THE moit sulking feature of the Grr nd Army reunion at Louisville J'R the general and cordial frat'-raization of the Federal and Confet^rE^e soldiers. It seems strange vo civilians that men. who were once engaged iu the gx*im work of trying to kill each other should now meet in the most friendly spirit uiid "drink from the same canteen but the truth is that the men who did the fighting in Uie war cherljh noue of the litfrenuss which is frequently manifested by those who staid at home. The soldiers on the two sidehave a feeling of COIUIF leship that implies mutual respect l' the courage aud fortitude that they respectively displayed.

only in town but tLron. 'li the
conntry. The following mt'.cle v, hi ill we publish, from the Gre3*wood Graphic, shows the value of The J. T. Polk e-tnb-)i?hmeut to that- place.
Tlio fi uit pacLin^ e-t .-.bli'sliment of J. T. Polk is much more of a benefit to the people of this community than one would at first imagine, la Khelbyvil'Ie there were formerly ei^'u fni jii ure factories, and when they were all rimuiug they would distribute each week $5,000. This we thought, was wonderful! But Mr. Polk d.'stiibutfs enough money to make an average of $5,000 fer week for the enyear. The pea crop cost $75,000. This amount wrs distributed among fanners and employees, 75,000divided by by 5,000 gives the qnoticn of 15. So the pea crop alone would supply a weekly distribution of $5,00for fifteen weeks. But there are more each of tomatoes and corn tsac peps. But suppose they were all three equal. The $5,000 weekly average would last for forty-five weexs. The eight furniture factories of Siielbyv'lle are nearly a'l shut down now, avid those that are running are uc:ing only about hi]? force. Mr. Polk neve curs down his force. Again, the fumitore f?of n'os a! ve mentioned all use the very narrowest- and most selfish policy with their men. In fact, they have got to do so in order to succeed. Mr. Polk uses the broadest and most liberal policy with all of the people associated with him. Taking it all in a'l, the people of Greenwood are more fortuuate than their neighbors of Shelbyville.

Mrs. Lydia A. Keifer. aged about 49, cook at Cummins' restaurant, had the misfortune to fal1 and break her light leg this morning. She bad just finished scrubbing the kitchen and wa? close to the back door where there is a small offset and she accidentally slipped and broke both bones of her leg. Dr. N. P. Howard was called and rendered merMc^I aid and she is now resting 83 cv.sily as could be expected.

