A lady who had long admired the pc
culiarly d;gnified bearing of a certain not
ed judge gladly accepted an invitation to
call upon the eminent jurist at his own
house in the company of one of his init
mate friends. AS they came in front of the
house sounds of great hilarity were heard
within. A mans voice mingled with those
of children in ringing laughter.
The judges grandchildren must be
spending the evening with him." said his
friend.
A moment later the two ladies were
ushered into the parlor, and little fellow
of 6 or years sprang forward.
"Oh, Mrs. H., - he cried, I'VE are having
the most fun! We arc playing bearl He's
in the library now! He'll be in here again
in minute, and you'd better look out, or
he'll eat you up!'
At that moment the bear" appeared
between pair of heavy portieres separat-
ing the parlor from the library. Some one
under an immense bearskin rug, with the
head still on it, was playing the bear.
The children fled, the bear pursuing
them for minute or two amid perfect
pandemonium of shrieks and laughter.
Then the bear suddenly threw OF its
skin, and the caller was amazed but not
bit displeased, to see the great and digni-
fed judge himself on his hands and knees.

Ane CamefS and Monograph csed With

When one of the Australian SQUADRON
was patrolling the South seas. she came
up with sailing vessel, and one of her
officers boarded the stranger. She proved
to be q colonial craft, engaged in recr,,it-
ing Kanakas for the Queensland planta-
tons On board the naval officer noticed
. phonograph. He was told that before the
vessel left Queensland the captain visited
some Of the sugar plantations where South
sea islanders are employed He took a
Camera and monograph, and then he
went into tie business Of photographing
groups Of natives ON the plantations, also
taking individual pictures of well known
natives from the New Hebrides and others
from the solomon group. Edison's inyen-
ton was then brought into service, the
Dest known OF the natives, especially those
VINO have relatives and friends in the Is
lands, being asked to speak into the phone
graph anything they would like to tell
their friends. Large numbers of the pho
nograph letters We're procured, giving ac-
counts OF what sort of life the Kanakas
We're having on the plantations and any
other news that would interest the .sold
folks at home at Mallicollo, Ambrym,
San Christoval, Malaita and other islands,
After securing good supply the ingen-
ious shipmaster sailed for the islands. and
tstonished the natives. Many of the pho
ographs he had transferred to glass for
Use with the lime light, and with the
photographs and the monograph he was in
position to give such an exhibition of
life on plantation as fairly changed the
native doubts into an enthusiastic desire
to emigrate. Nor was this all. At the lime
light show he would produce full sized
picture of an absent friend, native who
was well known in the island in which
the shipmaster happened to be, and to the
amazcment of his dusky audience would
make him speak words of greeting from
his plantation home in Bundaberg-1,O 600
miles away. If any misgivings were felt
before the phonograph was produced, that
bewitched machine dispelled them by max
ing the lime light figure of their friend adj
dress the natives in their own tongue and
in the same voice that they knew SO well
when he dwelt among them Needless to
say, the monograph has proved valuable
recruiting accessory.-Sydney Mail.

The brick house on Winthrop street,
which has been used for some teme past as
a parsonage by the Methodist society has
been sold to Mr.. F. S. Lyman. There will
be meeting of the official board of the
Methodist society and all others interested
in the vestry to see about building new
parsonage. Tha society owns lot on the
east corner of thu church yard which is &C.
cupied by small cottage house. This was
formerly used for parsonage, but for e
number of years past has been rented.
Were 1t to be moved it is thought that suf-
cient room could be had on the lot for a
new and modern building. What action
the society may take is, of course, un-
known but there is every reason to believe
that measures will be taken to build good
new parsonage at an early date.

Secretary McKeen has issued his second
crop bulletin. From his correspondents he
learns that the average production of butter
to COW the past year has been 267 pounds,
an increase of IA pounds over the previous
report. In most cases the milk used in the
family has not been reckoned. The aver
age price of cream received at the cream
cries to make one pound of butter has been
fraction over 81 cents pound. This is
reached by the large proportion of CO. opera
tive creameries in the State. Seventeen
and three-tents pounds is the amount of
milk required to make one pound of butter.
The average price per quart for milk is five
and FIVE one hundredths cents, retail prices
being given. There has been Is per
cent. increase in thoroughbred cows,
mostly Jerseys. The proportion of fruit
trees set is 90 per cent. compared with
former years. Fruit Indications in all parts
Of the State never were better.

cAarles isass Stole MONEY to joia The
Circus.

Charles Jones. IL year.. of age, and . son
OF Mrs. Getchell, who is ia j all for poison
ing her husband, stole 81 .oS from G. VIZ.
Williams Of North Augusta. Thursday A.
temoon.
The circumstances in connection with
the theft and Jones are quite romantic.
he came to Augusta, Wednesday, to see
the crcuiand resolved that he would join it.
de heard man telling how pleasurable it
was to follow circus and of hat An ex-
celient opportunity it afforded to see the
world, visit all the large cities and travel
from one courtry to the other.
He went to Mr.. Williams', in North Au-
gusta, where he was at work for $40 Der
month, ard Thursday, while Mr.. and Mrs.
Williams were away from home, young
Jones went into the house and broke into
Little toy bank, which the children had, and
stole the money. He then walked about
two and a half miles to Riverside and took
the evening train for Waterville, to join
the circus, expecting to find it there. When
he discovered it was not at WaterviIle, but
was at Bath, he bought ticket to Bruns-
wick.
Mr.. and Mrs. Williams came home and
missed the boy. They looked around to
See if be had stolen anything and Mr.. Will
liams thought of the little bank. 1t was
placed on the mantle piece and the back
had been broken off and the contents were
gone. Mr.. Williams readily concluded it
would be a good plan to look after the boy.
He did not get track of him till he reached
Riverside, and there he learned that James
had gone to Waterville, to which place Mr..
Williams drove, fully expecting to find him
at Waterville, but learned that young Jones
had bought ticket and gone to Bruins
wick on the Pullman.
A telegram was sent to Brunswick and
Jones was held. Marshall Bean was mott
fed Friday morning and he went down and
brought him to this city. In the afternoon
he had hearing before Recorder Goddard
and acknowledged lis guilt. Mrs. Williams
refused to take him back. 1t was thought
best to give the boy chance once more, so
he was placed in Jail and it is probable
that he will be taken to Sidney to work for
some one. He said in court his idea was to
join the circus.
1t would seem as if the State reform
school would be the best possible place for
this boy, if his age does not bar him.-ED.

