The American Me ials of IA onor,

The Adiutaut General Of the Army
has recently published O list OF the
names of the volunteers upon whom
the medals of honor of the United
States have been conferred. These
medals of honor are given for instan-
ces of personal heroism only, and, as a
general rule, are conferred upon pri-
Yates and non-commissioned, rather
than upon commissioned, officers, who
are generally rewarded by promotion
in rank. 1t is remarkable that SC
many medals should have been con
ferred and yet so little known about
them. 1t appears from this list that
about $50 volunteers in the war Of the
rebellion have been so decorated and
that about 200 OF the regular army
have received the medal since the
close of the war.
The medal has been given for every
form of bravery, from the capture oil
cannon to the carrying OF dispatches
Very many of them are for the cap
ture or recapture of reginiental colors
One was given for the shooting of thu
murderer of Colonel Ellsworth. The
general ground of "gallantry in &C
ton" covers the larger number o
cases.
The medals are awarded under act
OF Congress approved July 18th. 1862
and March Sd, 1868, They resemble
the Grand Army of the Republi
badge, and consist of yepointe'
star tipped with trefoil and containing
in each point laurel wreath. Within
a circle of stars is a representation o
America suppressing discord. Th
New York World, in a special articl
upon the medals, states that the frs
Medal of Honor was awarded to Sci
geant John G. Merritt, Company K
First Minnesota Volunteers, and wa
conferred for gallantry in the frs
battle of Bull Run. in July, 1861, whe
he was wounded while in advance

A Dance on Table Mountatss,

and started on horseback. Bill was
mounted on the old veteran who turn
ed the windlass at the shaft. We were
minus kid gloves, swallow-tails or
white cravats, but ready for lark.
The dinlng-roon of small tavern on
top OF Table Mountain was the ball
room. The girls proved to be splen-

She had taken the prize at the games
in Sonora for bareback riding on the
previous Fourth of July, and danced

nished the music. save the mark
| Shades of Paganini, what melody! AS
in the case of the more popular parties
in town, the supper room was open all
the evening,
This was a shed across the way,
lighted by candles which were
mounted ON pedestal of their own

OF crackers, cheese, sandwiches, CT

Coming from the city, the writer was
enabled to dance with the bellies sew
eral times. This unusual privilege
was extended, no doubt, for the sake
its reflex influence on some young
spectators who lived in the neighbor
hood, rather than as mark OF par
TALLY for her partner in the dance. In
New Mexico they say it is sure death
to dance more than once with thu
belle of the evening. Fortunately,
they were less bloodthirsty in the re.
gion around Table Mountain.

Revolution In Funeral Customs.

A revolution in funeral customs is
appealed for by correspondent of the
British Medical News, which thus en-
dorses as well as explains the notion of
it: 1.-THE idea OF bringing the corpse
inside the church is, our correspondent
points out, superstition which came
in about the fourth century, when the
apostacv from the early faith began.
The coffin, ss is pointed out, might as
easily be left in the porch. This is a
matter to which attention may well be
directed, and members of the profes-
sion would do well to endeavor to in
iluence the clergy in favor of some
change in respect to this ancient, but
unsnnitarY custom"

1t is stated that five petrified women

gave them money for summer bonnets
without grumbling, whereupon the

A paper informs its readers thai

Father Sharply: "See if their divorce

An Arkansas horse thief confessed

Hugh 7. Inman. of this city, is
wearing. a $4,000 suit of clothes. The
suit only cost him $2500, but it now
represents cost of $4,000. The suit
is neat salt-and-pepper Scotch cassi-
mere, well mixed, tbree-buttoned
coat and loose trousers. Mr. Inman
| is a snug millionaire, but he don't
usually wear $40, 000.clothes. Here is
how he came to get this suit: About
two years ago he put $4,000 into a
scheme for building railroad to Shelf
field, projected town in North Ala
bama. In twelve months he sold his
interest for suit of clothes. The in
terest is now worth $16, 900, and grows
more valuable as the clothes wear out,
which suggest some curious points in
speculative town building In Ala
bama.
In 1883, W. S. and E. G. Gordon,
brothers of Governor Gordon, of this
State, found themselves on bluffover-
looking the Tennessee river, below the
Mussel shoals and near Tuscumbia.
They determined to found town on
that bluff. In three months they bad
bought up the adjacent lands. organ
lied a stock company with 800. 600
capital, tackled the name of Sheffield
to the bluff and began TO build works.
The scheme was advertised largely
The beauty of the site commended it,
outlying coal and iron fields supported
lit, and in about eight months the first
sale of Sheffield city lots was held.
That sale has never been equaled liz
history. The three or four houses on
the site of the projected town were
crammed with buyers. Two or three
steamboats, that had found their way
up the Tennessee river swarmed with
eager purchasers. The woods were
full of them when the sale began one
morning and lasted three days.
At the end of that time 1888, 900 had
been realized tor the lots, nearly three
times the entire capital. Less than
lfifteen acres were exhausted. A trian
