| THB TRUTHFUL PHoT.-The passenger,
| who was going down the big river for
I the first time in his life, secured permis
/ sion to climb up beside the pilot, grim
old graybaek who never told a lie in his
! life.
MANY allygatOrs in this river?" in
! quired the stranger, after 4 look around.
"NOt so many now, since they got TO
| shOOtin' 'em for their hides and taller,
was the reply.
USED to be lots, eh?"
az don't want to tell you about 'em,
stranger, /" replied the pilot, signing hsav-
"whyq"
"Cause you'd think 1 was a lyiR' to
you, and that's sumthin' l never do. /
kin cheat at keerds. drink whisky or
chaw poor tSrbacker, but can't lie"
''Then there used to be lots of 'emY" in
quired the passenger.
"I'm most afraid to tell ye, Mister, but
I've cOuRted 1eVeR hundred allygators
TO the nile from Vicksburg cl'a ar down to
Orleans! That was years ago, afJre a
shot was ever fired at EN-"
"Wsll, don't doubt it, replied the
stranger.
"And I've counted 3,459 Of 'em on one
sandbar!' continued the pilot. cit looks
big to tell, but q government surveyor
WAS aboard, and he checked 'em or as l
called OUT
81 haven't the least doubt Of it" said
the passenger, as he heaved a sigh.
''I'm glad o. that, stranger. Some fell
lers would think l was q liar, when I'm
telling the olemn truth. This used 10 be
a paradise for allygators, and they were
so thick that the wheels of the boat kill
ed on an average forty-nine to the mile -
''Is that so p"
True as Gospel, mister; I used to al
most feel sorry fer the cussed brutes,
cause they'd cried out e'enamost like "a
human being. We killed lots OF 'em, as
l said, and we hurt pile more. ! sailed
with one captain who allus carried a
thousand bottles of liniment to throw
over to the wounded Ones!'
"He did?"
True as you live, he did. 1 don't
'spect I'll ever see another such a kind,
Christian man. And the allygators got
TO know the Nancy Jane, and 10 know
Captain Tom, and they'd swim out and
rub their tails agin the boat an purr like
cats an look up and try to smile!"
"They w0uld?"
"SOlemR truth, stranger. AID once
when we grounded on the bar, with aH
tors gathered around, got under her Stern
and bumped her clean over the bar by
grand push. 1t looks like big story,
but never told lie yet, and 1 never
you could put aboard this boat"
There was painful pause, and after a
while the pilot continued:
"Our enjines gin ont once, and \ crowd
of allygatOTs took a tOw-line and hauled
us forty-hVe miles up stream to Nicks-
burg"
"They did?"
"And when the news got along the riv-
er that Captain Tom was dead, every al
lygatOr In the river daubed his left ear
with black mud as badge of mournin',
and lots Of 'em pined away and died"
The passenger left the pilOthOuse with
the remark that he didn'J doubt the state
ment, but the old man gave the wheel a
turn and replied:
''Thar's one thing l won't do for love
nor money, and that is TO make a liar of
myself. l was brung up by good moth
sr, and I'm going TO stick 10 the truth if
this boat doesn't make q cent.-Nicks-

/ sand paper, against which the heads OF
several matches (of the pArlOr or explO-
sive kind) were placed. On Withdrawing
the lid, the friction of the sand paper
! would ignite the matches and then ignite
the powder of heavy cartridge In the
box. The effect would be to blind or Sc
Yerely iniure the opener; but in the case
above mentioned, nefariOus designs were
suspected, and thorough soaking in water
allowed Of the box being safely examined.
We had prepared drawings of some of
the ingenious machines which, as above
described, have been applied to such dia-
boIcal uses, and contemplated publishing
engravings of the same in connection
with the foregoing article; but on second
thought, it seemed to us wiser not 20 do
so. Crimes, say those who have made
the evils of mankind a study, are epidem-
ic; and there are minds so delicately pOis-
ed that bat mere touch is necessary to
turn them in the direction OF evil. Mr..
Jas. L. Fields has recently had = lengthy
conversation with that incarnAta Internal
machine, the Boston boy murderer Pome-
roy who SO mercilessly mutilated his lit

for blood, in some measure, to the perus-
al Of the sanguinary yellow covered lit
erature of the dime novel type. Doubt
less the murderOus adventures would be
as much shocked rs any other good mem
bers of the community would be, could
the effect OF their work on badly balanced
and illiterate minds be demonstrated to
them beyond doubt. So therefore we,
desiring above all else 70 avoid even the
remOtest probability of working evil,
think best to deny our pages to the SEM
blance of the means whereby crimes so
horrible and atrOciOus have been COM
mitted, for the harm caused might
vastly exceed the advantage of such
knowledge as the pictures might impart.

