Thus the Augusta Chronicle: The At

received three replies. An “Old Straight”
living in Campbell county has met “four

for Colquitt.” The same Old Straight
met “uiue more during the evening, and
every one was for Colquitt.” Per contra,
in Covington seven votes were polled—
three for Cartrel, two for James, one for
Colquitt, and one for Stephens. The

Four hundred and fifty men voted; four

The Saudersville Herald remarks that
au excellent farmer who has tried it, says
that one acre of productive land planted
in the early varieties of corn usually cul
tivated for roastiug-ears, will produce an
abundance of forage—corn and fodder—
to feed a horse one year. The way he
does it is this: He makes the land rich, of
course. Plants early and cultivates well.
When the corn is about ready for the
fodder to be pulled—getting a little hard—
he cuts it down and stores away corn,
stalk and all together, and thus feeds to
his horses. The forage is better, he con
tends, and horses thrive well upon it.
After this crop is secured the land can
again be planted in peas, or some other
late crop, and made to pay almost double
what it will when planted in the usual
way.
Fort Valley Mirror: Sunday evening
Rev. Jeff. Wright went to a mill pond
near his place to administer the ordinance
of baptism to some members who had
recently joined the church, leaving his
old mother alone at home. During his
absence two negro men called at the
house and impudently demanded some
thing to eat. She immediately left the
house and went into the kitchen to get
something for them, when one of the
black scoundrels, who had a large stick in
his hand, grossly insulted the unprotected
old lady, whereupon she got a knife and
threatened to go for them. They became
alarmed and left in short order. One was
a short, chunky negro, and the other was
a tall and very robust fellow.
Saudersville Herald: One of the most
successful planters in Georgia gave us,
•some time since, the secret of his always-
having a smoke-house well stored wi tk
good bacon. Said he, “A few years back
I found iu the spring that my stock of
hogs would be insufficient for my next
year’s supply of bacon. Early in the
season I planted an acre of good, pro
ductive land in speckle peas. These I
cultivated well, and as soon as the peas
began to haiden I turned my hogs upon
them for an hour or so every morn-
lu 8- I never saw hogs improve as fast
in my life. This pea patch, together
with the pasture after my oat crop
had been harvested, lasted until I could
bpen a field where the corn had been
gathered. After my pastures, peas, pota
toes, etc., had been eaten out, I put my
fattening hogs upon com for a short time.
The result was, that instead of being, as
1 feared in the spring, short of meat for
one year, I made an abundance of excel
lent bacon for three years, and better
meat I never raised in my life. I have
now increased my pea patch as you see,
' pointing out the patch of luxuriant peas
upon which his hogs were then feasting,)
mid 1 find it pays wonderfully.” When
bacon can be raised so easily and at so
little cost, is it not strange that so many
suioke houses upon the farms of Georgia
are empty one-half the year ?

ported but forty-five deaths for the past
jear. There is about eleven thousand
people in the county, and at this rate
there will be about eighty deaths iu the
^ear, including white aud colored, old
people and children. We venture the
assertion that there is not another county

that can show so small a death rate for the
same number of people. If they can, let

Thus the Macon Telegraph: W. Watkin
Hicks, having joined the Grant gang in
Florida and received his reward there
for in the shape of a $3,000 per annum
office, is now howling “intimidation”
and “violence” as lustily as any of his
brother carpet-baggers. He says the
Democrats are thirsting for his precious
gore, and that his friends have to guard
his personal movements. Well, we are
rather obliged to Hicks for so fully
verifying our diagnosis of his case made
when he was living in Macon. He is just
exactly where we predicted he would
eventually land.
The Monticello Constitution says that
on Saturday last a negro woman, thirty’-
three years of age, measuring only three
feet in height and weighing seventy-eight
pounds, was in that town. She was

intellect for one of her race, and had good
use of herself. We understand that
Judge Bell made an effort to secure her
services as one of the curiosities he in
tends to place on exhibition at the Phila
delphia Centennial, but failed.
The same paper says that the citizens
of Jefferson have concluded to postpone
all further efforts for a County Fair the
present season, and will undertake the
enterprise next year, and have a fine dis

the planters and others full time to make
necessary preparation and create an ani

