GENERAL GoRDoNs NERVE.

In Washington. n few days ago. Cen
eral John b. Gordon told n correspond
ont of the Atlanta Journal the story Of
q remarkable experience he had ten
days ago, Said General Gordon:
81 venture to remark that did some
thing that not one of the youngsters.
including Joe Wheeler, can do. / had
an engagement to deliver my lecture
on the Last Days of the Confederacy.'
in n town near the border of Kansas
and Nebraska. There was Il foot of
snow on the ground and my only way
to reach the place was by sleigh.
I'VE started. and all went well for
several miles. until the driver struck
something. and out ! went with the
sleigh right on top of me. When 1 tried
to rise ! found that my left arm had
been wrenched clear out of the socket
and pulled down to 4 remarkable and
very painful extent. I never thought
OF anything but reaching my engage
ment. where thousand people were
waiting to hear me. BY good fortune
was near the house of q surgeon and
in a few minutes after the accident he
was repairing the damage. While he
was doing that I sent for another sleigh
two miles away. 1t came on time and
with such n splendid pair of horses
that l reached my engagement on the
moment.
''rhe rumor of my fall and injuries
had preceded me and | never had Il
more enthusiastic reception in my life.
My arm was pretty sore. but ] never
missed an engagement in that snow
bound region. How many young men
do you know who could do that?"

THE ANGEL OF cowGArE
MAX O'Rell. in the North American
I,cVioWl

There died, in Edinburgh. n few years
ago. cheerful, appy-looking old wo-
man who sold sweets to the children
of the Cowgatc. that wrctched, soualid
spot of the Scottish capital. Her whole
stock was worth about u couple OF shil-
lingS. ana she once told me that when
at the end of the day she had made
SIX or eight pence profit. she was quite
satisfied. Alas, there are many chill
dren in the Cowgate who never felt
in the hollow of their hands n half
penny or even Il farthing and who,
on beholding the old woman's basket
full OF shiny white, pink and rose can
dies. would throw a side glance of envy
and pass on, sad and detected, or stop
few seconds. with their fingers in
their mouths. Seldom was n child who
could not afford to pay her allowed to
pass that basket without receiving one
for love. One day, coming out of
school. the children looked for the old
woman in vain. She was dead AT her
funeral. hundreds of Darefooted little
boys and girls in rags followed their
departed friend down the CowgIte
When that old woman arrived at the
gates of Heaven there were more an
throne of the Almighty than there
would be for the arrival OF all the
dukes in Christendom. If there are So
cial sets in Heaven, I guess that old
woman is leader OF fashion among
the four hundred Thereon my idea of
Heaven is altogether wrong.

4 Husbands Method of Recovering "A
Runaway Wife.

Allentown. Jan. "a few days ago

TO this city. lie made some inquiries
and when he learned that she was in
Allentown he said he would make no
further search for her, as he was sat
is.ied thai she had been bewitchcd. or
she would never have deserted him.
Now that he knew where she was he
would go home. take pair of her
stockings and boil them a whole day
This would break the spell under which
She was laboring and cause her such
uneasiness that she would gladly re-
turn home. In fact, the boiling of the
stockings would force her to return
and also innict great pain upon the
individual who bewitched her. This
was by no means an isolated case OF
the kind, for the belief in witches and
witchcraft is still strong among the
people OF Lehigh and Berks counties
Here is n case that came under the
observation of the writer not long ago.
y tenant of a farmer in BeriS had u
2-year- old child who had not yet be-
gun 10 teeth. The parents consulted
their neghborS as to what could be the
matter and concluded that the child
had been bcwitched. An old and some
what eccentric woman in the neighbour
hood who was not Oh good terms with
the parents of the child was at once
suspected.
y witch doctor was called in. He
agreed with the parents as to the guilt
OF the old woman and promised to
work Il charm which in a short time
would cause the witch 10 have sore
gums. and then the teeth of the child
would appear. The witch doctor re-
fused. to explain the process saying
that to do SO would destroy its efiicien>

we ought not to be inconsistent. That
we could not afford to be inconsistent.
We could not. therefore, afford to take

regarded as different The Philippines,
