the apathy, not to say compla-
cency, with which the old citi-
zens regard these quarrels Of
the ''carpet-baggers and scala

When one kills another they
have nothing to say about it.,

acumen can discover that ''it is
not their funeral"
They cherish the utmost COLI

who trade in politics, and de-
nounce them as a pack Of rapa-

Fast Time.

A special train on the Mobile
and Texas road left this city at
7.90 A. M. Tuesday morning for
Mobile, and arrived there at 1898
o'clock, thus going a distance of
l40 miles in three hours aud three
minutes. Sixteen minutes Of this
time were, however, lost in taking
in wood and water, which makes
the actual running time two hours
and forty-seven minutes-the fast
est time OH record in the South.
The occasion of this somewhat
unusual achievement was the visit
of Mr.. Deleon's dramatic .compa-
ny to Mobile, to play at a matinee
entertainment, and its return to
this city in time for the regular
evening performance at the Va
rieties Theatre.
We understand that in the home
trip the train accomplished the
really wonderful feat of running
seventy miles in a single hour

Forty Days Drinks.

In the General Term Of the
Supreme Court, at Buffalo, a case
has been recently reported which
may be interesting to drinking
men, who seek to recover money
thrown away while they are on a
spree. The case originated in
Watertown, n. Y One Hay es,
a man Of wealth, of Incorporate
habits, was subject to sprees,
which sometimes lasted for weeks
and months. In Nay be got on
one OF his tantrums, drinking and
Carousing, invirng everybody to
drink, sometimes twenty-five to
thirty at IA time. This "spree"
continued until the last of July.
His bill at the tavern where be
had thus carried on was 5000, and
Hayes gave checks ahd notes in
payment. When he got over bis
drunken trolic he sued the hotel
keeper to recover back the money
which the latter had drawn on the
notes and checks. In the course
of the trial it came out how much
drink the plaintiff had consumed
during the forty days be was
thus IN the "wiiderness" of maud
lin insanity. The evidence show
ed that he consumed in that time
as follows: l76 bottles of Hen
messy brandy. Is bottles of whis.
ky, 3l4 drinks of whisky. and
487 drinks of ale and porter. The
Court decided he could not recov-
er back the money, iuasmuch as
it appeared the checks and notes
were given mornings when Hayes
was sober.

Parson Brownlow concludes his
letter in opposition to the Civit
Rights bill as follows:
at should be remembered thad
the colOred race. though large iu
numbers. constitute a very small
minority of the whole people of
the United States. However
strongly united, they have no
power to compel concessions from
the whites. Whatever they get
must come as the free gilt from
the whites. 1t is, therefore, the
part of wisdom upon the part Of
the colored people of Tennessee
to be careful upon insisting upon
that which can do no practical
good to either race, but is sure to
bring disaster and ruin to the
most useful institution of modern
times-free schools. Let the COL
ored people of Tennessee ask Con-
gress to desist from any legisla-
tion which enforces mixed schools,
and they will have established q
new claim to respect and conf
dence. Let the colored people
have their own schools and church.
e8 and the white people have
theirs. Let the colored people
have a fair divide of the school
fund and they will fiLd their own
teachers and preachers"

A ABrOken-hearted Lovers
Consolation.

The following story of young
man who, until recently, lived in
Lawrence, Massachusetts, is told
by the American, Of that city:
''He was engaged to be married
TO a young lady of Lawrence, and,
in the ardor of this affection, made
a number of presents. Two or
three weeks since the young lady
died, after few days illness. and
the grief of the sadly stricken
sultor was very sad to contem-
plate. Everything that belonged
to her was very near to him. rem
-dered doubly so by her untimelv
taking of. He priced tie few
tributes he had given her to such
a degree that he couldn't think
Tor a moment of leaving them
with her family. He came with
a box before the funeral occurred.
collected them carefully, nailed
them up, and forwarded by express
to his home. The sister of the
deceased expressed a desire that
she might be allowed to retain
some small souvenir, and the dis
consolate lover suggested that per,
haps she would like q muff. EfI
50, he was ready to sell it He
wouldn't be mean; it cost hjn ff-
teen dollars, and seeing It was her,
she might have it tor ten dollars.
She produced the money. took the
mu1f, and the Iover, after the fu,
neral ceremony, DEPARTED, doabt-
less to best6w the presents he had
regained upon some new object of
affection, providing of course, that
they are to revert to him in case
of death.