Monticello Constitution: “Jonathan,”

us consider the source. Some men by
nature are so base and contemptible that
their abuse is preferable to their praise.
Quincy Journal: We have heard, but
do not vouch for the truth of the follow
ing : A colored man, living near the Kil-
crease pi tntation, who had two women,
one his wife, living in the same house
with him, the women got to quarreling;
he took the part of the lewd woman,
against his w’ife, and choked and beat
her so that she died from the effects cf
the same. After her death, which we
understand occurred the night after the
choking and beating, he took the other
woman and left for parts unknown. We
have not learned of any' inquest or other
legal means having been taken to ascer
tain the truth of the above story, though
it is tiue that the woman is dead, and
that she was choked to death, as her
eyes were nearly popped out of her head,
and her neck and body swollen terribly,
aud dreadfully bruised, and also that her
husband aud the other woman has run
away—fled from j istice. Since the above
was put in type, the man, whose name is
Joe Goodson, has been arrested and
lodged in jail in this place.

It Was a Bee.
[From the Detroit Free Press.]
Any one passing along Howard street
just before noon, yesterday, would have
seen him lying under one of the shade
trees in his yard, a pillow under his head,
his feet on a bench, and a magazine in
his hands. He looked the picture of
comfort and contentment, and the women
who were going along with pull-back
dresses on sighed and wished they were
men.
The great city hall bell struck the hour
of noon. The deep-toned echoes floated
out on the still summer air and touched
a tender chord in the Howard street man’s
heart. The echoes sounded to him like
funeral whispers—like the whispers of
the night wind sighing through the grand
old wilderness.
“Oh 1 solemn bell!” he suid. “Oh !
sad, solemn !”
That was all he said about the bell. A
bumble bee settled down on him to look
for sugar, and as he turned partly over
he gave the bee a rub. It is a bad thing
to rub any kind of a bee. He feels in
sulted and gets annoyed at things which
a mud turtle or a dove would pass by
without a thought. The echoes of the
bell were just dying away when the How
ard street man got up. He got up like a
man in a hurry. He went away from
there. He didn’t meander—he went like
a rocket. Something seemed to ail him.
He made a line for the house, went up
the steps at a bound, and, as his wife
asked him the cause of his haste, he re
plied :
4 ‘Thunder—oop ! hoop!”
“Is this house on fire?” she asked, as
he tore around the parlor aud upset
things.
“ House be oop ! Lordy !” he
answered, as he made a circuit of the
room and dashed into the house.
The dog rushed after him: the w’ife
rushed after the dog, and the man
bounded out of the house.
“Are you crazy, Robert?” shrieked the
wife, as she beheld him pounding his legs
with his silk hat.
Two or three boys ran in from the
street: a strange dog came in aud got up
a fight, aud all things conspired to make
a lively timev
“ He’s got the colic !” yelled one of the
boys.
“Or the tremers!” shouted another.
“See that hat!” called a third.
“Boys, go out of here!” whispered the
panting man as he stopped using his hat.
They went out and as he limped into the
house, his tearful wife asked:
“Now, then, will you tell me what has
happened ?”
“No, I won’t!” he shouted, and he
didn’t. She fell into hysterics at the
thought that he had used his brain too
much, and. had suddenly become crazed;
and he went down to the drug store and
applied arnica to the spot, and informed
the clerk that eleven thousand of the
largest kind of bumble bees settled right
down on him in a body.
Attempted Fraud with Forged Tele
grams. — Unsuccessful attempts . were
made in New York on Saturday to obtain
$1,080 from Mr. Perkins, Cashier of the
Importers’ and Traders’ Bank, and $980
from Mr. Blenkenhorn, Assistant Cashier
of the Third National, by messages pur
porting to be telegrams from President
Buell, of the former bank, and Cashier
Jordan, of the latter, both of whom are
out of town, asking the recipients to pay
bills for jewelry which would be sent in
by well known Maiden-lane firms. The
bills were subsequently presented, but
suspicion having been aroused at the out
set and confirmed by inquiry, the present
ers were arrested. They gave their names
as John Benson, aged twenty-two, no
home, and Martin Brennan, of No. G3
CharltOD street, and each professed to be
merely the messenger of an unknown man
who was waiting at the corner for the
money, and who had disappeared. The
bill in each case was made out on what
appeared to be a genuine bill-head, but
was otherwise a sheer forgery. Brennan
had two similar bills, one made out
against August Belmont, and the other
against F. F. Thompson. Both prisoners
were remanded for examination at the
Tombs. In each of the fraudulent mes
sages the word “informed” is used where
“notified” or “directed” would have been
more suitable.
Another Clergyman “ Slips His
Cable.”—Says the Chicago Times: Anoth
er sensitive clergyman has turned up.
Ho is the Rev. A. R. Doolittle, of Elroy,
Wisconsin, aud he is charged with grave
immoralities in connection with a female
member of his household. He had an
examination before a Justice, pleaded
guilty and was held under bail. He was
on his way to the county seat in charge
of a Sheriff when a newsboy rushed into
the station with the cry, “Full accounts
of the Elroy scandal!” The Rev. Mr.
Doolittle became quite faint. “My God!”
he exclaimed, “My sister-in-law is com
ing in on the train, and when she sees
this newspaper I shall be afraid to meet
her. And they will know all about it in
New York and everywhere else. Sheriff,
take me away!” The sensitive clergyman
was removed to a more secluded place.
This case affords another proof that the
practice of printing clerical scandals in
newspapers is pernicious. This tender
hearted man might have been spared a
great deal of humiliation if the news
papers hadn’t exposed him.

