The union officer had turned his
glass upon US and seemed intently
watching the colonel, for he was but
one hundred yards distant.
Now, sir officer, | send you my card
-" fash, a report and in an instant
the arms of the officer were thrown
wildly in the air; he reeled. recovered
himself and then fell from the saddle.
A shout of triumph ran along our
line, but Harvey turned to me and
said:
Come. colonel, let US go over in a
boat and get his body; he may have
important papers about him"
A few minutes later we reached the
other side, and just in time, as the
federal troops We're hurrying forward
10 avenge their officers death. We
reached the fallen man, and with one
loud cry Col. Maddox threw himself
upon the PROSTATE form, exclaiming;
Great God, forgive me- 1 have
killed my own brother"
Never shall I forget the look upon
poor Harvey's face as he looked upon
the cold, upturned girlish face of his
brother George.
"Come, Harvey, we must away, or
we win be takenr' | said. and drew
him from the sad scene, and not a mo-
ment too soon, for the balls were fall
ing thick around us.
We reached the other side, and the
face of the poor colonel was hardly
recognizable to those who had known
him so full of life.
Not a word of this, colonel. Moth
er, father, sister. must never know by
whose hand he died. This is indeed a
war of brother against brother"
The next day our regiments were or
dered to different fields of action, and
through the whole war continually
heard of the reckless daring of Col
Maddox
1t was years before we met again,
and then in a cafe in French town
we met one night. He recognized me,
for the change that had come over
him was such that would never have
known the happy friend of my boy

A HOLE THROUGH THE EARTH.
Where Would Ball Dropped Into 1t
Come to Stope

Come to Stop?
"W. II. j." residing at Richmond.
No, sends the follow ing peculiar query
70 the editor of the ST. louis Republic,
and asks for an answer to it:
IF it were possible TO drill hole of
a foot or more in diameter entirely
through the earth and then to start
ball weighing one hundred pounds or
more to falling through the same at
what point would it stop?''
Answer: Weight, in the sense that
''W. j. NJ" refers to it, is the measure
of attraction Of gravitation; or, in
other words, it is the measure of force
with which body is attracted by the
earth. This attractive force decreases
both ways from the surface of the
earth, both outward into space or
downward toward the globes supposed
molten center. In partial explanation
of this assertion l will say that any
given size bulk OF iron, or any other
mineral or material whatever, will
weigh less on the top of high noun
tain than it will at sea level. In order
to be exact ia this matter | viii say
that a mass of one Thousand pounds
weight will lose exactly two pounds
between tidewater and the top of a
mountain four miles high. This, it is
plain to be seen, is because the force
of the earth's attraction is much less
on the mountain top than it is at the
sea level.
Therefore if ball be started on the
journey outlined in the query sent in
by our Richmond friend, its weight
would decrease to a certain extent with
every yard of its fight Tor fall, until,
finally, upon reaching the center of the
earth, it would have no appreciable
weight, the attraction at that point
acting equally in every direction. This
being true, it is plain that the phe-
nomenon of what we know as weight
would be entirely wanting, and the
ball would be held in suspension as
though immovably transfxed by num-
erous magnetic or invisible points.

MARRIAGE FOR YOUNG MEN.
Usually the Only Thing That VIII Make a
Man Save Money.

Usually the Only Thing That VIII Make a
Man Save Money.
This is true story, and one that
will apply to many other young men
besides this particular one 1t is a
great pity that this is true, says the
Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette, but SO
it is.
A prosperous business man who en-
ploys quite number of clerks said re-
Gently that he had been led to the con-
clusion that the young man who saved
and invested his earnings is an ex-
ception to the rule. He was surprised
to find this to be true. The facts came
out when he began reducing his work
ing force as business fell off The
first to be dropped We're those who had
no family depending upon them. Then
it was that they would confess they
hadn't saved a dollar, and had no
means whatever upon which to live.
This same man also observed that
the married men nearly all had saved
something, Notwithstanding their
salaries were no larger, and in some
cases less, than those drawn by single
mer.
BY quizzing these young bachelors
he found that riotous living was the
principal cause Of their poverty.
Some of them gambled on the quiet,
and Others just naturally let it go
right and left as long as there was any
to go.
From this he concluded that mar
riage is a very good thing for young
man. provided he marries a sensible,
practical sort of woman. Hereafter
he proposes to give married men the
preference because, in so doing, he will
be helping those who are willing to
help themselves.

for a long time it was doubtful whether
they could save it.
"A year or two later the general was

and close attention to his duties won

Gratis and republicans alike. One day

BUILDING A HOUSE IN BERMUDA
The Walls and the Roof Made Out of
White Coral Rock.

