The MILLING INTERESTS Perhaps
the milling class has suffered rs little as
any other from the results of the panic.
Producing, as millers do, an article
which is indispensable and always in
demand, there is always an ample mar
ket for the products of the mill and
circumstances which make grain high
or low affect the producer or consumer
rather than the miller, who occupies an
intermediate position between the two.
Still, millers nave, to some extent,
shared in the general distress, and will
feel the beneficial effects OF revival OF
business. The rumors of European
complications which have been current
for the past several months have had
their influence on the breadstuffs mar
ket, which is always the most sensibly
affected by war, and, should hostilities
actually commence, our grain and flour
trade will reach enormous proportions.

LEATHER FROM THE ALLIaAToR.-Be-
tween 1900 and 10000 alligator skins
are tanned yearly, which are consumed
by boot and shoe manufacturers in
every portion of the United States, as
well as exported to London and Ham,
burg. The alligators formerly came al
most entirely from Louisiana, and New
Orleans was the great center of the bust
ness. The Florida swamps and mo-
rasses are now the harvest fields, and
Jacksonville, that State, the great de-
pot. The alligators often attain length
of eighteen to twenty feet, and fire.
ouently live to an old age. The hides
are stripped off, and the belly and sides,
the only portion fit for use, are packed
in barrels in strong brine, and shipped
to the Northern tanner, who keeps them
under treatment from six to eight
months, when they are ready to be cut
up. So far the leather has been mainly
used in the manufacture OF boots and
shoes, but handsome slippers are also
made of it.

THE LITTLE FULKS.


One Lie Brings Another.
There's just one thing want to say,
MY sisters and my brothers,
And that IL, II you tell one lie,
You are sure to tell some others.
know ~ times it's very hard
To own a naughty action,
ont truth, once uttered, fills the heart
With joyous satisfaction,
While, II you stoop to tell lie,
To cover up wrong doing,
Your heart Is filled with guilty dread
With hopeless woe and ruling.
dou dare not bravely meet the eye
or father or of mother,
And to cover up the lie you've told,
You're sure to tell another.
"A child's first lie, like mans first glass
OF rum, or ale, or whisky,
Makes way for more to follow fast;
And is dangerous and risky.
without the first glass you are safe
From the drunkard's thirst OF fire;
And If the first lies never told,
You'll never be liar!

characteristics of the Average Boy

Cnaracteristfcs OF the Average boy.
If there are any loose straws, chips,
sucks, old barrels or boxes anywhere
within his reach, and he can get match,
he will make what he calls "bonfire, Z"
and stand around il and hold his hands
before it until he gets smoked all over.
If there is q pond or puddle of dirty
water anywhere about he will take off
his shoes and stockings, roll up his clean
white pants, and either wade in or get a
dirty board or plank and push himself
about until face, hands and clothes are
one uniform dirt color from top to toe.
He will go over any fence or wall, or
through any tangled thicket of briars,
thorns or brushwood, regardless Of the
strength of his trousers, even when it
would be quite as handy to go around
by the proper path.
He will plunge into any muddy ditch
or swamp after mud turtle or n,innow,
and then, after carrying it about for
awhile, throw his prize away.
He will climb any ladder. pole, scat
fold, or tree, with no understandable
reason except to get where he knows he
ought not to be, and with the sure re-
snlt of getting into danger.
When his kite lodges in tree or on
telegraph wire, he will try to get it
down by throwing stones and sticks at
it until the kite is broken all to pieces,
and will spend as much time and energy
in this vain pursuit as would serve to
make dozen other kites.
He will trudge through the snow and
slush in preference to walking on per
fectly clear path or pavement.
He will spend hours in throwing clubs
and stones to knock "candles from
the catalapa tree, to knock "beans y
from the locust tree, to knock
switches from the alianthus tree,
and TO knock button-balls from the
button-wood tree I; and then when he
has got them and got his clothes in dis
order he will gather up his candles, y
switches" or button-balls," and i'm

The Accused Admitted 10 Bail I'm

Memphis Appeal J

Memphis Appeal
This case, which has created so much
excitement in Austin, Mississippi was
determined ON the 28th ultimo by the
admission to bail of Captain NJ. j.
Manning and the other parties accused
of the murder of James B. Harvey. The
whole case was thoroughly investigated
before j. G. Gallagher, Esq, on the
committing trial of NJ. j. Manning, and
it was shown that the deceased was an
old lover of Mrs. Manning's; that they
weree ngaged before her first marrige, and
that she did not marry him because they
were both poor. She went to the Gen
tennial, and while on her trip sought out
Harvey at Chicago, and brought him to
Memphis They went together from
Memphis to Austin on the steamer Whlte,
where unmistakable evidence ofintimacy
was established. They arranged that ne
should write her letter, claiming to be
her step, brother, addressed to her by her
first husbands name, and inqulrlng after
her as if they had met since the war.
This letter was sent under cover to the
postmaster at Austin, with the request
that it be delivered to Mrs. Dunaway it
living there still. 1t was delivered by
the postmaster to an old negro, Wash
Christian, who at once delivered 1t to
Mrs. Manning. Captain Manning was
not then at home, and she gave the letter
back to Wash, with instructions to bring
it to her again when the Captain returned
and deliver it to her in his presence.
This was done, and the Captain thus be-
guiled into permitting Harvey to be IN
vited to his house. The declaration of
Mrs. Manning that she loved Harvey's
little finger better than Manning's whole
body, and declarations going to show
that there was preconcerted plot to kill
Manning was testified to by Miss Rea-
gan, the niece of Mrs. Manning, who
had accompanied her on the Centennial
trip, and who divulged everything to
Captain Manning on the night that
Harvey was expected down on the boat.
Manning met Harvey and killed him as
soon as he was pointed out to him. 1t
also appeared in the evidence that Man
ming started to arouse the Mayor OF the
town and surrender himself, but was
prevented from doing so by DR.. Chap
man, whose wife is the niece of Mrs.
Manning, and who begged that he would
not bring out the disgrace of the family
until he was compelled to do so. Man
ming was told, both by DIR. Chapman
and l. NJ Reagan, that Harvey was a
dangerous man, who would kill him.
The Justice granted bail to Captain
Manning in the sum of ten thousand
dollars, and Judge Powell sustained the
judgment of the justice and granted bail
on habeaS corpus to Chapman and others,
who had been committed to Jail without
bail as accessories before and after the
facts. The defendants were represented
by General Chalmers, who was assisted
by Hon. S. B. Morgan, of DeSoto.
