LUMBER FREIGITS.
The Midwife and SWANS boro railroad
eighteen miles in length, gives fine
illustration of the freight business to be
expected from railroads which penetrate
the yellow pine belt of Georgia. This
little road has been in operation for sew
eral years, and is making for its owner a
net profit above all ext enses of more than
seven per cent. on an investment of $780,
900.
Another illustration is seen in the won
dertul business now being done by the
Georgia and Florida, running from Macon
to Naldosta, through a yellow pine coun-
try tor distance of $50 miles. The stock
OF the construction company which is
building this road has steadily climbed
from its par value of one hundred until it
IS now worth more than 900. The freight
business of these two roads is mainly in
lumber
COTTON FREIGIITS.
The road would penetrate section
Which, even with its present very poor
railroad facilities, ships about one hun
dred thousand bales of cotton, and this
would be largely and rapidly increased as
soon as the timber can be marketed. As
at present situated, land owners can not
afford to cut down and waste their valua-
bic pine forests tor purposes of cutiva-
ton, but with railroad transportation
convenient, the lumber would be market
ed at once, and the land devoted to cult
walton. This would cause a large and
immediate increase in arabic land, and it
Is not extravaganza to say that production
would be doubled
PLAN OF SUBSCRIPTION.
Subscribers to the stock will not be
asked to take any risk, and subscriptions
will be received either in land or money.
All subscriptions will be payable in each
county as soon as the road is completed
to that county, and Augusta subscrip-
tons will be due when the whole line is
completed to brownsville. On this plan
no subscriber risks the loss of a dollar,
and pays only for finished road

A Defeated La N d q ra Der.
Pensacola News, July 3.

A Washington dispatch, dated July l, pub
lshed elsewhere in the News of to-day, an
nounces the defeat of Senator Call in the latter 8
attempt to despol the colored man Swain OF his
homestead This ancient land-grabber, our
most worthy senior Senator, never had right on
his side in this contest, and Secretary Mobiles de-
cison was an eminently proper and just one.
The Senator, however, will have the satisfaction
of knowing that he kept Swain on tenderhooks
during the long trial which has at last been so
equtably concluded, and it will be similar feel
ing that will animate him when he shall have
been defeated in his effort to keep the State
which sends him to the Senate from coming
into the possession of lands to which it is be-
yond peradvenure entitled The gentleman
knows he will lose in the latter as he has in the
former case, but his "pure cussedness" will assert
itself despite the ignominous failure that stares
him in the face.

Practical JOHNNY,

everything was going OIL admirably. The

it was drawr. y high fence had been con-
structel i'll some way with boards. In the
middle was Il closed gate. The chief member
of the committee stepped forward to make
an address OH "Good conduct"
He told the children of tho beauty and the
necessity of right behavior, and he added that
it lay with each of them to find the open gate
to good conduct. As he said this the closed
cato upon the platform swung slowly open,
showing IL large screen, on which was i'll
scribed i'll large letters:
"Do RIGnT.' "This, dear Children - said
the speaker, with an impressive gesture to-
ward the opened gate, this is thesimple rule

and at all times. And now, how can we all

IN Erisnd" in Hayaria

y lady entered one of the prominent drug
stores the other day desiring Il cure for a
cold. The clerk, Il MAJ of long experience,
reached into one Of the chests for n popular
remedy for colds and handed it to the woman,
who went on her way rejoicing. A few min
utcs later he opened the chest again, and, to
his horror, found it filled with a poison which
had been placed there temporarily owing to
the lack of labels. The police were immedi-
ately notified, but failed to find tho lady in
question. Criers were sent out who ran
about the city proclailning the incident and
telling all who had purchased tho popular
remedy to proceed to the station to have it
examined.
Red placards wero placed upon the bill
boards. Extras were thrown about the
city, with sensational ~hcadings-''A Life En-
dangered, "a Case of Poison" and the like
until tho whole town was excited and tho
majority of the inhabitants seemed hunting

Tho station was overcrowdcd with people
and invali!s of all kinds, who had come to
have their medicines examined. There were
moaning and gnashing of teeth, and hysteri-
cal women declaring, despite ruddy cheeks,
that they were AT the point of death; others
ready to take farewell of their dear ones: in

She Fought 1t Alone.

The Hampton VA, School Record gives
an account of the brave deed of ono Of his
u%eighbors, an Oneida woman, whose courage
seems only oqualea by her pride Of race.
Driving into the field one day where her
husband and others were ut WORK, s!e en-.
countcreu Il log lying across the road in such
a way that she could not pass. AS there was
no one near to help her, and the los was be-
You'd her strength to move, she proceeded to
cut 1t in two with an ak she had in the wag-
OH. To her surprise, she had disturbed Il
mother bear and her family OF cubs The
bear. more frightened than angry took to
the woods, and the woman walked in search
of the men and their firearms Finding
them she conducted her rellc. ..,rty quickly
back to the log. to find that INC bear had
also returned. When ali "eIo stationed

tue log, and the bear made her second APP
pearance, this time angry ind vcngeful.
The man who stood ready for Just this
emergency missed his aim, dropped the gun,
and with all his other masculine companions
took to his heels. Left alone with the infu-
rated beast, with only an ax for defense,
this Indian woman coolly waited until the
bear came near enough, and letting the AK
fail with all her Knight upon lis head, killed it
with that one stroke. The same weapon aI-
piled to three of the little orphans effectively
prevented their ever realizing their loss, and
the other size kindly adopted and carried
home with her. Reaching her home, she
found her husband, son and others assem-
bled there. anxiously specializing as to what
could have been the result of the encounter

French Marriages.

