CAPT. WILLIAM A. HANDLEY
DEPENDED AGAINST 4 MisREPREsENTA-
 TIoN-FACTs AND PIGuREs.

TkON-FACT5 AND PIG URESs
 To the Age Herald: -s-.. ----s.a~- s
 The Birmingham Times contained short piece few days since in reference to Col. W. A. Handley and Randolph county, which does Colonel Handley great iujus- tice. It says:
 ''Hon. William A. Handley ran on the organized ticket for representative in Ran dolph county. His name was expected to make the "misguided'' democrats come back into the party of fraud. In 1892 Jones county. In 1894 Oates received less than 700 votes. This shows how the people are coming back in the same way.'
 You copied the above extract and com mented on same in your Issue of August 24, but not knowing some of the facts in the case, you could not do justice 10 the matter. propo ,e to give you the exact facts and figures in the case and let your readers decide whether or not Colonel Handley, whom we all love and admire, did did the party an injury by running. In 1892 Randolph county cast 3179 votes for governor, giving Kolb 2136 and Jones 1O43, making Kolb's majority 1893 votes. In 1894 the county cast 2725 votes for governor, giving Kolb 16S6, Oates 1039, making Kolb's 8 majority 647, or a loss of AS votes l; but when the returns were opened on Sat urday, August II, three democratic boxes were excluded by the Randolph Kol b officials, which made the vote stand as follows: Kolb, 1928; Oates, 644; Kolb B majority, 6Si.
 Now, please notice in the actual vote that the democrats only lost votes from that of 1892, while Kolb lost 450, with reduction in his majority of 446, making him short e96 votes 10 what he had two years ago. While the actual vote of 1894 was 554 shorter than it was h 1892, the democrats you see wore only short, and according to the way the returns were sent in, after ex- clnding three democratic boxes, the vote was 1207 short of 1892, and the democrats only lost 399 of these, which m lkes the Kolbites short sos votes. And in addition to these few explanations we will say that Captain Handley ran from 200 to 300 votes ahead of his ticket, which shows whether or not Captain Handley brought any of the 'smisguided' democrats back nto the fold or not, and whether Kolbism is losing or gaining ground.
 The people of Randolph county and of the state of Alabama know Captain Hand ley too well to believe any such fakes as are told by the opposition papers, but we thought in justice to him and the grand old democratic party we would correct these "few" Kolb errors. Captain Hand- ley and the democrats of Randolph county regard the results of the last election in this county as grand victory for democ- racy and did fully as well as the yexpected, If not better. Captain Handley did not want to make the race at all, but his whole object in accepting the nomination was to reduce the majority and save the state ticket. Everybody happy over the results here.

EVADNE.
To the Age Herald:

To the Age- Herald:
 l think Mrs. Balls criticism of Evadne does more credit to her head than her heart. Mrs. Ball seems to have analysed the character critically without allowing her sympathies to become inter- ested. She thinks Evadne was cold, cal culating, selfish. This cannot be, for all her troubles were due to the impetuosity of Der love: She was swept by the torrent of her love into marriage with man whom she did not thoroughly know. She could not wait until she found out more about him, and more thoroughly tested her love by the lapse of time. Then having been entrapped into this uncongenial alliance by the ardor of her love, she finds that the man she has welded is utterly unworthy of her love. H5. is a Colonel Breckinridge, without Breckinridges sensibility of soul and nobility Of heart to realise the enormity moral nature is corrupt-he has been guilty of lying, deceit and all manner of wicked ness. Evadne sees at once that all hope of sympathy between her husband and her. sell is shattered. They occupy two sep arate and distinct worlds. Then her head rises superior to her heart. All her love is crushed out by the power of her strong intellect. The question re- solves itself into this: Should she allow her heart or her head to govern her? She chose in favor of her head. We see this in social life every day. A young woman falls in love with a poor young man and refuses to marry him because of his pow erty. She knows that if she allows her heart to govern her that she will be welded to perpetual misery. Now, if we admit that poverty is crime we have Evad ne's dilemma exactly.
 Perhaps Madame Grand intended to de- pict in Evadne the woman of the past and the woman of the future When Eyadne fell in love with the officer she represented the woman of the past, who was swayed altogether by her heart. When Evadns refused to be the wife of the man she had married she represented the woman of the future, who will be governed by her head. Are not the young women becoming more and more intelligent, more and more calcu leting, and less and less the creature of passion? BAIZAC. l

.EAvES AND RAIN.
Methods by Which Plants Dispose of an Ex-
 cess of Water.

X-
 cess of Water.
 l MT. E. Stahl has been making stHdy ] of leaf forms in relation to the rainfall. chiefly in the Botanic gardens of >Buiten. zorg, and he says that, while large leaf surface partly provides for the removal of water by transpiration, there are other distinct methods by which plants are helped to dispose of anyexcess of water accommodating upon tbem as speedily as possible One of these is the adoption of the sleeping position by leaves, such as those Of the sensitive plant, so that when the horizontal leaves bend upward the raindrops run of by the base of the leaf Most frequenbly, however, excessive mois- ture IS drained off by long points to the leaves. These points occur on the lobes of dlvideei leaves, but are most remarkable 9n long ovato leaves.
 In some plants the prolonged midrib has the form of wide channel, but generally it is that of tapering and narrow point, 2 slightly curved at the end As the water trickles down the inclined narrow points it passes from the upper to the under sur face before dropping from the leaf, and the bent tip acceierates this action. Stahl tested this theory by experiments and found that the leaves of Justicia picta which he carefully rounded retained mois- ture for an hour, while those with the drop. ping points left OH were dry in 90 minutes or less. This rapid removal of water from the leaf lightens its weight, helps tran spiration and clcanses the surface In veri1lcation of this we arc reminded that after shower tho pointed leaves of the ash, willow, etc., have had the dust quite washed out while rounded leaves like these of the oak arc still dirty.-Gardcn and Forest

THE LOND OF LETTERS.

Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes is very en- thusiastic in his praise of southern writers. He thinks Harris, Craddock, Page and other southern writers are people of God given genius, and declares that some of the dearest moments of his life have been spent in absorbing their books. This is gener- ous praise from one who is the best living judge of merit in literature. And the southern people on their part love dear Dr. Holmes. He has brightened our lives by his witty sayings, and given renewed zest to life by his genial good nature. In fact, we feel proprietary interest in all those literary lights of New England who have in recent years elevated American litera- ture and ennobled humanity. We are the heirs of their literary treasures. This com mon bond of sympathy in the literary work of American authors will keep the two sec tions united in one brotherhood. The pol iticians may try to break this bond, but they will never succeed. Tom Reed tried to stir up sectional animosity in speech to his Maine constituents only last week. He cast slur upon the south, and endeav- ored to infiame the minds of his hearers against the south and southern statesmen. But the object of the politicians is too ap- parent. They see in this sectional feeling their only hope of getting office. Like Demetrius, the siversmith, they raise great hue and cry because their craft is in danger.
