I dreamed that you kissed me. dear
Was 1t indeed but dreamz
To my heart you lay very near
And can so much happiness seem?
In the rush of the night you came;
My hair was stirred by your breath.
And my blood would have leaped into
Had my sleep been the slumber OF
DEATH
And when you had kissed me, love,
A rose you laid on my mouth,
Did you think / could traitorous prove!
o one sweet flower of the South.

As I drank in the roses perfume.
And golden censer was swung,
And a glory EMBODIED the room

DYNAMITE IN A MINE BUCKET.


Two Men Descending With 1t When the
Explosive Let Go.
There was a fatal explosion under
very peculiar circumstances at Slope
No. of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and
Railroad company at Pratt City. Two
negroes, who were descending an air
shaft are dead, and the bucket in
which they were being lowered was
blown to smithereens. The negroes
were picked up at the bottom of the
shaft, and were both dead when
reached.
Just before the explosion it became
necessary for the two negroes, George
Allen and H. W. Harrison, to go down
into the shaft, which had been sunk
for the purpose of supplying air to the
men. They were placed in bucket
and lowered by means of a rope. In
side the bucket was lot of dynamite,
and, it is supposed, some caps. In
some way the explosive was ignited,
presumably from a lamp on the hat
on the head of one of the men, and
there was terrific explosion. Both
over rs feet to the bottom.
The report was distinctly heard at
the top of the shaft and at once a cloud
of smoke came to the surface. The
men on top realized what had hap
pened and commenced efforts to see
what damage had been done.
Communication with the bottom Of
the mine was secured and from those
there it was learned that the negroes,
having been blown from the bucket,
had dropped down to the hard rock.
There seems to be no blame to be. at
tached to anybody but the negroes
themselves. They had been warned to
be careful, and it is thought by all
who knew anything of the circum
stances that they are the victims of
their own incautious action.-Birming-

other kinds of bathing, is not for

At the general offices of one of the
railways wit. headquarters in Pitts
burg, recently, claim for two cents
was put through the usual system of
red tape and allowed. A passenger
hailing from the eastern side of the
state complained that the agent of the
company had torn off one mile too
many from his mileage book. He wrote
five pages of hotel stationery, repri-
handing the company for its careless
treatment of it's patrons and demanded
immediate settlement. He received a
courteous answer inclosing two cents,
with politely expressed hope that he
had not been seriously disconnected
by the occurrence.

Outgrowins the Foreigners.

The census returns show that the
native white population Of the United
States exceeds the foreign-born ele'
ment IA the ratio Of more than
five to one, there being more than 56,-
100000 whites against little more
than 100000 foreigners. OF the ma
tives something more than 100000
are also of native parentage. A more
striking fact brought out Is that since
1890 the native white element has in
creased % per cent, and the foreign
white element only IL. X this ratio
continues the foreign element must
steadily become a smaller proportion
of the entire population, which is only
another way of saying that the popu-
lation will become more homogeneous
as time passes.

The negro was soon captured and was
held for a time in the possession of a
posse Of citizens. They were unable,
however, to protect him and he was
