THE CUTHBERT APPEAL.
Vol. I.
Cuthbert, Georgia, Friday, June 7, 1807.
N"o. 3:2.
rBKrRpT v*. Piacticb.—A litjuor deni
er was arraigned before Judge $hippoe,
fif Knot Grrcwich, Rhode Island, lust
week, and although bin tiolntiooa of Iho
law were notorious, tin: witnesses liroko
(lowii under tho skillful manipulation of
the defendant's counsel, and an acquittal
wns demanded. The Judge reviewed
tbe- evidence, admitted its inefficiency,
and said that under ordinary circtini-
MtunccM tbe defondant would doubt'd -s
l»c entitled to a diacborge; "but,” bo ad
ded, "whatever may be tho lack of proof
in the case immediately before us, the
court euunut ignore tbe cvidunco of ite
awn sense. The court him frequently
drank at your bur, nnd wetild stultify it
self if it professed any doubt of your
guilt, 'i be court, therefore, imposes
u|Hjn you 11 line ol twenty do lors nnd
costs. If Massachusetts officials were
equally frank, says tbe Springfield Re
publican, our prohibitory law would bo
enforced to a charm.
This is the way tho puritanical indi
viduals bring up outsiders, and at tho
same time take their quiet inside drinks.

Saviour said.
Wast* or War—Havoc or Lire.—
M. Burrub, writing lately in tbe Econo
mists Beige, says thnt from 1701 to
1814, France, besides the 250,000 men
then in her army, raised and consumed
•1,550,000, of w hich Nanoleoo'i enscrip-
(ionsamounted to 2,470,000. If weaud
tbe 300,000 Loyultista sacrificed in civ-
il war, tho sum total must exceed 5,000,-
000. In tho last ten years Napoleon
wms very sparing
of French soldiers,
and used in his wars largely Italian,
Belgian, Dutch, and other contingent.
11 we sitpposo nn equal number lost on
the other side, tho entire loss of Enropo
during the twenty three years of war
must have been 200 a day ; in all, mote
than 10,000,000 ! Such is the waste of
life fruUJ war.
Courting nude r Difficulties.
Kato Blalte was the only daughter of
Jitoob lilako, tho old miser of West
Brook.
She was more than commonly pretty,
and her frank, engaging manners en
hanced the charms of golden hair, pearly
skin, and eyes like tho blue skies of sum
mer. At her lather’s death aho could
bo heiress of tbe nico little sum of sov-
nty thousand dollars, nnd though men
generally profees not to be iullucncttl by
pecuniary matters in affairs of love, it is
to bo reasonably supposed that this pro
spective wealth by no means lessened
the number of her ndorers. Among tbe
most ardent nnd perhaps sinccro, was
Will Dartmouth, with u heart larger
than his pnrao, nnd very little thought
or care for consequences.
Fortunately, old Jacob never suspect
ed tho partiality of his daughter for
Will; lie would nave put her on bread
nnd water before bo would hove con
sooted to tho slightest intimacy with
Will Dartmouth.
Jacob Blake was not in favor of mar
riage. Tltoso who knew his oirouin
stances wero not surprised nt this, for,
to uso a phrase more expressive than el
egant, Mrs. Blake was a Tartar, with
temper enough for twoTnrtnrs.
Old Jacob bad to'wnlk Spanish'for
the most purt, or suffer tho conse
quences, which usually descended on
bis bead in tho shape of any domestic
utensil which happened to be lying
uround handy.
A maiden sister of Mr. Blake resided
in the family, whoso principal business
seemed to be to act as a sort of echo to
I,or brother nnd his wife. Whatever
they thought, she thought too.
She regurded it as a primary sin for
Kate to associate with tho young men,
and this doctrine was peraeveringly drill
ed into her niece, who, though she never
dissented, had her owu idea on the sub
joet.
One day Mr. Blsko and his wifo wem
to Dedham to attend a fuir, nnd Miss
Peggy being absent at a friend's, Katie
was left shine. Will Dartmouth, in
some w ay, learned tho condition of af
fairs, and early in tho Afternoon ho camo
over to keep Kate company.
As her parents were not expected
home until the evening, Will felt perfect
ly secure in stopping nwilo after ten ;
and ho and Kate were having a jolly
tiaio pipping corn in tho old fushioned
frying pan, over tho huge wood lire,
w hen there was tho sound of voices at
tho door. ‘Good gracious P cried Kate,
turning white with alarm, 'there is
Aunt Peggy. Oh Will 1 whut shall we
do ? she will scold me to death ; and
father will bo furious. Got under tho
lounge quick I Oh Will, do, for my
take 1’
Will could i.ot withstand (he plead
ing in Kale’s eyes, and ho deposited
himself in the designated place.
Kato put out the light, and darting in
to mi udjuccDt room, m a momenl wus
apparently asleep.
Peggy's voice was beard in tho hall
‘Be careful Mr. Pike. There’s a loose
board there; I don't want to disturb
my niece. Softly it may croak.'
'Peggy, deer, where ure yon?' re
