The Troubles In TunIs.

LONDON, August 23.-A dispatch to the
Times from Tunis saysI ''The Bey's troops,
which left Galetta yesterday, have gone to
Kairwan in the hope of inducing the tribes
there to yield, and thus obviate the neces
sito of the French entering the town. The
French, however, are determined to
occupy IT, as they desire to quell
the disaffection in the adjacent province OF
Algeria, for which purpose they must sub
jugate the southern portion of the regency.
The French are entering upon the most
difficult of their enterprises. This entry
into Ksirwan will be seriously opposed. It
is feared, in the event of collision, that the
Bey's troops will side with the rebellious
tribes"

A shocking accident occurred at the
iron ore mines of L. & G. Brooke, Ches-
ter county, Pa, Thursday afternoon.
While five men were working in the
shaft, 200 feet deep, keg of powder,
which was being hoisted in the basket,
by some means fell out and burst at the
bottom, scattering the explosive in all
directions. Theodore Miller, miner,
twenty years old, was sweeping up the
powder, when a spark from his candle
ignited it, when terrible explosion en-
sued. The young mans face, head, neck
and arms were horribly burned. The
other four men escaped with less serious
injuries, James Noble and Christian
Stevens being slightly burned about the
head and face Miller will probably die
of his injuries.

A new idea in the way of sleeping cars

A new idea in the way of sleeping cars
was exhibited in Rochester recently.
Stiff canvas stretchers take the place of
the ordinary berths, and so cleverly are
these slowed away that one would think
himself in a drawing room car unless
otherwise informed. The other appoint
ments of the car are of the same high
order as far as ease and beauty are con-
cerned. Each of the twelve sections has
two plate glass windows, and the seats
for use in the day are very comfortable.

A YOUNG GIRL HOLDS Mad Doe
A circumstance which occurred in SYRIA
cuse recently is worthy of more than
passing mention. Mrs. Palmeter, of
this city, was passing along one of the
streets, having with her pet dog, which
all at once showed symptoms of hydro
phobia, frothing at the mouth and snap
ping on all sides. Mrs. Palmeter at
tempted to seize the animal, hlt he
eluded her grasp and endeavored to bite
her, when the brave girl who accompa-
MED her-ber daughter, only fourteen
years Of age-caught the dog by the
neck and held it fast, calling to her
mother to hasten and get some man to
kill it. The mother saw that this was
the only course. and hurried away, but
it was some time before she could get
help. When she returned, accompanied
by gentleman who had volunteered to
finish the brute, she found the brave
girl, with flushed face and flashing eyes,
hanging on to the mad creature, which
was making desperate efforts to bite her.
The dog was quickly dispatched without
injury to anyone.-EImirG Advertiser.

MOTHER HAD SAVED TO PAY HER FU-
NERAL EXPENSES. Es.-John Ward, twenty
two years old, of 252 West Twenty-ninth
street, in the jefferson Market Police
Court yesterday, was remanded on a
charge Of grand larceny preferred by his
father. His mother is dying. She had
$40 in the mattress on which she lay.
She intended part of it for the payment
of her funeral expenses. Fearing that
the money might be lost, she told her son
where it was, and asked him to deposit
it in savings bank. The young man
took the money from the mattress, but
advised Mrs. Ward not to put it in a
bank. She then told him to tie it in
some way about her body, so that it
might be found there after her death.
The son pretended to do so, but went off
with the money. On Sunday evening
he was arrested. Allthe money except
$54 was gone. Mr.. Ward told Justice
Morgan that his wife might die at any
moment. He said it was her special re-
quest that the prisoner should be punish
ed to the full extent of the law.-Neso

ATLANTA, August 23.-In the House, un-
der suspension of the rules, the bill Great
ing a calendar for the new Northeastern Ju-
dicial Circuit was passed.
The first special order was the bill carry
ing into effect paragraph two of section
eighteen of article six of the constitution,
as to the selection of jurors. A substitute
was reported by the committee providing
for jury commissioners in each county, COM
posed Of one member from each militia dis
trict.
Mr.. Park, of Green, moved to amend as
to filing vacancies in the board. Adopted.
Mr.. Smith, of Oglethorpe, moved to
amend the term of service of the commits
sioners from four to two years, with view
to revise the list generally. This was op-
posed by Messrs. Hammond, Twiggs and
Barrow, and defeated.
Mr.. Park offered another new section,
which compels the commissioners to put In
the names of all upright and intelligent
men In the county.
Messrs. Estes and Hammond opposed
this as full of danger and unwtse.
Mr.. Park then withdrew the amendment.
! The substitute was thus passed, there being
no opposition.
The second special order was the bill TAX
ing the election of Judges and Solicitors
from the Legislature and giving the appoint
meut back to the Governor.
Mr.. James, of Douglas, opposed the
change.
Mr.. Smith, of Union, offered an amend

