Comet After Negroes, bic SAYS.

Louisiana and Mississippi negroes are
terribly wrought up over the approach OF
Halley'S comet.
Colored preachers are holding protract-
ed meetings throughout the black belts
which will continue uninterrupted until
after May IS, when the comets supposed
TO reach its zenith OF power.
At GueYden a negro revival is in prog
reSs, at which the preacher last night de-
clared "a big basket will descend upon
the earth May IS from the tail ofthe COM
ct, take up all the good negroes to Heay-
en- and leave the bad ones on earth TO
burn. As result terror reignS among
many of the blacks in the Gueydan sec
ton. Prayer meetings are being held
day and night
At Hammond, where another revival
is in progress, the preacher declared that
the cold snap that has nipped the large
truck farms in that locality is due TO the
tail OF the comet getting between the earth
and the sun, thus extingushiDg the heat.
At other points in the cotton and sugar
belts the negroes keep vigil all night,
praying that they may be spared from the
coming OF the comet.

One WAY of Looking At II.

Lem Johnson loved to loaf. He livediin
the mountains not far from Greenvllle,
Tenn, with his wife and large brood OF
children. Lem had "houn' dawg' that
he set great store by, and he spent most
of his time lounging in a runway waiting
to shoot deer driven in by old Bose or
sprawling on the bank of stream fishing.
In that way he was good provider after
a fashion, but not all the urging, scolding,
nagging and broomsticking OF his shrew-
ish wife could drive him to work.
Lem led the lazy life of Rip Van Win
kle until the outbreak of the Civil War,
and then he surprised everybody by JOIN
ing the Confederate army, for most OF the
mountaineerS fought for the Union. AT
the end OF six months Lem was shot
through the right thigh, and it was long
before he was able to limp out OF hos
pital and back to his regiment. In the
second year he was Shotin the LETT Shoul-
der, and when he returned to duty his LETT
hand was bent far back by the shortened
tendon; but he was still able to raise his
rifle. Early in the fourth year they got
him again-a muSket ball through the
body-but he was back in the ranks long
before the fighting was ended. Every
one wondered at LENS persistence IN
sticking TO the terrible trade of war.
DR.. Girdner met Lem hobbling down
the street in Greenville one morning in
June, '65, still pale and weak from his
latest wound, his rightleg short and wob-
bly,, his left hand stiffy bent back.
"Glad to see you alive, Lem" said the
Doctor, 81 suppose you're glad TO be
home again ?"
"Waal," Lem admitted, without enthu-
siaSm, 81 s'poSe | had to git erlong home
Gin'r'l Lee he surrindered us down to
Appomottix an we all had to go ihome." ."
"But aren't you glad to be away from
the dangers of WARP"
"Why, Doc, war h'ain't so bad" cried
honest Lem. "War h'aint so bad.
There's lots O. days when you don't have
nothin' TO do"

Some Day.

Won't there be beautiful dreams some day.
When roses are red on lips OF May
Won't there be beautiful songs some time,
When love goes by on the feet OF rhyme,
And laughter dances. on light soft wing
Along the velvety valleys OF spring
Won't there be beautiful lives some day.
When care and trouble have passed away.
And youth comes up, as she used to do.
With eyes as blue as the skies are blue,
And heart so merry her every word
Is sweet with music OF woodland bird
Won't there be beautiful days some day
When fairies come back to the world TO stay,
And over the meadows with them we 60
To lands where lilies Of magic grow,
And peace and beauty and kindness wend
Hand in hand TO the rainbow's end

Mrs. Fairbanks a Horticulturist.

Mrs. Charles w. Fairbanks is an
enthusiastic horticultural and is rec
ognized as one of the leading authori-
ties in the country on the varieties
and the growing of bulbs. Many con-
servatories in New York, as we'll as
In Washington and indianapolis, her
home city, are the richer for her gifts.
Many of the bulbs she has distrib-
uted among her friends add to the
natural beauty of their bloom the in
terest of historic associations. The
narcissi that grow in the Campo San
to, in Pisa, the cemetery soil of which
was brought into Italy from the Holy
Land, are famous among flower grow
ers all over the world, and several of
Mrs. Fairbanks friends have been
delighted recently by presents of a
few of these precious roots which
Mrs. Fairbanks had imported for her
own hothouses. A few fine varieties
of cyclamen, hitherto unknown in
America, also have come into Mrs.
Fairbanks possession in the last few
weeks, and her friends are waiting
hungrily for cuttings of these.-New
