GEN. CLEBURNE's REBUFF.

Gen. Cleburne's proposition received
such rebuff that he destroyed his own
copy Of the paper he read in advocacy Of
it, and the copy to Richmond has not
been found. The following summary of
its points was preserved by Major
Charles S. Hill, the accomplished statis-
tician of the State department, who was
Cleburne's chief of artillery at the time
the memorial was prepared.
The memorial was long, each point be.
ing carefully elaborated. The heads are
given by Major Hills memorandum, as
follows:
It urged on the Confederate Congress
the emancipation of all slaves and their
conscription into the army.
He claimed:
First. Such course would relieve The
Southern people of yearly tax, an un-
productive consumption, because the
slave consumed more than his profit,
thus Distinguishing the profit of the ne.
gro from the profit on cotton.
Second. 1t would animate the undying
gratitude of that race.
Third. 1t would create in the negro a
greater self.respect aud ambition.
Fourth. With gratitude and ambition
the service of the soldier would be both
reliable aud valuable.
Fifth. That the moral effect through.
out the world, but especially in Europe,
would be generally strengthening and
beneficial to the South.
S.Ath. That the result would be the
signal for immediate European recogni.

TO trust TO the honesty of the firm of
whom you purchase. Though l don't
deal in ready made goods myself, it is
no more than just for me to say that
many firms that deal in nothing else are
perfectly honest and trustworthy, and
whose guaranty of what they warrant is
as good as gold. Only, in addition to
the precautions l have given you, be very
careful, in choosing goods, whether made

wearer's use. 1t is process by which
cloth is secured, cleaned, and thickened.
1t consists of series of pestles or STAN
pers, which alternately fall into and rise
out Of a trough, through which the cloth
is being passed, along with luller's earth
or some other cleansing material. This
process, besides ridding the cloth of the
grease and oil used in preparing wool,
prevents it from shrinking thereafter on
coming in contact with the wet. You
often see trousers, for instance, that
looked large enough, and even overlarge,
when first put on, but which, neverthe.
less, shrink up too small or all out OF
shape, after encountering single hour
of wet weather. That is because the
material was not thoroughly fulled. In
selecting clothing material, always make
sure that it has been properly fulled."

Fighting for the Lily.

A disgraceful fight occurred In Lon
don last week between two noble rakes,
Lord Lonsdale and Sir George Chef
wynd, the cause being jealousy of that
rather faded Lily, Mrs. Langtry. The
two men met in the fashionable prone
made, Rotten Row, and Chetwynd be-
gan the assault by striking Lord Ions
dale on the head with whip and knock
ing his hat off into the street. Both
men were on horseback at the time. In
delivering the blow Sir George cried:
stake that, you devil!"
"What In - do You mean?" rejoined
Lord Lonsdale, smarting under the
blow. "Don't NEEDLE with my Lily"
shouted his assailant, rs he again struck
Lord Lonsdale with his whip full across
the shoulders. Lord Lonsdale then re-
turned the blows with his whip. The
horses of the combatants here became
frightened and began to plunge and
kick in such lively manner that their
riders were at last forced to dismount.
Dropping their whips they continued
the fight with their fists. Sir George
soon got his opponents head in chance
ry and pummeled him repeatedly.
Lord Lonsdale struggled to free HIM
self and both men rolled into the dust.
Both quickly regained their feet, and,
with blood flowing freely from noses
and mouths and their clothing torn, re-
newed the fight. A mounted policeman
galloped up shortly, however, and sep
arated them. The combatants entered
closed carriages and were driven to
their homes. Legal proceedings are
threatened, but friends Of the men are
trying to keep the matter out of the
courts. Lord Lonsdale and Sir George
Chetwynd are young men.

Feet TO be Proud of.

