She Told the Cxar,s Fort III m e

A strange story is going the round of the continental papers, to tho following effect, says the Paris correspondent of the London Telegraph:
 Some twenty years ago the present czar, at that time heir apparent to tho Russian throne, had his fortune told by a gypsy woman, whom he met by acci- dent while out shooting.
 The gypsy, totally unaware of her cas- ual clients exalted rank, examined the palm of his hand and prophesied many things to him-among others that he should not outllve his 46th birthday.
 It is stated that all her other forecasts have been realized, one after the other, greatly to the disquietude of Alexander Alexandrovich, who is notoriously super stitious. The czar entered upon his 10th year on the 10th of April, and has ap- peared to suffer from more than usually severe depression of spirits since his birthday anniversary.
 His consort, whose health h;T been delicate for some time past. Is to be distressed by the sioonfy stat "f the emperors mind, brought about by brood. Ing over the gypsy dismal prophecy.

The Sons of HeOlD.

A new and curious sect has recently grown up in Africa, the Bcna-Riamba, or "Sons of Hemp" a society of hemp mak- CTS, who, calling themselves ''friends, :" are bound together by the ties of mutual hospitality. It has had some new light thrown upon it in the account of a jour- ney up the Kasai by Charles Somcrville Bateman: Its initiatory rites are pro- found and unfathomablo mystery. and whether to describe it as a secret broth erhood, or a society for the propagation of licentiousness, 1 am uncertain. So far as smoking of Riamba Lhempl itself is con- cerned, there can be no reasonable doubt but that the Matchioko introduced it pri- marily for the purpose of fraud, since persons under the influence of that poi sonous narcotic are temporarily insane, and therefore at the mercy of tho first cr,.el and crafty trader that camo across t'.em." Another authority, however, thinks that the society grew out of po- litical revolution among the BaShilcnge people in 1890, when the Progressist party broke down old commercial barriors. and the custom of bhang or hemp making smoking was introduced from Zanzibar to become ''one of the most baneful institu- tiOns in Central Africa.

A Russian Court Ball.

Nine o'clock. The doors of the pri- vate apartments of the Windsor Palace open. Immediately there is 8 deathly silence. A voice announces "the Elm peror." The Tsar advances followed by all the members of his family, each one in the rank assigned to him by his de- gree of relationship. The first bars of the polonaise immediately re-echo through the rooms. It is not a dance, but a cadenced march, the traditional promenade which opens the ball. The grand marshall and grand mistress take the head of the procession. Generally this vener rable couple represent between them pretty nearly two complete cen turies.
 The emperor gives his hand to one of the grand duchesses, the empress to one of the foreign ambassadors, and other couples form in their suit and proceed around the room. After this obligatory ceremony the sovereign goes to chat with the diplomatic corps or with his grand dignitaries, and quadrilles and waltzes begin; but the ball does not be- come really animated until the ma zurla, that dashing military and par eX- cellence national dance. The cavalier marks the rhythm of the music by strik- Ing the floor with the heel of his spurred boot; he raises his partner in his arms like a trembling bird, dashes across the room in three bounds, deposits his prey at the other end and falls on his knees before her.

Early Objections to Coal.

The discussion of the probability of ;here being deposit of coal in the Thames valley and under the city of London, of which there seems to be con- siderable evidence, recalls some interest ng facts connected with it's earliest ase in that city, which arc published in he Hardware Trade Journal. When .oal was first introduced into London as a 'uel very serious objection was taken to ts use. It appears that in the beginning ,f the fourteenth century, brewers and smiths of the city, finding the high price of wood pressing hard upon their returns resolved to make some experiments with coal, but immediately an outcry was 'aised against them bypersons living near ;he breweries and forges; the king was )etitiOned, and a law was passed prOhlb- ting the burning of coal within the city.
 Those who tried it, however, found the lew fuel to be so much superior to wood that they persisted ill it's use. But so determined was the government to SUD- press what was regarded as an intolerable nuisance that a law was passed making the burning of coal in London capital offence, and it Is recorded that one man 1t least was executed under that law.
 It would appear that the ladies were most bitterly opposed to the lsc of coal for domestic purposes. They considered the smoke to be ruin- ous to their complexion, and would not attend parties at houses in which the ob- Iectionable fuel was used. Some persons went the length of refusing to eat food of any kind that had been cooked on a coal tire.-Exch ange.

