Ziuk Hargrove, in making a speech at

Ms. Newton Kinnxbbew, a well known

The Cochran Observer says on last Mon

at that plaCe, drank nearly a pint of bit
ters composed of peach brandy and cherry
tree and dogwood bitters, and was so com
pletely paralyzed that he died in a few
hours.
The Hawkinsville Dispatch accepts the
aiinetion in the following manly words:
As for Gen. Cook, we entertain for him
ths highest respect—personally and po*
litioxlly. We believe he is tine to his
people and to .the South; that he is a
man of inc&rrnptiole integrity, and that
he has never yet dodged a question in
Congress when patriotism demanded his
aervioEB, or his conscience dictated a
course to be pursued.
General Cook is the only man living
opon the other side of Flint river who has
any strength; in the wiregrass counties, or
oonld carry taem In a nomination or an
oleotion. He has again been chcsen as
the standard bearer of this district, and
it matters not with us now whose choice
ho has been or may be—we shall v otefor
him.
He wonld no donbt be elected without
aver making a speech between this date
and ins eleotion in November, or even
visiting n single county, bat he has deci
ded to visit every county in the district,
Tee Irwinton Southerner and Appeal
refers to the renomination of Mr. Blount
as follow?:
Wo- »Sks week hoist the name of Hon.
J. H. Blount as our standard bearer in
the coming Congreesional contest. Of
his fitness tor the trust it is unnecessary
for ns to say one word. Our people both
know and appreciate him, as was amply
evidenced by the fact that he wa3 unan
imous iy nominated for re-election, on
the first bail 4, at the convention held in
HiiltfUgcvuie on Wednesday of last week,
Jt.is rarely, the case that any one, in a
district containing so many good men
who are willing to ac:ept a seat in Con
gress as does oars, receives each a com
pliment, and when we take into consid
eration the fact that that it was for a
fourth term, the nnanimoos nomination
of Cclsael Blount is almost without a
parallel. The truth of the matter is,
our district is proud of her representa
tive, kcowing him to be one of the best
mCoiigreas, and meanB to stick to him.

A Steanqe StoBY.—The Buena Vista
Argus tells it as follows:
Mb. Lewis Webb in onr town is very
strangely affected. For several years he
appeared paralyzed in his feet and legs.
For several years he went on orntohes,
but for the lsst eigut has been walking
with a stick. He says he oonld drive
knife through his foot and not feel it;
that when he drives hia foot against any
object he knows it jnstas be knows when
he strikes a stick against a substance, by
the resistance offered only, and not by
feeling. He frequently bliBters his feet
in walking bnt knows nothing of it nntil
the blisters bnrst. He batheB his feet of
ten—sometimes in cold, sometimes in hot
water. He cannot tell by the feelirg in
the feet whether the water is hot or cold.
Thns.be has lived for eight years, some
times walking about and often in bed.
Now tho strange part of the story is that
when a oat touches hiB foot he instantly
feels it. The tonoh a oat egainut bis foot,
whether bare or With eocks od, sends in
stantly prickly sensations all throngh his
foot. He may be blindfolded, but oan in

alight, whether by day or night, expecting
or not expecting the touch.
Dan Sioman, negro, was arrested last
Sunday night at Conyers, charged with
shooting into a train on the Georgia rail»
way on the night of August 10th by which
Gsneral Alexander, superintendent of the
road, narrowly ^escaped being hit. Sig-
man confessed that he did the shooting,
bnt denied that he attempted to take Gen
eral Alexander’s life. He said that he
had been pnt off the accommodation train
that evening when he was going down in
eea his mother at Covington, and thto
when tho night passenger came alonat

