Barbers often assert that razors get
tired of shaving, aud that they will per
form satisfactorily if permitted to rest for
a time. It has boen found by microsco
pic examination that the tired razor, from
long strapping by tho same hand and in
the .-amc direction, has the ultimate fibers
of its surface or edge all arranged in one
direction, like the edge of a piece of cut
velvet; but after a month's rest these
fibers re arrange themselves heterogene
ously, crossing each other and presenting
i saw like edge, each fiber supporting its
fellow, and henoe -cutting the beard in
stead of being forced down flat without
cutting,as wbon laid by.

After the Mail*.
Among those who wont from Atlanta on
the Air Line road, on Thursday, to meet
Postmaster Key and the postal commis
sion, was Capt. W. D. Chipley, Superin.
tendent of the Pensicola Railroad. He
bears an invitation from the city of Pen
sacola and his own road to the commis
sion to visit that city in the interest of a
rapid and regular mail from Cnba and the
West Indies. If this effort should suc
ceed, the Cuban and West Indian mail,
instead of going round by Cedar Keys,
must tome either via Louisville or At
lanta.
Remedy for Mosquitoes.
Mosquitoes lay their eggs upon the sur
face of water. The water must be stag
nant, and rain water is a prime requisite
for successful propagation. Five or six
drops of kerosene oil will diffuse itself
over the entire surface of a cistern, and
will impart neither taste nor smell to the
water. Not evaporating it will remain all
the summer. Mosquitoes will not lay
their eggs upon it, nor would they hatch
jf laid. Try it, and rid yourself and yonr
neighbors of these terrible pests.
Dr. Mote* Sentenced.
We learn from the New Orleans Picay
tine; that Dr. Otto Moses, formerly of
Colnmbns, fonnd gnilty Tuesday of
shooting and wounding Dr. J. R. Walker,
less than mayhem, was Thursday bronght
before the bar of the Superior Criminal
Court and sentenced by Judge Whitaker.
He was fined $50 and condemned to serve
a term of six months in the Parish Prison.
After the sentence was pronounced he
was taken in charge and oonveyed to the
quarters assigned him by the court.

the murderers.
THE NEORO SLATERS OF MRS. O. C. CHAM
BLISS CAPTURED — HER REMAINS IN
TERRED.
We understand that ihree negroes have
been arrested as the persons who mur
dered this lady, near Antioch, Stewart
county, Friday morning, or perhaps
Thursday night. Various rumors have
been spread as to what has been the fate
of these negroes. Jerry Sneed was the
one, we learu, who did the shooting. Two
other men were with him, and all of them
set fire to the woods and fence near the
honae, and informed Mr. Chambliss that
they were baring. They followed him a
portion of the way to the fire, and then
returned and entered the bouse and de
manded of Mra. Chambliss to allow them
to search the bouse for many. She re
fused them and seized a gun to
defend her bouse. Jerry SDeed snatched
it from her and shot her through the
bead instantly. The scoundrels then, we
understand, burnt his corn crib and fled.
They were captnred Friday and it has
been reported that they were hanged.
We also heard that the Sheriff and deputy
of Stewart county were at Antioch when
these outlaws were captnred and prevent
ed the murderers from being killed and
carried them to jail. The negro, Jerry
Sneed, the only name of the three that
we could learn, made a full confession
and says that be did the shooting but
that two others were concerned with him.
Mrs. Chambliss, nee M ss Amelia
Wright, was a beautiful and promising
yonng woman, and was endowed with
many mental graces. She bad been mar
ried a little more than a year, and now
she has been snatched from the devoted
hands of a young husband by ruthless
murderers and robbera. Mr. Clia nbliss
and the entire connections have the sym
pathies of this and their commnnity.
She was interred yesterday afternoon at
Jamestown, Chattahoochee county.
DEATH OP MRS. MARY L. WYNNE.
Impartial Fate has sealed the destiny
of this noble Christian and affectionate
and devoted wifo and mother to Mr, T.
K. Wynne and his fonr little children.
She is asleep in Jesus, and this day the
mournful hearts of many who loved her
are stilled in silent grief, andareconeonant
with the sad and musing hush that rests
upon tbeir homes. She's now in the cold
embrace of death and knows nothing of
her motherless little children and the sor
rows of the bnsband. She died of con
sumption, in this city, yesterday morn
ing, which malady had been fastened
npon her for two or three years.
She bore it with fortitude am)
cheerfulness and in the spirit of a true
Christian. “Thy will be done” was her
feeling and she embraced death without
a lunrmer, except, as she expressed her
self, that it was hard to give up the ties
of her family. The bereft ones have the
deepest sympathies of this commnnity.
She was a member of St. Paul church
and connected herself with the Methodist
denomination while a yonng lady. Her
age was 39 years. The funeral will take
place this morning at 9 o’clock at her late
home.
WATT A WALKER.
This is one of the largest and most popu
lar grocery firms in the city, and tbeir trade
is daily increasing. They do a wholesale
and retail business, and fill all orders as
promptly aud cheaply as could be desired.
They deal to suit the times, and, as they
always buy their stock at bottom prices,
they can afford it. Their custom in this
section is immense, their names as fair
dealers is proverbial, and their river
trade, judging from the boat manifests,is
not exceeded by any firm in the city.
They have everything iu their line, and
are always obliging and courteous to any
wbo may call on them. No honse can
offer superior advantages.

