Toccoa News : One day this week
a man went to the depot for the pur
pose of shipping some hogs. He made
known his business to Mr. Newton,
the courteous and efficient agent. It
is a rule with depot agents not to re
ceive any freight unless it is marked,
and Mr. Newton so- informed him.
He did not say whether they should
be marked with a smooth crop in the
right or swallow fork in the left ear.
The fellow went out and cut off hoth
cars, and the hogs were shipped.
EMIGrANTS are pouring into Cali
fornia at the rate of 1.200 to 1,800 a
week, says the San Francisco Chron
icle. Most of them settle in the
southern part of the State and en
gage in fruit and wine growing.
Many of the emigrants are men of
means, who go to the country in
search of health, and are led to devote
themselves to congenial husiness. The
poorer classes go to the northern
cour ties and engage in agricultural
pursuits, while about 30 per cent. of
the whole number push up north to
Oregon and Washington "Terrvitory.
ThERE seems no limit to the under
ground wealth of Pennsylvania. A
few days ago a new hole was bored in

down to business at omee. The first
day it poured outoil at the rate of
sixty barrels an hour and is still yield
ing 4,000 barrels a day. And this in
a small field of 100 acres, the wells in
which had already poured out 500,000
barrels, and in a district which has
been running streams of oil from a
thousand wells for over 2 years,
A most remarkable divorce suit was
decided at Indianapolis last Monday.
During the flood of June, 1883, a
bridge over Pogue’s Run, near that
city, was washed away and a number
of persons was drowned. Among the
bodies recovered was one which was
deelared by wife and Coroner to be
that of John Ackermann. A few
months ago a man claiming to be
Ackerman turned up and was given
general recognition. Mrs Ackerman,
however, refused to receive him or
conntenance himin any manner what
ever. As the man was pertinacious,
to get rid of him she brought a suit
for divorce. The Ackermann recog
nized by the wife had given her good
cause for such a proceeding, and the
court granted her a decree.
i WHAT IS LIBERTY 2
| As the liberty of criminals meang
[license, so the freedom of the immor
}al means corruption. Declaimers
|are fond of affirming that man natur
ally lovesliberty, when the truth is,
'he only naturally hates restraint.
f Liberty is obedient to law ; and is it
not absurd to assert that men are
naturally obedient to law, when re
ligion, education, ecivil authority,
criminal codes, and other means-have.
{to be continually employed to enforce
,rcspcct for authority ¥ Do savages,

!inflicting wrongs upon their fellow
Iboin;_;s ¢ All virtue is rare, but love
of liberty is a rare virtue, the flower
and fruit of a long devotion to recti
tude, to unselfish purposes and as
large as the love of Christ. Let us
not imagine, then, that a free Gov

NORTH GEORGIA.
Norrit GEORGIA may very appro
priately be called the “Switzerland
of America.” Its happy location be
tween the extrémes of heat and cold,
where every fruit and vegetable that
grows on cither side will flourish ;
its sunny skies; its bright crystal
waters glitter in the sunshine as they
swiftly glide over their rocky courses;
the beautiful scenery of its moun
tains, hilis and valleys : its delightful
climate, with its balmy, healthful air
to fan you, all to combine to make
North Georgia truly a delightful
land. Besides this, Georgia has the
natural elements of becoming the
most prosperous and wealthy State in
the Union. It contains iron, coal
and marble in enormous quantities.
Other minerals and metals are also
found in considerable abundance.
Its capacity for growing vegetables
is unsurpassed by almost any other
seetion of the country. Its adapta
tion to general agriculture and stock
raising is most excellent. Come to
North Georgia.
HARD TIMES.
ProprLE often ery out “hard times”
when there is little reason. If war
was calling men from the plough and
the workshop ; if famine or pesti
lence was widespread, or even if gen
eral insolvency was threatening the
laud, there might be some reason for
the frequent repetition of the term
“hard times.” Butitis a time of
peace. With but few exeeptions gen
eral good health, prevails, while the
store houses and barns over the en
tire land are bursting from their full
ness. It is true there are mutterings
about a shrinkage of business, but
there need be no real disaster to cov
er the nation with a pall. The Prov
idence Journal remarks: “What we
call hard times are really very good
for most men tending to check the
vices, correct the mistakes, and quick
en the virtues of our broad, deep, na
tional life.” What the people seem
to need is courage.

