Mayor McClellan of New Yo k
has got a hard and t iresume task
ahead ot him. The city has
thoriz d an issue of if!!?,000,000 of
bonds, each of which musl.be
signed by the mayor. Thai means
lie must, write his name
times. The bonds must be signed
also with the name ol the control-
ler, but the hiw provides that his
two deputies may sign for him.
Hut there is no such relief for
mayor. One thousand signatures
is regarded ns a very fair task. Il
1 lie mayor can maintain that
speed he hoe thirty-seven days of
writing “George 13. McClellan”
ahead ot him.

the day of the New York State
Democratic Convention, to see
wlint the prospective candidate
was doing, and to what extent he
was watching the convention’s
work, lie found tho Judge direct¬
ing tho spring plow ing and in¬
specting tho work of a new team
of oxen. Tho only time lie went
to the telephone was for the pur-
pose of ordering some seed rye for

The most unnjiie marriage of
tlm sras-ui was celebrated
oavsnnah the other evening,
Clinrles Boone, his sweetheart,
Miss 8\vnngcr, and tho Iiev. M.\
Hunter, were returning from a
wedding across the pasture of a
neighbor. When half way across
they were attacked by a big Texas
bull. Tho young woman proved
h<-r agility by climbing a tree.
Jloone and the preacher were not
slow to follow suit. Th t trees wore
close i together . ,i an that ,, . converse-
tion wns easy. After waiting naif
un hour for the bull to go
which lie showed not the slightest
inclination to do, the preacher
suggested that it might lien long
time before the opportunity for
such n uovel marriage presented
itself again. Boone said he was w i’-
ling. So was the girl. While the
l nil bellowed a wedding march,
therefore, the preacher up the tree
asked the man and the maid,

i.ariy up a would
each other under tho regular
agreement. Their replies being
sat sfactory, ho pronounced them
mitt) and wife. After ‘.vaitiiig half

bull cume and drove him gway,
and the wedding party descended

A .MinnesoL-i Idea.
Mis. Albert Grny.land, of Min¬
nesota, does not have to obey
busba-id unless alio wants to do
so; but on the contrary is cm-
powered with full legal authority
to make Albert walk the chalk.
Even if Alb, rt were to drop over
into the neighboring state of
Siuitli Dakota and get n horgai.'i
c muter divorce, Mis, Albert
would still have him, legally
speaking, by (he ear.
Out of the northwest comes nl-
ways something new in the shape
of marriages and divorces, and
the wedding of Mr. and Mrs.
Grayland is the newest. Mm
land, who was Miss My file
j )a yj ni , decided that earth would
^ desert place to her
f 1)r( , V( , r |„ ( , rj without Albert, and
^ (Ijert feeling I lie same way about
it, they hied Ilium merrily to
office where marriage licenses are
retailed at so much per. Hut A 1 -
l/ert, being only some twenty mm*
mere old, an orphan, and without
fl guardian, the Minnesota courts
lofused to recognize his right to
enter into any merger of the kind
contemplated.
//cro was a dilemma that might
h ivm been a harrier in the path of
the less determined. Hut Myrtle
has brains. Shu forthwith adopt-
ol Albert, formally and legally,
tJnis becoming bis guardian. And
them in that capacity sin. gave the
necessary consent to the marriage,
and a handy justice of the peace
(lie rest.
Hut consider what Albert is up
against in case his wife, who is al-
so bis mother, and therefore
own mother-in-law, takes it into
her head to enforce her legal an-
thority over him. It is n danger-
ous precedent these Minnesota
people have established, for if the
Woman's Rights clubs and the a'-
minted organizations get hold of
they may insist upon having
some such . scheme . of wife-domi-
nut incorporated , . the