A North Carolina Republic.

What is left of the eastern branch of the
Cherokee Indians, now numbering about
10, 600 persons, live upon a tract known as
the Qualla reserve, comprising some co.
600 acres in one Of the richest valleys of
the western North Carolina mountains,
under perfectly organized republican
government. The reservation lying along
the Ocona Lufta and Soco creeks is practi-
cally a republic, independent in every way
of the state and national governments.
This little republic has constitution of
its own, which provides that the chiefs
term of office shall be four years, with a
salary of $500 a year, and 81 u day extra
when on the republics business in Wash
ington. None but Cherokee of more than
35 years of age is eligible to the chieftain-
ship. An assistant chief upon salary of
$3.50 a year is one of the national council.
and performs the duties of the chief in the
absence of the latter. In addition there
are three executive advisers and a council
comprising two delegates from every hun
dred persons of the tribe.
This council is presided over by the
chief, who, although he has the veto pow
er, is not at liberty to act in any matter
of public policy without the authority of
the council. The voting franchise is re-
stricted to every male Indian above 16
years of age and to white men who have
Indian wives. ~-~sssss t~s'sse~7z- =4s
Under the provisions of the constitution
no one is eligible to office who has ever
aided or abetted or in any way joined the
whites in defrauding the tribe, nor can any
person hold office who denies the existence
of a God or of future state Of rewards and
punishments.
The littlo republic gets along with sur
prisingly small amount of friction. The
elections for chief and assistant, CORE
spending with the positions of president
and vice president of the United States,
are usually practically unanimous, and
there has never been any disloyalty wor-
thy of notice since the present form of gov
eminent was Observation-Disclosures Con-
stitution.

figured that the amount of gold still re.
naming in the Rand down to depth Of
5000 feet was S1.044. 5000
The published statistics of the gold pro-
duction of the past are subject to sus-
picion. But the aggregate product of Cal
ifornia and Australia from 1851 to 1875 did
not vary far from 31,00O.000 ounces, say
$500. 100000 This was the yield Of a quarter
of a century. If the next quarter OF Gen.
tury should add 10 the worlds stock of gold
81, 00O, 100000 from the mines of South
Africa the consequences on commerce and
industry would be important. and when
ever people became satisfied that the gold
was coming they would not wait for it's
actual advent 10 discount the future.
The gold in the Witwatersrand camp Is
found in a conglomerate rock. Some of
the conglomerate yields nearly an ounce to
the ton, but in 1892 the average was ID
pennyweights. and in 1893 IA penny
weights. IL is estimated that the cost
of working is equal to about IL penny
weights, and that save under exceptional
circumstances, ore carrying less than that
will not pay to mine. A large district, tx
tending in almost every direction from the
WitwateTsrand, is known 10 contain gold
bearing cODglomerates, but thus far 1t has
not been sufficiently explored to deter
mine whether the metal is present in suffi-
cient quantities to pay.
One point on which error may have
crept into the calculations of the mining
engineers is in relation 10 the depths 10
which the minerals may be followed. We
have found in this country that below a
certain depth the grade of the ore declines
while the cost of mining increases. The
lower workings of the Comstock were
never very profitable, and the same law
may be found TO be applicable to the car
Donate deposits at Leadvile. The best
ores are usually within 100 or 200 feet of
the surface. A proper regard for these
facts will lead cautious men TO greatly dis
count the calculated wealth of these Afri-
can lodes. Then if the gold is there it
must be got out, and that takes time,
labor and capital. At present. after their
richness has been known for some time,
the Witwatersrand lodes do not produce
so much gold as those of our own country
or Russia. Their future output is simply
an unknown quantity, not to be calculated
in f0recasting the worlds financial prob

SUGAR.

The operations of the sugar trust in the
Senate have 30 some extent obscured the
sugar question in its relation to the tariff.
Under the present tariff raw sugar is ad-
mitted free, and protection is afforded
home producers Of sugar by bounty Of
cents pound on raw sugar. The sugar.
refining industry is protected by specific
duty of one-haE of one per cent on sugar
above certain grade. The House bill
aoolishes the bounty and admits all sugar
free. The Senate bill proposes a duty Of
40 per cent al valorem on raw sugar and
an intricate system of duties on the re-
fined article which experts estimate at
from three-eighths to ive-eighths of a cent
a pound. Senator Sherman estimates the
protection the Senate bill affords at the
latter figure. 1t is this excessive protec-
ton to the sugar-refining industry which
is exciting so much Indignation In both
parties. The Examiner has expressed the
opinion edtOrially that tariff reform is not
worth having with such concession to
the sugar trust But the objection to the
special duty on refined sugar does not ex-
tend to the 40 per cent duty on raw sugar.
AS there Is no hope of a sugar bounty
from a Democratic Congress-, 1t is only
through duty on raw sugar that the beet
sugar industry in this country can be pro-
