A visitor who recently called to see
General Longstreet at his farm near
Gainesville, Ga, says: 81 looked for a
large, old fashioned southern place,
with pillars and a wide hall. Instead
the house was an ordinary story and a
half farmhouse, such as a northern car
penter might build. A board nailed to
q tree offered wine for sale at very
low price, and saw an extensive vine
yard across the road. A lean, farmerlike
person told me that General Longstreet
was in his vineyard, and there l came
upon him, scissors in hand, busily prun-
ing his vines. He is a big old man,
stopping a little now and slow of gait.
He wears long white whiskers, cut away
from his chin. His hair is white as wool,
but his skin is ruddy, as though SLEEP
and good digestion were still his to com
mand We talked for time about his
garden and vineyard. I get out every
afternoon, he said, and work about.

Sorry Accident to Stylish Young Won
an In Train.

Sorry Accident to q Stylish Young Wom-
an In Train.
The passengers on an early morning
train connecting with this city were
treated to a thoroughly enjoyable scene
the other morning. At one of the small
stations young lady boarded the train.
She was dressed rather stylishly, but
a veil covered rather plain face. She
switched down the aisle like a queen.
She barely deigned to glance at the
other passengers in the car, and when
she did her nose rose perceptibly at the
tip in manner that spread the impress
sion of contempt.
She carried a Boston bag and the air
of millionaire. There was but one seat
vacant. This was beside good looking,
nicely dressed young man who was read
ing paper.
When she came to this seat, she flop
ped down heavily and tossed her bag tc
the seat between herself and the young
man. Two seconds later the young man
leaped from his seat, and a string OF
earnest words of doubtful origin fell
from his lips like vipers from the lips OF
the young woman in the fable.
The startled passengers looked to see
what had caused this outburst They
saw, and then they laughed. The nice
looking Boston bag contained an ordi.
nary, everyday working girls lunch.
One of its features was jar of coffee,
which had broken in the descent and
flowed freely over the young man s new
fall coat and trousers.
He went into the smoking car, swear
ing profusely. She murmured weak
apology and spent her time in moppine
up the seat. -Brockton Enterprise.

Custonns In Hungary.

At the beginning of the century the
magnats, or higher aristocracy of Hun
gary, lived i'll a semiregal luxury.
Their official court dress. which is quite
oriental in its richness and spIendor,
alone recalls the feudal period of the
Hungarian aristocracy. Their country
chateaux are lordly in nothing but
their hospitality If a stranger drives
up in his carriage to the entrance door
of Hungarian chateau, Immediately
and before any questions are asked con-
corning the visitors business, even be-
fore the master of the house has made
his appearance, a legion of servants
rush forward and carry the visitor 8
baggage to one of the half dozen rooms
always ready to receive guests, invited
or otherwise. Twelve o'clock is the
usual time for dinner, and four or five
empty seats are always prepared for
guests who might arrive. When the
Hungarians wish to honor more partic-
ularly guest, IA succession of Is or 20
courses are served at dinner, but as the
Magyars have i'll everything the ut
most respect for individual liberty, no
guest is ever pressed to eat or drink.
After dinner guests and hosts take a
| long drive over the estates of the cha
teau or pay visit to the neighboring
castle. If it is a Sunday, visit is
made to the nearest village, where a
peasant country dance is in full swing.
Supper at the chateau takes place be-
tween and s, after which IA dance is
given or a whist party is INDUCED in.
The next morning everything is silent
in the house until 10 O'Clock. Much
as in England and Scotland, break
fast is taken when one pleases, at nc
fixed hour During the whole morning
the noble owner Of the mansion is ex-
tremely busy. The upper Hungarian
aristocraey still manage the business
details of their estates themselves, and,
as may be imagined, this is no small
work, since many of these domains are
larger than some petty German states.
Such is the everyday life of Hunga
rian nobleman. In winter he generally
goes with his family to spend few
months in Budapest. San Francisco

OUT OF THE FIRE.
One Horse That Was Not Panic Stricken
When His Master Went to Rescue Him.

One Horse That Was Not Panic Stricken
When His Master Went to Rescue Him.
The common belief that horses in
burning building are always panic
stricken and refractory, not recognizing
kheir friends and refusing obedience to
those who would rescue them, is not
strictly true, as is proved by an incident
related by Companion contributor.
The governor had fine black driving
horse called Dexter. Although strong
and spirited Dexter was doGile and obe-
dent and was petted and made much
of by his master. AS the governor kept
no other horse, Dexter had the stable
all to himself, with clean stall and
full manager.
The stable was near the house, and IN
addition to Dexter's stall and harness
room contained large carriage room,
an oat bin and haymow over the stall.
One night, when the family and the
servants were away from home and the
governor was in the house alone, he
was awakened by an ominous cracking
and bright glare on his chamber VIM
dow, and before he could collect MS
sleepy wits he was startled by CRY I'M
like any sound he had ever heard. AS he
sprang out of bed the cry came again,
and Fastening to the window he learned
the cause The stable was all ablaze,
and out of the smoke and flames Dexter
was calling his master to his rescue.
Pausing only to don coat and slippers,
the governor rushed out. The outside
door of the stable leading into the stall
was already blocked by the flames, and
the only entrance to be had was through
the carriage room, the harness room and
O narrow entry leading past the cat bin.
These rooms were on fire overhead, ano
burning wisps of hay and shingles were
raining down in showers.
Blinded by smoke, the governor STUN
bled along the roundabout way and,
reaching the stall sooner than he expect
ed, fell headlong down the steps agains
the excited animal, who was yalnly
Juggling at his halter. Thinking SOM
new danger threatened him, Dexte
gave mighty kick that sent his maste
sprawling and famed him for month
"Whoa, Dexterv' shouted the govern

Recognizing his masters voice, Dex

man and uttered coaxing whinny quit

Senator Converse, as secretary of the
state commission appointed by the gen.
eral assembly of 1897 to inquire into the
income and expenditures of the state, is
having difficulty in obtaining the informa-
ton desired from Clerk Anketell of the
superior court and other clerks of New

Anketell is receiving legally more than
$4,000 per annum, more than double the
salary received by the governor. Ex-
Gov. T. NJ. Waller, who is a member of
the same commission, says "that the re-
fusal of these clerks to tell the truth
would do them no good and might do
them harm, and any attempt OF effort on
the part of clerks to conceal the fact only
increases the appetite of the public for
the knowledge it seeks" The commits
