it is merely reduction. There
was no necessity fer creating all this
bad feeling and confusion in the
party, but we are all in the swamp
together and must get out the best
way we can. / think the caucus
will indorss the Morrison bill, and
it will pass the house. 1t will net

danger that it would / would not

would be withheld if there were
danger of it's becoming a law. / re-
gard the attempt to commit the
Democratic party to tariff for rev.
enus emily in advance of the meeting
of the national convention a. very
unwiss. If the party were to 60 be-
fore the country ON such q platform
as that, il would be overwhelming
ly defeated. When tho convention
meets, it will either adopt the Ohio
platform or there will be . split. In
my swn State the sentimen: in ia
vor of protection is constantly grow
ing. Where there is coal and iron,
where sheep are raised and where
sugar can bs grown, there protec-
ten is demanded. In ten years
from now Middle and East Tennes-
see, North Georgia and North Ala
bama, and perhaps some portions .;
Georgia, will be as strongly in favor
Of protection as Pennsylvania and
Connecticut are now"
This is "holding with the hounds
and running with the hare" smart
ly more than we expected from the
able and distinguished gentleman.

The covering of ashes has been
renewed from perhaps one-third of
the city of Pompsii, and the paved
streets and the walls of the houses
stand there to-day as they did-20OO
years ago. The pavements are as
they were, and the houses, except
that they are roofsss. A curious
stery they tell. Here is the house
of a wealthy banker, whose servants
perished at their various employ
ments. They did not realize the
terror of the catastrophe until it was
too late to make their escape. Skel-
etoRs were found in the kitchens
with cooking implements in their
hands; they were found just outside
the doors, having been stricken
down the moment they left cover

Senator Miller, of California, has
reported from the Senate Commit
tee On Foreign Relations q bill
which prohibits the importation oi
opium in any form by Chinese sub.
jects; provides for the seizure and
forfeiture of packages in whole or
in part of opium consigned to Chi
namen in the United States; for the
punishment by fine and imprison-
ment of the persons offending
against the act; prohibits the impor.
tation by any one of opium upon
vessels owned by Cinnamon or fly
ing the Chinese flag, even when
chartered by citizens or subjects of
another country; provides for the
seizure and forfeiture of all opium
found on such vessels in United
States ports; imposes o fine equal to
the value of the opium seized upon
the master Of the vessel. Whenever
it appears that the Government of
China has promulgated appropri-
ate legislation" prohibiting citizens
Of the United States from importing z
opium into the open ports of China
or transporting it from one pert to
another, or buying and selling cpl
um in China, the consular courts
are authorized to try offenders and
impose fine and imprisonment upon
conviction.

CURIOUS SIGHTS.

Curious relics have been taken
out of these houses and preserved
in the museums. Bread eharred by
the heat, but in a good state of pre-
servation coins, household utensils,
furniture, everything known and
used at the time, remained preserv-
ed under the coat of ashes to show
the world to-day how they lived q
900 years ago.
Pompeii presents a curious sight.
There are the walls standing, and
many of the frescoes on the walls
being rs bright as when the brush
of tho artist left them. The streets
are very narrow, tos narrow to ad-
NIT Of vehicles drawn by animals,
and the dwellings are very small in
comparison with the dwellings OF
to-day. The bathrooms were always
large and commodIous, and SO were
the dining halls, but the rooms for
sleeping were merely dens, furnish
ed very plainly and cheaply. The
bed was a block of stone on which
mattresses were spread, the room
being just large enough to receive
it. The PompeiiaRs were luxuri-
Gus, but their tastes all ran to one
or two things. They knew nothing
of that general average which we
call comfort, which insists that the
sleeping room should bear some pro-
portion to the banqueting hall, and
that the bath shall not be the only
magnificent room in the house.

IN ONE SHORT HOUR.

