has taken great pains TO improve his stock
Of sheep, and that he has made it success
is demonstrated by the fact that he has
lambs at four month Of age that weigh from
70 to 100 pounds, and bring from s. to s.,

A speclrncn Hanging.

Down in North Carolina they have just
hanged murderer, abrutal fellow who rid
died his victim with slug1. Before. the
last moment he made more than the usual
amount Of professions. He was Of 80
broken and contrite q heart that baptism
by spripkling would not eatisfy him. He
desired to be immersed in pond. But
the authorities were afraid the crowd
would shoot him down at his pious devo-
tions, and he had to give up the pond.
The day before the hanging the murder
er held state reception. Hundreds OF
people called to pay their respects, and to
these ''he gave circulars cotsining spiritual
advice" On the scatFold he spoke with
great eloquence," and went 80 lar as to &C.
knowledge his crime. Then be prayed for
three minutes-"the prayer being the most
remarkable ever heard in the State, elo-
Quent and fervent." Everybody was moved,
the sheriff to tears. For last words the
murderer left, ~ hope to meet you all in
heaven" The drop fell, and the sheriff,
looking on through his teats, exclaimed,
There died the bravest man l ever saw J"
There are many who believe that hang
ing contributes nothing to the prevention
Of murder. Nobody will doubt that such
a hanging as is here briefly described is
full OF harm. II the murderer can make
his peace with his God LEI. him do it, bat
don't let the prison officers herald him as q
saint already canonized before he leaves
the earth. There are men who would not
hesitate to murder II that would insure
them SO easy a road to fame and the best-
ings Of the life hereafter. The gallows
should be enveloped in discreet saving OF
words and maykish sentimentality.

no, you won't" ''Why nOt?r "Be-

Making "A Passenger "Git."

A Justice of the peace in the interior
of Michigan had a case before him some
days ago in which the defendant, who
had been arrested for suspicious char
acter, and pleaded guilty to vagrancy,
was sent to the Detroit House of Cor
rection for six months. A constable
took him in charge to deliver him there,
and as the idea of securing board and
lodging for SIX months, he was not hand
cuiied. As the train was about ready
to go the constable moved across the
aisle to talk politics with a friend, and
pretty soon they were having it hot
and heavy,
When the conductor came In for tick
cts he held his hand out to the prisoner,
and the latter shook his head and re-
piled:
81 d ont pay fare"
"Ahal You don't eli? Well, now, you
pay or gitl''
II won't payl"
"Then you'll git" When we slow up
at the crossing you Jump of. If 1 find
you on the train after we pass there I'll
give you bounce that you won't for
getr'
in two minutes the tram began to
slow and the prisoner walked to the
door picked soft spot and dropped
off.
When the train had made anothe
mile the conductor held out his hand to
the constable and received two tickets.
"Who is the extra one for?" he asked.
"For that prisoner over there"
why, that fel-l'
Then there was raving and gnashing
of teeth ard hurrying up and down,
but it was no use.
Sorry" said the conductor, as he
passed along" but when passenger
says he won't pay fair on my train
give him the drop. The only thing that
surprised me was to see how willingly
he obeved orders"

Confusion Caused by Ladies' Names.

Why it was done We cannot say, but
quite a number of the streets OF Austin
have been named after females. Such
names as Emma, Laura, Isabella stare
at YOU in large letters from almost every
corner. The Austin people. or some of
them at least, have become tolerably
familiar with Maria, Jane, Susan and
the rest. but strangers are liable to be-
come bewildered by this singular NOM
encIature,
A gentleman from Dallas, who had
only a few hours to spend In our city,
wished TO take a look at the new Capitol,
and not knowing where it was he made
inquiry of the first man he met.
'Can you tell me how l can find the
new temporary Capitol?"
:'That's easy enough. Are you famil-
lar with Emma street,"
81 am not. have no acquaintance
with any lady of that name. There is a
family by that name in Dallas, but L am
not acquainted with them Does
Emma Street live near the new Capt.
tol?''
The Austin,man stared at the stranger
for moment, and then, pointing down
Magnolia avenue, he SAID:
''You see where Maria comes into the
ayenue?"
The Dallas man looked N the direc-
ton pointed out, and perceiying fat
old negro woman with a big basket on
her ann nodded MS head III assent.
We'll. You must take Maria until you
get to the corner of Elizabeth, and un-
TIL Peggy and Sarah come together, and
then you will be all right"
"Look here. my friend, if you think
am that kind OF man because come
from Dallas you are most confoundedly
of. 1 want you to understand that L
am a gentleman.
You dog-gasted idiotl retorted the
the Austin man, 'if was as bad OH Tor
brains as you are would bore hole In
my empty skull and hire nigger
to pour in ten cents worth of cheap
oleomargarine."
The Dallas man shook his first at the
native, and said:
I've always heard that the State
Lunatic Asylum was too small to accom-
modate all the lunatIcs, but now / know
it." and he moved OF toward Esmeralda,
while the other party leaned up agalns,
the corner of Ann and Matllda and
glared after him as he disappeared IL
the direction of Martha.

