Presence of Mind.

4 little BuShman, encOunterlnga lion
OutwittCd the animal in very curious
way. The huge animal met him when
a long way from home. Assured that
he had him completely in his power, he
began to port and daily with him a ic-
line jocosity. The lion would appear at
a point in the road and leap back again
into the jungle, to reappcar again little
further on. But the Bushman did not
lose his presence of mind, and presently
init upon a plan bv which 10 outwit his
Zoe. Aware that the brute was ahead
Of him, lodged to the right. When the
lion discovered that the man had sud-
denly disappeared, he was good deal
perpleXed. He roared with mOrtitiCa-
ton; then he esped the Bushman peep
ing at him over the grass. The Bush
man changed his position at once, while
the lion stood irresolute in the path, fol-
lowing with his eyes the shifting black
man. In another moment the little man
ruStlcd the reeds. vanished, and showed
himself at another point. This was I'M
expected and diSconcerting. The great
brute was ut first confused, and then
alarmed. Ii evidently began 10 dawn
upon him that he had mistaken the posi-
ton of matters, and that he was the
hunted party. The Bushman, who
clearly recognized what was passing in
his encmy's mind, did not pause to let
the lion recover his startled wits. He
began to steal gradually toward the foe,
who, now in a complete state OF doubt
and fear, fairly turned tail and decamp-
ed, leaving the plucky and ingenious
little Bushman master OF the situation
as he deserved To be.

LORD BYRON'S WIFE AND
SISTER.
Letters That Seem to Explode
Mrs. Stoves Scandal.
From the London News, July IS.

From the London News, July IS.
The new number Of the academy con-
tains series of very interesting and
valuable letters from the late Lady By
ron to Mrs. Leigh, her husbands sister.
They form part of the papers OF Mrs.
Leigh which have lately been purchased
for the British Museum, and have been
communicated to the academy by Mr..
+. Maundc Thompson. The letters
were written at various periods, begin
ming on January 10, 1926, the day after
Lady Byron left her husbands house,
and ending in 1851, just before Mrs.
Leigh's fatal illness. There are also two
letters TO Mrs. Leigh's daughter the
last two of which was written in Luly,
1852, after her mothers death. All
these letters testify To the constant es-
teen and affection which Lady Byron
entertained toward her sister-in-law.
The expressions of affection they cOntaln
entirely discOuntenance the idea that
the charges brought against Mrs. Leigh
after Lady Byron death, and said TO
rest on her direct personal testimony,
had any foundation in fact. Writing
only 10 days after she left her husband,
Lady Byron addresses Mrs. Leigh a.
"My dearest Augusta" and concludes
by saying, Feelings must not now be
INDUCED; but whenever | feel at all, 1t
will be as kindly as you could. indie
pendently of malady, do not think OF
the past with any spirit OF resentment,
and scarcely with the sense OF injury.
God bless him" There was later pc
riod a serious dispute between Lady
Byron and her sister-in-law; but 1t arose
on the appointment of trustee under
Lady Byron settlement. Lady Byron
appointed DIR. Washington, to whom
Mrs. Leigh objected. The rupture OF
their intimacy of 20 years clearly arose
out OF this quarrel. In 1851 a meeting
was to have taken place between them
at Reigate in the presence OF the late
Rev. Frederick Robertson. but 1t did
not happen, and some months later,
when Mrs. Leigh was in her last illness,
LadO Byron wrote TO her daughter:
"Whisper to her from me the words,
Dearest Augusta / can't think they
would hurt her." and added a postscript
that she was at Esher till Wednesday,
and if she was wanted they were not to
hesitate to send for her. The whole OF
this interesting correspondence, which
throws new light on the relations OF
Lady Byron To her siStcr-in-law III the
years after the separation from her hus-
band is entirely inconsistent with the
theory Mrs. Stowe has promulgated as
to the causes ol that separation. Every
reader OF the letters will agree with Mr..
Thompson that ii the words have any
meaning ''they dispose OF the whole
calumny aed Danish it into the regions
of after thought"

ALEXANDER HAMILTON.
Personal Appearance Described
by Justice Shea.

