MIXED UP THE SHIPMENTS.

A rather peculiar suit was filed in the
United States Court at Macon, Tuesday:
The Nashville, Chattanooga and St
Louis Railway sues w. C. Hightower of
Thoma ston for the value of twenty-seven
mules and one bay mare, placing the
amount at IS, 4S1. The allegations are that
the railroad company received from deal
ers at East st. Louis two carloads of
stock. One car contained thirty mules in
tended for w. c. Hightower at Thomas
VILE Ca, and the other contained TWEEN
ty-seven mules and hays nHare sf1tei1ded
for Moore 81 Acock, in Wilson, IN. c.
When the stock were stopped at Nash
ville Ell route, to be fed, the attendants
or employees of the company. got mixed
a. 10 cars and put the twenty-seven
mules and bay mare into the car intend
el for the Thomaston man, and the thir-
~ mules into the car intended for the
North Carolina man. The Thomaston man
sold his car load of stock as soon as he
received them, although he realized that
he had not bought the mare and that
some of the mules in the lot did not cor
respond with his recollection Of what he
had bought. The North Carolina man
threw his thirty mules back on the rail-
road company refusing to pay for them.
TIE company is now suing Mr.. Hightower
to make him take the thirty mules and
mare. He answers that the amount asked
for the twenty-seven mules and bay mare
is unreasonable, and the company must
decide what is right. He says $3,4S1 is too
much for him to pay for them.

DischarginE MoIasses.

The Italian bark Giannannina was Shift
ed yesterday from the foot of West Broad
street to the foot of Bull street where
she will finish discharging a cargo of mo-
iasses consigned to Gilbert & Co. A part
of the cargo was stored in warehouses
near West Broad street, and the balance
Will be stored in the building formerly
occupied by the Savannah Grocery Com
pany. AS Barbados is dotted with hun
dreds of sugar cane plantations, which
yield profitably, there Is the possibility
of building up a trade with the island.
The large output of sugar cane in the
South however, makes any very impor-
tant acquisitions in this class of shipping
improbable.

Atlanta Journal: Much interest has
bon aroused over the state through the
ropor, mat the railroads of Georgia have
,-f,rsed this year to give passes to the
farmers from every county in the state
Tor transportation to and from the an
NAL convention of the State Agricultural
Society. which is to meet in Thomasvhle,
Ca Aug. IA and Is. and many inquiries
have been made <recently at the state
AGRICULTURAL department regarding the
natter. The case of the railroads refus-
Inc this courtesy is said to be on account
of the fact that the privilege which has
been heretofore granted to the Georgia
Dairymens Association, the State Horti-
cultural Society," and the State Agricul-
r,raI Society has been abused. 1t is
claimed that the railroads have been i'm
posed upon and that large number
of passes have been applied for by per-
sons who were not duly entitled to them
and should not be allowed to enjoy the
courtesy.

High Mountains of the Moon.

The LeibnitZ range attains enormous
attitudes above the average level of the
moons surface and is sometimes seen
projected far beyond the regular curva-
ture of disk, thus destroying the circu-
lar contour and giving it a nOtched or
Serrated aspect. Several of the peaks
of these southern mountains measure
10000 feet in altitude, while one has
been estimated to attain the great
height of 10000 feet. All the chief
mountains of the moon which can be
seen from the earth with a telescope
have had their heights ascertained. The
German observers. Beer and Maedler,
have calculated the height of no fewer
than 1,095 lunar mountains. The Do
riel mountains supply an instance of
great elevation. the peaks of the three
leading ones being between $4,000 and
10000 feet high. Among other lunar
peaks may be mentioned Huyghens,
21,OO0 feet; Hadley, $4,000 feet; Brad
ley, $4,000 feet, and Wolf, 1000 feet

LEARNING A TRADE.
The Danger of Making a Specialist
of a Beginner.

The Danger of Making Specialist
of a Beginner.
1t is generally to the interest of an
employer that an apprentice should not
learn his trade as q whole, but only
little section of it, says Joseph Horner
in Cassier's Magazine. 1t pays better
to keep a lad repeating the perform
ance of one section of his craft than
to teach him all. More money is made.
But the apprentice becomes young
specialist prig in his teens, cocksure
over some little piece of handicraft at
which he may earn something over his
normal wages, and many a lad does
not become disillusiOned until he has to
face the world and try his luck in
other shops.
And therefore the best shops in
which to place lad are not the big es-
adjustments, but the small ones, where
every class of work is done and where
tools and appliances are often scant.
A lad will learn more in these than in
those replete with every appliance and
minutely subdivided into sections and
groups.
The best training for a lad today Is
that which he can evolve for himself
The greatest evil that can befall him
Is to become a specialist and nothing
more while in his teens. Yet that is
what must happen If he spends several
years tending machines or doing re-
petitive, unvarying tasks in one big es-
tablishment.
The best training, therefore, today is
that gathered by the peripatetic youth.
If lad cannot gain experience in one
place, he should move about, gathering
as much as he can accumulate with
one firm, then on to another, and at
tending training schools as opportunity
offers. His views become broadened,
he becomes self reliant, and in time,
having found his true work, he may
settle down as Il specialist.
