Many Roman and Greek epicure

Many Roman and Greek epicures were
very fond of dogs flesh. Before Chris
tianity was established amonl The Danes,
on every ninth year ninety-nine dogs
were sacrificed. In Sweden each ninth
day ninety-nine dogs were destroyed
But later on dogs were not thought good
enough, and every ninth year ninety
nine human beings were inundated, the
sons of the reigning tyrant among the
rest, in order that the life of the monarch
might be prolonged.

NOW HE GOT THE srEnxH1;,s EA
Farmer Edmunds Will Catch the Pres
dent the Same Way.

Tho following story is told of the way
Farmer Edmunds got the bill through
the House making the appropriation for
Roanolic's public building:
Farmer Edmunds managed his bill
with nuch adroitness. in the House to-
day. When he first went to Speaker
Reed TO ask recognition. that official
said he could not possibly recognize
him, out the Halifax county statesman
talked the Speaker out OF that notion in
less than two minutes. 'tNirginia."
said the Speaker, ''has already had two
public building bills during this Con
grcss--one for Norfolk and one for
'aunton-and that is more than any
other State has gotten"
liut Farmer Edmunds talked so
smoothly that the Speaker said, "All
right, MIR. Edmunds, will recognize
YOU" and he Gid. 1t was not many
minutes before the bill WAS passed, as
the Republicans ~ we'll as Democrats
seemed glad t. do anything for the Nir-
gin'ans. Then there were general CON
gratnl"'ions showcrcd upon Farmer
Edmunds. The members crowded
around him and expressed their salts
faction over the passage of his bill.
Now the question is, CIVIL the Pre-
-sdent sign the bile" If he does not it
will not be the fault OF Farmer
Edmunds. for he is going to the Prcsi-
dent just as soon as the bill passes the
Senate. He will tell Mr. Harrison that
Roanoke is on 4 big boom, will become
great city, and is fairly catitlcd to Il

STRAY SHOTS.

JUBAL EARLY is the least reconstruct
ed of the surviving confederate gener-
ais. He still effects the confederate
gray in his attire and the old SLOUGH
hat of the Virginia trooper. A north
erner who saw him not long ago says
that his scarf pin represents confeder-
ate flag.
THE sword of Maj. Gen. Sill, of Ohio,
was taken from his hand, after his
death at the battle of Stone river in the
late civil war, by Capt. d. NJ. White, a
Texan. The latter officer now proposes
to restore the weapon to the generals
friends, and is about to visit Ohio for
that purpose.
ANOTHER relic of the war has been
discovered in Virginia. A few days
ago while log two feet in circumfer-
epee was being cut in two near "Boody
Angle" in Spottsylvania county, the
saw went through the butt end of a
twelve-pound shell which was imbed-
bed in the log out of sight 1t is sup
posed that the tree was about nineteen
inches in diameter at the time the shell
was fired in 1868, as these trees grow
about quarter of an inch in year.
The people of Columbia, S. c., are
proud of 'Old Bowlegged Bill Rose"
as they call him. Bill is negro who
has been identified with the Richland
Volunteers for the past sixty years.
When they went to the war Bill went
with them, and at fredericksburg his
old master, Gen. Maxey Gregg, died in
his arms. Ever since the close of the
war whenever the Volunteers have pa
raded Bill has turned out with them as
orderly, but he is now white haired
and feeble. The other day he present.
ed the volunteers with a medal in token
of his affection, and the incident is said
to have been most pathetic.
AN old soldier living at Santa Clara,
Cal, has a relic which he has been car
rying for years. 1t is the ordinary
brass button worn by soldiers of the
United States army, but it is hattened
by bullet. After leaving the army he
was superintendent of a stock-ranch on
the border between Mexico and Cali
fornia- This was in 1866. and the old
soldier still wore the uniform blouse.
Numerous thefts of stock by an organ
lied band of robbers were taking place,
and the owner of the relic organized q
small party of cowboys and started in
pursuit of the band. Toward night the
party separated, and the old soldier and
two of the men soon came upon q herd
of horses in charge of two desperate
looking Mexicans, who at once opened
fire upon the pursuing party. The fire
was returned and the thieves killed.
The old soldier was shot through the
left arm, and second shot struck the
eventful button, which was directly
over his heart and saved his life. al.
though he was very sore about the
breast for some time. His companions
escaped without scratch.

ONE Or THE eFlasy TO DIE.
Death of Maj.-Gen Reynolds on tho Bat-
tlefield of Gettysburg.

