- Mrs. Isaiah Monroe, Of Atlantic
City, N. j., has been In mourning sever
al weeks in consequence Of telegram
which announced that her husband bad
died of yelloB fefet iii the hafbor of Rio
de Janeiro: She has just received letter
from him postmsrked Buenos Ayres,
assuring her that he is alive and well.
She has discarded her mourning.
- The Rev. DR.. Lafferty In lecture at
New Orleans said that at Shiloh if Albert
Sidney Johnston had lived thirty min
utes longer Gen. Grant would have sur
rendered. He had this from Blair, then
member of the Lincoln cabinet. A
bullet sped in the dusk of the evening
struck down the great champion of the
South, and at the same time struck a
mortal blow to the cause of the Confed-
eracy. The battle of Sharpsburg turned
on the loss of dispatch by Gen. Lee
which was found by Mcclellan.
DIR. George F. Sheedy, in an article
on "American Achievements in Sur.
gerry" in the April Forum, says that
Ephraim Mcdowell, Kentucky Sur
geon, was the first man who dared to in
wade the region of the bowels with a
knife, and that to DR.. ]. Marion Sims, a
Southern surgeon, is due the establish
ment of new school In gynaeology,
which Is now admitted TO be true
American invention. Sims name Is
associated with more new instruments
and original operations than any other OF
his countrymen.
The saddest event we have had to
chronicle in many years Is that which &C.
Cured near Cottageyille yesterday after
noon about two O'CLOCK. Messrs. ". w.
Adams and Augustus Verdier, it appears,
had some difficulty about a line fence
separating their lands, when the latter
shot and killed the former. The gentle
men both have families, were neighbors
and good citizens, and we think it best
not to enter into details just now. Mr..
Verdier gave himself up to the authori-
ties and is now in Jail at this place.-CoI-
Teton Press.
- The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger says: "There was
disposition in the New York East Metho-
dist Conference On Sunday to criticise q
clergyman because he had ruin in debt.
But when it was proven that he was pas
tor of three churches and had to drive
from fourteen to thirty-eight miles every
Sunday in order to supply the three pull
pits, and that he was paid only $500 q
year, although he had been in consecu-
tive service for nineteen years, there
was turn in his favor. He was made an
elder, and collection amounting to S206
was taken up for him. Think Of cler-
gyman In New York Conference, after
nineteen years of service, receiving only
$500 year and expected to keep out of
debt. Truly such a man has the spirit OF
martyr. he night have made more
money as day laborer.'

A Cool HAN.

Reading an article publishedEn the
Tribune in which were described the
experience Of two men in railroad
wreck, where a car rolled over and
over down an embankment into river
reminded New Yorker of similar
accident.
tsThere ism anything In the world
that I know" he said, "that makes a
man lose his senses so completely as
being tumbled over and over in fall
ing car, and yet met man once who
seemed the personifcation of GOODNESS
in just such situation, AS soon
as our car left the track we were
all shot from our births in various di-
rections, being tumbled up and down
and around as the car kept on turning
somersaults. Like the people read
about, We landed in the water, and
when the car came to standstill after
its terrifying humping and crashing, I
was SO terrified that I could scarcely
move my arms to keep my head above
water.
Near me, however, was man who
kept his head.
"'Don't splash around so, be said.
You'll cut yourself. The car is full
of broken glass, lamps, wrenched rods
and rails, and you'll hack yourself to
pieces.

I shouted my fears to him,

An Augustan's Invention.

AUGUSTA, GA, April 49, Mr.. Cornele
Adams, an assistant In the Office of Mr..
Albert Davidson, the city engineer, has
invented and secured a patent on certain
apparatus that will work revolution In
the surveying world.
The new method Is called photograme-
try; and photography and electricity are
combined with the principles of angi-
neeting. The principle applies to sur
teying of an5 kind. A gas balloon four
teen feet high is sent up. Connected
with this is a parachute with big camera
attached. When height Of $500 feet is
reached, an anerold barometer releases
an electric current. This current exposes
the Photographic lens, releases the para
chute, and opens the gas valve of the
balloon. the parachute descends i'm
medlately and photograph of the earth
23x23 inches Is found, which covers an
area OF 100 acres. Then the courses, dis
tance and heights in the 100 acres are
worked out to needles point.

Wings By and BY.

"Walter," said a gentleman on a
ferry-boat to q poor, helpless cripple,
chow is it when you cannot walk, that
your shoes get worn p
A blush came over the boys pale
face, but after hesitating a moment
he said: 'sMy mother has younger
children, sir; and while she is out
washing, I amuse them by creeping
about on the floor and playing"
"Poor boyr' said lady standing
near, not loud enough as she thought
to be overheard. "What life to
lead What has he in all the future
to look forward to ?"
The tear started in his eye, and the
bright smile that chased itaway show
ed that he did hear her. AS she
passed by him to step on shore he
said, in a low voice, but with a smile !:
"I am looking forward to having wings
some day, lady"
Happy Walter Poor, crippled, and
dependent on charity, yet performing
his mission; doing, in his measure,
the Masters will, patiently waiting
for the future, he shall by and by,
"mount up with wings as eagles; shall
run, and not be weary; shall walk,
and not be faint.

No String to II.

There was a bright, new 50-cent
piece lying on the pavement on Jetfer-
SON avenue, near Griswold street,
when bow-backed man with satch-
el came along from the depot. He
saw the coin while he was yet 20 feet
away, and he made sudden forward
rush to get it. The movement was
almost instantly checked, however,
and he walked slowly forward and
backed to the curbstone and stood
there and gazed at the coin with a
foxy look on his eountenance. In
about minute d pedestrian Came up,
saw the coin, and reached for it and
put it in his pocket. Observing the
attitude of the old man at the samo

No Occasion for Suicide.

