OH, ITS JOHN.
The Result of shaving Off His beard.

The Result of Shaving Off His Beard.
A St. Louis woman walked the
other night, and putting out her
hand touched the smooth face Of an
unknown man. She jumped out of
bed and screamed for help. Her
brother, who slept in the next room,
entered, and, not finding any match
es seized the intruder by the hair DC
his head, pumbled him soundly, ex-
pressing at the same time, In the
most vigorous terms, his opinion Of
the sconndrel who would be guilty
of such an act. Then he dragged
him into the middle of the room,
thumped him, kicked him, aud threw
him out of the window into the back
yard below. The noighbors, arous-
ed by the noise, came in, aud light
was procured. Nothing had been
taken, and attention was directed to
to the miserable object who lay
grooming 10 the yard. 1t would be
useless to describe that face, with
its nose spread all over the middle
of it, one eye bullying out and the
ether closed up, both colored like an
indigo bag, an open mouth, and a
row of twisted teeth, much less to
recognize it ; but, as the excitement
slowly subsidized, and cool reason be-
gan to reign, thought suddenly
struck she. wife that made her turn
pale with horror. why, it can't DO
1t must be-yes, it is John 7 He
has been to tho barber's = 1t was
true, he had. He was her husband,
and on his way home late in the
evening, feeling his long and heavy
beard oppressive in the heat, he had
had it ehorn. His wife was asleep
when he crawled into bed, and he
soon feel into a comfortable nap,
from which he was rudely awakened
to the experience above recorded.
She is now making tho best poul-
ices and chicken soup for him she
nows how.-[St. Louis Republican.

A sTARrLING STATEMENT.

In hiu speech last Wednesday,
Hon, Clifford Anderson said that he
had heard on what BIO considered
good authority, that Mr.. Stephens
had been approached in Washington
and told that if he would lead
movement to Mahoneize Georgia, he
should have the entire influence Of
the Federal government to back
him, and million dollars 10 money
for campaign purposes but he res
fused. - Monroe Advertiser.
IT'S indeed startling statement
and one that should command seri-
GUS attention, Mr., Stephens refus~
ed to lead tho movement. The
question now arises what was done
with the million dollars which was
ready to be given in the glorious
cause of Mahonizing Georgia 7 Is
it mol. reasonable to presume that a
share of it is to be found in the
pockets Of the men who are engaged
in the work which they desired Mr..
Stephens to do, and which heIrefused
to perform. The paragraph VIC re-
peat is startling showing as it does
the value of the prize for which re-
pubIicanism iS playing in Georgia -
that prize being nothing more or
less than the debauch;ng of whole
people by means most Infamous

WHAT MANUFACTURERS DO FOR
A CITY.

baltimore Journal of Commerce.
| A little over year ago the wri.
ter passed through Roanoke, Va ,
then a mere way station known az
Big Lick. To-day Roanoke has
about 5000 inhabitants, and will
probably have more than double that
number inside or a year. This
wonderful development is due to
manufacturers. The Shenandoah
Valley and the Norfork and West
crn Railroads determined to make
this point their junction, and are
now erecting shopsin which employ
ment will be given to about 1000
hands. The managers of these
roads interested some Philadelphia
capitalists in Roanoke, and.s Land
Improvement Company, with nom.
inal capital of 100000, of which
100000 is paid up, was formed
then came q large furnace company
with heavy capital (; then the Gro,
zier Stsel and Iron Company, with
$500, 900 capital, followed by nu-
merous smaller manufacturing as
adjustments; while in to- days

mill the organization of new iron
company with q capital Of $780,
900 an increase of 300,0001to the
paid up capital of the Land Im-
provement Company; and, in addi-
ton to all these, a contract has ust
been closed for the erection of fifty
new buildings. There are also a
number of tobacco factories plan
ing mill and sash and blind manu-
iacturer, and two others in construc.
ton a steam spoke and axe,handle
factory, and a number of other fac
tories, while a cotton mill is now
talked of.
This is what one Southern village
has done in year, and one in
which the advantages, while very
good, are 10 no way superior to
those possessed by hundreds of
other Southern towns and cities.
Throughout the South there are
many other places building up just
as Roanoke is doing, although prob
ably not quite SO rapidly. These
places are thoroughly demonstrating
the advantages of the Southern
States manufacturers, and the actual
results are doing more to convince
the world of this fact than all the |
glittering generalities ever publish

A number of months ago a man
stopped in Pittsburg, Pa, on bis
way to the mines, and borrowed
81 400 from friend, telling him at
the same time that be assumed some
risk in giving him the money, as he
wanted to invest in mines, which
might turn out we'll and might not.
His friend had faith, and be got the
money. A few days ago the Pitts
burg man received by express q
gold brick worth $1,000. A let
ter accompanying it informed him
that it was from the man to whom
he had loaned the 81 400, and he
was urged to accept it, not as pay
ment of the loan, which would be
settled little later, but sc token
of friendship and good feeling.
