1’oltte Photographers.
The knack which French photogra
phers. and especially those of Paris,
possess in relieving their sitters of a
constrained and distressed look while
efttitig for their portraits has long been
the envy and perplexity of photogra
phers of other nations. An American
photographer, on a recent visit to Paris
look pains to study the means by which
this very desirable result was reached
He reports that It all lies m a very
simple device, which well illustrates
the nature of the Frenchman.
When a lady, for instance, is sitting
to a photographer for a portrait, the
operator does not. in a perfunctory
manner, coldly request her to “Look
pleasant now, ma’am!" He says to her
in the most natural and graceful man
ner in the world:
“It’s quite unnecessary to asl; madam
to look pleasaut; she could not look
otherwise!”
The huly of course acknowledges the
compliment with her most gracious
and highbred smile. ••Click!" goes the
camera and the picture is obtained, re
vealing the sitter at her high water
mark, as it were.—Youth’s Companion

How it Prinotior Khch|ilm1.
If wo will only rightly use little tilings
it is surprising how much may’ some
times be done with them. A vizier, hav
ing offended his royal master, was con
demned to lifelong imprisonment in u
high, tower, and every night his wife
used to couio and weep nt its foot. “(Jo
home,” said the husband, “and (hid a
black beetle, and then bring a bit of
butter and three strings—one of fine silk,
one of 8tout twine, another of whipcord
—and a strong rope.”
When she came provided with every
thing he told her to put a touch of but
ter on the beetle’s head, tie the silk
thread around him and place him on the
wall of tlio tower. Deceived by the
smell of butter, which he supposed was
above him, the insect continued to as
cend till ho reached the top, and thus
the vizier secured the silk thread. By it
lie pulled up the twine, then the whip
cord, and then a strong rope, by which
he finally escaped.—Detroit Free Press.

Lime in the Saliva.
A series of observations has been
made by a Russian physician to de
termine the quantity of lime in the
saliva. In perfectly normal cases
from 2 to 3 per cent, of lime was
found, there being more a few hours
after a meal than either just before
or just after it. A rise of body tem
perature, too, appeared to cause an
increase in the amount of lime.
When any of the teeth were affected

r8AHKLT.A, July 28, 1892.
Russell nnd Spence were with us to
day. Their announcement for this
plaee had not been made in time to
secure the gathering that such talent
merited, but these exponents of rock-
ribbed Democracy laid an enthusiast io
and appreciative audience to-day that
cheered their spontaneous efforts to
the echo.
The Democratic forces hi old Worth
are rallying to their standard. A
campaign club lias been organized iu
nearly every militia district, and
Democratic dinners and speakers are
the order of the day. A barbecue will
be given nt Alford & Sloan’s tram-road
on Thursday next, and Democrats and
Third Party men are invited to be
there mid discuss the issues of the day.
At 11 o’clock Hon. B. E. Russell was
introduced to the audience by Hon.
Wm. A. Harris us a man who was a
Democrat, had always been a Demo
crat, and did not want to he anything
but a Democrat.
Mr. Russell ascended the stand un
der a storm of cheers, and began his
remarks by paying a just tribute Jo
Mr. Harris ami Worth county. He
then proceeded to give his reasons tor
being a candidate.
The Democracy was in danger from
an injection that had been forced Into
tlio life-blood ol' the party by a politi
cal machine tliat claimed to represent
a recent business organization. He
did not believe that this machine rep
resents the views of the rank and die
of the Alliance. These Alllanceinen
lie believed to be the same true and
tried Democrats win, hail rallied to
their standard anil wrested their coun
try from tile hands of Northern and
carpet-bag rule._
He did riot, believe that those Demo
crats would desert their party new,
and follow after false idols! tint that
the -majority of the so-enlled Ocala
men were rock-ribbed Democrats.
But in Hie face of this new political
octopus, the so-called Democratic lead
ers were silent, many of them fran
tically trying to straddle the fence,
and others sawing wood and saving
nothing. Ill this emergency lie had
been asked to uphold Democracy’s
standard. The cause of this was than
he had always been in the liabit of
talking, ever since he had been born
talking, and had always been too ready
to speak out. In meeting.
In these days of Third Party pre-
tensiops, no oho had been upholding
Democratic principles but its own un-
ternfled press, but the Democratic
banner was not trailing in the dust.
Last wepk lie had seen 1,700 Demo
crats in Golquiljt. county, and 2,500 in
Berrien couhtyi' Many of these men
were members of the Farmers’ Alli
ance. But were these men, these
ragged and half-starved veterans who
had come home from Lee’s army to
their ragged and half-stprved wives
and children, and.wjio had beep the
first ones to enable Georgia to throw
off the force of Northern bayonets
and build up homes over the ashes of
their burned ones, were these men
prepared to turn their country, which
they had shed their life-blood to Bave,
over to the visionary cranks and office-
seekers wlio, were seeking to prosti
tute : their principles for their own
ends? No! a thousand times, no!
