It must not be.presumed that a majority
of the inhabitants of the mountain coun

the most intelligent and successful farm

of inaugurating the mild crusade against

PROGRESS OF CREMATION.
Some Interesting Facts from the Organ
of the Kerlin Society.
l)ie Flamme is a monthly paper pub
lished in Berlin snd devoted to the advo
cacy of cremation at home and abroad.
Its July number gives a brief summary
of the progress made by theC'remationists
in America and Europe. The Paris Cre
mation Society was founded in 18S0 and
approved by the Prefect of Police on De
cember 23 of the same year. The third
annual meeting took place on January 9,
IS4, and was presided over by the Mayor
of the Seventh arondissement, Mr. Koe'ch
lin Schwartz, who called the attention of
those present to the dangers that would
attend the present form of burial in case
of an epidemic disease making its appear
ance. The'chairman was commissioned
to apply tc the police authorities lor per
mission toj build several crematories in
each cemetery of the capital, since both
above and below •the ground a corpse is
the souree of emanation, poisoning the
atmosphere, tor which evil cremation is
the onlve-emedy. The dead after a battle
should be disposed of in the same manner,
as a vast number oi rotting corpses in a
narrow space are almost sure to breed
disease. A bill providing for the erection
of crematories, brought before the French
Chamber of Deputies, was supported by
the i'lustrious Gamlietta. Casimir I’erier
and Paul Bert, but a measure of this kind
takes time before it becomes a law and,
in view of the possible ajtpearance of the
cholera, the society desire to have a cre
matory erected as"soon as possible The
principal opponent of th<' plan is the fa
mous Dr. Brouardel. The Paris society
c ambers live hundred and seventy mem
bers.
In Denmark few of the cemeteries com
ply with sanitary demands. Dr. Levison,
of Copenhagen, has collected statistics in
one thousand six hundred and City-two
villages and one hundred towns. Nearly
all the burial places are in the immediate
neighborhood of dwelling houses, in some
cases only fifteen yards away. Now and
again the drinking water in the neighbor
hood has been poisoned by this contact.
The London Cremation Society was
founded in lsT.'i. Its President "is Sir
Henry Thomson. The society purchased
in IS7B an estate at St. John.ir the county
of Surrey, where a crematory has recently
been erected.
The Philadelphia correspondent assures
l)i>‘ FI ft run it that cremation in that city
struggles against an ignorance and nar
row-minded prejudice that must be seen
to lie appreciated. “Not only are the
ministers of the gospel opposed to us al
most to a man,” writes this gentleman,
“but also those who in any way derive a
livelihood from contact xvith the dead—
managers of cemeteries, undertakers and
bodv-snatohers, who derive a princely in
come from the sale of corpses, our medi
cal colleges often purchasing as many as
thirty-six in a week. The San Francisco
cremationists are trying to raise $i r >,ooo
to build an oven, anil the New Orleans
Society hopes to be able to have one in
working order next year.”
DUTIES OF PARENTS.
Bill Ny Indulges In a Domestic Homily
—Mistakes in Rearing Children that
Should Be Avoided.
We should so live that when the sum
mons comes to be a parent it will find us
prepared. Like a thief in the night, at
an early hour when we think not—like a
thunderbolt from a clear sky, the call may
come to ns. Let the night lamp, there
lore. be trimmed and burning, and tbe
alum where ye can lay hold on it at any
time. But, above all, we should make
ourselves conversant with those little par
liamentary rules which must govern the
conduct of the parent in his or her social
contact with the child. A . few sugges
tions upon what constitutes etiquette and
shows good breeding in this branch of so
ciety, readily marking and contrasting
the cultivated parent and distinguishing
him or her from the vulgar, the snide, the
plebeian, the canaille a (as we say in
France), the James Crow and the sans
culottes parent might not ire ill-timed or
inopportune.
In wiping a child’s nose be extremely
careful to leave the nose. Some parents
use so much unnecessary strength in
doing this that they find when it is too
late that they have wiped the nose of a
pet child into space. Nothing gives more
needless pain. Nothing can be more piti
ful than the child's first look of sorrow
and disappointment when he starts to
wi’>e his hose and discovers that it is gone.
Pause, fond parent, while the wipe is in
its incipienev, and resolve that you will
spare its nose. It can be of no use to you
and the loss of it will be a constant source
of annoyance to the child.
