eity of Chattanooga to use the
WONDERFUL AROTYPE PROCESS.
This is the process which has brought
about such a startling revolution in the
manner of producing photographic
prints. The arotype prints are made
with printer’s inks on a common hand
press, and are therefore absolutely per
manent. The most remarkable feature
of this improvement is the cheapness
e. with which the prints can be produced

A CURIOUS CUSTOMER.
A Mau Who Wanted to Engage Hoard
for Twenty Tears.
Yesterday afternoon, shortly nf
ter the arrival of the train, a man
entered a hotel in thi3 city and ask
ed the clerk, who stood busying
him«elf with a patent blotter, the
terms-upon which he could engage
board.
‘‘Owing to the location of your
room, sir. Big demand for our
room. Feed wrU-*-
“I don’t care so much tfiKbut the
pulin' part,” replied the man. “I
am -10 odd years old, and have been
eatiu’ about all my life. It’s gettin’
to be an old thing with me. W.ell.
say, give me a respectable room —
how much you'll charge ?”
“Just yourself, sir?” f
“Well, in a manner.'”
“Twenty-five dollars per month,
in case you are alone.”
“You see it is this way : My wife
will be with me, but «3 times are
pretty tight, I concluded to arrange
it in this way : I’ll take breakfast,
my wife will take dinner, and we’ll
throw up—wet or dry—for supper
By that means, we can both get
board for one price. I reckon I’m
a little the best manager you ever
seed.”
“Fifty dollars the two.” „
“I don’t underhand that sort o'! 1
’riihmetic. , Both together, we’d
only eat thejmeals allowed for one
person. If on’t hurt a bed any
more fore two to sleep on it tjn>*/
for one. I’ve got a bed out in the
country that was presented to my
wife when we got married, and I’ll
be dinged if it ain’t just about as
good is new. It’s one of these old
fashioned beds, with high, yallpr
posts with knobs on the tops as big
as young pumpkins. I’ll furnish
the room with this bed and one
chair. My wife can sleep on the
floor. I’ve lived in the country all
my life, and Bavin’ made a little
money last year, I concluded to
come into town and splurge a little
Thar’s a woman down the courtrv
that has been buckin agin my wife,
and to git away with her we have
concluded to board at a hotel.” •
“Fifty dollars per month is our
lowest rate.”
“How much by the year? I am
going’ into the business right.” ■,
•‘.Six hundred dollars.”
“This is a wholerale business
with me. How much for ten
yearn ?”
“Six thousnrd dollars.”
“All right. Mark me down for
a snack right now and check it off
for twenty years.”
‘See that card ?” said the clerk,
pointing to the hotel maxim of per
sons without baggage are required
to pay in advance.
“Oh. I’ve got, the baggage,” and
the man lifted up a carpet hag.
“That won’t go.”
“Won’t you tuke this as secu-i
--ty ?”
“No; get out of here.”
“But I want to board here twenty
years.”
“Go on away.”
“I’ll leave your snide hotel, sir,
but first let me show you. He lift
ed up his carpet hag, opened it and
displayed 850,000 in government
bonds.
“You can stay, sir”
“No I believe not. It takes too
much money to put up in this ho
tel. Guess I’ll go round and put
up in wagon yard.”

A .Mattel Girl.
Do you want to read - this wood
picture of a modest girl? I wish
more of her class existed, tor the
sake of society at large. She is not
what ia cubed bunds.one. though
|ei»sessed of a quiet attractiveness
all of ber own. Her wardrobe is
f-hosen for quality according to her
Tunancial circumstances ; the colors
lare selected with caro, suitable to
each other and favorable to her
complexion, (von rnav call this
taste, so it is, “Modest taste”) tlie
style must, of course, tie as near
the popular fashion as she dare ap
proach, but never quite to the height;
when out calling or shopping, she
dresses with^neltn-88 and care; if
walking she neither moves too fas'
or too slow, but glides along with n
natural and graceful step which is
very bee ming, recognizing her
friends by a polite how or weltayne
grasp of the band; but there are
no demonstrative embrace or gush
ing words. She is strictly truthful.
When any question is being discus
sed, and her opinion is asked, she
gives it hesitatingly, not doubt fully ,
and, if not accepted, never allows
herself to utter a contradiction, but
calmly and quietly withdraws Iron
the discussion, although tier opit
ion is not lost or defeated by so do
ing on tlie contrary it almost al
ways carries weight and effect. —
Her acts and words ore unobtru
sive, but her influence is great in
the home which it is her happiness
to adorn.

