Jesse Grant says his mother has
just received a check of $250,000

Mr. Price for something over $1,700.
The case will be carried to the Su

Who would imagine, as he looks up
on the placid countenance of a low

edly chewing the remnants of the
cast-off hoop skirt, that behind that
peaceful brow lurks a power that is
able to transport a man into the next

put electricity to blushing.
Congressman Brady denies most of
Hon. George D. Wise’s statements
in refuting Boutelle’s harangue. But
who is Brady that he should put him
self up as an oracle of veracity? If
we remember correctly he has a very
unsavory political record, and is very
economical in handling truth, and
quite proficient in doing dirty work.
The House has passed the widows
pension bill, an extravagant measure,
as a choice between two evils, an

Congressman Crisp made a magnifi

The profound sympathy of the peo

death has taken his wife also. On

died in Washington City of conges

supposed by the strain and excite

The charge is that the Bell Tele
phone patents, under which a tre
mendous monopoly has been built up,
were procured through the collusion
ot a patent office employe, who im
parted to the Bell company certain
valuable information concerning
previous application for a patent that
covered the invention that Professor
Bell claims to have made. This in
formation enabled Bell to perfect his
application, and the telephone pat
ents were granted o him by means
of this collusion. This is the charge,
and the government has been asked
to bring suit to discover whether the
charge be true. l
THE TELEPHONE SCANDAL.
The New York Sun insists that
Mr. Garland, the Attorney General,
and Mr. Lamar, the Secretary of the
Interior, are involving President
Cleveland’s administration in scan
dal because Garland owns stock in
the Pan Electric Télephone Compa
ny, and Lamar endorses the Attor
ney General’s opinion that the Gov
ernment ought to bring suit against
the Bell Telephone Company to set
aside their patent as having been ob
tained fraudulently because Bell was
not the original inventor. The Pres
ident opposes the suit being brought
by the Government, and the Sun
thinks therefore he should reorgan
ize his cabinet by leaving Garland
and Lamar out. The New York
Times, Republican, defends the Pres
ident, also Mesers. Garland and La
mar, and says there is nothing in the
#o-called scandal worthy of the se
rious aspect the Sun would give it.
Northern journals are disposed to
magnify the matter, although it is
said that there are serious doubts as to
the validity of the patent of the Bell
Telephone Company. Upon the
strength of this, a company was form
ed on paper called the Pan Electric
Telephone Company, and many
shares of stock were given Senators
Garland, Harris and Vest, General
Joe Jonston, Casey Young, member
of Congress from Tennessee, and J.
D. C. Atkins, now of the Interior De
partment. There was nothing crim
inal in these gentlemen receiving
this stock, but when Garland, became
Attorney General he should have re
linquished this stock, before the suit
was brought in the name of the gov
ernment. Solicitor Goode ordered
the suit dutring the Attorney (iener
al Garland’s absence, and then it be
came the duty of the Secretary of the
Interior to have the valadity of the
Bell patent tested by the courts. Of
course an investigation cannot hurt
the legal rights of anybody, Lut will
expose fraud or remove suspicion of
fraud on the part of the Bell Tele
phone Company.
Garland is a man above reproach
and is incapable of using the govern
ment to advance his private inter
ests.
| A DUAL LIFE.
Two women are claiming to be the
wife of J. W. Pierce, the Texas stock
man who was killed in the collision
on the E. T., V. &G. railroad near
Austell, a few weeks since. A wo
man of Texas, claiming to be Mes. J.
W. Pierce, first put in a claim. But
quite recently an Indiana woman be
coming satisfied that the man called
J. W. Pierce was her husband, really
named J. Pierce Weaver, who had
left her for Texas two or three years
ago, and had been living there with
another woman, went to Atlanta to
make claim to his effects as his law
ful wife. She described certain un
‘mistakable features and marks by
which she could identify. him, and
-when his body was exhumed on last
‘Wednesday week her description was
found to be entirely correct, and she
fully identified him. A law suit be
tween the two women will follow.
STRUCK IT RICH.
Several Atlanta young men have
recently fallen into the possession of
a tract of land in Cherokee county,
North Georgia, eighteen miles from
Acworth ; and not long since surface
‘indications ot rich yellow gold were
‘discovered, which led these young
men to look into the matter and as
certain whether or not it would be
well for them to invest a few hun
dred dollars in a mining speculation.
A small smount of money spent for
this purpose satisfied them that be
neath the surface of the earth there
was hidden immense quantities of
gold. Now, these young men have
gone to work with a right good will,
and have already succeeded in rais
ing 826,000 of the 850,000, the re
mainder of which they anticipate get
ting in a very few days. The num
ber of shares is placed at 500, at 8100
per share. W. R. Ware is president
of the stock company, and George
Lowndes treasurer. The mine been
given a very happy and endearing ti
tle, viz : “Baby Mine.”
} MINOR CREDIT.
It is the minor form of credit in
our stores that works so much injury
to our domestic habits. People who
sleep on a credit; who wear their
clothes and go to church on a credit;
who live on a credit in every thing;
such people never learn economy.
To pay as you go, is the secret of
prosperity. And on this fact you
may rest, viz : whatever self denial
you may practice, unless you rigidly
deny yourself store credit, you are
certain to fail in your household man
agement. Pay as you go or go with-l
out.
| HORRIBLE ACCIDENT,
A horrible accident is reported from
Toccoa. Friday a little boy named
Pierce attempted to cross the track
on the Air Line road in tront of the
engine. His foot caught in something
and he fell on the track. The engine
passed over him, cutting off one of
his legs where it joined his body,
and exposing his bowels to view.