 A pitiful illustration of the determine tion and grit animating the old soldiers of the Confectionery was witnessed in the governors office recently, says the At .anta Journal. MT. John M. Varnadoe, or Telfair county, came in on crutches to apply for pension. His left leg was off above the knee, the right foot was stiff sned out perfectly straight and his hands were very rough and horny. MT. Varna- Joe is an illiterate farmer, and being un- able to write his name made his cross mark to the application. After he re- .eived his order for $50 he was asked by Capt. Tip Harrison what he could do coward making a living. He replied that le could do anything on farm that any other man could do. He sat down on the 1oor and showed how he chopped cotton, oropelliDg himself along the row by means of his hands. He also cut wood oy sitting down to 1t, and on one occa- sion cut and split 13O rails in a day. He lug the well on his place and reshingled lis house. MT. Varnadoe has a wife and tight children, and seems as happy and 'ontented as most men, notwithstanding lis crippled condition.

Tea Cigarettes.

A careful inquiry has developed the fact that tea smoking has become craze, and that the sallow, colorless complexion of some of our society belles is owing to meeting at midnight, like the witches in ''Macbeth," and brewing deadly ,harm out of Bohea and English break last tea. ''I can tell them," said a drug yist, ''that they had much better smoke tobacco. Tea is a strong narcotic and contains an alkaloid known as theine, which is the active principal of caffeine. They will also inhale tannic acid with their smoke The girls buy rice paper and roll their cigarettes like any little man. They steep the leaves enough to unfold them, sprinkle them with per tune and mix with rose leaves. They use the regular smokers articles less the tobacco, and ask each other for light with all the sang froid of q man of the world.-Detroit Free Press.

OBITUARY

Death entered our quiet healthy town on
the 18th December last and plucked one of
the sweetest flowers from cur juvenile nur-
sery.
Little Allie, daughter of N. L. and Ella
Rowell, was two years and three months old
and was bright lovely child. the Joy and
comfort OF her parents and loved by all who
knew her; but that dreadful disease so fatal
to the little ones, membranous croup, fas-
tened it's deadly fangs upon her tender
little form and in few hours it had done
its fatal work. Her parents cherished the
fond hope that in few short years
their dear little hlle would develop into n
beautiful b'u,hing maiden, but these fond
hopes are forever blghtcd, for that little
form lies to-day moulderiug to dust in the
lonely cemetery at Gilead church. While
their fond hopes are blasted they have the
consolation of knowing that the spirit Of
their sweet child is With is Saviour in hea-
ven.
$50 fades the lonely blooming flower,
Sweet smiling solace of an hour;
How soon our transient comforts ny,
And pleasure only blooms to die"

LITTLE STELLA. the youngest daughter
OF Mrs. Amanda Little, was called from
mother, brothers, and sisters on
earth oJoln those of the family who prece-
dcd her 10 the better land. After an illness
OF about ten days, the summons came to tho
young and tender bud that it must bloom in
heaven. 1t was dark hour when thus for
the fifth time, shadows of death fell around
the dwelling of this happy and aflcctionate
family. The grief which bore so heavily
upon the home circle has also carried sad
ness to many other loving hearts, and called
for the tear of sympathy and sorrow over
the early death of this one, whom none knew
but to love. She was like q precious sun
beam scattering rays of joy and gladness all
around her. She died Of diphlheria on the
morning of the 9Th inst.

away; blessed be the name Of the Lord
