Touching StorY Of q
Slaves Devotion to
His Master.

Gen. Toombs addressed the court and
jury At the last. and after fully discuss
ing the testimony Of the eye-witnesses
he concluded thss:
Your honor, please, and gentlemen
Of the jury. A few years ago my only
brother fell wounded on the battlefield
Of Gettysburg. He lay there bleeding
to death, with no friendly hand to help
him. Shot and shell. the fierce. fiery
stream of death, were sweeping the
earth about him. No friend could go
to him, no surgeon dared approach
him. The singing Of bullets and the
wild music Of the shells was to be his
only requiem. My brother had a body
servant, a negro man, who waited on
him in camp. The negro saw his mas
ter's danger and straight out into the
sheet Of battle and fame and death he
went. A cannon shot tore the flesh
from his breast, but on he went, and,
gathering my brother in his arms. the
blood of the man mingling with the
blood of the master, bore him to safety
and life. Jim, open your collarl"
And the jury saw on Jim's breast
long, jagged scars where the shell had
ripped its way.
Continuing Gen. Toombs said. "Jim's
skin may be black-he may be a ne
gro; but the man who would do what
Jim did for my brother has a soul too
white ever to have killed a man ex-
cept in defense of his own life"
Jim was cleared.

Empress of
Austria.

hid the pearls securely in a assure n
der the surface of the water and left
them. There the pearls we're when
the Empress met her sudden and trag-
ic death.
Father Ambrosius fell dead in the
c~loister when told of the death of his
mistress. The pearls, SO the story
tellers say, await a lucky finder. some
where along the rugged coast, and are
likely to be the Capt. Kdd's treasure
of Corfu.
Taking the story for what it is
worth, the fact remains that there are
on record many curious instances in
which pearls apparently sympathized
with the health and mood of their
wearers. Pearls. too, often lose their
color and lustre for no perceptible rea
son, and in many cases never regain
their beauty.
All through the Orient there are
jewelers. famous as doctors of sick
pearls, and to certain of these doctors
pearls of great value are frequently
sent by the native rulers and mer-
chants. The salt water treatment is
n of the most common methods of
dealing with a sick pearl; so if Eliza
beth's necklace is by any chance
where Corfu gossip locates it, it's
pearls may be finding healing while
they await discovery.

An idea of the abundance of hotel
accommodations in New York may be
had from the statement of the presi-

there that New York has become the
greatest hotel center in the world. It
has more hotels than London, Paris
and Berlin combined. There are
twice as many hotels In New York to-

1t happens to many a man and woman
that in the absorbing demands of business
or professional life, of home duties or the
claims oi society there is a gradual failure
of moral purpose or religious convictions,
and while the life grows ii one direction
it as surely degenerates in another. We
can cultivate any part of our natures we
will, Just as the gardener or horticulturlst
by selecting certain qualities gradually de-
velops new kind of potato or corn, a new
variety of strawberry or apple. We can
make ourselves new kinds of men and wom-
en- by giving attention to business or pleas
ure, books or music, athletics or religion.
Spiritual things are not of interest to US
where we do not cultivate Them just as
business becomes dull if we do not give at
tention to it and try to make it interest
ing. As no man can be strong unless he
takes much exercise, so no man can be de-
vout who does not wrestle with God in
