r - The Marietta Journal. Butered at the Post Office, Marietta, Ga., as Second Class Matter. MARIETTA, GA. THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 19, 1885. There is a widow in Birmingham thirteen years old, and she attends the public school. ‘ —— > — . Col. Tom Buford, the slayer of Judge Elliott in Frankfort,Ky.. some | years ago, died last Thursday. e e The Georgia railroad furnishes pas senger coaches with separate apart ment for white and colored people, both of equal comfort and acemmoda tion. T — D~ — . The son of Senator Mahone has been on a big drunk. He shot a por ter in a Washington hotel, whizzed a bullet through the hair of the pro prietor, and is under a bond of $l,OOO for assault with intent to kill. The Philadelphia Press is responsi ble for the statement that there are in Philadelphia 1,000 anarchists, in New York 7,000 in Chicago 4,000. These belong to what is called the “International Association.” e e . In a dry goods fight at Cham bershurg, Pa., one firm put the price of calico down to one-quarter of a cent per yard, whereupon the rival concern offered calico at one-eighth of a cent, or eight yards for a cent. T — - — The largest sale of canned corn ever made in this country was effect ed by a Maryland factory association last week. It agreed to put 100,000 cases on the cars atabout 73 cents per dozen. e e No one is ever killed by Tightning when asleep in bed, according to the assertion of an English electrician, Whenever you hear a clap of thunder always go to bed and fall asleep im mediately. This is a sure precau tion. A New York lawyer has had an other New York lawyer before a po lice court to have him punished for sending dunson postal cards. The law ought to be changed. Sometimes a postal card is the only thing that can find a delinquent debtor in. e — . — . Just the same as in any other field of labor, there is a chance in journal ism for a young man to wm:he o name for himself. Edmund Yates com menced as a reporter at 8> a weck. This was an humble beginning ; but he had talent and energy. Now he is in jail—[New Orleans Picayune. e e A Hog was recently killed at Blooming Grove, Sullivan County, N. Y., and when dressed a thick wire fourteen inches long was found in the lights and pressed against the heart. Though twisted aund coiled in differ ent shapes and forced into the vitals, the hog was apparently as healthy as ever. “F. H. R.” telegraphs to the Con stitution that Senator Brown went before the Judiciary Committee and advoeated the confirmation of Emory Speer’snomination. Senator Colguitt briefly replied to him. He also states that the cornmittee agreed, by a striet party vote, to report favorably upon the nomination. SRR There are over 100,000 office hold ers in the United States in the ser vice of the general government. Now, let us figure a little If Cleve land should commence immediately after his inaugu ation to make new appointments to take the place of Republicans, and work ten hours cach day for one year of 306 days, he would have to make an appointment every two minutes in order to get through thelist by the end of the year. What foolishness it is to talk about making a clean sweep as the first thing for Mr. Cleveland to do. Good news comes from iron mills in various parts of the country. They are resuming work, and that means a distribution of wages and the healthy circulation of money. The amount of a nation’s currency is not of half so much importance as the freedom with which it circulates through the im pulse of active business. A dollar that is hoarded in times of panic and distrust is useless for the time being, but a dollar paid out in the murning‘ may before night closes represent the purchase of a score of dollars’ \wrth‘ of thin;:s necessary to the sustenance of working men. ‘ B — Private detectives, say a story from Cleveland, shadowed a socialist who was at last seen to 0 into a lll‘ll',: store and write out a prescription, which wasfilled. The detvetives secured it. and had it again made up, the result being a colorless mixture. This was applied to a door panel and also to pa per. It left no stain, but in half an hour began to blaze. This suggested the methods of the man, who could casily sprinkle his liquid over a heap of rubbish or on a pile of lumber, and be two miles away before the fire would break out. The man was close- ‘ ly watched with the expeetation of seeing him in the act, but he took alarm and left the city. | SKATING RINK CRAZE. IN the East the skating craze has had a long run, and its evil results are seen on every hand in the broken down physiques of young girls who were frequenters of rinks. The press and the medical profession of the me tropolis are waging hot war on the institutions. Acting upon the ‘ad vice the better class of people have withdrawn their patronage, and