“The day before General Lee surren
dered, ” said a Confederate officer, "I (
crossed Sailor's creek, a small stream |
in Prince Edward county, Va., which i
follows the track of the Richmond and
Danville railroad and empties into the
Appomattox river. There was only a
handful of my company left, and as I
reached the summit of the hill which
skirts Its eastern bank I turned to see if
the Federals—who had been hotly pur
suing us—were in view. As I did so 1
observed a man wearing the uniform of
a Confederate officer ride slowly along
the precipitous side of the stream oppo
site us, and evidently searching for a
crossing.
“At this moment a long steel tipped
blue line of Federal infantry crowned
the hill above, in full view and within
easy range of the horseman. Apparent
ly abandoning all hope of escape, the
latter turned and rode directly toward
the enemy’s line. As wo watched him,
breathless with anxiety lest the signal
of surrender should be too long delayed,
ho suddenly wheeled about, put spurs
to his horse, and dashing down the de
clivity cleared the stream with abound
Not a shot was fired at the bold rider
As he reached the opposite bunk a spoil
taueous shout went up from the whole
line—a generous tribute from the hruve
to tiie brave. A moment afterward the
Confederate was in the midst of us and
we recognized in him Genorul James A.
Walker, the commander of the old
Btonewall brigade." — Philadelphia

A year ago—for we wintered there
twice—I wanted to send a telegram and
went to the principal office. Malaga is
fourth or fifth in importance among
Spanish towns. The offlee was only
open twioo a day for an hour or two at
a time. Not a clerk could sjswk any
thing but Spanish, so I had to go hack
to the hotel for the interpreter to trans
late my message. When I returned with
it, I wanted a note for 25 pesetas
(francs) ohanged. All tho clerks at all
the pigeonholes were very kind and
olvil and smoked cigurettes while they
looked for cbango. But the wholo office
oould not master it, so I was loft to pay

Had to Haiti* For a Captain.
Judge George E. Mann tells the fol
lowing story abont the Second com
pany of the Richmond Howitzer bat
talion. “All the boys who wanted to be
offioers had been taken oare of and the i
others preferred to be privates. Our <
first captain was George W. Randolph, |
who was afterward secretary of war of ,
the Confederate states. He was succeed
ed by John Thompson Brown, who wt, |
afterward made a colonel of artillery. !
Then we tried to elect a captain, but
none of tho boys would have it. They
went out to fight and were content to be
privates. The daties of captain were
onerons, and none of them cared to ac
cept. We had to get a captain from an
other company."—Galveston News.

First Ron on a Bank.
The first “run” on banking institu
tions in London was in 1667. Many
Lombard street goldsmiths and bankers
had lent out the money intrusted to
them, and being called upon for pay
ment were unable to meet the demand.
A crowd of creditors and others assem
bled and a riot followed, in which four
bankers wore hanged at their own doors
before order could be restored and the
angry creditors persuaded that they
were not being swindled.

Mercury tad Venoa.
Astronomer* generally now admit
hat the more recent studies of the
ilanets Mercury and Venus tend to con
Irm Schiaparelli's opinion, advanced
ome years ago, that both of them tnm
n their axes onoe while revolving
.bout the sun. This, however, is a very
tlfflcult point to settle with certainty,
he reason given for this being, and
cry plausibly, that the evidonce rests
ipon observation of the exceedingly
hint markings upon the disks of the
danets, the fact being that very fow as
ronomers have ever seen them at all
rlth distinctness, and only those who
lave made a most perslstei^. study of
hem and are favored with vision espo
daily sensitive to such details are ooin
>otont to oxpress an opinion as to their
orrect interpretation.
It is argued that if, as held by some,
he rotation and revolution periods are
he same Is- a i-orreot opinion, tiien the
dimatin conditions of the two planets
nnst be most remarkable. Furthermore,,
rur moon always shows the same face to
he enrth and no knowledge exists of
he hidden part, nor have tho supposed
nhabitauts of that ooncealed hoini
iphero over soen tho earth. This, how
iver, is of no importance to them, as
he earth is not the source of light, heat
md life on the moon. All parts of
he moon are brought under the sun’s
nflnonce jvst as all parts of tho earth,
hough the day and night aro 14 times
is long us on the earth. But how it
nust be on a planet which has one side
inly exposed to tho sun, astronomers can
live no answer. —Exchange.

morning not long since ho arose early
ind went to the wardrobe, took down
its summer trousers and drew them on.
Fhis proceeding resulted in such yells
that the entire family was awakened.
Sir. Arnold was soon surrounded by the
family, which was anxious to render
him assistance. His only words were,
‘Pull off the pants.” The combined
efforts of the family were vain, how
ever, until some one suggested that a
seam be ripped. This done, there was

One of the Chinese methods is, I be

the patient is in good health, with the
abvious intention of making it the in

Lord Rothschild has adopted. 1 hear

avery Saturday to feel his pulse and see
that he is keeping in good health.—
