DALLY ENQU1UEK RUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER ->, 1881. A Georgia Boy in Whose Room Tables Dance Jigs. Woiltni! 11 i':i My-tlflnd by n Physical Plu'ltntiu'non. While the Xeyre I’oitiilnliou Pronounce It »(.*»(• of VoU'loo. St. Louis SayinKs. Leonard Weetveer is a paper-hanger who resides at Rochester, Cla., Mr. VVestvcer’e family consists of himself, wife, two daughters and a son, 12 years of age, named A- ny. The family is of Dutch descent and well- to-do. Its members have attended the , Dutch Reformed church, and are con- | sidered among the leading members of the | congregation. It is the boy Aruy about i whom interest centers. Five weeks ago j he was seized apparently with a form of j St. Vitus’ dance, and for fully fifteen minutes was unable to control the mus cles of his lower limb3. The fit passed oif, and no other symp- ! toms appeared until lie retired in the even- j ing. Alter getting Into bed he was seized again with a shock, which apparently af fected all the muscles in his body. j The boy criod for help, and his parents ' entered the room. As thev did so they I were astounded to seotlio chairs and other furniture moving up and down, seemingly in unison with the movements of his mus cles. The chairs would rise six or eight inches, whilo the bed mid a bureau would shnkc perceptibly. Finally the shock passed away and the motion ceased, only to be followed, as the family ktate, by noises— rappings which seemed to come from the walls and ceilings of the room. The rap pings also died away. Since that time Arny has had the fits or shocks at intervals of two or three days. They are now increasing in frequency, and hardly a day passes without one, though they do not increase in violence. In each instance the shocks were accompanied by the moving of articles in the vicinity of the boy. Residents of the neighborhood soon heard of the peculiar ease, and it was gen- •erally believe’d the story told by the fam ily was a hoax. Several prominent resi dents called at the house one evening to see for themselves. While there the boy was attacked so strongly that it required two men to hold him in his chair. Mean while everything in the room except the -caipets were in motion. Chairs rose to two feet high, and a heavy center-table was lifted several inches above the floor. Since the evening mentioned parties have been at the house almost duily to wit ness the strange phenomena. Among those who have called were Rev. Peter De Bruyn, pastor of the church which the Westveers attend, and Rev. Mr. Merersina, of the German church. Young Westveer has had medical at tendance for about a month, and has been watched by Drs. Schuehart, Kemp and Stillwell. The physicians are all puzzled by the symptoms. They say he is not troubled with St. Vitas’ dance or epilepsy. Drs. Kemp and Schuehart are inclined to believe he has heart disease, but Dr. Stillwell siiys his heart is in a normal con dition. It beats eighty to the minute in the daytime und sixty-five when he is •asleep. It increases in rapidity often to 110 when the paroxysms seize him. The physicians scout the idea of witchcraft, but cannot account for the movements jf furniture and the rappings which accom pany each spell. The victim of this strange malady is perfectly conscious when under its influ ence, and can converse. Ho is, however, powreless to control himself, and cannot move a muscle until the trouble possess off. When the attack seizes him he general ly has strength enough, if not in bed. to sit in u chair, but of late is generally under its influence about 10 o’clock in the even ing, or just after going to bed. He feels no pain, but the doctors say he if becom ing weaker and weaker, and that should the fits continue much longer lie will die from exhaustion. There is nothing peculiar in his counte nance when attacked, except the uupils of the eyes dilate and grow more brilliant, like a person in a fever. Physically the boy is somewhat small for his age, and of dark complexion. Ilia eyes are brown, and his general appearance that of a deli cate person. The remainder of the family are in good health, and have never had a symptom of the illness which affects the boy. Occasionally articles in another room from that in which he is are affected, but ■only when the sp Us are very violent. The articles nearest him move more than oth ers. As an illustration of the power of these movements, it is related that the boy was in the yard about two weeks after the attacks began, and was seized with one. About ten feet away were two planks, each two inches thick and several feet in length. The ends nearest him were raised over two feet in the air, but immediately dropped to the ground. The strange case has attracted wide spread interest, and crowds visit the house nightly. Superstitious persons firmly be lieve young Westveer is the victim of an evil spirit, or is bewitched, while Spiritual ists say he is a medium. HUNTING A LONG-LOST HEIR. Tlir ilonmiice of a Deserter from the French Newport, R. I., October 31.