4 Goyernor and Baby;

|. On the train between Atlanta and
West Point was q poor tired mother:
whose sick and fretful infant had well
nigh exhausted her strength and pa
tience. The cries of the child with
pleadings and lullabies OF its mother
for hours had driven the more thought
less and nncharitable passengers into
nervousness and despair. The fond
mother noticed the discomfort OF her
fellow passengers and redoubled her
efforts to quiet the child. The good.
hearted Governor, the late MIR. Conley.
noticing this condition of affairs, went
over to where the mother was sitting,
and in the most fatherly manner and
tone of voice. asked to be permitted to
relieve her of the child for a little
while. Taking the baby iii his arms,
the Governor of the State of Georgia
walked backwards and forth the length
of the car, talking baby talk and in
various other ways soothing and di-
verting the thoughts of the little one
for an hour or more, or until it had
quieted down and slept quietly In the
Governors ams. who then handed it
over to its mother. This act was, of
course, witnessed by the passengers,
and when it was known that the kind
old gentleman who vas assisting the
tired mother in quoting her baby was
the Governor of the State of Georgia it
was easy to imagine the feelings of the
party.-.Iu9ustu CO.. Ne,ts.

The Imagination I'm Sickness.

There vas a little woman who was
sick-not as sick as she thought, fol
little women have the most remarka-
bic lmaginations. when they are ailing.
One Of the visitors remarked that she
never could "bear to see any one suf-
fering. 1t made her wild" The little
woman who was sick had lost all sem
blance OF her youth. Another visitor
asked: why do you live in a room
that has paper on the wall. / read an
article the other day to the effect that
wall paper is poisonous. and that a
certain family had all died from the
effects of it. If l lived in IA house that
had paper on the walls | would move
out" The sick woman opened her
eyes, and IN could see that she was
scanning the rich colors and figures
put on the wall only last spring.'T There
is no telling how many funeral process
sions passed through her min in amin-
ute. But inside of that minute she
was in the agonies of death caused by
poison. She might have died if one
person present hadn't remarked that
she had bought an awful valentine that
day-that very day-which she was
going to send to her dressmaker. The
topic drifted to dressmakers. and in a
half hour the weary head on the pillow
was itself again and the cards for the
funeral had been called in. The UNI

ated was for a progressive euchre party

ticed a basket of apples in the corner,
and thought apples would be a change.
SO he reached for them, and offered the
girl one, but she refused and began to
look troubled. He soon had his first
apple stored away, and, rs he began on
the second, he noticed her.
"Why angel, what's the matter" said
he.
"Oh. nothing, love-" said she.
"Yes, but there is, sweet" he urged:
"you look alarmed" and he bit into the
third apple.
But, sugar plum, / am not" she
persisted.

'you not to be, with that sad, sweet
face" said he; and as he reached for
the fourth apple, the voice of the girls
little brother rose in the hall.

Against the snakes there is an annu-
ally increasing bitterness. and If it were
not that Asiatics are Asiatics, such a
wholesale slaughter of these deadly
reptiles might be accomplished as
would thin their numbers very rapidly,
and in certain districts probably cxter-
inmate them. Yet unfortunately the
Hindoo persists in building huts with
out windows, and i'll keeping his fire
wood and domestic chattels i'll the dark
est corner of the hut, and in going with
bare feet and bare hands and without a
light of any kind to fetch them when
he needs them. The result is that he
disturbs a snake, and when the doctor
comes to see the corpse he finds either
on the fingers or. the toes the tiny
double puncture which is the cobra's or
korait's broad arrow Of death.
To combat the snake successfully
there is needed i'll the first place day.
light, and in the next, shoe-leather.
These reptiles are nocturnal, and against
boots are powerless. The result is that
all the time Europeans have been in
India there have been few cases of
snake-bite among them.
When a European meets q snake he
kills it; but when a snake meets a ma
tive. it kills him. The former lives in
well-lighted houses, and wears cloth
ing all over his body, and against this
double advantage the snake, the most
easily killed on crippled OF all creatures.
has 10 chance. The native. however,
goes cropping with bare limbs in the
corners of his pitch-lark rooms, and the
result is death, swift, painful, and in
evitable.
Another point of contrast that Illus
trates the fortunate immunity of Euro
peans is that their houses are raised
above the ground, and that the snake,
though it may make the complete cir
cult of the walls, discovers no means Of
ingress except the bathroom water
pipe, and this it ALWAYS finds covered
with perforated zinc for the very rnr-
pose of preventing snakes from coming
into houses.
The native hut, on the other hand. is
on the level Of the ground, and the
greater part Of the front is doorway"
protected only by hanging nets and
loosely made hurdles of straw or grasses.
The snake, therefore, incomnroded, it
may be, by the rain which has inuu-
dated it's hole, sallies forth to find drv
quarters, and has only to travel along
the wall Of the first hut to find an easy
passage open for it, and q comfortable
corner to occupy.-London Telegraph.

The French. italian War Of 1859.

This war was between Austria on the
m side and France and Sardinia

States of Italy-on the other. The
main instrument in bringing about the

of Sardinia, and the object which he

the Italian States under one ruler. At
this time Italy was divided into several
governments, all oyerawed by the mill
tary power of Austria, which now held
possession of Lombardy and Nenetia,
occupied the papal territory with troops,
and virtually controlled several of the
other States. Though one of the
smallest States III point Of population,
Sardinia was by far the most advanced
in industries and military power. The
ability Of Cavour's administration of the
affairs Of this small kingdom soon gained
for him the admiration of all Europe.
While representing his country at the
peace conference in Paris in 1866, he
succeeded in winning over Napoleon
III. to a promise Of active cooperation
in his plan for the u~nification Of Italy.
At reception at the Tuileries January /,
1859, q few words spoken by Napoleon
to the Austrian minister gave full no.

and Sardinia had been secretly prepar-

hostile movement Of Austria. April %,
