THE OGLETHORPE ECHO. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30,1874. • mm T. li. tiA.VIT, Editor mul Prop. - MAKE UP WITH HEE.” BY M. QUAD. Wo 01l follows have all been there, and we can remembof all about it. We loved her—guess we did ! —and we knew that she loved in return. But one day she gave Sam Tompkins a smile, or she lot Tom Watkins walk home with her under an umbrella, or she did some oth er simple thing, and we got huffy. We loved her all the time, but we sat down and wrote her a letter, dating it at mid night,-saying that we wanted all those letters and that ring and that photo graph back. We hoped she wouldn’t re turn ’em, but we felt a malicious pleas ure in punishing her. The letter was sent, or handed to her personally, and wo met her with a cold “good morning,” as she came to school, but bestowed our best smile on Lavina Wedge, the home liest girl in the town. Our heart ached when we looked across the desks and saw her slyly read ing the letter and trying to keep back tears ; but we went over to the third girl behind to borrow a geography, and to the second girl in front to borrow a grammar, and we were entirely uncon scious of the presence of the girl we loved. We stood beside her in the class as straight as a pole, never letting on we saw her, and the mutual agreement that if one missed the other should do the same in order to keep together, was broken. We tried to feel maliciously glad when we went to the head and left her near the foot, but we couldn’t do it. It went on this way for three or four days. Once in a while we caught her looking at us with a sad, sweet smile, as if she were some poor orphan with no friend in the world ; and her note said that she couldn’t part with the letters and the keepsakes. We held out bravely until it began to hurt us the most, and then we got ready to “make up.” It couldn’t be done suddenly, that would be acknowledging our wrong, We wait ed until noontime, and then as she eat her dinner in her scat we began looking for a lost book. We thought it was un der the seat next to hers, and while we were looking for it she spoke again. Then we coldly replied, but sat down near by and asked if “she had those let ters with her.” She said no, and we moved nearer. She said it wasn’t her fault, and wc said it wasn’t ours, and somehow our fingers toucheu. No one knew what a burden of anxiety was rolled away in five minutes, and how much clearer the afternoon sun shone for it. She seemed dearer than ever be fore, and when the brown eyes cleared the tears away, and the merry dimples came back, we wondered how we could have been such an unfeeling wretch; and yet it was the same thing over in less than six weeks. Ah, 'me! Those lovers who have had a smooth path, and married without hav ing quarrels, and make-ups and jealous ies will never know what true love is. A Much Named Family. —There is a family of thirteen children in Georgia, and these are their names. Mr. J. F. Cheney, of this place, vouches for the truth of the same, as he “ taught some of the young ideas how to shoot.” Catch your breath and go to reading : 1. Mary Ann Elizabeth Rabun. 2.

The former recently gave some of his experiences with tigers. He says: “ When the young tigers are ac customed to intercourse with men they are always tame, but you must not go near them at feeding time. My assistant took a large tiger, two years old, to London in a sailing vessel from Calcutta ; he played with every one on board, and was only shut up in his cage at night. His friend was a dog, a rat-catcher, and they were taken together in the same cage to America. I have often tried to bring up tigers with other animals, and have succeeded best with the common Indian jackal; I believe the scent of the animal prevents the tiger from attacking it. The tiger’s greatest enemies, next to mau, are monkeys. It is interesting to see the courage and dexterity of a mon key when he cannot escape an encoun ter. I once put a great baboon with a nearly full-grown tiger. The baboon leaped upon the tiger’s back and took firm hold with his teeth. The tiger could not shake him off, and it was with great difficulty that we took the baboon out of the cage. He seized the tiger by the neck through the bars, and vented his rage by biting them. I never made the experiment again. “ I had great difficulty in getting ti gers between the years 1865 and 1867, as the Indian jewelers would give five or six rupees apiece for claws, which were used for ornaments. The shikarees, therefore found it better to shoot tigers than to capture them. A good skin is worth two or three times as much in In dia as it is in Europe. You may get from one hundred and twenty to one hundred and fifty rupees for a hand somely marked skin. There is now but little demand for living tigers, so that the shikarees devote themselves chiefly to killing them. And, although hundreds are killed every year, there is still an immense number of them. It is almost incredible how many human beings are annually devoured by them. A tiger generally only becomes a man-eater when other food fails ; but when lie has ouce taken to killing men he keeps at it. I believe that all the tigers in Singapore are man-eaters, for there is no other food for them. It has been proven that one Chinese woodcutter disappears on an average every day. I have seen many tigers from Singapore, old and young, but there were none of them tame. At Madras, on board a steamer, my assis tant was frightened out of his berth one night by a tiger having gnawed through the roof of his cabin. This was one from Singapore. Before the opening of the Suez canal there was a great difficulty about the transport of tigers. I once had seven tigers on board a ship, and twenty-two oxen for food, of which sev enteen died in one week of a pestilence. The tigers had to content themselves* with two pounds of meat per day until more could be procured at Cape Town. There have been many cress-breeds betweeu lions and tigers in English menageries, but the cubs are never reared.” The Elections.