house, telling the man at the wheel what he
ought t. do from rime TO time. aud the
funny man stood close by with his over
] coa buttoned up aud mis- hands in his
pockets.
When the funny man had kept still long
enough, he spoke TO the captain:
'Cap'n." said he why do you tell him to
| keep her TO port, and then ask him to keep
her st adyl She'd keep steadier if she kept
clear Of the port, don't you thinks"
Have TO keep her to port so she'll keep
away from the bar, replied the captain, as
be raised his glass and glanced anxiously

The funny man shrugged his shoulders,
walked away few steps, returned and
asked the captain If they kept the vessels log
down among her beam ends.
NO." said the captain, I'VE keep it in the
log clbin."
"pve often wondered said the funny
man, thoughtfully, why the wheels of a
steamboat don't work together"
They do"'

How'd you tear your coat, cap'n"
Caught it on one o the points o. the
compass"
Then the funny man walked around q

SESSION OF The ALL1ANcEMzN.
The Exchange to Bard Q This Years
Cotton Crop.

NOhAOh CACP-
ATLANTA, GA, Aug. 19.-Much work was
accomplished at the meeting Of the trustee
stockholders Of the Georgia alliance yester-
day. They raised a resolution accepting
the resignation of Hon. Felix Corrupt, and
thanking him for the services and good he
has done the alliance.
In pursuance of q resolution passed
yesterday the exchange will arr nge
10 ha die this years cotton
crop. The stockholders mean to reach tie
spinners directly, and, in the language of
one of II e directors, make them pay for the
cotton if they get it; in other words, hold
the cotton u til tie farmer who raised 1t
can receive its worth.
ALL RIGHT FINAYcIALLY.
The exchange claims ID be fully able to
handle the alliance cotton crop, and the
managers claim that if they haven't the
money they can get 1t. They have col
lected only two installments and now have
on hand between So, 600 and $4,000. The
third installnent will be collected Oct. l,
and the credit side Of the cash book will
show over 100000.
This mornings session was called to
order at 10 o'clock by Col. Livingston.
A list of the delegates to the convention
was then read.
COL. LIvINGsToN's ADDRESS.
The special feature of to-day's session was
the address made by Col. Livingston. In
his speech be gave an able and rapid review
of the alliance organization since its iucep-
ton, and showed that every member ought
to be proud of the order. he congratulated
them on the manner in which they had
stood unfinchingly for their rights and
principles in the face of all obstacles. He
thought that laggards in the order
had lost the opportunity Of their
lives, and stood disgraced before all men.
The speech was well received aud succeeded,
If that were possible. in giving Col. Living
ston a stronger hold on the people than he
had before.
After Col. Llvingston's address several
others were made by some of the leading
alliancemen.
Officers will probably be elected to.
morrow.
The convention will be in session until
Thursday night.

Emin Does 9 Little Killing.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.

FROM t1e tIiL HCtt OdzeUe.
The Emin expedition. we were told the
other day. was progressing favorably." A
telegram in this mornings Times throws
some light on what this means:
'Emiu had some severe fighting with the
Nasal in Ugogo aud killed very many of
them, using a Maxim gun with destructive
effect. His soldiers, armed with the new
German rifle, fired an immense quantity OF
ammunition, of which the Pasha now needs
Il lresa supply. Emin Pasha seized leo
head of cattle and had some other fighting
with the Ugogo natives, whom he defeated
with great slaughter"
1t would require Carlyle to do justice to
the grim humor of Stanley fighting 1.-The
natives" TO relieve Emin; and then of Emin
moving them down with Maxim gun in
order 10 return. We wonder WIN he final
butchers bill will be OF the Ealla relief ex-
petition and the Emin return expedition be-
tween them.

ladies on an outgoing steamer a few days
ago His head will be cut off by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury certain. Christopher
is as black as the average negro. has slight
education, and pretended to WELD great in
f1uence among the republicans here. His
petition for place as one of Deveaux's
deputies was well signed, and he was APP
pointed. After appointment Christopher
developed an astonishing case of big head,
and of late has been very obnoxious TO all
parties. A few weeks ago he attempted to
sit down in a gentlemen's Office, but
was promptly fired. Last week,
under the pretense of inspecting,
he boarded small steamer,
and, not being noticed quick enough, began
cursing and abusing the officers, relying
upon the republican regime for protection.
Several ladies were compelled to leave the
boat and be rowed to land on account of
his actions, and upon their return to the
city complaint was promptly filed with
Collector Deyeaux

FLAMES LICK UP A FACTORY.
Atlanta Has the Biggest Blaze Since
the Kimball Burned.

u
ATLANTA, GA, Aug. 19.-The Southern
Springfield and Lounge Factory, which is
located at the corner of Marietta and
Foundry streets, was burned tonight. The
cause of the fire is unknown, but it is
thought it started in the engine room. The
loss i, supposed to be between $l00, 900 and
Sl25,000. The Insurance will not cover the
los. The factory was owned by Gholstein,
Haas & Guthman. They have been doing
a very excessive business since last March.
The tirenen worked nobly. but their hard
work was to no avail. as the flames had
gained too much head way before the alarm
was turned in. This is the largest fire
Atlanta has had since the Kimball
house was burned. The walls gave way
and fell in a certain way, which was the
cause of saving the whole block from burn
ing.

1t is a great deal easier to understand
what is being said when we have some
idea of what the speaker is likely to say.
Persons who are making their first visit
to a bank and are unfamiliar with the
directions which are apt to be given
them sometimes hear very crookedly in
their bewilderment.
"An' will We tell me where is the eel
lar windy?" inquired a woman of one of
the officials in Boston savings bank
last week.
"The cellar window! What do you
want of the cellar window? There isn't
any that know of, replied the aston
ished gentleman.
"Well, 1 told the gintleman over there
that wanted ter lave my money here,
an he said, Take it ter the cellar windy,
an I'm lookin' fur it now"
"Oh yes, l see, this next window here.
That's the place you want" and the
quick witted and experienced official
pointed to the teller's window.
Not long afterward the same gentle
