Saved wv Life
The Praise of Idleness.

Young Aime Maillard, the great com.
poser, was at the time of our story a
member of rhetorical class. The pro-
fessor gave as the subject of an essay.
THE Praise of Idleness." On the day
appointed the themes were handed in by
all the pupils except Maillard.
Sir" said the professor, II have had
nothing from you yet"
Here IL is" replied the young rhetori'
clan, as he placed roll of paper on the
masters desk and returned to his seat.
The professor turned over the sheets one
by one; nothing but blank pages met his
eye. Turning to the pupil he angrily ex
claimed:
Trying to make fool of me, eh'"
"No, sir" quietly remarked Anne Mail

tribute you could bestow on idleness was
simply to do nothing, Petit Lyonnais

fore Election.

If any man deserves the support of the
people of Santa Fe his name is L. b.
Catron. But for him the capital would
long since have been removed from the
ancient Silver City Enterprise.
Correct, and should he and the Santa
Fe Republican legislative and county
ticket be defeated, the capital will go
from Santa Fe. That's all there is of it,
and the property owners, tax payers and
the business men might just as well I'M
derstand and face the naked truth.-NEw

Catron will be defeated, the legislature
will be Democratic and Santa Fe will
lose the capital. Poor old Santa Fe!
All it will have left will be Max. Frost
and the New MEXICAN Silver City Sen

note q few impressions l received of
the convention. Never before was
there convention Of more discordant
elements-and yet there was apparent
harmony. Four-ffths of the men
wanted women suffrage; but to secure
the South they waived its present CON
slderation. Side by side sat the pro.
hloltiontst and the saloonist. The re-
ligious fanatic, with his divine mission
to reform tho world, held friendly ccul-
munion with the man who despiScS all
law, both human and divine. On one
seat sat the modest Southern tanner,
too tilnid to raise his voice in the tu~
multuouS assembly, while OH the c!iRir
in front Of him stood a woman hoHiinr
to the chairman for recognition. Here
might be seen tho tishtiTitf advocate
from PennSJ lvania telling Knot ur
farmers they ought to quit talking
tariff; that what they need is more
money. lie well knows that, undcr
the tariff law, it will pass through their
pockets into his. In another place you
could ste the kid-gloved "prolc ssiona.
reformcr" indoctrinating the "horny-
handed son Of t0il' in his gIUrjvIs
theories. On the stage there is dra-
matte scene. The cx-Federals have
dug up once more that old ensang,ined
garment, which has already been Buried
thousand times, and are calling upon
the Confederate veterans to join in one
more funeral. The Yankee, however,
has shrewdly stipulated that Johnny
lteb Is to pay for the tears, and bear
the funeral expenses. lie gets "turkey"
while ohnny as usual, gets "buzzard." ;"
But the convention is gone. What
shall the harvest be? AS said before,
Georgia has been doomed by these con-
spirators. They rely for success upon
the desperation of debt" and the hope
lessness of despair that exists among
our people. But, even in the madness
OF 1mpatlence, can we not remember
Georgia? Can we not remember that
United we stand, divided we fall :"
Shall we who have withstood the
prejudices and power of the combined
world, shall We now turn and destroy
one another to the delectation of our
enemies?
Let us remember the story Of Troy
and the "Trojan horse" That city was
bes!eged by the allied armiers of Greece.
Despalring after ten years of capturing
the city the Greeks built huge wooden
horse, filled it with armed men, and
pretended to retire from the city, Simon,
a Greek, appeared within the walls.
He told the Trojans that although he
had been Greek, he had come to cast
his fortunes in Troy. He told them
also that the horse was the gift of the
gods, and persuaded them to pull down
the walls and bring it into the heart of
the city. That night Troy was de-
stroyed. The proud old city that for
ten years had withstood the power of
Greece with her thousand ships, WAS
destroyed 10y the lieing lips of Simon.

a Noico from Georgia.