he fired into the passenger coach. He
said ho was mad at the time, and “didn’t

Rise in Railway Stccks.—Tho Au
gusta Chronicle, of Thursday, says:
There was an upward turn in Central
and Georgia Railroad stocks yesterday.
Central stock, whioh was last quoted at
551 to 56}, was quoted yesterday from
57} all the way to GO, with some offering
at the flret figures. Advices received
during the day from Savannah stated
that the stock was very firm and held at
60. The advsnoes la Central caused An
gusta and Savannah, (one of the formers
leased lines,)to stiffen in price. The last
quotation was 95; it is now quoted at 97}.
Tho same strong feeling was noticed in
Georgia Railroad stock, in which there
was an advance daring the morning—
small sales being made at a fraotion over
70, with hardly any of the stock on the
market. The advance in these Btocks is
accounted for by the belief that the sea
son has opened very promisingly for
both companies, and that they will do an
unusually heavy business. One ol the
largest stoskholdersof the Georgia Road,
and a gentleman perfectly familiar with
its management, predicts that the stock
will advance to 80 within a comparatively
short period.

The gale which has prevailed the past

undoubtedly done considerable damage,
being accompanied by heavy rains
throughout the entire day yesterday.
f?ho unusually high tides, it is feared,
Aaro caused an overflow of plantations
on the Savannah and Ogeechee Rivers,
and no donbt great loss has beensuffered
by -the nee planters, though at this
writing it is impossible to obtain any
definite information on the subject, and
all is speculation. Yesterday afternoon
several planters, who have plantations on
bo fine of tue Ogeechee, left by the At
lantic and Golf Railroad to look after
their interests. The supposition is that
the plantations on the Savannah and
Back Rivers have suffered most, though
we ertit that fears on the subject may
sot bo realised.
The same paper tells the following:
On the large water oak in Ball street,
west of the Gordon mansion, a white fun
gus has grown, which, according to the
asseittGn of an observing friend, presents
a medallion head of a distinguished cit
izen. Any acquaintance, he says, wonld
recognize at once the perfect likeness.
The Rome Courier pays its respect to
Mr. Stephens in the following tart
words:
Mr. Alexander Hamilton Stephens
makes a pnblio declaration of his devotion
to Dr. Felton. Wo are glad be has done
sopublioiy, as we jure aware of his pro-
olivity in that direction, and all the harm
it any at all, that his anpport of Dr. Fel
ton oonld no the Democracy of thc-Fitnot
ha.4 already been dens, as the faot of his
preference for the parson has been ad
mitted by most of the district. Bnt this
pnblio declaration gives the Demcorats a
chance to ebow the motives and purposes
that nciusts Mr. Stephens in his oonrse;
and his vanity mn3t not allowitself to be
wounded if the people of this district re
ject bis advise, and at the time of rejec
tion fell him that they want nothing from
an apologist for Grant and a eulogist of
Lincoln bat to attend to his own bosi-
aeas.
We find thia in the Rome Courier. It
oconrred at a Felton mass meeting in that
place last Saturday:
Hargrove had taken hia crowd to the
Gbort-houee, where speakers proceeded
to talk.. Up there words were uttered
which are calculated to make the blood
of every Southern man run madly through
his vein;. We beard tho report from
different gentlemen, and thought chat
lair dealing required exactness in the
statement of words uttered by one of
Dr. Fslton’s faithful admirers. We went
to several gentlemen who heard tue
speech of a colored orator, Henry Brown,
and go: tbo following statement, with
their names appended. Be it remem-
hered that M ljor Hargrove was present,
and these gentlemen say that they saw
no sign of dissent from him. Here is the
statement we have from gentlemen who
heard the foul slander upon the women
of the South. We could get other names,
hat deem it unnecessary. Not a single
man to whom the statement was presen
ted, doubted the correctness of the words,
or refused to certify to their truth, sub
stantial)}:
“When the war broke out the Demo
crats told everybody to go to the war,

