Of All New England's Fine Things There

 These old New England pastures and hillsidos what amazing secrets arc locked up in their rugged bosoms-more wonder full by far than all the dreams of alchemy Who, to look at them, would ever predict the marvellous things they produce for us, season after seasonp And of all the fine things with which they annually present. us none Is better than tho bluoberry. simple, unaffected fruit, both in growth and appearance, yet remarkably satisfying to tho human taste. Gathered by a strag gling but tireless army of sunbonneted and straw halted piokers, this crystallized nectar of the hills is sent abroad through the land into homes of both rich and poor "a welcome guest everywhere.
 And of all tho flne things to which the blueberry contributes or into which it Is made who that was unacquainted with such mysteries could ever have predicted such Q delcctable dish as blueberry piep Not the pie of commerce of course, nor the restaurant pie, nor yet the hotel pie, but tho pic your mother used to make or which your wife or your sister can make now if they have not been cheated of their New England heritage of knowing how to cook. A dainty, brown, 1aky crust has the gen. uine bluebcrry pie It is made up in a dish not too deep-"just deep enough"- which holds, under this hope quickening crust, lake of purple, mouth watering, soul ensnaring fruit-a half liquid quag- miro in which tho plump blue spheres have drowned themselves in their own richness.
 The bluoborry has 0 delicate but dis tinot flavor of its own, which should never be smothercd by mixing with any others in pic. Uniting happily and nat urally with the sugar, it forms delicious sirup which no under crust ought to be allowed to absorb. For perfect success n subtle balance of parts is needed, not too much crust, not too little fruit and sirup, the exact adjustment of which Is rarely oompassed by any but a native Now Eng lander-it is bred In tho bono. Thero is, too, but ono time to eat blueberry pie, and that is when it has been out of the oven just half an hour. At exactly this moment whole one is just enough for . well man. Boston Transcript.

were at tho house In New York, very much overcome with their loss and the fear of being punished as smugglers, fear which he very much fed, by the way, by telling them some awful stories of what happened to people who were caught trying to beat the custom house. The diamonds, when sold, if I remember correctly, were taken by Tiffany and brought between S9,000 and 0,000. The share due the informer was over $4,000.

Why It Moves.

Speaking of the removal of the Jack sonville Republican. paper that has been published at the same place for fifty nine consecutive years. the Ever green Courant gives the following as the reason:
 "Anniston has proven a city of refuge to the Jacksonville Republican, which was set upon by its gold bug neighbors for advocating the free silver fallacy. The Republican is about the ablest pa- per in the state, and until recently one of the finest properties of the sort in the country. The Republican has stood by Jacksonville for nearly three score years, fighting her battles in season and out of season. It was largely instrumental in securing for Jacksonville one of the state colleges, and through Its untiring efforts aided in securing various enter priSes for the town, and attracting many settlers to the community. It has on different occasions prevented Annlston from wrestling the court house from Jacksonville, and was about to succeed in it's latest effort in that direction when, to preserve it's life, it was forced to for sake it's house. and flee its enemies. It carries with it to Anniston several thousand subscribers, and the hearty support of the entire county, outside Of Jacksonville. It can also carry with IL the court house and leave behind lone- some town. It Is strange that business men should. let little political differ ence carry them so far"

son liable to the charge of disloyalty to the party to criticise the acts or opinions of the president. Is MT. Cleveland like the pope of Rome-infallible? Can he do no wrong? Is he the democratic party? Must everyone be denounced as disloyal to the democratic party who happens to disagree with the president upon minor subjects? We have been taught that all officers were servants of the people and amenable to the people for their acts; but according to the doctrines of the Mo- bile Register and the Montgomery Adver- tiser we have been taught wrong. That to be a democrat we must indorse the president in everything he does, whether we consider it right or wrong, and if we fail to do so we must be kicked out Of the democratic party. If this is democ- racy we plead guilty to being an old fogY."

COL. T. B. NeSMITH.
A North Alabama Lawyer Who Can Make
 Fine Riddles.

A North Alabama Lawyer Who Can Make
 Fine Riddles.
 Tuskaloosa Times.
 Col. T. B. NeSmith of Vernon, who is in the city attending court, is an apt H. lustration of how a good lawyer can be a good musician and still not let his pro- fession suffer. Colonel NeSmith several years ago was solicitor of this judicial circuit, and he has a large number of Tuskaloosa friends. He has been for many years a prominent attorney and a successful one, but he has incidentally kept up his music. His instrument is the violin, or the fiddle, as the colonel and a good many other people still prefer to call 1t, and,~ while he has not made a study of music, he is a first-class per- former, and can give you tunes by the score that will fairly make your feet twinkle in spite of yourself.
 But besides being a performer, Colonel NeSmith has betaken himself to manu- featuring fiddles of very high degree of excellence. When he was a much younger man he made a few violins from direction which were everywhere regard ed as first-clasS, and of late, his health not permitting his active work in the law as of old, he has made several very fine instruments. He has four of these vio- lins with him on this visit, and the musi- ciahS who have examined them pro- nounce them most superior instruments. The tone produced is clear, pure, sweet, rich and resonant, and much more pleas ing than that which which we hear frona many so-called high-class violins.
 Colonel NeSmith makes his fiddles from an old and approved French pattern, which differs from the violin we general ly see in the shape of the body itself, which is not rounded or curved in the center, and also in the head where the strings are attached to the keys. He got out the wood for his fiddles himself, maple and pine being the kinds used. He fashioned them, planed and polished them, and finally stained them all him. self with only the simplest tools, and it is doubtless his careful treatment that makes the pretty tone they produce.
 It is probable that Colonel NeSmith will be willing to dispose of his fiddles some time and if so he will doubtless have no difficulty whatever in securing a ready and a profitable market.

