derstood and properly enforced. number OF
the articles OF that law. in fact. many Of them
are merely repetitions Of the old law already

VanitY's CatastrOnhc.

1.-THE vanity that leads certain people
to have diamonds set in the gold filling
of their teeth led to Il rather unusual
catastrophe on the part of Of the
devOtees Of the new fad" said Il New
York dentist.
There was an actress who cOurted
notorlety. So it was published in the
papers that she had expensive dia-
monds set in her pearly grinders. The
diamonds. you know. are placed in the
gold setting. and then the setting is
placed ir the defective tooth. | know
Il Western man who spent 81 goo on dia-
monis which were placed to such igno-
bic uses.
'tne night the apartments of the ac-
tress in question were burglarizcd. The
men helped themselves to all the jewels
they could find. and then IN of the
masked men said to the affrighted lady:
Now. madam. open your mouth
'She asked them what they wanted.
The d:amo2ds in your teeth. We
read about 'em in the Breeze
"Oh. that was only Il story on my
managers part
We'll. they say anything you read
in the Breeze is So
> she displayed her pcarly teeth.
and there. sure enough. were the dia-
monds. One,of the burglars coOlly took
out Il little dental saw and sawed off
three teeth. At least that's the story
that is being told. The actress didn't
advertise the loss of the teeth, she was
so chagrined and Inundated. Besides.
1t wouldn't do. you know. to let the
public learn that those pearly orla-
ments had been mutilated and replaced
with porcelain tops this time. If the fad
continues ! look TO sec people held up
regularly for their teeth."-Dctroit Free

Sheridan in Battle.

Gen. Horace Porter, in his Cam.
paigning with Grant in the Century
magazine. says Of Sheridan at Apo
mattox: No n could look at Sheridan
ut such a moment without a sentiment
of undisguised admiration. In this
campaign, as%in others. he had shown
himself possessed of military traits OF
the highest~order. Bold in conception,
self.reliant. demonstrating by his acts
that much danger makes great hearts
most -reSOlute,' fertile in resources,
combining the restlessness of a Hot
spur with the patience Of a Fabius, it is
no wonder that he should have been
looked upon as the wizard of the bat

with the ingenuity of n Hannibal, the
dash Of Il Murat, the courage of a Ney,
the magnetism of his presence reused
his troops to deeds of individual hero
ism, and his uncomfortable columns
rushed to victory with all the conf
dence of Caesars Tenth Legion. Wher-
eve blows fell thickest, there was his
crest. Despite the valor of the defense,
opposing ranks went down before the
fierceness of his onsets. never to rise
again: and he would not pause till the
folds of his banner waved above the
strongholds he had wreSted from the
foe. Brave Sheridan. l can almost
see him now: his silent clay again
%guickened into life, once more riding
'~'lsienzi' through a fire of hell, leapins
opposing earthworks at a single bound,

A Missionary Medicine.

Cleanliness begins within. II a man
isn't clean inside. he is far from Goa.i-
ness. A constipated sinner is n stencil IN
the ~nostrils of the Deity. A man whose
food sours in his stomach, and whose liver
is leaden. can't help looking at the world
hatefully with jaundiced eye, and con-
juring up evil thoughts in his tortured
brain. Cleanliness of person begets clean
illness of thought. Cascarets, Candy Ca
thartic are the missionary medicine which
puriies mems bodies and minds. Pure,
fragrant. palatable. mild and positive,
they clean out the intestinal canal. stimu-
late the liver and strengthen the bowels.
Then n mar enjoys again q feeling Of char
ity and brotherly love for his fellows and
recommends others to take Cascarets and
be rs happy as he.

a younger brigadier was given com.
mand of a division, jumping Patterson,
the. ranking officer. Patterson was a
proud: spirited gentleman, and the
slight. .preyed upon his mind. He
seemed to lose interest in his work. No
one could get him into conversation for
more titan a minute or two: He: would
go Off by. himself and look like one
dazed," as-1f In great trouble. Orders
came for our brigade to move at 3
o'clock the next morning. While the
troops were falling in. to move out, a
pistol shot was heard in the tent of the
general. A member of his staff, fear
ing an accident had happened. went to
his tent, looked in,. aid there, on his
bunk. was. the general, still holding in
his right hand IA revolver, from which
one. charge had been shot, and in his
head was the track of the bullet. The
general was dead. He could withstand
the shock of IA bullet in his flesh: he
could be'dafeated by the enemy: but he
could not stand up under the shock Of
humiliation which the slight conveyed.
Little attention was paid to the event
at. the time: but now it furnishes ample
food for reflection. Poor Frank Pat

for Il few days, and finding it too heavy
a burden laid it down with a revolver.

