A French DueIist In Armor.

Gen. Mawry, who has Just been appointed
United States minister to Bogota, is littIs
bit of a fellow who does not look as though
he would make much headway in u fight SIM
lar to that which caused the removal of Min
lister Jacobs few days ago, and yet Mawry
has the reputation Of being one Of the grittiest
and bravest men that the south ever produced
I:heard a good story of him the other
day which will serve TO illustrate this point.
1t seem that great many years ago, when he
was young man, Mawry was in Alabama and
among his friends numbered a very wealthy
family named Hunt A dapper little French
man, who represented himself as a nobleman
was very attentive to one of the young ladies
of the family and treated her very shamefully
He was an unprincipled scoundrel, and his
action was due to the belief that he could not
be called to account for any of his transgres-
sions from the path of rectitude.
When Mawry heard of his treatment of the
girl he at once set out as her champion and
challenged the Frenchman to duel The
challenge WAS accepted, although it was
not known to the friends who represented him
or the Frenchman himself that Mawry WAS a
dead shot Revolvers were chosen. The bel
ligerents fired three times without percepti-
bic effect on either side The seconds asked
Gen. Mawry if he was satisfied He replied
No, am not, and will fetch him this time -
. Again they faced each other, and once more
the pistols were raised and the bullets whistleL
through the air The Frenchman fell, the
bullet having entered his mouth and passed
through the back Of his head
He was examined by the surgeon, when it
was found that under his vest he wore n metal
plate, upon which was plainly the indentation
of the three shots Mawry had previously fired,
all of which were within half an inch of his
heart-Mmneapolis Tribune.

Many years ago, before the introduction of
friction matches, an old farmer used TO light
his finder for the morning fire by the use of
an old fint-lock musket. One day in his alb
sence the wife loaned the mIIsket to a neigh
Dor, who returned it loaded, and mentioned
the fact 10 the woman as he handed it to her.
But her husband did not return home until
past midnight, being on a rOusing spree. He
Crept into bed without waking his wife to en-
joy lecture. Next morning he rose in 20
season, with the usual thirSt and hamm
ing headache. After rubbing a few co
webs out of bis eyes and taking
"wee drop" from the remains of the
over night, he commenced preparations for
starting the fire. The splinters We're col
lected, and the finder placed in the pan of
the lock; click! went the hammer, and the
explosion that followed shook the house, dis
pellinS the fumes of liquor from the old
mans faculties and rousing his wife with a
sudden alarm Guessing at the trouble she
exclaimed, while not fully awake: "Th-th- that
gun is loadedr" Looking with an empty
stare at the smoking gun and at the bullet
hole in the bedstead, just about two inches
above his wife's head, the fond husband re
piled: mo, I'll be darned If it is."-T. J.

Gen. Dick Taylor's first remarkable service
in the war of the rebellion was in StonewaIl
Jackson's famous campaign in the Valley of
Virginia At Port Republic the Louisiana
brigade carried the day and responded with
cheers TO Jackson's command: "The battery
must be taken" Gen Taylor was not a great
admirer of Jackson, whom he described as a
man given over to lemon sucking and prayers.
On this occasion, riding on the flank of his
column, between it and the hostile line, he
saw Jackson beside him. Taylor did not con.
slider that this was the place for the com
mander of the army, and ventured to tell
him so; but he paid no attention to the re-
mark
I'VE reached a shallow depression where
the enemy could depress his guns" said Gen.
Taylor, "and his fire became close and fatal.
Many men fell, and the whiStling of shot and
she'll occasioned much ducking OF heads in the
column. This annoyed me no little, as it was but

sharp tones of a familiar voice produced the

To-day thousands on thousands never think
of controlling the character of their thought
They allow their minds to drift They never
say of a thought that is troubling them, Il
won't think Of it." Unconsciously then they
demand what works them ill. and their bodies
are made sick by the kind of thought which
they allow their minds to fasten on.
When YOU realize the injury done you
through any kind of troubled thought, you
will then commence to acquire the power of
throwing off such thought. When III mind
you commence to resist any kind of such in
furious thought, yOu are constantly gaining
more and more power for resistance. Resist

