Atlanta, Nov, 22.—The old cry “‘rhlch
was raised among the Negroes after Cleve-
Jand’s election in 1838, has been brought
to the front again, : :
The negro ministers of this city met
to-day, and decided to urge every Negro
in the State to save up money and get
yeady togo to A‘frica‘. ; They(_ieclare that
gince Tleveland's election their _]ast hope
for civil rights has fled and their preach
ers. at least, decided that Africa would
be a better country for them than here,
The same cry was raised on the occa-
Jon of Demociatic success in 1884, bl_xt
now. as then, will probably go up in
smoke.

The Rigl:t Answer,
A judge, nieeting a conntryman, said
to him, **“Where are you going?”
“Howdo I know?”" was the gruil reply.
The judge, taking it for a piece of Im

Off to prison with you!”
The poor rustic was seized forthwith
and was being naunled off to jail when
he turned round aud said, ‘*Your wor

This reply excited the risibility of the

) + POISONED ARROW TIPS,
How the Indians Prepare These Deadly
‘ Weapons,
| From the Pomona, Cal., Progress.
l We are indebted to L. B. Hawks, re
cently in the government Indian service
inArizonn, for a graphic description of
' the marner in which some of the braves
in the Apache region prepare their dead
ly arrows. Although the Apache have
had little or no use for their poisoned
, weapons for years still they, because of
"a tribal instinct, each summer season, go
through an annual preparaticn of their
arrow tips as carefully and methodically
as if an old-time war were near at hand.
' This work on the arrows is one picece
| of labor that the Indian brayes will not
leave to the squaws., ke gathers a doz
en or more rattiesnake heads and puts
them in a spherical earthen vessel. With
these he puts half a pint of a species of
large red ant that is found 1n many parts
of Arizona. The bite of this ant is more
poisonous than that of a bee. Upon
| these hie pours a Lit of water, and then
| seals up with meist earth the lid of tiis
| vessel. He then digs a hole two feet
deep into the ground, in which he builds
a roaring fire and puts in some stones.
i When the interior of the whole and the
stones are red hot he makes a place in
the bottom for the earthen vessel and
and puts in it. About it and upon it he
puts the coals and hot stones, and upon
the top he builds a ficrce fire and keeps
‘it up for twenty-four hours. Then le
digs out his vessel and, standing off with
“a long pole, he disengaves the top and
lets the fumes escape. The Inddan in
| siets that if the fumes should come in Lis
fice they would kill him. The mass lett
'at the bottom of the vessel is a dark
| brown paste.
L' To test the efficacy of this coneqelion
| Mr. Hawks has seen an Indian with his
. huntine knife make a cut in his bare leg,
{ just below the kpe», and let the blood
' yun down to Lis ankle. Then he'took a
' s ick and dipped it into the poison and
i |l»u\'iu-ii»n_* de se nding biood at the an
| kle. IrTmmediately began to sizzle, (s
3 it it were cooking the bluod, and the pui
t «on followed the bloed right up the leg
| sizzline its way, until the Indian scraped
| the blood off with the knite. The sav
| age assured Mr. Hawks that bad he
! allcwed the poisen to reach the mouth
| of the wound he would have been a dead
[ man in twénty minutes.
The Fate of Famous Hulks.
The outcry which has been raised
arainst the destruction of Nelson's old
flagship, the Foudroyant, makes it inter
esting to trace thie end of other famous
vessels, ’
The Shannon, which fought and cap
tured the Chesapeake, was broken up &t
Chatham, parts of her hull being sold
at a fancy peice. Sir Fruncis Drake's
\Golden liind came to a similar end at
Deptford, a chair made out of her tim
bers being one of the treasures of Ox
ford university. The Resolute, which
went in search of Sir John Franklin,
and. after being abandoned in an ice
waste was picked up by an American
whaler and returned refitted by the
United States government to this coun
try, was moored in the Medway for
some years afterward, but ultimately
taken in dock and pulled fo pieces, a
suit of furniture fashioned from her
oaken timbers being sent as a memento
to the American president. The Sov
ereign of the Seas, the first British three
decker, built in the time of Charles I,
“to the great glory of the English na
tion, and not to be paralleled in the
whole Christian world,” was acciden
tally destroyed by fire at Chatham after
seeing much and long service.
Ot Captain Cook’s Endeavor not a
trace is left, though several of his scien
tific instruments have been preserved,
por is there any trace of the Victoria,
which made the first voyage round the
world. The Betsy Cains, which brought
William of Orange to this country in
1688, was cast away 138 years later.—-

