Pat (.Cleburne-
Here is a touching and character
istic story told ot.ibis brave, hervic
and lamented soldier by a corres
pondent of the Courier Journal:
Tho revival of tho history of
flood’s Tennessee campaign re
calls a circumstance of tho bloodiest
battle, considering time and num
bers of tile engagement,|of the war.
The morning after Franklin I came
upon the body of General Pat Cle -
burne, among others that had been
removed to our temporary hospit
als. There whs a largo red silk
handkerchief tied loosely about tho
neck, and his feet bare to tho socks.
Remarking on tho shame of tho
thing, that a Confederate soldier
should have thus robbed the dead
body of glorious old Pat Cleburne,
en officer standing by, whom I took
to be of the dead soldier’s stall’, re
plied that the body had not been
molested, lie related that on tho
previous aforooon, a few minutes
before wo were called into lino of
battle General Cleburne had corno
upon otto of his command, limping
along tho line, his foet cut by the
sharp rocks. The brave general at
once dismounted, and, against the
protest of the foot soro private and
aero, stripped tho boots from his
feet and made tho soldier put. them
on his own. It was by such acts as
this that Gen Cleburne ondoared
himself to his command; and thus
it happened that he went iuto the
bloody charge at Franklin in his
sock foet, and, gallantly leading tho
charge, fell in front of his columns.
As he lay there, cold in death, with
tliis evidence of heroic self-abnega
tion, l thought I never looked up*
on a figure ol more heroic mold and
instinctively recalled tho linos of
Bulwer:

The Missing Link-
Prof E I) Copo, of Philadelphia,
has secured tho skill of an extinct
monkey, which lie thinks fulfills in
a remarkable degree tho condition
ol the missing link between man
and tho lower animals. It is not
larger than tho skull of a small
ground-squirrel, and belongs to a
species of marmoset It was foiled
iu the valley of Big Horn river,
Wyoming Torrytory. The profes
sor Says:
This skull is remarkably similar;
in miniature, of course; lo the hu
man skull. The bruin space is re.
rnarkibly large, and is, in fact, sev
eral time i larger than tho brain
space of any of tho skeletons of an
imuls of the same period of time.
Tito characteristics of the formation
of the human skull are clearly defi
ned—so clearly as to ho remarka
ble. The teeth are all the "same
as ltumrn teeth, while the jaw has
many strong points of similarity. I
consider this skull ns tho earliest
indication of the oxistauco of man.
It is anew species of a familiar
class, and has hitherto been un
known to scientists.
A i.ew act of new ligliln have dlscov.tr
od tbiit mopquitocß contain largo quan
tities —equal to 70 per cent. of their
balk of quinine, and wlieu they bite
they bite they inject quantities of this
animal quinine into the wound made.
The same h vans have discovered that
the bite oi bed bugs, which are regirded
as so great an annoyunce in our houses
is an antidote for rheumatism. But af
ter all, may not theso things be so? We
ha?e often wondered, what in the world,
mosquitoas and bed bugs were made lor
and the answer may' be right hero at
hand. Yet we do not liks either, bed
bugs or skeeters,

Less than two millions of bushels
of oats were raised in Georgia in
1870, Ten years later tho product
in one year was over five millions
of bushels.
It appears from the accouuts of
the Paris Jardin des Plantes that
the current price of an elephant is
12 500 francs; of a royal tiger 7,000
francs;of a rhinoceros, 13 00 francs;
of a camel, 2,000 francs.
The Chronicle’s lazy man has
this to say: I notice the passage
of Georgians to Texas. It is mere
ly an effort to find a soft berth, to
get something for nothing. I heard
of a young man of one of the best
portions cf Georgi i, who ran off to
the gold fields of Colorado. lie
has returned after five years of ex
perience, snd all he claims as tho
net proceeds is, that he bad a good
deal of fuD, If a man has the ele
ments of success in him, Georgia is
tho place for him to rea : ize it; and
if he has not, it will be only an ac
cident that enables him to rise in
Texas or anywhere else,

The Atlanta exposition cost a hundred

But it was money well invested in de

Fixing the Year-
In one of the justice’s court tho
other day, in a suit of malicious
trespass in entering upon land and
removing a fence, one of tho wit
nesses’asked:
Did you help build that fence?
I did.
What year was it?
Whell, let's sec, It was the some
year my brother-in-law had his leg
broke in a wrestling match at Dear
born.
Well, what time was that?
Let's sec! It was just six months
after we found the Duggan boy
drowned in Sabin's well. Tuat
was—that was in eighteen hundred
and—and
Can't you remember?
Why, yes, I ought to. Lot's
sec. That same year wo took tho
Duggan boy out of the well Ty
ler's second girl started to run
away with a tin peddler and we
caught them just the other sido of
Dearborn. I squared off euj the
peddler and knocked him eighteen
feet into tho bus tcs.
But what year tvas J.it that you
built the fence?
Why. tho sarao year that all this
happened, or may be a year before
after. If I could talk with my
old woman a mitiulo I could get it
exact.
flow?
—Why, i was building the last half
of that fence when she was hooked
by a oow, and she'd hunt op tho
man who owned tho beast and hit
the dato square in the head.
It, was decided to let the exact
date remain in seclusion, —Detroit

All Exposition Joke.
Covington Star.
Otic of iho latest jokes about the
exposition is that ol a young lady
who does not live a thousand miles
from here. ISlio was returning
homo from tho exposition on a
crowded train, and was obliged Lo
stand up until a polite gentleman
offered her half of Ins scat.. T hey
soon became agreeable companions
and wore chatting away very socia
bly, when the young lady suddenly
discovered site had lost her poekel
boolt. .Site accused tho gentleman
of havingpicked her pocket. Ho
smolo a ghastly smile, and asked
her if Iter if ho looked like a pick
pocket. She thought lie did. Ho
proposed to assist her in searching
for tho lost treasure. She soon
found it upon her own person. Of
course slto was ready to a; ologize
to the geutleman, who had given her
half his seal, for tho groat injustice
she had done him, by accusing bitn
of stealing her pockotboak. It
then turned out that tho gentloman
wflfc a Methodist preacher, and was
on bis way to the south G onria
conference. And then the front
curtain was rolled down upon the
bewil lering scene amid tumultuous
silence,
Using Goats to Protect Sheep
From Doos.—-Te farmers of Ilun
derton and Somerset counties, New
Jersey, use goats to protect their
sheep from dogs. Two goats can
drive away a dozen dogs, and two
lire about all each farmer puts in
with his sheep. As soon as a dog
enters the field at night tho goats
attack him, and their butting pro
pensities are too much for the ca
nine, who soon finds himself roll
ing over and over. A few repiti
tions of this treatment cau-cs the
dog to quit tho field, limping and
yelling. Fortunately, when a dog
entered a sheep field at night (he
sheep would run wildly around
and cry pitously. Since the’goats
have been used to guard them they
form in line behind tho goats, and
seem to enjoy the fun. The idea
of utilizing goat in this way carno
from the west whoro they are put
in sheep pens to drive away the
wolves.
