Leesburg Telephone.
We have received the first number
of tlie Leesburg Telephone, anew can
didate for public favor and patronage.
It is published at Leesburg, the county
site of Lee county, by N. H. Ware,
and edited by Kit J. Warren, Esq., who
is a fluent and witty writer, and will
make the Telephone a creditable paper.
We wish it abundant success.

it to a historical society.
The Atlanta Constitution evidently
has little faith in western lard. It
says: Every Southern householder
will boast that he only buys pure lard.
The truth is, pure lard has been driven
out of market long ago, and those who
buy the western product necessarily
invest in diseased as well as deceased
hog’s fat. Those who eat western
hog’s fat should wear crape. Sooner
or later the diseased stuff will do its
perfect work.
The Philadelphia Press has the fol

In Chicago, Congressman Harde

support and vote (or any man the Dem
ocrats might see fit to nominate in 18-
84. This remark was repeated to Hon.
Mr. Corput, mayor of Macon with the
inquiry if that included Ben Butler.
Mr. Corput replied: “Well Hardeman
may be willing to support Butler,
should he be nominated, but if he does
he will have to leave Macon. Our peo
ple are willing to forget bygones and
extend the olive branch, but we have
not got far enough yet to swallow But

A Good Tree Wash.
The following recipe for washing
fruit trees and a preventive of borers
has been furnished us by a gentleman
who has need it with great success for
a number of years:
The present is the best time for using
it, as the eggs are deposited at about
this time. Take four quarts of lime,
two pounds of concentrated lye, three
pounds of sulphur, one pound of good
tobacco, two quarts of soot, thoroughly
dissolve each separately, and then mix
together with about sixty gallons of
water. This makes enough for thor
oughly washing 500 trees of about six
inches in diameter, and gives a fine,
*mooth bark to the trees.
The summer number of the Fashion
Quarterly, issued by the well-known
firm of Ehrich Brothers, New York,
lies upon our table, and a careful ex
amination has satisfied us that it is
worthy of unqualified praise. Ehrich’s
fashions, our lady friends inform us,
are always reliable, and the dainty con
fections so clearly described and illus
trated in its interesting pages will set
many a feminine heart a-flutter.
Those, for whom it is, impossible to do
their shopping in the metropolis, will
find the magazine indispensable, for it
will enable them to make their selec
tions with a proper regard for the fasli
ions of the day, at the same time re
minding them of what the necessities
of the approaching season will be. The
literary department fairly sparkles.
That any firm can give so large and
varied an amount of reading matter foi
the ridiculously low sum of fifteen
cents is to be wondered at, and wo ad
vise those of the fair sex who are lor
tnnate enough to let their eyes fall up
on this notice to remit fifty cents at
once to the publishers, Ehrich Broth
er*, New York, and receivo it for one
year.
INTERESTING FIGURES.
SHOWING THE PROBABLE COST Oi SCHOOL
OF TECHNOLOGY.
Macou Telegraph interview with Hon. N.
E. Harris.
In a report on technical education,
made by Mr. Eaton, the United States
Commissioner of Education, in De
cember, 18S2, to the Senate, in re
sponse to a resolution of that body
calling for information, he says “the
expense ol teaching theoretically the
industries and the related sciences is
no greater than that of teaching math
ematics or languages. It is the great
er capital which must be unproduc
tively invested that makes technical
schools expensive.” Especially is
this true where, as in the Worcester
•school, the material used by the stu
dents is utilized to the profit of the
institution. The buildings and equip
ments of course, constitute the main
outlay. After these are procured the
expenditures can be regulated by the
number of students in attendance. The
estimate ihit each studentcosts the in
stitution SSOO per annum, referred to
by some of the committee in the pub
lications made since their return, in
cludes the interest upon the unproduc
tive capital invested in real estate, ma
chinery and other apparatus. On the
same basis the student at the Univer
sity of Georgia costs that institution
over SBOO per annum. This of course,
in a Stato institution, is no fair esti
mate. Basing the estimate upon the
income alone, each student costs the
university a little less than S2OO per
annum. In Massachusetts the aver
age cost per student in the literary
colleges is about S3OO. In New Jer
sey it is possibly somewhat less. In
the latter State there are first class col
leges in which the student may be ed
ucated at a cost of $l5O per annum.
Our unendowed professional colleges
probably afford the best illustrations
of the real cost of education.
Their charges for tuition ought to
determine the cost. At Emory Col
lege the students pays dollars per
annum and the income from this source
supports the professors. In all the
technical colleges the charge lor tui
tion is uniformly $l5O per annum.
With one hundred students this sum
in my opinion, would support a first
class technical school in this State.
To equip such an institution would
not require more than $35,000, This
is, of course, exclusive of the building.
In fact, the estimate of Prof. Morton,
of the Stevens Technological Institute,
furnished us is much less.
That estimate was as follows:
Machine shop sixteen laths, carpen
ter shop complete $10,500
Forges, blacksmith tools, etc 2,000
Outfit for school of design 1,000
Foundry 2,000
Assaying apparatus, about 2,500
Machinery for weaving 1,000
Chemical laboratory-, etc., say 4,000
Total $22,500
The estimate furnished by General
Walker, of the Massachusetts Techno
logical Institute, is even less than the
sum last mentioned.
With $50,000, therefore, a first-rate
start could be made, even though a
part of that sum should be required
for real estate.
For years past the newspapers have
been urging Southern farmers to diver
sify their crops, and to plant less cot
ton. The advice is good, but there are
difficulties in the way of following it.
Our farmers are in debt, and they can
not obtain the necessary credit from the
merchants unless they plant a certain
number of acres in cotton. The farmer
who goes to a merchant, to whom he is
already in debt, and asks for turther
credit, with no other showing than
“cukes,” rattlesnake melons, and cere
als in expectancy, will not only be
snubbed, but will probably be informed
that the law will be resorted to in the
immediate collection of past indebted
ness. The majority of our farmers
understand the nature of the situation,
and while they have the desire to try
something besides cotton, they are un
able to make the experiment of diver
sified crops, or if they attempt it their
scale of operations is necessarily limit
ed. Cotton is the only certain money
crop, and so long as the planters are
in arrears with the merchants they will
be found to devote themselves chiefly
to the fleecy staple. It will take years
of close economy and hard work to
make cotton the useful servant of its
producer, instead of his king.—At

