LULA HURSTAT COLLEGE.
Rome Bulletin.

Rome Bulletin.
After travelling the country over
and visiting all the educational
centers of America, Mr.. Hurst re-
tnrns to his quiet country home
in Collard Valley, and sends his
wonderful magnetic daughter,
Miss Lula Hurst, to Shorter col
lege to take thorough collegiate
course. Mr.. Hurst was doubtless
able to have selected any one Of
the most famous female institutes
of the east, bat he knew old Shor-
ter by her fruit. OF course the
announcement that Miss Hurst
had entered Shorter college reviv-
ed the old interest our people took
in the movements of the young
lady when she was before tie
footlights The public was curl
Gus to know something of Miss
Hurst's intentions for the future.
With a desire to satisfy this curl
osity a Bulletin man called at the
college yesterday morning ana
asked DR.. Gwaltney, the able
president, his permission for all
interview with Miss Lula. felt
confident that tho doctor was 60
ing to say mo-" and sure enough
he did saw "no," in very pleas
ant way. But | knew that he
meant it. 81 don't think it is right
to pull the young lady out from
the privacy of her study-r7om to
again endure the unpleasant criti-
cism3 of Il curious public. She is
pupil of Shorter college now,
seeker after knowledge and not
after notoriety. And as Miss
Hurst is within the walls Of the
institute and under my charge she
shall be protected from the criti-
cel gaze of the curious public"
That was what he said. OF course
| admire the feelings of delicacy
which prompted DR.. Gwaltney to
refuse the interview.

LyMpEIN, Gar February 10 -

and Just as this solemn service
was about concluded, the new pas

replied that he was The pastor
then said that as sill Christians
were working for The same end il
was nothing bat right to offer tho
saoramens to the sexton, vino was
invited to come forward from his
bsnch in the rear Of the church.
Now, the sexton of this church
happens to be Billy Burks. very
bright mulatto, and, by the way, q
very sensible and humble freeman,
Bill heard tbs word sexton called,
aud walked up-to the altar to sees
what was wanted. AS the preach
err held out the plate with the
bread and the gcblet with the
wine, Bill took them both and pro-
coeded at cnce to clear off the Ia
bis. The preacher stopped him
an / told him that he was invited
up to take communion. Bill shook
his head, set down the service and
said: mo, sir; excuse me. [
take mine with the niggers." Bill
went back to his seat very much
embarrassed, and as he sat down
remarked in low voice; "Nary
time; no siroo; l tako mine with
the nigsers.
This little incident created quire
a ripple Of mirth in the church,
and goes TO show also that Bill is
yet a sensible negro.

ELEPHANTS IN BATTLE.
A Pretty Steep Story Casabianca
Knocked Completely Out.

There is a beautiful story of an
old elephant that once engaged in
an Indian battle. He was stand
ard bearer, and carried on his
huge back the royal ensign, the
ralIying point of the Poou II host.
At the beginning of the fight he
lost his master. The mahout or
driver, had ius; given him the
word to halt, when he received a
fatll wound and fell to the ground,
where he lay under heap of the
slain. The obsdicnt elephant
stood still while the battle closed
around him and the standard he
carried.
He never stirred a foot refus-
ing to advance or retire as the
conflict became hotter and fiercer,
until the Mahrattas, seeing the
standard still flying steadily N its
place, refused to believe they We're
beaten, and rallied again and
again around their colors. And
all the while, amid the din of bat
tie, the patient animal stood
straining it's ears to catch the
sound of that voice it would new
e. hear again. AT length the tide
Of conquest left the field deserted.
The Mahrattas swept on in pur-
suit of the flying foe, but the ele-
plant, like a rock, stood there
with the dead and dying around
and the ensign waving in its place.
For three days and nights it re-
manned where its master had Civ
en- it the command to halt. No
bride or threat could move it.
They sent to village 100 miles
away and brought tho mahout's
little son.
The noble hero seemed then to
remember how the driver had
sometimes given his authority to
the little child, AMI Immediately,
with all his shattered trappings
changing as he went, paced quietly
and slowly away.

HUMBLE HEROES.

