A Marvelous Story
told in two letters.
FROM THE SON : S
“ Gentlemen: My father resides at Glover,
\ t. Ho has been a great sufferer from Scrof
ula, and the inclosed letter will tell you what
a marvelous effect
Ayer's Sarsaparilla
has had ic his case. I think his blood must
have contained the humor for at least ton
yoars; but it did not show, except in the form
of a scrofulous sore on the wrist, until about
five years ago. From a few spots which ap
peared at that time, it gradually spread so as
to cover his entire body. I assure you he was
terribly afflicted, and an object of pity, when
he began using your medicine. Mow, there are
few men of his age who enjoy as good health
as he has. 1 could easily name fifty persons
who would testify to the facts in his case.
Yours truly, W. M. Phillips."
FROM THE FATHER: pleasure and
a duty for me to state to you the benefit I
have derived from the use of
Ayer s Sarsaparilla.
Six months ago I waa completely covered with
a terrible humor and scrofulous sores. The
humor caused an incessant and intolerable
Itching, and the skin cracked so as to cause
the blood to flow in many places whenever
I moved. My sufferings were great, and my
life a burden. I commenced the uso of the
Sarsaparilla in April last, and have used
it regularly since that time. My condition
began to improve at once. The sores have
all healed, and I feel perfectly well in every
respect — being now able to do a good day's
work, although 73 years of ago. Many inquire
what has wrought such a cure in my case, and
I tell them, as I have here tried to tell you,
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Glover, Vt, Oct.
21, 1882. Yours gratefully,
Hiram Phillips.’'
AVer’s Sarsaparilla cures Scrofula
and all Scrofulous Complaints, Erysip
elas, Eczema, Ringworm, Blotches,
Sores, Boils, Tumors, and Eruptions of
the Skin. It clears the blood of all impu
rities, aids digestion, stimulates the action of
the bowels, and thus restores vitality and
strengthens the whole system.

Hokrible Death or Blind Tom’s Man
ager.—Wilmington, Delaware, Feb. 19.-
Mr. John Bethune, manager of Blind Tom,
arrived here late Saturday night on his
way to Washington. The train stopped
ten minutes. Bethune, going to a restau
rant for lunch and not returning until Ihe
train had started, ran and made an attempt
to get on a car, but fell, was dragged some
distance and finally rolled under the car,
his light side being horribly mangled.
He died soon afterwards.

Our Government will of course look in
to this matter and demand theexeraption of
German American citizens from such impo
sition. The naturalized German American is
an American citizen and should lie protected
against this intrusion upon his rights. It
is an insult to the United States to refuse
to recognize tlicir minister to a foreign
court. Surely there must be some mis
take in this Paris dispatch. Neither of
these two wrongs, if founded in truth,

Attempt to Kill a King.—A Rome
dispatch of the 17th, says that four men
fired on a train in which King Humbert of
Italy was returning from a hunting trip.
The fire was returned and it was thought
that one of the men was wounded, but all
escaped. It is getting, more and more, a
dangerous thing to wear a crown.
The New York Tribune says that coun
ties in Georgia are now popularly classed
as “Wet” or “Dry,” but it speaks, at the
same time, of orders for thousands of jugs
being filled in many sections. One dealer,
in South Carolina it says filled an order for
10,000 in one month. This looks like some
of the “dry” counti s are resolved not to
stay dry. _
Lack op Water.—Mr. Conde says, At
lanta can have as much water as she wants
without digging a lazy canal 60 miles long
from the Chattahoochee river, to become a
stagnant pool, a slimy frog pond to bread
malaria and blight the healthfulness of
the place. A few artesian wells, he says
will give her an abundance or pure fresh
water for every purpose.
A man namod J. D. W. Burch, after en

shot him. At the inquest held by Coroner
Piquett, the jury rendered a verdict of jus
tifiable homicide. We gather tho facts
from a report of the case in tne Chronicle.
