Engineer Lo've spent a few days here this week as a wjtnes irt the case of Crockeiham vs. Railway Cc. Miss Mamie Stedinan "delighted a host of friends here by a short visit this week, hhe returned home yes terday. E 15. Atkinson, junior member of the firm of Nat. Atkinson & Sons, of Asheville, was here on business this week. Read Hick's almanac if you wish to keep up with the weather. He is que man who seems to know what he"ls talking about. Lawyer T. D. Bryson is home from the University with the Chief Jus tice's Signature backing him. You will see his card when he opens his office. The Eastern Dand of Cherokee Indians have employed Mr. George Smatheis, Wayilesville, as their counsel for the next two years. A good selection. There was an examination under civil service rules in the postolrice to-day of applicants for teacheiships in the Indian schools on the Chero kee reservation. Citizen. ilarrell Brothers, the last of the Deep creek logging crews, have brought their entile to town and stabled the in. This is t'.ie last rem nant of what a few weeks ago was a woods full of busy men. The scarcity of local happenings this ueek is chargeable to the frig idity of the weather alone. It has been to cold for anybody to even turn oyer in bed, much less get out and do anything to excite notice. U. S. Marshall Allison, accom panied by Attorney Geo. Smathers, ejected the squatters and put Mr, Sina' hers in possession of the Qual la Boundary for the Eastere Chero kees last week. The case of A. I. Cocker'iam vs. Southern Railway for killing a cow was herd here Monday before Jus tice T. M. Buchanan. The plaintiff was represented by Attorney Leuth- erwood and the iefendant by Capt. A. M Fry. Judgment was given in favor of defendants. Correspondents will obsuve that regular communications to a news paper are entitled to circular rate of postage. . , one cent. Post masters who are paid according to their .cancellation mav tell vou that everything written is first clas mat ter, but if he examines his postal guide, the correspondent's mail will be found an exception. Another Surprise. Liist week Captain Fry and Mi Rowe astonished the community by marrying without anybody's knowl edge, and this week the same kind of ceremony is repeated. Sunday morning at the Baptist church, immediately after the ser mon, Mr. Chas. E. Steman, of Sylva. and Miss Lizzie Hiscock, of Jonathan ood, in an unusuallv clever manner, the presence of a big congregation," and every one of them dumbfounded, pronour.ced the twain one. The marri;ixe was the most select occasion of the seaso'n. ony the participants and one correspondent having been invited. The happy couple spent the day and night at Hotel Entella and left next morning for their home in S.vlra. The very lest wirhes of us all go with then). CUftiCUS NEWSPAPERS. Big nd Little Sheets from All Over the Civilized World. Curious newspapers by themselves form a readable chapter in the his tory of journalism. The Loudon Press News mentions the following Bam pies: The largest paper ever published j was (or is, for the. promoters have ! the preposterous intention of bring- j ing it out once every century) the Illustrated Quadruple Coustellation. The first number came out in 1838, consequently No. 2 is due in 1'JaS. It measures eight by six feet, price two shillings. The first number did not contain a single advertisement. The smallest newspaper in the world is . El Telegrama, published in Mexico, exactly four inches square. In Japan the Shi Gia Shue Dan Kwai Zasshi is printed with its sheets or leaves of different colors. The title is printed on white paper; the inside leaves are printed oa various brightly colored green, orange and yellow. It is not printed on both sides, but each sheet is folded at the fore edge, not at the back, as in this country, and the printing is done on the first and fourth pages. It is about the size of a crown octavo pamphlet. The Austrian Fortnightly Review is a unique little publication, in that it has contributors in almost every land, and each article is printed in the native language of the writer. flora Focunda is a useful monthly periodical for the blind, printed in Edinburgh, from the "Braille" type, and all engaged in its production are blind. The credit of having the smallest circulation in the world belongs to the Imperial Gazette, of Berlin, of which two copies are printed daily. This exclusive publication is intend ed for the perusal of the emperor alone. In Turin is a paper printed with an ink that becomes luminous in the dark so that the matter mav be read without the assistance of artificial light. At Prince Albert, a township in Northwest Canada, a weekly news paper appears in the handwriting of its proprietor, who is also its own editor, reporter, printer and adver tising agent. The paper appears lu violet ink from a gelatine hectograph, and is said to be widely read, and is often quoted by the printed papers. SCHOOLS OF THE fUtUHE. Some of the Questions Piipils Will Be Expected to Answer. According to an exchange new pupils in the schools of the' future will have to submit to this examina tion : Teacher Johnnie, have you got a certificate of vaccination for small pox? "Yes, sir." "Have you been inoculated for croup?" . "Yes, sir." "Been treated with diphtheria serum?" "Yes, sir." "Had vour arm scratched with cholera bacilli?'1 "Yes, sir." "Have you a written guarantee that you are proof against whooping courh, measles, mumps, scarlet fever and old age?" "Yes, sir." "Have you your own private drinking cup?" "Yes, sir." "Do you promise not to exchange sponges with the boy next to you, and never use any but vour own pen cil?" "Yes, sir." "Will you agree to. have your books fumigated with sulphur, and sprinkle your clothes with chloride of lime once a week?" "Yes, sir." "Johnnie, you have met the first requirements of the modern sani tarians aad may now climb over yonder rail, occupy an isolated alu minum scat and begin making. 