A Woman’s Leap Through a
Window.
Young Moore and iiis Mother See
the Face of the Dead Father and
Husband—Three Persons Made
Mad by one Night’s Experience.
Snydertown, June 10.—Last night
Mrs. Moore, a widow, who lives with
her young son in an old dilapidated
house at Brush Valley, near here, was
startled by hearing a shriek, fol
lowed by agonizing yells, in the room
next to hers, occupied by her son, a
youth about sixteen years old. In a
fright she ran into the room and found
the boy almost dead with fear and
trembling in every limb. She quieted
his fears and questioned him, and af
ter considerable delay he told her that
about twelve o’clock, while listening
to the furiously raging storm, he was
startled by seeing through the dim
light of a lamp which burned in the
room a man raising the window. Al
most paralyzed with fear he sat up in
bed, unable to move, until by the aid
of a vivid flash of lightnfng he per
ceived the features of the man to be
those of his father, who was killed in
the mines five years ago. With the
shriek that had so startled his mother
he sank on the bed and the intruder
fled hastily.
THE MOTHER SEES THE FACE.
When the mother had heard his sto
ry she turned her gaze toward the win
dow and beheld the identical face
pressed against the pane. With a
terrific yell she sprang to the window,
and raising the sash sprang through,
striking the ground 25 feet below,with
terrific force and injuring her fatally
The shrieks and moans of the young
Moore brought a few neighbors to the
spot, and they carried the limp body
of the woman into the house and after
a few hours’s labor succeeded in bring
ing her to sensibility. As soon as she
fixed her eyes on her son she burst into
a violent fit of laughter, in which the
son joined and which lasted until both
fell to the floor exhausted. On the
part of young Moore the fit of laughter
was then followed by violent spasmod
ic attacks. He foamed at the month,
barked like a dog and made vicious
snaps at those who attempted to quiet
him.
MADNESS EPIDEMIC.
A young farmer named Herrick went
up to him and, while attempting to
quiet him, caught hold of liis hand.
No sooner had lie done so than he too
was seized with fearful spasms and
withered on the floor in intense agony,
exhibiting the peculiar symptoms man
ifested by the others. The few other
neighbors who had come to the scene
were so badly scared as to he of little
assistance, and they fled precipitately,
leaving the three maniacs alone in the
rooms. Mrs. Moore was stark raving
mad and soon the two young men were
busy at work demolishing the furniture
and striking one another. One of the
women who had at first rushed to the
scene ran home and returned with her
father, an old army sergeant named
Billheimer, who ran into the room and,
grasping Herrick, threw him to the
floor and, putting his foot upon his
breast, hound him with the bed ropes.
He then secured young Moore in a like
manner. Mrs. Moore was bleeding from,
the wound received from falling out ol
the window and lay on the floor insen
sible. Lifting her in liis arms Billhei
mer carried the woman to the open air,
the storm having ceased.
A PHYSICIAN IN ATTENDANCE.
One of the neighbors had mounted u
horse about one hour before and ridden
at full speed across the rough country
road in search of a doctor. After a
long search lie found one and brough t
him to the stricken family. The
young man Herrick was taken home
by his father in the morning and an
other physician attended him. No
hope is entertained of Mrs. Moore’s re
covery. Her son was unusually vio
lent this morning and could scarcely he
held by four men. The case has occa
sioned much excitement among the far
mers throughout the neighborhood.
Mrs. Moore’s husband was killed in
the mining region five years ago. She
and her son are practical, steady peo
pie. Y’oung Herrick is not so violent,
but arrangements are being made for
his removal to an asylum. Mrs.
Moore was in a sinking condition this
evening, and she will hardly live until
morning.
The Proper Position for Sleeping.
London World-
A German, Baron Reichenbach, has
occupied many years in studying the
art of bed making, or rather bed plac
ing, and maintains that improperly
placed beds will shorten a man’s life.
If a mere magnet exercises an influ
ence on sensitive persons, the earth’s
magnetism must certainly make itself
felt on the nervous life of man. In
whatever hemisphere, you may always
sleep with your feet to the equator,
and let your body lie “true as a needle
to the pole.”
The proper direction of the body is
of the utmost importance for the proper
circulation of the blood, and many dis
turbances in the organisms have been
cured by simply placing the bolster in
a different point of the compass from
that it had occupied. Let such as have
hitherto been in the habit of sleeping
with their heads where their feet ought
to be, take to heart the example of the
late Dr. Elscliwester, of Magdeburg,
who died recently at the age of 109
years.
The most unhealthy position, we are
told, is when the body lies due east
and west. Some observers assure us
that to sleep in such a posture is tan
tamount to committing suicide, and
that diseases are often aggravated by
deviations from the proper postures.

