Completing his preparation for college under Dr. Simeon Colton, he entered the i University of North Carolina, in 1849, remaining there two years, and retuning - to Fayetteville in 1851, where he enter ed the store of bis uncle, Elijah Fuller, as clerk. Upon the death of his uncle in 1854 he became director of a wagon making establishment, but after a year determined to study law. In 1855 he eutered the law school of Hon. Richmond l'carsou, at Richmond Hill, Yadkin county, and in 185G re ceived bis license to practice law in the Superior Courts of the State. Entering upn the pi act ice of his pro fusion nt l':ivi'ttovilli'. lie remained a J busy lawyer until the breaking out of the war called him into the service of his State. He entered the army as a private in the LsFuyotte Light Infantry, mi the i 20th of April, ISlil; and was pioiuntcd - jf to the rauk of 1st Lieuteuaut of Starr's $ , battery.

At the close of the unfortunate strug gle Col. Fuller returned to Fayetteville and funned a partnership with his broth er, Bartholomew, under the firm name of B. & T. C.

This strong legal firm, which had no superior anywhere, was dissolved when the senior member was appointed Asso ciate Justice of the Supreme Court. The subject of this sketch then formed a co partnership with Mr. Geo. H. Snow, which to day exists, and the firm name of Fuller k Snow is known throughout the State. POOK PHLLOW. An editor who married a girl from a cooking club prints the following for his paper after a few days of married life : Go Btand where I have stood, go fed what I have felt, eat calmly half cooked iimmi. and tish and p"'s char smelt, do take what I have took, go bear what have bore, throw tea cups at the cook and swear as I have swore. Go live on juiooless steak, and soggy bread half baked; at midnight lie awake and ache as I have ached. Go gnaw with all your might on tough doughnuts and pies; and stop between each breath to pick out hairs and flies. Go do what I have done nnko yourself a fool; by winning as I have won, a gill from a cooking school.

AMERICAN WAYS. SOME WHICH SEEMED QUKKll TO THE MAN FKO.U THE OT1IEK HIDE. Ho was taking a pleasure trip through this country and was unused to the ways of its citizens, which may explain his action. Ho met a friend, showed him a card, asked him to go with him to the address on it. "What's the matter!" asked the friend. "Why, this gentleman," explained the foreigner, "helped me out of a very em barrassing portion. You see, through carelessness, I got caught on a street car with uothing but a diaf't in my pocket, and he paid my fare. I insisted on hav ing his card, and now I'm going around to thank l.iin agaiu and pay him the money." "The nickel?" "Certainly." "Don't do it." "But I owe it to him." "It makes no difference; he will be an- And be was. He said the stranger must have thought him mighty hard up or close fisted to come chasing after him with a nickel, and he indignantly refused to lake it. "But sir," said the stranger with sur prist-, "I owe it to you. I don't wish to have other people paying my street car fare." ' Offer him a cigar," whispered the friend. 'flic foreigner promptly followed i n striietions. "Win ,, ,, ;,, !,.u i)u.,:" lie asked, liuttui'' away the nickel ami taking out a handsome cigar case. "Why, thank you," was the reply, and in a few moments the three wire smoking. "Ask him to have something," sug gested the friend. Again the stranger followed instruc tions and they roperly adjourned to a place where something tould be had. Here each man felt it incumbent upon him to buy a "round." Then the for- ligner and his friend started for the ho tel, and the former remarked: "Queer ways you have here." "How so?" asked the friend. "Why, he was too proud to accept 5 ceuts that was due him, but he would take a cinar and a drink that were not. And because he did me a favor I had to take three drinks that I didn't want and smoke a ticar that I was saving for after dinner. If I paid my car fare that way I'd be drunk and broke all the time.

