Believing it to be good policy
and right to run a Democ:at for all
elective offices, and believing also
that only good men should be nomi-
mated, THE COMET would like to
see Col. w. P. Dungar, of Carter
county, make the race for Senator
from this district. He is a staunch
Democrat and would make a race
that would be creditable to the
party, Without consulting him,
but knowing that his Democracy is
of kind tat neither flickers nor
falters, we place him in nomination.

GulIs and Their Young.

An observer of sea gulls says: Every bird
watches over and cares for her own nest,
though the numbers are so great and the
tumult so excessive that it is difficult to con-
ceive how each gull can distinguish her own
spotted eggs placed in the midst of so many
others exactly similar in size, shape and
color. And when at length the young are
Matched, and are swimming about on the
loch or crowded together on some grassy
point, the old birds, as they come home from
a distance with food, fly rapidly amid thou
sands of young ones exactly similar to their
they find their OWE offspring, which, recog-
nizing their parents among the other birds,
receive the morsel without any of the hungry
little creatures around attempting to dispute
the prize, each waiting patiently for its own
parent, in perfect confidence that its turn will
come in due eason.--Exchange

IceIanders in North Dakota,

1t has only been within the past ten years
or so that this class Of immigrants began to
colonize North Dakota to any extent. There
are now about $500 of them located along
tie border, in Pembina county. They are
clannsh as rule They are well educated
in their native language, and rapidly acquire
knowledge of English. When the advance
guard first arrived they started for the sand
hills, as the foot hills Of the Pembina noun
tains are called. They have been going there
ever since, and this is where the main colony
is located, though there are Icelanders to be
found all through the county. Like the Scan
dinavians they, as a rule, were very poor
when they first arrived. Frugality, ability
to stand the rigorous weather of northern
midwnter, and knowledge of farming and
stock raising have been the basis of their
prosperity. Many of them have grown COM
paratively rich in five years, while Ameri-
cans and Canadians with equal advantages
have just made both ends meteor. Phila-

A BOOM THAT UNEARTHS A
HISTORIC TOMB.

The boom at the new town Of Middlebo-
rough in the Virginia corner of Cumber-
land Gap, has unearthed the tomb of an
Augusta county man who passed away
over a century ago. land wholived during the
time that the colonies were being doomed
into a Republic. While the workmen were
excavating near the marlborough Hotel
last week, they found shattered and time
worn grave stone that leads back to the
early history of Louisville. The tablet was
badly shattered and had stood on four stone
posts which have been carried away. 1t
marked the grave of Col Arthur Campbell,
who, by a grant from King George III,
owned thousand acres of land, on which
the city of Louisville is now located. The
land lay south Of Broadway and many years
ago was cut up into town lots and sold by
Arthur L. Campbell, a son of the old colo
mel.
The tombstone was inscribed, as were
the monuments of all those of that day, and
though it had been broken INTO several
pieces, the inscription could plainly be read
by placing the pieces together. The words

KING PHOSPHATE

FHOSFHATF.
Ocala is in the centre of the great phos-
plate region of Florida There's millions
in it, Nothing else ever showed up so
quick or realized so soon. 1t seems that
cotton must lay down his crown and co.
bacco resign her throne to phosphate, or
make compromise and divide honors with
him. Agnew and Dunn two princes of the
realm, rival bankers here, are running
large phosphate manufactures at Dunnel-
Ion, half mile from each other, and 25
miles from here, and Albertus Vogt, the
discoverer of ''the stuff who is sirnamed
''the Duke of Dunnellon," keeps his bank
account here. 1t is all in Marion county
and Ocala is the county seat.

