The historic action, of Rennes raake it peculiarly fitted to be the seat ot the Dreyfus court-martial. The army and the Bench of France each honors this ancient capital of Brittany as the birth-place of a hero. There, where the qlet streams of Hie and Vltainc m.ngle their calm How. was torn Bertram! Du Gueschn (1814 W.) the famous Con stable, who was the greatest warrior of his age in the Gallic realm. There, too. was bom, four centuries later, Jean penis Lanjuinais t1758-l. the emi nent jrit and it. -.man of revolu tionary days As Du OneMhn first dis tinguished himself in a tournament at Bennes so Lanju.n.us became profeor of ecclesiastical law in the shadow of Du Guestli.'s old castle ot Iai Motte Broon before going to Tans in 17S9 as B deputy to the States General. Lan juinais, who voted banishment instead of death to the king, had to flee again to Rennes during the Ueign of Terror, but later became one of Napoleon's ready-made Counts, and was made a peer by Louis XVIII. There is quite a contrast Iwtwwn a French military court martial and a United States military court of inquiry. The torture of the French system is terrible to the accused while our Ameri can system puts the torture on the ac cuser, protects the accused ami rewards him when adjudged guilty.

Soul LYNOHl'NG. 1 The ministers of Atlanta met last Monday and lynching was the matter discussed. Tim body, before adjourning, passed resolutions which are, it seems to us, wise and conservative. The plan they suggest is certainly calculated to provoke intelligent discussion. The resolutions are as follows: : "First, we find a widespread demand for .summary justice against all who commit rape or attempt to commit rape. We hnd that these crimes are nearly always committed by negroes on white women ami clndien, and for these crimes chielly is lynch law in voked, but not exclusively. hen lynch ing begins the tendency is to extend Us operation over other oftenscs winch in their character are especially iiiiamnus. ' As ministers of the gospel, as .ser vants of the Lord who taught Ins dis ciples to obey and suppor the law, we sincerely and sternly condemn and op pose all lynch law, ' Second, we most earnestly request and recommend our preachers to use their influence in the pulpit and in pas toral work to create a public sentiment in tavor of law and order and against disorder and anrchy. "Third, we appeal to all good and in fluential colored people, ol whom we are glad to .i'lieve that there are very many, to help us in these efforts. We beg to use their influence with their people to make thein sec the awliil wrong of these ernnes, and to induce them to aid the righttul authorities to bring these criminals to justice. "Fourth, we are not legislators. We are, however, citizens, and though we are preachers, this is not an ecclesias tical bodv. e have us iniieh right to ask tor legislation on moral and social questions as the chamber of commerce has to ask tor it on commercial or eco nomic questious, or the State Medical Association on sanitary questions. "We beg, therefore, to lie heard be fore the law-making powers in the tol lowing suggestion: "First, l'liat certain crimes, such us rape, the attempt to rape, murder in the act, or in the attempt to mmmjt. burglary, train wrecking, oi arson, the murder ot women ami children, the murder of several helpless victims, ami the lil i. he classified as sunuested by Mr. Garrard, of Columbus, (in., 'infamous crimes, ' ,-ind that ther all be subjected to some system ot speedv trial and summary justice "Second. We trust that the law innv be so amended as completely to pro tect the delicacy ot unfortunate female witnesses. "Third. That the law mav have a stronger deterrent eftfot, we suggest that, if possible, heavier penalties be awarded to the commission and the attempt to commit snch ornues" There seems to be. a season of "Hell broke loose in Georgia."

It was said of Mr. Cainc that he vas economical. He felt himself under obligations to 11 young woman whose work had aided him, and learning that she was going to celebrate a birthday the following week he said to her broth er; 'I am anxious 10 get a birthday present tor your sister which will suit her. Won't you please .sound her and hud out what she particularly wantsV The brother was a shrewd young man and on the day before his sister's birth day he invited Mr. Caine to walk up town a few blocks and inscot the one thing which would please his sister above all others. Mr. ('nine thought of gold hairpins and things like that. The broth er, however, steered clear of jewelry stores and guided Mr. Came info a sales stable. A smart cob with 11 new trap stood ready for inspection. "This is what will please her,' said the brother She has seen llus outfit and it suits her 111 every particular. ' The 11111 11 who ran Hie place told me afterward that Mr ('nine looked as if a great misfortune had befallen him. It was reporlcd that his profits hud beeii large in New York and there was no escape for him. He bought the horse and trap and the girl's brother has enjoyed it quite as much as she has."

Few people know that many of the old stamp? lying idle on letters and papers of by-gone davs, in their old trunks and gar rets, are worth large sums of money. Many of the readers of this paper have locked away omewhere old stamps that are worth from ten to a hundred dollars each, aud may be readily turned to cash. Handsome reward has frequently met the hunter of old stamps, a case of recent occurrence being that of the Janitor of the Louisville (Ky.) Court House, who received several thousand dollars for stamps found among waste paper, which had been consigned to the scrap basket to bo burned. The price once obtained for a single Con federate stamp was enough to keep a family in comfort for a year. This stamp was found by a lady in Jeffereonvillo. Ga., and waa mailed from Macon, Ga., in 1861. It waa purchased And then resold in Bt. Louis, in 1895, for a very large Bum. There are un questionably still a great many of these local stamps to be found. This Btarap was the " Macon. " Ga., stamp shown in Illus tration and was not known to exist before this specimen was found . Others may have been used in various cities of the South during the civil war, which will bring equally as high prices. The stamp-hunter will quickly become fas cinated with the work, besides reapinga prof itable reward . The best way to go about it is to first ransack your old trunks, garrets and closets forthe letters and papers of forty odd years ago: go amongst your neighbors and get what they have, and, if possible, get per mission to secure what you ean from old letters and papers in the Court House; the send them, all together, to some reliable dealer, who will cheerfully sort them over, appraise them, and notify yon of their cash value. ' A 1 i ttle trouble looking up these old stamps during the winter months would lift manyO mortgage. ENNYRQYAL PILLS VrilleleU vATOTSeiasiwa APC. ftlwa.Ti iwUftM). tote uk l rt I - a.
