We will all agr< e to this, and it may be some re lief to .Miss Dooly's outraged patriotism to know that this did not happen. No “silly- f. male" thrust roses at the feet of a Spanish "Don." One or two ladies, whose escorts wire with them, gave a few sweet peas to the gentlemen who are our prisoners. I do not agree with Miss Dooly in regarding a prisoner of war as neces sarily a criminal. Sympathy- for those in distress is -o natural to femininity, that many- others hi ides "silly females" must plead guilty to the soft impeachnii nt. The motive that prompted the gifts of flowers to the Spaniards as they passed through -Macon was the atm that was voiced by a little girl in the crowd last Sunday after noon while the prisoners were sitting in their ear elo.-ily guarded hy negro sol diers; she war holding tightly to the hand of h< r father, hr..l kept very quiet while she looked the Spaniards for a while; then she almo.- t whispered.

In criticising us for lack of patriotism ami for courtesy to enemies of om country (though fallen foes), and in remembering the Maine, Miss Dooly seems to have forgotten that once upon a. time our own southland was devastated, and laid waste by a certain general; that he bin nod a town in North Georgia, almost completely destroying it. and that a num ber of years afterward, when the city had been rebuilt lie was feted and entertained within its gates. Where does patriotism end and policy begin?

Wnile this was going on it was found that ike case of the Dunlap Hardware Co. agaiast the Southern Railway hid not been set. As a result of this a somewhat interest ing colloquy took place. Judge Speer: There is a case of some importance which I do not discover on this docket. The case <A Dunlap and others against the Southern Railw-ay. The clerk told me a moment ago somewhat informal ly that no deposits of costs had been made in that case and that therefore he did not put it on the docket. Mr. L. M. Ergin, (Deputy Clerk): A de mand was made for the court costs some time after the bill was filed, several months ago, nearly a year, but the costs have never been deposited. Judge Speer: What is the rule under which you decline to docket a case unless ,i deposit for costs is made. Mr. L. M. -Erwin; [Rule of court. Under rule of court 'the clerk is not required to perform any service at all in a case until the party makes a deposit. Air. Dessau: il did not know- o>f that. The finances have been cotrolled by other counsel. I had not been aware of any ir regularity which had occurred. I will call the other counsel’s attention to it, please your honor, and have the rule of court complied with. Judge Speer: 'Well, it is a case of great consequence. We ought to proceed with due observance of all these formalities. Os course it is a mere formality but the clerk insists upon it. He has no vital in terest in the question of cost. Air. Dessau: I was very much surprised to know that the statement made by the clerk was correct. 1 had never heard of it. The matter has not come to my attention. I suppose there is good reason why it has not been paid. I suppose it has not -been turned into the gentlemen who control that feature of the ease. Jude Speer: The rule of court is the 92d rule: “The clerk shall not 'be required to docket any cause, except where the United States is a party, until a deposit of an amount to be fixed by the clerk, not ex ceeding $7.0, shall be made with him by the plaintiff as a payment of the clerk’s and marshal’s costs, which may be incurred by said plaintiff in the progress of the cause.” ■Mr. Dessau: 1 ask that your honor will not make any order today in that regard.

Ellis, of the Macon Guards, First regiment of Georgia Volun teers, came flown from Griffin yesterday on a forty-eight hour furlough; ostensibly to visit his parents anTl relatives, who re side in South 'Macon, as well as to look af ter special business of impoi c 1.1 c? to him self and and a beautiful young lady who resides in the Rutland district. On this special business hangs a tale, which when told will disclose another romanti’ mar riage among the gallant volunters who recently left Macon and the vicinity and show to the world at large and the bal ance of mankind generally that South Ma con boys never get left under any’ circum stances. For two or more years Mr. Ellis has been visiting Miss Genie Tinsley, the beau tiful daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joshua Tinsley, of the Rutland district, with a view to matromony. They had become engaged and the time set for their marriage during next fall or winter sometime.

The family’ of neither party had any ob jection to the marriage. The couple kept it a secret, however, simply for the fun of the thing, Mr. Ellis informed his parents yesterday evening as soon as he arrived in South Macon. He then proceeded to the Rutland district, where his fair bride awaited him. They explained matters to the old folks at home and received their blessings.

