The Great Marine Railway.
Captain Eads, the successful engineer
of the ielty scheme, was in New York
last Wednesday, and the World inter
viewed him to the extent of a very inter
esting article. He reported the jetty
channel to contain, at its least depth,
801 feet of water and the entire pass it
self from SO to 40 feet The shoal above
the jetties now shows 27 2.10 feet. So
that this last depth, at low water, is the
least that can be enconntercd between
New Orleans and deep water in the Gulf.
This is fonr feet more than can bo car
ried over the bar as Sandy Hook in low
tide.
As to the Florida canal, Capfc. Eids
had given it no personal investigation,
but in connection with the improved
marine acoasa to Now Orleans, ha con-
sidered it an enterprise of great import
ance and likely to bring a good return to
investors.
Capt. Eads was on bis way to Europe,
partly for relaxation and partly in the
interest of the proposed marine railway
across the Isthmus of Darien. For this
enterprise he stated '.hat the funds were
all ready whenever he wa3 ready to be
gin the work. He confidently hoped to
be able to transport the largest mer
chant vessels, fully loaded, from the
Caribbean Sea to the Pacific Ocean with
in the next four years. The cost of the
road would not be a quarter of the C03t
of the canal on its lowest eetimate, and
its expenso would he susceptible of ac
curate estimate, while no man could com
pute the cost of the canal, dependent, as
it must be, on the nature of the soil and
rock to be excavated, and the difficulty
of drainage for the purposa of exoava-
tion.
The road would transfer the ship from
sea to sea in twelve hours, without inju
ry, And at much les3 expense than the
canal. Hi3 plan of the read met all the
difficulties of a change of grade and
direction in the road. This was done by
turn-tables of a peculiar construction
which he discribed. There would be no
difficulty in the transfer of these ships
on trucks, without injury, and the plan
of flcating.tb-'u ia tanks wa3 unpractic-
able, because it « ould require the trans
portation of more than their weight in
water, for which there would be no com
pensation.
Razing.
The authorities of Princeton College
have taken a wise step in advance of the
opening of another academio year. They
have notified the parents or guardians of
every member of the Sophomore class
that any student found gmlty of hazing
will be at once and irrevocably expelled.
This notification, it may be hoped, will
clear the atmosphere of the college effect
ually before the reassembling of the
classes, and it promises well for the peaoe
and oemfort of the Freshmen of 1879-80,
as to whom the cry already is that they
are coming in like Jean Ingelow’s High
Tide. The discussion and revelations set
on foot in the newspapers by the recent
expulsion of six cadets from West Point,
have shed a flood of new light on the mor
al and physical aspects of hazing. We
see, with amazement, that the practice
is defended by itB partisans on high moral
grounds, as essential to the proper mi-
thetical and mental development of the
sufferers. A few buckets of cold water
and a gentle robbing down with an oaken
cudgel or a bundle of switches are thought
to hare a wondrous efficacy in ridding a
boy of the rural slouch, and imparting an
air and spirit of discipline and culture.
In the light of these suggestions we
can think of nothing but the plaintive re
monstrances of a colored seamstress with
her mistress, the other day. The speak
er had suffered from a long and bad spell
of the ugliet, to which she was subject
occasionally, and insisted upon receiving
a whipping for it; and she was much an
noyed to find she oonld not be accommo
dated. She was sure she should feel
bettor if somebody would whip her. It
would take the nglies ont of her—“limber
her jints,” and make her feel good all
over. Perhaps if, as in this case, the
freshmen will unite in a petition for the
re-establishment of hazing on the high
moral grounds taken by the Seniors, it
may be revived.
TIie.F.rst Bale Delusion.
This year, in the face of a general crop
preepeot which seems to ns as unpromis
ing as we have seen it for the past five or
six years, ‘'first hales" come in seven to
ten days ahead of last year! How is it ?
It seems easy of explanation. An un
precedented drought terminated by the
deluge of the last few days, had hurried
a small and advanced portion of tho
growing crop into a premature opening
and the scanty lint scattered here and
there on a plantation has been collected
at great labor to win the celebrity and
price of a “first bale.”
The talk of the crop itself was dwarfish
and admitted to be three weeks behind
that of last year. The scanty fruit,
blossoms and towns clinging to it when
these deluging rains set in, it may well bo
feared, will now disappear, and the weed
put on a new growth which may place it
aa to solid, frait-bsaring and picking an
additional six to eight weeks behind last
year.
