ST don't think any nation pays more
attention to military affairs than Ger
many, - said a German citizen. Things
Of seeming little Importance connected
with the army are investigated with the
greatest pains. Many years ago the mat
ter Of boot heels was taken up What
height of heel was best for the infantry?
A commission was appointed. One heel
after another was tried, and a record of
how far the soldiers could march q day
in each was kept. Years piled ON years,
the commission carrying on the investi-
CATION with the care and exactitude of q
chemical analysis. Constant improve
ments were made, and the distance an
army could march in q day was thereby
increased. At length the suggestion of
q heel partly made OF rubber was put
forth. Tic was observation-disclosures sue
cessi It was found that a regiment using
such heels could march one-third farther
q day and with less fatigue than when
the investigation was begun. a small
thing that to begin with, but what an
important part the improved heel would
play in q wart"-Louisville Courier
Journal.
Well Done.
One of the most unique specimens OF
the counting crisis ON record occurred at
q London dinner party. He had long
made love to her. and while at the table
he learned from a friend sitting next to
him that his rival intended to pop the
question that very day. What was to
be done? He was some distance from
her. while the dreaded rival was at her
side. Tearing aleaf from q notebook, he
wrote on it with a pencil: Twill you be
my wife? Write your answer, yes or no,
ON this paper and return IL 20 me. |"
This he sent TO her by q waiter, saying:
TO the lady In blue at the end OF the
table. Be very careful" This servant
was careful enough, but the sender for
got to give him the pencil for the lady
10 use. She didn't have q pencil, but
she coolly put the note into her bosom
and answered TO the waiter, TELL the
gentleman yes. with as little betrayal

A Glorious Song.

1t Is common to believe that deeds
of thrilling valor belong 10 the heroic
past. Here is a record of dauntless
daring unsurpassed by any glory Of
Balaklava or Thermopyl@-as grand
ly tragic as any vision of Homer /;
splendid In It's simplicity and match
less in It's psthos. In the late war In
Matabeleland little troup OF thirty
four Englishmen were cut off and
lost from the main body. For long
time their fate was unknown, aud 1t
was finally ascertalned that they had
been massacred to a man. The details
are gwen in the words Of a captured
Matabele who took part in the mass
acre, and their meagre badness is
eloquence that makes the blood leap
and the tears start:
al, Machhasa, induna In the Insuka
regiment, tell you these things. We
were 5000 men against your thirty
four. They rode into the track and
liuked their horses in a ring and COM
meuced heavy fire upon us, and our
men fell fast and thick. We opened a
fire upon them aud killed ell their
horses. Then they took to cover be-
hind their horses bodies and killed us
just like grass. We tried to rush
them. Twice we tried, but failed.
After a time they did not fire so
much, aud we thought their ammuni-
tion was getting short. Then, just as
we were preparing to rush again,
they all stood up. They took of
their hats and sang. We were SO
amazed to see men singing in the face
of death we knew not what to do. Al
last we rushed. You white men don't
fight like men, but like devils. They
shot us until the last cartridge, and
most of them shot themselves witt
that. But those who had none lef

The negro is said 20 be In many re-
spects becoming a very unsatisfactory
laborer, for cotton producers. He is
lazy aud unreliable. The Hun will at
least work steadily, and he will also
work for even less than the negro has
demanded. II his vicious nature can
be kept under control he makes a
good, ploddlng hand. The expert
ment, If successful, may lead to an In
teresting change in Southern condi-
tions.
The Southern people have made
some reputation for controlling vicious
natures. But Is 1t not possible that
this new trait which is charged 10
the Hun is the Development of the
influences and agencies to which he
has been subjected; the grinding, de-
basing privations and expressions of
the Pennsylvania mines? The writers
Of history do not charge the CON-
patriots of Kossuth with especially
vicious characteristics.

ConaIets OF Protected interests.

