Chcse Six Months in Iail.

At Atlanta, Ga, w. NJ. Hathcock has
gone to Jail of his own accord and he
win sit serenely behind grated doors for
the next six months. 1t is the alterna
tive he chose to get out of q lawsuit.
The story back ef Mf. Eaths3csS' 5 inpffsdfi-
fnent Is part of the court records and is well
known. Mr.. Hathcock is one of the best
known citizens of Campbell county. Ga, aid
owns considerable property. Besides splendid
farm he has an interest in a large mercantile
establishment, and owns two or three mills.
Some time last .feaf a ehafSe Fas Brought
against him by Mr.. A. p Morgan, of Atlanta.
The charge was cheating and swindlng. The
case was tried in the city court and Hathcock
was found guilty. He was sentenced to pay
fine OF 81 900 or six months imprisonment In
the county jail. Mr.. Hathcock, through his
attorneys, carried the case to the supreme
court. This tribunal reviewed the case, and
after doing affirmed the decision OF the lower
court Two alternatives were placed before Mr.
Hathcock-to lay in Jail six months or pay ST.,
600. Mr.. Hathcock viewed it in the light of
business. He could easily raise the 81 900, but
he reasoned: Il could not make 81 900 In six
months; the best way out of 1t is to GO to jail
He adopted this plan as a matter of money and
went to Jail. He takes the difficulty very philo-
sophicslly and will be content to endure con-
fnement and the separation from his family to
save 8, 600.

Cotton No Inneer King.

New YORK, Jan. 15.-speHlihg OF the
great drop In cotton, Henry Clews said:
When cotton was king (so- o-calledj the largest
crop produced was just prior to the war; 4,0O0,-
900 bales was the biggest yield up to that period
Last year the crop was s;5o9,OO0 bales. This crop
more than doubles the best crop when slavery
existed, and cotton as king has been dethroned
by corn, which now rules as king of crops. Un-
der free labor the cotton crop has more than
doubled in its yearly product that produced by
slavery, and the price has been almost cut in
two besides The only hope for the south is to
keep the yield hereafter dawn to about 7 100000
bales, and till the soil for other products to
take the place of cotton. Then, and not until
then, can the price of cotton be controlled
and kept up to a paying basis, and the south
again return TO prosperity. The south is now
almost bankrupt by an overproduction of
their one big crop of cotton, due to the low
price now for the stuff and no market for the
surplus. The difference te the south in dollars
and cents as between lie and &c is equal to at
least $160,000000. The advice of the Farmers
Alliance, urging cotton growers to hold back
their product for higher prices, has entailed a
loss of probably &c pound to those who were
so Influenced. which is equal to $l27, ,Q00; 600.
Similar advice was more recently given to the
producers Of wheat in the west, notwithstand-
ing that the price at the time was 81. 10 bushel
in Chicago. The difference between that price
and the present would be equal to $120. 600 600
loss on the crop.

The Law of Promissory Notes.

There are five essential elements to the

1t must be payable in money that is,
gold, silver or greenbacks, possibly, also,
in United States currency, not in any
kind of merchandise. Thus note pay

from any mine" is invalid. But par

1t must be paid at a certain specified
time-a time certain to arrive. A note

years of age" is not good, for he may not

Apropos of longevity, one of the Vien-
nese papers notes some remarkable in
stances, beginning with the Greek philos-
opher Democritus, who lived to be one
hundred and nine years. Two actors,
Lucias and Galerias, lived so long that
the first enjoyed dramatic career of an
entire century, the other returned ninety
years after his debut to salute Pompey
from the stage. Anacreon, Pindar, Soph-
ocles, Bacon, Kepler, Newton, Voltaire.
Bodmer, Haller, Euler, Gleiner, and
other celebrated poets and thinkers,
reached the age of ninety years. One
the 18th century, one hundred and
twenty-nine years old; at one hundred,
he still could swim across the widest
rivers. A certain Barre of Shropshire,
who attained the age of one hundred
and fifty-two years and nine months,
was the subject of nine kings of England.
This lively old person at the age of one
hundred and twenty married his second
wife. He was nearly rivalled by Dane
named Drakeberg who married at the
discreet age of one hundred and eleven,
and, surviving his bride of sixty, took
another wife later, to cheer his declining
years. He died at one hundred and
forty-siX. The Prussian soldier Mittel-
stedt was in all the campaigns of Fred
erick l., Frederick William l., and Fred
erick the Great. He fought in seventeen
battles, was often wounded, but lived to
see his one hundred and tenth anniver-

A True story of the Elder Booth.

