LOST HIS TAUMB.

Floyd williams Now Eas Fut Four
Fingers on H R ght Hand.
Floyd Williams and another negro had
fight yesterday afternoon on Farm street,
near Bay, and as result Williams is minus
his right thumb. The other combatant.
finding he was being worsted, drew a razor
and made a slash at Williams throat. The
latter threw up his hand to ward off the
blow, and it was a lucky thing for him that
he did, for although his thumb was cut
completely off. it is probable that had he
not sacrificed it there would have been a
Job for the coroner. The negro, after cut
ting off Williams thumb, made his escape.
Dr. Sheftall dressed the wound.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer
HAMDEN JUNCTION, o., April 3.-During
the past few days there has been lowering
about this place flock of blackbirds, num-
bering nearly 100, whose presence is made
very remarkable from the fact that our
citizens have dubbed them the flying CALI
ope." Among their number are just two
which have hesn designated as song
birds, and these two hlackbirds seem
to take the lead in producing a
melody that makes the weIkin ring,
their little throats fairly swelling
as the notes are blended in ng, while the
remainder of the flock chirp merry accom-
pa iment. The cold snap of Tuesday caused
them to desert this section, but yesterday
morning the pretty warblers were back
ag in. The incident is a very strange one,
as it is the first instance known where black
birds ensconced among the leafess branches
of the northern oak cope in sweetness of
song with the mocBing bird, whose dulcet
notes make more picturesque and beautiful
the southland's green growing magnolia
groves,

THE OK AND THE ASS.
An OK and an Ass dwelt together in
the same Field. and many of the ami
mails went to them to Inquire about the
Weather. When the OK was asked
whether the winter was to be open or
vigorous he Invariably replied:
II can not say for Certain just now
Please call Again
The Ass. on the Contrary. was
Prompt to reply:
This is going to be a very. very
open winter, and buds will start in
February" Or.
This is going to be the Coolest win
ter we have had for twenty years. and
We shall get no Spring before June. ="
When Winter was over it was always
found that the ASS had missed it, while
the Ok had gained further Reputation
for wi sdom by refusing to express an
opinion. It thus came About that tho
Ass was spoken Of in Ridicule and
Contempt.

Consul General Crawford, at St.
Petersburg, has transmitted to the de-
partment of state an important report
upon the details and workings upon a
system now in practice in Russia IRE
sembling certain plans incorporated in
the platform of the farmers Alliance
in this country of making advances on
the farmers grain stored in warcbous-
es or delivered to officials OF the rail-
ways Of the country. The salient
points of the system briefly stated are
as follows: Advances on grain may be
made by any railway company on ac-
count of the imperial bank of Russia
authorized by the minister of finance.
They must not exceed 60 per cent. of
the value of the grain at the nearest
market place, except in the cases of
loans for SIX weeks or less, when an so
per cent. advance may be obtained.
The usual interest is 6 per cent. paya-
ble in advance, with further small
charges on account Of sinking fund
and commissions to railroads. The
loans range from six months to one
year, and If not repaid at their expira-
tion the grain is sold BY the railroad
company at auction. The grain may
also be sold if in danger of deteriora-
tion. This scheme went into effect on
June IA, 1888, and at the present day
is generally adopted throughout the
country. and the business carried on
under it on very large scale l have
also to add the scheme gives great sat
isfaction to farmers, very many of
whom declare it has been an essential
feature of successful farming in Rus

indispensablcs of an EDITORS desk,
comes TO hand in the Columbia Daily

each slip bears a short paragraph per
tanning to cycling or some kindred sub
ject. At the bottom Of each leaf is a
blank for memoranda. each leaf being
accessible at any time. The stand is

of sheet metal finished in ivory black,
and Is very compact. At the close OF
the year the stand will be available fol

The next important political event
will be the election of speaker of the
incoming house of representatives.
Mills should have been chosen without
serious opposition, and would unques-
tionably have been but for his ostenta-
tious uneasiness. By the blanderine
of himself and friends he has succeed
cd in antagonizing the friends Of silver
by unnecessarily and in an exceedingly
impolitic manner belittling the latter,
and the result is . counter rallying
around the Crisp standard and his prob
able election. Mr.. Mills campaign has
been one of self-sufhciency not at all
in accord with the American idea,
whether in politics, business or society.
