Had 'Possums for Sale,

The regular passenger train was going
west from Griffin and was about forty
minutes late, and the engineer was trying
to make up lost time and consequently
running fifty miles an hour. He was hor-
riied to see just about two hundred yards
ahead of him, just as he turned a curve
before he got to Whitewater Creek, man
OF the track waving his coat across the
track and over his head and seemed to be
very much excited. The engineer, think

burned or fallen IN, applied his air-brakes

fireman to jump. They both landed safe

How was it so called2 The Germans &C.
count for it by quite pathetic romance.
It seems that once upon time knight
and lady were walking by the bank OF
the Danube when the latter asked her

flower which she saw growing in the
stream. No sooner said than done, but
the knight, overwhelming, fell into the
river, and owing to the slippery nature
of the bank and the weight of its own ar.

The japanese believe in more mythical
creatures than any other people on the
globe, civilized or savage. Among these
are mythical animals without any re
markable peculiarities of conformation,
but gifted with supernatural attributes,
such as the tiger which is said to turn as
white as polar bear on the date of his one
thousandth birthday. They also believe
in species of fox which if it lives to be 80
years old without having been chased by
dog transforms itself into beautiful
woman This same fox, if he can man
age to live for a century, gains additional
powers, such as becoming wonderful
wizard, etc. When he lives to be 200
years old, he becomes Celestial fox"
with nine golden tails, and has the power
of going to heaven and returning when
ever he chooses.
These Japs also believe in multitude
of animals distinguished by their mon
strous size or by the multiplication Of
their members. Among these are SER
penis 800 feet long and large enough to
swallow an elephant; boxes with eight
legs; monkeys with four ears and seven
uails; fishes with 10 heads attached to one
body, the flesh of this last monster being
a sure cure for boils, bites of poisonous
serpents, hydrophobia, etc. - Philadel-

SUSPENSION OF COINAGE.

/
| WASHINGTON, May 25.-Owirs- 20
the small amount of gold SuIilon de-
posted and the neavy expense Of
coinage at 'ne United States mint at
Casson City, New, Secretary Carlisle
has directed the suspension of COIN
age operations there after the lst prox.
A reduction of force of employees at
the United States mints at Philadel-
phia and New Orleans will probably
be made in the near future. With
the suspension of coinage at Carson
City the coinage of silver dollars will
be discontinued for the present, as
there is no demand for this class of
money.
INDIAN LANDS CONVEYED.
President Cleveland has approved
the deeds of the Choctaw and Chicka-
saw nations for their right and title
to leased lands in the Indian Terri.
tory formerly occupied by the Chey.
enne and Arapahoe Indians, but now
constituting q portion of Oklahoma
Territory. These nations were re-
Quilted to execute releases and convey.
ances to extinguish their claim in
manner and form satisfactory to the
president. President Harrison de-
clined to approve the deeds submit
ted for the release of the lands. The
approval of President Cleveland
makes the appropriation Immediately

Chicasaw nations.

AS q result of District ATTORNEY

General Olney, he took away with
him last night explicit instructions
that If he finds on his arrival in

hers to its decision to open the Worlds

CHINESE DEPORTATION
Acknowledgement Olney has re-
ceivsd telegram from New York
stating that Judge Lacombe of the
United States circuit court of New
YORK had decided that section 6 of
the Geary law, though decided to be
constitutional, was still insufficient,
ell because no provision is made as to
how or by whom an order of deporta-
ton of Chinese was to be enacted. This
is said to be new question and was
not reduced or in any way involved
in the previous appeal.

Canning Industries In the South.

One of the smaller industries in which
the south has made considerable progress
of late is canning fruit and vegetables,
and there is room for still greater devel-
opment, as the south is now raising most
of the fruit and vegetables for the whole
country. Scarcely day passes that does
not chronicle the establishment of one
or more canneries in some portion of the
south, and nearly every center of pro-
duction here possesses these factories
now and is able to utilize the surplus
crops by canning them.-New Orleans

Special to the Statesman.
COLEMAN, Tex, May 26.-The Off
GERS as yet, have noclue to the perpe-
traitors of the train robbery. The peo-
pie of Coleman are indignat at the
way the trainmen acted after the rob-
berry. When the train came back
past the depot they only told
the night operator the train
had been robbed, leaving no descrip'
tion or details for the officers to work
on, hence the officers were powerless
till today. Many OF our people re-
garded the robbery as sell on &C.
count OF the actions of the trainmen.
Dogs were taken to the place where
the robbers were said to have jumped
off the car, but they could not follow
the trail.

A PETITION.

My little grandson three years old
Sleeps by my bedside nightly.
Through the long hours of dark and cold
Dreaming. he slumbers lightly.
He feels my love around him fold
And in its heart reposes,
Upon his hair a CLEAN of gold.
His cheeks like damask roses.
Oft through the chill and silent nipbt
l stretch hand caressing
To draw the blanket warm and lipht
About him with blessing.
In sleep he feels that touch so sweet
So lingering and tender,
Turns bis dear face my palm to meet
With soft and glad surrender.
o God of pity and of love,
Have patience with our blindness;
Thy hand is stretched our heads above
Warm with thy watchful kindness.
Give us this baby's perfect faith!
Whatever ills assail US,
Help us to feel in life or death
That thou wilt never fail us.
