told, and no doubt the mystery
will now be cleared up.
1t appears that the body of the
dead lady had been placed in No.M,
and the young man and young lady
were sitting up up with it. At 10
o'clock, midnight, as is the custom
out West, the watchers went down
to tho dining-room for a lunch,
which had been spread for them,
and during their absence Jones,i in
his hurry, had entered room No.

Whether the woman, who was one

man who had hardly finished his

the sight of what he supposed to
be the dead woman rising, is not

Here is an incident of the sink
ing of the steamer Chipley near
Fort Gaines, a few DAYS ago. which
has never found its way into print.
When the news of the disaster
reached Fort Gaines, the people
of that town rushed down to the
river to gain what information
was afoat. While eagerly strain
ing their eyes up the river they
beheld cotton bale slowly float
ing in their direction. Perched
upon its top was a figure which
some supposed to be on fire. It
was as red as the stripe Of that ilk
upon q new United States flag.
When the bale of cotton arrived
opposite the wharf, we'll manned
boat put out and soon towed it
and its freight ashore. To the in
finite surprise of the assembled
inhabitants, the freight removed
itself and stood up. 1t was near
ly seven feet high, and was array
ed in a suit of red flannel under
clothes. With a graceful wave Of
the right hand, it stalked up the
street to the hotel, registered it's
name, and called for the best
room.

had escaped from the sunken

On Fri lay last there was an oc-
currence in thu censtery at this
place the like of which, perhaps,
was nsvsr koowu bafore. In 1876,
Mr.. James A. Watson. of Glover,
whose family then resided in
Yorkville, lost child, aged three
or four YEARS, by death. AT that
time Mr.. Watson was living in
Baltimore, teacher in the Bry-
ant Saddler Commercial College,
and he could not conveniently
leave his business to attend the
funeral, and in his absence only
temporary burial was given the
body, awaiting his return homo
to secure a permanent burial lot
in the c5Metery. This was not
practicable until recently, on the
extension of the Gem terry grounds,
since which tina he has bought a
lot, aud Oh last Friday in com pa
ny with Mr.. J. Ell. Jefsrys and
DR.. J. b. Allisol, he went into the
cemetery to remove the body to
his lot. The burial case, a Fisk
metallic, was raised from the grave,
and natural desire to look upon
the face OF the child which died
and was buried during the fathers
absence, prompted NJ. Watson to
ask Mr.. Jsfferys to remove the lid
covering thu glass pla3l ovar the
face. The lid was unscrewei and
removed, all three standing near,
but observing q film on tle sur

Ths theological students of
Mercer University are frequently
sslled upon to ill the pulpits of

Of fifty miles of Macon. The
plan is god one, because it at

Of practice and does not hurt the

Among the brightest young the

has been mlnistering acceptably,

Wealthiest and most cultured
members of his congregation, and,
as result, be was invited to
spend the night with one of that
class.
1 shall harrow neither the feel

the Rev. Mr.. Parrott by detailing
the elegance of the reception ten
dered him at the hospitable home
of his host. 1t may be said, how
eyer, that the supper was a feast,
and that several ancient roosters
and hens mourned their offspring
IN consequence.
The hour for retiring arrived.

ena guest to the company room,

Rev. Mr.. PARROT disrobed, and
then tripped over to the capacious
bed and turned down the cover.
Horrors!
Two thin cotton sheets were all
that he found with which to keep
epat the frosty air.
Somebody had Numbered.
Rsv. Mr.. Parrot, entirely too
considerate to mortify the good
wife of his host by requesting the
loan of more cover, pulled the
mattress from the bed, placed the
two sheets on the stats, adjusted
himself upon the sheets, and then
covered himself with the mattress.
Imagine that the curtain is
down for the night.
Rev Mr.. Parrot reappeared ut
the breakfast table next morning.

"how did you spenl the night?
Dead silence greeted the qaes-

Dead silence again.
The host repeated his question.
By close attention to the move

understood his hosts question.
He pulled out u pencil and

The breakfast was finished in
silence.
After the Rev. Mr.. Parrot left.

Twenty minutes after, the host

of Rev. Mr.. Parrstt's dumbness.
His novel mode of spending the
night with six inches of cover on

call to preach. The arrival of the
runaway couple soon became
known and quite number of
young people gathered at the
school house where thesceremony
was to be performed. The

"Well, parson, | don't under

"Join hands" said Bill. II

The San Francisco Post says:

The San Francisco Post says:
An attorney who is probably as
well acquainted with the Chinese
in this city as any white man can
be, says that if the present agita-
ton is continued for u year there
will not be a Chinese merchant lett
in San Francisco. At the present
time they are closing up their busl-
ness as fast as they can, and nearly
every steamer takes one or more OF
them away. The business OF the
merchants is being ruined by the
expulsion of the laborers from the
interior. The merchants in the IN
terror of this State, IN oregon
Washington Territory and Nevada
have no business, as the patrons
have disappeared and they are un-
able to pay their debts. In conse-
ouence the merchants here are suf
fering. One large merchant has
$50 900 worth of bills which he
cannot collect, and recent tour OF
this and neighboring States en-
abled him to secure only So 600.
Merchants have for some time been
assisting each other to prevent fail
ures, but it appears as if the limit
were about reached. It's affirmed
that there are more vacant stores
in Chinatown than were eyer seen
before. and the prospect is that the
number will grow larger.

powDERLEs,~ MANIFESTO .

The address of Master Workman
Powderley to three million Of his
followers in The United States is a
document fit to have come from
the White House.
This man stands today the &C
knowledged head of larger organ
ization than has ever before been
gathered in one body in the history
of tie world.
HIS words Of warning to the
knights Of Labor are those OF a
leader conscious of the tremendous
strength of his army If properly
handled, yet fearful that 1t may
fall to pieces OF its own weight
like tower built too high for the
base. He announces that he does
not counsel strikes or boycotts eX
cent as last and desperate resort,
and holds with sensible knowl-
edge Of the difficulties to be Crap
pied with, that calm minded arol'
tration and perfect understand
ing between employer and en-
ployed will result in more gooo to
all concerned, than senseless aud
hasty strikes.
1t is not to be wondered at that
such a vast organization OF men
conscious of It's numerical strength,
will chate under restraint and wish
to give the world a practical dem
onstratlon of their latent power,
but they should remem Der that
their greatest strength lies in their
Master Workman Powderley, and a
strict obedience to his orders. BY
listening to his well considered and
dispassionate advise, by turning a
deaf ear to the Establishments Of
politicians, and by iudulglng IN no
useless skirmishing along the line
until general advance is ordered
the knights will ever control the
situation.
When the hosts are marshalled
and their strength known, there
will be no conflict between labor
and capital; capitalists will realize
what a tremendous power they
have to deal with, and readily make
such concessions as Will be con-
sistant with justice, fairness and
good sense. After the terms OF
arbitration have been rejected,
then the struggle, if any, will be OF
capitals own choosing.
