THE AROUB, When Berner came to Jackson He was loaded up for bear. But he found only weasels And odor in the air. But when he shelled the woods a bit They began to slink away, And now we are breathing easy And are happy on the way. Mr. David Spencer is smiling this morning over a brand new boun cing baby boy. Three cheers for David! Miss McKie will give a recital in the Jackson Institute Chapel Friday evening, B.3oo’clook, complimentary to the pat rons and friends of the Institute. All are cordially invited to attend. David B, Ilill, Dayid be governor of New York, Yes sir: David B. Hill is the next nominee for governor of New York, well such things will happen even in the best of families. Boze Bell knocked Lawson Maston on the head last night, cutting a bad gash which was dressed by Dr. W. C. Bryant. Lawson can’t be killed when he is drunk and has more sense to fight when he is sober. The Dalton Argifls: “Politics is lively oyer in northeast Georgia. The editors over there are cal ling each other ‘lying puppies.’ They ought to go easy if they don’t they may become personal. The musical commences at 8.30 and will therefore not interfere with the ser vices at the Baptist church, which com mences at 7.25 and is over by 8.25. The The entertainment is free and will be quite a treat to our people by Miss McKie, In advance we return thanks. The services at the Baptist church every night are warming up and becom more interesting. The probability is they will run on next week. We hope for a glorious revival and that much good may be accomplished. The Jackson Institute is one of the best educational institutions in the coun try, and the day is not far distant when it will be as much honor to a young man or lady to hold a diploma from it as from any other institution in the State. Two of its faculty are graduates from its sacred walls, and they are teachers who are second to none. The idea is held by a numerous class of people concerning currency expansion that seventy millions of people, as a nation, by making themselves as individ uals, a free gift of a certaiu number of dollars created out of uothing, will double their prosperity.” On the same line of reasoning we have only to continue the process indefinately until every man, woman and child in the country is a mil lionaire NEVER HAPPY. When there ain’t no wind a-blowing, We’er a-workin’ of a fan; When the cyclone is a goiu’ We’re a-runnin all we can! Jest the queerest kind o’people! Never knowin’ what is best; The folks that’s livin’ southward Is a-longin’ fer the west! The fellers on the border, They’re jest mint with the drouth, An’ they’re pullin’ stakes an’ packin’ An’ a-headin’ fer the south! It jest beats the whole creation— Always somethin’ that we lack; Swap a palace fer plantation, Then give “boot” to get it back! • F. L.S. GYMKHANA IN LONDON. Bow the English Are Amusing Them selves with an Indian Sport. The gymkhana, a sort of gymnastic hash, in which the participants are ex pected to exercise their ingenuity in devising all sorts of unheard of per formances, has been introduced into England from India. The sport is very popular in that part of the orient, but is little known in western countries. The idea was launched in London the other day, and according to the papers there the lovers of sport have gone crazy over it. The most amusing event on the programme was a cos tume race. Seated on side saddles and attired in dresses of the gayest colors and the most startling cut five men went round the oourse, which included a bushed hurdle. Two ballet girls (both men) covered their ponies’ quar ters with voluminous skirts, a Dolly Varden and baby in bed gown and sun bonnet, and raced for tne fence, and Charley’s Aunt brought up the rear. Another feature of the day was the ob stacle race, in which a vqgiety of ob jects likely to put ponies on were ar ranged round the course. The one that attracted people most was the series of paper screens through which the ponies had to force their way. The head-to-tail race and the handkerchief dash were mirth-provoking features. In the former men rode at lively speed with their faces toward the horses’ tails, and in the latter a rider dropped a lady's handkerohief on the ground, then at a gallop picked it up without leaving the saddle.

September 27.—Couriers are running hither and thither with bills announcing a railroad tax meeting in the city hall this afternoon. Colonel N. G. Kelsev. ex-president of the Ohio Valley railroad, will address the citi zens. A reporter interviewed Deputy United States Marshal W. C. Dyei. who returned from U niontown this morning. He saw several of the men who are to aid Blackwell in the collection of the tax. He was not favorably impressed with the personnel of the eomthander in-chiefs assistants, most of them being young fellows whose habits are said to be careless. It is hinted on the streets that traitors are in camp who have sold out to the bondholders and are talking compromise. Although their names are prominent, they may suffer if it should prove true. The citizens are still in great suspense and excitement, as they are not sure of the movements of the collector, and consequently know not when to expect him. FIGHTING THE COMBINE. Kentuckians Against the Recent Raise of Insurance Rates in That State. Lexington, Ky.. September 27. —The fire insurance combine which has in creased the insurance rates on business property in Kentucky and Tennessee is meeting with opposition here from the citizens and business men. About fifty' of the leading men in Lexington met last night to protest against this increase in the insurance rating in Lexington. Many millions of dollars were repre sented, since some of the wealthiest men in Kentucky were present, and the protest certainly means something not -o be made light of by the insurance men.

