A Gigantic Negro.
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution. Of
Upon the Tarver plantation, in Baker
county, there is negro, a giantn
height and of almost superhuhian
strength. His feet are large in proper
ton to his stature, and it being imp9Ssi-
BILE to purchase any shoes large enough
for him at the stores, they have to be
made to order at great outlay of
leather and cost. He puts his large feet
to excellent use, being rapid pedeS-
trian. He frequently leaves the planfa-
ton to foot it to town at the same time
that some other party departs behind a
fast horse, and when the driver
reaches Albany, distance of over
twenty miles, he finds the
walker already in the city. He is
fond of doing acts of great strength
and prOwess, and goes by the name of
Sam Satan. Between the Tarver plan
tatiOn and town there lies an old GENE
terry. Once, while making rapid strides
toward Albany, Sam neared the grave
yard, and he heard some one in a loud
voice crying, Get up, getG" repeatedly.
AS he reached the place he saw an old
man apparently driving pair of white
horses, and calling out to them in q
loud voice. Upon approaching the
horses and driver the trio suddenly dis
appeared. There was sudden rush of
air past him, and all was still. No sign
could be seen of either horses or driver.
Sam now allows some distance to lie be-
tween him and that resting place of the
dead in his pedestrian tours to Albany.

Paying Attentions.

Harper BaZdf.
As it is obviously young mans duty
to pay attentions to some young woman,
considering that this is really the chief
motive of social intercourse, it is rather
hard upon him that he no sooner begins
to fulfill his mission, and calls, and
drives, and dances more or less boldly
with one damsel, than all the match
making mothers and all the single
women to whom a love affair, anybOdy'S
love affair. is precious and entertaining,
interchange ideas upon the subject and
report that young CrayOn is in love
with Miss Coupon; and although he
,may never have thought of love in
relation to Miss Coupon, and although
:, he may possibly have drifted into gem
!, uine affection sooner or later if nobody
I had meddled-Since proximity is dam
, gerOuS factor, and brings about more
marriages than matchmaking = the
premature report has very damaging
effect; he begins to see that unless he
is serious in paying attentions he is
compromising not only himself but the
young woman, and keeping other suit
Ors at distance; and, although he may
not know whether he has any positive
designs or no, and his emotions may be
in state of evolution and he may not
entirely understand his own designs,
yet he is put upon his guard, the
cordial relation between the two
cOols, and he earns the name of being a
heartless trifler, or is forced into hasty
declaration before he is ready to make
ii. Naturally the lOOker-On says that he
ought to know his own mind; that he
has no business to devote himself to a
woman whom he doesn't love. But
love is not an instantaneous affair, like
being struck by lightning it is a growth.
And how, prithee, is young man to
know whether he loves or not if he may

CHINESE MANDARINS.,
Their Office and the Buttons
Which Indicate Their Rank.

w men 1nulCaCc Inelf rank.
The Chinese mandarin, with his gOr-
geOuS dress, his glittering button signi-
flying his rank, and the threefold u wer
of the civil governor, the military, ,m-
mander and the judge, is always all in
tereSting figure to the Western mind.
The mandarin's life, however, is not all
ease and glitter, nor is their power mn
limited. They may be depOsed at any
time, and as they are held responsible
for all crimes committed in their dis
trictS, they may be baniShed to Man
churia, or FormOSa, for somebody efSeis
OffenSe, they are seldom entirely atease.
The mandarinS are promoted from the
ranks of the people, after passing with
high credit the SevereSt examinations.
A man may win the rank of mandarin
of the ninth, or lowest rank, and con-
tinue to work at his trade of mason or
carpenter. Above that rank, however,
he becomes an official, but is allowed
only the salary that he might earn as a
day laborer.
AS matter of practice, the mandarins
generally enrich themselves from fees
which they exact from suitors before
emperor, Kang-hi, the mandarins make
w
possible. Said Kang-hi:
ut is well that all men should have a
wholesome fear of the tribunals. l de-
sire that all having recourse to the
magistrates be treated mercileSsly. so
that allamay dread to appear before
them. Let good citizens settle their dis
putes like brothers, submitting to the
arbitration of elders and mayors of the
cOmmunes. Let all obstinate sutOrs be
crushed by the judges, for such is their
desert"
After the student has won the silver
button, which is the mark of the ninth.
or lowest, grade of mandarinS, he may
persevere and make himself, by hard
study and ability, a mandarin of the
first class. AS he passes up the scale,
his insignia are as follows:
Ninth class mandarin, button of sill
yer.
Eighth class, silver button.
Seventh class, gold button.
Sixth class, a bone button.
Fifth class, crystal button.
Fourth class, dark blue button.
Third class, a light blue button.
Second class, light coral button.
| First class, a dark coral button.
This button is about the size of a
pigeons egg, and is placed at the top of
the hat on ceremonial occasions.
The rank given to the mandarin, or
who in Chinese is called kuen-the
name mandarin being of Hindoo origin
is not hereditary. except backward. 1t
ehnObleS the receivers ancestors. and
not his descendants. The only persons
who bear hereditary titles in China are
the descendants of Confucius and of the
emperors. Even the latter have to
pass the regular examinations for pub
lie officers. -
The only honors and privileges given
to the members of the imperial family
are small pension, the right to wear 4
red or yellow girdle, or a peacock's
feather in their cap, and to be carried
by team of eight or twelve palanquin
bearers. Special mandarins arey APP
pointed to oversee them, with the right
to fog them if they do not obey

Forced to Assign.

George q. Jacoby. the well-known
wholesale dealer in liquors, was forced
to make an assignment yesterday for
tho benefit of his creditors. This was
somewhat of a surprise. as Mr.. Jacoby
was looked upon as successful bust
ness man, but it was caused by losses
in business, poor collections, local option
in Dakota and high license and
patrol limits in Minneapolis. The as
Signment was precipitated by the at
tachment of Elias Black & Sons, Gin
cinnati. A schedule of assets and liza
bilities has not been prepared. but it is
thought there will be no losses. Mr..
Jacoby will probably pull himself to-
gether again, and in regretting his pres
ent difficulty, his friends hope to see
him emerge all right again.

THE GEORGE THEORY
Is Practically Acceptable to the
Liberal Minister'S.


c. J. Buell., president of the anti-Pov-
erty society, addressed the liberal min
listers yesterday morning on the the
"MOral Aspects of the Land Question"
He opened with the statement
that he believed that the Henry
George theory was going to help
bring about the millennium. The hold
ing of hand was historically considered,
the speaker saying that in former times
land was held in common and period
ically distributed. Mill, Ricardo and
Spencer revived the old truth in the law
of rent, but Henry George has pointed
out the simple and equitable rule, which
is TO disturb no one in his holding, but
TO take that value which society gives.
Labor and capital are naturally friends.
and state socialism failed by creating an
antagOnism between the two. Mr.. Buell.
took up the political question, and de-
clared that much of the evil of the day
was due to political corruption. A dis
cuSSiOn followed, in which Mr.. Shutter,
Mr.. Powers, Mr.. Jansen and Mr.. Sim
mons joined. All thought that the
Henry George theory was correct in
whole or in part. Mr.. Harrington, of
Excelsior, will read paper next week.

English barque gladly took the refugee
on board and carried him to England.
From that country shipment was COM

first thing the Russians do on landing is
to join the Society of American Mill