standing in society in Atlanta, both mar
ried and nnmarned. It is said some men
have “jamped" tho town to avoid arrest
or the avenging bullet. It would appear
that society is generally demoralized.
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun figures up
tho aggregate value of taxable property
in Georgia at $225,221,718 for this.againBt
$235,619,530 last year, showing a de
crease of $10,967,815. The five largest
counties are Falton, Chatham, Rich
mond, Bibb and Muscogee, in the order
named. The only increase is in shipping
($478,200), cotton manufactures ($33,-
273), and corn and cotton held for sale
April 1st ($118,330.)
Referring to Mr. Stephens’ letter fa.
voting the re-eleotion of Dr.Felton, the Au
gusta Chronicle very pertinently remarks]
Oddly enough he pnts the blame for the
present condition of affairs upon the
Ringgold Convention, which body, he
says, should have either nominated Fel
ton, or else offered no opposition to bis
re-election. Tne Ringgold Convention
could not have done either of these
things, for it has been stated and not de
nied that Dr. Felton declared in adranoe
that he wonld have nothing to do with the
Convention. To have nominated him
wonld have been to pnt a premium on
bolting. To have offered no opposition
to his re-eleotion would have been to make
a cowardly surrender to a bolter who de
fied the party organization.
The LaGrange Reporter wants no more
Congressional nominating conventions.
It suggests primary elections, on the
same day thronghont the district, the re

committee, where they can be consoli

Says the Augufti Chronicle: Look out

Of the late storm in and around Savan
nah the Netcs, ol Friday, has the follow,
ing particular?:
The deatrnctivo storm which had been
working up since lost Friday along the
Gulf coast, and culminated at Savannah
on Wednesday in a terrific gale and
heavy rain, entailed, as was expected,
great loss upon the rice planters along
the Savannah, Back and Ogeechee rivers.
The tide, we are informed by some of the
planters, was considerably higher than
than that of September 23, 1874, four
years ago, and ha* had no parallel since
the fearfully destructive gale of Septem-
8,1854, when the rioe interest was nearly
ruined.
Yesterday morning early all the plant
ers left the city for their respective plant
ations to aaoertain the extent of the dam
age and take snoh measures as were nec
essary to save what had been left of their
orop?. They returned last evening with
the Information that soaroely a plantation
In this section had escaped, many of them
being two and thre9 feet under water. In
conversation with several of these gentle
men last night we ascertained that whilst
the individual losses occasioned by the
storm of 1874 were possibly greater, yet
the present disaster is more general, tha
entire rioe interest suffering, and the ag
gregate loss will be heavier.
Oa tho Savannah and Back rivers
there are in all 11,000 acres under lice
cultivation, whilst on the Ogeechee there
are 4,000 acres. The average yield this
season was estimated to be thirty-five
bushels per acre, or 525,000 bushels, and
it is predicted that fully twenty per cent,
of this will be a total loss. This is ex
clusive of the damage done by the break
ing of banks, and the additional labor
necessary to place the plantations in or
der. Tho total .038 it ia estimated by
experienced planters will rather exceed
$300,000.
Tho Pennyworth plantation, nnder cul
tivation by Captain Manigault, is among
the moat seriously damaged. A large
quantity cf rice had been cat, and was in
•noks on tho field. Neatly every partiole
of it ha3 been swept off, and ia a total
lose. Tho entire plantation yesterday
morning resembled a mammoth lake.
The plantations opposite Fort Jaokson
were completely submerged, tho water
extending from the highland on the Car
olina side to the highland on this side,
the river at that point being tally six
miles wide. Mach of the rice which had
been stacked was blown loose by the
strong wind and was washed by the tide
against the oheck dams, or “oarried into
the pices,” as one gentleman remarked.
The plantation of Mr. W. P. Carmichael
also suffered heavily. In fact, as we
have stated, with possibly one or two ex
ceptions, not a plantation on the Savan
nah river, on Back river, or the Ogee
chee, but has been overflowed, among
them the Gibbons’ plantation, Murray
Hill, Brewton Hill, Tne Recess, Deptford,
Ferry plantation, and others.
The estimated loss now may be in
creased should the weather within the
next three or fonr days prove rainy.
Among the heaviest sufferers are Capr.
Manigault, Mr. Jo?. Clay, Mr. Barnwell,
Maj. Huger, Mr. W. P. Carmichael, Capt.
Haskell and Capt. Screven.
Says the LaGrango Reporter: The pa
pers are moving James L. Seward, of

