One Bright Morning In December.

THAT reminds me-" said the war CORE
spondent, "of an occurrence at Nashville that
gave Stanley great pleasure After the bat
tie Of Franklin, which was fought Nov. 30,
1854, Gen Hood invested Nashville, much as
Sherman had, many months previous, in
vested Atlanta That is to say, the lines of
investments were semi-circular and parallel,
the distance between them being from one to
three miles, according to the conformation Of
the ground
"One bright morning in December, before
the days of fog and ice, a cavalcade Of Con-
federate officers, in gay uniforms and accom-
panied by band, rode jauntily out in front
of the intrenchments along the Granny White
pike, and, taking conspicuous position over
looking the valley between the two lines,
were apparently enjoying themselves, the
band meanwhile playing, Who's Been Here
Since I've Been Gomez They made a splen-
did target, and the temptation was too strong
for an officer of the Sixth Ohio battery.
Carefully training a section Of his guns on
the picnickers, he gave the order to fire.
Boom! boom! When the reverberations died
away and the smoke lifted the music had
ceased, and the Confederate officers, orderlies,
and musicians could be seen scanpering in all
directions for cover. The pale smoke lazily
rising from the exploded shells on the exact
spot where they had been jubilating but a
few moments before told tho story.-lnter-

E,tr,ctiop of Sugar by Dtnusiop.

Of late years there have been applied sew
eral great improvements in the process Of
milling or grinding cane, which have brought
up the maximum extraction of juice from 20
to over 80 per cent, making a gain Of twenty
sixtieths or 80 per cent The first of these
was adopted about thirty years ago in the erec:
ton OF supplemental two-roner mills, after the
single three-roller mill The second was i
the saturation Of the bagasse between the two
sets of rolls, to facilitate extraction; the third
was the application Of the Hydraulic pres
sure regulator" to allow the subjection Of
cane TO the greatest amount Of pressure, and
the fourth was the introduction Of the shred
der into this state to slice the cane into strips
before it entered the first mill. With all these
improvements combined, fourth-class mill,
during runs last season, extracted over 80 per
cent of juice or eight-ninths Of the total
amount of juice contained in the plant
The extraction Of sugar by diffusion
Though by experiment only in practical
working, Is eighty-four ninetieths, or a little
over per cent better than the best mill ex-
traction, which has amounted to 50 per cent
Of all the juice contained in the cane-that
from diffusion being about 06 per cent Of all
the Juice In these calculations the woody
fibre and insoluble minerals are taken as 10
per cent. In the different seasons this will be
less or more.-New Orleans Times-Democrat

We have not heard Of more peculiar con-
test than that between two young women who
work In one of the cotton mills in Lewiston.
1t was competition for the palm of superior
beauty. Both of the young women are red
checked and buxom One of them is married
Each Of them is old enough to be satisfied
with the verdict of her husband or sweet
heart. The ve1ed question arose in the fore
noon, but its settlement was left over until
after dinner, when each bed had sufficient
time to fix up" An extra ribbon or two and
gay jewelry adorned each. The most win
ming, look-at-me smiles were displayed by
each. The hands in the mill decided the
question The girls were placed side by side
and everybody, from the back boy to the
overseers, looked at the girls critically, with
the eye of an art connoisseur, and rendered
his decision fearlessly. The damsels made it
a most serious matter With them it was no
joke, as it was to the critics on beauty.
Pretty eyes filled with tears more than once
and cheeks flushed red with chagrin.-

The Stock Business Out West.


awhat do you think Of the future of the
western stock businessP
~In the course of time the business as it Is
at present conducted has got to cease. re-
gard the present system as merely the begin
ming. In different sections the business will
take entirely different shapes. Where the
land is fitted for agriculture the cowmen will
become dispossessed in the natural course Of
things by grangers. In the Bad Lands graz
ing will continue, but in the course Of time
the great ranches will break up, because small
ranches fenced in, with 200 or 800 cattle, can
be managed more economically. At present
the branding iron and the cowboy are the
fences, but they must go. / believe that my
section, including the largest part of Mon
tana and Wyoming and the western strip Of
Dakota, will bear the same relations TO this
country that Hungary does TO Europe.
Throughout that region q granger cannot
subsist except on irrigated lands along the
river, and to permit these settlements will
turn the entire country away from the rivers
inso desert But the cry in the east against
the cattle kings is just as nonsensical as the
western cry against the gold bugs l can
only speak from what have seen; but where
/ am there is no fencing in or jumping the
public domain The cownsen are simply
pioneers who dare go into a wilder country
and face greater dangers from the Indians
than any other class. They pave the way of
civilization, and in the region where / am 10
Gated there is no objection to settlers follow

