IL Is Hard to Fight the Fates.

The most peaceable and dangerous
man in all this nited States lives in
Murray County, Georgia. He is kind
hearted, good-tempered, never had Il
quarrel in his life, wouldn't hurt fly,
and everybody is afraid of him. About
a year ago he was cutting wood when
the AK flew off the handle and killed a
man who had come to pay him $50; he
never got a cent of the money. The
next week, while ferrying a friend
across river, he ran the boat against
n snag and his friend was drowned.
About a month later he felled tree on
a stranger who was lying asleep in the
woods, killing him instantly. Not long
after he shot at q wild turkey and
killed neighbor whom he didn't see
at all. Three weeks afterward he
lighted a kerosene lamp, when it sud-
denly exploded, burning to death a
colporteur to whom the inoflensive
Georgian had courteously extended the
hospitality of his home. His last pub
lie act was to cross the st eet with q
ladder on his shoulder, last Fourth of
July, while the procession was passing,
and, when somebody shouted to him to
hurry on" he obligingly turned
around and started back. The prores-
sion was laid out and the day spoiled.

Chemistry OF Growth.

A correspondent Of the Germantown
Telegraph has this to say upon the
subject of life and growth:
Not only plants, and fruits, and
seeds, but ANIMALS, and insects, ard
reptiles contain precisely the same ele-
ments we find In the soils of earth on
which they subsist, and only differ
from the earth by what is known as
organic constructed and the condition.
In all things conceivable there are
but the two stages: the living and
the so-called dead, AMI it ~ chemical
action which il accountable for the
change from one cond ton TO the
other.
This admitted, the correspondent
argues as follows:
All our divisions and subdivisions Of
both living and dead matters are sim

capable OF life and the other containing
the elements OF life III n mo. liked

ions of matter In the more fixed condi-

lost the Fourth District by the election
of John Nichols, republican, by the la
Dor vote.

600 plurality.

immense democratic gains all over
Kansas. Martin is, however. elected
governor by about 10000 majority.
Democrats claim Iowa all the way
from 5000 to 10000.

ticut, when neither party has major
ity of all the votes cast. The democrats
gain one congressman.
Bob Taylor, democrat, is elected gov
ernor of Tennessee by about %, 900 ma
