Grandma told me all about it, Told me, so I couldn’t doubt it How sjte.dauccd—my grandma danced! Long ago How abe held her pwtty bead, How bet dainty skirts she spread, How she turned her little toes— Smiling little human rose! Long ago. Grandxaa’a hair was bright and sunny; Dimpled cheeks, too—ah, .how fanny. Really quite a pretty girl, Long ago. Bless her! why, she wears a cap, Grandma dear, and takes a nap Every single day; and yet Grandma danced the minuet Long ago, Now she site there, rocking, rocking Al frays knitting grandpa’s stocking, (Every girl was taught to knit Long ago.) Yet her figure is so neat And her way so staid and sweet, . I can almost see her now. Bending to her partner’s bow, Long ago. Grandma says our modern jamping, Hopping, rushing, whirling, bumping, Would have shocked the gentler folk Long ago* Nc—they moved with stately grace, Everything in proper place. G.iding slowly forward, then Slowly courtesy tog back again, Long ago. Modern ways are quite alarming, Grandma sayf; but boys were charming— Girls and boys, I mean, of course— Long ago. Bravely modest, grandly shy— What if all of us should try Just to feci like those who met In the graceful minuet, Long ago. With the minuet in fashion Who could fly into a passion? All would wear the calm they wore Long ago. In the lime to come, if I perchance Should tell my grandchild of our dance, I should really like to say: “ We did it, dear, in same such i way f Long ago.” A.Great University. A New York clergyman startled his conercgaiion last Sabbath by the statement that "he knew a man who proposed to give $20,000,000 to the founding of a Baptist University.” Sifted down to the facts by the in defatigable reporters, it is ascertained that John D. Rockafeller, the mil lionaire president of the Standard Oil company, is at the head of a move ment to establish a mammoth col lege for this great denomination at Chicago. Dr. Strong, of Rochester JJniversity, and Dr. W. F. Harper, of Yale, have been taken into confi dence, and with the enormous wealth of Rockaieller. with the other money ed interests he can control, it looks to be assured that the Baptists are to have perhaps the greatest of Amer ican universities. The only possible criticism is in the placing of the institution at Chi cago. The university would gather dignity, individuality and prestige it it should be located in a smaller and less overshadowing place. To make it really famous Mr. Rockafeller should place it in the south.—Tribune of Rome. hdBrtujjw, ■ rollclri written, . . Iuertr.se tlurlusr year, ■ Ulsko a-isuraci, lntrva«.r tlnrlnff jrar.

The sea occupies three-fifths of the earth’s surface. A mile down the water has sure of a ton to the square inch. It has been proven that at the depth of 35,qqo feet waves are not felt. At some places the force of the waves dashing against the rocks on the shore is said to be. seventeen tons to the square yard. The temperature is the same, vary ing only a trifle from the i^e of the pole to the burning sun of the equator. The water is colder at the bottom than at the surface. In the many bays on the coast of Norway the wa ter often freezes at the bottom before it does at the top. If a box six feet deep were filled with sea water and the water allowed to evaporate in the sun there would be two indies of salt at the bottom. Taking the average depth of the oceau to be three miles, there would be a layer of pure salt 230 feet thick on the Atlantic. Waves are very deceptive* to look at them in a storm one would think the whole water traveled. The water stays in the same place but the mo tion goes on. Sometimes in storms these waves are forty feet high and travel fifty miles an hour—more than twice as fast as the swiftest steamer The distance fiom valley to valley is generally fifteen times the height^; hence a wave five feet high will ex tend over seventy-five feet of water. Many people believe in "the great est good to the greatest number,” awl their greatest number is No. L WASHINGTON’S BIRTHDAY. A BRILLIANT OCCASION.

