"The negro that stuck his ear in my

This is true story in every detail.
The incident occurred at Edgefeld
Court House in 1873, just as here
narrated. Gen.. NJ G. Butler, ex-
Ge:. Sheppard, and most of others
now living, will vouoh for its accuracy.
Oae reason why it has never been
published is that not until recently
have the white people cared to talk
about their methods Of carrying cleo
tions in the 70's.

PERiLS. OF BRIDGE BUILDING.
Chances Taken by the Men in the Business

"What did you do that for?" che
foreman asked.

c&:ooS cca:ooS to-day, Il saw as fooihardy a
trick as ever came within my expert
enoe. It was noon time and the men
were resting. One fellow went up on
the bluff to get pail Of beer for the
others. lie might have come down
by the somewhat shorter way. We
were just building out from the abut-
ment. Some girders stuck out into
the. air. They led to nowhere, and
their ends were perhaps 80 feet from
the ground. The man ran out on a
12-inch girder, carrying the pail Of
beer in his hand. Near the end there
was tackle hanging from derrick
boom. Evidently, he intended to
slide down the stationary rope, and
the men below all looked up to see
him do it.
when the. man got to the end Of
the girder he could not reach the
tackle. We saw him etEetch for it
and fail to grasp it. He tried again,
and failed again. Then he balanced
himself and slowly stretched his arm
out, balancing all the while-8O feet
in the airl 1t was an extremely deli
cate feat. Out his arm went, and at
last he touched the rope; but he
couldn't hook his finger around it, try
as he would, to draw it to him. He
took rest; then reached again aud
touched the rope-pushed it a little
pushed it again, balancing himself
cleverly. The blook at the end Of the
tackle began to swing back and forth.
With every touch of the mans hand,
its swing was greater. Soon he caught
the rope and drew it in. Then he
picked out the standing fall-which
doesn't move-twined it around his
leg, and came down like flash, hold
ing the beer. out-poising the can, in
fact, on the tips CT his thumb and
fingers. And he didn't spill drop"
For accepting this continuous risk
of death-whioh is no less imminent
on the high buildings-the bridge
builders are paid from 80 to IS cents
an hour. For all the strength and,
nerve and training they possess they
receive, for days work Of eight
houra, not more, than $3.50. That is
at the rate Of 1850 week and (if
they work the year round, which is
doubtfuD $e73.6O for years labor.

London is to have religious daily,
something on the Sheldon lines, as 4
regular institution. A. E. Clarke of
Wimbledon is to be the editor. The pa
per Is to be sold for half penny, and
will be called the New Daily. While
Clarke regards the Sheldon effort with
favor, he thinks the Topeka Capital
falls short Of what religious journal
should be. The object Of the newcOm-
er is prominently set forth in the first
pages, as follows:
''The idea Of this journal is to advo-
cate daily with all fearlessness and
candor return to those first principles
Of our Christian profession from which
we heve SO grossly departed, to pro-
mote mediation, to encourage criticism
and discussion, and to do the utmost
possible to supply good daily with
