He Pulled His Hair.

The Kentucky Legislature is devel-
oping into a regular prize ring Sat
urday in the house bill appropria-
ting money to public schools was I'M
der discussion. Representative Coop
er, of Marion county, got the floor
and denounced the public school sys-
TEN, declaring they were Highways
to hell, the ruination of virtue ana
the purveyors of iniquity."
Speaker Pro. Tenn. Cox called the
irate representative sharply to order
and told him he should not speak SO.
At this Cooper rushed down the aisle,
grabbed the speaker by the hair and
tried to pull him from the seat. There
was wild confusion. Cooper was es-
corted to the door and told to get out
and he went.

sanford, state oeologIst Of Tenneasee,

Stafford, State Geologlst of Tennessee,
the next.
Addresses were made by Governor
Taylor and other distinguished men.
The central event of the day was the
brief inaugural address of Hon. II. i
Kimball, Chief Executive Manager of
this enterprise. In his epigrammatic
style he showed that this event was
the key to unlock the immense treas
ures of the whole Sequatchee Valley,
and he portrayed in glowing terms the
vast industrial development that
would result In the establishment of a
manufacturing center at this point
that would rival the most noted places
of the kind in Great Britain and Ger
many.
1t Is well-known in this section that
Mr.. Kimball invariably accomplishes
far more than he promises; therefore
his brief address has had most magi-
cal effect, and it is the universal opin-
ion here that the christening sale of
city lots at KIMBALL, June 10th and
18th, will be, in all respects, the most
successful of any yet held, and that the
purchasers will chiefly be genuine set
tiers who have absolute faith in the
enterprise.

A "Reminiscences of Thackeray.

him "in my minds eye" perfectly but to
describe him with pen and ink is not easy
He is tall and broad shouldered, and had a
complexion like Horace Greeley's, pure
milk and roses, such as girl might envy
His hair was very white his nose as fiat as
any negro's Gt had been broken, believe),
and he wore large spectacles pushed close
against his eyes Neither in appearance
nor in manner did he make favorable inn

him using this expression frequently, "a

ladies', an offense which, in America in
those days, almost assumed the proportions
of a crime; and this was Thackeray In

English Fear o. Yankee Ingenuity.

The distrust of things American which
obtained in England until not so very long
ago was well illustrated in recent speech
of Z. H. johnson. He was describing an
exhibition of the Edison electric light,
which was about to take place at the Crys-
tai palace, England, and for which he had
made great preparations. "a large party
of prominent people were invited and had
begun to arrive was going to turn on
1000 lamps and astonish the Britishers.
Finally everything was ready, and the
switch was turned, but no light. hurried
down to the engine room to see what the
trouble was and found that a plug had
blown out Of the boiler, which, Of course,
stopped everything. They don't do things
in as great hurry over there as we do
over here, and the English engineer said
repairs could not be made before next
morning. But / insisted on repairs at
once, and the result was that in a short
time my efforts were successful, and the
lights gave forth their brilliancy. But, }"
concluded Mr.. johnson, there wasn't a
man in all England that didn't believe that
it was Yankee trick. "-London Letter.

DO You Know IA Good CIgarg

One great trouble is that so many smok-
ers do not know what they want They
ask for Havana cigars, and declare that
they want them, but, as IA fact, there are
many of them that do not want anything
of the kind was in store the other day
when well known man came in and asked
for a box of fine Havana cigars, saying
price was no object so long as he was suit
ed. The dealer showed him Havanas at 25
cents each and Is cents each; Sumatra and
Havana at 10 cents each, and finally good
Havana filler, with Connecticut wrapper.
This suited him, he paid twice its value
and was content. If the ordinary price had
been asked of him he would have declared
them poor. and that the dealer had no fine
stock ON hand. This is an absolute fact;
the man wanted sweet, mild smoke, and
he got it and was suited.-Pittshurg Dis

ST. JOHNS, N. F. May 20. -The greatest
excitement prevails here, the two last
French outrages on the fishing popula-
ton having driven the people almost to
desperation. Along the coast known as
the French shore, which extends from
Cape st. John to Cape Ray, the fishing
and farming population are arming, and
agents have arrived here to purchase
arms and ammunition to supply the
crews of the Newfoundland fishing YES

Unless the British government takes
immediate action to recind the recent

torial right for forty miles inland on the
coast named, it is not improbable that
the whole colony will be in open revolt.

Running Ladies' Dresses.
NEW YORK, May 26.-The police have
captured an individual who had gained
: for himself the titlel of Jack the Ink
Singer" His mania has been to throw
ink on the dresses of ladies as they
walked along the streets. He has been
operating both in this city and Brook
Ign, and during past few months has
ruiped many valuable dresses. What
he gained by his strange action is not
apparent, and the presumption is that
the man is a monomaniac A quantity
of ink was found in his pockets when ar
rested, and he was evidently preparing
to throw the fluid over the dress of d
lady whom he was following. He gave
his name as John Connors, of No. 44t
West Fifty second street, and is an EN-
ploye of the Ninth street car stable. He
is about 33 years of age.
