Babies Feet.

Babies feet are objects Of unlimited
admiration; the soft curves and outlines
and the perfect nails do not in the asst
suggest the amped and misshapen
form they i'll take after awhile, in oil
human probab lity. Thoughtlessness
and mistaken notion Of economy cause
the lack OF beauty and the sense of dis
comfort about the feet Of tho half.grown
hoy or girl. Children arc frequently
made to wear shoes that they have out
grown because they are not worn out.
Best shoes are almost always too
small when they are purchased, and, as
they are only worn occasionally, tho
feet change and enlarge, and are injured
by the ill-ftting shoe. The nails should
be looked after by the mother just ~
conscientiously ss the morals of the
child. Many an hour Of acute pain to
the man or woman may be charged TO
the neglect of the nails in childhood.

DEATH OF GEN, CONNER.

Gen. James Conner, Of South Carolina,
who had been i'll in Richmond, Va, for
three weeks, died in that city, on the 26th
ultimo, at the house of John Enders, Esq,
his father-in-law. 1t is thought that the
campaign of 1876 severely taxed his health.
Certainly from that time till his death he
was never entirely well. But it was only a
wear ago that his physician finding him suf-
fering from a stubborn lung trouble, ordered
him to cease from active labor and to take
up his residence at SummerVille, town
twenty miles from Charleston, on the South
Carolina Railroad, in. a climate dry and
healthful, with airs coming over the sands,
fragrant with the odors of the pines His
family and physicians believed that his
health was greatly improved at Summer
vile, and about three weeks ago he and his
wife and four of their children came to Nir-
ginia and were stopping here at MIR. Enders'
preparatory to trip to the springs, when
Gen. Conner was attacked by something like
pneumonia, which rapidly drew his life to a
close. He was conscious to within two
hours of his death and was aware of his con-
dition and resigned to the will of God,
though he would have been more than hu-
man if he could have parted from his devO-
ted wife and children without great pangs
Gen. Conner had long been an attendant
upon the Episcopal Church, and had the Of
fees of that church in his last hours. He
leaves wife and five children, four girls
and one boy. The eldest child, Henry W.,
is 16 years of age, and is a student at the
Alexandria High School.
Gen. Conner's body will be taken to
Charleston, in which city the funeral will
take place, and the interment will be made
at Magnolia Cemetery, one of the loveliest
burial places in this land. Col. Anderson
has rendered, as a funeral escort to the train,
the officers of the First Regiment, and has
invited the officers of the HOwitZers and
Blues to join them in front of DR.. Hoge's
Church at 2.15 tomorrow afternoon. The
body will 60 to Charleston on the fast mail
train, which leaves at 3 p. M.
In July, 1864, he was promoted brigadier-
general, and being wounded in the leg at
the battle of Mechanicsville he was brought
to this city to the house of Mr.. John Enders
where he fingered several months in criti-
cal condition. He recovered sufficiently to
be able to make visit to his home where
he finally recovered and rejoined his COM
mand at the battle of Strasburg. He was
married in the same house in which he died.
Gen. Conner was on the streets here on
Sunday, and at that time it was not thought
that he was in any great danger. Richmond

but we can prove what we say by five hun

when the graduating class of the Columbus
Female College were reading their compo-

ladies who did not wear bangs. They were

but Hre school girls. We honor them it.

THE YOUNG MAN WHO SHOWED OFF.

The other day a young man about 70
years of age, accompanied by a girl two or
three years lyounger, reached the city by
a Bay City train, and after looking around
for few hours, returned to the depot and
bought some sandwiches for lunch. The
fellow was heard Dragging good deal as to
what he had done and could do and the
cities he had visited, and by and by he
walked up to thedepot policeman and hand

"Oh, guess not" carelessly replied the
other.
"Base scoundrel! am here to rescue this

"Don't bust any buttons off, my young

his arm appraised and heroism in his eye,
and the next minute he was picked up and
tossed over among lot of green hides as
carefully as if he had been glass. Then the
big man raised his cap to the girl, smiled
sWeetly as he bowed and scraped his foot,

"Ask your ma," said Mr.. Jones, who was

SLEEPING-CAR INCIDENT.-The passen-
gers in the sleeping car had retired some
half hour since, and were just going off
into their first maps, when the voice of a
woman was heard above the noise of the
cars and the rattle Of the tempest.
"How the wind blows" it exclaimed.
Every passenger heard the voice, gave
a snort of dissatisfaction, and turned over.
Just as everybody had got fasleep, again
came the plaint.
"How the wind blows"
Again the snorts of displeasure were
heard, and again each passenger turned
over. All was quiet for perhaps ten min
utes. Then third time came that monot-
Onous remark:
"How the wind blows"
An elderly gentleman in one of the CEN
tire berths, stuck his head through the
drapery of his couch, and courteously re-
marked:
"My dear madam, we are under great
obligations to you for your meteorological
observations, but did you ever know of a
wind that didn't blow?"
A suppressed cachination meandered
through the car, and then all was quiet
