Miss Bradford’s latin, . sister, Mrs. Gal¬ Bradford. was doing her duty by Miss The former was not at all pretty. The latter was very, very pretty—which is so much'more charm¬ ing than being very, very beautiful. But Ylrs. Gallatin was married and Miss Bradford was not. This came of the fact that Mrs. Gallatin liad visited at Fort Preble and had captured an unfledged lieutenant by manoeuvring and a miracle, and that Miss Bradford had spent ligr twenty-one years in a small Maine town. Boys in the village had been in love with Bessie Bradford, but she had not been in love with them, and she had, moreover, a decent appreciation of her own value aud know she was far too good for such as they. There had been a college youth, also, once; but ho and she had quarreled before the end of his summer visit. And now Bessie was one-and-twenty and the family worried. It worried itself into a state where even the raising of a mortgage on the home did not ,seem too great a thing, if it would but in¬ sure her marriage. With the money thus obtained she was sent across the continent, with instructions to get herself wedded before she came hack. She was told to marry a general if she could. If not—anything, down to a second lieutenant, But rank was to be the primary consideration, Miss Bradford agreed. She I picked out a very nice general, mentally. He would be about fivo-aud thirty, and hand¬ some aud dashing. That years went with rank was one of the things the civilian novels of army life she had read had not taught her. Besides, sho wo3 romantic—as a very pretty girl should he. So she promised that grade should govern her choice. Then she departed to visit her sister at the Presidio. Lieutenant and Mrs. Gallatin lived in the building known as the “Cor¬ ral.” If tho Corral were iu the city, it would be called a tenement. But Uncle Bam doesn’t quarter liis officers in tenements. The Gallatins were cramped for room—very cramped. They had three children and second lieutenant’s pay. So they were poor. Therefore, faking Miss Bradford in was not a pleasure It was a duty. But Bessie felt tlie unpleasantness of tlie situation the very day of her ar¬ rival. “Captain Soutter is going to take you to the hop this evening, Bess,” Airs., Gallatin said; Bessie was cutting paper bird-cages for her niece. Mrs. Gallatin was mending a pinafore. *■ . t’vo promised to go with Mr. Mil¬ ford,” answered Alias Bradford, stop¬ ping and looking up from the scissors. “Mr. who?” “Air. Milford, Colonel Milford’s son, who lives in St. Louis.” “Where have you met him?” Tho “him” warned Bessie that she was running on rocks. “On the train. We got acquainted. He’s in business in St. Louis, and lie’s coming in to visit his people because he’s had health. He is a very nice man.” “Alan! He must he about twenty- three. A perfect hoy. And liis busi¬ ness is being a briefless barrister. Now, let me tell you one thing, Bes¬ sie. You must learn from the first that the civilian son of an officer is no¬ body at all in a garrison. You will hurt your chances badly witl the of¬ ficers by going with him. How did he know there was to be a hop?” Bessie finished opening the cage, gave it to her niece with a kiss, gath¬ ered the scraps of paper in her hand and threw them into the waste-basket, clasped her fingers behind her curly brown head, and answered leisurely: “He didn’t know there was to he one to-night. He asked me to go to the first one there should be after our ar- rival.” Airs. Gallatin thought how very, very pretty Bessie was. and wondered if her husband contrasted them. “He probably will never think of it again. Captain Soutter is going to call to ask you, this afternoon, and you’d better accept.” “Can onego with two men out here —ante-nuptially?” “Don’t be vulgar. You needn’t consider the Alilford boy.” “Oh! hut I must, Genevieve, you know. I promised.” Aliss Bradford’s big gray eyes were guilelessly ear¬ nest. “I’ve no doubt that pose is taking , with the men. But yon can’t make i your devotion to promises succeed , with me, dear. I know you too well, j I you, can’t with remember the hoys at that home. they worried | , “This promise doesn’t worry me. Not a little hit.” “Well, I should suggest that you But yet the harsh word left a trace The kind word eoulil not quite efface, And though the heart its love regained, It bore a scar that long remained; Friends could forgive but not forget, Or lose the sense of keon regret. Oh, if we could but learn to know IIow swift and sure our words cun go, IIow would we weigh with utmost care Each thought before it sought the