The death of no private cillwn in
recent years bus canned profoundcr
grief than thut of Henry W. (irady,
the gifted editor of the Atlanta Coimti
tution. He stood in the very first rank
,nf JournallBnt, and was loved and hon
ored not only by the people of the
suction of country where he lived, but
throughout the republic. He seemed
to be entering on r brilliant futuro.and
was growing in favor and acquiring
wider influence as a leader. Ay his
generous inant'uess mid irrcsistibleclo-quein-c.he
won the admiration of those
even who did nol accept his political
views, Chauncy M. Depew paid him
this tribute: "Wc f irget all difiVreDoes
of opinion and remember only his
chivalry, patriotism and genius, lie
wits the leader of the New 8ont.h, and
died iu the great work of impressing
its marvelous growth and national as
pirations upon the willing ears of the
Xorth. His death at litis time r.t the
eritinul period of the removal forever of
all misundcrstandhijrs and differences
between all sections of the rcpublc is
u national calamity."

During the past week the managers
of the Oregoniun Hallway company,
mure commonly known as the Narrow
Gauge road, have been Inspecting the
line , and it Is generally believed they
havo decided to make a standard gauge
of the road and extending it to Bprliu
tield, at which place It wilt intersect
the ft. P. Oo.'s line and establish their
machine shops. This move haseaused
much stir and excitement all along the
road. We hope It is true, for It will
help this part of the country very
much to have the road put in first-class
onJer. It is reported that the company
has already bought considerable prop
erty at Springfield, which town now
promises to bo quite a city somo future

Plans for the Cumberland Fomaln
Institute, at Ilavctina Fark, are
now being drawn by Architects Towle

ished that the elegant proportions of
tho main building, as it wilt appear
when completed, can already bo seen.
The building will be two stories in
hciglit,with a large basemcnt,in which
will tto placed the heating apparatus,
The main room or chapel will seat 200
pupils, and each of the 80x40 rooms ad
joining will scat seventy-five. Sliding
doors are provided between the chapel
and the class-rooms, so that when oc
casion demands they can all be thrown
Into one room, with a seating capacity
ofoOO. On tho second lloor are nine
rooms mid a krge.dortuitory room for
sleeping purposes.
Resides the plans for the above build
ing, Towle & Wilcox have uidor way
the plans for the matron's house, which
will stand near the institute and be a
handsome and commodious building.
Professor W. W. Heck, who is at tho
head of the movement for tho estab

It Is a curious trait in poor human
nature to envy those who occupo plac
es of honor and responsibility. When
ever a man, either by his own natlvu
! talents or by the tiartialitv of his
friends, comes to the front cither as a
leader of thought or as a captain of
work lie is sure to excite the envy and
jealousy of small men. They do not
realize that their conduct more certain
ly than their words reveals the little
ness of their souls. It ought to be a con
solation to every a an that is honestly
doing his I est that he Is not to lc
Judged or rewarded by his critics.
Their carping may be annoying, but it
cannot hurt an honest man. Kvcry
man that ever did anything worthy of
praisejhas liocn about hh much blamed
for it by his co'emporaries as honored.
It is never wortlt one's while to waste !

in a very few words. I n his peculiar

Well, It takes just ono-tcn tit of a second for a
nerve to comniuuicnto with the brain, no
cording to Professor riemholz. Noiv Pro
fessor Tyndnll estimates that an electric dis
charge occurs in one hundred thousandth ol
a second, or tea thousand times more rapidly
than nerve transmission. So you see that if
it were possible a man would dio by the
process described ten thousand time before
bis nerves would have time to communicate

A Veraclons Story of a Very Strange Ac
cident. Here is a large and elegant story told in a
Ixnvery, Blount county, Ala., dispatch to
The Iiuntsvillo Mercury. You aro not
obliged to believe it unless you want to:
A (isrty of Birmingham capitalists, largely
interested in tho minerals of tho region, ami
somo prominent railroad officials were here
on a tonr of inspection, wi'jh tho view of
opening some bods of iron ore and selecting
the most practicable routo for the extension
of tho new railway that loads up this valk-y.
This, indeed, seems to havo been the true
battle grounds of the gods, with 'Pelion
piled u)on Ossa," or tho utter confusion of
tho geologists, who cauuot account for red
iron ors iu ono sidoof a mountain and brown
on ths other, with veins of coal immediately
underlying the top on both sides, so it was
determined to leave them out of tho parry
and tarry alonj a practical man familiar
with the formations peculiar to this valley
for all geological information necessary in
making an npprosimato estimate of tiw
amount of solid and loose rock to be encoun
tered on tho extension. Accordingly an old
foreman, Mr. Mcrtz, who had been in the
valley on tho now road sinco April, and had
also had largo experience in railroading in
the west, was selected. lie was an Intelli
gent, sober and Industrious man, who rcu
larly once a month sent tho preater part ol
hi earnings to his wife and children in IIa:
sas. He gave bis opinions only after the
most careful examinations, and the gentl.
men had implicit confidence as to their accu
racy.
Tho party reached a perpendicular blnfT
about Ofteca foet high, whoa Mr. Lien:
climtied down to a ledge about sis feet from
the top. and with his hammer was iuvcs:i

and immediately a tcrriQi; explosion. Thei