These we take to he the facts in the
case. The fancies raised by these first
bales will bo dissipated in a short time,
bat, meanwhile, prove very delusive to
buyers and sellers. Mach, of coarse, de
pends on the weather and the lateness of
the fall, bnt the prognostication of a light
cotton crop seema to ns as reasonable sb
it h&3 been known to bo for the past six
years. "*

Annual Exposition and Barbe
cue of tbe Ocmuigee Farmers*
Club. a
Despite the succession of terrific
storms which, one after another, rose
black as ink above the rim of the horiion
and then burst like watorspouts upon the
landscape, a goodly number of citizens
of both sexes had the patriotism and
hardihood to brave the tempest and come
ont to attend what is usually the most
popular gathering in Bibb county, the
Ocmulgee Farmers* Club. There were
not less than four hundred perrons pres
ent, including-one hundred Jodies, the
latter by actual count. And they stood
it ont bravely to the end, the dear girls
clearly evincing that they were not made
of dissolving material like sugar and
salt.
The premium list, and some mention
of the literary exercises of the day, to
gether with a portion of the incidents of
the occasion have already been portrayed
in our local columns of yesterday. This
is intended to be merely a supplementary
report of the proceedings.
And, imprimis, we would advert again
to the interesting historical essay of Mr.
B. W. Lundy, and the incomparable ad
dress of Colonel Thomas Hardeman, Jr.
The former, from its very minuteness
and the graphic descriptions given of the
various early settlements of Howard Dis
trict in Bibb county, the names and his
tory of the leading men, the numerous
anecdoteB illustrative of frontier life, and
the progress, step by step, from the un
trodden wilderness to the highest degree
of civilization, was listened to for about
an Hour with the closest attention. We
hope to give our readers the benefit of
this contribution to the early history of
Bibb, and therefore will not mutilate it
by partial mention.
CoL Hardeman's effoit, though not the
moBt showy, was in realty ono of the
ablest of h's life. Iu the present in
stance the speaker sought to grapple
with facts only, though his remarks
were interpersed with brilliant flights of
imagery and beautiful figures which
ever and anon foaiiated the strong Iogio
of his argument with flashes like those
of the Aurora Borealis. Nor were the
addenda of pointed anecdotes and broad
humor wanting to make up the tout em
semhle of this stirring oration. The peo
ple listened, applauded, laughed and
then became sober and attentive again,
as they drank in tho words of wisdom
which came as by anthority from the
lips of tho honored President of the
State Agricultural Society.
The burden of the Colonel’s address
was the supreme importance to the
farmer of 'keeping out of debt. This
lesson they had been tanght by sad expe
rience in the past. They had profited by
it, as th9 presence of the ladies under the
gloom of those weeping skiep, and the
deep Interest they took in tho farm dis
plays of their husbands and brothers
abundantly testified. Every farmer must
address himself to his duties with all the
zeal of an enthnsiast if he wonld hope to
succeed. One truth demonstrated in
practice was worth any amonnt of theo-
relrloal instruction. He did not, how
ever, by any means underrate book learn
ing for the farmer. On the contrary, it
was Bcienoe and ressaroh into nature’s an
oana that furnished the gronnd-work for
the praolioal applications of the farmer.
The two were not antagonistic. Bat we
took no notes, and cannot follow Colonel
Hardeman In his remarks, which were al
most entirely extemporaneous. The only
written portion was a deeply interesting
statement of the origin of the State Agri
cultural Society, the names of its foun
ders, embraoing seme of the noblest sons
of Georgia, itB early straggles, and sub
sequent rapid rise and progress.
Colonel Hardeman is a natural orator,
and never seems at a 103s for thonghts or
language, it matters not how suddenly
called upon. As the president of the
State Agricultural Society, hois doing a
great work for the people, and seldom
faiU to attend the fairs and agricultural
gatherings of the country, where his voice
is ever uplifted in behalf of the trne in
teracts of the community.
It should be said also that the presi
dent of the clnb, A. M. Lockett, Esq.,
opened the prccedinga with an excellent
practical address, in which he spoke
words of the warmest welcome to all
present, and called upon them to excuse
the deficiencies that might appear in the
exhibition. The drought had prevailed
to each an extent at one time that It was
feati-l they conld make no exposition at
all. As it was, so disheartening had
been the disaetrons season upon the clnb,
that out ct sixty members only twelve
farmers had appeared with their field pro-
dnots. The president’s warm welcome
was received with general applause, and
then the regular epeating of the day, as
related, began.
