What He Saw and Heard In a Trip Through East Alabama. Taking In the Commenreiurnt Kxerrluro or the Da4eellle Seleet High Krhonl—I’leaned With the Manner In Which the 1*ii|iIIh triinll Them- nelreH, Kte. Special Correspondence EnqulrerJSun. DadkvilLK, Ala., July 111, 1886.— In the varied round of | a drummer’s peregrinations many attractions of the country rivet his attention and prolong his sojourn. Dadeville has recently afford ed a grand occasion for my detention. East Alabama may justly glow with pride at the growing educationalinterests devel oping among her people. Aside from the unusual comforts and daintiest repasts af forded by the Ridgeway House, the annual commencement of the select high school has contributed much to our enjoyment on the 4th, 5th and 6th inst. The sabbath, the Fourth of July, of ante-bellum glory, , brought much delight to an intelligent and estimable audience in the sermon of Dr. Coleman, of the M. E. church. Replete with gems of thought, scriptural truths, philo sophical principles and logical strength, even the most fastidious hearer could not fail to be interested. The gray hairs, mod est but earnest tones of the orator added a lustre of grace as immortal truths evolved from his lips like “silvery coins,” every ' intonation illustrating “thoughts that breathe and words that burn.” The grand anthems by the school choir, Misses Bulger and Smith lending sopranos, Professor Baggett organist, and Mr. Payne with rich bass tones, was n credit to the •city and a pleasure to the occasion. An appropriate and peculiarly interest ing service of national music and orations followed the sermon. Our patriotism thrilled as the silvery voice of Baggett, read in clarion tones the “Declaration of i > Independence.” This young lawyer of j such varied and rare accomplishments, j heightened by such a cultured brow, is I destined to fill no ordinary sphere in life, j When the organ responded m deep tones ! to his magic touch, as his lips breathed ail inspiring tenor, 1 could but exclaim, “thou child of song,” too, doomed to a brilliant ' future in society, church, and state. The profuse national decorations attest ed the correct taste of the principal and her cognizance of what is needed to ini- 1 press the public that there is life in tlie old laud yet, and flint n pride of •'country should be instilled in I the minds of school boys and girls. ! Monday evening found us enlisting with ■ the busy throng to enjoy the usual pro- I gramme of this institution, whose com- • mencements have been annual festivity to the country and attended by visitors from a great distance, who delight in a school that keeps apace with all tile modern edu cational improvements. ’ CALISTHENICS, that most graceful of aris, 1h a striking ; feature of the exercises, perfect in rendi tion and manipulated with suitable adap tation to both boys anil girls. The infantry drill by the little “lots,” j who handled their dolls as if by magic, j thrilled ns with “Rock Me to Steep, Moth- 1 er,” when they broke our reverie with 1 “Rock-a-by, Baby,” so familiar to the j nursery. With strains of sweetness they I lulled the seeming little ones to sleep mill maternal caresses. The celebrated farce, “THE HUSH LINEN PEDDLER,” was rendered with such brilliance as would doacredit to regular theatricals drilled by artistic professionals. The varied talent of Mr. Baggett w as again on hand to the de light of an attentive audience, eager for his part of the role. While every char acter was well sustained, Mias Rosa Smith eclipsed by her native tact and fine style the best amateurs of the stage. Baggett’s slater vies with him in perceptions of the ludicrous and facial expression of thought. The entire programme was exquisite in selection and rendiiton, as was attested by the eagerness of the audience for its con tinuance, despite the wee small hours that claimed us. Although wearied with a jaunt of ten miles to tne country, the drummer’s dread ed inevitable, still we tind ourselves mus tered with the eager throng in a hurry for a chance at a sent in the spacious hall on Tuesday night. The tardiness of opening up the exercises almost discouraged a tired stranger and the impatient audience, but our restlessness was relieved when the drawn curtain disclosed the happiest of schools regaling themselves on actual teetering boards, while discoursing tire an imating song, “See Saw.” Fun and frolic ruled supreme and all was wild with mer riment. THE OLD FAIRY drama was rendered, full of exquisite style and expression by every character. Also the drama of “Bolts and Burs much de lighted the enthusiastic