that county are starving. The drought
last year greatly curtailed crops. and
in many portions Of the county hun
dreds of people are crowdiDg around
settlements imploriDg aid. A load Of
corn was received at the courthouse a
few days ago. Before it could be
distributed hundreds of starving
women and children crowded around
the VEHICLE, imploFing to be given a
quarter of a peck Of the grain. A
courier who has just arrived gives
heart-rending accounts of the situa-
ton. The courthouse is crowded With
men, women and children, begging for
bread. Three hundred Of them had
not tasted a morsel Of food for two
days. This county is very isolated in
the mountains, and the nearest railroad
station is forty five miles. In some
instances as much as 5000 has been
offered for a barrel of -four. Several
wagons with relief have been pushed
out from Danville, and will travel all
night in the hope OF saving some.

that the next Legislature, if Demo-

Kiss and Make I'm.


A New England school-teacher of no
little celebrity, when he caught two of
his pupils fig citing, used to send them
to bed; their food consisted of bread
and milk, or porridge, sent to them in
bowl, with two spoons, of meat and
potatoes, sent up with but one plate,
and knife and fork for each. On men,
of-war, it is customary when two Jack
tars resort to pugilistics in settlement of
personal difficulties. to iron them breast
to breast, so that their hands almost
touch. An exchange gives the follow
ing amusing account of the way in which
Russian Solomon treated fish-Women
who came to blows: He knew that
preaching would be of no use whatever
where the hearers were two women who
were cursing one another at the rate of
one hundred words a minute, and who
were only prevented from tearing one
another 8 faces by the strong arm of the
police. ''You must be. locked in the
same cell until you have kissed each
other" This was invariably the sem
tence of the new magistrate in every
case of female broil which was brought
before him. He knew that although
kissing one another is habit with male
Russians, it is not so with the women of
Muscovy, least of all with the fsh-wives.
The women were hurried off; rallied for
time louder than ever; protested that
they would die sooner than give this
humilatng sign Of reconciliation; and
then, after few hours confinement,
called the jailer and informed him that
they had kissed. They were informed
that they must repeat the kiss publicly
in the open market-place. A small fine
was taken from each, and they were
compelled, in the midst of their sisters
in trade, to kiss each other three times.

The Cherokee Rose.

The legend of the Cherokee rose is as
pretty as the flower itself. An Indian
chief of the Seminole tribe was taken
prisoner by his enemies, the Cherokees,
and doomed to torture, but became so
seriously i'll that it became necessary to
wait for his restoration to health before
committing him to the fire. And as he
lay Frustrated by disease in the cabin of
the Cherokee warrior, the daughter of
the latter, young, dark-faced 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 do SO unless she would flee
with him. She consented. Yet before
she had gone far, impelled by soft re-
gret of leaving home, she asked permis-
sion OF her lover to return home, for the
porpose of bearing away some memen-
to of it. So, retracing her footsteps, she
broke twig from the white rose which
climbed up the poles of her fathers
tent, and preserved it during her fight
through the Wilderness, and planted it
by the door Of her new home in the land
Of the Seminoles. And from that day
this beautiful flower has always been
known between the capes Of Florida
and throughout the southern states BY.

"Sallie's Elopin'; Run. Pop. Run!''

Farmer Rice, whose fertile fields are
near Danville, Va, had two things for
which to be thankful "a charming
daughter and promising patch of ear
ly vegetables. AS it SO runs in this
world of worry. however, both treas
ures were hard to keep. Sheep by day
md prowling things by night caused
the farmer to fret for his peas, his tur-
nips and his whatnot, while Dan Gu
pid's dart had struck home in the heart
OF Miss Sallie. In regard to the young
woman, Mr.. j. j. Barker, a youth Of
the neighborhood, had become her &C.
cepted lover. but Mr.. Rice opposed the
match and threatened dark deeds with
dog or dagger should the young folks
carry the nonsense to practical issue.
But Mr.. Barker was as persistent as his
sweetheart was true and plot was laid
against the old man. One morning Mr..
Barker, in company with several friends,
drove to piece of woods some 800
yards from Mr.. Rice's house, One Of
the friends slipped across to the truck
field and opened gate through which
several of the sheep passed, with the
tinkling bell of the leader playing tell
tale tune. Miss Sallie shouted to her
father that the sheep were in the truck,
and the poor old man was thus deceived
from the house. Half way to the truck
patch Farmer Rice heard his younger
daughter shrilly call and wildly gesticu-
late for his return, He saw Barker's
buggy, with the horse at gallop, cross
ing from the woods, and at the same
moment caught the sound Of the faith

the old man seized pitchfork and
started after the lovers. Away went the

this man went to work on his bill for
woman suffrage people smiled, and the

he was shrewd man. He went to the
Democratic members and said: Here,
you might as we'll vote for this, because
even if it does pass, which is doubtful,
the Republican Governor will veto it,
and you can thus show your liberality.'
He told the Republican members that
the bill Wouldn't pass, and that they had

The Floating Homes Of Bangkok,

Boats are the universal means of con-
veyance and communication, and boat
thus becomes q necessary adjunct to ev-
cry persons household; to its dextrous
use every child is trained; men, women
and children are equally accustomed.
Perhaps the most common form is q
stout skiff about twenty-five feet long,
turning up very sharply and high be-
hind, like q Venetian gondola.7 1t is
broad in the beam, and two-thirds of
its length is housed over, leaving lit
tie flat deck in front, and still smaller
one behind. Behind stands the hus-
band and sculls; in front stands the
wife, rowing and using boat-hook to
help their way through the crowds. The
front OF the boat is used for business,
passengers or cargo. The rear third is
given up to family and domestic furni-
ture.
For, incredible as it may seem, we
soon see that each boat is the home of
a family, father, mother, girls and boys,
who are born there, live there and die
there. In the daytime the children and
the furniture are crowded into a space
not over four feet square; at night they
can spread out over greater surface. I
looked into these homes with attention,
and never could enough wonder or ad-
mire how closely all was packed, with
out seemingto j0stle or painfully crowd.
Also, that the children lived so happily
and contentedly in space no greater
than a large-sized Saratoga trunk! It is
probably fact that there are many TO-
year-old- children in Bangkok River who
never walked over twenty feet in a,
straight line, in short, who have never
been on land. But then, when they
come in proximity to boats whose little
inmates they knew, they would-boys
and girls from to Plump out Of
their boat-house, and dive and swim
away to visit and gambol around to-
gether; now free in the water, now
hanging to the boats side or sitting
astride of the scull oar. And friend
tells me that he has seen them in their
visits take with them baby, to whose
shoulders mother has prudently attach
ed light gourd or other light float to
insure its safety.
In minor excursion up side canal
I found myself at the city residence of
the Prime Minister whose name have
not time to write out in full. I ran nv
boat al round through his pleasure
grounds, and wondered whether the
worthy old gentleman considered that
he was living on land or in the river.
In one part Of his aquatic elysiumI saw
magnificent specimens of the victoria
regia, whose leaves, round like a plat
ter, were over two yards in diameter.
Their rim was sharply turned up in q
ledge an inch high, and on the raft thus
formed were settled, quite at home like,
q family of frogs. They, too, seemed
to fail in with the humors of the coun-
