That truth is stranger than fiction is one of the most threadbare of axioms, yet it received anew illustration in the strange succession of circumstances through which Major Henry Kstes won his handsome blue eyed wife. Among the recruits who were sent forward to be mustered into a New England cavalry regiment attached to the Army of the I’otomac, in the spring of 1 tsts4, was a young man of fine up pearance and excellent education who from the first showed signs of having at some time been under military drill. No recruit ever fell into his place with less trouble, or so rapidly ad justed him self to the roughness and hardships of camp life. “Every inch a soldier,” was Major Estes’s comment the first time that his glance rested on Private Herbert Jauvrin, and neither in camp life nor in battle had he ever any reason to modify his v erdict. The rank and file with whom Jauvrin associated could never quite make him out. They recognized instinctively that he belonged to a higher social order than their own; they found out that he had traveled in many lands; they said among themselves that he was a for eigner and yet were puzzled to know just were to place a man who spoke half a dozen languages, and yet they were never jealous or ill-natured toward him.; He performed his duties with unfailing conscientiousness; was in his place in every engagement; proved himself a hero in the skirmish at St. Mary’s Church and in the long and dangerous raid to Trevyllian Station, and endeared himselt to every man in his company by some little act of kindness or cheery word of comiadship. That there was a mystery about him was evident. Not that he ever at tempted to create such an impression far from it. But officers and men knew that there must havo been soiuo strong cause that had moved a man of his cul ture to enlist as a private in a cavalry regiment in which he bad not a single acquaintance. There were hints enough g ven him to break through his reserve and talk about himself, but he always brushed them aside with a laugh and the oft <; noted by word of the camps: “Who wouldn't be a soldier?” “By Jove!” said the Colonel ono day, as Private Jauvrin ret red from his pres ence with a courtly salute, “that fellow has broken more than one heart, and in our set, too, Major, or I’m a block Island codfish. Fut him in a swallowtail and he would be the most distinguished looking man in the regiment, and would saunter through the lanciers liae a lord. I wish I could do something for him, but he doesn’t ask for promotion and doesn’t; seem to want, it, aud I don’t know who his friends are so as to push him. I’d bet a whale to a mackerel that there’s a woman in the case, aud a mighty pretty one, too." It was in the insignificant little skir mish on the etlgo of Chapin’s Farms that Drivate Jauvrin received a des perate wound which caused him to be sent to the Cavalry Corps Hospital on the Appomattox. At first he bade fair to recover, and the whole regiment pre pared to welcome him back, and the Colonel had marie interest at Washing ton to procure his promotion to Second Lieutenant. But ono day a messenger came from the Corps Hospital with tho news that Jauvrin was worse, and with an earnest request that Major Estes would ride over to see h;m. The Major had always manifesied a sincere liking for the soldier, and had tried more than once to win his confi dence, with a sincere desire to befriend him. He had not been successful, yet there had always been that sort of friendship between officer and man that had led Major Estes to sit down and talk with him of other times and other scenes. It was a shock to him to hear bad tidings of the soldier whom in his own mind he had associated with a story of romance and whom he honored as an example of duty. It was on a chilly autumn afternoon that the Major lifted the (lap of the wall tent in which Jauvrin lay on a rough cot set on the bare ground. He was shocked at the change in tho wounded man’s appearance. The stalwart frame had become reduced to skin and bone, and only the eyes had retained the old fire of life. He fairly started when the ghost of tho well-remembered and once “MY COUNTRY: MAY SUE EVER UK RIGHT ; ItIGUT OH WRONG, MY COUNTRYt"—3v.vv\&wn)H. ringing voice welcomod him, and tears started to his eyes as ho grasped tho thin and wasted hand nnd said; “Boor fel low, why did you not send for mo be forof" The Major stnyed at tho hospital that night and, little by little, ns tho strength of the speaker permitted, ho learned the story of I’rivate Jauvrin. Horn to an old and honorable name and tho prospective inheritor of wealth, llorbert Jauvrin, lifter a wild and waywurd boyhood, had been com missioned a Lieutenant in tho British army beforo he hud reached his majority and had fought gallantly before Sebas topol. Among Iris pajrers would bo fouud, Lc said, bis commission and his Crimean medal. On bis return to Eng land bo bad gono the way of all young men in bis position and had exhausted his income and tho round of l.ondon j pleasures. At last his father and family had cast him off ami he had wakened I from his dreams to find himself deprived j of all resources until lie succeeded to the entaled estates of his family. 