JOE BROWN.
SeNator Brown was asked the oth

drunk. He repiied, “never but once.
When I was a boy I was sent to mill
by my father on a very cold day.
When I reached the mill I found the
wheel frozen into the creek, which
was a solid mass of ice. We were
obliged to have some meal ground, go
we got axes and cut the ice out so as
to free the wheel. That chilled us
very much and the miller supdied
us with whisky. When I got home I
was pretty badly mixed. My mother
was disposed to sympathize with me,
but my father was very emphatic.
He addressed me a very forcible ar
gument which I never forgot.”
Milliken came home looking very
disconsolate. “It’s all up,” he said
to his wife, “I wasn’t elected. Every
thing went all right until yesterday,
and then they raked up a charge
against me for horse stealing.” *““But,
my dear, why didn’t you make them
back up the charge?”” “Back it up?
That’s just where the troubble was.
Some of our ward committee, like
blamed fools, kept erying tor ‘proot’
and ‘documents,” and they got them.”

MADE SHIPLESS BY FIRE.
’ Capt. Jerry G. Park, of the Amer
| ican ship Alert, which was burned at
’sm on the morning of Nov. 14 last,
arrived at New York port on the 27th
ult., on the steamer Maranheuse from
Pernambuco. The captain looked
strong and healthy, but admitted that
a few months on shore after his terri
ble experinece would do him good.
Capt. Park was accompanied by his
wife, a handsome, dark-eyed lady,
and their little boy of eight years,
Nine of the nineteen men who com
posed the crew of the Alert were al
so passengers on the Maranheuse,
“If you have ever been at sea and
have suddenly discovered that your
ship is on fire when you are a thousand
miles from land and nota sail insight,
you can, perhaps, realize our feelings
when we made the discovery,” said
the captain. “The Alert left this
port on Oct. 25 last, bound for Shang
hai. She carried uineteen men all
told, and my wife and boy. Our car
go was 40,000 cases of crude oil. We
had good weather, and no accidents
occurred until early on Nov. 14 we
lost the trades and in place of them
caught rain squalls and gales. The
horizon all around us suddenly be
came black about 10 o’clock on that
morning and in a second the rain
poured down in torrents.”
“Where were you then ?”
“About one thousand miles off the
South American coast. Our latitude
was 8.10; longitude, 29.10. Sudden
ly a terrific roll of thunder was heard,
followed almost instantly by the sharp
crack of lightning, and we saw our
fore-royal split into small pieces.
From there the lightning ran around
the rigging tearing the sails and
splintering the masts, then with a
a crash came down on deck knocking
every man down, but doing no dam
age to the deck. I cannot deseribe
my feelings. I felt tired all over at
first, but iu a few moments seemed
better for the shock. Nonc of the
men were injured and recovered very
quickly, after which we made an ex
amination of the vessel and found her
apparently all right except the rig
ging. All this transpired in less time
than I have taken to tell it. A few
minutes later, at exactly 10:30 o’clock,
one, of the crew saw smoke issuing
from the forehatch, which was cover
ed with a tarpaulin to keep out the
rain. I immediately ordered the
hatch removed, and as it was taken
oft a cloud of smoke almost suffocated
us. Immediately a stream of water
was directed into the hold, but it
seemed only to inerease the smoke.
We could not get into the hatch, and
despairing of quenching the fire with
water I ordered the hatch again clos
ed. Hardly was the cover on when
a terrific explosion threw usall oft
our feet. The crew were p:mie-stri(-k-‘
en for an instant, but soon recovered
themselves and we again directed a
stream of water into the hold, from
which the red flames were pouring
forth, every moment growing larger.
Huge volumes of black smoke accom
panied the flames. Then we discov
ered that the entire ship was filled
with smoke, and tongues of flame he
gan to eat their way on all sides. I
realized at once that the vessel could
not be saved and gave orders to make
ready to abandon her. Three boats
were equipped with a few clothes,
private possessions and provisions and
at 11:30 o’clock we left her. She was
then one mass of flames.
“Qur three boats were made fast
to cach other astern, and we kept
near the burning ship in hopes that
some passing vessel would be attrac
ted by the flames. The sea was calm
and the weather fine, so that we did
not suffer much in this respect. Our
condition was appalliig as hour after
hour we drifted about and no sail ap
peared. My wife behaved nobly and
we did all we could for her comfort.
Throughont that night tie vessel
burned fiercely, lighting up the wa
ters for miles around. T'ie sight vas
brilliant and one we shall never fos

