A Cosmopolitan Woman.

She went around and asked subscriptions
For the heather black Egyptians
And the Terra del tuegians,
She did:
For the tribes round Athabasca,
And the men of Madagascar,
And the poor souls Of Alaska,
SO she did;
She longed, she said. to buy
Jelly cake, ana jam and pie
For the Anthropophagi,
So She did.
Her heart ached for the Australians
And the Borriobooli- Ghalinns,
And the poor, dear Alnahaggar,
Yes, IL did:
And she loved the black Numidian,
And the ebon Ahyssinian,
And the charcoalcolored Guineanr
Oh, SHE did,
And she said she'd cross the seas
with a ship of bread aud cheese
For those starving ChiupanzeeS,
Sure, she did.
How she loved the cool Norwegian
Aud the poor, half melted Feejeean,
And the u az Molucca Islander
She did;
She sent PIE ami canned tomato
To the tribes be ond the Equator,
But her husband ate potato,
So he did;
The poor, helpless, homeless thing
OILY voice falters as singl
Tied his clothes up with string,
Yes, he did

The storm interfered somewhat with the
proceedings in the Stewart will contest in
New York as some of the interested parties
though quite wealthy, were unable to coax
a hackman 10 drive them to court The
sensation produced by the commencement
of this suit had hardly reached its zenith
when 1t was announced that another big
will contest was about to be begun. When
the late Charles G Ravens died he left an
estate valued at S3,OOO,000 His will pro-
vided for small requests to certain nephews
and nieces, but the bulk of the property
was given to charity. One of the nephews
has begun d contest of the will. New York

The Blacxshear Accident.

The accident which occurred on the Sa-
vannah, Florida and Western railway yes
terday near Blackshear. the details of which
are given in our dispatches this morning,
was an appalling one. A broken axle was
the cause of it. AS far as we now know no
blame attaches to any one for it. A broken
axle is something that cannot always be
guarded against, though extreme watchful-
ness can greatly lessen the number of acct
dents from that cause.
There is no statement that the trestle was
not in good condition. The presumption is
that it was. 1t was not built to stand the
pounding of heavy car, driven along at
high rate of speed. Few trestles are
The list of killed and Injured is a long
one. The reading of it fills the heart with
sadness. There are several Savannah
names in it. One is that OF railroad Off
cal who had been promoted only few
hours before he met his death, and was on
his way to occupy his new post OF duty.
His life closed while the glow of happiness,
caused by the warm congratulations of his
friends, was vet in his heart.
OF course there will be an Investigation.
If there is blame anywhere the fact ought
to be made known. The public knows about
the accident and its terrible consequences.
and it now wants to know If it was caused
by any negligence, lack of discipline o.
ANYTHING else that could have been guarded
against.

The report comes by way of Washington
that the South Carolina Republicans, who
have been alternating since the memorable
Hampton-Chamberlain campaign ia 1876,
have been recalled 70 activity through some
mysterious agency, and will make vieor-
Gus fight this fall. Perhaps one of South
Carolina's relics of carpet-bagism will be
exhibited to the public. These relics Of a
remarkable era have lately become quite
an interesting study, but they no longer
carry voters around in their pockets.

the Republicans also pleases the MugwumDs,

The blizzard did not blight ex- Postmaster
Joe Manlcy's party enthusiasm. While
New Workers were wading through the
snow, or shivering at home, he sent to the
Tribune a glowing dispatch, saying four
more municipal election, in Maine had gone
Republican. 1t appears that Mr. Manley
attaches even greater importance TO this
victory than those of last week In his
opinion, it not only gives black eye to
tariff reform, but shows that the people of
the country repudiate the fisheries treaty.
Doubtless the dispatch had the effect Of
warming the few nearly frozen Republicans
who read the Tribune.

The Gamins Invent a Game.

Gamins about New York city have a
new game, or new variation of an old
one. 1t is played with ball, but in
stead of bat as an instrument of pro-
pulsion, thick stick about eight inches
long is balanced over a paving stone,
and the ball laid upon the end of it. The
boy who is "at bat" picks up stone or
other heavy thing end throws it down
with all his strength upon the end of the
stick that projects over the edge of the
paving stone Upon which the stick rests.
The effect is of course, to send the hall
flying up in the air. The harder the end
of the stick is hit the higher and the
farther away goes the ball, and the skill
full batter can, besides, control some
what the course of the ball by the way in
which he makes the stone strike the
stick. While the ball is in the air the
boys on bases make their runs, and are
out" if it is caught. York Sun.

should be members of the unions with

other grounds. A breeze was started

Old.Time Scotch Horrors.

In the reign of James 1. of Scotland
there was born in East Lothia, village
few miles from Edinburgh, Sawney
Beane, the son of poor but hard work
ing people. Evincing from boyhood a
hatred of all labor, and displaying every
kind OF vicious quality, he at an early
axe abandoned his home and fed to
Galloway. He was accompanied by fit
companion for his crimes in the person
OF a young woman, native of the same
village. The home of this pair was in a
cave of about mile in length and of
considerable breadth, the mouth of
which was washed by the sea, the tide
sometimes penetrating the cave a dis
lance of 200 yards. The victims we're
waylaid under cover of night on their
way from country fairs, or, in the case
of isolated travellers across the country,
were openly attcked in daylight. The
same soul sickening mutilation was in
fiicted in each case; the abdomen was
cut open and the entrails dragged out
and the body carried to the cave. To
prevent detection they murdered every
traveller they robbed, and for years they
continued their horrible calling. In this
manner, the chronicler tells us, they
lived until they had eight sons and six
daughters, eighteen grandsons and four
teen granddaughters. After long
career of murder the gang were cap
tured by King James, who, reused to
action by the long immunity of the Grim
mails from detection, headed body of
troops and succeeded with bloodhounds
in unearthing from the cave the whole

An Old. Reliable Firm.

One of the most pleasant and satisfactory
experiences in business is the evidence of con-
fdence occasionally shown by the public to .
long-e .tablished firm. The John p. Lowell
Arms Co., 147 Washington Street, received a
few days ago, from a man in Tennessee, Of
whom they had no previous knowledge, q reg
istered letter containing Fire Hundred Dollar
bill, with an order for sixty-six dollars worth
of goods, requesting the change to be returned.
A careful examination of the bill proved its
value and the ordt was filled as desired. The
sender lived in a remote locality where the
postoffice was his only means o. communities
ton and the bill referred to was his most con-
venient sum to inclose. 1t would not be re-
markable If this firm, who have been identified
with historical Dock Square for forty-eight
rs,should thus win the confidence of Bost n
or New England people. but 1t Is worthy of note
that their success in business has grown out
OF the sound reputation that extends through
out the United States. Any one who has seen
their advertisements of Guns Rifles, Revolvers,
Cutlery, Sporting Goods and Fishing Tackle in
this paper can feel perfectly safe in sending
them any amount Of money and be sure to get
the full value in return, or If unsatisfactory in
any. way, their money refunded. All of our
readers wanting goods in their line will do
well to send cts. in stamps for their large 100

YELLOW FEVER.

Another case of yellow fever was re-
ported in the person of Raphael DeLano,
of rs Mulberry street, New York city.
De Lano arrived from Jacksonville, Fla,
with his wife and two children, and was
taken sick soon after his arrival. Shortly
afterwards black vomit began, and the
doctor notified the police and board of
health, who at once had him removed to
the reception hospital. De Lano told the
doctor that he had been in Jacksonville
during the epidemic, and had nursed
several patients, but had never caught it
himself.
