. i ¥ The Rlarietta gi b Buotered at the Post Office, Marietta, Ga., as Second Class Matter. MARIETTA, GA. THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 12, 1885. The Governor of Michigan gets $l,- 000 a year while his private secreta ry gets $1,600. The Governor takes honor in part payment for his servi- Ces. e ——— While praying during a recent storm at Natchez, Miss., old Katie Hightower, who has been blind for fifteen years, had her sight suddenly restored, and can now see as well as when a child. D 4 e An insurance company in New Hampshire has decided to resist pay ment on a policy of $5,000 on a house that was blown up by dynamite in Stratford, N. H., contending that the policy does not cover such a case. e i s A Canadian widow of great wealth, aged 74, has married her handsome coachman aged 19. It does not seem to be too cold for Cupid to do some of his tanciest shooting in the Do minion. Golden arrows are not easi ly frozen to the bowstring. The dynamiters seem to never to have taken into consideration the probaility that they themselves may become the victims of dynamite. Itis to be hoped that their own favorite tactics will not be employed against their innocent women and children. — e e Nine convicts were whipped last Saturday at New Castle, Delaware, for larceny and one for burglary. The latter was s negro, who received twenty lashes and was stood up for one hour in the pillory. The ethers received ten lashes each. O i West Virginia is in an uproar be cause a Hd-year old man married an 11-year old girl. It is stated that the bride was bought from her father, and that the marriage is not only void, but the father and husband can be imprisoned, or even hanged under the laws of that State. e — Up in Brockton, Mass., a manufac turer “docked the wages of all his employesd per cent. One of his larg est customers heard of it, and concel led his orders for shoes, reducing the sales of the factory from 45 cases per day. The shoe dealers say short pay means poor work. The Philadelphia Record comes up to the defense of Nero, and says he did not fiddle while Rome was burn ing, for the reason that fiddles were not invented until long after Nero's time. The Record man is evidently not a fiddler, or he would own at least one instrument dating away back yonder in the B. C.’s. —e — O — e TeN years ago Calvin Fletcher, when on a visit to Orange, Los An geles county, Cal., stuck his stick into the ground. The cane took root and is now a stately sycamore tree fifty feet high, with wide-spreading branches, and its base 3% fect in cir cumference. ——— D QB — i A MinNEsorA farmer states that he can “keep one stove going” dur ing six months with the sun-flower stalks produced on an acre of land. The seed produced and fed to fowls pays for all the work ot cultivation. He burns the smaller heads with the stalks, which are cut in the fall to the required length. e et A dog in Wanaqua, N. J., who for some time had been noticed to take his breakfast in his mouth and run away with it uneaten, was followed, when it was discovered that he took his meal to a decrepit and emaciated old dog in a covert in the field, who eagerly devoured the food thus pro vided for him. The Bayard family has been well represented in the senate of the Uni ted States. The grandfather, father and uncle of the present senator cred itably served their respective terms, and the present Senator Bayard and his father were both members of the senate at the same time._ This is the only instance on record where father and son represented the same state at the same time in the senate. | A Pennsylvania Judge sentenced one wife-beater the other day to two and a half years in the penitentiary and another to one year,and regretted that he could not order that the cul prits be whipped within an inch of their worthless lives. The Delaware idea has taken a deep hold in the Kevstone State. The horrible details of the buryingl alive of a prominent farmer of Hen-! dersonville, N. C., have just been re ceived. John Jenkins, the unfortu nate in question, fell ill, and after a prolonged illness assumed the appear ance of death and was buried. Yes terday his brother exhumed the re mains and was horrified to discover that the body had turned in the grave. Both hands were full of hair which the deceased had torn from his head and beard in his frantic ef forts to escape from his awful doom. " BETRAYED AND MURDERED. The fall of Khatorum was due to the treachery of trusted Pshas, who opened the gates and let in the Mah di’s troops. As General Gordon was leaving the government house he was