It lias been s/iid tlint few men
die of old age and that almost nil
persons die of disappointment,
personal, mental or bodilj toil, or
accident, says Health Culture,
The passions kill men sometimes
even suddenly. The common *-x
pi'ession, “clinked with rage,
tins lilt le exageralion in it, for
even though not suddenly fatal,
strong pas-ions shorten life,
Strong bodied men often die
young, weak men live longer than
the strong for the strong use their
strength and the weak have none
to-use- the latter take care of
themselves, the former do not.
As it is with the body so it
with the mind and the temper;
the strong are apt to break, nr,
like the caudle, run; tlie weak
burn out The inferior animals,
which live temperate lives, have
generally their prescribed term of
years. Thus the horse lives 25
years, the ox 15 r 20, the lion
about 20, tlm rr og 10 or 12, I he
rabbit 8, the guinea pig 0 or 7.
The numbers all bear pmpertion
to the time the animal tikes to
grow its full size.
Hut man, of all animals, is one
that seldom comes up to the
age. lie ought to live a
years, according to the phsi ilogi-
cal law-, for five times twenty are
one hundred, but instead of that
lie scarcely reaches an average of
four times the growing period,
The reason is obvious—man is not
only the most irregular and most
intemperate, but the most hard-
working of all animals, lie is «1 -
ways the most ii ritable, mid there
is reason to believe, though we
cannot tell what an animal secret-
ly fuels, that, more than any oth-
or animal, man cherishes wrath
to keep it warm, and consumes
himself with the lire of his own
r flections.—Ex.
The Fair Will ID* Hold.
The burning of the great main
building and two lessor ones al
the Central City park will in no
way militate against thu succt.se
of the -State Fair,
These structures will be rebuilt.
That much it assured, as was
confidently announced yesterday
morning in our news colours when
the news ofjlte fire was promulga¬
ted. With tho approximate insur-
a nee of , 24,000, , 1A(V . and . with ,, such , ,
as can be secured, the city will
make the burned district blossom
as tho rose with ia-iv and modeJii
st rue lures.
Plans have not yet been made,
or matured, but The Telegraph
would suggest that the dead trees,
killed bv the fire, be removed at
once, and that instead of one great
building three or more covered the
burned district, including the area
of dead trees. In this way the ugly
scar will disappear. The trees are
n great loss, one that money can¬
not restore. But the sear can be
covered by ntw buildings.
There is a unanimous feeling in
Macon that the "work rebuilding
must be begun at once and pros¬
ecuted vigorously. The days until
tlm Fair are growing less rapidly.

Lynched I he Wrong-Nrgro.
An infuriated limb in Southern
Indiana lynched the wrong negro
u few days ago. lie hud been
peeled of having assaulted a w hite
woman and the farmers in that
section of the Mute caught
supposed guilty party and killed
him. Later when the woman view-
ed t lie dead body she declared!
that the deceased was t ot her
nssailhnt. Hut tie negro is still
the victim of a mistake.
Now this occurred in Republican
Indiana and not in Democratic
j Georgia. The killing of the wrong
negro was murder. Whut is
ernor Durbin going to do about
Will he prosecute the farmers
who took part, in the unlawful
ideed? Not much !
j For some time negroes have
been receiving very bad t real men t
in Indiana— much worse than is
| accorded them in the South,
j j In comnenfing on this Indiana
incident the Commercial-
| says “we have no desiro to throw
j stones nt the North, hut we are
const rained to say that his offence
is unpardonable, and should not
| I go unwhipped of justice. Every
good citizen, except Theodore
Kooavelt,condemns mob violence,
and he makes an except ion only' in
case of horse theives. We do not
| think Hint it is pardonable on any
ground. Lynching breeds con-
j tempt fur law that is unhealthy,
and unless some plan is devised to
check ti e mob spirit, life will be-
| come so ohuup that it will not be
\ worth protecting. The South has
been censured, condemned and
valitied for lynching negroes but
tlie North is just as culpable, Jn
the urban as well ns rural com
imintties-of the North tnobecracy
is as rampant as it is in the
South, and I here innocent men
are put to death as often as here.
Murder of this kind is just as bad
as foul assassination, and North
or South it ought to be punishid
>o the extent of the law. Indiana
is getting to be the most notorious
state in the Union in the mistreat¬
ment of tlie black race, and her
authorities owe it to their com-
monv enltli to see that a change is
w rought. > >
We do not believo that lynch¬
ing will entirely cease, but. we
think that the next time Indian-
ians decided to lynch a negro
they , sliotil , , , no careful to get the
”
right liegre.—Macon ,, News.

The “Owensboro” wagon I I/ought of you for the city fourteen

and we have not spent a penny on it in the pay of repairs, I am
