Origin of Popular Expressions.

n “Tell that to the marines’' indicates
the contempt which, even to the pres
ent daj, professional sailors feel and
express for the soldiers who form a
portion of the complement on board a
man-of-war, says an exchange,
“Do at Rome as Romans do” is
credited to no less an authority than
St. Augustine, who advised a convert,
donbtfnl abont the propriety of some
onttom observed at Rome, to do as
other people did.
- The term “bluestocking” is as old
as the year 1400, at which date in
Venice a society of literary ladies and
gentlemen was organized, the members
of ifhich as a distinguishing badge
wore blue stockings.
“As tight as Dick’s husband” origi
nated in the days of Richard Crom
well, son of the great Oliver, who, in
the humorous parlance of the time,
found the crown so tight that he could
not put it on his head.
“By the holy poker” is a popular
abbreviation of an oath which became
common during the crusades. “By
the holy sepulcher” was in the mouth
of all England during the two centur
ies that the crusados went on.
“To haul over the coals” recalls the
former legal custom of trial by fire,
the accused walking barefoot over a
bed of glowing coals and his innocence
or guilt being deduced from the
condition of his feet after a certain
number of days had elapsed.

BILL ARP’S LETTEIL
POLITICS ENGROSSES THE PHIL
OSOPHER’S ATTENTION.
Says he Is Sorry That Mr. Bryan Was
Defeated For the Presidency.
It is a good time to write some more
“meditations among tho tombs,” or
“an ode to melancholy,” or a few
verses like “This world‘is all a fleeting
ehow.” The election is over and the
bad news keeps coming and the heav
ens are weeping and everything is
going wrong. Very early this morn
ing I was sweetly dreaming, when
there was a gentle rap at tho door and
I thonght that possibly some friend or
nabor had come to tell me that Bryan
was elected, but the voice spake and
said: “Mammy say she can’t come dis
mornin’—she sick.”
Oh, my poor, bleeding country. No
cook and the rain just pouring down.
Mrs. Arp made no sign, so I slipped
ont of bed and dressed and tiptoed out
to tho culinary department. I fired
up the stove and put cn the hominy
and the coffee and fed the cow and
brought in some more wood and got
everything ready for feminine hands
before I awakened tbem. In course
of time they came and made the
biscuit and fried' the sausage and
scrambkl some eggs and we had
a No. 1 breakfast and I felt better.
Sorrow endureth for a night, but joy
cometh in the morning about break
fast time. I felt calm and serene and
did like Obndiah Oldbuck always did
when bad luck overtook him. T put
on a clean shirt and went down town
to rejoice with those who were re
joicing and to weep with those who
wept. Several days ago I had pre
pared my mind for a defeat. I had
hedged so that the disappointing shock
would not be so shocking when it came,
but still I secretly indulged a hope
that there might be a landslide, an
avalanche, an interposition of provi
dence in Bryan’s favor. A man may
think he is prepared for the worst,
bat he can’t cheat himself ont of his
wishes. My comfort now is in sympa
thizing with our hero, in admiring the
grandeur of the man who can now,
like Paul, exclaim, “I have fought a
good fight; I have kept tho faith.”
The coming historian will do him jus
tice and ho will rank with the great
men of the nation.
One thing I rejoice at, and that is
the election of a Republican congress
to co-operate with McK'nley. Let
there be no excuse for the winning
side and if they do not revive tho in
dustries and prosperity of the country
within the next four years then they
must step down ami out or they will
be burled from power ns Jupiter hurled
Vulcan from the Olympian heights.
Vulcan was nine days fnl ing and broke
bis leg and is lame yet.
Now let ns have pence and rest. I
sincerely wish thnt McKinley could
stay in office for a term < f ten years
and then have to retire for good. The
presidential term is too short. It takes
all of one year to grease the machinery
and get it in running order; then two
years for w r ork, and the last year is de
voted to mending fences and fixing up
for another election. It is the same
way with our governoi’s election. The
term is too short; and it looks like
some folks want to make it shorter
still. The people are tired of elections
—we get excited and get m d with one
another, and by tho time we get over
it here comes another ejection, and we
get mid again. We men folks could
stand it fairly well, but our women
folke get excited too, and make some
remarko that become a circulating me
dium and cause unh< a tliy agitation of
the female mind.—Bill A r.r,in Atlanta
Constitution.
AN ERROR IN DELAWARE.
Resulted in McKinley Losing One of
His Electors.
Although the republicans carried
Deleware by almost 14,000 for the
head of the ticket. Major McKinley
will receive but two of the three elec
tors, unless the matter is takeu into
the courts.
The result is due to the factional
fight iu the republican ranks. On tho
regular republican ticket, the name of
one of the electors appeared as “James
O. Shaw,” while on the Union repub
lican ticket was printed tho name of
“James G. Shaw, Sr.” In counting
the ballots, the “Shaw” and the “Shaw,
Sr.,” the tickets were canvassed sepa
rately.
By this division, John H. Rodney*
the highest candidate for elector on
the democratic tick* t, is thereby
elected, the vote standing, Shaw, 10,-
182; Shaw, Sr., 10,208; Rodney, 10,
581.

