I don’t believe in it at all—that is to say, I absolutely refuse to accept circumstances that strike me in a strange manner as anything other than circumstances —coincidences. And yet,” and the speaker toyed with the slender stem of of his wine glass, and seem ed to be trying to find some ex pression which would explain his views. The dinner party were smoking their cigars and chatting, when some one avowed his inability to shake off certain ideas which seem ed like superstition. “What [ do not believe,” the speaker went on, pushing the glass from him, “is that superstition is anything but imagination. But sjmetimes I find superstition gov-, evning my actions in apite of my self.” “In other words,” some one in terposed, “you say that you are not, when you know that you are.” “No, not exactly.” “Then you know that you are. not, but say that you are.” “Yes—no, that isn’t it, either,’’ and his hand again reached for the wifi e-glass. “Let me give you an example. When I was down in Georgia last winter, a friend gave me the ‘left bind foot of a grave-yard rabbit.’ A grave-yard rabbit is one which is shot in a burying-ground be tween sundown and dark The left hind foot is a voodoo, and, ac cording to tradition in Georgia, brings bad hick to the man upon whose heart a cross is defined with a couple of strokes of the soft brown foot. I put the little thing in my pocket with a laugh. When got home I was ill for two weeks, and could not go to my office du ring thut time. I finally got out only to drop a pretty sum on r. stock which seemed the surest on the market. I went to the races alone and lost. I went with friends, and we all lost. At the last moment I missed a contract which would have been worth §10,000 to me. I did not believe that the voodoo had anything to do with my ill-fortnue, but one day I took it from my pocket, and feeling ashamed of my weakness, put it in a drawer. I went to the races the next day, not to try the effect of the change, mind you, and won on everything. My stock vindicated itself immediately. I made a bet ter contract than the one I lost. I wouldn’t carry the voodoo again, but I knnow that it had nothing to do with my luck.” “But you are superstitious,” an other diner said. “No, I’m not. Bat when one gets an idea into his head like that, it makes him uncomfortable- The way I d® it is to remove the cause.” “Well,” said one of the party, laughing, “that comes pretty near superstition.” ‘Here’s r.nothor story,” pnt in an interested listener. “A friend of mine on leaving Paris, sold his cab for 1,300 francs. The bag gage of himself and wife consisted of thirteen pieces. The number of the cab which took them to the station was thirteen. The steamer sailed on the 13th day of the month. There were 1,300 souls on board, and the steamer was wrecked. He doesn’t believe in the unlucky, thirteen, and he laughs at the whole thing. But he has told me many times that he would never get on a steamer again under similar circumstances, be cause it would make him misera ble.” I still mnintain,” said the ad vocate'of snperstion, “that'that is the docrine of superstition.” “But I am not superstitious; declared the owner of the voo doo.” “Of course not, but—” ‘Til give you the j abbit’s foot if you will take it.” “No, thank you,” and the laugh turned on the scoffer. From Oar Dumb Animals. Tlipir Business Booming*. As we waited in the Louisville and Nashville depot at Nashville for the train, some one began cry ing, and an excitement was raised among the passengers. A 'brief investigation proved that it was an old colored man who was giving way to his grief. Three or four people remarked on the strange ness of it, but for some time no one said anything to him. Then a de pot policeman came-forward and took him by the arm, and shook him roughly by the arm, and said: “See here, old man, you want to quit that! You are drunk, and if you make any more disturbance, I’ll lock you up.” “’Deed, but I hain t drunk,” re plied the old man, as he removed the teal*-stained handkerchief. “I’ze losted my ticket an’ money, an 1 that’s what’s the matter.” “Bosh! You never had any money to lose. You dry up, or away you go.” What’s the matter here?” que ried a man, as he come forward. The old man recognized the dia lect of the southerner in an in stant, and repressing his emotion with a great effort, he answered: “Say, Marse Jack, I’ze bin rob bed.” “My name is White.” “Well, then, Marse White, some body has done robbed me of my ticket an’ money.” “Where were you going?” “Gwine down into Kaintuck, whar I was bo’n an’ raised. “Where’s that?” “Nigh to Bowlin’ Green; an’ when de wall dun set me free, sah, I come up dis way. Hain’t bin home since, sah.” “And you had a ticket?” “Yes, sah, an’ over §20 in cash. Bin savin’ up for ten y’ars, sah.” “What do you want to go back for?” “To see de hils an’ de fields, de tobacco an’ de co’n, Marse Preston and de good old Missus. Why, Marse White, I’zedone bin prayin’ fur it fo’ twenty y’ars. Sometimes de longin’ has come till I could hardly hold myself.” “It’s