Tile American people could always
be depended upon in any square issue.
They should be listened to, and not
the office-hunters. He briefly sketched
the situation two years ago ill Decatur,
when politicians in the Alliance
sought to control its actions, aed sig
nally failed.
In reply to the oft-repeated song
that Democracy had done nothing, he
spoke of the situation at the close of
tile war, and the days of reconstruc
tion when you met Federal bayonets
on every public road, and were sur
rounded by them when you went to
cast your ballot. When they con
trolled tile State treasury, and stole
thousands of dollars annually. Talk
about scarcity of money now, but if we
had back only the money that was
stolen from us in those stormy days, it
would give us $100 for every man,
woman and child in Georgia, instead
of the paltry $50 called for by vision
ary reformers. Yet he had heard
Third Party men wish that those days
of carpet-bag and Negro supremacy
were back again, because then green
backs were plentiful! In those days,
when.we had no voice in our own gov
ernment, it was only Randall and his
band of true and tried Democrats that
acted as a check upon the rapacity of
the Re; mblir.au party. It was the
Deinoor .tie party that put us back
Into the house 6f our fathers, which
we had: helped to build, nnd again
gave uf u voice in our government.
Every law upon tile statutes of the
tjmted'States that were in favor of the
Southern man, had been placed there
i l,y tlie efforts of Democracy. The
Democratic party was the only party
that wu* not the creature of one sec
tion, hut of Hie whole people.
'Talking about increasing the per
capita circulation, which was already
$23, inure than tliat of almost any
other country, nnd sufficient for the
needs of all, legitimate exchnnge, the
reason we did not have more of it was
bVCnifkoV 0 paid all out in taxes ami
got none back. It was a question ol'
disbursements, not of increase. There
were $1^1,000,001) paid out every year
in .pendens, Only a handful come
South. '
There were over $250,000,000 taken
out of Jour pockets every year and
given til the proteoted manufacturers
of the North.
There-wcrc the enormous River ntnl
Harbor I appropriations, which were
nearly nil spent In the North.
He oojtrnsted the Mills nnd McKin
ley tariff bills. It was absolutely
necessaay for tlio framers of the Mills
blil to Leap a lnrge portion of the
tariff to meet the demands on the
treasury caused by Republican ex
travagance, but they proposed to take
the lax oil’ the necessities of the peo
ple, and put It on the luxuries, and
therefore-on those who were able to
pay It. The object of the MoKinloy
bill was the reverse, It taxed dia
monds 19 per cent., and window glass
60 per cent.; it taxed jewelry 25 per
cent,, and horseshoe nn I is 118 percent.;
broadcloth 40 per cent., nnd a woolen
shawl 82 per cent., nnd so on.
Speaking of staying dut of politics,
no good man could do It who loved his
home mid Ills children. They were
tile skirmish line of government.
They made tile laws and the govern
ment.
Hpeakjng of the Third Party, he
citetl vojers to its lenders. Not a single
one of tllem lins any record as n states
man. Donelly was known ns the au
thor of two books, Jerry Simpson
because he wore no socks, and Mrs.
Lease because slie wns the llrst woinnn
ever to.gn upon the political stump In
Georgia;'
After tin eloquent eulogy of Cleve
land, Mr. Russell spoke of the two
armies who were now confronting
each other for battle. These were the
Democrats and Republicans. Were
the voters of Worth prepared to
weaken the one of tlnir principles by
desertion and go off and join the cor
poral’s guard of the Third Party?
Were they prepared to go off Into the
woods hunting jay birds while lions
and tigers were threatening to break
down tlie doors of their dwellings?
The Negro was nuw happy nnd con
tented. But when they saw the white
people divided, and Republican lead
ers- came nm6hg them pointing out
their lime for action, would they re
fuse to act? No, they would not, ami
It would not be many days after they
got control of State government be
fore every white man would have tp
stand guard at his door.
In conclusion, he begged that no
man would consider him personally.
He wns not even nn atom compared
to the safety of the South and the
white people, and would gladly sink
Into utter oblivion if only he could
see the banner of Democracy planted
on the walls of a white man’s govern
ment.
Mr. Russell was cheered to the coho
In every one of his utterances, and
when he spoke of Cleveland the House
went wild.
Then there were calls for Spence, and
that able bulwark of Georgia law took
the stand. ,
He was only before the people now
because the situation in the Second
called upon all her sons to do their
duty, and because he had heard the
Democratic party maligned and tra
duced.
