A. man’s best servants are his ten fingers. * A man never poses as a hypocrite when he is alone. Every man is the architect of his own misfortune. Bemember the kind acts of others, but forget your own. Wise is &e man who speaks neither too soon nor too late. One thorn of experience is worth a dozen buds of advice. S^-made man would be all right if they didn’t talk shop. Do what you can when you are un able to do what you would. Fame is abubblethat can’tbe secured by hitting the pipe. Misery loves company—^and she usu ally has a houseful of it. Many an individual talks like a wise man and acts like a fool. In time of peace lots of men prepare application for pensions. A fool’s modesty is never allowed to overshadow his inability. Filling a straight flush is equivalent to extending a helping hand. Gymnasts wear spring and fall cloth ing regardless of the season. Fortunate is the man who really deserves his own opinion of himself. If a man doesn’t know when to be silent he doesn’t know when to speak. Few people are envied because of their wi^om; many because, of their wealth. It was an Irish philosopher who said: **I^eness clothes a man with naked ness.” A successful man forms a plan and sticks to it, working like a gimlet to a point. Nearly every woman on earth has lost a pocket book at some stage of her weer. Many a man who attempts to wear the mantle of greatness is disappointed in the fit. A man’s good deeds are limited, but there is no end to the mischief he can accomplish. Methuseleh was fortunate enough to have lived before patent medicines were invented. What some men say should not be charged up against them, but credited to some one else. The candidate who gets the vote of the fair sex ought to receive quite a handsome majority.

After persistent efforts General Miles ^ succeeded in having officially pub lished the correqmndence between him self and the War Department relative to the conduct of military affairs in the Philipines. Some time ago,. we gather from the official letters. General Miloa requested to be sent to the Philipines to take charge of military operations. In this letter he spoke of the ill success of present efforts and suggested that he could effect peace by personal confer ence with native chi^, etc, and also by bringing some of the prominent Philip pinos to our country. In another letter he had advised that our army in the Philippines be reduced by 10,000, and that this number be sent to China. He also desired to be sent to China and to be made Gommander-in-Chief of the Allied Armies of the Powers. All these requests have been denied, mainly on the ground that they are unwise. la the letters of Secretary Boot General Miles is told that quite satisfactory pror gress has been made toward pacification of Philippinos, and that his reflections upon the conduct of the army there are altogether unworthy and undeserved. The President approves the Secretary’s position. li«t mnllen Alone. Salisbury Sun. We hope it is not true, as reported, that Senator Simmons will oppose the confirmation of Mr. J. W. Mullen as postmaster at Charlotte when his name goes before the Senate. Mr. Mullen has abeady paid a pretty steep penalty for the enjoyment oflin unconventional in the shape of unpleasant noto riety. He has been assailed in the most brutal manner by extremists who seem to hold the idea that the only way to help a man when he falls is to kick him. Mullen is not a drunkard. He has erred, but never to the extent of neglecting his duty to the pubUc in his capacity as postmaster at Charlotte.

We have read his book, but it is hoped now that we wton’t be compelled to see his play. At a hot literary dinner Wednesday evening uur poet laureate was choked by a 1^ of ’possum just as he was about to read an ode which he had chopped into proper lengths for the occasion. He has since been too full for utterance. Having suffered financial embarrass ments recently, our head poet offers to read his poems in public for a dollar a day. This is dirt cheap. They are worth a dollar and a quarter, at least. “Is ’Possum Poetical?” was the sub ject of the literary debate Wednesday night. It was decided that ’possum is not poetical but mighty fillin’. Our leading novelist had his l|g cut off by a railroad, and unfortunately, re ceive enough money from the road to enisle him to publish another book. Mr. Cam^e has been asked to please give Billville a free libraiy. We already have a six-pound dictionary uid a town lot. Mayor Jones is hard at work on a History of Billville, from the first lynch ing up to the time when the rope gave out.

