A Boston man had to pay his rail
road fare twice to the conductor. The
conductor subsequently discovering
his mistake, returned him the fare,
but the Boston man refused to settle
unless the conductor paid him $lOO.
Rather than lose his place the con
ductor did so. The Boston man’s
scheme of blackmailing the condue
tor is ingenious, and worthy of the
famous Boston intellect. But it also
shows that when a man runs to in
tellect he may have a very little soul.
Tur Washington correspondent of :
the Atlanta Constitution says Mr.
Cleveland has engaged rooms at the
Arlington, to be ready on March 2d.
“Cleveland will pay as he goes, hay-.
ing declined all tenders of hospitali
ty, even those from several wealthy
citizens, who expressed a desire to
entertain him.” The above shows
that Mr. Cleveland has adopted Ben.
Franklin’s maxim, “Pay as you go.”
Our newly elected President has set
a good example to the country. There
are too many public men who dead
beat the public because they occupy
some prominent place. “Pay as you

pay, don’t go. |
THE NESRO IN ILLINOIS.
The Chicago Tribune and Inter-
Ocean have specials from Blooming
ton, 111., saying that within the last
few days a number of threatening
letters have been received through
the mails by several of the colored
residents of the village of Belle Flow
er, stating that if the recipient did
not immediately move away from the
place, it would be worse for them.
The colored people are represented
as being greatly excited and alarmed,
and it is stated that their children
have been insulted and beaten in
Belle Flower public school, until
obliged to leave the institution. The
assertions are also made that much
the same treatment is being given
the colored people in other central
Illinois precinets, and notably the
towns of Saybrook, Gilman and Sib
ley. The attention of the post-office
department has been called to the
threatening letters mailed, in viola
tion of law, and an investigation is
on foot.
THE CANINE CURSE.
Observingmen are of the opinion
thatan ordinary dog—and he is always
hungry—will eatand destroy in twelve
months the equivalent of that which,
if given to a well-bread pig, would
make him weigh at the expiration of
that time, 300 pounds gross; 286,000
such pigs would aggregate 85,000,000
pounds of pork, now worth at the
home shipping station more than $4,-
700,000; requiring to transport them
more than 2,860 cars, carrying fifteen
tons each, or a train more than six
teen miles long. This would build
9,400 school-houses and churches,
worth $5OO each, or would pay the
average wages of 14,000 school teach-
NOTHING LOST.
The bone industry of the cour try
is an important one. The four feet
of an ordinary ox will make a pint of
neatsfoot oil. Not a bone of any ani
mal is thrown away. Many cattle
shin-bones are shipped to Europe for
the making of knife handles, where
they bring $4O per ton. The thigh
bones are the most valuable being
worth $BO per ton for. cutting into
toothbrush handles. The foreleg
bones are worth $3O per ton, and are
made into collar buttons, parasol han
dles and jewelry, though sheep’s legs
are the staple for parasol handles.
The water in which the bones are
boiled is reduced to glue; the dust
which comes from sawing the bones is
fed to cattle and poultry: and all
bones that cannot be used as noted,
or for bone black, used in refining the
sugar we eat, are made into fertilizers,
and made to help enrich the soil.
As regards waste, it is the story of
ithe pig: Nothing is lost excep) the
squeal.
HOW HE WILL PAY HIS BET.
A novel bet, made in Rockland
County before the election, is to be
paid in the month of February. Some
time before the election P. B. Les
penasse, a sturdy farmer and a strong
Republican, entered into. an argu
ment with Hamilton, a Cleveland
man, which resulted in a bet as to
the result. A stipulation was made
in the wager, however, that if the
man who lost would walk from New
York City to Washington, D. C., and
carry with him a live pig and a roos
ter, the money lost should be refund
ed. The loser, Mr. Lespenasse, has
decided to undertake the task speci
fied. He will start on Monday, Feb
ruary 2, from Madison Square, New
York, for the City of Washington,
taking with him a rooster and a pig.
He expects to reach his destination
on the 2d or 4th of March,and will be
present at the inauguration of Presi
dent Cleveland. As a means of de
fraying his expenses he will sell pho
tographs of himself and his two com
panions while on his travels.—New
York Times.
ON the day of the assembling of
the Massachusetts Legislature a ru
ral gentleman, carrying a large black
glazed cloth valise of the style known
as “Kenncbeckers,” on which wuos
strapped a bed quilt, appeared in tho
shoeblack’s room in the State House
basement. Depositing his baggage
by the side of the chair, he allowed
his large boots to made presentable.
Then he requested the boy to send
his valisz to his room. “To your
committee room ?” inquired the boy.
“No, to my bed room, sonny.”
“Why,” said the youth, “members
don’t sleep at the State House.”
“Yes they do,” said the new member,
“and be sure to have my quilt laid on
the bed.” After repeated inquiries
the new member found that it was as
the shoe shiner had said, that mem
bers did notlodge at the State House,
and he went out in quest of a cheap
boarding house.
DAKOTA WEATHER.