One experiences a curious sensa-
ton at wandering up and down
through the city Of the dead. The
houses are here just as they were
on the fatal afternoon that blOttsd
out the city, and the temples, the
thsaters, and amphitheaters as well,
only it is as silent as the grave.
There are evidences en- every hand
of a busy, gay and luxurious p0pula-
ton, but the population itselfiG not.
All the record that is left Of them
are the standing walls, which they
could not carry with them.
No description of it is possible.
There are only evidences that life
was. The life is gone, but what
they struggled for in life remains.
The stones they trod upon, the
walls wherein they dwelt, the couch
ss upon which they slept, the tables
upon which they ate, the baths
wherein they lay their limbs, the
money they accumulated, that is
here, but where are they? Lady
and harlot, soldier and meeh a1ic,
poet and historian all envelcped in
one winding sheet, and all gone in
one hour. That is Pompeii. ar

WHO KNOWS p?

Who knows but what cities ex-
listed 1000 years ago on the very
site of POmpsii, and that while
Pompeii was being snuffed out wise
and learned men were examining
skeletons and coins and such things
that they had dug up, to the end OF
determining who they were and all
about them? Vesuvius may lave
erupted 1000 years before Pompsii,
and did just as wild wsrk at that
time as she did for Pompeii. A
Pempeii had been forgotten for
ages. A peasant digging we'll
came upon a painted chamber and
he reported his discovery. The
learned men, remembering Pliny
and his account of the great erup-
tion, dug and found it. Who knows
but that 1900 years ago a peasant
dug a well near Psmpeii and found
painted chamber, and that the
wise men of that city were invest;-

A Scene on the Border.

One of the most startling and roman
tic featares of border life occurred re-
Gently on the Wild Horse Prairie, thirty
miles north of Los Angeles, when a ban'
of wild horses under the lead of mob.
sorrel stallion, came galloping over the
plain to reconnoitre company of sur:
veyors engaged in making survey OF
the tract. The band dashed toward Cap.
tain Keller and his party Of surveyors
till within about 500 feet, when the lead
er halted in a grandly proud and defiant
manner, with neck curved, nostrils dis
tended, erect, and tail on dress parade,
and all the band ranged themselves on
each side of him like squadron of cal
vary in battle charge. After surveying
the scene for q few moments the leader
galloped proudly away followed by the
band in most graceful and dignihed
manner. The scene was most romantic,
and the picture of the lordly leader with
his most obedient subjects in their fleet
and graceful notions, was worthy of an
artists pencil. There was another band
of wild horses on the same prairie under
the leadership of dark mahogony bay
stallion, with black name, tail and knees
In this band there are two white horses,
while the rest are bay and sorrel mainly
Few people are aware that at the North
ern base of Sierra Madra, only thirty
miles from this city. wild horses roam in
their native beauty and crop the rich
grasses that grow on Wild Horse Prairie
Yet such is the fact, and their slick ap'
pearance and graceful motions are the
admiration of all beholders.-Los Angele'

"God Bless the Baby"

A big man and smaller one went into
Mr.. Harington's store last night and
asked to look at some clothing. Mr.. Har:
ington himself waited upon the visitors
and was showing them various lines OF
goods when the door leading to his resi-:
dence in the rear of the store opened and
in came on run baby daughter of the
Harrington family. The little one.came
in hurrying to escape her mother, and
fell over a box. Mr.. Harrington left the
customer and went to rescue the baby.
After the little one was quieted and
placed on the floor he resumed his busi-
ness. but, in minute she fell over ranother
box and apparently hurt herself. he
left the customer again and looked after
the child.
At this the man turned to his compan.
ion aud said: "Let's go out OF here.
amt looking for nursery"
The proprietor heard the remark and
was not slow to respond. He said that
The had lived fifty.two years and done
twenty years of business, and had had
10000 customers, but he had never had
but two Harrington babies, and this was
the only one left. BE could get along
without the customer and the sale of a
suit of clothes to him, but be couldn't
get along without the Harrington baby,
and be didn't care how soon the customer
skipped"
The man who was looking at the pro-
prietor with mild establishment at first,
when the story was finished had his
handkerchief out, was wiping his eyes,
and reaching his hand out to MIR. Har-
ington exclaimed, Partner, God bless
the baby" He couldn't do too much,
and it is needless to say they parted as
friends.