LETTER FROM PRESIDENT DAVIS.
Memphis, Tenn., August 15, 1875.
Henry P. Kimball, Secretary of the Win
nebago County Agricultural Society,
Rockford, Til :
Dear Sib—I yesterday sent to you a
telegram announcing m3’ revocation of
my conditional acceptarme of the invita
tion to address your awbciatiou at their
annual meeting in September next. The
long period which has elapsed since the
receipt of your first letter, and the con
siderate courtesy which has marked your
correspondence, make it necessary that a
sufficient explanation should be given of
this change of purpose. Three objects
mainly induced me to accept your invi
tation :
First. The hope that personal inter
course might remove some of the preju
dices which bad been generated by parti-
zan factions and nurtured by individual
and sectional hate, and anxious, as in
former years, to promote the interest of
our great valley of the Mississippi, and
believing that with mutual confidence
and co-intelligence much could be done
for their advancement, sorely delayed,
prompted my acceptance of your invita
tion. The productive capacity of the
Northwest needs for its development
cheaper and- safer transportation to the
markets of the Southwest, and also to
foreign countries. In England, especially,
earnest attention has been directed
for several years past to the more direct
and economical trade with the Missis
sippi valley. In this connection, it was
my desire to confer with the Patrons of
Husbandry in your rich and prosperous
section, to discuss with them the ques
tions involved in securing better means
of transporting your farm produce to the
most favorable markets, and providing
agencies which should insure larger re
turns to farmers, and, by such conference,
to learn the views not only of one mem
ber of the family of the Mississippi
valley—a famil3 r , the chief interest of all
the members of which is agriculture—but
the cultivators of such various crops as
to make trade among themselves ex
tensive and lucrative, while it stamps on
each and all the same interests and the
same policj' as to their foreign trade. To
render such conference effectual there
must needs be a disposition to attend to
the subject under consideration—surely
not a purpose to smother it by the inter
position of matters having no just rela
tion to it.
Second. An effort was made to recog
nize the courtesy of your board, and I
was encouraged to believe that your re
ception of me would be beneficial, rather
than injurious, to your association. This
was the more supposable because several
other agricultural societies of Illinois had,
in like manner, invited me to address
their annual meetings. Yesterday I
received a printed paper, it be- I
iug a protest of a number of your
fellow-countrymen against the actions of
your board is their invitation to me to
make the annual address at the county
meeting. Thereupon I sent a telegram
withdrawing my acceptance of the invi
tation, under the consideration that it
would not be useful or agreeable to par
ticipate in the meeting, and I hope that
neither your association nor the Directors
will suffer harm by delay in procuring an
orator, or by the correspondence which
has caused it.
Third. The object was to gratify the
wishes long entertained to see in its cul
tivated dress the country known to me as
a trackless wilderness, but that being
merel3’ a personal gratification it may bo
indulged at my convenience or postponed
indefinitely. I can well believe that the
cause which has changed my purpose was
as unforeseen by you as by me, and you
may be assured that I feel no dissatisfac
tion towards the directors or 3’ourself, and
have suffered no personal embarrassmeut
from the event. As the invitation was un
expected and only acceptable as an ex
pression of general good will, so iny only
regret is the loss of an opportunity to
promote the public interest with which
the welfare of your community is identi
fied. Again expressing the hope that
neither the directors nor yourself may
suffer injury or annoyance, and thanking
you for the kindness and consideration
you have manifested, I am
Yours respectfully,
Jefferson Davis.