'PV and 'Q's' as your first lesson." A Stray Torpedo Goat. A curious craft, looking more like a coffin than anything else, came up on the beach near Barley Point, ly J., the other .day -and aroused much curiosity. It turned out to be a submarine torpedo boat, which part ed its moorings off Blackfishholc be fore its designers were ready to ex periment With it, and wandered up the Shrewsbury river to its present resting plate. It looks like the plain coffin of commerce, except that it is a great deal deeper, and in place of the broad-1ieadcd .-ilver nails it has the regulation dead eyes. It is fif teen feet long and about five feet high. There an? two wheels fitted uj) on an axle, well forward and one aft. The rear wheel acts on a rud der. The two .wheels forward re volve in answer to a crank, which is worked from the interior, the cogs being intended to catch the bottom of the ocean and worry the craft along. The interior is fitted up with an air producing engine, and the inventor said that the en gine would -jpp!y two men wl'.h uir enough for fo-'-'r hours. MARR1ZD IN FUN. Curious Complications Schoolma'am j Merriment Brought About j A teachers' institute was held at j SDrintrville, N. Y.. last May. On j of the prettiest scbooima'ams in at- i tendance was Miss Eilen. E. Gilford, of the town of Boston. She was nineteen, and engaged to be mar ried. Elbert R. Spauldinsj, aged twenty-one, is a good-looking clerk j ia the leading drj-goods store of Springville. He was engaged to be j married to one of the prominent young women of SpriDgvillc society., and an heiress. Young Spaulding is a young man of great expectations himself. The fiance of Miss Gifford was a humble farmer of no particular fortune. At the close of the teachers' insti tute Miss Gifford ind some other happy young scbooima'ams went out for a walk about ine village. One of the girls knew the good-looking dry -goods clerk, an4 she said: 1'0, let's go soe Bert Spaulding! I'll bet he'll treat to ice cream 1" They went to see Bert Spaulding. He was busy and couldn't get out just then, but the girls went to an icecream parlor near by and ordered. While they were eating their ice cream 3'oung Spaulding, having got over his rush at the store, came iu. He ordered some ice cream, and while things were lively some of the girls said: -Why, Ellie Gifford! Wouldn't you and Bert make a nice couple to be married!" There was a great laugh, and be fore it was over who should come in but young James Wells. Everybody knew him. "Now let;s have some fun," said one of the happy schoolma'ams. "Bert, you and Ellie stand up and let Jimmic Wells do a mock mar riage." The couple stood up, Jimmie Wells performed the marriage, in regula tion style, and as a fee Bert treated him to ice cream. Everybody had a good time and nothing more was thought of It uutil James Wells hap pened to think that he had been elected justice of the peace at the last town meeting. Then there was a time. Kow it happened that the parents of Miss Gifford did not approve of the choice she had made in becom ing engaged to be married to the farmer, and when they heard of the supposed mock tnprriago they in sisted that it be made more valid by a- certificate. Miss Gifford did not approve of this, and Bert Spaulding was not inclined to consider the marriage binding. But the girl's parents brought such pressure to bear on the young justice of llu peace that he was obliged to make the ceremony more valid and issued the certificate. Then Miss Gifford and Mr. Spaulding consulted coun sel, and the result was the bringing of an amical l? action to have, the marriage annulled. Judge Ward, of the supreme court, granted the or der. Miss Gifford will now marry her farmer and young Spaulding will marry the heiress, and it is said it will boa double wedding. N. Y. Sun. AHEAD CF THE RUSH. Mr. Kcmplo Swore Off Early to Avoid the January Rush. A good story i.-; told of Mr. Jacob Kcmplej, the well known and popular repu blican orator and raconteur of West Virginia. Mr. Kemple was invited out to dinner a few evenings before the close of the year by one of the leading republicans and citi zens of New York in company with several other brilliant lights of the party. A good dinner story and cham pagne comprised the programme and entertainment. The witty West Virginian was in his happiest mood spinning yarns to the delectation of all present, when the host noticed that his glass of "the sparkling" re mained untouched, and called his attention to that fact. Mr. Kemple then arose and said: "I feel that a:i explanation is due our host, and 1 am pleased to make it. We are ap proaching the beginning of a new war, when good resolutions as to sl,0vs no postal flags, and several drinking, smoljing, lying, gambling. ; iiuiuiricb have been made as to what etc., wili be in order, just as they fla, vvas usod.

