A Battle With an Alligator.
Robert Carroll, a trapper and linnter,
while trapping for otters on West Choc
tawpatehio River, in Alabama, had a
terrible fight with an alligator, so a local
paper tells tis.
Seeing the water agitated in a hole
near the river, and supposing that otters
were fishing therein, he mounted a pole
on a tussock just above the water’s edge.
His steel traps were in a sack suspended
from his neck. His only weapon was
his hatchet. lie sat on the, pole, with a
mass of vines at his back. He held his
weapon ready to strike an otter, should
one arise.
Boon he saw a young alligator near
him. He caught it up and it uttered a
cry. In an instant there was a terrible
splash of water, and a huge alligator
with distended mouth and glittering
teeth rushed for him. With little hope
of escape he fell hack upon the vines,
and as he did so kicked the pole from
under his feet.
The terrible jaws closed on the polo
and crushed it. Carroll tried to inter
pose the traps, but a vine had caught
them and partly held him down.
Seizing his hatchet he struck into the
open month of his assailant. It closed
on the weapon, and with great difficulty
he saved the hatchet. Getting free from
his traps, he dealt the alligator a fatal
blow on the sknll as it made the next
charge.
He secured the skin and such teeth as
had not been destroyed in the fight.
The length of the alligator was about
nine and a half feet. The hole was its
den. Alligators rarely attack human
beings.

G<ml hath no many ships upon the sea !
His are the merchantmen that carry treasure,

The little fisher boats ami harks of pleasure.
On all this sea of time there is not one
That sailed without the glorious Name thereon.
The winds go up and down upon the sea,
And some they lightly clasp, entreating
kindly.

And other ships they buffet, long and blindly-
The cloud comes down on the great sinking