Aerial Navigation.

This great problem has been solved, if
the French journals are 10 be believed.
Captain Bernard, at Muedon, France,
succeeded with a cigar.shaped balloon in
navigating the air for four hours that is,
he was enable to work against the wind
on very calm day. His motive power
was electricity, stored in Siemens accu'
mulator of ten.horse power. This is the
most important news of the century. 1t
is now l0l years since the Montgollier
brothers ascended into the atmosphere
by means of hot air. Since their time,
there have been hundreds of thousands
of ascensions but the only Improvements
on the first one have been the substitution
of hydrogen gas, and the use of mechan-
ical contrivances in the construction Of
the balloons. But until Captain
Benard's experiment at Muedon, every
air vessel has been at the mercy of the
winds. They were so large and light,
and afforded so great surface to the air
currents, that they could not be controll.
ed. 1t has long been suspected that
electricity would solve the problem, be.
cause it can furnish power with very
little weight. This is rendered possible
by the accumulators of Siemens, in which
the electricity is, as it were, stored as in
a reservoir. The defect of this motor,
however, is the speedy exhaustion of the
power, and hence only short journeys can
be undertaken but, according to the
proverb, it is the tirst step that costs.
Once establish the fact that an air vessel
can be moved directly or obliquely
against tie wind, and the inventive
minds of all civilized nations will be set
to work to perfect the air ship.
From this time forth the most ingenl.
Gus minds OF every civilized nation will
have all the capital they require to make
practical air ship. A few successful
flights will start literally thousands of
men in every country in aeral enterprises.
At first, of course, only short voyages
will be undertaken. 1t will be an expen-
sive mode of conveyance for many years,
and will at first be mere toy, but event
ually it will change the face of the
world. There will be no spots on the
globe inaccessible to man. The South
as we'll as the North Pole will yield up
its secrets. Dark continents will disap.
pear, and every savage tribe and nation
will be under the control Of civilized
powers. Cities will be built on hill and
mountain tops. The human race, like
the birds, will become migratory, inhab.
iting the warm regions in winter and the
cooler zones in summer. Indeed, the
Imagination is staggered at the possibil-
ities of aerial navigation.

Switzerland is the only country in

Not infrequently woman and a COW

be sure, with whip as he walks beside
them.

The Spreading Adder.

How many readers know what o
spreading adder is? And how many of
those who have killed one know that he
will play possum {? How many of them
can say that they have seen a spreading
adder bite? For the benefit of all who
have not seen this snake, or paid any
special attention to him further than to
hit him on the head with stick, I will
tell a few things about him. l have
killed q number of snakes at various
times, and have generally worried them
a great deal to make them fight, and the
spreading adder is the only snake that l
could never induce to strike; and a more
hideous snake could hardly be found.
A short, stumpy fellow, rarely more than
two feet long, he gets about very slowly.
In color he much resembles water snake,
but he will change his color considerably
when brought to bay. This is the brown
adder; the black adder have not heard
of in this country.) But his peculiarly
lies in tactics when in close quarters. If
on meeting one you move toward him
slowly, he will generally proceed to take
himself out of the way as fast as posi-
BILE; if you rake him back with stick
he will turn and show fight. Stretching
out his ribs until those on the opposite
sides of his body form straight line, lie
makes himself a good deal like a leather
strap in. general shape. Half coiling
himself, and raising his head and open.
ing his great three 'cornered mouth, he
presents an appearance very trying to
weak nerves. When in this position he
will hiss like goose, and look like very
imp. of the pit. But those who know
him know all this is mere bravado, and
laugh at the poor FOOLS efforts to scare
his enemy away. 1t is no question of
"dog eat dog" but merely question Of
which is the worst scared, you are the
snake. You may now poke sticks in his
mouth aud push him about; he will not
bite, but merely raise his head-a little
more, and blow and hiss 4 little harder.
If you do not leave pretty 5000, he will.
But do not let him get away; keep him
back, and worry him. AS soon as he
finds it impossible to escape, he will pre-
to nd to bite himself, then roll, and twist,
nd squirm in great apparent agony for
minute or two, then turn on his back,
seemingly dead. You can push him
about and throw him around as you
please he is as limp and lifeless as q
dish.rag. But hold little fire to his
tail, and you will find be is not as dead
as he would like to have you think. If,
as soon as he turns on his back, you go
off and leave him, he will turn over and
get away on pretty short notice. I would
not advise you to take hold of him, as it
may be when he refuses tc bite stick
that be is merely waiting tor chance at
something he can hurt.--T 0. L.. in

