I OtllLLA, GEORGIA. HENDERSON & HANLON, Publishers. Spain has declared a general pardon for deserters from the navy. Under the circumstances they could hardly 36 blamed. Official statistics from seventeen leading American cities show a slight decrease in building operation values during the past year. The total for the seventeen cities was $202,000,000 in 1897 aud $181,000,000 in 1898, a decrease of $21,000,000, or 10.4 per cent. The largest cities showed a de¬ cline, but the small municipalities in¬ dicate increased activity in this line. With Adolphe d’Ennery passes aivay the last of the great French meio- dramatists who were coeval with the elder Dumas. It is not too much to say that he did more to make the drama of emotion by situation and machinery widespread than any other playwright. He was content if his ventures paid largely, and let art take care of itself. His “Two Orphans” showed him at his best. His heroes and heroines were apt to be very much of a kind, but oh! what villains he constructed! He lived eighty-eight years, and died worth $3,000,000. Virtue in his plays was never more conspicuously rewarded. In connection with the discussion regarding the competition in trade be¬ tween Great Britain and the United States, the English and American Gazette says: “There is hardly a branch of trade in which America does : not now compete with Great Britain. She has developed her native talent, which now finds abundant outlets at home aud abroad. In every single manufactured article that the States produce England could, if she liked, compete. That she does not is solely and wholly owing to her net attempt¬ ing to do so. Her sons, badly edu¬ cated, are fonder of play than of work; her technical schools are in their iu- fancy, whereas in the States and in Germany they are flourishing and of long standing, aud properly State subsidized. Until England adapts herself to the times, until trade strikes cease, or until other nations are in¬ volved iu war, so long will British goods be replaced in other markets by more of her competitors.” The news from Philadelphia of the discovery of tubing in the walls and floor of Keely’s work-shop is, on the whole, rather mortifying. The Phila- adelphia Press vouches for the story. It avers that the Keely work-shop has been ripped up; that under the floor was a steel reservoir capable of hold¬ ing compressed air at a high pres¬ sure, and that the tubing found was small but very strong, and also capa¬ ble of standing a severe strain, The sad inference is that Keely was a poor old fraud, and used compressed air to produce the remarkable mechanical effects with which he regaled his visi¬ tors. The investigators seem to have been somewhat zealous to prove that he was a deceiver, and it may be that the believers in Keely, if there are any left, will doubt their findings; but the story as it is told seems fairly con¬ clusive, and the hidden tubes, if they can be shown in position as found, will require a deal of explanation, ob¬ serves Harper’s Weekly. It may be that a new fashion id matrimony bas been created in the mountain fastnesses of Virginia. Not long ago a comely young woman ol. that region was wooed by two suitors, one of whom she preferred, An engagement and a marriage ceremony followed in due time, despite the adage about the course of true love not running smoothly. As an act oi grace an invitation was extended to the rejected swain to attend the mar¬ riage proceedings. He displayed his fortitude by accepting, and, accom¬ panied by a number of friends, he at¬ tended. On one sleeve he wore a broad band of crepe, symbolic of his dead hopes, and throughout the cere¬ mony he and his friends expressed their dolorous sentiments by a con¬ tinuous, subdued moaning. This dis¬ play of appreoiation for the bride’s at¬ tractiveness evidently aroused none but the pleasantest sentiments in the breast of the happy man whose name she was taking, for there is no record of a disturbance, and it is to be assumed that none occurred. It would be interesting to see this custom transplanted to other spheres of so¬ ciety. The suggestion affords many possibilities of variation, tending to add materially to the interest in these usually gladsome occasions. CHASED BY WOLVES. Before any railroad had been built along the upper Mississippi all traffic in the summer was by steamboat, which carried also the mall. In the winter everything was carried by stage. There was a line of mail stages between St. Paul and Prairie du Chien —or the southern terminus may have been La Crosse at the time of which I write. These stages followed the river —how much of the distance on the ice I can not say, but in my neighborhood, where the river expanded and became Lake Pepin, the route was ail on the ice. Leading down to the lake, on both the Minnesota and Wisconsin sides, are many ravines or coulees, worn by the water courses and wood¬ ed. Even now there is much wild land among the bluffs. It was in the latter part of January years ago that I found myself at Hawk’s