It Was Built to Break Through the Spanish Lines. The idea of protected ships, such as the modern men-of-vvar, is by' no means an absolutely new one. This is proved, says the Western Mail, of Cardiff, by the fact that an armored vessel was constructed, though crudely, of course, as far back as 1585 by a shipwright of Antwerp during the wars between the Spaniards and the Dutch. In the sum mer of 1585 Antwerp was invaded by the Spaniards both by land and water, and the people of Antwerp built the first protected ship on record in an at tempt to break through the line of be siegers in the river. It was a craft of unusual size. w.ith flat bottom, its sides armed with iron plates fastened into great beams of w’ood. When finished the builders thought it a floating castle, impregnable to the artillery and mis siles of those day's, which should crush all opposition, as it contained a great number of men, some of whom were placed like sharpshooters in the tops of the masts, and the rest protected by the bulwarks. They w r ere so confident that the craft w’ould rout the enemy that they called it “Finis Belli,” thinking it no doubt would put an end to the war. Unfor tunately', howev'er, the early ironclad proved a disastrous failure, getting stuck upon a bank of the Scheldt after a very short and unhappy career. The Spaniards were greatly amused with the untimely end of the vessel, while the brave burghers of Antwerp changed the name from “Finis Belli” to “Per dito Expensal,” or “Money Thrown Away.” The crew then deserted the ship, and the Spaniards, after defeat ing the Netherlanders in a naval bat tle, carried the monster in triumph to the camp of Alexander, of Parma, where it became one of the sights of the times. The city of Antwerp w'as taken August 17, 1585, and so the first iron clad on record came to an unfortunate end. CROWN PRINCES PRESENT. Those of England. Russia and Austria Dancing at the Same Ball. It is not often that the heirs to three of the world’s most powerful empires are dancing at the same hall, so a quadrille d’honneur at Buckingham palace the other night was a mem orable occasion, says London Figaro. The prince of Wales and crown princes of Russia and Austria were footing it together, and subsequently the Aus trian archduke and the czarowitz were noticed waltzing with their backs al most torching each other. The heir of the czar is very fond of dancing, a taste which is shared to the full by his betrothed, Princess Alix of Hesse. The Austrian prince is inclined to be awk ward, and managed to entangle his spur with disastrous consequence to the gown of Princess Louise of Batten berg. He is described as a taciturn young man and rather inclined to be morose. During his visit to England he avoided all the society he could and really only went to court because he could not very well stay away. At the state ball he managed to wander to a comparatively obscure corner, to gether with the Japanese prince, where the two royal gentlemen doubtless consoled each other with anecdotes. Another prince to whom the Austrian deigned to be civil was a roy r al high ness from Siam, whom he delighted by addressing in a few words picked up by' the archduke while in Bangkok. JAP WOMAN TOOK COREA. Empress Jingu Conquered tlie Country and Won Everlasting Renown. It is to a woman that Japan owes her claim to Corea and to the naval suprem acy of the eastern world. The first naval expedition which made Japan’s “arms to shine beyond the seas,” as the chroniclers of the day so proudly wrote, was planned and conducted by a woman, Empress Jingu, and it was directed against Corea. Empress Jingu, according to the Japanese chron icles, was young and beautiful and as pious and obedient to the gods as beau tiful. Asa reward for her fidelity Heaven inspired her with determina tion to conquer Corea,. So Jingu, or dering a fleet to be collected, set out in 201 A. D. upon Japan’s first naval expedition. The empress won a rich reward for her courage and energy, and Corea became tributary to Japan. Immediately upon her return a child was born to the empress, who, when he grew up, became a great warrior, and is now worshiped under the name of Hachiman, god of war. In later times it became the fashion to attribute the Corean victory to the influence of the unborn child. All over Japan there are temples erected in honor of both Hachiman and Jingu, and as late as 1874, when the Japanese troops left for Formosa, many of them pray'ed for the special protection of Hachiman, god of soldiers. BURMESE DACOITS. A Lawyer Mistaken for One and Fired Upon at Rangoon. The excitement among the English in Birmah over the robbers and mur derers they call dacoits may be im agined from the following, says the Rangoon Times: A Mr. Birch, an advocate, was going in the evening in a sampan with a