perfectly happy if I could only have

“Oh, I wish I hadsaid ten.”

Lawyers make grave mistakes while
arguing their cases before the jury
when instead of sticking to the law
and the facts, they pour upon the
‘heads of witnesses, lawyers and par
ties on the opposite side, a tirade of
}ubuse and criticism. The day now is
~when the men who sit in jury boxes
are intelligent and can discriminate
between sound arguments and hom
bast effusions. Legitimate criticism
is"all right, and there are occasions
when it should be used, but person
al abuse and harsh comment should
be sparingly indulged in. It’s a poor
lawyer who can find nothing to speak
about except the witnesses and attor
neys on the other side.— Cartersville

Mg. Grorae S. PrperoN, has pub
lished a book in which he warns the
world of a dire calamity that will fol
low the making of the proposed canal
letting the waters from the Mediter
ranean into the desert of Sahara. He
contends that this will deposit upon
the great desert a weight of water
equal to 176 trillions of tons, taking
it from the seas and oceans all over
the globe; that this will disturb thcl
equilibrium of the earth and produce
a great convulsion, changing its axis
and causing aflood like that of Noah’s
time. He refers to the opinions of
geologists and others that the axis of
the earth has at least once in former
times been changed by variations of
the earth’s equilibrium. and may at a
distant day be changed again by the
slow natural processes ever going on,
but that the proposed overflow of the
Sahara desert would precipitate it by
the work of man.
A MEAN TRICK.
Tom Bently had been paying his
addresses for some time past to one
of the belles of San Antonio. She
had not given him the slightest en
couragement, and he was about to
commit suicide, when she threw him
into a spasm of delight by asking him
if e would do her the favor of giving
her his photograph. He happened
to have one with him, and he begged
her to accept it, saying that it was
the happiest moment of his life, etc.
As soon as he was gone, the young
lady called her servant, and giving
her the photograph, said:
“Whenever anybody comes to the
door who looks like that, tell him I'm
not at home.”—Siftings.
MODERN BUSINESS METHODS.
It must be confessed that the diff
culties of doing a good, square busi
ness in a good, thorough, square
style are becoming greater and hard
er than ever to combat. Honest and
honorable competition has given way
largely to a series of petty shifts to
gain a mean advantage, and the busi
‘ness man who wants to do an honest
‘business has frequently to encounter
‘bold and unscrupulous lying amongi
his rivals. If young in business and
needy, he must solicit favors from
men he despises, and have transac
tions with others whom otherwise
he would scorn to associate with;
that it is a matter of difficulty
to be his plain honest self; but it
seems as if he must go on the Ex
change or into the business world
with a set of actions, pretenses, and
even expressions that does not belong
to him but is assumed for that partic
ular purpose, and all too often the
assumption gradually absorbs other
and better qualities of mind and
heart and becomes his real character.
Is he disposed to sell pure and una
dulterated goods, he finds his rival
taking his trade by an inferior arti
cle, offered at a lower price, but af
firmed to be its equal in every par
ticular ; does he do his work faithful
ly and use the best materials, he
finds himself underbid by a skillful
competitor, who cunningly works inl
inferior material with careless and
cheap labor, and, worst of all, the
buyers will give the cheap bidder,
even when the quality of his goods
and workmanship are suspected, a
readier hearing.
Then what an immense advantage
the squarely dishonest man of to-day
possesses; he who does not mean to
pay, who buys on eredit without cap
ital, and contents himself with a mere
fractional profit, or no profitall, mak
ing a failure, and being considered
rather honorable because he pays 50
cents on the dollar to his creditors ;
creditors who allow him to go on
with his stock of goods in direct com
petition with the honorable! men
on the same street, selling the
self same goods bought of them at
the self-same first price, which they
expect the solvent party to pay in
full for. Does he originate a popu
lar article, a method in business, or
any invention that promises a profit,
let him be prepared for imitators who
boldly claim his ideas as their own,
and others who will dub a worthless
article with the title he has origina
ted, and thereby bring the name into
disrepute.
We know that this keen race to be
rich, in the fierce struggle for the ad
vance in the fight for success, it will
‘be said that every man who enters
the business field must expect the
above to be the rule and not the ex
ception, and the amount of praise
given tosmartrascals, and the knowl
edge that the world’s first question is
not howa man got his money, but
has he got it, would seem to indorse
this conclusion. But in spite of this,
men have proved that it pays to com
bat all these obstacles, which are
principally efforts for a short road to