the others are fast following suit. It has been demonstrated that the dangers to the female sex from all day use of the sewing-machine are insignificant in comparison with the hazards of roller skating. There is eminent medical testimony to the effect that roller-skating is especially dangerous ‘to women and girls—especially to girls approaching womanhood ; that women are not anatomically or phys iologically fortified for the exercise, and that the danger to them is very grave. Roller-skaters seldom indulge in moderation. The stimulation of the crowds to excessive labor, turns what was intended to be an amuse ment into a menace to health, limb and life. RICH GOLD MINE, { Gray & Lane, of Elizabethtown Ky., are at Villa Rica superintending the erection of their stamp mill, and have the mill almost ready for the engine. The vein of ore they propose working is said to be the richest in gold of any vein struck for a long time. M. Willoughby, an old English miner of many years’ experience, thinks it is the main vein leading from Pine mountain. This company will be known asThe Eden Gold Mining Com pany.” The Farmston Gold Mining Company are sinking another shaft and taking out ore for their mill. They have the finest mill and the most approved machinery of any in the State, costingaboutslo,ooo. An other mill is being built on the “Jones” vein by a wealthy company, and will be running by spring. Mr. Clarke Wadkins is the superintend ent. By May 1 the mines will have four mills running. S e ecam s SINGULAR SCENERY. One of the most sincular features iu the scenery of the territory of Ida ho is the occurrence of dark, rocky chasms, into which cvecks and large streams suddenly disappear and are never more seen. The fissures are old lava channels, produced by the outside of the mass cooling and form ing a tube, which, when the fiery stream was exhausted, has been left empty, while the roof of the lava duct, having at some point fallen in,) pres ents there the opening into which the river plunges and is lost. At one place along the Suake one of these rivers appear gushing from a cleft high up in basaltic walls, where it leaps a cataract into the torrent be low. Where this stream has its orig in, or at what point itis swallowed up, is absolutely unknown, although it is believed that its sources are a long way up in the North countries. ‘ EARN BREAK OFF. A correspondent from Manitoha writes that with the thermometer 58 degrees below zero the air is so wonderfully clear anddry that it does not seem half so cold as it really is, but the effects are reliable proofs of the temperature. Itisa very common sight to see people partly frozen, but unless they see themselves in a glass, or are told of the fact, they are not conscious of being frozen. Oceasion ally the part frozen will snap off, and kittens’ and ponies’ cars often break oft. Mustard two feetabove the stove will freeze. Water poured from a boiler into a pail and taken at once to the stable will frequently be thickly coated with ice, which must be brok en before the cattle can drink. SHALL POX CURE. The following cure for small-pox has been sent to the Postmaster at Thomson for the benefit of the afflict ed, with the assurance that it will ac complish all that is claimed for it : “The small-pox is found to consist of a few ounces of foreign matter in the blood, which can never escape hut through the glands of the skin. Let the patient place his feet in hot water and wrap himselt in blankets, and commence drinking two or three quarts of water in the form of light black tea, as hot as he ean bear. The oxygen of the water soon restores the full power of his nerves, the wa ter dilutes the blood and the great heat expands the smaller blood ves sels,so that the restored nervous pow er can drive the blood to the surface where the glands seerete the foreign matter which forms the pox and ex pels it in two or three hours, and can never fail to do so. It is hard to soc our neighbors carried to their graves while one cent’s worth of these cards printed would have kept them from spending one day in bed. *‘With what measure you meet it shall be measured to you again.’ Rev. Dr. D. Rbinson, Ts§Paterson street, Pa terson, N. J.” The English war in Egypt over shadows the French war in China for the present. But the French are making progress ail the same. On Fridry Gen. Brive's forces destroyed five forts belonging t» the Chinese, the enemy having evacuated them without fighting. GEORGIA GLEANINGS. | Rev. Josiah Lewis died at Sparta on the 13th inst. A negro in Monroe became angry with his wife and cut her throat. He is in jail. A negro named Henry Whitfield has been sentenced to be hung on the 27th | of March for arson in Savannat.. Several hundred LeConte pear trees ‘ have been added to the orchards in the neighborhood of Dalton this year.

