the record speaks for itself With*
oot deprecating the services of

the credit of having made the
British empire of today possible
belongs undoubtedly to Alfred the

the ex:tct time of Alfrod the

the best chronologic il rese.ircSi, it
occurred in October, 901. The

POI LY'S DANDER UP.
Texas will now torn from pick
lng the tnrkey bone to pitching
crops for the next year. There's
a goodly variety of staples besides
ootton and the man who does not
observe it, is not wise.
Lonisville, Ky., is to have the
largest tobacco factory in the
world. The plant will have a
capacity of 175,000 pounds of
pla* tobacco per day, and will
employ some 3000 hsnds.
With tabacco in southeast Tex-
as, sngar beets In central and wrst
Texas, Wheat in north Texas, cat-
tle in*w#sf Tetas, 5 cent cotton Is
a calamity of our own choosing.
These are all staples, as salable
as cotton, and the profits are rea-
sonably certain.
THE CODE DUELL'i.
While the code duello iu itt-
sanguinary character is rapidly
becoming obsolete in the United
States, it appeais to be still in
high favor on the other side of the
Atlantic.
In Germany some 4000 engage
menta are yearly fought on the
field of honor with sanguinary re
«ults. Most of these engagements
rake place in the neighborhood of
follege towns. With'n the space
of twenty four hours as many as
twenty duels have occurred in the
neighborhood of Jena.
Next to Germany in allegiance
to the code duello comes France.
There are some 1200 duels fought
aanually in France, the partici
pants being mainly officers in the
French army. Italy comes next
to France with some 275 duels
annually. During the p.ist ten
years Italy has furnished 2,759
duels. Austria, Russia, Spain
and Great Britain rank next in tb«
order named. In Great Britain
the code has become almost as ob-
solete as in the United States.
Most of the duels fought on the
European continent are fought
with the sword, though p-stols
and knives are used occasionally

ANOTHER BRITISH JUBILEE
While the echoes of Qasen 7io-
toria's jubilee are reverberating
there come* from London the an
nonnfltauBt that Great Britain it-
prepating to celebrate with un-
wonted pageantry tbe completion
of the first thousand years to
elapse since the death of Alfred
the Great.
Alfred the Great is rightfully | P°P^'*r^y
looked upon as tbe founder of
British nationality. Up to th<
time of this illustrious sovereign
the kingdom of Great Britain
consisted of rode and sem-barbar-
ous tribes which occoied the is-
land without definite laws or fixed
allegiance. As soon as Alfred
came to the throne he asserted
the genins of born rulership b\
dividing the kingdom into shi~et
and grounding it upon sonnd na-
tional principles. During bis
eventful reign of thirty years he
figured not only as a king, but
also as scholar, statesman ann
soldier. He endowed and estaL-
lished institutions of learn'nt
throughout the kingdom; com
piled tbe statutes and ens
toms which remained foi
ten years the basis of th*
oommon law; inaugurated com
mercial relations with Buropeai
countries, and introduce 1 int.

teligions people. Top
lady, a Calv&nistic vicar of ar.
English parish, wrote it for the
purpose of assailing John Wes
ley's doctrine of "entire sanctifi
cation," bnt he died with
oot having tbe slightest idea
that he was destined to
immortality. The late Piinre
Consort asked to hear it in Lis
dying hour. Mr. Gladstone has
translated it into Litin, Greek
and Italian. Dr. Pusey pro-
nounced it the "most deservedly
popular hymn." The poor Ar
menians sang it while they were
being slaughtered in last* year's
fearful massacres. General Stuart,
the confederate cavalry leader,
sang it with almost his last breath
When the Londo i w^nt down in
the Bay of Biscay, January 11, j
1866, the last thing heard by - the
last boat load of the saved who
left tbe ship's side was the voices
of the passengers singing "Rock
of Ages." Mr. Stead concludes,
therefore, that uo other English
hymn "has laid so bioad and firm
a grasp on the English speaking
world."
This may be tru<», but it is real-
ty impossible to decide. The
of a hymn inav be
greater on peculiarly solemn oc-
casions, such as the sinking of a
passenger ship, and yet, taking
as occasions, it may be no more a
favorite than some others It may
well be doubted if among modern
hymns Newman's famous "Lead,
Kindly Light," is not first, and it
is certainly one of the two or
three first in the general e*te»*m
of all Christian people who np«ak
English. At the great Chicago
congress of religions, every creed
being represented, this singularly
beautiful bvmn was found to be
the one they conld all sing to-
gether. Aod there are many oth-
ers which would need to l>e con
sidered in any fair enumeration of
the hymns that have most power
fully swayed the English and
American people.
Grand old Bi3bop Ren's mom
log and evening hymns, for ex
ample, have probably been snng.
and are still being snng to the
tone of "Old Hundred" by as
many, perhaps by more, voices all
the year round than "Rook of

