Apropos of a recent police case, in
which a woman’s life was saved by

adjust domestic difficulties, should
be without one.”
A Row in Jail.— Some weeks ago
the prisoners in the jail at Clarkes
ville, Arkansas, overpowered the
guard, took possession of the arms,
and defied the citizens to capture the
building. They had full sweep of
the streets from the upper windows
of the jail, and killed Dave Winters,
fatally wounded Thomas Paine, be
sides shooting Woolum, Nicholson,
and one or two others. When Wool
urn held up a while handkerchief the
criminals fired upon him, and ran up
a black flag, shouting that they did
not expect and would not give quar
ter. About midnight the citizens
succeeded iu placing six kegs of pow
der beneath the walls of the jail, and
laying a train to a convenient dis
tance, with the intention of blowing
up the jail if the prisoners refused to
surrender. The besieged then gave
up.
Metallic gold can be almost in

Touch it with a strong nitric acid

effervesence, etc., takes place. If no
effect is produced, the article may he
considered as gold on the outside.
This test is, of course, only a very
partial one, as the gilded sham jew
elry may withstand it. To ascertain
the fineness of gold, that is, how
much real gold there may be in or
on a gilded metal or alloy, the speci
men must he analyzed.by a chemist.
The Tower of Babel was a pigmy

1 such structures as the dome of St.
Peter’s, the pyramids of Egypt and
Bunker Plill monument would be
dwarfed into insignificance. The
tower is to be circular in section, one
hundred and fifty feet in diameter at
the base, diminishing to thirty feet
at the top. It is proposed to have
spiral staircases winding around the
center tube for those preferring to
walk up ; but elevators will he pro

The Hired Girl.—There is one
reason, says, the great domestic econ
omist, Max Adeler, why we should
regret to have the present troubles
with domestic servants ended. It is
because women derive so much pleas
ure from discussing the subject.
Place two women together, and it
makes no difference w here the con
versation starts from, it will be per
fectly certain to work around and
around to the hired girl question be
fore many minutes have elapsed.
We have seen an elderly housekeep
er, with experience in conducting
the talk in the right direction, break
into a discussion of Pythagoras and
the doctrine of the transmigration of
souls, and switch off the entire de
bate with such expedition that an
unsophisticated listener would for
some moments have an indistinct
impression that the conversation re
ferred to the inefficiency of Pytha
goras as a washer and ironer, and to
the tendency of that heathen philos
pher to take two Thursday’s out of
every week. And w hen a woman
has an unusually villainous hired
girl, who burns up the coal, wastes
the buttpr, mixes her hair in the bis
cuit, and stuffs her relations w ith su
gar, it is interesting to observe of her
sufferings to those of her neighbors .
and how, as she tells them, she gloats
over her misery, and she feels good
about it. A woman who has a really
competent servant is always in a con
dition of abject wretchedness on such
occasions.

A Picture from Memory.
BY A SCHOOL GIRL.
I was boarding at a private resi
dence not a hundred miles from here,
at school, when the picture from
“real life” of which I intend writing
became indelibly stamped on my
inind—securely suspended in the
“picture-gallery of memory.” One
pleasant sabbath afternoon, in early
spring, on returning from a short
visit home to my boarding house,
seeing no servant to carry my lug
gage in, and fearing to take it up
the front avenue myself, lest compa
ny should be in the parlor and see
me, I went through the lots and back
yard to the rear of the house. Not
only were none of the family with
whom I was hoarding, not visible,
but not a servant was to be seen any
where; the place was so silent and
still—such a death-like calm that I
felt almost like I was walking alone
through some deserted cemetery. I
could not think what had become of
everybody. The house was all open,
and yet I could not see or even hear
the little children, noisy as they gen
erally were. Nothing daunted, how
ever, I went through the back hall
to my room and stepped softly in.
At first, the room being darkened,
I thought it was without an occu
pant—(l had a room-mate, the oldest
daughter of the house) —but on walk
ing about half across the floor I found
I was mistaken; there right before
me was the prettiest tableau, though
unconsciously acted, that I had ever
before seen or expect to see again.
