̂: ' MCB»W» lpEAP RIOT. ": Mnon Stevla Deaeribcis s W. Incident. On the day of the riot (April 2,1863), Jtr. Davis said, he received word while In hk office at Richmond, that a serious disturbance, which th« M^jror and Gov. Letcher *ith the State forces under his command was entirely unable to sup­ press, was in progress on the streets. He quickly proceeded to the scene of trouble in the lower portion of the city, whither the venerable mayor had pre­ ceded him. He found a large crowd on Main Street, although the mass of the rioters were congregated on one of the aide streets leading into that thorough­ fare. They were headed by a tall, daring, Amazonian-looking woman, who had a white feather standing erect from her hat, and who was evidently directing the movements of the plunderers. The main avenue was blocked by a dray from which the horses had been taken, and which was hauled across the street, and it was'particularly noticeable that though the mob claimed they were starving and wanted bread they had not confined their operations to food supplies, but had passed by, without any effort to attack, several provision stores and bakeries, while they had completely gutted one jewelry store and liad also "looted" some millinery and clothing shops in the vicinity. At the Confederate armory in Rich­ mond were engaged a number of Armorers and artisans enrolled by Gen. Gorgas, Chief of Ordnance, to work especially for the Government. These men had been organized into a military company under the command of a Cap­ tain, whose bearing was that of a trained, sturdy soldier, accustomed to obey orders, and ready to do his duty un­ flinchingly, no matter what it might be. This company had been promptly or­ dered to the scene of riot, and arrived shortly after Mr. Davis. Mr. Davis mounted the dray men­ tioned and made a brief address to the formidable crown of both sexes, urging them to abstain from their lawless acts. He reminded them of how they had taken jewelry and finery instead of sup­ plying themselves with the bread, for the lack of which they claimed they were suffering. He concluded by say­ ing: "You say you are hungry and have no money. Here is all I have; it is not much, but take it." He then, empty­ ing his pockets, threw all the money they contained among the mob, after which he took out his watch and Baid: "We do dot desire to injure any one, but this lawlessness must stop. I will give you five minutes to disperse, other­ wise you will be fired on." The order was given the company to prepare for firing, and the grim, resolute old cap­ tain--who Mr. Davis said, was an old .resident in Richmond, but whose name he does not recall--gave his men the command, "Load!" The muskets were then loaded wilh bqck and ball cat- triges, with the strict observance of military usage, and every one could see that when their stern commander re­ ceived orders to fire he intended to shoot to kill. The mob evidently fully real­ ized this fact, and began to disperse, and before the five minutes had expired the trouble was over and the famous misnamed bread riot was at an end.-- Beauvoir letter to Richm ond Dispatch. ' Punishing an Elephant. Some elephants resemble men in their liability to sudden outbursts of passion, and in their exhibition of remorse when, the passion having subsided, they* see the results of their violent temper. An illustration of an elephant's violence and contrition is given by Gen. George Bell, in his "Rough Notes of an Old Soldier," written while he was serving in India. While the party was in camp, a Mahout went with his elephant to cut forage. As he was binding it in bundles, the elephant began to help himself and knocked about the bundles already tied up. The Mahout punished the beast for his disobedience by a blow on the shins, which so enraged the elephant that he seized the man with his trunk, dashed him to the ground and trampled him to death. No sooner had he killed his keeper than he repeated, roared and bolted for the jungle to hide himself. Six other elephants, guided by their Mahouts, followed him. On being driven into a corner he surrendered, and was led into oampa prisoner, and chains were placed on his legs.. Then came his punishment. An ele- Ehant was placed on either side, each olding a heavy iron chain. - As the dead body of the Mahout was laid on the grass before him, the elephant roared loudly, being perfectly aware of what he had done. A Mahout ordered the two elephants to punish the murderer. Lifting the two heavy chains high in the air, with their trunks they whipped him with these iron whips until lie made the camp echo with