tumorous Department. HE WAS A HUM BIG. Scribbler had come home from the office in the evening quite "played out," because of the output of his pen and brain that day. He was lying on the couch in the sitting room after supper, when Mrs. Scribbler, who had been reading a magazine, said : "See here, George Scribbler, here is something that fits you to a T, and I want you to read if" "What's it about ?" "It's about these funny kind of men who must have everything just so in their homes, no matter how bard it makes it for others. You know that you are one of the funniest men alive. v.inriT rncr Anrt chair and book must 'v" J "b be exactly in its place, and a little dust sets you to scolding. You must have a clean napkin every meal, and you cannot eat if there is a tiny spot on the tablecloth, and everything must be served just exactly so or you get grumpy. Now, is not that true ?" "A man likes to see things in order in his own house," said Scribbler. "Of course be does, and I try to keep things in order, but I defy any woman to maintain the degree of order you expect with four or five children in the house. Now, this article refers to just such unreasonable, fussy men as you are, and it is not one bit too severe even when it says that they are small spirited and lacking in true manliness.

"Because?well, the fact is, my dear, I wrote that article myself."?Denver Post. The Force ok Imagination.?A circumstance occurred in Hartford, Conn., two or three years since, which amused several persons considerably at the time. An Irish servant girl went into a fashionable store to purchase some ribbon. The clerk produced a very fine article, but she objected to it on the ground that the shade of the color did not exactly suit her. "Oh," said the clerk, "if you will only imagine that it pleases you, the color will make no difference. And he entered into a disquisition upon the extraordinary power of the imagination. The girl heard him through very attentively, and then consented to have three or four yards of the ribbon put up. She put it quietly in her pocket and walked off". "Stop, if you please," said the clerk ; "you haven't paid for the ribbon." "Niver mind," was the reply, as she walked away; "jist imagine that I paid, and it will make no difference !" Patriotism and Religion.?My daughter, who teaches in a mission telle mo nf a Dewev cuuuaj ov,iivwij ?>vft<w w ? ? ? ? ? .. experience she had with a youngster making his first appearance. She had ptu him through a half hour or more of instruction in the rudimentary principles, for he was entirely lacking in information on that point, and to test him was reviewing her work with him. "Now," she said, "tell me again who made the world and all that is in it?" "God did," replied the boy, with commendable promptitude. "God can do everything, can't He ?" she asked again. The boy hesitated a moment. "I don't believe He could lick Dewey," he answered at last, aud his teacher sat silent between her religion and her patriotism. It wasn't her time to say anything, if she didn't want to lose that boy forever, and she had wit enough to let it go at that.?Washington Star. Trials of Translation.?English critics say that recently fate gave evidence of more than usual intelligence in the office of a Parisiau journal. The Parisian editor saw a London critic's appreciation of Anna Thibaud, whose songs are as pointed and flowery as her "rosebud" slippers. The Londoner wrote that "mademoiselle's feet were incased in fairy boots." The Parisian set himself dilligeutly to work with his dictionary, aud soon had it correctly translated, we presume, but when it appeared in priut, instead of reading that mademoiselle's feet were incased in "bottes de fee," it said they were incased in "pots a fleurs" (flower pots). W3F The steward of oue of the European steamers, who wanted to take a box ashore unobserved, said k> a custom-house oflicer whom he knew?"If I was to put a half-eagle piece upon each of your eyes, could you see?" The answer was, "No; and if I had another upon my mouth, I could not speak." J6T" "Mamma,"said the baby, "what are you soaking your feet for ?" "Because my head aches, dear." The baby was evidently puzzled, and remained wrapt in thought for a few minutes. Then he broke the silence again.

