CHAPTER x.

AN UNEXPECTED MEETING.
Cheer upon cheer filed the air, and the
long lines Of blue-coats could already be
seen climbing the ramparts, over which the
stars and stripes were waving.
''Is he killed, or shall I find him among
the prisonersp Luke asked himself, as he
entered the works at the head of his regi-
ment.
Long he searched among the liv ,ng, then
the dead, and finally went among the
wounded Confederates
"FOr whom are you searchingl" Gen
eral Grant asked, coming upon the young
officer who had saved his life At Belmont, as
he was making some inquiries Of q wound

General Grant was not Q man to give
much outward expression to emotion, but
he had . warm, sympathetic heart That
very morning he had met an old class-mate
and army friend, taken from him his sword
and made him prisoner, and he knew what
il was to b Inundated.

A SINGULAR HABIT.

Men Who Garry Thousands Of Dollars'
Worth Of Precious Stones.
"Because q man displays no jewelry
upon his person it does not signify that he
doesn't care for such things.
"There are plenty of men who are as pas
sionately fond Of jewels as any woman who
ever lived, but they seem to regard the feel
ing as q weakness which they are half
ashamed Of Some men will own right mp,
but they don't like to display their treasures,
because it is not considered good taste to
wear much jewelry.
81 know of half dozen business men
and professional men who do not wear 50
much as q watch chain; yet they carry
about in their trousers pockets thousands
of dollars worth Of unset jewels. This Is .
little out of the ordinary, but it is fact
nevertheless.
1.-THE late Henry Ward Beecher used to
carry in his pockets . number Of beautiful
diamonds, pearls and other precious stones,
which he would sometimes take out in his
hand and gaze at in admiration for several
minutes at q time. He explained this habit
by saying that they delighted and fas-
mated him. He used to say that it was one
Of the traces Of our far-back barbarian
origin-the innate fondness for bright gems.
~ know Of . physician uptown who.
while riding about in his carriage on sick
calls, entertains himself by jingling q. lot Of
unset diamonds, rubies and emeralds IN his
hands. He sometimes groups them on tho
seat opposite and looks at them, while his
face is 1t up with admiration and pleasure.
"Do ladies have this habit Well, think
not. Inevef met . woman who cared to
hide her jewels in her pockets. On the
contrary. they always like TO have them Get

Prof. Bowers experience and obser-
walton i'll school work has led him TO

The Pawnbroker Ordinance So Drawn rs
10 Reach Them.
Tho only ordinance introduced by the
Judiciary Committee ON Wednesday even
ing NJ the Council meeting Was an ordinance
concerning pawnbroksrs and junk shops.
II was read . first time by title, and it's
object, as explained by the City Attorney
who prepared ii, 10 10 reach the fence
houses principally and give the police the
necessary authority 10 enter them ut oil
times In search OF stolen goods. II Ia also
expected to facilitate the administration Of
Justice by the provision requiring an accu.

This provision will come hard upon some
Of these nov engaged in the business as
the entry 10 the book required to DO kept
must be made in readable English with
which they are but imperieetly acquainted.
The provisions Of the ordinance are, in
hriet, a. follows:
The first section defines what y pawn

memorandum or note Of the article

which there shall he no charge. The third
section requires every pawnbroker aud

secondhand dealer, or keeper Of y junk stare
shall keep q book, in which shalt be written
fairly in ink at the time OF each loan or
purchase an accurate account and de-
scription in the English Language OF the

shall be obiteratd. erased or defsced.
The fourth section provides that the above
book rs well as any article or thing pawned
or pledged shall be open to tho inspection
OF the city marshal or any policeman. The
fith section makes it unlawful to purchase
or receive in pledge any property or article
Of value from drunken people, or known
thieves or from q minor.
The City Council has not the power to
make any laws or regulations concerning
the rate OF interest to be charged by pawn
brokers. That is n matter that the Lesis-
latare only is competent Ia deal with. On
Monday Mr., Davis pave notice OF n bill to
regulate pa~nhrokers and junk shops, and

OF the mines, the method Of ventilation,

Sections Is, II, 10 and 10 provide for
certain details OF the law, and the next
section declares that tho oct does mol
apply to mines In which fewer than hve
men are employed. or TO mines In which
no person other than owners or iessees
are permitted to work.
This epitome OF House bill 10 will
serve to give the public m idea Of the

Generally, the bill Is q good one. II
should not pass, however. until. one OF
two important amendments are made
The Inspector or his deputy OF assistant
should be required to visit each mine
twice In each year. Once Is not often
enough.
Another amendment should be made
requiring or allowing the Inspector to ap-
point a deputy In each mining district,
this officer to be paid only when actually
on duty. An Inspector and his deputy
cannot properly fulfil the provisions 70.

may be three or more mines needing the
attentions Of one OF these oficerc on the