TENNESSEE WAR CLAIMs.-Twenty-
nine war claim bills have been introduced
since the holiday recess, mostly in the
House of Representatives. In nine Of
these bills the amount is not stated. The
twenty others amount in the aggregate to
S22O, CSC, 80, an average Of about $lI 600
per claim. The heaviest claim is that Of
the heirs OF Thomas Hord of Tennessee,
for SIS, ,995 for supplies taken from Hord's
farm on the battlefield Of Stone River
bv the United States army. Another
large claim is that of Andrew ). Duncan
Of Nashville Tenn, for $39, ,225 for prop
ertv taken and used by the United States
military forces during the late civil
war" A bill introduced by Mr.. Atkins
of Tennessee refunds TO II. johnson
and forty-cight other citizens assess
mentS TO the aggregate amount OF about
$4,000, levied and collected under an
order Issued by Colonel J. W. Harney,
commanding the post of Bethel, AeNalry
county, Tenn. One of the senate bills is
to pay the claim of DR.. Best of Paducah,
XIV. amounting TO $25, 900. Congress
has once passed the bill, bnt it was We
toed bv President Grant. A bill not in
cluded in the foregoing list which com
prises only southern claims, appropriate
about $1,000 to pay certain persons IN
Guernsey county, Ohio, for damages in
fiicted by Morgan during his famous
raid IN 1909.
One of the bills before the House COM
mittee on postOfices, introduced by Mr..
Dibreu of Tennessee, concerns a singu-
lar case The Mchinnville and Man
chester Railroad in Tenn. purchased from
the Ouartermaster General Of war about
SAC, 900 worth OF rolling stock, and the
government took as security lien on
the earnings of the road. The company
soon afterWard failed, and the road was
sold to pay its Indebtedness to the State
OF Tennessee under a decree in chancery.
1t was purchased by the Memphis and
Charleston Railroad Company, and leased
to l.. d. Hickman & Co. for term Of
five years. The lessees are the mail con-
tractors for route served by the hcMin-
VILE and Manchester road. BY an order
issued by the Quartsrmaster General, all
earnings OF the mail service on this road
to be applied as a credit on the account
against the old railroad company, and,
in order to save their compensation,
Hickman s. Co. transport their mail in
coaches the whole length of the road,
causing a delay Of the mails for several
counties. Mr.. Dibrcll's bill practically
extinguishes the government lein so as 70
restore the mail to the railroad.

THE FIsHERmAN,s FUNERAL.

Upon the breezy hcadlsad the nshermans grave they
made
Where over the daisies and clover beHs the bircheu
branches swayed;
Above the lark singing in the eloudloss skies
Of June,
And under the cliffs the blows were chanting their
cesseless tune;
For the cream line ourvins along the hollow shore,
Where the dear old tides flowing that he would
ride no
The d'rEs Of the wave, the ef the bird and the
priests low tone were bIent,
In the breeze that blew from the moorand all laden
with country scent;
but never a thought Of the new-mown hay tossing
sunny plains,
Or Of lilies deep in the Wild wood or roses gemming
the lanes,
woke In the hearts the stern bronzsd men hs gath
ertng around the grave,
Where lay the Who had fought with them the
tie Of wind and wave.

How his keen eyes caught aha squaH ahead, how his
strong hand fured the sail
As drove over the angry waters before the raging
galsI
How CHEEKY he kept all the long, dark night and
er person spoke
Coed words like those he said rs when at ho
morning broke!
So thouRht The dead man comrades a. nlsnt and sad
they stood,
while the prayer prayed, the blessing said, and
the duh earth struck the wood;
And the widows sob, and the orphans wall, jarrod
through the Joyous air,
Hsw could the light wind oer the blow fresh
and fart
Hsw could the gay laugh and Ieap andward Ger