Teach your child the beauty of frank
ness and open candor toward all. Im
press upon him the beauty of being what
you appear to be and hate deception
everywhere. If you will fondle him and
■ dote on him in society and jerk him bald
j headed in the seclusion of the home circle,
; he will readily understand what you mean.
Children soon learn that if you hug their
| little'gizzards flat while visitors are about,
and then, when the home life is again re
j sumed, you throw them down cellar and
i wear out a table leg on their chubby
I limbs, that life is real, life is earnest and
j the square-toed, open, frauk policy is not
generally in use.
Parent’s should impress upon their
children the beauty of self-sacrifice and
self-abnegation, if they know what that
is; I don’t, if there should be but one
j piece of pie, give it to “poor sick papa.”
It may kill ciru, and after the funeral
j your young life will be one prolonged hal
lelujah and rose-tinted whoop-’em up
j ’lizajane.
Parents should not be constantly suspi-
I cious of their children. This will evi
dently breed hypocrisy and unreliability.
If you fear that your son is playing pin
pool. do not break down your constitution
and bring on delirium tremens , hanging
around the pool-tables watching all night
for him. He will look upon you with dis
trust and no doubt at last tell vou to go
and soak your head.
I>o not constantly tell your boy “how
tall” he is—that he “grows like a weed”—
and finally make hini think he is a giraffe.
If you keep it up you will finally make a
round-shouldered,awkward, bashful lan
polo out of a mighty good-lookfeg boy. If
every tali boy in this country will agree
to lick every wooden-headed man who
tells him “how he does grow,” I will agree
to hold the coat of said tall boy. 1 am
now dealing with a subject of which I
happen to be informed. The same rule
applies to girls as well. If you want to
make your daughter fall over the piano
and yearn to climb a tree whenever she
sees anybody come toward the house, tell
her “what a’ great swalloping tom-bov she
is getting to be.” In this way, if parents
act judiciously and in concert, we can
soon have a nation of young men and
women whose manners and carriage will
be as beautiful and as symmetrical as the
plaster cast of a sore toe.
Microbes iii Fever and Ague.
Purls Mornixj yews.
M. Lave ran. a medical director Jn the
French army, chiel of service at the
Hospital of Gros C’aillou, has made an
important discovery—that of a microbe
which is the cause of fever and ague, and
; he has addressed a report on the subject
\ to the Academic de Medicine. This mi*
, erobe is easily visible under an ordinary
microscope—one which magnifies about
350 times —and takes upon itself succes
i sively three different forms, or, as M.
Laverau expresses it. is converted into
I four several bodies. Body No. I has the
form ot an arc, on the surface of which
| appear little whitish circles, hardly visi
ble; a membrane, also scarcelj r visible,
; connects the two extremities of the mi
crobe. like the chord of the are. Body No.
*2 is round, and the small whitish circles
appear on its back, but assuming in their
tarn the form of other circles. Front the
first part of the exterior circle emerge
also feelers, four membranes, bearing at
their ends anew circle. In bodv No. 3
the membranes and their accessories dis
appear: the microbe is then more easily
than ever confounded with the corpuscles
of the blood. Dr. Laverau is of the opin
ion that the four feelers detatch them
selves from body No. 2 and scatter them
selves through the blood, to become them
selves in turn four separate bodies of the
type of No. l. and so on successively in
indefinite self-multiplication.
THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, AUGUST 3,1884.
VARLEGATED CUTICLE.
A California Mulatto Who is Changing
Color A Peculiar and Interesting
Case,
One day last week, says the Alta Cali
fornia, the writer found himself in the
presence of George F. Norton, *Jne
janitor of several business offices on ’Mont
gomery street, near Market. Norton is
slightly on the shadv side of 30, is intelli
gent, a good conversationalist, and was
formerly a handsome mulatto, possessing
a dark-yellow skin. Now he is pinto, pie
bald, or calico in hue, applying the terms
as they are used in describing horses.
