A woodman named Oliver, living

A woodman named Oliver, living
in Tennessee, while cutting wood a
few days ago saw two foxes remain
ing constantly near a fallen tree.
Upon approaching the tree be dis
covered a large limb with cavity III
which were two half grown foxes.
Neither was able to walk, and evil
dently had never been out of their
place of confinement. 1t seems pro
bable that the foxes crawled into the
hole in the limb when very young
and remained there until they had
grown so that escape was impossi-
bic. They had been fed by the Cd
foxes through small aperture inthe
limb.

John Gary was little lawyer in
Aiken, not able to meet his beef bills
as they came due weekly. He was
one of several who to save and be in
dependent, bought their provis-
ions and had their meals prepared
cooked at restaurant and he was
generally not able from his law fees
to meet even these economic Efforts
At the end of his governship he was
known to have in real estate in Aiken
in stock in the Cumberland Gap Rail
road, and in the Bath Paper Mills, g
sum in the aggregate of over sixty
thousand dollars. How much he
owned besides in various forms OF
wealth is not definitely knowp, but it
will probably extend one hundred
thousand dollars. His official fees
during that time did not reach ten
thousand dollars, to say nothing tf
his expenses of living. That is the
way many Of the leaders have pre-
served their fdility. To many, very
many it has been a source of reVe-
nue.. To many it has been debt
extractor and a mortgage litter. To
the reformers it has been a dissap-
pointment of expectations and be-
revement of their present hopes.
But with the Anglo-Saxon revolutions
do not 60 backwards and will not do
that now. Toe true genuine revolt
ton will come and the efforts of the
combined powers Of darkness can't
keep it away. Renegrades and trait
ors will only delay. They can't pre-
vent. The present "lull' in the
political sky gives opportunity for
reflection and deliberation, and the
shaking eff of a few more contra
bands and the stoning to death of a
few more Akans in the camp who are
only seeking wages of gold and the
goodly Babylonish garments. The
fruits of the revolution have been
fritted away for the deceptive gew-
gaws of that everlasting now. When
we are ready for the journey Joshua
will be given and we will follow the
fiery pillars through this gloom and
midnight to our promised Caanan.
The revolution so far has only been
a declaration of indepedence. A
struggle for free thought and free
speech. These are two of the es-
sentials of any movement. Mental
slaves never revolve and political
serfs never reform. In political stag
nation, and in eternal peace and har-
mony is exactly where the devil
would keep the Anglo Saxon, but it
is just where God, in his greatly e
wisdom has forbidden his restless,
anxious spirit to stay. In submis-
sion and inertness be is far from
home, but in the midst of change
aud new formations he revels in his
native land. Campaigns and elections
are only vast forums for the exercise
of his faculties and for the training
of his future. Each failure will only
guard his caution and intensity and
deepen his conviction but never drives
him from whence he came. He is &
| political adventurer.
