An automobile from Columbia was the attraction on our streets Friday. The horseless wagon was a scarecrow for the wagon horse. France and Germany have amicably oaM-IaA their little differences and the white dove of peace now hovers over the two old-time enemies. The signs for rain up to Friday last have been very encouraging, but the rain failed to come. All signs, it is said, fail in dry weather. Mr. Perry W. Barnes, the tombstone man of Ridge Spring, was intown Friday doing monumental work in St. Stephen's cemetery. Cotton has gone up in price with a hop, skip and a jump, and as a consequent many farmers who have been holding cotton are unloading. The price here Friday was 9 25.

A Itrart* Sailor Who Paid the Peual* *>" of Other Men's Folly. i Two years after Voltaire left Frussia ( George Keith came to visit him in SwitI zerland to plead the cause of an English friend, Byng. The story of Byng is familiar to all his countrymen. The French had beaten the English on the 1 sea, and, mad with disappointed rage > the blundering ministry, of England turned on their luckless instrument Byng. Voltaire was the lifelong friend of Richelieu, the conqueror. But h was, too, the man of whom it was ?aid that "for twenty years the redress 1 of judicial wrong" hung entirely on his ' pen. On Dec. 20, 1750, he wrote tc Richelieu telling Byng's story, and that vainglorious person replied generously ' enough in an open letter, wherein he stated that had Byng continued the fight the English fleet must have beer totally destroyed and that the admiral's I misfortune came not from cowardice 01 5 inefficiency, but from the hand of Got] and the valor of the French. 1 Voltaire wrote to Byng, sending Rich' elieu's letter, but he could not save the victim. Byng paid the penalty of othei men's folly. To Voltaire he left a * grateful message and a copy of his defense, and in "Candide," with that bantering malice which is his alone, Vol ' taire sharply satirizes the scene of the ' admiral's execution. "And why should this admiral be put to death?" "Because he has not killed enough nnnrvia U? -f/Mierht xH th ? TTVon^h ad.

"That is certainly true," was the an ' swer. "But in this country it is salu, tary to put an admiral to death no"w and then pour encourager les autres."? Cornhill Magazine. ZUNI FAMILY LIFE. 1 A Village Loots Like a Hage Hive ol Clay on a Sandy Knoll. , The little half civilized children oi * Zuni so aroused our curiosity that w : drove through forty miles of sand and sagebrush, from the railroad at Fori Wingate, to pay them a visit. As th * Indians do not provide for travelers we . took our hotel with us?tents, beds and food?and camped just outside tkeii village. The village looks like a huge ? beehive made of clay and stuck fasl ( to the top of a sandy knoll. The hive is filled with a mass of cells?-300 single rooms, placed side by side >and piled ii r rows one on top of another. . In each of these rooms lives a Zuni family. There are no inside stairwayt I leading from story to story, but if the i boys a&a giris nving m one ruw Trust j to pay a visit to a house above then they must go outdoors and climb a lad der. On the slope between the villag* 3 and the Zuni river are a number ol l small vegetable gardens, each one in closed by a mud wail. Zuni has ik 3 inns, no shops, no saloons, not ever ; proper street*, but only narrow alleys i that thread their way through th< , strange town. As we walked througt r the village all the world came oat U , see us. Girls and boys clustered or the roofs or sat on the ovens?queei little cones of mud which seem to grow up out of the house tops?while fa ) thers, mothers and babies peered oui from dark doorways to stare at th< > visitors. When we had finished oui i tour of the roofs and alleys we wer< j hospitably invited indoors. Even then the children followed us, and as w< 3 glanced up at a hole in the ceiling 1 which served as a window a girl'i j laughing face filled the opening.
