THE OTHER DAY.

The other day we played upon the lea
Where meath the grass nimble river
RAM
But now | hear the murmur of the sea,
And we are turning home as we began.
The other day we dreamed of things
afar,
But now we hear the breakers on the
bar.
The other day we grew to manhood's
strength;
It's hours we're long and full of anx-
ious care,
But then we toiled and gloried in their
length,
And laughed at wrinkles and at silver
hair
When we were young, with strength to
toll and plan.
But, oh, my friend, how swift the
river ran!
Now, bowed by years, we stand beside
the gate;
The golden hours have passed by, one
by one.
In youth. alas! for time we could not
wait,
But now in truth our little day is
done.
The other day life was an endless span,
But, oh, my friend, how swift the
river ran:

STILL VERY PRIMITIVE.
Liie IN Portuguese Colonies Much Like
1t Was 800 Years Ago.


1t Was 800 Years Ago.
The Portuguese colonies in Africa
are the Rip Van Wrinkles land of real
ity. After three centuries of white
dominion they remain pretty much in
the condition in which Da Cana and
his bold successors left them. In the
years report of our consul for Angola
these Portuguese peculiarities stand
out strongly. Thus, from Loanda, the
capital, to Cape Town, is about 1000
miles, and the journey should take
about six days. What actually hap
pens is this: You first take trip of
1900 miles to Madeira, where you way
lay the next mail steamer, and then
complete the excursion by another
journey of 4,S00 miles to Cape Town.
IN short, 1900 miles have to be trav-
eled to cover a distance of 1000 miles.
A letter between Cape Town and Lo-
anda takes about two months. Here
is a picture of what trades mean in
the favored region of Cabinda bay,
where there is a single trader, who
occupies a house of three rooms, with
shop" of 20 by 5 feet attached. The
place is stocked with puncheons of some
vile stuff called rum" which are eX
changed for palm kernels. Knots of
natives from the interior villages with
loads Of kernels begin to present
themselves at the shop at a. M, and
when the trader at last makes his APP
rearance there is noisy crowd of kerr
nel-sellers and thirsty hangers-on. The
exchange of rum for kernels is quick
ly effected, and by 8 in the morning
the entire population may be seen ly-
ing under the shelter Of the cocoanut
palms, either stupidity drunk, or noisily
quarreling. On good" day, which
is often enough Sunday, the trader at
Cabinda bay gets rid of about 100 gall
Ions Of rum. And he AYERS that the
scene described is repeated every day
in the year. Next to rum and civil
cation" the greatest curse of West
Africa are smallpox and the sleeping
sickness. From the last no case of
recovery has ever been known, and so
contagious is it that in the native
Christian communities every COM
municant has a separate vessel from
which to partake Of the sacramento
wine. 1t is true there are labor ar
engagements which look uncommonly
like slavery-but then, so there are in
Rhodesia, and some are gleefully an
ticipating the time when johannesburg
will be better.-London Leader,

INSISTS ON HARMONY.
Mark Wants the Tennessee Pie
Eaters to Get Together.

NASHVILLE. Aug. 4 The Brown
low and Evans State Executive Com
mittees have been called to meet
here next week, and it is presumed
the gatherings will bring quite
number of leading Republicans who
are not members of either committee
to the city. So far as public an
nouncement goes neither committee
haa any particular object IN view In
coming together at this time, but
observers Of the trend of political
events know fully well that the
meetings are the outcome of Mark
Hanna's will. The national chair
man is insisting upon harmony
everywhere in the Republican ranks,
as he did in a Virginia congre scional
contest the other day. He realizes
that every Republican vote will be
needed this year, and he has told
the faithful they must get together
Both factions have their full State
tickets in the field, from governor
down. w. f. Poston of Crockett
county is the Evans candidate for
governor, while the Hon. John E
Mccall, ex-ConPressman from the
Eighth district, carries the Brown
low banner for the same office
Poston has never been heard from
since he was nominated, but Mccall
made a speech at GrNeneville the
other day in which he urged har-
mony in the interest of the national
ticket. 1t is not unlikely the result
of the meeting of the committees
next week will be that Poston will
be pulled off the ticket, and The fac.
tions will divide the congressional
nominations and rearrange the
county committees so as to give the
Brownlow men control where the
Brownlow sentiment predominates,
and vice versa where Evans is boss.
Lee Brock, assistant United States
Attorney in the Middle Tennessee
district, will probably be asked to
remain as the candidatefor Congress
in the Sixth district, but he will be
only meat for Congressman Gaines.
No matter what is done, one Con-
gresham, Walter p. Brownlow will
continue to be the boss of Tennessee
Republicanism, with Evans playing
second fiddle or not playing at all.

