Leg Bitten Off by a Shark. Admiral KemiT lias forwarded to the Navy Department an official re port, thrilling in its details, of tho liitinjr off of the leg of linarternias ter IS. McKiu, third class, of the Run boat Annapolis, by a shark or other mammoth sea monster. The Anna polis has been stationod of late at Iloilo, and on Juno 24th last a par ty was sent for rillo target practice. Commander Ilohror, in command of tho Annapolis, states that per mission was pi ven to several of the men to go swimming, while others were engaged in liring. Two of the men had been in for some time when McKie joined them and ask ed if they had been able to tonch bottom, r.eing answered in the negative, he made a dive and was gone for several seconds. One of the 6eamen says he heard a gurgling 6onnd beneath the water. A moment later McKie appeared on the surface and shouted, "Shark !" "Shai k !" The surface of the water was covered with blood near where became np. McKie started to swim, and although crippled, reached the boat and was pulled in by his com panions. A horrible sight met their eyes, the iiartermaster'8 leg having been bitten off near the knee. With all dispatch he was taken aboard the Annapolis, where the surgeon fonnd it necessary to'ampn tate tho limb between the knee and bip. The Bnrgeon, in his report, states that while the accident was not in the line of duty, it was inci dent to the service. Admiral Kemff, however, in indorsing the papers, holds that as the qnartermaster had received permission from the officer in charge to go in bathing, the ac cident occurred in the line of doty, lender these circumstances the crip pled quartermaster probably will re ceive a pension.

Ptmn. THE GOSPEL OP WAR. It mitrht bo inf'errod from tho non chalant tone with which eomoof our statesmen and military and naval experts disenss tho possibility of war between tho United States and Eu ropean powers that conflicts between nations are more trifles diversions to be ongagod in with lightness of heart, just as one would plan some mirthful entertainment. The fact that thousands of lives might bo tic riflced in battlo ; that tho deaths from discaso might be greater than tho losses iu actual fighting; that busi nesa would be unsettled and under somo conditions paralyz d by a pro tractod war; that jobbery and cor ruptioo might flourish in high places; that even the public con science might bo demoralized all these considerations are ignored. One hoars only the blare of tho t rum pets and the boating of tho drums, and soos only the flying banners and gleaming bayonets, which to the Mat ant fool make tho bright side of war. Tho devotees of Mars never lift tho curtain and show the snamy aide of blood letting, tho brutality una bar barity of war. Sometimes an Ameriuun states man, in tho namo of "patrio'ism," invites tho people of the I'uitcd States to prepare tlioimelvta for an "inevitable conflict" in tho early fn tnre with a European power Oor many, for instance Hie Kaiser, it is allegrd, lias sinister designs upon South America. It is high time for tho American people to call a halt upon thoso who are constantly preaching the gospel of war. The truest and bt st states manship is tho statesmanship of peace. Politicians who think popu larity depends upon fomenting dis sensions between natious ought to be shown the error of their ways. War is the greatest calamity that can happen to a people. It is too dread ful to be thought of except lor re lease from the rule of tynn's, or for the defense of one's country, or for the protection of vital interests. It is a crime for any one whether pol itician or professional soldier or sailor to engender strife between nations, to appeal to anti foreign prejudices, to hold up the people of a different nationality as objects of hatred ; to attribute to them sinister designs which have no existence ex cept in the imaginations of super heated "patriots. 1 hat is not pa- tnotism, it is not even common sense. It is the most mischievous form of jingoism, and it ought to be condemned by all eaue Americans. from the ijaltimore bun. Merchants, Take Notice. A correspondent at North Wilkes boro writes that Solicitor Mott has had a true bill brought against the merchants for not paying the license tax imposed by the legislature. We quote : "As the act has not yet been pub lished there was not a merchant in the county who knew anything about such a law, and be came in Saturday before court and examined the books and found none had been paid, so he told the county otlicers to keep it uiet till the grand jury met 11 is object seemed to be to got his fees. Our merchants decided to fight it and have employed counsel, so he seemed disposed to put it off, but our county oil leers seemed to be as greedy for tees almost as Mott. " the Sheriff has gone ahead col lecting $1 for State and $1 for coun ty when the County Commissioners have never levied any tax. lie says if the Commissioners do not take action later he will refund the $1 collected for the county. The priu cipal object seems to be groed for fees and the other, in which tho whole court seems to join, is a desire to cast a reflection on the last Leg islature and to make the people as mad with it as possible." We publish the above extract to warn merchants in other parts of Solicitor Mott's district to pay the tax imposed and save the costs. The laws have been sent to all the coun ty oflicers, and all merchants should pay the tax imposed at once. No solicitor ought to be bringing so many bills, but there are always those who put a desire for fees above all other ideas of official responsi bility. News and Observer. On Monday of last week, five miles above Elkin, Mr. Bob Cnm miu's 4 year old child was killed by a sawlog rolling over it. The child was playing on the mill yard and got above a log where the ground was rolling. The little one's ' weight started the log which caught its clothes and jerked it over in front of the rolling log, the full weight of which passed over the child. It is a sad accident, and no one is to blame for it. Such is life. To live is to be subject to accidents, and the worst may come to any of ns at any mo ment. Elkin Times.

