Mr.. eowLss' EXPERIMENT.

The little room was stufy. the little room VIZ
hot;
There was nothing disagreeab!e that the lit.
room was not;
The boys were more than half asleep. tht
teacher gave a nod - ---
Then reused himself to rattle W youaSstel

wow, boys he said. Gust follow me: 70
once think well yield
To summers overwhelming power, and seel
the pleasant field:
There Nature spreads her treasures; open wide
your sleepy eyes
And look on Natures wonders; learn her So
c-ets and grow wise
The boys made no objection. so they trooped
out IN a mass:
Trey perched themselves along val or set
tied on the grass.
While Mr.. Bowles the teacher. showed. in low.
impressive tones.
The lessons 70 be gathered from the leaves or
messy stones.
The boys thought this quite gloomy: they were
yearaing TO be free,
For lessons and the meadow didn't seem 70
quite agree;
So Simpson Junior watched his chance and
slipped away unseen:
The gentle zephyrs wandered DER the spot
where he had been.
Then while the learned teacher went softly
maundering on,
The boys stole slyly out OF sight TIL FIVE OF
them had gone;
But still the teacher lectured OF With scientific
zeal
And showed the way the rlminants digest

without more aid from him,
An1 Robinson was hunting for some non-exist-

both his legs
Yet Mr.. Bowles dilated on the progress of the
Within the switch he carried and he laid It On
his lap,
And produced a pocket microscope and care
fully explained
The extraordinary methods by which Natures
ends are gained.
Next he lifted up his spectacles to ask his little
class
Some questions on the method Of the growth
OF meadow grass,
When, 10! the sight that met his eyes abruptly
made him stop
No boy was left but Jenkins, rho aras Steering

So Mr.. BowIes determined his new system
wouldn't do.
IL boys preferred to climb a tree to learning
- how it grew.
He thrashed them all next morning, and they
had no further chance
OF leading learned Mr.. Bowles another such a

for his pistol, but in a secoud Jockey Todd
was on him and held his hand in a firm

Jockey Todd put the pistol in his pocket.

GOVERNOR GORDON'S VIEWS.
He Thinks the Southern People Need
Have No Fear from the Repub.
lican Administration.

ATLANTA, Nov. Ex-Governor John
B. Gordon was inaugurated for his
second term of Office to-day. After
referring to the continued growth of
Georgia and OF the South under Dem
ocratic rule and the harmony between
the races, he said
II do not believe that the return of
the Republican party to pow
er in this era Of prosperity and peace
means, or can mean, the enactment OF
force bills and the enslavement OF
the states. In this American Repub-
lie the reigning political party pro
poses, but the sovereign people dis
poses. Passion may cry aloud for fed
eral intervention in the affairs OF
states, but theomnipotent fiat Off lofty
patriotism which says the hearts OF
the American people will surely con
denim it. What possible excuse could
be given for interference by the gener
al Government in the affairs of Georgia
that would not also justify interfer'
ence with any state in the Union
What evil exists here that does not
exist elsewhere, ana which is so full o
danger that to correct it the funda
mental laws must be ignored and state
heod imperiled? lean not doubt tina
there are men in high places whose
misjudgment of the Southern people
or whose sectional bias would leaC
them TO. the very threshold of revolu
tionary and destructive legislation.
"Take courage in the thought tina
our interest is the interest OF the North

MI Dalton, Postmaster Of the House
of Representatives, and an Indiana
democrat for many years, says Of the
newly elected President. 'In six
months there will be more complain
ing of Mr.. Harrison by republicans
than by democrats He will give
good, clean, and able administration.
Everthing about it will be hightoned
and honorable. Democrats and the
people generally will have nothing To
complain Of. 1t will be a conservative
administration, much more liberal
than the extremists would desire, and
no man or clique OF men can run Mr.,
Harrison. He will be the President.
This will cause some heart burnihgs
in his party. Heis a civil service re-
former, and is us firm as Cleveland.
In this be will antagonize those OF his
party who will demand clean sweep.
Some OF his party will wish a vigorous
and oppressive policy in the South.
They will be disappointed lie will
adopt the most liberal south
ern poliecy any republican has ever
thought of. He will treat the south.
ern people we'll 7 know the man.
He is republican, but he is not lack
ing in wisdom. His appointments il
the South will all 60 to republicans.
He will not appoint a. democrat to any
office. He is too much OF n partisan
for that. But he will appoint no car.

educational question, on the pension
question, on the tariff, and all those
issues The picture that Mr.. Dalton
has drawn is a brighter one than most
: democrats can see jnst at present, but