his roars of pain. He was then picketed by himself, and an iron chain attached to his hind leg, which he dragged after him on the march. } A Thief's Clever Trick. ^Phe engagement is announced of Miss Jennie Chamberlain, the celebrated American beauty, to Capt. Navlor-Ley- land of the Guards, says the New York Journal. Capt Naylor-Leyland is enormously wealthy. He has a magnificent estate in Denbighshire, Wales, where the future Mrs. Naylor-Leyland will find a rival beauty, Mrs. Cornwallis West, one of her nearest neighbors. The Naylor- Leyland s are not an old family. Both the father and mother of the captain inherited large fortunes from their fa­ thers. It was some fifteen or sixteen years ago that the Naylor-Leylands first ap- apeared in London society. They had a magnificent home in Albert Gate, overlooking Rotten Row. They did not for family reasons gain immediate en­ trance into society. Easter had come and gone but the London season was not yet in full swing. The new aspirants determined to giv$ a ball before the rush came, and an­ nounced that magnificent presents, such as diamonds, bracelets, earings set with rubies, and necklaces of pearls would be distributed at the cotillon. . Of course the value of the presents did not decrease by telling about them, and when the day of the ball arrived Lon­ don belles believed they would receive such cotillon favors as the mines of Golconda could not have supplied. The ball-room was crowded with Lon­ don's mOst fashionable belles and beaux. It pro zed a great success, and although the cotillon favor* were not as splendid as the had l>een be-scribed to be they Were very handsome. It was the fashion in those days to have dance programs, and at the Nay- lor-Leylauds' balls to every program a very handsome pencil-case was attached. When the guests were leaving they wars surprised at being asked fey a IWHIWM# [looking man in dress elothea, who istood at the foot of the staircase, to return the pencil-cases, as they were only lent by Mr. Naylor-Ley­ land. Most of the pencil-cases were re­ turned by the indignant guests, who vowed never to enter the house ftp*'", The story reached Mr. Naylor-Ley- Iand's ears and then it was discovered that the gentlemanly man in dress clothes was a well-known London : . •/ Children. " K 0 Rather bright is the average Chinese boy, an active little fellow, his almond- shaped eyes shining like a pair of jet beads, with no clothes to speak of in summer, and in winter dressed like a small edition of his father. As a baby he is called " wa-wa," a very suggestive name, and his first Chinese words are "pa" and "ma," just as though he spoke English. The first great event of his life and his first trial is when the bar­ ber is called in to shave his head. He generally proves on that occasion to be a true "wa-wa," with vigorous lungs. After this first shaving his head for several years seems to send forth what may be called "queue sprouts" in every direction and from every part of his skull where the hair ought to grow. Sometimes as many as five or six, braided and tied with a red cord, are found upon one boy. The great day of his youthful life, the day of "trousers with pockets in 'em," is when all these smaller queues are shaved off and the single queue--the queue of manhood-- is started. Chinese boys have a great many amusements open *to them. They play marbles as we do, only the marbles are rolled with the foot instead of the fin­ gers. They play a game like battle­ dore and shuttlecock, only the sole of the foot takes the place of the battledore. It is wonderful what skill they acquire ip the game and the length of time they Will keep the little tuft of feathers in the air, never allowing it once to touch the ground. Kite-flying is universal in China, though that is rather a man's amuse­ ment there. But the range of toys for children is almost endless in its variety, and while they are ruder and far cheaper than the elaborate clockwork contriv­ ances with us, they serve their purpose equally well. But boy life in China is not all made up of play. His preparation for man­ hood is made much the same as with us, and when he reaches a suitable age he is either sent to school or put to work. Schools are found in all the cities and villages, not supported by a tax, but by subscription or tuition fees, and all Chinese parents who can possibly afford it send their sons to school. The sons of the poorest peasants--poor with a poverty of which we know nothing-- may aspire to the highest offices in the state, except only the Imperial throne. - yiu^ i^not a mere tfceoty. All the office* in the