New York Times. A lawyer of some distinction, who began practice in a small New England town, says his first client requi^ a deed covering certain parcels of land sold to a neighbor. The deed was drawn in due form, and after its execu tion the client demanded his bill. It was $2. The amount was objected to as a most exorbitant sum for the service rendered. I told him,” says the lawyer, “that to enable me to draw the d^ £ stud ied two years in Lancaster academy, and this cost me $200; then I spent four years in Dartmouth college which cost me 1250 a year more, and then I went to tbe Harvard law school for an other year at a cost of $500. “So you see, Mr. Hine^, that to get the necessary ^ucation to do this work I had to pay out $1,700, and yet you think my charge of $2 is a large one. The jnan looked at me for a moment in amazement and then exclaimed: ‘Gosh! What a darned fool you must have been before they begun on you.” From the same source comes the story of a lawyer who was said in his day to have drawn more wills than any one els^ in his county. Upon the death of a respected citizen there was much speculation as to the value of his prop erty. The village gossip undertook to find out the facts. CaUing upon Mr. Hayward, the lawyer refer^ to, he re marked: “Well, I suppose you made Mr. Blank’s will?” “Yes,” was the answer. “Well, then,” continued the gossip, “yon probably know about how much he left. Would you mind telling me?’ ’ “Oh, no,” said Mr. Hayward, in his slow way. “He left eveiy cent he Snlelde at Alacum PnUs.

In the news columns of The Phila delphia Times of the 28th was an arti cle telling of the withdrawal from busi ness in that city of 77 insurance compa nies because of heavy fire losses.

J., April 3.— Twelve hotels and more than a score of small buildings adjoining the board walk which is bnilt along the ocean edge, were destroyed to-day by a fire wUch swept the beach front for two long blocks from Illinois avenue to New York avenue. The loss, it is said, will exceed $750,000. * In this respect the conflagration is the most disastrous that has ever visited this city. The loss will be only partly covered by in surance, as the rate of 5 per cent, charged by insurance companies on property here is regarded as almost pnihibitive. Fortunately no lives were sacrificed, though prolmbly a dozen* persons were slightly injured and burn ed during the fire. A Psalm of Life. Oranee Va., Observer. Tell us not in mournful numbers that town is full of gloom, for the man’s a crack who slumbers in these bursting days of boom. Life is real, life is earn est, and the grave is not its goal, for every dollar that thou tumest helps to make the old town roll. But enjoyment and not sorrow is our destined end of way; if you have no money earn it— work still harder every day. Lives of peat men all remind us, we can win immortal fame; let us leave the chumps behind us and we’ll get there all the same. In the world’s broad field of battle, in the bivouac of life, let us make the dry bones rattle—^buy a town lot for our wife. Let us then be up and doing with a heart for any fate; still achieving, still pursuing, booming early and booming late. ElShty-Poar Jnililons Under the Bacle^s Wtnss.

The amount of oxygen in a room is decreased alarmingly by our methods of illumination. A man may exist for an hour in a fair-sized room hermeti cally sealed if he has no light burning.

In Acta x. 38, we. read that JMua of Naaareth, anointed with tbe Holy Ohoat anil with power, went about doing good and healing all the oppressed of the devil, for God with Him.

