A Massachusetts man who recent
1y died willed his horse, his cow, his
cat, and his fowls to the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani
mals, and also $2,000, stipulating
that the society should tenderly care
for the animals as long as they lived.

were incorrect. ‘

T'he Doaglasville Star speaking of
the coal find on Sweetwater creek,
says: Not having seen the coal our
selves, we are not prepared to say
what is there and we wait develop- ‘
ments. We trust that it may turn
out to be a valuable bed. But since
this excitement has begun we have
talked to threg different men, who
say that they can show the out crop
ing coal in several places on Sweet
water creek. One of them told us he
could go tp a spot rot eight miles
from Douglasville, and get a wagon
load of coal in an hour by digging it
out of the ground. We are not at
liberty at present to give the names
of these gentlemen, but they are re
sponsible men, and are considered
yeliable in all things,
The state of affairs in the drought
stricken section of Texas is deplora
ble. Many of the farmers have been
compelled to seck homes in more
favored parts of the State. Many
have been forced to seek work on the
railroads, while others have gone in
to the fields and are working side by
side with negroes at 23¢ a day. Oth
ers still must be supported by the
charitable until they can plant and
cultivate their crops. On every hand
the greatest want and suffering pre
vail. Texas is, in some respects, an
unfortunate State. Scarcely a year
passes but that one or more sections
of it suffer from drought or some oth
er evil. In Georgia, while the sea
sons are sometimes bad and the crope
are not always good, there is never
any widespread want or suffering.
With proper attention to his business
the Georgia farmer may always make
a good living. Nevertheless, there
is a constant exodus from Georgia to
Texas, and in many instances valua
ble citizens are thus lost to the State.
CAUSE AND EFFECT,
Here is a shoe shop. One man in
the shop is always busy during the
day, always industrious. There are
five other men in the shop who don’t
do any such thing. They spend half
of their working hours in loafing and
their working evenings in dissipation.
The first young man by and by cuts
out from these others, and gets a
boot and shoe store of his own. The
five luborers, his former companions,
retire to a neighboring saloon and
pass a resolution that there is an
eternal struggle between labor and
capitaI.—INGERSOLL.
ANOTHER LULU HURNST.
The Cumming Clarion is informed
by Mr. S. Terry, who spent last week
in Butford, on the Air Line Railroad,
of a case which rivals the celebrated
Lulu Hurst. He, in company with a
well-known minister of that place,
visited the home of a little girl nine
years old, and who is rather under
sized. They had heard of the child’s
powers and desired to put them to
test. Mr. Terry saw the child lay
one hand on the top of a table and
move around the room with it as
though it were a mere playthiug. An
ordinary child of that age could hard
ly have moved the table at all. M.
Terry, who is quite muscular, then‘
took hold of a stout stick, grasping it
at bath ends; the child placed her
hands on the stick in the middle,
and before he knew it the stick was
wrenched out of his grasp. The ex
periment was tried the second time,
Mr. Terry exerting his whole strength
to hold it, with the same result. A
door, which fastened with a button,
was then closed and a persan placed
outside to push against it. By sim
ply placing her hands on the door
the button gradually moved until the
door was unfastened. It issaid that
when she touches the wall that a
‘person placing his ear against the op
‘posite side can hear a clinking sound
resembling the noise made by a tele
graph instrument. It is stated, and
can be proven, that small stones fre
quently fall in showers around her
while she is in the hguse. No one
can tell where they come from. Also,
that in whatever part of the room
she isina popping sound is heard
apparently in the wood. These are
only a tew of the, facts the child is
able to perform. She has bad health
and is not considcred bright, but
there can be no sort ot doubt as to
her powers.
A SENSIBLE HORSE.
A correspondent of the New Or
leans Picayunc writes: A lady be
nevolent to brutes observed from her
gate one day a wmiserable horse, with
the shoulder raw and bleeding, at
tempting to graze on an open spot
adjacent; having by means of some
bread coaxed the poor animal to the
gate, she then managed, with some
assistance, to cover the wound with
adhesive plaster spread on a piece of
soft leather. The man to whom the
animal belonged (one of those ignor
ant and careless beings who are in
difterent to the sufferings of any but
themselves) shortly afterward led the
horse away. The next day, however,
the horse made his appearance again
at the gate, over which he put his
head and gently neighed. On look
ing at him it was found that the plas
ter was removed. éither by the ani
mal’s master or by the rubbing of the
ill-made collar in which he worked.