Atlanta, June 25.—The commit
ment trial of W. A. Brightwell, char
ged with rape on a young daughter of
Dr. Cook, was concluded this after
noon, after two days of racy evidence,
adroit prosecution and eloquent de
fense. The court-room was packed
during the tiial. During the argu
ment of Hoke Smith for the defense,
while he was commenting on tlie had
character of the girl, Dr. Cook called
him a liar and started for him. Smith
promptly knocked him down, and there
was the greatest confusion in court.
Quiet was restored and the trial pro
ceeded. The court pronounced in favor
of Brightwell, and ordered his dis
charge. This was greeted with loud
cheers of approval throughout the
court-room. The result meets with
public approval. Friday night there
were threats of lynching made against
Brightwell, but since the result of the
trial he is congratulated on all sides
and his innocence established.
Hints to Clerks.
If a lady wants you to show her your
best butter, dig a piece out of the side
next to the tub, so she will get the full
flavor of the wood. By so doing you
will greatly benefit your employer by
your efforts to secure new customers.
If a customer calls for tea, dig your
hand into the tea and weigh it out to
her. If you have measured kerosene
oil a few minutes previous, all the bet
ter for the tea.
If you open a barrel of eggs, take
the four-pound weight and mash in the
head. By so doing, you wi|l not dis
appoint customers who want to buy
cracked eggs, and the barrel-head can
be used much more readily for firewood.
If you should have occasion to ship
an order to the country, be very care
ful to select a codfish box; codfish box
es are generally “stronger” than other
boxes to pack goods in, and if the cus
tomer wishes to know what makes her
coffee taste so odd, convince her that
she is bilious, and that the coffee is the
best Java. Your boss will be thank
ful that he has such a sharp clerk in
his employ.
If you want to cut a bar of soap for
a customer, take a ham knife, it won’t
hurt the soap.
If you want to improve the flavor of
packages of hominy, oat-meal or farina
pack them on the shelves with the scen
ted soap. ft will create a big demand
for such extremely high flavored goods.
While you are serving a customer
whistle all the popular airs of the day.
It will convince her that you patronize
the opera, and will not feel lonesome
while you are waiting upon her.
If you perform all these things faith
fully, and your employer does not in
crease your wages, or take you in part
nership with him, put him down as one
ivho has not brains enough to appre
ciate yonr value, and urge that as a
reason why he does not make any mon
ey in the retail grocery business.—

