SH HAEED BY A BULLET.
How General Had His Mustache Cut Off
Without q Razor.
From the Youths Campanion.

From the Youths Campanion.
The following incident is narrated by
an officer on the staff Of General ]. F..
3. Stuart, of the confederate army. The
operation was Il neat one, but most men
would rather he shaved with a razor
than with bullet.
General. Stuart, as usual, greatly
exposed his own person on horseback
by riding out of the wood in the open
field, and I felt it my duty to say to
him that in my opinion he was not in
his proper place, as in a few minutes
the whole fire Of the enemy would be
concentrated upon him.
But he was in very bad humor, and
answered curtly that if this place SEEM
ed likely to become too hot for me l
was at liberty to leave it; whereupon I
made response that since my duty
attached me to his side, no place could
be too hot for me where he chose to go.
Nevertheless / changed my position,
and cautiously brought large tree, in
front of which l had been standing,
between myself and the enemy.
In an instant the firing began and
three bullets struck the tree at just the
height to show that, had remained
where 1 was they would certainly have
gone through my body. Looking at
Stuart, I saw him pass his hand quickly
across his face, and even at that serious
moment I could not help laughing
heartily when I discovered that one Of
the numberless bullets that had been
whistling round him had cut off half
of his beloved mustache as neatly as it
could have been done by the hand of an
barber.

THE POPE TO LEAVE ROME.
Negotiating for the Purchase of an Islet in
the NJ editerranean.

L'Cnivcrs, Of Paris, referring to the
circular note Of Cardinal Rampolia to The
powers, protesting against the insults
offered to the vatican by the Italian
government, makes statement which
cannot fail to create sensation il the
Roman Catholic world, and, if verified
by subsequent events, to mark al era
in the history of Italy and Of Europe
of which the only modern prototype is
the exile of Pope Plus IN.
L'Univers announces that Pope Leo
AI1I, forseeing that in the early future
he will be forced by the persistent hos
tility of the Italian government to
quit Rome, has already opened neyotia-
tions for the purchase of an islet il the
Mediterranean, near the French coast,
whittier he and his household vii! be
able to retire wheni it becomes necessary
for him to leave the eternal city. The
council ofthe vatican is now engaged in
earnestly discussing the situation, and
there is a general conccnsus Of opinion
that the departure from Italy should
not be long delayed. Some Of the pre-
lates favor a retreat to Malta, but no
decision has yet been reached as to the
future seat ofthe holy see.

Killed by an Alligator.

[Orangeburg Times and Democrat
Mr.. I. J. Salley told US Of rather
singular occurrence, which happened
last week. While he and a number of
friends were fishing in the Edisto River
they saw large deer enter the water
and attempt to cross the stream, but the
current being pretty strong it turned
back and landed again on the same
side. 1t then disappeared up the
stream. Shortly after raft came down
from the direction in which it had gone
with the deer on it, the hands having
taken it from large alligator, which
had evidently caught it wheni itentered
the river the second time. The deer
was still warm when Mr.. .Salley saw it,
and was only bitten a little on the back.

MANY USES OF EGGS.
They Are Said to be Better for Scholars
Brains Than Fish.
Eastern Farmer.

Eggs are a meal in themselves
Every element that is necessary for the
support Of man is contained within the
limit Of all egg-shell in the best proper
tions and most palitable form. Plain
boiled they are wholesome. The mas
ters of French cookery, however, affirm
that it is easy to dress them in five hun
dred different ways, each method no1
economical, but salutary in the highest
degree.
No honest appetite ever rejected al
egg in some guise. Its nutriment in
the most portable form and in the
most concentrated shape. Whole na'
tons of mankind rarely touch any
other animal food. Kings eat them
plain as readily as do the humble
tradesmen. After the battle Of Muhi-
dorf, when Kaiser Ludwig sat at 4
meal with his burggrals and great cstn-
tams, he determined on a piece OF buX-
ury-"one egg to every man and two
to the eXcellently valiant Schewpper-
man."
Far more than fish-for it is a watery
diet-eggs are the scholars fare. They
contain PHOSPHORUS, which is brain
food, and sulphur, which performs
q variety of functions in the economy.
And they are the best Of nutriment for
children, for in a compact form they
contain everything that is necessary to
the growth of the youthful frame.
Eggs are, however, not only food-they
are medicine also. The white is the
most efticacious of remedies for burns,
and the oil extracted from the yolk is
regarded by the Russians as an almost
miraculous salve for cuts, bruises and
scratches.
A raw egg, if swallowed in time, will
effectually detatch fish bone fastened
in the throat, and the whites Of eggs
will render the deadly corrosive subli-
mate as harmless as dose of calomel.
They strengthen the consumptive, in
vigorate the feeble, and render the
most susceptible all but proof against
jaundice in its most malignant phase.
The merits of eggs do not even end here.
In France alone the wine CHARTERS
use more than sO,0OO,OOO a year, and
the Alsatians consume fully 3S,0O0,0O0
in calico printing and for dressing the
leather that is used in making the
finest French kid gloves. Even egg
shells are valuable, for allopath and
home9path alike agree in regarding
them the purest of the carbonate of
lime.

PRICE $3.50 A YEAR
SAGE MAY REWARD HIM.
He is Not Ungrateful to the Boy Who
Found His Money.