Inflamed at Rljlit of an Offensire Bird a
V! titer Wore on Uer Hat.
A bricl'l con pie who put in several
dr.ys recently taking in the sights of
tl>e capital enjoyed themselves im*-
U ' lisf ly until the day preceding tlicir
d.'i arture. It then occurred to the bride
that the had not called upon "dear
Fanny,'' who had been her chum dur-
ing her days at the seminary. Now,
Fanny was still enjoying single blessed-
m cs, and this may have had something
to do with the anxiety of the bride to
sill upon her maiden chum. George de-
murred feebly, but at last consented to
pay a formal call. The bride dressed
herself in a fetching gown and placed
upon her saucy head a Parisian dream
in the way of a hat. The hat was one
of those indescribable creations of the
milliner's art, a mass of flowers with a
bird or two partially concealed in the
foliage, so to speak.
The pair went gayly forth and in a
hotel coupe were soon at the door of
Fanny's residence. Their cards were
taken and they were ushered into the
drawing room. While awaiting the
coming of her friend the bride's atten-
tion was attracted to a large cage con-
taining a splendid parrot. She chirruped
cooingly to the imprisoned bird and
wished she might take him out of his
cage and caress him. George remarked
that he looked tame enough and sug-
gested the opening of the door of the
cage. Suiting action to the word, he
opened the door and the released bird
calmly walked forth and strutted
about, blinking his beady eyes know-
ingly. The bride, with' usual calls of
"Poll, pretty Poll!" coaxed the bird to-
ward her, and poll proceeded to climb
up the rounds of the chair upon which
the lady was sitting and perclicd herself
upon the arm of the chair. Tho parrot
uttered guttural cries of "Polly, Polly,"
this word seemingly comprising her en-
tire vocabulary.
The bird accepted the caresses, and
apparently all was serene, but without
an instant's warning she uttered a
scream of rage and flew at the lady's
headgear, alighting fairly thereon, and
then for a few minutes the air was fill-
ed with flying feathers and bits of flow-
ers, while the atmosphere was fractured
by screams from the bride and discord-
ant cries from the parrot George at-
tempted to come to the rescue and had
his fare badly scratched foj his pains
Tho lady finally shook the bird loose
from tho flower garden she was wear-
ing upon her hat and made one wild
dash for tho front door, followed close-
ly by the bridegroom Once on the pave-
ment, they became somewhat composed
and determined to return to their hotel
to repair damages They did not tarry
long enough to see "dear Fanny. "
The sudden wrath of the bird was
evidently caused, George thought upon
reflection during calmer moments, by
tho fact that amid the flowers in his
wife's hat there nestled a stuffed Caro-
line parrakeet, which the parrot took
to be a real live rival and proceeded
forthwith to demolish. The bride is
now a thorough convert to the teach
in^s of tho Audubon society.—Was'

Hririt Afraid of a Bomb.
By way of illustrating tbe nervous-
ness which tho recent explosions have
revived here, a queer adventure which
has just b fallen the heirs of a house
owner niav^Jje mentioned. They had
met at the nwelling of their departed
tincle for the purpose of drawing up an
inventory of his effects in company
wit4i a lawyer and had nearly completed
their task when one of them pulled out
of a cupboard a metal box, which wa9
laid ou the table and which the man of
business was about to open, when one of
his nieces cried out in horror: "Don't
toucl. ;l! Leak, that is a fuso." Sure
enough, there was a little something
popping out of the cover. "It is a
bomb!" exclaimed the panio stricken
heirs in chorus, and then they proceed-
ed to remark that their deceased rela-
tive hud been a moody, silent and re-
served sort of individual, and thence
they inferred that he mipht possibly
have been an anarchist. Two of the
nephews bad had put on their hats and
were ou the point of rushing off to the
offire cf the nearest police commissary,
when the lawyer, who bad been quietly
inspecting the box, calmly suggested
that it might simply contain some pre-
served fruit This theory somewhat re-
assured tbe men, but the ladies would
have their way. The commissary w»8
sent for, and tbe mysterious box was
soon on itaway to the municipal labora-
tory. It was found to contain a pine-
apple, the stalk of which had been mis-
taken for a fuse. So the good old oncle,
who had been so ungratefully maligned,
bad not been an anarchist after all.—

Before the war for American inde-
pendence the American Episcopalians,
who were connected with the English
church, were never Buffered to have a
bishop among them, but remained un-
der the jurisdiction of the bishop of
London. The rite of confirmation wal
unknown, and every candidate for or-
dination was obliged to travel to Eng-
land. Out of 62 candidates who cama
from America for ordination in 1767 10
died on the voyage. At length, after
the United States had been declared in-
dependent, Dr. Seabury was ordained
bishop of Connecticut by the primuJ
and bishops of Scotland, the prelates of
the English church having refused to
consecrate him.—London News.