The Walls and the Roof Made Out of
White Coral Rock.
Any man who chooses, says an article
on Bermuda in the Review of Reviews,
may scrape the thin coating of earth
off from his proposed building site and
proceed to lay up the walls of his
habitation with the blocks sawed out
in the process of excavating his cellar.
Thus when the cellar is dug the house
may be ready for roofing, and if
enough roofing material has not al
ready been accumulated in the course
of the excavation, it can easily be had
by digging the cellar a trifie deeper,
for the roofs in Bermuda are invariably
made out of thin slabs of this same
white coral rock. 1t has the advan-
tage of being so soft that one may cut it
with an ordinary handsaw ten hours a
day for six months or a year without
refiling the saw. 1t may be sawed into
slabs two or three inches thick and
eighteen inches or two feet square
without particular danger of breaking
the slabs. 1t looks somewhat like a
very soft, chalky variety of marble.
Though so workable when first
quarried L hardens upon exposure.
Moisture Permeates it easily, however,
and it is desirable that a building
should be covered with thin coating
of Portland cement or mixture Of
common plaster with cement. This
coating is then treated with heavy
whitewash made of lime burned from
the same ever-ready coral rock The
roofs and chimneys, as well as the
walls, are kept constantly whitewashed
and are absolutely as white as the
driven snow.

A Tragic story of Union Officer and a
Confederate Colonel.

A Tragic story OF Union Oficer and q
Confederate Colonel
Harvey Maddox was always noted,
from his early boyhood, as a wonder
fully clever fellow. No boy at school
dare contest with him in the youthful
sports that all boys know and love so
well, and as he grew older and entered
college he still held the palm-still was
victor in all games And not alone in
youthful sports was Harvey superior to
his comrades, but also in his studies
he stood first in his class.
With high honors he graduated, and
the absence from college the following
year left sad vaeancy-one not easily
filed.
| had been his roommate for two
terms at college in 1859, although he
had brother a student in the same
university, but George Maddox pos
sessed a quiet, girlish nature and cared
little for manly sports Thus, as Har-
vey's room was the theater of constant
action-the scene of sword exercise
and pistol practice, not TO forget the
manly art of self defense with the
gloves two brothers by mutual
consent decided to occupy separate
chambers. Both were devoted TO each
other, and especially did Harvey re-
we're and love his brother George, and
in the latter's congratulations to his
brother, when in graduating he took
from him the first honors, there was
no shade Of envy, although George had
burned the midnight oil" and labored
long and late for the coveted prize.
After leaving college the two broth
ers returned to their home in New
York state, and while George settled
down TO the practice of law in his ma
tive town, Harvey became a rover and
in the far west sought scenes of excite
ment and danger
Soon he became noted as a wild rider
and the best shot in the west and was
feared by many of those daring des-
country
From the west he wandered south,
and when | again heard of him it was
as a planter in Texas.
A few years passed and then COM
menced the civil war, and with heart
and soul Harvey Maddox went into the
cause of the south. and from his popu-
larity, well-known courage and hon
esty of purpose he was elected colonel
of a southern regiment. although he
was known TO be northerner by birth.
1t was not long after the struggle
commenced before Col Maddox became
famous for his reckless courage, and,
above all, for his workmanship and
being the best shot in the army
His hair-breadth escapes and his
fancy pistol shots were the talk of the
camp, and, hearing his name under
discussion one day, determined to
ride over to his regiment and see if it
was not my old college chum.
As | expected, it was my old friend
and warm greeting passed between us
Upon inquiry | learned that his
Brother Gerge had enlisted In the union
army and that his family had cast him
Harvey off for going into the service
of the south, and he added:
Il regret deeply, old fellow, that
such is the case, for love every mem
Der of my family dearly and would not
give them pain, but have adopted
the south as my home and am willing
TO risk my life In its cause"
