John Randolph's Dogs.
cleveland Leader.

John Randolph, of Roanoke, was as pecul-
lar when 1t came to dogs as he was m many
other respects Mr.. Henderson, the intelii-
gent barber under the American House,
lived in Richmond, Va when he was little
shsyer-he is a big one now, and a very good
one, by the way-and often saw old John,
and heard his piping voice. Randolph had
relatives in Richmond, and frequently drove
up from Roanoke to visit them. His car
riage was very large, very snowy, and very
much admired. 1t had great leather straps
for springs, and high seat in front for the
driver. When he came into Richmond Ran
dolph kicked up vast amount Of dust, and
people ran to the windows to see him pass.
Three horses dragged the carriage. The
leader WAS ridden by Jubs, q black man,
while John, the driver, sat on the seat an d
drove the other two. Randolph on such &C.
casions would lean back and gsze about him
the same IS il he had been king or con-
querer. Trailing behind the carriage were
five or Elk immense greybounds, who seemed
to recognize the pomp0sity Of thar situa.
Eon, for they turned up their noses at
the other dogs and said nothing. Juba was
invested with the exclusive care Of these
dogs, and as ordered by bis master to fur
nish them with clean plstes to eat from, and
With the hest steaks that the market afforded.
Under no circumstances would Randolph
permit HE dogs TO eat scraps from the table.
Their palates were tickIed with choice cuts,
and their thirst qUenched with rich milk.
Dos were very numerous in those days,
and men were paid premiums for catching
ard killing them. as the Randolph caravan
was approaching Richmond one day, the
hsn6somest dog IN the procession ran ahead
TO See what he could see. Presently be en-.
countered two catchers who threw a net over
bis head and then proceeded to tie a rope
around his neck. he whined and parked,
and JUba. hearing the c9mmotion. dug his
spurs into the TANKS of mis- leader, while
John cracked his who and the whole party,
Randolph, Juba and John, were borne alon g
on q run to the rescue. The catchers were
just about TO dissppearln the woods by the
side of the road with their prize when Ran
doIph drew up. Taking in the situation he
produced pistol and ordered the release OF
his dog The catchers complied at once,
wbeTeupon Randolph screamed out IL his
peculiarly shrill manner: "Juba, 0 Jubs,
fetch some water and wash the dog where
the poor white men bad hold of him"

BEAUFORT. April 27.-The new dredge
for BrOtherhood's phosphate works came
in an hour or two ago. She is real Behe-
moth in size, and had to be escorted by
three tugs, who carried her on down to
the works. Charleston has had the honor
of building her. Now it remains to be
seen whether her working capacity is
equal to her size. If it is, the phosphate
remains, now quietly rep0slng in the briny
deep, will soon ''see sights"
Our river has had a good many small
craft in it the past week. Parties of anna
teur fishermen have been chasing the
gay and festive drumtish down at Bay
Point. The Syren yacht from Charles ton
has also been here or a cruise.
DR.. KIdder, L. S. n, who has been on
visit to Beaufort, is ordered eff for duty
at Aspinwall. Lieut.. Braunsreichter,
stationed for some time past at the coal
ing station, has also received sailing
orders.
Bishop NorthrOp, of the Roman Catholic
church in Charleston, was TO have adj
ministered the rite of confirmation yester-
day at the Catholic chucn here, but was
prevented from coming by indispOsitiOn.
Sailing parties are in vogue now. The
water, the sky, the sailboats and the
sailors all make lovely picture.

AS ghosts seem to be fashionable at
present, we in Beaufort wish it under
stood that we have them tool 1t is a
highly respectable thing to have a claim
to a ghost, and it isn't every town that
can boast of one. Some of our houses are
haunted. Unfortunately one OF the haunt
ed houses was burned down not long ago.
Whether the ghosts were burned up in it,
or whether they still linger about the
spot, is question that has not yet been
solved. 1t is to be hoped that they are
still there, as it makes it much more in-
teresting. LOOKER-0N.

