AOLlAN HARPS.
They Can Be Made by Almost Any
One.

OI1e.
Have any Of our young friends ever
seen an Eolian harp? 1t is q musical
instrument made by the Greeks many
centuries ago, and hung among the
trees or where the wind could blow up
on it. making a low, soft musical
sound. To make one is very easily
done and inexpensive. for most OF the
material can be found about the house.
Wax a piece OF buttonhole twist about
two and a half feet long; tie each string
strongly 10 a small peg and thrust the
pegs down the crevice between the two
sashes OF your southern or western
window, stretching the silk as tightly as
possible. 1t will surprise you. the
sweetness and variety Of the tones the
wind will bring from it.
Having done this, you may be moved
to go further and prepare a more
elaborate -Eolian harp. Take some
quarter-inch wood AID max box the
length OF your window frame, four or
five inches wide. Bore few small
holes in "a circle near what will be the
upper side of the back of the box,
fasten two bridges like violin bridges,
one at each end. and stretch on them
several strings OF fine c;ttgut cpntriv-
ing n series of screw pins to aid in the
tight stretching necessary, and allow
OF their being tuned to one note. Then
raise your sash on the windy side OF
the house, and the wind passing
through the hole and over the strings
will, in its rising and falling. make
very sweet music.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Sept. 26.-An even
ing paper states that the management of
the St. Louis Republic is negotiating with
Dallas. Tex. people to start a daily edi-
ton of the Republic there. A reporter
of the paper making the statement in
terviewed Col. c. II. Jones, managing
editor of the Republic with reference to
this report and Col. Jones Is credited
with having SAID ''There is no news
item in the matter yet. The matter is
under discussion at present, but there is
nothing definite. The fact of the matter
is this-the people Of Dallas want new
paper there Several parties have been
approached on the subject and the Re
public among the others. There seems
to be d particularly strong desire that
the Republic establish a branch there
1 have conferred with repre-
sentative men OF Dallas, Mayor
Conner and others and have told them
on what Conditions and under what cir
cumstaneeE the Republic might be in
duced to enter the field there. They are
now considering the conditions which
were submitted them, SO you see the
matter is entirely prOblematical. That
is really all there IS TO the matter. -
Mr. Jones declined to state what were
the conditions under which he would
enter in the Texas venture, but the
claim is made that from sources other
than the Republics managing editor, II
is learned that when the Dallas delega-
ton called upon him he said that he
would agree to establish paper in their
city if they would give him a subsidy and
guarantee him large advertising pat
ronage from the beginning. The subsidy
he demanded was a rather large one. A
meeting of the solid citizens of Dallas
was held in the mayor 5 Office last FRI
day The gentlemen pledged themselves
to give 500 200 to enable Col. Jones to
start Dallas edition of the Republic.

Tho Last Cargo OF Slaves.

Probably the most interesting char
acter hereabouts, says The Augusta
(Ga.) Chronicle, 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 fam
lily into which he was sold, or "Um-
walla," as he was called in Africa, lives
in small hut on tho outskirts of
Hamburg, across the river from here.
Since freedom he has earned u liveli-
hood working gardens, saving wood
and whitewashing. He was little
surprised when asked about his early
life, but talks we'll once he has
begun, requiring to be questioned fire.
quently, however. Umwalla was born
in Guinea, according to his story, not
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 u native, who took
him to Liberia. There, for the first
time in his life, he saw white man,
and he was terribly frightened at
him.
Umwalla was then taken to the
Wanderer, where large number of
captives had already been stored away
In the hold.
When the Wanderer approached the
South Carolina coast she was sighted
by government boat and given
chase. During the night she dropped
anchor off Pocotaligo and the cargo of
negro men and women was debarked.
Umwalla, or, as he was soon after
ward called, Lucius, was taken to q
Carolina plantation near Beach island
and put to work there.

that God does not love you. You don't