All’ Throw Yourself In.
The Sioux city and Pacific train
stopped at Ottawa, and the smart
man on tlie train leaned out of the
window and shouted to a native :
“What is the name of this town?”
“Onawa,” replied the native.
“On a what?” quered the smart
man.
Patiently tlie native repeated the
name of the hamlet.
“Do you want to sell it ?” asked !
the smart man.
The patient, native “didn’t know;
’lowed maybe they’d sell if any
body wanted to buy it, bail enough."
I’ll give you twenty-eight cents
for it,” hid the smart man.
The native turned his head
thoughtfully on one side and con
sidered the propostion in silence.
F’inally he raised his head with the
air of a man who had about made
up his mind to trade.
‘ An’ throw yourself in ?” he asde
ed.
The window came down .with a
slam, a tit! a« the train pulled out,
there was laughter in Hie cif, but
the smart man couldn’t tell iwlieth
it was meant fur himself <>g the na
tive, although he was inclined to
think it was.

Escape of Sam ..ill.
Early Friday morning it was dis
covered that Sam Hill had escaped
from the asylum at Milledgsville.
where he had been sent hv a second
jury ll pity atrial of lunacy, after he
had he,-n round guilty of the mur
der of Simmon* in Atlanta, and
sentenced to the penitentiary for
life. The following-particulars arc
obtained from a gentleman visiting
tlie asylum at the time of his es
cape :
It will he remembered that near
ly oyery reporter who has visited
the asylum and Hill has descrined
»n extraordinary picture which the
unfortunate man was painting upon
the wall of his room—a picture
representing the court room and
the various figures therein—himself
wife, judge, etc. This picture was
mere outlined when last we saw it.
Hill appears to have had other in
tentions than mere amusement
when lie began tlmt picture. He
was allowed to have paints and
materials necessary for It is work,
for no attempt to e«cape was antic
ipated by the authorities. His
room opetnd into a corridor on th'
third floor. At each end of the C
tutor there was u door, which •
kept, locked. Hills method of
cape can only be guessed at I
the‘racks l)e left. It is stipi
to he as follows: His room
was always locked from the ou
He wanted to get a key to fit
lock, and to get an impression,
a square Id. ok'not of the door, la
iuu bare, the lock. This block n. >
tinder an old piece of canvas, which I
hung over the lock for Weeks, and
upon which he was accustomed •. I
try his colors. The block w- -" d
ly replaced, and the 1:1)1 place
visible.
i Having thus uh'- !l)np, l :)l1 impres
sion of his lock , it wms an ensv
matter for him lo turn it over to
any one of the \ numerous friends
wflto visited him. and to receive in
return a key a day* later.'
with tin- means e.f issuing from his
room at his disposal, he doubtless
slipped down the ha'l one night and
nl tained an impression of the cor
ridor door lock, from which n friend
likewise obtained for him tl kev.—
He had then the means of leaving
the asylum at his pleasure, for tin
path to tlie front door was unob
structed.
On the evening of the second, It
replied to n little girl who asKed
him about his picture, that he had
done all he intended to do .vilh it. ,
The next morning he was s't* >
.There was several letters upon his
‘table addressed to various parties.
I One to Dr. Powell, stated that dur
ing all the time he was allowed to
exercise in the front yard, Ii- Inid
nev-r sought to escape, because of,
his promise, but that the instant In
was locked up again that promise
ended, and being wrongfully in
carcerated, he could not consent m
remain. He stated that he would
never again enter the asvlum alive.
His slippers were found in the (rout
yard. His wife’s picture he carried
with him — Macon lelcyrayh.

S.in.uel Lyons drew nigh to the

I “Samuel," said Justice Murray,
“you were tound in Ola.i-k street,

Mrs. Lyons, * stout little lady,
dressed in deep mourning, testified
that her husband was not in the s
habit of drinking much, hut was
easily intoxicated. “We have a
nice little home in Valiev Park,

upon it; I walked the II or the
