J I AT a meoting of {1M Salvation Army i'v in Washington the other day, Gen. ys •; William Booth, the Commander-in- p ̂ diH «> impressed one well-dressed old '#Wrtleman that he rushed tip to the v : platform, his eyes streaming with tears, L •. and taking a good gold watch and chain kjV.v- ^rom his vest gave it aa a thank offer­ ing for his own oon version. GBK. CASSIUS M. CUT, of Madison |gCounty, Ky., who has announced him- |p,, • s< self as a ^Republican candidate for Gov- £* , ernor, is 76 years of age. He graduated " • at Yale in 1832, and became one of the ||v most noted leaders and agitators of the W' anlfrslavery period. Thirty-six years v*' ~ , ago he received 4,000 voles as the abo- : lition candidate for Governor of Ken- tacky; was a Major General in the Fed- | ©ral army during the early part of the war, and was Minister to Buscria from r 1868 to 1869. k •S~-£. > -v -,V MB. S. H. PULESTON, the millionaire member of Parliament who is about to purchase two million dollars worth of Pennsylvania coal lands, was twenty years ago a reporter on a small paper at Pittson, Pa. lie took an active in­ terest in local politics there and ulti­ mately got a good position in Washing­ ton, D. C. He never was naturalized as an American citizen. Tt is said that there is a venerable and unsatisfied judgment standing against him at Wilkesbarre, Pa., for $20, the* amount ^ V of a store bill contracted inhis poverty- c ( stricken reportorial days. THE Wakulla (Fla.) Times has this ^.paragraph: "Upon the mantel of our sanctum can be seen the skull and jaw- ^ bone of a supposed prehistoric giant. It was excavated from a mound on the ! sea coast by Henry Gwaltney. The ; under jaw is twice as large as that of the largest man of the present decade. The most remarkable fact was the per­ fect state of preservation of the teeth; they were perfectly sound, with the ex­ ception of one that was slightly de- * cayed, and not one missing. Evidently ~ the fellow would have weighed at least three or four hundred pounds. The thickness of the skull is simply wonder­ ful." - . GEORGE WASHINGTON SIMS, of Moun- tainbury, Ark., was, it is stated, born : on January 14, 1777. He* was with N Jackson's baggage wagon in 1812, and met with an accident by the giving way v of a bridge. He was badly hurt, lost a ^ portion of his lip, fractured his skull and dislocated his left shoulder. He underwent an operation, and a piece of « his skull bone about the size of a 25- cent piece was removed. The loss . caused him no inconvenience, he made t\ a speedy recovery and in 1849 made a p. trip to Colorado, suffering the hardships v incidental to pioneers. He is still hale and hearty, can kill a duck at any di» ; tance within the range of his gtin, and - is a first-class rifle shot. sir T THE latest method of identifying prisoners which has been introduced iff-* »>" - into France by M. Alphonse Bertillion, •* and which is now successfully practiced not only in the chief French prisons, but in Russia and Japan as well, is the exact measurement of the prisoner on ; his arrival at the jail. His waist, the | length and width of the head, the left middle finger, the left foot, the out stretched arms, the three other fingers ' of the left hand, the left arm from the ^ elbow to the wrist, and the length and width of the ear are measured, and the color of the eyes and any particularities i are noted down. A photograph is also 1 immediacy taken, and by these means the many mistakes which have been ? made by trusting to a photograph only are avoided. THE testimony in a $5,000 breaoh-of- pr»mise suit of Miss Jennie Davenport, . of Bloomingdale, N. J., against Louis }: Everson, throws considerable light on IS the art of kissing by telegraph. Jen-' s: i Bie, who was employed as a companion ' to young Byerson's mother, occupied the room immediately above the young man, and the two constructed a tele­ graph line, a cord answering for the short circuit. A tiny bell was attached to each end. The tingling of the bell - was used to represent a kiss, and when they bade each other good night the bells rattled for hours at a tiire. The fair plaintiff said as she enthusiastically described a the schemes to outwit the , old people: "Louis insisted on tele- v graphing our kisses every night, and oh! but didn't he want a lot of them!" AN interesting operation of flesh- grafting, which was one of