A War Incident.


The ex.confederate, General Cor.
don, told an interesting story about
two interviews be held with General
Barlow. At Sharpsburg, Barlow was
apparently MORALLY wounded, and fell
into Gordon's hands. Gordon took
liking to him and asked if he could
do something for Barlow. i think
not, general said the young man. Il
shall be buried here, no doubt. do
not expect to live. But you can do
one thing for me; here is package OF
letters from my wife which | wish
you 10 destroy before my eyes,
Gordon, who was then young man
also, took the letters and was about
to destroy them. when Barlow, with
a bubble at his throat, murmured:
Would you take the trouble TO read
me- Que Of them first! Any one will
do Gordon opened one of the letters
and read it to the dying man his last
friendly words, perhaps, from home.
Then the letters were destroyed. But
the incident touched Gordon so that
he made special exertion to have
barlow sent through the lines or 10
have his wife admitted to bin. This
being done, the two armies fell apart
and these men saw each other no
more. Gorden considered Barlow to
be dead. Barlow had also seen that a
General Gordon had been killed
S mewhere. 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: General Barlow, are
you a relative Of that Barlow who was
kill, d at Antietam?' NO. said the
general, 4 am The same man. Are
you any relative inquired Barlow 10
turn, of that General Gordon who
was recc ntly killed Oh the Confederate
sde?' That was my cousin. [ am
Jno. B. Gordon Then at the re-
quest of the persons who overheard,
Barlow told The tale amid tears and
emotion on every side.

A Oueer EXECUTION.

There has just died at Charenton, near
Paris, a man who has had a very curious
history. Thirty years ago this person, whose
name was Roussot, was condemned to death
at the Seine Assizes for the murder of an
old gentlem an, Nj. Demoury. The case had
excited considerable interest, and the court
was crowded with spectators. Among the
persons standing Immediately behind Rous-
sot, who was lanked by pair gendarmes,
was one Planchat, an employe
of the FresSe newspaper, who had
somehow contrived TO wriggle him
self into that position without attracting
notice. Scarcely had the sentence been pro-
nounced when Planchat moved, as he alter
ward explained, by an uncontrollable i'm
pulse, passed the side OF his hand over the
prisoners neck in imitation of the keen
blade of the guillotine, at the same time
emitting whirring sound. Roussot in
stantly fell forward with Shrek of terror,
and the bystanders, indignant at this heart
less and shocking act, rushed upon Planchat
and roundly abused hun. Planchat was
subsequently condemned to two years i'm
prisonment. AS for his victim, he never
recovered from the shock, but remained
insane until the day of his death. He was
pardoned by the Emperor and confined, first
at Bichetre, and aiterward at Charentou,
where he has ju expired. The unfortu-
nate man was under the impression that he
had actually been beheaded in the Palais OF
Justice, and when relating the story was in
the habit of initiating the sound that
haunted him ioT 80 years.

Elements of a rrns Marriage.

There are three elements that combine 20
make a true marriage-health, love and
SYM athletic companionship. No man or
woman physically weak should marry, and
thus entail suffering on others. Love does
not mean passion: it is based on understand
ing. Men and women should know each
other behind the curtain, as it were, before
marrisge. Unhappy lives often result from
imperfect knowledge before marriage OF the
characteristics of the partner in the con-
tract. Love makes sacrifices; passion,
never. No husband or wife has ever known
true happiness until the birth OF a child.
Men and women on the plane of marriage
stands equals. There should be sympathetic
panionship in the sense that an irreli-
gious person should not marry one who is
religiously inclued, or an intellectual one
who is of opposite taste. There should be
sympathy and fellowship between husband
and wife in all the pursuits of life.

The desire for tobacco and alcohol left him
spontaneously. Then all his digestive iunc-
lions became regular, and he found himself
wholly free from headaches aud bilious at

rheumatism left him, and at the end Of a
year he had gained eight pounds in weight.
He believes he can do more mental labor
than before, and that all his senses aIe more

apples and coffee; dinner consists of two
vegetables, brown bread, and pie or pud-
ding; for tea he rejoices in bread aud jam,
with milk and water, and for supper bread,
jam, cold pudding, and, as a luxury, boiled
onions. Eggs, milk, butter, and cheese are

are not all going in a day, not

write, it is too early to know
what is lett; and, if we did
know, we couldn't tell; too
many and too various.
Children's books we forgot
to mention at all. There are
hundreds of them.
Don't misunderstood this

live book store must do at
stated periods, to keep its
stock fresh and right, but what
not one in a hundred does do.

doom. We doom them once

Some people are always running for the
doctor when the least thing is the matter
with themselves or their children OF
course, the doctor likes this, for he gets
well paid for 1t. But there are many occa-
sions when the judicious use of PERRY
iIAvIs's PAIN KILLER will do all the doctor
can. Mr.. R. V. Miller, of Syracuse, N. Y,

The new Waukenphast is
received as well as we could
ask. Not a man is disap-
pointed in it. Men who
bought the first day have come
back for more, for many a
man has a quick feeling for a
comfortable shoe.
The price is Stand the shoe
is so good that nobody yet has
found a place where it could
be better; besides being COM
Portable.
Waukenphast is the name
of the London shoemaker who
invented this general style of
shoe, a shoe made exclusively
for comfort and wear, not at
all Tor beauty. If you hold it
in your hand and turn it over
all sides up and look at it, it is
as ugly as a shoe can well be;
but on the foot it is not so bad
looking. We shall be glad to
