Various Suggestions About Monkeys.


There is a good deal of dis
cussion just now over the
story that in Mississippi
monkeys>ere used as cotton
pickers. 1t is asserted that
there is talk of introducing
them IN factory hands at
Statesville, but this lslegard
ed ae unsafe, for lear the
monkeys might be always
getting their tails mixed up
in the machinery, The Lynch
burg Advance in turn says
some one opposes the IRON,
key AS n cotton field hand
because of the fear that at
the time the simians become
expert the Yankees will SIT
them free and give them the
franchise. An AshevilIe man
is investigating the plan of
equlpping "a farm for raising
tal'less monkeys, and asking
some future Legislature to
declare they shall never vote
unless their poll tax Is paid
and each is able to read 500
words of Greek a Minute

zen.

Calling a Man o Liar.
New York World.

New York World.
The Texas Legislature is
considering a bill which is of
interest to liars there and ev-
erywhere else.
If this becomes a law, proof
that a man has been called a
liar will become a full defense
in assault and battery.
That is to say, the man
with the battered nose, black.
ened eye and hiatused front
teeth will learn in a court OF
justice that it "ser7es him
right"
The laws governing liarsi in
other States vary. In Ken
lucky it is a misderneanor
punishable by a 500 fine to
call any man a liar, and a
police justice of Louisville
has declared from his bench
that a lie in Kentucky means
a blow. This memorable
declaration was given in dis
charging honorably a man
who had knocked down an
other fellow for calling him a
liar and had been brought to
court to answer.
In Virginia, by the law of
1695-'96, a man who calls
another man a liar is guilty
of a misdomeanor and on
conviction may be fined not
more than $25.
In Georgia it is slander,
punishable by $1,000 fine or
a year in the penitentiary, or
both, to call a man a liarun-
less you can prove thar he
is one, in which case you get
clear. The Georgia courts
hold that q lie constitutes
the first blow and justifies a
violent response,
In Arkansas passing the
lie is a misdolheanor punish
able by q fine.
In Mississippi insulting
words are civilly actionable.
In South Carolina and West
the same.

luggage on the wagons thu
second day and Jared much
better. Our regiment went
in front the second day ant
we passed through a country
with some very beautiful
scenery. The steep, rugged
hills which we saw reminded
me very much Of the hills
around Blowing Rock. We
passed through several small
towns of which San Jase was
the largest. Our band play
ed as we passed through
town and the natives follow
ed the music in great crowds
for me distance. They
seemed very glad to see the
"Americans," as they called
US. After having marched
about 16 miles wc again
pitched our tents for the
night. Our camp was on top
of a hill overlooking the city
of Gulnes, and the whole
country between US and the
Caribbean Sea wds spread out
in one grand panorama be-
fore our eyes. 1t was a grand
sig ht to stand upon that hill
and look away to the south
and behold the majestic blue
sea in the distance and the
beautiful level country, clad
in the picturesque verdure of
green foliage. 1t was a scene
never to be forgotten. Early
next morning the boys began
looking around to see what
they could find that would
interest them and very soon
some one returned saying
they had discovered a very
large cave in the mountain
not far from camp and great
crowds of the boys obtained
candles and started in the d.
rpction Of the cave. We were
not long in finding an en-
trance and were soon inside
creeping around as best we
could, for our candles did not
light up the cave very bril-.
liantly. We Travelled for
some distance un,i er the
mountain, and finding an
other entrance we came out
ha wing satisfied our curiosity
with respect to thatimmense
cavern. We left this camp
at 2 O'Clock p. m. and passed
through the city of Guincs
and one mile beyond it we
pitched our tents G N the
banks of a beautiful stream
OF clear, sparkling water. We
were now in twelve miles of
the Sea and a few companies
were intending to 60 on the
beach next day but we were
informed they had yellow fe-
yer over there and we declin-
ed the idea of going. We
stayed at this place two days
when we broke camp and
Tor home, going back
the same route we had come
down. We arrived at camp
on Monday the 9th having
been gone nine days. The
road which leads to Gulnes
is certainly the finest road |

Douglass, who is our Brigade
Commander, leading. TUNED
to the right and went through
a very rough, hilIy country
until about 2 o'clock, when
we came to the road which
leads from Havana to the
city of Guines-which is the
second city in size in the
Province of Havana-and is
36 miles from Hava. Almost
every hill we passed, until We
came tn the road, had a
blockhouse on top, with rifle
pits, bitches and a barbed
wire fence around it. We
stopped near one of these
and ate our dinner, while u
bridge was being constructed
across a small stream, the
hanks of which were too steep
and high for us to cross con
venientIy, and in a short
time the hill covered with
the boys who were anxious
to see the old fort and get
some kind of a relic to carry
back home with them. After
the bridge was completed,
which did hot take more than
half an hour, we resumed our
march, coming to the road
Just in time to get ahead OF
the wagon train. We march
ed on until near 5 O'Clock
when we halted and took up
camp near a large, beauti-
ful spring. The wagons hav
ing come up, our supper,
which consisted ofhard-tack. |
coffee, bacon and potatoes,
was soon ready and we ate
very heartily and enjoyed it
as none but a tired and hun

them caught up with US. We
had carried our blanket,
