Never Forgea Anything.

Charge your mind with your
duty. That is largely the true defini-
ton of faithfulness. The memory
and mistakes are used as apologies
a great deal oftener than necessary.
A boy beginning business lie Will
generally lose his place who pleads
such an excuse more than once or
twice.
A successful business man says
there were two things which he
learned when he was Is, which
were afterward of great use to him,
namely: Never TO lose anything,
and never to forget anything
An old lawyer sent him with an
important paper, with certain liz
structions what to do with it.
But" inquired the young man,
Suppose l lose it; what shall | do
then?''
The answer was. with the utmost
emphasis, "You must not lose it. "
|Idon't mean to, said the young
man, "but suppose / should happen

By the new schedule that took ef-
feet 5 p. M, Sunday, train No. 3,
l2:4O a. m, Southern express, will
start from Maple-street depot, talk
ing the Memphis baggage ear,
Memphis passenger coach and Mem
phis sleeper. A special tram No. a,
will leave Maple-street depot at Il
A. a. m. taking the New Orleans
baggage car, New Orleans coach,
Nashville sleeper and the through
New Orleans sleeper from Cinein-
natl. No. Al will Overtake NO. at
Bowling Green.
This extra train IS put on by the
l.. and N. Rrailroad Company for
the purpose of keeping its passenger
trains on time; the travel being
very heavy from the north and east
frequently delays its connecting
trains. No. viii leave promptly
on time, and No. Al will fake up de-
layed connections. The dividing Of
this night train and running it in
two sections will enable the trains
on the main stem 10 Bowling Green
TO arrive there on time. 1t is only
between Louisville and Bowling
Green that trains are so much over
laden that they can not make up a
large amount of time when behind.
From this it will be seen that the
management of this company is
making every effort in their power
to give the travelling public all pos
sible facilities. There will hereaf-
ter exist no reasonable possibility of
delay on southern-bound trains.

Humors of the Telegram.

That was a witty man who, being
detained by a snow blockade penned
a dispatch which ran thus "My
dear sir, ] have every motive for
visiting you, except a locomotive. :"
So was the other who, under similar
circumstances, telegraphed to his
firm in New York 81 shall not be
in the office to-day, as / have not
got home yesterday yet"
The following dispatch created
no little amusement in the office
through which it passed: "Charlie
and Julia met at SIS yesterday !;
quarreled and parted forever; met
again this morning, and parted to
meet no more; met again this even
ing and were married"
An old lady in a town of Massa-
chusetts, refused the gift of a load of
wood from a tree struck by light
ming, through fear that some of the
"fiuid" might remain in the wood,
and cause disaster to her kitchen
stove.
a good story is told of a country
woman who received a dispatch
later than she expected: at must
have been delayed on the road, #"
said she. 81 know the wires are
busy to-day, for L heard them work
ing as / came along"

Dan Mall f.oUafFa


NJ. Paul Leroy -Beaulieu calls at
tention TO the decrease of infant
mortality in France during the last
thirty years. Between 1910 and
1919 the number of deaths of chill
dren below one year (of every l 600
births) was 40; from 1850 to 1859 it
was 10; from 1860 to 1869 it had
increased to rs; and it rose during
the last decade to us. A striking
feature in connection with this
branch of social politics is the in
crease in the number of still-bOrn
children, and particularly in the
case of Nightmares. DR.. Darem-
burg published recently in the Jour
nal dies Debates the following figures
under the former head. showing
that in 1899 there was one still born
child to every 1913 birth; 1915, one
to every 34.2; in 1865, one to every
22.6; in 1860, one to every 1877, and
in 1878, one to every 1876, while
among illegitimates the number of
deaths had increased from in 20
births in 1899 to in II I'm 1873.
Both DIR. Daremburg and NJ. Ber-
tillon attribute this unsatisfactory
state Of things in a great measure to
the increase of crime and there is
no doubt that infant mortality is
largely affecting the decrease of pop
ulatiOn in France"

.rhe erease.. cog. in EUROPE.

Douglass Jerrold, although hard
hearted man, was so fond of 1un and
So sarcastic in his method that he
sometimes INDUCED his wit at the
eXpence of other peoples feelings.
Not many got ahead of him. His
publishers Bradbury g. Eveans, who
he thought had treated him rather
shabbily gave him a couple of suck
ling pigs, which he took out to his
Suburban cottage and put in a pen.
He named them-one Bradbury and
the other Evans. A couple of
months after that his publishers
came out to dine with him. After
dinner he took them out andshowed
them his pigs and said:
Il have named them after you,
gentlemen. They are growing Won
derfully, and believe if l keep
them they will grow the greatest
hogs in Europe, and do not forget
the doners!"

Terrified by a Mirage.

In Watchapreague Inlet, off the
county of Accomack, Virginia, on a
recent morning, about twenty fish
ing-boats were riding at anchor.
The sun arose behind a thick fog
bank. Presently the fog grew thin
ner until a few pale rays shot up
above. All the crews were busy at
their lines, when a shout from one
of the boats was heard. A grand
transformation scene had occurred
in single minute. Apparently
not a quarter of a mile away lay the
island of Chincoteague, with its tall
white tower, its dwellings, its trees
and shrubbery, and little boy driv-
ing a flock of sheep along the shore,
and even a little girl sitting in the
door of the light-keeper's house with
a dell in her arms. In another min
ute a fog bank rose up between
them and the shore, shutting out
from their vision their own homes.
Imagining that by some unaccOunt-
able and mysterious influence they
had suddenly been transferred a
distance of thirty miles from where
they actually were, they broke an
chorage in the greatest consterna-
tiOn, many of them in their fright
steering directly out to sea. An
hour afterward the mist vanished
and the sun shone out. The mirage
had disappeared, but there was no
more fishing on that day.

