Gen. De Gsllifet, the new French
minister of war, who-has excited uni
yersal admiration by his repression Of
unruly army officers, is remarkable for
wearing o silver plate over his stomach
in place of the tissue with which nature
supplied him.
The general was terribly wounded at
the siege Of the Convent of Guadeloupe
during the French expedition to Mex
leo. in 1853. A shell carried away a
large portion Of his stomach.
He explains that his experience as a
sportsman then stood him in good
stead.
He had often noticed how when a
hound was gored at q boar hunt he was
not sacrificed or shot, but his intestines
were replaced and the skin stitched up.
When, therefore, he recovered con-
seiousness he himself describes how he
collected all he could and made his own
way by himself to the ambulance as
rapidly as his shatterd trunk would
allow him to do. His wound was the
object of universal sympathy; his COM
rades fetched snow from the noun
tains so as to keep him at the proper
temperature; the empress herself or
dered him to recover, and he then main
tanned he could not, as man of gal
lantry, refuse to obey the orders Of
such lady. He had to replace what
had been lost by silver substitute.
Many other stories are told of his
daring; how to win wager he jumped
into the Rhone on horseback. So wei;
did he establish his reputation that Ma
poleon III. at once said: "Dourot repre-
sents virtue, but Gallifet represents
bravery. believe that he, like Bay
ard. could easily defend bridge by
himself against all comers."--N. Y.

A field of grain in d dteamship's hold
was one of the curious sights recently
seen in the port Of philadelphia. The
vessel was the British tramp Elwick.
Many persons were attracted to the
ship to view the Interesting exhibit,
says report from that city.
The Elwick, under command of Capt.
Clark. has been running between Phil
adelphia and English ports, carrying
wheat and corn in bulk. She returned
from the other side on her last voyage
partially ballasted with dirt. 1t was
owing to the latter that the growth OF
grain was possible.
The interesting discovery was made
bya foremast hand who had occasion
to go into the hold. He reported to
the captain that the Elwick was grow
ing a wheat crop. Capt. Clark made
an investigation and found that such
was indeed the case. #
Many grains OF wheat remained
secreted in hooks and corners in the
hold after the ship had been dis
charged on the other side, and the
pitching of the vessel on her trip to the
United States caused them to fall upon
the dirt. The grain soon sprouted in
the warm and damp hold and it now
presents a remarkable appearances.

which afforded the spectators
much amusement and at the same
time served to remove a little of
the conceit from the contestants.
Mr.. James A. Cobb won the blue
ribbon for the best shot and Prof.
Kelley Miller won the yellow rib
bon for the worst shot. When
the contests among the men were
over, the ladies tried, and Miss
enn1e Williamson proved her
self best with DR.. Joiner a close
second, while Miss Tyson was the
successful candidate for the conso-
lat1On prize for ladies. The courts
were beautifully decorated with
lanterns and transparencies, the
latter representing the club mem
bers in characteristic positions and
attitudes; Pelham making a jump
shot; Syphax on a long shot and
Shadd on a near stroke. After the
contests, the spectators were invit-
ed into the adjoining building,
where a literary contest in the ma
ture of a literary wedding was en-
gagged IN and about 100 of the best
known Negro authors were intro
duced by picture, and those pres
ent asked to recognize the picture
and find partner who had a card
bearing some work or composition
of the author. The entire affair
was under the management of Mr..
Robert Pelham, Jr., and was ar
ranged with his usual skill and
unique conceptions. The games
continue throughout the month
every pleasant evening from six
to ten o'clock p. m. All who are
interested in the game are invited
to visit the courts.

THE PARK ROGUE CLUB.
A Success From the Start-Sone
Prize Winners.