too bad.” “De ole woman is buried down Jar, Marse White—de ole woman an free chillen. I kin member de spot same as I seed it yisterday. You go out half way to de fust to- backer house, den you turn to de left an’ go down to de branch whar de wirneu used ter wash. Dar’s fo’ trees on de odder bank, an’ right under ’em is whar dey is all bur ied. I kin see it! I kin lead you right to de spot!” “And what will you do when you get there?” asked the stranger. “Go up to de big house an’ ax Marse Preston to let me lib out de rest ob my days right dar. I’ze ole an’ alone, an’ 1 want to be nigh my dead. Sorter company fer me when my heart aches.” “Where were you robbed?” “Out doahs, dar, I reckon, in de crowd. See? De pocket is all cut out. l’ze dreamed an’ pondered— I’ze had dis journey in my mind fer y’ars and y’ars, an’ now I’ze done bin robbed an’ can’t go!” He fell to crying again, and the policeman came forwerd in an offi cious manner. * “Stand back, sir!’’ commanded the stranger. “Now, gentlemen, you have heard the story. I’m going to help the old man back to die on the old plantation, and be buried alongside of his dead.” “So am I,” called twenty men in chorus, and in twenty minntes we had raised enough to buy him a ticket and leave §50 to spare. And when he realized his luck, the old snow-haired black fell upon his knees in that crowd and prayed: “Lord, I’ze bin a believer in you all my days, an’ now 1 dun. axes you to watch ober dese yere white folks dat has believed in me an’ helped me to get back to de ole home.” And I do believe nine-tenths of that crowd had teers in their eyes as the gateman called out the train for Louisville. Savannah Pittsburgh Dispatch. A special train pulled out from ; is expected that there will be the union depot with a number of ■ an interesting and very, lively de contractors on board.

The ju- garments, previous to ascending! dicial Y committee did not make the mountain-for the day was any report on the bill. J terribly hot—and after some ex ertion the hill was at last success fully ascended, the party sought the shade of the trees and listened to Dr. Emmens’ son explain the good qualities of the explosive. He gave several tests to show that the powder would not be exploded by concussion or heat. Aout an ounce of powder was placed on-a shovel and a match ap plied to it. • There was no explo sion as some expected, but the powder began to burn very slow ly and continued to burn while fire was put to it, but immediately went out after the match was with drawn. Mr. Emmens then put an ounce of powder on apiece of iron and struck it several blows in suc cession, which had no effect on the powder. He then placed four sticks of the emensite against a tree and fired a rifle at it. The ball penetrated the powder, but did not explode to the amazement of the spectators. Thirty-five sticks of the stuff were next dropped into a hole 19 feet deep and 2% feet wide. A ful minating cap was inserted into one of the yellow sticks of powder, and this was attached to an elec tric battery. At a given signal the handle to the battery box was raised by one of the workmen, and there was a most terrific ex plosion. A massive blue rock weighing at least fifty tons was displaced by the emmensite. A charge was then placed in nine different holes, each twelve feet deep, and they were exploded simultaneously, blowing up the side of a Ml! for fifty feet the av erage depth of twelve feet. A test was then made on the surface of a large rock. One ounce of emmen site was place on the rock and ex ploded, splitting the huge boulder in twain. A test was then made with dyna mite, and it took five ounces to crack the rock-tin the same manner. The manner in ivhieh gelbite was next shown. This is nothing but au ordinary piece of paper placed in a solution of emmensite. This paper was wrapped up and insert ed into the shell of a cartridge, with a small fulminating cap cap on the end. This was placed in a revoler and discharged in the same way as a cartrikge loaded with powder. The party then descended the hill and partook of refreshments that had been provided for tqe oc casion and afterward returned to the city. Every person was satisfied that the new powder was the thing. In speaking of the explosive, a contractor said: I think that the new powder will be adopted univer sally for blasting purposes and for an implement of warfare. The English government is now negotiating with Dr. Emmens to manufacture a large supply of pow der to be used for experiment ing. - Victor Boulet, a poor workman at Keeneville, N. Y., has made a lucky find. The path from his house to the gute had worn down so that some of the stones in it had become tronblesome. One morning he took a crowbar and be gan prying them up.. He found that they were cobblestones that had been driven into the ground, forming a circle. Beneath them was a large flat stone. His curios ity was excited, and he pried up the latter, when he discovered be neath it a brass kettle fall of mon ey, but whether gold or silver is not stated.

