Stonewall Jackson's WAY.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
Did you ever see the Old Man?" asked one
confederate veteran of another, they stood
by the stove discussing their favorite heroes.
"No, never saw Stonewall Jackson, but he
was my ideal of all generals"
well, had you seen him you would have
seen very common looking man. One day
We were camped in the bend Of the Rappahan-
mock and there was a sort OF half fool fellow in
NV company who never cared what he said or
to whom he said il. jackson came riding down
the road and that fellow got out in the edge of
it so that Jackson could not help seeing and
hearing him.
q" 'Lookee here, generl,' he blurted out,
were all camped here 'thout anything to eat
My God, man, We can't stand sich as this
Never mind said jackson. as he half
raised his slouched hat there will be q way
provided for all Of you You'll have rations in
plenty in a short while"
And he was as good as his word, for in If
teen minutes the rations came in abundance"

Where Big Game Still Abounds.

From the London Times.
According to the administration report of
Java recently laid before the Dutch chambers
portions Of that island are being depopulated
through tigers. In 1882 the population of a
village in the southwest of the Bantam prov
ince was removed and transferred to an island
of the coast in consequence of the trouble
caused to the people by tigers. These ami
mails have now become an intolerable pest in
parts of the same province. The total popula-
ton is about 100000, and in 1887 sixty-one
were killed by tigers, and in consequence Of
the dread existing among the people it has
been proposed to deport the inhabitants of the
villages most threatened to other parts of the
country where tigers are not so common, and
where they can pursue their agricultural occu-
pations with a greater degree Of security. At
present they fear to go anywhere near the
borders of the forest The people at present
seem disinclined, or they lack the means and
courage TO attack and destroy their enemy, al
though considerable rewards are offered by
government for the destruction Of beasts Of
prey. In 1888 the reward for killing q royal
tiger was raised to 200 forms. II appears also
that the immunity of the tiger is in part due
to superstition, for il Is considered wrong to
kill one unless he attacks first or otherwise
does injury. Moreover, guns were always very
rare in this particular district, and, since ris-
ing few years ago, have been taken away BY
the authorities altogether.

FIorida's Election Certificates.

SECRETARY BAYARD's SENDS HIS PRIVATE SEC
RETARY TO GET 1T FROM THE DISTRICT COURT.
Secretary Bsyard sent Mr.. Harry Bryan his
private secretary. to look for the missing elec-
ton certifccs of the state of Florida, in ac-
cordance with the provisions of the electoral
count act approved last winter. He goes armed
with credentials in the shape of letter from
the Secretary, announcing Ito all whom il may
concern" that the bearer is an agent of the
government authorized TO seek and secure the
copy of the certificate deposited with the judge
of one of the district courts of Florida by the
electors of that state. The difficulty in the
case is that there is no definite knowledge here
as to which one of the two district courts holds
the certificate. One is located al Jacksonville
and the other at Tallahassee. Mr.. BRYAN will
first go to Jacksonville, arriving there about
noon tomorrow. In case the certificate is not
TO be found there he will go to Tallahassee, but
it is not thought that the latter move will be
necessary. and that the messenger will be back
by Saturday with the document to be deliv-
cred to the president of the Senate.

Keeping People out of their Money.

Washington Correspondence ST. Louis Republic
Congressman Tom Reed, Of Maine, was sit
ting in the ways and means committee room
the other day examining quite q huge docu-
ment, when all of a sudden he bit the end of q
cigar, touched match to it, and said in his
peculiarly emphatic way, The United States
government is the worst party to have any
dealings with that know Of There's a CON-
munication from q lighthouse keeper ON the
coast Of Maine. The Treasury department
has refused TO allow him SIS, and he wants
me TO get il for him. IL has been nv experi-
ence for ten years or more that the United
states government doesn't try TO allow any
claims, but the game is always 20 keep people
out of all the money possible. This thing of the
government not paying its creditors interest ID
absurd. Why shouldn't the government pay
interest as well any other debtor? I sup
pose they got that idea from the old custom in
foreign countries of not charging the king I'm
terest under the belief that the King could DO
no wrong" The big. blunt Congressman went
on to make other pointed and uncompiiment
airy remarks about the government until -
got considerably excited.

Parents Age and Children's Vitality

From the London Lancet.
In meeting of the Hungarian Academy Of
Sciences Mr.. Joseph Korosi read paper on
The influence of parents ages on the vitality
OF children" Mr.. korosi has collected about
10000 data, and has come to the following
conclusions: Mothers under twenty years of
age and fathers under twenty-four have
children more weakly than parents of ripper
age. Their children are more subject to pull
mOnary diseases. The healthiest children are
those whose fathers are from twenty-five to
forty years of age, and whose mothers are
from twenty TO thirty years old. Mr.. Korosi
says that the best marriages are those in which
the husband is senior to the wife, but a woman
from thirty to thirty-fve years old will have
healthier children if her husband be somewhat
younger than herself. A man from thirty to
forty years old ought to take a wife from
twenty to thirty. Ii the mother be five years
older than the father the vitality of the children
becomes impaired

The Republican Senatorial Caucus.

-.
THE SPRINGER TERRITORIAL BILL DISCUSSED, But
NO ACTION TAKEN on ACCOUNT OF SLIM ATTEND
ANCE.
slimly attended caucus of republican Sena-
tors was held at the capitol this morning The
session was necessarily short owing to the fact
that the Senate met an hour earlier than usual
The course to be followed by the party in the
treatment of the application of the territories
for admission was the occasion for the caucus.
The provisions of the House (omnibus) BILL
which is now pending before the Senate COM
mittee on territories. were briefly explained by
Chairman Platt, who also criticised the general
plan and details of the measure. When this
had been done little time remained for general
discussion. 1t was made clearly apparent
however, from the limited expression
of individual opinion that there has
been little no change in the posi-
ton taken by the republican Senators
upon the subject at the last session. dispo-
stion was shown to report the omnibus bill to
the Senate, but with amendments excluding
New Mexico and letting in North and South
Dakota, Montana. and Washington. There
was shown decided indisposition 20 delaying
the admission of South Dakota by submitting
the question again to the people of the terri
tory, and there were hints of democratic
scheme to influence the vote of North Dakota
with the assistance of the railway people, so as
to prevent division and secure the admission of
Dakota as one state, and this was urged as
sufficient reason for refusing to accept the
House bill. In view of the small tendance
less than quorum-there was no disposition
exhibited by the caucus to bind the party gen.
orally, so that no formal conclusion was noted.

The Rooms to be REMEMBERED.

A NEW PLAN TO BE ADOPTED IN THE STATE, WAR
AND NAVY DEPARTMENT.
Secretaries Bayard, Endicott and Whitney
have given their approval to a plan submitted
by Superintendent Williamson, of the State,
War and Navy building, for the REMEMBERING
of the rooms in that structure. At prese Mt
each floor is numbered separately, each depart
ment having its own system. Mr.. Williamson's
plan. which will be carried into effect as soon
as possible is to number the rooms on a basis
of the whole building in this manner: Begin
ming with the southeast corner in the basement
the first room will be called Il" and thence
the corridor will be followed straight around to
the west, northeast and south TO the starting
point; on the first floor the corresponding room
at the southeast corner will be numbered 100. "
and all OF the rooms that floor will fall with
in 100 and 1879. On the second floor the num-
bers will range from 200 to 299. and so on to the
attic. In this way the number of the room will
indicate at once the floor on which il is located
1t is thought that this system will obviate many
difficulties and Misunderstanding that now
arise owing to the complex and numerous plans
of numbering the rooms