Miss Fanny Mills, Of Sandusky, Ohio,
is young woman who has positive
genius for feet, and possesses the high
honor of wearing the largest shoe in the
country, her number being twenty
mines. Her shoes have always been
made to order, and until recently in her
own State, but now that Miss Fannie is
old enough to 60 into society, her father
has had handsome pair of kid tops
manufactured in New York city, and
the shoemaker who constructed them
has then. on exhibition in his show win
dow on John street, where they attract
great attention and elicit many express
sions of admiration. The material of
which the shoes are made would have
been sufficient to manufacture eight
pair of ordinary ladies' shoes. The soles
are cork, and the shoes are button tops.
The length from stem to stern is 10
inches, and the breadth of beam is ~
Inches. The "waist" of the shoe is 49,
inches, the inster measurement 1917
inches, and the ball 10 inches. The
top of the shoe, which comes up to the
calf of the leg, measures 101a inches in
circumference. The heels are Sc inches
wide and AZ inches long. Four cham
OILS skins were used to line the shoes,
and they cost Mr.. Mills $40, besides the
freight charges to Sandusky. Mr.. Mills
is a well-to-do farmer, and Miss Fannie
is pretty blonde, weighing l60 pounds,
and of ordinary height.

Frank NJ. Keene is the telegraph ope-
rator ut the Glade Run pipe line station
near Warren, Pa. The pumping boilers
are heated by natural gas. The supply
of gas is regulated by valve. On Sat-
urday some obstruction in the valve pre-
vented the gas from being turned on.
To find out what the obstruction was
Kesne unscrewed the pipe at the joint.
There was pressure Of seventy pounds
Of gas to the inch on the pipe, and
Keene had given 1t turn of but two
threads when the great pressure forced
the joint apart, and the gas rushed out
with terrific force, hurting a shower OF
rust flakes and minute pieces OF iron
from the thread from the end OF the
pipe. Keene instinctively turned his
face away, but the bits Of iron and rust
flakes buried themselves in his flesh
from the tips of his fingers to his elbows.
DIR. Baker removed with lance over
800 pieces of iron, leaving the flesh OF
Keene's hands and arms one almost
continual sore. There are hundreds of
pieces yet in the flesh, to be taken out
as soon rs he is able TO endure the ope-
ration.

General Grant.

The remains of General Grant have
been embalmed and are now lying at
the cottage at Mt. McGregor, N. Y,
where he died. The body is guarded
by members of the Grand Army Of the
Republic. 1t has been decided to bury
the Generals body in Riverside Park,
New York, Notwithstanding that this
decision has caused earnest protest from
all sections Of the country. 1t is agreed
that the most appropriate place for his
burial would be In Washington, and eff
forts were made to have the family
reconsider their consent to have the in
terment take place in Riverside Park.
The programme of the funeral ar
rangements will be as follows: The re-
mains will lie quietly at the cottage in
the room where the General died until
Tuesday afternoon next, when the flu
neral cortege will be placed upon spe-
cial train and conveyed directly and
without demonstration to Albany,
reaching there in the evening. The re-
mains will be borne TO the Capitol build
ing, where they will lie in state until
Wednesday noon. Then and thence the
dead General will be conveyed by the
funeral train to New York, arriving
there Wednesday evening. The body
will then be conveyed to the City Hall,
where it will remain in state until Sat-
urday, when it will be borne to its last
resting place in Central Park.
An order has been issued from the
Secretary of War directing General
Hancock to take entire charge of the
military arrangements of Gen. Grants
funeral from the present to the day of
burial, and all military of any kind will
be under his direction.
DR.. Douglas, In an interview, told a
reporter that the General had expressed
desire that death would soon relieve
him of bis suffering. He dreaded lin
gering during the remainder Of the
summer. The last time he signed his
name was few days before his death,
when he put it on the back of check
for 81. 900, which he had received from
the Century Publishing Company four
or five days ago.

The Middlebrook, Va, correspondent
Of the Greenville Banner furnishes an
account of distressing tragedy which
Is said to have occurred last week: A
young man named Charles Jackson, liv-
ing near Pond Gap. married a daughter
Of Mr.. VIM. Gale, on Big river, near
Deerfield. Not long since the young
wife became a mother, and they were
very fond of their first born. The other
day while the mother was at work in the
garden she heard the baby cry, and
went to the house to quie: the child
when suddenly her husband dealt her
a heavy blow and rushed past her into
the house and taking the babe from It's
crib threw it violently against the bed
killing it instantly. The mother scream
ed and begged him to spare her child.
The brutal husband then came out and
beat his wife until she was insensible.
