MISCEI IiANY
.M ■' - . g
OXLYA MlXtift
Tregoze is a pleasant little Cor
nish village overlooking i*.e, “Wes
tern Sea.’ Everything there is
rough aud stony, and even the in
habitants are to all appearances
as rougn and s'ouy as their nu
tive rocks. But underneath those
slaty Melds lies the rich vein of
metal, aud in those rough Cornish
hearts is a vein of human feefing
and Christian charily, far, far pur
er than much that passes as such
in the fashionable world, where
tinkling bells daily summon rich
dowagers to church in their gor
geous chariots.
The children of Trcgoze were
tripping lightly to school after
their holidays, along the hard
slaty paths. It was, indeed, with
no “creeping like snail utfWilling
ly to school” kind of motion on
this occasion, all were full of ex
almost of joy for they
were to have that day a new mis
tress, one whom they all new, one
who had, in fact, been one of them
s« Ives.
Margaret Powhele had been
born in Trego ze, where she had
attended the school, first as a pu
pil, and then as a pupil teacher.
Thei.ce she had gone ic t-ie col
lege iu London, and a vacancy
having occurred, she bad been ap
pointed mistress down there in
her own native village. Her fatli
er had worked there, man and
boy, in the Tregoze mine for up
ward of forty years, aud he still
continued to follow this same oc
cupation.
The children, t lerefore, all
knew Margaret. Their memories
of her were pleasant., sad hence
they tripped joyously to school,
where they&dmirtd their new mis
tress, who, iu their eves, was cer
tainly as learned as the curate,
and almost as wise as the vicat,
besides being as’pretty as a prin
cess .
When they, therefore, returned
ho me* at midday, many were the
exclamations of “Isn’t she pretty?”
“Isn't she nice?” and so on,
among the youngs ers ; which ex
clamations generally called forth
from the old people the remark,
“I hope thee wool get vorrard i’
thy laming, ’cause times be veiy
hard for us poor volks.”
Many others beside the school
children were in love with Marga
ret, for she had budded into wo
manhood sinee she hud left Tre
goze and now her beauty had t&k
en the young men by surprise.
For some time Margaret found
it far from agreeable to have so
many admirers, but by dint of
good management, by the falling
off of those who felt that they had
no chance, her citcle of adorers
narrowed down to two—Joseph
Tregear and Tom Polglaze.
It’was not loug, however, be
fore Margaret htrself madj it
known which of them she prefer
red, in fact, so far as that goes,
neither for a loug time could
boast of the smallest favor.
Tregear, however, bad thegood
sense to see that neither he nor
Polglaze was nearly so well edu
caied us Margate!, aud he well un
jet-stood that it was a had omen
when the husband had to look up
to the wife iu the matter of learn
ing. He accordingly bought
books aud became an earnest mid
night student
Tom Polglaze, however, loved
the fair teacher not a whit
than his r.val, but he was formed
|in a rougher mold He scarcely
noticed the change in Trageaf;
but if he did net, Margaret Vow
hele did, and ahe wan highly grat
ified by it.
“Joseph,” aaid ahe to hiu* one
evening, wbeu he came to aak her
to take a walk, “you aeem lmeb
changed lately ; you are aa little
like a native of Tregoze aa n»y
aelf.
“In what way, Margaret ?”
“You have loat that twang, and
you aeem to know aomethiug
about the great world. Do you
atudy ?”
i “Yea; I ait up every night to
read or to work mathematica.
“Why f What do you want to
be? A'clerkf'
“Margaret, 1 atudy to be more
Lawrenceville. Georgia, Tuesday July 15, 1884
like you; I love you. Will you
" 7 here l Joseph Tregear! you
study to be like me ? I am sure I
never set you the example of talk
ing such rubbish! Ah, ah! good
bye.”
So saying, off she t ripped into
the house, to bis intense discomfit
ur«.
1 lial evening her parents no
tice 1 a chat ge in her, but could
not discover the cause. She
did no*, talk or take any too , but
soon retired to her own little
room, complaining of headache.
Do I hne him?” she muttered,
when aloue “Poor fellow, he
studied hard for mv sake. Ah,
Joseph, why did l leave you so ab
rubtly ? What a giddy worthless
thing f ais !”
That night »he could not sleep
unlil she had decider upon a fu
ture course of action.
