EoLN's MELANCHOLY.

His Sympathetic Nature and His
Misfortunes.
v Those who saw much of Abraham
Lincoln during the later years of his
life, were greatly impressed with the
expression of profound melancholy
his lace always wore in repose.
Mr. Lincoln was of peculiarly
sympathetic and kindly nature.
rLcse strong characteristics in
Iucnced, very happily, as it proved,
his entire political career. They
would not seem, at first glance, to
he efficient airs to political success;
but i'll the peculiar emergency which
Lincoln, in the providence of God,
was called to meet, no vessel of C on
mon clay could possibly have be-
come the "chosen of the Lord"
Those acquainted with him from
boNhood know that early griets ting
ed his whole life with sadness. His
partner in the grocery business ut
Salem, was "lncle" Billy Grce:l, OF
Tallula, ILL.,. who used mt night, when
the customers We're few. to hold the
grammer while Lincoln rccited his
lessons.
1t was to his sympathetic ear Lin
coin told the story oil his love for
sweet Ann Rutlidge: and he, in re.
turn, offered what comfort lie could
when poor Ann died. and Lincoln's
great heart nearly broke.
".lIter Ann died" says"l Uncle" Bill
ly, "on stormy nights. when the
wind blew the rain against the root,
Abe would set 1iiar in the grocery,

He Grew Fat on Chicken Diet at the
Water Works.
Some colored plowmen killed large oak
leaf rattlesnake near the water works yes
terday afternoon. His snakeship was about
feet Z inches in length, about 5
inches in diameter. and had nine
rattles and a button The snake
was killed with hoe by one Of the
men, and after it was skinned and opened it
was found that it had swallowed chicken.
Supt. Manning, who has the rattles as a
souvenir and sovereign cure for
headache, says he has been losing
his chickens about the water works grounds
and is very anxious to have the mate of the
snake killed, to prevent further incursions
on his poultry yard.
The serpent attracted considerable atten-
ton at George S. McAlpin's gun store,
where the skin was removed to undergo the
tanning process. Mr.. c. B. Westcott, who
is an authority in such matters, says that
the snake is curious specimen.
which is very rarely found la

diamond spots on ths back which are usually
found On the rattlesnake, spots similar to
an oak leaf covered it's velvety back. hence
1t is known as the oak leaf rattlesnake.

THE SEN ATORIAL CAMPAIGN.

Speculation as to Whether Mr.. Nor
wood Will Avow his Candidacy.
Now that Gov. Gordon has accepted the
challenge of Mr.. Nor wood to joint debate,
with the proviso that Mr.. Norwood shall de-
clare himself candidate for United States
senator, there will be considerable interest
taken in the matter until Mr. Norwood's re-
ply is Forthcoming. Mr.. Nor woods friends
already recognize hiup as a candidate, and
say that he cannot expect to let Gov. Cor
don make canvass and hope to beat the
governor. They will urge him to announce
his candidacy openly. This was the feeling
yesterday before it was known that Gov.
Gordon hal replied to the challenge
Said gentleman from Effingham county
yesterday to a MORNING NEWS reporter:
'Do you know that this is going to be a
mighty lively senatorial campaign! Well.
il Is aud it is my opinion that while there

contest on the stump, the real battle will be
in the Legislature, when the alliance will
demand that their men vote for an alliance
man for SENATOR
Referring to the secret circular sent out
asking the organization to support Norwood
for congress, the gentlemen went on to say
that he had been shown the circular by one
high in authority in the alliance, and while
he does not know that such instructions
have been given in the senatorial matter,
yet he feels satisfied that the alliance has
not changed its attitude.
When asked how Col Wright, the legis-
lative candidate in Etfingham stands, the
gentlemen says that he Is an anti Gordon
man.

nomination. The anti-Gordon men say that
Capt. Williams owes his nomination TO
alliance votes, and that he was Endorsed by
sub alliances in Bryan county, aud eau
not despise the bridge that carried him
over, and that the resolution adopted by
the senatorial convention declaring
for Gov. Gordon for senator wss
unprecedented, aud passed without giving

Gordon in preference to Livingston, but

prominent Georgian said Yesterday
that he regrets to see that the campaign is
being conducted with such acrimony in
some Of the congressional districts. and he
fears that the canvass for United States
senator will grow more bitter and personal
before Its close, as everything points to
campaign of that kind.

USELESS BELL RINGING.
The Big Duke Disturbs the Quiet
the Neighborhood

The Big Duke Disturbs the Quiet of
the Neighborhood.
Complaint has been made recently by
the people in the vicinity of the fire depart
ment headquarters of the ringing of the
"big duke" for the alarm tests at $3.50
o'clock every afternoon.
Those who are disturbed declare that the
clangor of the big Duke'' is a nuisance.
and the less patiently borne because there
is no necessity for ringing it, as it can be
switched off, the gongs in the engine houses
answering all signal requirements.
Chief Puder. when his attention was
called to the matter last night by a MORN
ING NEWS reporter, said that he had not
heard of any complaints in that direction.
1t would be very easy matter, he said. to
switch off the wire connecting the ''big
duke" with the signal alarm system. de
does not seem to favor the idea of cutting
off the big duke. He says the fire alarm
boxes have been working perfectly of late
and are in good order. Chief Puder expects
that as soon as council decides upon the
police signal alarm system, now In contem-
plation,a first-class electrician will be put In
charge of the police and fire alarm wires.

A CLAIM OF MAGNANIMITY.
What Peasants Did at waycross for
Harmony.

harmO ny.
L. M. Peasants (colored) Yesterday
said that Capt. Doyle was nominated
by the Peasants following, and that he
could not have received the nomination
without their consent They were deter
mined. he says, that il Doyle was nomi =
mated at all. 1t should be by their crowd.
1T was done for the sake of harmony. "
added the colored leader, and TO unite the
two wings of the party in this district.
Pleasants says that the party is now
united, and with a solid front is prepared
for square fight.
When asked if the Peasants faction will
support Doyle, he answered: "To be sure.
l intend to canvass the district for him
myself"
Peasants seemed to be laboring under
the impression that the republican candi-
date had more than the ghost of a show.
The friends of Capt. Doyle say that he will
have prominent republican orators from the
north to speak in the district, and it is un-
derstood that Secretary OF the State Blaine
will be brought TO Savannah, on the occa-
sion of his visit to Atlanta next month.
and address the republicans of this city in
the interest of the republican candidate for
congress.
Capt. Doyle returned last night by the
Albany express. A carriage was in wait
ing for him, and without coming down
town he was driven to his home at Thun-
derbolt
