BarnesyIlle's LiquOr-ShOp.

The city of Gainesville, Georgia, is run on strict prohibition prln- ciples. It has closed its saloons and has opened a liquor shop of it's own for the sale of whisky, wine, beer and other stimuIants to be used for medical. scientific and mechanical purposes. All sales are for cash, and the accounts of the public barkeeper are audited by the mayor and the commod council. Noth- ing but the best quality of liquor is sold.
 The Gainesville liquor-shop be- longing as it does to every citizen, will naturally attract to itself a large amount of patronage. If the gentlemen with red noses fall i'll very frequently and send for whis- key to be used for medicinal pur- poses, who shall say that they are not acting with commedable public fpirit?

4 Colony Up in the Clouds.

Life at the Lick observatory, over 4,000 feet above the sea level, on Il lofty summit with other mountain crests only tor ncighbors, is an in- teresting study. Here is probably the highest colony in California. The astrononomers and necessary employees of the observatory form a sttle world of their own, and few of them care often to go outside of it. The stage that comes once 9 day brings news from the world outside, and visitors, curious to see the wonders of the mauntain. A con tract with San Jose congressman secures all needed freight once a month, sometimes oftener. A but cher with supplies comes up the miles of tortuous mountain road once week. Cows and chickens 
 are adjuncts to the commissary de- partment. Quail, rabbits, and deer are plentiful in surrounding can yons, and some of the sports men, astronomers occasionally bring them down. The summer air is soft, and so rarifed as to exhila- rate and made great exertion seem slight. All the astronomers come from cities. yet none complain or sigh for attractions beyond those revealed by the marvellous teles- copes.-San Francisco Bulletin,

Lightning TypeSetting.

Two weeks ago Joe Haley, a Times compositor, bet $25 wth Joe w. McCann, a famous local type setter, that he could not set and correct 2000 ems of solid nonpa- reil type in one hour. He came up into the Sun composing room yes terday morning, and in the pres ence of E. A. Donaldson, the vete- ran former of the Times office tack led the practical end of the wager. Aaron Hayward, a Sun compositor, watched the type-seiting as official time keeper. The match against time began at 1 :35 o'clock exactly, and at ? :15 foreman Donaldson dis covered that NIeCann had set ex- actly 2103 ems of corrected type. The $25 were accordingly handed over to him. McCann is a compos- itor on Col. Shepard's Mail and Ex press. Local type settlers regard him as the champion type-setter, although Duguid, of Cincinnati, has to his credit the highest record in public contest. McCann has beaten the record in private several times. Tie average of good compositors is between 1000 and 1900 ems an hour.-New York Sun.

Made a break for freedom The thought made every nerve tremble, and cold sweat covered his body from head to foot. In an instant he was a man again. The corn was kind to him, for while it seemed to give way as he went, it caught the bullets that followed.

The Freed Convict.

The morning wind rustled the green corn as he passed by, and threw cool shower of dew upon his sleeve. It did not shrink from him, but passed through the coarse stripped cloth, and trickled over his skin the same as if he were an honest man. He was a felon, be- ing driven to work in brick field. The month was June. The air was sweet and clear; the mountain be- yond the lake, flecked with purple, brown and green, was sight to make any heart glad. But what cared he for the beautiful? He who worked in the summer sun from dawn to dusk, mnlding clay for other mems use and profit. The guard, gun in hand, cruel-faced and lynx-eved, stood at a distance, ready for break for liberty, and wishing that one would be made that he might have work to do.
 No; the felon had no need for trees, or mountains, or lakes, or singing birds, or waving corn. He must make brick, make brick, make brick, keep at it. keep at it, keep at 1t; only thus the elements spoke to

Fight with SmugglerS.

A Laredo, Texas, dispatch says 4 fight occurred up the river last night, on the Mexican side, between smugglers and Mexican custom off cers, in which the former were de- feated and their entire outfits cap- tured. It consisted of four horses, bridles, saddles aild twelve bales of smuggled goods, consisting of cali coes, domestic and other dutiable articles. The smugglers, five in number, fled after the fight began, abandoning everything they had. One horse was killed, and as the bales of goods are bloody, it is sup posed that some of the contrabands are wounded. Pursuit was insti- tuted for them. No captures were made, and it is supposed that the iugitives escaped to their side oi the river. They belong to an old gang who have long operated on the border, and many efforts have been made heretofore to capture them, which always proved unsuecessful and they are still st large.

Arthur in his annual address of the brotherhood of locomotive en- giBeers ct Richmond said he should never consider the "Q' strike fail ure except on the part of the road. It would serve to purge the brother hood of the dangerous element and to add largely to it's numbers. It was extremely mortifying, he said, to think that any of the members of the organization should so far forget themselves as to become in volved in any scheme::or plot to de- stroy life property. The brother hood condemns all acts of lawless- ness and will pnnish the guilty.
