MIR. Kearn's Dreaming Crow.
FLORIDA Times-Union. !

Yves Hearn has crow, and he is the
gawkiest oldest, ugliest, but withal,
the smartest bird one ever saw. He has
learned the accomplishments Of men
so we'll that he now Enthusiastically
has nightmares.
The crow during the odd hours of his
willing and luxurious captivity has dug
a hole in the wall, in which be deposits
dainty morsels for the future when bis
appetite is not satiated.
Yesterday in his hole in the wall he
carefully placed two pieces OF cheese
and three bits of meat. all the while
casting q furtive eye to windward to
see that no one learned the secret of his
hiding place.
This done, he rffiued his feathers,
drew his neck down into them, and
standing on one foot, went fast asleep.
Perhaps the immense quantity of cheese
which he had gorged himself with a
half hour before gave him the indiges-
ton, for he had nightmare right on
the spot.
Suddenly he woke up. and the air
was rent with "Squawk! squawk!" in
quick succession. He danced over in
a furry of excitement to bis hole in the
wall and jammed his bill in it three
times. Everything was there. Nothing
had been stolen. He sidled over to his
perch, scratched his bill with his foot
in meditative way. as much as to say
"Well. I'll be-" and, rut1iing his
feathers into rnuf, drew himself into
them, supported the whole Oh one leg,
and was soon again in the land of nod.

The Coming Fashion for Ladies.

This is what is commonly conceded
to be the most difficult epoch of the
year in the realms of fashion, for, while
ali modes seem to in an undecided
state, yet everybody is most anxious
to l.arn what turn the new fashions
will take since all those interested on
this subject must be preparing for the
coming season-the busiest OF the year.
In their eagerness to secure novel ideas
many dressmakers cross the ocean, q
still greater number turn their eyes
toward New York, while the majority
are anxiously inquirirg from every
possible quarter in order to obtain the
much desired information. Now it is
undoubtedly true that the surest, most
convenient and practical way of attain
ing this end is to become subscriber of
substantial fashion magazine, whose
information is reliable and which offers
the greatest variety of subjects. Such
magazine-or rather magazines-are
the well-known Mcdowell French
Fashion Periodicals-the best and most
popular of the kind, both il the old
world and il his country. "La Mode
de Paris" and "Paris Album Of
Fashion," cost $3.50 each per annum,
or 35 cents e copy. "The French Dress
maker" is So 90 per year, ar 80 cents a
copy. ola Mode" family journal,
with colored plates, unequalled in price
and artistic merit, costs only sl.50 per
year or Is cents copy. The three first
mentioned publications offer each Sl.0O
worth Of coupon patterns and La
Mode" fifty cents worth of the same as
81 premium for yearly subscription.
If you are unable to procure any of
these journals from your newsdealer
do not take any substitute from him
but apply by mail to Messrs. A. Nc
Dowell & Co., West l4th Street, New
York.

Tsld by a photographer.
1Courier-JOurnal.l

This is a photographers story:
"About year ago young man en-
ployed in railroad office came in and
bad his picture taken. About the same
time beautiful young woman from an
interior town came in and had hers
taken also; both left the order desiring
me to send them to their address as
soon as finished. In the book my clerk
put the initial of the first name and
wrote the surname in full. It happened
both had the same last name: the
young mans name was John Hand
the young woman's Julia H. When
the pictures were mailed there was a
mistake, the young man getting the
young woman's pictures, and vice
versa.
Now, out of this incident quite a
love affair has grown, the young people
having fallen in love with one aDother
at sight of the pictures. They CORES
ponded for several months. Some time
ago the young man bought a solitaire
diamond ring, and now he has ordered
his wedding suit. That is what I call
a first-class romance. The best of it all
is that the couple are we'll suited in
every respect and both are of good
families.n

KILLED BY A CONSTRUCTOR.
A Georgia Boy Crushed to Death By q
Huge Snake.
1Augusta Chronicle. !

MACON Ga, Aug. 17.-Tobe Wesley
of TWiggs county came to Macon to-
day to buy coffin for his seven-year-
old son, who was crushed to death by
a huge snake late Thursday after
noon.
The boy had gone to the field with
his father, and while his father was at
work wandered off a short distance and
climbed a muscadine vine as was his
habit. On being unable to find the boy
when he had finished bis work about
shutdown, the father went to the house
expecting to find him there, but was
informed by his wife that the boy had
not been home since he left the house
with his father Feeling no uneasiness
Wesley, knowing the habit of his boy,
went back to the field, which was on
the edge of dense swamp bordered
with muscadine vines, and began
searching the vines where he had last
seen the boy. By looking up in the
vines he was not long in finding him,
but when he called the boy failed to
answer. After calling two or three
times and receiving no answer the
father shook the vine, and to his horror
saw what be had supposed to DO one Of
the branches of the vine that was sup
porting his son, begin to uncoil.
Realizing that his son was in the coil
of huge snake Wesley stood rooted to
the spot, and before he could recover
bis senses the snake completely un-
coiled and the boy fell to the ground,
a distance of nine or ten feet. Wesley
picked the child up and ran from under
the vines to the clearing. There his
worst fears were realized. The child
was dead. On being carried to the
house and further examination made,
it was found that the child's breast had
been crushed and that its tongue and
eyes were protruding as though it had
been choked to death.
Wesley is of the opinion that the boy
was asleep when the snake coiled about
him and gradually crushed his life out.
Wesley does not know what kind Of a
snake it was, as he did not see it after
his son fell.

