As Is the general custom , the farmers hero
count their cattle every Sunday. A week
ago Sunday everything checked O. 1C , but
the fact , now develops tbat a number of
farmers in countlntr last Sunday Jind they
nro short from two to throe of their best fut
steers. Where they nro , or who got them , Is
not known. It is supposed that somebody on
some niRht during the week passed through
and gathered up a cur load and shipped them
from some adjoining town. The unlucky
farmers feel pretty sere at having the profits
of their stock-raising taken in this manner.

The Spcolnl Aldorinaiiio Klootkon ,
The announcement that Mnyor Slunno
would issue a proclamation for a special
election to bo hold on the day ot the general
election for the purpose of electing councilmen -
men , has caused considerable discussion ns
to the legality of such proceeding. E. T.
Parnswortli , city attorney , when asked In
reference to the matter , stated that ho had
not been consulted In reference to illllng
the vacancies , but that his attention had
been called to the statement In Tnc Jinn.
Ilo stated further that It was his opinion that
the vacancies could not bo tilled at the No
vember election ; that section 103 of the gen
eral election Inw provides that vacancies in
city und village ofllcos shall bo filled by thu
mayor and council or board of trustees ; that
section 10. ) provides that such appointments
shull continue nt the next election at which
tbo vacancy can bo fllloa.
Sub-division 23 of section 03 of the charter
provides Hint the mayor nnd council shall
liuvo power by ordinance to provide for
illling such vacancies as .may occur in any
elective ofllco , by uppointinunt by the mayor
nnd council , to hold until the next general
election.
The general olcction here referred to Is the
general city election , as by suction 13 of
nrticio 10 of the constitution of the stuto ,
ofllcers of cities nro not included in the
cilices to bo llllcd at the general state elec
tion.
tion.Tho
The general election , ns fixed by
charter , shall bo held on thu
llrst- Tuesday in April annually. No nu-
thority is given by Hid charter for calling n
special olcction for the purpose ot electing
councilman , and as the charter provides n
way for filling the vacancy , no other coursa
can bo pursued.
As it is less than n year until the next
gpncral city election , the vacancy will have
to bo filled by uppoiiituiout , or the vacancy
continue.

