the only pupil he could procure at

further inquiries proved this worthy
to be identical with the formidable
licentiate of Bagdad, Almohadi, who
wanted the instructor for his own son,
was earnestly advised to alter his
choice, as a prince Of such tender
years would surely succumb to nervous
prostration at the first grammatical
interview. The caliph ridiculed these

Ferry's seed Annual.

The best is always the cheapest.
Nothing illustrates so clearly the
thoroughness of the civilization Of
this nineteenth century as the fact Of
the scientific development and min
utie Of detail exhibited in all branches
of trade and commerce. This is sug-
gested by an examination of the Seed
Annual for 1882, published by D. M.
Ferry & Co., the great seedsmen Of
Detroit, Michigan, copy of which is
before us. Here is work as large if
not larger than any of the first class
magazines issued free to all who
apply for it, elegantly illustrated, and
containing an amount Of information
such as the names, common and bo-
tanical, classification, character, hight
and color of plant, mode of culture
and what to avoid, the numerous varies
ties and their distinctive marks, with
general directions for the cultivation
and management Of a garden, such as
could not be obtained from perhaps
fifty volumes, few if any of which are
within the reach Of the reader, and so
condensed and arranged as to be easily
understood by all. Surely such en-
terprise deserves the success which
we are happy to know this extensive
and liberal house is meeting with.

DOG CATCHING.
How Ours Are Caught Here and
Elsewhere.

The city scavenger's contract will be
decided upon in few days by the
Commissioners. The practice has been
for years past to poison all unmuzzled
dogs in summer, the police distributing
the buttons and the scavenger remov-
ing the csrcasses.
Memphis is, perhaps, the only city
Of its size which uses this method to
rid the streets of the ever multiplying
army Of worthless ours, and the prac-
tice is one which, especially on account
Of the season in which it is carried on,
should be discontinued, as the odor
thrown from decomposing animals is
not very conducive to health.
The other plan is to catch the dogs
alive and remove them alive. This
plan, adopted by most Eastern cities,
meets with universal approval wher-
ever known. The dogs are caught by
means of wire lasso or sling, as it is
called, the use of which is readily
learned. A good hand never misses
his aim at a cur if he can approach
within twenty feet of him. Each dog
catcher has covered cart, into which
he puts his catch, and when he has a
load, they are driven to the scaven
gers and placed in a common cage.
Here they are all allowed to remain
twenty-four hours, which gives the
owner of any valuable dog which may
have been caught time to redeem him
on payment of triAing amount.
Owners of fine hunting dogs will
thus be relieved of much Of the anEi-
ETY. felt when the custom is to poison
outright.

ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE.
An Old Lady OF Nashville Born
in I777.

Banner, February1.l
On the corner of Market and Chest
nut streets, in South Nashville, re-
sides Mr.. VIM. G. Glissan and family,
with whom lives Mrs. Ann Winter,
the mother Of Mrs. Glissan.
Mrs. Winter was born in Ireland
about the year 1777, in Rathcormac,
County Cork, which makes her about
105 years OF age at this time. In
1917, in company with her husband,
whom she married in the town Of her
birth, she came to America and set
tied in Cincinnati, where they remain
ed until 1855, when they came to
Nashville, where she has lived ever
since-her husband having died here
in 1865, of old age. Mrs. Glissan,
who accompanied her parents from
Ireland to New York, says that
all she remembers about that city is,
that when they arrived there the dead
were being removed from the GENE
terry, then located whereTriuity church
now stands. Mrs. Winter had eleven
children-six sons and FIVE daughters
FIVE of whom are now living -four sons
and one daughter). OF the living
children, Edward is living in Colorado;
William is farming near Waverly, in
Humphreys county, this State; John
keeps saloon on Market street near
Broad, this city; Thomas is journey
man shoemaker and does the fitting
for several dealers, and Mrs. Glissan,
whose husband is bookkeeper, re-
sides on the corner of Market and
Chestnut streets, where the old lady
also lives.
At this advanced age of 105 years,
Mrs Winter is remarkable specimen
of longevity. Although her memory
is faulty as to occurrences of the
past Eve or ten years, her mind is clear
and lucid on all the occurrences of hel
girlhood and her early womanhood
She remembers all about the great
Irish outbreak Of 1898, and spoke with
great interest of the battle of Wex
ford, which occurred in that year al

chief clerk he was. For several years
he was Minister 70 Belgium. and was
reappointed by Mr.. Hayes. but the
Senate failed to confirm him.
His investments in Florida began
with the purchase Of 10000 acres--A
Sranish grant Afterwards known as
the Sanford grant. He paid SSo, 600
for this, and at once began q series Of
improvements. He built two hotels
at an expense ofabout 500, 900 and laid
out the town Of Sanford, which now
has over 1000 inhabitants.
A popular exvConfederate General
has the leading strings ofone of the
big companies that is buying Florida
land by the million acres. General
Roddy, who is the lucky ex-Comfeder-
ate, made and lost money rapidly in
Wall street, and then went to England
with a patent for ventilating steam
boats. While there he fell in with
Sir Edward Reed and his friends, and
now appears in Florida as the attorney
of the land company formed by Sir
Edward and DR.. Werdheim. These
gentlemen, representing English and
Dutch capitalists, bought 100000
acres of land from the Disston compa-
ny at twenty cents an acre, taking halt
of the 100000 acres Disston had paid
twenty five cents an acre for. They
are to take, however, what is left after
Disston's company selects its half.
