A Curious Instance of the Revelations

matter how different th writing of
expert operators may b, there is a
similarity that can always be dis-
by a fellow manipulator
of the keys. It seems that are
certain muscles of the hand capable
of quicker motion than the others.
A telegrapher who is compelled to
take down thirty to words a
minute develops these muscles
makes them do most of the work.
So the writing of expert operators
has a peculiar resemblance, which Is
particularly noticeable to persons
who follow the business. A tel-
is compelled to adopt a
different style of writing from that
usually taught in schools. In the
latter beauty is what is most de-
sired; in the case of the telegrapher,
he must have speed, and great
speed, too, or he will be thrown
aside. The other day a fellow
operator myself saw a postal
card. I had only glanced at it when I
remarked that it was tbs writing of
a man who had once been a telegraph
operator. My companion agreed,
and further suggested that he had
received his education n a railroad
office, inasmuch as he dated his postal
In the right-hand corner, whereas a
commercial operator always writes
the date In the left-hand corner, as
the blanks are mode In that form.
Yes, and he has been a bookkeeper;
for, although the figures in the table
given were written hastily, they
were written on perfect lines, added
my friend. This all came from our
noticing the class distinction In the
writing of a telegrapher. As there
was no name signed to the postal, it
merely giving a list of shipments,
we were anxious to find out whether
our judgment correct. We
asked the man who received It who
had written it. He gave the name

ON A
A Young Couple's Experiences on the
Jersey Coast.
The experiences were those of a
young girl In this city. Her first
name is Madge. Her father has a
summer cottage on the coast.
Last August James a
worthy young man a friend of
Madge's brother, came from his
home and business at New Orleans
to spend two weeks at the cottage.
It was the night before he was to
depart that he and Madge strolled
down the beach after supper. The
large family in the cottage grew an-
angry and sleepy in turns as
the hours struck and the two failed
to return. Finally everybody went
to bed.
Meantime Mr. had de-
his passion for Madge reg-
terms, and they sat blissful-
together on a big log, the waves
lapping softly almost at their feet.
The damp fog rolling the sea
finally awoke them to the harrowing
fact that it was late.
Then they hurried back to the dark
and silent house.
Jim went home tho next morning
and Madge took a boo and went
and sat on the big log all day. She
sat there the next day, also, with the
book, and the day after that. She
was badly sunburned, and the sun
didn't become her; but, then, who
was there to look nice for, anyway
A big storm arose, and disaster
came. The log was swept away by
the rolling waves. Madge was in-
consolable. Then a miracle inter-
In behalf of true love. The
winds and waters brought back the
log, and Madge found it o i the beach.
She promptly hired a team of
and had the precious tree hauled up
far beyond all wandering tides and
dashing seas.
Then Jim came again. He had the
log sawed in two. One-half he sent
to New Orleans, and cheerfully paid
thirty-one dollars and cents In
express charges. He has It in his

The mayor of a small village in

A few weeks ago two physicians

But the Mississippian the Value
of Two Pairs of Aces.
When Gov. Lowrey of Mississippi
was in this city, some time ago, says
the Washington Post, he very
took in a few friends with whom
he one evening in a friendly
game of draw. The governor and a
party of ladies and gentlemen were
being entertained at an evening tea,
and, after the menu had been dis-
cussed, the gentlemen withdrew to
the where cards and chips
were soon produced and In use.
Gov. Lowrey said he knew nothing
about the game, so, while his friends
tried their luck, the southern exec-
remained in the parlor and en-
the ladies. Later in the
evening the governor drifted to the
poker-room and was prevailed upon
to play the hand of one of the gen-
for a few minutes. As soon
as the governor sat down he re-
minded his friends again that he
knew nothing about the game.
There was a jackpot on the table
which had gone around several times.
Hands were dealt, the pot was
opened and play passed around to
the governor. Ho didn't seem to
know whether to pass or not. He
studied his hand for several minutes,
then, showing a card, asked the man
next to him whether it was a king
or a jack.
a king, replied
the gentleman.
Then the governor produced a
queen and take it that
this is a queen. Am I He
was informed that he was, and then
very deliberately putting up his
money he called for one card.
The gentleman who had opened
the pot had three nines and failed to
better his hand on the draw. He
thought he hod a lead-pipe cinch on
the pot and sized up the governor as
having two and queens.
He thought the governor had found
cards like the king and queen he
had shown and was drawing for a
full.
He was somewhat taken back
when the governor raised the bet,
and fearing that the governor did
not know that two pair were not
very good, he called his attention to
the fact.

