The Solitary Fly.

bIit AI4liotTlpLs
1t is a solitary fly that annoys.
Where there are swarms of flies
they have there time and attention
partly occupied in mutual coversa-
ton, playing tag and other fly d.
versions, but get into a room with
a solitary fly and he will give you
his undivided attention. He will
buzz in your ear, tickle your head
and perform all sorts of maddening
lmpertinences, and when you strike
at him he is away off at the other
end of the room describing circles
in the air and laughing most art
lessly. 1t is the solitary fly that
makes life a burden.

A POINT SCORED.

The New Birmingham Crexas)
Times scores point in favor of the
Coolest settlers With yiant en-
phasis the Times asserts
A long-horn cow and a razor back
hog have more sense than a thor
oughbred COW or hog; and as proof
of the fact, none of the former ever
get killed by a railway train, while
there are over ten thousand of the
thoroughbreds that hunt up speed.
ing train to be ground into sausage
annually. 1t is little strange, but
nevertheless the records of the court
and solemn oaths attest that it is a
fact in every temple of justice, so
called, throughout the State.
The Gonzales Enquirer makes an
additional point, in saying:
The razor backed hog and long
horn COW are specimens of native
development. They are what their
surrounding have made them and
bright examples the fittest shall
survive. Bill Nye, in commenting
on the razor backed hog, said he
never could realize why the South
raised hog that was all legs and
types Of Pharaoh's lean kline, but
upon coming South he could under
stand it-a hog had to be raised so
that he could out run the negro.

KANSAS LAWLESSNESS.

In some portions of Kansas the
farmers are using force to prevent
their property from being sold for
debt. They do not seem to realize
that the course they are pursuing
will drive capital out of their state
and make it impossible for them to
borrow money even at exorbitant
rates OF interest.
According to a dispatch from To-
peka about forty of them in Wash
ington township, jewell county, on
Sunday night drove Oscar Kinles-
perger from a farm which had been
purchased at sherff's sale under a
mortgage foreclosure, and reinstated
Joseph II. Bennett, who had owned
the farm, and who had been elected
by the sheriff.
1t seems that Bennett two years
ago borrowed of young woman, a
school teacher, money with which
to improve his farm. He failed to
pay the interest at the end OF the
first year, and, as the school teacher
couldn't afford to loan her money
without interest, she ordered her
mortgage toreclosed. The farm was
purchased by firm of lawyers.
The farmers Of Washington town
ship concluded that Bennett should
have his farm, notwithstanding the
fact that he failed to pay the mort
gage on It or the interest due on the
mortgage.-Savannah News.

RESTRICT IMMIGRATION.

The question Of supervising and
limiting immigration into the United
States has risen to one of the first
importance in the last few years,
says the Tradesman. The prosper.
ity of the country and the exac-
tons Of despotism in Europe have
combined to cause an enormous in
flow of human trash since 1880.
Social order has been menaced in
many of'the larger cities and crowd
ed manufacturing districts by the
crowds of semi barbarous Huns,
Italians and other nationalities,
many of whom came With no thought
but to gather a small sum of anoney
and return whence they came. They
do not assimilate they seldom even
learn our language they have Meth
err the intelligence or spirit to mas
ter rhe rubin ents of our form of
government. We now are engaged
in looping off few Of the branches
of this poisonous tree by stopping
and turning back the criminals and
paupers who come in the herds OF
! ignorant, brutalized dregs of effete
European monarchles. We mast
60 far beyond this, or there will be
serious trouble. There is no need
to fear that these people may I'M
settle the Government or seriously
change its policy of liberty and fair
play. We shall not be forced into
adopting a despotism in defence Of
civilization but We are doing wrong
when we admit these creatures to
share on equal terms with our own
people the blessings of our system ;
wrong, because they are incapable
OF approaching its benefcence, and
because they remain as denizens
and are not worth as much in any
sense as would be an equal number
of domestic animals. They have
merely enough Of humanity to be a
disturbing element. They must be
shut out.

\ dentist of Moscow is reported
to have discovered method of sup
plying the human mouth with false
teeth which will grow into the gums
as firmly as natural ones, says the
Chicago Times. DR.. Znamensky has
performed several successful opera
tions Oh dogs as well as human be-
ings. The teeth are made of gutta
percha, porcelain or metal. Holes
are made at the root of the false
tooth, and also upward into the
jaw. The tooth is then placed into
the cavity. In a short time a soft
graduated growth finds its way from
the patients jaw into the holes in
the tooth; this growth gradually
hardens and holds the tooth in posi-
ton.

Iowa mine operators are trying
their luck with negro miners.
Strikes have been so frequent oflate
in the coal mines near Ottuma that
the owners have grown tired. But
they are having great deal OF trou-

against the colQred brother. 1t

but the state will 60 overwhelmingly

Cuffee as an abstract principle and
a campaign cry located at great
distance is all we'll enough. But as
near everyday neighbor he is not
regarded as a desirable associate
even in Iowa.

Of what is called luck if the cases

A NATION OF GRUMBLERS.

/
earliest history of the world to the
present time mankind have been dis
satisfied with the laws and the gov
eminent under which they have liv-
ed. Adam and Eve, in the Garden
of Eden, were surrounded with ev-
erythlng that was necessary for their
happiness and comfort, with only
two laws for their guidance: First,
to keep the garden in order; second,
not to eat of the fruit of one tree.
This last law was restraint they
could not stand. They wanted a
change of that clause in the consti-
tuition and got it; hut with that
change came all the burdens and
hardships and tolls to which n an
kind is now subject. Cain and Abel
were brothers, one a tiller of the
soil, the other shepherd. 1t was
the law that they should offer sacri-
fee unto the Lord. Abel brought
OF the first fruits of his hocks, Cain
of the first fruits of the field. Abel's
offering was more acceptable than
that of Cain. Cain was dissatisfied
with this ruling, declared it was
class legislation, and put an end to
AbePs existence. He intended there
should be no more offerings Of the
firstllngs of the flocks. He intended
the Lord should accept the fruits of
the field or nothing, but we find in
after years when Abraham became
the chosen ofGod he was found Of
fering. sacrifice of his focks, the law
became incorporated in the Jewish
code Of laws and was kept dp by
them. Human nature was the same
at the beginning. From the organ
ization of society and governments
to this day there have been kickers
who are not satisfied with anything,
and agitators who have worked to
to get up opposition to everything,
and so it will be to the end of time.
| Tyrants have exercised power, mo
nopolies have existed more or less
from the tine that Joseph and Pha-
roah monopolized the corn trade of
Egypt, and sold it at high prices
to. the starving citizens until the gov
eminent had gotten all the money
and personal property of the people,
and then went still further it car
ried into effect the Henry, George
theory, became sole owner OF the
lands, and after that made all the
people of Egypt, except the priests
pay a rental tax If one-ftth of oil
they made. This was the first in.
stance we have on record OF a corner
in the grain trade.
| People have tried in every age to
get the advantage of each other in
trade. Laban, when he hired Jacob
to work seven years for Rachel, beat
him by palming off his sore-eyed,
unmarkatabe daughter, Leah, on
him, and then made him work sew
en- more years to get the one he first
| contracted for. And in turn when
Laban and Jacob went into partner
ship in the stock-raising business
and it came to division of the prof
its, Jacob got away with all the best
cattle.
Some have been accumulators of
wealth. By industry, good mans
agement and strict attention to bust
ness they have made fortunes. 9th
ers have been profigate in their
habits, having 70 financial capacity,
and have kept poor and so it will
be to the end of time.
