MARIETTA GA.,
THURSDAY MORNING. MARCH 9, 1893.
General Beaureguard died worth
82,000,000,
“Take sowething with me,” sa’l
one laboring man to another, head
ing him towards a saloon. “Take
something from your wife and chil
dren, you mean,” replied the other,
and the first man blushed and look
ed ashamed. ,

She—Dearest, do you believe there
is luck in odd numbers?
¥ Ile—l'm sbure I don’t know.
dear ? :
. She—Well, this is the third time
we have been engaged to each other,
vou know, and I thought possibly
we might marry (his time,
: A sRS
» A marriage took place at El Reno
Tex., a short time ago that borders
.on the rowantic. A woman who
was divorced from her. husband some
years ago was stopping at a boards
ing house in tnat city with her chil
dren. lHer funds finally became ex
'hausted, and her land<ady, learning
,the whereabouts of the woman's ex
husband, wrote him and acquainted
him with the circumstances, and he
. immediately came to the rescue; a
‘reconciliation followed and the cou
ple were remarried and at once left
{or their old home.
. Minerax Springs, 0., comes to thel
front with a monstresity. The head
ot the child, if such it can be cailed,
resembles a rhinoceros, and is of |
goft cartilage and almost transpar
ent. By close observation the bleod
~can be traced. “The least touch will
cause the child to open its mouth
and make a noise like an enraged
‘animal. A triangular mark ot blue
color extends entirely across its
forehead. The case is vouched for
by Dr. Connor, N. W. Cross and E.
,W. Johnson of Mineral Springs. ‘
The freak consumes about three
quaris of milk daily. The child be
longs to a family named Die, resid
ing near Blue Creek, in this county.
Its left eye is black, while the right
eye isa deep blue. Its hair from
its nose back to the right side is
light and fine, while the opposite is
coarse and black. The le}; hand
and foot resemble the claws ot an
animal. It makes short barks like
a dog.
EXPLORING AN ELEPHANT’S STOM
ACH.
While his menagerie was in win
ter quarters at Bridgeport, Conn.,
P.T. Barnum was informed one day
that Beta, the prize trick elephant,
was ailing. The symptoms were
those of acute indigestion, and as an
iron bar was missing from her stall
it was surmised that she had wrench
ed it oft and swallowed it.
Attached to the hotel was a small
colored boy who went by the name
of Nigger Joe. He was but little
larger than a full grown possum,
and P. T. sent for him and explain
ed to him that he must take a rub
ber tube in his mouth to breath
thr.ough and with a rope around his
walst must go «“own into the eles
phant’s stomach and get out that
bar of iron.
Joe was anointed with a pound of
vaseline, and Beta being safely
gagged he was gently pushed down
the giact esophagus head first, a
smooth stick well oiled landing him
at the bottom. According to ins
structions, the boy soon gave gave
three tuge at the rope to be pulled
out again, and sure enough, tighti
clasped in Joe’s hanis was the og
fending and indigestibie iron bar.
It is needless to say that Beta’s life
was saved and that Nigger Joe was
handsomely rewarded for his cure of
the valuable elephant’s indigestion.
E TCLD BY DETECTIVE DRUMMOND,
i How He Protected Dascomb from a Green
‘ Goods Man e Could Not Arrest.
Chief Drummond, of the United
States ireasnry secret service, tells a
gOO4 siory. A man named Bascomb
came up from Tennessee. He had
received a green goods circular and
had determined to trap the swindlers.
Drummond was detailed to go with
him. :
“lI put on a flannel shirt,” says
Drummond, *‘an old pair of trousers,
a rough pair of shoes and a soft hat
and followed Bascomb to the meet
ing place. He was accosted by a
man who took him intoa building. I
followed and stood upon a stairway
- where I could watch the door leading
into the office of the swindlers. After
awhile the door opened and Fowkr,
a noted green goods man who Was
then employed by the Davis brothers,
stepped half way into the hall. He
had a valise in his hand and was
neither in the office nor out of it, but
stood in the door. Basecomb had his
eyeon Fowler all the time, as I after
ward learned. While Fowler was in
the door a colored boy darted across
the hall with a valise in his hand.