Atlanta, August 18th, 1875.
It ;s not necessary that I should tell
your readers that the recent journeyings
of the Hon. A. H. Stephens have created
an unusual flutter in political circles, and
that great significance has been given his
movements on account of the rumor that
he was to be a candidate for Governor at
the approaching election. These facts are
already well known to the majority of
newspaper readers throughout the State,
and I w 7 ill simply add a few words of ex
planation in regard to the whole matter.
HIS ARRIVAL IN ATLANTA.
Mr. Stephens arrived here from Ma
rietta in company with Colonel J. I).
Waddell, on the noon train, and imrne
diatel}' after dinner I visited him at the
residence Qf his nephew’, John A.
Stephens, Esq., where I was joined by
several newspaper reporters and distin
guished gentlemen, all of whom seemed
to be here for the same purpose—to
ascertain whether or not Mr. S. was a
candidate for Governor. To us of the
press he very pleasantly remarked that he
was willing to talk with us, as private
gentlemen, on any subject, but he had an
established rule against being profession
all} 7 “interviewed” for publication. Of
course this put us in the position of the
rest of the party present, and for two
hours w r e sat and listened to the “Sage
of Liberty Hall” as he discussed public
and private matters in a social anu
friendly manner.
OBJECT OF HIS RECENT TRAVELS.
Finding himself in excellent health at
the commencement of the warm weather,
Mr. S. concluded to carry out a long
cherished purpose to visit some of the
old and revered friends of ante-bellum
days, and with this object in view went
to Southwestern Georgia, Jand later to
Cherokee Georgia. At Cedartown many
old associates from Greene county are
located, and Mr. Stevens was at this place
when the Charleston Convention assem
bled. His recollections of that period
are, therefore, quite vivid, as he was then
iu the midst of a community “ red hot ’’
for secession. After a lapse of nearly
fifteen years he revisits those scenes,
and mingles again with the loved and fa
miliar friends of his boyhoyd. There,
too, he met some of his earliest clients,
and talked over once more the profes
sional labors of his early manhood. To
this was added a sacred duty—the exami
nation and revision of the manuscript of
the life of Linton Stephens, recently pre
pared by Col. J. D. Waddell, and which
is now nearly ready for the press. These
are the plain, unvarnished facta connected
w’ith the late journeyings of “ Little
Aleck.”
THE POWER OF THE PRESS UNLIMITED.
Mr. Stephens talked freely to us in re
gard to the third term, currency question,
force bill, civil rights bill, Louisiana
matters and “ Old Bill Allen,” and in
doing so, referred to the fact that certain
Northern newspaper men with whom he
had once conversed, as he was then talk
ing with us, in a friendly and frank
manner, had taken advantage of his
kindness and not only published his con
versation, but in many respects had mis
represented his views. “There is no
human power,” remarked Mr. S., “equal
to that of the press of the country.”
Much of its power, however,he thinks, is
wasted by a premature discussion of
public questions and the claims of candi
dates to public confidence and support. A
wise general reserves the full strength of
his army for the actual conflict, aud seldom
wastes it in efforts of a doubtful charac
ter, for the mere purpose of frightening
