Ed. Register-A special courier from
Scatterville brought the following for
".Murphy's" letter to the REGISTER
The fat man from Scatterville goes
hunting and rides his favorite mule,
Curley. Now Curley is an obedient
mule, and not able to speak intelligi-
bly,, or perhaps he might have told
the fat man to take along supply OF
caps-a thing indispensable to a muz-
zle-loadiug gun. But, as suggested,
the mule Curley being unable to speak,
meekly carried the fat man all over
Stone Mountain and vicinity, and not
until the days hunt was over did the
fat man discover that he had hunted
all day without any caps. But, as he
remarked, perhaps. it did not matter.
as he did not meet anything to shoot
at. The fat man, however, is said to
be good marksman when the boys
don't monkey with his gun; but he
can't be blamed for missing the board
with a wad.

Nnle-Nale's Team of Veteran Piaycr< Harvard's Strong Eleven and PrnnsyI- vania's Rise In the Football World.
 Judging from tho enthusiasm at the opening of tho season, football seems dcs tined to occupy u warmer place in the American heart this year than ever before. From Boston to San Francisco the players arc hard at work on the gridirOn, but the season will not mach its acme of glory un til late in November, when the player will have locks as luxuriant as those samson possessed before DClilah operated on them with the scissors.
 Owing to the rCfOrm of the rules gov erning the game, it is believed them will be fewer hurry calls for ambulancCs this scasOn, but without doubt football will still bc rough enough tO please the most sancuinary admircr of the game Th> player with n weak noso will continue tC guard that uIg gan with the unsightly but useful nosc mask. and the man whose car. lop over Ut the top until they crate the wind resistance of small sails will put on his ear protectors ns of yOrr.

Honesty In War.

The French marshal, Turenne. was a great general, and his character bears examination for nobility. He was a great man. Many incidents which arc related of him show his modesty. gener- osity and honesty as we'll as his courage and military ability. A little story of one of his German campaigns illustrates his rare scrupulousness even in time nf war.
 The authorities of Frankfort believed, from the movements of his army, that he intended passing through their terri tory. They sent a deputation to him which offered him large sum of money if he would alter the direction of his march and leave Frankfort unmolested-
 They were surprised in more ways than one by his answer. ''Gentlemen, he said, my conscience will not per init me to accept yopr money, for have never intended to lead my army through your town. "-Yopth's Companion

Feathers In Germany.

As soon as she is able to run about each daughter of German farmers 8 family is presented with linen bag marked with her own name. into which she puts all the feathers she can pick up. Not tho slightest downy bit escapes her. and the sooner the bag + filed the greater the praise she gets from the parents. The bag being full, it is emp tied into larger one. which hangs in the garret or elsewhere, and wEen there are feathers enough they are made into pillows or holsters or beds or cushions for easy chairs.

Ex-SEcRErARY WHITNEY has always been very popu'af with democrats and he has become more popular than ever since he wrote that ringing letter in favor of demo- cratic harmony and the election of Senator Hill to be governor of New York. At the headquarters of the democratic congress sional committee Mir Whitney's letter is regarded as a rattling campaign document, not only in New York but every where else as the arguments he uses are in the main equally applicable elsewhere. It is b'- lieved that it will exercise great influence with those democrats who have been making the mistake of allowing their per s, ,nal animosities to injure the party to which they belong and to which they are stlll devoted

 NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-Ycars ago young literary man who was an associate of Poe and N F. Willis and Fitz- Greene Halleck found himself suddenly made famous by a single poem. Hc had dashed poem off as Brct Harte wrote The Heather Chinee" without ever drcaming that 1t would gain worldwide popularity. The poem was Ben Bolt and the writer Thomas Dunn English. In these later years Ben Bolt'' has been almost forgotten until few months ago intcrcst in 1t was quick encd so that the story of the writing Of 1t has been again told and retold, and this was due to the fact that in that very re- markabIc novel, ''Trilby," which is the lit- erary sensation of tho year, the author. Du Maurier, causes the heroine to sing Ben Bolt" and under circumstances which are piquant at one time and pathet- ic at another.
 Dr. English must have been astonished and perhaps have felt a little compliment cd that this song of his, written 50 years ago, should have been chosen by tho bril- liant artist and author to illustrate one of the peculiar and mysterious qualities of
 
 dent will do moro to make Dr. English s namc familiar with the present generation than tho fact that he has been now for some years useful and hardworking member of congress, representing one of the New Jersey districts in that body.
 Fifty years ago, when English was one of the bright members of that very bright group of young American writers, no one would have dreamed that in his old ago he would have entered upon apolitical career and would have gained at least from his associates a most worthy regard for the abilities that make the successful congress man. Yet his experience has been not un' | like that of others who began life as writ CTS either of sketches or as reporters fol the newspapers. In fact, in tho very con gross of which pr. English was n member he found associates who had stepped from | literature and journalism into the politica 1 field and with success. The chairman o tho naval committee of the house, Amo | J.