ATLANTA, Ca, March 31.--The Con.
stltutlon In an editorial to-day saws
that when Wall street Democrats in
tte llouSe defeated the free coinage
Dill they undertook 4 more serious en-
terprise than they had any idea of.
Ihey gave new purpose and a keener
edge to the clamor Of the people. They
nave made necessary for the party in
convention assembled to make clear,
bold and vigorous utterance on the
silver question. Their failure to do
this Will naturally be regarded by DEM
0crats who are iii favor of free coinage
as something more than an intimatiOn
Chat the party cannot afford to antag->
onize Wall street and the money power.
This necessity will grow more and
more pressing as the day for the con.
Ventl0n draws near. The Wall street
contingent will find that they have not
succeeded in suppressing the issue, but
nave made it more important than it
has ever been." The editorial con-
cludes: "If able leaders in Congress,
who have permitted fifty. one Demo.
Gratis to dictate suppression Of the free
coinage bill to the largest majority the
party eyer had, will visit Georgia and
other Southern States, and 20 out In
Ine country places, we think they will
discover that the situation IS not by any
means what it ought to be in surreh-
dering. to Wall street, and in trying to
bend the party to the financial views Of
the East. They will find on investiga-
t1on that they have stirred up storm
which they will find some trouble in
controlling. There is yet time for
Crisp and the Democrats of the House
TO meet the views of the people in this
matter. They should hasten to do 50.
They have made Z grievous blunder;
they can correct it by rctracing their
steps, by taking up the free coinage bill
and passing it."

Preached His Funeral Sermon.

ATHENS, Ca, April Ian old man
around whose life clusters many an in
teresting incident and Of whom much
has been written, died yesterday at
High Shoals. II WAS the Rev. N. w.
l'ridgeon, a Campbellit preacher.
Mr.. Pridgeon was 88 years old and
his death was due to old age. In
March 1888, it WAS given out that on
the 9th day Of April the Rev. N. w.
l'rIdgeon would preach his own funeral
sermon at grove near his home on the
road to High Shoals, about ten miles
from the city.
IhlS was an occurrence never wit
messed before by the people around here
and on the day set for the sermon over
ilVe thousand people from all over this
section OF country were present. About
- O'Clock on that day, which was his
o4th birthday, MI. Pridgeon began
preaching his own funeral sermon.
a plain pine coffin made by his own
hands was before him and across It was
LAID an open Bible. From the holy
book MIR. Pridgeon read many passages
TO prove that men should preach theiI
own funeral sermons, and then proceed
cd to deliver long funeral discourse
At times the vast congregation would
sing the hymns read out by the vener,
able preacher, and the strictest atten
ton was paid him during his remarks
Many believed that at the conclusion
or ms sermon he would die, but the old
gentleman lived four years after that
sermon. His father also preached his
own funeral sermon. The venerable
preacher was buried to-day in Oconee
County"

LATEST FROM TIE STORM.

KANSAS CITY, April 2.-With the go.
ing down OF the wind, the telegraph Is
AGAIN brought into service, and the
StOrm-stlicken district Of Kansas is heard
from. The wire service is still very
bad, but there is enough news coming
in TO show that Lhc terrible work was far
reaching and very destructive. A care
iul estimate regarding the number of
killed and wounded throughout the State,
the result of the Winds havoc, makes it
nearly loo killed and bcrween 200 and
800 injured. The reports in are: South
Haven, s dead and 80 wounded; Wellinc-
ton, / dead aud % injured; on farms be-
tween these two towns, 5 dead and Q in
jurcd; Towands, II dead and IS wound.
eu; Augusta, dead and 10 injured;
Homestead, dead and ! injured; Strong
City, . dead, 3 wounded; Salina, Is in
injured, fatally. These towns are the
only ones from which anything like a
denatc report has been obtained, and
the possibilities arc that when the west
crn towrs and villages are heard from,
the death list will be swellcd to nearly
100.
Among the strange stories told Of the
queer actions OF the wind is that of Miss
Ella Thornton, of Towauda, who was
blown away by the storm and carried a
distance Of halfa mile, carrying n pill
low. She was blown through the side
OF wrecked barn and deposited on the
back OF horse unhurt.
