CLERICAL FANATICS.

The two great forensic pugiIists,
DR.. E. r. Carswell, jr,, and DIR, Arm
istead, decided some two weeks ago
that Baptist and Methodist minis
ter, respectively, must fight, and the
arena determined upon was the Meth>
odist church at Douglasville. The
discussion began about the Both. OF
last month, and is still 10 progress.
DIR. Carswells side of the contest has
been suspended on account Of sick,
ness. He hopes, however, to be able
to resume soon.
The contest will last perhaps for
some time, and:these gentlemen will
likely hammer at each other and at
each others church, disputing about
baptism, calyanism, arminian-
ism, and such like, until
they have lost considerable self
respect and rooted more sectarianism
in the hearts of their hearers than
they themselves ever had grace, and
displace much of the brotherly feel
ing that existed between the denoni-
nations they represent.

ships would be OF no benefit in contest
with any naval power. AS clements of
d lighting force, either for defense or
olfense, they could render no service.
OF the new steel ships, sixteen have
been commissioned OF these, the Mi
antonomah is all iron double -turreted

have atloat. Four are small gunboats.
Eight are protected cruisers. One is
known as a dynamite cruiser, and is still

as yet unarmed because the department
has not found a torpedo satisfying all re-

dtion to the actual fighting force.
Thus our present naval strength
resolves itself into one armored

cruisers, and four gunboats. The

REMARKABLE CRONIES.
Six Old Men of Mobile, Ala, and Theh
Peculiar Habits.

Six Old Men of Mobile, Ala, and Theh
Peculiar Habits.
Very curious people inhabit this cor
ner of the civilized world, and perhaps
among the most curious were the six
peculiar old men of Mobile, says an
Alabama writer. Two of these old men
were great cronies. They loved to be
in company the one with the other, and
they never failed to meet once each
day during the later years of their
lives; but their daily meetings were
curious. Uncle John sat each evening
by his freside reading book or paper,
and about o'clock Uncle William came
into the room, gave a glance at John,
and then, picking up a book or paper
from the table, sat gravely down in his
chair opposite John, and began read
ing. No word was said. The two old
men read silently for two or more
hours, sometimes as late as II o'clock,
when William folded his paper or laid
down his book, and in silence as before,
took his hat and departed. These old
men were never known to exchange a
word during their meetings.
There were two other old cronies in
Mobile. These had the habit of walk
ing out together every afternoon at
5 o'clock. They lived in the same
street. Their promenade took them to
e-.river front, the wharves of which
were then, as now, a famous place
whereon Mobilians took the air. "
Departing they were in the best of
humor, chatting pleasantly of the top
les of the day; but returning they were
invariably in the worst temper imagin-
able, abusing each other for every
fault possible, and calling each other
every name short of pickpocket and
horsethief Stopping at their several
front doors, they would shake their
fists at each other and solemnly de-
live would they condescend to notice
each other. The anger was genuine,
and the language very warm. BY the
next afternoon, however, the sky had
cleared and the old gentlemen appeared
promptly at the o'clock hour, and,
saluting, would begin their walk and
their talk, which always ended in the
quarrel above described
There were yet two other men of
Mobile. They would be old if they
were now alive, but by the time they
came into view they were hardly be-
yond the middle age. AS chums' they
had early in life taken room together
down on ST. Francis street; but, I'M
fortunately, during the first month of
their occupancy of their rooms they
quarreled over some trivial matter and
resolved to cease speaking. Neither
of them would consent to vacate the
premises. They had taken the room
together, and each one thought he had
as good right to possession as the
other; therefore, ont of pure obstinacy,
neither would bulge. So they lived
together, and whenever the one had
any instructions to impart or request
to make of the other, the instruction or
request was reduced to writing" and
The written sheet placed on the center
table in the room, where later the per-
son addressed found it and left a
written reply in its place. This pecu-
liar association lasted thirty -four
years, when finally one of the silent
men found partner in life and
went to housekeeping. The other
man vacated the room the very next
day,
