Magnolia Dots.
Cor. Christian Culver.

Magnolia negro voters marched to
the polls; some did not have Registra-
ton tickets; some had old ones and
they could not vote. Some few had
new Registration tickets and were al
lowed to vote.
NJ. NJ. Mcbride, the precinct chair
man, who always is on time, had his
men well arranged and well discip-
lined. John l.. Adams and A. H.
Nash, noble negro boys, were at their
places with ink and pen, and recorded
the voters and the non-voters.
Magnolia stood on Republicanism as
she did in 1875. Although a good
many could not vote, they showed
themselves men by coming to the box.
Everything was quiet, but the negros
came to vote and went to vote, but the
Registration laws prevented them.
But some did vote. The managers did
not prohibit any that had Registration
tickets from voting.
A little mistake was made at first as
to the place where the voting was to
be. 1t was given out to be at the Has
kell place, which was a mistake; so a
large crowd met there. But p. W..
Hampton advised them to 60 Latimer
Station which was right. So J. L..
Adams and the boys moved on there.

soon. Ola Park.

Saving Reef.

send you a receipt for saving beef
during the summer seasons, which /
think is of vast importance to the South
as we can raise cattle with but little
trouble, and by this process can save
the largest OK in midsummer for any
length of time. put up for my own
family one-quarter to One-half beef
weekly, and have not lost any in the
past three months. l do not claim
anything for myself except the appli-
cation, and my object is to give my eXs
perience to others that they may be
benefited.
Recip.--For 100 pounds of beef.
take five pounds of fine salt, two ounces
of saltpetre, and two ounces OF good
mOlasseS.
Directions.-Cuty your beef in con-
venient pieces, taking out the marrow
bones. Incorporate the salt and salt
petre together on board or table.
Take the beef, piece by piece, and rub
the salt we'll icto the flesh. Then have
q cask of convenient size, prepare In
the following manner
Wash it we'll in the inside, then
smoke it for 10 or l5 minutes with corn
shucks or cobs, or anything that will
make dense smoke. (do not burn the
cask J let it cool for few minutes, them
put the beef in layers as close as posi-
ble, pouring the molases over each lay
err. When all is thus placed in the
cask, put a cover on top with sufficient
weight to keep the meat down, and in
the course Of or 10 hours the meat will
be covered with brine. Use no water
When thus prepared, you can use it as
steaks or roasts as you desire, as there
is no more salt in it than will make it
palatable.

The First Saw.

What a funny thingw said little
Tom, taking up brother Johns saw.
"It's only saw, silly" said John.
"But who made it? who found out
the funny thing?,' persisted Tom, as
the saw worked back ward and forward,
separating the hard wood which no
knife could cut.
"Oh, all carpenters have it," said
John, disdainfully.
Still little Tom watched and Won
dered. Then the big brother spoke.
II know, little lad. I'll tell you.
Long, long ago greek sculptor, called
DIEdalus, divided a piece of wood
with the toothed bone of serpent ;
and it answered SO we'll. that he imitat-
ed the teeth in iron. This was theWay
the first saw was made.n
'Is that true?" asked Tom.
"Quite true, believe" said the big
brother, in answer.
Every funny" said little Tom.

DEATH OF MRS. mCoE.
Anti-Toxine Treatment Was Used But
 Another Trouble Set Tn.

Anh-Toxine Treatment Was Used But
 Another Trouble Set In.
 Mrs. Annie E. McCoe, wife of Bernard McCoe, janitor of the public library died yesterday morning of diphtheria at about o'clock.
 Mrs. McCoe resided at A Edwards street and was forty-four years old. She leaves no children. The funeral services were held yesterday forenoon and were private, and the body was taken to Springfield, Mass, for inter- ment.
 In Mrs. McCoe's case the anti-toxine treatment was twice used, but the fact that she died is not an indication that the serum was ineffectual for there was evidently in the case a complication of some lung trouble closely allied to pneumonia, if not in fact that particular disease.
 There is no question in the minds of the physicians that the treatment gave great relief to the sufferer, and was of benefit to the late Mrs. McCoe while her principal trouble was diphthe- ria. The three physicians who were in consultation in the case harmonize thoroughly as to the case and the treat ment The deceased had lived on Ed wards street for a number of years, and formerly for many years resided on Humphrey street, near State street.

NEW TEAR IN THIBET.

The Strange Customs of that Far-Of Lands
 The inhabitants of Lassa, the sacred temple of Thibet, who, for centuries, have lived singularly apart from the rest of the world, celebrate their New Year festival in a manner suggestive of the ancient Romans and Hebrews.
 The Thibetan year begins about the middle of our February, and as at this time all the gods and goddesses are supposed to be in Lassa, many of the country people come also to pay homage to them, and unite in prayers for the welfare of the land, For a month the regular magistrates retire, resembling in this respect the Roman Saturnalia, and a Lama, who is called the Jalno, takes their place.
 He makes it his business to inquire closely into the habits of the citizens, and to punish their misdeeds by heavy fines. From fear of this many of the rich leave Lassa at this time, while the poor, who are very dirty, now sweep and whitewash their houses to avoid being punished for their uncleanliness.
 At the end of the month there is vicarious sacrifice to propitiate the deit- ies, which is curiously like that of the scapegoat of the Levitical law. The Jalno summons a man to his presence and plays dice with him. If the man wins there is a general mourning, and it forbodes great evil to the land. If the man loses their is great rejoicing, for the gods are believed to have ac- cepted him as victim for all the sins of the people.
 With his face painted black and white and wearing a leather coat, he is driven from the city by a hooting and shout ing multitude. He Is not left to perish in the wilderness, however,but Is con ducted to a distant monastery. If he dies before the year is over, 1t is regard ed as a very favorable omen, but if he lives he is allowed to return and again to act the part of scapegoat for his countrymen's sins.
 The various festivals and ceremonies being over, the people are regarded as having been purified in body, soul and houses. The Jalno- accordingly lays down the powers intrusted to him, and retires to his monastery, and the Rajah resumes his authorilty.

THE YALE-ST0RRS CONTEST.
ARBLTERS SELECTED BY PARTIES
 IN INTEREST.

The Hon. Henry c. Robinson Will Repre-
 sent the University-The Hon. Jeremiah
 Halsey as Third Arbiter.
 In the contest now pending between Yale university and the Storrs Agri- culturol college for the possession of the Merrill fund, which was established by act of congress in 1862, and the an- nual appropria tions from the national government by congressional act of 1890, the authorities at Yale have de- cided to accept of the states provision made in the act of 1893, diverting the funds from Yale to storrs, to arbitrate the question at issue.
 The university has appointed the Hon. Henry c. Robinson of Hartford as arbiter, representing Yale. The ar bitter appointed by the general assem- bly,, two years ago, is the Hon. Dwight Loomts of Hartford, ex-associate jus tice of the supreme court. Messrs. Loomis and Robinson have selected the Hon. Jeremiah Halsey of Norwich as third arbiter. The two new arbiters, Messrs. Robinson and Halsey, are Yale men, the former graduating in the famous class of '53.
 The three gentlemen are among the foremost members of the Connecticut bar, and the interests, legal educa- tional and equitable, which are to be decided, could not be entrusted to men of greater intelligence and justice in the state.

He follow ed the sea from boyhood, sailing for some time as mate with elder brothers.
