COMING TO TIE POINT.


Comment is often made on the curiosity
of people in the agricultural DISTRICTS but it
is only right and proper that an honest farm
er who is addressed by perfect stranger
should weigh the subject well before giving
away valuable information. The other day
Detroiter who was engineering horse
and buggy over muddy highway in the
western part of this county met farmer and
called out:
"Do you folks fly when you go TO
town ?"
The farmer put down the rail he was lift
ing up, took chew of shorts" and advan-
cling nearer, calmly inquired:

aNo.n
'sWant to buy a mate to him 2"
mo"
"Want to trade that buggy for wagonfn
"No.n

"Speculating in 'tators any ?"

"About twelve miles,
"Going to the city to-night?n
Yes, if can get there. Now, then, do
you folks out here along the line of this in
fernal river of mud fly when you go to
town ?"
The man looked around, heaved sigh
and broke off twig to pick his teeth be-
fore answering:
Stranger, what kind of flying machine
are you peddling and what's your very low
est figures for cash 2"--DetgoH Free Press.

WHAT THE CIRCUS DID.

We were quiet and sober set,
Little accustomed to noise and fret,
Decent and modest at work or play,
And OIL so proper In every way, -
Before we went to the Circusf
Nobody had ever seen us go
Az all too fast, or at all too SLOW;
NO matter how gayly we talked or sang,
We never had used word OF slang
Before we went to the Circus!
We went TO church, or we went to school,
BY the very most orthodox kind OF rule;
For we were people of Dutct descent,
And rather phlegmatic Of temperament,
Until we went to the Circus!
Alas and alas tits a woful sight,
The way we changed at the time writel
Father is swaying against the breeze,
Hung by the toes from q high trapeze,
Trying to copy the Circusi
The boys on their heads, with feet In air,
are riding Wild horses on each high chair;
OR down on their backs on the sidewalk brick
Are balancing tubs for Juggling trick;
The girls have painted their hands and face,
And got themselves I'D for an Indian race.
As they s;tw them do at the Circus!
Mother high up on the table stands,
Swinging the baby with both her hands,
Swinging the baby with many rub,
And brandishing him Ike an Indian clabl
While baby himself, in terrible fright,
Howis like Zulu from morn till night,
Since I'VE went to the Circus!
Alas and alas! can only say,
wish in the night, / wish In the day,
wish with my heart, wish with my head,
Iwfsh with my ears, which are nearly dead,
wish with sort OF mute despair,
wish with Shrek that would rend the air,
We never had gone to the olrcusi
Wide Awake.

LANGLEY, OF THE ALLEGHENY oBsERVA-
TORY.
WASHINGTON, September 5.-General w.
B. Hszen, chief signal officer of the United
States army, has received from Prof. S. p.
Langley, Of the Allegheny Observatory, a
preliminary report OF the observations m ad e
on Mount Whitney, COL, in 1881, to deter
mine the amount of heat which the sun
sends 10 the earth, or, in technical terms, the
"solsr constant" The party consisted of
Captain q. X. Michelis, United States army,
two non-commissioned officers of the signal
service, four soldiers as an escort four civil
ian assistants, and Prof. Langley. The
ascent was made on July, and observations
began in August, and lasted into September.
Prof. Langley regards the results as highly
valuable. Mount Whitney was chosen
because OF lis great altitude, ex-
treme dryness and abrupt rise from the
plain. The camp at the loot of the noun
tain was in charge OF Sergeant Dobbin, and
observations were made at the foot and sum-
NIT in order to test the comparative amount
Of heat in The suns rays. The observations
made are described by the professor in de-
tail. He finds the solar constant to be greater
than that computed by previous observers.
His approximate OF it is, in technical terms,
from twenty-six to thirty calorics. This i'm

LITTLE Rock, September 5.-The election
in this county (Pulaski) on the county ticket
is still undecided, but the election Of all the
Peoples ticket, supported By the Democrats
and Independent Republicans, is claimed by
its supporters, though the Republicans also
claim small majority. The result will be
determined by few isolated Townships un-
reported. Slack, the Republican nominee
for governor, who resides here and is very
popular personally, has carried the county.
He will doubtless lead the Republican ticket
in the State 1900 votes. The returns show
increased Democratic majoriiies on the State
ticket, whose majority will be larger than
anticipated. The Greenbsck vote is very
small in the State. 5a

WHILE the Democratic State Convention
last June had the State debt under consid-
Grafton a great many plans of settlement
were offered. Among them there was one in
the form of a minority report from the Com
miltee on Platform, signed by General w. A.
Quarles and General w. H. Jackson, which
was as follows:
"That in the opinion of this convention a
"mziority OF the Democracy of Tennessee
are SO opposed to the late act settling the
State debt at sixly-and three-four-6ye-snd-
six, that its practical execution will not be
carried out, but recognizing the desire 10
a. settle the debt in good terms and faith, we
tender to cur creditors proposition TO set
"tle al ifty-and-four and urge upon them its
acceptance. II accepted we pledge the
"houor OF the State to faithful and honor
able execution of our promise"
This report was drawn up BY Senator How
ell z. Jackson, and urged by him before the
committee, the Objectionable sixty-and-six
act being then in force. The people are as
much opposed to that act nov as they were
then. They stand to-day on that question jus
where they stood then. But Senator Jack
son has changed. He no longer csrei
for the wishes of the people. The bond
holder is his particular care, and he shrieka
over the honor of the State being involved
and wrapped up inextrieasly IN the sixty
and-six act, which he condemned in th'
name and ia 6ebali of the people when h'
urged a fiiy-and-four settlement. Senate
Jackson has stulti6ed himself. and will con
time to siultify himself every day that b
speaks for Fassell and helps iu the Graz
effort to disrupt the Democratic party.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, September 5.-The
Democrats have swept the State by large
majority on the State ticket, and have been
successful in most of The counties, except the
few largely Republican. The vote was the
heaviest ever polled, and the heaviest gains
are in The Democratic counties, especially IN
the great Democratic stronghold, the north
west. The Legislature win be Democratic
by heavy maj ,rity, and will re-elect Sena-
tor Garland, who will have practically nc
opposition in any quarter. Returns contain
little news about the Grsenbsck ticket
Some of the Greenbsckers voted for the
Republican State ticket, bat most appear TO
have supported the Democratic ticket. The
Republican nominee for governor, Colonel
Slack, has run considerably ahead OF his
his ticket, being man OF great personal
popularity. The election ia very close III
this county. A small msjority is claimed
for the Peoples or Democratic ticket, bui
the same claim is also made by the Repub-
licans. Interest is centered chiefly in the
race for sheriff, for which Ex-Mayor Fletcher
opposes Colonel Oliver, the present sheriff
and a leading Republican. I