J M Rees, of Marietta, was on the steamer “Alaska,” so long overdue, and was mourned for as lost by his family. Hearrived Thursday in good health and spirits. A burglar entered the hotel at Pow der Springs the other night and took from the pants of Mr. Jack Rake straw $llB. Two negroes have been arrested on suspicion. Dudley Thomas, Spalding county’s colored bailiff-clect, has not succeed ed in making a bond yet, and in a spirit of chagrin declares he “don’t care nuflin fur de office nohow.’ The Gainesville Press boastingly says that there is a 15-year old girl that lives in that settlement who can shoulder two and a half bushels of wheat. The Hawkinsville Dispatch meets the issue by saying that there is living in one of the counties below Hawkinsville a girl under 15-years of of age who can shoulder 2 sacks of salt and “‘tote” them upon her shoulders 100 yards. A Tovau Hex Story.—About the 15th of January, Mr. John William son, who has recently moved near our town, missed fone of his hens. Thinking it had been stolen, he had about dismissed the matter from his mind, when on yesterday he heard a noise in the well. Procuring help he let a boy down in the well. When he was drawn out, to the surprise of all, he brought the long missed hen, which, after her fast of twenty days, walked off singing. There wasa cave in the side of the well near the water, into which she manaced to get, which saved her from drowning and hid 'her from view.— Forsyth Adver fiser. Too Mvceu Movey 1y His Pockers, —Last Sunday evening when Sheriff Ward went to the jail to feed the prisoners, one James Evans colored, who was in jail for some trivial of fense, was told to take out the buck ets of slop from the jail, and when he got down the steps, although the sheriff was almost in arm’s length of him, he dropped the buckets and sped to the woods like a deer. M. Ward made immediate pursuit, and ran the fugitive until darkness pre cluded any further attempt at his capture, and in the dense woods and black darkness he made good his es cape. Mr. Ward had collected, on Saturday, a large amount of money, and had in his pants something over two hundred dollars in silver, which he had brought to town deposit in a safe. Had it not been for being thus weighted down, he says he knows he could have caught him.~l'ulq/la.w'il/v1 Sar. A LAw appears to be needed in New York fixing the limit of a la borer’s savings. A policeman ar rested a servant woman the other day because she had on her person 8150 cash and two bank books show ing deposits to her eredit in savings banks to the amount of some $6OO, She was arrested on “‘suspicion,” be cause the officer thought she had too much wealth for a person in her walk of life. The police justice, however, was enlightened enough to dismiss her when her mistress appeared and swore that the woman was honest and had saved the money from the wages of several vears. A man in Lewiston, Me., recent ly bought a cow of alocal cattle deal er. Nomeonejokingly asked him if he knew that the cow was so old as not to have any teeth in her upper jaw. The man went home, and upon ex amining the cow, found that she had no teeth in that region, and promptly returned the cow. It was with some difficulty that he was made to under stand that cattle never have any teeth in their upper jaws. 1 | Winters & Legg.

