His Hair Turned Gray.

A printer, well known in Atlanta had
an experience during the past few days
which he is likely to remember. Like
many better man he got hard up in
Birmingham last week. He wanted to
come to Atlanta, and he crawled into the
frst vacant stock car he saw, and as it
was night, rolled into one corner and
went to sleep. He was awakened in a
little while by lot OF mules being driven
in on him.
Scared? Well, l think l was" he
says in telling the story, But l wanted
to come, and | thought could pacify the
mules so they would les me alone. I soon
found that wouldn't work. They eyed
me- suspiciously, then bit at me until l
began to realize that there must be some
change or my last days had come. made
up my mind to ride one of the mules.
tried one and was promptly landed
against the top of the car. Then another

the most horrible ride any body ever
experienced, and you need not wonder at

Edible lowers.

The latest novelty in the vegetable line
is the introduction of edible flowers. The
two which are said to be the most salts
factory belong-absit omen to the thistle
family and rejoice in the nsmes of CALI
gonum polygonoides and bas5Ia lahfolia.
The popular favor of both English and
French seems to be hard to conquer in the
case of the new dishes, but doubtless ali
will come in time. 1t is related of a clever
Boston woman that once while she was
living in the country abroad, in spot
where the markets were extremely unre-
liable. she was one day surprised by the
arrival of several guests near the dinner
hour, 1t chanced, as it usually does
chance in such cases, that on that special
day her lardsr was more than commonly
bare, and She had little to set before her
guests. Her wit helped her cut, however.
The locusts We're in full bloom and select
ing number of the finest busters she
had them dipped in batter and then fried
N boiling oil.
The dish was not only an extremely
ornamental one, the shape OF the clusters
being not unlike that Of grapes, but it
proved very pal l4table as well, and if it
was not very substantial, it al least went
no inconsderahls way toward giving the
appearance Of solidity to tue some y hat
scanty dinner.-Boston Courier.

Treatment for Stanlnering.

1t is said that stammerers rarely, if ever,
show any impeachment to speech when
speaking in whispers. On this fact q new
method of treatment has been advocated
by DR.. Coen, which is as follows: In the
first ten Gays speaking is prohibited. This
will allow rest to the voice, and constitutes
the preliminary state Of treatment. Dur
ing the next ten days speaking is per
missible in the Whispering voice, and IN
the course of the next fifteen days the or
dinary conversational tone may be g1adu-
allY elu rloyed -Nedicas Journal,

Not After That Kind of a Jub.

Past Commander John s. Fraser, of the
Grand Army Of the Republic of this State,
told some friends the other night story
about man he sent down to the custom
house to get a job as a night watchman.
Collector Erhardt sent the man to the civ
il service board to be examined. The man
was quite Intelligent, aud answered the
questions put to him until he wss asked
what the distance was between the earth
and the sun. He hesitsted for time,
and finally acknowledged that he did not
know.
s'You don't know ?" asked the commits
sioner severely.

think I'd have to answer a question like
that. I'm looking for night job. "-Neso

Fire in an Asylum.

A fire occurred in the insane asylum at
Little Rock, Arkansas, last week, which
caused great deal of excitement. The
fire broke out in the boiler room and soon
spread through the entire building. There
were nearly 500 patients in the asylum, all
of whom were safely removed During
their removal, scene of pandemonium
reigned, patients screaming and cursing,
as the Keepers hustled them from floor to
door until they were safe. The timely
arrival of engines prevented the entire des-
truetion of the building. The loss sus-
tanned amounts to about $35, 900.

an Elephants Sagacity.

The stories Illustrating the sagaeity OF
the elephant are innumerable, but few are
more remarkable than the following one
recorded by writer in a Bombay paper
upon the authority of an artillery officer,
who was witness of the incident: The
battering train was going to the siege OF
Seringa patsm, when an artilleryman, who
was seated on the tumbril of one of the
guns by some accident fell almost directly
Under the hind wheel The elephant STA

from its keeper, lifted up the wheel with

MONTGOMERY, Ala, June 19.-Thc
nominations by the recent State Con
VcntionS have not settled all the poll
teal contests in Alabama for 1880
even in the ranks Of the Democracy.
The State officers will be elected
without opposition. except from the
Republicans. but the Democrats viii
have lively fight among themselves
and the Farmers Alliance i'll at least
two OF the Congressional districts.
William Oates, of the Third District.
and Hillary A. Herbert. OF the Second
District, will have strong opposition,
headed by the Alliance. They will
be opposed by the Alliance because
they have openly and boldly declined
to support the Sub Treasury bill now
pending i'll Congress. A. A. Wiley,
Of Montgomery, will Oppose Her
bert The opposition to MIR. Oates
has not decided upon its candidate
rs yet.
The Legislature which will assem-
bic next fall will elect a United States
Senator, and James l.. Pugh Will
have strong opposition to fight. He
will be opposed by Governor Scay,
Ex-Governor Thomas III. Watts and
probably II. T.. Kolb, who was recent
ly defeated as the Alliance candi-
date for Governor. Kolb has not en-
tered the race, but it is generally cb-
lieved that he will, and if he docs the
Alliance will support him. Leading
Alliance men say they are HOW III

) vJi. Butter hoxt refers to tho fact
that q committee of the Farmers
Convention and one of tho Economic
Caucus examined tho work of the
Department and commended it.
Col. Buffers letter concludes as
follows:
For nearly five years / have sub
mittcd to this sort OF thing,and when
ever j have had to appear III print l
have cndcavorcd to say nothing that
would offend the most sensitive read
CT.
II have conceived it to be my duty
to net courtcously even when doal
ing with blackguard, but forbcar-
nnce has almost ceased to be virtue,
| and it is question whether l can
longer submit to abuse without re-
taliation. This man Tillman hns
posed before the people for all this
time asa rcformcr. Let us see if his
professions are to be trusted. 1t is
generally believed that at the tilnclhc
profcsscd to be supporter of Gov
crnor Shcppard's he was endcavOring
to get Capt. w. G.. Cokcr, of Oar
| lington, to offer fer the same place.
If this is not true, let Capt. Cokor
and Mr.. Shcpaprd say so. 1t has
been stated, and Tillman has never
denied it, that he wrote Capt. Cokcr,
who of course did not encourage such
trcachery, letter promising his sup
port if he would enter the race. He
was instructed by his county convcn
ton to support Sheppard, yet in the
State convention he cndcavorcd to
cause break to Coker, which, if ii
had succeeded, would have defeated
the man he was pledged to support.
Would such man do to trust in Off
cial position! He would bctray his
brother if it proftcd him to do SO.
Again, ask Dr. Sampson Pope
OF Nowbcrry, one OF Capt. Tillman's s
strongest supporters, if he did not
have good reason to expect all tho
support Captain Tillman could give
him in his raco for Speakers. Of tho
House, and if after that he received
it! No more honorable man than
DR.. Pope walks this earth, and while
we differ widely in some matters,
have no doubt of his perfect integri
ty,and therefore appeal to him to sa,
whether or not Captain Tillman be
trayed him.
| "Whcn Tillman first began his ca
roer as public critic, l attributed
many of his erroneous statements t.
ignorance But he is IN intclligen
man-not n fool; and l have rcluc
tantly reached the conclusion that h
is determined to accomplish his pun
poses, if possible, by any means with
in his power, and that Ire believe
that a lie well stuck to is as good a
the truth His recent statement
can be explained in no other way.
