'sWhen I'm on the road, said trav-
cling man at the Sherman house, 81
make study of the different manners
in which different people bid their
friends good-by. A business man comes
on the car with his wife, gets seat for
her, puts her bundles in the rack,
presses her hand, and perchance gives
her a matter of fact kiss and is gone,
and the whole has been done so quietly
that no one has taken any notice of it. A
young lady accompanies her young lady
friend to the train. After going from
one end of the car to the other and
back again they find a seat that will
answer. The young lady is going up
the road ten miles and will be gone till
the next day. Well, good-by, ILL.,
says one 4 do hate to say good-by,'
says the other. 4 wish you were going
with me- oh, so do l. We'll, good
by sGood-by.'
''Then they kiss. Hope you'll have
nice trip. $50 do l. 'Ishal be lone

What's wrong, dear?' 4 forgot the

is starting, so good-by.' Another kiss.
'Good-by.' And thus they go on as long
as the train will wait for them.
.sThen there is the lovers good-by. 1t
is very different from any other. In
many good-bys there is much more said
than is meant, but the lovers mean much
more than they say. The sly look that
flashes from - to eye has Il whole world
of meaning in it for them. And the
good-by clasp of their hands telegraphs
whole volumes of affection from heart
to heart And when they kiss-well,
there isn't a person in the car but would
like to steal taste of their bliss. And
sometimes there are amusing things
occur in the hurry attending the good
by salutations. A train was on stopped
at an Iowa town one day and an honest
country couple entered the car. Their
appearance and manner indicated that
they were unaccustomed to travelling.

Japanese Bells.

Bells were in use in China, Japan and
India long before they were known in
Europe. In the space fronting the
temples of Nikko, Japan, there are enor-
nous bells of exquisite purity of sound,
too heavy to be suspended in any tower
which this people build, and SO they are
swung on low frames of stout timber,
the bell being only three or four feet
from the ground.
They are rung by means OF battering
rams, made of long joists of hard wood,
suspended so as to swing by the united
aid of many human hands. They give

MAIL DELIVERED TO FARMERS.
A Scheme to Come up Before the Next Con-
gress.

New YORK, Oct. 21.-An organized
effort in under way among the farmers
to secure from congress free mail de-
livery in country towns. The Farmers
Alliance, the Patrons of Husbandry and
other orders are canvassing the matter.
Letters are being written to the con-
gressmen in favor Of the object, and
petitions to congress for free delivery
are being circulated in many parts of
the country. The farmers assert that
the daily mail delivery to their door
will add perfectly to the money value
OF their farms, and will be worth still
more because it will keep them in touch
with the markets and outside world,
and rob farm life Of its isolation and
monotony. The farmers are writing to
the agricultural press that this conven-
ience would enable them quite gener-
ally to take the daily papers, as well as
to subscribe for local papers more liber-
ally. In the American Agriculturist
for November, Postm aster General
Wanamaker states definitely for the
first time that experiments by the post
office department for free delivery in
the farming districts show that the in
crease of revenue more than pays all
increased expense. He believes that
universal free delivery would, therefore,
be self-sustaining.

al suggestion from the politicians. The
politicians are not for Cleveland in the
South, but the people are with him
heart and soul. Not only is this true
IN my section, but l find that the same
sentiment exists elsewhere, notably in
the West. During a recent visit to
Chicago I met Gen. John C. Black, a
leading public official sn Illinois. Gen.
eral Black is not particularly friendly
to Cleveland, but he said that if
Cleveland was renominated he believed
he would carry Illinois, Iowa, Wiscon-
sin and Indiana. The Vest is for
Cleveland as strong as the South, and
if, through bis instrumentality, the
Democrats win the election in New
York this year nothing can keep the
nomination from him"

Going to New York, be came across

with that of the fair unknown essay

Mr.. Reed wrote to her asking to be
allowed to correspond. She answered no
letters of this kind, having received
many. Mr.. Reed was persistent, and
wrote a second letter, and enclosed en-
dorsements, and Miss Perry then con-
sented to correspond with her unknown
admirer. Later Mr.. Feed visited her.
A second visit ended in promise to
be his wife. To-day he arrived in this

