J- Tooke was dragged to death by a mule near Perry a lew days ago. The un fortunate man had become entangled in the harness while attempting to dis mount. During the last six months of the pres ent year the United States government will spend $75,000 in Atlanta. An aver age of $12,500 a month. The money will se expended on the United States bar tacks. It is estimated at Baxley that on ac count of changing the gauge of the rail roads it will be about 15 days before the mills that accept contracts to deliver lumber can do so promptly. Therefore it is possible that they may shut down for at ieast two weeks, or until about June 15. * The bootblacks of Baxley are now re quired to pay a license of $1 per month to pf r their trade. This is done partly on account of so many of them being ou the streets, crowding around people and yell ing “shine” uutil they have become a nuisance. About six or seven have paid the license. Captain William Taylor died at his resi dence in Hawkinsville Wednesday after an illness of several days. Captain Tay lor was 76 years of age. and was one of the oldest residents of Hawkinsville. Be fore the war, and for a short time since, he was engaged in runnmc boat# be tween Hawkinsville and Savannah. It. D. Smith, of Douglasville, was mar ried to Miss Sallie Lowe, of Mabieton, at that place Tuesday. Wednesday Mrs. Smith, through mistake, drank an ounce of spirits of turpentine, which immedi ately threw her into convulsions, which continued lor seven hours, and was still in a very dangerous condition at last ac counts. At Butler, Wednesday, while Mrs. C. C. West was feeling in her husband’s vest pockets for a match, a rattlesnake meas uring over two feet in length dropped out. The liniog was torn, and it is thought that the snake was coiled under it. Col. West thinks it got into his pock et while he was out fishing over two weeks ago. Anew steamboat is to be placed upon the Coosa river. The boat will be a stern wheel, 165 feet long and will hauve a ca pacity to carry 200 tons. The speed of the boat up stream will be 12 miles per hour and do wn 20 miles. She will have three boilers made of steel is feet long, 42 inches in diameter and steam capacity of 173 pounds to the square inch. At Rome Wednesday the beer war was tarried into the retail trade by one house Hooding the town with dodgers announc ing a reduction ol beer to lc. per glass. This is the Hrst cut by any retailer, and whether or not .. *•■”! be met by the other bouses remains tt- be seen. 'There is now very little beer handed over most of the counters, as those who drink it have been buying it by the keg. The great consump tion of this has greatly lessened the calls for whisky. A negro ciri by the name of Lottie Stew art, employed as a cook In W. H. Ham mond’s family at Jackson, poisoned the coffee for breaktaßt, 'Wednesday by put ting matches in tbecoffee pot. Mr. Ham mond and his wife noth partook of the coffee and were poisoned, and both are quite sick from its effects. Mrs. Ham mond is under medical treatment, having partaken of tbecoffee more freely than her husband. The girl was arrested aud committed to jail. An old lady by the name of Miss Ca milla Floyd, who was sent from Butts county about twelve years ago to the asylum at Mllledgeville, has been returned to Butts county as a harmless lunatic, and is now in jail at Jackson. She says that she has a sister living near Indian Springs, also one living in Vinevill Macon.and that she would know them if "he sou and see them. She remembers all about Indian Springs, and going to the asylum, and that it was wrong to send her there. She seems to be perfectly harm less, andanxioustosce her people. Thursday night, as Alex. Herrington, of Sylvania, was returning to his home from the court, night came on before he reached there, and as he was walking along the road within 200 yards of Ins house he was startled by the whiz ol something which brushed hts leg and came near upsetting him. By the peculiar noise which fol lowed he at once recognized the fact that he and gone uncomfortablv near a huge alligator, which was occupying the high way just at that time. Calling for a ne gro, which wus employed by him, he pro curer) a light and his shotgun, and dis patched the monster which measured 9 <eet and 7 inches iu lengtn. FLORIDA.

