Republicans and POpuIists Urged to
Unite on a Fusion Ticket.
Atlanta, Ca. Feb. 27.-The Georgia Re
publican" a new campaign sheet launch
ed here to-day for the purpose of further
ing the interests of Mckinley for the pres
idential nomination of his party and TO
gather together the scattered forces of the
republican party for the state campaign
this fall proposes a fusion with the popu-
lists in the state campaign by making up
ucket.cOmpOsed of both republicans and
pOpuliStS.
According to the plan outlined by the
paper, republicans and populists are to
support this combination ticket instead of
each putting out candidates. They are
10 unite in an open fight against the dem
ocracy. The editorial declares that by this
means the democrats can be ousted from
office and the fuSiOnists capture the state
Two weeks ago c. l. Buck. the big boss
OF the Georgia republicans, issued mani
festo to his followers declaring in favor
of putting out a regular state ticket when
the convention meets. This was taken as
edict against anything which tended to-
wards a fusion with the pOpuhstS in state
affairs, as was practiced in the two state
campaigns just passed when the populists'
tickets We're led by Col. Peek and Judge
Hines, respectively.
The fact that the paper which makes
the proposition for the fusion this year
is issued as a campaign sheet, in the in
tereSt of Mckinley, makes il appear that
Col. Buck is interested in it, and that the
proposition contained in the editorial to-
day is practically a semi-ofiicial edict OF
the boss. Col Buck, however, declares
he has no interest in the paper and was
never consulted by the editors of the pa
per in regard to the scheme to get up a
fusion ticket.

Mr.. ]. c. Stevens sale of birds eggs
on April 81 included specimen of the
egg of the extinct bird known as the
great aux (alca impennis). This speci-
men, except for small fracture on one
side, is in good preservation. 1t was
purchased in 1S41 from Mr.. Hugh Reid
of Doncastcr, who bought it in the same
year from Frederick Schultz of Dres-
den, and has now been sold by order OF
the executors of the late Mr.. James
Hack luke Of Hitchin and was knock
ed down for 100 guineas. 1t may be in
teresting to point out that six or seven
years ago there were only siXty-eight
specimens Of the egg recorded. The
highest price of $500 was paid for a
duplicate for the collection Of Baron
d'Harmonville of Meurthe, France, two
years ago. Shortly after this event two
very good specimens were detected
among a collection of eggs purchased
at a sale in the country for 30 shillings
and were subsequently sold by Mr..
Stevens last year for 275 guineas and
1856 guineas respectively. A third spe-
cimen, Sir w. Miners, came into
the auction room during last sea-
son and fetched $50 guineas. A
few years ago number of eX-
ceedingly clever forgeries of the egg
were sold Immediately after the above
mentioned great auk's egg-a very fine
specimen, slightly cracked, but other
wise in first-rate conditioner an egg
of oe pyornis miximus realized 40
guineas and the only example Of an
egg of oe pyornis grandidieri ever Of
fered for sale in this country sold for

HARSH MANAGERS.
It Seems to I3e tho Custom to HumOr
Nagging Profane Bosses.

1t Seems to lie tho Custom to HumOr
Nagging Profane Bosses.
"The way some men are managed Is
queer sometimes" the manager of a
big concern remarked to an acquaint-
ancc who had dropped into the office,
according to the New York Herald. II
have never had any difficulty in man
aging men and getting the proper
amount Of work out of them, and /
think l have some executive ability,
but doubt whether 1 could manage a
gang of workmen on the river front
and think that If were workman l
would not be managed as l have seen
men managed. I happened to be near
one of the dry docks during the shift
ing of an old propeller from the dock
to the shore. 1t wasn't what any one
would call an expert job, but If you
had seen and heard the foreman OF the
gang Of workmen you would have
thought he was moving battleship.
The propeller had been removed from
the hull in the dock and a new one was
to be put in its place. Planks had
been placed over the space between
the dock and the shore and all that
the men had to do besides pulling was
to be careful that the propeller should
mt roll off into the water. They had
strong tackle and long rollers, and
after they had stretched and fastened
the tackle it was an easy job. The
fnrorpap diranfod auorv mnvamppt and
the way he bossed the men was amaz-
ing, but they didn't seem to mind 1t.
Swear? Well, you ought to have heard
him or perhaps you ought not to have
heard him. If anything slipped little
bit he swore and If something didn't
move just right he swore. He would
tell one man to do something and an
instant afterward he would undo 1t
himself, swearing all the while.
Finally, they moved the mass of iron
pull it up the incline. The foreman
acted as if he were in hot water all
the time, and it was a wonder that he
didn't fall overheard. Some Of the
men went ashore and hauled on the
tackle, and two of them attended to
the rollers. The thing was heavy and
1t had to be moved slowly. Pull there!
What tn ell you doing? Going to
sleep? Hold on! Now! Pull! Once
more! Hold on! What's the matter
with yer? Hold fast, say! Here, you,
shift that roller! Not that wayI
Gimme that! Now! Easy! Once more!
l have left out the cuss words, but
perhaps you have some notion of how
he went on. l watched the men to see
how they took that kind of treatment.
Not one of them said word during
the half-hour that l stood there. They
were not foreigners and they were not
stupid. In fact, l thought any one of
them was the equal of the foreman in
intelligence and knowledge of his trade.
They were inclined to be sullen, l
thought, but they did just what the
boss ordered, no matter how many
times he swore at them and nagged
them"

