Why Larry!
ATLANTA Journal. I

We observe that Mr.. T. Larry CAN'T,
who claims his residence in Athens,
Georgia, and edits the Register in
Columbia, South Carolina, has been
chosen to carry to Washington the
electoral vote Of the latter state.
Mr.. CAN'T secured this honor after a
hard struggle and by a majority Of
one vote. One very stubborn elector
refused to sign Mr.. Gaptt's commits
sion, but wesuppose be will so along to
Washington with his big envelope all
the same.
Mr.. Gantt's appearance in the role of
Cleveland and Stevenson Mercury is,
under the circumstances, very amusing.
Only few months ago be was firing
out whole columns of slugged editorials
designed to convince the people OF
South Carolina that Grover Cleveland
was one of the worst and most danger
Gus men alive, and that he was no
Democrat at all. Colonel CAN'T asserted
hysterically and argued vehemently
that ifthe Democratic party nominated
Mr.. Cleveland it would not only de-
serve defeat but would certainly get it
in full measure.
! In view of Colonel Gsntt's candida
cy for the electoral messengership the
Charleston News and Courier few
days ago was unkind enough to publish
some choice extracts from the colonels
ferocious attacks on Mr.. Cleveland, but
we will spare the colouel and the pub
lie this ipfiction.
| We hope Colonel Gantt's trip to
Washington viii; be pleasant and profit
able.

FROM the Atlanta Constitution.
There IS musical genius in the Geor-
gia Congressional delegation. Col.
Livingston plays tne flute. The Colo.
mel has an old flute that has seen ser.
vice for many years, but is still mellow
in tone, and its notes are always true
The Colonel's flute playing is, however;
a secret. He never plays in public,
but in the sec:Hsion of his room, with
the door locked and the windows closed
the Colonel often performs in tone:
that are certainly captivating to the

4 Strange Accident.

From the Richmond Dispatch.]
BRISTOL, Jan. 6.-News reached here
OF a singular tragedy in Buchanan
county, Va, on Tuesday. Charles Car
roll, an Illicit distiller, was being pur-
sued by two Upited States revenue
officers. He took refuge in a vacant
barn, and, after barring the door, was
peeping out through an obiique knot-
hole in the door. Before coming ID
view of him one Of the officers laid a
wager that he could hit the knothoie,
aud drew his Winchester and fred.
The noise Of his falling attracted the
officers, and they broke down the door
to find Carroll gasping in the agonies of
death. Carroll was about 35 years
old.

CRICAGo'S UNIVERSITY.
a Great Institution toTYhich John D. Rock
efeller Gave S3,e0o,oGo.

From the st. Louis Repubiic.l
The biggest Christmas gift this
year was received py the Univer-
sity of Chicago. It was 100000
in geld bonds bearing 5 per cent.
interest, payable semi-ann aally, and
John D.. Rockefeller was tbe giver.
This makes a total Of $1,000, 900
that MIR. Rockefeller has given to
the University in tie last three
years. His first gift was 100000 in
cash made January l, 1890. II Sep
tember, 1890, be gave 100000 in
cash; February %, 1892, 100000
in gold bonds, and then comes the
present Christmas gift.
= President Harper Of the Univer.
sity Of Chicago said:
The endowment and the value
of the lands, buildings and other
property Of the university now
amount to about 100000 -Four
hundred aad fifty thousand dol!ars
was raised originally by various
people in Chicago to establish the
university. Marshall Field gave
the, campus, which is worth $780,
600.
"fhen Mr.. Field and others gave
100000 in cash fer the erection
of buildings. About half million
has come from the estate Of William
B. Ogden for the establishment OF
the School of Science ia connection
with the university. The Reynolds
estate has given s250,OO0 and Mr.. C.
T. Yerkes gave 100000 for the con-
struction of the great telescope and
observatory. Ofer 100000 has
been received within year.
I'VE expect" continued Mr.. Har-
per, "to have in time such an array
of magnificent buildings as one sees
at Oxford or Cambridge. The. uni
versity is building in the 'nost mas
sive and imposing style. At present
we have three dormitorles, a lecture
hall and gymnasium, 600 students
and 119 professors, assistant profes'
sors and tutors"
Statements that the university at
Ann Arbor would bsinjured by the
new institution at Chicago were in
correct. President Harper said:
"There will be a healthy rivalry
between the two institutions" be
continued. The people of Michi.
igan will be stirred to greater efforts
in support Of their famous uuiver'
sity. President Apgell tod NE that
be expected the gifts to the Univer'
sity of Michigan to largely increase
because of the establishment of the
University of Chicago
Mr.. Gates stated that the tube of
the great telescope for the Univer.
sity of Chicago is now being con-
structed at Pittsburg and will be
mounted and exhibited at the
Worlds Fair. The instrument is

