| Her name -was Snlggs—It didn’t suit.
Her rieli, test he tic nature,
And so she thought 8he’d have it changed
By act of Legislature.
She sought a limb—a legal man
With lots of subtle learning.
And unto him she d'd confide
Her soul’s most painful yearning.
He heard her through, he asked her wealth,
He pondered o’er her Htory,
And then he said he would consult
His volume statutory.
She sighed and rose—he took her hand
And quickly said, ‘*IIow stupid!
I did forget the precedent
Of'Hymen vs. Cupid ’ !”
“Just substitute my name for youjs;”
TJie maiden blushed and falterec
But in two weeks she took her name
To church and had it altar’d.
Gen. LongBtreet at Home.
Chicago Times.
Twenty-five years ago Gen. James
Longstreet was a man of blood. The
one object of his life was the slaughter
of men.
What a change lias come! Perfect
peace surrounds the old soldier in the
evening of his life.
A quiet farm house stands on the
summit of a mountain ridge in North
Georgia. Before it lies the valley of
the Chattahoochee. The ground de
scends rapidly, and from the home of
Longstreet one looks down upon the
treetops. For miles and miles stretches
a restless sea of green, fanned this way
and that way by the mountain winds.
Beyond rises a range of hills, and fur
ther still are the Blue Ridge Mountains,
darkly outlined against the sky.
As I approached the house a few days
ago I saw no sign of life save a picka
ninny in ‘he horse lot, and some very
fine-looking chickens in the yard.
The large double doors at the front
of the house stood half-open. There
was no hell, so I knocked. There was
no response, so I knocked again. My
next rap, it seemed to me, was enough
to loosen the plastering in the hall
Still there was no response. At that
moment I caught sound of a snore.
“There is life in the old land yet,” I
thought, as I made an effort to awaken
the snorev.
But the more I knocked the louder
did the suorer snore. I grew tired and
quit knocking. I turned from the door
and looked upon the beautiful and
peaceful scene stretching away to where
the sky touched the mountain tops,
was so vexed that 1 wanted to throw a
rock at a mocking bird singing in a hi;
sycamore near by.
Turning to the door again I put all
my strength into one terrific crash
against the door. There was a sudden
sound as of one awakening inside the
house, and “Lee’s old war horse” came
down the hall to meet me. His hair
was silver. His whiskers were snow.
His giant figure was somewhat bent,
but his eagle eyes still flashed with the
old-time fire, and yeai-s had only deep
ened the strong lines in his face. He
was dressed for comfort. lie did not
care that his collar was awry, that liis
vest adorned a chair post, that his ala
paca coat was ripped up the hack. He
did not care that his slippers went
. “flap, flap, flap” against his heels as he
walked. I did not care, either.
“Nobody here to-day but me,” said
the old warrior, as he showed me into
the library, where lie had been sleepin
on a lounge. I spent a quiet afternoon
with my old friend. He talked to me
about war and showed me his old Con
federate uniform.
“I shall put it on some day and have
my picture taken,” he said.
“Have you had enough of war?”
asked.
“Yes, plenty on my own account,” lie
replied, “hut if France and Germany
should come to blows I would like to
go over and see Von Moltke fight.”
Gen. Longstreet is wonderfully like
that money can bring you all you de
sire, hut it can’t. That is where you
are mistaken. It can buy a good many
things, but it can never purchase con
tentment for your heart, or happiness
for your soul. It may bring temporary
smiles to your face, but it will leave
great shadows in your heart. Don’t
think that I would advise you to marry
a worthless fellow, just because, you
imagine you love him. A refined, good,
intelligent woman should never marry
a vulgar, ill-bred man. No, never unite
yourself to anyone who is not a man in
the truest meaning of the word. Neith
er would I advise a woman to marry a
man who had no visible means of sup
porting her; hut for heaven’s sake don’t
marry a millionaire or a king, if you
don’t love him. It will not do. People
have tried it time and again, only to
find it a miserable failure. It may do
for a while. You may revel in gilded
halls, and he lost in the giddy rounds
of pleasure, hut a time will come when
these things will be a hollow mockery
to you. There will be an “aching void”
the world can never’ fill. Sometimes
mothers are to blame for the unhappi
ness of their daughters. They teach
them that respect for their husbands
and lots of “boodle” are infinitely to
he preferred to that foolishness called
love. That would do very well if life
had no waves of trouble, hut it takes
omething more than simple respect to
make two hearts cling together in the
hour of adversity. A woman that turns
her hack on wealth and takes the man
of her choice may miss some of the
luxuries of life, hut she will be happy.
Don’t marry a dude. Better get you a
monkey. It is cheaper and a great
deal nicer. Don’t fool with that class
of animals. They generally wear a §4
hat on a 10 cent brain, and a woman
who takes Sne of these chaps will get
left.

