HERMIT GRABS AND ANEMoSEs.

hungry than dine on hermit seasoned
with sea anemonc. Now, all wise her
NIT crabs know of this, and, fearing
they may meet some of their hungry
foes, take care to provide themselves,
if possible, with one of these friendly
ancmoncS.
~ famous English naturalist wished
to see what the crab would do if the
ancmonc were removed, and by an in
genious contrivancc managed to sepa-
rate them. The hermit strongly OBJ
jcctcd to this separation, and, to the
naturalist's great surprise, took the
anemonc up in his claws and held it
close to his stolen shell for about ten
minutes, wheni was as firmly fixed there
as before. Again and again the ancm-
one was displaced, and as many times
it was recovered and put in place by the
crab.
OF course you know that the hermit
has no shell of his own, rs other crabs
have, but takes the shell of n snail or
some other mollusl1 to live in. For va
rious reasons. generally on account of
his growth, the hermit is often forced
to move into new quarters; and it has
been suggested that perhaps he carries
his ancmonc with him to transfer to
his new home.
There is one species of crab which car
rics two ancmoncs, one in each claw.
Still another species is always found in
shells covered with n brilliantly colorcd
sponge; and rs fishes do not like spongcs
any better than sea anemones, these
crabs are admirably protected.-Mere-
dith Nugent, in ST. Nicholas.

A ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.
Boyd Stewart and His Cousin
Made Man and Wife.

Quite romantic marriage occurred
here yesterday between Boyd Stewart,

and his cousin, Miss Kate Currie Har
rover, /, rmerly Of Glasgow, Scotland,
but now of Salem, where She has been
keeping house for her uncle, James
Stewart, father of the bridegroom
furnace. 1t appears that Miss Har-
rover has been an orphan since she was
quite small and lived with her uncle in
Scotland, where She and her husband as
children grew up.
She and her uncle afterward came to
this county, whilst her cousin roved the
high sea for several years, but true to
the love OF his boyish days. he at last
gave up the seas and, coming to Salem
day or two ago, Friday morning with
the young lady and her father, went
first to.the clerks office, where a license
was obtained, and then around to the
home of Rev. John S. Hutchinson, who
is as ready and willing on all occasions
to help the cause of Cupid as old Father
Burroughs of Bristol. The good minis
ter ushered the bridal party into his
study and there in the presence of
Officer Johnson, Mifilin Ballard and W.
~. Ballard (master Of ceremonies) the
twain were made one.
After the marriage was over the party
adjourned to Hotel Lucerne where
good healths" were pledged and then
the sailor and his bride took the omnibus
for their home near the furnace, where
the bridegroom has obtained work.

isurkitt Wasn't Candidate For The
Nomination.
When Capt. Burkitt became convinc-
ed that an effort would be made to
nominate him at the Experimentation
for congress, he sent the following let
ter to his friend. Senator Winter, who
was one Of the delegates:
My DEAR FRIEND Recent events
satisfy me that there will be an effort
on the part of some friends at Eupora
to nominate me for Congress. This,
need not assure you, Is without Soiici-
tation on my part, and if my name
should appear before the convention,
| desire you to say to the body that
while | am not insensible of the honor
that would be conferred on me by an
endorsement from such patriotic men
as will compose that convention, be
cause of disordered business affairs. |
sincerely hope that some other standard
bearer will be selected. AS you well
know ! never had any ambition to be
a congressman, and the prospect of a
triumphant election, flattering as it IS,
is not sufficient to tempt me to change
my mind and voluntarily endure the Ia
Dor and expense of the campaign be
fore us, only to attain a position, do
not covet. We have many good men in
the district, who would represent our
cause more ably and with greater sat
isfaction, perhaps, to the people, and I
do not think it probable the convention
will nominate any one who cannot be
elected. Please make this statement
for me before the bailoting begins, and
assure the delegation, that my pen and
voice will be used to the utmost of my
ability in behalf af our oppressed, tax
ridden people, Weaver and Field and
the Peoples party nominee from the
old Fourth.
Yours truly and fraternally.

than those who use his ability and tact
as the cats-paw to haul out hot chest

this brilliant and dashing orator of
Alabama, Mr.. Ferguson, of Birming-
ham, has proposed an to Aliren-
dec Bradley Bill for the Legislature
to enact that the rights of Jones and
Kolb may be determined by speedy
trial when the Legislature meets. 1t
is good bill, but it nowhere provides
for the only inquiry that ought to be
made-''Who fixed the ballot box in
Birmingham" Who did the job and
how in ballast $500 negro votes in
Dallas and 5000 in jefferson and 5000
in Montgomery were "countedn for
Jones. Will Mr.. Ferguson's Commits
sion go behind these returns and find
out who did the job, and how he did

Another campaign fiction started by
some mendacious Democrat in this
State is that Dr.. j. B. Cranfill, the
Prohibition candidate for Vice Presi-
dent who has just passed through Mis-
sissippi on canvassing tour, is the
husband of Mrs. Garfield, who said at
"a National Teachers Convention at
Nashville a few years ago that she
would rejoice to see the day come in
the South when ''black heels would
be standing on white necks." The
similarity of names gives plausible
coloring to the lie, which, as all in
formed persons know, is all there is
in it. But, shades of Gen. jackson!

for something to arouse sectional and

Mr.. T. Dabney Marshall, the apos-

spend September making speeches in
Illinois and Indiana for the Demo-

National Committee. Mr.. Marshall
is the Democrat who was charged to
his face on the floor of the last Demo-
cratic State Convention by Capt. c. J.
Searles, of Nieksburg, with having
bargained and sold his Prohibition
principles for the pitiful little Office Of

Hon. II. ID. Money was nominated
for Congress by the Democratic dis
trict convention Of the 4th district af
ter three days dead lock. After
serving three terms i'll Congress, Mr..
Money dropped out few years ago,
and did not show up in Mississippi
politics again until he came down to
Mississippi from Washington lastyear
to champion the cause of Senator
George. 1t was thought by many at
the time of his retirement from Con-
gress that he declined to stand for re-
election because he feared he could
not reconcile to the satisfaction of a
majority of his constituents the fact
that he had supported a land grant
railroad scheme in the interest of the
great railroad magnate, c. p. Hunt
ington, and aftcrward secured n $50,
90 loan from Mr.. Huntington. Pre-
sumably he thinks he can do this now.
BE all this as it may, he will doubt
less have the issue to meet, as Capt.
Burkitt, his opponent, is in possession
of all the facts, and is not the man to
hesitate to lay them before the peo-
pie, just as they are, if it draws forth
the execreations of the .'trooly loyal
from one end of the State to the other
