The colored sisterhood of Pensacola,
as elsewhere, seem to be the most earnest
whippers-in of the "late Republican
party" but next election they will ha>e
so much to do that they will probably
not begin it. We have the following in
the Pensde0lian of the 18th:
One night last week, Dorsey Landrum, colored,
was set upon by the sisters of the congregation
to which he belongs, just as he was about to
enter the church, and given an unmerciful beat
ing for having voted the Democratic ticket. 1t
has been alleged that but for the interference of
some of the sterner SEX the ladies would have
drubbed the poor Democrat to death.

Train Pirates in Kansas City.

The Kansas City Journal says: The cannon ball left the Union Depot on time and was whistled at the Bridge Depot by 8 switchman whose name could not be learned. When the train slacked up in the cut Engineer O'Brien saw that the switch was not right and signalled Conductor Langhorn to that effect. Before his signal could be an- swered, however, the train had gone on the track reserved to the Hannibal and St. Joe and block was placed under the wheels of the sleeper as soon as room had been made to allow another train to pass. This gave the impression that the train had pulled out to allow a freight to rass, and by this means the gang which had the object of robbery were enabled to accomplish their purpose. When 0 full stop had been made some fifteen men sprang on board and one of them, with the usual call of ''Change cars," caused the passengers to leave the train, and as the bewildered travel CTS passed out one by one each WAS ''held up" while their money and valu- ables were taken. How much the actu- al loss is could not be learned, but from reliable sources it is estimated that the robbery could not have been less than $5, 900 and may have been much heav- fer. The express car and baggage were not molested, and the employees there only knew of the trouble by hearing the noise of shots and the exclamations of passengers as they were robbed.

The Judge and the Conductor. |.

A young lawyer once quite forgot himself in some curt expressions to the court, but the judge was a sensible man, md in consideration of the immaturity of the member of the Bar treated the matter rather gently. He made it clear, however, that the style had better not be used agcin, and remarked, signif- cantly: "This court is naturally quick tempered" A remark, by the way, not inapplicable to the late Chief-Justice Bigelow, who on one occasion was brought to his bearings in a way as effective as it was amusing. He was riding in a car which did not stop at Quincy, where he resid=d, and, as it was passing by, he pulled the rope and the train was brought to a sudden stop. The conductor rushed into the car and demanded:
 "Who rung that bel. ?"
 "I dd," said the Chief Justice.
 "Why?"
 Because I want to get off." AL WulCn Iu6 EdliEOdu OIuCldl luQulgeQ in some remarks which were not com plimentary and hardly respectful. The judge afterward complained to the pres- ident of the road, who promised to lcok into the matter. But he found that, al- though the conductor might have used hot language, the Chief Justice was not without fault, and said nothing about it. When they next met, by chance, the latter demanded of the president whether he had reprimanded the con. ductor.
 'I spoke to him, " was the reply.
 "Well. what did he say?"
 "He said that he was coming up some day to adjourn your court

It Could Not be.

The London Truth says: Several of the papers state that the late Duke of Brunswick languished all his life under a hopeless passion for Queen Victoria This is rubbish. The Duke entertained a very strong opinion in 1888 that he was the proper person to marry the Queen, and he was very wroth at being passed over, as he considered himself to be superior in rank to Prince Albert, and, moreover, he enjoyed a large for tune, while the selected Prince possessed nothing whatever. The Duke mani fested his resentment in various ways, and repelled the numerous and earnest attempts made by the English roy al family to conciliate him, as, although the Queen would never have dreamed of marrying him, yet she naturally would have had no objection to find his fortune bequeathed to her family"

Top Dressing Grass Lands.

The fall is the best season for top. dressing grass lands and putting them in good shape for the spring. When meadows have been pastured the drop- pings should be broken up and spread, and all the nnconsIImed punches of herbage should be moved off level. It might perhaps be resented as too trite and unnecessary an admonition that grass should not be pastured down too closely just now. but it is enc of those points upon which Cline upon line and precept upon precept" is entirely appli- cable. For even knowing the unpro6t- ableness of feeding the herbage which is hard, innutritive, and indigestible, and the injury of leaving the sod bare and unprotected, farmers as a rule neglect the plainest and simplest wisdom in this respect, and leave their cattle out on the meadows until the herbage is worn down to the roots. A common objection made to leaving an aftermath upon meadows is that the rank 'tfog"or dead grass is an obstacle to moving the next season. This is wholly agratuitous alarm, and ii one needs proof he is referred to the wild growths of the prairies and meadows, which thrive exceedingly well in spite of if.

AN EPISODE ON FIFTH AVENUE.
A Gorgeous EQuipRRe, Q Stntuesaue Tiger
 and a Fair Driver.

