The Fate of the Confederate Seal.

The result of the last Confederate
council of war held at Abbeville, South
Carolina, in May, 1S65,was soon known
all over Abbeville, and the generals
and the secretary Of war were kept
busy for hours signing honorable dis
charges for the tired soldiers, who i'm
mediately applied for Them writes
Mrs. Thaddeus Horton, in the October
Ladies' Home Journal. During the
evening Mr.. Benjamin asked for a
Ratchet, and with it he defaced the
Confederate seal. About twelve o'clock
the same night the Confederate party
continued their retreat in the direc-
ton Of Washington, Ca, and while
crossing the Savannah River in the
darkness some one suggested that the
seal be thrown overheard. This idea
was at once approved, and when the
boat reached mid-stream it was drop
ped with dull splash into the sandy
river bed of that beautiful Southern
water course, where to this day, it's
mission all fulfilled, it serenely rests"

walked her way up the avenue with

could say. But she was evidently
some one of importance. She carried
herself with the airs that appertai1

flannel waist, polka-dotted with red.

HANGED BY IA WOMAN
A MINER PAYS PENALTY FOR
MURDER.
Tried by Husband and VITO In ! Lonely
Alaskan Cabin and Duly Sentenced to
Die-Makes . Confession strange Ex-
igencics of Lonely Life.
ALASKA Letter.l.

Near Skaguay, Alaska, the strange
exigencies of life in an isolated mining
region compelled woman to act as
judge and executioner in murder
case. With her own hands Mrs. Hans
Nelson put the rope around the neck
Of the man whom she had taken pris.
oner. and after she had read few
verses from the Scriptures she swung
the rope over the limb of tree. Then
her husband pulled on 1t until the
moose frightened, and the wretched
man, who was paying the extreme pen
atty for his crime was strangled to
death.
The execution took place at Latuya
bay. 100 miles from Skaguay, where
Mr.. and Mrs. Hans Nelson had gone
to seek their fortunes. Associated
with them were Michael DENIM and
two other miners. The men were mod
erately successful in their search for
gold, and they had obtained several
thousand dollars when the end of the
season came. There was much discus
sion concerning how to spend the win
ter, and one morning, just a year ago,
a council was held at the breakfast
table. DENIM was not present, but
from his bunk in the room near by he
heard his partners make plans for the
spending of their money
One of the men made some laughing
remark about how he meant to cut a
dashing figure in San Francisco, when
suddenly DENIM entered, with shot
gun in hand. Without saying word,
he took careful aim and fired at one of
the miners. The man fell, and DENIM
turned his gun upon the miner who
sat next to him. The buckshot crashed
through the mans skull, and he fell
beside his dead comrade. Both barrels
being emptied, DENIM began to load
his gun again, but Mrs. Nelson sprang
at him, catching him by the throat.
With a strength born Of desperation,
she pushed the murderer back against
the wall of the cabin, and called to her
husband to help her overpower him.
Nelson quickly went to her aid, and,
wrestling the shotgun from Dennin's
hand, he beat the murderer over the
head until the man fell bleeding and
unconscious.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson bound their
prisoner and threw him into the bunk
he had left not ten minutes before COM
hitting the dreadful crime. Then they
examined the two bodies that lay upon
the floor. 1t was not possible to sum-
mon help. for they were miles away
from any other camping place. It was
agreed that the bodies had to be
buried, and the brave woman helped
her husband prepare them for inter-
ment. Then the miner and his wife
went out on the beach and spent the
morning digging grave. They took

Love Made in Germany.

Elopements are never heard Of in
Germany, and yet there is no such
thing as getting married there without
the consent of the parents. Certain
prescribed forms must be gone through
or the marriage is null and void. When
a girl has arrived at what is considered
a manageable age, her parents make
point of inviting young men to the
house, and usually two or three are
invited at the same time, SO that the
attention may not seem too pointed,
says the Philadelphia Times.
No young man, however, is ever in
vited to the house until after he has
called at least once, and thus signified
his wish to have social intercourse
with the family. II he takes to cali
ing on several occasions in rather close
succession it is taken for granted that
he has Intentions" and he may be
questioned concerning them.
In Germany the man must be at
least Is years old before he can make
a proposal, and when it is made and
accepted the proposal is speedily fol-
lowed by betrothal This generally
takes place privately, shortly after
which the father of the bride, as she
is then called, gives a dinner or supper
to the most intimate friends on both
sides, when the fact is declared, and
naturally. afterward becomes matter
of public knowledge.