1 here was one pure spot, he said, in j the darkness of his life. lie had loved and his love had been returned. “I did not know there was such lovlinc9s on earth,' 1 said the dying soldier, until 1 met Helen Conyngham. I have her picture here nnd you shall judge of her yourself.” Here, with a painful effort, he drew out a portfolio from under his pillow ami gave it to the Major. “Her i letters arc here, too—do what you will with the picture nnd the letters, and only write to her and tell her that I gave her my last thoughts nnd all my love.” At intervals he filled in the rest of the story. The girl whom he loved had forgiven him again and again for h's wanderings nnd had tried to help him j build up his shattered life. At last she had applied the heroic remedy and sent him a letter to shv that she would not consent to see him again until ho could come to her “clothed and in his right mind.” “She was right. Major, and I say now and 1 will 6ay with my last breath, God bless her for her sweet laithfu.ness to duty.” In a desperate mood Herbert Jauvrin had sold his commission, taken steamer for America aud for a while had passed a life of gay dissipation in New York aud other American cities. At last the in evitable crisis came. Ilis money hud gone and so were the friends of his butterfly summer. When his last dollar had been spent he enlisted in a regiment then at the front, in the hope that a friendly bullet would soon end his troubles. The bullet had come all too soon, and had found him realizing in his life as a private soldier whit Helen Conyngham had tried to impress upon him about faithfulness to duty. It was hard for him, he said, hut no doubt it was better for her. Only she would he glad to hear that he had died a soldier’s death. The Major tried to speak encouraging words when he hade the soldier good night, but even then he feared that they might never meet again in life. Indeed, when he went to the hospital tent next morning the death dew was on Private Jauvrin’s forehead and he could only speak in the faintest whisper and with catohes of breath as he asked him lo pray for him. Major F.ste9 knelt beside the dying man and in low tones uttered the Lord’s Prayer, holding the clammy hands clasped in his own. “Thank you—am I dying now?’’ were the next words. The Major could not speak. He only looked sadly into the eyes of the private soldier who in a brief minute was to know the secret of the eternities. There must then have come some sweet if sad remembrances of home and human love to have prompted the last request of a soldier who was known as the bravest of the brave. “Will you kiss me?” Major Estes kneeled down and pressed his-iijis to the chill lijrs that could mnke uo response, and when he had wijied away his tears the man he had kissed was dead. They buried Herbert Jauvrin in the little cemetery of the Cavalry Corps on the banks of the Appomattox. But his ashes do not repose there. They rest under a c stly monument in the parish church of his fathers in England, and under his name is the legend: “Dead on the field of honor.” When Ma or ICstes, after his return to camp, opened in the secrecy of liis tent the little portfolio which Herbert Jauvrin had bequeathed to him he had no pre monition that literally he held bis fate in his own hands. There was a locket of Etruscan gold in one of the packets, and when he had opened it he held it before him as if he had been turned to marble by the sight. The face was beautiful beyond anything he had ever seen—at least, so it seemed to him. Golden hair and blue eyes and the mouth of Hebe, intellect and health and grace were there, and with comparable beauty a firmness as gentle as velvet and as hard as iron. As he gazed he understood the whole story of the hapless love which had ended so disastrously and yet not hopo lessly. The letters of Helen Conyngham were a further revelation of her sweet woman liness. They pleaded with a pathetic simplicity for the better life of the man she loved, but she never for a moment concealed from him or from herself the fact that she could never marry a man who voluntarily debauched himself from the high standard she had set Even her last edict of banishment was only a plea for her lost love’s redemption. It was a painful task to write to the relatives of Herbert Jauvrin—most pain ful of all to break tlio news of his death to the woman he had loved. The Major inclosed her own letters to Miss Conyng ham—all except a little formal note ac- j eepting an invitation to drive, though why he had retained this he could not explain to himself. The locket he prom ised to forward by friends who were go ing to England. Somehow the locket did not go, and ! it would have puzzled his friends had he been killed and this unknown face found among the papers he always car ried with him. He came to regard it as his tutelary divinity and had a faint su perstition that it rendered him imper vious to bullets. At any rate, he found it easy to make excuses for its detention j in the correspondence which passed be tween the original and himself, and , which he found so pleasant that he con tinued it long after the close of the war. Finally Major Estes wrote that he had been appointed consul to one of the cities of England and that he would take an early opportunity to restore the por trait in person. When the portiere that covered the entrance to one of the handsomest houses in Cheltenham had been pushed aside and Helen Conyghum, magnificent in her beautv, entered, Major Estes’s heart beat so hard that he could scarcely speak, and, indeed, he never knew what he did say. What his heart was saying was, “My queen.” For It fell down and j worshipped her then and there and COVINGTON. GEORGIA. