cently come from the North to enjoy
our winter climate. It was of the
diving species, which inhabit the bays
till the spring, when they return
North. When the oyster feeds it
opens its shell wide till the full oys
ter is plainly visible. A sightofsuch
a morsel was too mueh for the duck.
Ile made a head long plunge, ingert
ing his bill between the oyster’s open
shell. Like o flash, and with the
power of a vise, the shell celosed on
the duck’s beak. Then came the
struggle for life. The oyster, which
was quite & large one, was dragged
from its bed, with three smaller ones
clinging to it, the cluster being heavy
‘enough to keep the duck’s head un
der water. In this way the duck
drowned. Its buoyaney was suflicient
to iloat with the oyster, and thus
drifted near the dock, where it was
captured. When taken out of the
water the animal heat had not left
the duck. The oyster still clung to
the duck’s beak.—Zrom the Corpus

! AMAZING GRACE, -
"l‘ll(‘ Arkansas Squatter Meets a Man He
] Had Been LooYing For,
} The country advances; the light of
new ideas dawns machinery lessens
the toil of man, but the Arkansas
squatter sces no turn of the wheel,
hears not the hum of growing indus
try, says the Louisville Courier-Jour
nal. Cities and large towns have
sprung into existence, but rather
than become identified with their
civilization he follows the track of the
retreating bear, and again builds his
rude cabin in a domain free from hur
ry and shove, where, at evening,
when he sits under the great tree
that shades his door, he can hear the
howl of the wolf and listen to the
scream of the inspiving panther. He
does not often change the seene of
his primeval habitation, for civiliza
tion is not a race horse, nor does en
lightenment sneak up and surprise a
community.
A few months ago Col. W. P. Grace,
one of the most prominent lawyers of
‘the State, had occasion to make a
‘horsehack journey into a wild district
%lying between two great mountains
of the Ozark range. One day, while
the heat was intense, he came upon a
small log house surrounded by a fence
of poles. An old fellow with low,
yellow whiskers, like the dead silk on
an car of corn, sat on the fenece, en
gaged, it seems, in the work of kill
ing buftalo gnats.
“How are you?” said the colonel,
reigning up his horse.
“Little pearter than I wuz, butl
ain’t so powerful peart yit,” slapping
at a gnat.
“Will you be so kind as to bring
me a dipper of water 77
“Dipper?” he repeated contempt
uously. “I ain’t seed a dipper sense
I went down ter take a look at the
Legislatur. Ef yer drink here stran
ger, yer'll hafter drink outen a gourd.
Want it?”
“Yes. 1 am thirsty enough to
drink out of a straw hat.”
The old fellow went into the cabin,
and soon returned with a gourd drip
ping with water. The colonel took
the vegetable vessel, turned it up,
but only for a moment. Spitting out
the water, he returned the gourd and
said :
~ “Put a thermometer in that water,
and it would run up to 150.”
- “Don’t know about that, cap'n;
but put a wiggletail in it, and he'd
caper round mightily.”
“When did you draw it ?”
“Wasn’t drawed ; it was fotch.”
“When did you bring it from the
spring 7’
~ “Day afore yistiddy.”
“Why haven’t you brought some
since’?”’
¢’Cause this ain’t give out yit, an,
another reason is, wife she’s down
with the chills.”
“Can’t you leave her long enough
to get water 7
“Tain’t that. She ain’t able togo
arter it. She tends ter the water.”
“How far is the spring 7”
*’Bout three miles.”
“Which direction 7
“lust one an’ then tuther. Path’s
powerful crooked.”
“Why don’t you dig a well ?”
“Weather’s too hot.”
“Why don’t you dig one when it’s
cold?”
*(ause the ground’s friz.”
“How far is it to the next house ?”
“Thar ain’t none.”
“What's your name, my friend?”
“Paterson. What's your name
“My name is Grace.” :
“What!” exclaimed the squatter,
dropping the gourd. “Air yer the
feller they sings about at church?
Yer ain’t old amazin Grace, air yer?
Well, dog my cats ! Gitdown. I've
been waitin® ter meet yer ever since
I heard em sing about yer so much.