The upper half of his forehead is perfectly
white. So is his entire scalp. His fingers
are white, the major portions of both arms
are of a similar color, and his chest and
other portions of his body have acquired
the same transparency. Under his chin
is a streak of white extending from ear to
ear, aud on his cheeks and throat are
irregularly-scattered spots of white, rang
ing in size from a silver half-dime to a
half-dollar. Norton is very sensitive re
garding bis mottled appearance, and con
siderable diplomacy was required to
extract any conversation on the subject
whatever. Ilis interviewer finally broach
ed the topic by inquiring if he had been
applying iodine to his face. “No, sir,”
said Norton, hesitatingly, “that’s nat
ural.” A little surprise, judiciously
mixed with kindly Interest, had the de‘-
sired effect, and soon the janitor waschat
ting pleasantly about his “annoyance,”
as he preferred terming it. The white
spots first made their appearance, he said,
some twenty years ago, when he came to
California from the South. At first the
transformation was noticeable in two or
three little dots on hl9 throat. Then they
began to work downward, and in five years
his breast was nearly white. The transi
tion in point of shade did not appear to be
gradual, although the eating away of the
color was very slow. Even now there is
no intermediate shade, the color line be
ing as clear cut and well defined as if
drawn with a pencil. The transformation
caused Norton some little uneasiness at
first, but, as he felt no unusual sensations
and retained his good health, he paid no
more attention to it than to watch the de-
parture of his natural color. When the
spots began to appear on his face and
hands they caused him some annoyance,
on account of the comment of people with
whom he was thrown in contact, and he
applied to several physicians for some
agent to hold the spread in check. All
agreed that the change was not hurtful,
and the majority advised him to pay no
attention to it. Norton insisted, however,
and tried several prescriptions without
avail, until 1881, when Dr. Hyams, since
deceased, gave him an application that
prevented any further spread tor nearly
two years. Then Norton obtained a situ
ation as watchman in the Clay street
bank, and the change in his mode of liv
ing seemed to start the color of his con
sumption once more, and it has gone on
steadily ever since, until now over one
half of his cuticle is a pure white. Tb the
touch there is no perceptible difference
between the white and black skin, and
when the transformation is complete no
liviug human being will possess a finer
complexion than Norton. Baring his
arms and throat, he permitted the re
porter a close inspection of the cuticle
that had already undergone the change,
and, at the conclusion of liis examination,
the reporter almost envied him its posses
sion. No athlete in the pink of condition
could present a finer condition than does
Norton where he has changed from black
to white. The skin is of satin smooth
ness and gloss, and is clearer, more trans
parent, and has a more healthy look about
it chan that of 999 men in a 1,000. It is
wonderfully .white, and so clear that when
he bends his arm every motion of the
muscles can be distinguished beneath it.
His skin is simply beautiful, and there
are lew ladies who would not be glad to
make the exchange, including the added
charm of the blue veins, as they make sin
uous breaks in the marble surface. Norton
says that he has not had a sick dav in
twenty yeais, notwithstanding that he is
of an exceedingly nervous disposition and
has had a great deal of trouble. He thinks
that the strange phenomenon is due to his
nervousness in part, and that it is partlv
attributable to causes hereditary. Ilis
mother, who is still alive, has several
white spots on her lower limbs of various
sizes, none exceeding an inch in diame
ter, but they have been there ever since
she can remember, without either increas
ing or decreasing in size. Norton stated
during the chat that he stilt did not des
pair of effecting a sudden and complete
change to either white or black, and that
he was now occasionally visiting Dr.
James Murphy, who has an office adjoin
ing that of Dr. Stanton, who was the re
porter’s original informant.
On leaving him, therefore, the writer
called on tbe doctor and asked for a dis
sertation on the battle between white and
black. Dr. Murphy pronounced such a
transition as Norton is now engaged in
undergoing extremely rare in the par
ticular form in which Norton is
afflicted, and added that #ie case is one
of the most perfect of its kind ever
brought to the attention of science.
Medical writers of prominence have varl-
ously treated of it as leucopathia, leuco
derma, albinism, leucasmus figuratus,
partial albinismus and achroma. Rayer,
in one of tbe most lucid papers on the sub
ject, says that the transition is due to a
deficiency in the coloring matter in the
blood corpuscles of the skin. His defini
tion of leucopathia is a general or partial,
congenital or accidental colorless state of
the skin, arising from absence or deficien
cy of the pigmentum and coloring matter
of the hair. “Rayer says,” continued the
doctor, after consulting a formidable
looking volume, “that general accidental
leucopathia is never observed except in
negroes. Whites ol dark complexion may
be bleached by absence from light, but
their whiteness cannot be classed with
either leucopathia or albinism. Acci
dental partial leucopathia—like the
bleaching of the hair at an early age or
the appearance of white spots—is’ gener
ally the result of some mental ernotkn.”
“That is what Rayer says on the sub
ject,” concluded the doctor, as he closed
the book, “and he adds that leucopathia
can scarcely be classed as a skin disease,
because there is no disease noticeable.