Gainesville Georgian says he is going to

The same paper has the following: A
most distressing accident occurred near
Wynn’s mill lost Sunday night, by which
two young ladies and a gentleman came
near losiDg their lives. A party ot yonng
people in the neighborhood had started
to New Hope Church, to attend the night
service, and when nearly opposite Wynn’s
mill the male attached to the hindmost
buggy (in which were Misses Fannie
Boatwick and Joaie McKibben and Mr.
Henry Boatwick,) became frightened
and started to run. Wild with fright
and wholly unmanageable, the male made
an attempt to pass the buggies ahead,
and in doing so collided with the near
est, the sudden and severe shock upset
ting the buggy, and throwing its
occupants violently to the ground—ex
cept Uis3 McKibbsn, who became entan
gled in the reins somehow and was drag
ged a distance of thirty yards, over the
roughest road, before she oonld be releas
ed. When picked np. Miss Bostwiok
was insensible, while Miss McKibben was
found to have sustained serious internal
injuries, from whioh she has been coffer
ing intensely ever slnoe. Mr. Boatwick
also received injuries about the head and
face. Drs. Wynn and Peck were sent
for as soon as possible, and all that med
ical skill oonld suggest was done for the
relief of the snfferers, bnt at last aooonnts
Miss McKibben was not expeoted to live.
Miss Bostwick is also in a precarious con
dition, but hopes are entertained of her
ultimate reoovery. Mr. Bostwiok’s injur
ies were slight.

We cheerfully give onr Hancock
friends the benefit of the following which
is found in the Sparta Times and Planter.
It refers to the aeconnt printed in onr
local columns, a day or two since, of the
occurrences that resulted so fatally to
some of Deputy Marshal Lumsden’s
posse:
The Teleobafb or its informant does
our county a great injustice by some of
these statements. The section of the
county in which this affair happened, is a
small neck, running out into Baldwin,
to within seven or eight miles of Mil-
ledgeville, and few ot onr people knew ol
any disorder existing.
The statement that it is impossible to
raise a posse in this connty to arrest the
law-breakers is absolutely nntrae. No
effort had ever been made. In fact onr
officers had no information whatever
about the affair. We dare say Sheriff
Stewart could raise a posse in a few
hours sufficient to have arrested these or
any other law-breakers.

Complexion of the Next House.
Waihioston Special to the New York Graphio.J
The news from Maine, in the judgment
of politicians here, settles the question
that the new House of Representatives
will be Democratic and largely so, If
the Republicans cannot hold their own in
States like Vermont and Maine, it is held
that in more doubtful States they must
expect serious losses. The next Senate
!b Democratic by a majority of from ten
to fourteen, and it is now predicted that
there wi-1 ba a Democratic and a Green
back majority in the next House of from
thirty to forty. Of these it ia supposed
some sixteen or seventeen will be out-
and-out Greenbackers. But a great
many cf the Democrats will be pledged
In the policy of that party. There is no
doubt expressed but what the Democrats
will have a majority over both the Re
publicans and the out-and-out Green
hackers.

Bleckley, J.—1. In dismissing an
affidavit of illegality interposed to a
mortgage fi fa, the ground of dismissal
being that the affidavit was relumed in
to Coart without an older from the
judge, it was mere surplusage to add,
“with leave to the defendant to apply for
such order." Leave to apply thus granted
ccnld neither enlarge the legal rights of
one party, cor restrict tboeo of the other.
2. In a mortgage fi fa, the property
was not set out: as the property of the
defendant or mortgagor, and the entire
description was in these terms: “The

