SALT M-re OO (MB. AtMn PMIFET IV THE CITIZEN He Snored On. "I can only recall one experience in which I may be said to have faced death," said T. B. Bryan. "That was daring a voyage across the Atlantic several years aeo. We had been oat two or three days and had been having some pretty rough weather. It culminated one night in a terific storm. The waves rose mountain high and our ship was tossed about like a cork. A portion of the upper deck was carried away and some of the saloon parti" tions were stove in. The noise made by the waves as they dashed against the nides | of the vessel sounded like the booming of cannon, and many of the passengers crouched in their cabins waiting in mortal terror and expecting every moment to feel the ship sinking. I was confined to my cabin by illness, but as I had been as sured by the captain that there was no danger I did not share the fear of my fel low passengers. However, had the storm continued in its fury, or had the boat been less staunch, we should in all probability have been food for fishes, or have had to rely on the meagre support of the small boats. A fellow passenger evidently had sublime faith in the captain's ability to pull her through, or was exceeding indif ferent to his fate. In the midst of the up roar caused by the dashing waves the breaking of timbers and the outcries of the passengers, be lay peacefully in bis cabin sound asleep. He was an inveterate snorer, and during the lulls the musio of his nasal organ could be heard with reas suring regularity. His wife rushed in the cabin crying: "Lucien, 0 Lucien, the ves sel is sinking!'' "Lucien turned over, partially awoke and mtumured: "Sinking, are wet (Snore.) Well, let her (snore) sink. What are you (snore) going to do (snore) about itt" "His wife said afterward* that his view of the situation reassured her more than anything else could have done " An Awful Warning. Alabama wonld seem to be a danger ous place for young men with kissing pro clivities, and the following press dispatch, dated Birmingham, September 3, wi'l be a warning to the young folks down there either to refrain from kissing or be careful not to tell about it: Near Newsito, Tallapoosa county, this morning, James Ashley and his son, Rob ert, went into a fipld where Kobert Cross, a young farmer was harvesting. Kobert Ashley held Cross while the old man tired seven bullets into his body. Ashley fired as long as Cross breathed, remarking. "I'm going to shoot as long as there is breath in the damned rascal's body." Cross went to church with Ashley's daughter and kissed her. She reported the matter to her father and the murder resulted. A posse is in pursuit of the Ashleys, and if captured it is likely they will be lynched. But the fact that the good neighbors are alter the Ashley's with a view to hang ing them to the first tree shows that the people of Alabama are not altogether depraved. Not a bafe Juryman, "I should like to be excused, yonr hon or," said a man who had been summoned on the jury. ""What for J" "I owe a man $lO and wish to hunt him up and pay it." "Do you mean to tell the Court that y»u would hunt up a man to pay a bill instead of waiting for him to hunt you upt" "Yes, your honor." "You are excused. I don't want any man on the jury that will lie like that." —Livery stable keepers should alw£ keep Arnica ove-uainceet *uir. T. A. HLU;UM, M. a. UI IFMTIITL. *. R. The Hot Summer of 1854. A correspondent thus describes the summer of 1554, long known as the "hot | summer." Forty years ago the sun shone as it j has done this summer. For months the i heavens were as brass. A great round bill cf fire rose in the east every morn ng and made everything glitter from twelve to fourteen hours. The roads were inches 1 deep in dust; the stubble fields and pas ture fields, and orchards and gardens, and even the wild woods were dust. Springs dried up, hogs died, sheep got "scales," j cow's milk tasted of ragweed, brooks and creeks wero nothing but gravel beds, birds quit singing, and all the landscape day and night was tilled with a melancholly stillness, excepting only the whirl of grass hopper wings and the shrill, never-ending chirp of the universal crickets. Out over Pittsburg, forty miles away, hung a per petual cloud, and under that cloud was the cholera. Hundreds died of it. Coun try people kept away from the city. The tew that did go there crossed the river on sand bars. We were not allowed to eat anything green for tear of cholera. To eat apples or plums of peaches was a capital crime. Cucumbers were more poisonous than strychnine. A profane peddler who blasphemously insisted on eating cucum bers we expected to see drop dead, and when he didn't we concluded he was a devil. There was no travel on the public roads save that of the moping, worn-out doctors who went to and fro to treat dy sentery cases. It was an "awe"' fall time. It did not rain from the first of Jone to the last of October Titles are Silly. We have several times called atten tion to the fact that to use the prefix "Mister" as a title, is absurd. It is |.iii right to distinguish Mr. Jones from Mrs. Jones in that way, for then it denotes sex. But as a title it is ridiculous. Mr. John Brown. In what does the title "Mr." distinguish this particular John Brown from any other John Brown? Besides titles ire un-American and silly. They have no other effect than to be little. If a man doesn't amount to anything you cannot improve him by giving him a title and if he does amount to something, be doesn't need it. The Chicago Post speak ing on this subject, says: "We laugh a good deal at parvenu mothers who allude to their daughters as Miss Lulu aud Miss Jenny, but I, for my part, don't see why it is any worse than for women who are supposed to have been trained better to speak of their own husbands as "Mr. Allen'' and "Mr. Brooks." The Lord be praised that wo have 110 titles over here to tack on, for we should bo "sirring" and "honorabling" and "marquissing and "ladying" our own brothers and sisters, as well as husbands and wives. A Christian name was made to be spoken and called by, and is not at all too fine to be used every day. If your wife's name is Annie, it will not hurt her a bit, nor derogate your dignity, to speak of her by that gentle cognomen; and "my wife" to utter strangers, who wouldn't know whom you moant by Annie, is always appropri ate. —The blood is the source of health Keep it pure by taking Hoods Sarsaparil la.
