A BIockade Anniversary.

Twenty-Five years ago Mr.. A.
Il. Powell sailed from the port
Charleston on the steamer Elizabeth,
a blockade runner, with 1920 bales
of cotton, bound for Nassau. There
we're four in Charleston who met for
that purpose. Mr.. Powell went as
the representative of the Middle
Georgia bank of Macon, of which he
was the cashier, and which owned
the bulk of the cotton. There were
so many steamers waiting for a dark
night to get out that the other mem
bers of the party decided to go to
Wilmington and ship from that port.
Mr.. Powell was determined to go and
took the chances. In his belt he had
$500 in gold, and in his coat collar
his mother had seWed six $500 bills
Of the Central Railroad and Banking
company, which was convertible al
most anywhere into gold. This pre-
caution was taken so that if he was
taken prisoner he would be allowed
to retain his clothing, and with
money he could buy his way out.
The Elizabeth passed out of port in
safety right under guns that bristled
on either side. Once in open water
she was attacked by a cruiser but
ran the gauntlet and escaped. She
finally reached Nassau where the
cotton was sold at an average Of
$500 per bale in good money. Mr..
Powell then went to London, where
he met the other members Of the
party, and a royal time they had.
On the anniversary of that
day Mr.. Powell celebrated the
event with a bottle Of Wine.-MacOn

There is a movement on foot to fit
up gardens on the roofs of the differ

idea is carried out it viii, no doubt,

during the summer who would other

A great many private dwellings, in
town are fitted up with these beauti-
full gardens, where, during the warm
summer evenings, the tenants sit and
enjoy themselves In an atmosphere
several degrees cooler than In the
street.
If the movement becomes general,
as it Is thought, this city in a short

Mr.. TayIor,s Little Joke.

Chicago News.
Mr. Hobart Taylor, the proprietor
of Chicago's most valued weekly pa
per, America, is still very young
man, yet he has already developed
humorous traits Of d subtle and
pungent character. He played a
practical joke on his editor, Mr.. Sla-
son ThOmpsOn-a joke which viii
probably rankle and tester in ThOmp-
sons bosom for many a day. Mr.
Taylor drummed a small boy into
his service and got him to copy off
one Of Keats's prettiest poems; this
copy Of the poem he sent to ''the
editor of America" with a note say
ing that the author was a lad only
10 years old, who would like to see
his work in America. In about two
days back came areal kind note from
Editor Thompson. 1t was pleasant
~ WOrded, but it returned the poem.
''My dear little friend" wrote Mr..
Thompson, ''yOur poem is very nice
for a little boy only ID years old, but
it is hardly good enough for Ameri-
ca. You must not be discouraged,
however, for success in life can be ac-
cOmplished only by patience and toll.
You would do well to keep on writing
poetry, and / doubt not that Ameri-
ca viii print what you write. Sincere

The Dogs Rather Liked 1t.

Some persons pushed a large New
foundIand dog off the bank into the
river above Niagara Falls, near Pros
poet Point, on the Canada side a few
days ago, expecting, no doubt, to
see him dashed to pieces on the rocks
below. They were doomed to dis
appointment, however, for after being
carried over the cataract the animal
landed In the deep pool just under the
point, swan around in the eddy for
a very short time, and fnallyreached
the rocks on the shore. He pulled
himself up and walked to the foot of
the inclined railway, the door Ofwhich
was opened for him, and the drenched
brute was allowed to walk up the
long fight of stairs and into the park.
Ten minutes after he was playing
about the park, apparently none the
worse for his recent hazardous eX-
perience. A similar experiment was
also tried another day, when a small
canine was thrown OF one of the
small islands into the current on the
American side. He went over the
falls, swan to the bank, craWIed up,
Wagged his tail in triumph, and walk
ed OF unframed. Graham. who sent
his little Spitz dog over In an ale
cask, feels pretty sick when told of
these occurrences. He says q man