The Water Question In Augusta,—
Mr. Bennett’s plan to supply water to the

secure the health of the people, are excit

seem to be plausible and will probably be
sustained. We take pleasure in every
thing that will promote the health and
prosperity of the growing and beautiful
city of Augusta.

at Copiah, Mississippi. It would be an
easy matter to show that the colored peo
ple of the south have been tar more wrong
ed by the republicans than by the demo
crats. These investigations are the re
sult of political malignity and a desire to
retain power. office, and emolument. This
is the sole aim and purpose for which they

THE BOKAPARTES.
Paris, Feb. 17.—The supporters of
Prince Napoleon (Plon Plon) to-day
had a meeting at which 3,000 persons
were present and adopted resolutions
demanding a revision of the Consti
tution, the nomination of a constitu
ent assembly and the restoration to
the people of the right of direct elec
tion of a Chief of State.
It is evident from this that the
friends of the Napoleonic dynasty
are anxious to test its popularity be
fore the people of France. As a mat
ter of course the Bourbons would
rally in their strength to contest the
claim to the French throne. We |
have but little doubt that in such a
struggle, the Napoleonists would out
vote the friends of the Count de
Paris. But it would be better for
Franco to* remain a Republic as she
now is. Only a half century has
elapsed since the death of the great
Napoleon, and his deeds are still
cherished by a large number of
Frenchmen as the most brilliant, not
only in the annals of France, but tbe
annals of the world, Napoleon the
1st was the idol of the French people
as well as of the French army, and
millions have grieved over his down
fall and tho wrongs that were done
him in his exile and imprisonment
on the isle of St. Helena. Of all peo
ple on the earth the French are the
most excitable, and the most devoted
to military leaders whose genius and
bravery could develop in the grandest
proportions their heroic aspirations.
Under the first Napoleon they over
run nearly the whole of Europe.—
Their power was not only terrible
but majestic. All movements of the
great military magician, were not
only bold in design but irresistable
in execution. Kings trembled at his
name and thrones crumbled at his
bidding; but we are going beyond
our purpose. We can readily see how
Frenchmen cherisli the fame of Na
poleon, but it would be better to let
well enough alone than to risk the
dangers and vicissitudes attending
upon an effort to overthrow the Re
public. We referred, briefly, in our
iast issue, to this subject, and only
do so again, because at a large meet
ing of the people in Paris, an effort
was openly and boldly made to set
tho ball in motion-for a revolution,
the results of which might be disas
trous to the best interests of France.
During several thousand years there
arose a Hannibal, a Caesar, an Alex
ander, a Frederick the Great, and a
Napoleon. It is only occasionally, in
the lapse of centuries, thatsuchmen
arise t© astonish and shake the world
by the vigor of their genius, the bold
ness of their designs, and the won
derful success and grandeur of their
deeds. It by no means follows, that
because Napoleon Bonaparte posses
sed a genius which sublimed his deeds
and power, that his nephew Jerome
Napoleon, (now an old man,) or his
son Victor, could tread the same vic
torious path, to carry France to the
zenith of glory and greatness. She
is now at the head of political free
dom in Europe. Her people, after
Sedan, proclaimed the greatest of all
social doctrines, “Liberty, Equality
and Fraternity.” The glory of the
past, is her’s even in attendant mis
fortune, and a greater glory awaits
her as & friend to popular rights and
an enemy to the pomp, the injustice,
tho evils and oppressions of arbitra
ry and despotic governments.
THE SAD, SAD STORM.
THE TIMES.
There is much time spent discussing
and cussing time—mean-time—true time-
standard time—sun time—and the time for
everything that King Solomon wrote so
solemnly about—but, of al! the time in the
day give us dinner time. We don’t need
to wear a watch, visit the jeweler, or look
at tlie sun, to know the dinner time, there
is a monitor within us that never fails, at
least never iails as often as a time piece.
But badinage aside; what is the useofal!
this discussion and difference? A man or
woman has very little need of exact time
unless he or she desires to meet a light
ning express train; and oven in case of
failure to do so by two minutes, it may be
best, for many a valuable life has been
saved to family, friends, and country by
being a little behind “time.”
