The cow question is, it is said, soon to be
tested iu the courts of Augusta. There are
rumors that two suits for damages are to be

in the case of Mary G. Rivers, the little
seven-year-old child, who was severely in
jured some months ago, in which damages
are set to the amount of $30,000. The other
is an action against the owner of the cow
for damages to the extent of $10,000.

According to the Augusta Chronicle “Ne-
pves from the vicinity of Moore’s lagoon,
jn«t below that city, report that a large pan
ther is roaming about that section. A day
or two since it walked into a farm yard
where a negro who had just received his
rations was standing. As soon as the nenro
saw the animal he dropped his provisions
ind ran. The panther picked up the meat
and trotted olT into the woods. Several
colored people say they have seen the pan
ther. The question naturally arises‘where
did it come from?’ ”

As an instance of the powerful effeet of
superstition on the average negro’s mind,
the Washington Gazette states that out in
Freeumcnsville lives an old negro tnau,
named Adam Combs, who is in a very des
titute condition. For some time he had
been living in a sort of tent made of an old
blanket, having no house. All the while he
prayed that it. would not rain uutii the peo
ple gave him a house to live iu. Believing
that his prayer was having the desired ef
fect, the negroes weut to work to build him
a house, tinishiag it on last Saturday. “But,
uufortunately,” says the Gazette, “the house
caught on lire from a 6toye, on Monday,
and burned to the ground. We don’t know
what will he done about the matter now.”

Atlanta Dispatch: “Yesterday when one
of the trains on the Georgia Railroad was
nearing Decatnr three young colts, who
were on tho track, endeavored to escape by
climbing up the embankment and jumping
the barbed wire fence with which the rail
roads are now enclosing their tracks. Two
of them escaped, but the third became en
tangled or fastened, and could not be extri
cated until Major Houston and others pulled
him from the wires by main force. He was
terriblylacerated, and it is feared will not
live. The Georgia Railroad has only one
side of their track protected by this wire
fence, and the question now comes up
whether or not the road cannot be made to
pay damages. The colt is of Morgan stock,
and of course valuable.”
Augusta News: “Since Messrs. G. P. Curry
and James A. Gray have purchased Sim
mons’ Thread Factory, just above the old
powder mills Bite on the canal, they have
been arranging for a laree and handsome
extension. These arrangements are now
complete, and work will soon commence on
the factory. The name of the manufactory
will be the ‘Summerville Mills,’ and the
plans drawn by Mr. R. M. McGrath, archi
tect, show a building 200x50 feet, with two
stories, basement and handsome tower. The
extension will be one bnndrcu feet, and an
other story the whole length of the building.
The same machinery will be kept in the
building now ta nse, and the same stuffs
manufactured, but the new part of the fac
tory Will turn out regular cotton goods.
These mills will increase the manufacturing
interests of Augusta, and their establish
ment by the enterprising gentlemen in
charge is hailed with pleasure among the
more Important enterprises of this great
manufacturing city.”
Tlie Murderer Cox’s Virginia Ante;
- cedents.
Chastine Cox, the negro man arrested
in Boston for the murder of Mrs. Hull,
in New York, is quite well known in
Richmond, where liis wife and mother
are living, and have lived for the past
eight or ten years. Cox was raised by
Dr. Bryant, of Powhatan county, came
to Richmond soon after the war, and was
employed as a waiter at the Spotswood
Hotel until the burning of that bouse.
He left there about five years ago, and
went to New York. He married a
woman in Ricbmond, who was about
twenty-five years bis senior, shortly after
the burning ot the Spotswood Hotel.
The marriage ceremony was performed
by Rev. John Jasper, the colored minis
ter who gained such notoriety about
eighteen months ago in promulgation of
bis peculiar views about the solar sys
tem. The wife of the murderer joined
her husband in New York shortly after
his arrival there, but was by him repu
diated and the marriage denied. The
woman returned to Richmond, procured
the certificate of marriage, went back to
ifery York and had her husband arrested
for desertion. In an interview with re
porters Wednesday Co^’s wife expressed
no regret at his arrest upon the grave
charge, and remarked that "me devil
was bound to get his dues. ”
The murderer's mother is a highly re
spectable old woman, a»d is employed
as a servant in the family of Gapf. John
g. Wise. When the arrest of her son
was announced to her Wednesday she
was utterly prostrated. -She wrote him
a letter a few weeks ago, begging him to
return here and let hex see him before
she died. This is the letter found on the
person of the accused when arrested in
Boston. ’
Dr. Bryant, who raised Cox until he
was sixteen, says he was not at all sur
prised to hear of his arrest upon such a
grave' charge, as he bad many times pre
dicted to his mother that he would he
hanged. The mother bears a striking
resemblance to Cox, as described by the
aes-'spsper accounts.

