Cgpjfantita ©isitor BY D. W. IK HOULLY. FKIDAY JULY 24, 1874 ®*A lad in New York lately lost an arm by being run OVer by the cars. When taken home the arm was brought also, and thrown into a pail, w hen the lad screamed with pain. It was then put in a box and buried, but tbe boy shortly said that something was crawling on the inside of the hand. On being dug up, a large worm was found in the palm of the hand. A large jar was then obtained, and it became neces sary to crowd the arm in, when the sufferer fairly went into a paroxysm of pain. The limb was placed in a jar partly filled with alcohol, and, ben replaced in the ground. The little follow complained that his arm and fingers were in a terribly cramped position, and that the little finger and the next one were growing to gether. The jar was then taken up, when the limb was found crowded and cramped os described. This case is the mcr*--remarkable ns the little nhio year old lad was ignorant of what disposition had been made of the limb. Civil Bights in Alabama.—A ne gro entered the express cilice at Ope lika, the other day, and took his scat in a chair. When remonstrated with, he became insulting, and the agent very properly kicked him out. Another negro insulted a white man on the street, whereon the latter knocked him down and pounded him well. When the negro got lobse, he remembered that his crop was in tho grass, and hurried off to work it. The Civil Bights Bill. —Let no ono indulge tho delusion that this monstrosity is dead. It merely lies asleep upon tho Speaker’s table, and is liable to be called up at any time after tho rc-aßsembling of Congress, mid passed by a voto of two thirds of the House.

A correspondent of the Atlanta Herald relates the two following in cidents of Gen. Toombs: When the Confederate Govern ment met at Montgomery there was no money. The new administration had to have quarters to do business in. None of the officers bad any money convenient. General Toombs, then acting as Secretary of State, had some cotton, and gave his indi vidual 'obligation for about $20,000 for rent and other expenses of the new nation. By some fatabty and inattention the various Confederate Secretaries of the Treasury failed to pay the debt, and when the war ended the paper of General Toombs, to bis astonishment, was still out for the liability. Few men would have re sponded to such a claim. He paid the amount in gold in full, refusing to even use currency, and thus he stands to-day the creditor of the desfunct government for $20,000, paid after the war was over. Au honor so punctilious is rare, espe cially in these degenerate times. But ono even more remarkable case of his ready and unique finan ciering occurred since Governor Smith has been in the chair of State, and in which the whole Slate -naa helped. come $300,000 of interest on the State debt fell due in the middle of the first year of Governor Smith’s administration, and every effort to raise the money was a failure. The banks wore tight up, and there was no money in the Treasury. Gover ner Smith laid the matter before Gen eral Toombs and invoked his help. General Toombs promptly responded by raising the money on his own personal exertions, and loaning it to the State at 7 per cent interest. He, on his own personal security, ob tained from several friends good bonds enough, with what ho had of his own, to pledge as collateral for tho amount, and raised it in New York. Kimball. —The Atlanta News wants Kimball to prove iu the courts that ho was not a party to deliberate fraud— First. In obtaining the endorse ment of the State to railroad bonds, when tho provision of the law author izing such endorsement was not com plied with. Second. In obtaining a doublo endorsement of the Cartcrsville and Van Wert Railroad bonds by chang ing tho namo of the road. Third. By taking tho bonds of tho Stato and pawning the same without a shadow of authority. Fourth. By taking the bonds of the city of Atlanta and makihg away with them, leaving the city to pay a mortgage on the capitol building which he ought to have paid. A Nkgho’b Views. —The St. Louis Democrat—which is a Radical paper, in spite of its name—says a negro re cently Bet forth his views as follows, in regard to tho relation of the two races at tho South: You no, de turky he roose on do fence, an’ do gooso he roose on de groun’. Yo pull de turky off de fenc an’ he will git up agiu. You crap he wings, but somehow or nudder ho gwine git bak on do fenc. Now you put de gooso on de fenc an’ lie’ll fall oft'; he don’t b’long rlar.

The Flea. —Tho following is bqing published by some of tho Georgia papers, aud cadi one publishes it as original—so far ns we have noticed. Ob ! the Ilea, tho flea, the elegant flea; attacking bis victim wherever ho be; first on the left shin, then on tho right; hero crawling leisurely, there taking a bite.
