Suspicious of thc Water.
"Some year? ago a ocr lain bishop
of ono of the Stilles south ol* thc .
Mason and Dixon's line," said a j
southern gentleman, "was visiting
some friends of minc in Alabama '
whom, for convenience sake, I will I
call the Smiths. Thc bishop, return
ing from a walk, found thc family
cat swimming around in and Irving
to get out of thc barrel from which
tho drinking water was drawn.
"After rescuing pussy, thc bishop
entered tho house and, finding Mr.
and Mrs. Smith in the sitting room,
mentioned the circumstances, where
at thc hoad of thu house became
somewhat excited and went out, so
bc said, to have thc witter butt
changed. Mrs. Smith, however,
mendy remarked :
" 'Dear little kitty, she often does
that. I only hope thc poor thing
hasn't cold.'
"The bishop, during the balenee of
his stay, regarded tho water served

suspicion."-New York Tribune.

CONFEDERATE DEAD
To bo Romovod (rom Northern Graves to
Southern Soil.
Tho Confederate Memorial Anso
cintion, whose headquarters aro in
New Orleans, La., has arranged to
reclaim tho bodies of tho Sc Uth?rn
dead now resting in Northern ceme
teries, and to Hunter them cither in
the churchyards and cemeteries of
their respective States, or in a plot
to be especially set aside for tho pur
pose in the National cemetery at Ar
lington, Va., directly opposite Wash
ington. The affiliated associations,
the numerous camps of the Confede
rate veterans and the Slate chapters
of the United Daughters of the Con
federacy have been asked lo assist in
this work.
Tiie lists of tho Confederate dead
buried in Northern cemeteries will
be published throughout the South,
thus giving friends and veterans an
opportunity to claim their dead.
The date for removal has been set
for this month. IlpilyW<5?fcd ceme
tery, in Richmond, has been placed
nt tho disp?shi of the association for
the reinterment of the bodies of all
Confederate soldiers which are un
claimed.
Lynched for the Usual Crime.
A lynching occurred at Wcliston,
Ga., last Tuesday night about 12
o'clock. The house of Kev. B. M.
1'ierson was entered by Frank IlHl'dc
mati, a negro, and an attempt was
made to assault Mrs. Pierson. She
alarmed the town and soon llardo
man was caught. After confessing,
he was swung to a tree by a small
mob and bis body riddled with bul
lets. I hu denian was a servant of
the family, in whom the utmost con
fidence was placed. Uev. Pierson
was absent from home at. the time.
One account of the affair is to tho
effect that flardoman attornptod an
assault upon a lady living near the
Piersons, but was frightened off by
her screams. Ile then proceeded lo
the Pierson place, seized Mrs. Pier
son, when ber little son, eight years
old, came to her aid, helping lier to
beat the negro off, while her two
oilier stnr.il children raised the alarm.
The negro, running from the house,
sought refuge in a hole in a cotton
Meld, but was tracked by the aroused
citizens, who lost no time in putting
bim to death.

"Washington is rapidly becoming
the center of Catholicism in Ameri
ca," says Curtis in tho Chicago
Record. "The apostolic legation is
looatcd boro. In addition to the. an
cient Jesuit university, which was
established at Georgetown during
colonial days, we have now what is
known as the Catholic University of
Washington, a more extensive and
wealthy institution, whose faculty
represents the liberal element of the
church, A year ago au enormous
monastery of tho Order of St. Fran
ois was occupied by several hundred
monks, and is now the headquarters
of the greatest foreign missionary
agency of tho Catholic church, tho
Franciscan Brotherhood. All their
missionary work for the continents
of America, Asia and Africa is di
rected from here. The monastery,
ono of tho most imposing ecclesiasti
cal ed i li eos in this nation, and which
cost over $250,000, is situated a mile
or two beyond the Catholic Univer
sity, near the soldiers' home. There
is a good deal of mystery about the
institution, which gives it, additional
interest. The monks are seldom
seen, except when they come or go
through tito little village ol' Brook
land, which is their railway station."

