Gov. Lowry denounces as slanderous such charges as reflect upon the manner of the elections held m Mississippi since 1881. All kinds of industries show au increase, especially that of stock raising. ACRUSS THE OLD WORLD. Two New Yorkers to Make the Peril- ous Journey on Horseback. From the New York Sun. Prof. E. H. Platt, the well-known horseman of the West End riding academy, Harlem, who, with Millionaire John Allen, the proprietor o the Hotel Hamilton, 126th street and 8th avenue, last year rode across the American continent, has in contemplation another and even greater equestrian journey. Mr. Allen and himself, accompanied, possibly, by another rider, expect to start on this new trip probably in March or April next. They will ship their horses direct to Great Britain. Mr. Allen's horse, Willie by name, is a beautiful bay, while Mr. Platt’s “Chum” isa handsome black, Willie is six years old, while Chum is seven, Mounting their steeds across the big pond, the travelers intend to ride through a land, Treland, France, Germany and Russia, thence into Siberia and across China and a portion of Japan, [tis expected that the entire trip will take in the neighborhood of two and a half ars and that the cost will be something like | $25,000. ‘Lhe great trip across the American continent which was made by Mr, Allen and Prof. Platt last year began on May 14, 1889. On that date the two horsemen left the West End academy in West 125th street. It was Septem- ber 21 when they reached San Francisco, oer had spent in the saddle 11% days iu all, the bai- ance of the time consumed during ‘the trip representing stops made at Salt Lake City, Den- ver and various other western towns. In the far west they changed their eastern riding cos- tumes for regulation cow-boy suits, aud each had bis six-shooter and bowie. Their adven- tures during their tong trip were both numer- ous and exciting. The cost of the trip was about $7.000. Chum and Willie were the horses used by the two transcontinental riders. The total mileage of the journey in an air line was 8,502 miles, WHY DON’T THEY DO IT? Because They Wil! Not, and That Set- tles It. e From the Chicago Herald. Why is it that 8 woman can't go intoa store and buy what she wanis off-hand without ex- amining the entire stock in several places? Frank Bowers of the Brower house, New York city. asks this question. He says the same state of affairs exists here as in the east, and he fails to understand why a woman cannot do like a man—go into the first place she comes to, ack for what she wants, pay for it and get out, The other afternoon, he suys, he was in a leading hatter’s place, having his silk hat half-soled and heeled while he waited,when in came a woman, who asked to be shown a silk hat. One was pro- duced, “Let me see something else, please,” said the lady. Now this firm has only about one shape for each season, but the obliging clerk brought down a couple of dozen hats, No one but an expert could see any differ- ence in them, but the lady examined oue critically. While she was thus engaged aman waiked in and said to another clerk: alk . please—small 7."" The required size was produced, the man put it on, glanced in the mirror and reached for his money. “I think a hat witha brim about a quarter of an inch wider would suit your face better, sir,” said the clerk, and he handed one out, ‘“ibst’s better,” said the man, as he tried it on and looked in the glass, Then he threw down a bill, gave his address, took his change and walked ‘out, He had been in the place but five minutes, Mean- time the ady kept up her inspection. Before she gave her decision six men had come in and bought hats, Her decision was that she would call again, No wonder Bowers cannot under- stand it. ——-- +0 Some Curious Chinese Slang. From the Boston Herald. Some of the ordinary expressions of the Chi- nese are very sarcastic and characteristic. A biustering harmless fellow they cull a “paper tiger.” When a man values himself overmuch they compare him to “‘a rat falling into a scale and weighing iwelf.” Overdoing a thing they call ‘a hunchback making a bow.” A spend- thrift they compare to a rocket which goes off atonce, Those who expend their charity on remote objects, but negiect their family, are said “to hang a lantern on 4 r6pe, which 1 seen afar but gives no light below.’ How to See the Wind. From the 8t. Louis Kepublic, Take a polished motal surface of two feet or more, with a straight edge; a large hand saw will answer the purpose. Takes windy day for the experiment, whether hot or cold, clear or cloudy; only let it not be in murky, rainy weather. Hold your metalic surface at right angles to the direction of the wind—i, e., if the wind is sorth bold your surface east and west, ding it vertical incline it degrees to the edge in curves, Make your care! ‘end you will hardly ever fail in the t; the results are even better if the sun is obscured, ses aa inlane even riding | Wheeler was also arrested, and while the law- yers were figuring to get some money out of him they let Ella out on $250 bail. She promptly skipped. A few weeks azo she was arrested in Chicago, where she, bud again begun the bucket-shop business under the name of Mrs. F. Worth, She was brought back on an indictment charg- ing ber with forgery and was placed in j She occupied a room with Mrs. Jared Fairman, the w a aecaged of abduction, Elia behaved herself and got the good will of the turnkey. On Monday night she was let out of her cell for an airing in the corridor. About 9 o'clock the turnkey supposed he heard her re-enter her cell, aud he went up and locked her door with- out making an examination, It is inferred that she was in hiding in the corridor, made her way to the basement and went out through the | trout door of the sheriff's residence, which was found unlocked, She was not missed until 1 o'clock Tuesday, when telegrams were sent in all directions and a reward of $200 was offered, but no ciue has yet been obtained, It is a very Singwar case and the opinion is quite general | that she had outside aid and hes secured astart which will preciude ber capture. She is five feet three inches in height, of stout build, red- huired, about chirty years old and one of the Oiliest talkers that ever traveled. = ae = A Father’s Sad Plight.

War Possible #u Europe. Emperor Francis Joseph, speuking at a court dinuer last night, said that the commercial | situation in Europe causes much more anxiety | than dovs the politic, and thas the expiration ot the Frankfort commercial treaty in 1892 will unquestionably lead to a tar:ff war. To counteract this effect, and, if possible, to an- Heipate it with a saving provicion, Austra al- ready contempiates so modifying its protection policy as to adopt partial free trade in union with Germany, soo Mrs. Southworth Burted.

At the continuation of the republican league hearing in New York yesterday before the | referee Mr. Foster denied having written the | “Fry the Fat" circular, He said it was Gen, Dudley that suggested the popular subscrip- | tion plan for the raising of funds. Along with Mr. Daggett and Mr. Humphreys he attended a meeting at the Everett house, where it was suggested that he, Foster, would be the best to go before the national committee to Lave funds Sppeope d for the league, He went and the: allotied 000, which was received tirongh Mr. Daggett.

Nearly ali of them are in rows, the lougest one containing seventeen tracks, The tracks are from 6 to 8 inches in length, aud were probably made by a reptile, that it it had front feet, seldom used them.
