prize; now, isn't it?''
Wentworth, who knew more OF the city
aud It's ways than his partner did, at once
recognized the truth of Longworth's theo-
rics on the subject

he said, land 1 think that all we need now

The agreement was completed Oh this ba-

Kenyon wondered why their new partner
had so suddenly changed his mind. Offlces
were taken near the bank, and much time
aud money We're spent III fulinS them up.
Both Kenyon and Wentworth chated at the
delay, but their partner pointed out that
nothing was 10 be gained by undue haste
ANY attempt TO rush things would have
bad effect in the city. Capital was tiinorous'
and nothing must be done prematurely.
AIllu all, Kenyon and Wentworth received
many excellent business maXins from their
partner, and ii is to be hoped they proil,eu

William Longworth had an eye for beauty.
One eye was generally covered with
round disk of glass, except when it fell out
OF It's place aud dangled In front or his
waistcoat. Whether the mouoclc assisted
his sight or not, II Is certain that WIllam
knew pretty girl when lie saw her. One
of the housemaids in the Longworth house
hold left suddenly, without just cause or
provocatiou, as the advert iscmcnts say,
aud in her place was engaged girl SO
prcttythat when William Longwcrth caught
sight of her, his mOnocle dropped from its
place and he stared at her with his two
natural eyes, una ssisted by optical science.
He tried To speak TO her on one or Two oc-
casions when he met her alone, but he could
get no answer from the girl, who was very
shy and demure, and knew her place, as
they say. All this only enhanced her beauty
In Young Longworih's estimation, and he
thought highly OF his cousins taste In the
choosing al this young person To dust the
furniture.
William had a room in the house which
was partly sitting room and partly office,
and where he kept many of his papers. He
was supposed TO study matters OF business
deeply in this room, and il gave him q good
excuse for arriving late at the office in the
morning. He had been sitting up into the
small hours, he would tell his uncle, al

people permitted, for every family
counted it an honor to have the preach.
er stay with them, and as he was usu-
ally the bearer of news from one neigh.
borhood to another, he was always a
welcome guest.
His circuit was planned, partly by
himself, partly by his ecclesiastical
superiors, who laid out the general
ground and expected him to add to
the number of appointments or preach
ing places as the membership increased
and the work broadened. Two preach
ers, senior and n Junior, We're usually
assigned to each circuit and the ap-
pointments for the two were arranged
in such n way that the people of each
station had preaching every other week,
at least, or sometimes every week. The
labors of these sclf-sacriflcing men
were by no means, however, confined to
Sunday. They preached every day,
sometimes twice a day, reaching one
station at 0 or 10 in the morning, hold
ing service, dining with some brother
who lived near by, in the afternoon,
riding on to another station, where an
evening service was to be held, and re-
pcating this round week after week,
month after month, during the year
until conference" came, when the ap-
pointments were changed and the
preachers went TO new fields. Twenty
or thirty sermons every four weeks
were the usual work, together with 200
or 800 miles of the hardest kind of trav-
ell OF roads there were few, the trav-
eler being compelled to rely on bride
paths through the forest, and often on
mere tracks aided by "blazes' on the
trees, or pieces of bark chopped out,
leaving a white place underneath,
which could be seen at q considerable
distance and materially aided the pro-
gress of the wayfarer. When dark
ness overlook the preacher on his jour
ney, and he could no longer discern the
"blazes" on the tres, he trusted to the
instinct of his horse, and when this fail
ed, as 1t sometimes, though rarely, did,
he was compelled to pass the night in
the woods. If he had flint and steel he
made fire; if not, he sat down at the
root of tree and held his horse until
morning. In rainy weather he was
often compelled to swim the swollen
streams that lay in his route, or make
long detours i'll search of place where
the stream could be forded. Yet all
these hardships, and more, including
sleeping in lofts where the snow drift
ed in, in rooms where four beds were
placed and the family all slept in the
only room the cabin afforded, and the
annoyance of having absolutely no pri-
vacy but that of the forest during his
journey from one appointment to an
other, were cheerfully endured, and for
no compensation save the conscious.
ness of duty well done, and the pittance
that the people were able to give in re.
turn for the services rendered them.
Money in those times were scarce and
many an old preacher has been heard
to tell how in the early days of his min.
istry he received but $25 or $50 from

Mirror and Light on n CuttIefish.

The phosphorescent organs of rare
cuttletish from deep water have been
investigated by Joubin. 1t comprises
what the author calls a mirror and an
apparatus for producing light. He
supposes that this organ does no
function, and that it is like machine
at rest; but il a living creature adapt
ed for food wanders near the cuttle-
fish, this prey, being of highr tenn
perature than the water in which it
floats, emits heat rays, which impingc
on the rejecting mirror and are then
concentrated in the light producing
organ, causing there a sensation, the
organs acting by reflex action. The
water around it is then lighted up by
rays perceived by the eye of the cut
tie. In word, these organs are those
of caloric sense. He has also found
in another cuttlefsh an extremely
curious organ constructed in such q
manner that it does not perceive light
rays, but is solely adapted to receive
heat rays, which confirms his hypoth-
esis as to the nature of the organs in
the other cutie. New York Inde-

A Cold Light.

The recent Investigations of Pro.
fessor Ebert form an interesting se-
quel to the researches of Tesla on the
production of electric light with the
minimum amount of heat. The goal,
OF course, is to get the light with no
heat at all, except that which natural
ly belongs to the luminous rays; that
Is, to get rid of the obscure or dark
heat altogether. Only about five per
cent. of the energy expended in an in
canhescent lamp is tuned into light.
the remaining ninety-five going into
waste heat Professor Elbert has now
not only deduced the laws according
to which apparatus should be made to
produce cold light by means of alter
mating currents of high frequency, but
he has succeeded in obtaining light
OF about thirteenth of candle
power, with about one-thousandth of
the energy required IN one of the
standard candle power lamps. This,
of course, is II very small light, but
Professor Ebert is confident that
lights of practical brightness may be
obtained according to his method

The Tide Turning South.

Georgia ought to get thousands of
settlers from Ohio aud Pennsylvania, :"
says "Sam" B. Webb, who has Just
returned from trip to those States
in the interest of the Central Railroad.
"The people in those States are dis
contented and are moving away. They
do not want to settle in Kansas or Ar
kansas or Texas, where SO many of
their friends used to go. If Georgia
only had some literature descriptive
of her resources, it would attract
thousands of good, honest, hardwork-
ing people of the agricultural and me-
chanical classes. The tide of emigra-
tion is now setting toward Tennessee,
which State issued, probably a year
ago, one of the most complete books
on its resources that any State has
ever got out. That book catches a
possible immigrant as soon as he ex-
amines it. Ii our State will Just let
the world know what we have in the
way of climate, soil, minerals, woods,
water power and that sort of thing
our uncultivated and low-priced lands
will soon be in demand and the tax
able property of tho State will in
crease in value hundred million dol
lars in a few years. Atlanta Consti-

THE CIRCUIT RIDER.
lTINERANT PREACHERS OF PIO-

Parson and People.

Among the many peculiar characters
developed in the early days of our ma
tional history not the least singular
was the travelling preacher, who min

settlers In the backwoods. He was
natural product of the times in which
he lived and Of the country in which
his lot was cast. He was In the most
emphatic sense of the word one of the
people himself, for, in all probability,
he had been born and reared in the i'm
mediate neighborhood of his Circuit"
nine-tenths of his auditors knew him
from his boyhood, and his father and
the rest of his family, and We're pre-
pared to give his pedigree back to the
tiine when the family made its appear