If President Garfield and Mr. J. G.
Biair.e, on that fatal day, Saturday, had
been delayed by some pressing business,
or some incorrigible bore, so that they
could not be on “time” to meet the train,
what a difference there might have been?
Let us. then, not trouble ourselves about
time. Let all have a good time, and see to
it, that their lamps be trimmed and burn
ing when the great time comes to die.
Copyright in News.—Hon. Henry Wat-
terson, of the Louisville Courier Journal,
has prepared a bill to oopyright newspa
per matter. He has done this as chairman
of the committee appointed by the West
ern Associated Press at Its last annual
meeting, to present the subject of news
•opyrlgh t to congress. The object is sim
ply to protect property in news from con
current publication for twenty-four hours.
It is a recognition of property in news. At
the expiratiou of 24 hours, others’ who did
pay for it can use it, and transfer it to
their papers. Mr. Watterson illustrates
as follows: “Supposo a newspaper pub
lished in the city of New York and sold at
3 cents, obtains at great cost and pains, a
column or five columns of interesting and
important matter, should a newspaper is
sued right along side, and sold atone cent,
be allowed to get an early copy, and issue
concurrently this very same matter with
out paying a nickle for It.
There Is no present law to forbid this.
It is proposed to Include all original, spec
ial and general matter, securing one hun
dred words sent by post or by wire, and
embracing original communications of in
formation of any and every description.
Such an act cannot operate in favor of one
newspaper against another, or one news
association over another. It is simply a
bar to rogues, and fixes the same penalty
upon stealing news which the law visits
upon stealing other forms of property,”
“THE COUNTRY EDITOR.’’
This man Is supposed to be a dead sub
ject, so far as the public is concerned.
But he is just the livest man in the land.
He sends tbe latest news to all his neigh
bors—he writes the obituaries of babies
and grandma and grandpa. He weaves a
wreath of roses and violets and sentiment
and puts it on the baby’s grave. W hat
does not the local editor do? The chil
dren come to him for advice—the old
women ask him for “comfort,” and the
negroes follow him in and out of office to
hear “de latlst news.” Oh, the local edi
tor is a big man. And the “Country Edi
tor” ought to go to Congress.
The money losses by the Ohio flood
is estimated at $40,000,000. It is time
for some people to move away from
those flat lowlands whether in the
cities or the country. But some will
stay and rebuild. Nature is the alem
bic which opens the chrystal foun
tains to cool and refresh man’s body
and thirst, but when it drowns, wash
es away houses, and destroys all that
a man has, it is too much of a good
thing; but some will stay there and
rebuild to be overwhelmed again. If
some people will prefer to be drown
ed, or ruined, its their own look out.
We have no fancy for such occur
rences as happen in the Ohio valley
every two or three years.
It was not expected by us that any dan
ger was near, we had the rain and the
wind, but no loss of life or property.
Here is a brief notice of the storm’s
course and destruction on the memorable
evening, Feb. 19th.
The storm originated in the Gulf of
Mexico, as it has ever done in these cy
clone times. It passed through Alabama,
doing great damage, but little loss of life,
at and near, Montgomery. At Birming
ham there was little loss, but at Leeds, a
village near by, the sceee beggars descrip
tion. Horses, mules and cows, had fence
rails driven clear through their bodies. At
Dr. Wright’s two horses were killed and
three blown away. Eleven persons were
killed at Leeds, and over 30 badly hurt.
Jeff Few, colored, was blown three bun
dle 1’yards, and when found there was not
a vestige or clothing on him. The brains
of two negroes were scattered to the winds.
Here follows a piteous story, which we are
not able to reproduce. A trunk contain
ing $1,500 was blown away, aud not heard
from. Aid was promptly given to the suf
ferers.
