Hon. Jere HARRISON, who represents

voted for universal amnesty, was a
slave in 1868, when he was euiancipa-
ted with the rest. lie was a slave of
Mr.. John 7. Walker, Of Columbus,
an9 on the death Of the latter was
sod on the block, in that city, to Mr.
J. w. Thompson. After his death
he was purchased by John HARRISON,
Esq, of Selmea, Ala, TO whom he be-
longed al the time of emancipation.
lie was raised in Muscogce county as
common field hand. He was born
here in 1915. Upon inquiry we fiud
a number who knew nun when he
was slave lie deserves credit for
the information he has acquired, but
he has made what lie Is, Eot by n
superior motive power above any
white man but the prciulices of ignor-
ant negroes controlled by United
States bayonets. lie lives in 4 strong
negro district, inhabited by the most
unlettered Of the class. In 1870 he
was elected to the House of Represea
tatlves Of Alabama, and in 1872 TO
the Stale Senate, and in 1873 to Con
gress from the Mobile Distiiet. He
Is superior TO his own race, but inferi
or, far, TO the white men he defested.
and his seat Is now contested. His
success is attributable altogether to
race prejudice.

A NOVEL LIGHr.-A light has been
invented of a curious sort, which is
very convenient for occasional use. y
three or four ounce bottle is taken OF
clear glass; into this put 4 piece Of
phosphorus about the size Of a pea.
The bottle is then filed one third full
of boiled sweet oil, and tightly cork
ed. Whenever a light Is needed, the
cork i> drawn for moment, and fresh
air let in, and then replaced tightly.
The phosphorus, coming in contact
with the fresh air, becomes luminous,
and gives out about as much light rs
n common lamp. If i, grows dim,
the cork must be drawn again ana It.
placed. In cold weather the oil be
comes chilled, and the bottle may
need to be held in 4 warm hand, or
put for moment or two in warm
place before the cork Is removed. 1t
is said that one Of these bottles will
do service for six months.

The wife did not notice that the team
stood on Mr.. Dorman's hay-scaleS.
While he was talking with gentle

being weighed. He then drove over

The Cure for GOSSIP.

What is the cure for gossip? Sim.
ply culture. There is a great deal of
gossip that has no malignity in it.
GOod-natured people talk about their
neighbors because, and only because
they have nothing else TO talk about.
As We write there comes to US the
picture Of a family of young ladies.
We have seen them at home, We have
met them in galleries of art, we have
caught gIirnPses Of them going from
bookstore or q library with fresh
volume in their hands. When we
meet Them they are fall Of what they
have seen and read. They are brim-
ming with questions. One topic of
conversation is dropped only TO give
place TO another, in which they are
interested. We have left them, after
delightful hour, stimulated anu re-
freshed; and during the whole hour
not 4 neighbors garment was solled
by so much as a touch. They had
something to talk about. They knew
something, and wanted to know
more. They could listen as well as
they could talk. To speak freely Of
neighbor's doings and belongings
would have seemed as inIpertiuence
to them, and, OF course, an lmprO-
priety. They had no temptation 10
gossip, and because the dongs Of their
neighbors formed a subject very
much less interesting than those which
grew out of their knowledge and their
culture
And this tells the whole story. The
confirmed gossip is always either mali
cious or ignorant. The one variety
needs change of heart and the other
a change Of pasture. Gossip is al
ways a personal confession either OF
malice or imbecility, and the young
should not only shun it, but by the
most ITO ough culture relieve themSei.
YES from all temptation 10 indulge in
it. 1t is low, frivilOnS, and too Of
ten a dirty pastime. There are coun-
try neighbOrhoods where it RACES
like 4 pest Churches are split in
pieces by it. Neighbors are made
enemies by it for life. In many per-
sons it degenerates into a chronic dis
ease which is practically incurab.e.
Let the young cure it while they may.
