THE LITTLE BLONDE IN BLUE.

She trips through brae and bower
AS light as fawn;
Her face is like flower
That glimmers in the dawn.
Her peerless form and features
Have witched the world anew.
Her coming brings
A hint of wings,
The little blonde in blue.
So winsomely she dances
IT'S joy to view her glide;
Like jewels are the glances
She casts on every side.
AS Will O. the Wisp at even,
So CLEANS her satin shoe
With twinklings fair
o hearti beware
The little blonde in blue. 4
She hath a cunning dimple p
Upon her Saucy chin,
And wise as well as simple
Have lost their hearts within.
Alack for all who see It'll
Their rapture turns to rue.
So shut your eye
When she goes by,
The little blonde in blue.
If famous Journeys olden
Had known her tricksy wiles
How many a knight had rolled In
The dust to gain her smiles;
What trouveres meath her easement
With lutes had come to sue,
In rondeaux gay
And virelais,
The little blonde in blue.
Sly fairies float around her
To work the gallants harm,
And lovingly they've crowned her
With more than mortal charm.
/ clink my chains with rapture,
Although my hopes are few;
IT'S bliss to see
Her winsonve glee-
The little blonde in blue.

What Moses said.

A master of hounds in England, now
no more, used to relate with great glee
how a small girl, the tiny daughter of
an M. F. H., was receiving her first les
sons in Scripture from her grandmoth>
er, whose text book was a pic
torial Bible. The passage of the Red
sea was the subject of this particular
lesson, and the ancient woodcut showed
the Red sea banked up on each side.
"And here" said the grandmother, us
Moses, directing the 1sraelites to make
the passage. What do you think that
he is saying to them to exhort them
to courage?" The little maiden looked
up artfully, and, remembering the Ian
guage of her fathers buntsman when
the hounds came to brook, promptly
replied; "Yooi over, lads; yooi over. -

Lee in the Mexican War.

The deeds of valor by which Robert
E. Lee revealed himself to the world
were also performed in an unobtrusive
way. That was in Mexico, too. Lee
was then a captain in the engineer
corps, where there is little chance for
the display of personal heroism, but
when sent out to reconnoitre the enc.
my's position he stopped at no risk if
he saw a chance to learn more than be
was called upon to do by his orders.
At Buena Vista Capt. Lee volun.
teered to go into the enemy's terri
tory and verify a report about the po-
sition of Santa Ana army. A cav.
airy escort sent to protect him failed
to be at the rendezvous, and his native
Mexican guide showed himself SO
cowardly and incompetent that he
cast him adrift and made the trip of
forty miles alone. He brought to the
American camp news about Santa
Ana, which gave Taylor's army its
brilliant victory at Buena Vista.
Another feat that has been rehear-
sed a thousand times around American
camp fires was the perilous passage
across volcanic rockbeds of Pedrigal,
neal the City Of Mexico, to carry vital
dispatches between the divided wings
of Scots army. The rocks were
pointed so sharp as to cut the shoes,
the night was dark and stormy, and
Santa Ana's pickets lined the way on
either side. After seven aids had
given it up, Lee set out alone and sue
eeedcd. Scott declared that it was
"the greatest feat of physical and
moral courage performed by any indi-
vidual during the campaign. Buffalo

Always point with the finger, cane,

offensive.
Always occupy more space than is
necessary in waiting-rooms, railway

Drum with the fingers and feet,
whistle, hold conversation with your
friends in reading.rooms, concerts,
etc., where those wishing to hear would
be prevented from doing SO.
Always expectorate when in view of
others, as upon the sidewalks, in
street cars, boat cabin, etc.
Never restore a dropped article to a
lady-allow her to reach FORT herself.
Never raise your hat in greeting or
as o parting salutation to q lady.
Always enter a place of amusement
after the performance has begun, and
leave before its finish with as much
noise as possible.
Always rustic programme, fan or
garments so as to disturb those near
you.
Never apologize to those who are
obliged to permit you to pass.
Always eat in the places of amuse-
ment, SO as to annoy those seated near
you.
Be sure, if you are sound and
healthy, to seat yourself while a lady
or aged man stands.
Don't fail to stare a pretty girl out
of co%untenance at every opportunity.
Make it apractice to read your neigh,
boris paper over his shoulder when on
the cars.
OF course you will so on a bit Of a

in ill-manners and insolence-just
present him or her this code and ask
if it is correct.

The cotton is creating a great ensa-
tion, and planters and mill men are
coming from miles around to view the
wonderful field Of cotton that has the
appearance of a bit of jungle trans
planted from some tropical cline to
its present location among the red
hills of Georgia. It is probable that
the Lowell mills in New England will
purchase the entire crop and give it a
thorough test in the manufacture Of
the finer grades of goods, for which it
seems prominently adapted.
Farmer Jackson planted with the
expectation of gathering eighteen
bales, and his n%eighbors laughed at
him. It now looks as if he were good
for twenty-four bales, and if the pres
emit crop at harvest time fulflls half
the promise Of the growing plants and
turns out half what it's admirers hope
for, this legacy Of the wandering Jew
will revolutionize cotton growing in the
South.
Adolpb Kyle left here with the ex-
pressed intention Of visiting Bafin's
Bay and Alaska. He has not been
heard Of for more than a year, al
though during his stay here he made
the acquaintance Of many infuen-
tial citizens, to whom he promised to
write.
Farmer jackson is not saying much
about his future intentions, but he
enjoys a rush of distinguished visi-
tors, cotton growers, expert cotton
buyers and mill men from all over the
country during these summer days,
and more than one exhaustive maya
zine article is in the course Of prepa-
ration, with elaborate illustrations,
discussing the peculiarities Of the won
derful cotton plant from the Congo
jungles.
Seine idea of this prolific cotton, as
compared with the old sort, may be
had from the fact that ten bolls to the
stalk is regarded as a fair crop of the
old cotton On the Georgia uplands,
and these will yield LOO pounds Of
seed cotton to the acre, generally two
and a half to three acres being requir-
ed to produce a 5O0-pound bale. The
new cotton, on the other hand, promi-
ses to yield from three to four bales to
the acre with careful cultivation, and q
a verysimple calculation will show the
difference between planting 22,0O0,-
900 acres to get a $1,000, OO0-bale crop
and the planting Of 100000 to Sc
cure the same result. One Of the
stalks grown in 1895 was fourteen and
a half feet high, and bore 185 hollis.
Speculation is wild in regard So the
possibilities of the new cotton, and
Jackson's little patch of ground is the
most fascinating spot in Georgia these
summer days.

adopted by Elias Boudinot, a wealthy
philanthropist, and took his name.
While he lived he stood high as a
learned and eloquent advocate, and
was the agent and ambassador Of the
tribe in all matters connected with the
United States government. But now
these tribes do not have to send their
children so far away to get an educa-
ton. What our government does is
always we'll done, and handsome
school houses are found all over the
territories. In 1877 the policy of
educating them was organized and
5000 900 appropriated. In 1850 it was
increased to SIS, 900. In 1855 $685.
900, and in 1890 to 81, 1864, 568. I
reckon it is two or three millions by
this time. And, besides this large
amount, the different religious socie-
ties of the United States give largely
to the cause, the Roman Catholic
Church giving near half a million an
nually and having charge Of more
schools than all the other denoPina-
tions put together. Then, again, just
think of the land they have got-l60
acres to each head of a family, 80
acres to each child eighteen years old
and 30 to those younger. just think
of all the old and decrepid ones being
supported by the government and all
the young ones educated free. Why,
it would seem that with all this fra
ternalism and private b~enefactions a
child is fortunate to be born an In