Salt and Civilization.
Extract from Deinorest's for Febru-
arv.i

ary.i
Though playing an unobstrusive
part in human economy, salt has
been a powerful factor in the poll
tics, commerce, and wealth of ma
tions, and it has marked the ad-
yancement of civilization itself.
Liebig once said that the state Of
civilization and the prosperity of a
nation might be measured by the
quantity Of soap it uses; but more
shrewd observer, Schleiden, claims
that a better estimate of a peoples
advancement can be formed from
the amount Of salt they consume.
The first trade-rouses were estab-
lished for the traffic in salt and in
cense; barbaric people waged war
over the possession Of salt-springs;
Venice owed much of her magnih-
cepce to the revenues from her salt
lagoons; while the French Revolu-
ton is indirectly attributed to the
inexorable ga6e!ls, the cruel and ex-
orbitant salt-laws which oppressed
the French people through four
centuries. In Europe, even to-day,
the salt.works are either owned or
controlled By govern ment; while tho
Chinese jealously prohibit both the
export and import Of salt. Thus the
policy of kings, the prosperity OF
nations, the progress of civilization
have hinged upon this unconsidered
triae; but aside from them, COM
mon salt has had, in all times
among all peoples, and in all creeds,
deep religious Significance. The
Greeks and Romans made salt
part of their sacrifices, and it was
offered in direct Precipitation to pla-
cate the gods of the Internal regions.
Among the Hebrews, all flesh sacri-
fees offered in the temple were
seasoned with salt; and the most
binding and sacred compact was the.
SO. called Covenant of Salt" all
such treaties being made over
sacrifcial meal, Of which salt formed
necessary part. The early German
tribes thought the ground holy
where salt was found, and their
prayers more readily heard. in such
places; while to this day the priest
places sal.in the mouth of a person
receiving the Catoholic sacrament
of baptism.
The reason of this deep and far
reaching significance is not far to
seek. Salt, because of its preserva-
tive qualities, has ever been the
symbol of eternity, interruption,
fidelity, wisdom, justice, and peace.
Christ called his disciples the ,''salt
of the earth" meaning that in them
lay the perpe:uity of the Christian
spirit. It had also, particularly in
the Bible, terrible and sinister
meaning, betokening sterility and
irrevocabie ruis, as shown in
the account Of sowing with salt the
site of a city destroyed by serge.
Moreover, salt is the inviolable
symbo! Of hospitality, every meal
including salt-among the ancients,
and in the Orient at the present
day-having a sacred character, and
creating among partakers thereof a
lasting bond of friendship.
"Attie salt" is the conmonest
synonym for wit; and it is recorded
th;t the Romans, who made salt the
symbol of the immortal spirit,
termed mans soul his sakLlum,
I r., salt cellari

Pleasant Reception.

The reception at the Congregational
church parlors on the evening of the 27th
was a most enjoyable affair, pleasant and
happy occasion for the many who came.
1t was reception rendered by the Pastors
catechetlcal class to the teachers; and hosts
hOstesses and guests, numbering more than
one hundred, alike enjoyed themselves.
The program for the evening carried the
idea of the unfolding of the proper life of
the young, and was opened by partaking of
a grand supper, furnished by the ladies of
she church, followed by duet by Mrs.
Hoyer and Miss Mitchell. The literary por-
ton was in three parts. First, Greatest in
Thought, responded to by Mrs. l.. f. Gould;
second, Noble in Conduct by DR.. 'McCor.
mick; third. Christian in Companionshir
by Mrs. j. N. Mcbride. Another pleasing
duet followed by recitation of Our Lords
Prayer, ended the programme. ~
