A TRlFLE TOO MUCH.
How an Old Darky's Sympathy Was o..
feelinsly Imposed Upon.


General Nichols Of Louisiana COM
manded brigade Of infantry during
the valley campaign in Virginia which
so irnmortalized the name Of Stonewall
jackson. Ia one Of the three famous
victories over Banks, Miloy and Shields,
says the Nashville American. the Louisi-
ana brigade bore conspicuous part,
ard its gallant Commando: ;s;as carried
from the field mortally woEnaed, as
every one supposed, but good nursing
and skillful surgery saved the life Of
Che general He left a leg and an arm
On the battlefield and lost one Of his
eyes. He wears an artificial leg on one
side of his body and an arm On the op-
posite. The pluck which enabled him
to Withstand these terrible wounds, and
to which he is indebted for his life,
perhaps, more than to any other cause,
sticks to him yet, and he is one Of the
most jovial Of men, enjoying good
joke as much as anybody. He tells this
on himself:
When cenvassing for. governor, he
was invited by lady who knew Of his
loss of limbs to make her house his
home, and he accepted She ordered he1
manseryant, who knew nothing Of the
generals misfortune, to see that he was
comfortably put TO bed The darky felt
proud of the honor Of serving Gistin-
guished general ard the next governor,
and the general was inclined to be COM
mrnicatiye, which delighted the negro
very much and made him feel at home
with his guest. When he took the gen.
erals arm of AID laid it on the table,
he commenced to express great SYM
pathy, saying:
'sIt sho' is bad Cor man to lose he
arm dat erway!. An de Yankees done
dis did dey?'
When the general told him to take
his leg OF, the negro thought he was
joking, bot went at it in c bus;nesslike
way, thouG; he,was almost ready to
shed tears Of sympathy this time. Plac-
ing the leg On tie table by the side Of
the arm and looking at tho general, he
said:
"Umph! Leg OF en- one side an arm
off on t'othor Dat is too Lad, to cut a
man up in dat sort o. way
The general saw the opportunity for
little fun had come, SO, leaning his
body forward, said:
Gone, now, take my head off. y
But the negro was gone.

interesting Facts About the Genesis Of
Spools and Shoe Pegs.

'Oxford county, Me-, turns out near
ly all the spools on which the sewing
thread Of this country is wound, " said
wholesale dealer in such articles to
the writer The spools are made from
white birch timber, and they are pro-
duced by the million in Oxford county.
There are many other parts of western
Maine, also, where the industry is I'M
portaat. There are numerous sawmills
in that part Of the state which are kept
busy all tie year round saving white
birch logs into strips 4 feet long and
from / to inches vide and CT the same
thickness. These strips are seat to the
spool factories, where they are quickly
worked into spools by the most ingcn-
ious labor saving machinery.
.:The strips CT white birch ere fed H.
to one machine, and they a--:e not touch
ed, in fact, are hardly seen again, until
the spools, al finished for market ex
cept polishing, drop out by the bushel
from another machine several rods away
from where the strips started in The
spools get their gloss by being rapidly
revolved in barrels turned by machln-
cry, the polish resulting from the con-
tact Of the spcols in the barrel
IN the backwoods villages Of Ox-
ford county one sees scarcely any other
industry but spoolneaking, and every
person in the neighborhood is in some
way interested il the business. The fac
tories have been eating into the Maine
birch forests for years, but there still
seems to be enough Of the timber left to
feed the machinery for many years to
come. Hundreds Of thousands Of feet OF
logs are cut and sawed into spool tim
Der annually.
Shoe peg factories arc also en- i'm.
portant branch Of business once pec1l-
lar to Maine, a,hcugh it has Of late
been followed to some extent in other
eastern states and is spreading to The
hard wood forests OF northern Penns:yl-
vania Maple IS used largely in the
manufacture Of shoe pegs. although
white birch is used at sone factories.
Shoe pegs are sold by the bushel and
are worth all the way from rs cents tc

than $4,000 was received by Maine
shoe peg factories last year for goods.
GA curious and profitable business
has grown up in the Maine woods necs
