John NihIe's Brave Deed.

An old conrade of mine, Sergeant John
Mile, attached TO the United States cav
airy, was ont with a scouting party, and
they were surprised by a party of IN
Gians four times their number. They
exchanged shots with them, wheeled
about and made for camp, some miles
distant.
The Indians continued firing, and final
ly one of the white men was hit and fell
from his horse. Quick as a fash Mile
dismOunted, dropped on his knee and
fired at the foremost Indian, bringing
him to the ground. Jumping up he
placed his wounded comrade across his
horse, jumped up behind him, and by
keeping up a continual fire at his pur-
suers carried him into camp. Congress
awarded Nihle a medal and also a GER
tificate setting forth the facts of his hero
ism. He was the champion shot of the
army for several years, his left breast
being decorated with medals to the value
of 800, but the one he prizes most is the
simple one Of bronze awarded by con-
gress.
John is very modest and as brave as a
lion, and as such he is regarded by his
comrades at Willets Point.-Cor. New
York Press.

Story of a LustrOus Diamond.

One of the finest diamonds in the world
was found not long since in the Brazilian
sands. 1t came in a novel form. A small
quartz rock was found, about the size
and shape of an egg, lying in the sands
along the bank of the Amazon in Brazil.
This was carried home by a Brazilian
peasant, who was attracted by its odd
shape and light weight. For some time
it lay in his home with a number of
other geological specimens, a mere Gu
riosity. Happening one day in handling
1t to drop it on a stone block, it burst
open and lay in halves on the block.
The hollow interior that gave the light
weight to the stone was filled with blood
red sand. In this sand lay the diamond,
a sparkling stone of the rarest quality.
The stone was later sold to a diamond
merchant and left the finder exceedingly
wealthy.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Few SchOOlbOOks In the Home.

There is L effect of the law requir-
ing towns to provide free textbooks for
schools that will operate a little against
the public good, though probably not
seriously. This is that scholars go out
from the schools at graduation without
the little stool; of schoolbooks as private
property common to former years. In
many households these schoolbooks
comprised in the main the family Ii
braries, and they have doubtless in
thousands Of instances been sources of
information and means Of study to "chil-
dren Of a larger growth" in the home
circle. Now the books have almost en-
tlrely disappeared from the country
stores, and the citizen who wants one
has to send abroad for it. A Maine man
who tried to purchase a textbook the
other day in a village containing 40
stores couldn't find one for sala.-Lew-

Scientific Calculations.

An electrical writer has calculated
that the firing of a small pistol sets
free about 600 foot pounds of energy,
while a watch consumes about 1-54. 600
OOOth Of a horsepower, the energy of the
bullet being sufficient to keep the time
for two years. An Edison telephone
transmltter requires about l .OOOth of the
energy in a watch. 1t would therefore
be worked for 1000 years on the energy
exerted in the pistol. A lightning flash

Where Styles In Hats Rarely Change.

DR.. Doran tells Us that the Natal
''fashionables' wear hats a foot high in
height, made Of the fat of oxen. They
first gradually anoint the head with a
pure grease, which, mixing with the
hair, fastens the hat on during the life
time of the wearer. The Myantses make
a hat of a board II inches by 6. They
place it on their heads, draw the hair
over it and seal it with wax. They can
not lie down without keeping their necks
straight, and when they comb their hair,
which they do once or twice a year, they
have to spend considerable time in melt
ing the wax before they can get their
hats off.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Wild and Woody Extent by the
Gentleman in Charge.
The following from Dawson, Ga viii,
be Of much interest in this city:
Quite a sensation has been created here
in school and social circles by the re.
quested resignation of Professor Frank
NJ. Harper, principal Of the public
school, by Professor +. J. Simmons,
superintendent Of the schools.
The story is a long one and dates back
som time.
Professor Simmons and Harper were
fast friends and came to Dawson together
from North Carolina, where they had
known each other for some time. There
were several others from the same state
in the capacity of teachers and some as
students of music under Mrs. Simmons,
wife Of the superintendent.
Mrs. Simmons, who was a Miss South.
gate, is quite a noted musician of con.
siderable ability, and, as was natural, had
many admirers and pupils. Her rules
in the music department were, however,
rather stringent, she not allo wing the
young ladies any social pleasures, only
under certain restrictions and on stated
occasions. AS a result of the infringe
ment of these rules several Of the young
ladies lost their places.
Professor Harper participated with
one of them in violating the wishes and
commands Of Mrs. Simmons by dancing
at a reception given by one of the vict.
inns Of the rigid rules, who had recently
married. This caused the expulsion of
Professor Harper who was at the time
taking music of Mrs. Simmons also, and
as a consequence friction was engendered
between the principal and the superin-
tendent.
Matters went on for some time when
at a teachers meeting which, Professor
Harper did not attend, Professor Sim
mons asked all of the teachers not TO
have any further wrangling and they
all agreed to the proposition. Pro esso1
Simmons wrote out an abstract of what
was said and asked Professor Harper to
sign it. This, Professor Harper promptly
refused to do, saying hat it would be an
admission Of his guilt.
Professor Simmons then demanded
Professor llarper's resignation, which
was Immediately rendered and after a
meeting of the board accepted.
Professor Harper has accepted a posi-
ton in the public schools of Athens at an
increase Of salary. There is quite a Iii
vision Of sentiment in the matter and
many predict that this unfortunate dis
will either result in a disintegra
ton of the schools or a revolution in
their management.
Professor Harper's place has not yet
been filled, but it is hoped that the
can find a good man to fiji the va T
can't position until summer. !

