The Fourth Day.

There was an immense crowd at the
Fair Grounds on the fourth day.
The Grand Stand was damned, and
tho stretches also crowded with inter-
ested spectators. The stock parade
excited unusual interest, and the
horse display pronounced the very
best ever seen in the State. The cat
tic exhibit, which ought to have been
first-class, is the only real deficiency
OF this Fair. The procession was
nearly three-quarters of a mile in
length. Prof. Prince made a very
successful balloon ascension and Jump
at noon time. He made another at
tempt in the afternoon but the balloon
got away from him.
The races were very good, and the
betting was lively. The first race was
Is dash be tween Winters Noretta
and Painkiller. Noretta won handily
in 1:28.
The second race of a mile and a
sixteenth, and repeat, was won by
Dave Douglas, under a pull, Parole
secopd.
The e dash for 2-year-olds was won
by Florence A. Of the Winters stable,
Chancey Haskell second and the
Dennison stable of EIDE and Herzog
third and fourth. Time Loo.
The IS and repeat between Rondo
John Allen, Red Rock and Johnny

According to Deputy Wards affida-
Wit, there is pretty close shaving of

OUT OF THE ORDINARY.
An Old Miser COnsigns $4,000 to the
Flames.

A special to the Nashville Ameri-
can from Franklin, KY, says: The
town is agog with excitement to-
night over sensation that is some
what out of the usual routine.
William J. Hilton, wealthy and
misery old merchant of this city,
who is thought to be on his death
bed, today CROPPED out of his bed,
which is situated in the back part
of his store and went into the store.
He was followed by an old negro
woman, his attendant, whom he or
dered to tske certain nail key and
put it On the fire in his room. The
keg was headed up at both ends,
and he told the negro that it had O
few nails in it and some old papers,
Ia will among other things that he
wished to destroy. The negro did
as directed, little dreaming that she
was consigning to the flames $780,
900 in greenbacks and Government
bonds. But such was the case.
Soon after the act was done gen.
tleman went in and, seeing large
pile of burnt nails in the fireplace,
and what seemed to be the remains
OF burnt papers, and suspicioning
that all wa not right, began to make
an examination of the ashes and
found what, to the naked eye was
plainly visible, huge mass of burnt
greenbacks and Government 4 per
cent. bonds.
Mr.. Hilton has wife and one
child, profigate son, who has given
him great deal of trouble, and
he and has wife have been sep
arated for some time, and there is
now pending suit for divorce and
alimony against him by his wife.
A great deal of bitterness has grown
out Of the suit, and it is thought
that he preferred to see his property
in ashes than for his wife and son
to inherit it. He was not expected
to live many days, and he is now too
feeble to talk and refuses to divulge
anything. He has great antipathy
to lawyers, and said he feared they
and his wife would get all he had.
A guard has been placed around
his store tonight for fear he will
have it in flames. Legal proceed
ings were taken out to have him
declared a lunatic this evening, but
the jury found him of sound mind.

HARRISON ON THE NEGRO.
He Says He viii Not Put Blacks Over
Whites.

President Harrison is quoted by
enc of small delegation of promi-
nent southern protection democrats,
who called on him several weeks
ago to protest against the appoint
ment Of colored men to prominent
local offices in the south, as saying
substantially the following, after
hearing what they had to say:
''Perhaps | comprehend this race
question better than you gentlemen
think, and sympathize with your
feelings in regard to the colored
people more than you know. Ger
tainly in your place would feel as
you do. Personal contact with an
alien race in social, political and
professional life would not he agree
able to me. | would not like to see
a negro mayor or postmaster of
Indianapolis, or representing the
power and authority of the county
or state in a fiscal or administrative
capacity at my own home. 1t would
not be agreeable to me to practice
my profession before federal Judge,
or to meet negro at the federal
bar as a United States Attorney.
81 don't intend to impose upon
the people OF the south conditions
which | would think rather hard if
they were imposed upon me. 1t is
my desire to do full justice to the
colored people. They have been
made citizens and our equals before
the law. They are an important
element in the party which carried
the last election. They are entitled
to recognition in the conduct of the
government. They have right to
expect their share of the official
patronage. | have no disposition to
ignore them, but l believe that all
their just expectations can be salts
fed without placing them in posi-
tons where race instinct is sure to
brew personal bitterness and social
discord. There are places enough
in the public service, embracing as
1t does thousands of department
clerkships and nearly as many COM
paratively isolated functions like
those of the railway mail service,
and a multitude of remote special
agencies and inspectorships, in
which colored persons can perform
useful and honorable service with
out involving that personal contact
with official authority over white
citizens in their own homes, which
you and your people find offensive

THE HOMELESS SINGER.

