An Old Veteran of Two War* Resents an
Insult This Morning.
Atlanta, Dec. 28.—This morning an
old veteran of the Mexican and Confede
rate wars was insulted.
With these men. insult is always fol
lowed with a blow. Buena Vista and
Manassas do not permit them to swallow
insults.
This particular veteran had hired
man to repair the sidewalk i*> front of his
home on Marietta street. In some alter
cation the man applied to the veteran an
epithet which no man hears without
feeling the temperature of his blood rise»
and the veteran struck him.
Although he is more than eighty
years of age, he has the vigor of forty;
and when the man who was struck
picked himself up he felt as if he had
been struck bj lightning.
A policeman was at hand and he ar
rested the man. the insulter,and marched
him off.
It may be mentioned incidentally that

The Negroes Emigrating Very Rapidly.
It the tide keeps on, all the negroes
will have left the black belt in a few
years.
“You may not know,” said a man of
prominence in railroad circles, yesterday
evening, “that if the present rate c! ern
igratidn keeps up fur a few years loager.
there will be no more negroes, to speak
•if, in Alabama’s fertile black belL
“Well, it is so. They are going to the
mineral section, to the north, to Texas
to California and lo every other place
they can -get money enough to carry
them. Singular ns it may 6eem, the
more the negro gets of education he is
tilled wi*h an irresistible desire to travel
md never is satisfied until he goes some
where outside the boundaries of the
state in which he lives.”
“Is education the sole reaso-i for their
going?” put in somebody.
“Oh, no. The railroad agents, with
their slick tongues, and the gaudy pam
pblets illustrative of the. advantages of
each section, now-distributed,all contrib
ute in a measure to the result.
“The negroes who leave are not all of
the good class either, for they inlluenc*
t great many others to follow up their
footsteps and move out of Alabama to
-.ome other section. There nre now in
California over a hundred negroes who
have gone from the city of Montgomery
atone during the past three months, and
there will no doubt be a great many
mure to go there before the winter is
>ver. From reading the letters of those
who are there, the negroes imagine that
state JO be a heaven on earth, and a
number of them are now hoarding up
-•nough money to buy a ticket.
“For what do they leave the farm
lands they have lived on all their lives to
>b to the mineral region?”
“This is doe in part to the restless,
shitting nature of the' negro. It is also
utributablc to the idea that in the mines
much higher wages are paid than in the
- field, while the women think there are
’no'cookso£house servants up there.lt
is this stream from the black belt more
than the released convicts which has
built up Buzzard Roost, Pigeon Roost,
Scratch Ankle and the other low negro
suburbs of Binflingham. Then, too, the
railroad contractors building roads

carried hands away by the car load to
work on the railroads, because they
could be hired cheaper. All these

a receiver.
In its brief career it managed to con

, “Give the dogs a chance!"
They and many other disconnected
tentences came from a crowd of ladies
raid gentlemen who, well mounted and
close upon a pack of eager hounds, were
:shilling into a thick .patch of under
brush in the center of tlie Arroyo Seco, a
dry canon or river just back of Passa-
Gena. Cal.
Here the gulch was well filled with tall
trees from whoso branches there fell in
rich festoons masses of wild grape and
clematis that formed ropes that deftly
caught riders beneath the chin, and so
tied up the dogs that they often became
fouled and yelped and howled in impo
tent rage. The party had started half a
mile below in the clearing and had fol
lowed up the eager dogs that had now
treed game of some kind, and, as they
gathered about the broken poplar high
Up in one of the branches, there appeared
b long, litho body clinging to tho limb,
While over the sido peered th® ugly face
cl the wildcat. Excitement liau been at
fever pitch when the hounds struck the
trail, but now that tho animal was in
fall view, it fairly boiled over, even the
horses appearing to be carried away
by it.
“Stand back, ladies!” shouted tho
master of tho hounds, who carried a
light rille, “sometimes a cat will jump
for her life, and they will scratch when
they land.”
.The ladie3 fell back a littlo, and a
youngster in the party volunteered to
climb tho tree and dislodgo tho common
enemy. Handing the bridle of his borso
to a rider, ho seized tho pendent grape-
vin.'z aud swung up into the tree, and a
few moments later was making his way
along tho branch toward tho crouching
cat. She was so intently engaged in
looking at tho dogs that at first 6hc did
not seo him, but when lie rounded tho
trunk sho suddenly caught sight of the
new enemy, drew back with a quick
growl, glanced this way and that, as if
measuring the chances, and, perhaps,
would have jumped, when the climber
dcltly strzck her from behind and down
eho went, with a scream of rago into the
red mouths below. The blood and fur
Hew, for puss was game, and not a few
good dogs backed out, wiping tlioir heads
and ragged ears. But tho game was up,
and it was with great difficulty that the
skin was saved for the rug which is tho
trophy of the wildest hunt.
Hunting this short tailed feline is a
featuio cf southern California out door
sports. The deep canons that radiate
down from the Siem Madres form their
retreat and tlint of large gamo in genera).
After a rain the hunts are organized, and
then tho paw- marks ore distinctly seen
end the scent fresh, and, as the storm
clouds blow away from the mountain
sides and the warm sun comes out tho
bay of the hounds of some sportsman is
nearly always heard. Tho wildcat of
tins country fa a large, powerful animal,
approaching the lynx, also found here, in
size and general appearance, and largo
enough to inflict dangerous wounds upon
man or beast.
On one occasion the hounds came upon
n fresh scent- in an extremely narrow
placo in tho canon, where precipitous
rocks roso on one side and heavy brush
on the other. Tho dogs rushed into the
latter, and a moment later a large cat
bounded into the narrow stream and
began an ineffectual scramble up tho
rocky Bides. A bullet caught her before
she had gono thirty feet, and, turning
with a snarl of rage, sho leaped directly
into tbs air, foil upon tlie neck of a
broncho, dismounted tho rider in the
melee, and before sho could bo ilislodged
tore and lacerated tho animal in a fear
ful manner. Kittens aro often sqcn in
play to tako one another in their mouths
and to scratch with their hind feet, and
it was tliis plan that was adopted by tho
cat. Sbo fastened her daws into tho
broacho’s neck, and with her sharp hind
claws ripped and clawed until the animal
was a mass of blood and lacerated flesh,
then fell among tho dogs, to be tom to
picocs amid a protest that showed it to bo
among Hie gamest animals.
“You may talk about your mountain
lion,” said an old hunter os wo roGo
slowly up the Arroyo ono early morning

