A telegram received In Sarauuali Mon
day brought the and intelligence of the
death by drowning in the Ocmulgee river
of Mr. Wnt. lioceman, of i’uloaki county.
The unfortunate accident occurred wliilat
he was on hi* way in n boat from Haw
kinaville to Ids plantation, which I* loca

lu England they have workingmen*

certain measure of popularity. Ofc ,l,rgc
they cannot compete with the iflatifold

There is a great deal talking of fomijog
anew State, to bo called
out of Western North Carolina, Kaaten
Tennessee and Southwestern Vlrgiifij
•with the capital at Knoxville or Chattu
nooga. The territory thus described con
sists almost wholly of mountain land, and
the now State would be the Switzerland of
America. It would also bo immensely
rich iu mineral deposits. Another pro
ject relates to Georgia aud South Car
olina, and is the annexation of Pickens
and Oconee counties, South Carolina, to
Georgia. It is said that a commission will
be appointed by Governor Moses, of the
former State, aud Governor Smith, of the
latter, to determine, if possible, some basis
of anuexatiou.
Now there is something wrong about
this. Some Oakes Ames' sort of Con
gressmen is after a big spec. Now that
Credit Mobillcr is dead something must
be done to raise the wind. We think thus
because neither of these schemes can ever
take practical shape. Geographical con
sideration has lillle to do with State boun
daries. If they had, cither Delaware
would have a claim on our Eastern Shore,
or it would be to tbe manifest advantage
of Maryland to swallow up tbe little State
of Delaware totally, and also that tempt
ing slice of Virginia soil which lies across
the bay, aud so settle the boundry dis
pute.

Ska Sic*. —The Baltimore A mericAh, in
giving a variety of hints to persons about U>
go on the briny deep, has this to ssy about
that sickness of sli sicknesses, and also a
good relief for the same
Sea sickness is the most humbling of ail
human alflictlons. It takes the starch out
of humanity, and brings all down to a
common level witli a facility that is truly
surprising. We hsve seen ladies come on
board ship in perfection of toilet, who
would faint if a curl was disarranged.
Twenty four hours after they were rolled
up in blankets, lying upon the deck, hav
ing crawled up from their staterooms only
half dressed, without taking time to ar
range their hair, and perhaps leaving the
best part of it below. All pride of per
sonal appearance is gone, aud they have
not energy enough left to move out
of the way of Ilia sailors who step
over them with the log-lln*. Htrong and
benrty insu are often similarly afliicttd,
and on one occasion we remember to have
seen a newly married couple, just starting
on their wedding tour, two of the most
miserable aud abject creatures in the world
sprawled out upon the deck, peifectly in
different to each other’s comfort. Tlier#
is much truth in the exclamation of lbs
old Methodist parson that lie was alraid on
the first day he would die, and afraid the
second day would uot die. ll is a mistake
however, to suppose that no one sympa
thises with the sea sick passenger. They
receive the kindest attention from the old
sen dogs, who are jollies! when the weath
er is roughest, and get the blues iu a calm
sea.
A supply of good lemons should slways
be takeu to sea. as there is nothing so re
freshing In times of nausea as a lemonade
Preserved prunes are also pulatuhle, hut it
is a great mistake to suppose that brandy,
champague, or any kind of stimulating or
inalt liquors will give the slightest relief.
Lemonade furnished oil shipboard is very
poor stuff 1 , as it is generally made of con
centrated lime juice, hence tho necessity
of having a supply of your own.
A PHYSICAL WONDER.
MICK AND ALLIGATORS IN Tlir. STOMACH
OK A LADY.
From the taxisgton (Ky.) Pres- |
A curious case came to our notice yes
terday, for which wc have tho most relia
able authority, though at first sight it may
seem either like n canard or a jest, de
signed to impose upon some person of su
per-credulity. Our informant, however,
tells us the story iu all seriousness, aud as
sured us Hint lie was prepared to vouch
for its accuracy. We have no hesitation,
therefore, iu setting it afloat on tho ocean
of newspaper commerce aud exchange, iu
order to give the curious and reflective
something upon which to exercise their
mental faculties, and to furnish the faculty,
physiologists and men interested in physi
cal science generally, a marvelous subject
for investigation.
A certain lady residing in Frankfort
has been very sick for some time, and so
very strange were her spmptoms as to
utterly set at naught the skill of the phy
sicians. Hhc suffered from general de
bility, became fi iglitfuily emaciated, and
yet possessed a most verocious appetite,
and people began to account for the latter
phenomena by the old superstitious meth
od of assigning the cause to the possession
of an “eating wolf.” The mystery was
solved a few days ago, however, when,
after u sick spell aud a violent fit of retch
ing, she ejected from her stomach n mouse
(dead,) aud shortly afterward a living nlli
gator, of “small dimensions. Some of the
physicians have expressed an opinion that
there are more of these auimals remaining
iu tiie lady's stomach, and that they arc
being constantly generated there. But ns
to ltow they had their origin there we
have not heard Unit any one has ventured
to risk an assertion or explanation. Per
haps some girlies who are investigating
Huxley's protoplasm aud the Darwinian
theory of the origin of animal life may be
able to throw some intelligent light ou the
matter. We should be glad to receive
some correspondence on this subject from
any of our able students of nature aud
nature's laws.