Coal Miners' Striko Ended.
Tho groat strike of tho coal min
ors is ondod. At a conference be
tween individual coal operators and
representatives of the big coal carry
ing companies held in Philadelphia
last Wednesday in the private oflice
of President Harris, of the Heading
railway, it was decided to accede to
the demands made by the Mine
Workers' Convention.
The Pending Coal and Iron Com
pany bas issued the following state
ment :
"We hereby withdraw thc notice
posted October 8 to bring about
practical uniformity in tho advance
of wages in several coal regions, and
gjvo notice that we will suspend the.
operation of the sliding seale, will
pay 10 per cent advance on Septem
ber wages till April 1 next and there
after until further notice, and will
take up with its mine employees any
grievance which they may have."
The Lehigh Valley Company, in
whose region tho sliding seale is in
operation, will issue a similar notice.
Vole Against Low-Land Drainage.
The Parnwoll People, published in
a low, swampy country, knows what
it is talking about when it. advises
the people lo vote against tho Con
stitution;.! amendment providing for
the drainage of low-lands. The Peo
ple says :
"The proposed Constitutional
amendment looking to tho drainage
of swam}) lands has a lair face, but
will not bear analysis. If adopted
surveyors and speculators and con
tractors will get faL jobs, and many
land-holders will have their property
con li Boated. Disastrous climatic ef
fects would follow tho drainage and
clearing up of the swamp lands.
Freshets would soot) wash away their
fertility, and droughts become longer,
more frequent and destructive than
they have boon, The State is be
coming a treeless waste too fast al
ready. We shall vote NO as to this
mischievous proposition."
This all so. It will mako our
taxes higher. Kill it with your
votes. A word to tho wise is sufli

Tho Youngest Criminal.
A petition has boen filod with tho
Governor bf Mississippi for tho par
don of Ilettio Record, a 18-yoar-old
girl, who enjoys tho distinction of
being tho youngest criminal ever
sont to the penitentiary. She was
convicted of infanticide in Marshall
county, when she was only 0 years
old, and was sent to the penitentiary
shortly afterward. She has served
four years of her ten year torin.
Hettie's victim was a baby brother,
who was given to her to take caro
of while her parents worked else
where. According to her statements,
tho child "cried and cried and kept
crying till I jes' picked up er ax and j
.peeled him side do haid." Imme
diatoly after this summary stoppage ?
of his infantile querulousness she
hid the body in a thicket, where it
was discovered the. next day. On
account of her tender ago the judge
gave her only ten years in the peni
tentiary as punishment.
Gen. Lee's Coffin.
It was not known until very re
cently that Gen. Robert E. Lee, the
great Southern commander, was
buried at Lexington in a collin that
was washed to that place by the
great Hood of 1870. Col Craighill,
who knew Gen. Leo well, and who
is one of the most prominent engin
eers in this country, gives this state
ment of this heretofore but little
known subject :
"A curious scrap of history has
recently como to my knowledge in
connection with the burial of Gen.
Robert E. Leo. Gen. Lee died Oc
tober 12, 1870. A few days before
his death the great flood of that
year in ?James River had swept
everything before it, and Lexington
was cut off from communication
with the outside world. It was
found that there was not a coffin in
the town suitable for the occasion.
In this dilemma some ono found a
box which had floated down th
river and stranded. Upon opening
it a beautiful casket was found in
the box, ano in this the body of th
great commander was buried. Should
anybody be disposed to doubt these
facts I am prepared to verify them
absolutely."-Richmond, Va., Cor.,

Bryan May Go to tho Senate.
NKW YORR> October 20.-A New
York Herald's Lincoln, Neb., spe
cial says :
There is a paramount issue in
Nebraska distinct from that in other
States, and it is thc complexion of the
next Legislature, which will bc called
upon to elect two United States
Senators. Republicans are bending
their whole energy to secure control,
and if factional fights can be settled
in Douglas and Lancaster counties,
their chances are tho better.
On the politioal complexion of tho
Legislature, it is believed here, de
pends the political future of W. J.
Bryan. Mr. Bryan, it is also as
serted, is well aware of the fact, for
if he is defeated for tho presidency
and the Nebraska Legislature is
fusion, the chances aro ten to ono
that ho will become a United Stales
Senator.

Golton Growers' Convention.
The Cotton Growers' Convention,
wiiich is to bo held in Columbia dur
ing Wednesday of Fair wook,
promises to he an interesting and
important ?conomie gathering. Just
?t this time tho matter of holding or
selling cotton is a vital question with
tho Southern people. Generally
speaking the farmers in this Stato
ire now in a position to hohl cotton
if they so desire, owing to their im
proved conditions, tho good prices
Lhat have prevailed this year and the
splendid warehouse system that is
so rapidly growing, by which banks
loan liberally on cotton properly
..-.red. The Cotton Growers'Conven
tion will take nj) all of these matters
and discuss how it will be besito aet
and what merit there is in the policy
:)f holding cotton or selling as soon as
gathered. ?
The Convention will, no doubt,
eleet delegates to tho goneral South
ern Convention, which is to meet, in
November, in Macon, Ga.
President Wilborn expects a very
general response at the Convention
and hopes that every county will be
represented by one or more substan
tial farmers, and he would also like
to see representative business men,
such business men as are familiar
with financial matters and the hand
ling of cotton, to bo present at this
Convention, so that all sides of tho