The next day being Saturday,
Margate! spent at home iu huusi
huld cares, which sh*> shared with
her inoiherqbut she scarcely spoke
a word all day.
Ou Sunday she appeared in
church dressed with inoretliauher
usual care ; an 1 she may be forgiv
en if sue was not quite so atten
tive to the sermon as she should
have, for there it a distance, sat
Joseph Tregear, locking at her
with his great blue eyes, making
her blush, and inspiring her with
the desire of s.liking through the
floor.
On leaving the por'd), after dis
missing her flock, Margaret found
Joseph Tregear tm>l Tolu Pol
glaze pier ending to rea-1 the in
scriptions on the tombs.
At the sound of her step Tom
raked hi.: head and advanced with
a friendly trod, while Joseph re
mained still, but fixed those great
blue eyes off her.
4 Good morning, Tom, " she said
indifferently. “How are you ?’
Polglaze was replying as they
neared Tregear. when Margaret
stopped.
Tregear still held back, item
bliug in his hoa»t and apprehen
sive’oMtis lfival.
Margaret, however, was so ap
parently calm tuatne was begin
ning to think her heart as hard as
her native rocks, when, nodding
an adieu to 1 olglaze, she very nat
urally aud very quietly put her
hand ou Tregear's arm, an 1 said :
“I am very sorry I kept you
waiting: I cau now only spare you
half an hour for a walk ”
It was the first time she had
ever shown any p'eference, and
Polglaze now knew that he, toe,
was “out of the race."
His face changed to an ashen
hue, and he tottered off with de
jected looks, hut with clenched
fists.
Tregear squeezed the small
hand that had been so unexpected
ly put i)n his arm, aud led Marga
ret away for the promised walk,
which,it need scarcely be said,
was unconsciously lengthened in
to au hour.
* When Margaret ouc-e more at
rived uuder her parent's roof it, was
not alone that she came. Hence
forth another had also a right to
join her there.
Tregear knew the price that
must he paid for Margaret's love.
He knew that Polglaze would uot
give her up without a contest.
Nor was it long before the bat
tle was commenced, foi that very
evening, uv Tregear was leaviug
-the house of the Powlieles, he was
attacked by bis rival. With him
it was but a word and a blow,
“Joe Tregear, you’ve crossed
my steps, and now i’ll be reverg.
ed by you !”
So saying, Polglaze struck a
blow which would have felled an
ordinary man.
But Tregear was quite a match
for him, and the two fought long
and desperately, until separated
by a rural policeman, who threat
ened them with legal proceed
ings.
Of course Margaret was one of
gtbe tirst to hear of the bat lie.—
Distressed beyond measure, she
went to her lover’s parents, whore
she found him in a most untepre
senlable condition.
A few words soon explained the
posiiion of affair*, when Margaret
burst into tears, aud blamed her
self for showing her piefereuce so
stupidly. i
DEVOTED TO NEWS, IJTERATDHE AND LOCAL AFFAIRS
‘•Margaret,” replied her lover
“do not take it to heart. I d rath
er be figbtiug him again than sec
your tears. Leave me alone a
minute. Let me overcome this."
“Yes, dear heart !” said Mrs.
Tregear, “Don't you take uti # in
this way These tinmen are regu
Lr vighters; but thi, Tom Pol
glaze is the morlarionseat vighter
that ever I zee "
“Yes, Margaret, that's true, I
knew that the day / gamed your
!o»e I should tiud au enemy;
But cheer up, cheer up ! I fancy
he will not attack uie agaiu in a
hurry, for I kuow that he does
uot at this moment look a bit
Itaudsomer than l do.”
Aud so saying, he laughted the
matter lightly away, uulii Marga
ret, too, begnu to ;utile through
her tears.
On the following day, when the
two rivals went to the mine, tlieir
appearance caused many jeering,
contemptous remarks, for the tiu
men were in hopes of goading
them ou to renew the battle.
Polglaze had, ho .never, fouud au
adversary worthy of his strong
arm, and was not so ready to
strike the first blow as he had
been the night before. He con
tented himself, therefore, with
doubling his fists and saying that
the time of vengence would come.
Months passed away ; Tregear
recovered irorn his .inwon ted ex
citement, and matters took their
usual course. The mines were
vverked, old seams were used up,
aud new veins opened out : but,
though the battle bed not been
renewed, Joseph Ttegtar and Tom
Polglaze hud not yet shaken
hands.
