hs last friendly word per-
haps, from home. Then the letters were de-
stroyed. But the incident touched Gordon so
that he made special exertion to have Barlow
sent through the lines or to have his wife ad-
mitted to him. This being done, the two
armies fell apart and these men saw each other
no more. Gordon considered Barlow TO be
dead. Barlow had also seen that General
Gordon had been killed somewhere. They met
again at a friendly table in Washington, but
did not know each other through the changes
OF time After some lapse Gordon said g Gen
eral Barlow, are you relative of that Barlow
who was killed at Antietam? 2" NO." said
the general, +" am the same man, care you
any relative" inquired Barlow in turn, " of
that General Gordon who was recently killed
on the Confederate side?' "That was my
cousin. / am John b. Gordon" Then, at the
request of the persons who overheard, Barlow
told the tale amid tears and emotion on every

ave have been turning out about ton of
silver day for some time past" said Superin-
tendent SnOwden of the mint. "The most of
this is in dollars, and some small coin, notably
dimes. The demand for fve-cent nickels is q
little ahead of US, and although we turn out
$500 dollars worth day, weighing some $1,000
ounces. we find that we are behindhand, but
we viii catch up before the end of the week.
About three-quarters of ton of pennies are
manufactured daily. and they are in demand
as fast as made. 1t strikes me that the South
and West must be beginning TO use pennies
again, more especially the former. For some
years pennies were an almost unknown quantity
south of Washington, but they are gradually
creeping into circulation. We are not doing
more now than for months past, except that the
annual count is being made, and we are getting
ready to submit the annual report to the Direc-
tor of the Mint. Our fiscal year closes in few
days"

If Lit Up BY Fine Teeth

The plainest face becomes attractive. Although
ordinary dentifrices prove Intellectual to whiten
and improve the health of the teeth, SOZ0-
DON'T is adequate to the task and does it
thoroughly, besides banishing from the breath
an offensive smell. Teeth strengthened and
purified by SOZOD0NF are not only whittier,
but chew better than Others. As the teeth
improve through its use, eating becomes de-

We admire the attitude of tho people of
Hartford. A cargo of old rags from a
cholera port is en- route to New Haven.
Hartford cisizans protested against their
landing, and being told that possibly the
rags might be disinfeoted, and that the au.
thorities would look into the master and
see what could be done about it, ETC., gave
notice in tone not to be mistaken, that
the landing of the rags would not be per-
mitted. There come hours when the rule
of self-probection becomes law from which
there Is no appeal, and the unanimous pro-
test Of the people in this case is law, and
should be respected az such. II the people
had failed to enter the protest as they did,
and cholera had come in by the neglect, and
fears, and doubts of timid officials, pity for
the suffering cities would have been chilled
by contempt for their pusiilsnimity 1t is
said cargoes of rags are en- route to New
York, Boston and Baltimore from Asiatie

the people of those cities will prove as
plucky as those of Hartford, and give off.

kept out at all hazards, but we very much
fear that the rags will be landed.