the dis­ coveries of M. Paul Bert, has just been performed by a young French surgeon, A named Dr. Dubousquet-Labordiere. A workman had his foot scorched by 1: molten iron, and the skin was destroyed cover a surface of about eight inches by Jfour. Dr. Dubousquet took four strips " *of flesh from the thigh of a young man \ and four from a frog and transferred f -AV,\ them to the wound. By great care the < . . ^ wound healed in a few days. The . t cicatrice obtained by the frog's skin was ' soft, elastic, and inodorous; that from fe^human flesh was a little strained, harder, and produced irritation on some points, i. ' The patient has now been able to re- •, -^sume his occupation. The result of the .^operation is of great importance in - \.y jShowing the superiority of frog skin, p .1 . while on the other hand human flesh is 'not always to b9 had in sufficient quan- ig^g iities for burns or wounds of any size, and the dissection of stripsisivery ^painful. IT was a queer-looking tiling that and between ©lock dial. A icator like a clock hand was to the side of the pan and fiittMi& to the shape of the coffee cup or cathedral dosn. The coffee cup was illuminated and there came from within a merry ticking sound. The coffee cup revolves with the mechanism and the indicator stands still. The illumination comes from a little lamp inside the dome that consumes a penny's worth of oil burning all night. The time of night, or day, for it may be used with­ out the lamp, can always be seen at a glance. A simple attachment fits over the coffee cup dial, to use for giving medicine. It is a little indicator placed on the minute for next giving medicine and moves around with the dial to the pointing hand. The clock will never be popular with gentlemen who are interested in "lodge" and "club" meet­ ings. . "THE present Amir of Afghanistan," says the London Standard, "is a moat energetic ruler. Since Abdurrahman ascended the thxone, and especially since we met the Viceroy at Rawal Pindi, civilization has wonderfully ad­ vanced in Afghanistan. European man­ ufacturers and customs have been in­ troduced to an extraordinary extent, and in a few years' time the State will hardly be recognizable at the present rate of progress. The Ami? supervises all the Government machinery person­ ally, even descending to such details as the packing of lamps for export. He retires late and does not rise early, but gets through an immense deal of busi­ ness between 10 and 4 p. m., presiding twice a week at public dusbars for the administration of justice. The Gov­ ernor of Cabul--the Kotwar--every night brings him four registers of the day's offenses, containing respectively the names of those who are to lose their property, those who are to be fined, imprisoned,or are guilty of death, and the Amir looks carefully into each case. No soldier can have a day's leave without direct permission from the Amir, who also sets down separately every item of the expenses of himself and household." "I NEVER see any ghosts or on the track," said an old, grizzled en­ gineer on the Northwestern road, to a Chicago Herald reporter, "but there's a spot a piece up the track that I never pass without feeling sort of uneasy. Seven years ago I was coming into town at a pretty lively trot when Jake, my fireman, who was on the lookout, yelled to me that there was something on the track. Although it was late in the even­ ing and rain was falling furiously, I could, see a dark object on the track at the Ashland avenue orossing. I gave the whistle lever a yank, reversed the engine, and sanded the track, but all to no purpose. We were going too fast to make a quick stop, and in less than five seconds the engine shot into the obstruction, if such it may be called, and hurled it to one side. As we sped by I heard a scream and saw a girl dancing wildly on the sidewalk. As soon as we came to a full stop I found that we had run into a baby carriage which a servant girl had abandoned in her fright at the fast approaching head­ light of the engine. The child ? Poor thing, it was crushed like an egg-shell. Every time I pass that crossing I see the little white face and the 'broidered dress all stained with red. Even the old engine seems to tremble as she wheels over the spot. To me this stretch of track is the worst on the whole line. 1 Other engineers have their wicked rails farther out of town."

