GREAT FEATs OF MEMORY.
London Youth of Long Ago Remem-
pered All He Had Read.

pered All He Had Read.
The London Times recently pub
lished an extract from its columns OF
a century ago in which were related
the remarkable feats of memory per-
formed by T. p Oldfeld. who died at
Grotto house, Margate, in the six
teenth year of his age. The extract
reads:
AT the age of five and one-half
years he mad scarlet fever, which
brought on him paralysis of the lower
extremities and debilitated his body
for the rest of his life, but his mind
presented the finest display of human
perfection.
Whatever he read ne instantly had
by heart; his favorite pursuits were
the mathematics. philosophy, astron-
omy, geography, history and painting,
In all of which he made a great pro-
ficiency. His favorite authors were
Locke and Newton, and his retentive
faculties were so strong that he never
had been once acquainted.
He could relate every circumstance
OF Grecian, Roman and English his
tory; was master of astronomy and
had pursued it up to all its recent
discoveries; had the finest taste for
drawing and painting and would fire.
quently take admirable likenesses of
persons who struck him from memory.
He wrote hand like copper plate and
"a very early period in life had made
himself master of arithmetic.
He was never known to be out Of
temper, and though he suffered an
illness of ten years, which terminated
in dropsy and bursting of blood
vessel upon the lungs, he was never
once known to repine or be impa-
tient. His wit was brilliant and re-
fined and his loss will ever be regret
ted by those who had the happiness to
know him.

New Fish and Game Law.


The general provisions Of the
new fish and game law, which was
signed by the governor last Mon
day are about the same as the old
law, however provides that you can
fish with hook and line attached
to pole or held in the hand atany
time OF the year" Persons who
wish to fish or hunt must procure
n license, the same as heretofore,
and while it is now lawful to fish
with a hook and line, it will prob
ably be month before the deputy
game wardens and justices of the
peace are supplied with licenses.
If you wish to go fishing in the
meantime, notify the justice of the
peace IN your precinct, or the dep
uty warden of your intention and
make application for a license to
be issued to you as soon as they
are received. For the benefit of
those who love to fish we give the
section of the law in full on that
point which is as follows:

ance; Provided, however, that it |

grayling and sunfish with the hook |
and line attached to the pole or

full for any person or persons to sell
or offer for sale any specie of fish
protected by this act, at any time
of the year.

son to catch more than twenty
pounds of trout, bass, catfish, gray
ling or sunfsh in any one day, or
to have IN their possession more
than thirty pounds at any one
time.

Property Changes Hands

Engineer ]. NJ. Mcmillan has bought
the Judge Gooch homestead property
on Magnolia street, the consideration
being $1,000. This is considered one of
the most beautiful lots in Palestine,
and the home, though not modern in
architecture, is one of the prettiest on
this street of pretty homes. Mr.. Nc
MILAN said to Herald man that the
investment was purely personal one,
despite reports that he had made the
purchase for a certain church of the
city. He says he bought merely as a
speculation, as he already owns very
valuable home on this street.

THE INTEREST
is INCREASING
Baptist Revival Is Being Largely
Attended-Rev. Little Doing
Some Good Singing.

The meeting at the tabernacle is
still in progress. We are very much
encouraged with the interest being
taken, but are expecting it to deepen
from day to day. There has been no
limit put upon the meeting as yet,
but while this is true let Us remember
that time is flying, and let us work
while it is called today.
The time of meeting for the day SER
vice has been changed, on account of
the heat, from As p. m. to $780, 1890
a. m. This gives us the cool morning
breezes in which to attend the SER
vices.
The ladies are holding prayer SER
vices at various and convenient houses
over the town every evening at 5
O'Clock.
A prayermeeting for the business
men of the city is to be held at the Y.
M. q. A. building this evening at 5
O'Clock. 1t is very much desired that
all these prayer services are well at
tended, as then we are sure the
preaching services will not want for
audience and interest.
The sermon of last night was from
the text GAS Moses lifted up the SER
pent in the wilderness, even so must
the son of man be lifted up, that who
soever believeth in Him should not
perish, but have everlasting life."
The sermon of this morning was a
good one, and had Its effect.
Brother Little is doing some good
singing, and hopes to still do better as
his throat improves. He is sweet
gospel singer, and does not use fancy
music, but that which is simple and
suitable for revival work. Come and
hear him. REPORTER.

JUDGE BROWN WOULD SETTLE.

-
Invited Guest Had No Use for the Bill
of Fare.
Judge Brown, whose boyhood home
was in a small New England village,
had the reputation of being a very
k1nd-hearted man. He was always
glad to see his old friends, no matter
how rustic they might seem.
On one occasion the judge had some
legal business in the capital Of his
native state, and there met an cid
farmer from his birthplace, who was
taking an unwonted holiday and
looked rather bewildered. The Judge
invited the old man to dine with him
at the hotel.
When the farmer took his heat at
the table one of the walters laid a
bill Of fare before him. The old man
looked at it, and then facing round
to look the waiter squarely in the
face, he said, in a tone than rang
through the dining room: mo need
to gimme that, young Teller. Judge
Brown cal'lates to settle my bill. He
came from our town, an I know his
ways"
