lie Struck the Bride.

The colored settlement over in the
toned wedding at noon yesterday, which
might have been pulled off all right to
the lest round but for the sudden burst of
enthusiasm pom the part of the best
man, which came near precipitating q
general riot. The adieus had been said,
and the newly married pair were about
entering a two-mule wagon at the gate
for a trip to the rural villa of the groom,
when the mine was exploded beneath
them. In accordance with the usual GUS
tom on such occasions, the company had
pelted the couple with rice, hominy, and
q general assortment of groceries, when
the ''best man" loped to the front with
the conventional old shoe, which in this
instance happened to be a cast of No. IL
brogan of the brides father and weighed
four pounds net, to say nothing Of a half
pound of dry mud that chung to the heel
and instep. The shoe hurler steadied
himself, and amidst a burst of applause
let fly the token of good luck. His aim
was faultless, the shoe striking the bride
in the burr of the ear and knocking her
senseless. Blood trickled from the
wound, and at the sight of this the groom
became frenzied with rage, and made for
the best mar with a razor. In the gen.
eral tumult the mules took fright and
ran away, and the bridal trip thus came
to q sudden and unexpected halt. A
warrant charging the shoe thrower with
assault and battery upon the bride has
been sworn out, and the next round in
the matrimonial melee will be fought to-
morrow with the justice of the peace as
reforce.-AmericuS Recorder.

Fred chaef1er's fnefive acre orchard,

near st. Louis, lately took a notion to
slide down the hillside and over a preci-
pice. The upper crust Of earth thirteen
feet thick slid completely off, revealing,
however, q deposit of fire clay twenty
feet thick, which is far more valuable
than the recreant orchard. The moral of
this is that what appears at first to be q
misfortune Is really a blessing.
Five years ago John Seimell OF
Hazleton, Penn, felt an obstruction in
his throat which impeded his speech.
Surgical assistance seemed to be useless,
and before long Seimell was completely
deaf and dumb. A few days ago he was
attacked with a fit of coughing, and when
it stopped he was surprised to find that
the obstruction in his throat was gone,
and that he could talk. His recovery OF
both his lost faculties is now complete,
but be is at a loss as to the nature of the
obstruction which disappeared during
his coughing fit.

uUuUlCu.
The next morning, Friday, Novcm-
Der 81, at 10 o'clock, We heard the
drums and a regiment Of infantry
marching down to the Jail, and a wa
gon with a coffin in it was driven up,
and the provost marshal went into the
Jail and brought Davis out. He got
into the wagon and stood up and look
ed around at the Court House, and,
seeing us at the windows, bowed to
us his last farewell. He was dressed
in a dark brown overcoat, with a cape
to it, which had been a blue Federal
coat, such as many of us had captured
and then dyed brown. I note this be-
cause it has been stated that he was
dressed in citizens clothes. | do not
remember exactly, but l think he had
on a gray jacket underneath. He
then sat down upon his coffin, and the
regiment moved off to the suburbs
of the town, where the gallows were
built.
Upon reaching the gallows he got
out of the wagon and took his seat on
a bench under a tree. He asked Capt.
Armstrong how long he had to live.
He replied, ''Fiftcen minutes He
then asked Capt. Armstrong the news.
He told him of the battle of Mission
airy Ridge, and that u army had
been defeated. He expressed much
regret, and said:
"The boys will have to fight without
me-"
Armstrong said: II regret very
much having to do this; l feel that l
would most rather die myself than
to do what I have to- Davis re-
piled:
II do not think hard of you; you
are doing your duty"
Gen. Dodge still had hopes that Da-
Wis would recant when he saw that
death was staring him in the face, and
that he would reveal the name Of the
traitor in his camp. He sent Capt.
Chickasaw, of his staff, to Davis. He
rapidly approached the scaffold, jump
ed from his horse, and went directly
to Davis and asked if it would not be
better for him to speak the name of
the one from whom he had received
the contents of the document found
upon him, adding, 'It is not too late
yet" And then, in his last ex-
tremity, Davis turned upon him and
said:
"If I had a thousand lives I would
lose them all here before / would be-
tray my friends or the confidence of
my informer."
He then requested him to thank Gen.
Dodge for his efforts to save him, but
to repeat that he could not accept the
terms. Turning to the chaplain, he
gave him a few keepsakes to send to
his mother. He then said to the pro-
vost marshal, II am ready ascend
ed the %scaffold, and stepped upon the
trap.
Thus passed away one of the sub
FINEST and noblest characters known
in history, and in future ages his act
will be pointed to as worthy of emula-
ton.

How to Manage Boys.

During tho spring and summer seasons
the police are constantly receiving COM
plants against the irresponsible small
boy. Congregating on the street corners,
making loud noises and playing base ball
are charges received almost daily, and
these complaints give the police more
trouble than do the moreserious violations
of law.
Occasionally complaint is made of the
smashing Of a window, the tearing down
Of houses or of the threatened destruction
of the city. Recently a complaint was
received in which complaint was made
that some boys in Southeast Washington
were setting off fireworks in a vacant
house.
Major Moore says that some Of the com-
plants indicate the probable destruction
of the city, and m morning, when the
question arose of what should be done to
keep down the small boys, hs asked:
"What are we to do with young Amer
lea? Are the police powerless2"

The Beam In TiIIman's Eye.

Few at all acquainted with the dema-
pogic character of Ben Tillman's rec
ord will account to him any particular
credit for his attack upon the sugar
trust in the United States Senate, Fri
day. 1t is easy enough to make such
general charges as Tillman did. There
is widespread impression that at one
time at least the sugar trust eXerted
a pernicious influence upon some of the
members of that body and of course
the fear comes naturally to many that
what has once been done, or is thought
by very many to have been done, is
likely to be done again. From what
we know of the man it seems but nat
ural to suppose Senator Tillman is
taking advantage of that feeling to
make splurge, attract attention to
himself and try to win back some of
the radical support which he appears
to have lost in his own state.
1t is little singular that, just before
Tillman waved his pitchfork aloft in
the Senate chamber, Friday, and vo-
ciferously called upon the Senate to lay
aside the tariff bill and proceed to
purge itself Of all suspicion according
to such methods and with such sum-
mariness as Tillman, himself might
dictate, ex-senator Butler of Tillman's
own state wrote a public letter in
which he openly charged Tillman with
boodling. The charge is not a new
one. In the campaign three years ago
it was alleged that every member of
the whiskey trust was bound to pay by
agreement a rebate of seven cents pei
gallon to all purchasers of one thou
sand or more gallons; that Tillman as
responsible head of the state dispen-
sary system had purchased large guam
titles of whiskey from concern that
was by trust regulations bound to pay
with show of reason that the rebate
was paid and if so Tillman got it OF
the lions. share of it. Butler charges
that Tillman has never explained this
matter except in IAN outburst of coarse
and unseemly passion"
Perhaps after Tillman has purged
the Senate he viii attend to the purg-
ing of himself. He seems to need ii as
much as does the Senate, to say the
