Senator MorRan's Start.

Senator Morgan, of Alabama, had a
hard struggle when he began the prac-
tice of law. His single hung unno-
ticed for many months. Becoming des-
perate one day, he packed up his few
books and started for the depot, deter
mined to abandon his profession and go
to Texas. He had reached the foot of
the stairs which led to his Office when
he was accosted by an elderly man who
inquired where John Morgan's law

An Ano1ocv.

George the Third was popular with
the English people. They represented
him for the purity Of his domestic life,
and called him "Farmer George" on &C
count Of his plebeian ways and his good
nature.
The King loved to mingle Familiarity
with his subject and cared little for
court etiquette which made a hedge
about him.
One day, while returning from hunt
ing, the King entered into conversation
with his ne-merchant, Mr.. Cabornel.
The two rode side by side a long way,
much to the distress of Lord Walsing-
ham, the gentleman in waiting.
Watching his opportunity, his lord
ship took the the merchant aside and
whispered something in his ear.
"What'sthat? What's that Walsingham
has been saying to you?" saked the
good-humored King, seeing that the
merchant appeared annoyed.
81 find, sir" said the merchant,
"that I have been unintentionally guilty
of disrespect to your Majesty. MY lord
informs me that I ought to take of my
hat whenever I address your Majesty.
But your Majesty will please to notice
that my hat is fastened to my wig and
my wig is fastened to my head, and
I am on the back Of spirited horse.
So that if anything goes off, we must
all go off togather."
The King laughed heartily at the
apology, and babe the merchant keep

Tho Parricide in MOBILES County, MINI.


William Riley, the cn-year-eld boy, who
killed his father and concealed the body in a
straw pile, Feb 2, was caught by Sheriff Mil
Ter, three miles east Of Adrian, and brought to
Adrian, Mimi. His sister, aged thirteen, has
confessed, and says her BROKER had been
whipped BY thar, father ne previous night,
and he rose early the follosm morning, and
shot his father through had while he lay
asleep in bed; and they left him dead in in
n night When h aeSt dragseG the Sody by ths
feet out doors and upon the straw pile, and COW
cred it in hole they had dug some two weeks
previous. The girl says further that the boy
has frequently prepared to kill their father
with an ak, but she dissuadcd him, and that he
recently mixed poison in glass of milk, which
his father drank, however, without inj ury.
The boy hid the bloody bed-clothes under the
house after removing the body, and reported to
the neishbors that his father had gone away
without saying anything about returning. Ri
considered upright in his business transactions.
The coroner says no Ak had been used on the
body.
-Four yeares age Martin Siley came from Eng
land with his family, wife and three children,
and settled a few miles from Adrian Three
years ago the wife died, and left Martin with a
boy, William, sixteen years old, and two girls,
eleven and nine years of age. Sheriff Miller
received word that Riley was missing since the
evening of Feb l. when he rode to his own
home with neighbor who saw him enter, this
being the last seen of him alive by any one out
side the household. After he was missed the
boy, William, took the management of affairs,
and attracted attention by buying things in
Adrian, and attempting to trade young stock
with Senator Crosby, at his stock
farm; also, by contradictory sto-
ries as to the disappearance Of his
father The sheriff and co11ntv ATTORNEY went
to Adrian, and to them the elder girl confessed
to the murder, as follows: Some two weeks
previous the decd had been resolved upon, and
a hole ten feet deep was cut down into straw
steak. After the father got home, on Feb. LIST,
and while still in bed on the morning of the End,
William shot him. He and the elder sister then
stripped the body, tied the head in grain sack
and dragged it to the straw stack, where they
tumbled it in and there it remained. The
sheriff has all three children in custody,

Abuse Of Rich Men.

1t is about time that justice was done
in fiction to our rich men. They have
Jared rather badly in our literature
until the advent of the new school who
would have us believe that only the
weak and mean things in common life
are fit to be noted as foils for the calm,
sweet life that floats above tin the
mystic realm where millions are no
more than pennies to the poor. There
has been strange propensity on the
part of the American novelist hereto
fore to almost make war on the very
richest rich of our land. He has de-
lighted in tracing them back to the
dunghin, in showing by what arts they
rose, and, noting the effect of these
things upon the tinsel lives of upper
tendon. That day is gone, and we are
evidently nearing the millennium when
the only people worth knowing will be
those whose fortunes are writ in six fig
ures. We are glad to see it. It is time
they had their innings. They cannot
be too good, though they may be too
many, and it is perhaps time that this
age Of mammon lovers should begin to
shape and fashion their golden calves

Scientific Scintillations.