one buggy usd harness, one wagon."
The fi fa was properly quashed, cn motion

Taylor vs. Scott ct al. Complaint,
from Sumter.
Bleckley, J.—1. Certain promissory
notes setting cut crop liens, being made
in 1874, two of the makers being sureties
for the third, though not so appearing on
the face of the writings, and the fact of
the suretyship being known to the
creditor and one of the sureties
having signed on the faith of the cred
itor’a promise that he (the creditor)
wonld apply the principal’s crop of that
year to these particular notes, and said
surety having communicated such prom
ise to the other before the latter signed,
and both having thus signed on the faith
of the promise, tho creditor was bound
to make the application accordingly, and
his failure to do so discharged the sure
ties, the crop being of sufficient value to
pay all the notes.
2, It was no excuse for the creditor
that a partnership, of whioh ho was a
member, took, afterwards, crop liens
upon the same orop of the prinoipal, for
advances made to produce the orop and
that, nnder these liens, the orop was de
livered by tho prinoipal to tho partner
ship, and that the creditor, as an individ-
nal, did not in faot reoeive the crop, and
consequently had no power to appropriate
it to his indtvidnal claims. As a partner,
he should not have entered into obliga
tions conflicting with his prior underta
king as an individual.

What theKew York Papers Say
About It.
New Yoek, September 10.—The Times
to-morrow, commenting on the election
in Maine, says: i* The news shows that
the Greenbackets have captured the De
mocracy, and at the same time inflicted a
serious blow upon the Republican party.
The fact is rendered alt the more omin
ous by the indifference with which it
seems to be regarded. The possibility,
we mast acknowledge, is, then, a Green
back and Democralio coalition, one of
whose immediate results wonld be an on
slaught npon the currency, upon resump
tion and npon the eredit. The only pledge
of safety that can he obtained depends
npon the trinmph of Republicans on a
basis as broad and solid as that on whioh
they fought in Maine."
The Fun deolares the election an event
of immense significance. While the Bo-
publicans are defeated it is in no sense a
Democratic victory. The Democrats
voted with the Nationals, Greenbackers
and rebellious Republicans generally for
the destruction of the Republican party,
but they have gained nothiDg for them
selves. Both parties are shaken as by a
hirlwind and the future can only show
how for the storm will go.
The Herald says: “This is the first
time Republican ascendancy in Maine
has been broken or shaken since the par
ty sprang into existence. Suffix a start
ling change must affect other States,
especially in Massachusetts, where tho
Butler men will be greatly encouraged.
The strength developed by the Green-
baohers, especially in the rural districts
of Maine, is astounding. There remains
no longer the slightest chances of a Re
publican majority in either bou33 of
Congress. The Democratic paity will
fed encouraged and confident of carrying
the next Presidential election,"
The World suggests that the Republi

From henceforward it may be set down
that if money can contribute to the suc
cess of the Republican ticket it will be
supplied. A circular is in course of
preparation by the Republican Congres-
sional Committee, to be issued to national
banks throughout tbo country, which will
call npon them to subscribe liberally to
the campaign fond. Already many have
subscribed* but the committee will take
advantage of the Maine disaster to force
its claims npon these institutions, and
have good reason to believe that they
will see the necessity of making a final
effort to perpetuate themselves. “There
is one thing," remarked a Republican to
day, “which the resultof the election in
Maine and Yermont has made plain, and
that is that the national basks must con
tribute liberally to the Rspublican cam
paign fond. Tho interests of both are
identical, and if their officers cannot read
the lesson of the greenback victories in
New England they are too obtuse to de
serve consideration.”
A New school System.
Cincinnati Commercial.!
The pnblio schools of Boston have thia
year adopted a new programme in their
system of instruction. In the primary
department tho teaching is to be entirely
oralpand the scholars are to learn from
objects and from the teacher, instead of
from the hook. Oral lessons will be
given on picture?, plants, animals, form,
color, measures, vegetables, minerals,
eto., and the children in this way accus
tomed to the use of words. Attention will
bo given to fables, stories and simple po
etry. The entire system will be taught
from the metric apparatus. The primary
speller will be discarded, and easy, com
mon words from the reader substituted.
In the grammar grade the grammar, in
name at least, is abolished, and also the
spelling book. In the place of grammar
is “language,” which means less attention
to parsing, etc., and moro to composition,
the construction of sentences, use of cap
ital?, letter writing and analysis. The
amount of writing in copy-books is to be
reduced one-helf, and instead, more wri
ting in blank books.
Tlie Butler Scare In Hassachn-

