LEFTWICH.

LEFTwIoH, March 22.-The busy day
is over and the quiet evening hours
have come. The mighty sun has sank
to rest, leaving the queen of night to
reign in his stead. No sound disturbs
the peaceful, sacred hours, and, as the
crush of night deepens, the stars one by
one appear and the silver moon, half
hidden by cloud, CLEANS pale and
still, and we think what a pleasant
time it is to write for the dear old HER
AID.
Last Sunday at 10 o'clock Esq. T. C.
Hardison said the solemn ceremony
which united in marital bonds Mr.. John
Whitehead and Miss Dora May Fox,
both of this place. The bride and
groom left Immediately after the cere-
mony and attended services at Antioch,
then repairing to the hospitable home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Whitehead,
where hearty welcome and pleasant
reception awaited them. The groom is
an industrious young farmer and has
won for helpmeet young lady who
possesses sweet disposition and those
domestic accomplishments so essential
to welded happiness. May their future
be as bright and pleasant as was their
wedding day.
Mrs. Eva Fox and little baby spent
last week with relatives in Lewisburg
Mr.. w. 4. Hardison, of Andrews
accompanied by his wife and little girls
spent several days last week visiting
relatives in our midst.
Mrs. DIR. Patterson, of Verona, has re-
turned home after spending several
weeks with relatives in our neighbOr'
hood.
The measles has almost subsidized in
our neighbOrhood. Those who have il
now are, Misses May and Ethel Morton
and Mr.. Walter Morton. We hope they
may all improve rapidly and soon be
up again.
The classic Duck was on a boom last
week. Saturday it only lacked about
six feet of being to the bridge floor al

Mr.. Vaughan, of your city, was in oul
neigh bofhood last week buying stock

SOMETHING TO KNOW.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system TO a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centres in the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys, and aids these organs in
throwing off impurities in the blood.
Electric Bitters improves the appetite,
aids digestion, and is pronounced by
those who have tried it as the very best
blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try it.

It seems that under the present ar
Fangement Delaware elects its COVER
nor on the day Of the presidential cleo
tion and he serves four years. A strong
movement Is on foot in the state to
change the date of the election so that
II shall occur between the national
contests, as used to be the case before
the death OF Governor Marvil caused
q special election, which was for full
term. The movement is well support
cd. but for all that 1t should be de-
feated. 1t is far better that all cleo
tons be held at the same time, both on
the score OF economy and for other
reasons. There is an incentive to cor
Ruption when state elections are so
held as to become straws to show
which way the political wind is
blowing, which does not exist under
ordinary circumstances.

which was the International Exposition
Of 1866, the first of the series of French
expositions.
1t really seems as il every ingenious
schemer the world over has been de-
voting himself to making suggestions
for striking features for the exposition.
There is the marvellous city in the air
to be sustained by gigantic balloon.
The city is to drop down to the ground
at convenient intervals and take aboard
such additions to its population as
may be inclined to thus rise in the
world, or to permit the debarkation of
persons who are tired of remaining
SO long within one city's limits. The
woman's building, which has practi-
cally been decided upon, is likely to be
in the form OF composite head, this
head being made in accordance with a
composite picture of the most beauti-
full women in the world. The head is
to possess many unique features, be-
sides containing all sorts OF comforts
from the rooms, where women may
gossip in easy chairs to the restaurant,
where they will gain at the same time
new ideas and excellent meals. One
Of the most unique ideas submitted was
that Of gigantic fountain to be placed
in the center Of great basin or lake.
Tremendous force is to be applied to
the jets, forcing them to a height of
200 feet. The papers have already de-
scribed at length the great globe, the
aerial railway, tlV gigantic telescopes
and other big features Of the exposi-
tion. Among the other propositions
presented, and there have been $50 Of
them, is palace for the accommoda-
ton of the public in general, a gorg-
eous affair, which, 1t is declared, shall
contain everything that heart could
wish and money can buy.
Then there will be an exhibition of
the works Of man from an early pc
Rod up to date. This will apply par-
ticularly to the more notable lnyen-
tions Of great artists, and will include
portraits, statuary, manuscripts, etc. A
two hundred ton clock is under con-
sideration. A wine vat that will hold
$4,000 gallons Is another suggestion.
Mines and geological exhibits without
number are among the plans submit
ted. Camille Flammarion, the famous
astronomer, wants tremendous moon
constructed, around which those who
desire shall circulate in a balloon. AS
for theaters, panoramas and other
amusements, there are suggestions
without number. OF course, 1t is pro-
posed to have the Passion play. An
other idea is to have a submarine thea
ter. Then comes the usual Alpine pam
Drama and another, which it is alleg-
ed will represent the mysteries Of the
ocean. The dolngs Of the recent expe-
dition Of the French to Madagascar
are what some one wishes to exploit
on canvas. And so It goes.
The entries have now closed, and the
members Of the exposition committee
must deliberate over what Is before

Loater,s Iden Of Don oulroto.