Death of MAI. Gen. Reynolds on tho Bat-
tlefeld of Gettysburg.
OF the many monuments that now
dot the battlefield Of Gettysburg none
attracts more attention than that erected
to the memory of Maj Gen. John F.
Reynolds. He was one of the first vic
tins to fall in that bloody struggle,
which began on the 1st of July, 1858.
Gen. Reynolds was a veteran who had
been in the thickest of the fight many
a time before. In the Mexican war ho
won the brevets for captain and major
for gallant and meritorious conduct at
Monterey and Buena Vista. He was at
Mechanicsville, at Gaines mill, at Saw.
age Station, at Charles City crossroads,
where he was taken prisoner. Upon
his release he rejoined his comrades,
and took part in the first battle of Fred
ericksburg. In all these severe con.
tests he faced death repeatedly but es-
capped unharmed. At Gettysburg he
was in command of the three corps con-
stituting the right wing Of Hooker's
army. BY order of that general he was
fastening forward in advance of the
union troops. All went we'll until he
suddenly found himself confronted by
the van of Lees army. His own force
numbered about three thousand men;
the enemy had three times as many.
Nevertheless he bravely brought them
into action and was apparently leading
them to victory when he fell. In a
grove in front of him the confederates
had posted large number of sharp
shooters, who were giving his troops
considerable annoyance. He deter
mined to reconnoiter and see if it was
not possible to dislodge them. Dis.
mounting from his horse he went for.
ward and approached a fence over
which he looked in the direction of the
wood At that moment he was struck
in the neck by a rifle ball, and falling
upon his face, died in few moments.

The Confederates Were Real Prohibition
lists.
do you know" said well-known
ex-confederate officer, that the con-
federate government was the only gov
ernment in the world that really en-
forced prohibition? During the war
the government prohibited the manu-
facture of liquor in Virginia 1t was
here that the army was, and the same
prohibition extended to the other South
ern states This law was made be-
cause the government wanted all the
grain to feed the people. The further
result was that the confederate army
was the soberest army that the world
ever had. The little liquor that could
be had was only obtained upon the pre-
5cription of a surgeon. The first three
barrels of liquor for medicinal purposes
were sent under guard through West
Virginia consigned to leading sur
geon. They We're carted over the
mountains and several days We're occu-
pied in the trip At their destination
the barrels We're found to be empty
At first this was mystery, but exam
ination show that gimlet hole had
been bored in each cask, the liquor
drawn out and the hole neatly plugged
The whole battalion sent along as
guards for this liquor had IN this way
swallowed it all gradually, and, though
n big row was raised, it was impossible
to fix the otfense on any one. IN. Y.

STRANGE POSITIONS IN DEATH.
Queer Incidents of the War as Observed
by Participant.

Queer Incidents of the War as Observed
by Participant.
During the late civil war detach-
ment of United States soldiers forag-
ing around Goldsborough, n. c., came
suddenly upon small band of southern
troops who had dismounted These
latter Immediately jumped into their
saddles and all scampered away except
one, after being exposed to one round
of firing. The soldier who did not es-
cape was seen standing upright with
one foot in the stirrup of his saddle.
In his left hand he held the bride and
the horses name, while his right hand
grasped his rife near the muzzle, the
stock being on the ground. The horse
mans head was turned towards the
right shoulder, apparently watching the
approach OF the enemy. Some of the
union soldiers were preparing to fire
again, when the officer or dered them to
iesist and to make the aefant man
prisoner. The man wa then ordered
TO surrender but he made no answer.
When he was approached it was found
that he was stone dead and perfectly
rigid in the attitude described above. 1t
took considerable of an effort to force
his left hand to release the horses
name and to remove the rifle from the
tight hand. When the body was laid
upon the ground the limbs preserved
the same position and the same inhexi-
bility. The man had been struck by
two balls fired from Springfield rifles
One of these had entered to the right of
.he spinal column and had made it's exit
from the body near the region of the
neart 1t had left slight indentation
in the saddle and then dropped to the
ground The horse remained unhurt,
aaving stood the fire because tied to q
tree by halter
The following is another incident: At
the battle of Williamsburg Dr. T. P.
Reed examined the body of United
States zouave who had received ball
n the forehead just as he was climbing
pver a low fence. Like that Colds
borough case above, this man had pre-
served the last attitude of his life. One
of his legs was half over the fence,
while his body still remained behind.
One hand was raised level with his fore
head with the palm forward rs if to
ward off some imminent danger.-St.
Louis Republic.