Tnis caused Margaret no small
anxiety, for down there in the
bowels of the eartli an unseen
blow with ths pick might destroy
the happiuess of her life.
She often begged Tregear to
etve the mints, but he said he
had good prospects of being ap
pointed engineer's assistant, and
as for Tom Polglaze’s threat, why.
he hud not the slightest anxiety on
accouut of that.
Atlength a new shaft was to be
opened, aud the two young men
being the steadiest hands in the
mine, were selected for the opera
tion. There they toiled together
for a few weeks without exchang
ing a word, aud they were alone,
far from any other workmen.
Margaret was wretched, but to
all her supplications Tregear still
said that he had no fear. In her
distress she spoke to Polglaze and
asked him to shake hands with
Tregear. he refused, but he press
ed his rough hands to his temples
and said :
“I loved you then. I love you
now, as much or more than Joe
Tregear. ’
A day or 100 after that both
meu were again at work togeilur
and silent as death in tleir i-olita
ry shaft They were suddenly
startled ,i y a falliug stone. A few
lumps of earth then came turn
bling down, aud the whole shaft
seemed to tremble.
The works were giving away.—
The two meu looked at one auoih- ■
er for a moment, with hlauched
faces. It was the first time they
had looked into one another's,
eye* siuce that fa'al day, except!
to dart glances of scorn and hale.
They ran to tlm kebbel ano gave 1
Ihe signal to he drawn up. As |
ihoy shouted the rope lightened
and strained, hut thekebble would
not move.
As they st >od there the awful
thought came t(#tbth in aniustant
that oiie of them must die—must
die to save the other—his euemy.
They ugaiu looked atone another,
and there was eternity in the
glance.
Then one of them let go the
rope and dropped out of the keb
ble, which immediately began lo
rise. The willing martyr was
Tom Po,glaze.
“Tell Margaret” he shouted, as
the kebble rose over his head—
‘•tell Margaret I did it to save her
pain—to save you, whom ahe loves
1 forgive you, but be sure and oft
good to—”
The shaft gave way and nothing
presented itself to Tregear * gaze
but a mass o! slate and rubbish.
Todi Pc%la» was in eternity—
as noble a soul as ever died for
any cause that is dear to man, as
devoted as aay martyr, as gener
ous sealed as any patriot, though
onfy * poor miner.
It was long before Joseph Tre
gear and Margaret Powhele reeov
ered from that shock. They
mourned the brave dead as a
brorhfL, ana a neat little stone,
overlooking the shurchyard, loug
afterward remindeU the tiumeu of
Tregoze of .ha noble deed of sJf
sat tifice of a hero wko was one of
ihern^alves.
Rout* Cornier: Mouth Rome
eujoytll quite a sensation yester
day afternoon, and an innocent
little child was at the bottom of it
—the well and the sensation.—
While ploy tog in i s mother’s yard
Yesterday afternooo, a little 2 year
old child of Mrs. Goodaon who
residww iu South Rome, climbed
upou the Well curbing unobserved
lost its balance and fe/1 over into
the well. The fond mother, near
by, heard the frightened cry of
despair which burst from the lit
tle ones throat at it was dashed
down the dark, frightful and
abysmal depths She heard the
“splasht'' as the little form struck
the water forty feet below. The
mover’s cries of anguish brought
Mr. John Huire and several other
neighbors to the spot. * Mr. Haire
was .promptly lowered into tne
vveH, wlwre he |fouttd the water
twelve feet deep, and floating
peacefully on its surface was the
baby, as sound aud full of life as
it had been one hour before.—
There the little innocent lay ou
the bosom of the waiter, saved
from a horrible death through
some strange and unaccountable
agency. Mr. Hairs wus being
haultd <tp with tbe child in his
arms, when about ten feet from
the bot'om the rope broke aud the
two were dashed agaiu to the bot
tom, but suetaiued do injuries.—
The water failed to support Mr
/Zaire as it did the baby, so both
of them weut under, tie manag
ed to hold on to the side of tbe
well until another bucket was
lowered, and the two were rescued
from their unpleasant and danger
u us situation. The most wonder
ful part of the whole thing is that
the child did not sustain a single
injury from the dreadful fall.
