A INDUSTRIOUS FREAK OF NATURE.-I
saw. saws Rartholinus, the traveller, first at
Hafnia and afterwards at Basil, one
Lazarus Colleredo, Genoese of about %
wears of age, who was the most oddly NAL
formed creature have ever had the good
fortune to meet. This Lazarus has little
brother growing at his breast, who was in
that posture born with him. His left foot
alone hung downward. He had two arms
but only three fingers upon each hand. He
could move his hands, ears and lips and
had a little beating at the heart. This little
creature is nourished by what the greater
eats and drinks; has distinct vital parts,
sleeps sweats and moves. Both of these
strange creatures received names at bap-
tism, the larger the name of Lazarus, the
smaller that of Baptista. Baptista has his
eyes shut the major part OF the time; his
breath is very faint, so that holding a
downy feather at his mouth it scarcely
moves. His mouth is usually open; his
head is larger than that of the brother who
is doomed to carry him on his bosom as
long as both live; his face is in an upright
posture. Both have boards; that of the
large brother being well kept. Lazarus is
a man of full stature. courteous department
and goes elegantly attired. The brother
that nature has fastened to his breast is
ouly twenty-eight inches in length, the
major portion Of which is head. Lazarus
covers the body of the creature with his
cloak; nor would you think that.a monster
was wrapped in its fold unless you knew
their awful story. A fear that Baptista
will die and also cause his death makes
Lazarus very solictious regarding his
brothers. welfare.-S. Louis Republic.

THE LAST CoNFEDs. According to a
story in Mr.. Albert Lawson's "War Anec-
dotes" the last Confederate did not surren
der until fifteen months after Appomattox,
The story is that on the morning of Fourth
of July, 1866, the secretary Of war, who
had planned a fishing excursion at falls of
the Potomac, received telegram from the
provost marshal at Richmond, saying that
a squad Of Confederate soldiers were at his
Office ready to deliver up their arms and be
amuested. Knowing that joking of that
sort would subject the parpetrato- to court
martial, the secretary fastened to the
White House to consult with President
Johnson. The result was telegram to the
provost marshal:
"Who are they and where did they came
fron?"
Answer WAS prompt and to the point:
Sergeant Tewsbury and guard from
Dismal Swamp. Did not know the war
was over"
After good deal of laughter the provost
marshal was ordered to receive their capt.
ulation, which was conducted in due form.
Tewsbury, an old Virginiau, ordered his
squad, couple of Georgians, to give up
their gnns and sign the papers, reserving
himself as the last man of all the Confeder-
ate forces to surrender. The old sergeant's
description of the way he found out the war
was over was amusing.
He and bis companions had been posted
on the edge Of the swamp to watch move
ments of the Union troops from Norfolk,
with orders to remain until relieved. He
was never relieved, and subsisted on fish
and game for three years. At last he met
an Old negro who told him the war had been
over for about a year, which clicked him
better that if he had been kicked by q
mule, as he expressed it.

THE WINTER COMMUNION.

The Communion, referred to in the following
tines was celebrated in Union Presby teriaI
church. Augusta County, Virginia, in Decem
,er. 1888. The chnrch is in the country l
miles, N. W. of Staunton.
1t was winter, depth of winter,
For the;white-robed monarch reigned.
And the earth was feathered over
With the snow-fakes downward rained,
Fleece on fleece,
A veil of peace,
And with purity unstained.
Yonder, where giant forest.
o. the rising ground once stood,
Glands rural house of worship
Plainly built of brick and wood,
Where for praise
On holy days
Brethren meet in prayerful mood.
It WIS Sabbath, holy Sabbath.
Styled 1.-THE Lords Day. in the Word,
And it was the time appointed
For the supper Of the Lord.
In December,
To remember
Calvary with sweet accord.
Fifty faithful souls were present,
Who had stemmed the f1eecy storm,
And whose hearts, though all in nature
Was SO chill, were pure and warm,
But they came
In Jesus name,
Rocking not of ease or harm.
Text and Lesson from Isaiah
Soon the pastor did select,
Proving Christ a Man of sorrows,
VIZ rNt11d inn re
And that He
Would Ransom be
For His people-the Elect.
Next, were read Paul's words to Corinth
Bearing on the Eucharist,
Pointing out its simple symbols
By which we may feed on Christ,
And each member
May remember
Jesus and Him sacrificed.
Then we sat around the Table,
Took the offered bread and wine,
And the unseen Guest was present
To confer the gifts divine,
And renewed.
With power endued,
We went from the holy shrine.
Years have passed since that Communion,
Years of service and of joy,
But, to-day, its recollection
Does our sweetest thoughts employ.
And we say,
Ofdays that day
COLLEEN Is without alloy.

THE BAYoNET-BALLOT.- Lincoln,
if alive, would think of the position of the
Republican party on the question of putting
bayonet behind the ballot may be inferred
from what he said in 1868. An exchange
says
SIT is a significant fact, worth recalling
lust now, that the first protest against
carpet-baggers and bayonet elections came
from President Lincoln. In November,
1868, after the process of reconstruction in
Louisiana had begun under federal occupa-
tion, Mr.. Lincoln wrote to General Shepley
that he did not want, as congressman from
Louisiana, Northern men elected at the
point of the bayonet,' but he desired re-
spectacle citizens of the State voted for by
respectable men, He then proceeded to
asnounce as Outrageous and disgraceful
y ections at the point of the bayonet.' !" 2.

POISONS IN COSMETICS.

1t seems to be the fashion for young
ladies with pimples and blotches on thelr
faces to make experiments with various
cosmetics. Madame Piffypaffy advertlses
her foreign named compound, composed OF

stances that deaden and burden the delicate
substances of the skin. There are no CON-

nature to work her will in this respect, as
thousands of ladies, both young and old,
have discovered. The cheapest and most
beautiful compilations depend on health
and vigor. 1t is the office of Swift's Specific
Is. s. 50 to give vigor and tone and health
to the system, and in this way to give lustre
to the eve and roses to the cheeks.

FIGHT TO DEATH |
FATAL ENDING OF A PRIZE
FIGHT.
SULLIVAN PUTS UP A FORFEIT,
He Will Fight Slavin-A Baby
That Weighs Eut Three Pounds.
Perhaps Another Leper.
Home. Dedicated.

M~onongahela City, Pa, July 25.-
An inquest was held yesterday over
the victim of a fatal prize fight at this
place.
There has been bad blood between
two miners named Harry Boyd and
John Myford for some time past, and
they finally agreed to fight it out I'M
der the prize-ring rules at catch
weights aud bare knuckles.
They were both young, strong and
sanguine Of their ability in knocking
the other out and it was a fierce battle
from start to finish, with the odds
slightly in favor of Boyd, who exhib-
tied more science.
In the first, second and third rounds
it was give and take and both men
were severely punished, and when they
came to the centre for the fourth round
both were bleeding p%rOfusely.
After a few leads Boyd made a rush
on Myford aud delivered a tremendous
blow straight from the shoulder,
catching the latter upon the jUgular.
telling him like a log.
Myford was carried to his corner by
his friends, but never regained con.
sciousness. dring an hour later. Boyd
at once delivered himself up to the
authorities. He will probably he in
1lcted for mauslaughter by the Grand
Jury.