friend traveling in Europe sent him a
large photograph of the German Em
peror, and Mrs. Longstreet’^ cook he
lieves to this day it is a picture of her
“Marse Jeems.”
The General’s fortune is rather small
but he lives comfortably. He divides
his time between a vineyard and a his
tory which lie is now writing. The liis
tory will be out in about a year.
will contain some very startling state
ments about the late war. The book
will bjgaiade up mainly of accounts
adventures in the wars in which Gen
Longstreet lias taken part. Gen. Long
street is charming in conversation
though he is very deaf. Mrs. Long
street is a very vivacious little lady,
and of course quite proud of the Gener
al. Her maiden name was Maria Louise
Garland, and her parents lived in Vir
ginia. Gen. and Mrs. Longstioet ha\
five children—four sons and a daughter,
The oldest son. Major John Longstreet,
was in the war at 15, and is now 37 years
old. The other sous .are Robert Lee,
born in Petersburg in 1S63; James, born
in Lynchburg in 1SG0 and Fit-z Randolph
born in Lynchburg in 1S09. The daugh
ter, Miss Maria Louise Longstreet, now
14 years old, was born in Flint? Mich.
Gen. Longstreet was horn about a mile
from Augusta, Ga., on the South Caro
lina side of the Savannah river. He is
65 years old, is in splendid health, and
bids fair to live many years yet.
will perceive, is merely a bread poul
tice, the bread being a vehicle through
whose moisture the soda reaches the
humor. I find that the washing or
bathing with soda water, even continu
ous! y, will not suffice with me. My skin
requires the heat and moisture of the
bread in order for the soda to act on
and neutralize the poison. I rarely
have need to retain this soda poultice
for more than thirty minutes on any
affected part. No pain ensues. For
merly I suffered often for weeks, as the
poison would spread all over my body.
Now, thirty minutes measure the ex
treme duration of its exhibition.