On cold, dark night, when the
wind was blowing hard, Conrad, a
worthy citizen OF little town in
Germany, sat playing his flute while
Ursula, his wife, was preparing sup
per. They heard a sweet voice
singing outside.
Tears filled the good mans eyes
as he said: "What a fine sweet
voice! What a pity it should be
spoiled by being tried in such wealth
err"
81 think it is the voice of child.
Let us open the door and see," said
his wife, who had lost a little boy
not long before, and whose heart
was open to take pity on the little
wanderer.
Conrad opened the door and saw
ragged child, who said, "Charity,
my good sir, tor Christ's sake
Some in, my little one," said he;
''you shall rest with me tor the
night
I ''The boy said, 'Thank God.' and
entered. He was given some sup
per, and then he told them that he
was the soon of poor miner, and
wanted to be priest. He wander.
ed about and sang, and lived on the
money the people gave him. His
kind friends would not let him talk
much, but sent him to bed. When
he was asleep they looked in upon
him, and were so pleased with his
pleasant face that they determined
to keep him if he was willing.
In the morning they found he
was only too glad to remain.
They sent him to school, and at.
forwards he entered a monastery.
There he found the Bible, which he
read, and from which he learned
the way of life. He became the
great preacher and reformer, Mar.
tin Luther. Little did Conrad and
Ursula think Of what they were do
ing when they cared for this "least

QUEER USES OF WORDS.
Curious Expressions Peculiar to the
North and South

1t seems the most natural thing
in the world for a southerner in
calling to say, so, John" but it
ways seems to amuse our friends
across the way. 1t is the go" that
excites their merriment, and in at
tempting to give the peculiarly they
often represent US as saying, clio!
John, which we never say.
Another southern expression
which always sounds queer to north
ern ears is the use the word mighty
as an adverb. But to those accus-
toned to it, mighty pretty" con-
veys an idea Of beauty that the
overburdened northern word Glove
ly" doesn't reach. Turning to
Webster to see if it must be given
up, We find that it is allowable when
used eolloquially. Good. We
should never want to use it except
colloquislly.
In the north man fills his wagon
''box" with corn and "draws" it to
town; in the south he fills his wagon
''bed" with corn end "hauls" it to
the same place.
In New England they say "the
going" (meaning the condition of
the roads, is bad. In the south
they say "the travelling is bad.
Perhaps to say the roads are bad
would be more ineligible than
either.
Southerners say ''like" for "as if''
as, "She looked like she wanted
to 60" They laugh at it in the
north and in the same breath say
"as" for "that" 81 don't know as
| ever heard it hsre"-and then
the southerner laughs, AMI both are
happy. So ingrained are both ex-
pressions, however, that the delln-
quents are seldom conscious of the
delinquency.
A large proportion of grammati-
cal mistakes are common 70 the un-
educated wherever they are found,
but there are some which are so
peculiar to certain sections that their
use settles at once the question of
whether the person using them is
from the north or the south. The
expression 81 seen" for II saw" is
a very common mistake in the
south and rare in the north, while
81 see him yesterday" for 81 saw
him yesterday" so common, even
among educated people, at the
north, is never heard in the south.
This makes it difficult for writer's
who have never lived in certain
sections to initiate successfully the
dialect of that people. They are
apt to be betrayed into the mistake
of putting into the mouths OF GER
tain class in another part of the
country such words as they would
hear from the same class in their
own section. This, undoubtedly, is
the difficulty which many northern
writer's find in truthfully portraying
the negro dialect. They take as
models the negroes they have
known, and judge, incorrectly, that
the talk of a southern negro would
be the same; consequently, a prac-
teal ear can almost always detect
the difference between one who as
sumes familiarity and one who is
''to this manner born" The incon-
gruity of making a southern negro
say "Whar be goin'?" as we saw
recently in some story, is inexpres-
sibly ludicrous to one familiar with
their dialect. He might say, "Whar
you goin'?" or "Whar is you goin'?''
but never "Whar be you goin'?''
The honor of the expression, "You
be- belongs exclusively to the
north. What he would be most
likely to say is, "Whar you gwine?''