A vessel rs feet long by 5 feet breadth
of beam was recently launched at st.
Petersburg. She is built of paper.
Her draught of water is very small, and
she is we'll adapted for sailing Oh shall
low rivers. Her motive power is steam.
While favoring the increased atten-
ton paid to the physical training Of
young and growing girls, the Lancet
believes that the extension of competi
tive athletic sports to QUIZ girl schools
would be great mistake.
Prof A. Nantier has been tyring the
effect Of various manures upon potatoes,
beets, and maize. Super-phosphate and
precipitated phosphate we're most effica-
cious in increasing the yield of pota-'
toes. Precipitated phosphate proved
i'm every respect more beneficial than
the super-phosphate with beets. The
best crops of maize were raised from
land treated with the farm-yard.
In the treatment Of eczema of the
scalp in infants, DR.. LASER employs
the following formula: Salicylic acid
one part, tincture Of benzoin two parts,
and vaseline fifty parts. A certain
quantity of this is smeared over the
scalp two or three times day, after
the infants head has been washed with
soap and water. To soften the scabs
and to facilitate the cleaning of the
scalp, DR.. LASER recommends the en-
ployment of oil containing per cent.
Of salicylic acid.
Those who have never seen the much
talked-of Dynamite explosive will be
interested to know that it looks very
much like moist brown sugar. Nitro
glycerine, which is formed by the &C
ton of nitric acid upon glycerine, at a
low temperature, is the active agent in
dynamite, but is mixed with some
absorbent substance to render it safer
to handle than the liquid glycerine.
The absorbent material thus used is a
silicious earth-a fine white powder
composed of the remains of infusoria,
and resembling powdered chalk; this
takes up two OF three times its weight
of the nitro-glycerine without becoming
pastry, and the ingredients are easily
mixed, leaden vessels and wooden
spoons being used to avoid dangerous
friction. When fire is applied to this
mass it burns with a strong flame, with
out any explosion but when ignifed by
a decorating fuse, or even by sudden
blow, it's explosive force is tremendous.

Precious Stones in the United
.,... States. -

Springfield Republican. .-.:*s :"l*e
George F, Kunz has contributed to
'"The Mineral Resources of the United
States" published by the Government,
an article on American gems and pre-
cious stones. Systematic mining for
gems and precious stones is carried on
only at Paris, Me-, and Stony Point,
N. c., but they are gathered on the sur
face In many places, as sapphires in
Montana, moss agates in Colorado and
agates at Lake Superior.
Some eight different minerals OCCUR
in the United States which have been
used as gems. Twelve of these occur
in the United States only. Diamonds
ore not mined in this country, although
they have occasionally been found at a
number Of localities. A large diamond
was found at Manchester, opposite Rich
mond, Va, by laborer employed in
grading one Of the streets. It was an
octahedron, and weighed after it was
cut over ten carats. It was worth ST.
600 before cutting
The principal localities for sapphires
and rubies are in New Mexico, Arizona
and Southern Colorado, where they oc-
cur in the sand, often on ant hills.
Garnets occur in the same region, about
$500 worth of cut stones being annually
produced.
1t is estimated that the value of the
tourmalines taken from Mount Mica,
Me-, is between $4,000 and $65, 900.
TourmaGne and hiddenite are regularly
mined. at Stony Point, N. c., some
$500 worth having already been sold.
Rock crystal is gathered and cut in
large quantities, the sales at different
localities probably amounting to $40,-
900 annually. Much of it is cut for
jewelry, as Lake George OF Cape May
diamonds. The clear crystal for opti-
cal purposes is almost entirely Brazil
i;sl, as the good fnitely more inexhaus-
tible than the famed cedars of Lebanon.
Such a country, covering as it does al
area of more than half million square
miles, having a long coast line, good
harbors, many habitable islands, mines
Of the precious and useful metals, for
ests without end, fisheries and great
rivers, albeit it's depths are as yet I'M
explored, is not to be condemned out of
hand as the Kansas senator condemns it.

Mr.. Thomas G.. Appleton, of Boston,
says: II suppose you are familiar with
the story of Mr.. Phillips marriage?
How gentleman asked Mr.. Sumner to
act as escort to young lady who was
going to the convention at Albany, and
Mr.. Sumner, being unable to go, re.
signed in favor of Mr.. Phillips. How
Mr.. Phillips acted as her escort, and
lost his heart to her before he got back.
How he called upon her often in this
city, but was not admitted, owing to
her feeble health, but finally he almost
broke his way to her and offered her his
hand. q She said she would never marry
a man unless he would swear eternal en-
nifty to slavery but it was not necessary
for Mr.. Phillips to take that oath; he
had already sworn it in his heart. So
they were married, and the story Of low
ing devotion and perfect sympathy is as
much . matter Of public knowledge as
such asacred subject should be-

to write some dispatches. He wrote few let
ters and took some postage stamps out of his
dor of Fifth avenue and Twenty third street to

was standing at the curb, and Mr.. Grafton
asked him if he would direct him to the Aston

Shocking Double Murder.

A dreadful murder has been committed at
the village of Winnetka, sixteen miles north of
Chicago. The victims were Mr.. and Mrs.
James L. Wilson, and aged highly respectable
and reported to be wealthy couple, who had no
children and lived alone at the residence, a
block and half north Of the depot, Mrs. Will
son a paralytic and had been for some
years an invalid confined to her bed Wednes-
day morning, the 18TH, an entrance
was effected through a
window, and, on going to the library, found the
old gentleman lying motionless on the floor be-
hind the stove horribly mangled Deep gashes
were found about his head, and the carpet and
furniture were soaked with blood. On the floor
not far from him lay the sword that his son had
worn in the army, during the war, and there
was every indication that he had been killed
with it. The party Immediately rushed up stairs
to the bedroom Of Mrs. Wilson, whom they
found dead in her bed. Almost hacked to pieces
with the same weapon, being frightful1y cut
and stabbed, both on the head and on the body:
Mr.: Wilson was between seventy and eighty
years old and the brother of the late Judge
John NJ. Wilson, of Chicago. He owned the
house in which he lived and was reputed to be
