Waynesboro True Citizen : It is com
monly believed that a “jew-clawed” dog
cannot be killed by the bite of the most
poisonous snake. The “jew claw” is a
claw, or superfluous toe, which grows on
the leg of a dog some distance above the
foot, but we can’t find the word in any
dictionary we have vet been able to lav
our hands upon, and doubt that it is a
good English word.

A gentleman in Greensboro witnessed,
during tbe cold snap a few weeks ago, a
r markable exhibition of affection of a oat
r ber offspring. lie says: “A mother |
cat brought to the dwelling from an out.
building a youug kitten which was cold
nd almost in a dying condition. She
placed her charge near the lire as tender
ly as a mother would handle her infant,
and would turn it about wit h the seeming
desire to warm It back to life. 'The Kitten
finally died—the mother cat’s efforts to
bring it back to life failing—and it was re
moved and buried out of ber sight. Sue
t once brought in a second one, and aft"r
treating it as the llrst, succeeded in reviv
ing it and saving its life. During her
efforts she would look up into tbe face ol ]
fbe lady of the bouse, and by a whine
would seem to implore assistance in pre- I
•erving its life. YVhenever the kitten was (
removed to its former place of rest tbe j
mother would take it by the neck and j
bring it hack to the (ire and endeavor to I
warm it. This was one of the most strik- i
log instances of I he maternal instinct as- j
sorting Itself among the lower animals .
that I ever witnessed.”

„ The presbytery of East Florida met at
San Mateo last Wednesday. The Rev.

