A BATTLE IN THE HIGHWAY.

Saturday afternoon there was a
lively battle in the public road near
Sugar Creek church, between a man
and his wife on one side, and a man,
wife and daughter on the other side.
1t was about a pair of watermelons.
The parties yer colored, and were
going home in the same wagon. They
had invested in two watermelons, and
at Sugar creek church, where the road
forks, Sam Caldwell and his wife &C.
lected their melon to take home. The
other crowd thought Caldwell had got
the biggest mellon, and there was trou-
BILE on hand in short order. In the fight
which ensued, the melon in dispute
was smashed on the ground and con
verted into muddy pulp as the wave Of
battle surged to and fro over it. Two
town boys, coming along in a buggy,
say that the show beat a cat fight.
Caldwell and his wife not only got
whipped and lost their melon, but had
to stand and see the victorious crowd
drive off in triumph with the melon
that didn't get broke. ALI about in the
road were apron strings, pieces of dress
and tufts of hair.-ChdrLotte NeoUs.

excuse was left them, for the cause was
assigned. THAT special man must be
downed." He was not of their pol1t-
zeal faith. He had outvoted them. He
would not do just as they demanded.
He had dared to vote for a colored man
in a colored ward as school commits
sioner over a colored graded school.
He had voted this vote that was damna-

more, were protesting Christians, pro
Tossing to do to others as they would
have others do to them. Nor was this
ell. Many men and women applauded
the action and rejoiced in the robbery.
Such is some of the justice melted out
by men called justices of the peace.
Such is the practical doing to others as
these protesting Christians would have
others do to them. They possibly
thought it a smart trick to Illustrate
the will of the people and rob a man
because they could vent their spite
under cover of law. But a day will

mischief and bring forth iniquity."
My brethren, if we would enjoy the
smiles and favors of God, if we would
so run that we may obtain, if we would
enjoy peace and happiness in the eter-
nal world, let us keep judgment and
do justice here on earth, here In active
life, in home relations, in business, in
governmental relations, in politics even.
Let us know of a surety that religion is
not a Sunday garment to be laid aside
on Monday morning.
Religion is a matter of the heart, a
being willing to treat others as we
would wish to be treated. God does
not close ev es to political sin, but holds
us responsible for that as much as for
Sunday sin.
May God help US to Keep judgment
and do justice.

PRINTING BY TELEGRAPH.
An Electrical Typewriter That Transmits
Printed Characters.


The printing telegraph, though de-
vice Of comparatively recent develop
ment, has been the subject of ceaseless
investigation, and practical workers in
electricity have directed their whole at
tention in some instances to the trans
mission of messages and the recording
Of them in plain Roman characters.
Its advantages are simply those of all
electrical typewriter, by means of which
the message is printed i'll the presence
of the transmitting operator i'll page
form, and duplicate Of the same print
ed at all tie receiving stations on the
line, whether it be long or short Cir
cult. A single transmission prints it
simultaneously in page form ready for
the compositor's case i'll all the news
paper offices of many cities.
1t is said to differ materially from all
other known means Of telegraphy i'll one
essential particular. In it the impulses
move the Instruments, whereas i'll other
systems the instruments move the i'm
pulse-that is to say, the transmitter Ct
che message is caused to run by sepa-
rate power. No combination of cleo
trical impulse OF currents is employed.
An even succession of dots OF impulses,
which operate the polarized relay arma-
cure at the receiving station, places the
revolving type wheel i'll the required
position, when the local mechanism
causes the letter to be printed.
The apparent impossibility of trans
uniting printed characters 500 or 1000
miles over d single wire at once presents
itself to the mind, and it is overcome in
this system, it is asserted, in very
simple way. Each letter of the alphabet
is represented by a certain number Of
impulses, which revolve the type wheel
to the required position, when the let
tiers are struck by the local mallet,
Fourteen impulses represent the en-
tire alphabet, making a complete revolu-
ton Of the type wheel, which may be
turned 200 revolutions per minute, thus
securing very rapid printing. Its advan
tage also is that of absolute secrecy as a
means of communication. The advan-
tage Of the printing telegraph for the
transmission of news to the newspaper
offices is unquestionably a subject COM
manding attention on the part of pro-
gressive proprietors. Paper and Press.

Water Column os, coo, 900 Miles Long

The finite mind is utterly incapable
of framing all idea Or of making a COM
parison that will properly illustrate the
vast amount of water now existing i'll
the five great oceans of our planet. Let
us see: One gallon Of water weighs ten
pounds, and figures on the area and
depth of the Pacific show that there are
approximately 100000, 900, 10000 of
such gallons of water in that ocean
alone. The Atlantic could be put down
i'll the basin Of the Pacific, and only fill
it one third full. The Indian, the Arctic
and Antarctic oceans, combined with
the other two, would give an area for
the five of 142, 100000 square miles.
Formed into a circle this would make
I'D ocean IL, 600 feet in depth and 49,,
900 miles from bank to bank. The
contents would be about 1875, 900, 900
cubic miles Of water. If standpipe
could be built from the earth to the
sun, SO that we could have column of
water SO, 100000 miles i'll length that
standpipe would have to be made ~
miles in diameter to hold the water now
contained in the five great oceans It
has been figured that it would take
$500, 900 years for the water of the Pa
cifc to flow over Niagara. the volume
being continually as great as that which
is now plunging over the falls.-St.
