A Beautiful Indian Legend.

The legend of the Cherokee rose is
as pretty as the rose itself. An Indian
chief Of the Seminole tribe was taken
prisoner by his enemies, the Cherokees
and doomed to torture, but he became
SO seriously i'll that it became neces-
sary to wait for his restoration back
to health before committing him to
fire. And as he lay prostrated by di-
sease in the cabin of the Cherokee war;
rior, the daughter Of the latter, dark
faced young maid, was his nurse. She
fell in love with the young chieftain,
and wishing to save his life urged him
to escape; but he would not unless
she would flee with him. Yet before
she had gone far, impelled by soft re-
gret at leaving home, she asked per-
mission of her lover to return for the
purpose of bearing away some memen-
to of it.
So, retracing her footsteps, she took
a sprig from the white rose which
climbed up the poles of her fathers
tent, and preserving it during her
flight through the wilderness, planted
it by the door Of her new home in the
land of the Seminole. And from that
day this beautiful flower has always,
been known between the capes OFT u
rida and throughout the Southern
States by the name Of Cherokee rose.

The Work of a Hornet.

Whether or not the hornet which
worked its way up the leg and under
the trowsers of deacon in Richmond
Va, and stung him five times while
he was praying in prayer-meeting,w was
or was not an emissary of Satan, is one
of those things Which may never be
definitely ascertained. Tha story of
such an event having happened might
not be believed but for the fact that
the leading Baptist paper in Richmond
vouches for its truth. The excite
ment in the meeting was intense, not
only in the mind of the suffering dea-
con, who promptly changed his petit
ton into howl Of agony, but in the
minds of the brethren, who were star
tied to hear the accustomed monotony
of the deacon's devotional exercise
transformed into such demonstrative
elocutionary vigor. 1t is stated that
the deacon, Immediately on being stung
brought his prayer to a conclusion,
probably without even saying amen.
While there are many church prayer
meetings which are in most respects
all that they ought to be, there are
Others so dry, mOnotonous and weary
some that the entrance of live hornets
ready for active operations on those
brethren who take part would be hail.

A Spectators Gifts.

A Georgian was one day honored
with call from local clergyman,
who stated that he was soliciting
subscriptions for the erection of new
church edifice, and added
The Lord will surely prosper all
who aid u.s.
DO you honestly believe that:?'
why, certainly | do
The other subscribed $500, and as
the clergyman rose to go, he said:
4 have no doubt the Lord will re-
pay you for this inside of six months
Only six weeks had passed when the
liberal hearted subscriber called upon
the clergyman and said:
You remember | subscribed $500
towards your church building. l now
want to 60 $500 more for the seats
and carpets
Has the Lord prospered you as I
predicted?'
You bet? He not only discounted
your time one half, but He has per-
mitted me to gobble up all the stock
in a railroad except about $4,000 held
by widow. want to subscribe $500
more and have the Lord bring her to
time'

Skin Grating from Rabbits.

DR.. Lamalleree, of Paris, several
months ago performed an operation of
skin grating, employing CRAFTS obtain
ed from two different sources, a human
being and rabbit, those from the lat.
ter evlnclng a superior amount of vi
tallty. The patient, a man thirty
seven years old, had suffered for six
years from varicose ulcer Of the left
thigh, which resisted every form of
treatment. The ulcer was fourteen
centimeters long and eight deep At
the request Of the patient, DR.. lanai
leree determined upon skin grating,
for which he obtained six gratis from
the abdomen of rabbit, it having
been previously shaved, and two from
the fore arm of man. These having
been placed IN position, Lister dress
ing was applied. After the lapse of
eight days this was removed, and it
was found that those furnished by the
rabbit had become adherent. and that
new skin was forming rapidly in their
immediate neighborhood. On the
other hand, the two which had been
taken from the man had not adhered.
The dressing was continued eight days
longer. When it was removed an is
let OF skin, ten centimeters long and
seven wide, was seen to have establish
ed itself upon the centre of the ulcer.
This dressing was again re-applied,
and remained without being touched
eight days, at the completion of which
it was taken off, and it was found that
the sore had completely cicatrized.-
Two months later the patient was a
gain seen, the healing process was pro-
crossing favorably, and the newly
formed skin showed no trace of its
origin.

worse in keeping it.
Never reproach a man with the

give her thousand dollars on which
to speculate, and, like good man he
is, he complied. In day or two op,
portunity offered to buy some county
railroad bonds at a very low figures
and she invested. When he came

George, it seems as if remember
of your having some county railroad

'And you sold them:'
Yes; to-day

of others to excuse our own, is like

Cultivate consideration for the feel

reason. In all the years of his Presi
dency of the road hfs position caused
him 10 trouble. Why should it Caus'
him to change his purpose after hi
nomipation ? If it was compatible fol
Mr.. Stockley to be President of these
railroads before his nomination, why
is it incompatible since2 If Mr.. Stockley
cannot as Democratic candidate coI-
scientiously and appropriately he Presi-
dent of railroad companies which de-
fault in making payments to the State
since his nomination for Governor, how
could he conscientiously be President
of these roads when they were the same
defaultsrs before his nomination ? Mr..
Stockley bad perfect right to resign
his offices at any time, but why 80 much
merit must be attached to his actions
for doing so since his nomination we
cannot understand. The companies are
no less leeches upon the State now than
they were before the nomination, When
Mr.. Stockley was in the Senate he was
very active in behalf of the Junction
g. Breakwater road, and 1t was owing |
in great measure to hissinhuence that
the State was 30 magni6cenctly lnuni'
fcent in her favors to that Railroad
and it was also through his influence
that the State took the Breakwater and
Railroad from its swad-
ding bands and clothed 1t in the habili-
nents of manhood. 1t was not wrong
in Mr.. S;ockley to help in these enter
Drises. 1t was not wrong in accepting
he Presidences of these roads. ltwas
lot wrong for him to accept the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor. Why
8 it wrong now as candidate for Gov
,rnor to continue in the offices he has
'esigned. If as Governor he would be
in his relation to the rail-
oads, will resigning the PresidencieS
essen his pscuniary interest in these
Dads? However we will not press these
Iuestions too hard at the present time
or we are confident, the true reasons
or Mr.. Stockley's designations will yet
reep cut and at that time we may have
more to say.