long since, went home to bis wife, sat
near her and tried to make “fair weather”
with her. She gave him a tongue lashing
and be became indignant, took np a cook

his head in it up to his shoulders, and
walked oat of the bouse. He could not
pull it off and by the aid of thiee or four
persons his head was screwed out. His

HARRY BRnCE KILLS A DEER—THE SNAPPERS
SEIZED BY THE SHERIFF--THE NABA-
TIYE TO BE CONTINUED.
On Board the St. Clair.
The “Big Foot” overtook us,
at Chattahoochee, having on board
eight gentlemen from Eufaula
bound for the Dead lakes. We sympathis
ed with them for we have tried the Dead
lakes, and while we fouDd the fishing
good, we did not feel like we ware paid
for the pain given us by the blood thirst-
ness of the mosquitoes.
We landed the Fufaula party at Iola,
the Dead lake lauding, and took on a
party who had just completed a week of
fishiDg and mnsquito fighting, who pre
ferred going to Apalachioola and waiting
for the next week's steamer to remaining
longer and be plagued by the mosquitoes.
We arrived safely at Apalacbichola and
were mortified to find an east wind pre
vailing, nevertheless we steamed ont to
Indiau Pass, hoping by morning to have
a change of wiDd and thus be enabled to
go out of the bay.
A party went on the bar and canght
enough fish to supply our immediate
wants.
Tuesday morniDg the 14th we found
the wind still unfavorable for an outside
venture, so we sent out a hunting party.
Several novices were in the party and had
a hard time.
Onr poet got lost and had a terrible
time in getting his “bearings.” It ap
pears that the old negro who was the
guide of the party pnt oar poet on a
stand, telling him to kill the first deer
that pa-sed. Having kept late hours the
night before, onr poet fell asleep. When
he awoke the snn had changed its posi
tion, sbowing that several honrs bad
passed. But we will let him tell the tale.
When I awoke I heard the dogs barking.
I gave a few “hollers,” but without re
sponse. I became a little uneasy for I
didn't know which way I came. I dinted
a small tree and looking around, espied
old Adam about a quarter away. I
started for him, A few yards brought me
into a mar*h. The fact is I am afraid of
snakes, bn-s and alligators, and I can’t
swim. 1 soon fonnd my
self forty miles from anywhere,
I hollered, but no response.
I kept digging my way through the
marsh, waist deep in water and mud, and
after an hour's work caught up with old
Adam and found myself tired nearly unto
death and five miles from the steamer.
Boys, I aint agoing a hnnting any more.
If you want any deer killed by me juat
drive them, to the bow of the “Julia,”
and I'm in; but the style of hunting now
in vogue don't suit my calibre or t-hape.
If aDy of you want to go I advise you to
make old Adam wear a beaver, for you
cant see that coon skin cap he wears forty
yards.
Ihe hunting party broughtin one deer,
which was killed by Mr. Henry Bruce, of
Columbus. The deer was well earned, as
all accounts agree to the parly’s having a
bard time.
Our parson also got lost in crossing a
marsh. He got lost, aDd in trying to get
out found himself and gun stuck deep in
the mud, and with much difficulty extri
cated himself.
The wind continuing unfavorable, and
preventing our going out, we left for
East Pass, hoping a change of wind
would allow ns to reach the Snapper
banks, but no change occurring, we start
ed for Crooked River, to have a day’s
sport catching bream. We had hardly
gone a mile before it was discovered that
the supply pipe to the boilers was out of
fix, aDd it was decided to go to Apalachi
cola for repairs.
On landing,at this fraud of a town we
were boarded by the sheriff, and the
steamer attached upon a suit bronght by
a man named John W* Malone. Consid
erable excitement was created among the
Snappers when the cause of the sheriff’s
presence was hnown. Wo will give full
particulars of this matter in our next.
Grand Pa.
The Snmppera.
They reached home yesterday about
two o’clock on the Julia, after a two
weeks’ surfeit of fishing. They reached
the snapper banks and caught as many as
was convenient and more so. Caught a
shark aod harpooned a devil fish, had the
best of fun, and returned safe and happy.
The story will be detailed more at length
by “Grand Pa" in successive numbers.
DIED
Mr. B. G. Alderman, aged about 55
years, in Marianna, Florida, last Sunday.
He had been quite feeble for six or seven
months, and gradually gave away to dis
ease and partial old age. He was a highly
esteemed citizen, merchant and mason,
sad left many warm friends behind him.
He bas been a resident of Marianna thirty
years. He lived in this city during 1866
and 1867 as a dry goods merchant and
this was his occupation at the time of hia
death.
A Valuable Piece of Silver.
A f6w days ago Mr. Eli Sandeford
showed us a silver half dollar which was
bent into a scoop by a minnie ball, which
was still bonnd to it. It was given to him
in pawn for a bottle of whiskey in 1861,
at Pensacola, by an unknown soldier who
was shot in the Santa Rosa Island battle.
This soldier had the money in his vest
pocket and it saved his life, bat he suf
fered a great deal from the bruise. The
unknown man never returned to redeem
the coin, and for the first time in nearly
fifteen years Mr. Sandeford, a few days
ago, found it in some of bis clothing. He
bad about forgotten that he ever pos
sessed such a relic. He says that he
would gladly give it to the stranger if he
could only find him, for he thinks he
woald consider it invaluable.

