He has been sufferer for many years with
sciatlC rheumatism. On Thursday of last
week the disease went to his heart and he
came near smothering to death, but rallied
and lies now IN a critical condition, with bu,
little hopes for his recovery
The Sabbath school at the Baptist church
IN our town Is in a tlourlshing condition with
A. c. Baldwin as superintendent, who has
filled that office five consecutive years and
been reelected and entered on his sixth. He
has full quorum of assistants. The school
comprises eleven classes with over one hun.
dred scholars. Prof. Murch, of La Sale, will
lecture at the above church on Thursday eve
ming, the 18th. Subject: "The Erection OF
a Symbol of the Jewish Tabernacle" with ex.
PLANTATION. We anticipate pleasant time and
profitable lecture and hope 1t will be success
financially, as the proceeds above expenses go
toward repenlshing the Sabbath school H.
brary.
The weather the past week was cold and
wet-a good time to pillow but poor to plant.
The planters will be kept busy this week, and
by Saturday night the corn through this sec
ton will all be planted. Small grain looks
well and bids fair to be good crop.

The Philosopher and tho Flea.

This is the tale OF the philosopher and the
flea:
/. The former, having been bitten by the
latter, seized and was about to dispatch his
foe, when he reflected that the little insect had
only acted from instinct, and was not to be
blamed. Accordingly he deposited the flea on
the back of passing dog.
g. This dog was the poodle Of q lady, and
she was very fond of the pretty animal. On
his return to the house his mistress took him
upon her lap TO caress him, and the flea EN-.
braced his opportunity to change his habitat.
g. The flea, having in the course of the
night engaged in active business operations,
awakened the lady Her husband was sleep.
ing peacefully beside her, and in the silence
of the chamber she heard HIM IN his dreams
whisper, with an accent Of ineffable tender
ness, q name! The name was that OF her most
intimate female friend!
4. As soon as 1t was day the outraged wife
hurried to the house OF her rival, and told the
rivals husband of the big, big discovery she
had made. He, being a man of decision, at
once called out the destroyer of his households
peace and ran him through.
5. The widow, when her husband was taken
home to her upon the medium of a shutter,
was 80 terribly smitten with remOrse that she
precipltated herself from the fourth story
window.
6. The other lady convinced her husband
that he had wronged her by entertaining any
suspicious as to her fidelity, and, becoming
reconciled with him, seized an early opportu.
nifty of poisoning him.
T. Inasmuch as the jurors of that country
had never heard of "extenuating circumstan-
ces," and the chief magistrate thought he could
put murderer to better uses than not guillo-
timing him, the guilty woman was duly decsp-
itated, and the sole survivors of the tragedy
were the philosopher and the flea.

Many coffee drinkers have undoubtedly been
disturbed by the widely-publshed theories OF
Mr.. Book, of Leipsic who pronounces coffee
and tea to be the chief causes of nervousness
and peevishness so common in our time. Up.
on this point, however, doctors disagree, and
we find DR.. Henry Segur arguing that the
effects of these beverages are far from inju-
rious. As remedial agent he believes coffee
10 be of great value, while Its use promotes d.
gestion, and otherwise exerts healthful inf1u.
ence upon the system. To confirm this belief
he points to the fact that habitual coffee drink.
ers are generally healthy and live to good
old age.

The story Is new, but it is not bad, that is
now going the rounds of the Partisan press, to
the following effect: A youth to fortune and

moment petrified then selzes his pen and

A CURE For BoI.s.-Arsenlc IN small dos
es Is one of the best agencies known for the
cure of many forms of skin diseases, and In the
British Medical Journal Mr.. j. Hutchinson,
senior surgeon of the London hospital, reports
wonderful cure of the plague of boils by
means of the same remedy. The patient was
covered from head to foot with boils and was
in a miserable state from pain. The mucous
membrane as well as the skin proper, was at

days without treatment in order that it might
be demonstrated that his condition was not
improving. Instead of improving it grew
worse. Then without changing diet, he was
given few drops of a tasteless solution of ar

all the boils had dried and there were no fresh

Two lovers were out for a morning walk in the leafy aisles of a New Jersey forest. The birds sang blithely upon the boughs, and early sunshine quaffed the dew from the grass and petals, and all nature seemed to rejoice like a bride on her wedding day. The maiden gath cred violets, arbutus and cow slips, while he gathered what he supposed to be a white kitten that had taken refuge in the stump of long-departed tree. Miserable fate! Strange catas- trophe! Unhappy man! Referr- ing to the incident afterward in a letter to a friend, the maiden wrote: eff George were boiled for thousand years in the hot springs of Iceland, I don't believe he'd ever smell sweet again"

