THERE is boy in Putnam county,
Tenn, a son of Jefferson Lee, ten years
of age, who, owing to the peculiar nature
of his skin, has never been known to
sweat a drop of respiration in his life.
Another phenomenal feature connected
with the boy is that he has only four
teeth and he had these when born, hav-
ing neither cut nor shed any since his
birth. He is very much affected by the
seasons. In the summer he gets exceed
ingly warm and is compelled, in order to
live at all, to keep his head and body wet
with cold water and falls off to almost a
skeleton, but when winter comes and cold
weather sets in he is enabled to dispense
with his bath and grows fat. He is said
to be sprightly boy, with plenty Of
sense

THE legislative fight in the Seventh
district, Philadelphia, has caused a
great deal of feeling. Many things
which men have thought of one
another and concealed in their Utmost
Of hearts, have come to the surface
and left some very unpleasant refec-
tons. But we are unable to discover
Just wherein the colored voters are
benefited. The fight did not origi-
nate over a co'ored candidate, or did
it result 10 the nomination Of a col
ored candidate. And just why promi
nent colored men should put them
selves up for targets for the purpose
Of maintaining men of the opposite
race in Office, we cannot see. There
may be principle involved, bat it is
of more service TO the men interested
than to the people of the State, who
fail to see any appreciate difference
between the white man who holds
office and one who wants Office, unless
the one who wants it makes more
promises.

It Cannot BE.

The principle which Blaine and
Logan represent is SO far above that
of the Democracy that the man who
is careful of his interests and of the
welfare of this grand Republic, can
not, in a sane mood, do otherwise
than emphasize his discountenance of
the blatherskites and disunionists by
giving his support to the Republican
candidates. The history of the Dem
ocratic party as respects the negro,
especially, is such as is not well cal
culated to engender bis favorable
notice, much less to gain his support.
The records give line of policy
practised by the Democratic party
that has ever tended to keep him in a
servile and most abject position,
making him inferior to the veriest
brute. Now, that assistance is needed,
and the negro possesses a power to
be respected, he is courted and ad-
monished to give his suffrage to the
party that has been an enemy from
its inception. Can any colored man
consistently cast his ballot for Cleve-
land, and thereby assist in elevatlng
to the highe,t position in tae land, a
man who represents negro hatred
and every obstacle to retard our pro
gress? Can any man, white or black,
place in the hands of the Democratic
party, the servitor of England, the
least power that will prove deroga-
tory 10 himself and enhance the pros.
poets Of foreign power at his ex-
peDse? We do not think this of
sensible men. We hope that past
evidences of loyalty to the cause that
seeks to elevate and not degrade us,
that promotes a healthy growth in
our public affairs, and maintains a
credit In all things second to none,
will be more than realized in the
answer given on the 4th of November.

James Corey has applied for a divorce from
Malinda Corey, to whom he was married in Gin

failed to attend to her household duties, and
finally abandoned him, taking with her their
child, whose custody he now asks.

a divorce from her husband, whose name is
given as "Dutchy" Clark, and she also wants the
custody of their child, Birdie, an allowance for
the prosecution of the suit, and 81 500 damages.
She accuses her husband of failure to provide
and unlawful relations with woman.
Joanna B. Schwomeyer, No. 236 Douglass

band, Henry. They were married in 1879 and
she accuses him of failure to provide, cruel treat
ment and drunkenness. She wants $500 ali
mony, the custody of their child, and regular
allowance for its support.
Judge Taylcr yesterday granted Melissa
Baughman divorce from John b. Baughman, on
the grounds of abandonment and failure TO pro
vide, and Judge Howe dissolved the marital

SERIES but few scattering lectures from mem

members was Xenophon Sanders, cousin of
Mrs. Governor Wallace and Mrs. r. b. Duncan,
whose home was in Texas, as the writer remem

Legislature from Terre Haute or, at all events,
in the city, was arsether lecturer, whose first
night was so poorly attended that no attempt
made to deliver his address. In lS50-5l,
during the session of the constitutional
convention the society obtained free from lectures
from several of the members-Robert Dale
Owen, John B. Niles Professor Daniel Read, of
Bloomington. Mr.. Owen subsequently lectured
before the society in the basement Of Wesley
Chapel on Womans Rights This was near the
last days of the society. The last lecture it re
ceived was delivered by Horace Greeley, in the
fall Of 1858, on his return from Lafayette where
he had made the annual address to the Second
State Agricultural Fair John D. Defrees, of
the journal then, had written to him
asking him to lecture here as he
went on to Lafayette. He replied that he
had rented his door plate" to the State Board of
Agriculture, and couldn't let it be used by any
body else till that contract was discharged. On
his return his 'door-plate" was disengaged, of

