His Dead Baby's Shoes.

"No, | wont drink with you to-
dav, boys" said Il drummer to sew
eral companions, as they settled
down in the smoking car and pass
ed the bottle. "The fact is, boys,
1 have quit drinking-I've sworn
off," He was greeted with shouts
of laughter by the jolly crowd;
they put the bottle under his nose
and INDUCED in many jokes at his
expense, but he refused to drink,
and was rather serious about it.
"What's the matter with you, old
boy?" sang out one. off you've
quit drinking, something's up; tell

Joe Mulhattan Again.

\ remarkable and thrilling Incl
dent of Tuesdays storm WAS rcla-
ted to the reporter by a party who
was travelling on a train on the
Chester and Lenoir Narrow Gauge
railroad at the time the incident
occurred. The train had passed
Lowerysville and was speeding in
the direction of Lincolnton, when
all on board were startled by a
roaring sound that could be dis
tinctly heard above the noise of the
train. On glancing back they saw an
immense whirlwind tearing along
the track, following directly behind
the train at a rapid rate. The en-
gincer was among the first to see it ,
and realizing what the consequent
ccs would be should the whirlwind
ovcrtake the train; he pulled the
throttle wide open, and an exciting
race began. The whirlwind was not
more than 800 yards behind the
train, and the anxious passengers
soon became aware of the painful
fact that it was gradually gaining
upon them. There were several
ladies in the car and they cried and
carried on at a terrible rate, while
the men danced about the car il
their excitement, vainly yelling al
the engineer to put on more steam
The race was kept up in this way
for two miles, when the train
turned a curve in the road. AS the
whirlwind struck the curve it lef
the railroad track, speeding its way
straight on through the fields. a.
the time it left the track it was not
more than 800 yards behind tho
train. 1t was Il thrilling race, anC
all the passengers blessed thai
curve from The bottom of theil
arts.-Charlotte(N C. observer

WHERE THEY BELONG.

The following special to the
Times emocrat may prove inter-
esting to the active politicians in
both factions of the Democratic
party in this and other parishes
where there were factions:
BATON RoUGE, April 27.-Last
night being the first night spent by
Governor McEnery in the capital
city since his reelection, about 200
citizens, leading Democrats, formed
in line at the e-House, headed
by the Silver Cornet Band, and
marched to the residence of his
Excellency and gave him a most
complimentary ovation. Amid a
hastily prepared pyrotechnic dis
play, sweet strains of martial mu-
sic, and the cheers and shouts of
the multitude, the Governor pre-
scented himself, and, order being
restored, made a most appropriate
speech, which was received with
the widest enthusiasm.
After having expressed his APP
probation of the unexpected dem
onstration, u reviewed the politi-
cal situation Since 1876, and showed
with what consideration Baton
Rouge had always been treated by
the Democratic party. He pictured
the scene before the restoration of
the capital and the present era of
prosperity and advancement to be
seen in every quarter of this city,
and said that with all this, his
heart was grieved to know that the
capital of the State should have
| led the Radical forces in the recent
contest.
The hope of his life since his res
idence here had been to build up
and beautify this city, to make it
the home of every State institution
that should be established, and to
so firmly root those already here
as to forever set at rest the ques-
ton of their removal. He loved
this little city. He recognized in
the recent contest for Democratic
supremacy those who stood among
the leaders in 1876, and felt that
the overwhelming defeat was
through.n no fault OF theirs. While

A Business Session.

