1t is said that Robert Burns's fa-
nous song, "Comin' through the
Rye" did not have reference to a
rye-feld, but to the small river Rye,
in Ayrshire, which could be forded.
In wading through, however, the
lassies had to hold up their petticoats,
and it was favorite pastime of Rob-
bic Burns and mischievous compan-
ions to lie in wait for the lassies
coming through the Rye" When
they got TO mid-stream the laddies
would wade out and snatch a kiss
from the lassies, who were unable to
resist without dropping their clothes
in the water.

Mark Twain's Difficulties in Becoming
a Confederate.

In his paper in the December Cen
fury, "The Private History of a Cam
paign that Failed" Mark Twain
says:
"Out West there was good deal of
confusion in mems minds during the
first months of the great trouble-a
good deal of unsettledness, of leaning
first this way, then that, then the
other way. 1t was hard for us to get
our bearings. / call to mind an in
stance of this. | was plotting on the
Mississippi when the news came that
South Carolina had gone out of the
Union the goth of December, 1860.
My pilOt-mate was a New Yorker.
He was strong for the Union; so was
l But he would not listen to me with
anypatience; my loyalty was smirch-
ed, to his eye, because my father had
owned slaves. / said, in palliation
of this dark fact, that / had heard my
father say, some years before he died,
that slavery was a great wrong, and
that he would free the solitary negro
he then owned if he could think it
right to give away the property of
the family when he was so straight
ened in means. My mate retorted
that a mere impulse was nothing
anybody could pretend to a good i'm
pulse; and went on decrying my
Unionism and libeling my ancestry.
A month later the secession atmos-
phere had considerably thickened on
the Lower Mississippi, and l became
a rebel so did he. Wewere together
in New Orleans, the 26th of January,
when Louisiana went out of the
Union. He did his full share of the
rebel shouting, but was bitterly OPP
posed to letting me do mine. He
said that 1 came of bad stock-of a
father who had been willing to set
slaves free. In the following sum-
mer he was plotting Federal gun
boat and shouting for the Union
again, and was in the Confederate
army. l held his note for some Dor
rowed money. He was one of the
most upright men ] ever knew but
he repudiated that note without hest
tation, because l was a rebel, and the
son of a man who owned slaves"

Cure Your Cough.


A cough should not be neglected,
as it often leads to consumption. For
the cure of all lung disorders no rem
edy will compare to "Mansfeld's
Hungarian Balsam for the Lungs"
Thousands have been cured by it,
physicians prescribe it, and it is the
king of all lung medicines. If you
have consumption, try tit has

EAST POINT, GA, April 2, 1884.
My wife has been afflicted with terrible
form of scrofula for over fifteen years. Ply
sicians exhausted their skill, and numerous
patent medicines were used without benefit.

failed, attended with debility, emaciation,

much diseased and painful (some calling it
white swelling), with sleepless nights and
a general feeling of horror. Some friend
said that B. B. b. would cure her. procur-

establishment of all who knew her the recov-
cry was rapid and complete. 1t acted as a
powerful tonic, gave her a splendid appe-

bottles did the work. The action of B. B. b
was decidedly quick, and the medicine cost
but little. advise my friends to use II as a

His body and limbs had no less than four

all doctors and 100 bottles of the most popu-

any relief. He secured B. B. B., the con.

w. Matieu Williams remarks that
the popular notion that mosquitoes
are chiefly resident in tropical and
subtrOpical countries is quite a mis-
take, the home of their mightiest
legions being within and about the
Arctic Circle. On coasting trips to
the North Cape even, vessels are
invaded by maddening swarms at
every stopping place. 1t is reported
that in Alaska they form clouds so
dense that it is impossible for sports
men to aim at objects beyond. Native
dogs are sometimes killed by them,
and even the great grizzly bear is
said to be occasionally blinded by
their attacks and finally starved in
consequence.

