Bill Snort, editor of the Crosby
County Clarion and Farmers

er day, and we asked him about
,he state Of morality in Crosby
county since the local option law
forbidding the sale of Intoxicating
liquors had gone into effect.
"Why, there amt prisoner in

"Well, you can bring me the caffey,

"Glaces."

The General finished his break
fast just as chairman Jones, Of the
National Republican Committee,
entered the dining room. The two
great men shook hands cordially
and left the room together. AS
they passed Mr.. Hendricks that
gentleman turned very red in the
face, and Logan remarked to his
companion:

time of it orderin' his breakfast.

pretty hard things for men like
him to tackle. He couldn't order
anything but ham and eggs"
Mr.. Hendricks must have heard
the concluding sentence, for he
seized the bill of fare with an an
CRY expression and turned to the
waiter at his side. Placing his
forefnger on the center of the bill
and drawing it to the bottom, he
said sharply:

A Singing Rebuke.

A correspondent of the Barnes
vile Gazette tells this
The following occurred during
the recent election in a neighbor-
ing district: A young man rather
wild and addicted to drink, had
been made the subject of special
prayer on several occasinos by a
member of the church. 1t chanc-
ed that this member of the church
and the young man went up to
vote about the same time. The
praying man put in a vote for the
sale of liquor; the young man
voted against the sale; and remark
ed to the church man, "You have
been praying for me, calling my
name In church-you know this to
be my besetting sin-drinkng.
You have voted to keep the temp
tahon before me. Now L will
beat you if [ ever hear of you
praying for me again." Rather a
singing rebuke.

Home Experiments.
New Yorker.

Every farm should be an expert
ment station, and every farmer an
experimenter. We don't mean by
this that the whole farm and the
whole time of the farmer should
be devoted to making experiments;
but we do mean that the farmer
should have plots on which to try
the differents manures, different
seeds and different modes Of cult
walton. Farmers are far too apt
to take information at second hand;
too apt to jump at conclusions.
Because a neighbor may feed more
stock and feed richer foods and
make barn-yard manure, and for
that reason a farmer who uses
special fertilizers can't see any
special benefit from their use,
1t won do Tor INN to conclude
that such fertilizers will not pay
him. He must know for himself
and on his own soil, what manures
pay, and what pay best. He must
know what crops are best adopted
to particular fields; whether hill
or drill planting pays him the bet
ter; whether hill or flat culture is
the more profitable; in short, there
are Neutrality-suspicious. constant

LULU IN BROOKLYN.
A Small Boy Pushes Her around the
Stage.

For two hours last night, says
the New York World, a goodna-
tured Brooklyn audience sat in
Hayerly's Theatre and guyed Lulu
Hurst and her black moustached
young manager. Theyouth at the
piano was the only performer who
was not guyed. Lulu looked
warm as she sat robed in silk
dress Of immaculate Wilderness.
Paul Atkinson tried funny
speech and talked about mysteri-
Gus power and psychic force and
began to tell long pun which he
hammered out Of shape and then
sat down. Two very old gentle
men, one Of whom was DR.. Adams
"a we'll known physician-went
upon the stage and were soon fol
lowed by others. At the end of
the circle Of chairs sat youth
scarcely l6 years old. He had
fire i'll his eye when he stepped up
to take his inning at the umbrella
trick The little fellow jerked
Miss Hurst all over the stage and
handled the umbrella at will and,
inspired by applause, he pushed
the wonder back to the wings.
Seeing herself overpowered, Miss
Hurst resorted to one OF her
lodges and deliberately snapped
off the handle, thus destroying the
youths hold.
The most amusing character
was a raw-boned, dark man with a
pair of what the boys called
"sluggers" on his cheeks. He
tried to make a speech. Il weigh
1885, pounds" he said, "and l do
not understand" p
Perhaps if you find the other
half pound you vii, " was the I'M
couth remark that crushed him.
A young fellow with his locks
of hair plastered down ON his
forehead and parted in the middle
took hand. The wonder gazed
sympathetically on him, and cries
Of CASH" CASH "The next
waltz" robbed him ofhis strength.
He grabbed the chair and the
wonder in an undertone said some
thing to him, when a voice from
the corner called out; ooh, amt
it nice?" The salesman measured
his length like a piece Of calico on
the floor and left.
During the chair act it was
plainly visible to those seated in
the front rows that Miss Hurst
breathed hard and held a good
grip on the chair, with the muscles
Of her thumb against her bent
palm.

