0 A ttyod *1 line in the Confederate Capital.
A At this time private theatricals were
Ihe rage in Richmond, and a performance
took place at the residence of Mrs. Ives.
,• The play was “The Rivals.” Mrs. Clcm
—j <’nt C. Clay, of Alabama, represented
Mrs. Malaprop; Miss Constance Carey,
qgj- Lydia Languish, and Captain Frank
n l*3 Ward, of Maryland, Bob Acres. It wai
or ’t all admirably done. The performances
> o ,t were followed by fancy dress and daiic
ro w, ! n 8 parties, the young ladies appearing
j s in the old resurrected costumes of ths
revolutionary period of Ancient Virginia
Indies and grandmothers, and right gl:rd
h e r i to get them of that or any other period;
r lj lOn one occasion, at a party given ut Gen
oral Cooper’s, by his daughter, Misi
Jennie, I was dancing with a pretty girl,
J,’ and had been admiring her dress—lace
over blue silk, I took it to lx?, but she
kjrattold me it was mosquito bar over blue
muslin. After a short waltr she sudden
ly gave a little scream, as girls do whes
a mouse runs across the floor, and placed
herback against the wall. “Quickl
‘it* quick!" she cried in agonized tones.
ni f “My cloak I take me home; my Spencer
bnrated °P en * n the back.” The dress
ulk P rc tLy, but frail. Another young
•r» ' ls, Y same ball had made use of a
I Srholc piece of mosquito netting, and
el o’ith a long train and lots of ruchings
t j-jfnd pulling, with concomitants rs Tur
ly, jfey red run through the puff, and a sin
(.jij'Te bow of red ribbon to match, really
u/, presented a most elegant b ill costume,
Jq, j, nd one which any one could not hava
/ ' "told from a Worth or Parisian importa
k v tion. Confidentially she told me
| n i her skirts were so arranged not to cut
In into it too much, as her mother had only
loaned it, and designed making use of it
||g ! for household purposes. Some demure,
long-faced people said it was a shame to
I a Im? dancing while our soldiers were suf
(./I sering iu the field; but we danced and
had a good time when we could, for who
jgr • could tell how soon any of us might fill
X ' a ditch, yclept a soldier’;? grave. And we
| didn’t take the trouble to think of it.
T L Besides General Lee said: “Let the
: 1 i- young fellows enjoy themselves; they’ll
v tight all the better for it."
An Old Splinter.
I , Recently Dr. A. T. Hudson extracted
«)' a splinter one inch long and one eight!
|. of an inch in thickness from the hand ol
•' t .James .Raid of trinity county. Mr
i Bard is »n old soldier and served on Iho
| ' Union side during the civil war. Lie
>l* participated in an engagement in July,
. 1863, and while in the act of aiming his
h , musket a bullet from the enemy’s ranks
;■«.*> struck the stuck of the mu*l<et and shat
awt terc< l He was wounded in the palm
|. of hia hand, and it was supposed thatthe
bullet had lodged in the flesh. The
she wound soon healed, and for a long time
s caused no trou de or pain. After nerv-
Uio war Mr. Bard camo to
Sp California and settled in Trinity county,
|||(- where he has since resided.
Os late his hand has caused him con
■ sidcrablc trouble, especially when stoop
• ing to pick up anything, ami he was ad
■ • vised by a local physician io have an ope-
■ ration performed upon it, but he did not
■ ‘ feel able to stand the expense Mr. Bard
■ takes considerable interest in Grand
f 4 Army matters. He is very patriotic, and
I ' has a right to be, in as much as he parti-
I k cipated in fifty-two battles and skirmish-
I • es during the late war. He was bound to
I i attend the encampment at San Francisco.
L and to raise the requisite funds sold a
| cow for SSO While in San Francisco he
I ; met Dr. A. T. Hudson of this city. The
r ! Doctor also advised an operation on the
L ailing, hand, and learning that Mr. Bard
-* was to stand the expense, he
i "‘majfuiinimously offered to perform the
t operation gratuitously if Mr. Bard would
'l come to Stockton, and the latter accord
ingly came. Dr. Hudson rc-opened tha
wound ami probed it, and instead of
Moding a bullet, ns was expected, found
the splinter above described. It was e
piece of the old musket stock, and had
1 remained imbedded in the man’s flesh
for twenty-three years, and was in a good
v state of preservation. Mr. Bard’s hand
will soon be al! right again. He is very
grateful to Dr. Hudson for his generosi

