sua1Jowa at Sea.

Two days after leaving Port Said,
Egypt, we had some very unsettled
weather. Looking southwark | OBJ
served what appeared to be small
black cloud rising and coming steadily
toward our steamer. When | looked
again few minutes later. instead Of
seeing the cloud | saw some hundreds
of swallows. They few around our
steamer several times, as though unde-
cided whether to stay until the storm
passed. At last, just before dark, sew
eral Of them alighted on the stayrim Of
our main funnel, which was soon one
black mass of birds The rain came
down in torrents, and it was pitiful to
see those frail creatures struggling with
the wind and rain
Those of them that could not find q
roosting place soon commenced to fall
on deck quite helpless. picked up all
those that fell on the bridgedeck and
lodged them in the chartrocm. Those
birds that fell on the foredeck were
sheltered in the forecastle by the crew.
The next day came in bright and clear
with light westerly breeze, and all the
swallows took fight just at sunrise, fly
ing in a northwesterly direction. The
captive birds were soon set free, and
they followed in the wake Of the others
/ may say that ali the birds we had were
able to fly except one, and it died during
the day Several dead ones We're found
on the decks at daylight. These birds
had beautiful plu.lage, and l fancy they
looked rather smaller than the swallows
have seen in England. The captive
birds bad golden brown feathers just
above and below the beak, and white

blush tinge; wings and tail brown, and

How Sir Gavan Duffy Looked.

Mrs. Carlyle, in her journal" thus
describes Sir Charles Gavan Duffy as he
looked in 1914 during visit he paid to
"the sage of Chelsea" ''Mr. Duffy quite
took my husbands fancy, and mine also
to a certain extent With the coarsest
of human faces, decidedly as like a
horses as mans, he is one Of the people
that should get to think beautiful"
Sir Charles Gavan Duffy himself tells
this story: An artist named Crowley
painted his portrait and bestowed on
him dreamy poetic face which might
have passed for Shelley's. The portrait
was shown to Daniel O'Connell by the
artist in presence Of Duffy. "Isnot that
very like Duffy" said Crowley. HIM, y
said O'Connell, looking from the por-
trait to the original, Il wish Duffy was
very like that. London Star.

Digging Earthworms.

A man tells how to get earthworms
without digging for them. Take q
strong stick four or five feet long and
sharp at one end and go to some locality,
such as the back of a barn, where the
worms are sure to be plentiful. Drive a
stick four or five inches into the ground
with hammer or stone and then begin
10 twist it with a rotary motion. Every
few minutes hit the top q rap to drive
the point farther into the ground and
keep on twisting. In five minutes the
worms will begin crawling out of their
holes, and all you have to do is to pick
them up and put them IN your can.

Now, Why Did Not sarah Faint.

Sara Bernhardt, said Charles Chatterton to
q New York World reporter, had funny ex-
per ence while playing cleopatra" in New
Haven. She was in her dressing room between
tie acts, alone. NOBODY is allowed to be near
her except her satellites, and an occasional
emssary from MIR. Abbey. She was standing
before her glass when she heard knock at the
door, and thinking it was her maid she re-
sponded with prompt Entry" blond young
man entered. He was beardless, well dressed
perfectly at eass. and admirably affable He
advanced. and closed the door.
You know Hamlet of course?" he asked
suddenly, after having INDUCED in an elaborate
bow.
Sarah, completely taken by surprise nodded
and awaited developments. The young man
laid down his hat, struck attitude, and in an
instantaneously tragic voice began ITO be, or
not to be-" He went entirely through the fam
Gus solioquy, and when he had finished it looked
inquringly at Sarah.
Charming" she exclaimed with a merry
laugh Without another word the young man
picked up his hat made another elaborate bow,
quietly opened the door and withdrew. Sarah
fell in a heap on the sofa and screamed with
laughter. When Mr.. Chatterton entered the
room q few minutes later he found the TRACE
dienne still shaking with mirth. She says t6at
this is the funniest thing that has ever happened
her.

term Of the superior court was that Of Lloyd
& Adams, creditors, VS.. Charles ]. Black
shear, to enforce an execution issued against
certain property formerly owned by.
G. J. Blackshear and conveyed to
his mother. The question at issue
was TO determine whether said conveyance
was made In good faith or to delay and de-
fraud the creditors The jury, by their
finding. established the validity of the con.
veyance and held the property not subject.
Elijah Cheavers, the negro who was oonA
victed at the spring term of the superior
court in 1891 of the murder of Deputy
Sheriff Culpepper but who appealed to the
supreme court, was resentenced to be
hanged on May ID, the supreme court sus-
tanning the decision Of the lower court.
Gus Roberts, charged with committing an
assault upon Mrs. Nancy Strickland of
Ware county last August, was found guilty
with a recommendation to mercy. He was
sentenced to twenty years in the peni-
tertiary.