Last evening mirked another era ia the brilliant social history of the Pioey Woods hotel. The occasion was graced by the youth and beanty of the place, also by the fashionable hundreds who are here as guests. The guests asemhlei in the main parlor and marched to the great dining room where the danciog took place. The following was the order of the danoei: 1. Lancers “Ruddvffore.” 2. Waltz .‘‘Pomone." “L’Esprit Francaise.” “Nadjy." "New Lite." 6. Scbottische. .‘‘A Lovely Night in June." 7. Lancers "A Night in Venice." 8. Waltz ‘'Love’s Sigh,” The following gentlemen acted as floor managers: Me. Craig F. P. Drake, Mr. Joseph A. Jerqer, Mr. C. 8. Hebard, Dr. E. Winslow Taylor, Mr. A. G. WniTE, Mr. Louis H. Jerqer. The gentlemen acquitted themselves well in the performance of their duties. The refreshment tables were marvels of skill,surpassing anything ever seen, even in the Piney Woods, in the culi nary art. To the acsdmplished chef, Moos. Julrs Durand, and the efficient steward, Mr. N. S. Bet be, is due the oredit for the choice menu and artistic manner in which the refreshments were eerved and displayed. The gentlemen are both perfect in their line. It is impossible to describe the Unking ef fects of the appearance of the supper room. We venture, however, to no- tioe, briefly, a few of the most promi nent features. The most prominent canter, Langne dc Bocufj a la Piney Woods-supporting a chanfroid of quail en bellevue, was most elaborately gotten up, and was, in every way, a thiog of beauty. On each side of this canter-piece were two other decorationsa galantin dc chapon, supported by cornucopias of flowers, and ornamented by baskets flowers, made of dainty edibles, flanked the center piece on each side, on ono ppeared Piney Woods; on the other Welcome. Flanking these picoes, on one side, came Saumon dc Luerre dc Montpellier, carrying the American and French colors. This was a happy inspiration of our French caterers, and on this oc casion reminded the looker-on of the entente cordialc which prevailed between America and Franc a, a pleasant re minder on Washington’s birthday. Oa the other side was a Filet de Boeuf sur Socle, consisting of four large filets of beef, larded and elegantly mounted on a pinnaole made of jel(jes, confectioneries, etc. In addition to these, which were the prominent center pieces, tho tables were laden with the choicest edibles, including everything which cou’d tempt-the palate. There was a magnificent display of tropical fruits elegantly and tastefully arranged. Every one about the hotel, from the manager down to the ball boys, were assiduous in their attention to the guests. Mrs. Bower, Manager Davies, Messrs. Bndloog and Holcombe, and the entire office staff, placed themselves at the command of the guests on the occasion. Four things that come not back—the spoken word, the aped arrow, tha pest life, the neglected opportunity. You cannot dream yourself into char and (forge fs, Rower's hospitality extended mly to her own guests, but to those of the Mitchell, Masury and many other houses in this and surrounding cities. The house was elaborately decorated with Palms, magnolias and bamboo viqes, until the interior of the hotel looked like 4 portion of the beautiful woods which help to make a paradise of Thomasville- With beautiful music, furnished by Prof. Mesnier and his orchestra from New York, elaborate refreshments and elegantly dressed ladies and gentlemen, every one de clared the ball an unqaulified suc cess. Mrs. Bower was handsomely dressed in black silk and moire, with diamond ornaments.

Editor Thomastiix* Tons:—A few thoughts, if you pfoaae, about the new taw for the adoption of a uniform aeries of text hooka, in the different . lit aeemsU was enacted in 1887, aad gives the board of education in each county the power to dictate what kind of books shall be used in our public schools. It is {Jain that if ocr- tain text books be used for the public quarter, they must, of necessity, con tinue in use when patrons sustain the schools for a longer period. Manifest ly this would work a hardship, and be attended with much expense. In well organised schools the question is self- adjusting; hence, we find in many neighborhoods, a thorough ~ system of books, not from compulsion, or dicta tion, but from economy and the welfare of the public. Among these may be mentioned Lebanon academy, near Mc Donald, the location of our present school. To make the change to meet tho provirions, of the act of 1887, would involve a loss to this school in books bought, and books discarded, detriment to the school, in oonsequenca of the change, of at least $400. We want a law that will allow all schools, where the patrons have gone to tho ex pense of building a good academy, or ganized and sustained under tho di rection of trustees, a school for ten months in the year, to select their own text books. We want this as an amendment to the McCarthy Bill, now pending in the legislature. Such a law would be noth ing but justioe to a town or neighbor hood which is supporting a good school. It would do away with the perplexities and drawbacks certain to follow ia the wake of any radical change. Such a law would show to a community the importance of action to avoid the dic tation of men who know not the true situation. It would give a black eyo to hook trusts, and keep open to echoqls com petition in prices and improvements. Legislation that cuts us off from th<pe ia inimical to popular education and subversive of our liberties. Sustain and preserve them, and you cultivate that patriotism of which the yeomanry of our oountry are so justly proud. Oar school is one of the most flourishing in Brooks oounty, numbering 70 pupils, under the direction of Prof. R. C. In galls, as principal, and Judgo W. O. Gibson, formerly ordinary of Charlton oounty, aa assistant. Tho present con dition of our school may be attributed to throe causes, viz: First; earnest and efficient teaohers. 