Literary Notes.

The rumor that a Professorship OF Zig
fish Literature in Yale College has been
offered TO Mr. H. c. Stodman proves 10
be ancient history, and is based on the
fact that when Judge +. c. Billings or
the United States District Court at New
orleans died. in 1893, he left bequest
of So. 900 for the founding OF professor
ship of English literature in Yale College.
In March, 1894. President Dwight offered
the place TO Mr.. Stedman by unanimous
vote of the Faculty. Mr.. Stedman at
once declined II, giving his reasons, the
most important ones being his age and
the fact that the duties of the position
would have compelled him to-forego his
own literary labors.

tive programme for 1896. The piece de

THE NEGRO EXODUS.
Alabama Fields Left to Care for Them
selves-HOmeseekersf from North
ern States.

EUTAw, Ala, March 11.-Within
about forty days 500 negroes have
emigrated from Greene county to Mex
leo and several hundred are now
awaiting arrival of trains to take
them away. They are sacrificing their
mules, horses, cattle, etc, to enable
them to go, and renters are leaving
plantations they have leased for this
year. Owing to the late date other
renters cannot be obtained to make
the crop. This means much loss to the
landowners and to the railroads, as
the corn and cotton will not be grown
to freight away.
Much excitement exists here among
landowners over the negro exodus, but
it is probable that great deal of the
land will be taken by emigrants from
Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, Illinois,
Indiana and other states, and about
sixty homeseekers, from Tippecanoe
county, Ind, are shortly coming to
Eutaw to select and purchase plante
tions for their future homes. Owing
to the excited condition of the white
people it is not probable that further
efforts will be made by the railroad
people or by the paid immigrant agents
to induce the negroes to emigrate to
Mexico.

CAPTURED A WHALE.
An ''OId Settler" or the Massachusetts
Coast Captured by a Nahant Crew.

NOAbb AApbuNCu ny a NdAhub NIehs
BosToN, March ia whale about
seventy-fve feet in length and evil
IDENTIFY an old settler was killed off
Nahant Saturday by picked crew of
experienced men made up in Nahant
for the purpose.
Saturdays whaling party sighted
the monster about quarter of mile
off shore and proceeding cautiously Y
were able to get near enough to strike
MIN just behind the head with har-
poon. The whale, suddenly stung,
threw up his huge tail and disappeared
in a whirlpool of green water To the
harpoon was fastened about thirty
fathoms of line on the end of which
was a stout cask. This was thrown
overheard and in a moment it was
whisked out of sight by the whale in
his efforts to escape.
The whale came to the surface about
mile from where he had gone down,
swimming round and round, seem
ing to have the twine wound round
him. The hunters lay off and watched
his struggles, which made the water
boil
After awhile he quieted down so
that the whalers were able to get
within ten yards of him and put a
charge of slugs and bullets into his
head from an old-fashioned flint lock
and duck gum that soon had him
floating belly-up and stone dead. The
body was then towed to point near
Little Nah4nt beach, from which point
it is the intention to tow it as close in
shore as possible.
The whale is evidently an old one,
as he is half covered with seaweed.
Deeply imbedded in his back was an
ancient harpoon, badly rusted, but
with the inscription "Hiram X. Swain, ("
Nantucket. 1853" still legible.
The Nahant whalers are in high
glee, as there has been considerable
rivalry between them and their
Swampscott brothers over the pros

SERVED IN TWO WARS.
Tho Grip Almost Won Where the
Bullot Failed.
Our sympathies Always Enlisted in the
Infirmitles OF the Veteran.
tFrom ne Hsrala. Wooastock. "a


There is an old soldier in Woodstock, Va,
who served In the war with Mexico and in
the war of the rebellion, MIR. Levi MeInturff.
He passed through both these wars with
out serious wound. The hardships, how
ever, told seriously on him, for when the
grip attacked him four years ago it nearly
killed him. Who can look ON the infirmi-
ties of veteran without q feeling of the
deepest sympathyl His townspeople saw
him confined to his house so prostrated
with great nervousness that he could not
hold a knife and fork at the table, scarcely
able to walk too, and as he attempted it. he
often stumbled and fell. They saw him
treated by the best talent TO be had-but still
he suffered on for four years, and gave mp
finally in despair. One day, however, he
was struck by the account of q cure which
had been effected by the use of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills. He Immediately ordered a
box and commenced taking them. He
says he was greatly relieved within three
days time. The blood found its way to his
fingers and his hands which had been pal
sled assumed a natural color, and he was soon
enabled to use his knife and fork at the
table. He has recovered his strength to
such an extent that he is able to chop wood,
shock corn and do his regular work about
his home. He now says he can not only
mountains. He is able to lift up fifty-two
pound weight with one hand and says he
does not know what Dr. Williams Pink
Pills have done for others, but knows that
they have done a great work for him.
He was in town last Monday, court day.
and was loud in his praises of the medicine
that had given him so great relief. He pur-
chased another box and took it home with
him. Mr.. McInturff is willing to make
affidavit to these facts.
The proprietors of Dr. Williams Pink Pills
state that they are not patent medicine but
O prescription used for many years by an en-
inent practitioner who produced the most
wonderful results with them, curing all
forms of weakness arising from a watery
condition of the blood or shattered nerves,
two fruitful causes of almost every i'll to
which flesh is heir. The pills arS also
specific for the troubles peculiar to females,
such as suppressions, all forms of weak
ness, chronic constipation, bearing down
pains, etc, and in the case of men will givo
speedy relief and effect permanent cure in
all cases arising from mental worry, over
work, or excesses of whatever nature They
are entirely harmless and can be given TO
weak and sickly children with the greatest
good and without the slightestdanger. Pink

ATTEMPTED TRAIN wREcKlNo.
Ties Piled on the Track In Front of Fast
Express.

VALPARAISO, Ind, March 1L.-Satur-
day night, just before midnight, the
east bound fast express on the New
York, Chicago e. st. Louis railroad
struck pile of ties on the track about
five miles west of this city. The en-
gineer saw the obstruction too late to
stop, and the engine struck it with
such force as to knock part of them
from the track and push the other 200
yards before the train could be stopped.
The passengers were thrown from
their seats, but none seriously injured.
The engine had to be raised with jacks
before the ties could be removed from
under it.
1t is supposed to be the work of train
robbers, as numerous tracks were
found around that point.
This point is an ideal place for train
robbers, being in deep cut and away
from any telegraph station. Two
well-dressed strangers were seen loiter-
ing in the country near there Satur-
day afternoon, and are supposed to
have been implicated with local talent.

LONDON, March 1.-THE Central

this dispatch which was sent from

''The first division reports that the

sion of mine in the Chinese line of

Saturday Gen. Nodzu reported that
his army, with the aid of the first divi-
sion, had attacked the Chinese at Ten
chantai that morning. The Japanese
| advanced from three directions, one
force coming from the east, one from
the northeast and the third from the
northwest.
A hot artillery fire was opened at z
a. m. and under its cover the three
bodies of troops stormed the town
shortly before 1920. The Chinese
numbered 10000 or more At first
they fought stubbornly, but eventu-
ally they broke and ran, throwing
down their arms and making no effort
to save standards or baggage Most
of the Chinese fed to the northwest.
Although the Japanese loss was but
100 killed, the Chinese left more than
1000 dead and dying in and around the
town. All the enemy's war material
was captured. The town caught fire
during the fight, and before night was
burned to the ground
Gen. Nodzu has been promoted to
the rank of marshal.