HER HUSBAND COMES TO LIFE.
“Good-by, darling,” said Edward
Fitzgerald, kissing his sweetheart,
Annie Cahill, good-by on Ireland’s
shores ten years ago, I am going off
to America, and the firsc money I
earn will be sent to you for your pas
sage, and then we will be married.”
Six months later Annie landed in
this city, so papers on file in the Su
preme Court allege, and the two were
immediately married. They went to
Jersey City to live, and the husband
obtained employment in the oil works
in the vicinity. By hls steady habits
and perseverance he became cashier, -
and his salary was made $3,000 a year.
Too much money became his ruin.
He took to drink, drove fast horses
and attended races. His wife plead- -
ed with him, but it was of no avail.
Soon rumors reached her ears that
he was paying addresses to a young
woman and representing himselt as a
single man. Before she could inves
tigate the story a fire broke out in
the oil works where her husband was
employed and he was reported to
have perished in the flames. Hig
charred remains were dug out of the
ruins. He was buried from the house
and the widow caused a costly marble
slab to be placed over his grave.
Eight years passed by. The widow
supported herself and two children
by giving music lessons. Two monthg
ago she took up her residence in this
city and five weeks ago a richly dress
ed lady engaged Mrs. Fitzgerald to
teach her daughter music. The house
was in Forty-fifth street, near First
avenue. On entering the apartments
Mrs. Titzgerald saw a photograph
hanging upon the parlor wall in a
gilt frame. She became deeply agi
tated. It was the very picture of her
dead husband. On making inquiries
the lady of the house said that she
had been married eight years ago and
that her husband told her he came
from Jersey City. Mrs. Fitzgerald
became convinced that it was the
portrait of her late husband; but to
make certain she waited for him one
night and found that her suspicions
were correct. He pretended not to
recognize her, however, and boldly
said that she was mistaken, that he
‘had never wet her betore. On furth
er investigating the matter, Mrs. Fitz
gerald learned that her husband, af
ter the fire, had gone West, procur
ed a divorce, represented himself as
a widower and married wite No. 2.
Wife No. 1 is now very anxious to
be divorted from her husband. She
is engaged to be married to a physi
cian of high standing. The marriage
was appointed to take place at Christ
mas. Wife No. 1 secured the servi
ces of Thomas J. Sullivan, who has
an office in Temple Court. Yester
day the latter appeared in the Su
preme Court and made a motion to
have the case tried at an early date.
It was placed on the calendar for the
next term.—New York World.
A CROW THAT COULD TALK.
J. R. R's Washington Letter.
General Hampton tells me that
while on his Mississippi plantation,
he saw a lame crow that could laugh
and talk. The bird would say “Hel
lo!” “How are you?” and several oth
er things of like import. It was the
most wonderful raven since the days
of Barnaby Rudge and Edgar Poe.
One morning a vast number of crows
assembled in a tree on the plantation
and prepared for a pow-wow. The
tame bird flew among them and, rear
ing up, saluted the congregation with
a brisk “Hello! flow are you?” His
astonished brethren scattered in
alarm as if they had been fired vpon
from a mountain howitzer. This
marvellous fowl of the air was to have
been sent to the New Orleans Exposi
tion, but its sudden disapperance pre
vented. Gen. Hampton surmises
that some negro shot him by mistake.
The owners could easily have sold him
for $l,OOO in New York.

HOW CHARACTER IS FORMED.
“Have you noticed an icicle as it is
formed? You noticed how it froze
one drop at a time, until it was a foot
long or more. Ifthe water was clean,
the icicie sparkled brightly in the
sun, but if the water was slightly
muddy the icicle looked foul, and its
beauty was spoiled. Just so our
characters are forming. One little
thought of feeling at a time adds its
influence. It each thought be pure
and right the soul will be lovely, and
will sparkle with happiness, but if
impure and wrong there will be a fi
nal deformity and wretchedness.”
