heels, and after the crowd came Bo-

coroner's jury rendered the only verdict
which was possible under the circum-
stances, and then Sam was escorted
back to New Rochester by procession

to the appearance Of Bayne, the liquor
dealer, in the church, but when he re-
minded the faithful that he had been
the only person in the town who had
been practically kind to Sam the objec-
tors were silenced. As for the Presby-
terian pastor who preached the funeral
sermon, he was go moved by Sans con-

so much time in calling attention to

BIRDS At SEA.

Sir Edwin Arnald, in an account of
his voyage to America, says: Every
day we see playing round the ship
and skimming up and down the
ave-hollows companies of lovely lit
tie terms and sea swallows, the latter
no larger than thrushes. These fear
less people of the waste have not by
any means followed US from the land,
living, as seaguls often will, on the
waste thrown from the vessel. They
are vague and casual roamers of the
ocean, who, spying the great steam
ship from afar, have sailed close up to
see if we are a rock or an island, and
will then skim away again on their
own free and boundless business.
Yonder tiny bird with purple and
green plumage, his little breast and
neck laced with silver, is distant 1000
miles at this moment from drop of
fresh water, and yet cares no more for
that fact than did the Irish squire who
"lived - miles from a lemon" If
his wings ever grow weary, it is but to
settle on the bosom of a great billow,
and suffer it for a time to rock and
roll him amid the Kissing spindrift, the
milky, flying foam, and the broken
sealace, which forms and CLEANS and
disappears again upon the dark slopes.
When he pleases, stroke of the small
red foot and beat of the wonderful
wing launch him off from the jagged
edge of his billow, and he fits past us
at 100 knots an hour, laughing steam
and canvas to scorn, and steering for
some nameless crag in Labrador or
Fundy, or bound, it may be, home
ward for some island or marsh of the
far-away Irish coast. Marvelously
expressive of power as is our untiring
engine, which all day and all night
throbs and pants and pulses in noisy
rythm under the deck, what clumsy,
imperfect affair it is compared to the
dainty plumes and delicate muscles
which will carry that pretty, fearless
sea-swallow back to his roost!

CUBAN HISTORY In BRIEF.-Spain
colonized the island in 1911.
In 1884 and again in 1854 Havana
was destroyed by the French.
Matanzas was the first city to fall
into the hands of the insurgents.
Cruelty and Injustice to the natives
have always been the creed of the
Spaniards.
The present revolution began Feb
ruary "a, 1895, when the republic was
proclaimed by Marti.
In 1S4S President Polk offered Spain
a million dollars for the island, which
offer was refused.
The constitution of Cuba, modelled
on that of the United States, was
adopted September %, 1895.
The revolution of 1868 lasted 10
years before Spain succeeded in COM
promising by promising reforms.
A triangular blue union having
single star and five stripes, three Of
red and two of white, is the flag of
the republic.
The first serious revolution took
place in 1S4S, und the leadership of
Narcisso Lopez, who in 1851 repeated
his attempts to free the island from
Spanish control.

MATELEss PIGEoNs.-"Pigeons are
homogeneous" said raiser of those
birds for market, to New York Sun
writer, sand the female lays but two
eggs. One of these is always the egg
from which male is hatched, and the
other encloses the future female. If
by any accident cock pigeon becomes
widowed, the sympathies of the entire
cote 90 out TO the afflicted brother or
sister. Ifit should so happen that a
cock should lose his mate and hen
hers, so that they are both mateless at
the same time, the afflicted pair soon
forget their griefs in new life part
nersbip, and all is serene.
"But if there is widower in the
cote, and no convenient widow for him
to take to mate, or if there is a widow
for whom no widower pigeon on hand,
something must be done to fill the
vacancy. Upon the first hen pigeon
to nest after the vacancy occurs falls
the. important duty. If she hasn't
hatched her eggs yet, she promptly
dumps one of the two out of the nest.
She never makes a mistake in evicting
the right one. If a widow is to be
provided for, the hen throws out the
egg containing her future daughter.
If a widower is pining for mate, she
disposes of the son egg. If she has
hatched her egg when demand Is
made for her sacrifice, she ceases feed
ing the youngster who will be super
fuous, and starves 1t to death. Pig
cons grow fast, and squabhood over,
the lone proeuct of that nest becomes
mate to the bereaved member of the
hock."

TILLMAN Is WORKING.
He Will Make Speeches In Many Different
States.

He Will Make Speeches In Many Different
Greenville News, Tuesday.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 9.-Sena.
tor Tillman spoke in Pensacola, Fla,
yesterday and will speak in Gaines.
Vile, Fla, Saturday. On wednesday
next he is booked to speak in Atlanta.
l understand that he is preparing to
make sensational effort in Atlanta.
He will attack ex-Speaker Crisp as
being too soft and conservative in his
Democracy and as being weak in his
advocacy of silver. What will be the
outcome of the speech is not known.
Senator Tillman is playing an al
most lone hand for the Democratic
presidential nomination, and bis every
movement here is watched with inter-
est and is commented on by the news
papers. 1t is felt that he will be a
factor in the coming campaign; but
where or how is not known. So far as
his chances at Chicago are concerned
the silver leaders here believe they
will be slim. They admit that he is
attracting great attention, but they do
not think he will be seriously consid-
cred if the silver men are in control.
They believe he will get scattering
votes from various States, but think
that if any Southern man is the nomi-
nee it will be Bland or Morgan. On
the other hand if the gold men control
at Chicago and Tillman bolts it is be.
lieved on all sides here that he will
have a walk-over for the Populist and
silver nomination. A Populist con-
gresham told me the other day that
Tillman is stronger than any man in
the Populist rank and can easily get
the nomination despite what he has
said about the Pops. Tillman has
great faith that millions of farmers
will vote for him if he is presidential
nominee. He thinks he las the same
power with the agricultural classes at
large as in South Carolina.
1t is said that Senator Tillman in
tends to spend the best part of the
summer in speech making. If he is a
presidential nominee he will speak in
half the States of the Union.
There is a good deal of talk about
Teller and Tillman as the independent
silver ticket, but it is not believed the
South Carolina man would take Sec
ond place. His bead and heart are
fixed on first place or nothing.

PRACTICAL EDUcATIoN.-Mr. John
Jacob Astor, tbougd he is the posessors
of many millions, is a practical me-
chanic. If he did not have a dollar he
could earn living in machine shop.
His father, though he was the wealth
lest man in the United States, did not
believe that his children should be
brought up to habits of idleness. 1t
has often been said that the Astors are
the best representative rich family in
the country. The men are now, as
they have been for generations, ear
nest, practical and industrious. They
are not content to sit down and take
life easy they are busy and ambitious.
They are cultivated gentlemen.
!. It is related that when John Jacob
Astor was coming to the Atlanta expo
sition on the special train with Gov
ernor Morton the locomotive broke
down. Mr.. Astor inspected the Grip
pied engine and saw at once what was
the matter. He called for few sim
pie tools and in a few moments repair
ed the damage. - sse' !,
Some of the wealthiest citizens of
Atlanta were workingmen in their
youth, and are proud of the skill they
then acquired. Some of the sons of
our richest families have of their own
choice gained practical education.
tits great thing to know how to
do something useful. The education
of the hand is noble worn. There has
been great reform in our methods of
education during the past few years.
They have become more practical, and
the result will be beneficial to the
Atlanta Journal.