Boston Post.l
A gentleman who holds a high cffloial
position in Washington, himself a resident
of New England, has returned from a
month’s visit to New Hampshire, Maine
and Massachusetts, and says that the
Groenbaok movement in New England
surprises him in its extent. In Massa
chusetts, he says, the exoitement raised
by General Butler is very great, and that
it has had the effeot to frighten the aris
tocratic and money portion of the people,
who, for the first time in many years,
will take an active interest in the cam
paign.
They are determined that Butler shall
never bs Governor of Massachusetts, and
no legitimate means will be left untried
to accomplish this resolution. They
will raise large sums of money for printing
for speakers, for processions, mnsio and
other purposes, and it is said they are so
much frightened at Bntler’s progress
that they are satisfied that he cannot be
defeated by frowns and protests. Gen
eral Bntler, oa his pari, is making a des
perate fight, he very well knowing that
at the age of sixty years ho can never re
cover if ho loses this battle. These be
ing the facts a very heated campaign ia
looked for. The Republican convention
will assemble at Worcester next week,
and tbe platform is anxiously looked for.

Remedy tor the Yellow Fever.
Abbeville, ala, August 10.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: As
the yellow fever is prevailing in some of
our towns and cities, I have concluded to
give the pnblio my views as to the rem
edy, in a condensed form.
Believing, aa I do, that the direass is
caused by a noc-microscopic insect, which
enters the circulation, puncturing tbe
blood corpulses, and disintegrating tbe
blood—hence the black vomit.
Believing as I do, the treatment is ap
parent. It has been long krown to the
profession that arsenic is detrimental to
all insect life of the lower order. Sassa
fras is equally as deadly, hence I would
give thia combination, using this formu
la: Fowlei’s sol. arsenic, 1 ounce; oil
sassafras, 1 ounce. Dose, ten drops et-
ery three or four hours.
Some may think the dcse too large;
but it is a well-known fact that in fright
or nervons depression persons will toler
ate larger doses than at other times.
For instance, in snake bites I have
seen persons not used to whisky drink
an inordinate quantity. May not the
same rale apply" to arsenic, under like
circumstances?

