THE ROANOKE NEWS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1891.
WHERE HE PUT HIS ARM.
lie stood outside the gate awhile,
And said, "Good night," with love-sick
smile.
"Good night," she said. "Good night,"
once more
He muttered as he'd done before;
And then, lured by some subtle ch.irni,
He came inside and put his arm
She wore a hat of jaunty shape,
"Tied np with some soft clinging ciepe,
A truant ribbon from its peak
Strayed down and kissed her dimpled cheek.
The moon was full, the hour was late
As they stood there beside he gate.
fihe said she thonght there was no harm,
And so he fondly placed his ami,
Where well he knew 'twould do most good
And with lips glued they tool and stood,
And sipped aud sipped love' a nee tared
sweets,
Which only flow when lips thus meet :
And both with bliss would hare been
choked
Hod not his only "gullus broke."
QUAINT AND CURIOUS.
It is proposed to establish a mail ser
Tice on the street cars in St. Louis.
The alligator in the Philadelphia
Zoo has been taking a six month's nap.
The proportion of Anglo-Saxon words
in the English Bible is 97 per cent, of
the whole.
A yellow hen with a blue tail js the

Alabama court.
The receipts of the French Treasury
are larger than those of any other civilised
country.
West Virginia possesses a citizen who
has walked 109,000 miles in ten years.
He is a mail carrier.
Fifteen years ago there were no oranges
shipped from California, while last year
over three thousand carloads were ex
ported. A luminous buoy has been invented,
the light of which is produced by phos
phuret of calcium, and is visible two and
a half miles away.
It takes about three seconds for a
message to go from one end of the At
lantic cable to the other. This is about
seven hundred miles to the second.
The biggest orange tree in Louisiana
is claimed to be in Terrebonc Parish. It
is 15 feet in circumference and 50 feet
high. The yield this year is expected to
reach 10,000 oranges.
There is a Japanese cook in New York
who is an artist iu preparing fish. His
masterpiece is the serving of bluelish,
which, when brought to the table has
Lot a single scale broken. When open
ed, this fish cjntains a sea bass, and that

A mussulman having served his term
in prison is iegarded almost as a saint,

admiration of his fellow believers.
Something of a curiosity is on exhibition
at Casper, Wyoming. It is an imprint
of a monster palm leaf, caused by the
leaf falling into tlay,aftervard petrifying.
The rock was found on Salt Creek and
indicates that ages ago when the big coal
beds were being formed, Wyoming pos
sessed a tropical climate.
THE IOHAKEK-SHEKMAX FIGHT.
The Foraker-Sherman fight, however,
is the subject of most universal discuss
ion. Wherever two or three Republicans
are gathered together to talk politics it is
present, and, much as the newspapers of
the party try to ignore it, persistently
refuses to be ignored. It has figured
more or less in every nomination that has
yet been made for either Representative
or State Senator, and promises in this
county and some others to stir up a most
uciiuue factional Sfe'it. Since the party
organs of the State declared that do can
didate must pledge himself, and that tlio
question of who will be Senator must be
left out of totisidfratifjn until it is set
tled that (ho Senator will be a 'Republi
can, it has been difficult to learn the
exact .preferences of a candidate, and
this has been taken advantage of to exag
gerate the power of Foraker. New
York Times.