AMERICAN POLITICAL ASSASSINA-
I TION.
- The deliberate attempt on the part
of the American “Nationalists” or
'(Lyn:unitcrs to murder Phelan, an al
; leged recreant member of the society,
has provoked widespread discussion,
and resulied in the awakening of the
general public to the fact that the
organization is something more than
a mere association of braggar.s. Phe
lan, it seems. recentlv submitied to
an interview and was represented by
the reporter to have divulged secrets ‘
of the dynamiters. This interview
was never denied, but when assaulted !
he was visiting New York for the
parpose of clearing himself of {he
charges brought against him. By ap
pointment he had gone to O’Donovan
Rossa’s headquarters, and it was
while waiting there to see Rossa ihat
he was set upon and danzerously
stabbed. It now transpires that the
assault was deliberately planned and
carried out to punish Phelan and set
an example to weak members. Only
Phelan’s superior physical strength
and courage saved his life.
It has long been charged, and not
without reason, that America shel
tered an organized band of assassins,
who made New York their headguar
ters, and, by means of selected agents,
have kept up a system of outrages
abroad that has terrified the munici
pal authorities ot London, Paris, and
other European cities. Nothing could
be more natural than that the an
archists, communists, dynamiters and
assassins who have real or fancied
wrongs to avenge and political pur
poses to achieve, should select New
York as a rendezvous. There they
are safe, and the ocean travel is
cheap and convenieut. While it is
trie that much has been charged up
to this association for which it is not
responsible, there remains no doubt
but what it has plauned and executed
many mischevious acts against pub
lie life and property abroad. There
would be no such organization with
out a purpose, and the purpose that
leads to open murder in behalf of se
crecy must necessarily be a desperate
one. Men do not murder members
of their own organization in this
country for mere pastime. The man
who stabbed Phelan was a stranger
to him. No one doubts but that he
‘was the appointed agent of a desper
ate band. It is time thatthe law take
cognizance of its existence.— Macon
Telegraph.
AFTER THIRTEEN YEARS,
Mr. Earnest Clark, head salesman
at P. & G. T. Dodd’s, told a Jowrnal
man this morning the following par
alyzing story :
On the first day of January a gen
tleman, well advanced in years, came
into the store and met Mr. Phil Dodd
with:
“Mr. Dodd, I owo your firm seven
ty-two dollars!”
“All right,” said Mr. Dodd, as the
two walked back into the office.
“I can’t find your name,” said the
book-keeper, after a long while.
“Look on your books of 1872, re
plied the man.
“Jehovah! save us,” putin a mem
ber of the firm.
It has been thirteen years,” econ
tinued the old man, “but I couldn’t
pay it any sooner.”
The books were found, the aceonnt
made out and paid.
“The interest is how much?” asked
the man as he drew out a well-filled
wallet.
“Nothing,” said Mr. Phil Dodd.
“Let’s take a drink,” said one of
the gentlemen to the “honest man.”
“No, sir,” replied the old debt-pay
er; “I don’tdrink. 'That debt would
have been paid long ago had it not
been for whisky. It ruined me, but
I have learned to leaveit alone.”
The gentleman lives at Lithonia.—
Atlanta Jowrnal.
Junee Kgy, of Tennessce, tells a
story of a political trimmer in one of
the back countiesin Tennessee which
might find its parallel in a broader

to let him talk any longer unless he
would give his views upon_ the sub

it or are yoi against it?” shouted the
crowd. The orator, pressed for a re

for an answer. I have no conceal

frankness, if' it is a good thing I am
for it, and if it is a bad thing T am
agin it.”

A NOVEL GROUND FOR CONTEST.
The county of Camden, which is
usually represented in the Legisla
by gentlemen of color, furnishes a
most novel ground for contest grow=
ing out of the recent election for
county oflicers. One Anthony Mira
coniests the election of W. B. Van
Valkenburg, ordinary, chiefly on the
ground that the said Van Valkenburg
after circulating the report generally
over the county that Mira was out of
the race for ordinary, but was a can
didate for coroner, caused to be print
ed a quantity of tickets with bis own
name for ordinary and Mirva for coro
ner. As o result of this device Van
Valkenburg was elected ordinary
and Mira was duly elected coroner,
a position he did not aspire to, did
not ask for and did not want. Mira
sets forth the unfairness of such a
proceeding, by which he, a candidate
for ordinary, was elected coroner
without his will or knowledge, and
proposes to contest the right of Mr.
Van Valkenburg to the office of ordi
nary.

AN AGED BAPTINT MINISTER.
Two More Important Cases.
Your agent being in Columbus,
Gra., a few days ago, and meeting the
venerable brother J. H. Campbell,
we asked him for the news. Hisreply
was, “I have two more important
cures effected by Swift's Specific to
report.” This venerable man is
known far and wide for his unremit
ting labors of love in behalf of the
poor of Columbus. It will be remem
bered that the Swift Specific Com
pany has donated guite an amount of
their famous medicine, to be distribu
ted by Mr. Campbell among the poor
of the city; hence his remark. IHe
said:
“I have just seen a lady who has
been greatly annoyed by a tetter in
one of her hands. It had given her
much trouble and pain. She said
she had been treated by several phy
sicians during the past theee or four
years with the old remedies, but with~
out giving any relief. 1 suggested
Swift’s Specifie, and she took four
bottles, and is now apparently per
feetly well. Her hand is smooth and
not a single sign of the disease is left.
1% is marvelous how this medicine
renovates the system.
“What about the other case 7
“Well, that was a lady also. She
had been badly.”
I have just returned from a visit to
a lady who was affected with eczema,
for four years. Her face, hands and
arms, as well as her body, were cov
ered with sores and scabs. It was
one of the worst cases of this terrible
disease I have ever seen. The suf
fering of this poor creature was be
yond expression. She tried every
remedy at hand, including mercury
and iodide of potash, but she only
grew worse. She was in this condi
tion when I first saw the case. I
soon had her taking Swift’s Specifie,
i and she has now only tu.h;n two bot
tles, but every mark of the disease
has almost entively disappeared. Her
general health has greatly improved.
It is oneof the most remarkable cures
that has come under my notice, and
in a ministry of sixty years I have
mingled with every class of society
and observed closely the variety of
diseases which affect humanity. Blood
diseases are the most numerous. and
thegmost difficult to remove. To over
come these diseases, it is my deliber
ate judgment that Swift's Specific is
'tlu grandest blood purifier ever dis
covered. Its eflects are wonderful,
and I consider them almost miracu
lous. 'There is no medicine compara
' ble to it.
