Tbe time certainly look more bope
fnl w feel it in the air the caldron
has been boiling and bubblingthe
froth and scum have been thrown, over
- and we bepin to see the bottom of the
pot through the clear liquid that haa
been so dark and muddy. Tims ia a
good doctor in a little while the pa-
rtient will convalesce. Old' folks can t
be fooled and alarmed like young folks.
When I was in Texas last year I met
"hundreds -of good, honest people who
-were wild with excitement about
Clark and Hogg. The cry on one side
was, "Turn Texaaloose,' and it seemed
like, the great state was bound and
gagged, and her ruin was inevitable if
Hogg was elected. The newspapers
- end tbe people in the towns and cities
cried in frantic tones, " Turn Texas
loose."
But Ilogg was elected, nevertheless,
and Terns is there yet in all her glory
and all her strength.- I never took
sides, for it was none of my fight, and
I was too old to be alarmed.
Memory goes back now to grep.t ex
citement, both political and financial,
and when I hear the wild screech of
the politician as he predicts ruin! mini
ruin! if they don't do his way. I teel
like it is history just repeating itself,
and the storm will blow over as usual.
A little time is all that is wanted
time to reflect, and resVand recuperate.
7 Th3 great Dr. Abernathy was aked
the secret of his success as a physician,
lie replied:
" I amuse the patient and let nature
do the work." .
Just so the nation's finances are now
sick, and congress is the doctor. Up
to this time the doctor hasn't given
any medicine, nor done a blessed thin?
except to amuse " the patient, and 1
verily believe there are signs of re
cov'erv. s'
The truth is the doctor might safely
be discharged and the patient would
o-ct well. Jnst let cotton bejrin to
move, and the south will be all right.
England will move it if the United
States cannot, and there will be two
or three hundred millions of dollars
put in circulation down south this .fall
end winter. Ther will be probaluy
thirty millions na'.d out in VJooria,
and probably three hundred thousand
dollars in Hartow county. Good gra
cious--what a pile of money!. 1'vv! fr'-t
no cotton, but surely I will get a little
of that money.
That will pay lots of debts, and that
will turn Georgia loose uiui turn Texas
loose. That money will not be hoarded
nor hidden. Most of it is owinjr now to
merchants, and tbe merchants will
watch the farmer when he sell. That
money Is bound to circulate, for they
Fay that ten dollars paid to a debtor
does not htop, but keeps on paying
from one to another until it has paid
hundreds or thousands, and is as gootl
or better than the clearing house cer
tificates of the banks.
Hut we haven't lost conllderice in
congress. There are some statesmen
there men whose patriotism is above
party men who rise above self-interest
and re-election and have the good
of the people at heart. At the last
they are the men who control. They
are the men who will settle this ques
tion of disturbed finances, and they
will settle It rlsrht. So let the wheels
roll on. A year from now we will al
wouiler that we were so much alarmed.
The truth is the common people, the
bone and 6inow, the farmers and pro
ducers, are not panic struckand they
wouldent know there was a panic if
they dident read the papers. It is the
towns and cities and merchants and
bankers that are hurt. TKe only ap
prehension of the farmers now is that
the money kings will pull down tnc
price of cotton so as to speculate on It
and get richer and richer. They will
find money enough to buy at a low
price,
J , vhen
but have none for a fair price.
hen will the millionaires get rich
enough? Like the horse-leech, their
cry is "give, give," and they keep on
bearing what they buy and bulling
what they sell until they suck the life
blood out of the working man. The
government ha passed laws against
combines and corners, monopolies and
trusts, but thero , is a way to dodge
all of them, and no one man can af
ford to go to law about it. That's
where tho people's party comes from.
When they eee in the papers that pork j
dropped 50 per cent in one day and :
wheat V per cent on another day they (
know that the speculators had been .
bulling it after they had bought It all '
up, and when the hand they played
bursted the drop came. The producer
would be willing for his bread and
meat to be cheap to the poor. If he
did not get a fair return for his own
labor it would be a comfort to know
that the millions of poor consumers
got more of it for their scanty wages.
But these greedy speculators in the
necessaries of life, these vampires who j
buy by the million and hoard and keep
and bull after they buy are the curse
of both, the producer and the consum
er. The people understand all this,
and so when some schemy, ambitious
fellow gets on the stump and kildeea
around and talks about Jcffersonian
democracy and how neither of the old
parties can now be trusted, they fall
' . . x a ' w
into line ana loou to mm as a mioses
sent to deliver them from bondage.
But parties cannot remedy these
evils. There is a Taw now in our code '
forbidding the carrying of concealed
weapons and yet half of the young
men of the town and the country carry
them habitually. Just let a row or a
quarrel begin any where, even at a
camp meeting, and see how many
pistols are drawn. The trouble is that
.' the courts do noyexecute the laws.
The courts fling this charge back upon
the people and say why don't you
prosecute why do vou dodge party
duty why do you fil to come up and
testify? And so it seems that every
body is to blame more or less for
everytbirg. Our preacher said la.t
night that he ha 1 been a close ob
server of the troubles and afflictions of
mankind and in nine cases out of ten
they were the crop that was planted.
'What ye sow, that shall ye also reap."
Ercn the poverty that many coznplais
of is the result of their own planting.
If a young man spends net of his
time hunting and fishing and frolicking-
with & little whisky thrown in and
after awhile marries some thoughtless
girl and children are born to them the
jfamily starts oat on the downgrade
And soon comes to poverty. They reap
-what they sowed and they try to lay
all the blame on other people, espec
ially on the rich,
2Co, we can't regulate everything In
this sinful world, but we must do the
best we can, both by precept and ex
ample. A bumblebee stnng me on my
bald head this morning. I said I
reckon it was for some of my mean-
ness some crop that Ibad sowed,' but
In a- few minutes one stung my wife on
her head, and I can t account for that.'
He made a mistake I reckon. The little
varmints have got a nest under the
floor in the upstairs piazza, and. be
cause I stopped up their hold the out
siders are savage and would sting an
angel unawares. I don't know what
such thiu gs were made for, but maybe
I'll know some time. I hope so. The
body might be an accident, but the
sting- In his tail wasn't. As the law
yers Fay, "it vt as put there with malice
aforethought" and that's the way ho
uses it. HILL AUP.
PYTHON EGGS.

