Clerks Office at Gainesville, Ga, which
conveys to the purchaser all the land
south of the grantor's door. The grant
or or maker lived near Clarke's Greek
Church, and the deed covers all the
surface of the earth south of that
point If the heirs of the purchaser
could hold the premises conveyed, the
Rothschilds, Vanderbilts, and Goulds
would be the veriest beggars compared
with them.

TORONTO, ONT., March 9.-Reforring TO
President HaErison's inaugural address the
Empire CONSERVATIVE says:
president HarEison's inaugural address
is not a startling document, but is appar-
emily the utterance Of an honest, honorable
man, who feels deeply the responsibility Of
his high position and is determined to do
his duty to the people over whom he has
been called to preside The tone through
out the message IS high, and there seems to
be the ring Of sincerity in the excellent ad-
vice hegives on many important subjects
The Mail (Ind.) says: General Harri-
sons message Is not a document which is
likely 70 become history as the straightfor-
ward utterance of man who holds has ideas
honestly. Though some Of them are pscu-
liar, their deliverance is entitled TO certain
respect The president voiced the opinion
Of sensible poole as to keeping out Of wars
snu JingOism; he uttered some wise words
as to tbs OWL service: but taken as whole
the message is characterized by placid COM
completeness, which Is, after all, far better
than mock herOics and inflated bunC 1mbess -
The Globe (Liberan says; President
Harr1sOn's rather bOmbastiC address seems
to signify that he means to enter upon a
policy Of expenditure that would delight the
heart of our own Sir John. The president
may be congratulated on having disc 9vered
a new name for policy that enhances the
price of the people s ReCessaries. He calls

The Irish Sultan Of Morocco.

II is not generally known that be-
sides being the liueal descendant OF
the prophets daughter, Fatima ~
her marriage with Mohammed's IA
nous general Blu Bekr, the present
sultan has some Irish blood in his
veins. In the early part Of the pres
ent century an Irish sergeant Of sap
pers, who had been detached from the
British garrison at Gibraltar at the re-
quest Of Sultan Sidi Mohammed, died
in the latter's service. His widow, a
pretty Galway girl, wishing TO be sent
home, sought an audience Of his ma
iesty. 1t was granted, with the result
that Sid Mohammed, struck by her
beauty, made her an offer Of mar
riage, which she accepted. She be.
came the sultan's favorite wife, and
on his death her son, Muley Yezid,
nicknamed the Red Beard, assumed
the power, and iiguresin history as the
most s%anguinary monarch known in
the annals Of Morocco. His favorite
pastime was 10 roast Jews alive in
the body of u bull or TO play bowls
with the heads of his attendants,
freshly decapitated for the purpose.
With strange inconsistency he would
at other times perform acts Of the
most astounding generosity and kind
ness, thus causing his name TO be
cursed and blessed in turns. -Tangier

Marmosets are easily procured and
not difficult to keep. Like all of their
race, they hate a cage, and being very
sensitive to cold they insist, when
tanned, on being about ones person all
the time. In winter, therefore, they
are somewhat troublesome, unless one
is very fond Of them. They, as well
as all monkeys, are rather dainty in
appetite, and will have what they like
or starve. They usually accept fruits,
especially bananas and apples. Some,

Horse Dentistry.

Treating horses for diseases of the
teeth and mouth is a new feature in
veterinary practice. Since its intro.
duction in ST. Louis, however, il has
been demonstrated that a majority of
the ailments TO which the horse is sub
jected comes from diseased and defect
i've teeth. This can be observed al
most any day upon the street, where
you see horses being driven that hold
their heads 10 one side, or have their
tongues protruding from their mouths,
or frothing at the mouth. All of this
comes from some defect in the teeth.
An exposed nerve or an liberated
tooth is as painful 10 a horse as it is TO
a human being, but most generally
the poor animal is allowed to go
through the greater part of its exist
ence without any attempt being made
TO relieve it, Extracting and filling
teeth in horses is now a regular bust
ness in 81. Louis, and there is scarcely
a large establishment where q large
number of horses are employed but
that the service of a dentist is neces-
sary.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

eyes of both when the meeting took
place. From the negro there was a

that the old negro could not have de-

street al ticket TO 90 out and see the
young mans mother. He was merely
a visitor, but old associations made
his visit a happy one. Little children
whom he had never seen chung around
his knees, and when he went away
they trolled behind him up the street
and flung kisses after him, and, at the
last, he took off his hat, fished in it for

A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
over Half Million Lost ut n leading CAL
iGOFnIa Grain Centre,