The amount of ore in sight is estimated from measuring the cubic contents of a block of ground exposed by shafts and drifts. For example: A shaft is sunk 100 feet, and drifts run on the vein for like distance. If the vein is exposed on the sur face, so that samples can be talk en, the three sides of the block can be measured and assayed, and the quantity of ore cOmput- ed. It is usual to deduct one third of the total thus obtained for pinches and barren spots in the vein. Some engineers insist upoa an exposure of four sides, and then make an allowance for shrjnkage. 10 ascertain the weight of d cubic foot of ore or ruck, make wooden box exactly one foot square, line it with tin and graduate it with inches. Fill il with broken ore or rock and weigh il; then fil il with water, remove the rock, and note the number of inches of water. This will enable you to ascertain the weight of the solid foot of ore. For example: The weight of broken rock is 100 pounds; the amount of water $ three inches; you have therefore weighed only nine inches of a solid foot, and should add one-third of weight to correct tGtal, that is 1339 pounds.

 "Well, some lay it to this and some to that. but it's my opinion that what ails this town is the fact that a man will come here from New Yo,k and peck around and ask que-tiOn and want to know all about everything and everybody, and never ask a leading citizen if he is dry. | tell you such line of policy, if pursued for ten or fifteen years, takes the ambition right our of Y.

The colored voters are begin- ming to understand politics as well as, if not better, than most white voters. Their natural dis position to lie and steal, as crops out in the cases of Whitaker and Flipper, is of great advantage to them during political campaign. One of the candidates for an of- flee at the municipal election in Austin, not long since. relied on the fidelity of an old family serv- ant ,Sto help him out among the colored voters. The candidate was beaten. After the election he was told that the colored pOlit- ical friend had voted against him. Re did nos believe it; but meet Ing him one day, the ex-candi- date said:
 "pll give you a dollar, Jim, to tell me whom you voted for"
 ''I voted agin you, boss"
 "Well, here is the dollar for your candOr."
 Look heah, boss, eff yer am gwine ter pay for de candOr, l mout as well own up I voted agin yer free different times. Free dollars noah, if you please" -ieXas Siftings.

Married Flirts.

A jealous man with a pretty wife who will firt is in a very unenviahle condition. Of what use is it to forbid her to go to this or that place, or 10 speak to such and such young men. Eith- CT she will boldly refuse to obey him, or she will promise only to deceive. To watch her day and night is manifestly impossible. The husband must occasion ally go down town, and the moment his back is turned the wife is at liberty. He may hire a man to watch her in his ab- sence, but as the man who can be hired to watch wife is necessa- rily open to br tbery, he will cer- tainly be bribed by the wife or her friends. The Turk is enabled to calm his jealousy by keeping his wives locked up; but there is no American wife living who, if locked up in the third-story back room, could not cOntrive to es- cape within fifteen minutes after her husbands departure from the house. Among certain tribes of savages the husband breaks the Wife's nose, or in some other equally effective way, renders her no longer attractive to ypung men; but these Wretched hea h. ens have never heard of the pros verb concerning the IOlly of bit> Ing utf-Or otherwise dlshguriag -one'5 wife's nose in order to spite one's personal face. If some association of philanthropic busi- ness men were to fit up a safe- deposit office, where wives could be left whenever their husbands were absent fIOm home, jealous men could feel d reasonable cOuti- dence in the permanency of their domestic happiness; but the ex- pertinent is yet to be tried. Va rious crude and unsatisfactory
 schemes for the prevention of flirting on the part of married
 women have been tried from time 10 time. There Was d man iii Iowa who cut off his Wife's beautiful yellow hair, on the pre- text that It Was d Vain and un- christian adOruInent of her per- son, but really in order to prevent her from receiving visitors untIl the halr should grow again.
 This, however, seriously iLnpair- ed his Wife's value, and Was mel ely a modification of the saw age Ose-breaking process. An other man-a Chicago person. constantly spread abroad rumors that his wife was suffering from diph htheria or scarlet fever; but finding that there were young men who could not be thus terri fed, he finally contrived to have her inoculated with the small
 pox. For about a week he en- joyed the success of his ingenious