New Orleans, June 28.—The resolution
dered by the Constitutional Convention
adopted by a vote of S3 to 56. The com
tlon appointed a committee of five to ta’
tigatetbe charges of corruption ta relation
to the public debt, to the effect that mem
bers have been influenced ta casting their
votes by a desire to speculate ta bonds or
have been paid a price tor their votes.
In toe debate on the resolution prohlbl
toe payment ot July Interest, toe opi
tlon held that the convention had neither
power nor right to Interfere with the pro-
visions of the funding act or any other law
of the State, and that State officials would
be held responsible If they obeyed the order
of the convention and violated the taw.
Mr. Kidd, Chairman ot the Committee on
the State Debt, presented reports. The
majority report Is almost the same as the
former one, with the addition of one hundred
and thirty-six thousand dollars due the
Agricultural and Mechanical College. The
minority report recommends the payment
of the debt ta full with three per cent, in
terest for five years and four per cent, there
after. Another report recommends that the
debt question be left to the courts to decide.
The reports come np Monday noon as the
special order of the day.

town to the 10th of Jnne state that accord
ing to official account the Prince Imperial,
after the surprise of his reQonnoiterlng party,

patches. The body of the deceased Prince,
after the funeral parade, at which Lord
Chelmsford was chief mourner, was re
moved to Pietzimaritzburg, where it lay in

in a pool of blood, while her head, com
pletely severed from the body, was placed
in a basket close by, in which was found

THE SUPERIOR COURT RULES.
I stated ta my last letter that the Superior
Court Judges would not make any Impor
tant changes ta the old rules. One of fine
committee, a.very distinguished Judge, so
Informed me." It seems, however, that his
views did not prevail,and numerous changes
have been made, some few of which are Im
portant.
There is great need for less talk ta our
court rooms. Having attended the Cox-
Alston, the Hill-Slmmons, the Tye-Sparks
and other cases, I know the necessity for a
restriction ta the number of speakers and
the time allotted them. It Is rarely th| case
that each lawyer does not go over the same
ground and spend half bis time in"
talk for his own r
cannot afford this
fraternity, who can 1
display their thrilling eloquence.
A NEEDED REFORM.
In the Cox-Ataton esse Capt. Cox made a
clear and concise statement of his killing of
Col. Alston, and ta the Tye-Sparks case the
prisoner was very brief ta his statement of
facts.
But ta the Hill-Slmmons case the defend
ant occupied over an hour and a half ta his
statement to the jury, much of which was
simply an argument ta his own defense.
Judge Hillyer allowed him all the time he
desired and gave him full liberty of speech,
UDder the rules of the court.
As the taw now stands the Judge has no
power to limit either the time or the charac
ter of the speech of the prisoner. In one
case an accused occupied about four' hours
ta making his statement to’the’jury. It
does seem that the taw should be so amend
ed as tq confine the prisoner to a simple
statement qf tlie facts of the case, and for
bid his making an argument or appeal to
the jury, especially when he feas two or
three able lawyers to do that service for
him. The taw, I think, simply intended
that he should state facts known only to
himself, as justifying his action, but make
no appeal or argument.
BISHOP S. S. HARRIS.
It Is stated upon pretty good authority that
Rev. Samuel S. Harris, D. D., has consented
to be made Bishop of Michigan, to succeed
the unfortunate and venerable Samuel Allan
McCoskrey.
All the standing committees of the Pro
testant Episcopal Church will have to vote
upon the matter, so that his consecration
will not be ta order before September or Oc
tober. There Is, however, no reason why
any objection should fee u}»d§ fo fete nonsp-
oration ta due time.
The new Bishop is quite a young man, of
fine personal appearance, and most genial
and popular ta all tho walks of life. He
was born ta Autauga county, Ala., was bred
to the taw, but left It for the ministry, hav
ing been rector of churches ta Montgomery,
Ala., Columbus. Ga., New Orleans and
Chicago. When Illinois was divided, about
a year ago, into two dioceses, Rev. Dr.
Harris was elected Bishop of Quincy, bat
declined to accept. He now goes to one of
the oldest and most aristocratic dioceses ta
the country, and his host of Southern
friends will watch his future coferae with

