ing a railroad spike between the ends OK
two rails. The entire train left the track,
went down a short embankment. and then
ran along the ground for 40 feet. When
il stopped it was found that the engine
had turned completely around. and that
the hot water and steam from the boiler
were pouring into the mail car, when
before the accident was hitched to the
tender. No expert railroad man has YET

The bourgeoisie and the people have
brought about revolutions, erected

in overturning four thrones within
a century, but, nevertheless, submit
without protest to the tyranny of
some hundreds of men who are ex-

their hands, without any RESPONSE

their fellow citizens. Any man
whose'life may be blameless, should
he be accused by the most degraded

is cut off from the rest of the world,
imprisoned in a dungeon, becomes

1t is through this inquisitor that
his friends are acquainted of the nc

According to Quantity.

There is a local capitalist whose
mother in-law, to the chagrin and
pain of her immediate family dnd
descendants, persists in taking on
flesh at an alarming rate. She has
tried Banting and dumbbells with
out any appreciate result and now
would almost attempt the bicycle if
the city council would vote her the
use of one entire street to learn in.
While such a thing as her avoirdu-
pois is never treated lightly in her
presence, when she is not around it
inevitably leads to more or less hu-
morous remarks. Her little grand
daughter frequently uses her weight
as term of comparison. The stone
sidewalk near the house is badly
cracked on one side of the street,
while on the other it is in an excel
lent state of preservation, which
state of things the little girl insists
is due to the fact that her grand
mother walks almost entirely ON the
injured side.
The other day the capitalists
wife, in accordance with an old fam
lily custom, decided to have her
mother portrait painted. She men
toned it to her husband, and with
out thinking twice about the matter
he told her to go ahead. Chicago

A Man Did 1t.

Every woman will be glad to
know that it was man who did it
"a man of wide experience in the
world in general and in methods of
travel in particular. He was a New
York man, and it was his first visit
to this western city. He had regis
tered, more by chance than any
thing else, at a certain hotel, taken
dinner there, and started out to take
his first view of the place. Almost
the first thing he did was to run
across an acquaintance, who, by
reason of his superior knowledge of
the place, felt called upon to give
some advice.
What hotel are you stopping at,
old man?' he asked. "The best ho-
tel here is the Metropolitan. That
is where I am stopping, and you had
better come up there
II WILL" said the traveller, and a
little later, returning to his hotel,
he gave up his room and started out
to find the Metropolitan. "Just
around the corner" said the first
man he asked. II will show you,"
and turning he guided the traveller
to the hotel he had just left, and the
latter, as he registered for second
time in that hotel that day, thought
things to himself of the man who
could go to hotel and not learn it's
name.-New York Times.

FIRST ROCK SALT MINE.


q Discovery Was the Result of Accident
Rather Than Design.
II really believe that many of the
greatest discoveries are the result of
!. pure accident, and this applies not
only to scientific facts, but also to
more material matters, :" remarked
General Dudley Avery. Accident
Wrought the great salt deposit on
Ayery's island to light after its
groupings had been worked for
nearly half century. My grand
father sold salt years before the
war and my father in his youth fol-
lowed the sameMethods of produc-
ihm, even after his fathers time,
but it remained for my brother
John, then boy of 16, to really
make manifest the remarkable adj
vantages which the island possessed
in the matter of rock salt mining.
It was during the war. Salt was
selling in New Orleans for 81 a
sack. This was at period when
the salt works of the island were
not being made use of. You see,
Bmy grandfather manufactured salt
lby digging wells, into which the
Realt water flowed in great quaint
Ties, and this water he boiled, evap-
orating the moisture and causing a
GTesidue of fine salt.
When my brother learned of the
price of salt in New Orleans,

was no objection. and with
pc assistance of several slaves John
0oeeded to open the old wells by
airing out the accumulation of
pris and boiling the brine, as his
andfather had done years before
YHe opened a number of new
wells and was soon selling salt at
great rate, but the demand increased,
and he decided to open big well
some 10 feet square. The work pro-
ceeded, but the usual depth was
reached with no result. The water

Old chisel, to cut out a piece of

rock. My father, however, who
ppened to be on the island at the
ne, knew what had been discov-
led, and in the course of little
while the wonder of the discovery
had been noised all over the country.
"Thus was discovered the first
rock salt deposit in the south, and
few months after that time dozen
shafts were being worked in a crude
way, and we were shipping salt to
Richmond in great quantities, at
least great for that period in the
worlds history. Work has pro-
crossed almost steadily since that
time, and we are shortly to begin

old workings, although this is not

An Indian Beauty From Georgia.


When Vivekananda, the Hindoo
monk, visited Chicago during the
Worlds fair, he was greatly de-
lighted one afternoon to learn that
the international beauty show
on the Midway plaisance contained
an East Indian princess. He lost
no time in visiting the show. In
one of the booths was a dusky dam
sci arrayed in East Indian costume
and prominently placaIded as a
charmer from the land of the Gan
ges.
Vivekananda addressed her polite
ly in Hindoostanee, and for his pains
was rewarded by stare of blank
establishment. Then he tried Cinga-
lese with no better success, and also
the several allied dialects of the in
terror provinces of India. At last
the dusky beauty spoke in sheer self
defense:
go way, man." she said. "You
mus be crazy!'
Excuse me-" remarked Viveka-
nanda, in faultless English, but
will you kindly inform me where
you were borng''
"I'ze born in Savannah, an TIE

The Monitor-register., 1897-11-26

1t is understood that Governor Griggs
will recommend in his annual message to
the Legislature some radical changes 10
the election laws. For the purpose of
outlining some definite plan as to the
changes believed to be needed, he has
named. commission to consider the
matter and present it in an inteligen t
manner to the Legislature. The COM
mission consists of Supreme Court JUS
tice Gilbert Collins, of Hudson; Judge
Robert Woodruff, of Mercer; Lawyer
Alan Strong, of Middlesex, and former
Speaker Cross, of Union. The commits.
sion has already had conference and
among the things considered was the
advisability of substituting the Austral-
ian blanket ballot for the present official
ballot. The members also propose to
recommend personal registration before
district boards of registration only and
the abolition Of the system of reg istrs-
tion by affidavit. The Sunset law was
discussed, and may be part of the
recommendation of the commission. The
present election law is weak in permit
ting the circulation of offieial ballots
outside of the election booths. We ought
10 have an absolutely secret ballot