MCDJ E" K., AND FAIR. n actress i-e -i m t-r a wu.-ver an GiS H m a TiP- "One of the most interesting rem licences told c.f Senator Fair." remarked a promim-nt mining man at the Palace hotel. say- the San Francisco Chronicle, "is concerning an incident that happened up on the Comstock many "ears ago. Modjes- .had come up to Virginia City, and wantcnl to see a Comstock mine Sam Davis, the publisher of the Ap peal, undertook to show the actress the workings of a mine. Armed with the proper authority, they de scended the shaft to the six hundred-foot level and there ran across Fair. "Now 'Modjeska didn't know the first thing about a mine, though she was not entirely devoid of informa tion concerning the owners of the Comstock. The name of James G. Fair was as familiar to her as to al most auy Califoruian, although sle had never met the bonanza king. She had imagined that a man of his millions must be a dignified sort of personage, scrupulously attired and rather inclined to stand aloof from the men whom he employed. So it didn't occur to her for a moment that ihe man in the grizzled beard and canvas overalls whom she met on the six hundred foot level fas James G. Fair, though Davis distinctly in troduced him to the actress as 'Mr. Fair." " 'So you waut to see the mine?' inquired Fair. "Mine. Modjcska replied that such was the object of her visit. " 'Well, might I have the pleasure of escorting you through?' he asked. "Modjeska replied that she would be pleased. So Fair joined the party and showed them through the mine. "When they returned to the top of the shaft and went into the office Modjeska suggested: 'Mr. Davis, let me pay my guide for his trouble.' " 'Well, you might give him fifty cents,' suggested Davis, and lie chuckled at the prospect. "Modjeska laid a fifty-cent piece on the counter and thanked him for his services. Fair looked at her in blank astonishment. It was such & remarkable proceeding that he was perfectly dumfounded and stared at her in silence. Modjeska was equally puzzled, but Davis came to her relief. '1 guess he wants more,' ho said. 'Yo-j had better make it a dollar.' Modjeska laid another half dolhir piece on the counter and then walked out of the office. "The next day they were offering odds in the poolroom in Virginia City that Fair took the dollar." . , Too Tight. When I grew old enough to "make calls" myself, the first experience of this performed social duty is highly painful to recollect. I accompanied my father on a round of visit which luckily did not require a spacious radius for its accomplishment. I wore, on that momentous occasion, a pair of new patent leather shoes which gave me, on the start, a few ominous pinches. Later, my tor ments became, excruciating, and yet I refused to tell my father, as we walked along together, that I suf fered in the faintest degree. But, ah, hew I suffered! 1 was not yet too old quite to have outgrown the allurements of plum cake and pickled oysters, but I had no desire for either in the various drawing-rooms which we entered. What to me was pleasure of the palate then, while every joint in every toe was burning and throbbing? Surely the daring depreciations of past New Year's days were being punished now. Every stolen pickled oyster,-very ravished macaroon must have been wreaking upon me a separate pang of punishment. E;!gar Fawcett, iu Lippin colt's. The United S cites Mail Flag.