He cites several eases where the trans
formation was more or less marked, the
most complete of which is that of a negro
who was burned by a lot of boiling sugar.
Wherever the hot stuff reached -him a
w hite spot was left, and these gradually
increased in size until his entire body
was white.”
Reaching for another volume, Dr. Mur
phy resumed, after a moment’s study:
“Tilbury Fox, the great English physi
cian and student of skin diseases, says of
this change in color that it is le’uco
derraa when the pigment is deficient and
the transition is from black to white, and
that it is melanoderma when the pigment
is in excess and the change is from white
to black. lie claims that treatment is
sometimes successful, and should consist
of tonics, residence in a cool locality, cor
recting any possible ill effects of malarial
poison, friction, iodine applications and
cold baths. Neither of these writers ap
pear to have had any opportunity for
anatomical observation of the phenome
non. and in one instance, at least, the
sayings are self-confessedly based on the
investigations of others. This is not at
all astonishing, however, for such cases
are very rare. This is the only one I have
ever met with.”
“What is your opinion, doctor?” asked
the reporter.
“Well, it is hard to say. Of the fact
that the change is due to a deficiency in
the pigment of the skin there is no doubt,
but the causes leading to the deficiency
arc a puzzle. 1 have an idea, created by
close investigation, that the change is
almost as much a psychological phenome
non as a physiological one. The change
in all its completeness seems confined ex
clusively to erosses between the light and
dark-skinned races, and eases of it in peo
ple who are not mulattoes are extremely
rare. My theory, as yet not completely
worked out, is that the forces of the male
and female by whom the subject is propa
gated must be exactly equal. Of course,
the complexion of the progeny is that of
the darker parent, but later in life the
characteristics of each begin to war with
the other for the mastery." If the inclina
tions of the darker parent gain the mas
tery, the external appearance remains
the same; but if the lighter progenitor’s
disposition be in the ascendant, the
chances are favorable for a transition.
That is my idea, so far as formulated,”
concluded the doctor, “but you can see
how very evenly balanced the soul forces,
so to speak, must be to bring about such
a psychological warfare.”
“Do you agree with Fox that the
change can be checked by treatment?'’
“I do not at present, because the change
caunot be classed as a disease. It is more
attributable to mental disturbances.
Norton is extremely nervous, as perhaps
you noticed, and, as far as I have been
able to discover, in all well-defined cases,
the same characteristic prevails.”
“How long will it take Norton to be
come a white iiian?” *
“Now you are going beyond me,” said
the doctor, laughing, and the interview ,
ended. ' i

The Peor’g 0 f Newfoundland Kuined by
T y r,> .nts Grinding Tyranny on the
I"aaud.
The harbor of St. John, says a corres
pondent of the Baltimore American , is a
mere gap in the granite walls of the
coast. We pass between rocky promonto
ries hardly further apart than the 6hip is
long—either shore in easy pistol 9hot.
One of the harbor defenses is a huge
chain, which in war may be stretched
across and bar the entrance of ships. Be
yond the gates it broadens out into a no
ble harbor. The city is chiefly of stone
and brick, stern and gloomy in appear
ance, and conveying the suggestion that
the buildings would look at their best
snow-clad in winter, being built to keep
cold out. The day was a raw, gustj’
March day on June 18 ? the dust of the
macadamized street being very disagreea
ble. The people are square-built and
hardy-looking, both women and men.
Some groups of fishermen on the streets
were quite impressive by their sturdy
manhood. Very primitive are the wagons
and carriages on the streets, and the
horses wretched-looking. There is an air
of sullen resistance to a, hard destiny visi
ble everywhere.
The people are divided into two classes
—the toilers and those who own them—
and iu few countries are the lines so
tightly drawn. The reasons are obvious
even to the stranger. The only industries
of the island are the cod fisheries and the
seal fisheries. Agriculture there is almost
none. It is said that there are treasures
of lead, iron, and copper within the
island, but they are undeveloped. The
governing classes do not want them to be
developed. They have too good a
thing as it is. The railroad that is in pro
gress, aud has gotten eleven miles in
land, is built against the wish of the shop
keepers and the ring, and built by Eng
lish capital. In it there is a hope of pro
gress, varied pursuits, education, and es
cape from the tyranny of the governing
class.
