stantial citizens, died at home at

for some time he was around attend-
ing to his work as usual and his death
was quite sudden and unexpected,
Deceased was born at Baileyville
January 12, 1841, thus being in his
pixty-sixth year. After he grew to
manhood he followed milling for =
number of years and later bought a
farm and has since tilled the soil. He
proved one of the most successful
farmers in the county. In August,
1862, he enlisted as a private in Com-
pany H, 148th Regiment and served
until the close of the war,
He was twice married and is sur.
vived by his second wife and four
children to his first wife, as follows :
Mrs. James Gardner and Mrs, Matilda

Peculiar Cestom of the Arab Ladies
of Zanzibar,
The Arab ladles of Zanzibar live In
great seclusion In the large white
houses, never going out in the daytime
from one year's end to another, says
the Manchester Guardian. A little
cooking and sweetmeat making Is their
suly recognized employment, though
some few of them can do beautiful
slik embroidery. To lle on thelr beds
and be fanned by their slave girls is
the usual occupation of the richer
women,
1f they want to visit their friends, or,
gs 1s more often the case, to perambu-
fate the town, they walt until 8 o'clock
in the evening, when a gun is fired
warning all Mohammedans that it is
the fifth and last hour of prayer; then
they may go out. They are entirely
enveloped In large mantles and thelr
faces completely hidden by very ugly
gilt masks, with oblong slits for the
eves, and many of them wear these
even in the privacy of thelr own homes,
Their other garments are trousers and
a tunic reaching below the knee, which
is often embroidered and trimmed with
gold brald. They have a number of
gold and silver ornaments, nose rings
and earrings, bracelets, anklets, and
£0 on.
They are very light in color, many of
them cream colored, Thelr features are
regular and good, and they have dark
eyes and silky black hair. They paint
under thelr eyes and stain their hands
and nails a reddish color with senna.
If they want to go any distance from
home they ride through the narrow
streets on large white asses stained a
brick red, their slaves running by thelr
sides, but you generally meet them
stalking solemnly along, surrounded by
their slaves, who carry enormous lan-
terns as big as a London street lamp.
Very often they do not return home
till 4 in the morning, when another
gun is fired proclaiming the first hour
of prayer. It is very awkward at times
when you meet in the streets some of
these ladles whom you ought to know
and are greeted by them, You cannot
see their faces, it is not always easy
to recognize a volee, and nothing w ould
offend them than to ask thélr
names

FREAKS OF THE LAVA,
Some Curious Incidents of an Over
flow of Vesuvius.
At one house, which had been entire-
ly surrounded by the flood, but not de-
stroyed, one saw people, on top of the
mass of lava, entering the upper win-
dows with a ladder and bringing forth
their household goods to transport
a place of safety. One vine-

Step by step the priests and the faith-

sound of singing and prayer rose above

thunder of the mountain above, belch-

bombs and enormous swirls of cinder,
sand and smoke, which rose to great

surrounded by the torrent, crushed
down and disappear in smoke; now a

Gluttonous Esklhmos.
The eating powers of the Eskimos,
if the tales told in the books of north-

most extraordinary. One writer tells
of a young man scarcely full grown

of frozen sea horse flesh, four pounds
and four ounces of sem horse flesh
broiled, one pound and 1 welve ounces

WATERLOO,
Grouchy Was Solely to Blame For
the Downfall of Napoleon,
Napoleon would have won the battle
of Waterloo had Grouchy prevented
the junction of the Prussians with the
English army, because he would not
have had to fight two battles at once.
Few persons realize that the so called
battle of Waterloo
double battle, somewhat like Jena and
Auerstadt. Napoleon fought one bat-
tle at Waterloo against the English.
On the arrival of the Prussians he was
forced to go in person toward Planche-
noit and there fight another battle
against the Prussian army, leaving to
Ney the conduct of the troops at Wa-
terloo. It is a well known maxim in
war that a very great or decisive vic-
tory cannot be gained unless one com-
meander makes & serious blunder of
which the other takes immediate ad-
vantage. It is very evident that the
fact of the emperor having to fight
two battles at once instead of concen-
trating his attention on one alone enor
mously increased the possibility of a
mistake. Moreover, Napoleon did not
have the able lieutenants of his former
campaigns Desaix, Kleber, Lannes
and Bessieres were dead, Massena and
Macdonald had taken the oath of alle-
glance to the Bourbons, and Murat had
split with the emperor. Napoleon's
personas! attention was therefore im-
perative. To Grouchy alene all blame
must be attributed, for had he prevent
ed the union of the Prussians with the
English the emperor would have had
to fight only one battle at a time and
could have given entire personal
attention to that one battle,
In the second place, Napoleon would
pot have been forced to fight with 71,
O47 men against two armies numbering
about 125.000-—npearly two to one
against him. He would have had 71,-
047 good soldiers pitted against a raw,
undisciplined army of 67,661 men un-
der the Duke of Wellington, which was
pot only inferior in mere numbers, but
far Inferior in morale and experience

“That man's watch holds the record

oiling and cleaning, it has never need-
ed a repair. 1 know lots of men who
