A War Incident.
Winston Journal

Amongst the brave soldiers pro-
duced by the late war there was
| none Drawer OF more gallant than
Major A. I'll. Belo, Salem man,
and now the editor and owner of
The Galveston and Dallas News.
In the same command to which
Major Belo belonged there was a
tall, magnificent young captain
with the eye of an eagle and flow
ing hair that gave the true leon
Inc appearance to the massive
head. He was Captain Cousins,
and his GOODNESS and bravery in
battle was proverbial in the army.
For some reasonor other Captain
Cousins considered himself badly
treated by Major Belo, and in his
fiery and impetuous manner re-
marked to the major that his rank
alone protected him. Major Belo
unbuckled his sword and laying
it aside informed the captain that
he asked not that of rank which
he could do for himself. A meet
ing was instantly arranged and
the combatants faced each other
at a few PAGES with army rifles.
At the first fire Major Belo was I'M
injured while his bullet grazed
Capt. Cousins neck drawing the
blood. While the guns were being
reloaded long rolling fire was
heard on the right. 1t was an at
tack on the Confederate lines.
Captain Cousins listened for mo-
ment and an angelic smile wreath
ed his face and twinkle of humor
came into his eye as he turned to
his antagonist and said: "Maior
don't you think there are enough
Yankees to shoot without practi-
eng on each other?" Major Belo
grasped his hand and it is unnec-
essary to say that ended the duel.
The two men became fast frie nds
and that friendship endures to
this day. After the war Captain
Cousins married rich widow and
now has large printing estab-
llshment just out of Richmond,
while Major Belo went to Texas
and has grown rich and famous
as the editor and owner of the
greatest papers in the Lone Star
State.

A Word to Women.
New York Tribune.

If women would only keep them
selves rs dainty and attractively
gowned after marriage us when
they were sweethearts they would
reteiin their husbands attentions
and devotions until the end of the
chapter. A man likes for his wife
to remind him of his sweetheart,
and abe should strive to. make her.
self just rs winsome and charming
as possible.
This is the advice of an attrct-
tive woman, who though the
mother of grown daughter, is
frequently taken for the young
woman's older sister. The mother
does not gown herself in an excess
sively youthful fashion, either,
but she il rs careful of her toilet
now rs when she was the belle of
her maidenhood home.

COMMERCE ON WHEELS.
A Train of Cars to Traverse the S. A. L.
Loaded With Exhibits

4
For some time Mr.. John T. Pat
rick, Chief Industrial Agent of the
Seaboard Air Line, has been ar
ranging train of cars loaded with
a variety of industrial features
and interesting exhibits for free
exposition at every station on the
Scaboard Air Line fram Portsmouth
to Atlanta by which method he
hopes to not only interest, but in
struct the people along the line on
variety of topics.
Mr.. Patrick explains his plan:
Dear Sir: We want the people
along our line of road to see and
use every kind of household and
farm convenience and labor saw
ing implement, and to learn how
to save the little things-fruit,
vegetables, milk, and all kinds of
farm products, and to this end we
are fitting up a train of exhibit
cars, and employing expert farm
ers, dairymen, Gamers, etc., and
will make exhibits at the one hun
dred and fifty stations on our
road from Norfolk, Va, to At
lanta, Ga. We exhibit in the day
at Il town and our train of exhibit
cars are to move during the night
to another station. We advertise
extensively, and have the people
for miles back in the country to
come in to see the exhibits and
learn from our experts how to save
the products of the farm. We
will be glad to have you contrib
ute to our exhibit something that
will be of use to the people.
you want to exhibit and
bring to the notice of the people
in this section of the Union, we
will carry over our line free of
cost, and if it is necessary for you
to send some one to explain your
we will furnish them with
free Transportation, if your people
can opafate=sand explain we, will
have them do so without cost to
yon. No such practical way of
getting the people acquainted with
the labor saving implements and
devices was ever inaugurated by a
strong, substantial concern like
the Seaboard Air Line Railroad
with plenty of money to do what
they undertake. We want to
start about 10th to 18th of June
and we would like to have ship
ments made at once to address of
Seaboard Air Line, Pine Bluff, N. |
o., so that they can be provided
for and arranged in our exhibit
cars. Any suggestions you can
make will be highly appreciated
by,