 If down life's green pathway together Fate destined that we two should go, I'd pluck for your dear hands the blossoms The rarest and fairest that blow. I'd gather the blushing love-roses, All thornlesS, and give them to you: With a smile and a heart full of gladness I'd keep for myself all the rue. I'd pluck from the glad nodding roses The purest and the whitest that grew And twne them among the soft tresses That droop OCT those dear eyes of blue.

Peculiar Case of Fire.

A peculiar case of fire on shipboard was that which damaged the bark Annie, Staf- ford at Dioppe, France, recently, the facts in the case having been learned at the in- vestigation into the fire. It seems that the vessel carried as ballast about 50 tons Of flint stones. While lying light alongside the quay the vessel pitched and rolled, and this produced friction between the stones, which is said to have caused spark or sparks which ignited the ceiling. As the bark had previously carried cargoes of pe- trolcum the interior woodwork was nat r-..lly in fine condition for taking fra.

ATTRACTING HIS OWN WITNESS.

One of the Little Tricks of the Gold Stand
 ard Advocates Unmasked.
 Secretary Herberts reference to the amount of silver coined since 1878 and his assertion that the country up to 1860 never had within 50 per cent as much money per capita as now, are much like the arguments of Patterson and Carlisle. They first slur the "50 cent dollar" and declare that it owes it's purchasing power to the fact that the country Is OH on a gold basis, and that somewhere or somehow the credit of the government upholds the "50 cent dollar and makes it as valuable as the gold dollar.
 Now, MT. Editor, If the silver dollar does owe its par value to the govern ment's policy of parity, 1t must be for the reason that the government is ac- tually responsible for the redemption in real money-that Is, gold-of the 550,0OO.- 900 silver dollars coined. If this be true, then the silver dollars to which MT. Her- bert points arc each and every one of them an evidence of debt due their re- spective holders by the general govern ment. The coin certificates and green backs and gold certificates are likewise proofs of government indebtedness, and the secretary has no better ground for referring to them as money than pri- vate individual would have for calling his outstanding notes and obligations so much available capital for business pur- poses.
 If the contention of the gold bugs as to silver be true, then the only real money in the country Is the gold coin. The most liberal estimate will hardly place the total sum of gold at more than $600- COG, 900, while there are many who think $500. 100000 would amply cover the entire stock. But, accepting the former esti- mate as correct, we must take there- from the gold reserve of s100, 1000. .0000, the s120, 900, 900 stored away in the banks and perhaps $5000O hoarded away in small sums. This would leave but $430, ,00O, 900 of real money in actual circulation, or trifie less than $650 per capita.
 The gold standard advocates are con- stantly working this little trick. They point with flourish to the large per capita in circulation, tell us there is more money than ever before and that $550, 100000 of that money is in silver, and straight upon the heels of this in- sist that this silver isn't real primary money, but owes its value to the guar antee of the government. Ordinarily a man is not permitted to impeach his own witness, but neither law nor equity seems to exert any restraining or whole some influence upon the gold bug.-O. P. 0.

Practical Instruction.

In Australia the school children are all taught what to do if bitten by snake. This drill is rendered necessary by the fact that all the Australian snakes are venom ous, and they arc almost as common as in India. The reason why fatalities arc less is because the snakes arc comparatively small and are timid.
 In Germany the walls of the schoolrooms arc hung with maps of different species of pestiferous weeds. Thore are colored plates of weeds in all stages of growth and also the way in which the seeds are scattered and propagated. Brooklyn Eagle.

Gubernatorial Timber.

Our sound money brethren of the die-in-the- las st-ditch complexion seem to have entirely overlooked MT. H. H. Brown in casting about for candidate for governor, and yet MT. Brown has contributed a good deal of valuable lt- erature on this subject in modest way State Herald.
 Now, there Is timber for first-ciass governor, and a man who is willing to work for the salary harder than any con gressman who has been well fed and done less for the cause of sound money. Besides, he' is red-headed, and that seems to be a requisite expected in the candidate who shall be pitted against the conglomerates next year. It's good thing; push it along.'"

Will Move to Anniston.

The Jacksonville Republican, one of the oldest newspapers in Alabama, will be removed to Anniston. The publishers give the following reasons for making the change:
 "As is well known to all of our read CTS around Jacksonville, the Republican will in few weeks be published in An niston instead of Jacksonville.
 This change Is due solely to business reasons. It has been known for two weeks that the material was in the depot here for the publication of new paper in Jacksonville to advocate sound mon- ey.' Any business man who will think for a moment will realize that Jackson vile cannot support two newspapers. For the Republican to stay here would mean nothing less than bitter and un- pleasant newspaper fight and loss of money.
 The editors and publishers of the Re- publican are in the newspaper work as business. and are not disposed to give their time and labor without remunera- ton. After mature deiberation they de- cided that they could not publish the Re- publican in Jacksonville and make liv- ing. So they concluded to look out for a new field. and they believe that they have found in Anniston one of the best openings in Alabama for the publication of good weekly newspaper.
 "The patronage which we will receive from the business men of Anniston will enable us to increase the size of the Re- publican to seven-column, eight-page paper. We shall devote our entire time to the paper. and hope to make it the best weekly in Alabama.
 "The policy of the Republican will not be changed. It will continue to advocate such measures as its editors believe to be to the interest of the people,