Mr. Richardson contemplates a series of revival services in the Methodist Episcopal church at Waldo at an early day. Rev. J. L. Lyons has been conducting a senss of very Interesting services in the Presbyterian church at Haw thorne. The business of the Palatka post office last Tuesday was just three times as great as that done on the corresponding dav last year. Three hundred partridges and seventy five ducks are claimed to have been killed reoently in Escambia county by a party of hunters. Nineteen new dwellings and business houses have been and are in course ot con struction in Titusville within the past few months. The Gem City Guards, of Palatka, are busily drilling twice a week, getting ready for the forthcoming encampment at Pablo beach. It is rumored that the Potter house at Crescent City is to be rebuilt by tne in surance company’, and that the contract is already given. The peach crop at Waldo was specially benefited by the recent rains. The fruit is swelling rapidly. Shipments will be made at an early day. Four hundred letter boxes are to be added to the St. Augustine post office and several alterations in the building are being contemplated. Prof L. W.

Sanford citizens have subscribed $1,400 towards building the cigar factory at that place, and the land on which to build it has been donated by the Florida Land and Colonization Company. Capt. Maddux has just completed the burning of 100,000 brick at Rice creek, near Palatka. The general impression is that the quality or the brick is fair. They are made of the clay in that section. Capt. J. Q. Stewart of Titusville, nar rowly escaped being burned out by a for est- fire one day last week. The flames came in from the woods, destroying the margin to his orange grove and killing a row of his finest trees, loaded with young oranges. It also played havoc with has cane field. He estimates his loss at $2,000 fully. A special meeting of the stockholders of the State Park Association was held at Jacksonville Tuesday, Col. J. (j. Bur bridge, President, in the chair.

Georgia Crops. Watermelons are late in Liberty coun ty. The oat crop in Wilkinson county has stretched up considerably since the late rains. Reports from the oat crop are encourag ing in Muscogee. It is said that one more good raiu will Insure a good crop. Tom Hudson, of Clarke county, save several years ago that it cost him only 10c. a busnei to make corn, but now it costs him fully $1 per busuel. He bas planted his bottom land three times aud the heavy rains have washed it away. Vienna Vindicator: Col. G. W. Kusbee bas sixteen acres of the finest oats we have seen this year. A part ot the crop was sowed the third time before he got them to stand. There is twenty acres in the field which will approximate 500 bushels. Perry Home Journal: Last Saturday we passed about 20 farms. The corn ap peared to be growing nicely, moderately good stands and generally ot good size. Cotton all along from miserably poor to very good; stands poor generally; much of it chopped out; an abundant supply of grass. Col. James B. Mitchell, of Hawkins ville, has taken 1,200 pounds of honey from 40 colouies of Italian bees this spriag. The honey is extracted from the comb and sold in auv quantity at 10 cents per pound. The increa"ein Italian bees is fully 100 per cent, per annum. They are sold by Mr. Mitchell at $o per colony. Tbe Scriven county grand jury says: "We realize the tact that great damage is being done tbe planters ot our county by the sale ot cotton in the seed, and we request our Representative in the State Legislature to use his efforts for the passage of a bill prohibiting the sale of seed cotton in tbe county of Scriven' ex cept at public auction.” Gainesville Sun: Last week rains were general and very damaging to young crops. In some cases the farmers will have f replant. The Chattahoochee came very near getting as high as it was during the recent freshet. Much damage has been done to railroads and to sewers in our large cities. Our farmers have had many difficulties to meet this "tiring, but we hope they will be paid for their labors in the end.

