And Browning of the Flower Queen on
 Next Saturday Afternoon.
 The children of Henley school are work. ing busily on their entertainment for next Saturday afternoon. They will have two parts, one the festival of flowers, the other a fairy scene, in which fairies, elves, etc, appear and make the welkin ring with their joyful music. In the first Mamie Mackey takes the part of Rose, queen of the flowers; Stella Fowler is Chrysanthemum Gussie Hickman IS Hollyhock, Dick Hundly is the Thistle; John McCasky is the modest, blushing Sunflower, while the national flower, goldenrod is represented by Frank Ma kin, and Pearl Fordyce personates the pure and spotless lily. Then there is Violet with a whole chorus of her kind, and Buttercups and Daisies. too
 In part second Florence Heidelberg is the fairy queen and Mamie Deacy and Linda May Handley are her attendants, and surely never had queen more daz- zlng retinue than has this charming fairy queen.
 Then the wand drill introducing the minuet, the grand dance of colonial days, and the dumb bell exercise which Pro- lessor Miles is teaching the boys are both very interesting.
 Some catchy little solos will be intro duced, with mandolin accompaniment by Rosa Dorn, one of the pupils. Altogether the "bill of fare" is rich and varied for the price, 25 cents, and the proceeds, too, are for the Atlanta exhibit, a fact which in itself ought to fill the house.

 Sing Sing, N. Y., April 22.-Warden Same having been officially notified by Governor Morton that the latter will not interfere in pr. Buchanans case, has fixed next Wednesday morning at Il o'clock for the execution of Buchanan. Invitations to witnesses requesting them to be present in prison at that time have been sent out.
 Buchanan, who two weeks ago showed signs of breaking down, is now display ing wonderful nerve. He still has hope, and told his wife so when she called on him yesterday afternoon. When she asked him if he was preparing to meet death he replied that he had not come up to that yet and that he would not give up all hope until a final appeal was made to Governor Morton. When Mrs. Buchanan took leave of her husband he made her promise to go to Albany this morning and ask Governor Morton to grant him respite of thirty days.

vaux,s Kindness to a Stranger.

Now that both are dead it is interesting to recall that back in the fifties the late Daniel Dougherty, who had just graduated from his law studies, one day meeting at Sixth and Chestnut streets Dick Vaux, as his friends falniliarly called him, asked him if he knew of any office he could rent, saying he wanted to hang out his sign near the old state house. Vaux looked at the young man thoughtfully, measuring him up for 8 moment, and said: "Why, yes, I know of just the place for you. Come right along with me. But you can only have it on one condition, and that is that you shall never pay rent" So Dough erty hung out his sign on the second floor of what is now the Ledger building, where Tom Florence subsequently, member of congress, occupied the first floor for his hat store. Vaux had his offices on the second floor and kept Dougherty to his agreement until he built up good practice and went elsewhere. Philadelphia Times.

OPINIONS OF THE PUBLIC,
Kind Words for the Age-Heralds Easter Souvenir
 by Press and Public.

Clayton Courier: The Easter edition of the Age-Herald was a hummer. It. was the largest and the most interesting edition ever issued from a newspaper office in the state. It's staff is composed of twenty-one persons-three of them women.
 Randolph Toier: The Birmingham Age-Herald's Easter Sunday edition was daisy. It gave 8 full description of it's five linotype machines for composition, and invites the public to visit the office and witness the machines quick, correct and efficient work. We hope it will dis card the old stereotype plates as they are an eye-sore to the busy reader.
 Bessemer Weekly: The Age-Herald since the advent of it's battery of lno- types certainly presents more metropol- itan appearance and exhibits life and enterprise that have been rather foreign to it's past management It's min1on dress is beautiful and the general appearance of the paper is vastly improved Captain OBrien, it's proprietor, has entered into the building up of the Age-Iierald With dauntless zeal and determinations lie IS a business man of unusual sagacity. lie has already invested over $50,000 in the ge-Herald, and is the heir and legatee of prior investments to the amount-of over $200, ,000 and has every incentive to coll summate a realization
 The field is an excellent one and the op- portunity is certainly pressing. May the captains highest hopes be realized.
 The Easter edition of the Age-Herald, the first in it's new dress, thirty-six pages, was superb, probably the best paper ever issued in Alabama.

co-operatiye Farming.

Several new ideas on farming have re-
Gently come to the front.
One of these is the Minnesota plan Of
Cooperative farming, which is explained
by the Minnesota Times.
The plan proposed by the association
started i'm Minneapolis, and which is
called the Sismondi Cooperative Associa-
tion, is to sell shares of stock at So per
share, the money TO be paid i'm until 50, 900
shall have been subscribed Payments
are to be made for the purchase Of land
and other purposes provided for In the
articles of association. When n sufficient
sum has been raised tract of land will
be purchased The farming land will be
held and worked i'm common, and all
stock and utensils will be so owned; but
village lots will be sold to members.
These lots and the houses built upon
them will be personal property subject
only TO the restriction that they shall not
be used for the manufacture or sale Of
any article OF authorized by the corpora
ton. Labor, whether in the field, the
blacksmith shop or the store, is to be paid
out of the common profits at a rate fixed
by proper authorities.
The Times thinks those who are fnmil-
lar with the success Of the cooperative
coopcrs of Minneapolis and who know
anything of the great development of that
gigantic enterprise, the Rochdale Cooper
ative Association, which started with the
contribution Of few pennies each from
some associated laborer, Will have faith in
the success of this new move toward CO.
operation.
While on this subject of the growth of
what may be called the farming senti-
ment we note that the st. Paul Pioneer
Press says that the sales of farm lands
in Minnesota and the DakOtas is larger
now than it has been for years. All the
railroads in that neighborhood with un-
sold lands are disposing OF an unusual
number of acres, and the best of it is the
buyers are actual occupiers who propose
to go into diversified farming. This
seems to support the assertion made in
several quarters recently, for instance, by
the Philadelphia Press, that the people
are getting back to the farms again.
Another indication Of like tenor is the
fact that the cities Of the northwestern
states, in many instances, are not show
ing the proper growth in population.
Censuscs taken this year in that quarter
have evoked a general chorus of COM
plant against the enumerators. The real
cause of the shortage seems to be the
growth of the rural population at the ex-
pense Of the urban.

