An exchange says: A silurian mer-
chant-one of those who never adver-
tise, you knoW-renlarked to us: ooh,
| don't have to advertise, | am doing
too much business already, in fact |
don't want any more business no time
to wait on them. Besides nobody reads
the papers much anyhow" He was the
maddest man in seven counties next
day when seventeen OF his customers
told him they had read in the paper
that he did'nt want any more customers,
and it cost him the profit on forty-two
hams and "a barrel OF sugar to explain
through a local journal that he was only
joking.
John L. Sullivan is performing feats.
Bat one feat which he performed and in
which he believed with a feryor of an
idolator says the Washington Post, goes
into the marvellous. 1t involved the
telling whether the tirstborn OF a given
couple was a boy or a girl. The way
that this feat was accomplished was a
profound secret with the pugilist but
in a burst of confidence he disclosed the
method to the writer. To solve the
problem the only necessary data are the
full maiden name of the mother and the
full name of the father. According to
Mr.. Sullivan's formula ii after counting
the letters in both names, the sum is an
even one, the firstborn is Il boy, if odd
the issue OF the union is a girl. For ex-
ample, all the letters in Mary Jane
Brown and Hiram Smith form a total OF
t~wenty-three, an odd number. Result
Il girl. If this formula is reliable it will
serve forecasting purposes as well as the
establishment of post-facto results; but
no editorial guaranty goes with the pre-
scription.

An Ass In The Pulpit.

All professions produces a fair percent
age OF asses, but OF late the ministerial
profession seems to be turning out more
than the average. Rev. DR.. Westwood
of the Howard Street Methodist Church
OF san Francisco has opened Il crusade
against boomers, and is preaching of d
ball about to he given by the Wheel
Club OF san Francisco, that any woman
who attends the bail i'll boomers is not
v%irtu0us. A mar who will rise into a
pulpittand attempt to Tx the moral stat
utes OF women about whom he knows
nothing, is al ass pure and simple, un-
less he happens to be a knave masquer-
aiding as a teacher of morality.
No doubt his sermon was listened to
by many women of his congregation,
who wore long clothes and still were not
yIrtuous. One cannot take IA yard stick
and measure a woman's virtue by hei
clothes. only a few filthy minded nor
aiists whose morality is all in their OBJ
servation of it are meddling with wo-
mems costumes. This happens to be
the 10Th century and women are dress
ing as they please. When women make
as indecent an exposure OF their persons
AS yestwood mak VI his mind, II will

Montgomery. Aug. 19.-(SpeciaD-A bloody negro with a chain locked around his neck was brought in from Pike Road yesterday. The negro's name is John Castle and he is a horse thief. About a year ago he stole a horse. from Rafe Nathan. Rafe went out to arrest him, but while he was lying in the dark wait ing for him John slipped up and stole Rafe's horse and gun This was the last heard of him until last week. It seems that he had been staying at Lowndes- boro. He was on his way to visit his mother at Pike Road Saturday. He was walking and found a horse tied out to graze. He got on the horse, and Instead of following the road he went through the cotton field. A negro farmer ordered him off his land. John drew his gun and ran the negro in his house. One or two other negro farmers received the same Urea tmerit at his hands. After he had passed the negroes armed themselves and went to arrest him. Magistrate Hugh Belser came up and they managed to run the negro out of the house. As he ran the magistrate ordered the negroes to shoot. They sprinkled the flying ne- gro's back with bird shot and one of the negroes caught him.
 A hot fight ensued. The other negroes ran up and John was overpowered. He is not seriously hurt.

CARPET VIEWERS STRIKE.
Appearances Point to an Early Ending
 the Trouble.

Appearances Point to an Early Ending of
 the Trouble.
 Philadelphia, Aug 9.-Appearances today point to an early ending of the in grain carpet weavers' strike, which on Wednesday will begin the sixth week of it's existence. The action of the firm of Joseph Taylor & Go. on Saturday in signing the 7k per cent advance scale, to take effect on September 16, has, it is believed been the means that will bring about the result. The spirit of com promise has entered into the minds of the strikers, and at number of mills today the proprietors were waited upon by committees of their late employees, who rendered the employers the same terms by which Taylor x Co. had brought about an adjustn. ant of the difficulties.
 Spirited meetings of the strikers were held this morning, and the outcome was a decision to return to wofk if the man agers agreed to advance the scale on September 16
 It was stated this afternoon that Sam uel White and Thomas Boggs, large-man- hfacturers, have signed the advance scale to take effect September IS. The strikers announce that several other manufacturers have signed the scale con- ditionally. agreeing to pay the advance on the 16th proXimo in case certain manu- facturers do likewise.

Froi. Lane Keeps Ris Audience Cachnatlng
 for an Hour and Three-0uarters.
 Prof. Charles Lane of the Georgia Technologcal school of Atlanta deliv- cred his second lecture in this city last night at Seals hall. The audience was a thoroughly appreciative one and sat through the hour and th.ee-auarters listening with the deepest interest to the lecturer. The hall is poorly ventilated and the heat during the lecture was sim ply oppressive, but this fact did not pre- vent the audience from enjoying the intellectual feast spread before them by the Georgia humorist
 Professor Lane has an ineXhauStible supply of amusing jokes which, deliv- cred in his unique manner, never fail to bring down the house in uproarious laughter. By far the greater part Of his lecture consists of humorous anecdotes that keep the hearers risibles at their highest tension. While the anecdotes produce laughter in themselves the fla cial expression and character poftrayins of the lecturer intensiies their hum3r and makes laughter irresistible.
 Professor Lane announced as his sub- ject Talks and Takers" and during the rendering of his discourse he gave some excellent advice, inferentially, to his audience. The points he made were en- forced by the use of pertinent anecdotes.
 He said there were few people who were really good a repartee. Ben Butler, he said. was perhaps the best at that of any American who had ever lived, and Robert Burns the best the world had ever known.
 The best takers, he said, are those who are best at listening. Find very mar row minded man and he will give you a piece of that mind. The man who is willing to listen and to learn is the man who can talk Interestingly. He said Ian guage was more expressive than paint ing. Language will convey ideas no pie ture can convey.
 Professor Lane is perhaps the most in teresting humorous lecturer that has ever appeared before a Birmingham audlencS

Killed by an Engine.

Jeff Cooper, a negro, was fatally hurt by train on the Central road early this morning. It looks like a case of attempted suicide. Cooper was sitting on the track, and the train was upon him almost before the engineer was en- abled to see him. When he did it was too late to stop the train, and Cooper was struck and knocked from the track. The train was under good headway and could not be stopped until some distance down the track. When the train had backed up to the place of the accident it was found that the negro had again crawled upon the track, and it is believed he wanted to die He is still alive, but cannot recover, it Is stated.