A Successful Preacher.?Au English bishop, us he was going about his diocese, asked the porter of a lunatic asylum how a chaplaiu whom he, the bishop, had appointed, was getting on. "Oh, my lord," said the man, "his preaching is most successful. The hidiots heujoys it partickler." A fellow, in an oblivious state, took up his lodgings on the sidewalk. He woke next morning, and straightening himself up, looked on the ground on which he had made his couch. "Well," he said, "if had a pickaxe, I would make up my bed. iUisfctlancous grading. THE TERRIBLE VESUVIUS. The Spaniards Call Her the "Earthquake Thrower." i The dynamite cruiser Vesuvius was for a long time an object of ridicule ; in the navy. The officers had a prejudice against the idea of throwing ex- < plosives by means of air guns, holding ^ that this kind of warfare was better ! suited to the army. Then again, they I thought that the Vesuvius would not j amount to much in an engagement i anyway, as she would be so easily dis- < posed of by shot and shell from rifle i cannon. But now all these opinions < have undergone a decided revision. < Nearly every night for the past two 1 weeks, the Vesuvius has been making < it a regular custom to slip up within j easy range of the entrance to Santiago and let % at least three guncotton shells at the batteries and over into the harbor. Each trip she lets fly just s three shells. This is because she has only three guns, and as she is careful not to expose herself unnecessarily she , does not care to run the risk of reload- ] ing while still within range of the forts. ] THB VESUVIUS. The shells of the Vesuvius each con- < tain 500 pounds of guncotton, and ^ they can be dropped at any range de- j sired up to three miles. The shells ( are fired from the guns by means of j compressed air,'and exploded either by , percussion or time fuses. The time , fuse, however, are always used in con- , nection with the percussion caps, so j as to insure explosions even upon the j failure of the shells to strike any solid \ object. ? According to published accounts, the ( Vesuvius steals out from the fleet in ? the darkness, keeping well in the \ shadow of the hills until she gets as ( close as she desires to the fortifications, ( and then takes her position. Present- , ly, after the range has been adjusted, , there is a peculiar hissing, cough-like ( noise, the shell flies like an arrow, and j within a few seconds afterward the , vicinity about the harbor entrance is ( lighted up almost to the very skies, < and there comes back a terrific report J accompanied by a shock which makes ] the very Vesuvius itself tremble. ( As to just how much damage has ' been wrought by the Vesuvius is not , yet definitely known. Reports are conflicting. Theoretically the explosion of 500 pounds of gun cotton is sufficient to destroy auy fortification it might strike. Next morning after some of the shots, the officers on the fleets have been able to see much ruin along the shore where the explosions took place. One shot almost destroyed' the Socapa battery on the west side of the channel entrance. It is reported that several ships inside of the harbor have been sunk by shells which were sent over the hills. Time and again Sautiago has been shaken as if by an earthquake, and the Cubans report that the Spaniards call the Vesuvius the "earthquake thrower." It is also repeatedly stated as a fact that for ten nights or more the Spanish soldiers have refused to remain with their guns in Morro on account of the dreaded ship. That the Vesuvius is doing much effective work, there is no reasou to doubt; but as to exactly how effective [her work is a matter that must remain largely for future investigation. The cruiser will, no doubt, continue to throw gun cotton at the batteries and into the lower harbor, and then after the capture of the city and fortifications, the Americans will be able to secure some accurate information as to the value of this new idea in modern warfare. GENERAL BUTLER COMPLIMENTED. A Northern Society Presents Him With a Fine Horse and Trappings. The presentation to General M. C. Butler, of South Carolina, of a fiue saddle horse and accoutrements by the society of the Sous of the American V?ownlnt inn nf Xfiiv York, was a uleas ing incideut that has attracted favora- s ble comment. a "The last nail in the coffin of sec- s tioualism, if it needed any last nail, t has been driven," says the New York I Mail and Express, "by the Empire a State Society of the Sons of the Amer- i ican Revolution. Its members have \ at the same time, presented Major J General Matthew C. Butler, of South i Carolina, with a handsome warhorse, c and haudsome accouterments, at Camp c Alger, and giveu to