Now if the American people want to do
honor to song-writer who really de-
served honor, let them erect monument
to Stephen c. Foster, the one really
original and inspired musical composer
America has produced. Payne's song
never would have been remembered but
for the music Bishop set to it. but Foster
was true singer, composing both the
words and the music of his songs, with a
real feeling, sweetness, grace and ten
derness peculiarly his own that raise the
best of them to the highest rank of pop
ular ballads. Think of "Old Folks at
Home," the "Old Kentucky Home," or
"Massa's in the Cold, Cold Ground"
these are not mere rehash of what has
been done before, but genuine creation
that has been initiated; and copied but
that will not be superseded. And these
are only few out of hundred songs,
ranging from "Uncle Ned" and Susan
nah" and "Camptown Races" to "Come
Where My Love Lies Dreaming" or "Old
Dog Tray" that have been the delight of
millions all over the world and that are
a part of our possession as people. Their
range is not the highest, but within that
range they are complete, and all the
music thus far produced in America
operas, cantatas and all the rest-will not
weigh, as genuine artistic achievement,
against one of Stephen G. Fosters songs.

Emperor Williams Example.

Tiniest OF wee Babies.

The smallest baby in the world is at the
house of Mr.. Poe, of Chattanooga, on Car
ter street. It was born last Wednesday.
It is the most diminutiye creature i'm
aginable, weighing only one and half
pounds at the time of its birth and
scarcely twenty-six ounces yesterday. 1t
can scarcely be described. The entire
body is not as large as the forearm Of an
ordinary person. 1t is just eleven and a
halfinches long and in no portion of the
body is it more than six inches in cir
cumference. It's head is no larger than
large English walnut. Its arm looks
like mans little finger and the legs like
the centre finger. Its hands are not as
large as five cent piece. The child is
perfectly formed and its physical organ
ization is complete in every detail. Its
head is covered with all the hair usually
found in one so young, and in all partic-
ulars it differs in nothing from an ordi-
nary child except in size.
In answer to our question whether It

you had seen me walking the room last
night to quiet it you would not ask the
question. 1t cries as loudly and Justly
as any child I ever saw" The mother
was asked regarding its nourishment.
She replied: ut takes its nourishment
perfectly natural and has most voraci-

will take this plain gold ring from my
little finger and slip it over the child's
hand to its elbow" and, suiting the
action to the word, the ring, which was
very small, slipped over the forearm with
the utmost facility.

A Victor Who Does Not Exult.

After Richmond had fallen into the
hands of the Federal forces, the cabinet
room of the capitol was kept in exactly
the same condition as when occupied by
JEFF. Davis. President Lincoln, it will be
remembered, arrived the day after the
surrender, and while walking through
the building inspecting the headquarters
of the Confederacy, came to this room.
Godfrey Weitzell, who was in charge
said: "Mr. President, this is the chair
occupied by President Davis" and mo-
toned the President to sit down. It wa
a trying moment, and those present ex-
pected to see a look of triumph in his
face as he performed the act which sigma
lized the complete downfall of the rebel
lion. Mr.. Lincoln approached YEARLY,
sat down without word, and as his
great head fell into his broad hands there
was an oppressive silence. His mind
seemed to be wandering back through
the dark years of fbloodshed and carnage.
He saw visions of death, of broken fami-
ly treasure, and the little mounds that
dot the South, under which sleep the
Northern dead. He did not utter word,
but heaved deep sigh, and even to this
day the warriors who stood in his pres
ence at the time tell the story with tears
in their ewes,

How to Spend Sunday After
noon.