the other substitute failed.
Mr.. Barrow. of Clarke, claimed that a
change was demanded. The present plan
is both expensive and demoralizing. The
last election cost eighteen thousand dollars.
The appointment by the Governor would
save this great expense.
Mr.. Barrow's speech was both lengthy
and strong in It's points.
Mr.. Bronson, of Barlow, opposed the
bill, the substitute and amendment.
Mr.. Middlehrook, of Newton, favored the
amendment.
Mr.. Post, of Coweta, favored the substi-
tute but opposed the amendment. All
these plans had been tried and the appoint
ment plan has proved itself good one.
Mr.. Jemison, of Bibb, did not want any
change in the system. The present plan
works well enough.
Thedebate was unfinished at the hour of
adjournment.
SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
The Senate passed the following bills:
To pay II. II. Hammett tax money. Also,
repeating section All Of the Code. Also,
altering and amending section 1858 Of the

NetU Orleans Democrat.

records and pure in its deeds. gives to a
mans heart the proudest thrill that it
can know
No father can give his son nobler
heritage, no son receive a grander birth
right.
But all are not blessed with this incen-
tive to an honorable life, and many fall
into wickedness for the want of it; but
there is Divine inheritance that all
men share-the power to win and wear
the name of gentleman.
WHO Is A GENTLEMAN
Given he that leadeth an uncorrupt
life, and doeth the thing which is right,
and speaketh the truth from his heart.
"He that hath used no deceit in his
tongue, nor done evil to his neighbor,
and hath not slandered his neighbor.
HE that setteth not by himself, but is
lowly in his own eyes, and maketh much
of them that fear the Lord.
"He that sweareth unto his neighbor
and Disappointed him not, though it
were to his own hindrance.
He that hath not given his money
upon usury, not taken reward against
the innocent.
"Whoso doeth these things shall never
fail"
This seems an almost ideal standard,
but that some have reached it witness the
spotless life of that knightliest of all
brave knights, Robert E. Lee, to whom
the following grand words have been
applied:
''Thou vert the head of all Christian
knights; thou vert never matched of
earthly knights hand; and thou vert
the courtliest knight that ever bare
shield; and thou vert the kindest man
that ever shake with sword; and thou
vert the goodliest person that ever came
among press of knights; and thou
vert the meekest man and the gentlest
that ever ate in hall among ladies'; and
thou vert the sternest knight to thy NOR.
tai foe that ever put spear in rest"
But while we admire his brave, un-
daunted spirit, and worship the pure,
clean record of his daring deeds, we love
him best and revere him most for his
gracious, Christian gentlemanhood. Re-
spect for women, reverence for age and
tenderness for childhood, charity for the
erring, sympathy for the poor and love
for all men, will make nobleman out
of a serf and a hero out of village
clown.
Memories of great exploits and fiery
enthusiasms stir the blood and excite the
brain, but the remembrance of one little
deed of kindly Christian courtesy will
touch the heart and fill the eye and make
tender the secret soul The purest men
are the noblest men, and the noblest are
the most unconscious A gentleman
should never speak of himself; let his
life speak for him.
A gentleman should never hurt any
one by word or deed. Let God avenge
his own. He should never be loud in
voice or manner-quiet tones are always
the most impressive. Gentle words fall
as soft from bearded lips as from tender
er ones of women, and gentle deeds
make longest if not loudest praise.
A woman will remember the simple
lifting of hat. if done with reverence,
long after deeds of valor have been for
gotten; and the memory of kindly
smile and tender caress will outlive in a
child's mind the warlike acts of genera
ton of heroes.
Not few men think it effeminate TO
be weak, call it womanish to be gentle,
weak to be yielding, and unmanly to be
kind. They forget that
