Hut Mere Requests DOM 90 with
Jailer JamlsOn.

Jailer Jamison.
Henry Smith is a colored man who, it
is believed can control some colored
votes. Yesterday afternoon Smith was
in Justice Frank Carter's court On a
charge of false pretense and was held to
court in 5000 bond. Smith was sent
down to )ailer Jamison's "house under
the hill" The jailer heard Smith say to
someone outside the Jail that he would
work in the coming election for the party
that secured his release,
Late in the afternoon Taller Jamison
received note from Mayor Patton, in
which that official said that if Mr.. lami-
son would release Henry Smith from Gus
tody he, the Mayor, would fix the mat
ter III the morning, and | assure you
will! stand between you and all danger"
The ailer declined to grant the re
quest, informing the II messenger that
nothing but an order for release from
the committing magistrate would be
needed. About 10 minutes later. Mr.
Tamison says, the messenger returned
accompanied by Constable Poor, who
assured the jailer that the note was
really from the Mayor and not fake or
forgery. But this did not change mat
tiers, and Mr.. Jamison still declined to
grant the request.
This morning the Mayor became
bondsman for Smith and he was released.
Referring to the matter the Mayor told
THE CITIZEN he had asked Mr.. Jamison
to release him, but the jailer preferred to
wait until the bond was made, Smith
is one of the Mayors tenants and the
Mayor says he had the right to go on
his bond if he felt so dispo Sed.

NAPOLEON AS A GUNNER.
How He Demonstrated His Ability and Dis

How He Demonstrated His Ability and Dis
 comfited His Critics.
 It was in 17S2 that Napoleon, on a visit to his folks at Ajaccio had an opportunity to demonstrate in the presence of the friends of his boyhood the superiority of his knowledge of the practical use of artil- lery. It may easily be believed that he embraced the opportunity with pleasure.
 The officers of the garrison had received from Paris a new mortar, which they were trying on a mark fixed on Aspreto a rocky point opposite the city and across the harbor. They could not hit the target to save their lives. Napoleon said to the spectators: 'They win not succeed Their method is all wrong" The officers did not hear this remark, but after many trials, noting the smile on the young off cers lips, one of them said, with a touch of irony in his voice.
 Monsieur, you are laughing at us. Do you desire to give us display of your su- perior knowledge?'
 Napoleon answered courteously, ''I am very far from laughing at you, but do not approve of your method"
 'Will you show us your methodP" ask ed the officer, with a sheer. ~
 With pleasure" :" B6haparte loaded the mortar carefully with his own hands, quickly measured the distance of the target with his eye alone and touched the fuse.
 The target was shattered, and there was cry of applause from the bystanders, who were not at all troubled to see native Corsican take the wind out of the French mems sails.
 All an accidcntl" cried the officer who had challenged Napoleon to try his skill. "He couldn't do it again in hundred times"
 Do you desire me to attempt it once more?" asked Bonaparte, with the same ironical smile on his face that was destined to aggravate so many enemies among the crowned heads of Europe.
 ''S'il vous plait, !" said the officer.
 Napoleon again lighted the fuse after personally loading the mortar. Again he hit the mark. Then, without waiting for further permission, he tried it the third time, with tho same result. The garrison officers apologized for their impertinenco and inquired if he would tell them in what respect their method had been nt fault.
 With pleasure" answered Napoleon. You simply had too much powder behind the bomb. Try it yourselves with less powder, and you will succeed" The first experiment. showed that he was right. The officers had had good lesson in gunnery, and the people of Ajaccio had been shown that their young hero had not lost his prestige by going to French military academy York Recorder.

 It is impossible to read the most ancient histories of tho Irish saints without notic- ing how large part books play in their lives.
 In the library some cut the sheets of parchment, or even sewed together in the neatcst way the odd shreds, for the monk must not waste the gifts of God, especially when they are rare and dear. They pol ished it oa one side until it was smooth and laid it near the scribe Ohers prepared the peculiar thick inks of the Irish writ CTS, very much like varnish, in different colors. The red was the most beautiful. and after 1, 900 years it yet shines as the day it was first used It was got from kind of cookies collected on the seashore. Then there were black and green and golden inks, used in various thicknesscs by the illuminators and the artists in miniature.
 < All these inks will resist chemicals that corrode iron. The ink was placed in thin conio glasses attached either to the side of the desk or to the chair, sometimes to the girdle of the writer, often fixed to the end of pointed stick placed upright in the ground. It is owing to this peculiar skill in making ink that so many of the old Irish manuscripts have come down to us They were like the cloth of corduroy-un- less cut or burned up they were bound to last for ages--and are an eloquent symbol of that tenacious love of learning and that unquenchable faith which the hand of Patrick wrote in characters incradicable on the very soul, in the very blood and innermcStnInarrow of the Irish race.- lcr.< .yt...

 This is the youngest of Alabama's four white Normal Colleges, but it has already surpassed most schools of the kind in the entire South, having enrolled last year above 400 in the Alt tendance Work of the college, and nearly half as many in the College Extension Work.
 This large growth is due to the excellent facilities afforded and the very low expenses for attendance, board ranging all the way from SS to SIP per monthsonly.
 The Faculty contains l3 Principal Teachers and many assistants, elected from the Senior and Junior Classes for work in the model training school of the college.
 Such experience is invaluable to all prepar- ing to teach, and very much enhances their prospects for securing positions to teach af rewards. The teachers trained in this way are in great demand already, and their work is being appreciated more and more.