A Heroic Negro.
Eufaula Times.

Eufaula Times
The circumstances OF one Of the
most heroic and romantic deeds
connected with the late Evering-
ham disaster was related to us.
After tho boat had been banked
and a rooster Of the crew was
called, Assistant Pilot Wingate
did not answer.
"Where is Wingate p some
che shouted
asleep, in his berth" was the
answer.
BY this time the supports of
the upper deck were being eaten
rapidly away, and the flames cir
cled round and round over the
hurricane deck, licking the glass Of
the state room doors, to disappear
now and anon through the black
curl5 OF dense smoke, then again
to streak the black sky like the
liyid pulse of destruction that it
was, and then to soar away and
vanish into the oblivion of heat to
scar the invisible atone of the
air.
1t was in the midst of this pam
Drama Of horror that the black
form was seen rushing towards
Wingates berth and impending
death. A surge, a crash and a
door gave way, and Wingate and
his rescuer, through ways left by
Providence, escaped in salty to
the shore. This negro, on hear
ing that Pilot Wingate was in
his stateroom, banished all fear of
his own safety to rescue him,
which was done in return for the
saving of his own life by Wingate
when the "Wylly" went to pieces
against the Fort Gaines bridge
last April. He was going under
for the third time when Wingate
gnatched him from his grave.
This was gratitude, and a hero
ism equalled by no instance in the
calamitious records Of many and
many day, and deserves a monu-
ment Of marble.

Refore and After Marriage.

Not unfrequently both men and
.,omen expect more from mar
.;rotban it is in human nature to
Ia Tn the romantic counting
gars the love making is fresh, and
sweet and all engrossing and the
unreaecting innocents are deluded
:nto the belief that the bonds of
matrimony are alone needed to Sc
nnre them life of love and JOY at
tba high fever heat of the warm,
,,outhful moments. But such an
anticipation of heaven on this
oortb cannot be. The heat must
cool down and the intoxication of
love sober into the tranquility of
friendship. 1t is a great matter
10 get safely through the cooling
nrocess. The danger is that, when
# begins, one, or other, or both,
ignorant THAT its cause lies in the
nature of things, may throw the
blame on an innocent partner, and
in his or her sweet heart sigh over
tbe awful misfortune of a dreary
upion. This would not happen SO
frequently as it does if, as is not
often the case, the husband and
wife were TO sober down at the
same rate. AS a rule the lady
will hold on to the tender love
making much longer than the
gentleman. It is the man that
rools. and the wife that is broken
hearted.
Among the causes of evil lying
nearer the surface there is our
system of court-ship, which seems
as if especially designed for mis-
chief. To be kind and attentive
to the object of ones affection is
natural on the part Of both man
and woman. But, according to
custom, the gentleman must do all
the wooing, the labor of love max
ing falls to him, and as a rule, he
does not spare himself. For
weeks, for months, for years, he
vorships at the feet Of his fair one
with compliment, fattery and end
less attentions. He seems the
slave of her smallest wish. In all
this there is much acting, often
much conscious acting. Marriage
is the dropping of the curtain;
with it ends the merry, but in its
consequences, melancholy farce.
And when he sees the effect of the
play, he sincerely wishes it had
never been. The attentions can't
continue. Nor is it desirable that
they should. Yet in getting them
for a time, women are taught to
Epect them forever. The arrange
nent is cruel to women. 1t is
like the practice of first spelling
children and then Furnishing them
Orbeing spoiled.

A MONKEY WITH A CRUTCH.
Queer Surgical Operation on Dumb
Brute.

