Where Money Didn’t Count.
A lawyer had come all the way from
California to pay a SIO,OOO legacy over
to Uncle Jerry Hopefield, who had
lived all his life in a little town in
Ohio, and after breakfast two or three
of us were invited logo along and wit
ness the transfer When we reachid
illo,house Uncle Jerry was tightening
ud tile hoops ou the rain barrel, while
his wife had gone to see a sick neigh
bor. They had been fully identified
the dav before as the p'o'per parties,
and now the lawyer said:
“Well, Uncle Jerry. I want, to
haud you that money and get a re
ceipt and be off this mornig.
“I,m kinder busy just now,” said
the old man, as he stopped hammer
ing for a moment.
‘•Yes. but I have SIO,OOO here for
you. I don’t believe there’s a man in
the world who wouldn’t stop work
long enough to sign a receipt for : u :h
a fortune”
•‘Mebbe not, but it looks like rain
and I want to git this barrel fixed
right away. Can’t von come over in
about ai. hour?” “Look here, man
but did you e ver see. SIO,OOO in all
your life? asked the lawyer, as he
opened the satchel and displayed a
big package of new greenbacks,
“No, I never did,” repliad Uncle
Jerry, as he pounded away.
“Did you ever have a thousand dol
lars of your own?”
“Lands, no!”
•‘Never had a hundred all at once,
did you?”
“Never. Durn that hoop, but it
don’t want to go on!”
“I must ask you to get this busmes-s
over as soon as possible,” contiued
the lawyer, as the old man kept’ at
his work.
“But it’s going to lain.”
“Yes, but here’s your money.”
“And I’ve got to get this bar’l fixed.
“It won’t take over ten minutes to
fix up our business. Run along and
fetch your wife.”
See here,” said Tuck* Jerry, as he
; down his hummer and wiped'the
k his n ok. Mariar has gone
t’s to be gone an hour. Bc
■ -! .1! she said I must tinker
up tins ruin parrel.”
•‘But can’t you stop your tinkering
to hand e SIO,OUO in cold cash!’ v x
claimed tue lawyer hi indignent tones.
“Yes, yes, I kin Stop work; but
what about Mariar?”
“W eil. what about her?”
‘•Why she,a come home expeettn
this bar’) to he all tinkered up, and if
she found it wasn’t, them SIO,OOO
wouldn’t hold her no more’ii a tow
string would hold a boss. Shed jest
sh ive me clean down among the cab
bages, and jump on the bar’l with
both feet aud squash it all to squash,
and fur the next week I’d have to
/alk around on tiptoe and eat my
meals in the woodshed.
As Tlse Celestials See Us
A Chinese writer in on" of the
publications of his own couutry has
summed up the peculantes of the
American people in a paragraph as
follows: “ They live months without
eating a mouthful of rice; they eat
bullocks and sheep to enormous quan
tities-they have to bathe frequently;
the men Iress a'l alike, amt to ludge
from their apearance, they are all
coolies, neither are they ever to be
seen carrying a fan or an umbrella,
for they manifest their ignorant con
tempt for these insignia of a gentle
man by leaving them entirely to wom
en; none of them have fingernails
mare than an eighth of an inch; they
eat meat with knives and prongs; they
never enjoy theinse'ves bv sitting
quietly on their ancestors graves, but
jump around and kick balls ns if paid
to uoit, and ’hey have no dignity, f >r
they may be lound walking with wom
en.”—Syracuse Standard.

Privation in Cuba.
The trials and privations of our
soldiers m Cuba are unlike those that
came within the expetienee of our
array in the civil war. They are un
like those that have tried the patience
endurance, and patriotism of the vet
errans of large experience on tho
frontier. This applies more to cli
mate conditions than to marches and
battles. During the civil war thor e
was much campaigning under the
worst conditions possible in this coun
try. In the long Indian campaigns in
Arizona, New Mexico, and to the
north soldiers were severely tr ed.
