THE CANDLE FLY.
The candle-fly flickers around and
around,
Then he flops right down with a flut-
ter,
But it’s no use looking—he is not to be
found,
For he sinks out of sight in the but
ter.
You can nevermore avoid
^ Being thuswise annoyed.
[ Just as long as you idolize the quarter,
The provisions will be slim,
And the candle flies will swim
[ In the butter, for it’s soft as the water.
That is what people who do not use
Refrigerators Jo,contend with, but

Don’t worry and toil,
Buy fresh meats to spoil,
Then rave and get hot in the collar,

And the “Baldwin” he sells
Will keep your meats sound as a dollar.

Godwin, Saturday morning, on

Wb invite special attention to an
advertisement of Union Female Col
lege, Eufaula, Ala., of which Prof. T.
J. Simmons, recently connected with
the public schools of Dawson, is Pres
ident. Prof. Simmons and his accom

of the beat people of Albany, and
pupils will, no doubt, be sent to them
from this city and section. Prof.
Simmons ranks high rs an educator,
and his wife, who is to have charge of
the conservatory of muaio in connec
tion with Union Female College, ia
without a superior in any of our
Southern colleges in her line of work.
It is not generally known that a
bale of ootton prepared for shipment
abroad is so tightly compressed that it
may drift about the ocean for mouths
without becoming water-lugged. It
is, however, true that the euormoiiB
pressure exerted upon the cotton in
order to reduce it to the smallest pos
sible space, makes the package almost
entirely water-proof, and the firm
bales have been known to fioot around
until covered with barnacles. Cap
tain Legrange, of the British steamer
Beresford, now at the port of Phila
delphia, tells the Record that while in
mid-ocean he picked up a bale that
had evidently been lost from some
storm-tossed vessel many months ago.
It was covered with barnacles, but the
water had not penetrated more than
three inches into the staple.

In Anil.
Will Teemer, the darky who so nearly
killed Capt. John W. Stephens Sunday
afternoon, and who lias since been be
hind the bars of the county jail, lias
been trying to gain hia liberty ever
since the beginning of his incarcera
tion, and tile oliicers have had him re
moved to a cell in tile old city guard
house, which stands on the jail lot,
where he is more alone, and can be
better watched.
Teemer has an idea that he is going
to. die, and, at times, lies down, folds
his hands over his breast, and an
nounces that he is ready. There are
times, too, when he gets to raving,
tries to tear down the doors, and
break through the windows of his cell.
Last Thursday he tore a scantling
from a window, and was desperately
endeavoring to pry up the planks of
the floor, when Deputy Sheriff God
win interposed, and deprived him of
his improvised tool.
As soon as Judge Sam W. Smith re
turns home, Teemer will be tried for
lunacy and sent to the asylum for
treatment.

ALWAYS BUOYANT.
She Work* Dally With a Man of Dry Sci
ence, hut She Qvorcomes That.
A woman who is secretary for a
well known scientific man has caused
much secret envy among her sex be
cause of the abounding vitality she
always displays. Some of her less
energetic friends assert that her vi
tality is positively irritating. She
works nil day, and she stays up as
late ns she wants to, having the
good times which most women who
work hard deny themselves, Baying
they "simply must huve time for
rest.” She is always alert mentally
and physically. This, sho says, is
the way she does it: She rises early.
Tliut at the outset would frighten
most people out of their desire to bo
perennially gay. Her next move is
more encouraging, for she differs
from those disagreeable people who
recommend a cold plunge for the first
act of tlie day. Sho doesn't beliove
in cold plunges, but slie docs dush
cold water in her face, then eats nn
orange or some other fruit in sea
son and bathes her fnco, neck and
arms. By the timo breakfast is
ready and less resolute people nre
rubbing tlieir eyes and saying sleep
ily: “Mercy! Is it breakfast time?”
she has copied her report of a lecture
or prepared some original matter for
tlio publisher. Her morning meal
begins with more fruit. Sho is a
great believer in fruit and water,
but takes the former internally and
tho latter externally. Much drink
ing of water, she contends, makes
tho llesli soft and flabby; much bath
ing makes it firm and elastic.
After breakfast yomos the long
puU of the day’s work with the
learned man. He, it is whispered,
does not yocognizo grammar as his
strong point—at least his secretary
does not. After pursuing the elusive
rules of syntax and rhetoric through
the labyrinth of bis treatises, Bhe
goes home a mental uud physical
wreck. But sho looks at her hag
gard fuco in tlie gloss and smiles
scornfully and inhospitably upon it.
Sho waves her wand, otherwise her
hairbrush, diligently for awhile and
bathes her face and arms in very
hot water. Finally she heats her
hand, moistened with aromatic vin
egar, rubs tho back of her neck well,
then looks in tho glass, and, presto I
tho haggard face is gone, and a rosy
one appears instead.
Late in the evening the superior
secretary likes to indulge in a craok-
er and some stowed fruit, and the
last act of tho day is her' bath.
Three times a week she indulges in a
sulphur bath. She had shrewdly ob
served that at tlie sulphur springs
even wrinkled old ladies came from
the baths with a soft pink glow tango
ing their yellow cheeks. Consequent
ly she triod manufacturing her own
sulphur baths. She throws a hand
ful of sulphur into the bathtub, and
the next morning slio has as pretty
a flush ns it 8-year-old baby.
She admits that it takes determi
nation to inaugurate this regime, but
claims that once sturted it supports
itself by the extra energy it super
induces, And then sho exults. And
her indolent sisters suy she is very
irritating. “Her spirits are so ani
mal."—New York Sun.

