Mike Declined.

A few years ago, a bully known as big Nike
was the terror Of Southern Wise onsiu, said
Patrick O'Farrell at the Lindell to the Detroit
Tribune. big Mike was monarch of all he
surveyed and his rights there were none to dis
pute. GAINESVILLE Beloit and Waukesna were
mis- favorite haunts He was always spelling
for fig 1t, and, as he stood six feet and was
put up like hercules. nobody cared to accom-
modate him, and, like Arkansaw in Mark
TWain's Oertrue tale. he travelled chiefly on his
bluff and bad looks. One night Mike was in a
Waukesha saloon kept by German with the
patriotic name Of Yankee. Mike was hungry
for trouble He insulLed everybody present,
imposed on the bartender and made himself a
disagreeabe nuisance generally.
presently a tall, Raunt, cOnsumptive-lookng
chap drifted 10. He looked as though II good
stiff breeze would blow him away He lounged
up to the bar and, in a voice sweet and defaren-
tial as that of a bashful school girl, called for
brandy aud soda. Mike swaggeredu up 10 him
an announced his Intention TO drink at the
strangers expense. The latter paid no atten-
ton to him, swallowed his fire-water and turned
away. Nike became abusive. He followed him
about the room, cursing him and making pugu-
lstc demonstrations.

Complain about Postal Cards.

HALcYoNDALE. GA, Aug. 1O.-Permit
me through your columns to call attention
to matter that causes considerable annoy
ance to a great many Of our people who
communicate messages by means of postal
cards IL appears to be regulation of the
postofiice department that all hrst-class
mail matter shall have the name o. Office
and date of receipt at the Office Of destina-
tion stamped plainly on the back thereof.
AS this requirement. is complied with, it is
an annoyance to the receiver Of the mes
sages written on postal cards. In
many instances the dating stamp
is heavily charged with ink, and the matter
upon which the stamp is placed is entirely
destroyed, especially when a small pen is
used and light strokes Of penmanship made
in forming the letters, thus making 1t nee
essary to guess at enough to make the mes
sage intelligent. In some cases this cannot
be done. think il this matter was shown
to the authorities, with its attending incon-
veniences and disappointmSnts, the order OF
the postoffice department would be revoked
or the officials instructed as to their duty In
the premises. 1t is certainly not the inten-
ton OF the department that mail matter OF
any kind shall be 50 mutIlated as to destroy
the mission it is intended to fill. 5.

greater. 1t attacked New Orleans with
some violence.
Our health and quarantine officials are re-
luctant TO discuss the cholera at this tine.
They are making preparations for It's
coming, but are not prepared to publish
their plans. One of these officials said that
there was no cause for any alarm in this
city, based upon experiences Of the past,
for the reason that since the last epidemic
the health and quarantine departments have
been thoroughly and effectively Organized
and equipped with offensive and defensive
weapons not possessed by those who
grappled with former epidemics.
1T is unlikely" he said, that any con-
siderable number of cases will pass quarau-
tine, even though every ship that comes
here is infected, and the organization of the
city board of he Alth is such that do not for
a moment doubt its power to grapple with
the disease in town. IL is safe to say that,
even if cholera does get into town, it will
not spread outside of a small dis riot on the
east side 1t is true that our population is
bigger now than in 1858, but it is also true
that the city is infinitely improved in clean
illness and sanitation"

What a man was Phineas I'll What au
enterprise Every body caught on. Not a
newspaper but was filled with elevated ar
sicles on natural history, particularly re-
specting the gorilla. The excitement
spread. Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington caught the contagion, sendiug
their quotas TO visit the great African
lnuus eoaudatus.
The greatest scientist OF his age, Prof.
Agassiz, with party OF friends, came on
from Washington to inspect the marvellous
creature. They. like any other visitors to
to museum, paid their little % cents each,
and then marched to the quarters Of the
wonder.
When Agassiz, who was unknown to Fer
guson, eyed the animal, a look of amaze
ment passed over his face.
"What do yon call that animal!' he asked
carefully scrutinizing the brute.
"a gorilla" proudly replied the majestic
Ferguson.
Ia Southern Africa, sir"
A smile fitted over Agassiz's face as he
astounded those around him by quietly re-
marking, "Why, sir q, gorillas have no tails. "
MOI" asked the uuabashed Ferguson.
"But this one has, which makes him, suoh
being the general rule, all the more a ouri-
osity."
With hearty laugh the professor re-
marked to his companions: Gentlemen,
we are sold. This is another Of Barnum's
- humbugs."
They filed out OF the museum without
noticing that Barnum vas a concealed wit
ness of the entire incident
The expose settled the gorilla. BarDum
wrote letter which was generally pub
lished acknowledging the trick. He claimed
to have been imposed upon by the parties
from whom he purchased on the other side
OF the Atlantic.
There is still field for the Snowman in
this direction. for live gorilla has never
been in captivity aud has, therefore, never
been exhibited.

