A Cincinnatian's Experience at Holly
Springs, Miss. ,s-..s ii3

= ID" "a-
Mr.. George D. Terry formerly Of this
city, sends to kinsman here an inter
esting picture of Holly Springs, as it ap-
peared after the rayages Of the plague
He says: SO ''''' ~ g 't'-'" -
= p" Holly Springs is city of the dead
empty houses that have such a7deserted
appearance that you imagine thousand
horrors: the gardens four feet high in
weeds; broken fences, no gates, and the
hogs and COWS destroying the flowers and
shrubs; nota soul to be seen in the streets.
Here and there amid the desolation, you
see pale, sickly stream of smoke issuing
from the doors, windows, and chimneys
Of an apparently deserted house. But
no sound is heard. All the associations
connected with the, living seem buried.
1t is so horribly quiet that you find
yourself shuddering, and you wonder if
you are quite we'll. Presently you see
negro convalescent, who recognizes you,
and who, in doing SO, presents a. grin
rendered more hideous by his cadaverous
look and by the color of his skin. He
encourages you by saying thateverybody
who comes back to town gets the fever /;
that this man and that man are down
with it and are sure to die, or that they
are already dead. If you meet a white
person, you feel afraid to ask after his
friends, and if you do, you hear the
stereotyped answer, "Dead and buried p
followed by an outburst of tears. Then
you are compelled to listen to all the
incidents connected with their death and
burial; how the husband looked at his
wife, before he lay down forever him
self; and how he lay helpless while they
carried her to the grave; how another
lay shut up with his wife in fodder
house, with no one to wait on them, and
how the husband, after crawling on his
hands and knees to perform his last
earthly duties for his loved wife, crawled
back to his own bed, made of three OF
four bundles of fodder, to die, if God
wills it so, or else to struggle through
fifteen days of sickness, and to come forth
wreck of humanity, only to be cursed
by the wretches outside, who charge
him with endangering the lives of the
community by coming there to die
This is no fanciful sketch, bur the truth
except that / have not told all. 1t is toe

A Story of the House of Romanoff.

The house of Romanoff. which has
filled SO large place in European his
tory, narrowly escaped extinction in the
very year of its rise, owing its safety
entirely to one of the very peasants
whom'it has so often prosecuted. After
the expulsion from Moscow, in 1872, of
the Polish usurper Vladislay, it became
necessary to elect new Car, the line
of Ruric having ended with Feodor
Ivanovitch, the son of Ivan, the Terrible
The choice fell upon Russian noble
named Michael Feodorovitch Romanoff,
who was then at Yaroslavl, in North
Russia, with a few attendants. The
Polish King hearing of this, sent band
of men to surprise him. On their way
thither they halted at the cottage of a
peasant named Ivan Susanin, giving
themselves out as foreign soldiers on
their way to take service with the new
Gar. But as one of them dismounted,
he happened to stumble, and in his rage
uttered Polish oath, which Susanin's
quick ear overheard. The peasant in
| stantly OWNED their purpose, but could
find no better way Of battling it than to
offer himself as their guide, while he Sc
cretly dispatched one of his sons to
warn the Gear of the meditated treach-
cry. Then guiding the traitors into a
gloomy defle, of which he alone knew
the outlet, he boldly avoved what he
had done, and fell beneath their swords,
defying them to the last. This heroic
self-sacrifce was not made in vain The
timely warning enabled the Gar to
overtake and. destroy his intended as
sassins, and Susanin's devotion was re.
warded with the permanent exemption
of his family from taxation and the
erection of statue to his memory. This
statue is still to be seen in his native
town of Kostroma, which, by singular
coincidence, was also the birthplace OF
the peasant Oisip Komisarof, who saved
the present Gar from assassination in
April, 1866. The story of Susanin ha:
furnished material for one of the most
popular of Russian operas, 'Life for the

A SOCIETY has been formed in st.
Louis to devise ways and means to get
the bass viol out of the way in the or
chestra, SO people can see what is going
on, on the stage. 1t seems that it has
never occurred to any orchestra leader
that the bass viol can be sawed to Just
as good advantage when it is lying on
its side. Lay it down on saw-buck,
and saw it, and it is just as mournful,
and sweet, as it is when it stands up
eight or nine feet high between you and
the ballet girl. Hundreds of men have
dislocated their necks trying to look
around bass viol when girl w,rs kick

Is there any conceivable reason why
the orchestra should spoil every pathetic
passage in a play by wailing ac-
compartment? Why a noble emotion,
nobly expressed, heroic act or an
agonizing death should be made ridic-
uIous by a squeaking band, remains up
to the present momentincomprehensible.

A MAN in New York put his finger in
front of a swiftly revolving buzz saw to
feel the momentum of the air. The ex-
pertinent failed owing to the saw antici-
pating the air by the length of one fore
finger. While he stood contemplating
the site once occupied by the finger,
the foreman of the mill came up and ex-
citedly asked him, GLOW did you do it?"
"Why, l put my finger down just so"
he said, placing the other fore-fnger
down in Illustration, when it, too, was
snapped off. The astonishment that
filed his breast at this jancture was
almost sublime.-DGnbuay NeOs.

These rules are suggested by a s

These rules are suggested by a sports
man: First. Never load a gun in a
house, as if you leave it for a minute,
some ignorant servant maid may handle
it to the detriment of herself, or of any
one who falls in her way. Secondly
Never let the hammer down upon the
copper caps, for a sudden movement will
make the weapon go of. Thirdly.
Never walk with a gun cooked, and
never giveit to any one to hold, or during
luncheon rest it against tree, with
barrels cooked. Last, not least. Never
carry the gun pointed in direction
that, if it went off, it would cause az
accident to biped or quadruped.

GRAVE robbing seems to travel West
ward along with empire, civilization
and emigrants. Great Britain. and the
Atlantic seaboard States long ago passed
through days (or nightsl Of grave rob-
bing, which led to riots. Such times
have passed away in the East. Now,
however, scarcely a week goes by that
news does not come from the West of
some fresh outrage of that kind. In
Mondays Ledger there were three items
of news about grave robbing, two tell.
ing of the discovery of bodies dragged
from their graves, and one of the con-
viction of thief arrested in Cleveland,
Ohio, for similar offense. In England
and in some of the Eastern States the
best way of putting an end to the rob-
berry of graves has been found to be the
passage of laws providing a legal way
in which colleges and physicians can be
supplied with subjects for anatomical
and surgical lectures, the same laws,
Furnishing severely those who obtain
bodies illegally or by robbing graves
