lkTHE Providence Journal accuses the
British aristocracy of bringing on nearly
all the wars of that country. Younger
sons of the nobility and gentry compose
the greater part of the army rank,
and they naturally want to become
heroes at the expense of other people.
Heads of the great families in Parliament
sympathize with this ambition, and legis-
late accordingly. The Journal adds !:
"The constitution of English society is
such that extensive foreign possessions,
and consequent wars, are necessary to
give an occupation and support to the
numerous offspring of the nobility denied
by primogenitures share in the estates
OF their ancestors, while the mercantile
and industrial classes also feel that these
possessions are essential to the mainten-
ance of British commerce and trade. But
the aristocracy derive the chief benefit,
and with them rests the responsibility
for the expensive warfare in England"

An UNLUCKY PROPHET.
How An Italian Seer Was Treated
When He PrOpheSied Falsely.

An Italian "hermit" has recently ex-
prenced in his own person the wisdom
Of the maxim which runs "never proph-
esy unless you know" This hermit
4 had somehow or other acquired the repu-
.aS0n Of being able to divine the future,
even to the foretelling of the numbers
which would win prizes at the next lot
very haw. Upon being consulted by a
h7ner of Avellino named Tozzi, the her
mt had the imprudence to select three
llmbers, and 1t unfortunately happened
That when the draw took place these
numbers all won prizes. This fact soon
became known, and the hermit's modest
cell was besieged by the whole population
Of the district, who believed that at last
the philosophers stone had been discov-
cred. But the hermit's good luck was
not destined to be renewed, and after
the peasants had been reduced to beg
gary by following" the holy mans
tips" several of them determined to
have their revenge upon him. Tozzi,
the man who had won in the first in
stance, but had lost all his winnings back
with heavy interest, took the lead in this
conspiracy, and the hermit was en-
trapped into a lonely house, where
several of his victims had assembled.
They proceeded to break both his arms
with an iron bar, placed him in an empty
cask, and took him into the house
Of Tozzi himself, where he was locked
upin a barn and had his wounds roughly
dressed by a village barber Altogether
he remained three months in captivity,
with nothing but straw to lie upon,
and little to eat, and he would probably
have died in the barn if chance had
not put the police on the track Of his
Prosecutors, ten of whom have been
arrested and are about to be tried. 1t
fortunate for the sporting prophets"
at home that failure does not entail
such consequences as these.-LOndOn

War Against Convict Labor.
CITIZENS OF HEARNE THREATEN To
RELEASE THE EoRCE OF
CONvICTS THERE.

A late telegram from Hearne,
Texas, says: The practice adopted
by the State Penitentiary Board of
farming out convicts to wealthy
planters and hiring them to railway
corporations has for several years
been severely deprecated by the
labor element of the State. This
feeling has been greatly augmented
by recent assertions that the prison
labor on large plantations in Bra
EOS bottom is to be increased in a
few days by an importation of sew
eral hundred convicts. This has
called out manifesto from citizens
of Hearne, in which they declare
that the importation of convicts is
ruinous to the business interests of
the town and laboring men in the
community, and will not be tolera-
ted; that one half Of the force of
the penitentiary is now employed
upon plantations ia the vicinity of
Hearne, and that any additional in.
crease will be resisted. The dissat-
isfaction is general, and threats of
releasing the entire force of crimi-
nails now employed are freely and
openly made. Circulars are being
scattered broadcast, calling for a
citizens meeting, to be held here
the 18th inst, at which some def
mite action will be taken.

Fast Time.

Memphis hotel, party of men
were speaking Of fast railway trav-
ell. One man said: ~ was once a
conductor of a train on a Western
railroad and | particularly remem-
Der one bit of fast travel. One
day our engineer got drunk and
the first thing I knew the telegraph
poles looked like picket fence.n
"That was surely not strolling
along" said some one else. ct
reminds me Of my experience. |
once ran an engine on a Southern
road. One day, although I a,n
ashamed to confess such reck less
ness, | pnt on every ounce of steam.
You may not believe it, but the en-
CINE only touched the tops Of the
grades for the next twenty miles.
l admit that this sounds like an ex
aggeration, but / can prove it,
Colonel Bob Leech was one of
the party. Gentlemen" said he,
~ don't know how fast an engine
can travel, but I'll give you an idea
Of how fast one did go. During
the war l ran q scouting engine for
the Confederate government. 1t
was my duty to carry a telegraph
operator, who, at different points,
would cat the wires and send dis
patches. I had one bit of expert
ence which makes my hair stand ny
when | think of it. We were run
ming a rapid race one day When,
upon rounding a curve, / saw
thousand gun barrels blaze in the
sunlight. | also saw that num-
Der of cross ties bad been piled on
the track. To stop in time was an
impossibility to go on seemed GER
tain death, for even if we escaped
being killed by the wrecking of
the engine, we would be shot to
death, for we were regarded as
spies. | decided in a second what
to do. Telling my companion to
lie down in tho tender l seized the
throttle, and, in locomotive par
lance, threw her wide open. The
engine jumped like a rabbit. |
threw myself fiat in the tender, ex-
pecting every second to be hurled
to an awful death. Bang, bang,
bang, went the guns. Then all
was silent save the whir.whir of the
wheels. Could it be possible that
the engine. had knocked off the Oh
structions? / arose and looked
out. We had passed the enemy
and scattered the ties. Ny COM,
panion, as much astonished as my
self, got up. l looked back, and
just above the tender I saw what |
took to be swarm Of big black
flies. I reached out and took hold
of one. Gracious l then diseov-
cred what they were. They wer,
a shot of bullets that the enemy
had fired after US. Well, we ran
along at this rate until the bullets
all fell behind. Then we Stacked up.
The gentlemen looked at one
another, but no one disputed the
statement.

What Caused Vanderbilt's Death.

"Gath" has been interviewing ex-
Senator Henry G.. Davis, of West

dead millionaire and President G ar
rett, Of the B. amp 0. R. R., during
which the former so suddenly ex-
pired He draws the following inter-
esting conclusions:
1t is evident that there was more
in the interview than has yet been
made public. Vanderbilt owned
large holdings on Staten Island.
He has regarded himself much in
the light of possessor and director
of the whole island. He was an
autocrat there when no began his
railroad career as receiver Of the
little road that cuts across the is
land. This was before his father
the old Commodore, had found out
that "there was something in BILL
When the young millionaire from
Baltimore came across this baiIli
wick it was not to be wondered that
the great magnate felt aggrieved
without having any special griev-
ance, and it may we'll be surmised
that when he talked on the subject
with the cool-hsaded young fiDan-
cier he lost his head in passion.
How much his death was due to
that cause only Garrett really knows
and he has decided to keep still.

The above society is making preparations TO
hold it's regular semi-annual meeting at the
Court House, Saturday April A, 1885. During
the two years the society has been organized
no horses have been stolen from any Gifts mem
bers. The members have all pledged them
selves that they will use every effort to run
down the first horse thief who may enter their
midst. Now thieves will take warning that
the first one who steals a horse from q men,
Der Of the society will be captured at all haz-
ards, regardless of time or money, and when
caught the society will very likely make quick
work of him.. This is no idle threat. The
Society is composed of Industrious. and think
ing men and they mean business. They pro-
pose to make it so hot for the first thief that
none will dare venture the second time
''Death to horse thieves" is written in their
constitution, and no effort or money, will be
spared to bring about the desired object and
if they fail it will be because one hundred
earnest and determined men are powerless to
protect themselves. No man who owns a horse
can afford to stay out of the society. Bust

ensuing meeting and members are all requir-

attending this meeting. The public generally
are invited to be present. Remember the time
