Douglas Jerrold and the Deserta

In his earlier years of manhood
Douglas Jerrold served his country as
a midshipman. In this capacity he
was one day left in charge of the ship
as she lay off Gibraltar, his superiors
being engaged for the time on shore.
What happened Is best told as he used
to tell it himself. Some of the sailors
begged to get ashore, and he let them,
on the promise that they would bring
him back some oranges. One Of them
disappeared, and the midshipman suf-
fered consequently for it. More than
twenty years afterwards Jerrold was
looking in at window in the Strand,
when he seemed to know the face Of
a weather-beaten man, who was doing
the same thing. Suddenly he remem-
bered, and put his hand on the others
shoulder. My man, he said, you have
been -long time. with those oranges

AUDIBILITY OF THUNDER.
Conditions Limit Distance at Which I,
May BE Heard.

Conditions Limit Distance at Which It
May Be Heard.
In connection with the proposal to
establish number of government sta
tons for reporting the phenomena of
thunderstorms it is stated that while
lightning may be seen and it's illumi-
nation OF clouds and mlsts may be rec
ognized when it is even 200 miles dis
tant, thunder is rarely audible ten
miles. The thunder from very dis
tant storms, therefore, seldom reaches
the ear. Hence, If every thunderstorm
has to be recorded large number of
stations will be needed probably one
for every Is. square miles would not
be too many. A few stations would
suffice, at least for the reporting of the
direction and movement of every case
of distant lightning. The reason Of the
great uncertainty in the audibility OF
thunder is not hard to understand. It
depends not merely on the initial in
tensity OF the crash, but quite as much
on the surroundings of the observer,
even as in the quiet country one will
observe feeble sounds that escape the
ear in a noisy city. Perhaps the most
curious and important condition of
audibility Is that the thunder wave OF
sound shall not be refracted or reflect
ed by the layers of warm and cold air
between the observer and the light
ming or by the layers of wind, swift
above and slow below, so as to entirely
pass over or around the observer.
Sound, in its wave-like progress OBJ
liquely through layers of air Of differ
ent densities, is subject to refraction.
and this refraction may occur at any
time and place. Thus, observers at the
topmast Of snip frequently hear fog
whistles that are inaudible at sea level;
those on hilltops hear thunder that
cannot be heard in the valley; those in
front of an obstacle hear sounds in
audible to those behind it. The rolling
Of thunder, like that Of distant can
nonade, may be largely due to special
reflections atd refractions of sound.
Again, the greater velocity OF the air
at considerable attitudes above the
ground distorts the sound wave and
shortens the limit Of audibility to the
! lesward, while increasing It to the
windward. Pittsburx Dispatch.

THE VEXED PROBLEM.

.Afro-Americans Confront the Self-Satis-
fed SOutherner-SOme Interesting Adj
dresses From Rival Stand Points Char
acterize the Meeting

William r. Morris.a Minneapolis COL
ored lawyer of note. greatly interested
the Minnesota Congregational club last
evening, at it's fall meeting, at Plym-
outh Congregational church. The at
tendance from Ramsey and Hennepin
counties was large.
Mr.. Morris discussed the Social
Future Of the South" and made quite
an impression. He pointed out the
fact that, in spite of the closest posi-
BILE contact and the most intimate re-
latiOns, some races never adopt the
customs and habits of others, clinging
with an inexplicable tenacity to their
own. The negro's introduction to civil
lization and Characterization was most
unfaVorable. as well as unfortunate;
the natural manliness Of spirit and no
bility of character were crushed out
OF him, In order to make room for an
artificial, Inundated and debased
manhood. Through the blacklist and
basest slavery he came in contact with
Christianity and culture. For 200 years
he toiled and another reaped. He had
no property rights, no title to the prod
uct Of his own labor-no title even to
when he had nothing, and nobody to
provide for. The form of a man, the
curtailed rights Of a lower animal, tor
the lower animal enjoyed tights de-
MED to him.
A change came without preparation,
without fitness, without qualification
and suddenly he was restored to free
dom, property rights and social privi-
leges. with but small capacity to enjoy
any one Of them. It is no wonder that
he started on the wrong track, and ex-
pected to gain at single bound Gull
ture, wealth, social standing, business
tact. leisure, and everything else that
goes to make life enjoyable. He can
not be rightly blamed for losing his
way, in the joy and ecstasy of new
found freedom.
Mr.. Morris declared that no race
ever rose to distinction without the
aid Of leaders from it's own people,

Obituary.

