A Gun With a History- Will Wallace, a young color ed man, was rabbit liuntiiigklast Thursday when his gun was ac cidentally discharged and the entire load passed through the flesh of his left arm. Wallace was lighting a cigarette and tucked the muzzle of the gun under his left arm, when by some means it was discharged with the result stated. The wound is not considered seri ous. The gun with which Wallace was shot has a history. It was .formerly owned by the late Milas Tomlin, colored, and on one occasion it went off too soon and disfigured his countenance. Later it was accidentally dis charged and killed a son of the late Isham Dean, colored. The " 7 gun then fell into th the hands of Will Stewart, color ed, and on one occasion the tube new out and tore up his face. Wallace is its latest victim and probably the last. There is an impres sion that the gun is a 'f hoodoo", and it will probably be broken up. Statesville Landmark. The Kavaees of Grip.

Quietly Mrs. Gladstone, with her sweet, motherly face, and 'who always accompanied her husband, stood up, and, opening a do mestic looking umbrella of the Gamp species, held it over him. Tlie spectacle which the old couple presented there standing together was so touching and appealed so thoroughly to the good feelings of the crowd, be cause of the striking picture of Darby and Joan domesticity, that when a burly costermonger, who had been loudest in his catcalls and hooting of Mr. Gladstone up to that moment, suddenly - shouted, Three cheers for the grand old wo man S" every one responded with a will. Lady Beaconsfiold showed similar devotion to Gladstone's great rival on more than one occasion. She, too, was devoted to her husband, and many old parliamentarians recall the sto ry of how after having had her hand terribly crushed in the carriage door while driving down to the house of parlia ment with Disraeli she refrain ed from uttering a cry or from saying a word about her injury lest his mind should be diverted from the great and important speech which lie was t deliver that night. It was not until he reached home and found the doctor at her bedside that he was made aware that slie had sustained anv hurt. New York Herald.

A Chair His Coffin- . Reuben John Smith died at his boarding place, in Green's Block, early this morning. It, will be remembered that Mr. Smith had a costly marble tomb or sarcophagus erected at Mount Prospect cemetery last fall, in which he stated he wanted to be placed after death sitting in a chair, and under no consideration was he to be put in a casket or buried in the ground. The chair arrived Inst week and was taken to the tomb. His plans will bo ful filled, Mr. Smith was 71 years of age, and little is known of him, furthef than that be came here in 1807 from Buffalo, N.

The man who thinks he is a rapid dresser was in a cafe at Broadway and Twenty-sixth street, with half a dozen friends at six p. m., says the New York Tribune. He was in afternoon dress. Being invited to stroll down the street, he answered that he was afraid he did not have time, as he. had a seven o'clock dinner engagement and must go home "in a few minutes to dress." "I should think," said one of the party, "that if you had far to go you would be late to your engagement as it is." "Oh, no," answered the other. "It's true that I shall have to go to Fifty-ninth street to dinner, but I have ample time." "Well," said another, "if I had a seven o'clock dinner engagement I certainly should not be sitting here at six. I'd be home dressing." "I'll tell you what I'll do," said the rapid" dresser. "I live at Fifth avenue and Twenty-seventh street. I'll bet that I'll leave here now, go home and dress, -come back here, take a drink with you all, walk to the nearest elevated station three blocks ; go to Fifty-eighth street, walk two blocks to the house where I dine and all within ten minutes before seven o'clock." "I'll not take the bet," was the re ply, "but I don't see how it can be clone Why, you will need half an hour at the least to dress. I require nearer ah hour." "I'll make . you another proposi tion, then," said the "lightning change" man. "I'll bet you that I walk home from herej dress, come back here and join you before six- twenty-five o clock, and it'3 now eight minutes past the hour." "Donel" cried the other, and the rapid dresser immediately left the cafe. "I guess I've won that bet," said the taker, glancing confidently at the clock. "I guess you - haven't," said an other one of the group. "Jack can dress in ten minutes on a pincb. . It will take him not more than four, possibly only three, minutes for him to walk to his home and back here. Give him four for walking and eleven for dressing, and he still has a leeway of two minutes. Wait and seel" ' At six-twenty-three o'clock the fast dresser strolled into the cafe. He was in full evening dress, his hair carefully and smoothly plastered, his tie fastened and-set to perfec tion, and his whole appearance that of a man who had a lot of time to kill. "Guess I won the bet," he said, coolly, drawing a chair to the table and removing his gloves. Where Giants Come From. Nearly every race has contributed to giantism, but the English have furnished far the larger portion, partly, perhaps, because the Eng lish have always been fond of seeing giants and paying for the privilege, thereby drawing the merit of physi cal bigness, which has always been modest, out of its undeserved ob scurity. Next to the English, the Irish have supplied the largest num ber, but the Irish giant is rarely grown nowadays, since that stock has been drawn upon so heavily by America. Germany and the United States have supplied, each, eight or nine men .who have won publicity and fame by their exuberant physique. It seems to be the central and west ern states that supply the American giants, and our war records show that in these regions, together with Maine and, Vermont, the average stature isithe highest. There have been French ""and Italian, negro and Arab giants, but the number is, few, and it is evident that the temperate zones-and the large races supply the most cases of giantism. It is a curious' fact that since Biblical days there have been no giants among the Jews. Scrib ner's Magazine. Modern Matrimonial Tale. He was asking the old man for his daughter m marriage. He was talk ing tremblingly, hesitatingly," as you read of in story books, and the scene was full of coloi', so far as an irate father a id a nerveless young man could make it. It came the old man's turn to speak, and his voice shook with excitement. "You want to marry my daughter?" he said. "Ah, now is the time for ray revenge. Twenty years ago your father crip pled me iu a stock deal, and I swore to be revenged. Now my time has come." He paused for breath, and the aspirant for the maiden's hand was about: to beat a hasty retreat in the face of supposed defeat, when the father broke forth again: "Yps, sir; I swore to be re venged, and now I'll strike the father through the son. Want my daughter, eh? Well, take her, and may she prove as expensive to you as she has to me."' The old man dropped into his chair, worn out with the excitement of his plot, and the 3'ourig man fainted. ' An Uncertain Disease. There is no disease more uncertain in its nature than lygpepsia.