wealth, and stick to sterling, sturdy,
old fashioned honesty in trade, which
tellsin the long run, notwithstanding
it may takea long runto make it tell.
But there is a large class that will
pay for it, and pay handsomely;
hence, though confidence may be of
small growth, the labor of rightly ac
quiring it proves its value, so that
besides the conscientious satisfaction
enjoyed in the possession, it will be
acknowledged, even as a husiness
move, that “honesty is the best
policy.”— Boston Commercial Bulletin.
AN ANGRY JUDGE.
The late Chief Justice Bigelow, of
Massachusetts, was naturally hot tem
pered, but on one occasion was
brought to his bearings in a way as
effective as it was amusing. Ile was
riding in a car which did not stop at
Quincy, where he resided, and, as it
was passing by, he pulled the rope
and the train was brought to a sud
den stop. The conductor rushed
into the car and demanded, “Who
rang that bell?” “I did,” said the
Chief Justice. “Why?” “Because I
wanted to get off;” at which the rail
road official indulged in some re
marks which were not compliment
ary and hardly respectful. The Judge
atterward complained to the president
of the road, who promised to look
‘into the matter. But he found that,
‘although the conductor might have
) used hot language, the Chief Justice
was not without fault and said noth
-1 ing about it. When they next met,
by chande, the latter demanded of
‘the president whether he had repri
im.andcd the conductor. “I spoke to
him,” was the reply. *“Well, what
Idi«l he say?” “le said that he was
coming up some day to adjourn your
court.” The irate magistrate saw the
point and did not pursue the investi
lgation.
DIVORCED FROM THE WRONG WOMAN
’ In August, 1880, Beecher Stevens,
of Oswego, N. Y., met a handsome
’ young woman on a train near Buffalo.
Both were going to Lockport and
both had taken the wrong train.
They got into conversation, and when
they had returned to Buffalo to get
the right train were matually fasci
nated. When they reached Lock
port Mr. Stevens escorted the young
woman to her home. He carried
away with him a card on which was
written “Lydia F. Davy.” On Oct.
13 following Mr. Stevens was sur
prised to see the young woman enter
his place of business. She cried and
said that her mother had forbidden
her to write to him any more under
pain of dismissal from home. She
had taken the alternative and come
to him. |
~ They were married that evening.
In December, 1881, a quarrel arose
‘between them and she showed her
% husband a certificate of a former mar
riage with George I Davy. It was
dated early in 1880. A separation
followed. The confessed bigamist left
her husband and he has not, he says,
}seon her since. He found, however,
‘that she met her former husband in
this city after she left him, and that
they went from her to Auburn,
where they lived for some time. He
also ascertained that she had still an
other husband before she met Davy,
Charles Burnett, of Ithaca, to whom
she was married in that village, in
1878. Her maiden name, he found,
was Lydia Fanny Creque. She was
twenty-six years old. With this evi
dence Stevens sued for a divorce,
which was granted a week ago.
During his hunt for evidence
against her Steven traced his wife, it
is said, to a house in Auburn; that
the papers in the divorce case were
served on her. She said she was not
the person named in the papers, after
she had read them, and acting on the ‘
advice of friends paid no attention to
the matter. She is now out with a
statement that she cannot be the
woman. She is only nineteen years
old, while the yoman who was Stev
en’s wife is twenty-six. She was
married in Ithaca, but to Charles
Brown and not to Charles Burnett.
A cousin of Mrs. Stevens was
shown a picture of Nina Brown,
while testifying at the trial of the
divorce case, swore that it was a pic
ture of the woman who was married
to Stevens. An uncle of Stevens’
wife would not be positive that the
picture was of his neice, but Stevens
‘himself swore that it was a photo
graph of the woman he had married.
On this testimony the divorce was
granted.
Now, however, it has been proved
beyond any doubt that Nina Brown
is not Mrs. Stevens and never was
Mrs. Davy, Mrs. Burnett or Lida
Fanny Creque, and Beecher Stevens
has been divorced from the wrong
woman.
A WONDERFUL FOUNTAIN OF FIRE.
(Chicago Herald.)
At Thone creek near Oil City, is a
wonderful fountain offire. A well
throwing out 25,000 barrels of oil dai
ly is burning and every gallon of this
oil is consumed in the fire. So great
is the force with which the oil leaves
the well that the flame can not get
nearer than ten feet from the ground.
From the mouth of the well to the
point where the flame begins the
amber-colored fluids forms a solid
straight column,six inches in diame
ter, and shining like burnished gold.
At the height of 100 feet the column is
probably not over five feet in diame
ter, but at 200 feet it spreaps out into
a cloud of overhanging flame, from
which fiery streams extend earthward
like the drooping branches from a wil
low. The effectis indescribably grand.
Several unsuccessful attempts have
been made to extinguish the flames.