Sic Didn't Like Sc f-coeking Rsvolvers.

1t was in the Carolina backwoods, a
country couple and country parson.
Though Baptist, the minister wore an
old surplIce. When he had finished the
ceremony, he SAID:
"An' them'uns who God hath oin-
ed
stop thar, parson." said the groom;
'sdo1't say them'uns, say these'unsr'
"John," said the parson, II tech you
at school, and say them'uns.
''Thsse'uns,' shouted the groom,
drawing his pistol.
The parson seeing the movement fired
through his surplice and the groom
dropped dead winging the parson as he
went down. There was lively fusilade
of perhaps thirty shots. When the
smoke cleared away half dozen mer
were on the floor. The bride, peeping
over the pulpit to which she had fled
for refuge, gaz d mournfuily on tie
scene and said:
Them self-cockin' pistols is play
in the deuce with my prospecksP'
OF course the story is an impossible
one, and yet, said Mr.. Smith: ''Tha
is the staple story of the south that Ii
circulated and believed throughout the
north. While such athing could hardly
have happened in North Carolina any
more than III New York. The average

AT an early hour every morning IN

Strange story About >a.nts. Anna.

Judge Major, Of Kentucky, relates
the following story Of Santa Anna, tine
Mexican Dictator: ''Did you ever hear,
he said, ''that he was a Kentucian?'
confessed that never had. well that
is believed by many old people about
Frankfort; have heard it from boy
hood. 1t is said that Santa Anna, af-
terward president OF the Mexican repub-
nc, was an IIlegItimate son Of the Nat
Sanders, of this country. While youth,
he went to New Orleans on q Hat boat.
and was never Sfuerward heard from.
When captured at San JacintO, in 1886,
he was brought through this place OIL
his way to Washington, and was recc e.
nized by the Sanders, who recog-
nized bim as their illegitimate and long
lost relative. He did not deny il. He
spoke English like a Kentuckian, and
with Kentucky accent. One of the San
ders had determined to kill him on ac-
count of the death OF a relative in the
massacre Of the Alamo, but abandoned
MS purpose when he was convinced
that they were blood relations. Tn,
mother of cyan E. Settle, of Owenton
was a Sanders, and he bears marked
resemblance to the pictures of SAINT,
Anna. Larkin E. Sanders, representa-
tive from Carroll county to the presen
general assembly, belongs to the family
as also did the noted George Sanders
who figured SO prominently in polite
during the administration of Pierce ant
! Buchanan"

Standard Time.

/. Is always of interest to know how
the world jogs by the clock and how the
clock swings by the sun. TIE primary
standard time-keeper of England is a
sidereal clock kept III the basement OF
the Royal Observatory, Greenwich
This clock is of the best construction,
and is, moreover, provided with the
m lst approved apparatus for conpensa-
tion and correction Experience has
shown that the best results are obtained
when the connection between the driv-
ing weight and the pendulum OF a clock
is as slight as possible. This has been
accomplished III the Greenwich clock by
the use of an escapement, the details OF
which are very intricate. The secondary
regul tor of the time of England Is the
mean solar standard clock at the ROYAL
Observatry, which was specially erected
IN 1852 for servicein the time signal sys-
TEN, of which 1t is now the most import
ant instrument. This clock has see
onds pendulum. which closes an electric
circuit as 1t swings to the right. An
electro-magnet III the circuit lifts a small
weight, which is discharged upon the
pendulum as it swings to the left and
gives it an impulse; this being repeated
at each vibration Is sufficient to keep it
III motion. The pendulum also closes
other galvanic circmis-one as it swings
TO the night, another as it swings to tine
left-which send currents alternately
positive and negative through electro
alternately attracting and re-
pelliDg bar-magnets fastened to an axis,
which thus receives a reciprocating
motion. An arm projecting from this
axis moves the seconds wheel one tooth
forward each second; proper geering
gives motion TO the minute and hour
wheels. The mean solar standard, be-
sides controlling other clocks, drives a
seconds relay, which controls a mean
time chronometer. Nearly all the mean
time clocks in the Royal Observatory are
driven by the standard CLOCK, they are,
in fact. simply dials whose hands are
moved in the same way aud by the same
battery as the hands of the standard
itself.
