BILL ARP’S LETTER His Eeference to Beans Brings Forth a Communication. RELATIVE OF “JACK” WRITES TO BILL Sends a Specimen of the Vegetable, Which Causes the Bartow Man Mach Wonderment. A veteran friend has sent me one of the identical beans that little Jack planted and that grew up to the sky. It came in a lettef coiled up like a little green snake and I thought at first it was a snake. It is about the size of an average wax bean and is twenty-eight and one-half inches long. I measured it on my square and am satisfied it was at least thirty inches when it was taken from the vine, for it has shrunk some in the mail. He writes that be is a lineal descendant of Jack and tbe bean sta4k and this variety has been handed down through seventeen generations, more or less, and these beans won’t grow for anybody except Irish patriots or Confederate veterans. The writer belonged to Captain Daw son’s company in the Eighth Georgia regiment and was with us that memor able night when we crossed the Shen andoah river by torch light and the short boys had to be eased over the deep places by putting taller soldiers behind them, and even then the water run into their mouths occasionally. My friend was one of the shorts and says he got strangled several times on tip toe. These bean vines and other vines have often excited my wonder and con templation. Solomon says: “There is a purpose for everything under heaven,” and Addison says: “In rea son’s voice all rejoice.” And so I would like to know why all the bean vines, morning glories, madeira and cinnamon vines grow and wind toward the snn, starting on the south side of the pole and going east, while the hop vine and some others reverse their course. Everything has its law and you can’t make anything change its nature. A vine will die if you force it the wrong way. And yet Raphael Semmes says in his great book that south of the equator everything is re versed and the bean vines that climb •gainst the sun up here climb with it down there. Of course the motion of the earth on its axis has something to do with it, but why is it so? We don’t know much after all. Mrs. Hemans 6ays: “And flowers shall wither at the north wind’s breath,” but if she had lived iu South America she would have said “at the south wind’s breath,” for that is the cold wind below the equator. We are all inclined to view things from our own standpoint. Of course it is very natural for us to do so for we live in the same zone and latitude that Adam and Eve lived in. “Westward the course of empire takes its way.” That’s al^. No change in the course of the sun or moon or stars or olimate or temperatnre. Paradise w^s on a line with Cartersville, and it is yet, •nd the Euphrates river is the Etowah now and the gold of that land was good and so is the gold of this. But I was ruminating about thes* mysteries of nature that surround u •nd are so common that we do not no* tice them. Last night our grove was illuminated by a thousand fireflies— more numerous and more brilliant than ever before. It was regular pyr otechnics for an hour. They lighten •s they rise from the grass and emit a •park of gold and green luster that is lovely. Some naturalists say it is phosphor us that they can illuminate at will by breathing hydrogen or oxygen into it •nd that it has no heat. Ever since Linneus lived this little, innocent bug has been under the fires of dissection •nd discussion, and no solution of its wonderful faculty has vet been aereed upon. I had to catch a bottle full for the little girls. They played with them until bedtime and then I turned them out, and one of them was dead with the light still shining in its tail. It had illuminated its own death and kept its lantern burning without a breath of hydrogen or oxygen. Away down in the tropics these fireflies are an inch long, and a score or two of them will illuminate a room and a dozen in a bottle gives light to read by. Travelers tie a dozen to a stick and travel at night by their light. I would like to import some of that variety into my grove. In fact I think we could utilize them in our street lamps and get more light than we do now. The other morning about sunrise I was surprised at the number of dew-covered cobwebs that adorned the grass and weeds around the house. They were almost touching each other and glistened in the morning sun like a frost was upon them. Most of them were about the size of a saucer and had their tiny cords and stays fastened securely and in everyone was a cun ning little aperture where the weaver lived and waited and watched for his jprey. The workmanship of these lit- tie webs was exquisite, artistic and perfect—where did the little creature get its material and who told it that this was a good morning to set its traps? The books tell us that it has within its little abdomeu a tiny reel that turns as the web is spun and that the fiber is so wonderfully fine it would take ten thousand strands to make a thread of sewing silk. Wendell Phillips delivered a lecture in Boston and his subject was: “There Is Noth ing New Under the Sun.” He declared that 3,000 years ago the Persian ladies could weave fabrics as delicate as a spider’s web and that once a Persian princess who was going out to a fash ionable dance went into her father’s room to show him the beautiful gar ments she had on. The old king was amazed at her ap parel, or rather at the lack of it, and >aid: “Go back, my daughter; go back and dress ycurself. Your garments do not conceal your nakedness.” She seemed indigfiant at his rebuke and (aid: “Father, I have on seven differ in': coverings besides my dress. ” This is enough of beans and vines and insects. My folks are busy now making jelly—made thirty-six glasses of horse apple jelly yesterday and are working on the blackberries today. Never was such a crop of berries— these berries of chameleon colors that are red when they are green and black when they are ripe. The poor country women and little girls have taken in many a dime already. They want 20 cents a gallon, and I never jew them. When a poor woman and her little children turn out in the wet grass and scratch their hands and tear their clothes and get wet up to their knees and tote their buckets to town two or three miles they ought to have 20 cents for a gallon, but they don’t get it often. A woman came yesterday with a peck of nice berries and I knew her, though I hadn’t seen her since her husband was in the chaingang. How is he doing now? I asked her. She smiled and said: “He’s at work; he’s been doin’ right well for a good while. His health ain’t good, but he’s at work. Me and the children have got a right good garden, but my little daugh ter needed a pair of Sunday shoes mighty bad and I told her we could pick berries for ’em, and we will.” Now that poor woman tied herself to a trifling man when she was young and fairly pretty, and 6he don’t want to get loose. It is most astonishing to me—the devotion of a woman to a trifling hnsband. She says he is good to her and loves the children, but he has his failings and so she clings to him and keeps her marriage vows. St. Peter will let her in when she knocks at the gate and will let her children in, too, but I don’t know what will become of him. Maybe he is elected for her sake; I hope so.—B ii/l Arp, iu Atlanta Constitution. MOBILIZING GIGANTIC ARMY. Russia Quietly AssembUnu 300,000 Troops to Go Against Chinese. A dispatch to the New York World from London says: “Burn Murdock, an agent in Korea, who ha6 just reached London after a sixty days’ journey by way of Yladi versteek, over the Trans-Siberian rail way to Moscow, even before he left, was mobilizing troops in central Rus sia and east and west Siberia.

