George BaIIou's Strange Injury

MIR. George II. Ballou, for many We ars
city editor of the Davenport Democrat.
and during that time recognized as the
liveliest in Iowa. but who recently was
obliged to give up his position because of
illness, had remarkable experience
while in the Union service during the
war He was shot through the lungs AZ
the battle Of Wilson's Creek. the bullet
entering his breast AMI coming out of his
back. He was brought from the battle
field in an ambulance to Springfield, Mo-,
and there put in the hospital, as it was
supposed to die. On learning that the
Union army was in retreat to Rola, he
got up from his cot and hurried after the
retreatiDg forces and had strength enough
left to catch up with the rear, when he
was put in the wagon and brought home,
then at Dubuque. Through his won.
derful vital force he survived his deadly
wound, but that no doubt is one of the
causes of his present illness. His case
was one OF the most remarkable that hap
pened during the war.

The Blind Chaplain of the h......

Rev. DR.. Milburn, the chaplain OF the
house of representatives, is a blind man. He
has been blind from childhood, but a man of
more distinguished appearance cannot be
found in congress. He bears u striking APP
pearance to Governor Gordon. The blind
chaplain, as he is usually called, is an invet-
crate smoker. He smokes n dozen or more
strong cigars daily and is seldom seen with
out one between his lips. His daughter leads
him 10 the Capitol each morning about II
O'Clock, and from that hour until noon he sits
in the reception room smoking while Miss
Milburn reads to him the morning papers
Whenever anything is read which strikes him
he asks to have 1t read a second time and il is
indeed, "a rare exception when in his opening
prayers he does not refer to something his
daughter has just read to him from the morn
ing papers. by his reference to current
events and the strikingly beautiful and elo-
quent language of his prayers, he has made a
friend of each and every member, and some
of the more religiously inclined always go to
the Capitol early just to hear the beautiful
morning prayer offered up by the blind
chaplain. Washington Cor Atlanta Con-

BuryinG "A Gendarme Alive.

gendarme was buried alive in village
near Grenoble. The man had become intoxi-
Gated ON potato brandy and fell into a pro
found sleep. After twenty hours passed in
slumber his friends considered him to be dead
particularly as his body assumed the usual
rightly of corpse. When the sexton, how
ever, was lowering the remains of the ill fated
gendarme into the grave no heard means and
knocks proceeding from the interior of the
"four boards" He Immediately bored holes
in the sides Of the coffin to let in air and then
knocked off the lid. The gendarme had, how
ever, ceased to live, having horribly mutt
lated his head in his frantic but futile efforts
to burst his coffin open. So terrible a case of
premature burial has hardly ever before been
reported in this country, where hasty inter-
ments are only too common-Paris Cor.
