Doris Circus Attached.

The Ammericus Recorder, Of a
few days since, says Sheriff SW in
die, of Mitchell C unity, went from
Camilla to that place for the pur-
of attaching Doris circus. [ was
the winding up Of the trouble
which occurred on the circus train
between Thomasville and Albany,
when some twelve or fifteen lie
groes were thrown off the train bv
the white employees. One of the
negroes thrown off died from his
injuries, another is in the Mitch
ell county poor house and nine
others who were injured are being
cared for by the Mitchell and
Dougherty county authorities.
The negroes entered suit against
Doris for s24, 900 damages through
their attorney, COL G. 0. Davis.
An attachment was levied on the
circus property by Sheriff Swindle
Monday afternoon, and it began to
look as though the show would
quarter here for a time. Doris
claimed the right to point out
the property to be attached, and
wanted Swindle to take his ele-
phant and hyenas, which the sher-
If politely declined. The matter
was finally compromised by Doris
paying $500 damages.

Fort Gaines has an electric man,
although he may not be magnetic.
The Tribune says: We witnessed
one of the tricks of J. c..

brooms. He controls it by some
magnetic power, by which he is
able to make it stand alone and
move in any direction that he may
desire. 1t is wonderful thing to

Santa Rosa, (Cal., } Republican:
A redwood tree cut in this coun-
try furnished all the timber for
the Baptist church in Santa Rosa,
one of the largest church edifces
in the county. The interior Of the
building is finished in wood, there
being no plastered walls. Sixty
thousand shingles were made from
the tree after enough was taken
for the church. Another redwood
tree, near Murphy's mill in
this county, about ten years ago,
furnished shingles that required
the constant labor of two industri-
Gus men for two years before the
tree was used up ts

The Oglethrope Echo thinks
that "the plan merchants have fall
len into of paying even more than
the market quotations for cotton
when credited on accounts is an
insult to the seller, or should be
so considered" This leads the
the Macon Telegraph to remark:
Perhaps the Echo is right, perhaps
not. However, observation teaches
that the seller" always likes to be
insulted thas way. There are sew
eral modes of offering insult, but
the above. as general rule, has
neither been nor will be consider
ed the most direct.

public will have the IutIeot opportunity
10 enjoy her performances. Rlstorl
speaks our tongue thoroughly well, and
her repertoire Will give full scope fort the

The ACTRESS vao BON to n1rlnts Who
made Il precariou~ living rs stroiling
players. Friuli, i'll Venetian Lombardy,
was her birthplace. From her birth in
1921 to 1888, hen she .as ta..Te year5
old, Ristori lived with her parents.
During the latter part Of this period she
took part on the mimic stage. In 1888
she succeeded in making the impression
which lied to .ortune." She was four
teen at that time, and endowed with re-
markable beauty and grace, which en-
phasized the extraordinary ability she
manifested III the drama OF Francesca
da Rimini.n Within 4 te" years she
rose to the position Of the greatest Ital-
ian actress, one which She still holds.
When twent- six years Of age she was
married to the Marquis Capranica del
GriIlo, who, with th-ir two children, a
u. daughter oftwenty five, and q son, are
now with her in this country. A con-
siderable time elapsed before the family
Of the Marquis became rtconc.led to the
match, whicn proved 10 lie a happy one,
Notwithstanding TT Circumstances
under which it was made. After her
marriage EistOri continued in retire
ment about two years. IN 1910 she APP
peared in Rome, i'll A1tieri's tragedy Of
"Myrrha.n The season was interrupted
by the French siege Of that city, when
Ristori employed herself in nursing
wounded soldiers. 1t may be we'll to say
here, that in the terrible war between
France and Italy on one side and Aus
tria on the other, in 1859, she again
served humanity in the same way.
Ristori recommended acting in 1850, in
the city OF Rome. From hat date until
1866 she appeared frequently in Turin.
Rome and other cities. Her first APP
pearance in Paris was in 1856, when
Rachel was in the height OF her fame.
Ristori suffered nothing in the %inevita-
BILE comparison Of her powers with that
Of her rival. Eminent men Of letters
penned her praises, including Jules
Janin and Dumas. From Paris Ristori
started on an European tour which was
n continued triumph. Crowned
heads added to the unnumbered honors
bestowed on her. The Czarina Of Rus
STA presented her with a diploma as
Lady Of the Palace she was appointed
''private reader to the empress of Aus
tria, and the king of Prussia made her
q member of the order of Merit.
In 1866 Ristori made her first appear
ance in the United States. She acted in
twenty-eight cities, and made $1,000
by her tour. She came again in 1867,
and the third time in 1875. Her first
appearance this visit vas in Philadel-

FLAX Culture In the Northwest.

Numerous farmers in. the Missouri
slope have experimental i'll the culture
of flax with the most encouraging re-
suits. and before many years have past,
this will be one of the chief crops Of the
splendid diversified husbandry Of Da-
kota. In speaking of flax culture in the
northwest, the Brooklyn IN. ~ Union
says: The culture of flax is becoming
an important feature Of agriculture in
the northwest. 1t is only with re-
cent years that the mills for the manu-
facture OF linseed oil i'll this country
could secure the necessary raw material
except by importation, but last years
yield in the United States aggregated
about 1000, 900 bushels, and the total
this year promises to reach from $780,
600 to 5000, 900 bushels, fully one half of
which is raised in Minnesota and Da-
kota. The plant produces on b eaverage
as many bushels to the acre as wheat,
and..as the price range from 81 toS1. Is per
bushel, the crop is a decidedly profit
able one. AS an element in that di-
versification Of agriculture which is
SO desirable, the growing attention that
is paid to flax culture is a healthy sign.

A Thorn in Teller's Flesh.

WASHINGTON, November 15.-Secre-
tary Teller has had Father Stephan's
complaint against the exhibition Of Set
ting Bull pigeonholed. The secretary
says he wishes he had never heard Of
the old Sioux. 1t is more trouble to run
Tetonka Hotonka, he says, than to adj
minister the whole interior department.
Col. Allen has unlimited and most cor
dial permission to show Sitting Bull
anywhere, any time and how he pleases.
He thinks it will do him no physical or
moral harm to be taken about the coun-
try and exhibited, and Col. Allen might
as well do it al Father Stephan.
