"No, boy, I am going to quit this time for good," said a melancholy young in ii d to a crowd of cronies as they stopp- ed him in front of a saloon and asked hiui to "take something." "You know I have been with you for years, and the 'painting' we have done has given this town a vermillinn hue. But I must quit now. It may go a little hard with me at first, but in a short while I guess I will be able to rid myself of all desire for those jolly rants and revels that we have had together. Yes, the resolution is a sudden one, but it is none the less firm " 1 ou see after 1 was married I quit you fellows for a long time and then grav itated baek to you. It was not that I loved my wife any the less. I just got careless and thoughtless. Somehow seemed to think that since I was provid' ing her with all the material luxuries of life she ought to be satisfied. I didn't intend to negleot ber, you know, and thought she didn't care if I did come down town occasionally at night. "Since these nocturnal absences from home have become so frequent I notice that a change has appeared in her nature. Her sparkling vivacity that used to charm and electrify me commenced to wane. Still she strives hard to appear happy. But she is not the woman she used to be. Her face has grown wan, her cheeks sunken, and the merry gleam has left her eye. When I arise in the morning with reddened eyes and no ap petite she looks at me pityingly and hugs the baby closer to her bosom than I ever noticed her do before. "No, she has never spoken to me about it. 1 ou see, that s the devil of it. If she would just pitch in and give me a tongue lashing her sorrowing look would not make feel so like a dog. She just looks that s all. Oh, no, she doesn't fear for herself except as I am affected. That look tells me plainer than words that she feels I am killing myself and will soon be lost to her. This morning she told baby to kiss papa good by. There was a strange pathos in her voice when she spoke the words that I never heard before. And then she turn ed away and broke into low sobs that she tried to hide from me. "Good God, boys, I didn't think those things ever existed out of the novels or off the stage! Thai's the reason I tell you that I have quit. I like you all, know yon are splendid fellows, and that you are my friends. But but er she's the best friend I ever had or expect to have, and and well, I'm going to be her friend too " The crowd dispersed. Nobody "took anything." St. Louis Chronicle. JOHN ALLEN'S LATEST. "There are quite a number of citizens here from tho South, but I am the only prominent man I have seen from our sec tion," said Congressman John Allen, of Mississippi. "You remember the reply of the man when asked who were at a certuin meetiog. 'Myself and several other prominent persons.' was what he said. I am, as you see, suffering from a sprained leg, I uot it running so hard for f ongress in my district. Really, this campaign of educution ou the tariff is not altogether encouraging. Tho othor dny I tried to show one of my colored constituents the error of the Republican policy of protection. He works for about ?8 smooth. 'Hiram,' said I, 'what did you pay for tlmt lui&j you've got there in your hand?' 'Fifty cents,' he said. 'Well, don't you koo,' I suid, 'that if it wasn t tor tho tariff you oould have got it for 25 ceuts?'. 'Jul)!' he said, "what do I care fur a quarter?' " Chi cago Letter in the St.f'Louis Globe-Dem ocrat. If yoa are troubled by a tickling sensa tion in the throat and cannot sleep for coughing you will find that a few tea spoonfuls of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup will stop ynnr onuoh nnd enable ym to get a gubd main's rest.