And on the shore the watchers stand and
weep.
An-1 God hath many wrecks within the sea;
Oh, it is deep! I look in fear and wonder-
The wisdom throned above is dark to me,
Vet it is sweet to think His care is under;
That yet the sunken treasure may he drawn
Into his storehouse when the sea is gone.
Bo I, that sail in peril on the sea.
With my beloved, whom yet the waves may
cover,
Ray—God hath more than angels’ care of me,
And larger share than I in friend and lover.
Why weep ye so, ye watchers on the land?
This deep is but the hollow of His hand.
Caul Rpenceh.
A, Story o f Duty.
[From Every Other Saturday.]
In the middle of a dark night Joel, a
hoy of nine years old, heard his name
called by a voice which, through his
sleep, seemed miles away. Joel had
been tired enough when he went to bed,
and yet he had not gone to sleep for
some time; his heart beat so at the idea
of his mother being very ill. He well
remembered his father’s death, and his
mother’s illness now revived some feel
ings which he had almost forgotten.
His bed was merely some clothes
spread on the floor, and covered with a
rug; but he did not mind that; and he
could have gone to sleep at once but for
the fear that had come over him. When
he did sleep, his sleep was sound; so
that his mother’s feeble voice calling him
seemed like a call from miles away.
In a minute Joel was up and wide
awake.
“Light the candle,” ho could just
hear the voice say.
He lighted the caudle, and his bent
ing heart seemed to stop when ho saw
his mother's face. He seemed hardly to
know whether it was his mother or no.
“Shall I call—-V”
“Call nobody, my dear. Como here.”
He laid his cheek to hers.
“Mother, you are dying,” ho mur
mured.
“Yes, love, lam dying. It is no use
calling any one. Theso little ones,
Joel.”
“I will take care of them, mother.”
“Yon, my child ! How should that
be?”
“Why not?” said the boy, raising
himself, and standing at his best height.
'Look at me, mother. I can work, I
promise you—”
Uis mother could not lift her hand,
but she moved a finger in a way which
checked him.
"Promise nothing that may be too
hard afterward,” she said.
“I promise to try, then,” he said
“that little sisters shall live at home,
and never go to the work-house.” Ho
spoko cheerfully, though the candle
light glittered in the two streams of
tears on his cheeks. “We can go on
living here; and we shall be so—”
It would not do. The sense of their
coming desolation rushed over him in a
way too terrible to be borne. He hid
his face beside her, murmuring :
“Oh, mother! mother!' 1
His mother found strength to move
her hand now. Bhe stroked his head
with a trembling touch, which he
seemed to feel as long as he lived. She
could not sav much more. She told him
she had no fear of any of them. They
would bo taken care of. She advised
him not to awaken the little ones, who
were sound asleep on the other side of
her, and begged him to lie down himself
till daylight, and try to sleep, when she
should be gone.
This was the last thing she said. The
candle was very low; but before it went
out, she was gone. Joel had always
done what his mother wished ; hut ho
could not obey her in the last thin#
she said. He lighted another candle
when the first went out, and sat think
ing, till the gray dawn began to show
through the window.
When he called the neighbors, they
were astonished at his quietness. He
had taken up the children and dressed
them, and made the room tidy, and
lighted the tire, before he told anybody
what had happened. And when he
opened the door, his little sister was in
his arms. She was two years old, and
could walk, of course; bnt she liked being
in Joel’s arms. Poor Willy was the most
confonnded. He stood with his pinafore
at his mouth, staring at the bed, and
wondering that his mother lay so still.
If the neighbors were astonished at
Joel that morning, they might be more
so at some things they saw afterward;
bnt they were not. Everything seemed
done so naturally; and the boy evidently
considered what he had to do so much a
matter of course that less sensation was
excited than about many smaller things.
After the funeral was over, Joel tied
up all his mother’s clothes. He carried
the bundle on one arm, and his sister
on the other. He would not have liked
to take money for what he had seen his
mother wear; but he changed them away
SUMMERVILLE, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL <>, 1884.
for new and strong clothes for the child.
He did not scorn to want any help, no
went to the factory the next morning, ns
usual, after washing and dressing the
children, aud getting a breakfast of brood
and milk with them. There was no fire;
and he put every knife and other danger
ous thing on a high shelf, and gave
them some trifles to play with, and
promised to eorno and play with them at
dinner-time. And ho did play. Ho
