How He Got a New Start.


The grandfather of the missing Belle
Brown is hale aud hearty old gentleman
of so odd years, rugged and bronzed. He
has lived all his life near Alexandria, Va,
and before the war was miller. The fol-
10 wing anecdOte of the old gentleman was
related yesterday by man who knows
bim we'll:
After the surrender" as all events oc-
curing in the South since the war are
dated from, Mr.. Brown found himself with
many of his neighbors dead broke" He
had to begin life over again, and without
any capital tor every thing had gone up in
the whirlwind of destruction which devas-
tated that part of Virginia. One day quon-
dam acquaintance who had some money
proposed to Mr.. Brown to rent -four mill
in the country near by and run it, Brown
to furnish the experience and labor and
the other the capital The offer was at
once accepted. Mr.. Brown rode out to the
mill and rented it. Returning to town to
secure the wherewithal to buy wheat and
begin operations, he was astonished to find
his partner had backed out. Not cent
would he put up. Vainly did Mr.. Brown
argue that his word was given for the rent
of the mill The partner would not come
to time. well, I'll have to run it myself"
was the resolve of the sturdy miller, and
straightway he stalked up to the bank.
II want to open an account here. Give
me bank book and check book" Leav-
ing his signature he went off with the
blanks and started for the mill Meeting
a farmer with q load Of wheat, he bought
the wheat and rendered his check in pay
ment, it being then after banking hours.
sits too late to get the money on your
check to-day" he explained to the farmer
but you can get it to morrow"
"Oh, that's all right. "Ill fetch you an
other load of wheat first"
The purchase of wheat was delivered at
the mill Mr.. Brown turned 70 and put
all hands to work, and by midnight had
the wheat ground into flour and barreled.
Early the next morning the, -four was at
the commission merchants ':arehouse in
Alexandria, an advance of money secured
on it, and when the bank opened Mr. Brown
was the first man to make deposit. That
is the way he got new start.

Williams Crown.
Paris Letter to The Jewellers Week.,

Paris Letter to The Jewellers WeekIyI
Emperor William has much smaller
head than his father and grandsire, and the
imperial crown, therefore, does not fit him.
A new one was ordered several months
ago, and it was sent to Berlin on Monday,
the 14th. This new emblem of sovereignty
weighs less than three pounds, although
made of massive gold; therefore the head
beneath will not be so uneasy after all. 1t
is ornamented with 100 diamonds, the ball
which surmounts it consisting of simple
polished sapphire.
The Empress is also to have new crown
as well as her lord and master. There will
be less gold about it and more stones, 1,500
diamonds of different sizes mixed with
few pearls.

noblest monument in the city. Weary of
waiting for the councilmen to accept for

eclipse anything of the kind in the country

An Opera that has Survived Fifty
Years.

On November 18th Verdi will celebrate
the performance of his first opera, which
took place at the Teatro ALA Scala, Milan,
Italy, on the same date in the year 1889.
In the same theatre, in 1886, was produced
his last opera, ''Otello" This is harmo-
nious protest against Wagner, and a return
to the simple purity of Italian opera in its
best school.
Giuseppi Verdi, who is still in good
health. was born in 1910. in the Duchy of
Parma where his father was an innkeeper.
He received his musical education at
Milan. In 1889 his first work, "Oberto di
San Bonifazio," was produced in the Sca.a
of that city. Other works OF this eminent
musician than those already mentioned are
''Ernani," 1874, "Rigoletto," 1851, "Trova-
TORE" 1853, "Traviata," 1854, and Mac
BETH" 1865 Verdi regards "Otello" as his
greatest work. He was q member of the
Italian Parliament in 1861, and Senator
in 1870

The Broken Sixpence.

They walked along the moor that day,
Amidst the blooming heather,
And never more beside the stream
They two might tryst together.
He broke a sixpence-they were scarce
Enough with him, poor fellow
And gave her half. he sunlight fell
Around them soft and mellow.
And then he clasped her In his arms
With all . lovers yearnlng,
And begeed her to be true to him
And walt till his returning.
She vowed-and tears were in her eyes
And pledged her woman's honor;
And then they parted, while the skies
snone pure and faint upon her.
Upon lonely battlefield
He lies at rest forever,
The broken siXpence In his breast
His spur to all endeavor.
But she ere many weeks had passed
Had wed wealthy brewer,
Whose beer-soaked sovereigns In her ears
Than lovers vows rang truer.
The golden light of simple love,
Upon her pathway beaming,
Was nothing to the golden coin
That paid for all her scheming.
Who knows II she has chosen well?
Is not a million better
Than Just a broken sixpence
And a faded, loving letter?

A MAN OF oENTLENEss.

Editorial in the Hickory Fork Sentinel: "The
revival which has for some time been going on at
this place, shows many evidences of becoming a
success. The Rev. Jim Boyle Lucas has proved
himself to be mourners' bench rubber OF no mean
ability. His methods gentle, when gentleness
will best serve the aim Of the church, but this
should not encourage people to take unseemly lib
critics with him during the most fervent parts of his
sermon. Night before last while Brother Lucas
was explaining the way in which the rams horn
was blown at Jericho, Tabbs Miller blew gourd-
handle in diabolical imitation of the horn Brother
Lucas paid attention to this act of discourtesy
but spoke feelingly of the men who YEARLY
trudged their way around the walls of the city,
solemny blowing with spurts of wind and great
faith the gnarled horn of the ram. Tabbs, instead
re- being impressed by this gentleness, pulled out
his cheeks in mighty endeavor and blew a blast 80
loud that calf standing in an adjoining lot,
kiched up his heels and bawled In doleful refrain
Then Brother Lucas stepped down from the pulpit,
ripped q hath from the wall and larruped Tabbs
until he begged for mercy Then Brother Lucas
knocked down several people who had laughed at
Tabbs, kicked old John Mills general principles
and then gave out a hymn Mourners focking
to the bench. Come one, come all"