McDonald, a ship carpenter, living |n
this city, buried his infant daughter in ^
common wooden shoe box covered
cheap flannel. Several years ago
Donald's wife died, but he failed to
thcrundertaker his bill of $97. When
the child died he went to an undertaker,
who examined the list kept by the local
undertakers’ association, and he found
that McDonald was still in arrears to one
of its members. The bill for burying
McDonald's wife was presented, nut Be
refused to pay it, and became very an
gry. The undertaker then refused ?®
proceed, and all of McDonald's efforts to
secure an undertaker failed. ' He then
obtained an order to get a coffin at tlie
almshouse, but the superintendent there
refus d to recognize the order when he
learned that McDonald was well able to
pay for a coffin. Finally, in desperation,
the shoe box was procured and fitted up,
and the body was followed to the Catho

>atch of yesterday from New
New York, lice. 20.—The executive
committee of the associated democratic
clubs of the United States sends out a
report in which the causes of the recent
democratic defeat are discussed, and a
set of principles to govern tha campaign
of 1892 are laid down. The report says
that the national association was formed
too late for the most effective campaign
work during the presidential contest.
“The workingmen stood firmly by the
democracy,” the report continues, “a-*
may be seen by a careful examination
of ihe returns from m anufacturing cen
ters. Had the actual club organization
of the democracy permeated the agri
cultural districts as well, Cleveland and
Thurman would have had an electoral
as well as the popular majority. The
honest and intelligent farmers who suf
fer the most and gain the least from the
present excess of taxation, would have
come forward in blocks of 50 to meet
the mercenary and unpatriotic floaters
in their blocks of five.”
The committee warns the democracy
that the aimissiou of territories into tlie
union and the change m the representa
tion in the states consequent upon Die
census of 1800 will “change the relative
power of each state and group of states
and will broaden the national contest.”
The commit! ee declares that the demo
cratic party proposes to fight from Maine
to California, and upon tlie same issues
as in the past campaign, upon the prin
ciples of Thomas Jefferson, its object
still being:
“To preserve the constitution of the
United S ates, the autonomy of the
states, local self-government and free
dom of elections; to resist revolutionary
changes and tlie centralization of power;
to oppose the imposition of taxes beyond
the necessities of government economi
cally administered; to promote economy
in all branches of the public service; to
, oppose unnecessary commercial restric
tions for the benefit of the few at the ex
pense of the many; to oppose class legis
lation, which despoils labor and builds
up monopoly; and maintainin^violate the
fundamental principle of democracy,
equality before the law.”
The report says that the democratic
party will endeavor to bring about the
necessary reduction of the revenues and
the necessary simplification and reform
of the tariff, without harm to the busi
ness interests of the country and without
injury to any workingman.
“The two arms of monopoly—bribery
and intimidation—must be struck down.’’
The democratic defeat was “republican
misrepresentation and the effects of enor
mous sums of money handled by the
most corrupt and efficient partisan or
ganization ever known in this country.”
But the republican party “lacks the
moral power necessary to continued sue
cess.”
The committee reminds the party that
“the next struggle for control of the na
tional government will begin, not in
1892, but-in the congressional and legis
lative elections of 1890.”
The association hopes there will be a
club in every county cf the union. All
clubs are requested to report fully to the
ZQeetings 01 the general committee,
which will be held at an early day.
Until that meeting, the committee will
maintain its business office at 51 William
street, this city, and. will attend to all
communications.
The report fa signed by Robert Griei
Monroe, chairman of the executive com
mittee.

A Ghastly Find.
Madison, Wis., Dec. 26.—Two men
fishing in the Sugar river, near Mount
Vernon, twenty miles from here, found
a bag containing a- human head sunk in
the river. The head was identified as
that of William Cryst, who has been
employed as a cheese maker in a village
factory. An investigation resulted in
the strongest circumstantial evidence
pointing to Joseph Davidson, a cheese
maker, as the murderer. The motive ol
the crime was probably to get possession
of $400 which the murdered man pos
sessed. ..Davidson is missing.