Landing, on the Minnesota side of the river just below the foot of the lake, whither I had gone with an uncle. He found that his business would detain him longer than he ex¬ pected and he decided to send me back alone on the stage. It should have left the landing at 1 o’clock, but it was delayed somewhere down the river and did not arrive till nearly 3. It was a full afternoon’s drive to Lake City, but the driver.said he had a good team and promised to get through on time, .notwithstanding the late start. He was a rough and dissipated man, but he had the reputation of always keeping sober till after the day’s trip had been completed. But the delay may have upset him, and I think he began drinking before we started, al¬ though no one then noticed it. He certainly had provided himself with a large bottle of liquor, as I soon had occasion to know. I suppose I could not have been more than 12 or 13 years old, although a life in a new country and on a farm had given me ability to take care of myself beyond my years. When we departed from the War Eagle House on the levee and swung up the road under the shadow of Wa- basha Bluff, with the horses at a gal- lop, I felt a sort of admiration for the i|P iyu» 4 Jf - sJIgp - \ f r\l rot i-- % & x X\ W u' ‘ THREW OUT THE TRUNKS, driver, notwithstanding his roughness. We slackened somewha^ when we got beyond the line of houses along the single street and soon rounded the bluff and kept along the edge of a bank above the frozen river. We soon came to the lake and turn¬ ed down Fond du Lac Point, and out upon the ice, where the road was marked by little cedars. I found cause to be alarmed at the state of the weather. The wind had freshened a great deal and the snow was drifting rapidly. It was not sufficient to shut out from our sight the row of ever¬ greens, and we could see even the bluffs at either side of the lake; hut the fine snow was sifting along over the crust like streaming hair and rap¬ idly filling the track. This made our progress slow, but the condition of the driver was soon a greater hindrance. He drove either with the horses on a run or a slow walk, although they walked more than they ran. We were not yet half way when the sun was only a little above the Min¬ nesota bluffs, with big orange sun dogs standing up each side of it. Just as it disappeared below the bluffs’ the driver slid out of the seat into a drunken sleep in tbe bottom of the sleigh. I climbed over into the front seat and took the reins myself. ‘‘You seem to know how to drive; do you think we can get there to¬ night?” asked the other passenger. “I can drive four horses,” I answer¬ ed, very proudly. "We can get through, I guess, if it doesn’t storm so that we can’t follow the trees.” I had for some time been looking anxiously for the lights of the town, although there was no hope of seeing them yet, when my attention was at¬ tracted by a dark object on the snow far to the right toward the Wisconsin shore. The man saw it and said: “What’s coming over there—some other teams?” “They wouldn’t be going so fast,” I answered, picking up the whip from the bottom of the sleigh. The shadow was now directly to the right. "It’s some sort of animal,” went on the man. He paused for a moment and added: “They look like big dogs.” At that moment there came a cry I had so often heard at home, only much deeper, harsher and louder. “They’re wolves,” I said,and I crack¬ ed the whip at the horses, although that was hardly necessary, as they heard the savage howl as well as we did and knew it meant danger. The second time I looked back I saw that the pack was much nearer. I could make out the leaders and see that there must be twenty or thirty of the animals, all told. My fellow pas¬ senger was clinging to the seat and crying to me to drive faster, although the horses were fairly running away, and I had practically no control over them one way or the other. ‘‘Can’t you throw out the trunk and back seat?” I shouted to him. I heard the man throwing out the small sacks and the buffalo robes. The robes seemed to delay tho wolves longer than anything else. They stopped and tore them to shreds. We got a quarter mile start, All of this time the drunken driver was sleeping like a log in the bottom of the sleigh. The horses were becoming exhausted and I could feel that they were going slower. I now urged them on with whip and voice, but it seemed to make no difference. The howling behind us began to come plainer; the wolves had left the robes and were again gain¬ ing on us. Right ahead I could see a high ridge in the ice where it had cracked and shoved up. A notch had been cut in it just wide enough for a sleigh to pass through, I held the reins steady and tried to slow up a little, in the hope of steering safely through the narrow crack. As we came upon it I saw a dark streak be¬ tween the rough cones at either side; the crack had opened two or three feet during the day and new ice had form¬ ed. We struck the opening in the ridge squarely; the nigh horse reared up and