A Commotion at Sea.

A passenger on the Just arrived
steamer from Australia says that on
the second day out from Melbourne the
passengers were amazed 10 behold q
little swarthy-faced, black-eyed man
emerge from his statc-room in full
jockey costume-boots, whip. spurs,
silk jacket and all. In this attire he
solemnly paced up and down the deck
for IN hour and then disappeared
The next morning the same party
appeared attired in the half armor of 4
knight Of the middle ages, and the
same afternoon emerged in a gorgeous
Cardinals dress and continued his Dig
nitied promenade without speaking 4
word to any one.
The fact that all these costumes were
Il world too LARGE for the wearer made
this masquerading the more grotesque,
and the passengers watched each trans
formation with increasing merriment
until it was suddenly whispered around
that the fellow was mailman who inn
agned himself going to n perpetual SER
les of masked balls, and that any oppo-
sition to his deusion would provoke him
TO fury.
Inc strange passenger rattlcu the
nerves of the company very much the
next morning by appearing as Bedouin
Arab, armed with cruel-looking CHM
etar, but when shortly after dinner he
showed up rs a Pluto Indian, carrying
blood-curdling tomahawk and scalp
ing knife, the women and children
locked themselves in their state-rooms,
while committee OF gentlemen hunted
up the captain and filed an indignant
protest against allowing the maniac to
remain at large.

Raising Evergrecns from Seed.

In answer to n subscriber who asks
how to raise the Norway spruce and
American arbor vitae from seed, the
Rural Netc Y0rbsr says: Raising ever
green seedlings requires considerable
experience and close attention. A light,
sandy soil is best. and it does not need
to be very rich It's best TO sow the
seed at once after it has become ripe,
and if this can not be done 1t should
be placed in damp (not weD sand I'M
til sown. Sow as early in spring as
possible. in drills or rows six inches
apart. in beds about six feet wide, and
cover not over one-fourth of an inch
deep The surface should be kept
moist. and q good way to do this is to
cover The ground lightly with clean
straw. which should be entirely re-
moved as soon as the seedlings begin
10 appear. Mt which time n partial
shade should be provided, rs the full
rays of the blazing sun are sure death
TO the seedlings. This shade IS pest
provided by making trame-wor@ OF
light pieces about three or Tour leeI
from the ground, and on these nan
laths, placing them just the width OF a
lath apart. The sun, being constantly
in motion. the latbs viii shade every
part of the bed in succession, thus pre-
venting any burning OF the young
plants They should be Kept entirely
free Of weeds. and the first winter the
beds saould be shaded entirely IRON
the direct RAYS Of the sun so as to pre-
vent constant freezing and thaWlng'
and It IS q GOOD plan. by some means
to keen the snow all the time covering
the beds. When years old, the seed
lings should be strong enough to bear ear
shade entirely removed, and it is well
now TO scatter little very fine wen,
rotted manure among the plants, and
of course they Should be kept entirely
clear of weeds. When years ola,
they should be transplanted into nur-
sery rows.

Some mothers do not know what to
do with the baby on the nurses "even-
ing out. Various plans of disposing
of him have been suggested to us. One
way is to put the kitten TO bed with
him, and then 90 to the theatre. This,
however has been objected to by Mr..
Bergh as being cruel 10 the kitten.
Another method is to let his papa walk
up and down the nursery while he sings
him to sleep in his arms; this, howev-
or, is bad for the baby's morals, rs he
is apt TO pick up many strange and cur
ious intersections from his father. The
most popular method is to leave him
alone upstairs with the door shut,
while you drown any possible noise he
might make by playing Baby Nine
on the piano in the parlor.

Plans Made for Two Others.
Work has boon commenced on the ex-
cavation for tho now school house to be
erected on s street, between Thirteenth
and Fourteenth streets northwest. When
completed this building will accommo.
date 700 pupils and will contain twelve
large rooms. Tho rooms will be 27x36
and will BIO heated by steam, the building
being too large to allow the Ruttan sys-
tenn to be used. The building will be of
brick and stone and will be similar in
style to the Analostan school on G street,
between Twenty-iirst and Twenty second
streets. The location of the new building
is an excellent one, standing in the center
Of a large lot, which is in excellent sani-
tary condition. 1t is to cost $4,000, and
to DO completed by June 10, 1885.
The building department are also pre-
pairing plans for two new eight-room
buildings. These buildings will be erected
from the proceeds of the sale of the prop
erty held by the district known as the
Holmesd estate. This property is valued
at nearly $4,000, and it is thought two
comfortable school buildings can be built
from tho proceeds. The commissioners
recently purchased q lot in the eastern
part Of the city, whore one of the two
buildings will be erected. The sale of the
Holmead property will take place shortly,
and work will be begun as soon after as
practicable.

Her Huabnntl,s Estate.

Her Husbnnds Estate.
Judge James made short work in tho
orphans court yesterday of tho contest
for letters of administration on tho estate
of Col. William Belts by appointing tho
widow and requiring her to give small
bond Early in tho day Mr.. William L.
ShaHer, who had applied for letters, came
in and asked for continuance stating
that his attorney was absent from the
city. Later Judge Pelham, accompanied
by Mrs. Belts, came and in support of the
latter's application filed two additional
papers. One was the following petition,
addressed to the presiding judge of the
probate court:
1.-THE undersigned most respectfully
commend to your favorable consideration
Mrs Mary +. Belts, widow of the late
Col. William II. Belts, formerly Of Opel
ika. Mrs Belts is a Christian woman Of
the highest responsibility. She is the
daughter of DR.. W. III. III. Griffin and has
resided in this county all her life. She
has always been deserving. good woman
and faithful aud devoted wife,"
This was signed by the Judge of probate,
clerk of the circuit court, sheriff of Lee
county, register in chancery. postmaster
of Opelika, and thirty-two others, citizens
of the town OF Opelika and Leo county.
Tho other was q deposition made by
George G.. Lanicr, In which he states that
tboro never was any separation between
Mr.. and Mrs. Belts, and that no children
of the two arc now living.
When tho case was called Mr.. A. A.
Birney said that he appeared for Judge
Willoughby, tho counsel for Mr.. Shaffer,
and had been informed that he did not
desire to press tho application, provided
1t could be shown that there had never
been n separation between the parties
during the lifetime of Col. Belts. Judge
Pelham appeared for Mrs. Belts, and re-
lated the circumstances Of her husbands
death, showed that they had always
lived together as man and wife, and de-
clsred that she was tho proper person to
administer on the estate, which fact had
been admitted by the other side.
Judge James was Of the same opinion,
and made tho appointment, fixing the
bond at $1,000, which was given.

Nothing But Pepper Ten.

Muster Pendleton was charged in the
police court yesterday with selling liquor
in quantities less than pint without q
license. One witness testified that he got
a drink in the place with other witnesses,
but the other witnesses denied that they
had. A colored woman, named Susan
Mcmahon, who resolved to keep drunk as
long as she could, said she had drank the
liquor, which was mo better'n pepper
tea" The case was dismissed.
Julia Lynch was before the court on a
similar charge, bur the testimony did not
sustain it, and the case was dismissed.
