A man and woman who live over on
the west side went up to Lake George
hotel a week or Two ago for little out
ing. They found things rather dull,
and after 4 week of it the man told his
wife that he had been called back to
Buffalo on business, but that she would
have to stay until the end of the three
weeks planned for the trip. She pro-
tested that she would be lonely and all
that; but the man was obdurate and the
result was that she stayed. An arrange
ment, according to the Buffalo Express,
was made, however, that she should tele-
graph TO him if it got too stupid, and he
would wire back whether or not she
could come home.
The man came home and the woman
moped. She stood it for three days, and
then, when rain storm came on and
everything was so dull and miserable
that she could stand it no longer, she
telegraphed to the man:
at is raining. What shall ! do?"
He had been having a lively time for
those three days. He was perfectly sat
isfied TO have his wife stay at Lake
George for the remainder of the allotted
time. So he went to the telegraph office
and wired to her this heartless message
"Steel an umbrella if You haven't got
one"
There's talk of bill of separation in
that family.

Augusta EVENT. News.
Another hero of the hurricane which
did incaloulable damage on the Carolina
coast, destroying life and property, was
Dave E. johnson, an old Augusta negro.
Dave has q contract for the building
of the government dry docks on Paris
Island.
In the morning of the Sunday even
ing, the storm visited the island, Dave
discovered something unusual in the
water which greatly disturbed him. He
thought 1t portended something bad and
he calculated on storm.
Dave hurriedly got his horses and
mules together and drove them back on
high part of the island free from
danger.
Apprehending fearful times he went
in search for something with which he
could save his life in case of tidal
wave.
He went to the waters edge and
found lighter which had sunk. He
raised the large open boat, and with the
assistance of several men had the barge
bailed out
When the storm came Dave got on
the lighter and gathered 30 men, women
and children in the boat with him.
The wind tossed the barge to and fro
on the rough waters and carried it far
out to sea. Dave, fearing the lighter
would sink, undressed and made ready
to swim for his life when the boat went
down.
The lighter never sank, but did not
return from sea until the next evening,
after "a hours had elapsed.
Nearly every man, woman and child
on the boat were naked, their clothes
having been torn from them
They suffered greatly without food
but were thankful at having been saved
from death, and they owe their rescue
to Dave, who is genuine hero of the
storm.

woicott of Colorado. Declares That
There viii be No Factious Opposition
to the Resolution.
WAsHINdToN, Sept. 22.-After very
short routine morning business session.
the cloture resolution was laid before the
Senate to-day, and Mr.. Wolcott, r., (Col.)
took the floor and made a statement.
Although he said that he would vote
against it, he declared that no factious
opposition would be made to ii, and that
vote upon it could be reached much sooner
than n vote upon the Repeal bill could be.
If the Senate desired vote on the clio
ttre resolution, it could have it without
much debate. He would not interpose the
slightest objection to full and fair and
free vote upon it. He would be content
himself with voting against it.
If there was failure to press it to vote
then criticism on the Senators opposing
the Repeal bill would have to cease.
The debate on the Repeal bill could be
stitied by the cloture rule, but it could not
be stified otherwise. In his own opinion,
however, cloture was not necessary be-
cause there had been no factious delay.

Written for Gazette and Journal
watch alone the hearth's red glow,
Without are storm and night,
And recall scenes long ago,
When skies were fair and bright.
And many well-loyed face see
But wild winds sigh and moan,
For many one is lost to me,
And time cannot atone.
The fire is low and dead the flame,
The storm-liends madly rave,
And when voice some precious name,
| see an open grave.
Yet will build the fire once more,
The storm is lulled TO rest,
For God still has some good in store,
And hope lives in my breast.

line was being forced backward, lialtihS
his furious ridden horse, called outs
"What regiment is that? !"
"The First Minnesota

A charge into eternity that order
meant. 4 double quick, without dis;
charging a gun, with the Concentrated
fire of the Confederate army pouring a
leaden rain of death upon thom--at
double quick, then at full speed, they
charged into the enemys advancing
ranks. Gen. Hancock saw that hYe

regiment in those fearful five minutes
and the position was held. The charge
saved the day, but 50 per cent OF the
men who made the charge were LETT on
the field. Nearly every officer was dead
or MORALLY wounded, OF the 262 men
who made the charge 2l5 were shot