jumped over the new ice, but the other stepped on it and broke through with one forward leg. He fell, but the other horse dragged him and the sleigh beyond the crack, where we stopped all in a heap. I jumped over the dashboard and fell in the snow beside the horse. He was struggling to rise, but I guessed what had happened and threw my body across his neck and felt of his leg. It was crushed and broken. I got out my knife, cut the breast strap which held the neckyoke, and called to the man to unhook the traces, which he managed to do at last. The wounded horse was again strug¬ gling to rise and had sprawled himself out of the way. I shouted- at the other hose; he started with a bound and the man and I threw ourselves into the sleigh, half knocking out our brains as our heads struck together, We looked back and saw the whole hungry pack fail upon the abandoned horse and bear him down just as the poor animal had succeeded in getting upon liis three sound legs. The horse that was still attached to the sleigh plunged on bravely for some distance, with the sleigh tongue al¬ most plowing in the snow, but he soon tired out and dragged himself along in a startled way. But it made no differ¬ ence, as the wolves never pursued us again. We got out and walked beside the sleigh to keep warm, and, as the crack was only two miles from town, it was not long before we reached our des¬ tination. A party of men went back to get a shot at the wolves, but, their hunger being satisfied on the fallen horse, they made off before the hunt¬ er? could reach them. The next morn¬ ing the passenger took the down stage back to civilization, vowing that he had had enough of the northwest. The drunken driver was promptly discharg¬ ed by the stage company.—Youth’s Companion. Always the Same. Somebody has unearthed a book written by Barthomoiew Anglicus, about 1260, of which one of the most amusing chapters is on the children of his day. They dread no perils more than beating with a rod (he writes), and they love an apple more than gold, and make more sorrow and woe for the loss of an apple than for the loss of a heritage. They desire all that they see, and pray and ask with voice and with hand. They keep no counsel, but they tell all that they hear and see. Sud¬ denly they laugh, and suddenly they weep. Always they cry and jangle; that is, unless they be still while they sleep. When they be washed, anon they make themselves unclean again. When their mother washeth and combeth them, they kick and sprawl, and put with feet and hands, and withstand with all their might. All of which makes it appear that those 1260 youngsters were the same then as now. • Wliy She Refused the Boom. A German lady, arriving for the first time in England, drove to a first-class London hotel, asked for a room, and was shown into a very small, scantily furnished one. She said, in a deter¬ mined manner, and in very broken English: “I will not have this room.” “No, ma’am,” said the porter, and brought in the first box. “Man!” re¬ peated the lady, emphatically, “I will not have this room!” “No, ma’am,” said the porter, and brought in the second box. The lady thought her faulty grammatical construction was the reason for the porter’s continued obstinacy, and repeated, with a stern distinctness: “Man, I will this room not have.” “No, ma’am,” said the porter and brought in the third box, whereupon the lady left the room in¬ dignantly, but the porter drew her hurriedly back across the threshold, pulled a rope, and, to her intense as¬ tonishment, the lift went up.—Tit- Bits. His Principle. “Are you in favor of an open-door policy?” “Well,” said Aguinaldo, “I suppose the door will have to be opened. But I want it understood right now that I propose to be there taking tickets.” A Proud Record. She—Have you ever climbed an Alp? He—No; but I went up to my office in the twenty-seventh story one day when the elevators were out of order. SUPERSTITIONS ABOUT HOLLY They Are Numerous and Some Are Ter- rlfylng. Many are the legends and supersti¬ tions connected with the holly. Old authors -write of the tree as the hui- wer and the holm, while in our old ballads it is nearly always the hollin tree. It is as the holm that Spenser includes it among the trees that grew in the forest where Una and her gentle knight sought “covert.” Coles, in his quaint “Herbal,” tells us that the smaller branches of the holly may be used in decorating houses and churches, and that those of a larger size are “very necessary for carters to make whips and for riding rods,” and, “which may seem a little strange” to the reader who knows no better, “one of his friends had a holly tree growing in his orchard of that bignesse that, being cut down, he caused it to be sawed out in boards, and made him¬ self therewith a coffin, and,” if Mr. Coles mistakes not, “left enough to make his wife one also.” “Both the parties,” he adds, “were very corpu¬ lent, and therefore the reader may im¬ agine the bignesse of the tree.” In some parts of Yorkshire, curious¬ ly enough, to