A Warning for tho South.

At the Chattanooga banquet to cele.
brate the manufacture of basic steel.
which Mr.. Grover Cleveland declined to
attend, probably because he would have
been obliged to eat from a tin dinner
plate brought into existence by the Nc
Kinley bill, a little incident occurred
which ought to be recorded. Mr.. Nc
Kinlcy was present and made speech.
Turning to Mr.. A. NJ. Shook, the gen
eral manager Of the Southern Iron com.
pany, he asked:
And can you make steel permanently
in Chattanooga" Mr., Shook replied.
1--WE can. unless there be adverse leyis~
latior.'
And if there shall be adverse legislt-
tion," retorted Major Mckinley, with
great energy and felicity. .>you will
know from what source it will come.
In these words Of the great champion
Of Protection is contained q warning
which should be needed by those who
have the interests Of the south at heart.
She cannot afford to sacrifice her great
industrial future to old prejudices and
antiquated political ideas.

A MURDEROUS BLOW.
A Coward Challenges Ills Co-laborer to
 Fight, then Flees,
Gets an Axe, Returns, Slips rpon Him
 and Deals Murderous Blow.

An altercation with serious results occurred last Wednesday three miles from DeYalls Bluff. Two farmers, Mir. Ferry and John Webb, became involved in a dispute about some matter unknown, which developed into heated quarrel. They were in the field planting corn. Perry ban tered Webb for an old-fashioned fist icuff. Webb accepted, and advanced on Perry, but Perry, instead of stand ing his ground, fled as fast as fleet feet could carry him. Webb re- sumed work, little suspecting that Perry would socn return armed with an axe, and stealthily creep upon him from behind to deal him deadly blow, but such was true. Forum ately Webb heard him as he raised the axe to strike. Wheeling around, he threw up his hands, meeting the deadly axe. Three fingers on his left hand were dismembered, his right arm cut, and the outer wall of his abdomen was laid open. Webb fell and Perry fled. Dr. Van Zsndt dressed the wounds of MT. Webb and he will doubtless recover.

GUILTY OF MURDER.

The Forrest City Times says of Jim Dobson, who made an attempt to escape while being tried for mur- der, and was re-captured: He was returned to court and remanded back 10 jail. On being searched, his back was found to be psdded with several thicknesses of paper, and in his cell was found saw made from case knife and two rudely made wooden keys. That he was aided and ad vised to the attempt, there is no doubt. Additional guards in and around the jail have been placed to prevent \ further occurrence.
 On Wednesday the case was sub mitted 10 jury of ten white and two colored men. The evidence being SO conclusive, after sn absence of only ten minutes the jury brought in a verdict Of guilty of murder in the first degree.
 The particulars cf the murder are as follows: On Monday, Sept. 29, 1890, Dobson visited family named Abels, with whom he was on inti- mate terms, and assaulted them for some cause unknown. In the melee ka child was fatally injured and died

"Ah! but this snowfall is a grand thing for the state of Michigan !" he exclaimed as the street car plowed its way down town.
 ''In what respect?" asked a man with wet feet.
 "Great fertilizer, sir. Every pound of snow contains 1-2 per cent. of ammonia. This snow will increase the wheat crop by three bushels to the acre. Fine thing very fine."
 A little man near him was ob- served to take out 8 pencil and make some notes on his cuffs, and twenty minutes later as he dropped off the car at the city hall and met an ac- quaintance he cheerily called out:
 "Ah! But this snow is great thing for Michigan!"
 1T don't see iti" growled the other.
 You don't! Why, it's the greatest fertilizer in the world Every pound of snow contains ? 1-2 per cent. of camphor, and the yield will be increased by two or three bushels per acre.'
 "Oh it will! All right, then, and I won't kick" replied the other, as he moved away to give pointer to some one else.-Detroit Free Press.

Baby Learning to Walk.

People sometimes ask at what age can we seat child in 8 chair; when put him on his legs; how old must he be before we teach him to walk? The answers are easy. He must not be made to sit till he has spontane- ously sat up in his bed and has been able to hold his seat. This some- times happens in the sixth or seventh month, sometimes later. The sit- ting position is not without danger, even when he takes it himself; inn posed prematurely upon him, it tires the backbone, and may interfere with the growth, so the child should never be taught to stand or to walk. That is his affair, not ours. Plsce him on carpet in healthy room or in the open air, and let him play at freedom, roll, try to go ahead on his hands and feet, UT go backward, which he will do more successfully at first; it all gradually strengthens and hardens him. Some day he will manage to get upon his knees, another day to go forward upon them, and then to raise himself up against the chairs. He thus learns to do all he can as fast as he can, and no more.-Popu- lar Science Monthly.

He was standing in front of the Detroit Opera House and surveying the building with seeming interest when pedestrian halted to inquire if he was looking for the box off e. "Well. I dunno" was the reply. "What's going on in there?'
 ''It's 8 regular drama"
 "Anything like circus?"
 "Oh, no. You've been to the theatre, haven't you?n

 "No."
 "Offer anybody s1o to ride buck ing mule?"

 "What's that-side-show or mu- seum?'

Give Our Sailors Half.

Americans have g keen sense of justice. Those of them who cross the ocean frequently must often have felt the injustice residing in the fact that the proceeds of the concerts given in the steamers saloon invaria bly, were transferred to the treasury of British institution, and this, too, although the great maj ority of the passengers were invariably Ameri- cans. It is qualification to record that the White Star Line has made a new departure. It has informed the American Seaman's Friend Society that one-half of the money contrib uted at these entertainments on it's vessels will hereafter De given to American charities for seamen. This is as it should be. American travel CTS are generous as well as just, and they will not object if half of the money thus secured goes to Englspd. The other steamship lines should have no hesitation in following the White Stars example.-New York Tribune.

The Murdered Woman is Unknown and Likewise the murdsrsr-A Duli
 Table Knife Used.

A New York special of the 24th gays: ''Jack, the Ripper'' has come to New York at last. His handiwork is so plain in murder committed this morning in the East River hotel, low resort on the Southwest corner of Catherine and Water streets, that there seems to be no room for doubt. The po- lice admit it. Capt. Richard O'Connor, who is in charge of the K street station and one of Inspector Byrnes' oldest and sharpest detec- lives, said at noon. s'It's Jacks work to a dot"
 Who he is, where he came from and why he murdered the woman who is the victim none knows. The woman's name is not even known. She is known about the neighborhood as one of a lot of half-drunken creatures who hang about bad resorts by the waterside. It was about 1 :45 o'clock last night that man came into the hotel and registered as Knickler and wife, He and the woman took a room or an upper floor and went in at once. Nothing was seen of either of them during the night. No cry or unusual cries were heard. This morning the attendant rapped on the door of the room occupied by the couple. No answer came. He rapped again with no better re- suit, and finally broke the door in. An awful sight met his gaze. On the bed lay the woman in nlire of blood. She had been dead for hours. Her abdomen had been fairly ripped open with 8 dull broken table knife that lay in blood. The viscera had been cut, and from appearances 8 part was missing. The man had escaped. A very imperfect description of him was given to the police aud they went to work on it with the utmost secrecy and speed. A little leaked out that the murderer was man about 32 years old and shabbily dressed.
