He Needs a Wife.


Speaking of dogs, reminds me of remark
able change which have noticed recently in
the character of a very morose and surly per
son. Until lately he was never known to put
himself out for anybody, and few people vent
ured to address him unless they had something
particularly pleasant to communicate | need
not say that speak of bachelor He is fell
low of regular habits, and have met him TAX
ing his constitutional exactly five miles and q
half, as he once told me-any day during these
five years past. He is always alone, and if a
dark and deserted corner can he found In the
cluD dining room, this man will take his chop
there, glowering over it like dog with bone
Recently, in some manner which l have not
yet ascertained, but it must have been
extraordinary, he became possessed
of a small dog that take to be one of the span
el variety. The care of this little innocent beast
seems to have awakened a tender feeling in the
hard heart of his master. Yesterday met the
fellow patiently Standing by on the common
while his dog took roll on the grass; and once
or twice lately have heard him, in q rather
shamefaced way asking, questions concerning
the relative merits of oatmeal and corn cake,
etc, as food for pups. In his thirst for knowl-
edge upon these topics he has already made two
or three new acquaintance among the younger
and sporting element of our fraternity and l
should not be surprised to find that he was sur
reptitiously carrying few dry bones In his
pockets. Ihave read of similar cases before,
but this is the first time that have run across
man who was regenerated by the ownership of
a dumb animal.

on them.
Whether you shall offer to kiss the infant de-
ponds somewhat on its age and appearance,
and the extent to which you are willing to sac
rifice yourself in order to please the baby S

A Noted Paris Cub Gambler.

Paris Dispatch TO london Telegraph.
One of the best known figures of the baccarat
table of q famous Paris club has Just passed
away In the person of Baron de Bastart He
was 60 years old, and had spent the greater part
of his life in gambling. Every afternoon at
O'Clock the baron went punctually to his club.
aud played steadily until o'clock on the fol
lowing morning, with but brief intervals for
dinner and supper. One would think that a
man who gambled so steadily and persistently
should sometimes rake in some considerable
sums, but, strange to relate, the baron was
never known 10 win. He was very wealthy,
owing TO lucky mining speculations, and did
not know the extent of his means. His pas
sion for play and his extraordinary i'll luck
made the fortune of his club, as well AZ of the
decdves who frcquented it, and whose favorite
expression when taking hand with the opu-
lent but unlucky gambler, was that they were
about to milk the cow" Sometimes the baron,
after having been beaten over and over again
and tieeced out of small fortunes, would insist
on continuing the game when his victorious op-
ponents were tired out and wanted TO spend
some of their winnings on a nocturnal noce. In
this frame of mind, NJ. de Bastart would run
after his friends and implore them to stay just
for another hand. His pressing invitations
were seldom refused. and those who Invested
themselves of their overcoats and returned with
him TO the green tables were never sorry for
having remained with the veteran gambler
until the morning brolrA

Minerals Produced in 1897.

From advance sheets, sent out by David
I. Day, of the United States geological sur
vey, giving the total production of va
rious minerals i'll this country in 1887, it
appears that the increased value of the
metallic and non-metallic mineral substances
over 1886 was S73,0O0,000, the total value
for 1887, being $685., 056, 345. There was an
increase in price in nearly all of the metals,
and in quantity in all except gold and
nickel. In pig iron, to which the
south is giving much attention, the
increase in the quantity consumed
was 733, $40 tons, and in value
$2G, 1900 There was decrease of 81
$780, 900 in the value of gold produced, but
in silver the increase was S3,441 300, Man
ganese valued at $685. was produced.
The increase In the quantity of coal was
Ii, 2S3, GAG tons, and in value S2G, 418,241. In
coke there was the greatest yield ever
reached in the United States, the number
of tons being 1851, 4S7 The value of build
ing stones produced was S25, 900, 600 and
that of corundum, which is supplied en-
tirely by Georgia and North Carolina mines,
was sl0S,000. In South Carolina phosphate
rock there was an increase in production
of $4,000 tons, but owing to greater compe-
tition, which reduced the prices to So 70
per ton for land and "a per ton for river
rock, there was decline in the value. In
marls about 600, coo tons, valued at $500, 000
were produced. There were S,259,6 gal
Ions of mineral water sold, in 1887, having
a value of 81, 261, 473.
1t has been proposed to hold in Nashville,
in 1890, southern mineral exposition, and
the proposition has met with favor in diff
ferent parts of the south. An exposition of
that sort, representing, as it would, the
mineral products of the south from the
crude to the finished state, would be some
thing of revelation

to touch his majesty. but a man servant who

trying to roll ont of the cradle and threatened
to hurt himself by screaming. lifted him out.

The Souls Farewell to the Body.


RepubItshed at the request of Mrs. Ella Wheeler
WHcor.
So we must part forever; and although
long have beat my wings and cried TO go
Free from your narrow, limiting control
Forth into space, the true home of the SOUL
Yet now, yet now, that hour is drawing near,
pause reluctant, finding you so dear
All JOY awaits me- in the realm of God
Must you, my comrade, moulder meath the sod ?
was your captive; yes you were my slave;
Your prisoner; yes, obedience you gave
To all my earnest wishes and commands
Now to the worm | leave those willing hands
That toiled for me, or held the books read,
Those feet that trod where'er babe them
tread,
Those arms that clasped my dear ones, and the
breast
whereon our loved and loving one found rest
Those lips through which my prayers to God
have risen,
Those eyes that were the windows to my prison,
From these, all these, deaths angel bids me
sever,
Dear comrade, Body, fare thee we'll foreveri
go to my Inheritance; and go
With joy that only freed soul can know.
Yet in my spirit wandern2s trust
may pause sometimes near your sacred dust