At Columbus, Ga., tlie loss is estimated
at $20,000. From this place the storm
split, one portion passing through middle
Georgia, another through upper Georgia,
above Atlanta. It was very destructive ot
lire and property in Pickens county. It
was so dark people had to light their
lamps, at 2 p. m. in the day. Iu five min
utes in the space of 15 miles twenty per
sons were killed. The description of the
heart-rending scenes in Pickens Is truly
horrible. Hundreds lost their houses,
stock, and provisions. A Mr. Cagle had
his wife and two children blown a distance
of three hundred yards and alLkiiled. This
part of the storm passed above Athens in
toSouth Carolina, and then through North
Carolina to the Ocean.
The other main branch came through
Butts, Jasper, Putnam, Hancock, Warren,
and Richmond. It was very severe at
Haddock on the M. <fc A. R. R., in Jones
county. It went through the lower part
of Putnam.
Eatoxton, Ga., February 20—Two do
structive cyclones passed over Putnam
county yesterday afternoon, about four
o’clock, sweeping everything before them,
aud causing great loss of life and proper
ty. Hon. Robert Humber’s dwelling,
bains x and negro houses were totally de
stroyed. Mrs. VV. R. PaschqJ, visiting his
house, was killed, and her infant child
supposed to bo fatally hurt. Colonel
Humber’s leg was broken, and Miss Bessie
Randall severely hurt about the head.
Mrs. Jackson’s dwetling was blown away,
and he and Ills wife were both injured.
Three nejyoes were killed, one fatally
woynded, and nineteen others Injured
more or lggs. The dwelling of Mr. Wm.
Dennis was blowndown.and MrS. Dennis’s
leg broken in two places.
COLONEL HUMBER’S CONDITION
Later reports show great loss of proper
ty, but no further lives. J. M. Lancaster’s
place was swepfcor all its houses. John H.
Reid’s dwelling was badly injured. Geoi’go
W. Stenson’s dwelling and all outhouses
were blown away,, John R. Hudson lost
several houses, J. R. Fuller several. Mrs
Mappin all but a barn and dwelling house
The cyclone passed above and below En-
tontonwithno damage. Here Dr. Nisbet
has ju6t returned from.Humber’s and re
ports him all right, except a fracture of
his ankle. None of his family were injured
•except himself and Miss Randall.
Here is thejeport from Jones county, as
iar as we Can hear, says the Macon Tele
graph and Messenger.
From Mr. W. A. Davidson, of Jones
county, who came in for five coffins for one
family, we learn something of the destruc
tion caused by the cyclone in Jones. At
Biountsville, six miles from Haddock’s
Station, the storm came ud about 4:30
o’clock. In an instant houses were blown
down, fragments being carried great dis
tances.
Mr. W. A. Miller, who lives near Blounls-
ville, was at his brother-in-law’s, about a
mile away, when tho storm came up. On
going home he found the house gone and
on the ground lying at considerable dis
tances from each other, the dead bodies of
his wife and three children. One child was
blown away and the body had not been
found up to the timo Mr. Davidson left.
Six negroes were also killed, their bodies
being literally torn to pieces. Tho church
was also blown away.
The cyclone came in between Roundoak
and Clinton. After leaving Bio intsviile it
swooped down on a settlement two miles
this side and blew down several houses,
killing many mules, but sparing human
beings. At Mr. James Hunt’s house Mrs
W. A. Julian and little son, of Macon, were
visiting. With eight other persons, she
sought
1 refuge in a hot house,
or flower pit, and all were thus saved, as
the house was almost destroyed.
At another house a family, who had
heard of the corner of the house being tlie
safest place in such a time, huddled to
gether in the corner. Tho house was de
molished, and when the cyclone had pass
ed it was found that, with the exception
of a negro girl being hurt a little by a log
falling across her lap, the entire party
had escaped with hardly a scratch.
Five miles north of Clinton the store of
Jerry Smith was entirely blown away, and
Mr. Buck Finney, who was in the store at
the time, was so seriously injured that no
hope or his life is entertained.
At Sandersville there was a terrific wind
and hail storm. Mr. Thus. E. Melville, of
Macon, was badly injured while in tho ho
tel yard at Sandersville. It was also very
severe at Davisboro and Ten lille.
