STEPHENS AND CONE.
The Terrible Fight Between them
In Atlanta in 1S4S.

When the hate Alexander ii.
Stephens returned to Georgia from
Washington in 1913, where he had
opposed the admission of fCalitornia
aud New Mexico, he heard that
Judge Cone, of Georgia, had called
him a traitor to the South, and he
told the latter ii it were true, which
the Judge had denied, he would
Z" slap his flce.n Aflerward, mis-
understanding arose between them
on tho same subject through the,
miscarriage OF IA letter aud also IA
feeling on the pant Of the Judge
aud his friends that he had been
bullied aud the gentlemen met at
an Atlanta hotel and fought. Coue'
demanded a retractiou of his threat,
which was not made. "Then,n said
Cone, who was powerfully built
man, /" Il denounce you a as misera-
BILE little traitor n The last words
had hardly LETT his lips When
Stephens bit him with his cane.
Wild with pain aud passion, without
uttering word, Coue drew n keen
pointed dirk.knife aud made one
furious thrust ut his weak little ad.
versary. lnstontly rs he did so,
however, Stephens, seizing stout
umbrella which he held in his left
hand, interposed it as n defeuSc and
was able for u moment to hold him
at arms length. Once more it was
thrust at Stephens, cutting deep
gash in his arm eighteen times it
cut deep into his breast, arms aud
body, but still he dill not fall.
Then he could bold out no longer.
No courage, no spirit, however firm
aud uuyielding, could long with
stand such an attack. Coue was
determined to flush his work. He
threw all his great weight against
the umbrella, which broke /;
Stephens, half fainting, fell upou
his back. The giant CONC was AZ
his throat ia u moment; his head,
by a grip of iron was held against
the cruel floor: Retract, or I'll
cut your cursed throat y hissed
Cone. "Cut I'll never retract Y
gasped the almost liteless Stephens.
The kniio came down. With an al.
most superhuman effort the pros
tgatc man caught it in his right
hand. Clean through the muscles,
,eh,lons and hnnes OF the hand il
cut, then stuck fast aud reached no
vital part. With desperate
strength Cone tried to wrench il
free. In the struggle Stephens was
once more dragged to his feet. The
blood was rushing in streams from
his many wounds. AT tins moment
others came to his relief aud saved
his lite. The wounds which Mr.
Stephens received were examined
1t was found that one of them had
penetrated to within sixteenth OF
an inch OF his heart. An intercostal
artery had been cut. When he re
covered he refused to prosecute
Conc, and that person, instead ol
getting his deserts in the State
prison, was fined $1,000, aud, with
his honor vindicated,' was allow
ed to 90 free. To the day of his
death Mr.. Stephens spoke of him in
terms of consideration and forgive

great hole in his mangled hand
lie said: "Poor Gone! I'm sur,
he'd be sorry ii he knew what

have ever had in the State, for ten cents
per pound. Mr.. Sperry, as well as every
one there, was ss courteous to us as if we
had been guests at the hotel. TIE air at
the "Trees" is delightfully."- invigorating,
the water cold, soft and clear as crystal.
There are many points of interest, among
which are
THE SAN ANTOINE FALLS,
One hundred and fifty feet high, on the
San Antoine creek. At "Gardner's" are
found the Big Meadows and the north fork
OF the Stanislaus river, which affords
scenery wild enough for any one. We
spent one day there, going through the i'm.
mense pine forests four miles, till we
reached the river. Part of the way the
trail WAS so narrow that one false step
would have rolled horse and rider down
the steep declivity. We tried fishing, but
the fish were wary and would not bite, SO
we admired the works of Nature, gathered
some lovely ferns and then wended our
way back to camp, where three of our
party had staid to rest. The hotel at Big
Trees is large and commodious, and better
camping ground one could not wish, and
taken altogether it forms one of the best
and most restful summer resorts in the
State. We left there on the afternoon of
the 10th, had a rapid and pleasant ride
down the grade to Murphy's, where we
rested two more days, then took up our
march toward home. S. J. F.

PRINTING IN CBISA.

