A Beautiful Legend.

After Stonewall Jackson's death, at
Charlottesville, story became cur
rent in the Confederate army which
the soldiers loved to repeat over their
bivouac fires-that, on account of his
extreme piety, when their famous
chieftain fell, a detachment of angels
left the heavenly gates to visit the bat
tie field and escort the hero's soul into
Paradise. The celestial squadron
searched the close strewn plain, but
without effect. He whom they sought
could not be found, and they returned
mournfully to heaven to report their
want Of success. But 10, on arriving
they found the spirit of the immortal
warrior there already. Stonewall
jackson had made flank march and
got to heaven before them ~

Senator Beck's Sudden Death.

From Saturdays Washington Dispatch.]
Senator j. B. Beck, of Kentucky,
died at the Baltimore and Potomac
Railroad station at 4:15 this afternoon.
He had just arrived on the train and
dropped as he was passing through the
main waiting room. He was carried
into the station masters Office and was
dead when the physician reached his
side few minutes later.
We deeply regret the death, espe-
cially this sudden death, of Senator
Beck, who was no less distinguished
tor his high personal character, his
scrupulous honesty and sterling worth
than for his unusual abilities. He
was born in Scotland in 1922, and was
in his 69th year. Coming to this
country in early manhood, he located
in 1916 at Lexington, Kentucky,
where he entered upon the practice of
the law. and in 1868 was elected to
the House of Representatives, where
he remained for eight years, and was
elected Senator in 1877, and again in
1888, and he had just entered on a
third term wher death removed him.

An account which recently appeared
in The Novoe Vremya of a balloon voy-
age from st. Petersburg to point not
far beyond Lake Ladoga conveys q
striking picture of the benighted con-
dition of the Russian peasantry, even
within few hundred miles of the
capital. The balloon in question, con-
tanning o Col. Pomostzeff and Count
Covanko, descended at u place called
Moustoi, in the government Of Oletz,
300 versts from St. Petersburg, and this
is what followed:
There was q general panic. The
peasants thought the anti-Christ was
descending from the sky, and that the
end of the world was come. Women
screamed, children cried and all the
inhabitants were well nigh out Of their
wits from fear. Soon from the wood
came the women who had been gather
ing mushrooms, running as fast as their
legs could carry them. "a house" they
cried, ''has como down from the sky
with wonderful strangers in itl'
The peasants thereupon hid them
selves in the village as best they could,
with the exception of IA few bold fellows,
who took their hatchets and cudgels
and proceeded cautiously to the forest.
1t was long before these latter, who as
sisted to convey the apparatus to the
village, could prevail upon their fellow
villagers to come out of their hiding
places.
Tho aeronauts spent the night in this
village, and in the morning marched
back, the balloon being packed on
sledge, because there was not a wheeled
vehicle in the place.

equally participate, aud as far as possible
become equally interested. 1t is the cell
cbration Of the greatest discovery in the
history of the human family, and one
which has proven more or less beneficial
TO all people. In view OF that fact, II was
proposed that the Exposition should be
commensurate with the occasion 1t com
memoratcs. Aside from that feature, 1t
affords for the fret time an opportunity
for the nations to amlcably assemble,
each to bring forth and place for compar-
ison, the productions of their skill and
handiwork, showing the point TO which
their people have advanced, whilc the
centuries have come and gone. In a
sense the Columbian Exposition will be a
vast Cosmopolitan University, where the
nations will become voluntary pupils and
the work OF their handicraft serve as OBJ
ject lessons for the study and benefit of
all. IL will form a universal society and
receipt N, to which all the human family
are invited, regardless OF caste, creed, or
color. The children of tho East can meet
with those from the North, South aud
West, and all can learn of the advance
ment and progress which his fellow man
has made on his respective portion OF the
globe.
Here will be achieved peace conquest,
more potent in its influences, more bene-
fetal and far-reaching in its results, than
all the victories gained 10 the history Of
wars. The occasion is opportune and
will be a mighty factor in bringing about
that feeling OF universal brotherhood,
which in time will result in "the Parlia-
ment Of man, the federation OF the world. !"
II properly is an international institution,
in which all should participate. Its COM
ing will be an intellectual banquet, from
which all will depart TO their distant
homes feeling il was good for them to
have been there. All national strife and
sectional lines should for the while at
least vanish, and that littleness OF soul
give place to the more generous DISPOSE
ton OF human interest in human kind.
Yours