On the bed, made the more conspicu
ous by the dark spread and snowy
pillows, lay Ruby, the sharer of my
room, sweetly sleeping—the most in
nocent looking creature for her age
(fourteen) that I ever looked at,
either sleeping or not, i. e ., consid
ering her decided character, inde
pendence and spirit. She was lying
with her right arm thrown over her
head—the sleeve, falling back, dis
played a firm, white one, encircled
by a richly carved bracelet; the
other, also encircled by a like brace
let, was lying across her breast, and
on the third finger of the plump
hand was a heavy, plain gold ring.
Her hair—not curls of gold nor tress
es raven black, but so nearly red
that one more dip, as the saying is,
would have made it so—was careless
ly caught back from the broad, white
CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, DECEMBER 25. 1873.
forehead by a simple band of scarlet
ribbon, tied in a loose bow at the
side. The dark Bismarck brown
dress, trimmed in biaek velvet, that
enveloped her graceful form—(just
short enough to show the perfectly
moulded feet, encased in dainty
boots)—aided the dark hangings of
the room in throwing the picture out
in bold relief. Her alabaster throat,
in which the clear, rich voice was
hushed, was a pleasing contrast to
the sable band of velvet brought
around and caught together in front
by a handsome gold button. The
rose color in her cheeks was some
what heightened by the reflection of
the bright plaid tie, scarlet and
white, fastened below the lace collar
i by a cameo pin ; and; pendant from
I the small, shell-like ears were cameo
rings to match. Notwithstanding
her unconscious state, there was such
a look of perfect peace, contentment
and happiness on her fair young
face, that it seemed as if Morpheus
I must have chained her (with chains
i of love) so quickly and quietly, with
| out the slightest warning, that her
serene countenance changed not—th
particle from what it was before she
was so kindly borne to the “land of
dreams.” But instead,
“As lie gently closed those eyes so bright,
Tenderly pressing the lids snowy white,
He left the smile on the lips coral red,
And a halo ’round her shapely head.”
To those who are disposed to criti
cise—who think too much was said
before the picture was made visible,
(unless it had been all that imagina
tion had created)—l would say, com
pare the reading of this to a man
digging hundreds of feet through
stone and clay in search of precious
stones, and feeling fully compensated
if lie finds one small diamond , and in
its rough state at that. If you think
him repaid for his trouble, why not
yourself?—for no painter that ever
existed could paint a picture more
lovely than that “sleeping beauty”
just described, because the inanimate
picture equal the animate
one. beautiful the form
might be, ’twould like the expres
sion—the almost imperceptible rising
and falling of the chest, caused by
the regular breathing, and that in
describable something—warmth or
light—not to he transferred to canvas.
I am aware of the fact that I have
but very feebly and imperfectly de
lineated the picture I wished to show’
you; but I trust that out of the
tangled web you can get some idea,
though a faint one, of the beauty and
loveliness of the original, “the living
picture.”
About the Apache Women.
The usual presents to parents for
their daughters are horses, game, fire
arms, blankets and trinkets. Some
girls, daughters of chiefs, cost as much
as twenty-five horses, not on account
of their beauty, but the honor of the
thing. A man can discard or sell iiis
w r ife. She has no voice in the trans
action. Physically the Apaches are
probably one of the handsomest of
the Indian races, especially the fe
males. Their complexion is a nut
brown. Many of the women are
charming brunettes, black hair and
eyes, the latter medium in size and
oblique in shape; magnificent teeth;
good mouths; the contour of the face
oval and emaciated in the men, round
and full in the women. In figure
medium, the men averaging five feet
five inches, the women four feet elev
en inches; the men deficient in, the
women replete w ith adipose tissue.
The chests, shoulders and arms of the
men are very lean, flabby, and mus
cles illy developed, those of the
women full and round, the result in
the former of total abstinence from,
of the latter entire monopoly of labor.
The women with constitutions unim
paired by the vices of the men attain
a greater age and are usually heavier
in weight. Men attain full physical
development at twenty to twenty
two, women at fourteen. Many girls
become mothers at from ten to 1 wel ve,
and average 130 pounds at the latter
age. Their health is usually good,
the only disease prevailing being
rheumatism. —Salt Lake Tribune.
A Haunted Locomotive.
A locomotive that is possessed of a
devil is the sensation at South Man
chester, Conn. The engine is called
the “Pioneer,” formerly the “Canon
chet,” and belongs to the Hartford,
Providence & Fishkill Railroad.
