ton also, if he lives. A month or two ago
General A. R. Wright, representing the eighth
district in Congress, died. The home of Ste
phens is in this district.
So the night after the defeat, his friends
held sort ofimpromptu convention in room
of the Kimball House, and nominated him
for seat in Congress. The proceedings were
not exactly regular, Gas it is not usual to hold
conventions outside of the district for which
they are held) but no one, I fancy, will pick
flaws. About one hundred of his friends were
present. General Toombs was called to the
chair, and the object of the meeting stated.
The sum of the statement was that Georgia
should not lose the benefit of having her sa-
gest son in the councils of the nation. Unfor-
tunately, said General Toombs, he has been
defeated for the Senate, but we have met to
give him another place where the arena Of
his influence will be as wide. There were
four candidates in the field for Wright's place,
but they were withdrawn to make room for
the "great commoner." Messrs. Matthews and
Reid, two candidates, we're present at the
meeting and withdrew. Some friend of Judge
Hook withdrew that gentleman. General
Du Bose was withdrawn by his father-in.law,
General Toombs. The track was thus made
clear for "old Alex and he was put through.
When informed of the action of his friends,
the tears came to the old mans eyes, and he
gratefully and gracefully accepted. He said
if the people ratified the nomination he would
20 to Congress and do what he could to bring
the government back to the Jefersonian prin-
ciples.
That he will be elected there is no doubt,
whatever, if his life is spared. He is in bet
ter health now than he has been for several
years, and if he continues to improve he will
be able to get about without the aid of his
crutches. With these aids, however, he can
now walk mile or two each day without ex-
cessive fatigue. Hespeaks in standing po-
sition, supported by his left crutch. In this
he is superior to either Brownlow or Morton,
who have to make their speeches in sitting
position. Indeed, Brownlow cannot speak at
all, hardly being able to lift his voice above
whisper.

Another Sad Tiger Story:

A correspondent of the Times of In

says: "There was very sad occurrence
a few days back. The Patel Of village,
well known as a tiger shikaree, was
aroused late at night by ttimult in his
cattle-shed, and, peeping through the
crevices of door, discovered master

The Patel took DIP his gun and fred,

dropped mis- ptes and fed: The next
morning the Patel, accompanied by hfs
two brothers and Pardhi, (the first
armed with gun and sword, and the
remaining three with swords only,)
went in search of the animal, who was
easily followed, owing to the blood.
stains on his track. The tiger was first
seen by the Patel lying apparently help
less under bush, when he e'incautiously
rested his gun against the trunk OF a
tree; and approaching the tiger, pricked
him with the point Of his sword. On
this he suddenly sprang up with roar,
and struck the Patel senseless. The
two brothers then bravely attacked the
tiger with their swords, but both were
disposed of in the same manner. BY
this time the Pardhi came up, and
swathing his left arm in his dhotee,
thrust it into the tigers mouth, and
proceeded to hack him with his sword (;
but by this time the tiger was quite
spent, and quietly fell back dead. By
evening all three brothers died from in

When to Cut Timber.
Travelling Dresses.

For midsummer journeyings, dress
which separates at the waist, thereby
permitting the use of linen blouses, is
on every account most desirable. For
cooler wear, one of the new redingote
polonaises of gray de baize, with black
skirt, is the most serviceable suit. The
redingote polonaises of gray de baize,
with black skirt, is the most service
able suit. The redingote is very long
garment, fitting the figure behind, and
being double-breaste6 and loose, or
half fitting in front, as choice or neces-
sity dictates. It is closed in front by a
double row of large buttons-moulds
covered with the material or silk-and
has large square pockets, square cuffs,
and coat-collar either of the same, black
silk, or silk the color of the polonaise
A plain two-inch hem edges it, and it is
looped behind, and left open halfway
down the front. 1t covers the skirt so
much that an old one will answer excel
lently, thereby saving a good one for a
more important occasion. Linen dus-
tiers are not only convenient but neces-
sary to comfort in a journey of more
than few hours. They are made either
with skirt and half-ftting sacque,
which can be slipped over the dress
(and we think this the most convenient
form), or in loose, gown-like garment,
covering the dress to within few inch
es of the bottom, and provided with
sleeves that draw round the hand with
an elastic. Buff linen co lars and cuffs
are used especially for car-wear, and do
not show soil so soon as white but for
long trips we recommend paper cuffs
and collars, which are now made in
pretty shapes for ladies, and can be so
readily renewed that the wearer need
never look otherwise than fresh and
neat.

Unintent.onal Cannibalism.

The following anecdote is told Of Sir
Bartle Frere when at Zanzibar: Sir
Bartle and his son, during an expedition
cup country" had imprudentiy wan
dered from their escort and lost their
way. After some time they perceived q
negro's hut, and, tired and hungry,
proceeded to claim hospitality. An old
negress appeared at the door and gave
them some eggs, which our savoy at once
converted into omelette, and seeing
numbers of little round black balls sus-
pended from the roof, and fancying
them to be mushrooms, popped them
into the pan, utterly disregarding the
old woman's anxious remonstrances.
After their meal in came the owner of
the cabin, who, on learning what his
visitors had done, broke into violent
rage. Miserable strangers, cried he,
"you have eaten all my war trophies )"
and, in answer to Sir Bartle's inquiries,
informed him that what he had taken
for mushrooms were no less than the
ears of his enemies whom he had killed
in battle. Sir Bartle Frere was i'll with
indigestion for four days.-Paris FL

A Paris Industry.

