Tourists visiting the Indian and
Banana rivers in Florida are aston
ished and amazed at the antics of the
mullets of those streams. These fish
grow to be five or six pounds in
weight, and are famous jumpers
They leap from the water, shoot three
or four feet through the air, come ur
again and leap twice as far, and keen
on for q half dozen Of leaps, each
longer than the other. Now and then
a mullet takes q leap of Is or 20 feet
and disappears. It happens not in.
frequently that q leaping mullet falls
into q passing boat.

"Some time ago." remarked a
Louisville lawyer to the Courier
Journal, II had occasion to visit
Texas. I stopped at a little town on
Saturday about noon, intending to
remain there till Monday morning.
"The proprietor Of the hotel was a
gray haired fellow, we'll preserved,
and apparently full of energy. I was
consequently not very greatly sur
prfsed when he informed me that he
also was a lawyer. He had big,
stout wife, and it struck me that he

little town, and, needing collar,
stopped in one of the two or three dry
goods stores to buy one. 1 must con.
Tess that I was somewhat staggered
when 1 found that the hotel.keeper,
besides being lawyer, was a clerk in
dry goods store-for it was he who
smiled blandly at me over the
counter.
~ extended my walk until night
was falling, and as approached the
hotel, whom did I see lighting the oil
lamps in the main street but the
hotel proprietor. The next morning
which was Sunday, inquired Of him
the way to church. Come on said
he, I'll show you.' He took me into
the church and showed me to a seat.
after which he disappeared, saying
he must go and ring the bell. In a
few moments it was pealing forth its
pleading, Come, oh, come and soon
the congregation had gathered. I
was prepared for anything almost,
after what I had seen of mine hosts
versatility, and was not much sur
prised when he ascended the stairs of
the pulpit and opened services.
"Then he came down again and
manipulated the keys of the wheezy
little organ while the congregation
sang. He than took up the collection,
after which he again resumed the
pulpit and preached as fine gospel
sermon as l have ever heard. When
services were over and his flock had
been dismissed with a fervent prayer
the preacher closed up the church.
"What sort of a man is Mr.. So-and-
So, anyhow? ! asked of a lawyer.
"'Oh,' he answered, she runs the

men, more or less, and is the best

Kentucky, too"

Cleveland as a Kid.

Milwaukee Sentinel: The most
modern of contemporary sciences, the
science of origins, has at last been
brought to bear upon Mr.. Cleveland,
who is probably interesting today to
more of his countrymen than any
other American citizen. John H.
Greusel, accompanied by an artist,
having visited Fayetteville, the
little New York town, nine miles
from Syracuse, where Mr.. Cleveland
passed his school boy days, and inter-
viewed nearly everybody who remem-
bercd him, has collected the imforma-
tion thus obtained for the enliven-
ment of the readers of Once a Week.
Reduced to the briefest form the
information which he gathered
amounts to this: Grover was a
chubby boy, with face so glowing
that he always seemed to have a rus.,
of blood to his cheeks. He was
playful, good natured and happy.
He was neither very good, very bad
nor very bright. His first position,
which he doubtless assumed with a
sense of responsibility, was in a gen.
eral country store kept Ey one John
McNickar, who sold, among other
things, drugs and pearl barley. His
salary, which was $50 year, he
earned by waiting on customers, OPEN
ing, closing and sweeping out the
store, running errands and doing
little jobs for the neighbors. Such
was MIR. Cleveland's life by day. BY
night he reposed, or strove to repose,
in a large, unfinished room upon a
plain pine bed. On this bed was a
tick stuffed with straw and on this
tick was Grover Cleveland. This
straw chad the uncomfortable
popularity Of accumulatiny in knobs
here and there" and Mr.. C!eycland's
bed fellow recalls chow often in the
night Grover would stir uneasily in
his hard bed, maybe even getting up
and with his hand reaching down to
remove the troublesome lump upon
which lie had been resting" In
those days Mr.. Cleveland was wont to
get up from this bed OF ease at 5 in
summer and $50 in winter, and to 90
out in the square and wash his face
and hands in the trough of the pump,
a green pump. One fight into which
Mr.. Cleveland was drawn by his
propensity to put pins in the chair of
a larger Toy, is recorded, and in this
the larger boy came off victorious.
On one point all of Mr.. Clevcland's
acquaintances, including the school,
mistress, who had the privilege of
instructing him, are agreed. They
say che was in no wise remarkable at
his books" This is less strange In
itself than in the circumstance that
it is affirmed without a dissenting
voice.

