The Upper Vest Pocket.

"There is just one person in this
world | would feel justified in as
sassinating, aud that is the inventor
of the upper vest pocket" said Ma
jor John Wampler at the Southern.
The upper vest pocket is q delu-
sion and a snare; it has caused
more misery than unrequited love,
more profanity than tight boots. A
man cannot resist the temptation
to put all manner of articles into
it-comb, toothbrush, cigars, pen
ellis, etc.-well knowing that the
first time he has occasion to stoop
down he will spill the entire cargo
over the floor. The upper vest
pocket was my bette noir for twenty
years; then I ordered my tailor to
omit those receptacles, and I now
have hopes pf living q gentleman
and dying consistent Christian. !"

A Prolific People.

Four families living in the coun-
try surrounding Bristol, Tennessee,
have, it is said, more children than
any other four families in the United
States.
Rev. Asa Routh of Piney Flats
is the father of thirty-three chill
dren, most of whom are living and
still under his roof.
Mr.. SANDS, man living ON the
farm of DR.. NJ. M. Butler, is now
living with his third wife. Strange
to say, he married Weavers every
time. Two of them were sisters.
and the third was a sister-in-law Of
the other two. He is the father of
twenty-three children. All are sim
gle but one.
Mr.. Miles of the town of Jones'
Vile, Va, had twenty-one sons in
the Confederate army.
A short time ago old Charles Ad-
dington died at his home in Scott
county, Va, at the ripe old age of
1O7 years. He was married the
third time when he was just SO
years old. His bride was only merg-
ing out of her teens. When he
wanted his license he mounted
trusty mule and rode several miles
to get it. Mr.. Wood, who was then
County Court Clerk, offered to as
sist the aged man on his mule when
he wanted to take his departure,
but the old man said "No, am
young man yeti" and sure he was,
for FIVE children blessed the new
union. He was the father of thirty
four children. All of the above can
be vouched for. sAll told, there are
10 of these children.-Richmond

When Bufaloes Were Plentiful.


"While Buffaloes were still plen-
tiful," said DR.. Carver, recently, II
had a contract with a Chicago man
to kill 5000 buffaloes one winter.
In those days there was no hunting
for hides alone; the meat was high
" priced, and found a ready market
in the East, and as the killing was
done in the winter, it usually reach
ed there in very good condition.
The manner in which we used to go
about it was, first sight our buffalo,
and then start for them; if they
were too far away from the camp,
we usually endeavored to ride
around them and lead them back,
50 as to leave their carcasses as near
the station-as possible. We would
ride up to . bunch of buffalo and
cut loose At them, following them
and shooting them down as long as
our horses would stand the work.
Many 4 time a small party of US
would entirely wipe out q good
sized herd Of buffalo in one day

the wolf killed for? The probabil-
ity is, and l am almost positive,
that the dead wolf was the one that
killed the deer. I have talked to
many hunters upon this subject,
and have come across but two who
had seen anything similar, and they
thoug.st the wolf had been killed
for lying. If it was done in the

time I ever knew wolf to be killed

The Most Useful Mineral.

If one were to ask his friends
what mineral we are most familiar
with, and most commonly used fol
food, the answers would probably
be most varied and amusing. Salt
would, fancy, first suggest itseli
to many, and to those whose train
ing in physiology and hygine has
not been neglected, no doubt the
claims of lime and iron and carbon,
which, in one form or another, we
use with food to build up bone and
Drawn, would be amply urged. But,
after all, it is water, for water is a
mineral fused mineral. You will
find it described as such, along with
quartz and topaz and tho diamond,
in Dana's Minerology, or in other
treatises on stones.
We usually think of mineral as
solid things, such as metals and
rocks and jewels and various chem
ical salts. But when we consider
the matter a little we see that all
these things, if melted by strong
heat, are minerals still, only they
are now in fluid instead of q solid
state. The difference between these
minerals and water is that water
gets fluid at q lower temperature
than they do, and, like quicksilver,
stays melted at ordinary living heat.
But in those old ice ages, which,
one after another, have swept now
over the Northern and now over
the Southern Hemisphere, bringing
ruin and desolation, the natural
and common codition of water was
that of solid-ice-as it largely is
to-day out of doors in winter when
not kept fused by the stored-up
heat of the soil and rocks, or melted
by the sun.-From "Ice and Ice

"A Wonderful Air City.

Many stories have been written
about mirages and delusions, but
none have been more interesting
and curious than that Of the Silent
City mirage, which makes it's ap-
pearance near the Pacific Glacier in
Alaska. The discovery of this won
derful mirage was made by the In
dians, who would tell Of the city
which was built in the clouds. The
mirage can be seen in the early part
of July, from 5 to six P. NJ. Itrises
from the side of the Pacific Glacier.
It first appears like heavy mist,
and soon becomes clearer, and one
can distinctly see the specter city,
well defined streets, tall spires, huge
and odd-shaped buildings which
appear to be ancient mosques or
cathedrals. It is a city which would
seem to contain at least rs, 600 or
80, 900 inhabitants. As yet no one
has been able to identify it, although
several have claimed to. recognize
the place. There is no city like it
in Alaska, nor in any country about
it for thousands of miles. Some
claim it as city in Russia, others
say it is a city in England, but none
can tell what and where it is. The
mirage was given the name of ISL
lent City," as it appears to one like

would indicate it is Inhabited

to avoid the handling Of silver dol

method there will be such an up
rising against the silver dollar that

It is an association Of ignorant and

to carry around their little cofpers

speed toward the lake, and q mo-
ment later a wolf appeared in hot
pursuit. Expecting them to plunge
into abe lake, when l could over

deer reached the water it was caught
by the wolf, which pulled it down
and killed it. Then the wolfstalked
around, looked about, trotted of
some distance and set up q howl,

iident of securing its further consideration

The most important feature of the plat
form, next to the resolution which was
made public yesterday, will be the tariff
plank. Important changes will be made
from the draft furnished by the sub.
committee, which was telegraphed last
night, through some of the news agencies,
as the one finally adopted by the com
mittee. The plank finally agreed upon
will rcaifirm the American doctrine
OF protection, calling attention to its
growth abroad and the prosperous
condition of the United States M incident
to its existence in this country and will re-
affirm the policy Of admitting free of duty
articles of foreign growth, except the
luxuries of life, which cannot be produced
in this country; and declare that the pro-
tective tariff on all products brought into
competition with the products of American
labor should be fully equal to the differ
ence in wages abroad and at home.

! said abandonment of Blaine; he has
not yet been abandoned, but such Il dis

themselves feel they cannot defeat Ilarri-

are willing and ready to join with other
anti-administration men to prevent his
nomination by the taking up OF dark
horse.
MEANS ONE THING.
There is only one construction to be put
upon this willingness of the Blaine leaders
to change their candidate They fear they
are not able TO crown the "plumeti
knight" but they hope that they can help
prevent tho nomination of his hated rival.
They have far from given up the fight,
but it isNnow the fight of despair and not
of enthusiasm MIR. Blaine may be unable
to win, but let Harrison fail by live votes
10 secure the nomination on the first ballot
and he Is lost. The Blaine strength is a
transferable strength TO almost any man
except Harrison. Bound together by one
common cause these hundreds of men, ii
they find they cannot bring victory to the
idol they so fondly worship, will throw
all personal considerations to the winds
in order that they may prevent his party

must be rallied and a supreme effort made
to break their forces. The Blaine man
ayers are now III u. m.) in session. They
claim u combination that will defeat Har-
