A Narrow Escape-
Officer Phelps came very near meet<
ing a tragic death last night about 8
o’clock.
Several complaints have been made
against Nereis Duberry for running a
very disreputable negro dive at her
home on East Broad street, and Chief
Ison detailed Officers Phelps and Gor
don to go down, and if they could se
cure sufficient evidence, to arrest the
woman.
The officers secreted themselves
near ths house to await develop
ments, but in some way their presence
was discovered and the woman pre
vailed on J. C. Churn and Henry
Samps to make an assault upon there)
The negroes secured several large
rocks and rushed on the officers who
were lying in the shadow of a tree.
The first rock thrown went harmlessly
over the men, but the next one struck
Officer Phelps a terrible blow on the
left shoulder, which dased him for a
moment. >* •
As soon as the officers recovered
from the surprise of the attack, they
sprang to their feet and gave chase to
the negroes and captured them after
some trouble, and landed them in the
city prison. •
Officer Pbelps was suffering consid
erably from the blow he received, a6d
is confident the negroes intended

I ' ' * I,—-I
Classes of Cotton BvOooipts*
It is not generally known perhaps
that the war stamp act covers cotton
recepts, or at least a certain class of
them. The following, however, which
is taken from the Selma Times, will
throw much light on the subject and
should bn read by all cotton dealers:
"The law which requires every re
ceipt to Ln atamped With a 25 centa
internal revenue stamp, bas given
cotton warehousemen in Ibis city
great concern on account of the many
conflicting opinions as to who was re
quired to pay the tax, whether pro
ducer, merchant or broker.
‘ Mr. Henry W. Pariah, of this city,
therefore weut to Washington with a
set of prepared questions, which are
given below, as well as the answer by
General Samuel Butterfield, bead of
the Internal Revenue Department.
The questions and answers are very
plain and are of decided interest to all
of the people who handle cotton.
“When a tenant rents land lor a
cotton rental deliverable in bales, at
warehouse, does such receipt require a
stamp? No; 25 centa not required.'
“If cotton mortgaged by the pro
ducer to the factoy is consigned to
factor to be sold, warehouse receipts
"being issued in consignee’s name, but
designating the consignor, does ware
house receipts for such co'ton rtquire
a stamp? No; if cotton is merely
mortgaged and remains the property
of tbe producer, 25 cents not required.
“Or, if producer is not indebted but
consigns his crop to factor for sale,
warehouse receipts being issued in
same manner as mentioned above,
does such receipts require a stamp?
No; 25 cent stamp not required.
“If producer delivers cotton to mer
chant in the interior for payment of
debt, and tbe merchant ships such
cotton to warehouse in his own name,
does such receipt require a stamp?
Yes; 25 cents stamp required.
Or, if producer, without being in
debted, sells hie cotton straightout for
cash to country merchant, he then
shipping it to warehouse, does such
receipt require a stamp? especially
when considering in connection with
tbe fact mentioned in facts Nos. 5 and
6? Yes; 25 cent stamp required.
If cotton previously stored at a
warehouse is removed therefrom by
buyers and delivered to a compress
for temporary storage, to be eventually
compressed for shipment, does such
receipt by compress company require
a stamp?—such receipts usually desig
nate any number of bales on one
blank. Yes; £5 cent stamp for each
receipt, no matter bow many bales
are designated theron.

"Spell.” of Southern Negroes.
There are numerous harmless “spells”
which are regular observances in the
lives of the average southern negroes.
Besides the root chewing, the track lift
ing, etc., they have a love philter of
frogs’ legs cooked in still water, and the
ashes of a bat are powerful enough to
keep away a rival or an enemy. To
make a dog stay at home they cut off
the tip of his tail and bury it under the
doorstep. To make a wife obedient they
“draw her pictur’ ” and hide it in the
shingles. Thus, waking or sleeping;
there is a constant forcing or counter
acting of destiny.—Philadelphia Times.