air, And only speak tho words that move Like white-winged ’messengers of love. —Great Thoughts. take my advice aud be less flippant. Recollect that you were not sent ’way out here to flirt with penniless civil¬ ians and small boys.” “If I forget, remind me, will you? I’U make you a little red silk flag, if you like. I can make flags, I made one for a fair at home, mice. You might draw it out of your bosom aud wave it when you see me about to run off the track you have all so kindly and laboriously laid for me to run on. I’ll teach you the signals. Mr. Mil¬ ford and I studied them from the back of our sleeper, I think there’s some one at the door, sister dearie. ” It was Captain Soutter, come to for¬ malize the hop arrangement. He was, obviously, For very glad that he had como. Miss Bradford was pretty—ex¬ traordinarily pretty. “I am happy in being a near neigh¬ bor of yours, Miss Bradford,” he told her. He forgot—as men will-how often lie had cursed tlie ill-luck which threw him within hearing distance of the Gallatin trio of infants. “Yes?” said Bessie; “you are in our vicinity, then?” “A little above you in the Wvorld. I live upstairs. When you want me you have only to pound ou tlio ceiling.” “The—what is it?—quartermaster? Tho quartermaster mightn’t like me to wear out his ceiling.” “You flatter me by the implication, Miss Bradford. But I’ll settle with t-lie Q. M. if you will only pound. For instance, will you pound to-night when you is are dearest ready for the hop, to which it my wish to be permitted to escort you?” He forgot what he liad wished when Mrs. Gallatin had asked him to per¬ form this act of courtesy toward the coming sister. But thou he had looked at Mrs. Gallatin and had judged from her of the sister. “I would he only too delighted, if.it were not that I have already promised to go with some one else.” The be trayed captain manifested liis astonishmeutand resentment at having ./ceil subjected to refusal. Ho had a high opinion of his dignity, had the captain. “Why, who on earth can have asked you already?” lie cried. Miss Bradford liad a cool little Northern air, when she liked. She considered the captain’s question in bad taste. So she raised her eyebrows and smiled most sweetly. “I shall hope to have a dance with you, Captain Soutter,” she said. And sho had, not one, but three. The captain forgot his wrath at the sight of her. When, she came from the dressing-room into the hallway to join young Milford, the captain was by the door. He looked at hex. “Might I hope to be accorded tho second and fifth and ninth, Miss Brad¬ ford?” ho asked. “Oil! thank you,’’said Bessie. She was grateful, and he was quite ap¬ peased. Now Miss Bradford was a success. She had what is known as a beautiful time for three whole months. No girl was remembered ever to have re¬ ceived altogether so much attention. Sho always had lovers—and the two don’t always go together. Captain Soutter loved her, so did Lieutenant Paxton, and so did young Milford. Bessie loved young Milford. A girl who prefers “cit. ” clothes to a uniform is peculiar, to say the least. Bessie didn’t say or show whom she loved, except to Milford. She liad told him. She had refused Paxton, and slie was warding the captain off. But the last she could not do much longer. The captain liad a good opinion of him¬ self. He also had a dignity which was not to tie trifled with. Airs. Gallatin was by no moans sure of Miss Bradford. So one day sho spoke to her. The process of being spoken to can rouse tlio worst in a girl. But Bessie was m a broken and contrite frame of mind. She and young Milford had quarreled, and she didn’t care what became of her. She might as well marry any old man and sacrifice herself for her family. picture Bhe made a most affecting of herself as an offering on the altar of matrimony and filial duty. Bhe would pine away picturesquely in a year or so, and Will Milford—well, perhaps he would go to the bad. She hoped so. It was under this pressure that she solemnly promised and swore to Mrs. Gallatin to marry Captain Soutter if he asked her. What Miss Bradford promised aud swore slie never broke. Bo as soon ns she and young Mil- ford made it up, sho set about won- during how Captain Soutter was to be I kept from asking lior. Yet sho could not arrive at any plan. The captain ; neither ' v<l . s an impetuous well-bred man, and nicely he dis- was j over nor \ criminating. Bessie was worried. If ! it had been that she liad promised and sworn anything to young Milford and had had to choose which vow to break, she would not, have hesitated. only' j