The Immortal Lee.
TRlBUTEs OF HIS WORTH FROM (
FRIEND AND FOE.

Tho Richmond, Va, State sent
requests to number Of prominent 4
men all over the country for some
sentiment appropriate to Lees birth
day, which it publishes Friday after
noon. Among those who responded
are the following: 3S
Gen. Schofield says: aI will say
that it was the wcll-known character
of the Southern soldiers, Of which
that of Gen. Robert =. Lee was the
highest type, which maSas II possible ,l,s
for the Union army to f1a&sssgds f1aslssNs. t9fsts the
Confcdcrates not as rebels SSVs vs.
either punished or pardoned, but sSS9|
honorable antagonists worthy>to$ besI
COME truest friends when they had
laid down their arms. Thus this
high charac,er became of inestimable
value to the Southern people and
hence to the whole country.n l.si 4
Admiral Porter writes: oN o man &
should hesitate to bear testimony to
the reputation Of Gen. Robert u.
Lee as one of the greatest soldiers
OF the civil war. But for his gene 4
ralship the Southern Confedcracyss
would no doubt have sooner broken
up, and he kept his army together
under circumstances that would have
appalled, almost any other leader.
Gen. Lee accepted the situation
after Appomattox in the true spirit
which characterized all his actions,
and feel sure that when he died he /
had the respect of every Northern
soldier and sailor, to say nothing Of u
the thousands of citizens who adj
mired his private character
Governor Campbell, of Ohio, says :s.
Gas Northern man and member
of that wing of the Democratic
party which readily conceded any,
thing to prevent war, yet cheerfully
risked everything to preserve the
Union after war had come, pay my
modest tribute to Robert Z. Lee, the
Christian gentleman, the fearless
soldier, the upright citizen, tho Il
modest husband, son and father.'' II
Cardinal Gibbons says "Gen. Lee
was hero of whom the whole nation
is proud"
Charles "A. Dana says: "Robert
e. Lee was man of ideal personal
character. lie was always q gentle i
man, always sincere, always true,
always considerate of others. His
moral elevation was especially mani
fest in the readiness and calmness
with which he bore disaster. Defeat
never shook his equilibrium. Mis-
fortune was never followed by any
relaxation of his principles. His
intellectual resources were prompt,
broad, comprehensive, admirable. In
his dignity there was no affection, in /
his sclf-respect no petty cgotism, ina
his Judgment no unjust depreciation
of others. He was great in the
noblost qualities of human nature.''

CoULDN'r AFFoRD IT.--Sam#
Green, an Alabama justice Of the
peace, has his own ideas of the fit
ness of things. Two men, arrested
for fighting, were taken before SAINTS
court. After hearing the evidence
the justice, addressing one Of the
men, said:
"Mr. Tucker, you may go"
''IIold on, judge!' exclaimed the
other man. "You forget that he
shot me and that had done moth.
ing to him"
"That's So" the justice responded.
81 had intended to let you off, and
am sorry that I made a mistake in
rendering my decision, but as th:s
court cannot afford to humiliate5
itself by reversing its own opinion,
I'll let Mr.. Tucker so and will fine
you ten dollars"

A new gas meter is being made in
considerable numbers in Manchester,
England. BY its aid n pennyworth Of
gas can be obtained by the
The penny Is dropped into a slot and
pushed home by a piston or pusher,
after which 1t drops into a locked
drawer or receptacle. While the penny
is being pushed through it releases a
star wheel which is operated by fingers
or pawls fixed upon the drum. At the
same time n conical valve by which the
admission of gas is controlled is raised
to a certain height. The revolution Of
the drum moves this valve down at a
speed proportionate to that OF the
passing gas, and by the time the guam
tity which q be sold for u penny is
delivered the valve closes, shutting off
the supply.
As Don as the gas is supplied the me
ter drum is again locked by the deten-
ton OF the star wheel. If while u pen
nyworth of gas is being consumed the
pusher is raised to repeat the action
without a coin no additional supply
n be got. and the introduction of
another penny insures the valve being
opened as much further as is necessary
to supply that valve of gas, although
the remainder of the first portion re-
mains to be delivered. The mechanism
is well designed to prevent any fraudu-
lent use being made of it, and is very
simple and easily adapted to various re-
quirements. New Orleans Picayune.

