THE OBLIGATIONS WHICH AMERICAN cITIzE
SHIP IMPOSES.

We have thus traced the origin and prin-
ciples of eur government, and now come to
the consideration Of the obligations which
it imposes upon its citizens. Of course
every government requires Of its subjects
obedience TO it's laws, but in republic there
is higher moral obligation resting upon
them than mere obedience to the law. That
obligation is to qualify ones self for the
discharge of the duties of citizenship. III
every country it will be admitted that the
rulers and public officers should bo quail
fled TO discharge the duties of the positions
held by them; and where such qualification

HE WANTED A PASS.
A Claim which No Manager with a Heart
COuld Desplse.
From ~ 1919 ".

From the CAfcago Esaos.
Z Manager Henderson tells us that until
within the last week he never knew how
many friends be had in Chicago. These
friends have come to the surface since #
was announced that the new Chicago
opera house would surely be opened on
Aug II.
Every morning when Manager Hender-
son goes down 10 his Office he finds these
people standing in line awaiting his com
ing. AS the morning progresses the line
grows longer, and the result is that the
popular marager puts In most OF his time
receiving and entertaining people VINO
profess the sincerest solictude in his well
tare snd in the welfare Of the magnificent
thespian temple over whose destnies he
is 90 preside.
Strangely enough these solicitous friends
Invariably wind up their combinations

personal insult if their names were sub

of which Manager Henderson is guilty
when le takes his pen IN hand. % the free
list Of the new opera house. And invari-
ably, as soon as this delicate intmation
is preferred, Manager Henderson's de
meanOr underRoes change which even a
Chicago thermometer might envy.
Manager Henderson has provided him
self with two distinct facial eXuressiOus,
manufactured expressly for him by the
accomplished propertyman which the
new theatre has imported from St. Louis.
One Of these expressions is a property
smile which is as soft and winsome as a
breath of Nav or the zephyr OF a summer
night dancing over a bank Of roses. This
property smile-snbtle, insinuatlng and
grateful as an Arabian periume-glOrifies
Manager Henders0n's face when bis
newly-discovered friends press his hand
and murmur words OF sympathy and en-
cOuragement The other expression Is a
property frown, so icy and SO threatening
that it chills the bebOlder to the very
marrow and makes his heart 60 out in
yearning for his winter OvercOas and
heavy iannels; and it is this property
frown which Manager Henderson dOns

the conversation finally reaches the sub
ject of a free pass.
But what bOthers Manager Henderson
most are the applications tor recognition
which he receives from persons who claim
TO be personal friends of Col. John W.
Norton, his associate manager. Gester-
day, for instance. a long haired. wild-eyed
man confronted Manager Henderson with
a request for a pass to the show next

From the KIsht5t0tOn RepuottciH.
/ Contrary to the common belief, there
was no lack Of provisions or delcacies in
( Richmond at any time during the war, but
the prices measured by alleged dollars
were simply stupendous. ] do not re-
member that there was any actual suffer

with. I recollect also that there was a
bread riot Of so large proportion as to call
Tor the Intervention Of the military. but
the women, black and white, who were
the chief participants, were Of the lowest
class, and were insugated not by want SO
much as pure deyiltry.
1t is a curious fact that what are called
the lower classes Jared better, as far as
provisions were concerned. than the Office
holders or Weather citizens. The sala-
ries Of the Ofiiceholders, both Confederate
and state, were grossly inadequate 10
provide for their families, and the
wealthief citizens at the outset of the
war had invested, almost without excep-
tiOn, all their available means in the 3
per cent. bonds Of the Confederate gov
eminent. Those VINO owned slaves, by
hiring them out obtained large returns,
for labor was In great demand; but the
ties cOnscrlpted all able bOdied negroes as
drivers Of mule teams, labOrers on the
publications, etc. Just az they con-
scripted able-bodied whites for service in
the field, and the hire given TO the masters
was bat tithe OF whar could have been
procured in open market.
Talk about Washington being a city Of
boarding houses and restaurants, why il

rate capital. Nearly every house, and
especially OF people OF limited means. was
tilled with dodgers. and nearly every other
house was an eating-hOuse. The poorer
whites and blacks made money hand over

them from stands on the streets and atthe

Officers and soldiers, Jewish merchants,

The home guards, organized to defend

EIGHTEEN FEET LONG.
The ReptiIisn Monster at the Nashville
Fertilizer Works Killed.

from me y dSHGttte a fLsTfcdd.
Three men were left on special guard
last night to watch the opening in the
floor to capture alive, if possible, the i'm
mense snake recently seen about here.
They were armed with shotguns for pro-
lection, and were seated on barrels some
little distance from the hole, with Ian
tern swung above.
About 3 O'Clock this morning a slight
noise was observed, when the snake eau
tiously lifted his head above the flooring
and peered around, with his eyes gleam-
ing like diamonds. Everything being
quiet he quickly crawled cut full length
and made for another opening, but he WAS
too slow.
Charlie Hill, being on the alert, shot him
in the middle OF the body. Such writhIng
and pounding the floor with its tail has
never been seen before. 1t was simply
/ frightful His rage was so great he bit
/ himself several times, and it was fully an
/ hour before be was finally killed.
| Having stretched him out he was meas
ured with tape line. From the end of
/ the mouth to the tip Of the tail was exactly
/ 1897 feet, the width between the eyes 6B
! incnes, in circumference % inches. The
| color of the skin Is of a bright copper,
made more so by the dust Of the iron
/ pirItes with which he came in contact.
IL Is wonder to the employees how such
a fearful monster could have kept con-
cpaled so long, and that right in their
midst. II is claimed by some that his den
! is in sink hole STU ated about 200 yards
in the rear OF the building, and that there
are more about the premises. One gen.
tleman has offered so for the skin. but
was refused. 1t will be preserved in

This snake could easily have crushed a
man or made "A meal Of a child. All who

| ture. No one knows what kind OF a snake

After the agricultural temple has been
admired, the visitor to the South Caro-.
lina's exhibit is attracted to the pretty
display of rice. Supported by pillars,
which are glass tubes filled with rice, is
small roof thatched with sheaf rice,
which Justly claims to be the best in the
world. Grouped around this centre piece
are barrels, whose glass tops reveal the
rice and its various products, and grades
of clean rice, chaff, rough rice and the
-four and bran which this grain yields.
AS commercial display this is perfect,
but to do full justice to the South Caro-.
lima rice the Charleston merchants should
have sent along one of the old time
"mamma's," MS the colored women used
to be called in Charleston, provided with
small cooking-stove, who might have
shown to many visitors how rice was in.

mammas, the rice is delicious. Each
grain is separated and swollen to twice
its usual size, and does not at all resem.

tables.
Bales of hay, seven different varieties,
including Bermuda, from Ex-Governor
Hagood's farm; and johnson grass from
the Childs farm near Columbia, bring
before the attention of the student of
Southern industries a branch which,
since the passage Of stock law in South
Carolina, has received the attention OF
some of the most successful of the farm
ers of the State. Blooded cattle are
fast taking the place of the herds of
worthless scrub stock, which once
roamed uncared for over the free pastures
of each neighborhood, and number of
farmers now find a profitable occupation
in raising fine cattle and hay. One hun.
dred varieties of grass, from the 200
found in South Carolina, are on exhibi-
tion here. Many of these are needed for
forage.
