Not Irue Hospitality.

The editor OF the Philadelphia Times re-
ceived a greeting the other day in New
Orleans that he in no wise anticipated.
He little dreamed that his fame as a great
editor and astute politician had spread to
the utmost confines Of the sunny South,
and that his independent action on all
matters OF public interest should have
made him the object Of so much distin-
guished consideration. The polite atten-
tions bestowed on the Northern editor
must have embarrassed the naturally
modest newspaper man, for they con-
sisted in nothing else than libel suit for
100000, brought against him by the Lou-
isiana Lottery Company, whose prac-
tees he condemned in his paper. An cd
itor whilo ut home is not wholly surprised
to receive a notice that some person he
has.criticized severely has differed from
his opinion and brought suit against him.
It is one Of the luxuries Of the home life
ofthe editor. But whenhe lays down the
cares Of the sanctum and seek little rest
he anticipates that he will meet with
pleasures that arc not to BIO found at home.

roRPRtrFp LANDS.

some suggestions on tlke Subject from
Kanawha co,tnty.
10 as Editor n ne iateilipdea':
srR.-The Appellate Court has recently
adiudged, and / think rightly, that land
forfeited and purchased by the State, and
not redeemed in the time specified in the
constitution, becomes the absolute pro-
perry Of the State and must therefore be
sold, &c.
It is then manifest that no act Of the
Legislature can defeat this absolute for
feitnre and the sale provided for is law
hi. II the constitution could be so con-
strued as to give the Legislature the power
directly or indirectly to defeat the sale,
then The constitution has provided a
means TO defeat Its purposes. The effect
81 this decision or rather OF the constitu.
tion IL tremendous. Thousands of small
tracts OF land, junior patents, &c, are
saved and made good to their owners. II
Il he possible to diyest them OF their titles
acouired by the forfeiture OF the large sur
yeys, II ought not be done. They must be
protected. At the same time, the owners
Of large bodies OF land known as the wild
land, should be protected 50 far as can be
done, without prejudice to the owners OF
the small tracts, whose titles have been
made good by the forfeiture Of the large
tracts. Many small tracts, and, in fact,
large farms have also become forfeited
and the liens on them put at hazard.
These should be secured to the owners by
an amendment Of the constitution.
Without enlarging I would suggest.
l. An act OF the Legislature suspending
the sale OF all tracts OF land of 1000 acres
or less forfeited and delinquent for =
years. And an amendment to the Consti.
tuition authorizing the owners Of tracts OF
land Of ! 600 acres or less, that have be.
come forfeited to redeem the same in -
years, and legaliSing the redemption Of all
tracts as above, made since the adoption
OF the Constitution. And in this connec.
ton let me say that tho percentage
allowed the Commissioners OF School
Lands is oppressive. 1t is ten percent;
five percent is enough,
Again, IL should 30 provided that when
the present owner buys the land forfeited
al the sale, the Commissioners OF School
Lands shall only have percentage on
the actual amount due. s.

popular among managers, OF making
all Of their stage ircsses and costumes
in their own thcaters. For long
while two or three theatrical COSTUME
crs had monopoly Of the business.
and they made money rapidly. When
comic opera was the rage, four or live
years ago, the number OF costumes
that were needed BY opera companies
WIS extraordinary, and as the cos
tunes were flimsy and pcrishablc, the
costnmers reaped rich harvest.
THE blindness of theatrical man.
ayers regarding their costumers' sine
cure" said the manager Of we'll
known opera company while talking
on the subject, twas remarkable when
we look ut it now. It seems to be q
rule Of managers to avoid any dealings
with their employees or the people
who supply their wants. The mana
ger Of = theatre nowadays. instead of
attending to his business himself, has
middlemen to act for him in almost
every capacity. He pays stage man.
ager literally for one sort Of work and
business manager lavishly for anoth-
or. The New York theatres nre in
tested with managers Of every degree,
and after the funds of the box office
have been distributed, the man who is
nominally the manager of the theatcr
finds he gets about one half Of what
ought to be his share. Theatrical
managers found it was very pleasant
thing to call in professional costumers
and order the costumes of any particu-
lar opera or piece in lump, and they
did It for many years before they
found out how much it was costing
them. They would send for some
well-known costumcr, and say: How
much will you costume my whole
troupe, principals and chorus, for the
opera of Patience or Mascot lOr?'
The cOstumer would name o good,
solid figure, and that was the end Of
the matter, as far as the manager was
concerned. until pay day arrived.
Very often. when the managers were
short of money, they gave the costum-
crs an interest in their productions,
and thus costumers got into the mama
gerial ranks. Many of them had
heavy pecuniary interests in comic
operas, and as Isay, they had q soft
thing OF it until one or two managers
began to figure up the expense Of cos
TUNES for which they had paid so Law
ishly. They found that they had been
paying 80 per cent. too much-ab0ut
so per cent. more for the work than it
would cost them to do it themselves.
Now nearly all the thcaters in New
York huv their own material aud
make their own costumes. and the re-
suit is that the professional costumers
have been hit very hard.''

