Baldheaded Wits.

In London there is Baldheaded club, every member of which must have a smooth and shiny pate. One of thoir fa- vorite amusemcnts Is to attend in body music halls and theaters where the ballet is feature The attention of the audi ence, however, is always riveted on the ar ray of bald heads as their owners file down the aisle and seat themselves in the front rows and throughout the performance they receive more or less notice in tho way of friendly remarks from the gallery.
 Not many years ago there was Parisian wit and boulevardier named Siraudin, who would have been eligible to the pres. dency of the London club, for his head was absolutely destitute of hair. One hot day he was sitting bareheaded at one of the ta- bles out of doors on the boulevard, with a number of friends about. He noticed a hair on his coat sleeve and carefully picked it up and placed it on top of his head amid the laughter of his companions. Suddenly he began to mop his face with his hand kerchief and show every sign of excessive suffering from the heat.
 "Dieul How warm I am," he ex- claimed exhaustedly couple of times; then the reason for it occurred to him, and he cried as he raised his hand to his head:
 "Ahl 1 know what makes me so warm It's my hair, and he carefully removed it and placed it on the table as he would a wig.-New York World.

Highest Range In America.

It is not commonly known, but it is a fact, that perhaps the highest range of mountains in America is on the Uintah Indian reservation in Utah. Bears peak has an altitude of 14,600 feet being 400 feet higher than Pike's peak in Colorado. In stretch of 30 miles there arc dozen such peaks with attitudes of over 13,000 feet each and which are snow capped al most all the year round.
 From these mountains numbers of riv- CTS of bright crystal water have their source. They flow down through the val lcys and plains, affording the finest nat ural irrigation in the world. The two res ervations have an area of about 6,000, 900 acres Uintah occupying about 100000 acres According to the report of the Unit ed States Indian agent, Major Ranlctt, about 540.

The jai!er refused to give up the keys, but the mob found them in his room The shrif being awakened. approached the jail but was halted by a sentinel who put the barrel of a shotgun in his face. Being assured there was no dan ger of a lynching the jail was not guarded last night.
 There is great excitement in Green vile tonight. At midnight two military companies have been ordered out. One is at the jail and the other resting on their arms in the armory. The fire en- zines have steam UP and citizens are guarding their homes. This is because of threat made by negroes to lynch James Lewis, a white man. charged with nlurdering negro, and confined in jail and by the further dread that the people fear the application of the torch to their homes during the night
 The promise of the Greenville autbori- ties 10 protect the prisoner. Johnson, after having prevented the negroes from doing so, is what has caused the bitter feeling particularly as Johnson's counsel says he has six witnesses to prove that Langford snapped his pistol at Johnson five times before the negro.
 At 12:50 o'clock nothing further has de- veloped in Greenvllle.

BoNAPARTE AND JOSEPHINE.
The Incident Which Was the Beginning of the Arrangement Between Them.


 It was on Oct. 16 that Bonaparte ar- rived at his house on Victory street, in Paris. Mime. Bonaparte was not there to give him welcome. During the absence of her husband she had made her house the center of brilliant society which num- bered among it's members the ablest men of tho time. This circle was untiring in it's devotion to Bonaparte's s interests, mak- ing friends for him at home, plotting in his behalf abroad, turning every political incident to his advantage, and building up Q strong party which believed that he was the only possible savior of France. In con duct the associates were gay and even dis solutc; occasionally.a select inner coterie withdrew to Plombieres, nominally for re- pose, but probably for seclusion not al together innocent.
 Into this loyal but licentious company the sudden announcement of Bonaparte's ap- proach brought something like constcrna- tion. Josephine, in particular, was over anxious to display feigncd devotion to her husband. Learning of his approach, she went out some distance to meet him, but took the wrong road and passed him unawares. Hurrying back she found le door of his chamber barred, her absence being of course confirmation of the gen erals jealous suspicious For hours hel entreaties and tears were vain At last Eugene and Hortense joined theirs with their mothers and the door was opened. The breach was apparently healed, but rather to avoid a scandal than from sin cere forgiveness, and this scene was the beginning of arrangement. - Professor Sloano's Life of Napoleon" in Century.

THE AGRICULTURAL SCHOOLS
With One Exception, He Says, Do Not Teach Agriculture at All-4hings Need
 lacking Up.

Montgomery, July 15.-(Special.)-Th following interesting letter from Hon. Hector D. Lane, commissioner of agri- culture. was today received at the gov ernors office:
 Montgomery, July 13, 1895. His Excellency Gov. William c. Oates,
 Montgomery, Ala
 Dear Sir: Under an enactment of the legislature of Alabama, see acts 1888 and 1SS9 house bill 3S, we find under the caption of "To establish two branch agricultural experiment stations and agricultural schools, one in north Ala bama and the other at or near Abbeville, in Henry county, in southeast Alabama" These two schools were established ae- cording to law, and, predicated upon this act, five more schools have since been established I will call the attention of your excellency to the fact that it was obviously the intention and spirit of the legislature in the establishment of these schools to facilitate the opportu- mites and encourage the agricultural classes in acquiring scientific agricul- tura1 education. The time has arrived in the history of this country, as your excellency is well aware, that we will have to lay aside the wooden mould board blow and the primitive methods of tillng the ground practiced by our fathers, when the beneficence of the soil supplemented the lack of science; like the plethoric bank accounts of the in- heirently rich. but improvident heir, the prodigality of our drafts without our having made any return, has exhausted the deposits; and it no longer responds to his demands without the liberal as- sistance of science. These conditions being apparent, our national and state legislatures have appropriated large funds and established numerous schools for the promotion of scientific agricul- tural educa ton.
 The legislature of Alabama, acting in common with the other states and in the face of the prevailing hard times. but appreciating the necessity of educating her people on these lines, has established seven schools, and that it was the inten- ton of the legislature that these schools should be technically and absolutely az ricultural schools I desire to cite toAyour excellency the language of the statute. In the caption and thereafter you will find that these schools are entitled "Ag- ricultural Experiment Station and Agrl- cultural School,' the word agricultural being used twice.