She was sold to another road recent
ly, but owing to some misunder
standing was never delivered, and to
get her out of the way the company
sent her from Hartford to South
Manchester, a week or two ago, to be
housed in the engine-house there, i
She behaved herself like any well
bred engine the first two nights, but
on the third the watchman heard;
strange noises issuing from all parts j
of her, Hoist's unlike anything he ev
er heard before. This continued ev
ery night, and was heard by his
brother, who came to keep him com
pany in the uncanny place. Then
the story got abroad that there was a
haunted engine at the shop, and be
lievers and unbelievers began to flock
around. The noises continued to be
audible. There was a rapping, now
in the fire-box, now in the boiler, and
anon in the‘smoke-stack, as though
someone inside were striking the
iron with a muflled stick, and a hol
low and dismal reverberation fol
lowed each blow.
Tho most careful and thorough ex
amination failed to disclose any
trickery or possibility of any, and
the impudent spirits would keep up
the racket even while the scrutiny
was going on. People go to the en
gine-house and stay nights to hear
the manifestations, and it is related
that one young man who was making
unseemly jests about the ghosts sud
denly grew deathly pale and fell in a
swoon. When he recovered he said
he saw a ghostly figure glide out of
the engine and point its bony finger
at him. There are divers theories to
account for the business. A gentle
man from Pittsburgh, who knows all
about iron ami locomotives, says it is
the molecular action of the iron
striving to return from the artificial,
fibrous state, as seen in wrought iron,
to the granulated or pig-iron state.
The believers in the spark theory
floor him at once, however, by ask
ing why the noises are loudest on al
ternate nights, and why they always
occur between nine oclock, p. m., and
five, a. m. — Springfield Republican.
President Grant and the Ex Con
federates.
The Washington correspondent of
the New* York Herald relates the
following:
Colonel John S. Mosby to-day call
ed on the President, forjthe first time
since the Virginia gubernatorial can
vass. He was received most cordial
ly by the President and several mem
bers of the cabinet. He offered his
services in case of a war with Spain,
and the President promised him a
command, and said there was no
immediate danger of war; but in
case there should be, he had perfect
confidence in the late Confederate
soldiers, and intended to give the
commissions equally to the soldiers
of the Federal and Confederate
armies. He spoke of Hon. Alexan
der H. Stephens most kindly, and
was glad that he had been returned j
to Congress.
The President said that in his
forthcoming Message he intended to
recommend universal amnesty.
Colonel Mosby told the President j
that the Virginia election w T as not a
condemnation of his (Grant’s) admin- \
istration, and that he was stronger j
than ever in that State. The Presi
dent agreed with him, and was not
at all dissatisfied with the result.
He expressed himself gratified at the
tone of General Kemper’s speeches,
and favored Mosby’s policy of recon
ciliation between the administration
and the white people of the South.
The President said that as long as he
was in office the holders of appoint
ments made through Mosby’s influ
ence, should not he turned out, no
matter w ho tried to oust them ; that
hereafter he intended to appoint to
office from the South the best men
for the positions, and that he was
very much gratified at the good feel
ing manifested by the Virginia con
servatives tow’ards his administra
tion , and w r as ready to respond to it.
Fsili and Tea as Food.
The London Times sharply contro
verts the assertion made by Dr. Ed
ward Smith to the British Associa
tion, that fish is rather a relish than
food, and contains little more nutri
ment than water. As opposed to
this statement the investigations of
M. Payen are cited, who proves that
the flesh of fish on the average does
not contain more w r ater than fresh
beef, and lias as much solid substance
as the latter. For instance, the flesh
of salmon contains 75.70 per cent, of
water, and 24.207 per cent, solid sub
stance; while beef (muscle) contains
7".88 per cent, of water, and 24.12 per
cent, solid substance. The flesh of
herring contains still less water than
that of salmon, and even flat fish are
as rich in nitrogenous substances as
the best wheaten flour, weight for
weight.
Another statement made by I)r.
Smith, that the amount of nutriment
contained in an ounce of tea is infini
tesimal, is met with the assertion
that, while tea is no “nutriment” in
the ordinary sense, the individual
who takes tea after his meals feels,
without being able to define it, that
it has a favorable effect upon certain
highly important functions in his
body, that digestion is accelerated
and facilitated, and his brain-work
benefitted thereby. Though not nu
triment, tea is thus alleged to possess
a really higher value, in medical
properties of a peculiar kind.