In the Boar Pita
Iu Paris recently t workman
fell over the parapet of one ol the
bear pits at the Jardin de Plan
ters and very nearly became a
prey to two huge bears awaiting
their afternoon repast. The man
lay for a few minutes insensible
with a bad wound on hia head,
from which there was a copious
flow of blood. The spectators
for a short time kept the bears em
ployed by throwing them endless
pieces of bread, but they made so
much noise in carrying out their
wellmeant stratagem that the ani
mills were frightened from this
frugal entertainment, and the
mule, wandering about iu searah
of r«fuge, approached the more
palatable food and licked up the
blqoj flowing from the prostrate
■sufferer's wound Amid intense
excitement the keepers arrived
and the fmrti recovered his senses. 1
Seeing his danger however, he lay
still, as if dead, while ibe keepers
prepared a rope ami distracted the
' bear from iis prey Ly striking it
I with long poles. At length the
prisoner clutched the rope aud
-vug speedily hauled aloft, to the
disappointment of the hear, who
| displayed much irritation at the
withdrawal of so dainty aud am*
pin > meal. The rescued individu
al, who was badly hurt by his fall
was conveyed to the hospital.
A youug bride claimed that her
husband wus a model man. And
he was. His occupation wis niak
ing dummies for clothing stores.
A mule kickt-d over a can of dy

thing left but tie mule.

To the f*eo|>ie of Ueorgla
At a conference held today iu
the rooms of the State Depart
meut of Agriculture, betweeu U .
S. Commissioner De Witt C. Ha
con. the Commissioners from the
various Cong ressiouai Districts,
aud a large number of gentlemen
interested in the State s display at
New Orleans, it was unanimously
resolved that it was the duty of
the Commissioners to issue thtfol
lowiug address to the people of the
State of Georgia:
This great world's fair has been
projected upou a scale of compre
hensiveness never before attempt
ed, uot even by the spleudid PL ila
delphia Ceuteunial. The Exposi
tion company has at its disposal
millions of dollars, and the city of
New OrleaitH, and the State of
Louisiana are stiniug themselves
to the very core that this great
Southern underUkiitg shall show
to the world that the Southern
States intend to s op permanently
to the front.
The amount of available floor
space will probably exceed two
and a hulf million square feet.
The main building will covet, un
der one roof, forty acres of ground
Besides this, there will be less ex
tensive buildings, agricultural, Lor
tioultural and art halls, but each
gigantic in its own proportions.
Then there will be the building
for the displays of the diij'orent
States, modeled, after the.plan of
the main building, aud iu the cep
ter ot which wil) be placed the
grand Federul govcrmuoul dis
play, for which has ap
propriated $688,000, in nddiivm
to Hm former appropriation of sl,
000,000. The scheme is immense,
the money is iu Utp bauds , yf
Exposition Company. The mu>
cess us the thing is assured, and
we must bestir ourselves.
The question nqw is, shall thu
natural resources of Georgia be
shown to the' wdtlß by” tte side
of those of her sister States ot
shall we allow'this great oppbi -
tuoity to pass? Hb V dtf we ex
pect to people our Imfnddse sur
plus of farming lands, water pow
ers surpassed no where, and our
important, undevelopment. un
known mineral features which dot
the Staia from Agusta and Colum
bus to ihe Tennessee and Nor h
Carolina lines? The time has
come when to hold our owl we
must move in euoh matters as out
sister S ates are moving North
Carolina has alreudy received a
million dollars in miucrul laud in
vestments, the result of $17,000
put into a mineral display at Bos
ton last fall. By similar display
at Philadelphia, Louisville and
Boston, Alabama is building her
Birmingham, her Auuistou, her
Sheffield, her Leeds.
WHAT OTHER STAVES ARE DOING
Spurred ou by wbat these States
imve already gained, let us see
wbut our neighboring Slates are
going to do at New Orleans. The
Legislatures of South Carolina
aud Alabama have each appropria
ted SI<UHMi, aud the Commission
ers are suceeehful y pushing a
plan to raise slo,fioo mote. North
Carolina starts in wi ill her hand
some cabinets already collected at
Raleigh, aud she has an mldition
of $60,000 at the disposal of her
Commissioner, to be used in mak
ing further collections illustrative
of her natural advantages. Teas
essee has $20,000 with which to
illustrate herself; Mississippi, a
Legisla ive appropriation of $12,-
600, with an organised board nos
raising by subscription SIO,OOO
more. Louisiana has a Legisla
tive appropriation of $100,000;
Virginia, $50,000: Texas, one of
20,000. Not satisfied with this
appropriation, the ladies of Texas
are pushing various plans to aug
ment the amount. The cuiumiss
oner reports several ihousaud al
ready collected by subscription
Florida has paid up already $27,-
000, aud the Dias Urn Laud Com
pany h ive headed a subscription
with SI,OOO cash and $2,000 hi
collections representing South
Flotida. We see hero a determin
ed effort ou the part of every
Southern Stale lo show herself t«
the world at New Orleans. Cleor
gia has not the appropriation of a
dollar, and the question now is,
what are we going to do about
it?