But she had teased him, and had answered “maybe.” For wlqieh she now suffered. POPULATION AND DRAINAGE. MORGAN, GA., FRIDAY. OCTOBER 8,1897. But Fate came to her aid—as it al¬ ways should and always doesn’t in the ease of a very pretty girl. She was going to another hop, and she was going with Captain Soutter. He had invited her at the time that she was practicing for the martyr role. As she couldn’t, therefore, go with Milford, she would wear the gown he Irked, which was white silk. For it she had to have white gloves; and her white gloves were soiled. Therefore they must be cleaned. Miss Bradford was an adept at cleaning gloves. She prepared a special mixture of a mini- her of chemicals and powders, This mixture liad to be whipped—as if it had been the white of eggs—very light and frothy. It had a most unpleasant oilor, but it was pretty to look upon, Because tile odor was so unpleasant Miss Bradford opened the door into the hallway and Btood just within it beating. There was air in the hallway, but there was uone in the Gallatius* quar¬ ters, as the baby had a cold. Captain Soutter had a cold, too—a frightful one. If he had not had he would would have noticed the smell of Miss Bradford’s mixture. He came through the hall on his way to his own quar¬ ters on the floor above. Colonel Mil¬ ford was with him. The captain did¬ n’t like the colonel particularly, on ac¬ count of liis being his son’s father. ‘‘Ah! Miss Bessie! What a pretty, housewifely picture we make,” said the captain. Bessie smiled encouragingly. ‘‘What are we doing? Whipping cream? How good it looks. If Hebe would but feed us with ambrosia. ” The colonel smelled the ambrosia; but ho held his peace. “I’ll give you a taste, captain, if you want it very, very much. Open your mouth wi-i-de. >Shut jffiur eyes.” She put a heaping forkful in his mouth. Tho horrible taste made him gasp. The gasp made him swallow the froth. Colouel Milford laughed. But Captain Soutter went to his quar¬ ters without a word. Bessie went to the hoji that night with young Milford. Afterward, while she and her sister and Lieutenant Gallatin were having their supper of crackers and cheese, Miss Bradford told them that sho was going to marry the penniless civilian. “But how about Captain Soutter?” wailed Mrs. Gallatin. “Hush! He might hear you. Oh! I’m awfully afraid he’ll never speak to me agnin.” And he never did.— San Francisco Argonaut. Al cut Like Hot Oaltes, The Cleveland Plaindealer tolls an aimqsing anecdote of tho ruse a mem¬ ber of the Ohio Legislature adopted to get rid of a big pile of agricultural re¬ ports that had accumulated in his office. One of his neighbors fixed him up a placard reading: i ALL ABOUT AGRICULTURE. ; : IIow tlio Grassh ioppu r Makes Gras: «i How tlio Enttoi’llv Makes Batter. : TAKE 'ONE! The lawyer was pleased with this work of art. He loaded down the office boy with volumes, and put tho card on top. Then the boy went downstairs and laid the hooks by the curb with the card leaning against the pile. As he started upstairs for an¬ other load ho noticed that a small crowd was gathering. When lie reached tlio sidewalk with another load there wasn’t a book left of tlio original pile. The card was lying on the walk, aud perhaps twenty people were slaving at it. As he advanced a number of them grabbed the books before he could lay them down. They met him at the foot of the stairs when he appeared with the third load, and a swaying forward mass of eager people pressed for more. They wore on the stairs waiting for him when he brought tlie fourth load, and over the heads of the people he could see men running from various directions to find out the cause of the trouble. Well, the books were soon gone, and tho card went, too. The lawyer who planned tlio scheme was delighted. “Aly first annual free distribution of books was a rip-roaring success,” ho complacently remarked. Supplying Pulpits. One of the problems tho summer season always presents to those inter¬ ested in the practical working of a church and tlio one most difficult to solve with satisfaction to all con¬ cerned is that of supplying the pulpit during the absence of the regular min- inter. The question of pulpit supply, as it is known technically, sometimes is take?) care of by the church officials, but not infrequently it is left to the minister, although in the latter enso he is apt to he hampered throughout his period of rest by anxieties as tc whether the visiting minister is satis- factory to liis congregation, The compensation received for pulpit supplying services varies