NATURALIZATION 0ycg v0rr


We have answered. probably, Il hundred tlmes

naturalization of father also naturalize his

That is 10 say. il smith on the day OF becOn-

dozen cbildrcn. mono of whom are yet 2l
years old. they become natnrtllzed by the
fathers act. But ii amy son l. q years old be-

intended TO become citizen. But IN one ease

if there be truth in his charges, let that truth

The Assembly, we note, has unanimously im-

If we could answer this question, to the prac-
teal satisfaction of the public, We have no doubt
we should get premium. How to make money,
as to acquire riches speedily is the all-absorb-
ing question of this age. Too many, we fear,
have tried it by following the advice of the
father who said to his son: My son, the world
owes yoa a living; if you can get it honestly, do
so; but if you cannot, why get it,
The failure of many to grow rich has now been
reduced to mere struggle for bread. This may
seem to be hard fate, yet it must be endured
until it is cured. How shall it be done? Work,
hard work, is the thing. Let it be the rule to
be at it early and keep at it. Be sober, be hon
est. but keep out of debt-to the printer, espe-
eialy and to all others, Spend less than .you
make and neuer go an debt That is the secret
Of getting rich in one line. If you can make
one cent over your expenditures the first day,
and double it the next, and 60 on doubling for
every day, except Sunday for ten years, you will
be rich man Make the calculation. Try it
even for one year. Nay, suppose you save one
cent the first day, and double it the next, and so
doubling and saving for only t,centy-sir ,eork-
eng dogs, and you will be worth s671 ,O88 Ga, at
the end of the month i-Roleigh Sentinel.

An Expert Drummer.

\ correspondent writes "a very curious
performance presented for the amusement of the
people Of Berlin, Prussia, is the drum concert of
the celebrated drummer, Mr. Julius Weiffenbach
on sixteen drums, with forty-eight drum-sticks
Sixteen drums are placed on iron supporters in
two rows. Those at both ends are placed little
higher, so that the double row of drums form an
arch. The artist shows first his skill on a single
drum, and | never suspected so much music in
that single instrument. The orchestra COM
meneed then to accompany Mr. Weiffenbach s
play the sixteen drums. To describe it is
quite impossible. The artist seems almost
frantic, and his movements would honor an
acrobat. Without interrupting the tune for a
single moment, he throws his drum sticks about
in all directions, catching them again. In the
same manner he catches those thrown to him by
his attendant Having concluded this wonder
full athletic musical performance, the artist again
shows his skill on single drum, which he places
on the back of a chair, catching drum sticks with
still greater dexterity than before. In fact, the
sticks are continually flying in the air, so that
you get quite dizzy with looking at them"

A New Engine of Death.

We had thought that nitroglycerine was a
tolerably destructive agent. Some Prussan
chemists have, however, succeeded in concen-
trating it into solid, which is not at all danger
Gus to handle, while its explosive power is far
greater than that of the comparatively sreok fluid
from which it is extracted. 1t is sad that a
small bombshel of this concentrated preparation
will burst to shivers the strongest iron-clad as
soon as it touches it.
We rejoice at this discovery; for let two iron
clads, for example be each furnished with six
FOUNDER with big slug filed with this new ex-
plosive, what would be the consequence? Would
they fight, when each would be infallibly sent to
the bottom by shot from the other? Not at
all; they would become exceedingly polite, the
officers would haul alongside each other, and
only fire at each other with champagne corks.
We hope that all the missiles of war will soon be
missiles of certain death. Then wars will cease,
and the millennium will come-but net till then.

AN INNOCENT VICTIM OF LYNCH LAW
There lately appeared an account of the hanging
of supposed horse-thef by mob or selfstyled
vigilance committee, between GAINESVILLE and
Waverly, Iowa. Fuller particulars have since
transpired in regard to the affair." which place it
in an entirely different light and reveal the hor
rible fact that an innocent man has suffered
death at the hands of the mob. It seems that
two young men, partially intoxicated, took the
horses and rode them down to Cedar Fall, and
after they got there turned them loose. Nc
Roberts was arrested at GAINESVILLE as the sup
posed thief, and hung. When the farmer got
home he found the animals there. One of the
chief leaders of the mob is the deputy sheriff of
the county.

Canine and Feline jealousy,
A New York letter contains the following


A striking case of jealousy in an animal Or,
Cured last evening. We have Newfoundland
dog, who has been a great favorite in the house
and the recipient of much attention A few
DAYS ago we brought home couple of pointer
pups. which became objects of great attraction
with young and old. The old Newfoundland
dog at once manifested great displeasure on the
pups making their appearance. Whenever the
Juveniles have petted or played with them he
has growled and looked as savage and morose as
could be, and he has become an altogether
changed animal since their coming. Last even.
ing while they were being caressed and fonded
by the juveniles, the jealous old Newfoundland
with ferocious glare in his eye, seized the head
of one of them in his mouth and crushed the life
out of it in moment. On relating the crcum
stance this morning to gentleman who has had
much experience with Newfoundlands, was
surprised to be informed that of all breeds Of
dogs they are the most treacherous and jealous.
They can never bear to see any other dog receive
attentions, and will take most bitter dislike to
the bestower or recipient of such attentions, and
cherish their dislike for long period. At the
same time they combine with this treachery and
jealousy many splendid qualities. A friend tells
me that cat which has been great favorte
with his children, and played with them con-
stantly, suddenly refused to have anything more
to do with them when he introduced little ter
rier into the house few days ago. Now on
coming home at night, the cat flies at the dog
the moment the door is opened, and, having en-
deavored to scratch or bite it, skulks away and
remains out of sight all the evening.

Brazilian Cotton Seed.

The Macon Journal says that '>Ex-Senator
Iverson and his brother, have planted almost
twenty-five acres of cotton of this seed, and they
anticipate the production of better cotton than is
usually sold in this market. They have planted
on what is known the Stephens place, few
miles above town, on the Ocmulgee. Several
years ago Mr. Stephens paid $40 for small
handful of the seed, and last fall succeeded in
getting the first bale to market He got 10
cents per pound advance on the regular rates,
and this fact proves what the seed will do But
the question naturally arises, will not the seed,
like others, become acclimated in few years
and become like the rest? question must be
thought of while determining the point which is,
where did it come from? 1t is not from Brazil,
as the name would lead one to infer or at least
not directly. 1t may be to the manor born, and
therefore will not have to be accimated at all
Our wishes in the premises are that the seed will
turn out all that is claimed for it, and that cur
planters will succeed in producing staple supe-
rior to anything in the world"
