Auxiliary Commissioners.

The Governor has appointed ten aux
Hilary commissioners, one from each Con-
gressional district, to assist the Commits
sioners tor the state-at-large, in looking
after the interests of Georgia at the New
Orleans Cotton Centennial. The names
of these auxiliary commissioners are 10
be found in another column. The district
commissioners are authorized by the Gov
ernor to appoint a commissioner IN
each of their respective counties. When
all of the commissioners are appointed
there will be an organization that ought
ia he able to excite sufficient enthusiasm
with respect TO the exposition TO give the
state a very prominent place there. 3
great deal will depend on the men select
ed tor county commissioners. The aim
should be to appoint those who will
exert themselves to have their counties
represented by the best which they
produce. The exposition does not open
until next December, and the disposition
viii probably be to delay preparations
until sometime in the fall. A delay of
that kind, or, in fact. any delay, will be
mistake. The work Of collecting, classI-
flying and arranging ought to be be-
gun as soon as possible. There is a
vast amount of work to be done
in order to give the State the place to
which it is entitled, and the intervening
time is none too long to do it. OF course
there are many things that cannot be pre-
pared for several months, but there are
numerous articles the collection of which
can be begun now as well as later on.
The exposition ought to be, and can be,
made beneficial to Georgia.

A YANKEE IN RED PAINT.
One Who Has Lived as a Head Sachem of
the Piutes for Many, Many Moons.

One Who Has Lived as a Head Sachem of
the Piutes for Many, Many Moons.
The campoodies southeast of town, says
the Walker Lake Col. Bulletin, were the
scene Of unusual excitement yesterday.
1t was accidentally discovered that one of
the head Sachems, who had lived on the
Walker river reservation for years, was a
white man. How the discovery was made
is not stated The Indians were so worked
up over the discovery that the renegade,
fearing for his life, came to town. Upon
being interviewed by a reporter he said he
was a native of Massachusetts, and Al
years of age. He became entangled in
scrape when he was IS years old, and
running away from home followed the
sea for two years. Arriving at San Fran
cisco he joined the rush to the mines.
After a pretty rough experience going
from camp to camp he finally, after the
collapse of the Meadow Lake boom, Joined
the Piutes at the Pyramid reservation.
He remained there until he had fully mas
tered the language and habits of his dusky
friends and then, painting himself and as
Stunning the garb Of the red men, came to
Walker Lake, where, in consideration of
his able advice in the councils of the
tribe, he was elected chief and allowed
three wives. He says that, although he
sometimes longed for news from the Bay
State, he was perfectly content to remain
where he was, as he found the roaming,
independent life of the Piutes just the
thing for a man tired of the busy scenes
of civilization.
Now that he has the paint washed off
and has donned a decent suit of clothes
he is very intelligent looking man, and
it is a wonder that he could have kept
himself from his race so many years.
He will probably return to the home OF
his youth in a few days.

JOHN G. SAXE'S JOKE.
The Way He Made the Acquaintance of
His Publisher.


Mr.. SAKE had long been a contributor to
the KnickerbOcker and a correspondent of
its editor before he and that editor met.
One day Lewis Gaylord Clark was seated
in his library, hard at work, when a
stranger opened the door and entered I'M
announced. He was large man. whose
thick boots and modest raiment were
covered with country dust. 'Hello,
Clark" he said, show air you? HOw's
the folks? WOt's newT Clark, who was
the pink of courtesy, arose. bowed stiffly,
and begged the stranger to be seated.
%Wal, old Teller, how'er yer bin?'' re-
sumed the visitor after he had taken
seat. "LoOk raythur yaller bout the
dewlaps. Not bin h'istin' too much gin
and peppermint, L hope-ehT' "Sir!'
answered Clark with dignity, "may in
quire whom l have" Flows Clara
and the young folks?" "Sir!" All
the time the stranger was propounding
these kindly inquiries he was edging his
chair bit by bit closer aud closer to Mr..
Clark, who, beginning to get quite ner-
vOus, was vainly trying to keep his dis
lance by the same system of tactics.
"Well, Old HOss, Pm mighty glad to see
yer. Give us grip of yer potato rake'
extending his own hand cordially, and
then bringing it down with a thump on
the writing table, which made the pens
anu lin anu all JD6 llbbl6 dIblCl6S Oi NlTJu
jump again. 'sSay, Lewis, / feel dry.
You hain't got no rum round the shanty,
hev yer? No, bet you've bin and soaked
it all up Yourself, We old sinner" and
here he pOked Clark in the ribs with the
end of piece Of shrubbery which stood
to him in place of a cane, at the same time
advancing his chair two bitches on
Clark's left flank. s'But, say, Clark, pll
tell yer wot; you lend me quarter and
I'll run up to that gin mill on the corner
and get yer bottle filled, and then Well
hev quiet, sOciable time together. What
dyer say? Is it a dealw Here the
stranger threw himself back in his char,
and, rassing one of his huge dusty boots,
laid it confldingly on Clark's knee. "Sir,"
said Clark, jumping to his feet, 81 have
not the pleasure of your acquaintance,
and must therefore beg you to leave my
house, as both my privacy and my time
are of value to me-" Again the stranger
threw himself back in his chair, and,
laughing heartily, exclaimed: excuse
my joke, Mr.. Clark, but 1 am John &.
SAKE. thought we had known each
other long enough by correspondence, and
ought to make each others acquaintance
personally, so l have just taken a run
down the river to see you" When Clark
had recovered from his first establishment
he shook his old contributor cordially by
the hand, and tradition says they s'made
a night of it,"

A Con,rac, that Attracts Attention.

