Surviving Confederate Generals.
Livingston Journal.

Livingston Journal.
OF the more prominent Confeder-
ate generals, we believe that three
remain-Beauregard, Early and
Longstreet. Beauregard (who was
one of the six full generals,) was
born in 1918, and was graduated at
West Point Military Academy 1888.
Early was born in the same year
(1S1S,) and was graduated at West
Point in 1887. Longstreet was born
about 1892, and graduated at West
Point in the year lS42, Father Time,
with his rentless scythe, is rapidly
harvesting the Confederate leaders,
and is also making inroads on their
followers. The "boys" who wore
the gray" on their backs, nearly
thirty years ago, are now exhibiting
it on their heads and have come to
realize the fact that the battle-how-
ever protracted-is nearing its end.
A sad reflection, but to those con-
scious of having discharged their
duty, it is not devoid of a measure OF
qualification.

A Poisonous Thimble,

Lancet.
Among the numberless causes Of
blood poisoning through the skin,
one which was lately recorded is
worth noting on account of its evil
dent simplicity and the ease Of its
prevention. In the case referred to
the sufferer was seamstress, and the
mischief resulted from her using
dirty metal thinble marked with
verdigris, a little of which appears TO
have entered a scratch on the thimble
finger. We can well believe that
this accident was not the first of its
kind. Verdigris, it is true, is mere
metallic irritant, and not comparable
in virulence to most living germs of
disease. 1t is quite enough, notwith-
standing, to excite local inflamma-
ton, which friction, contact with
dyed cloth material, or the entrance
Of dirt in any form would quickly
convert into dangerous and general
disorder, There is really no excuse
TOR women who trust their fingers in
these cheap and worse than useless
articles. Steel thimbles are much
safer and cost very little. Another
variety also in common use is en-
ameled within, and is, if possible,
even freer from objection. Let us
us not forget to add a caution that
cuts or scratches on the hand should
never be neglected by sewing women
so long as dyes continue to be used in
cloth manufacture.

Waking up a Baby.


One of the last passengers to enter
the ladies' cabin of a Hoboken ferry
boat the other afternoon was mid
dle-aged woman tiptoeing along with
sleeping baby in her arms. 1t was
plain to the initiated that
the baby had just fallen
asleep. 1t was well wrapped up and
its face covered with veil, and the
mother was tossing it in her arms in
"A soothing way as she came in. She
found a seat, backed up TO it and sat
down with a:
Ssh! Sh! Sh! There! There! There!"
There were seventy-tive people in
the cabin, and the minute that baby
entered all began to exchange looks.
Everybody must keep still or the
kid would wake up and howl. Of
the seventy-fve at least seventy-four
were mad about it. Those furthest
away muttered to each other that it
was always that way and that 10000
New York babies could be pitched
overheard to the benefit of the cOun-
try at large, while those nearer by
choked back their inclination to
cough or sneeze and almost trembled
with apprehension. For five minutes
the cabin was as quiet as the grave.
Then an old woman let her umbrella
fall to the floor, and the way the
others looked at her was enough to
shorten her life by five year.
"Great scots, but look there" the
mental exclamation of every passen-
ger as the sleeping babe was sudden
ly seen to give vigorous kick be-
meath the old gray shawl.
The mother patted and soothed and
rocked, and it was soon seen to be a
false alarm. 1t proved that the kid
was FESTIVE, however, and now every
body sat bolt upright and scarcely
dared TO breathe. Just opposite the
mother was a solid old chap with a
smooth, fat face and red nose.
Amidst the awful silence he was OBJ
served to carry his right hand to that
bloomin' nasal organ and gently rub
it. Like a flash of lightning the
same thought occurred to every
mind.
"Just suppose that old duffer there
should indulge in sneeze"
He dropped his hand and there was
great sigh of relief, but fifteen
seconds later up went the hands again
and now his eyes began to betray
anxiety. There was sneeze working
its way up along that nose, and the
question with him was, could he sup
press it? He had on heavy-soled
shoes and mad he made break for
the door, forty feet away, he would
have been mobbed.
The baby gave another kick, and
now the attention of the passengers
was divided and the silence grew
more awful. The man with the
} blOomin' nose held it between his
thumb and finger and looked around
and the man on his left sternly wins
pered in his ear:
"If you do sneeze and wake thai
Internal young'un I'll be hanged il
we don't pitch you out of the win
dowu
The mother began tossing the baby
in her arms and whispering Ssh! sh
sh!" and the man with the nose shu
his eyes and hung on for dear life
Everybody was betting twenty tC
one that he would beat the sneeze
when up went his eyebrows, his eye
opened with look Of horror il
them, and the sueeze fired itself of