A Comma Worth So OOO,,
600,

The importance Of correct
punctuation was strongly illus
trated the other day at a meet
ing Of the Ways and Means
Committee, when it was shown
that Il comma in one place was
worth $1,000,000. In the Tariff
Bill, which went into effect Au-
gust 1, 1872, the free list was
extended by the addition of
several hundred articles. A
mong the number added was
fruit plants, tropical and semi
tropical" for the purpose of
propagation and cultivation.
In cngrossing the bill, or in the
process Of copying it for official
printing, d comma was inserted
after "fruit," and all fruit was
thereby placed upon the free
list. The Customs officers,
however, not noticing the
change, continued to collect du-
ties on fruit until the error was
discovered. The Ways and
Means Committee haze now a
greed to report a bill to remove
the comma, in accordance with

They break the kitchen windows
And overturn the chairs,
They cut the doors and tables
Much wicked work is theirs.
Your watch they often handle,
And sometimes let it fall,
Which fact is quite surprising
When told of rodents small.
They hide your books and papers.
Unlock the doors and gates,
They revel in the pantry
And rattle down the plates,
They ill your boots with pebbles,
And, to your great dismay,

Can't keep the kRayes away.

HowLong and How Much

How long do you think it too@
TO write the Bible? Fifteen hun
dred years. From Moses, who
wrote Genesis, to St. John, who
wrote Revelation, it was that long,
long time.
How many people helped to
write it? More than thirty
There were Matthew, Mark, Luke,
John, Paul and Peter. There
were Moses and Ezra, and David
and Daniel, and Samuel. Some
were shepherds, some farmers, some
fishermen, some tent makers, some
kings, so &c judges, some princes;
some were learned some uniearned;
and yet they all agree in what
they write. How could ii at be ?
Because God did all the thinking
in the Bible. The thoughts in
the Bible are all Gods thoughts.
Those 80 men only did the writ
ing. They wrote only what God
told them. How many different
sections or books are there in the
Bible? Sixty-six, all bound to-
gether, making one beautifulwhole.
1t is blessed book. Prize it a.
bove all the books in the wide
world. Make it the man Of your
counsel and the guide of your lite.
Your life can never be a failure if
you follow its instructions.

Remarkable Masonic In
Cident.
From the Colorado Chieftain.


The first Masonic funeral that
ever occurred in California, took
place in the year 1849. and was
performed over the body of a
brother found in the Bay of San
Francisco. An account of the
ceremonies states that on the
body Of the deceased was found
a silver mark Of a Mason, upon
which was engraved the initials
of his name. A little further
investigation revealed to the be-
holder the most singular exhi-
bition Of Masonic emblems that
was ever drawn by the ingenui-
ty Of man upon the human skin.
There is nothing in the history
of traditions of Freemasonry
equal to it. Beautifully dotted
on his left arm, in red and blue
ink, which time could not efface,
appeared all the embIems Of the
entered apprenticeship. There
were the Holy Bible, the square
and compass, the 'twenty-four
inch gauge and common gavel.
There was also the Masonic
pavement, representing IN et
ground floor Of King Solomon's
Eemple, the indented tessel,
which surrounds it, and the
blazing star in the center. On
his right arm, and aItisticalIy
executed in the same indelible
liquid, were the enbIems per-
tanning to the fellow craft de-
greg, viz: the square, the level
and the plumb. There were al
so five orders Of architecture
the tuscan, doric, ionic, corin-
THAN, composite.
In removing the garments
from his body, the trowcl pre-
sented itself, with all the other
tools Of operative masonry
Over his heart was the pot Of in
cense. On the other parts Of /
his body were the beehive, the
"Booll Of Constitutions guar
ded by the Tiers sword; the |
sword pointing to Il naked heart;
the AlI,seeing eye; the anchor
and ark; the hOur-glass; the |
scythe; the second problem OF |
Euclid; the sun, moon, stars
and comet; the three steps en-
blematical Of youth, manhood |
and age. Admirably executed /
was the weeping virgin, reclin-
ing upon q broken column upon !
which lay the Book Of Consti- /
In her left hand she
held the pot Of Incense, the Ma
sonic emblem Of immo.' 'tality Of
the soul.
Immediately 5eneathher stood
Time, with his scythe
by his side, which cuts the
brittle thread Of life, and the
Aour-giass at his feet, which is
ever reminding us that our lives
are whitening away. The with
cred and attenuated fngeres Of
the Destroy CT were placed amid
the long and gracefully flowing
'inglets Of the discunsolate
Thus were the strk-
ing emblems Of mortality beau
titully blended in one pictorial
representation. It was spec

saw before, and, in all proba-
bility such as the fraternity will

Dorcas Acres, of Turner, Me-,
a tailoress by trade, saved enough
money to buy few acres and to
build q small house thereon
Then she married Lazarus Lucas.
Lazarus died, leaving no child and
no will. Then there was lively
resurrection among the relatives
of Lazarus. His brothers claim
ed the house. When the wrath
full Dorcas found that she bad
legal right only to the use of one
third efthe home she had paid
for with her own scanty saw
ings, she burned up the whole
, thing. The revenge was sweet,
but the consequent two years I'M
prisonment was the reverse. Wo-