A Ug Snake In Conaofltleat Lays Half a
Ituahel r Kcra.
Perhaps about as curious a thing as
Dr. Knox ever had in the line of cu-
riositiea, sa3's the Danbury (Conn.
News, la his African python snake, '
Ev, as she lies coiled about a half- j
bushel of eggs laid a few days ago. It
is an event that ophiologista will be j
interested in. ,
The discovery was made one morn
ing. For some time Adam and Eve,
two big African pythons, have been
domiciled in the big snake cage in
the doctor's back oCice. The bottom
of the cage is covered by a deep la3'er
'ot' dirt and gravel. Doth these snakes
have been in Dr. Knox's possession a
year, and have sometimes been on ex
hibition. One evening Dr. Knox passed tho
cage several times, going to and from
rm front oiViee. l'very time ho panned
tha cajre the python snake hissed at
him. lie paid no attention to the
Kiiulre, and was more amused than
otherwise at the incident. Later in
the evening he locked up his ofirce and
drove over to Brewster, where his fam
ily ia now stopping. When the doctor
opened his oiiiee the next day the
lir.t tiring he remembers doing was to
examine his make collection. He
looited in the cage and saw what ho
supposed were several new potatoos
lying under the python snake. Eve.
lie opened the cara to remove them,
lioing oloe to tho snake, it hissed at
him. -This made him pause. Then he
took a second look and was surprised
to see about one hundred snake ctfga
under her.
Two of the eggs are on the writer's
desk as samples. They vary in sise
and are rather heavy. They aro soft to
the touch, oval in form, and ashy gray
color. Tho smaller of the eggs is tho
size and shape of a duck's. Tho larger
one is no thicker, but about six inches
long. They were slightly speckled.
It ii "said that the shell will become
hard. I
Perhaps a snake laying eggs In cap
tivity is not unusual, but the only ease,
called to the writer's attention was
when a python did a similar thing at
the Paris zoological garden in 1844.
This serpent laid three dozen egjs.
She brooded on her eggs and hatched
young ones. She deposited her egafs
on the 5th of May, and the first young
one made-its uppoarancc on the 2d of
July.
Whether Dr. Knox's collection of
pythons will be augmented or not by
the eggs is a matter to be seen.

Nowadays, in England, if old build
ings are touched at all, it is too often
with sr view to their restoration a
word which in this case is a synonym
for destruction. Therefore, when de
liberate effort is made, not to gire a
new version of old work, but to free
that old Work froinevery modern en
croachment, the event is one of no
small interest to all who are concerned
with the history of the past, of no
small importance to all who have made
study of architecture. And this is .
exactly what is happening just now at .

