About ten years ago number of
Germans, who had migrated to the
Northwest, disgusted with the hard
ships of that cold country, determined
to remove to the South. They accord
ingly bought at SO an acre Il worn
out plantation of some 1000 acres in
Lauderdale County, Alabama, and
settled there. They proceeded to i'm
prove their property along practical
and intelligent lines. They cleared
away the broomsedge and planted
clover and grasses and began raising
cattle. They sold hay and small grain.
They planted orchards and vineyards
andutilized the products in every avail
able way. The result is that the st.
Florian colony is among the most
thrifty and prosperous communities in
the State of Alabama. Their land is
now worth at least $50 per acre and
they are happy and independent.

Chinese Executions.

AT Canton, China, the average num-
Der of executions is about 800 per
year. but in 1885 80, 900 rebels were
beheaded. Females are sometimes
strancled and the worst criminals are
nailed upon q cross. Sometimes the
sentence directs that the criminal
while living shall be cut into a number
OF pieces, which number never ex-
ceeds thirty-six. The headsman for
merly received 81 n head, but the sup
ply and competition has reduced the
wave To fifty cents apiece. Most of
the criminals who are heheaded arc
water pirates or land bandits. Chi

The street railroads of New York
City had, until the introduction of the
cable system, 90, 900 horses in service,
and the total number of horses and
mules on American street railroads
was not far from 400, 600. Now, with
1000 miles of trolley roads, and over
1900 of cable, there is decidedly less
demand for horses and mules, and
correspondingly smaller demand for
hay for fodder.

How the Forget.Me-Not Was Named.

Everybody knows the pretty little

more perhaps because of its name than

Germans account for it by quite
pathetic romance. 1t seems that once

Trusting and doubtlng--
Taking leap in the dark.

BEFORE THE DAYBREAK.

Before tho dsybreak shines a star
That in the days full glory fades;y
Too fiercely bright is the greet light
That her psle-gleaming lamp upbraids.
Before the daybreak sings bird

Too loud for her is the days star,
The woodlands thousand-tonguedd delight
All great the honor is to shine ~
light wherein no traveller crrs; =;

And sing of love when loves unheard.

safe Cracking at oelrichs.

from Wednesdays Daily.
\ telegram was received by the
Merchants bank from Oelrichs this
morning, informing them that the safe
in the store of Commissioner Colgan
was cracked last night by unknown
parties and everything of value stolen.
1t is not known how much was taken,
but it could not have been u great sum
for Mr.. Colgan made a deposit at the
Merchants bank of this place on Sat-
urday of Il considerable amount. This
makes the complete circuit of the Hills
in the safe cracking business, and it is
plain that an organized gang has been
in the vicinity, skulking round and
watching their opportunity for this
kind of work. Our police force and
night watchmen should be on the
alert and be ready to give the villains
a warm reception should they make
any attempt on the safes of Hot
Springs institutions, Is they have no
doubt been in the city watching for a
chance. Look out for them.
Later information is to the effect,
that the thieves only got $40 in silver
a pension voucher for s36, and a check
on the Bank of Hot Springs for a
small amount.