“BEYOND THE ALPS LIES ITALY.”
A fresh memorial to vanished youth, ;
The sweet girl graduate, with flawer face:
Her eyes go full of trust, her heart of trith,
Looking o'er all the world to find her place.
Her theme holds weigiuty words aud thouguis
80 staid,
A tra\csiy oun life in phrase austere;
But youthiul confidence is unafraid,
And gladness vibrates in the tones sc clear,
“Beyond the Alps lies Italy!”
The joy of triumph and of proud applause.
Sweet floral offerings, the music’s stir!
Fair, sunny slope of youth! Oh, let us pause
And linger in this girlhood’s glade with her,
Ere yet she climbs those rugged steeps of life,
Where womanhood with all its mystery lies.
Remember, ere you go to meet its strife,
Oh, maiden innocent, frowu strangely wise,
“Beyond the Alps lies Ttaly!”
The essay soon will yellow grow with time;
The years will string their rosary of tears;
Weary and footsore;, we the hills must climb,
And stumble o'er the stones of cares and
fears.
The mists of doubt will all the landscape veil,
The summit lies so very far away:
The feet may falter and the courage fail,
The stern pale lips will quiver then to say,
“*Beyond the Alps lies [taly!”
Oh, when the hands that helped you up the
slope
Shall loose the clasp we cannot always keep:
When in the night of pain you upward grope—
Blinded by tears, with lagging footsteps
creep;
Then le? your girihcod's maxim cheer your
heart—
A peal of joy through all life’s sad refrain—
Though here we love and lose, and meet and
part,
There is a height where pleasure conquers
pain—
“ Beyond the Alps iies Italy!"
—Anna B. Patten in Youth's Companion.
The Clever Bheel Robbers.
It is said that once, before the English
had become used to the maneuvers of
the robbers in India, an officer with a
party of horse was chasing a small body
of Bheel robbers and was fast overtak
ing them. Suddenly the robbers ran be
hind a rock, or some such obstacle, which
hid them for a moment, and when the
soldiers came up the inen had mysteri
ously disappeared. After an unavailing
gearch, the officer ordered his men to
dismount beside'a clump of scorched
and withered trees, and, the day being
very hot, he took off his helmet and hung
it on & branch by which he was standing.
The branch in question turned out to
be the leg of a Bheel, who burst into a
scream of laughter and flung the aston
ished officer to the ground. The clump
of scorched treessuddenly became trans
formed into men, and the whole party
dispersed in different directions before
the Englishmen could recover from
their surprise, carrying with them the
officer’'s helmet by way of trophy.—Har
per's Young Peop.e.
Dr. Laing's Method of Distilling.
Some interesting processes in obtain
ing distilled orlighter products from
mineral oils have been described by Dr.
Laing, of Edinburgh, before the Royal
Scottish Society of Arts. Among these
he names the arrangement of a still in
gnch a manner thut the oil is continu
ously being distilled into itself until the
required density is obtained: Dr. Laing
show2d that radiant heat is a powerful
afent in breaking down oil vapors, and
can be utilized by passing the gases as
they leave the still through a super
heater at a high temperature, placed
between the still and the condenser.
His ingenious method for distilling
under pressure—by means of which a
hold is kept on all the considerable gases
until liguefied—he describes as consist
ing of a relief tank interposed between
the pressure valve and the condenser,
into which the gases escape as they come
from the still, the pressure here getting
distributed over such a large area that
it is practically reduced to nil, the oil
running to the receiver at ordinary at
mospheric pressure.
Dr. Laing’s new form of still for pre
venting oils being broken down, as in
distilling for lubricating oils and paraf
fine wax, is so constructed that the non
conducting heavy residues which are
continually forming under distillation
are constantly being removed from the
gource of heat.—New York Sun.