gift of the Emperor are filled with the sons of common people. The pathway to these successes is edu­ cation. Hence evejry nerve is strained, every sacrifioe is made to keep the boy at school. A Strong Man. The Associated Press apnounoea the death of Calvin J. Baseliy, celebrated as the strongest man in the South. All great feats of strength, recorded in ancient histories or in modern newspa- C, became, in comparison with iby's powers, the mere sports of weaklings. On one occasion, in 1876, if we mistake not, Baseby was among the passengers of a Memphis and Lit­ tle Rock railway train. The train stopped in the Mississippi River bot­ toms, and the conductor, who came through the car where Baseby was seated, on being asked, that he did not know how long it might be before the train could proceed, that a part of a trestle had givep way and to repair the damage might be the work of several hours. Baseby, together with a nuih- ber of other passengers, got out to look at the break. It was found that a post, supporting a beam on which the rail rested, had been broken. ^ We'll have to chop down a tree and end up a log under it," said a railroad hand. "No," said Baseby, "111 hold tip the beam till the train passes over. Those who were not disposed tc laugh sneered at him; but, unruffled, he put his shoulder under the beam, and, standing on the ground, raised it into place. "Tell the engineer to go ahead," he remarked. The engineer was standing there looking at him. "Yon are a fool," said he. "That's all right," Baseby replied. "Take your train over, and we'll talk about that afterward." "Who are you ?" the conductor asked. "I am Calvin Baseby," "Jim," said the conductor, speaking to the engineer, "I know him.. Go ahead." The train moved forward. As the engine was passing over, Baseby frowned just a trifle, but by the time the sleeper came along he was smiling serenely. He was undoubtedly an able- bodied man.-- Arkansaw Traveler, SMALL SHOES FOR A Snoring Wife. A correspondent of the London Lan­ cet makes a humiliating appeal to the medical profession to tell him what he 'is to do with a lady patient on whom he j has been bestowing fruitless care and j attention for the last twenty years. This lady is an inveterate and incorrigi-1 ble snorer. Her husband has confided to the medical man that the snoring ie j "much worse lately," and that, whereas ! his helpmeet was wont to let him off, with only three or four hours of torture, she now "snores all night, and can be heard all over the house." Moreover, she frequently wakes herself with the noise five or six times in one night, and it is rare that her husband can go to sleep till 3 or 4 o'clock. Whether ahe lies high or low makes no difference-- she can sleep and snore at any time in a few minutes, and to aggravate the case she had lately taken to yawning a giyfrft deaL Happy at Last.

"Why, she won't have any other shoe but Fitem & Co's. because she can wear a size smaller of theirs than she can of any others." "Oh! but yon really dont mean to say that I could wear a wear a No. 2 of Wha;'s-his-name's make, do you ?" "Certainly you could. You see they have got a designer of patterns who is a perfect genius, and who understands the human foot the same as a school­ master does his A B Cs. He explained his system to me one day, and I find he is thoroughly posted. His idea is, in the first place, to abbreviate the longi­ tudinal pressure forward, aud then, by propelling the^lateral distention side­ ways, he of course makes the shoe a size shorter than it would have been if he had made it the full length." "Dear me! How simple that seems. And you are sure I could wear a No. 2 of this make ?" "Positive. Here is a pair. Try them on and see for yourself." " Why, these are just too nice for any­ thing. They fit perfectly. They ain't a bit tight. Are you sure they are only twos ?" "You can see for yourself. Size mark "'r. Well, I'll take this pair, and after this you won't catch me wearing any other make." This sounds like fiotion, but it is a literal fact. The conversation took place just as it is written, with the ex­ ception of the names. Although the measurements of the woman's foot called for a No. 3, she was fitted per­ fectly with a No. 2. The explanation is this: There are manufacturers who when ordering sets of lasts, instruct the sellers to deliver them unstamped. The stamping is done in the shoe factory, each last being marked a half size or a size smaller than it measures^ The up­ pers are numbered to match the lasts, and the deception is complete.--'.Shoe and Leather Reporter. j VB1CSB AMONG TBLEGR A PtffatS.