tu£tely dUtlnguUhed by hl. birth as be
ing above and, a* it were, of araee apart
from tha maam ot the population, a gen

bmlde* their splendor from those affected
by the oanallle. At that period th* occu
pation peculiar to gentlemen was th* eon
duet of th* government, but dow when
gentleman ar* found in *v«ry walk of life
and the word Implie* simply th* poasM
•lonof estimable inward qualltiaa W*all
diem pretty mueh alike, when th* rword
indicated th* man’.rank, he might chooee
hi. color, and th* fashion of hi* clothe* to
suit Mn**lf, but at premt, when th* dre**
of a man conveys nothing of his station
in life beyond the indication, of material
pnuix.-iity, uniformity and the avoidance
of disnJay are sought.
Apart ’from the effaoement of clas* di.
tinctlon. in drees, which it took centuries
to compass, do greater change ha* come
over this matter of clothe* than on* which
ha* been acoompllahed within th* memory
of man. We may reprove th* tendency of
our men of leisure to copy rather than
emulate our English brethren in dres* and
deportment, but it 1* undoubtedly to them
we owe our lovs for outdoor sport*. *njl H

the breed of men and ehanged th* character
of their clothes. The dandy no longer
trip* in dainty shoe* and shuns exertion,
but is proud of his square shoulder* and
deep chest, and his dress is distinguished
not more by its neatness and accuracy of
detail than by it* simplicity, comfort and
serviceability.
The manliness which i* the keynote of
this change finds no greater expression
than in the avoidance of all pretense, sham
and vain show and in the perfect fitness of
the clothes of a gentleman of taste. In
spite of the abandonment of arbitrary class
distinction in apparel, it is by no means
difficult to recognize a gsntiaman a* such
by hi* clothes. Quite apart from thansat
nes* and avoidance of any
ness, which it should be nnntoesMsy to
mention, is the abeolute rimplfofty and
reality of everything he has on anflits fit
ness for the occupation in hand. This fit
ness Is the essence of good foruxjn dothee,
and as it has its seat in the most rigid
common sense it is singular that it to ih
this that gaucheries shoqM mpst frequent

Win Go Without Bia Tom.
Since tbe news of Commodore Dew*
ey’s victory reached tbe green hills ot
bis native state, tbe fires ol patriotism
have burned fiercely in tbe breasts ol
tbe boys of Vermont, says tbe New
York Herald.
The enthusiasm ot sacrifice for Un
cle Sam reached its height the other
day in St. Albans. One of the boys
from that town went before tbe army
surgeon to be examined with a view to
enlisting. He was a strong fellow,
And the surgeon found him all right
till be got down to his feet. There be
discovered a defect which made him
hesitate. The little toes on both feet
were crooked under so that in walking
the boy’s weight tell directly on them,
“I’m afraid I can’t pass you with
those toes,” said the surgeon. “You
will find them very troublesome on a
long march. Don’t the, ever hurt you
in walking?”
Tbe fellow admitted that they were
somewhat painful when he walked
many miles.
The surgeon shook his head.
“Very sorry,” he said, “but I’m
afraid you can’t go.”
The boy from Dewey’s state threw
back bis bead and his upper lip stif
fened. ' Doctor,” be said, “supposing
I didn’t have tbe toes. Would you
pass me then?”
The doctor said he thought he
would.
Thereupon the boy walked over to
the hospital and told the house sur
geon that he wanted toes cut
off 80 that he could go to war. Thia
operation was performed, and the
brave volunteer now lies up at tbe
hospital with bandages around his feet
minus two toes, but full of valor and
determined to wear tbe uniform of
Uncle Sam, toes or no toes.
Wheatfield* of th* Wutore.
No doubt the opening of the wheat bear
ing regions of Siberia to settlement will
compel revised estimates of our own con
tribution of this cereal to the markets of
Europe if not the amount grown for home
use. The London Post publishes an ac
count of the progress of the Tranasiberlan
railroad in which it is asserted that by the
end of next month the road will be com
pleted as far as Irkutsk, and that the Rus
sian government Will transport 200,000
peasants to fertile belts along the road for
the purpose of cultivating wheat. At the
same time railway communication with
the northern seaport of Archangel is being
made, with the object of aiding cheap cul
tivation by cheap transportation to the
European market*. The government will
aid there peasant colonists with imple
ments and will require only a tithe of their
produce as rent. The result of this ex
periment is practically certain to cause a
change in existing wheat areas.
• Russia has been our chief competitor in
the Liverpool market hitherto, although
Argentina and India have also bean areert
ing themselves, but the new accession of
wheat growing area will give Russia an
advantage difficult to offset. Union our
agricultural interest* are prepared to meet
the threatened competition serious times
are ahead for there farmers of the west
and northwest whore chief source of
wealth is their wheatfields.—New York
Commercial Advertiser.
