A Grateful ana Heroic negro.


Eutaula (Ala) Times.
The circumstances of the most heroic
and romantic deed connected with the late
Everingham disaster was related to us
yesterday. After the boat had been banked
aud roster Of the crew was called, Assis =
tant Pilot Wipgate did not answer.
"Where is Wingate ?" some ono shouted.
"Asleep, in his BERTH" was the answer,
and by this time the supports Of the
upper deck were being eaten rapidly away,
and tho flames circlod round and round
over tho hurricane deck, licking the glass
of the state room doors, to disappsar now
and anon through tho black curls of dense
and sitting smoke, then agaia TO streak
the black sky like the livid pulse Of
destruction that it was, and then TO soar
away and vanish into tho obliyition of heat
TO scar the Invisible atoms of tho air. IL
was in tho midst of this panorama of
horror that black form was seen rushing
toward Wiugate's berth and impending
death. A surge, crash, aud the door
gave way, and Wingate and his rescuer,
through ways left free by Providence,
escaped In safety TO the shore. This negro,
on hearing that Pilot Wingate was in his
state room, banshed all fear of his own
safety To rescue him, which was done ia
return for tho saving Of his own life by
Wingate when the Wylly went to pieces
against the Fort Gaines bridge last April.
He was going under for tho third time
when Wingate snatched him from his

The people of TuckahOe, Dennisville
and the upper end OF Cape May county
have, for some time past, been startled at
the wonderful exploits with a rifle of a
mysterious Amazon named Jennie Moore,
who lives in an isolated cabin in the pines,
on the bay side, about four miles from
WOOdblEe station, on the West Jersey
railroad. The woman Is about 80 years
OF age, Of splendid physical development,
She IL married to man named
Jackson Moore, whose father lives
at Nneland, and who okes out sclnt
livelihood by chOppiug wood for the
MllIv!lIe glass factories. In November last
the couple settled in their cabin, which is
equipped in the true border style, half of 1t
being under ground. IL is stated that they
came from Texas The woman has q
pretty little daughter, IL years Of age, who
| can sing like nightingale. 1t is believed
that the woman Is a native of Brooklyn.
She says that for several years she travelled
with show under the stage name of Jenny
Franklin, giving exhibitions with her Iihe.
On several occasions t Amazon has as
tonjshed the natives of the towns in
the vicinity with her skill. Some Of
her feat are remarkable. She can light
a plrlor match with rifle ball and

ingly strange that u woman of her refine d
tastes, culture aud amazing skill with a
rife should bury herself in the wilds OF
Jersey and undergo the harlships of a
wood choppers life. 1t is common thing
for her TO take a tramp of miles through
the wilderness Of that country with her

of Dcnnisyllle, with few Of whom she is

CONSIDERING that the Philadelphia
Press had flfty.seven counties of the
state instructed for Blaine before the
delegates ever got to Harrisburg, 1t
wasn't surprising that that enterprislng
journals proprietorship modestly asked
for a delegate at-large, an elector at,
| large and two or three fundamental
changes Of the party rules, of which 1t
has made a speciality. Mr.. Wells, not
being on the ground, was saved from the

started but he is about all that was

stock Farming in Dakota.

Fargo Republican,: The success
winch has attended all who have gone
INTO the business of stock hreeding
ana raising proves that this is beyond
caVll or question good stock farming
country. The small farmer can do SO
on Il small scale, at small outlay of
capital, just us well as those who have
invested largely IN the business. If
a man has not his thousands to invest
let HIM put in what he can. If he is
a quarter section farmer he ought in
some way to get together a small
bunch of heifers and cows. Great
results have often been obtained
from very small beginnings. The
Republican calls to mind settler in
one of the counties in south Dakota,
who came into the territory six years
ago, with little OF no money capital.
lie drove i'll from Iowa four cows,
homesteaded claim and went to
work. That man has to-day a herd
of sixty head of fine cattle. He has
during that time devoted HIM
self also to the raising of
hogs and they have been a source
| of great profit to hlm. lie is now on
the high road to wealth and prosperi-
ty, the possessor OF Il good home, q
valuable farm, and the nucleus for a
| fortune in his live stock If he had
adopted the policy pursued by too
many and devoted all these years to
the raising Of The one crop wheat,
he would probably 10y this time have
been sold out by the sheriff to satisfy
his creditors. In stock and diversi
! tied farming lies the salvation of the
small farmers all over Dakota If
wise they will 90 into this kind Of
armlng as soon and as rapidly as pos
sible. The outlook for wheat is not
such as to encourage any one to look
for high prices. 1t would rather in.
dlcate still lower prices. This being
the case. it is time the resident farm
ers of this valley turn their >attentlon
to the raising of such grain~as can be
protitahly used for tattening hogs OF
feeding to horses and the rearing Of
stock. BY SO doing they can make
this the richest and gfandest agrlcul-
Itural section in the world. BY stick
ing to wheat they will bring poverty
and ruin upon themselves and those
dependent upon them.

