Tho Very Latest-The State House as
 an Educator.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 You newspaper people have hard time with the State House question. But yea ought to console yourselves with the thought that question like this is a most powerful public educator. It stirs our blood enough to make us take an interest in useful things which we should otherwise neglsct. We are becoming architects and historians and law yers and geologists without knowing it.. What is still more important, we are learning to have patience with each other and to un- derstand each others views and feelings. In short, we are advancing in wisdom and vir- tue at railroad speed. Whether the State House stands or falls, it will pay for itself in the intelligence which it will diffuse among the people.
 Let the good work go on!

A railroad incident is described in the Att lanta Constitution as follows: A dandiied negro was sitting in the ladies' car of the Air Line train, midway between Charlotte and Spartanburg, in South Carolina. A young mountainee- asked him what he was doing in that car. to which the negro re- sponded that he had first class ticket, and should remain there. "You are in South Carolina now," said the mountaineer, "but we don't say anything to a nigger when we find him in first class car here. We just whistle, and. if the nigger knows what is good for him, he gitsi" Thereupon man whistled, and, after little attempt to brave

 The turf luck of the Duke of Portland who, if he retired now, would almost cer- tainly head the winning owners of the sea- son, appears more phenomenal when it is considered that he formed his stud for very little money. The foundation of 1t was St. Simon, Atlanta and Mowerina He bought St. Simon for e1 500, who won every race he started, and has earned quite s3,0G0 a year since his retirement to the stud, and will doubtless increase it. Atlanta cost q ,000, and she became the dam of Ayr shire, the winner of last years Derby. MoM- erina cost q 200, won nearly dozen races, and then became the dam of Donovan, the winner of this years Derby and of more money than has ever been credited to any other horse. Of the great money stakes the Duke has won the Kempton e10, 1000 and the Newmarket e7,o0O, and expects to win the Sandown e1O,O0O and the Manchester f12,O00.

During the laat two years no less than eight States have voted down propositions to adopt constitutional prohibition. They are Michigan, Texas, Tennessee, Oregon, West Virginia, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. Rhode Island voted yes- terday and though at the time of writing this the result is not known, there Is no rea- son to doubt that the vote will be largely against prohibition.

would have undoubtedly married him

been very happy, but her mother, who
had gone West with her, was sharp
enough to see what was going on, and
used such pressure ON her daughter
that she finally threw her subaltern

the Lieutenant was killed while in

How Shoe-Pegs Are Made.

Some of the shoe-peg factories OF
New Hampshire now. turn out three
hundred bushels of pegs daily. The
wood, being divided into sections cor
responding to the desired length OF
the peg, is first passed under a small
revolving cylinder which presses it
upon pointed knives, these making
minute grooves in the upper surface
of the wood, as it passes on toward
completion. The block is then taken
and passed under another cylinder,
the knives of which make grooves
transverse to those made before. After
this the block is placed under the
splitting knife, which is SO arranged
as to fall into each of the grooves
made in one direction, splitting the
wood to the base; it is again passed
under a knife, which splits it cross
wise. thus separating each peg from
every other peg; finally. a large re-
voving cylinder, heated. takes the
pegs and drives them. a revolving
wire cylinder Sits and sorts the va
rious sizes. and they are now ready
for shipment.-N. Y. Sun.

CLASS DISTINCTIONS.

It is not only in ''effete monarchies'

A ROMANTIC CHAPTER.

How a Young Woman Was Sacrificed by
an Ambitious Mother.
There died a short time ago promi-
nent army officer, whose funeral took
place in Washington. Few people were
aware of romantic chapter in his
life. General Black was a big, burly
man, the ideal picture of a heavy
dragoon-a martinez A few years ago
he lived in Washington and was we'll
and prominently known in society.
He was never seen at any house or en-
tertainment of any kind except he was
accompanied by his wife. a beautiful
but fragile-loOking woman, with the
most wonderfully large and pathetic
brown eyes that it was ever my misfort-
une to see. To look at that face for one
moment convinced you that you were
gazing at a woman with a history, q
history that was inexpressibly sad
The contrast between her Madonna
like and girlish face and figure and
the heavy form and port-wined visage
of her husband was striking and
incongruous and people who saw
the couple for the first time
always asked how it was that a
woman so young and so pretty should
have married man old enough to be
her father, and with nothing in the
way of physical beauty to recommend
him in her eyes. That the General
was devoted to her was evident by his
manner and the affectionate way in
which his eyes followed her whenever
she was away from his side. On her
part she never by the slightest sign
manifested either emotion or feeling
of any kind Her manner to him was
much that of a daughter who had con-
siderable respect for her father, but
hardly any warmer feeling. 1t was
the old story. She was the daughter
OF man who died when she was quite
young, and who left herself and her
mother to struggle along in the world
alone and unaided. The girl was nat
urally bright and clever, and having
acquired good common-school edu-
cation at an early age, she became a
nursery governess in the family of
an army officer who was Stationed
in one of the far Western posts
Her future husband, then many
years her senior, was at that time
stationed at the post, and after the
girl had been there year or two, No
fell madly in love with her
and wanted to make her his
wife. But in that short space Of time
she had also lost her heart and had
fallen desperately in love with .

HOW JOHNNY ESCAPED.

The Playful Franks Of q Boy Who Had .
Penchant for Reptiles.
1t is universally admitted that the
small boy who has a penchant for
bugs. and insects, and reptiles is the
worst variety of boy. There is one of
this sort in Atlanta who is an orna-
ment to his particular order of small
boy. He spends his afternoons and
all of his spare time, of which he
seems to have a good supply, in
foraging in the country for bugs and
lizards. Every morning he takes in
his pockets 20 school the results of his
last raid. Monday the specimens Of
his insectiferous and reptilian life that
he can fish up from the depths of his
trousers pockets are many and varied
and awful to touch and look at Last
week the teacher took an inventory of
the bugs and beasts found in his pock-
cts. Or that escaped therefrom ,.ad ter
rified the other children-and the
teacher. There were several varieties
OF beetles. pigeons with broken wings,
English sparrows. butterflies, devil
horses, slugs. snails. earthworms, liz
ards. snake or two, and an occa-
sional frog, damp and cold. One day
he slyly opened the flap of his pocket,
and then went on in his hard, reso-
lutte effort to make his teacher believe
he was studying. After awhile the
teacher noticed grasshopper hopping
agilely from desk to desk amid the
litter and tee-hee of the scholars. A
chase was begun, when another grass
hopper was seen. then another, and
they were everywhere hopping all
over the room and sticking their sharp
feet into the little girls hair. fright
ening them half to death. Come
here!" shouted the teacher to the ten
der lover of insects, as she reached for
a ferrule. give me your hand, sir"
The naturalist held our his hand as if
he was martyr to science. The teach
er was about to seize it when she
caught sight Of two green eyes that
flashed at her from the boys hand and

dart into her face The boy had q
