Pointed Shoes.

A greatbeau of the time of VIM. Rufus,
called Robert the Horned. wore shoes
with long points, stuffed with tow, and
twisted III a special form. This fashion
took the fancy of the people of that
day immensely. and the points increased
yearly until the reign of Richard H..
when they had to he tied on the knees of
the wearer, that he might not be encum-
bered i'll walking. This tying was. in the
case of a gentleman, by chains of silver
or silver-gilt. In Chaucer's time the upper
part of these shoes was cut to initiate a
church window. The rank of the wearer
III those days was known by the length of
his poulaines. 1.-The men, says Para
din, "wore them with point before half
foot long; the richer and more eminent
personages wore them foot, and Princes
two feet long" BY an act of the reign
of Edward ~, the absurd length to
which the points attained, was limited;
and no one under the rank of Lord was
to wear shoes more than ten inches long,
and all cobblers making them were to be
fined and cursed by the clergy.

An Alligator Story.

A young man named Nixon was
caught by an alligator few days since
while bathing in the Suwannee River near
Benton. The alligator carried the young
man under the water, but reappeared in
two or three minutes with Nixon in his
jaws. Nixon cried to his companions
to shoot, but before gun could be dis
charged he sank again, taking Nixon
under with him. About two minutes
after he arose again and struck for the
opposite shore, still having the Inflated
young man i'll his enormous mouth.
Again Nixon called upon his compan-
ions to shoot, but being afraid of hitting
Nixon, no one discharged his gun. The
alligator crept some half dozen feet
upon the opposite bank, remaining about
three minutes, when, guided by a sudden
impulse, he plunged with his precious
burden into the river again. and reaching
the middle sank to rise no more within
the view of the party. A thorough
search was made, but nought could he
seen of the body or parts of the body of
the unfortunate young man. The pre-
sumption is that the alligator made for
his lair, which was probably near at
hand.-Lake City (Fy0.) Reporter.

He Was Not n Policeman.

The other night two rough-looking GUS
toners got into quarrel about half-past
twelve o'clock on the corner of a Calves
ton street. They were both bad men
who, ordinarily, did not know what fear
was. but they knew each others prowess,
and hence each was unwilling to bring on
the conflict. They were the two hardest
cases on Galveston island. They walked
around each like two lions, gritting their
teeth, with their fists doubled up, and
muttering curses. A man in dark clothes
was standing near the lamp-post, quietly
watching the progress of events.
"If it wasn't for that policeman there
I'd have your hearts blood, said one
edging up closer to his antagonist and
glitting his teeth.
"Your lips would be closed in death
now if 1t was not for that same police
man said the pther glarin9 like tiger
Gentlemen, ] am no policeman, [ am
just looking on, said the spectator.
The two gladiators drew closer to the
man to satisfy themselves that they could
rend each other unmolested. The man
smiled and said; Sail in gentlemen,
L won't hurt you"
Having SntlSned themselves That the
spectator was harmless, timid man, one
of the gladiators reached out from the
shoulder and sent the amazed third party
reeling into to the street
I" Hit him agin, jimmy" yelled the
second rufiian, planting well directed
kick that lifted the flying man off the
ground.
The spectator ran off like turkey, and
finally made his escape, although closely
pursued by the two deadly enemies.
When explaining to his friends how he
came by the black eye, the victim tells
very different story, and deprecating
the inefficiency of the Galveston police.
Gays he shall regret to the last day of his
life that he did not have the legal author
ity to arrest the ruiiians, and take them
both to jail. -GatUcston Nc,Os.

How a Water Moccasin FISHES.

A correspondent, writing from Plano,
Texas, describes as follows the manner
in which moccasin used his body as a
sort of sieve in catching small fish. His
snakeship was in shallow pool abound
ing in minnows, and was briskly twist
ing and turning in all directions, giving
his body as many convolutions as possi-
BILE to inclose the fish or force them into
narrow spaces between him and the
bank. In either case the fish would en-
deavor to escape by leaping over the
snakes body into the water beyond
Meantime the moccasin, with elevated
head, caught the fish in his mouth as
they passed through the air.-Scientifc

portions of the staple yet unpicked.
1t is estimated that from one.
fourth to three eighths of the cotton
crop is still on the stalks where it
grew, or has been beaten out and lays
in the mud wholly destroyed or worth
less for marketable purposes. A con
siderable part has been housed and
awaits dry spell to be ginned and
forwarded to market. That, however,
in the fields, it is calculated will reach
fully One-fturth Of all that was grown
in the northern portion of the cotton
belt, while considerable amount re-
mains in the fields throughout the
Mississippi valley and the country ad-
jacent, as well as Texas. The Atlantic
coast region, including Georgia the
Carolinas, and part of Alabama have
enjoyed less unfovorable weather, and
the crop has been doubtless nearly all
saved in that end of the country. 1t
is safe to estimate, however,
that the anticipated yield will be re-
duced as much as a half a million
of bales, and instead of 6,000,000 of
bales or over as a whole crop calcu-
lated upon by many statisticians, it
would be difficult now to find any one
willing to concede five and half mil
lions as the probable yield. In addi-
ton to the destruction caused by the
storms, the quality of cotton is very
seriously impaired. Last year, Hutil
long after the present time, we had
plenty of good middling and other
clean, white grades, enough and more
to supply all demands. This season
it is very difficult for a buyer to fill a
liberal order for even middling classi-
ication without care and several days
of time devoted to the selection. From
this forward, the volume of receipts
is likely to grade much lower,
and the bulk of receipts
will be blue, dusty, stained, or colored.
Meantime the price gradually tends
upward, and it is possible that little
of the loss occasioned by the elements
will be made up by the increased re-
turns likely to be realized. The way
the weather looks just now, however,
a dollar hundred would not induce a
laborer to pick it out, aud even if he
could be induced to do it, in its pres
ent wet and soggy state, it would be
valueIess. Let us hope that the
weather will clear up in few days
and that the prospect will become
brighter.

tains Of East Tennessee, left New
York for a vacation and returned with
Miss Coffin, a beautiful and lovely
girl, as his bride. Coming of an old
and steadfast family, her ancestors
having landed at Plymouth Rock, she
has been a worthy partner of his sue
cess.
When Mr.. Iuman married he was
worth about $75, ,O00-every dollar of
which he had coined out of bis own
brains and energy-a pretty good &C
cummulation for the country young
ster that had left his Tennessee home
penniless five years before. From this
time forward he has grown rich rapid
ly. In the ten years between then
aud now he has laid aside very much
over Sl,000,000 = averaging over
100000 year. In that time he has
spent and given away over a quarter
of million dollars. Last year his
net income was $4,000, and for the
next year it promises to go heavily
over 100000 As he is just thirty
six years of age, it can be readily seen
that when he has passed fifty he will
be one of the richest men in the
country.