TEACHING ECHCOL IN SHE EABLT TIKES OF
CALIFORNIA.
SanFrancisco Chronicled
‘Mister, no doubt yon have all the
learnin’ that’s required in a school-teach
er, but it wants more than learnin’ to
make a man able to teach school in Cran
berry Gulch. You’ll soon find that out
if you try. We’ve had three who tried it
on. One lays there in the grave-yard;
another lost his eye and left; the lost one
opened school and left before noontime
for the benefit of his health. He hasn’t
been hack eince. Now you’re a slender
build, and all your learning will only
make it worse, for all your young folks
are roughs, and don’c stand no nonsense!’
This was what the trastees of the dis
trict said to my friend Harry Flotee when
he made application for tbe vacant posi
tion of teacher.
‘Let mo try. I know I am slender,
but I am tough, and i have a strong
will,’ said Harry.
*Jast as you like 1 There’s the school-
bouse, and I’ll have notice given if you
want it done,’ said tbe trustee.
‘I del’ said Harry. ‘And I’ll open
next Monday at 8 A. M.’
The notice was given, and there was a
gcod deal of excitement in, the Gulch and
along the Yuba fiats. More tban fifty
yonng people of both sexes made an
excuse to drop into the tavern to get a
sight at the fellow who thought he could
keep school in that district, and many a
contemptuous glance fell on the slender
form and yontfcfnl face of the wonld-be
teacher.
E'ght o’clock cn Monday morning
came, and Harry Flotee went down to
the school-house with a key in one hand
and a valise in the other.
‘Ready to slope if he finds we’re too
much for him,’ said a cross-eyed, broad'
shouldered fellow of eighteen. The
school-house was unlocked, and the new
teacher went to the desk. Some of the
yonng folks went in to see what he was
going to do, though school was not called.
Harry opened his valise and took out a
large belt. Then, after buckling it
around his waist, hejrat three Colt’s nary
revolvers there, eacli of six barrels, and a
bowie-knife eighteen inches in the blade.
‘Thunder! Ho means business,’ mut
tered the cross-eyed chap.
The new teacher now took out a square
card about four inches each way, walked
to the other end of the eohool-honse, and
tacked it up against the wall. Return
ing to his desk he drew a revolver from
his belt, and quick as thought sent bal
after ball into tho card, till there were
six balls in a spot not much larger than a
eilver dollar.
By this time the sehool-houso was half
fall of large boys and girls. The 1 ttie
ones were afraid to come in.
Then the teacher walked half way
down the room with the bowie-knife in
his band, and threw it with eo vine a
hand that it stack quivering in the very
centre of the card.
He left it there, and pnt two more
knivea of the came kind in his belt, and
quietly reloaded his yet smoking pistol.
‘Ring the bell; I am abont to open
school.’
He 6poke to the crcs3-eyod boy, the
bully of the crowd, and the boy rniig the
bell without a word.
‘The scholars, will tare their seat?; I
open school with prayer,’ he said sternly,
five minutes later.
The scholars sat down, silent, almost
breathless.
After the prayer the teacher cocked a
revolver and walked down on tho floor.
‘We will arrange ths classes,’ he said.
‘All who can read, write and spell will
rise. Of them wo will form the first
class.’
Only six got np. He escorted thorn to
upper seats. And then he began to ex'
amine the rest. A whisper wa3 heard
behind him. In a second he wheeled,
revolver in hand.
‘No whispering allowed here!’ he thua
dered; and for an instant his revolver
lay on a level with the cross-eyed boy’s
head.
‘I’ll not do so any more,’ gasped the
bully.
‘See you do not. I never give a second
warning,’ said the teacher, and the revol
ver fell.
It took two hours to organize the clas
ses, but when done.they wero well organi
zed. Then came recess. The teacher
went ont, too, for the room was crowded
and hot. A hawk was circling overhead
high in the air. The teacher drew a
revolver, and the next second tho hawk
came tumbling down among tho wonder
ing scholars.
From that day on Harry kept school
for two years in Cranberry Gnlcb, hia
salary doubled after the first quarter, and
his pnpils learned to love as well as to
respect him, and the revolvers went ont
of sight within a mentb.
They had found a man at Lit who
could keep school. This is a faot.

Fbekont, Ohio, Sept. 9.—The mar

Miller, daughter of Anson G. Miller, cash
ier of the First National Bank, known aa
Hayes’ Bank, will soon be celebrated in
this village. Miss Miller is a recent
graduate of tho Fremont High School,
nineteen years old, a blonde, tall and
; plain featured, and as yet unfamiliar
with the ways o! the world. Mrs. Grun

wait until Mrs. HayeB goes to New York
for her season’s outfit, and will have
everything prepared tinder that lady’s