brute.
| Armed with select assortment
of surgical Instruments and ac-
companied by reporter Saturday
afternoon, says the Boston Herald,
DR. Watts approached a large
cage in the upper part of his re-
pository, on Kneeland street, in
which a poor little monkey chung
desperately to his perch. This
particular monkey was native of
Bahia, and belongs to the ring
tailed species. Three weeks ago
be escaped from his owner and
broke his right leg, just above the
knee. Modification had set in,
and amputation was necessary to
save the animals life, so he had
been turned over to DR.. Watts for
treatment He weighed but five
pounds, and was very weak from
his injury. It was the doctors
purpose to take off his leg, SO he
adjusted his eyeglasses, rolled up
his sleeves, made a cone out of
towel, inserting a sponge soaked
with ether, and then proceeded to
put the little sufferer under the
influence OF the an@sthetic. After
the monkeys struggles ceased, the
doctor went to work. Selling his
knife, he cat up the skin about
two inches lower down the leg
than where he intended to cut the
bone. Upon turning up the flaps
Of skin, it was observed that the
monkeys leg was exactly like that
OF a human being. DIR. Watts
first severed the arteries, picked
them up, and tied them securely
with silk thread. He cut the mus
cles and thenwith fine saw severed
the bone. More ether was admin
istered, the reporter acting as as
sistant. Great care and skill were
necessary, for the animal was very
much exhausted, but the doctor
knew just what to do and how to
do it. Scarcely a quarter Of an
ounce Of blood was lost during the
operation, which was thoroughly
successful in every way. The doc
tor next drew down the flaps Of
skin and sewed them over the
stump with silk thread A few
bandages, and all was over.
Tenderly the doctor took his
dumb patient to an open window
and allowed him to breathe fresh
air. The expression Of the mon
keys face was study. His every
look was like that Of human be-
ing. His eyes opened, and he
stared wildly about at first; then
he acted more naturally. AS he
saw his amputated leg and seemed
to realize what had happened, and
that he was still alive, an express
sion of wonder and establishment
could be seen upon his little face.
Carefully he was laid upon a
mound Of clean straw in his cage.
He tried to walk about with the
leg which was not there. Then he
smelled of the bandage and rolled
about a bit, finally curling up and
going to sleep as if perfectly salts
fed. He seemed to know that
what had been done was for the
best, and he looked through the
bars at the doctor with a grateful
expression on his face. In six
weeks from now he will be as live
ly and as interesting as ever, and
will scarcely miss his lost mem
Der.

THROUGH THE KEY HOLE.
What an Accidental Eayesdropper
Says He Heard in Gen. Buffers
PaPlOr.

During Ben Buffers recent Wis
it to this city, says Washington
special to the Baltimore Sun, sew
eral unsuccessful efforts were
made to ascertain the nature of
the business that called him to the
capital, and also get an expression
from him as to the political situa-
ton. He remained here nearly a
week, and although his movements
were Swallowed and his personal
friends were questioned, when the
crafty Ben left his stone house on
Capitol Hill and returned to New
York, the object of his trip to
Washington was still mystery
except to select few.
A large land owner in Virginia
and West Virginia, while in this
city few days ago, spins the fol-
loving yarn about Butler. Said
he: "Ben Butler is investing ex-
tensiyely in land in our section of
the country. He purchases in his
own name and also in the name Of
other parties, generally English
capitalists. A short time ago I
received letter from Gen Butler
stating that he would be in Wash
lngton at a certain time, and re-
questing me to call at his horse
on Capitol Hill to consult about
some land he is to purchase from
me. When [ arrived at the house
the servant informed me that the
General was not at home, but she
said it in such a way that | knew
better. | told the girl | was there
at the request Of the General, and
assured her that | was no newspa-
per man. She finally admitted
that the General was at the time
engaged with another gentleman
i'll the library. [ was then invited
to take a seat in the parlor. I
could not help hearing portions of
the conversation that was going
on In the next room. [ do not
know who was with the General,
but whoever he was he was trying
to drive some kind of a political
bargain. | distinctly heard the
stranger promise that the General
should have the Goyernorship Of
Massachusetts if he would come
out openly and support-I could
not hear whether he said Blaine or
Cleveland. J The General posi-
lively declined the proposition. Il
was next proposed that the Gener-
al should have a Cabinet position.
CAT this point [ became asham-
ed Of myself for playing the ewes
dropper so long and cleared my
throat. This instantly attracted
the attention Of the General, who
rushed into the room where [ was
sitting and accused me in severe
terms with being a reporter who
had stolen into his private resi-
dence to pry into his personal
affairs. l was so indignant that [
could scarcely refrain from knock
ing him down. Finally he per-
mitted me to make an explanation
Of my presence there, which [ did
frankly. When he discovered
who I was and the nature of my
business he apologized for his
rudeness, and said he had been
greatly annoyed by newspaper
men wherever he went. Our bus
mess was soon settled, and he
went back to his friend in the
library" Whether Butler decid-
ed West Virginia lands better
investment than political honors,
or whether this is one of the land
owners little romances does not
appear, and it would be of very
little moment if it did.