Bnt if the exhibitors were few, they
made it np in the extent, variety and ex
cellence of tho oontribn’.Ions. Tho annu
al Exposition of tho Ocmulgee Clnb
wonld hava filled an important spaoe in
the Btate Agricultural Fair, and passed as
first-class for the show of a whole coun
ty. Let ns take a bird’s-eye view cf what
was to be seen.
Beginning first in (he long extempo
rized shelter covered with bagging, erect
ed for field prodnots, we found Brob-
dinsgtan specimens of Indian corn,
laden with laaly ears; rack heads of
German millet, ric9 over two feet in
height, heavy barley, osts threshed and
in the ehesf, as bright end flee as those
grown in Illinois, tho celebrated Schley
wheat, plump a3 a ceffea berry, by J. W
Myrlck, corn ripe enongh to grind, sweet
potatoes also, well grown and shapely,
a largo display of cotton stalks of the
most approved varieties, as well grown as
in ordinary seasons and loaded with bolls,
Blossoms cud forms, immense specimens
of beets, squasbe-j tomatoes, onions,
Irish potatoes, cabbages, collard?, carrots,
encumbers, green pees, roasiiug-ears,
melrr-*, peaches, apples, grapes, a mag
nificent show of kershaws as crooked as
the ram’s horns that levelled the walls of
Jericho, and each cne big enough to
make pies sufficient to feed for a day all
the frequenters ot Delmonicos saloon,
reared by onr neighbor Mr. S. I. Guerin,
who exhibited choioe cantaloupes also;
ground-peas,*twenty kinds of garden
seeds by one farmer, dried frnit, a new
vims of stock food resembling the
ground-pea hut ramifying from the
joints in all directions. The kernel of
this is encased in a hull like a hickory-
nut and is nearly round. This nut is in
ferior to tbe ground-pea in value bnt
very fattening for hogs.
The ladies contributions whioh were
displayed in the clnb house wonld com
pare favorably with any we have ever
seen.
They included cakes, bread, biscuits,
rolls, honey, batter, fruits, preserves,
jellies, pieties, flowers in profu
sion, wines, cordials, needle work,
and wine. Of the latter Mrs A. M. Lock
ett exhibited no less than thirty-one
varieties of domestic manufacture, every
one of which were clear of sediment,
bright and sparkling. It was a surprise
to nr, and we append the names: Ca
tawba, Manila Cherry, Apple, Persim
mon, Winter Grape, Banana, Dewberry,
Map-pop, Fig, Blaokberry, Watermelon,
Plnm, Wild Summer Grape, Concord,
Bed Haw, Whortleberry, Pemegranate,
Isabella Grape, Tomato, Peach,
Batson Wine, Alder-berry, Fox
Grape, Madeira Grape, Quince Wine,
Yellow Plnm, Pear, Sonppernoug
and Muscadine. We doubt if any
exposition in the Union ever presented
Buch an array of homo mado wines, all
pure and delicious.
There were fine samples of soap also,
and Mr. B. W. Lundy exhibited a simple
bnt complete Watergate.
In the stock department we saw
some fine blooded milch cows and heifers,
and one bull of great Bize.
The display of horses was not large
bnt the mare and colt of Mr. W, W.
Hightower, of the “Gold Dnst” stock
wonld have- taken a premium at the
world’s exhibition.
The barbecue was one of those old-
fashioned ante-bellum affairs when the
cost was never calculated, and there was
no end to the munificent- feast provided
for all. On this occasion a regiment
might have dined and still left a goodly
remainder nnconsnmed.
The entertainment came off at the
beantlfnl gronnds of Captain B. E. Park,
better known as tbe former plantation of
Gen. W. S. Holt. That worthy gentle
man was present, and narrated many in
cidents connected with his early days on
that Identloal spot, when as yet the oity
of Maoon had not crossed over to the
west side of the Oomnlgee.
In the evening a terrible storm caused
about forty persona to claim the hospital
ities of Captain Park for tbe night, and
muaio and dancing effeotnally banished
all oare for the tempest without.