I]airkiwtville .Vet.-#. In a measure, l am constrained to take up a little for the canines (not town dogs) this time. Avery bad state Of feeling exists among the people ou this side of Gum Swamp for a distance of eight miles up and down the creek and four miles out west of it. Sheep men on the other side, as far as 12 miles down into Dodge county, have driven numbers of sheep across the swamp, where none of them own a foot of land and of course are trespassers. Two or three weeks ago some stray dogs got to killing the sheep and the citizens ou this side promptly turned out and soon j killed the last one of tho dogs. I Not satisfied, the sheep owners sent emissaries with gun and poison, offering a royalty of $2 50 for every dog and $5 for every old sow that they might kill. Finding no dogs in the woods they instituted a regular uigbtly raid on men’s premises anil the next morning every dog on the places they visited were found dead in the yards. Four-tilths of all the dogs in the entire settlement have been slain and a good many hogs. Natu- I rally enraged at tne wholesale slaughter of these dogs, some of them valuable and constantly under the eye of their owners or confined at home. The owners now vow vengeance, and in retaliation, are organizing to openly shoot every sheep they find on their premises that does not belong there. Nightly watch is kept over the few dogs that are left, and a fellow would fare badly to be caught prowling around a mau’s "kennel. The people say that if they cannot keep dogs at their own houses other people’s sheep shall not eat their grass. There are some suspects, and it is probable that soon there will be "razors flying in the air.” Original of "Home, SSweet Home.” From tho Rome ( &'<t. ) Bulletin. It is perhaps unknown to most of our readers that there is a legend which con nects North Georgia with this popular air. Many years ago, when the Indians were being gathered and sent off to their reser vation, Payne was in the neighborhood of the place where Dalton now stands. I Many of the Indians were so reluctant to leave their hunting grounds that they evaded the officers whose duty it was to collect them. As the story goes, there was a law which made it a penal offense to aid an Indian in evad ing the officers. Payne’s sympathy for the noble red man was so strong that he gave them aid and countenance in elud ing the grasp of the collectors, and a warrant was sued out and served upon him by the Sheriff. As be started off' with the officer, Paine, doubtless thinking of the homeless Indian, began to sing the first stanza of "Home Sweet Home.” The Sheriff stopped and asked where that song came from. When Payne said that it was his own composition the officer begged him to sing some more like it: and as he listened to the pathetic air and eloquent words of the song, he was so moved that he released his noble prisoner, who not long alter gave to the public a song which has stirred the emotion of millions. The Sberilf wiio made the arrest was Gen. Bishop. the father-in-law of the venerable Judge Underwood ot this place. The pursuit and arrest was made at the home of Ross, the chief, near Blue Spring, in Tennessee, four miles from the old council grounds. He was imprisoned at the old Moravian missionary station, now Spring Place, twelve miles east of Dalton. Gordon’s Kindness. From the Cuihhert {Ga.l Appeal. An incident proving the devotion of Gen. Gordon to his soldiers was related to us a few days ago by a young friend who lives on the line of Randolph and Stewart counties, near County Line church. In his neighborhood lives Mr. Robert Ware, who was immediately under Gen. (Jor don during the war. Just after one of the hardest fought battles of the war, in which the troops ol both sides were mowed down like the ripe wheat before the scyihe, Mr. Waie was commanded to go on picket duty, ft was a bitter cold night. The snow was on the ground many inches deep. Mr. Ware bad come out of the bat tle just fought without receiving any wound#, but with the loss of nearly all his clothing. To have stood at his post of duty during the night would have been suredeatn. As Gen. Gordon rode down the line that night he discovered the situ ation of Mr. Ware, only a poor soldier as he was, and his heart went out in sympa thy to him. Removing his own coat, bat and shoes be turned them over to the trembling ! guard and finished his ride in that con dition. Mr. Ware survived the conflict, ! returned home and settled down ou his ! farm, but he never forgot this simple aet. I of kindness, and his first hoy born after the war was christened “Gordon Ware ” It cannot be disputed that Gen. Gordon has a heart for his people, capableof sym pathizing with them in their needs, both in the war and since, and bis past life has demonstrated this fact to the perfect sat isfaction of all unbiased minds. Museum oT Curiosities. From the B trneoville (tin.) Gazette. Judge J. C. Williams, Ordinary of Up son county, has quite a collection of curiosities in his office. He has a war relic of great interest, because of its an tiquity. We regret that, its authentic history can be traced only hack to tbe Revolutionary war. It is a sword, made ol first-class steel. On the blade is carved the sun. moon and 24 star*, two of them large ones. If the figure representing ihe moon was in crescent shape we might suppose it to have coine Irnm the Orien tals All that is known d“finite|v of its career is that it was used in the Revolu