audience. Great ness awaits the talented boys and girls who honor this school and we envy the faithful teacher to whose charge is submitted such rare intellectual jewels. The music was un usually grand on this evening. The deep toned lays, the unparalleled tenor, the tine soprano by Miss Bulger, all conspired to draw us in fancy to mime on angel choirs. The vocal duet by Miss Ida Smith and Prof. Baggett, as also a vocal solo by the former, bespoke the highest vocal culture and won rounds of rapturous applause. Every phase of the programme, even the imitative genius who personated the mod ern dude of the style of Oscar Wilde, was i replete with a finish. We were authori- I tatively told that the literary work of the school was finished up equally with the ! commencement exercises, thus rendering! it an enviable school whose principal, j Mrs. Baggett, has done more than any of her predecessors, in laying a fouddation for j educational brilliance in east Alabama. I This school is situated in the most at- I tractive part of the slate, - noted for salu-I lirity of climate, mineral waters, cheapness of living, and surrounded by n country of remarkable fertility, vast mineral wealth and varied resources. The wide-awake eiti- , zens being progressive, will continue this j great work till victory will exult in draw ing in a full tide of migration to rejoice in its sunlight of prosperity and splendor. Dong live such a school! Camonicus. i A San Erimrlsro Tailor’s Trick. Correspondence Sacramento Bee. There is a story floating around the | clubs at the expense of young Mr. James j ——, but 1 will not give his name, though ; his individuality may lie easily surmised from the nature of the incident. This youth, whose father is among the million aires, lounged into a tailor shop some Weeks ago and ordered a suit of clothes. i The suit was sent to the young man’s hotel, but of course the tailor got no money tor it. A few days ago as Master James was passing by the tailor shop, the bland pro- I prietor hailed him with a smile : “Why. Master James.” he said, “that , coat is horribly wrinkled; come in and we Will press it for you.” Unsuspectingly lie entered and surrendered the coat. Then something was tvrong with the vest, and that too was taken down stairs for treat- i . ment. The tailor next declared that the | ' trousers might bo improved upon. They I were given up and the youth aeeommo- i dated with a seat in the dressing-room. “Now,” said the wily tailor, “you will have to send a messenger boy to your room for your other clothes, for l am afraid we Can not let you have this suit again unless you liquidate the bill in full.” Young Master James begged l strd for his clothes, but the tailor was inexorable, and much to his disgust he resumed his winter garments, and departed with a crestfallen ah'. European governments. A federation is a government in which the central authori ty is supreme In all international affairs, but limited in internal administration, at our own government is. A federation mat be either a monarchy or a republic. Of the federations of Europe Switzerland is a republic, Germany is an empire, and Swe den-Norway and Austria-Hungary are what nre called bipartite states, having the same monarchy but governed by separate constitutions and legislatures. The other European governments all belong to the class that modern political his torians call unified state-) that is, states in which the central government is re sponsible for the administration of public affairs in all parts of the country. It is true that in some of the constitutional governments, as England and France, local affairs are left largely to local authorities, but this does not lessen the responsibility of the central government, which is em powered to overrule any local body at any time in behalf of what it may regard as the public good. Of the united states in Europe, ten are constitutional monarchies —Great Brittain, Belgium. Portugal. Spain, the Netherlands, Denmark, Italy, Greece, Scrvia, and Roumania; two arc despot isms, Rusia and Montenegro; three are re- S ublics, France and the tiny states of San iarino and Andorra, and two are tributa ry states, Bulgaria and Eastern Roumelia. TELEPHONE TALK. A Joilse Drrlilr* that Talk Over the Wires Is Ad missible as Kvldrnre. Judge Barclay rendered an opinion yes terday on a novel point which grows out of the innovations made in commercial life by modern scientific achievments. He holds that the courts must keep up with the procession in this matter, and in the case of the Globe Printing Company vs. Stahl, on a motion for a new trial, he