The governor kept raising until
finally the gentleman with the three
nines weakened and called. Then
the governor proudly laid down four
aces, and everybody yelled. He. had
held three aces all the time, flashed
his king and queen for a bluff, then
drew one card and caught another
ace. The gentleman who held three
nines he will never again sit in
a game with a man who knows
about it.
A Tramp Who Succeeded in taming
His Free Passage.
The other morning when the
freight train from the east arrived
a man emerged from a car loaded
with long-horned steers, says the
Reno Gazette, He said that
when endeavoring to secure free pas-
sage on the cattle train leaving Win-
the night before, one of the
railroad boys said he would let him
into a cattle car where he could ride
as long as he wanted to keep com-
with the steers. To the
prise of the railroad man the offer
was accepted and the tramp jumped
In. He says fie rode the greater
part of the one hundred and seventy-
live miles between and

when he got cold or tired of

he found it quite warm comfort-
able, and would have continued on
his journey westward had it not been
for hunger and the absence of any

to rustle a little grub.

New irons, which are heated to a

A NEW GUN.
Light Firing Rounds

The military authorities here are
still extremely reticent concerning
the mechanism of the new Australian
or quick-firing
machine gun; but I learn that the
firing trials made at the Vienna

highly satisfactory. The
has been adopted by tho service and
fully one hundred pieces are now
ready for distribution. The gun Is
not intended for use in the field, as
In the case of the English Maxim and

It is only half the weight of the
Maxim, and the average rate of dis-
charge is about the
hundred rounds per minute, with a
maximum of three hundred

is eight millimeters, being similar to
that of the repeating
rifle now in use In the

continuous rounds can be fired be-

by means of an ordinary trigger with

But the principal point of Inter-

saving of ammunition thereby Is

And now, gentlemen, the Court

crimes, common to our courts.
It has, however, reserved for the

States of the Union ; a crime
which, unless checked, will de-
the love of law and beget
lawless acts. The Court
refers to lynch law.
If there be any danger
more imminent and threatening
to the peace of the State than an-
other, it is the growing

WASHINGTON LETTER.
our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, D. C, March
President Cleveland has de-
voted the greater part of this
week, night and day. in listening
attentively to arguments for and
the Bland coinage bill,
though it is known that he has
long been a close student of the
question involved- It is because
of tho differences opinion
among Democrats on the matter
that be has been anxious to hear
ail that both sides have to say.
Up to last night he had not in-
what disposition he would
make of the bill. view of tho
record of the President it is a
waste of space to say that there is
absolutely no foundation for the
stories sent out from Washington
making him a to a bargain
with the silver men in Congress.
They are simply sensational libels
upon the President as well as
upon the silver men. No man
ever occupied the White House
who was clearer of bargaining,
either for personal or political
gain, than is Grover Cleveland,
and while his decision must
necessarily be against the wishes
of many good Democrats, it can
be feet down in advance that it
will be the result of his honest
convictions, and there is little
doubt that it will be so accepted
by the Democratic party at large-
Since the tariff bill was report
ed to the Senate the Republicans
have been making and
concerted attempts to make it
pear that there is formidable
Democratic opposition to tho
in the That the bill will
be changed before it passes tho
Senate is altogether probable,
inasmuch as it will produce, in its
present form, according to the
latest estimates;, something like
more than will be re-
quired, and it is the policy of the
Democrats only to levy sufficient
taxes to raise the money
to run the government.
Democratic Senators who favor
changes looking towards a
of the revenue to the amount
required will state their reasons
and risk their Democratic col-
leagues for their votes to make
them, but it is not believed that
any of them will seek Republican
votes to get those changes, or
will vote against the bill should
the changes desired not be made-
The four appropriation bills
the District of Columbia, the
general pension, the fortification
and the
passed by the House, represent a
net reduction of from
the total amount carried by the
same bills for the current fiscal
year. This shows that chairman
Sayers and his Democratic col-
leagues on the House
committee are carrying out
Democratic ideas of economy in
public expenditures.
Mr. J. W. who pretends to
think that he has a claim of the
seat now filled in the Senate by
Hon. John Martin, of is
in Washington, he says for the
purpose of contesting Senator
Martin's right to the seat, but
reality merely to get a little
which he hopes to be able
to turn to account in Kansas in
the near future.
Hon. Daniel who was
collector of customs at New York
city during the Cleveland ad-
ministration, and who has for
many years been a recognized
authority on the politics of his
State, is in Washington. He
says of is no
sort of doubt in my mind that
New York is a Democratic State.
Occasional losses are due to local
but do not affect the party
as a whole. The New York De-
too, stands squarely for
tariff reform- There is no back-
down with us on that issue.
The thing now for Congress
to do is to pass the tariff bill at
the earliest practical date. With
that out of the way, so that trade
may resume its normal condition,
there is no reason to be
The successful trial of the
teen-inch canon made at the gun
shop of the Washington Navy
Yard, which was made this week,
at the proving grounds a few
miles down the Potomac river,
marks an epoch in the history of
tine gun making in United
States, besides establishing the
wisdom of the government
its own guns. Secretary Her-
and a distinguished party
numbering several hundred were
present at the trial. Experts pro-
it one of the finest guns
ever made.
Representative is
now having his inning in the sen-
trial of Miss
suit against for breach of
promise of marriage. He denies
as to the main charges against
him, and if the evidence to be
submitted by him sustains his
denial, as his friends believe it
will, he may succeed in getting a
verdict, notwithstanding the
testimony of the
Senator of Georgia, is
dangerously ill. He was this
week stricken with and
his physicians have little hope of
his recovery.
Army is regarded in
Washington as a sort of All Fools
day hoax pulled before it was
ripe, and nobody has the remotest
idea of making any preparation
for its reception, for the very
reason that no one believes it
will ever come here in any such
numbers as its originator now
about so glibly.
HE LIKES GREENVILLE.
Mr. J. C. Caddell, who recently
visited Greenville in the interest
of the Recorder, writes
the following to his paper about
some of our people
is just coming
to feel at home in Greenville. The
brethren there are delighted with
him as a preacher and pastor.
The children, on the streets and
in the homos seem to know him
and love him. His congregations
are large, and the interest all
of the work seems to be growing.
Bro. has or two
preaching places the country,
and ho thinks there is a bright
prospect for the work this part
of the Tar River Association. I
am on the track of Bro. John
Mitchell. He has just gone
through this section in the inter-
est of the Board of Education.
The people here are glad he cam.-,
fool more in his work
than they did before they know
him.