A GENTLEMAN from Dakota, who
has been visiting the Exposition,
states that when he left home the
thermometer registered fifty degrees
below zero. Men had their faces
frozen by the brief exposure incident
to walking across the street. On
being asked by a curious New Or
leans friend how it was possible to
transact business in such weather, he
replied that in Dakota people always
expect to remain at home during a
severe winter, and are always well
enough provided with the where
withal to make themselves comfort
able. As for poor people, he stated
that it might be safely said in a gen
eral way there were no poor people
in Dakota, as only men of energy
and business experience cared to
make their fortune in that region.
On a clear, frosty day, he added that
it was perfectly easy for a conversa
tion to be carried on between two
clear voiced men at the distance of a
mile.
ARGUMENT AGAINST CONCEALED
Wearons.—William H. Stephens, a
young man living in the third district
of Dooly county, left Hawkinville on
Thursday eveninglast. It wasa cold
day and he thought alittle whiskey
would help his feelings. He bought
some, and on the way home he took a
few drinks, He arrived at the home
of his brother Richard O. Stephens,
and in attempting to remove a pistol
from his inside coat pocket, the wea
pon fell to the floor and was discharg
ed, a ball passing through his leit arm,
between the elbow and wrist. Rich-i
ard went after Dr. Johnson and the
ball and a portion of the bone were
extracted. The ball in comingin con
tact with the bone, split in two pieces
and the bone was fractured and a
piece about two inches long was taken
out.— Hawkinsville Dispateh.
SMART ProrLE.—Sam V. Harris
lives in Fort Worth. Neither he nor
his wife are very smart, as will be seen
by the followingincident. Last night
Sam heard a noise under his bed.
“Thefe is somebody under the
bed,” said Sam to his wife.
“It’s Fido, Iguess.” 1
No, I think it’s a burglar,” replied
Sam.
“Just reach your hand down and if
it is Fido he will lick it.” |
The burglar, for it was after all,
overheard the conversation, and when
Sam reached his hand down the bur
glar licked it all over very affection
ately. This was entirely satisfactory,
and they both went to sleep, but when
they woke up next morning there was
not much left in the house that was
worth carrying off.
A MEeaN Insinvation.—He ecalled
for gin, and in a calm, unembarrass
‘ed sort of way filled his glass to the
brim.
“See here, my friend,” expostulated
the bar-tender, “that is gin you are
pouring out, not water.”
The customer eyed him rebukingly
over the top of the glass, as he slow
ly drained its contents.
“Mister,” he said in a hurt tone of
voice, “do I look like a man that
would drink that much water?”’ |
Just before “the late unpleasant
ness” John Daniel moved from near
Woodstock, in Oglethorpe county, by
private conveyance to Texas. When
he passed through this place, Charlie
Dougherty gave him a dog, which he
tied to his wagon and carried to his
far western home. The dog remained
with him about a week after his ar
rival in Texas and then disappeared
In a few weeks afterward he was
back in this place, having traversed
the entire distance alone.— G'reens
boro Herald.
A drummer for one of the largest
liquor houses in the South tells the
Athens Banner that, “The temper
ance wave thai issweepingover Geor
gia is death to the liquor business.
You may take any wholesale liquor
dealer in Georgia, and he will tell you
that his business is not one-half what
it was a few years ago. I shall go
into something else as soon as I can.”
He says the extent of the jug busi
ness in prohibition counties is greatly
exaggerated.
The California Republicans who
have made such boasts of their oppo
sition to monopolists have elected to
the United States Senate the biggest
monopolist on the Pacifio coast, ex-
Gov. Stanford, than whom, indeed,
there are probably but two wealthier
men in the United States, Gould and
Vanderbilt. Gov. Stanford is the
man who paid $20,000 for the flowers
used at the funeral of his sixteen
year-old son, and who paid $lO,OOO
to Dr. Newman for preaching the
funeral sermon.

JUG VB. BARREL AND HOGSHEAD.
’ In his charge to the grand jury of
Bartow county, Monday morning.
Judge T. J. Simmons, of Macon, said
that he had learned with pleasure
that Bartow county had recently vo
ted whisky out ofits borders. He
said: "I urge upon you, gentlemen,
to see to it that this law is respected
and enforced. If you will support it
by a hearty public sentiment and help
to punish thoes who violate it, you
will soon have very little use for
grand juries and criminal courts in
your county. I have presided as
Jjudge in almost every section of Geor
gia, and I find that violations of the
criminal law are nearly three-fourths
as great in thoes counties where whis
ky is retailed as in the counties where
prohibition is enforced and respected.
The kind of whisky now used seems
to give men a homicidal mania.
When under its influence they are
not satisfied with fist-and-skull fight
ing, but use implements likely to pro
duce death. Men may still continue
to buy whisky and drink it, in spite
of your prohibitory law. They will
no doubt send to Atlanta and get it
by the jug full, but it is better than
by the barrel and hogshead. The
evil influences of bar-rooms and bar
room associations are also avoided.
When men buy whisky by the jug full
and carry it to their homes and drink
it in the presence of their wives and
children, they are not so likely to
drink to excess, nor do they so fre
quently commit erime while under
its influence when away from the evil
influences that always follow and sur
round retail liquor shops. I have no
ticed, gentlemen, that the dry counties
in the Macon circuit have compara
tively no criminal business, and that
grand juries have an easy time. It