AN INTERESTING CASE.
The Bouknight Suit Before Special
Referee.
TThe State, 18th instant.

Capt. w. X. Bachman, as special
referee, appointed by Judge Simonton
to take testimony and hear arguments
in the case of J. II. Bouknight Of
Edgefeld, against the Southern Rail-
way Company, bad an interesting
hearing in his Office yesterday.
Mr.. Bouknight claims that the
Southern Railway Company are liable
for g. claim of $4,000 for damages
which he recovered against the &. g..
& A. Railroad Company, when it was
under the management of the K. q u.
1t will be remembered that when the
Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
Railroad was sold in July, before any
bids for it were made Lawyer VerGery
of Augusta gave notice of claim of
$4,000 for damages which Mr.. J. II.
Bouknight held against the road, and
stated that the purchaser Of the road
would he held liable for the claim. The
Southern bought the road in and MIR.
Verdery as attorney for Mr.. Bouknight
claims that the Southern Railway
Company is liable for that amount.
It seems that Mr.. Bouknlght bad
one of his feet cut off in Augusta in
November, 1891, by one of the trains of
the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
Railway Company. He sued the COM
pany for $4,000 damages and was
awarded SIS, 700, which Judge Wither-
spoon refused to allow, and ordered a
new trial unless the plaintiff would re-
NIT all above 10000. This the plaintiff
agreed to do, and the Supreme Court,
in a decision filed July Sd, sustained
the ruling of Judge Witherspoon, and
the verdict of $4,000.
Under the notice mentioned above,
Mr.. Bougnight claimed this amount
to be due him from the Southern Rail-
way Company, as purchasers of the
Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Rail-
road, alleging that his Claim is prior
lien on that road to the judgment
under which tie road was sold to the
Southern Railway. Mr.. B. L. Abney
and the Hon. H. Crawford, Of Chicago,
were heard for the Southern Railway,
and Mr.. Verdery for Mr.. Bouknight.
Capt. Bachman, under section 1923, of
the General Statutes, found for the
plaintiff. and if Judge Simonton con-
firms Capt. Bachman's report, the
Southern Railway Company will have
the claim to pay.

lSt. Louis Globe-Democrat.! !

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 1.-THE erec-
ton of the magnificent canopy over the
high altar of Our Lady in the shrine of

pillars to support it are each of a solid
block of polished Scotch granite weigh
ing seven tons. The diameter of each

Catholic Church edifces of the world.
The solid silver altar railing weighs
twenty-six tons, and many millions of
dollars are in other ways represented in
the palatial place of worship.

Dots from st. Phillips.

A good deal of sickness is the general
complaint.
Onr protracted meeting begins next
Saturday evening.
The ''efa of good feeling" is nearly
over-cotton IS beginning to open.
Big meeting at Bethlehem, Enoree
and Lebanon last Sunday, and lots OF
US attended each meeting.
Great catamounts! The whooping
cough winks detiantly at US from every
point of the compass, but of one thing
we are certain, we are not going to
tinker with it; therefore if it takes US
we are not very apt to take it, it will
have to do so on the "fy."
A young voter has pitched his tent
in this neighborhood. Welcome friend.
Learning of the picnic at Pomaria on
the 18th we gathered ourself together
on that morning and journeyed thither-
ward and arrived in due time to see the
boys drill-and considering the few
months that they have been organized
they can drill too. Dancing, an after
noon drill and match game of base
ball completed the exercises of the day
and then we journeyed homeward.
When we think of what might have
been the result we cannot help but put
on a serious kind of look. But when
we think of how it really did turn out
it is quite amusing. Some little sisters
though not so very little mind-tooh
their baby sister to ride in the baby
carriage with a bright colored shade
attached. Merriiy up the road they 60.
But listen! the sound of buggy wheels
and then top buggy in which is seated
one of our prominent men moves upon
the stage and then the play begins. The
mule being kind of skittish we presume
and seeing the baby carriage takes
fright and in the middle of wink he
faces to the right and goes double
uuickirg to the rear through our neigh
bor's cornfeld like as if the whole con-
Germ had been shot out of gun-at
astonishing rate ofspeed to be sure.
After turning two rows Of corn in
side-out the party gradually made to a
walk, got into the road and went back
the way they had come which shows
that while the mule was frightened the
man must have been doub)y frightened,
first, at the baby carriage and second
at the extraordinary proceedings of the
mule. JOSH TRUMP.
