Hampton in q tight Place.

A raiddle-aged man approached:Gener-
al Hampton the other day and asked his
influence in pressing a claim before the
military committee of the Senate. The
stranger then said: General, | am glad
to see you again. You do not recognize
me, but you personally made prisoner
of me during the war;" Comparing
notes, Hampton found out that it was
fact, and recalled the circumstance. He
was reconnoitering one night and missed
his way. Around him burned many
more camp fires than he had left behind
him. Entering house, he discovered
that he had strayed into the enemy's
lines. A few soldiers were seated at q
table, and abruptly addressing them as
if superior officer of their own army,
he asked who they were and what they
we're doing there. One man spoke up
and replied: "We belong to the Eighth
New York Regiment, and Gen. Warren
sent us to get milk" Hampton felt that
all of his nerve and address would be re-.
quired to extricate himself from this
dangerous position. He reached for his
pistol, held it along his thigh, and, on
leaving the house, commanded the man
who spoke to him to follow. He did So.
Hampton mounted his horse and called
the man to him. Bending down to the
Federal soldiers ear, he whispered: 81
have pistol aimed at your head and will
shoot you if any alarm is made" The
surprised soldier whispered: Don't
shoot, surrender" Hampton then
babe him move on just ahead of his
horse, and so brought him into the Con-
federate camp. It was this man who,
after more than twenty years.. met his
csptor and asked favor Of him, as a
Senator, that he WAS more than willing
to grant. 1t was strange and romantic
in the returning cycles of
time Correspondence Chronicle and
Constitutionalist.

"A singular scene was presented in
the House, growing out of the unseating
of the Virginia Readjuster, Mayor, in
favor of Garrison, the contestant. When
a vote vas reached on the resolution re-
ported by the committee on privileges
and elections not single negative vote
was heard, but the House unanimously
decided against the sitting member. AS
Mr. Garrison advanced down the main
aisle to receive the oath of office Mayo,
hat in hand, was observed quietly steal );
ing out by side door from the hall.
Nobody ON the floor paid any attention
to his movements, and he was suffered 10
depart in peace. During Mayo's stay IN
Congress he had become very unpopular
among his associates and this may IN a
measure explain why none of his col
leagues even voted against his expulsion

The Keely Motor Practically Completed.

PHILADELPHIA, March 1.-THE me-
chanical work on the Keely motor has at
length been completed. All the subor-
dinates engaged in its construction, in
cluding Albert Chance, the head mechan:
ic, have been discharged. This" said

plished, and we have no further use for
them. Tomorrow Mr.. Keely will begin
focalizing and adjusting the vibrators.
This is delicate operation, but for MIR.

as he obtains one perfect revolution, be it
ever so slow, his task is practically flu

expect to hear almost any day that the
engine is running. The next regular
meeting of the directors will be on Tues
day evening, the 25th instant, when
dates will probably be fixed for private
exhibition of the engine, and subse-
quent exhibition in some suitable place
will follow for the benefit of the stock
holders and the general public"

Ambition, sclflshness and False Pride.

Ambition is very good thing to have
if you don't have too much of it. 1t is
like quinine-good in small doses; if too
much is taken it is apt to have bad
effect upon the head. Ambition is diff.
fcult thing to define; cruelty, selfshness
and false pride are its first cousins. Am
bition, in Unbalanced natures, makes
them cruel; the possessor will step to
the prize over the quivering bodies of
his petitors-physically speaking, in
by-gone ages fguratiVely, in this nine.
teenth ceutury-without qualm of re.
gret, except that the guerdon is not great
er than it is, and without compassion for
those who have fallen in the strugg les.
Of selfshness there are many kinds; the
common, everyday, won't give-up-my-
seat kind of sel6shness, and the other
kind-the rendering of small favors in
expectation of return at usury-this is
the pure, double distilled, bottled aud.
corked. with.a glass stopper kind. Of
false pride there is only one kind-but
that is the meanest kind manufactured.
False pride will tell young man to steal
rather than to beg; to lie concerning his
prospects rather than to tell his friends
be has been unwise and is in straits.
The young man who arrives in city
without any friends, registers at the best
hotel, and has lis mail from home ad-
dressed there, taking his board out of
his prospects for getting work, will be
very likely to get himself into the papers
as a hotel beat, and be obliged to have
his letters addressed to the Jail. The
young man who starts out 10 life with
the idea that in few years be will own
the whole earth and few acres of the
next field, may have to come round at
the last minute and beg for so much as a
seat on the fence. make haste slowly
is wise proverbs its wisdom is proved
by the test Of experience. Rome was
not built in day, nor even great many
towns of lesser importance in history.
The only thing that ever was built in
day is a young mans air castle. and we
eli know of its durability. .-Neacsboys