stricken down and murdered by an assassin’sdagger. England is certain ly aroused over this defeat and mas sacre of her brave General. Now that the French and Italian govern ments, as English allies, with armed fleets, going to occupy certain prom inent points, Cario, Alexandria, Suakim, Suez, Port Said and Ismalia, this will enable the British troops in Egypt to proceed forthwith to the Soudan, The Arabs, under their black lead er, Mahdi, are fighting with a hero ism and desperation that excites ad miration ; yet, at the same time there is no credit due them in taking Khatorum. Any fanatical leader could avail himself the assistance of traitors. GEORGIA GLEANINGS. While J. T. Shiners,a bailiff of Worth county, was attempting to ar rest T. B. Boatwright, near Albany, the latter resisted. Pistols were drawn and used, both men were killed. The track of the Augusta and Knox ville road spread, last Monday, owing to the heavy rains. A freight train was wrecked, and Conductor J. G. Davis killed and Judson Walling seriously hurt. President Estill has called a meet ing of the Georgia Press Association at Bainbridge on the 18th of March. The Louisville and Nashville railroad company have tendered the members of the Association and theit ladies an excursion to New Orleans. There were at least 10,000 wild ducks in Brunswick sound Tuesday evening. One flock alone wasstretch ed along for a full mile. They were very tame indeed. Numbers could have been killed from a steamer’s deck with a shortgun. Maj. R. A. Mathews, is the “Fur man” of west Cieorgia. On his one horse farm in Talbotton he says he packed twent-five bales of cotton last year bad crop year asit was. He farms only on the intensive plan and ihc is one of the most successful plan ters in the State. H. €. DeLong walked all the way from Hall county to Cumming, Ga., after a small yellow fice dog. The dog had taken up with William Dud ly, of Forsyth county, who refused to give it up, but Delong swore out a possessory warrant,in which he alleg ed that the dog was ten years old and worth $lO. The case was finally set tled by Dudly paying the cost and giving up the dog. DeLong took the gravel train back to Hall, lead ing his dog, perfectly happy. WepnNespay Judge Pilsbury, of Sumter county, rendered a decision in a criminal case that is a very im portant one. When the case of the State vs. Webb, Solomon and Shep Fletcher for simple larceny came up, Col. John Albritton enteréd the plea that the indictment of the grand jury should be quashed on the ground that the jury contained men over sixty years of age, and contended that the law held a man to be ineligi ble as a grand juror when he reach ed that age. Judge Pilsbury decid ed that such was the case, and quash ed the indictment. This will throw out several cases transferred from the superior to the county court, as the indictments were found by the same grand jury. st i s Tur Republicans in Providence, R. L., appear to have been hard pressed in the recent muunicipal election. Under the constitution of that State no one is entitled to vote unless he is assessed and pays taxes on preper ty of the value of $134. Just prior to the election a Republican official placed a large number of names of persons who were not property own ers.on the personal tax list, and paid the assessments of cach one of them. The Rhode Island Republicans are a shrewd and unserpulous set, and un der their manipulation they will probably be able to carry the State for many years to come. The St. Louis Republican gives an account of a farmer named Samuel MeGregor, living in East St. Louis, who cured himself of Bright's discase, after the doctors had pronounced him incurable, by a diet of dog’s flesh. He ate fifteen dogs inall, says that he found the meat palatable, and not only cured the discase, but made him self a stout and entirely healthy man again. le liked the meat so well that he stopped eating it only when his neighbors threatened him on ac count of the loss of their dogs. Now who will say that dogs arc of no val ue? There are in America at the pres ent time 30,000 locomotives. Tokeep up the standard and supply new de mands 1,200 must be built each year. Locomotives cost on an average $lO,- 000 each, which would indicate an expenditure of £12,000,000 this year. There are sixteen locomotive works in the United States, among which this work and money will be more or less evenlyydistributed. PRESIDENT CLEVELAND. During the three months just pass ed Mr. Cleveland has devoted all the time he could spare from his unfin ished public duties as Governor to the task of