The exchange was made so deftly
that Bascomb didn’t see it. |
“Inaminute Bascomb came outand
he and Fowler started for an express
office. I followed: They took astage
and I took one too. Their stago ‘
stopped quite often, but mine didn't,
and at times I found I was abreast of
them. Fearing that Fowler might
recognize me, I would lie down flat
upon the floor of my stage whenever
I got near the one I was following.
The passengers were amazed, and
thought, I suppose, that I was an
escaped lunatic. Fowler and Bas
comb left their stage near the Adams
express office and I alighted from
mine. Just as Fowler was in the act
of handing the valise to the receiving l
clerk I tapped him on the shoulder
and told him that I wanted him, and
‘that, too,” pointing to the bag.
“Bascomb was delighted. ‘l've got
bim! I've got him? said he. ‘The 1
valise,” ho continued, ‘is full of coun
terfeit money.’ ‘ 1
“ My friend,’ I replied, ‘they grow
smart men in Tennessee, but there }
are smarter ones in New. York.’ |
“Then Fowler put in: ‘Look here,’
said he to me, ‘let the jay have the
valise. If you do I am a century
ahead and you will get fifty cases.’”
“What did he mean by that?” asked
Drummond.
‘“He meant that the Davises were
to pay him $lOO for the part he had
taken in the swindle, and that they
would give me $5O if I didn’t inter
fore.”
“Iled Fowler and Bascomb into a
hallway next to the express office,”
continued Drummond, ‘‘and cutopen
the valise. It was filled with damp
paper and a block of wood. ‘l'll be
teetotally goldarned,’ said Bascomb.
‘How difl youdoit? he asked Fowler.”
- “And youarrested Fowler#® said 1.
- “No. I let him go,” Drummond
replied. “There wasn't a point to
“be made against him under the law.
There was no counterfeit money in
the bag. On the other hand, Fowler
could have had me arrested for high
way robbery, but of course he didn't.
He was glad enough to make his es
cape.”
“And Bascomb?”
“Oh, he returned to Tennessee
with his comb cut.” — Cleveland
Leader.
A Fortunate People.
The American people are descended
from, economically, the most effect
ive race in the world. They settled
in the States, taking with them a
highly developed civilization and
habits of law and order confirmed
through many generations. They
have half a continent at their com
mand,” thero is even yet a vast
amount of unoccupied soil, there is
diversified climate, there are re
sources almost limitless, and there is
absolutely no enemy they have cause
to fear. Excepttomaintain internal
order they are free at this moment to
disband their army and navy, certain
that no foreign foe will attack them.
The world has never seen a peopleso
happil{ circumstanced, with such
marvelous opportunities for progress
and improvement.—London Statist.
Little English Classics.
“Did you set her” .
*She wouldn’t set.”
“Why didn’t you put her head in
the clamp?”
*She flew off.”
“Well, we must get her the next
time. If you'll coax her to setl'll
catch her when she isn’t looking.”
It was not a hen they were talking
about. The conversation took place
in a photograph gallery between the
operator and his chief, and it con
cerned a balky customer who would
not get her picture taken.—Detroit
Free Press.
Geese in South America.
Ducks swim the world over, but
geese do not. In South America a
domestic species is found that cannot
excel an ordinary hen in aquatic ac
complishments. It has lived so long
in a country where water is only
found in wells that it has lost its
aquatio tastes and abilities entirely.

; Cork Soled Shoes.
