"I should think, though" said the lizard, "thAt you would find 1t very lonesome ct times"
 "If 1t is," he answered galantly cit certainly is not 90 when you are here"
 The lizard blushed and said nothing. She could see that the toad did not mean his remarks for mere iattery, so she very wisely kept silent. The toad, however, not at all embarrassed, but con- tinued the conversation in charming manner that the morning was passed in the most delightful way. Indeed there is no telling how long they would have remained there and chatted had not Julia come down to the spring house to do the churning and thus, though all unwittingly to her. self, broke up their interesting tetc-d-tefe.
 But having got acquainted, the toad and the lizard had many pleasant talks after the one have just told you about, and the result of which you can easily guess when tell you what heard Julia, the milkmaid, say the other morning as she was stranng and putting away the milk.
 Little Tom and Alice were down at the spring house and heard her tell them that a toad and lizard lived together in the hole under the big rock, and that she had often watched them and they seemed to get along real nicely together.
 "Then suppose they must bc married" said lit tie Alice gravely.
 "Yes, suppose so, ]" said Julia.-Ed R Pritch"rd.

THE TOAD AND THE LIZARD.
\ .ron. TOR ernE rnAyELER,." YOUNG READERS.

There was once bachelor toad who lived by himself in hole under big rock down by the spring house at the foot of the hil It was very pleasant place. The hillside faced to the east. The spring house was built into the side of the hill, that its moss grown roof blended into it's face, making it appear to be part of the hill itself Just outside the spring house was large shelf on which Julia the milkmaid, used to place the milk pans to sun. She always said that milk pans that had not been we'll stunned were not fit to hold milk She said the sun, and especially the morning sun, made them sweet; after she had them we'll washed and secured, she would put them all out on the big bench for that purpose. As have said, the spring house was a delightful place in the summertime. The birds sang in the trees and bathed in the little brook that flowed merrily along at the foot of the hill. Just below the spring house was a quiet little pool where ever many shining minnows lived an old hermit of & craw- fish, too had his home in hole at the edge of the brook and, besides, 8 lot of dragon flies used to sport in the sunshine the ripping surface of its singing waters.
 The bachelor toad had lived here for good many years; so long, in fact, that Julia, the milkmsid had come to know him quite we'll The bachelor toad used to sit on the big rock every morning and watch her as she did up her work at the spring house that is, he watched her when he was not busy catching flies for his breakfast. He spent his mornings in this way, and in the afternoons he hopped about in the grass or went into his hole under the big rock and took long nap. In the evenings he again came out and sat on the big rock and caught fies or looked at the stars as they twinkled in the sky above, listened to the song of the toad that chirped away 80 merrily in the branches of the big beech tree high over his head. So you can see that he was a very happy and contented fellow. I came near forgetting, though, to tell you that in the winter time he went into his snug little home under the rock where he slept until the warm spring days came again, then he came out and took up his old habits of summing himself, of catching flies and watching Julia, the milkmaid as she washed and secured the milk pans and put them out on the long bench to sun.
 But one summer morning, as our bachelor toad was in his accustomed place on the rock, he hap pened to let his gaze fall on the roof of the old spring house, and there he spied creature which, to him, appeared so lovely that for & moment he was dumb with delight and admiration. Finally he recovered enough from his sstonishment to exclaim:
 "Oh, what 6 lovely creaturep
 Then he looked at her again, and this time, am

In recent issue of the Little Rock (Ark.) Ga- zette we find the following personal:
 "Mr. Opie Kead, editor of THE ARKANsAw TRAv- ELER, is in the city visiting friends. He will re- main for several days"
 There must be some mistake here. The Gazette has evidently been imposed upon by some fellow who is passing himself of as the editor of this paper, for no man named Kead ever had any con- nection with THE TRAVELLER.

Fatal Riot in Alabama.

ATLANTA, GA, Oct. 15.--At 10
o'clock last night the Constitution
started out 8 special engine from
Hainbridge, in charge of Col. B. Z.
Russell, to investigate the rumored
riot at Dothen, in Henry county,
Ala. The engine reached that place
at one O'Clock this morning.
The facts were found to be as fol-
lows: The Farmers Alliance of
Henry county has established q ware
house at Dothen. The town authori-
ties sought to collect license from
the drays which they employed as
from the drays employed by other
business houses. Geo. M. Stringer,
the manager of the farmers ware
house, to test the law, undertook to
drive one of the drays himself, when
he was arrested and his trial set for
yesterday. The alliance men attend
ed the trial IN force, and b. String
err, a relative of Geo. M. Stringer,
the man to be tried, fourished knife
and made for the marshal. This
started the trouble, when fusilade
of shots took place. Geo. M. String
er and JEFF. Walker, of the alliance
force fell dead, and Peter Tew,
Green Stringer and B. Stringer were
seriously wounded. Marshal j. l..
Domingos and Deputy Marshal Park
Powell and town man named w.
b. Craddock we're mortally wound
ed. The terror which reigned the
rest of the day was indescribable.
People were in fear all night ofIa re-
newal of the attack The farmers
claim that the town people treated
them wrongfully, and the riot was
inevitable under the provocation CIV
