ATTACKED BY ANTS.
Narrow Etcapn of Farmer from Being
Bitten to Death.
Dayton, 0., July 28.—Mr. Isaiah Burn
cralt, a farmer living near Charabersburg,
a small country village a few miles from
here, had a most wonderful experience
to-tiay, narrowly escaping being killed by
ants. lie was picking blackberries in a
wild patch of undergrowth in n dense
wood, when suddenly he disturbed mil
lions upon millions of la'ge, black ants.
They were under a thin covering of earth,
which he stepped on, and almost instantly
they craw led up his pantaloons’ legs, amt
when he tried to knock them off showed
light. Before he could get out of the
heavy growth of brush he was covered
from head to foot with the pestiferous
ants. They bit him arid crawled into his
nose, ears and mouth. 11 <■ yelled for help,
but soon In ■earns blinded with tho myriads
of ante on his head and lace, and before
he reached tho edge of tao wood fell
helpless to the ground, utterly at the
mercy of the ants, and was only saved
evidently from death by the timely ar
rival ut his brothrr.
The insects were the common black of a
very large size. Hurncralt was bitten by
them all over the body, and, while very
s ire, it is thought, providing the bites are
not poisonous, will recover. The case is
without a precedent in this section of the
country, and, it is believed, had not aid
iarrived when it did the ants would have
not only killed, but eaten, their victim.

I-EO’B ALLOCUTION.
Government Occupation of the Holy
City Protested Against.
Rome, July 30. —The papal allocution
delivered during the consistory to-dav
condemns the Indian government for its
action in prohibiting the public carrying
of the sacrament through the streets to
the sick, and for permitting the assem
blage in Rome of the anti-olerical con
gress recently held in the holy city. It
also renews the papal protest against tho
government’s occupation of the city of
Home. The Pope regrets French obstruc
tion, which, he says, has increased the
difficulties with France. He says that
although Rome has maintained a concil
iatory attitude during the progress of the
negotiations with Russia, they have
proved resultless.

ister of Columbus, anil W. B. Hill,
of Macon, to escort the Hon.
Mr. Pringle to tho rostrum, where
he was introduced to the convention. He
responded In an appropriate manner. As
Mr. Pringle closed hi* remarks the Grand
Worthy Chief Templar stated that the
grander the effort, put forth by the honor
able gentleman, Mr. Pringle, in his efforts
to secure tbo Htate local option on the
liquor question the good people all over
the State apppraciated him more.
PRESENTED WITH A CANE.
The pood Christian woman prayed for
the success of his efforts. The Good
Templar order, of which ho is an honored
member, applauded his efforts, and they
intended to bold up bis hands in all his
laudable efforts to put down the liquor

A BEAUTIFUL RESPONSE.
Mr. Pringle, though taken by surprise,
responded beautifully and feelingly He
was loudly applauded a9 he closed.
At the morning session the following
resolutions were offered by AY. G. Solo
mon, and were adopted by a rising vote:
In the language of the eminent Episcopal
Bishop of Georgia, “the fires of intemperance
would soon die out if ive could only save tho
children." As to the duty of saving the chil
dren from the terrible curse of intoxicating
drink, there is no difference of opinion. The
liquor sellers want no liquor buyers in their
own families. They want their children tem
perate. Many States of the Union. Including
the great .States of New York and Pennsylva
nia. have recently passed a law requiring the
true chemistry of intoxicants to be taught in
the public schools.
NBfCDKD IN GEORGIA.
The Women’s Christian Temperance Union
of Georgia lias presented to the General As
sembly the same wise and salutary measure.
As Elizabeth Cleveland recently wrote, "the
cry of a woman’s heart is more powerful than
the argument of men.” The petition for this
measure is the voice of the Rachel* of onr
land weeping for children that have been lost,
and pleading fur those wbo are left, and for
the generation yet unborn. In the name of
humanity and morality, not to say religion,
will not. true men heed the behest of the
mothers of our State?
DOUBT OUT OF THE QUESTION.
To doubt it would be to condemn; be it
therefore
Resolved. by the Grand Lodge of Good Tem
plars of the State of Georgia, That we re
spectfully urge the General Assembly to pass
the bill providing for education in the public
school on alcohol and hygiene, and the citi
zens of Macon, assembled with the Grand
Lodge, earnestly urge our immediate Repre
sentatives to use their influence in aiding the
passage of the measure.
Resolved, also, That a copy of these resolu
tions be transmuted to Hon. W. .1. Northed
ami C. R. Pringle, the chairmen respectively
of the temperence. committees of the Senate
and House, and also to the Representatives of
Bibb county.
An afternoon session was held, and the
convention adjourned to-night to meet in