Eurasian clerk. Suddenly another boat with natives in it drew near and hailed. Neither Mr. Birch nor his clerk nor the boatman, who was from Chitta gong, could understand much Burmese, and, fearing dacoity, he made signs to his boatman to pull as fast as he could. The other boat immediately opened fire and Mr. Birch was hit in the thigh. Mr. Birch, being armed with a Der ringer, returned the shot and a pretty sharp duel began. A police boat eventually arrived and the thing was stopped. It turned out that the na tives were not dacoits, but an anti dacoit patrol, who opened fire on Mr. Birch's party because their challenge was not duly answered. The Rangoon Times questions whether, in the pres ent unsettled state of feeling, the at tack on a European was purely a mis take. The Impudent Weasel. Impudence seems to be the leading characteristic with the weasel in his , relations with man. Perhaps the crea ture has confidence that his long, slen der body can always be snatched away into safety before the ordinary human being can do him harm. At any rate, the weasel will coolly sit in the chink of a stone wall and watch the doings of men within a short stone'6 throw of his asylum, and after nightfall the beast wiU crawl about fearlessly with in a yard or two of any human being that may approach his haunts. HINDOO CHILD-MARRIAGES. A Brahmin’s Daughter Must Marry Very Early or Her Reputation Suffers. The Brahmin has to get his daughter married before she attains puberty. This custom has crept into religion. The Hindoo religion strictly forbids single life for woman or man; especial ly must the woman be married. Hence there are no old maids in India. Some times one may meet an old “cranky'” bachelor, who has remained unmarried because he was too poor to marry, or because his character was not good; but even these are seldom found except in the lower classes. If a man is not married at the latest by his twenty'- fifth year his reputation suffers. It is a belief that those who have a son go to Heaven, when the son, after the death of his parents, performs the spir itual rites. Ilow'ever this may be, whether they’ go to Heaven or not, this severe rule tends to a strict cultivation of home life. Owing \to this rule, if a Brahmin’s daughter attains puberty before mar riage the father is disgraced; he loses his caste and no one will marry the girl. Thus when a poor man has more than one daughter it is a misfortune for him. The Hindoo father himself has to find out a suitable husband for his daughter, so he goes to a gentle man who has a son. He first makes in quiries about the family, the property, the health and education of the boy. Then he asks the father of the boy to marry his son to his daughter. The father of the boy asks for dowry, and the amount of this is fixed according to the means of the man who asks for it and not of the man who gives it; that i§ to say, if the father of the boy is very' rich he asks thousands of dollars, lienee the Hindoo father of a girl has to spend much for the marriage of his daughter, for he always wishes to see her married into a rich family. A PATRIOT’S PETTICOAT. - And llow It Helped to Drive Off the Brit e ish Soldiers. In a letter to the New York Times David S. Turner, of New Dorp, S. 1., says: “During the war of 1812, when Commodore Hardy attacked Stoning ton, the people there had no military defense except one old cannon which had been used for firing salutes. At Groton, on the hank of the Thames, opposite to New London, lived Mrs. Bailey in her own house, in the full vigor of womanhood and patriotism for her country, who, learning of the attack, immediately mounted her horse and started for that place to take part in the affray. Upon her arrival there the fight to prevent the landing of the Hardy force had already commenced, in which the old cannon was play ing a conspicuous part, hut soon it was found that the old gun must be given up for want of cartridges or ma terial to make them. It was at this critical moment that Mrs. Bailey ar rived, and, upon understanding the matter, gave instant notice that she could supply the needful, and then and there stripped off her flannel petticoat, which w'as soon worked into cartridges. The old gun was kept at work, and Commodore Hardy’s force went back to the fleet to report progress. “When Gen. Jackson was president and made his tour through New' Eng land he crossed the river at New Lon don, made a call upon Mrs. Bailey at her Groton home and gave her a cor dial handshaking and his hearty con gratulation upon her courageous and patriotic action upon the occasion of 'the battle of Stonington.”