The business was principally ot a routine
character. New organizations were re

From the Tooeoa (Ga.y Hows.
“What is a blind tiger?” many readers
of the News will ask themselves this
question.
Blind tiger 1
They say it’s in Toccoa.
Is it?
We don’t know. If It is, it must be
driven out. If the wild tiger that roams
the jungles were in Toccoa, everybody
would unite to slay him. The “blind
tiger” Is a far worse enemy of the human
race.
THEN LET HIM BE CRUSHED.
The blind tiger is a place where men,
under cover of darkness, or behind the
door, who tear not God nor respect man,
nor man’s laws, illegally, in defiance of
the law and the will of tne people, sell:
The Red-Eye Tangle Foot,
The Brain-Breaker,
The Soul Killer,
Poverty Drops, .
Crime’s Cousin,
Character Crusher,
Money Eater,
Maniac Maker.
Red-eyed Sin and Cross-eyed Infamy.
The English alphabet can spell but one
word which this can mean. That word is
WHISKY.
The blind tiger then is where whisky is
secretly kept aad illegally sold. Often,
but lew know where to find the nlind
tiger. But there is always something iu
the shape ot a man wno kuows where the
blind tiger is whet will bring the
LIQUID FIRE AND DISTILLED DAMNATION
We say, enforce the law, without the least
respect of persons.
It is the duty of every civnl officer to
enforce the law.
It is the duty of every good citizen to
aid in enforcing tbe law.
Tne blind tiger, If there is such a three
headed, forked tongue, horned beast in
Toccoa, secreted in some unsuspected
place, licking its bloodv tongue over our
people, will some day be caught.
It will some day be punished.
What is the punishment?
The owner of a blind tiger can be put in
jail six months, confined at hard labor in
the chain-gang twelve months and fined
SI,OOO.
Judge Estep will be apt to send the fel
low to the chain-gang who violates the
law by keeping a blind tiger.
Tbe Losses of Court..
From the Hamilton ((da.) Journal.
A member of our local bar has likened
the effect of no aourt upon his interests
to a six weeks drought upon a field of
young corn just silking and tasseling.
Few of our people had ever before had oc
casion to estimate the money value of
court week to the town, but the more we
think of it now the more we feel we have
lost. Not a tew men upon the juries had
calculated trppn tbe payment of little
debts with their per diem. Bailiffs had
made likecalculations and both are dis
appointed. Lawyers who expected cases
to end, iu which they had fees locked up,
hotel and beard ing-bouse keepers who ex
pected to entertain crowded houses, mer
chants who expeoted larger sales, beef,
butter, eggs and chicken folks, and youug
arabs who earn an honest penny holding
horses, all alike are disappointed, as are
those who expected something out of tbe
court through these more closely allied in
terests. The newspaper man, too. always
looks lor a lucky shilling at court, and
bis feelings are those of the tanner who
sees a crop ready for harvesting destroyed
before bis eves. Collections are short
ened or delayed, job printing is lost aud
advertising patronage is cut off in many
wavs. Tbe truth ie, Hamilton in her
every interest leels as if overtaken by a
dry drought, by a failure of the Superior
Court to hold its April term. The cause
was providential, however, and it is use
less to repine. Tbe money may be turned
into other channels, but if we work and
wait it may yet reach us, and come in
larger volume. All things come to the
man woo waits.
I lot urr>*‘<l to ils Owner.
From tits I'rrry (©.) Journal,
Several week* ago we published in the
Home Journal a statement to the effect
that Mr. Thomas S. Qammage, of Perry,
had in bis possession a Now Testament
that was taken from a knapsack picked
up on the battlefield of Ouluste, Kla., dur
ing the war b<d.vvweu the States. The
name Chester M. Spra-ae is inscribed on
the fly leaf ol the TWmmM, and it was
so stated in this paper. Tuesday Mr.
Gamma ue showed us a letter from Mr.
Chester M. Sprague, of Boeton. Mass., an
nouncing himself tbe owner of the Testa
ment. The item pubtwtoed in the Home
Journal was copied mto tbe Boston 11fr
ont, and thus came to tbe notice of Mr.
Sprague. With t/he letter Mr. Sprague
sent a woodcut likeness of himself which
proclaimed a rattier handsome man of
middle age. Mr. Sprague Is anxious to
again possess tbe Testament, and Mr.
Oammage will forward tt at once. No
doubt tuutdi loving memory clusters
around tbis relic of the war, and the
heart of its former owner will be made
glad by regaining it, while Mr. Gam
mage cbeerluMy relinquishes the treas
ured memento.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, APRIL 20, 1886.
An Old Relic.
From the Pensacola (Fla). Commercial.
Recently wo were shown by Mr. F. E.
de laßua a copy of the Pensacola Ad
vance and West Florida Advertiser, an
issue of Aug. 10, 1825, edited by W. Ha.
sell Hunt, at a subscription price of $5 a
year. We noticed a Sheriffs sale signed
by W. Davison, Sheriff ol the oottO|ty-
Robert Mitchell was Postmaster of JVhi
sacoia then, and the mail was carried
overland to Tallahassee semi-weekly. A.
tV. Hamilton was collector ot customs In
that year; the clerk ol the court of Jbek
son county was Thos. H. Hall; Cfnpdfa
being tbe seat ot justice instead of Mari
anna as it now is.
The Board of Health issues a proclama
tion of that date, Aug. 10, 1825, in whioh
is embodied the resolution “that all ves
sels arriving at this port from the Cities
of Mobile and New Orleans afte!* 1 ? that
date (Aug. 10) shall be subjected to‘ R Quar
antine fifteen days, including the upst
age; and that it shall be the duty of
masters of vessels, if required by the
health officer, to cause the hatches to be
taken off and the cargo exposed to the air
before leaving the grounds.” John
de laßua, father of our present clerk
of the oourt was Vice President of tbe
Board.
It quotes beef at 6>*c. butter at 12Xc.
collards per stalk 6Xc.and gourds at6’ ,o.
apiece. Gophers were not quoted as they
were not discovered until 1810 and then
in Walton county near thesootjwhere de-
Funiak Springs is now situated. Irish
potato crops were then common instead
of the LeConto pear, and pecan orchards,
as now, and were “purchased with eager
ness at $2 a barrel,” eagerness, we pre
sume, being current as money. It also
contained the following notice’ from an
old soldier:
INFORMATION NEEDED BY AN OLD
SOLDIER.
The undersigned served in the Revolu
tionary war in tne Virginia in the
month of February, 1777, in Capt. Hold
‘man Rice’s Cos., to guard the troops of
Gen. Burgoyne, who were prisoners of

eight months, when he was transferred
to Capt. Merriweathor’s company where
he served 15 months. Col. Francis Taylor
commanded the regiment while he was in
the service; and be was honorably dis
charged May 2,1771 b He was also at the
siege of Yorktewu. If there is any per
son still alive who ean prove his service,
he hopes they will give information. Mr.
Wm. Roundtree and Mr. Daniel lvneeves,
who a few years ago lived In Mercer
county, Ky., were in the same company
with him, but he cannot learn where they
have removed to. From bis age and help
less situation he needs the friendly as
sistance of his country.
Information will be communicated to

Curious Facts for Curious People.

