When we attempt to show how far
matter a be divided the brain refuses
to grasp the i~nfnity. A pins head is a
small object. but it is gigantic compared
to some animals of which millions would
occupy n space no larger than the head
of n pin. These tiny animals must con-
tain organs and veins, etc, and those
veins are full of blood globules. Pro
fessor Tyndall informs us that a drop of
blood contains 5000, 900 red globules.
So these enthusiastically small animals
must have millions of globules in their
blood also. Thus we see to what an ex-
tent, far beyond our senses power to
grasp, matter can be divided.
But there is something even more
astonishing than this. 1t is stated that
there are more animals in the milt of a
single Goldfish than there are men in the
world, and that one grain of sand is
larger than 1900, 900 of these animals,
each of which must be possessed of life
germs of an equal amount, which would
grow up as it grew to maturity. This

her but myself when she was moving faster

the horses over small track, 100 meters
III circumference. She turned one lap be-
tore catching the horse in :35: better than
2:2O shot. She could have beaten the Euro
pean record that day over track like stone
road. She has not been such good mare
since that race. but after a four-mile race
two weeks hence she will be let I'D for the
balance of the year.
Our best long distance horses here from
America besides Polly are Judge Davis. Watt,
Captain George, Oracle Is. Misty Morning,

track.

KILLED EIGHT MEN.
A Famous Dueiist's Preparations
for His Own SeIEMurder.

MemDh Commercial.
Alexander K. McClung, of Mississippi,
was perhaps one of the most con-
spicuOus figures in the early days of the
states history. He was contempera
neous with jefferson Davis, S. S. Prem
tiSS and Henry s. Foote, the big brainy
men who have written their names high
upon the scroll of the nations life. He
was a man possessing many admirable
traits Of character, combined with a
high order of intellect and surpass-
ingly fine manners.
His style of dress was immaculate,
and no Knight of the olden time ever bore
himself with prOuder mein than did
Alex McClung. His finely wrought Or
ganiSm was screwed up to the highest
tension all the time, and by reason of
that he became the most famous dueliSt
in American. He was of a friendly,
cornwall nature for all of that. and the
habits of lntemperance and dissipation
fastened themselves about him like
bands of steel.
lie was an unerring shot with pis-
toll, and as many as eight men fell under
his fatal fire upon the field of honor.
With the memory OF his dead and the
COLLINS damned Matched out of the VINE
cup constantly fitting before his gifted
but beSotted mind, life became burden,
and upon the treShold OF his youthful
prince he committed suicide in The city
OF jackson by shooting himself through
the head with dueling pistol.
For this, his last frightful tragedy he
| made extensive and unique prepar-
atlonS. First, on the morning of his
death he had his bath and shave. Then
he clothed his handsome and manly
form In an elegant suit made by his
tailor for that location. He wore a
full-dreSs shirt, a white tie, patent
leather pumps and black hose. He had
dressed himself for burial
On the morning of the tragedy he
placed the board i'll position to perform
the service for which he had purchased
1t, resting one end on his bed and the
other Oh the floor. This done, he threw
himself across the bed. laying his head
upon the board. Everything now being
in readiness. he shot himself through
the brain with dueling pistol. The
blood rushed from his self-inflicted
wound and went coursing down the
plank like mountain brook. leaving
his clothes spotless and unstained.
Upon his writing desk were found
these pathetlc verses, the ink still wet
upon the pages:
Swiftly speed over the waste of time, Spirit
of Death;
In manhood's morn in youthful form. Iwoe
thy breath.
For the faded hues of life have fed like the
dolphins light
And dark are the clouds above my head as
the starless night.
oh, vainly the mariner seeks for rest in the
quiet haven
The sainted pilgrim for the land of the blest
the rest in heaven
The galley slave for the night winds breath
at burning noon.
But more gladly Il spring to thy cold arms
Death. ---3'

Your committee is of the opinion that it
would be injudicious to issue any further

would be better that the progress of said
