Boston. Crooked Streets.

Boston has had to stand much Joking
on the subject of its crooked streets.
Every one has heard Of the stranger
who, lost in the tortuous ways, des-
perately caught the coat tails OF the
man in front Of him and got along
very well until an abrupt turn revealed
the fact that it was his own coat tails
to which he was clinging. Early last
century Frenchmar gave an interpre-
tation Of the deviousness Of the high
ways which is both pleasant and pa
triotic. 1t is found in a book called "a
Trip to Boston, by E. c. Wines.
81 have passed delightful morning
In Boston," writes the author. 'We
went to Charlestown in an omnibus,
passing through a considerable portion
of the city. The irregularity Of the
streets is amazing. 1t is common
saving that Boston was laid out by
COWS, and I can well believe 1t. The
labyrinth of Crete never equaled it. !
do not say the irregularity is disagree
able; on the contrary, the effect is
pleasing. To stranger 1t is per
petual surprise"
Many years ago the Marquis OF
ChatelOt visited Boston.
Marquis" said an apologize citizen
''you will find Boston streets very
crooked. They turn and twist in ev
cry direction"
"Ah, YER good, YER good" replied
the courteous nobleman. "Et show de

The EVerRlade State Is Larger Than

But few people have any conception
Of Florida's extent. Jacksonville is
about as far north Of Miami as she is
south Of Charlotte, n. c.; about as far
north Of Key West as she is south Of
Danrille, Va. Ignorance Of the extent
of Florida leads to many amusing mis-
takes We sometimes hear The rail

twenty-four hours to go from Pensa-

Pensacola to Chicago in the same
length Of time it would take him to so

as long as from the lakes to the gulf.

A Great Painters Beginning.

Sir Thomas Lawrence was one of
the great portrait painters IN England.
His parents were poor. his father be-
ing 4 country innkeeper. One day
Lord Shaftesbury's father and mother
stopped at the inn, having their young
er son, the future lord, with them. In
conversation the innkeeper spoke Of
the genius Of his boy in drawing and
wished them to test it by a picture Of
their son. They assented, thinking to
crafty a fathers pride, but not look
ing for any evidence Of superior talent
The boy came in modestly, with chalk
and paper, and in few minutes had
drawn picture Of their soE on which
the parents looked with wonder. They
recognized the genius and the promise
Of future greatness and befriendcd the
young artist, giving. him the help need
ed to develop his wonderful gift.

"othe,1o, In a Malay Theater.

A correspondent writing in the AUS

o. "Othello" in Malay theater: 1T
was all in Malay. Of course, but where
they had got the European costumes
from I cannot imagine They were Of
all kinds and descriptions. Othello was
dressed as a toreador, with tennis
shoes on; Cassie, as Henry VIII; Iago
in a black velvet court suit, with a
barrister's wig we'll down over his
nose; Desdenona, in short Spanish
dancing girls dress; Roderigo, green
Druid's gown, with pink stockings and
tanned boots. But the joke Of the
whole thing was the music. There was
6 Malay orchestra of banjos, mando-
Inns, ETC., but they played scarcely any
native music. They all simply love
European music, to which they set
their own Malayan words. The whole
play was interspersed with songs just
like ou. ec2aic operas"

Lost, strayed, or stolen from
this mundane sphere, a young
man with horid complexion and
curly locks, who is regarded as
one of the handsome, energetic,
enterprising and hustling travel
ling correspondents of the News
and Courier, and bearing the
name of NJ. c. Brunson. The
whereabouts of this young man
is anxiously looked for, and if
he cannot be found, the railroad
story he was to write about the
advantages of the Alcolu rail-
road to this section of the coun-
try would be highly appreciated.
Mr.. Brunson, always on the
lookout to advance the interests
of the News and Courier, had an
interview with Mr.. D. W. Alder
man, about the Alcolu railroad
and it's future connections and
purposes, and ever since: we
have been watching the columns
of Charleston's morning pa
per for the interesting story,
only to be disappointed, We had
hoped that Mr.. Brunson would,
in his interesting manner, relate
tn the many readers Of the News
and Courier what this railroad
had to look forward to for sup.
port, the character of the coun-
try it now traverses, and the
character Of the country it pro-
poses to go through on it's way
to make connection with the
Seaboard Air Line on the one
end, and the Santee river on the
other, with a good prospect Of
interesting Charleston capital
to stop dreaming of ever getting
the Cincinnati, Hamilton and
Dayton, and take hold of this
home enterprise to help get
across the river and go into
Charleston with a competing
railroad which will do that city
much good by pulling the stop
per that has her bottled up.
The story from Mr.. Brunson's
pen will interest a host of the
News and Courier's readers,
even if it is not relished by some
few in Charleston, interested in
keeping that city out of CONNER
cial touch with the rest of the
State.

luchat, Esq, for plaintiff, Wilson &
DuRant for defendent. Plaintiff non-
suited.
On the verdict of 5000 for the plaintiff
against the railroad company, there is
considerable adverse comment. most
people look upon it as dangerous, and
calculated to encourage a certain
element to make themselves obnoxious
to corporation employees for the pur-
pose of getting struck in order to take
chances of getting a verdict against the
company for damages.

History OF the ''Ftve Minutes" Nell.
There is q history attached to the
tolling of single bell after peal
which is not generally known. Popu-
larly it is described as the five min
utes" bell, and 1t is thought to be
final warning to the people that It they
do not really hurry up at the end they
will be late AS matter Of fact, 1t ,s
a far older history. In earlier days It
was not customary to have sermons so
frequently as is now the case. On spe-
cial occasions an instruction was given
or a sermon was preached, and on
these special occasions the little bell
was tollad after the peal in order that
the faithful might understand that it,
was one of the special occasions on
which the clergy would address their
dooks.-London Globe.