Origin Of .DIxie,s Land"

The original song, "Dixie's Land"
was composed in 1859 by Daniel En-
NETT as "walk-around'' for Bryant's
Ministries. Mr.. Emmett frequently
heard the performers in circus make
the remark. Il wish l was in Dixie y
as soon as the northern climate began
to be too severe for the tent life which
they followed. The expression sug-
gested the song. "Dixie's Land" 1t
made hit at once in New York. and
was speedily carried to all parts of the
Union by numerous bands of wander
ing minstrels In the fall of 1860 Mrs.
John Wood sang it in New Orleans in
the burlesque of "Pocahontas, and be-
fore week had passed the whole city
had taken it up. A New Orleans pub
Usher saw possibilities in the music,
and without the authority of the COM
poser had the air harmonized and re-
arranged, issuing it with words en-
bodying the strong southern feeling
then existing in New Orleans

styles in Dress Shoes.

Dress boots and shoes are made in
the extreme of the Louis XIV. style.
with very high heels and bullying i'm
steps. They are in laughable contrast
to the common sense walking boot
that fashionable women also affect for
certain occasions. There is an effort
to introduce bronze kid both for boots
and slippers. Colored cloth tops are
also fashionable and among the colors
chosen for this purpose are bright
green and red. Boots OF black velvet.
with extrayagant heels and trifle Of
gold embroidery on the toes, are
among the seasons extravagances.
Judging from what the bootmakers
have to show, the French woman is
tired of her brief experiences of Eng
fish styles in foot gear, and is return
ing to her own coquettish tastes in
this direction.

turns using the shovel, and together
they carried the bodies to the grave.
The woman said prayer, and when
ly mound she went back into the cabin
that bore the horrible traces of muir
der. First she ministered to the man
who had deliberately taken the lives
of his comrades. Nelson refused to
touch the prisoner, because he said he
could not trust himself in the murder
er's presence. It was a difficult task
to wash the blood away from the
mans head and to feed him as he lay,
bound, and when this duty had been
performed she still had much to do in
finishing her husbands labor of remov-
Ing the blood stains from the walls
and floors and furniture.
1t was not until the sun had set on
the day of horror that the woman gave
up to her feelings. Then she cried,
and the night brought her no rest, for
she and her husband were confronted
with the question Of what to do with
their prisoner. This problem harassed
them for fortnight. Every day Mr.
and Mrs. Nelson took turns guarding
the prisoner. With the mans own
shotgun leveled at his head, they sat
and watched him as he lay, bound
hand and foot For an hour each
morning they led him out of doors for
little exercise, and then both did
guard duty. One day DENIM confessed
| tho+ ha hod meant fo It'll tho rbo1o
party and then take all the gold that
had been found. He had planned how
he would tell the story that Indians
! had murdered his partners. It was
Mrs. Nelson's quick action that had
surprised him and saved her life and
| that of her husband.
For ten days the Nelson's waited in
the hope that steamer would put in
1 at the little .harbor. Once vessel
headed their way, and then changed
its course. Several Siwash Indians ap
peared at the camp, but when they
found out why DENIM was bound they
fled in terror. Both Nelson and his
wife began to succumb to the nervous
strain as the days passed and it be-
came probable that they would have
to spend the winter In camp. The
prisoner suffered intensely from his
confinement. and he begged to bs
either killed or set at liberty. Otter
he pleaded earnestly to be allowed tt
go into the wilds to spend the re.
mainder of his life, and it became
necessary to dispose of him in some
way. It was then that Mr.. and Mrs
Nelson decided to give him trial
Standing before Dennin's bunk. they
solemnly administered the oath and
put him on the witness stand by brac-
ing him up In bed. In response to the
questions put to him by Mrs. Nelson
