THE Philadelphia Ledger puts it
this way: ''If you have to cross a
street where a wagon is rushing
along, it is better to cross behind
the wagon than in front of it. Plain
as this little piece of prudence is
there are lots of people who don't
practice it, and they get into trouble
thereby. 1t applies to great many
things besides crossing streets in a
reckless fashion-to wrong headed
contentious for example. Many
people rush into them rather blind
fashion, when it would be easier to
go behind them"

The Tobacco Rebate.
New York Tobacco Leaf.

The work of examining and pass
ing upon the claims for rebate under
the law reducing the tax on tobac-
co and granting a rebate of the tax
on unbroken packages, is pretty
well completed, and by the time
Congress convenes will be in such a
condition that the amount of money
required to meet these claims can
be definitely stated. The present
indications are that 1t will reach
about $3,7OO,G00. This is about
81 ,000,0 900 more than was calculated
would be required. The number OF
claims is about 10000, and the av-
erage amount, therefore, about 800
each.

A race riot occurred at Danville, Va, on
Saturday las t, in which two white men were
shot and five negroes killed. The beginning
of the conflict was the beating, by one of the
citizens, of negro who abused another
negro for apologizing for his apparent rude
ness, and spoke roughly about the citizen.
Some of both colors interfered, and a pistol
was knocked out of the hands of one white
man and exploded. Just then the report
reached the assembly of white citizens in
session about political matters, that con-
fiict was going on in the street, and they
came out in body. Both classes formed
in separate crowds, some of each crowd
armed. a number of negroes, approaching
the white crowd, called out, "Shoot damn
you, we had as soon settle this thing now as
any other time" Just then somebody in
the white crowd called out, "Fire ~ and the
firing began. The negroes returned the fire
and ran off, some firing as they ran. All
the stores were closed Immediately and the
alarm bell sounded, and people came out
with arms. The Town Sergeant came out
soon after with one military company and
commanded the people in the name of the
Commonwealth to disperse, and the streets

HOLDING A HORSE.

AWar Renaissance, IN Winch q DIStiH-
guIshed Ciarksvdhan Figured.
The Century Magazine for No
vember has very interesting arti-
Gle from Burton N. Harrison enti-
tied "The Capture of Jefferson
Davis" The writer relates many
amusing incidents which occurred
in the disorderly times following
the breaking up of the Richmond
government and the evacuation of
that city by the Confederates.
Among them is the following in
which reference is made to for
mer citizen of GAINESVILLE whose
memory is held in high esteem and
whose children and grandchildren
still reside here
The utmost vigilance was necessa-
nv, from this time on, in keeping
possession of a good horse. l re-
member that at Charlotte, some
days later, Colonel Burnett, senator
from Kentucky, told me he had
come very near losing his mare.
He had left her for little while at
large stable where there were
MANY other horses. Going back
after a short absence, Burnett no.
ticed a rakish. looking fellow walk
ing along the stalls, and carefully
observing the various horses until
he came to the mare, when, after a
moments consideration, he called
out to a negro rubbing down a
neighboring horse: "BOy, saddle
nv mare here and be quick about
it." The negro answered, faye,
ave, SIR" and was about to obey,
when the senator stepped up, say
ing: "My friend, you are evidently
a judge of horseflesh; and L feel
rather complimented that, after
looking through the whole lot, you
have selected my mare !" The
chap cooIly replied, "Oh! is that
YOUR mare, Colonel ?" and walked
off. When we had laughed over
the story, asked Burnett, "Well,
and where is she now?" "Oh,"
said he, 81 shan't trust her out OF
my sight again and Gus Henry Is
holding her for me down at the
corner until / can get back there"
The person thus familiarity address
ed as "Gus' Henry, then acting as
a hostler for his friend, was the
venerable and distinguished senator
from Tennessee, with all OF the
stateliness and much Of the elo-
quence of his kinsman, Patrick
Henry, the great orator Of Virginia.