An Elopement With a New Dash
of Romance in it.
Some things are unaccountable.
Such is the fact with regard to a
singular escapade, w hich lately oc
cured not a thousand miles away.
The young man’s name was Cran
dall, and he was formerly employed
in an attorney’s office in St. Joseph,
but of late his residence has been in
a town some little distance aw*ay.
For some time he has been paying
assiduous attention to a young lady,
the daughter of a well-to-do anti
highly respected citizen of the place
where our story is located. The
young lady received his address fa
vorably, but the stern parent was in
exorable. An elopement was there
fore planed, and a few days ago the
lady packed her trunk, and just at
the dusk of evening they were seen
to take the southward bound train
at the railroad station. Arrived at a
station some twenty miles away they
alighted, and spent the night in
walking up and down the platform,
or sitting demurely on the steps and
gazing at the moon. Early next
morning they took the northern
train for home, where they arrived
early in the day, and where the
young man was married iu the even
ing—to another girl. There were no
tears, no explanations to anybody,
and the cause of the sudden turn in
the aspect of affairs is still a mystery.
The facts are exactly as we give
them, and the young man is well
known to many of our citizens.— St.
Jos Herald.
Immigration Prospects.
Rev. Tilman R. Gaines expects to
start for New York city on Thurs
day, where he will give his particu
lar attention to filling all orders for
immigrants that may be made by
the people of the State. Mr. Gaines
has been hard at work in this matter,
among other things making a tour
of some of the upper counties, where
he explained, and made speeches in
the interest of this project. It
would seem that his efforts are meet
ing with some of the reward they
are so deserving of, as a number of
orders have been received, and con
tracts are under way for many more.
Of the first lot he will see to the for
warding of, twenty-eight are to go
up the Greenville road, and about as
many more along the line of the
Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta
road. He expects io send one hun
dred to Anderson county. We are
authorized to state, that lie will give
his personal attention to the selec
tion of cooks and house servants.
During Mr. Gaines’ absence, his busi
ness here will he left in the charge
of a well known, competent gentle
men, notice of which will be given
in due time. — Union Herald.
It is a curious fact, as reported by
’ Mr. Livingston Ston°, that there are
no fish in the Merced river, or any
i of its tributaries, above the walls of
the Yosemite Falls. The streams
which unite to form the Merced
above the Falls are the Nevada or
Main stream, Lenaya.the lllilonette,
and the Yosemite, all well supplied
with clear, cold and beautiful water,
but totally destitute of fish of any i
kind. Connected with these streams
are nearly a hundred lakes, from 200
yards to a mile in diameter, and
equally destitute of life. The average
altitude of these lakes is about 8,000 j
feet above the level of the sea. A
similar absence of fish life to that re
ferred to by Mr. Stone is seen in the
upper waters of the Hudson, in the
Adirondack region. In ascending
Mount Marcy, via Lake Henderson, I
from the old Adirondack Iron-
Works, Avalanche Lake, quite a
large and deep hotly of water, is met
with, and this is said to he uninhab
ited by any kind of fish; and it is j
certain that Opalescent river, the bed
of which travelers ascend in climbing I
the mountain, and which is a stream
of considerable size, is likewise en
tirely destitute of fish. The only j
form of animal life that was observed
by a party of naturalists who were j
engaged in the inquiry consisted of 1
the larvie of some species of salaman
ders, probably Desmognathus fuscers ,
the adults of which are very abun-:
dant on the upper levels of the moun
tain.
Where Nickel Comes From.
Many people are not aware that
the nickel from which our smaller
coins are made, comes from a single
mine, which is the only one in the
country that is being worked. This
mine is situated in Lancaster county,
Pa. It has been worked fur seven
teen years, and developed to a depth
of over tw’o hundred feet. The
length of this lode is between two
and three thousand feet, and it pro
duces from tw’O hundred to six hun
dred tons per month, employing in
the working of the mine a force of
one hundred and seventy-five men.
In the arts nickel is rapidly coming
into favor as a subststute "for silver
in plating iron and other metals.
