] MEXICAN HANDSHAKERS.

Custom Which Seems to Be Carried On
@ to Absurd 1ExteIlt.
Handshaking in Mexico is much
more commonly INDUCED in than in
Anglo-Saxon countries. Friends would
not think Of entering or leaving
house without shaking hands, not only
with the host and hostess, but all 9th
er guests who might be present, and
the ladies would kiss each other, both
coming and going, on both cheeks.
They even observe this formality upon
the occasion of a chance meeting on the
street or in the car. Gentlemen ac-
quaintances passing each other on the
street either tip their hats as they
would to lady, or at least salute each
other with the hand by touching the
hat, or more of a military fashion.
Gentlemen who are old friends stop
and shake hands, and pass compli-
ments OF the day, and if they have
not met for some time they will un-
doubtedly go through what is termed
the "bear hug'-put their arms around
each other and pat each other on the
back, one passing one arm over the
shoulder of his friend the other under
his arms, while the second party oc-
cupies a reverse position. When this.
embrace is concluded they shake hands
and tip their hats, at the time, mur-
muring the conventional words Of
greeting. They then are ready to
inquire as to the health of the re-
.spective members of the two families.
Gentlemen shake hands with many Of
their friends both upon entering and
leaving a street car. The inspector of
the tickets on the cars will shake
hands with a number of his regular
passengers every morning, clerks be-
hind the counter of a dry goods store
will shake hands with the customers
that they know, and when the en-
ployes Of mercantile establishment
assemble in the morning the formal
greeting is never omitted Modern

The capture of the British general,
Prescott, in July, 1877, was perhaps the
first successful attempt of the kind.
Gen. Prescott commanded the British
forces in Newport, r. l., and went for
the summer to a fine house some five
miles out of the city. Col. William Bar
ton, knowing this, determined to cap
ture him, if possible, and on July 10,
l777, with forty-one comrades, rowed
across from Warwick Point, on the
west shore of Narragansett bay, and
reached the house undiscovered. The
door of the house was burst in by
negro, who used his head as battering
ram; Prescott was asleep and. awoke
to find himself a prisoner. He was not
allowed to dress, but in his cloak, with
a captor carrying his clothes, was fore
ed to the boat and taken within the
toms headquarters in New Jersey. He
was exchanged later. sa>:
The successful capture of Gen.
Stoughtpn by Mosby and his rangers
in March, 1868, was the result of a
carefully made plan. Mosby, with,
twenty-nine men, entered Fairfax
court house. passing themselves off as
belonging to the Fifth New York cav
airy, and while some of the band at
tempted to. capture Col. Wyndham, the
leader went to the house where the
general was sound asleep. At the
name of Mosby Gen. Stoughton sat UP
in in bed, wide awake in. an instant.
Have you got him?" he asked. He's

was taken to Gen. FItzhugh Lees head

RIsKED LIFE FOR HORSES.
Periloas Exploit Of Glrl of Fourteen on

Perilous Exploit of Girl of Fourteen on
Railroad Trac ck.
At Manuel, N. Y, the other day Mad
cap Elsie Wiedemann, only IA years
old, astride her saddle horse daringly
rescued her fathers two horses from
being ground to death on the railroad.
She, not only saved the two horses, but
she did it at the risk Of her own life,
and she is the heroine of the village.
Little Miss Wiedemann is an enthu-
siastic horseback rider She is the
daughter, of Robert Weidemann, a
Well-knoWn resident Of Clarkstown
Mr.. Weidemann's hobby is horseback
riding. He has several fine saddle
horses on his place near Manuel. Two
OF Mr. Weidemann's horses strayed on
the Piermont branch tracks as the af-
ternoon train came along at good
speed. The horses stayed on the track
and galloped wildly ahead of the on
coming locomotive. Presently the en-
glneer and fireman were astonished to
see come tearing madly down to the
tracks a little girl in bright red caI
and jacket. The bold little rider gal
loped along in man fashion just ahead
OF the big iron horse that was bearing
down upon her. At the point where
this happened a path runs for some
distance alongside the tracks. The
madcap little rider was bent upon saw
ing 'her papa's two horses. And she
did. Hair f1yingsto the winds and keen
ly alive to her danger, she gallope6
on, overtaking the maddened horses
racing just ahead of her. Calling them
by their names in the voice the ami
mails well knew, the girl got them of
the tracks in the nick of time, and as
thrilling finale to her performance
the little red-clad figure dashed across
the tracks with the locomotive only
second behind her And then, with the
prettiest little smile possible and
wave of her tiny handkerchief, bound
ed up an embankment at the side OF
the tracks to a place of safety. The
train crew and passengers who had
seen little Miss Wiedemann's daring
act waved handkerchiefs and hands in
response and threw her smiling CLAN