"Yes, senior, Don Quixote was fun,
ny chap. It's great book, though, and
known to the whole world, even to the
heather and to the English, and the
others. read it and found 1t droll
reading, but the best Of 1t did not
get. There is much In 1t for persons OF
learning. They all say who know that
the science Of the world is there, and
that when you understand it you can
get as rich as you want. But am ig-
norant, and was only amused. Don
Quixote was very ridiculous fellow,
surely! Think Of his taking those
wenches at the Venta for castle maid
ems! Jesu, what an ass he was! And
Sancho, you say! Well, he is like you
and me, he wants to eat and sleep ana
get along with everybody in nice way.
But then l don't know the book. There
is something in 1t / can't ge thold Of,
which makes priests and the like read

there is not another book like 1t, so full

them. While elghty-fOur suggestions
have been held to be worthy Of CON.
sideration, really not more than six
ty-one Of these projects are at all in
accordance with the general plan Of the
exposition. One OF the commissioners
has gone 30 far as to say that only
twenty-three Of them are at all appro-
pirate, but this question must be ses-
tied by the commissioners as q whole.
To fully appreciate the immense
amount Of labor required to place the
site OF the exposition in proper condl-
ton for the beginning Of the erection
OF the buildings, 1t must be understood
that the work which is now in progress
is simply the first step-the demolition
OF the buildings which now cover the
site. This is one OF the facts
which indicate the determination OF
France to excel the world. Never be-
fore has an immense section Of city's
heart been torn to pieces in an effort
to provide room for an attraction Of
sufficient magnitude to make this busy
world pause and wonder. While all
the details Of the architecture have not
yet been worked out, 1t is certain that
the Palace Of the Trocadero, which
was utilized both for the expeditions Of
1878 and 1889, will be used, as we'll as
several Of the great exposition halls OF
1889 in the Champs de Mars, although
there will be changes In all of them.
On the site Of the Palace Of Industry,
In which the exposition of 1866 was
Aeld, VIII rise splendid structure to
be used as the fine arts hall of the ex-
positione universale. Just west of this
location, and on the same side of the
Champs Elysees, the ground has been
broken for the hall OF liberal arts,
which is to be a permanent edifice. A
broad avenue will extend between these
two buildings, from the Champs Ely
sees to the Seine. At its meeting place
with the river the stream will be
spanned by stately bridge, which will
be known as the Alexander bridge, for
the present emperor laid the corner
stone Of the foundations thereof on his
recent visit to Paris. 1t is promised
that this bridge will not only be re-
markable for Its strength, but equally
notable for its architectural beauty.
This bridge, too, will connect the
Champs Elysees and the Esplanade des

he vetoes an act of congress and re-
turns 1t to the house, in which 1t

Of the house Of representatives. But
when he relralns from approving or

West African Ideas of tho Soul.

Miss Mary H. Kingsley, the WE'LL
known traveller, affirms that not a few
of the negro and Bantu tribes of West
Africa believe in the composite nature
Of the human soul; that they most of
them accept one soul which survives
death, and also some other subsidiary
souls which do not survive it; that
many Of the negro tribes suppose that
each man or woman has also a bush
soul" which is a ghost-like animal
with taste for ranging out freely in
the bush, and which may be trapped
and kept in a cage, to the great dis
comfort of the true proprietor; that,
again, not only low negroes, but Ban
tus, believe in dream soul, which
also flies abroad when the owner is
sleeping, and IL he is awakened too
suddenly may not be able to get back
home in time for his awakening.
whence again many evils result; and
further, that there Ia shadow soul,
which may be seriously injured If any
one treads on the shadow. Miss
Kingsley even relates that she saw q
woman who had hatred for GER
tain man stealthily creep behind him
to where his shadow was falling on the
earth, and hammer a great darn
Ing needle into the shadow of his head.
intending thereby to bring about his
death, The West African tribes think
the bush soul is the animal part Of
them, which, when it is relieved Of the
superintendent Of its human intelli-
gence, enjoys its freedom in the bush
like the animals to which they retain
SO close an affinity; that when they
dream there is some part of them that
can leave the body and play fantastic
tricks among their neighbors; and,
again, that there is life in the shadow
which accompanies every one during
the day time-which life is closely
linked to the life which survives the
body.
