MILITARY CURIOSITY SHOP.
Quaint and Rusty Weapons of War and Old
 Uniforms at Second Hand.

OunOEAhlb nS CGCV11u A1duus
 In South street, in the shadow of the Brooklyn bridge, Is q military curiosity shop whose patrons include artists and dilettante clublnen, fshmongers .and .shoky poky' men. Everything about the place is rusty. The aged proprietor had rusty brown hair before it began to turn gray.
 The stores only sign is lot of old uni forms and soldiers hats which hang above the door and a number of rusty sabers in the window. On the showcase are Unit ed States regulars cap, fur cap of tho English Royal Household cavalry, the blue helmet of Lancashire regiment bearing the one significant word Egypt" sug- gestlve of weitering suns, sandstorms and long marches; the cap of q French cavalryman, the helmet of a German infan- tryman, the square topped helmet of the Royal Irish Lancers, q gaudy Austrian dress helmet and bandnasters hugo fur cap. On the wall overhead is everything from the flashing red of an English pri- vate's coat to a tattered garment in Con fedcrate gray.
 A nintlock muskct hangs by the side of a short sword of the modern type, and not far away is an up to date navy revolver In fact, you can find nearly everything that pertains to the accouterments of sol diers anywhere You can buy for $2 swords that helped General Miles to whip the last bit of fight out of the Apaches and muskets that went through the civil war for less. A dollar will buy villainous looking navy short sword
 The proprietor never allows anything to be dusted, for that would diminish tho selling value of his curios People who like to boast that their grandsires fought un- der General Washington not infrequently come here to acquire accoutorments of the Revolutionary era. The old gentleman takes just as much pleasure in showing his swords and arms and dueling pistols as he does in making d sale He likes to show his wares to d connoisseur.
 Theatrical companies arc his chief cus- toners. If the stage manager has a squad of United States soldiers to clothe, he comes here and gets uniforms for a song. He can buy guns and swords for less than their rent would amount to, and although they have been condemned as useless for actual service the guns fire blank cartridge well enough for stage purposes, and when cleaned up look very formidable before the footlights. When the stage soldiers are through witN the guns, the proprietor will buy them baelz--He buys his unifa-,ns from the government in quantities for tho most part, but many of them he gets from former soldiers and sailors.

Writing With HIiIk.

In the course of trial in Franco a let ter was read from man named Turpin, a chemist, under sentence of five years imprisonment as spy, giving directions to friend, with a view to establishing @ secret correspondence with him while in prison. This led to an off cial inquiry on the subject by the French authorities, and some strange revelations were obtained from so,no of the convicts.
 It appears that when information has to be conveyed to a prisoner a formal let ter containing apparently nothing but a few trivial facts of personal nature, is forwarded to tho prison. This is read by the governor, who stamps it and allows it to be handed to the man to whom it is ad dressed. The latter is aware, however, that there is another letter to be read within tho lines, this being written in milk and being easily. decipherable on being rubbed over with dirty finger. = Chambers Journal

SHERMAN IN THE FIELD.
He Was Light Sleeper. and His Living
 Was Simplicity Itself.

On the march and in the camp Sher- mans life was simplicity itself. He had few brilliantly uniformed and useless aids about him. The simple tent fly was his usual headquarters, and under it all his military family ate together. His dis patches he wrote mostly with his own hand. He had little use for clerks. But Dayton, his adjutant general, was better than 0 regiment of clerks. When we halt ed somewhere in the woods for the night, the general was the busiest man in tho army. While others slept his little camp fire was burning, and often in the long vigils of the night I have seen tall form walking up and down by that fire. Sher man himself slept but little. He did not seem to need sleep, and I have known him to stay but two hours in bed many d night. In later years slight asthma made much sleep impossible for him. After the war, when was at his home in St. Louis, he seldom retired till 12 or 1 o'clock It was often as late, too, on this march.
 It was singularly impressive sight to see this solitary figure walking there by the f1ickering campfire while tho army slept. If gun went off somewhere in the distance, or if an unusual noise were heard, he would instantly call one of us to go and find out what it meant. He paid small attention to appearances, to dress almost none
 "There is going to be battle today, sure,'' said Colonel Audenreid of the staff ono morning before daylight.
 How do you knowf" asked comrade.
 Why, don't you see? The general is up there by the fire putting on clean collar The signs dead sure.

 Colonel Atkinson was born on farm in Meriwether county about 40 years ago In early life he lost bis father and was forced to work pretty hard to pay for the education which he received in the state university at Athens. After graduating he studied law and was admitted to the bar and then moved to Newman, where he has since lived and practiced his profes- sion.
 Atkinson attributes much of his political and professional success to the sympathy and encouragement of his wife, who possesses more than ordinary accom- plishments and Is very popular in society Mrs. Atkinson was Miss Susie Cobb Mil. ton of Mariana Fla.
