W0xIo E 5 &E 13&Ni8 n N& They h1d ICng 1z1 o1I1Ious 011l4 1e1 together. The general had hnnts1 np tho federal lieutenant and had written out his Statement before witnesses, and tlnis Statement he had sealed and sent to hia wife only to be opened h case of his death.
 Re was vastly pleased that John had done SO we'll in the service. and when John rather sadly said:
 ssWhile it Is. of course. personal eradication, 1t does seem hard that these things should come to lonely man like me- to whom they can be oi no possible benefit. and miss so many good men who have homes and families to share in their honors.s
 ssYou arc wrong about that. John. These things have not come to you by chance, but because you have earned them. You have moro friends than you imagine, and you are member of my family, in affection, if not in blood, and if we lose sight of you again it will be your fault, not ours.
 Johns eyes glistened. but he said nothing, only in his heart there was deeper thaQlzfu1ness than when he re- ceived his promotion.
 Just before they parted, after arrang- ing for . correspondence, the general said to him: 'T am going to say to you what would not say to any other per son. believe our cause is lost; but we can yet do our duty. The chances are that neither of us will survive this des- perate struggle, but if fall, and you escape, leave my wife and daughter to your care, and do this knowing it is a heavy burden to put on young man, but you have no other ties and know can trust you"
 The young man was deeply touched.
 eff God spares my life, your wife and daughter shall be to me sacred charge; but hope we shall be permitted to work together for their good"
 'T hope so, but I fear not. !" responded the general
 The general went his way and John returned to his command.
 Then came the terrible year, 1864. Everywhere the conflict became more desperate. The confederates, vastly out numbered, fought with the sullenness ot despair, winning fruitless victories at a bloody cost in men that could not be replaced. At Trevillian's, John won his colonelcy, and grew in favor steadily with his superiors and with his regi- ment. To look at his bronzed face, grave mien and heavy beard, no one would have supposed him the mere boy in years that he really was.
 He maintained a desultory core spondence with Gen. and Mrs. Greg ory, but was grieved to the heart after Hoods disastrous winter campaign to learn that Gen. Gregory was desperate ly wounded at the battle of Nashville and had fallen into the hands of the enemy and died in hospital He wrote Mrs. Gregory tenderly and pathetically, telling her of his last conversation with the general, and assuring her that she had still son left. The heart-brolzen woman wrote him in reply 8 letter which he never got, praying for his safety and longing to see him

w.4~ sTAaPs CAME Ra.

Over Half q Century Since Rowland Hu Got England to Use Them.
 Fifty-two years ago, according to a number of authorities and many phila- telists, postage stamps for prepaying postage on letters first came into use in England Rowland Hill advocated their use three years before, and set to work on a design which, when it first ap- peared. was ridiculed and characterized as sticking plaster" The idea that business could be expedited and rates lessened by means of stamps was called absurd.
 For all practical purposes May 6, 194O, was the first date when adhesive stamps came into general use for pre- payment of letter postage in England. The United States did not adopt the system until 1s47. Before 1s49 stamped newspaper wrappers were experiment. ally introduced in England, but letters went the old way in the care of post man, who collected the charges when the parcel was delivered.
 As early as 1858 postpaid envelopes were used in Paris, and stamped postal envelopes were issued by the govern ment of the Sardinian states from 1920 to 1886. These, however, did not em- brace the convenience met with in the adhesive, separate stamps, which at once won public approval.
 The manufacture of stamps was in the start very crude, and the designs far from the better styles of to-day. In England there was pictured head of the queen, but considerable opposition was made to the design because of the seeming indignity cast upon the ruler when the face was blackened in can ce1lation.
 The German states quickly followed Great Britain in using stamps for letter postage, having figures with various in- signia engraved about them on the face. Brazil introduced letter stamps in 1s43, adorning them with likeness of the emperor.
 ! The United States, first of all the countries. after adopting ''sticlKers, ? went into the classification of values, using separate designs for various kinds of mail matter IN. " Timea

What great blessing the protectorate of European nation over a savage people is by the latter considered to be was shown by the action of number of tribes on the middle course of the Niger.

It has not been made known yet what these suItans and the French government are going to do about it.

PHILADELPHIA, June 3. - Spreckels' sugar refinery will resume operations next Monday. Steam is already up, and the other things necessary to activity will all be in readiness by the date men tioned. The stories, therefore, about putting up the price of sugar by con- tracting the output seem to be without foundation. The Spreckels Company can produce immense quantities of the commodity, and the probabilities are that there will be sugar enough for everybody for a long time to come.

Are Our Girls Getting Taller.

"Have you noticed" said a gildeo
youth in Hyde Park, chow much taller
the girls have been these last few seasons
than formerly?" The remark was just,
and though it did not seem to strike the
critic the reason for the change is obvious
enough. These tall girls, with their
graceful figures and free movements,
have had an education in gymnastics
which has developed them to a point of
perfection of which their mothers never
dreamed. A recent critic complained
that little women had gone out in fiction,
and perhaps this has happened, because
to great extent the little woman has
gone out in real life.
So much the better, for though in
stories, and perhaps in counting days,
there is something fascinating in the
heroine's birdlike futterings, in her
nesting timidly in the hero's protecting
arms, or standing on tiptoe to fasten
flower in his buttonhole, the charming
fairy was apt, if you only knew it, to be-
come an invalid in maturer life, and
spend half her time upon the sofa. The
lady who reclines on sofa has also van
ished from fiction, at least as an interest
ing and attractive character, and to die
of consumption is no longer romantic.
Health is in fashion-in the park and

No gerrymander for Republican ad-
vantage is ever rebuked by Republi-
can leaders or organs. There is Ohio
for example, close State, which has
been carried by the Democrats three
times IN the last ten years. The Re
publican Legislature last winter re-
gerrymandered the Congressional dis
tricts to as to give that party fifteen,
and perhaps sixteen, of the twenty
one districts. But as carrying cleo
lions by bribery when necessary is
done for the ultimate glory Of God,
according to the Harrison Wanamaker
Phansaism, so gerrymandering for the
same party is evidently excused by its
leaders as II device to promote good
government-by giving them the off

There is plant growing in the South
ern waters of the United States which
possesses the singular property of being
able to render the most impure standing
water perfectly healthy. The people Of
Louisiana and Mississippi call it the
water lotus.
1t consists of leaves about the size of
the head of pin, and roots SO fine as to
escape notice save under microscopic
inspection. Where it grows at all, it
covers the water, and to the casual OBJ
server looks like a coating of green
scum. The flowers and seeds are micro
scopic, SO that its appearance in any
given locality is not readily accounted
for, but wherever it does appear the
water beneath is always fit to drink.
So marked is this property that fami-
lies using the water from bayous where
the lotus is abundant are known to have
better general health than those taking
their drinking water from places where
the lotus is not found. 1t is often trans
planted into ponds, bayous and lakes,
spreads with wonderful rapidity and
never fails to do its work well.-St. Louis

The stables of King Humbert of Italy
are exceptionally fine and contain at
present nearly $50 horses, chiefly English
bred.
The double row of stalls forms a regu-
lar street, so beautifully kept that it is
pleasure to walk through it, and each
animal has his name printed in large let
ters on little board above the manager.
Among the English horses may be no.
ticed such names as Flirt, Milford, Lawn
Tennis, EPSON and Gentleman.
Upstairs are the state carriages ana
those used on special occasions. Some OF
these are magniticently upholstered IN
white satin. The carriage in which the
queen drives every day is quite plain, but
this simplicity is counteracted by the
brilliant scarlet liveries of her coachman
and footmen.-London Tit Bits.
