A Negro Drowned.

While several white and colOred
boys were bathing in the river above
the railroad bridge about one O'Clock
last Monday afternoon, their sport
was brought to a very serious finale
by the drowning Of a colOred boy
named Bybee. The boys were try
ing to sink an old flat boat, when the
negro fell into the river, and being
unable to swim, was drowned. Char
ley Faulkner, son Of Mr.. Thomas
Faulkner rescued the body, about
two hours after the drowning. All
boys should learn so swim or stay out
of deep water.

Leisure is sweet to those who have
earned it, but burdensome to those
who get it for nothing. The human
mind is naturally active and if not
engaged in that which is good, it
will engage in that which is evil.

devil tempts everybody, but an idle

The late General Gordon's habit of life was society, and dinner parties he especially ab- horred. If friend invited him to..dine, he would remark that he had a dinner at home, and that his would-be host had better invite somebody who had none. It is ne secret, however, that Gordons meals were very often anything but appetizing. story is told of friend of his who found him sitting down to a stale loaf and pot of tea. On 8 remark being made as to the dryness of the bread, Gordon crammed it into slop basin and poured all the tea over it with the re- mark that it would soon be ready to eat, and that in half an hour it would not matter what he had eaten. Gordon's principal de- light consisted in the rescue of street Arabs and other equally neglected children, scores of whom he literally 'picked out of the gut ter," and placed in the way of earning an honest living. His care for these lads was unceasing. He would take them to his house, cleanse them, clothe them, and per- haps keep them for weeks until suitable situation could be found for them. Curious ly enough, he had an objection to sendi ng these boys into the army, and much prefer | red their going to sea: In the great majority of cases, indeed, he paid premiums for their apprenticeship to merchant vessels or fish ing-smacks, and arranged such terms as in sured their being able to gain livelihood at an early date

He recently appointed first lieutenant who was regimental quartermaster of the Third infantry to be captain in the quartermaster's department, disappointing the innumerable friends of civilian applicants and refusing to be controlled by the social influences exerted in their behalf It is understood that the President and his Secretary of War are opposed to filling such vacancies with civil ians so long as there men in the army who deserve promotion and are well fitted to perform the duties required.