While he who knew and loved them nll lay Tapped IN

But for long when to the beetug heights the snsw-
tipped billOWs roll
when the cod and skate ana dOgfsh dart around the
herring shoaI;
When gear is sorted and sails arc set, sud the merry
brsezes blow,
And away to the deep harvest the stawsrt reap

kindly sight and hearty word they will give him
who lies
where the clover springs and tbs heather blooms be

Danvillc (Ky.) Advocate: During a
recent and sudden rise in the water cour-
ses in the ''west 0nd' Of this county, 4
veritable accident occurred that is worth
relating as an exhibition Of pluck: Chap
lin river runs through Perryrille dividing
it. Ii was ut fiOod-height. A fOot-bridge
crosses it, Two small boys by the nams
Of Caysey, brothers, were on the bridge.
One of them, while playing in the water
lost his balance and fell in on the upper
side, and was instantly swept under the
bridge. His little brother, with great
nerve and judgment, took position 2Rd
seized him by the hair Of the head as lie
emerged on the other side, and thus
pulled him out and saved him froHl
drowning. The little fellow, spirting
the muddy water out of his mouth, and
with difficulty catching his breath, with
his tears minglinR with the water that
ran down his face, thus expressed his
gratitude: "Gol dug YOU, what did
you pull me by the har fOr?''

BROGGS' EXPERINENT.-BrOgg who
lives in ElliOts Southern Addition, ran
across the item the other day that Eat
night horse would refuse to step on or
over the body of a man found lying in
the road, but, as if impelled by instinct,
would stop and remain mOtiOnless
until the matter should be inYestiga-
ted
Grave doubts as TO the truth of this
statement arose in BrOggs' mind, and to
settle the matter for himself, he resolved
to give the thing a practical test. Now
BrOggs has no horse, hut does own a
very Intelligent and frisky young mule,
so he thought it just as well to try the
experiment with him. There is q lar
row lane leading from the clover patch
to the water trough, and he sent his little
son boy Bobby to open the gate and turn
out the mule; meanwhile BrOggs lay
down full length across the lane, assum-
ing an apparently lifeless attitude. The
mule had been kept in the pasture all
day, and consequently was very dry, so
he came waltZing down the lane Rt a
great rate, and everything denoted fair
trial of the test. And so it was, but not
exactly As Broggs would have desired,
although it confirmed him in his skepti-
cism. When within yard or two the
mule perceived the PROSTATE form of his
master, and, with an explosion of sound
which was a eOmpromise between the
shrek of a locomotive and the yell Of a
frightened maniac, he bowed up his
back, flung his tail to the breeze, eleva-
ted himself about fifteen feet in the air,
and with ali four feet in bunch lit on
the pit Of BrOggs' "hread-basket.' -
Then, with fiendish laugh, he suddenly
spread out his feet with scraping, lac
Grating sound, and was of like a flash,
not emitting, however, TO give the ex-
perimenter parting kick in she small OF
his back as he departed. The price OF
the mule did not near pay the doctors
bill, and Broggs is now calculating how
many post holes he viii have to mortice
in the ground before he will get even on
his experiment.

A BROOKLYN MANS TERRIBLE DEATH
AFTER BEISG BITTEN On THE NSsR BY A
CAT.-Hugh Murray OF Baltic street, near
Albany avenue, Brooklyn, tried TO drive
a cat on from a beam, three months ago,
and the animal jumping on his shoulder
bit him on the nose. The wound was
slight and Murray thought nothing OF It.
On Thursday last he felt an acute pain in
his nose, and that night he was taken
with headache and languor. He resumed
work, however, on Friday, but on Satur
day he had difficulty in breathing and in
swallowing. In the afternoon he was
compelled TO 90 to bed, and he began to
have spasms. DR.. Sullivan of TOpkins
avenue asked him to drink some water.
In trying TO do so Murray's throat con-
tracted violently, as did in a measure all
the muscles of the body. Yet he had no
positive dread of water. As soon as the
spasms were Offhs felt as well as ever, save
that he had some soreness in his head.
On Sunday morning Murray was much
worse, and DR.. Sullivan summoned DIR.
Pitcher. Sedatives were given, but
without effect, and in the afternoon
Murray began to struggle violently, his
agony being terrible. He frOthed at the
mouth, and whenever he tried to swallow
it chOkcd him and threw him into spasms.
He was not afraid of any fluid, but he
could not swallow it. In his delirium
he asked whether they were going to cut
his nose off. He died at midnight of eX-
haustiOn.

The vengeance of the patriots was so

people with their name.
