The Final Salute at A ppomattox

There occurred a curious incident
of which no mention is made in the
books which have treated of the clos
ing scenes of AppomattoX. The mus
kets of the Confederates were allowed
to remain stacked on the field. The
grass caught fire in some way. and
was allowed to burn. So suddenly
had the fighting ceased on the morn
ing of the 9th that thousands of the
pieces were left loaded.
AS the flames of the grass crept
along the line of stacked muskets the
guns were heated to the firing heat,
and soon there was incessant pop.
ping. The balls went mp into the air
almost straight until the force Of the
discharge was spentand then dropped
down. To this day the field of sur
render is strewn with these bullets,
and so little has Appoma5toX been
visited that the balls are easily found.
This firing of the muskets by the
burning grass was the only salute
that accompanied the surrender.
When Lee had received Grants terms
and accepted them, the firing Of 100
guns in token of victory was begun,
but Grant quickly stopped it. st.

No Fun About Bueklng Rronehos.


"Many people have an idea that to
ride bucking broncho is the cowboys
delight, but they're badly mistaken.
There's no fun in it. When a thor
oughbrcd rears and prances there's
no jar in it, and 1 rather like to have
one do it if l am riding But when a
broncho bucks and jumps into theair
and comes down stiff legged, with his
feet planted together, that jars ev-
cry bone in the riders body, especial
" his backbone, and is apt to make
him feel pretty sick in short order
MY first experience with a buck
ing broncho cured me of the idea that
there was fun it. had read that the
cowboy always locks his spurs under
the broncho's belly at such times, and
so / did the same Well the spurs
went through the horsehair cinch,
and the brOncho kept bucking 50 long
as they staid there. l couldn't get
them out till two men came to help
me.
1.-THE proper thing to do when a
broncho bucks is to keep your spurs
away from him, balance yourself for
ward or backward in the saddle, ac-
cording to the way he jumps, and
grip him well between your knees.
You have to let him buck till he gets
tired of it or finds he can't get you
off. San Francisco Bulletin.

Tho Pealter of St. Louis.

A precious relic of the early French
kings has found its way to the Due d 'Au-
males splendid collection at Chantilly,
destined for the nation at his death. 1t
is the so called "Psalter of st. Louis a
beautiful vellum manuscript most artis-
tically illuminated in gold and colors.
Originally the psalter belonged to the
Danish wife of Philip Augustus, Inge-
borg, her name and the date 1914 being
embroidered in silver on the violet vel
vet cover, while various entries of fami-
ly events are recorded inside, just as in

the psalter was kept among the French

COSMOPOLITAN LOUISIANA.

The Remarkable Array of Races That In
habit the Coast Country.
OF the 2O02 counted victims of the re-
cent Louisiana coast floods only 90 were
negroes. There are few colored people
in the section visited by the storm. They
,re a mixed up people in that part of
Louisiana. The predominating races are
Acadians, Austrians, creoles, Islingues,
Italians, Manillamen, Chinese and Span
iards. the number of each ranging in the
order named.
The Acadians are descendants of the
people who have been immortalized in
Longfellow's poem "Evangeline," These
people have large families, frequently
from 12 to 10 children each. The Manil-
lamen are full blooded Tagals from the
Philippine islands. These people had
no women among them. They had only
one stove in the whole colony, and they
eat their fish raw. They fraternize well
with the Chinese and are treated by the
whites on equal terms. The people
called Austrians are genuine Slavs, gem
orally Morlachs from Dalmatia. They
speak Italian, a relic Of the days when
Venice ruled Dalmatia. They are all
fishermen and are industrious, bold and
hardy people. The Islingues are the de-
scendants of colony of Canary islanders
who came over to Louisiana during the
Spanish invasion. They have dash of
the Berber blood of the Canary aborigines
and are darker than the average Span
lard. Scattered among these various
peoples are a few Americans and Ger
mans and many creoles.
In spite of their propinquity these races
generally live separate, and one can, in
travelling few miles, find settlements of
pure blooded people of each nationality.
This is remarkable fact, as many fam
lilies are natives who can count their
American descent back for 10 or dozen
generations. They live in the swamps
and lowlands, and this accounts for the
terrible destruction of life by the storm.
They control the entire fishing industry,
but the packing houses for oysters and
shrimps are owned by Americans. There
were 1900 fishermen lost in the floods.
The others were sailors, traders, store
keepers and farmers. The absence of ne
groes is due to the fact that they have
been driven out by the overwhelming
numbers of these queer people.-Troy

Landholder Alexander's Ambition.

The announcements of the death in San
Jose, Cal, few weeks ago of John Hen
derson Alexander recalls the singular
history of a once wealthy citizen Of
southern Illinois. Alexander's ambition
in accommodating wealth was to be able
to own at the same time one section of
the richest land in three of the leading
states. He started out with section of
valuable land in Maryland. From there
he went to New fork and accumulated
enough money to purchase another sec
tion of valuable land. He then turned
toward the west, and in the fertile Shi.
loh valley, three miles west of Mas
coutah, he purchased a section of the
finest producing land in Illinois. Years
later Alexander met with business re-
verses and died in California in COM
paratively moderate circumstances

Generations of Dwarfs.

Colonel A. T. Fraser has sent us an in
terestins note from Bellary with regard
to two Hindoo dwarfs which he photo
graphed in the Kurnoul district of the
Madras presidency, not far south of the
river Kistna. In speech and intelligence
the dwarfs were indistinguishable from
ordinary natives of India. From an in
terrogation of one of them it appeared
that he belonged to family all the male
members of which have been dwarfs for
several generations. They marry ordi-
nary native girls, and the female chill
dren grow up like those of other people.
The males, however, though they devel-
op at the normal rate until they reach
the age Of 6, then cease to grow and be-
come dwarfs. These stunted specimens
of humanity are almost helpless and are
unable to walk more than few yards.

A NATURAL Endowment.

The training of men for work which
requires the highest possible nicely of
hand is not really training. 1t is far
more the selection by experiment of men
born with the true touch. For example,
we doubt whether the very greatest sur
geons-the men whose success depends
upon their ability to make sharp steel as
sensitive as a finger tip-perform their
hundredth operation better than their
first. They have more confidence no
doubt, but the sleight of hand is inborn.

like the wind. If he happens to be
