Tit for Tat.

Senator David Hill and General
Matthews Brady were rival after din
ner speakers at a recent New York
function. Mr.. Hill spoke first and,
thinking to excite u bit Of merri-
ment at the expense Of the other, he
said:
'Twixt Brady and brandy
There's only one letter;
IL Brady were brandy
I'd like Brady better.
The laugh went round. in which
Brady tried hard to join, with only
moderate success-but all the time he
was thinking. When his turn came
to speak the result OF his thought re-
solved itself into this:
Between Hill and hell
There's only one letter;
Ii Hill was in hell
I'd like him better.

THE JERUSALEM CELEBRATION
Congress VIII BE Asked to Send Repre-.

Congress VIII BE Asked to Send Repre-.
sentatiyes.
Washington, Feb. 5.-A memorial
will be presented to congress before
the present session %ndjourns asking
that the government appoint Comm
%sioners to represent the United States
at the celebration which it is proposed
to hold at Jerusalem to commemorate
the closing of the century. 1t will be
presented by a committee representing
the Association for the Celebration of
the Closing of the Nineteenth Century
| With Fitting Exercises at Jerusalem,
an organization founded in Philadel-
phia two years ago. 1t is stated in tho
memorial that it is wise and proper to
have the various nations, governments
and provinces of the world invited to
appoint commissioners to meet at Jeru-
salem to close the nineteenth century
of the Christian era; aud, Furthermore,
that the president of the United States
be requested to appoint commissioners
to cooperate with those of the various
states and territories. There is a
lengthy preamble to the effect that the
time had come to bridge over the
chasm between reforlnel Judaism and
liberal Christianity, and that it is fit
and proper that the beginning of a new
century should take place in the land
where the father of the human family
revealed himself to Abraham and whore
he committed the laws to Moses. The
document bears the Endorsement Of
many we'll known men and women,
among the number being Colonel Jesse
Peyton, the father of c~entennials."

1t Would Dcuhtltss He BETTER Than II
Controlled by Turkey.
Bombay, Feb. 5.-As yet there is nj
confirmation OF the report that 49, 900
troops have been sent to reinforce the
present garrison of Tra%nscaucasin. So
large q movement of troops could
scarcely fail to escape notice. and u
more explicit statement will doubtless
be forthcoming within a few days. In
Tho meanwhile the prospect of Russian
intervention in the affairs of Turkish
Armenia will direct the attention to
the administration of the Transcau-
cnslan provinces that hav come under
the government of the car.
The lot of the Armenian under Rus
sian rule, although unquestionably
better than that of his compatriot in
Asiatic Turkey, is in many respects by
no means enviable. Russia is endeav-
oring by active and passive means to
assimilate her Armenian provinces tc
the rest OF the empire, and this process
involves an attack upon the st, ong ma
tionnl spirit that has been for . injuries
the most admirable and distinctive
trait in the character of this sorely
afflicted race. 1t is not surprising
to find that the Americans, who
assisted Russia in her Persian
and Turkish wars. have been alienated
by this attempt TO destroy their ma
tiona existence. They have gained, no
doubt, in material prosperity since
their incorporation in the empire, but
i'll return for The comparative security
OF life II property assured to them rs
Russian citizens they have been called
upon to surrender all independence of
capacity for rapid advancement along
the lines of modern progress, they are
compelled to suit their steps to the
hating pace of the empire at large,
with which they have few interests
and fewer sympathies in common.

Stewart, the Anderson man who has
the colonizing fever, left for the east
the last of the week to put his plans in
operation. He will go to Boston,
where he will do the greatest part of
his work. He proposes to get 1000
married men, procure money by dona-
tions, buy 3OO, 900 acres of land within
100 miles of Memphis, Tenn, and make
an ideal spot, something like the plan
OF heaven, where sorrows and conten-
tions will never prevail. He will give
each man fifty acres and he must sup
port himself and family. Unlike Gem
eral Coxey, when he put his great
scheme into action, he goes out with
out money, but does not anticipate
trouble in bringing about his plans.
He will rely on the hospitality of the
great American public and thinks
within a year he can get the 5000, 600
to buy his land. lie is % years old,
has lived in Anderson and Madison
