In these days the subject of the physical

of both sexes IN this respect are not equally

lady beautiful riding whip, with request that
she would carry it during tho hunting scene in
the third act. The handle of this expensive toy

Rev. Sam Jones the Southern Evangelist.
Atlanta Constitution.
Our friends in Nashville do not seem to know
exactly what to make of Sam Jones. AS we con-
slider Sam sort of Georgia production, we don't
.mind giving them pointer in regard to him.
He is good man to begin with, thoughhe was
not good man to begin with. In years long
gone by he was as lively citizen as you would
wish to meet-and the tradition Is still extant
that he once galloped through rural church
on horseback But when he reformed,
he reformed all over and all through,
and is now a valiant captain of the Lord
of Hosts He is an able man, and gifted with
power for touching the popular heart that is
no less than marvellous In our opinion he is
called by the grace of God to do the work he is
doing He has the earnestness and the fearless
ness of inspiration, and such rubs as he had in
Nashville will but strengthen his hands.
We note in letter from him. the following
suggestions; Il notice you have printed some
good things about me. and some awful things,
too. Go tits all right. A train of cars that
raises no dust, and makes no noise, and kills no
stock, either runs mighty slow or don't run at
all. Sometimes let my bucket down too deep,
and it muddies the WELL as in Nashville. Well
it was my bucket and their mud"
The Indianapolis journal., 1885-04-05


A Mr.. Hubbard, a bay fisherman, says that
late in the spring you will often see a school of
about fifty small catfish, not more than GUAR
ter Of inch in length, very near the shore, and
if you look ten or twelve feet farther out you
will see the mother cat. If noise is made she
will make sign that the little ''catsv un-
derstand as well as chickens do the cluek of an
old hen when hawk is in the neighborhood
and run into the open mouth OF the
old catfish, who will then turn and swim
off in safety with her young. Mr..
Thomas Davis, of this city, some time ago, told
us that he had noticed this care of mother cat
fish for her young. He said that he had often
seen the young fish swimming about in the shall
low water, while the old fish would not be far
off. If danger threatened, the old 'tcattyn
would rush in among her young and by yigor-
GUS motion of her fms stir up the mud until the
water became discolored and the young fish
could no longer be seen. When the water would
become clear again neither old nor young fish
would be visible.

Spring and Autumn.

From the southland came song bird,
Flying in the golden springtinle,
Soaring ON the clouds at morning,
Cinging to the sun at noontime
Chanting to the stars at even:
Sang he loud with joy exultant,
Sang he low for love of God
All! thou hapless little song bird.
Where are now thy songs of springtime?
Where now thy flights at dawning2
Thobs thy heart no more at noontime;
Chantest thou no more at even;
flushed and dead thy song exultant.
All! the path.ess ways of God!

Caution to Little white Children.

..
We are sorry to say it, but little white chill
dren have been detected in pilfering rare flowers
from gardens where access to the flower beds is
easy Little children, remember that those flowers
are objects OF care and expense, and also that
there is no harm in asking for flowers while it
is wrong to take them without asking. Besides,
