the revolt on its bayonets. which. present

Rabbi Isaac M. Wise, who is trying
to find out how many Jews there are in
the world, has come to the conclusion
that there are over 100000 of them.
There are other computations which put
the number at nearly 2O,OO0,OOO.
1t Is part of policeman's duty at
Dieppe to rescue persons from drowning.
The following significant notice is issued
tc the officials: "The bathing police are
requested when a lady is in danger of
drowning to seize her by the dress, and
not by the hair, which oftentimes re-
mains in their grasp"
One would think that there would
be more than enough hides in this coun-
try to supply all the tanneries in Ameri-
ca. Yet this is not the case, for the
American Oak Leather Company, of
Cincinnati, is obliged to 60 to Liverpool
and Ham burg 10 find an adequate sup
ply Of hides for their needs. One of the
officers of the company said recently that
the foreign cattle are larger and better
than our cattle, and their hides are con-
sequently more desirable. Then such
vast mum bers of cattle, the finest in tho
world, are sent annually to Liverpool to
be slaughtered, that the English tanners
could not begin to use all the hides that
might be offered them. But it seems
odd to think tina. the biggest and fattest
of Texan steers are sent aliveto England,
there killed, and their hides sent back to
America and Cincinnati, and then, when
converted into leather, it may and often
does 60 back to England again.

Louisiana Tigers.

Representative Oates, of Alabama,
who lost an arm as Confederate officer,
was recalling his knowledge of Col. Bob
Wheat, OF the famous Louisiana Tigers"
says the st. Louis Post-Dtspatch.
"They were we'll named" remarked
Col. Oates. "Wheat was educated for the
Episcopal ministry, but he was born
soldier. He was in the Crimean war, was
with Lopez, was with Walker in Nicara-
qua, and came home just as our war
broke out. He landed at New Orleans
and raised his Tigers along the wharves
and wherever he could get desperate
men.
"Some of them he obtained in prison,
getting their pardon on condition they
would join him. On their way to Vir-
ginia the seat of war, the Tigers passed
through Opelika, Ala.
"The train stopped there, and in few
minutes Wheat's men had entire posses
sion Of an adjacent hotel and the bar
room. The local authorities we're power
less. Wheat, who was asleep in a car of
the train, was aroused, and he rushed out
with a cooked revolver in his hand.
He ordered the men back to their cars,
and they obeyed, with the exception of q
small group led by two desperate looking
fellows. Wheat shot both of them dead
and left them in Opelika. I got to know
him we'll in Virginia during the war.
"He told me the only way to control
his men was to shoot down those who
disobeyed or defied him, and yet they
loved him with the fidelity of dogs.
They were desperate fighters and Beau
regard complimented them in his official
report of the first battle of Manassas.
"On our way to the battle Of Cold Har-
Dor Col. Wheat intimated to Lieut.. Col.
Peck, of the 9th Louisiana regiment, and
myself that he would be killed in the
coming battle. He was 80 confident Of it
that he told Peck what he wanted done
with some property he owned. He
wanted 1t to 60 to his mother.
"In that battle he was shot through the
head, and though the ball passed through
his brain he uttered complete sentence
before he fell. Even above the din of
battle his voice could be distinctly heard
as be shouted BURY me on the battle
field my men! His last wish, so re-
markably expressed, was complied
with"

lively few people in this city, where
he has resided for number of years,
have ever seen him or heard the won
derful story of which he is the hero.
There are several persons here, how
ever, who are familiar with the incl
dent, and from an old Confederate,
who was in the vicinity when the
fight occurred, the Courier-Journal
correspondent heard the story before
seeking an interview with Mr.. Keelin.
When asked why he did not run
away with his companions when he
saw the overwhelming force of the
enemy, he modestly replied that he
had been put there to defend the
bridge and save it from destruction if
he could, and he did not think it right
to give it up without at least making
some show of fight for it; and when
he got into it, "there was no way to
get out except to fight out" as he put
it. He seemed to have very little
idea that his deed deserves to rank
with the bravest in the records Of
mankind. He does not complain Of
his lot, but wends his quiet way unno'
| ticed and almost unknown. He de.
serves pension, both from his native
State and from the railroad company

Louisville, (Ky.) Lines.

