They Were too Modest.

Ex-Governor Watts, the newly-elect-
ed president of the Alabama State Bar
Association, is an Albanian who has
helped make history as attorney gener-
al of the Confederacy and Governor of
the State during the war. He tells
some good stories on himself. He and
Colonel John A Elmore were the attor-
neys for the Southern Express Com
pany against Agent Maroney at Mont
gomery, who stole an express package
containing $40, 900 before the war;
They got retaining fees of 800 each.
1t was hard to obtain evidence until a
Pinkcrton detective got into Maroney's
confidence. Maroney agreed to give
him the stolen money, except $500,
which he had spent, for safe keeping.
On the day of the trial the detective
walked into the court room with Marc
news sachel containing the money.
Maroney willie !, pleaded guilty and was
sent TO the penitentiary. The next day
Colonel Sandford, of the express COM
pany, called at the Office of Watts Ell
more to ascertain their fee. After con-
sultation the Governor says they decided
to ask 81 800 each.
Fifteen hundred dollars 70 repeated
Sanford
Eyes, sir, replied the Governor, "but
if you think it is too high, we are open
for debate"
ooh, no" replied Sanford. 81 had
filed ont and brought checks with me
for 81, 500 each.
And So" the Governor tells it, Sour
modcsty lost MS just 81 900 each"

dried and is then subjected to another
washing which turns it to n very deli
cate shade of pink. Another washing
brings out a dirty white color, and a
fourth treatment leaves it pure white,
if it has been properly dried after every
washing. When this condition is reached
the moss is ready for the market, and
must be housed as soon as it is dried,
for another wetting would reduce it to n
gelatinous moss. That would ruin it
for commercial purposes, for it is thus
that the housewife prepares it for the Ia
BILE, and every woman would properly
insist upon supervising that part OF the
cooking
When the moss is thoroughly bleached
any foreign bodies can easily be detected
in the moss, for other weeds do not
change their color, and they can readily
be separated from the moss. Then the
moss is packed in barrels, and is ready
for shipment Tho barrels hold about
100 pounds each, and the mossers find
ready sale for it on the beach at five
cents per pound. OF late years the
market has been glutted, but each sea-
sons crop is disposed of. : N. Y. Sun.

Some Millionaires' Incomes.

A Cleveland, Ohio, correspondent
writes that Mr.. II. NJ. Flagler said
short time ago that Mr.. John d. Rocke-i
feller's income had reached $4,000, 900
year. This startling statement from
man so well informed as Mr.. Flagler re-
garding the affairs of the Standard Oil
Company was the basis of careful in
quiry among brokers and well-informed
financiers as to the wealth of Cleveland
ers generally, and it can be safely said
that there are no less than sixty-three
millionaires within the limits of the
Forest City, to say nothing of immense
estates owned jointly by heirs.
Mr.. Flagler's statement regarding
Mr.. Rockefeller's income would make
the head of the great Standard Oil trust
worth $50, coo, 900 on per cent.
basis. He said his own income was
So, 000,0 600 n year, and estimated Col.
Oliver Payne's wealth at about $22, 000,-
600.
But the Standard Oil people are not
the only wealthy residents of Cleveland
whose holdings are represented i'll seven
and eight figures. Selah Chamberlain
is worth 10000, 900, most of which is
invested in the best of railway securi-
ties, and the S. V. Hardness estate, di-
vidcd but short time ago between Mrs.
Anna M. Hardness and three sons, is
said to have footed up SOS, 600, 900. The
combined wealth of Jepaha II. Wade and
his grandson, Homer Wade, who has al
ready inherited an immense fortune, is
certainly not less than ~, 900, 900.

Incredible Atrocities.