Baptist Sunday School Picnic at Port Mitch
ell.
The train left the Broad street
depot at 8 o'clock yesterday morniDg.
About two hundred were on the train.
After a pleasant run of fifty minutes, we
arrived at Fort Mitchell. The Sunday
School was not met by the Seale and
Oswiohee schools as was expected, owing
to the invitation not reaching them in
time. There was a good nntnber of the
Oswichee people present, who assisted in
making all enjoy themselves.
A match game of base ball was played
by John Swift’s and Willie Johnson’s
nines, which resalted in a victory for the
former by a score of 28 to 16. The boys
played well and may yet see the day when
they will rival the “Scrubs.”
Lemonade and ice-water was served
free under the supervision of Col. Hogan.
Some very sweet music was discoursed
by Mr. Chase and son assisted by several
young ladies. The vocal mnsic in the
afternoon was delightful.
For the small boys there were endless
amusements, such as sack and footracing,
flying jennies and swings in profusion
the prizeB for the races being silver quar
ters, ice cream, plums, etc., all of which
they seemed to eDjoy very much.
A large coachwbip was killed, measur
ing about eight feet. Two smaller ones
were killed on the grounds.
To the worthy Superintendent, Mr. G.
E. Thomai, Sr., we tender onr sincere
thanks for a sumptuous dinner. The day
passed off quietly, and will long be re
membered with pleasant emotions by all.

