A SUDDEN REVOLUTION OF SENT

| MENT.
Colonel Evan P. Howell, who, with
Henry Grady, made the Atlanta Coasti-
tuition, and who still guides its course,
was at the Metropolitan yesterday. Dur
ing the great fight on the prohibition
question a few years since that shook
the Georgia capital with almost as much
force as Sherman's army, Howell and
Grady espoused opposite sides, the latter
being strong pro and his partner just
as radical an anti. Grady was a more
eloquent speaker than Howell. and his
eioquence had brought around him more
than half the voters of Atlanta, including
| about 800 negroes. Howell knew his
side must get these negroes or expect
defeat. Money was offered freely to the
negroes, but the prohibitiOniSts had been
equally liberal in the use of cash. and on
the night before election they had about
300 negroes in big warehouse, where
they were feasting on baked 'possum and
sweet potatoes. They were to be voted
in body the next morning. Now a
darby loves 'possum and 'tatcrs, even
better than whiskey, and those prohi-
bitiOn negroes were just simply 'reveling
in the ir favOrite dainties. Even Howell
sat in the Constitution office completely
nonplussed for while. Suddenly his
face frightened and he jumped up ex-
claiming, 1--WE got it!'' Calling a negro,
he gave him instructions in an under
tone, and then asked his friends to ac-
company him around to the prohibition
warehouse and see the effect of his plan.
As they stood in front they saw the
negro to whom Howell had just given
instructions slip quietly into the ware
house and over where the negroes were
eating possum.
The negro, acting under instructions,
had gone out quietly, caught cat on
somebody's back yard fence and skinned
it. AS he went into the warehouse lie
bore the cat and skin concealed beneath
his coat.
Into the warehouse he quietly edged
around to where the 'possums were be-
ing prepared, and, when unobscrved,
laid the skinned cat among the
'possums and threw the skin on
the ground near by. Then he mingled
in the crowd and commenced eating
'possum himself
He ate awhile, then turned to his
neighbor and said:
"Look yer, Ike, dis amt no 'possum;
my stomach knows 'possum, an it say
dis no 'possum."
As he said this he felt OF his stomach
and pretended to be sick. Then he
said, I'm gwine to see EN- fore cat
emmy more"
At this dozen OF tn c feasters quickly
became interested, and as the thought
struck them that they might not be eat
ing 'possum at all, each one i'm agined he
could feel nausea, and all ran over to
where the 'pOssums were being prepared.
Howel's agent got there first He
picked up the skinned cat, looked at
its feet, and then stopped down and
licked up the skin.
In just two minutes that warehouse
contained 800 of the sickest negroes who
ever lived. And mad They were as
mad as hornets. They swore they would
vote with no crowd which would feed
them on cats for 'possums, and the next
morning every negro in that warehouse
voted for anti-prohibition. Evan Howells
dead cat carried the election Washing

does not look nearly so old. He entered
Hobart college in 1858, but was not grad
uated. His first newspaper work was
in 1866 on the New York World, when
Manton Marble was editor and William
Henry Hurlbert and the late Ivory Cham
berlain the chief editorial writers. Mr..
Schuyler soon made his mark even in such
brilliant company as this, and for eighteen
years he retained desk in that office, now
writing editorials, now art and theatrical
criticisms, and again serving as managing
editor. He was managing editor three or
four times, but he had hearty distaste
for the drudgery of executive work. On
several occasions he did reporters work,
and each time he showed the youngsters
in the office what could bedone in the way
of first class descriptive writing. He re-
ported among other occurrences the burst
ing of dam in New England, several col
lege boat races and the hanging of Guiteau.
In 1888 Mr.. Schuyler joined the staff of
the New York Times. Keeping up his
work on The Times he served for several
years as managing editor of Harper's
Weekly. The work in the two Offices
after awhile became too burdensome and
he relinquished his place at Harper's. AS
an editorial writer he is singularly happy.
1t matters not how dry the subject may
be upon which he treats, he always makes
it interesting and never fails to say some
thing bright. The view he takes upon
any public or social question is that which
is natural to a gentleman and clean and
cultivated man of the world, and what he
has to say is usually expressed in language
which it would be very difficult to i'm
prove. JNO. GILMER SPEED.

Reflections ON Poesy.