Its commercial demand is rapidly
increasing, and, as it is much cheap
er than silver, it will undoubtedly be
adopted in the manufacture of many
articles as a substitute for that more
precious metal. One mine, the
Mine-la-Motte tract, Missouri, was
worked from 1850 to 1855. The ore
was the sulpheret, associated with
lead and copper. About SIOO,OOO was
realized from the croppings of the
vein. Croppings of nickel ore are
found also in Madison, Iron, and
Wayne counties, Mo. The refined
metal is worth three dollars per
pound.
Advice for Ladies.
A wife must learn how to form her
husband’s happiness; in what di
rection the secret and comfort lies.
She must cherish his wwkmsss by
working upon them ; she must not
rashly run counter to his prejudices.
Her motto must be, never to irritate.
She must study never to draw large
ly upon the small stock of patience
in man’s nature, nor to increase his
obstinacy by trying to drive him;
never, if possible, to have scenes. I
doubt much if a quarrel, even if
made up, does not loosen the bond
between man and wife, and some
times, unless the affection of both he
very sincere, lastingly. If irritation
should occur, a woman must expect
to hear even a strength and vehe
mence of language far more than the
occasion requires. Mild as well as
stern men are prone to this exaggera
tion of language. Let not a woman
be tempted ever to say anything sar
castic or violent in retaliation. Ttue
bitterest repentance must needs bil
low such an indulgence if she do.
Men frequently forget what they
have themselves said, but seldom
what is uttered by their wives.
They are grateful, too, for forbear
ance in such cases, for while assert
ing most loudly that they are right,
they are often conscious that they
are wrong! Give a little time, as
the greatest boon you can bestow to
the irritated feeling of your husband.
Dream*.
If a man dreams that the devil is
after him, it is a sign that he had
butter settle his subscription bill.
If he dreams of an earthquake and
a turmoil generally, it is a sign that
he is going to marry.
If ne (being a' married man;
dreams of some fearful, mysterious
danger, it is a sign that his mother
in-law is coming to spend a few days
with her darling daughter.
If he dreams that his head is in
danger, and that his hair fails out, it
is a sign that he will have a quarrel
with his wife.
If he dreams of being accosted by
a strange man who insists on talking
to him, it is a sign that he had better
know all the policemen.
If he dreams of speaking familiar
ly to a ghost with horns and tail, it
is a sign that he had better reduce
his liquor bill.
If he dreams of making a fool of
himself, it is a true sign it is so.
If he dreams of catching a black
bird and it flutters and struggles to
get away, it is a sign that a wild
horse will runaway with his girl.
The Heady Itooster.
Roosters are the pugilists among
birds, and having no suitable shoul
ders tew strike from, they strike
from the heel. When a rooster gets
whipped, the hens ail march oph
with the other rooster, if ho aint half
so big or handsum. It iz pluck that
wius a hen. boosters az a class won’t
do enney household work; yu kan’t
git a rooster tew pay enny altenshun
tew a yung one. They spend most
ov their time in crowing and strut
ting about, and wunce in a while
they find a worm, which they make
a great fuss over, calling their wives
up from a distance, apparently to
treat them; but just az the hens git
thare, this elegant cuss bends over
and gobbles up the worm. Jist like

patches. Every message has to be
written four times. On one day the
average time was only six minutes
and thirty-five seconds. The shortest
average time was one minute and
lour seconds. This is wonderful, yet
steps are being taken to introduce
improved instruments by which the
time can be still furthur reduced.
Grape-stones are said to boa bet
tor sultstitute for coffee than chiceory
i is. When roasted and ground they
are said to possess an aroma very
much like that of East India coffee,
and the beverage obtained therefrom
is about the same as coffee in taste,
though inferior in quality. The bev
erage furnished by many of the res
taurants is very far from being “about
the same as coffee in taste,” and it is
probable that a decided improve
ment could be made on the present
article by the use of grape-stones.
A young gentleman telegraph
operator in Hartford, after reya-ated
calls for a young lady oierator in an
other office, at last got a response,
and then he telegraphed back toiler:
“I have been trying to get you for
the last half hour!” In a moment
the following spicy reply came trip
ping back to him over the wires
from the telegraphic maiden: ‘That’s
nothing. There is a young man
here been trying to do the same
thing for the last two years, and he
hasn’t got me yet.”