ELoRIDA,s CAPITAL.
BIOxham's Dec1ination - The Coming
Constitutional Convention.

Constitutional Convention.
TALLAHASSEE, FLA, April 29.-The
many friends of Ex-Governor BloXham
were gratifed that he received recogni-
ton at the hands of the national admins
tration, but the condition Of his health
and the severe climate of Bolivia, in adj
dition to the many Objectionable sur
roundings of a residence at La Paz, the
capital of Bolivia, forced him to decline
the mission to that country. Governor
BloXham has been a great sufferer this
past winter from pulmonary troubles, and
it is his purpose to spend the summer on
the Gulf coast, at st. Teresa, on James
Island, where many Tallahasseeans have
summer residences which they occupy a
few months eacl year.
1t was the recognition OF the hopeless
ness of electing Democrats to the consti-
tutional convention from this county
which prompted the executive committee
to resolve that it was ineXpedlent to
place candidates in the field. This must
not be construed into lukewarmness or
disinterestedness, for there are no people in
the State who more profoundly appreciate
the great Importance of having tirst-class
men to frame the organic law than the
people OF this county. So far as localrep-
resentation is concerned the intelligent
and property holding portion of the popu-
lation is completely at the mercy of the
colored people, VINO are mostly ignorant
and shittless, but who are about 1900 in
the majority.
The cause of education among the col
ored people is receiving much encourage
ment from the State. Normal schools for
the instruction of teachers are now in
progress in the different portions of the
Moi RnCgpIl the SnnpriDfQp-
dent of public instruction, is doing his
whole duty towards improving the school
system of the entire State.
The crops in this county are looking
well and the prospect for a good yield is
very flattering.

a few days ago twoenterprising colored
men chartered train in Atlanta TO take
an excursion TO ToccOa Fails, and Tues
day morning at $3.50 O'Clock was the hour
Tor the excursion to start. The price to
be paid for the train was $500, and this
amount was to be derived from the sale
OF tickets, the price of which was placed
at 81 each. When the hour for the train
TO start arrived the money was all in
hand with the exception of $50. The con-
ductOr of the train demanded the full 5000,
but the originatOrs of the excursion could
not raise the tull amount. The necessary
number Of tickets had not been sold,
and the conductor would not start
unless the money was paid in advance.
The cars, which stood near
the Markham House, were crowded with
darkies and the hour of departure bad ar
rived, but there was not enough money
to pay for the train. One of the negroes
who got up the excursion mounted the
platform of car which stood alongside
the excursion train and announced the
state OF affairs. He said he was ready TO
refund all the money he had received from
the sale of tickets, and having declared
the excursion off, requested all who held
tickets to come forward aud get their
money. There was a grand rush ter the
speaker, and the entire excursion was
wroth. Some of the burly holders OF
tickets talked about thrashlng the man,
and would most probably have done so
had it not been for police interference.
Three policemen soon reached
the spot and lost no time in
getting the man into an empty passenger
car, from the window Of which he re-
deemed the tickets as fast as they were
brought to him. In his excitement, how
ever, he was not exact in the amounts he
refunded. Ii one instance he refunded
So TO party who had only paid in 81. In
consequence of these errors, his money
gave out before all the tickets had been
redeemed. When this fact became known
there was more talk about fiogging him,
and in order to be protected ne hurried to
the police station, where he remained
until the crowd dispersed.

KNITTED TO THE HEART.
An Old Homicide on a Spot Where a
Church Now Stands.