A square yard ol gold is estimated at
£2,000,000, which it is in round numbers.
This being true, all the goid iu the world
might, if melted into bars or ingots, be
contained in a cellar 24 feet square and 16
feet deep. If so, the VHlueof all the avail
able gold upon the earth is not largely in
excess of £3,000,000,000.
Some writer upon the value of different
substances in their crudity, bas this to
say of a pound of pig-iron that, in its crude
state, would cost the manufacturer about
5 cents. This can be converted into steel
of which is made the little sprill spring
that moves thf! jialauce wheel ol a watch.
Each one of these, springs weighs but the
tenth part of a grain, aud when comple
ted, may be sold as high as $3 each. So
that out of a pound of iron, allowing some
thing for the loss of metal, 80,000 of these
watch springs may be made, and a sub
stance worth, in Us crude state, but 5
cents be wrought into a value of $240,-
000.
A gentleman visiting Manchester, Eng.,
says that a pound of cotton, which in its
crude state would be valued at about 8
cents, was pointed out to him as worth a
pound of gold. That farmer’s pound of
cotton had been spun Into a thread so fine
that it would go round the globe at the
equator and tie in a good large knot of
many hundred miles in length.
Among the many wonderful products
at one time exhibited at tbe French Crys
tal Palace was a lock which admitted of
3,674,385 combinations. Heuret, an inge
nious Frenchman, passed 120 nights be
lore he succeeded in locking it, and Fitch
et, another Johnny C’rapeau, was four
months and lour days in unlocking it.
Now neither ot them can shut or open it.
Such arc fas wonders of the nineteenth
century mechanism aud modern appli

Some of the Fruits.
From the Athene (Oaj Banner- Watchman.
A gentleman who owns land over the
river, while strolling around his posses
sions afewdayssinoe.happenedupon two
indolent darkies of whom he inquired why
they were not at work.
“Well, boss,” replied one of them, “we’s
jest waitin’ to see how dese yer things
gwine ter turn out.”
‘•What things?” inquired the gentle
man.
“Dis yer fust ’twixt de workin’ man
and dem railroads out yonder in de Wess,”
replied the darkey.
“Well.” said the gemtleman, “whathave
you to do with that?”
“Why, boss, we done heard dat ir work
in’ wen kits de bes’ of it, dat (ley gwine
ter take all de railroads, and all us work
in’ men kin ride whar we wants ter free,
; and me and dis yer gem man war jes’ talk
in’ ’bout wiiar we’d go dis summer.”
“You’ll just about go as tar as Jim
Smith’s if you keep on your speculations
in that line,” remarked the gentleman, as
he started off, and we are much of the
same opinion.

party on a hailing frolic down the river,
and while near Bloody Bluff, be and Mr.

the woods, and while wand.-rlng about
came upon a cabin that seemed to have
been built mauy years ago. Grass and
weeds bad grown up over the steps, ns if
no one ever visited it. Peeping fn. to their
surprise, they sw cooking utensils and a
bed tumbled as though It bad been used
the previous night. This was a mystery
they had tried every way to solve, until
at last they found sn old gentleman who
told them that about two vears before, a
man, with hi* wife and three children,
from, he knew not where, came there,
built the house and started to work, hut

cpptUigthe terms of his proclamation to
lay tluwu arms and free his negroes.' Jore
was then in the cavalry company of Capt.
Willfauis, but the luiou sentiments he
beiiV before the war were maintained
during the war. Since tbe war he has
been a Republican, and, while we differ
vvi’chliiin In politics, We must admit that

exhibited. Following is the letter:
Wilmington, n. c., Nov. 18,1863.,

United States'.
Desk Sir: I have just seen yoif rec
lamation to the rebels in artnsagaiust the
said government, asking them to lay
down their arms of defense and remain in
the Union, as 1 think we should do,
though the negro would lie freed, but the
government should pay $330 a head lor
them.
Now, sir, I am a Southern man and a
South Carolinian, and for the love 1 hold
lor tbe Union of the United States, I tor
one accept youf proposition, believing as
1 do it is the best thing wo could do under
present circumstances.
i have eight negroes—Jim. 18 years
old; Harriet, 16: Martha, 18; Violet, 22;
Mary. 26, and three children from 2 to 6
year old.
Now, sir, in consideration of your propo
sition, I do grant, bargain and’ sell to the
said government, these eight negroes, to
gether with all the right und title 1 hold
in them. Ido further bind myself, iny
executors, my administrators and heirs
to warrant and defend the same against
any one claiming any one of them or all
to the said government. This is given
under my own band and seal this 18th
day of November, 1863, in the presence of
100 witnesses. Jeremiah Looper,

Forty Years a Sufferer from
CATARRH!
WONDERFUL TO RELATE.
For forty years I have been a victim to Ca
tarrh—ibree-fourths of the time, a sufferer
from excruciating pains across mv forehead
and my nostrils. The discharges were so
offensive that 1 hesitate to mention it. except
for the good it may do some other sufferer. I
have spent a youug fortune from my earnings
during my forty years of suffering to obtain
relief from the doc lews. I have tried patent
medicines—everv one I could learn of—from
the four corners of the earth, with no relief.
And at last (57 years of age} have met with a
remedy that has cured mo entirely—made me
Ssncw man. I weighed 128 pounds and now
weigh 146. I used thirteen bottles of the
medicine, and the only regret 1 have is that
being in the humble walks of life 1 may not
have influence to prevail on all catarrh suffer
ers to use whai has cured me.