The Drawbridse Keeper. Hero,,m.

Drecker, while stationed at his
post of duty at the drawbridge above
the Passaic river, heard the whistle
of an approaching express train. In
his haste to close the draw, which he
had opened for a passing shin, he
knocked his six-year-old boy into the
river. What should he do? Save his
only boy or the trainload of passengers
rushing toward the open chasm?
What mental agony was involved in
the choice! Nothing but a high
sense Of moral duty and with quick
action could save the passengers. As
the child sank from his view Drecker
swung the heavy draw into place and
then only did he spring into the
river after his child. 1t was too
late, but a train crowded with
passengers whirled past in safety
and ignorant of the gatekeeper's
heroism. This seems to me the
bravest act l ever personally knew

HARD ON BOSTON.
Views Of the West Entertained by Peon,.
of the Hub.

of the Hub.
Zone Of the amusing things of life
of my life, at any rate-is the pity that
Eastern people feel for the residents
of the West. Women frequently, and
with a rudeness OF which they seem
to be sublimely unconscious, put
their pity into words-and they
really pass very nicely for gentle
women, too: but gentlemen, never.
II you wish to startle both out of
their seven senses, tell them very
heartily and happily that you have
always lived in the West," writes
Ella Higginson in a breezy, witty
paper in the April New Peterson.
"My experience is that the most
inconsiderate people come from
Boston, and are usually women.
They are also the most amusing.
do not say that they live in Boston,
for I have never met them there: but
meet them in the West very often,
and they certainly say that they are
from Boston. However, must con-
fess that it has also been my ex-
perience that every one who has
lived within a thousand miles from
Boston, and spent one week or
fraction thereof under Boston roof,
is straight from Boston by the time
he reaches the Pacific coast. This
must be because they are uncertain
as to their own merits, and prefer to
trust TO Boston's to carry them
through. AT any rate, it is worse
than useless: because the one alto
gether beautiful and desirable thing
about the West is that it doesn't care
a totem-stick where you are from,
who your father was, or who your
mothers great-aunt was, or indeed
whether you ever had either, SO long
as you are bright and good yourself.
81 must say here that have OF
course met few very well-bred
people from Boston, who could not
have been induced to say to us per.
sonally anything touching upon the
land that is dear to us that could
hurt us; but, until have met more,
I shall be doubtful as to whether
Boston's much talked of refinement
is real or only affected"

A PHYSICIANS CRIME.
Rector Feltner Murdered And Placed In
Eis Wife's Grave.

Among the private papers of the
late DIR. Francois Foutenay of Clarks-
Vile, Tenn, has been found his
written confession of the murder,
twenty-eight years ago, of Rev. A. NJ.
Feltner, rector of the Episcopal
Church, who disappeared myster-
iously in 1865. A diligcnt search by
his friends, aided by detectives, failed
to furnish any clew to what had
become of him. His wife had just
died, but beyond that no cause for
melancholy was known, and nothing
could he learned to indicate any
motive for going away so strangely.
DIR. FOutenay was Mrs. Feltner's
physician, and had become greatly
interested in the case because of
some peculiar features that appealed
to his professional zeal. When Mrs.
Feltner died he yielded to the
temptation to steal the body for an
autopsy. He had removed it from
the grave and was preparing to put
back the dirt when he received a
stunning blow from behind. Wheel
ing round, he found himself face to
face with Feltner.
The rector again attacked him, and
to defend himself, knowing that pro-
tests would be useless, the doctor
seized the shovel and struck his
assailant on the head, hoping to stun
him and escape. The blow crushed
the temple bone, causing instant
death. The Mortified murderer placed
the body in the empty coffin and
leflled the grave. Rain washed
away all traces of the work and the
strange disappearance was soon al
most forgotten.
DIR. Foutenay completed his autopsy
with great advantage to science. He
adopted his victims two children,
both of whom are living. The
daughter is married to state
official. The son is in the government
service. DR.. Foutenay was wealthy
bachelor and left them his fortune.
Mrs. Feltner's body was found where
the confession said it had been
buried, in the cellar, and reinterred
beside that of her husband.

