The Brookhaven leader., 1891-07-16

At a regular meeting of ITardtimes
Alliance held Saturday, July II, 1891 :,
the following preamble and resolu-
tions were unanimously adopted
Whereas, An. ugly revelation has
come to us through the columns
of the BRoOKHAvEN LEADER concern
ing the official conduct of our present
County Superintendent of Education;
and,
Whereas, 1t has burst upon us like
a thunderbOlt from a clOudless sky !;
and.
Whereas, we see in this revelation
several very grave OffenSes commit
ted by our County Superintendent, the
first of which is his offering to advO-
cate the school books of certain
publishing company for remunera-
ton from said company in violation
of the laws of the State, and his pro-
pOsal of political tricks and deals for
personal advantage; therefore, be it
Resolved, That while we have al
ways looked upon him as a rising star
of Lincoln county, and it is with
a feeling of sadness this action is ia
ken. we nevertheless most heartily
condemn his official conduct, and we
feel it duty we owe ourselves and
our fellow citizens and to the welfare
of the public, that we withhold our
support from Mr. Smith until he vim
dicates himself, and accord it to some
one more worthy than he.
Resolved, That we feel thankful
that we have in Bro. b. Il. Hobbs one
who will be found laboring for the
right and cOndemning the wrong.
Resolved, That we do approve of his
manly course in exposing the official
errors of Mr.. Ed. Smith.
Resolved, That we will support no
man for Office who is guilty of the
charges brought against Mr.. Smith.
Resolved, That we keep diligent
watch for V. b. Watts friend, I'M
known to Mr.. Hobbs, and if found
out and candidate for office, resOlv-
ed that we snow him under so deep
that the sun of four summers will not
thaw him out.

Early in January of the present year,
a woodman engaged in chopping some
Of the monster oaks in the northern
part Of the great "Black Forest, Ger
many AID who had built a fire against
a large dead log preparatory to partall-
ing Of his midday NEAL was surprised
to see a serpent of gigantic proportions
crawl from the log as soon as the rot
ten wood had got well warmed through.
The day was bitter cold and the snake
only made few yards over the frozen
ground until his convolutions became
smaller and smaller, until he finally
ceased to wriggle and quietly coiled up
near a large pile Of brush. The sturdy
German chopper, who had been more
surprised than scared, waited until the
creature had become thoroughly be-
numbed with the cold and then ap-
preached and dispatched him with his
axe Measurements showed the shiny
creature to be q feet inches in length
and nearly 10 inches through the body
In the middle. But the most curious
part of the story is yet to be
tOlQ: just DdCh OF inc immense mead,
which was eleven inches in length
and almost as broad little gold ring
had been put through the skin. 1t was
in the form Of two rings rather than
one, being shaped not unlike a figure
s. One part of the ring was through
the skin while the other was through
hole in "a small copper coin bearing
date of 1872. One side of the coin was
perfectly smooth, with the exception
OF these letters and figures, which had
evidently been cut on it with a pocket
knife, the workmanship being very
rough Louis Krutzer b. G. O.,
1881" Some of the oldest inhabitants
of the Black Forest remember hear
ing their parents tell Of ''Krutzer the
serpent charmer, and they all unite
In declaring that this gigantic serpent
was formerly the property of the old
"charmer, and that it was at leastll5
years old when killed by the wood
chopper on that cole January day.

Is to be one OF the attractions at the
Worlds fair. 1t is haunted by the
ghost Of the late chiettain and his sup
erstitous followers, who avoid it with
terror, viii really be glad to get rid Of
II. But what makes it an object OF
dread to the redskins will constitute
one OF the principal attractions at the
fair. There are a great many people
for whom ghosts and haunted houses
have a facinating charm, and . is not
often that any one has chance to see
so distinguished ghost as that of the
late Sitting Bull. If satisfactory ar
engagements can be made for a nightly
appearance of the interesting spectre
the cabin is certain TO be q strange at
traction for thousands Of lovers Of the
mysterious and the occult.

What is the Talmudo rho Talmud
Is the title applied to the Mishnah and
Gemara, two collections Of jewish
traditions and decisions relative to the
law as given by Moses. The Mishnah
Is the earliest collection of tradition
airy matter in regard to the law, and
the Gemara is an elucidatiOn OF tho
BIishuah text, consisting of a running
commentary, explanations and opin-
ions given by renowned rabbinical
scholars. The comments are frequent
" I'm the form of IN argument, reasons
pro and con being advanced and in
stances cited in support of the posi-
tons assumed by the imaginary con-
testauts. There are two Ta}muds or
commentaries; that OF Jerusalem and
that of Babylon, the latter being re-
garded as more complete and satisfac-
tory. The compilation OF the Talmud
was begun, it is said, about the time
OF the return from the Babylonish cap
tivity, B. C. $50, and was completed in
the second or third century after
Christ, It is, therefore, a body Of
Jewish thought and doctrine, covering
a period of coo or zoo years.

