The wedding rln" Is almost Invariably
placed on the fo y finger of the left
hand and all because many centuries ago
the Egyptians believed that a certain small
artery proceeded directly from the heart to
the termination of that digit. In the AT
tick Nights" we read: The motion Of this
artery may be felt by touching this finger
to the pulse, 1t being an index in cases of
sickness, or where persons are weary or
ovcrlsbored, always informing when the
heart is overburdenSa or offended, Far
ther on in the same article he says: "Thie
finger really hath gout on account of the
sympathy and neighborhood 1t hath with
the heart. 1t Is the first finger that n new
born babe is able to move, and the last OF
which the dying man loseth control. 1t Is
also the ono last TO swell when the vital
heat is abe"ng in one that is passing

A curious instance Of "how small q |
matter kindleth strife" was many |
wears back afforded in connection with |
the boxes In which English seamen
keep their needles and such-like
things These same ''ditty boxes"
were in former days very nearly the
cause of a serious mutiny in one OF the
flaQships, in which the not overwise
commander, upon newly joining, be-
ran the practice of throwing over.
board any such boxes he caught sight
of on going his morning rounds OF In
spection, considering that they spoiled
the effect of the sets OF china with
which all the mems mess tables were
adorned.
It happened that numerous visitors,
generally escorted by this commander,
came to see the flagship and, of course,
admired the neatness OF the crews
mess places, and especially the show
of china, which was pointed out with
pride by him. One afternoon, how
ever, after there had been during the
morning an especial search for and
large capture Of boxes, which were
then thrown overheard, the seamen,
Justly enraged at this destruction OF
their little necessaries, rose en- masse
and smashed the whole of the much
admired crockery. The marines, how.
ever would not follow suit, and
eifectually resisted the efforts to smash
| their china made by the sailors, who
desired to thus complete their work o.
destruction. These seamen then
rushed up on the forecastle. During
the destruction of crockery the over
| excited mate of the lower deck kept
frantically brandishing his sword, but

The noise made reused the comman
der, who, rushing up to the quarter
deck, called for the marines, and
ordered them to load their muskets
At this point the mate of the upper
deck and the mate of the main deck
who knew the seamen well from long
and close experience, stepped up to thu
commander and begged him, instead o
causing the marines to load, to pip
the crew down, which he did; and thel
these two mates went forward, and
speaking kindly. induced the seamel

while some of their comrades were en-
deavoring to break open the powde

an end to, leaving the seamen the vi

WILL BENEFrT ALL.

There Is a sentiment prevailing to a greater or less extent throughout the agricultural portions of the State that the principal benefits likely to accrue from the Alabama exhibit at Atlanta will attach to the mineral portion of the State. If this were a fact State pride should be strong enough to not let one section bear the principal burden of this exhibit because indirectly the entire State would be benefited. even though the direct benefit should be confined to one section. There cannot be any mate- rial advancement of any part of the State without the remainder reaping profit from it. This is self-evident for the increased wealth of that special DOT tion yields 8 larger tax for the whole, enabling the poorer districts to receive State benefits that otherwise would not be obtainable.
 But the fact is that the agricultural sections will be the ones directly bene- fitted by this exhibit Take the illustra tion of the forty Iowa families that re- gently settled within trading distance of Montgomery; a few more such would largely swell the trade of every class of merchants in that city, as would be the case of all other towns in the State, and yet thousands of such settlers can be had as direct return from this exhibit. It is the farming classes that wish to come South. They are not foreigners, but American citizens, and will become the wealth producers of the State in greatly augmented degree if properly encouraged but they will go elsewhere unless encOIlraped and in no way can this be more effectively done than in creditable exhibit at Atlanta.
 All sections are therefore interested. and all should be only too glad to aid this truly State enterprise.
