For the last two or three years no money has been made in growing watermelons. Frank Abner, 15 years old, is charged with murdering his grand mother, Mrs. Ross, near Rock Creek, IIL., afew nightsago.

H. C. Barnes, of Kershaw county,l S. C., was knocked down and robbed in New Orleans recently. He was hit with a sandbag and knocked sense less for a time.

She was undoubtedly the oldest person in that State, ifnot in the United States. Her last words were: “Not my will but thine be done.” A young lady in New York com menced using arsenic about a year ago to beautify her complexion. The experiment panned out to her com plete satisfaction. She succeeded in securing a white complexion, but just at that point the drug began to put in some of its fine work, and an inju dicious dose lett the silly girl a corpse. A Mg.

Ie had just returned from his customary horseback ride and, feeling badly, went to bed, when he was seized with a chill and died in a few minutes. He was about 75 years old, and had achieved great success in cotton planting and was widely known. A great western editor declares that the next advance in journalism, which up to this time has been noto rious for the quantity of news, will be a diseriminating taste as to the quality. No less a poet and newspa per man than William Cullen Bryant said that the character and success of a journal were dependent more up on what was suppressed rather than what was printed, of the vast mass of matter offered for publication. o e A tramp was sentenced in Palmer, Mass., a few days ago to one year of vagrancy. While endeavoring to make his escape througha brick wall, the janitor appeared in the door who left his bunch of keys hanging in the door. It was the work of a minute for the tramp to jump out of the door, lock up the janitor and make off. He has the keys which unlock the jail, court room and banks of the ‘town, SPEER CONFIRMED. Emory SpEER was confirmed as Judge of the Southern District of Georgia on the 18th inst., by one ma-J jority, and Senator Brown giving the decisive vote in Speer’s favor. The Senate sat in executive session on his case nearly four hours. Most of the time was taken up by Senators Brown and Colquitt. Senator Col quitt made a long speech, reviewing the evidence he had submitted before the judiciary committee, and stren uously opposing Speer. e declared ‘that the people of the district over which he would preside were almost unanimous in opposition to his con firmation. He said Speer was unfit in character and attainments for this office, and to force him upon the peo ple would be an outrage. Senator Colquitt denied that he opposed Speer because of his politics. Though Speer had figured somewhat in polit ical affairs, it would be pretty hard to tell what his politics are. He said he based his objections solely on the lack ot legal and moral qualifications. He concluded with an appeal to the republicans to look beyond the fact that this was the nomination of a re publican president, and of one who claimed to be a republican, and to judge of him on his merit as a man. Senator Colquitt was very emphatic in his remarks. Senator Brown made an earnest speech in support of Speer; so did Hoar. - Senator Vest, of Missouri, spoke against Speer. Vote stood 30 to 29. All the dem ocrats except Senator Brown voted against confirmation or were paired against it. Four Republicans oppos ed Speer. They were Hale, of Maine; Jones, of Nevada; VanWyck, of Ne braska ; and Plumb, of Kansas. /The case caused the most spirited contest known in the executive sessions in a long time. All honor to Senator Colquitt for the part he took in this contest. Of the two Georgia Senators, he alone represented the true demoecratic sen timent of the people of this State. A DEADLY THRUST. AT Shelbyville, Tenn., Perry Col lins and Sam Scott, relatives, went home drunk and quarreled at the supper table about a bet of ten cents. Collins threw the coffee pot at Scott. The men went out doors with drawn knives to fight it out, Mrs. Collins, who had been an agonized witness to the difficulty, doing all she could to prevent it, ran in between the two men just as each made a deadly thrust at the other with his knife. She received both the stabs, one in the heart and one in the neck. She turned and walked back into the house and fell dead. Her children screamed, and the men having made friends, rushed in to view their dead ly work. They were allowed to at tend the funeral of their victim and rode together in a spring wagon to the grave. They were then placed in Jail. BRISTLING WITH NEEDLES. A remarkable case, now puzzling several physicians, has just been de veloped in Manor Township, Arm strong county, Pa., a few miles from Pittsburg. A daughter of George Weaver, a dairyman in that locality, recently began suffering from a jag ging sensation in her arms and body. The pain finally became unbearable, and a physician was called in to ex amine the case. He discovered a number of needle points just under the skin and removed them. This afforded the young woman re lief for the time being, but a day or two ago she began to feel symptoms of more needles