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28. 188!). never swerved afterward from Its al legiance. They were soon well acquainted these two— and though the Major fell in love ut once, or rather recognized at once the fai t that lie had been in lovo ever since he opened tiro locker, it was long before he dared think that he was specially fa vored by her and longer still before lie dared to speak. It was the dead soldier who gave tho Major his wife. They often spoke of him. Tho English maiden loved to lieur him tell of his battles and campaigning, nnd fancied that it was not because tire Major was a hero in her eyes, wli le he, modest man, nover dreamed of exalting his own deeds. Indeed, with a girlish hashftrlncss,he had never told of the ki*s li" had giving the dying soldier; it had seemed sacred to himself and the (lend. One evening they wandered in the old English garden at the back of the mansion in Cheltenham, and there, as they stood under the shnde of a great oak, Major Estes recounted the whole scene. When ho had finished both of her hands were in Ins and she was weep ing. “I have never kissed anybody since,” lie said. “I promised myself in my tent that night that the next kiss I gave would ho to my promised wife. Helen —” Beside himself with love he drew her toward him, und to his amazement she made no resistance. The next moment she was in his arms, and before a word had been spoken by either he had kissed her as man kisses woman hut once in a lifetime. When people ask Major Estes what was the most remarkable incideut he met with in the war he always says: “The good fortune that gave me my wife.” And the golden Tinned matron who it the crown and glory of his household, and who is the most loyal of American wives, is never weary of talking and hearing of the days of the war. If the spirits of the dead are allowed to mix themselves with the turmoil ol our lives Herbert.lauvrin must he happy in seeing the happiness wrought out by the soldier's kiss.— The Mercury. The First Inauguration Ball. The first inauguration ball known tc American history took place at the initiation of General Washington’s first Presidential term, on March 4, 1789. The records as to this event are very plain and numerous. W. L. Store, in his “History of New York City,” for instance, tells of the great popular demonstration of joy on this occasion. The inauguration ceremonies and all the festivities connected with it took place in New York city, aud the fireworks and illuminations on the evening of March 4 were of an unparalleled splendor. Of the ball itself this author says: “The ball was truly an elegant en tertainment. The old “City Asst rnbly Rooms,” in which it took place, were in a large wooden building standing upon the s:te of the old City Hotel. In addi tion to the distinguished few for whom it was given it was honored by the Vice- President. the Speaker of the Ilouso and most of the members of both branches of Congress, Governor Clinton, ( han celor l.udington, Chief Justice Yates, of New Yoik, John Jay, General Knox, Mayor Duane, Baron Steuben, the French and Spanish Ambas sadors, General. Hamilton and many other distinguished gentlemen, both Americans and foreigners. There was much attention paid to General Washington and to the wife of the President on this occa sion, and there was more of etiquette iu the arrangements for this complimentary ball than was thought to be exactly consistent with our republi can institutions, and more, in fact, than was altogether agreeable to the feelings of him in whose honor it was given. The costumes e cn to be worn by the gentlemen on this occas on had been minutely prescribed by the managers, Colonel Humphries and Colonel William 8. Smith. They had to dance with small swords on. Each gentleman, on taking a partner to dance, was to lead her to the sofa on which tbs President and his lady were seated, and to bow low to them. This ceremony of respe t had to be repeated before each couple again took their seats The decorations of the assembly-room were truly splendid aud very tastefully disposed.” On this occasion and on many previ ous and subsequent occasions George Washington and Lady Washington, as his wife came to be popu arly known throughout the length and breadth of the Bepublic, danced the menuet or min uet— Chicago Herald. The New Japanese Minister. Tho new Japanese Minister, Mr Mutsu, has one of the most bcuutiful homes aud interesting households in Washington. His wife is a bright and refined woman, but a little timid beeausse she does not speak English. He is a scholarly man and well informed concerning the