A FEW WORDS FROM
CAPT. r. W. BONNER,
A WELL-kNOWN
CITIZEN OF MAC0N, GA.

In August 1851, nearly three years ago, my SOD,
who was at that time living at Clinton, Ga. came
over to see me with the sad intelligence that his
wife was in the last stages OF consumption and
that her physician had pronounced her case hope
less. Z went Immediately over, and felt that
nothing could he done. She was coughing and
splitting inc-ssantly, and at times would discharge
from her lungs large quantity of pus or matter
could not sleep or retain anything on her stom-
ach and was in fact, in the last stages of the dis
ease. This was about the Time you began TO ad-
yertisc Brewers Lung RcstOrcr, and as my son
expressed 4 desire to give it to his wife, two or
three bottles were procured and with scarcely
vestige of hope We commenced giving 1t to her in
small doses, gradually increasing the quantity un-
til The prescribed dos, was reached She began to
improve after few doses and continued to do so
daily until she WAS finally restored to life and
health, and is to-day perhaps in better health than
ever before. She is subject to colds but few
swallows Of Brewers Lung RestOrer (Which she is
never wthout) relieves her Immediately con-
slider her restoration TO perfect health q miracle,
for which she is indebt i to Brewers Lung Re-
stOrcr. My son is almost q niOnOnIaniac on the
subject of Brewers Lung RestoIer and never lets
an opportunity pass where lie thinks such medi-
cine would be required, that he does not speak OF
it in most glowing terms. Not long Stree North
ern gentleman on his way to Florida heard of this
cure and was induced by my son t. give it to his
invalid wife, and she was cured as if by magic"
Brewers Lung RcStOrer contains no opiatcs.

BUTTER-MEN's STORIES.

Some of the experts who have testified
before the committee have rather sur
prised the public, as when a veteran
butter man confesses that he cannot tell
oleo from genuine butter without a
chemical test, and when it is admitted
that tub of oleo recently carried off the
first prize for butter at dairy show in
Utica. The experts for the oleo men
have testified that no cases of sickness
from eating oleo have been known, and
even butter champions have been obliged
to confess that good oleo is better than
bad butter. The oleo experts also con-
tend that the stories of the use of filthy
fats and of the slaughter: house products
of deceased animals are absurdly untrue,
because the health inspectors do not al
low diseased animals to be slaughtered
here, and good fresh butchers fat is as
cheap a material as can be wanted. A
wonderful story of the way in which the
fat for oleo makers was gathered may
perhaps be remembered as follows
.sStakes were driven inside the London
sewers. The passing current OF filth lett
deposit of greasy matter on the stakes
once a day men came and scIaped the
deposit off into pals. After the proper
treatment this grease appeared upon the
table as dairy butter" The experts de-
nounce this story and similar ones rs an
invention of the dairyman, because ii
would cost more to purify and deodorize
such stuff than it would be worth as but
ter. The cheapest material for makirg
bogus butter, say the experts, is good
fresh fat or lard, and the purer aud sweet ZEE
er it is the better butter it makes. The
longer the investigation goes on the
more hopeless appears the daiyman's
position, for while it is shown that rea
butter might be great deal dearer were
it not for oleo, no evidence has beer
brought forward to prove that the artili
cial stuff is deleterious to health in anJ
way. The committee have received ne
suggestions of value as 10 the means .