In the timo before the civil war it was not necessary for parents to worry abont what their sons would do when thoy grew up. Outside the professions the great occupation wae raising cotton and tho avorage youth got a most excollent training on the plantation or farm. This training, togcthor with a common school or college education, turned out a young man at 21 years of age who was capablo of going immediately to work planting and producing cot ton or tobacco; occupations that wero amply respectablo, and when attentively followed, reasonably profitable. For thoso who had no taste for tho professions of law, medicine and the ministry there was always this unlimited opening and in growing up tho boys were always sufficiently in contact with it to qualify them to successfully conduct its operations. In tho new conditions that have developed since the civil war the situation of the youth as to future occupation is very materially changed. It has become important for parents to concern themselves while the son is yet young as to what ho is going to prepare himself to do in after lito. Education alone does not qualify a young man to mako a living. With or without education, experience and practical training are also necessary. Much of this experience and practical training could bo acquired at an early age if sonic care was taken to help a boy decido what he proposed to prepare himself to do and ho was brought into some sort of contact with his work while he was yet a boy. Evon if tho boy should afterwards conclude to change his first purpose, the practice and experience had in his first selection would not be lost. Tho contact of tho country boy with farm life and hip experience and training on tho farm is well known to give him preference in the city over the city boy with no training at all in almost any competition for a job. It is pitiable tho numlicr of well instructed youth tho colleges are turning out who have selected no particular occupation and who at '21 years aro in many caws tnoro help lees in a matter of actually doing something than farm boys 12 years old. In saying this there is no purpose to disparage education. On tho contrary, the room for further do velopment of education is practically unlimited. 1'ut the number of col lego graduates who each year start out hunting "positions," who are willing to undertake "almost any thing," but who are actually quali fied to get no fall or valuable result in any way, would bo very materi ally reduced if tho boys could be induced to make some effort to get some idea of the practical side of bis future occupation while yet young. Such apprenticeship or other work of training would put to profitable use much time that tho city boy now spends in idleness or puts to worse use. Tho boys of the Sonth are usually of the most excellent materi al and with a little judicial aid in boyhood to help them prepare for a life occupation it might be made much easier for them to prosperous ly embark at about 21 years of age on their life's voyage. Charlotte Observer. Congressman Bibcock's Purpose. "The letter of Congressman Dab cock, of Wisconsin, explaining the purpose ot his Tariff Amendment bill, is distinct and vigorous," says the Boston Herald. "Mr. Babcock recalls what a lot of sordid capitalists and cheap states men would like to have forgotten now, that the professed aim of the Republican tariff legislation was to protect labor and material. That aim has been accomplished in re spect of certain kinds of production, so that the industries have become giants such as the world has never before known, and the productions are exported like cotton, corn and wheat. "There is no longer need of a tariff which produces no revenue, and tho only effect of which is to compel our own people to pay for American goods more than foreign era pay for them, all for the enrich ment of the monopolists. He just ly says that, if a tariff is continued on such productions, the whole the ory of protection for the sake of the people falls to the ground. It be comes a tariff for tho oppression of the people. "Will the Republican party do anything to relieve the people from this wrong? Probably not. It is joined to its idols." Question Answered. Yes, August Flower still has the .argust sale of any medicine io the civil ized world. Your mothers' aud grand mothers' never thought ot using any thing else for Indigestion or Bilious ness.