The sultan awoke W ia sti1ed scream;
HIS nerves were shocked by a fearful dream.
An omen OF terrible import and doubt
Ills teeth all in one moment fell out.
His wise men assembled ut break Of dny.
ana stood at the throne in solemn array.
And whom the terrible dream was told
Each felt shudder his blood ran cold;
All stood silent in fear ana dread.
And wondering what was best 10 lie said,
At length n soothsayer, wrlnklcd and gray.
Cried: Pardon, my lord, what have to say
"Tis an omen Of sorrow sent from on hIchI
Thou shal see all thy kindred die"
Wroth was the sultan; he gnashed HIS teeth,
And his very words seemed to hiss and seothe
As lie ordered the wise man bound with chains.
And gave him bundled stripes for his pains
Tho wise men shook us the suItan's cyc
swept iCund to see who next would try.
Exclaimed in II loud and Joyous tono: -
"Exult o head of n happy stated
Rejoice, o heir of u glorious futei
For this is the favor thou shalt win,
. sultan: To Outl!ve all thy KIM"
Pleased was tho sultan, and called siai5
AND hundred crowns to tho wise man gave
But the courtiers nod, with grave, sly winks:
And each one whispers what each one thinks:
We'll can the sultan reward and blame;
Didn't both the wise men fOrctell the same2"
QuOth the crafty old vizicr, shaking his head:

The territory adjacent to the College has

Jean Paul Wrote Them.

The last issue of DeUtSchc Dichtun9,
a continental semi-monthly of high lit.
crary standing, contains many hitherto
unpublished aphorisms and letters OF
Jean Paul. Here are some of the for.
mer:
although a man marry but once,
he always has as many wives as chill.
drcn. Every child brings his wife a
new mood. Have you three children
you have four wives.
Men whose opinions have the weak.
est foundations are least open to con.
viction. Swampy land is not liable to
earthquakes,
"Phautasy looks at pain through
convex, stoicism through a concave,
glass.
The stomach is the greatest pedant.
Spectacles in the darkness-logic with
out feeling.
Trees in the thin forests are strong
and rough; in thick forests, weak and
shapcly. So lonely men are more ro-
bust and unpublished.
The nObler the man. the thicker the
doubt in darkness. The higher the
mountains, the heavier the clouds.
Only in hot, passionate heads, as in
hot countries, precious stones; in cold
countries, iron.
"A book printed only in capitals is
hard to read; 50 life full of Sundays.
Feeling discovers, understanding
recognizes reasons.
The great man gives short notice
OF his coming deed SO the sun. The
more brilliant its beam the moro. sud.
den its setting
The aged sage is in an air-ship high
above the world. Around him all i:
still and dead. Below him lie the
clouds and busy cities. He is fright
ened by his own voice. But around
him is spread all heaven"

A Story by Dumas the Elder.

Dumas the elder often laughed at
English stiffness and reserve. One of
his stories was this:
"One day Victor Hugo and l were
invited to dine with the Duke of Du-
cazes. Among the guests were Lord
and Lady Palmers on--of course this
happened before the February revolu-
ton. AT midnight tea was handed
around. Victor Hugo and | were sit
hing side by side, chatting merrily.
Lord and Lady Palmerston had ar
rived very late, and there had, conse-
quentIy, been no opportunity to iu-
troduce us before dinner. After din
ner, it seems it was forgotten. English
customs, consequently, did not allow
us to be addressed by the ilIustrious
couple. All at once young Decazes
cane up TO us and said.
My dear Dumas, Lord Palmcrston
begs you will leave a chair free be-
tween YOU and Victor Hugo
Il fastened to do as he wished. We
moved away from each other, and
placed chair between us. Thereupon
Lord Palmerston entered. holding the
hand of his wife, led her up to us and
invited her to sit down on the empty
chair-all this without saying q word.
MY lady lie said to his wife,
what time have youP'
"She looked at her watch and an.
swered:
Thirty-iive past 12.'
" We'll, then, said the great min.
lister, remember well that this day at
thirty-tive minutes past II you were
sitting between Alexander Dumas and
Victor Hugo-an honor which you will
probably never enjoy again in your
lifetime
Then he offered his arm again to
his wife, and took her back to her seat
without saying word to us, because
we had not been presented"