It did not seem to want to say anything for or against it for 3ome reason or other. The question whether aliens shonld be permitted to own lands has been discussed for several years. As a general thing, labor organizations are against allowing them such a privilege, and those associations which uphold the idea of “America for Americans” have for years insisted that there shonld be some legislation that would pre vent citizens of other countries from acquiring title to land in this country. Foreigners own more land this country than is generally sup posed. There are English compa nies which own vast tracts of land in the western states and in the territories. In Illinois there are aliens who own thousands of acres each, and who have introduced there the English tenant system. One man, a citizen of Ireland, owns scores of farms. He does not keep them in a very high state of im provement, and his only purpose appears to be to get out of them all he can. His tenants have few advantages and are scarcely able to make a Jiving. They are dealt with in the most arbitrary way by the agent who has charge of the property, and, as a consequence, there is a great deal of dissatisfac tion among them. The question which the bill pre sents is not free from difficulties. Indeed, it is doubtful whether the legislation which the bill proposes would be constitutional. Can the federal government take from the states the right to say who shall and who shall not own land within their limits? It is argued, of course, that the government has just as much right to say whether aliens shall have the right to pur chase lands in this conntry as it has to say that certain classes of immigrants—Chinese, for instance shall not come into this conntry. But may not the Chinese exclusion act be unconstitutional, and would not any act shutting out certain classes of immigrants from Euro- peon conntries be upconstitation- ? These and other questions are likely to be raised when the alien land bill is considered. . There is a difference, no donbt, between permitting persons who might be come dangerous to the country’s welfare to enter the country and allowing foreigners to obtain a proprietary right in lands, bat the difference is not so very great from a constitutional standpoint. The fact that thejndiciary commit tee Tailed to express an opinion with respect to the bill would seem to indicate that it is not wholly satisfied with regard, to some of the questions which the bill presents; . AtlasU Constitution, In a recent letter to a friend this city Prof. W. LeConte Stevens makes a suggestion of vital inter est to the cause of education The professor says: “The south has been making great strides in material advancement, but in its edncational institutions the ad vance has not been proportionate. It needs, and will long continue to need, stimulation. A conspicuous need of thiB stimulation is found the universal indisposition of wealthy men at the south to make bequests in favor of colleges and universities. The universities of Georgia,. South Carolina and Vir ginia .are cramped for money, while Harvard, Yale and Prince ton are continually receiving ac cessions to their endowment funds. The fashion to give to educational institutions has not yet reached the south, and stimulation will have to be applied before it ever is set.” Perhaps Professor Stevens takes a gloomy view of the outlook. The American beer drinkers who im agine that in all cases they get the genuine pare malt product, will be interested in the lively fight wMch is now being waged at Washing ton against legislation prohibiting the manofactnre of beer oat of glacose and each other mysterions articles. Judging by the energet ic nature of the protest, glacose beer making must be an establish ed industry of considerable magni tude. Iu spite of the undeniable growth of pronounced temperance sentiment among the American people, the production of beer in the United States, which was 8,- 383,790 barrels in 1875, was 3,098,- 765 barrels in 1889, or a little less than half a barrel per capita of oar population Considering the large and increasing number of total ab stainers among the male adults, to say nothing of women and chil dren, it is obvious that this leaves our active beer drinkers a very gifts made by Peabody, Seney, Brown, Pattillo, Scott and others to southern edncational institu tions, show that some of onr wealthy men are willing to do a great deal to help along the cause, but ibmnst be admitted that the n ames of such princely benef actors are very fen in number. We prefer, however, to take an optimistic view. Onr men of wealth as a role are as conspicuous for their brains as for their bul lion. They are interested in the progress of the south, and they know that when the the cause of higher education languishes, onr people will be dependent upon out side institutions and alien teachers. Under such adverse circumstances, succeeding generations of south erners will represent northern ideas and principles, and very lit tle of the south will remain. Many of our wealthy men give liberally, in a public-spirited way, to enterprises of transient interest and importance. This is well enough, bat the best and most en- during monuments that wise and good men can leave behind them are living monuments—men, high- minded men, the glory and strength of a state. When one associates his name for all time to come with the institutions which mould such men, and raise them up as the bnl- warks of the commonwealth,-it is a proud heritages fo bequeath to his descendants. This is the feeling among wealthy men in England and in the older northern states. These men inspired by the ambi tion to live through the centuries, and be honored by the latest pos terity, have linked their names and their fortunes with good works. This disposition, while not yet general, will grow in the south, and some who read these lines will gludly come to the aid of the col leges and'universities of Georgia, the Carolines and Virginia. A be ginning has been made. Let it be continued, and in a short time the endowment funds of southern col leges will reach a figure that will make them compare respectfully with their norhern rivals.

In 1860, with a population only about half as large as that at present, the United Statei^consnmed 89,968,551 gallons of spirits. In 1889 the consump tion had fallen to between 76,- 000,000 and 77,000,000 gallons, That is, beer had. taken the place of whisky as the favorite tipple of drinking Americans. Whether the change has been in any degree advantageous is a hotly-debated question. Brewers are very posi tive that tbe substitution of milder malt liquors for the fiery and con centrated spirits has been benefi- cial to tbe physique and the mor als of the people. Bat on the oth er hand, a recent symposium of eminent physicians inclined sharp ly to the opinion that if a man ha> to use alcohol at all he had better take carefully selected gin, brandy or whisky in very moderate doses.
