Har- bert moved that further action be deferred until next meeting and that petitioners be notified to be present and defend their petition. Seconded by MT. Jernigan. MT. Harbert stated that he did not mean by his motion to indicate that he favored a repeal of the ordinance, but thought that the petitioners ought to have chance to be heard. It would make them feel better and stop a lot of kick ing.

The Fate of Bresci.

Bresci, who recently murdered the King of Italy, will escape death, but his punishment, &C., cording to a recent dispatch is much worse than death. His first place of incarceration will be the Secret Cell," a chamber about 6 feet long by three feet wide, half lighted.
 A few inches above the floor is plank about half a yard wide and slightly inclined, which serves as a bed. The food is bread and water, passed through the little window by the jailor, the door being always kept vigorously closed.
 He will be condemned to abso- lute silence. If he breaks the rule he is subject to other punish ment, such as the straight waist coat, irons and straight bed. If he attempts his life in any way he will be put in the straight waist coat and at night in a sack which he cannot move.
 When he has suffered the pun ishment of the "secret cell" he will be removed to another cell where he must remain for 10 years. It's size depends on the construction of the prison. These cells are lighted from the corridor and are generally about two yards square. The bed is the usual plank, and bread and water the food. In winter single blanket is allowed at night. Silence is still enjoined, the only concession is the door being opened a few inches. The food is given only once in 24 hours. Prisoners in solitary confinement may neither read, write, smoke, nor work. They are condemned to absolute idleness and absolute silence.
 Very few men so sentenced complete their sentence; they either go mad or die.
 The extra punishment of the ''irons" is terrible. The hand cuffs are joined by chains to sim liar rings on the ankles. The prisoner IS seated on bench the shape of an ass back. At night, still in irons he can lie on his plank.
 The "straight bed'' is a strong wooden case resembling a coffin without lid. At the foot the sufferers feet are fastened in a kind of stocks, so that the legs cannot be moved, while the arms are confined by the straight waist coat. Unless by order of the governor the prisoner cannot be moved and his jailor has to feed him.

Cleveland NocOfnfalittal.

Ex-President Cleveland who has been importuned for an ex- pression upon the present cam paign for President, in a letter to a friend says: ''I am quite sure you wrongly estimate the value of any expression l might make concerning the political sit uation. Besides, I am by no means free from the perplexity which now afflicts thousands of those who love the principles of true Democracy. In these cir cumstances, l am not inclined to advise others as to their present political duty. A crisis has arisen when each mans conscience and informed patriotic sense should be his guide.

CHARACTER IN VOICE.

From Werners Magazine,

Unless the voice sounds cordially, words
are powerless; unless the voice attests self

unless the voice speaks sincerity the apolo-
gy is useless. 1t is necessary that We should
control the voice to reflection OF that mood
OF mind which we desire to present When
We would convince people of our efficiency
We must not permit weakened voice to
stagger under the words. When our heart
goes out in warmth and affection II cannot
get far in a brass-lined. from bound voice.
Cancellation is vain when the voice rings
defiance.

instrument whirs and wheezes. The most

What can We do about it? The difficulty
Is almost always first a voice habit-a color
the voice has taken on from some prevail

every one. This stain of the natural voice

Tying of voice individuality. an ohscuring

HOW SLANG BECOMES POPULAR.
Many Words in the English Language
Were Once Tabo0ed by Scholars.

Were Once Tab00ed by Scholars.
From the New York Commercial Advertiser
Language is being made so fast in these
days that it is unsafe for purists to formu-
late lists of words that are unfit for polite
use. A writer in the London Academy con-
tends that many words rejected of the pur-
lists are really rough-hewn stones that are
necessary to fill crevices in the language
and that the critic who would exclude them
is ignorant of his calling. William Cullen
Bryant's long list. published many years
ago and widely consulted ever since, the
Academy critic objects to as a bag filled
with bones of contention and liable to rattle
whenever it is touched.
The difficulty seems to be that while any
reputable list of this kind is pretty sure to
be authoritative in part, evidence of use of
forbidden words by some great author or
some author of growing fame Is likely to
crop up at any time and put the seal of
responsibility upon any mongrel word that
one has been accustomed to point the
finger of Scorn at. If you find Swift Gray or
some other master employing a word that
some picayune carper for verbal precision
is trying to ostracise you feel like asso-
cating with that word. Besides, some of
these rude but healthy offshoots of the
language are doing special duty, and after
proving their fitness for it will be lust as
fit for good verbal society as the rest.
What is the difference between an officer
and an official? "Oficial'' is nothing better
than lame cur of word in the estimation
of some people, but we are told now that
it Is perfectly proper: that it has its place
is. in fact, the square peg for the square
hole. An "ofhcer" is man of recognized
badges and known duties; an Official is a
man of more disguised and indefinite pow
er. The work OF society, the subdivision of
labor, has been making this distinction
while you, in your ignorance, didn't know
what was going on. An Officer appears
on parade ground or on deck in uniform
an official comes forth from private Of
flee, wearing "a froek coat and top hat, and
he can make you feel he is an official If
you run up against that reserve power of
which you see no outward manifestation in
spurs or gold lace. General Miles is an '1of-
f1cer." John D. Rockefeller is an 'sofficial. -
Verbal purists should keep in mind the con-
slant manufacture of distinctions that is
going on =, Df

There Are Two Heat Centers.
rom the Newcastle CEng.) Chronicle.

The eastern and western shores of the At
lantic ocean afford a very striking Illus
tration Of the variations Of temperature
from the line which theoretically should
prevail. On the American continent the
effects of isolation and radiation have free
play and as a result great diversities Of
climate are experienced within compare
lively short length of country; places only
a few hundred miles apart exhibiting great
differences between their mean annual tenn
peratures.
No such diversity exists on the eastern
side of the Atlantic, there being only about
one-half the variety of mean annual tenn
peratures In an equal line OF coast line that
exists on the opposite side Of the ocean. The
gulf stream is responsible for the stability
of the climate of the British isles but there
are other instances where an ocean reduces
the temperature in accordance with it's
latitude, the decrease OF temperature from
the equator to the poles being more rand
than under existing conditions
Not only does the heat equator not include
the geographical equator, but the heat
equatur changes its position and migrutos
from one place to another.

Almost all of mems inventions have been
foreshadowed by nature. The hypodermic
syringe with which the physician injects
morphine into patients arm has its coun-
terpart in the sting Of bee. The tunnel
borer is an adaptation of the work of the
teredo, or shipworm. The principle of the
balloon is found in certain fishes. The pa
per making industry is paralleled in the
building of wasp's nest. In the mechan-
ism of mans body there are Joints and
levers similar to those used in engines.
The automatic oiling Of surfaces which rub
together in an engine is on the same plan
Mans nervous system resembles the teie-
graph in its mode of working.
The ball bearings Of bicycle or autouo-
