An Unfortunate Soldier.

The police often mistakenly decide
that a man is drunk simply because he
looks and acts as if he were; and many
an unfortunate suffurer from one or
other of the diseases which simulate
the appearance of intoxication has lost
his life through being taken to the
police station instead of to the hospital.
Col. Herbinger has been the victim of
an error of the same sort. If it has not
exactly cost him his life-for the all
ment which led to the misapprehension
is one that never spares, and rarely
tarries in it's course-it cost him for q
time the loss of his honor as soldier
and possibly hastened his end. Thd
disease from which the unfortunat of
ficer is now known to have been suffer}
ing at the time of the Lang-son dis
aster was cerebral anemia, the result of
an aneurism. In certain stages of this
malady the sufferer loses the power of
controlling his muscular movements
he is subject to fits of giddiness. the
face becomes pufed. and the complex-
ion assumes deep purple tinge. This
was. we know, Col. Herbinger's condi-
ton when Gen. Negrier's wound placed
him in command. His great misfor-
tune, after all, was to have to order
and conduct retreat not particularly
creditable to the generalship which
rendered such movement necessary.
Had he led the troops to victory, it
would never have been discovered that
he was drunk on the occasion.-St.
Jdmes's Gazette.

*The business man whose motto is
II can't trust"-can't rust with bad

acter to gracefully bear either.
"A vicious horse cares as little for its

for the woes his Master sends on him.
*Man has two sides. one for God and
the other for his neighbor. 1t is need

best side.

A Reconstructed Southerner.

&. Gen. Tillman, of South Carolina, is
one of the characters of the house,
writes correspondent of The Boston
Trareller. He is sixty years of age,
tall, well-proportioned, and, like Han
nibal Hamlin, has never worn an over
coat. In the coldest days in the winter
the general comes up to the capitol
usually with his coat unbuttoned and
looking as though the weather rather
suited him than otherwise. To-day
Gen. Tillman was coming down Penn
sylvania avenue, accompanied by n
friend. Walking in the opposite direc-
ton was one-armed ex-soldier, who
wore the badge of the Grand Army of
the Republic. Tillman, who fought in
the confederate army, and who is even
now fond of talking of their "lost
cause" stopped the veteran and said
in his peculiarly suave and genial man.
ner: Good morning, sir. I take off
my hat in recognition of true man.
hood" He chatted with the veteran
for moment, inquired about his
health, and then resumed his walk.
Later he said to a friend when question
cd about the affair: Eyes, sir, I will
take off my hat to any soldier, black or
white, ex-confederate or union. These
veterans are the types of true manhood.
and they shall have my homoge and re-
spect." Gen. Tillman was one of the
bravest officers sent into the field by
South Carolina to fight for the life of
the confederacy.

A Story Whose Inventor Is Entitled
to the Boss Prevaricator's Belt.
The old rounder, casting a medita-
tive glance toward where the sun had
gone down, said: ''Well, gentlemen,
I had little experience of my own
once. went down on the Chattahoo-
chez river, in Decatur county, to visit
an old friend. He had often told me of
the splendid fishing there, and L was
anxious to try it. 1t was late in the
evening when / got there, and l retired
early, so as to be ready for the fun next
day. 1 asked how far it was to the
creek, and they told me it was only a
few hundred yards. just beyond the
fence. By light next morning | was
up and securing good tackle and few
sawyers, started off toward the creek.
The fog was SO heavy, for it was woods
burning time, that l could not see any
distance ahead of me, and so groped
my way as best l could across
the little clearing. Reaching the
lcuCC OfClt lud my
way carefully. for did not want to
fall in the creek, l proceeded slowly
down the slope until thought | must
be near the waters edge. Batting my
hook l threw it forward, and just about
time enough for 1t to strike the water 1
felt pull, and with jerk brought in
a fine fellow. For ten minutes | stood
there and pulled them in, and then,
fearing that l would spoil one days
sport, regretfully retired, and by ac-
cident reached the house through the
fog. After breakfast the fog lifted and
we got ready for days enjoyment.
You may imagine my surprise when on
going to the place where l had caught
SO many early in the morning, l found
that it was full hundred yards from
the bank of the creek. The truth Is,
had not touched the water, but just
stood there and caught them out of the
fog. .''-AtlantG Constitution.

A Journalist in a Riot.

During the riots in 1868, writes How.
ard in The Boston Globe, was stand
ing, then city editor of The New York
Times, on the corner Of Fifty-third
street and Third avenue, watching the
flames lick story after story OF the
office and house occupied by Provost
Marshal Capt. jenkins.

men, while below me ON the other side
of the block were thousands and thou
sands of, as Bishop Hughes said linen,

ing there little old man came down
Third avenue, followed by half a
dozen young fellows. They taunted

natural impulse of youth l stepped be-
tween them, and giving the old man
the protection of my barrier, said, half
in earnest and half playfully, "Come.

They did. They let the old man
alone and turned upon me.
In twinkling my face was cut open,,
my watch and chain, my weeks salary.
and my pocketbook was gone, and L.
was flung helpless and bleeding upon,
the pavement. The entire mass be-
yond, thousands, rushed over, seeing a
man down. to trample ON him.
They seized me by my long, black
hair and yanked me up and down.;
They kicked and pounded me. Blood!
spurted from my face, covered my
clothing. l was in a minute a mass of
mud and blood. Toying with me as an
enraged tiger would with frightened
fawn, they tossed me here and kicked
me there, until fire company caught
me quickly in their arms and rushed
me around the corner to the engine
house on Lexington avenue. Before
the door was shut and bolted every win
dow in the engine house was smashed
with paving stones. Death starred us
in the face. Helpless, we waited its
coming.
Just then someone set fire to a
brown-stone house on Lexington ave-
nue.. The switch was turned, and with.
the same dash and nerve and impetu-
osity the thoughtless, reckless, damag
ing crowd left their victim for another.
They gutted the house, they tramped
on the people, they hanged the negro
servant to the lamp-post, and yelled
and screamed in frantic fury until
some other house was fired, to which,
with eager recklessness, they ran.
