OLD-TIME AlLIGATORS.


Yarns Of tho Georgia Bottoms In the Days
Before tho War.
A number of old citizens were in
conversation in the vicinity of the
courthouse. Among them were some
of the former planter princes of this
section. whose immense plantations in
ante-bellum days were titled by thou
sands of slaves. They knew all about
the country. and the singular forms of
animal life with which it teens.
MANY years ago." said Colonel H.
A. Tarver. 1.-The Oaky Woods district
was filed with alligators. They we're
much more plentiful than now. Do
you know that the below of an alli-
gator is a sure sign of approaching
rain. If you hear their hoarse cry in
the morning look out for showers.
THE alligators are often quite fierce.
A negro woman was standing in a
pond washing when an alligator caught
her by the leg. She called Justify for
help, when some negro men who were
near ran to her assistance and killed
the huge reptile. A gentleman was
riding across a branch when an alli-
gator caught his horse by the leg. The
animal plunged fearfully, but the
saurian held on like grim death. The
gentleman was thrown in the water
and the horse managed to extricate
his limb from the fierce teeth that APP
parently held it as in q wise. once

The LITTLE s.srER.

XeaDg Persons VIE Are . 0roas Trial =
Aaxziagsabls Yoans Ladie&
Little sisters are . great trial to the
young lady with her first beau.
They have such deadly habit Of
telling just the secrets that their big
sister wouldn't have known for the
world. and telling them at Just the
worst time they could possibly select
And. what is more. they seem to take
q malicious pleasure in telling them.
II Mary Jane has kept her hair
rolled up for two days, to be WELL
frizzed when Augustus calls, her little
sister viii note the proceeding. and just
as Mary Jane has assured her admir-
ing swain that her hair curls natural
ly, and that it is almost impossible to
make it stay anywhere, up will pop
the small sister. and tell the whole
story of the curl-papers, and in oil
probability she will add the informal
ton that Mary Jane puts red ink on
her cheeks to make her 'pritty."
Little sisters are always cropping
out at the wrong time. They never
want to go to bed the nights when the
big sisters beau is expected. and no
amount of coaxing and candy can con-
vince them that they are sleepy.
They have eyes for every thing and
ears that would detect the slightest
whisper. and next day. at the dinner
table. the big sister will be mortified
to death and the whole family will be
thrown into commissions by the piping
announcement from the small sister:
''Gus Jones bit our Mary Jane last
night. right into the mouth! l seen
him! And she bit him back!''
Little sisters always want to know
all the why's and the wherefores. One
of them is likely to climb on the knee
of an aspiring young gentleman suit
or and ask him why he doesn't have
more hairs in his mustache; she would
like to ask him if he doesn't feel bad
because his nose is long. and it would
delight her dear little heart 20 impart
to him the fact that Mary Brown and
Sister Jane both said he was too long
legged for any thing but greyhound.
Small sisters will tell the family Sc
crets with most delightful candor, and
while the young gentleman caller is
waiting for the young lady of the
family to give the final touches to her
toilet before coming down the small
sister will confidentially make him
acquainted with the fact that papa
swears at mamma right along" and
that 1--WE have old hen for dinner and
call it chicken pie" and that SISTER
Jane wants to get married awfully to
some rich young fool who will keep
her without work"
Little sisters will put molasses candy
in the chair and see you sit down on
it without a word of warning; they
will wipe their bread and butter hands
on your pantaloons; they will cradle
their kittens in your six-dollar hat;
they will pin you and your inamorata
to the chairs; they will put burrs in
your hair; they will sift sawdust from
the cracked bodies Of their dolls down
the back of your neck; and they will
make faces at you, and yell like little
demons if you attempt to defend your
self.
Therefore. we say to you: If pos
sible. avoid going counting in families
where there are little sisters unless
you are so deeply in love as to be per-
fectly Indifferent and reckless as to
consequences. IN. Y. Weekly

OFFICIAL COURTESY.

Tho Simple Etiquette Observed by the
Omcials OF Our Government.
All through the Government service, as
in private business establishments, we, Of
course, find the relation of superior and
subordinate, and from this relation neces-
sarily follow certain distinctions Of grade,
or official classification, and certain rules
of courtesy governing the business inter-
course between agents of equal or unequal
rank. The President is higher than .
Secretary of department., q Secretary
higher than . bureau chief, q bureau chief
higher than q clerk. An officer issuing in
structions or commands, disregards the
conventional or complimentary forms
observed by him when communlcat
ing with officers Of equal or higher
grade; . subordinate, corresponding with
one above HIM in authority, is moro or less
deferential in his address. This oomplais-
ance, however, extends chiefly to such
harmless expressions as, ITO the Honorable
the Secretary" and II am, with great re.
spect, your obedient servant" at the be-
ginning and ending Of letters; and is only
Objectionable when it becomes indiscr,m-
mate or extravagant. In strict propriety,
official communications should be ad-
dressed to the ''ofice''-not to the name Of
the individual holding the Office; and .
public Office receives no augmented dignity
BY reason Of mere wordy additions. This
was the view taken by tho House Of Repre-
sentatlves at the beginning Of the Govern
ment, when the Senate desired to style the
President 'sHis High Mightiness," or by
some other senseless title; and the Senate,
by submitting to this view, established .
precedent applicable to every subordinate
office.
In writing to q high official or q member
Of Congress by name, the prefix "Hon." 10
permissible on grounds Of general usage;
but the employment of this title in address
ing minor officers is meaningless, As also 10
the phrase: ITO his Excellency the Prest
dent;' yet this and other errors Of over.
ehusiou are frequently made by corre-
spondeuts both in and out Of Official circles.
In ranking the President - head Of the
Republic We regard HIM only m his public
capacity. His pre-eminence IL the pre-emi-
nence Of his of1ce, and this once, - ~
have said, was intended 70 exercise buss.
ness functions.-Edmund Alton, In St
Nicholas.