To the love of mankind for the romantic and dramatic are to ba at tributed many of tho popular inci dents and utterances connected with great events and personages of his tory. Interesting compilations of those myths of history have been raado from time to time, shattering glittering fictions that have been masquerading as truth. To these compilations were added years ago a number of fictions that had grown up around our Civil War. Some of these, nevertheless, have since con tinued to reappear in spito of the fact that they have been frequently labeled as untrue. An illustration of the vitality of errors of this sort is furnished by tho jtersistency with which a story in connection with General Lee's surrender to General G rant has been repeated. The clos ing seo no of the great conflict was not sufficiently dramatic to suit the atrical minds, and accordingly the historical romancer endeavored to improve it by describing General Leo as offering his sword to Gunvral Grant at Appom tttox and tho latter, with the knightly magnanimity of the days of chivalry, as declining to roceivo it. This conceit of tho ro mancer made S pretty stage tableau, and it has so appealed to tho popu lar taste that it has maintained its place in front of tho foot lights to the present day, and so effectually as to deceive even somo of tho elect. In point of fact, as is shown by an old Confederate, Mr. Spottswood Bird, tho story is even more baseless thau the fabric of a vision, and is proved to be so not only by the t sti mony of Colonel Charles Marshall, of this city, who was present at the interview between Generals Leo and Grant, at Appomattox, as thesecro tary of the Southern commander, but by tho direct statement of Gen eral Grant himself in his memoirs. It would seem that this ought to give a final quietus to this melodram atic yarn. But like many other similar creations of the imagination it will probably bob up serenely again in the c ititse of time, and re quire further attention at the hands ot thoso to whom truth in hitttory seems bolter than fiction. Southern school historians should make a note of it and twit fall into the snare. From the Baltimore Sun. Men Caught Like Rats In a Trap. A Cleveland, Ohio, dispatch of August 14, says: Firo early to-day destroyed a temporary water works crib two miles out in the lake, result ing in the death of twelve men while several others were injured. Fire and harbor tugs, with rescuing par ties on boare, reached the crib soon after the Mimes broke out, but when they arrived the s'ueture was a seething mass of fiamee and all hope of saving it was abandoned. Men could lc distinguished swim ming and 11 lating in tho water and shouting for help. Others were clinging Ij ropes which they had hilched or tied to the rafters ; but the tl.-tmes were burning tho rafters away, whilo the men wore stark naked and one by one they were fall ing into the lake. Tho toga circled around the burning crib, pickinp up men from the water aud meantime playing heavy streams upon the flames. After an hour's hard work the llamea were diminished so the firemen could fight the fire. Then the horror of the calamity was first realized. Everything was a total wreck. While the firemen were pouring water on the flames there was a roaring furnace beneath which could not be reached. But the fire r.sn clung to their places and fought every inch of the way until the fire was under control. After two hours of hard work five charred human bodies were found burned beyond recognition. Two were in the atti tode of prayer. They must hare been awakened by the fire, but could not escHjHt. They were caught like rats in a trap. Cue body was burn ed al most to nothi ng. All that con Id be fonnd of it were a skull and some bones. The bodies of two other men lay close to those that were on their knees and looked as though they never knew what happened to them. They must have been suffo cated ere the flames reached them. It Was the Wronf Foot. It was a Pullman sleeper, and jut-t across from the bachelor's berth was a handsome little woman and her three year old boy. Erly in tbe morning the two were laughing and playing together and the good nat tired bachelor smiled to himself as he arose to drees. Suddenly a little foot peeped out from the curtains of the opposite berth, and with a twinkle in his eye the bache lor grabbed the plump toe and be gan : "This little pig went to market, this little--" "This is my foot, sir," said the in dignant voice of a woman. The silence that followed could be heard above tbe roar of the train. Chicago News.

