Hobson’s Choice
(From The Memphis Commercial-
Appeal.)
Portland, Orge., July 26.—Miss
Lula Lobdell, of this city, is repor¬
ted to be engaged to Captain Hob-
sod, hero of the Merrimac. Miss
Lobdell is very beautiful and u
leader in Portland’s smartest Set,
Augusta Me., July 26.—It is re¬
pored that captain Richmond
Pearson Hobson is engaged to
marry one of this city’s lovelist
daughters. He has been here
several times, with a queer look in
his eyes.
Winona, Minn., July 26. — The
parents of Miss Grace Wheeler,
this city’s most popular young
lady, have announced that their
daughter is not at present engaged
to captain Hobson, the hero of the-
Merrimac.
Bloomington, III , July 26.—It
is suspected that Captain Richmond
Peat non Hobson,who baa been com¬
ing to Bloomington very often of
late, is going to marry a well
known and beautiful young lady
who lives in this city.
Dayton, Ohio, July 26— Cap¬
tain Richmond Person Hobson
has, during the past few months,
been making frequent visits at the
home of one of this city.s most
charming young ladies. Her friends
are whispering things, but no foi-
mal announcement has yet been
made.
Waco, Tex., July zb .—Hero
Hobson nas twice during the putd
six months been seen in this town.
It is is understood by the friends
of a certain lovely young lady who
is a leader of Waco’s most aristo-
era tic circle that Captaiq| Hobson
does not come here for his health.
Macon, Ga., July 26.—Here
Hobson seems of late to have «ie-
velepod a remarkable fondness for
this town, He comes here to visit
every few weeks, always being en¬
tertained at the home of one of the
oldest and most arisUcratic faini-
families. The beautiful young
of the hero’s host might
give the public a piece'of interest
mg news if she cared to do so.
The above telegrams appeared
recently in the Chicago Record-
Herald, iw*dof course, their authen¬
ticity will uot be disputed, though
it might be. It is evident that Cap-
tain Hobson is operating in a wide
territory, From Maine to Texas,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
f.om hell lo breakfast, he takes his
amatory way* When he is not kis-
sing young women iti platoons or
rescuing them from watery graves,
it would seem from the above tel-
egrains that he is booking them for
matrimony, We don’t altogether
‘understand it. What is the cap¬
tain’s game? Is he the solicitor
for a matrimonial agency, or does
be propose to marry a chorus? It

Bryan Against Crisp
Allred Henry Lewis, editor of
the Onlooker, a prominent review
published in New York crty^ha*
an article in the current issue of
that magazine, in which he says
that Bryan refused to vote for
Crisp for Speaker of the House be
cause lie was a rebel. Mr. I^ewis
was at one time a close personal
friend of Mr. Bryan, and is vet his
friend. In the article he says:
“From beginning to end, on the
last as on every ballot, Mr. Bryan
cast his vote for Mr, Springer.
While Mr. Springer, through a
score of ballots which preceded the
end was himself withdrawn as a
candidate and in the caucus voting
for Mr. Crisp, Mr. Bryan sat wast¬
ing his suffrage—firing his lonely,
selfish arrow in the air!—on Mr.
Springer.
4 1 Later I myself asked him to
giv»* me hi V reasons for so strange a
course. Mr. Bryan was younger
and not so skilled of craft as now.
•With an air ineffably cunning he
reminded me that those four gen¬
tlemen, other than Mr. Springer,
namely, Messrs. Mills,Crisp,Hatch
and McMiiiin, were all of them ex-
Confedeiate soldiers; and he closed
with the unctious assurance that he
was of no mind to go back to his
distiict, where abode many ex-sol¬
diers of the Union, with the record
of having voting for a one time
rebel. Every other Northern Dem¬
ocrat was taking that chance—if
chance it was-—that. But Mr.
Bryan, too selfish, to crafty, too
much the lover of himself and too
little the lover of his country, to
face this invented risk of supports
ing a confederacy a third of a cen¬
tury after its death, for his own
mean safety threw away his vote
and his voice in a game where—
fairly—a throne was the stakes and
an empire being fought for. * )
In commenting on the above, the
Savannah Morning News says :
Of course it is not a matter of
much consequence now what Mr.
Bryan’s reasons for voting against
Mr. Crisp were, because it is not
probable that he will again be the
candidate of the Democratic party
for President, but we feel safe in
saying that Mr. Cleveland would
never have voted against Mr.
Crisp for any such reason, if the