Consult Your Wife. A writer on the business interests oi the family cites a conversation between two business men concerning some busi­ ness proposition, when one of them re­ marked : "I must'consult my wife before I de­ cide." "Why!* exclaimed the'other, "is she boss?" "No, and neither am I," was the caln^reply. "We are a well- matched team, and we don't drive tan­ dem. My wife is as much interested in the welfare of our family as I am, and she has a right to have a voice in the in­ vestment of our little means." If all men, and especially men of moderate incomes and possessions would adopt this plan we would have fewer poor people and a less number of busi­ ness failures. As a rule, the frugal wife does as much by saving as the hus­ band does by earning; the interests of the family are, or should be, mutual, and it is but simple justice that the wife be consulted in any business enterprise involving their income or their savings.

Then the oldrtime operator put » head out of the window and sung jut the division superintendent's office, which was just across the track in ao% "Other building. ? "One day I answered a call ojftny in­ strument, and got a message from Master Mechanic McMartin, who lived down the track sixty miles asking me as a personal favor to take the hand-car and go down the road about three miles to the farm of J. Bird, where I would get 500 strawberry plants. He wanted me to bring them to the station and send them down by the evening express. Now, McMartin, was in especial favor With me. I had two brothers working pnder him, and I naturally thought ha Was a great man. So I said I would dp it. I went home, got a big clothes ket, rolled out the hand-car, and tth one of the boys that always hang >und a country depot started out to id the farm of J. Bird. I had never teard of any such person, but thought I might have overlooked him. So I pumped away up a lossg grade until I reckoned I had gone at least three miles. Then I hailed a man in a field and asked him where J. Bird lived. He said there wasn't any such mau around there--might live farther west; so I went on a couple of miles until I found another man, and he was at least half a mile away in a plowed field. So I floundered over that stretch of broken ground and asked where to find the farm of J. Bird. He said he had lived in that county thirty years, and that no such person had ever been in it so far as he. knew--there was no such man in that immediate section, any­ way. "I went back to the hand-car in a quandary. I would have gone farther west, "though I was already between eight and nine miles from town, and my hands from pumping the hand-car were blistered fearfully, if it hadn't been for the old farmer's positive statement that no such man lived anywhere around. Finally I concluded that there had been some mistake and started back. It was mighty hard work and my hands were awful sore, but I pumped away, and at last I rolled up to the depot. There was a great crowd of young fellows there, and when I picked up the big clothes basket and stepped on to the platform_everybody gave me a great lai lm ou': " 'Get them strawberry plants H*' "It didn't take me more'n a second to realize the whole measly trick. The operator from the other building had switched on his ground wire, called me up, and sent me the message, apd signed it McMartin. On the strength of that I had gone out on a hunt for a jaybird and come back with two dozen blisters. While I was gone he had circulated the story and the gang had gathered. I didn't hear the last of that sell for months, and I was so sus­ picious afterward that I wouldn't an­ swer my own call half the time. That's what I call a low-down trick; but I've hoaxed young operators just as badly since. It teaches 'em the business." Treatment of Sprains. Sprains demand careful treatment. When a large joint is affected there is often considerable constitutional distur­ bance, fever, rapid pulse, etc. It has often been said that a bad sprain is worse than a fracture. It is certainly a very serious trouble, especially if the ligaments which bind the bone together are lacerated. Perfect rest to the affected limb is the most essential measure, and a splint should be used in its support. To les­ sen the supply of blood to the injured member during the inflammatory stage, it should be elevated and cold applied. Cold applications should be made to the joint eithef by cloths wrung out of cold water, or by powdered ice tied up in towels or in a rubber bag. A very con­ venient method of keeping the cloths wet without changing them is as follows: Fill a pitcher or some other vessel with water, and place it higher than the limb. Moisten a string or a strip of linen, and place one end of it in the wa­ ter ; let the other end hang on the out­ side, and rest it on the cloths which cover the injure^ part. The water will be continuously conducted along the string or linen used. The application of cold should be persisted in until the inflammation has subsided; the swelling may then be re­ duced by bandaging, uniform pressure and firmness being used. More or less stiffness of the joint will remain for a time; this may be overcome by gentle movements, if they do not excite more than momentary pain. If, however, the pain is more or less persistent, then the part must be kept still longer at rest The local treatment to restore the ac­ tion is much the same as in chronic rheumatism. Stimulating liniments may be used; it matters but little which is selected; the efficacy of all depends almost entirely upon the hand-rubbing employed in their application. One part to three of liniments, ammonia and camphor make a good preparation.