It is a very easy matter to build railroads

Now if Charleston and Savannah were

As President Kimball thinks your

ground of truth. I most emphatically deny

Advocate* of Home Industry

and Finding Ready Sale*.
Letter to the N. T. Timet.
Greenville, S. C., Jnne 15.—The
advocates of Southern home industry are
justly elated over the gratifying reports
from the cotton mills in this State.
Despite the general depression in busi
ness from various causes, among them
yellow fever, last summer, the cotton
goods increased in quantity and im
proved in- quality, and found
ready sales. The chief obstacle in the
way of success was the scarcity of com
petent operatives, but with the aid of
a few taken from Northern mills, a
sufficient number of young native women
and men have been taught to feed and
direct the machines. Tber are furnished
with neat cabins in the vicinity of the
mills, and their pay ranges from twenty-
five cents to three dollars a day, accord
ing to their usefulness. The increase of
local sales is especially noteworthy. The
Piedmont Company’s books show the
following profits on sales for the fiscal
year ending March 31,1879: New York,
$9,401 58; Boston, yams, f10,619 64;
Baltimore, $7,180 12; local, $24,320 04;
all other sources, $5,163 46. This, in pro
portion to the size and capacity of the
other mills, is a fair exhibit for all A

We have just come into possession of
the facts of a remarkable circumstance
which occurred in this vicinity some time
since. A middle aged lady, who rerides
near Wellersville, Penn., a few miles
from this city, whose name is omitted by
request of friends, was afflicted with that
terrible disease, scrofula, the seat of the
disorder being in her head. She suffered
terrible agetay from the pressure of the
diseased cranium upon the brain; and ha
physician-decided that the only means of
relief was the removal of the top of her
skulL He never attempted the opera
tion, however, fearing she might die from
its effects.
The woman continued to suffer, and
her son, who was afflicted with the same
disease, determined to take the risk and
perform the operation. He was con
siderable of a mechanical genius, and he
soon constructed a fine saw for the par-
pose. the material used being wire from
an old hoop-skirt. After he had
the instrument, although he had no
surgical knowledge, he began the
tion of sawing through the skull at a
point about two inches below the sum
mit of the cranium. After working some
time at the operation the young man was
taken ill and died.
After hjs death the lady’s daughter, a
young lady of nineteen or twenty, de
cided to continue the work, and did so,
succeeding in removing the top of her
mother’s head, relieving the terrible pain
and probably saving her life. She was
occupied several days in the operation,
which was a delicate and dangerous one,
ordinarily only to be performed by the
most skillful surgeons. If the impro
vised instrument had been driven too
deep and penetrated the delicate covering
of the brain, instant death wonld have
resulted, aud that some accident of the
sort did not occur is one of tho most as-
tonishing facts about the matter. She
undertook the operation as a desperate
resort, and the exercise of nerve which
sustained her was wonderful.
.Once while working she fainted, and
frequently she would throw down the
saw, declaring she could go no farther.
Her mother, whose enormous will power
was not less wonderful, always urged
her to proceed, saying: “If lean stand
it you should do the same, as it is the
only way of saving my life.” No an
aesthetic was used, and tfee afflicted'
woman carefully watched and directed
the operation. As stated, instantaneous
relief followed the removal of the dis
eased bone, although the disease was
not eradicated. The removed bone
replaced by a silken cap, carefully fitted.
The operation was performed over six
months ago, and the lady was at last ac
counts alive and cheerful, though, of
course, confined to a limited sphere of
action. She took a very philosophical
view of the affair, and seems grateful
that relief was afforded, althoueh 3b?

A Child Falls Into a Bear Pit—Fears

It is well known among a certain class
that “Joe Beef ” has a bear pit under his

' all along under the house, and is reigned
over by a big black bear wffigfeing over
four hundred pounds." "There" are also a
sfee hear' and two comparatively young
dubs, which Joe reckons among his do
mestic pets. Strangers frequently visit
the place and are generally escorted to
see the bears through a trap door in the
floor. Yesterday afternoon, while a col
ored preacher was holding service in the
“singing room,” three American stran
gers came to visit the place, and the trap
door was thrown open to show the bears.
While Joe went into the fearjoom "his
little boy, six years-old, went too near
the edge and'feli into the den. The old
bears were in a dark corner, but one of
the cabs at once ran towards the cfefed,
who had uttered a frigfeteued seream.