The plaster was renewed. ‘the third
day he appeard again, requiring the
same attention, which he solicted in
a similar manner. After this the
plaster was allowed to remain and
the horse recovered; but ever atter,
whenever it saw its benefactress, it
would immediately approach her, und
by voice and action testify its sense
lof her kindness and notice.
MANUFACTUREN,
The Cincinnati Enquirer shows
the direction in which the South
should progress :
“As soon as the South has got
something to haul all the year round,
it will be to the interest of the rail
roads to reach out mgre and more for
it, Hitherto the hauling out of cot
ton has bcen almost the only thing
to be depended upon as a return
freight from the South, and this cot
ton naturally got by the gnickest
route to the seaboard, so that it could
be put on ship and sent to its desti
nation. Ilence the railroads leading
North and East for much of the year
were hard up for something to do.
They carried in a good deal of pork
and salve stuff, and breadstuffs as well
to feed the people an the plantations,
but this bore no comparison with the
enormous exchange going on between
the seaboard and the great West,
where populous cities with rising
Western systems were sending east
ward more than the East could return
to them. Lumber and furniture,
ores, coke, beef, grain, and no end of
things have been going and coming
before and since the war on the
Northern zone,
The manufacturing system in the
South is the real cause of the present
activity in railroads, and the princi
yle excuse tor so much time on the
&'ew York Stock Exchange being
taken up in these almost forgotten
securities. The cheapness fuel, la
bor and iron ore in that great region
for which Grant, Sherman, Mitchell
and Thomas fought have attracted
‘men who know how to make money
out of such things, and where the
manufacturers go the railroad spirit
l hastens to attend.
A REMARKABLE LAW SUIT.
One of the most remarkble law
suits on record is that of Mary Bryne
against the New York Central rail
road. In 1870 Mary, then 10 years
of age, while crossing an alley in
Troy, N. Y., was run over by the
New York Central road, and one of
her legs was so badly crushed that it
had to be amputated above the knee
fon two oceasions. Of course she was
made a cripple for life. She sued
through her guardian for damages.
The case has been tried four times
in the Circuit Court in Troy, and
seven appeals to the General Term
and to the Court of Appeals have
been taken by the unsuccesstul party
for the time bsing. On the first trial
the jury gave the little girl $4,000
damages. This was set aside by the
General Term, which held that the
girl was guilty of contributory negli
gence, and hence could not recover
anything. ler counsel then took
their way to the Court of Appeals,
and court granted a new trial, hold
ing that the girl’s negligence, it any,
must be submitted to the jury. On
the new trial, in 1875, the jury gave
the girl 86,000 damages. On appeal
!from this judgment the Court of
Appeals set it aside on the sole
ground that the place where the ac
cident occurred was not a publie and
traveled highway, so as to impose
‘the statutory duty on the railroad of
ringing the bell or hlowing the whis
tle on approaching it. On the fourth
trial, in 1885, the case was tried on
that theory, the plaintiff's counsel
insisting that, although the place of
the accident was nota publicand trav
eled highway, yet it was a place where
a large number of people were accus
tomed to cross daily, and therefore
the railroad company was bound to
take at leastordinary care while run
ning through a populous part of the
city. The jury gave a verdict on
this fourth trial of $7,500. This view
was sustained by the Cowrt of Ap
peals on this last appeal. So the
case finally ends, aftersseventeen
years of legal warfare. The cost to
the detendant, including interest,
extra allowance and court charges, is
nearly $20,000.
THE EXPERIENCE OF A COLORED
MAN WHO MADE s£lo,ooo,
Chattanooga Times.
A few days since a well-known ne
gro man, who was the fortunate
possessor of a fine lot on one of the
leading resident streets of the city,
sold his property for $lO,OOO cash.
He was given a check for that amount
which was carried in due time to one
ot the banks. The paying teller ask
ed the negro how much of the mouney
he wanted in cash,
“] wants all that ’ar paper calls
fur,” replied the negro.
“What? You don’t want $lO,OOO
in cash 77
“Jesso, sah.”
“All right,” answered the man who
shufiles the bank bills, and in five
minutes he began piling the woney
on the counter. As he laid the $5OO
'packages on the counter the negro’s
eyes began to grow larger and larg
er, and finally when twenty of the
vackages were placed before him his
eyes looked as large as new moons.
