Dining a snowstorm at Nash rille, Tenn., on January 24, 1891, millions of small fi h tell frsm the llouds.—But that has nothing to jo with the cloud of fried fish «*doi which hangs over Roma. Nobody ever cries “Rats!” when '."he Japanese diet is mentioned.— New York Recorder. No, indeed; the Celestials are mot eating rats now ; they are too busy licking China.—Chattanoo ga News. M. Naundoff, who as Louie ds Bourbou,is claimant for the throne •i 1* rance, advertises in a Paris paper for“asituation of any kind” and alleges as his fitness for a po ■otion that he speaks French,Dutch German and Italian, and had a military experience in ;P|P>lland and in Africa.

He claims ths championship belt for the 1894 hog raising record. Claims referred to Mclntosh of the Alba ny Daily Herald. On to Pekin is still the cry of th» Japs, while the negotiations for peace are not yet under way. It becomes more evident as ths strug gle progresses that Japan will not agree to a cessation of hostilities until her triumph is over-wbelm ingly assured. —Pittsboro Dispalcb The Northern press is tearing its | shirt about the Brooks county af fair.

It is welcome news that the dis tress in Nebraska is not as great as it was described in the first reports and it is also pleasant to hear that Nebraska proposes to take care of her own necessities. This is the true American spirit. So let “Gen eral” Northen of Georgia lay for free advertising from some other source. The occupation of Pekin by Japanese troops is one of tha con ditions of peace that Chiaa ought to accept cheerfully. The emperor will need s Idiere to protect him against th j hordes of rebels that will presently be in motion against hia government, and the Japanese arethoonlv warriors available. — New York Commercial Advertiser. According to the latest advice® from the seat of war, Jap m is push ing on towards Peking in spite cf the extreme cold of the winter of I Northern Asia. It is obviously tl e Japanese programme to bring) about the comp'ete subjection < f China before Chinese diplomacy succeeds in securing outside medi ation. And may the plucky little Isle accomplish her undertaking. As the result of an official in vestigation of the condition of the French navy, it has been found that, out of forty torpedo boats in the service, only twenty-five were fit for service. Most of these boats were rendered unsafe by the cor rosion of their hull plates and many defects were discovered in their general arr ingement. This stat® of affairs is very unsatisfac tory to the French government. 'Wonderful age, this! We will soon have it so arranged that you can look into a girl’s eye and see the picture of her best fellow or. her heart.—Augusta News. Not so wonderful after all, we think we are lead to believe that Adam worked that identical “trick •f Art” on Eve, away back in the Gardening days—all you want to do is—look into the right eyes. See? “Th® first reporter was a dove, ‘and so Noah knew that the waters were abated frem off the earth.’ ” —North Georgia Citizen. There is now a Byrd in Georgia who is usually the first to get the news of the section in which he hustles.—Columbus Ledger. Thanks, Brother Woodall—but our success is largely due to the fact that we have no competitors as yourself and Frank Reynolds, to compete with. The Wilson tariff has not been much of a Christmas present, has it? —New York Recorder.

Great Scott! Think of a news- THE HUSTLER OF ROME,MONDAY DECEMSER 31 1894 paper man wearing sls overcoa ■ after having been clothed in dam age suits all their lives—but then the story is from Chattanooga and may be only a fake after all. The Hustler of Rome never un dertakes to bulldose or sheister Rome’s newspaper advertisers in to doing business with the paper. The fact is the Hustler of Rome can stay here without it. ■■IV.AL .! What right has America to be investigating into the Armenian outrages, Suppose England should undertake the same tactics on the o called race war in Brooks coun ty—Who would be raising a right eous howl? iiu— HYPNOTISM AND WITCHERY The conse-vative Savannah News on account of the recent growth of hypnotic methods is led to ask in all seriousness: “Are we drifting bac k to the days of the witches es Salem; or still further back to the days of the enchanters and soreer ers of medical times? What is this new thing hypno tism, leading us to, anyhow? A few days ago Prof. Reck, a "hypnotist, putin an appearance at New Rie gel, 0., and delivered a lecture to about 100 citizens. It seems that' he hypnotised his whole and tranaferred t> e ch of h-m a part of hie powers. The following day business was suspended in the town and nearly the whole populance was on the streets practicing and experiencing hypnotism. People wilk-d tha streets imagining themselves cats, dogs, monkeys, donkeys and othe r animals, and conducting them selves as such animals are went to do. Others imagined themselves or ators and made speeches, while still others, without tasting liquor bee ams drunken men and hung themselves upon fences and lamp-posts while they sang maud lin songs. The few citizens who escaped scent of the enchanter —the mayor among them —had hard work to bring the bewitched people back to their right minds. When reason was restored, however, they wanted to lynch the hypnotist. The practice of hypnotism in that town is now prohibited by an ordiance which provides a pen alty of fine and imprisonment. PERSONAL MENTION. United States Marshal Henry W. Swift, of Boston, will assume the duties of his office on New Year’s day, succeeding Marshal Doherty. Mrs. Humphry Ward, it is said, will soon visit this country. Stie is coming with her husband, who proposes to lecture here on art and artists. The architect of the woman's building of the cotton states expo sition, to be held in Atlanta, n e xt year, is to be Miss Elsie Mercur, of Pittsburg, Pa. The Rev. Dr. John S. Macintosh, paster of the Second Presbyterian church of Philadelphia, has an nounced that he will resign bis pas torate on July 1. 1895, owing to the financial difficulties of the church. It is probable that the French women’s subserption for a Ct rnot memorial will amount to 800,000 france, and Mme. Carnot, has ex pressed the wish to have it applied to the relief of poor widows with families, the Academy of Moral Sciences to be almoner. Austin Quimby, one of Salem’s oldest seamen and a naval veteran, having served through the war on the Kearsarge, and having assisted in her fighting with the Alabama, has received from Capt A.C.