This tyranny is accomplished through
debt and credit. The fisherman’s life is
one of great toil and hardship and uncer
tainty. In the autumn he often finds him
self without the means ol living. He goes
to the shopkeeper and gets credit for flour
aud meat, shoes, etc. The storekeeper
sells them the worst possible at double or
treble prices. What is the poor fellow to
do ? The goods are sold with the condi
tion that the buyer shall work out tbe
debt in the seal fisheries. He goes ofl on
a sealing voyage and helps to secure a
cargo of sealskins and blubber worth per
haps a quarter of a million of dollars.
When the time comes to pay his wages
he finds a long account against him of
items charged at exorbitant prices; and
that, instead of sharing in the profits of
the great catch, he is still iu debt. Then
he must go codfishing all summer to work
out the debt—more purchases, more debt,
more hardship, toil, servitude, and so on
to the end. It is almost a serfdom. Eng
lish colonial officers, when they first ar
rive and see the condition of affairs, write
home about it, and try to institute re
forms. But such men soon get recalled.
It is more than whispered that some of
the colonial officers and titled statesmen
are the proprietors of the stores that are
run under different names. Thus there is
wealth and even luxury in a few T houses
in Newfoundland and a mortal struggle
for existence everywhere else, and strug
gle against ungenerous nature as well as
human rapacity and injustice. Skirting
the coast lor a hundred miles one sees no
animals grazing, no garden patch near a
house or hut, no forests nor orchards—
nothing but the rocks, the barrens of
stunted pines} or pine bushes, aud the
bare, sterile plains. Nothing offers food
except the sea, and that is full of hard
ship and danger to the toilers. They work
amid all danger—for the ring. But they
are all wreckers by nature. If the Nova
Scotiau were to go*on shore a wreck, these
islanders would call it “a gift from God,”
and they would claim and seize the cargo
and even the private property of such as
escaped death.
They are very religious, these islanders.
The first tiling that catches the eye on the
approach to the harbor is the Catholic
cathedral, Standing very grandly up
among the little houses." It is built of
granite, faced with white, resembling in
this respect our city jail: but it is flanked
by two noble towers, and the interior is
rich and imposing. Just below it, and a
little to one side, is the English cathedral,
now receiving additions, built in the form
of a cross, and having a magnificent tow
er now rising. The Scotch kirk stands be
low. severely simple. The people are
willing to live in huts and build these
lofty altars to God. This alone shows a
religious nature. I did not see any
churches, however, in the fishing villages
along the coast, nor any schodl-hsuses.
Illiteracy and ignorance are the rule; and
yet, when I look at the grand physique
of these fisherman, and note their 'hardi
hood, courage and faith, I can but think
that, under favorable institutions, a noble
civilization is possible even on this un
favored island, where it is winter for ten
months in the year, aud the other two are
very late iu the fall.
CHASING RAILWAY PRESIDENT.
llow Charles Francis Adams Dodged
an Officer. _
Charles Francis Adams, President of
the Union Pacific, who is now making
temporary headquarters in Denver while
looking over the Western branches of the
road, says the Denver Republican, had a
peculiar experience with a Deputy United
States Marshal while en route to Denver.
The little affair occurred at Kansas City,
and perhaps the railway magnate now
wishes he had taken a route so as to leave
out Kansas City from his Western trip.
A suit involving $250,000 in money was
some time ago entered in the courts of
Kansas City against President Adams,
but the suits were never pushed. The
trouble has been to get service on Mr.
Adams, and for that reason litigation has
been held in abeyance. The railroad mag
nate had a way of dropping into Kansas
City on Sunday and getting off' again be
fore Monday, making it impossible to give
him the legal notice! A few days ago in
formation was received that Mr. Adams
and a Boston party would reach there on
a week day. The "depot was watched but
no special car came in. At length, three
or four hours after the arrival, it was
learned that the official coach had been
side-tracked in the suburbs, and that the
party; among them F. L, Ames, H. iJ.
Clark and others, had gone into the city
in carriages. The Deputy Marshal was
put into a hack and tor six hours he trav
eled over the hills looking for Adams, get
ting on the trail occasionally, but never
near enough to sight the game. The officer
learned that the visitors were to take sup
per at the Coates, and there he went and
waited. Mr. Adams did not come. Along
in the evening it was ascertained that he
was meeting a select gathering of gentle
men at the club house. The Marshal,
thoroughly desperate, went to the club
house, passed the swallow-tailed major
domo on the plea of a very important
message for Mr. Adams, and found him
self at last in the magnate’s presence.
The papers were finally served and now
the suits arc to be pushed.
RAILROAD SANITATION.
A Good Example Set by the Chicago ancl
Alton.