tionary war by the grandfather of Mr. J. F. itiv ere. Judge Williams has also some very in teresting Indian relics. A few days since Mr. T. I’. Holloway was bunting and dis covered on the side of a guby some,little pots, which, on examination, he found to be resting in an Indian grave. Near them were also some skuil bom-* and lei th. On further investigation other graves were found, and the spot is supposed to be an Indian burial ground. More lhan 50 years since the lores' trees were cut down, and the earth bus been tilled from year to year. Only tbe washing ruins have so cut down Into Ihe earth and in vaded the sanctity of tlx* Indian bones, that have slept for centuries perhaps. Judge Williams has also an Interesting representation of a borned frog, which most have lived onlv in the past, and sev eral Indian flints which are familiar. Tho Beer War. From the Home {Gt }.) Courier. In this city there Is now waging & fear ful beer war. A quarter keg of beer,con taining eight gallons, the regular price ot which is $2 50, is now being sold at 50c. per keg. A few days ago this price was only to those who dealt In liquois, but now any Individual can get it at t ne same price. Tbe result bits been the sale of tbe beer in great quantities, and in tnauv places tbe loamy stuff is tapped where it never was before. To give some idea of tbe extent ol this sale, a dealer told us that h" had sold about 75 or 80 kegs per day for the last d*v or two. The revenue on a keg is 25c., watch leaves only 25c. to the brewery, for freight and the wholt saler. This war is being carried on oy two groat breweries, and is confined to Koine. Formerly nothing but the Weber beer sold here, but the Kauffman under took to get a footing, and cuts followed, which finally came down to the present uric#. SLAVES AMONG TIIK SI.MINDIA S Indians in the Florida Everglade# Who Hold Negroes in Doudage. In certaiu of the more southern parts of Florida negroes are held in as strict bond age as ever they were before the groat war in any part of the country, says a Tampa correspondent of the St. Louis Globedlemooral. Slavery survives, how eVetS only among the few remnants of the ' Bq)i)jnt)Jp tribe who still have their homos in (be woods and everglades south and east of the Caloosahatchle river. There are many families of the red meu who, though perfectly inoffensive so far as the whites aro concerned, maintain a dignified independence of the gone rut laws and administer their own affairs in a wav strongly romimiscent ofdMftfiarchal traditions. They live prin cipally by the chase and upon thi* tiwh of which all Florida waters, lakes, streams, aiitl seas, are extremely prolific-;,and for vegetable food they depend ilium small pdtehes of ground cleared here and there, as fancy may dictate, from year to year. The Cultivation of these patches among the, poorer members or the tribe Is carried on by their women, but the more prosper ous of the Indians have their negro slavcß. upon whom they devolve all the nard la bor of cultivation, as well as the few iteuisof menial drudgery incident to their simple methods of living. It is curious to observe the degree of pride these Seminoles lake in the fact that they are slave-holders. They are per fectly aware that the white people of the country are forbidden to hold slaves; that every negro throughout the South who once had to pay obedience to a bomlmas ter bas been freed; but they don’t seem to understand that either emancipation pro clamations and enactments or constitu tional amendments have any application to them and their "niggers.” lienee they regard themselves as a race of beings more highly privileged than the whites— aristocrats who alone are recognized as having rights of property iu au infe rior race. Nor is there apparent among them the fainlost suspicion that their assured rights can be ques tioned by the law. Slave-owning and slave-trading among themselves is con ducted as openly and with as much con fidence as ever it was in South Carolina or Alabama thirty or forty years ago, aud even when they visit the towns to ex change their peltries for powder, clothing, crockery, and other necessaries they occa sionally take with them their black bonds men, partly to perform any laborious duty that may happen to become neces sary, but partly, also, to enhance their appearance of dignity and im portance. Only a few weeks ago one of this class, a full-blooded Indian, claiming the rank of a Seminole chief, came to Tampa to buy stores, bringing with him a young negress whom he pointed to with pride as his own property, remarking at the time: "Me big chief, heap bigger than white man, wuite man no slave, only Seminole have slave.” Several people of Tampa, both white and colored, tried to Interest tbemselves on behalf of the black girl, hoping to induce her to assert her right to freedom and to remain in the city, where a borne would have been provided for her; but she knew no language but Seminole, and all efforts to make her understand were fruitless. She took fright, too, at the well meaning efforts, and breaking from those who would have persuaded her, fled to her master, and, taking hold of his skirts, could not be induced to detach her hold all the lime he remained in Tampa. It is but fair to add that since that singular event news has been received that the chief has promoted the poor girl from the position of slave to wife, an honor which she, of course, has to share with two or three others. 9im.