From TIE MilledgsBiAe Union.
The lot on which the Catholic church
now stands was at one time occupied by
the Lafayette hall, large brick hotel on
the corner of Hancock and Jefferson
streets, running the whole length of the
church lot on both streets, with a front
on each. 1t was burned IN the winter of
1853, in consequence of which the young
people of Milledgeville under % years of
age have no knowledge of it save that
which has been told them by older
heads. This old building was named
for the Marquis de Lafayette, that
ifustTious Frenchman Of revolutionary
memory, and in its palmy DAYS was a
famous old tavern. for il must be borne in
mind that there were no such things as
hotels in this part Of the country at the
period about which we are writing. A
man named Ball was the barkeeper, and
also attended TO the office. In those days
the Office and bar OF a hOtel-Or more
properly speaking, Of tayern-were
in the same room, and generally the
clerk Of the one was also the tender
Of the other. In a room Of this old
tavern on an Inflated day, about
8 O'Clock in the evening Ball, and
Bennett, a noted gambler, had a mortal
encounter. On the evening previous they
had had n difficulty about a gambling
transaction which ended at that time
without any serious result; but Ball was
not satisfied, and made threats In regard
10 Bennett which were very soon COM
municated to him, by one or more OF
those worthy philanthropisis who are
never so supremely happy as when busily
engaged IN stirring up strife. Bennett
accordingly prepared himself. He went
to Fogle's, the jeweler, who preceded
Mr. Otis Childs in the jewelry
business, and purchased long,
single-bladed knife. the blade OF which
was about 8 inches long. Ball, who at
times drank, became intoxicated on the
day after the first difficulty and about
O'Clock In the evening went TO Bennetps
room. ] believe that there was a rumor
at the time 10 the effect that he was de-
cOyed there through some agency Of Ben
nett. At any rate Bennett was fully ap-
prised Of his coming, and was fully pre-
pared for that which be had determined

Tho Fruit ProhIarn

The Marysville appeal says: The result
of the Fruit-GrowerS' Convention at San
Francisco was an organization for the ship
ment and sale of the green fruit of this
State. 1t put the best men in the State at
its head, and il will undoubtedly, in time,
prove a success. 1t insures cheap rates and
cheap handling, and that means an incom-
parably larger market in the East, and an
ineomparably larger area, here i'll Califor-
MIA, devoted to orchards and vines We
believe that the result of this Fruit Grow
ers' Convention means that in the near
future the great valleys and the warm gold
belt of the foothills are TO be covered with
orchards and vineyards to the exclusion of
nearly every other agricultural product.
Charles w. Reed, the orchardist and nurs-
eryman of Yolo county, who has spent
thirty years of his life in raising fruit in
this State, and who has been ship
ping fruit East for fifteen years, says
that now not more than five per
to eat our fruit Even the four-dollar-a-
day hotels cannot put it upon their tables
lie says that when the reduced rates of
freight take effect, and reasonable commits
sions for handling prevail, then the other
| ninety-tive per cent. of people there can
eat our fruit. When this takes place.
| he SAYS, all the land in the State. adapted
| to fruit-growing, cannot supply the Eastern
markets. Mr.. Reed is careful, thought
/ full man, and weighs his words before be
utters them. Let our readers think what
all this means for this State 1t means
that these great brown wheat fields are
soon to be too valuable to grow grain on.
They will be divided and sold in 20-acre
| fields TO fruit-growers, who will build
| houses, barns, storehouses, etc, upon
them. Tramp blanket carrying labor will
disappear from the State, and its place s
thrifty producing population will appear
| Where there is one family now, there viii
then be twenty. Wheat will be grown fol-
home supply only. The time may come
+, when these great wheat counties will buy

other places, twenty miles apart, will BIZ
fruit-supplying points shipping carload lot:
every day in the fruit season. All these

dreds OF young people in their work. The
railroads will be taxed TO their fullest ca
pacity IN fruit-carrying. Several trains
daily viii start East loaded with lusciou:
freigh,s. The local business of these road,
will be infinitely increased. This State
with Cinnamon banished, will be the mos
prosperous of the Union. We regard tn,
time of this fruit convention as red lette
days of our history. Now let our peopl,
sow, that they may reap the sure haryes
before them.