There is in Paris, says the London
Echo, an aged woman, who has for the
last fifty years, supported herself by an
industry of which, we believe, she en-
joys complete monopoly. She sup
plies the Garden of Acclimatization, in
Paris, with food for the pheasants,
which food consists entirely of ants
eggs. These she collects in the woods
around Paris, and receives about twelve
francs for the quantity she brings back
from each of her foraging expeditions.
These generally last three or four days,
during which she sleeps on the field of
action, in order to watch the insects at
dawn, and to find her way to. their
treasures. She is almost deyoured by
the ants, an inconvenience of which
she takes little notice, but at the end
of her harvest-time, which lasts from
the month of June to the end of Sep
tember, her whole body is in truly
pitiable condition. Her services are, of
course, highly valued, for, as there is at
present no competition in this line of
industry, it would be difficult to supply
her place.

At this time he had never seen statuary,

Seasoning Timber.

Experience has shown that the more
rapidly lumber can be seasoned in open
air the bettesthe quality, and the less
liable it is to be affected by the variable
ness of the atmosphere. During the
month of June, July, and August the
air is dryer than at any either period,
and consequently better adapted to
seasoning timber. Planks or boards
should be piled up under sheds open on
all sides, to allow of q free circulation
of air in no case ought lumber to be
subjected to the rays of the sun and
rain, and it should be elevated two feet
above the ground. If the shed has q
floor it will be much the better. AS
soon as the moist weather of the fall
months commences the sheds should be
enclosed on all sides, and opened only
on clear, dry days. Lumber well
"stuck up" under sheds of this kind
will dry out in two seasons, and retain
all the neutral strength and elasticity
of the timber. The bark should always
be removed from white oak and hickory.
The growing scarcity of lumber neces-
states more care in seasoning if we
would prevent prices advancing too
rapidly.

CHARITY ABRoAD.-A worthy but SIM
pie minded deacon, one of the Pilgrim
Fathers, was in the habit of drawing
his salary every Saturday afternoon in
silver, and dispensing it among the
poor people on the way home from the
treasury-half dollar to one, a quarter
to another, and so on, until he had not
much to bring back to his wife. She,
mindful of the old saying that charity
begins at home, and not at all relishing
being muIcted of her dues, instructed
the treasurer, when giving her husband
his salary, to tie it up in handkerchief
with so many and such tight knots that
he could not dispense it in driblets as
heretofore. On arriving at the first
house, he fumbled for long time with
the handkerchief, but it resisted his
endeavors. "Dear friend" said he to
the proprietor, "it is evidentto me that
the Lord intended the whole OF it for
thee :" and SO saying, he gave the
handkerchief to her, and went home to
his wife empty-handed.

A Shah Story.

According to the reports the English
are getting up some singular amuse-
ments for the Persian monarch. A paper
says the Shah was greatly entertained
by the Marquis of Queensberry, who
brought to the palace number of prize
fighters. General Hardinge, who was
on duty at the time, was quite Mortified.
"How many of them have you got ?"
asked he of the Marquis. "Six," was
the reply. "My God" exclaimed the
General, "we can't let six go in they
might knock us all on the head and walk
off with all the jewels and plate" A
compromise was effected; two of the
best of the bruisers were allowed to
enter with the Marquis they first
fought with each other, and then the
Marquis, who is the best boxer in the
kingdom, tried few rounds with each
of them, handsomely drawing the claret
from one and knocking the other down.
The Shah was perfectly charmed. He
said it was the best thing he had seen
in England. He gave each of the men
a handful of coin, and bestowed upon
the Marquis magnificent pipe, mount
ed with rubies and emeralds.

The Next Political Issue in Iowa.

A dispatch from Des Moines, Ia., says
that at an Anti-Monopoly Convention
held there full county ticket was NOM
mated and delegates elected to State
convention. Resolutions were passed
declaring that no support should be
given to any man for office who is not
in full sympathy with the producers
and manufacturers and opposed to
monopolies also declaring that the
doctrine of the vested rights of railroad
corporations which exempts them from
legislative control has no place in the
jurisprudence of free people; de-
manding reform in the matter of the
salaries of public officers; denouncing
the back pay matter, and demanding
political reform and strict economy in
State and county affairs. The resolu
tions also invite all persons to partici-
pate in this movement.

characteristics of Inebriety.

From a recent official paper concern
ing the number of annual convictions
on account of drunkenness in England
and Ireland, it appears that out ofevery
ten thousand Englishmen fifty-nine
make themselves obnoxious to the law
against drunkenness while out of an
equal number of Irishmen one hundred
and forty-seven are guilty of similar
offence. In considering these figures
some account is to be made of the Irish
tendency to "humor" when infamed
with whisky; whereas, the English
man, when drunk, is often more solemn
and oracular than when sober. The
Irishman instinctively looks for head
to break; the Englishman simply reels
in the serene consciousness of intense
respectability.