played heartily with the little one, aud
as if lie enjoyed it, every day at noon
hour. Many a merry laugh the neigh
bors heard from that room when tho three
children were together, and the laugh
was often Joel’s.
How ho learned to manage, and espe
cially to cook, nobody knew; and ho
could himself have told little more than
that ho wanted to see how people did it,
and looked accordingly at every oppor
tunity. He certainly fed tho children
well; and himself, too. He know that
everything depended on his strength
being kept up. His sister sat on his
knee to be fed till slio could feed her
self. Ho was sorry to give it up; but he
Baid she must learn to behave. So ho
smoothed her hair, and washed her face
before dinner, and showed her how to
fold her hands while ho said grace. Ho
took as much pains to train her to good
manners at tablo as if ho had been a
governess, teaching a little lady. While
she remained a “baby” ho slept in tho
middle of the bed, between tho two
that she might have loom, and not ho
disturbed; and when she ceased to be a
hairy, ho silently made new arrange
ments. no denied himself a hat, which
lie much wanted, in order to buy a con
siderable quantity of coarse dark calico,
which, with bis own hands he made into
a curtain, and slung across a part of the
room; thus shutting off about a third of
it. Here bo contrived to make up a lit
tle bed for bis sister; and ho was not
satisfied till she had a basin and a jug,
and a piece of soap of her own. Here
nobody but himself was to intrude upon
her without leave; and, indeed, he al
ways made her understand that ho came
only to take care of her. It was not
only that Willy was not to see her un
dressed. A neighbor or two now and
thou lifted the latch without knocking.
One of theso ono day heard something
from behind tho curtain, which made
her call her husband silently to listen;
and they always afterward treated Joel
ns if he wore a man, and one whom they
looked up to. Ho was teaching the
child her little prayer. Tho earnest,
sweet, devout tones by the boy, and tho
innocent, cheerful imitation of the little
ono, were beautiful to hear, the listeners
said.
Though so well taken care of, she was
not to be pampered; there would have
been no kindness in that. Very early,
indeed, she was taught, in a merry sort
of way, to put things in their places, and
to sweep the floor, and to.wash up the
crockery. Slio was a handy little thing,
well trained and docile. Ono reward
lliut Joel had for his management was,
that she was early fit to go to chapel.
This was a great point; as lie, choosing
to send Willy regularly, could not go
till ho could tako tho little girl with
him. Bhe was never known to be rest
less ; and Joel was quite proud of her.
Willy was not neglected for the little
girl’s sake. In tlioso days children went
earlier to the factory and worked longer
than they do now, and by the time tho
sister was five years old Willy bccamo a
factory boy; and his pay put the little
girl to school. When she, at seven,
went to the factory too. Joel’s life was
altogether an easier one. ne always
had maintained them all, from tho day
of his mother’s death. The times must
liavo been good—work constant and
wages steady—or he could not have done
it. Now, when all three were earning,
he put his sister to a sowing-school for
two evenings in the week and the Sat
urday afternoons; and he and Willy
attended an evening school, as they
found they could afford it. ne always
escorted the little girl wherever she had
to go; into tho factory, and home again,
to the school door and home again, and
to the Supday-school; yet he was him
self remarkably punctual at work and at
worship. He was a humble, earnest,
docile pupil himself at the Sunday
school—quite unconscious that he was
more advanced than other boys in the
sublime science and practico of duty.
He felt that everybody was very kind to
him, but lie was unaware that others
felt it an honor to be kind to him.
I linger on these years, when he was
a fine growing lari, in a state of high
content. I linger, unwilling to proceed.
But the end must come; and it is soon
told. He was sixteen, l think, when he
was asked to become a teacher in the
Sunday-school, while wholly not eeas-
1 ing to be a scholar. He tried, and made
a capital teacher, and he won the hearts
of the children while trying to open
their minds. By this he became more
widely known than before.
One day in the next year, a tremen
dous claiter and crash was heard in the
factory where Joel worked. A dead si
lence succeeded, and then several called
out that it was only an iron bar that had
, fallen down. This was true, but the
! iron bar had fallen on Joel’s head, and
; be was taken up dead 1
Such a funeral as his is rarely seen.
There is a something that strikes on all
hearts in the spectacle of a soldier’s
