"Beautiful Words to a Bride"
Montgomery Argus.I

The following beautiful letter was
written several years ago by a gentle
man to bride, on receiving her we'd
ding cards. 1t is eSquisitely fresh and
original and full of poetry:
II am holding some pastebaard in
my hands. Three stately pluckings
from the bush of ceremony. I am gaz-
ing upon card and name-a name
with which your throbbing heart was
lost.
II am gazing, too, upon card where
the nearer parent tells the world she
will be at home one day, and that is
nothing new. But there is another
card whose ningling there puts fiery
tongue into this speechless pasteboard,
ename!ling fate on commonplace. 1t
tells us that feeling is maturing into
destiny: and that these cards are but
the pale heralds Of a coming crisis,
when q hand that has pressed friends
hands and plucked flowers shall close
down on him to whom she shall be
friend and flower forever.
"And now can you, who have queen
ed it over so many bended forms, can
you come down at last to the frugal
diet Of q single heart?
"Hitherto you have been a clock,
giving your time to all the world. Now
you are watch, buried in one particu-
lar bosom, watching only his breast,
marking only his hours, and ticking
only to the best Of his heart-where
time and feeling shall be in unison, IN
til these lower ties are lost in that high
er wedlock, where all hearts are united
around that great central heart of all.
"Hoping that calm sunshine may
hallow your clasped hands, / sink
silently into q signature.

Wrote a Letter on the Back Of Postage
Stamp.

ELLINGTON, Conn.,, March IS
When the Postmaster at the little
country office in this village opened his,
mail bag one day last week single
cancelled postage stamp fell out. He
looked among the letters to see if the
stamp had come from any Of them, but
they were all right. Then he examined
the back of the stamp to seeifthe gum
was still on it. He found that Mrs. J.
+. Irviss Of Shaker station, in this
State, had exercised her ingenuity and
strained her cyesight by writing 3
letter on the back OF the stamp. On one
edge was small margin ofwhte paper,
such as is always found on the full
sheet Of stamps, and Oh this was written
the address, Miss Lizzie L. Kibbe.

HER ACCOMPLISHMENT.
Nobody Could Guess It, and 1t Proved a
Strange Revelation.

The women Of New York society are
in many cases accomplished in very
odd ways, and party ofmen the other
night passed an interesting quarter of
an hour in recalling some of the un-
common talents CT their feminine ac-
quaintances. One handsome young
woman was all adept in blowing the
coaching horn; another was very sue
cessful carver of onyx; one of the most
sedate young ladies in town danced a
clog to the perfection; a dutiful and
beautiful wife made ali her husbands
trout flies, and her husand was re-
nowned as fisherman a rather slim
and wiry girl, famous for her waltzing,
was a scientific boxer, and could give
her clever brother a breezy four-round
battle; a lady who rode in the Park
each day occasionally showed to her
friends in the country how she could
stand on the back Of a cantering horse;
fair mermaid of Newport could smoke
a cigarette under water: these, and half
a hundred other wondrous perform
ances were told of women by the men
that knew them, amid great applause.
Finally, young fellow who had been
listening lazily to the conversation
spoke up in drawling tones, and the
attention of the company became riv-
eted upon him.
II knew far more extraordinary
girl than any you have mentioned, once
upon time" said he. "She was the
sister of classInate Of mine at college.
Rich, I think. Very swell. Blonde
girl, tall and straight and jolly, for l
used to 90 rowing with her when l Wis
tied 'em up the river. Pull powerful
oar, too, and as clever other ways. One
of her talents, though, was certainly
remarkable. I never found it out until
I'd known ner three weeks. Never
paraded it. Seemed to take it as
matter of course. When I did hear of
it at last spoke to her father about it,
and he agreed with me that it was
very rare accomplishment in a girl.
Not that it was especially needed in
women, but there were emergencies
when it might come into play. [ was
rather struck with the charm Of the
thing. In fact it ralher clinched the
good opinion I had already formed of
the girl, and I asked her to marry me.
The wedding will be in two months.'
There was a pause. The speaker ap-
parently went into reverie that he
had no intention Of disturbance. FL
nally howl went up.
"Well, what is the accomplishment
of this girl, Billy?"
Billy reused himself; and looked
about at the faces of his friends.
con, didn't I tell your said be.
"why, she can cook"

THE FIRST HOMEMADE "REHE!.
GUN.
1t is Owned by the Daughter Of the Man
who manufactured 1t.

