MERRY MORRISON
CRACKS his LITTLE
JOKE AT THE Tx.
pENsE or REED, THE
RuLE.CHANuER.
No one who don't
know Hon. W. L. Nor.
rison, Of Illinois, inti-
matcly, would ever
suppose there was
the least humor what
ever In him; but
those who know him
well are aware OF tho
fact that no has n dry
vein OF wit and humor
always ut hand ready
for uso that but fow
possess. Mr.. Reed, Of
Maine, no doubt was
one OF those who did
not know Morrison
we'll until n few nights
ago. Now, to fully ap-
prcciate the point, It
Is only necessary
10 call attention to tho
fact that pending the
discussion In the
House during this ses.
sion ON tho contested
election case between
Lowe and Wheeler,
tho Democrats, al
though In the minor
ity, prevented tho Ro-
publicans from get
ting TO n vote on tho
question for fully n
week. Tho Rcpubli-
cans wero In n quand-
ary us to how to get
out OF tho dilemma.
They saw very plainly
that the Democrats,
by parliamentary tao.
tics, could prevent tho
seating OF Mr.. Lowe
in spite OF the major
ity as long as tho
rules OF tho House re-
NAMED as they were.
Mr.. Reed was called
into consultation by
his Republican broth
rem TO furnish Il REM
edy. lie at once said
ho had 1t and would
bring IL forth. Sure
enough In u few hours
Mr.. Reed reported
from the Committee
on Rules IN amend
ment to tho rule un-
der which the DEM
ocrats were fllibus-
tering, which amend
ment completely ST.
fenced the Democratic
batteries and cap
tured for the Republl-
cans another Member.
This much Is said 80
as to, as above stated,
show the point In Mr..
Morrison's rotort to
Mr.. Reed q few even
ings since. II appears
that q day or two
ago Col. Hatch,an NC.
from Missouri, In
yited Mr.. Morrison to
dino with him at tho
Hamilton Hou Sc,
which invitation was
accepted. After din
ner Senator Aldrlch,
who stops at tho Ham.
ilton House, and Mr.,
Reed were invited by
Colonel Hatch TO Join
him and Colonel Nor.
rison in n game of
whist, which invita-.
tion was chcorfully
accepted, and, in q
few minutes the four
statesmen seated at O
table, Colonel Hatch
and Senator Aldrich
being partnersagainsi
Messrs. Reed and
| Colonel Morrison. The
cards were dealt and
tho game went on fol
hours, and, although
Reed and Morrison
wero the best players,
the cards, like the
rules before they were
amended were against
Mr.. Reed, and he ant
his partner were beat
en- every game. Reed
| got out of humor and
| began 10 curse the
cards. Finally he bo
came, as IL were, per.
fecily enraged and
swore and perspired,
while all hands laugh
cd at his bad luck. Al
last he said:
| "Morrison, is there
no way TO beat these
fellows"

| Morrison.

Tho Sabbath was most enjoyable day In

n Sabbath school at % $50 a. M, and there wero
present 6S scholars and teachers. This was
followed by an experience meotlngsled by W.

tended. In the afternoon Mr.. Singer, OF Union
Church, led an experience meeting. During
these exercises little daughter Of Mr.. Craig,
of Georgetown, was baptized by Rev. NJ. Web.

Considerable excitement was caused by tho
appearance Of tho Sheriff this morning, who

thatthis colored citizen has been sending q

A Discovery in the Cotton States,
Wonderful Plant Which is Both Frag-
rant and Valuable.

Attention is now attracted to new sort OF
cotton plant which bids fair to prove immense
ly valuable For many years Mr.. A A. Subers,
of Macon, has been carefully experimenting to
hybridize the cotton plant that grows wild in
Florida with common okra. The cotton plant
used is of that species which is found on the
low lands of the Caloosahatchie River. The
new plant retains the okra stalk and the foil
age of the cotton. Its flower and fruit, howev-
or, is strikingly unlike either cotton or okrs.
The plant has an average height OF Two ieet,
and each plant has only one bloom. rms Is
maenificent flower. very UGH like the great
magnolia in fragrance and equally as large
Like the cotton bloom, the flower is white for
several days after it opens, after when IL Is
first pale pink, and gradually assumes darker
shades of this color until it becomes red, when
it drops, disclosing wonderful boil. For about
ten DAYS this boil resembles the cotton boil, and
then its grewth suddenly increases as ifby mag
ic until it finally reaches the size of big cocoa
nut, Not until it reaches this size does the lint
appear Then its snowy threads begin TO burst
from the boil, but are held securely in place BIZ
the okra-like thorns or points that line the boil
One inexperienced picker can easily gather 800
pounds a day, and fast hands much more
Were the only saving that of labor in gathering
the lint, the result of Mr.. Subers experiment
would entite him to the everlasting gratitude
of the Southern Farmer. But this is not all
there are no seeds i'll the lint. Each Doll pro-
duces about two pounds Of very long staple COT
ton, superior to the sea island, and at the Dol
tom of the boil there are from four to SIX SEEDS,
resembling the persmmon seed. ms new
cotton, therefore, needs no ginning

Tine Capture of Alexandria.

