Practical Information,

What is rack rent, dad?" inquired a
young Comstockcr who had been read
ing the news from Ireland.
The patient parent laid down the stock
list and replied: "Do you know how
much 1 charge Mr.. Boggarty for his
room upstairs?
'Yessir; S12 month"
"Well, now, suppose Mr.. Boggarty
should take it into his head to have, at
his own expense, new paper put on the
wall. the ceiling whitened, and all the
furniture mended, the room would look
a heap sight prett;er, wouldn't it p
Lori" murmured tho intelligent
boy. /,
"Well, if the minute Boggarty had
got all these improvements made should
90 up, and look around, and smile, and
jingle my money in my pocket, and re-
mark, This is a pretty good sort of q
layout for single man, Boggarty, and
you have altogether too soft thing;
your rent Will be 500 month hereafter,
what would you think of it?"
The innocent child giggled and said,
"That would be cheek, wouldn't it,
dad?"
"Bet your money on it, my boy" re-
piled the father, beaming kindly upon
his offspring. "That would be rack
renting Mr.. Boggarty, and if he kicked
and claimed that all the Improvements
had been made by him without costing
me cent, and 1 should fire him out,
that would be eviction. 1 will now"
continued the parent, warming up,

fours," while the women set down clasp
ing their knees with their hands. Sub
sequently the women formed circle,
and then retired into line joined by the
men. The dancers We'd with each other
in grotesque contortions, anil the one
who succeeded the best was the loudest
applauded. Every joint and muscle was
brought into play, and at intervals. the
men and women would drop ont to re-
fresh themselves with millet and beer.

hole in the bark and outer wood The
spot has since decayed some in conse-
quence of the abrasion from Mr.. Clay's
boot heel. Who can tell what thoughts
passed through the mind of the great
commoner when thus sitting and rumin-.
ating? Perhaps in front of that modest
office, with his heels elevated, he formed
some of his great plans, and forged some
of the thunderbolts that shook the Amer
lean continent. 1t was in this same Office,
too, that Mr.. Clay was sitting when the

The beating of the drum announced
that the dance was about to begin. The
men arranged themselves vis-a-vis with
the women, as in ballet dance in Eu-
ropoan theater. The dance opened by an
advance of the women, who kneeled be-
fore the men and then retired. The men
next advanced, slapped each other on
the thigh, knelt and withdrew. After a
pause both men and women went
through figure somewhat resembling
"The Lancers." The women displayed
some peculiar coDtortion of the limbs,
and simultaneously the men passed in
and out between the contortionists.
This was only the prelude to more ex-
citing scene--a very lively dance not un-
like the French can-can accompanied by
savage gesticulations. Some of the
men threw themselves violently on the

SILK Knitfing.

The Hot Springs (Ark.) Star has the follow
ing touching the best brand Of knitting silk;
There are two kinds of knitting silk-one made
from pnre thread silk, the other from spun
silk. Thread silk ia reeied from cocoons, sew
eral threads being doubled and twisted togeth-
er, according to the desired size of the finished
thread, and is OF far greater strength and dura-
bility than any other fiber known. Spun silk is
made from short pieces of waste, carded and
spun like wool, and have but little strength OF
durability. All knitting silk stamped Bedding
Brothers Il Co.," with blue ink, on the eLd OF
each spool, is warranted pure thread silk, and
will wear fully three times as long aud looL
much better than any spun silk. The
superiority Of Bedding Brothers 4 Co.'S manu-
facture is not confined to knitting silk. AL
other goods bearing the stamp Of their names
will be found, also, to be the best.

FROM the most remote ages the hat
has been an emblem of liberty, and has
embellished the coins of many nations.
As covering for the head it dates back
to the time of ancient Greece. Eleven
hundred years ago the quality and style
of the hat worn bespoke the rank and
taste Of the wearer. It being the most
conspicuous article of dress, and sur
mounting all the rest, it was nat,ira! that
the beau monde should give to IL special
care and attention. That it still bears
like significance is evident from the great
demand for the Dunlap hat, which dis
eliminating public has accepted as the
standard of the present day.

eyed, quick and energetic OF speech, Is
the modern Athenian. THE groups of
men who seat themselves toward evening
at the little tables which fill the streets
before the principal cafes, as they talk
politics over their little cups of black
coffee, or their glasses of water and wine,
gesticulate with that energy OF action IN
conversation which marks the passion
ate son of the South. Often the Atheni-
an carriesin his hand string OF beads,
not for religious purposes, but that he may
relieve himself Of excessive electricity by
shift ng through his fingers as he bargains
and talks-a safety-valve and reassur-
ing process akin TO the Yankees whit.
Ting. He Ia keenly sensitive of every
word you utter, quick to take your mean
and as polite az q Frenchman In ready
Difference to your expressed epinion;b but
none the less he holds firmly to his
own belief unless you have convinced
his reason. This he may not tell you.-
He may leave you TO infer that you have
won him over; and thus he has some
time laid himself open to the charge of
dupiicty and deceit whore he meant only
TO be craditsd with peliteness.--Mer errill

THE ATLANTA COTTON EXPoSI-
TI0N.

MIR. Fl. /. Kimball telegraphs that he
has secured In Boston $4,000 in actual
subscriptions towards the International
Cotton Exposition at Atlanta, Ca, and
has the assurance from the highest quar-
tiers that the subscription will be swelled
to $4,000 within short time. Plans for
the exposition buildings have been agreed
upon, and eminent Boston constructing
and consulting engineers have been
selected, which is regarded as a guaran-
tee of the perfect carrying out the plans.
Mr. Kimball says the interest in the ex-
position is deepening daily, and the sole
problem now unsolYed Is as to how At
ianta will accommodate the crowd that will
pour through her gates during the ex-
position. He add that she may make her
arrangements to entertain at least three
thousand people daily during the three
months, and that the exposition will not
be full success unless this Is fixed be-
fore 1t Is too late.

FROM THE MAGELLAN STRAITS
THE HUNTING TRIP THAT A wILMINs-


ToN1AN ENJOYED BOAT RACE.
James J. Burke, brother Of Thomas
A. Burke. butcher, of this city, is on
the q. 8. steamship Marion, now lying
in the Straits of Magellan, at Sandy
Point. Patap onia. In a recent letter
he gives the following account of
hunting trip enjoyed by himself and a
party Of shipmates some time ago:
ga party of ten-dve officers and
Eve men-took the sailing launch, and
loading with provisions for two weeks
started off on a hunting excursion.
The first right after we left the ship
we were caught in heavy gale, and
had to run under the lee of an island
and sleep all night in the boat. Next
morning we started for our destlna-
tion with head wind, and after hard
beating for two hours succeeded IN
getting about six miles up small
river, where we pitched our tents and
hauled the launch up on the beach.
The first day we did not hunt much,
as were all tired, but early next morn
ing we started out with our guns, and
before night all came back loaded with
game. drought in three swan, four
geese and twelve ducks. The next
day we broke camp and started for the
interior, and for two weeks had gay
time. We brought back to the ship
300 swan, 800 geese, 600 ducks anc w
foxes, besides two small cub lions that
we caught alive. they are now in a
cage ON the spar deck, and sometimes
we allow them to run around the
deck"
Accompanying the letter asa small
paper called the Shenandodhs organ,
printed on board the U. S. flagship
Shenandoah. 1t contained, among
other thugs, an acc ,unt of race be-
tween the third cutter of the Marion
and the third cutter of the Sheddndoah,
in which the former proved victorious.
The course was 2a miles and the time
AZ m., ASS. and 4S minutes-an ex-
ceedingly close contest. The bets
reached about $4,000 on each side.