AYER’S
Cherry Pectoral.
No other complaints arc so insidious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs:
none so trifled with by the majority of suffer
ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting
perhaps from a trifling or unconscious ex
posure, is often hut the beginning of a fatal
sickness. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral has
well proven its efficacy in a forty years’ fight
with throat and lung diseases, and should he
taken in all cases without delay.
A Terrible Cough Cured.
“In 18571 took a severe cold, which affected
my lungs. 1 had a terrible cough, and passed
night after night without sleep. The doctors
gave me up. 1 tried Ayer’s Cherry Pec
toral, which relieved my lungs, induced
sleep, and afforded me the rest necessary
for tlie recovery of my strength. By the
continued use of the Pectoral a perma
nent cure, was effected. I am now 62 years
old, hale and hearty, and am satisfied your
Cherry Pectoral saved me.

Croup. A Mother’s Tribute.
“While in the country last winter my little
boy, three years old, was taken ill with croup;
it seemed as if he would die from strangu
lation. One of the family suggested the use
of AVer’s Cherry Pectoral, a bottle of
which was always kept in the house. This
was tried in small ami frequent doses, and
to our delight in less than half an hour the
little patient was breathing easily. The doc
tor said that the Cherry Pectoral had
saved my darling’s life. Can you wonder at
our gratitude? Sincerely vours,
j\]rs. Emma Gepney.”
150 West 128tli St., New York, May 10, ISB2.
“I have used Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral
in my family for several years, and do not
hesitate to pronounce it the most effectual
remedy for coughs and colds we have ever
tried. A. .1. Crane.”
Lake Crystal, Minn., March 13, 1882.
“ I suffered for eight years from Bronchitis,
and after trying many remedies with no suc
cess. I was cured by the use of Ayer’s Cher
ry Pectoral. Joseph Walden.”
Bylialia, Miss., April 5,1882.
“ I cannot say enough in praise of Ayer’s
Cherry Pectoral, believing as I do that
but for its use 1 should long since have died
from lung troubles. 15. Bragdon.”
Palestine, Texas, April 22,1882.
No case of an affection of tlie throat or
lungs exists which cannot be greatly relieved
hv the use of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral,
and it will ahrays cure when the disease is
not already beyond the control of medicine.
