LONDON, Feb. 16.-There was an in
teresting and successful test Monday, in
Portsmouth harbor, of the new Sims
Edison electrical torpedo. The tril
took place under the direction of the
admiralty officials, and representatives of
most of the European powers were
present. The naval attaches of France,
Germany, Russia, Austria, Italy, Spain
and Turkey were among. those who witt
messed the experiment, and the United
States was represented by Messrs. Post

in Stokes bay from the steamer Drudge.

the Armstrong;, who are understood to
be interested in the invention. Mr.. SiE-s
personally operated the torpedo. 1t was

Rather Vague.

A rumor is afoat in Napoleon that par.
takes of such vagueness that we are hardly
justified in even calling it rumor. nssssgss
1t is claimed that a woman named Payne
residing in Section 6, Monroe township, has
for some time manifested signs of insanity
brought on by domestic cares. She has
often made threats of taking her life but
nothing was thought of it until last Tuesday
when note was found stating that when
the writing should be read, she would be
dead in Section 6. AS the story goes dill
gent search has failed to reveal her where
abouts.

We Know You Not, and Our Name
Is Not Bob.

The editor of the Napoleon NORTH
WEST is noted for his modesty. When
schoolboys, he and the writer we're
inseparable companions, probably
because we both stood in such awe of
"the gals.n A pair of mischievous
black eyes would stampede us quicker
than "big dog" One day Bob was
sent to neighbor Shaw's to inquire
about some straw for filling beds, and
of course the writer went with him.
Mr.. Shaw was the father of six hateful
girls, that would rather laugh at a
fellow than not, and when we arrived
they were ALI seated at dinner. |
lodged away around thecorner, while
Bob edged carefully in at the door,
and, with scared look stammered--
| N"Mr. Straw, can ycu LEI me have
enough Shaw to fill my be1?s
"Well, r." said the old gentle
mtn, glancing around the circle of
astonished faces. "Isuppose so. There
are six besides the old woman. But
I'd rather you would leave her, if the
girls will be enough. Take them all,
God bless you"
| Perfect shrieks of laughter went up
from these mean things and R. took
to his heels, followed by the writer
and cries from the old man to come
back and he'd throw in the old
woman too."-Ashtaoula Journal.

Where Woman Haa the Advantage.

Whatever disadvantages a woman
lawyer may be under in the practice OF
her profession, she has certain compen-
Bating advantages which her brothers at
the bar can never enjoy. A little Incl
dent in the chambers part of the supreme
court the other day will illustrate this
point. 1t was Monday, which is always
the busiest day of the week in this
branch of the court. There was an I'M
usually long calendar this day, and al
though it was almost O'clock the court
room was still crowded with fifty or
sixty lawyers, who had been waiting i'm
patiently since II o'clock to argue their
motions or to get tex parte" orders
signed. There was an unusually large
pile of these orders on the judges desk
waiting to be signed, because his honor
had been SO busy that he had been un-
able to attend to them.
Amodest looking, neatly dressed young
woman came into the courtroom with
some legal papers in her hand. She
walked up to the rail, while the clerk
quickly came forward, all attention.
He took the papers which she, carried
and handed them to the judge immedi-
ately, while the court officers hustled
around and brought her chair. The
arguments of the legal lights were
stopped, his honor took the papers,
glanced over them quickly and put
some hieroglyphics, which stood for his
signature, at the bottom of them, the
clerk handed the documents back to the
young woman, and in less than five
minutes after she entered the court
room the woman lawyer had accom-
plished her object and gone back to hel
office.
Just as she was disappearing through
the door q lawyers clerk came up to the
rail.
HAS the judge signed that order
which | handed up this morning.? ht
asked.
"No," was the reply, she will not sigr
any orders before or 0 o'clock. New

IN FAVOR OF THE BICYCLE.
It Promotes Health, Develops Muscle and
Increases Breathing Power.

From the New York Ledger.l
Among the main reasons which BIZ
cycle riders give for their choice of loco
motion are the following: -z-
Bicycling is a popular, clean, health
full sport, and a wheel is good company
The wheel is time saving machine,
and in this busy age time is money.
Exercise on the wheel is better than
walking, because the weight Of the
body is principally supported by the
saddle. Strength is economized and
the exertion Of force distributed more
generally throughout the muscles of
the legs, arms and body, and equal re-
suits in progress reached by far less
e1ertion, or proportionately greater re-
suits by the same exertion. In other
words, the wheelmaa rides ten miles
in an hour with less fatigue than he
would walk four in the same time, be-
cause in walking almost all the mus
cular exertion is thrown on the legs. :
Few people breathe properly. They
use only the upper portion of the lungs
and leave large residuun Of impure
air. Bicycle riding causes thorough
respiration and tones up the general
circulation. 1t is particularly bene-
fetal to men and women of s-dentary
habits, and gives them such exhilar-
ating pleasure that they do not feel
the labor involved.

While Governor Tillman was

day he ran against some tough custom
ers. There came along a bronzed-
face farmer who walked up and slapped
him on the shoulder. "Well Governor,
Inever saw you before, and to be candid
I must say you are hard favored
man."
OF course the Governor felt bad. But
he was ready. He turned to a man
with an empty sleeve who stood by
and remarked: "Here is man who
won't agree with YOU"
"Well I guess I WILL" was the
prompt reply.
"Oh, yes, you live hele in town, don't
you"
mo, sir, live in the country
"Run a store?" asked Governor Till
man.
mo, plow every day with this one
hand"
The Governor looked surprised, but
he was determined not to be outdone,
80 he asked: my friend, how many
Sheppard men at your precinct?"

Tillman Soys Ono OF His Lieuteaants 10 q
"Coat-Tail svinger" Because he Re-
fused to Do his Bidding.

Mr.. George w. Sullivan writes the
Greenville News as follows:
3. In a conversation recently at Belton,
in the presence Of the Rev. F. Auld, &.
w. McGee and the proprietor of the
hotel there, between Prof. John G.
Clinkscales and myself, asked Pro-
fessor Clinkscsles why w. D. Mayfeld
was not canvassing the State with the
other candidates, and he replied that
he did not like Governor Tillman, and
gave the following as his reasons: That
Governor Tiliman went into Mr.. May
fields Office and asked him to allow
MIN CTilimanl to name all the appoin-
tees that he (MayfeldD had the right
to appoint all over the State; that
Mr.. Mayfield told him it was asking
too much; that the people had elected
him to discharge the duties Of Super
intendent Of Education and he expected
to do it. ..s-':
That Tillman replied he was "noth-
ing but id coat.tail swinger" any
way. and ought never to have been put
on the ticket. Professor Chnkscales
was assisting Mr.. May6eld in his Office
at the time. Professor Clinkscaies
stated the same thing to others parties
in Williamson and if called upon will
substantiate the matter.
Here is the Governor of the State,
wanting, in addition to other powers,
the right te appoint partisan men to
control the education Of the children
Of the State, in order to keep himself in
Office! Why not make him dictator
and do away With the courts, the
Legislature and all the State and coun-
ty Offices? Power! Power! Power! give
it all to me, is his cry! How long will
free people stand this thing?