There are men of worth and honor
Who are ever brave and true,
Who are strong to work and suffer
In whate er they find to do;
And although their lot be lowlv,
Though they meier be known to fame,
Tho the crowd should pass them coldly,
They are heroes. just the same.
There are those who daily labor,
Turning up the Stubborn soil,
Winning home and food for loved ones
BY the hands unceasing toll.
Though they never gain the friendship
OF the rich and proud of earth,
'Mong the worlds renowned and noble
There are none of greater worth.
He who Goes his duty bravely,
Though it leads through humble ways,
Who would scorn an evil action,
d. Needing neither bl .,me nor praise,
Who would not withhold hi helping
From suffering brothers needs

JEFFERSON DAVIS.
A Vanderbilt Pupil Has Chat With
the Old Here.

Nashville Union.
The south bound train on the
Louisville and Nashville railroad
was making creditable Roadway
through the dismal fog, hanging
over land and gulf, as it pulled in
to "Beauvoir," Miss. An old gem
tleman quietly entered the car and
politely requested permission to
occupy portion of my section.
All eyes were riveted upon this
man. And finally whevfhe con-
versation became geaefal, and
questions of vital importance came
under discussion, such as quail
fed franchise for the fifteenth
am anament heroes, and while
some of the younger members Of
thu party were somewhat enthnsi-
astic in their advocacy for such a
N 9asure, it was remarkable how
that face, SO Indicative Of deep
emotions and plainly marked by
the attributes OF undying genius,
become illumined by the transit
tions of lofty thought that found
expression in language as beauti-
full as a poem. The car became a
small audience chamber; the
aisles were crowded full, and all
listened to this man as an oracle
upon southern politics. Finally
some one, addressing him, said:
"Mr. Davis" Great Greeks! Had
it been that [, "tyro," had pre-
slmed to argue points Of economy
with this Nestor in politics?
Among the passengers were
numbers from Northern States,
Michigan, etc.: aud one lady espe-
cially, who was SO enthusiastic
that she Anttered up the aisles
and grasped Mr.. Davis hand in
both OF hers, and exclaimed, ooh,
Mr.. Davis, [ was born at Fort
Schnelling, and we are all rebels,
because papa used to like you SO
much when you were an officer
there" She was assured of
hearty appreciation of the kind
remembrance, and left the old
gentleman IN a semi trance of de-
light. The train approaches New
Orleans. As We shake hands at
parting mischievous twinkling
seems to Turk around his express
sive eyes, and he remarks, "Well,
young gentleman, when you be-
come as old as [ probably you
will lose much of your enthqsi-
asm, but never be afraid to alvo
cate and adhere to that which you
conscientiously believe to be an
honest principle" And he walk
el away with as firm a step and
as Greet a carriage as he might
have gone into the Senate with
twenty-five years ago.

DURATION OF LOVE IN MEN AND
WOMEN.
Chicago Ledger.

Chicago Ledger.
Somebody who didn't spend all
his time sitting around the house
growing at flies and raising blue
ichaos whenever dinner wasn't
readyto the minute, has placed
the opinion on record that with
woman love is an absolute reality,
while with a man it is little. more
than the comm6nest kind Of side
show.
When you behold a damsel with
eyes like those Of damaged
mackerel, whose nose is blue at
the tip anl sharp-pointel from
much weeping, shaaiag arounf
the house in an old dress that
makes man feel like fleeing to
the mountains, you can salt it
down for a certainty that she
wants to marry a man 100 worth
less to make good fish bait. Some
night, when least expected, she
will skip out by the light Of the
moon to escape with the scalawag,
leaving more love in the home
from which she steals away than
she will ever find in his bosom,
AMI from that time on she is to
command under all circumstances,
no matter whether he steals a
horse or goes to Congress, and so
long as he treats her half white,
nothing but the discovery that he
has got mashed on some other wo-
man can ever change her feelings
towards him.
A man falls in love tho same as
a mute goas down with a sinking
bridge, Simply because he can't
help it, but it seldom does him
any permanent injury. The shape
of nose, the sweep Of al eye or
the wave of q curl trips him up
and settles his hash without an
instant of warming, and there he
is, the bluost kind Of captive, I'M
til marriage or some new fascina-
ton breaks the charm that binds
him. He is pretty snre to love
like burning brush heap while
he is about it, but the trouble is,
his flame is too ardent to be dura-
bic. He will year to q blue-eyed
sprite that he loves her for all
eternity, and within three months
after marriage will go to bowling
about the cooking, ana make her
life purgptory without a streak
of light. II she breaks down and
dies Of discour agements, as not in
frequently happens, he will slide
up to some other houri before the
daises bloom again, in total for
setfulness that he ever lost Il wink
Of sleep by being in love before.