New YORK, July 13.-A story about
Russell Sage is being variousiy told
| about town. 1t was related that he
dropped S25 in store, and that when
the finder, a boy, returned the money
to him he patted the youngster on the
head and told him that his honesty
would bring him reward some time or
other. a careful investigation locates
the incident at a well-known clothing
establishment in Broadway.
"Mr. Sage came in here" said a MEN,
ber Of the firm, "and bought suit Of
clothes. Mr.. Sage kept on the new
suit and had his old ones sent to his
office. In transferring the contents Of
the pockets he dropped a roll of bills.
After his departure one of the cash
boys found this wad of money and
turned it in to the cashier, but there
was nothing on it to indicate the
ownership, and it was put away
to await inquiries. Mr.. Sage came
in next day and said that he had lost
ONE money there. He knew the
amount to dollar and it was returned
to him. The cashier called up the
finder and introduced him to the mill
lionaire, who did pat him on the head
and advised him to always be honest
that it would pay him in the long run.
Did he give him anything then? No.'
When Mr.. Sage was asked if he had
lost and found the money in the man
ner described, he corroborated the
account above given up to the point
where the boy was presented to him.
''That was an honest boy" was sug-
gested.
"Y-e-s," Mr.. Sage thoughtfully re-
sponded. II told the young fellow
that he would get along-that honesty
was indeed the best policy-and so it
is. 1t doesn't pay boy or man, in
little or big matters, to be dishonest"
II should think that in view of the
fact that honest boys are none too
plenty in New York, that you might
make use of that specimen somehow
here in your office"
''That is just what I was thinking,
but somebody told me that a yarn was
going around Wall street about the
understanding to the effect that /
didn't reward the boy, and wouldn't
doso. Now, I amt going to be bull
dozed in a little thing Of that sort. /
guess I'll find place in which to start
that urchin, however, and mebby it
will be in this Office. I don't know
that it is doing a youth good turn of
set him to work in Wall street-on the
whole, guess it isn't-but we do want
all the honesty we can get hold Of
here"

WILL DO TO STAND BY.
The Nestor of journalism Talks to the
Badger State Editors.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, July 24-Charles
\. Dana, editor of the New York Sun,
delivered an address this evening at the
Academy of Music to the Wisconsin
Editorial association. The hall was
crowded, and the veteran editors dis
course on journalism was warmly ap-
plauded.
Mr.. Dana said there were no set
maXims and rules for journalists. Doc
tors and lawyers might have them,
but there were very few rules used by
newspaper men. Mr.. Dana submitted
the following:
"First, get news, get all news and
nothing but news.
Second, copy nothing from another
publication without giving perfect
credit.
"Third, never print an interview
without knowledge and consent of per-
son interviewed. Applause and laugh
ter
Fourth, never print paid advertise
ment as news matter. Set every one as
an advertisement. No sailing under
false colors. [Applause.]
"Fifth, never attack the weak or de-
fenseless, either by argument or by
ridicule, unless there is some absolute
public necessity for SO doing.
"Sixth, fight for your opinions, but
don't believe they contain the whole
truth or the only truth.
"Seventh, support your party if you
have one loud laughter and applausel,
but don't think all good men are in it
and all bad men outside.
Eighth, above all, know and believe
that humanity is advancing, and that
there is progress in human life and
human affairs [applause], and that as
sure as God lives, the future will be
greater and better than the present or
the past. Applause.
"That" said Mr.. Dana, "is a pretty
general code. It seems to me it covers
the case very we'll"

The Ouinine Fiend.
T From the New York Telegram.

From the New York Telegram
a tall, fine-looking woman, dressed
in the latest fashion, entered an up
town drug store last evening, and
approaching the counter, leaned wea-
rily against it. The clerk, who was
waiting on another customer, reached
to shelf and taking down little box,
shook three pills into bit of paper. He
passed them to the fashionable lady,
and gave her glass of mineral water.
After putting the pills in the 81 lass the
lady drank the water, and with sigh
of relief, hurried from the shop. Not a
word passed between either customer
or clerk, and no money was paid for
the pills.
"Well, that beats me-" exclaimed a
visitor.
1T is rather singular" " said the clerk,
smiling, "but such things happen here
every day. That customeris we'll known
in the social world. She has got the
auinine habit, which will kill her in
the end. There is too much of this
quinine business going on, but we have
to keep up with the times. That lady
exhausted herself in social and chari-
table visits, and then began to take
a tive-grain pill of quinine to brace up
on. She did it by the advice of friend.
From five grains every evening, she
advanced to fifteen, and soon she will
want twenty.
"She likes to feel cheerful and look
we'll when she goes out with her hus-
band, and having become slave of
quinine she takes it as a Stimulant. But
her husband is ignorant of the habit.
She pays us$l.50 aweek and we keep
the pills here for her. There are many
ladies in Ward McAllisters exclusive
400 whoare slowly dying of the habit" +"

One Of Toomb's Slaves.
From the Methodist Protestant.

From the Methodist Protestant.
Uncle Billy Toombs, of Georgia, died
last week, at the ripe age Of eighty
seven years. When General Toombs
was born, Billy was eleven years old,
and was at once assigned to duty as the
boy in waiting to the baby. When
young Toombs grew up and married,
his father presented him with Billy,
and ever afterwards the closest friend
ship existed between the two. Billy
accompanied his master to Washington,
to the fashionable watering places and
to Europe. In this way he became ia
miliar with many distinguished people.
Before the war he had an intense hatred
for the abolitionists, refusing to coun-
tenance them in any way. When the
war was over, and the Toombs family
had gathered once more at the old
family mansion, Billy returned there
as we'll as the rest. "Iou are free now"
said General Toombs to him. "Ill
never be free from old MASTER" said he,
"but will follow you all my life" To
this General Toombs replied, every
we'll, then, I'll take care Of YOU" Ever
after Billy was the most devoted of ser
wants, looking after his masters inter-
ests as though they were his own.
When General Toombs died, two years
ago, he left full provision for Uncle
Billy's maintenance, and no mourner
at the generals grave shed warmer
tears than did the faithful old African,
who fingered there long before the
crowd had melted away. Uncle Billy
will be remembered as one of the few
Africans who absolutely refused to ac-
cept their freedom.
