Strange Statements Contained In Some
Literary Essays.
r. Russell, superintendent OF educa.
ton, appears to dclight-as well he
may do-in publishing the funny little
blunders that some of the candidates
perpetrate ut the collective exa1nina-
ton. Here are u few gems" which
were selected from some MSS. which
were not sent in for the Natal Witness
literary prize competition:
Her hand was cold, like TINT OF a
serpent
''The countess was about TO reply
when a door opened and closed her
mouth"
"'Ha! haH he exclaimed in Portu.
guese."
"ple colonel paced backward and
forward with his hands behind his
back, reading the newspaper"
'The man was dressed in velvet
jacket, with pants of the same color. Z"
All this seems very ridiculous, but
similar blunders have been made by
some of our best novelists. For in
stance, Anthony rrollope, in one Of his
works, speaks Of man walking down
the street whistling, with cigar in his
mouth" Some of the authors friends
drew his attention to the absurdity,
but Trollope stoutly maintained that
1t was possible to whistle with cigar
in ones mouth. However, he could not
do it when challenged, and have been
no more successful myself.

An American lady in Russia gives the
following charming account of the first
Russian court ball of the season: The
ball opened with polonnise, in which
the whole imperial family took part, be-
sides all the ambassadors and other
great personages. Most Russian dances
are very lively, this mazurlia especially
so, and very graceful when well per-
formed The cotillon is always an inn
portant feature, and there are also
other somewhat similar dances, but
bearing other names. The waltz is as
fashionable in Russia asanywhcre else.
A gentleman who is known to dance
well is selected as dirigcur or leader
for the evening and superintends every
dance that takes place. At the first
court ball the dancing is usually rather
quiet and stiff, the etiquette being
strictly maintained, so to speak, in
spead of the free aud easiness of the
smaller and more select dances, which
are attended by few hundreds of the
uristocrucy and official classes of the
highest order, all of whom are on inti-
lnate terms with one another"

A novelty at the last white house re-
ception was lady who was attircd al
most like man. She had observed the
convenience of mans evening suit.
She knew, says Vanity, that it was prop
err for all evening occasions, from u
horse show to the grandest ball of the
elite. She decided to approach it as
nearly in her own costume as the law
would permit. Shehad her tailor make
her dress cont and waistcoat exactly
like mans. She had shirt made exact
lylike meu'sshirts She had link cuffs,
made like mans. In the cuffs aud in
the shirt she wore the daintiest little
pearl buttons of the newest design.
Her hair was short and parted in the
middleton all the world like that of
"Bertie" or Adolphus. She wore mar
row, close.ftting, black skirt, and by
this alone her sex was indicated. OF
course she attracted more attention
than even Mrs. Cleveland; but she met
curiosity with Indifference.

a QUEER FUNERAL.
Thirty Empty nacks followed tho Re,

mains to the Grave.
Providence had sensation in the
shape of an Italian funeral in which
the hearse was followed by thirty empty
hacks, says the Providence Or. ~ Jour.
nal. This innovation was ,mprece-
dented even in Little Italy" whence
the citizens OF Providence have come
to expect many strange things.
The funeral was that of Gabriel Fer.
ri, who died after three months lin.
gcring illness ut the Rhode Island hos
pital. When it was rumored among
the Italians that the sickness with
which the man was stricken would be
his last, no one doubted that his three
nephews, who are his only relatives in
this country, would be the fortunate
heirs of his estates. In fact, even two
months ago Mr.. Ferri made his last
will and testament, in which he did
bequeath all his earthly possessions to
these same eXpectant young men.
However, time works wonders, and
the nephews, not having the craft that
is usually imputed to young men whose
rich uncles are seriously sick, neglected
10 overwhelm the uncle with presents
and marks of esteem. They visited him
at his sick bed, but were loath to ex-
pend their hnrd-earned ducats upon
presents which are las cloud that
vanisheth."
This sad neglect was never forgiven,
and Signor Ferri called for his recently
made will, and, tearing it to shredls,
made new document, by the pro-
visions of which most of the property
will be bestowed upon the poor of Ital-
ian nationality.
His housekeeper was the only one TO
receive direct legacy. and she was
honored with three hundred dollars
and the furniture of his establishment.
The most remarkable provision of
the will was that the empty hacks
should follow his hearse in the process
sion, us symbol of the empty sorrow
of the unfortunate relatives.

WINSTON .SALKM, n. O., Sept.

WINSTON .SALKM, N. c., Sept. 3.
Winston shipped 1,147, 755 pounds of
manufactured tobacco during August,
an increase of $40, 443 pounds over the
same month last year. The stamp sales
for last month were sos, SOS 80, an in
crease of $50, 426 Sc, over the same
month last year. The sales of leaf to-
bacco on the Winston market during
August aggregated 430,S16 pounds, a
decrease of 5S1, 5SS pounds below August,
1894
The Winston graded schools opened
yesterday with fattering prospects for a
very large attendance. Over 600 pupils
were enrolled. The opening exercises
were held in the chapel of the West Win
ston school and an appropriate address
was delivered by Mr.. J. @. Buxton,
Chairman of the School Committee.
The negro, Dave Koontz, who was IL
jured in Winston's recent riot, was
brought back from High Point yesterday
and Is now in Jail. He has one finger
shot off, besides bad wound in the leg.
He says he did not participate in the riot
but was only there as spectator.
There were 10 deaths in Winston dur
ing August, five being white and four
teen colored.
Mr.. Pedro A. Anderson arrived here
yesterday from South America with two
daughters and two sons. The former
will attend the Salem Academy, and the
latter the Davis school.
Mr. @. II. B. Leonard and Miss Bessie
Jones, of Davidson county, were united
in marriage last Sunday at the home Of
ESQUIRE Beard, near Midway. 1t was a
runaway match and the girls parents
were bitterly opposed to the match, but
the young folks were too cunning for
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones, and the ceremony
was performed without the use of any
deadly weapons.
Many of Winston's and Salem's business
men are interested In the Roanoke &
Southern Railroad between Winston and
Roanoke, Va. Many are now of the opin-
ion that the Norfolk IL Western, which
leased the road several years ago, will
give it up by the non payment Of interest
due on the bonds. 1t looks now like the
Baltimore & Ohio will get control of the
road
Micajah Watts, colored, who was one
of tho leaders in Winston's recent riot,
and who was sentenced to six months on
the county roads, declined to work few
days ago when the superintendent had
him severely whipped. The negro is now
working without murmur.
A farmer and his wife, living few
miles northwest of Winston, came near
losing their lives last Saturday evening