THE ELECTORAL COUNT.
WHY MB. TIUTOI DID NOT INSIST UPON HIS
RIGHTS.
j Sjeclal 11 the Baltimore Sun.]
Washington, May 22.—An eminent
citizen <>f Alabama, who passed through
Washington yesterday on his way back
from New York, had, while in that oity,
au interview wi'h Mr. Tilden. He said to
Mr. Tilden that the people of the South
were convinced that he had been fairly
aDd lawfully eleoted to the office of Prei-
dent of the United States; that the peo
ple of that section, in common with tbe
great body of the people ot the whole
United States, thought that Mr. Tilden,
as the lawfully elected ruler of the coun
try, should have taken early after the
election a decided attitude, and insis'ed
upon his rights ; that had he done so, and
the proper annonooement of the votes of
the electoral oolleges been prevented, tbe
House of Representatives would bave
elected him according to the forms of
law, and made itself responsible for his
induction into the offioe which belonged
to him.
Mr. Tilden listened intently to
the remarks of his visitor, a
gentleman nearly twenty years
his senior. He replied that he had
thought carefully aud most conscientious
ly over the subject in all its possible
phases; that he had become convinced
that should he adopt the eoorse suggested
it would be resisted by the Radical p rty
to tbe extent of drem-hiug the land in
blood; that be shrunk from the responsi
bility of precipitating another terrible
civil war upon hia countrymen, aud con
sented to tbe compromise wbioh averted
so dread a disaster. He felt as keenly as
any one the impropriety of the means by
which tbe present result had been brought
about, but, for all that, he did not regret
bis own action. As it was the people of
the United States understood it; the Dem
ocratic party to-day occupied such a
proud attitude before the oountrv ns it
bad never occupied before, and no mortal
power oould resist its triumphal march to
success in 1880.
Tliftry aud Practlc.
Miss Ida Louise Hawley, a young lady
of Horoellsville, New York, lately com
mitted suicide by drowning, and her case
presents probably the coolest suicide on
record. She was only twenty years old,
and had tine literary tastes and acquire
ments. She read all tbe philosophies, and
her capacity for calm investigation be
came very stroDg. She is said to have
presented a remarkable mental develop
ment for a lady and one sc> young as she.
She was afflicted with deafness, but this
did not seem to have a morbid influence
upon her. She simply retired into her
solitude, away from distracting sounds,
and fathomed the depths of life, the pos
sibilities of being and the calm of death.
She was attracted by an article in tbe pa
pers entitled “The Suicide Crop.” It
was treated jocosely, and suggested to
her a field for the serious treatment of
the subject. She then wrote an essay on
the “ Philosophy of Suicide,” which was
regarded by her friends simply as an able
literary effort. But it seems to have been
a preparation to put her theories into
practice. She left a letter to her friends
and this essay pinned together, as if to
furnis a full and rational explanation of
the act. This is her letter of farewell :
WHY I COMMIT SUICIDE.
The cause is not mortification or disap
pointment, dread of the future, or ill
health, or lack of friends or want. I am
young, twenty, healthy. I have had al
ways friends—never enemies. I have
never known lack of food, or clothing or
love. The cause th->n arises from a deep-
seated conviction that this life is not
worth living for, the prospect of a life
beyond the world, which this is a prepar-
ati n for, is too vague and cbimercial to
make the aspirations unfilled—the strug
gles undeserved which the best of man
kind must needs experience (and tbe best
most) worth tbe repetition by eaoh indi
vidual. I hold that the lift of every per
son belongs to them to keep or destroy,
as they deem best, and it is my will to de
stroy mine.”
This is cool, calculating and altogether
rational She committed the act of self-
destruction simply because she found the
world to her not worth living for. Life
did not pay in pleasure what it involved
in pain, and she quit it as she
believed she had a perfect right to do.
This was her philosophy of suicide, and
she furnished an illustration.
Ty All* Particularly Invalids,
Spring is a trying season. Indications
of sickuess should at once be attended
to. Fatal diseasbB may be caused by al-‘
lowing the bowels to become constipated
and the system to remain iu a disordered
condition, until the disorder has time to
develop itself. An ounce of prevention
is worth a pound of cure, is an old aud
truthful saying. Therefore, we advise
all who are troubled with the complaints
now very prevalent—headache, indiges
tion, disordered liver, want of appetite,
nausea, or feverish skin, to take, without
delay, Sckenck's Mandrake Pills We
know of no remedy so harmless and deci
sive in its action. It at once strikes at
the root of the disease and produces a
healthy tone to the system. People nev
er need suffer from any disease arising
from a disordered condition of the liver,
if they would take this excellent medi
cine when they feel the first indications
of the malady. Families leaving home
for the Bummar months should take three
or four boxes of those pills with them.
They have an almost instantaneous effect.
They will relievo the patient of headache
in one or two hours, and will rapidly
cleanse the liver of surrounding bile, end
will effectually prevent a bilious attack.
They are sold by all druggists.