A Contract that Attracts Attention
A few days ago the Louisville Courier
Journal stated that Nashville, Tennes-
see, manufacturer of pig iron had made a
contract to deliver $2,00O,0OO worth OF pig
iron to a stove manufacturer in that city
at prices ranging from so 80 to Sl2 90 per
ton. The amount to be delivered each day
is not 10 exceed so tons. This contract is
the occasion Of a great deal Of discussion
in iron trade circles in New York and
among the iron manufacturers OF Penn
syIyania. Its Importance is readily IN
derstood when 1t is stated that the price
Of pig iron in the New York market at
present ranges from $40 80 to 81 per ton.
The Nashville contract shows two things;
First, that if the Pennsylvania mills can
not produce iron at a great deal less cost
than they do at present they will have TO
close at no very distant day, and
second, that the Tennessee and Ala
bama manufacturers do not need an!
protection. They can compete success
fully with any country in the world. The
question has been raised whether the
Nashville manufacturer is able to carry
out his contract. The COurier-J0urnat
answers for him and says that
his ability and his responsibility are be-
vond question. There is scarcely doubt
that. in a few years, the South will be the
great iron and cotton manufacturing sec
ton Of the country. A few days ago we
showed by the testimony Of two promi-
nent cotton manufacturers that pTOtec-
tive tariff does not help their business,
and this Nashville contract proves that
the South would be better off without a
protective tariff on iron, because if the
tariff were removed the Southern iron and
coal fields would at once undergo wonder
full development.

Three or four miles out of East Point,
Ga, negro was taken very sick a few
weeks ago. A brother of color, who had
bought himself a cheap medical treatise,
volunteered to cure the patient for four
bushels of sweet potatoes. He had not
doctored him over three days, however,
before the patient was cold in death. A
white doctor living in the town happened
to be passing and was called in. When
he had tasted the medicine, which was in
a gallon jug, he asked:
"What disease did you doctor forW
"Poll-evil, sah."
"Whatl Who ever heard of man hav-
ing poll-evil? That is a horse disease"
The other at once opened his book to
page 70, and said:
"Reckon you'll find 1t right dar, sah."
"Yes," said the doctor, as he thumbed
the leaves over, shut the diseases of man

ASSURED OF HIS sACREDNEss.
Scientists Examine TOung TalOung at
the Madison Square Garden.

Scientists Examine TOung TaIoung at
the Madison Square Garden.
About two hundred gentlemen, clergy
men, doctors and scientists, says the New
York Did, gathered before TOung Taloung,
the sacred white elephant, yesterday in
Madison Square Garden and showed by
divers ways why TOung was born with
white toes and pink trunk. The chill
dren CT Burmah, dressed in their Sunday
clothes and with their faces washed and
hair cOmbed for the occasion, sat around
the elephant on Oriental rugs and kept
small boys away who attempted to feed
Toung on apples. Yesterday Toung ate
peanuts and when the Burmese discov-
cred it they were indignant. TOung Ia
lOung contains the souls of five kings, and
the Burmese chief expects TO eventually
inhabit him, hence the idea of having
their souls mixed up with peanut shells
makes them angry.
Mr.. Barnum for the first time in many
years delivered lecture. He explained
that the elephant was sacred and invited
the scientists to come forward and exam
inc TOung. The Burmese band began to
play, the elephant was trotted forward.
Mr.. Barnum raised his voice five notes
higher and the scientists crowded up to
Toung.
The Rev. Mr.. Collyer held his daughter
by one hand and the elephants trunk in
the other. He smoOthed the skin down,
then he rubbed it up, looked at its tongue
and asked his daughter what she thought
OF him. Miss Collyer was delighted, and
the gentleman pronounced Toung a kind,
gentle, sacred white elephant. Judge
Advocate Asa Bird Gardner, u. S. A., ex-
amined the knob on the elephants tail and
felt his frontal bones and rendered his de-
cision affirming upon the best of informa-
ton and belief, and in accordance with
the facts before the court and the argu-
ment heard thereon, that Toung was sa-
cred. There are number of ways of de-
termining a white elephant and each of
the two hundred gentlemen told by his
own particular way. but each was certain
that TOung was the bona-fide sacred beast.
DIR. VanderpOOl can tell a sacred elephant
by looking at his eyes, while the Rev. DIR.
Taylor can tell by his mouth. Each one,
however, signed document testifying to
the genuineneSs.