opportunity to do so had been pre-
sented to him. And yet Mr. Bryan
is constantly criticising Mr. Cleve-
land, saying that he is a selfish
politician, who thinks of nothing
but himself, and that he is not a
Democrat.
If Mr. Lewis lias done Mr. Bryan
an injustice the latter ought to
make the fact known. We are sure
that there is no desire in the South
to do him an injustice. The South
has supported him loyally in two
campaigns and would be glad to
have the statement in the Onlooker
contradicted. r The refusal to sup-
port Mr. Crisp for the reason al-
leged in that magazine indicates
a degree of selfishness greater than
any that is to be found in the poli¬
tical career ot Mr. Cleveland.
THREEFOLD LIGHTNING.
An Ancient Belief Coupled With Mod
ern Scientific Decrees.
The Etruscans of old believed in
three kinds of lightning—one inca¬
pable of doing any injury, another
more mischievous in its character
and consequently only to be issued
with the consent of a quorum of
twelve gods, and a third carrying
mischief in its train and for which
a regular decree was required from
the highest divinities in the Etrus-
can skies Curiously enough, mod-
ern scientists, following the lead
aken by Arago, have also decreed
hat the varieties of lightning are
threefold The first comprehends
hat in which the discharge appears
like a long luminous line, bent into
angles and zigzags and varying in
complexion from white to blue, pur-
pie or red. i his kind is known as
forked lightning, because it some¬
times divides into two or more
branches before reaching the earth.
The second differs from the-first
in the range of surface over
the flash is diffused. From this cir¬
cumstance the discharge Ts desig¬
nated sheet lightning, * and if any
real parallel can be instituted be-
tween the Etruscan and modern va¬
rieties this may be said to-^corre¬
spond with the innocuous lightning
which any single god of Etruria
could launch at his pleasure.
The third class are not only re¬
markable for their eccentricities,
but they have been made the sub¬
ject of considerable contention.
They differ so widely fr^m the
ordinary manifestations that many
meteorologists have denied their
right to be treated as legitimate
lightnings. They neither assume
the form of lohg lines on the one
, hand . nor of sheets Oi the ,,
names on
other, but exhibit themselves as
balls or globular Jumps of fire.—

Ancient Foot Coverings.
If we are to judge of the foot cov¬
erings handed down to us as relics
from the courts, of France, Spain,
England and Germany, we can but
conclude that for an extremely long
period of time, probably eight or
ten centuries, the dressing of the
human foot has been, even in the so
called civilized countries, but slight-
lv different and onlv in degree from
the customs of the followers of Con-
fucius for thousands of years.
Fortunately for art, unfortunate-