Grnt's Aversion tn I.iars.

Gen. Horace Porter. writing Of Gen.
Grant in the Century, dwells upon
Grants aversion to liars. He quotes
Gen. Rawlins as saying, The General
always likes to tell an anecdote that
points a moral on the subject Of lying.
He hates only two kinds OF people, lars
and towards. He has no patience with
them, and never fails to show his aver
sion for them"
Gen. ingalls, added, "Such traits are
so foreign to his own nature that it is
not surprising that he should not toll
crate them in others. As man and boy
he has always been the most absolutely
truthful person in the whole range Of
my acquaintance. l never knew him to
run into the slightest exaggeration, or
to borrow from his Imagination in re-
lating an occurrence"
One Of the party remarked. II was
amused one day to hear an officer say
that the General was 'ted;ously truth.
fu..' He meant, he said, that the Gen.
eral, in mentioning something that had
taken place, won.d direct his ind so
earnestly ITO stating unimportant de-
tails with entire accuracy that he would
mar the interest of the story.
"For instance, after returning from a
walk around camp he would say, I
was. told. so and so about the wounded
by DR.. - while we We're talking this
morning inside of his tent and a half
hour afterward he would take the trou-
bic to come back and say, as il it were
a matter of the greatest Importance, 4
was mistaken when l told you that my
conversation with DR.. - occurred IN
side. his tent: that was not correct: II
took pace while we We're standing in
front bf his tent"

His Narrow Escape.

Few. except old veterans, know how
nearly JEFF Davis came to being tried
by a court martial, in Georgia. soon
after his capture. Maj. Gen. Wilson,
commanding the cavalry corps, by
members Of which Davis was made
prisoner, had convened a court OF
which Col. G. G. Thomson, OF the
Seventy-second Indiana, now a resi-.
dent OF Lafayette, was made president,
and while the judge advocate was
looking around for ink and paper to
record, the proceedings, a telegram
from the War Department was receiv-
ed ordering Davis to be SEN to Wash
ington. Soldiers who were on the
scene say the war spirit was fur above
'fever-heat just then, and il the Wash
ington dispatch had been delayed
about forty eight hours, the Govern
ment would have been saved a large
expense and much worry In deciding
what course should be pursued toward

BARNEY BARNATO,S MANSION.
Sir Edward Sassoon Has Purchased
 It and Will Make Alterations.

London, Oct 29.-Sir Edward Sas- soon, the we'll known banker, has pur- chased the late Barney Barnto's al- most completed mansion in Park lane. He is stripping the building of its ostentatious decorations. The four figures at the corners, which were happily christened petrified share holders, have been taken away, : and as far as possible every bit of outside carving will be removed, although in some cases the carving is so we'll and deeply done that it will necessi- tate the removing of whole pieces of stone.
 The inside alterations will be no less of a condemnatory kind. The en- trance will be on Great Stanhope street instead of Park lane. The whole ground floor will be kept for enter taining, as it is overlooked by pass CTS by. The drawing rooms and even the dining room will be upstairs.

started they will control themselves. The colonies will choose 'heir own ad- ministrative officers, and every man will be the equal of every other. The men who will form the colony at the start believe that such movement is their only salvation. It is not ex- pected, therefore, that there will be the least difficulty in maintaining dis cipline among them. Every man will be expected to do his duty, and his labor will have the reward to which it is justly entitled No idlers will be tolerated in the community. Any man who is willing to work vii be warmly welcomed. Those who are not will be informed that they are not wanted among us.''
