A drummer from some Atlanta house got off
at Social Circle last week and called for ticket
to Jerusalem. The station agent, with wild
eyed astonishment, mildly suggested that he
knew of no such station in Georgia, but there
was a town called Bethlehem. The drummer
was somewhat confused, but retained his pres
ence of mind sufficiently to calculate that he
knew it was some place with religious name.

English gentlemen Of 400 years ago consider
cd the pursuit of literature, art and science un-
worthy of any of their class, which was expect
ed to live solely for sport. American gentle
men land this includes all Americans hold the
same opinion with regard to ali mechanical
pursuits. Are such notions a whit less child
ish than those of 400 years ago? think they
are even more so; for man may very well be
a gentleman without scholarship, but he can
not be one without being able to earn his liy-
ing by his own labor The truth is, while we
aatter our vanity with the notion that we are
an enlightened people, on the ground that we
have form of Government and certain me-
chanical contrivances which cur fOrefathers
had not, we are sunk ia barbarism as regards
all ideas of human worth. For weIl-nigh 600
years Christianity has taught that character,
and not position or possession, gives value to
men. We act and think, for the most part, as
if such teaching had never existed.

wife. She was a San Francisco belle of Dutch
parentage named Vandegrift, and had married
Sam Osborne, private secretary and protege of
Senator Leland Stanford. Her husband and
she had gone TO Paris, but he being recalled
home she remained there, where she met Ste
ven5on. They fol- in love with each other at
once, On her return to California she told
her husband the state Of affairs, and he very
generously consented to give her her freedom
Stevenson was written TO aud came on to claim
his bride, travelling as an immigrant by sea and
rail, in order to study up that phase of life and
make il the subject Of book. When he ar
rived in San Francisco he was in a frghtful
condition, physically and otherwise, his health
having been reduced until he bad hemorrhages
and besides had contracted an unpleasant skin
disease from his associations with the immi-
grants. He suppressed it, however, got rid of
his ailments, and had a grand wedding, the
former husband of his intended giving her
away and he himself in turn taking new
wife. Mr.. and Mrs. Stevenson went up into a

basis of the novel called "Silverado Squat.

BIG-TOED PEOPLE.
A Queer Race Who Dwell in the Far East.


iirs LeoHo,gens In Wjde-At0ake.
The strangest of all the Indo-Chinese races,
the ancient Gioa-Chi, or Big-Toed Race, is called
in our Biographies g" The Anamese." This ex-
tra0rdinary people are shout the ugliest and
worst-built of all our semi-civilized Asatic
cousins. They are much shorter than the
Malays, darker skinned, with lower foreheads,
less-deyeloped skull, alatter nose, larger mouth,
thicker lips blackened teeth, gums often de-
stroyed by the use Of betel-nut, very prominent
cheek and jawbones, so that the face is lOZenge-
shaped, short neck, shoulders slOping abruptly,
and a ee-sawing sort of gait when walking.
But the most curious development of all is the
big toe. 1t is very large broad and fat; more
over, the distance between that member of the
foot and the other toes is so great that the
Chinese so long ago as 1857 B. G. gave them
the name of Giao-Chi, or the BgToed Race.
This curious physical formation is such that
it quite marks them from all other Asiatic peo-
pies who walk barefooted; and, strange to say,
that though more than 40 centuries have passed
since this popularity WAS first noticed by
Chinese travellers, and in spite of the frequent
intermarriages with other races, the Anamese
have transmitted, without the least perceptible
modification, this formation of the foot to their
descendants to-day; which fact, according TO
some ethnOlogsts, serves to prove that the
Anamese are not descended from the mingling
Of indigenous races, but rather that they have
existed for an immense period of time as a dis
tnct and peculiar race.
However this may be, in funny old Siamese
legend the origin Of the Anamese race is atErib-
uted to the prayer of a pious Buddhist mission
ary, the sole survivor of a shipwrecked crew,
who, finding himself east on the beautiful coast
of Anam, with no living creature in sight save
multitudinous focks Of wild geese prayed the
Addhi Karma, or First Cause, to change these
wild geese into human beings so that he might
instruct them in the doctrines Of the Buddha.
Then and there the 1ocks swooped down at the
feet of the supplant, and were, in the twinkling
of an eye transformed into crowds of men,
women and children, without a yestige of their
former condition as footed creatures save
the broad, fat distended big toe.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 16.-The city has
resumed its wonted quiet after the
celebration of Gov. Hovey's Inaugural
ton, and comparatively few Out-of-
town visitors remained over to-day.
The rainy weather did not prevent
Gen. Harrison from taking his accus-
toned walk down town and
back between showers. There
were no distinguished callers to-
day. Several members of the legisla-
tor were among the generals visitors;
also, Hon. E. S. Sill, of Monroe City.
D. o. Darling, of the Methodist Minis
ters' association of this city, called and
presented the general the resolutions of
greeting that were adopted at their
meeting recently, when it was fore
Swallowed they would take some action
condemnatory of the inaugural ball;
but instead of that they adopted the fol-
lowing resolution by a unanimous rising
vote:

