PERSPECTIVE VIEW.

If NAV be safely estimated that 25, 900
families now living in crowded apart
rnsnts in the city of New York, and pro-
nortionate number in other large cities,
would gladly purchase tasteful and con-
vsniept low-cost cottages located in the
suburbs. Speculative builders rarely build
them. although they know they are in de-
msnd. The brisk demand for them usually
induces the builder to ask high prices for
them and that defeats the purpose.
A great building company, with ample
capital and with fixed prices based on fair
rrofts, is needed to build low-cost cottages.
The brilliant financial success of such an
enterprise would be almost certainty.

A Tennessee Negro, Fresh From the

a Tennessee Negro, Fresh From the
Gallows, Restored by a Jolting
Wagon.
From the Nashville american.
The resurrection of Mack Francis, one of
the negroes who was hanged last Wednes-
day, was reported in Lebanon early yester-
day morning, and was passed in rapid sue
cession until it was in the mouths OF thous-
ands of people and acknowledged to be
most remarkable incident. 1t will be re-
msmbered by those who read an account of
the hanging that Francis neck was not
broken, but that he died of strangulation
struggling and groaning piteouSly for a
long time. He was finally cut down and
put into the coffin Immediately and placed
in a wagon and started for the upper coun-
try. 1t seems from the report tnat only
the circulation had stopped and the iolting
of the wagon over the road had considera-
BILE effect upon the organs, causing
a reaction to take place within very short
time. Within the course of the evening the
negro had obtained strength enough to
make a miserable noise in the coffin, when
the several negroes who had charge of the
wagon abandoned their post and fed.
The incredible report was made and some
braver person advanced to the spot, and on
opening the coffin found ghastly appari-
ton half turned. 1t is supposed that the
body was then placed in tie hands of a
physician, who charged 1t with electricity,
thus affecting complete reaction and re-
storing the negro to perfect activity. The
matter has kept a secret, so far as possible
for fear he would be brought second time
into the custody of the law. His wherea-
bouts is not known, but it is thought that
he will make a crop in DeKalb county.

The people of Hudson will give a
literary and nHsical entertainment
at Hudson va Friday evening,
March Sth, 1889, to which all are
earnestly and cordially invited to
come aud enjoy themselves.
The Yorktown Dramatic Club
was greeted with fair audience at
the Oalkes Opera House on Feb. is,
in the play, s'ren Nights in a Bar
Room" The entertainment was
superior to most amateur perform
'iIances, and the audience frequently
expressed their approval by applause.
The stormy weather prevented many
from attending. We regret that
this item was excluded last week, for
lack Of space.
The grand ball given at the Opera
House last Friday evening by
Messrs Stiff and Groshong, was in
all of its features the finest party of
the kind ever held in our city. The
boys, we are sorry to note, lost mon
cy on their effort, but the people
who attended are satisfied that moth
ing was left undone to please one
and all. The music furnished by
the Beveridge-Tunstall orchestra
was complete, the hall in bright and
clean condition, and the supper
served by mine host Mr.. Shelton,
was all in keeping with the enjoya-
ble affair.
Last Tuesday evening many Of
the friends of Rev. Fred j. Giddings
assembled in Mr.. and Mrs. b..
Boehmler's spacious parlors, the oc-
easslon being birthday social to the
former gentleman. At least one
hundred and forty persons were pres
ent. Following is the program:

tette. Recitation-Wanted, Min
ister's Wife, Eva Pickard. All the
numbers were we'll received, the
solos by Mesdames Kennedy and
Slawson eliciting much applause.
The recitation Of the Biography
Glass was so interesting that a repe-
tition was insisted upon. Among
the many questions asked were tho
following: Teacher-How many
states are there? Ans. Three,
state of matrimony, state OF single
blessedness and State Of North Da-
kota. T.-Very good, now give the
capital Of each. Ans. Oakes is the
capital Of North Dakota. The state
of matrimony doesn't require any
capital. T.-Mamie, give the pop
uIation of Cakes. A, With the
people who are here and those who
are coming, the population is more
than 10000. T.-Has Cakes ever
lost any Of her population? Ans.
Yes, according to The OAkEs RE-
PUBLICAN, ''Two Hearts Now Beat
as One," so guess that counts one
less. T.-Explain how that came
about? Scholar. Oh, 1 know.
Rev. Giddings said they were to be
united by Hooke and l. Scholar.
But ma said the l was out. T.
How much was the l out? Ans.

which the company dispersed, all
agreeing that they had enjoyed the
