AN UNGRATEFUL GUEST.
An Enterprising Macon Darkey Doe

An Enterprising Macon Darkey Does
Up Two Young Savannahians.
John Raspberry. an enterprising Macon
darky, arrived in the city on Monday,
and Monday night he started out to ''do'
the town. In the course of his meander-
ings he formed the acquaintance of George
Jones and Lucius Brinn, two social
young Savannah negroes. They became
quite friendly, and an invitation was eX.
tended to the ''gen'lmun" from Macon TO
spend the night with them at their room
The invitation was accepted, and all three
went to the room, where they spent the
night. Jones and Brinn got up early
the next morning, as they had TO 90 to
work, and left their guest sleeping peace
fully. That was the last they saw of him.
When they returned he was gone, and So
was about all of their worldly goods.
Before leaving, Raspberry turned over
valise to Edward Stubbs, another negro,
with the request that it be expressed to
him at Macon. Stubbs had it expressed
yesterday morning. and soon afterwards
seeing Jones, he told him what he had
done. Jones Immediately filed claim
for the valise with Magistrate Molina,
thinking some of his property might be in
1t. Constable EDdres presented the claim
| TO the express company and Agent Cooper
gave up the yalise. after getting back the
cOmpany's receipt. All that was found
in the Valise was dirty shirt ana q sec
ond hand paper collar.
Raspberry is pToba bly, in Macon making
| a dude of himself out of the wearing ap-
parel OF his friends, whose hospitality he
SO grossly abused.

Torrance OF the company in Nash

Of the well known comedians, the stormy
applause and numerous recalls being un-
mistakable evidence of its excellence.
Both editions of the first part were full OF
music, the quartette being especially
commendable. There were several chest
nut bells IN the audience which were fire.

pleasantly put gag, for which he received
a thunder OF thanks. Pagan and DOyle's
clog dancing WAS good, and the belfry
chimes was one Of tle cleanest features
OF the programme.

Uncle Sans Boys and the Horseshoe.

The superstitious people are not all con-
fined to those who Ego down to the sea in
ships" or who daily with tickle fortune
over the 'green cloth" or on the turf. So
haTd-wo rking and staid class of men as
those who handle the billet-doux commit
ted to Uncle Sans care on fast mail
trains, whatever their early training, are
not entirely proof against belief in spoOks,
COLLINS and what not. The Assistant SUI
perinteudent OF the Sixth Division Rail-
way Mail Service took trip over the
Illinois Central railroad recently. OBJ
serving horseshOes over the doors OF
every mail car he entered, he in
quired what species OF ghost they
were designed to lay. Explanations
that followed developed the fact that
sudden death in the service, on that line,
had given rise TO no END OF superstitious
notions. Two years ago last July clerk
on the Chicago and Centralia route, over
the Illinois Central railroad, was taken
suddenly i'll in bis car, No. AS at the de-
pot here, and died on his run. His dis
ease was supposed to be cholera morbus.
Whether mere cOncident or the result
OF Infection, every clerk who had any
thing to do with the sick man was shortly
after seized with sudden and severe ill
ness, which cost each a long doctor bill
and considerable loss OF time. AT least
two barely escaped with their lives,
They nearly all unite in saying there
has been something very peculiar about
car No. AZ ever since the occurrences mar
rated. The iron bolts that keep the hunks
in place persist in slipping outand letting
down the bedding on all Occ AsiOns, despite
every known device 10 keep them in place.
Under the letter case is a closet having
two doors, each door secured with a bolt
at the top. These particular bolts are
said 10 be more difficult to fasten than
similar ones IN any other car on the road.
Yet it is said to be a matter Of lmpOssi-
blhty to keep the doors shut. One clerk
locks and ties the doors to keep them
closed. I'll" says no man can sleep in the
car without being awakened by strange
noises, such as have never been heard in
any other car. The clerk who attempts
to sleep IN that car must be sleepy and
tired indeed, they say. They are gong to
try the magic horseshoe over the hunks.

To Parent, Young Men and Women,


This is the season your minds are
naturally drawn towards schools and edu.
cation. The subject as to what depart.
ment of education would prove most bene.
fetal is being fully and deliberately dis.
cussed. In the majority of cases the de.
cision is in favor Of a practical and useful
course of study, the fruits of which can
be early gathered-a course that enables
the possessor to conduct business success
fully. or ill clerkships acceptably and
probably.
The school OF photography, bookkeep-
Ing, type writing and penmanship, con-
Quoted during the past two years at ID
Liberty street as night school, is espe-
cially devoted TO these educational pur-
poses. The increase in the number of
scholars, has made IL necessary TO open a
day school in connection with the old re-
gime. Young men and women in search
Of these branches OF educational useful
ness, should avail themselves Of the oppor-
tunity thus offered.
A limited number of students can pro-
cure apartments at the school. &. 5.

row throughout the country. His
friends were 10 be found among all
classes, and all parties. The South
while politically opposed to him .
admired him for his manliness,
and no section of the country con-
tanned more sincere admirers. The
bloody shirt banner was furled by
Mr.. Arthur, and he was the first
President since the war who was
President of the whole country.
His outspoken friendship for the
Mississippi River cndcared him to
the people of the valley, and the
Inhabitants of this neglected Sec
ton will long cherish his earnest
endeavors, to give them security
from overflow. He did honor to
the White House, and was a cred

try. The celebrated apostrophe