the enemy. I have long held to this
opinion, and as a journalist of twenty
years’ experience I am fully convinced
that much of the disaster which has over
taken the Democratic and Conservative
party has been owing to a too early
and general discussion of public meas
ures and public men. When the real
issue is made, in most cases, the enemy
is fully prepared to meet it, as all the
weakness of onr cause has been laid open
for months or years, and the plan of
operation fully understood. In politics,
as in war, the less the opposing forces
know of our plans and purposes, except
at the last moment, the better for our
cause and the greater the chance of sue
cess on our part.
THE CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR.
It would be quite impossible in a letter
of this character to discuss the question
of whe is to be the next Chief Magistrate
of this State, as, just now, the question is
sadly befogged with doubts and difficul
ties of a too serions character to be blown
away with a breath. The friends of Mr.
Stephens are laboring for his election
with great confidence, notwithstanding
what I have written above; nor are they
laboring iu vain. Uther candidates may
well tremble. And a lively contest may
be expected, if, when the proper time
arrives, Mr. Stephens is finally pressed
into the field. The mere mention of his
name in connection with the office has
developed greater strength than he was
credited with •possessing. It is also a
fact, and one that becomes daily
more apparent, that Governor Smith,
if called out m« the proper man
ner, will be a candidate. These, then,
are the two things to be considered be
fore the cases^ of Alfred, -Thomas and
John can be considered. Among the
Grangers, General Alfred H. Colquitt and
Colonel Thomas H. Hardeman, Jr., will
divide the support of the Order, (of
course in an individual manner, and not
as Patrons,) and make a close fight
throughout the entire State. Ex-Mayor
John H. James I should a not mention as
a probable candidate were it not for his
prominent connection with a powerful
religious denomination, and his desire to
spend, in a legitimate way, a small for
tune to elevate himself to the Chief Mag
istracy of the State. Of his success I
have the gravest doubts, although I
regal’d him as an excellent Christian
gentleman and a public-spirited citizen.
Looking over the field very carefully, and
comparing the opinions which I have
gathered after much effort, I am com
pelled to give the field to Hardeman and
Colquitt, with the chances in favor of the
former: provided, however, that Smith
and Stephens do not come in cn the
heme stretch. They will not enter the
race on the first or second quarter, but I
I very much fear that on the third
‘quarter or home-stretch one or
both of these gentlemen will be
trotted on the track, groomed, trained
and fresh for a contest for the final vic
tory. As the matter now stands—and it
will probably^remaiu so for a time—both
Gov. Smith and Mr. Stephens are silent
as to their future action in the race; but
they do affirm that they are not now can
didates. Of one thing I am certain—
speaking from a point of wide and careful
observation—the next Governor of
Georgia will not be self-selected, nor
the pet of any ring, class of citizens,
or religious denomination, but the
free, spontaneous choice of the great
mass of the people of Georgia. Mark
THIS PREDICTION WELL.