Here One Napoleon had 500 prisoners of the most magnificent charities of the centuries was started in this seaport by Dorcas, a woman with her needle embroidering her name ineffaceably into the beneficence of the world. I see her sitting in yonder home. In the door way and around about the building and in the room where she sits are the pale faces of the poor. She listens to their pliant, she pities their woe, she makes garments for them, she adjusts the manufactured articles to suit the bent form of this inva lid woman and to the cripple that comes crawling gives on his this hands and knees. sandals She a coat to one; she gives to that one. With the gifts she mingles prayers and tears and Christian encourage ment. Then she goes out to be greeted on the street corners by those whom she has blessed, and all through the street the cry is heard, “Dorcas is coming!” The sick look up gratefully in her face as she puts her hand on the burning brow, and the lost and the abandoned start up with hope as they hear her gentle voice, as though an angel had lane addressed them, and as sne goes out the eyes half put out with sin think they see a halo of light about her brow and a trail of glory in her path way. That night a half paid shipwright climbs the hill and reaches home and sees his little boy well clad and says, “Where did these clothes come from?” And they tell other him, “Dorcas has been here.” In an Dorcas place bought a woman the is trimming a lamp; oil.

All through the “Dorcas haunts of sick!” wretchedness No bulletin the news comes, is flashing from the palace gate telling the stages of a king’s disease is more anxiously waited for than the news from this bene factress. Alas, for Joppa there is wailing, wailing cheerful That voice which has uttered sc many words is hushed; that haad which has made so many garments for the poor is cold and still; the star which hac pared light into the midnight of wretch edness is dimmed by the blinding mists that go up from the river of death. In every forsaken place m that town, wher ever there is a sick child and no balm, wherever there is hunger and no bread, wherever there is guilt and no commisera tion, wherever there is a broken heart and no comfort, there are despairing looks and streaming eyes and frantic gesticula tions as thev cry, Dorcas is dead. lhey send for the apostle 1 eter, who happens to with be in the suburbs of the place, Si stopping a tanner of the name of mon.

I am glad that there is not a page of the world’s benevolence. history which is not a record of female God says to all lands and people. “Come, now, and hear the widow's mite rattle down into the poor box.” The Princess of Conti sold all her jewels that she might help the famine stricken.
