Shots in Famous Old Revolver.
From the Boston Transcript.
The Listener witnessed this morning
an interesting little ceremony-the re-
moval of three charges from an old re.
volver which had been borne, and evil
IDENTITY used, by an officer on the field of
Cedar Creek, on October 10, 1864. On
that day Capt. q. +. W of the Thir-
tieth Massachusetts had, as he charged
with his company the stone wall behind
which the rebels were entrenched,
drawn this old tiye-shooter, of the most
approved ante-war type, which looks
about IS much like the ordinary Colt or
Smith & Wesson OF this day as a Reyolu-
tonary frelock does like the latest pat
tern of magazine rifle. The revolver
was loaded, but the captain had dis
charged two shots from it, Then he
himself was shot through the heart, and
fell. The men pushed on; the rebels
were driven from their position,
and defeat turned into victory: but
when Gen. Sheridan rode before
the reformed line, and complimented
the troops upon their bravery
the gallant captain lay back up
on the field, among the dead and
wounded. His revolver, with the
remaining three charges in it was sent
home to his family, and from that day
to this the charges remained In 1t, like
sheathed weapon ready for service. Dc
casion had arisen, however, to pass the
old pistol on TO a still younger hand,
and it was deemed best to draw the old
charges at last. So the three percussion
caps, that looked as old-fashioned as
flint-lock itself to this generation, were
4 h.. hI,t LOFT !
cartridges, were carefully drawn and
the powder fell out of them, some of it
as bright and doubtless as energetic, if
one were to test it, as when the captain
loaded his revolver before the battle of
Cedar Creek. To one who was there,
the sight of those old cartridges must
have brought back grim and moving
spectacle of as gallant charge AS the
war had known.
The UnloveIy woman.
From the Des Moines Mail
There is no more unloyely woman in
the world than a our-dlspoSltloned
woman She will say the bltterest
things, although smiling the while, and
make everyone with whom she comes
in contact uncomfortable. Sometimes
she is wrapped in suavity and ostenta-
tiuus piety and makes her personal afllic
tons and physical ills her capital for
gaining sympathetic listeners whose pa
thence she abuses henceforth. She can
tell you Ill reports about anybody, Will
warn you against the deceit of this one
and that one, manifests tlattering solicit
tude and interest in your private bust
ness, and is 50 glad that she met you in
time TO save you from the evil influence
of this and that fellow-church member.
She cloaks the heart of fiend in the
garb of a Christian. Strangers are her
especial victims. For downright mean,
cutting remarks, malicious woman
eXcels anything on record. A lovely
lady, who is a recent acquisition to Des
Moines, once told the writer of several
malicious remarks made to her by fell
low church woman soon after her adj
vent here. In speaking ola certain pastor,
one said: "Has DIR. Blank called on you
YETI Mop Well, l always gauge his
welcome to strangers in the church by
the length of time he takes in calling
upon them" OF course the sour woman
is found outside of the church and in
every grade of society, but it is she who
has publicly vowed to edo unto others"
that elicits especial contempt.
The Due d'Orleans Fat Ounce.
From the London Modern Society.
The Young Duke of Orleans, eldest
son of the Comte de Paris, who was re-
Gently visiting her majesty at Windsor,
is quite the most uninteresting youth it
is possible to imagine. We had occa-
sion to be brought IN contact with him
on several occasions a few years back,
when he was at school at the College
Stanislas, in P"rs, and the opinion
formed of him by his masters. o.,
that he was a dunce-was fully en-
dorsed by the comrades of his royal
highness. He was then suffering from
disease not at all uncommon with
French boys-extreme obesity amount
ing almost to deformity-and nothing
| more grotesque can well be imagined
| than the uuwieldy form of this royal
| fat boy, clad in the tight tunic of the
! Lycee. liability generally accom-
panies fairness, but the above case was
an exception to the usual rule, for the
| young duke was a most surly youngster
| and would certainly have received some
rough handling had he been at one of
our public schools But at Stanislas the
| priests protected him as best they
| could, although there are two sound
| drubbings to be recorded-one inflicted
| by young Gontaut Biron, whose moth
| er, by an odd coincidence, enjoys the
| hereditary title of "Gcuvernante DIES
| Enfants de France" or, in other words,
'Governess to the princes and princesses
| of the royal family of France.

Runaround.-A simple and effective
| preventive of the painful runaround has
| been tried with success by the writer,
as it has also been by others to whom
| he has recommended it. Before the
sore develops its approach is indicated
| BY pain and inflammation in the finger
! above and close to the nail. Atthis stage
scratch the nail of the finger affected with
pin or needle, first from end to end
| of nail and then across, andthe pain will
| depart.
Costiveness.-The following simple
remedy we know to have cured q most
| stubborn and distressing case of costlve-
ness: Take a tablespoonful (heaping)
| of bran, mixed with milk or water, be-
| fore meals.
Cold.-Dr. Alice, of Lancaster, now
| deceased, well known to the profession
| in this land and in Europe, prescribed
this simple remedy, which we have
known to have worked speedily and eff
Caciously in many cases: Soak tlaxseed
in cold water, to which add rock candy
| Qoaf sugar will answer) and lemons
| SuHlCltnt 10 MAKE strong lemODaue.
Take half glassful four or five times a
! day, or as often as relief is needed.
Guard against drafts or sudden chills, as
the remedy opens the pores.
Eucalyptus.
| The eucalyptus or rubber tree of Aus
| tralia has been introduced into California
where it thrives and grows very rapidly.
| There are several varieties of this tree
one of which, the eucalyptus globulus,
reaches in Western Australia the enor-
nous height of 300 feet The eucalvp-
tus calIosa sometimes attains the height
of 400 feet. These, however, are both
eclipsed by fallen giant in Victoria, q