Brigadier Geueral J Frederick D. Grant, at Chickamauga, t a sword rich'y chased aud inscribed, i together with belt and epaulettes of 1 his new rauk." Says the Mail and ( Express: ( "The honor to .General Grant was t natural enough, as he is one of the \ society's board of managers, and has \ been governor generul for two years of r the Society of Founders and Patriots 1 of America; but the gift to Geueral s Butler was sigually gracious aud goes s to prove the patriotic harmony that I now thrills north and south alike as c in the days of the revolution. Colonel a J. C. Calhoun, a vice president of the a Empire State society, who served un- L der General Butler in the Civil war, v on the Confederate side, was the mov- c er of this warhorse tribute to his old f chief. Colonel Calhoun, together with ? Edward Payson Cone (proposer of the r testimonial to General Grant); Geueral ? Thomas Wilson, United States army ; ] General Horatio C. King, and ltev. c Dr. James M. King, all of this city, t were appointed a committee to execute t J,he will of the society in both mat- t ters. c "As General Butler had had three 1 white horses shot from under him dur- 1 ing the last war, it was decided not to risk that color again, so a mettled black charger was chosen, at his selection, from Virginia, while bridle, saddle and accouterments were forwarded from this city. President McKinley, one of the society's corn-patriots, was present at Camp Alger when the presentation was made. Handsome leatherbound copies of the society's engrossed resolutions were given to the president and to both Generals Butler and Grant. They recite that the society 'takes this action for the purpose of reorganizing and expressing its gratitude for the unmistakable evidence that sectionalism is at an end under the government which our fathers founded, and that we are an undivided nation, facing a foreign foe, with a common patriotism uniting all >ur hearts as citizens of tne greai American republic.'

GASTON?Gastonia Gazette, June 30: Last Wednesday night, 22nd, just after bed-time, Mr. John B. Leeper's big barn, at his home near Belmont, was completely destroyed by fire. While be is reasonably satisfied that it is the work of an incendiary, Mr. Leeper says he does not know who did it nor is he able to lay suspicion upon any particular person. The victims of the Charlotte pickpockets, on the 20th, appear to be in a good way to get thtir money back. Mr. Jno. F. Wilson informed us that he had either got all, or would get all of his $50 back again from the court. The money found on the persons of the convicted pickpockets was applied by the court, he said, to reimbursement of the victims of the slickfingered rascals. About 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, Sam Froneberger, a darkey on Tanyard Row, cut his throat from ear to ear. The windpipe was severed and several minor blood vessels. But it didn't kill him. He was nearly gone when Dr. J. C. Whitesides took charge of him, a few minutes after the deed, and it was thought at nightfall that he wouldn't see morning. But he did. He woke * ?liifotir Kroo f hi nor not. up Li u LJg I y ail LI tllliOkJ, Uivuvuiug, ww. urally and able to fan the flies off himself. It is now believed that he will get well. In the Bethel section cotton and corn are reported to be fine, and the health of the people excellent. Crops are being laid by as rapidly as the fast coming crab grass will allow. The seasonable showers, followed by sunshine, cause a regular carpet of it to appear every few days. This, we learn from Mr. T. N. Kendrick, who made a flying visit home Saturday night, returned Monday morning. He can be very well contented around Gastonia for two or three weeks, but after that time he must get out to see "mother and my friends," which latter term includes, of course, his best girl, if he has any. Mr. L. L. Jenkins has been confirmed as postmaster at Gastonia. The Mormons are among us. Elders Smith and Chadwick, two missionaries of this faith in charge of the work in the south, arrived in Gastonia Tuesday morning. Mrs. Eva Clemmer died last Friday at her home near Gastonia, aged about 47 years. She was the widow of the late Luther Clemmer and an aunt of Messrs. R. W., J. A. and W. M White. The burial took plaee at Chapel Lutheran church I at noon Saturday, after the funeral services conducted at the church by the pastor. The sorrowing ones have the sympathy of their many friends in their sore bereavement. Little Plato, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Smith, died last Thursday, aged 2 years and 10 months. feOY/l| s POWDER Absolutely Pure WHEN YOU WANT TO have your PHOTOGRAPH taken you should not fail to come and see me.