Remarkable Criminal Case in Chicsyn.
Baltimore Sun

baltimore sun.
A remarkable criminal case
which Is now engaging the atten-
ton OF the Chicago police recalls
Sam Weller's story of the man
who disappeared and nothing was
heard about him until his wife
found a button in a sausage she
had for breakfast and recognized
1T as one which had been on her
husbands coat. The unfortunate
man had fallen into a sausage
mill and had been ground into
sausage. In the Chicago case it is
the wife of the sausage-maker who
has disappeared. On May 1st,
Adolph l.. Luetgert, Chicago
sausage-maker, left home with his
wife. The man spent the night.
or says he did, at the sausage fac
tory. The wife has not been heard
from. The man gives no satisfac-
tory account of her. His DECLARE
tons have been conflicting and
he says he does not know where
the woman is, but processes to be-
lleve that she has gone to Ger
many, her former home. The DO
lice say they can prove the woman
was with her husband in the mill
for several hours. They also say
they found two gold rings, which
she wore, III one of the watts of the
mill, together with some frap-
ments OF goods which they be-
lleve was her dress. Their the

pared powerful acid, which de-
stroyed the body of the woman.
not leaving even the fragment of
a bone. This theory is regarded
as incredible. An acid strong
enough to destroy everything else
would not have left any portion
OF cotton or wool fabric, and il is
not shown where he got so large a
quantity of SO powerful an acid
Then the question is raised What
Kind of acid was it? Sulpb,ric
acid would have DESTROYED every
yestlge of the body and clothes
1t would also have eaten into the
sides OF the vat unless they were
OF glass or protected by oil in some
way not likely to occur to any but
asclentific man or one in the habit
OF using this powerful acid. AL
together the police theory has no
KIND of probability: 1t is true
that the destruction of the BODY
or murdered person is not a new
device. In this connection the
celebrated Webster-Pa case
VIII be remembered. In that case
the murderer was physician and
succeeded in destroying every part
OF the dead body except the teeth
They defied destruction. and bv
them the crime was revealed and
the murderer punished. Some
SAD ne deserved punishment for
not being a good enough chemist
TO destroy the teeth. Cases like
TINS one IN Chicago always excite
public interest.

A sweeping Indictment of the People.

Wv lol h evening Post.
Massachusetts, like so MANY
other States, suffers from the
growing tendency of the lawma-
kers to extravaganza in appropria-
lions, and the Boston Herald at
tributes the change in the State
House largely to corresponding
change in public sentiment. There
was time in the Bay State when
economy was popular, when
'Watch-dogs of the Treasury"
were applauded by the people.
when the Legislator who promoted
extravaganza was defeated at the
polls for his offense. The trouble
now is that the taxpayers do not
seem to care If the men whom
they send to Boston are reckless
with the public money, and the
lawmaker who seeks to keen down
expenditure gains nothing by his
hdellty to the public interest. All
this IS true not only of NIassachu-
setts, bat of other State Legisla-
lures and of Congress. Economy
seems to be 'played out,'' and
the chief reason is because the peo-
pie themselves no longer demand
it.

The Radicals DemoraIized.
Wilmington Messenger.

That is very cheering news about
North Carolina that comes by the
way of Washington, D. G. A spe-
cial to the Richmond Dispatch Of
the 5th inst. is bracing. 1t is to
the effect that the old rotten, cor
rupt, vicious devilish Radical
thing in this State is literally
going to pieces-that it is thor
oughly demoralized. Oh, that it
may be SO. How long! how long!
It was mean and low in 186S-70..
It is if possible more devilish and
venal now. 1t is a positive stencil
in any decent white mans nos
trlls. The fellows in control have
gone to work as if bereft of reason
as well as feeling. They have
hardly struck a blow that was not
aimed at the good of the State
it's peace it's safety, its prosperity.
Every act almost has been wickedly
inspired and Internally consum-
mated. There is no language elias
tic enough to reach it's depths of
depravity or strong enough to en-
phasize is blunders and shortcom-
lngs. To see the depravity of the
old, rotten hulk look at this city
and then hold your nose. The
dispatch from Washington says:
According to visiting North
Carolina Republicans, the Reeub-
lican party in that State has
reached the stage of disintegrata-
ton. The disposition of the Raj
eigh and Charlotte postoffices
seems to have brought about the
elimination. Jim Young, 'sa-
bic statesman, of unsavory repu-
tation, claims a mortgage on the
Raleigh Office, on account of SER
vices rendered in the last Senate
rial election in the State. He
was a member of the Legislature,
and voted for Pritchard with the
distinct assurance, he says, of the
appointment of postmaster at
Raleigh. He is now an adherent of
the Russell tactiena of the party,
and therein lies the explanation
of his failure to foreclose his mort
gage. After talking to Senator
Pritchard and Chairman Holton,
he left for Raleigh, with the I'M
derstanding that he is mot in it,
He threatens to get even with the
Washington ring -
The dispatch refers to the Char
lotte postoffice, to the the eastern
marshalship and so on. These
are symptoms of disease. The
whole body is sick and decaying,
far gone in decomposition. New
Bern, Wilmington, Goldsboro, the
insane asylams and other humane
institutions-the whole admins
tratlon, III fact, including whole
sale pardonings of black criminals
IN the penitentary who are Radicals
also,-these as well as the many
bad laws framed and biunders de-
tected, are crying oft in mighty
voice against the rascals and the
people are uniting more and more
to clean up the vicious, detestable
thing at any cost.