LOCAL ITEMS.
THE HOWARD MURDER,
—There are no new developments in the
Howard murder since our last isstie, except
that Joe Heywood, colored, who was arrest
ed charged with the crime, had his prelimin
ary trial on last Friday before Justice Winn.
R. N. Holland' represented the prisoner,
‘and Joe B. Alexander and W. R. Power the
‘prosecution. A number of witnesses ap
peared, but there was no material fact elici
ted save -that Heywood was still unable to
account for his whereabouts that night dur
ing his absence from home, and his shoes
fitted the tracks made leading across Mr,
Camp's and Dr. Stewdit's fields to the Dal
las road. This evidence was considered
sufficient to bind Heywood over, and he was
committed to jail to await March term of
Superior Court. The Court House was
crowded with negroes, of both sexes, who
had abandoned work in their excitement to
gather all the information they could about
the murder and as to the probable murder ‘
er. ‘
| BLIND STAGGERS,
~ Mr. John W. Allgood, one of our oldest
and best citizens, gives us the following
remedy for blind staggers in horses, which
‘he says he has tried repeatedly and it al
ways gives relief and cures in three hours
time. He says, pour a table-spoonful of
liquid camphor in each ear of the animal
and tiea cord around the ear so that the
horse or mule can't shake out the camphor.
This is a very simple remedy and one which
should be tried. We hear of quite & num
ber of mules and horses dying recently in
this county from this disease. This remedy
has also been tested with hogs and cows
with the same good results, .

the Japanese. Every character of the opera
was represented. Among the large number
in attendance were visitors from every part
of the country who are spending the winter

OUGHT NOT.
P. D. Armour, the great specula
tor, is quoted by a dispatch from
Chicago as saying the other day that
“the supply of wheat is virtually held
by three men, who bought it in at
low prices, and propose to hold on to
it; that he expects an advance of 20
cents, and that the conditions are
now as they were several years ago,
when he mace $3,000,000 in wheat
speculations.” Ought the laws of the
land to permit three men thus to
monopolize and control the prices of
the bread upon which fitty millions of
people live? We think not.
SHOT AT.
At Elberton, Friday night some
one approached James Algood’s house
in the lower part of Elbert county,
and made a noise that attracted Mr.
Algood’s attention and he went to
the door. As he went to the door
some one from outside fired both bar
rels of a double-barreled shotgun at
him. Fortunately only shot struck
him, and thatin the mouth, knock
ing out some of his teeth. Both
loads entered the door facing, right
by the side of his head. The party
firing the shot ran off and Mr. Al
good could not see who it was, but he
suspects a young man with whom he
has had a difficulty. The young man
is reported to be missing.
FOUR-HANDED.
A child born in the family of John
Gurling, of Long Island City, New
York, on Thursday, has four hands.
The child is a boy, and to all appear
ances is pertectly healthy. Every