sponded the squeaking voice of Bqniro
Pike, a widower of a year. ‘1 can't toll
w hich way you have gone.'
‘There, Daniel ! be easy. Good
Heavens! Daniel l'iko. Well,I never I'
uttd a report burst upon tho alt like the
uncorking of a champagne bottle.
"Oh my !' criod Aunt Peggy, ‘what
would my brother Jacob say? I de
clare, I haven't been kissed by a mutt
since- *
Let Jake mind his own business !’ re
torted tbuBquiro. ‘You and 1 can take
care of ours without his helpand
there followed a report similar to the
first, only 11 little more so.
•Do be quiet, Daniel, nnd let mo get n
light Bel tight down there uforo the
lire nnd make yourself at home.’
A light was soon procured. Teggy
divested herself of her wrappings, ami
blushing, like a girl in her locus, sat
down opposite the Bqniro.
‘It's ii tine evening,' said Peggy, by the
way of opening the conversation.
•Very,’ replied the Bquire, di
his arm over hor hack.
‘Oh, good gracious, Daniel! don’t set
quite so nigh to me. I—that is 1 don’t
consider *it strictly proper. Mercy'
whut's that?'
Both listened attentively.
‘It wus the wind rattling against the
window, I guess,' suid the bquire.—
•Don't you go to getting so nervous,
P«gyy-
‘I thought it was Kutio wuking tip,
and if she should, I should never beur
the fust of it.’
‘Hark ! there is a noise—I—'
'Gracious airth 1 it's bells. It's Jake
nnd his wife coming back ! What shall
I do ? We’re done! Oh Squire,'taint
right for us to lio nothing one to '(other!
Do lidp mo ! What shall I do ?’
‘Tell me where to go Peggy 1 Say tho
word, I'll go anywhere for your sake, if
it’s up the chimney.'
'Under the lounge, quick ! It’s wide
und will hold well. Quick 1 don't delay
a minute.’
The Bquire olieyed, but tho space wns
so well filled that it wus with difficulty
ho could squeeze himself into so small a
compos*. And just as ho succeeded,
Mr. Blukc and bis wife entered tho room,
floundering along in the dark, for Peggy
over tho cricket, nnd fell headlong
against Peggy who was standing bolt
upright trying to collect hor scattered
senses.
The deuce!’ cried Jnko,'look out
there old woman, or you’ll bo down over
mo. It's duik ns pitch here, and Pvu
fell over the rocking cheer or tho churn,
1 can’t toll which. Hullo! wliutsthnt?'
reaching out his hand to feel his eitun
lion, and coming in contact with tho
bearded face of tho Squire. 'By golly I
it's got whiskers; Peg I Peg! where
are you ? and whoro’s Kate ? and whnt
is this ?’
The Sqttiro did not relish thla assault
on his hi miiito appendages, and by way
oi retaliation he guve a series of vigor
ous kicks which bit Will Dartmouth in
tho region of tho Btouinch and stirred his
bile.
'Look hero, old chap I’ exclaimed Will,
'in put feel ly willing to share my quar
ters with yon, seein’ ns we're both in for
it; but you'd bo : ter not undertuke to do
that again.’
‘Heaving* !' ejneuUited Peggy ;
whoso voice is Ihut ?’
'Thai's what I want to know I* cried
Jako, struggling for an upright position,
llnllo! who’s fell down over my logs ?’
'I’ll lot you know who’s down and
who’s up !' said the voice of Mrs. Blake;
and tho old lady scrambled up, only to
go instantly down ngniu ovor a cuair.
'Jake where nro you? Get up this in
stant, or I’ll shake your breath out when
I pet my feet again.'
Juke started to obey, nnd just then
Tigo, tho watch dog, who, hearing the
uproar, matinged to break loose from
hiH lair, rushed upon Iho scene, and set
up his best bow-wow.
The Bqniro had a mortal horror of
dogs, nnd neither *(eur nor love was
strong enough to keep him quiescent
now. He sprang to bin foot with a yell;
Will followed. Kiltie, full of alarm for
her lover, hopped out of bed and appear
ed with a flaming tulluw dip—Peggy
Hung her arms around tho Bqniro with a
cry of terror, nnd Jako was silent with
amazement. Mrs. Hlukc was tho only
one who possessed her wits. Bhe seized
tho corn poppor, mid laid it about bur
with vigor.
Her uim wns not always correct, nnd
in consequence, eho smashed the look
ing glass into n thousand fragments, nnd
knocked down the clock from its sholf,
nnd demolished two bowls nnd a pitcher
that wore quietly reposing on tho man
tel.
Tho Bquire broke from Peggy’s em
brace nod dashed out at the window,
Will followed him and Mrs. Blake
would havo pursued by the same outlet,
hut she was a little too lurgo to get
through with easo.
A dreaded oounoil was hold ; Jake
stormed, Mrs. Blake threatened; and nt
last Katie nnd Peggy confessed. And
Juke and his wife were so rejoiced nl
the prospect of getting rid of Peggy
that they forgave their daughter nnd
took Will Dart mouth home at the end
of the year.
Aud in due lime Peggy nnd tho Squire
were made one flesh.