A GIRL WITH TWO TONGUES.
A strange freak of nature has just
been discovered in Cleveland, Ohio.
Frederick Grunwaid, a Swiss, resides
at No. 535 St. Clair street with his
wife and two children. Albertina, the
youngest, 2 years old, has two ton
gues. The second tongue has grown
from the root and on top of the first.
The mother first noticed it when the
child was 3 days old. The second
tongue was then quite small, !t now
it is nearly as large as the real ton
gue. 'The anterior part of the upper
tongue looks natural, but the poste
rior part is constricted and round,
giving the unnatural growth a pear
shape. 'The child has never experi
enced any difficulty in swallowing its
food or in breathing, looks natural
in every other why, and has always
been healthy. The family has been
in America two and a half years, and
in this city three weeks.

: A MONEY MAKING WOMAN.
' The failure of John J. Cisco & Son,
! New York bankers, has again brought
| prominently before the public Mrs,
]E. H. Green, who is reported to be
'the richest woman in America. It
' was the determination of Mrs. Green
't withdraw a portion of the very
large amount that she had on depos
it in the Cisco Bank that caused it to
suspend. She is the largest ereditor
of the bank, and while she may lose
a few thousand dollars of her depos
its, her securities, amounting to $206,-
000,000, which were in the bank
vault, are safe.
Mrs. Green is a marvelously shrewd
financier. She manages her own af
fairs, and thus far has managed them
suceessfully, There are very few
men in Wall street who are as well
wequainted with the value of the dif
terent kinds of securities dealt in
there as she is. She is credited with
having engineered more than one
corner in stocks, and to have gotten
the better on many occasions of the
ablest of the Wall street chaps.
She is the daughter of a New Bed
ford whaler named Johnson, who
died a few years ago, leaving her
about $5,000,000. That sum would
seem to be sufficient to satisfy the de
sires of any woman, but it did not, it
scoms, satisfy Mrs. Green. She be
g atoncee to speculate, and, through
either Ler luck or shrewdness, accu
mulated money rapidly. Those who
know the most of her financial trans
actions say that she was never known
to make a mistase in her business
affairs. She could not have made
many mistakes of a serious character.
If she had she could not have accu
mulated the vast fortune of which
she is now mistress.
She is credited with being very
penurious. As an instance of this
characteristic, it is stated that on one
occasion she alighted in front of the
Cisco banking house from a publie
conveyance, with a great bundle in
her arms, and entered the bank. The
bundle proved to be $200,000 worth
of securities. The banker, Cisco,
asked why she did not take a private
carriage instaed of trusting herself
with so mary valuable sccurities in
an omnibus. She replied that Mr.
Cisco might be able to afford a carri
age, but that she was not.
Her thrift is apparent in every way
that it is possible for it to show itself.
In her home life she is very cconom
ical. She doesn’t seek to have the
best of everything. It issaid that
she has been known to walk to a so
cial gathering when the streets were
hardly fit for a woman to be abroad,
rather than to pay for a carriage. 1t
is related that on one occasion when
there was a contest between two fac
tions for the control of a great rail
road property in which she had a
large amount of stock, instead of vo
ting her shares at the election for of
ficers, she sold her proxies to one of
‘the parties. Of course she had a
} right to do this, but the incident
1 nevertheless, shows, if true, that she
‘never lets an opportunity pass to turn
an honest penny.
What does this woman intend to do
with her vast wealth? It may be
that she has never given this ques
tion serious consideration. Her pleas-,
ure is to make money, not to spend
it. Those to whom she leaves it will
take pleasure probably in spending
it.
INTENSIVE FARMING, ;
Brunswick Herald,
The tendency in Georgia, at least
in many places, is to intensive cul
ture—that is, to make as much as -
possible off of each acre. It requires
no arithmetic to prove that a man
who produces on twenty acres thirty
bales of cotton realizes nearly double
as much as he who produces thirty
bales from eighty acres. D, W. Per
due bore off a prize for the largest
yield of cotton fertilized with cotton
seced. His yield was 4,545 pounds ot
lint cotton to the icre and 3,000
pounds of cotton =eed. He claims
that his system of fertilizing has paid
him 100 per cent. on every dollar ex
pended. Here are Mr. Perdue’s fig
ures as to cost of the prize cotton:
Cost of cultivating an acre of
ground, $15.40; fertilizing, $12.50;
picking, $13.90; ginuning $6.18; total
cost per acre of raising the crop, $47.-
08. Sold 1,546 pounds of lint cotton
at 9 cents per pound, $139.05, 8,000
pounds of cotton seed, $18.20; total,
$158.25. Net profit per acre, deduc
ting all expenses, $110.27. '
The intensive system of farming
has long been in practice in China.
There the land is owned hy the Em
peror, and is rented by the people,
The population is so dense that every
acre has to support a large number
of people, and a man is considered
rich wgo ‘has as‘much as six ‘acres of"
land to cultivate. Nothing is put in
the ground without abundant ffertili-.
