into camp and, approaching the
colonel, asked if he was the COM

THE POOH CURATE.

Bishops of the State church of
England are officers of the law
appointed by the crown. Each
bishop is presumed to make a
yearly visitation to every parish
in his diocese. He is addressed
by everybody as My Lord. y
One certain bishop visited a
country parish in the year blank,
and whilst he slipped the wears
port after the wears excellent
dinner in the picturesque vicar
age, the poor curate all curateS
are poor vcntured in to pay
his respects.
How are you:" the bishop
condescended to loftily ask.
Il am very well, my lord, |
thank your lordship, y the curate
made humble answer.
And how is your wife,"
She is dead, my lord, | thank
your lordship.'
"Ah?"
Yes, my lord.
The curate bowed himself out
backwards, and was forgotten.
A year later the bishop sat again
in the country vicarage, and
again the curate vcntured to pay
his respects.
How are you?' asked the
bishop.
Il am very well, my lord,
thank your lordship.'
How is your wife,
She is still dead, my lord!"

\ SEN ATORIAI. OPINION.

Not long ago was talking
with II. II. Hit, of Illinois,
chairman of the Committee on
Foreign Relations, about Thos.
Hart Benton, whereupon he told
me this anecdote of Benton'S
most masterful antagonist, Sena-
tor James Stephen Green.
Senator Green" said Mr..
Hit, was not only a man of
splendid genius, but also of
charming manner. He boarded
at the National hotel, where he
was popular with men and
women. The latter found out
that the senator was not much of
a church gocr and insisted that
he should mend his ways in that
regard. One Sunday he was late
for dinner. The women asked
why.
Il have been attending divine
worship" replied thI senator
gravely.'

northern people that nothing
but Indifferent grade ofcattle can
be raised in the south, because
many cattle shippers from the
north have seen SO many native
cattle from the south in the
stock yards in Kansas City, St
Joe or St. LOUIS, and they think
no other cattle can be raised in
the south Men who have never
seen any of the southern states,
and who have seen some of the
native stock Of Alabama, will
turn up their noses with a con
temptuous sneer, if they do not
openly scotl at the possibility of
raising anything but vegetable,
or possibly, to put it a little
more politely, luxurious in its

time. and warn the people to
keep away from the south. 1t
is true that in some sections
where It is too hot and the flies
or the VenomOus serpents are so
bad that cattle raising don't
pay. But the country along
the Mobile, Pensacola or Per

pests. This section is free from
diseases among domestic ami

interfere very materially with
the figures on the profit side Of
the ledger.
Th ere are several essentials
TO the profitable rearing Of live
stock. These may be summed
upin paSturage, water, produC-
tion of feed crops for winter
feeding and fattening, and eli.
mate conditions. With such
freedom from insects and favor
able climatic conditions, if feeds
can be produced of such char
acter as to give satisfactory
results in finishing the adult

such feeds can be produced at
Il minimum of expense, has been
demonstrated time and again by
the experiment stations of Ala

lence and abundance of water
possesses advantage over other
sections in the way of keeping
live stock. People may ask
If what you say about grasses

do not the native cattle grow
larger?' The answer is not far

A small church was sadly in
want of general repairs, and a
meeting was being held to raise
funds for that purpose.
The minister having said that
to do the work $500 would be re-
quired, very wealthy (and
equally Stingy) member of the
congregation rose and said he
would give one dollar. Just as
he sat down a lump of plaster
fell from the ceiling and hit him
upon the head whereupon he
rose hastily and called out that
he had made mistake he would
give fifty dollars. That was too
much for an enthusiast present
who, forgetful of everything,
called out fervently; 20 Lord,
hit him AGAIN.
