The Two Mr. Carnegie..
Not Tory long ago Mr. Andrew Car-
Bogie published a book called "Tri
umphant Democracy." It is not a great
book, but the contrast whieh it makes
apparent between Mr. Carnegie, tin- ar
dent Democrat anil philanthropist in «I|C-
orv, and Mr. Carnegie, the grasping
protectionist and Republican in fact, is
rather striking. It was in the former
character that Sir. Carnegio wrote his
book; it is in tho latter that ho manages
his iron manufacturing business anil
takes part in polities. One is bis^Etiro-
pean character, the other his American.
One passage in Triumphant Deiuoc-
•aoy is ns follows:
"Far lie it from me to retard the
march of the world toward the free and
unrestricted exchange of commodities.

When Mr Carnegie Is In tho United

This is all true cnouph. The Globe-
Democrat might have addl'd that the
Third party's use of admitted fiction in
its campaign lit4*rature is only exceeded
by its use of fiction that is claimed to
be fact. No newspaper pre*H in this
country has ever been so recklessly un
truthful, so delilierately misleading, so
thoroughly demagogic ns is that of the
Third party. Claiming to represent
purity in politics, its campaign is based
wholly on the idea that tho mass of tho
people are Ignorant and selfish.

In the year 1882, about the latter part
of March, l, with some of ny friends who
were on a visit to me, went out to an old
edifice about 2^0 ysrde from tlv** bans* one
evening to enjoy ourselves over a game of
seven-up.
When we left the house not one of uj
had the least idea that the rays of the sun
would be followed by the Uuck wings of
destruction.
I remember well, we laid been playing
about two or three hours. 1 had the ace,
deuce, queen aud jack of trumps. My op
ponent had just thrown down the ten spot
of clubs, and I was just in tho act of tak
ing it with xny jack when I was arrested
by a loud, lumbering noise that sounded
like the roaring of a train, but a hundred
times louder.
I jumped to my feet nnd ran to the door.
What I saw os I put my head through the
opening will remain with me to my dying
day.
The space above me was ns dark us
pitch, except when tho flush of lightning
made a little light, nnd by oue of these
flashes I could see old timbers, shingles,
tree tops aud everything imaginable flying
about in every direction.
1 sprung to the middle of the room,
clasped my friend to my breast uud cried:
“We are lost! Oh, God, save us!”
The words had scarcely left my lips
when, oh, horrorsl I saw the top of the
old born torn from its bed ami hurled to de
struction, folded iu the arras of the mighty
destroyer.
The old logs were being scattered around
me. I felt the floor moving under my feet,
everything turned dark and I knew no
more till I opened my eyes nnd found the
kindly face of the doctor tending over me.
I hod been hurled over u mile from the
old barn, and how I got there without be
ing killed the render can best imagine.
Three teeth knocked out, my left arm and
two ribs broken wero all tho injuries l ro
chived.
On inquiring afterward, 1 found out that
my frieuds never received a scratch. When
the top of th«» old barn was torn off, they
ran out iuto the yard and lay flat on the
groutid, hugging the roots of a Large
stump.
It lias been ten years since that terrible
night, and 1 never see a cloud rising but I
can almost foci myself hurled through the
air.—Atlanta Constitution.

Women tuul Worry. *
Granting that a woman's nerves are more
apt to biiorao detroque — to borrow a
French word—than a man's are, a fact
which wo have no wish to try to account
for, wo are not at all sure that It Is be
cause she is more cubject to the smaller
worries of life than a man Is, or, indeed,
that she is really more subject to them. It
is true that the cAres of the household,
productive as they are of much grievance
and trouble, fall chiefly upon a woman's
shoulders; but, on the other hand, a man's
ordinary business or profession is quite as
full of small annoyances nnd worries,
which are every whit as irritating as those
that beset his wife.

How Apples Are Shipped to Knrope.
In pocking for transportation by rail
apples are sent loosely in barrels, bat when
sent by water each apple to first carefully
wrapped In soft white tissue paper ami
then In stronger brown paper. Then the
fruit Is packed In barrels, according to
sire, so tightly that It cannot shift with
the rolling of the vemel. The barrel, used
for ocean transportation are mneb stronger
than those In which the fruit to shipped to
domestic point*. Nearly all foreign buy
er* send to till* city for their apples.
Many of tho Invoice* are uuule out to
titled names, which may or may not im
prove the flavor of tli* apples, according to
the private opinion of each reader. Ijviy
Seymour buys nearly u dozen barrels a
month from a big fruit house on lower
Broadway. Many barrels were consigned
to the household of the late Duke of Clar

t On the Yang-tsu-Kloug.
Strnngo Junks float down or sail np thu
river Yang-tao-Kiong — sometimes mere
plunks nailed together in iui uncouth moa
ner, sometimes built in the regular river
junk fashion, nnd well built, too, of var
nished wood, with raised deckhouses high
above the stern nnd sails of matting; and
not seldom some 1m-painted and bcs;uuigled
mandarin boat is passed, covered with gold
dragons in contortions, und resembling
pioro the advertisement van of some sec
ond rate circus than anything else. Yet
they nre must picturesque; the grotesque
animals, whose protruding necks form tbo
bow, and whose open Jaws aro filled with
acarlet teeth, are u marvel; but they are
not alone in their glory, for the whole ship
is a mass of tangled reptiles and beautiful
but mythical birds anil beasts. The cat I in,
with its gay awning and brilliantly painted
walls, stands on the deck Uko a Paris hon-
bonniere, whilo from above fly a mnltitnde
of flags, long, narrow pennant* bearing
the mandarin owner’s name and titles,
flags with curly dragons—flags, In fact, of
every color and every design.
Every day we were passing these boats,
and each was a picture. The decks from
which the sailors row are very low to th.
water, and on one occasion the wnsh of our
passing steamer caused such a strain upon
the heavy oara that two of a crew were
washed -overboard. We saw them picked
up again, and then proceeded on our way,

FLASHES from OVER the STATE
Rumors were flying through bu.ineea
circles of Grif&n Wednesday, so the Grif

had opened np a shop-in Camp Nortlien,
and was selling the encampment ull the
foods used, and that the Griffin mer
chants were left out in tho ec'.d. lly dil
igence and no littio trouble, the Call ob
tained substantially these facta: The
regiment mule it* estimate of its wants

vannah in bulk,' and brought them to
Camp Northen. whore they nre issued
dally to the troops, by a commissaiy
sergeant, at actual cost price In Karan-

These rations aro issued to companies,
not Individuals, and not one cent's worth
of goods has been, nor will be, to an tn-
iliriilual. l%e regiment adopted this

famous for the excitements nnd turmoils
of Its debate*. In the old monnrchlal day*,
before the revolution, the sessions of the
old parliament were exceedingly dull ami
prosy affairs.
One day, it to related, a noble coant was
trying to make a speech, and a very prosy
speech it was, while all the other members
were either chatting or resting.
Presently the president of the body rapped
slightly with hto baton.

no more ruriae than those gentlemen who
are snoring, It would be much appreciated
by those gentlemen who are trying to