"Talking of counterfeiters puts mo in mind of one, a notorious rascal, who was caught not long ago in this city while at his nefarious trado, said tho ex treasury official. WTho paper money this man pro duced was absolutely perfect in every detail but ono thing, and it seems strange that a man of his knowledgo and experience of the art of counterfeiting should not have known it." Here the treasury official took a $1 bill from his pocket. It was new and crii-p, and ho pointed out a diminutive letter C on the right under the bill's number aud another down in tho other corner. "Now," ho continnod, "1 don't siipMso there aro ten men in a hun dred outside tho Treasury Depart ment who know that these seeming ly unnecessary letters are on United States bills. And even if thoy had noticed thorn, I am willing to bet that not one of them culd tell what they signify." Handing another bill to the re porter, the ex treasury man asked him to nad the last four figures. They wore 5321. Tho treasury man said almost instantly, "Tho letter on that hill is B," which was correct. Half a dozon other bills were pro duced and when the treasury man was told tho last four figures of their nmnliers he was able to toll with liuhtinng rapidity what letter would be found on each bill. In each caso tho letter was either A, B C or 1). "Tho explanation is simple," said ho. "If you tako the last four figures of the number on any bill, no matter what its denomination, and divide them by four you will have a remainder of 0, 1, 2 or 3. If the remainder is zero the letter on the bill will bo A. If it is 1 the letter will he B. If it is 2 the letter will be C, and if it is 3 the letter will Ik) I). "This is one of tho many precau tions taken by the Government against counterfeiters. You can toil iiist.in'ly whether a bill is bad or good by making that teat. I woiildu t give a o-cent piece for a mm) bill, no matter how perfect it seemed, if its little letters did not correspond with tho remainder ob tained by dividing the last four fiirures of its number by four." Washington Star. The Mortality From Heat. "Now that the returns are all in," says the Philadelphia Medical Journal, "we can form somo esti mate of tho recent hot weather.

"It is a remarkable fact that nio6t of the suffering was in the North. Tho Southern cities were compara tively comfortable, and one news- Ktper in New Orleans invited orthern people to come to that city to escapo tho heat. A Boston paper at the same time reminded ns that 'at 11 miles up it is $3 below eoro. Loth suggestions wore lack ing in practicability. "It is well to remember that we are still in the midst of t he summer, and while we are not likely to have another such phenomenal 'hot wave,' we are still destined doubtless to have the weather uncomfortably warm. As a people, we havo not yet learned to endure our hot sum triers. Our houses, our clothing and our habits are not suited to them. It remains a grave problem in hygiene how to meet those emer gencies." Tbe Oldest and Best. S. S.

The "fresh" young man who feels obliged to carry a bottle with him to all places where he thinks he will not lie offered something "to wot his whistle" is rapidly passing away. The business world has no place for him and he ia growing into disfavor socially. Tho evidutico of th's is seen on every hand. A few days ago M. Jules Cambon, tho French ambassador to this coun try, said in an interview at Paris in speaking of the American people: "There may bo somo hyppoeritea among them, but the vast majority alstain from strong drink." Io commenting on this statement editorially the New York Sun ays : "It is true, as general observation must have discovered, that prudence in drinking all kinds of alcoholic liquors has increased and that total abstinence from them is relatively much more frequent than formerly. It is plain that the business con ditions of to-day require the services of sober men. No others need ap ply. Great enterprises can only bo carried on successfully by those who utili.d fully their physical energies. The hard drinker cannot command tho confidence of business men, hence those who indulge immoder ately in the ue of strong intoxicants sooner or later become loafers. It is a noticeable fact that the thriftiest communities after they got settled do ti to business produce tewor drunkards than those whore loafing is tho rule. Only a few days ago the news columns of The Journal showed that fewer licenses to liquor establish ments were granted in Atlanta dur ing tbe first six months of this year than for thosiune poriod of Ins' year, although the city hs8 in tho mean time grown largely in population. Ambitious men have learned that success can only come either in busi ncss li to or in tho professions ta those who keep their wits about them all the time and preserve themitlvst so as to be able physically to perform great labor. I his state of tilings has had its it fluence socially for apparent reasons, and hence those who at dinners and other social entertainments habitu ally indulge to the extent of obvions intoxication are no longer regarded with amusement but with com mis eration and as needing such tender care as is given to a sick man. It has always been a matter of re mark that in the duos m Atlanta there is very little immoderate drink ing. The young men are busy here, aud understand that the enterprise and sobrietv of their competitors will not suffer them to destroy or weaken thcircipacity bv indulgei ce in the use of strong stimulhtits Atlanta ((ia ) Jnunul.