Not Symptoms, but the Disease.

]; would seem to be a truth APP
probable by all; and especially by
professors OF the healing art, that
to remove the d isease, not to allie
viate its symptoms, should be the
chief aim of medication. Yet in
how many Instances do we see
this truth admitted in theory, ig-
no, cd in practice. The
reason that Hostctter's Stomach
Bitters is successful in so many
cases, with which remedies
previously tried were inadequate
to cope, is attributable to the fact
that it is a medicine which reach
es and removes the causes Of the
various maladies, to which it is
adapted. Indigestion, fever and
ague, liver compliant, g)ut rheu-
matism, disorder of the bowels,
urinary affections and other mala-
dies are not palliated merely, but
rooted out by it. 1t goes to the
Fountain head 1t is really, not
hominallyj a radical remedy, and
it endows the system with an
amount Of vigor which is ITS best
protection against disease.

John Henry, the masher, stood on

waiting for a girl to come along
whom he might crush. At last a
thin young woman from the rural
district came by, and John Henry
thought he had found her. IS she
passed he said something about
her being bony; but he went after
her, and catching up, he said:
Good afternoon, Miss"
Good afternoon" she replied,
sizing him up as if she was going
to put a price on him.
"Ahen, Miss; ahom, T-&n"--he
hesitated.

the Secretary of State whether the
British Government would assist the
Government of New Zealand towards
the purchase of German interests in
Samoa with view to give peace to
that country, and to facilitate its
annexation to this colony; further,

of the proposed purchase of German
interests either by the British Gov
eminent or the Government of New

The telegram announcing the ar
rival of II. MS. Opal at Russell,
and her sudden departure under
sealed orders has given occasion for
conjecture here. Ministers have not
received any notification of her
movements. Some people think that
she has gone to Samoa to support
the United States vessel despatched
from Washington, and as a joint
manifestation of "moral force;" but
if she has gone away under sealed
orders no one can know where she
is gone, and not even the captain
himself until he is well out at sea.

STATEMENT,

THE undersigned, II Committee of Di-
l. rectors of the Equitable Life As.
surance Society of the United States
appointed to formulate the views of the
Board on the advantages offered by he
Society to the public, report
1st-The Society issues all the approv-
ed forms OF assurance, including Ord.
nary Life, En dOwment and Tontine nc.
licies. 1t is immaterial to the Directors
which form of policy is taken by IN.
tending assurers.
2d-The Life and Endowment forms
of policy provide for annual cash divi.
dends and surrender value; are indis.
putable after three years and PAYABLE
Immediately after proof of death.
3d-The premiums on Tontine DO
icy are the same as on the Ordinary
Life, but, while the latter is only nav.
able in the event OF death, the holder of
the Tontine policy has the right to draw
the whole OF the reserve and the accu.
mulated profits In cash at the end of q
stated period; thus, during his own life
time, after his producing years are past,
he can, without any larger premium
than on an ordinary policy, secure these
greater advantages.
4th-Experience shows that the return
paid in cash on maturing Tontine po-
licies approximates to or exceeds the
amount Of premiums paid by policy-
holders, so that the average cost of the
assurance will be only about the interest
on the premiums.
5th-Tontine policies, like others, are
paid in full in the event of death at any
time during the term of the policy, and
are incontestable after three years, and
payable Immediately after due proof of
death.
6th-Experience shows that the NOR.
tality is lower among Tontine policy.
holders, as the better lives seek this
kind of assurances, which is consider.
able source of profit.
7th--Tontine policies will be made
non-forfeitable under the laws of the
State, If so desired at the time the as.
sUrance is effected.
8th-The Tontine system is fair and
just; its accounts are accurately kent
separate from all other business; the
funds judiciOusly invested and improv.
ed, and the accumulated profits faith.
fully guarded and properly appoltioned.
9th-The Society has since its organi.
cation transacted larger amount Of
new business than any other company,
while its new business for the first half
of the present year is $1,75OOOO larger
than that of the first half of 1884. 1t
has Assets of $60,000,000; over $l4 ,OOO,-
900 of Surplus, and its ratio of Surplus
to Liability is greater than that of any
other company.