It may be safely said that a person
whose brain is wearied with intellectual
work during the week, or whose nervous
system iDexposed to the strain of busi-
ness or professional life, ought to sleep,
within an hour or two after his Sundays
dinner, if he can. 1t is. surprising how
much like a seven-day clock the brain
will work, if the habit of a Sunday nap"
be once formed. Nature will take
advantage of it as regularly and CRATE
fully as she does of the nightly sleep,
and do her best to make up lost time.
People, on the other hand, whose week
Of toll is chiefly physical, may well give
their mind activity, while their body is
resting. Two sermons and three or four
hours of solid reading are real rest to
some on Sunday, while to others such
course amounts to positive Sabbath
breaking. Sunday is day of rest-not
a day of work, religious or otherwise it
is day of repose-not for exhaustion.
But what the dogmatists on one side and
the illiberal liberals on the other are apt
to overlook is the fact that all men do
not rest alike any more than they labor
alike, and what will help to save one
may aid in killing another. After the
Sunday dinner, then, one should seek
rest, innocent recreations, helpful hap
piness, sleep, or read, or go and help in
struct and interest mission school, or
visit the sick and suffering, according to
your needs and your gifts. We Ameri-
cans haven't yet fully learned the art
of domestic enjoyment, any more than
the law of service to others. More men
ought to relieve their wives of the sole
care of young children on Sundays, by
taking them out to walk or ride, and in
viting the mother to 60 as company, or
leaving her at home to enjoy, unmolest-
ed, much-needed season of quiet. In
suitable weather a portion of the day
may be proftably spent out of doors.

Very Queer, Indeed.

We were reading in an exchange the
other day of the marriage of a woman in
England who was born without arms,
but who can use her toes with remark
able dexterity. She can sew, knit, crochet,
use q knife and fork and scratch her head
with her toes with as much ease as more
fortunate mortals can with their fingers.
After reading the article we leaned
back in our easy chair, closed our eyes
and allowed our thought to go off on an
excursion across the water. We followed
that girl from the day when she first
shared beau until her marriage, and
some of the mental pictures we drew
were indeed queer ones. When her lover
would call of course she must receive
him as other ladies would and just i'm
agine how odd it would be to see her
reaching up her foot, taking his hat be-
tween her toes, placing it upon the table
and motioning him to seat. She would
sit by his side talking all the little non
sensical nothings that lovers usually talk,
ever and anon slapping him lovingly on
the cheek with the sole Of her foot when

Outdone in Politeness.

Before the days of railroad Horace
Greeley left Utica one morning in a stage
coach. His only fellow-passenger was
gentleman of prepossessing appearance;
with whom he fell into conversation.
After awhile the stranger drew cigar
case from his pocket and offered its con-
tents to Mr.. Greeley for him to take from
it cigar. He declined the polite offer,
and the conversation was resumed. Pre-
sently the gentleman, takinga cigar from
the case, put it in his mouth and return
ed the case to his pocket. While they
were talking he abruptly but courteously
remarked to Mr.. Greeley:
T hope, sir. you have no objection to
a cigar?"
"None in the world, answered Greeley,
when it is not lighted"
"Oh," replied the gentleman, II had
not the remotest thought of lighting it."
"Then and there" said Mr.. Greeley
laughing, "was the only time was ever
outdone in politeness. I afterwards
ascertained that my victor was the fam

500, 900 Worth of Chickens.

Governor Eli Murray, of Utah, tells
this exciting story: I never shall forget
the amount of money it cost us to keep
an old woman from crying herself to
death. OF course we were obliged to sub:
sist off the country as we went along, and
we naturally took about the best in sight.
One day we took possession Of a chicken
ranch kept by an old lady, who stood at
the gate with broom and threatened to
lick all of Sherman's forces if they did
not move on. Now chickens were con-
Gdered officers meat, and aesves were
internally hungry we went for those hens
pretty lively. When she saw that her
favorite fowls were being caught and
killed she keeled right over and began to
cry. Presently she began to scream, and
finally you could hear that woman's voice
clear to Atlanta. I sent the surgeons in
to quiet her, but they failed, aud then
the officers took turns, but the more at
tention paid her the more she howled.
1 then got pretty nervous over the infer
nal noise, because the whole army would
hear it, and they might suppose some
body was torturing the woman. Finally
Sherman rode up and asked what it was
all about. When we told him he said:
"Give her bushel of Confederate bonds
for her hens and see if that won't stop
her." Acting on this hint, I proceeded
to business. We had captured Confed-
crate train the day before with $4,000
600 of Confederate money and hunted
up the train at once. The money was
worth about two cents on the dollar.
Well, stuffed about half million dollars
into an old carpetsack and marched into
the house.
MADAM" said I, opening the sack, "I'll
give you S5OO,OOo to quit this noise" 1t
was still as death in minute and then
her face expanded in broad smile. I
laid the package of notes on the table,
and never saw so delighted woman.