THE Mormons of Utah are taking a

THE Mormons of Utah are taking a
course hat is liable to bring down upon
them the wrath of Uncle Sam in a way
that will teach them a good lesson. On
Saturday morning, July 4, when the
Gentiles cast their eyes about they
found the American flag at half-mast on
all the public buildings under Mormon
control. An effort was made by the U.
S. marshal and others to have the flag
run up to it's proper position, but the
owners Of the buildings refused to listen
to the request and the police, all of
whom are ''saints" proved apathetic and
inclined to interfere. The insult was
evidently the result of a preconcerted
arrangement, as such a thing as a dozen
or more flags at half mast could scarce
ly have occurred through accident. The
country is getting about. tired of this
nonsense. In 1861 there was an attempt
made to haul down the American flag
and it took five years of war to fix it
back in its position, but it is at the mast
head now, and is there to stay. There
are probably some of the men who tried
to keep it down during the civil war who
would enjoy whipping the Mormons into
a sense of their situation and the duties
they owe the American government. In
fact two of the parties who went to the
city hall to find out the reason for the
flag being half-masted are ex-confeder-
ates. When the demand was made that
the flag be raised on the city hall it was
met by a fiat refusal, and on the party
attempting to raise it about a dozen po-
licemen made a rush for them and there
came near being a riot OIL the spot. The
police officers said that any man who at
tempted to raise the flag would be shot.
Finally some of the flags we're run up,
but the rest remained down. Such an
outrage should not be permitted to oc-
cur again, but the polygamists must be
taught that it will not be submitted to
and that an attempted repetition of it
will cause a tempest which will wipe the
Mormon hierarchy out of existence as a
political factor within the limits of the
United States. These fellows have
not the slightest particle of patriotism
in their composition, but may be taught
some before they are many years older.

] WILSON, N. e., July 4.-Willie Sans,
! 6 year old son of a farmer living near
here, murdered his infant brother, of
whom he had been given charge, yester-
day. Some time ago he was taken to a
child funeral and manifested great in
terest in its burial which he did not
seem to understand. He has frequently
prattled about it and asked many ques-
tions as to how the child was got into
the coffin and when it would come out.
Yesterday, the child took his little
brother to the grave which was heal his
fathers home, and after scooping out a
grave in the sand By the side of a small
brook placed the infant in abox which
he had previously placed there, screwed
on the top and buried it, going through
the form of delivering a prayer and sing
ing a hymn. After he had filled the
tiny grave he stamped on it and slowly
went back home and told his mother of
his deed, of which he seemed very proud.
He said it was just like Mrs. Arthur
little baby's funeral.
The terrified mother fastened to the
spot and the grave was reopened and the
infant found dead, with its right arm
broken and it's skull crushed.

THE undersi gned, Committee of Di-
Il rectors of the Equitable Life AS.
surance Society of the United States,
appointed to formulate the views of the
Board on the advantages offered by the
Society to the public, report
1st-The Society issues all the approx.
ed forms of assurance, including Ordi.
nary Life, e. dowment and Tontine po-
licies. 1t is immaterial to the Directors
which form of policy is taken by IN
tending assurers.
2d-The Life and Endowment forms
of policy provide for annual cash divi.
dends and surrender value; are indis.
putable after three years and payable
Immediately after proof of death.
3d-Thc premiums on Tontine po-
icy are the same as on the Ordinary
Life, but, while the latter is only pay.
able in the event of death, the holder of
the Tontinc policy has the right to draw
the whole of the reserve and the accu-
INFLATED profits IN cash at the end of q
stated period; thus, during his own life
time, after his producing years are past,
he can, without any larger premium
than on an ordinary policy, secure these
greater advantages.
4th-EXperience shows that the return
paid in cash on maturing Tontine pc.
licies approximate to or exceeds the
amount of premiums paid by policy
holders, so that the average cost of the
assurance will be only about the interest
on the premiums.
5th-Tontine policies, like others, are
| paid in full in the event of death at any
| time during the term of the policy, and
are incontestahle after three years, and
| payable Immediately after due proof of
| death.
Gth-EXperience shows that the NOR.
tality is lower among Tontine policy
holders, as the better lives seek this
kind OF assurances, which is consider
able source of profit.