Tho French import n due elaboration into
marriage ceremonies. They c%ontrive to get
wv ceremonies for our one. There is the
soirce du %contrat, or betrothul, and there is,
besides, tho happy day. 1t was at the soirce
du contrat that the immortal Paulette first
revealed herself in such engaging colors to
NJ. d'Alaly. Then there arc the presents, and
these likewise are of two varieties. The cor
beillo de marriage is LOT to be COMPOUNDED
with the trousscau. The corbcillc consists of
those pretty things which the bride can only
wear rs a married woman. The diamonds
arc in the corbeille, for diamonds are not for
girls. So is the mysterious cashmere shawl,
which, in that land of convention, is only
less a sign of the marriage state than the ring.
Yellow is a forbidden color for girls, so
there is sure to DO something yellow in the
corbcillc, if only as a sign of emancipation.
Lace is almost forbidden, so there will be
plenty of it hero. The plain pink of the maid
ems robe at tho soiree du contrat only en-
hanccs the splendors of the corbeille. All
young girls must wear pink OH this occasion.
Precisely for that reason, no doubt, Mile.

Restricting uindoo Women.

Tie Hindoo women travel as lightly as the
men, but the two sexes arc never put into the
SAINT cars. There arc closed cars on all of
the trains for high caste Hindoo women, and
these have windows of blue glass in the first
and second classes, which permit the women
to look out, but which prevent tho men from
looking i'll. These women come to the depot
in closed chairs, and as they go to the train
they pull their sllawls close about their faces,
though their ankles and calves, covered with
gold and silver bracelets, often show. In
some of the cars the windows of tho women's
compartments are SO fixed with shutters that
there can be no looking out, and III tho train
which carried me TO Darjeelins there was one
car covered with canvas rs thick as that of q
circus tent. This contained Hindoo women,

Annie Louise Cary.

She stood before an adorins house with ull
the old grand presence and cncilantlnent, and
sang that touching ballad, They Say |
Might Marry the Laird Ii | Would" There
was a subtle significance in the refrain, 'But
l will marry my ain love-" that the house
felt with an unmistakablo thrill. For better
than all the wide fame of the great prima
donna-one of the few greatest the world has
ever known-is the beautiful fulfllment of
the life of the woman in the peace and sweet
ness of her married happiness. After ono of
the most triumphant and respondent careers
of the lyric stage she has, indeed, married her
''ain love-" and tho wife, the friend, the wo-
man, is as great as was the singer with the
world at her feet.
To Annie Louise Cary is given not only the
matchless voice, tho marvellous power to
charm, but the charm is enriched and made
permanent by the soul that shines through
the beautiful eyes, tho dignity and nobleness

FRENCH DISHES ARE SIMPLE.
Some Having the Longest Names Are
Made of IIomely ingredients.

Some Having the Lounges Names Are
Made of lIomely ingredients.
Numbers of ~housekccpers are faithful to
the orthodox regime because they are i'll ia
vor of plain and simple food rs more health
giving and less likely to lead to mischief than
rich and complicated dishes. The mistake
they make is in thinking that, Lccause n dish
is new and has n fine name. therefore it is not
simple. Some of the French dishes that have
names most alosurdly long are made of the
simplest and most honrly ingredients. There
are English people who hold that it is n pity
that French names should he SO freely given
in cookery, and there Isl great deal to be
said for the opinion. At tho anne time we
have to remember that the French excel all
other nations in cookery, and they excel the
English far and away.
Very often, too, it has happened that the
French nave given n tito to Il dish to honor
the memory of some person who made Il for
tunate discovery concerning it. Thus Be-
channel sauce, to quote IL familiar example,
though simply superior white satcc, was
named after Louis Bcchamel, who invented
it; and outlets n Ia Maintenon, which are
outlets cooked in an envelope of buttcrcd
paper, were thus named because Nine. dc
Maintcnon found out that meat was made
more succulcnt by being wrapped in oiled
paper while it was being cooked.
Why should English speaking houscieepers
lose the advantage Of a discovery of this kind
merely because tho author thereof was
French! IIousckcepcls would, indeed, show
their wisdom by trying n new dish once u
wcck-no matter what its name is. They do
not want for recipes, because recipes abound
i'll these days. They know very well, how
ever, that those recipes only arc of value to
themselves which they have made their OWL
10y trying and proving. Let them add con-
t~inlaliy to the number thus proved, and
they sill insure variety i'll the daily fare.
Nero than this, they will lessen the druigery
of cookery and elevate it into an art.
We housekecpcrs are in error when We say
that servants will not tuketroublc% incool;cry.
AS IL rule, they arc glad to mako experiments,
and they like to add to their knowledge rs
much as wcdo. When there is never n thought
of change they grow weary of the monoto-
nous round las which of us would not9, but
they like the excitement of something new.
One way of making n good servant Settle
in her situation is to give her the opportunity
of learning new ways.-New York Star.