LOCKS OF HAIR
Which Once Adorned Presidents Heads

Which Once Adorned Presidents Heads.
Very few of the people, says Wash
ington letter, who stream through the Ma
tional Museum know, fancy, that small
locks of hair taken from the heads of the
Presidents, from Washington to Pierce,
are carefully preserved in a glass-covered
box in one of the exhibition cases. They
are interesting as the only relics of the
bodies of our Chief Magistrates. Wash
ington's hair in this collection is nearly
pure white, fine and glossy. That of
John Adams is also white, but cOarser.
Jetferson's hair is rather coarse, and in
color a mixture of white and sandy
brown. You can see that in his youth
it must have been remarkable for its
bright color. MadisOn's hair is coarse, a
mixture of white and brown. MOnroe's
is fine, smooth and of its original dark
auburn in color. The hair of John Gum
cy Adams is of the oldest color; it is
coarse, and colOred like a yellow gray
cats eye. General Jackson's hair is
coarse white. Van Buren's is white, fine
and smooth. General HarrIsOn's is fine
and white, with a slight admiXture Of
black. John Tyler's hair is mixed white
and brown. Folks is almost a pure white.
Taylor's is white, streaked with brown.
Willard Fillmore's, on the other hand, is
brown, with few white streaks. Frank
lin Pierce's is a dark brown, fine and soft.

WAS THERE A RATIN THE vAT2
A Newark Brewer Sues a Temperance
Advocate for $4,000.

A Newark Brewer Sues a Temperance
Advocate for $4,000.
The trial OF Christian Feigenspan, the
wealthy Newark lager beer brewer,
against Judge William II. Morrow, of
Belvidere, says a Newton, N. j., special
OF the Sd inst. to the New York World,
was begun in the Sussex County Courts
to-day before Justice Magee. The case is
brought by Mr.. Feigenspan to recover
$4,000 damages, resulting from a speech
made by Judge Morrow at a temperance
meeting in the Presbyterian Church,
in Newton, on Saturday evening,
September 90, at the time Mabee
and English, the temperance advocates,
were in that place on their second visit.
Through the instrumentality of Mabee
and English while at Belvidere, Judge
Morrow connected himself with the Re-
of the cause, and has since been engaged
in making temperance speeches. In his
address it is claimed that he stated he
had seen a dead rat in one of Feigenspan's
beer watts. He asked MIR. Feigenspan if he
would not thrown the brewing away. Mr..
Feigenspan replied: "Oh, no; my GUS
toners will never know there was a rat in
the Deer.'
1t is also claimed that Mr.. Morrow
stated that chemicals detrimental to
health were used in manufacturing beer,
and that the men employed at the brewery
washed their feet in the watts. There is
great difference of opinion as to what
Judge Morrow did say, excepting his re-
mark about the rat. The case is exciting
considerable interest.

A RACE WITH A wHIRLwIND.
How Railway Train Outran Hurri-
cane Roaring on Astern.

now "a halfway IRAN OuLfan a hufrI-
cane Roaring on Astern.
A remarkable and thrilling incident of
Tuesdays storm, says the Charlotte Oh
serUer. was related to the reporter by a
party who was travelling on train on the
Chester and LenOir Narrow Gauge Rail-
road at the time the incident occurred.
The train had passed Lowerysville and
was speeding in the direction of Lincoln
ton, when all on board were startled by
a roaring sound that could be distinctly
heard above the noise of the train, and on
glancing back they saw an immense
whirlwind tearing along the railroad
track, following directly behind the
train at a rapid rate. The engineer
was among the first to see it, and
realizing what the consequences would
be should the whirlwind Overtake
the train he pulled the throttle wide open
and an exciting race began. The whirl-
wind was not more than five hundred
yards behind the train, and the anxious
passengers soon became aware of the
painful fact that it was gradually gaining
upon them. There were several ladies in
the car and they cried and carried on at a
terrible rate, while the men danced
about the car in their excitement, vainly
yelling at the engineer to put on more
steam.
The race was kept up in this way for
two miles, when the train turned a curve
in the road. AS the whirlwind struck the
curve it left the railroad track, speeding
its way straight on through the fields. At
the time it left the track it was not more
than three hundred yards behind the train.
1t was thrilling race, and all the pas
sengers blessed that curve from the bot
tom of their hearts.

Along Session Predicted.

The present session Of Congress will
doubtless be long. 1t is predicted that it
will continue through the entire summer.
-Four months of it have passed and very
little has been done. The appropriation
bills have scarcely been touched. Those
which are to be acted ON yet will require
at least two months if as much time is
given to them as was given to the same
bills last Congress. The tariff bill and the
Interstate commerce bill are measures
which will be debated for weeks. The
Speakers desk is loaded with Senate bills.
Congress works slowly for sOmereasOn or
other. Why Mr.. Randall does not
push along the appropriation bills
is rot easy to understand. In the early
part of the session it was said that he
would delay the bills in order to prevent
discussion of the tariff bill. This state
ment he has denied, and there appears to
be no good reason why his statement
should not be accepted. Unless there is
an improvement, this Congress will not
make record to be proud Of. No doubt
the attention which is being given to the
approaching Presidential contest inter
feres very greatly with legislation, but it
does not wholly account for the backward
condition of business.
