A New York birdologist and North Carolina one arc hayirg controversy over robins. The North Carolina man declares that robin never runs but always hop with both feet at once and in the same direction. The New York CT intimates that the other knows nctiing of robins and asserts that these birds are runners. not hoppers. As both claim to be acquainted with robins why is it that they differ so widely, and who shall decideg As a general thing birds that have their homes in the trees usually progress by hopping when on the earth. while those that live or srend most of their time on the ground always walk. Still there may be exceptions, and we woald not like 60 take either side in the robin controversy with positivity.

 II is true they were not after the negro, but were trying to kill the white man when they assassinated the negro. but that makes their crime none the less heinous and they should have been made to pay the penalty of their crime according to the old Biblical law, An eye for an eye" life for life. That negros life was just as sweet to him as the lives Of the two rufians were to them. and while we commend the Bibb jury for sentencing them to the penitentiaTv for life a death sentence would have been better.

THE LOST EXPLORER.

It lacks but aNfew weeks of being nine years since explorer Andree set out on one of the most uncertain aud dangerous voyages that any man ever Rentured on, at least in modern days, Many explorers have set forth on voy- ages of discovery involving great risks and uncertainties, but their ventures have been on the known elements of land or water. where at least some calculations could be made as to what might be expected or encountered on the way. That some of these adven- furers were never again heard of is natural. for there are many dangers on both land and sea, and those who venture into unknown regions do not always return.
 Andree's project was hazardous in it's very inception. To start out in ball. loon to reach the North Pole was such q venture as one can hardly conceive a sane man attempting. He was starting to reach a point of which none knew anything, of whose location he and all others were ignorant, and of which 1t WAS impossible to get information. Where the Pole Is, what are the con- ditions existing around it. and what hope there would be of returning in | the event that he reached it, were all matters of which no human being knew or could know anything whatever He had studied the matter from afar and 5ndulged the hope. if not the belief. |. would carry him over the coveted spot and then bring him back to civiliza- kion.
 That his hopes were groundless seems How to be beyond doubt. True, we know no more of his fate than he knew of what was before him when he cut himself loose from humanity We do not even know that he perished, and for anything we certainly know he may now be living in some unknown region. more utterly hopeless outcast than Robinson Crusoe was. for he was not entirely out of the reach of hu- manity and had reason to hope that some day a ship would come along and rescue him. Andree, if yet living. can hardly indulge in such dreams. If liv- tng he is probably marooned in some region where human beings never go and from which escape by human means can never he effected.
 And yet if he should come back to ahe living world, what wonderful story he might tell. Jules verne's most thrilling romances might be tame compared with what Andree could tell if he should return rlive to let the world know where he has been and what he has seen. And it is not actu- ally impossible that at least his fate may some day be made known beyond doubt Sir John Franklin was lost to the world some twelve years before his fate was certainly known. and 1t may be within the range of possibility that at some future day the fate of Andree will be learned, and though 1t may be too late for him 1t will be re- lief and satisfaction to have the mys- tery. surrounding him cleared up

Hanceville Hustler.
 Susan B. Anthony is dead. She was an untiring worker for women. While she was the object of iibe and jest from self -conceited men everywhere, the purity of her motives, the tender ness and Ioveliness she exhibited and her devotion to the great cause of the rights of women have compelled men alike with women to respect and ad- mire her. The fact that she sought po- litical power for women, not for the sake of political power, but in order to battle for great reforms on social and economic lines. is everywhere ac- cepted She was a great woman and a great philanthropist.

PromotiOna in the Army.

 A careful, Intelligent and just sys- tenn of promotion is necessary if the tained at a high standard. This is the puzzle which military authorities have set themselves to solve, and it a per iorty is a mistake that has been too often demonstrated; promotion by se- lection is largely open to that per. sonaI and political faYoritism which has been Apparent in recent years. All experience proves that an efficient army depends upon efficient officers. It u urged therefore, that in the inn provement of our military establish Rent promotion must depend not upon seniority or personal favor but upon efficiency.