ascertaining the views and policies of the leading men of his par ty. He has confined himself to no factions. e has heard all sides, and the statesmen he has consulted are precisely those to whose suggestions it is conceded he ought to listen. ‘ Yet with all this consultation and interchanging of views, what is the fact? Within a short month of the inauguration no living soul, except Mr. Cleveland himself, knows of whom his Cabinet is to'be formed, or whether he has yet finally determin ed on a single one of its members. This may look like political cun ning. Itis not. Itis simply hones ty of purpose—the result of a settled principle to hold the Presidential of fice not as a personal honor, not as a political power, but as a sacred pub lic trust. It is an evidence of the judicial cast of Mr. Cleveland’s mind. He hears all that can be said on all sides. He weighs words, measures opinions, examines reasons, sifts ar guments, and will finally decide when his clear judgment and honest con victiors make plain to him the wisest policy to pursue.—New York World. HEIR TO TWO MILLIONS. William Icliffe, the villaze black smith of Stockton, Worcester county, Maryland, has fallen heir to an Earl dom in England and an estate, the value of which is estimated at $2,000,- 000. He is now forty-five years of age and a respected citizen of the town. He came to this country when | a lad. His father married a black smith’s daughter and was refused re cognition by his parents. The fath er went to London and there learned the trade of blacksmithing of his wife’s father. He had some trouble with the trade union and came to America, leaving his wife and little son behind. They followed soon af ter and tried to find him, but tailing ‘in this, settled in New Jersey. There the son grew up, and meeting a young lady of Worcester county, fell in love with her. They were married and settled at Stockton, where they have lived ever since. The news of his good fortune reached him a short time ago when his signature was ask ed to a suspicious looking document. He refused to sign it, and found out afterward that the document was a transfer of all his rights to the Icliffe property in England. He now has the proper papers in his possession, and will soon be in undisputed pos session of the property. It was all left him by his grandfather’s will. e el AP — LEGLESS AND WITH ONLY ONE ARM. The Sheriff of Kendall county ar rived in Joliet, 111, on the 2d inst., ‘with four prisoners. Among them is William Russell, aged 24, whom the Sheriff had to earry into the prison on his back, as the conviet has no legs and but one arm. Both legs had been amputated close to the trunk and the left arm at the shoulder-joint on account of a railroad accident. This remnant of a man was deposited up on the stone floor of the guardroom and the Sherift produced his mitimus, showing that Russell was sentenced by Judge Charles Kellum, of York ville, to be confined in the penitenti ary for the term of one year at hard labor. e was convieted of stealing a row boat from a man in Plano and selling it at Peoria. The services of an able-bodied convict will be needed to take care of him while in prison. ELOPED WITH A FARM HAND. A somewhat new thing in the elope ment line is reported from Darling ton, Montgomery county, Indiana. On last Wednesday a fellow from Virginia, known as Maj. Tomlinson, left with the wife of Harvey Shauver, a prosperous young farmer, living five miles north of that place. Mr. Shau ver and wife were thought to be liv ing happily, with three beautiful lit tle children. Mr. Shauver’s suspic ions were aroused by one of the lit tle fellows telling him that the Ma jor, who was a farm hand, “kissed ma and ma kissed Major.” Mvr. Shauver ‘took his wife to task for suech action. She did not deny it, and also stated that she would kiss him just when she pleased. Mr. Shauver chastised her for her conduet, and paid the Major off, telling him that he would' give him until Wednesday to leave. This seemed to raise the ire of Mrs. | Shauver, and she quickly gave ]mr} husband to understand that she would go with the discharged man. Mr. Shauver knelt in prayer, :md‘ prayed long and fervently that such | thoughts should not be entertained by his wife, but his prayers would not soften or change her heart. Mr. Shauver gave her all her belongings, and the baby, a beautiful boy two vears old: he helped her into the sleigh, tucked the wraps close around her, and, with tears in his eyes, kiss ed her and the child good-bye, tell ing her that he hoped and prayed she would be satisfied with her ill judged undertaking. The couple stated that they were going to Ore gon. Small pox in Thomson Ga., is be coming serious.

