An Alabama View of 1t.

From the Eufaula Times.
Read Judge Bowers appointments
elsewhere in today's paper, fix the date
in your minds and come out to hear him.
We have never heard the Judge, but
learn that he is fine speaker, a close
reasoner, and thorough-going christian
observation-disclosures Leader.
We know nothing of Judge Bower S
capacity for speakIng. He does not look
like fine speaker. He may be, and
doubtless is, ''close Observer A fell
low would presume that a gentleman
adjoining the bench for some years
would be "close reasoner." And he
may be christian gentleman" He
has that appearance. But this is no
time Tor christian gentleman to run
for congress in the second, and the more
'thorough-gOing'' he is on this line the
less possible chance, it would appear to
us. he would have. What in the thun-
der does a man who gets wild on the
money question care for praise like this?
If Judge Bower is fine speaker, all
right. If he is close reasoner. all
right. But if he thinks, if his friends
think, that his character of being a
christian gentleman is likely to give him
any advantage over his opponents
this summer-well, we advise him to
come down, that's all. Besides, who
said we were in need of christian gen.
tleman in congress? Who said so? Let
him stand forth who holds any such
opinion, and let all the people mark him
we'll. If there are two men in the sec
ond Georgia district who demand a
christian gentleman let them get to-
gether and line up.

This Wolf Died of JOy.

M. de Candolle, the great natural
ist, celebrated as a lecturer on 1.-THE
National History of Geneva" tells
a remarkable story of a pet wolf
which seemed to have had greater
affection for it's mistress than most
children have for their parents. The
lady had owned the wolf from the
time when it was a cub so small
that it could be carried in the pock-
ct of an overcoat, and by the time
it was 8 years old it was more great
ly attached to her than a spaniel
would have been. Once she had &C.
oasion to leave home for several
weeks. From the first night the
wolf evinced the greatest distress,
and for nearly a week almost abso-
lutely refused to taste food of any
kind, and during the whole of the
time she was absent the creature re-
manned cross and detected. On her
return, as 500 as the animal heard
her footsteps, he bounded into thu
room in an ecstasy of delight.
Springing up, he placed one paw on
each of her shoulders. and then,
looking into her face as if to reas
sure himself that it was truly his
beloved mistress. he fell back and
instantly expired.

buxom female who paid him daily

orders not to admit her under any
circumstances. However, not a day
passed that she did not make an eff.
fort to gain a hearing, and on an un-
usually late visit happened to meet
the secretary just as he was about
to enter his carriage. "Mr. Lamar"
said she breathlessly, 81 must see
