a horny-handed son of toll, with his
wife, attended by few sympathizing
neighbors, appeared before the font of
small village church in England,
carrying little founding which had
been deposited on the villagers door
steps, and which he was bringing up.
"Ah,' exclaimed the minister who
was acquainted with the little cpl
sode; then you have brought no
body's child to be christened?'
Yes, sur" replied the kindly vii
lager; I'VE ha brought the fatherless
and mitherless little crfin for ye to
baptlze."
"And the name?" queried the cler.
gyman, as he held out his hand for
the slip of paper which he always re-
nD1d with the name written there
on.
Well" replied the foster father,
I'VE amt quite decided yet. Ye see,
we wanted something suited special
for i'm. We thowt first o. Melchize-

mither, but that was too long. Then

STRANGE TAX.
Levied by British Government on wearers of the COckade-Some-
 thing About the Decoration.

Inasmuch as the English government is about to impose a tax of couple of guineas, that is to say of about SID, on cockades worn by liveried servants, it may be well to recall the fact that, strict ly speaking, cockades should only be worn by the servants of officers of the army and navy and those of government officials In England, says the New York Tribune, there is one kind of cock ade worn by the servants of military men and another by the servants of court officials, government officials, judges and justices of the peace. The two cock ades resemble one another so closely that it is difficult to distinguish them apart.
 As no mention of cockades is made in the Encyclopedia Britannica, it may be of interest to mention that they were introduced at the accession of King George l. of England, when his adherents adopted black cockade on their hats to distinguish them from the Jacobites, who wore white, the color of the Stuarts. From being at first party badge of Eng fish gentlemen devoted to the present Hanoverian dynasty. the cockade grad ually came to be worn as a mark of dis tinetion. civil military or naval, under the sign manual of the crown
 I may add that the cockade is worn in this country by the liveried servants of the president of the United States and of the secretary of state.

pr. Williamson Syears.

Yorktown, Ark, Jan. lSth-Last week a statement was published from Leland Williamson, M. D., of this place, to the effect that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best medicine for all Kidney Diseases and that he uses them with uniform success in his daily practice.
 No one who knows Dr. Williamson will doubt for moment the complete truth of his fearless declaration, but to com pletely clinch the matter in the minds of those who may not have the pleasure of a personal acquaintance with this celebrated physician, Dr. Williamson has appeared before Mir. H. E. Greene, J. F. for Mont gomery county, and made sworn state ment.

An Anderson Man Stabbed in Atlanta.

The Atlanta Journal of the Goth inst.
says;
mill hand from Anderson, 8. c., lies in
the Grady hospital in serious condi-
ton caused by knife wound received
by him in front of 81 Carroll street
late Wednesday night. Sullivan does
not know who his assailant was, and
the police have no description Of him.
"Sullivan was stabbed in the left
side below the heart, tie knife CLAN
cling down his ribs. The doctors at
the hospital have hope of his recovery,
but it was stated Thursday morning
that he is in serious condition.
Sullivan came to Atlanta on an ex-
cursion from Anderson, 8. e. He has
no distinct recollection Of the occcI-
renee: and has no theory to offer ex-
cept that some man probably attempt
ed to rob him Whoever it was ap-
preached him from behind in dark
place.
"The supposition is that he went to
pay q visit TO friends on Carroll street
this being locality where mill opera
tlves live, and on his return uptown
was assaulted"
The. latest information from the
wounded man is that he is doing as
well as possible, and his wife will have
him brought home as soon as he is
able to leave the hospital. Mr.. Sulli-
van has the reputation of being q
steady, peaceable man, and his friends
here believe that he was assaulted for
the purpose Of rObbing him.

Cold Day in August.

We have often heard the old folks
talk of the "cold day in August"
which was experienced in 1853, but the
younger generations never experienced
Q cold day in August until last Satur-
day, when they got it solid. The mer-
curry dropped to "a degrees late in the
afternoon, when the men folks donned
their overcoats and the housekeepers
built fire in their rooms and placed
blankets on their beds, all of which
felt very comfortable.
Friday was warm day, and that
night heavy rain set in and con-
tinued, without ceasing only ut short
intervals several times, until noon on
Saturday. The rains did considerable
damage in many portions Of the coun-
ty. Nearly oil of the small streams got
ont OF their banks and several small
bridges were washed away. A small
trestle near the Broadway trestle, on
the railroad between Anderson and
Bolton, was slightly damaged. Fortu-
nan, the efficient section master on that
portion of the railroad, rode out on his
crank car and discovered the condition
of the trestle. The east bound train
from Walballa was due about TO-
o'clock. and he tagged it down. thus
probably preventing terrible wreck
and saving the lives of q number of
people A train came up from Bolton,
the passengers and mail were trans
ferred and the Walhalla train return
cd. The trestle was soon repaired and
the afternoon trains crossed it safely.
The new work on South Main street
waa badly washed and another portion
of the Blue Ridge freight depot fell in.