greatly. As a rule the rate is low when compared to tlie character of the churches served and the men who perform the service. Probably the best paying churches, as a class, are the Presby- teriau and Congregational, their rates running from $100 for a whole day’s service to $5, with few at, the former figure and a great many at the latter. Methodist churches pay from $25 to $5 for a whole day’s service, while among the Baptist churches the rate is from $50 to $5. Sometimes the minister lias his expenses in addition to this, but, as a rule, the lump mim in expected to include the whole transact ion. In some places no fixed sum is stipulated, a slidiug scale bo- ing in use and operated on a slidiug ha. ; of one per cent, of the regular salary of tlie pastor.- New York Press: Berlin, Germany, includes iu Rn population 00,000 Hebrews, HE DID NOT CABLE RESIGNATION AS WAS REPORTED. HIS SUCCESSOR NOT YET NAMED. Azcarraga Was Asked for Ills Resignation, as the Queen Thought Him Too Slow. A special dispatch received at Lon¬ don from Madrid Saturday says that Captain General Weyler has been re¬ called from Cuba. His successor, it is added, has not yot been officially announced. It was rumored the day following the fall of the old cabinet that Weyler, anticipating his recall, had resigned; this proved, however, to be untrue. The head of a government army can¬ not, according to military precedent, resign during a state of war. The recall is the result of the estab- ment of a liberal cabinet under Senor Sagastn, Weyler being a representa¬ tive of the conservatives. A special front Madrid says: “In all her consultations with Span¬ ish generals and leaders of political parties, the queen regent has laid stress Chiefly Upon the question of Spain’s relations with the United States, and the best means of averting the loss of Cuba through prolongation of the war and consequent American ntervention, thereby imperiling the •stability of her son’s throne, let alone placing it into the hands of tho republi¬ cans and Oat-lists who have been espec¬ ially troublesome of late. The queen also insisted strongly upon discussing whether her Spanish rule in the West Indies would not he . eopardized by a too extended grant of autonomy, thus enabling the separa¬ tists ually and autonomists to prepare grad¬ aud legally their evolution to¬ wards independence. “She earnestly asked the statesmen if they believed a liberal government would bo strong enough to make the majority of tlie Spaniards accept ex¬ tended home rule, involving as a sac¬ rifice the Spanish material interests in the colonial islands and a heavy bur¬ den for the Spanish treasury, if sad¬ dled with the Cuban debt. “Tho queen questioned whether Sagasta would be able to restrain pub¬ lic opinion and the press of the oppo¬ sition parties, if he made concessions to the colonies under tho pressure of diplomacy. “The queen cannot believe success would crown so complete a reversal of the policy which had been followed for the last two years and a half. “It seems that some, if not all, her loyal advisers had tlie courage to tell the queen regent that the alternative lies between a sincere trial of the new policy embracing and understanding with the United Htates and the greater per cent of a conflict with America, probably entailing tlie loss of tlie col¬ onies.” Marshal Blanco, it is stated, in all probability tain will accept the post of cap¬ general of Cuba. As to Azt’ftrraga. The Madrid correspondent of the London Standard says: “The.queen regent tonka strong ini¬ tiative during the crisis and profoundly surprised General Azcarraga by leav¬ ing him no alternative but resignation. She frankly expressed her disappr (IV- al of the conservative administration, especially in its treatment of the an¬ archist prisoners at Fortress Mont- juicb. “She said hIio had allowed Honor Ganovas to remain in office in the hope that he would modify tho rigor of bis repressive policy in Cuba, and that she had repeatedly called the attention of ministers to administrative scan¬ dals and abuses. Moreover, her majesty said she waited patiently for two months after the death of Senor Canovas, in the hope that the new government would correct these evils. “On its failure to do so, she con¬ sulted General Campos, Bettor Silvela aud others as to the best means of pacifying Cuba by an endeavor to sat¬ isfy the autonomists and thus virtually to steal a march on American diplo¬ macy. “AH the statesmen whom she con¬ sulted appear to have advised a liberal cabinet as the best means of attaining th o queen’s wishes.

