Bill Arp on Farming.

It's wonder to me, says Bill Arp in
the Atlanta Constitution, that everybody
don't 90 to farming. Lawyers and doc
tors have to sit about town and play
checkers, and talk politics and wait for
somebody to quarrel or fight, or get sick /;
clerks and bookkeepers figure and null
tiply, and count until they get to count
ing stars, and the flies on the ceiling,
and the peas in the dish, and the flowers
ION the papering; the jeweler sits by his
window all the year round, working on
little wheels, and the mechanic strikes
the same kind of lick every day. These
people do not belong to themselves; they
are all penned up like convicts in chain
gang; they can't take day nor an hour
for recreation, for they are the servants
of their employers. There is no profes-
sion that gives man such freedom, such
latitude, and such variety of employ
ment as farming.
There's no monotony upon the farm.
There's something new every day, and
the changing work brings into action
every muscle in the human frame. We
plow and hoe, and harrow and SOW, and
gather it in at harvest time. We look
after the horses and COWS, the pigs and
sows, and the rams and the lambs, and
the chickens and the turkeys and geese
We cut our own wood, and raise our owr
bread and meat, and don't have to b.
stingy of it like city folks. A friend
who visited us not long ago, wrote bacl
from the town that his CRATE don't seen
biooer than the crown of his hat sinct
he sat by our great big friendly fire
place.

A Wedding Custom.

tTm going to get married." said he,
as he placed hand upon the counter as
large as Dutch cheese, "and want a
wedding cake"
1T is customary" said the pretty
bakery girl, nowadays to have the ma
terials of the cake harmonic with the
calling of the bridegroom. For a musi-
clan we have an oat oake, for man
who has no calling and lives upon his
friends, the sponge cake, for "a newspaper
paragrapher, spice cake, and so on: what
is your calling, please"
"I'm pugilist."
"Then you want pound cake."-Bos-

A Kerosene Drink.

One night recently Gainesville lady
was aroused by knocking at her door.
On opening it she beheld we'll dressed
and gentlemanly-l looking man, who car
ried lantern in his hand. He said that
his lantern was about to go out for want
of oil. She procured her oil-can, and
quietly handing it to him, he turned it
up to his mouth and took a long and
vigorous swlg of its contents. She re.
demonstrated, but he assured her that

A funny story concerning some poll
ticians in the Thirteenth district is atioat.
Ex-Alderman James Pearson has an init
mate personal and political friend named
DR.. Gilbert, district politician Of some
repute. One day, not long ago, DR.;
Gilbert called on Mr.. Pearson and told
him he had friend whom he wanted to
have appointed driver on the Twenty
third street railroad.
sob! that's all right, " said the alder
man. cpl give him letter to Mclean,
the SUPERINTENDENT, and that will Tx
him all right"
The alderman wrote letter,
which satisfied DR.. Gilbert, and it was
turned over to the would-be driver,
who in due course of time handed ii
to Superintendent Mclean. The superin'
tendent read it and told the applicant
there was no vacancy on the line at that
time. Some time afterward Alderman
! Pearson, DR.. Gilbert, and number oi
other politicians were gathered in the
| Utah House, and the conversation turned
on the trouble officeholders had in pro
viding places for their constituents.
"But I've got the railroad Dusines!

Female GymnaStS,

There are on both sides of the Atlantic
over one thousand women who earn
their living as gymnasts, and of these
nearly three hundred are found in Amer
ica The number is large, but so is the
country over which the performers are
scattered, and therefore the New Yorker
should not be astonished and cry,
"Where are they ALA" Only at one or
two variety theatres in the city are they
to be seen and at big circus, such as
Barnum's, which occasionally visits the
town. California and the Western cities
are their happy hunting grounds. These
athletic ladies will tell you that the
Westerner is the most ardent admirer of
muscle and nerve, especially when dis
played by the 'softer SEX"
The rem uneration these performers re-
ceive varies from $50 to 5000 week.
The best of them, and of course the few,
can command the latter sum. But 1t
must be remembered that for several
months in the year they are idle, Many
also have to su pport mother of younger
! brothers and sisters. The latter is the
case with one well-known gymnast, who
is the neice of a United States Senator
Her father in his latter days was fnan'
cialy unfortunate, and, dying poor, lef
boy and girl to be provided for by his
eldest daughter Her uncle told her she
was disgracing her family by becoming
circus performer, but she did not re
gard it in the same light. She said sh
was able to take care of herself, the re
muneration was good and her brothe
and sister had to be supported. The
have now grown up, but still she con
tinues in the profession because she ha
liking for it and it gives her indepen
dence. -Neao York Herald.