Neuralgia headaches are the expires.
sion of an immense number of irregu-
larities and diseases. Decayed teeth
are frequent causes, and in not a few
instances severe headaches of this sort
are clearely due to teeth so slightly de-
cayed that only n dentist can detect
the defect.
Headaches, especially those in which
the pain is felt most in the forehead,
are frequently caused by inequalities in
the eye. And often very slight defects,
scarcely appreciate to the victim, are
sufficient to cause them. Many persons
have n normal eye. while the other
is slightly abnormal.
In such cases there is considerable
strain if the eyes are used much in
reading, which is especially liable to
cause headache. The only remedy in
these cases is, of course, a proper pair
of glasses. Headache from defective
sight is not always limited to the region
of the forehead, for sick headache is
frequently associated with it.-Boston
Herald.

TRAGLC ENDING.

The maverickers seem to have found
another victim. This time it is George
B. Henderson. The details of the killing
are wanting. All that is positively known
is that Henderson was shot dead BY one
of his own employees. All efforts to get
the details of the affair proved unayailing
The ranch OF which Mr.. Henderson was
manager is located many miles north, OF
Rawlins and he line Of telegraph running
between the two points is down. For
this reason the particulars Of the murder
are not o~btainable and cannot be secured
until a courier comes TO the railroad from
the ranch.
1t is the general belief here that Hen
derson was asSassinated. Several attempts
have been made upon his life BY unknown
persons. Itwas generally believed that the
persons who so persistently sought
Hendersoa's life were maveriekers
who have for several years
years been at sword points with the out-
fit By which Henderson was employed and
several others in the same vicinity. We
notice, however, by the Buffalo Echo
which reached here yesterday, that Man
ager Henderson had paid off hIs men 10
that town On Sept 90 aud that the men
at oncs set to work ''carminiziug the mu-
nicipality." As the information received
is to the effect that Henderson was shot
by one of his own employees it is possible
that his death mas have resulted from a
quarrel. The information at hand, how
ever, is so meagre that theorizing can be
of little consequence.
The warmest sympathy OF this com
munity goes out TO Mrs Henderson. The
death of her little son was a terrible blow
to her and it is feared that the tragic
ending OF her husband may prove a shock
from which she may never recover.

Persons of observing turn of mind
have noticed two or three buttons on
the sleeves of coats, both civil and
military, but few, however, have puz-
zled their brains seeking an explana-
ton of the reason of the custom. They
were first put upon the sleeves of SOL
diers in the British army. Prior to the
buttoned sleeves soldiers had the filthy
habit Of drawing their sleeves across
their mouths and noses upon every
occasion when n pocket handkerchief
or n napkin could have been used to a
better advantage. As a matter of
course the cuff became shiny and de
faced.
Punishment and reprimand were
tried, but they failed to check the
habit. As n last resort n board OF Off
GERS met and unanimously adopted a
plan suggested by one of their num-
Der, which was ito sew two or three
rough beads or buttons upon the top
part of the sleeve of every military
coat" This had the desired effect,
even If it did SAVIOR of putting a ring in
a hogs nose to keep him from root
ing" BY degrees soldiers as well as
civilians became more tidy. The but
tons were not removed from the
sleeves, however, only slid around to
the back or under side, where they still
linger, a relic of semi. barbarism, an or
nament nevertheless. st. Louis Re

Aeour RUNNING Bids.

