Indian Spring Re.errs.

of the same. As it now stands it is in
B measure worthless to the 8tate and

No matter how hard and ugly
the truth is, it is more pleasing
than tho affectation of what is

or people like “Bill Simpson’s darter."
A gentleman traveling lmm Buffalo to

At Albany two ladies, dressed In the

Their manners indicated great affecta
tion and consequent shallowness.
Th tly unoccupied seat in the ear
was directly behind a quiet looking
lady, evidently from the country. Her
dress was of calico, her bonnet of
plain straw, and her gloves were of
cotton. She could not, however, have
looked neater and she hod a good, hon

As the fashionable ladies adjusted
their draperies in the un< - . uph-d seat,

A gentleman in Clarksville reports
tho following chicken and locust story.
After be had seen the chicken swallow
three or four locusts, he could see them
working about its craw, and hear them
poor forth their lonesome wail, almost
as distinctly as though they were in
tho open air, and while endeavoring to
make their escape from their portable
grave, it was amusing to see the chick
en cramming them back to the place
where soon they were to be ground to

Bays Ha Will Not Resign*
Bepresentativo N. B. Cash, of Jack-
son county, lately appointed revenue
collector, says there is no law that can
make him resign his seat in the pres
ent Legislature. Tho best reason Dr.
Cash gives for not resigning is that it
would bo the ruin of tho farmers of
Jackson county to have an election at
this time of tho year. Thero are at
least ten or fifteen candidates for the
office, and it they all canvassed the
county and got the negroes excited that
they would lose the present crop.

On Sunday Mr. Richard Stilwell.who
lived on tho Towaliga river in the wes

It was his custom to closo himself up
in his room at times, when laboring
under mental aberration, and remain
there for a day and night, when be
would recover and bo all right again,
and this tima he wss allowed to remain
from Sunday until Monday morning
when his door was found open, and tho
horrible sight of tho old man hanging
by tho neck to a rope suspended from
a joist met tho eye. No reason is
known why bo committed the rash act

New York .Sun. .
*' 1 Interior decoration has been greatly
affected by electric lighting,** said C.
L. Ciarko, formerly Edison’s first as-
u. vuaiau, lutauLiij Asuaouu a utok no
aistant at Menlo I'ark, as he and a San
reporter entered the large -h->w-r-»mi
of a manufactory of electrical appar
atus. “Look at those globes and you
will seo shapes which were never
thought of before electric lights were
introduced.”
Tho reporter looked in the direction
in which Mr. Ciarko pointed, jnd saw
many rows of gloss globes of various
plispcs, bat nono resembling thoso
usually seen on gas fixtures. Some
were formed liko lilies, somo like blue
bells, and these, witli many variations
color and size, met] tho eye in large
numbers.
'These shapes have been devel
oped,” continued the electrical en
gineer, "by electric lighting. Electric
lights hang downward, and globes
formed like these end up the fixtures
most gracefully, the curved rod to
which the lamp is attached being
gnrded as tho stem and tho globe .
the flower. You will seo thlsprinciplo
carried out in many of the fixtures
overhead.”
Looking up the reporter saw sus
pended from rods running across the
ceiling hundreds of fixtures. Espe
cially noticeable were some brass
chandeliers which had been imported
from London. They were worked it,
beautiful designs of leafy, drooping
brandies, wi it glass blossoms enclos
ing the electric lamps. Near by was a
chandelier of crystals ornamented with
jeweled glass. Mr. Clark turned on
a switch, and in a moment the room
was brilliantly illuminated. The cur
rent had ran along the rods and the
electric lamps went lighted. There wss
a wealth of color—shimmers of blue,
orange,carmine and yellow—and raanv
tints reflected from brass and crystal.
Tho finest fixture was an enormous
panel ol brass set in the wall. It
represented trellis work and vines. In
addition to tho colored globes, the
glass on the lamps themselves were
colored. As a result many colored
lights shimmered among the leaves.
Another handsome fixture, not for
lighting, bat merely for decorat-
ting purposes, was a center
piece for a ceiling. It was a large
semi-globe of opaqna substance,
studded with jeweled glass. This was
placed over a cluster of electric lamps.
When the latter were lighted the Jew
eled glass glowed. This fixture is de
signed for a room with a looking-glass
frieze which will reflect tho glow.