There was snllertng in these mount
ain campaigns from heat as well ns
from the cold, in the civil war move
ments were on a magnificent scale and
disasters wime sometimes like hurri.
canes or like earthquakes, but most of
our great battles were fought undet
conditions that cannot obtain it Cuba-
The army of General Shufter is un
doubtedly as well organized and ns
well equipped as any corps or army
that participated in any great battle
of the civil war. The men. are con
trolled by as high a spirit and as fine
a sentiment as were any of the great
armies that achieved so much rep
utation in the ’6os. But men are sib
jected to more trying conditions in
some essential particulars. Soldiers
< f experience will appreciate these and
give credit to the men who are sus.
taining themselves so creditably.
—From the New York Advertiser.
We Have Long Wanted Cuba.
That we will in good taith cany
out our promise not to annex Cuba
forcibly in Ibis war, but will use our
power to establish republican govern
ment upon the island may not be
doubted. That this republican gov
ernment when established, will invi-
tablv, sooner or later, stub nmalg 'ms.
tiou witliours, is almost equally suie.
That when these overtures are volun
tarily made they will be received in
friendly spirit is hardly less certa n.
We have had our eyes ou Cuba a
long time. In the July North Ameri
can Review Fredrie Bancroft de
clars:
“Some of the wisest public men
since the early part ot this century
had believed that Cuba should be an
nexed at the first opportunity, Jef
fcroon thought it desirable because it
co. Id be defended with ui a navy. In
1823 John, Quincy Adams, as sec
letary of state, declared that Porto
Rico and Cuba - were natu.al append
ages to this continent, and that Cuba
had become an object of transcedent
importance to the commercial ana
political interests of our Union He
believed that it would naturally gi an
tale to the US when released from
Spain. Polk endeavored in vain to
purchase it. After the election of
I’ierc the Democrats made its acquit
ition one of their aims. They tried
negotiation, but when that gave no
promise of success, they threatened
and argued themselves into believing
that we had arignt to seize the island
if Spain would not stl! it.
The Cotton Situation.
Mr. Alfred R. Shebperson of New
York, writes a communication to 1 ex
tile America upon the cotton situation
in which he takes the position lhatco t
ton compared with other products is
the cheapest agricultural product in
the world today. He compares the
present status with the big crop o
18G4-95 and says the situation is much
stronger. Up tc this time about 2,
500,000 bales more of our crop have
come into sight than at the corres
ponding time last year, and yet the
visible supply of American cotton in
the world is only 6000.000 bales great-
Cotton,
like every other crop, needs
nourishment.
A fertilizer containing nitro
gen, phosphoric acid, and not
less than 3% °f actual
i
Potash,
will increase the crop and im
prove the land.
Our books tell all about the subject. They
are free to any farmer.
GERMAN KALI WORKS,
93 Nassau St., New York.
!er than a year ago. The receipts from
this crop have peon 1,1000,000 hales
greater than to the corresponding time
in 1805, the visible supply of Alter
lean cotton in the world is now 000,
000 bales less than at this date in
1895.'
These figures, Mr Sbepperson de
clare?, show the statistical position of
cotton to be stronger than at this time
in 1805, while prieas are five-eigths
of a cent lower than then, and one
and three-eights cents lower than a
year ago.
The Old the New.
Ti e volunteers who were encamped
at ChaUauoogoo werejVuting around
talking about the dangers and trials of
a military life, when an ex-Confeder
site soldier came loafing up the lines.
He engaged in conversation with
some of the recruits and heard their
complaints about the bruised shoul
ders that they had from practicing with
ihe new army rifles.
“Do they? enquired the Johnny
reb.
“Well,” said one of the beys in
blue, “they seem tome to act more
like pugilist. The first one I fired off
today hit. me everywhere from the
solar plexus to the tip of the chin, and
if I hadn’t, been in training I believe
it woul.d have knocked me out.”
“Dm, drawled the old soldier, “but
did yeu ever flue off one of the old
muskets that wete used in the civil
war?
“I can’t say that I did. Did they
kick.