THE GREATEST SPARKLER.
The Excelsior Diamomtl Traveled Under a Military Escort.
When a diamond is found weighing more than 100 carats, the news is usually heralded with ninch ado. It is net to be wondered at therefore if the finding of the "Excelsior" created considerable excitement. It weighed in the rough 971 carats, and was found near Jagersfontein, in the Orange Free State. "When examined, it was found to be a white stone cf tho first water, but had a small flaw in the center. The inspector of the mine, a Swede named Jorgenson, was the luekv finder. The proprietors of the mine, Breitniayer & Bernheimer, had the stone tested and valued by experts, who agreed that- the value was £5,000,000. Two offers of QC,000,000 and $-1,250,000 respectively Lave liecn refused ly tlio proprietors. Upon its transfer to the coast great precautions were for its protection. A squanron of cavalry escorted it to the railway station. In Cape Town it was placed aboard the British gunboat Antelope, wliieh carried the precious gem to London, where it now rests in the fire and burglar proof vaults of the Bank of England.
The next largest, diamond in the world is the one owned by the :jah of Matan on the island of Borneo. This one weighs 367 carats. Tho handsomest of all the large diamonds known is, however, the one in the French collection of crown '."jewels known as tho "Regent," which, we'giis ISO
5.,
carats. Louis XV paid
8,000,000 francs for it, but now it is valued at 10.000,000 francs or $3,000,000.
How much I he "Excelsior" will lose in cutting can only be decided by most eminent experts. As a rule, tho larger diamonds lose fully one-half of their weight in this operation. Naturally the cutting, wliieh is done with a view to having as few large pieces as possible outside of the main gem, must be earned on with the greatest care. This business is carried on mainly in Amsterdam and Antwerp. In Amsterdam there are at present five large concerns of diamond cutters, with 872 diamond mills or cutting wheels and 3,000 hands, besides a large number of less important concerns. —Philadelphia Record.
Japan's Grand Old Man.
Yukichi Fukuzawa is tho Grand Old Man of Japan, although he is about 20 years younger than the members of that more famous triumvirate—Gladstone, Bismarck and Li Kung Chang. More than any other man, says a correspondent, he has brought Japan to that position which she now holds among the civilized nations of the world. Thirtyfive years ago he visited this country, and on his return home introduced the Webster Dictionary to his countrymen, a book that is considered the foundation of Japan's intellectual power. He also introduced English into all the schools. In days when Japan was divided into two parties—one for and the other against foreigners—he advocated tho opening of his country to the new world, aud his book in behalf of western civilization, which he wrote from his studies and travels in America, had a consid. erable effect in restoring to the throne the dynasty of which the present em: pcror is a member.
The Jiji Shimpo (The Times newspaper) is his organ, and although he does not actively manage it his sons are the editors, and its influence is widespread, doubtless because it is independent in every sense. Perhaps his greatest benefaction was the founding of a school known as the Kewgijiuku university, which is second only to the Imperial university of Tokyo in point of numbers and iank of scholarship. Mr. Fukuzawa comes from the common people and is known as the "great commoner," and what shows above all the character of the man is that he has never allowed himself to be carried away by his success and has modestly refused to accept decorations, honors or even the peerage from the mikado.—Detroit Free Press.
The Wreck of the Jason on Cape Cod.
A half mile away the prow of the wreck Jason, with its white figurehead, rose clean out of the water, standing where she struck the night of the oth of December, nearly two years- ago. The iron schooner broke clean in two that night with the first shock, and the waves rushed over her stern, which sank like lead into the sand. Twenty-seven men went down with it, and next morning 26 dead bodies lay upon the shore in among the scattered bales of jute that had formed the cargo. But the twentyseventh, reaching the shore alive, managed to clutch hold of one of the bales of the floating cargo and kept his footing.
He was a young fellow, a prentice lad out of an English rectory, and he was very nearly exhausted with the struggle, but he staggered on along the sand through the storm until he met the squad of the life saving crew coming to give help where there was only one man left to need it, and catching at the first man he cried out to know that he was safe. When they told him that he was, he fell down in a faint, and was carried to the station like a log. The letter his father wrote in gratitude for their care of him is kept among the records of the station, and it is one of the few pleasant things to remember about the most terrible wreck that had ever lain on the dangerous Truro coast.— Letter in Boston Transcript.
"A Remarkable Dwarf.
There lives at Marion, Ind., a dwarf, Janie Loder by name, who is 54 years old, 47 inches high and weighs about 04 pounds. She is the daughter of wealthy parents, who at death left her a fortune. Her favorite pastime is playing with children and dolls, having a family of about 15 of the latter. She speaks of herself as a little girl, and her favorite topic of conversation is what she will do when she "grows up." One of her peculiarities is that among gentleman friends the larger in stature are her ohoice. She is in good health and may live for many years.—Exchange.
The Banuer of Light is, as every one knows, oue o" the most successful denominational pu1 Mca"ons issued in this country.
In its 77ch volume it is at once conservative aud bright, discussing not only modern Spiritualism, but frequently lending its influence fearlessly in matters of public importance outside its principal field.
Mr. John W. Day, who is the editor and one of the proprietors, writes in The Banner of Light as follows to the proprietors of Paine's celery compound: "I owe you a debt of gratitude in placing OH the market such a nerve-easing and and soothing remedy as Faines' celery compound. was brought to my notice by a friend who had himself been greatly relieved by its use, as I have also been. "I have frequently taken occasion to commend Paine's celery compound to others, and I do not know an instance wherein, if faithfully tried, it has not worked a benefit. "Yours truly, John W.Day."

His gratitude for the good that this greatest of remedies has done him is in' no sense remarkable. Thousands who have been made well by Paine's celery compound have sent their unsoclicitedtestimenials tothe-proprietors of the remedy or direct to medical journals or newspapers telling for the benefit of others the results that followed the use of the remedy that is food for the nerves and brain, that enriches the blood, that make the weak strong, and is the one nervefailing specific, prescribed by physiciah? and recommended by ail who have e\er faithfully used it, for insomnia, nervous debility, neuralgia, rheumatism, indigestion and the many ills that come from de. ranged, worn-out nerves and impure blood. t*