' funeral—the drum, the march of com
rades, and the belt and cap laid on the
eofllu. But there was something more
solemn and more moving than all such
observance in the funeral of this young
soldier, who had so bravely filled his
place in tho conflict of life. There was
tho tread of comrades here, for fho long
est street was filled from end to end.
For relics, there wero his brother and
sister; and for a solemn dirge, the un
oontrollablo groans of n heart-stricken
multitude.
IN DEATH TOR ETHER.
Tin* Shook of 111* Wife’* Sudden Drnth
Ciiiimliik llii Own.
A mos, remarkable occurrence was re
ported in tho First Ward of Milwaukee.
A local paper says :—At an early hour
Frederick C. Bradley, a well-known
citizen, formerly a man of considerable
wealth, called at the house of a neigh
bor and asked if some ono would come to
his house as his wife was very ill. In
half an hour the neighbor aud his wife
reached tho bedroom of tho Bradley's
and wore horrified to find both tho man
and his wife lying on the floor dead. At
first every ono supposed a tragedy had
been committed, aud tho affair eroated
a groat sensation. Later on, it was
generally accepted as a fact that the
couple had boen poisoned. At a late
hour the Coroner held an inquest, and it
resulted in a verdict that tho wife had
died of apoplexy and tho husband of
heart disease. It was shown that both
were troubled from theso causes. The
double death is a remarkable occurrence
and a mystery. The supposition is that
Mrs. Bradley was taken ill and died while
her husband was out calling a neighbor.
When ho returned and found her dead,
the shock was so great that he had a
severe attack of heart disease and dropped
dead.
Mr. Bradley was 65 years old and his
wife was seven years younger. Ho was
born in England, emigrating to tho
United States when a young man. Ho
lived in New York City for a number of
years and worked at civil engineering.
He became wealthy, and at one time was
estimated to be worth nearly 8200,000.
He secured a contract for building 500
miles of road for the Grand Trunk Rail
way, which at that time was the largest
railway contract ever attempted by one
man. This proved an unfortunate un
dertaking for him, Mr. Bradley losing
tho greater part of his wealth, it is said,
through the dishonesty of sub-contract
ors. Subsequently he secured another
railway contract, aud, owing to the sud
den appreciation of the cost of labor
and material, tho remnant of his fortune
was swept away and lie became finan
cially ruined. Ho then came to Milwau
kee and obtained a position as Inspector
of Harbor Improvements under the di
rection of Col. Houston, United States
Engineer. This he held until tho time
of his death.
An English Girl in Canada.
Tlioro aro two sorts of beauty among
the girls of Canada, says a newspaper
correspondent, ns there are two kinds ol
girls the English Canadian and the
French Canadian. Tho English Can
adians are beautiful rather than pretty.
The French girls are captivatiugly pretty.
The English girl is tall and strongly
built. Slio walks w ith her figure rigidly
erect and her head held up, from con
sciousness of strength rather than from
pride. Her cheeks aro like the sides of
a peach that has just begun to ripen.
Tho l'oso blush blends with tho pink,
that is in turn lost in the general creamy
tint of the whole face. Waves of flaxen
or light-brown hair curtain her forehead,
or perhaps her hair is pulled into a
cloud that projects beyond her sealskin
cap. Him has big deep-blue eyes,
eloquent of good health and good na
iuro, and blazing at a touch of excite
ment. Being an athlete, she is a model
of good health, and the equal of her
brothers at tho dinner tablo. Her nose
and mouth aro not too fashionably
small. They match her fine stature, and
the healthy, graceful carriage that tell
of stout limbs and developed muscles.
What a lesson the Montreal girl teaches
to tho New York mothers who bring
their daughters up indoors liko hot
house plants, for fear they will not be
lady-like and womanly ! These robust
girls, in modesty, in grace, in softness
of speech and femininity generally, are
the peers of daughters of Murray Hill,
and yet there is hardly one that cannot
stand by her brother’s side in whatever
sport he is enjoying. These girls can
climb a mountain like deer, they can
skate like the women of Holland, they
are at home on snowshoes, the mad
sport of tho toboggan hills is every-day
fun to them. As these words are written
they are scudding on snowshoes on the
hill, applauding tho curlers in the Gov
ernment sheds, driving their ponies at a
three-minute gait ahead of their sleighs,
skimming breathlessly down the slides,
cutting threes and eights in tho skating
rinks, and bustling along the streets at a
gait that makes a New York man feel as
though he was taking root in the snow,
The Soudan.— What the Soudan is

