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. P A the pictures of Emperor William, 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. R. D. COLE MANUFACTURING CO., NEWNAN, GEORGIA. 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.” It of 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. Every once in a while we hear of a California woman killing a hear. This is all right.’ But we challenge the world to ransack the pages of history and show where a woman has ever got away with a mouse. Hay Fever.