Numerous cases of fever appeared at New Orleans Saturday, as was expect¬ ed. The weather was warm and the foci of infection had increased. Tho malignity of the disease, how ever, was deaths, not emphasized. There were four hut the majority of cftsoH are of the innocuous type and there Were many for discharges of patients who have tho doctors. some days been under the care of Thirty-one new cases anil two deaths wore reported Sunday. Of these cases eleven are in houses where fever has heretofore been reported. The other cases are pretty well scattered and none were reported at tho detention camp, in any of the hospitals or in the asylums. Dr. Dunn, of the state hoard of health, Saturday night reported nine¬ teen new eases at Edwards and one death. Sunday’s record was fourteen new eases and two deaths. The fovornble record was maintained at Mobile, Ala., by a report of but four new cases and no deaths.

Tile President and Postmaster General Discuss (ho Matter. A Washington dispatch says: Satur¬ day afternoon just after the cabinet session, Postmaster General Gary and Assistant Postmaster General Shalleu- berger had n long conference with the president concerning mails of the in¬ fected districts. The president is taking a keen in¬ terest in the developments in tho in¬ fected districts and inquired carefully about the plans already in operation and means for relieving the distiess in the commercial circles compatible with public safety. General Superintendent White, of the railway mail service, had a confer¬ ence with Surgeon General Wyman, of the marine hospital service, during the day. Dr. Wyman decided that if uee- e.-sary he would establish camps on the borders of tho state of Louisiana so that not only the mails from New Orleans, but also all mails front the state going into Texas, will he proper¬ ly disinfected. This will give Texas a quarantine against the whole state and so far as New Orleans mails are concerned give them a double disinfecting process. Advices indicate that the situation in Texas is greatly relieved through prompt and efficient disinfecting serv¬ ice. Postni authorities believe that no further apprehension should lie felt as to disease germs finding their way out of Louisiana through the mails.

Luetgert’s story has not yet been heard. The big sau‘agemaker may ho on the stand a week.

Miners In Foret an I.ami Have Troubles of Tliolr Own. The national congress of miners, which lias been in session at Liege, Belgium, decided to make a demand for an advance of 16 per cent in wages.

When Abasuerus got so dreadful mad with Hainan he dident do any¬ thing rash all of a sudden, but walked out iu the garden to cool off'—to let his cltoler down. That’s the way I am doing now every day, and am thankful that I've got a garden to walk in. When my good old father used to feel the rheumatic pains coming he dident sit down and grunt and look miserable, but seized his hat and his cano in a hurry and started out to peruse the farm, In an hour or so he would return all in a sweat of perspiration and the rheumatism was postponed for a time. Walk about some and commune with nature when you feel bad. Almost every day I take on a new mad, a fresh indigna¬ tion at McKinley, aud if I dident walk in the garden and peruse the roses and posies or feed the pet rab¬ bits and tho peafowls or pick a lot of tomatoes for dinner my choler Wouldent Conte dowtt aud I would lose my appetite and my serenity. Dogon hint, Confound him, dad lilast him! The good book says "Cursed be the deceiver,” and if he hasn’t deceived ns no man ever did. I never voted for him and I itm thankful for it, but I did have respect for hnii and believed ] i is sincerity and his national patriot¬ ism, but he has falsified our faith and broken our hopes, and my personal contempt for him is amazing. I dident know that my kind, gentle disposition could generate so much contempt for any man. We dident know that lie was a south hater per so and bail smothered it in his bosom all t hese years only to he uncovered when he got us in his power. Some say ho is a fool, some say a knave and some that he has beon hypnotized by Hanna; hut my conviction is that it is a deliberate party policy to open the breach between the north and the south, to set tho healing wound to bleeding again. They have despaired of capturing any southern state and now seek to raise hell between us and the negroes. Oh, my country! was tlicro ever such heartless, rock- loss tyranny of official power, such insulting humiliation? Let mo Stop a few minutes and walk in tlie garden. I see the beautiful flowers front the window, the cannas, with their tuvbaned tops, waving in the evening breeze; the zenias and dahlias and geraniums in all tlieir variegated colors. I see tho flocks of little birds picking looking the sunflower seed, I am upon fho innocence of nature, and I grieve that man is the only creat¬ ure that disappoints and deceives 11H.