To accomplish the deeded end,
money must be raised in some
wty Au enterprise of this magui
tudo cannot be successfully car
rted through to the finmn without
subtautial financial aid from some
quarter, and the people ot the
State must determilm> how this is
to be accomplished. It iH neces
sary to have stands, mineral cabi
nets and fixtures of like characters
upon which exhibit the resources
of our State We musLsho.w these
products to the world iu the most
attractive, pleasing aud aitistia
manner possible,so as to arresithe
attention of every one. The ser
vices compelent assistants must
be secured to f ake charge of these
exhibits, and to explain to visitors
the values, uses end purposes of
each at tide iu the display. All
of this important work cannot be
accomplished without a sufficiency
of funds to meet the necessary
cost.
THE ltflHT METHOD.
The commissioners, after a
thorough discussion as lo the best
manner of getting together
Georgia’s varied resources, have
determined the most satisfactory
plan of operation is to put each
Congressional disiHct in the
State upon its own resources.
Funds raised in all the various
ways that might be su -gevtud
should be used by the District
Comm ssioners in their various
(Ustritps to secure a geod display
flout each. It is uot advisable or
fair to use money, subscribed in
one to get up lire display in am Ah
or. It is believed that every din
Irict ttt tho Stute will approve of
this plan, bet each make uso of
its own funds, aud the displays
gathered in this way will bo
shUYvn at the (•JGlte Fair ill Macon,
outsit liis'riet making an exhibition
septaakely.
-Artteles of any charaeLr secur
ed tor exhibition will bo for
Warded to Macon free of “chiego
if delivered along the line of tlio 1
untuesi railroad. At die close of
the Stale Fair, the displays rupro.i
enting the ten disLjctj* iu Gour
gia will bo packed up aud shipped
: to New Oilcan's, ahd there shown
limb* one hunt as the exhibit
from the State of Georgia.
It will be necessary, in the cube
ofgeologioul ami mmerulogiral cabi
nets, to place the selection and ar
raugetneni in the hands of an .ex
pert at the Atlanta headquarters.
Spoeicmeus from the vunouseoun
lies should be got out in qualities
not less ihaj 20-40 pounds, aud
made ready shipment here alter
snmll samples have been approved
at this office They wi/! be analyz
ed classed and arangod here prior
to packing and shipment to Mu
eon, and it is and expected
that correspondence relative to
these features will be prompt and
effective.
let all come fohwakd.
To secure a full, handsome and
creditable display, the result can
only be reached through the per
sonal energy of every Georgian.
The people must lay aside formali
ties and come wiib a rush to the
assistance of the Commissioners.
It must be remembered that we
are without funds. We have tip
to the present day given a great
deal of our time to the work, and
will continue to do s?o until theob
ject which is soughl to l>e accoru
pltshed beyond the possibility of
a doubt. Our people are proud
of ottr State, and they I ave every
reason to be so. Will this pride
take a buck seat at th is important
time, and allow the grand oppor
tunily that is offered us through
ihe'Tuediuni of tho World's Indus
trial and Cotton Centennial Expo
sition io be lost ? We ihink .uot.
We know too welt how the inter
est of of every Georgian is roused
for the prosperity of the State,
aud, we are satisfied, all that is
necessary is to call the attention
of the people to the importance
and scope of the work before us."
When this is done we feel that
more than half has been accom
plished. The undertaking now
commanding our attention is one
in which every resident and well
wisher of the State should feel a
deep interest. Let us all as cue
man combine our energies and
shqw to the world that Georgia is
in realty, as well as name, the Em
pire State of the Sunny South.—
It cm >e done if every man will
do his part. Concerted action
will win at all times, We have
ihe will, the enterprise and the
| pluck to place Georgia in tLe
} front rank <>f the Stales of the
Union. With our energy, our va
ried resources and the opportuni
ty that is afforded us, there is uoth
