And everything was grand;

Big Words.

There used to be a clergyman in
the old town of Newbury, Mass,
somewhere back in the last century,
who was famous for his big words.
On one occasion he was invited TO
preach at Harvard College. In
those days they used TO have two
sermons a day. The students lis
tened to him in the morning, took in
all the hard words and quotations,
andput their heads together. In the
afternoon they appeared in the
chapel, each with the largest die
tionary he could command, and
when the preacher used the first
word out of the common course
there was such n rustling of leaves
that the reverend gentleman looked
up in alarm. He was bright as well
as crudite, however, and seeing the
point translated his words as he
went along.

A Plain Statement.

The editor of the Lewistown Ga

in the following plain and forcible
manner
There are few farmers who would
enjoy having their crops distributed
among fourteen or fifteen persons in
amounts averaging from one to two
dollars each, and be compelled to
wait year or more forpayment, and
run the risk of never receiving some.
With wheat at seventy-fve cents q

tribute from twelve or fifteen hund-
red bushels in such manner, without
security, evenif there were prospects
of receiving one dollar or one dollar
and n half a bushel and run the risk

The Atlanta Exposition.

L ut AOlduOd LA ApOoiViOh'
OF all the great exhibitions that
have been held in this country, that
which opened Sept. 18th at Atlanta
is by no means the least important.
The Cotton States and International
Exposition carries something of its
significance in its title. For the
first time the Cotton States assert
not only their own importance in
the industrial and commercial life
of the country and of the world, but
their lively interest in modern ad-
vanccmcnt, and invite all nations TO
come and see what they are doing
for themselves and to bring the best
examples of their own achievements
for mutual instruction and advan-
tagc. In its general features this
exhibition probably will not differ
greatly from Others that have pre-
cccdcd it in its special features it
will be distinctivcly American and
will particularly set forth that mar
vclous development of the New
South than which nothing in our
recent history has been more re-
markable.
The s. o.a',e.a Safes were SO
completely prostrated by the civil
war and the misrule and robbery of
the reconstruction period, that it
was quite impossible for them to
take any conspicuous part in the
Centennial exhibition, or even to do
themselves full justice later at
Chicago; but they were eager learn
crs on both occasions, and how well
they profitcd by what they learned
will now be shown at Atlanta. In
all history there is scarcely such an
example, not merely of rapid re-
covery, but the building up of new
industries, new methods ofbusiness,
new institutions of every kind, and
this at time when the social and
political problems to be met have
been of the most perpleXing char
actcr.
Thus the New South has much
To show that must interest us all.
She has also much to learn, and
thi, exhibition, with it, compre-
hensive representations of the art
and inventions of the world, will
open welcome opportunities to the
southern people and give them hclpl
and encouragement in their new
life, The formal opening was made
when the President, though far
away in Massachusetts, touched the
electric button and set themachinery
in motion-an example of the
scientific achievements of this cleo
tric age and a symbol of the nation
al character Of the exhibition. The
Southern people have made every
thing ready and opened wide their
lospitablc doors it rests mainly
Sith the people of the North to I'M
prove this opportunity to unite
more closely the relations Of the.
once separated sections and make
the Cotton States and International
Exposition rebound to the prosper
ity and glory of the whole United
States.

A WOMAN SOLD BY PIRATES.
Cant. Ralfords wife Had Terrible Ex-
perience IF the Cost of China.


From the Philadelphia Times
Capt. G. Erickson of New York was in
this city yesterday He has just complet-
ed his fourth tour of the globe, having
left Shielfs, England, for Hong Kong,
thence to Sydney, Australia, aud home
via Cape Horn to New York. While on
the steamer Carmelita, bound from
Annoy to Hong Kong, Capt. Erickson
was chased by pirates, but succeeded
in getting clear by dint of hard steaming
The English bark Eliza, Capt. Ralford
from London, which followed soon after,
was not so fortunate. She was becalmed,
Capt. Erickson said yesterday, and was
boarded by about 200 pirates, headed by
Mexican named Alzarez. The crew of
the Eliza, after a stubborn resistance,
were disarmed and confined in the chain
locker, with the exception of the captain,
carpenter and an apprentice lad. Alzarez
shot the captain three times, first in the
head but the bullet glanced round the
skull. then in the arm and side. The car
penter and apprentice took refuge in the
foretop. The pirates left the captain for
dead, looted the cabin, and after making
hole in the bottom of the vessel, de-
parted, taking Mrs. Ralford with them.
Meanwhile the carpenter and boy came
down the rigging and releasing the rest
of the crew managed to get boat out
before the ship sunk.
The captain was only stunned, and was
taken into the boat. After experiencing
some suffering for want of food and wa
ter, they were picked up by the steamer
Venitzia and taken to Hong Kong. AS
soon as Capt Ralford recovered from his
wounds he disguised himself as China
man, and as he spoke the language flu
emily, this was not difficult. His object
was to find his wife For three weeks he
travelled about, and at last found that she
had been sold as a slave by the Mexican
to a rich mandarin. With the aid of two
English detectives he bought her back for
5000. Alzarez was aftelward arrested by
the British at Hong Kong and tried and
condemned as pirate. Out of considera-
ton for the fact that he had been an of
ficer in an army he was shot instead of
being hanged. Mrs. Ralford was SO en-
FILTERED against Alzarez that she shot
him three times while on his way to the
place of execution and thus saved the
marines some powder and ball. Alzarez
is believed to have led the attack on the
British steamship Victoria about three
years ago.

Raise Mules.
From the Eufaula Times.

From the Eufaula Times.
A recent item in the New York World
emphasizes what we have Hong thought
the duty of our southern farmers and
stock men, to raise mules for the farms.
The New York Herald's item is headed,
1.-The Passing of the Horse" and goes on
to show how trotting horses have de-
clined in prices and how the horse is
being superseded by cable cars, electric
lty, bicycles, horseless carriages, etc.
But nothing will ever take the place of
mule on the southern farm. Low priced
cotton is driving our people to raise
their corn and meat and to some. extent
they are raising cattle and horses and a
few mules. Let them raise their own
mules and thousands and hundreds of
thousands of dollars will be kept in the
south that now go out annually to pay
for shipped mules. Every farmer can
with little. very little, expense raise one
mule or m ore year.

Contempt of Court.
From the San Francisco Post.

From the San Francisco Post.
The law is a funny thing. A reporter,
anxious to investigate an insane asylum
near Los Angeles, had himself arrested
and tried for insanity. Strangely enough
the doctors found him insane and the
Judge committed him to the asylum;
then the reporter was identified and the
court held him for contempt. Nothing
is said of the judges action toward the
doctors who found the reporter insane,
but we presume they were locked up
for insanity.

From the London Free Press.
1t will come as a surprise to many of
our readers that caterpi)lars ar response
ole for an affection of the eyes which
may entail prolonged suffering and even
result in serious damage to vision, That
such is the case has been aOundantly
proven by number of instances on
record in which more or less intractable
inflammation, of the eyes has been found
to be associated with the presence Of
hairs which, after removal, have been
identified as belonging to the genus cat
erpillar At the last meeting of the
OphthalmolOgical Society a case was
related in which lad was hit in the eye
with a caterpillar thrown at him by a
playful schoOlfellow. He picked up the
insect to examine it, and the hand
which seized it became red and develop
ed papules and other indications of local
irritation. A day or two later the eye
became the seat of what proved to be a
very troublesome inflammation associated
with the presence of rounded elevations
due to an accumulation of cells around
the embedded hairs, which were suisse
quently discovered and removed. The
presence of these papules has led to the
somewhat unsatisfactory, because nom