THE RETURN OF MIR. MILLS.

Roger q. Mills is about to smoothe
his wrinkled front, emerge from Corsi-
canan shades and make brave effort to
attend to his legislative duties. The
cause of this sudden change of program
is naturally matter of speculation.
When Mr. Mills hurried South in furry
of temper, it was pretty generally under
stood that he had set himself about q
job of senatorial fence building that
would keep him busy for some time. Mr..
Mills gave color to this opinion by his
letters to Wise of Virginia asking him to
organize the committee ON interstate and
foreign commerce and to act as its
chairman. But the fence building seems
to have proved loves labor lost; the tim
bers are rotten and will not hold the
cattle he expected to corral.
Notice has been served on the Sage of
Corsicana, according to the belief of
many, that If he stays in Texas election
eering, while the rival candidates for
the vacancy, Senator Chiffon and Repre-
sentative Culberson, are in Washington
looking after the interests of their con-
stituents. the game is as good as up for
him. Texas has told him to stop pouting,
go back TO school, take his thrashing and
be n good boy. Mills has obeyed, but it
is not by any means certain that he will
reap the reward of his virtue. Culber-
son is slated for the senatorship and Mills
is supposed to be considering seriously
the wisdom of staying in the fight or of
drawing out before the special session of
the Legislature, with view to trying it
again at the end of Senator Coke's term.
Ii il should come to this, then indeed
has Mills lighted on evil days. Patience
ON monument smiling at grief is the
only simile that is in any way adequate
to his present situation.

Free traders are making merry over
two facts; that the increase in savings
bank deposits in Massachusetts, last year
was only 1898, ,44S.30, an enormous
sum but still five millions less than the
year before and that in New York the
total of deposits is said to have actually
decreased. From these the free trader,
who is never so happy as when demon
strating that the country is going to the
demnition bowwows, argues that we
are financially in bad way, and that
the "robber tariff has done it ALL
The argument is lame, however. For
if the tariff be responsible for an admit
ted falling off in savings bank de-
posits in few Northeastern States, how
does it happen that while the manufacture
ing States continue to show gratifying
increases, the great importing State of
New York is the only one to show de-
crease of deposits? The free traders
argument is capable of being turned
against himself.
So far as Massachusetts, is concerned
and the same is true of Rhode Island
and other New England States-the
disastrous records of the short-term
benefit orders for the year explain where
some of the money has gone. Silly
people by the thousand allured by the
prospect of drawing out $1,000 for
thirty-six monthly payments of s.
each--somc OF the offers were as absurd
as that--put their money into wildcat
schemes and are now mourning its
loss. If there is not larger increase in
savings bank deposits next year IL will
be because one lesson for fools is not
enough.
OF course there are benefit orders,
many of them, which are perfectly
solvent and which, though likely TO be
harmed by the antics Of rascals wearing
n similar garb. will live long and prosper
And this brings us to speak of New
York. The undoubtcd cause Of the de-
creased deposits there is one not dis
crediiable 20 tho State. II is the marvel

The Telegram, in its zeal for strangling
improvements, on Wednesday last made
an urgent appeal to the business men OF
Providence TO attend zen masse' the
hearing ON the guaranteeing OF the
Springfield bonds.
Well, the Telegram ought to be salts
fed. The citizens did attend both zen
masse' and by proxy. One man was
there to oppose the guarantee. The "by
proxy" portion We're also present on
papers in favor of the guarantee, and
what papers they were! They contained
the names of almost every business firm
of importance in the city. Every whole
sale grocery firm in Providence favored
the guarantee. Sixty-six other firms,
beginning with Calender, McAuslan q

as that of Charles Fletcher -
men whose combined signatures
could command over 100000, 600 of in

stand for business success, integrity, in

Perhaps the Telegram will enjoy looking
them over and then indulging in solil-
oquy over its accurate acquaintance
with the business sentiment of Provi-
dence
