BILL ARP’S LETTER. HE SOFTENS IN HIS CRITICISMS OF THE ENGLISH PEOPLE, And Gives Them Credit for Their Eru dition and Good Intentions. .wo „ weeks , _. I indulged , , ,, humor . at ago in some the exp -nse of England and English people, I had no thought of being sarcastic, for I have great admiration and even reverence for old England. In the first solidity place the English are our ancestors and the and stability of their form of govtrnment sometimes makes me doubt whether there is any better. Wo had a little rupture in the family 100 years ago.and King Go rge IV played the fool, but the Chat hams and many other noble men were our friends. From England we have inherited the highest types of art and literature, and Eng land is today the foremost nation in the spread of Chrisiiamty and Christian civilization in heathen countries. Progressive as we are in art and culture we have not yet produc d ruch men as Milton and Bacon and Shakespeare and Johnson and Cowp, r and Gray and Byron and Charles Lamb and a host of others. Then there was Newton and Sir Christopher Wrenn and Hannah Moore. A man who wnuki make wanton sport of Englnnd is an unread idiot— why, if I was an English subject I would staud KeXf°or n a d ^mhmg elU?Tre her if for member well when the crown was placed upon her head in 1837,and when sho was married in SpTe d of’ Sc® amf virtue ancf toleration to her people.

We had one over here two years ago who did not believe it possibje for a negro to steal. course of time his man servant stole his pants and shirt and some socks, and was arrested and the things restored. Even then he thought there was a mistake about it and that some white man stole them. I wanted to take him out and kick him for his unbelief. He was determined to defend the darkey. A year or so ago the London G iobe had an article about Buffalo Bill, which ran as fol lows: “The cablegrams announce that Colonel been^reTiiimrd 1 ^imfyor*0! e ) nd , Nebraska . No bete ter selection could have been made. Colonel Cody was the friend of a man named Boone, who discovered Kentucky. He married the granddaughter of Sitting Bullfrog. Ho was twice the governor of Chicago and at one time was mayor of Arkansaw. He served in the confederate army under General Butler, who so General gallantly defended New Orleans against Longstreet. He introduced a bill in congress for the relief of the citizens of Buffalo, and thereby got his name of Buffalo Bill.

It is perfect It natural that the English maps should not have Atlanta on them, especially as it is si far from Canada and Venezuela. Onr people know more about England than the English do about ns. Our people visit Scotland and England in great numbers every year, and onr young folks have to study English history and are well posted, better than the average English youth. Mr. Depew says he visited Stratford and asked a native people what Mr. Shakespeare there. And did said that he made so many come he wrote something. ‘‘What did he write?” “I think,” said he, “it wss the Bible.” But. nevertheless, I believe that most of the English people know that Shakespeare dident writo the Bible, but that it was King James of blessed memory, ant 1 snau nut yoke m> unknown friend any more.

By an explosion of powder and dy namite Friday ufternoon, four men were killed at Big Creek Gap, a mile and a half north of Lafolette, Camp e county, m.-- xenn. Four other men are missing, and their bodies are being searched for in the mass of earth and rock that was dislodged by the explosion. The accident occurred on the works of the Lafolette railroad near Lafol ? tte - where a new road is bein « P ro ' jected from there to Jellico. A large force of men were at work blasting for a Cut ’ Three ke 8 8 f bftdbeen placed . in , a sixteen-foot hole, and four sticks of dynamite were added to the deadly charge. A fuse was attached to the powder and lighted, and the man ran from the place to a safe dis tance to await the result. They waited fourteen minutes and the charge failed to g° off. The men were then ordered back into the hole by the foreman to readjust the fuse. They obeyed the order, all being apparently satisfied that the fire had become extinct. : J U8 t as they J re-entered the hole, however, ,____ ^ be terrific . - a explosion _ , oc eurred, and the earth and stone for many yards around were dislodged and ! brown into a conglomerate mass with tn e remains of the unfortunate vie tims. t ’ OPULISTS MAKING READY.

Russian merchant F prince reoently J died ,. , , leaving . a legacy , of 4,000,000 . nnn ru bles to his four nieces. But being impressed with the saying that pride goeth before destruction, it was stipulated in the will that before receiving her legacy each niece shall have worked continuously for fifteen months either as chambermaid, wash erwoman or farm servant. The three executors of the will are enjoined to that this condition . scrupously boo is respected. The four legatees have therefore gone to work as farm hands and ser vants. But though the conditions are hard, 863 offers of marriage have al r f, ad 7 come 1D - and Baedy noblem f n ln all directions are ready to put up titles at the lowest market prices. The idea of tbe Russian millionaire is . well worth studying. When these four legatees come into possession of their fortunes they will know how to sympathize with the poor and humble, for they will have been there them selves. American girls may see in these 863 offers of marriage that labor is no dis grace when there is money behind it. But uselessness and utter neglect of contact with “common folks” ought to be in bad repute, whether there is money behind it or not.—Boston Globe, Job’s Record Broken.
