Why, youngj hig norainus; saloon is spelled with a 'hess' and a 'bay,' a 'hell,' two 'hoes' and a 'hen." Harry was worso at sea than ever thu.; so one of ths boys was sent to the board to write it plaiuly for the class to see. The lad could, make his letters, but did not know how to join them in regular running writing stylo, and la ft them un joined thus: Saloou. The teacher looked at it a moment and then asked with some asperity: "Why don't you put it together right? Why don't you put that 'hay' nearer to that 'hell?" The boy's eyes snapped and he an swered liko a flash, "Cause I was afraid it would burn up." The class was dismissed for the day. But the geography class proved another pitfall.- One of the boys, while writing the names of European cities, spelled Venice, "V e n n n i o e." "What," cried the teacher on bis rounds; "his that the way you spell Venice?" "Yes, sir," said the lad. "Suppose Hi was to tell you that there was honly one 'hen' in Venice, what should you say?" "I should say that the price of eggs would be pretty hnjh, sir." Then 'there was an explosion. SOMETHING 1 IKE THAT.

But he carae fronrfighting stock and he went right through, from soup to coffee. One dish in particular pleased his fancy and palate. He hesita. ted a moment at first before ordering deviled crabs because ho was a class leader at home and he wasn't quite Sure whether a thing with a name so sug gestive of wickedness might cot be one of the wiles used by Satan to lure men from the narrow path. But the old man risked the temptation and he liked tho dish. Towards the end of the meal he wanted more of the same, so he hooked his finger at the waiter, to whom he said: ''Say, mister,, I want some more of them things." "Yes, san," said the grinning Afro- American. "What things, sah ?" "I forget j.'st now what they air called on thet programme of your'n.

Yesterday morning a knock was heard at the big door of -the Fulton county jail, Jailor Miller opened the door and a ragged man came in. There was a haggard look on the fellow's face.

The Philadelphia Record contains tho following interesting bit of railroad news. "The engineers of tho projected Nor folk, Wilmington and Charleston railroad, whoso offices are in this city, havo com pleted the survey for the entire length of the road, 352 miles, and are now engaged in locating tho line. Starting from Nor folk, Va., the surveyed route follows an almost air line to Charleston, S. C, pass ing through a section of country which is now almost without railroad facilities. Tho surveys show that the - construction will bo easy, the greatest difficulty en countered being tho Dismal Swamp, which the roads ruus directly through. From a point near Kiuston, N. C.it is proposed to build a branch to Columbia, S. C, a distance of nearly' 250 miles, but this has not been surveyed yet. "The main line will run thrpugh Nor: folk county, in Virginia, Hertford, Ber tie, Martin, Pitt, Craven, Jones, Onslow, Pender, Bladen, Columbus and Brunswick, in North1 Carolina, and Hor ry; Georgetown and Berkeley eounties, in South Carolina. , "The road is expected, if built, to open up a fine lumber and trucking country, and to lessen the distance between the North and Florida by one hundred miles. Among the larger towns through or near which the route has been surveyed are Wallaceton, Va., Yardley, Coleraine, Windsor, Williamstoh, Pactolus, John son's Mills, Dover, Pink Hill, Washington South Washington, Puint Caswell, Wil mington, N. 0., and Conway, Frazer, Goorgctowa, Santee and McClellanville, S. C. The projectors of the company hope to award the contract for building a portion of the line in a short time, and are now negotiating to raise the necessary funds, the cost of constructing the main lino being estimated at about $6,000, 000."

Suits were filed to day in the United States Circuit Court by attorneys repre senting the heirs of six of the Italians slain by the populace at the Parish pris on on the 1 1th of March last, against the city of New Orleans, claiming damages in tho sum of 30,000 in each case. The petition alleges that the death of the men resulted from a conspiracy aud avers that no proper steps wero taken to pro tect the prisoners, though tlie purposes of tho conspirators were well known. The hairs of three of the men live in Sicily and one in Pwome. The residences of the heirs of two of them are not stated. Oth er suits will follow. The grounds for damages in each case are as follows: First, The well-grounded terror and anxiety of mind under which the victim labored prior to the onslaugh', which is fully worth the sum of $5,00U. Second, the great mental and bodily pain which preceded or acecupanied death, which are fully worth the sum of 85,000.