iy for the history of civilization, so
called, the artist of olden as well as
modern times has not copied except
in portraiture the cramped foot, the
narrow toe toe, the uie elevated eie\aiea heel neei ana and
the pinched instep, which have long
accompanied the human foot. It
seems reasonable to suppose,
ever, that the Roman artist and
critic and the Grecian as well fully
attempted to give us the perfect
foot as found in the well developed
Grecian woman of the day.
The sandals worn at the time
when Rome was in her splendor
were undoubtedly so constructed
as to afford ample opportunity for
the development of the foot and
exhibit the beauty of its conforma-
tion.
Moral Effect of Diets.
An exclusively pork diet tends in-
fallibly to pessimism. Beef, if per-
severed in for months, makes a man
strong, energetic and audacious,
says Pearson’s Weekly. A mutton
diet continued for any length of
time tends to melancholia, while
veal eaters gradually lose energy
and gayety. The free use of eggs
and milk tends to make women
healthy and vivacious. Butter used
in excess renders its users phleg¬
matic and lazy. Apples are excel-
lent for brain workers, and every-
body who lias much intellectual
to do should eat them freely.
Potatoes, on the contrary, render
one dull, invidious and lazy when
eaten constantly and in excess. To
preserve the memory even to an ad-
vanced age nothing is better than
mustard.
Great Men Who Danced.
The ancients regarded dancing as
a necessary accomplishment. Soc¬
rates learned the art in his old age,
while Plato in his “Commonwealth”
advocated the establishment of
dancing schools. .The Romans cele¬
brated their victories and pastoral
festivals by elaborate dances. They
excelled in pantomime dances, from
which the ballet was evolved. The
Emperor Domitian forbade the sen¬
ators to dance and for so doing re¬
moved several members from the
senate. Grave statesmen and poli¬
ticians of high degree have excelled
in the oldest of the arts.

NATURAL SMUGGLERS.
Women Cat.not or Will Not Under
stand the Customs Laws.
While he admits that our custom*
regulations are odious and mors
rigid tlian those of any other coun¬
try in the world, William E. Curtis
declares that the greater part of the
trouble of which returning travelers
complain is due to their own folly
in endeavoring to elude the vig¬
ilance of the inspectors, for people
who are detected in tricks always
have to pay the penalty. He says:
“People cannot be made to under¬
stand that every article they have
purchased it is who abroad, it is for no matter what what they
or or
paid for it, must be tajfed according
to the laws of congress. If it is
only a glove or a photograph or a
little memento of insignificant val¬
ue, it is required to pay duty, just as
if it were brought in by the carload.
That law was made by congress and
not by the inspector who meets you
at the dock or the collector of cus¬
toms, to whom he is subordinate, or
the secretary of the treasury, who
frames the regulations. But aver¬
age travelers seem to be unable
to get it out of their minds, particu¬
larly the women, that the inspectors
who examine their trunks are im¬
pertinent and offensive intruders.
“Travelers returning from Europe
can and get cheerfully through the customs easily
if they will exercise
a little patience and be honest and
candid. If they ate looking for
trouble, they can find plenty of it,
but it is a great deal better for them
to accept the situation, obey the
law and avoid quarrels with the in¬
“The latter are required to per¬
form a disagreeable duty. They are
employed by the government to pre¬
vent smuggling, and their living as
well as their reputation depends
upon their vigilance. Most of them
are experienced and shrewd detec¬
tives, who are accustomed to deal
with people who are trying to evade
the law and the payment of their
just dues. They are naturally sus¬
picious. No one could serve many
months as a custom house inspector
without having his faith in human¬
ity and especially in the feminine
gender entirely dispelled. Women
are natural smugglers. They can¬
not or will not understand the law.”
8ulphur In the Mineral Kingdom.
Sulphur occurs very widely dis¬
tributed in the mineral kingdom,
partly free and partly combined
with other elements. The free sul¬
phur is either found pure in regu¬
larly formed crystals or intimately
mixed with earthy matters. In its
native state sulphur is largely found
in Sicily and Italy and as a general
rule in abundance in volcanic dis¬
tricts. The brittleness of sulphur
renders the cleavage imperfect. Sul¬
phuric acid is an important combi¬
nation and a very dangerous one in
inexperienced hands. Sulphur com*
bin 3 d with a number of elements,
such as iron, copper,‘lead, etc., fur-
nishes the sulphides. In the vege-
ta . » b » le . kingdom • sulphur tt • small 11

constituent of the albuminous bod¬
ies and of certain volatile irritant
oils. Moreover, the vegetable juices
contain it in the form of certain
sulphates.