On 'jtop was an inverted coffee cup made of * fjgtound glass, around which were /painted in big blaok Arabic figures the FRENCH FUN. A YOUNG physician had jnst settled in a country town. One of his first visitors was a gentle­ man very neatly dressed. "Doctor," he said, "will' it be agree­ able to you to make the same arrange­ ment with me that your predecessor did? I gave him so much for every patient he sent me." "Oh! you are the druggist, then.* "No, I am the undertaker." AN ingenious advertisement. The citizen of a small sea-coast town in the west of France, not as yet much patronized by summer visitors, devised the following announcement as likely to attract bathers: "Great Attraction! s . "On Sunday next about 3 p. m* "An enormous Whale will be sttanded on the Beach." IT appears that marriages between brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law are lawful in France under the Code Civile, which the first Napoleon had so im­ portant a' share in framing. When this section was under con­ sideration the Emperor was strongly in its favor, and used his argument against those who opposed its adoption. "Gentlemen," said he, "a widower who marries again runs the risk of having two mothers-in-law, while the man who marries his sister-in-law pan only have one." The reasoning was considered con­ clusive, and the clause was retained. A LOAFER was run in by the police. "What were you doing stretched out on a bench in a public thoroughfare at that time of night?" asked the magis­ trate. "Me? Oh! I was awaiting the solu­ tion of the Bulgarian difficulty." What Constitutes a Love Match. "I hear Gus Do Jones is going to be married." "Yes; he is." "To the rich Miss Brown, they tell me." "That's the lady." "She's not very handsome, either,'* "Not to speak ot" "Why do you suppose he is marry­ ing her ?" 'It's a love match,* 'Oh, pshaw!" ,e, , 'Fact, I assure you. "Lore match, pure and simple." "You don't believe that?" "Yes, I do. She is in love with him and he is in love* with her money."-- Pittsburgh Dispatch. "WHY," asked a lady ot an old judge, "why cannot a woman become a suc­ cessful lawyer?" "Because," answered the judge, "she is too fond of giving her opinion without pay."

"Somebody's guns thundered away for a few short minutes, and then oame the fitful rattle of musketry; and before I could again get into the saddle there arose the ceaseless roar of the terrible storm. "I sent out my chief of staff, CoL Asmussen, who was the first officer to mount--'the firing is in front of Dev- ens; go and see if all is in order on the extreme right.' He instantly turned and galloped away. I mounted and set off for a prominent place in rear of Schurz's line, so as to change front to the northwest of every brigade south­ east of the point of attack, if the at­ tack extended beyond Devens' right flank; for it was divined at once that the enemy was now west of him. I could see numbers of our men--not the few stragglers that always fly like the chaff at the first breeze, but scores of them--rushing into the opening; some with arms and some without, running or falling before they got behind the cover of Devens' reserves, and before Gen. Schurz's waiting masses could de­ ploy or charge. The noise and the sm okefilled the air with excitement, an d to add to it Dieckmann's guns and caissons, with battery men scattered, rolled and tumbled like runaway wagons and carts in a thronged city. Tbe guns and the masses of the right brigade struck the second line of Devens before McLean's front had given way, and, quicker thau it could be told, with all the fury of the wildest hailstorm, everything, every sort of organization that lay in the path of the mad current of panio-stricken men, had to give way and be broken into fragments. "My own horse seemed to catch the fury; he sprang, he rose high on his hind legs and fell over, throwing me to the ground. My aid-de-camp, Des- sauer, was struck by a shot and killed, and for a few moments I was as help­ less as any of the men who were speed­ ing without arms lo the rear. But faithful orderlies helped me to re­ mount. "I rode quickly to the reserve batte­ ries. A staffofflcer of General Hooker, Lieutenant Colonel Dickinson, joined me there; my own staff gathered around me. I was eager to fill the trenches which Barlow would have held. Baschbeck's second line was or­ dered to change front there. His men kept their ranks, but at first they ap­ peared slow, 'Will they never get there!' "Dickinson said, 'Oh, General, see those men coming from that hill way off to the right, and there's the enemy after them. Fire, oh, fire at them; you may stop the flight!' " ' No, Colonel,' I said, ' I will never fire on my own men!'*--Gen. O. O. Howard. The Usual Awful Result. Jones--You remember there were thirteen at the table at dinner at my house last night ?| Brown--Yea. Jones--Well, young De Peyster died this morning. • Brown--My! Is that possible!