. IN NO DANGER. This Young Man’s Head Would Never Get Bald. A barber out on New York avenue was cutting the long, curling, profuse locks of a young man, who has some pretensions to being literary and occa sionally poses before his friends as a great genius, says the Washington Post. With a supercilious smile and words that could be heard all over the room the young man inquired: “Say, barber, what makes a man grow bald?” The barber snapped his scissors once or twice and ran the comb through his beard. “Well,” he answered, slowly, “if a man has got lots of brains and is a deep thinker he generally gets bald. That, they say, leads to it every time.” Several of the customers looked at the young man’s luxuriant crop and smiled rather broadly. The young man, however, did not exactly see the joke. So pretty soon, when the barber was running his fingers over the curly locks, he tempted fate again. “Say,” he asked, “do you think my hair will come out and I’ll get bald?” The man of the scissors paused re flectively, and then, in V tone like he was delivering a judicial decision, an nounced: “No; I don’t think you stand in any danger of getting bald.” Then the crowd laughed and the bar ber looked surprised. WHEN "SCAB” DATES FROM. The Word Has Been in Use Since the Year 1809. The first time the word “scab” is known to have been used in its present sense by union men was in 1809. Al though in 1817 several shipbuilders struck at Medford, Mass., for a contin uous rum supply, not till 1891 did strikes become frequent. Thirteen hun dred persons w r ere idle at Fall River for six months in 1850. The railroad strike of 1886, W’hich be gan in St. Louis, May 5, will long be remembered for its magnitude. A union man had been discharged by the Missouri Pacific road, and the mechan ics and shopmen struck. This was the nominal cause. Texas, Louisiana, Mis souri, Kansas and Arkansas w T ere largely affected, and governors of these states issued proclamations. Preceding this came the memorable strike of 1877 with its immense destruc tion of life and property. The four great New York trunk lines were in the hands of the strikers from first to last. The riots of Chicago and St. Louis were the wofk of tramps. Both Ways Across the United States. The greatest length of the United States from east to west is on the par allel of 45 degrees north latitude, that is to say, from Eastport, Me., on the Atlantic coast, to a point on the Pacific exactly 52>£ miles due west of Salem, Ore. On the above parallel it is exact ly 2, 768 miles long. Its greatest width | from north to south is on the 97th de gree of longitude, which extends through the United States in an almost direct line from Pembina, N. D., to Point Isabel, Tex. The greatest width Is 1.611 K miles. BRYAN AND FREE SILVER. The Nebraska Democratic Convention Renominates the Senator Unanimously. Omaha. Neb., September 27. — The Nebraska democracy captured Qrnaha yesterday, and the prediction was cor rect that when the state convention opened not a delegate would be miss ing 1 . All the open talk and badges were for Bryan and free silver. The convention was called to order by Chairman Euclid Martin at 2:25 p. m.. and the call for the convention was read. Chairman Martin then said that in accordance with established custom the central committee would recommend Hon, Matt Miller for tem porary chairman. The motion was sec onded by a delegate from the third district. W. S. Shoemaker at once offered an amendment that Mr. E. P. Smith be made temporary chairman. The motion was greeted with applause and a hundred seconds. Congressman Bryan arose at this point and when the cheers subsided said in substance : “I think we might as well understand each other in the beginning and save trouble. We, wild stand for free coinage at l(i to 1. be lieve that the state central committee postponed this convention in spite of the wishes of a large body of demo crats : and we believe that the object was to defeat their wishes; and when the state central committee found the party overwhelmingly against it, it might as well have taken the chairman the majority proposed. But it has re fused to do this. \\ e might as well commence the fight now. We have had conventions in which the chairman re fused to recognize the majority. 1 want to say that any delegate who comes here instructed for 1(5 to 1 cannot disregard it. I ask those who are with me to vote for Mr. E. P. Smi h/’ (Ap plause). Mr. Miller then rose and told the con vention that lie was not seeking the office and came to the convention in structed for Bryan and J(i to 1 for silver. At the evening session \V. D. Oldham, of Kearney, was made permanent chairman and announced the conven tion us ready for nominations. Dr. Ed wards. of Lancaster, amid great demon strations placed Congressman Hryan in nomination for Enited States senator. He was chosen by acclamation and re plied in a speech pledging himself to work for free silver and against monop olies. LEVI MORTON’S NOTIFICATION.