Let McKinley proceed with his pro- cession. Tlie governor anil the press will attend to him. I liked those headlines of the governor, “McKinley’s Skirts Stained With Loftin’s Blood.” That is a fact, and his party’s skirts have been stained with a good deal of negro blood since the war-—not a lynching has taken place that wns not tho result of their teachings. Just look at the animus that seeks to pro- voko a war of races in the south. The New York Press, in spitting its venom at the south, says the national government should at once arm every colored office holder and prepare him for the fight and hack him up in it. Which means, of course, arms for his friends and soldiers stationed near at hand and an internecine strife and at last another war between the north lpJU9.I(| illjq UOpIAV HIM Jj ’po^llll.nld .f[ijiM.nmd oq pm put qi qiiqq kaoiijj oq pun ‘qoafqus sup no upload rno jo Jodmaq oqq hAioui] pun n;qj hahhij| Ao| ' W 1>I°IM •so'p.mq.i pun sjooqas eqq su 0U !1 -'opia aqi oq uppi oho to su Xpuau o.iu A a i (g ■yapr.) pun siutoq oqq jo opl -09(1 oqq oq fiuoplq s.wqqo [[U jo saoipo -i)Kod oi|j, i [i.i id (pus ut qqnos «qq Rid ppioqs Aoqq quqq qua’([ .to hiioUj io uiqjorjr si oq^y ilqpiHOoou qiiq J.IOI siqq Jpl si qsqyy ’qqnoa pun not only between the north and ih,i south, but between the whites and the blacks.

I had rather nurse and pet the little chaps than to hate McKinley. trouble It pays better. But the greatest I have now is in try¬ ing to keep my respeot for some of my frionds who still stand up to him. I don’t soo how any southern man ex¬ cept an office-seeker oan stay in liis party. The average office-seeker is a politician, and Shakespeare says “a politician would circumvent God.” But hero I have got back to the same contemptible subject. Plague take the niggers. I wish that Bishop Tur¬ ner would hurry np his transportation. This everlasting fuss has been going on thirty-four years since freedom came and half a century before and the end is not in sight, and now half the legis¬ lature is in session as a committee to determine what to do with the three or four thousand colored convicts and more to come. Tt will cost the state a million of dollars before the new plan is carried out, and the national government ought to pay it or ship them away. The north first brought them over here from Africa and in course of time sold them to us and then set, them free and refused to pay the money back, dogon ’em! confound well em! But we are getting along fairly notwithstanding our troubles. We were hoping for a peaceful and prosperous administration, but my faith weakened when I read that McKinley was boo- hooing over John Brown’s grave and said the very place was an inspiration. Yes, sympathizing seized with that old crazy fanatic who the arsenal of the United States at Harper’s Ferry to get arms to murder Virginians, and he is looked upon as a saint and his grave an inspiration. I wonder if lie didn’t take the shoes from off’ his feet. But I must have some fresh air before I quit. I can’t do justice to the subject, and must wait until I peruse the dic¬ tionary and find some more fitting language wherewith to vent my indig¬ nation. As it is, I am just voicing the sentiments of onr people—our whole people. Any negro who seeks ami accepts a postoffice place in the south is a fool-hardy fool, for there are some lawless, desperate men in every community north Booth and south. and If Lincoln had a Garfield a Gmteau, how can a defiant negro politician expect to escape when the entire community is against him? What would become of him in Versailles? What good will his arms do him oven though furnished by the government? Norv look at the folly of these Negro politicians. There is Dent, the superintendent of the ne¬ gro schools in Rome. He has a good place and a good salary, but wants the Homo postoffice. Well, of course, ho will bo turned out of tho school and he will he miserable in the postoffice if he gets it, and every white man, wo- man aud child in Rome will hate Mo- Kinley for it. It seems to me that I would rather have the love and respect of the people than their hatred and contempt. —Bum Aup, in Atlanta Con¬ stitution. no NEWS.