!. Dahornian Warfare.

The system Of warfare" followed
By the Dahomians is the usual barbar-
Gus one Of surprise. When the king
declares war-a formality which he
carefully observes year after year-he
rarely tells even the chief ..cabocccrs'
the name Of the town no intends to at
tack. The army marches out, and
when within days journey or 50 Of its
unhappy objective point silence at pain
OF instant death 10 cnjoined, and no
fires are permitted to be lighted. All
stragglcrs are taken prisoners, and the
army is led through road cut through
the bush, and not along the regular
highways. The town is surrounded in
dead Of night, and just before day break
q rush 10 made. and every man. woman
and child not killed in the melee is cap
tured, il possible, and sent to the Da-
hoinian capital, Attorney. where some
grace the succeeding custom (annual
sacrificial cercmonics), and others are
sent as slaves TO distant parts Of the
kingdom. Cannibalism, or something
that approaches it very nearly, enters
into the rites Of the ninth or concluding
ceremony Of the yearly custom. Four
men, known as the mcnduton, or can
nibals, each furnished with sharpcned
sticks BY way Of fork and knife, are
stationctk1n front Of the platform from
which the victims are thrown before de-
capitation. When the first captive is
bcheaded they take the body and cut
of pieces Of the flesh, which they rub
with palm oil and roast over fire
kindled in the square before the plat
form. The human flesh is then. skew
cred on the pointed sticks and carried
around before the crowd, after which
these ficnds parade before the state
prisoners. and 60 through the action 81
eating the sickening morscls. They
chew the human meat before the ter
riied captivcs, but do not swallow it;
and when they have worked upon th
fears Of the poor wrctchcs for a sufli-
cient time they retire, and splitting out
the chewcd flesh, take strong native
medicine, which acts like an emetic;
and it is to be sincerely hoped that the
dose is by no means stinted. Does j

The Greatest Heights Attained BY
Balloons.

The Greatest Heights Attained by
Mr.. Coxwell, the English eronaut,
and Mr.. Glaisher, the eminent
meetorologist, have made q number Of
high ascensions together. The most
remarkable Of these took place Septem-
Der 5. 1852. when they attained the
greatest altitude ever reached by man.
Mr.. Glaishcr estimates this to have
been between $1,000 and $1,000 feet,
or about seven miles. His last obsery-
alton made before the greatest eleva-
ton was reached. showed an altitude
of q, 900 feet. He then became in
sensible and SO remained for the space
of about seven minutes, the balloon
meanwhile ascending until it was
checked by MIR. Coxwell, who seized
tho valye-rope by his teeth, as his
hands were helpless.
September Is, 1904, N. Gay Lussac
reached q height of 22.977 feet his
ascension having been mace for
scientific purposes. Blanchard claimed
to have assembled to height of $4,000
feet. and Margat. Garnerin, Robertson,
and others have claimed to out do this,
but in most cases their balloons were
too small to have been able to carry
them SO high. Messrs. Rush and Green
ascendud to an altitude Of over $4,000
feet.

occupying their dull hours, they are
bent upon trying to destroy the Tumkur

mails. about fifty or sixty, form them
selvesinto two patches; the J range them
selves systematically, one half on one
rail and tho other half on the other.
They begin by first removing the earth
from the sides Of the rails. Then they
arrive at the difficulty Of nut and
bolts, which, though they examine them
very infinitely, they cannot get tvcr.
On the approach Of the up or down
train they wait till the engine is within
few yards, when. with the utmost
GOODNESS, they simply jump on one side
till the train has passed, and then re-
sumo their work. A remarkable in
stance occurred on one Of these Oc-
casions. Az the engine was approach
ing, the mokcys made their usual jumps.
with the exception Of one, who persisted
in remaining on the line, the engine BY
this time being very near. Five or six
monkeys, seeing the danger one Of their
number was In. made sudden rush and
dragged him of. some laying hold Of
him by the tail, others by the legs; any
how, they saved him. They arc now