Mr.. EDITOR: AS you are adding new
names of correspondents to your list
from week to week will you be so indul-
gent as to put mine down for one week
i. g., if this paper should fini favor in
your eyes.
In my private letters Isometimes make
8 very "poor mouth" but after allithis is
a good city to live in and Kentucky is q
splendid country. True, there are dis
advantages here as elsewhere, but the
advantages are many. It would be
pleasant indeed to say something Of this
beautiful, fertile country, but I desire to
say something on another line.
Among the many advantages to be had
here not the least Of these are its educa-
tional facilities. In two respects it is the
foremost city in the South, namely, its
Medical and Theological advantages. The
Medical schools have patronage OF
about 400 students, while there are now
two Theological schools with about 300
students. The Presbyterians only this
it has more than thirty students, while
the Baptists have here the largest Theo-
logical Seminary in the United States.
But besides the schools specially i'm
portant feature to one engaged in intel
lectual pursuits is the annual visitation
of distinguished speakers. During this
winter we have been particularly favored
in this way. May I say word about q
few of these?
The first who paid US visit was the
famous humorist Rob. Y. Burdette.
How we did laugh as he depicted to us
"the rise and fall of a mustachev Who
has ever read "The Brakeman at Church"
without feeling desire to see and hear
its author? He is rather small man, his
voice keyed pretty high, has mischiey-
Gus eye and mouth and is altogether
brimful of humor. No one after hearing
him will ever forget some of his express
sions.
Then Sam Jones visited us. I did not
hear him but from reports it was not a
paying expedition.
/ havn't time to speak of Gen. Cor
don's enthusiastic reception and eloquent
address on "The Last Days of the Con-
federacy," but must say something Of
DIR. Talnage, the world-renowned plat
form speaE 81 1t has been my desire for
years to hear him, and now 1t has been
realized. OF course the lecture was fine,
but it lacked great deal of meeting my
expectations. Rarely have been more
disappointed. He has an abundant sup
ply of good anecdotes, which produce
laughter, and he storms and stamps his
feet which renews the waning interest,
but after all there is painful lack of
food for the mind of the man who really
wants to think. + would advise those
who enjoy his sermons not to be over
anxious to hear him lecture, for his SER
mons read are better than his lectures
heard.

him To give anything like an adequate
description of him is above and beyond
me. Some say since Henry Ward Bee

the United States. He was born in North

the closest attention of an audience for

A Drunkard's Awful Fate.

COLUMBUS, GA, January 4.-East
Highlands, suburb of Columbus, was
the scene of terrible tragedy early this
morning. James Thompson, a machin-
list, returned home last night considera-
bly, under the influence Of liquor, quar-
relied with his wife, and finally drove
her out into furious rain storm at mid
night. She sought refuge at neighbor's g
house with three little children:
About o'clock son, Cliff Thompson,
aged %, who is a printer by trade, re-
turned from his work and went to BED
knowing nothing Of the treatment Of his
mother. Cliff is deaf and dumb. This
morning at six o'clock Mrs. Thompson
returned to her home, busted herself at
the home nd attended to her children,
who returned with her. Thompson was
aroused, and finding his wife In the house
renewed his quarrel with her and ordered
her to get out. The woman pleaded with
her brutal husband, who, losing control
of himself, made q savage attack upon
her. At this juncture Cliff, the deaf
mute son, appeared in the room, and at
once sprang to the assistance Of his
mother. His father turned on him to
drive him off. The boy jerked his
mother away, when Thompson rushed
for pistol, Intending, it is presumed, to
shoot either his wife or son, possibly
both. Cliff grabbed razor from the top
of bureau and deadly struggle ensued
between him and his father. The boy
made lunge at the infuristed man,
slashing him across the throat, severing
the carotid artery and cutting him very
severely in several other places. Thomp-
son, the elder, fell to the floor In pool OF
blood and expired In few minutes. The
son proceeded at once to the police sta
ton, wrote q statement of the tragedy on
a piece of paper and surrendered himself
and was placed under arrest. The affair
has created intense excitement and hun
dreds of people surrounded the place.
Public sentiment is with the son, who ia
an industrious man and who was forced
to commit the horrible act in defence Of
his mother.

The Buried Cargo esthe Cabo Machicaco
struck by Divers.
MApRIp.-A dispatch received from
Santander says that ten men were killed
and thirty injured by an explosion Of
dynamite in the harbor. The dynamite
WAS in one Of the many cases Of explo-
sives which went down last November
with the wreck Of the steamer Cabo Ma
CHICAGO. Ever since the steamer WAS
blown to pieces divers have worked in
termittently upon the wreck, and have
raised considerable quantity Of miscel.
laneous cargo, which was brought to
Santander. Recently the divers reported
that they were getting near the dyna-
mite, but II was supposed that the ex-
plosive had lost its power after 20 many
weeks in water. Three divers were down
when the explosion came. Ten men
were out In boat over the spot where
the divers were at work. Some fifty men
were ut work at the docks. The cause
Of the explosion is not known exactly.
The report shook Mcndez Nunez street,
which skirts the quay, along its whole
length. The small boat just off the spot
was splintered, and seven men were
killed. The three divers were also killed,
and thirty men along the quay were in
jurea seriously. The maneled and black.
ened corpses Of the dead were scattered
al along the quay. and the scene was
one that detied description. Among the
dead are Don Manuel de LApena, Pro-
vincial Governor, and . number Of other
ofacials.