The Hot SprlugH of Ati*f rullit.
Dr. F. Von Iloclistelter. of the
Austrian Scientific Expedition, describes
tho wonderful region known ns the
Auckland Lake district, in Australia.—
The principal attraction is Kotomuhana
(worm lake), of which tho writer says :
Boiling water springs rise up along
tho banks nnd from tliu bottom of the
lnko. The whole lake is warmed by
them, but tho temperature of tho water
differs considerable in various places, as
it is nearer or further from tho spring.
At many points oven in the centre,
the thonnonioucter rises from 80 deg. to
104 dog. F., while near its stream it is
only 78 8 deg. Fish of no kind can
live in it. Tho lake is a favorite resort
of innumerable aquatic birds, thnt build
their nests on its warm banks, while
they find their fiiod in the waters nnd

riri.
Visitors who intend to stay a few
days ut tho lako nro roouinmeiidod by
the natives to select ns their quarters
the small island l’unl. This is a rock
12 feet high, 250 feet lon^ und nearly
100 feet w ide. Tho continual roaring,
rushing, singing, buzzing, boiling sound,
with the intense heat of the ground,
impresses a feeling of terror. Tho
whole islntid is nothing but a torn nnd
fractured rock, softening and decompos
ing by steam und gas, und may nt any
moment tumble to pieces nnd vanish in
the hot water of tho Jake. Hot water
hubbies up everywhere und whenever u
hole is made in tho ground hot steam
bursts forth, which is used for cooking
potatoes and meat.
On tho eastern bank nro the most
important of the springs, the most mag
nificent of ull hot springs at present

of the lake, 80 feet above the lovol, with

feet higher, looking beautifully blue in

A path leads from the foot of tho To

of80 or 40 feet.
There nro uhout 25 large hot springs

A Great Biboical Opkkation.—Dr.
Johnson, of Baris, an American, recent
ly performed u difficult operation, in
connection with another American phy-
sicinn, upon the person of n Mrs. Booth,
ulso an American, nnd from Massachu
setts Shu had a tumor on the bowels
which weighed forty pounds. It had
absorbed all the strength of tho patient,
so deforming her that Iter ribs wero
distended to a monstrous size. Bhe
was told that she might live a few years
if she declined the o|N.*raliori ; but that
if she acepted it she Imd n barely possi
ble show of surviving "Thun,” said she,
"let it bo done " After administering
chloroform to the patient, her abdomen
wus laid open with the knifo nnd her
bowel* taken out. Then a probe with
a vulvo in it wns reached up to tho tu
mor, und through the hollow tube of the
proho, the parasite made to discharge. It
was found to be a cellular tumor, with thir
ty odd cells in it, and ouch coll had to be
opened. When the operation was done
and tho abdomen sowed up the subject
hud declined in weignt from one hun