Tho Many Capable Ones.

A well-known writer and reader OF
books for a publishing firm lately VEN
tured on the statement that he thought
there were probably 1000 clever young
women in our country who were quite
able to turn out the ordinary and most
readable English novel of the period,
but, as to those books being "litera-
ture," that was a very different ques-
ton. A publisher recently told me
that he received so many offers of vol
umes of verse and novels from begin
ners-mostly young girls-that he
would require to keep special Sreader'
If they had all to be examined with
care. 1t was only possible to glance at
most of them. In the same connec-
ton may quote sentence which Ten
nyson once wrote: Il receive stanza
of verse sent to me for every five min
utes of my life. But very seldom a
volume of good wholesome prose-

THE MAGYAR RACn.
About to Celebrate the 1OOOth Anniversary
Of Its Existence.


Of Its Existence.
Prof Vambery began by stating that
there was scarcity of trustworthy his
torical evidence relative to the earliest
origin of the Hungarian nation, says
Vienna correspondent of the London
| Times. All that was known on the
subject had been derived from ByZan-
tine and an Arab writer. According to
them, the Magyars were tribe of
Turkish nomads, who, being driven
from their own territory by the en-
croachments of their more powerful
countrymen, wandered westward and
eventually reached Hungary by way OF
the lower Danube in response to an in
vitation of King Arnulph of Bavaria,
who needed their military assistance
against the Slav king of Moravia. For
nearly century the Magyars settled
in Hungary, continued their primitive
mode of life as warlike nomads, under
taking periodical raids to all parts OF
Europe and capturing numerous pris-
oners; these they employed in agricul-
tural pursuits, while the Magyars them
selves remained the dominant race.
Toward the close of the tenth century
the Magyars embraced Christianity,
and, blending in one political body the
various clinical elements which had
become resident in Hungary, constitute
ed the Hungarian nation. For centuries
the Magyar minority continued to rule
over the non-Magyar majority by sheer
force of their warlike and governing
characteristics. By the aid of their lib
eral institutions and the hospitality
which they extended to foreigners, they
succeeded in maintaining their SUI
premacy through all vicissitudes. From
these Asiatic nomads the present Hun
garian nation descended.
Prof. Vambery then went on to say
that Hungary had invariably formed an
insurmountable barrier against the bar
barism Of the east Had it not been
for the stubborn resistance offered by
the Christian armies of Hungary to the
inroads of Turkish hordes, the progress
and civilization of western and central
Europe would have been retarded fof
hundreds of years. Indeed it could be
said that Hungary had acted as the SEN
tinel of western civilization, but in con-
sequence of its being in perpetual readi-
ness for war the intellectual condition
of the country had remained behind.
During the past two centuries this had
been remedied, and in all respects the
progress and development of the nation
had been remarkable. At the begin
ming of the present century the Magyar
population of Hungary numbered only
about 100000. To-day it exceeded
100000. There is scarcely any trace
left of his Asiatic extraction in the
modern Magyar. He still retains, how
ever, those liberal, generous, and
chivalrous traits which assisted him in
conquering the various Magyar ele-
ments of the country, and which have
given him that extraordinary power
of absorption by means of which mere
handful of Asiatic wanderers have
gradually grown into powerful ma
ton which is about to celebrate the
1,00Oth anniversary of its existence.

Robert, who is young man Of II,
asks if he is too young to 90 in ladies'
society. Answer: A young man of II Is
not too young to go in ladies' society.
The acquaintance and society Of re-
fined young ladies would be the very
best safeguard for a young man at that
age. 1t would improve his manners
better than any book of etiquette that
he could study, since their merry, good
natured raillery at his defects would
help him early and easily to avoid
those things that would render him
awkward in company, and which he
might not ,f himself discover.
