The Americus Times came to the front again Sunday with twelve pages. The Times well represents a thriving city. Olive Logan, the Pioneer of news paper women, has had the honor of being elected a member of the Incor porated Society of Authors, of which Lord Tennyson is president.

Savannah begins the coSton sea son in great shape. The British steamships, Ealing and Burnley cleare.l that port yesterday for Liv-„ erpool with 1t,721 bales of cotton valued at $530,480. A Paris correspondent writes that the wife of Zola never reads her hus band’s books. This confirms the re ports that Mrs. Zola is a good, re spectable lady, and encourages the hope tha", in time, she may cunver the old man. Said a gentleman yesterday who • has travelled extensively: “I have been to nearly every city of any con sequence in the south and have never seen a single.one with such poor pas senger depot accommodations as Brunswick. Why don’t your rail roads build a handsome union pas senger depot.” A woman may fret and chafe be cause the pudding is overdone, or get her nerves all into a snarl if her husband happens to bring home company to dinner unexpectedly, but when it comes to wrapping up a sore finger she stands at the top of the heap, with a mien free of vinegar and a touch lighter than day. —Ram’s Horn. Mi:. Clarkson, late first assistant! postmaster general, has a great | scheme on foot. He proposes to es- . tablish a first class daily republican j newspaper iu the south, probably in Atlanta, with a capital of $250,000. He thinks this would be the surest way to convert the manufacturing classes in the south to whatever i tariff’ policy the republican party | may decide upon, and also to hold ! 1 the negroes firmly iu line. Thus far j Air. Clarkson has not been able to I ! find the capital necessary to carry I , out his scheme. ■i If Republicans will look at Ver- j mont with me eye and at Arkansas with the other, and meantime keep ■ up a lively thinking, they may come j 1 to a just conclusion as to what ail- j their party. These states ore widely i , separated an I controlled by people j i essentially Offering in all things, ex ■ cept that both are given to look after 1 their own interests.

Taylor, of Poquetannuck, decided to discard an old pin cushion, but curiosity prompted her to disem bowel it first. She recovered just 434 needles that had been lost therein. A western Massachusetts dentist is said to have a small boy sit in his office and yell at the top of his lungs occa sionally. It lends an air of business to the establishment. Sydney Smith, hi liis youth, was very shy. He cured himself of tile disease by making two discoveries: first, that people were not employed in observing him; and next, that the world estimated a man at his true value.

Three years ago there was in Kertch iui old soldier whose dismissal from file army dated from the time of Katherine 11, and whose authenticated creden tials put liis ago at 128 years. A little 2-year-old girl of Brooklyn, while playing on the second floor, managed in some way to fall out of the window, and would no doubt have been severely injured but for tiie fact that she pulled two pillows with her that wore on tiie sill.

Perhaps the oldest Bible in the court house is that v,lnch quietly reposes in a desk in the clerk's office of the city court. In its day it was a good and faithful servant, and was never known to shirk its duty. For the purpose of familiarizing myself with the facial out lines of tiie- sacred volume I went to see it a few days ago.. One of tiie chief clerk’s subalterns groped around for a key and unlocked tiie desk. He then drew forth a small sized book. “How old is it?" asked the writer, as the clerk ran over tiie dirty, greasy pages witii liis fingers. • “That book, sir, is 25 years of age, and was employed in this court during all flint time, with the exception of two years. We finally placed it on the retired list, and here it is.” 'file edges of tiie cover were worn away witii handling and kissing, and a great many leaves were missing. "Thousandsof lips have come in con tact witii that Bible," said tiieclerk, as lie sat mournfully contemplating it. “What's more, millions of lies have been told over it. 1 wish I had a nickel lor every time it lias been held up to the lips. I would throw down my pen and lead an easy life." The autograph of tiie late Chief Justice Neilson adorns the inside of tht top cover, and also tiie name Aury Snedeker, wiio w.'is for many years n clerk in the court and had administered many an oath. Very few witnesses would relish putting their lips to that book, so positively greasy and ill smell ing is it. Brooklyn Eagle. lie Never Called Again. A stiff Englishman made a forma' call on an equally stiff English gir down in Staten Island not long ago. He called about 4:30 in the afternoon, and sat in one of those comfortable square wicker chairs. About 5 o’clock he made a motion to rise, but resumed liis seat; tiie young lady resumed hers. She had an engagement at half past 5, and saw the hands of the clock get ting near that hour. Twice the man seemed on the point of leaving; twice he started to rise, twice she rose; then lie sat down again, and she resumed her seat each time. Finally the hall hour struck- then it became quarter to 6. The engagement had not been kept. Did the man intend to stay to dinms'i He didn’t; lie explained matters. “Miss M.,” lie said at last, witii con siderable hemming ipid hawing, “the— all—buttons on the tail of my—ah— coat are caught in the—ah—back of tiie—ah—chair, and I cannot disengage them. May I—ah- ask your assist ance?” Miss M. came to liis assistance and cut the buttons off instead of taking them out of tiie chair back. The Englishman’s leave takings were brief, and he’s never repeated the call even to this day.—Chatter The Were Wolf. Were-wolves (man wolves), accord ing to a superstition very prevalent during the "dark ages," were persons who had the power of transforming themselves into wolves or other fierce beasts, retaining human intelligence, coupled with all the ferocity of beasts of prey. Persons -who believe in were wolves were of the opinion that the hair grew inward, and that the human being possessed of such qualities bad but to turn himself inside out to effect tiie wonderful metamorphosis. The superstition is traceable to the classical faille of Lykaon. Like the poor wretches who were burned and otherwise put to death for witchcraft, those suspicioned of being were wolves were crucified or broken on tiie wheel after first being flayed alive by the superstitious ex ecutors, who were i:i search of tiie sup posed hairy inside St. Louis Repub lic. __ Vtii kitians. A writer has invented the word “Unistatians," wiiich he applies to the people of the United States. He ob jects to the word “Americans.” But it is too late. The people of the United States have monopolized the name of the continent, and are known all over the world as Americans. The people of Mexico are content to be known as Mexicans, and the people of Canada ought to be content with the word Canadians. Let the Yankees continue to be Americans- Canadians is a good enough name for the people of this great mid glorious country.—Hamilton (Ont.) Spectator.
