The DreyfuS Case.

The real author of the letter attributed to Captain Alfred Dreyfus first confessed and then committed suicide. This letter secured the conviction of Captain Dreyfus, although he might have been convicted without it, for at the time of his trial there was a widespread conspiracy to hunt Jewish ofti- cers out of the French army. Captain Drey fus is Jew. He has always said that his
 The general staff of the army, and the government itself, is left by the recent dis closures in an embarrassing situation Captain Dreyfus, very able officer, was convicted of the crime of selling military secrets to the Germans. Germany denied the charge, and the Henry confessions show the charge was without foundation. But Captain Dreyfus is serving g. life sentence in a lonely island in the Caribbean sea near the coast of French Guiana. new trial, or. as the French say, revision of the case becomes imperative. The legislature is not, however in session; President Faure is en- toying a vacation; but it is scarcely con- cevable that a great nation of advanced civilization and humanity will let Captain Dreyfus remain in prison under a sentence that the revelations of Lieutenant- Colonel Henry show is unjust. Zola, too. needs a new trial, for he simply set up an opinion that Dreyfus was convicted to cover up the guilt of others. His conviction needs ''re- vision" also. The truth is, French public sentiment and the French general staff need revision at about the same time.

 Tn miners of Pana are very much in earnest, and their earnestness will be dis played against the negroes, and the latter will have a hard time of it. Keep away from Illinois Let the white miners and white mine operators settle their troubles as best they can. Don't meddle with their controversy. The operators will not be able to protect the negroes from this district or from anywhere else, and they will dis charge them without notice when a settle ment is reached.

Glad News from Jacksonville.

The First and Second are to be muster ed out This is official news, and it is also good news. Our soldiers are coming home. But instead of being ordered to Mobile, where none of them were recruited, they should be ordered to this city, where half of them live, and near which all were re- cruited.
 The change is not a great one, but 1t would be a favor nevertheless to this coun- ty and city, and to all North Alabama; and if Governor Johnston and Representa- tives Underwood and Bankhead wish to make this section very happy, they will induce the war department to send the First to Birmingham for the purpose of being mustered out. It would please the gallant First. and it would please the peo- ple from whom they were recruited.
 Birmingham desires to give the soldiers of tho First royal welcome, and this can- not well be done if they are mustered out in Mobile.

It Is Very Easy to Acquire the Knack of
 the Art Useful.

"The decoration of wood by the applica- tion of heated irons is an art of long standing" says Florence Fetherston in the Ladies' Homo Journal, land many in teresting examples of old work are occa- sionally to be found For a tri1ing sum a complete apparatus may be bought, which includes a platinum point that is kept heat ed while the work Is in progress, not by electricity, as many suppose, but by fumes of benzine, which is supplied by pressure on rubber bellows, which is connected by tubing to a bottle half-flled with benzine. When beginning the work, the point should not be heated in any flame but that of a alcohol lamp. Any other flame would be liable to smoke and ruin the point. In burning outlines remember that to make a broad, firm line it is not necessary to press. The lines are to be scorched not incised. The point is held and guided, much in the same manner as a drawing pencil. but some little practice is needed to enable the worker to pass it smoothly and readily over the wood, the tendency of all begin ners being to allow it to rest and make dots. No Encouragement, however, must be felt at this, as with little practice the manipulation will become easy, and the worker will be able to make dark or light strokes at will. Bold outlines and strongly burned backgrounds come out well on or- dinary white wooden articles, such as ta- bles, stools. chairs, bowls, plates, racks, etc."