Asaprolly young typo-wrltor snt nt
her desk near nn oftlco window looking
out on Uroiul slroot , the other dny , snys
tlio Atlanta Constitution , working rnn-
idly with her niinblo lingers , aho felt
tlio consciousness ot Hlniiigo oycs upon
linr , nnd nil soil her uyes only to moot
these of n Chitinnmn. The Chinmnmi
wna Rnzlnp nt her most Intently.
The young Indy wont on with her
work , thinking the strange Httlo ( Iguro
would donni'l : but it moved not , neither
flid itspcuic for fomo minules. After
gn/.ing jit hur intently , the llguro glided
noiseless into the olllco , and said to ono
ot the oloi'kn : "Mollcnn gnl inuchco
likoo Chinoo. "
The "Mottcnn gnl" referred to Unshod
with otnbnrrnssinont nnd indignation.
She didn't fancy being llkonod to these
Indies with sinnll ( col und queer fiicon
who disport thomttolvos upon funs nnd
banners. The dork stnrtod to say that
ho could sco no rcsoinblnnco , but the
Colustinl had dopnrtotl as noiselessly as
hu came in. .
The next dny und the next the yellow
innn in blno clothes stood silently nt the
window and gazed at the pretty llttlo
girl , who crow moro.nnd moro iiorvotia
nt , this dumb admiration.
Ono morning she found on her doslc ix
Dticknga uncannily interesting. It waa
wrapped in n ( Jhinoso gilt cloth ot
golduii tissue ombroidurod in Chinesu
tlguros. Uoinoving this the girl discov
ered n box of pnpior mtvoho , wrought in
wondrous designs ot boasts and and
birds , a regular illustrated dullriiun
It-unions of a box. Lifting tlio lid ro-
vonlud n thin , white pauor , with "Moll-
can girl" written upon it. Beneath this
lay n wealth of Hwocla , nuts , candlcB
nnd dates , prepared in such a way as
only the Chinese can , nil upside down
in a surprising sort ot way , with syrup
in balls that intiilo you wonder how they
were llxod. and all yorts of cpngloinura-
tions going to muko a. mvoot harmony.
The girl distrusted these enticing
things , which goes to provo that she
was timid unmitrh for a Chinese wife , if
four could make hop resist the seduc
tive bon-bon. FO enticing to the female
youth of America. But she said she
couldn't , and nho wouldn't touch" the
stutT. nnd so the other employes , lirst in
economy nnd prcfauntly in joy , ate the
whole boxf id.
The Chitinnmn and the boxes came
regularly for several days. The young
lady would not touch them , hut her
comrades enjoyed the gifts too well to
doubt them.
The last visit was a fo\v days ago. lie
entered the olllco in a garb the mikado
mifi-ht Imvo envied , so richly was it
embossed and embroidered with tilings
that swam and crawled and lleiv. In
his hand ho hold n lighted yellow can
dle Unit tlio Chinese used us nn hour
glass. Placing it before the startled
girl at the type-writer , ho said solemnly :
"Alnlly while light burn/ '
The girl , in mortal terror of being1
espoused by some compelling celestial
rite , snatuhcd the eniiulo and blow it
out ; nnd then the Chinaman , showing
for the first time some human emotion ,
left her presence with a face ono do-
grco moro passionless mid solemn. This
was tlio end ot ti Chinese courtship.
The girl has never seen him since.
CALM IN THE FACE OF DEATH.

A tradesman of Lyons , Franco , of the
name of Grivet , a man of mild and sim
ple manners , was sentenced during tno
French revolution , with a number of
others , to die next morning , says the
Philadelphia Press. Those who wore
already in the cave pressed around the
new-comer to sympnthi/.o with nnd for
tify him. But Grirct hnd no need of
consolation , ho was as calm as if he had
been in his own house. "Come and sup
with us , " said they , "this is the last inn
in the journey of life ; to-morrow we
shall arrive nt our long home. " Grivet
accepted the invitation and supped
heartily. Desirous to sleep as well , ho
retired to the remostost corner of the
grave , and burying himself iuhisstraw ,
seemed not to bcfatow a , thought on his
approaching fate.
'J he morning arrived. The other
prisoners wore ti 'd together nnd led
away without Grivct's perceiving any
thing or bolng perceived. Fast asleep ,
enveloped in his straw bed , he neither
saw nor was seen. The door of the wive
was locked , and when he awoke , awliilo
after , ho was in the utmost astonish
ment to find himself in perfect.solitude.
The day passed , and no new prisoners
wore brought into the cave , the judges
did not sit for two days. Grivet re
mained all this time in his solitudcsub-
sisting on some scattered provisions
which he found in the cave , and bleep
ing every nigtit with the same trnu-
quility as on the llrst. On the evening
of the fourth day the turnkey brought
in a now prisoner , and became as ono
thunderstruck on lioolng a man , eras , ho
almost believed , inspirit in the cave.
lie called the Hoiitiiiul , who instantly
appeared. "Who arc you'said ho to
Grivet , "and how came you hero ? "
Grivotansworcd that ho had boon there
four days. "Doubtless. " ho added ,
'when my companions in misfortune
wore led n-way to death I slept and
heard nothing , and no ono thought to
awaken mo. It , was my misfortune ,
einco all would now have been passed ,
whereas I have now lived with the
prospector douth nlwavn before me , but
the misfortune now will undoubtedly be
ropuiroil aiid I shall die. "
Grivet wns Biimmonod before the
tribunal , lie was interrogated anew.
It was a moment of luniunoy with the
judges , and he wan set nl liberty.