there are 15,000 Christians and 40,000

tories and photographs of 2,500 crimi
nals, perhaps tou per cent. of whom aro

Service, at Washington. William E.
Brockwny is the most notable person in
the entire collection. He is called the
“King of Counterfeiters,” and occupies
tho first place in this album. Next to
him aro his two pals, Doyle, (ho man
who passed the money, and Charles E.
Smith, tho most expert engraver of
“crooked” work in tho country. In all
their operations Brockway furnished tho
money, laid out tho plans, and was the
brains of the gang. Doyle passed llio
“stuff'’ and Smith was the engraver.
Doylo is now serving a twelve years’
sentence in the Illinois State Frison.
Broc.kway was captured somo few
weeks ago on tho charge of counterfeit
ing some railroad bonds, samples of
which wo liavo hero in this office, aud
Smith is living with liis family in Brook
lyn, N. Y.
Smith engraved the plate from which
the fiimons 81,000 7 30 bond of the issue
of ’OS was printed, and $83,000 worth of
it were actually redeemed at the Treas
ury Department, before it was discovered
to ho a counterfeit. The impression was
so good that tho exports were unable to
determine whether the bonds were genu
ine or counterfeit, and tho matter was
only decided when the Government is
sue bearing the duplicate numbers came
back for redemption. Smith also en
graved what is known ns the Hamilton
850 greenback, and the 8100 note on dif
ferent banks, wliieh are the finest known
of those series. Several years ago a
very shrewd dodge was played by one of
Smith’s confederates on R. H. White k
Cos., of Boston. A woman entered their
store and looked at some very expensive
shawls. Finally, she made up her mind
to take ono, and tendered a thousnnd
dollar bill in payment. The clerk took
the money to the cashier, wtio sent it to
the bank to find out whether it was genu
ine or not. The answer came back that
the bill was good beyond tho shadow of
a doubt. Thou the clerk said that tho
shawl would he sent to the woman’s ad
dress, but she procoeded to get very an
gry, and said that if they could not tako
her money without question that sho
would go elsowhore, and flounced out of
the store in great rago. About an hour
afterward she returned, and told tho
clerk that she had visited Jordan, Marsh
Ac Co’s., Shepard & Norwell’s, Hogg,
Brown k Taylor’s and C. F. Hovey &
Co.’s, but that she had been unable to
find a shawl which suited her as well as
the orio she left in their establishment.
She said she would tako it with her, and
tendered a 81,000 bill in payment. The
shawl was valued at 8200 and iho woman
took it away with her, together with
8800 in change. Tho bill first tendered
was genuine, the second was a counter
feit, and the firm was just 81,000 out of
pocket.
Smith engraved tho plate from which
this counterfeit note was printed, and it
was so nearly perfect that only a minute
examination would liavo caused detec
tion. Smith also engraved the plate
from which the 81,000 6 per cent, bonds
wero printed, but we captured the entire
issue on Doylo in Chicago, amounting in
alt to $201,000. Now I wish to call your
attention to two curious facts. Coun
terfeiting runs in families, and without
exception the men engaged in it are nil
poor. For instance, take the Bullard
family. Thomas, Benjamin, George and
John, four brothers, all in our clutches,
together with an aunt. There is ono
brother out of jail, but we aro satisfied
that he is an honestman. Thomas Bul
lard is a wonderful fellow. He is the
only person, so far as we know, who has
succeeded in imitating the fibre pa nor
upon which the genuine notes and bonds
are printed. At present he is serving a
thirty years’ sentence as a reward for his
discovery. He is a chemist of no ordi
nary attainments, and lieiuvcnted a pro
cess by which he was able to take a
genuine two or one dollar bill, and com
pletely remove all the traces of ink from
its surface. Then with a counterfeit
plate of a higher denomination, he would
print upon the genuine paper, and thus
raise the note. Speaking about raising
notes, here is a check on the Third Na
tional Bank of New York, which was
raised from $451 to $26,908, and paid,
in 1876. The perpetrators worked off
with chemicals all that was written in
the check except the signature, and 1
regret to say that we have never bees
able to discover who did it. Here are
three steel plates which were engraved
by Ulrich for a five-dollar issue. The
engraving is done on soft steel, and
when completed the plate is hardened.
To give you some idea of the amount of
lal>or it takes to engTave ono of these
plates, I can only say that we have
evidence that Ulrich was fifteen months
completing them. Perhaps tho greatest
curiosities in our entire collection are
the bills which made their appearanoo
about four years ago, executed with a
NO.
[H*n entirely by hand. At first wo
thought that it must tako a good amount
of time for tho rascal to turn out one of
tlioso bills, but now wo think that he
produces about ono a week. The de
nominations aro fifties, twenties and tens,
and they arcturnod into tho Treasury for
redemption from all parts of the Union,

A lesson on “Games and Sauces” was
given at Miss Parloa’s Cooking School
in Now York city. A log of venison was
first brought in, and after the lecturer
had pulled off the dry skin from the
meat, sho rubbed it with butter,
dredged it with salt and popper, and
flour enough to form a panto over tho
meat. After skewering tho roast so
as to cover tho shank-bone, it was
placed in a hot oven on n rack to cook.
When the Hour which was sprinkled on
the pan was brown, tho moat was taken
out and water poured in tho pan. Tho
vonison was basted often while roasting
with tho gravy and dredged lightly with
flour, salt and pepper.
While the venison was cooking a
grouse was placed on a platter before the
class, and skewered, and tho breast and
logs were larded with stripes of pork.
The lardons were cut parallel with the
rind of pork, aud only as far as tho first
layer of lean; and wore put in a howl of
cracked ice and water before they wore
used, to draw out the oil and make them
firm. After larding tho grouso it was
rubbed with butter, seasoned with salt
and popper, dredged thickly with flour,
and placed, in it pan on its back, with
out any water. Tho lecturer stated that
it would take about twenty-live minntes
to roast this bird rare or half an hour to
suit tho average taste.
The sauce for tho grouse was prepared
with dry bread, which was rolled and
sifted. Tho lino crumbs, which meas
ured about a third of a cupful, were put
over the fire in a double boiler to cook
with a quarter of an onion and two cup
fuls of milk. The coarse crumbs, which
remained in the sieve, measured about
two-thirds of a cup and theso were
placed in a saucepan with a tablespoon
ful of molted butter, which was heated
hot before tlio crumbs were put in.
When the crumbs were brown they
were set or. * fide and a tablospoonful