2nd; the aid and encouragement of the patrons, and 3rd, a careful and judicious selection of text books. Previous to last year,Prof. M. R. Peacock, of McDonald, h&3 had charge of the sohool for several ycari; and to his untiring efforts and com mendable zeal may bo ascribed the life and interest which pervades the community, as centered in the school. Prof. Peacock, like all other thorough teachers, saw the imperitive necessity of having the best books that could bo furnished. He solicited sample copies from different publishing houses. He and many patrons of the school made it a study for several weeks, which of those books would be best. When it was decided, they were or dered. and the cchool supplied. The choice gives entire satisfaction to all the patrons and the present teachers. And now we find confronting ui, a legislative enactment which says "you must exclude these books and uve others.” "The publishing house whose books your Board of Education may adopt, will take the ones yon have at half price, just to bum them and get them out of the way, to make room for the ire. You must agree to this or you can’t get your ‘Free School.’ ’* Will not the intelligence composing our different Boards of Education de vise some means of circa inventing the immediate operation of sueh a law? It would be an advantage to the schools generally. There are many parallel ues to the one shave cited. ~ Subscriber. Ireland’s Last King. Roderick O'Connor w with gnat pomp in Dublin in tho year 1116, when his afonny reign began- All his life bo was engaged in hostili ties with piratical Danes and even more troublesome subjects. To insure peaoo he entered into a compact with die Danish hordes who settled on the coast, never penetrating into the in terior. The tribute was a stipend in cattle of 4,000 cows, levied on his do minion. Bat it was only tho begin ning of Roderick’s troubles. Soon an event followed, insignificant in itself, bat pregnant with impending oonse- quenccs. He deposed one of the petty princes of Leinster, whose cruelty and mismanage'ment had caused much com plaint. The folly of this subject cul minated in the offense of tunning off with his neighbor’s wife. History gives undue prominence to this crime, which was only tho lightest charge laid at the door of Dormot NoMernaugh. Exasperated at his deposition, Dei* mot appealed to Henry IL, who seqt over the Anglo-Normans to assist in recovering his possessions. In return for the service rendered, the Earl of Pembroke, by a marriage with the daughter of Dermot, obtained posses sion of the Loinstcr principality, and thus laid the foundation of the Anglo- Norman rale in Ireland. Tho dis tracted condition of O'Conner's king dom prevented him raising sufficient troops to expel the Norman invaders Submitting to the inevitable, he came to terms with bis enemies. He did insist on the submission of Dermot, but appealed to lii honor not to invite further auxiliaries into the iwntry. Dermot promised fidelity, but broko bis word at the first oppor tunity. Roderick, ia despair, appealed to bis old eucmice, the Daue>, to assist him. Iu vain did Roderick strive against the inevitable. Tho first united effort of the allied armies proved a disas trous failure, but the proud spirit of the king was not broken. Listening to the wily plans of Henry, tho Irish king concluded a treaty with the En glish monarch. So iar from fulfilling the provisions of this contract, solemn ly agreed upon in Dublin, Henry, soon after, actually made a present of the whole of Connansbt to William Fill- adlcm do Burgo and his heirs—Irish Times. Facts From History. Tho translation of the Bible waa finished in 1 Oil, A. D. Tho first landing of the Dacca io England was in 1769, B. C. Three years after the landing of the English colonials at Jamestown, Va., the first importation of cattle occurred. The manufacture of linen was first introduced into England by the Flem ing*, or people of Flanders, in 1253. Its manufacture spread into Scotland and into Ireland duiiog the reign of James 1. Ono hundred years ago apple* were not much larger than plums, tomatoes were entirely unknown, and many of the most valuable fruits and vegetables grew in tho woods in tho wild state io which nature created them. Turnpike roads were first established in the reign of Queen Anne. Till then all roads were repaired by the paruhers. Turnpikes were so called from poles or bars swung on a staple, and turned either way when due* were paid. In the ninth century, so old beggar from Japan took some tea setdi and plant* back with him to Ms native land.
