The square-RuiIt Man.

"War correspondents !" exclaimed
Lord Wolseley. "Some Of them are
desperately brave, while others are
anything but heroes. The majority, I
think, do their duty well, even when
it leads them into tight places. By
the way, talking of tight places and
war correspondents, l remember an
incident that may interest you. 1t
was at the beginning of the Ashautee
campaign, just after our landing a
square-built little man came up to me
and said, speaking slowly, and with
an unmistakable American accent:
"General, allow me to introduce
myself; am the correspondent Of the
New York Herald. I
"Too busy to attend to him, l cut
him short with what can do for you,
sir?
"He replied, imperturbably, with
the same e1asperating slowness, We'll,
general, I want to be as near you as l
can if there is any fghtin' to be seen.
Captain So-and-So has charge Of
all the arrangements concerning cor
respondents, reioined curtly you
had better see him. And with this
I turned on my heel and went about
my business.
Il saw no more of my correspondent
with the aggravating GOODNESS and
slowness of speech for many a day. l
did not even know whether he was
accompanying the column or not.
Personally speaking, l was only IN
danger once during the whole expedi-
ton. 1t was shortly before we en-
tered Coomossie. ! had pressed for
ward with the advance troops, hoping
to break the last effort at resistance
and have done with the affair, when
the enemy, utilizing the heavy covert,
came down and fairly surrounded us.
For a few minutes the position was
critical, and every man had to fight,
for the enemy's fire was poured in at
close quarters. They pressed upon US
from all sides, dodging from tree to
tree. and continually edging closer,
hoping to get hand to hand. In the
hottest Of it my attention was caught
by man in civilians clothes, who
was some fifteen or twenty yards IN
front of me, and who was completely
surrounded by the advancing savages'
He seemed to pay no heed to the dan
ger he was in, but, kneeling on one
knee, took aim, fired again and again
and | seemed to see that every time
he fired a black man fell. | was fas-
cinated by his danger and coolness
As our main body came up and the
savages were driven back, went for,
ward to see that no harm came to my
civilian friend, who rose just as
reached him. To my astonishment i

York Herald, and he began again IL
the same slow, calm way;

again I interrupted him 'Yor

that you were surrounded?'
"'Well, general, he began again

the niggers in front to pay much at
tention to those behind.
THAT was evidently the simple
truth. Whatever men may say IN the
future about Henry NJ. Stanley, n'

quality. took liking to him on tn,
spot, and we became great friends
nor has anything occurred since to alte
my opinion of him.

Badges of Matrimouy.

Badges Of matrimony were worn by
all other nations, but tabooed by
American women, according to the
Chicago Chronicle. The Germans
wear a little cap or hood, Of which
they are very proud, and "donning
the cap Is a feature of the wedding
day among the peasants Of certain
localities. The Russians are always
seen, even in the hottest weather, with
a thick cloth Of dark hue twisted
about their heads. In New Guinea
the young woman lets her hair hang
bout her shoulders, but when she Is
married this is cut short. Chinese
matrons braid their hair like helmet.
In Wadai the wives color their lips
BY tattooiDg them with the thorns Of
the acacia, then rubbing with iron fl-
ings. In parts Of Africa the married
women perforate the outer edges OF
their ears and lips and sticks rows Of
grass stalks in them, and among a GER
tain Monaghan tribe, the ManEhes'
the women wear suspended from the
ear a little basket full Of cotton, 70
which spindle Is attached. The uni
yersal American wears what shs likes,
regardless whether it be natrOnly OF
not, and the daughters will select ar
ticles suitable only to married women.