. The popularity of cork soled shoes
is on the increase, and the so called
lcork is being manufactured in large
‘quantities, the substance being pro
'duced in long rolls and lengths, and
sold thus to the trade. The only
peculiarity about the fashion is why
the material is called cork. Certain
ly it is far more valuable for its pur
pose than cork itself could possibly
be, and this i 8 one of the cases in
which the imitation is far superior to
the original. Some mnew and more
appropriate name issure to be adopt
ed before long, but not until the de
mand for cork soled shoes, so called,
decreases. The shoes of this type
were in great demand, even when
they were both costly and clumsy,
and the avoidance of both these
drawbacks has paved the way for an
apparently long lived career of pop
ularity. Every one who wears them
has his own reasons for so doing,
some thinking they increase the tem
perature of the feet and some hold
ing exaetly the contrary, but the
fashion has been established, and
that is practically all that is neces
sary.—Exchange.
A Monstrous Spider.
Mygale avicularia is asmonstrous
spider, with a body two inches long
and legs, when expanded, reaching
to seven, who kills small birds and
hangs them up in a larder of thick
web for future use. This robber car
ries on his murderous trade with
cunning dexterity, for which the poor
finches are no match. His huge
brownish body being thickly covered
with coarse gray hairs and exactly
matching in color the trunk of the
tree, in some rough crevice of which
helurks unseen, he is ready to pounce
out at a moment's notice upon his
hapless prey when once entangled in
the fatal web,
Another monster of thesame genus,
“five inches in expanse,” of a brown
tint with yellowish lines on his thick
hairy legs, is equally rapacious; but,
carrying on his depredations only at
the door of his den in the brown
earth, needs no protecting color, as
he comes out only at mnight when all
about him is in shadow.—Nineteenth
Century.
About Lifting the Hat.
There are certain courtesies gen
erally paid by mien to women that
long usage hasled usto take as a
matter of course. One of these is
that of raising the hat. There is no
question but that this is a graceful
and becoming act for any man, what
ever his age or station may be, or
whoever the woman is to whom he
pays the little mark of deference.
At the same time many men do not
follow the custom, and the omission
is not necessarily to be attributed to
ignorance nor to a lack of respect for
women, especially if the man is past
middle age. v
Most men who are bald are obliged
to be careful about exposing the head
to a draft, and for that reason avoid
taking off the hat out of doors. Of
course there are times and places
when they could do it without dan
ger, but it would hardly do to vary
the rule to suit the weather.—Man
chester Union.
A Dissertation on Hamlet,
One of Miss A. C. Graham’s schol
ars, according to her article in The
University Correspondent, wrote the
following:
Hamlet was weakminded. Fond
of study. But was too weak to fulfil
his duty which the Ghost had told
him. He was very good to his
mother. He profains maduess, he
really only put it on but some people
say he was mad. One day when he
was fighting the king asked him if he
Wwould have something to drink & he
had put poison in it & Hamlet said
he would wait the Queen took it &
then she falls down dead Hamlet im
mediately stabs his father & drinks
the poisin and dies.
Moderation In Exercise.
We may well rejoice that the day
has vanished when a pale face, dull
eyes and a week chest were thesigns
of knowledge, but we will do well to
guard against the other extremes
which regard physical culture as
the most important thing in life.
The young people who attend our in
stitutions of learning should be en
couraged to take plenty of physical
exercise. Their inclination toward
outdoor games should not be frowned
upon, but they should be held to
moderation and to Such a wise divi
sion of their time as will enable them
to devote proper attention to their
l stu;lies.—Altoona Tribune.
The Age of Turtles.
The age of turtles, like the age of
some excellent women, will never be
known. In many parts of the coun
try boys cut their initials on the shell
of the tortoise, with the date, and
then watch for them in later years.
At Hatboro, in Pennsylvania, one
was found with “L. W. 1833,” cut on
the shell. Mr. Levi Walton,who cut
the lettering, is still living, but the
slow going turtle will probably outdo
him in the race of lifo.—~Meehan's
Monthly.
? Irrigation In Colorado,
There are 5,000,000 acres of land in
Colorado subject to irrigation, but
only two-fifths are under cultivation
as yet. About 26,700 acres are in
fruit, and 7,900 will be added very
soon. Water is conveyed through
12,000 miles of ditches.—Boston Tran
script.
