y man recently died in Nir-
glnla who made a novel bequest
to the town i'll which he lived.
That he was patriot, who be
lleves the Fourth of July should
be observed for the principles
which it instills, is evident from
a clause in his will. The Orange
OtsvIcr states the case. 1t SAYS:
The estate Of the late Hon.
Lewis Mckenzie is valued at
$4,000. In his will which has
been admitted to probate III the
clerks S Office Of the corporation
courtof Alexandria, he bequeaths
$500 to the city. with the request
that the Mayor and city council
invest the money and use the
interest therefrom by employing
a drummer and hfer to go through
the streets on the Fourth of July,
early in the morning, that indie
pendence Day may always be re-
membered by an observance that
invariably marked it in that town
in his boyhood days.

The Chicago Ch,ou1eLr has this
story about ex-senator Ingalls,, of
Kansas: "At an early day in
Kansas John J. Ingalls, sat in his
office at Topeka reading his pa
per very intently. A newsboy
ran up and was just opening his
mouth to cry, Here's your morn
ing paper! when his eyes rested
on a skeleton hung up in the
end of the hallway. He no
sooner saw it than he fell over
backward and rolled down stairs.
The Senator rushed to the door
and in the kindest words told
the newsboy to come back as
he wanted a paper. The news
boy, bracing up, looked at the
Senator sharply and exclaimed,
oh, no you don't; 1 saw YOU be-
fore you got your clothes on"

Both The Sheriff And Prisoner
Killed,

At Callahan, eighteen miles
northwest of Jacksonville, Fla,
a deadly duel was fought early
Monday morning between Depu-
ty Sheriff Higginbotham, of
Nassau county, and a negro out
law. The negro some time ago
shot three men, and Higginbo~
than had a warrant for his ar
rest. The officer found the ne
gro in the house of negro wo-
man and ordered him to surren-
der. The negro refused and
then both began firing, e,nptying
their pistols. When the smoke
cleared away both were found on
the floor dying. Every bullet
had taken effect.

A Standing Cavalry Oroer.

An old cavalryman says that a
horse will never step OH a man
Intentionally. It is a standing
order in the English cavalry
that, should man become dis
mounted, he must lie down and
keep perfectly still. If he does
SO the entire troop will pass over
him without his being injured.
A horse notices where he is eo-
ing, and is on the lookout for a
firm foundation to put his feet
on. 1t IS all instinct with him.
therefore, to step over a pros
trate man. The injuries caused
to human beings by a runaway
horse are nearly always inflicted
by the animal knocking them
down, and not by his stepping
on them. m.-Bostou Herald

Only Bicycle Missionery.

Andrew Spence is perhaps the
only bicycle missionary in the
world. His wheel i; rugged with
various paraphernalia, and
weighs seventy pounds. He has
rugged it with a sail and gets
considerable aid from the wind
when it happens to be blowing
just right. The ten command
ments are printed on the sail for
the benefit of sinners, and the
masts and yard arms are used for
the display Of religious charts
when the bicycle mission
ary is haranguing a
crowd. These charts according
to Spence, show when time shall
end, and what shall be the signs
portending the annihilation of
the unrlghteous and the redemp-
ton and reward Of the holy. He
is a Canadian, 63 years of aye,
but since 1884 he has made Cal,
ltornla his home. He has al
ready covered about 500 miles on
his wheel, but is disappointed in
the work of his sail which fright
ems all the horses he meets, and,
owing to the cl,angefu1 course of
the wind, often retards rather
than aids his progress.

A MOB OF 2OOLYNCHERS.
THEY ATTEMPT TO BREAK DOWN
THE DOORS OF AIAII,.

At o'clock Tuesday morning
last a mob Of 200 men rode into
Live Oak, Fla, and attempted to
storm the Jail, their object being
to lynch George Mitchell and
Mike Stevens, two negro 1nur
derers. Sheriff Hawkins lives at
the Jail with his family and the
mob made a demand on him for
the keys. The Sheriff refused
and the mob began to batter
down the door with sledge hams
nerS.
The sheriff pleaded with the
mob to desist in vain. Finally
he said: Boys, my wife is sick
up stairs and | am afraid this ex-
cltenent will kill her. Go away
for her sake. l will GO to Ta1la-
hassee and beg Gov. Mitchell to
let these negroes hang
The appeal was effective aud
the mop dispersed shouting,
1--WE won't endanger a lady's
life"
Mike Stevens and George
Mitchell, the negroes wanted, and
Henry Brown were convicted and
sentenced to hang for the murder
OF Alfred Ryberg, a white man.
Brown was hanged last week,
but at the last moment the other
two men were respited. This
caused great indignation and
lynching has been threatened
since, as people believe Mitchell
and Stevens as guilty as Brown,
although the latter swore on the
scaffold that he alone murdered
Ryberg. There is no doubt that
lhe men will be lynched unless
the Governor permits them to be
hanged.

An interesting exhibit TO be
sent to the Atlanta Exposition
by the women OF Cobb county,
Georgia, is the celebrated "bat-
tle>scarred cabin" from the bat>
tlefcld of the kcuneSaW Noun
tain. 1t is a plain log cabin
about twenty feet square, and
was situated just behind the Con-
fcderate breastWorks. 1t offered
a good mark for some Of Sher-
mans batteries, and was bored
in every part with shells and
Deppcrcd with bullets, but did
not take fire. There are over
thirty clean holes through its
walls, made by Federal shells,
and many hundreds of bullets
are buried III the logs. The
cabin IS to be taken down and re
built i'll the Exposition grounds.

tanned corn wlliskey and notified

left to notify the owners. In a |
little while he returned and took
the barrels away. A day or two
later a large number of negroes
were found III a very hilarious
condition. It was discovered
that the negro had taken the
two barrels and hidden them in
A sink hole. There some huck-
leberry pickers had found them.
They told the good news and SO
MANY of their friends assembled
