Gordon l'iess: A school teacher not far
from Gordon a short while since gave out

“next" every time and pass tbe word ou.
In a class of abmt fourteen every boy
spelled the word differently, but the climax
was capped when it came the turn of the
last little fellow. He was a bright chap,
and began to grow impatient before his
time caine, and fear lest borne one wouid
spell it correctly bofore him. However, at
the projier time he straightened himself
up, and, with a bright srailo upon his face,
began to spell in a loud and distinct tone of
voice, “q-u n-t-t-e—cat!” He was put at
the head of the c.ass for his originality.

* A man who lives now in Jackson county
has been drawing a pension from the state
since 1879 for the lc of an arm. He en
listed in Company B. First Georgia regi
; merit. His affidavit state* that this arm
was lost at the second battle of Manassas.
By the merest accident in the world this
claim was brought to the attention of Capt.
F. M. Myers of Atlanta and others. T.ey
remembered the ma > and the particulars of
the loss of his arm. He deliberately snot ctf
hie hand in order 'o get out of the -e.-vlce.
That was in August, 1861. Three arfi
-1 davits to that effect from two officers
and one private in that command —are
; now filed a way in the executive department,
awaiting tbe pensioner's applicati on for a
pension this year. Still another case is that
of a man who lost a log in a railr ad acci
dent at Jonesboro, and has been drawi g a
pension on tbs sirongto of the ilfllavit,
vouched for in due form, that he lost his
leg in battle. Another is a man with an in
j red eye. The injury, which he claim' was
recived in service, was really rtodved in a
blacksmith's shop before the war, and
the man never was in the army. Stiil
another case is that of a man living in
DeKalb couuty. He got two doctors to ex
amine him and make affidavit as to his con
dition. This affidavit was not strong
enough to secure the pension, so a i At
lanta doctor inserted words and sig led tfce
amended affidavit himself. This gave it j
the proper appearance, making a strong
elai n, signed by three physiciaus. The
two DeKalb county physiciaus learned
that the man was drawing a pension, and
upon examination of t ie affidavit they were
supposed to have signed, di-covered that it
had been materially changed, and so noti
fied the department. Of course that man
won’t draw any pension this y< a .
Atlanta Constitution: Oae of the city
street sweepers at Atlanta is an old rnau
named A. Burns. Mr. Burns has led an
almost uneventful life eince he first came to
Atlanta twenty years ago. Hut one inci
dent has occurred m his career in wnica he
and Jay Qouid were the principal figures,
a id Mr. Burns relates it with inucn unction.
He came to tbiscountry somo thirty-five or
forty years agi, when a lad of fifteen, and
was uaturaliy ratner green—no pun about
his having been born on tbe Emerald isle
intended. He drifted into Pottsville, Pa.,
aud went to work as a laborer for Jay
Gould, who had the contract for building
the Land Patch railroad out of that pilot
One day, while at work, Mr. Burn* found a
box by the roadside, securely fasteued.
Gould had been away on a pay trip and the
rumor reacned Pottsville that ha had been
killed aud robbed of a box con
taining *50,000. The truth was that
bis horse had ran away and
Gould was pretty badlv hurt In body. To
this bodily pain was aided the mental an
guish occasioned by the loss of the stout
Dix containing his money. Burris, who
did not know what the box he had found
contained, lost no time in carrying it to his
employer, who was si overjoyed at tho safe
return of the money that he rewarded
Burns with *509 cash. He furthermore
paid Burns' boa and for one year, aud told
tbe latter he would make a man of him if
he stayed with him. But Burns became
restless and drifted away. For some time
his old employer kept track of him and f-e
--quently gave him money. But after awhile
Gould lost sight of him, and Burns in the
course of time drifted to Atlanta. He saw
Gould when there last week, and says there
Is but little change iu the wizard’s appear
ance from the time when be was an ohsetire
railroad contractor, except that he has
grown grayer,