in different parts of her body, and cailed upon Dr. Jessop of Armstrong county, to remove them. He extracted six from her right arm, four from the muscles and two from the flesh at the back of arm. Their removal seemed to cause the patient intense anguish. ~ Altogether twenty-four needles have been removed from her body and they are still appearing on her breast, side and arm. In reply to a question as to how the needles came there she said that she believed some one shot them into her flesh. James R. Stevens, a farmer, resid ing a short distance above 'l'renton, N. J., visited that city on Saturday night and left his horse and carriage under a hotel shed until after night fall. On returning to the quiet of his suburban home he was mystified by finding a newly-born infant snug ly wrapped in the rear part of his wagon. He was utterly unable to account for the cherub’s sudden ad vent, unless it had fallen with the snow from the skies. The little stranger was kindly cared for by Mrs. Stevens, and its foster parents are now anxious awaiting a claimant. EASY THINGS. ’ There are some boys who do not }like tolearn anything that is hard. ‘They like easy lessons and easy work, ‘but they forget that things which are learned easily are of comparatively little value when they are learned. A man who confines himself to easy things must do hard work for small pay. For example, a boy can learn to saw wood in five minutes; any boy can learn to saw it in the same time ; any ignorant person can learn it just as easily ; and the result is, the boy who has only learned to saw wood, if he gets work to do, must do it in com petition with the most ignorant class, and accept the wages for which they are willing to work. ~ Now, it is very well for a boy to ‘know how to saw wood. But suppose ‘he knew how to builda steam engine. ‘This whuld be much harder to learn ‘than sawing wood ; but when he had learned it he would know something which other people do not know, and iwhen he got work to do other people could not come and get it away from him. He would have a prospect of steady work and good wages; he would have a good tradeand so be in dependent. Boys should think of this, and spend their early days in learning the thing they need to know in after years. Some boys are very anxious to leran; but this is not al ways best. Itis often more impor tant that boys shsuld learn. When they are young they can earn but little, but they can learn much, and if they learn things thoroughly when young, they will earn when they are older much more than enough to make up for the time and labor which they spent in learning what to do and how to do it. APPALLING FATE OF A YOUNG LADY, A horrible story comes from Spring field, W. Va., of the burying ofa young lady (Miss Mary Cox) alive. She was taken violently ill, and the attending physician decided that she was suffering from neuralgia and pre scribed morphine—one dose to be ad ministered at once and another in twenty-four hours. By mistake the second dose was given in a short time after the first, and in an hour or two thereafter Miss Cox apparently died, and in two days was buried. At the funeral one lady insisted that she was not dead and wanted a physician sent for. But no attention was paid to this, and the night after the burial ‘ the dogs of a man living near the graveyard stationed themselves at the tomb and kept up a persistent howl ing. The strange action of these dogs led to the openjng of the grave early the next day, and to the horror of all it was found that the girl had been buried alive. The lining was torn from the sides of the casket, and the pillow was in shreds. The poor girl had literally stripped the clothes from her body. Her hands and arms were torn and bleeding, and the lips were bitten through, and handfuls of hair were torn from her head. The girl had come to life, and evidently made a fearful struggle to escape. The awful affair fills the community with horror. NOT SO BIG AS HE THOUGHT A bright little fellow, about three years of age, was very anxious to go to walk with his father. “No,” said the latter, “you can’t go; you're too little.” “Oh, no, papa,” he said stoutly, “I’'m a big boy.” “All right,” said his father, “come along.” On the way home the little fellow became tired, and wanted his father to carry him “I thought you were a big boy,” said his father, pretending to sneer. ~ “I was a big boy when I started out,” he said, “but I'm a little boy now. He was carried the rest of the way.—Merchant Traveler. Knoxville people are still bragging about the hog killed in that city some days ago, which weighed 1,205 pounds, or about 200 pounds more than an average horse. It is now claimed that the ponderous porker was not a native of East Tennessee, but belong ed to one of the F. F. Vs, and tipped the hay scales at 800 pounds when he was exported from the Old Domin ion, and that he was really a native of Kentucky and was sent to Virginia in his “pighood.” The honor, there fore, will have to be shared by at least three States. | The cocoanut will not flourish away from the seashorc, salt water being absolutely essential to its growth.

