YESTERDAY
The Republicans of Tiitonsvine man
aged to stir themselves up "a little yester-

means proved a success. partly on account
of the weather and the failure to find

have been failure.

The Duke of wellington.

During his campaigns the duke had
acquired a peculiar habit in regard to
sleep. SAYS Gen. Maurice in the Corn
hill Magazine No noise, not the dis
charge of the loudest cannonade or an
explosion, would wake him; but the
most delicate touch, even on his
clothes. reused him instantly. when
reused. there was no moment or semi
somnolence. of eyerubbing or blurred
consciousness as to where he was or
what had happened. Out of the deep
est sleep he was instantly in posses
sion of all his faculties. Now, whether
it was a determination not to yield to
advancing years, or merely the habit
of a lifetime it would be difficult TO
say; but during all the time when ne
was living as a country gentleman at
Strathfleldsaye there was nothing ne
resented so much as the attempt OF any
one in his household or out or II TO
do him any personal service. Num-
bers of the anecdotes turn on this pc
culiarity.
He had had made for him specially
constructed tandem. 1t had two seats
at the back and was completely covered
in, the whole front being of glass. The
reins passed under the glass casing in
front. In this way the duke himself
drove two very fine horses. One day
his second son, Lord Charles Welles-
ley, was sitting with him in this car
riage. The duke, as in later life he
often on various occasions did, fell
fast asleep, still holding the reins. The
spirited horses soon felt the loss of
control. Before long Lord Charles,
anxiously watching the situation, saw
that in another moment the leader
would dash up a steep bank and that
his fathers life and his own would be
| in imminent danger. The risk was too
great to run, though he knew his faith
er too well not to be aware that any
interference with him as the driver of
! the horses would be bitterly resented
| AS quietly as he could do so, he slipped
! his hand over the rein, drew down the
| leader from the bank and saved them
both from catastrophe. anxiously en-
deavoring not to wake his father in do
ing so. 1t was useless, however. Light
as his touch had been, the great duke
was instantly awake and fully alive
to all that had happened. what are
you doing, Charles?" 81 only turned
off the leader. sir, from the bank. He
was just running up it and we should
have been upset" Mind your own
business, Charles; mind your own busi-
ness! was all the thanks he ever re-
| ceived.

An Historic Carnon.

The cannon which fired the last shot
in the last battle that took place dur
ing the civil war may be worth your
while knowing something about,
SAYS the New Orleans Picayune.
Hence. the sale of the eight-inch
columbiad. Lady Sl0comb," which is
advertised to take plnce in Mobile this
month. arouses the interest of the old
soldiers and old soldiers sons, for the
reason that It is generally supposed to
be the gun which fired the last shots
OF the war, or that fired co many dead
ly volleys in the last battle that took
place place during the civil war.
The last engagement, said an old
soldier yesterday, took place at Span
ish Fort. This engagement, OF course,
was not regular battle, and is not per-
haps recorded in history as such, but
It was nevertheless a conflict fierce, and
fire flew that day as never before.

IincoIn's Love Lettej

One of the most remarkrS.e love
letters on record is probably that OF
Mr. Lincoln to Mary Todd, who be-
came his wife, says the New York Ad-
vertiser. 1t is love lette9 without
speaking of love and proposal with
out proposing. 1t is an ingeniuas COM
position and does credit to taa proies-
sion to which Mr.. Lincoln belonged
and might serve as guide to some
ambitious youth who is not cute sure
that the girl he loves loves hha.
my Dear Mary: You mlsi know
that / cannot see or think OF yol with
entire indifference, and yet II may be
that you are mistaken in regard to
what my true feelings toward you are.
II l knew you were not. should not

Ignorance and your bounden duty to

making the the matter as plain as pos
sihle now say you can drop the sub
ject, dismiss your thoughts, If you
ever had any, from me forever, and
leave this letter unanswered without
calling forth one accusing murmur
from me. And l will even go further
ana say that if it will add anything TO
your comfort and peace of mind TO do
so IL is my sincere wish that you
should. Do not understand by this that

This, indeed is the whole question
with me. Nothing would make me
more miserable than to believe you
miserable, nothing more happy than
to know you were so. In what l have
said think cannot be misunderstood
and to make myself understood is the
only object of this letter. II it suits
you best not to answer this. farewell.
A long life and a merry one attend

Fort dnlng lhe last days OF the war
a sufficient force of men to guard the
place, and among the number was tEs
5th battalion of the Washington ar
ttllery, Captain Cuthbert Slocomb in
command. The Lady Slocomb was
brought there, and there fired its last
shots when Wilson's raiders stormed
the place and took it. There the Lady
Slocomb, for a few hours before the
fort was surrendered, belched forth
fire and scattered death like an intelli-
gent being, but to no avail, as the
enemy numbered several times as much
as the garrison.
After the surrender of the fort some
of the members OF Captain Slocomb's
command one night rolled the Lady
Slocomb off the earthen embankment
into a lagoon, or old slush-holo and
buried it, giving as their reason they
did not want the gun to fall into the
hands OF the enemy. 1t was afterward
dug up and carried to Mobile, where II
was purchased by Henry Badger,
prominent confederate of that place,
who had served through the war and
knew of the excellence of the Lady
Slocomb.
The gun was named after the wife
of Captain Cuthbert Slocomb, who
went out in 1862 in charge OF the 5th
battalion of the Washington artillery.
The gun at the battle of Shiloh spat ont
it's first smoke and spread its first
desolation in the ranks of the enemy.
Through all the memorable struggles
of the army of the Tennessee 1t went
and everywhere it gained well-deserYed
renown. It was prettily mounted and
was at that time, as it probably Is now,
a handsome gun.