 Reliable.

Anniston, July 15.-tSpecial)- find of the richest gold vein on record is re- ported from Cleburne county. The mine is on the property of Messrs. w. G. Mill ligan, w. A. Neal and D. B. Vaughan of Heflin, and is being worked by Messrs. J. F., Tom and Berry Hilton. Two tons of ore were blasted up Saturday, and it was so rich with the yellow metal as to be worth at least $1 pound. One man gathered during the day 300 penny weights in nuggets, worth about SSOo.
 The find is about five miles from Hefin, in the direction of Arbacoochee While the news is rather meager it is undoubt- edly true, as it is vouched for by Mir. w.. A. Yeatman and other citizens of Hefin, who were in this city today. Great ex- citement is said to be prevailing. There are about twenty gold mines in Cleburne county, but none have ever been devel- oped very thoroughly.

 Jealousy

A Tragedy at Memphis Results From Insane
 Jealousy
 Memphis, Tenn, July 15.--At 6:15 this evening Jacob RothschiId was shot twice in the stomach and breast and instantly Killed by Dr. John D. White, a leading local physician. The tragedy occurred on the prominent section of Main street, on the sidewalk, in front of l.. H. Bald wins music store, in which .Rothschild was chief salesman. About ten minutes prior to the shooting White walked into the store, intercepting his victim just as he was leaving for the day. The two turned back into the store, sat and en- gagged in conversation. which appeared to be friendly. Finally they walked out, and just after reaching the sidewalk White evidently made an offensive re- mark. for his companion struck at him with small pocket knife. In an in- stant the doctor. holding pistol close to Rothschld's side, fired two shots.
 The tragedy was caused by a we'll con nected and widely known young woman, and the result of insane jealousy on the doctors part, though he is a man of family. His victim Is also married man, but his wife and two children live at Dallas, Tex. and he had said nothing tp tHe WoHldI HDOul U1elf existence. on ths contrary he had led her to believe he was single. On Tuesday night last, when 1iothschild was calling on the young woman, White sent her note by a mes- senger reading as follows: tTell your friend to meet me on the corner of Null berry and Beale streets and 1 will settle with him..
 Upon receipt of this it was shown to Rothschild by her and he changed his mind about leaving. as he was prearfng to do, and remained in the house until o'clock the next morning. At that time hc7did not even know the doctor by sig ht so the young man states but the next morning he called at his office and formed his acquaintance. Circumstances prompted the conclusion that the mur. der was deliberately planned.
 White is a man generally regarded as dangerous. Rothschild was about 34 years old and has been in Memphis since last October.

PHILosopHY of A RoueA MAN.
He Has Discovered That Any Calling Is
 Tiresome to Those Who Follow It.

He Has Discovered That Any Calling Is :. Tiresome to Those Who Follow It.
 He was poorly dressed and rough in appearance man but, nevertheless, he was something of philosopher. He was plod- ding along Ashland avenue near Sixtieth street, when a young man overlook him and made some inquiries as to a street in that part of the city. The street was about half milo away, so they continued the tramp along the rough wooden sidewalks together.
 "'Tain't so long ago, said the rough man finally, making motion toward brick pile near tho street, "since l used to pile them things for n living.
 .Hard work, I should think" suggested tho young man for want of something bet ter to say.
 "That's what it is."
 And monotonous.
 "What?"
 q say 1t must be monotonous-tire- some."
 "Oh, sure" Thon, after a pause, "So's everything clse."
 "Oh, there is variety in some things, protested the young man.
 "If n fellcr doesn't havo to do 'em, there is, returned the other, "but l guess any business is tiresome to tho Teller that has got to tend to it right along. l knowcd feller that worked in store-reg lar hours, rog'lar work and all that. But he got tired of it. Ho wanted variety, he said wanted to travel and have change all tho time. He got tho chance and grabbed it quick. He was sent here and thero and was on marching orders most of the timo lots of excitement and change, but he get tired of it. Actually kicked to get back at desk again, cause he said trav- cling was so blamed monotonous and tire some and he wanted a change. Same way with everybody, guess. Filing bricks is mighty hard and tiresome, and I'm doing better now, but sometimes l feels if I'd like to pile bricks again just for q change. There ain't anything that aint tiresome to the fellcr that's got to do it every day Whats ambition but hankering for a change, anyway? Tho only diff'renc be- tween people is that somo of 'em want change so bad that they'll go backward to get it. while the others have sense enough to swear and kick, but hang on till they can get it going forward.

A Report, Which Seems to Be Straiget, That the Southern Has Secured the

Atlanta, July 15.--For several days it has been a subject of common report that the Southern railway has secured control of the Seaboard Air Line sys- tenn. Seaboard officials here admit that they understand the reports are correct and they expect to lose their jobs when the Southern takes active possession The control has been secured, according to report, by the purchase of a majority of the common stock of the Seaboard and Roswell company.
 The Seaboard system reaches from Portsmouth to Atlanta, with steamship lines from Portsmouth to Baltimore, New York Providence and Bostoon. The railway mileage is about $50 miles. The Seaboard has been making a costly fight on the Southern, and it is stated the Southern considered it cheaper to buy it's rival than to fight it.