Advices received up to Saturday
night from South Dakota state that
the republican ticket and congressmen
are now far enough ahead of tho elec
toral ticket to insure their election.

TENNESSEE IS DEMOCRATIC.
Gives Bryan 13,000 AInjorlty and
Elects Taylor Governor.
A Nashville special of Friday night
says: Unofficial returns and estimates
of counties not reported show that
Taylor, democrat, is undoubtedly
elected governor by about 7,000 plu
rality and that Bryan’s plurality in the
state will bo between 13,000 and
15,000.
Tho legislature will be democratic
on joint ballot by a majority of fifty-
eight, there being ninety-five out of a
total of 132. The republican state
committee charges gross frauds in
Madison, Fayette, Haywood and Lau
derdale counties. It is charged that
the result iu the state has been changed
by the dishonest count in tbeie conn-
ties and it is probable that there will
be a contest over the governorship.
THANKS TilE PEOPLE
PRESIDENT-ELECT 31’KINLKY IS
GRATEFUL FOR HONORS.
Chairman Hanna Highly Commended
for Services Rendered.
The following telegram was received
at New York Thursday night by Mark
A. Hanna from Major McKinley:
“Canton, O., Nov. 5. — Hon. M. A.
Hanna, New York: Yonr telegraphic
message announcing the result of the
election has been received. I beg you
to accept my hearty thanks for yonr
great services in the cause of sound
money and protection tbronghout the
campaign now closed and gloriously
won. They were most generous and
tffective and will receive the warm ap
probation of your countrymen every
where.
“I will be pleased to have you con
vey to yonr associates of the national
committee my high appreciation of
their efficient services. The people in
their majesty ignoring party lines
have declared their detestation of re
pudiation and dishonor in whatever
specious guise they may be presented.
They have with a mighty power
affirmed their devotion to law and
order and their undeviating re
spect for jnstice and the courts.
They have maintained their un
faltering determination to support and
uphold the constituted authorities of
the country anil thereby give new
vigor and strength to our free institu
tions. They have, indeed, again con-
sgsfrated themselves Ito country and
bapt zed the cbeVished ordinances of
free government with a new and holy
patriotism. Tho victory is not to party
or section, but of and for the whole
American people.
“Not the least of tho triumphs of
the election is the obliteration of sec
tional lines in the republic. We have
demonstrated to the world that we are
a reunited people in purpose as in
name. We have manifested in the
great canse tho spirit of frater
nity and brotherhood thnt should al
ways characterize our community and
equal citizenship and have proven con
clusively that in a country of equal
privileges ami equal opportunities the
insidious doctrine of hate or of class
or sectional distinctions cannot prevail.
“Let us as Americans straightway
devote ourselves to the upbuilding of
America to the peace, honor and glory
of our common country. Party dis
sensions should no longer divide or
rack tho public mind nor the zeal or
temper on cither side deter any citizen
from patriotic devotion to the good of
all. William McKinley.”
MAI’S OF W. & A. COMPLETED.
’lie New Survey of the State’s Rail
road Is Finished.
The new maps of the Western and
Atlantic railroad, made by order of
he general assembly, hive been com-
deted and are now being checked by
ipccial Attorney Wimbisb. In a few
lays Ibey will be ready for inspection
»y the joint committee of the house
ud senate, and when approved by
hem they will be filed iu the archives
J tho state to be used as evidence
ihenever there is a controversy over
he boundary lines of the state’s road.
These maps constitute the only com
pete record of the right of way of the
Vestern and Atlantic road and will,
herefore, be of great value to the state
n case there should be any attempted
ncroachment on the state’s territory.
The act by which tho survey of the
iroperty from Chattanooga to Atlanta
ms ordered provided that the maps
ud records should have the force and
fleet of a record of deed to laud, thus
lefiuitely fixing tho exact boundary
ine of the right of way. Whenever
ny person encroaches upon the prop-
rty of tho Western and Atlantic, as
hown iu tho new maps, the governor
s authorized to summarily remove
uch encroachments.
Further provisions of the act make
he maps of the greatest importance,
’here are fifty separate maps covering
very foot of the Western and Atlantic
iroperty.
MRS. ANDERSON CONFESSED
That She it Was Who Killed Charles
Williams.
A great sensation was sprung at
Yorkville.S. C., Tuesday,iu tho Reese-
•Luckie-Anderson murder trial by tho
confession of Mrs. Ellen Anderson,
who was charged with being an accom
plice to tho murder of Charles F. Wil
liams, of Georgia.
Mrs. Anderson said that she is the
slayer of Chas. F. Williams. She
stated that Williams came to her room
on the night of the 6th of February
and forced an admission. With a re
volver in her hand she ordered him 11
leave. She followed him out of tho
room and fired three shots to scare
him. At the time was not aware that
she was even shooting in his direction
and got the first intimation of the kill
ing at 12 o’clock that night.
The confession came like a bomb
shell. Only the elay before her attor
neys had declared that the evidence
-failed to implicate her.
What effect the confession will have
is not yet determined. There is great
excitement and the courtroom is con
tinually crowded almost to suffocation.
Sirs. Castle Imprisoned.
The trial at London of Mr. and
Mrs. Walter M. Castle, of San Fran
cisco, charged with shoplifting, was
held in the sessions house at Olerken-
well Friday and resulted in Mr. Castle
being acquitted and Mrs. Castle being
sentenced to three months’ imprison

