Pulled the Bell for Apples.

From the Brunswick (Ga.) Breeze.
Said Brunswick & Western man:
I recolIect an amusing incident. A
very verdant looking kind of fellow got
on the train at Albany. He unsolicited
by the train boy several times to buy
apples, candy, etc., but was evidently
too close-tisted.
He suddenly, however, got it into his
head that he would like to have some
apples, and asked a drummer when the
hoy would be around again. The drum
mer told him that if he would pull the
bell cord it would fetch the boy. With
out a moments hesitation hayseed gave
it two violent jerks. The train was run
ming full speed, but the engineer, hear
ing the danger signal, downed brakes
and came to full stop.
/ was at loss, and SO were the pas
sengers, to account for the sudden stop
page of the train, and rushed forward
to see the engineer. On my way /
passed through the car in which hay
seed was, and he stopped me with.
Mister, how long will it be before the
apple boy is aroupd?" There was a
litter in the car and / smelt mouse.
''Who pulled that cord ?" I asked. II
did," rejoined hayseed; 81 wanted to
call the apple boy"
The joke was out, and signaled the

A Wells Flight.
From the Caledonia Adyertiser.

from the Caledonia Advertiser.
Mrs. M. M. Hall, of Clinton, Ia, who
has recently been here visiting her sis
ter, Mrs. w. 81. Wilder, met with re-
markable experience at Rochester last
week. She was the guest of friend,
Mrs. Page, or this city, whose husband
conducts harness business here.
Among other places the ladies visited
was Powers art gallery and the tower.
While at the latter place Mrs. Halls
veil became detached from her hat and
a slight breeze quickly waited
it over the railing and out of
reach. Down it went toward the
Main Street walk, 100 feet be-
low The ladies stood and watched
its slow and wavering descent until it
had nearly reached the pavement. Sud-
denly it struck another current of air
and was borne upward again. The
ladies watched its graceful movements
curiously and became more and more
interested as the airy fabric slowly tray
eled back in almost the same route it
had taken in its descent, and their sur
prise knew no bounds when the veil
actually returned to the tower and set
tied down fairly and squarely on the
owners head. Mrs. hall declares this
to be the fact, and those who met the
lady here certainly have no reason to
doubt her word

IT is perhaps dangerous to the welfare
of American newspapers to publish the
fact that printers in Central America
have extraordinarily easy times. A
Panama paper announces that it is
somewhat late in publication, owing to
there having been three feast days in
the week, during which no compositor
can be compelled or induced to work.
This plan of taking the world easy is
not understood in the states. 1t should
lead to natural sitting of population.
Those who wish for three holidays a
week should DRIFT southwark, while
those who prefer work and wages
should move northwest. Superfuous

A FEW years ago ''The Little Church
Around the Corner" became suddenly
famous, owing to the humane treatment
shown by the rector to deceased actor.
The change from that day to this is
shown by the kindly care given our
leading actors both in sickness and after
death. No church and no rector in the
land would now refuse religious burial
to any man or woman owing to associa-
ton with the theater. The religious
press is practically unanimous in its
kindly treatment of the actor. although
still deprecating the drama. Why CAL
vinists should feel averse to dramatic
presentations IS not easily understood
while it stands as historic fact that
Calvin frequently adjourned church
service to attend plays. The plays
were, however, strongly religious. One

The, Last Slave Cargo.

From the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle.
Probably the most interesting charac-
ter hereabouts- is negro man who was
one of the cargo of the Wanderer, the
last slave ship. to bring to this country
load of captives from Africa, Lucius
Williams, as he was christened by one
of the young ladies of the ia nily into
he was called in Africa, lives in small
hut on the outskirts of Hamburg, across
the river from here. Since freedom he
has earned a livelihood working gar
dens, saving wood and white washing.
He was a little surprised when asked
about his early life, bat talks we'll, once
he has begun, requiring to be ques-
toned frequently, however. AS Um-
walla, he was born Ia Guinea, according
to. his story, not far from Liberia. One
day, when he was about 10 years of age,
he was sent to his aunt to carry her
some pinders to plant. When he was
going through the woods two strange
black men seized him and bound his
hands. He cried terribly, and they
soon gagged him. They sold him to
native, who took him to Liberia. There,
for the first time in his life, he saw q
white man, and he was terribly fright
ened at him.
Umwalla was then taken to the Wan
derer, where large number of captives
had already been stored away in the
hold. The passage over was fraught
with untold terrors to the young savage.
A storm was encountered, and for days
the hold was fastened up, and numbers
of the negroes died from sickness caused
by the foul air. There were number
of ferocious men among the cargo who
had to be kept in chains.
When the Wanderer approached the
South Carolina coast she was sighted by
a government boat and given chase.
During the night she dropped: anchor
men and women was debarked.
Umwalla, or, as he was soon after
wards called, Lucius, was taken to Car
DINA plantation, near Beech Island, and
put to work there.
Lucius is very fond of the "white
folks" as he styles the family of his old
master and mistress, and frequently
calls to see them-walking several miles
to do 80. The style of punishment fol-
lowed by his tribe was to break the Gull
prit's neck by a sudden wrench from
forked stick.
Lucius tells in his quaint way, of the
interesting features of slavery. No ne
gro woman was permitted, however
gorgeous her toilet otherwise, to wear
veil or gloves. Negro men were neither
permitted to carry walking-cane nor
smoke a cigar on the streets. They
could not remain away from their quar-
tiers after o'clock at night without
permit from their master.
He is not lonesome here, for on
neighboring planlation-on Capt. Ben
Tillman's place-are many negroes from
his old home, and they frequently meet
and converse in African. They do not
attempt to impart the language to their
children, he says, and of course all YES
tiges of it save what they have engraft-
ed on the Southern patois, must soon
die out.

JAMES pawn, the novelist and CORE
spondent, has come to the conclusion
that the only salvation of our writer's,
and literary classes in general, lies in
going to bed early, getting ten hours of
sleep. and understanding that brain
work needs more complete and certain
recuperation than ordinary physical la
Dor. The Office and necessity of sleep
is getting to be better appreciated Lit
tie is heard nowadays about burning
midnight oil. Obedience to physiologi-
cal laws, alone, will enable man to es-
cape mental breakdown, at an early

1t is impossible to turn night into day;
or to habitually do two days. work in
one. Common sense and method are
better than brilliance, and judgment is
in the end ahead of genius.

The Spinster.
From the Atlanta Constitution.

A thoughtful writer calls attention to
the growing willingness OF women to go
through life unmarried. Once it was
considered a bad thing to be an old
fun of one.i Now it is different. Some
of the brightest and prettlest women be-
come SO much interested In the serious
work of life that they regard husbands
as altogether unnecessary inconven-
fences. They are satisfied with the state
of single bIesse. ness, and appear to be
just as. happy and useful as their married
sisters. It is all right. Il woman re-
mains single it is her own affair, and
outsiders need not concern themselves
about it. AS rule an old maid is an in
tellectual and interesting woman.

but more difficult of a satisfactory solu-
ton. The city of Paris now proposes to

and supply pipes. L axe Neufchatel is
noted for its perfectly pure water, fed
by the SHOWS that are frost-curded and
clarified, and constantly supplied from

tamination. The expense of this new
enterprise will be not less than $780,
600, 600. The pipes must be carried
twenty-five miles by means of mountain
tunnels. But the first law of life in
these days is to secure pure water, and
no expense can be too great which sup
plies great city with wholesome drink.