thoBS who essayed to brave the raging

creeks in the return to Macon. Qaite a

A copy of the funding b !1 l aa it had
passed tbeHonse, was read by the secre
tary. -
Mr. Jewett urged three objeoiionB to
the bill; first in regard to the bonds be
ing valid without the signature ot the
commission; second, that the Mayor and
Chairman ot the Finance Committee
should be allowed to remain members of
the Commission, and third, that there
was ambiguity in regard to the rate of
taxation.
Mr. J. M. Jones nrge 1 a farther ob
jection that no provision was made for
the interest on the annnity bonds.
Colonel Fort spoke in regard to the
Mayor and Chairman of the Committee
being members of the Commission. He
favored it in the intereat of haimony,
and thought it wonld be better to yield
the point than to allow the whole eoheme
to be defeated.
A letter from Hon. A. O. Baoon to Mr.
Felix Corpnt was. read. It critloised
sharply the passage of a set ot resolu
tions by Connoildeolinlng to make fruther
concessions. It was spread on tbe tun
nies.
Tbe amendment proposed by Mr
Jones in regard to providing for the in'
tereston annuity bonds was endorsed,
and the c rase of the meeting w.i that it
shonld be incorporated in the bill.
Mr. Jewett moved that it was the sense
of the meeting that these items be insist
ed on. Carried.
Mr. W. B. Bsgers moved that a com
mittee of citizens bs appv.uted to go to
Atlanta and nrge thsse proposed amend
ments.
Mr. Dessau spoke at length, favoring
strongly Mr. Jewett’s resolution.
Colonel Fort replied briefly, and oited
instances of where the Mayor and Finance
Commute ohalrman were numbers of the
refunding commissions.
Colonel H. H. Jones rose to make a few
remarks, when Mr. W. C. Wilson raised
the point that ha was sot a resident of
the city. The objection was unanimously
overruled. Colonel Jones said he spoke
for the good of the city alone. That the
power of the present Mayor and Council
wonld pas3 away, bnt that tho Commis
sion lasted thirty years, and the Mayor
and Committeemin wonld act as a check
and come direotly from the people every
two yea j.
The three points were taken np eerir
tim, and the motion to m3ke the granges
carried unanimously. The following
committee was appointed to go to At
lanta in the interest of the opposition to
the present bill:
J. F. Hanson, chairman, H. L. Jewett,
W. B. Johnston, A V. Collins, W. Des

Jack Plane tn New Yotk-Seenes
and Incidenta of the Day—Dr.
SberberS and bis Difficulties.
Nzwr York, July 80,1879.
If a day is a miniature life in all of
its bearings and possibilities, then a day
in the great metropolis of the New World
hai more than ordinary interest attached
to it. And yet I fail to appreciate the
differenoe between a day : n Biohmond
and one in New York, other than the
difference between the habits and man
ner! of the two peoples. The same les
sons are to he learned, the Bame warnings
are given, and the same results reaohed.
Notwithstanding the discussions of the
two civilizations, North and Sonth, and
the evils attendant thereon, the safe con
clusion is arrived at, that crime in one
section is no worse than that in the
other. And while the Paiitan sentimen
tality assumes that the civilization of the
North is older, riper and higher than
that oE the Sonth, yet the crimes in
cident to this civilization are of a more
diabolical and degrading character than
those which disgrace the Sonth. They
affect society more disastrously because
cf their monstrous criminality and fear
ful enormity. They sap the very.founde-
tions npon whioh the social fabric rests,
because they are tyie outgrowth of a mor
bid sentimentality in reference to social
questions. The Oneida Community, one
of the legitimate offsprings of this higher
civilization, does xuoxo to poison the bo-
cial atmosphere, and degrade humanity,
than a dozen Cox-Alston, Hill Simmons
homhides, to Bay nothing of the fearful
crimes of Pomeroy and Freeman. Bnt I
forbear. I had not intended to enter np
on this line of thought, but have been
drawn into it by the comparison of a day
in a Southern oity with that I have jnst
spent in New York. There ie a brighter
side to life in both sections, and in which
I take far greater delight. There is in
both sections &J high-toned, cultivated
claea of society, whom I delight to know.
Men though differing widely in senti
ment, bnt, nevertheless, gentlemen. Onr
day in New York wn a olondy day, clos
ing up with a regular .’north-easter.