A Beautiful Monument to bB
Erected In Macon, Ga , In
Memory ol tbe Brave confedo
erate Dead.
From a Louisville Paper!
A brief description will.not prove un
interesting to onr readers. A number of
workmen are sow busily engaged in
Muldoon & Co/s marble quarries, Carara,
Italy, getting the blocks of marble into
a shape to place in the artists’ hands,
and the huge piece of work will be finish*
ed and shipped to America early next
spring. When mounted the monument
will be thirty feet in height, and will
make a most imposing appearance.
The ground base is to be oT Amorcan
granite, nine feet square, and on top of
this will be another block of granite seven
feet six inches square, and then a richly
molded marble base six feet seven inches
square supporting a largo die block with
handsome Greoian oap. This block will
furnish the tablets for the Inscriptions,
emblems, &c. It is of solid marble, and
weighs over 16,000 pound?. On the front
panel, carved in alto-relievo ia the Con
federate seal, amid which is inscribed:
£2d. 186S. DeoVindice.
The celebrated picture of “Stonewall
Jackson on home-back” is substituted for
the center-piece of the seal, instead of
the equestiian figure of Washington.
The change is a very beautiful addition
to the seal, and is decidedly more suita
ble. The seal it surrounded by a wreath
emblematic of the South, composed of
the chief pioloots, cotton-plant, sugar
cane, wheat, and leaves of the principal
forest trees. On ' the right panel is a
stand of arms with military emblems,
over which a Confederate flag ia thrown,
the staff broken and the flag in tatters.
Tho left panel is a s?&l ot the State of
Georgia, and on the reveres the inscrip
tion?, etc. The whole is surmounted by
a colsrsal statue of a young Confederate
soldier eleven feet in height, standing in
a graceful position at rest on his musket.
Wbea completed the monument will
be the fin°st in the Southern country. It
wilibs unveiled with imposing ceremo
nies next spring.

Tbe Mystery of Yellow Fever.
New York Times’ Communication!
This is simple, but terrible. It is a
specific poison, whioh is never generated
anew, bnt always propagated from old
Btock. It is killed by frost and various
disinfectants, of whioh fresh air, plenty
of soap and water, a solution of sulphate
of zino for bed and body clothes, and sul
phate of iron and oarbolio acid for street?,
yards, privies, gutters and all dirty holes.
It iB always imported into this country
from plaoes where there is no frost, each
aa'Havana, Vera Cruz and other place?.
The yellow fever patient ia not personally
infeotious or contagious, bnt everything
which comes from him becomes so out
side of the body, by changes whioh take
plaoe in them in the oonrse of a few days.
Thus, the sweat which soaks the bed and
linen beoomeB infection?, nnless this
olothing is dropped at once into a solntion
of sulphate of zino, or some other equally
good disinfectant, and then quickly and
earefnlly washed. The vomits, the blood
from the various hemorrhages, the urine,
and the passages from the bowels, nnlesB
disinfected at once, soon produce a ma
laria which infect others. If these
things are thrown ont npon the ground,
a poisonous malaria will arise from them;
if into privies, the matter becomes still
worse. If dirty clothing is put nnder
beds or into closets or in corners of
room?, a malaria will arise from it. It
nrine is left to stand and spoil and putrify
the same thing will happen, etc. All the
public disinfection of streets, yards, gut
ters, privies, etc,, will amount to little or
nothing nnless absolute cleanliness is
preaeived in persona and houses. Firmer
of cannon and fumigating with sulphur
are also almost useless when compared
with the above.
An exchange, in commenting on th
yellow fever, Biya it is a moat mysterious,
and In many xeBpeots an incomprehensi
ble disease. The few general facts that
seem to have been learned abont it, after
close and varied observation, are not in
frequently contradicted by new experi
ence. One of Its widely-supposed pecul
iarities is that it cannot live at a certain
elevation, 2,500 feet above sea level being
sufficient, it is thought, to exolude it
completely. Yet, Isng before Cortez
inveded Mexico, the natives of tho coun
try Buffered terribly from an epidemio
whioh was, beyond ell rational donbt,
identical with whit is now known as yel
low fever.
This epidemic—it was . called Mflr
nahuatl—prevailed repeatedly, with great
virulence and moitality, daring the six
teenth and seventeenth centnries, on the
table lands cf Mexico, from 7,200 to 7,800
feet above the sea. If it has raged at
that height, it may rage at an equal
height again, and thua the favorite and
now universally accepted theory be ever-
thrown. It ia surprising how very little
is known of the yellow fever as to its
•ymptosas, consequences, general oonrse
and treatment: for, while it haB been rec
ognized only abont 200 aa a distinctive
disease, it has been a fearful scourge at
least since the beginning of the fifteenth
century. It used to be called tbe plague
and it iB little less hideous and destruct
ive than that frightful pestilence, now
happily confined to the hot and fifthy
Saat.
