An old British army pensioner relates
this story of General “Chinese" Gordon:
On the first day on which tire was
cqKMicd at Sebastopol from the twenty
one gull battery, the sand-bags forming
one of the embrasures caught fire from
tho flash of a too-olosely mounted gnu.
A corporal and a sapper of the engineers
were told off to repair tlie damage. The
oorponil ordered the sapi>er to mount
the embrasure, and proposed They to hand up
the fresh hags to him. were under
heavy tiro at the time, and the sapper,
with some want of discipline, certainly,
demurred to this arrangement, and sug¬
gested that the corporal should get up,
and that he (the sapper) would go on
with the handing up business. There
■was a bit of a wrangle over it. Gordon,
who was passing, inquired into the
matter, and quietly telling the corporal,
“Never order a man to do what you are
afraid to do yourself,” got up on the
pile of hags himself and said, “Come up
liere, both of you,” aud then ordered
the men who were working tho gun to
hand the hags up. The storm of bullets
swept over Gordon and the two men,
but his charmed life seemed to protect
the trio. He finished his work, and
came down as coolly as he had mounted,
but the lesson was never forgotten, and
there's a fine ring about the words,
“Never order a man to do a thing you
are afraid to do yourself."
“That lady is handsome, but she looks
as if she bail a temper of her own," re¬
marked one drummer to another on a
train the other day. “You read charac¬
ter correctly,” s^ieak wtis the reply. "Why,
you as if you were acquainted
married with her’" "Well, I am. ” slightly. 1

a quarter, hair cutting fifty cent*, and any kind

Mchkf.oon, Mich., justly claims pre-emi¬
nence as the greatest lumber producing city in
the world. The total product of Muskegon
during 1883 was fi8G,079,254 feet, exceeding the
product of the Saginaw valley by several hun¬
dred millions. She-produced during the same
period 189,854,150 laths, and cut 310,491 shin¬
gles. One-fourth of the vessel traffic of fake
Michigan is transacted at Muskegon, and over
3,000 vessels were cleared from the jxirt last

At Cabanca, Sicily, the most colossal crim¬

Three hundred prisoners are on trial charged
with being members of the Madia secret society,

anarchism. About 1,500 witnesses have been
summoned for the prosecution. The defend¬
ants, many c/ them, are wealthy and influen¬
tial, anti they have engaged 112 lawyers to de¬
fund them. 'Hie government finds that it has

formed when it is stated that a New York cigar
house keeps several hands constantly busy
making innocent looking cigars with their inte¬
riors charged with gunpowder, so arranged as
to cause an explosion after the smoker has en¬
joyed two or three puffs. These cigars are
ordered from Maine to Texas, from South Car¬
olina to California. O’Donovan Itossa’s boast
that he had sent to England a lot of explosive
cigars to blow up Gladstone and his cabinet
may not be an idle one. There is ny telling
w hat damage might result from a box of cigarr
all charged with dynamite.