Tho college, it will be remembered.
was not an independant foundation.
but sprung from the old nunnery of St.
Radegunde. The chief portion of tho
earlier buildings still remaining is the
chapcL Its attraction to the modern
tourist, no doubt, is found in the
Durno-Jonea windows, which, it may
be noted in passing, are quite the
finest examples of stained gloss that
artist has yet given us. But, to the
architect and archroolcpist, it Is tho
church itself, with its nave and tri
angle anfl its beautiful early English
piers and arches and arcades. Of
course. King's stands alone as the
great architectural marvel of Cam
bridge; but Jesus chapel, in Its own
way, is only loss fine if at first glance
it must seem less imposing, while in
historical associations and significance
it is supreme.
Ucecntly an aged fellow of the col
loge, remembering that when masons
were putting a now coat of plaster on
the inner cloister forty years ago ho
had fancied he distinguished tho
fcpring of an arch purtially concealed
in tho old stone work, determined to
have the plaster pulled off. What he
has found proves to bo one of the most
important architectural discoveries
made in England for man- years. The
arch, which had been jv.st indicated in
the stonework, has turned out to be
just one of three, and these have been
almost entirely net free from the wall
during long ccnturie.-J gradually built
xip about them. They belong to the
purest period of the thirteenth century,
good authorities aflirming that they
tUvto buck- to I'-- 0, or thereabouts. The
reasons for this bclbif are the capitals,
which still show some suggestion of
Norman influence, and the beautiful
detached shafts, which later architects
never introduced, having, learned that
y greater strength, if less charm, was
secured by connecting them to the
central shaft with bands.
The moldings and the carved foliage
of the capitals are in the most wonder
ful state of preservation, and the stone
is of almost dazzling whiteness a
whiteness to be attributed, perhaps,
partly to whitewash and destined not
long to survive exposure to the foggy
English atmosphere and the smoke of
Cambridge. Thanks to their chance
burial, the arches have escaped tbe re
htorcr; indeed, they have been brought
to light at the best moment, now that
a few men, at least, begin to under
stand the folly of tampering with the
none too many relics and monuments
of the past still left. Not so far re
moved is the time when the old piscina
was discovered in the chapel; then the
one idea was to restore it; now college
dignitaries arc of another way of
thinking. The arches form the door
way and near windows of the nuns'
chapter house. Its floor evidently was
much below the level of the present
cloister, but the necessary excavations
have been made to the very base of the
central door, so as to show the propor
tions of shafts and arohes in their
original grace and purity.
Nor will the floor be filled in again.

picking np a piece of paper from tho

carefully and pocketed the packago.
A bystander asked him what sort of a
cane he had. "Oh." he said, "it s noth
ing but a steel rod covered with
leather." "It must be magnetized, for
it attracts nails and saves you from
stooping." "Not thr.t I know of. un

Ilhed Wlkhm the lask week about ht
dangerous condition he was in. He
probably nerer dreamed, when he wy.
having those two truublg?rae teeth ex
tracted and their ulcerated roots cut
out, two months ago, that it would h
and.by grow into an operation in which
the greater portion of his jawbone
woulJ, in the mind of -the sensational
writer, have to be cut away in order
to remove th; terribly cancerous
growth. In short, it was but another
version of the familiar old atory of the
man who vomited three black crows.
President Cleveland is not sick, and he
has not been sick since he left Wash
ing. In fact, there were few duv
while he was away that he did not per
form some of his public dutiesis tin

The passage of the bill for the un
conditional repeal of the purchasing.
of the Sherman silver law by the
House has focused public attetitioi
upon the Senate, where financial
speeches are now the order of I he l;iv
How long the Senate will talk be fori
voting i u question that will he an

and the longest goes away up in the
months. An agreement of some sort
will have to be reached before a vote
can bo taken, and th silver Senators
led ire they will make no agreement,
unless the Yoorlues bill, which has
been reported as a substitute for the
Wilson bill that was passt d by the
House, is amended in a manner satis
factory to them. The democratic lead
ers, however, ure coutidtnt that an
agreement will shortly be reached.
Procrastination may be the thief of
time, as the oM school adage says, but
it isn't getting a chance to steal much
of it from the Hou e Ways and Means
committee, which has buckled r ght
down to the tariff question with the
determination to report a reform tariff
bill at the ex'n session, or very early
in the regular session. While the
committee is not disposed to encourage
long-dream-out hearings of every 1 m,
Dick and Harry who may think them
selves tariff experts, it will grant prop
er hearings to all parties who by rea