The last place on earth from which
one would expect to hear of railroad
washouts, especially at this Season of the
year, is Arizona. That region has a rep
utation for aridity that is unoqualed on
tho continent. It is generally considered
a land of perpetual drought. It scarce
ly ever rains there at any season, and in
tin
10 summer time rain is rogarded as
something unnatural.
But it has boon raining like fury dur
ing tho last few days in Arizonn. The
downpour has oxtended to Now Mexico,
and there have even been heavy shower*
on the Mohave desert in California. In
Arizona the freshets have been so vio
lent that numerous washouts have oc
curred along the line of tho Squthern
Pacific. Between Gila Bend and Lords-
burg. N. M., track, trestles, embank
ments and bridge approaches have been
carried away.
Three engines have been ditched and
temporarily disabled. Inconsequence of
these mishaps trains are delayed and
traffic generally interrupted. Yesterday
Genoral Superintendent Fillmore was
principally occupied in reading telegrams
informing him of fresh damages and
anathematizing Arizona for being such
an infernally contrary country.
As usually happens in arid lands, the
recent rains in the desert region between
Yuma and Doming have partaken of tlie
nat-uro of cloudbursts. The tomjiest
breaks with sudden fury, and the rain
falls in torrents, swelling every dry
ravine into tho proportions of rushing
streams.—San Francisco Chroniclo.

The Chinese Scriptures or sacred
books wore compiled and partly com
posed by Confucius himself. They
are divided into fivo books—viz:
‘The Yi-King,” which treats whol
ly of cosmogony.
‘ ‘Shu-King, ” the acts and wise max
ims of Yaoa, Shun and other ancient
Chinese kings and philosophers, who
are now held in great veneration.
“Shi-King,” which contains 811 sa
cred poems.
“Ee-King,"or “The Book of Rites,”
which is a repository of maxims and
directions for everyday life of all
sorts and conditions of people.
. “Chun-Tsien,” which is a history
of the time of Confucius. These
books taken collectively are usually
referred to in lists of “hiblesof the
world" as “The Fivo Kings." The
word “king” in this connection, ns I
understand it, simply means “book."

Cutting Pun Out of Politics.
The truth is, people must either light
or laugh, and wo prefer to laugh. Once
in awliilo partisans got into a hot de
bate and break tho furniture, but os a
genoral tiling wo take matters good
humorcdly, mid if a roportor is really
witty we smile as broadly as circum
stances permit. It is very interesting,
therefore, to read the comments of our
contemporaries. Horo is The Tribune,
for instance, with a choice variety of

ridicule of the other follow. It has a
specialist who extracts all tho wasp

0. L. Simonds of Lynn lias made a
stonm carriage for his own use tlmt will
make 10 miles an hour. Tho carriage
weighs only -10 J pounds uud can carry
two persons at a lime. It has the ap
pearance of an ordinary carriage in
front, except there nro no provisions
mado for a horBo. The wheels are of cy
cle make and are four in number. The
bind wheels are 43 inches, and the front
wheels are 80 inches, with rubber tires.
Tho holler and engine are just in the
rear of the seat and give the carriage the
appearanco of a fire engine. The steam
generates in what is called a porcupine
boiler, which weighs 100 pounds. The
steam is made by naphtha flames from
three jets. Tho naphtha is kept in a cyl
inder, enough to lost for seven hours,
anl there is a water tank that will hold
10 gallons. The steering part consists
of a crank wheel on the footboard, so
that the engineer can steer and attend to
the engine at the same time.—Boston