affairs of the United States and politics of Europe, as well as topics connected with his own country. He talks English but little, but is improving rapidly by ex perience. They have three children,two sons and a daughter fourteen years old, who is now at school in this city, auil has for a companion, Miss Kuki, the daughter of the former Minister. It is a custom in Japan for ricli men who have no children of their own to adopt them, and Mr. Fura Kawa, a gentleman of enormous wealth, has adopted Mr. Mutsu’s eldest son, a young man eighteen years old, who has taken tho name of his adopted father, although he is living at present with his natural father, the Minister, and studying law at Columbia College in this city. Mr. Sato, the Secretary of Legation, was educated at Grecncastle, Ind., and speaks English fluently. Chicago Hews. Where Lodgers are Iltiug Up to Sleep. Plunging about on the levee in the blackness the other night a reporter dis covered a retreat, the novelty of which knocked him all in a heap. It was a lodging house but there were no beds. The guests did not recline on the floor either, nor were they hungup on hooks, and yet they slept. The room was per haps seventy live feet deep by twenty wide. About throe feet from tlio wall, and extending around it, was a rope fastened to posts placed at intervals. It was about five feet from the floor and was slightly slack. Underneath it were other ropes similarly stretched, the whole resembling a rope fence. With their backs to this support, and with both arms thrown over it to keep from falling, were twenty-two persons, mostly colored, but among them were several wretched white men, and all were sleep ing soundly. The placo was dimly lighted, and the old darkey proprietor sat patiently waiting for more guests to arrive. His charge for lodging, or rather to hang on the ropes all night, is but five cents.— Louietille-Courier ■Journal. WASHINGTON PHOTOGRAPHED. IETTINO READY NOR HARRI SONS IN AUQ URA TION. VONMItKHM.

The traditions of the Prussia* court, army and civil service, favor an honor able and even severe parsimony. An Irishman of the last generation who died rich found that even when be had late in life acquired money be had not the heart to spend it; he “could not,” he said, “get the chill of early poverty out of his bones.” Prussia is the same—she □ever forgets her poverty of origin; she Barries into the care of imperial finance the Brandenburg traditions of economy. She Is even proud of them. A touching storv in illustration is told of the Em peror William I. After paying n visit to the house of ono of his generals hecom pla ned on his return to his aide de camp that his study was dimly lighted com pared with the rooms in which his sub ject lived. “That,” said the aido-de- Bsmp, “arises simply from the fact that the general burns mineral oil which gives i better light than the colza oil used by your Macsty.” “Then use the other oil,” said the Emperor. But, after a few days’ trial, the new lamps went wrong every night, and the smell was bad. At first the aide-de-camp could not under stand it until the confidential valet of the Emperor explained that it was all bis Majesty’s fault; whenever ho left his study he turned the lamp low. The aide de-i amp ventured to point this out to the Kaiser. “I have done it. all my life,” was his reply. “When, after Jena, we were very poor, my mother never left the room without doing it herself or asking us to do it for her. 1 now do it iu memory of her aud of those hard times.” “Yes, your Majesty,” was tho reply, “it may be done with colza oil, but "it makes mineral oil smell.” “Then burn colza oilagain, for I will not give up the practi e of my life.” This is tho spirit that still animates tne Hohenzol lerns anil all their subordinates. —London Telegraph. A Cure for Stooped Shoulders. How often one bears the remark: “What a fine, big fellow Mr. So aud-so would be if be didn’t stoop?” And still such a misfortune can easily be cured. The stooping figure and halting gait, accompanied by the unavoidable weak ness of the lungs, can be attended to and finally cured by the very simplo and easily performed exercise of raising one’s self upon the toes in a perfectly per pendicular manner several times da ly. To take this exercise properly one must take a perfect position, with the heels to gether and the toes at an angle of forty live degrees. Then drop the arms life lessly by the sides, animating and rais ing the che-t muscuiariy to its full ca pacity; the chin should be well drawn iu and the crown of the head feeling as if attached to a string suspended from the ceilingabove. Slowly raise upon the balls of both ieet to the greatest possi ble height, thereby exercising nil the muscles of the legs and body; this done, then reassuming the standing position without swaying the body backward out ot the perfect line. Repeat thisexerciso first on one foot aud then on the other. The result will be a surprise to many to know what a powerful straightening-out power this exercise has upon round and 6tooped shoulders, and it will soon be apparent that tho lungs will begin to tiiow expansive £ development.— thiUk ielphia Telegraphy