OF all things that have been suggested

OF all things that have been suggested
in connection with the strained relations
between England and america, the most
ridiculous, says the Dispatch, is the az
vice Of Lord Dunraven's English friends
TO not come to this country lest the yacht
controversy shall become the spark that
will cause war explosion. Dunraven,
who has been In America several timer,
has embarked for New York regardless of
the advice given him. While the lluke in
the late yacht race has not made Dunrav-
en- popular in this country and his late
charges of unfalrness have not increased
his popularity, he evidently knows he has
no need to fear violence at the hands of
tho American people, or of inhaming
their warlike sentiments by yacht race
squabble. If he should forget himself
and call any member of the yacht COM
mittee a liar, he might get knocked down
and tramped on, but Americans would
not regard that as an international CON-
Dlication.

Prof. Jomes sonImmortality.

Prof William james, of Harvard Uni
versity, has unique way of putting his
belief in immortality. We extract from
his recent address before the Young Mons
Christian Association ,of that institution,
the following pithy sentences:
confess that do not see why the very
existence of an invisible world may not In
part depend on the personal response
which any one Of us may make to the re-
ligious appeal God himself, in short,
may draw vital strength and increase of
very being from our fidelity. For my own
part, | do aot know what the sweat and
blood and tragedy of this life mean, If they
mean anything short of this. If this life
be not real fight in which something is
oternally gained for the universe Dy sue
cess, 1t is no better than u game of private
thcatrcals from which one may withdraw
at will But 1t feels like u real fight; as
if there were, something really wild in the
universe which we, with all our localities
and faithfulhess, ary needed to redeem.
And first o. all to redeem our own hearts
from athcisms and fears. For such n half
wild, half-savcd universe our nature is
adapted
These, then, are my last words to you
BE not afraid of life. Believe that life is
worth living, and your belief will help
create the fact The scientific proof"
that you are right may not be clear before
the day of judgement Tor some stage Of
being which that expression may serve to
symbolizc) is reached. But the faithful
fighters of this hour, or the beings that
then and there will represent them, may
then turn TO the faint-hcarted who here
decline to go on, with words like those
with which Henry ~. greeted the tardy
CrillOn after great victory had been
gained !" Hang yourself, Crillon we fought
at Argues, and you were not there"
Prof. James first statement that faith
in the invisible world-thc very existence
of it-may depend upon the personal re
sponsc of the individual to the religious
sentiment, might have been illustrated by
the fact that poems that are joy and an
inspiration to one man are dead letters TO
the unrcsponsive. He whose spiritual ma
turc is attuned with that Of the poet needs
no argument TO produce the conviction
that there is a spiritual as well as phys
ical existence The stOlid and Indifferent,
who can see no lines but the perpendicu-
lar and horizontal, and who deal only in
the kind of facts that they can weigh and
handle, simply shut themselves out of
that which is precious boon to Others
He who responds is the one who possesses

To Wipe Ontthe snIoons.

While the national congress attracts the
avn little legislature that sits Mt Column
B4us is Of far more mportance--because it
is nearer to the people and their immedi-
Kte interests. The coming session of the
Ohio lawmakers will be important in
Iahre ways than one. One Of the very
first bills that win be introduced and
Sought to finish is bill that has the
hquor traffic for target. The State of
Ohio at present gets about 81, 750, 900 each
ynr from the traffic of Intoxicating
liquors, This is a neat sum and helps
amazingly in paying whole lot Of ex-
pnnses the state has. But the extinction
81 nearly million dollars of revenue does
not bother the persons back of the move
Enent. The loss of so great sum, they
NY will be more than offset by the clos
sng up and hence stoppage of the expense
a an county inhrmaries, jails, aims
houses, asylums, penitentiaries and all
Uther charitable and penal institutions.
Tho fighters Of the liquor traffic say that
all such institutions would go out of ex-
istence If the sale Of liquor was stopped.
We do not think they reason logically or
from reasonable premises yet it is the
ground they take,
The fighters of the liquor traffic do not
intend TO oppose so powerful an enemy as
Il,OOO saloons the brewers and distillers
81 che state by bold and open stroke.
The method Of determination is little
Fasier and not so apparent ON It's face.
Tho scheme Is TO regulate the sale Of
Hquor by local option. The bill win be in
aniicate language, but full Of meaning,
and once In operation would wipe out
1hree-fourths Of the saloons OF the state.