The public sentiment of the coun-
try will no doubt approve President
Harrison's action in reference to those
members of the Mormon Church who
have violated the law against poly
gamy. He has proclaimed a general
amnesty in the case Of all offenders,
provided that they have obeyed the
law since November, 1890, and pledge
themselves to do SO in the future
This action has been urged upon the
President by the Utah Commission,
the Governor of the Territory and
many citizens of Utah who are not
Mormons 1t has not been taken
without careful consideration, and is
attests the purpose of the Federal
Government to refrain from harsh
measures provided the Mormons act
in good faith in their avowed renun-
citation of polygamy.

A report, alleged to have originated
at Montpelier, has been going the
rounds Of the papers, to the effect that
negotiations are under way for the
lease of the Central Vermont railway
system to the Boston & Maine or the
New York Central. President Smith
declares the report to be utterly with
out foundation He further says that
there has been no talk even of trans
ferring the Central Vermont from it's
present owners and managers. With
the prospect, for the coming year, of
the largestpassenger and freight bust
ness in it's history, and with all the
paying business it can possibly handle
at present, the management has good
reason for preferring to keep the
main railway artery of Vermont with
in it's own control, and the people of
Vermont will be glad to have the
management remain in the hands of
the men of Vermont.-Wdtchnaa

The conduct of the officials OF the
city of Hamburg since the reappear-
ance of cholera there merits the Sc
we're condemnation it is receiving.
When the fresh outbreak was first re-
ported it was met with an unqualified
denial. The Prussian government has
now taken hold of the matter and has
ordered that ali suspected persons
shall be under careful supervision,
and in doubtful cases that bacteriol-
ogical examination shall be made. The
government ought to go further and
require thorough cleaning and puri-
fication of the dirty city, as has been
done in Havre and other European
cities. Had things gone on as they
were in Hamburg the total severance
of all communication between that
port and New York would have been
necessary to insure the safety of this
country, and even now that is one of
the possibilities during the coming
summer.

JUSTICE LAMAR DEAD.

Justice Lamar of the United States
Supreme court died at Macon, Georgia,
at O'Clock p. M. Jan. %. 1t is ter
rible shock to the community. The
death was sudden in the extreme, for
although he has been ailing for some
time, he appeared to be gradually
gaining in health. He came from
Washington to Macon a month ago
and had been visiting at the residence
of w. H. Virgin.
In the afternoon about 8 O'Clock
Justice Lamar prepared to go to the
city, but was met at the door by
friend, DR.. Llewellyn, with whom he
returned the sitting room. At that
time and during the afternoon he was
in good spirits and at dinner at $3.50
O'Clock in the evening, he seemed to
have good appetite. DIR. Llewellyn
left the house about O'Clock and
few minutes later the justice was seiz-
ed with violent pains in his heart. and
died at the hour mentioned.
He was born in Putnam county,
Georgia, September II, 1925; receiv-
ed his early education in Oxford, Miss,
and was graduated from Emory col
lege. He was elected to the legisla-
ture of Georgia in 1858; was elected a
member of congress in 1857, and serv-
ed until 1860, when he Withdrew to
take part in the secession convention
of Mississippi; was colonel of the 10Th
Mississippi confederate infantry; par
ticipated in many engagements with
the army of northern Virginia; was
compelled to leave the service by i'll
health; was sent as commissioner
of the confederacy to Russia in 1868;
in 1872 was elected to congress and
re- elected in 1874; was elected to the
United States senate and took his seat
March 5, 1877; was appointed secre-
tary of the interior March 5, 1885, and
filled the Office until appointed, Jan.
16, 1888, associate justice ofthe United

The Influence of the Bible seems to

The influence of the Bible seems to
be felt to such an extent in Turkey
that a more rigid censorship than ever
is being exercised. The minor Turk
ish officials are not content with
wholesale confiscation, contrary to
treaty guarantees, but they have now
undertaken to revise the. sacred vol
ume and eliminate such portions as
thew see fit before its circulation IS
permitted All references to the King
dom of Heaven are regarded with
suspicion, and recast or omitted. The
Old Testament gives special offence.
It's promises regarding the restora-
ton of the Jews to Palestine are con-
sidered rank treason to the Turk, who
now holds the land. The revised edl-
ton is to say nothing about Jew or He
brew, or the law of the Jews, the law
of Islam having superseded it. Sir
Clare Ford, the British Minister, has
protested to the Sultan against this
course.
President Arms told the dairymen
in session at Morrisville that although
the present average of butter produc-
ton per COW in this state is 14Op pounds,
he expected it would soon be increas-
ed to an even 200 pounds. This i'm
provement is to come about by the
use of better machinery, as we'll as
through better knowledge of how to
feed and breed dairy stock and how
to make high grade butter. The full
fllment of President Arms prediction
is something for which the dairymen
of Vermont can we'll afford to strive.
Every advance among the dairy in
terests has an effect that is felt all over
the state.