Every one is now talking of PATHS we'd
ding and | feel that am especially fortunate
in being able to send you some Of the details
known only to the 'inner circles" having
dined the other day with one Of her ladies Of
honor and her intimate friend, who had just
returned from the marriage. She tells me
that Patti and NiColini were married Tor per-
haps I should say had the ceremony OF mar
riage performed for them several years ago
in st. Petersburg it being legal, as was their
divorce from their former spouses, in all
other countries except France, and as they
have just had two solemnizations of matri-
mony, 1t seems they must be very firmly
bound together. No doubt you have read Of
both the blue dresses Patti wore, and o; how
one was quite covered with exquisite lace.
and of how society's critics have pronounced
it the perfection Of taste that she should not
have worn white.
At her earnest desire all her women friends
present were grouped about her, and every.
thing was mos simply and quietly done.
must tell you of how an energetic reporter (of
course, an American,l with good legs and
much ambition walked six miles from the
nearest station only to be met at the parks
outer gates with the old adage, leave hops
behind who enter here" for the castle doors
were closed alike to him and all reporters.
Nicolini my friends tells me, is the kindest,
most gentlemanly man; his every act loving
thought for Patti, or as we should now say
Though doubt if We will Mime Nicolini
He is so proud that never has he accepted
anything at her hands, even in their travels
insisting upon paying his share of the ex-
,,enses.-Paris Cor. Chicago Herald

Matt Carpenters Last Plea

A few days before his death poor girl,
daughter of wounded and disabled soldier,
the stay and help of the family through a
humble position she held in one of the depart
ments, learning that there was danger Of her
removal, sought this mans dying bed with
her anxious story, knowing how many he had
helped in similar circumstances. With no in
timation of impatience from his sick pillow
he gave a listening ear to the poor girls re-
cital; OF her fathers diSablement in the service
of his country; of the children looking to her,
the eldest, for such addition to his pension as
might keep the little ones at school and give
them all the comforts of a modest home.
From his generous heart he summoned
strength, left that dying bed, rode to the de-
partment, and made plea which secured a
reconsideration of the order for the girls re-
moval Before the week was over all his ser
vices on earth was ended. He had gone to
Judgment with this, the last plea Of his life
warm upon his lips.-JOhn r. French

strong lemonade taken at bedtime will break
up bad cold. That tough beef is made ten
der by lying few minutes in vinegar water.
That little soda will relieve sick headache
caused by indigestion. That n cup of strong
,offee will remove the odor Of onions from the
breath. That a cup of hot water drank be

That weIl-ventilated bedrooms will prevent
morning headaches and lassitude. That one

Even more true than for men is child-love

who have been deprived Of il can tell All
unconfessed, the longing for the tiny, cling

years. She was a young woman when was
a little girl Even as long ago as that, l can
remember the exquisite tenderness that used
sometimes to transform the poor twisted face
and make gentle the heavy, half-lifeless
hands. Once, not long ago, she was i'll and
was with her. A little whiteheaded boy,
whom some one who loves him calls Thistle
blow was nesting contentedly by her side.

with their children it would not take them
long to learn that the happiest, most profit

Relics of the Great Tragedy.

