 Monday brought it's time-worn tale of 'iags," and the treasury of the city IS richer though very small number or "iaggers'' reached his honor in the alley of the police station Out in the fields and the mines the punishment of the victims ot blind tigers" tenfold in number greater than the men who buy drink legitimately' did not consist of fines imposed by courts. There are said to be twenty-two blind tigers" in Ensley beat. They pay nothing in taxes. That many saloons in Blrmlng- ham are taxed more than $220OO. But-any- thing for a jolly time, as the man said when the dog cut his tale off. The science of methynology, or the noble art of im- bibing, has given rise to many expressions applicable to the jag Some one hands in these: He was drunk, intoxicated inebriated, tipsy, full, loaded jagged tight topheavy, half shot, half gone, overcome overtaken, corned, elevated, happy, beery, boozy, groggy, foggy, hazy, dizzy, dopey oaralyzed He is half-seas over, three sheets in the wirJt, on the bay, off his troll ley, off his nut, under the influence of the weather, dead to the world, weak on his pins, all mops and brooms, and about to cast up his accounts. He has jag on, a
  sun in his eyes, he can't see hole in a lad der, and can't lie down without holding on.
 
 Referring to the fact that Miss Caroline Lewis Gordon, the beautiful daughter of General John B. Gordon" had arrived in New York for the purpose of becoming a professional interpreter of negro songs and dialects" yellow journal says that 4l,a Miss Gordon has been known as the Daughter of the Confedracy.'" So known to whom? By whom? When? Where? Hubbish All old Confederates, and the sons of many of them, love General Gordon more faithfully than they ever loved any other southern leader. This feeling towards him is something more than hero-worship- it is abounding affection, and open rever- ence. But they don't call his fair daughter the Daughter of the Confectionery" He doesn't; and she doesn't so esteem herself. The yellow journal is silly. The yellow journal is always silly. Miss Gordon is no more the Daughter of the Confectionery" than is barefooted lass blowing with an OK on Cleburne county hillside. By the way, great preparations have been made for the Confederate reunion in Louis- vile next week. The most venerable figure that could be there is General Michael l.. Bulger of Tallapoosa county, who has promised to attend, although he is nearly one hundred years old Another venerable figure will be John H. Reagan of Texas the only surviving member of Jefferson Daviss cabinet. He was Confederate postmaster general, and has since been governor of Texas, member of congress, and United States senator.
