WAR "REMINISCENCES.
MARCHING THROUGH GEORGIA.


An After-Dinner Toast That was Inter
rupted by Gen. sherman.
When the national convention of
lawyers met in the west some years
ago, Mr.. Du Bignon was sent to repre-
sent Georgia, his native state. Being
one of the rising young men of his
region, he was also invited to respond
10 the cast: The Young Manhood of
the South" at the large banquet to be
given.
The young lawyer prepared his re-
ply with care. feeling he had done his
best, which was all the bar could ex-
pect of him. His toast was the tenth
in line. and the postmaster had pro-
nounced in distinct tones the title of
the toast, and added that Mr.. Fleming
Du Bignon, of Georgia. would reply.
The lawyer rose slowly to his feet,
glancing as he did so down the long
double line of expectant, polite, up
turned faces, smiling at him, encour-
aging him 10 proceed.

he remembered every planned gesture.

Ten. Sherman" delightedly broke
in the POSTMASTER, and sherman
"Shermanp' was echoed all down the
table, which saw dozens of men start
to their feet to greet the great soldier
lawyer as he entered the room.
Gen. Sherman had promised to at
tend this convention, but had been de-
tanned by other engagements until
this late hour and his advent was
hailed with burst of welcome as he
advanced down 10 his vacant chair.
Everyone was shaking hands with
him, creating quite a hubbub
When it finally subsidized the toast
master turned again to the young
Georgian and said:
viii Mr.. Du Bignon now proceed
with the toast: The Young Manhood
of the South?' "
The Georgian sat for an instant
dazed. lie was young and the excite
ment breaking into his speech had
"foored" him.
What was he going to do? What was
he going to say? Every line of his
prepared toast had left him, every bit
of his plan of thought had deserted
him To stand there a confirmed
dullard; to be unable to respond to
the toast that involved all his patriot
ism, when that speech was intended to
show the northerners just what the
southerners could do and bel 1t was
humiliating; it was agonizing.
All this, however, did not occupy
the space of time it takes to tell 1t.
1t flashed through his brain like light
ming, and even during the latter part
of these thoughts he was rising me-
chemically to his feet.
He stood still for second aud saw
Gen. Sherman's face looking at him
with interest. The silence was APP
palling! He felt that every one was
thinking Poor fellow, he doesn't
know what to say
In a quiet tone, in which, however,
he felt culver, he commenced:
Gentlemen, / am confoundedl The
advent of s. noted warrior as Gen.
Sherman has made me forget every
word of my specialize men all
looked anxious and interested-"but
think you can scarcely wonder at my
confusion. Georgians are so used to

Brave Soldier.
Capt. Charles du Moulin, of the One

fright on the part of soldier in his
command quite as singular as that re-
lated by Capt kilmer This man had
often been under fire, with great credit
to himself and comfort to his officers.
One day he, with others, was lying be-
hind ridge on his face awaiting or
ders. 1t was rather trying position,
but all concerned, this man included,
were cracking grim jokes in whispered
tones, when a shot from a rifled gun
struck the ground in front of them,
throwing cloud of dirt and dust into
the air. The missile plowed under
meath, coming out behind the line of
reclining soldiers. but not touching or
hurting anyone. This man, however,
lay quite still, and when one of mis-
comrades crawled to his side to ask
what was the matter it was found that
the poor fellow was dead 1t was an
other case of brave man being scared
to death. Chicago News.

THE WASHERWOMAN.


Her Homemade Finish Is Again Coming
Into Style.
The greed of the steam laundrymen

US back one slept so that the Old-time
washerwoman is once more in great
demand Whether it is the acid, the
steam laundrymen use or, as some say,
the machinery with which they save
time and labor. the fact is that they
wear out fine linen faster than poor
men and women can replenish their
wardrObeS.
The rich of course have their laun-
dry work done at home, where their
linen achieves that dull gloss
which is called homemade finish
and is much sought after by the
ent from the high polish that China
men put on their work. But both kinds
of laundrymen manage to peel the
outer skin off cuffs and collars and to
bring about fearful gaping wounds

CHOLERA MoReus.


Q Health Commissioner's Adviee-Eow to
Prevent Attacks.
The great prevalence of attacks OF
cholera mOrbus or cramps during pro-
tracted hot SPELLS said a health COM
missioner recently, renders timely
little advice about the first treatment
of such cases when they occur.
First send for a doctor But there
are remedies which, adm nistered in
the commencement of the attack. give
relief, and all the physician has to do
IS to give a mild corrective for the
stomach.
Camphor water is the simplest and
most easily used remedy. A teaspoon
full may be taken by an adult and re-
peated every fifteen minutes until the
doctor arrives. Children must be
given smaller doses in proportion to
their age. As water can take up only
a limited quantity of camphor, no harm
is likely to come from the free use of
this remedy.
Paregoric is another simple remedy
and may be used in doses of from one
half 20 one teaspoonful for adults. re-
peated every half hour. The opium
in this preparation makes necessary
more care in its use by those who are
not physicians
In addition to the remedy taken the
sufferer should remain quiet and the
stomach should be given a rest from
food or cold liquids. The latter should
especially be avoided. as intensely ir-
ritatinp to the stomach in its disturbed
condition.
Cholera morbus generally results
from eating unripe fruit or from some
article of food only partly or improper
ly cooked. Many cases. not caused ap-
parently by indiscretion in eating. are
due to sudden changes in temperature,
or exposure to draughts. Persons seek
the coolest spot possible. and the Gus
tomary light clothing worn is no pro-
lection to the stomach and bowels,
which seem especially susceptible to
temperature influences at this session
of the wear. A catarrhal condition is
the result. much the same as one has a
cold in the head in winter time.
As preventives care should be taken
in eating and drinking, draughts
should be avoiden. and the stomach
region should be protected from sud-
den changes from heat to cold. The
services of physician are generally
needed even after the acute stage of
cholera morbus to assist the restora-
ton of the stomach to its normal con.
dition.-Baltimore Sun.

In speaking of them he said they were
caught in the Everglades, where a few
hocks may yet be found in the densest
part of those swamps. Probably some
four or FIVE focks remain, so that they
are rarely seen. The birds are large
for paroquets, being of an emerald
green body, with a yellow neck, while
the upper part of the head is a bright
scarlet. One popularity of these birds
l. that they cluster together like a
swarm of bees. 1t was this habit that
made them such easy victims of the
sportsman-save the term! This pecul-