HE WAS SHOT THROUGH THE HEART AND YET LIVED A REMARKABLE FACT REVEALED BY A POST MORTEM EXAMINATION A post mortem examination held over William Tillman, colored, who was shot and mortally wounded last Friduy night by Ben Iluskins, revealed the remarks' ble fact thut the bullet, a (112 calibre) had passed through the negro's heart notwithstanding which he lived un til Tuesday afternoon. The bullet, Dr Wilder says, passed through the right ventricle of the heart. From the point of entrance to exit was two inches. Th bullet did not pass directly through the centre of the ventricle, but rather in an oblique direction. The track of the ball from its entrance of the ventriclo to its exit was three-quarters of an inch. The post mortem was held by Dr. II. M. Wil der, assisted by Drs. Faison and Mont' gomery. The astonishing fact revealed by it was an interesting theme of discus sion yesterday amongst the medical fra ternity. Such an occurrence has been known in medical science but rarely never before in this country. The negro was up and walking about the morning after he was shot. Dr. Paul Barringer, of the University of Virginia, who is at present in tho city. says there is no record of such a remark able wound occurring on either side dur ing the late wai it is the first instance he has ever known of a man being shot through the heart and living for any pe riod of time over a few minutes. Dr, Barringer will take the heart to the University of Virginia to be placed with the specimens in the medical department Charlotte Observer. ON THE SITUATION. A Washington special to the Balti more Sun says: Congressman Springer, of Illinois, chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means, returned to this city last night in full health. In the course of an interview he says that the people of the country are entitled to a thorough revision of the tariff, and the work ought to be done as early as possi ble. An extra session seems to him to be absolutely necessary. The new tariff bill, ho added, cannot be modeled on the lines of the Mills bill, for that measure was framed in response to Mr. Cleveland's exhibit of a surplus of 8100,000,000 in the Treasury. The ocxt tariff must open the way toward an increase of the reve nues, not their reduction. There is an absolute necessity, Mr. Springer contin ued, for au extra session to provide means for meeting the threatened deficiency in the Treasury un the 1st of July. While the deficiency must be met, no new im position must be placed upon the people. STATE PENSIONS. State Auditor Sanderlin and his assis tants have been busily engaged in send ing out pension warrants. The amount this year is 897,000, an increase of $10,- OUU derived from the additional tax paid by railroads, thanks to Senator Aycock's committee and the Railroad Commission. This year those who are incompetent to perform manual labor (there are 511 will get $08; those who lost a leg above the knee, or an arm above tho elbow, (there are 23G) will get 851; the 36G who lost a foot or leg below tho knee, or hand or arm below the elbows, or have a lee or arm reudered utterly useless by reason of a weund or permanent injury, get $34; the 1,239 who lost one eye and to all widows remaining unmarried, and all other soldiers who are otherwise disabled to perform manual labor by reason of wounds received while in the Confederate service, get $17. Mr. G. S. Mason, 184 Huron street, Toledo, 0., speaks like a man who thor oughly believes what he says. He writes from his home: "Salvation Oil only costs 25 cents and I want to state to you here myself and wife value it tii'ty times what it oust Oue an I ,i half bottle" cured my wife of a bad case of rheuma tism this week. MAN EATING FKOGS. THIS YARN FROM GEORGIA WOULD MAKE MUNCHAUSEN BLUSH. Savannah News. I'eoplo living on tho line of the Chick aruauga aro excited over a number of strange and enormous frogs that infest the neighborhood. These frogs were brought from the Mississippi swamp in 1886 and put in the Chickamauga river. They are said to be of enormous size when grown. These, being very small when brought, aro just now beginning to show what they can do. One has been catch ing chickens, but they live principally upon fish. When the fish are driven away by high tide and they are starved for a few days they will attack a person The one that passed through Lafayette would have been captured, but the man had to go to his house for his gun, and the frog made one leap and was out of reach of a fair shot after devouring quite a number of chickens. The Lafayette Messenger reports that M. M. Burrows, Mr. Manly, and his son William were out in the bottoms a few days later and dis covered one of these frogs on the river bank. The men, seeing the danger they were in, immediately made an attempt to get away. Mr. Manly, being an old man, directed his course to an empty cot' ton house which was near by for refuge. Just as he was entering the house the frog seized his coat tail, leaving him al most breathless and with nothing but the shoulders and sleeves of his coat. I f I . - m a lew minutes later Monroe came near the house where Mr. Manly had taken refuge, and