Hungary a.4.e A.s --etters.


 During recent paaneuvers or ships of the British navy some of them called at Lagos, Portugal, for their mail Soon 1t was discovered that some thing had gone wrong with 1t. Dne young sub-lieutenant received his sweetheart's letter in a condition of pulp, with the two top lines of each page still intact, while another officer, who knew that his hearts delight would not have failed him in the mat ter of letter writing, received nothing at all. The explanation. though hard ly solacing, was simple enough. It seems that the last % miles of the Lagos mail journey is performed by mule diligence and hungry mule had endeavored to satisfy the cravings of an empty stomach with the outpolsr- tngs of loving hearts.

Lace finishes great many of the sleeves, and in the most unexpected ways. One very fashionable Fifth ave- nue tailor actually Is cutting off his new sleeves just below the elbow and is finishing them with curtain fall of lace that is half foot deep. This is for winter wear, too, and the woman who puts on that gown will find herself with a short sleeve finished with very deep and very full lace Brooklyn Eagle

THD PLEA.
 The prisoner heard her exclamaa fion. His quick glance took in her figure and that of her escort. A scowl settled upon his handsome brow and his lips set in firm line of anger. As they advanced, he drew himself up between his oaptors and made stately but freezing abeisance to the lady.
 eWhat is the meaning of this dis. turbance?" Bessemer demanded of the sergeant in charge of the sol diers.
 This is the rebel, sir," the man answered, saluting, "upon whose trail you sent us. We. captured him some miles back and were bringing him into camp, but when we reached the gate yonder he broke away from us."
 "WeIl,'' Bessemer inquired sharply, "what did you find on himP Any Ghing?"
 q searched him as soon as we cap- tured him.' the sergeant answered, ssbut could find no papers"
 Bessemer tapped his foot upon the ground and studied moment. Doubt less" he said at last, s'he carries his dispatches in his head instead of in writing. You come from Gen. Gates, I believer" He turned to the prison CT.

 "Ah?~ e...- Bessemer's black eyes flashed an- grily. "No insolence, sir. recog- nize you now. Unless I mistake greatly, you are one of those arch conspirators who last month hung servants.

You hang with him, save CT one condition only-that you re- zeal within the hour the contents of Shose dispatches. be they written or eerbal. which you were conveying from Gen. Gates to Col. Sumter. On those terms alone will I spare your life; indeed, it is piece of clemency ia which I am scarce warranted"
 'sCol. Bessemer's reputation for mercy is world renowned. His quar- ter hath become household word. Of like fame are the honorable terms he ever offers those who have that which he would wish to purchase. 'Tis strange so few honest men take advantage of such magnanimity,

Unlikely to Ask For Repeal Of Fiji
teenth Amendment.
Nashville Tenn. Sept Ex-senator
F. W Carmack said. when asked about
his proposed effort to secure the re-
peal OF the 18th amendment:
i am sorry that the impression has
been created that am preparing to
agitate this question in congress A
reporter was discussing with me an
article / had written on the race ques-
ton. He asked me II intended to in
troduce a measure for the repeal OF
the 18th amendment ! replied that |
had not thought of doing so, but added
that I might do It just TO bring on a
debate. That was all.
Il confess that have great GU
riosity to hear the 18th amendment
defended by the Republican leaders;
but Al the same time know that any
progress toward the repeal OF the 10Th
amendment depends on its not being
made partisan or sectional question.
To make it such would be to check at
once a healthy $owth of public senu-
ment. It may well be that any direct
effort on the part Of a southern man
for its repeal would result in making
this a sectional or party question. This
must be avoided