An equipage whirled around the cor ner of Thirty ninth street, New York, says local paper, about Il o'clock and dashed up Fifth avenue with chatter and rumble that attracted the eyes of the spectators and brought O crowd of well-fed looking faces to the Union League Clubs windows. There was a team of blooded horses harnessed to an English vehicle that looked something like a mail phseton. The horses were perfectly matched, beautifully built and mettlesome and fiery. Their necks were arched, and as they threw their heads in the air the heavy chains that ran from the pole to their collars rattled musical ly. The harness was gold plated, and the collars and reins were as white as snow. The phaeton had small wheels with many spokes and was bottle green in color. In the rumble behind sat tiger in top boots and tight Hitting coat. His arms were folded and he held his nose high in the air. He seemed to be a part of the vehicle. Directly in front of him and on one side of the seat was beautiful Sec tch collie with silken ears and delicate paws. His nose was held in the air, too, and he seemed like a statue, except for the softness of his coat.
 Beside him sat the driver. The toes of her tiny boots were pressed close to- gether on the foot rest at the foot of the dashboard, and she sat on her raised seat with an erectness that even the groom might have envied. It may be said that her finely chiselled nose was also held in the air. Sue was clad in an English jacket that fitted her superb form perfectly, and she kept her big eyes straight before her between the heads of her blooded horses. On her hands were gloves with gauntlets that came above the elbow with @ crest worked upon the back of either hand. She held the reins we'll down and bal anced long whip across them as the horses bounded along.
 As the team dashed across Fortieth street two girls, who were walking down Fifth avenue, saw the fair driver and one of them waved her parasol and stepped to the curb. The lady in the phaeton turned her horses toward the curb and drew them up with an abrupt ness that sent their heads four feet high in the air. The tiger slid from bis place and stood at the horses heads and the driver exchanged few words with the pedestrians. Then they all smiled and nodded, the driver touched the horses with the whip and the tiger sprang aside as they dashed up Fifth avenue. He jumped for the rumble, caught it by the merest chance, resumed his statuesque pose and folded his arms serenely. His mistress never looked around to see if he was there, and the nose of the dog was still high in the air.

The Greatest Colonel.

The Prince of Wales is the greatest colonel. according to the London World, in numerical sense, the world has ever known.

He is colonel in chief of all the three regiments of Household Cavalry and colonel of the Tenth Hus- sars. In the Indian army he is honorary colonel of the Sixth and Eleventh Bengal Cavalry, the Second Bengal h. fantry, the Second Goorkhas, the Guide Corps, the Fourth Madras Cavalry, the Madras Sappers and Miners, the Third Bombay Cavalry and the Second Bom- bay Native Infantry.

Trouble Ahead.

The New York Herald says During the current fiscal year nearly thirty four million gallons of whisky must be removed from bonded warehouses, and either exported or thrown upon the market. In the latter event nearly thirty million dollars in taxes must be paid to the government by the owners of the whisky. This tax, if enforced, means ruin to these owners, and, it is said, will involve the fall of many banks which have made heavy loaus secured by this commodity. If three or four millions of gallons are thrown upon the market per month, there is no limit to which the price may not fall. It costs about sixteen cents to make a gallon Of whisky, and the tax is ninety cents. There is going to be heavy loss some where.

THE SKYE CHOPPERS.
The People that the English Government
 Is Having Trouble With.

The little rebellion now existing in the Isle of Skye has not been very clearly defined, as to its causes, in the accounts received by cable; but it Is not in the least difficult to understand and account for any conceivable discontent among the poor crofters of that island.
 The island is in the main unfit for agri- culture. The lower lying tracts are sus- cephble of cultivation in potatoes and a few other products, but the climate is unfavorable, the soil poor, and the results of labor very uncertain. The land system, not only in Skye but in other islands of the group, is about the worst one conceivable. The greater part of Skye belongs to one proprietor, and the curse of great estates, intended for the support of double or triple set of dependents upon the soil, is felt throughout the Hebrides. In many cases the land of the great proprietor is held by tacksmen, a sort of middlemen, between owner and cultivator, men who hold the land by lease and sublet it at higher rates to others, Ievying a second rent of their own, which would be a well.nigh uncomfortable burden to agri- cultural industry even in the best con. citions, while the conditions in the Heb. rides are the worst.
 The crofters are simply small renters, men who hold little fields or gardens upon the most uncertain of tenures- that of tenants at will-at high rents. They live by fishing and kelp hunting, and serving summer tourists; and their lives are one long battle with absolute destitution. with the odds terribly against them.
 That there should be discontent aGong people so situated-especially when the population is so excessive as it is in these islands-is quite matter of course, and the desperation of such discontent is equally to be presumed. Men who, at best, are allowed only the barest possibility of subsistence, and who are exposed to the loss even of that small chance, by ordinary circumstances, or by the arbitrary will of those who op- press them, are not apt to be particular as to legal forms in their efforts to pre- serve themselves and their children alive.

 It was simple thing to do, and to be done out of the kindly sympathy of one loving little heart; but it quite changed the current of Miss Weaver's hard, lonely life. No longer would her cher ries spoil on the trees from lack of cherry mouths to fall into; and she grew to like the little men and women who haunted her orchard with such good-natured persistency. And at length she even came to be "Aunt Judith; dear, kind Aunt Judith," to each and every one of them but most of all to blue-eyed, loving little Fay.
