The Sandbagger.s Advice.

"I'll never forget my first experience
as footpad," said "Soaps" out at the
workhouse the other day. 'Tm not a
professional footpad or robber, but once
in Chicago thought I'd go ont and get
in my work with a stuffed club. Well,
who do you suppose picked out as my
first victlm2 A man with plug hat.
Did you ever hear of such a thing." and
Soaps, who never washes, fairly over
flowed with laughter.
"'Why, what is funny about that?'
s'Well, "a sandbagger-that is, pro-
fessional-never tackles man that wears
a plug hat. II don't do any good"
"Why notl"
"WelI, you are green. A sandbagger
attempts to strike either just in front of
or behind the bear. Those arc the most
effective places. Well, plug hat is so
constructed that no blow can be got in on
the points on the head it covers. The
rim is very stiff and breaks the force OF
the blow, and before second can be
given the man has cried out for help and
your attack has been in vain. Now you
know what to do when you are going
out at night-wear plug hat. It's
complete armor against sandbaggers. -

A Modern WoolIy Horse.

Louis J. Wyman, of Roxbury, Mass,
OWLS horse which is dressed in full
suit of wool instead of being clothed in
coat of hair like the ordinary everyday
horse. The wool is an inch long and OF
reddish brown shade. The owner
shows bundle of yarn made from il
and says he has enough TO make suit Of
clothes for the man who will exhibit the
horse. Mr.. Wymau bought the animal
from f. B. Rhodes, planter and stock
raiser of Spartanburg. S. G. The horse
was bred 10y thoroughbred Kentucky
horses and is perfect in form, 14t hands
high and weighs from $50 to S75pounds.
1t arrived on the Gate City from Savan-
nah, Georgia, last week, and has since
been recuperating from the effects ofhis
sea voyage. The covering of the animal
seems to be veritable wool, and has SO
been pronounced by number Of wool
dealers in Boston. The horse has no
foretop or mane--only a somewhat
thicker growth OF wool where these ap-
pendages should be. His tail, as well as
the rest OF him, is covered with the wool,
and, sngularly enough, hangs Imply
down between the legs. exactly as a
sleeps tail does. Another mark of the
sheep is the horses disposition to butt,
an offensive operation which he resorts
to frequently. Hartford Times.

now a strange sight in the South. A
white slave is yet more strange; still one
was seen ON the streets of Atlanta yes
terday.
John S. Hughes. white man of good
character, owed Gus Kaglcmacher sum
of money which he was unable TO pay.
He met Kaglcmacher yesterday, and
joklngly asked him if he would accept a
bill of sale to himself as pay for the debt.
Kaglcmachcr agreed "a lawyer was called
in, the bill of sale drawn up and prop
crly signed. In the document Hughes
sold himself, and his body after death,
to Gus Kaglemacher, the said Kagle-
macher to have control of the said
Hughes as long as hc might live. and to
barter, sell or convey him to Others if he
chose to do So" A copy Of the contract
was given each party.
After the contract was handed him
Hughes began to think more seriously of
the matter, and consulted lawyer as to
its validity. Upor being informed that
it would hold good in the courts, he
got drunk and was arrested. This morn
ing he was fined in the Police Court, and
his owner, 60 who was on hand, paid
the fine, and this evening took him out
to his farm, where, he says, he shall
work him for the balance of his life.
