OGLETHORPE ECHO
PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY
TJJOK L. 'GANTT, Editor and Propr'or
Crawford, Ga,, - - Jane 25,1875.
A New Motor.
The Tribune publishes a long and some
what apocrhyphal story from Philadel
phia, stating that a mechanic there had
discovered anew motor, which was not
steam, electricity, or hot air, and inside
of thirty days a train of Pullman cars
will be drawn from Philadelphia to New
York, propelled by the new motor. The
wonderful new motor is a little machine
that needs only a small supply of water
and air. About a bucketful of water will
be enough to run to New York. The in
ventor’s name is John W.Keeley, and he
calls his invention the “ Keeley Motor.”
It is owned by a stock company com
posed chiefly of New York and Philadel
phia capitalists, who have paid in a
working capital of about $150,000, and
hold stock of the nominal par value of
$1,000,000. They value this stock at fab
ulous prices.
Executions.
It is gratifying to all that the courts
and juries of Georgia are applying the
full force of the law to murderers. An
other murderer will be executed in At
lanta to-day, and two more at Columbus
on the 30th of July. It looks like the
number of executions this year will be
fifty per cent, larger than usual. For
all this, murder seems to go on uncheck
ed. The only way to stop it is by hanging.
A.U else will have no effect.
A Reunion.
Several Southern military companies
attended Boston on the occasion of the
Centennial of the battle of Bunker’s Hill,
where they were entertained in a man
ner that will do more to restore good
feeling between the two sections than
an y Wig else possible. The Southern
soldiers were the lions of the day, and
honors were showered on them at every
hand. Patriotic speeches w r ere made on
both sides.
More Cyclones.
The day of cyclones has not passed.
The telegraph records that Kansas City,
Mo., has been visited by the most de
structive storm since 1844. A London
dispatch, dated the 13th inst., which is
just finding its way southward, repre
sents that Iceland has been visited
by a storm of volcanic ashes and cinders
which devastated many villages, render
ed 10,000 people homeless and killed
many persons.
New Source of Wealth,
The Atlanta Herald has been interview
ing a railroad man in reference to dried
blackberries. The fact was developed
that the little town of Salem, N. C., sent
to market last year dried blackberries to
the amount of four hundred thousand
dollars ! and that the entire income to
that section of the State from this new
industry amounted last year to a million
and a half of dollars.
lijrueh Law.
A resort to lynch law in an old and or
derly community like Jefferson county,
N. excites surprise, especially as the
crimes of Dr. Kusch, who was hanged by
the mob, were no more heinous than
robbery. The Watertown Dispatch,
which describes the lynching and the
inquest, does not intimate that any pro
ceedings are to be taken against the
lynchers.
Depredations.
Mexican raiders are becoming bold in
their depredations. They have lately
gone as far as two hundred miles from the
Rio Grande, captured cattle and driven
them over the borders. Many of them
are being killed by the enraged Texans,
and they in turn are becoming more cruel
and destructive. It seems that the revo
lutionary spirit in the old land is not yet
dead.
A Year Longer.
It is now arranged that the Philadel
phia Jubilee Centennial shall begin and
the Beecher trial end the same day—July
4, 1876. This country must, therefore,
submit to being showered for a whole
year longer with Brooklyn slop. We
wish we could be appointed captain of
an earthquake with choice of ground for
about ten minutes.
Abandoned.
Iceland is to be abandoned. The vol
canic eruptions which during the winter
and spring have been spreading ruin
over a large part of the east firths of the
island, have made it impossible almost
fot the inhabitants to live there, and
many are goiug to Alaska.
Starvation in Kentucky.
The Louisville Courier-Journal says
that the utmost want prevails in the coun
ties of Lee, Elliott, Pike, Floyd, John
son, Carter, Magoffin, Perry and Letcher,
Kentucky, and starvation stares the peo
ple in the face unless aid reaches them
without delay.
Jeff Davis is President again—of a
Texas college.
An infant in Terre Haute, Indiana, was
strangled lately by a eat in' bed.
Grasshopper soOp is now one of the
favorite dishes in the Northwest,
A Milwaukee girl, only five years of
age, walks a roper suspended thirty feet
from the ground.
Look out, now. A newly-born De
troit baby has just expired in predicting
a great religious war.
The Carlists are charged with throw
ing petroleum over one of their prisoners
and setting him on fire.
Mr. John Barron, who left Claren
don county, S. C., some time since to- set
tle in California, has returned to his old
home.
In Clinton, Ind., the women still keep
up the crusade, and pray out of town
every adventurer hardy enough to open
a saloon.
■
Her two sons, aged respectively 90
and 100 years, recently attended the fu
neral of their mother, aged 132 years, at
Acapulco, Mexico.