We would rather it had happened to anybody else, but if you never had a "black mammy" of your own it would be useless to try to explain our feelings to you. My earliest recollection was the scene of my mother's death bed, when she begged "mammy" to take god care of the little children it grieved her so much to leavo. "Mistis, I'll pertect Yinwid merlife," the old woman had replied, her (ryes streaming with tears. Yery faithful had mammy been to her trust, aud we rewarded her with all ih; affection our little hearts could hold. She would not let us follow her into the cot ton field when the sun was overhead, but. when the heat of the day was gone we would hasten to her side aud put many handf'uls of cotton into her basket, hoping to make it heavier than any of the other "hands." " " Y'all is mammy's shaders," she would say, smiling affectionately, "but denyou's all de suushine she's got, too." ' One afternoon wheu the suu was set ting we heard a fearful sound that grew louder and louder, and looking backward we saw a great cloud of dust and the inverted cone of the cyclone we had so long dreaded. "Run, everybody, run fer ver lift shouted the foreman, who towered like a giant above t lie rest. "Make fer de gully in do Humieyeut field " Almost as Castas the wind we ran, but mammy looked over her shoulder and saw that my little brother, Johnnie, was not keeping up with the rest of us. I gwine back an' tote my mistis' chile," she said. "Run erlong, honey, an' don' min' me; mammy '11 bo dar teree'ly." And I ran on and left her. In about an hour the wind had lulled and a pour ing rain had set in. We crawled out of our place of refuge, and one of the negroes was lucky enough to have a lan tern with him. I begged him to help me search for mammy. At last we found her lying on a nek. "Are you hurt, mammy ?" I asked be tween my sobs. "Yes, honey, I'm hurted iu my head, but my mistis' chile is safe." And, sure enough, Johnnie was lying on her shoulder fast to sleep. The men carried her tenderly, and laid heron the bed in her log cabin. "Can't you do anything for her, doctor?" I asked. "I wish I could P was his earnest re ply. He sat by her bedside all night trying to alleviate her pain, while I, ou the other side, fanned her as well as I could for sobbing. ' Just aN the clouds were brightening in the east mammy stretched out her hands as if to greet some one. "I'm er comin' ter yer, mistis, an' took good kcer cr yer chillen, honey." A smile flitted over tho worn, old features, and we that were watching be side her knew that she had passed "out of the region of sadness into the sunshine of gladness." -Mary M.

Dr. D, Hayes Agnew, assisted by sev eral other eminent Philadelphia physi ciaus, performed the remarkable surgical operation in that city Saturday of trans plant in" a nerve from a living dog to the riyht arm of Mrs. J. II. Weber. Mrs W cber lost the use ot that member in Isbil by the removal ot a tumor, iu which it was found necessary to cut out about three inches of the uiusculospira; nerve. Dr. Agnew cut into the patient's .inn a wound four inches long, aud to the depth of the nerve, the dissectiou bein": made with the utmost care. After some difficulty the two euds of the divid ed nerve weio found, in a healthy condi tiun, but about three inches apart. At this time Mr. Martin, within one minute. exposed and removed three inches of the sciatic uerre from the dog's h'p. Quick ly takiug up the living nerve in forceps he handed it to Dr.Agnewand Dr. Whie They placed it in a sheath of decalcified chicken bone, and put both between tho ends of the divided nerve, stitching them there securely. Several months may elapse before the nerve has time to recov er itself, and at least ashing a period will he needed before the muscles, in disute fer over two years, will regain their nor mal condition. The dog was etheri'itd a ml killed immediately after tho opera tion, before he had recovered conscious ness. Baltimore Sun.