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, August 26,-The
town OF Port Costa on the Carwuine1
Straits, which is great grain centre oI
California, was the scene Of destruc'
tive fire, involving a total loss OF about
100000. The fire originated in ware
house No, 2, a wooden building 1850
feet long, The warehouse contained
about 700 tons OF grain, and isa entire
loss. In the meantime the fire COM
municated to the wllarVes and shipping
alongside. The American wooden ship
Armenia and the British wooden ship
Honowaur, both partially loaded with
wheat, were burned TO the water edge.
The rigging OF the British ship Keni-
worth caught fire, but before any serious
damage had occurred to the hull she was
towed into stream and her hold flooded.
She had a cargo OF 5000 tons OF wheat
on board, which will probably prove
nearly a total loss,
In addition to the warehouse and
wharyes, forty freight cars OF the South"
ern Pacific Company, loaded with grain,
were burned, upon which there was no
insurance. The loss on warehouse and
contents is placed at S35O,OOO, upon
which there Is an estimated total lnsur-
apce Of 100000. The wharVes were
valued at $4,000, and were insured for
$4,000. The Armenia was valued at
$4,000, and the Honowaur at $4,000.
Both ships were insured in foreign COM
panies, The Kenitworth's cargo was
valued at $4,000, fully insured.

BLACK BART'S DEEDS
Are outdone by a Lone High

HE HOLDS UP A STAGE COACH

Little Booty and Escapes.
A Posse In Pursuit,

ASHLAND, WIS.,, August 26.-Black
Bart's most daring deeds in the noun
tain passes Of Colorado were outdone
to-day by lone highwayman who held
up and robbed the stage that runs be-
tween Gogebic, on the Milwaukee, Lake
Shore & Western Railroad, just over the
limo in Michigan aud Gogebic Lake, a
summer resort, where people from the
large cities spend dog days, The
stage was running along at a
lively gait through a dense for
est, when about two miles from the
station man jumped out In front Of It,
and pointing two big navy revolvers at
the driver, commanded him in good old
western style to throw up his hands, at
the same timo extending the same order
to the four passengers inside the coach,
One OF the passengers Clinched a pistol
In his hand aud began firing at the rob-
ber. The deperado returned the fire,
and although the driver whipped the
horses into gallop, his aim was true,
D. MackerChar, O book'keeper in the
First National Bank Of Minneapolis, re.
Ceiving the first bullet in his cheek,
while II second went crashing through
his leg.
Another passenger named FleesChbain
OF Belleville, Ills, was mortally wound-
cd. He raised up in the seat as tho
horses were whipped away lust in time
to receive bullet in the hip, H0 fell
forward and pitched over the side oil the
coach into the roadway. The horses
continued on run and the wounded
man was left to take his chances with
the robber. That william threatened at
first to kill him, but hually desisted
after securing S37 and his watch and
chain. Tho wounded man lay bleeding
in the road for three hours before any
one courageous enough to go t. his
succor was secured. He was taken
to the hospital at Bessemer, but the loss
OF blood was so great as 10 blight
all hope OF recovery. MaCkerChar was
taken to Eagle River for treatment, and
from there 10 his home at Minneapolis.
There were two other passengers on the
coach, but neither OF them were molest-
cd. They were William Paddon, OF 1866
Washington street, Chicago, and Robert
Rideout, OF Chicago. A description OF
the robber tallies TO the letter with that
OF the daring free booter who went
through a North Western train near
Ellis junction some time ago. Sheriff
Dave Foley, Of Bessemer, at once organ
lied u posse Of dozen men, and has
gone in pursuit.

references to the editor Of the Courier
Journal, made in n speech delivered ut

missioner OF Pensions, we have TO say
that it is disgraCcful to the administra.
ton aud blot upon the public service
OF the country that man Capa-
BILE OF making an attack 80
wanton and indecent upon one,
and most OF all upon one whom he
does not personally know, and who has
given him no cause for private grief or
otTense, should hold an Office OF impor.
tance under the Government. No cir.
CumstanCe could better illustrate the
spirit Of the agrarian raid upou the
Treasury proposed In the name OF pa
triotism, or the character OF the individ.
ual who leads it, than the loose gabble
OF this irresponsible blackguard. Mr..
Watterson cannot DO expected TO en-.
gage iu a mud battle with Mr.. Tanner,
As matter OF fact, the Washington
bureau OF the Courier.JOurrdl has been
for months under instructions TO treat
every one connected with the admins
tration with personal courtesy, and par.
ticularly the Commissioner OF Pensions,
since It was the purpose OF the paper to
resist and oppose, with all proper EN-.
phasis, his official policy.
Not q word has appeared in these
columns TO give him just occasion for
anger, so that the eagerness with which
he seeks TO stigmatize an entire class Of
his countrymen, through an unprovoked
assault upon one OF their representatives,
disclosed not only Ills own want Of
sense, dignity, and principle, but at the
same time, the sinister methods by
which he expects to rektndle the dying
embers Of war, whilst he and his fol.
lowers, steal a march on the tax payers.
It has been a rule Of this Office en-
Joined upon each and every one Of our
irresponsible young men, never 10 flirt
with a fool, nor TO fight with a cripple
and since 1t is well for doctors TO follow
their own prescriptions, II shall III this
instancebe readily applied by Mr.. Wat
terson 10 Mr.. Tanner, Meanwhile the
fight against his advance movement
upon the peoples money shall not be
abated,