In an interesting article on printing in
China, the North China Herald says that
| the first great promoter of the art of print
ing was Feng Ying, who in 932 A. D. ad-
vised the Emperor to have the Confucian
classics printed with wooden blocks en-
grsved for the purpose. The first books
were printed IN regular manner, and in
pursuance of decree in 953. The mari
ner's compass and rockets were invented
about the same time, showing that at this
period mems minds were much stirred to-
ward invention. Twenty years after the
edict the blocks of the classics were pro.
nounoed ready, and were placed on sale.
Large e-sizsd editions, which were tbs only
ones printed at first, were soon succeeded by
pocket editions. The works printed under
the Lung Emperors at Hangchow were cell
ebrated for their beauty those of western
China came next, and those Of Fokhein
lGst. Movable types of copper and lead
were tried about toe same time, but it was
thought mistakes were moro numerous
with them. and therefore the fixed blocks
were prepared. Paper made from cotton
was tried, hut it was found so expensive
that the bambOo-made paper held its
ground. In the Sung dynasty, the method
was also tried of engraving on soft clay,
and afterWard hardening it by baking. The
separate characters were not thicker than
ordinary copper coins Each of them was
in fact seal. An iron plate was prepared
with a facing of turpentine, wax and the
ashes of burnt paper. Over this was
placed an iron frame, in which the clay
types were set up until it was full. The
whole was then sufficiently heated to melt
the wax facing. An iron plate was placed
above the types, making them perfectly
level, the wax being just soft enough to
allow it to sink into II to the proper depth.
This being done, it would be pos
sible to priVt several hundred or thousand
copies with great rapidity. Two forms
prepared in this way were ready for the
pressman's use, so that when he had done
with one he would proceed with another
without delay. Here is undoubtedly the
principle of the printing press Of Europe,
although western printers can dispense
with soft wax bed for types, and can OBJ
tain q level surface without this device.
Perhaps the nsed of capital to lay in
stock of types, the want of a good type
mssli easily cut and sufficiently hard. and
the superior beauty of the Chinese charac-
ters when carved in wood, have prevented
tne wide employment of the movable types
" hich are SO convenient for all al phabetical
writing. The inventor of this mode of
printing in movable types, five centuries
before they were invented in Europe, was
named PI Sheng. n ature,

LOOKING IN LIPs'S MIRROR.

As sat musing alone one day,
Something within me seemed to say:
Whence have We come and where are we boun
And why must we each make up the round
OF living, dying, age by age;
Give way for others to take the stage
OF busy life, with all its care
Its guided castles built in the air;
Its hopes, its fears, its empty shew;
Its joys, its pleasures, its bitter woe
But thus it is, and we swiftly glide
Down the stream 10 the e6bing tide
That bears us on TO the bOuudless sea
OF the great unknown eternity
What, then, is Life, and what is Death p
The question almost stops my breath,
So deep, so piercing is the thought
And yet the multitude heed it not,
But nadly rush from youth to age,
While nothing higher their thoughts engage
Than what shall we eat and drink, where 90
To find some amusement and forget lifes woe
They seek to please but the outer man,
Follow the fashio g. get all they can;
Gain large fortune, drive sharp trade,
Forgetting how soon this life will fade.
Life for 4 noblCr end was given,
Twas to teach us here the paths to heaven:
Reason was placed upon her throne
To tell US We are not our own;
Gods law was wri; ten not to enslaYe
The human mind, but pave the way
For us TO learn that true liberty
Which is only ours when from sin set free.
The law is pure aud just and true:
It's d unto others as you'd have them do;
Lean well your passions 10 control,
Su5due the flesh and expand the soul.
Be not discouraged, then sons of toll;
What il the thief gets away with the spoil;
What If the mlser hugs his gold?
True JOY TO the heart it cannot unfold
The bonanza kings may strut through the world,
Their banners Of purple to the breeze unfurled;
And dudes may huzZa and caps toss in air,
AT even the name OF Mackay or Fair.
b 1t what will earth's honor and pomp avail
When the anchor drops and We furl the sail
When the voyage ends and we stand before
The great white throne on the evergreen shore
Be just, then, and true whoever you are,
Let Faith, Hope and Love be your guiding star,
Until in the future He himself shall explain
The mysteries Of Life, who made nothing in vain.