MARIETTA, February 4th, 1885. THE MISSION IN THE SOUDBAN. The Soudan, about which so much has been published oflateis a vast re gion in the south of Egypt. It is mostly a desert and in area exceeding that of India, its population is said to be not greater than ten million. Along the Nile, which bovders it, are strips of verdure, and in the southern part thesoil is very rich. Khartoum, situated at the junction of the two Niles, isan important commercial cen tre, but its population is not more than 10,000 people. Itis the com manding frontier point of Egypt, and it is at the place that the Mahdi’s flag is now flying, and where the palace of the English commander, General Gor- DAN, has probably been reduced to ashes. The Egyptain goverment in the Sou dan has been defined by Mr. W. T\ STEAD; in the Century, to have been a more matter of periodical pillage. The soverecignty under the Khedive was Turkish in fashion, and the Sul tan’s poliey of civil bashi bazouks al ternated in petty wars, marked by the torture of men and the ravishing of women. The present internecine strife in the Soudan is essentially a rebellion of the Arabs under the M:ahdi against the dominion of Egypt. He has been struggling for three years against the supremacy ot Egypt, and the Arabs of the Soudan are better people than the Egyptains themselves, the symprthy of civilization must in the end be with them. England’s part in this purely local controversy has been dramatic and delicate and is now full of the direst danger. The Soudan and the freedom of the Nile command the entrance to the heart of Africa whence England must hope to push her line of explo ration and conquest. With the Sou ‘dan in perpetual turmoil the British ‘engineers and tradesman cannot hope to travel undisturbed. England therefore, hag attemped to dictate to Egypt entire evacuation of the prov ince and to hand the country over to its original owners. The plan was a difficult one. To provide for the safe removal of Egyptain employes and troops, as well as native Christians, women and children who could well not remain ; to guarantee the safety of 25,000 soldiers in the Egyptian gar risons against the Arabian hordes ea ger to massacre them, wus pluusil»lc! and humane, but its uccnmplishmcm! will cost England millions of pounds stealing, two or three armies, and present problems which may dissolve GLADSTONE'S goverment and compli-| cate many ministries to come. | It is the absorbing British <|uostion; to-day, next to the Irish problem at| home, and is engrossing the attention of the civilized world. ltis taxing| the nerve of Wolseley, :lggm\'uting} the pride of the people of the realm| and adding gray hairs to the great| premier, who may find his fate in i the siege of Khartoum as completely | as GORDAN has met his final if not| his fatal, reverse.—dugusta Chronicle. | e Yellow fever is reported as m:xkingi ereat inroads at Panama, and itis| further stated that there is a dispo-| sition to keep the truth, as to the ex- | tent of the ravagesofthe discase, even | from the inhabitants of the isthmus it- | self. i Ostrich farming in south Africa has advanced with such strides that the number of tame birds there is estima ted to have inereased from eighty in 1865 to at least 70,000 in 1884, pro ducing feathers for export of the val ue of about $3,000,000 per annum, Tue richest silver mine at Lead ville was sold by the discoverer for £40,000, and during the following year the two purchasers made a mil lion each from it. In the meantime the discoverer squandered his $40,000 in prospecting, and the other day, a homeless tramp, sought a - night’s lodging in a Leadville station house. When the news of the death of Eli zabeth Berry, in Derry, Pa, was tele graphed to her father in Olio, he dropped dead without a word. The news of this, following on her daughter’s unexpected death, was too much for the mother. The three were buried togegher. A Farmer in West Virginia has discovered a new use for dynamite, that of protecting hen coops. e tried his plan the other night, and while his hens were scattered to the tour winds he found a dead negro. S ey When a Greek immigrant was searched in New York recently, he was found to be armed with a weapon which looked like a large ivory-han dled jack-kuife. When examined a pistol hammer was discovered on one side. This, when pulled up, threw out a dagger on the other side. As soon as the pistol was discharged, a four-inch blade ran out ready for The Beauty of Youth.