Hottentot Tortures.
Tho following is an extract of a loiter
from Walwich Bay, southwest coast of
Africa, dated December 14, 1883: “Tho
atrocious acts of Paul Vistcr (a Hottentot
chief) havo received further confirma
tion. This fiend hold a raid, and it was’
decided not to shoot the prisoners, as is
usually done, lmt to torture them, so it
was decided that the lower jaw of tho
victim should bo severed aud a knife in
serted in tho roof of tho mouth and
forced up to tho brain. These wretches
further amused themselves by putting a
rein with a slipnot round tlio tlfroats of
tho prisoners, hauling them up to trees,
and when tho tongue of tho victim had
protruded somewhat letting him down
again, carrying on this amusement until
the unfortunate prisoner was lifeless.”
The London Daily News believes that
the occurrence of these horrible cruel
ties has been brought to tho notice
of Sir Leicester Smythe, Her Majesty’s
Acting High Commissioner at tho Cape.
An Honest Verdict.
A man had met a girl in a lonely place
and forcibly kissed her. Sho was terri
bly indignant and had him arrested
Sho govo an account on tho witness
stand of how he gazed at her intently,
aud then suddenly throwing his arms
around her imprinted a kiss upon her
lips. The prisoner made no defence,
and the jury was expected to promptly
convict him of assault. They returned
to the court room. “The ju-ju-jury
w-w-would liko to ask the young lady
two questions,” the foreman snid. The
judge consented and she went on the
stand. “D-d-did you wear tho j-j jersey
that you’ve g-g-got on now?” “Yes,
sir,” was the demure reply. “And
w-w-was your ha-ha-hair b-b-banged
like that?” “Yes, sir.” “Then, your
Honor, we acquit the prisoner on the
ground of emo-mo-motional insanity.”—

NEVER KNEW WHAT KILLED HIM.
“I was chopping in the woods ono day
last winter,” said lie, “wlion my dog, a
healthy terrier,crawled into a hollow log
and found a coon. 110 took Mr. Coon
by tlio noso and pulled him out into my
presence. When tho coon saw how I
was situated with a big ax aud a yearn
ing look ho ynnkoil tho dog hack into
tho hole in tho log. Tho dog was a
light weight, but his staying qualities
were something to contemplate. Ho had
tho coon firmly clinched, and to that
i gentle influence ho yielded frequently,
but as often withdrew from tho cold
world, taking the ambitious pup with
him. They kept, sawing it off this way
for nearly an hour, and it began to look
ns though tho coon was going to win the
rubber, when an idea struck me. When
tho dog pulled tho coon out to viow 1
aimed my ax and struck a terrific blow
at the coon’s neck. Just then he gave a
jerk and pulled the dog’s head to the
spot where his should-havo boen.

A OOMrnOMISE.
Asa woman, accompanied by a hoy

storo on Michigan nvenno the other day,

gave the iad a snap on the leg. A groat
commotion was at oueo raised over the
circumstance, aud tho merchant finally
inquired:
“How much do you want to settle this
case ?”
“Ten yards of calico,” promptly re
plied tho woman.
“Very well; come in and get it.”
The cloth was tom off and handed to
her, and mother and son took their de
parture. They returned, however, in a
few minutes, and when the merchant
asked what was wanted sho replied:
“It’s the boy who is raising a fuss
sir. Ho says he got tho hi to and I got
the dress, and ho isn’t satisfied."
“Well, what does ho want?”
“Tliroo sticks of candy will console
him, sir, or if they don’t ho’ll have to
take it out in complaining.”
The sticks wero handed out, and as
the boy broke ono in two aud stuffed his
month full he muttered:
“You let the dog next time bite yon
and I’ll take a suit of clothes and you
may have the candy.” —Detroit Frco

“How aro you ?” asked Denman.
“Pretty well, thank you; but I’ve
just been to a doctor to liavo him look at
my throat?”
“What’s tho matter?”
“Well, the doctor couldn’t give me
any encouragement. At least ho
couldn’t find what I wanted him to
find.”
“What did yon expect him to find?”
“I asked him to look down my throat
for tho saw-mill and farm that had gone
down there.”
“And did ho see nothing of it?”
“No, hut ho advised mo if I over got
another to run it by water.”