ers' meeting of Indianapolis. hereby extend
to Gen. Harrison our Christian greetings and
assure him of our appreciation of his Chris
tian character and that we shall increasingly
pray that Almighty God may give him His
continued blessing as chief magistrate Of the
nation
Rev. j. S. Jones was also on the COM
mittee to present these engrossed reso-
lutiOns. but was unable to accompany
his colleagues. Gen. Harrison received
the reverend gentlemen in his library
and thanked them for their good wishes
and prayers. Rev. Dr.. NJ. l.. Haines,
Gen. Harrison's pastor, invoked the di-
vine blessing in the house of representa-
tives this morning, and among other re-
quests he asked Gods blessing on Pres
ident Cleveland.

avengers" Wreak Their Venge-

JACKSON, Miss, Jan. 16.-Private in
formation has been received by Gov.
Lowrey that mob law continues to exist
in the southern part of Noxubee and
the northern part of Kemper county,
and that negro cabins are being burned
and destroyed. The present lawlessness
grew out of the Wahalak troubles
of a few weeks ago in the northern
part OF Kemper county. The gov
ernor is informed that avengers" are
still wreaking their vengeance upon the
negroes. Gov. Lowrey wrote to the
sheriff of Noxubee county to call out a
sufficient force to put down the law
1essness and to send a special messen-
ger to the sheriff of Kemper county, the
two officials to act in concert in the Vi
cinity mentioned. to have affidavits
made, to arrest all guilty persons
promptly, to communicate with the gov
ernor by wire. and to send to him the
bill for all extra expenses incurred.
The governor insists that the county
officials and peace officers shall do their
duty. He is ready to give them all the
support in his power. Over forty fami-
lies have been run out of the two cOun-
ties and their cabins burned.

of Five Dudley Makes Hoosier
Patriots Weary.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 16.-Judge
Woods instructions to the federal grand
jury yesterday were the subject of
much attention and discussion to-day in
legal and political circles. 1t is learned
that the Interpretation of the federal
statutes, as laid down by Judge Woods,
is acquiesced in by Justice Harlan of
the supreme court, with whom Judge
Woods advised by letter during
the recess. There are express
sions of keen disappointment on the
part of many Democrats. The most
notable utterances of this character
have been made by the. Sentinel,
through whose columns the alleged
Dudley letters became public. Some of
it's expressions are very severe. and
gave rise to an expectation that posi-
bIy the court would summon the editor
and others before it for contempt, but
nothing of the kind occurred. Judge
Woods looked cOmplacent and undiS-
turbed by the criticism as he sat on the
bench to-day. He made no reference
whatever to the attacks. 1t is under
stood that Judge Claypool, acting dis
trict attorney, is considerable wrought
up over the courts instructions, and
radically disagrees withuJudge Woods
views. CIaypool refuses to give his
views for publication, stating he did
not feel at liberty to talk on this sub
ject. William Henderson, a prominent
Democratic attorney, member OF the
committee of 100, and a relative of the
late Vice President Hendricks, is out
in an interview saying: "The courts
instructions seem to me to be all right
and fair. 1t seems to be law, and
have no doubt it is law" Maj. Wal
kins and Stanton j. Peelle both publicly
affirm all the main points in Judge
Woods charge. Hon. John M. Butler
expresses himself as follows: 81 heard
Judge Woods first instructions to
the grand jury and l agreed with
him so far as he went. l after
ward had short talk, and we spoke of
the point upon which he charged the
jury yesterday. Ny belief is that Judge
Woods instructions as given yesterday
is law, and that if any indictment had
been returned under his former instruc-
tons as to Dudley, Whitaker or any
body else who might have written or
circulated such letters or circulars as
are charged to the account OF Dudley
and Whitaker, the court would have
been obliged on motion to Quash, to
have decided the very point given in
the instructions of yesterday, and ac-
cording to my opinion would have been
compelled to decide as Yesterdays in
structionS decided it and therefore
would have been obliged to Quash.