The Park Rogue Club had its
opening last Monday night as
stated in the issue of last week.
The event was truly a sporting
triumph for the young men who
compose this club. The Negroes
of Washington are not much Civ
en- to attending the athletic con-
tests that take place in and about
Washington, or at least the bet
ter element are not. The annual
drill of the High School cadets
and the foot ball contests between
the High Schools and Howard
University are about the only COM
petitions that have been able to
draw upon the better element of
the population for an audience in
the past, but the game Of Rogue
has been steadily growing in popu-
larlty for the past three or four
years and the building of the new

very enjoyable sport. An invita-
ton was extended through the
press, to the friends of the club to
be present at the opening on Mon
day night and they responded in
such generous proportions that the
club was compelled to bring in ex-
ira seats from the adjoining build
ing to accommodate the crowd. Af-

members of the club, in which Mr..

Last week we suggested
that there be erected a cam
ming factory in this city the
same las other enterprising
towns of our size have in sue
cessful operation, and the sug-
gestion, we learn, is being
seriously considered by Mr..
Andrew Hawkins, and from
the interest manifested we be-
lieve that within the next few
months a plant of the kind
will be arranged and put in
operation. Mr.. Hawkins has
done much for the business
interest of our city, having
placed it as one of the first
markets of the world as
turkey shipping point, he hav-
ing slaughtered many thou
sands of them here last fall.
There is no reason why a car
ming factory should not pay
largely on the amount invest
ed in this city, and we earn
estly hope that Mr.. Hawkins
will carry out his present
intentions of erecting such a
plant.

Mr.. Andrew Hawkins is
Strengthening many chickens at
his turkey pens in this city.
Last week he slaughtered
an average of one thousand
chickens a day, which gave
employment to many people of
the town. Chicken pickers
are paid two cents for each
chicken picked, and at that
price some of them are able to
make quite a good days pay.
Harry Marshall, colored
man, last week picked on an
average of two hundred
chickens a day.

Many would no doubt think
that we would have little
trouble in getting together
county news, as the town and
county is so thoroughly COW
cred with telephone service.
And in fact the phones are of
great benefit to US in securing
news from out of town, but
there is trouble experienced in
one respect. Our phone oft
times will ring, and when we
answer there is heard the
click, click of every other
phone along the line cutting
in to learn what is to be talk
ed about. 1t is nothing I'M
common at all to hear some
one of them unthoughtedly
exclaim, wouldn't that frost
you, or isn't that just terri
ble," or to have one of them
suggest that certain steps be
taken to do so and so. And
then whatever news might be
phoned to us when learned by
these gossipers becomes pub

large a circulation as any two
papers in the State could give.

A Full Explanation That
We Gladly Publish.

Your letter in relation to
the public building at Law
renceburg has just been re-
ceived. No bills of this char
acter will be considered by the
committee during this short
session, except cases involving
especially urgent circum-
stances. I have been before
the committee twice, and the
members tell me that we have
good case, but we must wait
until the next session. They
further advise that it would
be improper to press for a re-
port now, because an unfav-
Orable report might be made,
and this would be a serious
obstacle to the further prog
ress of the bill at the next
session. The people of Law
renceburg ought to give me
credit for knowing better how
to proceed and when to pro-
coed than they can possibly
know at that distance. Tell
them that l have no other bills
for a public building, and that
l am pursuing that course
which will, in my judgment,
best secure the appropriation.
1t would be folly for a delega-
ton to come up here now and
lay the facts and figures before
this Congress. When next
Congress convenes we will
have a new committee re-or-
ganized by a new Speaker.
The Chairman of this Com
mittee, Mr.. Mercer, has been
defeated for reelection, and
when the long terms begins the
work would have to all be done
over again, and the hearing
now had would be of no posi-
BILE avail. 1t is like bringing
a suit on the equity docket

patient, and l will get the
building for them.
Your friend,
G.. G. GILBERT.
We are very glad indeed to
copy the above letter which
was received by one of our
citizens from Congressman
Gilbert regarding the govern
ment building. We are most
certainly to have it in the near
future. Our citizens will be
much pleased at the reading
of this most encouraging let
ter, and we are glad to have
the opportunity of placing it
before the public.