Many years ago the elder Booth was
filling an engagement at the Howard
Athenaum in Boston, then under the
management of Tom Ford. During
Booths engagement Ford had a rural
friend call upon him, and after talking
over matters pertaining to the town
from which they both came, Ford, to
keep up his end, asked his friend:
"Have you ever been to theater?"
"No; but | have read Pilgrims Pro-
gress, Millions Paradise Lost, and the
Book of Martyrs.
"Would you like to go to the theater
to-night?"
"Yes, would"
Ford told his friend that a previous
engagement would prevent his going
with him that night, but that he would
procure him good seat in the parquet,
and come around and meet him at the
close of the performance. when he would
go to his hotel with him.
Ford was accordingly on hand to ac-
company his friend to the hotel. The
play had been Othello, with the elder
Booth as the Moor. Ford asked his
friend how lie liked the play.
"Well, liked it first-rate, but, giving
Ford punch in the ribs with his elbow,
"look here, Tom, you have got one Mig
ger in the play, but don't see but he
plays his part as aceu as any Of them. -"
Ford was at first somewhat taken
aback at this unconscious testimony tc
the faithfulness of the great tragedian's
representation of the dusky Moor, but
later told it to few appreciative friends

THE GERMAN ARMY.


| Its Composition $4,000 StronS-The
Time Each Man Must Serve.
! The entire land forces of the empire
form union army under the command,
in war and in peace, of the Emperor. who
has the power and whose duty it is to
see to it that every part of the army is
complete in numbers and in fighting trim
and that uniformity is established and
preserved as to organization and forma-
ton, armament and equipment. The
Emperor also regulates, by way of impe-
rial legislation, the active strength,
formation and distribution of the several
contingents composing the imperial
army.
| In conformity with the treaty of fed
Grafton of November %, 1870, the above
cited provisions do not apply to Bavaria.
Provisions as to the number of men
actually kept under arms and forming
the peace army are contained in the mil
itary law of the empire of May ?, 1874,
which has been repeatedly amended in
the course of time. By its original pro-
visions the peace strength was placed, up
to December 81, 1881, at 401, $50 non
commissioned officers and men, not in
cluding officers and one year volunteers.
This number was increased after April 1,
1881, to 1924; after April l, 1887, to
46S, 400; and after October 1, 1891, to
496, 9S3 men. Adding to these $4,000
officers, surgeons and bureau officials,
and also 1000 one year volunteers. we
have total strength of $4,000, which is
still 30, 900 less than the force which the
French republic deems absolutely neces-
sary to keep constantly under arms.
Every German is liable to service, and
in the performance of this duty no SUBJ
stitute is allowed. Exempt from COM
puIsory service are only the members of
the reigning or formerly sovereign
houses, who, however, without ex-
ception, deem it proper to enter the
army.
The liability to service commences
with the completion of the seventeenth
year, and ends with the forty, fifth year
of mans life. During his liability to
service every German has to serve in the
ranks, generally from the twentieth year
of his life up to the 3lst of March of that
calendar year in hich he attains the
age of thirty-nine. Unqualified for duty
are those not capable of bearing arms or
undergoing the hardships connected
With the military profession; all GRIM
inals are excluded from the honor of be-
longing to the army.
During the time a man belongs to the
army he serves three years in the ranks,
four in the reserve, then he belongs for
five years to the first levy of the Land
wehr, and finally up to his 45th year in
the Landsturm.-H Monthly.

A NIGHT OF AWFUL CALAMITY.
A Graphic Picture of the Great Chicago
Fire,

|
! Fire.
There was not much clamor of men.
women, or children. 1t is probable that
the aN fulness of the situation made the
mind silent rather than noisy. Personal
friends said to me-: "The city is gone. :"
or No power can save u.s." or "All is
lost;" but beyond such CALCULATIONS few
were the words to be heard. Quite a
stream of vehicles and persons was
moving northward, but the movement
did not seem that of panic, but rather
that of an orderly retreat. The guests
were issuing from the fremont and Sher-
man Hotels. The banging of trunks was
little more violent than usual, and the
vehicles into which trunks were going
showed that the exodus of guests was
informal; and yet, not much was said by
the man with the team or the man with
the trunk. The fire was raging in the
business district, and its population at
midnight was not great. The scene was
not that of families fleeing for life with
mother calling for child and child crying
for parent. The ruin was advancing i'll
the great commercial blocks, whose clerks
and business $eads We're perhaps miles
| distant from their counters and desks.
1t was q common event to see one OF two
men come down from bank or office
and unload their arms OF basket into
either an express wagon or q we'll
equipped carriage aud then hasten away
Where there was distrust of vault the
valuable contents were extracted and
headed for some place not yet doomed.
All beyond was a furnace. Here, and
little after midnight, the fact that the
city was doomed, that my house was
doomed, and that tens of thousands of
persons would be homeless and penniless
in few hours, was fully realized. Be-
fore me lay in one mass of fire district
nearly a mile long and fully four miles
wide; and under wind which was
almost hurricane, this red army was
advancing. AT intervals, like minute
guns, came the boom Of some falling
wall. I turned to go home. The tum-
bling buildings made a solemn sound like
the pulsations of volcano, OF the heavy
artillery of some field of battle.-From

Chicago Fire." by Rev. David Swing, in
Scribner.
