"Wednesday afternoon Daniel
Le&therman had very narrow es-
cape from death by lightning. He
was on his way to his home when a
shower came up and to escape it he
went into the one room frame house
on the Smiley Irwin ranch. Ee had
been there some time and was about
to leave, the shower being over when
bolt struck the building shattering
it in all its parts and shocking him
badly. He was able TO ride home,
but was so i'll during the night that
his family feared he would not live.
He is now about as usual. but still
feels the effects of the fluid. A boy
nine years old, son of John Maddy
was with him but he escaped without
injury.

The New Orleans Picoyune of Sun
day, after reviewing briefly the disturb
ed condition OF a portion Of Alabama
made by the deviltries Of squads of bad
white men, who rob, steal, kill and
murder, and alluding to the white cap
outrages in this State and Louisiana,
suggests the practicability CT organ
izing company of Estate Rangers
after the plan of Texas just after the
war. To suppress the outlaws who had
fled thither was found a job in Texas
beyond the means Of the civil authori-
ties at that time. We dislike to &C.
knowledge the weakness OF the civil
authorities in any part Of our State, but
that such an organization composed of
true, brave men in numbers sufficient
TO meet and subdue any band Of robbers
or outlaws that might assemble would
be equal to the task. They could d.
vide into squads in their movements,
but meet at given points. Such a state
Of things as exist in parts of Kentucky,
Alabama, and not long since in Missis-
sippi, are lisgraceful to any law-abid-
ing country, and should be put down
at all hazards and to the last extremity.

Since Jim COrbet at New Orleans,
beat the stutfin out of John L. Sullivan,
the proud bully boy of the prize ring,
bearing the golden belt of the conquer
er, he seems on the down grade, both
of money and reputation until he has
lost what little courage success gave
him. Last Monday in New York, he
invited crowd to take drink in u
New York saloon and because one OF
the party refused, he began abusing
him until he got near enough to knock
him down, which he did promptly.
Butthe man-McC Clusky, by name, right
ed up with a pistol in his hand and
the great champion Of former days flew
from the scene with terror that old
Belzebub might have inspired, and
with extra speed just had time enough
to escape the bullet of the insulted
and injured man. It will not be long,
If he is not killed, before John L. will
be shoeing horses for a living.

The cotton crop from present ap-
pearances promises to be very large,
but our farmers need not fear that
there will be no money to buy 1t and
move it. Let us say in aevance, begin
picking your cotton clean, clear Of ev-
erything that will make it dirty and
trashy. Nice, clean picked cotton
always makes the best samples, and
such samples always bring the highest
prices. The rains which began to fall
generally about two weeks ago have
injured the crop some.

We learn from an exchange that the
harvester was invented by Mccormick
In 1881. Since that time this machine
has been brought to such perfection
that 1t is said, it will cut and bind an
acre Of grain in forty-five minutes. To
such an extent has machinery SUPER
coded hand work in the grain farms Of
the northwest that it is estimated that
the labor Of one man will raise enough
grain to support thousand men for a
year, while the labor Of q second will
transport 1t to market, and that Of a
third will prepare 1t for food.

A Strange, Disgusting, but Profitable Pur-
suit.

We have heard Of many odd ways of
making Il living, and many adventurous
methods of making a fortune, but Don
Allen and his wife, Launa, have hit
upon the most inconceivable Of all
original thoughts in this direction;
and what is more, they are making
more money than any Mississippi cot
ton planter. Their business is catch
ing and selling snakes alive, and using
their oil and skins when dead. They
capture any sort, no matter how gentle
or vicious, how venomous or harmless.
For 12 years the man has been engaged
in the horrible business, and has made
much money. On the Arkansas river
in a boat, he and his spouse have float
ed leisurely since last November, and
near Little Rock, they had captured
1900 when their boat sunk, in which
they lost $50 Of the reptiles. They
sell to museums and other shows, but
their great market Is the Chaduck
snake farm near Springfield, Mo-,
where snakes are bred. They have IS
persons and 7 house boats employed in
this, to us, disgusting business, and
yet Miss Launa handles them in her
hands, and around her neck as though
they were strings Of bright, harmless
Venetian beads, and is never bitten.
The rattlesnake is the only one that
yields oil, which brings from druggists
SS4 q pint. The venom, or poison of
the snakes is worth $98 q drachm. On
Monday these wealthy snake dealers
were in Memphis on their way to the
snake farm in Missouri. They have
set times to feed these reptiles, and
handle them as though they were little
kittens. Here is 4 chance for business
in these hard times for all that want
employment. 80 ', N

Hon. ". Q. r. Brseksnridgs ssrd for
Brsoch oe gromise and 6ei1action.