CHATTANOOGA, March 9.-The first
gun made for the Confederate Govern
ment is owned by Mrs. H. I. Miller Of
this city. The owners Of Libby prison,
now in Chicago, are in correspondence
with Mrs. Miller for the purchase of
the historical relic. The gun was made
by Mrs. Miller's father, w. S. McEl-
waine, at Holly Springs, Miss, in the
summer Of 1861. 1t was carried through
part of the war by young man Of
Holly Springs, a friend of Mr.. Neil
waine. Originally it had a rifled barrel.
About the middle Of the war the barrel
was injured by ball, and the gun was
returned to Mr.. McElwaine, who cut it
off at the injured point and bored it for
a shotgun.
Mr.. McElwaine was native Of Pitts
field, Mass, where he learned the trade
of a machinist. Afterward he worked
in a gun factory in New York, and
then moved to Sandusky, Ohio, where
he engaged in the foundry and ma
chine business. In 1859 he Went To
Mississippi on prospecting trip He
settled at Holly Springs, and in crude
way began the foundry business with
two partners. When the war began
the company had well-equipped es-
tablishment, which Jefferson Davis in
duced the owners to convert into an ar
mory. Small arms were badly needed,
and Mr.. McEiwaine planned and made
the necessary machinery for nanufac-
turing them. With his own hands he
made the first gun, which his daugh-
ter now preserves. -
When the battlee66ff attic 66f Shiloh was fought
IN nlSS2 the plant was turning out twen-
ty-five stands of arms day and en-
ploying 500 hands. The armory was
afterward sold to the Confederate Gov
ernment for S150, 900, in addition to the
$4,000 paid for converting it into an
armory. The plant was shortly after
ward removed to Macon, Ga. After
the evacuation of Corinth by the Con-
federates a raid was made on Holly
Springs and the buildings were burned.
After an eventful career the maker of
the first gun of the Confederacy died
in Chattanooga in 1872.

THE Man WHO DID IT.
\ Victory OF Leadership and Not Of Rhct-
orc.
New York Sun.

One of the most potent political doc
uments that can be circulated before or
during the Presidential canvass of 1892
has recently been issued from the press
of George R. Gray, printer, at Wash
ington.
This pamphlet consists of extracts
from the journal ofthe Senate, covering
the history Of the memorable fight
against the Force bill. The record be-
gins. with Mr.. Hoar's motion on De-
cember 3, 1890, to proceed to the con-
sidera ion of the remodelled Lodge bill,
and it ends with. the vote of January
26, 1891, when the Senate, by 4 majori-
ty of one, laid the defeated measure
aside and proceeded to consider appor-
tionment.
None of the long speeches against
the Force bill are reported in the
pamphlet of which we are now speak
ing. 1t simply presents in chronology
cal order the strategic and tactical as
poets OF an extraordinary struggle. The
preliminary man9uvres for position,
the parliamentary skirmishes, the pro-
tests against the limitation of debate,
the energetic resistance Of the effort to
stife amendments, the appeals for a
fair and impartial hearing, the great
battle over the gag rule, the mastery
handling of the Democratic minority,
which at last achieved q victory against
almost hopeless odds, are here exhibited
in a compilation from the official
record which makes narrative with
movement as rapid and interest as in
tense as 2 16uumas5aoyel:
On every page is the nafrse>>S-- Sena-
tor German Of Maryland; and yet from
the beginning to the end of the debate,
as far as we remember, he made no
speech upon the merits of the measure
which he was opposing with all the
power of intellect and all the resources
of experience and all the courage of
honest Democratic convictions.
1t was a victory of leadership, not of
rhetoric. The leader was Arthur ?.
German. This is the story of one Of
the greatest services which patriotism
ever rendered to this country in time of
peace.

The Date of The CrucifXion.

That the time of Christ's crucitiXion
may be approximately demonstrated
by astronomical calculation, after pay
ing due regard to the historical data
in our possession, is asserted by Judge
Joseph P. Bradley Of the Supreme
Court of the United States. The cardi-
nal conditions required are: First that
the time must be brought within the
procuratorship of Pontius PLATE; Sec
ondly, it must be after the fifteenth
year of the reign of the Emperor Tibe-
rius and after the thirtieth year of
Christ's age; thirdly, it must occur on
the 18th of the Jewish month Nisan
(or abb, and on the sixth day of the
week, or Friday. After a great deal of
laborious research. Mr.. Bradley deduced
the following conclusions: "There was
only three years from A. D. 81 to A. D.
35, inclusive. in which the 1st Of Nisan,
and consequently the 18th of Nisan
happened on Friday. These were A. D.
p, 30 and So, the last being very doubt
full. But the qualification could not have
happened before A D. 2S, and probably
not later than A. D. 81. Therefore the
year 80 is the only one which satisefs
all the conditions ofthe problem. It sat-
isfcs them, because it gives opportunity
for Jesus to teach publicly for about
three years and to attend three pass
overs during his ministry, or four, ac-
cording as it commenced on or before
April 8, a. D. p. Now, since in A. D.
80 the 1st of Nisan fell on Friday, the
"a of March, the 18th fell on Friday, the
7th Of April which was the day of the
qualification"

Curiosity Aroused.
"tio!n' fur, mister :''

"Go!n' fui, mistcr:'
The question was asked by a long
nosed, thin-visaged man with pointed
chin whiskers, slouch hat and u hun
cry expression Of countenance. He
was resting his elbows on the seat in
front of him, which was occupied by
passenger in a gray checked suit.
The passenger addressed turned part
ly around, took a look at his ques-
toner, says the Chicago Tribune, and
sized him up at once.
Yes, am going to Nashville" he
replied, down in Tennessee. My
business there is to sell four shares of
bank stock, dispose Of my interest in

the city and invest the proceeds in

He stopped. The long nosed man
regarded him a moment with interest,
and then asked, in querulous, dis
satisfied way:
