Ills Dead Child.

The other day New Orleans man
had occasion to 90 over the lake. On
his way back, and when the train stop
ped at the bay, he noticed a man get
ting into the car in front of him with a
little baby in his arms. After the train
had got under way the conductor came
and said: "Come with me; l want to
show YOU the saddle t, strangest sight
you ever saw" and he led the way into
the next car. There sat the man whom
he had noticed with the babe; his
precious little bundle lay quiet on the
seat in front of him, and as these other
two men watched he leaned over and
looked long and earnestly in the little
face, and then kissed the frail finger
tins he held so gently in his hand
''That baby's dead" said the conduc-
tor. at lied this morning at the bay.
He couldn't bear to put it in q coffin,
because then it would have to go with
cut him in the baggage-car, and so he
is just carrying it home to New Orleans
in his arms" Stricken to the hearts
core he sat there quiet and unheeding,
watching over his dead child, kissing
the fingers that would never again soft
ly clasp his, looking down upon the
white lids that had closed over the
bright eyes as the petals of sensitive
flower close at night time over its deli
cate heart, and the world was nothing
to him. o. Times Democrat.

"A MiIledgeville (Tenn.) merchant
suspected one of his clerks of pilfering
from the cash drawer. In order to
make sure of it he marked number of
coin pieces and posted other merchants
where young Adams dealt to watch for
them. His suspieions were fully con-
firmed, and he determined to dismiss
the thief and say nothing about it. One
morning he was surprised to receive a
challenge from Adams to fight a duel
The second explained that his principal
had discovered marked coins in the
drawer, which he considered refec-
ton on his character. The merchant
replied that he had found similar
marked coins in sundry places where
they reflected much stronger on his
character. The affair was settled with
out bloodshed. o. Times.

A New Method Of Watermelon Culture.

A gentleman residing near this place
raised most tremendous crop of water
melons after the following method:
Holes were dug ten feet apart each way
eighteen inches square and fifteen
inches deep. These holes were filed
with well-rotted manure, which was
thoroughly incorporated with the soil.
A low, HAT hill was then made, and seed
planted. When the vines were large
enough to begin to run the whole sur
face was covered to the depth of a foot
or fifteen inches with wheat straw. The
straw was placed close up around the
vine. No cultivation whatever was
given afterward. No weeds or grass
grew. The vines spread over the straw.
and the melon matured clean and nice.
The yield was abundant, and the expert.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Feb. 1l.-An ex.
ceedingly active revival has been In pro .
gress here for about Eve weeks. Rev. DR..
Munhall, of Indianapolis, is conducting 1t.
He is one of the muscular, spread.eagle,
np-and coming kind of preachers, who
says he could lift 1000 pounds. How
many sinners have been drawn into the
fold is not reported, but 1850 would
not be an exaggerated estimate.

man, and would in future recognize
but two masters. He would 'serve
Jesus Christ and the Democratic party. h"
The church people pay Rev. Munhall $75 a
week, and board him, his wife and child,
at one OF the best hotels. He costs them
$l25 week at the least. The meeting for
five weeks will cost not less than 81 100, as
they have had the opera house at $50 q night
for ten nights. The unregenerate morning
papers In St. Joe have rather sat down on
the meetings and show disposition to bur-
lesque. A week ago at the Teachers
meeting resolution was introduced that
DR.. Munhall be invited to visit the public
schools. The resolution was voted down.
Mr.. Munhall jumped up and said he would

meeting was held, and resolutions intro.
duced denounoing his conduct without a
precedent. The matter created wild con-
fusion In the board, but was shelved by
reference to committee.