says; “This case directly presents the question of the admissibility in evidence ofeertain business conversations through the tele phone. “The courts of just ice cannot, and do not desire to ignore the great changes in modes of inter-communication which the intro duction of the telegraph and telephone have accomplished. It is certainly the duty of courts to take judicial notice of such facts of general scientific knowledge as are part of public contemporary history. [78 Mo., 318.J The nature, operation and or dinary uses of the telephone are such facts and the courts should accordingly take such notice of them. When a person places himself in connection with the telephone system by having a telephone in his busi ness office, he thereby invites communica tion in relation to his business through that medium. Such conversations, so held, are as admissible as personal conversations by a business customer with an unknown clerk in charge of an ordering business office would be. The fact that the voice at defendant's telephone was not identified as that of defendant or any of his clerks does not render the communication .inad missible. “The ruling here announced is intended to relate merely to tlie question evf admis sibility in evidence of such conversations in such circumstances, but not to deter mine the effect of such evidence after it is admitted, it may be entitled, in each in stance, to much or little weight in the estimation of the triers of facts, according to the view taken by them of it and of the other testimony In support, or in denial or contradiction thereof. “After some deliberation, therefore, the court is of opinion that the ruling made on this question at. the t rial was correct, and accordingly the motion for a new trial is overruled.” Forms of European (lovernmeuts. There are four federations among the Tlielierm of lljnlrophohla. The search for the germ of hydrophobia or rabies, as it should more properly be termed, has up to a very recent date been unsuccessful. The London Lancet an nounces that Dr. Dowdeswell claims to have found it in the central canal of the spinal cord and in tho medulla oblongata. He has also found it in other parts of the brain and cord, but not in such abundance. He describes it as a micrococcus, anil ac counts for the failure of others to find it by the fact that the hitherto known methods of staining will not affect it. Venous, IMillitateil Men.

Atlanta—Wore I to practice deception in a case like this, I would think that my heart had bccomee seared beyond recognition. To be guilty of bearing false testimony, thereby imperiling the lives of my fellow-men. would place me beneath the dignity of a gentleman. The fluffs which I disclose are endorsed and vouched for by the community in which I live, and I trust they may exert the influence in tended. For twenty long years I have suffered untold tortures from a terrible pain and weakness in the small of my back, which resisted all modes and manner of treatment. For u long time the horrifying pangs of an eat ing cancer of ray lower lip has added to my mis ery and suffering. This encroaching, burning and painfril sore on my lip was pronounced Epi thelial Cancer by the prominent physicians in his section, which stubbornly resisted the best medical talent. About eighteen months ago a cutting, piercing pain located in my breast, which could not be allayed by the ordinary modes of treatment. These sufferings of misery and prostration l>e came so great that, on the 18th of last July, a leading physician said that I could not live long er than four days, and 1 had about given up in despair. The burning and excruciating ravages of the cancer, the painfril condition of my back and breast, and the rapid prostration of my whole system combined to make me a mere wreck of former manhood While thus seemingly suspended on a thread between life and death. 1 commenced the use of I B. B. B., the grandest blood medicine to me and : my household, ever used. I The effect was wonderfril—it was magical. The j excruciating pains which had tormented me by j day and by night for twenty years were soon I held in abeyance, and peace and comfort were restored to a suffering man, the cancer com menced healing, strength was imparted to my feeble frame, and when eight bottles had been Used I was one of the happiest of men, and felt about as well as I ever did. j All pain had vanished, the cancer on my lip j healed, and I was pronounced cured. To those ' who are afflicted, ami need a blood remedy, I urge the use of B. B. B. as a wonderfully effective, ! speedy and cheap blood purifier. Allen Grant. Sparta.