—Adolphe Balashe andJohniE. Girard, of Cherbourg, France, are searching all the mill localities in the state for one Edouard Marie Reca- mier, who must be an old man by this time, but who, if found, will have no diffi culty in coming into possession of a large fortune, which awaits him in France, his native land. Recamier is believed to have followed from his youth the calling of a weaver, and there is evidence that he came to Rhode Island and found employment. Messrs. Balashe and Girard are endeavor ing in a legitimate and honorable manner to secure the reward offered for the dis covery of the whereabouts of the object of their search. They state that during the first empire and when Mine. Recamier was a noted belle, a near relative of hers and heir to large estates, deserted his fam ily and entered the navy as a sailor under an assumed name. He was but a mere lad at the time, and was placed on board of the brig Pomme d’Or, which saw consid erable service during Napoleon’s reign. Young Recamier was naturally unsuited to his position and he was not long in gaining the ill will of his messmates and of his superior officers as well. Accus tomed to a life of ease and luxury, he found living on board ship before the mast as a common sailor very disagreeable, and he was often disciplined for disobeying orders. A young lieutenant who had obtained his_ commission through the intercession ot Mme. Recamier, complained of him often, and finally succeeded in having him triced up to the breech of a gun, where lie was obliged to submit to a flog ging. The lieutenant little real ized who the young man was, but the latter knew him. Heat once became a sworn enemy to the empire. While his ship was at New Orleans lie deserted her, and coming north he fell in with a French girl near Boston and made her his wife. The girl was an operative in a cotton niiil, and she supported her husband. A child i was born, and soon after the event Reca-i mier deserted them both. When the first empire was overthrown j he returned to France and had the privi- , lege of assisting in the execution of the i lieutenant who had humiliated him on hoard ship. While in France he paid i court to n lady of rank, a relative, it is said, j of Mme. Roland, and he concealed his j American marriage The lady's name was Mile. Arnot, and she soon married lie cornier. Seven children were born. Mr. and Mrs. Recamier died about BO years ago. ! Ten years after their death their children, who had come into possession of their j property, discovered a paper among their effects which disclosed the fact of the first marriage, which, of cours , mode the , second marriage illegal. It was learned : from the paper that .Recamier had made ; some efforts to discover his ■ first wife and her child in order that he might in a measure atone , for the "-rojor which he had done. The l heirs by tile i>. -o..d marriage agreed to de stroy the paper and divide t he property i among them. The paper was destioyed, and for forty years Hie estates have been in their hands. But Uie secret, couhl not | be kept. An inevitable quarrel took place, and one of t he parties, now rich from ot her sources, disclosed t he scandal for revenge, \ and offers to give up his portion of the m- : heritanee, knowing that the others will be ruined when they are obliged to follow his ' example. A reward of 20,()00f was offered for the discovery ofthcchild by Mio Amer ican marriage, which is Reeamler’s first born and heir to his estates. Messrs. Gi rard and Balashe are in earnest, and will • leave no stone unt urned to find the missing heir. 1 THE BRIDE HAD FLED. Kc>port Kvcited Over u Knthcr UnmnnMc Pis- n|iprarsnro. Keyport, N. J., October-31.—Miss Jen nie Anderson, a pretty and attractive young blonde of about eighteen summers, has sometime past been receiving tho at tention of Fred Joslin, an employe in Van Deventur’s factory at Cliifwood. Mr. Joslin urged his suit so well that in less than three months he had proposed, had been accepted, and the wedding hud been set for yesterday. Early in the morning, accompanied by a few friends, Joslin went to Miss Ander son’s home, expecting to go with her to the house of a clergyman and have the im portant ceremony performed. He was amazed to find the house deserte'd. Final ly, however, lie found Mrs. Anderson in the outside kitchen, and together they searched the house ior the missing maid en. She could not be found. As a last re sort Joslin went to the parsonage, think ing that through a misunderstanding Miss A nderson might have gone there alone. His inquiries were answered with aston ished negatives, and the young man woke to the embarrassing fact that he could not provide the expectant dominie with the paraphernalia for proving the paradox that one and one sometimes makes one. In fact, the young lady had evidently shown the fallacy of that computation by uncere moniously betaking herself to parts unknown. Her flight has caused much comment here, where the parties are well known. Nobody can explain the mystery, or at least nobody will. Young Joslin thinks the girl may have been kid naped, but others recall the fact that Miss Anderson has often been seen of late with one of Joslin’s best friends, with whom he was so intimate, in fact, that he has often accompanied Joslin on his visits to the charmer’s abode. This young man is con spicuous by his absence from the town, and this fact lends credibility to the theory that the missing maid is not alone. Miss Anderson’s brother, who strongly favored Joslln’s suit, is on the warpath, and threat ens that if he finds his sister with the other man he will shoot him without ceremony.

