THERE is world of truth in the fol- lowing homely illustration by the Champion: "If you take cat by him self and pinch his tail, he will scratch and bite your hand but take two cats and put them side by side and pinch both tbeir tails at the same time, they will scratch and bite each other. Plu- tocracy has learned this trick, so t gets the people arruyed in two parties and pinches their tails, and then they fight each other. Like cats, they never turn to fight the hand that pinchss them"

He promised more of the same sort in Fl Fronterizo, or in English, The Frontier, for itis equally divided in it's make up-English and Spanish. As g campaigner the paper may be power, but beyond this it is questionable if it will be paying in- vestment. English speaking people will not be wholly satisfied, and just so on the other side.

snecial to The Age-Herald.

Special to The Age-Herald. Cullman, Feb 1.-Circuit court will be in
 session the entire week. The case of Peck
 & Bro. vs. J. H. Karter, is on trial. Sew
 eral of the damage suits of P. H. Kinney
 and others vs. the town of Cullman, for
 damages, on account of the explosion here
 in March, 1884, have been dismissed at the
 cost of the plaintiff.
 The case of P. H. Kinney vs Koopman
 & Gerdes, for damages, on account of the
 same explosion, was decided in favor of
 the defendants last Saturday. This case
 has been on trial three times and the jury in eacfi instance was unanimous in favor of the defendants. When the case was
 tried this time, the jury was out only five
 minutes when they agreed upon yer
 dict. It is more than probable that this will put end to the litigation, as well
 in this case as in the others depending on the same explosion. The same attorneys represented the plaintiffs in most of the other cases as in this one. This case was tried first, probably on the theory that it
 was by far the strongest from the plain tiff point of view.

 A New York correspondent says:
 "A minister of one of the fashionable uptown churches has some curious plans for the Lenten workers among his flock He wishes first of all to organize band of women who shall visit the poor, but ab- stain from preaching and sympathizing. Too much condolence destroys the back bone of the masses, he thinks. Secondly, he wishes a company of pretty women who will do district and hospital visiting dressed in their best. No apologetic, dow dy gowns, no frumpish jackets or meek black bonnets will be permitted to depress and patronize the hapless occupants or tenements or the wards of hospitals The eyes of the poor are to be gladdened pS the sight of some of the prettiness or the world wher6 things are dainty ana ihNu- rious, and their pride is to be perked up a bit by the fact that wealthy persons think them of sufficient importance to dress uR for them. tt'..,i.-afs

plication before Judge Bradford in the

the Arlangton Mills. The complainants
are woodward Baldwin Company, Bal
timore, and other certain stockholders
Of the Arlington Mills Manufacturing
Company The grounds on which the
receiver Is asked for are two-fold. First,
that the mills have been idle for more
than year; that the property is going
to waste while the plant was idle and
that It's dormant condition was grad
ually eating into the expenses.
Second, that the company Is insol-
vent.

goods all over the country. They are
situated on Lamotte street. In the
Ninth ward, and when In full running
capacity gave employment to several
hundred men and girls. The complain
ants hope that the present state OF af.
fairs will facilitate matters in putting
the mills in operation again. The pro
cedure Of Mr.. Bird this morning arose
from the failure OF the stockholders tc
meet in session to carry on the business
of the company.
Judge Bradford accepted the petition
and named Monday next as the tim'
for the defendants to appear in eour
to answer to the suit.
The main object in the PLAINTIFFS