“Kick? The first one I fired off not
only kicked me, bat Knocked me
down and I do believe that if our ser
geant hadn’t had thu presence of rmr.d
to pull the din ned thing off it would
have stomped the life out of me.”
And after that the canteens were
emptied.—Judge.
Germany and tlio Philippines.
There is on.y sue rea oil for think-
ing taut Germany is preparing to
interfere at Manilla for the purpose
of preventing us from acquiring pos
session of the Philippines, and that
is the number of warships which she
has collected tliertv There are five
of the e warships, aud it is stated
t t there are two others in Chinese
waters, which have been ordered
there,
Germany, howevsr, says she does
not intend to interfere, and there is
no good reason, except the one men
tioned, to suppose she is uot acting
in good taith.
It was said some days ago that she
haii decided to land marines at Ma
nila to protect German residents and
property, but that statement may
have been without any substantial
foundation. Girman ii t rests in
Manila are in no danger, and Geruaa
ny knows ibey are not' If’ there
fore, she should land marines it would
be with some other object in view
than to protect German residents and
property, To land marines, how
ever- would be a hostile act, aud
would i e treated by Admiral Dewey
as such.
But if Gc-many has any intention
of mlerfesing at Manila she will take
a second thought < f the advisability
cf doing so, now that the first part of
Gen Merritt’s army has arrived there,
and has been landed at Cavite.
Within a very few days the second
part of his army will have arrived,
and with it the powerful monitor
Munterey, With the Monterey to
assist him, Admiral Dewey will have
a naval force at his command tha
can easily resist all of the warships
which Germany has in the cast
Germany knows very well that
even with a war with Spain on their
hands, the United States wouldn’t
hesitate to resent her interference in
their affairs, It is probable there
ford, h twe shall not hear any more
at present about trouble with Ger
many, but when our war with Spain
i ende ', and the question of what
shall be done with the Philippines
! comes up for consideration, she may
claim a share of the islands, and may

SCHOOL BOOKS.
The Merits of Some Popular
Books Pointed out.
BALDWIN READERS
For years there has been a demand
for a series of Readers which would
meet the requirements of the common
schools of Georgia.
Baldwin’s Readers fill the bill.
They are not toy picture hooks
with habv talk of “The cat on the
Mat,” etc., hut n>-e written so as to be
most he pful to the teacher and at the
same time so as to advance the pupil
in the most approved manner. In the
higher Readers of Baldwin’s series,
the pupil is introduced to the best lit
erature of our language The binding
is perfect. They are the most popu
lar readers in Georgia although only
one year old. In every sense they' are
modern and and up to date, yet they !
are by far the cheapest readers on the
market.
MILNE’S ARITHMETIC.
The whole subject ot Arithmetic,
feated in the most approved manner,
with all the mordern methods, and
innumerable helps to teachers and
pupils, beginning with number work
for children and closing with the most
advanced phases of the subject—all
n two books' price of both 95c.
These books seek to present the
subject in a simple manner and at the
same time they are exhaustive and
comprehensive.
Conklin’s grammar.
Conklin’s Grammars form a two
hook series. The fiist book, “Practi
cal Lessons in Language” is what its
name implies, practical lessons in
language, leading the child by a
knowledge and use of language to the
second book.
English Grammar and Composition
This second book is a complete, tech
nical English Grammer; Analysis,
synthesis and parsing go hand-in-hard
Diagraming is presented ill a sample,
concise manner, but may be omitted
if the teacher so desires. No book
yet published presents grammar in
such an attractive manner; or teaches
it more thoroughly, and at the same
lime gives so much of composition.
redway’s natural geographies
The ablest critics pronounce Red-
way’s Natural Geographies the best
ever given the people of this country.
It is really a “natural series, introduc
ing the child to the science in the
most natural manner, leading the pu
pil to love Geography rather than
hate it. It is uot a compilation of
dry facts, but is so armnged as to be
intensely interesting from beginning
to end.
The Natural Geographies make the
subject anew science, No school
book ever offered the public has grown
so rapidly in public favor.