ON THE HEIGHT,
HE.
I dreamed last night, my darling,
That you stood on u height,
Arrayed in shimmering garments,
And glorious to the sight;
And all the roads of all tho earth
Led up to where you stood,
Tho very apotheosis
Of gentle maidenhood;
And people came from near and far,
The lowly and the great,
To gaze in wonderment upon
You in your regal slate;
Dut, ah! my love, in all that throng,
Thnt had been drawn to thee,
One person only hold tliv gaze—
And I, oh. joy, was he!
HUE.
Au 1 in your dream, pray toil mo,
As I stood upon that height,
Arrayod in shimmering garments,
And glorious to tho sight —
There on that lofty pinnacle,
As I in splendor stood,
The very apotheosis
Of gentle maidenhood—
Aud, as the people pressed around,
The lowly and the great,
To gaze with wonderment upon
Me in mv regal state—
Ob. tell me. tell me truly,
Aud relievo my troubled mind -
As I stood up there in glory,
Did my skirts hang straight behind?

does it mean by seeing ‘the humorous
side of things?’ ’’ Father—“Well, my
son, take a banana peel, for example.
How many sides has it?” Jackie—
“Why, two, of course.” JFather—
“Exactly; and when some other man
steps on that banana peel, he sees the
serious side of it, aud you see the hu
morous side.”—Truth.