Finding one wlio had kept hia bed eight years, being aick with palsy, he thus addressed him, and immediatdiy he was whole, for Jesua Christ at the right band of the Father is the very same compa^(Miate, aU poW^ful Sav iour as when on earth He went about healing tbe sick (Heb. viii, 8), and His redeemed ones are here to make that great fact manifest And aU that dwelt at Lydda and Baron saw him and turned to tbe Liord. The Lord saw that in the healing of ^neas He would be glorified and that many would thus be led to turn to L.Im for their own good and fmr His glory. While I believe it is a high and holy and gracious privilege to trust the Lord for tbe body as well as the soul, I cannot sympathize with those who con sign all drugs and doctors to the devil, nor can I believe that health in this mortr body is more important than glorifying God. 36, 37. Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha. She. like her Lord, lived for others and for the good which He might be pleased to accomplish through h». and in her active, self denying life God was manifesL Some only talk of what they would do if they could, but this woman did what she could, the Lord working through her. In tbe midst of her busy life sickness came, and the enemy, death, was permitted to touch her. and she one day found herself in perfect health and in the vigor of a life she bad never known before, ab sent from the body, present with the Lord, experiencing the gain of those who enter upon the “very far bettv.' See II Cor. v. 8; FblL 1, 21, 23, R. V. I, 39. Lydda being neaj to jSoppa and the disciples at Joppa, baving heard of the Lord working thsoiigb Peter at Lydda, they send for him, urging him to come quickly to them, which he did, and he soon found him self in the midst of a lot of weeping widows. We do not read that they talked of her present happiness and rest from her laliors and their Joy be- cause of her promotion to tlie immedi ate presence of her Lord, yet I have been many a time in homes of mourn ing where these were tbe topics, and there was no desire to have the loved one back again even though the hearts ached and the tears would come be cause of the loneliness. 4a But Peter put them all forth and kneeled down and prayed. So did our Lord in the case of the ruler's daughter (Mark t. 40). I ex pect that Peter, as he communed with God. would inquire as to the will of God in .this matter and whether it might be for the glory of God to have Dorcas return to the mortal body for >ason. He must have received some assurance from God as to His will, for, turning to tbe body and callfng her name, she opened her eyes, and, seeing Peter, she sat up. 41. And he gave her his hand and lifted her up and when he had called the salnta and widows presented her alive. > Dorcas came back from the rest and the glory to sojourn again in a mortal body for tbe good of others, and the selfish receivers of her labors were doubtless glad to have her go at it again ^or tbeir sakes, but whatever she did it was for Jesus’ sake (II Cor. iv, 11). not fOr their sakes. Should we find ourselves suddenly in His presence and in the enjoyment of all that can be enjoyed apart from the body and be asked by Him to return to earth again for a season, for His sake, that He might be further glorified in us hne, 1 doubt not but His grace would be suffi cient to enable us to say, “Yes, Lord, anything, anywhere, for Thee (II Cor. ix. 8). 42. And It was known throughout aU Joppa, and many believed In the Liord. Thus in these two cases of God work ing through Peter one result was that many in each place believed in th« Lord. In the case of many sick ones who desire health and claim, as they say, the result of the prayer of faith, there is often no desire that othon should be led to believe in. the Lord oi that they themselves should live hence forth wholly for Him, but merely a de sire for their own personal comfort and to be rid of their alBiction. We must not sit in Judgment upon God, noi may we even Judge people (Rom. xlv, IS; I Cor. iv, 5). but we may" be perfect ly snre that the Judge of all the earth always does right (xvlil.25.of Goiesls). 43.

Soor^ of houses were unroofed, many trees were blown down, mill stacks to] p!ed over aorii teh^[raph and telephone wirds gen erally diMUed. 'The most serious acci dent reported ap to 9 o’clock to-night, was the unroofing of the Knox^e Pmbyterian Choich, in Knoxi^e. The church was filled with an Easter congr^tion numbering about 600 per sons. While the minister was in the midst of his sermoif, a strong gust of wind Uew over tbe large chimney, and lifted a portion of the roof off the build ing. The bricks from the chimney crashed through the roof and carried a huge piece of ceiling measuring about 40 by 20 feet, down upon the worship ers in the pews. An indescribable panic ensued and a frantic, rush was made for the door and windows. The excitement was soon quieted -and the woiic of rescue begun. At least 40 per sons were caught by the wreckage and more or less injured. Of this number five may not recover. As Rev. J. W.

March 30.—The loss of life by the flood in middle Ten nessee and north Alabama may run up to forty. Up to 8 o’clock to-night thirty- five deaths were reported from the dif ferent water-swept regions. The counties visited by the flood are those lying between the mountains in the east and the Tennessee on the west, almost all of middle Tennessee. The counties suffering most seem to have been those south of Murfreesboi^,in the centre of the State. Many fine farms of Lincoln and Smith counties are.ruined from the washing. ^GulUes forty and fifty feet d^ were cut through the land, while big boulders weighing many tons were loosened and rushed forwari in the tor rents. Thousands of logs in addition were tom from the booms and sent adrift. The middle Tennessee streams are full of logs, while dwellings of every kind are floating like steamboats. Hundreds of dead cattie are floating down stream. Many middle Tennessee farms were virtually washed away and the losses to farmers will be heavy. At an early hour this morning the Nashville and Knoxville steel bridge at Lancaster, a 300-foot span, which cost $100,000, went down. Floating houses and debris went down, floating hous es and debris battered it from its abut ments. In the upper part af the coun try surrounding (>^hage, the home of (3ov.

