Old Exception.

In Atlanta, Ga, there is an old busi-
ness man, with snow-white beard and
hair, whom everybody calls Old Excep-
tion. When Sherman's army infested
Atlanta, Sherman issued an order that
all non-combative Confederates should
leave the city within twenty-iour hours.
This man, who was founder, called at
Sherman's headquarters. Il want" he
said, "to remain in Atlanta. I am a
business man, and had no hand in the
hostilities. Didn't you cast guns for
the rebels in eour foundry?" Gen.
Sherman inquired. "Yes," was the re-
ply, II did, but I had to do it. / have
large interests here. General, and I
wish you would make me an exception
I'd like to stay to look after my prop
erty." "Yes," said Sherman, grimly,
"I'll make an exception in your case.
The Atlanta mans face frightened, and
he started to leave. Orderly" Gen.
Sherman called, "Ive concluded to
make an exception in this mans case.
The orders are that, all citizens shall
leave Atlanta within twenty.four hours.
This man must leave here within an
hour. If he doesn't, shoot him." Ever
since the war this old man has been
called Old Exception.

Then it is wheeled back to the Chin

Why the Hens Do Not Law.

One of the puzzling questions that often
arise in the experiences of persons raising
fowls, says the New York World, is why
their hens are not laying as well as a neigh
boris, who is far more fortunate in the
weekly additions made to his egg basket.
From the directions given in poultry jour
mails and by manufacturers of specifics for
egg production many persons start out
with the confident expectation Of uninter-
rupted success in raising chickens and eggs,
to find at last that the business has for some
reason become Improbable.
The truth is, there is variableness in the
laying of fowls under what, at first sight,
appears to be very similar conditions
where none of the directions given for
making the hens lay appear to have the de-
sired effect. In purchasing hens for lay
ing particular attention should be
given to the color and appearance
of their combs which should be bright and
red. When the combs has a dull, sickly
color, and kind of fattened-down appear
ance, no amount of feeding or care will
force the laying of eggs as long as these
conditions exist. Again, the legs should be
smooth and clean and free from scales OF
the appearance of spurs, both of which in
dIcate that the hen has passed the laying
age. The COCK should be bought out of a
different flock and be as purely bred as Dos
sible. The principal causes of failure III
egg production are believed to be, first,
beeding in and in, or failure to introduce
new blood from sources entirely outside OF
ones wn flock, and, third, keeping the flock
too long in the same run.

An Acre in Potatoes That Paid the

mons. He could find nothing against the
moral characters of the applicants for citi-
zenship. They had broken no law; had
lived the lives of just men and given fair
promise of making good citizens; yet
MS honor held, in effect, that the Mormon
church was a criminal organization, and
that Its members could not be good citizens,
hence it would be improper to naturalize
foreign. born men who professed a belief in
the doctrines of the church. We have al
ways thought the decision was political,
just as the celebrated inquiry was political
we have always believed that if an election
had not been close at hand. contest be-
tween Mormons and non Mormons, the
Judge would never have formed and deliv-
cred such ridiculous opinion. The strug
gle would necessarily be close, and every
vote would count; the denial of citizenship
to Mormons would deprive the Peoples
party of hundred or two ballots; we may
be in error, but our conviction was and is
that the getting rid of those votes was
more the occasion of the famous decision
than the belief in his honor's mind that he
was justified by the letter and the spirit of
the law
There have been indications that Chief
Justice ZANE, an eminentIy better lawyer
than his associate, never fully agreed with
the opinion although as it was rendered IN
his court he stood by it, and it has since
been the law in the Third district. On
Tuesday the chief justice found an oppor-
tunity, and he took advantage of it, to set
aside the decision, and to announce that
hereafter membership in the Norm on
church would not be bar to naturalization
Judge ZANE, in doing this, takes Judicial
cognizance of the fact that the president
of the Mormon church has officially de
clared that polygamy will be neither taught
nor permitted and of the other fact that
the members Of the church in general as
sembly have approved and sustained the
president in his PRONUNCIATION. His honor
is to be complimented on his vacation of {
rule which was an insult to intelligence
and rank violation of plain law, and The
Mormons are to be congratulated on the
restoration of one of the rights which thi!
great government is too big and generou:
to deny.