Volumes OF Truth IN Thfee sentences
Seldom do we find in three sentences so
many pungent truths and ringing deciara-
tions of principles as Gen. Edward +. Noyes,
speaking of the Republican party, expressed
in the following:
with regard to all great measures, our
party occupies to-day the field of its victories
with nothing to regret, or explain, or apollo
gize for. IL stands upon its old platform,
without a single rotten plank, or without
post decayed or weakened. 1t stands to-day
for the equal rights and privileges of all men
before the law; for purity Of elections: a free
ballot and an honest count; for the protection
Of American industry and capital, whether
engaged in agriculture or manufacture,
whether in the hands of the woolgrowers or
rail maker; against the cheap labor and free
trade heresies of England, and the Demo-
cratic parties of the United States; for up
holding the rights of all American citi-
zens, native and naturalized, against ma
tions however powerful, on land and sea; for
liberal pensions TO our old soldiers, their
widows and orphans; for a sound currency,
with gold and silver standards; for safe
and convenient banking system; for honest
and economical administration; for wise leg
islation and just Judicial decisions; for the
encouragement and development of the re-
sources of the whole country; for the Imposi-
ton of Just taxation upon such traffic as
renders taxation necessary; for the adjust
ment of all difficulties and disputes between
capital ami labor, in accordance with the
principles inaugurated and i'll ustrated by
our international arbitrationS with England
and France, which resulted in decisions hon.
orable to all concerned, and conducei to the
highest good of all-realizing as we do that
capital can never be remunerative without
the cooperation and aid OF the sous of toll,
and that labor must depend for employment
and fitting compensation upon accumulated

The Railway Companies and Our Fnblic
ThoroughfareS-


The long-pending question relating TO
what local privileges should be granted to
railway companies in the line of laying
tracks across public streets, cannot be set
tied by the making of single speech or the
printing of one newspaper article. The
matters In dispute are complicated. That
pruperty-hOlderS on south Market street
have been enduring great hardships cannot
be disputed, and they have an undoubted
right to protest against an increase of those
harIlships. At the same time it is true that
the increasing freight and passenger busi-
Ness OF our railway companies demands a
larger area of space and increased facilities.
This is not simply in the interest of the
railway companies but of the general busi-
ness public. But there must be protection
for the lives and property of those who
pass over our city streets, either on foot or
in vehicles. The portion of Market street
which crosses the Panhandle tracks is very
dangerous. aS occasional catastrOphes have
shown. Whatever may be said as 10 the
councils action in trading the right of way
for third track across Market for certain
privileges granted by the Panhandle com
pany, it is quite certain that the passing of
a resolution requiring gates To be erected at
both the Market street and Center street
crossings is a step in the right direction.
But more efficient act would be TO require
the company 10 erect good. substantial
bridges over the streets named, so that there
should be no interruption, whatever, TO the
passage of either people on foot or in We
hicleS Of any sort.
1t would be still better for our railway
companies and for the people Of the city TO
have the freight depots removed from the
center of town TO locations outside. where
tracts of territory could be secured for
buildings and tracks corresponding in di
mensionS TO the continually enlarging de-
mands of the traffic.
This is large matter: il is Of practical
concern to our entire population. and re-
quireS close study. What we need is an
enlargement of facilities for the transaction
of business, with at the same time. protec
ton to the rights and privileges of the citi-
zens of all sections.

A newly invented machine for forging iron
or steel in any form in which the metal can
be turned involves a new method of working
iron. Instead of being hammered or rolled
to the desired form, the mass of red-hot metal
is placed on a groove in two plates, which are
moved i'll different directions. The grooves
are in primitive form at the places where the
iron first enters between the plates, and along
its course these grooves move closely in con-
formity to the shape which is given to the
finished piece, and it is thus twisted into the
desired form.-New York Mail and Express
