No War Wanted in the South.

Bill Arp i'll the Atlanta Constitution.
And now the talk is about war with Mexico.
Well, we don't want any war. 1t will take a
big thing TO provoke war now, so far as the
south is concerned. Let Cutting alone severely
He made his bed and let him lie ON it. We
don't want few thousand men killed in de-
tense of one vagabond VINO got into trouble with
malice alorethought We nave got just as bad
linen on the border AS Mexico has, and Cutting
Is one of them. When our men catch a greaser
over Oh our side they make quick work Of him
and nothing is said about it. Mexico has taken
"a gOoG deal from us and we have taken g good
deal OF land from her. She has treasures and
our people covet them. We have got people
who would steal land from anybody. They
tried To capture Cuba several times. They
have stolen land from the Indians and have
stolen about half the public lands from Uncle
Sam. We want TOO much. Because we are a
great nation We go about with chip on the
hat all the time and dare any body TO knock it
hurry with his demands. We want the respect
oi all civilized nations more than we want their
fear Let Us quit calculating the profits OF a
war.
When was in Texas and war seemed immi-
nent ill Europe, the cattle men were eager Tor
the fight TO come. They didn't care cent about
death and disease, and suffering and wounds.
aud widows anu orphans, so the price Cattle
wentup. 1t sickened Inc to hear them talk and
see them read the teiegrans on the bulletin
boards. They just hankered for a war; 1t was
pity they didn't have to fight it.
have no respect for a man who wants a
war just for his own personal advantage.
Mr. Bayard thinks there is great principle
involved and says We can try our own Citizens
in our own courts. That Is so, of course, but
when a bad citizen goes over the line to do dew
ilment, let him suffer the consequences. Bad
men are the af1lctiOn of this country. They
Keep our courts In session and our jails full and
our taxes high and they bring grief to women
and children. Bad men are "a curse and If no
body but them would De sent To war we wouldn't
care What "a pity that all nations could not do
their lighting with their vagaDonds. When cur
nittlon goes To war we must have some bigger
thing than Cutting to fight about He was

W ell, now, the fact Is that our boys can't get up
any enthusiasm over Cutting. He is too hard a
case. Might as well get up a tight over lobe

Who Wants War. and why?

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Who wants war;
Not the honest, hard-working citizen.
Not the man of a family.
Not any man who loves his home
Not any man who loves his wife,
Not any man whose mother Is the world to

Not any man who sees his future happiness in
his intended bride.
Who wants war?
Not any pure, honest, loving woman.
Not any mother, wife, sister or sweetheart

From the New York Sun.
"That knife handle is worth twice as much as
the other" said an ivory dealer to a reporter as
he pointed out two handsome knives in case
They looked exactly alike, SO the reporter asked
in what the difference lay. "Well, one handle
is formed of live ivory and the other of Dead"
replied the merchant. "By live ivory / mean
ivory taken from an animal recently killed
That sort OF ivory is expensive, because 1t is
hard to get 1t Is strong because there Is LIE in it,
and it is used for the handles OF the best knives,
and where dead ivory could not be used. When
An elephant loses a tusk that tusk become
what we call dead ivory. He sheds the tusk and

easily, and can only be used for the

the ivory would split and crack ih u very short
time. The ivory taken from the tusks of the
antediluvian mammoth buried In the soil of
Siberia Is, of course, all dead ivory. Its uses
are. therefore, limited. II you ever want to buy
any ivory goods be sure to ascertain whether it
is live or dead ivory before purdhasing. II the

brittle and liable TO crack, even where fastened.
The same rule applies to horn. Deerhorn and
buckhorn, SO commonly used, especially in the
handles OF pocke!-knives, is niuch OF 1t made
from the horns shed by the deer, and OF little
value. The live horn Is more expensive.

The Humbug Of 1t.

FROM the charleston News.
When it is not too much thought that wears
away the frail tenement of flesh, it is overwork
in the office, or the school-room, or the store,
that must be relieved by the summer vacation.
The curious features of this is that those who
nave the lightest work, physically considered,
most need rest, or are most likely to take it.
very few blacksmiths. or carpenters, or coal
heavers, or stevedores, or stOnecutters, or any
OF that class ever need summer vacation. 1t
Is the man who Yields the pen or a yardstick
who wears out his strength in labor. There are
workingmen in the north who work Is hours a
day. year in and year out, without rest and
without proper iOod while working, but who
never think of a vacation. The lady who does
not dress herself without aid, and who knows
of no greater fatigue than that which comes OF
riding around in carriage, paying calls,
"rests" at Long Branch or Saratoga two months
every season

A Remarkably small Child.

From the Hartford Times. August IA
a little white hearse that passed nm Main
street this afternoon conveyed a miniature
caskot containing the remains of two-months'
old baby which weighed at birth but three
pounds, and at the time of death but two
pounds and eight ounces. The child a female.
with full, expressive eyes, was OF perfect form.

more than "a human being. A few days alter
being born paralysis developed and the little
creature suffered until death. About five
months ago the mother while in New York
had the misfortune TO fall down an elevator

How to Prevent Being Drowned,

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
A gentleman prominent in business in Chi
cago asks the Iater-Ocean to emphasize a fact
published some months ago about how to avoid
drowning when unable to swim. The directions
were: "Lock the hands behind the pack ana
fully initiate the lungs and close the mouth"
The reason he asks this is that some years ago
he lost an only son by drowning in the Missis-
sippi river, and, as would be natural anything
referring to the subject quickly arrests his
attention. After reading the article, he read it
aloud to his wife and daughter, and upon the
latter 1t made profound impression. Two or
three weeks ago, while his daughter was enjoy
ing "a row ON Lake Michigan u huge wave cap
sized the boat and threw her into the water
which was deep. While the daughter was sink.
ing she remembered the directions, clasped her
hands behind her, and, when she arose. threw
the water from her mouth and filled her lungs
full of air before she sunk second time. She
went under but short distance, and upon
reaching the surface she f1Oated until boat
put out from shore and rescued her. The gen.
tleman remarked: Had it not been tor these
wise directions repeated to my daughter and
her Obeying them, am satisfied would to-day
be childess." This year there have been an un-
usually large number OF deaths from drowning
and 1t would seem wise for parents to impress
these simple directions on the minds OF young
people. They are good even for those who can
swim, for it will enable them to rest, and have
better opportunity Tor rescue.

About 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon great
excitement prevailed throughout the city.
caused by very strong and distinct shock of
earthquake, which lasted for nearly half min
ute Hardly any person realized for q while
just what had happened. The shock was accom-
panied by rumbllng noise, which sounded in
the houses and stores as if a heavy box or some
thing of that kind had been thrown down with
great force, shaking the entire building. Those
who were on the lower floors thought that the
noise came from above, while those In the upner
stories thought that it came from below.
andkparties who were in the upper stories fell
the buildings rock and roll, and the first i'm.
pulse was to get out, and get out very Quick.
The shock was felt with equal force all over the
was not SO great as where the houses were
isolated. The women folks who were pursuing
their daily duties at their homes were badly
scared. Their fright in some instances was
really serious. The shock was not felt on the
river, although one remarkable thing took place,
and that was /; sudden rise OF the water, showing
by the gauge that the tendency Of the earth.
quake was to tilt up from the west toward the
east, the water showing rise and fall in O few
minutes of about one foot. In many cases.
while the buildings were rocking, bricks tum.
bled from chimpeys, and where cups, glasses;
&C., were standing in open windows, they were
shaken out and tell TO the ground.