ceptions of the right arm, which has
three hands. attached to -it. From
the shoulder to the wrist the arm is
double, having two bones in the up
per arm and four bones in the lower.
Two of the hands joined te it are ful
ly developed, although but one of
them is normal. The undeveloped
hand is between the other two and
has four fingers, but no thumb. The
fingers are kept tightly clinched,
there being no muscles to extend
them. The inner of thejtwo develop
ed hands is the opposite -of the hand
on the lett. The third hand has four
fingers and a thumb developed, and
has two extra rudimentary fingers.
An End to Bone Scraping.
Edward Shepherd, of Harrisburg, #il.,
says: "“Having received so much fieneflt
from Electricgflitwrs, I feel it -mfi duty to
let suffering humanity know it. Have had
a running sore on my leg for eight years;
my doctors told me { would have to have
the bone scraped or leg amputated. I used,
instead, three bottles of Electric Bitters and
seven boxes Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and
my leg is now sound and well.” .
Electrie Bitters are sold at fifty cents a

' FOUR HOURS SLEEP A WEEK.
Henry Johnson, says the Oroville
(Neb.) Register, is a stout, robust
young fellow of 20 or 21, and, except
being of a restless or nervous dispo
sition, there is nothing unusual about
him. Some four years ago the young
mar. found that he wasable to do
with much less sleep than other
young men of his acquaintance. He
could stay up all night ata dance
and not feel the loss of sleep the next
day, or he could read till a late hour
and not feel sleepy the next morning.
His need for sleep decreased so much
that he began to number his hours
ot actual wakefulness during each
week. For the last three months of
1883 he was awake ninateen hours a
day, while by April, 1884, he was
sleeping less than four hours each
night. His health was good, and so
he thought little about not sleeping
a 8 much as formerly. During the
summer and fall of that year he slept
less than three hours each night, but
one day his attention was caught by
an article in the Sacramento Bee,
where it stated that loss of sleep
would cause insanity. He then be
gan to eat heartily, and would drink
halt a glass of porter before going to
bed. This made no difference about
his sleeping, so he concluded that he
was an exception to the rule and paid
no further attention to his wakeful
ness until the summer of the present
year, when he found that he was on
ly sleeping four or five hours in the‘
week.
l He came to Oroville one day and
had a talk with Dr. T. W. Service
|about bimself. The doctor saw that
'he was in good health and deemed
that it would be inadvisable to induce
sleep by the use of narcotics.

I COLLEGE MEN IN POLITICS.
From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Those who insist upon the value
and necessity of collegiate influence
in our politics can find but little com
fort in the contemplation of the pres
ent facts in that connection. The
President of the United States, Gro
ver Cleveland, never attend a college
of any kind. The acting Vice-Pres
ident, John Sherman, is a graduate
of the common schools of Ohio. The
Secretary of State, Thomas F. Bay
’ard, never got further than a Dela
‘ware ‘rural academy. The Speakeri
iof the House of Representatives,
John G. Carlisle, is a selt-educated;
man. Of the entire seventy-four
‘members of the Senate only thirty
are graduates of colleges, and of these
thirty only twelve hold diplomas
from institutions of national reputa
tion. In the House the ratio of col
lege training is less than one to four,
and the collegians are by no means
the stromgest, most influential men
of the body—a statement which also
applies to the relative standing and
power of the two classes in the Sen
ate. The party leaders on both sides
in both branches of Congress are
nearly all men whose educational
privileges, in the strict sense of the
expression, were confined to the or-'
dinary country or village school.
A chimpanzee got loose in a St
Paul museum when no one was about,
and immediately proceeded to open
all the bird cages and let out his fel
low curiosities. He had nothing but
fun till he opened the snake box, and
one ot the reptiles fastened on his
tail. The snake held fast and the
monkey ran down stairs and over and
under everything, till he finally flung
his arms around a colored girl whom
he met at the door. This diversion
enabled the keeper to get control of
his pets, but the colored girl’s wool
has turned gray.
