THE communists of the animal world
are the ants, bees, and such creatures.
They live in communities, in which all
work for the general good. The reason
of this is supposed to be that the ma
jority Of the members are non-sexual,
and consequently can nave no stronger
attraction for one individual than an
other. At the same time they have
implanted in them an intense work
ing instinct. It is obvious, then, that
in the absence Of similar neuter or
der among mankind, any attempt to
initiate ant society or communism in
human associations is futile and un-
natural.

The Moneys Worth.

An English merchant prince lately
engaged rising young painter for the
purpose of having his own portrait in
oil conveyed to posterity. The terms
were arranged. How long do you
think it will take?" asked the model.
" Perhaps fifteen days" was the reply.
Sittings began, and the artist entered SO
heartily into his work that in eleven
days the portrait was DONE "Why,"
asked Cresus. when the fact was an
nounced to him, do you intend sup
pressing four days work ?" 1t does
not matter at all; the portrait is finish
ed" answered the painter. "Well, sir,
this is not business; we said hundred
guineas, and fifteen days work. am
quite prepared to stand the price, but
you ought not to spend an hour less
upon the work than was agreed upon"
There was no use arguing with such
man. The painter took his brush again,
and spent four sittings more in length
ening, little by little, in the portrait, the
ears of his patron.

The Louisville Couie,-Jo Journal says ::
Between 1913 and 1876 the product of
gold and silver in Mexico was $702,-
100000. During the same period Amer
lean enterprise produced from the ter
,tory ACQUIRED fro from Mexico by the
mains mineral wealth of enormous
value, which, after all the operations of
the Spaniards, has scarcely been
scratched. Railroads and American
enterprise will stir this region into life.
Thousands of mines have been aban-
doned in Sonora and Chihuahua on ac-
count of the insecurity of the country,
which formerly yielded enormous riches
even with insufficient appliance for
working them.

The old sermon against over-work
was preached in one week by three ira
gedies. Mr.. ]. Kingan, wealthy spec
ulator of this city left home suddenly,
taking with him large sum of money,
and directing his route toward Halifax.
His body was found at railroad station
in New Brunswick; whether he was
murdered or committed suicide is not
perfectly clear. That his flight was the
result of mental alteration is not doubt
ed by his friends. Althoughhe had ex-
perienced some business losses, the es-
tate left behind is reputed ample for his
widow and child Whether murder or
self-murdered the verdict must be the
same: died Of over-excitem ent and over
work. The same week a young girl, a
student at one of the state normal school
broke down as the close of the school
year approached; and, dreading posi-
BILE failure to pass the examination, took
strychnine and was found dead in her
room. A young man, a student at Cor
nell, found eyes and brains both giving
way as the result Of hard study, and
ended his life with pistol shot through
the head. Will our schools never learn
the dangers of this forcing process, and
our working men the value Of the adage,
." Make haste slowly" ?-Church Union.

EDITOR DAILY CouRrER.-As /
know that You are interested In oil
state work, perhaps word IN regard
to the Fl. Madison Penitentiary may
not be smiss. During the frst seven
months Of the administration Of Capt.
E. G. Mcmillan, the present warden,
the following excellent showing is
made:
When the Captain took possession,
on the 8th Of last March, be was al.
lowed for the remainder Of the month
1T the rate Of eight and one-third
dollars per man for support. Since
the first Of April he was only allowed
seven dollars per month, and yet q
the end OF seven months, less eight
days, the following Is the result:
Amount expended for general sup
port, $17, ,647.72; amount allowed for
general support, SIS, ,520.63; amount
earned by the prison from March 8,
to Sept. 30, was S2l, $500, an excess
Of saving over expenditures, of "a,
O38.28. And this is more admirable
laundering, when we take into con.
alteration that when the Captain took
possession, that scarcely any provis-
ions were ON hand; now there IL
over 150 barrels Of pork besides 60C
bushels OF potatoes and large
amount of coal, wood, -four, beef, ap.
pies &c. The Captain % . f1nancier
and disciplinarian, stands In the very
foremost ranks Of our oldest and best
wardens. ! doubt not, when the
fewness of the number of convicta
under his charge are taken into con.
sideration (for the greater the mum.
Der of convicts the larger the gain
he outstrips them.
The school connected with the pris.
on numbers las scholars. They are
making very commendnble progress.
A cordial invitation to Eye editor
to visit us, and IL you should do 90, q
most hearty welcome awaits you
from MADISON.

Saturday evening, John Alexander,

Saturday evening, John Alexander,
living ~ miles north of town, was
called upon by Mrs. Sherwood to
protect her from the assaults of her
drunken and infuriated husband.
Mr.. Alexander started across the
road to pacify Sherwood, and as soon
as he got over the fence Sherwood set
q large and fierce dog upon him, and
as Alexander had nothing to defend
himself with the dog grabbed him by
the calf of the leg, tearing and lscer-
ating 1t In . fearful manner. Mrs.
Sherwood rushed in and by main
strength choked the dog off. Mr..
Alexander succeeded in securing .
spade, and was so infuriated at the
attack and brutality Of Sherwood
and his dog that he would have put
both Of them out of their misery in

his house had not arrived at the
scene in time to prevent further hos

PUBLICATION OF SHERIFF's SALES
The Western Jxrist for October con-
tains 8 report Of decision by the
Supreme Court Of this State, on an
appeal from Cherokee county, to the
effect that section 306 Of the code,
which gives the Sheriff authority to
designate the newspapers in which
notices pertaining to his Office shall
be published, does not give him au-
thority TO designate the paper in
which execution sales shall bo pub
lished. The plaintiff has this right
under section 1882. The practice has
been for the Sheriff to send arbitrari.
ly all his sale notices to his party
organ, but this decision gives the
party interested in the sale the right
to have the publication in any paper
he may desire, notwithstanding the
preference ofthe Sheriff.