"Of course,” said he, “they are generally on the alert at all times for busi ness, but just now opportunities present themselves on all sides. I had an interest ing chat with one of our best officers only a few days ago, and he gave me enough information about the fraternity of pick pockets to fill a book. You see, he is de tailed to stroll up and down Broadway during the busy hours of the morning and afternoon for no other purpose than to keep an eye upon these individuals. He takes in Fourteenth street from Broad way to Sixth avenue, and nearly every day he scoops In two or three young gentlemen who like to abstract watches, money or any thing of value from the persons ol others. All this time the New Yorkers who left the city during the summer months have nearly all re turned. The dry goods stores and fancy goods emporiums have their fall stock in. The windows are filled with attractive ar ticles, and crowds of shoppers stop to ad mire or criticise what they see. Many ladies are careful enough to carry their purses in the bosom of their dress, but the majority have it held in their hand or dangling from their wrist by a silk cord or piece of ribbon. Not a few have their watch-pockets made on the outside of their walking-jackets. While the ladies are crowding in front of the windows it is a simple and easy thing for the pick pocket who knows his business and can ‘size up’ his victim to push and crowd in too as if he was fairly crazy to see some particular object displayed. But all the whi'e he is watching for an opportu nity to work his fingers into tome one's pocket or snap a watch chain and quietly slip through the crowd aud away before the person who has been relieved is aware of the loss. It is a singular thing, too, that but few visitors to the city are preyed upon by this class of criminals. The bunko-steercr attends to them, but the New Yorkers, who think that they can take care of wiiatever they have about them, are invariably the victims. The country people, and even residents of Jersey City, Staten Island and Brooklyn are ext a vigilant when they stop in New York. They seldom lose anything. “The professional pickpocket is gener ally between 17 and 23 years of age. He always looks shabby, and a hang-dog ex pression ornaments his countenance. His clothing is bought second-hand or else | stolen from somebody. All these stories j about well-dressed gentlemanly-looking I pickpockets arc nonsense. You" may oc- j casionally come across an isolated case, j but the pickpocket is generally a dirty, shiftless fell >w, whose capital is his cun ning, coupled with the dexterity with which he can slip his fingers in | some one else’s pockets and abstract ; therefrom a watch orpocket book without j attracting the attention of the rightful I owner. They travel in gangs of three or ! four, and sometimes six or seven work to- i gether. When any one of the gang swipes a time-piece or piece of jewelry it is taken j to the first place where they know ques- ; tions are not asked and disposed of for '■ several times less its value. Then there is j a division of the spoils, and fresh on- | slaughts arc made. Those criminals gen- j erally wind up with a short turn before i they have been many years in the business. I They live in the slums of the city, have no j ambition except to collar something, and j they seldom reform.” \ Soulh Carolina Suicide.