A Girl of twelve was outraged last
week, in the vicinity of Wilkesbarre, by
three men. Being arrested, they were
recognized in jail by the girl.
The colored Masons of Boston are
much rejoiced over the recognition ex
tended to them by the convention of
Grand Lodges recently held in Gemrany.
Hardly recovered from the grass
hopper plague, Missouri farmers are as
tonished at the sudden apparition of mul
titudinous toads. The Lord only knows
what will come next.
The Democratic State Convention of
Ohio last week nominated “ Old Bill Al
len” for re-election to the office of Gov
ernor, and Gen. Samuel F. Cary for
Lieutenant Governor.
One million two hundred thousand
pounds of honey from a single county
seems prodigious for an industry only
about three years old. Yet this is what
San Diego county, California, claims.
And now it turns out that Abelard
and Heloise were never buried in Perre
la-Chaise Cemetery at all, and that thou
sands of sentimentalists have stirred up
their glands for some unknown bones.
The father of the Boston boy murder
er, Jesse Pomeroy, has taken to drinking
to drown the sorrows caused by his son’s
crimes, and has been before the courts
for drunkenness twice during the past
week.
A New York Herald reporter recent
ly managed to have himself arrested as a
vagrant and “ sent up” for thirty days.
His object was to ascertain the exact
treatment that prisoners received. He
of course remained incog.
A dispatch from Wilkesbarre, Penn.,
announces that resumption of work by
the miners in that region is a fact, not
withstanding the efforts of a few leading
strikers. The strike has caused a loss to
that region of $10,000,000.
+*
The Supreme Court of lowa has deci
ded that colored children are entitled to
the same privileges and accommodations
as the whites, and that, even though sep
arate schools be provided for the
they can still attend the schools of the
white children.
Jesse Pomeroy is to go to prison for
life, instead of being hanged. And we
suppose he will be given a very small
child to kill once in a while. It would
be a shame to deprive the poor little fel
low of his natural amusement, the only
one he really enjoys. Just the t-e-e-en
iest bit of a child, you know—say about
two hours old.
The men of New York are generally
very cynical in their opinion of Beecher’s
character and conduct, but the ladies ap
pear to have faith in him. At a ladies’
homoeopathic fair, lately, two handsome
gold-headed umbrellas and an elegant
gold-headed cane were voted to him as
the most popular clergyman. The next
highest number of votes was given to
Cardinal McCloskey.
Louisville comes to the front with a
new feature in the management of hotel
dining-rooms. At the Galt House a hun
dred negro waiters, all wearing white
spike-tailed coats, run on roller skates
and bear delicious viands to the guests
with lightning speed. Last Wednesday
a collision occurred, and a hail-storm
of vituals covered the wearing apparel
of the bald-headed epicures.
Under the ruins of the old castle of
King Dagobert, the Abbe Denis found a
hen’s nest full of eggs. They had been
there twelve hundred years, hidden from
the light and the air and the changes of
temperature, and the hen herself, per
haps, barely escaped when the falling
walls sealed her eggs hermetically for fu
ture times. Abbe Denis put three eggs
under a hen, and they wen 1 hatched.

and she had a small sack nearly full of bones,
to which collection all parts of her frame had

Knitting Macliiue!
Grange
INGENIOUS AXD SIMPLE.
THE FERFECTION OF MECHANISM.
(Made under the Leech Patents.)
After a large expenditure of time and mon
ey in experimenting on the Knitting Machine
we have been enabled to make a simple prac
tical machine, specially adapted to family use
on account ot its simplicity and the great
range of work it will accomplish. It is more
simple than a sewing machine, and any person
ordinarily skillful will learn its use wi'th only
the assisteuee of the “Instruction Book”
which accompanies each machine. Its sim
plicity, together with its capacity for doing
the great range of work, makes it a matter of
economy for every family to have one, and
will ultimately bring it in general use, as in
the case with the Sewing Machine. The ma
chine will knit—in cotton, wool, silk or linen
socks, stockings, leggins, mittens, wristers,
scarfs, afghans, blankets, Ac., Ac. In fact
the capacity of the machine for making gar
ments is only limited by the ingenuity of the
operator.
Jxo. G. W ells, the well-known publisher
of “ Every Man His Own Lawyer,” writes :
“To Messrs. Jeremy A Follett, manufac
turers of the ‘ Grange’ Knitting Machine.
“ Gents If ‘ brevity is the soul of witso
is simplicity in machinery the soul of merit.
The * Grange’ Knitting Machine pleases me.
Others are ingeniously constructed, but too
complicated for inexperienced hands—too li
able to get out of order. A child can work
the * Grange,’ and there is seeminglv nothing
to get out of order. Believing that to lesson
labor ad As to the wealth of a people—and to
human happiness— I most heartily endorse