Senator McLaurin, Of Mississippi,
deliverered his maiden speech on
Tuesday. II was on the tariff, and Mr..
McLanrln being strong anti-protec-
zionist and also in favor of the income
tax, supported his positions with
force. ability, aud the courage Of evil
IDENTIFY honest convictions.
Il Is doubtless true, as be suggests,
that there are Inconsistencies in the
Mckinley act, and that the protected
interests are in some cases over pro-
tected. Not even the friends OF the
Mckinley law claim that the present
tariff Is perfection.
For instance, Mr.. McLaurin claims
that the sd valorem duty Of As per
cent. on imported cotton machinery 10
working detrimentally to the South.
Ii protects the manufacturer Of cotton
machinery at the expense Of the manu-
facturer of cotton goods aud thereby
smbarrasses what should be one Of the
chief industries of the Southern States.
To illustrate, he says:
"a friend Of mine, Mr.. A. L. Randle
of Washington city, manufacturer,
who does not believe In the efficacy
for good TO the country Of laws that
unjustly discriminate against any
American citizen, conceived plan for
the establishment of a cotton factory
in Mississippi. He issued bonds for
the purchase Of the machinery, aud
had the money TO put 1t IN operation.
He went to Massachusetts, 10 purchase
the machinery, aud II was offered to
him for $290,000 cash. He was un-
able to purchase the machinery with
the bonds, or with stock In the enter
prise. OF this have no complaint to
make. But he went 10 England and
was offered the same machinery for
100000, for which the factory com-
pauy's bonds, and stock in the enter.
prise, would TO accepted, without the
advancement OF q dollvr. By the
operation of the Mckinley bill Mr.
Randlc, an American citizen, was re'
quired to pay $4,000 customs duties
which he was unable TO raise, In ad
dition to that necessary to erect ant
operate the machinery, aud he there
, by failed IN his effort to establish al
, industry that would have given EN-
ployment TO labor. The duty was Al

! If tho duty had been 10 per cent

BLANCHARD. cArCHIsGs AND LEvEEs.
[Appesl Avslanche.l


The levee system was yet in Its in
fancy when the civil war began, and
since then financial conditions have
been such that local planters and
landowners were without the neces-
sary means to complete and perfect 1t.
or late years their efforts have been
supplemented by liberal appropriations
from the general government, which
should be continued until absolute
safety to life and property Is assured.
This work is matter of vital lmper-
tance TO the merchants and citizens OF
Memphis. Every acre of land brought
under The plow, every bale Of cotton
raised In this territory adds 10 our
volume Of business and tends to en-
hsnce our prosperity. These wise and
necessary appropriations, made from
time to time by congress, are largely
due to the efforts of the Mississippi
River Improvement and Levee Asso-
citation, ably assisted by talented con-
gressmen, whose constituencies, IN
whole or in part, are dwellsrs of the
great Mississippi Valley. Foremost
among this number stand Catchings
and Blanchard. The eminent Missis-
sippian is certain Of reelection to the
house, where indeed his services are
indispensable not only to his immediate
district and the people of the valley
but 10 the Democratic party Of the
nation. The talented Louisianian. N.
G. Blanchard, has recently been pro-
NOTED to the senate, in which position
Of trust and honor we hope to sec him
retained for the ensuing six years.
As chairman OF the rivers and harbors
committee Of the house he impressed
bis views on congress 10 q marked de-
gree, aud aud easily won aud main
tanned a wide influential reputation
His knowledge Of the Mississippi
River and cognste subjects is minute
and inexhaustible. This fact, coupled
with the powers Of strong debater
the advantage Of pleasing address
and the prestige Of success in the
lower house, will soon make him I
recognized leader In the senate on al
matters pertaining to the national har
bors and waterways, aud especially Il
, that greatest OF all waterways, th'
Mississippi River. With Blanchard
then, in the senate and Catchiugs II
} the house, levee and river interest
, would be iu safe hands, aud the broat
sliuvisl acres Of the valley would sool
: be thoroughly protected.

The South was represented by IA
typical southern beauties at the Birm-

Sunny Land there is weeping aud
walliug and guashiug of teeth among

There Is only one word within our ken
which does these representations JUS
tice. 1t Is "hideosities," and Is the
coinage Of bright and witty girl who