B1R1MNaHAM, ALA, April 9:-The
body Of Johu Trawick was found in q
swamp near Abbeville yesterday. A
pistol ball was in the head and an empty
pistol was lying close at hand. Yester-
day Trawick had quarrel with one
William Wright from whom he rented
the place on which he lived and to whom
he owed some rent. In rage, he drew a
pistol and fired several times at Wright,
who fell as though dead, although in
fact, he was only slightly wounded. Be-
lieving he had murdered the man. Ira
wick; it is believed, became 80 penitent,
or so alarmed, that he went to the swamp
and blew his own brains out with the
remaining load in his pistol.

Why one Eonng HAN Succeeded.

The value fof Fpromptness is fully
appreciated in business life. It is
one great element OF success. Laggards
do not bring things to pass. Thrift,
energy, tact, obedience, promptness
are characteristics which are sure to
bring success to any young man who
has opportunity as the first dollar Of
his capital.
A young man was commencing life
as clerk. One day his employer said
to him;
CHOW, tomorrow that carg, Of cot

and we must have a regular account of
it,.
He Was a young man Of energy.
This was the first time he had been
entrusted to superintend the execution
Of this work. He made his arrange
ments over night, spoke to the men
about their carts and horses, and re-
solved to begin very early in the
morning. He instructed the laborcrs
to be there at 4;30 o'clock. So they
set to work and the thing was done.

No Fun In 1t.

My neighbcr, Mr.. Pomeroy, is ex-
ceedingly fond Of practical joking, and
the other night, just before his wife
retired, he hid himself in the closet in
her room. When she came to bed he
uttered several deep groans in order
to scare her, whereupon she began to
scream, and fed from the room to call
for help. Then Pomeroy, thought he
would come out and undeceive her,
but to his dismay he found that the
spring catch upon the outside had
caught and fastened him in. Then
he began to call for assistance, but the
noise he made only convinced Mrs.
Pomeroy more strongly that there was
burglar in the closet.
When Pomeroy's brother-in-law
heard of the matter, he loaded his
revolver and called his dog and went
into the room. Then he began TO fire
into the closet, while Pomeroy, in an
agony of terror, shrank back in one
corner, and endeavored to make him
self understood. When five shots had
been fired, Pome7oy's brother-in-law
concluded to let the dog finish the
burglar, 30 he opened the door gently,
and the animal went in as if he were
hungry.
When they thought the dog GER
tainly had him, they opened the door
wide, and Pomeroy's brother.in-law
was just about to knock the burglar
on the head with the butt end Of the
pistol, when he saw who the victim
was. They hauled off the dog, and as
they lifted Pomeroy out, his brother
in-law began to say to him:
"Why, .Aleck, is it you thought
"Oh never mind what you thought II
replied Alsck, Indignantly. ''Never
mind what you thought. You've put
two bullet holes through thy Calf, and
your dog has bitten three or more
mouthfuls out Of my other leg, SOS
I'll be lame for life. If I had the
strength, I'd kill you on the spot;
but as soon as I get about again, to
Jail you go for assault and battery, or

Then they put him to bed and
bandaged him, and he is not about yet.

Fought at the Monument.

Two young men, the one commercial
traveller and the other a butcher, both
residents of this city, became involved IN
q difficulty, and to settle their diiier-
ences, by mutual agreement repaired on
Friday night TO the Lee monument
where under the shadow OF Marse Bod
they engaged in a pugilistic encounter,
n la Marquis OF Queensbury rules. inc
fight lasted for some time. and resulted
in the butchers being badly battered up
while his opponent escaped with but rev
scratches. Be II said, however, to the
credit of the former. that he was not
exactly himself.
The difficulty, II Is understood. grew
out of a practical joke that was played
on the drummer by his hitherto friend.
The former sells whskey, and the latter
was In his room on invitation, INDUCING
in a good time While there, as piece
OF fun. he mixed the samples OF spiritus
frumenti, and when the joke was dis
covered next day the salesman became
wrothy, and, seeking his friend, said some
naughty words, and then the fight was
arranged. No arrests have been made.

KILLED IN HIS OWN HOME.
Peyton Miles (Colored) Meets Death While
Ascending to His Room.

Peyton Miles, Il colored driver, living
over n stable in rear Of No. 405 east Cary
street. met with n fatal accident about 1880
o'clock last evening the circumstances OF
which are to some extent shrouded in
mystery.
The stairs leading TO his rooms over the
stable are very long and steep. and the
supposition Is that he fell while ascending
these and broke his neck.
He was seen TO enter the house by lsa-
iah Jones, a colored laborer, who was IN
the alley near the door, and In brief
space of time, Isaiah says. he heard a
noise as of some heavy object railing.
He at once concluded that Peyton had
fallen down the steps, and, opening the
door. found him lying AT the bottom OF
them. He tried to raise him and called
to him. but received no answer. lie then
secured a light and ascertained at a
glance that the man was dead.
The Coroner was at once notihed or the
occurrence. and went Immediately to the
scene. lie had the body moved upstairs,
and discovered that the neck was broken.
He made no further examination, how
ever, but will investigate the cause OF
death to-day.
The deceased was about 80 years of
age. and an Industrious man. He had
been employed as a driver by Mr.. Ed
mund Il. Addison. of No. 200 east Grace
street. but recently had been out of en-
ployment, and for several days had been
on a debauch He was very drunk when
he entered his house. and this Is thought
TO have been the cause OF his fall. No
one was I'm the house at the time, al
though 1t is occupied by q large number
of colored people.
