Hia coming has been noised around, arul all were on the tiptoe us expectancy to see him. As he alighted from the train I shook hands with him and on entering the portico he was surrounded with a bevy of lteauties, all anxious to be presen ted. "Oh, Senator Ingall,” they cho rused In a breath, "how could you say such horrid things about the South?" "I knew not what I did,” wan hts ready response; "forgive me and I’ll go in pence and sin no more. I promise you." During his tirief stay the "lrri gefcont dreame.r" as wo termed him,so gdften and genial, became quit*- the toast. There was but one event that occur red to mar the pleasure of the com pany and cast a blemish upon the fail picture, and that was the inexpres sibly sad death of Mary Toombs Har deman. of Washington, Ga.

It gath ered rapidly and aoon assumed th* pro portions of a cloud with a dark, omi nous looking center and silvered edge*. Then there waa a flash of lightning, snd the nimbus was Illuminated with rows colored flames, then followed « low. muttering sound of thunder and far down below they rotild see It raining, while up where they sat the aun shone brightly in dear sky of tendered blue. Presently the great chasm filled with seething mlat. which, mounting higher j and higher, overlapped the cliff* and obscured the sun,and the growing dark m-s* admonished the judge and hi# fair companion to seek shelter from the ap proaching storm uner the frt-ndly pro tection of tiunaet Rock. They had scarcely reached It Iwfore the rain cam* down In driving sheet*, the moun tain riba became caging torrent* and th* electrical display waa Inceaaant and | aubllme. while p«al after peal of thun- j der rent the air and shook the earth, making old Lookout tremble on hla base. The rloud then lifted, and Ihc rain ceased as suddenly aa It began. The sun sent a shaft of light through a rift,and the severing cloud dissolved Instantaneously Into floating flakes that, as they chased each other across the valley, printing their changing forma In patches of light and shadow on the vivid green,produced effects sim ilar to the finest kaleidoscopic creations. A glorious rainbow set Itself In the high arched and vaulted heavena and span ned the upper valley in triumphant and magical splendor, the last rays of the netting sun tinged the rim of the Blue Itidge with molten gold, and the ashes of roses sifted down to earth. Turning from the gorgeous spectacle, the Judge's eyes rested tenderly upon her wealth of auburn tresses, now showing their Titian tints in the young twilight, and he bent over and w-hls pered something that brought the roses to her cheek, and her great brown eyes drooped low beneath their silken fringe. The prety ferns may have curled their feathery fronds to catch the answer, so softly It came, I can’t say. But one thing certain, the overcurious dames at the Inn who displayed such anxiety to And out whom her choice would be had to wait « couple of months, when it was announced in a little town In the bermuda belt of Georgia that the Judge was the winner. They aro living now In an elegant home on the swell street of a Southern city. Within a stone’s throw, on the same street, are his two competitors; the mid dle-aged gentleman married a beautiful telle from the eastern portion of the state, while (be young fellow captured one of the greatest heiresses in the state, and, Withal, a most attractive, accomplished and beautiful young wo man. f’endennls.

We are told that they are also to be found In the northwest of Africa. Witch doctors, or medicine men, of course, abound all over the continent. Kagube was well known as a magician in Ma sbonaland; Mllrno, In Matabolelund un so had the same attribute*; powers of ventriloquism and foresight considera bly sustained this reputation. Witch es also have great power over the wo men. Hut even those solitary wizards and witches require suppression.
