An American lady who managed to
see something of Count Tolstoi's real

his apparent resolution to live among
and like common people manages TO
get good deal of comfort, not to say
luxury, out of it.
The ex-Emperor of Brazil has al
ways been anxious to pose as a very
learned man. Whenever he heard that
famous scientist was about to visit
Brazil he would ''cram up" on the pros
pective guests specially, and at an OPP
perfume moment display a startling
amount of technical information.
Benjamin II. Day. ''the patriarch of
penny papers," and founder of the New
York Sun, died at his residence in
New York City recently, aged eighty
years. He was born in Massachusetts,,
and went to New York to work as a
compositpr when eighteen years old.
He started the Sun in 1888, and after

Mr.. Maurice Thompson has been
overtaken by ludicrous but annoying
fate. In his early years he wrote SEN
sational story which was printed and
then sank into oblivion. Now, in the
midst of his fame as a careful and sue
cessful writer, somebody has unearthed
this story and is printing it in paper
devoted to light fiction and he can not
help himself.
The late Henry w. Grady was a
great raconteur. He was a master OF
dialect, and was never afraid of giving a
good story plenty of coloring. 1t was
considered a remarkable thing in the
Office of the Atlanta Constitution if
week went by without new yarn from
Grady. His stories were always witty
but never vulgar.

among the best people in the world are
our deacons. And so when few days
ago the daughter of the pastor of one OF |
the churches in this city was married in |
the church the board of deacons, as a token
OF their regard for the favored child of
the church, presented her with an ele-

oEoRoIA'S BOY SOLDIER.
The Most Youthful Upholder of the Con
federate Cause.


Macon can very readily lay claim to
the most youthful upholder OF the honor
of the Confederate cause in the person
of Mr.. Ben Goodyear, who, scarcely in his
fourteenth year, was found in the front
rank Of company from this city that
joined the Sixty-fourth Georgia regi-
ment, and who chung to it from the day
1t left the Central City for st. Simond's
Island to the sad hour of Appomattox,
where he, with the handful that were
left, surrendered to the overwhelming
legions Of Grant. At this surrender,
Selling the opportunity, the remains Of
the colors of the regiment, by that timere-
duced in size to the dimensions Of nick
ell pocket handkerchief, were entrusted TO
him, and he at once concealed them in
his bosom under his gray jacket. That
night the camp whore the WORKOUT Con-
federates tried TO secure the rest so
much needed from the excitement and
fatigue of that fatal day was raided by the
Federal soldiers who were near, and Ben,
in the arms OF Morpheus and no doubt
dreaming of home and mother, knew
not the hour when the camp marauders,
rapacious for loot, stopped over his re-
cumbent form and cut the precious ban
ner from its repository upon his faithful
heart. At the same time he was reliev-
ed Of his knapsack, haversack and every
other available article. uncle Ben"

FOR GIRLS AND BOYS.
WcToR's VALENTINE.


I'm going TO write Valentine,
I'm sure don't know why,
But all the boys are doing it
And so guess I'll try;
They tell girl they think her cheeks
Are like the roses red;
"Your eyes are like the violets,"
That's what one fellow said.
But then, who shall send mine TOT
There's lots OF girls know,
But not a solitary one
I'd want to write TO so;
All, now I've thought OF somebody,
And not valentine
Will go to one who is half as nice
AS she who will get mine.
Victor writes steadily for some
moments, then reads aloud:
your hair is as brown as a chestnut
Your eyes are the sky's own blue,
I'll bet. in the world, there is no one
Who's half as pretty us you
. And though, dear don't always show It,
Ilove you with all my heart;
think 1t would just about kill me,
II you and l had TO part
Perhaps when grow up TO manhood,
I'll have TO wander afar.
But III never forget my first sweetheart,
My pretty bright, jolly mamma"

THE oldest living officer of the regu

Colonel James Belger. He was placed
on the retired list ten years ago, after
serving forty-one years in the army.

AN OLD WAR HORSE.
A Confederate Charger That Reached
tho Age of Thirty-Three Years.

A Confederate Charger That Reached
the Age of Thirty-Three Years.
There recently died on the farm OF
Colonel Craighill, near the City OF
Lynchburg, Va, horse that enjoyed
the supposed distinction of being the
only survivor in the South Of the cavalry
steeds of the civil war He had reached
the age of thirty-three years, but almost
up to his last hour, at the very time that
he had fallen into extreme decrepitude,
IL is said that his spirit would at once
revive at the sound of cannon or mus
kerry, or the strains of martial music,
although so long period had passed
since he had gone into battle. His
original owner, having been a member
of the famous Stonewall Brigade, had
christened him "Old Jack" after the
immortal Stonewall, and the old horse
seems to have been worthy Of the name
he bore, which was the familiar title
that the soldiers of jackson gave to
their great commander. ''0ld Jack" re-
ceived two wounds in the various
charges in which he took part, but
neither could have been very severe, as
he had vigor enough left to live to a
very advanced age for a horse. From
the hour that the war ended, he had
been required to perform only very
light service, it being very properly
thought that no heavy burdens should
be imposed on an animal that had so
distinguished history. Upon his death
his owner gave him honorable burial,
and we understand proposes erecting q
suitable monument over his grave

This incident afforded Tom another
preteXt, and thus, by dint of one device
and another, he succeeded in getting
Holhrook to his Office.
They both entered together. AS they
did SO clerk said:

Upon this a very dirty, very ragged
and very small boy came up to Hol-
brook and asked:

Yes, replied the lawyer. "Tm Mr..

dirty slip CT paper nearly rolled into

Before either Tom or Holbrook could
realize what had taken place the boy
had shot through the half open door and
scampeTed off.

could decipher it, for it was written

square, and they, not he, would have the
credit of the detection and arrest.
He was in momentary fear that Hol-
brook would detect his purpose, and he
was at his wits end to furnish argument
in favor of the position he had taken.
His great trouble was that he could not
suggest to himself, let alone HoIbrook, a
feasible plan of procedure if the matter
were not given to the police, nor indeed
even invent plausible one.
Time was the great desideratum, and
this, by all the ingenuity he could exer-
else, he endeavored to gain. His task
was made not an easy one by the impa-
tience Of Holbrook.