The negro looked intently at the
stack of money for a moment and
then, with a broad grin on his tace,
said :
“I’se jist pavalyzed, boss; gimme
$1.60 and you kin keep de rest of
that till I call agin.”
WiuEere GENIUS 18 ADMIRED.—A
stranger who had just arrived at a
country hotel in Arkansaw, became
involved in a hot discussion with the
clerk. Finally the stranger, striking
the vough pine counter with his fist,
exclaimed :
“You are the biggest liar in Ar
kansaw !”
The clerk, instead ot becoming of
fended, said:
“Let me see you a minute, please.”
He drew the stranger aside and re
marked :
“Who told you "
“Who told me what ¥’
“That I am the biggest liar in the
State.”
“No one.”
“Then how did you find it out ”
“l knew it at a glance.’s
“My friend,” said the clerk affec
tionately placing one hand on the
stranger’s shoulder, “you are the
sharpest man 1 ever saw. It took
me some time to find it out, but I am
the biggest liar in the State. If you
were as good a judge of a horse as
youeare of a man, you could soon get
rich in this country. Stay at our
house as long as you please, and your
board shall not cost you a cent. You
will not a find a place in this country
where genius is admired as much as
it is at this hotel.”

THE SOUTH’S FUTURE.
In a large volume recently issued
by the bureau of statistics at Wash
ington, is to be seen a special report
on the industrial condition, transpor
tation and other facilities of ton
southern states, which report is based
upon facts gathered by experts ap
pointed for the purpose, and con
cludes as follows:
Whatever speculation may be de
duced from the exhibit here made, or
the lessons it may teach our states
men, it will not be questioned that
the reports furnish evidences of re
cuperative energy of material pro
gress and development by the south
ern people unexampled in the histo
ry of our civilization ; in short, that
the new and mightier south is rapid
ly emerging from the blight and des-
olations oi the civil war, and promis
es in a short time to attain a high de
gree of prosperity.
It is a new, a fraternal revolution
waged with the implements of peace
—a revolution against commercial
and industrial vassalaze. It means
life, instead of death ;: power instead
of weakness; progress, instead of re.
trocession ; prosperity, instead of ad
versity; order, instead of anarchy ;
‘indepemlenco, instead of slavish re
liance upon others tor food and ¢loth
ing, and the machinery of a revivified
and progressive agriculture. See
tionalism is dead, and the south has
a great future. * * *The north is rich
in cgpital ; the south is undeveloped
resources—lands, coal, iron, timber,
water power, a genial climate. * *
* % The issues are these: Shall we
longer permit northern manufactor
ries, at ruinous drafts upon our de
pleted exchequers, to manufacture
our vaw materials for us, we trans
porting them long distances to their
mills, and then their fabries back
again to the south, or shall we manu
facture ourselves with the material at
our own doors? Is it not possible
for us, favored by a hetter, because
less rigorous, climate, and with labor
ers more docile and less liable to
strikes, to mannfacutre our own cot
ton along side the fields which pro
duce it? Can we not stretch forth
the hand of enterprise and success
fully compete with those who, be
cause of our exclusive attention to

HER LOVER’S APPARITION.
A singular story came to light in
New HavenyConn., the other day,
involving the late Dr. Luther J.
Martin, who died in a Brooklyn hos
pital recently. Dr. Martin was a
Yale graduate, and had just obtained
a position at the head of the staff of
the hospital when he died. Ile was
a very popular young man in society
and was attentive to an estimable
young lady of New London. A few
days previous to his illness he had
written her, and she supposed him in
the best of health. When he was
taken sick he failed so rapidly that
Le was not able to write to her. His
sickness lasted but a few days.
On the night of hisdeath the young
lady was startled iu her sleep by see
ing the form of Dr. Martin cross the
room, moving toward her couch. At
the foot of the bed it stopped and re
garded her for a moment silently,
but pleasantly, and then it moved to
ward the head of the couch and plac
‘ed one of its hands caressingly upon
her shoulder. 1t stood in this atti
tude for a moment and then vanish
ed. At the breakfast table she rela
ted the occurrence, remarking: “I
believe there is something the matter
with Lute.”” Half an hour later a
telegram was received announcing
the death of Dr. Martin at 4 o'clock
that morning, the precise time at
which the apparition visited the
young lady’s beside.