N RECOLLECTIONS THAT DO NOT ALWAYS INSPIRE WITH HAPPINESS. Chicago Tribune. Much has been written concerning the pleasures of memory, but no one, it seems, has cared to present the other side of tho subject. But there- is another side to it. Remembering when you are half way to the opera that you havo left your box ticket at homo upon your dressing table, and, at the same time, recollecting that the overture was what you wished espec ially to hear, is an incident not calculated to add to the pleasures of memory. After you have sent a bouquet to your lady ovo with a note intimating that the flowers were the finest that could be pur chased, but that you cared not a cent for expenses, it adds nothing to your pleas- ure to remember that the florist's card on which was written "25 cents, collect," was thoughtlessly permitted to accompany thj bouquet. When a tired papa who has -walked 3,1G9 times around the room with a test- ess baby and finally quiets the child and is himself just about to drift away into bewitching dreamland he derives no happiness from the suddenly engendered recollection that he forgot to lock the hall door and to put the cat out. When a batchelor getting out of bed on a cold morning decides to keep on his night robe till the room gets warmer, and thoughtlessly hurries away to break fast, where people smile slyly and signifi cantly, it does not add to his joy to re member that he did not make the change in the apparel he contemplated. When we are telling some man o.f the grand and brilliant schemes we are working whereby wo are coining money so fast that we scarcely know what to do with it, it is a real source of annoyance, rather than pleas ure, to call to mind the fact that we are owing him a "fiver" which we borrowed of him a long time ago, but which we cannot pay because we have not got that much ready cash to our name. The pleasures of memory? Bah! They are all a poetic myth. The miseries of memory come nearer hitting the bull's eye of truth. We remember too much and at the most inopportune times. Let us,bury the past and go away and forget where we made the grave. JONAH AND THE WHALE. Richmond Dispatch. There is nothing in. the original texts of the Bible to show that the creature which wo are told swallowed Jonah was rfcally the same aniina1 we call a "whale" in this day aud age of the world. The word translated in both the Septuagint and the Now Testament by the Greek "Katos" means simply a sea monster, and this word was the one used by our Lord in His referebce to ths account of Jonah's exploit. Matthew, xii, 29-41. So far, therefjre, as the Hebrew or Greek words are concerned, the monster may havo been a shark, a sea serpeut or some other uncanny denizeu ot the. deep Hence then is nothing incredible in the !.tateuieut that Jonah, upon being thrown into tho sa, was quickly ovcitakuu by some water m-wer, nnd swallowed with nut Hilffei-ing luutiluliou.

At the request of some friends in and out of the Alliance, and desiring to ad vance tho best inteuslB of the musses of the people of'uiy native State, I write to give my views upon tho Third Party which some over-zealous members of tho Alliance talk about establishing in North Carolina. I am a member of the Alli- Hueo, reauy at any tune to advocate, uo fend and maintain the dignity as well as the demands of the order. I see great danger not duly to tho best interests of the State, but - also to the Alliance in the suggestion of organizing an independent party: If a Third party in formed in this State it will endeavor to draw a- very large per cent, of its vote from the Alliance. If a surlicient num ber of Alliancemen who ha- e heretofore been Democrats and voted with the Democratic party, go off into and vote with the Third party, it would bring ruin home to the people of North Caro lina. Then instead of the Alliance bet tering our condition it would pull us down, and carry us from bad to worse, to utter degradation and ruin. T lie aim and object of the Alliance is not u form po litical parties and fight politics. 1 battles in side Alliance halls. To do that would bring discord, contention an 1 division in the order, and be an injury to the Alliance cause, and in the end the alli ance would accomplish nothing. The Fanners' Allianoo has come to stay. It is the greatest organization ever organized 00 the American contiucnt. But the Alliance has not come to pull down or destroy or overthrow good gov ernment, but to amend from time to time and restore good government. It has not come to mako war and desolation in the land, but to make peace and restore the people to a mucli needed prosperity. It has not como to divide and go off into a a Third Party that will be only a sensa tion and accomplish nothing. The Al liance favored and made a Railroad Com mission in North Carolina that has saved thousands of dollars to the people in the way of taxes, freight and passenger traffic. Look at the House and Senate journal and see who yoted for that bill. It will disclose who your friends arc. Lit all Democrats remain in the Demo cratic party, and whenever the Alliance makes a demand or a request, and our political friends oppose it, let us meet together in councif and advise together for the best interest of the State and the country's good. I verily believe that our friend.-; in tho Democratic party who are not members of the Alliance will meet us more than half way. By taking this course we can accomplish much good. 1 havo siven the I Inrd party move ment much thought. Besides, I have kept myself posted by reading one North Carolina daily aul six weekly papers of all parties, Alliance and non-Alliance, and have seen no good reason advanced by any, how or in what way, a Third party can briu about the relief the Alii aucc demands, lnis being so, i apoea! to my brother Alliaucemcn in North Carolin who fire Democrats to remain in ih Deuiooraiic party, and advooato and press the Alliance demands. Go into the Di4Jt'i'imti t.vuVviiii.r.a. v't.tcn.l ir and fight for Allianco measures in a mild and conservative manner; vote the Dem ocratic tickft. and I urn sure good will bo accomplished. . And aiso I would say to the Demi -cratio papers and to all Demoi-rats as well, be mild and conservative in express ing opiuiou. A conservative ami persua sive policy is apt to load the masses and do .good, but bitter railings do no good and those who employ them will lose their lUiuwing. The people, love to follow conservative men because they are apt to he safe men and apt to be ri'ht. So, I say to all, Alliance uud nun-Alliance, let us work together in a conservative way and wo will save the Statu iu tho CoUii lg LoUUat. David Alexander; vmg? That depend? ripon the Liver.