this day It is believed that if more ivy than holly is used in the Christmas decorations, the wife will “wear the breeches” for the ensu- ' ing year. An old farmer was once seen pulling down the ivy with which the j kitchen was decorated. “I’ll ha’ noan j o’ this,” he whispered to his squire, j In Yorkshire, too, they have the beau¬ tiful superstition that Christmas is the one feast of the year in which the fairies may rejoice; they may hear the Holy Name without having to flee and hide, and they have been heard to join in the carols. Once a little elf-child, we are told, was forgotten by some mischance, and was heard weeping and wailing up and down the house, though none saw him till Whitsuntide. Speak¬ ing of this to an old woman in Dev¬ onshire, she assured us that the fairies had left the child “of purpose.” If any one had had wit to sprinkle (christen) him, he never would have gone back to his people, but would become a Christian child. The holly used for decorations, both in church and house, should be taken down on Candlemas eve, or misfortune will come on par- ish or people. In taking down holly in some parts of England it is thought unlucky to prick the finger if blood comes, but if a leaf stick to dress or coat it is a, good omen. In old days a branch of holly picked on Christmas eve wag as efficacious as the rowan, or mountain ash, in protecting from witches and warlocks or evil spells. A twig, brought from church, might be kept, like the Eastern palnr, for the same purpose. Your cattle, too, will thrive, and your sheep and goats bring forth twins if >ou fasten up a bit of holy in stall or manger or fold that God s creatures may rejoice with man on e anniversary o is nr . ACTIVITY IN CHINA. There is news of considerable indus¬ trial activity in China. Not only are the Germans in Shantung forging ahead in the matter of railway con¬ struction and the matter of coal, but the Chinese themselves are beginning to show marked signs of a determina¬ tion to turn the immense mineral wealth of the country to their own profit. An edict has been issued ap¬ pointing Chang-Yi director of mines in the Metropolitan province, with power to form syndicates to work them. This shows that the empress dowager has grasped the situation, and means to fight Western nations with their own weapons. These efforts, laudable as they may be, are, of course, predoom¬ ed to failure. Without European as¬ sistance nothing can be achieved even by the quick-witted Chinaman, as’Avas amply demonstrated by the complete failure of the viceroy, Chang Chih Tung, to construct railways unassist¬ ed a few years ago. It does not fol¬ low, however, that the Chinese are in¬ capable of fully acquiring Western knowledge of mechanics;, only . they must drop their pride and go to work in a different spirit. Meanwhile there is serious news about the emperor’s health; and we fear that the event, so often alluded to in these columns, is rapidly approaching its consumma¬ tion. His Gingham Aprons. Perhaps the most unusual presents ever received by a man were bestowed this Christmas upon a Brooklyn man who cooks. They were two big blue- and-white checked gingham aprons, long and large, and with ample strings to encircle the masculine waist. The man makes at times a descent to the kitchen when the maids are away and demonstrates how a good steak should be broiled or some other of the nu¬ merous things of the preparation of which for the table he considers that he has an expert knowledge, Upon such occasions it has been his custom to borrow the first maid’s apron con¬ venient. This good, housewifely ten¬ dency to use an apron being known, there came to the man from out of town the two big aprons, which were probably the best appreciated of all his Christmas gifts and were exhibited with the greatest pride.—New York Times. How He Won Her. “Ah,” sighed the rich widow; “how do I know that you do not wish to marry me simply for my money?” “Darling!” cried the man, who was young enough to be her son, “have I not written poetry for the magazines? And did you ever hear of a poet whir allowed money matters to enter into his calculations?” Why don’t poultry raisers feed theh hens on egg plant? TO TENNESSEE LEGISLATORS, Cl. W. J. Denver, . Ncn-P.,- tisan But Interesting Address. William Jennings Bryan addressed the Tennessee legislature at Nashville, Wednesday, and about twenty thous¬ and visitors, including prominent introduced men of both parties. He was by Gov. McMillin and delivered a speech entirely non partisan in char- aeter. He said a representative of the peo- pie had no more right to use his place for private gain than a banker had to embezzle the funds placed in his care. Corporations were referred to as the dangerous enemy of the farmer. “Those who grind the people,” he said, “are those who have made their fortunes dishonestly,” place Legislative balls were not the to make democratic speeches, but he could with propriety refer to the high¬ est democracy that L-aches man to re^ speefc the rights of Others.