An Unhung Wretch.

SAVANNAH, Mo, September 6. -Oliver
Bateman, in his confession as to the kill
ing Of the young Mclaughlin girls, said
he was at home when the girls went there.
He saw them &c into the woods to pick
hazlenuts, and followed them within if
teen minutes afterwards, They we're near
the edge of the cornfeld when he came up
Sith them. While talking with them he
saw Henry knappenberger pass. He
then induced the children to go farther
into the eornield, and while the eldest
was walking in front of him he shot her
with a twenty-five caliblre ball, and when
she turned around shot her with a thirty
two calibre ball, killing her instantly.
Then the smallest girl started to run,
when he followed and caught her. She
begged so hard for him to let her go that
he says he came very near allowing her to
do 50. He did let her go, but knowing
she would tell, he followed and caught her
again, threw her down and cut her throat.
1t was fifteen or twenty minutes
after Knappenberger passed be-
fore he shot the eldest
girl. After killing the youngest girl he
wen back to his first victim. outraged
her and then muti'ated her person o
create the impression it was the deed of a
crazy man. He relates that the eldest
girl said nothing after he shot her and
that he held his hand over the mouth of
the youngest to prevent her cries being
heard. He says after all these horrible
occurrences he went to the creek, washed
his hands, threw the. knife into the stream
and went home. When the father of the
girls came to his house inquiring for them
he wanted to go and help search for them,
but his relatives would not allow him as
they thought he was i'll. The iend de-
clares he was induced to confess, owing to
the circumstantial manner Henry KNAPP
penberger had accused him of the crime.

is great excitement at Benton over the
confirmation of an important gold dis
covery in the Little Rocky mountains,
one hundred miles northeast of that
place. When the discovery was first re-
ported, the citizens of Benton sent a COM
mittee consisting of P. Fl. Aspiring and
Dennis Halpin to investigate. They tele-
graphed to-day that the mines are good.
About one IN idred claims have been
taken up and those worked pay IS to Sll

pairing to join the stampede or have
already gone.

NAPLES, September 9.-King Hum
bert, after visiting the poorer portions of
the city to-day inspected Christaline Hos
pital. He declined to use disinfectants
while making the tour Of the wards in
the hospital The King was accompanied
by his brother, the Duke of Aosta. the
Minister OF the Interior and of Foreign
Affairs. The burial of the dead from
cholera was found very difficult owing to
the unusually large number so suddenly
needing interment. A soldier suffering
from a violent attack of cholera was taken
to the hospital and in his delirium threw
himself from a window.
During the last "a hours there have
been 800 fresh cases of cholera and 300
deaths in this city. The town presents a
gloomy aspect. Images of saints with
a~colytes bearing lighted tapers formed at
the head of a procession of women
through the streets, who invoked their
health of the Virgin. A large crowd as
sembled at the outside of the church of
San Gennaro, in consequence of the re-
port that the Virgin Mary had descended
upon the altar and bestowed her blessings
upon the people. The doors of the church
were closed and the crowd attempted to
break them open. Troops arriving, the
doors were opened and the multitude
rushed in, fell upon their knees and "a
gagged in fervent prayers.
King Humbert visited late in the day
Conchia hospital An immense crowd
extended the King an ovation as he pro-
ceeded through the streets. Bonfires
were lighted throughout the city and dis
infectants freely used.

French RabIs. Drinking Wine.

lEn Perkins In Chicago Iribune-l
Last year Paris consumed l07 ,420, o01 gal
Ions Of wine. This was about forty ssveI
gallons for each person, or over a pint a La
70 each man, woman and child. 1t Is u very
common thing to see French mothers feeding
win to the nursing babe. This Is why ba-
bies always look 50 sickly Ia France. In
fact, this drinking Of wine in place Of milk
and water has chan ged the looks Of tbs
French people. 1t is se.iom that you So a
rosy-cheeked girl, and rosy-cheeked, cherub
faced babies meyer. They all look sallow.
America has more beautiful women in Sa-
vannah, or Philadelphia, or Chicago, than
there are in all Europe.
asked Mr.. Morton, our minister, what
else the Parisians ate, and he said;
They drink annually 5000, 900 gallons OF
milk, or about two-thirds OF a gill daily to
zach person suppose New York consumes
1--WE times as much Paris consumes annu-
ally 5000, 900 pounds of cotton-seed and olive
oil, and l, sos, GEO pounds OF horse-fssh. The
Parisians consume annually 10000 0
pounds OF fresh meat, or about one-third OF a
pound daily TO each person. They consume
nearly a pound of bread a day to each per-
son. So you SEQ bread and wine is the chief
food OF the Parisinns."
What health, and strength, and beauty
would come TO the Parisians II they would
reason a little and change that pint OF wine
daily TO a pint of healthful milk A pint OF
win to a gill Of milk is hurting the French
nation.