Formerly it was universally belieV-
ed to deOdorize and to disinfect
meant the same thing-that what
ever would destroy or mask the bad
smells generated by filth or disease
would destroy the infection.
Every one now knows this to be an
error. The fumes of burning sulphur
are, to a certain extent, very effective,
and it came to be generally relied on
as disinfectant; but, according to
DR.. Harrington, of the Harvard Med
zeal School, Koch, by a long series of
experiments conducted by himselfa and
other experts, under the most SCENT
itic conditions, has proved that sui
phur fumes are wholly Intellectual
against the spores, or seeds, of mi
crObes, and also against the microbes
themselves, except on the surface of
infected articles.
Many other agents, also, hitherto
relied on, are declaredtO be worthless.
The only disinfeCtants now recon-
mended are carbOic acid, chloride of
lime and corrosive sublimate. The
employment of these articles requires
good Judgment, and they are not
adapted to such articles as stuffed
furniture, mattresses, outside cloth
ing, etc.
Steam, however, is speedily effect
i've against all microbes and their
spores, and penetrates all bulky
articles.
Professor Harrington urges that
the 4
town should own the requisite appa-
ratus and conduct the disinfectiOn,
since it is more a matter of public
than Of private interest, and its
thOrOughness can only in this way be
guaranteed. The state would gain in
the end.
The following is the substance of
the regulations for disinfectiOn in
hospitals, which are equally adapted
to private practice:
Bed and body linen are to be
changed daily; other articles about
the bed at once whenever sOiled. All
changed linen, bath towels and rub
Der sheets are to be Immediately
wrapped in a sheet soaked in carbOlic
acid, one part Of acid to forty of
water, removed to the rinse-hOuse as
soon as possible, and soaked six
hours in carbOlic acid of the same
strength;t the linen boiled for a half
hour, and washed with soft soap.
The rubber sheets to be rinsed in
cold water, dried, and aired for eight
/ hours. The bedspreads and blankets
to be aired eight hours daily.
Feeding utensils to be cIeansed in
boiling water Immediately after being
used. The discharges are tObereceiv-
ed in a bedpan containing half a pint
Of diluted carbOlic acid, one part to
twenty of water. The contents, be
fore being thrown into the chopper,
are to be thoroughly mixed with two
/ quarts of the same solution.
Both bedpan and hopper are then
/ to be cleansed with carbOlic acid, and
wiped dry. The patient, when sOiled
/ is to be cleansed with paper, and
finally with compress cloth wet il
carbOhc acid, and thepaper and cloth
/ burned at once.

A Spanish Love Story with a Boston
Hero.

A Spanish Love Story with a Boston
Hero.
Hereis a curiOus story Ofthe tryant
Guzman Blanco, uncrowned king of
Venezuela:
'Guzman, when he was President,
had a nephew of whom he was very
fond, and who was made by him the
cOmmander-in-chiefOt the Venezuelan
army. He was engaged to an Amer
lean girl, whose parentslived in Cara
cas- then, but now in Boston. For
some reason the girls father and the
President had a violent quarrel, and
the former was notified that it would
be to his welfare to leave the country.
In these Standardization countries
q man who values his life never
awaits a second invitation of this
sort. and the Boston gentleman, with
his family, took the next steamer.
They were accompanied to lie Guayra
by the young General, who made no
secret of his sympathy with the faith
er Of his fancee, and expressed his
views of the Presidents tyranny in
sent for the young man, and advised
him to hold his tongue and let the
girl go. The passionate lover gave
his uncle some very plain words,
which ended in his being offered a
choice between his commission in the
army and his North American sweet
heart. He broke the sword over his
knees, threw the severed blade at
Guzman's feet, and tore off his epau-
lettes. That night all the statues of
Guzman fell down. 1t was discovered
that the bronze had been sawed
where the feet met the pedestals, and
a rope used to tumble them over.
OF course the young General was sus-
pected, and he followed his girl to
Boston to escape his uncles wrath.
The romance ended in a marriage, as
ell good love stories do, and after
residing in Boston the couple re-
turned to Caracas, where they now
live-she one of the most attractive
and accomplished ladies in the city,
and he an exporter of coffee and
chocolate"

As he spoke he lifted from his head
the brOad-brimmed nat, showing a

looked at it the reporter could not
repress q start.

doctor, and the man, noticing the
start, smiled grimly and said:

The reporter opened the door,
and grasping the bright, shining
blade by the handle, moved toward
the visitor. As he advanced, the
specter retreated until ne stood on
the stone steps leading to the street,
and then, with a mocking laugh,
turned and disappeared down the
street.
"Well, anxiously asked the doc
tor, after he had returned, what was
it?''