The Chicago and Alton Railroad Com
pany have taken initiatory sanitary meas
ures in case of a visitation to this country
of the cholera. The example is a good
one and w ill doubless be followed by other
railroads. A circular, of which the fol
lowing is a copy, explains fully what
steps have been taken: “The heads of
departments and officers of the Chicago
and Alton Railroad Company in charge of
property, will, upon the receipt of this no
tice, have a thorough inspection made of
all buildings, out-houses and grounds ad
joining buildings at or between stations,
looking first to the condition ancl quality
of the water supply; second, as to the dis
position made of night soil, garbage and
sewage; third, as to the general sanitation
ol every building and its surroundings.
The General Manager desires that the
grounds about stations and section
houses be at once placed in the best at
tainable sanitary condition, with special
reference to the’character of the water
supply lor the use of passengers and em
ployes, the condition of all depositories of
offal,garbage and excrement, and the sani
tary condition of all surroundings upon
the g.ounds of the company and adjoin
ing. To this end you wiil at once take the
necessary action with reference to the
property of this company, and call the at
tention of the proper authorities to any
unhealthy conditions existing upon prop
erty adjoining that owned by the com
pany.”
To solder ferrules for tool handles lap a
small piece of brass wire around the joint
ing, wet the ferrule, spread borax on the
joint, put it on the end of an iron wire and
hold in the fire until the brass wire fuses.
It will fill the joining ana form a perfect
solder.
HENDRICKS AND BURDETTE.
The “Hawkeye” Man Tells How He
Once Dined with the Democratic Can
didate. . '
Do you know, I have a very pleasant
recollection of Mr. Hendricks ? The only
Mr. Hendricks in the world just now, of
course. I never met him but once, and
then 1 had the honor of dining with him.
I do not mention this fact in order to
create the impression that 1 am on easy,
familiar terms with all the candidates in
this Presidential campaign. I iear I am
not. If I wanted SSOO to-morrow—and I
probably will; at least I want it to-day,
and I am not the man to change my con
victions on financial matters in twenty
four hours—l do not know a single candi
date for President or Vice President
whom I could, so to speak, 9trike for thaj
amount.
Well, Mr. Herfdricks had the honor of
dining with me—that is, we dined with
each other. It was thi9 way. 1 had been
lecturing, after the count of 1876, out in
vast, free, glorious West. I was hasten
ing home to Burlington, over the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy. On that same
day Mr. Hendricks was on his way to
California. Both day trains on the Quincy
road dined at Wormley’s, at Charlton,
lowa. Mr. Wormley met me at the door
of the dining-room with even more than
usual cordiality. He said to me:
“Good. 1 have company for yon to-day,
Come right over to this table.”
I followed him and faced a gentleman so
much better looking than his campaign
portraits that 1 did not recognize Mr.
Hendricks until we were introduced. His
face was pretty attractive. His manner
no less charming. I was pleased that
fate had cast me in his way. That is, I
was at first. He was so pleasant. I liked
him. Early in the course of a brilliant
conversation about the weather, he said:
“You are the young gentleman who
writes the poetry in the Hawkeye , I be
lieve.” And you never saw a more be
witching smile on a man’s face.
Now, that was the very thing I didn’t
want to talk about. I had been writing
whole pages of campaign “poetry,” they
call it in the Hawkeye , but, you under
stand, that excellent family paper wasn’t
exactly a Democratic paper. Not just
what you’d call a Democratic paper. At
least, it was no more Democratic than
the most rantankerous, rally ’round the
flag, boys, third term, Hayes and the
whole ticket, Republican paper of Repub
lican lowa could be expected to be. It
was just about as Democratic as the
Brooklyn Eagle is Republican. And 1
knew what kind of “poetry” I had been
writing. I fidgeted a little,poured a spoon
ful of sugar in my soup and owned up
that I was the man. Then I asked him
how long he expected to remain in Cali
fornia. 0
He told me, and then saicU “There was
one little poem”—now, see how kind he
was—be called it a poem. “There was
one little poem you wrote, beginning:
“There was an old hoosier as I’ve heard
tell—now, how did the rest of that go?”
Go ? 1 went for him, tooth, claw and
toe-nail, and I knew it, and I believe he
knew it. 1 feebly said: “I don’t remem
ber,” emptied the salt into my coffee, aud
“hoped he would find rest and returning
health in California.” I also hoped that
I would die in a few moments, but I
didn’t say so. He thanked me in his
courteous’ manner for the wish 1 ex
pressed, and then went on.