When the snow falls in the winter;
When it falls upon the mountain.
On the meadows, in the valleys,
Soft and white and rather pretty,
Then the poet sings the praises
OF the Frost King, with his mantle
Made of ermine, very royal.
When the spring comes and the weather
Makes the mantle somewhat dingy,
Quite maltese and not so pretty,
Then the bard begins another
Song of nature light and airy,
With soft refrain of verdure
And the breaking of the shackles
That the Frost King forged and welded
That which used to be the mantle.
In the summer he is full of
Gush about the blooming daisies
And some other things and nothings
Which would take mighty volume
Just to mention in their order.
Then in autumn he becomes
Devotee of smiling Ceres,
Dedicates his pen to singing,
His new fountain pen to singing
Songs of bursting bins and harvests;
Makes the corn grow on the marshland
And some other things as doubtful,
For your poet is a dandy.
Facts have never yet disturbed him;
Nothing scares him; nothing stops him;
He is there at any angle:
Till his ink runs out he'll go 1t
Up one side and down the other.
Neither flies nor brakes are on him;
He's cyclone, that's what he is,
And he doesn't care who knows it.

A For;.:SsK Cat.

A cat which patronizes the soda water
fountain is an attraction Of q drug store
in Sixth avenue, near jefferson market
It is a fine plump animal, with layer
of fat for each Of its thirteen years, but
between its age and weight it is most
deliberate in its movements. It's teeth
are not what they once were by any
means, and so it gets along most easily
with liquid food. Long ago it discov-
cred that the ''cream" of the fountain
su;ted its tastes, and it has a habit of
going up to the counter and waiting
until it is served with light refreshments
in its own particular saucer. Then it
sits in the sunlight and blinks content
edly, the envy of all the small boys Of
the neighborhood, whose visits to the
fountain are limited by circumstances
over which they have no control. New
York Times.

stories of Lord To1lemache.

After landing on the south coast of Eng
land, Lord Tollemache put his wife and
children in a cab and himself walked to
the station. Stopping suddenly before a
barber's shop, he said to the shopman: 81
like the look of that wig in the window.
How long would it take to shave my
head?"
"a quarter of an hour, SIR"
81 can give you twenty minutes, and
shall then have five minutes to catch the
train" When he joined his wife and
children he had the wig on. This story
had from my fathers own lips; the other
came to me less directly, but I have no
reason to doubt it. Ny grandmother
Lady Elizabeth Tollemache-had house
in London, and another Lady Elizabeth
lived in the next house, which was exactly
like it. My father, calling accidentally at
the wrong door, asked the servant, "Is
Lady Elizabeth at homer"
'sHer ladyship receives nobody, sir; she
is ill in bed,"
"Stuff and nonsensel She is my mother. !"
And rushing past the astonished foot
man he ran up stairs to what he supposed
to be his mothers bedroom.-Spectator

A BRIGHT NEWSPAPER MAN.
FRANCES L. GARsIDE

The Career of Montgomery Schuyler, of
the New York Times.
Especial Correspondence
NEW YORK, Oct 3.-Among the news
paper writer's in New York there is no one
who has more attractive or more engag-
ing personality than Montgomery Schuy-
Ter, of the New York Times.
In appearance he is handsome, strikingly
so, and in manner he is genial and demo-
cratic, but he is plainly person with
whom no one would care to take liberty
or to make joke with any personal bear
ing. For an amateur Mr.. Schuyler has
singularly accurate knowledge of archi-
lecture, and upon this subject he writes
with understanding and appreciation. An
architect whose work meets with Mr.
Schuyler's critical approval is usually a
very happy man. In music, too, he is g
connoisseur.
He is descended from the first Peter
Schuyler, of Albany, and was born in
Ithaca forty-nine years ago, though he

The Inspiration of a Famous Line.

The Drawer has very little sympathy, as
a rule, with those who make light of the
thoughts of great poets, but once in
awhile there comes time when such per-
versions are quite excusable. One of these
times occurred recently, and the result
will not prove unpopular with those who
have suffered from the irregularities of
Bridget or the idiosyncrasies of Dinah.

. possible Use for serpents' Poison.

The experiments which have been
making consist chiefly of soaking scraps
of meat, bits of hard boiled eggs and
things of that sort, in the poison Of
yipers and analyzing the changes which
resulted in them after a given interval.
From these and from similar trials it
was found that this fluid had the power
of dissolving the albumen of flesh like
the gastric juice has, so it is thought
that one great use perhaps the greatest)
of the venom is to aid in the digestion Of
the serpent's food. Of course it might
do that and serve as ammunition to kill