The men who appear the strongest and
whose escape is to be feared have their
hands tied, and sometimes their feet, III
such fashion that walking becomes a
torture to them, and on their necks are
placed yokeS which attach several OF
them together, says Cardinal Iavi9er1e,
writing of an African slave raid. They
march all day ut night, when they stop
to rest, few handfuls of raw sorgho are
distributed among the captives This
is all their food. Next morning they
must start again. But after the first
day or two The fatigue, the suf1erings and
the privations have weakened great
many. The women and the aged are
the first to halt Then, in order to
strike terror into this miserable mass
of human beings, their conductors,
armel with a wooden bar to economic
powder, approach those who appear to
be exhausted aud deal them terrible
blow ON the nape Of the neck. The I'M
fortunate victims utter II cry and fall
to the ground i'll the commissions OF
death The terrified troop Immediately
resumes its march. Terror has mbued
even the weakest with new strength.
Each time some one breaks down the
horrible scene is repeated. At night,
on arriving at their halting place, after
the first days of such life, n not less
frightful scene awaits them. The traf-
fickers in human flesh have acquired by
experience n knowledge of how much
the victims can endure. A glance shows
them those who will soon sink from
weariness then, to economize the
scanty food which they distribute, they
pass behind the wretched beings and
fell them with single blow. Their
corpses remain where they fall, when
they are not suspended from the
branches of the neighboring trees, and
it is close to them that their comrades
are obliged to cat and to sleep. But
what sleep it may be easily imagined.

A COmical CannOnade.

The first thing that strikes O lands
man on man-o'-war is the rigid disci-
pline observable everywhere. Much of
it seems absurd, but it is no doubt all
useful, if we only knew it.
Some smaller and foreign nations do
not agree with us, however. Discipline
is very lax on the ships belonging to the
tropical nations, and especially on those
of Hayti. where every man does pretty
much as he pleases.
Some time ago, the Defense, a Hay
ten man-o'-war, was lying in the harbor
of Port-au-Prince. One day, mess
cook, for some reason, cleaned about a
peck of knives and forks on tho gun
deck, and being suddenly called away,
seized the mcss-pot full of knives and
forks and stuck it in the muzzle of the
ten ilch gun, putting the compton in af-
ter it. About an hour afterward the ad-
miral came aboard, and, as the gun wa,
loaded with blank cartridge, they used
it to fire salute.
1t happened that the gun was aimed
toward the town, and almost point,
blank at the Grand Hotel. The guests
assembled on the porch to witness the
ceremonies, when they were saluted
with rain of knives and forks, which
stuck against the wooden walls like
quilts on porcupine. Fortunately no
one was hurt, although there were
many narrow escapes.
No one knows what punishment was
inflicted on the cook for his careless
ness, but in the American or English
navy it would have been very severe

Sarah Bernhardt Resolved"

The Women's Humane Society of
Missouri appointed Mrs. Albert Todd to
draft resolutions regarding the State
ment of the papers that Sarah Bern
hardt burned to death her pet dog. Mrs
Todd presented the following:
The papers state that Sarah Bernhardt
when in a fit of anger, seized her pet spaniel
thrust it into the stove, and burned to death
the innocent creaturel All because 1t was
begging it's mistress in a most winsome way
for recognition of it's love. II this be true, we
feel it to be our duty as humane society,
also as human beings, to condemn in severest
terms such O wicked and cruel act; therefore,
be it
Resolved, That the Womens Humane
Society of Missouri, many OF whose members
have witnessed with rapt admiration and
wild enthusiasm the great Bernhardt's per-
feet rendition of the histrionic art upon the
stage, do, with great indignation and pain,
denounce her late act as been barbarous and
shocking beyond expression.
Resolved That this stigma upon the great
actress will in all civilized countries create
such feeling against her that should she re-
visit these countries she will be coldly re-
ceived.
Resolved, That this Illuminating act makes
us f. ell indeed that we are miserable sin
ners." And we say to her that the above is
not expressed in any spirit of malice what
ever, but that if held our peace the
stones would cry out"
Resolved, That our secretery be instituted
to send q COPY of these resolutions to Sarah
Bernhardt, and also send a copy to each
hnmane society in the United States.
The story of the actress cremating her
dog is probably without foundation.

The Regular Way.

One evening, few years ago, the late
Elijah NJ. Haines, of Illinois, was called
upon to preside at meeting of lawyers
assembled inSpringfield for the purpose
of considering the best means of passing
a bill then pending i'll the Legislature.
Mr.. Haines, ON taking the chair, ex-
planned the purposes of the meeting and
suggested what he thought would be the
best way to insure the bills passage. In
terrupting him, gentleman in one of
the rear seats rose and said:
''By the way, Mr.. Chairman, if may
make suggestion right here" -
"Ihe gentleman's suggestion is very
good one, sa d the keen chairman.
Chow do you know p asked the gen
tleman little miGed. 81 have mt made
it yet"
'Oh, replied Mr.. Haines, 81 thought
you said buy the way, and I am sure
that is the quickest and easiest means of
obtaining way to pass a bill.