The English have captured the coveted
forts that guard Alexandria, and will oc-
cupy that city within few hours Arab
Bey and the Arabs under his command have
left the place and withdrawn to the interior
where British iron-clads cannot modest nor
make them afraid. The seizure of Alexan-
dria was holiday task to the leading naval
power of the world, and will be retained
without much difficulty. Its possession
gives Great Britain the only naval post she
needed to secure her connections with the
Suez Canal. She held Gilbratar, the gate OF
the Mediterranean, and Malta and Cyprus
islands that command the great inland sea.
She now holds Alexandria, and has made
the new route to India secure. The Suez
Canal, built by French enterprise, is now
entirely under Bsitish control. The security
of British interests in that important water
way is all that England is ostensibly con-
tending for. And, if we take her at her
word-a foolish thing to do-her work is
over. But she will not be content with
what she has done. The old Saxon earth
hunger, the longing of the Northman for
lands favored of the sun, is strong upon
her; and she cannot rest until Egypt
is as much her own as is India
Arab Bey and his Bedouin horsemen will
be followed into the desert until Cairo, like
Madras and Delhi, is policed by English
men. The other European powers may OBJ
iect TO this extension of British sway, but
glance at the guns of British men-of war
will determine them to make no serious OPP
position. She commands all the water APP
proaches to Egypt,-and it is impossible
to convey an army there by land.

Malcolm Fairfax.
Sudden End to the Career of Brilliant
Rogue.
lrondon letter in chicago News

London Letter in Chicago News.1
The other day man known as Malcolm
Fairfax was brought up at Bow street on
charges OF 'orgery and confidence operations
covering long term of years. He had enjoyed
about as brilliant career as you often hear
spoken Of. He had travelled in the best soci-
ETY. for decade, and had stood very high,
partly by reason of his fine breeding and bright
qualities, and partly on account OF his supposed
wealth He was understood to be retired In
dian merchant, and everybody seemed to like
him. When arrested he was living in Alex
andria, Egypt, where the English colony re-
garded Malcolm Fairfax as one of its most par
ticular ornaments. Only month or SO before
his downfall be actually had the audacity to
sit as president of a "court of honor" appoint
ed to inquire into certain performances by a
well-known military officer. His signature is
affixed to the document of that body finding
the officer innocent of the charge brought
against him. At Gibraltar he committed
forgery and it brought him to grief, for detec-
tiyss we're set after him at once and they
hunted him down. He was having dispute
with the British Consul at Alexandra, when
the latter said to him: "The detective is
waiting for you with warrant on that GiDral-
tar CHARGE Malcolm never changed color or
gave a sign of discontinue, bot smillng SAID:
"Ah then don't need trouble you any !ur-
Their" With that he quietly atepped aside,
drew o razor out of his pocket and slashed
himsefsacross the throat He bled fearfully,
but was fixed up by the surgeons and brought
to England, where he pleaded guilty to the
charges preferred against him, and was sem
fenced to five years penal servitude.

ssYes, 1 noticed bad error right at the

sWell, perhaps not; but when you are run

you will either have to go to the roof or come
down to the ground to respond. balcony is

IT appears that the trouble which has
prevented the French government from en-

of their aggressions in Tunis, Morocco,

In Geneseo, N. Y, a prominent citizen
afflicted with consumption which had near
ly gathered in its victim, began to take his
pet dog to bed with him regularly. The
dog soon exhibited lung troubles, coughed
almost constantly, and finally died. Then
another dog was called to the service, and
he, too, contracted cough and died of it.
The prominent citizen is now on his third

BOSTON Traveller: When the Democrats
talk of reform they mean to reform the
Republicans out of office, and reform them
selves in. From Jackson to Buchanan in
elusive they preached exactly that gospel
OF reform and practiced it, too. They would
have no other gospel of reform in 1884 or
1888, if they should be recalled to national
power. Republicans who are disposed to
follow the ignis fatuus of an independent
movement this year, will, in so doing, mere
