Fifty Years Ago.

An old gentleman, who was boy fifty
years ago, says that in his young days it
was very uncommon to see young man
with store clothes on, and that young
man considered himself handsomely
dressed with a pair of clean copperas
pants and blue homespun sack coat.
The first pair of boots he ever had was
when he was II years old, and it took a
pair of No. 12 brogans to fit him. He
bought them Saturday, and the next day
went to church, and thought himself
handsomely dressed with his new. boots,
copperas pants, blue sack coat and wool
hat. In those days it was fashionable
for gentlemen to wear straps under their
boots to keep their pants down. He cut
him some strips of leather about an inch
wide, and strapped his pants (which
were very Tight down under his boots,
aud when he made his appearance at
church next day, thought he was very
much admired. He thinks that if a
young man were to make his appearance
in public now, dressed similar to what
he was then, that he would attract the
universal attention and ridicule OF the
public. He says he would willingly
give So for a picture of himself at that
time. This old gentleman now is one OF
our most prominent and prosperous citl'
zens.-Elberton Gazette.

Attorney General Garland Non.Suited

| was told of another Of Attorney Gen.
eral Garland's peculiarities by a friend
the other day. He hates doctors. Wien
ever be hears of q friend being sick, he
takes the trouble to warn him that the
medical profession is humbug, and the
only way to be sure of recovery is to let
it alone. He says he never had doctor
in his life, and consequently keeps we'll.
But the other day he broke faith. He
was taken with a peculiar ailment. At
first he thought he was getting fat, but
it was all confined to bis face, and he
did not know what to make of it. Di.
rectly his jaws swelled out to an i'm
mense size and became very painful. He
cndured'it long time, but finally grab
bed up his hat aud went to see doctor
who has an Office within "a square. He
said be thought he was poisoned, but had
no idea who had done it. II don't think
you are poisoned" said the doctor, after
examining his face very carefully.
"You'ye got the mumps."
The Attorney General left the Office in
a rage, "Mumps! mumps! I wonder if
it isn't cholera.infantum Maybe it's a
cancer !'' and giving ventto other sarcas.
tic expressions to show his contempt for
the whole medical fraternity. Butt was
the mumps, sure enough, and all he
could do was to keep out Of the way and
say nothing about it."-Philadelphia

Can Such Things Be ?

An "ex.soldier" writes to the Boston
Herald that he saw only month ago
portion of the battle. e.feld of Seven Pines
or Fair Oaks near Richmond on which
portions of skeletons strewed the ground.
It was at the place where the Oath and
25th South Carolina Regiments and
Devens's brigade including the 10th
Massachusetts poured hot fire into each
other, May 81, 1862. He says: "Now,
incredible as it may seem, upon walking
through this piece of woods occupied at
the time of the battle by the South Car
olina troops, I saw on March 16, the
present year-and twenty.three years
after the battle-the different parts of
human skeletons plainly exposed to the
sight, their original burial having been
effected by simply throwing few shov.
elsful of dirt upon the bodies the night
following the engagement. Mr.. Jones,
the Superintendent of the National Gem
etery located near by, informed me that
these were skeletons of Confederates, and
doubtless they are, but if the old Con-
federates in Richmond, only six miles
away, do not retain sufficient respect for
their fallen comrades to see that their
bones are decently inferred, would it not
be we'll for the United States Government
to detail few men to conceal from view
these ghastly reminders of that terrible
struggle?"

Pigeon Catching in Samoa

The ground being cleared, the chiefs
stationed themselves at distances all
round Il large circular space, each con-
cealed under low shed or covering of
brushwood, having by his side a net at
tacbed to a long bamboo, and in his
hand stick with tame pigeon on
crook at the end of it. This pigeon was
trained to fly round and round as di-
rected by its owner, with string at its
foot thirty feet long, attached to the end
of his stick. Every man flew his pigeon,
and then the whole circle looked like a
place where pigeons were flocking round
food and water.
The scene soon attracted some wild
pigeon, and as it approached the spot,
whoever was next to it raised his net
and tried to entang,e it. He who got
the greatest number of pigeons was the
hero Of the day and honored by his
friends with various kinds of food, with
which he treated his less successful COM
petitors. Some of the pigeons were
baked, others were distributed about
and trained for further use. Tanning
and exercising them for the sporting
season was a common pastime.