The pay ing teller examined the check with that air of tsuspicion a paying teller never loses. “You’ll have to be identified, mad am,’’ he said politely, The woman was in a great hnrry. “Identified!” she said. “Why, I haven’t time to go and get anybody to identify me! Besides, 1 don’t know three pieople in town.” “I’m sorry,” said the. teller, “but the rule is invariable ” “But,” protested the woman, “I really am the Mary L. Brown named on the check. You dou t doubt that, do you?” The teller looked embarrassed. “It’s only a form, madam,” he said, “but we must in.si.--c on some identifica tion. ’ ’ A happy thought struck the woman. Her name was on her handkerchief. “Would the name on my handker chief be any irk ntil:- ation?” she asked The teller replied that it would. “Well, then,” said she majestically, handing over the square of linen, “per haps you’ll be good enough to give me the money now!’’ The teller examined the handkerchief and handed it back without a word. In one corner was daintily written in in delible ink, “Sarah Jones.” The check was not cashed till next day, and the newly arrived woman has discharged her laundress.

Presented by the Czar of Russia to Pres ident Johnson. I. P. Farmer, the county surveyor of Columbiana county, 0., who resides at Lisbon, lias in his passe-si. .n one of the rarest historical specimens in existence. It is an old Damascus blade which, it is claimed, is over 2,000 years olil. It is of crude design and workmanship ami was made entirely by hand, the irregu arity of Its lines proving morn conclusiv siy than any tiling else its ant' r ity. Shortly after the .-isination of Presi dent Lincoln an unsuccessful attempt was made upon the life e.f the czar of Russia. A fleet of American warships was sent on a cruise across the ocean and incidentally carried a message of congratulation to Russia’s ruler from Presillent Johnsor. Assistant Secretary of the Navy Fox ac companied the squadron on board the Miuntonomoh. commanded by John J. Cornwell of Lisbon, O. Secretary Fox was presented with the sword by the czar in person, as a token of his high esteem, ac companied by the following speech: “I present to you, sir, as the represent ativoof one of the foicmostand mightiest of modern nations, this saber, as a ma terial appreciation of your nation’s high regard for my welfare and safety. Through ages it has been treasured in the archives of my fathers as a semblance of the mighty races that swayed the destinies of future generations on the shores of the Mediter ranean; it was carried through scenes of carnage which marked the upbuilding of the powerful sovereignty of western Asia and has outlive?! the kingdoms it helped build. “ The ancient treasure was accepted by the secretary, with an appropriate re sponse, and as the fleet steamed out of the Russian port he presented the sword to Commander Cornwell While the fleet was off Toulon, France, Commander Cornwell died suddenly of heart failure. The vessels pulled in at the port and a telegram was sent to Paris for a burial casket. A squad of marines under command of a lieutenant was sent on shore to receive the casket from the train and convey it aboard the dead command er’s vessel. The casket missed connections, but the sailors, who were unaware of the fact, hustled a casket which arrived on the train off to the ironclad. The fact that the box was quite heavy did not excite the suspicion of the sailors and after it had been taken to the cabiu the mate opened the cover. Consternation reigned on board when there was disclosed the body of a beautiful young lady, buried in a wealth of flowers. The lid of the casket was hurriedly re stored to its place, am! preparations were promptly made to return the body to the depot in Toulon. But the story of the al leged seizure had spread, creating intense excitement in the French port, and a city official was preparing to board the Ameri can warship with a search warrant. Ex planations were made, hut the mistake came near causing an international dis ruption. The French newspapers charnctcrized the actions of the American sailors in the most scathing terms, assuming that the taking of the body of the young lady was a prearranged plan. Commander Cornwell was buried at Toulon, .»nd the old sword was given into his widow’s keeping, and she in turn pre sented it to her brother-in -law, Mr. Farm er. The blade is 22% inches long and 1 inch wide, tapering to a point. The hilt is made of horn, ornamented with twisted brass wire, and is as hard as adamant. The crosspieces are of leather, tipped with sheet brass. The scabbard is as interesting as the blade, being fashioned from wood, w ith a sheet luass covering. It was orna mented in crude style by indents of a pointed tool. Near the Lilt, on the blade, are a number of odd characters resembling ancient Hebrew iascriptiims.—Philadel phia limes. WiutpH Assist In a Tra».4/. “Onoof the most comical experiences in the history of the stage,” said a local man ager, '•befell tiie Tom Keene company in a northern New York town The company was playing ‘.Julius Ca sar, ’ and at the last moment it was found that the prop erty man had failed to send up the regular throne chair used in the senate scene, ind an old rustic chair, was hastily procured from the loft of the theater, and after be ing covered with draping was pressed into service. In the midst of the scene a large wasps’ nest was discovered attached to the chair, and its inhabitants, becoming in dignant at the disturbance they had suf fered, began to swarm about the stage seeking revenge upon the Romans in their low necked and short sleeved dresses. The wasps seemed to be particularly offended with Caesar, and it is doubtful if Ctesar’s death scene was ever acted with more feel ing, for at the moment he was being pierced by the conspirators’ daggers the wasps were most industrious in their work. “In the tent scene, where Ca sar appears to Brutus, one might almost have doubted its being the true Casar.

