KING DAVID AS a GENERAL.

A French Scientist Comments on His
Tactics Against the PhiIistines.
at Il late meeting Of the Academic
des Inscriptions ct Belles-Lettres. NJ.
Dieulafoy, the we1l-llnovn explorer In
Persia, read a very interesting account
of his visit to the scene of the decisive
encounter between King David and the
Philistines in the valley of Rephaim.
NJ. Dieulafoy described how, after the
capture OF Jerusalem by David and the
establishment of the Israelite mon
archy, the Philistines resolved to
crush the nascent kingdom, and how,
after alterations of success and failure,
they occupied the valley Of Rephairn,
situated at the foot of the slopes
which led from the west to Jerusalem.
II was then, according to NJ. Dieulafoy,
that David, constantly attacked by
his enemies, executed one of the
finest military m~anouvers recorded
in his history. II. Dieulafov, while
indicating the various advances made
by military art, andhaving shown
that befors tLs wars of the Modes
nc nation had any acquaintance
with the rules of higher tactics
md strategy, dweit upon the fact that
David was the first of the Israelite lead
ers to form drilled and disciplined
troops. and pointed out what good use
the king made of this army in the
valley OF Rephaim.
The plan of the battle, very clearly
described IN the Bible, which ascribed
the conception of it to Jehovah, COM
pr;sed q flank march, a rapid change Of
front, the rapid encompassing of the
left wing of the Philistines, and an at
tack from behind on this wing. This
was a complicated and bold turning
movement, very difficult to execute,
and something quite out of the common
for the age In which it was carried out.
NJ. Diculafoy, who had discovered the
theater of operations and had made use
Of the general topography of the region
in order to reconstitute the principal
phases of the battle, pointed out that
this movement presented a striking
analogy with those executed by
Frederick II. at the battles of Mollwitz
and E~ossbach, and by Napoleon at
Austerlitz. IA the conduct of this
operation David gave evidence of the
highest capacities, taking advantage of
all the inequalities of the ground, form
ing his troops afresh in the wood, and
charging i~mpetuously, and NJ. Dieulafoy
insisted very strongly upon the SINH
larity of his military genius to that Of
Napoleon.

THE SEASON OPENED.
King Cotton has Made It's Appearance
and Business in Active,

and Business in Active,
The first day of the first of the
Fall months has arrived and
with it has come. the activity in
business circles Tor which our
business men have been longing
for several days. The intermis-
sion between the seasons ocS
cupies very near all of the month
of August, and, perhaps, it is well
that it is so, for a good while IS
required to put everything in
readiness for the heavy trade
that follows as regularly as the
seasons follow each other. 1t is
true for the past fifteen days
the heavy ''breaks" of to-
bacco atour warehouses has gwen
some impetus to business, but
this has not been the case in
years heretofore and our people
were really not prepared for aud
not expecting much from this
source. The sudden activity in
trade circles that resulted from
the sale of the golden leaf" was
an agreeable surprise. 1t has caus
ed the season TO commence some
days earlier, and as a conse~
quence the wheels Of progress
were already III motion when the
beautiful sunlight of this the 1st
day of September burst forth
from over the Eastern horizon
this morning, leaping from viii.
lage to village. from town TO town
and from city to city, chasing
away The chaos, and gloom and
business dependency that had
hung over this section for several
weeks past The golden leaf"
has no doubt contributed its
share and has been a very potent
factor in starting up this BUSH
ness activity, but the "feecy
staple" has for years been the
money crop Of this section and
with its appearance on the
market, money has become more
plentiful and trade centres
have been shaken from centre 10
circumference with the general
impetus that it imparts to all
lines of industries.
To-day as the sun is fast leav>
ing its summer paths and falling
into familiar lines that it has run
through the melancholy days of
autumn from the time when ''God
said let the be light" aud as the
shadows from the court house
and the giant oaks in the square
are gradually growing longer
and fall more obliquely to
the North; while the Amos
phere is hard and the
skies look smoky while there are
long, black lines Of smoke curl
ing from the furnaces aud the
shrek of the whistle of the cot
ton cir is constantly heard; to-
day, it is repea ed, there are
lines of country carts strewn up
and down Walnut street, heavily
laden with the''feecy staple and
the banker and the merchant and
the laborer r all busy.
All nail the arrival of Fall.
Great is king Cotton"

Lake Superior is in danger of losing
its distinction of being the largest
fresh water lake in the world. African
explorers begin to think Victoria Ny
ANA is larger. Superior covers thirty
one thousand two hundred square
miles and Victoria has been credit
ed with about thirty thousand,
but recent explorations have dis
covered a hitherto unknown bay on
its southern side, which SO increases
its known area as to make it a question
whether it is not larger than Su perior
Fuller explorations and more careful
surveys must be made, however, before
a decision is reached.

from the bed and sprang upon his

The Infatuated father fastened his
teeth in the boy's'face and tore out
large pieces of flesh. He then
threw the boy to the floor and bit
his body in a frightful manner,
Leaving the mangled boy, the
rabid man dashed out of the house