SENATOR CALLS AUDIENCE.
Contained No One of Lesser Rank thar

Contained No One of Lesser Rank than
the Vice President.
T. There are two ways of looking at
anything, and the way a wit of Wash
ington explained certain lack Of au-
dience in the senate, when a southern
senator made speech was certainly
the most. delightful way of defining a
somewhat chilling incident. !
It has passed into history that Hon.
Wilkinson Call Of Florida, though for
three terms a United States senator
and highly honored by his state. did
not make a great impression on the
senate as speaker and that he thus
disappointed all those who have the
tradition in their minds that all south
.ern statesmen are orators Senator
Call, it is said, once arose to make a
speech when the senate chamber was
rather empty. AS he spoke the few
members of the senate who were there
filed out to get luncheon No one re-
mained on the floor to listen to the
speech, but the president of the senate
still sat in his place, dignifed and
calm. The galleries were also empty,
and the incident became the subject Of
Washington N7i 11 gossip. At a dinner party
where a southern politician was a
guest it was asked what he thought Of
the southern senator's audience when
he made m his speech in the senate, this
orning, Then came a clever answer,
;Ee Tor the southern man said, with a
grave face: sI thought it a very dis
tlnguished audience. There was no
tperson there of less rank than the vice
president OF the United States. = SAT-

Tree as q Land Owner.

A magnificent oak tree at Athens,
Ga, not only owns itself, but possesses
other property. It was owned many
years ago by Colonel w. H. Jackson,
who, in his childhood, played around
its massive trunk and in later years
grew to love it almost as he would
his own child. Fearing that after his
death the old oak would fall into the
hands OF persons who would destroy
1t, he recorded a deed conveying to the
tree "entire possession of itself and OF
all land within eight feet of it on all
sides. -.

HOLDING COTTON FOR HIGHER PRI-
CES AND PAYING MORTGAGES.
No New Mortgages Are Being Pla-
rced and Cotton Land is at a Pre-
mium-Some Interesting Facts.

Mr.. j. M. Dresser, one of the
foremost citizens and real estate
man of Monroe, La. who register
ed at the Denechaud this morning,
has some very encouraging re-
marks to make along the line of
prosperity for the Louisiana farm
ers. While in Natchez the other
day, for instance, he says that the
president of the First National
Bank there, a friend of his, made
the statement that this year more
than $500, 900 in loans had been
made to farmers on cotton being
held than made during the previ-
GUS year.
In the northern portion of the
State where Mr.. Dresser is most
intimately acquainted with the
business situation, he says that
mortgage have become almost a
thing of the past. Farmers have
paid them off in large numbers.
The mortgage companies are now
selling at good profit the land
that came into their hands through
foreclosure in years past.
The cotton mill at Monroe,
which is now in course of construc-
ton at cost of 100000 will. he
thinks, add considerable to the va
lue of cotton land in that vicinity

farmers and planters of Northern

Must Marry or Pay a Tax.

We have been informed that a
bill will be introduced in the next
Legislature and probably adopted,
which will be directed against un-
grained bachelors over the age of
thirty years.
It is said that the ceiibacy Of q
man is always of his own volition
while that of a woman, in the
greatest number of cases is alto
|gether involuntary.
The bill proposes to levy an an
nual tax of $50 on bachelors of q
certain age to counterbalance the
expenses of household or the in
convenienees of a short tempered
mother-in-law.
Whether this will prove crafty
ing news to manageable girls, we
do not know but the fact remains
that the bill be pushed through
with the result that either the re-
venues of the State will be consi-
derable increased or more mar
riages will take place.
We feel sure that the author OF
this proposed law is destined to
become the most popular man in
the whole State of Louisiana.