IIow a Concord Lawyer Lost
Ills Hat.
About tho time of tho inauguration of
President Pierce, n gentleman named
Parker, belonging in Concord, joined in
tho general rush to witness tho great
ovation. Our friend, who is an attor
ney ol some note, has not been much of
n trnvoler, but ho is well owaro that
thoro nre such things ns tho swapping of
umbrellas and hats nthiglutels. To
guard against 1 ho loss or exchange of
his new "tile,” therefore, Mr. P. gut a
printer to strike him off n four inch
square card, upon which looked out of
the crown of his lint, in hold two lino
pica "Asa Parker, Attorney at Law,
(j'oncord, Now Hampshire.”
Thoro wns a great rush lit Willard’s
on Inauguration Day. The dinner wns
a lino one, the champagne delicious,und
after an hour’s sitting, the New En
glanders lull (he table ill the merriest
nmod imaginable.
"Now, fellows,” said Parker ns they
emerged from the dining room, "every
man look out for his own bur; I've got
u murk on mine thnt nobody can mis
take." But thoro was some sort of mis
take somewhere, notwithstanding. It
was some time before Mr. P. found his
hot nt nil, nnd even then he labored tin
dor the impression thnt it hnd grown n
tritlo older since he went to dinner. But
the placard was in the crown, nil right,
and "Asa Parker, Attorney nt I.aw,
Concord, New Hampshire,”stnred him
in tho face na lie looked inside.
"All light, follows,’’ said Parker.—
"My hat's safe, any how." But ho only
put the list on tho top of his head, for
it was entirely t<*o small to go on.
"What’s the matter, Parker ?’’ in
quired uno of tho purty, an the uttornoy
attempted to pull on the hat.
"Oh, nothing,” responded Parker,
again looking into the lint, " nothing ;
it's nil right, of oourse, 'Asa Parker,
Attorney nt Law, Concord, New Hamp
shire’—certainly, I know it must be my
hat."
And again he nltomntodU pull tho lint
on. The pnrly around could illy sup
press laughter nt tho comioal motions of
tho cmbmruMud luwycr, but ho did not
appear to notice it, und industriously on-
dunvorud to muku the hat fit, somehow.
In u state of tho inostnbsoluto bewilder
ment ho nt longth turned to ono of the
party nnd presenting tho hat, desired
him to toll him what numu was in it.—
Tiie man rend :
"Asa Parker, Attorney at Law, Con
cord, Now Hampshire."
"All right, of course," exelninted
Parker, again attempting to pull on tho
hat only to his still greuter bowlder■
rnunt.
"Will you have tho kindniMS to tell
mo who I am ?” said ho, still nioro per
plexed.
"Certainly," said tho man addressed,
"you are 'Asa Parker, Attorney at Luw,
Concord, Now HnuiMhiro.’"
• "Ofcourse,'' said P.,"l know it; "mid
ho made one more trial at tho lint. It
would he very difficult to sny whether
Mr. Parker knew himself from "a hole
iu tho ground” about this juncture. Bo
looked again into the hut, nnd read the
inscription nnd then nt his friends, who
still preserved straight faces, and finally
oavkd. "Gentlemen,"said J’. with in
tense gravity, "If I uni Asa l'arkor, at
torney ut law, Concord, Now Hampshire
all I nave to say is that iny head has
swelled most confoundedly since I went

A Romantic A flair,
A wealthy gentleman of Cincinnati,
not long since, loft thnt city, resolved
upon engaging in business in New
York, and before doing so had 01 oosion
to visit a certain family with whom hu
hnd been for a long period of time on
terms of friendly intimacy. In this fam
ily was nn interesting young lady for
whom ho hud evinced mi attachment of
it more tender eharanter than that of
mere friendship, and who, happily for
his foitunnto self, returned his affection
with all the fooling of a youthful heart.
On hearing of the departure for this
city of the ono bIio held so dear, after iu
vain attempting to tnuko him desist
from his journey, she formed the reso
lution of accompanying him unknown
to hor parents. The gentleman en
deavored to induce her to abandon her
wild idea, os lie termed it, but she would
listen to no appeal, and made all the
preparations necessary to leave her
home clandestinely with him, after hav
ing inudo him promise that ho would
not reveal her projects to any member
of tho faintly. Tho pair arrived safely
in this city, nnt] put up at tho Metro
politan hotel, tho gentleman fronting tho
young lady with nil tho respect duo a
sister by a brother, lie engaging sepa
rate apartments for hor exclusive occupa
tion. They had not boon in town over
two days before R dispatch wns roceivod
from her father by tho authorities at po-
lieu headquarters, reqiiostinpr that tho
gentleman who had "eloped" with his
dnughUr should bo arrested. Under in
structions from bis chief, detective Elder
arrested the gentleman ut the hotel und
he was held iu custody until tho arrival
of the young lady's lathor. The old
gentleman was very naturally in a stalo
of great perturbation, but on learning
how matters stood, and that thoro roully
wus no Buch tiling as a criminal elope
ment ho appeared to ho somewhat ro-
lonvod from his fearful apprehensions,
nnd to satisfy his daughter and tho man
for whom she hnd abandoned homo nnd
family, preparations wore made for tho
marnuge of tho pair. All parties to tho
transaction wero thus rendered happy.
The wedding was celebrated in duo