The rnlk OF a asubsidlzed Press

The Talk Of "5ubsidized Press"
The fiippancy with which the mongrel
crowd that is composed of those who call
themselves the leaders of the Peoples party
talk about subsidized press" arouses a
suspicion that they are trying to stir up a
dust to hide their rascalities. The news
papers that have been standing up for the
Democratic party and its principles and
have been boycotted through the influence
of these leaders Of the Peoples party which
is an assistant TO the Republican party,
cannot be bought or subsidized. They have
sacrificed their pecuniary interests in order
to prevent the democrats from making a
terrible political blunder.
The fiippant representations of morally
rotten newspapers have helped the demA-
gogues of the Peoples party in misleading
the people by attributing all sorts Of bad
motives to papers that have refused to bend
the knee to the movement that has made
the Peoples party possible in Georgia, and
that have battled fearlessly for the best in
terests Of democracy and the people.
The wishy-washy newspapers that have
given encouragement and aid to demA-
gogues who were misleading the people, pre-
ferring pelf to principle. may have gained
few subscribers, but, by their course, they
have taken the risk of putting Georgia into
the hands of a worse gang than the carpet
bag crowd and their black cohorts that
trsmpled upon the rights Of the people
twenty years ago.
The Subsidized press" should be looked
for among the papers that have been toying
with the Peoples party and have been I'M
decided as to what democratic principles
are. The papers Of this class, in order to
increase their circulation few copies, have
been willing not only to betray their party,
but also to help to turn a white
mans government over TO the blacks
and new lot Of pet-baggers.
II Georgia is lost to the democracy, and it
ought to be the prayer of every good man
that she may not be, it will be because part
Of her press has not dealt with the people
frankly and honestly, but has lent a help
ing hand to their enemies with the hope Of
pecuniary and political rewards

A Temporary INJUNCTION Ordered Is

sued as Prayed For.
CHARLESTON, S. c., April 9.-The Rich
mond and Dsnville and other railroad COM
panies have sought relief through the
United States courts from the exactions of
the South Carolina state government. For
the past three days argument has been made
before Judges Bond and Simonton In the
United States circuit court upon the pc
utlon filed by the railroad companies
Tor an injunction to restrain nineteen
county treasurers In this state from issuing
executions against the railroads for the nom
payment of state taxes, and the sheriffs of
the respective counties from levyinR upon
the property of the railroads. The state
constitution provides that there shall be an
equal and uniform rate OF assessment aud
taxation, and the statutes provide that the
assessments shall be made by the township
and county boards Of equalization. The
controller general Of the state has attempted
to raise the assessment placed by the
assessors and boards of equalization
and the railroads have appealed from his
Interpretation of the law OF the courts. The
total valuation of all the taxable property
in this state for the year 1890 was $3.50 ,602,-
Ash and for 1891 s16s, 242, $40. OF these sums
the assessments on the railroads in 1890 was
$l7,905,9l4, in 1891 S26, 065, 800, or nearly
one'sixth Of the total assessment Of all the
taxable property in the state
INEQUALITY OF THE ASSESSMENT.
The inequality Of the assessment Is strik-
ingly shown in the Atlanta and Charlotte
Air Line, one of the roads in the Richmond
and Danville system, running from the
North Carolina line across the state to the
Georgia line The portion of the road lying
in this state is assessed at $4,000 per mile
more than in the state of Georgia. The
states lawyers commended thai the
question did not cone within the
jurisdiction of the circuit court.
The railroads lawyers maintained that
this court should entertain Jurisdiction
upon the well established eouita BILE doctrine
of avoiding a multiplicity Of suits. and to
sustain this presented numerous citations
from elementary books, especially Pomeroy
on Equity Jurisprudence, Kerr ON Injunc-
tions, aud many decided Gases from the
supreme court Of the United States were
cited and commented on. To-day Judges
Bond and Simonton in brief decision over,
ruled the states demurrers and ordered a
temporary injunction to be issued as prayed
for by the railroads. - 49,.
The decree is as follows: It is ordered,
adjudged and decreed that the demurrers
of the state be overruled and that the de-
fendents have, IL they be so advised to an
swer over, that temporary injunction is
sue in the terms prayed for in the bill until
the further order OF this court. The decree
is signed by Judges Bond and Simonton.
1t is understood that the state will next put
in an answer to the complaint, which will
necessitate reargument of the question on
Its merits.

Murderer DeeminR.

It Is seldom that a murderer attracts such
general attention as Charles Deeming. VIII
was pursued from England and arreste d
in Australia, and who was COM
mitted to Jail last Thursday at
Melbourne on the charge of having
murdered bis wife and four children at
Windsor, England. The newspapers in all
parts Of the world that are reached by
the telegraph published accounts OF the pur-
suit Of DeemIng, and also OF his arrest
and preliminary trial. The inter-
est in the murderer has been,
and still is, unusually great, for the reason
that he is regarded as a monstrosity. At his
trial, which is fixed for April %. it is under
stood that startling defense will be made
in his behalf. In fact. his counsel at
the preliminary hearing intimated as much.
An effort will be made to show that he
Is not only naturally cruel and vindictive,
but that he has a desire to spill human
blood that he cannot control. 1t will be
alleged that he was born with this desire,
and that 1t has grown stronger as he has
grown older. The purpose of this sort of
defense will be to create the imp ression
that while he may be responsible for all his
other actions he is not responsible for the
murders he has committed.
The belief is growing that he has commit
ted many murders. The evidence that he
murdered two women other than
his wife is quite convincing,
and facts are being collected which seem to
show that he is Jack the Ripper" who
murdered so many women brutally and
mysterlously In the Whitechapel district of
London couple Of years ago.
The defense that it is proposed to make
in his behalf is one that might be made for
any confirmed criminal II murderers and
thieves are such because they are born with
evil inclinations which they cannot
control then the feeling with which society
regards them is unjust. If such a theory
were accepted it would be the duty of So
ciety to confine them in prison so they could
not follow their evil inclinations, but it
would not be right to indict upoa them Sc
we're punishment. 1t will be long time.
however, before society will take a view of
criminals other Than that which it now
holds.
Deeming has always been a great favor
tie with women. While not a prepossessing
man in appearance, and never popular with
men, he has had no difficulty In finding
strong and earnest friends among women.
He appeared to fascinate them, and even
those who knew his cruel and vindictIve
character found a satisfaction in his society
they could not explain. His trial will at
tract almost as much attention as did his
pursuit and arrest.