What little business that was on hand,
was soon despatched, and we gave our
selves over to sight-seeing. My frequent
visits had taken off the keen eye of onri
os.ty, and I tarried at the St. Dennis,
Not so, however, with ;my companion,
Dr. Sherbert; he was anxious “to do New
York” in the shoitest possible time,I as
we were booked for New England on tbe
morrow. Ha went forth unsophisticated,
yet dreaming that he was equal to the
under f xking, believing what I had told
him wera delations, and that I was only
trying to frighten him by telling him of
the’.dangers that environ a stranger in this
“little world by itself.”
I watched him as he joined the living
tide of humanity that was surging by,
and tried to gness what his experience
wonld be. He wes soon lost In the multi
tude, and was soon out of mind as I found
myself intensely interested in studying
the faoea of the passing crowd. Innumer
able questions wonld ariBe, some of them
ridiculous, some of graver import.
Where are all these people going, where
do they live, and how do they live? What
are they thinking about ? What a study;
There were represented all nations, all
types of faoes, all varieties of countenan
ces, -til styles from the richest to the most
grotesque, all kinds of obaraeter from the
pmest to the moat abandoned, all ages,
all sizes, all vocations from the banker to
the scavenger—all mingling together,
all jostling against eaoh other in one
moving mass—rushing on whither? I
became deeply absorbed; every emotion
of my nature was more or les3 aroused in
sympathy for one, then with another of
the passing multitude. Thus I saw a
world—a lifetime depicted in the faces of
this restless crowd.
I was aroused from thi3 reverie by a
hand pressing heavily npon my shoulder.
It was the hand of the Doctor who had
just returned. It wob a relief, for I knew
he had revelations to make. He drew
his chair close np to mine and exclaimed,
“Jack, this is the biggest institution that
I have ever seen in my life.” “Where
have yon been?” I enquired. Leaping
round, in subdued tones he said, *Tve
been everywhere.” “Tell me of soma-
thing yon’ve seen ?” I insisted.
He had been to Castle Garden, to the
new post-offioe, went down Wall street,
went the whole length of Broadway and
saw all of its wonders and attractions, its
saloons and watering maids. Looking
back to he sure that Consin Mary was not
near, he said that he had gone all
through the notorious Five Points In the
Company with a friend whom he had met
up with, and a policeman. “Did yon go
any where else?” I innocently asked. He
hesitated. He looked at me inquiringly.
“Well, (nem) yes, bnt don’t you say any
thing about it, for I don’t want my wife
nor the boya at home to know it for the
world. Yon see after we come from the
Five Points, my friend insisted that we
step in and take a glass of large—nice
place down these steps. The policeman
excused himself that he could
not drink while on duty. We vent
down, one ot the prettiest tittle girls
brought us onr beer that I oversaw. We
drank leisurely, and she stood smilingly
waiting to replenish onr glasses. My
friend suggested that we step back into
tbe billlatd room, whioh he Eaid was one
of the floes', in tbe city. I hesitated a tit
tle. Tbe tittle charmer spoke np: ‘ Oh,
yen’ll like it; its very floe.” I followed.
We went through a narrow passage mak
ing one or two turns, and wera ushered
into a brilliantly lighted room. There
were two or three men hurrying around,
and another superintending a faro bank.
My friend went np and pm doau some
money on oertaln spots and won every
time. He assured me that was tbe win
ning way every time, and urged me to tiy
my hand. It was not u^til then that
diBOOvered that I had been sold. I star
ted for the door—it was looked. They
would allow no one to go ont without tuk
ing a hand in this game.
X. begged, bnt it was no me.
I bad to resort to a rase, bnt don’t yon
tell it on me. I told him that i was a
preacher, a long ways from home, and had
but little money and knew nothiog about
gambling. After a few curses and deris
ive laughter by the inmates, tbe door was
opened and I hastened to rusks my es
cape. “ What became of jour friend;”
I enquired ss a relief te my pent-up
risibilities.” “Oh, I met bim In the
saloon se I came ont, and he atked me
not to blame him for the difficulty I l ad
gotten into—he had been deceived. Yon
be qniet about this matter. Now, I mutt
go np and see Mary and tbe children, for
it is nearly one o’clock, (feeling for bis
watch) bless my soul; I do be
lieve that soonndrel has got my
watch.” It was crnel. bnt I conld not
withhold any longer the volume of
laughter that had been gathering force
all the time of talking. Is had to come
out, as he stood in blank amazement,
feeling in an empty pocket.