They Feed Their Young on Minute In
scots, Not ON the Nectar of Flowers
Once upon a time / saw a large hum
ming bird ut the lower end of a slop-
ing, leafy shaded glade, busily visiting
every tuft of sweet William up toward
where l was. / lay down prone on
the tuft, with my eyes within sixteen
inches of a fine spray of flowers The
bird was a fine fellow, with his flashing
coat of bright emerald green. He Wis
tied every flower of each clump rs he
came up the little vale.
At last he reached the one near my
face, and with no suspicion thrust his
slender beak into each purple cup.
When ! would wink my eyes he would
stop and peer at me with his wee dia-
mond black eyes, but l could not see
what he got from the flowers to eat,
whether nectar, pollen or minute in
sects.
1t is generally supposed that they
feed entirely on nectar, and that their
tongue is a slender tube by which they
suck it up. The student of biology
should take no such hearsay stories for
granted; facts are his stock in trade.
My wish was TO find out on what and
how these tiny birdlings were fed, so !
carefully hid my person in the greenery,
with my face within a few inches Of
the nest, and waited long and inpatient
ly for feeding time, but the parent did
not show up in sight.
After an hour or more, thinking my
horse near by kept them away, | moved
him and then hid still more carefully,
but in vain, and as the young became
restless / concluded not to punish them
longer. Then, looking carefully, 1
found weddings of the young
on twigs around the nest and on the
ground below.
l gathered n number of these pellets,
took them home. soaked them in clear
water, placed them under the glass, and
found them to be wholly composed OF
the remains of very small gnats and
aphids, and seemingly nothing else. 1
could find in them no heads of small
caterpillars and grubs.
Many of the wings and heads of these
gnat remains were so perfect that the
trained entomologist might have deter
mined from them the species. There
were whole heads with the antenne at
tached, whole perfect leg cases, etc.
This seems to settle the question that
this humming bird does not feed It's
young on nectar from flowers, as l have
read they do. These young, though
nearly full grown, lad not their beaks
as yet more than one-third the length
OF the old ones. Forest and Stream.

THE PRESIDENFS TOUR.

1t is said that Tom Reed aud a party OF
friends are soon to start in a spesial car OF
a junketing tour of the country, the OBJ
ject being TO work up the boom of the
Autocratio Reed for the presidency. II
such is the case it must strike the adher-
hents OF the gentleman from Maine with
something akin to envy 10 see the enthu-
siasm with which President Harrison is
greeted all along the line Of the hasty tour
which will be extended as far west as
Kansas.
While there may be differences OF opiu-
ion as to how much Of this popular ap-
plause Mr.. Harrison has honestly earned
and how much of it Is due to the exalted
office which he holds there can be no ques-
ton Of the unmistakable generosity OF his
reception everywhere he has yet appeared.
1t is noticeable, too, that so far he has
shown great tact in his brief public ad-
dresses, that his sympathies have en-
larged and that he has drawn the Repub-
lican party of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois
more closely to him than it has been at
any time during the past year of his ad-
ministration. The political wiseacres have
lately been taking it for granted that
Harrison is a dead cock in the Republi-
can pit These people should keep a
close eye on the presidents tour. Should
it be kept up to its present standard OF

AT lie Puy, neal Dieppe, Tiers has
died an old Russian named YasiI, who
in his time obtained considerable celeb
rity as the cook of the elder Dumas.
His position in the household of the
great fictionist was by no means a sine
cure, for it is recorded that when the
ertravagant and open handed author
of Monte Cristo" was hard up Vasili
had to concoct culinary dishes OH next
to nothing. Pere Vasili was always
equal to the occasion, and was always
punctual to the minute with his courses.
When the great Alexander died at his
villa at lie Puy, in 1870, vasili was paid
off handsomely by Alexander Dumas
fls. He then retired from private en-
ployInent, and opened a restaurant
nea the abode of his former master.
This establishment was patronized by
tourists, chiefly out of curiosity Pail

A SFR0NG N0MLNATTOM.

The Liberal party of Utah has placed
Judge c. G. Goodwin. editor Of the Salt
Lake Tribune, in nomination for delegate
in congress The outcome Of the inpend-
ing fight between this champion Of the
Gentiles and the representative who will
be put forward by the Mormons, will be
watched with great interest.
Judge Goodwin is the ahlest as he has
long been the most uncompromisibR
opponent of MUrmonism. He has fought
it with extraordinary perseverance, for
years and he has naturally been singled
out by a hatred as viTulent as has prob
ably ever followed an American either.
Until within the past two years the Nor
mons have controlled the delegateship
and the entire machinery OF local govern
ment. Recently both Salt Lake and Og-
den have been captured by the Gentiles,
but the Mormon strongholds in the couL-
try still remain practically unassailable.
The struggle is liable to be a bitter one.
Tremendous significance would attach to
the victory Of the Liberal candidate. The
election of Judge Goodwin would mean
the practical overthrow Of Mormonism
10 Utah. 1t cannot be denied that this
would be of immense advantage to the
state at large. for it would mean its speedy
admission into the Union, accompanied
by a tremendous influx Of capital.
