StahhAd With a Brick.

And then as our informant entered
upon exciting details, an old inhabitant
of the rocks-a sort of Kasper, as it
were-pointed out various interesting
mementoes of what bad proved a small
sized but veritable Thermopyle for those
New World Greeks and their rum-flushed
exterminators. Here in the rocky pass,
late on the eventful summer afternoon,
did the O'Shaughnessies and Connisses,
with their followers, hold their own
against the invading horde. The first
warning of the murderous design, as
had occurred in the history of ancient
Rome, was the clamoring of a great
flock of geese, driven on the rocks by
the stealthy approach of the hostile van
guard. Women and children shared in
the heroic defense. Frying pans, roll
ing pins, and scalding water proved as
eilicacious as fists, empty bottles, and
every variety of imprOvised shillalahs
under brawnier direction. The holders
of the pass improvised the only artillery
of the occasion. This was gigantic
young Peloponnesian rejoicing in the
name of O'Rafferty. Occupying rising
vantage ground well up the pass. he
ouCCCoolOh
fragments of rock and matted earth
over the heads of his compatriots and
through the Keeling masses of the swarm
ing assailants. Fired with whisky and
emulous of distinction, the latter held
the battle line with courageous persist
ence. But in less than an hour they
began to waver. An empty beer keg,
furiously projected from the human
howitzer, went crashing through their
ranks.
There is yet shown the spot where
their leader, McGinnis of the old
stock, went down, collared by the rim
of a frying pan, and still flourishing de-
family the fragment of his shattered
blackthorn. Stabbed with brick, an
O'Grady, his second in command and a
thunder-bolt of sunken-lot chivalry,
likewise rolled upon the plain. At this
juncture the defenders were electrified
by an announcement that the enemy's
Italian auxiliaries were attempting to
enter the stronghold by the main pass
on the southeast, and that his Teutonic
contingent was scaling the rock wall on
the western side. A detachment, how
ever, baffled these designs, while the
rout of the main attacking force was
completed by a furious sortie. When
the police arrived about dusk, victory
had been declared Individually for the
hardy defenders of the rocks.

Marriage In Norway.

As soon as young man and young
woman are engaged in Norway, no
matter in what rank Of life, betrothal
rings are exchanged. These rings are
worn ever afterwards by the men, as
well as by the women. The conse-
quence is that one can always tell a
married man, or, at least, an engaged
man, in Norway, in the same way as
one can tell married woman in Eng
land when she shows her hand. Gold
rings are used by the rich, but silver,
either solid or in filagree, by the poor.
There is no married man in Norway no
matter how humble he may Re, who
does not bear this outward mark of his
submission to the matrimonial bond.
But this is not all. AS soon as man
is "ngaged he has calling cards printed
with the name of his fiance Immediately
beneath his own.

Inc osenpao. a Chinese newspaper,

Alfred Townsend will forward his

He is the greatest artist alive, and
the one courted most by society, who
can carelessly drop lot of marking

"Phew, times are hard! Now, have

A printers towel fell out of third
story window in a New Jersey town, the

The crash was heard two blocks away,

tumble off the roof and explode his
head"

THE COTTON CROP.

According 10 the figures publish.
ed in Bradstreet and tho CONNER
cial aud Financial Chronicle, the
c,tton crop Of 1898 will be much
the largest ever produced in the
8 mth. II Is estimated al 100000
bales, which is more than 100000
bales larger than the crop Of last
year and half 4 million larger than
that Of lSs0-sl, the largest hitherto
recorded. This crop, although
more than Is per cent. larger than
that Of the preceding season, was
produced from n less acreage, the
area In cotton Ia 1882 being 49,
$4,000 acres, while that Of 1881
was i6.S7,0O. The estimate Of
the acreage Of 1883 IL i7,5O0,0O0
acrcs, the largest crop ever planted,
With favorable seasons the crop Of
this year will amount 10 eight
millions Of bales, and IL Is a very
serious question as 10 whether the
South Is not likely to produce more
cotton than can be consumed. The
remedy for this Is TO diversity our
productions aud raise more stock
and cereals, but u seems almost
impossible 10 convince our people
that this Is the true road 10 pros
psrity.