We can but sympathize with any
man Or woman who has beon an honor
able and useful person, 30 far a. the
public is informed, to have suddenly y
cloud shadowy and dark thrown over
their lives which may eventuate in
ruin-perhaps for all time. Such q
condition has befallen the name Of Hon
W. c. p Breckenridge, the silver
tongued orator Of Kentucky, when he
was sued in the United States Court at
Washington City, by Miss Madeline
Pollard for breach Of promise and Sc
duction for $4,000 90, at the close Of
the last week. Although this event
dates back several years, when Miss
Pollard was a seventeen year old
school girl, and although she acknowl-
edges that she has borne him three
children, it loses nothing Of its serious
nature. In fact this rather complicates
the case and endows it with greater
weight Of consequence. The disparity
between the age Of the thoughtless
school girl and the ripe age Of the
lawyer and statesman, throws the re-
sponsibility upon him in the main.
Another conspicuous condition in this
lamentable case, is that during these
years Of criminal association between
the parties, Mr.. Breckenridge has
been an elder in the Presbyterian
Church, and has figured on many occa-
sions where beneyolence, religion and
personal purity were beautifully and
touchingly set forth. To be presented
with the ruincus effects growing out OF
this inevitable shame and scandal,
must if true, sink him to the depths Of
sorrow. But what Of the once happy
girl, who was ruined during these long,
silent intervening years Of tears and
sobs with the grave if she dared enter
it by her own hand, the most coveted
asylum in which to bury her shame
with her body. While we sympathize
with the strong, brave man, our soul
kindles with feelings Of deepest COM
passion for the injured, ruined woman,
and we hope the Court will make him
render all the compensation that his
money can tender to requite the
wrongs she has suffered at his hands.
The Grenada sentinel., 1893-08-19

It Is said on good authority that Gen
Washington while a member Of the
Colonial Legislature in Virginia, nor
DR.. Franklin while a member Of early
Congress, ever made speech Of more
than ten minutes long. Would to
Heaven that this rule was obtained
now, not only in Congress, but in all of
our public assemblies. So great is
speaking in favor amongst Americans,
that boys at school who develop the
least talent for defamation, are at once
set aside for the ministry or the law.
A boy may have a wonderful fine ad-
dress with sweet melifulous voice
and have the gift of easy and natural
gesticulation and then be mentally dis
qualified to make an orator. We are
in favor of eloquence when one has to
speak, but are dramatically, perpendic-
ularly and circumferentially opposed
to any speaker boaring an assembly
with long speech, and did not a
majority OF them speak to please them
selves more than to throw light upon
the subject of discussion, we could be
more tolerant Of their longwinded
harrangues.
While the love Of speaking, with the
eclat that follows it when it is we'll
done, is leading the majority of young
men who have any native power in that
line to the profession Of the law or the
pulpit, it is the curse Of our American
lawgivers and statesmen. But for the
long speeches in Congress, the business
could be done in one-half of the time
and much useless expense saved the
country, and, although they receive
fixed salaries, there are millions Of
dollars that would redown to the
National Treasury were the sessions
one-half the length. This evil instead
OF mitigating is increasing. Think of
fourteen days being appropriated for
the blowing off of this intellectual gas
before they leave that delightful field
where the young American statesman
loves to rove on his mounted Pegasus,
plucking flowers OF rhetoric as they
vegetate and bloom on his checkered
pathway. In his career OF legislation,
he is oftener moved by the cunning and
personal ambition OF Mark Antony
than the blunt, but deep-toned patriot
sm of Brutus.
American spread eagle oratory is a
cheap thing among our older and more
practical Legislators, lawyers and other
public speakers in Englaod and Ger
many. Congress does sometimes limit
he length of speeches, and it would be
we'll for the country if they would
ldopt some general law making all
'peeches less discuasive and more con-
,rete and pointed. Gladstone is cele-
'rated for his great, butsRort speeches,
md we believe the same of Bismark,
compared with our Ameri-
IAN statesman.
