II nave Deen seriously cut, sald walker
Mergin (colored) after entering the first pre-
cinct station house ut 1880 o'clock yesterday
morning.
"Who did IT." asked the station keeper.
"a colored man named John Newman"
what led him to cut your
81 WIS drinking some, and Newman lives on
the first floor of the house In which u relative
of mine lives. l went there about o'clock TO
stay for the night. l found the hallway dark,
and In feeling my way to the stairs that lead up
to my relatives rooms l stumbled against
Newman's door. He rushed out of his room
with lamp In one hand and an oyster knife
in the other, and, before could say anything
to him, he stabbed me in the left breast"
DR.. Holden, who had been summoned, ex-
amined the wound and found IL to be q little
above the nipple of the len breast, and quite
deep. He pronounced 1t dangerous. Mergin
was sent to Providence Hospital. Last night
made for Newman, but he had escaped, and as
yet he has not been arrested.

Unable to Write.

"Would you mind writing this mes

ble-looking young woman of the receiv-
ing operator at District Telegraph
station on Eighth street yesterday af-
ternoon. 81 can not write with my
gloves on"
"Certainly, miss, with pleasure, "
was tho polite reply, and the official
proceeded to take down from dictation
message Of some length.
"Are you often requested to do thatp'
he was asked, when tho message was
written and the lady gone.
'Oh, yes. She probably couldn't
write at all, or SO badly she was
ashamed to let mo see her caligraphy.
1t is quite common thing for people,
both men and women, to ask us to do
their writing for them. l guess any
one would be astonishcd to find out
how many people there are who are
hardly able to spell their own name,
much less write legible letter or telc.
graphic message. These are princi-
paliy English people Of the working
classes, who have only been in this
country short time. Nearly all born
Americans can write. They tell me
that in England the laborng people
are very seldom able to read and write,
especially in the mining and manufac-
turing districts.
''lt is not an uncommon Occurrences
for people to come in and ask us to
make up their letters for them. They
tell US the substance of what they want
to say and get us to put 1t in shape for
them. They never let on they can't
write or read, but it's easy to see that.
Some of the excuses they make are very
funny. They will pretend they arc
foreigners and cant write English, or
that they have sprained their wrists, or
have their gloves on, or cant write
with our pens, and we have to look
serious, while all the time we see
through their dodges perfectly. Then
there Is the kind who don't want to
have their handwriting recognized
young men who are sending love letters
to girls unknown to their parents, and
young girls who wish to keep appoint
ments with young men that they would
be wiser to avoid"
"Do you always accommodate
themp"
''Oh, yes, unless we are very much
pushed, and in that case we make them
wait until we have time to attend 10
them. 1t doesn't do to lose a message,
you know. .'-ihitadetphia Times.

what the Choir sang About the New
utnunae

s'''s'''
A foolish little maiden bought foolish little
bonnet,
with ribbon, and feather, and bit OF lace
upon II; -
And thai The other maidons of the little town
She thought she'd go To meeting the next sun
day Just to show II.
But though the little bonnet was scarce larger
than dime,
The getting of II settled proved to be u work
of time;
So when twHs fairly tied all the bells had stop
ped their ringing
Aud when she came To meeting sure enough,
the folks were singing.
So this foolish little maiden stood and waited
nj the door:
And she shook her rufiies out behind and
smoothCd them down before,
-Ilalcujnhl hnllcluIahl" sang the choir
above her head.
Hardy knew youl hardly knew your were
the words she thought they said.
This made the little maiden feel so very, very
cross,
That she gave her little mouth twist, her lit
tie head toss;
For she thought the very hymn they sang was
all about her bonnet,
With the ribbon. and the feather, ana inc pt
of lace upon II.
And she would not wait 10 listen to the ser
mon or the prayer
but pattcrcd down the silent street and hur-
ricd mp the stair,
I'm she reached her little bureau, and in
bandboX on IL
Had hidden safe from critics eye her foolish
little bonnet.
Which proves, my little maidens, that each of
you will find
In every Sabbath service but an echo of your
mind;
And the silly little head that's filed with silly
little airs

Gen. Gordon.

Gen. John B. Gordon, ex-senator
from Georgia, has been here this week
rendering an invitation to the president
to visit that state. Gen. Gordon was
In command when the last charge was
made by the confederate forces. He
entered the army from civil life, being
connected with state military organi-
zatiOn. From lieutenancy he rose to a
lieutenant-generalship. Just before
leaving his home for the army he was
married to one Of the most prominent
young ladies in the state. She accom-
panied him throughout the war The
general was wounded seven or eight
times. On one occasion a piece OF a
shell gashed his face. His eyes were
closed In consequence Of the swelling,
and he could not see his wife. He re-
cognized her footsteps, however, as
she approached him Immediately after
he was wounded. Come and look at
your Irish beauty" he exclaimed to
her. He carries the scar on his cheek
that resulted from that wound. p
The general was exceedingly popu-
lar IN his state. After the close of the
war he was elected to the United States
senate. lie resigned from that body
about five years ago on account of nis
poverty, being unable to keep up the
expenses which his position made IT
necessary for him TO make. He wa,
succeeded by Joe Brown. who still re-
tains the seat. After resigning Gordon

An Animal Applc.Gnthcrcr.

Gathering fruit is frequent practice
Of animals. and yet there is stratagem
attributed to that walking bunch of
tooth-picks" called the hedgehog,
which is curious enough to deserve
special mention. 1t seems that fruit is
frequently found in the hedgehog's
sleeping-apartment, and its presence
there is explained in this remarkable
way: 1t is known that hedgehogs often
climb walls, and run of upon low
boughs, and instead of scrambling
down in the same manner, they boldly
make the leap from the .op to the
ground, sometimes ten or twelve feet
They coil into ball in the air, strike
upon their armor of spines, and bound
away unharmed. In taking this jump,
they have been seen to strike upon fall
en- fruit. which, thus impaled upon
their spines, was carried away by them;
and this has given rise to the opinion
that in some such way they may have
stored their winter homes. +.
