At the recent m~atriculation examina-
tions Of the University Of Breslau, a
young German peasant with his moth
er and sisters passed with honors. The
mother came first on tho entire list.
In order to encourage the young man
in his work, his mother and sister had
since his childhood studied his lessons
with him. A less spectacular version OF
family cooperation goes or daily in one
OF the most beautiful homes at a fash
ionable resort. Directly after breakfast

daughters, one grown and n young
son.. join in a half-hour's spelling
down" Thanks to this little ruse, the
boy, who several teachers had declared
could never be taught to spell, is over
coming an ignorance which would have
seriously crippled his collegiate course,
and been a source Of modification all
his life.

have been put down by the Britisher
as a piece of Yankee impudence. But
who could resist the mild persuasive
influence of the shad, the joy and rap

stony British heart warmed and
glowed when its owner came as a trav-

licious food. So shad is to be intro

WILL REBUILD AT ONCE.
Burned District to be Rebuilt at Once
Commences Next Week.


The owners of the burned dis
trict will commence to erect snb-
stantial brick buildings next week.
J. Z. Spragins, who is a property
owner there, said yesterday morn
ing that work would commence as
soon as the owners of the property
could get together and decide upon
just what they wanted.
Mr. Spragins said he did not
know whether they would build
one or two. story buildings yet, but
they would put in good buildings,
aud they would be at least 100 feet
deep, aud probably some of them
more.
Lee Cathey, the contractor, was
seen, and he said he had been ap-
preached regarding the replacing
of the old wooden shacks with
good brick houses, and that his
answer to the parties was to the
effect that he was ready to 90 to
work as soon as they would draw
up a contract.
1t seemed to be the opinion Of
Mr., Spragins that all the property
owners on the burned district
would get together and make a
Jumping contract for all the build

had rather not go in, but notwith-
standing that, from 20 to 100 can
be found there most all the time.
After they get in there some Of
them want 10 get out, but their
friends either fail or refuse to 90
on their bond, so they have to re
main and tough it out.
Then it is when they get weary
and some Of them will resort to
anything to gain their liberty.
Friday night four of the negroes
undertook to go through the floor,
with view, perhaps, of getting to
the ground and tunneling out.
They had only bursted up the
plank in the first floor (the rooms
have double hoor) when they were
discovered, and a stop put to il at
once by putting them in the dark
cell, together with one white man,
who seemed to be aiding them all
he could.
Yesterday at noon staples were
driven in the wall about as high as
a mans head and handouts placed
on the wrists of the offenders and
the cuffs were fastened to the
staple, so they were forced to stand
up all the time, aud that in total
darkness, their diet being bread
aud water.
They will not undertake to do
this trick again soon after they get
out of that dark dungeon.