I saw the other day two of the most curious
and interesting relics of the greatest tragedy
in American history They are the pistol
with which John Wilkes Booth shot Presi-
dent Lincoln and the dagger he held in his
hand when he leaped from the box to the
stage Of the theatre, crying, "Sic semper
tyrannis!" These relics are preserved in a
bureau Of one OF the great departments of the
government. and with them is the bullet that
struck Mr.. Lincoln down. The pistol is the
most interesting of the lot. 1t Is one of the
kind known as the Derringer, made in Phila-
ielphia, which was very famous all through
the south and southwest thirty years ago.
The one in question is Of beautiful workman
ship. Its barrel is only two inches in le~ al,
and the bullet weighs about qu"- .er of an
ounce. The entire length r' me weapon is
but four inches Its M Lting is of silver,
and the lock is one - sue finest and most per-
feet pieces of W &manship have ever seen,
even in the weapons, which were very ex-
pensiv~ and elaborate. The bullet is much
altered, and was evidently driven into the
muzzlo for the pistol is n muzzle loader) by
the use of mallet and iron loading rod Con
sidering tho heavy charge Of powder under
the bullet, before it was fired, the latter must
have been only half an inch from the muzzle,
and could easily have been touched with ones
little finger inserted into the barrel. The
marks of the rifiing in the barrel are clearly
visible on the bullet, which was very much
flattened from striking the skull Altogether,
a more interesting and CHASTITY curio | have
never seen. While handling the pistol
looked at the end of the breech. | found
there q receptacle for percussion caps, which
had evidently been overlooked, and upon
opcuing it found solitary cap, which
Booth had evidently put there himself, in
tending, If by any chance the one on the tube
OF the pistol exploded without firing it, &c
have another ready to his hand.-Washington
Herald.

Various schemes are adopted by the owners
Of corner buildings to prevent loafers from
making the neighboring sidewalk gather
ing place, but none Of these has been more
effectual than that adopted at the Western
Union building, at Twenty-third street and
Fifth avenue There are neither railings nor
heavy spikes to keep the loafers from as
sembling, and, indeed, the construction Of
the building itself is such as to have the most
inviting look for these people. Under the
windows, between the doorways, there are
broad lodges, which appear like cool and in
viting seats The pneumatic tubes, which
run from this point to the Western Urion
building down town, require steam for their
operation, and from the boilers under the
building, placed there for this service, pipes
have been run beneath these iron lodges,
which are constantly kept in high degree of
heat. At almost any hour Of the day passers-
by may observe some man or men lazily 1op-
ping down ON the seats and then jumping up
again with hssty movements and profane ex-
claInations as the result Of the contact of the
hot iron. The corner il never crowded and
the scheme works to perfection. York

Selling Jewelry on Easy Payments

Man with a Foolish Wife.

Often, when going out OF London about Q
g. m, have confronted the trains full Of
busy, anxious-looking men hurrying into
London, and have said to myself: Il won
der how many of these poor, hard-worked
fellows have wives or sisters or daughters
who really help them, take the weight Of
life little off their shoulders, expend their
substance wisely, keep from them domestic
worries, and, above all, take care Of the
money! But for my wife l should have
been in the workhouse," is the secret con-
sciousness of many man; and it is a curious
fact that while many a woman makes the
best of not too estimable husband, no
power on earth can save man who has got
an unworthy or even foolish wife. He
cannot raise her, and he himself will gradu-
ally
Lower tn her level day by day,

woman he finds himself saddled with not
only his own share Of the life burden,
but hers The more generous and tender
hearted he is, the more he is made a victim,
both to her and his children, till he sinks into
the mere bread-winner of the family, who
has his work TO do, and does it through pride,
duty love, or a combination of all three
usually without a word Of complaint-does it
till he drops. Men have a great deal of error
to answer for, but the silent endurance Of
many middle-aged family men" TO whom
often alasl through the wife's fault-domestic
life has been made a burden rather than a
blessing, ought to be chronicled/ /by the re

In Berlin there is an association OF theo-
logical students bearing the name "Wingol-
iites,n which has for years observed on the
Wednesday before Ascension day the curious
custom of divining for the emperors destiny.
The way Of doing this is unique. The men,
bers of the association proceed from Berlin to
the village Of Pichelswerder on the Havel, and
here they celebrate the anniversary Of the
guild at the Wnhelmshohe restaurant. They
Immediately climb up an oak tree in the CEN
ter Of the garden and seat themselves on the
branches. Beer is handed up from the ground
and after the third glass has been drained the
president delivers the anniversary speech,
after which cheer is given for the emperor.
Then at the word of command oil glasses
are hurled to the ground and the notion is
that the emperor will live as many years as
there are broken glasses. This year twelve
glasses were broken, so that the emperor
should yet be a centenarian-Psll Mall Ga