He was. as has been described 10 the
writer by some that knew and one that
loved him, a small, 1.-THE figure, instinct
with life; erect and steady in gait,
military presence, without the intolcr-
able accuracy Ola martinez; and ms gen
eral address was graceful and nervous,
indicating the beauty, energy, and ac-
tivitv of his mind. \ bright, ruddy
complexion; light cOlOred hair; mouth
infinite incxpressiOn, its sweet smile be-
inc most observable and most spoken
of: ewes luStrOus with deep meaning and
reflection, or glancing with quick, canny
pleasantly, and the whole cOuntenance
decidedly Scottish in form and express
sion. He was, as may be inferred. the
welcome guest and CHEEKY companion
of all relations of civil and social life.
His political enemies frankly spoke OF
his manner and conversation, and re-
gretted its irresistible charm. He GER
tainlv hal correct sense OF that which
is appropriate 10 the occasion and It's
obiect-the attribute which we call good
taste. His manner, with a natural
change, became very calm and grave
when "deliberation and public care
claimed his whole attention. Vt the
time which We now speak particularly
l7S7l, he was continually broOdlng
over the State Convention then at hand;
moods of cngroSsing thought came upon
him even as he trod The crowded streets,
and then his pace would become slower,
his head be slightly bent downward,
and. with hands joined together behind,
he wendell his way, his lips moving in
concert with the thoughts in his mind.
This habit of thinking, and this attitude,
became involuntary with him as he
crew i'm wears.

ELM GROVE RAILROAD.
OKOLONA MAN OUTDONE.
A Radical Paper Preaching
Pure and indebted Federal
Republicanism.

We have seen no better definition Of
the position and tendencies OF the Re
publican party in their warfares against
the States rights, than is embodied IN
the platform of the Lemars iowa Sen
tiIlei, Stalwart journal. The following
extract will serve our purpose;
"Step TO the front, Stalwart, and
show what it means to be nation.
Change the name-call the nation
America or Columbia.
"rhen abolish the States.
"The moral and political revolution
that preceded the war declared this re
public nation-nOt an aggregation oil
States.
"The war confirmed il.
eli this is a nation there are no States.
"Ifthere are States, then there is no
nation.
The two cannot co-eXlst.
''But this is nation, therefore the
states have ceased to exist.
whatever recognition the former
States receive from the nation is ma
tional menace.
Therefore, States, a. such, must dis
appear from the nation and the National
Legislature.
''The National Senate must either be
abolished or transformed.
"The Senate is indefinitely more dan
gerous To our national existence than
the mere name, United States.
"The Senate is tangible concern,
and even formidable recognition of
states and of State sovereignty.
SO long rs it exists in the present
form it is a threat against national SOW
ereignty.
"The great work OF Capitalization, OF
naturalization, which is the same thing,
imperitively demands the instant sup
preston of the Senate Us representa-
tive Of equal rights.
III we are 10 be Nation We must
dare to be logical-and Stalwarts are
logical.
"With Grant in the White House we
would show the rebel Brigadiers what 1t
is % be a Nation.
After abolishing or so changing the
Senate that il did not represent States,
we should lengthen the PreSldentlalS 10
ten years and let Congress elect the
President.
I'VE would aOrOgate all the SO-calied
constitutions i'm all the So-callcd States,
change the names to provinces or de-
partments, and permit them to conduct
their affairs under charters granted by
the Nation.
"No charter would be granted to any
State that had participated in the rebel
lion during the present generation.
An laws passed by these provinces
or departments would be subject to
veto by the President and his Cabinet.
In other words, this great Republic
would be a Nation, with all that that
implies"

CHEAP FACTORY ICE.
It is Made i'm Georgia At n Cost
of Eighty-five Cents Ton.

Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle.
The Arctic Ice Company are now
turning out between ten and twelve
thousand pounds OF Ice per day, which
they are nnder contract 10 deliver at
hall a cent a pound. The process en-
ployed by the company is said TO be the
cheapest known To science at the pres
Cnt day. The cost of manufacturing Ice
here is only eighty-live cents ton, or
about four cents and quarter hun
bred pounds. As it is sold in bulk at
ten dollars Il ton the margin OF profit Is
nine dollars and fifteen cents on each
two thousand pounds. This is ahead OF
California gold mining. The ice comes
out in huge oblong chunks, thirty-two
inches in length and twelve inches
square. There is space in the freezing
chest $50 to speak for four hundred and
eighty of these blocks, amount III weight
to thirty thousand pounds. As 1t re-
quires seventy-twO hours, however,
from the time the water is poured into
the cans until it is turned out again in
solid form, only one-third of the guam
tity is produced daily. 1t Is the lnten-
ton of the company TO double the ca
pacity of the works in a very short time.
The blocks in the new chest will be only
six inches thick, and as they will freeze
much more rapidly than those OF double
the thickness, the daily production will
be correspondingly great.
The process by which the freezing is
accomplished requires about fifty pounds
of LIQUID ammonia to be stored in a very
strong iron cylinder, and this is con-
nected with a coil OF pipes immersed
in tank ofstrong brine; into this brine
galvanized iron cans holding pure water
are placed, and these cans are OF the
size of the blocks of ice which are form
ed. The liquid ammonia is allowed TO
flow through these coils, and it gradually
becomes gaseous, and in becoming so
abstracts from the water so much heat
that it speedily freezes. a powerful
steam pump forces the gaseous ammo
MIA back into the iron cylinder again,
thus liberating great heat, which is dis
posed Of by cold water dropping upon
the coils of pipe through which the am
monia passes on its way to the conden-
ser. The process is continuous one,
and il the pumps and coils do not leak
there is no loss, and the operations
may 90 on 50 long us the machinery
lasts.

NINE. JUDO.
The Most Beautiful Woman on
the French Stage.
From the london Worth.

From the London World.
Judic is perhaps the most beautiful
woman on the French stage. Her large
dark OrbS, clear olive complexion, and
hair Of luStrOus, though not a shining
black, all gifts of her Spanish ancestry,
make her a perfect type. Her straight
nose and the pure oval of her face
form a fitting compliment to the Cata-
lOgue of charms. She is Il Juno or Il
soubrcttc at will, having every capacity
for varied expression in the resources
of that wonderful countcnanCe. For
the queen of heaven she has only TO
make the most OF the classic line OF
cheek and brow; Tor the waiting-maid
OF earth to turn on the mischief IN the
ewes. Her manner in private life eN-
plains the secret OF her success in pub
lie. Having so much beauty she has
the right to be proud, yet she Is all amia-
bilitv and unaffected good humOr. In
the gayety of her laugh she is as one OF
her own children. Ought the rcvcla-
ton to be made that she has children
old enough to serve for the comparison?
Certainly not, unless one adds tins eX-
tenuating circumStanCe-that she was
but Il child of II when VI. Judlc made
her his wife. She is but big child
still. Ofenbach caught her peculiar
characteristic in saying "williullncss. ~
She laughs not to please you, but to
please herself, and of course never fails
of the double effect The whole secret
of her art is in the fact that she carries
this spirit into the business OF the scene.
Her stage life is simply continuation
of her home life, in regard, at least to
her peculiar gifts of Interpretation.
Other actresses bring the manner OF the
stage to the homes this one takes the
manner OF home to the stage. There
is all the difference in the world be-
tween the two methods. The first Is
the worst art, the last is nature; and 1t
will be found to contain the principle OF
the highest effects in all kinds oi public
appearance whatsoever. The greatest
orator in England is the man who talks
on the platform as he talks at his own
dinner table-John Bright.
