One of fbe drummers, while-' thej regiment wasi on . the move, bad a penohAot.foiK foraging on his own account,' and the chickens had to roost high to escape his far-reaching hands. Whenever night -.1 joYeftook them this drummer had a good stlpber, provided lor tumselt . Un one occasion he had raked in a conple of tarkeys and had put them into his drum for convenience in carrying. When' the regiment was halted for. the night, tho Golpael immediately 'ordered drees parade, and the drummers were expected to ieat up. Tnoiorager maae nu arum- . sticks go, bat the quick-eyed Colonel noticed that he was not drumming.' v t Adjutant," said the CJolonel, "that man isn't drnroming. Why .'ain't ,.he drnmrning?''

Pour hundred thousand alligators, it is esti mated, were killed in Ilorida. during the past year, to supply the demand for alligator skin articles of all kinds, besides articles of jewelry manufactured from the teeth. ''This new busi ness gires employment to over 2,000 people in the South. There are over a dozen tanneries in the 'Unitedj States engaged' exclusively in aurt7 r?" 'T,,M.- Tbe eh are in demaufl 4 1' THE bBAtED TKBJL . It is well to bear in mind the fact that during the heated term there is always a marked in crease in the number of crimes, of 'violence. Undoubtedly the hot weather has something to do with this.. It unstrings the nerves, makes people, irritable, and causes them to lose their temper more readily than it other times. ' Bj some it is contended that electrical conditions of the atmosphere are responsible for these effects, bnt the: cause is of minor consideration. With the fact staring us in the face everybody will see the importance of keeping cod and avoiding undue excitement. ;'.t ': '-,, . x ' , THE LITTLE BUDGET. One of the smallest men in the United 8tatea lives at Cedar ey. H name is Abecham Livingston Sawyer. He is twenty-two years old, forty tod; one-half inches high, weighs thirty-nine pounds, and the captain he came over with from Key West says he cab eat more than any two men in the State. The midget was born and Teared tn Key West.' 1 He is built i ui jwiiwi piupui uuu, im Ttjrj ungatf ana can make an eloquent speech, and has a dear, high r: voice, which sounds like a child's.' Re was atone time a reporter on tbe Kew West'Demo- 'crat. At present ne is clerking in a grocery store. ' He has- a sister . whb is Just a quarter of an inch taller than he is, and is just seventeen "yearS'Old, '? ' !' "-..: f -.' DECAYINO BODIES. j A Philadelphia physician says that there is a great deal of exaggeration in much that has been written and said about the pollution of ; water and air by the bodies of the dead. Earth . is a great deodorizer, and when (bodies: are placed in it they gradually . decompose, and all septic and poisonous matter are removed. The : . slow process of combustion goes on in the - grave. The gasses that escape are seised upon by other forms of life. -As an instance going to shew that the gasses from the dead do not effect the living may be mentioned the church of the Capuchins at Borne. The body of each monk when hi dies m placed in the earth be low tho church until it has decayed. It is then exhumed and plaeed against the walls of the vault. The survivors whb live over this ehar nel house have never been in the least affected by the exhalations from the decaying bodies, SILVEH. MTNES jO JKBXICO. So many disparaging; estimates of Mexico and her production have irecenUy come before the public that it has at least the charm of novelty to see the other side occasionally shown tip. Take the: single item of silver mines, for Instance. It may be off considerable interest to all who are Idirectly or remotely concerned In such matters to learn that there are fully 800 separate silver mines in the single State of Zacatecas. due of these mines has already yielded not less than one thousand trillions of dollars. This tein was first worked in 1518 by one of the lieutenants of, Cortes. In the court of the next forty years the settlement increased to such an extent that Philip the Second gave ft a coat of arms and; the title, : "Noble and Loyal City." 'Aside from its- mining, interests Zacatecas is . an interesting old place. " It has about 75,000. inhabitants, and is the northern most city of any importance on the Central railroad. Standing 8,000 feet above sea level (to climate is delightful. Until this year the old town has been isolated, but in future its street will resound with the hum of American enterprise. 1 1 1 , ' , ja PREDICTION. 1 M, Quad places this prediction on record, and those who are acquainted with the situa tion will see that .be underestimates the poten tialities of the future. Of Alabama he says that ten years hence she will supply a great part of the country ? with coal and Iron. In that time Sehna, Huntsvfile and Montgomery will nearly double their population.

Twenty thousand barrels of cement were used. The mixture for the stone was 'emptied into the ''jacket," or moldj and then the snxplus water was squeesed out. The stone rapidly hardened and will now bear one hundred tons to the square foot. It is only expected to bear up J five tons to the square foot, but it will grow hardy for the next two yean. It has the color an of grain of coarse gray sandstone. It is sunk fifteen feet below the floor of the fort and rises thirty-seven feet above it, has a base of ninety one feet square, is sixty-seven feet square at the top, and has fifty-two feet and ten inches high. On top of this will be erected the gran ite pedestal from which is to tower in all its magnificent proportions the colossal work of the great French sculptor. ! The casting of this mammoth monolith evidences the extent of modern progress in a signal way, especially when we Imagine how, by this concrete pro cess, Cheops could have so much more easily moulded his pyramid and the Russian emperor been spared the great undertaking of removing to St. Petersburg the monster rock which sup ports the equestrian effigy of j Peter the Great. . -' , ' e PASTEUR'S DISCOVERIES. No greater advance has been made in any department of human knowledge during the past quarter of a century than in that which relates to medicine and sanitation. It has been discovered that tuberculosis has its origin in a specific germ. It has been found that spletdo fever .may be prevented by vaccination j there is a vaccine for chicken cholera ; and the Important discovery has been made that cholera has a bacillic germ. These discoveries point to the day, not far distant, when all zymatic dis eases will be controlled by niedical science. The latest and most important discovery is that of the French scientist, Pasteur, who has perfected a vaccine for the prevention of hy drophobia. In other words, Pasteur inoculates monkeys with the virus taken from a mad dog. The uiotikv-'B dTi-d. "vTHb "n varus tal;r. u;. Until the virus became Weak enough to be well nigh harmless. With this he inoculated rab bits until the virus had regained its original intensity, so that by this series of experiments he was enabled to obtain -virus of different degrees of power. He then! inoculated a dog with virus ef different degrees of intensity, and finally with virus taken directly from the brain of a mad-dog. The dog thus experi mented upon showed that he was proof against hydrophobia, The experiment, was repeated a number of times, and always with the game re sult. .: , ;. . .
