Ten Miles of Green Turtles.

Captain j. b. Rogers, owner Of
the schooner James Anderson, that
left Lufkln's slip on the 2Oth Of June,
for Celcascu, encountered n SOU II
off Sabine on the 21st, in which the
vessel lost her jib and broke the CEN
tre"board. The squall seemed TO cx-
tend in Il circle OF about five miles,
and was very severe. Vessels few
miles away were entirely out Of reach
of the wind that was pitching the
James Anderson about. For one
halChour the schooner was in. yonsid-
able damage, bnt good scamanship
and cool judgment carried her
through safely, and with only the
damage mentioned. On t.te Tues
day following, when between Sabine
and Calcasicu, the vessel again en-
countered bad weather. The sea be.
/ came very lumpy, and blow was
imminent, wien the schooner sudd IN
ly entered field of green turtles,
some Of them being rs large as an
ordinal y-sized round-lable. Strange
to say, they were all On their backs
The schooner as'lying on and of,
and from observations it was es:ma.
that the water covered by these
turtles formed an area of eight miles
in width and ten miles in length.
They were of all sizes, and not one
being seen in a natural position. The
water was literally covered with them.
During the passage among the turtles
Spanish mackarel were .capiDg high
in the cir in every direction, as if de-
tcrmined to escape from the sea Civ
ing evidence that either the water M

ton or sen monsters had come down

Rodgers is anxious To have nautical
men explain these odd phenomena of
of the turtles on their bach S and the
excitement among the mackcrel.
During his nautical career he nevc,
saw any thing similar to it, nor did
he ever before lay eyes on as many
turtles and Spanish mackcrel. The

A Morning Star Of Memory.

The Chicago Times relates sad
but beautiful incident of woman's de-
votion. In the fashionable west di-
vision of the city there lived a young
couple who were engaged to be mar
ried, but ere the ceremony had been
performed the gentleman was taken
down with that most loathsome of
diseases, smallpox, and was conveyed
TO the pest-house. Thither the young
lady followed, and there she nursed
him back to life but not to one Of its
greatest blessings. The case dcvcl-
opcd into the dreadful type known as
"coniluent,' and when the young
lover arose from his couch he realized
the doom Of desolation entailed upon
him-be was stricken blind. And
now, says the Times, while the warm
sun is waking into vcrnal beauty
park and boulevard, and while the
shade trees ore throwing out tneir
outrageous loveliness, q stalwart
man, erect and stately still, although!
destitute of vision and with q face
SCARED by that fell malady, may be

ties Of the summer time, and by his
side young girl, upon whom he
leans for guidance, and who is to him

A. w. Port testified TO the main
facts as related by the other members
Of the party. He was in charge of

cease firing after Jones fell the sec
ond time. Jones fell again and didn't
rise.
Witness said he left Atlanta on the
night before the killing with the revc-
nue. party engaged in it; vert to Red
Oak; searched for stills that night,
and thinks armed men were watching
the. party; about sunrise saw four
armed men watching them; going
along the road they met Ross, and
just after meeting him were fired into
from the bushes they were fired into
again soon afterwards. Witness said
Jones fell three or four times after
crossing the fence. He ordered the
men to cease firing when Jones fell.
The attack on the patty was quite un-
expected.
The party had no warrant for the
arrest OF Ross, and no evidence that
he had been connected with any illicit
stilling.

On Which Sidei

A correspondent writes to the Phil

question which has long puzzled the
beanX-on which side should gen.

general custom for the man to ride
on the Off side of the lady, for the rca

much closer to hers without incon-
venisnce to her, ana @euld avoid the
danger of enLangling his sLirrup or

this is not all. 1t is probable that
the custom Of riding on the lady's
right really arose from the fact that
in England you take the left Of the
road, and the man should always be
next the passers-by. But with us
! the law Of the road is reversed, and
the man should therefore ride upon
the near side, that he may be between
his companion and those whom they
may meet. the practical arrange

Looks Like Winning.

1t is often said that platforms
mean nothing but, in the present in
stance, it happen that The National
platforms represent pretty accurately
the spirit of the two parties. The
Republican platform looks backward,
the Democratic platform looks ahead.
The Republican platform deals in
and appeals to old and mischievous
sectional issues, the Democratic Plat
form, though not perfect, Is yet thor
oughly national and not sectional in
its spirit. The Republican platform
(avors or encourages monopolies the
Democratic platform favors taxpav-
ers-the people.
We have spoken Of the Democratic
platform rs an honest and business
like document, and one proof Of his
that though much shorter than that OF
the Republicans it contains all that is
good and pertinent in all that and q
great deal more besides.
Finally, it must be admitted that
there is little brag also in the Dem
ocratic platform, but it is on a point
where the party has right to boast
of itself. It"has reduced the public
expenditures forty millions 4 year."

have added that it aid this ag gainst

sition of the Republicans in Congress.
