Chinese Mourning.

The monthly bills of the Washington
Gas Light company are printed on paper
of a peculiar dirty yellow tint which
happens to be the exact hue of the Chi
nese emblem of mourning. The long
strips are left regularly at the doors of
all houses in the city, and at the Chi
nese legation among the rest. Just
after the change in ministers the strip
was left as usual In the vestibule of
the legation, and, being carried to the
new minister, affected him profoundly.
1t was evidently intended, he thought,
as notification of somebody's death,
and as it was left at the legation door
it doubtless indicated the bereavement
of some family high in official life.
The minister at once gave orders to
close the house. The usual instru-
ments of mourning were brought out,
the shutters were drawn, and passers-
by for the remainder of the evening
were RECALLED by a combination of curl.
Gus noises, such as the Chinese only
know how to utter when engaged in
bewailing the dead.

The SonI and the BEARD.

In Russia it was the common belief
up to the time of Peter the Great that
beardless men were also soulless, and
that a man who purposely admitted of
having his beard married could never
enter heaven. The great Peter above
referred to ordered his heathens to
"shave up" so as to appear more civil
lied, and when they refused to comply
with his edict he fined the wealthy and
middle classes one hundred rubles for
each beard that was permitted to grow
and each peasant and laborer a copek
for the same privilege. Finally the
priests were appealed to and they in
formed their parishioners that unless
they submitted to having their boards
shaved they need not expect that st.
Nicholas, the gatekeeper of heaven,
would be able to distinguish them from
the bearded Turks. That had the de-
sired effect,

SAVING A SOLDIERS LIFE.
A Reprieve from President Lincoln
Delayed by Accident.


Pittsburg ChronicleTelegraph.
Hon. A. T. McKelvey, of st.
Clairsville, o., who was manager
Of the Western Union telegraph
office in Wheeling during the war,
tells a good war story:
At one time a detachment of
troops was strung along the Balti-
more and Ohio road, guarding the
road. A good deal of trouble had
been experienced on account of de.
sertions, since many Of the men
lived not far away and wanted to
go home. One day a soldier, not
more than boy, jumped on a
train and went home without
leave. He was arrested, taken back,
tried and sentenced to be shot for
desertion. His execution was to
take place at $3.50 on Sunday
morning. At this time the only
communication between Martins
burg and Washington, because Of
the wires being cut, was through
the Wheeling office, where mes.
sages were transferred to Pittsburg,
and then on through. On the Sat
urday evening previous to the ex-
ecution Mr.. McKelvey says he was
at the key when message from
the condemned boys mother to
President Lincoln, asking for re-
prieve for her boy, passed over the
wires, and was transferred by Mr..
McKelvey. The message recounted
that the boy was homesick, and
did not intend to desert, but to re-
turn to his regiment after seeing
his mother. 1t was couched in
such pathetic language that it at
once struck Mr.. McKelvey that 1T
would certainly bring a favorable
reply. But in the rush Of business
the incident was forgotten and
finally the office was closed for the
night.
The next day being Sunday 1t
was the custom to open the office
about 8 o'clock, but it was con-
siderably after 8 o'clock before Mr..
McKelvey found himself leisurely
walking down street to the office.
Suddenly a recollection of that
message popped into his mind.
No answer had come the night be-
fore, and in few minutes the ex-
ecution would take place, and pos
sibly message was waiting. Mr..
McKelvey says he first started to
walk faster, then to run, and final
ly, fully aroused to the need for
I'll L.
the distance possible by TAX
ing to alleys and back
streets and going at a dead run.
He rushed up the steps of the tele-
graph office three steps at a jump.
When he went in both Martinsburg
and Pittsburg were calling the
Wheeling office. He hastily told
Martinsburg to wait while he an
swered Pittsburg. The Pittsburg

office had the reprieve, which he
took. Rushing over to the other
instrument he answered Martins
burg, which asked, "Have you-~
eyes," replied McKelvey, breaking
in. "For Gods sake hurry" licked
off Martinsburg, 1.-The procession
has gone by" Mr.. McKelvey
rushed the message and the man
was saved, though a moment more
would have been too late. Mr.. Nc
Kelvey says the fact Of his being
a few minutes late in reaching the
office came near costing that man

FIRST RIDE ON THE ELEVATED.
1t Impresses Strangers Now as 1t Did New
Workers Twenty Years Ago.

1t Impresses Strangers Now as 1t Did New
Workers Twenty Years Ago.
Every day there are among the pas
sengers on the elevated roads consider
able numbers of persons who are rid
ing there for the first time-visitors
from out of town. To the stranger I'M
accustomed to such structures. says the
New York Herald, the elevated road
must be one of the sights and sensa-
tions of the metropolis. Here on the
platform of an elevated station, wait
ing for a train, stood little party of
people from out of town, whose bags
and traps indicated that they had come
from distance. A train approached
rapidly.
Now" said lady in the party to
the boy whom she held by the hand,
''you are going to ride on the elevated
railroad"
At the same time it was clear that
the lady was herself much interested,
as indeed she might well be, for it is
certainly a striking experience, the
first ride through the varying scenes
of great city upon an elevated track,
with the endless traffic of the streets
weaving in and out below, looking
down upon the heads of the throngs