A eorrevondent sends the following story of an old Virginia gentleman: Some years before the war a genOe- man of large landed interests counted unrmng his possessions a plantation on the Jmmea river, an estate of conalder- able dimendons. Other interests kept him away from the old place for some years, during which time there waa a marked decrease in the rerenne. Upon his return to the plantation be discov ered that many of the slsTes were laid up with rheumatisqi and other miser* les, the fanning Implementa were In bad order and the old homestead waa fast going to rack and ruin. Calling his overseer he said: "Anderson. I notice a great many old wagons, plows and liarrows alioat the place. Have them brought and piled in front of the house, and on Monday next order all the niggera on the place to be prefent.” At the appointed time they came The pile was set on fire and the Imple ments destroyed. The following week he called the ovmeer’s attention to the sick snd Infirm horses, hogs and cattle and gave the same order. When the negroes had assembled all the animals were knocked in the head. The Fri day following the landlord again called his overseer. “Anderson, 1 see a great many sick niggers around here—many who seem to be laid up with rheumatism and are good for nothing. Give orders that on Monday morning at 10 o’clock they all appear in tlie front yard.” The effect on the slaves was maglcaL 0n Saturday men who had been un* to walk were skipping around like j^’tadren; the sick grew well suddenly. liM from that time on the plantation most prosperous.—Exchange. FOOD OF AMERICANS. H Enarllali Wonuia Telia of tho Straase ThlBsa She Ate Here. An English woman who visited Amer ica a short time ago has been telling her country women about the “strange food across tbe water.” Of course she discovered green com, but she had been prepared for that Oyster crabs were quite new to her. “They look like Boston baked beans,” she explains, “but they taste much bet ter.” An oyster cocktail filled her with awe and enthusiasm. She tried it at Del- monico’s and thought it was soup. Of course in England one didn’t serve sonp in a glass; but, then, neither did the Ehiglish serve boiled eggs in a glass. One could never be sure of Americans. Of cauvasback dock she has a poor opinion, bnt thinks she might like it better if Americans TCOuld have It cook ed or even wanned. Aa for terrapin, she sings its Qraise. She found It much like calTs head, and she always liked calTs head. Shades of Itfaryland gour mets, what a slur is there! “All the puddings in America are pie or Ice cream..’’ she says, bat It must be understood that pie does not mean game pie. The Yankee pie is a tart and is ubiquitous, she explains. She eat next to an American man who ate a lump of checse with his strawberry pie and turned a plateful of Ice cre&ui over both, but she doesn’t know tha^ that is a general custom. The oysters were good, but had most impossible names, and the cockles (meaning clams) are excellent On the whole, Yankee food and cooking are good, but there Is too much of the food ou the table at one time.—New York \mmrnfm ■ajr Hnllen.

Dallv No.M SAL Portrait of Cocker. Edward Cocker, who lived la the reign of Charles II.. Is chie^ known to the present generation by the tBf- Ing in common use. “Accordl^* to Cocker.” which means' In accordanee witb arithmetical rules. I saw the otb^ er day amid the treasures of a private collector a copy of the first edition of Cocker’s Immortal work on arithmetic, published by T. Passenger at the Three Bibles on London bridge. Only two, or at most three, perfect copies are known to the book collector. One is in the British museum. This par ticular copy, its brown morocco piti fully faded, bears on Its title page the inscription, “Cocker’s Arlthmetlck. Perused and Published by John Haw kins by the Author’s Correct Copy.” It contains what purporta to be a portrait of “ingenious Cocker.” Ex perts, however, shake their heads over the authenticity of this work of art There are many engraved portraits of the epoch, but there was onl^ one Cocker. The British museum copy >»»■ no portrait, and there Is too much rea son to fear that this •mbellisbment was added by some Ingenious owner of an earlier century. Cocker died In 1675. This rare relic pf the past bears date 1678.—Scotsman; «leorare*B Father. Augustine Washington, the father of George Washington, was engaged la 1732 In making pig iron at Acrakeek furnace, in Stafford county, Va about fifteen miles from Fredericksburg, when his famous son was bom. This furnace bad been bnilt by the Prlnd- plo company, composed of English cap- italista, as early as 1726, on land owned by Augustine Washington, aggregating about 1,600 acres and containing Iron ore. Mr. Washington becoming the owner of one-sixth of the furnace prop erty In consideration of the transfer of his land to^the company. In my opinion the man who kills his fellow is the hero of barbarism; the man who risks bis own life to save the lives of others Is the only hero that a true civilization can honor.—Andrew Carnegie. For all misfortunes then axe two reroediea—time and silence. At Bome, Georgia, Walter Allen, a n^ro, charged with a^ult on Blossom I u!? u’ * 8"* lynched bv a mob of 4,000 people on Apnl Irt and was riddled with, pro- 1,000 shots aftCT being hanged. He did not succeed in his purpose and claimed that he was innocent. E. A.