Bro. has been a

he was born to govern boys. He
is active his church, and most
helpful to his pastor, and has lost
none of his love for his alma
mater. Wake Forest will receive
some bright and promising boys
from this school.
L A. Sugg, who has been
in bad health for several years, is
well again. Ho will be
by many of the brethren in
the State as the brother who did
so much for tho erection of the

restoration to health, and hope
he may use now more than ever

THE POPULIST A PRODUCT OF
THE TIMES.
The New York Journal of Com-
give the following
or description of the
list
The Populist is a product of
the times. He is a real product,
not the off-spring of a pure whim,
and is perhaps as little likely to
be laughed off the stage as he is
disposed to be off it-
He is an agricultural product;
inasmuch as he is born of farm-
grievances. He is also an
industrial product; for he is a by-
result of a which has sin-
out certain industries for
paternal care whilst leaving farm-
to bear the burdens without
compensation. He is, at the
same time, a plutocratic product;
having been indoctrinated into
the idea that money, not property
is wealth, and that the less money
real wealth the better
is it. He is a political product;
in the sense that, having con-
that neither of the historic
parties are to be entrusted with
the care of his interests, he thinks
it necessary to have a new party.
He is a socialistic product; for,
having discovered that the Slate
manages what it undertakes very
indifferently, he therefore con-
that the true remedy is to
have it do everything. He is also
a railroad product, for, living on
the outermost limits of
he discovers that he has
to pay more for getting his pro-
ducts to market than
and therefore must have
relief either by the railroads
carrying at a loss, or by the
government becoming the owner
of them and fixing rates on the
principle of sectional conciliation
Still, as have said, the Pop-
is a genuine product of the
times; whatever
may be thought of his strangely
up, his
must be held responsible
for his existence and his faults.

A Smart a Democrat.
One of the smartest little boys

Reflector office Saturday. His
name is J- Hodges,
son of Mr. T. R. Hodges, of Beau-
fort county. only five years
old and has wonderful retentive
powers of mind for a boy so young.
He showed a perfect familiarity
with the names of the President,
Governor of our State, the largest
cities in the United States and
the world, and give him the name
of any prominent town in North
Carolina and instantly he would
tell what county it is in. After
conversing with the boy a while
his father turned to us and asked