1t is agreeable to know that rela-
tions of perfect harmony have been
established between the national and
local quarantine authorities. AT
their conference in Washington they
agreed on mutual regulations with
unanimity. These regulations will
soon be published. In view of the
possible coming of cholera the great
est disgrace and calamity that could
befall the country would be pickering
and squabbling among health officers.

A Pulpit Romance.

The Rev. DR.. James Redman, of
New York, while filling by invitation
the pulpit of the Rev. Samuel Fried
man in Andover, near Roxburgh, Pa,
on Easter Sunday, was reunited with
his wife. They had been parted by
the Chicago fire and each believed
the other dead.
DIR. Redman had progressed about
half way through his sermon in An
dover Congregational church, when
a middle-aged woman in the congre-
CATION suddenly tainted. He paid
very little attention to the incident
and members of the church carried
the woman into the vestry. When
the services were concluded, DR.. Red
man was asked to step into Mr.. Fried
mans private study. There, from
surprise and JOY, the minister nearly
followed the example of his new found
wife in fainting.
The woman has married since their
separation by the great fire. Her
second husband, Robert Cass, has
died. DIR. Redman had never mar
ried.
AT the time of the fire lie was in
jured and lay long time in the
house of friend with brain fever.
When he recovered all trace of his
wife was gone. The husband gave up
commercial life afterward and en-.
tered the ministry.

Finally it was decided to send for the

to this and together put up the

THE GEORGIA WAY.

THE GEORGIA WAY.
Congressman watson's Paper Sums One
Days Crimes.
Atlanta Peoples Party Paper:
Georgia seems to be in the throes of
an epidemic of crime. One issue of
the Constitution gives the details of
almost enough murdered negroes to
people small village. Little notice
is taken of the less sensational
crimes, where negroes have been
driven into hiding and forced to
sacrifice not only whatever thsy may
have accumulated, but all prospect OF
reward for their labor.
Nothing can be more certain than
that these outrages originate and are
encouraged in the condition of public
sentiment that justified the demo-
cratic campaign methods last fall.
Rotten eggs, false atlidavits, and
wholesale lying by partisan press,
followed by the illegal use of whisky,
ballot box stuffing, intimidation,
fraudulent voting and an intolerance
unexampled in American politics,
has affected the minds of light
minded men all over the state, until
the right to individual opinion is lost
sight of.
A party of white men in Baker
county went to the house of negro
named Bill Davis and preceded to
search the premises for meat alleged
to have been stolen. Davis went to
his brother for help, and with him
returned to the house. The brother
was shot dead by the intruders, and
Bill was stabbed in twenty places and
left for dead, though he NAV live.
The white men are described as not
masked, but "not definitely known -
Baker county furnishes the second
instance. A white man named
Collins shot a negro man named
White through the heart. 1t seems
that White was employed by Collins,
and accompanied him to Newton on
Saturday, when Collins got drunk
and threatened to clear out the town.
White got him toward home, and
across the ferry. Collins changed
his mind and wished to return.
White endeavored to induce him to
go home, but Collins was frenzied
with drink and shot him dead. The
coroner decided that it was an
accident.
Again, Baker county comes to the
front. A party of masked men
visited Lyons place, hunting for a
negro whom they desired to put out
of the way. They slipped around
until they found several negroes
together in the moonshine. Mistak-
ing man named Green Davis for the
man they sought, they opened fire on
him, riddling him with bullets and
killing him instantly. This un-
fortunate accident was considered of
sufficient Importance to justify lead
ing out in the CONSTITUTIONS account.
Newton county comes next.
Thomas Henderson had claim Of
$3.50 against Tom Jordan. The negro
seemed to have an idea that Hender-
son was the kind of a collector to be
feared. Any way, the coroner dis
covered on examination that Jordan
was dead with bullet hole in his
back. Henderson is in Jail.
Hugh Malone, white man, shot
and killed two negroes near Inman,
in Fayett county on Saturday. The
negroes were Sing Gay and Aaron
Prater. They were together eating
dinner when Malone came up, picked
quarrel with them, and when they
started to leave him, shot first Prater
and then Gay. Malone claims the
shooting was in self defense. He has
not been arrested.