seeing the frog tussling with the fragments of the coat, and fear ing that it had devoured his father and brother, made a determined attack on the creature, but was forced to retreat after being badly hurt. FREAK OF NATURE. THE IMPRINT OF A HUMAN FACE UPON ' A BABY'S HAND. The little bamlet of Roseburgh, S. C, is to the fore with a curiosity which is ahead of all others. This is a 3-weeks old baby, whose right band bears the impriot of a human face. The face oc cupies nearly the whole palm, and is as clearly outlined as if drawn on porcelain. It is the countenance of a little child about throe years old lying asleep, with the eyelashes drawn in fine dark lines on the full cheeks. The mouth seems to be slightly parted and the lip; are deli cately tinted. The baby whose palm contains this singular portraiture is the child of Clark Osborne, a thriving merchant of Rose- burg, and Mrs. Osborne declares that the face in the infant's palm is that of a little girl she lost about three months before the baby's birth. Relatives and intimate friends also profess to be able to see a strong resemblance to the dead child. When the baby was first put in its mother's arms, she looked at the hands, and with a loud cry fainted away, but on coming to herself exhibited the little creature's hands to tho attendants, who saw at once the strange likeness to the dead and gone sister. Mrs. Osborne was at first much frightened over the singular circumstance, but at last became con vinced that this strange portrait was sent to comfort her. Physieiaus say, bow- ever, that the mother's curcssos of he doad child impressed the unborn infant, who merely repeated ber mental pictures of the little girl as she lust beheld it. The image on the palm was much clearer the first few duys of the baby's life thuu now, and is thought to bo grad ually fading. The family are very sensi tive on the subjeot, and have refused to show the child except to relatives and most intimate fiiond, but a dime muse um manager has already made proposi tions, which have been declined Phila delphia Times.

For more than a year thcro have been around Raleigh white and colored peo ple who claim to be holy, and they have been preaching and proselyting all they could to their peculiar religious belief. When this sect was first started in this city it was by a white man and several white women. After they had been here for a few months they left and were succeeded by a negro man by the name of E. Loney, who came here from Rich mond, Va. Loney claims to be sent of God to give the last warning to the saints, and admonishes his heroes to sell all their property and give it to the sustenance of the Gospel. , With Loney came women and they have been preaching and exhorting in and around Raleigh for the post year. He teaches that unless men and women are sanctified by the Gospel before mar riage, they are violating God's law I living together as man and wife. Thou who were married before they were sam -tilled must leave their wives and husband or they will be lost and damned forever. The Holy ones prefer to follow thi example of the early Christian and worship in the open air, they do not go into a building unless compelled to do so by the weather. At every meetiog they call upon all members to give up all their jewelry, declaring that they cannot be holy unless they give up all property of this character. The ornaments and trinkets arc usually taken off and piled up together in a heap on the ground, surrounded by (he congregation, and then Loney and the four women tuke possession of it and it is never seen any more by the former owners. They also teach that it is wrong to call in a physician in the event of sick ness, saying that God will do his will with the sick if he desires they will recover and get well, otherwise, they will die and no physician could save them. One colored woman is known to have carried tho doctrioe so far tbat she would allow no physician to attend her sick child and the result was death. I There is a feature of Mormonisin also. They teach tbat the men of the sect may have as many wives as they choose, if the women also belong to the sect, and that they may barter with the male mem bers for a new wife provided the woman belongs to the holy ones. This ne"? religious sect has rapidly increased and now numbers several hun dred. Buroin Snipes and J. Wilcox, of Mason village, have been converted and liavo joined and have been assisting Loney in preaching and exhorting. Maoy women havo been turned nearly crazy by these doctriues, and many of them have sold their personal property and given it to these three men and have joined the sect and left their husbands and children. Loney, Snipes uud Wilcox have taken up with the wives of other meu. T o weeks ago these three men and fifieen women left Raleigh for Wilmington, where they are reported to have been preaching in the Sum Jones Tabernacle. Snipes took with him Easter Shepherd, the wife of Wasliiugtoo Shepherd, and on Thursday last tho outraged husband retained Mr. J. (J. h. Harris for the purpoio of having his wife brought back uud to bring Suipes to the bar of justice. Li M. Mason and IN. O.