This report comes from Augusta:
Augusta, Feb. 20—Yesterday’s storm
in this section was the severest known
since the cyclone of 1875. In Hancock
county the storm struck at 5 o’clock p. in.
overturning outhouses and unrooting
houses. The stables of David Dickson
were set on fire by lightning and burned.
In Columbia county the barn and stables
of Ike V. Ballard, at Harlem, were blown
down and three horses were killed. Much
other damage was done in the interior.
The plantation of George Grenade, in Mc
Duffie county, was ruined, the house being
demolished and timber carried off. On the
plantation oi Dr. Rhese a negro was killed
and Mrs. V. M. Wade, wife of the overseer,
seriously injured. The gin house of John
A. Scott was demolished. In the town of
Bradley’sS, C., the residence of Dr. Lyon
was blown down and his wife was badly
injured. At Ninety-Six, S. C., a house was
blown down and a child killed. The resi
dence of W. H. Slatworth, near Phenix,
Edgefield county, S. C., was blown down.
The ruins caught lire and Mr. Slatworth’s
little daughter was burned to death. The
house of J. C. Haskiuson and the store of
J. A. Boyd, »(j Jackson, S. C., wero blown
down.
This report comes from Tennllle:
Texnille, February 20—A terrible cy
clone and hail storm passed through this
county last night, carrying desolation and
death in its track. It entered the county
crossing the Oconee below No. 14 Central
railroad, and moved in an easterly direc
tion, demolishing fences, houses, and
reaching the town of Davisboro on the
railroad. Every 6tore and house was
blown down and the fragments scattered
in every direction. There is nothing left
of the large and substantial brick ware
house except the bare walls and they are
not over six feet high. One store and two
dwelling houses are all that survives the
wreck. Wm. Vareen, in charge of the
wood-shed and watei-tank, was killed by
a flying piece of timber, and Mrs. J. W.
Hudson and Mrs. Cornelius Jordan, were
badly hurt. The former is not expected to
Ive. Mr. Jordan lost-several mules; a
part of the warehouse roof was blown two
miles.
■There was a high wind at Savannah with
but little damage. South Carolina was
badly torn up in some plaees.
Rivers in Alabama and Arkansas have
also overflowed their banks, and caused
great loss of property. Some honses were
washed away by the overflow of the Red
river.
The Constitution sums up the loss of
life and property, as follows: Killed, in
Alabama, 49—Georgia, 293—South Caroli
na, 80—North Carolina, 53 —total, 370 lives.
Of course this is far baiow the actual loss
of life. Property destroyed, over $2,000,-
000.
Its Course.—The Constitution of last
Sunday had a very accurate map showing
the course of the recent tornado. It came
up from the gulf on the Alabama side of
the Chattahoochee river. Below Columbus
it divided, one track went near Montgome
ry, Ala., and struck Leeds, then entered
Georgia, and passed near Romo and Car-
tersville; and then to Pickens county, by
Mt. Airy, into Carolina. The lower fork
pMSsed above Columbus and Macon,
through Jones, aud Putnam, Hancock,
Warren, Columbia and Richmond into Car
olina, where the two united again at Rock
ingham—then, on to North Carolina and
the ocean.
AT COL. K. C. HUMBER'S.
From the Eaton ton Messenger.
No serious injuries were sustained by
those inside. Col. Humber was blown a
few yards, and the chimney fell upon him.
The fall of tho chimney upon him was
somewhat broken by a sewing machine un
der which he was partially thrown. His leg
was broken just at the ankle, though doc
tors say the main bone is not broken. Col.
Humber felt himself suffocating, by a des
perate effort, extricated himself from the
debris It is simply miraculous that r.o
fatal injury was sustained by any one in
the houso. Large trunks, furniture, <ke.,
were taken from the room in which were
the ladies, and carried hundreds of yards
off. On tho other hand, a trunk aud valise
remained unmoved, and except a sensa
tion of being pressed to the floor, the la
dies were uninjured, save that Miss Bessie
Randall received a cut upon the head aud
Miss Emily Humber was bruised.