There were now two candidates be
fore the people for Representative
from the Second Congressional Dis
trict. One of them was a Democrat
nnd had been one of the hardest bat
tlers for white Supremacy in the days
of reconstruction. No man had to ask
him where he stood. As to the char
acter of the man he would relate a lit
tle anecdote. In 1872, when Rich and
Whitely was running for Congress,
Whitely held a mortgage on the outfit
of the Bainbndge Democrat, of which
Russell was then editor and proprie
tor. Whitely went toJRussell and
threatened to' foreclose on him, but
told him that if he would go to Albany
and establish a newspaper there,- that
he, Whiteley, would pav all ol’ the ex
penses, and give Russell $100 per
month as managing editor, and White
ly would edit it himself. Although
the Democrat was Russell’s meat and
bread, he indignantly refused his of
fer, and by the help of some patriotic
South Carolinians had anew outfit
ready when Whiteley levied on Ills old
one, and the Democrat wns still a Dem
ocratic paper.
Col. Spence went over the situation
of polities in the Second, and spoke
especially of the District Alliance,
which he did not believe represented
Alliance principles because it was
nothing but a political organization,
nnd lmd done nothing since it was or
ganized in this district but political
acts. He asked nny Alllnneenmn pres
ent who considered its action binding
upon him to speak, but there wns no
answer. He hnd asked others the same
question, nnd they said no. It hnd
put a man before tlie people who was
not known. Men told him who voted
for Stevens that, If they lmd known
his record, they would not have voted
for him. A majority of the men who
put him nut for n Democratic candi
date lmd now joined another party*
Wns their notion binding upon Demo
crats' 1 Did nny man know where Ste
vens stood? He had persistently re
fused to attend Democratic mass meet
ings or address Demooratio audiences.
No word of Democracy had nppcnreil
In his circulars. Half of Ills Executive
Committee were Third party men.
Sir. Stevens was In the Georgia Leg
islature from ’88 to ’87. He had voted
to take from the Railroad Commission
the power to regulate freight nnd pns-
8enger tariffs on the railroads. Re
had voted twloe against the Glenn
law compelling roads to pay taxes In
the counties where their property lay.
He referred to the action of the po
litical mnehino in calling conventions
in Thomas, Early and Worth, and how,
although they lmd been the first to de
mand primaries, they now were light
ing with all their might ngnlnst them
nnd their people,
He spoke wnrmly in explanation
nnd defense of the notion of the
Democratic District Executive Com
mittee. They noted according to the
power vested In them by their party
two years before, nnd by the Alliance
Legislature, and by the precedent of
every political party since the war,
Col. Spenee’B argument was a long
and Interesting one, of whioh the fore
going Is hardly a synopsis. He was
frequently cheered, nnd his effort did
credit even to the eloquent orator that
he is so well known to be.
After his speeoh Mr. W. A. Allen
arose, and stated In a plain and oom
prcheuslve manner the reason for call
ing the primaries July 80. It waB to
enable candidates who might be out
time to discuss their views before the
people; to enable the people to first
see all the national platforms put
forth by the various political parties,
and were all callod for one day to pro
yent wire-working and preolnot-heel
ing by the various candidates.
On motion of Col. T. R. Perry, of Ty
Ty, the Democrats present then as
sembled In mass meeting, chose J. G,
Polhlil as chnlrmnn, and J. L. Herring
secretary,
Maj. Harris then stated the objeet of
the meeting to be to ascertain if the
Democrats were satisfied with the
action of the meeting of’June (1th
Mali Harris then denounced In nn ein
plmtle nnd, uncompromising mnnner
the report that he was a Third Party
man, or affiliating with that party,
and tendered his resignation as chair
man cf the executive committee.
Col. Perry Then spoke briefly of the
aspersions upon the Major’s charaoter,
and called upon all present who knew
It to be false to rise to their feet.
Every man rose. The meeting abso
lutely refused to even consider l)ls
resignation, and he withdrew It.
Col. Perry then offered the follow
ing resolution, which wns unanimously
adopted;
Resolved, by this meeting of Demo
crats, That the ohnirmnn of the Dem
ocratic Kxeoutivo Committee bo re-
3 uesteil to call a primary election for
lily 80, for the purpose of eleoting
delegates to attend the convention to
nominate a Demooratio candidate to
represent the Second Congressional
district In the Fifty-third Congress,
ns recommended by the Democratic
Executive Committee of the dietrict
and also by the unanimous consent of
a Demooratio mass meeting held in
Isabella on April 5.
After a few more speeches,the meet-
ng adjourned. II.