AN UNWRITTEN CHAPTER.
Mr. Depew Speak* Stilt Mysteriously of
that Important Kvent In Gen. Grant’s
Life.
From the New York World.
Mr. Chauncey M. Depew’s statement at
the Grant memorial exercises ot the
Chamber oi Commerce on Monday?
that there is connected with tlio
dead General’s name a chapter of un.
written history of the greatest import to
the republic, has encited curiosity. Mr.
l)epew said that there was a crisis’ at the
close of the war when, but tor Gen.
Grant’s firmness, the country might have
again been plunged into civil strife.
“1 do not think the time has come for
me to explain just what I hinted at,” said
Mr. Depow yesterday. “That chapter of
history of the close of the war
should not be ’ left unrecorded.
But there are others who have un
doubtedly been told the same story.
Some of the intimate friends ot the
General, Mr. Conkling.Gen. Sharpe, Gen.
Kadeau, and others, would be as likely to
know of it as myself, who was never, in
any sense, his intimate. I prefer to wait
some time before repeating the story as it
was told to me, but If no one else shall
write it then I will
Mr. Depew would give no intimation as
to what tho mysterious incident really
was. He was asked if it involved an ex
planation of the question ot veracity be
tween President Johnson and Gen. Grant
in connection with the position of Secre
tary of War and tho proposed removal of
Stanton.
“That is not the incident to which I re
fer,” was the response. “It concerns
those troublous times when there was a
change of administration. Had it not
been for Gen. Grant’s prompt action the
incident would undoubtedly have been
attended by tragic results.” Nor, he said,
did the revelation refer to the electoral
commission controversy.
When asked how it happened that he
became the repository of a secret ot so im
portant a character, Mr. Depew related
the following:
“Three years or more ago I was one of
the guests at a private dinner party Gen.
Grant was also present, and we were
seated side by side. 1 had rnet him fre
quently ut dinner parties and in a social
way, but our relations had been some
what strained because ot my attitude to
wards the third serm movement. But on
the occasion referred to he was very
friendly. By the time the cloth was re
moved and cigars wore reached the con
versation drifted, first from one topic to
another At length he told me the story
in question, nr.d 1 asked him why it hail
never been made public. He assigned as a
reason a possibility of bitter controversy
that would be aroused, as many of those
who would have been opposed to mm
were still alive. Nevertheless, he said he
might yet write it. We met frequently after
that, but l never referred to the subject
again until during bis last illness. Only
a short time ago I had an extended inter
view with him—l think, perhaps, one of
the last long talks he had with any
one before his voice failed him.
I found him depressed in spirits.
He told me he was doomed. I spoke to
him about his work on the autobiography.
He said it was praotically finished, and
all that remained to be done was In the
way of revision The General deplored
the fact that his condition would not per
mit of his treating some matters
more thoroughly. I then reminded
him of the special incident I have spoken
of, and he remembered the conver
sation with me very distinctly. When 1
Inquired if he had incorporated the story
in nis'Reminiscences’ he answered that
he had not. ‘General’ i remarked, ‘I
doubt if there is anything in your book so
interesting as that would prove to be.’
•Perhaps not,’ he answered and pro
ceeded to explain that it
had been his intention to write of it
fully. There were mßiiy things be
had left unaccomplished and others had
been passed over hurriedly. He regretted
that his work had not been more complete
and thorough. As to this particular
thing, there was no injunction
of secrecy imposed, else I would never
have mentioned it In my remarks
yesterday. What surprises me is that
some of his friends who no doubt have
full knowledge of it have not told the
story before this. As I have said, 1 may
lake it upon myself to write It as he told
it to me. that is, if the public are curious
concerning it.”
Faith Cures.
“ Tattler ” tn Cnrtersrllle Ameriean.
The lawyer sat In the court house. A
Bible was in his hand. A clouded and
perplexed look was on his face. “Why is
it,” he said, “that so many people laugh
at those who profess to believe in ‘faith
cure,’ and call them wild tanatics. You
just listen to tho reading of this verso in
the Bible and if tt don’t teach faith cute I
wish you’d tell me what it does teach, 'ls
any sick among you? Let him call for the
elder* of the church; and let them pray
over him, anointing him with oil in the
nsmo of the Lord. And the prayer of
faith shall save tlio nick, and the Lord
shall raise him up, and if he have commit
ted sins they shall be forgiven him,
Now,” he continued, "if this dictum of the
highest court known to human irtolll
gone* lias not been reversed, set aside or
overruled. I am at a loss to know how the
scoffers at faith cure are going to get over
this decision. Seems to me the authority
is squarely in point sr.d settles the matter
In favor of the faith cure believers.”
