ago while he was trading at Key West. 1t

outwitted by a Southerner. The Captain
was trading in a small vessel, and had been
up the coast to Tampa Bay, where he
purchased 90 dozen chickens, paying 81 per
Dozen The chickens ran ali the way in
size from a few days old to full grown ones.
At Key West hotel landlord came along
side and asked the Captain how he sold his
chickens. The Captain replied "If you
pick them out shall charge you six dollars
per dozen II you let me pick them out you
can have them at three dollars per dozen. !"
All right" said the hotel man "you pick
them cut" The Captain selected several
dozen of the smallest, when the man said,
Go ahead, want more" The Captain
was now among his largest fowls, and
wished the man wonld stop, but he still
said eco on" The Captain saw the
point at last The man kept him selecting
until he purchased the entire lot at loss
of $40 to the owner Alter this the Captain
sold his chickens on different plan.

Last Nights Police Court.

Last evening in the police court, James A.
Linthieum complained that James johnson
had robbed him of pair OF shoes, two
handkerchiefs, razor and a knife. The
two men occupied the same berth or pile
of lumber during Tuesday night, and yes
terday morning the plaintiff awoke and
found his bedfellow had arisen very early
and disappeared. The goods mentioned
were also missing about the same time. One
of the handkerchiefs was found ON johnson
when he was arrested. The prisoner was
held In $500 bail to appear at court. Policy
Bowers, who is said to belong to a
gang who have been in the habit of
making night and sometimes day,
hideous with their carrying on" was
before His Honor charged with having
resisted and assaulted officer Cannon, who
endeavored to arrest him ON the morning of
July 4th. Bowers was arrested Tuesday
on his return from Lancaster, where he went
after the disturbance. The prisoner wanted
to waive hearing to appear at court, but
the Mayor told him that he couldn't come
that game" Several witnesses testified TO
the facts of the case and the young man
was fined $40 and costs. Halt the fine was
afterwards remitted and the full amount
S11.0l was promptly paid by friend.
Henry McMonagle, when told by an officer
to go home as he was too drunk to be on the
street, said he woud rather go to the hall
and pay his fine than 90 home. The Mayor
told him he could be accommodated that
way and gave 80 cents and costs.

The Future of the Head.

Abundant hair is not sign of bodily oil
mental strength, the story of Samson having
given rise to the notion that hairy men are
strong physically, while the fact is that the
Chinese, who are the most enduring of all
races, are mostly bald, and as to the suppo
sition that long and thick hair is sign and
token of intellectually, all antiquity, all
mad-house and all common observation art
against it. The, easily wheedled Esau wai

FIRE SPARISS,
The Department Somewhat Crippled--A
rival OF the Delaware Truck.

rival OF the Delaware Truck.
Should large fire occur in this city at
the present time IL would find the depart
ment in somewhat crippled condition. In
fact, it would hardly be able to successfully
battle with the fiery element. Out of the
seven engines in the department 6nly three,
it may be said, are in service, the Phoenix,
Water Witch and Weccacoe. The steamer
Of the Washington Company is Sill at the
works in Manchester, N. H., undergoing
repairs; the Fame Hose, which has been
out OF service for three months, has been re-
turned from the machine shop, but has not
yet been placed in service. The Reliance
have shipped their engine to the works in
New York, and the Friendship, although in
service, does not run to ordinary alarms on
account of one of their horses being sick.
The new truck of the Delaware Fire Com
pany is expected to arrive here tomorrow
and will be placed in service within few
days.
A prominent fireman complains OF the
manner In which boys and halfgrown men
behave on the fire grounds. He thinks
there ought to be something inaugurated to
stop their depredatioDs.
The Water Witch have walled up the
back part of their building, in order TO pro

The stephens Boom.

Mr.. stephens will never be a partisan
Governor. By nature a Liberal, and with
the record of Liberal, it may be set down
as an absolute certainty that he will give
Georgia u Liberal administration. The full
significance of the revolution in Georgia
politics, which was inaugurated by this
paper several months ago, is not yet under
stood by the Bourbons and the bosses, but
it is beginning to dawn upon their minds.
With Governor Stephens in the executive
chair, Georgia will take the lead in the
movement which is to redeem, regenerate
and disenthrall the Southern States from the
bondage of the bosses and the rings.

Dalton, Mass, states in letter DIR. Kennedy that
he had been troubled with bladder complaint for IA
years, and had consulted at different times seven
physicians; but nothidg beyond temporary allay
ment of the pain had been worked for him. Towards
the end of last January Mr.. Lawler called ON Dr.
kennedy. Sounding him. the doctor "struck stone"
He directed that Mr.. Lawler should first try the
"Favorite Remedy" as. if possible, to avoid an
operation. And here is the remarkable result :
"Dear Doctor kennedy-The day after | came home