A New Word.

Cincinnati Post.
1t is respectfully suggested to the
learned professors who manage the
literary department of Webster's die
tionary that they have up to date
omitted word which by reason Of
its frequent use in the newspapers
when referring to American railway
matters, certainly deserves TO be
placed in good photographed society.
The word referred to is a compound
active ejaculative, and is used princi-
cipally in the West as a substitute for
"hello"
When incorporated in the diction-
airy it will appear thus:
HoId-up-your-hands. An inteYiec-
ton used principally in and behind

amount of the bounty at about $l0,-

That, of course, is something which

Mrs. Clark the men were after the stolen
jewelIy and if she had any she had better do
away with It, Mrs. Clark said she had one
of the rings on then. The ring was shown
and identified. Mrs. Clark asked her if she
knew where Fitzsimmons was, as he had

and she wanted to know if he was coming
back Mrs. Clark told the witness that she
had been in Schmitt's store on the day OF
the robbery to buy comb, was on the
street at the time of the robbery
and that she saw FitZsimmons as he came
out of the store. She could not remember
whether he came out through the cellar
window or through the alleyway. The pers-

On cross-examination by Mr. Marshall the
witness could not remember whether
it was at night or day that she had
the conversation with FitZsimmonS.
She had no arrangements with him as to
her share of the plunder. The reason she
was sent to Schmitt's store was to keep him
IN the store until it got dark. She left the
store when Mr.. Schmitt left because she
could not find anything more to talk about.

anything to say?

LOVE AND A SEWING MACHINE
Get Strangely Mixed Up in a Little Romance
of the Marriage License Office - An
Agent Hunting the Destroye. of One
paaPa


A romance, divorce, unrequited love,
mysterious disappearance and supposed sui
eide, a marriage and sewing machine were
mixed up in search instituted at the mar
riage license office yesterday. The agent of
a sewing machine company appeared at the
Office to ascertain whether q marriage
license had been issued to q Mrs Ida Chan
dler and a man named Slocum.
He produced clipping from a San Fran
cisco newspaper containing an account of
the mysterious disappearance in Portland,
Ore, of DR.. J. NJ. Eaton, formerly Coroner of
San Francisco. He went from San Fran
cisco to Portland, it was stated where he
married to Mrs. Ida Chandler for whom he
obtained a divorce from her husband. She
had gone to San Francisco, promising to re-
turn to Portland us soon as possible to get
married. Instead, however she wrote him
that she was going East to visit her brother
but would return. Two weeks prior to the
date of the item, June %, DIR. Eaton re-
ceiyed a wedding card from PittSburg an
nouncing Mrs. Chandler's marriage to man
named Slocum. 1t nearly drove him crazy
and he disappeared. 1t was thought he
drowned himself.
The sewing machine agent in Pittsburg re-
ceived a letter from the san Francisco
branch Of the same firm, enclosing the clip
ping and stating that Mrs. Chandler owed
them for a sewing machine. They had made
the mistake, it said, of placing too much
confidence in. her In consequence of the
letter the Pittsburg agent wanted to know if
couple, and if possible by that means locate
them and secure the cash for the machine
No such license has yet been discovered, but
further search Will be made to-day.
