From Guilford Error
The complaint in an action to recover
balance due for goods, alleged co-partner-
ship between defendant p. and one Eudy,
testator of other defendants, and that the
account was due by the firm at Eudy'
death; defendant p. testified over objec-
ton Of other defendants, as to the part
neIship between himself and Eudy and
that the goods were furnished upon his
(P.'s) order for the Use of the firm;
Held that the testimony was inadmissl-
bic under $50 of The Code and the error
in admitting it was not cured by the
courts instruction to the jury that 1t
was possible error to have admitted the
testimony" and that the statements were
excluded from the consideration of the
jury as against the deceased person but
might be considered only against the PER-

instructed not to consider any part of the

stated that the goods were furnished on

University of Virginia,
August Il, 1889.
Judge Jos. j. Davis:
Dear Sir:-Your letter Of July Goth ask
ing me to repeat for publication the
statement which / made in June last at
Chapel Hill has been received.
1t gives me great pleasure to do so, as
believe by universal consent General Pet
tigrew and his Brigade were among the
brayest OF the braves of that grand old
army of Northern Virginia.
Just before the Artillery fire began,
which preceded the charge on July Bird.
General Lee took position in rear of r..
H. Anderson's Division. From that point
he could see the movements of the left
wing of troops which made the charge.
On perceiving that the left Brigade of
Heth's Division (the Virginia Brigade,
commanded by COL Brockenborough), was
giving way, General Lee ordered me to
guide him to the spot Accompanied by
his personal staff, he galloped rapidly for
ward to the position from which Pickett
had started.
The first man we met of any Of the
commands was wounded Mississippi
captain on litter, who raised himself
on his elbow and cheered the General as
he passed; then other wounded, among
them one man who insisted on grasping
his hand. The next group we came upon
consisted of Pickett and number of his
staff officers at the foot of wooded hill,
little to the left of the point from which
his troops had started on the charge.
The General stopped a moment or two
and spoke to Pickett. who was weeping,
| f6an Ualloned nm the hill
! We next met the gallant Kempcr des,
perately wounded. borne from the field
| on blanket by two of his men, Hating
but moment we rode rapidly to the top
OF the hill which was swept by the
enemy's artillery fire. and there found
Pettigrew wounded and on foot, but still
looking after his men. He said, General
Lee, am responsible for my Brigade, but
not for the Division General Lee
STOPPING from his saddle grasped his hand
warmly and replied. General Pettigrew.

DR. Wilbur S. Crafts, the celebrated

enmity, tells a good story about the
French wines which figure so largely in

country. He says there is an establish
ment in Paris that gives wine baths for
the relatively small sum Of Eve francs

said:

Yes, but not so cheap as all that, "

It was night on the Atlantic. The
moon was shining down in unclouded
brillancy on the still, calm waters, and
myriads OF stars were reflected in their
mysterious. awful depths.
On the deck Of one Of the great Allan
tic liners, homeward bound, sat several
groups OF people. one OF which was com
posed of a man and a woman. She was
half-sitting, half reclining, in q low deck
chair, wen padded with cushions, and
surrounded with delicate wraps. In the
moonlight her face wore an expression
Of almost angelic beauty. as she gazed
upwards at tkc summer skv. and her
eyes seemed to reflect the brilliant light
OF the stars. Wonderful luminous eyes
they were, fringed with long, curling
la-shes; but they wore an expression Of
utter WEAKNESS that was almost pitiful,
and now and again, when she closed
them, the lids seemed to droop heavily,
as though she would fain sleep.
Her white throat was bare, and the
arms that were clasped behind her head

It was best, too, he thought, as he
stood there, meditatively chewing at
the tip of an unlighted cigar and gaz-
ing abstractedly into the half-ight
of the street beyond.
The rhythmical beat of well-timed
footsteps at the lower end of the
warehouse platform, the soft frou-frou
of feminine attire and the rich tones
of a deep masculine voice broke in
upon his abstraction. AS the pair ap-
preached, he heard the woman say:

FIND FEW WOMEN STOWAWAYS.
Rare Cases involving Members Of the
Gentler Sex.

Rare Cases involving Members Of the
Gentler Sex.
Women stowaways are very rare.
On Sept. 8, 1901, one was found on the
Neptune line steamer Ohio, which
sailed that day from Baltimore for
Rotterdam. Capt. Samuel Wilson, who
commanded the Ohio, intended send
ing her back on the pilot boat with
Pilot William Carroll, but as it might
have cost the woman her. life if she
had been forced to take to the boat,
the weather being so severe at the
time, she was allowed to remain.
A woman disguised as man shipped
as "cattleman" on the Johnston
steamer Vedamore several years ago,
when the late Robert Bartlett was in
command. Her sex was discovered
before the ship reached the Bristol
channel, and Capt. Bartlett had her
placed in security until Liverpool was
reached. She smoked cigarettes, play
ed cards and had the record before be-
ing discovered of attending to the cat
tie better than any one of the men
who had shipped to perform the same
duty. 49,:
Recently in New York Louisa Shall
Ter was found among the steerage pas
sengers of the North German Lloyd
steamer Kaiser Wilhelm sder Crosse.
She was not a. stowaway, but mixed
up with the immigrants before the
ship left Bremen" and reached New
York. She said her son was. pas
senger~ on the steamer, and she could
not bear to have him leave without
her, and she had not thet money to
pay her passage. She was allowed to
land by the immigrant officials.
