The Bolivar bulletin. (Bolivar, Tenn.) 1888-1946, 1891-03-20

A bill Is now pending before
the legislature which seeks to
change the line between Fayette
and Hardeman counties by giving
the latter several hundred acres
of our dirt. We are "agin" the
bill and our people are "agin' the
bill. FaYette County's lines are
all right and its people are satisfied.
We don't want any more territory
and don't want to lose any. Our
representatives in the senate and
house will voice their constituents
when they vote against the bill.
1t is not needed, and the people
adjoining the proposed "cut off "
are bitterly opposed to the change.

was interesting from the time the first

the last person out.
1t was game of ball between the local
players and the Moline nine, who proved
themselves to be very clever gentlemen
indeed with the ball. but they could not

perfect. He held the visitors down in
splendid shape and only one or two of
them could solve his curves Rosentbal

was ''beaut' for the first two innings
and when he struck out such heavy hit

The game was a remarkably exciting

The Nice Taste of Cannibals.

Mr.. Lumholtz writes "The Austria
lians are cannibals. A fallen foe, be it
man, woman or child, is eaten as the
choicest delicacy; they know no greater
luxury than the flesh of black man.
There are superstitious notions connected
with cannibalism, and though they have
no idols and no form of Divine worship,
they seem to fear an evil being who seems
to haunt them, but of whom their
notions are very vague. of supreme
good Being they have no conception
whatever, nor do they believe in any ex-
istence after death"
The blacks do not like to eat white
people, whose flesh, they say, has a salt
taste; but the very thought of black
human flesh, which they call talgoro,
makes their eyes sparkle. The natives
do not, as rule, eat persons of their
own tribe, though there are instances to
the contrary; the blacks south of the
Gulf of Carpentaria, it is said, do not kill
persons for the sake of eating them, but
the women eat those who die natural
death; near Moreton Bay, also, the dead
are eaten, and by their own relatives.
The reason why the white mans flesh is
held in disgust arises, apparently, from
the fact of his eating SO much salt beef.
The flesh of the Chinese, whose food con-
sists largely of rice and other vegetables,
is much priced. 1t is said that far north
in Queensland ten Cinnamon were de-
voured at one dinner. But during the
whole time Mr.. Lumholtz spent on Her
bert River only two blacks were killed
and eaten.
The uncivilived Australian native is
usually sound and healthy and not much
troubled with sickness, with the excep-
ton of skin diseases, which he gets from
the white man; but when the Australian
becomes "civilized" and wear clothes he
becomes more liable to illness; he re-

The Two Whitehouse Watchmen.

These two watchers are among the
oldest employees of the White House at
Washington, and one of them is closely
associated, in humble way, with one of
the most exciting periods in its history.
W. S. Lewis was one of the White House
doorkeepers in the time of Lincoln, and
each night, between 10:30 and IL
o'clock during the war period, he acted
as the escort of the President when he
went from the Executive Mansion to the
War Department to get the latest news
of the conflict before going to bed.
Lewis left the White House and went on
the city police force, where he remained
for many years. About twelve years
he came back to the White House service,
where he has been ever since. T. f.
Pendel, the other-night doorkeeper, has
been employed in the White House for
twenty-six years. These two me-, know
the face of every man of promineL,S5 in
public life, and they can spot a crank at
the other end of the avenue by gaslight.
They open any kilograms which come to
the Executive Mansion after midnight,
and determine whether it is advisable to
to show them to the President or not.
There is no one at the Executive Man
sion at night who can act for the Presi-
dent. Only the members of his family
and the domestic employees of his house
hold sleep at the White House. So if
anything demanding immediate attention
should be delivered at the Executive
Mansion after midnight, the President
would be aroused from his sleep to at
tend to it. 1t is seldom that a telegram
of any kind is delivered at the Executive
Mansion between midnight and day
break, for the local manager of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company has in
structicns to hold all messages which are
not of the utmost Importance until morn
ing. Aud it may not occur once in six
months that the President is called from
his bed to read late dispatch. -NeO

Plants seryieeable for Salads.

n Henri de Vilmorin, President of
the Botanical Society of France, recent
ly delivered lecture on salads, which is
full of hints for housewives. He began
by speaking of the nutritive value of
salads, due to potash salts, which are
usually eliminated from vegetables in
the process of cooking, and said that
salad is even more desirable in winter
than in summer, being e preventive of
rheumatism and biliousness. He emu
merated the following plants which are
used in France: The leaves of lettuce,
corn-salad, common chicory, barbe de
capucin, curled and Batavian endives,
dandelion, green, blanched and half
blanched; watercresses, purslane, in small
quantities blanched satisfy tops, of a
pleasant nutty flavor; Witloef, or Brus-
sells chicory; the roots of celeriac, or
round-rooted celery; the flowers of mas
turtium and Yucca, the fruit of capsi-
cum and tomato, and in the South of
France, rocket, picridium and Spanish
onions. Various herbs are added to
French salad to flavor or garnish it, such
as chervil, chives, shallot and borage.
In addition many boiled vegetables are
dressed with vinegar and oil.-Ne10