— -The following is the Democratic pyramid thus far in 1874 of the State elections, according to their majorities : OHIO OREGON GEORGIA INDIAN A MONT A N A DELAW A II E COLO R A D O ARKA N S A S KENT U C K Y TEN N E S S E E CONNECTICUT W E S T VIRGINIA NEW H A M P S H I R E NORTH CAROLINA The following is the Republican pyr amid : IOWA OMAHA MAI N E VERM O NT RHODE ISLAND GusAlng. —An lowa editor who at tended a party, was smitten with the charms of a fair damsel who wore a rose on he forward, and thus gushed about it: Above her nose There is a rose: Below that rose There is a nose. Rose, nose, Nose, rose, Sweet rose, Dear nose. Whereupon a rival editor thus apos trophises the lowa chap : Above the stool There is a fool; Below the fool There is a stool. Stool, fool, Fool, stool, Olcl stool, Pamphool! Lip Salve. Equal quantities of mutton suet and glycerine melted together; add a few drops of camphor, or perfume with ottar of rose. VALUABLE RECIPES. Diptheria. We hear that this dreadful disease is prevailing to a large extent in upper Georgia, and to those who have seen the terrible sufferings of the victims who have been afflicted with it any remedy will seem a boon; but we offer one that comes from a high authority and is the result of extended experience. We have been handed the receipt by a gen tleman who received it direct from the field of its testing, and whose character places the experiment beyond any doubt. It is called the “sulphuric acid cure for diptheria.” For a grown person, four drops of sulphuric acid diluted in three-quarters of a tumbler of water; with a smaller dose for children. The effect is said to be instantaneous ; the acid at once de stroying the parasites, and the patient coughing up the obstructions. The disease is declared by Mr. Greathead, of Hamilton, South Australia, to be of hydated growth, and that the germs of it floating about in the atmosphere are inhaled by human beings. I would suppose if the action was as asserted, that a smaller amount applied with a swab to the affected parts would have a better effect and be free from its effect on the general system. I would fear taking four drops diluted only by three-quarters of a tumbler of water would have perhaps a very serious effect on the system. It is possible that a certain amount should be swallowed to produce its effect through out the mucous membrane, all of which would be best known to a physician. Recipe to Make Good Bacon. Have well fatted pork, and after one night to cool, smoothly cut, and liams rounded, use for each hundred pounds of hams about Bto 10 pounds salt, 2 pounds brown sugar, 2ounces salt-petre, (nitrate of potash,) and 1 ounce red pepper. These ingredients well dissolved and in 4 or 5 gallons of water to each 100 pounds, or just enough water to cover the meat when placed in a hogshead closely. If there is room, shoulders and middlings could all be put in brine to advantage. The brine should be strong enough to bear an egg, floating it high in the water. After five or six weeks take out of brine, hangup by the skin at the end of the leg below the knee, and the bones connecting the hams cut oft smoothly. Early in March, or before any balmy days start flics in a warm house, taken down and envelope each in a newspaper and place in a rough bag, only deep and wide enough to go in, hock downwards. Remedy for Burns. According to the Boston Journal of Chemistry, the white of an egg has pro ved of late the most efficacious remedy for burns. Seven or eight successive appli cations of this substance stfdthe the pain and effectually exclude the burn from the air. This simple remedy seems prefer able to collodion, or even cotton. Ex traordinary stories are told of the healing properties of anew oil which is easily made from the yolks of hens’ eggs. The eggs are first boiled hard, the yolks are then removed, crushed, and placed over a fire, where they are carefully stirred until the whole substance is just on the point of catching fire, when the oil sep arates and may be poured off. It is in general use among the colonists of Southern Russia as a means of curing cuts, bruises, and scratches. Antidote for Poison by Oak, Ivy, Etc., is to take a handful of quick-lime, dis solve it in water, let it stand half an hour, then paint the poisoned parts with it. Three or four applications will never fail to cure the most aggravated ease. Poison from bees, hornets, spider bites, etc., is instantly arrested by the appli cation of equal parts of common salt and bi-carbonate of soda, well rubbed in on the place bitten or stung. Rice Pudding. Four eggs and 4 spoonsful of sugar beaten together. Let a quart of fresh milk come to a boil, and pour on the eggs and sugar, stirring rapidly. Add a cup of boiled rice and bake. Eat with cream sauce. Stained Table Linen. Table linen which has been repeatedly stained with tea and codec finally be comes dingy, and can be made white and clean again by wetting and laying on the grass in the sun a day or so. Lice on Cattle. The simplest and best of the many remedies for killing lice on cattle is to wash the cattle two or three times with mackerel brine, and every louse will leave and no harm be done. Ginger Snaps. One cup of syrup and one of sugar, halt pound of butter and three esrgs ; table spoonful of pounded cloves and half nutmeg, enough flour to form a dough. Roll thin and bake crisp. To Kill Nut Grass. Cultivate the land in cotton and put geese on as soon as the grass comes up. Do this for 2 years, and you will have no nut grass.