Three of the largest payments on ac
count of arrears of pensions which
have ever been made passed through
the Pension Ofiice recently. Francis
Patterson, of the 154tli New York In
fantry, who is totally blind, receives
§13,337; Walter S. Stephens, of the
Eighty-first Ohio Infantry, §12,340, and
Jacob Dingman, of the Thirty-fourth
Iowa Infantry, §12,441. Patterson’s!
claim has been pending for many years,
and l^as been twice rejected. The ap
plication in behalf of Stephens, who is
insane, was first made in 1865. He has
been bedridden for years, and his mon
ey will go for the benefit of relatives
who have been caring for him. Ding-
man’s application has been pending for
ten years. All three were printers.
They will receive §72 a month each
from this time.
Watertown’s First Boom.
Pittsburg Post.
Some five or six years ago, when
Watertown, Dak., was a new place, the
business men raised §500 with which to
build a church. A meeting was called
to talk over the plans.
“You’ve got the §500, have you?”
said Judge S. J. Conklin, who was at
that time Mayor of the city.
Got it right here,” replied the chair
man of the soliciting committee.
“It strikes me,” continued the Mayor,
‘that it is a good deal of money to put
into a church.”
“Yes, that’s so,” said another promi
nent citizen. “I suppose we can do
what we please with it.”
‘That’s it exactly,” returned Conk
lin, “and my idea is to put it into some
thing of moi’e permanent value to the
city than a church.”
“That’s my opinion, too,” said anoth
er leading citizen, “how would a school-
house do ?”
“School-house !” replied the Mayor,
what we want to put that money into
is something that will stand as a monu
ment to the liberality and public spirit
of the citizens of Watertown, and some
thing, also, which will be useful and of
lasting benefit to the place. I move
that §500 he used to lay out a four-mile
race track that shall be the finest west
of the Mississippi. If we’re boomers
let us boom!’’
They finally compromised on a mile
track and offered what money was left
as purses for the Fourth of July races
The English Magazine says that
two-thirds of the cotton-seed oil sold
in the United States goes to the makers
of lard and butterine, and its use to the
extent of about 20 per cent, has, it is
stated, been one of the most powerful
influences in reducing the price of lard.
It is also being used for cooking, and a
large proportion of the oil taken with
salads and sardines is the product of
the cotton fields. Scientific men de
clare it is perfectly wholesome, and
some even say that it is better than an
imal fats. It is estimated that not far
from 600,000 tons of cotton-seed are
used in this industry every year, and
that from 400,000 to 500,000 barrels of
crude oil are produced, half of which
is exported from the States.”
The large accumulation of the over
taxed people’s money is to be distribu
ted by the Secretary’s anticipating the
payment of coupons and bonds. It is
estimated that the surplus will he re
duced $46,000,000, which will find a
wide distribution in seeking invest
ment in various sections of the coun
try. The Augusta Chronicle says:
“There are good paying investments in
the South, and no better place than
Georgia can be found for a portion
of the millions made available for in
vestment by the cancellation of the
Nation’s debt. We are l^kking for
cheaper money for the Soutlras one of
the results of an abundance of money
at the North.”

The Mystery of the New Church.
Louisville, Ky., Commercial.
A very mysterious circumstance is
said to have occurred near Commiskey,
Jennings county, Ind., Sunday night,
July 24. About five months ago the
people of that neighborhood concluded
to build a Baptist church, as most of
them were of that faith. A collection
was taken up and the lumber procured
For a time -the work progressed very
smoothly, until it came to the raising
of a large beam, which was intended to
uphold the rafters of the structure. A
derrick lai'ge enough could not he pro
cured, and work was stopped. During
the summer nights the farmers have
frequently met to discuss some means
of raising the beam, but nothing was
ever done. On last Monday morning,
however, it was discovered that the
beam had been placed in position dur
ing the jiight by some unknown agency.
Hundreds of people gathered about the
place, and the miracle, if such it may
be termed, has created great religious
excitement in the neighborhood. There
is not the slightest sign that the work
was done by human hands, and many
imaginative people say that they heard
beautiful music and saw strange- sights
about the place on the night preceding.
No difficulty was experienced in raising
§100 to go on with the work, and it was
decided to call the new edifice “Christ’s
Own.” A. L. Bennett, who resides
nearest the church, was chosen to
preach, and the next Sunday the ser
mon will he delivered.
New York city needs about 6,000,000
postal cards a month. Chicago comes
next on the list, with about 3,000,000
cards in the same period. There are
450,000,000 postal cards manufactured
annually. The adoption of the two
cent postage did not cause any lessen
ing of the use of postal cards, hut
checked the growth of their use for
some little time. That check has been
overcome, and the public is using more
postal cards every day, the ratio of in
crease being constant and steady.

Remedy for Ivy Poisoning.

I have always been extremely suscep
tible to the poison of ivy and oak, so as
to give me great annoyance, unless it is
immediately checked on its first ap

accomplishes for me, if properly ap
plied. I make the application by satu
rating a slice of loaf broad with water,
then cover one surface With soda, and
apply to the eruption, the soda next

the animal heat, I drop water on the
outer side so as to keep it thoroughly
moistened, and dissolve the soda crys-