Not a tree, and only one house, (occu
pied by negroes) is left standing upon the
hill at Coi. Humber’s, One of the Col’s
horses was killed, another seriously in
jured. He lost slock, cattle, fowls, corn
Ac. In tact, his farm is completely upset.
His outhouses are gone, iiis carriage Is
broken into atoms not much larger than
one’s hand.
A PIANO DANCES A JIG.
Col.Humber’s piano was taken from the
house and landed in a gully a hundred
yards away. Most of tho clothing belong
ing to the family and all the furniture was
lost. -
A heartrending scene. •
Mr. W. C. Paschal, wife and child were
returning from Milledgeville. They reach
ed Col. Humber’s just as the storm came
up. Getting out of the buggy they at
tempted to get to the house. Mrs. Pas
chal was violently blown to the ground
and killed before reaching tlie porch, her
husband was stunned *and injured and the
little child was injured. Mr. Paschal re
covered conciousness when the rain came
on, and took his wife into the house. The
buggy was completely demolished, but
the tnulo escaped.
i M^s. Paschal, a most excellent lady, and
one much beloved, was buried Thursday
front. Ararat church, Rev. Mr. Conaway
preaching the funeral,
NEGROES KILLED AND HURT.
Two negroes were killed outright, on
Col. Humber’s place. One more died
Thursday, aud it is tiiought that two or
three, others cannot recover. Sixteen or
eighteen were wounded. <
VALUABLES SAVED.
Fortunately, the desk or safe containing
Col. Humber’s valuables was blown against
tbe chimney, and thus its contents saved,
except a diamond ring valued at $500.
Money and valuables fell to the ground
with tho crushed desk, and were after
wards found.
THE CAUSE OF CYCLON ES.
As this subject is uppermost in the minds
of the people of our State, we give them
theopinion of a very distinguished scien
tist as to their origin. Dr. Horace R. Ham
ilton delivered a lecture before the New
York Society for the promotion of Science,
in which he said:
“There is probably no subject of modern
timos that has caused and lseausing great
er attention than the origin of tornadoes.
Scientists have studied it for the benefit
of humanity; men have investigated it
for the welfare of their families. It has
been a vexed subject, long considered, and
through all this investigation the cyclones
has swept across the land, carrying de
struction to scientists as well as to tlie in
nocent dwellers in Us track. One thing,
however, is certain; the causo of the cy
clone must bo sought far away from the
whirling body of wind itself. Its results
irre powerful; its cause must'also be pow
erful. Let U3, therefore, consider a few
facts. First, the appearance of a eyeldhe
is invariably preceded by dark spots upon
the face of the sun. These spots, indicat
ing a disturbed condition of the solar re
gions, necessarily affect the atmosphere
of our earth. An unusual generation of
heat in one part of the atmosphere is cer
tain to cause a partial vacuum in another
portion. Air must rush in to HU this va
cuum. Hence the disturbances—hence the
cyclone.
THE NEW CAPITOL.
“Richmond,” correspondent of the Au
gusta Chronicle, thus describes the design
for the new Capitol, accepted by tlie Com
mission :
This design is something like the Feder
al capitol at Washington in its general ap
pearance. The structure is Corinthian in
style. It has four stories, topped with a
parapet wall, and from the centre rises a
large dome, its altitude reaching 240 feet
and making an imposing appearance.
Tne trimmings are to be of marble, inclu
ding the parapets, base of dome, cornices
and facings. White brick work is to be
the back ground.
The dome will tie disconnected from the
other walls. The building will front 330
feet on bot h Washington and McDonough
streets, tho main entrance being on Wash
ington street, and at the side it extends
160 feet on Mitchell and Hnnter streets.
Washington street is on the west side.
The dome measures 75 feet across at the
base of it and 225 feet around the base.
The rotunda is 50 feet across. Tlie base
ment of the Capitol is 12 feet high, and
the stories rising one above each other are
to be respectively 17,18 and 16 feet liiali-
The height of the Representative and Sen.
ate chambers is each 42 feet, and or the
Supreme Court room and State Library
each 39 feet.