A Meeting Closed.
During the past week Mr.
sermons were just
as strong, clear and powerful
as those reported in our last is

the whole counsel of
and spared sin in no particular.
He preached twice each day and
at nearly every service there were
a few professions and some re-
quests for prayer. He said that
the devil seemed to have a strong-
hold on Greenville than any
town he had visited. Really it-
did seem that the devil had com-
his forces to bring all the
resistance possible to bear on the
progress of the work. But Mr.
continued to preach
with all his and together
with the handful of Christians
who were helping him prayed
constantly to God for an outpour-
of the Holy Spirit. Friday
night the ice was broken. On
this occasion ho preached one of
the best sermons of the whole

Christians wore aroused to

deep conviction that brought
them to repentance. Prior to
that night there had hardly
been more than twenty

vice closed fully as many others
were happy through their
acceptance of the Savior. Among
these profession were a number
who had been the acknowledged
leaders of sin in the community.
Right there lost his footing
and the victory was for Christ.
As soon as these found Jesus
they immediately after their
friends and companions and
through them others wore brought
to the fold. Every service
after this there more
and additional requests for
prayer.
Sunday services were
held, the extra being at
o'clock in the afternoon. No
vices were held the Baptist
church that day, both
and laboring
together in the meeting. At the
close of the morning service near-
all the present wont
forward and gave the preacher
their hand as a pledge of
to God, and many
promised to have the family alter
in their homes. Sunday night
there were many more professions.
At the Monday morning
several of the converts
arose and testified to what Jesus
had done for them. It was a
joyous meeting.
Monday night the series of
meetings closed. While every-
body regretted that Mr. School-
field was to leave, he prayed so
earnestly for the guidance of the
Holy Spirit that all were con-
strained to believe that God
him in making the decision.
His closing sermon was upon
of conversion and every
Christian in the house was en-
by his words. He asked
that all those present who had
made any profession during the
series of meetings and felt that
they had any of these evidences
of conversion, come forward

greatest revival Greenville has
ever had.
Mr. then made a
very talk to the con-

duties, and also spoke some ten-
words to those who were in-
in their souls salvation
yet were resisting the influences
calling them to repentance. Rev.
G- F- Smith, pastor of the

pastor of the Baptist
church, made a few remarks ox

congregation joined him in prayer
and he lifted his in

helped him do here. He mention-

town and asked Divine blessing
upon the work committed to their

It was just about church time, and
the gambler, moved by some

found much to interest He
had a dim recollection of having been
to church years and years before, but
the remembrance was very faint in-

The music pleased him, and had
the preacher been a good talker and
chosen a theme somewhere up with
the times there is no telling what
the result might have been in regard
to this rather black sheep who had
strayed so far from the fold.
As it was, the sermon was rather
dull and the gambler soon let his

of an entirely Worldly character. It
was during this fit of abstraction
that the ushers passed the
plates.
Down the aisle whore the stranger
sat came one of them, and as ho
drew near the gambler noticed that
the people were placing coins of
various denominations upon the
plate. Fishing a silver dollar out of
his pocket he carefully tossed it in
with the rest and resumed his
musing.
In all probability ho would never
have thought of it again had he not
noticed the usher walking back up

Richard Hoops, of Missouri, the Old-
est Man of the Country.
One of the oldest, if not tho very
oldest, men in America lives in a
little shanty on the banks of tho
river at City, Mo., ac-
cording to the Cincinnati
Gazette. Ho is a and his
name is Richard Hoops.
According to the statements of
Hoops, which arc well supported by
accessible records, he was born in
Chatham county, N. C, December
1770, and thus has completed his
1231 year.
Born a slave he was taken to
Missouri by his owner, John P.
Harden, while a mere boy. A few
years later he was sold to the, man
whose name be now bears, and lived
with him near Vienna,
until the emancipation of the
slaves. Since that time he has lived
at Westphalia, but for the last
years has made his home at
City.
Hoops is remarkably well pro-
served, and lives alone in his shanty.
He fishes a great deal for the big
catfish that frequent tho waters of
the and is never happier than
when he can catch a big one and
makes soup of its head.
He is still able to do some work,
and it was only a few years since
that he contracted with a farmer in
the vicinity of his home to remove
tho stumps and roots off a newly-
cleared tract of land. He fulfilled
his contract, doing all the work him-
self.
His mind is still clear on many of
the events that happened toward
the close of the last century, and he
recalls with great pride that he once
held the horse of Gen. Greene, of
revolutionary fame.
In appearance Hoops resembles a
mummy; his skin looks like parch-
and ho is toothless and hair-
less, but his step is remarkably firm,
and his eyes bright and clear.
He has the record of his birth,
and there is but little doubt that ho
is the oldest in the