Northern newspapers have ever
been fond of ridiculing Arkansaw
Legislatures. This is wrong, for
the most busincss-likc session of a
General Assembly ever held in the
Union was an Arkansaw Lcgisla-
ture. During this session many
men distinguished themselves.
Some of them have since gone TO
Congress, and one or two of them
have died. One day, in this cspe-
cial Legislature, there came up a
bill in encouragement of railroad
construction. The member from
Stoncwall county arose and said:
81 am opposed to railroads, Mr..
Speaker. Cast them eyes o yourn
over this land an see the onc-leg-
gcd men. What is the cause o all
this one-lcdggedncss, Mr.. Speaker?
War, some uniformed men say,
but no, sir, it is not war. 1t is
railroads. Statistics show that
seven-tcnths of onc-lcggcdme are
caused by railroads. This being
the case. l am opposed to them.
Do we wish TO fill up our country
with .one-lcggcd men? No sir, an
therefore | wish to enter my pro-
test against the passage of this rail-
road BILL"
The member from Gray county
arose in reply. "Mr. Speaker, "
said he, "thc member from Stone
wall county is inhuman in his de-
nunciation of one-leggcd men. One
legged men are good citizens. Who
ever heard of 4 mob of one-legged
men breakin' open a Jail and hang
in a Teller? Nobody. Our best
people, | tell you, belong to that
class, an / am in favor o 'cm
Give us railroads an one-legged
men. / understand my friends
opposition to onc-leggcd men, for
Mr.. Speaker, he is shoemaker an
knows that man with one leg only
needs just half the amount O
work"
When the applause died away
the member from Stonewall coun
ty arose and said:
Il acknowledge that am shoe
maker, am if you was one, Mr.
Speaker"

Thackeray's Wife.

The best years of Thackray's life
were given to the affectionate care
of his insane wife. Her disease
was not of a violent type except at
intervals, but she required con-
slant oversight and attendance. To
secure this Thackeray-bought a
house in the country near London
in which the invalid was surround
ed with every comfort that love
and sympathy could devise. As
she still craved his presence and
seemed unhappy when he was out
of sight Thackeray made frequent
visits to her in her retirement.
These were the hours which his
enemies declared were spent in the
midst of all kinds of follics and ex-
cesses. They were devoted, in
stead, to soothing the invalid re-
pinings and quoting the unreason-
able suspicious of a wife dearly be-
loved but hopelessly insane. In
one of his unpublished letters he
relates without complaint, but in a
strain of heart broken resignation,
that sometimes his wife could only
be appeased in her insane moments
by being permitted to beat him
with her naked fists. This he en-
dured, shut up with her for hours,
or until the violence of her pas
sions has passed, when he would
emerge from her rooms looking
like one "who has died once and
comes unwillingly back again to a
hateful existence. Figaro.

Half-Breed Cattle.

Drovers Journal: The warden Of the
Manitoba penitcntiary, at Stoney, Montana
near Winnepeg, has fine herd of hybrid
cattle, crossed between the male buffalo
and the domestic COW. They are very
tame. taking no more notice of human be-
ing than ordinary cattle do. They are very
hardy, and seem cminently adapted to
ranging our plains. They readily mate
and nature seems to provide their offspring
with constitution adapted to all climatic
changes of the northwest. They are not
housed during the winter; find their food
under the snow and thrive where our cat
tie would starve. The beef is excellent,
and yarn has been spun from their hair
They do not show a disposition to stray
away, and altogether it would seem as if
might he to the interest of scientists to
study this question of infusion of the buf-
falo blood into our herds.

to say that the chief incubator is Secre-
tary Teller of the Interior, who is giving
his countenance to the scheme In return
for aid in Colorado to his ambitious pro-
ject of becoming a United States senator.
Already number of Crow chiefs have
signed the lease in consideration Of money
paid or promised them. Squaw men and
others having influence with the tribe are
receiving liberal sums of money, and
many persons have been won over To-
assist the scheme, The game should be

Of it for long term to stockgrowers
would be Z serious blow to the territory. j

Ancient Pottery.

Billings Post: A. NJ. Quivy showed us,
this week, some prices Of ancient pottery,
which he recently found ON the Saltwater,
near the foot of the mountains. Their
material consists of fine sand and gravel
on the inside, the outside being coated
with species of fire-clay. found in connec-
tion with limestone, in that section of the
country. They are evidently portions of
vessels used to contain water or other liquid.
They exhibit fair degree Of skill in their
manufacture, and are evidently the handi-
work of some prehistoric race. who inhab-
tied this country before the advent of the
present race Of Indians. None of the
Crows, or other tribes of Indians in this lati-
tude possesses the art of making pottery.
and Mr.. Quivy informs US that the fragrants
in question are the first traces of ancient
pottery that have been found in northern
latitude, on the eastern slope of the Rock
les. The Crows have a vague tradition of
a superior race that inhabited this country
ages ago, and possessed many of the arts of
the white man, and leading archaologists
lave arrived at similar conc lusion. The
place where this pottery was found was
'ocky promontory, accessible from one
'ide only, and had evidently been used as
| stronghold by this remote race.