Dinner was eaten in almost profound
silence. Just as we were getting r- a.ly to
leave the table, consin Msry inquired of
the Doctor the hour. Confusedly he op.
pealed to me to know the time of day.
His watch was not cenvenient. Cousin
Mary insisted that the Dootor should
carry her and the children to the Central
Park. “Yea,” I remarked, “Go with
him—he needs a guardian,” with a wink
of the eye to him. He looked daggers
at me. Soon they were gone, and I, with
paper and pencil, spent the afternoon
In my room. As the Doctor vent
ont, the hip pooket wu filled with a
Smith & Wesson. He jast wanted to
meet that friend again. After a very de
lightful visit to the Park, the Doctor .’eft
his wife and ehildren at the hotel, and
he sauntered down Broadway again.
His experience varied bat little from
that of the morning. He stopped to read
the advertisement ot a “fat girl,” who
was on exhibition. She was only thir
teen Tears old and weighed 300 pounds,
so said. The dootor has great fancy for
anatomy, and he was desirous of increas
ing his knowledge in that eeience. While
he was debating the question a gentle
man slapped him on the shoulders.
“Why, here you are Dr. When did you
get heraF” The doctor was a little reluc
tant to reoognfze him. “Why,” says
he, “you remember Tom Garrett, conduc
tor on the State road in Georgia?” This
captured the doctor; of course, he knew
Tom Ganett. They went in, and after
looking at thi3 natural monstrosity they
were informed that by stepping into the
bedroom they con'd examine her ward,
robe. They went—the d^er was closed,
and the doctor found himself sold again.
He demanded to be let ont, but they
refused.. He brought out the contents
of the hip pceket, aod his friend was in
duced to open the door. The Doctor
now thiDks—nay, he positively asserts
that it was not Tom Garrett, though it
looked tike him. The Doctor was thor-
nghly disgusted with New York life,
ad eaid, “If this is the Northern civili
zation of which they boast, he wonld
rather take his chances on the Texas
frontier.”
Late in the afternoon a Berrant in
formed ms that a lady was anxious to Bee
me in the parlor. I laid down my pencil
and hastened to answer the summons,
and fourd Consin Miry ''ltT'femble dis
tress. She desired a few tittle articles,
and, not feeling like going out herself,
she gave Emma, the colored nurse,
a five dollar bill and sent her ont
to make the purchases. She had
been gone two or three hours. She
mast have lOBt her way. She didn’t know
even the name of the hotel in which they
were stopp'ng. What wonld become of
her ? And what will I do with the chil
dren, she exclaimed in utter dismay.
The doctor was gone and night was
coming OD, and all arrangements made
to leave the city on the early morning
train. What conld be dene ? The set*
vices of the good-natured gray haired
clerk of the St. Dennis was called into
requlai“on, and the police wa3 soon on
track. At a late hour, with bedrabbled
skirts, and half frightened to death,
without money or purchases, Emma
turned np in care of a policeman. I
have never seee two persons more thor
oughly disgusted with a visit to Gotham
than Sheibirt acd wife. A memorable
day to them.
To-morrow wo go to the land of “nut-
mega,” where consin Mary and the chil
dren will rest, while the doctor and
will take a few glimpses of New England
life. Jack Pnxnr.

No Remarks About tbe Weather.

It was hot yesterday. It was hotter at
noon. It was so hoc that passengers on
tho street took off their hats, mopped
their brows and fiercely deebred that
they knew at the time that we’d catch it
about the 1st of Jaly. The Borne saloon
had jnst one chair left, and tbls was taken
by a rad-whickered man cdrwn whose
cheeks the perspiration fairly run, H:s
clothes stack to the small of his back,
hia big red hands were wet to tho finger
nails, and it was evident that the son
had been trying to corner him; seven or
eight men were making ready to tell him
it was a hot dny, when the stranger drew
ont a big revolver, laid it on his knee,
and, looklog up and down tho room,
slowly remarked: “Gentlemen, I’m a
utrauger here, bnc have bought a honae
and lot up the street and shall paes here
six times a day, ‘Chid is my day for
opening the season.”
Every mra looked at him in a wonder

pon of death, the stranger added:
“It is hot woa'ber. Even a fcol knows
tba?. It’d going 1o be hotter. Two