That Other Fallow.
That other fellow » in every contest,
whether it be a dog fight, politics, basi
neas or love.
Did you ever see a dog fight where all
where agreed as t® which dog should
whip!
Were yoa aver at a trial of a law suit
that there waa not that other fellow bel
ligerent as a hornet!
Are you running a peanat stand, that
other fellow is opposing and getting
trade that you ought to and would have
but for him.
You go into a political convention,
that other fellow is around and gets what
by right belongs to you.
Finally you get after the girl created
for you. Heaven’s fiat is in favor of'
your having her—indeed, she was in
tended from birth for you by the Great
Omnipotent. You knew her at sight
She was the marrow of your life from
the day you saw her. She rounded out
your existence, and she made you feel
like a unit and only she. All this you
felt by prescience.
You naturally “go" for that girl. You
waste time upon her. You study her
likes and dislikes: you humor her to pea
nuts, ice-cream, boat-rides, dances, the
ater, and repeated, and each again re
peated. The moro you see her the more
you are sure heaven intended her for you
and you for her. You are convinced, you
are assured, you know. It has passed
beyond belief with you; you feel it in
your soul. After all this, you awake to
the fact that she has another fellow.
That other fellow is after her too, and
she. favors both. She eate the ice-cream
of both. She chooses which! You are
on the nettles—you arc on the anxious
seat—you are in hades, all because of
that other fellow.
“That other fellow” has been at the
bottom of more trouble, been the cause
of more jealousy, more disputes, more
anger, more hate, more of the real inner
cussedness of human life than any cause
that can be named or mentioned.
If there is a crcatnrc to be hated, to be
justly maligned, animadverted, anathe
matized, traduced, derided, contemned,
abused and spoken against at all times
and upon all occasions, he is that other
fellow. The Bible would be an unsup
ported, meaningless syllogism with him
thrown out or wanting-—Milton’s Para
dise Lost it rhapsody, and life itself
sink into a vapid, spiritless game, but
for “that other fellow.”
It is that other fellow that gives spirit
to the business of our cities, to the con
tests of our courts, to the political bat
tles of our commonwealths, even to the
conquests of love itself.
Life would hardly be worth living but
for the gamey spirit of uncertainty and
two-sidedness infused into it by “that
other fellow.”
Here’s to that other fellow. May he
always make a warm game, but never
win 1 Bat he sometimes does.

faintness at the pit of the stomaeh, loss of ap
petite, nervousness, sleeplessness, duH head
aches o’-st range pains through the back can un
derstand the ooudition I was in two years ago.
I thought I could readily throw these
things off, but they kept returning. Conse
quently I grew worse every day until last
spring, when I sent for a physician.
He said I bad a fever. I told him what con
dition I was In with ray water. At fir.it he
paid no attention to it, but finally said he
would take some of my urine home and an
alyze it.
The next day he came and said there was
some difficulty with ray kidneys. My sickness
continued until my urine was a sight to be
hold.
Another physician wax sailed. He pro
no inced it Bright'S dieea-e of the kidneys,
and said there was no cure for it. He did oil
he could, but to no effect. 1 then tried every
remedy I could hear of. Tur pais was so sb-

taking the medicine and kept gain

he was selling a great deal of Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root and that he had nevereold a Med

“Can’t do it.”
“Why not?”
“Believe in spiritualism now. They

“How does it affect you?”
“If I get among a lot of people, my
mentality gets dissipated, and magnetism
affects everybody.”
“Too bad ; but glad you’re so conscien

day. Said he was similarly affected.

to him, and would affect a whole car
