This Js the season when the mind of the story writer turns to story writ ing, and the country is flooded wltil ti variety ranging from the ridiculous to the pathetic. Most o£ these come from the fertile imaginations of the story writers aforesaid, and are written to amuse or instruct, "to point a moral or adorn a toJe." But none of these can possess more Interest than a true incident which occurred at Nisbet Grammar School in this city last Fri day. The "knight of 'the coal hod," wno presides In the august capacity of jan itor in that school, rejoices in the cog nomen of "Smith." It Is not certain' that this is his real name, but at any rate this is the name by which the children all know him. "Smith’* is lov-ed by every child Jn the school, for tho simple reason that Smith loves every one of them, and feels a. sort of personal responsibility for th^mv. Smith is one of .the good, old-time negroes that are gradually passing away, and the very fact that they are grow lug scaro.*r makes Smith and his kina command to a greater degree the re spect if not the affection of his white neighbors. Be this as it may, and what ever the cause, the children in Nisbet school have a decided fondness for Smith, and the forty or forty-live ’little oohm ’in Miss Hclmes r class determ. " to show theirs In a substantial way Christmas. So a hint was conveyed to Smith that lie Ihlad better hang up has stocking on Friday, the day on which •the school would close for the holidays. He accepted the suggestion, and m lieu of the traditional stocking they found a. flour sick ready to weeive tUeir^ofr^riaigs. Not a single little one forgot 'that it was Smith’s Christmas, and toe flour sack was literally .full to overflowing. Whilt, with apples, or anges, candy and divers articles of clothing, Smith's Christmas was not to bo despised. Nor was there a lack of money itself. There wer> coppers, nick els ari3 dimes and a-t least one gold dollar that found their way into the stocking. No one could have been more grateful' than Smith, and his thunks were tendered in tho most profuse but humble manner. Tears trickled down the old furrowed black cheeks as he turned away with his treasure, and he will doubt! cm remember through his few remalmng years us among the brightest of his life too Christmas of 1894.

Among the new students who will enter Mercer University in January will be two Cinnamon, both of them from Massachusetts. These ttwo men have b^en 0 tteaidTng^ sohooS “hX one of the 13g Northern uiilveraities, but find ing the climate too severe, they de- cid?d to come South to complete their education. They settled on Mercer Uni versity after corresponding with a number of schools, and Last summer no tified the authorities of this school that they would enter at the beginning of the second term, which commences on New Y<vir's day. One of ihese young men, Mr. Char lie M. Jett, is studying for th? min istry, and will enter the divinity school of Mercer as well ns th? litera ry school. He has been licensed to preach by toe Baptist church. The oth er man, MiC Wing Bing, has not yet decided what profession he will adopt. It Is understood that both Mr. Jett and Mr. Bing are entirely able to pay toeir way through school. Both cam* to this country as students and entered school In Massachusetts. At that time Mr. Jett had no Idea 1>t be coming a preacher; Jn fact, had not embraced, th? Christian religion. After hLs conversion to that faith he united with the Baptist cuhrch, and subse quently, upon his own request, was licensed to preach that church.

Tho two fish are placed in tho same bot tle, says a writer in tho London Field. They proceed totakeeaoh other’s meat*ure, shoulder up to each other in schoolboy fashion and back and push around tho "ring, the small fins vibrating rapidly all tho time," and eaoh little being quivering with excitement .xnd wrath. This goes on for some minutes until, as the specta tors are growing impatient, ono fish sud denly flips his head around, makes a dart, and a considerable dent in his adversary’s tail shows at onco that ho has got homo. Honceforth there is no hesitation until ono or the other cries "peccavi.” In reg ular fish fights on which money depends the battle is continued until one fish turns tail and is chased around tho bottle by the other. But this is usually an affair of an hour and frequently throe or four. The pluck and determination of the fighters aro wonderful. Tho ordinary stream fish do not evince it nearly so much as those that have been bred for tho pur pose. Tho tall is the part which 6howa tho most damage, for it is very easily torn, but a good grip on a side fin Is most effective. When one pins tho other by the nose, an exciting struggle takes place, tha two lying fastened togethor liko profes sional wrestlers and then shaking each other backward and forward with might and main. They often seem extremely exhausted, but still fight on bravely, and sometimes It is a matter of difficulty to part them. They display considerable agility in evad ing their opponent’s mouth and also in suddenly twisting around and taking a piece out of its tail. In 20 minutes or so these appendages, which looked so brave and bright as they went into tho fray, aro torn to ribbons. Tho fish's general nppearanco after the fight suggests that of a sailing ship emerg ing from n hot action with her canvas hanging in streamers, her topmasts shot away, her crew gasping for breath, but still ready to fight again. Tho fish some times succumb to n long contest, but gen erally they only take superficial damage and are immediately ready to feed. After a match they are always rested a week or moro, according to the extent of their in juries, and most of the rents and outs are repaired by nature. Enthusiastic owners often «vager £0 or £7 or moro on their favorites, and many people earn a little money by breeding fighting fish and then backing them against others. MARVELOUS EXPANSION. Woman After Woman Left tbe Car, bat the Space Was Always Occupied. When I entered a Madison avenue car recently, I found the scats entirely occu pied and had to contont myself with tho support of a strap and tha hopo that ono of tho other 22 passengers would soon alight. As I stood head and shoulders above the otliora and took a census of the passengers I found that thero were tea women on ono sldo and ten women and two men on tho other sido. One of tho men I recognized, for wo had been friends of long standing. I knew that his home was near and patlont- ly waited for his departure. When Eight ieth street was reached, he rose from his soat, nnd—1 didn’t sit down, for tho ladies shook out their sleeves, separated a little, and 11 porsons filled the space that had been occupied by IS. I changed ray clinging hand from tho right to the left and settled into the con viction that I must stand until I reached my destination afc Ono Hundred and Twenty-fifth street Then my sunken hopes wero revived by tho lady next. to the man signaling tho conductor to stop. Sho left the car, but no room for me, f ^r tbe nine ladies again stirred, shook an other reef from their sleeves, and tho seat) was entirely filled. I clung to the strap with both hands. When wo reached One Hundred end Twentieth street, the ono other man roro to go, and without looking behind X fol lowed him, to walk the remainder of the distance, for I did not want to be a wit ness to the result of the effort of the nine women to further expand.—New York Herald.