-- Boston Journal of Health. Such is Fame. A friend of the senior Senator from Kentucky tells this story: Not long ago Senator Beck went out to visit his son who lives on a ranch in Minnesota. The nearest railway sta­ tion was twenty miles from the place, and he had difficulty in finding a con­ veyance. He announced himself to several persons as James B. Beck, the United States Senator, but no person seemed impressed by it, and money was no object to cart owners. At last he struck an old fellow who had horses and a wagon, but who, like the others, was not inclined to let them go. The Senator offered him $10,and finally $20, but it was no use. "It's very hard," he said; "I have not seen my son for a long time. He lives only twenty miles from here and I can­ not get there." "What is your son's name?" asked the old man. "Jim Beck," was the reply. " Great Lord!" exclaimed the old man. "Are you Jim Beok's father?" "Yes, sir, I am." "Well, certainly, you can have the team.. I know Jim Beck, and 111 do married him, educated him, pushed him into politics, and will not be satis­ fied until she has made him President, or dies trying.

He has suc­ cessfully contended against many ene­ mies, and is likely, in good time, to reach the summit of his ambition by having the signal service made an in­ dependent army bureau, with himself at the head. Is it General Greely's Arctic record that is bringing him this success, or his extraordinary ability?

What a Chiropodist Thinks. ^ f "Year before last I had two women patrons to one man," said a chirop­ odist. "But last, year, and so far this year, the falling off in the former patronage has been more than one- half. But there has been no decrease in the number of my male customers. How do I account for all this ? Easily. Fashion in shoes is responsible for it. A year and a half ago the high, nar­ row French heels were the fashion in women's shoes, and they are one of the best friends a chiropoT'st can have. They are regular and rapid breeders of corns. No woman can weai a pair of such shoes long without looking up. a oorn doctor. But the low, flat heel is now the fashion. If the rest of the shoe fits the foot, these heels are the natural enemy of corns, and the chi­ ropodist has to suffer. It is generally believed that women are more vain of their feet than men are of theirs, but my experience has shown me thai quite the oontrary is the fact. Men will insist on making their feet look small, and any shoe that will do that is the fashion for them. The narrow- toed or "toothpick" style of men's shoes, worn now as much as ever, will always insure the corn doctor a living, especially if the shoes are patent leather. A patent-leather shoe, for some reason, will call acorn into being much quicker than an ordinary leather shoe. The fellows who don't have corns are those who wear roomv-toed shoes. But they mustn't be too large. A shoe too large is as bad as one too small. An oversized shoe makes corns on the bottoni of the feet, and they are the worst kind, The late war was the greatest corn curer ever known. I never knew a single case of a soldier in that war who suffered from corns, and I was all through it. If a law should be passed that no shoe should be worn in this country but the pattern army shoejlf the rebellion, the cori} doctor's occupation would be gone."

It was told many years ago that the famous inventor was invited to hear Ole Bull play the violin. His reply was that he had no time for such frivolity, as he had been taught to re­ gard music, that he never had an ear for it anyhow, that it wotild be a waste of his valuable time and a breach upon his staid daily habits. But somehow his friend managed to bring the two great geniuses together. The meeting was said to have occurred in the inven­ tor s shop. A violin was produced and Bull began to play while the inventor worked. Pretty soon Ericcson paused in his work, then he dropped his tools and listened spell-bound to the magi­ cal tones of the musician. He said, so the story ran, he had alwavs felt that something had lieen wanting in his life, and that he had never known what it was until that ilay.-- Courier. * ^ " P •I to 18 CURED BY *,• "wartMr than rosea s|g; * Thai bloom Sn the beauty of Jane? , jOr the stately and fragrant liliea Whose bells ring a summer tune?