tion Is a newly invented cravat pm.—
Everybody has seen how bells nro rung
in all tho new hotels. Instead of pulling
tho bell and making String by ah oxer-
lion of mecl.nnieul force, wo press a
small button in tho wall ; this is connec
ted by nn elootrio wire with a little
alurm tho ulupper of which keeps on
jingling ho long as tho button i'h pressed.
Lift tho hand from tho button nnd the
alarm ceases. This principle a French
jowoller has adopted to cravat pins.—
Tho knob of tho pin is of various devi
ces. It is a hare with a tabor, or a
drummer with his drum, or a dentil's
head with a loose under jaw, or a doy.
Whoover chooses to wear such a pin
has connected with it by n wire, a small
electrical battery in one of his pockets.—
He puts his hand into his pockets, touch
es a button thoro, und off'goes the pin.
The linro begins to pattor on Iho lulior,
tho drummer to bent on hid drum, the
denth's bond to chatter and roll its hor
rid oyod, or tho dog to bark and snap,
when the hand id lifted from the button
instantly nil is quit.
In tho British department a curious
swan attracts great attention. When
we approach the bird wo see him flout
ing as if in water, and resting his baud
behind hid wings. He is wound up,
nnd ho begins to raise his head with all
tho proper motions of tho su nn. Ho
curvs his neck in pride ; ho espien some'
fish in the water before him ; lie lowers
hid bond to seize ono ; ho holds it in his
bonk fir an instant; ho then swallows
it, and, last of nil, roturnes gracefully to
rest. Tho uotion id very pretty, mid
calls forth loud applause. Thu bird,
however, is indued very old, though l»i«
plumugu may be new. Its meenunisin
was supposed to have been constructed
by a Mr. Wcokes, who lived in the reign

your congregation as dear brethren ?’’

An Irishman who had left his native

was attacked oa his first arrival, m

himself, but tho stone was frozen down.

An On. Stout.—Ram Slack, who own
ed a snug little farm, was somowhat
startled otio day by an offer of more
than twieo the worth of it in greenbacks;
"Shall you sell tbe farin', Samuel ? ,f
asked his wife.
"Certainly I shall," said Rain, "if thw
excited individuals don’t buck out or
provo to be a couple of escaped lunatics-
us I half suppose them to be."
Anil sell he did.
After the bargain was made nnd tho
money paid, ono of the men took Sum
nnd his wife to tho back of the farm,
where tiiure wns a small excavation in
the ground fillod op by tho 1 count ruin.
"Bee what you’vo lost nnd wu'vu gain
ed I” said the excited individual, scoop
ing up somo water in nn old tin cup, and
holding it up for their inspection.
Sure enough, tho oil was half an inch
thick on tho top of the water.
Bain was indignant.
"If he hadn’t boon a fool," as ho said
to hiH wife,"and watched for indications,
lie might havo died a millionaire.”
Snm's wife was bursting with laugh
ter, but, restraining herself, she coaxed
him into tho house nnd told him the
wholo story :
"You remember when I hud my
cough last winter, and the doctor reeom
mended cod liver oil, Sam, und you
brought home a wltolu gallon, because
you got it cheap, aud made mu promise
to take threo doses a day ? Well, I
didn't, und it stood in the uloset till I
cleaned the house, when I throw it into
tho bolo at tho foot ol' tho garden."
Sum saw tho joke and pouketed it in
the shape of a pile of greenbacks.
At last accounts 8am wus living in
clover, whilo the oil huntors wore indus
triously boring and may bo until this
time, for all we know.

The Gnmo ofYewkor.

This illbrod gnmo of kurds is about
27 years old.
t was fust discovered by tho deck
hands on a Lake Erie steamhout, and
handed down bv thorn to posterity in
awl its juvenile buty.
It is gonurully playod by -l persons,
and owes much ol Us nbsoebingnow tow
the fukt that you can talk, and drink,
ami chaw, nnd ohont, whilo the game is
advunoln.
I have seen it played on tho Hudson
River Railroad, in tfio smoking car, with
more immaculate skill than anywhere
else.
Ifyu play lboro, yn will often hold n
hand that will astonish yn, quite often 4
queens nnd a 10 spot, which will inflame
yu to bet 7 or 8 dollars that it iz a good
hand to play poker with ; but yu will
bo more astonished when yu see tho
other feller’s band, which invariably con