1t now seems to be pretty definitely understood
that the Indiana Democrats will unite in urging
Mr. Mcdonald for the position of Attorney, gen
eral in the Cleveland Cabinet, for the reason
that it will quiet the dissatisfaction of his friends
over his treatment in the Chicago convention,
and he will be placed in position which will give
him opportunity to attain q supremacy
over his rivals-Hendricks and Voorhees,.
The murmurs of opposition to him
which were heard when his name was first pro
posed have been sileneed. With Hendricks as
Vice president, Mcdonald in the Cabinet, and
Voorhees, in tho Senate, the Hoosier Democracy
will present triune front of reconciliation It
is understood that Mr. Mcdonald desires to re

How Ants Bury Their Dead.

1t is the general habit among many species
ofants to bury the dead very carefully The
following interesting account is given by an
Australian observer:
81 saw large number of ants sur
rounding the dead ones, and determined to
watch their proceedings closely. -Four or
five started off from the rest toward a hlllock
short distance away, in which was an ants
nest. This they entered, and in about five
minutes they reappeared, followed by the
others. All fell into rank, walking regular
ly and slowly two by two until they arrived
at the spot where lay the soldier ants. In a
few minutes two of the ants advanced and
took up the dead body of one of their COM
rades then two others, and soon, until all
were ready to march. First walked two ants
bearing body, then two without q burden |;
then two Others with another dead ant, and
forty pairs, and the procession now moved
slowly onward, followed by an irregular body
of about 200 ants. Occasionally the laden
ants stopped, and, laying down the dead ant,
it was taken up by the two walking unbur-
dcned behind them, and thus by occasionally
relieving each other, they arrived at n sandy
spot near the sea. The body of ants now
commenced digging with their jaws num-
Der of holes in the ground, into each of which
dead ant was laid, when they were careful
Uncovered over. This did not quite finish the
remarkable circumstances attending the flu
neral of the ants. Some six or seven ofthe ants
had attempted to run off without perform
ing their share of the task of digging; those
were caught and brought back, when they
were at once attacked by the body of ants
and killed. A single grave was quickly dug,
and they were all dropped into it,"

What the Zero Mark Means.

Ninety-nine citizens out of one hundred
have had something to say about zero; per-
haps not one in one hundred could have told
off hand why point thirty degrees below
the freezing point on Fahrenheit's ther.
mometer is called zero. For that NATTER
nobody knows. The Fahrenheit scale was
introduced in 1920. Like other thermometric
scales it has two fixed points, the freezing
point or rather the boiling point of water
The Centigrade and Rcaumur scales call
the freezing point zero and measure there.
from in both directions. This is very
natural arrangement. Fahrenheit kept the
principle on which he graduated his the
momelers secret and no one has ever dis
covered it, II is supposed, however, that he
considered his zero-thirty-two degrees be-
low freezng-the point of absolute cold or
absence of all heat, either because, being
about the temperature of melting salt and
snow, it was the greatest degree of cold that
he could produce artificially or because it was
the lowest natural temperature of which he
could find any record. The grounds on which
Fahrenheit put one hundred and eighty de.
grees between the freezing and boiling points
are likewise unknown.

Safe Rules for the Journey of Life.

Never ridicule sacred things or what
others may esteem as such, however absurd
they may appear to you.
Never show lc iitv when people are engag-
oil in worship.
Never resent a supposed injury till you
know the views and motives of the author of
it, and on no occasion relate il.
Always take the part of an absent person,
who is censured in company, so far as the
truth and propriety will allow.
Never think worse of another on account
OF his differing from you on political and re-
igious subjects.
Do not dispute with man who is more
than seventy years of age, nor with woman,
nor with any sort of an enthusiast.
Do not affect to be witty, or to jest so as
to hurt the feelings of another.
Say as little as possible of yourself and
those who are near you.
Aim at cheerfulness without levity.
Never court the favor of the rich by fiat
tering their vanities or their riches.
Speak with calmness and deliberation on
all occasions, especially of circumstances
which tend TO irritate.
Frequently review your conduct and note
your feelings.