A dog was recently actually tried

trial began,
A man swore that the prisoner had
bitten him. and he therefore wanted

that be had provoked the prisoner by

AUSTRALIAN CITIES.
Their Advantages and Dangers From
Many Points


The prevailing state socialism Is fill
ing the larger towns with good things
excellent museums, splendid libra
ries, free reading parks, botan-
ical gardens, manifold places of inter
est or amusement. These are for the
multitude, and the multitude in Aus
tralia is unquestionably becoming
southern in its taste for excitement and
amusements. For the rich are. music,
the theater, and clubs as expensive and
almost as luxurious as those Of Pail
Mall or Piccadilly. For the children
Of all, excellent schools and UNIVERSE
ties So rich and poor alike crowds
into towns, which become large with
out becoming crowded, SO wide is the
room for expansion, so perfect the ap-
planes of tram, rail and boat for the
suburban residence. Thus the cities
have acquired not only an excess Of
population, but also q social and politi-
cal dominance which is neither British
nor American, and for which only a
continental parallel can be found. To
an outside observer the resulting con-
dition of things seems artificial
and not without grave dangers,
but curiously interesting, as il
Illustrating, new forms Of national
growth, possibly incidental to extreme
democratic development The concern
tratlOn OF population has enabled the
artisan class to secure unequaled pres
ent advantages, but there is jIstifca-
ton for the view entertained by many
Australians that it will sap the founda~
tons Of permanent prosperity unless a
check can be found. The grayest
problem before Australia Is apparently
bow to get a sufficient agricultural
population to stay upon the land. The
temper Of the country is not favorable
TO the patient industry Of the farm,
with it remote results and slow ac-
emulation. Within the last few years
the curious phenomenon has OCCASION
ally presented itself Of serious dearth
OF labor in country places, while In
the towns masses of unemployed were
besieging the government offices with
demands for relief works. Sent
sometimes at the government expense,
TO the rural districts, the 'unemploy-
ed soon drift back to the mingled
wants and delights Of city life.-Cen-

a SACRED ROCK.
Situated in Behistun, Persia, and Co~er-
ed With Inscriptions.

Behistun, or Baghistau. Is ruined
city Of Persia noted for a precipitous
rock in It's vicinity one side of which
rises perpendicular to the height OF
l, 200 feet and bears number Of re-
markable inscriptions. 1t was anciently
called Mount Bagistanus aud is now
known as the Sacred Rock of Behis-
tun. The lines inscribed on the rock
are in cuneiform characters. and were
engraved by order Of the Persian king.
Darius Hystaspis about 500 years be-
fore Christ They are in three Ian
guages, Persian, Babylonic aud Scyth-
ic, and are on the perpendicular face
OF the rock, 800 feet from the ground.
Examination shows that great labor
was expended in making the face OF
the rock perfectly smooth befc he
inscriptions were put on. Places
where the great stone wall happened
TO be uneven or otherwise defective
were made smooth by inserting pieces
of stones. which were held in place
with molten lead. After the inscrip-
tions had been put on a coating OF
Silva " ID 5plCdu DNtA ll- anu hbWs
after lapse OF twenty-four centuries,
this silicious covering is harder than
the face OF the rock itself; the curious
characters Of the inscription shining
from beneath the polished surface as
II it were but the work Of yesterday.
James Watson Dawson and Sir Henry
Rawlinson have translated the major
portion Of the inscription According
TO these two oriental scholars il gives
the genealogy of Darirs Hystaspls for
eight generations; rCcounts inc PROV
inces of his empire and gives his
tory Of his daring achievements Be
sides the letters and characters this
great stone book OF history IS well
Illustrated. One OF these curious ef-
forts Of the carly artist represents
Darius armed with a bow, his loot up
on the PROSTATE figure of man, while
nine others chained together by their
necks stand humbly before him.
Taken all in all this Behistun inscrip-
zion is one Of the most remarkable
works OF art left by the ancient ma
lions.

In the early days only few schol-
ars, priests and clerks knew how to
write. 1t was then customary to sign
a document by smeariug the hand with
ink and impressing it upon the paper,
accompanied by the words. Witness
my hand. Afterwards the seal was
introduced as a substitute Tor the hand
mark. and was used with the words
above quoted, the two forming the sig
nature. This is the origin OF the ex-
preston as used in modern documents.