There are four entrances, one on each
side of the square. The main front on
Washington street is 55 foet wide, lead
ing to a broad portico resting on six mar
ble columns carved and polished and
adorned with our coat of arms. The ground
Hour, ail above the lot surface, will have in
it the machinery and material for heating,
and rooms for storage. The first floor
above the basement has the offices of the
Governor and State House officers. Secre
tary of State, Treasurer, Comptroller Gen
eral, Ac. The Governor’s rooms will be at
the right of the entrance. The second sto
ry above the basement wiil contain the
legislative chambers, Supreme Court
i'miii and library. The third floor above
the basement has the galleries of the Leg
islature and the committee rooms. The
Representative Chamber is on Washing
ton street over the chief entrance, and the
Senate is on the McDonough street side.
All tin; modern conveniences of lighting,
heating, elevators, Ac, will be used, and
the whole concern, will be fire proof.
After going up the steps to the first por
tico, there is a vestibule in an entrance
and a forty foot corridor. From this the
four vast wings are approached by four'
lateral corridors, the two shorter ones 40
teet wide and the two larger 70 feet wide
Theljunction of these corriuers is the base
of the dome with a fifty feet rotunda connec
ted to the corridors by a 16 feet door. The
dome is two hundred and twenty feet clear
and has balconies at points the topmost
up one hundred and eighty feet. The walls
are eighty-five feet high. The top of the
dome can be ascended.
OUR NEIGHBORS.
General Gordon (called Chinese Gordon)
says ho found the prison at Khartoum a
den of misery. In it were 200 wretches of
all ages loaded with chains. Many have
never been tried, are innocent of crime, or
are prisoners of war. Among the ^prison
ers was a woman who had spent 15 years
in the prison for a crime committed when a
girl. Gordon demolished this bastile.
The town was made a blaze of light amidst
great rejoicings. The Europeans say that
the garrison would have been lost but for
Gordon, and he seems to move and accom
plish results without troops. There is
room for explanation about Chinese Gor
don.
The bodies of Lieutenant Commander
De Longe, Jerome J. Collins, and the oth

Stevens’ Pottery, Feb. 21st, 18S4.
Messrs. Editors .’—The storm was de
cidedly more frightening here than dam
aging. Many dark and threatening clouds
were flying late in afternoon, and contin
ued until past twelve o’clock at night.
Sain, hail, thunder with constant flashes
o* lightning, kept Some of us in constant
dread of what might instantly follow.
W. C. Stevens and family together with
Prof. R. W. Davis took refuge in his ele
gant and comfortable weather house that
he has taken such pains, and so much skill
in building. Prof. D. remained there all
night; he has great faith in houses built
iu the ground, says he never read of one
being blown away. Mr. Berry Stevens
and Robt. Branan were badly frightened,
a* they wero caught under the large seup-
peruong harbor of Mr. W. P. Stevens,
that was blown down while they were
newly fitting it up with timbers, and put
ting it in correspondingly nico trim with
the many repairs they are doing around
the homestead of Mr. W. P. Stevens
Your correspondent last week said \V P.
Stevens and others were doing up tho old
hqmestead, but it is he aloue who is beau
tifying his homo and is sole landlord of
what he surveys. Ho is also repairing his
elegant saw mill two miles from this place
and in a few days will start up again with
more steam than ever.
Every thing at tho two large potteries
is running smoothly, running out brick
by the thousand, pipe by the carload, and
lumber to furnish a generous public.
Prof. R. W. Davis’s combination cultiva
tor and cotton chopper is aUractiDg much
attention here, and the prospect is that the
demaud will be greater than the supply. All
agree that it is a success, and will fill the
long needed want of the farmer. W. C.
■ Stevens has bought the right to Baldwin
county and expects to furnish as many as
ho can this season, but will cot be able tc
supply all that will be wanted.

will be made to effect his restoration.
Only one car-load of corn, so far as we