LETTER FROM ST. MARY’S.
Watering-Place Poetry.—A young
fellow from Brooklyn, writes Eli Perkins,
who wears a dyed moustache, paper col
lar, velvet coat and big solitaire diamond
ring, lias been spending his time in
writing his name around on Saratoga
mirrors, window panes, Ac. This morn
ing he took the early train for Richfield,
all because one of our pretty girls wrote
under his name with her little diamond :
“When’er I see a fellow’s name
Written on the glass,
I know he owns a diamond,
And his father owns an ass.”
The City and its Sarroandings—Health or
the l'« ©pie—The P. G. In G.—The Matri
monial Prospects.
St. Mary’s, Ga., August 14, 1875.
Editor' Morning News :
A letter from this little “city by the
sea” may not be uninteresting to some of
your readers. Though both the Daily
and Weekly News have subscribers here,
I never see a line from any of our citizens
giving you the news from our city and
county. I am certain that if our leading
men would communicate with immi
grants and seekers of health through
the columns of your widely circulated
and deservedly popular paper, the tide
of immigration, to a considerable extent
at least, would be turned in this direc
tion. We need only labor and capital.
But how art the advantages of our county
to be kauwu by immigrants and capital
ists ? We have no railroad communica
tion with any other town, and our steam
boat communication is such that travel
ing capitalists will never see that this is
the country where they can double their
money.
The city is beautifully situated on the
St. Mary's river, a short distance from its
mouth. The river is the line between
Florida and Georgia. Fernandina, in
Florida, is in sight. The streets of the
town are wide, and are kept in a tolerable
good condition. Our Mayor, Aldermen
and Marshal, are gentlemen who under
stand aud attend to their business. Every
thing considered, there is not a more
orderly town in any State.
There are three churches belonging to
the whites : Presbyterian, Methodist and
Catholic. Rev. R. R. Baker, Moderator
of the Presbytery, held in Blackshear a
few months since, is pastor of the Pres
byterian Church; Rev. L. A. Darsey, of
the South Georgia Annual Conference, is
pastor of the Methodist Church. The
Catholic Church has no priest for the
present. The blacks have three churches
also—Baptist, Northern Methodist and
African Methodist.
We have three schools for whites and
two for blacks.
A graduate of Emory College, and, if I
mistake not, a classmate of Hon. Thos.
M. Norwood, has charge of the academy.
Two most excellent, educated ladies, are
the competent teachers of the other two
schools for the whites.
You need not go to Florida nor to the
mountains seeking health. For health-
fulness the city is unsurpassed in this or
any other country. If you want to live
until you die with old age, come to St.
Mary’s. We suffer from no kind of sick
ness which cannot be avoided, excepting
“love sickness.” No young man (un
married, of course,) coming here need
think he will escape this most^pleasant
affection, for ‘ the P. G. in G.” cer
tainly resides in this place. But, alas !
she wears a very heavy gold ring on the
third finger of her left hand. It was seen
last evening at a party given by the
young gentlemen of the city. It is said
(by the way, old Mrs. Rumor lives here,)
that the very expensive ring came from
your city. As chairman of “a commit
tee of one,” I would say to that Savannah
young man that notwithstanding we have
no yellow fever here, and do not expect
to have it, it is thought best for him to
be as “scarce” as possible in this sec
tion, otherwise he might be led to con
clude “distance lends enchantment to the
view.”
Two or three of the negroes who as
sassinated our noble young citizen, Mr.
Charley Lang, are confined in the county
jail in this place. Shikmie.
Tlio Earthquake in Cucuta.
‘A. V. D.” writes to the London Times,
under date of May 2Gth, on the subject
of the earthquake which two months
since devastated the north of New-
Grenada, destroying five towns in forty
seconds. The town of Cucuta, which
was principally colonized by Germans,
and has become a flourishing community
through German enterprise, now lies in
ruins. The loss of life in these towns is,
A. V. D.” says, at the lowest calcula
tion, ten thousand, while many survivors
are left homeless and penniless, many
widows and children left with nothing
but the clothes they escaped in, as after
the earthquake bands of thieves poured
in from all sides and picked and
pillaged everything. In such a coun
try, where no settled government
exists, the state of things is, as
the correspondent states, and as we
can well believe, more fearful than
Europeans can find words to express.
A. V. D.” sends au extract from a letter
just received from his son, who has been
for twenty years in New Greneda, and
has now lost everything. “A. V. D.”
adds a hope that German residents in
London may devise some means, through
the Brazilian and Venezuelan Govern
ments. of aiding their unfortunate coun
trymen and countrywomen : “For many
years we have had no earthquakes, but
on the lGth of last May we felt a shock,
and a similar one on the next day. On
the 18th, at 11:30 a. m , we felt another.
I was just sitting down to luncheon with
my wife and brother-in-law at
the moment. As we had always done
in such a case, we flew to the court
yard. We had scarcely got there when
from all sides around us the walls fell in.
As Dy a miracle, the spot where we stood
was untouched. The shock was terrible.
We fell, and in a moment we were as if
buried beneath a heavy shower of dust,