A Counter Movement to One Which It Wal
Believed Southern Sympathiser* Had on
Foot—Confidential Diaclotares Made by
the Old- TobocoonUt.
"During the first year of the war," a
grizzled colonel remarked, while recall-
ing incidents of the great rebellion,
business connected with the recruiting
and equipping of volunteers in Pennsyl-
vania took me frequently to Washing-
ton, and, as the hotels in that city soon
became crowded and uncomfortable, I
made it a custom to stop at Barnum's,
in Baltimore, remain overnight thera
and run over to the capital early in the
morning, and thus I passed many
nights during 1861 in tbe famous old
hotel of the Monumental City. Near it
was a large tobacconist's shop, where I
discovered a superior grade of cigara
was sold, and of this shop I became a
regular customer. Ordinarily I was
served by a young salesman, but I fre-
quently saw in the shop an old gentle-
man who, I presumed, was the proprie-
tor. One day I was rather surprised by
the old gentleman's stepping forward
to wait on me himself. After I wad
served he said:
" 'If you are not in a hurry, sir,
would be pleased to hive you walk into
my private office and have a smoke.'
"I readily assented, and he led tha
way to a room at the rear of the store,
separated from it by a glass partition,
plainly but comfortably furnished, and
having the appearance of long and ha-
bitual use. Pushing toward me a larga
split bottomed rocker, my host remark-
ed:
" 'Here, for many years, I have been
aocustomed to receive my friends, ol
whom I had many, but I am sorry to
say that now the number is sadly di-
minished. '
" 'Why so?' I asked.
" 'Because of differences in opinion,'
he replied. 'I need not remind you oi
the oondition the whole country is in,
or tell you how completely men vary iu
their ideas of duty. Nowhere is that va
rianoe greater than here in Baltimore,
and nowhere is there greater danger of
its leading to a calamity.'
xc
bl
sentiment here, and that months ago it
exhibited itself openly, leading to blood
shed on the streets, but I thought all
that had passed away.'
" 'By no means,' he replied. 'The
rebel sentiment in Baltimore is as in
tense and bitter today as it ever waa
The apparent quiet is only on the sur-
face. You are in the service of tha
Union, and it may be as well for you to
be informed exactly what the situation
here ia'
'' ' Three-fourths of the people of Bal
timore are intensely southern in their
feelings and prejudices. All the slave
holders are so, and they are the leading
citizens. Following them is the class
which always toadies to what is consid
ered the aristocracy, and after these
oomes a large disorderly element known
as the plug uglies, who are willing and
ready to do anything that looks like re-
sistance to constituted authority. Now,
I know beyoiid doubt that the leading
secessionists here are thoroughly organ-
ized and are determined, the first favor-
able opportunity that offers, to declare
openly for the new Confederacy and car-
ry Baltimore certainly, and Maryland
if possible, out of the Union.'
" 'Sow is all this to be done?' I in-
quired. .
" 'Their plan is this: They know
every man upon whom they can rely,
and their strength is well understood
They have clubs organized, which meet
regularly. The leaders have control of
plenty of money, and supplies of arms
are available. Regular communication
is had with the Confederate leaders in
Virginia, and thev are waiting only for
a definite, tangible opportunity to strike.
Such an opportunity would come if the
Confederate army made an advance to-
ward Washington—a thing they expect
should the Union army meet with
another serious reverse in the east. If
Beauregard had pursued McDowell after
the battle of Bull Run, they would
have risen then, and many were tho
curses heaped upon him for his failure,
as they expressed it, to follow up his
victory.'
"'What,' I asked, 'do you Union
men propose to do if the movement you
anticipate is made?'
"'Burn the city,'he replied. 'Just
as certainly as the Russians burned
Moscow will we burn Baltimore if the
rebels here take it out of the Union.'
'' ' How can you, so few comparative-
ly in numbers, do this?'
" 'Well, sir, we, too, are organized
and for this one purpose. In every part
of the city preparations have been made,
and when the time comes 100 or more
fires will be started at onca Do you
know what this is?' he asked, taking
from a closet a ball of tow, cotton, or
oakum about the size of a large cocoa-
nut. 'It is a fire ball, thoroughly satu-
rated with turpentine. Plenty of these
are ready, and at an understood signal
they will be lighted and thrown where
they will certainly prove effective. Oh,
we know well enough that we cannot
resist the organized rebels, but you can
rely upon it that only the ruins of Bal-
timore will ever become a part of the
slaveholding Confederacy.'
"I never saw my old Union loving
tobacconist after that evening, for not
long afterward I was sent to the army
in the southwest and remained there
until the end of the war. We all know
that Baltimore remained in the Union
and was not burned, but we know, too,
that the Confederate army never made
a serious advance on Washington, so
that the opportunity waited for by the
rebels in the Monumental City never
came. How much truth, if any, there
was in the old man's story must remain
unknown I only tell the tale as it was
told to me. "—New York Sun.
