England owns Gibraltar, and la well fortltled with about one thousand gnus. Qo tbe top is a signal statloh. It has a few orange and olive trees, and tbe fig grows there too. At the foot of the rock Is a town. Oo tbe east aDd south and north aides you can not climb u. Dut/On ine west u mopeo and there Is a buy and a town. Semmes says, this town Is a tine market for Jrult and flsb. There Is a great many caves In It It Is sometimes called tbe "Hill of Caves.'' There has been made an .opening into tbe rook, and every ten yards bas acannoo mounted. There Is no growth on the top of this rock, and only a lew small apes live tbere. These are very strange little animals, and they have no tails. They sometimes destroy tbe fruit, but nobody barms them. The.dlstance arouod this rock is seven miles, and tbe height above tbe sea level Is one thousand six hundred feet. The bones of men and animals have been found in some of these caves. This fortress Is kept op by tbe toll paid by vessels to enter the strait. When a Arm wants to show Usability It speaks of itself as, "Strong as the Kock of Gibraltar." < Paul Mazyck, 4 th Grade, t ciiaki.es lamb. .. Charles Lamb, the great English essayist, * L -- ' * -* ? -"??? Wo Kofnro thA wan oorn iu ijuuuuu, a icw uiumua wv*v*w ?mv.{ battle of Lexington was fought In oor own country. HIh father, John Lamb, was a clerk and kind or servant companion (or Mr. Salt in the temple. Having thin position, beob-j tainedaplace at Christ's Hospital (a charity school) for Charles, the youngest ol bis three children. Tbe boy stayed In this place from; his eighth to his fifteenth year. While there Samuel Taylor Coleridge was one of bis frle&is. who, though two years old than Lamb, had good iniluence over him. After Charles came Irotn school be "spent a great part or bis time in the library of Mr. Salt. Then he got a ponltlon as clerk In tbe South .Sea House, under his brother, Jobn. When be had stayed there awhile, hegota better place with the East India Company, where during the next thirty-three years he wrote what he called his true "works." But soon something happened to mar Charles' happiness. There had been a touch of Insanity in the family, and when twenty-one years old, he. himself, bad been confined to the lunatic asylum for several weeks. Now, his sister. Mary, who had been bo worried by tbe care or her luvalid mother and poor old rather, stabbed the mother, and wounded the father, in a sudden tit of Insanity. She vwas seat to tbe asylum for life, hut finding that her fits came and went, Charles said that lie would care for his sister. liefore this happened. Lamb had met a young lady, iliss AliCQ Wluterton, whom he liked very much, but the sad thing prevented their union He afterwards wrote a poem called "Dream Children, A Reverie," in memory of the time when liis early hopes were blighted. In 1790 Larob, Coleridge anil Llovd wrote a book of poems. Afterwards Lamb wrote a religious poem, which was very much ridiculed. Again the same thing happened, but this did not check his love lor writing. I suppose he bad tbe old saying, "If at first you don't succeeded, try, try again," anr^'^ was tryiug to live up to that plan. Lamb's most famous wi jfls are the essays of Klia. He and Marv^Ko wrote the "Stories of the Plays of SaHpspeare." For about live yeare Lamb wrotOTtfr the "London Magazine." About the time he stopped that he?aveuphls position with the East India Company, recelviug a pension of lour hundred and fifty pounds. f After that lie moved to the country, where he lived a very quiet life.)

It may, therefore, seem to the, reader that the Seaboard Ih a clear gainer. But not so. Recently in ordering a machine, and remembering the former treatment by' the Seaboard, he ordered the last machine over the Southern. Of coarse the carrying business of a small firm is nothing, but when an ill-mannered, self-conceited official attempts to put his ; ponderous heel oO' the humblest citizen he gains nothing for tbfcroad whose business be j mismanage*. The Southern, we presume, will not buy an I oceau steamer with the profiis of doing business with the ci'lzen in question,and we pre[sume the loss of tils business over tbeSea| board Air Line will not tie/missed, but the business methods of that road has turned I away many of Its warmest friends in Abbeville. I When the road lirst entne to Abbeville, perhaps four-tithsoi our people were morefrlend| ly to the Seaboard than to the Southern. j Shampoo your own neaa unu skvo u?ruw fee haslblra will clean the scalp.