Human Hibernation in India.

"Human Information" as practiced in
India, is thus explained by correspond
ent: A tunnel is dug from the grave to
the neighboring jungle; the grave itself
is partially prepared. The subject is
then, in sight of the spectators, prepared
by having his ears and nostrils filed with
wax and his tongue turned back. He is
then apparently buried, creeps through
the tunnel and gets away. After six
months. or any other interval, he creeps
back again, is dug up apparently lifeless,
and restored with infinite pains. London

This map, or bird's-eye view, is the
great chess-board on which the military
game, watched by the world, is now being
played. The Russians are established at
several points far within the boundary
line claimed by England for Afghanistan.
They are not only at Sari. YAH, Pull.
Khatun, and Penjdeh, but also at Zulfii-
kar and Ak-Robat. A glance at the map

ment, through It's agent in London, NJ.
Lessar, now claims.
But the key 10 the understanding Of the
whole matter Is TO remember constantly
that Herat Is the place of supreme inn
portance on the map. Herat is the real
objective point Of both governments. It
Is only as steps towards the capture OF
Herat that the Russian occupation OF
Zulhkar and Ak-Robat, and It's later
seizure Of Panjdeh, are important. It is
only as outposts protecting Herat from
surprise and seizure that the English gov
ernment is so deeply concerned TO compel
Russiato retire therefrom From Zulikar
and Ak-Robat to Herat the Russians have
tomarch less than 100 miles TO bring them
10 the gates OF Herat.
Study Of the map shows that the Rus
sian advance upon Herat will be made
along two river lines. On the western
side the ezar's forces will follow the Heri
Rud river. On the eastern side they will
follow the Murghab river, and It's feeder,
the Kushk river. The Kushk river, II
will be noted, rises in the Paropamisus
mountains, Immediately north Of Heiat

 That pip.r WIS published in Rll.igh, North Carolina, and its editorial has
 been copied Tn most of the Republi. can papers of the North. A gentle man who reached here from North Carolina to-day tells curious story about the writer and his tragic end. The ink upon the paper which con- tainsd the article was scarcely dry and the edition of the paper had not all been delivered a: the postoffice when the editor of the article fell dead. The editor was convicted as Ku. Klux and sentenced to ten years al Penitentiary. 'fhe evidence in his trial showed he was a leader Of Ku-Klux in his section. He remained in Albany Penitentiary for four years, when petition for his pardon gen. erally signed in his locality, was pre- sented to General Grant. The Pres ident granted his pardon, the man re- turned to his home, and has been il politics since, but has committed no act until he made the re. cent assault upon the memory Of General Grant, so quickly followed by his own death.

The Udan Case.

| The verdict secured yesterday iu the perjury casesagainst Bishop Udall is a great triumph of justice and re. fleets the greatest credit on Col. Za. briskie, the United States District At torney. The perjury which the Saintly Mormon Bishop committed was in connection with proving up on pre-. emption claim before the land office for NJ. P. Romney.
 MT. Romney and his Mormon wit. nesses swore that he had lived on the land in question the legal time pre- scribed by law, whereas the testimony went to show that such was not the case. MT. Romney is also under in- dictment for the same offense, but he has concluded not to face an Arizona jury and has accordingly gone to the more congenial cline of Mexico leav- ing his bondsmen in the lurch.
 D. J. Crosby, indicted for similar offense was acquitted by jury. While half the jury and majority of the spectators who heard the testi- mony were of the opinion that the evidence against him was sufficient to convict, the result of the cases as they now stand gives universal satisfaction. MT. Crosby is only lay member of the church, and was without doubt induced to do as he did through the influence ot those higher in power. Bishop Udall is one of the leading lights of Zion and if one IS to escape punishment it is better that it be the one less guilty.
 The Bishop was defended by Judge John A. Rush, J. C. Herndon, Har- ris Baldwin and J. J. Hawkins, and notwithstanding they did all that in- genuity could devise and skill could execute within the limits of profess ional and honorable practice they were unable to break down the formid- able bulwark of evidence piled up by Col Zabriskie and E. M. Sanford. The case on both sides was admirably we'll conducted, the defense resisting it inch by inch, while the prosecution as consistently pushed the case in be- half of the government.-Journal.