Marriage In Georgia.

Recently runaway couple applied TO
a popular Justice of the Peace to be
married. The J. P. did not have form
of ceremony with him and as time was
precious he proceeded to tie the knot off
hand thus:
"You, Gus Keelin, do solemnly swear
that to the best of your knowledge an
belief you take this yer woman ter have
an ter hold for yerself, yer heirs, exek.
yerters, administrators, and assigns, fer
YOU an the use an behoof forever?"
~ do" answered the groom.
"You, Anna Bowlin, take this yer man
for yer husband, to hev an to hold for.
ever; and you do further swear that you
are lawfully seized in fee simple, are free
from all incumberance, and hev good
right to sell and convey to said grantee
yerself, yer heirs, administrators and
assigns ?" -
ri do" said the bride rather doubtful
'"Well, Gus" said the Squire, "that'll
be about dollar'n fifty cents"
"Are we narried?" asked the other.
"Not by q darned sight yer amt"
quoth the Justice with emphasis, but the
fee comes in here"
After some fumblipg it was produced
and handed to the "Court," who examin-
ed it to make sure that it was all right,
and then pocketed it and continued.
"Know all men by these presents that
1 being in good health and of sound
disposin' mind, in consideration of q
dollar and fifty cents to me in hand paid,
the receipt whereof is hereby acknowl-
edged, do and by these presents have
declared you man and wife during good
behavior and until otherwise ordered by

New Styles.

Persons who do not habitually read the
metropolitan papers of the country have
meagre idea of the amount of social
crimes now prevailing. The whole coun-
try appears to be in whirl of demoral-
ization. The Troy Times, casting about
for reasons of this, concludes finally that
it must be traced to the loose discipline
of parents. Our contemporary says:
'tIt has become 80 that lover nova.
days would appear ridiculous were he
to follow the chivalrous methods OF the
olden time and deferentially kiss his
lady's hand, or before he begins his suit,
respectfully ask permission of her pa
rents. To-day he begins by clasping her
around the waist, and ends by fooling
the old man and marrying her in secret.
The young women are too ready to see
the tinsel on the outside, and scan but
little the heart beneath. The dress
rather, than the man is the object of
alteration. The seclusion of the home
circle is not the usual place where the
girl makes the acquaintance of one who
is to be her companion in life. 1t is on
the evening promenade, when he casual
ly invites her to ice cream or oysters.
The old folks no longer sit in the parlor
and help the young lady to entertain her
new acquaintance. They 60 away and
the two cit together with the light turned
down. 1t is no longer the son of the old
lifelong neighbor who makes an alliance
with the beautiful daughter it is trav'
cling dude or spruce coachman who acts
the bewitching part. 1t is the play OF
Frou Frou through and through. Light
hearted frivolity at first, fun and frolic
for one or two acts, then desertion, ruin,
murder and suicide sometimes, but al.
ways wasted life and an early death"
Plain language, but true. The old
fashioned way is the better one. 1t may
not be so romantic, but it brings more
happiness to parents and daughters. The
women are what the men would have
them. The girls should prefer single
blessedness thousand times to marriage
with a human brute. The Troy Times
speakes no doubt of manners that obtain
in its part of the Union. 1t is to be
hoped that the South is more healthily
situated.--Augusta Chronicle.