Trinidad lies in latitude 10’ north, and is ■ separated from tho mainland on the north- j era border of South America by the Gulf I of Faria. It has an area of 2100 square | miles; is ninety mites long and fifty miles I broad, and has a population of 60.000. Tbe i northern front, as Been from the ocean, re- I solubles an immense ridge of rock, but as viewed from the Gulf of Faria, it presents j a most mngnitieciit panorama. From every elevation the scenery is trauacon- clailfc, and the whole island, m climate, cn- ; joys a perpetual spring. Tiiu Gull' of ■ Faria from either shore forms i one vast harbor. It is thirty leagues long and fifteen leagues ! from north to south Ships may anchor safely in from three to six fathoms of I water, over gravel or sand soundings. It | is entered on the north by tho Dragon’s Mouth, and on the south by the Serpent’s Mouth, two straits formed by projections] from the island and main land. Numerous streams from both shores enter the gulf, and several small islands are embosomed i in ilH waters. Trinidad is evidently h section from the j adjacent continent, severed either by vol- i eanie or oceanic eruption. The volcanic i origin of this island is indicated by several ! craters, and south of Cape de la Brea is a 1 submarine volcano, which occasionally I boils up and discharges a quantity of pe troleum. There is alho a similar one about i the eastern part of the island in the bay of | Mayoro, which in March and June gives ' several detonations resembling thunder— these are succeeded by flames and smoke, and some niimltes after pieces of biuraen, as black and brilliant as jet, are thrown on shore. There is found in Trinidad a very bril liant white metal,more ductile and "'allea- ble than silver, and by some supposed to be a new metal. The most remarka- i hie mineral phenomenon, however, i is the “Asphalaltuni or Pitch lake,” which is situated on a headland jutting from the j northeast corner of the island. It is ele- j vated 80 feet above the ocean. Seen from ' the sea this headland resembles a dark, scoriaceous mass, and on a nearer view it is found to consist ot bituminous scoriae, vitrified sand and earth all cemented to gether. A strong sulphurous smell oer- vades the neighborhood for ten or twelve miles around. Deep crevices or funnels, sometimes six feet deep, are found in vari ous parts of the Asphaltum, filled with ex- cellentwator, often containing mullet arid other small fish. Alligators are said to have been seen in these extraordinary caverns. Several of these communi cate with the sea, and experience the agitation of stones that rutile the adja cent waters, often rising and falling during a storm six or eight feet, and scattering on the' island large masses of asphaltum. Pieces of what was once wood, are found completely changed into bitumen, and the trunk of a large tree, on being sawn, was entirely impregnated with pitch. When mixed with earth this substance acts as a fertilizer, and the finest fruits on tho island come from the districts bor dering on this singular lake. When Trinidad was first discovered, it was inhabited by a dense population of Caribs. These unhappy people were eith er murdered or transported to the His paniola mines. The present Indian popu lation is less than a thousand. The inhab itants of European descent number be tween live and ten thousand, and the negro and mixed races about 60,000. • Among them also are some Chinese and Coolies imported Irom the East India Islands. Port of Spain, the capital, embosomed ill j an amphitheatre of hills, lies on the Gulf ] of Puna, and is one of the finest towns in ! the West Indies. The buildings are of i massive stone and the streets are long and ' wide, shaded with trees und laid out in parallel lines from the sea, so as to catch every breeze thut blows. The churches and government buildings are fine and imposing edifices. The harbor is available for the largest ships. The total annual foreign trade of Trini dad is estimated at $21,800,000. The im ports entered for consumption amount to about $7,000,000, of which the United States furnish about one and a half mil lions. The chief exports are to Great Britain. Exports to the United States amount to about one and a quarter mil lions. The exports of Trinidad and the princi pal countries to which they go are as fol lows : Sugar, over $1,000,000, to Great Bri tain and the United States; cocoa, over $2,400,000, to Great Britain, France aud the United States; molasses, asphaltum and cocoanuts, to Great Britain, United States and France. The total annual imports of all the British West Indies may be roundly stated at $32,000,000, of which $12,000,000 Is from Great Britain, and $10,000,000 is from the United States. Their total annual ex ports amount to $33,000,000, of which $20,- 000,000 goes to Great Britain and $8,000,000 to the United States. The group of West India Islands stretch in the form of an arch between the two American continents, and consist of four large and a number of small islands, be sides numerous rocky islets called cayos or keys. They arc divided into three groups called the greater and lesser Antilles and Bahamas. What is known as the Gulf Stream sets through this group of islands. It passes from the Gulf of Mexico like a swift and immensely broad river. After pissing out beyond this chain of islands it diverges from the American continent, in- j creasing in breadth and decreasing in ve locity. With the exception of St. Domingo, all the West India islands are colonial depen- cics of European powers. Two of these, | Cuba and Porto Rico belong to Spain; thir teen belong to Great Britain; two belong i to France, one is Dutch, another Danish ' and another Swedish. The rich and varied i productions of these islands, gives them j an important position in a commercial j point of view. To t heir valuable native i plants, art and industry have I added others not less valuable. I Tbe British West Indies are the most highly cultivated and productive of all the British colonies. An importatn event in ! tbe history of these islands took place in ! 1833, when the British parliament passed j the law for the abolition of slavery. The sum of $93,000,000 wus granted by England to indemnify the slave owners. The origi- ! nal inhabitants of these islands have tong 1 been extinct except asmall remnant in the j islands of Ht. Vincent and Trinidad. 1 hope the time is not far dislant when Co-] Iambus, Ga., will have direct, regular and 1 frequent connection by rail and ocean j steamer and establi . .jd channels of trade with these gems of the sea. - Drannel.