CANADA’S NEW GOLDFIELDS. The Vast Hogiou That Es About to I»e Open ed In Northern British Columbia. Lying between the Yukon basin and Caribou is a vast, untrodden region, which | offers tempting reward lor thorough ex ! ploration. The territory is a continuation I <rf that great gold bearing licit of which i California, Colorado, Nevada, Kootenai, i Caribou and the Yukon are sections. The jiehes of Caribou wore long ago unlocked i to the world, and soon prospectors wili • have overrun every part of the famous Yu- I kon, but the wild mountain fastnesses of I this unexplored territory have so far ro i sisted the white man’s entrance, and the ' great area stretching between latitudes 54 1 degrees and 58 degrees and extending from the Rocky Mountains on the east to 128 de grees west longitude, remains a terra in cognita. That streams tributary to the Yu kon, Peace river and the Liard, known to bo rich in placer gold, and livers flowing through Caribou and Cassiar. noted for their gold beds many years apo, all take their rise on the outskirts of this vast ter | ritory, would indicate ilie presence of min i er;;l wealth in the unknown field. This supposition is supported by more ' than men: ptoltalulify Since 1885 Indians ! and half breeds have vaguely talked of I gold “up in the interior’’ and taciturn Chinamen in ragged clothes have come down to the coast with bags containing large and small quantities of the precious metal As the industrious celestial has been washing gold in old placer beds for years, earning a pittance w hich the white man would not consider worth hi§ labor, the appearance of these uncommunicative, mysterious fellows at Pacific ports excited little interest until Klondike discoveries aroused every one Then prospectors be gan to suspect the existence of new gold fields south of the Yukon and last summer minors, ventured along the margin of the unknown region. I Two men who had been washing gold along streams of this outlying district brought out §48,000 worth of the yellow dust. During the summer one prospector found a nugget worth §7O, ami in Octoboi a Large nugget worth §3OO was sent from the southern part of the territory. With the past few weeks the discovery of exten sive bodies of fine milling gold quartz was reported to the British Columbia minister of mines by prospectors who left last sum mer to explore the southern outskirts Winter had prevented more thorough ex ploration, but the veins were said to be of extraordinary width and were exposed for miles across the country. Samples of quartz, rich in gold, accompanied the re port, but so wild and inaccessible is the I region that these deposits cannot be worked until the Tcslin Lake-Telegraph Creek rail way or the Cassiar Central has been built. The unopened territory is variously des ignated by the names of its different sec tions, as the. Omineca, the Peace river, the | Liard country. Roughly speaking, it is bounded on the east, by the Rocky moun tains, on the west by tjie Yukon and the Pacific slope and on the south by Caribou. The nearest point on the Canadian Pacific railroad is almost GOO miles from its south ern limits, but the Omineca can be reached byway of the coast, going up the Skrena river and following a fairly clear trail U»r 150 miles. Discovery of gold in Omineca caused a great rush northward from Caribou and the coast in 1870, but without modern hy draulic appliances the gravel was difficult to work. Wi.cn rich diggings were found in Cassiar, the crowds stampeded to the newer field. During the eight years that followed at least §I,OOO, boo in gold was taken from Omineca by miners satisfied with modi rate ret urns. The general im pression that the diggings on the southern outskirts were shallow discouraged explo ration until last fall, and then, when the discoveries were announce; 1 ,, the season had advanced too far for prospecting. For hundreds of miles north of Omineca is a vast expanse absolutely unknown to the white man It lies between Peace riv er and the Yukon. A party under Lord Avonmore is spending the winter in the Liard country in order to be on hand for thorough exploration of that section of the terra incognita when the season opens. Between the Peace and Liard rivers, the climate is not so rigorous and forbidding as in the Yukon The country is densely wooded. There is a superabundance of timber for fuel and for building purposes. Game, large and small, is plentiful For naturalist, sportsman and prospector no part of the u'nxeplored world offers more attractive prizes. New York Sun.
