there was very lazy eolored family
that never stirred until everybody else
was out at work. just at daybreak
the mule backed up TO the door and
gave kick with both feet that sent
the whole family through the ba,k

however. and k,pt on kicking. The
next day il took four carpenters TO
put the cabin together again.
A rRorAsELy EDUCATED PARROT.
The Chicago Nail relates that a
parrot was recently bought by south.
side lady upon the assurance Of the
man who sold is that u had onfya
moral education. The bird had in
reality been the property Of a saloon
keeper. and. its cage being near the
cracker bowl everybody made free to
give it crackers and teach il tough
words. Its new mistress had hardly
got it hung up when lady friend
called. and, of course went into costa.
sizes over tae parrot. When she be.
gan to poke her fingers through the
cage and call. "POlly, Polly. Polly"
the bird opened one eye, cooked his
head sidewise. looked at the visitor
and said with great gravity "Now,
for Gods sake don't ask me to have a
cracker. I've sworn off"
SQUIRRELS NuRsED By A CAT.
An exchange says that Russell Rice.
a farmer of Scottsberg, Ind, found a
nest OF five young squirrels in the
woods, and took them home and placed
them in care of the family cat. The
cat at once adopted the squirrels, and
raised them in the same manner as she
would have done her own young.
The squirrels are now half grown and
deeply attached to the foster. mother,
and when separated from her the
other day aud placed in the courtyard
park they acted almost like kittens.
but are now fast learning to climb the
trees IN the manner Of their nature.
HUNTING CAT.
A gentleman down in Worth has
trained large cat to hunt squirrels,
and it il said that be can tree more
squirrels in day than the best dog.
When the squirrel hides from the
hunter Tom is sent up in the tree to
find it. He rarely ever fails TO run
him around 30 that his master aay
shoot it. When going on a long expe.
dition the cat will climb up on his
masters shoulder or run along at his
heels like dog.-Americus (Ga.) Re-
publican.

No Ladies at Funerals.

A new departure in the conduct OF funer-
ais in Philadelphia is that OF excluding from
the burial all female relatives and friends ol
the deceased. 1t Is now not unuaSal 70 See
funeral notices IN that city worded as follows
Male members OF the family only are lnVlt
ed to attend the funeral. In New YORK moSl
of the funerals are attended only by male
members CT the family Of the deceased, and
In European countries this scheme has lot a
long time been in vogue. A well known Phll.
udeIphia undertaken says: "LadieS shou 10
not be taken TO the burial gronnd LOT more
than one reason, either in good or bad weath-
er. 1t subjects them to great nervous strain
to soc the body Of some member OF their IAN,
or some relative lowered into the ground, and
time and time again have seen ladies fa1nt
from this eXcitnent. Sometimes there is q
hitch in the dropping Of the coffin, so tnal
considerable difficulty Is occasioned In gettlne
1t Strengthened out. Accidents OF this nature
are very prolific of nervous postration, anu
women should not be submitted to them.
This city is just awakening to the fact that q
big funeral is a big folly. AS rule every
large funeral is the cause Of the death or al
least one person who attended 1t. Delicate
women are constantly jeopardizing their ives
by taking long rides in carriages ana then
standing on the cold, damp ground while SER
vices are held over the grave. Few women
attend funerals In England, because they are
aware of what would be the result OF such an
i'm prudent act"

ANOTHER CHAPTER IN THE ALLIANCE.
Hundreds Of Bales are Taken to
DonnaIds.--The Alliance Men are
DiSruSted.


Some two or three weeks ago the local Al
lance clubs at Due West and DonaldSvillc re-
solved to make q big sale at DonaldS l;lSt
mark cts Were notified and invited to be pre-
sent
At the appointed time cotton rolled into the
town to a number variouSly estimated nj
from four hundred to five hundred bnics.
The owners were disappointed when theS
learned that but single cotton buyer from II
distance had come to the sale. The Alliance
men demanded 81 cents. No buyer wanted
it at that figure. Tclegrams were sent ana
received. One firm wanted to know the low
est figure at which the lot could be bought.
They said 92I was the lowest. They wouldn
take 1I-l6 cents. No sale was made.
IT was then resolved to have an anction.
The crier cried aloud for bidder, but no old-
der appeared on the scene, and we presume
the crier and the sellers alike felt some degree
of disgust.
It was finally determined to break up, ana
to come back Mt an appointed day to sell.
Some threw their cotton OIL thelr wagons
while others carried theirs hack home.
The plan of taking big lots OF cotton 10
town with the expectation of getting hi@her
prices for it, has not worked well in many IN
stances In u few cases. however, men nave
given more for certain lots, as q sort ol al.
vertiSement. but men are not oiten lounu
who are willing to pay so dear for llttle no
toriety. ~
Our own Judgment is. that each farmer can
do better for himself When he is not govern
ed or controlled by others, he can sell carrier
or later as best suits his convenience or IN.
clination and he is saved the great trouble OF
making arrangements to suit the demands oi
others.

Political Parties in England.

The political parties of England are
as follows: First, because it is in pow
er, comes the Conservative or Tory
party ; its leader is Lord Salisbury. 1t
believes as regards Great Britain and
Ireland, that whatever is, is best; as to
foreign affairs it for the present believes
the same, although not so long ago the
party was war anywhere and every
where. Then comes the Liberal par
ty led by Gladstone, which disestab-
lishei the Irish Church, and doubtless
will disestablish the English and
Scotch churches; it believes that
things might be better than they are.
At present it is pledged to give Ireland
home rule. Between these is the Lib
eral-Union party led by Lord Harling-
ton it is composed of Liberals who
don't believe in home rule for Ireland.
At present it is firmly bound to the
Tories, but after Ireland shall have got
home rule its members may return to
the Liberal fold. A fourth party is
that led by Mr.. Parnell, the Home
Rule party, whose members, as rule
inclined to the Liberal party, are now
united in trying to obtain justice for
Ireland, without regard to the person.
ality Of the dispenser of that justice.

General Conference has to do with
that matter!
A jury in New York State has
awarded an only child a verdict OF
81 600 against Hudson River steam
boat company, under the civil damage
act, for the death of her father, a deck
hand, who became intoxicated ut the
steamboat bar, and fell off into the riv-
er and was drowned. The court has
refused to set the verdict aside, and
steamboats, in this State are warned
that they keep open bars at their peril.
The verdict is Il healthful sign of pub
lie sentiment.
The Pope is in trouble. He threat
ems all t. time to leave Italy on &C
count of the constant oticnses of the
presence of Il secular government he
cannot control. But he cannot find
amy country that will invite him.
Moreover, the italian government has
decided that if the Pope chooses to emil
CRATE he can take his trunk and UNI
brella, but that he cannot carry off the
libraries and treasures of art which be-
long to Italy. We will keep lookout
for lone travt ler with his big Saratoga
and cotton umbrella. No doubt he can
find board In any of our small towns