DADE CITY, FLA, October 20.-Th
State Farmers Alliance, Of Florida
met in annual session here at noon to
day. No business Of Importance wa
transacted, most Of the afternoon being
taken up in disposing Of contestins

five counties in the State are without

DADE CITY. Fla, October 2l.-The

President Rogers appointed at the COM

vention and delivered his annual ad-
dress. In this he referred sharply to

chiefly from the admission to member
ship of persons who gain admittance
for the purpose Of office or political in-
fuence. The sub-treasury scheme was
warmly endorsed. The president closed
his address as follows:
"It is a fact that the partisan press
his distorted the truth in reference to
the Ocala platform and sub.treasury
plan. In our State the Democratic
press is wont to read every man out of
the party advocates the Oca!a platform
and the sub-treasury plan. The result
of such an onslaught upon the Alliance
has caused many Of our members to
advocate third party. This condition
of affairs is to be deplored. Myjudg-
ment is that the Ocala platform con-
tains not a syllable which cannot
readily he endorsed by every true De-
mocrat throughout the country"
The reports of the State secretary
and other officers followed the delivery
of the annual address. United States
Senator Pasco is a delegate from the
Jefferson County Alliance, and there is
strong opposition to seating him. The
opposition is based upon the theory
that he is a lawyer and not farmer.
He is duly accredited, however, and
the president says be will be seated,

in the Mediterranean, by the way, and
I shall be able to put him in immedi-

The Austrian minister did not know
what to make Of this. But he felt that
Americans were not proper persons to
punish as examples, and: after delaying
day OF two, released the young med
ical student.
With the outbreak of the civil war
Capt. Ingraham resigned, and in
March, 1861, entered the Confederate
service. He was then So years old, and
was assigned first to the navy yard at
Pensacola and then toCharlestcn, where
he distinguished himself by break
ing the blockade. Since the war he
had lived very quietly in his birthplace,
Charleston. He was married to a grand
daughter of Henry Laurens and John
Randolph, and through his wife was
connected with some of the greatest
officers in the British navy.

my life behind iron bars and stone
walls, and it would only be very
short time that I would have on this

A REFORM VICTORY.
Charleston Reformers Elect Their Mayor
and Fifteen Aldermen.

CHARLESTON, S. c., October 2l.-
The missing ballot box in the fourth
ward has turned up and the official
count of ballots is finished. There
were two reform managers and one
regular in these wards and the regular
refused to count the ballots because be
said his reform co1Jreres tried to bull
doze him. The commissioners took
charge at a. M, and to-day completed
the count.

den, J. a. Smythe, A. J. Riley and H.

first district, being defeated by 1872
majority. On the board of aldermen
are seven Germans, two Irishmen and

total vote polled was about 3,4OO out of
total cluo list of 6,571. The regulars
failed to poll their full strength by
about 1900 votes and the reformers by
about $40. The regulars take their de-
feat cheerfully and there is no talk of a
bolt.

dose of laudanum was Eugene R. Pra-
ther.
He breathed his last about S O'Clock
in the afternoon, all efforts by physi-
clans to save his life being in vain.
Prather was printer by trade and
!. came to Atlanta two weeks ago from
Williamson, S. c., where his mother,
the matron OF. the WILLIAMSON Female
College, resides.
It is thought that he came to 1t
lanta to enter the Kelley institute to be
cured of the Ehiskey habit; that he
got on a spree and spent the money
which had been given him to pay his
expenses at the institute.
A telegram was found in his pocket
in which be asked A. B. Williams,
editor Of the Greenville, S. c., News:
"Is there any help for me? Send to the
Kelley institute" This, probably, was
a request for more money. Before the
telegram was sent, despair came and
suicide followed.
An inquest was held by the coroner
this morning and a verdict of suicide
rendered.