Asked what she regards as the great
est obstacle to an artists success,
Nine. Suzanne Adams, the youngest of
Mr.. Grau's prime dome, replies, un-
hesitatingly, Friends! who admire
and love you and interrupt your stud
les, tempt you away from them and
generally foil all your efforts to work
conscientiously; who would not tell
you of fault lest they hurt your feel
ings, and never tell you of virtue lest
they stimulate your vanity" Constant
musical study and care of the physical
being, without coddling, are the prin-
ciples Nine. Adams advocates as those
likely to bring an ultimate success to
the ambitious singer.-Harper's Bazaar.

MAURY COUNTY'S
POPULATION.
VIII the Census for 1900 Give II
Over $4,000?
The Chief Statistician for Population
from Present Indications,
Thinks Not.

County Attorney w. b Greenlaw
several weeks ago wrote to the Cen
sus Departure emit, making inquiry IN
regard TO the population NJ Maury
cour ty as shown by the 1900 census,
desiring TO know, for business
reasons. whether ii would exceed
10000 or not. In reply, Mr.. Green
law has received the following let
tei:
"lur. W. b GreenId,O, Columbia,
TeRA- DedrSir: In connection with
700 request of july IL for state
mpnt o. the population of Maury
county, Tenn, ] would respectfully
state at this time for your informa
uon that, while the schedules for
only % of the 81 enumeration dis
tricts comprising Maury equity have
thus far been received in this office,
a statement, based upon the daily re-
ports of the enumerators for that
county. shows population of only
n little more than 10000. This Is not
final or conclusive, however, bit it
may serve to give you some idea as
TO the probabilities of the official
count when made.
The population OF Maury county
at the last three censuses was as fol
lows: 1890, 38,1l2; 1880. 80 904; 1870,
36,289 Unless the county has gained
materially by annexation of territory,
these figures do not indicate prob
able population of over $4,000 in
1900, and the daily reports of the
enumeratOrs, which, however, are
not always accurate, do not indicate
such population.
II have directed that the sched-
ules for Maury county shall be
counted as rapidly as received, and
will furnish you with definite
statement, based upon the official
count. as soon as the count has been
completed. Very respectfully,
"WM. G.. HUNT,

Indians Sunk in Almost Hopeless Bar
barism Inhabit Great Areas.
The trip of the United States gun
boat Wilmington up the Amazon river
promises to be looked upon as one of
the achievements of the closing CEN
fury. The commercial object of the
Wilmington's cruise was to see how
rubber was found in the natural state,
and what manner of man it was who
dwelt in the remote Businesses of the
great forests whence it came. During
the gunboat's stay the officers visited
many Indian villages. The Indians
were found to be apparently docile, but
there was no mis!aking their uncivil-
lied state. Clothing, save a strip or
two, worn by the women, are unknown.
The men are strong and muscular, and
show great chest development. They
are unprecedented, of middle height,
with well shaped limbs and small hands
and feet. Their hair is black, straight
and rather coarse, the features broad,
cheekbones not generally prominent,
eyes black, and, strange to say, some
times oblique like those of the Tartar
races of Eastern Asia. The sole wea-
pons in their possession are the spear
aad bow and arrow. The bows are Of
great length, and in the hands of a
skilled native can be made formidable.
In some Of the native huts the Ameri-
can visitors found curious objects
which, on closer investigation, proved
to be mummified human heads. This
was significant, inasmuch as It proved
that the tribe belonged to the class
knowR as head hunters" a term de-
rived from their habit OF preserving
the heads of their enemies killed in
battle. The process consists in remov-
ing the skull and treating K with Ger
tain herbs until the head has been re-
duced to about one-siKth Of its original
size. The hair and features are pre-
served intact. thus giving the head =
very life-like appearance. The lips
are sewn together with hide thongs.
upon which are recorded the details Of
the battle.
