swallows in a Chimney.

A Norwich man who notes the arrival
of the birds in the spring was surprised
Tuesday evening to see with what facil-
ity thousands of swallows packed them
selves away for the night For the past
ten days he has watched the swallows
as they have circled in midair at night
fall over the center of the city. Tues
day night there appeared in one flock so
many that they formed cloud of birds.
and after circling about awhile the
leader started for the chimney on the
northeast corner of the Broadway school
house, and the whole flock followed. fiy-
ing into the chimney till the last swal-
low disappeared. In relating the incl
dent the gentleman said: 81 was amazed
to see them all go into q single chimney.
They formed large flock. and do not
believe there were less than 5000 Of
them. "-Norwich Bulletin.

How Men Carry Their Hands.

"a sure indication Of character is
found in the way in which a man car

Boston. You notice men on the streets

and palms which are displayed to all
who take the trouble to look. He is one
of that class whose heart is as open d.
his hands. He is frank, unsuspicious, a
free spender and believer in the hon
esty Of his fellows. Notice the business
man more advanced in years. His hands
are always closed so tightly that he
gives you the impression he is ever ex-
pecting an attack. This is the attitude
of men bent upon a certain object. 1t
is an attitude which displays the quail
ties of determination and fight.

will succeed, the man who applies his

Notions About Sleep.

One of the rudest acts in the eyes of
a native of the Philippine islands is to

Sleeping is with them a very solemn
matter. They are strongly averse to
waking any one, the idea being that
during sleep the soul is absent from the
body, and may not have time to return
if slumber is suddenly broken.

"He is asleep" you may as we'll depart

During the Russo Turkish campaign
of 1877 many Roumanian soldiers were
wounded, and Queen Elizabeth-Car-
men Silva-who constantly visited the
hospitals, found that some Of the patients
died because they chose death rather
than Disagreement. It occurred to her
that if one yielded others would follow,
and one day, when the surgeon was turn
ing sorrowfu1ly away from an obstinate
patient who could be saved only by an
operation, she approached and added her
own entreaties-
Still the soldier reiterated that, if his
leg were amputated, he should only be
taken for a mendicant, like the wretched
outcasts Of the Carpathians.
II am not beggar," said he proudly
II will lose my life, but not my honor"
1T is true" said the queen, "you are
not beggar, but am" and she threw
herself on her knees at the bedside. Il

"Why, then" she said joyfully, rising
and seizing his hand again, "why, 1 will
give you the most beautiful cork leg in
Europe; it shall work with springs, and
when the war is over you shall come
and dance at the palace with your sons. ="
Il consent" he said softly, ''but you
must hold my hand during the opera

After that there was no more opposi-
ton to the surgeons wishes, since they
were also those Of the beloved lady of
the land.-Youth's Companion.

day night, when we children were re-
quired to study the Scriptural lesson for

next morning we went at our lesson
again until church time. The morn
ing service was from 10 to IL o'clock,
composed chiefly of a long winded SER
mon. during which we were required to
keep awake, pay strict attention and be-
have ourselves. This was followed by
Sunday school, where we recited our
lessons correctly or suffered severe con-
sequences.
After a cold lunch at home, for moth

Saved by His Horse.

The Indian papers give particulars of
the murderous attack made upon Lieu
tenant Robertson, r. E., by Ghazi at
Gullstan. It appears that the former
was out riding and was joined by the
Ghazi, who was also on horseback. Both
entered into friendly conversation, and
shortly afterward put their horses to a
trial Of speed, in which Lieutenant Rob
ertson outstripped his rival. when the
Chan, being q short distance behind,
suddenly drew his tulwar and inflicted q
severe cash ON Lieutenant Robertson's
neck and otherwise wounded his hand,
which he had raised to ward off the
Ghazi's attack.
Lieutenant Robertson was brought
into Quota and taken to the station
hospital, where he is at present being
treated, and there is every hope of his
recovery. The young Ghazi was ar
rested and brought into Quetta to be
identified by Lieutenant Robertson, and
it having been proved conclusively that
he was the individual who attacked him,
be was in consequence summary tried,
found guilty of an attempt to murder
and sentenced to be hanged and his
body 'afterward burned. The sentence
was carried into effect on Tuesday morn
ing.
1t is stated that when Lieutenant
Robertson fell off his horse and was w.
ing on the ground bleeding profusely
the faithful animal protected his master
from further injury by kicking at the
Ghazi and attempting to bite him. But
for this remarkable behavior on the part
Of Lieutenant Robertson's horse, it is
supposed that the Ghai would have
probably hacked Lieutenant Robertson
to death.-St. James Gazette.

4 DEMOCRATIC DAILY

The amazing and anomalous posi-
ton now occupied by the Times
Union, with respect to the local poll
tics in Duyal county, is a matter of
deep significance, in view of the
asserted claim of that journal as "the
leading democratic paper of the
state"
After months spent in fomenting
discord in the party in that county,
it was compelled to suffer an over
whelming defeat in the county con.
vention, held in due form under the
call of the regularly constituted po-
litical authorities of the county, and
refusing to accept the result it
openly melted an organized rebel
lion against the will of the people,
resulting in the holding of another
county convention, at which a new
set of delegates to the state conven-
tion was selected, a primary election
for the nomination Of candidates for
county officers, to run in opposition
to the nominees of the regularly cor
stituted convention was ordered, and
a new county executive committee
was selected.
The highest political authority in
the state, the state convention, ig-
nored the action of the Times-Un-
ions so-called county convention,
and refused admittance to its set of
delegates. Accepting the results of
the state convention, and promising
its nominees hearty support, this
would-be democratic journal I'M
blushingly continues its support OF
the county ticket nominated through
the agency which the state conven-
ton had in effect declared as having
no authority, and advocates as VIC
lently as ever the election of a county
ticket which by no stretch of cour-
tesy can be regarded otherwise than
as an independent ticket, openly OPP
posed to the one regularly nominated
by the properly constituted author
itv.
What sort OF position is this for
a democratic newspaper:
How will the democrats of the
state feel disposed to look upon such
democracy?
The simple fact that the Times
Union has been able to retain it's
position as the principal morning
paper of the state, furnishing the
press dispatches, is its only claim to
the patronage of Florida democrats,
The time is ripe for the establish
ment of frst-class democratic news.

Others left cards without inquiry. Many
letters Of sympathy, applications for the