WE copy the following from J..
w. F's letter to the Courier-J Journal
of the 9th inst. 1t is well worthy
of a perusal by our readers:
This point offers strong induce
ments for manufactures. If the
manufacturing interests of the south
are to come under the care OF north
ern capital, there is no finer field for
their investments than GAINESVILLE.
In the midst of one of the finest to-
baccO-grOwing sections of the whole
country, where could a better place
be found for tobacco manufactures?
Within a few miles of GAINESVILLE
lie some of the finest beds of iron
known to the world. The woods on
both sides of the Cumberland river
abound in timber suitable for fur
niture, agricultural implements, etc.
The water-wOrks afford facilities for
establishing manufactures in any
part of the city. Heretofore all es-
adjustments run by steam have
been confined to the river, or in the
vicinity Of "the town spring." Until
recently the last named water sup
ply has furnished the water for
making steam for wagon factory,
foundry, machine shop, planning
n,ia, pillow factory and agricultural
works and a steam tobacco stem
merry. Besides the above named
establishments, GAINESVILLE now has
two planing-mills, two Touring
mills, an ice factory and three to-
baccO stemmeries located in other
portions of the city, the most of
them supplied from the water
works. The people Of GAINESVILLE
are willing 10 contribute to the
building up of manufactures, pro-
vided they can secure the aid of ex-
perienced men to take the matter
in hand. There has been a great
deal of blowing in the city papers
about manufactures, but all the
schemes have failed for the want of
some experienced man to furnish a
portion of the capital and to take
the initiative. i throw this out as
a hint to some of the manufacturing
capitalists of the north as one of the
best means possible to aid in break
ing up the solid south. Furniture
manufacturers up north are now
buying up the walnut of our forests
to carry north, there to be manu-
featured and brought back here for
sale. 1t is the same way with our
iron, tobacco and wool. In no place
in the country would a northern
capitalist be received more hOspit-
ably, than in GAINESVILLE. Here we
have the best of schools-public and
private-a most hOspitable and
highly cultivated people, large
banking capital, a high state of
morals, a place noted far and near
for its healthfulness and everything
requisite to make it a desirable loca-
ton for capital. What more do our
brothers of the north desire? Let
them come and see for themselves.

knitting, busily knitting,
The dear old grandmother sits,
While through the window in sunshine
The lazy butterfly fits.
1t lights on the well-worn Bible,
And sways It's beautiful wings,
While good old grandmother pOnders
And sweetly but feebly sings.
The hollyhOcks, tall and slender,
Stand close by the open door,
Like Sentinels Watchful and tender,
Their shadows thrown on the floor.
The blossoms tempt bees by their sweetness,
And blush in the light OF the sun,
While birds, in their nests mid the tree-tops.
Cease carolling one by one.
And now she has finished the knitting,
And thinking Of far-away lands
She watches the butterfly nitting,
And folded are grandmother's hands.
She dreams she hears little feet coming,
And all her faint pulses are stirred.
For loud oiel the sound Of bees humming,
The voices of children are heard.
They troop up the garden path gaily,
And rush through the doorway in glee;
But soon in demure satisfaction,
Are seated on grandmOther's knee.
She tells them the old-time stories,
And presses them each to her breast,
Calls them grandmother 5 dear morning
glOries,
And no one knows which she loves best.
Her dreams change slowly to others
More sad, and yet they are bright,
For three little heads are all shining
Above her, like angels Of light;
And six little hands are reckoning
And a briEht golden gate opens wide,
Where her dear old husband stands wait
And gladly she walks by his side.
And thus, sweetly resting they found her
That day at the setting sun
With a halo Of glory around her,
For grandmothers was done!

ThaI Exodus.


Some of our northern exchanges
possess the information that the ex-
odus movement has again broken
out among the negroes and that
thousands of them are leaving Ala
bama and Louisiana pell-mell for
Kansas. 1t appears that it was fur
nished by a West Philadelphia Qua
ker named Browne, who asserts
that he has just returned from the
states named. The Alabama papers
do not seem to know of anything of
the kind going on in that state, and
if there is any basis for Brownies
statement, as far as it cOneernes
Louisiana, il is not visible TO the
naked eye. Perhaps the Philadel-
phia Friend made his discovery
with the aid of a powerful micro
scope. The negroes who went to
Kansas eighteen months ago have
reported their experience TO their
friends at home and there is little
likelihood of another movement of
the kind, even if it was less pleas
ant and profitable 20 live here than
it is. Ordinary plantation hands
are not to be expected to ilee fom s.
90 day. That is the price they now
command i'm the sugar fields OF st.
james, and, perhaps, other pariahes.

If talk could create values and
make a country prosperous, then
this section Of the Union ought to
be the most fiOurishing and wealthy
portion Of the world, for we have
done little else but talk about these
things for the last thirty years. We
are good takers, and always full Of
bright projects glowing with prom
Use; always holding conventions
and meetings to resolve to do some
thing great, build grain elevators,
construct cotton c0mBresses, erect
factories, establish new lines of rail-
road, develop mines and erect furn-
aces, seton foot emigration schemes,
and il is astonishing the amount of
work we do in developing our ma
terial resources, on paper-and the
eloquence we expend in talking
these matters up, only in the end to
On nothing.
