Why She is Happy.

Miss Lydia Smith, recluse, who has
lived in the okeanokee Swamp all her
life. is probably the tallest woman In
the south. She is six feet six inches
high. and weighs about 200 pounds. She
is about 40 years old, and was good
looking woman once. Miss Smith owns
and manages farm on a hummock
In the great and mysterious swamp,
where bears, wolves and catamounts
are numerous. The nearest cOmmu-
nifty is six miles away, at Nudge, Ga.
The farm is cultivated by her, without
aid from anyone, and her crop last
year was ] bale Of cotton. 200 bushels
Of corn, 10 barrels Of cane syrup, 200
bushels Of yams, 10 bushels OF field
peas and a quantity Of vegetables and
melons. She owns several hundred
head OF cattle and about fifty hogs,
which she looks after herself.
She is masculine In her ways, rough
rider, and the best shot with a rifle
or shotgun in the Okehnokee region.
Many bears, wolves, catamOunts, foxes,
deer Wildcats, ailigators and wild ducks
have been killed by her. Miss Smith
lives in u dIlapldated old log hut. She
does not care to receive visits from
anybody. and never leaves home eX-
ceptlng for an occasional trip to the
market. For twenty years she has been
a recluse. in which time she has made

A Non.ResIdent CandIdate.

There were many amusing and in
teresting features in the recent Ohio
Democratic convention which met at
GAINESVILLE. 1t was by no means a
happy family gathering, and Its delib-
erations inflicted many wounds that
will not heal. The opposition to Nc
Lean did not let an opportunity slip
to impress upon the convention that II
they nominated the proprietor OF the
Cincinnati Enquirer they would vlrtu-
ally be asking the people to vote for u
nonresident, referring, Of course, to his

eral Warner. in placing the name of
that old soldier. Colonel HiIbourne, of
Columbus, before the convention, re-
marked:
Moreover. Colonel Kilbourne lives in
Ohio. He has not had to move into the
state. for he never went out of 1t. Re
member that, while you nominate, the
people elect. and with them you must
reckon"
But these words of warning fell upon
ears deaf to any eutreaty, as the dele
gates jmgled the purchase money OF
Mclean in their pockets.
The orutory Of the convention was as
fervid us the weather. one gentleman
speaking of the man he was nominate
itg declared that he would sink his
,Iitter,nr battle-axe into the Shiny bull
waIk behind which the foes OF Dem
ocracy we're crouchlng." Every speaker
against Mclean was treated with scant
courtesy. frequently rudely interrupted.
1t was a peculiar gathering in many
respects. In the opening prayer the
minister invoked delIverance OF the
FIliplnos from the brute force now be-
ing inflicted upon them" 1t was so
radical that 1t brought forth rounds
of vocIferous applause" Things have
come to a fine pass these days when a
minister of the Gospel is found pet-
tloning the Throne of God in a stump
speech.
In the resolutions the party is pc
culiarIly inconsistent In stating that II

a happy way of repeating itself in
matters of this character. and our Ohio
friends need not fear the outcome in
the present instance.

Christian at Work: While the gen.
erai synod of the Reformed Dutch
church was sitting in New York. in
1871, a quaint-lookIng old man, with a
broad brimmed. round-crowned hat in
his hand. walked calmly up the aisle
to the presidents seat, bowling as he
came.
"Mr. President" he said, II want to
talk"
president asked. Are you a member
OF this body, sIr?"

The president reminded him that
none but members had right to speak,
but an aged minister. who had Just
come In, recognized the would-be talker
and said, 81 move that the Rev. Elias
Van Benschooten have leave TO talk"
The motion was carried, and the old
man went up to the presidents table
and drew forth from his pocket roll
of bank bills. These he counted-$SOO
in all. Then he drew out another pack
age Of securities, amounting to 9l3.S4O,
and counted them out, afterward. In a
few, well-chosen words, presenting the
whole sum to the synod for educational
purposes.
II was the first endowment made In
the Dutch Reformed church for theo-
logical education. The old gentleman's
speech was certainly out OF order, but
everybody felt that 1t was distinctly n
speech in the right place.

that was not only of national signiti-
canoe, but of more than passing inter-

1853. These who were not killed in the
fight with the Virginia state troops at
the arsenal, were hanged at Charles

The tragic affair holds a prominent
place In history as toreshadowlng that
awful conflict OF arms and the con-

which John Brown was martyred at
Harpers Ferry. The bones of these
men who were fanatIcally right ut the
time, but technically wrong, now rest
in peace by the side Of their heroic
leader. John Brown, at North Elba,

again.