I'VE gladly give up much OF our ed
itorial space this week to the favor OF
our Kimberley correspondent on
"Texas Preachers and Free Schools.
1t is an important and very pertinent
topic, especially at this time and in
this community. The writer, who is
both preacher and teacher, 10 in a
condition to speak with considerable
authority on tho subject. AS he in
Inmates, he once, and not very long
since, entertained the too common
view in Texas that our public school
system is inimical to religion. He
has found reason to change his views,
and gives, we think, some unanswer-
able reasons for his change of opin-
ion. We can understand why the
Roman Catholic church is opposed
to our American democratic system
of FREQ schools, but for the life of us
we cannot see how the preachers and
members OF Protestant churches can
consistently do 30. The chief mission
of our Savior, rs declared by himself,
was to enIighton, and save the poor
and lowly in every country, who con
stitute The great mass Of mankind.
With what color of consistency may
we send missionaries to such in pa
gan lands while turning a deaf ear to
the starving little ones at home for
the bread of knowledge, the light of
science, which alone can fit them to
discharge their duties as coming citi
zens of our great Republic, which
must soon pass into their hands!
and what strangely fallacious idea
that knowledge, 80 nearly allied to
good morals and religion, is detri-
mental to these great interests
We are glad to know that no such
monstrous and mischevioIs delusion
prevails in the United States save as
a local, and we trust transient mis-
conception of the truth. We can
conceive of nothing mere Christlike
than to bring the means of enlighten-
ment home to the hungry and thirst
ing souls of the great masses of our
people, as our public school system
Processes to do, and to a large extent
actually does. We commend this
subject to the praye.ful consideration
Of preachers and people.

ApRopos OF the yelps and snarl'

ApRopos OF the yelps and snarls
from the small beer editors and poll,
ticians which yet sometimes assail
us, on the ground that n long while
ego, in Indiana, we were Republican
a thing, by the way, which we
never for moment sought to con-
coal-let US state a few facts:
We left the Republican party in
1872, along with large number OF
the men Of principle Of that party
who were Disguised with tho corrup'
ton of Grants administration, and,
recognizing the fact that the war was
over, thought the time had come for
national reconciliation between the
late warning sections. Among those
old Republicans, we will mention two
by way of illustration: General John
M. Palmer Of Illinois, and Colonel
Isaac p. Gray Of Indiana The latter
is the present Democratic governor
OF his state, and came near being
nominated for vice president this
year. The former was tho Demo.
cratic candidate for governor Of Hi
nois during the late canvass. Now
these are noted persons, while we are
M obscure one But we have to say
that they have not been more stead,
fast in their political course since
1872 than have we. In fact, we
showed greater faith in our princi
Piles than they, by coming South to
make our home. Yet they are hon
ored by tho Democratic party of the
North, while the whipper-snappers
and camp. followers of Democracy
down here continue to bark at our
heels! Did we not know that the
whipper-snappers do not represent
the good, solid people of this section,
but disgrace them, we would say that
the contrast above shown is very
much in favor Of the superior unsec-
tional and liberal policy of tho North
ern Democracy But knowing all
the circumstances, we do not say SO.

Rise aad Fall OF the Harrison Family

II is sad 10 note how long line OF
honored ancestry may fail through
one OF the defendants falling into q
compromising position " (as tho re-
porters would say. The Harrison
family affords case in point. The
first OF the family OF whom history
takes notice was John Harrison, one
OF Cromwells adherents, and one Of
the guards Of King Charles l prior
TO his execution, Hume says he
was "the son of n butcher" II fact
which, M indicating the democratic
origin Of the family, is one of the
most favorable TO them on record
The next ono known to history WAS
Benjamin Harrison, a signer OF the
declaration OF American Independ-
ence; and hence, no doubt, a good
Jeffcrsonian Democrat Next in or

tho Hero Of Tippecanoe,' otherwise
known as "Old Tip" son of Ben
iamin /, and tho first governor of the
Northwest Territory. We have the
pleasure Of presenting his portrait
below, remarking in passing, that we

little political principle involved in
his election as there was in that OF
1910. The grand son does not drink
hard cider, but he stands pledged to
free whisky for the people in gen
eral. General William Henry Harri,
son lived AID died with the reputa.
ton of an honest man. Whether
our later Harrison will go out OF
Office with the same reputation is
more than doubtful. An Indiana
paper, the Hancock Democrat, pre-.
sents the contrast MS follows:
When General Harrison is seated
in the presidential chair, the fact
having well become patent to him
that money is potent and powerful,
in his official future actions he
will have to lend himself to the
power that gave him the seat once
occupied by his grandfather, who was
