A Righteous ProvOeatiOn.

Murat Halstead in the Commercial Gazette.
The spirit of the convention, touch
ing the tariff is voiced, as the able
orators say, in an anecdote for which
the city of Atlanta is held respon-
sible. A citizen invited an old
acquaintance to dinner and in the
course of the evening Knocked him
down and gave him a complete
thrashing. The astonishing case was
before the Police Court, and much
indignation was INDUCED concern
ing the extraordinary abuse of the
privileges of Southern hospitality.
The prisoner, who was supposed to
have committed the objectionable
sin OF diSgracing his sovereign State,
was tried and convicted and stood
up to say why sentence should not
be passed upon HIM. lie stated
that his distinguished guest, with
whom he had the unfortunate
difficulty, had hardly entered his
house before he became offensive.
He was brutal in his remarks to the
servant. The prisoner WAS indig-
nant, but suppressed the wrath.
The next improperly was in the
form of shameless jokes on the chill
dren of the house. Still the rising
Indignation was quelled. Then
the lady OF the house herself, the
honored wife of the prisoner, was
referred TO in sighting terms, and
remarks that might have been con-
strued to insult her fell from the
guest, and yet the passion of resent
ment was painfully put down.
'At last" said the prisoner, after
he had endured all this and more,
"he deliberately turned to me and
began TO talk about the tariff, and
then | struck him." The Judge
discharged the prisoner on the spot
with the applause of the spectators.

sta tistics Of IIliteracy.

Mr.. Blair, of New Hampshire,
addressed the Quilted States Senate
on the bill to aid in the establish
ment and temporary support OF
common schools. In the course Of
his remarks he said:
More than one-ninth of the citi-
Zens of the Quilted States are unble
to read or write. According to the
census of 1880, out of the $4,000. 900
Of population in the United States
there were 1882 per cent. who could
not read and 12.44 per cent. who
could not write. The proportion OF
white people who could not write
was $3.50 per cent. and OF colored
47.70 per cent. The number of per-
sons of school age was 1851 1892,
while the number enrolled was only
9,7S1 ,521, and even of that number
the actual average attendance was
only -5,805, 342. That is to say, the
average attendance was about two
thirds of the enrolment, or about
one-third of the number that should
attend. In thirty-four cities of the
Union so to 50 per cent, of the chill
dren were not enrolled at all-that
is, would never know how to read
or write.

persons who have little or no ac-
quaintance with astronomy can fol-
low his argument. "Are we Ma

title of an article by John F. Hume,
who shows that states counties and
municipalities in the United States
have already formerly repudiated'
or defaulted in the payment of in

other obligations equal to the sum

Chloroform for Cholera.

A tablespoonful of chloroform in
about four times as much water is
an infallible cure for cholera. A
doctor who had lived in Mobile,
Ala, and had great success in curing
people during cholera epidemic
there told me- about it. When in
the Cuban revolution,I went there to
help organize the insurgent army,
l had a chance to try the remedy,
for cholera epidemic broke out
among the Troops. My first expert
ment was on negro in the last sta
ges. 1t cured him, and hundreds after
him. When we marched the of
ficers carried bottles of chloroform,
and if a man fell out sick with the
cholera the remedy was applied and
he was able TO resume his place. /
have seen men lying by the road
side in state of collapse, almost
dead. An officer would ride up,
dismount and apply this remedy,
and before the column had passed
the man would be in the ranks
again.

The Southern Cultivator gives the
following as the best receipt for can
ming tomatoes, blackberries, peach
es, apples and other fruit; Scald or
steam, not cook, tomatoes so the
skin will peel readily. Have jars
hot, put in tomatoes carefully after
peeiing without mashing, fill up
completely and add enough Juice
which escaped while peeling to fill
up all interstices, seal tight; and
keep i'm a cool; dark place. For
fruit tarts with a syrup made with
one pounti of sugar to a pint of wa
ter, heat, and when it boils add as
much fruit as it will cover; this
checks the boiling; when it boils
AGAIN take out fruit and put in jars;
seal up and store away as above.
To keep up supply Of syrup, add
more sugar and water as may be
needed.

CIRCE.

EARNEST M'GoFFEY, in the Current,
An ancient gallery rocks and dips
In fdleness content,
Her grizzeld crew with parted lips
Are listening intent,
Across a waste OF liquid miles
They hear the sirens sing,
As from the fair enchanted isles
Their magic voices ring.
Along the crested ocean swell
The chanting music rolls,
And weaves a sweet and dreamy spell
That wraps them in its folds;
And curling waves I'm rhythmic beat
The floating echoes bring.
While sea and air and sky repeat
The song the sirens sing.