“Therewus another, a good one; I can
recollect only the second stanza; how did
the first one run?”
And therewith he quoted a few lines of
one of the meanest things I ever wrote
about any man. While he quoted my
prize poem, pretending to forget the
stanza that referred to himself, I was
confused, but 1 seemed abstracted, as I
spread five very thick layers of mashed
potato on my folded napkin, under the
impression that I was spreading a piece
of bread and butter. I said 1 wasn’t
very well when I wrote that one, aud had
quite forgotten it. Then I attempted to
wipe the cold, beaded perspiration from
my brow with that napkin, and added to
my embarrassment; I must have ap
peared embarrassed or eccentric, 1 am
sure.
Well, the long and short of it is, Mr.
Hendricks remembered every mean poem
1 had written about Mr. Tilden and "him
self during that bitter campaign, and he
could quote just enough of the innocent,
good-natured lines of each one to show
me that he had read it. I never saw a
man with such a memory. I hope he en
joyed his dinner. I think he did. He ate
heartily and smiled good naturedly all the
time, and he bade me good-bye very pleas
antly. I am confident I showed off to
good advantage. If I did, I dissembled.
I didn’t feel that way at all. But I didn’t
run. I sat there and took my punishment
like a man. When Mr. Hendricks went
to his train 1 arose and sought Mr. Worm
ley, to tell him about it. He was lying on
the floor behind the cigar counter, wheez
ing and choking like a man who is trying
to laugh himself to death. 1 began to get
mad. I said:
“See here, Mr. Wormley —”
He feebly motioned me away. “Train
time,” he gasped. “Go to Burlington; go
away. Let me die in peace.”
I turned away and got on my train. I
did wrong. 1 ought to have licked Worm
ley while ho was helpless. It was the
only chance I ever had. And I never
dined again with Mr. Hendricks.
A STORY OF THE WAR.
The Gallant Young Soldier of Cobb’s
Legion—How “He” Fought Like a
Tiger—How She Wept Like a Woman,
Etc.
“Well, I’ll tell you a romantic fact
which verifies the old saying that truth is
stranger than fiction,” remarked a late
private of Hampton's cavalry to a Dallas,
Texas, Herald reporter, as they glided
along over the Belt-Line Railway. “It is
a reminiscence of the late unpleasantness
in which there is a true heroine in the
flesh.”
“Gen. Sherman, having successfully
accomplished his march to the sea, was
preparing to co-operate with Gen. Grant
in Virginia, by marching through the
Carolinas, devastating their resources,
and by methods unauthorised by usages
of civilized warfare, attempting to break
the spirit of these proud old common
wealths. At this juncture Hampton and
Butler, two of Carolina’s most chivalrous
sous, were sent from Virginia to oppose
the conquering General whose army was
sweeping over |the Palmetto State like a
besom of destruction. Two brigades of
dashing cavalrymen followed the chival
rous Hampton from Virginia to Columbia:
one of whose regiments, the famous old
Cobb legion of Georgia, received on the
eve of its departure from Virginia the
addition of one to its gallant number in the
person a handsome young recruit known
throughout the command as Charlie .
Modest as a lady, yet bold as the boldest
of his battlesearred companions, hand
some little Charlie endured the fatigues,
participated in the engagements, suffered
the privations of the Carolina campaign
with a hoerism equal to that of a
veteran.
“In company with a boon companion, he
participated in the gallant charge upon
Kilpatrick’s camp, releasing his impri
soned comrades and carrying oil a large
number of the enemy, the battles at
Cheraw, Avensboro, and Bentonville, and
iu picket vigil kept while his com-
Soon after Bentonville
came last picket duty as a Con
federate cavalryman. The detail for the
night was composed of a prominent
official of Dallas county, Charlie and com
panion with others. The enemy attacked
the picket, and soon Charlie was seen
weeping over the manly figure of his com
panion, who had yielded his life a sacri
fice for his country. Only ‘a stray picket
had been shot,’ and next morning ail was
quiet. One more duty and Charlie’s
soldier life ended. Asa guard he
escorted a squad of Federal prisoners to
Raleigh, and there for the first time were
his companions made aware of the fact
that the gallant, handsome Charlie was a
woman, and the wife of their dead picket
companion. Her discharge, of course,
followed, and never again did she answer
to the roll-call of the old Cobb legion.