DON'T HIT THAT POST. ’ The funeral ceremonies were con cluded, ard the remains of the late wife of DeGruntle were being car ried in the elegant casket to the hearse. Just as the bearers neared the hearse one of them stumbled and the casket struck against a post. At once there was a commotion in the casket, and a faint cry was heard. The bearers returned to the house with their burden, and on opening the casket it was found that the un fortunate woman was not dead, and had come near being buried while in a state of unconsciousness that had lasted several days. Two years afterward Mrs. DeGrun tle really died, and for a second time the funeral services were being held over the body. At their conclusion tne casket was taken out as before. As the bearers were walking down the path to the hearse the bereaved husband suddenly rushed oat of the house and shouted: “Take care, there! Don’t let the casket hit that post.— Boston Sunday Times. [ Tue OLp, OLp STORY.—Augustus and Clara had become engaged after the usual manner of young people who haven’t anything else to do, and Clara showed a disposition after some time to dissolve the tie. “Augustus,” she said one evening, “let’s don’t be engaged any longer.” “What's that for?’ he inquired with some surprise. “Oh, I'm tired, and besides it was only a sham engagement on my part, anyway. Here’s your ring. “Don’t trouble yourself about the ring, Clara. It is only a sham dia mond anyway. I bought a half doz en for three dollars, just to use in little emergencies like this. Good by; don’t tell any of the other girls about the ring please,” and he went out.— Merchant Traveler. The prune industry is attracting much attention from the orchardists of California, and the fruit grown is in no ways inferior to the best im ported. Perhaps the largest prune orchard in the world is situated one mile from Sarotaga,Cal.,and contains 16,000 trees. It was recently sold for $72,000. Itis situated on a gentle slope from the foot of the mountain to the Los Gatos road, and can be ta ken in at a glance. Near byitis the famous Rice orchard, containing fruit and nuts trees of almost every known variety ; also the ’Banion & Kent orchard of 80 acres, for which $llO,- 000 advance is said to have been offer ed and refused. Canned prunes are among the new delicacies in the mark et, and there is no other fruit that excels them in tempting flavor. They are destined to be heldin great favor, and will command a good price. Malarial Poison. The drouth in Southwest Georgia last spring dried up the wells, and we were compelled to use water from the creek on the plantation. The re sult was that all were troubled with chills and fever. I carried with me several bottles of Swift’s Specific, and as long as I took it, I had perfect health. As soon as I ceased taking it, I, like the rest, was afflicted with chills. When I resumed its use, I was all right again. We have used it in our family as an antidote for ma laria poison for two or three years, and have never known it to fail in a single instance. W. C. Fur Low. Sumter Co., Ga., Sept. 11, 1884, A Cripple Restored. Some two years ago I received a boy (Lona White) into the Orphans’ Home, near Macon, from Columbus. He was one of the poorest creatures I have ever seen—nothing but skin and bone—crippled and deformed by Scrofula, which had attended him from his birth. About eighteen months ago I commenced giving him Swift’s Specific. After several bot tles had been taken and no visible results to be seen, I began to despair, but continued the medicine. At last signs of improvement in both body and mind. He is now about four teen years old, and is onc of the brightest boys I have ever known. I honestly believe that he will ulti ‘mately outgrow the eftects of this loathsome disease under the influence of Swift’s Specific. The two cases of erysipelas which were treated some two years ago with S. 8. 8. show no symptoms of return of the disease. L. B. PAYNE, o Supt. Orphans’ Home, So. Ga. Conf.