and remained several minutes in that
state. As soon as we became conscious
that we were living, we stood for a while
clasped in each other’s arms. We could
not realize what had happened until the
shrieks of the wounded neighbors reached
our ears. We struggled to find our way
over the ruins, while on every side around
us fire burst out. With the greatest dif
ficulty we clambered over the ruins—and,
alas! across the dead and dying—followed
by some who had been saved. At last
we reached the outskirts of the town,
where we found others who had
escaped—thirty in all. After awhile the
rain came down in torrents, and what
we then suffered I am unable to describe.
Our clothes were saturated, the night fell,
and w’e were without shelter, for no house
remained, aud the shocks were still con
tinued. At 4 o’clock in the morning there
came a cessation in the terrible revolu
tion of nature. We succeeded in lighting
a fire and drying our clothes. The rain
continued all the next day, but we were
able to make a tent, and passed a better
night, though despair was iu our hearts,
not knowing what to do. Just then a
messenger arrived from my partner, to see
if I still lived, and to offer me a shelter. I
have now been the last two days at San
(Jhristobel, which has also suffered a great
deal, but not so much as Cucuta. We
live here in any deserted, tumble-
down barn. All surrounding places have
suffered much, but the centre point was
Cucuta, the cause of which may be attri
buted to a small volcano, which continu
ally throws out boiling water and sul
phur, which was considered excellent for
invalids. A third part of the population,
which was estimated at 10,000, have per
ished. Of many families none were
saved. No family escaped loss of some
relatives or friends, and all lost their
property. Among the thirty who are
with me at San Christobei, is a widow,
with eight children—whose guardian I
am—and I have nothing to give them;
having lost our houses, goods, all our
furniture and clothes. I estimate my
personal loss at a million of florins. My
wife asks you to remember us in your
prayed.
An injudicious burglar worked five
hours one night last, week, burrowing
into one of the railroad buildings at
Chester, and after he had effected an
entrance, exhausted, perspiring, and
profane, he had his choice of stealing a
hai d car or a disabled freight car truck.
Long, long hours after he had passed out
of sight down the railroad track the
people of Chester could hear him swear.—
Burlington Hawk-Eye.
The Realistic Indian Drama,
The Hayden surveying party to the
Bad lands lately met Oregon Bill (W. J.
Speck), no relation to Buffalo Bill (W.
Cody.) The two Bills are, however,
enough alike to be twin brothers. Oregon
Bill told one of the party, among other
backwoods talk, about his first ex
perience with au Indian show at Leaven
worth City some years ago. The au
dience upon that occasion got scared
aud all cleared out of the house and ran
home, feeling for their top hair. It is
probably well they did if Oregon Bill’s
story m to be relied on. He says:
“We had had no rehearsal, and when the
hour arrived we knew no more what the
Indians would do than the audience. But
I went behind the scenes and told them
to go out aud do their best. At the given
signal they went hooting and yelling on
the stage, and commenced a war dance.
They had three fresh scalps, which they
had captured from another tribe a few
days before, and as they progressed in
the dance and grew excited they flourish
ed their tomahawks and knives, and flung
the scalps into the air, cutting at them
with their weapons as they descended, and
licking them with their tongues whenever
they could get them in their hands. At
length they got worked up to such
a pitch of excitement that, forgetting for
the time where they were, they leaped
clear over the orchestra aud ran yelling
aud whooping up and down the aisles.
The audience were so frightened that
most of them ran out of the house, and
we were rather scared ourselves, as we
did not know how the thing would end.
Two of us ran out on the stage and
shouted and gesticulated until we were
tired, without any effect, when one of
the squAws came out and told us to let
them have it out or they might do some
damage. This was the last night we gave
a performance without a rehearsal, for
the Indians told, us they thought they
were to do just as they had done.”
That must have been a very lively and 1
life-like Indian performance. It was
worth the money to get away from it.
Oregon Bill is to exhibit a party of Kaw
Indians at the Philadelphia Centennial.
Some of the Europeans to be present,
would be infinitely amused witli another
just such a scene as that at Leavenworth.
—St. Louis Republican.
A Wild Human.—The Austin, Texas,
Statesman says: A gentleman arrived from
Marcos yesterday and brought the news
of the capture of a wild boy a few miles
from that place. The boy was first dis
covered wallowing in a pond of shallow
water, and when approached he broke
like a quarter-horse, running about a mile
before he could be overtaken by men on
ponies. Riding up near, the boy was
lassooed, when a fierce contest ensued,
the strange being striking, kicking and
lunging about in the most fearful man
ner, and apparently being frightened
almost to death. Finally he was over
powered, tied, and taken to the house of
tne man who first discovered him. His
body was covered with hair about four
inches long, and from size and appear
ance he is supposed to be about twelve
years old. He is unable to talk but pos
sesses reasoning power, and now follows
his cuptor about like a dog.
