ton. Several names are under considera-
ton, including those of Captain d. M.

these gentlemen will be selected. The po-
sition is one OF Importance and men of
known executive ability are usually picked
out. Colonel r. j. Bright may be made
sergeant at arms for the Democratic con-
vention now that he has severed his con-
nection with the Senate and will be free
to act In that capacity without antagoniz-
ing friends of the opposition.

THE REVOLUTION IN JOURNAL
 ISM

The improving of the public taste by literature of the "snippets' order has been a constant subject of re- proach for some years past, and the superior persons have now adopted an attitude of sublime resignation The Academy has been prompted to inquire into the matter, and reminds us that the education act of 1870 after a few years working created a new reading publica public with no traditions of
 self culture by means of books. It had
 the mechanical power to read, but had
 been taught neither the habit of reading
 nor the intellectual discipline necessary to render that mechanical power eff
 fective. Before a book it was helpless,
 but then arose the commercial instinct
 and hit upon what this great public
 wanted A huge revolution was ef-
 fected, and the publisher, from being
 an autocrat who dictated to the reading
 public what they ought to desire, was
 dethroned by the publisher who set to
 work to discover what as a matter of
 fact the unlettered public do want, and
 then assiduously ministered to it's in- firmities. The new tactics could not fail to prosper, and prosper they did
 beyond all expectation, so that old fashioned publishers have had to give way and adopt them. But the Acad- emy does not think the change is to be deplored. There is still, of course. a public for literature, perhaps bigger
 than ever there was, but it is all question of degree. It is better that the man in the street a creature scorn-
 r,,+I, al T r,l,I..
 fected. should read an English sixpen- ny magazine than that he should read the Sunday edition of New York pa per. The bookstalls of to-day disclose the germ of tremendous movement, a movement that, like everything else, must have a beginning Globe.

demand will gradually be built up for this particular class of tea, whereas, if it were similar in all respects to the imported teas, the dealers could easily substitute other varieties, and there would be no special demand for the home grown article.
 "The tea shrub is not only very hardy plant" said pr. Shepard, but it is very long-lived. There are planta- tions in China where the same bushes have been picked from for over two hundred years. Once established, a tea plaatation may be regarded as a permanent investment. It stands the climate we'll, being little susceptible to cold, and no insect or other enemies of the plant have destroyed as yet as is the case with nearly every other mark etable crop. One of the best features is that the harvesting season lasts six months beginning in April and ending in October; so that even a prolonged spell of bad weather does ot interfere with the crop. The work is light and for the most part can be done by wo- men and children. The drying and curing is somewhat difficult process, put sHdH pldAlS loi uolnS tLiS WI could be established, just as cotton gins are found in almost every town in the South. Hedge rows and fence corners furnish desirable locations for the tea bushes, and with the industry once es- tablished, as I now believe it will be, the farmers wives and daughters have a profitable source of income"
 pr. Shepard is not an enthusiast, though he is interested heart and soul in his work. He does not expect to make a fortune out of his tea planta- ton, nor even to get back the money which he has put into it. His purpose is to develop an industry which will benefit the entire South, and for which future generations will rise up and call is blessed -Savannah News

HIS GOOD FIGHT FOR LIFE,

| The Heroic Struggle of Woodman Who Met With an Accident in the Adirondacks
 l From the heart of the Adirondack will derness comes the following pathetic story of woodman's heroic struggle for life, after meeting with terrible acci- dent
 The accident occurred on the shores
 of Lake Massawepie in the town of Piercefield. A lumberman by the name of Jerry Dudy had contracted to fur nsh logs for the mill at Piercefield. He occupied, with hia wife and week old baby, a solitary cabin on the shorea of the lake. Dudy was at work some three miles in the forest felling spruce
 timber One day last week he had cut
 through Q tree about two and a half feet in diameter, and in felling it, it
 had become lodged in some nearby
 trees. This is a common occurrence, but the work of disengaging the tree involves great danger, and is the cause of many serious accidents.
 Dudy proceeded to butt off the tree. The crash came at an unguarded mo- ment, and he was knocked down, his right leg pinned to the earth under the great weight. He was unconscious for saome time, but after regaining his senses, he was not slow to realize the exceeding peril of the situation in which he was placed. He knew that if he re- mained inactive for any length of time he would freeze to death. He could just reach the axe, which had fallen near him, and with hia knife he cut off portion of the helve that he might use blade to better advantage in his reclin- ing position.
 The night advanced the stars ap- peared one by one in the heavens, and still the brave man toled on. Often- times he dropped his axe in despair But the thought of wife and baby at home always caused him to take up his task with renewed vigor. At last the tree was cut through, and with all his remaining strength he rolled the short butt from off lis limb. He was free He tried to rise, but his strength was fast failing, and he sank to the ground On examining his leg he found it to be broken in two places and frozen stiff
 Late the next day he reached the door of his cabin, almost dead from exposure and loss of blood. He had crawled three miles over the broken and almost undefined wood trail, dragging behind him his crushed and broken limb The thought of loved ones at home had given him strength to accom- plish the almost herculean task His wife rendered such aid aa waa in her power and then tramped through the deep snow distance of over mile to the nearest neighbor. Everything was done to relieve the man until a physi- elan could arrive from the village of Piercefeld, thirteen miles away.
 Pneumonia set in. He had suffered more than human strength could en- dure, and with the wife and child be- side him, for the love of whom he had suffered so much, he passed away Utica Herald-Despatch.
