Surprising the World.

A California exchange editor had begun tc
think lying was played out in the Pacific slope
press, says the Elmira telegraph, until he en-
countered the following item:
A couple of weeks ago a Mono county farmer
had 900 barrels Of popcorn in a barn. The
barn caught fire and the air was filed with
dense showers of popcorn. This extraordinary
exhibition caused aa old mare in the adioining
field TO think that winter was at hand So she
lay down under three feet of popcorn and froze
to death.
Eureka" he murmured, the country is
safe. Afterward followed in quick success
sion, the ver1table accounts that during the pa
week have enllvened the monotony of the coun-
try crop reports, and divided the honors of
public attention with the grasshopper OF the
san Joaquin and San Jose scale. There was the
winters woman, whose turkeys got drunk on
branded cherries thrown out as waste, and who,
thinking them dead, plucked those misguided
birds, as many another booty bird has been
piucked, and was filled with horror, some time
later, to see them recovered from their SPREE
walking about clad only in their own manifest
embarrassment.
There petrified girl from France. found
after many years with her feet grown fast 10
the solid rock, of which she had become a part,
and who still maintains a stony silence as to
how she came SO. There was the man who
crawled into hollow tree TO escape a storm
and who was wedRed tight by the swelling of
the wood upon being wet. There was the tree
cut by loggers up on the Columbia, the trunk
OF which was found TO be so fun of bears and
which was headed up and rolled down to town
with its overload OF Ephraim in good shape.
In fact, enough evidence passed before the ex-
cnange editor searching eyes to demonstrate
clearly that the journalistic Ananias of the Pa
cldc coast is doing business at the old stand.

Within a very short time the Ge,rgia

well be proud. The people take a profound
interest in ii. and are confident that its good

The institution has been organised with

which they can make reasonable objection.

not confined by state lines, has visited, and

favorable auspices, aud with every promise
Of success.
The college will accommodate $50 stu

lege of sharing its advantages in proportion
to its population. It is certain that this

value. AS the financial condition of the
state improves the college, it is reasonable
TO expect, will be enlarged, or else other
colleges of the same kind will be estab-

The college has four departments, viz,
the normal, the industrial, the collegiate
and the domestic. The purpose of the first
is TO prepare girls for teachers, the second
to make them acquainted with such indus

third to furnish higher grade of scholar

Touching the renewed announcement Of the

money article says: 'Itls all very we'll to make
these restrictions when they are lived up to-
That is lust where the esteemed LEDGER is
wrong 1t is all very well TO make these restric-
tons when they arenot lived up to; for then
they expose the utter falsity of ihe pretexts on
which they are made. But It is all wrong when
they are lived up to- for then an illegal extortion
is fastened on the the consumers of coal.

process says that a bushel of corn can be
made to produce 200 pounds Of soap. As a

that statement sounds rather remark
able. Just what the process is the narrator
loes not explain. But the only plausible
way apparent is to sell the corn and buy the
zap. And it would be mighty poor soap
1t that.

AS the political lines are drawn up for the
coming contest in Louisiana the third party
is mot in it." At least it is nowhere visible
to the naked eye. Nor will the farmers
alliance put ticket in the field to opp ose
the democratic nominees. Louisiana farmers
have manifestly not forgotten those
troublous times when the democratic solid
ranks at tire polls were their only salvation
from the organized outrages Of political
plunderers, and they don't intend to requits
those who stood by them then by ground
less and unprovoked hostility now. Louisi-
ana farmers are setting a wise precedent in
merely commencing their alliance president
to the untrammeled and impartial con-
sideration of the Forthcoming stats demo-
cratic convention. and their example in
party fealty is well worthy of general
emulation.

Soldiers Should Bave a show

Unless his efforts signally fail Gov
Pattison intends to make a fine military
display with the $500 Pennsylvania troops
at the Chicago worlds fair without expense
to the soldiery. That is considerable and
kind Of the governor and only fair to the
troops. They do great deal of gratuitous
work for the protection of the state, and
should not be neglected when there is a
chance for them to have a good time, and
at the same time reflect credit upon their
state
Everyone who has ever seen the Pennsyl-
vauia troops knows that they constitute the
most solidly real-lookiug body of citizen
soldiers in the country, aud the governor Is
pride in them is perfec ly excusable.
Other states would 90 well to build up so
substantial body of disciplined and we'll
drilled soldiers to exhibit. 1t could be done
by the same sort of liberal treatment Of
them. But in no other way.
Placing himself subject to the trammels
Of military discipline and regular duty and
sub ject to the call of the governor of his
state for field duty as the volunteer soldier
does involves q great deal.
Volunteers are usually poor men. Ere.
| quently they can i'll afford even the time
they give to the protection and amusement
| of the public. Therefore they should be
encouraged in every possible way.
Georgia's soldiers would make hand
some display at the Columbian exposition
that would be creditable to the state. They
! ought to have a chance.
AS $500 900 or so is to be expended by the
worlds fair committee on military dis
play there is no apparent reason why the
Georgia soldiery should not be provided for,
if the matter is promptly attended to by
| those authorized to act in such affairs.