him behind. In another instant he
handed the little fellow up among the

A manufacturer of cod-liver oil thus

while, the heroine, who has been drift
ing around during the foregoing scenes
with lots of good clothes on, marries the
miner, and the very first yank she gives
his hair after the honeymoon, out comes
the tack, which at once restores his
memory. The couple at once begin their
hunt for the villain, who is doing the
bonanza business on the Continent under
an assumed name. After a weary
search through Europe and the third
and fourth sets, the miner bethinks
him that all shoddy Americans call ‘on
the Pope, and so proceeds to Rome and
sts in the Swiss Guards, who are al
ways on duty during receptions at the
Vatican, In the last act the Pope
ters and begins to “recap.” “Hats off I”
howls the Captain of the Guards to the
usual gang of velvet-vested Americans
who are eating peanuts and talking
stocks on one ride of the room. All
comply but one. The Captain details
the new recruit to knock this one down
with his halberd. To avoid being ham
mered as specified, the obstinate individ
ual reluctantly takes off his hat. He feas
considerable hair on his feead, how
ever, and the miner is again disheart
ened. When the Pope passes by the
rude stranger, instead of bowing low
like the rest of the lfeie, he sun;
iys “Howdy, fiua >” without bending
his feead, This again excites the aven
ger’s suspicions, and he goes out on tip-
toe, returning presently from r. u. e.
with a stepladder, which he softly places
against a pillar behind the suspected
man and then climbs up so as to have a
bird’s eye view of the top of his head.
In a small bald spot in the centre he be
holds a blue square marked “No. 46,
combativeness,” and a picture of two
prize-fighters. “At last!” shrieks the
miner, jumping down on the prisoner’
head with his boots, qffil the play ends
with the Yilflffit being dragged off to
execution, while the whole company
dances in front-of the footlights as the
curtain goes down, with the calcium cut

Charles Dichkns’ Home.—Gads Hill
[Hape is now for sale. He bought it
ior $8,950, but Improved it so much
that it will bring five times that sum.
When he died, a reserve price of $50,-
000 was put on the property, at which
price it was secured by his eldest
son, Charles, who now offers it
to the highest bidder. In addi
tion to the - associations connected
with it, Dickens practically rebuilt the
house, and added considerably to the
"finally pertaining to it. Among
many other things which Dickens did
for the house was to make a well, the
progress of which was somewhat a se
rious matter far him. He used to say,
“It is quite a railway terminus; it is so
iron and so big.” Dickens made nnder-
neath the road the famous tunnel which
connected his lawn with tho shrubbery,
in which was placed th'e still more fa
mous chalet presented to him by Mr.
Fechter. Up to the last Dickens was
improving his beloved residence. Tlie
last thing he did was to build a con-
servatory, and it was offiy on the Sun
day before his (fcatb that' he had the

After an Immense Fortune.—Ex-
Governor W. F. M. Amy, of New
Mexico, has arrived in New York, on his
way to England, with proofs of his kin
ship with the Hyde brothers, whose'im
mense property has for so many years
been a bone of contention between the
rightful heirs aud the British crown.
The Ijord High Chancellor of England
rendered a decision this year in reference
to the Hyde estate, that it is in the nature
of personal property and not real estate,
and hencq properly falls to the descend
ants instead of reverting to the crown.
Ex-Governor Amy has hunted up twenty-
five heirs besides himself, and instead of
trying to limit the number by maintain
ing a deal of secrecy about the matter,
announces that he will endeavor to
secure an equal division among all
descendants v Tho come forward and
clearly prove their titles. The value of
this prospective windfall is a trifle of
$150,000,000, the accumulatfeffl of scores
of years of interest and judicious invest
ment fey the Bank of England. Ex-
Governor Amy is a native of George
town, D. C., but since ffis twentieth
year has made feia home on the Western
frontier.
Queen Victoria’s present to the Em
peror and Empress of Germany an the
occasion of their golden wedding was a
beautiful majolica tray two feet in
diameter, described as follows: The
ground work is composed of gold of
such richness that the cupids and floral
emblems, which are painted au nature!,
look as if they were raised on a back
ground of beaten geld. The central part
of the plateau is filled with the arras, on
separate oval shields, of the Emperor
and Empress, surrounded by the Im
perial crown. The border is composed
of a wreath of cupids holding garlands
of orange flowers and myrtle tied to
gether with turquo>e@ ribbons. These
seem to spring from a seated cupid be-
low. holding m bis arms a tablet, on
which is inscribed the date, “IUNI11,
1879,” while in the centre of the wreath
above are entwined the initials ' < W.~AL,”
painted in forget-me-aoU and roses.