Dr. Lewy has just made a communi
cation to the Berlin physiological so
ciety regarding the latest application
of the Roentgen rays. It has now be
come possible, ho declared, to obtain
a complete picture of the internal or
gans, as regards their situation, ftifca
and mechanism. This is accomplished
by means of the Flnorescenz screen.
The whole body is lighted up so that
the shadow of the various parts and
organs is thrown on the screen. Dr.
Du Bois-Reymond and Professor
Grummaoh, who had aided Dr. Lewy
in his investigations, further reported
that they had succeeded iu seeing tho
organs of the throat, tho larynx, the
tongue and the stomach. Professor
Gruramach has further succeeded in
making pathological studies of the
human body. He examined a man
who had formerly suffered from con
sumption and hemorrhage of tho
lungs. He noticed that in tbe part of
the body where the lungs lie (the
lungs are too transparent to be visible
by means of the Roentgen rays) there
were a number of opaque spots. These
were places where ossification of the
tuberculous parts of the lungs had set
iu. In another case he saw small black
lines in the heart of a patient just
where tho main arteries lie. These
showed that the ossification of this
part of the heart had set iu, although
it could not be diagnosed by any of
the usual means. The correctness of
these observations was confirmed by
the fact that the pulse in the wrist was
bard to the touch, and signs of ossifi
cation could be observed near the el
bow and in the forearm.—New Y’ork
Herald.
Terrible Spiders.
As a rule, spiders are quite harmless
to man, but one or two foreign species
are capable of doing mischief. Tbe
great, hairy spider of the South Ameri
can pampas, for instance, has long,
black, sickleshaped jaws, which inflict
severe wounds, and the effects of the
poison are sometimes felt for many
years after the bite is given.
But au even more objectionable
spider is found on the same pampas.
It is very large, very active, and of
extraordinarily bad temper. It not
only resents any intrusion upon its
domain, but objects even to any one
looking over the hedge.
Men on horseback who ventured to
approach within ten feet of it have
been pursued for thirty yards, tho
spider keeping up with a trotting
horses. This irritable individual is
called “the king of spiders.”
Oddest Monument in llie World.
Perhaps one of the very oddest
monuments is the tablet iu a Berkshire
church in memory of a soldier who
had his left leg taken off “by tho
above ball,” the actual canon ball be
ing inserted at the top. — Pittsburg
Dispatch.
Africa’s Ruined Temples*
Ruined temples are slated by Robert
M. W. Swain, an English anthropolo
gist. to be so numerous in Mashona-
land that one might safely undertake
to find a hundred within ten miles of
Salisbnry, while the number in tho
entire country between the Zambesi
and Mimpopo rivers mnst be enor
mous. These remains of the people
who built Zimbabwe take the form of
arcs, if not complete circles. One of
the temples visited—about 300 yards
east of the Lundi river—is 169 feet 64
inches in circumferences, and the
foundation diverges only a few inches
from a true circle. It is of a small,
rectangular, natural-shaped blocks of
granite, laid in very regular level
courses in a finely built double wall.
The two doorways are 60 feet 8£ inches
apart. One of them forms, with the
center of tho temple, a north and
south line, so that it is supposed that
the wall between tho two doors was
intended to face tho sun at the sum
mer solstice. It is suggested that
these remarkable structures wero not
temples iu tbe ordinary sense, bnt
simply religious symbols.

Politeness is Cheap.
“Politeness is tho cheapest thing
there is for its intrinsic value.”
“Yes. That is tho reason it is used.
That is why people put ‘I am your
obedient servant’ at the cud of a let

put it at tho end of a telegram.”—In

A Cougher’s Coffers
may not be so full ns he wishes, but if ho in
wise he will neglect his coffers awhile nnd
attend to his cough. A man’s coffers may bo
so secure that no one can take them away
from him. But a little cough has taken many
a man away from his coffers. The “slight
cough ” is somewhat like tho small pebble that
lies on the mountain side, and appears utterly
insignificant. A fluttering bird, perhaps, starts
tho pebble rolling, and the rolling pebble begets
an avalanche that buries a town. Many fatal
diseases begin with a slight cough. But any
cough, taken in time, can bo cured by tho use of
Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral.