About twenty years ago Mrs. Neas scorched the end of her index linger while ironing, and on the evening of the same day she cut the same finger with a piece of ilass. Af'tea this exfoliation began, aud as the disease progressed, the forearm became involved. The ex foliation takes place spontaneously, and about ten minutes after it occurs the woman is seized with intense pains, which continue uutil the bone is discharged. There is no hemorrhage or inflammation aud it always heals rapidly. The bone seems to be immediately replaced and there is no disfiguration of the part from which the old one is expelled. The bone done does not always make its ap pearaneo on the surface instantly after breaking loose, but is occasionally some hours moving down the arm, mov ing an inch or so very rapidly, then topping, and so moving alternately un til it reaches the back of the hand. Dr. Rales says that on one occasion he was called very hurriedly to see the wo man and on his arrival he found a bone lodged iu her throat. He removed the bone aud she told him she had swallowed two previous to his arrival and while sit ting talking to her a bone about one inch in length came from her left ear. The bones all look natural, though some of them appear as if they had been bleached. The number expelled in pieces up to this time is 52(i. Mrs. Neas has until recently had ood use of her arm, but it is now iiu aired to some extent. She is free from any disease that would have a tendency to produce softening of the bone and has taken very little mercury. PI K 13 PLY JEWELS. IV THE (ItDliy WHIRL WITH "LUMI NOUS" LADIES. Electric jewelry usually takes the forms of pins, which are made in various de signs. One such jewel copies a daisy, and has an electric spark flashing from the centre; another is a model of a lan tern in emerald glass, while a death's head iu gold, with a ray gleaming from each eye, bears testimony to the realistic proclivities of the age. The wearing of electric jewelry necessi tates the carrying about of an accummu lator, which resembles a spirit flask, and is generally stowed away in a waistcoi t pocket. Brooches are made occasionally for ladies' wear, but as women have no waistcoat pockets a difficulty arises with regard to the battery. Electricity lias occasionally flashed from the brows of fairy queens in comic opera, but whether it will ever appear in the ball-room is another matter. It would be a new sensation to whirl in the giddy waltz, emitting electric rays ou every side. And might not oue s part ner experience a shock in more ways thau one ?

V::rr..':--3 THE PRESIDENT A KEl'UBLICAN OPINION OI'Tlj HOUSE OCCUPANT." Senator Wolcott, of Colorado very exalted opinion of President sou. In a talk with a reporter New York Times the young lawmaker said: "I am a Republican an want Republican success, and so I have no hesitation in saying that Hanison as a candidate is unpopular in the West. He has no enthusiastic following. No body likes bis Administration. If his name had been John Smith he would have had just as much of a recep tion on his recent swim: arouud the country as he did under the name of Harrison. Just look at it. He went South with the memory of his strong backing of the Force bill fresh in every State, and be was given what was unani mously conceded to be a warm welcome. That reception was given to tho office and not to the man. It was a grand thing as indicative of the loyalty of the South; nothing more. Harrison went West with a record of having opposed the great measures in which the West was interested, and from the Mississippi River to the coast and back again he was greeted with cheers and banquets. The cheers aud the banquets were given to the office and not to the man. The Western people feel that Harrison is not large enough or bioad-minded enough to grasp the situation as head of this Gov ernment." WOMAN AM)Hi:it DltKSS. It is often said that, you can judge a woman fairly by her dress. That this is only partly true many a woman whose purse is scantily supplied can testify. The woman who has to condder the pen nies how they go, must eke out the num ber of her gowns by buying "bargains'' not always desirable in color or texture. And even if she can afford to pass by these cheap articles she may occasionally make a mistake and choose au unbecom ing garment; and while the woman of ample means can give away these un lucky purchases, her less fortunate sister must, with much vexation of spirit, wear out her 'mistakes." And unless one has the purse of Foiluuatus, it is almost impossible to obtain styles not in vogue. For instance, this season's styles in millinery are most becoming to the piquant, saucy featured damsels; but the Madonna-faced maidens who were be witching in the Gypsy bounet or direc toire hat, look ridiculous in the prevail ing lettuce leaf hat or clam shell bonnet, and there is nothing else to be had unless it is made to order. The woman of moderate means must often wear not what she would like, but what she cm afford, and only her wealthy sister who wears always what pleases her bei-r, may bo judged by her dress.