MARIETTA, February 4th, 1885. Hears Turoven Her Nosg— Harrison Hahn, of Wind Gap, Pa, has a two-year old daughter whose ears are bent forward and grown fast to the face. The girl was deformed when born. When she became two months old two doctors separated the cars from the face and tied them back to their proper place, but they re turned to their former position and are there so remain undisturbed. Both ears are without the orifice, but deafness is prevented by the girl hear ing every sound, no matterhow light, through her nose and mouth. Sheis a very bright girl, is very fond of mu sic, weighs only twenty pounds, is healthy, and is Mr Hahn’s first and only child, although he has been mar ried fifteen years.—[ Philadelphia News. Cocoanut planting in Florida is now in progress under direction of K. A. Osborn, of Middletown, N. J. who senta vessel to South Ameriea for 135,000 plants to be set out on Bis cayne Island, Fla., and who also sent via Key West all the necessary men, houses, provisions, hoats, mules, etc. This planting will occupy 1.500 acres of land. The 100,000 cocoanut trees Mr. Osborn planted last winter are growing finely, and are from three to fivefeet high. The treesshould bear, at five years of age 150 to 200 nuts annually, realizing fromZs3 to, $5 per tree, if all goes well. For seratches in horses a good rem edy is found in common coach var nish, if the affected partsare first well bathed and cleansed with warm, strong soap suds. Where the var nish is not to he had, another reme dy is recommended, of equal parts of pine tar, sulphur and lard, mixed and rubbed into a strong ointment. ~ The Baltimore Manufactures Re cord publishes a long list of the lead ing enterprises that have resumed work within the last four weeks. The number of hands employed by these companies, ascertained by special re port, is about ninety thousand. The estimated number employed by small er works lately started up and not given in the list, is fully ten thous and. This makes a total of one hun dred thousand men that have gone to work in manufacturing enterprises since January Ist. In addition a large number of miners, ten thousand in one Pennsylvania county alone, have commenced work within the last few weeks. It is not believed that of the men hung in acecordance with the law in this country one in a thousand is in nocent. It is not improbable howey er, that innocent men are hung. A strange case has just come to light in Philadelphai. Dr. A. G. F. Goer son has been sentenced to be hung on March 5. He was convicted of hay ing poisoned his wife. The witness on whose testimony he was convieted was Sadie Sandor. On Friday she confessed that her testimony was false, and that she had been induced to testify as she did by an enemy of the convicted man. If her confesssion proves to be genuine, an innocent man will have had a narrow eseape from the gallows. Nix women were sworn on the grand jury at Whatcom, Idaho, last week. It is not stated whether that part of the oath relating to the seeresy of the proceedings was omitted or not. If it was not, it was doubtless taken with about a half-dozen mental reserva tions, A FEW THOUGHTS. : ’ Enirors - JourNat—+Please allow me a ~smali space in your paper to say a few words on the stock law. My understanding is that six months after a district adopts it, every one living within the bounds of that distriet who has stock is compelled by law to keep their stock fenced up or enclosed upon their own premises ; whether the distriet is fenced or not, and in case the district is not fenced, stock coming in from an adjoining district and doing damage to crops, ete., the owner of such crops so damaged cannot recover damages out of the owner of said stock. Some forty, fifty or more farmers around Powder Springs made up a club and order ed 100 tons of guano, and now some of the cotton buyers of Powder Springs are dis pleased about it and say they have these farmers “spotted” and will not buy their cotton next fall. What folly! Have not the farmers the same rights and liberties they were horn with? Have the farmers usurped any right or privilege that did not Justly belong to them ? Will some of these cotton buyers give the Journal a statement of the amount of cotton bought by them last season outside (yes, inside, too,) of their guano and provision bills and the price paid forit? T venture the assertion that either one of the firms of cotton buyers in Marietta bought more cotton (and paid move for it) than all the cotton buyers combined at Pow der Springs. Let them furnish their neigh hors the number of cotton bales that passed directly through their town en route to Ma rietta. Gentlemen, this kind of bragadocia is all wrong. It hurts the trade of Powder Springs and is out of order, and to make it plain, so plain that a wayfareing man though a fool cannot err therein, these farmers are only exercising a right that these very cot ton buyers claim and exercise every day of their lives and consider a legitimate Dbusi ness. Somebody else is ‘“spotted,” too. What about that 2 Consistency thou art a Jewel. One word about our public roads. They are genereally in bad order. I see T am drawn as & member of the grand jury for the ifirst-\\‘vck and it is our imperative duty to see after these roads and have them put in 'good order, and unless they are found to be | inmach better condition than they have been, for some time back, instead of reporting them in the usual way, (to-wit: “we find the public roads genevally in good ordor with few excepiions and we recomuend the roper authorities to have them put in good order at once,”) we should recommend a ’fin(' be placed on all delinquents. Commis sioners of ronds should at onee procecd to have these roads put in good order and then }inqwct them after a washing rain, and if found in good order, all riche, but if not, or {l"‘l' them reworked and fiil not to have the last one in proper fix. I'know one or more roads in Powder ffi‘»]‘)rings district that have inur been worked in two years and one of them did not even have any hanls on it | This is unjust —some people patting their portions of public roads in proper fix and others doing but little or nothing to their roads.