l'uo return of Gould to this city this morning
in, as far as can be learned, his normal c ndi
tion of health has stopped all influence from
the rumors of his serious indisposition, and
this, together with the tendency among all
class-s of operators to await the adjournment
of c ingress before taking any actiouln a specu
lative way, intensified the prevailing dullness
in the stock market t>-day, and the trading
was the smallest for any day for a long time.
Tue traders who expected to make demonstra
tlon against the market on the strength of a
bad bank statement were headed off, and
nothing was done beyond the usual ordinary
transactions. There were a few movements of
importance, however, among which an advance
of per cent la Susquehanna and Western
preierred and 2 per oent. tn Oregon Improve
ment were tbs most prominent, though the
former lost 1 per cent, lu the final dealings. In
dustrials were also moved about more than the
regular list, and the new Sugar stock, after a
fractional decline, moved up over 1 percent,
but closed slightly lower than last evening.
Among the general Ust the strongest stocks
were Western Onion. Wheeling and Lake Erie
preferred, Missouri Pacific, and Louisville and
Nashville. The opening was steady, but early
; deal ng* developed tom - strength, and the close
wa- generally at fractions better than last
j night's figures. The transaction* in railroad
bonds were without significance The sales of
stocks were 38.030 snares listed and 10.009
shares of unlisted.

The Nun's cotton review says: “Futures
opened t 8 points decline, closing steady at 3®
5 points deoltoe from yesterday's closing prices.
Tbe market was depressed by dull and weak
accounts from Liverpool and the excess of
511.000 bales in the visible supply of the markets
of tbe world over last year. There are neither
bulls nor bears. The market Is left to itself
and the weight of bales. Spot cotton was dull
and lower.”

HOW SOME WOhJEN DRKS3.
Intellectual Dames Are Noticeably
Careless of Clothes.
rrom the London Star.
Nearly all literary women dress badly.
Mrs. Campbeli-Praed aud Mrs. Stannard
are two brilliant exceptions. Mrs. Praed
wears gowns of the most reohercbe descrip
tion. In the evening she affects rich, deli
cate brocades. Her gowns are cut in a
simple fashion, but they are always rather
decollete. Mrs Praed’s day dresses are
modest and ladylike in tone. Mrs. Htan
nard dresses smartly. Her style is a trills
severe. She does not follow all the
of fashion. Mrs. Stannard is found of quiet
shades, and in the evening generally gives
black the preference. Anything in the way
of flummery she detests. Her day dresses
are always tailor made—well built, without
a crease or a wave anywhere. Mrs. Stan
nard does not waste money on clothes. She
ss not ashamed to admit that a few seasons
ago (liefore she was as well off as she is now)
she did eighty parties in two frocks.
Marie Corelli dresses fairly well. Being
very petite, she goes in for simple dresses.
Light blue aud pale pink are colors that be
come her fairly well. She wears both, and
sometimes comes out all in white. Marie
has a little white band with which she is
very fond of laying down the law. She bo
beves thoroughly in the “beauty sleop,"
and nothing on earth would keep her out of
Led after 12 o’clock.
Mrs. Hodgson-Burnett wears dresses that
look too youthful for her. Salmon, pink,
white, pale blue and soft yellow are the
shades that Mrs. Burnett favors most.
Literary women have mostly something
characteristic about their clothes. Some
of them go in heavily for jewelry, one or
two show a partiality for old lace, and one
lady is renowned for wearing loud colors.
At private views aud other shows she gen
erally makes a target of herself.
Mrs. Lynn-Linton always has on a black
gown and a white cap when she is at home.
She wears rich stuffs—silk, velvet, brocide
and the like. In weather like this her
outdoor garment is of sealskin. Lady Wilde
is quite the grande dame. She dresses in
handsome silks, more or less sad in color,
aud wears long trains. Her hair is dark
and luxurious, and she arranges it in a
peculiar fashion under a high head dress.
Lady Wilde has an immense partialitv for
jewelry. The most charitably disposed per
son could not say that Miss Braddon ever
wears nice clothes. She likes solid colors
and affects velvet. Her gowns have many
furbelows about them. She wears large
diamond eardrops of an evening. Miss
Braddon is a first-’ ate housekeeper. G jur
mets like her dinners mightily. Ouida
dresses absurdly. She strives after juvenil
ity always. Her hair she wears in a curly
crop bound by a band of blue ribbon. Mrs.
Walford is every inch a dowager in her at
tire. She likes heliotrope, aud the rich,
heavy materials she goes in for wohld look
better in curtains than in dresses. Mrs,
Walford is an accomplished woman. She
spi%, embroiders and paints beautifully.