Bi.ce Color ok thk Sky.—M. Col I as,
of Paris comments in Let Morula of De
cember 12th on M. A. Lnilematide's
paper on the blue color of the atmosphere,
in which it was attributed to a change of
1 refrangibility due to a partial absorption
|of the chemical or ultra violet rays. In
1 1870 M. Collas, in au article in Let Mon
ffer,attributed the blue color of the Lake of
Geneva and other waters to the quantity
ofsilex held iu solution, which is brought
: down by Uic tributary streams from the
; strata through which they pass. Numer
j ous observations since have induced him
to believe that the blue color of nil the
'water of (lie globe is due to the same
cause. The air every where always con
tains more or less of moisture due to evap
; oration from the water of the earth ; the
water thus evaporated always coutaius a
! greater or less quantity of extremely line
insoluble particles. Sitex, says M. Collas.
is one of the most common insoluble sub
stances in nature, aud, through evapora
tion, performs the same function in the
blue that he believes it does in the blue
waters of the earth. He believes his
theory is continued by the intense blue of
southern skies, where evaporation is so
much greater than in the colder north. <
Flowers in the Track or War
There is something singular and qnlte
romantic to those sober folks, the bota
uists, in tbs fact that the track of the
Prussian armies in France, tlieir camping
grounds, the siege lines aud bivouack are
marked with flowers, not the familiar flow
ers of France, but of tbe Fatherland. Even
around Paris is this phenomenon appar
ent. Hundreds of flowers, unknown hith
erto to the soil, but dear to the German
heart, so that the Prussian army, formerly
tracked by bloody fields, wrecked ambu
lances, and all tbe horror and confusion of
war, can now be followed by the strange
flower blooming iu the lanes and fields
and the borders of tbe vineyards.
Journalistic Change. —lion. Alex
ander 11. Stephens, on yesterday, sold out
the Sun newspaper to a cempany com
posed ot Messrs. C. 11. C. Willingham, W.
A. Moore, Pascal J. Moran and Samuel
Echols. These gentlemen have been con
ducting the Sun as editors and managers
under Mr. Stephen's ownership, and we
may anticipate that there will be no deci
ded change in it* policy. We are not
advised whether or not Mr. Stephens will
retain his connection with the establish
ment. At any rate we wish the new Arm
a hearty and abiding success. —llerald
A project is on foot among numerous
New York ladies for forming an insurance
cdtfipany having only women for officers,
agents and policy holders. Tho wives of
euiiuent merchants and financiers, several
well-known literary ladies, and some of
the foremost names in general society, are
already on the list of those deeply inter
ested. They have matured their plans
with care, and a circular will be issued in
viting the co operation of women through
out the country, and subscriptions to the
capiful stock of a “ mixed” company, but
one in which all the profits, beyond legal
interest ou the capital, are to be returned
to the policy-holders. By employing wo
men ns agents and cleiks, and allowing
low commissions, uot to exceed five per
cent., they expect to make large savings
above any company now existing.