to hire an amanuensis or assistant prophet
to help him out. During the holidays,
when trade was brisk, the Mahdi had to
sit up and prophesy till 10 or II O'Clock
at night.
Ills. real name is Mohammed Achmed,
and he was the son of a petty sheik,
whose name l have forgotten. This man
was an inferior person and very ordi-
nary sheik, l am told-just such sheik
as you could go in and find on the ten
cent counters of the Soudan anywhere.
Mohammed Achmed for long time
showed one of the prevailing character
istics of a tramp, and SO they began to
educate him as fakir. A fakir is a
man who has permission to ramble
through the country, chiseling people
out of money and groceries in the name
of religion. He is a sort of Oriental gos-
pei bum, whose business is to go around
over the country weeping over the sins of
people who are too busy to be hypocrites.
These fakirs are always devout, hungry
and sad. They yearn for bright i'm
mortality, but they are in no great rush
about acquiring it. They are perfectly
willing to wait till the Egyptians pullets
run out. | am glad that we have no
fakirs in America
By and by Mohammed Achmed got a
call to rise up William Riley and gather
the clans of the Soudan together. He
went to them and told them in confidence
that he was the only genuine, all wool
prophet on the Nile, and if they wanted
some fun, to get their double barrel shot
guns and join the gang. They did SO.
None of them ever did anything az home
to obtain livelihood, so@s they could go
away on the warpath all summer and
their business wouldn't suffer at all.
They then proceeded to murder the
kings English, who had come there to
conquer and acquire their sand pile.
The Arabian style of warfare is pecu-
liar. 1t consists largely in drinking
alkali water on their part and in requir-
ing their enemies to do the same for
ninety days. So it becomes simply a
question of who has the firmest and most
durable Bessemer steel bowels.
No one but Bedouin would have
thought OF such style of warfare. 1t
is not, therefore, question of courage
or everlasting justice, it is question of
who can drink concentrated lye all sum-
mer and take his alimentary canal home
with him in the fall.
In the battle, the Arab charge is pecu-
liar in the extreme. The Arab does not
stand up in line of battle for an hour,
while the commanding officer gallops up
and down the line on ''heavy" horse
and the enemy pours CALLING fire into
his ranks. He sails up toward the enemy,
waves his Oriental night shirt in the
Egyptian air, shoots some one and goes
away. When the battle ground is ex-
amined on the following day, it is dis
covered that eight hundred brave and
handsome English soldiers are killed and
one old moth eaten Arab has stepped on
his Gothic shirt tail and sprained his
ankle.
Ell Mahdi is not a bad looking man at
all, and the report that he has lost his
teeth, SO that when he gives his orders
he has to gum Arabic, is not true.

Crescent City Cemeteries.

New Orleans cemetery system is one
prolific source of disease, even at its best,
writes an Inter- Ocean correspondent. AS
is well known, there are many burial
societies in the city, which have vaults
peculiarly fitted up for the reception of
bodies. The swampy nature of the
below the surface, and SO in the case of
the poorer classes a large number of
immense repositories are needed. Some
of these have accommodations for as
high as 100 corpses. to my personal
knowledge. When vault becomes
quite full of bodies, and the society
lacks funds for purchasing ground and
building again, it is customary to re-
move the coffins, and hold grand,
open-air cremation. The evils of this
operation are apparent, inasmuch as no
furnaces are provided for carrying off
the deadly fumes that must necessarily
be generated.
But in time of epidemcs the question
of burial is one of difficulty, and the
consequences from crowded interments
are most appalling. More than once
large vaults have been burst asunder by
the action of gases arising from large
number of freshly entombed bodies. OF
course the wealthy endeavor to have
their own private family tombs. or be-
long to influential burial societies that
maintain some specially imposing vaults.
The colored people have cheaper burial
societies by themselves, and the various
secret societies have their own ceme-
teries. This classification system brings
about multiplicity of cemeteries, as,
for instance, the Free Masons' cemetery,
the Odd Fellows cemetery, the Fire
mems cemetery, the Jewish cemeteries,
known as Getcs of Prayer, etc. The
payment of fee, varying f:om twenty
i've cents month to several dollars, en-
titles the member to free burial at the
hands of the society to which he be-
longs.
These burial societies, paradoxical as
it may sound, are also instrumental in
promoting social intercourse among the
members. The colored people give
big yearly entertainment in connection
with one of their leading societies, in
which the most elaborate festivities are
held, and full dress prevails.

"Our Margarct,"

In the city of New Orleans there are
many monuments erected to the famous
statesmen and soldiers Of the South.
But there is one which has more pa
thetic and deeper significance than any
of these. 1t stands on Prytana street,
in the midst of beds of flowers and sur
rounded by stately dwellings and groves
of the orange and palmetto. It is the
figure of a stout woman who is seated,
holding a little child, on which she
looks down, her homely face illumined
with noble benignity and tender love.
':That is our Margaret" the stranger
is told when he asks what it means. All
New Orleans knows "our Margaret"
She was a poor woman, who earned
sold from little shop; thrifty, ener-
full of love for children. Before the
ragged urchin who would be sent away
with full hands and happy face.
AS Margaret prospered, and the bake
shop enlarged into cracker factory, she
had her lovers, like other women. But
she turned deaf ear to them all. The
only man she would have married was
dead. and her heart was full of love only
for children; for the orphans and the
poor little outcasts more wretched thar
orphans.
All her money, all her thoughts, al
care as years passed, went to them. She
founded, out of her scanty savings, a
home for them which, as she grew richer,
she enlarged and endowed with all she
had.
So wise, so tender and benignant was
she in her care of them, that this poor,
illiterate woman, who was without
friends, and upon whose breast no child
of her own had ever lain, became ''our
Margaret" to the people of New Orleans,
aud mother to all the poor babies Of
the great city.
When she died, other charitable
women erected this monument so that
the homely figure should remain among
them, type of truest mother-love.-