The death of Mrs. Ellen Pujol, which
occurred at Lewisburg, ON Friday, the
25th inst. removes from our midst an
old and beloved resident.
Mrs. Pujol, nee Ellen Lurim, was
born in County West Meath, Ireland,
IS years ago, and with her husband,
Mr.. Connaughton. settled In Lewisburg,
in the early flfties. The little village
was but sparsely built at that time. but
there remains now many dwellings
which were built by her husband.
After the death Of Mr.. Connaughton,
which happened In 1853, she married
Mr.. J. G. Pujol, whom she survived
about ten years.
Mrs. Pujol leaves two sons and q
number of grandchildren to mourn her
loss, one of her sons being prosper

Egyptian Cotton.

Circular No. Is Of the u 5.
Department of Agriculture gives
an interesting report upon the ex-
ports of cotton from Egypt, from
which it is shown that the whole
crop Of Egypt for the whole year
Of 1895 reached 52l,OOO,OOO Of
pounds, or the equivalent Of l,OO0,-
900 of our bales. That the export
price per pound was about nine
cents, and that over half Of the
cotton was shipped to England.
These figures indicate to us the
considerable part now taken by
Egypt in cotton production.
Twenty years ago the exports of
cotton from Egypt were compara-
lively Insignificant, but since that
time there has been constant in
crease. The exports to America,
which were but $500, 900 pounds
in 1891, rose to "a, 200, 900 pounds
in 1895. 1t is this large produce
ton of cotton in Egypt, and the
importation of such a considerable
percentage of it into the United
States that has led to the recent
adoption of an import duty on cot
ton III the seventh amendment to
the tariff bill.

The Kreuz Zeitung, paper pub
lished in Berlin, Germany, warns
Germans against the invitations of
emigrant agents to settle in the
Southern States of America, and
calls upon the government to issue
a strict prohibitive decree against
such emigration, ''since German
farmers are too good to compete
with black labor in the cotton and
rice fields
The above shows how little the
Kreuz Zeitung knows about the
situation here. The fact is that
the German immigrants are not
here very long before they have
homesteads of their own, and be-
come thriving and prosperous citi-
zens, and are much more indepen-
dent, happy and contented here
than they could ever hope to be III

Sir John must be a back number

the rest and the note, when the
theft was Immediately discovered.
On his next trip he stole some
eggs, after first hiding the note un-

'sThe airship sighted in the
West" says the st. Louis Repub-
lie, is a "fake." The aerial monster
was manufactured originally IN
New York of papier mache and
ordinary balloon material to adver-
tise certain brand of cigarettes.
When it was set free ut Denver
some wine merchants and other
gentlemen infringed the patent and
made papier mache airships for
their own use. That is why the
airship has been seen at SO many
places at one and the same time.
There is more than one of them in
the sky, and the cigarette balloon
is not the only light in the heavens
by any means. The whole thing
is a clever advertising dodge, in

Louis Gallot, the Union National
Bank wrecker, was found guilty.
HydrOphObia and Muz-
Zling.

Eight years ago law was passed
in England rendering muzzllng obli-
gatory for all dogs, with the result
that cases Of hydrophohia, which
in 1889 numbered PSI, fell to 80 in
1892.
But in England, as in France,
dogs have friends, and above all
old friends, endowed with indefati-
gable hui unretlecting zeal.
In 1892, then, the law was modi-
fed and the muzzle was replaced
by collar whereon was inscribed
the name of the owner Of the dog.
The result Of this modification
was not expected, and from 80 in
1892 cases Of hydrophobia mounted
to 80 in 1893, to 248 in 1894, and
to 672 in 1895!
Thus statistics prove beyond a
doubt that hYdrophobia is, above
all other ills. the most av0idable,
and that we are only exposed to il
according to the measure in which
we protect ourselves against it.

for sixty years of progress and ac-
emulation, moral, material and
POLITICAL and then he points out
that neither the capitalist, the
manufacturer, the working man,
thechurch nor the department Of JUS

the military and the aristocracy,
a poor display, thinks Mark, to
represent the work and result of