Virginia, the mother of statesmen and
soldiers, has produced heroes of whom she
may well be proud, among whom there is
for virtue, patriotism, and heroism scarce
ly a peer to Charlie, the gallant cavalry
man. -Her praises are unsung by poet,
and her name unknown to the historian,
and while her name and identity are un
known to her former companions, we trust
that she has again linked her destiny with
some knight of the gray, and around her
knee have gathered bright-eyed girls and
boys who will one day make her name
illustrious.”

A POPULAR PHILADELPHIA
MALADY.
The Cool Way in which it was Treated.
Philadelphia Times.
The gatekeeper of the German Hospital
swabbed his brow with his coat cuff as
the ambulance drove up at 8:30 last
night.
“Dot storm made it hodder,” he remark
ed, sententiously.
“Was is’t?” he asked of the driver as
the ambulance rattled through.
“Froze his feet,” was the answer.
“Dot Amerigan was too fresh,” grum
bled the gatekeeper as he closed the bar
rier.
Nevertheless Henry Leith, aged 57
years, of No. 1249 Taney street, was
brought into the German ’ Hospital last
night with frozen feet. So the doctors pro
nounced after an examination which re
solved them upon the promptest measures
in order to save amputation. Leith’s sin
gular accident was the result of an effort
to cure himself of a very common hot
weather malady. All summer long he
has been extremely footsore, the skin
pealing off his pedal extremities a good
deal faster during the day than it woujd
grow again at night. For this he tried a
cold water remedy, but with no success.
The cuticle continued to slough off with
the same regularity as before. He still
had faith in hydropathy and believed that
the secret of the cure was to get the
water cold enough. Accordingly he stayed
at home for a week, with his feet soused
in a bucket oi well water, which was re
newed every half hour. lie went happily
forth at the end of the week, but his soles
came back iu as raw a state as ever.
“Put ’em iu an ice cream freezer,” said
one friend.
“Drive an ice wagon,” said another.
“Imagine they’re dead and send for an
undertaker to put ’em on ice,” suggested
a third.
Mr. Leith adopted the latter plan with a
modification. He tried another week at
home. At first he only put in enough ice
to bring the temperature of the water to
that of "railway drinking water. The next
day he brought it down to the level of
boarding house tea and then to that of
Schuetzen Park lager. In four days he
was able to keep his feet for a minute and
a half on a cake of ice. Gradually he
managed to leave them there till a cast
was taken. By this time his feet were
quite insensible to cold. He was, as he
expressed it, “an Esquimaux up to the
ankles,” and propounded to his wife as he
sat over his tub a theory for hardening
cavalry officers for Arctic service.
A little before 8 o’clock last night his
wife, who was down stairs, heard fright
ful shrieks issuing from her husband’s
room. She rushed up stairs to find him
still sitting over his tub. His feet, how
ever, had entirely disappeared. “Cut’em
out! Cut’em out!” yelled Mr. Leith.
His wife looked at the tub and saw two
huge cakes of ice upon which her hus
band’s feet had been placed. He had gone
to sleep and his feet had melted complete
ly through the cakes. Alter a few futile
attempts to liberate her husband’s under
standing with a darning needle and the
back of a hairbrush, Mrs. Leith bethought
herself oi the ice-pick. This speedily ac
complished the desired purpose, but Mr.
Leith’s feet were found to be m the condi
tion which the German Hospital doctors
are trying to alter.
A Span of Pink Horses.
Nashville (Tenn.) Atnerican.
A pair oi pink horses attached to a
hack, were seen standing in front of the
Maxwell House the most of the day, yes
terday, and caused considerable inquiry
among the pedestrians as to how they
came to be so highly colored. The hack
man who drove them explained to about
100 people, but was asked the question so
many times that he came over to the
American office and got a sheet oi paper
on which he wrote the following, which
he pasted on the side of his coach:
“Them bosses got pinked by bein’ left
in the rains with red fly nets on. It ain’t
no U9e askin’ morekestions about it.”
A floral prayer book to be carried to the
altar is one of the novelties of the day.
Advice to Homers.
Mns. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup
snouia always be used when children are
cutting teeth. It relieves the little suf
lerer at once: it produces natural, quiet
sleep by relieving the child from pain, and
the little cherub awakes as “ bright as a
button.” It is very pleasant to taste. It
soothes the child, softens the gums, al
lays all pain, relieves wind, regulates
the bowels, and is the best known remedy
lor diarrhoea, whether arising from teeth
in’ or other causes. 25 cents a bottle.
